Chinese restaurants – the good ones, at least – are by and large not populist institutions. They present ordinary, Americanized menus to the clientele at large, and secret the interesting stuff away on a special "Chinese" menu. They may have verbal specials only available to special guests, or items served only at banquets. Some larger ones serve different menus on different floors of the building, so in order to eat well you must know where to sit. Chinese restaurant cuisine is by nature elitist.
This may be why the chef Peter Cheng has emerged as such a populist hero. He wears his heart – which burns with the heat of a thousand hot chiles – on his sleeve. His specialties are there, front and center, for everyone who wants to revel in them. Adventurous American diners respond with cheers, and they see stars in a Peter Cheng menu. Chinese customers, however, aren't exactly beating down the door. But there is no chef from the Middle Kingdom like him.
Cheng (he prefers this spelling to the usual "Chang") has a story that has been well and oft told. The one-time chef at Marietta's Tasty China first became famous in the Virginia suburbs of Washington. He has traveled up and down the East Coast and into the pages of The New Yorker like a culinary pied piper, leading a trail of devoted spiceheads who followed his every peregrination, chopsticks waving in the air. He has broken and then cheered the hearts of these people who find him, lose him, and then find him again in, say, Knoxville or Charlottesville, Va.
Now he seems to have settled into a Sandy Springs restaurant with his name on the door. Peter Cheng Cuisine. It seems like he's staying put. The former Olive's Waterside looks a little like the Brady Bunch house, with its stack stone, earth-colored tile foyer and open-slat staircase. It has a cozy bar that is sometimes stocked with beer, a pond outside the plate windows and a small army of Chinese and American servers who understand the cooking in varying degrees.
It is not yet a very good restaurant, though it is sometimes a brilliant one. Cheng and company are trying something new here: cooking more expensive food (entrees climb into the $20s) at a higher volume in a decorous setting. The trappings, which little mattered at Tasty China, need to be more on point. If you go to this restaurant, you will revel in some of the dishes – particularly if you have a high tolerance for spice – wonder what the fuss is about with some of the other ones, and with any luck have a good service experience.
We certainly did on our first visit, arriving with a bottle of wine in tow (corkage is $10). The menu is, per Cheng tradition, so huge and filled with mystery that you just want to throw a dart or three and see what arrives. Cheng's wife, Hong Ying Zhang, prepares the appetizers, which are often exceptional. Fried "bubble pancakes" ($3) puff into puri-like balls and come with a curry dip. Cold smoked chicken slivers and cucumber spears ($9) share a creamy, spicy mustard sauce that will have you surreptitiously cleaning the plate with your index finger. Crispy pork belly, breaded and fried ($8), tingle with spice, make a satisfying keeee-runch, and then fill your mouth with sticky, flavorful meat. Cold shredded tofu skin (the resilient membrane that forms on top of the bean curd, $8) comes bathed in a hot chile oil and has the power to captivate everyone who tries it.
Cheng is best known for his abundant use of hot chiles and Sichuan peppercorns that in concert make your tongue feel like it has been eating pure electrical current. But the fact is he has a moody side to his cooking, as well, that shouldn't be overlooked. Shenxian duck soup ($11 for up to four people, $20 for up to eight) arrives in a rustic clay terrine and sports duck slices, springy little pork meatballs and clear noodles in a softly haunting broth you won't soon forget. Another fine clay-pot soup (also $11 and $20) features tender, bony cubes of beef spare rib and sundry slips of mushroom in a cloudy broth.
Now let the fireworks begin! Cheng's famous braised fish in chile oil ($16) brings many firm white slips of swai (a Vietnamese fish, sometimes called iridescent shark) and Chinese cabbage literally dripping with orange oil and handfuls of peppercorn. I fished around the bowl looking in vain for the soft tofu that used to join the party at Tasty China, but couldn't find any.
Bamboo fish ($16) is more how I remember the Tasty China classic, with its spicy strips of fried swai peeking out from beneath a lattice bamboo decoration. It is very salty and very hard to stop eating.
I am less enamored of the much-touted "Peter lamb" ($22) – a platter heaped with spice-rubbed lamb chops, each bone wrapped in aluminum foil for easy lifting. I find the meat has a sour edge and the troweled-on spices taste strongly of cumin. Not that nice freshly roasted cumin flavor, but rather acrid powdered cumin.
Nor do I care much for the steamed shrimp ($20), butterflied in their shells and lavished with a fine dice of sweet-and-sour red pepper, as the shrimp themselves are mealy. At these prices, I expect top-notch ingredients.
And slicker service. On my second visit, it's pretty well a disaster. When waiters do come to the table, they look completely freaked out by the crush of business, and the food arrives at a painstaking, helter-skelter pace. We get some food but have no plates. It takes more than a few minutes to flag someone down, wait and finally get warm, wet, dirty plates. This restaurant needs a couple of months to work out its front-of-the-house issues.
But then there's the food. We order the "Peter duck" ($20) – a superheated earthenware vessel containing a bubbling mixture of sliced bone-in duck, whole spices and huge fluffs of green onions and cilantro. I can taste cinnamon, I think, and star anise, and so many chil es tempered against the freshness of the greenery, and the meaty savoriness of that juicy duck. Amazing.
Peter Cheng is a brilliant cook. If you can wait for his restaurant to iron itself out, give it a month.

My brother works in Shanghai these days, a financial consultant. This last Christmas, in a modest Tex-Mex establishment in Louisiana, he ends up surprised that his waitress replaces his sides when they don't come out the way he wanted them. His comment: "You don't get service like that in China."
The question in my mind since has been, if you have a largely Chinese restaurant in America, largely staffed by immigrants, is it reasonable to expect them from the "get go" to have American style service? I'm offering this as a question to ponder, as opposed to a critique.

"It is not yet a very good restaurant…" duh, that's an understatement.
the entire place doesn't feel like a chinese restaurant, it's too american, as with the service staff. they don't know the menu at all and doesn't understand that patrons need utensils to eat. and chopsticks is request only. unreal.
food is ok, was better when everything was under one roof at tasty china. splitting it in two only gives you two half-arsed restaurants. but this doesn't make a difference to the people here since their palate and taste is based solely on hearsay. it will need more than a month to work out all the inexperiences, try 3-4 months because the staff is oblivious. at these prices, you want perfection in the food from a self proclaimed perfectionist. right now its just red propaganda. anyone who thinks this is amazing Sichuan food at this time is only fooling themselves.
2 stars is more than generous at this point.

I loved the food and agree about the service – certainly not spot on at the moment. I was there with a Taste Network wine dinner, so I had the opportunity to experience many items both on & off the menu, many of which I would never have thought to order, but fell in love with at first bite. The tofu skin in chili oil is a perfect example. I'm not a tofu fan, but this is an amazing dish. I didn't even realize they were tofu "noodles" until someone enlightened me. I'm glad to see the crispy pork belly on the menu as an app. My husband & I ordered it once at Tasty China and ended up with a cornucopia of fried bacon (literally in a cone-shaped wicker basket). It was a HUGE portion and, while I enjoy pork belly, this was enough to feed at least 12 people. I would certainly order it as a starter. I'm sorry to hear the "Peter lamb" was disappointing. We dined on an off-menu item, Shan City Lamb, which was amazing. I'm also not generally a lamb fan, but this was off the charts good – my favorite dish that evening. Perfectly seasoned lamb ribs got better with every bite. We probably sampled 20 items, but my favorites were: the tofu skin in chili oil; cold, thinly-sliced beef starter; Shan City lamb; soup dumplings; and some sizzling broth dish with fish, chicken and beef. The steaming sticky buns filled with bean paste were the perfect ending to the meal. I can't wait to go back and explore even more of the menu.

I went the weekend it opened in Dec. Was very excited because of what I've heard of him, of Tasty China, etc. The food was good, though all of what we happened to order had the same texture: spicy, salty and crunchy. After a while it was hard to remember what was pork, or duck, or beef. At least the bok choy and mushrooms was allowed to let their own flavors shine.
The service wasn't great and I'm surprised that it still isn't. Wouldn't something as basic as staff training have been done *before* opening? It's been a few months, why is it still so bad?
They need to hire a business manager who can take care of these business issues. Because good food alone is not enough for a restaurant to succeed.

Solid review. You've hit a lot of the great dishes that makes this place great. I would also throw the hot and numbing beef appetizer in the mix. Its served hot (temp) and has a bit of sweetness to it, which is different from the Tasty China dish that shares the same name.
The one other thing that I'd like to comment on is the following statement: "This restaurant needs a couple of months to work out its front-of-the-house issues."
In my opinion, the service here is not going to improve. I've been to PC's several times and to Tasty China more times than I can count, and both restaurants have had issues with service from the first trip I made.Tasty, which has been in business for a while, still has the same issues with front of house.
The big issue here is a language barrier. The majority of employees have a hard time speaking/understanding english and this is the root cause of a lot of the problems. So many times, we've ordered, even pointing at specific items on the menu, only to receive something completely different. While Chang's does employ more english speaking people than Tasty China did, I think there is still a language barrier that exists in the kitchen. The other big issue is the manager. The guy is one of the biggest aholes i've seen in a restaurant. He used to be at Tasty China, but now spends his time at Peter Changs. The only thing he does is stomps around and yells at everyone. On our last visit, we were seated at a table next to the kitchen and heard nonstop yelling from this guy throughout our meal. He's also known to argue with and yell at customers when they complain about not getting the dish that they ordered.
If they want to try and fix this issue, I really think they should consider numbering the menu (yes, I know there are numbers next to each item, but every section of the menu resets the numbers so there are like six #1's on the menu). I think that would be a huge help in getting past the language barrier issue.

Welcome back John! Your words are wasted on cake . We had a much better experience, but we went for a late lunch on Saturday. Beers showed up quickly, the food poured out of the kitchen. We had a tough time getting bowls instead of plates, but I think that was genuine confusion. The staff couldn't imagine why we wanted bowls.
As for the food, well, it was brilliant. I loved the lamb, but then again I love cumin. I had no idea it was such a divisive spice until I started reading reviews of this place, in which everyone posits an opinion on the lamb. The pork belly frito was fascinating, but I preferred the shredded pork belly entree. My favorite was the smoked spicy duck, crispy as duck should be, the smokiness of the meat and the chilies making out together. Brilliant.
I think the best course for now is not to avoid the restaurant, but avoid the peak hours. The food is worth it.

Of the hundreds of bits that have been written about Peter "Cheng," you are apparently the first writer to have asked him about the preferred spelling of his name, since it appears as "Chang" in everything else I've read.
But he pronounces it the way we would pronounce "chang" in English?
February 11th, 2011
11:02 am
He prefers "Cheng" so much he put Chang on the Door, the Menu and the Website. Moron.
February 11th, 2011
11:46 am
Actually, Cheng was on the menu (hence my confusion).
The bamboo fish was a real find. Fantastic surprise to pillowy fish. Dan dan noodles, always great. Peter Rolls are another new find (I make sure to try something new every time). Really, the food I can't complain about, but the service…aye. I don't get it.
I've been mischarged 25% of the time. The language barrier between the staff is amazing. I sit at the bar, waiting for take-out, watching waiters translate what is on their slips, and looking up the prices on a menu, and then using a calculator to tally it up. Everyone, double-check your bills.
BTW, I hate the descriptions of the food. Luckily, I love the food, and I go all the time, so I'm willing to try things out…but what the heck is "Fragrant" or "Golden" or "Hongpao" supposed to taste like? Luckily the bamboo fish doesn't remotely taste like bamboo.
On the bright side, they are doing great business…
And yes, the Christmas lights are still up.
Still should be a 3-star, as it "merits a drive if you're into this kind of dining."

1) If you certain the restaurant will right itself soon, why not wait a month for a proper review (unless you're planning on re-reviewing it in the next few months)?
2) I still don't understand why the new rating system can't assign a number of stars instead of making it seem like this restaurant got two out of five stars, which can't help but to look like a failing grade. Get rid of the greyed-out stars the restaurant didn't receive and you'll have a more respectable rating system.

This review is ridiculous. This is absolutely the best CHinese restaurant in town. I have spent 3 months of my life in China, and try every new restaurant in Atlanta. I give this critic 1 star because the grade should be on the food and not so much on service from mostly new employees. Unlike in this add, I received food promptly and couldn't stop eating. It was the best meal I have had in a few years. Also the review by Steve is a load of garbage. I have been eating regularly at Tasty CHina for years and never seen the owner (not manager) yelling. And I have never seen him argue with a customer. I did see his ex girlfriend that used to work there have attitudes though.
February 11th, 2011

Good review. I'm glad you liked the smoked chicken with mustard sauce and I second Steve's recommendation of the hot & numbing beef (but the chicken was my favorite dish). Too bad I live out of town and won't be going back– Atlanta is lucky to have such great Sichuan food.
I guess I should change the spelling in my post to Cheng now… http://lawandfood.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-hands-of-elusive-sichuan-master.html

Atlanta needs a real food critic. Kessler being so academic in his "reviews" is getting tiring.
We should all just go to the random hole-in-the-wall that will go out of business within 6 months because those are the restaurants that get 5 stars in atlanta. Also, I love driving to Kennesaw for the new "dive".

@ Jason. What is your definition of a"real" food critic? I don't think there are any scientific applications that can be applied to eating food. You either like it or you don't. A food critic has a responsibility to tell people what he thinks. Where is the academia in these reviews? I haven't heard John tell anyone that he knows and you don't. I enjoy what other people think and adjust my eating experiences according to what I find when I go. My tongue and mouth are the final arbitrator of what I put in them.
February 12th, 2011

Here's the deal (and it won't make me very popular). Peter Chang (Cheng, Zhang, etc.) is NOT the best Chinese chef in Atlanta. He is a very good chef (at times), but that is true at quite a few places here. There are quite a few excellent Chinese chefs (and cooks) working in relative obscurity in Atlanta.
The problem with most really good Chinese restaurants here is they can be inconsistent – and Chang is no different – he's just managed to parlay his name & style into a cult following. What I've found to be most consistent about Chang's food is his use of chili and Sichuan peppercorns. Beyond that, his execution at both his own restaurant and at Tasty China has been hit or miss. Is it worth a visit? Absolutely. Is it worth spending 2, 3 or 4 times as much for your dinner there that at other Chinese restaurants in town? Not so sure.
February 12th, 2011

@bobb… please reread, I never mention the owner. The manager is the one i'm referring to.

You can't blame him for execution at Tasty China when he wasn't there.

@Josh – If you dig Sichuan food, check out Gu's Bistro. It was written up in CL a couple of weeks ago, and is worth the visit. It doesn't reach the heights of Peter Che(a)ngs, but it is well above average and approachable. I had Cumin lamb and the Chengdu noodles. Both a bit oily, but very tasty. I would echo the review of it… the noodles are quite simple, but I can't forget them. Chef Liu=dumpling goodness.
Then there is Chico and Changs….nothing like Mexicali Mooshu….
February 13th, 2011

This is a tricky question. I liken it to: "What would The French Laundry be rated if the service got kind of random, and then they switched to an a la carte menu, keeping the same items that they currently serve but also adding mozzarella sticks and a bloomin' onion?"
My point is that you can get extraordinary food at Peter Cheng's if you order correctly. And I do mean "extraordinary." As in, not ordinary. As in, unique, interesting and exciting on a national scale. And as in truly excellent and deserving way more than 2 stars. But you can also get the Chinese equivalent of mozzarella sticks and bloomin' onions.
I don't blame Chef Cheng (Chang) (Zhang) for the wide-ranging and unfocused menu. I believe that this is necessary, in Atlanta, if you want to operate a successful Chinese restaurant. Therefore, in my own mental review I don't penalize him for it. And from my perspective, since I have figured this "ordering" thing out, at the moment there is not another Chinese restaurant in the Southeast at which I would rather dine.
February 13th, 2011
8:37 am
Josh – my blog is in John's blog roll (I'd rather JK mention it that shill it myself).
Ron C. – You "don't blame the chef for the wide-ranging and unfocused menu"? Who do you blame? Typically, the chef is responsible for everything from planning the menu down to the quality of service – especially if their name (or some version of their name) is on the door. There are plenty of "focused" Chinese restaurants in Atlanta that do just fine (however they don't have the high prices and level of publicity that Ch – whatever his name is – gets).
My concern is that Sichuan is becoming the ethnic version of the overblown burger concept here in Atlanta… Did you notice in the photo that Chef – let's just call him Peter – that his toque is mashed in on the sides? Remind anyone else of a faux-hawk?

I'll pass on the hype. With all the raving about Tasty China, I braved the traffic and drove for 30 minutes just to try this amazing place. I was sorely disappointed. I've had better food at the food court in H Mart. And what's with the attitude of "you must order correctly"? Excuse me? I'm paying to be served, I shouldn't have to run a gauntlet just to find good food on the menu.
My partner is native Chinese, I have many native Chinese friends, and I've been to China and experienced the cuisine from my partner's mom's kitchen to streetside shops to grand restaurants there. There ARE good Chinese restaurants in metro Atlanta, they just don't receive the inordinate amount of hype that many of these places, like Tasty China and whatever Mr. Cheng is operating this moment, undeservedly obtain.
February 13th, 2011
8:44 pm
I agree with John's review. I grew up and just came back from Hong Kong; went to both Michelin 3 stars Chinese restaurants there. Peter's restaurant is so-so at best, can't really say it's authentic. Maybe the cooking technique (the cooks behind the wok know how to shake that thing well), but certainly not the recipes. Although I never thought there is any true authentic Chinese food in Atlanta (including Buford Hwy and around Jimmy Carter/Duluth). But if Peter's restaurant is getting all these attention and therefore drawing the crowds; then I wish some other Chinese places up and down Buford Hwy and Duluth should get more customers. They are all hard working people preparing food that in my opinion falls in the same level as Peter's, and I promise their front of the house service is much much better than Peter's restaurant.
February 14th, 2011
6:59 am
It's funny to here someone who's exposure to Chinese food is from Hong Kong rating Sichuan food that has no similarity to the bland dishes served in Hong Kong. If you ordered typical American/Chinese menu items, instead of what they specialize in, you are not in a position to rate the cuisine. I would imagine you do like Panda Express. And for SC, I have dined at the places on Buford, and some are decent for Dim Sum, but not for true Sichuan food. Funny SC, I have been to Beijing several times, mainland China, where the cuisinewas not influenced by more than 100 years of British influence. Most people from the mainland would not call the food from Hong Kong, Chinese
February 14th, 2011
10:12 am
@bobb: I imagine you could be even more condescending and pompous, but perhaps you've already hit your peak, which is sad, really. Many of us are quite qualified to "rate the cuisine" as we see fit. Just because we don't agree with you does not invalidate our opinions. Please, do enjoy your food somewhere besides where I like to dine as I would appreciate not having to push aside your ego in order to enter the restaurant.

What's the deal bobb? Are you saying that a "regional" cuisine is invalid or "not authentic" if it's prepared or eaten outside of that region (and BTW, Beijing is not in Sichuan province). If so, that means the Sichuan meal I ate in Hong Kong, prepared by people from Sichuan, with Sichuan ingredients was nothing like a meal of those same recipes prepared in Chengdu (which is in Sichuan, BTW)?
"Most people from the mainland would not call the food from Hong Kong, Chinese" (sic – you need a period and not the comma). You'd have us believe that everyone in China is a gourmand and looks down their nose at anyone that doesn't "get" their food. I got news for you – most of the people in China are no different that the grunts in the rest of the world. They work, they go home and they eat. Convenience means as much to them as to anyone else – they're not elitist about how they eat.
Sounds like you've been watching too many Olive Garden commercials – everyone in Italy knows more about food than you do (which I guess would explain the growth of McDonalds, Burger King and Spizzico there).
Your food posturing/chest-thumping sounds more in keeping with a football fanatic than someone who actually likes food.
February 15th, 2011
10:31 pm
wow bobb. i wonder what's your dining credential? i'm chinese; been eating chinese food my whole life and i think i know a bit about it, whether it's Shanghai, cantonese, or Sichuan. The good and the bad. but hey the only reason i posted the comment is because i wish Atlantan will patronize more chinese restaurants around Buford Hwy and Duluth/Pleasant Hill instead of just crowding a place that has a star chinese chef. Peter's cooking is not bad, but u can get similar stuff somewhere else. and peter's restaurant's front of house set up and service?…just ask Ms. Lauterbach. She is right.

On a Disney cruise through the Mediterranean, it's smooth sailing all the way
We took a cruise with 912 children, 911 of whom were not ours. For people who don't like other people's kids in quantities usually encountered at theme parks, or who believe that cruise ships are floating tubs of gluttony and indolence, this must all sound like a nightmare.

Faust/Marsalis: The art of learning
Anxiety abounds concerning the demands of our rapidly changing and ever more complicated world and about the ability of our educational system to respond. Yet the education we are fashioning for our children and their children seems ill-suited for the lives they will lead. We hear widespread calls for "outcomes" we can measure and for education geared to specific employment needs, but many of today's students will hold jobs that have not yet been invented, deploying skills not yet defined. We not only need to equip them with the ability to answer the questions relevant to the world we now inhabit; we must also enable them to ask the right questions to shape the world to come.

Officers arrest murder suspect at border
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers took into custody a man wanted in Miami for attempted murder, armed assault and burglary after he was turned over to them by officers of the Canada Border Services Agency at the Pacific Highway port of entry on June 2. CBP officers arrested Ediel Duarte-Rabelo, 24, a citizen of Cuba, when a name check revealed that he was the subject of a National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) felony warrant. Initially his true identity was uncertain due to the fact that he was not in possession of a passport or other proper border crossing identification.
After the outstanding warrant for arrest was verified with Miami Dade Police officials and Duarte-Rabel's identity was confirmed, he was transported to the Whatcom County Jail by a trooper of the Washington State Patrol to await extradition back to Miami.

Sinus Symptoms
What is happening in my head?
The sinuses are sets of air-filled spaces around the eyes and nose that help warm, clean, and moisten the air you breathe in. When you "catch a cold,' the lining of the nose and sinuses becomes inflamed, producing more nasal discharge. If the sinus drainage holes become swollen, and mucus is thick and unable to move out, mucus can build up in the sinuses. This can result in a feeling of pressure in the face, difficulty breathing through the nose, or a headache in the face or forehead. Some people may also feel tired and feverish and may notice mucus draining down the back of the throat – sometimes making the throat sore. The mucus can get discolored but it doesn't mean bacterial infection.
I need to get better fast! What can I do?
Unfortunately, most colds and sinus infections take about seven to 10 days to go away. Because they are caused by viruses, antibiotics don't help them get better any faster; antibiotics only work against bacteria, which don't cause colds. However, if you have plugged sinuses for more than a week and you feel as if you're getting worse, it may be because mucus trapped in the sinus space for that long can grow bacteria. At that point, antibiotics may be helpful. Whether or not you take antibiotics, it is important to keep mucus moving out of the sinuses in order to feel better and speed up recovery.
What does work to "keep things moving" and help me feel better?
Rest and plenty of non-caffeinated fluids generally help. Keeping the mucus moving out of the sinuses can help reduce the pain and prevent a bacterial infection from brewing in the sinuses. Steam and hot chicken soup are safe treatments, but if you want to try something more, the following is a list of over-the-counter remedies that can be taken alone or in combination with each other. Always check with your health care provider or pharmacist to make sure you don't have certain medical conditions or take certain drugs that could cause problems with some over-the counter medications.
Mucolytics thin the mucus to help it move out of the sinuses. They work better at the higher doses shown here. Lower doses found in combination pills with decongestants aren't as helpful.
Saline flush or nasal spray helps move the mucus out of the nose. Saline is inexpensive and available in a nasal spray bottle, although a saline solution can easily be made at home (¼ to ½ tsp per cup of distilled or filtered water). Since homemade saline does not contain additives to stop microorganism growth, it should be discarded after one use.
Decongestants may help reduce swelling in the nose and sinuses. They are available in a pill or nasal spray. The pills may cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, so people with heart problems or high blood pressure should avoid using them. Do not use the nasal spray for more than 3 days, because using it longer can make the swelling worse when you stop using it.
Mucinex D® has both Mucolytics and Decongestants.
Cowell Health Center has many of these over-the-counter medications. Stop by and ask. No appointment needed.

Some parents of students at Cary-Grove High School are upset with plans for simulated gunfire during an emergency-preparedness drill.
An Illinois high school's plans for an emergency-response drill complete with simulated gunfire has some parents on edge.
Cary-Grove High School in Cary, Ill., about 45 miles northwest of Chicago, has scheduled a "Code Red" lockdown drill for Wednesday. The drill includes the firing of blanks in the hallway so that students and teachers "might be able to recognize the sound and react quickly should an active gunman situation occur," the school said in a statement on its website.
The drill will be conducted with the help of Cary police officers, who will sweep the building.
Some parents wondered whether including the simulated gunfire was going too far.
"It's probably necessary to have the 'code red' drill but not really necessary to shoot the blanks in the hallway," parent Kassy Pinter told CBS Chicago.
"If you need to run a drill, you run a drill," parent Sharon Miller told WBBM Newsradio. "They run fire drills all the time, but they don't run up and down the hallway with a flamethrower."

School officials explained how the drill will be conducted:
"The drill will begin with a public address announcement about the lockdown. After staff have secured their rooms, Cary police and administrators will sweep the building to ensure all students made it into secure locations and assess any potential issues that may become apparent from the practice. Following this, a second PA announcement will be made informing students and staff that gunfire will be simulated so that they might be able to recognize the sound and react quickly, should an active gunman situation occur.
"Following the drill, a discussion will ensue between the students and their classroom teacher. We will utilize this feedback as a building and police department to assess our security and make any necessary adjustments to our building plan. Our sole purpose for utilizing the blanks is to fully prepare our students and staff."
School officials encouraged parents to discuss the drill with their children before and after it happens.
"These drills help our students and staff to be prepared should a crisis occur, but it may cause some students to have an emotional reaction. In those cases, a parent's voice may provide reassurances of the drill's importance," the school said. "Additionally, we have trained social workers on staff who can speak directly with students."
Schools across the country have been grappling with better ways to increase security and respond to emergencies in the wake of last month's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. The massacre, carried out by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, left 20 first-graders and six adults dead. Police said Lanza also killed his mother at their Newtown home and later committed suicide as police approached the school.

Lisle, Illinois ~ When prospective students and their families visit Benedictine this fall, they'll not only encounter a tradition of hospitality and a values-centered liberal arts education, they'll come face to face with the University's history when they walk through the entrance to the new Neff Welcome Center.
On Monday, Benedictine unveiled the $2.5 million welcome center, anchored by the historic Neff Farmhouse, one of the oldest stone structures in DuPage County, at an open house ceremony for University faculty, staff and students, guests, local dignitaries and the Monks of St. Procopius Abbey. More than 100 years ago, the founding monks of the University purchased the farmhouse and 108 surrounding acres in Lisle to expand their vision for a Roman Catholic institution guided by Benedictine values.
"Today is the day that we think about tradition, going back to the very beginnings of the school and the monastery," said Abbot Austin G. Murphy, O.S.B., of St. Procopius Abbey. "Tradition is something we have the responsibility to continue. At this place, we can especially think of what we want to add to our tradition."
Located near the College Road entrance on the eastern edge of campus, the 2,700-square-foot center will serve as the new home for the University's freshmen enrollment operations and the formal starting point where students and their families can learn more about the University.
"It's a stake right in the middle of campus to say this is who we are, who we were and who we will be," said University President William J. Carroll, Ph.D. "It was the first abbey, the first school. It was the first residence and still in a sense is. It's a reminder of who we are, and I think it's an affirmation of who we are today."
Walking through the front entrance to the center, visitors are immediately introduced to the University's past through a series of photographs and other memorabilia adorning the walls. Just off the entrance is a relaxed lounging area and an adjacent meeting room where students can schedule a meeting with an enrollment adviser.
Work on the center began on March 2, 2012, the 125th anniversary of the University's founding as St. Procopius College. The new facility also includes event space, offices and a conference room.
First built in 1852, the Neff Farmhouse was a family home made out of limestone from a local quarry. To retain the rich history of the Neff Farmhouse, matching brick limestone was incorporated into the rest of the welcome center.
An Alumni Plaza complete with a limestone bench and commemorative brick from the Class of 2012 also adorn the entryway to the center.
Fr. David Turner, O.S.B., assistant to the provost for Mission and Identity, reflected on the renovated farmhouse as dozens of passersby toured the inside of the finished facility and peered inside new office spaces, meeting and welcoming areas outfitted with flat-screen TVs, new furniture, a kitchen for staging catered events and a deck overlooking the entrance to campus.
"It's miraculous," Turner said. "It was just a tiny thing and had a group of workmen that were originally living in there, so it's really a transformation. What's important is that this keeps the history going, that the first building that was here when we purchased the farm is going to continue to be a center for activity at the University."
The University is continuing to expand, offering and investing in more services to create an enhanced academic environment to preserve and advance the monk's mission of educating future generations of scholars.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 56 undergraduate majors, 16 graduate and four doctorate programs. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently ranked Benedictine University as the seventh fastest-growing campus among private nonprofit master's universities, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among the top 20 percent of America's colleges for 2011. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fourth largest in the Chicago area in 2011.

This is my entry for 1st round of the NMAE tournament (made in 21 days). The theme was "sweet and sour". I wanted to challenge myself a bit, so I decided to go with something film noir-inspired.
To be honest I ended up getting a bit bored with this animation, and no matter how much I stared at it it didn't seem to help. Buuut at least I've got a list of things that worked as well as things that didn't now.
I can recommend watching this in higher quality on my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/Hikarian0 02
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 3, 2013
Great animation skills done in a short notice, I can see that you got talent. Your animation story is interesting, movements are fluid, voice acting are synced and cool. I don't have to say much as most of the reviewers below me had pointed out your animation's strengths and weaknesses. Such as cloudy, short, need more such series, more potential to be a story, etc.
P.S. The voice of the detective kinds of somehow reminds me of Snake from Metal Gear Solid. :/
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 13, 2013
I like the musc in this one. and the animtion and charator design. But the backgrounds are a litthe cloudy. And it was maybe a little to short. but other then that, it was great. 5/5 from me

text: Posted Online: Nov. 29, 2012, 10:53 pm Kewanee man gets six-year term on cocaine charge Comment on this story By Lisa Hammer firstname.lastname@example.com CAMBRIDGE — Erasmo Gandarilla-Guerrero, 20, of Kewanee on Thursday entered a negotiated guilty plea to Class X felony manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance containing cocaine and was sentenced to six years in prison, three years mandatory supervised release and court costs. Counts of Class 3 felony possession of cannabis with intent to deliver and Class 4 possession of cannabis were dismissed. Charges were filed March 22. According to Henry County Assistant State's Attorney Brian Kerr, the Black Hawk Area Task Force on March 19, 2012 set up a controlled purchase using a confidential source and Mr. Gandarilla-Guerrero delivered 8.6 grams of a substance containing cocaine within 1,000 feet of Kewanee High School. Mr. Gandarilla-Guerrero said through an interpreter in Henry County Circuit Court Thursday that he was so sorry, he made a huge mistake and he knew he had to pay for it. Judge Charles "Casey" Stengel said it was one of the finest expressions of regret he'd heard. Co-defendants Andy Castillo and Luis Cervantes also were charged. Mr. Castillo entered an Alford plea to an amended Class A misdemeanor charge in August and was sentenced to 12 months conditional discharge and fined $500 plus court costs. Mr. Cervantes' next court date is a pre-trial hearing on Dec. 13.

Blue-ringed Octopus Hapalochlaena maculosa
The most dangerous cephalopod is the small blue-ringed octopus, which produces highly toxic saliva powerful enough to kill a human.
To catch prey, the blue-ringed octopus either releases saliva into the water and waits for the poison to take effect, or catches, bites, and injects prey directly. Its bright coloring is unusual for an octopus, and the numerous blue rings covering its body become more iridescent if it is disturbed.

So what time exactly will the Smash Bros. download be available?
You were in the presence of a god! We shall bow down to Sakurai-san.
Wow. My mouth is agape with amazement.
Great concept, great philosophy, great game. Winning all around.
Anyone have a demo code?? /joke
We knew it would be good, maybe not THIS good. Kudos to Sakurai and team!
What a fantastic roster. Has anyone unlocked ROB yet on any of the streams?
Oh my God, that Duck Hunt entrance animation is the BEST thing ever.
Give us the freakin' cute Yoshi plush!
I'm ready to lose my life with this game, yes!
Once again, NA misses out another great prize.
Oh goodness gracious.
I think $59.99 would be the smart price. BUt I was going digital anyway, so I can have smash wherever I go!
Do we have any exact dimensions yet?
Was already going to get both, and now I have even MORE reason to do so!
I love the double meaning in the YouTube video title: "Looks like we don't have a choice!" Sure, it's a Battle Cry for Shulk, but also a nod to the fact that Sakurai and team don't have a 'choice' but to reveal characters that were in the leak.
OH please please please come to the US!!!
@IceClimbers Oh my gosh, so much win.
THE DOC IS IN! And I am so hyped to beat up that Duck Hunt dog. And remember guys, since All-Star Mode was still locked in the leaked photos, and the character roster doesn't look full, we don't have all the characters yet.
I knew that initial leak was real! Everyone (mostly) thought it was fake, but it's definitely the real deal now.
Uhhh. I read "Nintendo Confirms Loads of "Veteran Fighters"' and I got so excited.
Matt De Lanoy is the creator, amazing work of art here.
I hope it looks something like this!
Diverging paths classic mode!!!! Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.
So for those who don't know, Slowbro and Slowking both evolve from Slowpoke independently. Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro at Level 37 OR can evolve into Slowking if traded while holding King's Rock. So, it is possible that if Slowbro is getting a Mega evolution, Slowking may ALSO be getting a Mega evolution. Perhaps one Mega Stone will be available in Alpha Sapphire, and the other will be available in Omega Ruby.
"I have a bad feeling in the pit of me wallet."
As someone mentioned before, it's not so much about the mask as it is Sakurai's comment: "And I am Meta Knight, joining the battle!!"
Regardless, characters like Ness, Wario, and Metaknight aren't going anywhere.
Mmmm fine wine!
Wow. These may be my three favorite mega evolutions. Amazing!
C'mon NoA!! Europe, you better enjoy this!
I agree with most of the Sticker Star comments on here. While the game was kind of fun, it was a disastrous departure from the Paper Mario formula which has proven that it works oh so well. I still don't understand what they were thinking..we really could use another game along the lines of Paper Mario or TTYD.
Looks great! …although, not sure if I'm the only one, but that Challenge icon looks like it doesn't belong.
An awesome evolution for sure. I am so excited for these games! I'm especially hyped for the rehashed gyms, they were so much fun in X/Y. I am hoping that they fix the Exp. Share so that my party isn't out-leveled for half of the game. Also, Flannery <3
My best advice is to take some information from a guide like this, but more importantly, EXPERIMENT for yourself. Try a heavy character with a fast car, and then try a light character with a slow car, etc. Try them on the same course and see how you fare. (You can even try a time trial if you really want some clear comparisons.) Pick the one that feels right for YOU.
I hope there are enough alternate costumes for Robin, so I can choose one that looks like my avatar from Awakening. It would make sense, no?
Guys, it's a "new challenger." Meaning it will NOT be a veteran.
I'm personally hoping for a surprise… Chrom and Shulk are awesome, but are pretty safe guesses at this point. Bomberman, Kat & Ana, or Gardevoir would all be cool surprises I think.
Um…well, of course new characters with new mechanics wouldn't feel as natural as series veterans!
I'm expecting a 6-7/10 on this one, unfortunately. Probably will still get it though.
Oh wow! Pokemon TCG was one of my favorite GBC games when I was a kid.
I was talking with Christina Grimmie yesterday about the possibility of a 3D Majora's Mask remake, so I really hope it happens!!!
Here we go again...
This would be a very smart business decision for both parties.
So, he wants to reconstruct 'puzzle-solving' to include not only decisions made when pushing blocks, but also all of the decisions we make throughout the game. That's awesome.
Nintendo was absolutely brilliant this year. So many highlights. Even if some announcements were vague, they catered their presentation to the majority of the fans.
Probably my favorite announcement at E3.. I am so excited about this, and her move set looks incredible.
It's easy enough to pull off and doesn't give a super unfair advantage, so in that regard, it doesn't really bother me. What does bother me is that it looks stupid with all the "hoppers" bouncing up and down for half of the race. It looks silly and out of place. If this "technique" was not originally planned, it should absolutely be patched.
Oh my gosh, this was way more stressful than I anticipated.
I shall be known as "Ryan" from NJ. Prepare to taste the dust from my tires!

The Rangers and Senators are going to a seventh game while -- stop the presses! -- the Coyotes are going to the second round.
Scott Cullen breaks down Monday night's NHL playoff action.
The New York Rangers forced a Game Seven in their opening round series with the Ottawa Senators, winning 3-2 in Ottawa in Game Six.
Rangers C Derek Stepan, who had been held off the scoresheet for the first five games of the series, put up a goal and two assists, contributing on each of New York's goals.
Brad Richards added two points for the Rangers and now leads the team with five points in the series.
It's been an unusual series in the respect that each team has been able to insert prospects into the lineup. The Senators added junior scoring star Mark Stone to the lineup last game, only to replace him with Swedish scoring sensation Jakob Silfverberg in Game Six. Silfverberg started on the wing with Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek, but ended up playing just 9:02, taking a boarding penalty midway through the second period.
For the Rangers, they have been spotting in Chris Kreider, the Boston College standout coming off a national championship, and though he played just 10:46, Kreider's goal ended up as the game-winner.
Daniel Alfredsson returned to the Ottawa lineup and, aside from three shots and three blocked shots, couldn't muster anything on the scoresheet in 18:21 of playing time and there were several instances in which he was visibly upset on the Senators' bench. For the usually-composed Alfredsson, the reaction stood out.
Senators C Jason Spezza continued to produce, credited with the Senators' second goal on a play that appeared to involve goaltender interference by Senators RW Chris Neil.
Neil had an eventful night. He scored a goal and won a first-period fight with Brandon Prust, but was flattened by a Michael Del Zotto hit late in the game. Whether the intent was there or not (Del Zotto isn't a prototypical bruiser), the Rangers probably didn't mind taking Neil down a peg after he injured Rangers C Brian Boyle with a hit in Game Five.
This series has been evenly matched, so it deserves a seventh game to settle the result and, heading home, the advantage would seem to be with the Rangers, but with the likelihood of a close, low-scoring game, both goaltenders will have a chance to win the game for their team.
Coyotes G Mike Smith recorded a 39-save shutout in a 4-0 win to clinch the first-round series for Phoenix in six games. Smith finished the series with a 1.81 goals against average and a .950 save percentage, giving Phoenix a chance to win even when territorial play dictated that as an unlikely possibility.
Consider how frustrating it must have been for Chicago, fighting for their playoff lives and outshooting Phoenix 28-8 through two periods of Game Six and yet they were trailing 1-0 on the scoreboard.
Antoine Vermette led the Coyotes with four goals in the series, a welcome contribution from a player that scored four goals in 42 career playoff games entering this postseason. Vermette tied with D Keith Yandle for the team lead in points with five.
As the Coyotes pulled away in the third period, their fourth line chipped in a couple of goals, with Gilbert Brule and Kyle Chipchura each putting up a goal and an assist. This was the first playoff series for Brule and Chipchura and the only point they had recorded between them, prior to Game Six, was Brule's goal in Game Five.
While the Coyotes forwards rose to the challenge, scoring enough even when 35-goal RW Radim Vrbata was held without a goal in the series, the Coyotes could really count on their ace defencemen. Yandle had five points and was plus-5 in six games while Oliver Ekman-Larsson had a goal and an assist in the clinching game and led the Coyotes in ice time with 26:31 per game.
Going forward, Phoenix can be encouraged by the fact that C Martin Hanzal returned to the lineup. Even if his Game Six was uneventful, Hanzal played 18:21, a good indication that he's healthy enough to play in the future.
Since the first five games of the series went to overtime, it's not as though the Blackhawks could be faulted for their effort, but they allowed a couple of questionable game-winners in OT and Corey Crawford posted an .894 save percentage over the six games. That's not horrendous, but it's a far cry from the goaltending that Smith was providing for the Coyotes.
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane led Chicago with four points in the series, but Kane didn't register a goal and, given how close the games were, even one additional marker from Kane could have tilted the balance. Kane wasn't the only Blackhawk having trouble turning on the red light. Patrick Sharp had one goal (no assists) and before getting knocked out by Raffi Torres, Marian Hossa had no points in three games. (Toews was 15-4 on draws in Game Six, making him 29-8 over the last two games.)
Generally, it's tough to be too critical of the Blackhawks' effort in the series. They outshot Phoenix by an average of 13.7 shots per game, but couldn't get enough past Mike Smith, while Corey Crawford probably allowed a few that he would like back. Considering how close and competitive the series was, the goaltending played more than a small role in deciding the outcome.

Motherhood and Friendship: How Baby Changes Everything!
A Test of Friendship
Let's face it: A brand-new infant car seat strapped into the back seat in a dear friend's car can become a hurdle between two women. No matter how deep the understanding or how long-standing the chumminess, your relationship may be tested when one of you embraces motherhood.
A new mother seems distracted, when in fact she is focusing on a complex network of new challenges. As a friend, you get annoyed because she looks at you but doesn't quite see you and doesn't laugh at your jokes anymore. I can only imagine how much worse the feeling of rejection must be for someone who has not experienced motherhood firsthand. Women who are trying to conceive but are denied the joys of childbearing are especially vulnerable when a pregnant friend begins to withdraw from them. It's harder for them to accept that a future mother has to focus inward; it comes with the territory.
All friendships are at the mercy of events beyond our control, which is one of the reasons we cherish their fragile pleasures. In hindsight, I wish I had known it was safe to let go of Cathy when she needed to be left alone. Not clinging to a friend is also part of friendship. Even enduring relationships have their own timetables, with cooling off periods that can last months and even years. As it turned out, my friendship with Cathy was only on hiatus. We were lucky: The birth of her baby heralded what was only a brief interruption.
Common Ground
For many childless women, though, the temptation is to deliberately ignore the overwhelming lifestyle change the birth of a baby has brought into their friend's household. And what a change! My friend Susan is mortified because her former college roommate—a Rhodes scholar who became the lead investment banker for an international merger-and-acquisition team—has decided to stay on maternity leave an extra three months. "Since the birth of her daughter, she only wants to discuss the pros and cons of backpack baby carriers versus swaddling slings," Susan tells me, rolling her eyes.

Sill mulling over that Breaking Bad final episode? Well calm down, because we've got an alternate Breaking Bad ending that's a whole lot easier to take. It's going in the DVD package, but if only it were real. Alas, this one's a satire. Bryan Cranston wakes up next to his Malcolm in the Middle co-star, Jane Kaczmarek. Now Walter is Hal again, and he wants to tell Lois all about the scariest dream he just had. "I was this meth dealer!" Lois laughs.
You have to see the clip. It's loaded with hilarious Breaking Bad jokes. Everything's thrown into a jumble, and yeah, it all does start to sound like one crazy nightmare. Lois puts it all down to Hal's eating a deep-fried Twinkie right before bed -- and to his growing a beard. They Hal tries to pull the moves on Lois while she has her back turned, and it doesn't really work for him. "Stop poking me with that thing!" Oh well. At least it really was all a bad dream. OR WAS IT? Wait until you see what's sitting in the chair next to Hal's bed.
Which Breaking Bad ending do you like better?

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 113 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Crazybeautiful Absolutely Amazing! This little strap helped me so much! When I ran the side of my calf would hurt so much that I could not continue. I figured out it had to do with my knee and I purchased the shock doctor knee support strap. There was one that was cheaper but it was just that...cheaper. The shock doctor is firm but still flexible! Best investment ever!!!! September 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by JJ Good for price Works well. Definitely keeps patella in place and reduces pain. It dries easily and you can wear it about 8-10 times before you "need" to wash it. Best way to wash is in a sink with a little soapy water. Only downside is that the back Velcro strap sometimes catches on shorts and comes undone - it still stays put though since the other strap seems to always stay tight. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Loaf amazing product that helped my knee big time The day before the rock-n-roll 1/2 marathon I searched for something to help knee pain that would develop mid run. I was concerned as to never having used something like this before. I strapped it on and started running...mile 13.1 approached and I had zero knee pain from the first step to the last sprit. I was amazed and really glad I spent the $20 for it. September 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by me Priced too high This costs too much for what it is (a band around your knee). The directions aren't clear at all. September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Steve Waste of money Didn't solve the problem and would only stay in place if tight enough to cut off circulation. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dave F. Outstanding! I was diagnosed with "jumpers knee" by my doctor who the gave me some exercises to do. Well they didn't get rid of the pain. While looking for an ankle brace I came across this! It is amazing! The pain is gone! It's a little complicated to put on the first time, but the instructions in the package guide you through it. I wear it 2-3 times a week, I definitely recommend it! September 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lt Great! This strap put my son back in the game. Without the usage, he would've had to sit out of playing football for the season. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by pb Helped Immediately Was having some recurring knee pain. Meds didn't help. This helped in just a few days. I knew immediately that this was supporting the right spot in my knee. Thanks! Purchased online with in store pickup. Seamless! August 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by RDU_Pirate Patella support strap This is the second one I've purchased and was alittle surprised that the price went up about $5 in just one year so probably best to wait until you get a coupon. Also only one strap per package. I use these primarily as a preventive measure when I run or cycle to help avoid fatigue in my knees. -last year finished three Ironman 70.3 races. After about a year, the velco loses it grip on this brand. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Soccer Lover Shock Doctor Knee/Patella Support Strap I got this for my daughter last month while she was at a soccer camp. Another player recommended it so we got it. My daughter says it really helped and she sometime wears it when she is not playing soccer August 14, 2014

Nine suspected undocumented immigrants who bailed out of a vehicle north of Phoenix are in custody after a two-day search, Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies said.
Sheriff's deputies initiated a traffic stop Wednesday night on a vehicle on I-17 north of Pioneer Road.
Between eight to 10 occupants fled on foot into a neighborhood. MCSO set up a perimeter and with the use of the sheriff's helicopter and K-9 units, deputies located three suspects. One was hiding in a backyard of a residence, the others were hiding in a wash. After about an hour, the search was called off with no other leads.
Thursday morning, MCSO received tips that the remaining group of suspects were gathered at a Circle K in the area of Daisy Mountain Road and I-17. When deputies arrived, the suspects again fled on foot toward a local neighborhood. After an hour-long search, deputies located and arrested six suspects.
Sheriff's Human Smuggling Unit detectives learned that the suspects paid between $2,000 and $3,000 to be illegally smuggled into the U.S. They were heading for Los Angeles.
In a separate incident Wednesday morning, detectives from the sheriff's Human Smuggling Unit observed a vehicle on the side of a well-traveled road in Southern Maricopa County. On closer inspection, they said it was loaded with what appeared to be large bundles of marijuana.
Detectives approached the vehicle and four Hispanic men fled into the desert while the vehicle, occupied by two other men, sped off, MCSO said. It came to an abrupt stop a short distance later where the two occupants fled on foot into the desert.
Sheriff's detectives, with the help of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, sheriff's K-9 units and helicopter, searched the area for more than an hour and were able to locate and arrest four suspects. Two others remain outstanding. MCSO found three large bales of marijuana weighing about 120 pounds, with a street value of $62,000.

Our experience of 9/11 has changed; today it is seen as part of a journey and not an isolated event. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, President Barack Obama spoke to the nation saying the battle against terrorism is ongoing.
That awareness that we had gone through the experience of the fall of the Twin Towers and had rebounded, but the danger is not over, and the battle is still to be won was repeated by Senator Carl Marcellino at the Day of Commemoration at the Oyster Bay 9/11 Memorial Garden on the Western Waterfront on Thursday evening.

"Visitation is up 300 percent," said Harriet Gerard Clark, Raynham Hall Museum director.
"Two-thirds of them come because of reading the book by Brian Kilmeade, George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved The American Revolution, and seeing the series 'Turn' on A&E," added Tom Valentine, docent, who keeps the list of visitors. Soon the series will include the story of Robert Townsend of Oyster Bay who was known as Culper, Jr. when he was a spy for George Washington.
Alex Sutherland, director of education, nailed his definition. "He was the most important spy for George Washington because he had the perfect cover. He was pretending to be a Loyalist and writing for a Loyalist newspaper and befriending British officers at his coffee shop in downtown New York while secretly collecting information.

Grippo earned top honors in the women's 30-34 age group with a time of 1 hour, 17 minutes, 36 seconds. Pickard (1:17:39) scored first among the women in the 35-39 age group. Winnubst scored in 1:38:48 to earn third place honors in the Masters Athena Weight Division. Quigley earned the second place award in the Masters Clydesdale Weight Division in 1:23:23.
