The Fire Investigation Division is charged with determining the origin and cause of fires throughout the State. Fire investigators also serve as instructors for local fire departments and law enforcement agencies, collect evidence at fire scenes, collaborate with other state and federal agencies, conduct criminal investigations and provide public education.
Most Kansas fire departments and law enforcement agencies do not have a certified fire investigator on staff, and they will request our assistance when they suspect a fire had an incendiary cause, when fatality or serious injury occurs, and when property damage is severe.
When a determination is made that a fire was caused by arson, a careful and complete investigation will follow. In cooperation with local law enforcement officials and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, our investigators will completely evaluate the fire scene for evidence and conduct interviews.
Arson is a complex crime, sometimes committed as part of an insurance fraud; sometimes committed to conceal other crimes such as burglary, embezzlement or even homicide.
Fire Investigators with the OSFM are sworn law enforcement officers and carry out all aspects of criminal investigations, including the arrest and conviction of arsonists. The Investigation Division conducts polygraph examinations in relation to these criminal investigations.
The Investigation Division maintains investigative files and databases for investigations and both explosive and fireworks licensing. The division utilizes the NCIC system for background checks on all explosive and fireworks licensing applications. The Investigation Division works and cooperates with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in reference to investigations, data sharing, and licensing.
The Investigation Division provides experienced fire investigators to assist local fire departments and law enforcement agencies in the investigation of fires and explosions. This assistance is provided when a request is made by the local jurisdiction. Our fire investigators conduct criminal investigations when the incident is determined to be criminal in nature, such as arson.
This team also certifies fire investigators for local fire departments. This certification allows investigators to have law enforcement authority when conducting fire investigations. There are currently two certification levels: CFI I and CFI II.

What To Expect From a Toddler of a Drug User?
What can I expect from a toddler whose mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol during pregnancy? What problems may occur in development and behavior? We are experiencing at 16 months, all he wants to do is squeal and scream. He was always such a happy & content infant. Is there a book you could recommend on what I should look for in the future development of this child?
This is a very important question and one where there is little that can be specifically recommended other than getting a very thorough pediatric / developmental psychology evaluation and monitoring with regular follow-up. There are many resources available to read about the vast spectrum of possible symptoms … reading about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect would be a good start. Also several reports have been written by Lynn Singer, PhD, about cocaine effected pregnancy and childhood outcomes. Unfortunately, all of these resources really will just help describe a spectrum of possibilities.Getting a thorough evaluation by an assessment team is most important. This is because there are often many home / school / physical therapy / occupational therapy / teaching / early childhood development and psychology interventions that can help modify the current situation and really improve future outcomes for this toddler.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Reuters) - Proponents of legalizing medical marijuana in Arkansas are hoping that 2012 is their lucky year.
After failed attempts to get the issue certified as a ballot initiative, a new group, Arkansans for Compassionate Care, has succeeded in clearing the first hurdle - getting Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel to certify the proposal's ballot language.
The next step starts on Tuesday when the group begins to collect the required minimum of 62,507 signatures from registered voters. The group has until July 6, 2012 to submit them to the attorney general's office in order to qualify the proposal for the November 2012 general election ballot.
"We want to ensure that sick and dying patients in Arkansas have the ability to get the medicine they need and that is sometimes medical marijuana," said Ryan Denham, campaign director for Arkansans for Compassionate Care.
But Jerry Cox, president of the Arkansas Family Council, a conservative group based in Little Rock, said that legalizing marijuana for medical use makes the drug more available for recreational use.
"Any individual who can acquire, grow or own his own marijuana is one step away from sharing with his friends who may not have any medical issues," Cox said.
California was the first state to allow marijuana for medical use in 1996, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Since then, 15 states and the District of Columbia have passed similar laws.
In Arkansas, a medical marijuana initiative has never appeared on the statewide election ballot. A group tried to get the issue on the ballot in 2004 but failed to get enough signatures.
"I think public opinion has really shifted since then," Denham said. "More people are supportive and we have a very diverse group of geographical volunteers to gather signatures."
Signatures must come from at least 15 counties in the state. Denham says the group has more than 300 volunteers so far, along with 60 patients who are willing to share their stories in order to recruit more people to the cause.
Denham said the group modeled its legislation after Maine and Arizona laws.
Like those states, Denham said, Arkansas' proposed legislation would have a strict list of conditions people must have to be able to use medical marijuana, such as cancer or AIDS.
California has faced problems with controlling its number of dispensaries, but Denham said the Arkansas bill would cap its number at 30 for the state.
"We wanted to avoid the pitfalls that we have seen in Colorado and California about how many dispensaries there are," he said. "We also have a mechanism that allows cities and counties to ban dispensaries."
Aside from dispensaries, patients who are sick and have been prescribed medical marijuana by a doctor could also grow their own plants with a limit of six at a time per patient.

Stored programs and views are defined prior to use and, when
referenced, execute within a security context that determines
their privileges. These privileges are controlled by their
DEFINER attribute, and, if there is one, their
SQL SECURITY characteristic.
All stored programs (procedures, functions, and triggers) and
views can have a
DEFINER attribute that names a
MySQL account. If the
DEFINER attribute is
omitted from a stored program or view definition, the default
account is the user who creates the object.
In addition, stored routines (procedures and functions) and views
can have a
SQL SECURITY characteristic with a
value of
DEFINER or
to specify whether the object executes in definer or invoker
context. If the
SQL SECURITY characteristic is
omitted, the default is definer context.
Triggers have no
SQL SECURITY characteristic
and always execute in definer context. The server invokes these
objects automatically as necessary, so there is no invoking user.
Definer and invoker security contexts differ as follows:
A stored program or view that executes in definer security
context executes with the privileges of the account named by
DEFINER attribute. These privileges may
be entirely different from those of the invoking user. The
invoker must have appropriate privileges to reference the
object (for example,
EXECUTE to
call a stored procedure or
SELECT to select from a view),
but when the object executes, the invoker's privileges are
ignored and only the
DEFINER account
privileges matter. If this account has few privileges, the
object is correspondingly limited in the operations it can
perform. If the
DEFINER account is highly
privileged (such as a
root account), the
object can perform powerful operations no matter who
invokes it.
A stored routine or view that executes in invoker security
context can perform only operations for which the invoker has
privileges. The
DEFINER attribute can be
specified but has no effect for objects that execute in
invoker context.
Consider the following stored procedure:
CREATE DEFINER = 'admin'@'localhost' PROCEDURE p1() SQL SECURITY DEFINER BEGIN UPDATE t1 SET counter = counter + 1; END;
Any user who has the
privilege for
p1 can invoke it with a
CALL statement. However, when
p1 executes, it does so in
DEFINER security context and thus executes with
the privileges of
'admin'@'localhost', the
account named in the
DEFINER attribute. This
account must have the
privilege for
p1 as well as the
UPDATE privilege for the table
t1. Otherwise, the procedure fails.
Now consider this stored procedure, which is identical to
p1 except that its
SECURITY characteristic is
CREATE DEFINER = 'admin'@'localhost' PROCEDURE p2() SQL SECURITY INVOKER BEGIN UPDATE t1 SET counter = counter + 1; END;
p2, unlike
p1, executes in
INVOKER security context. The
DEFINER attribute is irrelevant and
p2 executes with the privileges of the invoking
p2 fails if the invoker lacks the
EXECUTE privilege for
p2 or the
privilege for the table
MySQL uses the following rules to control which accounts a user
can specify in an object
DEFINER attribute:
You can specify a
DEFINER value other than
your own account only if you have the
SUPER privilege.
If you do not have the
privilege, the only legal user value is your own account,
either specified literally or by using
CURRENT_USER. You cannot set
the definer to some other account.
To minimize the risk potential for stored program and view creation and use, follow these guidelines:
For a stored routine or view, use
INVOKER in the object definition when possible so
that it can be used only by users with permissions appropriate
for the operations performed by the object.
If you create definer-context stored programs or views while
using an account that has the
SUPER privilege, specify an
DEFINER attribute that names an
account possessing only the privileges required for the
operations performed by the object. Specify a highly
DEFINER account only when
absolutely necessary.
Administrators can prevent users from specifying highly
DEFINER accounts by not granting
them the
SUPER privilege.
Definer-context objects should be written keeping in mind that they may be able to access data for which the invoking user has no privileges. In some cases, you can prevent reference to these objects by not granting unauthorized users particular privileges:
However, no such control exists for triggers because users do
not reference them directly. A trigger always executes in
DEFINER context and is activated by access
to the table with which it is associated, even ordinary table
accesses by users with no special privileges. If the
DEFINER account is highly privileged, the
trigger can perform sensitive or dangerous operations. This
remains true if the
privilege needed to create the trigger is revoked from the
account of the user who created it. Administrators should be
especially careful about granting users that privilege.

Hollywood's streets are paved with the album inserts and broken dreams of one-hit wonders. But this ambitious music video from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis shows the Seattle-based pair has no intention of going anywhere but up. The red-hot hip-hop duo has just released the "Can't Hold Us" single—the first since their breakout hit "Thrift Shop"—and it's spectacular.
"We just went for it," Macklemore told MTV News. "This was over a 16-day music video shoot," (across six continents no less) Lewis added. "It was a huge project; it was cut all over the place. We started cutting at South By Southwest, in a little hotel room, and we've been finishing it ever since, or trying to finish it. It's just been a massive project."
Can't Hold Us is the second single off of 2012's album The Heist. [Apple, Amazon, Google]

Sicce HyperCure Herbal Ick Stop, 15 oz.
HyperCure eliminates ich the all-natural way, without harsh chemicals. Easy-to-use HyperCure treats the following common diseases in freshwater and marine aquariums:
• Freshwater Ich (Ichthyophthiriasis)
• Saltwater Ich (Cryptocaryoniasis)
• Velvet (Gold Dust Disease, dinoflagelliasis)
• Protozoan parasites (Trichodiniasis and others)
• Fungus (Saprolegniasis)
Always use with a high quality water conditioner and/or ammonia remover for optimum results without undesirable chemistry conflicts.
• All-natural formula
• Treats both freshwater and saltwater ich
• Treats other common aquatic diseases
• Environmentally friendly formulation
• No harsh chemicals
• Safe for all fish
• Non-staining, no more blue silicone
Facts About Ich
In both freshwater and saltwater fish, ich is caused by a microscopic, free-swimming parasite that attaches itself to the skin and gills of fish in order to reproduce. Although the attached stage does the damage, the parasite can only be treated while it is in the free-swimming stage. The life cycle of the parasite can last from a week to several weeks, depending upon different factors. For this reason, we recommend continuing treatment for at least 10 day, or for three days after visible signs of the disease are gone.
Treating Reef Aquariums
All treatments are safest and best performed in a separate quarantine aquarium. HyperCure has been tested with several species of corals and filter-feeding invertebrates. While no adverse reactions were observed, it is impossible to evaluate any product with every invertebrate species available for aquariums. If no quarantine tank is available, product may be added to a reef aquarium. Observe carefully and perform a large water change if adverse reaction occurs.
One capful (5 ml) treats 10 gallons. DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSAGE
Maintain filtration, but remove any activated carbon in use.
Change at least 30% of the water in the tank before you begin treatment. Test tank for pH, ammonia, and nitrite and make any needed adjustments or perform water changes while treating.
Add measured dose of HyperCure to the tank. Repeat treatment at least every 24 hours, but can be repeated in as little as 8 hours if conditions warrant. Do not exceed 2 treatments within 24 hours.
Continue treatment for 10 days or for three days after visible signs of the disease are gone. Change 30-50% of water and restore carbon filtration, if used, at end of treatment period.
CAUTION: Do not use with other medications. May be harmful to some filter feeding invertebrates. If stress is observed, discontinue treatment and perform a 50% water change. Treat fish in separate quarantine tank from invertebrates.
IF SWALLOWED: Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water or milk and induce vomiting. Do NOT induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. In case of contact, flush skin or eyes with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes. In case of eye contact, get immediate medical attention.
CONTAINS: Proprietary herbal mixture in aqueous solution.
Store between 60-110°F For use in aquariums and ponds only. Not for human or veterinary medical application. Do not use on food fish.
Do not use with sulfur or sulfite-based water conditioners.
16 oz. (Treats up to 960 gallons.)

The Duke of Cambridge will undertake engagements in Yorkshire on 4th June.
As patron of SkillForce, The Duke's first meeting will be at Goole High School, to launch the SkillForce Junior Prince's Award. The award is part of a unique programme to develop character and resilience in school children at primary school, which includes young people who are potentially vulnerable, by encouraging confidence and community involvement throughout their school careers. Thi launch of the award is to mark the charity's 10th birthday.
Inspired by the D-Day landings, which 2014 will mark the 70th anniversary, the former Search-and-Rescue Pilot will witness a hands-on challenge to build a bridge over a barrier. William will meet with those participating in the school's Duke of Edinburgh Award too.
Later on, he will move to Centrepoint Bradford Foyer to learn about youth homelessness in the area. William is also patron of Centrpoint, and last in 2011 he made a surprise visit to a centre, and 'threw some shapes' with a youth there, while wife Catherine looked on.
He will also participate in a video skills workshop, and see how the charity helps to try and break the cycle that leads to homelessness and unemployment through an employability workshop for the young people in the area.
This will be the first engagement for The Duke since brushing shoulders with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Watson and Ralph Lauren at a reception held at Windsor Castle for The Royal Marsden.

Apothecary Hymns
Monday, May 23rd, 2005, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Blend a touch of "Strawberry Fields" -era psych-pop, an epic storytelling sensibility, and a sweet vocal delivery, and you end up with the essence of the one man band Apothecary Hymns (aka Alex Stimmel). According to Locust Music, which just released Apothecary Hymns' debut album 'Trowel and Era,' "Stimmel has made a collection with one foot in kaleidoscopic coastal loner psych that floats on a musical bed of whimsical levity and another foot rooted firmly in the grand ethos of East Village troubadours of the mid 60s. Alex arrives with a duo to play live in the WFMU studios on Monday at 4 PM.
The Hungry March Band
Saturday, May 21st, 2005, 8pm - 11pm

Bailey has been keeping the Saints going since '77 and is bringing them to the USA (and to WFMU!) after a successful Euro tour earlier this year. After their set, stick around for more live music from The Giant Haystacks, an Oakland California band that plays jangly, catchy, and propulsive postpunkpop, drawing comparisons to the Minutemen, Mission of Burma, and Gang of Four.

on Brian Turner
When not working as a dealer in occult print ephemera, Sir Richard Bishop maintains a stately, world-traveling existence as 1/3 of the Sun City Girls. He also moonlights as a purveyor of solo improvisational guitar whose style can be said to be more informed by the spirit of the films of Peckinpah and Jodorowsky than any clinical axeman influence. In town for shows at Joe's Pub on May 3rd and Maxwells in Hoboken on the 4th, Bishop visits Brian in the WFMU studios for an afternoon of tying together the worlds of Morocco, the Middle East, and Morricone.

Mark Achbar, director of the film "The Corporation"
Monday, May 9th, 2005, 6pm - 7pm
on The Speakeasy with Dorian
Exploring the inner workings of big business, "The Corporation" looks at how, since its inception in the mid-1800s, the corporation has risen from a relatively insignificant entity to an over-protected behemoth wielding power that challenges that of governments and institutions worldwide. Based on Joel Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power", the film (via interviews with both leading corporate gurus and prominent social critics like Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and Milton Friedman) spins a disturbing tale of the ways big business influences everything from the economy and the environment to the smallest facets of our everyday lives.
Adrian Crowley
Monday, May 9th, 2005, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Sonorous and sweet, Adrian Crowley's music skirts the edge of the melancholic side of life without self pity.

David Hykes, followed by Las Rubias Del Norte
Monday, April 18th, 2005, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
A double-header today for Irene. First, composer and educator David Hykes drops in. David has mastered overtone singing known as Harmonic Chant, the skill developed by Tibetan monks and Mongolian nomads that allows them to sing low and high notes simultaneously. Hykes and his ensemble The Harmonic Choir are celebrating their 30th year of creating enlightenment-dedicated music and we'll talk about the month-long festival devoted to his work at the Rubin Museum (which is dedicated to Art of the Himalayas). Then, Las Rubias Del Norte storm and swoon their way through a mixture of boleros, cha-cha-cha, cumbias with lieder, and cowboy songs. The ensemble is lifted by the angelic voices of Allyssa Lamb and Emily Hurst, two renegades from the NY Choral Society, while the band boys from Brooklyn, France and Colombia hold up their musical backbone.

The Undertones
Saturday, April 16th, 2005, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
In 1976, a bunch of Irish teenagers formed what would be one of the best bands to come out of the punk movement. The Undertones songs captured youthful angst, love, and joy in a three minute pop song. Its telling that the Undertones' "Teenage Kicks" was uber-DJ John Peel's favorite song. Though Undertones broke up in 1983, they reformed in 2003 with all original band members except for a new singer. They have written a clutch of great new songs while still playing the classic favorites and bringing their brilliant brand of punk pop to a new generation.

Heston Rifle
Thursday, March 31st, 2005, 11pm - 2am
on Pat Duncan's show
Heston Rifle look like five regular people. That's why it's all the more confounding when they pick up their instruments and without a word let loose a barrage of deep melodic noise that's beautiful, unorthodox, and seemingly of another sonic realm. Over skittering drums, vicious repeating rhythmic phrases, and a wandering violin that conveys ghostly expanses and tragic insistence, these NY sound sculptors create crescendos for an urgent future. It's post-rock without the presupposition of easy listening.

Tony Gwynn and a habit all too common in baseball
Gwynn told ESPN chewing tobacco probably gave him cancer
Jacque Wilson | 6/18/2014, 6 a.m.
(CNN) Padres fans remember Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn's hitting prowess: 3,141 hits, a .338 batting average and an intense focus at the plate.
What they probably don't remember is Gwynn using smokeless tobacco throughout his career -- a habit, Gwynn told ESPN in 2010, that probably gave him cancer. Gwynn's use doesn't specifically come to mind because so many of his fellow Major League Baseball players had the same habit.
A survey administered in 1999 found that close to one-third of rookies starting in the major leagues were already regular smokeless tobacco users. More than two-thirds had tried smokeless tobacco. Other studies found similar rates -- about 30% -- in the majors in the '70s and '80s, though smokeless tobacco use among players began declining in the late 1990s (PDF).
But it wasn't until 2011 that MLB implemented rules related to smokeless tobacco products. Worried about the message it was sending to young fans, MLB collaborated with the Major League Baseball Players Association to prohibit teams from providing tobacco to players. Players cannot have tobacco tins in their uniforms or do interviews while using chewing tobacco.
Yet the players' union stopped short of banning tobacco use on the field altogether.
Smokeless tobacco is the general term for two products: chewing tobacco and snuff. Though snuff can be inhaled through the nose, most users place smokeless tobacco in their mouth and suck on it, periodically spitting out the juices.
Smokeless tobacco contains 28 carcinogens, according to the CDC, and is a known cause of oral cancer.
Smokeless tobacco is primarily a male habit, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2012, approximately 11% of high school boys used smokeless tobacco; only 1.5% of girls did. Nationally, an estimated 6% of adult men use smokeless tobacco, compared with just 1% of women.
"Current use of smokeless tobacco is about half of what it was in the mid-1990s," the CDC Youth and Tobacco use website states. "However, only a modest decline has occurred since 2010 and no change occurred between 2012 and 2013."
Gwynn was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. ESPN reported at the time that the then-50-year-old faced chemotherapy and radiation to fight the "slow-moving but aggressive" cancer in his salivary gland.
He isn't the only former ballplayer to battle oral cancer. Most notably, Babe Ruth, Brett Butler and Bill Tuttle were all diagnosed after years of chewing tobacco use. Butler became a passionate advocate against tobacco after he returned to the field following treatment, according to the Oral Cancer Foundation.
Still, players say the habit is hard to break.
"I use it as a stimulator when I go to hit," Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz told the Boston Globe. "But the minute I finish my at-bat, I spit it out. It keeps me smooth and puts me in a good mood. I don't do it in the offseason. I don't really like it that much, to be honest with you."
Nicotine, the addictive substance found in cigarettes, occurs naturally in all tobacco.
"Over time, a person becomes physically dependent on and emotionally addicted to nicotine," according to the American Cancer Society.
Those who do try to quit experience withdrawal, often for weeks after their last spit or chew. Withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, dizziness, depression, headaches and weight gain, according to the American Cancer Society.

It is the first full month for professional soccer and lacrosse seasons at Sahlen's Stadium, and Pat Ercoli is in the middle of it.
A former player, and a coach and general manager for the Rochester Rhinos, Ercoli, 55, is president and chief operating officer of the Rhinos' corporate parent, Adirondack Sports Club LLC.
He oversees 10 full-time stadium employees and as many as 300 contractual workers on-site for an event. In addition, he handles the stadium's operations and scheduling and is the top Adirondack Sports executive in Rochester now that Rhinos owner and CEO Robert Clark has returned to Utica as senior vice president of retail banking at Adirondack Bancorp Inc.
"At this time of year, I'll try to take a day off here or there, depending on how the events fall," says Ercoli, a Greece resident. "But it's hard to do that because you're working the weekend, and during the week is when most other people are working. You're trying to schedule appointments for sponsorship deals and things like that."
The Oak Street stadium has been home to the Rhinos since it opened in 2006. The team plays in the United Soccer Leagues, a notch below top-tier Major League Soccer.
It also is home to the Western New York Flash of the fledgling National Women's Soccer League. The Flash is based in Buffalo and owned by Joseph Sahlen, president of Sahlen Packing Co. Inc. The Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse are the stadium's third professional tenant.
"Pat has brought a great deal of stability, local knowledge and business acumen to the position and has gone a long way in securing a long-term vision for the franchise and the stadium," Clark says. "He's doing a fabulous job."
Ercoli, coach from the Rhinos' inception in 1996 through 2004, returned to the organization in October 2009 as general manager after four years as a business owner in the Rochester area. He became president and COO in November 2010.
"That corporate environment is pretty demanding and pretty different than the professional sports environment," Ercoli says of his former businesses. "But, in general, it comes back to leading people and taking care of customers and making sure you're servicing people the right way.
"It's the same way in this industry. Whether you're a player or president of a company or one of the employees in the company, it's all about servicing the person and enjoying what you're doing and having a passion for it."
Scoring key deals
The Rhinos were the stadium's only drawing card when Ercoli rejoined Adirondack Sports in 2009. But Clark had reached an agreement to bring field lacrosse back to Rochester with the relocation of the MLL's Chicago franchise.
The move was announced in November 2010, with the new Rattlers replacing the MLL charter member that moved to Toronto following the 2008 season.
Ercoli was instrumental in closing the deal with the Flash, including a five-year stadium naming rights agreement with Sahlen and the option of a five-year renewal in 2016.
The stadium originally was Paetec Park for three seasons, then Marina Auto Stadium for two years until becoming Sahlen's Stadium in 2011.
"They had a passion for the sport as well," Ercoli says of the Sahlen family, "and they had a business they wanted to grow in this market. We were able to sit down and work out a deal for a long-term naming rights contract. And then the concept of bringing women's soccer came in, so we did that."
The Rattlers and Flash helped Adirondack Sports generate additional revenue to offset the nearly $1.5 million required to run the stadium and the Rhinos, but additional support was needed.
"The three sports teams were the staples, but then we started to look at other channels where we could do things to make us successful," Ercoli says. "We looked at how we could incorporate this building into the community so there's a charitable side to it that shows value in what we do."
The stadium is fully functional for seven months, with the water turned off from late November to mid-April.
"During that span, we do have some things going on in the building, depending on the weather," Ercoli says, "but it's nothing where there's a lot of attendance because you don't have bathroom facilities and you don't have concession stands."
The stadium's peak season runs from mid-April to September. Most weekends then are booked. Two community kickball leagues play there on weeknights, and the Rochester Rhinos Development Program for youngsters occupies space during early evenings.
"We have 60 kids that are part of our youth program," Ercoli says. "We're looking at doubling that for next year."
Sahlen's seats 13,768, and its record attendance was 15,404 for the July 2011 debut of the Flash and Pittsford native Abby Wambach. The U.S. Women's National Team, also featuring Wambach, drew 13,208 last September against Costa Rica in its first match after winning the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Stadium events
Last year's schedule included a professional boxing event, a two-day religious festival featuring Franklin Graham, and the Summerland Tour with Sugar Ray, Everclear and Gin Blossom.
"We have the seating capacity to do concerts," Ercoli says. "With seating on the field and in the stands, this facility could hold up to 24,000 people.
"Now, trying to get a concert is not easy. You're dealing with LiveNation that's out at Darien Lake. You have CMAC. The jockeying to try to get the promoters to come here and actually use our facility has been the difficult side."
And the financial commitment, he says, is daunting. "Aerosmith, for instance, is a million-dollar concert," Ercoli says. "There's some big risk involved.
"We're looking at somebody similar to Aerosmith-I can't really say who it is-that's a half-million dollars. We're doing the numbers to determine whether it's feasible for us to take that risk. That's, I think, the next step for us."
Sahlen's annually plays host to Section V high school football playoff games, the Drum Corps Association World Championships and the Courage Bowl football game between St. John Fisher College and the University of Rochester.
It also was the site of last September's Hillside Community Shield, a lineup of soccer and other events benefiting the Hillside Family of Agencies. The featured matches were between the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology men's teams, and the Aquinas Institute and McQuaid Jesuit High School boys teams.
The second annual event is this September.
"I was the guy who had this notion that it would be great to have a charity soccer game here in town," says Thomas Hilde-brandt, president of the Hillside Children's Foundation.
"I went to the men's coaches at RIT and the U of R and to Pat with the idea. Pat has put the Rhinos' resources fully behind this, which is terrific. He is helping to promote the community through soccer."
Business background
Ercoli, a native of Toronto, has fit right in as a business executive after 10 years as a soccer player and nine years as the Rhinos' coach.
His playing career began with the Rochester Lancers in 1978 after he moved here from Toronto. After three seasons with the Lancers of the North American Soccer League, he joined the NASL's Jacksonville franchise for one year after the Lancers folded. He also played five seasons with indoor teams before retiring in 1986 from the Cleveland Force.
He returned to Rochester with his wife, Karen, whom he met during his first season with the Lancers. Karen's father was part of the Lancers' ownership group.
"We knew we were coming back to an environment where, chances are, we'd never be involved with soccer again," Ercoli says. "But her family was here, so we moved back and I got into business here."
He purchased a car wash in Canandaigua and was a franchise owner of TCBY frozen yogurt stores in Canandaigua, Henrietta and Penfield.
"The car wash was probably the most successful," he says. "It was the first thing I did when I got back here. It was something I didn't want to let go because I really enjoyed it."
Ercoli was a jack of all trades in that endeavor.
"There is a lot of maintenance and repairs in the car-wash business," he says. "You can have somebody do them, but it's more costly to do that. I was pretty handy, so I pretty much took care of my own repairs and minimized the costs.
"I just learned through trial and error. From a business standpoint, it was learning the accounting side of it and paying the bills and all those kinds of things. I was always pretty good about making sure I controlled things properly, as a young person coming to Rochester."
Ercoli has become a civic leader, says Hildebrandt, a friend for more than 20 years, since their days as teammates in the Rochester District Soccer League.
"Pat has a tremendous love for the game of soccer, but he also loves the community," Hildebrandt says. "He has found a great way to blend his two passions into not just helping to promote soccer but to promote the community."
In 1996, Ercoli was asked to coach the Rochester Raging Rhinos, an A-League expansion team. He gave up the TCBY stores over three years beginning in 1998 and relinquished the car wash in 2002.
"It got to a point where it didn't make sense for me to continue with it," Ercoli says. "And I had also signed a long-term contract with the Rhinos. I felt I was secure in my contract. It looked like I was going to be able to stay in the sport."
The Rhinos led the A-League in attendance and were considered a premier minor league franchise. They won A-League titles in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and won the U.S. Open Cup against MLS competition in 1999.
In December 2004, Ercoli left the team after his contract as coach was not renewed. He was offered another job in the organization but did not accept it.
"We had won four championships and made the playoffs every year," he says. "We had gone to seven finals over the nine years. The way I look at it is, we had so much success that they really thought it was easy. Sometimes, when you have that success, people don't think coaching is needed."
He laughs at the thought.
"Unfortunately, it's sometimes viewed that way. But to be able to do what we did four years in a row, it doesn't happen all the time."
His departure came as the franchise was preparing to move from Frontier Field to a soccer-specific home on the city's west side. Ownership also was weighing the possibility of jumping to the MLS.
"I thought maybe they were looking at bringing in somebody different in regards to being in the MLS and they wanted to bring somebody in that might be able to take them to that level," Ercoli says.
"I think I could do it, but I wasn't really saying that I wanted to. They just wanted me to step down as the head coach at that point, so we decided to part ways. It wasn't a favorable parting, because I had a contract and I felt that needed to be honored. They obviously felt they could get out of it."
He returned to the private sector, eventually becoming senior manager of a Jo-Ann Stores Inc. crafts and fabrics shop on Ridge Road. He was familiar with the chain because his TCBY store in Henrietta adjoined a Leewards Creative Crafts Inc. store that had been closed after that chain was purchased by Michael's Stores Inc.
The Leewards owner approached Ercoli about opening a craft business. They opened Karen's Crafts Inc.-named for Ercoli's wife-in a former Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft location in Fairport. It was closed in just over a year.
"We felt it was a great location, but it turned out to be a bad location," Ercoli says.
The economy, meanwhile, was beginning to teeter as the Great Recession approached.
"I saw the economy turning in a negative direction at that point and wondered whether to even get involved in another business," Ercoli said.
He saw a newspaper ad for a senior store manager being sought by Jo-Ann Fabrics and put in an application. He was hired in September 2006 to oversee 50 employees.
"The store was triple the size of the one that we had," Ercoli says. "It was a big undertaking."
Ercoli made the most of it, despite having no formal training in the business world.
"Everybody in my family has had that gene in them as sole business owners," he says. "My father had his own business. My mother's parents had their own business. I was always brought up with that mentality.
"Even when I started here at 18 or 19, I had it in the back of my mind about what I was going to be doing when I'm done playing. … I was always putting things aside to make sure I was ready for when I wasn't going to be playing."
He never considered sports as a post-player career because of its limited opportunities, Ercoli says.
"There are a lot of players out there," he says. "But there are few coaches, few positions that pay well where you can be involved in the sport. And the question at that time was whether this sport would actually be around. Now it's on solid ground, but at the time it wasn't."
Ercoli signed on as radio analyst for Rhinos games in 2009 and was named general manager in October 2009.
"Through that, Pat started taking on more and more roles," Clark says. "At that point, a decision was made that he was more than capable of handling the transition of becoming the full-fledged president.
"He brought Joe Sahlen to the table for us and cultivated that relationship. He got us a new naming rights sponsor. He helps in driving ticket sales. He's gone from being a Hall of Fame coach to having a full-fledged business acumen in sports management, not just on the field but in the office."
Even after becoming GM, however, Ercoli continued to manage the Jo-Ann Fabrics store.
"They asked me to come back here as the GM, and I was a little skeptical," he says. "But the ownership had changed.
"After one or two years here, (Clark) didn't see the success that we had seen at the beginning. He wanted to see if I could come in and make that happen."
Ercoli left Jo-Ann Fabrics in November 2010 after being promoted to president and COO.
Across the border
Ercoli played just about everything but soccer growing up in Toronto. He was a member of the football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, tennis, track and field, and swim teams at Catholic prep St. Michael's College School.
"In Canada, soccer wasn't that important at the high school level," he says. "They usually called me when they were in the playoffs or toward the end of the season, because I was playing semi-pro at that point.
"Soccer was always my best sport. It was always the sport I wanted to focus on in becoming a professional."
His parents moved to Toronto from Italy in the early 1950s. Ercoli was born in Toronto, his older sister in Italy.
"My father actually came over as a prisoner of war," Ercoli says. "He spent time in the U.S. as a prisoner of war and then was able to go back to Italy and then was transferred into Canada."
His dad loved to watch car races, and Ercoli accompanied him to Watkins Glen in the mid-1970s for a Formula One event.
"There was a security guard there," Ercoli says. "They kept looking at each other. They couldn't understand where they had known each other from. Come to find out, he was one of the guys who had guarded him when he was a prisoner of war. And this was like 30 years later."
Ercoli played semi-pro soccer in Toronto and Montreal. He was invited to try out for the Lancers after their coach saw him play for Montreal. He made the team and moved to Rochester in February 1978.
His longest stay with one franchise was three seasons with the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League. That team won the MISL title in 1983-84 and was a finalist in 1982-83 and 1984-85.
Ercoli spent his last five seasons as a player on the indoor circuit, including one season with Cleveland in 1985-86 before he retired and settled here.
He played recreationally for a few years before becoming the Rhinos' coach in 1996.
"I played locally and had a good time with it," he says. "When I saw that I was going to be getting involved with the Rhinos, I stopped doing it because it was going to take time away from what I wanted to do. But I still keep in touch with all the guys I played with."
His priority away from work last fall was watching his daughter Melissa play NCAA Division I soccer at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania.
"We traveled out there for all her home games," Ercoli says. "While my other kids were growing up, I did as much as I could to go watch them play.
"The older kids, the first three, probably had that opportunity to see me play because I was playing locally. But my younger daughter probably has never really seen me play. But she has an incredible amount of passion for it. She works hard at it and wants to be successful at it. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree."
Ercoli's oldest child, Marybeth, is 30. He also has 29-year-old twin sons, Ryan and Christopher.
Ercoli concedes most days now are tied to Adirondack Sports and the stadium.
"I enjoy taking time off and going on vacation," he says. "My wife and I will do that once a year. That's pretty much when we let our hair down and relax and don't think about anything."
The Rhinos played their 18th home opener last weekend, losing to Harrisburg 1-0. Ercoli hopes for an increase in attendance at Sahlen's for all three pro teams this season.
Last year's gates averaged 5,000 to 6,000 for both the Rhinos and the Flash, Ercoli says, with the Flash drawing as many as 10,000 when Wambach was in town.
"In our heyday, we were drawing 12,000 at Frontier, but even that started to come down every year," he says. "It's just a matter of popularity at any given time, the synergy between the fans and the players.
"But we have a solid core of fans that have always been loyal to the team. I think you find that even with the Bills. When they're not doing as well, their crowds aren't as good. Whether we like it or not, it is about entertainment. But the bottom line is still winning."

text: We spent about ten days in late February in Ecuador — three days in the mountain highlands (over 9000 feet) in the hills above Otavalo, and a week cruising the Galapagos islands. The mainland part of our trip introduced us to native crafts (especially weaving), spectacular scenery that includes volcanoes on the ecuator topped with snow year-round, and cool spring-like temperatures. The Galapagos — a 90 minute flight away from Quito — were something else altogether. We sailed the islands in a catamaran with 11 guests and a crew of 6. The trip was labeled as "adventure" and we kayaked, snorkeled, and hiked our way through the islands. Truly an extraordinary experience. The wildlife were as tame and fascinating as we were led to expect, the scenery much more beautiful, and the kayaking and snorkeling truly amazing. We snorkeled with playful sea lions, sea turtles, rays, sharks (even hammerheads!), and — of course — a rainbow's worth of tropical fish. Here are a couple of our Galapagos pics. If you're interested in seeing more, we put together a photo album on Snapfish that you can see here.

Strawberry and Kiwi Fruit Infusion by Whittard of Chelsea is THE summer iced tea drink - especially for those who have to cut back on caffeine.
I brewed this twice, once hot and once cold or iced. Both times the tea was infused twice, and I probably could have gotten another infusion out of the hot tea variety but I was anxious to try this iced so I got to work on a cold brew infusion.
Quite often herbal, fruit tisanes are bitter or tart - it's generally the hibiscus that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. You can combat that, of course, using sugar or a sweetener, but nowadays so many are trying to drink tea straight. Strawberry and Kiwi Fruit Infusion is a tea you can easily drink without sweetener and it's not bitter in the slightest!
One sip and I'm transported to my childhood home in San Diego, where we grew our own strawberries. I'd sneak out to the garden every afternoon and steal a couple, rejoicing in the sweet fruit warmed by the California sun. Strawberry and Kiwi Fruit Infusion hot reminds me of those stolen afternoons in the heart of summer. The iced variety is out of this world! It's slightly tart but not bitter - like a refreshing glass of iced tea should be.
I did add sweetener (agave nectar) to the first glass of iced tea, but found I didn't need it with the second. It was a pre-emptive addition as typically I like sugar or sweeteners with fruity tisanes. You don't need to add any sugar to this tea, IMO. The fruit is bursting with flavor, ready to please the palate.
I can't wait to enjoy a hot cuppa in the dead of winter to remember summer, and celebrate my memories of California!

Vietnamese Egg Roll Recipe (Cha Gio)
Just like the vegetarian eggroll recipe, the meat-filled version is perfect as an appetizer when you have a big party. It's also a great way to get the little ones acquainted with cooking. It's one of my earliest memories of being in the kitchen.
Preparation is fairly simple and will resemble an assembly line. The filling is essentially mixed together raw and then it's on to assembling, folding and frying.
My littlest sister-in-law turned five this week and we're going to have a birthday party this coming weekend. We're making the mini variety for this occasion because it's a better size for the kids and all around works great as an appetizer. We'll be making between 100 and 200 eggrolls and I guarantee that there won't be any leftovers.
Yields: 10 servings1-1/2 pounds ground chicken (see tips)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, freshly ground
1 teaspoon mushroom powder
1 tablespoon full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dried black fungus mushrooms
1/4 cup mung beans
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 clove garlic, finely minced
3 shallots, finely minced
1 leek (white part only), finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely diced
1 carrot
1 (2-oz) package dried rice vermicelli noodle
1 6-oz can lump crab meat (optional)
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
4 packages eggroll wrappers, frozen
1 cup peanut oil, as needed
The day before:
In a saucepan, heat the canola oil. Add the garlic and two finely minced shallots. Cook until slightly golden. Transfer to a bowl (don't drain). Let cool.
Place the ground chicken in a large bowl. Add the yogurt. Mix well. Add the golden garlic and shallot with oil, raw shallot, ginger, leek and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
The following day:
Shred the whole carrot. If you use the Messermeister tool (see tips), you'll get long threads of carrot pieces. Cut into about 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Place the whole package of dried rice vermicelli noodles in a bowl. Don't forget to cut the little threads and discard them! Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes and drain. Chop into 1 inch threads. Set aside.
Place the mung beans in a small saucepan, barely cover with water and slowly cook for about 30 minutes. It will form a dry paste. Set aside.
Soak the black fungus mushrooms in boiling water for 2-3 minutes then drain. Chop finely. Set aside.
In the large bowl of ground chicken mixture, add the carrots, vermicelli, mung beans, black mushrooms and cilantro. Sprinkle with mushroom powder. Mix well. Refrigerate the mixture until you're ready to wrap the eggrolls.
In a small pan, heat about 1 teaspoon of peanut oil. Add about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture. Cook for about 3 minutes. Taste the meat. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
And now it's time to call in your eggroll wrapping reinforcement. Basically call in your family. This is a perfect way to give the little ones a taste of cooking.
Get a bowl filled with cold water ready.
Assign one person to cut the eggroll wrappers into 2 triangles and separate them. They're sold in packages of 30 squares and they are stuck to each other.
Assign another person to place 2 or 3 lumps of crab meat (if used) and 2 tsp of the mixture at the base of the triangle.
And assign the rest of the crowd to wrap them. You fold one of the corners along the base towards the other corner along the base so that it just covers the filling. Then roll the wrapper once towards the top corner. Repeat with the other corner that it along the base. Moisten the exposed top corner with water using your finger. Then finish rolling.
Once a plate is full of uncooked eggrolls, you can either store them covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer up to a month. Once you're ready to cook them, fill a large frying pan with peanut oil or another neutral oil about 2 inches high. Make sure your pan is tall enough so that there is enough room to add the eggrolls without the oil overflowing. If you have a deep fat fryer, by all means, use it. Heat the oil to about 350°F. Place the eggrolls in the hot oil one at a time, seam side down. About 6 to 8 egg rolls should fill the pan at a time. You will see bubbles forming. As soon as each eggroll turns slightly golden, rotate it. When the eggrolls are even and golden all the way around (6-7 minutes), remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain the oil. They should be golden, crispy and delicious.
You can serve them as appetizers or a main course. Serve the eggrolls with some bún cá chiên, literally rice vermicelli noodles with fried fish or Vietnamese-style grilled beef and you'll get a meal called bún chả giò. Just add pickled daikon radish, carrots, coarsely crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, slices of baby cucumber, some Vietnamese mint, leaves of lettuce and accompany with a dipping sauce with fermented fish sauce base called nước mắm (check tip section for recipe) and some chili garlic sauce or Sriracha.
If you can't find frozen eggroll wrappers, you can substitute with bánh tráng (dried rice paper sheets). They're as good, but maybe a little greasier. That was how my mom used to make eggrolls. Fill a bowl with beer and add a teaspoon of baking powder. Brush each bánh tráng with the beer mixture and let it dry for about 2 minutes on a paper towel. Then continue as you would with the frozen eggroll wrappers. Personally I prefer the frozen ones (even though they are not the traditional Vietnamese ones); they're a big time saver which is important considering that making eggrolls is time-consuming to begin with.
I like mixing 1 part chicken breast with 1 part dark meat (chicken thigh). I find the result to be more moist as dark meat is more flavorful and has more fat than chicken breasts. I usually grind the meat using the attachment of my Kitchenaid. Just make sure to remove all the bones prior to grinding!
The thermometer should register 350°F. If the oil is too hot, it might burn the outside and not cook the chicken all the way through. 6-7 minutes should be more than enough to cook the meat. Also, make sure to make mini-cigar shaped rolls. If the rolls are too thick, the meat might not cook all the way through.
I really like the addition of crab meat in eggrolls. Make sure you place the lumps of crab first so that they are still visible through the wrapper after being fried. If you decide to store the un-fried eggrolls in the freezer, it might be better not to add crab to the meat mixture though.
I keep repeating myself, but I find that the gadget from Messermeister is THE best utensil for shredding vegetables.
Some people like to add 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, finely chopped to the filling for more crunch, but I prefer not to. I don't think it adds any particular flavor to the filling.
A good way to check if your filling is properly seasoned is to sauté some in a frying pan with a little oil. If it's not quite seasoned, add more salt and pepper as needed to the mix. Once the eggrolls are wrapped up, it's too late!
One of the most common condiments to serve with Vietnamese eggroll is Siracha sauce. It's the red chili sauce with the green cap. For those who are not into spicy food as I am, you can serve them with a dipping sauce with fermented fish sauce base called nước mắm.
I prefer to serve mini eggrolls, first because they're crispier and second, because it makes you feel less guilty when you polish off half a dozen of them!

Last year, in an interview on an Islamic television station, a Saudi Arabian cleric said that baby girls should wear burqas, the full body tents covering everything except the eyes. These garments are often worn by Muslim women who are required to cover their hair and bodies in public.
Coming from a political leader in the only country that doesn't allow women to drive, Sheikh Abdullah Daoud's statement might not be surprising, but when it was picked up on twitter last week, his words stirred up controversy across the twitter-sphere.
Daoud's intentions are good. On al-Majd TV, the former judge at the Saudi Board of Grievances mentioned instances when young children were molested and said the burqas would stop pedophiles.
Unfortunately, I don't think a cloth barrier is enough and would only mislead parents into believing their children are safe. The only way to stop child molesters is by parents and communities rallying around kids, keeping a close eye on them, and speaking up when they notice unusual behavior. Plus, babies shouldn't be punished for these tragic and horrific crimes.
In this Muslim country, women's rights are unfairly limited and they're required to cover their hair and bodies when out in public. They're also forbidden from voting, driving, earning certain University degrees and traveling alone without a father or husband's permission. Forcing babies to wear burqas would be yet another ridiculous law to add to this list.

Black Lives Matter Shuts Down Rap/Yoga Class
A yoga studio in Sacramento, California is cancelling a blended yoga and rap class after a protest from a local Black Lives Matter chapter. The chapter protested outside Solfire Yoga Saturday arguing that a white woman using rap music to teach yoga amounts to cultural appropriation. Tanya Faison, Sacramento BLM founder, said rap is traditionally a way for black people to talk about their pain and the group is just trying to get the studio to acknowledge what they're doing and be accountable.
The BLM tactic was so successful, one of the co-owners of the studio apologized and said some from the studio would participate in a racism class.

Want to Attract a Date? Be Funny and Playful [POLL]
In the classic rom-com 'When Harry Met Sally…,' one of the characters quips, "Everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor."
That's largely true — but a new study discovered that people who actually do have a sense of humor may have a much easier time finding a mate.
After surveying 250 college students, US researchers found that some of the most important traits sought in a long-term partner were "fun-loving," "playful" and "a sense of humor."
Lead study author Garry Chick, head of the Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management at Penn State, said this may explain why humans continue to play throughout their lives, whereas animals only do so when they're young. But why do we find whimsy so appealing?
"Playfulness in a male may signal to females that he is non-aggressive and less likely to harm them or their offspring," Chick explained. "A woman's playfulness, on the other hand, may signal her youth and fertility."
The male survey respondents like a sense of humor so much that they ranked it as their top priority in a mate and put "physical attractiveness" all the way down in a surprising ninth place.
But while women do like a witty man, they still ranked "kindness" and "understanding" as more important qualities — so guys, if you're going to tell jokes, at least make sure they aren't mean-spirited.

Balkan men and women wore elaborately tailored coats for important court ceremonies. The floating sleeves and wide front-opening skirt allow the wearer free movement for riding or dancing, both essential elements of court festivities. Notice the fine gold-thread couching on deep red velvet, and how the sleeves float on the arms instead of encircling them.
