President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed on Saturday toured the new frontlines in Mogadishu's Hodan district seized yesterday by the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) forces amid tight security for fear of a reprisal attack from al-Shabaab insurgents.
The president, dressed in full combat gear, was accompanied by Defense Minister Abdihakim Hajji Fiqi and the State Minister in the office of the President, Abdikadir Maalim Noor, as they toured all the bases seized yesterday.
President Sharif arrived in Hodan in an AMISOM vehicle and was welcomed by the Burundi contingent which controls the area.
"I congratulate these commendable men who are doing all their best to see Somalia free from al-Shabaab control," said the president. "These men have done a commendable job and it is clear to the whole world that the AMISOM forces are progressing and I commend this improvement."
The president and his delegation toured the newly acquired African Village buildings, Sheikh Ali Suffi mosque, as well as the 'Tarabunka' (a meeting point for the former government officials of the 1991 collapsed Siad Barre regime). He last visited the building in December 2006 when his group, the Islamic Courts Union, came under attack from the Ethiopian forces.
The president called on the Somali people to come out in large numbers and support the forces initiative and help in eliminating the enemy of the people.
"You can see clearly the progress made in the offensive that we launched in March and it is now clear that the forces are ready for Somalia re-liberation," he said.
President Sharif also praised the Somali national forces on their consecutive victories in southern parts of the country and inside the capital.
"We are congratulating Somali National forces And African Union Peace keeping forces on their continues victories over the war, day after day. I'm sending condolence messages to relatives of dead soldiers among government forces and I'm begging Allah for a quick recovery the injured soldiers," said the president.
"The fight will be continue until we will remove terrorist group of al-shabaab and their foreign allies. We are urging the government soldiers to keep discipline and not harm civilians living the city," urged the president.
"Thanks to Allah, as you see this is Sheikh Ali Sufi Mosque where the terrorists were controlling the last two years, but now AMISOM and TFG forces seized it yesterday," he said.
President's Tour a Morale Booster for Troops
Somali Military Commander Abdikarim Yusu Adan "Degabadaan" said that the presence of the Somali president on the frontlines has boosted the morale of the troops who are on the verge of retaking the total control of Bakara Market, in an interview with Somalia Report.
"His presence in the Hodan and Howlwadag is a clear sign that the president is a true national hero. The forces are ready to fight now more than ever after the latest successful offensives," said General Degabadan.
The general also explained that plans are underway to restore business in Bakara Market.
"The Defense Minister, the National Security Minister and I met with the business community of Bakara Market and planned the way forward but I can't reveal the details because they are critical at this stage," explained General Degabadan told Somalia Report correspondent in Mogadishu.
The general confirmed to Somalia Report that he lost seven men in the offensive and three others are nursing bullet wounds.
This is the third time Somali president has joined frontlines in less than a month. His previous visit was to see the military bases captured from al-shabaab in Warshadaha Street last month.
TFG Taking Control of Mogadishu
Somali troops have made a significant development in the latest clashes in Mogadishu and are currently controlling 13 out of 16 districts in the capital, Somali Minister of Information Abdukarim Jama said during a press conference at the Somali Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya on Friday.
"Government forces have control of most of the neighborhoods of the Bakara Market, with three of four sides of the market under their direct control," Jama said.
Jama explained that government is undertaking a maximum effort to minimize civilian casualties in the war zones.
"So far we have been successful in not allowing the entrance of many people in Bakara market, which will help to endure that so that there is no unexpected outcome from collateral damage should more fighting break out," the minister added.
He claimed that government forces, backed by AMISOM troops, have been made a significant progress towards the fighting against the al Qaeda inspired group al-Shabaab.
"We have information that, increasingly, al-Shabaab are moving their assets, men and equipment out of Mogadishu and even other localities near the capital," Jama noted.

While the Crescent City lulls itself into the post-Carnival quietude of Lent, one aspect of the community is getting ready to burst into action — real estate.
Spring has always been a busy season for the buying and selling of homes.
After the cold days and long nights of winter, buyers go forth with a desire to make a change. What better change than buying a new home?
Realtors are elated at the early signs that spring will be hopping when it comes to the local market.
A number of factors are merging at this season to make this a time to get busy and get buying.
Two signs are pointing the way to an increase in market movement.
"Spring is an excellent time to buy a home — especially now," said Ashley Nguyen of PRUDENTIAL GARDNER, Realtors. "Recently, (interest) rates have gone down and people are getting their tax refunds. This is the busy time of the year."
In addition to favorable rates and the boost of tax returns for many home buyers, there are also monetary programs to help buyers (particularly first-time buyers) in several of the local parishes. These programs, which can be detailed and explained by local lenders, can help make the reality of home ownership happen for many people in the metro area.
Another plus for buyers is the selection. Real estate professionals familiar with the neighborhoods of South Louisiana note buyers have many options from which to choose in several of the region's most popular districts.
As the days get longer, the time springs forward and the temperatures take a turn upward, home sellers are taking advantage of the extra daylight to make homes as appealing as possible.
This step can be critical for buyers. One local property guru recounted tales of buyers who bypassed homes in the winter only to purchase them in the spring when nature (and an industrious seller) had put on a fresh look to the lawn and garden.
"Everybody can make everything look fresh, nice and clean," said Mary Shulte of LATTER & BLUM, Inc., Realtors. She noted many buyers, who have been cooped up for the winter months, will get out in the spring a make a decision regarding the purchase of a home.
Spring, she said, "forces them out of the house" and prompts them to "make that decision when the houses are clean, nice and the flowers are blooming."
Sellers can also note that spring also brings out more of the "serious" buyers, purchasers who are intent on getting a home.
Buyers also have the extra push of having fresh properties on the market.
Many sellers, particularly in this area, forestall putting their home on the market until after the holidays, which usually includes Carnival. This extended season, plus unpredictable weather, has created a longer winter slumber than usual.
Another incentive is the coming summer, the next season on the calendar. But with summer comes the end of school, a good time to move families if necessary and make job transfers.
Also, there is an increase in the number of open houses (see below) that afford buyers and sellers more opportunity for exposure to more homes.
But buyers should look for things to get active.
"In this city, things go by our calendar here. Right after Carnival, things pick up," said JoAnn Centanni of COLDWELL BANKER TEC Realtors. "This is the time."

The LHSAA Executive Committee denied an appeal Wednesday from McDonogh 35 during its fall meeting after the school used an ineligible player in its 36-0 Week 2 defeat of Lutcher.
Officials ejected Trayon Sanders from the Roneagles' season opener against St. Augustine following a fight in which two Purple Knights players also were ejected, making them each ineligible for their respective subsequent games.
Both St. Augustine players sat out subsequent contests — Ishman Clarke during a 33-24 loss to Karr and Jermaine Roberts during a 40-27 defeat of Covington. Roberts played against Karr, and had the Purple Knights won, they would have had to forfeit the game.
Sanders participated in the Week 2 victory against the Bulldogs, which the Executive Committee found the Roneagles must forfeit as a result.
Three other appeals of rulings regarding player penalties or eligibility also fell unsuccessful.
The Executive Committee ruled J.S. Clark senior David Jones must sit out this football season after playing the 2012 campaign despite being subject to a year of ineligibility at that time following his transfer from Karr.
Current Karr junior Njyjer Refuge must sit out until January following transfer from Helen Cox, and Northside sophomore Demarcus Lee will also remain ineligible until January after his own transfer.

France 25 Ireland 18
Ireland captain Fiona Coghlan hailed her team as an "amazing bunch" after a historic fourth-place finish at the Women's Rugby World Cup in France.
Philip's Doyle's side lost out to the hosts in the play-off game in Paris, 25-18.
Ireland led 15-10, with tries from Niamh Briggs and Grace Davitt, at the break but France rallied in the second half to claim third place.
Speaking about their tournament after the game, Coghlan said: "We knew coming into it we were good enough to be to be top four so to get there, beating New Zealand long the way, was obviously amazing but this isn't how you want to finish.
"You get to the business end of the season, you lose two games and that's disappointing.
"Particularly after the first half I thought we played really well, second half, we coughed up a little too much ball and to give away a cheap penalty at scrum time isn't good enough.
"The girls are an amazing bunch, we're just a little bit disappointed now with the finish."
Meanwhile, Ireland's semi-final conquerors England lifted the World Cup trophy after beating Canada 21-9 in this evening's final.
England's triumph comes 20 years and three final defeats since their first World Cup triumph.
Canada wing Magali Harvey was tonight named the IRB Women's Player of the Year for 2014, the first Canadian to win the prestigious award.
Harvey took the award over the other three nominees - Ireland full-back Briggs, Kelly Russell of Canada and France's Safi N'Diaye.
Beaten but unbowed. @CoghlanFiona & the squad can hold their heads high. Welcome them home at 4:30 approx on Monday in @DublinAirport— Irish Rugby (@IrishRugby) August 17, 2014

Tom Izzo does not want to watch last year's national championship game.
"I won't use it at all, personally," the Michigan State coach said Saturday night. "We got beat by 100, I think. Maybe it ended up being 20, but it was close to 100."
He was referring, of course, to last year's NCAA title game matchup against North Carolina. In the books, it has gone down officially as an 89-72 defeat, but to Izzo and his Michigan State players, it might as well have been 89-0. Natural inclination might seem to say that in preparation for Tuesday night's rematch with No. 11 North Carolina, Izzo would pop the tape in for motivation.
The chances of that happening are about the same as a time machine being invented to go back and lock Tyler Hansbrough in the Tar Heel locker room before the title game.
Zero and negative-zero.
"They're a different team, we're a different team in some ways," Izzo said. "I think it's going to come down to our guard play — I think we have a little more depth there — but they have a lot more trees. And they're tall trees."
When No. 9 Michigan State faces Carolina at 9 p.m. as part of the Big 10/ACC Challenge — in Chapel Hill no less — the Spartans will have to put last year's title loss clear out of their minds.
There is no more Hansbrough. No more Wayne Ellington. No more Ty Lawson. Just Michigan State and North Carolina — this year's versions.
"We're going to have to use a lot of bodies because they bring in a lot of bodies," Izzo said. "We're going to have to work hard in practice and yet get some rest, because it's not going to be an easy turnaround."
1. Florida will be a constant Top 25 team this year.
There's a lot to like about the way the Gators play: they're big, physical, athletic and they can score with anybody. Florida is also one of the best conditioned teams I've seen this season and it showed when they ran a pesky Rutgers squad out of Boardwalk Hall in the second half Saturday night in the Legends Classic finale. It would have been easy for Billy Donovan's team to call it a weekend and enjoy Atlantic City after upsetting No. 2 Michigan State Friday night, but Florida was anything but. If freshman guard Kenny Boynton — who's a scoring dynamo, by the way — continues to play like he has, I would be shocked if this team doesn't make it to the Sweet 16 in March.
2. Michigan State will be fine.
Well, duh, right? The Spartans were quite impressive to watch in person this weekend, even though they suffered a loss in their first game of the Legends Classic. Consider that just a minor hiccup in the road. The Spartans did what every good team does after a loss: they pound the next team. Tom Izzo had his team clicking on all cylinders the next night in a near-40-point win over UMass. Once Raymar Morgan is completely healthy for this team, Michigan State will be a game no one wants to see pop up on their schedule.
3. The Legends Classic may have found a home in A.C.
After two disappointing showings at the Prudential Center in Newark, the Legends Classic relocated to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City this year. With bigger crowds, and outside walk-ups, the tournament might be long for Atlantic City. Now, this year's tournament was clearly helped by the presence of No. 2 Michigan State and local flavor, Rutgers, but the destination proved to be a more desirable locale because there's much more to do and its much easier to stay in Atlantic City than Newark. Plus, Boardwalk Hall — while still a hodgepodge basketball staging arena in some respects — is much more suited to the tournament.
There always plenty of college basketball on my plate, so here's where you'll be able to spot me this week:
Thursday: Rutgers vs. Princeton, RAC
Sunday: Rutgers vs. Colgate, RAC
Monday: Seton Hall vs. UMass, Prudential Center
1. What's up with Greg Echenique?
Fouled out with eight minutes left against UMass Friday, then didn't score against Florida.
2. Where is Princeton headed?
Some were expecting a turnaround year for Sydney Johnson and the Tigers, but they've been waxed by Cal and were beaten by Army.
3. Can UMass give Seton Hall a game?
When Rutgers went to sleep in the second half Friday, Derek Kellogg's bunch climbed into it.

WATCH: Nutso Lady Recites Strangely Entrancing Homophobic Poetry At NE Hearing
The Nebraska-based blog Aksarbent has turned us on to this old lady, who recites a homophobic Druid chant at a hearing on a LGBT-protections ordinance proposed in the Cornhusker State.
Witness the lyrical genius of this nutbag, one Jane Skrovota:
"P- E- N- I- S goes into the anus to rupture intestines. The more a man does this the more he'll be a fatality or a homicider…"
"A huge percent of gay men in school grounds molest boys, partly because they don't have AIDS yet…"
"Hillary Clinton's roommate four years in college was a gay woman. To avoid going gay like Clinton did, college students need single rooms and single gender dorms… A college woman is seduced with illegal Rohypnol to go gay."
"Candida fungus grows hugely on a corpse. AIDS is a candida fungus disease…"
"Roman senators went to Roman baths to be promiscuous gays, bis, and orgiers then went to the Coliseum to watch Christians get mauled and perish. Do gays become this sadistic? Yes. They cuss after coupling, don't like the land they lay on, and 80% of those that did treason by the year 2000 are gays."
"Gays can transform to be celibate to live to be 80 years old."
"Read the book Nijinsky to understand that bisexuals always become insane."
"A wedding dress is for a woman not a man."
"Jesus was kissed by Judas, a homo, who tried to sabotage Jesus' kind ideas. Do you choose Jesus, a celibate, or Judas, a homo? You have to choose!"
Please, someone nominate her for Poet Laureate of the Anti-Gay Nation. Note that her odd syntax and improper use of words (homicider, etc.) is intentional and part of her poetic license.
I like her.
Michele Bachmann has certainly aged quickly in the past couple of months.
Single gender dorms to prevent college students from "going gay"? What a brilliant idea!
NOM's base in action.
She can't say penis? She has to spell it? It's not a dirty word, it's the proper terminology.
Also couldn't stop looking at the dude in the background, he was the only one freaking out.
"Delusional" doesn't begin to cover it.
I loved the guy in the background…he was so animated. I think most of the gays were across the aisle from him
We've had a fan page dedicated to her on Facebook for a while because everyone on the UNL campus loves to hear her rants. Come check it out http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crazy-Blue-Protesting-Lady/195270517151500
@Red Meat: i do too for some odd reason. she seems fun
and that hat is fabulous
@Jabaroo: You are absolutely right, Jabaroo. Penis is the proper word:
@loafersguy: Very educational.
The incarnation of Edna Welthorpe, (Mrs)
Holy smokes!!! That was one long and EXTREMELY crazy stream of consciousness. PLEASE tell me someone is currently in the process of autotuning this!!
How is faggot formed? How anus get praegnant?
@Jabaroo: Even funnier is how she can't say "penis", but is perfectly happy to say things like "anus licking".
I do have one request – if anyone can find out what she's smoking/taking, let me know 'cos I really want to get stoned and have an epic trip on my birthday. And given her behaviour, she's clearly tripping big time.
And the guy behind her is comedy gold. Epic number of epic facepalms and I lost track of the "What the F***S?!"
someone needs to put a penis up her anus and rupture her intestines
I think GOProud should make her an honorary member.
Mink Stole should play her in the Lifetime tv adaptation of her story, she'd kill it. Oh, and for the record, if Judas is even remotely like Norman Reedus as depicted in Gaga's video I chose homo, I mean you have to chose! P.S. I 'd like to send a shot out to all my boys out there, you know, the "homiciders".
Someone has taken this woman's rant and redone it in the form of a dramatic reading:
@Red Meat: Likewise. People like her make me feel so intelligent and blessed.
I'm reciting this word for word as performance art.
Jane Svoboda, actual corrected name, is reported in the Omaha paper Saturday as an unmedicated schizophrenic, living in assisted living facility (according to her brother). She was previously in the news in 2007 as interrupting Obama at an Omaha town hall.
She's a schizophrenic. What's the other wacko's like Bryan Fisher And Santorum's excuse? They're nuts without being poetic.
You all have it wrong.
She is simply reciting FoxNews comments from the Obama Says Yes to Gay-Marriage story.
Damn, that bitch could give Professor Pyg a run for his money in the crazy dept!
I wish to thank this woman. With enemies like this, how can we loose?
It would seem that her family has been complaining about how the video of her tirade has gone viral on youtube and whatnot.
her brother has the nerve to a accuse those who posted the video.
I say, I accuse the brother of not reining in his own sister. if you knew she was schizophrenic and prone to these insane public outbursts, then it's YOUR responsibility to make sure she doesn't end up in front of a public hearing on a contentious issue. If you can't manage that, then don't complain when her rantings become evening news.
I've enjoyed all of your clever comments and got a huge kick out of this story, however, I had not realized that this lady is schizophrenic. I just thought she was another Nancy "wiggle" Elliott of the New Hampshire fold coming out for her 15 minutes o' fame. I can see why her brother would be bothered by this vid going viral. Our community has been hurt and slandered by the Nancy Elliotts and Maggie Gallaghers of the world for so long now that it's not unusual to hear rants such as this and not think it's their "normal." Sorry, brother-of-schizophrenic-lady-whose-homophobic-rant-went-viral, we thought she was another NOMster.

Oswego, NY -- Pupils, parents and staff at Frederick Leighton Elementary School beautified the school grounds recently by planting some bulbs.
Mary Pryor, of the Leighton Home and School Association said the spring bulb planting was organized by parents, Inna Loayza.
The ground was prepared and the kids each placed a flower bulb in a narrow trench that had been dug. They then covered the bulbs with dirt.
"It was a great job by everyone. I am so, so proud of our work together," said Loayza. "It was not easy for teachers to organize every class to come out and plant, but the students were so well behaved. I hope the bulbs grow to be beautiful Spring flowers to make us all smile some more."
Principal Julie Burger said the entire school community "will share in the joy of their creation this coming spring.".
Also helping with the event were the Rainbow Garden Committee, Lowe's of Oswego and Ontario Orchards.

Rarely is it so appropriate.
Friday's dinner to honor Rachel Bristol's retirement after 29 years leading the Oregon Food Bank symbolized literally tens of millions of other dinners, distributed over decades to Oregon families who had run out of other options. Bristol's monument was built in hundreds of church basements, out of family-size cans of chili and boxes of macaroni collected in countless food drives.
Over decades, the Oregon Food Bank has become one of the state's leading brands, with local contributors, volunteers and businesses in active support. Distributing the fourth-largest amount of food in the country -- out of 202f ood banks -- the OFB is a point of Oregon pride, a marker of our sense of obligation toward one another.
The Oregon Food Bank didn't even exist in 1983, when Bristol became a Vista volunteer for Oregon Food Share, which later merged with another group to create OFB. Since then, the food bank has connected with hundreds of local client agencies, built one of the nation's state-of-the-art warehouse/headquarters in Northeast Portland, and determinedly created a network that reaches and feeds the farthest corners of Oregon.
Moreover, the food bank has developed into an influential policy advocate, bringing the credibility it has built over years of food drives and increasing statewide support to the state Capitol. For both fundraising and policy debates, Oregon Food Bank has assembled an enviable corporate coalition, and its agricultural alliances nourish both consumers and growers. An effort focused on hunger, it has attracted powerful and enthusiastic support from Oregon's chefs, drawing along their constituency of the best-fed people in Oregon.
The advocacy has been not just for food, but increasingly for healthy food, driven by farmers' contributions of produce and food bank classes in how to use it. Under Bristol, the food bank was concerned not only with Oregonians who had nothing to eat, but also with those trying to fill their stomachs with low-nutrition packaged ramen.
To Bristol, OFB's explosive growth -- last year, the food bank and its client agencies distributed more than 1 million emergency food boxes -- is not entirely cause for celebration; it's a sign that Oregon is getting hungrier. Ideally, emergency food boxes would be virtually unnecessary. When Bristol went to work for Oregon Food Share in 1983, in the midst of another bone-shaking recession, she thought that goal -- not a burgeoning statewide structure -- was the real objective.
We're nowhere near that. But Bristol's career, and the Oregon Food Bank she has done so much to build, loudly send the message she declared to the group gathered to honor her: "Hunger is wrong. And it's solvable."
It's an understandable food bank position. It's a testament to Bristol's achievement that it's now so widely held an Oregon position.

Pat Metheny Unity Band: Denver, CO, September 7, 2012
Botanic Gardens
Denver, CO
September 7, 2012
Pat Metheny is restless. And we're all the richer for it. Over a career that is now pushing 40 years, Metheny has been a constant innovator, not only in the development of musical styles, but new sounds as well, going so far as to invent new musical instruments to help him push, and sometimes explode, sonic boundaries. Now on tour with his Unity Band, Metheny showcased many of his discoveries and inventions at Denver's Botanic Gardens.
The Unity Band marks the first time Metheny has had a tenor saxophonist in his own band in over 30 years. The last time was when he recorded 80/81 (ECM, 1980), with Michael Brecker and Dewey Redman (as well as bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jack DeJohnette). Since that time, he has consorted with other tenor saxophonists, but always as a sideman. A few of those appearances include Wish (Warner Bros., 1992), with Redman's son Joshua Redman and Tales from the Hudson (Impulse!, 1996), with Brecker. This time around, he has Chris Potter on tenor and soprano saxophones, as well as bass clarinet, with a band rounded out by drummer Antonio Sanchez and bassist Ben Williams.
It's been seven years since the last Pat Metheny album, The Way Up (Nonesuch, 2005). Metheny has always bounced back and forth between the Groupby far his most popular formatand his various solo projects, but this hiatus is the longest there's ever been. PMG's soaring melodies and accessible rhythms are real crowd pleasers, but its music is also intricate, and even to hardcore music fans, interesting and often surprising. Metheny's solo projects, on the other hand, can yield music that is much more challenging and esoteric. Again, 80/81 is an example, with some serious hard bop and flirtations with the avant-garde. One of the more extreme examples is his Ornette Coleman collaboration, Song X (Nonesuch, 1985). He has also recorded a number of true solo albums such as New Chautauqua (ECM, 1979) and One Quiet Night (Nonesuch, 2003). Other albums without PMG come close to the Group's sound, such as Secret Story (Nonesuch, 1992). In other words, there's no telling what Metheny will come up with next.
The Unity Bandboth in concert and on its eponymous 2012 Nonesuch debutcomes closer to a PMG sound than many other Metheny solo projects. Much of the material emphasizes melody, and creating an atmosphere, more than drag strip speed and intensity. Friday night's concert began with "Come and See," a good example of the PMG-type sound, with a catchy, repetitive bass line setting a mood with a nice melody on top. However, the tune (and the concert) began first with an introduction by Metheny, playing his custom-made Pikasso 42-string guitar, which he first introduced on PMG's Quaret (Warner Bros., 1996). The guitar has two necks and four sets of strings, some of which criss-cross the body. Metheny played bass notes, with the fingers of his left hand hitting the fret board of the longer neck. Because his left hand was occupied, he plucked the remaining strings with the fingers of his right hand and had to select the strings already tuned to the notes he wanted to playjust like a harp. Following the intro, he switched to his more common blonde Ibenez hollow-body electric guitar. He had at least two of these, and they were his primary guitars throughout the evening.
"Roofdogs," another selection from Unity Band, featured Metheny's synth guitar, which goes back even further to PMG's Offramp (ECM, 1982). The new material continued with "New Year," Unity Band's lead-off track. A couple more quartet pieces followed, including one with a relaxed melody, and another from the school of hard bop. Then, digging deep once again, Metheny pulled out "First Folk Song," 80/81. This version was much shorter than original, but it nonetheless hit the highlights of the song. Next up was an Orchestrion piece.
In 2010, Pat Metheny released Orchestrion (Nonesuch). The Orchestrion is actually an elaborate, automated musical instrument that Metheny conceived and had built. Metheny said he got his inspiration from ancient player pianos, but he took the concept light years beyond the days of piano scrolls and ragtime. For instance, Orchestrion describes "Orchestronics" as "pianos, marimba, vibraphone, orchestra bells, basses, guitarbots, percussion, cymbals and drums, blown bottles, and other custom fabricated acoustic mechanical instruments." He took the entire contraption on the road and it filled whole stages, reaching 15 to 20 feet above the floor. He set up loops with synthesizers and computers, MIDI's the mechanical instruments into his guitars and stood in the middle of the whole thing and created music quite unlike anything heard before.

When 14-year-old New Orleans native David Bologna takes a seat among the nominees at the 63rd annual Tony Awards tonight, only his father and older brother will sit next to him. His mother, Holly, will have to settle for a seat in the Radio City Music Hall nosebleed section.
She says she doesn't mind. As a nominee, David got three tickets in the orchestra section; an extra ticket would have cost $900, and the family couldn't afford it. Holly has been at her youngest son's side in New York since last June, and she said David wanted his father, Rick, and big brother, Ben -- who have been back home in Austin, Texas, where the family relocated after Hurricane Katrina -- to share his special night.
The road to a dream, you see, is all about sacrifice. And regardless of whether David takes home Broadway's biggest prize, the entire Bologna family can take a bow for the years of give and take that have led them to New York City tonight.
It was a phone call last April that split the family in half. David had tried out in Dallas for the lead in the Broadway production of "Billy Elliot," a musical based on the 2000 film about the son of an English coal miner who longs to pirouette his way out of his dreary village into the joyful world of dance.
David didn't get the part of Billy, which required ballet skills David did not have, but he was asked to play the part of Michael, Billy's cross-dressing friend.
Rick works at the Catholic Diocese of Austin, and Ben attends the University of Texas in Arlington. A geographical separation for the family was inevitable if David were to pursue this golden opportunity in New York.
"The only way it would work was if it were a family effort," Holly said by phone from New York.
Since there is a seven-year difference in the brothers' ages, the opportunity came at a good time. Ben, now 21, already had started his college life, excelling in visual arts and design.
"I don't know how parents do it when their children are close in age," Holly said.
Thanks to technology, talent and tenacity, the world was made smaller as the family made its boundaries bigger. They text; they e-mail; they videoconference via Skype.
It was a cell phone call from Rick on May 5 that broke the news of the Tony nomination to Holly and David, who were standing in Times Square that Tuesday morning waiting for the news to flash across a malfunctioning Jumbotron TV screen.
David's nomination was one of 15 the musical received, more than any other theater production this year.
While family members have seen as many of the "Billy Elliot" performances at the Imperial Theatre as they can afford, at $126.50 per ticket, that particular perk is rare.
Even the right to be a stage mother no longer is an option.
"I drop David off at the stage door for rehearsals," Holly said. "We're not allowed to go in."
Money is an ongoing concern. Holly works part-time in New York as an accounts receivable clerk while David is at rehearsals or being tutored. The couple took out a second mortgage on the house back in Austin to help finance the temporary digs in New York.
"We've never chased money," Rick said. The family is simply on a quest to follow a dream.
On the night of the Tonys, all three Bologna men will wear rented tuxedos, but the nominee has promised to set himself apart with his trademark flashes of color.
The Bolognas hold tight to tradition in the midst of Tony hoopla; their Saturday plans included attending church at St. Malachy's in the theater district, after David's performance of "Billy Elliot." The backup plan was to attend Mass this morning at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. By 5:45 this afternoon, David has to be ready for the Red Carpet.
Rick said his son already is a winner.
"The win was when David was nominated. Whatever happens (tonight) is lagniappe," he said. "That's what I told my friends in Texas, and then I had to explain to them what 'lagniappe' meant.
"This nomination came out of the blue. The role of Michael was never nominated in London or in Sydney, Australia. David brought this role to life."
David shares the role of Michael with Frank Dolce from New Jersey (who did not receive a Tony nomination). Each brings his own interpretation to the part. The New York Post described Dolce as the "brash, wise-cracking kid from Jersey" and Bologna as the Katrina refugee who is "thoughtful, almost shy."
Rick measures his son's success by the fan names on the e-mail list that has grown over the years.
"That list started in New Orleans seven years ago when people saw David perform and told me to let them know when he does something else," he said. The list has grown from a few to more than a thousand. The family has set up a "David Bologna Tony Party" Facebook page for fans and friends to share their thoughts while watching the ceremony tonight.
"The fun part is that everyone is living the joy vicariously," he said. "There are so many people along for the ride. It's like a Mardi Gras float."
But like any parade, David's route has had its stops and starts. Although David cut his teeth on New Orleans theater, making his debut at age 6 in a school play and continuing to evolve on the local stages of New Orleans, Katrina temporarily dampened his desire to act. But the international Irish dance champion continued to dance. In time, he gravitated back to the stage with an Austin children's theater company called KidsActing.
"It doesn't matter where you are, as long as your family is with you," David told an Austin television station shortly after his family moved to Texas. Little did he know at the time how those words would be put to the test yet again.
After a year of living as a commuter family, with uncanny feats of multitasking accomplished daily, the Bolognas say the anticipation of tonight's awards presentation has been almost surreal.
"There was quite a rush when it was announced, and it was hectic the first couple of weeks after with press events and interviews. This week it has calmed down slightly," Holly said Thursday, two days before she was to pick up David's tux and her size-0 gown that had to be hemmed to fit her 5-foot frame.
"It's almost like a wedding. You do all this planning, and there is this moment when the plans are complete. But when you begin to implement the things, that's when the excitement begins," Holly said.
And for David, New York has been .¤.¤. well, New York. He met Liza Minnelli and is hoping to encounter Will Ferrell tonight. Then there was that encounter with the pop icon who wrote the music for "Billy Elliot."
"At rehearsals on the night before the opening of the show, we were talking about whether or not we would meet Elton John, and then he walks up right where we were standing backstage," said David, who gleefully refers to the legend as "a really nice guy."
John had playfully taken the stage wearing a pink tutu.
"He told us we did an awesome job," said David, who witnessed the singer-composer being moved to tears. "He said he was moved by our performance."
With the Tony awards presentation just hours away, David says his family's sacrifices have been "kind and loving," but hesitates to scribble down a speech to fold into his hand, just in case he is called to the stage.
"I was at a Tony luncheon last week, and theater veteran Harvey Fierstein said you shouldn't take out a list and just thank people," David said. "He said, that's the time when everyone at home is watching, and that's when you need to say what you feel."
If he wins, that's exactly what he intends to do.

As backroom barroom theater at the Voodoo Mystere Lounge hurtles toward its Jan. 15 closing, there's a sense of urgency to the productions that director Michael Martin is ushering to the stage.
It's certainly apparent in "Christmas on Mars," the late Harry Kondoleon's quirky way-off-Broadway comedy from 1983. This runaway train of a play involves four monstrously needy, lying, egotistical characters who collide at the corner of dysfunction junction and Santa Claus Lane.
All is not merry and bright in "Christmas on Mars, " which is saved from despair by the absurdity of its nonstop revelations and the surreal atmosphere of a group therapy session gone horribly awry.
Bruno and Audrey are a young couple checking out an apartment when Bruno mentions that he's contacted Audrey's long-estranged mother to help them out financially. Audrey explodes and drops her own bombshell: She's pregnant. Bruno immediately proposes, but Audrey is doubtful. Bruno is a (shudder!) male model, an "If, maybe, when, perhaps" kind of guy.
Enter Bruno's longtime roommate, Nissim, an aggressively gay, recently fired airline steward, informing Audrey in a torrent of invective and attitude that he and Bruno are lovers, that Bruno isn't even his real name, that Bruno has lived off many others, including a paramour whose kink was pretending to be Bruno's dog: "Didn't you notice the tooth bites on his ankles?"
Audrey maintains her cool and Nissim's rant is ended by his abrupt collapse, whereupon Ingrid, Audrey's hated mother, appears, begging forgiveness. "I never married your father!" Ingrid tells Audrey. "I fell in love! With a man! I left my child for this man!" Who then left her, in Patrick Dennis' phrase, "bereft, bankrupt and beleaguered."
When Audrey and Nissim leave the room, Bruno tells Ingrid that it's true, he's always lived on his looks and by the way, she's very pretty and does she find him handsome? They immediately go into a passionate clinch.
News of Audrey's baby galvanizes Ingrid, who says she'll pay for everything, since "I want to feel joy again!" Nissim wants in on the baby thing, too, "to be one with the season of rebirth!" This folie a quatre unravels messily in the second act, set during Christmas, amid more melodramatic disclosures, multiple betrayals, realizations and a neurotic nativity scene.
It's a bit like Shelagh Delaney's "A Taste of Honey" (which also involved an unwed mother, gay friend and sluttish mother) given a lunatic rewrite by Christopher Durang. Kondoleon's lickety-split true confessions, however, include authentic cries from the heart that break through the cynical surface of his deranged, damaged characters.
Most of these come from Nissim, played in flighty, flaky, but oddly touching fashion by Warren Usey, who's all over the place. (The name Nissim means wonderful and he is.)
Everyone gets at least one loud, angry outburst, but as Audrey, Jessica Daigle's are downright scary. I thought her performance as the mad Madonna, the victim-as-victimizer, was splendid, although the playwright ultimately cops out on the character. Kathryn Talbot, as the manic, man-hungry Ingrid, is a bipolar bear of a mother.
Compactly built Chris Weaver, with an agreeable bit of a Cajun accent, isn't obvious casting as Bruno, the hustler who always lands on somebody's feet. But his seduction technique is knowingly languid and he does give the impression that he could be all things to all people.
Shouting is a leitmotif in Martin's direction. He either likes plays where people lose it, or uses volume to goose up performances. There's also a thrown-together aura to the production, which suits the play and small playing space.
"Christmas on Mars" is nutty as a fruitcake, appropriately enough, but more welcome: a wistfully wacky, off-kilter bit of holiday entertainment.

CARLISLE -- Cumberland County commissioners this morning gave tentative approval to a 2013 budget that, if approved as is, would raise property taxes 12 percent -- about $41 per year for the average property owner.
The tentative $74.5 million general fund budget will get a final vote Dec. 17. Until then, residents can get a copy at the courthouse or on the county website.
The budget is still $6.5 million out of balance, unless commissioners choose to close the gap with reserve funds.
The tax increase would ad $41.38 a year to the bill for a property assessed at $180,700, the county average.
There was no public input at the meeting this morning. A Lemoyne-based conservative political action group has been running radio ads asking Cumberland County residents to stand up against a county tax increase.
At an earlier meeting, all three members of the board said the 12 percent figure is meant as a starting point for discussion on how much the county tax could go up in 2013.
It appears doubtful the tax increase will be larger than 12 percent when commissioners approve a final budget. It could be lower, depending on how much progress commissioners make toward a goal of cutting county spending by at least $3.2 million in 2013.
Commissioners have already locked in about $450,000 in savings for next year by freezing salaries of county employees and making adjustments to employee health care benefits, such as increasing co-pays. The board hasn't ordered any layoffs but has called for eliminating dozens of vacant positions instead of refilling them.

Hard work is essential right from higher secondary level: To get admission to one of the top engineering colleges of Kota, students should give their best in the higher secondary and also national level entrance examinations. Those preparing for national level engineering entrance examination are recommended developing strong base towards science and mathematics. They should start developing this knowledge right from the first year of their higher secondary education. Mostly, the syllabus for entrance examinations conducted at national level for engineering admission like JEE is based on the higher secondary CBSE syllabus. So, immediately after completion of their higher secondary, students are recommended to get back to their class XI CBSE books to refresh the syllabus. Even, those, who have completed their higher secondary under other state boards of education, are recommended to go through CBSE books besides the NCERT books, which will provide them the excellent confidence to face the entrance examination. So, making up to one of the Best engineering colleges in Kota is not a rocket science and it requires dedication and practice.

FLINT, MI – Expert Human Resources, a Flint-based company, will host a seminar dealing with employment law and regulations on Thursday, May 23, from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the America's Best Inns and Suites Hotel on Hill Road in Flint.
"Employment laws and regulations are not only confusing; they are constantly changing. Trying to keep up with the laws can be extremely frustrating for business owners, executives, managers and supervisors who are responsible for applying the laws in the workplace," said Vanessa Nelson, president of EHR.
"It is essential to maintain compliance, especially when you consider the increasingly litigious nature of our society as well as government fines and penalties."
Nelson – who is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources and Certified Labor Relations Leader – will host the workshop
The workshop will cover HR and employment law issues to reduce organizations' risk, Nelson said, and will including:
- The powerful basics of writing policies, procedures, and employee handbooks.
- The two areas most discrimination suits are filed over.
- How the Right-to-Work Act will affect your business.
- The high price of mis-classifying employees.
- How to navigate the multiple complexities of employment law and how the court interprets them.
To register, go to www.experthumanresources.com/events, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (877) 356-6175. The cost is of the seminar is $50 per attendee and includes the cost of the lunch.
Expert HR Pro members will receive free entry into the session.

New Orleans might not officially own the Louisiana ArtWorks building, but it is still responsible for a federal Housing and Urban Development loan of $11 million with an annual payment of roughly $600,000, said Scott Hutcheson, the cultural economy adviser to Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Louisiana ArtWorks, the little-used $25 million studio complex near Lee Circle, has been closed since 2011.
Read "Louisiana ArtWorks' $25 million studio complex ceases operation" here.
Hutcheson said he doesn't know when the five-story, 93,000-square-foot space will again operate as an art-making center, or be put to some other use. But, he said, in the meantime, the building is secure and is being maintained by the city.
The city, Hutcheson said, does not own the building; it is still owned by Louisiana Artists Guild, a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 to build and manage ArtWorks in conjunction with the Arts Council of New Orleans, a city-affiliated agency. The Louisiana Artists Guild board of directors resigned in May, leaving a management vacuum. Mary Len Costa, interim president and chief executive officer of the Arts Council of New Orleans, said the Louisiana Artists Guild was always a separate nonprofit agency and that the Arts Council has no responsibility.
"We want to see that location back in commerce," Hutcheson said, but he said he is unsure how soon that can take place. Even when "the legal complications of the ownership" are worked out, Hutchinson said, there will be challenges in transforming the industrial-style facility to serve another function.
"We want the best value for the citizens who bought it," he said.
Read James Gill's column "Louisiana ArtWorks was an artistic masterpiece of a boondoggle" here.

Thousands of parents, teachers and administrators from the borough's 33 Catholic schools are scheduled to converge on the Midland Beach promenade Saturday morning for the 26th Annual Family Fun Day-Fun Run, sponsored by the Staten Island Federation of Catholic School Parents, an umbrella organization comprised of delegates from each school.
Students from pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade, wearing their school colors and joined by teachers, pastors and principals, gather along the beach-front promenade to raise money for their schools. Each student who participates collects pledges and donations for his or her school from sponsors for each lap they complete.
The gathering offers entertainment for everyone from tweens to pre-kindergartners. Expect DJ music, face-painting, clowns and other costumed characters. Representatives from each school will be at tables handing out treats to participating students.
Barbara Bortle-Gainey, a Notre Dame Academy graduate and mother of Catholic school students, volunteers her time as the co-president of the Staten Island Federation of Catholic School Parents.
"This day is important because it brings all the Catholic schools together in a show of support for Catholic education," she said.
"So many school children dressed in their school colors, walking, laughing and dancing is certainly a sight that makes us all proud to be part of the Catholic school community on Staten Island Island," she said.
This year's Fun Run comes after a tough year that saw the New York Archdiocese close five Catholic schools on Staten Island in June due to low enrollment.
East Shore schools participating in this year's Fun Run include St. Ann's School, Dongan Hills; St. Charles School, Oakwood; St. Christopher's School, Grant City; St. John Villa Academy, Arrochar; St. Joseph Hill Academy, Arrochar; St. Joseph's School, Rosebank; Holy Rosary School, South Beach; Our Lady Queen of Peace School, New Dorp; St. Patrick's School, Richmond, Immaculate Conception School, Stapleton, and the Academy of St. Dorothy, Grasmere.
Each school keeps its own attendance, but Mrs. Bortle-Gainey enthusiastically estimated thousands of visitors for the day.
Over the years, the Fun Run has raised more than $100,000 to make education more affordable at the Catholic schools on Staten Island. The money helps lower the tuition costs and funds scholarships.
Proceeds are distributed in the annual awards program in May, as well as in individual tuition awards for eighth-grade students about to pursue their education at Catholic high schools.
The walk steps off at 9 a.m., by the Turtle Fountain Circle, and runs until 2 p.m.

Amazon Pilots
I mentioned the other week that Amazon released 14 pilot episodes for original series. They haven't made a decision about which series will get picked up, but I watched a bunch, so here are some thoughts. High level summary: "Meh."

The entertainment world is still reeling from the sad and untimely death of comedian Patrice O' Neal who died earlier this week after suffering a stroke in October.
While the list of comedy legends we've lost would be too long (Lenny Bruce, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley and Andy Kaufman), here's a look at some notable stand-ups that we lost too early in their careers:
Freddie Prinze: The star of the CBS sitcom "Chico and the Man" worked at several comedy clubs in New York. Prinze originally wanted to be known as the "King of Comedy" (but Alan King already had the name). As a result, he would be the Prince - or 'Prinze' of comedy instead.
Prinze, who suffered from depression, shot himself and was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center and put on life support. On January 29, 1977 at 1 p.m., his family removed him from life support. He was 22.
Bernie Mac: Gaining popularity as a comic after joining comedians Cedric the Entertainer, D L. Hughley and Steve Harvey a one of the comics in the Spike Lee concert film "The Original Kings of Comedy," Mac exploded. Tv and film roles came calling -- noptably on Fox with his own sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show" and in such blockbuster films as "Ocean's Eleven" and "Charlie's Angels. He suffered from sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory lung disease which roduces small lumps of cells in solid organs. In 2005, Mac stated that the condition was in remission. His death at 50 on August 9, 2008 was caused as a result of complications from pneumonia.
Bill Hicks: Hicks was many things. In addition to being a top-notch comic, many considered him to be a deft social critic as well as keen musician. He would often delve into material about politics, religion and society interspersed with personal issues. Sadly, he died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at the age of 32. (Warning: Some NSFW language included below).
Sam Kinison: This former Pentecostal preacher was often considered to be itense, brash and very politically incorrect . With a style akin to reachers he grew up watching, the punchline is always emphasized by a trademark scream.
On April 10, 1992, Kinison, 38, died after his white 1989 Pontiac Trans Am was struck on U.S. Route 95, by a pickup truck driven by a 17-year-old drunk driver. The autopsy found that Kinison had been clean and sober.
Mitch Hedberg: The stand-up comic was best known for surreal humor and odddelivery. He comedy toolkit included scores of one-liners that allowed to to achieve a cult-like following. On March 30, 2005, the comedian, 37, was found dead in a hotel room in Livingston, New Jersey. The New Jersey medical examiner's office concluded that "multiple drug toxicity" in the form of cocaine and heroin as the official cause of death, reported the Associated Press.
Greg Giraldo: A retired lawyer, Giraldo was best known for appearances on Comedy Central's televised roast specials as well as for his work on the network's "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn " and Lewis Black's "Root of All Evil." At 44, he died September 29, 2010 of an overdose of prescription medication. After failing to appear at the Stress Factory Comedy Club, police found him in his hotel room in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Authorities soon rushed him to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Traci Clausen is at it again. The crafty creator of RePurposingNOLA Piece by Peace — the lengthy-named, locally made line of purses, aprons, furniture and other items made from found fabrics and reused burlap coffee sacks — has come out with a new dress design that's just ingenious.
It's made from recycled men's broadcloth shirting fashioned into a halter top. The former sleeves wrap around and button at cuffs behind the neck. "The shirt buttons open down the back and utilize the natural kick pleat from the shirt," Clausen said. The skirt is made from recycled burlap coffee sacks from PJs Coffee. The garment is lined and creates "zero waste," she said.
The $200 dress isn't cheap, but it's definitely a conversation piece. Customers who provide their own oxford cotton men's shirt receive a 25 percent discount.
Another piece that will get tongue's wagging is RePurposing NOLA's tailgating aprons made from recycled stadium banners from Super Bowl XLIV (you remember that one, right?).
The 2013 New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee's Environmental Program partnered with REpurposingNOLA to recycle last year's banners and fence wraps from Miami.
So if you're feeling blue during this season, you can literally wrap yourself in XLIV glory.
For details, check out http://repurposingnola-piece-by-peace.com.
Shopping can be a thrill, but even the best score in a full-price retail store doesn't hold a candle to the exhilaration of finding a great piece at a bargain price in a thrift shop.
This week, the Encore Shop's volunteers are hosting their annual "Fall into Fashion" event to help shoppers connect with the budgetary-friendly dress of their dreams. All proceeds from the store, at 7814 Maple St., benefit the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
Encore's "Fall Into Fashion" sale continues today through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each day will have a special fashion feature, and volunteers will help customers put together looks.
Ever since my mother showed me the proper placement of fork and knife, I've loved setting a pretty table. It's one of those little pleasures of entertaining. With turkey and dressing time right around the corner, Annie Morhauser, artist and founder of Annieglass tableware, will be in town this week presenting "Comfortable Entertaining for You, Your Guests and Your Wallet."
Morehauser will be at Adler's on Canal Street on Thursday and at Adler's in Lakeside Shopping Center on Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. both days. A portion of sales from the event will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.
Annieglass is a high-end line of handcrafted dishes. According to the news release, each piece is made through a unique "slumping" technique. A sheet of flat glass is melted over a mold in a kiln and fired at an extremely high temperature.

Work to begin on more than 270 homes in spring
POULSBO — The spring season means showers, and flowers, and in Poulsbo this year it means homes.
Two new housing developments — Summerset and Mountain Aire — are slated to add more than 270 new homes to the city, and are expected to first break ground in spring.
Quadrant Homes is in charge of the Mountain Aire project, which will be located across from the intersection of Noll Road and Hostmark Street. The development will extend east and abut the city limits.
"That Noll Road area is so rich with recreation, and amenities like schools, and it's close to downtown," said Bonnie Geers, vice president of community development with Quadrant Homes.
While Mountain Aire will break ground this spring, Quadrant doesn't expect to begin selling the homes until 2015.
The 29.74-acre site will offer 145 new lots for single-family homes. Lot sizes will range from 4,320-square-feet to 7,736-square-feet. The average lot size is expected to be 5,902-square-feet, adding up to approximately 4.88 dwellings per acre.
A total of 5.9-acres will be set aside for open space that will include parks and trails.
Poulsbo's Vinland subdivision is also a product of Quadrant Homes.
"We are excited about the popularity of our Vinland community," Geers said. "It's been a great success. We believe that Mountain Aire will continue down that path."
"The Vinland houses are on a bit smaller lots, and the Mountain Aire lots are more generous," Geers said, further noting that the Mountain Aire home plans will be different than Vinlands, and will likely follow the Northwest craftsman style.
Geers said that Quadrant Homes performs more customization than most builders, therefore buyers will provide input on individual Mountain Aire homes as they are sold and built.
The new Summerset development will be located at the north end of the city, off of Vetter Road and neighboring to the north of Max Williams Loop; near where Vetter Road meets Viking Way.
The 22.51-acre development will add 128 lots to the area. Lots range from 2,340- to 6,764-square-feet.
It will include 7.6-acres of open space with a park, picnic areas, a gazebo, benches, a half basketball court, and a tot lot.
Summerset is a product of Central Highland Builders. The company has constructed two other Poulsbo developments; Chateau Ridge and Poulsbo Place.
Traffic studies were conducted for the subdivisions and it was determined that each company would have to pay for a portion of city road improvements to offset their added load. Summerset is estimated to add approximately 995 daily trips on area roads, with 105 during the peak hours. A max total of $303,554 was paid to cover the improvements.
Mountain Aire's contribution to city road improvements was a max total of $569,968 to cover 1,378 daily trips on surrounding roads, with 145 during peak hours.

Matrix Curl Life Extra Intense Conditioner
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
Curl Life Defining System's unique technology fuses moisture and control to professionally tame curls every step of the way.
Sep 16, 2009
Waste Of Money
I bought this when I was on vacation and forgot my Deva curl gel (which works like magic btw) and I was disappointed. I have curly, fine hair that fizzes only when mussed with, but needs a little product for definition. This provided no definition what so ever. At this price, I was definitely expecting more.
1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

You see it at all levels of sports -- from the pros to the youth leagues -- all producing various degrees of agitation for anyone watching. Players and coaches (and parents, if it applies) are all guilty of it to some extent.
The charge: Taking something for granted.
It could be an expectation of field conditions to be a certain way, or equipment placed in a specific order. And any disruptance of what's expected can trigger a kind of response that can range from a minor fit to all-out rage.
That's why covering Saturday's New Year Singles Classic, the first of the Island's bowling tournaments of the season, was so refreshing.
Here were 24 people who were basically competing for the love of the sport, since you definitely can't make a living off of winning local bowling tournaments (I'm sure the $1,250 earned by tourney winner Joe Aballo has already been spent paying a few bills).
Tourney director Jim Elliott did a great job with organization. But one of the things that makes an event such as the New Year Singles Classic so entertaining -- especially after having to watch so many regimented sports leagues, which often are suffocating in so much red tape that all the fun for the participants is choked away -- is the off-the-cuff, small-town feel it elicits.
All you needed to do was sit in on how the first-round brackets were chosen -- with each bowler stepping up to a table set up in the bar at Rab's Country Lanes and turning over a slip of paper with a lane number on it -- to know you weren't involved in some glossy high-tech operation.
And that's a good thing.
It didn't make a difference if there were no T-shirts for competitors or cable TV coverage, or any of the other bells and whistles that usually accompany even some major local events like the SIHSL boys' basketball tournament.
And the competitors didn't whine and complain if the Country Lanes P.A. system blared that a lane was available for Bobby during open bowling hours in the middle of their approach.
And they didn't try to psyche out their opponent by ignoring them. Instead, they offered high-fives when a strike was rolled against them.
And they hung around to watch their fellow competitors bowl, and weren't pouting in the corner about having lost.
And the good news is that it's like that with most every bowling event you'll go to, no matter what the house, no matter what the level of competition. You'll find the same thing at a place like Carolier Lanes in Jersey when the pros come out for the U.S. Open.
The bad news is that -- primarily because real estate is so expensive -- bowling houses are disappearing at an alarming rate, and the sport is becoming less of an option for kids and families looking to have a fun (and still relatively cheap) time on a Friday or Saturday night. And that's a shame.
From newspapers to TV to stand-up comedians, bowlers are often the butt of jokes, stating that they're not real athletes.
In a lot of instances -- especially when it comes to being appreciative of what they have -- they're better.

According to his report, Stark says the Phillies are quietly shopping Thome to an American League team, where his still-potent bat could get regular use as a designated hitter. The Phillies thought Thome could give them a game or two a week at first base with Ryan Howard sidelined, but that never panned out.
Thome is batting .242 with five home runs and 15 RBIs in limited action (30 games, 62 at-bats) with the Phillies.

An ethics committee on Thursday recommended a Jefferson Parish government contracting ban for a company owned by the husband of former parish official Anatola Thompson. If the Parish Council agrees, Le' Nouveau Construction will be ineligible for parish contracts for two years.
Thompson, the former community development director, is married to Le Nouveau's owner, Eric Thompson. She abruptly resigned her position in October, shortly before the Louisiana legislative auditor's office issued a scathing investigative report accusing the couple - along with many others - of ethics violations in connection with a Marrero non-profit called Thompson Thibodeaux Community Development Corp.
The five-member ethics committee comprises four elected officials and Jennifer Van Vrancken-Dwyer, the chief operating officer in Parish President John Young's administration. Van Vrancken-Dwyer cast the deciding vote in support a motion put forth by Young - her boss - to ban Le' Nouveau.
Councilwoman Cynthia Lee-Sheng voted against, saying she wanted more time to consider information that the Thompsons presented at the meeting.
Two other committee members, councilmen Chris Roberts and Mark Spears, Jr., did not attend the meeting.
Assistant Parish Attorney Liz Lambert said Le Noveau "more than likely" violated a parish ordinance prohibiting contractors from "knowingly" participating in transactions that cause parish employees to violate local and state ethics laws.
The allegation pertains to Anatola Thompson's approval of a $19,794 payment to Thompson Thibodeaux.
The May 2006 payment included $8,462 to Marshall Builders, whose owner, Michael Barice, had partnered with Eric Thompson. State law prohibits public servants from participating in governmental transactions that benefit immediate family members.
Thompson asserted in her response to the audit that her husband partnered with Barice personally, not with Barice's company, and that Barice subcontracted for Le Nouveau, not the other way around. Furthermore, she stated, the invoice she approved made no mention of Le Nouveau.
The Thompsons reiterated those and other arguments Thursday in defending Eric Thompson's company against the two-year ban. Reading a letter to the committee in her husband's name, Anatola Thompson first argued that Le Nouveau never performed work under the invoice she approved.
She then stressed that the invoice was for work performed in the summer of 2005, before Hurricane Katrina and more than six months before she became head of the Community Development Department. The couple argued that Eric Thompson would have had to anticipate his wife's career move and the disaster-related delays in invoices for him knowingly to cause her to violate ethics laws.
"There is no way that I would have known either of these events would take place," Anatola Thompson said Thursday, reading Eric Thompson's letter. "I would have had to have been privy to various actions and incidents that would take place in the future."
The committee's vote also revoked previous council resolution approving Le Nouveau to work as a subcontractor on landfill contracts. The company is not currently working on those contracts and has no other business with the parish, officials said.
Eric Thompson's brother-in-law is Spears' predecessor on the Parish Council, Byron Lee, who also sat on the Thompson Thibodeaux governing board. Two months after leaving the board in 2004, Lee cast the first of 10 votes on the council providing more than $1.5 million in funding for Thompson Thibodeaux.
The state audit also cast blame on Spears. While working as an assistant parish attorney and serving on the Thompson Thibodeaux board, he requested that the parish's Accounting Department expedite a $100,000 payment to the organization, according to the audit report.
Spears' lawyer, Tracie Washington, responded to this finding by saying Spears was merely passing on a request from Lee. Washington did not directly respond to one of several other accusations in the audit report, that Spears represented Thompson Thibodeaux in a lawsuit involving a parish-funded first-time homebuyer program.
Though the lawsuit predated Spears' tenure on the Thompson Thibodeaux board, auditors said Spears received payment "for services rendered for an entity that had a contractual business relationship with his agency (Jefferson Parish)."
