History was made April 19 as the all-female Bowl Mor Lanes team won the Greater Syracuse League overall title at Bowl Mor.
Bowl Mor defeated Summitt Machine, 2-1, to become the first-ever female team to win the GSL crown in the 50-year history of the league. Summit Machine won the City Division and Bowl Mor won the Suburban Division.
The Bowl Mor team is Sherry McClusky, Rosa Moro, Tina Becciu, Janice McCarthy and Jen Creno although Gary Cunningham subbed for Rosa Moro, who is sidelined with a leg injury.
GSL secretary Joe DiBello reported that the championship match was very close and the third game was decided in the 10th frame.
Members of Summitt Machine are Glenn MacDougall, Mike Hartmann, Chris McGilvray, Doug Wallace, and Jay Seymour.
Carbone rolls two perfect games
Shawn Carbone had a big night April 15 at Flamingo Bowl as he rolled two 300 games en route to a 856 series. Carbone rolled 300, 256 and 300.
Carbone's 856 series just fell short of the high series for the year in the Syracuse Bowling Association. Rob Sposato still owns the top score (858), which he fired at the Van Wie Doubles Tournament in January at B'ville Sports Bowl.
Feldman ends the year with a win
Michelle Feldman, of Auburn, captured the PBA Women's Series Showdown at the International Training and Research Center in Texas on April 18.
Feldman, who has 11 Professional Women's Bowlers Association titles to her credit, defeated Shannon Pluhowsky, of Ohio, and Stefanie Nation, of Texas, for a $25,000 first prize. The season-ending tournament was broadcasted on ESPN.
The tournament used the unique Petraglia Scoring System. The Petraglia system awards one point for each ball throw to complete a frame, with the lowest score winning.
Feldman was among the six qualifiers for the tourney by virtue of a fourth-place finish in Scorpion Championships earlier in the year. For more on the tournament, go to bowl.com.

Brian Friel was born on 9 or 10 January 1929 in Killyclogher, County Tyrone. The registration of his name as Bernard Patrick, rather than Brian, may reflect a general tendency in Northern Ireland at that time to discourage the registration of Gaelic names, suggesting that Friel's examination of split subjectivity in his work may be rooted in the polemicised and separatist politics which characterised the society into which he was born. Arguably this fostered in him a sense of the instability of identity, as his birth certificate reflects a compromise between the binary polar positions that characterised Northern Irish politics. Friel's family background and education also contributed to his problematic sense of identity. Although b…

NASCAR fans understand the danger of a sport in which speeds approach 200 mph and drivers are racing door-to-door and trading paint on a regular basis.
Indeed, a major part of NASCAR's appeal has always been the element of danger. Fans often cheer for wrecks and some race-goers are disappointed if they have the misfortune of attending a clean race.
Thankfully, crashes as horrific as the ones shown here are few and far between. But when it comes to racking up the YouTube playcounts these bone-rattling NASCAR clips lead the way.
Without further ado, I present the 13 scariest crashes in NASCAR history.

The Government We Deserve
Sixteen Days in January: A Story of the Next Shutdown
By Gene Steuerle | 10/17/2013, 7:36 p.m.
Day 11. Treasury Department. In response to the House Oversight Committee's hearings, Treasury's Inspector General issues report that Republicans were indeed targeted, indicating as proof that their delayed refund checks were bigger on average than those for Democrats. However, no crime was committed, he asserts.
Day 12. White House. President issues a statement that IRS targeting of Republicans is inexcusable. Fires top IRS data processing personnel and replaces commissioner with top executive from Avon Products with an unblemished record in taxes and data processing because she has never worked in either field.
Day 13. Sacramento. Governor Brown announces that millions of Californians are now insured under Obamacare. He asks that no penalties be assessed on those getting thousands of dollars in excess benefits since recordkeeping was impossible. On Meet the Press, Senator Cruz expresses amazement that the shutdown he favored affects every government program but Obamacare.
Day 14. White House. President Obama launches new peace initiative. He asks Hassan Rouhani of Iran and Bashar al-Assad of Syria to hire their own nuclear and chemical weapons inspectors, claiming that the U.S. shouldn't have to pay to clean up other countries' messes. President Putin offers to mediate and contribute Russian oil revenues.
Day 15. Capitol. Boehner found. Claims, like always, he knew exactly where he stood. Negotiates agreement with president on a continuing resolution to fund government until after congressional elections. Congress then shuts itself down until December 2014.
Day 16. Russell Senate Office Building. Before departing, Chairman Camp of the Ways and Means Committee and Chairman Baucus of the Senate Finance Committee issue a 6,700-page document with complex details on how to structure a major tax reform. Congressional leaders promise to take up issue immediately…in the next Congress.

College Policies I Reassignment
Washington College recognizes the need for flexibility in regard to each employee's position and the goals and objectives of the department and the College. The director and supervisor(s) of a department may decide to reorganize or change materially the duties and responsibilities of the personnel in a department or of an individual employee in order to best utilize each individual's skill sets and to better meet the department's goals and objectives. It is also commonplace for position descriptions to include the phrase "other duties as assigned." This means employees may be required to perform tasks that are beyond the scope of the position's core function.
A supervisor may rewrite a position description when these duties become the norm and increase the scope of the employee's job. In advance of any changes to a position description or reorganization within the department, the supervisor(s) will meet with the employee(s) involved to discuss the proposed changes. A revised position description must be submitted to the Director of Human Resources for approval before it is discussed with the employee.
If an employee's employment status changes materially, a new letter of appointment will be written to confirm the change. For minor changes, a Personnel Change Form will be used to document the change. The employee will receive a copy of the appointment or Personnel Change Form and the original will be placed in the employee's personnel file.

Welcome to South Shore Community Acupuncture
Affordable Acupuncture for Adults and Children
What is Community Acupuncture?
Community acupuncture is a nationwide movement to create access to acupuncture by making treatments affordable. You receive your acupuncture treatment while you rest in a comfortable recliner or table in our serene community treatment room. We use acupuncture points on the head, ear and below the elbows and knees to treat the entire body, so there's no need to undress – just remove your shoes and roll up your pants and sleeves. We can even address your back pain by treating points on your hands and feet. You will be with other people quietly receiving treatment at the same time. Patients benefit many ways from the community setting. In our busy society, it is not often we stop and take time to relax while surrounded by our peers. This is not a lack of privacy but an opportunity to experience treatment with family, friends and community. The shared experience makes individual treatments more powerful. Young children and infants may be treated in individual rooms dependent on their needs.
What can I expect during my first acupuncture treatment?
During your initial consultation and treatment, your acupuncturist will spend some time with you talking about your health history, chief complaints and your goals for optimum health. Your practitioner will then give you a treatment plan that will include a series of acupuncture treatments over a certain period of days, weeks or months. Each person's treatment plan may be different depending on the severity of your condition.
Do you treat children?
Absolutely! Children under the age of 7 may receive a very gentle, non-insertive technique called Shonishin. Children age 7 and older may be ready for regular acupuncture treatments with just a few gentle needles.
Initial Appointment: $40
Follow-ups: $25
Chinese Herbal Consult: $25 + cost of herbs
Missed Appointment Fee: Cost of Treatment (24 hours notice required for cancellation)
Our goal is to keep acupuncture treatments affordable.
We do not accept insurance, however, we are happy to give you receipts or superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
We accept cash, checks and credit cards (MC, Visa, Amex, Discover and Flexible Spending Accounts).
We are open:

Plumbing Los Gatos aid is consistently needed, but many residents do not factor in Los Gatos plumbing expert assistance as important, until there's an urgent situation. The demand for Los Gatos plumbing help can't be anticipated, but it's extremely important to factor in it before an urgent Plumbing Los Gatos situation strikes.
Many people appoint cheap Los Gatos plumbing aid without checking the dependability of the plumbing Los Gatos Company. It may be disastrous for your Los Gatos plumbing system as well as your wallet. Plumbing Los Gatos service is often low quality, and should be completed again at added costs, due to the Los Gatos plumbing contractor's services not equipped to deal with the problem skillfully.
If you choose to cheap or not at first, you'll always end up with a trustworthy, skilled plumbing Los Gatos contractor service, which will repair the damage done by multiple unprofessional Los Gatos plumbing contractors.

What materials did you use? Colorful Turquoise Coin Beads, 20 gauge silver wire, and a silver plated toggle clasp
What are you most proud of? The results! I am still perfecting my skill on this technique, but I think I am doing it pretty well, considering that it is only my 2nd project with open swirls... or swirls of any kind!
You're doing a lovely job! It doesn't look as if you've hammered your wire, though, so I'm wondering -- did you harden it in some other way? (I do a little wirework, too, so I'm curious!)
That piece was not hammered; I just got my bench block and hammer the other day.
I absolutely love how simple yet elegant this is. What was the length of your wires? I'm sure it differs depending on the bead size. It's beautiful!

Andy, I'm very happy to hear this.
some time ago you gave a donation mechanism to give funds to roadie's orphanage.
they will need it now.
how do i donate to them ?
geoff, australia
There is a donate link on their webpage.
I just reread your post on the orphanage in Hati . I hope they made it ok. Sent a small donation
Tough job even in the best of times.
I am reluctant to give charity to disaster relief for various reasons, not the least of it is the fact that my government is so willing to give others my money without my permission.
Realistically though, the real issue is not knowing who to give it to, as there are so many scams out there, and so much corruption even with the legitimate programs. What I look for is a program that I know will get the $$$ directly to those in real need, without waste. There are a few that I give to on a regular basis. My belief is that it would be best if everyone chose just a few specific charities to give a decent chunk of money to each.
Thank you for giving me a specific charity that appears to be one of those charities. Please keep in contact with them, and let us know how they do in these difficult times. Global news is too overwhelming, but hearing about one tiny corner can be almost like hearing from family.
I think it would be a good thing to put up a post reminding all of the donation link for this place, as it might help give readers the incentive to donate. One click makes it easier, therefore more likely.
Bob L
Uncle Andy,
I am very thankful that you are ok. It is also great news that the orphans have been brought into safety and provided for! I heard about your friend Roadie. She is just as cute as I imagined. I am proud of you.

- Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies
- She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness
- She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
I am in desperate need of some T.I.M.E. with God.
I've had a roller coaster of a summer, and I've been really struggling with disappointed expectations--both my own as well as those of others. I feel like I've gone from strengths backward to weakness--physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Right now, I'm in the valley. Can you tell?
- I can't seem to order my days rightly.
- I'm disorganized and messy and distracted and pre-occupied.
- I have grand plans but little follow-through.
- I've been upset with circumstances beyond my control.
- I seem to always be taking two steps forward and three steps back--not just in one area but in many.
- I'm disappointed with myself--with choices I've made--some of them in times past, some of them more recent.
I was just thinking, though, of words from an old song that goes "in the valley, He restoreth my soul".
And then I think of the part of the part of Psalm 23, where it says "He preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemy".
Right now I am my own worst enemy, no question. But I am thankful that He brings me to places of quiet and stillness, and that He does bring restoration to my soul.
Until next time...

Ebony Wines Olenik Vineyard Pinot noir 2011
$43.95 Regular
Andy and I just cracked the 2011 Olenik Vineyard Pinot noir and it rocks. Chris Mazepink's style gravitates towards the robust; it works nicely with the cooler 2011 vintage. Sporting a nose of exotic spices and caramel, beaming with redness -- fresh cherry and raspberry coulis -- finishing with grated nutmeg and thyme. No doubt benefitting from extra time in the bottle, the 2011 Olenik is showy now though I expect another 1-2 years of cellaring will kick it up a notch. - Marcus
2010 vintage tasting notes: Succulent, intense, round, mouthcoating, juicy, fresh. And that's just the beginning. With the first sip of Chris's new Olenik Vineyard Pinot I'm taken back to Chris's Shea 2006 Pommard Pinot noir (Chris was formerly winemaker at Shea Wine Cellars and made some of their finest wines.) Just like the Shea, the 2010 Olenik is 100% Pommard.
The 2010 Olenik is supple, with black fruit and a rich, velvety texture. It introduces itself with an intense aroma of dried cherries, dusty cocoa, and blackstrap molasses, all while maintaining a sense of freshness and a hint of violets.
If you like your wine lush, round, juicy and full, with layer after layer of flavor, this is the Pinot noir for you. - Jean
below, Ebony's Chris Mazepink with his palette of barrels, ready to blend
Here's what Chris Mazepink said about the 2010 Ebony Olenik last week:
"A few days ago, we opened a bottle of the 2010 Olenik Vineyard Pinot Noir for the first time since it was bottled. As the cork was pulled, and the wine poured, I was standing about six feet away. But it felt like I was much closer than that as the room was literally engulfed by intoxicating aromas: a medley of black fruits, brown sugar, dried black cherries and even a touch of molasses. As I brought the wine up to my nose, these aromas were confirmed and I even detected a slight kiss of orange oil in the bouquet."
"Simply put, these are some of the most compelling fragrances that I have ever found in the noble Pinot Noir grape!!!" - Chris Mazepink
2009 Vintage
Chris Mazepink has started his own winery, Ebony.
Chris's Pinot noirs are a lot like the wines he made at Shea Wine Cellars but he�s developed his own unique style.
With the single vineyard Olenik, he�s working with the vineyard�s unique soil - and makes a fascinating, distinctive Pinot from it. The wine has soft, full hints of minerals, a very intriguing nose that�s not fruit, not spice, but something a lot more interesting.
The mineral notes are not the often found slate/earth flavors. The fruit is hard to tie down - fleshy blackberry - is that possible? And there're a hint of pomegranate and plum. Long layers of undefinable spice merge with more minerals on the finish. At $45 it�s worth more.
The Olenik is one of a kind - Chris has a singular style that takes all of the round, full flavored fruit center typical of his Shea wines and goes one better. - Jean
Olenik Vineyard is a rocky site owned by winemaker Chris Mazepink with relatives. He describes it as unique, and notes that some of the most famous vineyards in the world have a high rock content.
The winery name "Ebony" was inspired by the dense, hard black wood of India and Sri Lanka. Chris saw an elephant on his parent's dining room table made from ebony and was struck with the strong, elegant, rich, smooth qualities that match what he strives to achieve with his wines.

An American Grill with Mediterranean Flair
"Eat, Drink, See, and Be Seen"
Complete with entrees set for international flight (lasagna, haddock portofino) alongside classic American appetizers (bacon cheeseburgers, buffalo wings), Park Grill & Spirits restaurant in Worcester is all about what the people want.
Owner Dino Singas calls his restaurant, "An American Grill with Mediterranean Flair," in reference to the variety of beautifully-made and delicious dishes that Park Grill & Spirits prides itself upon. Their haddock portofino, as a wonderful example, is an entrée covered in fresh artichokes, complete with peppers, garlic, lemon, and a lovely butter wine sauce (with sides of both potato and rice pilaf). Nevertheless, perhaps it is a bowl of warm, cheesy nachos that is better suited for the Worcester crowd this Friday night? Either way, enjoy dishes from here, there, and the other side of the globe, at Park Grill & Spirits.
Including four uniquely distinct sections for whatever your restaurant heart does desire:
The Outdoor Patio: At the front of Park Grill & Spirits, the outdoor patio serves as a place to unwind and relax under beautiful trees with fantastic food and great company. Take in the Worcester sights and then take it easy.
Full Bar: Sit down for a drink with the party crowd, listen to a local musician, or cheer on the Patriots over those cheesy nachos with your friends at Park Grill & Spirits full interior bar.
Dining Area: The dining room is perfect for those looking to have a more solitary and tranquil Park Grill & Spirits experience. Eat a good-quality meal with the family, finally get that quiet night out away from the kids, or maybe even meet up with a new fling.
Function Room: Known for its privacy, the function room acts as Park Grill & Spirits own exclusive area to accommodate comedians, weddings, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, and more. Located on the second floor and entailed to hold up to sixty people.
Inspired by the social atmosphere of its picnicking neighbor, Elm Park, Park Grill & Spirits looks to emphasize all the needs and wants of every Worcester, MA local, or visiting an out of state friend, that walks through its doors.

Explore Wickford, Rhode Island — home to the annual summer Wickford Art Festival — with its historic homes, scenic harbor, shopping, and more!
You must love a harbor specked with sailboats, embrace dogs of every nation, and enjoy strolling through the 1700s—or the charms of Wickford, Rhode Island will elude you.
If, however, such things appeal, the weekend of July 9-10, 2016 might be the perfect time to indulge. You can enjoy Wickford at the height of summer season, while the village is saturated in the ultimate arts experience: the yearly Wickford Art Festival. This major event draws over 200 artists from around the country, descending on a town festooned with artwork and popup tents. With this as the backdrop.
Here's the backstory. Just 25 minutes from the bustle of Providence and Newport, RI, is an echo of bygone times and a Main Street so authentic it's been called one of America's 10 best. But the real heart of historic Wickford, settled in 1637, is its harbor, a deep-blue indentation halfway down Narragansett Bay. Wickford Harbor insinuates itself into the center of the village, sidling around to the far end of Main Street and reaching under the bridge at Brown Street to drift alongside the casual Tavern By the Sea restaurant.
Pleasant Street shoots down to a boat launch sandwiched between the Yacht Club and a classic boatyard. There really is water everywhere, if you'll excuse the trite and true.
You almost have to close your eyes to not see water, slivered between gaily-painted houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. The houses have a lively presence of their own. It's one of the densest collections of historic homes in New England, with buildings wearing placards that bear names like Remington Straight, Jabez Bullock, and countless others–reminders that this iconic town and Main Street were centuries in the making.
Speaking of massive collections, are dogs a requirement here?
"It's one of the bylaws," says a man out walking his Golden Retriever. The two of them are stopped in front of Shaggy Chic, a dogtique on Main Street. "I come here once a week to walk my dog."
Well you would, too. This seaport nugget has been named One of America's Ten Best Main Streets, in Remembering Main Street, by Pat Ross.
It also served as the model for John Updike's novel The Witches of Eastwick, but that's heading into a whole other dimension…. Meanwhile, here are some more reasons why this village is so bewitching.
You can have your morning coffee in full view of paddling swans at the Beach Rose Café, overlooking a harbor darting with sailboats and kayaks;
take your lunch on the water across the street at Tavern By the Sea (dogs wait tableside with infinite patience for good fortune to drop their way);
rent a kayak right in the center of Wickford at The Kayak Centre, and thread your way through the fishing vessels and sailboats scattered around the harbor;
and top it off with a few leisurely forays into the tawny brick shops that are postcard stand-ins for Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, only here you'll be scooping up kitchen goods, garden salvage, dog treats, and 60s nostalgia instead of magic wands.
Inspiration is on hand in decorating shops and antiques corners. This place, The Wickford Collection on Main Street, is a living still-life everywhere you look, and attracts an unexpected variety of shoppers, as you will see.
Given Wickford's charms, it should come as no surprise that the village hosts such a major yearly arts festival every summer. It's the perfect setting, really. There could be no lovelier canvas than Wickford itself.
Have you ever visited historic Wickford, Rhode Island?

TRENTON — As New Jerseyans worried about getting power back and rebuilding homes in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, thousands of residents apparently had yet another concern: businesses illegally jacking up prices.
State officials announced today that the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs received more complaints about alleged price gouging — 2,164 to be exact — than any other issue in 2012.
All of those grievances came after Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency Oct. 27 as Sandy stormed toward New Jersey. Residents inundated the state with complaints about unusually high prices at gas stations, hotels and other businesses over the final two months of the year.
"We alerted consumers to look out for price gouging before Superstorm Sandy and encouraged them to contact us if they saw prices jump more than 10 percent," New Jersey Attorney General Jeff Chiesa said in a statement. "Our top priority immediately following Sandy was investigating these complaints, and we confirmed that a relatively small number of businesses allegedly did gouge consumers."
So far, the attorney general's office has filed 24 lawsuits against businesses for alleged price gouging.
Finding gas, in particular, was a problem that plagued New Jersey in Sandy's wake. Not only were there issues getting fuel into the state, but many gas stations were left without power.
Thus, cars lined up — sometimes for a mile — at stations that had a supply. And gas prices across the state rose 10-15 cents more than the national average in the month after the storm, said Cathleen Lewis, a spokeswoman for AAA.
Still, Lewis noted that didn't mean every station was gouging prices.
"We had members that called and said someone charged them an exorbitant amount for gas," she said. "But many of those stations were the only ones that had gas and electricity for 20 miles. There's a difference between saying someone charged $3.67 when the national average was $3.60, compared to someone who was charging $4."
Home improvements drew the second-most complaints among New Jersey consumers last year with 1,528. Chiesa noted that he expects home improvement complaints to rise as residents continue to rebuild from Sandy's destruction.
"We will continue to protect those New Jersey residents affected by Sandy so they can focus on rebuilding their lives without the fear of being scammed," Eric T. Kanefsky, the acting director of the state Division of Consumer Affairs, said in a statement.
The rest of the Top 10 complaints include: motor vehicles (1,349), telemarketing (845), loans (414), professional services (338), debt collection (304), Internet sales/goods (264), banks/financial (240), health clubs (214).
In all, the department received 14,416 complaints last year.

Clarkson in no rush to become country star
There's a reason Kelly Clarkson has performed duets with country superstars like Reba McEntire, Jason Aldean and Vince Gill but never one of her Top 40 colleagues in the 10 years since she became the first "American Idol." They've turned her down -- eight times.
"I have, like, 5,000 duets in country music," Clarkson said, flashing a smile. "I don't have one in pop. That's legitimately because everyone turns me down. I'm not even kidding. I've asked so many artists to sing with me. Everyone turns me down! The only one who hasn't was Chris Daughtry."
The sugary sweet pop star who's called Nashville, Tenn., home for the past six years isn't naming names. And much to the dismay of fans, her collaborations with fellow "Idol" alum Daughtry were never released.
While she hasn't exactly been able to hook up with the perfect pop ally, Clarkson has found a partner outside the recording studio.
When asked what's affected her life most over the past 10 years, other than winning the "Idol" prize, Clarkson doesn't hesitate to say it's falling in love with boyfriend Brandon Blackstock.
He's a Nashville-based talent manager whose father is Clarkson's manager. His stepmother is Reba McEntire.
"I completely fell in love," Clarkson said. "Welcome to Cheeseville! I did. Your priorities kind of shift, and you become happier, and all that stuff. It's probably my best accomplishment because I think, for me, especially, I just didn't think it would happen. It's like one of those cheesy love songs that didn't exist, but it does, so that's cool."
Clarkson, 30, said she and Blackstock never go two weeks without seeing each other. Though he's changed her life, she doesn't expect her lovey-dovey relationship status to end her fondness for man-hating tracks like "Miss Independent" and "Mr. Know It All."
She points to thumping new tune "People Like Us" from her upcoming "Greatest Hits -- Chapter One," out Monday.
"He's totally going to tick me off at some point, right?" Clarkson said. "I'll write about it."
It's what she does.

A Hoboken artist is commemorating the memory of fabled "Maxwell's" music club with a limited run of 20 screen prints depicting the fabled club.
The dark and moody print entitled "Maxwell's," by Ricardo Roig, shows a scene with customers sitting at the bar and tables at the restaurant/club that is set to close at the end of the month.
Completed at the end of last week, "Maxwell's" is the latest edition of Roig's "Mile Square Series" of limited editions screen prints that provide abstract takes on familiar scenes from around Hoboken.
"I tried my best to capture music's colors as it moved through the atmosphere through layers of transparent acidic colors," Roig said.
Roig, a music fan who compared Maxwell's to CGBG's, the Manhattan club that closed in 2006 after more than 30 years in business, said he wants to preserve the memory of the club that he loved to go to.
Roig, who uses hand-cut paper stencils to make his prints, makes just 20 prints in a series because he says the templates begin to disintegrate after that.
The 30-by-20 inch works are being sold for $425 each at Tresorie Custom Faming, at 1204 Washington St. in Hoboken.
Maxwell's co-owner Todd Abramson's announcement last month that he'd soon be shutting the doors shocked the music world.Describing Maxwell's as an "indie-rock mecca" with a "love for the underdogs," Rolling Stone" music magazine's website recently rated the club as the third best club in America.
The club provided venues for indie bands like Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth and the Minutemen in the 1980s and grunge acts like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the 1990s, Rolling Stone said.
Bruce Springsteen filmed parts of the video for his 1985 hit "Glory Days" at the club.
Abramson, who will continue to operate the larger Bell House in Brooklyn, said he is planning a hold the final concert with members of members of the Bongos, who played on opening night at the club.
Roig's work along with 19 other artists can be seen the outdoor "Art on the Fence" exhibition on Sinatra Drive near 11th Street at the Toll Brothers City Living Maxwell Place development.

Hey, We Got a Few James Beard Award Nominations. No Big Deal, Right?
Photograph by Jason Lowe
Don't mind us. We're trying not to sound too excited, but we had to tell someone.
We found out a little while ago that we were nominated for four (!) James Beard Awards. (In case you don't know, the JBAs are like the Oscars of food if you take away the really famous people, but add really cool people who know their ways around a menu and aren't afraid to throw back a few drinks.) In addition to two general category nominations, food coverage and visual storytelling, two individual pieces got shout-outs:
Nominated for best personal essay, we have Prune chef Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood, Bones, and Baked Eggplant from our May 2011 Italy issue. If you've read her book, you know what a jaw-droppingly good writer she is. We were very happy to land this exclusive piece in BA.
And for best profile, Adam Sachs's Faviken Rising in our September restaurant issue. This was an office favorite. Sachs describes the restaurant's charismatic chef, the quirky locals (Mr. Duck), and the bone-deep sense of place in a way that reminds us why we have him write for us in the first place.
Wish us luck. Though really, we already feel lucky.

Area Catholics celebrate election of new pope
ACADIA PARISH - After a day of waiting for the white smoke to rise from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, the thousands of Catholics from around the world who made the trip to Italy didn't have to wait as long as some projected to see who would be elected the as head of the world's Roman Catholics.
Pope Francis I, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergolio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was introduced to the throngs of people in Vatican City at approximately 2:30 p.m. CST Wednesday.
Pope Francis I becomes the 266th pontiff to serve the 1.2 billion Catholics world wide.
The archbishop of Buenos Aires is the Argentine-born son of an Italian railway worker. Seen as a compassionate conservative, he reportedly came in second during the 2005 balloting that ultimately elected Benedict XVI.
When spoken to at the St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church rectory, Father Mikel Polson seemed downright giddy with the choice.
"I am in absolute awe at his opening ... I've was just watching it on television," said Fr. Polson. "He is the first from the Americas, the first Jesuit ... this is just incredible. I'm very pleased.
"For him to come out and ask the people to pray for him was a great sign of humility. That was the first time I've ever seen that," he added.
"We thank God for the gift of His Holiness, Pope Francis, and we thank Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., for his acceptance of the office of Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff," Bishop Michael Jarrell, Bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette, said in a written statement Wednesday afternoon. "Long live the Pope."

Using a single test to determine a child's future is wrong for many reasons, according to people who attended a Saturday rally.
Eighteen parents and teachers expressed their opposition to high-stakes standardized testing during a gathering sponsored by Texans for Quality Assessment at the Clarion Hotel. They voiced opinions, signed petitions and took materials for distributing.
Lena Lowery, whose daughter is a fifth-grader in Pampa, said a student's performance on a test such as Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills may not reflect the child's true abilities.
"Tests are fine, but don't put everything on one test taken on one day," Lowrey said. "A kid may have a bad day that day."
Standardized tests don't account for variations in how individual students learn, said Leesa Ryder, whose son is a third-grader at Sundown Lane Elementary School.
"We've all got learning disabilities of some kind," she said.
Her son is better at math than reading, but even the math questions in the practice tests are reading based, she said. He learns better by doing what someone shows him than by what he reads, she said.
Teachers should be the ones determining what students are tested over, not the standardized tests and the politicians who favor them, Lowery said.
"They just don't have a clue. President Bush, Governor Perry, and (state) Senator Bivins don't know my daughter or what goes on in that classroom and how she needs to be tested. It's very frustrating," she said.
If the teachers need to be supervised in their testing, the schools would be better for doing it, she said.
Joy Larimore said preparing students for the test stresses and limits teachers she knows.
"They went to college because they love to teach, but they don't have time to be creative because they're on a schedule that's tight," she said.

Kalynn Spain and her horse
Kalynn Spain's passion and enthusiasm for farming isirresistible. In 2009, her uncle helpedto set her farm plans in motion when he offered her space to farm on his landin Manitoba. But for Kalynn, her dreambegan much earlier. "As a kid, I alwayswanted to live in the country. All of mypaintings and drawings were pictures of horses, pigs, and farmyards. That's where it all started," Kalynn laughs.
In 2011, Kalynn registered for the Exploring Your Small FarmDream course, offered by the Manitoba Farm Mentorship Program. The course helps aspiring farmers decide ifrunning a farm business is right for them. When asked how it has helped her, Kalynn says, "One thing that reallystuck out for me was quality of life. You need to take care of yourself so you can take care of your land,your animals, and your family." Thecourse confirmed for Kalynn that farming is her future and inspired her tobegin acquiring start-up resources and gathering people around her to help herfulfill her dream.
After completing the Exploring Your Small Farm Dream course,Kalynn was provided with an internship opportunity through the Manitoba FarmMentorship Program. This initiativeconnects aspiring farmers with experienced mentors and contributes to costsassociated with farmer training. Inreturn for the training she received through the Manitoba Farm MentorshipProgram, Kalynn passed on the gift by interning for 13 weeks on two mentorfarms. The internship helped hone herskills and further develop her farm plans. "I see my farm being very mixed," Kalynn says about her farm dream, "Isee vegetables. I see chickens and pigsfor sure… After spending a summer on acattle farm, I'm not sure about having cattle, but it's good that theexperience showed me that early on."
The Manitoba Farm Mentorship Program is a Heifer Canadaproject that provides training, networking, and resources for new and aspiringfarmers in Manitoba. Kalynn is one of 16interns, 30 Explorer course participants, and over 750 people who have attendedManitoba Farm Mentorship Program courses, workshops, farm tours and othertraining events.
Kalynn's involvement in the Manitoba Farm Mentorship Programhas only increased her passion for growing and raising food. "It's changed from a romantic dream tofeeling that it's something young people should be doing. It will make me happy. I will be contributing to society andimpacting people's lives."
"I want to be a role model," Kalynn says. "I think we need to engage more youngpeople. My generation needs to considerfarming as a career, consider its impact, and realize they can actually doit."

Ive been on a high fat, moderate protein and low carb diet in order to minimize MS symptoms. I know fat is good for the nervous system. However this month, I noticed I barely had any normal bleeding, just very light spotting that has lasted 8 days now.
I wonder if it is because Im in a state of ketosis or having very few carbs, definitely around <50. Maybe my body thought I was starving, or some hormonal shift happened so it decided not to bleed? Also maybe because Im autoimmune my body is already too taxed? Can I add a piece of fruit and still be in ketosis?

I herd about The Awesome Game 4 Attraktive People! You should have a land with several kingsdoms that are connected by dimensonal portals that connexct to other worlds like kingdom hearts and then you and you're friends all meet up with cartoon caracters and teem up with super fighting powers!!
That would be so great, Love,
FinalFastinyGirl16 (A.K.A BRITTNEY)
Strong Bad: You make a great couple of badly misspelled and grammatically woeful points there, BRITTNEY WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS.
I mean, why would I want to have a game based soley around my off-the-chart levels of awesome when I can just have one that just copies everything that those RectangleSoft company guys or the Smashing Brothers guys already did?
As great as it would be to have the mega-franchise team up game, I don't think that I wanna bother with all of those legal wranglings and multi-layered copyright trademark hogtyings, that it would take just to have to share screen time with a bunch of other well known characters that might threaten to shoehorn in on my style.
Hecks no to that! Also you should think about legal proceedings to change your name to being less caps lock-y. I doubt that middle school role call or company picnics can be very much fun for you when everyone has to shout your name loudly everywhere you go.
Oh it's all smiles and laughter at first but it's gotta get painfully old, sooner or later. Probably sooner than later.
Better just stick to that embarrassingly typoed, unoriginal screen name with the unnecessary number tacked on the end-action you got going on.

Gregory: Blackshirts a 'lot more confident' in 2014
We all know what Randy Gregory can do. In just five short months last fall he developed into perhaps the best pure pass rusher in the Big Ten; a guy who figured to give Nebraska's young offensive line fits this spring as it tried to replace four starters from 2013.
But watch spring practice and you'll see that it hasn't been quite the mismatch many would've thought thanks to the emergence of Alex Lewis. The Colorado transfer has entrenched himself at left tackle over the past few weeks, head-up against Gregory most of the time, and the newcomer brings plenty of fire to the daily competition.
"We've been going at it since day one," Gregory said. "We're making each other better. It's nothing personal or anything like that. We talk every day in the locker room. He's a great guy and he's got a great motor. He pushes me and I thank him for that. As long as he brings that intensity every day in practice, we will be all right."
It's not just the one-on-one match ups with Lewis that have Gregory's attention this spring, however. He says he's been impressed with how the defensive line as a unit has gone about its work. In particular, Gregory cited the development of a good group of young defensive tackles like Maliek Collins, Vincent Valentine, Aaron Curry and Kevin Maurice.
"I think we knew what we had coming into this year," Gregory said. "We have a lot of talent, especially with the defensive tackles. We have a lot of depth there. We're still trying to figure things outside with the defensive ends, but as a unit, we have a great group."
Collins, who has swung out to play defensive end in certain situations, also drew special recognition from Gregory with the junior saying Collins has made the biggest strides this spring.
Overall, the development up front along with a strong end to the 2013 season for the Blackshirts has led to a more comfortable unit defensively.
"We finished off [2013] pretty well defensively. We knew what we had coming back this year and then we came into this season a lot more confident and hopefully we can just carry that on to the beginning of the season," Gregory said.
A few other notes from Wednesday's practice:
–It seems the majority of drills are done in the nickel defense with Charles Jackson as the fifth defensive back. Less than half of the reps seem to happen in base defense with three linebackers. After spring break, junior college transfer corner Byerson Cockrell has been firmly with the 1's opposite Josh Mitchell at corner during the time we've got to watch.
–The most rotations seem to happen at linebacker, with Trevor Roach moving among the 1's, 2's and 3's. Zaire Anderson appears locked into a number 1 spot, with Josh Banderas spending the majority of snaps there and Michael Rose rotating in the middle. Roach, David Santos and freshman Courtney Love have also been in the outside linebacker cycle, with Roach taking what looks like the most snaps with the top unit.
–Maliek Collins has built his hype quite high with the praise he's gotten this week, and spends most drills repping with the top defensive line unit. The rest of the top defensive line usually consists of Randy Gregory, Vincent Valentine and Greg McMullen at defensive end. The current 2's appear to be Jack Gangwish and Joe Keels at defensive end with Aaron Curry, Kevin Maurice and Kevin Williams rotating in the middle. Keels returned to practice Wednesday after sitting out Monday for an undisclosed reason.
–With Drake Martinez missing another practice and Corey Cooper's injury that has kept him out of spring ball, the second-team defensive backfield looks different with a pair of in-state safeties. Junior Anthony Ridder and redshirt freshman Zach Stovall have filled in with Omaha native Joey Felici playing nickel. Jonathan Rose and redshirt freshman Boaz Joseph are still playing corner with the 2's.
–Nathan Gerry is literally making his voice heard and making the most of his snaps with the No. 1 defense in Corey Cooper's absence and playing well. Gerry can be seen on nearly any successful defensive play running around and waving his arms and yelling like a mad man. I thought he might lose it today when he grabbed an interception.
–Linebacker Michael Rose mentioned Courtney Love as one of the linebackers on the Nebraska defense who can play in a three-point stance in linebacker rush plays. Love spent most of his time with the 2's Wednesday, but played a few snaps in full-contact drills with the 1's.
