The New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra

The New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra is an American revival orchestra, that performs authentic orchestrations of vintage American popular music from the 1890s through the early 1930s. The orchestra plays particular attention to the music of New Orleans, Louisiana, where it is based. In addition to the well known compositions of jazz and ragtime composers like Jelly Roll Morton, Fletcher Henderson, and Eubie Blake, the orchestra's repertory includes the work of less well remembered New Orleans Tin Pan Alley composers such as Larry Buck, Joe Verges, Paul Sarebresole and Nick Clesi. Taking its name from the SS Leviathan, a transatlantic ocean liner with a well regarded dance band at the start of the 1920s, the orchestra was founded in 1972. Their first performance was at Tulane University, presenting a rather tongue-in-cheek concert of "best loved Oriental Foxtrots" (a then largely forgotten early 20th-century dance music genre), partially satirizing the then-current revival of scholarly interest in classic ragtime.

The orchestra has appeared in Europe and throughout the United States. Recordings were featured in the soundtracks of Woody Allen's 1994 film Bullets over Broadway and Storyville (1992), directed by Mark Frost. New Leviathan performs frequently, and makes a fondly anticipated yearly appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The exact personnel of the orchestra varies, but it frequently features 18 or more pieces. In 2007, the musical director is Greg Merritt, associate music director is Larry Jones and managing director is John Craft.

Pembridge

Pembridge is a village and civil parish in the Arrow valley in Herefordshire, England. The village is on the A44 road about 6 mi east of Kington and 7 mi west of Leominster. The civil parish includes the hamlets of Bearwood, Lower Bearwood, Lower Broxwood, Marston, Moorcot and Weston. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 1,056.

Pembridge is the major part of the electoral ward of Pembridge and Lyonshall with Titley. The 2011 Census recorded the ward's population as 3,124.

History
The toponym "Pembridge" may be derived from the Welsh Pen-y-Bont, anglicised to its current spelling. A more likely origin of the name Pembridge is that it is derived from the Old English Penebrug(g)e, which probably meant "Pena's bridge".

In 1239, Pembridge was granted a royal charter to hold a market and two fairs: the Cowslip Fair held each May and the Woodcock Fair held each November. In the Middle Ages they were important events for agricultural labourers across the county to seek work from landowners.

The village is noted for its historic timber-framed buildings. It is promoted to visitors as "the heart of the Black and White Village Trail".

In West Street, Swan House and School View are two parts of a single building. It was built in the 14th century a hall house, but had an intermediate floor inserted late in the 16th or early in the 17th century. It was further altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a Grade II* listed building. Also in West Street, Forsythia and West Leigh are two parts of another former hall house. It was built in the 14th or 15th century, and altered in the 17th and 19th centuries. It is a Grade II* listed building.

In the Market Place, the core of the Post Office and Stores is another 14th-century house. It was remodelled in the 17th and late 19th centuries and is a Grade II* listed building. Also in Market Place is the Market Hall. This timber-framed building, which has been dated by dendrochronology to c.1520, is not actually a market hall, but merely a covered market. Eight oak pillars support a roof tiled with stone slates. These pillars are supported on unworked stone bases except for one, which stands on the remains of the medieval cross base. It is a Grade II* listed building.

In East Street is the former post office. It is a 15th-century house altered in the 17th and 19th centuries.

Pembridge had two sets of almshouses, each divided into six tenements. Duppa's Almshouses in Bridge Street were endowed by Jeffrey Duppa and founded in 1661. They were augmented by his son Brian Duppa, a Royalist who was Bishop of Winchester from 1660 until his death in 1662. Trafford's Almshouses in East Street were endowed by the Rev Dr Thomas Trafford, DD, and built in 1686.

Elsewhere in the parish, Clear Brook is a mainly 17th-century house with a 16th-century rear wing. The Court of Noke is an 18th-century country house, and the most notable brick-built house in the parish.

Former railway
Building of the Leominster and Kington Railway linking Leominster and Kington was started in 1855 and completed in 1857. It passed through Pembridge parish, where Pembridge railway station served the village. The Great Western Railway leased the line from the 1860s and absorbed it in 1898. British Railways closed the line to passenger traffic in February 1955 and to freight in late September 1964.

Bridge
The sandstone bridge over the river Arrow was granted Grade II listed status in June 1987, giving it protection from unauthorised alteration or demolition.

Parish church
The chancel is the oldest surviving part of St Mary's Church of England parish church, dating from the 13th-century, although a loose Romanesque pillar piscina remains from the Norman church. Blocked arches on both sides of the chancel mark the entrances to former chapels. The splendid font also dates from the 13th-century. The major rebuilding of the church in a mature Decorated style has been dated c1320-30. The noble nave arcade is of six bays, with circular ogeed cinquefoiled clerestory windows above. The church has a cruciform plan with 14th-century transepts and a vaulted north porch. There is a rood stair turret entered from the South transept and topped externally with a pinnacle. The West door and the North door date from the 14th century and both retain original ironwork.

The pulpit preacher's desk, lectern and communion rail are Jacobean. A north vestry was added in the 19th century, and the building was restored in 1871 by William Chick and in 1903–09 by Roland W. Paul. The church is a Grade I listed building. On the North side of the chancel a pair of 14th century tomb chests, one with contemporary effigies of a knight and his wife, the other with a civilian and his wife. They date from 1360 to 1380 and depict Nicholas Gour, a Sergeant-at-law with his wife and his son, John Gour and his wife, a steward in the employ of the Mortimer family. There are also several memorial tablets, including three of the 17th century to the Sherborne family, and one to Thomas Trafford (d.1685).

Pembridge is one of several Herefordshire parishes whose belltower stands separate from the church. All but the base of the tower is timber-framed: one of a number of partly or largely timber-framed belltowers in Herefordshire. The tower was built early in the 13th century, rebuilt with the addition of an ambulatory in the 15th or 16th century, and further remodelled in the 17th-century when its spire was added. It is a Grade I listed building.

The tower has a ring of five bells. John I Martin of Worcester cast the fourth bell in 1658. Abraham II Rudhall of Gloucester cast the treble bell in 1735. James Barwell of Birmingham cast or recast the first, second and tenor bells in 1898. St Mary's has also a Sanctus bell, which was cast about 1800.

The churchyard contains seven Commonwealth war graves of service personnel, two from World War I and five from World War II.

Amenities
Ye Olde Steppes in East Street is both the village shop and a café and tea room. It is in a 16th-century building that was enlarged in the 17th century and altered in the 19th century.

There is a 17th-century pub, the New Inn, in Market Place. Pembridge had a 16th-century pub, the Greyhound Inn in East Street, but this is now the King's House restaurant. Also in the parish is the Cider Barn bar and restaurant at Hays Head, which opens seasonally.

Admiral of the Fleet Peter John Hill-Norton, Baron Hill-Norton, (8 February 1915 – 16 May 2004) was a senior Royal Navy officer. He fought in the Second World War as gunnery officer in a cruiser operating on the Western Approaches and in the North Sea taking part in the Norwegian Campaign, then in a cruiser taking part in the Arctic convoys and finally in a battleship operating in the Eastern Fleet. After the War he commanded a destroyer and then an aircraft carrier. He served as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff and then Chief of the Defence Staff in early 1970s. In the latter role he gave the final commitment to Project Chevaline, the Polaris missile improvement programme. He went on to be Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.

Naval career
Born the son of Captain Martin John Norton RFC and Margery Birnie Norton (née Hill), Peter John Norton (he changed his surname to Hill-Norton in 1931) was educated at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth and the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1928 and, having been promoted to midshipman on 1 May 1932, was posted to the cruiser HMS London later that year. He transferred to the battleship HMS Rodney in September 1934 and, having been promoted to sub-lieutenant on 1 September 1935, he was posted to the battleship HMS Ramillies in August 1936. Promoted to lieutenant on 1 October 1936, he attended the gunnery course at the shore establishment HMS Excellent in 1939. Hill-Norton served during the Second World War initially as a gunnery instructor at HMS Excellent and then as gunnery officer on the cruiser HMS Cairo operating on the Western Approaches and in the North Sea and taking part in the Norwegian Campaign in Spring 1940. He then transferred to the cruiser HMS Cumberland (57) which took part in the Arctic convoys. He joined the staff of the gunnery division at the Admiralty in 1943 and, having been promoted to lieutenant commander on 1 April 1944, became gunnery officer on the battleship HMS Howe (32) operating in the Eastern Fleet later that year. With HMS Howe he took part in the attack on the Sakishima Islands. After the end of the War Hill-Norton became gunnery officer on the cruiser HMS Nigeria (60) in the South Atlantic and then, having been promoted to commander on 31 December 1947, he was posted to the naval ordnance division at the Admiralty.

He became Head of the Weapon Equipment Section at the Admiralty in 1957 and Director of the Tactical and Weapons Policy Division there in 1958. He was given command of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal (R09) in October 1959, before being promoted to rear admiral on 8 January 1962 and being appointed Assistant Chief of Naval Staff in February 1962. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in the 1964 New Year Honours. He was made Flag Officer Second in Command Far East Fleet in June 1964 during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation and, having been promoted to vice admiral on 7 August 1965, he became Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Personnel and Logistics) at the Ministry of Defence in 1966. He was advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 1967 New Year Honours. Becoming Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel in January 1967, it was in this capacity that he took the decision to abolish the Royal Navy's traditional daily rum ration. He went on to be Vice Chief of the Naval Staff in August 1967 and, having been promoted to full admiral on 1 October 1968, he became Commander-in-Chief Far East Command in March 1969. He was advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in the 1970 Birthday Honours.

Hill-Norton was swiftly propelled into the post of First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in July 1970 and then, having been promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 12 March 1971, into the post of Chief of the Defence Staff in April 1971 following the unexpected early retirement of Sir Michael Le Fanu due to ill health. In the latter role he gave the final commitment to Project Chevaline, the Polaris missile improvement programme. He became Chairman of the NATO Military Committee in 1974, remaining in that post until his retirement in 1977.

Later career
Hill-Norton was made a life peer as  Baron Hill-Norton, of South Nutfield in the County of Surrey, in February 1979, and took an active role at the House of Lords as a crossbencher. He was President of the Sea Cadet Association, Chairman of the Royal Navy Club of 1765 & 1785 (United 1889), a Liveryman of the Shipwrights' Company and a Freeman of the City of London.

Eddie Milner

Edward James Milner Jr. (May 21, 1955 – November 2, 2015) was an American professional baseball player. He played all or parts of nine seasons in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds (1980–86, 1988) and San Francisco Giants (1987), primarily as a center fielder. Milner batted and threw left-handed.

Baseball career
Milner was drafted out of Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio by the Reds in 1976. He was a part of the disappointing transition of the championship Cincinnati Reds teams of the 1970s. The Reds transitioned from players including Ken Griffey Sr., George Foster, and Ray Knight, taking their chances with players including Milner, Gary Redus, and Clint Hurdle. A highlight of Milner's career was a 20-game hitting streak in 1986 in which he had batted .417 to go along with a .667 slugging percentage.

Milner suffered from cocaine addiction during his baseball career. Commissioner Peter Ueberroth suspended him for the entire 1988 season after he relapsed, but he was reinstated before the All-Star break after completing a drug rehabilitation program. The Reds released him on July 31, ending his major league career.

Career statistics
In a nine-year major league career, Milner played in 804 games, accumulating 607 hits in 2,395 at bats for a .253 career batting average along with 42 home runs, 195 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .333. Defensively, he finished his career with a .987 fielding percentage playing at all three outfield positions. Along with César Tovar, Milner is regarded as the all-time major league leader in breaking up no-hit attempts with five. On August 2, 1986, Milner collected his team's only hit in a game for fifth time, tying Tovar's major league record (1975).

Personal life
Milner's cousin, John Milner, was also a major league player.

Milner died on November 2, 2015, in Cincinnati.

Francis Palgrave

Sir Francis Palgrave, (born Francis Ephraim Cohen, July 1788 – 6 July 1861) was an English archivist and historian. He was Deputy Keeper (chief executive) of the Public Record Office from its foundation in 1838 until his death; and he is also remembered for his many scholarly publications.

Early life
Francis Cohen was born in London, the son of Meyer Cohen, a Jewish stockbroker (d. 1831) by his wife Rachel Levien Cohen (d. 1815). He was initially articled as a clerk to a London solicitor's firm, and remained there as chief clerk until 1822. His father was financially ruined in 1810 and Francis, the eldest son, became responsible for supporting his parents. Around 1814, Francis Cohen began contributing to the Edinburgh Review; he made the acquaintance of the banker Dawson Turner and his daughter Elizabeth in 1819, offering to correct the proofs of Turner's Architectural Antiquities of Normandy. In 1821, Francis Cohen was admitted to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, one of his sponsors being Turner. Cohen converted to Anglican Christianity before his marriage to Elizabeth Turner on 13 October 1823.

Around the time of his marriage, Cohen also changed his surname to "Palgrave" (his wife's mother's maiden name) by royal licence. It is not clear if either the religious conversion or the name change were conditions of his marriage; however, his father-in-law paid for the expenses of the name change, and settled £3,000 on the couple.

Career
Palgrave was called to the bar in 1827 (after a long period working for solicitors, 1803–1822).

In 1822, he had advocated publishing the national records, and from 1827 he edited several volumes of medieval texts for the Record Commission, including Parliamentary Writs and Writs of Military Summons (2 volumes, 1827 and 1834; including in vol. 2 a text of Nomina Villarum) and Rotuli Curiae Regis: Rolls and Records of the Court held before the King's Justiciars or Justices (2 volumes, 1835). Meanwhile, he was also publishing historical works of his own, including A History of England (1831), The Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth (1832), An Essay on the Original Authority of the King's Council (1834), Truths and Fictions of the Middle Ages: the Merchant and the Friar (1837) and The History of Normandy and England (1851–64, 4 volumes, of which the last two appeared posthumously).

Palgrave is considered the founder of the Public Record Office. In 1834 he succeeded John Caley as the Keeper of the Records in the chapter house of Westminster Abbey, in which were stored the ancient records of the Exchequer (including Domesday Book), as well as various parliamentary records. From this appointment emerged another important editorial work for the Record Commission, The Ancient Kalendars and Inventories of the Treasury of His Majesty's Exchequer (3 volumes, 1836). In 1838 he was appointed Deputy Keeper of the new Public Record Office, holding that position until his death. In this position, he issued a series of 22 annual reports.

Palgrave was knighted in 1832. In 1834, he was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1860.

Family
Palgrave married Elizabeth Turner (1799–1852) on 13 October 1823. She was the daughter of Dawson Turner (1775–1858) and Mary née Palgrave (1775–1858). Her sister Maria Dawson Turner (1797–1872) married Sir William Jackson Hooker (1785–1865).

Francis and Elizabeth Palgrave were the parents of four sons, all distinguished and all authors in their respective fields:

 * 1) Francis Turner Palgrave (1824–1897), poet, anthologist, educationist and bureaucrat, editor of Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics, better known as Palgrave's Golden Treasury
 * 2) (William) Gifford Palgrave (1826–1888 Montevideo, Uruguay), Jesuit priest and missionary turned diplomat, anthropologist and traveller
 * 3) Sir Robert Harry Inglis Palgrave (1827–1919), economist, knighted 1909, author of Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy, and editor of Palgrave's Collected Historical Works. He married in 1859 Sarah Maria Brightwen, daughter of George Brightwen.
 * 4) Sir Reginald Francis Douce Palgrave (1829–1904), Clerk of the House of Commons 1886–1902. Married Grace Battley, daughter of Richard Battley, in 1857.

Palgrave's wife predeceased him in August 1852.

Trilinear interpolation

Trilinear interpolation is a method of multivariate interpolation on a 3-dimensional regular grid. It approximates the value of a function at an intermediate point $$(x, y, z)$$ within the local axial rectangular prism linearly, using function data on the lattice points. For an arbitrary, unstructured mesh (as used in finite element analysis), other methods of interpolation must be used; if all the mesh elements are tetrahedra (3D simplices), then barycentric coordinates provide a straightforward procedure.

Trilinear interpolation is frequently used in numerical analysis, data analysis, and computer graphics.

Compared to linear and bilinear interpolation
Trilinear interpolation is the extension of linear interpolation, which operates in spaces with dimension $$D = 1$$, and bilinear interpolation, which operates with dimension $$D = 2$$, to dimension $$D = 3$$. These interpolation schemes all use polynomials of order 1, giving an accuracy of order 2, and it requires $$2^D = 8$$ adjacent pre-defined values surrounding the interpolation point. There are several ways to arrive at trilinear interpolation, which is equivalent to 3-dimensional tensor B-spline interpolation of order 1, and the trilinear interpolation operator is also a tensor product of 3 linear interpolation operators.

Method

On a periodic and cubic lattice, let $$x_\text{d}$$, $$y_\text{d}$$, and $$z_\text{d}$$ be the differences between each of $$x$$, $$y$$, $$z$$ and the smaller coordinate related, that is:

 * $$\begin{align}

x_\text{d} = \frac{x - x_0}{x_1 - x_0} \\ y_\text{d} = \frac{y - y_0}{y_1 - y_0} \\ z_\text{d} = \frac{z - z_0}{z_1 - z_0} \end{align}$$

where $$ x_0 $$ indicates the lattice point below $$ x $$, and $$ x_1 $$ indicates the lattice point above $$ x $$ and similarly for $$y_0, y_1, z_0$$ and $$z_1$$.

First we interpolate along $$x$$ (imagine we are "pushing" the face of the cube defined by $$C_{0jk}$$ to the opposing face, defined by $$C_{1jk}$$), giving:
 * $$\begin{align}

c_{00} &= c_{000} (1 - x_\text{d}) + c_{100} x_\text{d} \\ c_{01} &= c_{001} (1 - x_\text{d}) + c_{101} x_\text{d} \\ c_{10} &= c_{010} (1 - x_\text{d}) + c_{110} x_\text{d} \\ c_{11} &= c_{011} (1 - x_\text{d}) + c_{111} x_\text{d} \end{align}$$

Where $$c_{000}$$ means the function value of $$ (x_0, y_0, z_0). $$ Then we interpolate these values (along $$y$$, "pushing" from $$C_{i0k}$$ to $$C_{i1k}$$), giving:
 * $$\begin{align}

c_0 &= c_{00}(1 - y_\text{d}) + c_{10}y_\text{d} \\ c_1 &= c_{01}(1 - y_\text{d}) + c_{11}y_\text{d} \end{align}$$

Finally we interpolate these values along $$z$$ (walking through a line):
 * $$c = c_0(1 - z_\text{d}) + c_1z_\text{d} .$$

This gives us a predicted value for the point.

The result of trilinear interpolation is independent of the order of the interpolation steps along the three axes: any other order, for instance along $$x$$, then along $$y$$, and finally along $$z$$, produces the same value.

The above operations can be visualized as follows: First we find the eight corners of a cube that surround our point of interest. These corners have the values $$c_{000}$$, $$c_{100}$$, $$c_{010}$$, $$c_{110}$$, $$c_{001}$$, $$c_{101}$$, $$c_{011}$$, $$c_{111}$$.

Next, we perform linear interpolation between $$c_{000}$$ and $$c_{100}$$ to find $$c_{00}$$, $$c_{001}$$ and $$c_{101}$$ to find $$c_{01}$$, $$c_{011}$$ and $$c_{111}$$ to find $$c_{11}$$, $$c_{010}$$ and $$c_{110}$$ to find $$c_{10}$$.

Now we do interpolation between $$c_{00}$$ and $$c_{10}$$ to find $$c_{0}$$, $$c_{01}$$ and $$c_{11}$$ to find $$c_{1}$$. Finally, we calculate the value $$c$$ via linear interpolation of $$c_{0}$$ and $$c_{1}$$

In practice, a trilinear interpolation is identical to two bilinear interpolation combined with a linear interpolation:
 * $$c \approx l\left( b(c_{000}, c_{010}, c_{100}, c_{110}),\, b(c_{001}, c_{011}, c_{101}, c_{111})\right)$$

Alternative algorithm
An alternative way to write the solution to the interpolation problem is
 * $$f(x, y, z) \approx a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 y + a_3 z + a_4 x y + a_5 x z + a_6 y z + a_7 x y z$$

where the coefficients are found by solving the linear system
 * $$\begin{align}

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & x_0 & y_0 & z_0 & x_0 y_0 & x_0 z_0 & y_0 z_0 & x_0 y_0 z_0 \\ 1 & x_1 & y_0 & z_0 & x_1 y_0 & x_1 z_0 & y_0 z_0 & x_1 y_0 z_0 \\ 1 & x_0 & y_1 & z_0 & x_0 y_1 & x_0 z_0 & y_1 z_0 & x_0 y_1 z_0 \\ 1 & x_1 & y_1 & z_0 & x_1 y_1 & x_1 z_0 & y_1 z_0 & x_1 y_1 z_0 \\ 1 & x_0 & y_0 & z_1 & x_0 y_0 & x_0 z_1 & y_0 z_1 & x_0 y_0 z_1 \\ 1 & x_1 & y_0 & z_1 & x_1 y_0 & x_1 z_1 & y_0 z_1 & x_1 y_0 z_1 \\ 1 & x_0 & y_1 & z_1 & x_0 y_1 & x_0 z_1 & y_1 z_1 & x_0 y_1 z_1 \\ 1 & x_1 & y_1 & z_1 & x_1 y_1 & x_1 z_1 & y_1 z_1 & x_1 y_1 z_1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} a_0 \\ a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \\ a_4 \\ a_5 \\ a_6 \\ a_7 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} c_{000} \\ c_{100} \\ c_{010} \\ c_{110} \\ c_{001} \\ c_{101} \\ c_{011} \\ c_{111} \end{bmatrix}, \end{align}$$

yielding the result

 * $$\begin{align}

a_0 ={} &\frac{-c_{000} x_1 y_1 z_1 + c_{001} x_1 y_1 z_0 + c_{010} x_1 y_0 z_1 - c_{011} x_1 y_0 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)} +{} \\ &\frac{ c_{100} x_0 y_1 z_1 - c_{101} x_0 y_1 z_0 - c_{110} x_0 y_0 z_1 + c_{111} x_0 y_0 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_1 ={} &\frac{ c_{000} y_1 z_1 - c_{001} y_1 z_0 - c_{010} y_0 z_1 + c_{011} y_0 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)} +{} \\ &\frac{-c_{100} y_1 z_1 + c_{101} y_1 z_0 + c_{110} y_0 z_1 - c_{111} y_0 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_2 ={} &\frac{ c_{000} x_1 z_1 - c_{001} x_1 z_0 - c_{010} x_1 z_1 + c_{011} x_1 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)} +{} \\ &\frac{-c_{100} x_0 z_1 + c_{101} x_0 z_0 + c_{110} x_0 z_1 - c_{111} x_0 z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_3 ={} &\frac{ c_{000} x_1 y_1 - c_{001} x_1 y_1 - c_{010} x_1 y_0 + c_{011} x_1 y_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)} +{} \\ &\frac{-c_{100} x_0 y_1 + c_{101} x_0 y_1 + c_{110} x_0 y_0 - c_{111} x_0 y_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_4 ={} &\frac{-c_{000} z_1 + c_{001} z_0 + c_{010} z_1 - c_{011} z_0 + c_{100} z_1 - c_{101} z_0 - c_{110} z_1 + c_{111} z_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_5 = &\frac{-c_{000} y_1 + c_{001} y_1 + c_{010} y_0 - c_{011} y_0 + c_{100} y_1 - c_{101} y_1 - c_{110} y_0 + c_{111} y_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_6 ={} &\frac{-c_{000} x_1 + c_{001} x_1 + c_{010} x_1 - c_{011} x_1 + c_{100} x_0 - c_{101} x_0 - c_{110} x_0 + c_{111} x_0}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}, \\[4pt] a_7 ={} &\frac{ c_{000} - c_{001} - c_{010} + c_{011} - c_{100} + c_{101} + c_{110} - c_{111}}{(x_0 - x_1) (y_0 - y_1) (z_0 - z_1)}. \end{align}$$

Little League World Series

The Little League World Series is an annual baseball tournament for children (primarily boys) aged 10 to 12 years old, held in the Eastern United States. Originally called the National Little League Tournament, it was later renamed for the World Series in Major League Baseball. The Series was first held in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania; while the postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, the Series itself is played at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport.

Initially, only teams from the United States competed in the Series, but it has since become a worldwide tournament. The tournament has gained popular renown, especially in the United States, where games from the Series and even from regional tournaments are broadcast on ESPN. Teams from the United States have won a plurality of the series, although from 1969 to 1991 teams from Taiwan dominated the series, winning in 15 out of those 23 years. Taiwan's dominance during those years has been attributed to a national effort to combat its perceived diplomatic isolation around the world. From 2010 through 2017, teams from Japan similarly dominated the series, winning five of those matchups.

While the Little League Baseball World Series is frequently referred to as just the Little League World Series, it is actually one of seven World Series tournaments sponsored by Little League International, in different locations. Each of them brings community teams from different Little League International regions around the world together in baseball (four age divisions) and girls' softball (three age divisions). The tournament structure described here is that used for the Little League Baseball World Series. The structure used for the other World Series is similar, but with different regions.

Qualifying tournaments
In the summer months leading up to the Little League World Series, held each year in August, Little Leagues around the world select All-Star teams made up of players from each league. It is these All-Star teams that compete in district, sectional and/or divisional, and regional tournaments, hoping to advance to Williamsport for the Little League World Series. How many games a team has to play varies from region to region. In the United States, the tournaments at the lowest (district) level lack nationwide standardization. Some use pool play or double elimination, while others use single elimination.

In the United States, the fate of district winners varies widely from state to state. In some larger states such as Pennsylvania, New York, and California, the district winners advance to one of many sectional tournaments. The winners of each sectional tournament then advance to a state or divisional tournament, the latter only being held in Texas and California and are similar to the state tournaments held in less populous states. Most smaller states lack competition at the sectional level and go straight from district to state tournaments. A handful of states are composed of only one district, and the district champion is the automatic state champion.

With two exceptions, every state as well as the District of Columbia crowns a state champion, and sends that team to represent it to one of ten regional tournaments. The exceptions involve California and Texas. Because of their large geographic and population sizes, California and Texas send two representatives to their regional tournament; Northern California and Southern California in the West region tournament and Texas East and Texas West (whose areas encompass more than the geographical areas of East Texas and West Texas, splitting roughly along the I-35/I-37 corridor) compete in the Southwest region tournament. Up through 2018, the Dakotas had one district spanning the two states, and its winner became the joint champion when advancing to the Midwest region tournament. However, beginning in 2019, North Dakota and South Dakota are represented by individual teams in the regional tournament — creating an odd number of teams first in the Midwest Regional and then (beginning in 2022) in the Great Lakes Regional.

The state champions (as well as the Northern California, Southern California, Texas East, Texas West, and District of Columbia teams) compete in one of ten different regional tournaments (increasing from 8 in 2022). Each regional tournament winner then advances to the Little League World Series. A comprehensive breakdown of current and historical US regional tournament locations, participants and results is available online. Since the geographical boundaries of the District of Columbia are exactly the same as the capital city of Washington, this District is usually identified specifically as "Washington, DC."

Other countries and regions pick their own way of crowning a champion. Little League Canada holds tournaments at the provincial and divisional level to field six champions (four provincial and two divisional) at the national tournament: Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, the Prairie Provinces (Saskatchewan and Manitoba), and the Atlantic Provinces. The host site of the national tournament varies from year to year, and the host team gets an automatic berth as the seventh team. The tournament is played as a round robin and uses the Page playoff format. The winner of the national tournament earns the right to represent Canada at the Little League World Series.

Regions
Beginning with the 2022 tournament, 10 regional tournament winners compete in the United States bracket of the Little League World Series. The states those regional champions could possibly hail from are as listed below using U.S. state abbreviations. There are 53 total U.S. entrants that compete in the 10 regional tournaments: two from Texas, two from California, one each from the remaining 48 U.S. states, and one from the District of Columbia.

 * Great Lakes (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH)
 * Metro (CT, NJ, NY, RI)
 * Mid-Atlantic (DE, DC, MD, PA)
 * Midwest (IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD, WI)
 * Mountain (CO, MT, NV, UT, WY)
 * New England (ME, MA, NH, VT)
 * Northwest (AK, ID, OR, WA)
 * Southeast (AL, FL, GA, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV)
 * Southwest (AR, LA, MS, NM, OK, TX East, TX West)
 * West (AZ, Northern CA, Southern CA, HI)

There are eight international divisions, which provide 10 teams to the international bracket of the tournament. This is due to Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico receiving automatic bids to the LLWS on a rotating basis—annually, two teams receive a bid while the other plays through its regional tournament (Cuba or Puerto Rico through the Caribbean region; Panama through Latin America region).

 * Asia-Pacific and Middle East
 * Australia
 * Canada
 * Caribbean
 * Europe and Africa
 * Japan
 * Latin America
 * Mexico

The above regions reflect various historical realignments, including those implemented in 2013 and 2022. Historical detail is provided in articles about the individual regions.

Divisions which compete in the United States bracket represent 96% of worldwide players in Little League with over 2.2 million participants, while the divisions in the International bracket represent the remaining 4% (less than 130,000 participants).

World Series tournament format
Currently, the Little League World Series consists of 20 teams: 10 from the United States, and 10 from other countries. The U.S. and international teams play in separate brackets, in a double-elimination format. The winners of each bracket then play each other for the LLWS championship game.

From the inaugural 1947 tournament through 1956, there were predominantly U.S.-based teams, usually eight, competing in a single-elimination format. One Canadian team played in 1952, and one in 1953. Regions were introduced in 1957, and that tournament included the first non-U.S. champion, Monterrey, Mexico, although they represented the U.S. South region. International regions were added in 1958. From 1962 through 2000, the eight teams in the tournament came from four U.S. and four international regions:
 * United States: Central, East, South, West
 * International: Canada, Europe, Far East, Latin America

Through 1975, all teams competed in one bracket. That year, the tournament was held with only the teams from the U.S. regions. The international teams returned in 1976, when two brackets were established, one with U.S. teams, and the other with international teams. The U.S. bracket winner and the international bracket winner would then meet in the championship game, an arrangement that has continued to the present, independent of subsequent changes made to early rounds of the tournament.

In 2001, the number of regions was doubled to 16. The tournament started with eight U.S. teams, randomly assigned into two four-team pools; and eight international teams, also randomly assigned into two four-team pools. Teams competed round-robin within their own pool, with the top two teams of each pool advancing to single-elimination play for a spot in the U.S. final or international final, followed by the U.S champion and international champion meeting in the World Championship game.

In 2010, round-robin play was replaced by a double-elimination bracket in each four-team pool. The winners of each pool advanced to a single-elimination U.S. championship or international championship game, with those winners advancing to the World Championship game. Additionally, each team in the tournament played a minimum of three games, as any team that lost its first two games would play in a consolation U.S. vs. international game.

In 2011, pools were eliminated, with the eight U.S. teams continuing to compete in one bracket and the eight international teams in another bracket. The tournament is double-elimination until the U.S. championship and international championship games, which remain single-elimination, with those winners advancing to the World Championship game. Each team in the tournament still played a minimum of three games, via consolation games as noted above.

In August 2019, organizers announced that the tournament would expand to 20 teams in 2021, by adding two U.S. participants and two international participants. However, the expansion was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a consequence of this expansion, crossover consolations games that had previously been played between 0–2 teams have been eliminated.

Venues
Two venues host World Series games: Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Little League Volunteer Stadium. Lamade Stadium has hosted games since 1959 and added lights in 1992. Volunteer Stadium opened in 2001 when the field expanded to 16 teams. Prior to 1959, the Little League World Series was held at Original Little League on West Fourth Street in Williamsport.

Both fields have symmetrical fences, with a distance of 68.6 m (225 feet) from home plate to each of the outfield positions. That distance had been 62.5 m (205 feet) before 2006.

Admission to all LLWS games is free for all spectators. However, stadium seats for the championship game are distributed in a random drawing of all interested parties due to high demand. Some early round games, mostly games with Pennsylvania teams, will use first-come, first-served admission if a big crowd is to be expected. Lamade Stadium has a berm beyond the fences that has allowed the facility to hold up to 45,000 spectators.

Age requirements
From 1947 to 2005, the age limit for players was set at children who turned 13 on August 1 of that year or later. In 2006, the age limit was loosened to include players who turn 13 after April 30. As the Series takes place in August, this led to many of the players having already turned 13 before the Series started. In 2014 Little League voted to change the age cutoff from April 30 to December 31. However, this caused outrage by parents because the players born between May 1 and August 31, 2005 would have lost their 12-year-old season because they would be considered to be 13 years old even though they have not reached their 13th birthday. Effective November 2015, a new implementation plan was established, which "grandfathered" players born between May 1 and August 31, 2005 as 12-year-olds for the 2018 season, using April 30 age determination date for the 2018 season. Since 2019, a new determination date of August 31 is used, banning 13-year-old players from participating in the Series.

 * 2) Chicago was disqualified and stripped of the U.S. championship in 2014; the U.S. championship was reallocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, which lost the U.S. championship match to Chicago.

Championship notes

 * In November 1974, Little League Baseball banned all non-U.S. teams from the World Series for the event. After considerable criticism, the ban was rescinded prior to the 1976 event.
 * In, the tournament was split into two brackets; one for International teams, and one for teams representing the United States. As a result, a team representing the United States is assured of being in the finals each year.
 * In, Mexicali, Mexico, represented the West Region of the United States in the Little League World Series. Because of its proximity to the El Centro/Calexico area in Southern California, Mexicali competed in and represented California's District 22 in the Southern California division from 1957 to 1985, representing the bordering city of Calexico, California.
 * In, Long Beach was declared a 6–0 winner after the international tournament committee determined that Zamboanga City had used ineligible players that were either not from within its city limits, over age, or both. The championship game was originally won by Zamboanga City, 15–4.
 * From 1997 to 2002, no teams from Taiwan participated in the tournament. In 1997, the Taiwan Baseball Association decided its leagues would no longer charter with Little League, claiming inability to comply with rules enacted in 1992 regarding the maximum size of player pools and number of participating teams in leagues based at schools, and residency requirements, which Little League Baseball had stated it would enforce more strictly, especially after the 1992 incident. From the introduction of Far East teams in 1967 until after 1996, Taiwan had won 17 of a possible 30 championships and had been runner-up twice.
 * Due to complicated relations with the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China—commonly known as Taiwan—is recognized by the name Chinese Taipei by a majority of international organizations, including Little League Baseball. LLWS records and news accounts may use Republic of China, Taiwan, or Chinese Taipei to refer to the same entity.

 * In, a team from Taiwan reached the championship match for the first time since 1996 (see above regarding Taiwan's absence from 1997 to 2002), but lost to a team from Chula Vista, California.
 * In, Chicago defeated Las Vegas for the U.S. championship before losing to Seoul, South Korea, in the LLWS championship. On February 11, 2015, Chicago was stripped of its U.S. title for fielding ineligible players; it was retroactively awarded to Las Vegas.
 * In, River Ridge became the first team since the expansion to 16 teams in 2001, and the second team in tournament history, to win the LLWS after losing their first game of tournament play (the first such team was Maracaibo, Venezuela, winners of the tournament).

Media coverage
The first broadcast of the Little League World Series on television was on ABC Sports (now ESPN on ABC) in 1963. For years, only the championship game was televised. Since the late 1980s, when the tournament was reorganized, both the U.S. and international championships, the "semifinals", have been shown. As the years passed, more telecasts were added on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2. In 2006, 28 of the 36 games were televised on the three networks. In addition, several regional tournament games, which are qualifiers for the LLWS, are televised on ESPN during the days leading up to the LLWS.

The 2006 world championship game was to be the last telecast on ABC Sports before ESPN's complete takeover of the sports division and name change. However, the final was postponed one day because of rain and was shown by ESPN2.

In January 2007, it was announced that ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC had extended their contract with the Little League organization through 2014. That year, every game of the LLWS was scheduled to be televised for the first time, with all but one game live on ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC. (The other game was to be available online at ESPN360, then shown on ESPN2 the next day.) In addition, a number of games were to be shown in high-definition on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC. The championship games in all other divisions, as well as the semifinals and finals of the Little League Softball World Series, was scheduled for either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.

In June 2011, it was announced that ESPN would add 17 games to its schedule on ESPN 3D.

Coverage of the qualifying games has increased substantially in the US within the past decade: as of 2018, all regional group games (with the exception of the Southwest region) are available via subscription online through the ESPN+ platform, with the last three games of each regional tournament on an ESPN network. The aforementioned Southwest regional games are aired in full on the Longhorn Network (itself owned by ESPN). The increased level of participation, competition, and publicity of the Little League World Series in recent years has established a trend in the opposite direction of many other preteen sports.

Most LLWS games are broadcast live on local radio station WRAK 1400AM, which is owned by iHeartMedia. The radio broadcasts are also streamed online at the LLWS page at littleleague.org.

Other divisions in Little League Baseball
After discontinuing their big league divisions in 2017 due to low participation levels over the previous 15 years, seven of the remaining eleven divisions of Little League Baseball has its own World Series format (including three in girls' softball).

Talk:Edwina Currie

She Appointed Paedophile Savile to Role at BroadMoor
Today's article on BBC News ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20019993) says that a Telegraph article reports she appointed the serial paedophile Jimmy Savile to the taskforce at Broadmoor hospital, where he  sexually assaulted detained in-patients. Whether this was linked to her securing contracts with the BBC after being forced to resign from politics isn't clear, but it would undoubtedly be worth including a section on her involvement in this scandal and cover up, particularly since she has been so scathing of others caught up in scandals less horrific than serial child sex abuse (e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9415000/9415640.stm). 212.139.96.62 (talk) 13:28, 21 October 2012 (UTC)UncleHack212.139.96.62 (talk) 13:28, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it's too early yet to say anything yet despite this article. Wikipedia is not a newspaper, as yet Savile is only an alleged pedophile and we must maintain a neutral point of view.  He wouldn't have appointed had anyone known his background. Thatcher who knew him better appears to have lacked any caution. Hopefully we'll soon know but anything we write needs to be fair and in accordance with the requirements of wp:blp.  JRPG (talk) 18:06, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Let Them Eat Charity Handouts
On Radio 5 Live (hosted by Steve Nolan, broadcast 17/10/11), Ms. Currie dismissed 2 of the phone-in guests statements when they mentioned the true level of poverty in the UK: it was suggested by one (a care worker) that many in the UK were having to choose between paying for food or heating their homes. She stated that 'No one in the UK is going without food', an amazing statement given that the Trussel Trust are currently operating 'Food Banks' across the UK (), who state that 'every day, people in the UK are going hungry' on their website, and to whom over 60, 000 people had to turn for help last year alone. Ms. Currie accused people who claimed people were starving as being politically motivated - does anyone know whether the TT have any political affiliations at all? She is clearly out of touch with the realities facing thousands in the UK,but did serve in a Government at some stage in her show business career, and was I believe, a staunch ally of Ian D. Smith (the architect of the recent cuts to state welfare benefits that appear to have made a significant contribution to homelessness and destitution in the UK)- does anyone recall the Government she served in setting up food kitchens to which the unemployed were referred when their benefits were reduced? A link to a newspaper article would be of comparative interest.212.139.96.215 (talk) 12:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)twl212.139.96.215 (talk) 12:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

With an anticipated 1/4 million housing benefit claimants in London no longer able to afford market rents in London alone due to impending cuts to Housing Benefits, I hope she read of the suicides of former soldier Mark Mullins and his disabled wife, reported in the Daily Mail [] who killed themselves after 18 months of struggling to survive on the £57.50 Jobseeker's Allowance payment Mr Mullins, a 48-year-old former Army physical training instructor, was able to claim, having to walk 12 miles to eat free soup at a Salvation Army soup kitchen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.225.21 (talk) 01:52, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

May be worth adding a link to a report by Professor John Hills (BBC: 19/10/2011) who, in an independent report commissioned by the Government, found that food and fuel poverty was responsible for 2,700 deaths in the UK last year. 212.139.102.225 (talk) 14:33, 19 October 2011 (UTC)twl212.139.102.225 (talk) 14:33, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

A Parliamentary Affair
I'm not sure about whether to add that in A Parliamentary Affair the focus is on a female MP with a teenage daughter who has an affair with her whip. By the time of the sequel that whip has become Prime Minister.

I would say no prizes for spotting the parrallels, but I haven't seen this one being raised anywhere else. Timrollpickering 14:20, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

Private Life
I haven't changed it yet, but the para on her private life is very very non-NPOV. Re: her calling Jade Goody et al "slags", yes she did have an affair with John Major, but that's hardly in the same league as going on national television, stripping off and saying "You can see my kebab!" An interesting if somewhat disturbing vision there.... Milvinder 22:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, that's a matter of perspective. Quite a lot of people would take the view that a middle-aged married MP (and a Minister at that) who cheated on and lied to her husband is far more worthy of criticism than some young single bird who got her kit off on the telly. I know some folk have a problem with nudity, but it's hardly in the same league as adultery! 217.155.20.163 23:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Not clear why she suddenly decided to reveal all. Was it because Major failed to acknowledge her, as with Monica Lewinsky? Valetude (talk) 12:43, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Edwina Currie's take on this article
"It says I went to the upmarket Belvedere School alongside Derek Hatton - a bit difficult, that, since it was an all-girls school and I actually attended a State grammar school, the Liverpool Institute High School for Girls. It's wrong on other basics, such as the date I married my second husband, John Jones. [...] I blew steam, however, at the complete misrepresentation of the events surrounding the salmonella scare of 1988, which led to my resignation. [...] My appearance on TV's Hell's Kitchen was apparently 'somewhat overshadowed by rumours that she was having a transatlantic affair with actress Charlie Jubb'. Who? Never heard of her, never met her, as far as I know. I don't even think she exists. [...] So don't take this 'encyclopedia' seriously. It's less accurate than most gossip columns. If you need any information about me, go to edwina.currie.co.uk - what's there is the truth, as I wrote it myself. WAS 4.250 00:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Edwina doesn't like her article. That's no reason to stubify it. Remove any identified inaccuracies, sure, and tag unreferenced if you must. Rich Farmbrough, 10:07 11 March 2007 (GMT).

 * Interestingly Edwina Currie's website states "Edwina Currie was born in Liverpool, UK in 1946 and went to the same school as Beatles George Harrison and Sir Paul McCartney. " They attended "the Liverpool Institute for Boys" as did Derek Hatton.  Edwina attended Liverpool Institute High School for Girls. Sorry she can't have it both ways in this matter. Rich Farmbrough, 10:35 11  March 2007 (GMT).

 * It's not wrong to describe the Liverpool Institute for Boys as the same school as the Liverpool Institue High School for Girls. Nssdfdsfds 01:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

EC appeared on Have I Got News For You (Season 6, Episode 1 -- it's on YouTube) as Paul's guest with Derek Hatton as Ian's guest. I quote: "Derek and I were at school together."Cross Reference (talk) 14:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Salmonella
"after continually reiterating that a majority of British eggs were infected with salmonella her position came into jeopardy. The amount of eggs infected by salmonella was actually a minority, so when Margaret Thatcher stated "I had eggs for breakfast", this forced Currie's resignation. " Removed the above as unsourced. I'm sure we all have memories of this era, but let's get some sources, folks. Rich Farmbrough, 10:16 11 March 2007 (GMT).

Removed

Wording: Tabled amendment on legal age for homosexual sex
The wording here is quite confusing. The UK and American meaning of "tabling" is quite different. In UK, it means put up for active consideration, I gather. In America, the meaning is more like removed from active consideration. I do not know the actual facts, but I assume the former meaning is intended.

Can someone that knows, fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.135.10 (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

"Discography"
Is this section really necessary? It gives off the impression that she's some kind of musical artist, which she isn't; I don't think releasing a charity-single is really a reason for this stupid title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.33.230.34 (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Affair With John Major
Is the last sentence in that section (referring to Major's "Back to Basics" campaign) relevant to the subject of this article and to the account of the affair, without anything linking her to it? The campaign was a number of years after her affair with him, unrevealed until after his Premiership, ceased. Unless something can be produced that links her to this - say, cited reference to views she had on it, or anyone publicly commenting to link the campaign with the affair? - I would suggest it be deleted.Cloptonson (talk) 21:48, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Concerns over the writing of the 'Parliamentary Career' section
Not an experienced Wikipedian, but this section seems written rather unprofessionally written, particularly the following:

 * In September 1986, she became a Junior Health Minister. Among her comments over the next two years were—despite her not being religious—that "good Christian people" don't get AIDS,[4] that old people who couldn't afford their heating bills should wrap up warm in winter and that northerners die of "ignorance and chips."

I feel like the inclusion of this needs to be justified and set into context, and really there should be something about her actual time as a minister if this sort of thing is going to be included as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8642:0:DCBA:78EF:25CF:380A (talk) 05:00, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Television
Bridges appeared on The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, "The Love Boat" Season 2 Episode 5, and the landmark miniseries Roots. He was a regular on the Barney Miller spinoff Fish. It was playing Willis Jackson on the NBC/ABC sitcom Diff'rent Strokes that made him a household name, along with those of fellow co-stars Conrad Bain, Charlotte Rae, Dana Plato, and Gary Coleman. With Rae's death in 2018, Bridges became the last surviving original cast member.

Bridges appeared in the 2002 special Celebrity Boxing with friend Vanilla Ice, whom he defeated. In 2006, Bridges appeared as a contestant on a celebrity episode of Fear Factor but was eliminated after the first stunt. Also in 2006, he appeared as a contestant on the Fox reality show Skating with Celebrities but was eliminated in the second episode of the show because he was using roller skates instead of ice skates.

He and his wife Dori Bridges appeared in the November 14, 2007 episode of the MyNetworkTV show Decision House titled "Burned Bridges."

That October, he debuted as a contestant on Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling on CMT as a member of Team Beefcake (coached by former wrestler Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake).

The judges praised him for his athleticism and his cunning while defeating Harding. After reaching the finals along with Butterbean and Dustin Diamond, Bridges was defeated by Dennis Rodman. In 2015, Bridges was the host of a live game show titled Lovers or Losers: The Game Show at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

In 1998, Bridges and his brother James saved the life of Stella Kline, a 51-year-old paraplegic woman who nearly drowned when her wheelchair rolled into a lake while she was fishing. Kline said: "I was thanking God that he was there and you know, everybody's been saying nothing but bad stuff about Todd Bridges on the news and in the papers... He has a heart of gold." Bridges remarked: "We felt God put us there at the right time to save this lady's life, because there was no one else around."

In a 2010 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Bridges said that he was sexually abused at age 11 by a publicist who was also a family friend.

On September 25, 2022, he married designer Bettijo Hirschi.

Legal and criminal problems
Bridges started smoking marijuana as a 15-year-old star on Diff'rent Strokes. In his twenties, Bridges battled a crack cocaine and methamphetamine addiction. He bought and sold drugs to support his addiction. Bridges was arrested for felony assault and cocaine possession.

In 1983, Bridges was fined $240 for carrying a concealed firearm. In 1987, he received a suspended sentence after pleading no contest when charged with making a bomb threat.

In 1989, Bridges was arrested and tried for the attempted murder of Kenneth "Tex" Clay, a Los Angeles-area drug dealer who prosecutors argued had been shot by Bridges. Bridges pleaded not guilty and was represented by the famous defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, who argued that Bridges was an abused minor who had been driven to drugs by an exploitative entertainment industry and was now being framed. A witness finally testified that Bridges was not present at the shooting, and Bridges was acquitted of all charges by a jury.

Bridges was arrested on December 29, 1992, on suspicion of transporting narcotics for sale and possession of a loaded firearm after Burbank, California police officers discovered methamphetamines and a loaded gun in his car. He was released on $10,000 bail. Bridges stopped using drugs on February 24, 1993, after years of use.

Memoir
Bridges wrote a book, Killing Willis: From Diff'rent Strokes to the Mean Streets to the Life I Always Wanted (2008), discussing his childhood sexual abuse, drug addiction, criminal charges and efforts to establish a public identity independent of the Willis character. He appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 28, 2010 to discuss the troubled past that he had chronicled in his memoir.
