Roar

THE PAGAN stationed on a corner of Atlantic Avenue in Wildwood stood with his burly arms crossed over his belly, guarding the infamous motorcycle club's hotel-turned-fortress like a living, breathing gargoyle. Behind him, yellow caution tape and blue tarps draped the Binns Motor Inn - a signal from the Pagan's Motorcycle Club for "citizens" and nosy cops to keep out during the 2011 Roar to the Shore biker rally this month. It's the same hotel where federal prosecutors say that leaders of the Pagan's Long Island chapter at last year's rally told their minions to prepare for death or prison as they plotted a hand-grenade attack on the rival Hells Angels.

"We came from the bottom of the Bux-Mont League to the second round of the district playoffs," said Hatboro-Horsham coach Walt Ostrowski, referring to the Hatters' 0-5 league start.

A record 20,291 people heard "God Bless America" performed before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday night. Lauren Hart wasn't one of them. The angel-voiced singer had to look up to the big screen and read Kate Smith's lips in order to keep their otherworldly duet in sync. That's how loud the crowd's roar was when Hart joined with the video image of the late great Kate for the finale of the Flyers' lucky song. "It has never been this loud," Hart said Thursday afternoon.

St. Bonaventure was fairly confident it was already in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1978, even going into last night's Atlantic Ten Conference semifinal against Dayton. Now the Bonnies have no doubts. They lost every bit of an 11-point halftime lead at the First Union Spectrum, actually fell behind by 37-36 with eight minutes left, then roared back to a 56-50 victory that removed all doubts. Tim Winn, who led all scorers with 20 points, quickly hit a three-pointer and the Bonnies went on a 9-0 run to give them some breathing room.

Given up for dead after a horrendous first half, the 76ers waged an amazing second-half comeback against the Boston Celtics on Friday night at a raucous Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers rallied from 18 points down in the second half to even their best-of-seven series with the Celtics at two games each with an improbable 92-83 victory. Game 5 of the series will be Monday in Boston, and it guarantees that the Sixers will return to the Wells Fargo Center for Game 6 on Wednesday.

XALITZINTLA, Mexico - A 17,886-foot volcano outside Mexico City exhaled dozens of towering plumes of ash and shot fragments of glowing rock down its slopes Friday morning, frightening the residents of surrounding villages with hours of low-pitched roaring not heard in a decade. A roiling white cloud of ash, gas, water vapor and superheated rock spewed from the cone of Popocatepetl high above the village of Xalitzintla, whose residents said they were awakened by a window-rattling series of eruptions.

FORNEY, Texas - As a twister bore down on her neighborhood, Sherry Enochs grabbed the three young children in her home and hid in her bathtub. The winds swirled and snatched away two of the children. Her home collapsed around her. Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt. Enochs, 53, stood Wednesday amid the wreckage of what was once her home in the North Texas city of Forney, among the hardest hit by a series of tornadoes that barreled through one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas a day earlier.

There's going out on a limb, and there's your limb going out. Or you putting out your limb. Angelina Jolie did, and now it's leg-endary. Jolie put out her right leg repeatedly before and during Sunday's Academy Award presentations, and it instantly became an object for satire and sharing. Funny guy Jim Rash, one of the recipients of the best adapted screenplay Oscar, struck a Joliesque pose onstage in his tux. Now, it has become an Internet meme - with a Twitter account: @AngiesRightLeg.

The scene was unfamiliar for Paul Reiser as he spoke to his girls' basketball team inside the cramped Ben Franklin High locker room. For the first time this season, Prep Charter failed to hold a halftime lead over a Public League foe, as the Huskies trailed by a point Friday to Freire Charter. He thought his team was playing out of desperation, as he asked, "Why are you playing like you're down 10, when you're down one?" In the second half, Prep Charter emerged with a sense of balance and focus en route to capturing its fifth straight Public League Class AAA crown, 62-52.

NEW YORK - This year's New York Fashion Week ended on a decidedly flapperish note. Designers dotted their collections with cloches, menswear styling, plush furs, and velvet gowns with a chicness that hasn't been appreciated since the Roaring Twenties. Maybe it's the subliminal influence of HBO's hit Boardwalk Empire . Coincidentally, I ran into the show's Michael Kenneth Williams in front of Lincoln Center this week. Or it could be fashion's constant preoccupation with everything Coco Chanel - right now we are in an early-Chanel phase, focusing on the corset-free, pared-down looks Chanel introduced to women in the mid-teens, forever changing our style of dress.
