LONGMEADOW - An incumbent, a School Building Committee member, a college student and a retired businessman will vie for two spots on the Select Board during the annual Town Election on Tuesday.
Candidates for Select Board include incumbent Mark P. Gold and challengers Michael Clark, David D. Gustafson and Christine L. Swanson. Selectman William G. Scibelli is not running for re-election.
With a ballot question asking residents whether they will approve a Proposition 2½ debt-exclusion override to fund the town's share of a proposed $78 million high school renovation and reconstruction project, candidates have been asked by the public to choose sides.
Although Town Meeting voters on May 25 overwhelmingly supported placing a Proposition 2 1/2 debt-exclusion override question on the town election ballot, they will still have to vote yes on Tuesday if they want the project is to begin.
Gold, a long-time resident of the town and former member of the Capital Planning Committee, was the only member of the current Select Board to vote against the high school project during the May 25 special Town Meeting. He has stated on many occasions that he understands the school needs work, but that the project is not right for this time.
"A lot of people have said they will support the high school project, but then they do not want to be asked for another override, but we will have to ask for other overrides to deal with many of the town's infrastructure needs," Gold said.
The total cost of the school project is $78 million with $34 million coming from the state School Building Authority. On average homeowners will be paying $455 per year over the 25-year life of the bond.
Clark, a 20-year-old University of Massachusetts student, said he supports the project because having attended the school himself just a few years ago he knows how bad the conditions are.
Clark also said that being a young candidate who has never held an elected position gives him a fresh perspective.
"I do take the issues very seriously and I think I can offer new and innovative ideas," he said.
Gustafson has not made statements directly in favor or against the project. During a candidates forum in May he said that while it is hard to look away from millions of dollars in state funding he thinks the increase in taxes will be hard to bear for many residents.
Swanson, a member of the School Committee and co-chairwoman of the School Building Committee, wrote the statement of interest that went out to the state School Building Authority for the school project.
She said that while the high school is a big priority she does understand that the town has many other infrastructure needs.
"What we really need is to reinstate a town-wide facilities committee that can really look at the issues facing all of the town's buildings and come up with solutions on how to deal with the problems," she said.
Candidates running for two seats on the School Committee have all expressed their support of the high school project.
Thomas M. Brunette, a current member of the School Committee, Tracy E. DeMarco, a former instructor at Lubavitcher Yeshiva Academy and Jennifer A. Jester, an attorney and stay-at-home mom, all said they support the high school project and are looking forward to addressing other issues while on the committee.
Brunette said it's clear that the school needs work and he feels the construction project is the best solution.
"The state school building authority has agreed that this is the way to go and it's time for a building that can meet the needs of today's students," he said.
Jester said she and her husband moved to Longmeadow in 2008 primarily because of the quality of the education in the district.
"I did a lot of research beforehand and found this community to have an amazing school system," she said.
Jester participated in the new high school's envisioning process and said the project will benefit the entire community not just students. "It is a necessary project," she said.
DeMarco, who has a daughter at the high school, ran against Brunette in 2009 and lost by 323 votes.She also said she moved to Longmeadow because of the quality education available.
The new facility will be equipped top handle 21st century learning, she said.
Polls will be open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday; polls close at 8 p.m. The polling location for all registered voters is the Community House on Longmeadow Street.
Meanwhile, proponents of the high school building project warned supporters not to be complacent about the lopsided town meeting vote.
"Don't let a 90 percent turn out of 'yes' voters at Town Meeting sway you from thinking your vote doesn't count," Swanson said.
She said while supporters of school projects generally turn out in high numbers for the Town Meeting, they do not do so for town elections.
"Historically schools have done well at Town Meeting, but they have not done so well on the ballot box," she said.
Lancer Pride, the committee formed to support a 'yes' vote, will continue to host informational sessions and display yes signs until election day.
A second group, calling itself Citizens for a Better Longmeadow, argues that the high school can be renovated over time with less financial impact to the town. The average homeowner will see a $455 annual increase in property taxes over the 25-year life of the bond.
If the project is approved the School Building Committee hopes to break ground in the summer of 2011 and have the school open by the fall of 2013.

The reactions to this week's weather are all over the map, with many people grumbling and others simply shrugging their shoulders. This is Michigan, after all.
"It snows in Michigan. But it will warm up eventually, so I just try to ride along with what the weather brings instead of complaining about it," one reader wrote on the Jackson Citizen Patriot's Facebook page.
What irks you more — the fact that spring is slow to arrive, or that seemingly everyone is talking about it?

ORANGE BEACH — Before the months-long deep beach cleaning project began, city officials could not be certain about the impact of dragging heavy tractor equipment across the sand and scrubbing oil from upwards of three feet below the surface.
Would it make the sand too light and facilitate beach erosion through the winter, the season during which the beaches are most susceptible?
It was a question asked repeatedly without a decisive answer.
"We all came to the conclusion that it was going to be a lesser of evils," Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon said. "We could not leave the oil on the beach and in the sand."
The city's coastal resource manager, Phillip West, said officials remain concerned about the possibility of loosening the sand too much.
"You typically can't take Mother Nature's profile and replace it through mechanical means," West said.
But a pair of University of South Alabama civil engineers agreed that the work likely would not have a significant or long-term impact on the consolidation of the sand.
"If the machines are just picking up the sand and putting it back down, then it's probably not doing much harm," said Scott Douglass[fer: cq: ], a civil engineering professor at USA and author of the book "Saving America's Beaches: The Causes of and Solutions to Beach Erosion."
He added, "Typically, we don't want to see beaches packed too tightly."
Problems with erosion could arise, however, if too much of the beach was being hauled away.
Douglass compared a beach to a checkbook.
"If you take out more than you put in, you're going to have beach erosion," he said.
His colleague, Bret Webb, an assistant professor of engineering at the university who has studied the impacts of closing Dauphin Island's Katrina Cut, said the sand might be loosened initially but should start to return to its normal state after the first high tide, which occurs daily.
"My impression is that long-term it's not going to have any negative impacts," Webb said. "Natural beaches are inherently well-consolidated materials."
The massive weight of the water coupled with the heavy equipment on the shore will likely compress the sand, Webb said.
Neither professor has been asked to analyze the deep clean by BP PLC or the coastal communities.
Some scientists have also questioned whether the oil so far below the surface should be disturbed.
While Webb understands the thinking, he said that a strong storm could uncover deep layers of tar, and leaving it there creates the potential of harming creatures that live below the surface along with those that feed along the beaches.
No deadline set
Roughly 450 workers are involved in the deep-cleaning effort in Baldwin County, according to BP spokesman Justin Saia. The company has shied away from setting a deadline on the post-Deepwater Horizon oil spill project.
"While most of the oil has been removed, BP will continue to clean all oiled areas until the job is done," he said in an e-mail.
In the shallow waters near the coastline known as the surf zone, Saia added, a Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Team continues to watch for tar, and remove it with an excavator and sieve bucket.
Compared with BP's initial plan, of which Kennon was critical, the oil giant has brought in a "significant amount of equipment over and above," the mayor said, adding that he believes the work will likely be finished before Jan. 1, when spring tourists make plans to visit the coast.
Once cleanup is complete, however, Kennon wants BP to pay for an entire beach renourishment.
"It presents a healthy, clean beach, and it's a great marketing tool to help us get back on our feet," Kennon said.
Local oversight
Even after BP moves through sections of the beach, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the neighboring Pleasure Island cities must approve of the cleaning.
Kennon said he has Orange Beach workers following closely.
"We're out there spot testing, but we haven't instituted a formal, systematic program to determine just how clean it is," Kennon said. "We may have to drill 10,000 holes to be satisfied."
West said most of the beach appears to be clean, but tarballs have been discovered in some spots.
Douglass believes that more could have been done to block oil from creeping up onto the areas "where you want to lay your towel down" in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.
On Dauphin Island, for instance, workers built small berms at the beach face, the area most exposed to wave action.
"Everyone said it would be easier to clean the oil out off the beach than it would be to clean oil off the marshes," Douglass said. "What's so easy about cleaning oil off a beach? I didn't know how to do it in May. I still don't know how to do it — and I'm the beach expert.
"In hindsight, why didn't we manipulate the profile and keep the oil on the beach face?"
Orange Beach officials considered such measures, West said, but worried that would cause further erosion or create a barrier for sea turtles.
"I'm not sure we can tell if we were right or wrong," West said.

Column | March 5
The Tumblr page for the "I, Too, Am Harvard" campaign that launched last week has already attracted thousands of page views. The initiative began last spring when Harvard sophomore Kimiko Matsuda-Lawrence interviewed Black undergraduates to gauge their responses to life on campus. As a supplement to Matsuda-Lawrence's play inspired by these conversations, the Tumblr features photographs of African-American students holding dry-erase boards with racist remarks that were either directed toward them, or that they otherwise overhead on campus. Having received positive feedback, organizers of the campaign have been contacted by Black students on other campuses, including the University of Pennsylvania, some of whom would like to recreate the project within their own communities.
Of course, the manifestation of the project is not itself new. A couple of years ago, for example, YouTube was an especially visible forum for individuals (most of whom were adolescents) to communicate a personal narrative through a series of index cards. These narratives were often deeply affecting, as they dealt with such issues as bullying, depression and suicide. Unfortunately, some of the youth who had made these videos subsequently took their own lives, even though many had sought psychiatric help and expressed feeling happier only days before these tragedies. If you were to scroll beneath the videos, you would cross into the jungle of the Internet, where sympathy seems to always be forced out of the room by invisible aggressors. Some YouTubers would upload "mock sad stories" that showed them exaggerating their "afflictions." Evidently, these people had no empathy for an unorthodox, yet nonetheless genuine, display of pain.
While I do not mean to suggest that these silent expressions of discontent seek the same ends, I am interested in this voicelessness as a mode of communication and even as a tool for social and individual change. On the "I, Too, Am Harvard" Tumblr, a message on the home page details the campaign's goal of "highlighting the faces and voices of black students at Harvard College." At first, it is perhaps tempting to dismiss the initiative as an experiment that perpetuates a trendy expression of frustration. I myself have questioned the efficacy of index cards and dry-erase boards to communicate something that might encourage action or reform in other people. Although I was touched by the stories of people who had been hurt by others, I never felt as though I could do more than shrug and think, "Hope everything works out."
The immediate success of the student campaign, however, indicates a few interesting things. First is the unspoken truth that a widely known institution or organization is likely the best platform for underrepresented people to tell stories that will probably be heard. Where one child recording a video in his basement may primarily reach people within his own community, students at a place like Harvard (and Princeton, etc.) simply need to whisper, and thousands of people will hear. I would like to emphasize the plurality of "students" which relates to my second point. I suspect that the power of voiceless crusades rests in the interlocked hands of the many. Each photograph in the student campaign is an echo of the one that precedes it, a magnification of individual pain that stretches down the computer screen.
This mode of expression is particularly beneficial for members of minority groups who share similarly discomforting experiences. As I looked through the photographs, I read many statements that I hadn't personally heard, and quite a few that were too familiar. The power of the photographs derive from their visual and textual resonance. One sees, for instance, a young Black man in a hoodie and is reminded of the stereotypes that are imposed on him. As if this were not enough, the dry-erase board displays a checklist of stereotypes: "thug," "ghetto," "hood" and "ratchet," to name a few. Reading the stark, handwritten statements is similar to reading a powerful line in a story that is enhanced by the absence of sound. Likewise, interpreting the oft-ambivalent expressions of the person who holds the board can be like analyzing a painted portrait; one wishes he could know how the subject felt in that moment, but the moment is gone, now only preserved in an image.
I am glad that other schools want to incorporate this very modern brand of expression in their own communities. While the Harvard students focused on the issue of race, I can imagine how college students might also use dry-erase boards to emphasize any kind of personal issue that may be difficult to speak about. In the wake of the recent Penn student suicides, one might be compelled to create a powerful display that exhibits the frustrations and anxieties of all students who feel pressure to perform well academically and socially. These kinds of initiatives may yield the intangible profit of knowing that one has sympathetic peers in colleges across the nation. The "dry-erase model," though familiar, becomes more relevant when many people use it for the same goal. It is a model that I support and one that will hopefully result in more dialogues about student well-being in times to come.

New documentary series on Prohibition features Kirkland bootlegger's son
A new documentary series on the 1920s Prohibition era features a Kirkland man whose father was a bootlegger.
The miniseries "Prohibition" by filmmaker Ken Burns and co-director Lynn Novick premieres at 8 p.m. Oct. 2 on PBS.
According to Seattle Met, the documentary features a Kirkland man whose "rum-running father never forgot his strangely scrupulous boss."
Edwin Hunt's father worked as chief lieutenant to a cop named Roy Olmstead, also known as the "Good Bootlegger."
Authorities indicted Olmstead and 20 other men - including Hunt's father - in 1927, according to the article.
The three-part series, which begins at 8 p.m. Oct. 2-4, features "A Nation of Drunkards," "A Nation of Scofflaws" and "A Nation of Hypocrites." For more information about the documentary and the story of Prohibition in the Northwest, including a map of historic Puget Sound speakeasies, visit KCTS9.org/prohibition.

Well - for six months anyway - the hall restrooms on the ground floor of City Hall are open through the night. Now it is not clear whether the employees have bathrooms other than the ones in the hall and it is not clear if the same open door policy is available to all in the other hours.
See The Oregonian - 8-2-7 article by Andy Dworkin - "If you gotta go, you gotta go, and city hall can help."
It seems rather expensive. $46,500 for cleaning and supplies plus the one extra security. Estimating - this is about $7,750 per month - assuming $25,480 [$20 per hour x 7 days a week for 6months] for the security guard. Leaving $21,020 for cleaning supplies which comes to $115.50 per day.
Are these figures translatable for other potential public toilets?
For sure - 7 days a week - between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.- for six months - the restrooms are open to the homeless and any others who need a place to urinate or whatever can go there. But - be forewarned - you cannot sleep, bath or wash your hair.
Restrooms private or public is a large issue in most, if not all, major cities. The issue - who can use them? Businesses can exclude use of their restrooms unless the person is a patron. But, even the public buildings exclude - "No public restrooms" is a familiar sign.
This sign is prevalent at the social service providers.
Everyone ought to have access to restrooms. But the advocates couch their position in terms as if they are somehow prevented from using restrooms.
In Portland, it is more of a downtown issue. My experience outside of the downtown is that private business restrooms are open - no key - no purchase needed.
It has nothing to do with being a civilized society. It has to do with a certain part of our society that use the restrooms for virtually everything other than taking a pee. Instead - it is drugs, sex, and often using every other part of the restroom than the toilet to urinate and defecate.
It is the need for the immediate cleanup.
The Utopians see the restrooms as social cause - human rights. The homeless are excluded - and violate some human right. Yet none of them would take on the financial and physical effort for necessary maintenance.
However, it is a social issue - how best to provide access to restrooms for those who need it for its intended purpose and will not violate the premises? The alternative is not a pleasant thought either.
The Oregonian reported "[that] in 2002 the Portland Business Alliance, which cleans and patrols downtown streets, counted 6,000 reports from businesses. More than 3,000 were requests to clean up human feces and urine in the streets."
To see more pros and cons - see documents and other resource materials. .
To pretend it is a homeless issue or a human rights issue is pure nonsense. The problem is limited to a small portion in the most broadly defined 'homeless' category. Otherwise, would not the social providers open access to their bathrooms?
Isn't it clear? Face up to it - it takes money for the supplies and cleaning and security - and it is not inexpensive.
Therein lies the rub.

The Coast Guard has given BP permission to begin with their attempt to stop the flow of oil from leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico using a procedure known as a top kill. The approval is the "final authorization necessary to begin the process," according to a statement released by the Coast Guard Wednesday. There is no word on when BP will begin the action.
Approval was granted by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator Rear Admiral Mary Landry after consulting with government scientists and the National Incident Commander Admiral Thad Allen.
BP has been working to contain two oil leaks on a pipe attached to the sunken Deepwater Horizon rig. The rig, which BP leased from Transocean, exploded about 50 miles off the Louisiana coast on April 20 and sank. Eleven people on the rig were killed.

CALUMET - Fred Barry wasn't an imposing physical presence, but don't tell that to foes who tried to tackle him on the football field or ran into him on the hockey rink.
The late Ahmeek native, who stood 5-foot-7 and weighed 160 pounds, had considerable skills in football, hockey and baseball, according to northend historian Bob Erkkila.
"Fred (Barry) was very knowledgeable about whatever sport he was playing in," Erkkila said recently. "But he was also a physical player who gave out as much as he received."
Bruce "Cukie" Coppo, who has logged more years than anyone with the Calumet Wolverines, said he learned more about hockey from Barry than anyone else.
"He was a real student of the game," Coppo said. "He could anticipate what was going to happen ... before it actually took place and make adjustments."
A charter member of the Calumet High Sports Hall of Fame in 2013, Barry was also selected to the Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.
As a senior at Calumet High School, Barry put together one of the finest seasons ever seen on a local gridiron.
During the 1953 season, Barry accounted for 1,717 yards of total offense. Of the that amount, 1,282 yards came rushing the football. He also scored 14 touchdowns, despite missing one game because of illness, and earned Class B All-State laurels.
The Copper Kings played a tough schedule and were a member of the Michigan-Wisconsin Conference. The league was comprised of Ironwood, Bessemer, Wakefield, Ashland, Wis., Hurley, Wis.
Negaunee, Ishpeming and Stambaugh filled out the schedule.
"It was a very tough conference, but Calumet was very competitive because of players like Fred Barry," late Daily Mining Gazette sportswriter Dick Loranger said a number of years ago.
For all of his football talents, Barry is perhaps best remembered for his hockey exploits.
Playing senior hockey between 1953 and 1975 for several teams, he earned a reputation as a savvy player for the C-L-K Radars and later the Wolverines.
Paul Lehto coached Barry in the latter part of his career with the Wolverines. He remembers him as "one of the smartest hockey players around here."
"And he was also very good teaching the younger players on our team," Lehto said a few years ago.
Barry was recruited at a young age himself, joining the Radars while still in high school.
"Joe Savini (general manager of the team) asked him to play when he was a junior in high school," Barry's younger brother, Jack, recalled. "He could see the potential there."
Teaming up with Johnny Whittaker - a future U.P. Hall of Fame pick - Barry quickly picked up the nuances of the game.
He would play mostly for the Radars and Wolverines, but had shorter stints with several other teams.
One of those came during the 1955-56 campaign when Portage Lake Pioneers coach Tony Bukovich invited him to join the team for the Senior Hockey Nationals.
"He (Barry) was just a natural when it came to hockey," said the late Bukovich, who played for a time with the Detroit Red Wings. "He was a big help to us in the nationals."
Portage Lake captured the event, which was held in Lewiston, Maine.
Barry played in the old United States Hockey League with the Des Moines Oak Leafs, Marquette Iron Rangers and Copper Country Chiefs. His last stint in a hockey uniform came with the Chiefs in 1975.
His overall play helped the Wolverines to several Gibson Cup wins over Portage Lake. He combined with Coppo in the 1960s and worked for a couple of seasons with Mike Usitalo, a future Michigan Tech standout.
"Fred (Barry) taught Mike Usitalo a lot about the game," Lehto recalled. "And he set him up for some nice scoring chances (with the Wolverines)."
Erkkila said that Barry served as the conduit for northend hockey.
"First, he came in and learned under players like Johnny Whittaker and Puppy Gresnick," Erkkila pointed out. "Then he passed that knowledge on to Bruce Coppo, who has been doing the same for younger players for 40 years."
No slouch in baseball and softball, Barry played for several teams in his career.
"He played on the same American Legion baseball team (that went to the state finals) with George Brunet," Jack Barry noted. "They were very good friends right from grade school."
Brunet, of course, went on to have a long major league baseball career and still holds the minor league record for strikeouts.
Barry was good enough to be invited to tryout camps with the New York Giants and Kansas City Athletics.
Coppo said his former teammate had a knack for playing well in the big games.
"The higher the stakes, the better he played," said the current Wolverines skipper.

A trip to store leads to police chase
Passengers leap from vehicle as it was fleeing police
Waukesha - A ride to a grocery store ended up being a horrifying trip for two women who had to leap out of a moving truck driven by a man who tried to elude police throughout the Waukesha downtown area Jan. 6.
The driver of the truck, Eric R. Dollar, 32, of Waukesha, told police he had to get away from them as there was a warrant out for his arrest, according to the criminal complaint filed Jan. 9 in Waukesha County Circuit Court. Dollar was charged with felony counts of attempting to flee or elude an officer and two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment.
According to the complaint:
Peggy Sue Rakowski and Anna M. Reilly, were getting a ride to a grocery store at about 8:23 p.m. when Dollar noticed a squad car behind him. A Waukesha officer saw the small pickup truck at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue and the truck went on the wrong side of the raised island so the truck was facing oncoming traffic. The officer followed the truck and it accelerated and drove through a red light at West Broadway and North Barstow.
The officer pursued the truck which went through red lights, one time nearly causing four vehicles to crash. As Dollar tried to elude police, Reilly said she yelled at Dollar to stop and let her out several times. Dollar said "I'm (expletive). I'm wanted," Reilly recalled Dollar saying. Reilly said she tried opening the passenger door a few times but it kept swinging shut due to the way Dollar was driving.
Rakowski told police she too told Dollar to stop.
"Rakowski believes she was going to die, and believed it would be safer to jump from the truck than to remain inside," the complaint said. Reilly also said she believed she was going to be killed.
As the truck turned east on McCall Street, it slowed enough for Reilly to open the door and Reilly and Rakowski jumped out. Both women suffered cuts and scrapes to their knees, hips and hands.
Rakowski told police "this is the scariest thing she has ever experienced and that she was happy to be alive," the complaint said.
The complaint continued:
Dollar continued to drive on and reached a speed of 80 mph on McCall Street near Hartwell Avenue. Dollar drove the wrong way on Sunset Drive, disregarded traffic lights, and then drove the wrong way on Riviera Drive and then drove over a curb at Coronado Street, up onto a lawn and the truck nearly struck a house.
Frank Schwager of 2034 Coronado St., told police he heard tires squealing and when he looked out his window saw the truck come through the intersection and feared the vehicle was going to hit his house, the complaint said.
A bush on the side of the house acted as a cushion preventing the truck from hitting the house, police noted.
Dollar got out of the truck and ran off but was caught by police in a dead end street, the complaint said.
Dollar told police that he had taken a Vicodin pill that day and drank beer and two shots at a bar, the complaint said. A preliminary breath test showed Dollar had an alcohol content of 0.039, which is under the level of 0.08 which is considered evidence of intoxication in adult drivers in Wisconsin.
Dollar was charged in April 2010 with a criminal traffic offense of driving without a valid driver's license, his second such offense. According to court records, Dollar did not appear in court in May 2010 and a warrant was issued. As a condition of his $300 signature bond, Dollar was not to drive a vehicle unless he was properly licensed.
Dollar is being held in Waukesha County Jail on $10,000 cash bail and is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 3 for a hearing.

A team of high school students from Lehman Alternative Community School in Ithaca won the central region championship of the New York State Mock Trial competition Saturday at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Watertown.
The Ithaca team defeated a team from Chittenango High School in the final round of the day-long competition. Eugene J. Langone Jr., a Watertown attorney, presided as judge at the final round trial.
"I've been practicing for 22 years and this is the most stomach-wrenching decision I've ever made," he told the students before announcing the winner. "Your schools, your homes, your communities should all be proud of you," he said.
Seven teams participated in the regional competition, representing Tompkins, Onondaga, Chemung, Broome, Chenango, Oswego and Oneida counties. The team from Chittenango High School, although located in Madison County, was the winner of the Onondaga County district championship.
The Ithaca team included: Sam Koplinka-Loher, Beal St. George, Klaske Schukken, Addy Davidson, Lukas Frija, Tigan Woolson, Quina Weber-Shirk, Vicky Susiphone, Hannah Feldshun, Jordan Stark, Herb Sussman and Sasha Brown. The Ithaca team was coached by Karen Adams and Guy Krough.
The Chittenango team included: Julia Bottoni, Sarah Guzman, Brad Murray, Alexis Phillips, Phil Pollock, Carlie Roman, Kyle Schiedo, Ryan Schiedo and Amanda Tadros. The Chittenango team was coached by Michael Keville and Misty White.
The winning team from Ithaca will move on to the state finals in Albany May 17 and 18.

The Film
Few American icons are as well known for their popular kitsch as the hula dance. From old Hollywood movies to entertainment for tourists, the hip-swaying girls in grass skirts and colorful lei have long masked an ancient cultural tradition. Now, after years of being shadowed by stereotypes, the hula is experiencing a rebirth that celebrates Hawaiian culture. Hawaiians — wherever they live — are challenging misconceptions by redefining the evocative storytelling art of the hula dance across the American mainland.
For Hawaiians, the hula is a way of life. Since ancient times, hula has preserved history through oral tradition, and expressed the soul of Hawaiian spirituality. The sacred chants communicated with the gods, recorded genealogy, honored the chiefs, exalted nature and celebrated humanity. Yet by the early 20th century, many of the unique cultural traditions of Hawai'i were in danger of disappearing — especially the hula. Denounced as a "heathen" practice with the arrival of American missionaries, the hula was soon outlawed and forced underground. Hawaiians were discouraged from being proud of their ancestry, and soon even the language was banned. Nearly lost after decades of assimilation following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, the hula emerged as a symbol of fierce ethnic pride during the Hawaiian renaissance that swept the islands in the 1970s.
American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawai'i shows the survival of the hula as a renaissance continues to grow beyond the islands. With the cost of living in Hawai'i estimated at 27 percent higher than the continental United States, large numbers of Hawaiians have left the islands to pursue professional and educational opportunities. Today, with more Native Hawaiians living on the mainland than in the state of Hawai'i, the hula has traveled with them. From the suburbs of Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area, the largest Hawaiian communities have settled in California, and the hula continues to connect communities to their heritage on distant shores.

Hate You Can Trust
I just wanted to point out that this is significant. Statistical models have become INCREDIBLY accurate at predicting such outcomes. Magnitudes more accurate than the simple polls relied on by news organizations. As data gathering isn't slowing down any time soon, this will be even more visible in the next elections. A disruptive change. Very exciting.
We had this fight on this very board. It's moneyball all over again.
I think it's clear that Silver needs to stop doing useless things like predicting election results and start doing something important liking working for a professional sports team.

DETROIT – Injuries continue to mount for the Detroit Red Wings.
They lost goaltender Jimmy Howard and defenseman Jakub Kindl on Sunday, but it didn't affect their defensive play. Offense was their main problem, as the Red Wings lost 2-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks at Joe Louis Arena.
Howard left after the first period because of a lower-body injury that general manager Ken Holland termed day-to-day. He was replaced by Joey MacDonald.
Howard watched most of the final two periods from the bench, holding a clipboard, tracking shots on goal.
The Red Wings played almost the entire game with five defensemen after Kindl left in the first period with an upper-body injury. He logged only 1:35 in two shifts.
Detroit already was missing defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom (bone bruise in right ankle), Jonathan Ericsson (fractured left wrist) and center Pavel Datsyuk (arthroscopic surgery on right knee).
Blackhawks backup goalie Ray Emery made 23 saves for the win, Chicago's third in five games vs. Detroit this season. All have been decided by one goal. The teams meet once more, in the regular season finale April 7 in Detroit.
Chicago's Patrick Kane snapped a 1-1 tie with the only goal of the second period, at 18:41. Brad Stuart lost control of the puck behind the net to Patrick Sharp, who got it out front to Kane.
"I think they were tired at the end of their shift and (Marian) Hossa got on their guy. He kind of coughed it up to Sharp and Sharp gave it to me up front,'' Kane said on WGN in the second intermission. "I was kind of deciding what to do and I just pulled it, saw (MacDonald's) glove is in the air so I tried to slide it on the ice.''
Two minutes before that, Red Wings rookie Brendan Smith, in his sixth game, got into his first NHL fight, trading punches with Andrew Shaw and getting the best of him.
The loss snapped MacDonald's seven-game winning streak. He is 7-2-1.
The teams traded goals in the first period.
Sharp scored on the power play at 3:17. His blast from the point deflected in off Kronwall's skate.
Kronwall responded at 6:03 with his 14th goal of the season, a blast from the point after a pass from Darren Helm. Helm made a couple of good moves in the offensive zone to set up the goal.
Kronwall, who leads Detroit's defensemen in goals, has seven points in the past three games (two goals, five assists).
The Red Wings lead the NHL in goals from defensemen with 40.

Men and Estrogen – It is not just women who produce estrogen but men also produce estrogen, though in much smaller quantities. Estrogen is the female hormone while testosterone is the male hormone.
When you body begins producing too much of estrogen, testosterone production begins declining and this can lead to a host of health problems and issues in men.
One of the most common problem that arises due to high estrogen levels in men is Gynecomastia or abnormal growth of male breasts in men. This can turn things really embarrassing for men. Other issues that can crop up due to high levels of estrogen in your body include a drop in testosterone levels that can again lead to :
- loss of lean muscle
- weight gain and belly bulge
- reduce bone density and weaker bones
- hot flashes and excessive sweating
- low libido and erectile dysfunction
- mood swings and irritable behavior etc.,
Not just this, high estrogen levels in men can cause development of feminine characteristics in men. This can be a big problem for most men.
Estrogen Blockers For Men
The first step that you need to take in order to control estrogen levels in your body is to get rid of excess body fat. Too much of belly fat tends to increase estrogen level in your body. This is because of an enzyme called aromatase that converts testosterone into estrogen in your body.
Another important step is to control your drinking habit. Alcohol and testosterone do not really gel together. Too much of alcohol can increase estrogen level in your body and this can lower testosterone.
Usually, men can control estrogen in their body with the help of a good and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Some of the natural estrogen blockers include the following:
- Bee Pollen is an excellent estrogen blocker for over weight men.
- Horny Goat Weed or Epimedium Sagittatum is an excellent herb to control the production of estrogen in men. Another natural testosterone booster is Tribulus Terrestris. Tongat Ali is yet another great herb that can help increase the production of male hormone testosterone in men.
- Various berries, citrus fruits, figs, grapes, melons, pears, pineapples etc., are excellent estrogen blocking fruits.
- Fresh green vegetables such as Arugula, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chard, Collard Greens, Corn, Green Beans, Kale, Onions, Radishes, Rutabagas and Squashes are effective in controlling estrogen.
How To Increase Testosterone
Increasing testosterone or the male hormone in your body is not that difficult. Here are some simple and easy ways to do so:
- Begin Working Out Heavy – Weight training is known to boost testosterone production in men.
- Avoid Alcohol
- Reduce Body Fat
- Include Zinc and EFA's in your diet
- Reduce Stress
- Get Enough Sleep
Moreover, Provacyl is a natural testosterone enhancer for men. It is a 100% natural formula that is comprised of age proven herbs and other natural ingredients that can stimulate testosterone as well as HGH production in your body without any side effects at all. It can help you get a better body build and improve body composition. It can also help boost male libido and ensure powerful erections. In addition to this, it can also help elevate mood and improve sleep quality in men. Another benefit is that it can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines so that you can get younger looking skin.

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge attended the Champions Classic earlier this week in Chicago, so he saw in person what many watched on television: Kentucky freshman Julius Randle dominating in the paint, Duke's Jabari Parker showcasing a complete repertoire of skills, and Andrew Wiggins soaring in the second half to lead Kansas to victory. The young talent at the United Center was pretty awesome.
NBA rules prohibit Ainge and other team officials from publicly discussing underclassmen, but he can still offer his input on the 2014 NBA Draft class as a whole. Most observers are calling it the deepest group of prospects since 2003 – when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh all entered the league. But Ainge seems to think a little differently.
"I can't talk about individuals," he said Thursday morning on 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher & Rich show. "But I do think this draft is a good draft. I don't think it's as spectacular as it's made out to be, but I do think it's a good draft. We have two draft picks this year, our own and Brooklyn's, and we'll be watching these players continually throughout the year. Our staff is busy watching every game and doing background checks, checking them all out."
More from Ainge's interview with Toucher & Rich follows.
Ainge on some outsiders believing the Celtics should tank: "I really don't pay much attention to it. I understand where we are as a league, I understand where people see us as a franchise. But we're dealing in the moment and we're trying to find out who we want on our bus, and who we want to move forward with to win another championship. So that's my objective, just to evaluate the players and see who we have and see who really we can rely on, night in and night out – who can help us go forward and where we need to make changes."
MassLive's take: I swear it's not horrible if the Celtics miss the lottery. It would surely hurt to miss out on Parker, Wiggins, Randle and the handful of other prospects who could alter franchises, but think about all the positives that would happen if the Green Team exceeds expectations. That would mean head coach Brad Stevens' style translated well to the NBA, the team's young talent produced at impressive levels, and the team's assets improved their value around the league. Ainge would still have nine first-round draft picks over the next five years -- including two in the 2014 draft -- plus a host of talented young assets to provide flexibility moving forward.
(Counter-point to my own argument: Did you see Jabari Parker and Julius Randle the other night?!?)
Ainge on whether Jordan Crawford's play can make him nervous: "No, I think Jordan is one of the smartest players around. He has great vision. ... Everybody talks about his shot selection. I think Jordan has a reputation as a shot selection guy because he gets the ball in his hands, because he's unafraid to take a lot of shots with five seconds or less on the shot clock that are very difficult. And occasionally he makes those, but I think that Jordan has played well for us last year, he's played well for us from the first day of training camp this year. He has 16 assists and two turnovers in the last couple games. If that doesn't earn the trust of the coach, I'm not sure what will."
MassLive's take: As well as Crawford has played this year -- he's been a revelation -- let's not call Joseph-Gordon Leavitt, Tom Hanks just because he was enjoyable in "The Dark Night Rises." Still, I think it's probably good that the organization continues to praise Crawford at every step. The tactic has worked so far. He seems fully bought in for the first time in his NBA career.
On Brad Stevens' work ethic: "So far – I haven't been around a coach that has put the amount of time in that he has. Well, maybe Tom Thibodeau put in the same amount of time as Brad. But he is meticulous; he covers every detail and tries to think of every sort of advantage. (He) covers it all, puts a lot of time in. He seems like he loves it. Like coach Thibs, I think that they put in a lot of time. I don't know the answer to how many hours a day it is, but he's there all the time working and watching film and meeting with players. All the obligations that a head coach has, he seems to really enjoy it. "
MassLive's take: Yeah, this is obviously good for the Celtics. Some folks in the organization still marvel at Thibodeau's regular 15-plus hour work days.

This is very bad news for those who enjoy boating and fishing in THE best nearby pond to fish in, in the St. John's area. I have fished all across this island's inland waters from Red Indian Lake to Jedore Lake and have to say Paddy's Pond still has some very big fish in it after my 40 years of going there. I for one would rather NOT see Paddy's Pond open to development around it's shoreline. Was there any public discussion on this ? The friend of what government official wants a lot to build a cottage for his float plane ? Chances are good this is why gov has gone this direction.

Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter is taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge to help raise awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease better know as ALS.
What is the Ice Bucket Challenge? The folks over at ALSA.org can answer that:
The challenge involves people getting doused with buckets of ice water on video, posting that video to social media, then nominating others to do the same, all in an effort to raise ALS awareness. Those who refuse to take the challenge are asked to make a donation to the ALS charity of their choice.
In the video below, watch as Caleb Porter is doused with a cooler full of ice water before nominating four other personalities including Alex Morgan of Portland Thorns FC, Jürgen Klinsmann of the U.S. Men's National Team, Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola and The Oregonian's own John Canzano.

Defenseman Keith Aulie, who began this season with the Syracuse Crunch because of the NHL lockout, has signed a one-year, one-way deal with parent club Tampa Bay.
Aulie, 6-foot-6, 228 pounds, skated in 45 of 48 games with the Lightning in 2012-13, recording two goals and seven points while averaging 12:49 in ice time. He set career highs for games played, points and penalty minutes (60) in a season. He led all Tampa Bay skaters for hits with 91 and ranked second for penalty minutes.
In 20 games with Syracuse, Aulie contributed three goals and three helpers.
Aulie has played in 121 career NHL games with Tampa Bay and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has recorded four goals and 12 points with 121 penalty minutes. Aulie made his NHL debut during the 2010-11 season with Toronto and played in 40 games while scoring two goals.


text: I recently bought my second Taurus 738 as I was very pleased with it's reliability and it's excellent CCW factor. The first one I bought for my wife was from Academy Sports Hoover, AL. less than a year ago. This is absolutely no reflection on the store, they have excellent customer service and the best prices. Today I was going to take mine out and test it and while loading the gun I noticed it failed to chamber properly (stovepipe) because of the "loading or feed ramp" being deformed. To clarify, I could not even load the gun because it would not chamber. I'm pretty sure the ramps are formed in a cnc machine because I noticed every Taurus tcp 738 at Academy this week had the exact same ramp defect. The ramps would match when lined up side by side. My conclusion is they are a bad batch and they weren't inspected for sure. Well, lesson learned here is I got lucky that they have an excellent warranty but wonder had it been another brand. I will never by another gun without a very good warranty that is transferable ("follows") the gun. This is not an endorsement of Taurus as I feel they should get it right the first time. My wife's feed ramp is machined perfectly. This gun has been a money maker for them and I guess with the ramping up of production you loose quality control.

SPRINGFIELD – What went wrong? What brought that early exit for the Springfield Falcons, a team that went into the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the American Hockey League's Eastern Conference?
Club president/general manager Bruce Landon and coach Brad Larsen are still grappling with those questions now that their players have departed for their hometowns after a sweet season that turned sour at the end.
The Falcons won 45 games, then took out Manchester in the first playoff round by winning three overtime games. Then came Syracuse, and a totally unexpected four-game knockout in the conference semifinals.
"Disappointing? Yes, for a couple of reasons," said Landon.
"For one, I'm not sure we played up to our full potential against Syracuse, but we have to tip our hat to them because they were so skilled and they forced us into mistakes.
"For another, it's so hard in the AHL to build a team capable of going deep into the playoffs, but I really felt that this could have been one of those deep years for us."
Larsen said he and assistants Nolan Pratt and Jared Bednar have spent hours "dissecting the games against Syracuse," viewing videos of a series in which their Falcons were outscored 18-7 and never had the lead.
"I think I'd have to say that we fed the lion, and he made us pay. By that I mean, our execution wasn't what it should be, and they turned our mistakes into goals," Larsen said.
"That wore on our team's confidence, and I think we began feeling that we had to play a perfect game to win. No question that turnovers shook our players, but let's also give Syracuse full credit, because their skill guys played well and their role players did their jobs."
Larsen said what bothers him most is that his players worked so hard all year, but getting swept leaves them "with a real sour taste."
"No question about it, the effort was there. We had it all year," the Falcons' coach said.
On the positive side, Larsen felt that the coaching staff built a winning culture this season, teaching a "team-first" attitude and holding players accountable.
He said the Falcons mirrored what was happening with their parent Columbus Blue Jackets, who also developed a winning culture and became the NHL's hottest team over the last month.
"A positive is that some players who started with us went up and made major contributions to the Columbus club," Larsen said, pointing to the NHL efforts of Cam Atkinson, Ryan Johansen, Matt Calvert and Tim Erixon.
Those four, along with defenseman John Moore (later traded to the New York Rangers) were called from the Falcons after the NHL lockout ended in early January.
Altogether, 11 Falcons players were called for stints with the Blue Jackets, and performed well.
"A lot of so-called experts, including some hockey people around the league, were saying we'd fall apart when the lockout ended. It was gratifying to prove them wrong, and that's to the credit of the coaches and the players," Landon said.
As Landon reflects on what might have been, he also looks to the 2013-14 season, which could be very important to the state of the franchise. Falcons majority owner Charlie Pompea has deals with the MassMutual Center and the Blue Jackets that run through next season, with options to extend both.
"Yes, it will be another important season for us, and we're going to be aggressive over the summer, building season ticket and group sales," Landon said.
ICE CHIPS: Larsen, who has a contract running through next season, said he won't be going back to his native British Columbia. "This is home to us now, we'll be here all summer," he said . . . Asked to name players who had made the largest strides during the season, Larsen cited forwards Dalton Smith, Sean Collins and Trent Vogelhuber, and defenseman Will Weber. He also had kudos for veteran center Nick Drazonevic, who played consistently well from opening night to last. He cited Jonathan Audy-Marchessault as a skilled player who became "very hard to play against" because he learned all the aspects of his role. As Larsen pointed out, Audy-Marchessault had a plus-20 in the plus-minus ratings – highest among Springfield's forwards.

BEREA, Ohio -- This Browns quarterback carousel has Brady Quinn seeing purple.
Quinn started against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3 and was benched after falling behind, 20-0, in the first half. Now Quinn is expected to be exhumed as the starter when the Ravens come to Cleveland Browns Stadium on Monday night.
The official word should come Wednesday from coach Eric Mangini. ESPN.com reported two unidentified sources said Quinn "likely" will be Mangini's choice to kick off the rest of the season for the 1-7 Browns. This should be welcome news to the Ravens.
After they moved to 3-0 by dispatching the Browns, 34-3, the Ravens lost four of their next five games to hit their halfway mark at 4-4. Two of those losses were to division rival Cincinnati, which is the difference in the Bengals' 6-2 record. Cincinnati has a tiebreaker edge over Pittsburgh (6-2) for first place in the AFC North.
"We've played some good football and played some not-so-good football," said Ozzie Newsome, Ravens general manager. "With eight games to go, everything's still there in front of us."
(Incidentally, Newsome will not comment on the Browns' dismissal of General Manager George Kokinis. Newsome has seen the Browns lure away two of his assistants in the past five years and then fire them both. The other was Phil Savage.)
In the Week 3 meeting, the Ravens intercepted Quinn once and replacement Derek Anderson three times, and held both quarterbacks to a total of 126 yards passing. Since then, the Ravens' shortcomings in the defensive secondary were exploited in losses to New England's Tom Brady, Minnesota's Brett Favre and Cincinnati's Carson Palmer (twice).
They also have seen kicker Steve Hauschka miss pressure field goals in the fourth quarter in two of their past three games. The Ravens reportedly were leaning toward replacing him with ex-Jet Mike Nugent.
The Ravens considered themselves legitimate Super Bowl contenders following their rise to the AFC Championship Game last season. A 4-4 record is no death knell. Three teams reached the playoffs after 4-4 starts in each of the past three seasons.
But with a 1-2 mark in AFC North games, the Ravens know they can't afford another loss to division opponents. After Monday night's game against the Browns, they still have two meetings with Pittsburgh.
"This is a game that [we've got to win]," Ravens coach John Harbaurgh said to reporters.

Last game: Lost to the Bengals, 17-7, Nov. 8, in Cincinnati.
Coach: John Harbaugh, 17-10, second year.
Series record: Ravens lead, 14-7.
Last meeting: Ravens won, 34-3, Sept. 27, in Baltimore.
League rankings: Offense is 10th overall (10th rushing, 13th passing), defense is 12th overall (seventh rushing, 19th passing) and turnover differential is plus-2.
Offensive overview: They could probably just pound their running game to the playoffs but have committed themselves to developing Joe Flacco into a franchise quarterback. He's doing well in his second year, for sure. But good defenses stifle receivers Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton, who wouldn't start for many teams. When they can't get open, Flacco forces the ball and that's where trouble ensues. This becomes a real problem when the Ravens fall behind, which is often. For some reason they have sleepwalked through many first halves. The running back stable of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain is the deepest in the league. But the lack of a No. 1 receiver may yet derail them from reaching their goal this year.
Defensive overview: Perhaps the biggest mystery in Baltimore is the disappearance of the team's pass rush. Linebacker Terrell Suggs seems fattened by a big, new contract. End Trevor Pryce lost his starting job. And linebacker Ray Lewis is looking 34 years old. They don't blitz under coordinator Greg Mattison as much as with Rex Ryan, and when they do they come up short. Without a formidable pass rush, their secondary has been exposed as below par. Every good quarterback they've faced has torn apart starting cornerback Fabian Washington and nickel back Chris Carr. There's some talk of rookie Ladarius Webb being promoted ahead of Washington soon. Also, safety Ed Reed appears to be playing hurt (team denies it). Reed's one-armed whiffs in the Cincinnati game were cause for much discussion this week.
Special teams overview: Kicker Steve Hauschka's days appear to be numbered after his missed from 38 yards last week in Cincinnati. That made Hauschka 0-for-2 in pressure, fourth-quarter kicks in his first season as replacement for long-time kicker Matt Stover. The team may sign ex-Jet Mike Nugent. Punter Sam Koch is ninth in gross average (45.9 yards) and 15th in net (38.3). Ladarius Webb has a 25.8-yard kickoff return average with one TD of 95 yards. Punt returner Chris Carr has been abysmal (4.7-yard average).
Players to watch:
• Safety Ed Reed: Although appearing to be playing hurt, he's forced fumbles in three of the past four games and returned one interception for a touchdown. In 15 career games against the Browns, he has eight interceptions and three TD.
• Quarterback Joe Flacco: They call him Joe Cool because of his calmness in the fourth quarter -- the NFL's money quarter. His fourth quarter passer rating of 118.9 is the league's second-best and his seven TD in the quarter are tops in the NFL.
• Running back Ray Rice: The team's leading rusher (573 yards) and receiver (46 catches) is second in the NFL with 1,009 yards from scrimmage. He co-leads the team with five touchdowns.
Injury report: NT Haloti Ngata (ankle) missed the Cincinnati game. S Ed Reed (neck, shoulder) and CB Fabian Washington (thigh) may be limited.
Small world: A large number of Ravens executives and employees worked for the Browns owned by Art Modell prior to relocating to Baltimore, including General Manager Ozzie Newsome and Pat Moriarty, VP of football administration. . . . Coaches who formerly worked with the Browns include secondary coach Chuck Pagano (2001-04), special teams coach Jerry Rosburg (2001-06) and assistant special teams coach Marwan Maalouf (2004-06). . . . Offensive line coach John Matsko is from Mentor. . . . Quarterback Troy Smith is a native of Cleveland, attended Glenville High School and Ohio State. . . . Linebacker Prescott Burgess attended Warren G. Harding High School. . . . Safety Haruki Nakamura is a native of Elyria and attended St. Edward High School.

WHO releases sketchy report on second meeting of Expert Working Group on R&D FinancingSubmitted by Staff on 30. June 2009 - 22:00
The World Health Organization just published a report on this week's second meeting of the WHO Expert Working Group (EWG) on R&D Financing.
Civil Society letter to Members of the WHO Expert Working Group on R&D FinancingSubmitted by Staff on 30. June 2009 - 15:45
Today nine NGOs sent a letter the WHO Expert Working Group on R&D Financing. The letter focuses on issues about transparency, conflicts of interest, and EWG outcomes. The whole EWG seems to be going very badly right now, in part because of the US government and much of Northern Europe is working hand and glove with the pharmaceutical industry, and partly because the Gates Foundation is protecting big pharma and seems to have an ideological attachment to strong IPR.

Carolina Wren
The Carolina wren was designated the official state bird of South Carolina in 1948, replacing the state's original state bird (mockingbird). The Carolina wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) is found throughout South Carolina and is also featured on the South Carolina state quarter.
The Carolina wren is a small bird with conspicuous white stripes over the eyes. The back of its body is roufus-red and its tail is finely barred with black. The song of the Carolina wren is described as " tea-ket-tle, tea-ket-tle, tea-ket-tle" and can be heard year-round, day and night, in all kinds of weather.

Coaches' Trophy manager Ray Mallouk said he expected his team to take pictures of more than 3,000 people, similar to the number that visited a Kroger in Huntsville where the trophy was on view Friday.
Mallouk said the trophy, an 8-pound Waterford crystal football perched on an ebony base, takes three months to make and is valued at $30,000. The trophy on display is Alabama's, Mallouk said.
Dr. Pepper, the presenting sponsor of the Coaches' Trophy, took the trophy on tour in college towns across the country during the 2011 season, bringing in an average of 600 people per visit.
After the Tide's 2010 BCS National Championship win, an estimated 4,500 fans took photos with the trophy at the Skyland Boulevard Walmart.
Tuscaloosa residents David and Mary Compton brought their sons Cade and Brennan to have their photo taken with the trophy.
David Compton, a Tide fan whose father played football for LSU and uncle played on Alabama's 1925 national championship team, had trouble putting into words his thoughts about the trophy.
"My vocabulary isn't broad enough to describe it," Compton said. "It is beautiful."
Compton said he believed the football season helped bring some normalcy to the Tuscaloosa community that continues to struggle after the April 27 tornado.
The crystal football has one last stop on its itinerary: at the Vestavia Hills Publix supermarket from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

In 2013, no defensive player in the SEC came close to producing as many tackles as Georgia's Ramik Wilson.
But does that mean he's the SEC's top linebacker in 2014?
Wilson led the SEC in tackles last season by a whopping 20 stops, but he did it on a defense that was 10th in the SEC and ended up changing defensive coordinators after the season. Does Georgia's defense improve significantly under new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt? And what will Wilson's role be in Pruitt's defense?
Will he dominate or will a good player on a better defense -- say, Alabama's Trey DePriest -- be the top linebacker?
Make your choice in our poll and check out my top five linebackers in the SEC in 2014:
1. Ramik Wilson, Georgia: Wilson is one of three high-end linebackers who will be the foundation of what Georgia hopes is a revitalized defense in 2014. He had 133 tackles, 11 for loss, including four sacks, in 2013. The next leading tackler in the SEC (Missouri's Andrew Wilson) had 113 stops.
The question will be how he fits into Pruitt's defense and if Georgia is good enough on defense to justify any Bulldogs defender being considered the best at his position. There is no doubting the talent of Wilson, who projects to be one of the top two inside linebackers in the 2015 NFL draft class.
2. Trey DePriest, Alabama: Many are expecting DePriest to move into C.J. Mosley's role as the leader of Alabama's defense and while that might be the case, what's not as clear is whether he's prepared to be as good as Mosley, the SEC's Co-Defensive Player of the Year (along with Michael Sam of Missouri) a season ago.
DePriest had 65 tackles, including 7.5 for loss, in his junior season. With Mosley gone, those numbers should improve.
3. A.J. Johnson, Tennessee: The Vols will have a lot of issues this season, most notably replacing their entire offensive line. But getting solid play from the linebacker spot should not be one of the issues.
Johnson is a big, powerful true middle linebacker who has had back-to-back 100-tackle seasons for Tennessee and has the potential to be as productive as Wilson in his senior season.
4. Leonard Floyd, Georgia: If Wilson is the best inside linebacker in the league, Floyd might be the best 3-4 outside linebacker in the SEC. A year ago, he had 9.5 tackles for loss, including 6.5 sacks and an incredible 22 quarterback hurries.
Look for him to thrive in Pruitt's system and potentially be the SEC's premier pass rusher coming off the edge this season.
5. Benardrick McKinney, Mississippi State: McKinney saw his numbers dip a bit last season, going from being a 100-tackle guy as a freshman to having 71 tackles as a sophomore.
But MSU should be pretty good on defense this season and McKinney should be a productive player in the middle. Look for him to put up solid numbers before going pro.
Others: Auburn's Cassanova McKinzy had 75 tackles, including 8 for loss, in a solid sophomore season. Look for those numbers to improve. ... South Carolina's Skai Moore was the Gamecocks' leading tackler as a freshman with 56 stops and also had a team-best four interceptions. Those tackle numbers should only increase as he gets older. ... Denzel Nkemdiche of Ole Miss was hampered by a knee injury last season, but could return to the form of his freshman season, when he had 13.5 tackles for loss and was a freshman All-American. When he was banged up last year, Serderius Bryant stepped up and finished with 78 tackles, 12.5 for loss. Bryant and Nkediche could be a devastating tandem. ... LSU's Kwon Alexander leads a deep group of Tigers linebackers who don't have a single standout. Alexander is the most likely to emerge from that group to have an individually brilliant season.

Note: This is daily series to mark Syracuse's final year in the Big East Conference. Each day a different game that took place on that date will be highlighted.
Jan. 7, 1989
The nation's No. 2-ranked Syracuse Orangemen, coming off their first defeat of the season, met the 10th-ranked and undefeated Seton Hall Pirates at the Carrier Dome on this date back in 1989.
Syracuse boasted the likes of Sherman Douglas, Derrick Coleman, Stephen Thompson and Billy Owens, while Seton Hall countered with Andrew Gaze, John Morton, Daryll Walker and Ramon Ramos.
Seton Hall would finish the season in the NCAA championship game against Michigan, but on this night the Pirates were no match for the Orangemen. Syracuse romped to a 90-66 victory in front of 32,037 fans at the Dome.
Douglas dominated the game, scoring 20 points and dishing out 10 assists. Coleman had a huge game with 21 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and five blocks.
Syracuse held Seton Hall to 37 percent shooting from the field, including a 2-for-16 effort from 3-point range.

It's been 20 years since the world's worst nuclear accident.
On Wednesday, people around the world, and right here in Broome County, are remembering Chernobyl.
Ukrainian mourners carried single red carnations and flickering candles as they remembered the 1986 Chernobyl explosion.
Hundreds turned out, including President Viktor Yushchenko.
The explosion sent radiation drifting across vast stretches of Europe.
The United Nations says about 9,300 people will likely die of cancers caused by that radiation.
Nearly 30 people came to the Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church in Johnson City for a special service to remember the victims of the deadliest nuclear disaster known to man.
Even though it happened halfway across the world, people say the disaster affected everyone.
"It's affected this community rather closely and it's still close to their heart and for which its important for them to remember how something like this, even though it seems far away, really can affect each and every one of us," says Rev. Teodor Czabala of the Sacred Heart Ukranian Church.
The radiation from the Chernobyl explosion in 1986 eventually took the life of one of this Church's former priests.
Ihor Stets, seen here in 1998, passed away a year later, from an illness contracted while cleaning up from the disaster.
"When he was still a young man, he was part of the regiment of the army, regiment of the army that were liquidators of the Chernobyl accident," says Czabala.
After the service, parishioners came outside to ring a bell 20 times...one time to commemorate each year that's passed since the Chernobyl disaster.
If you were unable to attend tonight's mass, but would like to remember the victims of Chernobyl, you still have another chance.
The church will hold another mass commemorating the 20th anniversary of the disaster this Sunday morning, April 30 at 10 a.m.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Loving matriarch and homemaker Mary ReDavid, 78, of Arrochar, died Monday at home.
She was born and raised Mary Giresi in Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood, and moved to Staten Island in 1975.
"She was strong-willed and determined, very religious, and devoted to God and family," said her son, John. "She had a great relationship with her grandchildren and played an active role in their lives," he added.
Mrs. ReDavid was an avid reader. She enjoyed cooking, especially Italian cuisine, and was famous for her chicken cutlets, family said.
She was a longtime parishioner of Holy Rosary R.C. Church in South Beach.
Her husband of 46 years, August, died in 1999.
In addition to her son, John, she is survived by another son, Gary, and seven grandchildren.
The funeral will be Friday from the A. Azzara Funeral Home, South Beach, with a mass at 10:30 a.m. in Holy Rosary Church. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, New Dorp.

Petersburg Public Works Department continues to replace planks on the Rasmus Enge Bridge, [Sing Lee Alley Bridge], Petersburg City Manager Steve Giesbrecht reported during his Managers Report during the regular meeting of the Petersburg City Council Monday evening.
"We are replacing planks as they wear out on the bridge," Giesbrecht said. "But we are hoping to find funding to explore options for this bridge."
Giesbrecht and Petersburg Indian Association Roads Director Will Ware discussed the possibilities of funding through the PIA organization.
"We have received funds from the Denali Commission in the past but it does not appear that Denali will be getting enough money for projects such as this," Giesbrecht stated. "We are hoping to work closely with PIA on this project, but in the meantime we will be watching the bridge very closely."
Giesbrecht reported that the Petersburg Public Library will be closed from Dec. 24 to Jan. 2 for inventory, maintenance and other work that needs to be completed to prepare for the new facility.
The pool will also be closed from Dec. 17 to 25 for maintenance.
"We chose to close the facility for this week before the Christmas break," Giesbrecht stated. "The maintenance will be completely finished and the facility will be open for use during the break."
Winter Camp through Parks and Recreation will begin Dec. 26.
"There will be a "Drive-in" movie at Parks and Recreation to raise money for the movie theater," Giesbrecht stated. "The movie will be a double feature of Cars and Cars II."

Abstract: Northgraves, MJ, Peart, DJ, Jordan, CA, and Vince, RV. Effect of lactate supplementation and sodium bicarbonate on 40-km cycling time trial performance. J Strength Cond Res 28(1): 273–280, 2014—The use of nutritional supplements to improve sporting performance and increase training adaptations is commonplace among athletes and is an expanding market in terms of product choice and availability. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 2 ergogenic aids with extracellular blood buffering potential, namely sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and a lactate supplement, during a 40-km cycling time trial. Seven recreationally active men (age, 22.3 ± 3.3 years; height, 182.5 ± 6.5 cm; body mass, 79.2 ± 6.3 kg) completed five 40-km cycling time trials, including a familiarization trial in a randomized, blind, double placebo-controlled design. Subjects ingested (a) 300 mg·kg−1 body mass NaHCO3 (BICARB), (b) 45 mg∣kg−1 body mass sodium chloride (PL-BICARB) as the placebo for the NaHCO3 trial, (c) 1115 mg lactate (LACTATE), or (d) plain flour as the placebo for the lactate trial (PL-LACTATE) 60 minutes before exercise. There was no significant difference in performance between the 4 conditions (p > 0.05). Although NaHCO3 ingestion induced significant changes in all the acid-base variables (all p < 0.05), no significant change was seen following lactate ingestion (p > 0.05). Subjects in the LACTATE condition did have a significantly higher heart rate (p < 0.05) without experiencing any greater perceived exertion (p > 0.05) than the other 3 conditions. Neither NaHCO3 nor lactate supplementation seem to improve 40-km cycling time trial performance. However, the potential benefits following LACTATE regarding perceived exertion require further research.

Taxation without representation is just one reason to vote no on I-1240, the Charter Schools Initiative.
This would allow a commission to be created by corporations, not elected, to oversee charter schools. The schools would be funded by property taxes and levies that are now going to our public schools. The commission would not be accountable to voters or board members elected by us. Some others voting no on I -1240 are PTA, League of Women Voters, NAACP, and El Centro de la Raza.
Please join me in voting no on I-1240.
Ardis Morrow
n n n
The League of Women Voters of Washington opposes I-1240, privately run but publicly funded charter schools, for the following reasons:
— Private boards selected by corporations rather than publicly elected school boards would govern charter schools, even though the Supreme Court has ruled that "common schools must be subject to and under the control of the qualified voters of the school district."
— A new politically-appointed state commission would be created to authorize and oversee charter schools rather than the constitutionally mandated and publicly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction and would not be accountable to voters or elected officials.
— Although proponents of the initiative promise "at risk" students and those from low-performing schools will be served by charter schools, nothing in the initiative requires it.
— An existing public school could be converted to a charter school by a petition signed by a majority of teachers or of parents. The school district would lose the state funding but be required to provide the existing facility rent-free, be responsible for repairs and upgrades, and be required to allocate levy money to the converted charter school.
— Research by Stanford University shows that overall charter schools do not perform better than public schools, and nearly 40 percent of them do worse.
— The Supreme Court has ruled that Washington is failing to fund the education of all students required by the Constitution. The state isn't funding the current 295 school districts; adding 40 more school districts will just make it worse.
Let's work toward full funding for all students in all schools rather than be distracted by charter schools that would only serve a limited number of students chosen by lottery.
Please join members of the League, state PTA, NAACP, El Centro de la Raza and others in voting NO on I-1240.
