The voice still can thunder.
Even in conversation, away from the stage, Topol's majestic baritone envelops the listener in luxuriant sound. No matter what this man has to say, you'd want to hear it--savor it--just to revel in the crushed-velvet tone of that instrument.
In front of an audience, it's more musical still, the voice darting from falsetto high notes to rumbling low ones in both song and dialogue, as Topol poignantly portrays Tevye in the classic musical "Fiddler on the Roof," now at the Oriental Theatre .
Yet at 73 , Israeli singer-actor Topol--whose full name is Chaim Topol but is known by his surname--still marvels that he ever was allowed to sing in public in the first place. From the start of a performance career he says he practically stumbled into, he says he suffered from a tin ear (as did his listeners).
"I couldn't hit a note," says Topol, a few hours before opening night at the Oriental, in what's being billed as his "Farewell Tour" as Tevye.
"When I was young, sometimes the accordion would start, I wouldn't pay attention to what he played, and I would start my own way--and all the musicians would have to adjust in my key," adds Topol.
"I didn't even know that I did something wrong. All I had is the looks from the musicians, wondering 'Where are you?'"
He has come a very long way, since starring in the London premiere of "Fiddler" (1967) and in Norman Jewison's brilliant film adaptation (1971). Topol has been the definitive Tevye against which all others are measured. Add to that more than 2,500 live performances in the role on stages around the world, and he clearly will be remembered forever as Tevye the dairyman, an impoverished Jew trying to eke out an existence in a tiny shtetl in Czarist Russia.
Topol's regal voice as Tevye, though, represents just part of his appeal. The imploring way he raises his hands to the heavens as he communes aloud with God, the bounce in his step as he dances jubilantly at his daughter's wedding, the sorrow on his face as the czar's soldiers attack his village all make Tevye--and his long-vanished world--feel tangibly real.
"The first time my wife and I saw Topol was in London, and he was a very young man and quite charismatic," recalls Sheldon Harnick, the native Chicagoan who wrote lyrics to the songs in "Fiddler."
"He walked on stage and within 30 seconds we thought, 'We're yours.' He brought a great vigor and a great understanding to the role.
"We just saw him again in New Jersey at the start of this tour, and when he came out, he didn't look like a vigorous young man. He looked more frail. He looked like a man who's had a difficult time of it. His second act was even more moving than I've ever seen him doing it."
Certainly Topol appears thinner than his Tevye of old. The decades that have passed since he first triumphed in the role make his present-day Tevye seem worn, tired, almost despairing. Still, there's also a palpable love of life and bittersweet humor in this interpretation, which Topol credits, above all, to Tevye himself.
"I have seen people in high school play Tevye, guys in amateur groups, I saw Yugoslavs, Croatians, actors in Zagreb and Montenegro and Turks and Greeks playing the part," says Topol. "They are all playing extremely well, because it's a very, very good part, probably one of the best parts ever written for a male actor-singer."
An invention of the Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem, Tevye was re-imagined for the stage in the early 1960s by Harnick, composer Jerry Bock , book writer Joseph Stein and director-chore ographer Jerome Robbins . Each was a first- or second-generation descendant of Eastern European Jews and essentially modeled their Tevye on the old men they knew as children.
"In a sense, Tevye is Everyman, but every great character that has ever been written is that," says 85-year-old Theodore Bikel, another of the world's great Tevyes. "But this is one that is down to earth. Tevye is there with all of his joys and his suffering and living in an environment that is, to put it mildly, oppressive.
"Yet he manages to walk, to sing, to dance, to play, in the midst of all this mayhem."
From the start, Topol had a genetic and cultural edge in playing the role. Born in Tel Aviv in 1935 (13 years before Israel became a nation), he grew up among old, Eastern European emigres who may as well have been the Tevye that writer Aleichem created. And though most of Topol's extended family in Europe was massacred in the Holocaust, he always felt that the essence of this character was bound up in his being.
"My father's grandfather was a Tevye, and his grandfather was a Tevye. But, as I said, you don't have to be a grandson of a Tevye in order to play this part."
Yet it helps.
Not that Topol in his youth imagined becoming Tevye--or anyone else--on the musical stage. His parents never had the radio tuned to music, he didn't take music lessons as a child and the primary music he heard was that of cantors in synagogue, their lamenting phrases audibly influencing his speech and singing in "Fiddler."
It wasn't until he inexplicably decided to form a choir in an Israeli kibbutz and proceeded to continue singing--and, then, acting--in the army that he found his calling (if not yet his pitch). Eventually, with practice and some coaching, his singing improved dramatically, building on his preternaturally magnificent pipes.
The rigors of performing under often-difficult conditions in the Israeli army gave bulk and heft to an already formidable set of lungs.
"One of the advantages I had was that I had a strong voice," says Topol. "We didn't have microphones or anything, so we really had to scream."
After his time in the army, he helped found a roving, satirical-theatrical kibbutz troupe called Spring Onion, which became something of a national institution and launched his performance career in earnest. One of the stock characters he developed--an old Jewish emigre struggling in 1950s Israel--became the title character of the Oscar-nominated Israeli film "Sallah" (1964), Topol's tour de force performance that got him the audition for the London "Fiddler."
When film director Jewison appeared backstage to say he wanted Topol for the big-screen "Fiddler," "I was shocked," says the actor. "I have no idea why he picked me," he adds; in his memoir, "Topol by Topol," he pays deep homage to Zero Mostel , who originated the role.
Yet Jewison picked Topol, and in his memoir he speculates on why:
"The Fiddler is essentially a tragicomedy; the first act is more comedy until just before the interval [intermission], and from then on it becomes quite sad," writes Topol.
"If one stresses the comic element too much in the first half, it is very difficult to sway the audience to the tragic second act. Watching [the Yiddish actor] Rodenski , I learned how dramatic the second half could be and felt that the show was more than just another musical. I tried to follow his example and find the right balance. I think it was also the sort of balance which Norman Jewison felt the story called for, which is probably why I got the film part. On the other hand, the fact that I was a good deal less expensive than other candidates may also have had something to do with it ."
So is Topol really hanging up Tevye's milk wagon after this tour?
"When they invited me to do this, they asked if they could put 'Farewell Tour,'" says Topol, who lives in Tel Aviv with his wife, Galia (they have three children and several grandchildren).
"And I said OK. But if they ask again at the age of 80, and I'm able to do it again, I'll do it. ...
"I'm always happy to come back to Tevye."
The voice still can thunder.

Minister Without Portfolio Lo Ying-shay (羅瑩雪), who was named minister of justice yesterday, said that just because she has no experience as a judge or prosecutor did not mean she was unqualified for the position.
Speaking to reporters after the Executive Yuan issued a statement announcing her appointment, Lo said she was prepared to sign execution orders when necessary.
A justice minister should not have any personal views on the death penalty, Lo said, adding that a justice minister is obliged to follow the law when signing execution orders.
Lo will replace Tseng Yung-fu (曾勇夫), who said he was forced to resign earlier this month by Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) for allegedly unduly taking the role of prosecution in allegations over improper lobbying involving Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平). Tseng denies any impropriety.
In the statement, the Executive Yuan praised Lo for her "uprightness, proactiveness and dedication to promoting human rights."
The Executive Yuan said it was confident that Lo will be able to defend judicial independence and align the development of human rights with international standards after she takes up the position.
Lo, born in 1951, holds a master's degree in criminal justice from the University of Albany, State University of New York, and has been known to have a close relationship with President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九).
She was a year behind Ma at National Taiwan University's College of Law and joined a movement in the US against Japan's territorial claim to the Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台) in the early 1970s, of which Ma was a leader.
When Ma was accused in 2007 of misusing his special allowance funds during his two terms as mayor of Taipei, Lo, a lawyer, represented Yu Wen (余文), then a Taipei City Government staffer who handled reimbursements for the allowance, in defending Ma's name.
Lo denied that her relationship with Ma dated back to National Taiwan University, saying that they did not get to know each other until they both became involved in the Protect Diaoyutai Islands Movement in the US.
After her appointment was announced, criticism was raised because of her lack of experience within the Ministry of Justice and because she has not served as a judge or a prosecutor.
In response to reporters' questions, Lo said she first turned down the position, telling Jiang that she lacked experience.
However, Jiang did not consider that a problem and convinced her to prioritize national interests and consider the overall situation, Lo said.
Saying that the duty ahead of her "is certainly going to be very heavy," Lo added that she was "not worried" because the Ministry of Justice has an abundance of talented staff members.
Lo was appointed minister of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission in 2011 and simultaneously served as a minister without portfolio in charge of coordinating policies related to the judicial system, police, households and Hakka and Aboriginal affairs.
Following the death of army corporal Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) in July, allegedly due to mistreatment by his superiors, Lo was assigned to coordinate efforts among government agencies to end the military court martial system and to lead the Executive Yuan's Military Injustice Petitions Committee to review cases of miscarriages of justice.
Lo will be the third justice minister in the Ma administration.

A customs officer who allegedly conspired with a baggage handler to smuggle drugs into Australia will remain behind bars following a Sydney court hearing.
Paul Valsamakis, 40, is charged with three counts of conspiracy to import commercial quantities of pseudoephedrine, two counts of receiving a bribe, two counts of abusing public office and one count of inciting robbery.
The Sydney man is one of five men who have been charged over the alleged importations of the drug pseudoephedrine - used to make the drug ice - in March and June last year.
The men, including two customs officers and a former baggage handler, were arrested as part of an ongoing Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigation into a sophisticated drug syndicate operating out of Sydney Airport.
Police allege the customs officers directed resources and monitored CCTV to help the baggage handler take drug-loaded suitcases from planes and off the airport precinct.
Police seized about 40 kilograms of the drug, capable of making an estimated $9.5 million worth of ice, from the final importation on June 6.
Valsamakis did not apply for bail, which was formally refused on Thursday in Sydney's Newtown Local Court, where he was remanded to appear in Central Local Court on April 13.
The AFP said it believes the corrupt activity is confined to Sydney and does not involve other Australian airports.
It comes after Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare last year announced the establishment of a reform board to clean up the customs service.

Sexual Harassment is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; and, in Kentucky, by the Fair Employment Practices Act, KRS 344-010-.500,207.170.
Sexual harassment: is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
- Submission to or rejection of this conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's education advancement or employment;
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions or academic decisions affecting such individual;
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or academic environment.
Sexual Violence: The Title IX requirements that pertain to sexual harassment also cover sexual violence. Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person's will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the victim's use of drugs or alcohol. An individual also may be unable to give consent due to an intellectual or other disability.
Examples of Sexual Harassment
The following types of conduct are some examples of sexual harassment and sexual violence:
Sexual Harassment
- Direct sexual advances, propositions, invitations or demands for sexual favors
- Unwelcome physical contact such as touching, patting, grabbing or rubbing
- Suggestive remarks about a person's physical attributes or clothing
- Repeated, unwelcome requests for dates
- Displaying or distributing sexually offensive posters, pictures, words or messages; sexual or derogatory comments/pictures about men/women on coffee mugs, hats, clothing, etc.
- Offensive sexual questions, jokes, cartoons, graffiti or stories
- Seeking sexual favors in return for the promise of academic or employment privileges
- Sexually suggestive leering or other offensive gestures

- Indecent exposure and displaying of pornography
- Offensive conduct such as; hooting, whistling, lip-smacking, and animal noises
- Sexual assault
Sexual Violence
- Rape
- Sexual Assault or Battery
- Sexual Coercion
What Should You Do If You Experience Sexual Harassment?
- Be aware of Thomas More's Sexual Harassment Policy. Every member of the Thomas More community has the right to experience an environment free from discriminating or harassing behavior. Know what resources are available to you on campus.
- Talk to someone you trust about the situation.
- Do not ignore the offensive behavior. Being quiet about the incident enables sexual harassment to continue. You may not have been the only person harassed by the offender. Speaking up may prevent others from being harassed.
- Get information and support. Seek assistance from the university. You can talk about the situation to the Dean of Students, Director of Safety or the Sexual Harassment/Title IX Coordinator.
- Keep records. Save any emails, texts, letters or phone messages that you may have received from the offender. Record everything you can remember about the offender and the situation.
What Should You Do If You Have Been Assaulted?
- Get to a place where you feel safe.
- Contact someone you feel safe with and trust. You have the option of contacting the Sexual Harassment Coordinators, Dean of Students or Director of Safety.
- It is important not to shower, douche, use the bathroom, or change your clothes. In case you want to make a police report these things should be avoided so that evidence can be collected.
- Go to the nearest emergency room. It is important for you to be seen medically in case you have any injuries. The Women's Crisis Center has personnel that will come and be with you to see you through this process.
Common Reactions to Sexual Harassment or Assault:
It is common for victims to experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms for a period of time after being harassed or assaulted. Common problems may include some of the following:
- Changes in appetite and having difficulty sleeping
- Mood Swings that include sadness and irritability
- Feelings of shame and humiliation

Court: Baby heard crying, gasping; Broken wall, blood found at home
Nanny says fatal injuries didn't happen in her care
In the hours before a 1-year-old girl was rushed unresponsive to a local hospital, a neighbor says she heard her crying and gasping while in the care of a nanny now accused in the baby's death, according to court documents obtained by Team 5 investigates.
Aisling McCarthy Brady, 34, of Quincy, was ordered held on $500,000 bail at her arraignment in Cambridge District Court. Since the baby died, charges are expected to be upgraded to homicide.
Cambridge police were called to a home on Ash Street on Jan. 14 for an unresponsive child, the Middlesex County District Attorney's office said.
The baby girl, identified as Rehma Sabir, was taken to Children's Hospital in Boston. She was declared brain dead two days later and removed from life support.
According to newly-released court documents, a neighbor told police on the morning of Jan. 14, while the baby was in Brady's care, she heard the girl crying loudly at 8:30 a.m., and by 9:30 a.m., the baby's wails had intensified and she was gasping.
Concerned, the neighbor told police she went to the apartment door and started knocking loudly.
"(She) went downstairs and knocked on the front door to the apartment for a minute and a half, timing the knocks and then pounds on the door in between the baby's gasping so it would be heard by someone inside," according to court documents.
The neighbor said she went back upstairs and the baby cried for about 10 more minutes.
"It started to slow and settle down before stopping completely. She did not hear the baby after 10 a.m.," according to court documents.
Emergency responders were called to the address late that afternoon.
Investigators said when they searched the family's home the day before the baby died, they found a part of the wall next to the changing table was damaged, and pieces of drywall and plaster on the floor.
"The location of the missing drywall was consistent with it being damaged by forceful contact with the corner of the changing table," according to court documents.
The day after she died, investigators discovered blood-stained diapers and wipes in the trash in the nursery, as well as blood-stained pillows and blankets in her crib.
The parents said they did not know how the wall damage happened and that it was not there before. They also could not offer any insight into how the diapers and bedding became stained with blood, according to court documents.
The baby was found to be suffering from subdural and retinal hemorrhaging, broken bones including a broken arm and leg, compression fractures of the vertebrae and cerebral swelling, according to prosecutors.
The baby also showed signs of previous injuries that had started healing, prosecutors said.
Defense attorney Melinda Thompson said Brady is innocent and the injuries may have happened during family trips to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or London while the child was not in the nanny's care. Thompson also said the baby was diagnosed as malnourished by a doctor.
Brady, who is married without children of her own, had worked for the family for six months.
The baby's father, Sameer Sabir, studied at Harvard and MIT and developed pioneering skin-graft procedures. Her mother, Nada, is a Princeton-educated financial analyst.
Federal immigration officials told NewsCenter 5 that Brady was not in the country legally.

2014 NHL Draft order now completeby NHL.com Staff
With the Stanley Cup Final complete and the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup for the second time in three seasons, the order for the first round of the 2014 NHL Draft has been finalized.
The first 13 slots were set by the NHL Draft Lottery, which was held April 15 and won by the Florida Panthers.
In addition, the New Jersey Devils were awarded pick No. 30 as relief from an earlier penalty for circumventing the salary cap when they signed Ilya Kovalchuk in 2010.
Among teams that made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, non-division winners eliminated in the first two rounds were placed in inverse order of regular-season points, followed by division winners in inverse order of regular-season points.
The teams eliminated in the conference finals, the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks, will choose 26th and 27th, respectively.
The New York Rangers' pick will be No. 28 and the Cup champion Kings will pick 29th.
Two teams currently have multiple first-round picks. The Anaheim Ducks have their pick at No. 24 and also have the No. 10 pick from the Ottawa Senators, acquired last summer as part of the Bobby Ryan trade.
The Tampa Bay Lightning also have two selections; their pick at No. 19 and No. 28 from the Rangers as part of the Martin St. Louis trade. The pick was transferred to the Lightning when the Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Final.
Here is the order of the draft that begins June 27 (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, TSN) at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia:
10. Anaheim Ducks (from Ottawa Senators)
12. Phoenix Coyotes
14. Dallas Stars
18. Minnesota Wild
20. San Jose Sharks
21. St. Louis Blues
24. Anaheim Ducks
25. Boston Bruins
28. Tampa Bay Lightning (from New York Rangers)

Sorry for my prolonged absence, but now I'm back. With exciting developments to add. All animation was finished 6 weeks ago.
I have been coloring for the past 4 weeks, and now a total of 18 shots are colored. With 24 remaining and six weeks to tackle the project, everything's shaping up nicely.
This progress check features some color shots, but those are not the final comps (missing digital VFX and backgrounds). So trust me, the final look's going to blow you away.
More updates tomorrow!

text: Philadelphia. Just the mere name of the city (never "Philly" to us) invokes all sorts of richness--in history (the Liberty Bell! Ben Franklin!), in culture (Isaiah Zagar! Gina & Matt! Art Star!)...and in baked goods. And nowhere is that baked good scene as concentrated and eclectic as at the famous Reading Terminal Market, a historic covered farmers market in the heart of the city. From Pennsylvania Dutch-influenced strudels, pies and sticky buns to rich Italian cannoli, flaky baklava and some decidedly cosmopolitan cupcakes and pastries at a variety of different vendors, the market is a veritable treasure trove of sweetness--really, the hardest part is deciding where to start. Here are some of our favorite spots:

Astronomy Club believes that the best way to overcome racial oppression is to identify it and satirize it. With the help of a special guest Monologist, along with short interviews from audience members, we're taking stories- from a person of any race- where race played a factor. It could be the first moment you realized someone was being racist to you. Or that moment in the office when you mistook someone for someone else because they're the same race. Or even that time when you yourself used your white privilege or played the "black card"- you get the idea! Come share your stories on race, and watch as we create a hilarious improvised set *and* solve racism once and for all!

Occupy's National Gathering: A Vision for the Next Step Forward?
Occupy participants from every region of the United States poured into Philadelphia from June 30–July 4 for the movement's National Gathering. Many arrived in caravans from far-flung states like California, Texas, and Alabama, and about 500 people attended the event in its final days, according to Occupy Wall Street's Linnea M. Palmer Paton.
"It feels exactly like an Occupy," said Michael Wilson, who came from his hometown of Salt Lake City with three fellow occupiers, each of them driving a three-hour shift. "It's like all the months of an occupation compressed into just five days."
The activities of the National Gathering—or "Natgat," as occupiers invariably called it—covered a wide range of styles, tactics, and approaches to social change. At the gathering's center was a visioning process in which small groups of occupiers spent days carefully hammering out their ideas about the kind of changes they'd like to see. Then, these groups were combined and began compiling their ideas into a single document, which is rumored to now be 75 pages long.
Attendees held nightly General Assemblies, or GA's, open meetings that form the heart of most local Occupy groups. Their marches and demonstrations saw relatively little of the police violence that has marred other Occupy events. And there were daily workshops on topics like direct action, maintaining encampments, and interactions between activists. Many attendees said the workshops and skillshares were their favorite part of the week.
"I'm just here to learn," said Jacqueline Lundy of Occupy Chicago, pointing out that activists from around the country often faced similar dilemmas. For example, she said, everyone seemed to be talking about ways to improve on the structure of the General Assemblies. And indeed, a large GA on Wednesday focused on the need for more voices to be heard and for people who felt marginalized to have those feelings addressed.
Other events included a baseball game that pit the 99% against the 1% Tax Dodgers, and a "Wells Fargo Circus" in which ersatz bankers forced acrobats playing the role of loan applicants into all kinds of contortions—literally. These moments showed off the movement's talent for comedy, costumes, and playfulness.
The Importance of Being Sassy
How Occupiers, pranksters, and artists speak louder than money.
While some aspects of the gathering could have been stronger, there was no doubt that the movement is alive—and kicking. The Natgat was "smaller than what was hoped for," said Pete Tridish, a local Philadelphian and a founder of a community radio advocacy group called Prometheus Radio. But he remained hopeful about the future of Occupy: "The main goals of the gathering have been to think through the next steps of the movement, and they're meeting those goals."
Linnea M. Paton Palmer of Occupy Wall Street shared that feeling, pointing to an inspiring march through Downtown Philadelphia on the night of the Fourth of July. She's already rolling up her sleeves for the next big event, Occupy's first-year anniversary on September 17.
Occupiers from around the country will gather to discuss the future of the movement. What's at stake?

Hiking in Finland
Finland's unspoilt forests and thousands of islands and lakes offer plenty of opportunities for visitors to enjoy beautiful natural surroundings. Hikers and cross-country skiers can roam the endless forests and wide-open northern fells, while the lakes and rivers of central and eastern Finland are ideal for canoeists, and the labyrinthine archipelagos of the Baltic are a sailor's paradise.
In the wildest parts of northern Finland hikers can wander for hours - or even days - without seeing another soul, but even near towns and cities there are places where walkers or boaters can easily get close to nature for a few hours.
Many extensive areas of forest and open fell are owned by the State and managed by Metsähallitus, especially in Finnish Lapland.
In the south, more forests are owned by local people and managed to produce timber, but they still resemble natural forests. Finland's liberal laws of public access give everyone the right to roam the forests and countryside freely, no matter who owns the land.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Rookie quarterback Rick Mancuso threw for an Institute-record 387 yards and four touchdowns to ignite the MIT attack in a 34-21 victory over Nichols College at Steinbrenner Stadium, Saturday afternoon. Mancuso broke MIT single-game records for completions and attempts (25-of-43) and tied the school mark for touchdowns as the Engineers improved to 3-4 overall and leveled their Boyd divisional record at 2-2. With the loss, Nichols falls to 0-7 (0-5, Boyd).
MIT's first score of the day was set up by a superb defensive stand. The Bison marched 52 yards on their opening drive and had second-and-goal from the three. Josh Harris rushed to the one on the next play, but goal line stops by Dustin Bennett and Brennan Sherry prevented Nichols from taking the lead as MIT took over from its own one.
In its first offensive opportunity, MIT assembled one of the longest drives in Tech's grid history with a 12-play, 99-yard drive. Mancuso provided most of the damage with 94 yards through the air, including a 34-yard scoring toss to Marcus Carson that gave the Cardinal and Gray a six-point lead.
Nichols gained only one yard on its next series, but got the ball right back after MIT fumbled on the first play of its next series. The turnover proved costly as the Bison benefited from the short field and rushed four times for 20 yards to grab the lead. Quarterback Jon Snediker kept it for a one-yard touchdown run that capped the drive.
The MIT offense went right back to work on the ensuing possession and drove 65 yards on seven plays to re-take the lead. Mancuso completed a five-yard pass over the middle to tight end Chris Ruggiero for a five-yard score on the opening play of the second period as MIT moved in front, 13-7.
It didn't take long for Nichols to answer as the Bison ground game continued to find space to run. Judley Sason rushed six yards for the go-ahead score, but the drive was set up by Anthony Gaines, who returned the kick-off 27 yards to the MIT 48. Sason also had a key run of 13 yards on third down to keep the Nichols offense on the field.
Rick Mancuso stepped up again on MIT's next series as both defenses looked challenged to stop the offensive attack. Mancuso found four different receivers during the drive, which lasted eight plays and produced 45 yards. Picking up a blitz by the Bison defense on second-and-10, Mancuso completed a 15-yard strike to Ruggiero that resulted in his second touchdown catch of the day. With the kick, MIT pulled ahead 20-14 and secured a lead they wouldn't relinquish the rest of the way.
The Engineers extended their lead in the third frame with a balance of passing and rushing. Freshman Robert Utz rushed for 21 yards on three carries during the drive, while Muamba Muanankese added 10 yards on two touches. Ultimately, though, it was Mancuso who pushed Tech into the end zone with a 19-yard scoring strike to senior Tom Kilpatrick that tied the MIT single-game record for touchdown passes in a game.
MIT added to its advantage behind Mancuso's arm, which continued to perplex the Nichols secondary. On a drive that extended into the fourth quarter, Mancuso connected with five different receivers for 79 yards. The drive, which lasted 12 plays and covered 92 yards, was capped by Utz's one-yard score that pushed the lead to 34-14. Darren Zow made a remarkable catch on a 27-yard pass from Snediker that cut the lead to 34-21 with 10 minutes to play, but that was as close as Nichols would get as MIT grabbed its second win in two seasons over the visiting Bison.
Mancuso obliterated the single-game passing record of 291 yards set by Scott Blackburn in 1998. In addition, his remarkable effort on Saturday moved him into fifth all-time on the Institute's seasonal record for passing yards. Mancuso's top target was Marcus Carson, who collected a career-high 114 yards and a touchdown on five catches. Ruggiero and Kilpatrick each caught six balls, with Ruggiero securing two scores and 81 yards to Kilpatrick's one score and 75 yards. Kevin Vogelsang rounded out Tech's aerial circus with five receptions for 87 yards.
Josh Harris rushed 26 times for 114 yards to pace the Nichols offense, while Jon Snediker completed 8-of-20 for 108 yards from behind center. Bryan Muese led all defenders with 14 tackles in leading the Bison defense. MIT was led defensively by senior Brennan Sherry. Playing in his final home game along with Tech's other fourth-year players, Sherry had a team-best 10 tackles and a pass break-up.

In This Week's 'Ask Amy,' Amy Poehler Waxes Poetic on Goodbyes [VIDEO]
You know it's going to be a good Friday when there's a new episode of 'Ask Amy.' This time, our cuter-than-cute hostess, Amy Poehler, takes us to a very sweet "after school special" kind of place and says some rather poignant things about how to say goodbye to a chapter of your life that's coming to a close.
AP isn't saying goodbye to anything herself -- although she may need to say hello to a desk lamp here -- she's just being all wisdomous about life to help one of her viewers.
Goodbyes are hard, but Amy says that nothing is forever, no one ever really leaves and the only thing we can count on is change. And of course she's right. As per usual.
Oh, and get out your Quote of the Day calendar for today, cross off whatever crap is on it and write in this final thought gem instead: "Life is just a series of moments. A string of pearls that make up the necklace of your life. Every once in a while, to complete the circle, you need to end a chapter."
Then watch to the end of the vid for a super cute greeting from a teeny redheaded cherub to start your weekend off right.

Philip Rivers is not the problem.
Mike McCoy won't tell you much about his new team, but he'll definitely tell you that.
"Number one, I think everyone around him has to play better," McCoy said last month at the NFL owners meetings and has said in varying incantations several times since being hired in January. "… The entire team has to play better to help the quarterback out. Whether it's protection, having a good running game, certain routes, receivers not dropping balls …"
My certainty that Rivers is an elite quarterback is thoroughly documented. If you think I am advocating for his time in San Diego to be winding down, you are either illiterate or willfully ignorant.
But I believe he needs a really good 2013 for the new Chargers' bosses to commit to him long term.
I spent the week in New York with the punchless Padres. But I hear I caused something of a stir back here when I didn't pull punches on the NFL Network, saying the new Chargers regime's unwillingness to restructure the quarterback's contract to create cap space is a sign of their unwillingness to commit to him long term.
Even the President of the RFC (Rivers Fan Club, of which I would be chairman emeritus) would have to say you couldn't really blame them.
Whatever we say about his leaky line and rotating receivers, his interception percentage was fifth-highest among starting quarterbacks over the past two seasons.
But this most certainly is not just about Rivers.
The new Chargers brain trust brainstormed about restructuring a few guys. Besides Rivers, the contracts of Eric Weddle and Jeromey Clary could provide some room for wiggle. But the bosses decided they didn't need to.
Or want to.
And, for now, it seems prudent to not have mortgaged the future. With apologies to the 140-character patience of today's sports fan, this new group needs time to rebuild the roster.
The Chargers officially have about $6 million in cap space but in reality have the equivalent of $7.5 million when accounting for signing their rookies and pushing the biggest chunk of Jared Gaither's dead weight to 2014.
That's enough dough to put under the mattress in case of emergency (an injury relief fund, if you will) and get Donald Butler extended, plus maybe add tackle Eric Winston or another moderately priced veteran.
But it is not adequate funds to fill all the holes they have.
Reworking Rivers' deal — getting relief on his $17.1 million cap number in exchange for upfront cash and more years on his deal — would simply push what they owe him into a future where salaries are rising at a faster rate than the cap.
The only reason to do that is if the team felt it was a player or two away from being elite in 2013 and had identified those certain special one or two players to sign.
That's just not the case.
My one qualm, however, has to do with Rivers.
I mean, having not signed any of the top free agent tackles or guards, we are left to have faith new General Manager Tom Telesco must have a grand plan for building his offensive line through the draft. And, truthfully, we must be willing to wait until at least then to judge the teqam's offseason.
However, if the Chargers go into the season with an offensive line bookended by King Dunlap and Jeromey Clary, I cannot for the life of me figure out why they would even keep Rivers in '13.
They absolutely must know they can still get a couple more good linemen. If not, what they have done amounts to negligence, malpractice, suicide by stupidity.
Because if they were absolutely convinced that Rivers is their man, they could easily have reworked his deal. He would not have sought to fleece them.
The team has more cap room awaiting them in coming years. And after Butler, the line forming for long-term contracts is not long. Yes, the Chargers will want to extend Corey Liuget sooner than later but have two years to do so.
But fact is, the rebuilding they're doing is for the long-term future — not primarily 2013 — and they are not entirely convinced Rivers is the man to lead them into that future.

USA Today HSS: Best High School Football Coach
When Philip Haywood first heard he was among 408 candidates for USA TODAY High School Sports' first-ever Best High School Football Coach competition, he figured he wouldn't last long because his community of Belfry, Ky., probably was too small to garner many votes.
He's rethinking that notion 2,332,660 votes later.
Haywood posted the most votes nationally in each round, including the final round that wrapped up Tuesday. A total of 12,501,928 votes were cast throughout the competition, including more than 3 million in the final round. Haywood received 1,529,789 votes in the final round, holding off a late-charging Kevin Lynott of Middletown, Md., who came in second with 1,311,825 votes in the national round.
"We have a team saying and this fits in with it well," Haywood said. "We tell our team, 'It's not about me, it's not about you, it's about us.' I think that is what our community feels about the football program and that is what this is about."
Belfry is an unincorporated community in Pike County, Ky., smack in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. It is more a cluster of tiny communities feeding into the school rather than its own separate town, and the area relies heavily on the coal-mining industry.
"We've been hit hard in recent years," Haywood said. "Something like this, as a community, it gives you a little perk. The whole community felt like this could be a ray of sunshine in tough times."
Haywood has been coaching at Belfry for 29 years, after spending nine years as the head coach in his hometown of Prestonsburg, Ky. His overall career record is 371-125, with two state titles in eight trips to the championship game.
His run through the monthlong best coach contest was equally impressive.
Roughly 4.5 million votes were cast during the regional round, with Haywood receiving the most in the country at 653,111. He edged Mike Lalor of Stillman Valley (Stillman, Ill.) in Region Four, as Lalor received 642,342 votes in what turned out to be a heated race to the final buzzer.
The other regional winners were Jim Hightower of St. Thomas More in Lafayette, La., Mike Herrington of Hart in Newhall, Calif., Rick Jones of Greenwood, Ark., Jim Hoover of Walton, N.Y., Lynott of Middletown, Md., Marcus Boyles of Petal, Miss., and Jeff Van Leur of Bridgewater Emery Ethan in Emery, S.D.
The regional round lasted nine days on the heels of a state round in which fans cast approximately 4.8 million total votes. The leading vote-getter among the 408 coaches in the state round was again Haywood with 149,760.
USA TODAY staffers selected eight active head football coaches in each state and Washington, D.C. after more than a month of conversations with local media and other state/school officials with high school football expertise. From there, the fans decided which coach emerged from a list of 408.
The Belfry athletic department will receive $2,000 for Haywood's victory. Second through fifth places also receive cash prizes for the athletic departments: second ($1,000), third ($500), fourth ($250) and fifth ($100). All eight finalists receive banners for their schools.
The "Best Of" contest series launched last November with the best high school football rivalry competition, won by Brookfield vs. Marceline in Missouri. The teams celebrated their national title rivalry on Sept. 13 in Brookfield. In January, Hartford (Vt.) was crowned as the People's Champion high school football team. And the monster of them all – the top high school mascot last spring – was won by the Centralia (Ill.) Orphans after 80 million total votes were cast during the competition.

Hi Ike,
what a lovely image. Very crisp and clear and I love the pose you've captured. Great POV and composition. Great note too,
PaulVDV (48546) 2014-02-09 2:30
Hello Ike,
A clear and sharp picture of these birds with their wings spread open.
Also on the pic in the workshop they take the same position. Possibly they want to dry their feathers in the sun.
Beautiful with the rippled green river water on the background.
Best regards, Paul
ourania (51103) 2014-02-09 2:42
Hello Ike,
a lovely and amusing scene against a backdrop of luminous, rippling reflections. It's like the two black cormorants are performing a dance to impress the duck but she isn't interested:) Sharpness is excellent and your angle has enhanced the sense of depth too. I like very much the layout of the scene, the chromatic contrast is wonderful. The workshop picture is unusual and lovely too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Royaldevon (63221) 2014-02-09 3:10
Good Morning Ike,
I do love the way these cormorants hold out their wings to dry! They look to be performing a well orchestrated duet!
You have captured their plumage details really well, the glossy, iridescent feathers catching the light beautifully.
A very well chosen, pov which gives a diagonal composition.
How sad that the duck is not impressed by their performance!
Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)
jhm (189863) 2014-02-09 3:13
Hello Ike,
Black Cormorants are the foe of the fishermen in Belgium.
She eat almost everyday their own weight at fish.
Every lake here in my area become the Cormorants chased.
The open wings is for the heat of the sun.
Composition and presentation make these picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice Sunday,
snunney (130965) 2014-02-09 3:30
Hello Ike,
Great capture of this pair of cormorants flexing their wings. The tight crop concentrates the attention whilst the lighting is perfect to bring out the detail and nuances of tone in the plumage. The duck swimming away is a plus.
timecapturer (49288) 2014-02-09 3:31
Hello Ike
delightful shot of these two cormorants drying their wings. Fascinating birds that I can sit and watch on my river for hours. Strangely I never see them in pairs like this. Wonderfully captured and detailed image.
Enjoy your Sunday - B.
Romano46 (18472) 2014-02-09 3:47
Ciao Ike
in una tua precedente foto che go commentato recentemente.
Ora hai fatto il bis con due cormorani e non solo...
Bella sia la scena che la composizione e la nitidezza che permette di osservare gli ucceli con molti dettagliu.
Molto belli anche i colori.
Ciao e buona domenica
mirosu (16313) 2014-02-09 3:48
Hi Ike,
The Black Cormorants are in superb light. Thank excellent light and focusing the plumage came excellently out. Also the arrangement with nice water backdrop is very good. I like it very much.
Well done.

Hello Ike, very good picture of these beautiful cormorants drying their feathers in the sun, very well captured in this beautiful image with good sharpness, light and color. Very good job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this interesting work.
Good evening and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.
mesutilgim (114644) 2014-02-09 4:29
Hello Ike,
Good observed and captured !
The cormorans are also one of the most dominant seabirds here in İstanbul. You can see them with wide opened wings like sunprayers on rocks .
TFS and have a nice weekend
pierrefonds (92357) 2014-02-09 4:54
Hi Ike,
The tight frame is putting the birds in evidence. The point of view is showing with precision the details and colours of the Cormorants. The good luminosity is making the colours to shine. Have a nice day.
emilbo (22616) 2014-02-09 8:41

Toutes mes amitiés et bonne semaine,
Miguel82 (34190) 2014-02-09 10:29
These cormorants are drying their feathers Ike, they are highly skilled fishing birds diving to capture their prey, a duck is also visible on the left of the frame it doesn't eat the same food, good nature report, all the best, enjoy your sunday evening
elenimavrandoni (0) 2014-02-09 12:08
Ike, just the other day I saw cormorants like this here in San Diego Bay and I was amazed by their friendliness, they were not scared by the human presence at all...nice and very natural picture and the duck is a great highlight!!
all the very best to you and today I have a big smiley for you!!
jcpix (14030) 2014-02-09 13:44
Hi Ike,
Smart birds, they surely must have known what you were up to with your camera and decided to put on a show. :) I'll give them credit too, it's quite an impressive display...in fact, it would appear as if they've rehearsed this routine. haha
The duck doesn't seem to be impressed though as he's swimming away in the opposite direction. Oh well, I guess the show's not for everyone, right? :) As with the previous picture of this Commorant, I love the strong colors and contrast...the rippled and slightly blurred background is a terrific accompaniment to the scene. Sharply detailed and well exposed. Have a great week ahead. Take good care.
Friendly wishes,
eldancer1 (36343) 2014-02-09 14:44
I think those cormorants are showing off their muscles. I've seen them do that all the time. Good timing and capture with good details. Well done, tfs.
mcmtanyel (53162) 2014-02-09 16:58
Hello Ike,
An excellent zoom photo, congratulations on your steady hands that captured such a sharp photo w/o a tripod. Excellent timing, the cormorants look ready to hug the duck.
Waylim (25436) 2014-02-09 17:12
Hi Ike,
Very nice photo of these two cormorants with their wing open to draw like they are doing a synchronization dance. Love the water background with green reflections. Very nice details and good composition.
clic (22664) 2014-02-09 17:25
Hello Ike
Were they chasing away the duck or displaying their bodies in a form of indecency to the indifferent bird?
In every instance, they form an attractive trio captured with subtle dark tones, which is very difficult to realize on black plumage.
Oceania (5202) 2014-02-10 7:33
Hi Ike,
These two birds seem like in a synchronizing dancing, very interesting. The duck on the river is a nice addition. Also, the color of the reflections on the water is very soothing. It's a very nice picture.
nikkitta (17070) 2014-02-10 15:06
Hola Ike
Such charming and well seen capture, taken at the right moment when the two cormorans are in the same proud position as in the WS
Only place I saw these birds was in China
Well done , have a great week
Kamilutka (8107) 2014-02-10 23:02
Hi Ike,
you had absolutely professional models for this picture I must say :-) The cormorants obviously try to look their best spreading their wings in tandem. The duck however seems to be uninterested.
Very well captured moment and beauty of these lovely birds. Nice sharpness and pretty and natural colors.
I like this strong foreground and little duck completing the composition.
Thanks for sharing
fabbs99 (17179) 2014-02-10 23:48

Dear Ike
hehehe Evil twins ganging up on the lone duck. They really seem to be bullying the poor dick to get out of their territory. Beautiful colours and I like the light shining on their gleaming plumage. Well done.
Warmest wishes
UlfE (14641) 2014-02-11 12:17
Hi Ike,
Usually the most exciting bird photos are those where the birds are acting, swimming, flying, feeding fighting hunting etc. Here you have not only one acting bird but three. Repeated forms are also very attractive. Here not only the comorants are in tandem but also the the "things" on which they are sitting. Very well spotted. TFS and have a nice evening!
Kind regards,
adramad (62062) 2014-02-12 8:17
Hello Ike,
A fascinating image, with this great picture of the cormorant, wings ready to take flight, you caught a great time, lovely duck picture, nothing like that was all around him, beautiful hue of the water as background ,

Well done. I love it.
Have a good day.

abmdsudi (80786) 2014-08-23 8:16
Hi Ike
This shot reminds me of south China where local fishermen use cormorants - the old traditional method to hunt for fish in the illuminated river water. Excellent feather detail, sharp in focus to make it works as a pair in lovely warmer colour balance on a pretty bright day and great contrast to obtain deep blacks. Apart from that, the water is so glorious and I love the little breathing space on the left improving the whole compo. Great nature shot so seamlessly executed. Congrats, TFS
Ps; Thks for your extra notes; extremely a sad commentary on current conflict of very tense situation there and really hard to imagine that, Let's pray that things get sorted out soonest possible. You and your family do take good care.
Warm regards
swapankumarroy (3769) 2014-10-03 7:34

Ike, boa tarde!
Em minha última viagem, no centro-oeste do Brasil, vi bastante de um pássaro dessa mesma família. Aqui ele tem o nome de Biguá. Em relação a sua foto, a composição é muito legal, com os cormorões secando suas penas e o pato mais ao fundo. Boa luz.

Martinsville unlocks power of landfill trash
- March 28, 2012
- |
Martinsville isn't letting 1.7 million tons of trash in its closed landfill go to waste.
In February, the city switched on a generator to produce 1 megawatt of electricity, enough to power up to 1,000 homes, by burning methane gas seeping from its landfill in Henry County during the next 10 years. This gas is a result of bacteria breaking down 33 years worth of organic municipal sludge and household waste.
"This is using a resource that was just lying there and was going to be a liability to the city and turning it into something good, something that has value: power from trash," says Leon Towarnicki, Martinsville's interim city manager.
The $2.5 million project became feasible thanks to $1 million in federal stimulus money awarded through the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy.
The new power source comes at a time when the city's electric rate more than doubled in a new contract with American Municipal Power. Towarnicki projects the city's $1.5 million investment would be paid back through electricity cost savings in less than five years with the generator running 24/7 at 95 percent capacity.
The city also can sell carbon credits the project earns for removing methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. (Burning methane releases carbon dioxide and water vapor.)
One carbon credit is worth a ton of carbon dioxide equivalent. In 18 months of flaring the methane after installing a gas collection system in 2010, the city has kept the equivalent of 48,000 tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, says Jeff Joyce, the assistant public works director. The city will wait to sell the carbon credits until their value increases, depending on national policy and market demand.
Martinsville is not unique in its use of methane to generate electricity. Thirty sites in Virginia and 577 across the country are operational, according to the most recent data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Yet, with the new Patriot Centre industrial park less than a mile away from the former landfill site, Towarnicki hopes the project demonstrates to prospective companies the city's progressive thinking. Martinsville is trying to transform its economy after the loss of thousands of furniture and textiles manufacturing jobs in recent decades. The city, with 16.7 percent of its work force jobless in December, has the highest unemployment rate in the state.
"To me, it shows the mindset of the community in regard to how we view the future," Towarnicki said.
