In Quincy, a Flag Day boost to the Bruins - The Patriot Ledger

Families lined the streets Saturday night as the city came together for its 62nd annual Flag Day celebration. Spectators cheered as veterans, marching bands, and flag waving children paraded past the crowds.

Glimpses of the Boston Bruins colors, black and gold, often peaked through the sea of red, white, and blue as a sign of support for the team by the spectators who chose to attend the parade rather than watch the Bruins play the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup.

In turn, those marching in the parade could often be heard shouting 'Go Bruins' in addition to patriotic slogans. Members of the crowd responded with applause or shouted similar sentiments. Many also sang the patriotic songs that the marching bands were performing.

After the parade from Quincy High School's location on Coddington Street to Pageant Field concluded, spectators and participants alike gathered in the field for a fireworks display and the hoisting of the flag.

The 30-by-60 foot American flag was hoisted between the ladders of two fire engines, and the fireworks would later go off in the distance behind the flag as it rippled in the wind, suspended by the two ladders.

'Veterans are fighting for that flag, defending that flag each and every day,' said Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch, during a ceremony before the fireworks. 'That flag is the greatest symbol in the world representing freedom and democracy, and I think every American can make a connection to their flag.'

This year another symbol was also on full display at the parade. The 'Boston Strong' t-shirts that dotted the red, white, and blue audience served as a reminder that the celebration coincided with two month anniversary of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing.

'After everything that Boston has gone through with the Marathon events, it's good to come out and salute the men and women who are defending our freedom overseas,' said spectator Stephen Warren.

In light of the Boston Marathon attack, the city broke with it's tradition of having one parade marshal, and selected a group of first responders from Quincy to lead the day's festivities.

'Each day they are out there protecting you and I,' Koch said. 'They respond to the call not knowing what they are going to find when they answer that call.'

Koch also noted that during the Boston Marathon events members of Quincy's first responders assisted their counterparts in Boston.

Representatives from the city's police and fire departments were also called upon to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance after the flag was raised.

In addition to Mayor Koch, United States Congressman Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., was also among the elected officials on hand for the event.

'Tonight, the city of Quincy is a shining example of what's best about America,' said Lynch to resounding applause.

During the ceremony, retiring Quincy High School Principal Frank Santoro was also honored. Santoro was awarded the Richard J. Koch Youth Service Award, named after the parade's founder and father of Mayor Thomas Koch, for his service to the Quincy school system.

'It gives me great honor to accept this award, especially on behalf of the youth of the city,' said Santoro.�

Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4 - CNET (blog)

Here is everything that we know about the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One and how the yet-to-be-released consoles compare with each other.

The Sony PS4 will be $399 for the holiday season

We've still got about five months before the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launch in North America, and already blood has been spilled.

From Microsoft gathering an arguably more impressive stable of exclusive games, to Sony revealing the lack of restrictions on PS4 games and a $100 lower price -- effectively, not only kicking the Microsoft brand when its down, but also knocking out a few teeth.

This next console launch may be one of the most exciting and brutal yet, and I for one can't wait to comfortably watch from the sidelines, praising Thor I'm not in either of their shoes.

Editors' note (June, 10 11:00 p.m. PT): This story has been extensively updated and expanded since its original publication.

HardwareThe Xbox One and PlayStation 4 house very similar silicon inside their respective bodies, with a few key differences.

According to an exhaustive analysis by Digital Foundry, the biggest difference between the two system's hardware is the type of RAM each uses. The PlayStation 4 uses 8GB GDDR5 RAM, while all signs point to the Xbox One using 8GB of DDR3 RAM. The GDDR5 RAM used in the PlayStation 4 is the same type of RAM used by most PC video cards and is optimized for graphical throughput.

The Playstation 4's Killzone: Shadow Fall is one impressive-looking game.

Richard Leadbetter at Digital Foundry speculates that the PS4's GPU may have as much as 50 percent more raw graphical computational power than the one in the Xbox One. That, coupled with its faster graphics memory, may translate into prettier games on the PS4.

Judging from the demos shown at both Microsoft's and Sony's press conferences, it's difficult to say which system displayed more impressive real-time graphics. Both Final Fantasy XV (or is it Final Fantasy Versus XIII?) and The Order displayed incredibly impressive real-time cut-scenes on the PS4.

Possibly better than anything I saw on the Xbox One during Microsoft's press conference, but it's hard to say for sure having not actually played any of the games and having so far only seen them from hundreds of feet away on giant, but not nearly giant enough, screens.

Once I've had some hands-on time with plenty of games this week, I'll do another update.

Check out the chart below for more details on the consoles' hardware.

ExclusivesTo state the obvious: each company's lineup of first-party (self-published) games will be exclusive to its own console. So, as usual, any new Halo, Gears of War, or Fable titles will remain Xbox only, while future Uncharted, Killzone, or Ratchet and Clank games will only appear on PlayStation.

At its E3 press conference, Microsoft showed many exclusive first-party titles. Key games included Dead Rising 3, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Project Spark, Titanfall, and Forza 5. The company also pledged that all DLC (add-on downloadable content) for Activision's Call of Duty: Ghosts would debut first on the Xbox One.

Key exclusive PlayStation 4 titles shown include Killzone: Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son, Knack, The Order, The Dark Sorcerer, and 10 new indie titles.

If I had to pick which console has the strongest lineup of exclusive games, the Xbox One would be my choice. The exclusive games shown just felt more exciting and than what Sony demoed.

However, the true value of these exclusive titles will depend on how well each plays, so look for further impressions later this week. We'll try to spend as much one-on-one time as possible with each game.

ControllersThe handheld controllers of the PS4 and the Xbox One are evolutionary descendants of the versions found on each respective platform.

The Sony DualShock 4 differentiates itself with a clickable touch pad on the front -- giving developers an additional option when designing games, although we've yet to see it in actual application.

The One's new controller brings key ergonomic refinements over its predecessor.

The DualShock 4's body includes a "light bar" in the front that enables motion control functionality with the PS4's Eye camera to track the position and identify where the controller is and, if need be, actually adjust the split-screen orientation during multiplayer couch gaming. The Xbox One will accomplish this with assistance from Kinect, as it automatically tracks who's holding which controller. The DualShock 4 also includes the social-focused Share button, a built-in speaker, and a headphone jack.

The Xbox One uses Wi-Fi Direct to connect its controller, while the PlayStation 4 relies on Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. On paper, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR's theoretical 3Mbps maximum speed is clearly outclassed by Wi-Fi Direct's 250Mbps theoretical throughput. However, whether this will result in any tangible difference remains to be seen. In the Xbox One's case, the extra bandwidth could end up being important if Microsoft chooses to release add-ons, like a microphone for voice chat, and an updated version of its keyboard pad. It will be interesting to see which wireless standard delivers more efficient battery life.

While we have yet to touch the DualShock 4, CNET's Josh Lowensohn got some very brief hands-on time with the Xbox One game pad.

Motion and voice controlEvery Xbox One unit will come bundled with a second-generation Kinect. While the PS4 will be compatible with Sony's Move controller and new stereo camera, it has yet to announce any plans to bundle them with the system.

The new version of Kinect will offer a wider field of view, better tracking of individuals (limited finger tracking is now included), and the ability to track more overall bodies. And (frighteningly!) also determine your current heart rate.

Kinect 2.0 is watching you.

(Credit: James Martin/CNET)

The first Kinect never really made a strong impression with hard-core gamers, and it's too early to tell just how developers will make use of the second generation's upgraded features, but since every Xbox One owner will have one, its functionality advantages will be much more integrated into your overall Xbox experience.

The device will always be on and simply stating, "Xbox on," will power up your entire system and sign you into your account based on facial recognition. Not to be outdone, Sony says its camera will have similar facial recognition functionality.

Sony's PS4 camera will include some of the same functionality as Kinect 2.0, but probably not all.

(Credit: James Martin/CNET)

More than any other next-generation feature, it's the ability to navigate your entire interface simply with the sound of your voice that feels the most futuristic to me. And by "futuristic" I mean, this is the kind of stuff I envisioned we'd see by this time when I was a kid. Interfaces that bring us one step closer to a holodeck.

Right now it's too early to tell which motion/camera solution will be best, but Kinect may at least be the most ubiquitous. That may inspire more developers to utilize more of its enticing offerings in games.

Nongaming entertainmentMicrosoft's first Xbox One event in May was clearly focused on communicating that the Xbox One would be much more than simply a box to play video games on, and began its presentation demoing how the system would integrate with your television.

The Xbox One will allow you to switch from game to TV show, to the Web, to a movie, to Skype, easily and smoothly (without switching inputs), with just the sound of your voice. You'll also have the ability to multitask, running games and other apps simultaneously.

The Xbox One will not replace your cable box, but will instead allow you to plug your cable box into it, bypassing your cable company's interface, giving you control of live TV through your Xbox One. You'll even be able to create your own personalized "channel" with the shows and services you choose.

Your TV show guide: Xboxed!

Football fans will see deeper integration with NFL on the Xbox One; however, details on how exactly this will work are few. Look for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and other streaming services to make a return from the 360; whether they remain behind Xbox Gold's pay wall has yet to be addressed by Microsoft.

The PS4 will not want for services like streaming video, but live TV integration is not currently on the table. You will see streaming video through Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Redbox Instant, MLB TV, and Sony's own Video Unlimited Service, which hosts over 150,000 movies and TV shows to rent or own. Other services like Music Unlimited, Crackle, and Flixster will also be available on the the PS4.

Sony also announced that its currently working on "cutting edge," exclusive PS4 programming "developed with gamers in mind." But the company didn't provide much more detail than that.

Community and socialDuring the PS4 reveal back in February, Sony was clearly putting out different messaging compared with what had come before. While PSN has seen vast improvements (especially if you're a Plus member) in its offerings as of late, you'd be hard-pressed to compare it favorably with the Xbox Live community experience.

For PS4, Sony is targeting deep integration into its service. It wants you connected all the time. Things like live video chat and Facebook will be natively integrated. When your friends purchase a new game, you'll know, and you'll be able to play new games before they've even finished downloading.

However, the biggest change is the addition of the Share button on the PS4's controller.

Sony will double down on social for the PS4.

Through this button, gamers can broadcast live gameplay, take screenshots, or share videos of their latest gaming triumphs. Your friends will post comments to your screen while they watch you play. If a player is stuck in a particularly difficult section of a game, he can call in an online friend to literally take over his controls. Frustration successfully circumvented, despite a possible bruised ego on the sharer's part.

That's a feature I'll probably never use (see aforementioned tender ego), but I can easily recognize how incredibly cool and useful this could be for many players out there.

With Remote Play you can stream your PS4 game onto a PlayStation Vita. I'm unsure if this will be available for every game, but it does make the PS Vita much more enticing. To me, at least.

Microsoft for its part, has increased its Xbox Live friends list limit from 100 to "all" of them and achievements are getting a big overhaul. It writes on its Xbox One site that the new achievement system will have "richer detail and span across your games and experiences."

Other Xbox One social features include built-in Skype, the ability to track Xbox Live trends, and see what your friends are playing or watching most. With Smart Match you can look for multiplayer games while spending your time in other apps.

Game DVR automatically records the last few seconds of your gameplay and allows you to upload video of your latest triumph for others to see. The Xbox One fully integrates Twitch's live-streaming capabilities. Xbox Live Gold subscribers will be able to not only live stream their own gameplay -- with the option to add voice or video to the stream with Kinect -- but also watch streams of others as well.

SmartGlass will also be more tightly integrated into the Xbox One.

How much?The Xbox One will launch in November for $499 and the PS4 is coming before the holidays for $399. That's a pretty substantial difference, especially given that each system comes with a full 500GB hard drive.

Spec-for-spec, it would appear that the PS4 clearly offers more value, but that's before taking Xbox One's bundled Kinect sensor into account. However, if you couldn't give a Kinectimal's butt about Microsoft's all-seeing eye, then I'd imagine that if the choice was strictly price-based, then it's probably not a difficult one to make.

The PS4 in all its space-aged glory.

As for backward compatibility, Microsoft says no, Sony says not immediately, but in 2014, it plans to launch its cloud gaming service. This will allow PS4 owners to access "a catalog" of "critically acclaimed" PS3 games. So, not truly backwards compatible, but more than what Microsoft is currently planning, which is nothing.

Used games and 'always on'The Xbox requires periodic online check-ins in order to play games. The PS4 has no such requirement and users can play without Internet connections for as long as they like.

On Xbox One, Microsoft says that game publishers can (if they so desire) "enable" you to trade your games in at "participating retailers." Microsoft also says that the Xbox One is designed so you can lend your games to friends, but puts the responsibility of enabling this strictly on the shoulders of the publisher of each game.

Sony puts no such restrictions on PS4 games, saying: "When a gamer buys a PS4 disc, they have the rights to use that disc. They can sell it to another person, lend it to a friend, or keep it forever."

A decidedly different philosophy when it comes to software and what true ownership means in a continually complex digital age. While Microsoft's approach has obvious stoked consumer ire, I have to wonder how publishers are responding to Sony's planned methods.

Still, the proof will be in the pudding and how all of this stuff actually plays out after each console's release, we just can't say yet. Neither console is inexpensive, but Sony definitely seems to be taking a much more pro-consumer approach.

Would you pay $499 for a console in 2013?

Later this yearLook to CNET for our continuing coverage of both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 leading up to each new system's respective launches. Though we don't have all the details just yet, what has been revealed thus far is incredibly exciting, at least for someone (me) who's been gaming for some 35 years now.

I'm anticipating two incredibly impressive systems to launch this year. I hope I'm not disappointed.

FBI: Shannon Richardson tried to frame husband for ricin letters sent to Obama ... - CBS News

TEXARKANA, Texas Shannon Richardson had been married to her husband less than two years when she went to authorities and told them her suspicions: He was the one who had mailed ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg threatening violence against gun-control advocates.

Woman arrested in connection to ricin letters

When investigators looked closer, they reached a different conclusion: It was the 35-year-old pregnant actress who had sent the letters, and she tried to frame her estranged husband in a bizarre case of marital conflict crossing with bioterrorism.

Those allegations are detailed in court documents filed Friday as Richardson was arrested and charged with mailing a threatening communication to the president. The federal charge carries up to 10 years in prison, U.S. attorney's office spokeswoman Davilyn Walston said.

Richardson, a mother of five who has played bit roles on television and in movies, is accused of mailing the ricin-laced letters to the White House, to Bloomberg and to the mayor's Washington gun-control group last month.

Richardson's court-appointed attorney, Tonda Curry, said there was no intention to harm anyone and noted that it's common knowledge that mail is checked before it reaches the person to whom these letters were addressed.

"From what I can say, based on what evidence I've seen, whoever did this crime never intended for ricin to reach the people to which the letters were addressed," Curry said.

According to an FBI affidavit, Richardson contacted authorities on May 30 and implicated her husband, Nathaniel Richardson. She described finding small, brown beans with white speckles '� a description matching the key ingredient in ricin, castor beans '� at the couple's home in New Boston, Texas. She also told investigators that she had found a sticky note on her husband's desk with addresses for Bloomberg and Obama, the affidavit said.

Texas woman arrested in ricin case

But she later failed a polygraph test, the document said, and investigators looking into her story found numerous inconsistencies. Among them: Nathaniel Richardson would have been at work when Internet searches tied to the letters were made on the couple's laptop and when the envelopes containing the letters were postmarked.

Finally, the affidavit says, in an interview with authorities on Thursday, Shannon Richardson admitted that she had received syringes and lye '� a caustic chemical used in making ricin '� in the mail; that she had printed the labels for the letters; and that she mailed them. However, she insisted her husband typed them and "made her" print and send them, the affidavit says.

No charges have been filed against her husband. His attorney, John Delk, told The Associated Press on Friday that his client was pleased with his wife's arrest and was working with authorities to prove his innocence.

Delk previously told the AP that the couple is going through a divorce and that the 33-year-old Army veteran may have been "set up" by his wife. In divorce papers filed Thursday, Nathanial Richardson said the marriage had become "insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

FBI agents wearing hazardous material suits were seen going in and out of the Richardsons' house on Wednesday in nearby New Boston, about 150 miles northeast of Dallas near the Arkansas and Oklahoma borders. Authorities conducted a similar search on May 31.

The house is now under quarantine for "environmental or toxic agents," according to a posting at the residence. Multiple samples taken from the couples' home tested positive for ricin, according to the affidavit. Federal agents also found castor beans along with syringes and other items that could be used to extract the lethal poison, the affidavit says.

Bloomberg issued a statement Friday thanking local and federal law enforcement agencies "for their outstanding work in apprehending a suspect," saying they worked collaboratively from the outset "and will continue to do so as the investigation continues."

Shannon Richardson appears in movies and on TV under the name Shannon Guess. Her resume on the Internet movie database IMDb said she has had small television roles in "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Walking Dead." She had a minor role in the movie "The Blind Side" and appeared in an Avis commercial, according to the resume.

Delk said the Richardsons were expecting their first child in October. Shannon Richardson also has five children ranging in age from 4 to 19 from other relationships, four of whom had been living with the couple in the New Boston home, the attorney said.

Nathaniel Richardson works as a mechanic at the Red River Army Depot near Texarkana, Texas, a facility that repairs tanks, Humvees and other mobile military equipment. He and Shannon were married in October 2011.

A detention hearing for Shannon Richardson is scheduled for next Friday, court records show, and the government is requesting that she be held without bond.

The FBI is investigating at least three cases over the past two months in which ricin was mailed to Obama and other public figures. Ricin has been sent to officials sporadically over the years, but experts say that there seems to be a recent uptick and that copycat attacks '� made possible by the relative ease of extracting the poison '� may be the reason.

If inhaled, ricin can cause respiratory failure, among other symptoms. If swallowed, it can shut down the liver and other organs, resulting in death. The amount of ricin that can fit on the head of a pin is said to be enough to kill an adult if properly prepared. No antidote is available, though researchers are trying to develop one.

Blackhawks now facing tough fight against Kings, with or without Duncan Keith - Yahoo! Canada Sports

LOS ANGELES '� It took nearly an hour, but finally Jeff Carter emerged from the Los Angeles Kings locker room, fresh stitches poking out from under his right lip. Those came courtesy of a high stick from Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith, who was trying to get Carter's attention but wound up doing more than that.

As the two skated up ice midway through the second period after a brief scuffle in the Chicago zone, Keith swung his stick upward at a streaking Carter, catching him in the face. Carter immediately went down; Keith went to the penalty box with a questionably light four-minute minor.

"You can watch the video," Carter said when asked if it was a dirty play. "Draw your own assumptions."

Kings center Jeff Carter (right) left Game 3 with some stitches after getting hit by Duncan Keith. (USA Today �'�Darrell Sutter doesn't need to see the video. The Kings' coach has already drawn his assumption.

"It's retaliation with a stick," he said. "It's not a high stick. '� Don't even need video."

Keith may get a phone call Wednesday from Brendan Shanahan, the NHL's director of player safety, who will decide if the incident warrants a suspension. Whether Keith is allowed to suit up for Thursday night's Game 4 of these Western Conference finals, this much we now know: The Blackhawks, dominators of the regular season, have a fight on their hands.

The defending Stanley Cup champions were back in a familiar place Tuesday night, namely Staples Center, where they haven't lost in this postseason '� and still haven't after scratching out a 3-1, series-saving victory. Series saving because they were in a 2-0 hole after losing both games in Chicago, and dropping a third straight would have almost certainly meant curtains.

Using the trusted combination of Justin Williams' scoring (his wrister barley three minutes in provided much-needed momentum after Sunday's 4-2 trouncing) and Jonathan Quick in net (the Blackhawks launched 10 shots his way in a furious third period only to come up empty), the Kings climbed right back into the series and renewed their quest to become the first repeat champions since 1998.

"We're finding ways to win by only scoring a couple of goals and a big part of that is obviously Quick," said captain Dustin Brown. "He made one save in the third [period] late that saved the game for us."

Jonathan Quick and the Kings are undefeated at home in these playoffs. (AP)With just over three minutes to go and the Kings clinging to a 2-1 lead, Bryan Bickell had the puck on his stick and an unobstructed view five feet from the goal. A quick flick of the wrist put the puck on an open net, only a quicker Quick sent it flying harmlessly away with a flailing blocker.

Off the ice, Quick is about as exciting as a roll of paper towels; on the ice, he's as valuable to his team as any player in hockey.

The Kings have scored two or fewer goals in 11 of 16 playoff games this postseason, yet here they are a single win away from drawing even with the Presidents Trophy winners who had a plus-53 goal differential this season. And the main reason is Quick, who's allowed more than two goals only three times in the playoffs.

"It's like a broken record with Quick," Williams said afterward, before mockingly adding, "Oh, good save."

The Kings took a 2-0 lead six minutes into the second period when Slava Voynov's broken-stick slapper fluttered toward the net, changing up Corey Crawford who was expecting a fastball.

Moments later, Keith's stick caught Carter in the mouth. The Kings were unable to capitalize on the four-minute power play, allowing the Blackhawks to stay in the game, eventually draw within one on Bickell's goal just before the period ended, and keep the outcome in doubt until an empty-net goal in the waning moments clinched the win for the Kings.

"Obviously I wanted to give him a tap, but not where I got him," Keith explained afterward. "I felt bad.

"It was an accident," he continued. "I have no idea [if the league will look at it]. I said it was an accident."

The league and particularly Shanahan will be the judge of that. Aside from Sutter, the Kings mostly took the hit to Carter's face in stride.

"This time of year, players complain a lot in the media about what goes on on the ice, and we're worried about getting ready for Game 4," Brown said. "If [the league] wants to deal with him, they can. It's nothing for the guys in here to be worried about."

Standing in the bowels of Staples Center, a bit of blood still caked on his lip, Carter refused the bait, knowing a bigger fish awaits.

"It is what is man," he said. "It is what it is."

6 Things to Expect from the 2013-14 Champions League Season - Bleacher Report

Surely, things can't be this appalling again. The 2012-13 Champions League campaign was a genuine low point for English teams, accounting for their worst collective outing in Europe's premier club competition in 17 years.

Chelsea and Manchester City were both drawn in tricky groups, and while the Blues redeemed themselves with an exhilarating run to claim the Europa League crown, the Citizens disappointed with some limp, naïve displays.

Arsenal and Manchester United advanced to the knockout rounds but failed to progress further as hoped. Both received unenviable draws in Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, respectively, but while the Gunners were outdone by their own incompetence and the Red Devils'�partly at least'�by the referee's incompetence, neither side will be proud of their European campaigns.

But new seasons bring fresh optimism, and as last season's four prepare for renewed efforts, an improvement can be expected.

Chelsea will surely improve under the near-inevitable stewardship of Jose Mourinho, while Manchester City would be devilishly unlucky to receive as tough a group stage draw as they've had in the last two seasons.

The competition will surely be a major test for incoming United boss David Moyes, but he will likely have the backing and the squad to take his new club into the latter stages.

As for Arsenal, they may not have been the neutrals' choice to take the final top-four spot, but Gunners fans will be hoping that a slightly less chaotic summer may result in improved form in Europe's top club competition.

Tim Curry, 67, recovering at his LA home after suffering a major stroke - Daily Mail

'He is doing great': Tim Curry is recovering at his LA home after having a stroke

Tim Curry, the star of the Rocky Horror Show, is recovering after having a stroke at his home in Los Angeles.

The British actor, 67, is said to be 'doing great' following the collapse.

Curry rose to fame as Dr Frank-N-Furter in the cult musical and went on to a successful stage and film career.

Few details were available about the stroke last night, but sources close to the actor denied suggestions that the stroke had made it difficult for him to speak.

His Los Angeles agent Marcia Hurwitz said: 'Tim is doing great. He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour.'

Curry, who is unmarried and lives in the Hollywood Hills in a Spanish colonial-style villa, is one of Britain's most successful character actors.

In 2011 he was scheduled to appear in a Sir Trevor Nunn production of Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead in Chichester and London but withdrew from the production at the last minute citing ill health.

At the time, he was said to be having debilitating asthma attacks after a chest infection.

The extremely private actor rarely talks about his personal life and it is not known if he has a partner.

He was born in Grappenhall, Cheshire, in 1946. His father James, a Methodist Royal Navy chaplain, died aged 45 when Curry was only 12.

His mother Patricia, a school secretary, died from cancer in 1999 and his older sister, Judy, died in 2001 after� having a brain tumour.

Curry's first professional stage role was in the musical Hair in 1968, the year he graduated from Birmingham University.

Screen star: Tim as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in 1975 cult musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show

He hit the big time in the original 1973 London production of The Rocky Horror Show, playing the mad transvestite scientist Dr Frank-N-Furter. He went with the show to New York and Los Angeles before playing the same character in the 1975 film.

Critics described his performance as 'a mixture of Joan Crawford and Burt Lancaster' and 'Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Marc Bolan all in one'.

For many years he was reluctant to talk about the show, worried that it would typecast him and detract from his later projects.

In 1981 he was nominated for a Tony award for the lead role in the play Amadeus. Other stage roles included The Pirates Of Penzance in 1982 and Me And My Girl in 1987.

Between 2004 and 2007 he played King Arthur in the Monty Python musical Spamalot on stage in Chicago, Broadway and the West End. More recently, in April last year he appeared in Eric Idle's play What About Dick? at the Orpheum in Los Angeles.

His films include Annie, Legend, Home Alone 2 and Charlie's Angels.

I just received these shorts in the mail and was very pleased at their quality, especially for the price. Unfortunately, their size estimates are seriously wrong - I made sure to measure myself before ordering, and couldn't even pull the shorts on. I normally wear a US size 6 and am going to try to order what they consider a US 10 but I'm not confident they'll be large enough. Wish they had larger sizes, these shorts are really cute. I never thought at size 6 that i'd be ordering the largest size a company has to offer...

The truth about Urlacher - Chicago Tribune

May 23, 2013|Dan McNeil

Those of us in the opinion-making business are guilty of wanting it both ways.

We require our superstar athletes to dazzle us not only with their performances, but also fill our notepads with colorful quips. Then when a jock offers total transparency and says something we deem terse or disrespectful, we sour on them for not being more user-friendly.

So it went with Brian Urlacher, who in his 13 years in a Bears uniform exhibited both candor and kindness, but also was capable of being an uncooperative, disrespectful spoiled brat.

On and off the field, there was way more good than bad with Urlacher, who announced his retirement Wednesday after watching his phone not ring for the past nine weeks. It's the right move for the moody middle linebacker, who might not have been able even to pass a physical if an NFL team had extended him a contract offer with which he was comfortable.

While it wasn't completely Urlacher's choice, I applaud the soon-to-be 35-year-old for waving the white flag now and sparing us a 21st Century edition of Dick Butkus. The once-menacing Butkus hung around far longer than his body was capable. The No. 51 I saw play in the early 1970s was a mascot, not the formidable force who was so amazingly captured by NFL Films video shot in the '60s.

Many opinions have been given on Urlacher's place in Bears/NFL history, as well as whether his often-surly disposition should leave Bears fans with a bad taste in their mouths. Here are some things I believe to be the undisputed truth on Urlacher:

'�Urlacher is the Bears' most dominant defensive player in franchise history.

Forget Bill George and everyone else who played in or shortly after the leather helmet era. Same with Butkus, who made his bones tossing around little white running backs on slower playing surfaces.

Urlacher played his position with ferocity and unparalleled speed. He changed games with key takeaways and willed his team to victory.

Mike Singletary? Not even the best linebacker on the woof woof Bears of the '80s. In the Bears' only Super Bowl title season of '85, both Wilber Marshall and Otis Wilson were more impactful players.

'�Urlacher's observation last season the Bears are the only team in the division with a fanbase that boos its own team was idiotic.

'�Fans and media who chastised Urlacher last November for congratulating former teammate Danieal Manning after the Houston safety intercepted a Jay Cutler pass deserved Urlacher's middle finger.

One thing I always enjoyed about Urlacher was his boyish grin while on the "battlefield." A high five or knucklepunch is a harmless gesture representative of good sportsmanship.

'�Before his third season, Urlacher voiced perspective and reverence for Butkus and Singletary at a black tie event called "Decades of Dominance," hosted by ESPN radio. "This is embarrassing," Urlacher humbly said to me backstage before taking his place on the dais. "I've done nothing to deserve being on the same stage with those guys."

'�Urlacher's lowest moment at the lectern was when he waged war with local media shortly after a loss to the Lions in '07. His "Go to FoxSports.com" news conference was nothing shy of embarrassing.

'�Urlacher was at his best against Green Bay. In Week 2 of the '04 season, Urlacher thwarted a Packers scoring attempt just before halftime, stripping the ball from Ahman Green. Mike Brown recovered and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown, giving the Bears a 14-3 lead. The underdog Bears upset Green Bay 21-10.

'�When Urlacher underwent cervical spine surgery in the winter of '08, he demonstrated a sense of humor when he checked into Northwestern Memorial under the pseudonym "Dr. Richard Kimball."

'�Urlacher's fling with Paris Hilton was the male version of "the walk of shame."

'�In a television role as a talking head, Urlacher would be a decent hire. As a talk show host, Urlacher will fail as miserably as Cutler did last fall.

'�Despite the accomplishments of the Raven's Ray Lewis (two Super Bowl rings, including an MVP performance in SB XXXV) Urlacher deserves to be in the Canton Class of 2018.

Lewis was the best ever at the position. Making Urlacher wait an additional year because he also played middle linebacker is the type of logic that should be reserved for baseball writers when they select for Cooperstown.

Ed Garments Women's Moisture Wicking Short, BLACK, 10. 8422 Review

These shorts are true to size and extremely comfortable. The fabric is smooth and soft, with a faint sheen, as you would expect from microfiber. They look great after the initial wash. They are very wrinkle-resistant. I have not had to test the stain resistance yet. Construction appears good, and the front pockets are a good, useful size, which is important to me.The only thing that I cannot comment on is how they will wear over the long term, since I haven't owned them for long. I will update this review if I have any problems.

Sports media NESN, CSNNE compete for Bruins coverage - Boston Globe

Ratings for the Bruins-Rangers Eastern Conference semifinal series on NBC Sports Network have been outstanding, with Game 3 drawing 1.752 million viewers, making it the third-most-watched conference semifinal ever on NBCSN. In Boston, it earned a 16.09 household rating, the highest ever for a semifinal game on the network in this market.

The numbers are great. But entering Thursday night's Game 4, the suspense was lacking, with the Bruins holding a 3-0 lead. That's the main reason the game was bounced to CNBC, sandwiched between 'Mad Money' and 'American Greed: The Wealth Builder Club,' while the more compelling Red Wings-Blackhawks game got the prime spot on NBCSN.

But while the Bruins series wasn't particularly competitive through three games, the competition among Boston's regional sports cable networks certainly was as they vied for viewers before and after NBCSN's game broadcasts.

NESN, the home of the Bruins during the regular season and the first round of the playoffs, has been aggressive in trying to retain viewers even while burdened with the disadvantage of having its studio programming primarily on NESN Plus. A scroll runs across the screen during NESN's Red Sox telecasts reminding viewers of Bruins coverage on NESN Plus, and personalities such as Tom Caron and Dale Arnold have emphasized the Bruins programming via Twitter.

Meanwhile, Comcast SportsNet New England has touted itself as the best Bruins pre- and postgame coverage in town, and studio host Michael Felger was quick to note after Game 3 that the NESN postgame show had signed off a few moments earlier. And CSNNE did own Nielsen bragging rights when it came to ratings after that game, earning a 1.6 in the 10:15-10:45 p.m. window, which more than doubled NESN Plus's 0.7. CSNNE also stayed on the air a half-hour longer, earning a 1.1 from 10:45-11:15.

CSNNE also had higher ratings after Game 1, earning a 0.9 to NESN Plus's 0.2. The Games 1 and 3 postgame shows are the second- and third-highest rated in CSNNE history, after Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final two years ago.

But NESN also deserves a significant benefit of the doubt, because when its postgame coverage was on NESN rather than NESN Plus following Game 2, its numbers were outstanding, earning a 3.2 to CSNNE's 0.3 in the 5:45-6:45 p.m. window. Much of the coverage that day was moved to NESN because the Red Sox game was in a rain delay. Some of the audience may have been tuning in to check on the Sox, but it's also apparent that the unfamiliarity of where to locate NESN Plus can be a hindrance.

Overall, NESN has outrated CSNNE on average during the postgame programming (0.8 to 0.4). And the Game 2 boost from being in the Red Sox window on NESN helped it to a 1.6-0.9 advantage through three postgames.

Honest assessment

The personality traits that made NBC Sports Group so eager to lure Michelle Beadle away from ESPN late last year and feature her as a core personality on upstart NBC Sports Network also must make the network honchos cringe from time to time.

Four months after the debut of NBCSN's sports and pop culture program 'The Crossover,'' hosted by Beadle and former Channel 7 sports reporter Dave Briggs, the show, which has struggled to find an audience in its daily 6 p.m. time slot, has been revamped after a brief hiatus.

Briggs, who wasn't a particularly popular figure among colleagues during his time in Boston (2004-08), is out, though he will remain at NBC.

And Beadle, utilizing the snarky wit and matter-of-fact candor that made her such a popular personality in her previous gig co-hosting ESPN's 'SportsNation,'' didn't attempt to hide her satisfaction with the change during an appearance on 'The Dan Patrick Show' Tuesday.

When Patrick kidded that she 'kicked her co-host to the curb,'' she replied, matter-of-factly, 'Wow. Just wasn't working. When a relationship's not working, you change it.'

Patrick: 'So, this was a divorce?''

Beadle, deadpan: 'Sure. It was an arranged marriage to begin with.''

Patrick: 'Were there fights between you two?'

Beadle: 'We're not friends. That's fine. We don't need to be. We're very different human beings, and that was it. It wasn't a good pairing. I've had good pairings and bad pairings.'

That Beadle could get along with 'SportsNation' co-host Colin Cowherd, who only sporadically mixes in charm among his relentless trolling, for so many years suggests a high tolerance for imperfect co-hosts.

Imaging is everything

Some readers have noted that WEEI has recently changed its imaging voice '� the person whose name is usually unknown but who is responsible for many of the recorded promotions and station identifications and so on. The new voice is Brian Lee, who may sound familiar '� he is the voice of NBC's 'Sunday Night Football.' He replaced longtime imaging voice Jim Cutler, who parted ways with the station at the end of April. It should be noted that this isn't to be confused with the work of Pete Gustin, who is the voice of WEEI's creative bits .�.�. WEEI recently pursued the NFL Network's Albert Breer and CSNNE's Joe Haggerty, both of whom are frequent contributors to 98.5 The Sports Hub. It's uncertain what their roles would have been at WEEI, but both decided to remain at The Sports Hub .�.�. ESPN Boston's Field Yates will be part of a rotating cast of panelists on ESPN's new daily pro football program 'NFL Insiders.' It's further indication that Yates, who also co-hosts ESPN's 'Fantasy Underground' podcast and provides NFL content for 'ESPN Insider,' has his share of supporters among ESPN's talent scouts. The show, which debuts Aug. 5, features Suzy Kolber, Adam Schefter, Bill Polian, and Chris Mortensen, among others. But what may be more notable is what it doesn't feature '� contributions from former players.
