Cirque-like shows coming to PPAC, Foxwoods
From the time he was 10 years old, Chris Lashua spent every waking moment on a bicycle. Now he is building bicycle-like contraptions that are at the heart of a cirque-type show that is coming to PPAC next Saturday. “Cirque Mechanics” is a blend of acrobatics, aerial acts and contortion routines linked to the operations of simple machines that takes place in a factory setting.
Classic Irving, with all the twists and turns
Just as the season starts its stately march into the dark evenings of hibernation, John Irving gives us a wonderful, long read to carry us away. “Last Night In Twisted River” is Irving’s 12th novel and it’s just as satisfying as “The Cider House Rules,” “A Prayer for Owen Meany,” or “The World According to Garp.”
Composting begins with a container in the kitchen
• The paper milk carton: Simply open up the top of a paper milk carton and toss in your potato peelings, coffee grounds and that leftover arugula salad you never got around to eating. The carton won’t leak — it’s waxed –– so it’s OK to keep on the kitchen counter but will break down at the compost facility. Do not use this method if the milk carton has a non-compostable plastic screw-top spout.

It’s not so easy being a man
Society has created injunctions around its idea of masculinity: one is told to “take it like a man,” “man up,” or, most simply, “be a man.” But in a culture that considers male issues to be as simple as a fist to the jaw, Kevin Canty’s “Where the Money Went” shows us what it is to write like a man, and as one. Writing about men’s issues is, at bottom, an analysis of the concept of domain — where one person ends and another begins. And in the small, fleeting spaces that allow for overlap, there is fertile ground for Canty’s talent.
Jennie Proulx Jason Friese
Jennie Proulx of Warren and Jason Friese of Stamford, Conn., were married Sept. 5 in St. Alexander’s Church in Warren by the Rev. David Masello. The bride is the daughter of Debra Abbruzzi of Warren and Robert Proulx of Bristol. The groom is the son of Robert and Vicki Friese of Canton, Conn.

Peter Paul Rubens other life as a spy

Sometimes poetry can just be fun
Sometimes it’s important to let words slip outside their language. Sometimes we need to stop making sense. Lewis Carroll certainly realized this. His poem “Jabberwocky” has been beloved through the years because it uses English only as a basic foundation, then layers on its own tasty sounds. Children who hear the poem for the first time often respond by bursting out laughing. They understand instinctively that words don’t necessarily have to mean anything. They know that word sounds can create their own kind of meaning and music, and fun.
Stefanie Capone Michael Bello

There’s something about Molly: An eye-catching reporter with red hair, saucy, wide-apart eyes, an infectious laugh. . . .

Like the time she wrote this rebuke of a Republican Congressman: “If his IQ slips any lower, we’ll have to water him twice a day.” Remarks like that gathered loyal readers and paved the way for Maureen Dowd.

The hunt for Stephen Saccoccia’s hidden assets
PROVIDENCE –– It’s been more than 16 years since Stephen Saccoccia was sentenced to 660 years in prison for laundering money for Colombian drug lords. A man with lavish tastes, Saccoccia was a Cranston coin shop owner and precious metals dealer known for his free-spending ways. He wore a Rolex watch, rented apartments in London and New York City and offered Dom Perignon with the cold cuts he served to employees who came to his Christmas parties. For many years he had a raft of high-priced lawyers representing him. But now, as he sits in a West Virginia federal penitentiary for what amounts to a life sentence, he says he is destitute. Maybe that’s true. But the U.S. government has continued to hunt for his assets to satisfy a $136.3 million forfeiture order.

Daniel J. McKee: Best medicine for R.I. a smart state funding policy
Prescribing a “crash diet” to 39 people you have never met will make some healthier, make others sick and will kill a handful. Doctors don’t prescribe in this way, for obvious reasons. Instead, they base their recommendations on detailed individual histories and a strong understanding of the symptoms. They know who they’re dealing with, they see what’s wrong and they follow the best practices for fixing the problem.

WASHINGTON
Editorial: A loss for gay marriage
For now, it’s back to five. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Iowa are the only states that officially allow gay marriage, following last week’s defeat of the practice in Maine. Supporters of gay marriage outspent their opponents by more than $1 million, and enjoyed the backing of the governor, legislative leaders and major newspapers. Yet the vote revealed that, even in a state known for a strong libertarian streak, Americans are still not quite comfortable with same-sex unions.

Analysis: Patriots have the edge in most categories
No one has to tell the Patriots what is at stake in Sunday’s game against the Dolphins: through Miami is 3-4, all three of their wins have come against AFC East foes. New England, meanwhile, is 1-1 in division play and can ill afford to take a second loss if it is going to reclaim the title it had a stranglehold on from 2003-07, but which Miami claimed last year on a tiebreaker.
