text: Email gurus Paul Kincaid-Smith and Carly Brantz kicked off the first of SendGrid's monthly webcasts a year ago this month with a deep dive into the challenges of maintaining a good sender reputation. Over the past year, we have tackled new topics each month, ranging from technical API workshops to best practices for incorporating marketing into your transactional email. Each month we heard from many people who are struggling with the basics of email deliverability and didn't even know where to start. In response to the demand for a better introduction to email deliverability, we are adding an additional webcast that will provide a comprehensive overview of email deliverability as well as the opportunity to get your questions answered with a real live expert. Instead of just putting this content in our resources section for on-demand access, we will be holding this webcast monthly in addition to our current webcast series to give people the opportunity to get their questions answered as they start to tackle their email deliverability challenges. For the first webcast in this new series, SendGrid's customer success representative Corey Good will join me to offer the same tips and tricks he gives to our customers every day as he helps them stay on the good side of the ISPs while keeping spammers out of our system. The webcast will take place this Tuesday, April 16th at 1:00PM EST. Sign up here, get your questions ready, and prepare to take on the challenging world of email deliverability. Presenter Info: Corey Good: Corey has been working with SendGrid's Compliance team for the last five months, learning the ins and outs of good deliverability practices. He has recently been focusing on SendGrid's customers who use shared IP clusters to help keep those shared IPs in good standings. He is also a part-time developer, working with the Support Incubator group to create tools to make the Support team's job easier. Outside of work, Corey is an avid rock climber, ultimate frisbee player, skier, and he enjoys brewing beer. Danny Randa: After three years managing interactive marketing campaigns for Nickelodeon, Danny moved to Denver and completed an MBA at the Leeds School of Business. He now spends his time helping marketers and developers solve their email deliverability challenges. Danny can often be found trying to keep up with his adventurous wife and two wheaten terriers.

How to Make Soft and Tender Dinner Rolls
What's a dinner party without a basket of warm rolls on the table? The softer and fluffier the better, I say. All the better to sop up those last bits of sauce. Here's how I make my absolute favorite, foolproof dinner rolls, a perfect addition to any table.
These are dinner rolls that you can trust. They are soft and tender, but with enough substance to them that they won't break apart under the butter knife. They have a mild sweetness that goes equally well with a Sunday chicken dinner or a casual potluck brunch.
You can make these rolls from start to finish in the span of a few hours, and they are excellent fresh from the oven. All those recipes that tell you to wait until the bread is cool before eating? Don't listen to them here. For mid-week meals, freeze a batch and warm them up for a few minutes in the oven before serving.
Very astute observers will note that this recipe is nearly identical to our recipe for Hamburger Buns. That's because I love the dough from that recipe so much that I use it any time I want a tender, soft bread to go with our meals. (Heck, the recipe is also pretty close to my favorite Sandwich Bread recipe, too!) For these dinner rolls, I just divide the dough into more pieces to make smaller buns and bake them in a casserole dish to help them reach puffy perfection — and also because the tear-away edges make me nostalgic for my grandmother's rolls.
How to Make Soft & Tender Dinner Rolls
Makes 12 rolls
What You Need
1 tablespoon
active-dry yeast
1/2 cup
(4 oz) warm water
1/2 cup
(4 oz) milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
large egg
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
3 cups
(15 oz) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
- Equipment
Standing mixer or a mixing bowl, if making rolls by hand
Bench scraper or sharp knife
Parchment paper
9x13 baking dish
Combine the ingredients for the dough: In the bowl of a standing mixer (or a large bowl, if mixing by hand), stir the yeast into the warm water and let it sit until dissolved. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, oil, sugar, and salt. Add this to the yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add all the flour and stir until it forms a shaggy dough.
Knead the dough: Knead at low speed, or by hand against the counter, for 8-10 minutes, until smooth but slightly tacky. It should spring back when poked.
Let the dough rise: Cover the mixing bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
Shape the rolls: Dust your work surface with a little flour and turn the risen dough out on top. Divide the dough into 12 pieces with a bench scraper. To shape into rolls, tuck the edges underneath to form a plump little package, then roll the dough against the counter or between your palms until round.
→ Read more about this technique: How to Shape Dinner Rolls.
Heat the oven and let the rolls rise: Line a 9x13 pan with parchment and spray with nonstick coating. Arrange the rolls inside the pan spaced a little apart. Let the rolls rise until they look pillowy and fill the pan roughly 30-40 minutes.
While the rolls are rising, pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
Brush the rolls with butter. Melt the butter and brush it over the risen dinner rolls. This helps the tops to brown and keeps the crust soft.
Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls until golden, 15-18 minutes. Lift the rolls from the pan using the parchment and let the rolls cool on a wire rack until cool enough to handle. They are best if eaten within a day or two, but will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. Rolls can also be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in a warm oven (See Recipe Note).
Recipe Notes
Whole Wheat Rolls: Substitute 1/2-1 cup of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and prepare the recipe as usual. The texture of the rolls will be a bit more dense, but still very delicious.
Doubling the Recipe: Double all of the ingredients except for the yeast. To make even more rolls, it's best to prepare separate batches as the dough becomes too cumbersome to work with easily.
Baking Rolls on a Sheet Pan: These rolls can also be backed on a sheet pan if you'd prefer not to have the tear-away edges. Line a sheet pan with parchment or non-stick liner and space the rolls a few inches apart.
Freezing Dinner Rolls: Dinner rolls can be made and frozen for up to 3 months. See more about here: How to Freeze & Reheat Dinner Rolls.

Next weekend offers a rare opportunity to see Joel Sternfeld's Photographs of the High Line as part of Luhring Augustine's booth at the ADAA Art Show 2009 at the Park Avenue Armory.
Back in 2000, in the dawning hours of Friends of the High Line, co-founders Robert Hammond and Joshua David asked noted photographer Joel Sternfeld to walk the High Line to take photographs. The pictures Joel took in the subsequent seasons chronicled the allure and natural grace of the High Line, and played a crucial role in alerting the public to the potential of what many saw from below as abandoned ruins. Adam Gopnik wrote about Joel in the May 21st, 2001 issue of the New Yorker:
The poet-keeper of the High Line is the photographer Joel Sternfeld. He has been taking pictures of it in all seasons for the past year, and he has a gift for seeing light and space and color-romantic possibility of every kind-where a less sensitive observer sees smudge and weed and ruin. The High Line does not offer a God's-eye view of the city, exactly, but something rarer, the view of a lesser angel: of a cupid in a Renaissance painting, of the putti looking down on the Nativity manger.
Joel's photographs offered a deeper insight into the limitless possibilities of the High Line, and a glimpse of the beauty hidden from view of those looking from down below, casting a spotlight on the nascent advocacy group. Walking the High Line, the out-of-print book of Joel's photographs, is currently selling for as much as $690.00 on Amazon.com. Luckily for fans, there is an anticipated second edition printing to be sold in conjunction with park opening, with a much more reasonable price tag.
Luhring Augustine will display Photographs of the High Line as part of a solo exhibition of Joel Sternfeld's Walking the High Line at the ADAA Art Show 2009, Booth B14.

Samantha Barks to play Eponine in Les Miserables
Samantha Barks has won the role of Eponine in Tom Hooper's 'Les Miserables'.
The actress - who played the character on the London stage in 2010 - will join an all-star cast including Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway in the eagerly anticipated musical, which begins filming shortly.
It was previously thought country singer Taylor Swift may be playing the role of the unlucky-in-love teenager, but producer Cameron Mackintosh confirmed on stage in Manchester Samantha had the part.
Other stars of the film include Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfriend and Aaron Tveit.
It will be the first movie role for Samantha, who initially came to fame on TV competition 'I'd Do Anything', which was looking for a young woman to play the part of Nancy in musical 'Oliver!'.
The picture is the first one for Tom Hooper since he won the Academy Award for Best Director for 'The King's Speech', starring Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush, and it is expected to be released on January 11, 2013.

A MeriTalk survey sponsored by DLT Solutions and Google finds employees spend a month each year looking for data they don't know how to find

so what are the best information database products out there? Is there one group that offers an architecture that connects Asset Management, for life-cycles, maintenance, software compliance...one central connection to unit all the data bases for strategic planning of personnel and asset costs.
Many of our databases are designed to help generate standard reports for upper management or even our headquarters management. They don't ask for or use any feedback from the field, because it doesn't help them get their job done. If we need information, we often have to pick it our of several locations from different databases or even other agencies.
As an environmental engineer working for the Feds, I need google to find regulations. Have you ever tried to find anything on EPAs web site? Or on most state web sites? The information is often there, regulations, enforcement policy, permit applications, etc., but it is a struggle to find. If not for Google or Yahoo search engines, I would have to resort to searching hardcopies my agency is too cheap to buy.
we have a combination of problems, too many databases, poorly constructed databases, employees that merely fill seats based on contract/contractor warm-body counts. remove external web access from all their computers and i bet productivity sky rockets.

Fontana >> The blue banner with yellow letters suction cupped on a Cardenas Market window says it all.
"Millionaire made here. Are you next?" it reads in capital letters.
Someone who purchased a ticket at the grocery store in the 8900 block of Sierra Avenue won the Powerball lottery during Saturday night's drawing, the California Lottery announced Sunday.
Whoever had 10, 53, 17, 25, 45, 9 won the $60 million prize. But the winner has not yet collected their cash — the cash option is $35.9 million before federal taxes, according to lottery officials.
Store manager Richard Ruiz is curious about the winner.
We don't know what day the ticket was sold, if it was a quick pick or if someone manually selected the winning combination, he said.
"It's all a big mystery," Ruiz said.
Ruiz's boss, the store owner, will receive $300,000 "just for selling the winning ticket," California Lottery said in the announcement.
Powerball is a multi-state game played in California, 42 other states, plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to California Lottery news release.
Draw times are Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7:59 p.m. PST. Tickets are $2 and can be purchased from any of the more than 21,000 California Lottery retailers.

User:Pranav Rathi/Notebook/OT/2013/01/11/Getting started with Arduino
Getting started with Arduino. This page discusses the process of installation and usage of Arduino through LabView V9. I used Ardunio mega 2560 with Labview V9 and windows 7, but the process would be similar to all Arduino boards and Labview versions. First thing first connect the Arduino to the computer, window is going to look for the driver and fail but that is alright.
Checkout the slideshow for more information.
Driver installation
Use the link [1] to download the drivers to the computer. Now go to the control panel->system and security-> system-> Device Manager->Port (COM & LPT)->Drivers->update Driver->Browse->find the folder of drivers just downloaded->install and restart the computer. During the process Arduino will not show in ports but as soon as the drivers are installed successfully it will show as Arduino Mega 2560 (com#). See slides 2 to 9 for more information.
Now to check if the drivers are installed correctly; start Arduino IDE (IDE is in the folder just downloaded) and go to tools->serial ports->com(#) and tools->board->Arduino (board type). To check further upload a simple code to Arduino and see if it works. A variety of codes can be found through this link [2]. Blink LED code is the simplest one because it does not need any external circuit it uses the LED on-board connected to pin13 (see slide 10). If it works then congratulation your Arduino is installed and working.
LabView Arduino Interface and Firmware installation
Before starting make sure that LabView VISA is installed. Labview toolkit for Arduino can be downloaded through this link [3]. You need an account with National Instruments which is free->login->follow the links-> download and install the VIMP->download and install toolkit.
Check if VIMP package manager shows the most current LabView interface for Arduino (see slide 11). VI package manager can be found in C (drive)->program files (x86)->national instruments->VI package manager (see slide 12 and 13). Click on LabView interface; it will show the current version of LabView and all the updates.
Now it's time to upload the LIFA (LabView interface for Arduino) firmware to Arduino. First locate LIFA on the computer C->Program Files (x86)->National Instruments->LabVIEW 2009->vi.lib->LabVIEW Interface for Arduino->firmware->LIFA_base->LIFA_Base.info. The file you are looking for LIFA_Base.info. Now start Arduino IDE click on file and than open and now browse to the firmware folder you located and select LIFA-Base.info (see slide 14 and 15). A new IDE window will appear with all the sketch files in LIFA_Base folder, upload them one by one to Arduino. If you do not upload the LIFA_Base.info first, than it will show compile error while uploading other files. If you still see an error than go to Arduino or NI forum for the reference. While uploading the LED on the board will blink and keep blinking during the process.
Once the process is done quit and close IDE and your board is ready to get controlled by LabView. To check if it is working a simple program is given in slide 16. Connect 3.3V pin to A0in with a wire and run the program if the dial shows the right voltage your Arduino-LabView works.

Gosselin: 'The more Tony Romo throws, the worse the Cowboys are'
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Thursday's episode featuring Rick Gosselin and Barry Horn:
On the Cowboys offense:
Gosselin: "You have to max protect. The Eagles have an offensive line that is dreadful and the Cowboys only had two sacks. They went to a max protect. I think the Cowboys are going to have to do that. You have to help these blockers. You can't leave Doug Free out there alone. That middle three are bigger, but they aren't better than they were a year ago. Again, they have to find three or four running plays that work and wear them out. Find the one guy who can block for the run and wear them out when Murray gets back. I think that's how they are going to make the playoffs. Run the ball and play defense. The more Tony throws, the worse they are."
Horn: "The only thing I'll say about the Cowboys offense yesterday is they didn't have the ball in the fourth quarter. It looks like Tony if he doesn't have it, is going down a lot quicker. He wants to go down because he doesn't want to get hurt."
Gosselin: "I think what we're seeing over the last couple of weeks is Tony Romo has stopped looking at the whole field. He's going to Jason Witten. That's the one receiver he trusts. Kevin Ogletree, they didn't even bother throwing him a pass last week. Dez Bryant and Miles Austin are getting a few passes, but he's going to Witten. I think when DeMarco Murray gets back, it's going to be a very simple offense. Hand the ball to Murray and throw the ball to Witten."

i'm so glad the LLLeader was helpful - that's great.
this is a good example of when weighing too frequently can be a problem - we panic about every little dip, and don't see the long-term or larger picture. (saying that not just for OP but for others who may be reading). so - are you weighing at home? it might be time to just let baby nurse nonstop for a few days to catch up and get better at his new skillz and put the scale away. once-weekly weighings are PUH-lenty for most babies! that'll give you a good idea of the trend.
edited to add: what an exciting birth! i take it that wasn't the plan; glad it worked out for everyone!

* (out of four)
Before explaining anything about the largely joke-free comedy "The FP," let's go to the numbers.
2: Number of used condoms thrown
78: Approximate number of times someone is called "bitch"
396: Estimated number of times white people call each other the N-word, which is apparently extra funny because one character claims he is "Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished." Take note of the acronym for that phrase. Or don't.
Riffing on '80s dance movies like "Breakin'" that no one takes seriously in the first place, "The FP" also doesn't seem to realize that no one has talked about Dance-Dance Revolution since, I don't know, Justin Timberlake left 'N Sync. So centering a near-futuristic sci-fi/action flick around a dance video game called Beat-Beat Revelation, which can kill a player who loses badly enough, isn't that clever. Ditto for the game spouting lines like "mad whack" and the multiple training montages the film uses to reference the widely known abundance of training montages in movies like this.
Get it? "The FP" means to be terrible, and it is. Co-writer/co-director Jason Trost stars as eye patch-wearing JTRO, who swears off Beat-Beat Revelation after it kills his brother. Needless to say, JTRO makes a comeback to avenge his brother and calm tensions between rival factions warring over control of a liquor store in the small town of Frazier Park. People talk repeatedly about street cred and say "For realz," which I can only assume the script spellz with a z.
The "South Park" episode about a deadly dance-off kills me. "The FP" offers morons in fingerless gloves and neon who barely know what they're joking about. If you give this garbage 80 minutes of your life, you deserve to get served.

Qucs is a circuit simulator with graphical user interface. The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, Harmonic Balance analysis, noise analysis, etc. Until now there is no or little user documentation available. The Qucs application has an integrated help system giving the user useful but yet limited help with the program. We are searching for people who want to support the project by creating more documentation. The internal help system is also multi-lingual, thus translations into languages other than English, German, French and Spanish have to be done. If you are interested then feel free to write a email to: contact. It is planned to have user manuals consisting of * the integrated multi-lingual help system These should be little helpers with the program itself available during runtime including a getting started guide and brief descriptions of what is what in the graphical user interface (GUI). The documentation is written in simple HTML pages and focuses on the GUI. * an english user manual with some more details The actual user manual should contain a more detailed description of the simulation backend including the available program options, components and simulation types. The user manual focuses on the simulator and should be written in the Texinfo (texi) format, i.e. means it can be easily converted into info and HTML pages. * tutorials about how to use Qucs Topic-related tutorials dealing with certain issues, real life applications and how to handle these with Qucs.

WEST POINT — Boo Corrigan grew up in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
WEST POINT — Boo Corrigan grew up in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Corrigan's father, Gene, was the league's commissioner from 1987-97. Maryland athletics were a staple of the conference.
So on Monday, when Corrigan, Army's athletic director, heard Maryland was leaving the ACC for the Big Ten, he was a little more than surprised.
"I'm shocked," Corrigan said. "You have to understand the history that my family has with the ACC. Maryland is one of the founding members of the ACC."
The college football landscape continues to change. Rutgers announced Tuesday it's leaving the Big East to join Maryland in the Big Ten in 2014.
Do the moves change Army's position as one of four independent Football Bowl Subdivision teams?
"Eighteen months ago, it seemed like everything was settled," Corrigan said. "Now, clearly, it's unsettled. That being said, we are still comfortable where we are. We are evaluating all the moves that are going on, but we really like where we are. We are concentrating on what we can do to be the best Army football team. ... We've got to do all we can to get Army football as healthy as we can."
This season has been anything but healthy for Army. The Black Knights will try and avoid their first two-win season since 2004 when they battle Navy on Dec. 8 in Philadelphia.
When asked how he feels about Army's 2-9 record, Corrigan said, "I think it (stinks). There's no other way to feel about it. I love the young people we have and what they are doing. We've proven that we can play. I think it's just the consistency of what it is and who it is and just continuing to grow."
Corrigan still believes coach Rich Ellerson, who is finishing his fourth season at West Point, is the man to lead the program.
"Yes, 100 percent," Corrigan said. "I'm behind him and with him. We've tweaked and we've gone to morning practices and we've tried different things. The one constant at West Point is change. You get a new commandant. ... You get new officers. It's an ever-changing environment. But it's been that way for 210 years. I'm not trying to change the system, but we've got to find our niche."
Does finding its niche include adjusting future schedules to give Army a better chance at winning?
"We are constantly evaluating every aspect of our program," Corrigan said. "Could that be a part of it? Sure, those neutral-site games that we are scheduled to play. What we like is our fans want Army football at Michie Stadium. That's a big part of what it is. I did learn this year that maybe seven games is too many home games, and the stress on the system at West Point that may be too many."

Entries for SA's biggest Half Marathon have broken all records
10 000 entries for the 2013 Old Mutual Two Oceans half marathon, South Africa's biggest half marathon, opened on Thursday 1 November and closed on Monday 5 November 2012.
This year, runners who have previously completed the Two Oceans Half Marathon, Ultra Marathon or Trail Runs had first option to secure one of the initial 10 000 entries. Runners who have not participated in any Two Oceans Marathon races or previous participants who missed the first entry batch will be given a chance to secure one of the second-round entries from 15 January 2013, when 6 000 additional entries are released.
Entries for the Trail Runs will open on 3 December 2012 and trail enthusiasts wanting to secure their spot in this popular event will need to enter as soon as possible, as entries sold out in less than three hours for this year's event. Online entries for both the ultra and the half marathon close on 5 March 2013 or when 16 000 entries for the half marathon and 11 000 for the ultra marathon are reached – whichever comes first.

Denver Arts Week 2012 keeps on giving, sometimes for free. Here are a few picks
Denver Arts Week is like Denver Restaurant Week, but instead of getting deals on dinner, you can get deals on museums, theaters, concerts and artwork itself.
It runs through Nov. 10, and there is lots (and lots) to choose from. You can sort it all out at denver.org.
If that's too much work, and frankly it is a bit of work, here are my personal picks, starting Saturday and running through the end.
1. You probably already know about Saturday Night at the Museums when most of the best museums in the city and beyond open their doors for free from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Nov. 3. But what to see? I suggest "William Joseph, Sculptor & Painter" at the Kirkland. It's a rare look at a Colorado artist who ought to be more famous. It runs through Nov. 11. (kirklandmuseum.org)
2. The Starz Denver Film Festival runs through the end of Arts Week, and my pick is on Saturday, Nov. 10. Director David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook" stars Bradley Cooper as a guy just getting out of a psychiatric facility and remaking his life with the help of Jennifer Lawrence. 8 p.m. at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

Many bloggers and the press have reposted Tarek Mehanna's impassioned speech to the court as he was sentenced to 17-1/2 years for supposedly providing "material support" to terrorists. (See here, here, here, and especially the ACLU's Nancy Murray's widely quoted article at the Boston Globe here.) But few have commented on Mehanna's charges that he was set up by an undercover agent to participate in a terrorist plot, and that he refused the agent's overtures.
These are the relevant portions of Mehanna's statement at his sentencing hearing (bold emphases added):
Exactly four years ago this month I was finishing my work shift at a local hospital. As I was walking to my car I was approached by two federal agents. They said that I had a choice to make: I could do things the easy way, or I could do them the hard way. The "easy" way, as they explained, was that I would become an informant for the government, and if I did so I would never see the inside of a courtroom or a prison cell. As for the hard way, this is it. Here I am, having spent the majority of the four years since then in a solitary cell the size of a small closet, in which I am locked down for 23 hours each day. The FBI and these prosecutors worked very hard — and the government spent millions of tax dollars — to put me in that cell, keep me there, put me on trial, and finally to have me stand here before you today to be sentenced to even more time in a cell….
It was made crystal clear at trial that I never, ever plotted to "kill Americans" at shopping malls or whatever the story was. The government's own witnesses contradicted this claim, and we put expert after expert up on that stand, who spent hours dissecting my every written word, who explained my beliefs. Further, when I was free, the government sent an undercover agent to prod me into one of their little "terror plots," but I refused to participate. Mysteriously, however, the jury never heard this.
The Telegram and Gazette described the uproar in the courtroom when Mehanna brought up the accusations regarding the undercover agent's attempt to recruit him into a terrorist plot.
After Mr. Mehanna said the government had sent an undercover agent to prod him into participating in a terror plot — that he refused — Mr. Chakravarty rose to call that "categorically false." Mr. Mehanna yelled to him that "you're a liar."
Two U.S. marshals strode to Mr. Mehanna seated at the defense table in an orange prison jump suit, put a hand on him and spoke to him, but Judge O'Toole did not allow Mr. Chakravarty to continue.
What actually lie behind these accusations, the prosecutor's interruption, and the Judge's subsequent actions? (O'Toole later chided Mehanna for "lack of remorse" and "a quality of defiance.")
The answer can be found in a February 25 posting by Mehanna at the Facebook page, "Free Tarek Mehanna." While one can easily find online the young man's stirring defense of himself in his April 12 sentencing statement, his statement about the attempt to frame him as part of a government-inspired terrorist "plot," has virtually escaped coverage outside of some small blogs concerned with defending Islamic or Palestinian causes and defense (with the one notable exception of Richard Hugus at Boston IndyMedia).
This is not surprising as the widespread use of government undercover agents to gin up the terror threat in the U.S. is not fit matter for the mainstream press, who report these incidents as if they were gospel descended from the heaven populated by covert intelligence agencies. I think Mehanna's accusations merit further investigation, and the way he describes (see below) the way the matter was kept out of court leaves little doubt that there is much to what he says.
In summary, Mehanna claims he was approached by a stranger in late 2005. This individual on numerous occasions tried to get him to "find American soldiers returning from Iraq (whose addresses he supposedly had) and kill them." Mehanna subsequently cut off contact with this person because he would not let up on trying to seduce Mehanna into some kind of crime.
Mehanna wrote that in early summer 2011, his attorney was contacted by an AP reporter who had heard that "two sources within the NYPD had contacted her and confirmed to her that the NYPD had sent an undercover agent up to Boston to 'befriend' me, and try to prod me into carrying out a 'terrorist attack,' and that I had refused to go along (bingo!)." Mehanna's attorneys filed a "motion asking the judge to compel the government to disclose these details so that they could be mentioned at trial." The motion was denied after Judge O'Toole met with prosecutors in a closed hearing (closed to the defense).
Mehanna notes, "A brief mention of the motion and the hearing was made in an August 2th 2011 article in the Boston Globe, written by Milton Valencia. But the article was published before O'Toole had officially denied the motion. This was the only media attention that this incident received." I was not able to verify there was such an article or coverage, as nothing about this comes up on Internet search or at the Boston Globe search engine.
What follows is Mehanna's complete FB post, with only some bolding of certain text added for editorial emphasis:
My arrest and trial had little to do with "terrorism."
The overwhelming majority of "terrorism" cases in America can fit into a category in which the FBI picks the gullible Muslim youth, sends an undercover agent to "befriend" him, and over a period of time, prod him to agree to carry out some attack. The agreement is recorded on tape. The undercover FBI agent offers the kid weapons, and arrests him as soon as he is about to proceed with the so-called "plot." While the intended impression is that the Feds swooped in to save the day, the reality is that they "foiled" their own plot. An artificial victory, and this is the formula which you see every other day when you read the news, whose purpose is to compensate for the lack of authentic "terror plots."
The government attempted this strategy with me, but failed. This has been one of the most underreported aspects of my case, despite it being in the public record. This is what happened:
In late 2005, I was approached by an individual whom I'd never met. Over the course of two years, he attempted to befriend me, and gradually began shifting otherwise mundane conversations to suggesting the need to "do something." Eventually, this "something" that he was hounding me to "do" emerged as a plan of his to find American soldiers returning from Iraq (whose addresses he supposedly had) and kill them. He would show up at my house uninvited, and always try to steer the conversation in this directions, and I would steer it away and bury it, but he would never give up. Finally, I told this individual to never contact me again.
Two years later, I found myself here in a Plymouth jail awaiting trial on terrorism charges. From day one, I related this to my lawyers, and that I was 100% sure this had been an attempt by the FBI to entrap me in one of their artificial "plots" so that they could have additional firepower in this case. But my lawyers explained that without some acknowledgement from the government, it would be impossible to prove. So we filed numerous motions over the course of the two years before trial requesting exculpatory evidence (i.e., evidence that would be in my favor) from the government regarding this, but they feigned ignorance, and said that they had nothing.
Finally, in the early summer of 2011, my lawyer, Jay Carney, got a call from an Associated Press reporter who said that two sources within the NYPD had contacted her and confirmed to her that the NYPD had sent an undercover agent up to Boston to "befriend" me, and try to prod me into carrying out a "terrorist attack," and that I had refused to go along (bingo!). Furthermore, these sources in the NYPD told this journalist that when the prosecutors in my case found out about this – the same prosecutors at my trial, Aloke Chakravarty and Jeffrey Auerhahn – they became frantic and called the NYPD to come up to Boston for a meeting, where they admonished them for "interfering" in my case. With this information, my lawyers filed an additional motion asking the judge to compel the government to disclose these details so that they could be mentioned at trial – the logic being that this is a "terrorism" trial, and here was an attempt by the government to actually push me to carry out an act of "terrorism," and I had refused, and they were trying to cover this up. The motion was filed on July 15th, 2011.
A hearing took place in court on August 3rd, 2011 to discuss this. A number of other motions were discussed first, then at the end, Jay got up to argue this one. He mentioned to the judge tat [sic] we were seeking exculpatory evidence from the government, as they had thus far given us none. And then he mentioned that from the items we sought were details of an attempt by the NYPD to prod me to engage in a domestic attack, which I refused, etc. This was apparently the first the prosecutors knew that we were privy to this, and the surprise was evident on their faces. The judge asked them if they knew anything about this, and Mr. Chakravarty's response was an ambiguous "we have no information from our office on this, and it is the defendant who should know," to which Jay stood up again, faced Mr. Chakravarty, and asked: "So you're willing to say, on record, before the court, that no members of the NYPD came up to Boston at anytime to meet with you to discuss an attempt to prod Tarek Mehanna to engage in an act of terrorism that he refused to go along with?" The prosecutor's response, verbatim, was: "Well, I didn't say that either…"
O'Toole said he would wait to rule on the motion, and immediately, the prosecutors requested a private meeting with him in the judge's chambers. He granted their request. My lawyers stood outside the judge's door as the prosecutors walked in and protested: "Well, that's not fair. How are you going to meet with the judge privately about this motion, and we have no idea what is being said?" But the judge met with them for almost 20 minutes. We will never know what was said in that meeting, but the next morning, O'Toole denied our motion, and that was the last anyone had ever heard of it: nothing about this topic was allowed to be mentioned to the jury at trial. Not a single word.
A brief mention of the motion and the hearing was made in an August 2th 2011 article in the Boston Globe, written by Milton Valencia. But the article was published before O'Toole had officially denied the motion. This was the only media attention that this incident received.
Conversely, the baseless "shopping mall plot" received the lion's share of media attention, and was freely introduced at trial by the government. The progression of this particular story is interesting, and quite telling as to how dishonest the government is:
-October 21st, 2009: I'm introduced to the world as having plotted to gun down shoppers at a local mall.
-10/21/09 to 10/24/11: The two year period before my trial: not a single additional detail is presented about this.
-My trial: Not only was no evidence presented to support this, but the government's own witnesses admitted that I never participated in any such discussions, and that I in fact spoke against such ideas.
-Closing arguments at trial: The prosecutor backtracks, and says that even if these were not my ideas, that I knew people who had these ideas was enough.
In the end, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. At this point, it should be clear that my trial was about many things, but it was not about "terrorism."
(To be continued…)
– Tariq Mehanna
One can only assume that Mehanna's story of being approached by undercover operatives and informants, of being "recruited" into government-originated terrorists "plots" is so consistent with other such reports that what we have here is an orchestrated government program (or even, as we see with the NYPD accusations above) competing programs meant to frame-up militant Muslims, radicalized, or even just made angry, about U.S. government policy in the Middle East and Afghanistan. The end result is meant to feed the domestic police and intelligence agencies need for "enemies" and "threats," the better to justify their existence. An added justification could be the government's paranoid need to destroy what it sees as a threat — in this case Muslim "extremism" or opposition to US aims in the Muslim world — and it is using COINTELPRO methods to do just that.
I don't doubt that bad or even deranged people exist, people who mean to cause harm to others, or who even have adopted terrorist methods as a means of furthering their cause. This certainly isn't restricted to Muslims (as this Murray article linked above makes clear), nor even to our own time or era. But what is clear is that U.S. government agencies have acted in secrecy and in bad faith, and without any means to hold them to account, we are all Tarek Mehanna, we are all threatened by a government that feels it can any method it wishes to undermine differing points of view.

The "Dime for Time" Campaign Returns to the Captain Lord Mansion and Kennbunkport for 2011! And, We Are Doubling It!
Just by staying with us in 2011 you will be helping find a cure for cancer!
Inn owners, Bev Davis and Rick Litchfield invite you to participate in their second annual Lois Ann Fincher Memorial "Double Dime for Time" Campaign to benefit the American Cancer Society.
For each guest stay from January 1 – October 31, 2011, we'll pledge two dimes to benefit the American Cancer Society for breast cancer awareness and research programs. But, we'll make it even more rewarding! If guests have stayed with us before, we'll multiply the number of their visits by the double dimes! With over 50% of our guests being repeats, the amount to be donated adds up! In 2010 we raised $3,000 for cancer research. We are hoping to double that amount in 2011.
The 2010 campaign was created to honor Bev's sister, Lois Ann Fincher who passed away in 2003 after a long and heroic battle with breast cancer. We know that one of the most meaningful of Lois' wishes was for time, time to see her children graduate from college and then to see them happily married. Thankfully, God granted both those wishes.
The 2011 campaign will again allow us at Captain Lord Mansion to make contributions to the Lois Ann Fincher Memorial "Double Dime for Time" Fund throughout the busy season of 2011. Also, many of our 2010 guests made contributions to honor someone they knew who struggled with or currently is struggling with breast cancer.
The "Double Dime for Time" Campaign will culminate on Sunday and Monday, November 20 and 21, 2011 when selected New England area breast cancer survivors will receive a complimentary two-night stay at the Inn. Those wishing to be considered for or desiring to nominate someone for the complimentary stay at the inn should send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com during the month of September, 2011. We shall only be accepting nominations for women from the six New England states. The email should be no more than 500 words and should give us an idea of why that person should be chosen.
Each woman selected to receive the complimentary two-night stay will receive a bag of goodies and will also be invited to be part of a noon reception where we shall present a check for the monies raised in 2011 to the Maine Chapter of the American Cancer Society.
Also, we will accept any additional contribution for breast cancer research that you might wish to make. Please make checks payable to the Lois Ann Fincher Memorial Cancer Fund.
Your innkeepers, Bev Davis and Rick Litchfield

How Does the 1% Exploit America? Find Out in 1 Minute (VIDEO)
Even in an Occupy world, most Americans don't know exactly how the 1% does what it does. The mainstream media hasn't explained it, and the 1% likes things that way. That's why we've created a new video series unmasking those in the 1% who are exploiting the 99%—name by name, fact by fact. Each short video—one minute apiece—lays out the truth about a different tycoon. These aren't opinions; these are facts, condensed into bite-sized chunks. Occupy has already revealed the country's widespread outrage at the 1%; now it's time for the plutocracy's dirty deeds to be common knowledge. The best part? Brave New Foundation's audience chose the people we're highlighting. We solicited suggestions on nominees, narrowed them down to 30, and let our audience vote on which ones they thought deserved to be exposed. The new videos represent five of the top vote-getters, with more videos on the way for the rest. Here's one: Of course, the 1% would like to keep its activities shrouded in secrecy. Hiding behind complicated phraseology like "collateralized debt obligation" makes it hard for the public to bust you. But you don't have to be a financier to understand how these guys operate. Our first set of videos gives it straight on Rob Walton of Walmart, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Pete Peterson of the Blackstone Group, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, and Rupert Murdoch of News Corp. Little by little, the 99% is chipping away at the 1%'s power. Watch the video series to get the basics on how that power is being wielded.

More than 3,000 of Stockton's older, draftier homes have been sealed up, but the city is nevertheless struggling to meet an ambitious energy-efficiency goal established two years ago.
More than 3,000 of Stockton's older, draftier homes have been sealed up, but the city is nevertheless struggling to meet an ambitious energy-efficiency goal established two years ago.
The Green-Up Stockton ordinance, approved by the City Council, is intended to help the city reduce its carbon footprint as part of a legal settlement with the state Attorney General's Office and the Sierra Club.
The ordinance calls for 8,500 homes - or nearly 10 percent of Stockton's housing stock - to be retrofitted by the end of 2013.
The city was lagging well behind that pace as of last August, at which point 3,059 homes had been fixed up, according to figures shared last week with the city's Climate Action Plan Advisory Committee.
"It looks like we're falling short of the goal," city planning manager David Stagnaro told committee members.
Under the ordinance, if the city misses the mark on the number of retrofits, a new rule would kick in requiring energy assessments to be conducted starting in 2014 whenever homes built earlier than November 2002 are sold.
Real estate agents have warned that those assessments will drive up costs for buyers.
Byron Bogaard, head of the Central Valley Association of Realtors, told committee members Thursday that the process in place is "extremely flawed."
His concern, and others', is that the numbers released to the committee reflect only the retrofits achieved through rebates from Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
Some people may be completing retrofits without those rebates. There should be a way to account for those energy savings and apply them toward the goal, Bogaard said.
Environmentalist Dale Stocking agreed that retrofits outside of PG&E's scope should be considered when evaluating the success of the ordinance.
"I think we're closer to being on target than just what the PG&E numbers show," he said.
No one will know for sure if the city has fallen short of the 8,500-home requirement until the end of this year.
The program got off to a good start, with 1,961 retrofits in 2011, exceeding the goal for that year. The goal in 2012 doubled, but the number of retrofits did not.
That suggests the low-hanging fruit has already been plucked, Stocking said. The people who could easily be persuaded to improve home energy efficiency have done so.
Indeed, the program relies mostly on residents to take the initiative. Realtors promoted the ordinance in 2011 but not so much last year, Bogaard said, because there was no way of quantifying how many homeowners really made improvements.
Developer Carol Ornellas, also a committee member, said she felt the PG&E numbers looked "pretty good," despite falling short of the overall goal. With property values low and stagnant, homeowners have been concerned about taking out equity to pay for energy upgrades, she said.

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has launched Men Regret Lost Fatherhood, a new initiative for men who have taken part in an abortion and are coping with feelings of remorse.
Beginning today, visitors to SilentNoMoreAwareness.org can click on the photo icon for "Men and Abortion" at the top of the page to be taken to the new platform, which offers resources, information and support for men who regret their lost fatherhood.
"Our goal is to reach out to broken and hurting fathers who regret lost fatherhood and are searching for help," said Kevin Burke, LSW, a pastoral associate with Priests for Life and Silent No More, and the co-founder of Rachel's Vineyard Ministries. "Experience has shown that many men hurting from the loss of a child to abortion think they are alone in their suffering. The new platform is a way of increasing our message for men who come to the Silent No More Awareness Campaign that they are not alone, that healing is available and they are an essential part of our overall outreach."
Silent No More co-founders Janet Morana and Georgette Forney decided to launch Men Regret Lost Fatherhood in April to coincide with Abortion Recovery Awareness Month.
"No matter what role men had in an abortion – whether they suggested it, supported it, insisted on it or stood silently by – the feelings they experience afterward can leave them uncertain of where to turn for help," the co-founders said. "Our hope is that Men Regret Lost Fatherhood will be where they come to find validation of their feelings after abortion and resources for recovery."
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign was founded in 2002. Since then, its public gatherings – including the March for Life in Washington D.C. – have included the testimonies of an increasing number of men. With Men Regret Lost Fatherhood organizers hope to call more men like Matt Clinger to share the truth of their abortion loss.
"I lost the chance to be a father twice because I was not man enough to stand up for my children in the womb," said Matt, who serves as a spokesman for the Campaign. "I medicated the shame I felt from the abortion with alcohol, pornography and a trail of dishonesty. But today, with the thought of my two children rooting me on, I am hoping to reach out to other men who are still suffering in silence."
The new platform is an outgrowth of the Fatherhood Forever Foundation, which was founded in 2005 by Jason Baier, a post-abortive father who recognized that men like him had few places to turn for help.
"Our hope is that the international scope of Silent No More will help us reach all the men who regret their lost fatherhood with a message of hope and healing," Burke said. "Pro-choicers tell us that abortion is a woman's choice, but two people created that life, and both of them, along with their unborn children, suffer the consequences of that choice."
Since the launch of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 5,612 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 1,195 gatherings in 48 states and 10 countries. More than 12,865 people representing 77 countries are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals. The Campaign has over 1,718 testimonies posted here, with over 214 that are shared via video!
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website: www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org

Nashua alderman asks mayor to explain staff's dutiesBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
June 13. 2013 10:06PM
NASHUA — Before the budget panel adopted its recommended city budget for 2014 on Wednesday, the mayor was asked to explain various staff positions within her own office.
Alderman-at-Large David Deane said he was not implying the mayor's staff was unnecessary but rather wanted a detailed description of their numerous job duties.
"I just want an understanding of what goes on in there, that is all," Deane said during the Budget Review Committee meeting.
Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said each of the full- and part-time employees who work in the mayor's office have a vital role to play.
"There isn't anybody in my office that doesn't have something to do, Alderman Deane. I think you know that," Lozeau said in response to the questions. "I do not have anybody with time to burn."
Lozeau's staff includes an executive secretary, citizen services director, secretary receptionist, resource coordinator and a job-share communication director position.
Including her own salary, which is recommended at $110,000 for the next fiscal year, the combined salary wages for her staff will be nearly $304,000 if approved as recommended in the proposed budget.
Lozeau's executive secretary, who basically serves as an administrative assistant, earns $45,600 a year. This individual manages the mayor's internal calendar, sets up appointments for her at City Hall, returns phone calls and handles legislative information for meetings, among other duties, said Lozeau.
The communication director manages proclamations, resolutions, letters, press calls, interviews with volunteers, correspondence to boards and outside events attended by the mayor.
"I think, to date, I've had over 300 events that I've attended off site," Lozeau said, adding that all of the scheduling is handled by the communication director.
The single communication director role is actually filled by two individuals who each work part time. "It has worked out beautifully," Lozeau said.
The mayor's secretary receptionist, who recently took a different position in the lower level of City Hall, was making about $28,400 a year. That person is responsible for answering incoming calls, handling the mayor's office email, managing files and other duties, said Lozeau.
After listening to descriptions of the various staff members in the mayor's office, the committee on Wednesday made its final recommendation on the proposed budget.

ZURICH (AP) ? FIFA has ordered Canada forward Olivier Occean to serve a six-match ban after he was ejected and then insulted the referee during a World Cup qualifier against Cuba.
Occean was sent off after a scuffle during Canada's 3-0 victory in Toronto on Oct. 12. FIFA says Occean committed an "act of unsporting conduct'' then used "offensive language'' toward the officials.
FIFA's disciplinary panel also fined the 31-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt player $9,250. He also must pay the costs of the proceedings.
Occean served the first of his six-match sanction when Canada lost 8-1 to Honduras and was eliminated from the 2014 World Cup. Occean must serve his ban at competitive matches, starting with the Gold Cup tournament in July.

Coca-Cola celebrated their 125 year anniversary in style this week with the world's largest single building illumination to send a "Thank You" message to all their fans and supporters. This spectacular projection mapping display covered the whole of the Coca-Cola headquarters tower in Atlanta, which stands at 26 stories high. The display uses 45 projectors and covers a total of 200,000 square feet of projection surface. This giant visual event was created and designed by Obscura Digital.
The 2 hour show features the iconic Coca-Cola contour bottle projected in 3D along with imagery from a library of 125 years of Coca-Cola advertising. If you thought that was impressive the display also features real-time technology to integrate live social-media components displaying photos posted by Facebook fans from across the world.
Coca-Cola even went to the effort of making sure that the carbon emissions from this event will be offset in support of Georgia's Valley Wood Carbon Sequestration Project.
This is a pretty amazing projection mapping event and it really raises the bar in terms of the kind of projection mapping that we are increasingly seeing. Great work Obscura Digital, I can't wait to see what you'll be doing next. What do you all think of this one?

Katie McQuaid's Scene in Manchester: Dinner offers delicious way to honor local farmers
KATIE McQUAID
This Sunday, I will be enjoying a five-course meal made almost entirely of ingredients grown within a 50-mile radius of Manchester. Trust me, I am not cooking it. Even if I could find all the ingredients, I would certainly ruin it before it ever hit my lips. This meal will be thanks to a vision by Nashua resident and locavore expert
Keith Sarasin
, who is bringing one of his Farmers Dinners to the Queen City's
XO Restaurant
Sarasin founded the
Farmers Dinner
series in 2012 at
Saffron Bistro
in Nashua. Since then he has produced 11 of these farm-to-table dinner experiences at various restaurants around the state.
Sarasin said during his five years as a professional chef, he noticed a big disconnect between restaurants and local farmers. For example, local restaurants were buying apples grown in other parts of the country, rather than from the orchards we have in our own backyard. So, he started The Farmers Dinner to shine a light on all the amazing local food we have available to us.
"It's really just a night to honor the local farmer," Sarasin said.
Several farmers providing Sunday's ingredients will be there so diners can meet the people who grow their food. Representatives from the
Manchester Food Co-op
will also be on hand to educate guests about their efforts to make local food more accessible.
Producing Farmers Dinners is now Sarasin's full-time job. He lines up the restaurants to host the dinners and do the cooking and finds farmers to provide the main ingredients. He will give a little guidance on the menu, but the restaurateurs really get to decide what to create. Sunday's feast includes a main course of slow-braised boneless beef short ribs. There is also a vegetarian option, as well as options for those who request gluten-free.
This dinner will have an extra twist, with seasonal cocktails made of local spirits paired with each course. Jared Bracci — award-winning mixologist — will create the cocktails using gin and white whiskey from the Nashua distillery Djinn Spirits.
The only part about Sunday's dinner that makes me a little apprehensive is eating with strangers. Sarasin said all Farmers Dinners are served family-style at long banquet tables.
"We create a sense of community where you're breaking bread with people you don't know," he said, explaining that since everyone there has a passion for local food, natural conversations spring up, and some even lead to business and romantic relationships.
The price, at $65 just for the meals, is also a little scary. But it is for five courses. And let's face it, if we are serious about changing the way we eat, there's going to be an added cost.
At press time, there were only seven tickets left for Sunday's dinner. But don't worry. More dinners are planned, including one in September on a banquet table for 200 people in the middle of Nashua's Main Street.
You can find out more by signing up for Sarasin's newsletter at www.thefarmersdinner.com.
Mini-putting for Cam
Often, people do not know much about a disease until it affects them or one of their family members. That was the case for
Rich Hebert
and his family, who suddenly had to learn all about cystic fibrosis when Hebert's grandson,
Cameron Soucy
, was diagnosed with the life-threatening genetic disease just a few weeks after birth.
Cameron is now 3, and this Saturday Hebert is hosting the inaugural
Mini-Putting for Cam
tournament at
Legends Golf
in Hooksett. The tournament will raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and bring more awareness to the disease and the many advancements that have been made in treating it.
"It's a fun way to get together with people and raise money that will not only help our grandson Cam, but others like him," Hebert wrote in an email to The Scene.
All are welcome to participate in the tournament, which starts at 11 a.m. and costs $10 per person. There will be food donated by
Goldenrod Restaurant
Sal's Pizza
, music, and raffle items.
Merchants Motors
is the main sponsor. Anyone interested in sponsoring a hole or donating more raffle items can email Hebert at email@example.com.
Yard sale moving
For those of you who look forward to the
Amoskeag Communty Volunteers' annual charity yard sale
, you will not find us in our traditional east side Manchester location this year.
Longtime gracious host of this extra-large sale
Glenda Hand
has passed the torch, and this year's sale will be held at
9 Rockforest Drive in Hooksett
, a beautiful cul-de-sac perfect for all the great deals we will be offering from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday.
Amoskeag Community Volunteers is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. As far as nonprofits go, we are very small, but we really enjoy the fellowship of the club and providing the little help that we can. Money raised goes to various programs we support, including
Easter Seals Seniors Count
Roca Kidz Club
, as well as individuals and families who just need a helping hand during a rough time in their life.
We would love your help through a donation to or purchase from our yard sale on Saturday. And if you have any used items in good condition you would like to donate to our sale, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Just when I thought I had seen every fundraiser known to man, I find out about
Float the Boat
. This Saturday at 2 p.m., a 6-foot cardboard boat will be launched out into
Dorrs Pond
while onlookers wait for it to sink. With supporters pledging money for every minute it stays afloat, the longer the better.
Hooksett resident
Jen Kippin
is the brainchild behind this creative fundraiser. It started in 2012 with a cardboard boat she had made as part of her volunteer work with children's ministries at
New Beginnings Assembly of God Church
on Conant Street in Manchester.
"I didn't want to get rid of it because it was such an awesome boat," she said.
So, she decided to turn it into the Float the Boat (www.floattheboat4m.org) and raise money for
Special Touch Ministries
, which supports the needs of people with disabilities and runs the
North East Special Touch Summer Getaway
for the people they serve. Kippin said the money raised will go toward scholarships for the camp.
For more events that float your boat, visit www.NH365.org.
If you have an interesting item for Scene in Manchester, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEFL has state's best record
Manager Dave McGuirl had a feeling it wouldn't take long for his New England Frozen Lemonade/Shields Post 43 American Legion team to come together and hit its stride.
And it has taken no time at all.
NEFL rolled past Shoreline 10-1 on Tuesday at Lischio Field to run its league-best record to 10-1. It's been a busy stretch – NEFL has played more games than any team in the state, all in a two-week span – but the club has navigated it almost perfectly.
"These aren't kids who don't know each other and need to jell," McGuirl said. "They pretty much know each other and they really like each other. They were all looking forward to the summer. I've never had a team like each other this much."
NEFL's first 11 games have provided some strong evidence of a correlation between that kind of chemistry and team success. NEFL has out-scored its opponents 63-27. Its only loss came by a single run to defending state champion Gershkoff Auto Body/Auburn Post 20 of Cranston.
NEFL is hitting .303 as a team, and its team ERA is 1.47.
"We're getting great starting pitching," McGuirl said. "Every pitcher is going five, six, seven innings. You get good starting pitching, everything else kind of follows. We're playing good defense, we're getting some good hitting. We're playing well."
NEFL kept the good times rolling against Shoreline.
Lefty Ryan Morris made his third start of the summer and had his best showing yet. He allowed just an unearned run while scattering seven hits and striking out four in six innings of work.
Morris lowered his ERA to 1.17, and he now leads the team with 20 strikeouts in 18 innings.
"Ryan's maturing," McGuirl's said. "He's still a puppy. He's a young kid. He's done really well for us."
The NEFL offense gave Morris an early lead to work with. T.J. Boyajian tripled to lead off the game and trotted home on an RBI groundout by Nick McGuirl.
NEFL went quietly over the next three innings but took advantage of some chances in the fifth against Shoreline reliever Alex Marzilli.
Lee Verrier reached on an error to start the frame and moved to third on a pair of wild pitches. Boyajian walked and then broke for second on a 3-2 pitch to Nick McGuirl. The pitch was a ball, which meant McGuirl walked, but Shoreline catcher Tyler Rains threw to second anyway, and the ball got away. That allowed Verrier to score for the 2-0 lead.
With runners now on first and second, Zach Blanchard roped a base hit down the left-field line to score Boyajian. Branden Hoxsie followed with a bunt back to the mound. Marzilli looked to third to try for the lead runner, but his throw pulled Matt Ricard off the base. That loaded the bases for Ted Dwyer, who hit a single through the left side to score McGuirl for the 4-0 lead.
"We took advantage," Dave McGuirl said.
Morris gave up his only run in the bottom of the fifth when Adam Nabb singled, stole second and scored on an infield hit and an ensuing error. But Morris avoided further trouble with a strikeout.
After Boyajian doubled and scored on a base hit from Blanchard in the top of the sixth, Morris gave up a leadoff single in the bottom half but picked the runner off then got two more outs to keep it a 5-1 game.
A parade of walks and hit batsmen then broke the game open in the seventh. Shoreline reliever Jake Mansfield hit four batters in the frame and walked two more. Blanchard added an RBI single and Hoxsie had an RBI groundout as NEFL put five more runs on the board.
Colin Douglas relieved Morris in the seventh and got out of a minor jam to finish off the victory.
"That's a good team," McGuirl said. "They've got some good players over there. It was a much closer game than the final score."
Blanchard had a big day at the plate, going 4-for-5 with three RBI. He's now hitting .412. Boyajian had two hits to raise his team-best batting average to .484. He also scored four runs.
NEFL was scheduled to return to action Wednesday against North Providence Post 29, with results unavailable at press time. The team will then take on Providence Post 56 today at 5:30 p.m. at Hope High School before traveling to Keene, N.H. this weekend for a tournament.
NEFL is just hoping for more of the same.
"Keep doing what we're doing," McGuirl said. "These kids just come and play. It starts with Teddy Dwyer and Zach Blanchard. Teddy's more of the vocal leader. He gets everybody fired up. Zach comes in quiet and leads by example and does a great job. Everybody kind of follows them."
