Zikhron Ya'akov, Palestine
Sarah Aaronsohn's story is one of personal courage and risk to further a cause. A Jewish woman who lived in Palestine thirty years before the state of Israel was founded, Aaronsohn risked her own safety to work as an intelligence agent (spy) during World War I. She helped provide vital war information to the British, in the hopes that the British would defeat the Ottoman Turks who ruled Palestine and help the Jewish people establish a homeland there. Though she died violently as a result of her efforts, her work helped save the lives of many British soldiers. She is honored as a hero in Israel and by many Jews around the world.

Kemal, Mustafa Atatürk
Salonika, in the Ottoman Empire
November 10, 1938
Istanbul, Turkey
Military leader, political leader, statesman
The name Atatürk means "Father of the Turks," and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk earned the title by devoting his life to making positive changes in his native land. Often called the founder of modern Turkey, Atatürk was a great general who defeated invading armies and led a revolution to gain independence for Turkey. He also was a great visionary who understood the kinds of changes that would be necessary for Turkey to join the new Europe that would emerge after World War I. As president of Turkey for fifteen years, Atatürk introduced many changes and reforms in Turkish law and society. Though some...

Flying ace, head recruiting officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force
Canadian Billy Bishop rose to great fame as a flying ace in World War I. With seventy-two victories, Bishop was second only to the Red Baron of Germany, whose record stood at eighty downed enemy planes. Bishop maintained his enthusiasm for flying throughout his lifetime, and as director of the air force during World War II (1939–45), he recruited thousands of airmen into the Canadian air force.

Cavell, Edith

Swardeston, Norfolk, England
October 12, 1915
Brussels, Belgium
Nurse, humanitarian, martyr
Accused of helping Allied prisoners escape their German captors during World War I, British-born nurse Edith Cavell was executed by a German firing squad in Brussels in 1915. Cavell had helped Belgian hospitals establish a modernized system of nursing education and patient care and had sheltered Allied soldiers in the clinic she supervised. Her death caught the notice of British propagandists (people who spread information to further or damage a cause), who portrayed this execution of a humanitarian as yet another example of German brutality. Cavell's death caused such a storm of protest that Kaiser Wilhelm (1859–1941) decreed that any future execution of a woman would require his...

Journalist George Creel was a pioneer in applying the tools of modern advertising and public relations to the cause of national unity during World War I. Within a week of the United States entering into the conflict, Creel was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) to head the Committee on Public Information (CPI), whose mission was to create a positive image of the American war effort in newspapers, magazines, motion pictures, and other media. During the Progressive Era, just before the war, Creel had served as the editor of several newspapers that supported Wilson's...

Yekaterinburg, Russia
Empress of Russia
Alexandra Fyodorovna was czarina, or empress, of Russia during a very turbulent time in history. Her husband, Czar Nicholas II, was a weak ruler with little interest in matters of state, and he was easily influenced by his strong-willed wife. Because Alexandra influenced the czar, who had absolute power over the lives of millions, the mistakes she made were magnified to huge proportions. Many people say that Alexandra was shallow and conceited. They blame her for prolonging the suffering of the Russian people and causing the fall of the czars of Russia. Others say that she was the product of a weak and corrupt system of royal families, but that she was basically a good woman who tried desperately to care for her...

It is a sad fact that the best-remembered detail of the life of Franz Ferdinand is his death. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the nephew of Austrian emperor Franz Josef (1830–1916) and the last heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Bosnia and Herzegovina was a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. While visiting the provincial capital of Sarajevo on official business, the archduke and his wife, Sophie, were killed by a Serbian named Gavrilo Princip (1894–1918). Princip belonged to a political group that was angered by Austro-Hun garian domination of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He felt that assassinating a high official of the empire would help Serbia's...

Marshal Ferdinand Foch had a great influence on the French military during his lifetime. Head of the national military academy for three years, he led several French regiments in many of the critical battles of World War I. Near the end of the war he was made head of all the Allied armies, and his bold strategies and strong will helped ensure the victory over Germany in 1918. Though many have disagreed with his philosophy and his tactics, Foch is still viewed as the single person most responsible for the Allied victory in World War I.

When World War I began, Douglas Haig was widely considered to be Britain's greatest soldier. However by war's end, Haig was just as widely considered a butcher, a distant leader who had sent hundreds of thousands of British youth to their deaths. Although the public view of Douglas Haig had been altered, Haig himself had not changed. From the start of his career he was entirely devoted to the principles of duty, honor, and hard work.

Teacher, journalist, political leader
Though his life was cut short by an assassin's bullet, Jean Jaurès made a lasting contribution to French politics. A brilliant teacher, writer, and political thinker, Jaurès was most importantly an idealist who believed that society's hope lay not in fighting or struggle but in the free thoughts and dreams of its working people. Perhaps the greatest testimony to Jau rès's enduring contribution is that dozens of schools all over France have been named after him. A strong supporter of free dom and excellence in education for all, Jaurès might have been proudest of this legacy.

During a career that lasted more than sixty years, Prussianborn Käthe Kollwitz created a large number of prints and drawings that earned her a reputation as one of the most important graphic artists of her era. Some of her works depict the impact of World War I on women and children and make a powerful statement about the horror of the war. Kollwitz was the daughter of liberal parents who instilled in her a lifelong hatred of militarism (the buildup of military power by governments) and social injustice. Kollwitz created works that reflected her concern for the oppressed, especially the suffering people in her own country. Among her earliest...

The Austrian-born musician Fritz Kreisler was the world's leading violinist in the first decades of the twentieth century. He became especially popular with U.S. audiences in 1888 after his Boston and New York debuts as a twelve-year-old prodigy (a highly talented child). When World War I broke out in 1914, he served briefly in the Austrian army and was wounded in combat against the Russians. He was on a U.S. concert tour in 1917 when the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allies, which was composed of France, Great Britain, Russia, and later the United States. Because of Kreisler's previous war service, he was branded an "enemy alien" by many American...

Scholar, writer, soldier, and adventurer, Thomas Edward Lawrence became an unwilling figure of exotic romance and daring during World War I. A student and admirer of Arab culture, Lawrence devoted his young adulthood to trying to help the Arab people achieve independence. The failure to achieve this goal, however, left him broken and disappointed, and he spent the rest of his life trying to escape the fame and public adoration that he had never wanted. Though many people honored him as a glamorous hero, others thought he was a conceited fraud who did not deserve the place he was given in history, as Lawrence of Arabia.

Born into a Russia that still had one foot in the Middle Ages (A.D. 500–c. 1500), he led a political movement that became the revolution that created the Soviet Union. Though many people criticize Lenin as a dictator and a terrorist, it must be acknowledged that he developed the practical theory of modern communism, organized the defeat of one of the most brutal monarchies in the world, and began the process that would make the Soviet Union a modern nation. Lenin dreamed of a world where working people would control their own governments. Though his dream has not been realized yet, his work and...

German general
By August 1916 the German army was struggling to survive a war it thought it should be winning. The great assault on the French fortresses at Verdun—which German general Erich von Falkenhayn (1861–1922) thought would "bleed France white" and crush the Allies' will to fight—had turned into a six-month-long bloodbath. German military and political leaders pushed Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859–1941), the German emperor, for a change. Late in August, the kaiser called on the country's two most illustrious military leaders: General Paul von Hindenburg (1847–1934) and his second in command, General Erich Ludendorff. Hindenburg and Ludendorff had become heroes by beating the...

Mata Hari

Leeuwarden, Netherlands
October 15, 1917
Paris, France
Exotic dancer and courtesan
Mata Hari has gone down in history as one of the most notorious and exotic spies involved in World War I. Yet there is some evidence that her celebrated conviction for spying for the German army may have been based on false evidence. In fact, Mata Hari may not have been a spy at all. Rather, it is possible that she was a victim of a frantically suspicious world at war; unable to see the danger around her, she may have trapped herself in an attempt to make quick money. The whole truth about Mata Hari may never be known, but she was a flamboyant woman with a flair for the dramatic, so perhaps she would be pleased to know that her legend and her mystery live on.

Soldier and poet
Some of the most powerful descriptions of war were written during World War I by the so-called war poets, mostly British soldiers in their twenties who wrote while fighting in France. Wilfred Owen is one of the most important war poets. He wrote eloquently about his service as an officer during the Battle of the Somme, which forced him to wrestle with the conflicts he saw between his duty as a soldier and his deep religious and pacifist beliefs. (Pacifists object to war as a means of settling disputes.) Owen strongly criticized the tragedy of war in his writings, but he fulfilled his military duty out of loyalty to his fellow soldiers.

General John Joseph Pershing is most famous for something he never said. The story goes that when he arrived in France in 1917, at the head of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), he dramatically declared, "Lafayette, we are here!" This was a reference to the Marquis de Lafayette (1757–1834), the French general who crossed the Atlantic during the American Revolution (1775–83) to fight alongside George Washington. More than a hundred years later, Pershing and the American forces were returning the favor—but it wasn't Pershing who made the stirring statement of this fact; it was one of his colonels, Charles Stanton. Indeed, such a statement would have been...

Henri-Philippe Pétain had already lived a full life before historic events made him first a hero and then a traitor to the homeland he had loved and served. World War I broke out in Europe as Pétain was nearing the age of sixty and thinking of retirement from his military career. He postponed retirement to lead his troops, and his victories made the people of France love him. Decades later, as World War II (1939–45) raged, France again called on the aging Pétain, and he became premier (position like that of prime minister) of a French republic at war against Hitler's Germany. Positive the Germans could not be defeated, Pétain made a...

The short, intense life of Baron Manfred von Richthofen is perhaps a testament to one of the many great tragedies of war: Too many of its heroes die young. An enthusiastic sportsman in childhood, Richthofen became a skilled and deadly hunter of men as a German fighter pilot during World War I. A dedicated soldier, he helped his country's cause with his many victories in the air. He was a dramatic hero who would inspire German troops in two world wars and earn respect even from his...

Eddie Rickenbacker is perhaps best remembered as the young World War I flying ace, pictured leaning against a plane in coveralls and a leather helmet, smiling with cocky self-assurance. Though he had countless brushes with death and may have seemed the kind of hero likely to die young, Rickenbacker survived two wars and lived to be eighty-two years old. During his lifetime, he saw the birth of the automobile and the airplane. He fell in love with those technologies, worked in the industries that produced them, and played a major part in making both automobile and airplane travel accessible to the average American.

Poet, soldier
American poet Alan Seeger is best remembered for "I Have a Rendezvous with Death," a poem that foreshadowed Seeger's death in battle during World War I. Seeger lived a bohemian (unconventional) lifestyle in New York's Greenwich Village before moving to France in 1912. When war broke out in 1914, he was one of the first Americans to enlist in the French Foreign Legion (a branch of the French military open to foreigners). In letters to his family and to American periodicals, he expressed the idealism and courage of many young men of his generation who answered the call of duty in World War I. On the Fourth of July 1916, nearly a year before the United States entered the war, came Seeger's own death, as he fell in battle while trying to liberate a French village...

Stumpf, Richard
Born 1892
German seaman
"This hitherto unknown sailor had filled the most conspicuous gap in German war literature by describing for the first time the response of the great masses of men in the army, the navy, and in industry to the social, economic, and political upheaval caused by the war."
—From Daniel Horn, ed. and trans., War, Mutiny and
Richard Stumpf was an ordinary German soldier, but he wrote an extraordinary diary. Unlike the officers and politicians who wrote memoirs for publication, Stumpf only wrote for himself. Instead of writing so that the world would remember him well or to "set the record straight," Stumpf wrote to amuse and entertain himself, to vent his anger, and to record what he knew about the war. He wrote daily and sometimes hourly to stave off the boredom of being an enlisted seaman from 1914 to the end of World War I. His diary stands as the best description of the life of a regular enlisted German during the war and the collapse of the Ger man Empire in 1918. No other account so accurately cap tures the little man's perspective. Stumpf's diary was the only personal history used by the Reichstag Investigating Com mittee in 1926 as it researched the causes of the two German navy mutinies (sailors not following the orders of their com manding officers) in 1917 and 1918 and the...

Writer, memoirist
"It is a great trial to me to write to inform you that your husband was killed this morning… . He has been so much my support through this difficult—and to me, uncongenial —work, and he has been so wise and kind in the help he has given me."
—John Thorburn, in a letter to Helen Thomas dated April 9, 1917, relating the death of her husband, Edward Thomas, in battle; reprinted in Dictionary of Literary Biography.
Helen Thomas was the wife of Edward Thomas (1878– 1917), one of England's most prominent poets in the first decades of the twentieth century. She was emotionally dev astated when he died in combat in April 1917, and she turned to writing to deal with her grief. Her two-volume autobiogra phy, As It Was (1926) and World Without End (1931), describes their life together and offers a detailed portrait of what life was like on the British home front during World War I. In her memoir, Thomas did not use the real names of the people she described, but it was obvious that she was writing an intensely personal account of her life with Edward. In 1972, under the supervision of Thomas's daughter Myfanwy, an edition was issued with a key to the characters' names. Uplifted by...

He went to the Netherlands and lived there in virtual isolation for twenty-three years He died in 1941, during World War II (1939–45), when the Netherlands was under German occupation. Wilhelm II was a grandson of Queen Victoria (1819–1901) of Great Britain and of Emperor Wilhelm I (1797–1888) of Prussia (the most powerful of the several German states that unified into the nation of Germany in 1871)....

Woodrow Wilson, a scholar and university president who entered public life after a successful academic career, is regarded as one of the most influential presidents in U.S. history, largely because of his leadership during World War I and his earnest, though unsuccessful campaign to persuade the U.S. Senate to join the League of Nations, an international assembly that would encourage nations to resolve their disputes through peaceful means. A Democrat, Wilson served as the twenty-eighth president of the United States, from 1913 to 1921.

Further, how can nations convince good people to suspend the normal rules of civilization during wartime so that they can kill the enemy? A religious man who had sincerely tried to become a better person through devotion to his church, York had never been more than fifty miles from his home when he was sent to fight in France during World War I. Although he was a most unwilling soldier, York used the shooting skills he...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A control tower recording captured an air traffic controller bantering about a dead cat with a giggling female friend as a small plane flew toward a collision with a helicopter.
Nine people were killed in the Aug. 8 accident over the Hudson River in New York.
The Federal Aviation Administration released the recording Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Associated Press.
On the recording the controller at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey appears engrossed in his conversation with the woman as she describes how repulsed she was by the carcass of a cat.
There's no indication he was aware of the danger until alerted by other controllers moments before the crash.

Whether you're sightseeing, bird watching or on the hunt, discover exceptional vision and brightness with the right pair of binoculars. Get an up-close view from far away in the outdoors or from high up in a stadium or venue. Seek out the type of binoculars that deliver the view you desire.
Look to trusted brands like Nikon, Bushnell and Leupold binoculars that provide vivid views from far away.
Choose a pair of binoculars that are rugged, durable, and above all else, provide the keen vision and detail you need.
Think about the level of magnification you desire. Every pair of binoculars includes a reference number that will indicate its magnification power, such as 6x30. The number "6" refers to how many times the binoculars will magnify an object. The number "30" refers to the diameter of the front of the binoculars. Larger lens diameter translates to a heavier set of binoculars.
Consider these essential factors when making your purchase:
The purpose of a prism in binoculars is to correct inverted and reversed images that you would see in their absence. Binoculars come in two prism designs: Porro prism and roof prism. Porro prisms show a brighter image, but often make the binoculars larger. A roof prism aligns the lens in a straight configuration, which makes the binocular smaller but images appear less bright.
Don't let Mother Nature stand in the way: Your binoculars need to perform in unexpected weather. Consider purchasing binoculars that are waterproof and fogproof.
Binoculars can help you get an up-close view of what interests you most. Music lovers can take in a concert from a distance, and bird watchers can attain the closer look they desire with the right pair of binoculars.
Generally, binoculars with a magnification of 6x30 are ideal for viewing a concert, theater or opera. Starwatching, hunting and general purpose binoculars typically provide a magnification of 7x35. Long-distance bird watchers might opt for a pair with magnification of 8x40.

On a first visit to Palma de Mallorca, see the medieval Bellver Castle and Moorish-style Almudaina Palace in the Old Town. Relax on popular resort beaches like El Arenal nearby, but go further on return visits to seek out quiet beaches along the north Mallorca coast.
Palma is set on a sandy bay in the west of Mallorca island with the bustling resorts of El Arenal to the east and Magaluf to the west. You'll find the majority of Palma's city sights located just north-east of Palma Marina, in the medieval Old Town, including the Gothic Cathedral and 700-year-old Bellver Castle. To the north of Palma are millionaires' mansions and secret coves tucked away in craggy mountains around Deià. You'll find family resorts on the north side of Mallorca around Pollensa, and watersports in the south of the island. At the heart of the island, you can experience traditional Mallorca life.
Explore Palma's Old Town attractions from the vast Gothic Cathedral to the Almudaina Palace, first built by the Moors overlooking Palma Bay. Or visit the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation to see paintings and sculptures by the renowned Catalan artist. Relax on sandy Can Pastilla and El Arenal beaches nearby and cool off in the calm waters. Or take a trip through the countryside onboard a wooden train to Sóller, on Mallorca's north coast, passing through citrus groves and almond orchards on the way.
Take in the Palma district of Santa Catalina, home to a vibrant fruit and vegetable market. Or join the city's fashionistas for chilled beers in the old fisherman's quarter of Portixol, east of the Old Town. Head to the north coast town of Deià to visit the Robert Graves Museum, the former country home of the early 20th-century British poet. Get off the beaten track and walk the windswept cliffs and secluded beaches along Mallorca's north-eastern coast at Cap de Formentor.

Mobsters and Rumrunners of Canada by Gord Steinke HERE
"I expressed this concern, this incredible feeling of loss and lack of direction to a dear friend and mentor of mine, Keith Raniere" Isn't that touching? Her blog is HERE. She calls the blog entry "What Now"
- The honest one
After I read this that a friend gave me just lost it honestly. I'm a fan of you until I found out you were in some cult and out drinking all the time. Do you really need some wannabe friend saying that you look good, oh yes Allison do this or not do that. What are you some robot that needs someone to always tell you what to do. Hello wake up girl and be you OWN person. I bet you can find some job out there for you. At least the others from Smallville are trying to move on yes maybe not the parts they are hoping to do but at least their face is out there still. Don't turn away now just try something new because it never hards. You just learn from things were all human right? So why not try something new. I believe you should get out of this cult before some horrible happens to your life or health. Look you have to save yourself and think about yourself before others and the world. Yes you were in a tv show for 7 years doesn't mean you just stop believing and give up just hang up the towel like that. There are people fighting out there to be in your place just to get on tv or be in shows/movies. You are alright in the door why close it? You got your family and friends why do you need some cult for? Honestly your family is the best to turn to when you are down or not sure where to go in your life. Don't turn to people that want to use or control your life for you. There is still time to turn back and get out be your life better again just you need to call the shots no one else. I honestly don't care if you end up deleting my post because you don't like what I say but just know that you lost a fan.
Till tomorrow enjoy the weather

The FWC has recently issued orders to open the recreational bay scallop season 12 days early this year - June 19 - allow additional harvest days and extend open harvest areas for Apalachicola Bay commercial oyster fishermen this summer, and establish a free fishing weekend on June 19-20 to help relieve impacts some Florida fishing communities and industries are experiencing because of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
However, all other commercial and recreational saltwater fishing regulations, including size and bag limits, fishing gear restrictions, seasons and other related provisions remain unchanged and will be enforced. These regulations are available online at MyFWC.com/RECREATION/Saltwater_index.htm.

Hot Stove: Signings Galore
Its been another wild and wooly day in the world of baseball as a whole handful of fantasy relevant players have decided where they will play in 2011.
Edwin Encarnacion: Well look at that. After casting EE adrift because they didn't want to overpay him (he was picked up off waivers by the Athletics who subsequently decided not to offer him a contract as he was non-tendered), the Blue Jays brought Encarnacion back into the fold. Paid $4.75 million last season, Encarnacion signed a one year deal for $2.5 million with a club option of $3.5 million for 2012. You might not be aware, but Edwin hit 21 homers last season which is more than Scott Rolen (20), Kevin Youkilis (19), Casey Blake (17) and Kevin Kouzmanoff (16) despite the fact that he had just 332 at-bats. A poor third basemen, it appears that the current plan is for Edwin to see some time at third, first and DH this season, potentially splitting time with Adam Lind at 1B/DH. For more of the Encarnacion love fest make sure you read Jason Collette's Free Agent Forecast: E5 where he expounds about his unhealthy man-crush on the free swinging infielder (it's kind of creepy how much Jason digs Edwin… I'm just saying Jason).
Bobby Jenks: Buster Olney is reporting that the Red Sox and former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks have agreed to a 2-year deal for $12 million. This signing is a bit odd since the Red Sox already have young flame thrower Daniel Bard, not to mention closer Jonathan Papelbon. It's pure speculation at this point, but why would the BoSox bother to bring in Jenks to pitch the 7th inning? The point is, they wouldn't. This leads to the obvious – perhaps the Red Sox are going to rid themselves of Papelbon. Problem is, Jonathan is coming off his worst season since becoming the closer, and he will likely make upwards of $11 million or more through arbitration. Who wants to take on a slumping closer who will make more than $11 million, especially when he will become a free agent after the 2011 season (for more on Papelbon see Around the Horn: Offseason Moves)? Good question. As for Jenks, he is coming off a career worst 4.44 ERA and a five year low of 27 saves, but he actually pitched very, very well. In addition to a five year best with a K/9 rate of 10.42, Jenks also managed the best GB/FB ratio of his career at a superb 2.80. If he combines those two numbers again in 2011, his ERA should fall by at least a run if not back into the 2′s.
Russell Martin: I wrote about Martin's decision to sign a one year deal with the Yankees in Hot Stove: Lee Isn't Only Newsmaker. Now comes word that during his physical it was determined that he will need minor knee surgery. The Yankees still signed him to the contract with this knowledge, so you have to think the issue is relatively minor, but it can't make you feel good about Martin's 2011 outlook given that he is coming off of two mediocre seasons (at best) and a fractured hip. He's dropping down my draft list.
Magglio Ordonez: Jon Heyman is reporting that Mags will return to the Tigers on a 1-year deal for a rather large $10 million. The Tigers likely had to overpay a bit since they only wanted to do a one year deal with a guy coming back from ankle surgery. Ordonez has been working out and is said to already be close to 100 percent healthy. For more on Ordonez and his prospects for the upcoming season check out Around the Horn: Offseason Moves.
Josh Willingham: Buster Olney is reporting that Willingham will be dealt to the Athletics in exchange for two players (one who has major league experience). I have to hand it to the A's, they are doing some nice things. Not only have they added two arms to what was potentially the best staff in the AL last year with Rich Harden and Brandon McCarthy, they have also augmented the offense by adding Hidkei Matsui, David DeJesus and now Willingham (you can read more about the addition of Harden in Hot Stove: Pitchers Dominate the News and more about Matsui in the link above in the Martin writeup). Willingham missed the end of 2010 because of knee surgery, and he will be a free agent after the coming campaign, but the guy can hit. Over the past five years Josh has averaged 20 homers and 66 RBI a season despite an average of just 434 at-bats a year. It is a concern that Oakland's home park doesn't reward power hitters, and that Willingham hasn't had even 430 at-bats in any of the last three seasons, but he does add some needed thump to a lineup whose biggest home run hitter in 2010 was Kevin Kouzmanoff with 16.

text: Like so many young men and women, Joe Stravato '06CPS, '09MBA always dreamed of working in professional sports. And thanks to his two degrees from St. John's University, that dream has quickly turned into reality. Currently serving as Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer at the National Hockey League, this hard-working double alumnus is making his mark on one of America's most popular and successful sports leagues. "I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in professional sports," Stravato said. "In fact, I actually decided to go to St. John's precisely because of its program in Sport Management. While I was studying there, I considered working in sports marketing, college athletics or becoming an agent, but, ultimately, I landed at the NHL and it's been a perfect opportunity." As a student, Stravato got involved with a number of activities on campus, including the Sport Management Club, interning with the Office of Athletics and playing intramural sports. Between classes and extracurriculars, he developed an extensive list of St. John's friends and contacts and continues to do that in the professional world. "I always tell people that the main attraction of St. John's is its alumni," Stravato said. "It's funny how many people you'll meet, especially working in Manhattan, who either went to St. John's or know someone who did. This is no exaggeration: I don't go a week without talking to someone about the University." In fact, Stravato is quick to point out that the alumni network helped him land his job at the NHL. "When I was getting my graduate degree, I met a fellow classmate who happened to work at the NHL," Stravato explained. "He was one of the reasons that I'm working here, so the whole networking aspect of my St. John's education really came full circle. It's had a pretty meaningful impact on me just like so many others." Now, Stravato is responsible for assisting the NHL's COO in a variety of ways. He interacts with team Presidents and Owners, coordinates accommodations for the league's high-level guests and attends marquee events, including the Stanley Cup Finals, Winter Classic and All-Star Game. "That's definitely one of the bright spots of the job," Stravato said. "I've been a lifelong fan of the NHL, so it's pretty cool to be at all of these signature games. And the league has been doing extremely well lately, with a number of big-market and small-market teams having success. Everyone is really excited for next season." And Stravato certainly hasn't forgotten his St. John's roots. He remains good friends with a number of former classmates and gets involved on campus whenever he can. "You get that sense of community from St. John's," he said. "Even here at the NHL, there are a bunch of us who graduated from the University. It gives you that sense of security, that common ground, and that's why it's so great to stay involved with the STJ community."

There are a fair few names that have unknown meanings, and remain "meaningless".
Tatiana is one of those names.

Swimming is one of the most popular sports in world. Unlike other sports, swimming is a life skill that is taught, first, to ensure safety and, secondly, for sports and competition purposes. Aquatics covers a great variety of swimming skills, from short sprints to longer events and relays. And the Aquatics coaching guide (below) gives coaches advice and approaches to successfully coach swimmers of all abilities, from strong, fast competitors to swimmers who find it hard to swim at all. Partnership with the Michael Phelps FoundationSpecial Olympics has a partnership with the Michael Phelps Foundation and has appointed the international swimming legend as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador. The Michael Phelps Foundation will expand its signature "IM" with Special Olympics that will bring water safety, recreational aquatic activities, and health, wellness and goal-setting instruction to Special Olympic athletes across the world.

Sørensen broke a new Danish record during a Special Olympics short-track demonstration. The two Special Olympics heats (50m & 100m freestyle) demonstrated the range of ability levels at Special Olympics from recreational to competitive swimmers. LEN also used the opportunity to speak directly to the 5,000 spectators about the need for more opportunities and better divisioning for athletes with intellectual disabilities to train and compete in swimming. Special Olympics divisioning was demonstrated in the 50m freestyle with the 7 participating swimmers delivering strong results to their different ability levels. The 100m demonstrated Special Olympics Denmark's three higher ability athletes.

He's been in the pool since he started lessons at the age of two, and as a northern NSW local he was extremely excited to be selected for the Special Olympics Asia Pacific Games so he could swim for Australia in front of family, friends and fans. Despite a disappointing disqualification in his first event, Keiran refocused and went on to medal in each of his other races including gold in the 800m freestyle, one of his favourite events. Despite many years of swimming, Keiran described these Games as 'one of the best ever' as the team have really bonded and everyone from all the other countries have been so friendly too!'

The next chapter in his life will include baseball, not football. But where Devin Pearson will be playing baseball next is still being debated.
The county's most decorated three-sport athlete in recent memory isn't sure where he will be attending college or if he'll be going to school at all.
"It's actually pretty exciting,'' said Pearson, a recent Carmel High graduate. "I would like to know. I've got visits scheduled after the College World Series. But the Toronto Blue Jays are making an offer. I don't want to make a decision too quickly.''
Being a highly accomplished, versatile athlete — named to The Herald's All-County team in football, basketball and baseball — has given Pearson plenty of options. It also has made him The Herald's Male Athlete of the Year for the second straight year.
Since being drafted in the 30th round by the Toronto Blue Jays, eight Division I baseball programs have contacted Pearson over the past two weeks.
"I haven't gone to any showcases in baseball,'' said Pearson, who hit .488 while playing center field. "I haven't played on any travel teams until now. A lot of colleges have never seen me play until now.''
That's because Pearson didn't truly embrace baseball until now.
Up until March, Pearson believed he was going to play college football after putting up spectacular numbers the past three years at quarterback.
"When you do the three sports, you're not showcasing yourself in the offseason,'' Carmel football coach Golden Anderson said. "He was always doing something for Carmel High. That's rare in this day and age.''
There was no bigger emotional letdown for Pearson then when he didn't get into Stanford, where he had been recruited to play football.
"I loved Stanford. I felt the most comfortable there," Pearson said.
There were other schools interested in him as a football player, not as a quarterback, but a receiver or safety.
"I haven't thrown a football since the CCS championship game,'' said Pearson, who threw for nearly 8,000 yards in three years at Carmel and 76 touchdown passes.
Pearson thinks other schools may have backed off recruiting him when they heard about his strong feelings for Stanford.
"When the coaches at Stanford made it sound like I was going to get in, I told people that (Stanford was) where I'm going,'' the 18-year-old said.
But Pearson didn't panic when he didn't get into Stanford.
"When things go bad, he doesn't skip a beat,'' Anderson said. "He never panics or gets too emotional. That's what separates him from most athletes. Devin doesn't know where he's going yet, and he's not stressed about it.''
In the past three months Pearson has focused on baseball, putting in three hours of practice on the diamond daily, enhancing his skills in the field and at the plate.
"He's a gamer,'' Stevenson slugger Nick Halamandaris said. "He knows how to win and get the job done. I respect how hard he competes and his dedication to his craft.''
Once Pearson found his stroke at the plate after an extended basketball season, he went on a county-best 19-game hitting streak batting leadoff.
"Coach (Randy) Bispo has told me since my freshman year baseball is where I should go,'' Pearson said. "I started to listen to him a little more this year. Football is my first love. But baseball is creeping up the ladder.''
Pearson played most of the spring with a handful of major league scouts in attendance.
"When scouts started showing up and talking to me, I began to think maybe I do have a better opportunity in this sport,'' Pearson said. "Baseball kind of bored me before. Now it's challenging. I took the sport for granted.''
As a youth league player, Pearson once hit 20 home runs in a season. He showcased some of that power when he ripped a pair of homers in a playoff game against Sacred Heart Cathedral of San Francisco.
"I remember a scout for the Braves told me if I get drafted, 'watch how many colleges start calling,''' Pearson said. "Coach Bispo has done a good job of getting my name out there as well.''
Had Pearson agreed to an offer the Blue Jays put on the table before the 10th round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft, he would have seen his name tabbed sooner.
Instead, he was honest and told them he couldn't make a decision that day, it was too fast. Toronto passed until the 30th before drafting him anyway.
"It was pretty surreal,'' Pearson said. "I was thankful that Toronto chose me. Now we'll see what happens. I want to take a couple of college visits before making a final decision."
Pearson has until July 11 to sign with Toronto or it loses his rights.
"He's more polished as a football player,'' Anderson said. "That being said, for a guy that plays baseball from March to May, if he only does that, it's pretty scary what he can become.''
Football will always have a special place in Pearson's heart. He guided Carmel to three straight Mission Trail Athletic League titles and three straight Central Coast Section finals appearances, winning the title as a sophomore.
His father played professional football for the Atlanta Falcons.
"One of my most fondest memories was running out onto the field against Palma in the title game,'' Pearson said.
That was the Padres only loss in a magical senior year that saw Pearson throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,500.
"I loved running the ball as much as passing it,'' said Pearson, who was 35-3 as a starting quarterback over three years with 127 touchdowns. "The touchdown pass is still the best feeling. That way two people are happy."
Pearson's two most memorable games go back to his sophomore year against Monterey, and his final game against Palma.
"Playing Monterey was kind of Carmel's debut playing big time football,'' Pearson said. "Playing Palma was the end of the road against the best team. We proved we could play with them.''
"Think about this,'' Anderson said. "He put up big numbers with a different cast of characters every year. He got a lot out of the guys around him. When the stage got big, he was efficient."
That attitude translated to the basketball court as well, where Pearson was a four-year starting guard, leading the Padres to back-to-back MTAL titles this past winter after a 21-year title absence.
"I played basketball for fun,'' Pearson said. "I couldn't give it up. I loved the game too much. I wasn't going to pass up playing my senior year. I'm not going to get this opportunity again.''
Pearson earned all-league honors, leading Carmel in scoring at just under 13 points a game. But it was the way he played defense that earned him his reputation.
"I love the speed of the game,'' Pearson said. "The energy in the gym when playing a big opponent is amazing. I'd rather lock someone up than put up a bunch of points."
Pearson hasn't totally ruled out playing football again someday. If he chooses to go to college, he wants to go to a school that has football.
"You know what I'm going to miss more than anything are my friends — some of which I've known since the first grade,'' Pearson said. "Tyler Knight and I looked at each other after our last baseball game and said we'll never put on this jersey again. That's weird."

These pillow and cans of butter and chocolate cookies are all yours from TOKYO DISNEYLAND and DISNEYSEA…
(FYI, my wife collects tin cans, that's how simple she really is! So I thought these 2 tin cans with Stitch design and embossed Disney characters would delight her more than its contents. I also brought home a zippered lunch box I got from my dinner set in Tokyo DisneySea for Gabby)
'ney, I got this 'kikay kit' for you with Minnie Mouse 's soft and chewy sweets inside…
Last but not the least…
Gabby, since I and your mom love you so much; not only because you are named 3rd Honorable Mention at your recently concluded Kindergarten graduation and has been awarded honors in your preschool's Declamation and Academic Contests in 2 consecutive years, we think you deserve something you really want.
I (with Dr. BPS) went back to AKIHABARA ELECTRIC TOWN a day before my flight back home just to get you this present…
This is your most wanted pasalubong, right? I bought those from Ishimaru store in Akihabara; glad you like it, anak!
Now you have both your gameboy and this new Sony PSP with 4-gig memory stick to enjoy during the summer break! But promise me and your mom that you'll continue to be a good boy and a smart preschool pupil, OK?
I love you 'ney and Gabby!
Dear Kind Readers,
Beyond Toxicity will be celebrating its 3rd anniversary on May 08, 2010. Because of this, I thought of giving away little something from my Tokyo trip. No, it's not the PSP I bought for Gabby, but these wonderful pairs of authentic Japanese chopsticks; all yours when you join and win the small blog-contest that I will be throwing before this month ends (will be only open to all readers within the country and abroad who can provide mailing address within the Philippines ). Simple and easy mechanics will be posted on the last week of April so stay tuned. :D
Now, who wants these chopsticks?
This ends my 14-part-Letters about Tokyo series. Thanks for following!
Sayonara and Arigato Gozaimasu, Tokyo!
