CHUCK HINES enjoyed a 40-year career with the YMCA, during which he was a strong advocate of the Olympic sport of water polo. He was a three-time All-America player, and he coached teams at three YMCAs that won national championships. His teams all started out at the beginning level, in small pools and with insufficient equipment, and fought their way to the top. This book is the story of those teams and their rags to riches achievements. The author has written two instructional texts on water polo and has served as chairman of national committees for the Amateur Athletic Union, American Swimming Coaches Association, and YMCA of the USA. He was an officer of the U.S. Olympic Water Polo Committee for the Games of 1972, which found the American men bringing home the bronze medal. His YMCA girls team won the gold medal at the Junior Olympics and competed at the World Womens Water Polo Club Championships in 1977. In recent years, he has been a historian for the sport, writing numerous articles for the YMCAs national magazine and the Water Polo Planet web-site. Now retired and a member of the Western North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, Mr. Hines and his wife Lee and family members reside in Asheville, North Carolina.

Polo (Apolinaris) lives in the little farm town of Karanis, far up the Nile, in the year 173 A.D. A family friend, a retired Roman officer, has written letters of recommendation for him so that he can join the Praetorian Fleet, and now he is on his way to Alexandria, on the coast of Egypt, as the first stage of his journey to Rome. But the officer included a mysterious list of names along with his letters, and someone wants it destroyed. Brigands attack Polo and his party in the desert, someone pushes him into a pool full of crocodiles, and finally a traveling companion steals the list. River pirates assault the boat carrying Polo and his friend Apion down the Nile, and elsewhere Antonius Longus - the boy who stole the list - finds that joining a conspiracy against Rome is not as simple as he thought. The three meet again in the baths of Alexandria, where an agent of the prefect of Egypt chases the conspirators and tries to reclaim the list.

The wise and hilarious story of a family who discovered that having fewer tools to communicate with led them to actually communicate more. When Susan Maushart first announced her intention to pull the plug on her family's entire armory of electronic weaponry for six months-from the itsy-bitsiest iPod Shuffle to her son's seriously souped-up gaming PC-her three kids didn't blink an eye. Says Maushart: "Looking back, I can understand why. They didn't hear me." For any parent who's ever IM-ed their child to the dinner table, this account of one family's self-imposed exile from the Information Age will leave you LOLing with recognition. But it will also make you think. The Winter of Our Disconnect challenges readers to examine the toll that technology is taking on their own family connections, and to create a media ecology that instead encourages kids-and parents-to thrive. Indeed, as a self-confessed single mom who "slept with her iPhone," Maushart knew her family's exile from Cyburbia wasn't going to be any easier for her than for her three teenagers, ages fourteen, fifteen, and eighteen. Yet they all soon discovered that the rewards of becoming "unplugged" were more rich and varied than any cyber reality could ever be.
