I was greeted by a very friendly and welcoming front desk staff. Dr. Park has a very calm demeanor, but nonetheless she is very nice, understanding and gentle. I would highly recommend going to this office and seeing Dr.Park.
Dr. Park gives you her full attention for as long as is needed. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and listens to your needs. She's a good doctor, and through.
This was as pleasant a doctor's visit I've ever had. No wait for a 9 am appointment, polite and helpful staff, knowledgable and friendly doctor who made me feel at ease immediately. Very happy with Dr. Park.
She is a great doctor.....ALWAYS. Caring and knowledgeable. Happy our family found her.
Dr. Park and her staff are warm and welcoming. They keep their apppointments right on schedule. When I am examined by Dr. Park I never feel rushed or shortchanged. She is a good listener. I feel I am in very goo hands.
Excellent. Thoughtful, thorough, and willing to spend more than an hour with me.
As a nurse who has been around her fair share of doctors, I just have to say I love Dr. Park! Was seen immediately, her medical assistant was excellent at obtaining the basics (allergies, vital signs, labs) and Dr. Park was the perfect balance of professional and personable. She was thorough, quick and very nonjudgmental. I would (and will) recommend her to anyone needing a primary care doctor.
Great experience and will absolutely continue to go to Dr. Park for my annual physical!
I can't say enough good things about my visit to Dr Parks office. She gave me 40 minutes of her time just chatting. You felt welcome and like they cared about your time as much as they cared about you. Lovely experience!
Dr. Park was excellent. She really took the time to talk to me and go over my history. Her assistant Cookie was great at drawing blood and gave me some apple juice afterwards because I always get woozy. Very pleased with Dr. Park and Cookie.
would see her again' very personable she did not rush me took time to explain things to me
She is great! She takes her time with you, explains everything in detail. She addresses everything right then and there. I had an issue, she requested tests and called me in the afternoon to discuss just to calm my anxiety. I love that I can reach out to her via email and she responds within the same day. So much different than my other doctors. I just wish I found her sooner. She is great.
Could not be happier. I was seen right away, and everyone was lovely.
Amazing Doctor and Person! I couldn't be happier to have found such a caring and knowledgeable doctor as Dr.Park. Very personable and attentive. I went in with a stomach pain that had been bothering me for a long time and she was able to figure out what I had right away (she ordered lab work done to confirm of course). Once she was certain about my condition she personally called me and told me what it was and how to treat it. I am very content and grateful Dr.Parks is my primary care physician. I highly HIGHLY recommend her. *Plus her assisting nurse is so nice, sweet and helpful (brownie points!)
Very knowledgable, approachable, and understanding!
The clinic itself is in the middle of a move. However, the service was thorough and prompt. Doctor took care to explain recommendations carefully.
She was very thorough & seemed very interested in helping me with my concerns. Very nice office as well!
Before seeing her I had seen a specialist (with whom I have a trust issue - as I felt what he was proposing was too aggressive). She explained to me what his prescription contained and explained one by one, what the medicines was for. I was very happy to get her "endorsement" of his approach. She takes time to listen to you and explain things (something my specialist was not so good at).
Dr. Susan Park is amazing! She is very professional, courteous caring, informative, and easy to talk to. These are only a few of the many amazing qualities that define Dr. Park.
I highly recommend Dr. Park. She's very thorough and attentive. Friendly personality. Cookie did great taking blood. It was painless. They make your visit very relaxing and stress free. Brand new and very clean office
My visit was great. She is the most genuine and patient doctor I have ever been to.
Dr. Park looks at my personal health as a whole. She takes plenty of time to go over the different aspects of my health with me.
She is the best doctor ever! Highly recommended.
Dr. Park was thoughtful, and professional in taking my medical history. Her goal directed recommendations for my personal health as a 40+ individual are sound and have provided me with a sense of partnership in my future health. I am so glad I found her office.
She is THE BEST primary care physician, hands down
Great bedside manner! She really took the time to talk to me and understand my needs. I'll definitely be going back!
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Park. (and her assistant, Cookie!) All the reviews are true. Such a warm, friendly environment, was seen right away and had the chance to actually sit and chat with the doctor for about an hour. No rush, no hurry-- and more than anything, she takes the time to listen. So incredibly refreshing for NYC!
I had a very pleasant and informative session with Dr. Park. She and her staff are very friendly and accommodating, and I felt well taken care of. Dr. Park answered all of my questions thoroughly and figured out what the best course of action was. I highly recommend her!
They just moved to their location so office was under construction but everything was still in working order so nothing felt chaotic. Dr. Park and her assistant were very helpful and patient. Really love that they email results.
Overall good.
Dr. Park is the best! It took me over 10 years since moving to NYC to finally find a great doctor. She is punctual, very thorough, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend her as a primary care doctor.
Dr. Park is awesome. On my first visit, she sat with me for 45 minutes discussing my medical history and answering questions I had that hadn't been answered for years. She's really funny and sweet, and visits with her are never stressful. If I'm ever sick and need to see a doctor right away, she makes sure to fit me in that day, and I can email her with questions and she'll get back to me quickly. Love her!
Great experience. Very thorough, patient, detail oriented. Feel very comfortable to be under her care.
Great Dr. She goes out of her way to help her patients.
Dr. Park was very personable. She had amazing bedside manner. I felt comfortable and she listened to all of my concerns and symptoms. I'm so glad to have found a doctor close to my apartment like her!
Wonderful doctor. Sat with my husband and I for an hour while discussing how to fix my the problem I was having. Also, examined me and her assistant was top notch. I wish she was still covered by my insurance. I fear I will never find a doctor as great as she was.
Friendly, thorough, and attentive. She and her assistant both took their time with me and made me feel very comfortable.
Caring, engaging, and someone who is interested in your total health. Looks to healing with your body's ability's and the pharmaceuticals. Will help you prioritize your needs.
Very thorough and polite..her assistant was awesome as well..I didn't feel rushed and I felt as if I was being attended too very well.
She is the best Doctor I have ever had. I love her!
Dr. Susan Park was amazing. It was the most personal attention I could have asked for.
Dr. Park was extremely courteous and professional. She took the time to inquire about my family history and answer any questions I had.
I love Dr. Park! She's respectful, knowledgeable, and so gracious. Really happy to have found her!
Easy to talk to, professional and takes her time with you even though I'm sure she's busy. A great PCP - highly recommended!
She is good as usual.
Great! She was extremely thorough, sitting me down and making sure that she covered all of my medical history. The nurse was also very nice and took my blood in a very efficient and careful manner. Definitely going back to her again.
She's really smart and quite nice - the ideal doctor.
So friendly, cheerful, and efficient - so rare to find a doctor like her!
Once again..terrific!
Very personable and really took the time to get to know me and my health history upon first visit. Dr. Park seemed very knowledgeable and experienced as well.
Dr. Park is one-of-a-kind. She is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough in her examinations (including gathering pertinent background information on the medical history of the patient and the patient's family), never rushes through her appointments, allows the patient to ask questions and is easily the nicest most affable doctor I have ever visited. Seriously. Phenomenal.
Awesome. I came 15 minutes early (in case there was paper work) and the nurse came right up to me and apologized for making me wait maybe 60 seconds. The nurse did all the paperwork for me and got me settled. Dr. Park was very thorough- she spent maybe 35 minutes talking to be about my health history. It really seemed like she was listening, unlike other doctors I've seen. Can't recommend her highly enought!
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Park. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, was open to questions, which she answered fully, and explained what she was doing and why during the physical examination. She has a friendly disposition, and I would definitely recommend her.
Susan was extremely thorough, answered my long list of questions, and gave very practical advice. Her nurse Cookie was also excellent, caring and careful, I highly recommend Susan and her team.
Dr Park was very generous with her time, very pleasant and friendly. I felt it was easy to discuss my issues and that we worked together to decide the best treatment.
First visit and I am impressed. Very cordial; she really listened. Took a lot of time with me. Staff was helpful and friendly. I am encouraged!
My appointment was at 945am and just as I walked into the clinic, her super friendly assistant was waiting for me and took me immediately to a room. I did not even have to check in with the reception. I chose her because of the all the great reviews she has (and the location). Well, all the reviews were spot on - she really listened to me (I went for a general check up for the first time) and asked many questions. Simply a pleasant experience :o)
The doctor's bedside manner was outstanding and unsurpassed. She was thorough, informative, and showed great follow up. She created a calm environment and I felt at ease during the exam, and comfortable asking questions (despite having anxiety about going to doctor appointments of any kind). The medical assistant, Cookie, is highly professional and her warmth is palpable. I appreciated her kindness as I was a bit drained and cranky during my appointment, and I somehow walked out of the office with a smile and feeling so positive. I'm relieved to have found a doctor and doctor's office like hers.
Can't say enough about her! She is wonderful!
I was very nervous seeing a new doctor after having had the same GP for many years. Dr. Park and her nurse were terrific. Dr. Park spent a very long time talking to me and finding out about my medical history and any medical concerns. She was very reassuring and had a great bedside manner! She was also incredibly responsive after my visit and let me know my lab results right away. I'm thrilled to have found her!
What a great experience! I waited less than 5 minutes to be called in, her assistant was very friendly and professional, and so was Dr. Park. She spent an appropriate amount of time hearing my concerns, and gave me sound advice. I feel very good about Dr. Park being my primary care physician.
Dr. Park is an amazing doctor that truly cares about her patients. She and her nurse spent 1.5 hours with me for my annual physical and took the time to understand what was going on in my life both physically and emotionally. She's a great doctor and I highly recommend her!
It was really great to spend an appt with a PCP who took the time to ask questions, write down the answers, and engage! There was absolutely no sense of rush, which is such a wonderful and rare thing to find in New York City!
Dr. Susan is very thorough, she takes her time to listen to all of your questions and provides you with answers. Dr. Park and her assistant, Cookie, are both very helpful and quick to respond to any questions you may have via email. I'm sad my insurance changed and I have to look for a new doctor now.
Excellent service and very fast waiting time. Doctor Park we friendly,pleasant , and knowledgeable. Definitely coming back!
Exactly what i would have wanted! Looking forward to a long and caring relationship..
Dr. Park listens and answers questions and is most reassuring. My huband and father were both internists and I am very exacting. Dr. Park suspassed my expectations and wishes. I have already referred a friend to her.
I like her she was great took her time to explain things as needed. I left paperwork home she called and got them for me and took her time to explain the results to me which is what I like the other doc who ordered the test never called me to even say she received them and its been months
Second time.. and i still love her. She is informative and gets to the point!
I just had my first appointment with Dr. Park and she was incredible. She listens very well, is empathetic, and clearly a very smart and well-versed doctor. I would certainly recommend her to anyone searching for a primary care physician in Manhattan.
she was great!
She is very relaxed and I felt at ease right away.
The best.
Excellent. First time visiting Dr Park and really liked her. Visited her for a diabetes consultation. Appointment was on time, she took her time with me, very thorough and very pleasant.
She is perfection.
Very pleasant, polite, friendly, and easy to talk to.
She is a fantastic physician.
This is the third time I've seen Dr. Park and I'm always amazed by the amount of information she collects about my history and symptoms. She is very intelligent and has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend her!
She was fantastic and SO informative. I'm not used to that much attention and compassion when I visit the Dr. Refreshing!
While Dr. Park clearly has a high volume of patients (and deservedly so), my appointment with her did not feel the least bit rushed. She was extremely thorough in asking questions about my condition, made me feel entirely at ease and - most importantly - checked up on me several days later via email to see how I was doing on the medication she prescribed. She is also very accessible and answered my follow-up questions (also posed via email) promptly and consistently. Dr. Park's commitment to her patients' well-being is extraordinary and I would recommend her without hesitation.
Dr. Park is fantastic - very caring, takes her time to ask questions and explain everything. The facilities are clean and easy to access from the subway. About an average wait time to see her, but she was very apologetic for the wait and it's clear that she's not rushing through her patients (which I, personally, prefer).
I have been seeing Dr. Park for a while and found her to be thoughtful, diligent in following-up and very responsive. Great primary care physician.
Moderately knowledgeable.
Dr. Park is excellent! She is knowledgeable, a great listener, and took her time in getting a thorough history. Her assistant is also great.
She's great, very attentive and really puts you at ease. Her medical assistant is quick, efficient and on top of everything. I was immediately taken in and everything went smoothly. She also electronically sent my prescription to my CVS which is great. I just found my new doctor and will def be back!
She is the best primary care doctor I have ever had.
Friendly, straightforward & professional
Perfection!! Dr Park is a great Doctor, I have already recommended her to work colleges and friends. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Park is an example of how doctors should be ... enough said!
She is warm, caring and very easy to talk to. She answered all my questions and she took time to explain. She didn't hesitate at all when I went back to her office after my appointment with an additional question and a request. Her medical assistant was also very nice and kind.
This was my first visit to a primary physician since I moved to New York. Dr. Park was very welcoming and professional, and took the time to understand me and my background before diagnosing me. I didn't feel rushed and she answered all my questions so I really understood how to get better. I will definitely go back to see Dr. Parks next time.
Dr. Park is super sweet, knowledgable, and attending. She truly cares about you and is effective and thorough. I have just moved here in June and have been searching, and decided she would be my primary right away! The nurse is also very sweet and comforting. My only, very minor dislike would be the desk attendants--not very welcoming or personable--somewhat rude! But definitely worth it for Dr. Park!
Dr Park is the best, and everyone I've recommended her to loves her as well. She always takes a ton of time to listen, you'll never feel rushed at this doctor's visit! She's also extremely attentive after hours -- corresponding via email frequently. I also love that she sends follow up emails after blood work explaining the results. Don't hesitate... see Dr Park if you are looking for a new GP!!!
Thorough, personable, great instinct.
She took the time to ask me questions about how I was feeling and then explained the diagnosis and, most importantly, why she had concluded on that diagnosis (as opposed to any other options for my symptoms). She seemed genuinely concerned and explained everything very well.
My visit was quick and efficient, and yet she still made sure that all of my questions were answered and that everything was well-explained.
Dr. Park took a very thorough history and spent a lot of time with me. I felt like I got a very thorough check up.
Dr. Park is extremely patient and the visit did not feel rushed at all. She takes the time to answer all questions in depth. She is friendly and has an excellent bedside manner.
My visit was just as expected, reassuring and the feeling of being taken good care of.
I got more than I bargained for. Went in with sinus problems and she wound up helping me with my skin problems, too. Assistant was lovely. Will absolutely go again.
Dr. Park was literally the best PCP I've ever been to. She took the time to really understand my family and health history so she could get to the root cause of my illness. She has terrific bedside manner and is a pleasure to speak with. I highly recommend her and will definitely become a regular patient of hers.
Dr. Park is always on time, efficient, and easy to talk to.
The best doctor I've ever had. Hands down. Wish I still lived in NYC or never changed jobs to still go to her!
Dr. Park was very kind and warm, and thorough in her questioning me about my issue. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to someone else.
Dr. Park was great. She listened well, and the physical therapy suggestions for my knee she e-mailed to me, as well as the results from my blood work, which I found to be very convenient and fast. The nurse was also very friendly. The appointment was thorough but not too long, which I appreciated.
I seriously am so impressed by Dr. Park. The most thorough doctor ever. She took her time, was generous in explaining. And helped me with my medical issues. She come HIGHLY recomended..
Dr. Park was great! Very thorough and easily one of the nicest doctor's I've seen in New York
Courteous, professional and right on time.
Excellent bedside manner.
Very kind and easy to speak to. I did not feel self-conscious or uncomfortable around her, even when talking about unusual subjects!
I really loved her. Most amazing bedside manner - she explained everything she was doing and made feel like I could talk to her about anything. She was very patient and had a detailed discussion with me about prescriptions and the options I had. Recommend to everyone! I am moving abroad but will find my way back here for my annual exams!
I arrived 10 min early for my appointment and was called within 5 min. Her assistant was personably and sweet. Dr Park was excellent, took her time to speak to me and answered all my questions (30 to 40 min worth). My previous GP would only give patients 15mins tops and that was with the full exam. I had a lot of questions as a result and a recurring problem I have had for 5 years was addressed. She is extremely knowledgeable. I left her office pleased. Dr Park responded to me via email with my test results by late evening same day and then reached out via my cell same day to ensure I completely understood what was discussed earlier in the day. She will be my new GP.
I LOVED Doctor. Park. I needed some in depth work and investigation to some reoccurring health problems I was having. She took soo much time, and throughly investigated the causes. She was genuinely interested in my background and felt like she cared. Which I find to be rare with doctors in NYC. I was very impressed and happy I came acros Dr. Park. I will definately be a permanent patient of hers.
Was very efficient but still kind and thorough. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Park pulled me from the waiting room literally 20 seconds after I sat down. She was excellent. She knows her stuff. I've had some issues over the years that were not addressed properly I believe and she had some insight that I did not think of before.
Dr. Park was extremely thorough and did not rush through a single part of the visit. She took the time to listen to the whole story and was very helpful and straightforward with all of the options available. She was able to recommend a specialist for me and ordered blood tests to be done immediately that day. I was in the waiting room a total of 30 seconds before she took me in. Excellent first impression!
Dr. Park and her nurse were very friendly and took all the time needed to treat me (and attend to my 16 month old who accompanied me!) I was also seen the same day, which was great as I was quite sick and didn't want to wait.
Pleasant, thoughtful manner. Very sensible, knowledgeable, to the point.
She is very thorough and takes her time. It is not the rushed 5 minutes experience with most primary care docs. She is also very responsive by email - all in all, a great doc to have.
Dr. Park takes the time to listen and explain. Excellent first impression.
I had no idea what to expect going in, but I am really happy with the experience. Dr. Park was really easy to talk to I felt like I finally got someone who listened. She is super smart and im just glad I found a great GP in NYC!
Dr. Parks was great. I enjoyed my visit.
Dr. Susan park was excellent, cheerful, lovable. She is very comfortable in her work. She seems to enjoy what she does. Very informative and I was very relaxed. I highly recommend her. :)

She was very nice .I am pleased .Will continue to see her in future.
Dr. Park is easy to talk to and very informative. Great bedside manner. Clean, efficient office as well.
I was seen within 5 minutes of arriving, Dr. Park was extremely knowledgeable and understanding. She was efficient in diagnosing and scheduling blood work, overall a great experience. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
Extremely thorough and very perceptive. Listened to everything I had to say and really examined everything so there was nothing missed. Explained everything, which was super helpful and impressive. She also explained everything about my results of the blood work and went through everything so I understand what all these test were. Never had a doctor this thorough and smart. She's a keeper!
She was extremely professional and answered all my questions. She is also very personable and made me completely at ease.
She is very professional with a great focus on her patient. She spends quality time you, listens and offers advice if needed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Park.
Dr. Park was great! Very attentive, very easy to talk to. She addressed all of my concerns, and took everything I said into account.
She really listened to everything and we talked everything through. She's very nice, and makes sure she hits every point she needs to ask!
She is concerned for her patients, and takes time to answer questions. I highly recommend her!
Dr. Park was knowledgeable, thorough and kind. I visited her after taking a sick day, urgently looking for someone to see within walking distance. Thanks to ZocDoc, I now have a great MD right in my neighborhood.
She is so wonderful! She is just so down to earth and friendly, and really knows her stuff. I have gone to her several times and she always makes me feel so comfortable! She's an excellent doctor!
Dr Park is so sweet and patient. Definitely felt very comfortable with her.
Dr. Park was definitely the one of the best doctors I have had - it was refreshing to see someone so willing to listen, with great bedside manor and really thorough. Dr. Park's office is not near my home or office, but because of he great reviews I decided to book her for my appointment - very glad that I did!
Was very personable and found things about my health that others hasnt found but explained alot.
Dr. Park is super friendly! Loved her :)

Dr. Park was professional and informative but also friendly and approachable. I felt very comfortable asking her questions. Overall, it was a very pleasant visit to the doctor.
I loved Dr Park, she spent an hour getting to know me and provided a thorough exam. I will definitely return!!
She is compassionate, smart, candid and asks questions that make sense. She also listens well.
Always a pleasure to see her, she is very calm, warm and pleasant to be around. Dr park makes me feel heard and actually listens to what I tell her
Very friendly, however had a noisy waiting room that was shared with another doctor. Otherwise great experience.
She was very thorough and the appointment was not rushed at all. She answered all of my questions and was very friendly. Great experience overall!
Dr. Park was highly professional. She spent time listening to my problems and concerns. Engaged me in the plan of care. She had a very focused approach. She was friendly and non-judgmental.
Dr. Park was very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. I felt very comfortable during my initial meeting and the followup as well. She asked relevant questions about my family history, volunteering great information and answered all the questions I had.
Dr. Park was extraordinary. I've never had a doctor that was so thorough and investigative. I felt that she truly wanted the best for me, and was willing to put in the time & effort to finding effective treatments and solutions. She also spent more than an hour with me - she said she didn't have any other patients after me so she was available to answer any questions or address any other concerns. How awesome is that?
I thought Dr. Park was excellent and very thorough. She took time, listened, and was respectful. I think I may not mind going to the doctor as much as I used to!
Very nice doctor with excellent bedside manner. She was thorough with both examination and explanation and went out her way to make me feel at ease. Highly recommended.
First visit with Dr. Park and after leaving her office I was more than pleased. i can finally call someone "my doctor" Dr. Park was very respectful and never judged me about my lifestyle. Brand new clean office in a great location. I am recommending her to all my clients, friends, and family.
From day 1 Dr. Park proved herself to be capable, thorough and with an excellent bedside manner. And I've a LOT of medical issues to keep her on her toes. She's a wonderful old fashioned type of doctor in many ways, but adds wonderful modern touches, like ZocDoc and email conversations to keep you on your toes!
Dr. Park was extremely professional and very friendly.
All of the ratings about Dr. Park are dead on. She was friendly and relatable. She wasn't judgmental and she was very quick. She explained what needed to be explained and nothing more. Very happy I went to her.
Dr. Park is everything that I could ask for from a doctor. She is very attentive and knowledgable. She takes the time to listen to patient's needs and concerns, and does not rush you out of her office. I don't think she has an assistant at this time (or at least not when I was visiting), but she is very efficient, took care of everything herself (exams, forms, and questions regarding payments). Highly recommended.
Excellent physician
Susan was friendly, informative, and really approachable.
As usual, couldn't ask for a better doctor.
Great doctor no complaints other than finding parking but then again it is the upper east side
It was fine.She was professional, helpful and friendly.
Dr. Park was very professional and I immediately felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend her.
She really took the time to ask questions and get an overview of the sicknesses I've been having. Would definitely recommend.
Extremely sensitive, compassionate, and warm. Excellent!
Dr. Park was great! She really takes time to ask questions about your family history, etc. to make sure her plan for you is right. Highly recommend!
I loved her! She's easy to talk to and spends a lot of time with you.
I loved her! Everything was quick and easy and she put me at ease.
Dr. Park was excellent! She took her time listening to my concerns and was very thorough. She also had a great bedside manner. I would definitely recommend her!
My First time and I feel comfortable
My visit with Dr. Park was excellent. Dr. Park is both very professional and personal. She has a wonderful manner and her diagnosis was right on.
Dr. Park, is very professional and thourough. She also has the faculty to make one feel comfortable and she really listens, she has empathy for her patients. She's reassuring and trustful. In my opinion she has all the qualities one expects from a doctor. After this first visit, I personally will recommend her to other members of my family and friends.
My visit with Dr. Park was very convenient and I really appreciated that she offer Saturday appointments. I found the office to be a little disorderly for a doctor's office, however, and the exam room was not the most clean I've experienced, which was a bit disconcerting.
I had been feeling sick for almost 2 weeks, and I usually go use my college's student services doctors, so it was my first foray into private physicians. Dr. Park saw me same day and was incredibly friendly. Not to mention she accepts my insurance! I definitely recommend her.
Dr Park was wonderful! Would highly recommend!!
She was very friendly and thorough and took time to respond to my concerns.

Childhood behind locked doors
Sophie McNamara
JESSORE, Bangladesh: About 20 or 30 villagers have gathered around Minhaz, 15, as he and his mother discuss his plan for the future. Men wearing lungis (traditional sarongs) and women balancing babies on their hips provide their point of view.
Minhaz's lively family life is a world away from Jessore's Child Development Centre (CDC), where he lived until he was released back into his village two weeks ago. "The centre was no good. This place is much better. I can't live without my uncles and brothers and the rest of my family. I missed them," he says.
The Centre is one of only three juvenile justice centres in Bangladesh, however it also functions as a child protection centre. This means that in addition to detaining children who are convicted of a crime, it also holds children who have no family, children who are referred by their parents for being 'uncontrollable' and children who need witness protection.
Minhaz was in the Centre because he was accused of assisting with child trafficking, even though he is only a child himself. He had inadequate legal representation and was initially refused bail. While he served out a two year sentence, he lost touch with his family. When his case was finally closed he had nowhere to go and remained in the Centre for another year.
UNICEF's Juvenile Justice Diversion pilot project is working to reintegrate children like Minhaz back into the community. The project is based on the belief that many of these children do not belong in the Centre, and that staying there may do more harm than good. This principle of 'diversion' is the cornerstone of international juvenile justice standards, but is not widely recognised by Bengali legislation and legal practice.
The project prioritises children who have no parents or guardians, children without a lawyer, and children whose cases have been pending for extended periods. The process begins with the creation of an individual case management plan for each child. Often the omission of simple details or documents, such as a police report, can leave a child stuck in the centre for years. A multi-disciplinary case management team has been established including members of the police, the Bar Council, local government and UNICEF's partner NGOs, Save the Children UK and Jagrata Jubo Shangha (JJS).
In Minhaz's case, the project provided him with a legal-aid lawyer, and assisted him to reconnect with his family. He was provided with a small lump sum to kick-start his new life, which he spent on the rickshaw van. The project also has the scope to provide money for guardians' income-generating activities so they can support their child.
Probation officer Rezaul Haque visits Minhaz and other reintegrated children at least once a month. As the villagers look on, Rezaul warns the teenager to stay on his best behaviour. "You are out of the centre, but you are not free from the law. You have to answer to the law, to your family, and to me. It is up to you to maintain your freedom," he says.
Minhaz's family and neighbours seem excited to have him back, but sadly, in many cases, parents are unwilling or unable to fulfil their parental duties. Abdul Haque, assistant director of the CDC, says that most of the approximately 100 boys in his centre are from poor or broken families. "Sometimes, when their case finishes, the boy is free and we provide the information to their families, but the family doesn't come. The mother may think that the boy is a burden for her, and is living well in the CDC. So where do they go? They are free but they have no home to go to."
For children who do not know where their family are, or for orphans, the project involves detective work to find suitable guardians. Several techniques are used, such as placing newspaper advertisements, going door-to-door in villages, and conducting in-depth interviews with the child to establish any details they can recall about their homes. UNICEF helps train detention centre staff on in-depth interview techniques and pays for the boys' transport home when they are released. These small changes can mean the difference between a child remaining in the centre, or reintegrating with his family.
Since the diversion pilot project began in June, 12 children have been reintegrated with their families, and 23 other children are having their cases reviewed. There are plans to introduce the project in Bangladesh's other two Child Development Centres in 2010.
As for Minhaz, he and his mother agree that he will pull the rickshaw van in the afternoon, and work in the family farm every morning. "I'm determined to be a good boy, to work hard and help my family," he says.
Names have been changed to protect the identities of the children.

ATLANTIC CITY - Evidence of Adrien Broner's terrific performance Saturday night was displayed on Antonio DeMar-co's face.
By the time DeMarco's corner mercifully tossed a white towel into the ring at Board-walk Hall in the eighth round, purplish bruises and welts had formed under both of DeMarco's eyes.
Broner (25-0, 21 KOs) punished DeMarco (28-3-1, 21 KOs) en route to winning the lightweight championship via TKO before an announced crowd of 4,256.
"I could say I'm good, but that wouldn't be right," Broner said after the fight. "I could say I'm great, but that wouldn't be right. I am elite. I'm an elite fighter that can make a great fighter look like an amateur and I think that's what I did tonight."
While Broner's brashness turns off some boxing fans, no one can dispute his limitless talent.
Broner's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions, described him as a blend of current standout Floyd Mayweather Jr. and former champions Bernard Hopkins and De La Hoya himself.
Caesars Entertainment consultant Ken Condon, who books most of the fights that are held at Boardwalk Hall, was similarly impressed.
"That was an incredible performance," Condon said. "I think Adrien Broner is a special fighter and he'll go as far as he wants to go in the sport. He's that good. I'd love to have him back at Boardwalk Hall."
DeMarco, a rugged Mexican who possesses a sturdy chin, boundless determination and power in both hands, was supposed to pose a serious threat to Broner. The 23-year-old Cincinnati native was moving up a weight class and had not faced top-notch competition in his previous 24 fights.
But aside from the first round, when DeMarco landed some sharp left crosses and body shots, Broner dominated him. From the second round on, he chose to stand in front of DeMarco and proceeded to take him apart with a variety of punches. In the latter rounds, he connected with crisp, short uppercuts that landed with such force that DeMarco's head violently snapped back.
"As we know how to win, we also know how to lose," DeMarco said through an interpreter after the fight. "Without a doubt, Broner is a very complete fighter. This was a great experience for me in my career. I am a very brave guy and I will come back with even more hunger."
Even while absorbing punches that made ringside fans cringe, DeMarco refused to retreat until Broner knocked him backward with a barrage of hooks and uppercuts in the eighth. DeMarco staggered into the ropes and wound up on one knee. DeMarco gleefully danced into a neutral corner while referee Benjy Esteves began to count. DeMarco was about to get up when his trainers halted the fight at one minute, 49 seconds of the round.
Broner connected on 241 of 451 total punches (53 percent) and 216 of 373 power shots (58 percent), according to Com-puBox statistics. Over the last five rounds, he averaged 39 power punches per round, nearly triple the lightweight average of 14.
"It's hard to explain unless you're a fighter, but I know when it's time to box and when it's time to walk a guy down (and apply pressure)," Broner said. "When the eighth round began, I knew it was time to walk him down and end it. I don't go looking for knockouts, but I was able to press him and get the cheese."
Broner's future is bright but uncertain.
The former WBO super-featherweight champ can remain at lightweight and unify the titles against WBO champ Ricky Burns or perhaps move up to junior-welterweight or even welterweight to take on some of the top fighters in those divisions.
"I'll get together with my team and decide what the next move is," Broner said while holding up a diamond-encrusted watch that had a face the size of a bagel. "I'm only 23 years old and as you can see, I have a lot of time on my hands."
In addition to Broner, heavyweight Johnathon Banks and the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City were also big winners at Boardwalk Hall Saturday night.
Banks scored a stunning, second-round knockout over top heavyweight prospect Seth Mitchell.
The Boys and Girls Club received a donation of $44,292 from Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya and Caesars Atlantic City to help rebuild the building that suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Low blood pressure might seem desirable, and for some people, it causes no problems. However, for many people, abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting. In severe cases, low blood pressure can be life-threatening. A blood pressure reading lower than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for the top number (systolic) or 60 mm Hg for the bottom number (diastolic) is generally considered low blood pressure. The causes of low blood pressure can range from dehydration to serious medical or surgical disorders. It's important to find out what's causing your low blood pressure so that it can be treated.

New Delhi: In an unpleasant shock, India's economy is projected to grow 5% in the current fiscal year, the lowest in a decade and substantially lower than the 5.7% projected earlier by the finance ministry.
Worse, the economy, presently estimated at $1.89 trillion (around Rs.100 trillion), would see growth decelerating by almost half from 9.6% in 2006-07. The attendant economic shocks, such as a spurt in excess capacities and retrenchment from the workforce, would, say experts, make it difficult for the economic agents to stage a quick recovery—especially given the inclement global conditions and uncertain domestic polity that is slowing policy initiatives.
The new numbers—advance estimates released on Thursday—show that it is precisely the setback to consumption and investment that's behind the steeper-than-expected shortfall in economic growth now being projected in the current fiscal, while also pointing to a bottoming-out of the economy.
In April-September, the economy grew 5.4%, indicating it may grow 4.6% in the second half of the year. Per-capita income at current prices is estimated to rise 11.7% to Rs.68,747 in 2012-13 from Rs.61,564 in the previous year.
Finance minister P. Chidambaram, who is set to present the Union budget on 28 February, faces the unenviable task of balancing the urgent need for fiscal consolidation without killing the green shoots of growth ahead of the 16th general election due in 2014.
The finance ministry, in a statement, said the growth projection is based on extrapolation of numbers till November and that the actual growth rate is yet to be known.
"Since then (November), leading indicators have turned up, suggesting some hope that we will end the year on a better note. Also, sectors such as trade and transport, which are related to industry, would also tend to get revised upwards, if growth outcomes are better," it added. "We are keeping a watch on the situation. We have taken and will continue to take appropriate measures to revive growth."
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor D. Subbarao said the central bank will take the latest growth estimates into account while framing the monetary policy for its next review in March. Subbarao also said he is looking forward to the coming budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year to get a better sense of the government's fiscal consolidation plans.
Last month, RBI cut its policy rate by 25 basis points to boost growth. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
During the current fiscal year, the agriculture sector is expected to grow at 1.8% compared with 3.86% in the previous year, due to poor monsoon rainfall in June-July, while industrial growth is projected to slow to 3.1% from 3.5% a year ago due to the manufacturing slowdown. The services sector, which constitutes 59% of gross domestic product (GDP), surprised at the downside, with estimated growth of 6.6% compared with 8.2% a year ago, mostly due to the lower estimate of growth for trade, hotels and communications sector.
Pronab Sen, a former chief statistician of India, said he expects the overall GDP number to be revised upwards as more data flows in. "The advance estimates data does not pick up turning points and it tends to magnify current trends. This is the nature of such forecasts. We cannot do much about it," he added.
However, Sen said that seasonally adjusted data shows growth has been flat for the last three quarters. "Though it is quite certain that the economy has bottomed out, we cannot say for sure that it will pick up from here onwards," he added.
D.K. Joshi, chief economist at Crisil Ltd, said the slowdown in growth from 9.3% to 5% could have serious repercussions on job creation and investments in the economy.
"What is happening now is the size of the cake is not growing," Joshi said, referring to the limited opportunities being generated for a young nation where 12 million people are entering the job market every year.
Growth in total consumption, including private consumption, is projected to halve in 2012-13 to 4.1% from 8.1% a year ago. However, investment growth as measured by gross fixed capital formation picked up to 5.1% from 4.4% a year ago.
The consumption slowdown could be due to the relatively higher interest rate environment and containment of government spending, Citibank India economist Rohini Malkani said.
On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the Indian economy is expected to grow at 5.4% in the year. Last week, India's statistics department revised the economic growth data for the year ended 31 March 2012 to 6.2% from 6.5% estimated earlier. The Indian economy faces the risk of decelerating further if the government delays structural reforms in the economy, IMF said.
The overall GDP growth number came as a shock mostly because of lower growth estimates in the services sector, according to Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at CARE Ratings. "Given that investment is not yet picking up and consumption growth remains muted, economic growth in the next fiscal will remain subdued, growing at around 6%," he said.
The trade, hotels and communications sector is estimated to grow at 5.2%, compared with 7% in the last fiscal, while the financing and insurance sector is projected to slow to 8.6% against 11.7% a year earlier. Community and social services, which measure government expenditure, has been estimated to accelerate to 6.8% from 6%.
Sabnavis said that since Chidambaram has been severely cutting Plan expenditure of various ministries to meet his fiscal deficit target, 6.8% growth in community services seems an overestimation and may need to be revised down.
The advance estimates of GDP for the current fiscal year may also make it tougher for the finance minister to achieve the revised fiscal deficit target of 5.3% since the GDP estimated at market price during budget calculations has also fallen short.
While the budget calculations were made assuming 14% GDP growth to Rs.101.6 trillion in terms of market price, Thursday's advance estimates showed GDP at market price to have grown 11.7% to Rs.100.3 trillion. Even if the government sticks to its revised market-borrowing programme, the fiscal deficit may turn out to be 5.45% of GDP.
Sabnavis said it would be a miracle if the finance minister was able to achieve the fiscal deficit target under the current circumstances.

When Detective Thomas Tobin was busting bad guys for the New York City Police, he never imagined that his toughest adversary would turn out to be … pain.
"What I usually have constantly is a dull aching crushing pain like deep in my bones, as if my shin is in a vice or somebody is standing on my foot," he told CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook.
It all started 10 years ago after an operation for a knee injury.
"It was life-changing. I went from working constantly to not working at all," he said.
For years, his only relief was a cocktail of prescribed medications.
"I take about 35 pills a day," he said. "Every day."
Now he's trying something that might seem shocking: an electrical current applied to his head - part of a clinical trial at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.
It's called TDCS, Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. A small electrical current seems to work by affecting pain centers deep within the brain, somehow muffling the perception of pain. The main side effect so far is slight scalp irritation.
Tobin doesn't feel a shock, just a tingling sensation.
"In some way that nobody understands and still seems rather magical, pain might be reduced," said Dr. Russell Portenoy.
The idea dates back 2,000 years, when a Roman physician found he could relieve gout and headache by placing an electric fish on the scalp.
Since then, the technique has been refined.
"It's very early," Portenoy said. "And we don't know how effective it will be. We think it will be very safe."
Thirty years ago, electrodes were surgically implanted deep within the brain. Years later, on the surface. This new approach places them right on the scalp.
This kind of surface stimulation has shown promise in small studies of patients with fibromyalgia and spinal cord injury.
"The idea is when you get the treatment and it is successful and the pain gets better then you can start cutting down the on the medication, and see how low you can go" said Dr. Richard Cruciani.
Every few months, Tobin gets treatments 20 minutes a day for five days. He says his pain drops significantly after therapy and then slowly returns over time.
"I am in a lot less pain today and now it just feels as though I have a sunburn that is a few days old," he said.
This therapy is being tested at several centers around the world and more study is needed, but this new variation on an ancient concept is promising -- using electricity to try to zap the perception of pain.
Could this could work for all kinds of pain?
"That's the hope," says Lapook. "Whatever the cause, it dials down the pain on the brain center. With chronic pain you have to throw the kitchen sink at it. That means integrative medicine, acupuncture, massage, medication in as low doses as possible."

Testing the value of the pound
By the BBC's business reporter, Jonty Bloom.
Now that the election is over you might have hoped that the country's political reporters would take a few days off.
No such luck - now they are speculating like mad about when the UK will have a referendum on joining the euro and what the result will be.
Politics isn't my area and therefore I have little to say about the varying degrees of europhilia and euroscepticism of those sitting around the UK Cabinet table.
But it is fair to say that it is far from certain that there will be a referendum during this parliament.
For a start the Treasury is planning to decide on whether we have passed the five economic test set by the chancellor, Gordon Brown
The Treasury has up to two years to make its mind up, and although it is bound to be a serious exercise, the political side should not be underestimated.
If the government decides it doesn't want to hold a referendum then the tests provide the perfect excuse for not having one.
There is also the matter of the timetable. If the Treasury does not decide on the tests before May 2003, it will probably be too late to have a referendum anyway.
The next election would be too close for comfort.
However, the biggest problem could be outside of the control of politicians or even civil servants - and that is the value of the pound.
Manufacturers have been complaining for years that sterling is far too strong and has been seriously damaging their ability to export.
That is certainly true but up until now the Bank of England has been willing to put up with that because a high pound translates into low inflation.
However, we could not join the euro at anything like this rate - remember what happened when we joined the ERM at the wrong rate?
Therefore the pound is going to have to fall against the euro fairly dramatically over the next 18 months or so, perhaps by as much as 10-15%.
The governor of the Bank of England, Sir Edward George, has already started making noises about the implication of such a fall.
He is worried a sharp devaluation of the pound would spell disaster for the Bank's carefully nurtured reputation for controlling prices in the UK.
But if the pound can not be brought down quickly and gently, it seems highly unlikely that it will be able to join the euro in the near future.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will be well represented at this week's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
This year's conference, whose theme is Science and Technology from a Global Perspective, takes place Feb. 14-18 in Boston.
LLNL's National Ignition Facility (NIF) will take center stage on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8:30 a.m. Edward Moses, Principal Associate Director for NIF and Photon Science, along with Chief Scientist for NIF John Lindl will participate in a symposium entitled "High-Powered Lasers: Fusion Ignition and Concomitant Scientific Opportunities."
In the half century since lasers were invented, their output has grown from millijoules to megajoules and from milliwatts to petawatts. Leading this evolution is the National Ignition Facility, along with other next-generation laser systems currently under construction or design in Europe and Japan. NIF is expected to achieve fusion ignition, producing temperatures and densities approaching those at the core of the sun, along with brief neutron densities that are far beyond those of any other terrestrial source. This effort may have an obvious effect on the global energy situation.
Moses' will present "National Ignition Facility: Ushering in a New Era for Experimental Science." Lindl will speak about "Basics of Inertial Confinement Fusion."
The symposium was organized by LLNL's Richard Boyd and Karl van Bibber.
Moses and Lindl will be available for media interviews following the session.
On Saturday afternoon, Feb. 16, David K. Smith, a senior nuclear forensics adviser at LLNL, will speak at a symposium entitled "Atomic Detectives: Nuclear Forensics and Combating Illicit Trafficking." Smith's presentation will focus on "Tools to Detect Undeclared Nuclear Activities."
Cherry Murray, LLNL's Principal Associate Director for Science and Technology, was an organizer of a session entitled "50 Years of the Space Age: Looking Back, Looking Forward." The session is scheduled Friday, Feb. 15 at 8:30 a.m.
Speakers include former astronaut Kathy Sullivan, the first of only seven American women to walk in space; Roald Sagdeev, author of "The Making of a Soviet Scientist: My Adventures in Nuclear Fusion and Space from Stalin to Star Wars"; and Gilberto Camara, director of Brazil's National Institute for Space Research.
LLNL's Chief Scientist Karl van Bibber will take part in a session "The Global Dimension of Research Infrastructures" on Monday, Feb. 18, which includes representatives from several European research facilities.
Michael May, former LLNL Lab Director (1965-71), will report on the "Results of a Joint Study of Nuclear Forensics" at a symposium entitled "Nuclear Forensics and Global Nuclear Deterrence." The symposium takes place Saturday, Feb. 16, at 3:30 p.m.
AAAS is an international non-profit organization, dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association. In addition to organizing membership activities, AAAS publishes the peer-reviewed journal Science, which has an estimated total readership of one million.
Founded in 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a national security laboratory, with a mission to ensure national security and apply science and technology to the important issues of our time. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.

The latest lawyer to represent troubled actor Robert Blake in his murder trial has requested a judge delay the trial, because he won't be prepared for the currently scheduled September (04) start date.
GERALD SCHWARTZBACH - who is the fourth attorney to defend Blake, and has been doing so since March (04) - made his plea at a hearing at the Van Nuys courthouse in California on Friday (18JUN04).
Schwartzbach denied he was intentionally delaying the case, instead arguing he needs the time to study boxes of audio and video recordings and to look at over 60,000 pages of evidence.
He said, "It's highly unlikely I can be ready by 9 September (04).
"Mr Blake wants to see this case go to trial as soon as possible. He wants to be vindicated as soon as possible. But he wants me to be prepared."
And the lawyer - who has relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles to represent Blake - was keen to point out to the judge that the reason for the delay has nothing to do with how much he will get paid.
He said, "My fee does not go up one penny if this case is continued. It's not humanly possible for me to do more than I have been doing."
Prosecution lawyers argue Blake is changing his legal representation in order to continuously delay the start of the trial.
Former BARETTA star Blake, 70, is charged with the 2001 murder of his wife Bonny Lee Bakley. He denies the charge.21/06/2004 17:34

Seton Hill senior jumper Calsie Boyd has always been a goal setter. That's why it was no surprise when she snatched fourth place and All-American honors in the high jump at the NCAA Division II indoor championships in Birmingham, Ala., on March 8.
Boyd cleared 1.60 meters, 1.65 meters, 1.70 meters and 1.73 meters but failed at all three attempts at 1.76.
Her accomplishments mark the best finish for any Seton Hill athlete in an NCAA championship event. She is the school's second female track athlete to be named All-American.
She also competed in the triple jump, where she finished 16th. Her best jump was her first when she hit 11.75 meters.
"I can't believe it," Boyd said. "It's something I've been working toward since freshman year, and it is incredible. And it has me pushing harder for outdoor nationals because I want to get All-American in triple jump and in high jump to end my entire track and field career. It really kind of lit the fire for me."
Actually, Boyd was preparing for success long before college. At Richland High School in Johnstown, she was determined to get a college scholarship for track and field. She sought out the guidance of jumping coach Wally Miller to create the foundation for her colligate career.
"The one thing that I always noticed about her is that she sets goals for herself, and once they are set that's it," said Gene Brisbane, Seton Hill's jumping coach. "She's going to do it, and it's going to be taken care of. And that's exactly what she did."
Her second year at indoor nationals, Boyd used her year of experience to calm her nerves and stay focused. Last year she placed 10th in the high jump and 13th in the triple jump.
"I was a lot more at ease (this year)," Boyd said. "I knew what to expect and a lot of the girls I've seen at nationals already, so it wasn't that much of an adjustment."
Boyd was joined at the national meet by senior Aron Kurzinski, who finished sixth in the long jump, marking the end of his collegiate career. His best mark was 7.36 meters, followed by 7.15 meters and 7.20 meters.
Kurzinski suffered an injury after his third jump but continued on to the next three — fouling the first two — and finished with a 7.14-meter jump. It would be enough to give him All-American honors.
"It shows that he really cared about being there," said Tim Creamer, head track and field coach. "Not just, 'I'm here, great. Whatever happens, happens.' It really showed that he cared about competing and trying to reach that goal of an All-American award."
Kurzinski's career will end because he has used all of his eligibility, while Boyd will continue to train for the outdoor track and field season. Her hopes are to earn All-American honors for the high jump and the triple jump.
It will not come without more preparation. For her last season, Boyd will work on adding speed and consistency to her triple jump.
"Anything she's put her mind to, she's achieved," Creamer said. "She's got a taste of being All-American once. Now she wants to place higher and get it twice. That's kind of what will push her."

For a writer based in North Andover, Mass. it must be tough to fill up the margins on a Sunday in January. Especially when the Patriots have been eliminated from Super Bowl contention, the Celtics are underachieving and the Red Sox are well, quiet for the moment.
That's the only logical explanation one can give for Hector Longo's piece in the Sunday edition of the Eagle-Tribune.
It's been nine years since the Patriots last claimed a Super Bowl title, and Longo suggests that a change might be needed in Foxboro.
What kind of change you ask?
Longo says the team should look into trading two-time NFL MVP and soon-to-be Canton-bound quarterback Tom Brady. Although Longo still believes Brady is an elite quarterback, after yet another disappointing postseason performance he's not convinced that the team has enough championship-caliber parts to ever get back to their Lombardi Trophy-winning days.
So what team does Longo think would be the best fit for the eight-time Pro Bowler's services?
Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals.
First and foremost, the Cardinals can't hurt you. In the NFC West, Brady is as far away as possible. Unless he plays another five years — highly unlikely — the only place you'll encounter Brady again on the field of battle is at a Super Bowl.
The Cardinals have the ammunition to attract the Patriots to the negotiating table. Remember, they pick at No. 7, an attractive spot for this draft, which has already been fortified by over 70 underclassmen.
Arizona also has incredible need. Most draftniks currently have the Cards dabbling with the likes of USC QB Matt Barkley or West Virginia's Geno Smith in the first round.
For a team that played four quarterbacks in 2012 and was 28th in passing offense it's nice to dream, but it's hard to fathom Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft parting ways with the face of their franchise.
Regardless, after hearing names like Michael Vick and Alex Smith projected as free agent targets for the Cardinals, a Brady rumor now and again never hurt anyone.
And for a town that has had it's fair share of news lately, what's one more major headline, right?

Camp Plunkett, circa 1917
Camp Plunkett, circa 1917
D'Onofrio, Jayne M.
Wakefield, Mass. : Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department,

"Located at what is now Camp Curtis Guild, Camp Plunkett was originally owned by the Bay State Rifle Association. During World War I, the camp was leased to the United States Navy and used as a naval rifle range. Many sailors were invited to the homes of Wakefield residents, and townspeople offered them rides as part of the 'give 'em a lift club.' It was during this time that the wooden barracks and the mess hall were erected. At the end of World War I, Camp Plunkett was returned to the rifle association. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts purchased the camp in 1926 for a sum of $65,000 and renamed it Camp Curtis Guild in honor of former Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., 'in consideration of his public service and intimate connection with the military forces of the state and nation.' The camp was called into action during World War II by the First Service Command as a staging area for the Port of Boston. It was also used as a training area for the US Coast Guard. The camp is now home to the Massachusetts National Guard." -- Text from calendar by Jayne M. D'Onofrio.

Just as the first track, "Windzeit," finished, I was going to jump in prematurely, and think "Wintersun?" But upon just concluding the second track, "Wolfszeit," I was going to jump in too early and say out loud "Ensiferum?" However, suddenly, a good thing happened: The style deviated, and in a damn good way.
This powerful, fairly new, German "Pagan" metal band (category debatable) has stunned me with their deliciously precise and technically articulate performance. To add to the tasty combination of technical drumming, shredded riffs, beautiful melodic leads and diverse, harsh vocals, the lyrical theme is committed solely to Norse mythology, and refers somewhat to Asatru/Odinism. Interspersed with blasting metal frenzies, are tastefully-composed mini-sections of folken intermissions, played on nilon accoustic guitars, with atmospheric sounds to compliment the music, such as water, wind, synths, etc., which has the key effect.
Although each song deviates somewhat from each previous track in style and vocal performance, there is still that apparent element of Viking horde endeavors, enstated by the powerful vocals and very prominent Viking style. In the track "Schlachtgebet," an extremely eccentric and moving sound track, containing the sound of a very desparate man, repeatedly bellowing "ODIN!!!", followed by German chanting (of which I couldn't understand, unfortunately) is one of many areas in the effort where the primary elements of strength and honour, in devotion to the Norse Lords are.
Production-wise, this masterpiece is next to perfect. Although the bass has been somewhat under-mixed, it is well-compensated by the professionally-done drum, guitar, synth and vocal mixing.
Sitting and listening to this album over and over again, has brought me to a deep trance, reflecting on my roots and our ancestor's history as a continental force. This is certainly on the line of national pride and vigilance. With this album, in alliance with similar metal ensembles, pounding in the background, it sets imagery of clashing forces, on one side is a ruthless desire to destroy, rape and pillage, and on the other side, is the desparation to remain vigilant and defensive at all costs. In this respect, this album sets the bar for many in a powerful merging of Pagan and Viking ideals and aspiration and extreme melodic metal.
Absolutely magnificant.

Liberty Takes Series Opener, 12-2
Ryan Cordell drove in five runs to back another strong pitching performance by John Niggli, as the Liberty Flames defeated the St. John's Red Storm, 12-2, Friday afternoon at Worthington Stadium.
Cordell's five RBIs are a new career-high for the first baseman. The sophomore had two hits, including a bases-clearing double in the eighth inning.
Niggli, the reining Big South Pitcher of the Week, pitched eight strong innings to remain unbeaten at 4-0. He allowed two runs on eight hits, striking out six batters and walking one.
Liberty moves to 14-1, tying the 1995 Flames for the best start to a season in program history. With the win, Liberty has won seven straight games. St. John's drops to 4-7 on the year.
The Red Storm posted a run in its opening at bat, only to see the host Flames answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the first inning. St. John's center fielder Martin Kelly led off the game with single and advanced to third on a double by first baseman Pat Talbut. Shortstop Matt Wessinger followed with a ground out to score Kelly for a 1-0 visitor advantage.
Liberty's Andy Smith knotted the contest in the bottom of the frame. The center fielder ripped his second home run of the season over the right field wall, evening the score at 1-1.
The Flames took the lead for good in the third inning. Left fielder Ian Parmley walked and stole both second and third bases. He then scored on an infield single by right fielder Michael Robertson for a 2-1 edge.
In the fifth, Liberty extended its lead, plating four runs with five hits. After shortstop Zach Haley and Parmley opened the inning with singles, Robertson plated both runners with a one-out single. Later in the frame, designated hitter Alex Close reached on an infield single and Cordell brought home both runners with a two-out single to push the Flames' advantage to 6-1.
Liberty upped its lead in its next at bat. Robertson drove in the first run of the sixth inning with a fielder's choice and second baseman Bryan Aanderud followed with a RBI single to make it, 8-1 Flames.
After being held scoreless since the first inning by Niggli, St. John's got on the scoreboard in the seventh. Third baseman Sean O'Hare led off the top of the inning with his first home run of the season, trimming the Liberty advantage to 8-2
The Flames added four runs for the final score of 12-2. Aanderud singled home the first run of the inning, while Cordell cleared the bases with his extra base hit down the left field line.
Red Storm starter Kyle Hansen falls to 0-4 on the year. The right-hander gave up six runs on seven hit over five innings. The first of four pitchers in the contest, he struck out five batters and walked two.
Liberty had 11 hits in the contest. Robertson had a season-high four RBIs, while Parmley scored three runs. St. John's recorded eight hits in the game, as Daniel Brown retire the side in order for the Flames in the top of the ninth.
St. John's and Liberty will meet again in a doubleheader at Worthington Stadium. First pitch of game one is scheduled for 1 p.m.

NAGOYA – A high school student died after being struck by lightning Wednesday during a baseball game at a school in Fusocho, Aichi Prefecture, police said.
Shoki Ando, 17, a pitcher for the private Seishin High School, was on the mound when he was struck by a thunderbolt during a game against an unnamed high school, according to Inuyama Police Station sources. The police were informed about the lightning strike by phone at 1:15 p.m.
The second-year student and resident of Oguchicho fell into cardiopulmonary arrest and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where his pulse briefly recovered before he died, the sources said.
Ando was struck as the game was going on in front of about 100 spectators, including parents and other high school students. The game had been briefly suspended due to rain starting at 1 p.m.
Police quoted witnesses as saying they heard distant thunder first, and then after about 10 seconds the lightning bolt hit the student with a loud "bang."
"We need to remind ourselves thunder may feel distant, but an incident like this could happen," Mitsuo Kurachi, principal of Seishin High School, said after the incident. He said the school will create an instruction manual to address thunderstorm situations.
The Nagoya Local Meteorological Observatory had issued a thunderstorm warning early Wednesday, but the school was not aware of it, Kurachi said.

failure to fire .22 short berreta 950bs
1 Attachment(s)
Attachment 54482
If I spin the round it will usually fire
A friend of mine has a 1911 .22 and a little walther .22 and no matter what ammo goes in them they always jam or not fire every few times
The recoil spring might be the problem
IF the rim is being dented, the problem MAY be that the gun has been excessively dry fired, dinging up the mouth of the chamber. Check and see if there is a ding. If so DO NOT REMOVE IT- you want a smith to "iron" the metal back in place with a chamber iron.
If the rim is NOT being dented by the firing pin, then you may have a FP problem- chipped, dirty, not lubed.
By "spin" the round, are you saying that the hammer strikes the round once without firing, but by rotating in chamber and hitting it a second time, then it fires?
One of three things, the ammo or the main spring or (as stated above, the .22 was dry-fired and) parts are deformed.
Most semi-auto .22s require a HV round to work properly. Care must be taken on which HV ammo you get. CCI does not recommend Stingers in those that the chamber is not cut to the ANSI specs. And most European .22 are not to American National Standards Institute specs.
I'm using Remington .22 shorts , no dents ding or any dirt after excessive cleaning, and its American made
And all all strike look good
First thing I would do is get different ammo.
The is a common occurence even with quality vest pocket pistols.
That's why so many cops choose the centerfire .25 ACP over the .22 for deep cover back ups.
Thank you I got some Winchester ammo I'm trying in the morning

Stromboli (food)
Homemade stromboli
|Place of origin
|United States
|Region or state
|Essington, Pennsylvania
|Created by
|Nazzareno Romano
|Main ingredients
|Bread dough, cheese (typically mozzarella), meat or vegetables
|Cookbook: Stromboli Media: Stromboli
Stromboli is a type of turnover filled with various cheeses (typically mozzarella) and cold cuts (typically Italian meats such as salami, capocollo and bresaola) or vegetables. The dough used is either Italian bread dough or pizza dough.
Stromboli was invented in the United States in the 1950s.[citation needed] It was named after the Italian film Stromboli.
A stromboli is somewhat similar to a calzone. A calzone is a baked turnover stuffed with pizza ingredients. A stromboli is usually made by rolling up dough that has been topped with pizza ingredients and then baking it. A calzone is crescent-shaped, and a stromboli is usually shaped like a long cylinder. The distinction between the two is complicated by the fact that there is some variation in what constitutes a stromboli.[1][2][3]
Many American pizza shops serve a stromboli using pizza dough that is folded in half with fillings, similar to a half-moon-shaped calzone.[2] At other establishments, a stromboli is made with a square-shaped pizza dough that can be topped with any pizza toppings and is then rolled into a cylindrical jelly roll shape and baked. Other variations include adding pizza sauce or deep-frying, similar to panzerotti.[3]
There are several claims regarding the origin of the usage of the name stromboli for food in the United States.
Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria claims to have first used the name in 1950 in Essington, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, courtesy of Nazzareno Romano. The pizzeria owner had experimented with "pizza imbottito", or "stuffed pizza", and added ham, cotechino salami, cheese and peppers into a pocket of bread dough.[3] His future brother-in-law suggested he name it after the recently released movie Stromboli, notorious for an off-screen affair between married actress, Ingrid Bergman, and married director, Roberto Rossellini, resulting in a love child.[2]
In 1954, Mike Aquino of Mike's Burger Royal in Spokane, Washington says he also named the sandwich after the same movie.[4] Aquino's version included capicola ham and provolone cheese covered in an Italian chili sauce on a French bread roll.[3]
