Hathaway breaks single-season digs mark, #Seawolves honor seniors in 3-1 loss to Yale
Nov. 26, 2013Photo Gallery
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Playing on their Senior Nights, Kaitlin Costello recorded 14 kills and 15 digs, while Hailee Herc tallied a season-high 11 digs in her first start of the season as the Stony Brook volleyball team wrapped up its season with a 3-1 (19-25, 25-18, 25-15, 25-15) loss to Yale Tuesday night at Pritchard Gymnasium.
Sophomore captain Lo Hathaway made history in the fourth set, tallying her 13th dig of the night to pass Noelle Bay for the program's all-time single-season dig record. Hathaway finished with 20 digs in the match and 553 in 2013. Bay racked up 545 digs in 2007.
Hathaway also finished the year fifth in Stony Brook single-season history in digs per set at 4.29. Her 2011 mark of 4.25 sits tied for seventh with Stasia Nikas (1989).
The Seawolves conclude the season at 16-18 overall and 9-5 in the America East, their third-best winning percentage in conference play behind 2007 (.917) and 2003 (.714).
Head Coach Coley Pawlikowski's Reaction
"We played well tonight. Yale is a very solid team and plays consistent volleyball. This was a great way to end our season. We made some changes individually and as a group that we have been trying to make all year, so it was great to see it come together. Our seniors hopefully feel like they ended on a good note, and we are so very proud of the growth we have seen on and off the court in both of them this season!"
SB was ahead the entire opening stanza and took a 20-17 lead over the NCAA-bound Bulldogs on a kill by Costello. Stephanie McFadden and Kathy Fletcher teamed up for a block and Yale followed with an attack error to push the Stony Brook advantage to five, 22-17. The guests scored the next two, but the Seawolves responded with three consecutive kills, clinching the first set on a slam by Melissa Rigo.
Yale raced out to an early 4-0 advantage in the second set before committing a service error. The Seawolves stormed back, tying it at six when Hannah Dolan set up Fletcher for a smack as a back-and-forth contest ensued. Costello evened the score at 14-14 with a kill, but Yale registered the next four to go in front, 18-14, and held off the Seawolves to put the match at one set apiece.
Stony Brook was within one, 6-5, after a Bulldog service error; however, Yale tallied the next five points to take a 10-5 lead and force an SB timeout. Taylor Gillie hammered home a kill out of the huddle and Rigo followed with a kill to trim the deficit to three, 10-7. The Seawolves could not inch closer, as the Bulldogs went on an 8-4 run thereafter that propelled them to the win and used another hot start in the fourth set to ice the match.

Spring Tasks, Manure, Starting Seeds, DJ Wilson
As I write this post, the wind is howling and the wind chill is below zero. We have a barn full of does and kids that are doing their very best to cuddle up and stay warm. Two days ago I was in shirt sleeves and hauling horse manure around to fertilize all the flowerbeds, roses and jonquils that are bursting through the soil. March is coming in like a lion and if that old saying is correct, it will go out like a lamb.
It is time to start your tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds! I am working on it. I have three trays in the south window of the living room. They have been planted for about five days, and I am watching for those first sprouts to appear. I have made several seed orders and would have planted lettuce and spinach today if it had not been sub-zero! You know that is OK, because in about four days it will be in the 50s and 60s, and I will plant them then.
We have been talking about our list of things to accomplish as the weather continues to improve. We are going to re-seed the pastures this year. Our pastures feed the horses, cattle and goats and also our honey bees. We will plant crimson, white and yellow clover along with a grass mixture in the pastures and Dutch clover in the orchard.
We will also start some new hives of bees as we continue to re-build the bee hive population. We are looking forward to working with the bees and enjoying the honey.
Dad has more than 100 fruit trees in the front yard, and they are in need of pruning.
Yes, it is time for spring! I have memorized the seed catalogues, read tons of books, and filled the wood stove more times than I can count. So now ... spring!
Enjoy and thanks for shooting the breeze!

At the core of the bodys ability to absorb nutrients, the lower gastrointestinal tract (made up of the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum) is highly important to the rest of the bodys systems. The lower gastrointestinal tract also provides unique challenges for the medical community.
Physicians and surgeons at the Center treat the full spectrum of lower gastrointestinal diseases from colon cancer to Crohns disease to fecal incontinence. CADC doctors regularly conference with colleagues from other specialties at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medical College in order to assess the whole patient and their unique medical history.
Conditions we treat
- Colorectal polyps and cancers
- Inherited colorectal cancer syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Diverticulitis
- Anorectal conditions like hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse
- Fecal incontinence
- Urogynecologic issues
New Therapies, Advanced Research
The advanced array of treatments available at the Center, including cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedures, give doctors all available options to treat each unique case. New therapies and procedures are also pioneered at the Center for Advanced Digestive Care, including the combined endo-laparoscopic surgery for large or hard-to-reach benign colon polyps.
Basic science, clinical and translational research at Weill Cornell Medicine is bringing new understanding to light on how colorectal disorders occur and how best to treat them. Novel delivery methods for medicines, determining how tumors become malignant, and even the interplay between inflammatory bowel disease, the immune system, and the microbiome are all recent advances in research from CADC member physicians and scientists.
With comparative effectiveness research as a major pillar of the Center for Advanced Digestive Care, our physicians are at the forefront in breakthrough research leading to advances in treatments of lower gastrointestinal conditions, including colorectal cancer and Crohn's Disease.
Patient Centered Gastrointestinal Care
Keeping the patient at the center of their own treatment is a cornerstone of the Center for Advanced Digestive Cares mission. The Center offers numerous services and consultations, including genetic counseling, ostomy care, nutritional counseling, and the support of a social worker. Patient support groups are also offered for patients with specific diseases, as well as those living with an ostomy. Many of these services and consultations are offered free of charge to patients of the center.

Paul Jennings
According to his Reminiscences, Paul Jennings was born at Montpelier in 1799, purportedly the son of a white British merchant named Benjamin Jennings. His mother was a Montpelier slave and the granddaughter of a Native American. Little else is known about Jennings' lineage. He was part of the Madison household staff at the President's House, and labored as Madison's personal attendant during his retirement. Jennings began his life as a slave on the Virginia plantation of the "Father of the Constitution" and eventual U.S. president. As a house servant, Jennings learned the appropriate skills and trades of a domestic slave, became literate, and was acquainted with powerful statesmen. After purchasing his own freedom, Jennings continued life in Washington, D.C. as a free man with abolitionist tendencies and gained employment with the U.S. government Pension Office. Jennings died in 1874, living long enough to witness the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments added to the U.S. Constitution.
Jennings in Washington
In 1809, at only ten-years-old, Jennings accompanied the first couple to Washington where James Madison began his tenure as President. Jennings described the emerging capital city as "a dreary place." Pennsylvania Avenue was in a deteriorated state due to either mud or dust. Jennings likely served as a footman, waiter, porter and perhaps, even as a postillion during Madison's presidency.
June 18, 1812 marked the beginning of the War of 1812, or as it would become known – Mr. Madison's War. Under the command of General John Armstrong, British forces marched towards Washington in late August 1814, and despite the impending danger, "Mrs. Madison ordered dinner to be ready at 3, as usual." Jennings, in turn, set the table for a lavish dinner party and brought out various beverages "as all the Cabinet and several military gentlemen and strangers were expected." Eventually the danger of invasion proved too imminent for Dolley, who evacuated the President's House after salvaging pieces of silver, some important documents, and the red velvet curtains from the present-day Blue Room. Dolley also ordered that the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington be saved with the assistance of Jean Pierre Sioussat, majordomo and chef at the President's House, and Thomas Magraw, gardener for the Madisons. Jennings described the chaotic scene – "People were running in every direction" – as Richard Cutts, Dolley's brother-in-law, sent him to a stable on 14th Street to recover his carriage.
Peace was eventually declared in early 1815 after delegations signed a peace treaty in Ghent in late 1814. When the news reached Washington, Jennings described everyone as "crazy with joy." Another Madison butler, John Freeman, served wine to the domestic servants and Jennings played the President's March on the violin.
The Madisons Retire
In 1817, after two presidential terms, the Madison household withdrew to their Virginia Piedmont Plantation. During this time, Jennings transitioned into the role of Madison's personal manservant, serving in this capacity until Madison's death in 1836. As a manservant, or body servant, Jennings was responsible for shaving, dressing, and accompanying Madison on trips, as well as running any necessary errands. Jennings' skill as a waiter, learned and likely perfected in Washington, meant that he was also a valuable and versatile servant, who probably served as the main butler as well.
In 1822, Jennings married Fanny Gordon, a slave at a neighboring plantation owned by Charles Pitt Howard. The Howard Place property was contiguous with Montpelier lands and this close proximity was likely how Jennings was able to meet Fanny. By 1818, Jennings traveled to and from Howard Place. In a letter dated March 8, 1818, Howard sent James Madison, "by Paul," a file of early editions of the Pennsylvania Gazette. Together the couple had five children – Felix, Frances, John, Franklin, and William – all of whom lived with Fanny at Howard Place. Paul likely visited his family at Howard Place on the weekends and holidays. In an April 1844 letter to Dolley, Paul wrote after a visit to Fanny that "mr & mrs howards sends thair kindes love to you an miss Annay thay wer much to here from you." Fanny died in the summer of 1844, the same year Dolley sold Montpelier to Henry Moncure.
Jennings was by Madison's side the day he died in 1836. By his own account, he shaved Madison every second day for the previous sixteen years. On June 28, 1836, Sukey brought Madison his breakfast, but this particular morning he had trouble swallowing. Madison's niece, Nelly Willis, asked her uncle, "What is the matter?" Jennings recorded Madison's subsequent last words in his Reminiscences: "Nothing more than a change of mind, my dear." And "as quietly as the snuff of a candle goes out" Madison died.
Madison's Death and Jennings Obtains his Freedom
After Madison's death, Jennings remained Dolley's trusted servant, traveling back and forth to Washington with her until she sold Montpelier in 1844. Throughout that time, at least one of Dolley's friends in Washington repeatedly requested Jennings' services as a waiter: "Is Paul quite well – and will you allow him to wait dinner for me to day at 6 o clock?" In 1846, after giving thought to his emancipation (Dolley even drafted an emancipation document for Jennings in 1845), Dolley accepted $200 for Jennings from an insurance agent named Pollard Webb. Six months later, in March 1847, Daniel Webster paid $120 for Jennings' freedom, and with Jennings agreeing to work off his purchase price at $8 per month, he had his freedom papers in hand. In April 1848, Jennings helped to organize the largest attempted slave escape in the United States, a plot which ultimately failed.
In subsequent years Jennings remarried, to Desdemona Brooks in 1849 and after her death, to Amelia Dorsey in 1870. In 1854, Jennings purchased a lot on the south side of L Street, between 18th and 19th Streets. Jennings resided at 1804 L Street, while his daughter Frances and her two sons lived next door. Sons John, Franklin, and William all joined the Union cause in the Civil War. Franklin later became a farmer in Dumfries, Virginia. Meanwhile, Jennings secured a government job with the U.S. Department of the Interior Pension Office where he worked with John Brooks Russell. Russell found Jennings' life story interesting and recorded his story, A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison, which ran in a January 1863 issue of Historical Magazine and Notes and queries concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America. George C. Beadle of Brooklyn, New York published Jennings memoir in book form in 1865. Russell provided the preface which served as a brief introduction to Jennings' life and story. A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison is widely recognized as the first White House memoir. In his new station in life, Jennings occasionally gave the aged and impoverished Dolley Madison "small sums of money from [his] own pocket."
Paul Jennings died at his home in May 1874. He bequeathed his house, located at 1804 L Street, NW, and the attached lot to his sons John and Franklin.

Monday, March 14, 2011 | The longtime leaders of Orange County's Republican Party were given a rude awakening in January when Villa Park Councilwoman, and self described "blended" Tea Partier, Deborah Pauly, bested establishment candidate Jon Fleischman in the election for first vice chair of the GOP Central Committee.
Just how rude this awakening could end up being for the party's establishment became apparent in mid February when Pauly stood outside of a Muslim charity event in Yorba Linda and said to cheering protestors: "Make no mistake my friends, these who are assembling are enemies of America."
She added: "I know quite a few Marines who would be very happy to help these terrorists to an early meeting in paradise."
Such vitriolic comments made by Pauly can be heard in a video put together by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that, in a matter of days, went viral.
Pauly's actions touched a nerve in Orange County. Speakers at recent meeting of the Orange County Human Relations Commission claimed to have received death threats since the protest. And Pauly's colleagues on the Villa Park City Council are in the process of drafting a statement to address her actions.
At least one major Muslim advocacy group has demanded that Orange County's Republican party's condemn the protest and comments from elected officials who were present.
"Time and again Republican leaders have shown a lack of leadership and irresponsible behavior in upholding the oath that they took," said Munira Syeda, a local spokeswoman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "It's time for the Republican party to come out and say this is un-American."
The local controversy comes against the backdrop of last week's congressional hearing in Washington D.C. focusing on Islamic extremism. Supporters of the hearing say it is a courageous stand for national security. Critics compare it to McCarthyism and say it is the latest example of growing Islamophobia throughout the country.
The response by Orange County's party leadership to Pauly's comments has been muted, even a bit disjointed. In an interview with a reporter, OC GOP Chairman Scott Baugh defended Pauly's right to speak out, but was clearly uncomfortable doing it.
"We don't referee the content of what people say out at rallies," Baugh said. He added later: "In Democracy -- in a country with free speech -- at rallies a lot of things are said. I wouldn't read too much into it."
Adam Probolsky, a Republican pollster, activist and central committee member said it's simply not the role of the party to be regulating what its members -- or even its leaders -- say at public events. "The news of the day is not what makes up the activity of the day of the Republican Party," Probolsky said.
However, even some Tea Party activists are acknowledging that outbursts like Pauly's could significantly damage efforts by the local GOP to broaden its base.
"You have a lot of people (in the GOP) that want to kill - it seems to me - they want to kill all Muslims," said Central Committee member and fellow Tea Partier Allan Bartlett. "I don't criticize her right to be there, but it has generated publicity that I don't think -- our party could do better as far as messaging right now."
Mixed Messages
Pauly was first elected to the central committee in 2006. She describes herself as a blended Tea Party and establishment Republican. January's election saw her win first vice chair of the party.
She has made it clear that one of her goals is to bring attention to the threat of Islamic terrorism and an ideology that some suspect is incompatible with American style democracy.
Pauly has said that her comments were directed at two keynote speakers at the event -- Imam Siraj Wahhaj and Amir Abdel Malik Ali.
Wahhaj was named along with 169 others as co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj was never charged and has denied involvement. Malik Ali was reported to have made comments supporting Hezbollah, a Lebanese group that recently fought a war with Israel and is designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization.
But Pauly never referenced the speakers in her speech and made a number of blanket statements about people whom she called "unwelcome invaders."
In a recent interview, an emotional Pauly acknowledged that her statements were too general, saying that she "takes ownership" of that mistake. Choking back tears, Pauly said she should have directed her comments at Wahhaj and Malik Ali, but didn't because she thought doing so could have endangered her life.
"I'll be honest about why I did that," Pauly said after a long pause. "Fear... I was afraid to speak out."
Despite voicing regrets about what she said, Pauly was angry with Bartlett's response. She said they were "incredibly irresponsible," "very inaccurate," and "a very dangerous thing to say."
Meanwhile, Probolsky said Pauly's behavior should not reflect on the party as a whole.
"I'm sure Deborah Pauly says things and people have construed it as some sort of Villa Park position -- and it never really was. It was just one person's opinion," Probolsky said. "I don't see it as any kind of relevant connection. It's just Deb Pauly. Same crazy stuff."
That kind of relaxed attitude doesn't sit well with Syeda, who says that enabling certain public activities of the members and leaders of the party could be dangerous.
"Do we really have to wait for violence to occur against American Muslims?" Syeda said. "Then maybe we'll hear a condemnation from the Republican party?"

PROVIDENCE, R.I.�� �� As people bustled through Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence Wednesday morning, many stopped to move aside their hats and caps in order to have ashes placed on their foreheads.
They seemed startled at first to see a row of robed Episcopal priests standing out in the cold, waiting to bless them.� But then many said that they were grateful for the accessibility on Ash Wednesday, the day that mark�s the beginning of the Lenten season for Christians.
�I walked into work and said, �Oh no, I forgot my ashes,� � said Brent Thurston, an employee at Bank of America.� �And then (someone) said we could get them right outside.
�I think this is great.�
This is the third year in a row that priests from the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island have taken part in a national movement called �Ashes to Go.�
It is intended to make the priests and the Lenten blessing accessible people in their everyday lives.
Some people can�t be in church on all the holy days on the calendar,� said the Rev. Edmund Harris said. �On this day we�re a reminder that God comes to us.�
Harris was one of about 10 priests who chose to brave the cold and take the streets for the holy day.
Other locations included T.F. Green Airport, the Providence train station, Providence�s East Side, the Kingston train station in the southern part of the state, Washington Park Square near the Cranston-Providence line, and a drive-up option in the parking lot of the Holy Trinity Church in Tiverton.

Independents Souring on President Obama, Poll Shows
President Barack Obama is losing independent voters, a new national poll shows.
A majority of independent voters say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's handing of his job, and far fewer independents say they would vote to re-elect the president, the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press reported.
In the Pew survey, taken July 20-24, some 54% of independents said they disapproved of Mr. Obama's job performance, his highest disapproval rating among those voters so far. Some 36% said they approved of the president's handling of his job.
Some 31% of independents said they would vote to re-elect the president, a drop from 42% in May. Where Mr. Obama in prior Pew surveys had claimed a plurality of independents, the June poll showed him to be losing independents to a generic GOP candidate, 39% to 31%.
Among the general public, the 11-point lead Mr. Obama enjoyed over a generic Republican in May has dropped to one point: 41% of voters would re-elect him, while 40% support the GOP's pick.
The survey also found that Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, leads the GOP field, with support from 21% of Republican voters. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has the support of 12%, while Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann each have 11%.
But Mr. Perry leads among Republicans who are paying the most attention to the race. He has the support of 22 of highly attentive Republicans, even though he has not announced whether he will run. Mr. Romney placed second among the most-attentive Republicans, with 15% support.
The poll was conducted July 20-24 among 1,501 adults and 1,205 registered voters, with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

Greene King IPA Championship Round 8 preview
Bedford Blues go in search of their second win of the Championship season when they entertain Moseley at Goldington Road on Friday night.
So far last season's losing finalists have only beaten bottom-of-the-table Ealing and are already find themselves 14 points adrift of the play-off places. Last season Blues did the double over Moseley, scoring 91 points with only 26 against their name across the two fixtures. The corresponding match was won by the Blues, 50-6.
Leeds Carnegie, having won local bragging rights with a Yorkshire derby victory over Rotherham Titans, will look to continue their 100 per cent record over London Scottish in the Championship when they take on the Exiles in south-west London on Saturday afternoon. Leeds won 37-14 at The Athletic Ground last season.
Jersey, who dropped to third from bottom in the table following a 29-3 defeat at the hands of Scottish on Sunday, are at home to Cornish Pirates, who, following their a narrow win over Bedford, have now scored as many points (140) as they have conceded. Pirates won 20-6 in St Peter in the corresponding fixture in 2012/13.
It is top versus bottom at the Kassam Stadium on Sunday as leaders London Welsh play an Ealing side yet to register a point. Welsh go into the match boasting a 100 per cent record after they made it seven wins from seven with a 22-7 victory over Bristol, a game watched by their biggest home crowd of the season.
Last season the home side won on each occasion Bristol Rugby and Rotherham Titans met in the league. In total, Bristol have won eight out of the 14 league fixtures between the sides, dating back to the first-ever clash in 1998: a 16-5 win for the Titans in the old Allied Dunbar Premiership 2.
11th-placed Nottingham will be looking to extend their winning run over mid-table Plymouth Albion to seven matches when they play the Devon outfit at Meadow Lane. You have to go back four years to find Plymouth's last win against the Green & Whites: a 31-25 win at Brickfields on October 31, 2009.

Sighting Details
Before I relate my experience of this past Tuesday, April 29 2014, I must tell you my background. I am currently an "airline pilot" with 34 years of flying experience, and over 28 years as an airline pilot flying all types of aircraft under FAR Part 135 and FAR Part 121. I am currently based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, (KFLL) with a major airline flying as a Captain on the Airbus 319/320/321. I am typed in the B1900, B737, DC9/MD80, and A320. I have ailine experience flying all over the world. This event took place very close to Fort Lauderdale Airport. I have been flying to (KFLL) since 1996 and I am very familiar with the area, the airport traffic flow, the airspace restrictions and the final approach sequence for landing including the approx. areas of the Final Approach Fix for the normal landing on Runway 10L (left). Suffice to say, I know where airplanes should be and I know where they should NOT be if they have no intention of landing in KFLL on Runway 10L. This object I saw was obviously not landing on 10L and should not have been in the final approach corrider. I approximate the object/orb/light to have been about 1500-2000 ft. between the final approach fix NOVAE and PIONN.These GPS fixes are noted on the ILS 10L Approach Plate for KFLL. That would place it approximately 8-10 miles due west of KFLL on the 270 deg radial. My family and I, along with many thousands of Bruce Springsteen fans had just begun leaving the completed concert held at the BB&T Center on Panther Parkway, Sunrise, FL. As we were coming out the front doors with thousands of fans, I noticed a group of people pointing and staring in the southern sky. I looked up to see what they were watching and saw the following: A extremely bright, pulsating round white light appeared to be slowly moving north toward the arena. I immediately assumed in was an aircraft on base leg getting ready to make a right turn to land at KFLL. The landing light, or what I though was a landing light was extremely bright. Thinking back it really was to bright to be an aircraft but I figured it could be. It started pulsating from bright white to pulsating blue to red to back to blue, etc. It slowed and I thought it had begun a turn to the east to set up for landing but it appeared to stop in mid-air. The bright light then changed to a star pattern like design but the best I can describe it... is apppeared to be like a bright blue ASTERIK just like this *. At least 3, maybe 4 but I believe 3...crossed lines of bright blue crossed lines....steady....not moving...stationary. Before the ASTERIK design appeared, I kept trying to dismiss this event as first.. a jet aircraft inbound to KFLL from the south. But no noise could be heard and the landing lights were too bright for a jet. Then when it appeared to stop in mid-air I figured it to be a helicopter. But still no noise. Then when the star-asterik (*) pattern appeared, I assumed maybe it to be a helicopter with advertising on the skids...but no written message or ad appeared, just the bright asterik design. Seconds later the asterik immage disappeared but a small white orb/light stayed. It then made two or three extremely fast, zig-zag flight maneuvers that I have never seen any wordly flying aircraft make. It then suddenly stopped... and and then shot straight up out of sight and an extreme rate of speed that I can not explain not have I ever seen an aircraft or helicopter do before. This whole incident only last about 1 minute from the time I saw other people watching something to the time it shot upwards to the stars and disappeared. I tried to see if the object was still around but the crowd was sort of moving me along as I was in the way of the mass of fans leaving the front doors of the concert. As I walked to my car, tree tops in the parking lot began to obstruct my view and my family and I had become separated. I made my way back to the car and watched the sky for a few minutes and did not see anything else. My 16 year old son witnessed basically the same phenomina I saw. I wish I had thought to film this with my phone but it happened so fast that had I got my phone out of my pocket, waited for it to turn on, frame, focus in dark sky, etc. I am sure I would have missed the event but I feel reluctant now that I did not at least try. The weather that evening was clear skies. No clouds that I can recall, Visibility was good to excellent, temp. in the low 80's. I could not make out any shape of the object. Only the bright pulsating light that changed colors and shape as described above.

In 2005, Emmanuel Bourjolly (M.Div., 2006) missed the deadline to choose a site for his field education. PTS's associate director of field education Chester Polk called him and said, "Bourjolly, your time is up: you're in violation of the rules, so I'm going to send you to prison."Bourjolly laughed, assuming Polk was joking. But the following week, Bourjolly warily approached the metal detectors at the Albert C. Wagner Youth Correctional Facility in Bordentown, New Jersey—the site determined by Polk to be the best fit for Bourjolly's field education placement. Bourjolly met prison chaplain supervisor Sister Rose Hubert at the entrance."In Haiti we tremble at the word prison!" said Bourjolly, who was born and raised in Les Cayes, a coastal town north of Port-au-Prince. "Conditions are horrifying: it feels as though if you go in, you'll never get out alive." While perhaps not as sinister as the prisons in Haiti, a sentence at Wagner is severe. To enter the facility, one must pass through a metal detector, be patted down by an officer, leave one's cell phone, driver's license, and personal items at the door, and pass through three sets of locked doors. Ceilings are low, and windows are dim, few, and barred. Guiding him through a monochrome labyrinth of passageways, Sister Rose introduced Bourjolly to the inmates, many of whom belonged to rival gangs—Bloods and Crips, Nietos and Latin Kings. Guards jokingly referred to Wagner as "gladiator school." If you can survive conditions here, they said, you could work anywhere. It is not unusual for the prison to go into lockdown mode as a result of rioting or violent attacks. Anything can be made into a weapon with a little creativity—even a plastic water bottle. Such incidents did not inspire confidence in Bourjolly. He found reassurance from the presence of Sister Rose, who mentored Bourjolly through the introductory phase of his placement until he found his footing, quickly gaining the confidence of inmates and staff alike. When he finally said his goodbyes at the end of his term, Bourjolly assumed that was the last he would ever see of the Albert C. Wagner Youth Correctional Facility.When he graduated from PTS in 2006, Bourjolly took a position as a math teacher at Trenton High School. One day after work, he arrived home to a blinking light on his answering machine with a message from an administrator at Wagner. He returned the call. "Reverend Bourjolly, you are the best candidate we have for this position.""I'm sorry, what position are you speaking of?" Bourjolly asked, perplexed."For the position of prison chaplain supervisor: Sister Rose is retiring, and you're the best replacement candidate we have. Do you accept the position?" To this day, Bourjolly has no idea who anonymously submitted his name for consideration. He accepted anyway. On Bourjolly's first day, a prison administrator shrugged off Bourjolly's initial enthusiasm. "I have news for you, Bourjolly: you might have great ideas, but we can't change the way things operate around here," he said. Undeterred, Bourjolly went to work. He led weekly chapel services (both Christian and interfaith), as well as regular Bible studies. Inmates started referring to Bourjolly as "the Phantom" because he would appear throughout the prison at all hours of the day and night. He made a point of walking the halls, visiting inmates in their cells and in common spaces. Lines formed outside the cell where Bourjolly was meeting with an inmate; many were desperate for an attentive ear to hear their fears and concerns. "I practice the ministry of presence," said Bourjolly. "These young people have lost everything: their families, friends, homes, the opportunity to work and contribute to society. In January 2008 alone there were six suicide attempts, one successful. How can I instill hope in the midst of such desperation?"The answer, Bourjolly found, comes from the practice of embodying God's presence to the inmates. Mostly, Bourjolly just listens. Sometimes he finds that sharing his own story of immigrating to the United States from Haiti can offer encouragement and hope."If they are interested, I offer my own pain; I do not hide it," said Bourjolly, who arrived in the U.S. at thirty-five years old, with no English language background or family connections. Bourjolly points out to those who will listen that if he had allowed despair to get the upper hand, "I would have betrayed myself and my family. I had a wife and two children to feed. We knew no one and had nothing—I needed to cling to the God of hope, just like Job when he lost everything." While most respond to Bourjolly's stories, at times the stories have little effect. Inmates succumb to despair, an all too common effect of living in the prison system. In such cases, prisoners have grown to feel more safe and cared for in prison than they did back at home. As difficult as life can be at Wagner, inmates still eat three meals a day, exercise, and sleep through the night without fear of violence. They don't have to fear ending up on the streets. One inmate confided to Bourjolly that he was already anxious about leaving the prison in the year 2014! There is a word for such a state of being: institutionalization. This is an ugly word at Wagner, one of the worst insults an inmate can hurl, because it implies that the person has lost his ability to fully function as an autonomous human being. He has become dependent on the prison system, a state that often leads to re-incarceration: according to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 67.5 percent of inmates are rearrested within three years of release. It is the mission of Bourjolly and others like him to fight against such a withdrawal into despair. They do so by calling upon faith in the redemptive power of God, and translating that faith into practical initiatives that equip prisoners for life on the outside.Not long after he began his work as chaplain, Bourjolly and others helped form the Petey Greene program, a volunteer program through Princeton University's Pace Center for Civic Engagement. The program incorporates trained university students to tutor and teach inmates, and recruits volunteer professors and graduate students to teach courses. Bourjolly also helped to tackle an abysmal technology center, which consisted of a single computer he described as one "my great-great-grandmother probably used." With some persistence, Bourjolly and others managed to convince Princeton University to donate more than twenty computers to Wagner when the university switched operating systems. Computer skills render inmates more employable once their sentence is finished. Bourjolly has observed a growing sense of hope in those who are participating in the educational programs, designed to develop practical skill sets—and occasionally even a degree.As for Bourjolly, three years of ministering at Wagner "feels like twenty years' worth of growth" in terms of spiritual understanding and development. When he encounters the inevitable challenges in ministering to prisoners, Bourjolly draws inspiration from Dietrich Bonheoffer's experience with the underground seminary. "Bonheoffer left his comfortable life in the U.S. for the dangers of the front. I believe Christ wants us at the front, where the crisis is happening. That's why I appreciate this calling to prison ministry: it's a place where the stakes are high!"Bourjolly says that his classes at PTS "educated biases out of me," challenging him to venture forth from his previously sheltered Christian paradigm. "PTS helped me to better understand other's beliefs so I could be receptive to learning from them, without closing myself off." He cites the role of the Practical Theology Department in helping him to learn about the formation of community and developing a ministry of presence, as well as Professor Ellen Charry, who with her high standards "taught me how to read and write!" He appreciates the many intangibles he learned at PTS that have continued to serve him in ministry, including the cultivation of his spiritual life, the ability to relate to others across societal and cultural boundaries, and a lifelong practice of theological inquiry that follows him all the way to the front.

Paddy is a widower who spends his lonely days watching TV in his bathrobe.
Sam can barely summon the energy to wisecrack about the aged wrecks who share the pool in his jazzercise-for-seniors class. Archie has a post-stroke regimen of pills and a son who nags him to take it easy "at your age."
And Billy wears the decades of too much California tanning and the stress of keeping up with a fiancée half his age.
Yeah, you'll want to party with these guys. Especially after you learn that they're played by Oscar winners Robert De Niro, Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas, respectively. Especially after you learn that they're about to cut loose at a bachelor party.
Last Vegas is an on-the-nose, on-the-money Grumpy Old Men with hangovers set in Sin City. It's a comedy that, thanks to its Oscar-studded cast, leans more toward the sentimental than the sinful.
Back in their doo-wop music past, they were the "Flatbush Four," pals who stuck together against bullies, swiped booze and pined for the same girl. Now pushing 70, they're reunited when Malibu Billy (Douglas) finally ties the knot.
They do what people do in Vegas — play blackjack, do a little dance, fall in love with a lounge singer (Mary Steenburgen), crack jokes.
Steenburgen positively beams. After years of playing moms and straight-laced wives, she croons a few standards in the Vegas vein and holds her own with the big boys.
Director Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) captures the garish, cleavage-friendly setting, sets up the senior-citizen sight gags with skill.
Last Vegas isn't "out there" in a Hangover sense. It's comical comfort food, with actors doing the sorts of things they've done for decades. But even if this is the safest Vegas romp of them all, this cast never lets us forget that we're in very good hands.
C+ Directed by Jon Turteltaub. PG-13 (sexual content and language). 100 mins. In wide release.

A.M. Vitals: Two Senators Propose Opening Medicare Database
Open Sesame?: Sens. Ron Wyden and Charles Grassley have introduced a bill that would open the Medicare-claims database, allowing the public to see billing information for individual health-care providers while keeping patient identities confidential, the WSJ reports. A 1979 court injunction bars the release of any billing data for individual physicians, and critics — including the WSJ, whose publisher has filed legal papers to open the database — say the confidentiality helps mask overbilling. The AMA opposes a policy change.
Talking Insurance: In an interview, Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini says his own health issues would keep him from being able to purchase health-care coverage on the individual market — until 2014, when insurance companies will have to accept all comers per the health-care overhaul law, Kaiser Health News reports. Bertolini also says the law doesn't include strong enough penalties for not complying with the individual mandate and defends individual-policy rate increases in California.
Preparing for a Fight: Roche's Genentech and breast-cancer patients who credit the company's drug Avastin for their survival are gearing up for a June hearing at which an outside FDA advisory committee will weigh whether to support the agency's recommendation to remove the drug's approval for treating the disease, the WSJ reports. The FDA made that recommendation in December, saying that the drug hasn't been shown to be safe and effective against breast cancer.
Tackling Disparities: The federal government is today announcing a plan to address socioeconomic health disparities, the Associated Press reports. Among the elements of the plan: increasing access to preventive dental care for poor children and new studies to figure out which treatments for chronic diseases work best in specific minority groups.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 mediates induction of corneal alloimmunity.
Laboratory of Immunology, Schepens Eye Research Institute and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School, 20 Staniford Street, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
There are no studies so far linking molecular regulation of lymphangiogenesis and induction of adaptive immunity. Here, we show that blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) signaling significantly suppresses corneal antigen-presenting (dendritic) cell trafficking to draining lymph nodes, induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity and rejection of corneal transplants. Regulating the function of VEGFR-3 may therefore be a mechanism for modulating adaptive immunity in the periphery.

Cheney: KSM Trial in NYC Will Make Him 'a Hero in Certain Circles'
By Louise Radnofsky
The outspoken former vice president predicts in an interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity that trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City will make the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks "as important or more important than Osama bin Laden."
"He'll be able to go in whenever he's up on the stand and proselytize, if you will, millions of people out there around the world including some of his radical Muslim friends and generate a whole new generation of terrorists," Cheney tells Hannity, according to highlights of the interview released by Fox News.
"I think it will make Khalid Sheikh Mohammed something of a hero in certain circles, especially in the radical regions of Islam around the world. It will put him on the map. He'll be as important, or more important, than Osama bin Laden, and we will have made it possible."
Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com.
The White House had no immediate comment on Cheney's remarks.
Other things Cheney doesn't like: President Barack Obama bowing to foreign leaders, and his "hesitation, uncertainty, lack of clarity" on Afghanistan. "There's never been a nation like the United States of America in world history, and yet when you have a president who goes around and bows to his hosts and then proceeds to apologize profusely for the United States, I find that deeply disturbing. That says to me this is a guy who doesn't fully understand or share that view of American exceptionalism that I think most of us believe in," he says.
As for Afghanistan, setting a 2011 date to begin withdrawal is "better than withdrawal now," he says, though he adds that he thinks it vindicates an al Qaeda strategy that "if you kill enough Americans, you can change American policy."
Cheney also holds back on naming contenders for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, offering this explanation: "At this point 'd be reluctant to pinpoint anybody. It might hurt them more than it would help them, coming from me."
