Its streak of 17 consecutive indoor track state championships ended last year. All season, Bishop Hendricken focused on getting it back.
On Saturday, the Hawks delivered.
Thanks to solid performances in key events and a huge day from sophomore Lee Moses, Hendricken surged past a strong Classical team to recapture the state title at the Providence Career & Technical Academy. The Hawks tallied 75 points to out-pace the hard-charging Purple, who finished with 65.
"From day one, when indoor started, the goal for the whole team – for the distance runners, sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers, throwers – was to get that team title back," said Hendricken assistant coach Dan Brennan. "For these guys to put it all together on the same day and have all of them do well is awesome."
Pilgrim junior Becca O'Donnell led the way for Warwick schools on the girls' side with a first-place finish in the long jump. Destinee Barrette added a pair of medals in the weight throw and the shot, helping power Pilgrim to sixth place, its best showing at states since 1997. Classical and La Salle tied for the girls' title, becoming the first co-champions in the history of the indoor track state meet.
For Hendricken, the day got off to a good start. The 4x800 relay team of Alex Doherty, Jared Boulanger, Tom Grizzetti and Avery Ingegneri – a group without much experience – out-did its seeding time by more than two seconds to finish third.
"They set the tone," Brennan said.
But the Hawks still had a lot of work to do. They didn't score in either of the weight events, which put added pressure on their runners. And Classical would go on to get big points from standout Derek Jackson, who won the 55-meter dash and the 300, and from three hurdlers who piled up 22 points.
"We lost it last year and honestly, it didn't look like we were going to be able to pull it out this year," said Hendricken head coach Jim Doyle. "Dan and I sat down figuring out points, and we thought maybe the most 59 points. We knew we would have to have an outstanding meet to get to 70 points and that's what it would take to beat Classical. Classical was superb. They had a great meet. We had to be just as good."
The Hawks were.
On the track, they turned in their biggest performance in the 3,000, where Colin Tierney took second, Connor Doyle placed third and Tyler Henseler took fifth. That was good for 16 points.
"We loaded the 3,000," Jim Doyle said. "We decided to go real early and try to build the lead. Those guys came up big for us."
In the 4x200, the Hawks were seeded first and the took care of business, with Moses, Alex Perreault, Power Kanga and John Cute teaming up for first place.
Perreault added a second-place finish in the 300, Connor Doyle took fourth in the 1,500, Ben Murphy picked up big points with a fourth-place finish in the high jump, Power Kanga finished fourth in the 55 and Marcus Swift took sixth in the 600.
Then there was Moses.
After running anchor on the winning 4x200 team, Moses grabbed third in the 55. With Hendricken leading by five going into the 4x400 relay – the final track event – Moses ran anchor again and teamed with Perreault, Romario Rousseau and Matt Lombardi to finish third.
But the biggest moment for Moses had already happened, without many people noticing. The long jump hadn't been scored yet because a few competitors still needed to finish up. Moses, who had jumped 22-02.25, was the last man standing when all was said and done. The first-place finish gave the Hawks 10 more points, which ended up being their final cushion.
"Lee was unbelievable," Doyle said. "For a sophomore to be able to put on a performance like that was incredible."
Moses had come up big for the Hawks earlier in the week in the class championship. On a bigger stage, he came through again. He was responsible for 16 points by himself and 32 with the relays factored in.
"Me being a sophomore, one of the youngest kids on the team, the seniors just push me to do my best every day," Moses said. "It means a lot for me to help them win. They deserve it."
Perreault also had a huge day for the Hawks, with the second place in the 300 and two strong relay performances.
All in all, the Hawks were back where they wanted to be.
"We wanted it really bad this year," Moses said. "We just pushed each other and we were on each other all the time. It feels great."
Pilgrim's Steve Croft was the top performer among Warwick public school boys. He grabbed third in the 300 and fifth in the 55, while teaming with Derek Daluz, Christian White and Brandon Paiva to get a sixth-place medal in the 4x200 relay. Teammate Dylan Gardner was just outside the medals in the weight throw, finishing seventh. The Pats totaled nine points for 15th place.
Toll Gate was led by Henry Smithers, who took fifth in the 1,000. The Titans finished 21st overall. Warwick Vets did not score at the meet, but did have several qualifiers. John Nordin took 15th in the 300 and was 21st in the preliminaries of the 55. Jeremy Morrissette added a 16th in the 600.
O'Donnell leads big day for Pilgrim girls
O'Donnell has had success on the big stage before. As a sophomore last year, the Pilgrim standout took fourth in the long jump at indoor states and followed that up with a fifth at the outdoor state meet.
Based on that experience, she had reason to be hopeful.
Based on this year, she had reason to be confident, too.
"I felt like I was right where I needed to be at exactly the right time," she said.
She was right.
O'Donnell's jump of 17-10.00 in the finals was the best of the day. Prout standout Karly Gregory, last year's outdoor state champion, was second with a jump of 17-07.50. Cassie Roberge of Mount St. Charles, the top seed, took third with a best of 17-07.00.
"I was hoping for first," O'Donnell said.
Before the long jump finals, O'Donnell had to run the preliminaries of the 55-meter dash. She finished 12th there and had to hustle back to the long jump.
But she wasn't complaining.
"I think doing the dash before actually helped me," she said. "I needed to just get my nerves out and clear my mind."
And it worked. O'Donnell is Pilgrim's first indoor track state champion in several years.
"It's unbelievable," she said.
O'Donnell's performance was part of an impressive showing for the Patriots, who placed sixth with 17 points. The Pats had finished seventh last year, but hadn't gotten to sixth since 1997.
Barrette also had a strong showing, taking fifth in the weight throw and sixth in the shot put. Sophomore Melanie Brunelle added a fourth-place finish in the high jump and she was just out of the medals in the long jump, where she took seventh.
Toll Gate finished 25th in the girls' meet, with Erika Pena leading the charge. The sophomore took sixth in the hurdles and finished in a tie for sixth in the high jump. The Titans' 4x800 relay team of Jess Cawley, Nora Hall, Katherine Lavallee and Elena Chace was one spot away from a medal, with a seventh-place finish.

You made all this possible in 2012!
2012 was a great year! So we're taking this opportunity to look back at some of the incredible accomplishments that people like YOU made possible:
1) We surpassed $380 million in loans to over 940,000 borrowers in more than 60 countries worldwide, all while maintaining a 99% repayment rate. This is no easy feat, and has required a lot of patience, understanding and feedback from our lender community. This achievement is truly yours.
2) We launched in India! This was a long-standing dream for us as an organization, and it finally happened in August. And we nailed it. By partnering with three remarkable organizations -- People's Forum, Mahashakti and WSDS -- we are reaching India's poorest and most vulnerable communities. We're also pleased to report than hundreds of you funded loans to India despite complex regulations and a 3-year waiting period for repayments. You rock! And we can't wait to see what Kiva funding makes possible in India in 2013.
3) We started focusing on cause areas. Starting last year, lenders can now make loans to support higher education, clean energy, fresh drinking water, improved sanitation, the disabled, quality health care, fair trade goods and more. That's the beauty of microfinance. It's not just about local economies -- it touches so many more issues that impact people's lives.
4) Kiva Zip continued to grow, providing over $380,000 in loans to borrowers in the U.S. and Kenya through a network of Trustees. When you lend on Kiva Zip, you can message back and forth with the borrowers to see how things are going. Learn more at zip.kiva.org.
We founded Kiva so that everyone in the world could become a part of the fight against poverty. And we hope you'll join us in 2013 to do even more for borrowers around the world this year!
Want to get more involved with Kiva?
Join a lending team. Lend with a community of people who share your interests, and talk about the loans you see on the website.
Invite a friend. Introduce someone in your life to Kiva so that they'll have the opportunity to change the world too. It's always more fun to lend together!
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Ask questions, share thoughts and see some of the best stories and photos we collect from the field.
Apply to be a Kiva intern or a Kiva fellow. Work at our headquarters in San Francisco or venture into the field to meet borrowers, gain field experience and do good.
Make a donation. Kiva relies on generous donations to keep the lights on and reach more borrowers. Every $1 donated makes $8 in loans possible around the world. Now that's a good deal.
We're so grateful for everything you do to support us and microfinance. We'd also love to hear from you about what you'd like to see on Kiva and any other ideas you may have. Send them our way at email@example.com.
Happy New Year!

A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Big Customer Network
I started this business because I love the connective impact of the web, and I want to make it easier for companies and their ad agencies or marketing departments to help customers find them. The last internet business I started developed a worldwide recurring revenue customer base almost entirely by targeting various special interest websites.
Marketing and ad execs who want to deliver more customers to their clients via targeted website channels--and generic or special interest domain names. A popular logical semantic domain name heading a site with solid related content will be searched for and found by the best convertible customer leads.We use science and logic to create compelling niche web sites and make them available for lease, sale and advertising. We help businesses get customers who share their special interests.
Deliverables are illustrator, jpeg and psd versions of the logo and variations.
We want the logo to communicate that we use logic and science to create popular niche websites that come up top in search results due to such precise targeting and related content. We think that even the most narrow niche can reach thousands of customers if the domain name is right and the content relevant. Generic search attraction solves the problem that brand names do not make great domain names.

In the first week of September, Shane Salerno and David Shields' massive biography "Salinger" will go on sale, and before the week is out, the documentary "Salinger," written and directed by Salerno, will open in more than 200 theaters. When it comes to documentaries, that's huge -- it's being positioned to be an art-house blockbuster.
So the teasers are coming. An exclusive USA Today preview Wednesday showcased a never-before-seen photograph of Salinger in uniform with three counterintelligence buddies after the invasion of Normandy.
Salinger "traveled the world and had long-term friendships and relationships," Salerno tells USA Today. That is, before he became a legendary literary recluse.
Salinger passed away in 2010 at age 91, and afterward, "the floodgates kind of opened" for Salerno. "People had great stories about him, but they never wanted to disappoint him while he was alive."
Expect more tempting trickles about "Salinger" before the book goes on sale Sept. 3 and the movie opens in theaters Sept. 6.

Release Details
October is Children's Health Month and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the White House and other federal agencies are urging parents and caregivers to ""Discover the Rewards"" of protecting children's health.
To mark Children's Health Month, CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton invited a video camera inside his home near Washington, as he and his family safety-checked their house from hidden hazards. The Stratton home needed smoke alarms, cabinet locks and arc fault circuit interrupters...just like any home.
"A few simple steps can help reduce the risk of death and injury from consumer products around the home," said Stratton.
A Children's Health Month calendar highlights each day in October by alerting caregivers to a different hazard with a corresponding remedy or safety tip. The CPSC has provided safety tips to reduce head injuries, and prevent poisoning, strangulation, drowning, and suffocation hazards to children. The Stratton video is being broadcast via satellite to TV stations nationwide.
"Children's Health Month provides a wonderful opportunity for CPSC to spread the message to parents and caregivers about the importance of providing a safe environment for young children," said Stratton.
From the kitchen to the basement, Mr. Stratton is seen on the video eliminating hidden hazards from his home, such as water standing in large buckets. He's also shown cutting loops in window-blind cords.
Each year, more than 100 children drown in buckets, toilets, bathtubs and other sources of standing water in the home. Since 1980, CPSC has received reports of more than 200 children who have strangled in window-blind cords.
Here are some simple, low-cost product safety tips to protect children:
1. Never leave standing liquids unattended. Stay within arm's reach while your child is bathing or near any container of water. If the phone rings, let it ring; stay with your child.
2. Prevent tap water scalds by adjusting the temperature on your hot water heater to 120º F.
3. Keep medicines and hazardous household chemicals locked up and out of sight. Use child-resistant packaging for medicines and hazardous household chemicals, and call 1-800-222-1222 if a poisoning occurs.
4. Cut the loops on window-blind cords and call 1-800-506-4636 for a free repair kit.
5.Make sure your hairdryer has a large rectangular plug. The immersion protection device prevents electrocution if the hairdryer is dropped in water.
6. Change the battery in your smoke alarm when you change your clock's setting in October.
7. Have a professional check your furnace for carbon monoxide leaks and your chimney for blockages; put a CO alarm in the hallway near every separate sleeping area.
8. Prevent electrocutions by installing a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in your household outlets.
9. Installing Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) can prevent electrical fires. AFCIs can sense electrical arc and trip the circuit.
10. Babies on adult beds risk suffocation from hidden hazards such as entrapment between the bed and wall; entrapment involving the bed frame, headboard and footboard; or soft bedding such as pillows or thick quilts and comforters.
For more potentially life-saving tips, consumers may download the Children's Health Month: Discover the Rewards Calendar (it is in pdf format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). Consumers may also visit the Children's Health Month web site at www.childrenshealth.gov to view this calendar and links associated with each day's suggested activity, and a compilation of fact sheets containing information on children's health issues from other participating agencies. Another useful link is www.healthierus.gov
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

March 5, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Two days after having its 11-match winning streak snapped, the MIT men's volleyball team bounced back by upsetting nationally-ranked No. 10 Newbury College, 30-28, 23-30, 30-25, 30-27, in a North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) New England Division battle on Thursday. The victory lifted the Engineers' ledger to 17-10 on the year and 10-4 in conference play while the Nighthawks' record dipped to 17-6 overall and 6-3 in New England Division action.
The early stages of the opening game were closely played as a kill by Mark Thomas brought Newbury within one point for the sixth time, the last at 11-10. MIT responded with a 10-5 spurt to gain some breathing room, but five straight points by the Nighthawks narrowed the gap to one (21-20). After exchanging several points, the Engineers picked up three out of the next four to extend their lead to 27-23. Following its own timeout, Newbury captured the next three points, the last on a strike by James Beck. A timeout by the Engineers helped stop the late rally as each side traded points to close out the set.
In the second stanza, the Nighthawks raced out to a 17-9 advantage. Behind strong serving by Michael Demyttenaere, the Cardinal and Gray narrowed the gap to three (17-14). Newbury used a timeout to end the run before both squads exchanged points, maintaining the slim margin. Fueled by miscues from the Engineers, the Nighthawks registered an 8-3 run that extended their lead to 27-19. MIT extended the frame by scoring four out of the next five points, however, a kill from Danny Kim and a hitting error gave the visitors the win.
Newbury carried the momentum into the third game as it gradually established an 11-7 edge. The Engineers responded by scoring six out of the next seven points, including three straight by Garrett Winther, to capture a 13-12 lead. Following six ties, the Nighthawks inched out to a 20-18 lead, capitalizing on a kill by Bryan McDermand and a hitting error. The Engineers battled back, mounting a 12-5 run to close out the set.
The final frame featured four ties and three lead changes until Newbury built an 18-14 advantage. MIT slowly chipped away at the deficit, as a block by Winther and Demyttenaere evened the contest at 21. The Engineers extended the run which resulted in a 27-23 lead. Coming out of their own timeout, the Nighthawks tallied four out of the next five points as a strike by McDermand narrowed the gap to one (28-27). The Cardinal and Gray responded by using its final timeout in an attempt to stop Newbury's momentum. The move proved to be successful as a kill by Scott Pollom set up match point before a hitting miscue sealed the victory.
Eric Reuland had a solid outing for the Engineers, finishing with 17 kills, 14 digs, two blocks, and two aces. Demyttenaere, Pollom, and Winther each finished with 13 kills as Demyttenaere added four blocks. Eugene Jang collected eight digs while Jeremy Velazquez posted seven digs. Tim Lee dished out 52 assists for MIT.
Thomas compiled a match-high 24 kills to go along with five blocks for the Nighthawks. McDermand registered 12 kills and 11 digs as Josh Aberly posted 13 digs and seven blocks. Michael Biuso amassed 23 digs while Matt Talamante distributed 51 assists.
Next up for the Engineers will be their own MIT Invitational slated for this weekend. Newbury will spend next week on the West Coast squaring off with Hope International University, California Baptist University, and Long Beach City College.

When FDNY firefighter Randy Regan set off for work last Tuesday morning, March 20, it was just the start of another regular day.
The Irish American left his Upper West Side home around 7 a.m. and began his six-mile cycle down to Ladder 20 in SoHo.
"It's a nice route along the river," Regan, 45, told the Irish Voice.
But cycling down by the Hudson, close to West 82nd Street, the father of two noticed something drifting downstream.
"You always see stuff floating, but I spotted something a little bigger and then I noticed it was a woman," he said.
"She didn't really seem distressed, she was more disorientated."
When Regan called out to the lady she didn't respond. With over 20-years experience in saving lives he carefully summed up his options. Meanwhile, two female bystanders called the emergency services.
"A couple of things crossed my mind -- there was a fence and rock wall I needed to climb down over, plus the water temperature," said Regan.
As he took off his shirt and plunged into the Hudson waters, he says the 48-degree water took his breath away.
"I had never been in water that cold without a wetsuit," Regan said.
Regan swam the 30 feet out to the victim, talking to her the whole time.
"I just kept talking to her. Once I reached her she let go of the log and gave me her hand and I swam her in," he said.
Once back at the water's edge, a few men helped Regan pull the woman to safety.
"At that point there were no emergency services. She was shivering, so we carried her down to the Boat Basin office where there was heating."
As the emergency services arrived, an unfazed Regan set off on the last leg of his commute to work and made it to his firehouse 40 minutes early for his 9 a.m. shift.
"The police officer wanted a statement. I gave him my phone number and told him to give me call. I showed up at the firehouse soaking wet," Regan recalls.
Flanked by his fellow FDNY co-workers at a press conference later that day, Regan said there was nothing extraordinary about his rescue.
"It didn't seem like that big of a deal," he said.
Regan's father Jack Regan is a past president of the Irish American Association of Northwest Jersey who teaches set dancing at their clubhouse in Rockaway.

Steelers quarterback Roethlisberger likes the revamped offense
Ben Roethlisberger didn't entirely like the offense, its nuances and terminology. Neither did some of the assistant coaches. Most of all, Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley didn't totally like it, either.
So, after the Steelers tumbled into the bottom third of the NFL in offensive production last season, Haley went about reworking the system he brought with him to Pittsburgh following nearly three seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs' head coach.
The Steelers officially began practicing that reworked offense as they went through the first of 13 team practices Tuesday, and Roethlisberger said everyone involved likes this package better.
The quarterback did not disclose the changes or even hint at them —"You'll have to wait until the first game," he said — but it was obvious he seemed more comfortable with the offense than he did at any time last season.
"There's been some changes this offseason in some of the offensive philosophies, playbook and some things that I think are good," Roethlisberger said as he began his 10th season with the team. "It's some compromise from all the different position coaches, the running back coaches, the line, and quarterback coaches. I think we've taken a little bit of everything and made it a lot better."
He added, "You can ask anybody on offense that, including coaches, and they'll tell you that we all like the way the offense is and where it's going."
The Steelers did not permit their assistant coaches to talk to the media Tuesday, so Haley was not available to detail alterations that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders believes were necessary after the Steelers tumbled to 21st in total offense last season. They were 12th in 2011, 14th in 2010 and seventh in 2009, all under former coordinator Bruce Arians, last season's NFL Coach of the Year.
"Last year, coach Haley was in his first year bringing his system here and it was our first year in his system. We were off a little bit and it was obvious on the football field," Sanders said. "This year, we're working hard to not allow that to happen again so that we can score points."
There was considerable speculation at the start of last season how well Roethlisberger would work together with Haley, who was seen as more of a taskmaster and potentially more abrasive than Arians, who was close friends with the quarterback.
While there was no public feuding or finger-pointing, Roethlisberger was critical of the offense following an overtime loss to the Cowboys on Dec. 16 that ultimately cost the Steelers any chance of making the playoffs. Roethlisberger subsequently apologized.
On Tuesday, it was Roethlisberger who disclosed the offensive changes. "(Running backs coach) Kirby (Wilson) and Randy (Fichtner, the quarterbacks coach) and guys really wanted to contribute and get some points and some things across that they felt could help this team. We all did," he said. "It was nothing about, 'Let's change this offense.' It was about, 'How can we get better?' We're making strides to be better."
Did Roethlisberger specifically request any of the offense be reworked?
"There were some things," he said, laughing, without offering any further explanation.
That offense will have a different look now that Sanders has replaced wide receiver Mike Wallace, who signed with the Dolphins, and second-round pick Le'Veon Bell will push Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman to start at running back. And either Mike Adams or Marcus Gilbert will slide over from right tackle to the left side to replace Max Starks.
"Obviously, we're going to miss Mike as a person, friend and teammate," Roethlisberger said. "(But) we've got to be ready to move on."

I walk into my foyer and become weak in the knees with the scene before me. My no breed, brindle coated dog is barking in a high-pitched frenzy while turning frantically in dizzy circles. Poor Coco, too, is obviously disoriented and upset with the mess and the musty, wild-like smell that has taken over the usual order of the entry way.
There are at least six battered, medium and small, plastic bins with blue tops randomly stacked on the mail table. Dilapidated and torn brown boxes are scattered on the floor. One has been knocked over and damp towels and used toiletry items tumble recklessly from it.
Parts and cords to electronic equipment snake through piles of dirty clothes that have been carelessly dumped on the oriental rug. Thick books, battered and torn from their spines, teeter on the foyer chair. Sport jerseys and rackets lean ransacked on the stair steps leading upstairs. The foyer's oak wood floor is only visible in small glimpses and there is barely a place for me to step safely.
"Hello?" I venture in a weak and anxious voice.
"Hey, Mom! Where ya' been?"
It is confirmed. My son is home from college.
The adjustment challenge begins. Lord give me strength and a shot of whiskey.
I reach up to receive a scratchy-chinned hug from my 6 foot 4 inch, lean and blond, all-American teenage boy (they are relentlessly and everlastingly our "boys," right?) Then I calmly but authoritatively ask various questions out loud to him in an earnest tone, without sarcasm, I hope.
In my head, I thought it out differently: Why does my astute and well-educated (at least expensively educated, according to the tuition bills) think his dorm room belongs in my foyer? In the few months away from home, has he forgotten where his own room is?
Perhaps I should have left a trail of breadcrumbs so he could find his way, although a trail of beer cans would surely be more effective. And who might he think would be carrying this wreck-of-a-mess up the stairs to his room? Our home is fresh out of butlers.
"Ha. Ha." he chuckles while flashing his "Who loves you more than me?" wide and playful grin.
Ha? Does he think I'm a comedian and not the stern "and I don't mean maybe" mother that I think I am? Does he think I'm kidding? Or is this situation going to turn into another familiar but exhausting "you're-not-the-boss-of me" struggle that we have been two-stepping together practically since his birth – twenty long years ago?
I clearly remember one such battle of the wills when he was six. We had gone to the shore and I was pretending as hard as I could to be spending a relaxing day with my little darling. After wave riding and sand castle creating, he needed a new challenge. He stood up, wiped sand off his scabby knees and then boldly announced that he could and would swim across the ocean. I chuckled and went back to my book while he got a substantial head start. Lord knows my aging, forty-year old body was no competition for his six-year-old determination. It was eight years and past his puberty before we were allowed anywhere near the Avalon beach lifeguard station.
And what about all these dirty clothes? Does he somehow think it is my job to wash them?
I take a deep breath. "I am going to explain the lay of the land one more time, my dear son," I begin. " My work here is done. This house is simply a way station on your journey to full independence," I explain once again. "You may come in and out as your academic or work schedule dictates, but we are not a full service establishment here with maid service and the American eating plan menu. You must take care of yourself and contribute to the household chores."
He thinks this speech is hilarious, too, and he chuckles again as he continues to text.
With surprising maturity, I remember to give my son a little slack. Last year he had a full time summer job and he worked hard, I hear. Unfortunately, work is not something I have seen from him on the home front.
Hmm. Adjustment time again. Hmm. I quickly conclude that I am simply a convenient accessory to my son's existence and it will be difficult to win with head-to-head combat. I decide to wage a defensive battle: I exit the foyer empty handed. I remember his bed has no sheets and the washer and dryer lay silent. I go to the kitchen and check that the oven is cool and then I switch off the kitchen lights.
Mom is going on vacation. It is my only choice.

Eric Nakamura from Giant Robot just sent us these photos from the opening day/night of their Biennale celebration at The Japanese American National Museum (complete with the hotel room after-party). Like we said when we posted about it, 'wish we were there'. The show sounded amazing complete with live music and performances..
(All the captions are taken from Eric's blog.)
Giant Robot Biennale (50 Issues)
With work from: APAK, Gary Baseman, David Choe, Seonna Hong, Sashie Masakatsu,
Saelee Oh, Pryor Praczukowski, Souther Salazar, Eishi Takaoka, Adrian Tomine
Runs: Nov 3, 2007 - Jan 13, 2008
@ The Japanese American National Museum
'The story is is that David said he was going to put a few throwing stars in one area, but somewhere around 3pm on the day of the opening, he threw 50 into the wall. These are sharp! So what happened? See the bottom right? They had to add the white platforms, and set them up at the last minute which meant, paint, label, and set up so no one would get injured. Imagine leaning, or even getting bumped into a star? On the positive note, it made the mural look great.'
A little Pre-opening walk-through..
'A line up! Believe it or not, by the end of the evening 2700 came though. That's a hefty art opening, and might even be a record at the museum. I saw a lot of new, old, and familiar faces. After a solid week of being there a lot, and making sure everything was running alright, it was a great payoff. I expected a lot less, and frankly was surprised at the high number. Imagine, there was a line to get into the gallery where the art show was at, and being inside and using the back ways to get from one place to the next, I never really saw the line until much later. The galleries only allow 150 people at a time. Come and check it out later on.'
People are allowed to get close and shoot pics. They don't normally allow pics, but not at this show, you're allowed to shoot pics and hopefully get inspired by them.

Spiced duck with ginger glaze
Spiced duck with ginger glaze Prep: 45 minutes Cook: 1 1/2 hours Servings: 6 (8 pieces) Note: Ask your butcher to cut up the ducks if you prefer; indicate that you want two boneless breast halves, two whole legs and the carcass for making broth. Ingredients: 2 whole ducks, each about 6 pounds, rinsed Poultry spice rub, see recipe below Ginger glazing sauce, heated, see below Fresh parsley sprigs 1. Rinse ducks; pat dry. Remove duck breasts by cutting down the breast bone with a very sharp knife and working the knife along the carcass to free the breast. Repeat to remove the breast on the other side. Use the knife to remove the legs at the joint. Save the carcasses to make broth. 2. Lightly coat the duck breasts and the legs with the spice rub, about 1 tablespoon per duck. Place on a rack set in a baking pan. Refrigerate covered, 1 hour or up to 24 hours. 3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Set duck breasts aside. Roast the legs on the rack in the baking pan until the juices run clear, 1-1 1/4 hours. Let rest covered with foil while you cook the breasts. 4. Increase oven temperature to 400. Heat a large, well-seasoned cast-iron skillet (or two smaller skillets) over medium-low heat until hot. Add the breasts, skin side down, in a single, uncrowded layer. Cook over low without turning until skin is crisped and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Flip breasts skin side up; place in oven. Cook until medium rare (breast will be nearly firm at edges but still soft when pressed in the center), 10-12 minutes. 5. To serve, thinly slice the duck breasts. Some guests get a leg and a few slices of the duck breast, while others get all breast. Serve with the ginger sauce; garnish with parsley. Read the Good Eating story

The Genea-Angel Award
I've noticed that many blogs carry a variety of awards and recognitions, so I thought it might be fun to provide a Genea-Angel award. It's a simple way of paying it forward - to recognize those people who have aided in your research, provided insight or otherwise given you inspiration and guidance in your family history journey. The recipient of the Genea-Angel award may display the image on their blog or web site if they choose.
It's easy to recognize someone. You can use the Genea-Angel image in this post and use it in your blog or on your web site and share information about how your Genea-Angel helped you in your quest.
I wrote about my experience with one of my Genea-Angels a few weeks ago when Barbara Poole graciously obtained copies of pages of a family history book that had eluded me. So I thought it might be fun to pay it forward so others could recognize their Genea-Angels.
I look forward to reading about everyone else's Genea-Angels - I know there are a lot of them out there!

Three NSW police officers acted appropriately when they gunned down a "gentle" and much-loved man as he sat in traffic, a coroner has found.
Rodney Elkass died when he was shot in the head near Castle Hill police station on September 29 last year, after the 37-year-old raised a Glock 17 towards three plain-clothes detectives who rushed towards his ute with weapons drawn, an inquest into his death has concluded.
Deputy State Coroner Hugh Dillon said Mr Elkass's death was a "tragedy", rather than a result of police misconduct.
His death stemmed from a fist-fight with a workmate more than a decade earlier.
Mr Elkass had a chance encounter with that man and his brother on the afternoon he died, and the brothers - known as A and B - appeared bent on revenge, Mr Dillon told Parramatta Coroners Court on Thursday.
"If we trace the sequence of events backwards there are various things that, if they had been different or even slightly different, we might have averted this tragedy," he said.
"This is certainly a garden of many, many forking paths."
Two plain-clothes detectives who fired at Mr Elkass, Senior Constables Michael Wilkins and Paul Gardiner, have told the inquest they feared Mr Elkass was about to shoot a third officer, Senior Constable Paul Rosano.
Mr Dillon found Mr Elkass was a good man with great respect for police who probably never intended to shoot anyone, and would not have raised his gun at the officers had he known they were on-duty police and not associates of A and B.
He said the officers had failed to properly identify themselves as police, though the two are adamant they did.
"Once Rodney Elkass picked up his gun and pointed it towards Detective Rosano, I think that really closed any other option," Mr Dillon said.
"(The officers') action was instantaneous, but reasonable," he said.
The coroner recommended the NSW Police Force consider trialling cameras affixed to police guns and make visual identifiers like vests available to plain-clothes police.
The coroner also recommended that NSW gun laws be tightened to force shooting club members to store their firearms on club premises, and that a fact sheet about police authority to seize firearms be re-worded.
Mr Elkass - a gun club member - had failed a firearm inspection on his Glock just months before he pointed it at police, and it should have been seized at that time, the inquest has previously heard.
He certainly should never have been keeping a gun in his car, Mr Dillon said.
Outside the court, Mr Elkass's brother Ziad - a police officer of 16 years until he resigned from the force last month - said the family was "bitterly disappointed" the coroner had not called for disciplinary action against the detectives.
"It's always going to be the case that police will look after their own," he said.

Downtown Disney could be on a roll again. Splitsville Luxury Lanes brings a spark of activity that's both retro and modern to the West End of the shopping and entertainment complex. The bowling alley/eatery stays lively through the day and into the evening and late night.
Splitsville opened last month in the space that formerly held the Virgin Mega Store, which closed in 2009. The big, two-story building has been mostly empty since then, with limited tenants including an exhibit devoted to Princess Diana and the Ridemakerz build-a-car establishment, which later moved to a smaller spot over in the Marketplace section of Downtown Disney.
Splitsville operates 30 bowling lanes surrounded by dining tables, bars, billiards tables, a gift shop and a sushi bar. Knock the usual bowling-alley arrangement out of your mind. The lanes are not all side-by-side, firing-range style. Instead there are clusters of four and six lanes on both floors.
There's a lot going on.
Your party and bowling shoes are escorted from the check-in counter to the assigned lane by a Splitsville worker. When you arrive, everyone's names are on the overhead screen, where scoring is done automatically. Each lane has a long, padded bench and tables. The decor is built on a red-and-black scheme, and it looks like a 1950s ad.
Bowling balls are nearby, and a server takes drink and food orders. But beware, you're on the clock. Splitsville, unlike old-school bowling alleys, sells blocks of time on the lanes. You don't pay per game. Each party gets an hour and a half to roll as much as they can. (Time can be added for larger groups.)
When you're down to the last 15 minutes, the scoring screen changes to a bright yellow as a warning signal. A neighboring lane with two children went bonkers during the final countdown, getting in as many tosses as possible. It was good family fun for a Monday afternoon.
The vibe was a bit different during my late-night visit last weekend. Upstairs, a DJ spins, and the five bars were packed, standing-room only. After 11 p.m., there weren't many kids around, but the lanes remained active.
The downstairs bar outside was jammed with NFL fans, spilling into the streets of Downtown Disney. I had a flashback. Isn't this situation what fearful, double-stroller-pushing parents hated about the Pleasure Island nightclubs before they were shuttered four years ago? What do the complainers think now? I think I like it.
Other Splitsville notes:
•There are tables for customers who want to eat but not bowl.
•Televisions are mounted between the scoring screens. This made sense during a football game, less so during the day when ESPN analysts drone on.
•If there is a line — wait times up to three hours have been reported — your party is assigned a beeper than allows you to wander the West End.
•Although some bowling balls have Mickey and Minnie etched into them, the decor isn't Mouse-infested. Postcard-inspired murals depict Cinderella Castle but also the Lake Eola fountain in downtown Orlando. Costumed characters do not parade through.
•We requested an upstairs lane. The first four lanes downstairs were too on display for my taste. A window runs the length of those lanes. It's a great visual — and living advertisement — from the outside, but I don't need passers-by gawking at my poor form. In addition, an interior walkway along aisle 4 leads to the restrooms, which is distracting, and it's awkward for, shall we say, the users.
firstname.lastname@example.com or 407-420-5477
When: 10 a.m.-2 a.m. daily
Where: Downtown Disney's West Side, off Interstate 4, southwest of Orlando
Cost: $15 per person for 90 minutes of bowling before 5 p.m. daily and after 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; $20 per person for 90 minutes of bowling from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday-Sunday (includes shoe rental)

Miami, Fla. - Three additional races were completed on the second day of the 2011 Melges 32 Miami Championship, hosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club, sponsored by Melges Performance Sailboats further confirming the strength and intense momentum possessed by John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti (Nathan Wilmot, tactician). With three more heats complete, a worst-race discard went into effect shaking up the results standing with the exception of the first place position, occupied by Kilroy. He holds the lead by nine points. "Any lead in this fleet, can never be big enough." said Kilroy post racing. "It was kind of hard for us to cover everyone today, but it was also quite nice to see Jason up there winning."
In second overall is Ryan DeVos on Volpe (Ed Baird, tactician) and in third, is Jason Carroll on Argo(Charlie Ogletree, tactician).
Stunning, classic Miami racing conditions prevailed all day long — the breeze ranged 18-23 knots all day long, under sunny blue skies. The sea state on the other hand was again, pretty harsh. Large, lumpy, choppy waters greeted the fleet for the pre-start and stuck around throughout the afternoon. Never once did it let up.
Going into today's racing Kilroy led the pack by three, Lanfranco Cirillo on Fantastica (Vasco Vascotto, tactician) was second and tied with equal points third and fourth, a DeVos family affair consisted of Ryan, and his cousin Dalton DeVos on Delta respectively.
Kilroy brought only total domination in race one of the day. He punched out on the left early for pressure, rounded the top mark in first and never looked back. From start to finish, Kilroy's team was ultra-fast. The young Ryan DeVos gave it his all to chase Kilroy down, but his best efforts just weren't enough leaving him to settle for second. Kip Meadows on roXanne (Andy Horton, tactician) had a great day taking third.
The second race deemed Jason Carroll on Argo in command of the fleet at the top mark. Phil Lotz'sArethusa was in hot pursuit successfully overtaking the lead at the gate. Back upwind, Carroll found the gear required to regain first place, this time with a big lead at the top mark, placing him several boat lengths ahead of the fleet. Lotz, Kilroy, Meadows and Hughes contested downwind with Kilroy securing second, Meadows took home a photo finish pulling up for third over Lotz, less than a boat length as the two crossed the line.
Carroll continued his winning streak winning the final race of the day. Kilroy sailed another solid race to take second and Rod Jabin on Ramrod (Chris Larson, tactician) hammered out a great race for third.
"I can't say enough about my crew coming together today, and just doing a great job hustling the boat around the course all day long." said an ecstatic Carroll. "I like it when it's windy, it's true. The conditions today gave us plenty to work with. If there were any struggles, it was getting off the line. We didn't have exactly the best starts. We were able to hang with the lead pack today, for a minute or so, but then we found ourselves bailing out of those packs."
"What we focused on most, was getting out front, getting away from the other boats so we could do our own thing. This is such a great fleet, it feels so good to have a couple of really good races." concluded Carroll.
Sunday will be the final day of racing with two more races.
At 5 o'clock sharp, Samba Pa Ti hosted a beer party that included 'a big surprise.' The Samba team was pretty tight lipped about exactly what all the hype was about, but when a fabulous chorus line of Samba dancers appeared (with musicians in tow), step-for-step, making their way down the dock through crowds of sailors everyone knew it was Samba time! Great fun, partying and beer flowed as the dancers enticed everyone to dance and party on the docks - Miami style!
A very special thanks to Kilroy and team for such a great party and experience.

Danbury boys soccer team fails to convert late penalty kick, plays to draw against Stamford
DANBURY -- Danbury 1, Stamford 1, Crossbar 1. An agreeable result for all involved parties.
A mysterious call in the final minutes of Wednesday night's boys soccer match at Danbury High could not prevent a 1-1 draw, as Hatters senior midfielder Kenny Wilson curled a far-side corner kick through a fog and into the box to draw an unexplained penalty that he could not convert with 3:56 left in regulation.
Neither coach heard "hand-ball." Nor "foul." And when Wilson's searing effort clanged off the crossbar, it almost seemed just.
"I have no idea what their penalty call was," said Stamford coach Mario Caminiti. "Honestly, justice was served."
"It's kind of a sketchy call," added Danbury coach Sean Colley, who saw some jostling but not enough to warrant a whistle at such a critical juncture. "It's a fair result, because they had opportunities too."
Still, Danbury produced perhaps the cleanest looks, two of which were additional one-on-one scenarios in the second half. Early in the second, Edison Matute, who assisted Jordan Warren's goal in the fourth minute, found himself alone in the box but couldn't beat a sliding Ron Andre. And Andre, who gambled too far off his line on Warren's goal, punched away the senior striker's breakaway offering with 17 minutes left in regulation.
"It's frustrating because Stamford's a really good team," Colley said. "I thought, in the second half, we had three really great opportunities. Two one-on-one's in the box and a penalty kick with our best player (Wilson). ... I'd put him in there 100 out of 100 times. So it's unfortunate that he missed. He probably over-kicked it a little bit."
Andre finished with six saves and his counterpart, Danbury freshman Ian Shannon, totaled 10.
The Black Knights equalized in the 17th minute when sophomore midfielder Joey Schinella unleashed a knuckling, 30-yard strike that surprised Shannon but not the Stamford bench.
"He's really stepping up for us with one of our captains, Eric Altamura, out with a major injury," Caminiti said of Schinella. "We have a lot of confidence in him. He's a smart player. He's scored previously in the same manner."
Records: Stamford 5-2-2; Danbury 4-3-1.
Goals: D -- Jordan Warren; S -- Joey Schinella. Assists: D -- Edison Matute. Goalies: S -- Ron Andre (6 saves); D -- Ian Shannon (10 saves).

It has come to this for the Mets. Brandon Knight has been called upon to pull the Mets out of their funk. It has been three straight losses, so you can't really call it a collapse. But, it has also been four losses in five games, so you tell me.
The bullpen crashed and burned Sunday, Pedro Martinez showed heart alone wasn't enough Monday, and Monday and Tuesday the offense went into hibernation mode. Each of the past four losses carries a reminder from how they collapsed last September.
The Mets are asking a lot from Knight tonight. This has to be a game where the offense tees off, but there's been no signs of that lately.

Picnic Railway
Picnic Railway started about a year ago. The band is deep into experimentation, jamming, improvisation and freedom of note and technique use.
The band as such doesn't have definite members but consists of a number of people who know the pieces as if they were "standards", meaning they play the tune, then improvise over it to make it as different to the other performances as possible.
Picnic Railway does rehearse very intensively however. The band members need to learn pieces very fast and will be given videos, tracks, demos, etc. to practice over and over again. Hours of work is put in from each member.
The only definite member is Danny Neo, a guitarist who occasionally sings for the band. He writes numerous pieces in a range of styles. This can be from Funk, Reggae, Soul, Blues, Rock, Gypsy, Jazz, Psychedelic and so on.
The band is very loose since it relies primarily on Danny inviting members for jams and teaching loose parts for improvising.
The band primarily uses the members Joe O'Neill, Miles, and Dean Miller. These are the most experienced players.
Picnic Railway on Facebook.
See Picnic Railway live at the Classic Grand on Saturday the 8th September.

Tucked deep in Clare's recap of VMAC activities today was this little nugget:
"We've got 10 picks going into this draft, which is fantastic for us," Carroll said. "I can't imagine all the work that John (Schneider, the GM) is going to turn out with all those opportunities."
I'm assuming we are getting that extra 4/5 from Curry transaction, but the other two?? For T.Jackson and Ruud?
Anyone heard any details on those picks??
Also I guess that means we for sure aren't losing that pick to the Bucs for Winslow??
JS/PC with 10 picks is DANGEROUS!!

Marcus Aurelius father of Commodus Gladiator Movie Emperor Ancient Roman Coins Guide
Marcus Aurelius was from a time period of Roman history ruled by what is now named the Adoptive Emperors. From emperor Nerva on until Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperors adopted as their "son" the next succeeding emperor. This era was known for immense prosperity. However, Marcus Aurelius actually broke the customs of "adopting" able administrators and instead chose his son to succeed him. This caused some issued in history as his son was not as positive for the Roman empire as his father was. This time period has been popularized by the famous Hollywood film, the Gladiator, with Russell Crowe. The fact is that Commodus did fight in the arena, and it made for an interesting story in the film.

Dramatic video from a New Jersey state police dashboard camera shows a trooper on the shoulder of a roadway saving the life of a teenager who was choking on a chicken nugget.
The 13-year-old boy, Julian Estrada, who has special needs and is prone to seizures, was sitting in the back seat of his parents' car Sunday, eating one of his favorite foods, when he started having trouble breathing.
State police spokesman Brian Polite said the boy's father, Filadelfo Estrada, pulled the car over on Route 129 in Trenton, and "frantically waved" to a passing trooper to stop and help.
The trooper, James Hearne, who had recruit Ruben Behavidez riding along for training, raced to the back of Estrada's vehicle, and as the video shows, began applying the Heimlich maneuver in an effort to dislodge the food as the child's father and mother watched.
In a matter of seconds, it worked, and the boy could breathe.
Polite says the family declined first aid, and drove off to their home in Florence, N.J.
The boy's mother said the troopers "acted like angels for us."
