"You all right?" Bill Cubit asks every now and then.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me," Winchester responds each time.
But Winchester isn't all right. The poker face the Western Michigan University junior running back keeps for his teammates and the puzzled look he saves for reporters couldn't hide reality forever.
Winchester has played most of season with a sports hernia, which WMU's medical and coaching staff believed to be a lingering groin strain until about three weeks ago.
"See the problem is, he won't tell you he's hurt," Cubit said of Winchester, part of the Broncos' North Miami Beach pipeline. "He just goes out there and plays. It just got to the point where you've got to do some testing on it."
WMU at Bowling Green
When: 2 p.m. Friday, Doyt L. Perry Stadium, Bowling Green, Ohio.
TV, Radio:Buckeye Cable Sports Network (no local TV), WKZO-FM (96.5)
Winchester doesn't really care what the tests show or that he'll have surgery as soon as the season is over. Even this week, as he prepares to play in today's regular-season finale at Bowling Green only in an emergency, he wouldn't admit that he's any more banged up than anyone else, the medical profession be damned.
"Won't do it," Cubit said.
"Never does," added fellow running back Brian Fields, who has emerged in Winchester's absence but is doubtful for today with a right heel injury. "He's got that warrior mentality — never show any weakness, never show any sign of things aren't OK."
Winchester's simple explanation: "I mean, I always thought pain was part of the game.
"You don't want to be sitting around whining about it. There's nothing you can do about it."
But after two fumbles at Central Michigan, bravery aside, something was wrong.
Baring a carry or two today, Winchester's season will end with 264 yards and no touchdowns on 91 carries, an average of 2.9 yards per rush through seven starts.
"It's frustrating but it's not an excuse," said Winchester, who was slated to be the featured back this season after the departure of Brandon West. "There was still an opportunity for me to make plays. I just didn't make them. It wasn't anything to do with injury, just didn't make a play when I could. I wouldn't say the injuries limited me this year or made it drop off. Just didn't make plays when I needed to make them."
The truth gets lost in Winchester's toughness. Cubit knows it. It's why he finally shut Winchester down.
"You want him out there to be successful," Cubit said. "He is too good of a player, too good of a person to go out there and not (be healthy). He wasn't going to be performing at his best. To see the competitive nature in the guy and not be able do it to a point that's not a winning effort, you just don't want to do that to the kid. He's got so much pride."
When Winchester returns after an expected six-week rehab this winter, he'll have to compete for carries with a bevy of young backs, including Fields and true freshman Tevin Drake, who will start today.
Whatever happens, he'll have the respect of his younger position mates.
"He's a real tough guy, a strong individual," Fields said, shaking his head. "He never gets down. He's always upbeat, positive, gets the team going."
"You feel so sorry for him," Cubit said. "Because he's one of the hardest-working kids on the team, one of the toughest guys we've got. It's just an injury that really limits him. And it's not going to get better until we have the surgery on it. But he goes out there and he works hard every day. He's supportive, he's a leader. Now, it's not so much on the field, but it's the way he handles himself all around. He's a good role model for the younger guys.
"He's just a great, great kid. It's a lesson in life. It's disappointing, but it's also kind of encouraging to see how he handles adversity."

In two days, me and the boys are flying the friendly skies to visit my Mom and Dad. This flight is our first since the Invasion of the Body Scanners. The hour is already late, so I'll not rehash concerns over TSA policies. I previously posted on TSA issues here, here, and here if you are interested.
I want to make a comprehensive list of known TSA abuses, but that will have to wait. Too many links need compiling. This post will serve as an introduction.
Problems at the security checkpoints are unlikely, but one must prepare for eventualities. Fortunately, this guy has done the work already, creating a TSA regulation cheat sheet. Important facts include: 1) TSA agents cannot detain you; they must call local authorities for detention. 2) TSA must inform you how you'll be touched before they touch you. 3) Touching is restricted to the minimum necessary to detect weapons or explosives.
Did you know that TSA has its own blog on Blogger? Yep. It's so homey and nice; it almost feels like everyday people run the site. Their latest post is about a new program that uses "Automated Target Recognition" to turn naughty nakey images into crude outlines. Very private . . . unless the automated program ends up creating false positives that necessitate more of those invasive pat downs.
Me and the boys will go through the body scanners rather than "opt out." So, the only way we'll run into trouble: if we need patting down in addition to the body scanner, and that pat down includes areas within my sons' underwear.
I won't consent to that. I'll have to forgo my flight and drive instead. A very unlikely scenario, that.
Still, I prefer to mentally draw a line before being confronted with the situation.
Anyway, I hope to post a comprehensive list of complaints against TSA soon. Of course, this list will be limited by what I find on the internet. According to this article, when the ACLU solicited complaints last November, they received over 900 in the course of one month. Snippets from these complaints can be read here. More recent TSA problems include the unreasonable pat down of a six-year-old, as well as the arrest of a mother for having a stern tone and bad attitude.
Hmm. I have a six-year-old. My "stern tone" could rival a Gunny's. And bad attitude?
Maybe I should be nervous after all.
While scanning TSA search results, I got to thinking: has anyone made a FOIA request for official complaints against TSA?
Ding ding ding, the answer is yes. Judicial Watch has indeed made a FOIA request for all records of complaints about TSA's new pat down process.
The TSA response was rather cheeky: define complaint.
Because you know, it all depends on what the definition of "is" is.

ALLENDALE -- A Grand Valley State University student told police last night that a man attacked her as she walked on campus and tried to remove her clothing, but she managed to fight him off.
The student told police she was walking about 11:30 p.m. near the Little Mac Bridge, returning to her room on the north side of campus, when a male emerged from nearby bushes and attacked her.
The assailant held her against her will and tried to remove her clothing, she told police. She kicked the person in the groin, managed to escape his grip, then ran to a nearby housing complex.
The incident comes 10 days after another student reported being assaulted at about the same location, but ended up telling police her story was false.
Police said they had closed that incident, according to GVSU public relations staff.

|Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment <email@example.com>
|Wed, 12 Jul 2006 15:26:27 -0400
I was hit with lightening the other day and my O2 to SteppIR control box are no longer on the same page. Normally, when I change the O2's frequency the SteppIR box changes the beam to the same frequency. After the jolt by Mother Nature they aren't talking. The SteppIR box works fine in the manual mode. My question is. Is there a free down load O2 program I can run and control the O2? I can take the DB9 off the SteppIR box and connect it to the computer to see if the computer talks to the O2 to prove the O2 or the SteppIR box. Or is there an easier way to prove the O2's interface isn't the cause. Thanks.

Keira Holmes would have been 2 years old today, the age when family members begin to see the little girl or boy that their baby is becoming. But little Keira was snatched away before she saw two candles on her cake, shot to death by criminals who were intent on killing and didn't care who was in their path.
Her death is igniting public outrage and a determination to overcome New Orleans' plague of violent crime, and rightly so.
"I want to say this to the people of the city: We have to win this battle,'' Mayor Mitch Landrieu said during a press conference Tuesday evening to announce the arrest of alleged triggerman Narkee Hunter.
"It has fallen to us to attack it, to not turn our heads away from it,'' Mayor Landrieu said. "This city dies every day when we have senseless killings like this ... We must win. We have to win.''
His cry for a unified front against violence strikes the right note. New Orleans has a murder problem that must not be minimized as criminals shooting other criminals. The shooters who opened fire in broad daylight in front of the B.W. Cooper public housing development Sunday afternoon weren't gunning for a toddler. Their target, according to police, was 19-year-old Emmett Allen, who was struck several times but survived.
But when people grab guns to settle scores or when criminals use bullets to control their turf, they put everyone in danger. And the city does suffer.
Keira isn't the only child who has fallen victim to violence. The very same day she was fatally shot, a 9-year-old boy in eastern New Orleans was struck by gunfire in an eerily similar scenario. In the fall of 2010, another toddler, 2-year-old Jeremy Galmon, was killed by gunfire in broad daylight as he sat in a parked car with his grandmother during a nearby second-line parade.
There are no easy answers to quelling New Orleans' out-of-control homicide rate. City leaders will have to continue trying some of everything -- addressing underlying social ills that lead to crime, rounding up illegal guns, focusing resources on serious crime rather than minor offenses. Those who carry the heaviest responsibility: the police, the district attorney and the courts, will have to muster their energy and creativity and develop a spirit of unity -- not waste time in counter-productive finger-pointing.
New Orleanians will have to answer the mayor's rallying call, too, and there's evidence that is happening. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas credited a flood of tips with helping the Police Department to make swift arrests. Besides Mr. Hunter, who police said would be booked on murder charges, Tyrone "T-Bone'' Knockum also was booked with one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. Terrious Owney, who has been described by police as a person of interest, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Georgia.
New Orleans must do better by all its children: those caught in the crossfire of violence as well as those trapped by poverty and other social ills that rob some of them of hope and even empathy.
Every single part of the criminal justice system is crucial to winning the battle against violence. So is every effort to build up this community and better people's lives. It will take all of our resources, public and private, to make New Orleans a place that's safe for little children -- and everyone else.

Tex Murphy – Project Fedora by Big Finish Games
Fundraising Deadline: Saturday June 16, 2012 @ 1:51 AM EDT
Fundraising Goal:
A gajillion dollars $450,000
Project Type: Adventure
Platform(s): PC and Mac (with others possible if funding goal exceeded)
Estimated Project Completion: December 2012
Project Description:
"Project Fedora" will continue the amazing adventures of Tex Murphy, the down-on-his-luck P.I. in post-apocalyptic San Francisco. This long-awaited game will be the sixth in the adventure series, which includes the award-winning games Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive and Overseer.
Project Fedora will reunite creators Chris Jones and Aaron Conners and feature their trademarks of rich interactive storytelling and immersive gameplay. The new game will incorporate the very best of the classic Tex Murphy elements – sci-fi, film noir, witty dialogue, great characters, beautifully integrated FMV, and a deep, engaging story – but it will also enhance the experience of the former games with stunning new graphics, a sleek new interface, and other updates.
Why is it on our radar?
There was a time when the gaming community grew tired of hokey, full motion video (FMV). The practice has all but died out, which is a huge tragedy. Classic adventure games that incorporated live actors in funny costumes were a huge part of my childhood, and I couldn't be happier to find out that the original creators of Tex Murphy are giving it a go through Kickstarter. The original creators are back, and have vowed to pick up where the cliffhanger at the end of Overseer (the third and final game in the series) left off.
Additionally, the team will be introducing "narrative patching" which changes the course of the story depending on player decisions. This will help address a frequent criticism of adventure games. Most people have a hard time returning to them after completion because the story is the same every time.
If you'd like to get a sense for how the new game's engine will work in a 3D space, take a look at the pitch video. It'll be interesting to see if Tex Murphy – Project Fedora can reinvigorate usage of FMV.
You can learn more about Tex Murphy – Project Fedora on the Kickstarter page.
Word Realms by Asymmetric
Fundraising Deadline: Thursday June 21, 2012 @ 3:49 PM EDT
Fundraising Goal:$100,000
Project Type: Word-based RPG
Platform(s): PC and Mac
Estimated Project Completion: October 2012
Project Description
We decided to make a massively multiplayer online RPG where you'd fight by making words out of letter tiles (like a fisticuffs Scrabble, without a board). First, though, we thought we should make a single-player version of Word Realms to ensure that it was fun and worth doing. What was imagined as a six-month task has turned into a four-year project — partly because we could only work on it half- or quarter-time (KoL soaks up a lot of our creative juices), and partly because the scope just kept creeping up and up.
We added one word-based mini-game, and then another, and then another, and now we have… eight? We crafted puzzles, included cutscenes, hid some Easter eggs, and commissioned an ever-increasing amount of awesome music (by Gaby Alter, who is also known as Gminor7 from MC Frontalot's band). We expanded the storyline, added multiple endings, and made an "endless" mode where you fight ever-tougher opponents and get cool randomly-generated loot.
Why is it on our radar?
My name is Mike and I'm a word nerd. Earlier this year, I fell in love with a game called Quarrel, which combines high pressure word formation with the joys of world domination. Think Risk with words. That game is proof positive that genre-blended word game can work. The great art style and clever gameplay hinted at in the pitch video have me interested. The creators also indicate that a beta is going to be ready to roll once the Kickstarter is finished.
It doesn't hurt that they've hinted as some cool easter eggs. If you don't recognize the figures featured on the page (at least some of them), you should be ashamed. The video also gives you a taste of the humor that will be involved in the rocket propelled grenade, so if goofy nerd jokes are your thing, you should be in heaven.

The Time Tribe by Karen Wehner
Fundraising Deadline: Tuesday June 5, 2012 @ 11:59 PM EDT
Fundraising Goal:$25,000
Project Type: Educational Adventure
Platform(s): iOS, PC and Mac
Estimated Project Completion: Summer 2012 (beta)
Project Description:
The Time Tribe is an episodic time travel adventure game for kids aged 8-13 ("tweens''), built on an epic story rooted in real history and archaeology. Brought to life on beloved tween entertainment platforms, it's designed to foster cross-cultural understanding, historical knowledge, empathy, and global citizenship.
With a core point-and-click adventure game set in an immersive, historically accurate virtual world environment, the game crosses the digital/real world divide with cool physical artifacts, serial comic books, real-world mailings such as letters from the characters, and plans for much, much more.
Why is it on our radar?
With two kids, I'm a sucker for cool trans-media experiences. Throw in the words "time travel" and I immediately flash back to my time with the chrono-capers of Carmen Sandiego. I want my kids to be able to have that same kind of experience with gaming, and while The Time Tribe isn't exactly like the old Broderbund titles of my youth, it's something that they will likely gravitate toward.
The inclusion of comics, letters and real world objects will enhance the educational experience. I remember playing a game called Majestic back in the early 2000s. It involved use of AIM, phone calls and more. It was a bit hokey, but kept me excited for the next episode. With the use of similar, unexpected connections with the game, children will be more engaged in the subject matter.
In this case, that content is being directed by Karen Wehner, a Ph.D. in anthropology, who also has a decade and a half of experience as an educator and researcher in the field of archaeology and history. This is exactly the kind of project that kids need to build a healthy understanding and appreciation for learning.
You can read up on The Time Tribe on the Kickstarter page.

South Whidbey Class of '01 graduates
"Co-valedictorian Sarah DeGraaf says goodbye during her address to the Class of 2001.Matt Johnson, staff photosThere was so much blue in the South Whidbey High School gymnasium Saturday afternoon, you'd think somebody would have been sad.Any of the tears that did fall, however, were tears of happiness, not a sign of the blues. Saturday was the day 164 South Whidbey students received diplomas and graduated from high school. Now, instead of counting down the weeks of summer vacation until the start of the next school year, the graduates of the Class of 2001 are looking for jobs, getting ready to go to college, or ticking off the days until they head off to one of the United States armed services.As their parents, teachers, friends and relatives watched, the graduates gingerly eased themselves out of their high school careers. Co-valedictorian Sarah DeGraaf noted in her address to the class that the past few weeks had flown by so quickly she hardly considered herself prepared for Saturday's commencement. She said even her speech, which she started thinking about more than a month ago, was a last minute effort mixed with dozens of other last-minute tasks.Knowing they would have to begin looking ahead the moment they left the graduation ceremony, the class took some time to look back and remember. In the darkened and overly warm gym, the class watched a slide show filled with high school moments caught on film. Class president Megan Bartlett, who was charged with the class's final sendoff, said during her speech that the 12 years of school each senior needed to graduate Saturday would prove to be the basis of who they were. She then took several minutes to recognize graduates who spent that entire time on South Whidbey.These students have gone from storytime to term papers all on South Whidbey, she said. After marching out to meet their friends and family for hugs and congratulations, 99 members of the graduating class prepared for the school-sponsored grad-night party. Having been given no details about the party beforehand, the students boarded buses at about 9 p.m. and headed for Pier 57 in Seattle. Once there, they went aboard an Argosy cruise boat for dancing, food, and casino-style gambling. Denise Perkins, one of the party organizers, said the hit of cruise was a hypnotist who convinced a number of students that they were on a Mexican beach, in Alaska, and that their classmates were running around wearing only their underwear.After the cruise, the group traveled to Fantasia, a game arcade where the graduates played video games, laser tag, and other fun contests. They had breakfast at the arcade at 5 a.m. before returning home. "

Livery leveled
Historic Cherry Creek building demolished
May 8, 2013
CHERRY CREEK — Bittersweet memories were shared as a well-known historic building was demolished in Cherry Creek recently....
Stockton was completely gone when they tore the old buildings down a few years back. Would be nice if we could save them somehow.. Guess no one cares enough anymore..

We report our Egypt-based observations of Venus transiting the limb of the Sun on 8 June 2004 using a C-5 telescope outfitted with an aperture reduction ring (reducing the diffraction aperture to only three inches) and a Nikon Coolpix 5400 digital camera. We noted various distortions of the image depending upon camera alignment and stability. These distortions resemble some of the sketches made by observers of the 19th-Century transits. Meanwhile, diffraction limited images showed little black drop effect, while the effect became very pronounced during moments of poor seeing. We discuss the causes of the black drop effect and related optical distortions observed during transits, and we comment on the question of why most observers noted little, if any, of these effects during the 2004 transit in contrast to the strong effects reported in previous centuries.

I received this through the post today from the Baltic in Gateshead and really liked the play on words it presented. Working in advertising myself, I can fully admire an established brand, however old, such as Penguin books and how it can be adjusted to fit in with the modern aesthetic of the Baltic.
BALTIC presents an exhibition of new works by British artist and writer Harland Miller. The Bad Weather paintings, based on the dust jackets of old Penguin books wistfully comment on the culture of North East England where Miller grew up.In addition, during the exhibition the north face of BALTIC plays host to the large-scale banner of the painting Gateshead Revisited.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Capping off the new Celebration on the Grand weekend downtown, people packed the streets to view the Amway Family Fireworks on Saturday night, July 5.
The fireworks followed a weekend of live entertainment in Ah-Nab-Awen Park and on Rosa Parks Circle. It was the first time Celebration on the Grand was held in July, corresponding with Independence Day, instead of during its traditional weekend in early September.
This is the fourth year Amway has sponsored the city's official July 4 fireworks display.

I got the impression he wouldn't be buying BP stock any time soon. And you?
"I think he's gonna be in big trouble. He wasn't nearly mad enough."
Mad? Was he supposed to be mad?
"Of course! Ain't you been paying attention? Presidents these days are supposed to go ape nuts over stuff like the oil spill. If Obama was smart he'd have ripped off his shirt, knocked over his desk and said, 'Me destroy BP! BP rue day they ruin Gulf!'"
And what good would that have done?
"Nothin'. But that's not the point. If he'd gone all Incredible Hulk on camera then the media would maybe stop asking people whether he's been angry enough about the spills and we can all move on to something more important, like whether he's made enough visits to the Gulf and whether he's looked frowny enough when he's looking at globs of oil on the beach."
I detect sarcasm.
"You ought to. I think it's stupid that all of a sudden presidents gotta act in certain ways during disasters simply because the press tells them they got to."
You're just saying that because they've been attacking your guy Obama.
"No, I'm not. I thought it was stupid when they did it Bush during Katrina, too. They beat that guy to a pulp for not flying over New Orleans soon enough. I was no fan of the guy, but would him showing up sooner have made a lick of difference?"
No. But what's wrong with a president indicating his support by showing up or displaying emotion?
"Nothing. What bugs me is that they gotta do it now or the press will kill them. It just ain't right. Did Washington have to do a fly-over of whatever disasters they had back then?"
Probably not since they didn't have planes.
"You get my point, smart guy. Presidents never used to visit disasters at all. Did Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan? And do you think they didn't because they were cold and heartless?"
No. I'm assuming they didn't because in some cases it was difficult to travel and because presidents just didn't do that sort of thing.
"Exactly. But they gotta do it now because of the new journalism."
The new journalism?
"Yeah, instead of just reporting on stuff that happens, they invent their own stories by asking whether the president is going to do this or that when a disaster hits, then they report on whether the guy actually does what they suggested he ought to do. And if he doesn't, they do a poll asking whether he should've. And then you get headlines that say, "Forty percent of Americans think president is a heartless jerk. So what's a president to do? He does exactly what the press says he shoulda done all along, which is the tail wagging the dog, don't you think?"
You sound pretty mad about it.
"You have no idea. I think I may have to rip my shirt off."

Brendan Hall of ESPN Boston and Jay King of MassLive.com collaborated to break down the Massachusetts high school boys basketball state finals, which will be played Saturday at the DCU Center in Worcester.
TIME: 4 p.m.
School: South Hadley
Record: 17-7
Region: West
When South Hadley dropped to 7-5 with a 26-point loss to Sabis at the Hoophall Classic in mid-January, coach Jeff Guiel kept the team in the locker room for about a half an hour. He told his players they needed to be mentally tougher. He implored them to use their assistant coaches, former South Hadley players, as examples. He didn't really know what else to do. He felt his team could play much better, but he saw an underachieving bunch sitting in front of him.
South Hadley lost its next two games after that speech (maybe drawing similar ones), but hasn't lost since. The Tigers won their last six regular season contests, captured a Western Mass. title with three more victories, and then beat St. Bernard's by 15 points in the Division II state semifinals.
Underachieving no more. Not even close.
-- Jay King
Key players:
Evan Marcus, 5-11 Sr. G (16 points) – Depending when you pay attention during a game, Marcus will either be: shooting a 3-pointer, posting up, doggedly chasing an opponent, quarterbacking the South Hadley offense or slashing to the paint for two. So yes, he provides quite a bit. And yes, at least during the latter stages of the Western Mass. tournament, South Hadley's Mr. Everything wore his hair in a mullet.
T.J. Fitzell, 5-10 Jr. G (11.3 points) – Fitzell's like that bad movie about an underground fight club starring Sean Faris –- he'll Never Back Down. Capable of extended hot streaks, he hit five 3-pointers in the first quarter against St. Bernard's and leads South Hadley with 46 triples on the season.
Avon White, 5-10 Jr. G (10.7 points) – South Hadley's quickest player and best ball-handler, White is adept at breaking down defenses with the dribble.
Anthony Bullough, 6-2 Sr. F (8.2 points) – Though he scored 14 points in the Western Mass. final, Bullough isn't one to post impressive numbers. What he does provide for South Hadley, though: toughness and a bit of length for a team mostly devoid of the latter.
Road through the playoffs
West Round 1: beat Belchertown, 73-51
West Semifinals: beat Sabis, 52-40
West Final: beat Greenfield, 55-49
State Semifinals: beat St. Bernard's, 63-48
School: Brighton
Record: 20-6
Region: North
Boy, do the Bengals have a flair for the dramatic. In Tuesday night's Eastern Mass. Final with Scituate, at TD Garden, Brighton trailed by 11 with four minutes to go, then took the lead with 1.8 seconds left after Malik James scooped up a Nate Hogan deflection and converted a three-point play. James' fourth-quarter effort – 14 of his 21 points, all with four fouls – is something they'll be talking about for years. And yet, it was just the latest episode of one of the most dramatic playoff runs in years, scoring last-second victories in wins over Burlington, Melrose and North Andover en route to that Scituate win.
The Bengals were a heavy favorite over Mahar in last year's state final, but fell behind 17-3 in the first quarter before losing by four. Yet here they are again, supercharged behind James and getting added boost from wing Nick Simpson, who was ruled academically ineligible shortly before last year's playoff run.
Should Brighton win on Saturday, the Bengals would be the first team from Boston Public Schools to win both a Boston City Championship and MIAA State Championship in the same season since 2003. That, of course, was one of Jack O'Brien's five state title squads at Charlestown. The legendary O'Brien is a lifelong mentor to Brighton head coach Hugh Coleman, who was also an assistant on those nationally-ranked Townies squads.
-- Brendan Hall
Key Players:
Malik James, 6-2 Jr. G (21 points, eight assists) – When in his element, simply the best point guard in the MIAA. His 14-point fourth quarter with four fouls at the Garden, punctuated with his steal and game-winning layup, was something of beauty.
Nick Simpson, 6-4 Jr. G (16 points, seven rebounds) – Ruled ineligible shortly before the 2011-12 postseason, some wonder if he could have been the difference in the Mahar game last year.
Prince Unaegbu, 6-6 Jr. C (12 rebounds, seven blocks) – Also a menace as a two-way edge player in football, Unaegbu is the muscle down below. Also the cousin of future UMass defensive end Peter Ngobidi.
Daivon Edwards, 6-0 Sr. G (13 points) – One of the state's best long-distance shooters, has hit 92 three-pointers so far this season. Give him an inch, it will feel like a mile.
Road through the playoffs
North First Round: beat Burlington, 62-60
North Quarterfinal: beat Salem, 82-61
North Semifinal: beat Melrose, 65-62
North Final: beat North Andover, 64-59
Eastern Mass. Final: beat Scituate, 55-52

Posted on 05/21/2003 6:01:14 AM PDT by Interloper
The FBI made secret plans to capture and arrest Osama bin Laden five years ago, long before the terror leader's deadliest plan came to fruition.
Jack Cloonan, a former FBI agent who is now an ABCNEWS consultant, said that federal agents seeking bin Laden had developed a plan to have a plane fly in and attack a compound in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where the terror leader was believed to have been holed up back in 1998 three years before the devastating attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
But when the plan went up the chain of command for approval, it was killed by then-Attorney General Janet Reno.
"They came to the decision that this plan was probably too dangerous, that the loss of life on the ground would have been significant," Cloonan said. There was concern that people around the bin Laden compound would be killed."
The Secret Team
Cloonan was part of a secret team of federal investigators whose sole purpose was to apprehend the terror leader.
Like other agents, he was relishing the idea of nabbing the head of al Qaeda.
"I would have said 'Sheik bin Laden, you are under arrest. You are charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals abroad,' " he said.
Starting in early 1996, a team of FBI and CIA agents was secretly sent to an unmarked office in a nondescript building off the Beltway in Alexandria, Va. It was called Alex Station, and it was the center of a U.S. government operation to capture bin Laden. Cloonan was one of 13 FBI agents from New York who was part of Alex Station.
"We were in the business of trying to find people, track them down," he said.
By early 1998, Alex Station had developed enough information through investigation and informants to get a formal criminal indictment returned against bin Laden, which would still be used if he were captured today.
Cloonan said the agents learned a great deal about al Qaeda's operations and its leaders during this time.
"We can say for the first time, this is who is running al Qaeda, this is the military committee, this is what you do when you join al Qaeda, " Cloonan said. "You raise your right hand and you pledge bayat [swear allegiance] ... to bin Laden."
But Cloonan said they were on more than just a discovery mission.
"There's no sense in getting involved in a case like this and seeking an indictment if you're not going to bring this to a logical conclusion," Cloonan said. "And that logical conclusion for us was the arrest of bin Laden."
The Compound Plan
The plan to capture bin Laden was focused on a compound in Kandahar, the stronghold of the Taliban, the Islamic militia that ruled most of Afghanistan at the time.
"We had information, pretty good information on the particular house where he was," Cloonan said.
Using a desert area outside San Antonio, Texas, similar to the terrain in Afghanistan, the Alex Station team actually practiced the short takeoff and landing that would have been necessary to carry out the mission. A plane was to fly in from Uzbekistan.
"A U.S. plane was to fly in," Cloonan said. "And he [bin Laden] would have been greeted by an FBI agent, who would have said, 'Sheik bin Laden, there is a warrant for your arrest,'" he said.
The former attorney general declined to comment to ABCNEWS' Good Morning America, saying the incident was classified.
Cloonan says Reno's decision to kill the plan was never reopened
Why couldn't the nasty old hag kill THIS one? But NOOOO...terrorists got a free ride while little kids died.
In hindsight, leaving him there was too dangerous, and lead to a real significant loss of life.
If we have any luck at all, these stories will be the undoing of the grifter regime much as the NYT is melting down before our eyes.
No such concern for US Citizens, the real clinton/reno/ snowe legacy.
In a Democrat administration, only Americans and Balkans at the discretion of Europe are allowed to die.
There weren't enough children in the compound to make it worth her while.
A little boy, so much more dangerous to our national security than Osama Ben Laden.
What say you, democrats who elected this scum, twice.
The leftstream media are at it again!
This headline makes it appear as if it was President Bush that called off an attempt to get OBL.
It is only when one reads the article you learn it was a plan FIVE YEARS AGO, when the Unmentionable One was President.
Dispicable media spin.
Typical twisted ABC headline. Makes it sound like this happened just before 9/11, implicating the current administration. It's not until far down in the article that it's clear that this was under Clinton's watch.
No, there's no bias in the "mainstream media"
""...the loss of life on the ground would have been significant," Cloonan said. There was concern that people around the bin Laden compound would be killed..."
Note that Janet Draino wasn't concerned about loss of AMERICAN lives in the raid. Given her propensity for "offing" American citizens, I'm not surprised.
There can be no other explanation for Clinton Admin conduct. They actually thought the world outside the US would worship them and enrich them for all eternity. It looks like Bubba got the goodies while the rest were hung out to dry.
But she had no problem sending in domestic para-military troops into Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Miami.... where American children were in danger.
Janet Reno (Rhino) Only goes after defenseless Women & Chirren..."Operation Showtime" and/or little cuban boys washed-up on our shores & then hands them over to Castros' Goons.
Ouch...good one!... :)
Call me a skeptic. But when did the FBI develop a Special Ops team capable of a mission such as this?
This assignment would require Delta Force or Rangers, not G-men.
The same thing they always say. They will defend Clinton, et.al., to the bitter end --- because they know that it is really themselves they are attempting to defend.
They can run --- but they can't hide. His legacy is their legacy, and they know it. And they can't stand the thought that we know it, too.
They will never give up trying to rehabiltate their legacy by trying to rehab his.
But it won't work. We only know the tip of the iceberg so far, concerning the long-term damage that Clinton and the DemocRATS have done to this country.
I assume that Henry Waxman is calling for an investigation into the cost of this since it's obvious that it had no purpose except to make it look as if the former administration was trying to do something which they had neither the guts, the resolve, nor the integrity to carry out.

By David Cuthbert
Theater writer
The preferred term for trailer homes these days is "manufactured housing." You might say that "The Great American Trailer Park Musical" is "manufactured entertainment, " and you wouldn't be far off the mark.
This off-Broadway trifle tries to be all things to all audiences. It's a silly spoof of an easy target; an attenuated version of a single entendre joke. But sandwiched between comic song send-ups are Country-Western ballads ("You Are the Owner of My Heart") that seemingly want to be taken seriously.
Similarly, the playful raunchiness keeps slipping into gratuitously foul-mouthed lines that seem tacked on in an attempt to be "with it." This particular show would be better off without it. There is no consistency of approach, suggesting a backstage tug-of-war by its creators over which direction the musical would take. It would be preferable as a frisky, fast-paced one-act, a la "Grenadine McGunkle's Double-Wide Christmas, " which is much flimsier than "Trailer Park, " but at least it's all of a piece.
That having been said, director Sean Patterson has given "Trailer Park" a good-looking production and cast it with uniformly excellent performers. The four-piece band led by Jefferson Turner has a great honky-tonk sound and, in its first weekend, the show already was drawing capacity houses at the Westwego Performing Arts Theatre.
Set in Armadillo Acres, a trailer park in Stark, Fla., that provides housing to long-term, low-life residents and even tackier transient trade, the soap opera plot with a redneck twang is set in motion by the arrival of Pippi, a dishy stripper played by Jessie Terrebonne, who brings a wide-eyed cartoon sensibility to her cheerfully slutty role.
Proving that even trash gets picked up, she soon is involved with Norbert, a beer-bellied toll-taker, perhaps because they're both used to dollar bill trade. Norbert's woebegone wife Jeannine has been an agoraphobic since their baby was kidnapped in 1983 and thus can't interfere with her husband's trysting the night away.
Our narrator is leather-lunged Meredith Long as Betty, owner of Armadillo Acres, who forms a Greek chorus with Lin (Morla Gorrondona), whose husband is on Death Row, and Pickles (Carrie Black), who suffers from hysterical pregnancies.
They belt out songs, augment the cast by playing roles such as male patrons at the Kitty Litter Show Palace and move the plot along in amusing fashion, especially Long, who gooses things up as she growls her lyrics. (Long is as clear as a bell, but the rest of the cast should pay special attention to enunciating the lyrics because remember, guys, we're hearing them for the first time.)
More trouble comes a-calling with the appearance of Duke, Pippi's menacing, Magic Marker-sniffing boyfriend, a lunk-headed hunk played by Richard Arnold, happily freed from juvenile parts and, like Terrebonne, stylizing his role in "Looney Tunes" fashion.
Straying hubby Norbert is played and sung with comic brio by Ford Dieth, well-matched with Cammie West, who somehow manages to be both slovenly and appealing as the trailer-bound Jeannine. Their love triangle with Pippi prompts a Jerry Springer dream sequence the audience loved.
Choreographer Lynn Lawrence has great fun with Arnold's "Road Kill" as Duke hits the highway and anything on it, as well as a disco number.
Cameron MacDonnell's ingenious set also takes the cartoon route, and Cecile Casey Covert's costumes are another colorful asset.
Here's the litmus test for "The Great American Trailer Park Musical":
Gorrondona says, "My friends call me Lin, but my real name's Linoleum, because my mama gave birth to me on the kitchen floor."
Did you laugh? Smile?
If so, then this is the show for you.
What: The Jefferson Performing Arts Society presents the off-Broadway musical comedy, music and lyrics by Betsy Kelso, book by David Nehls, directed by Sean Patterson.
Where: Westwego Performing Arts Theatre, 177-A Sala Ave., Westwego.
When: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., through March 9.
Tickets: $12 to $26, optional pre-performance buffet, $15.

Dorothea Wied Blomquist, 50, ex-wife of the Skaneateles man who prosecutors say built a $1.7 million mansion with cash from drug dealing, has pleaded guilty to tax fraud and failing to report a foreign bank account, according to federal prosecutors.
Blomquist is the ex-wife of Charles Blomquist III, 52 of Skaneateles. He recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money-laundering, failure to report foreign bank accounts and tax fraud. As part of his plea deal, he agreed to give up his 6,000-square-foot home on West Lake Road in Skaneateles.
Residents of the town, struck by the home's gaudiness, had taken to calling it "the castle." Blomquist admitted he'd built the home and put money into a Swiss bank account with criminal profits, but he would not concede that the money was from drug dealing.

Here's a package that should share a bunch of special moments.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Time Life have combined to put out a nine-DVD package "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live DVD" features 125 performances and 52 induction speeches that span the quarter-century history of the hall. The final CD in the set is "The Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," which opened the Cleveland museum in 1995.
The package will become available on Oct. 20, with a price tag of $119.96.
It will be available on line here and also here.
All told, it will include more than a day's worth -- yes, that's more than 24 hours -- of footage.

AGAWAM - Green Leaves To Go, the venture of two sisters, specializes in the salads that are the forte of one of them.
"My sister always made these beautiful salads I used to bring into the office," Lois M. Rossi said of her sister, Rose LaFleur, during an interview at their recently opened eatery. "It got to the point where all the girls in the office were eating her salads."
The restaurant, nestled in the rear of the Utopia convenience store at 713 Main St., specializes in six different types of salads as well as some specials. They are priced at $5.95 for a small one and $8.95 for a large one and are billed as being filling enough to be a meal.
They feature lots of caramelized fruit as well as roasted nuts. The New England Fruit Salad consists of caramelized apples and pears on a bed of mixed greens with maple roasted pecans and Vermont cheddar cheese topped with a scoop of homemade cranberry walnut chicken salad.
BUSINESS PROFILEGreen Leaves To Go
- Owners: Lois M. Rossi, Rose LaFleur
- Where: 713 Main St., Agawam
- Hours: Weekdays, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
- For info: Call (413) 786-0444; online, www.greenleavestogo.com
Everything is freshly prepared each day, hence the words "green leaves" in the business name, the sisters said. They also continue the green theme by wearing green polo shirts.
The business, which is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., also offers breakfast and sandwiches as well as hot dogs and hamburgers. The sandwiches, priced at $5.75 to $6.25, are named after streets in the city and range from cheese steaks to Italian cold cuts and veggie burgers. For breakfast, they offer muffins, egg sandwiches and bacon or sausage patties.
Take-out delivery is free, and orders can be picked up later on for supper at the store after the restaurant has closed its doors.
"It has kind of become a gathering place," Rossi, who is married to City Councilor Robert E. Rossi, said of the spot. Although a take-out business, it also has some tables and chairs for people who want to sit down and eat.
The sisters are not strangers to the restaurant business or to working together. In the 1980s, they ran a restaurant called the Blue Star on Union Street in West Springfield. Their current restaurant delivers lots of orders to businesses in West Springfield and Springfield, as well as to some in Agawam.
For Rossi, the eatery has a touch of necessity being the mother of invention. Until about two years ago she was vice president for operations with the Better Business Bureau of Central and Western Massachusetts until she lost her job and decided to work with her sister. LaFleur has been in the restaurant and catering business for many years. Green Leaves To Go also offers catering services.

The cameras panned over to the San Francisco 49ers' bench as the confetti fell and Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens celebrated their Super Bowl XLVII victory on the field. The camera captured an image of a dejected 49ers player staring out at the field while confetti and streamers from the Ravens' celebration fell on him.
The player they showed was former Penn State linebacker NaVorro Bowman who played in his first Super Bowl. Bowman didn't have his finest game of his career, though he finished second on the team in tackles. However, with Lewis retiring, Bowman and teammate Patrick Willis are expected to continue being two of the best in the league at their positions.
But Sunday night none of that mattered to Bowman, and rightfully so.
Apparently the Raven's postgame celebration became so noisy in the shared media room afterward that Bowman, who only had a curtain separating himself from Lewis the joyous Ravens, nearly walked out.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that while Lewis was shouting "We did it!" an emotional Bowman heard the cheers, paused, stood up and was ready to leave the room.
"You all might as well interview them, man," Bowman said. "They won. Can't do no interview with this noise."
However, he returned to finish the interview, a gesture San Francisco media members described as "classy."
Right now the only video on the web of Bowman's postgame news conference comes from a CSN Bay Area broadcast, though it's a video taken by a fan and the audio quality isn't great. Bowman stands up about 30 seconds in and takes a few steps toward the door before returning to his seat at the microphone.
If you turn the volume all the way up you can hear some of Lewis' celebratory shouting in the background. Surely CSN Bay Area will either post the video on its site or it will surface somewhere in the coming days.

Damian Prince of Bishop McNamara (Forestville, Md.), a five-star prospect according to both Rivals.com and 247Sports.com, is one of the top offensive linemen in the country. He finished the 2012 season with 92 pancake blocks and no sacks allowed, yet is thought to have only reached the tip of the iceberg in regards to his potential.
The 6-5, 295-pounder sent shock waves through the Rutgers fan base when he took an
unofficial visit to Rutgers for their game against Syracuse, last October. He then followed that up with another visit to Rutgers during a Russell Athletic Bowl practice, last December.
Prince has spoken highly of the Scarlet Knights when interviewed by the multiple recruiting services across the country, including Rivals.com. But he has recently gone underground, not making the media as aware of his collegiate intentions.
Either way, it's a safe bet that Prince will have an official document faxed to him from Rutgers on the morning of National Letter of Intent Day in 2014. How could he not? Prince flashes NFL-type ability, something likely to become more of the norm now that he has cut down his frame from somewhere in the realm of 340 pounds to a svelte 295.
His ability to bend as well as slide his feet have since been increased witnessed by his recent performances at the Nike Football Training Camp as well as Rivals Camp Series; two events he dominated this spring. Prince gets the job done both with brute force as well as finesse, making him a top candidate to become an elite left tackle prospect on the collegiate level.
According to ESPN, Prince has Rutgers, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Maryland and Ohio State as the teams at the top of his leader board. Rutgers got off to a good start with Prince, but according to an unnamed source, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida State Seminoles have really come on over the past couple months. The two teams are thought to be Rutgers' greatest hurdles in adding the talented offensive prospect.
NJ.com has confirmed that Prince is slated to visit Alabama during the month of July, when the mutual interest of the two parties will be further assessed. The Crimson Tide, so far, has only taken a commitment from one offensive lineman in the class of 2014 in Centennial (Corona, Ca.) offensive guard, Viane Talamaivao.
Yet, they are looking to reload up front after losing three starters from their 2012 national championship team while left tackle, Cyrus Kouandjio, is expected to be a top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Other unofficial visit dates have yet to be confirmed but Florida State is a team thought to possibly receive one, as well.
However, there are multiple teams across the country that the Scarlet Knights will have to compete with to attain Prince's services. Prince was expected to take a visit to Rutgers campus for the Scarlet-White game, yet ended up only attending a spring game at the University of Maryland, this spring.
But Rutgers is still thought to be in a positive position with Prince due to the numerous coaches with offensive line experience on staff, Rutgers' ever-evolving track record for sending offensive linemen to the NFL, as well as Prince's relationship with former Bishop McNamara star and current Scarlet Knight, Brandon Coleman.
Prince plans to narrow down his list of 40-plus offers to 10 sometime during the month of July. And he'll make his final decision on National Signing Day of 2014, after taking all five of his official visits to schools he has yet to officially announce. Stay with NJ.com as the Scarlet Knights continue to embark upon their battle to attain Damian Prince.

In a rare display of unity in a uniquely decentralized school system, every one of New Orleans' nearly 90 public schools will be closed Tuesday due to forecasts of sleet, ice and snow in southern Louisiana -- whether traditional or charter, and no matter which of the city's districts they're in.
The decision was made jointly by the city's two school systems: the local Orleans Parish School Board and the state Recovery School District.
Also closed will be the few schools that are authorized directly by the state: Lycee Francais, the International School of Louisiana (all campuses), International High School, the New Orleans Military/Maritime Academy and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts.
The New Beginnings charter group has canceled its Monday board meeting.
School Board and Recovery School District administrators are holding off on making decisions about Wednesday classes. However, they say schools will likely remain closed due to icy roads.
The International School and the Friends of King charter group have already decided to stay closed through Wednesday.
New Orleans Archdiocese schools will be closed as well, since the Catholic schools administrators follow the Recovery School District's decision.

As usual it has been an interesting week for the Montreal Canadiens and their fans. And also as usual every goal, every line change, every benching and (new this week) every arrest, has been fiercely debated. In case you haven't had the time to read all of the great posts by Habs Inside/Out members, here is a short selection of some of the best from the past 7 days.
Some of the comments have been edited for length.
Le Gros Bill is the classiest, most humble, and without a doubt the most professional player to ever wear the Canadiens jersey. Everything he did both on and off the ice reflects core values that are sadly lacking in today's society – love of family, love of life and an authentic love for all aspects of the game that provided him with his livelihood. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Beliveau… Happy Valentine's Day!

To Mr. Stubbs,
Wonderful in-depth interview with the best player the Habs have right now. Last year, AK27 drove me crazy: all the talent, so little effort. This season, he's made me eat crow from the start. Too bad more players can't take a long walk with Gainey and get their attitude and fierce pride straightened out. What a team we'd have then!
-Submitted by G-Man
Habs-Kat – Adding to your comment about a third line center. I wonder if we would be better off trying to get a (signed) center who will stay in Montreal for a few years rather than just going for a rental. Otherwise, we will face the same dilemma next year. Lapierre could move to the wing next year and Chipchura could take the fourth spot. Outside of those guys, there's really no one in the system who is ready to fill this need. I'd love to trade for someone who has size and grit and isn't afraid to get his nose dirty. It would cost more than a rental, but it would also address more than one need. If that's not possible, then we should checkout the free agent market this summer. Not all the fish have to be big fish.

Here is a list off the top off my head of names that the Habs were rumored to be interested in for the last couple years, not including Tanguay because I don't believe there ever was any interest in him for Kovalev:
Gagner: 18 points in 24 games, -7. Just suffered 2nd concussion of the season.
Briere: 52 points in 54 games, -18. Yikes!
Kariya: 47 points in 53 games, -4.
Hossa: 49 points in 55 games, -14. Still think he is attractive?
Shanahan: 32 points in 51 games. Currently injured.
Gomez: 54 points in 58 games, +3.
Smyth: 28 points in 36 games, -5. Injured for a while now.
Souray: You know this one.
Drury: 39 points in 58 games, -12.

[Huet] is a UFA and he is going to want a 3 year deal minimum somewhere around 12 million. We don't need him for nearly that long and that money can be spent on a high profile forward or for our core players. Don't get me wrong, I like Huet but I feel we don't need him much after this season. This is Huet's one chance to get that retirement contract, does anyone think he is going to accept anything less?

Canadiens have a huge luxury right now, they have two goalies who are capable of winning games in the NHL. Down one goal knowing that he could not afford to let in another, Carey Price did what a goalie is supposed to do. He kept his team in the game and gave them a chance to win. Don't know if it qualifies as stealing a game but it was a very solid performance.
Higgins looks to be emerging from his slump, scoring goals in each of the last two games. Shows what happens when a coach has faith in his players. Higgins was struggling as badly as a certain someonoe but the coach had enough faith in him to leave him alone and work through his problems.
Without a doubt Ryder's days are done in Montreal. Even slumping he is much better than a lot of the players who dress on the third and fourth lines. With him on the Koivu line and Sergei back leading the Kid Line, I think this team is much better than it is with Ryder sitting in the press box.
