It took a week, but about 700 students collectively walked or ran the equivalent of the roughly 310 miles it would take to go from one end of the state to the other.

Indeed, physical education teacher Jenna Hoffman said its likely that the students logged enough miles to walk across the state and back to Berks County.

This kind of activity promotes good health and exercise, Hoffman said. The students get time outside, theyre exercising and theyre having fun.

The Brandywine Burst Walk-a-Thon, a name chosen by the students, was held the week of May 7.

Organized by the Brandywine Parent Teacher Committee, the event raised funds for field trips, school assemblies and other activities.

I love to see how the kids get excited about participating, said Prudence Miller of Mertztown, a parent who helped organize the event. Millers daughter, Riley, logged two miles.

Lauren Zuidema, intermediate school principal, ran six miles with the students on each of the five days the event was held.

Crossing the finish line, Zuidema threw a high-five with Katie Miller, 10, whos in fourth grade.

It encourages the students to set goals, she said, and to see them through successfully.

Thea Smith, whos in fourth grade, ran 11/4 miles in the event on her 10th birthday.

I feel pretty good, actually, Thea said. Im really not tired.

The 250 fourth- and fifth-graders in Brandywine Heights Intermediate School logged their laps in the afternoon.

Brandywine Heights Elementary, which has 450 students in first through third grades, took to the track at other times during the school day.

Upon completion of each lap, students were given a rubbery bracelet.

Elijah Groff, 10, whos in fourth grade, accumulated nine bracelets.

Its kind of hard, he conceded. But I want to be on the track team.

Lancaster remains uncertain over Floods fitness, and said: Clearly there is no point taking someone who is not available until halfway through the tour. If there is a chance of him being fit in the few days after (the Premiership final) then perhaps we would (take him).

Lancaster expects to learn more on Wednesday, when the 26-year-old meets with England physio Phil Paske, and he added: He has an ankle injury that will take a couple of weeks. It will depend very much on what our physios and the Leicester physios think at the time.

Hopefully hell be right for the final and the tour. I have to make sure I have enough cover for South Africa.

If Flood is ruled out, Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns is the next in line having been added to the England squad for the non-cap international against the Barbarians on May 27.

Lancaster, who is without his Leicester and Harlequins contingent, has also drafted in scrum-halves Haydn Thomas and Richard Wigglesworth plus London Irish flanker Jamie Gibson.

Dylan Hartley will also be involved in his first match back since he was banned for eight weeks for biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris in the final round of RBS 6 Nations matches. Hartley has been described as a future England captain by forwards coach Graham Rowntree although Phil Dowson appears the likely leader of the 27-man squad.

We have a leadership group in mind – Phil Dowson, Ben Foden, Brad Barritt, Charlie Hodgson, Dylan, those sorts of guys, Lancaster said.

Chris Ashton will also play if he has recovered from a back injury but Alex Corbisiero (biceps) and Ben Morgan (hamstring) are not expected to be ready in time.

Hogan, who opened Hogies Hobbies at 138 Main St. a year ago, said because business has been slow, he some days has to coax people off the sidewalk into his store.

Ive been struggling. Nobody knows Im here, said Hogan, 54, a lifelong Brocktonian.

City and downtown officials are hoping a new project where historic photographs are placed in vacant storefronts helps provide a boost.

The City Windows Project is a $20,000 initiative funded by the Brockton Redevelopment Authority where historic images by legendary Enterprise photographer Stanley A. Bauman will be installed in storefronts throughout downtown.

The goal is to draw the attention of downtown customers to the photos and then to businesses such as Hogans hobby shop.

It creates that visual excitement, said project manager Noelle Foye, a longtime Brocktonian who has been installing the 20-by-30 inch blowups of some of Baumans most famous pictures.

People will stop instead of just scurrying along … then they begin to take in the businesses that are there.

The grant is funding Foye, materials, the photos and promotional events Foye said she plans to organize.

Foye was hanging about 17 photographs last week. The images are mounted on a lightweight cardboard, and suspended with fishing line from hooks over the window frame. The images are of downtown Brockton in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

Stonehill College, which is in possession of Baumans collection, reproduced the 17 images for $524, at cost, for the project, said Nicole Casper, Stonehills director of archives.

Foye, who is director of ArtWorks!, a community art center in New Bedford, said other cities have done similar projects to hers.

New Bedford did a similar project about five years ago, and created a partnership with city and business officials to use the vacant storefronts as a means to advertise the retail space itself, said Matthew Morrissey, executive director of the New Bedford Economic Development Council.

The city chose to use photographs in New Bedford that were hip and edgy instead of historic, Morrissey said. They often showed a business owner in action.

We chose not to focus on our past, but to focus the images around our present and our future, Morrissey said.

Morrissey said the city came up with creative slogans for the photographs. One photograph showed an employee of a new Mexican restaurant serving tacos. Nearby was the text: Opening up a business in downtown New Bedford? No problemo.

By Craig Smith

Special to The Seattle Times

Xavi Hernández had no doubts yet even he was surprised. The day Barcelona announced that Pep Guardiola was going to be their new coach, back in the summer of 2008 after the team had just finished the season empty handed, 18 points behind Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, the midfielder was convinced that change would come. But even he could not have expected quite so much change and quite so quickly. Within 12 months, Barcelona had won a unique treble: the league, the Copa del Rey and the European Cup were theirs. More followed. Much more.

When they signed him I said: Madre mía, were going to be flying, Xavi has recalled. I swear it. Hes a perfectionist. If Pep decided to be a musician, he would be a good musician. If he wanted to be a psychologist, he would be a good psychologist. He is obsessive; he would keep going until he got it right. He demands so much from himself. And that pressure that he puts on himself, those demands are contagious â?? it spreads to everyone. He wants everything to be perfect. He is a pesado. Heavy. Hard-working. Intense.

That intensity has led Guardiola to become the most successful coach in Barcelonas history. He has reached four consecutive Champions League semi-finals and won 13 trophies. Two have evaded him in a week in which Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea and beaten by Real Madrid in the clásico, leaving them seven points behind with four games to play and conceding the title. But there is still a Copa del Rey final to come at the end of the season. Win that and he would have won 14 of 18 competitions.

There have been three consecutive league titles and two European Cups in just four years. And before that there was a league title as coach of Barcelona B. Success barely does it justice. It was about more than just the success, too, it was about the style. Barcelona were different.

So is Guardiola. One of his collaborators describes him as seductive. It is difficult to do justice to just what he represents for the club. There was a kind of collective holding of breath as the wait to find out his future went on, almost as if the whole of Catalonia was anxiously pacing up and down outside a hospital ward, chewing their nails, waiting for news, watching the hand on the clock stubbornly refuse to move. Few men have represented Barcelona like Guardiola. Perhaps none have, despite the status always afforded to Johan Cruyff â?? the counter-cultural revolutionary, the rebel and aesthete from whom Guardiola himself took inspiration.

When Barcelona reached the 1986 European Cup final, a 15-year-old ballboy raced on to the pitch and pleaded with Victor Muñoz, scorer of the decisive penalty against Gothenburg in the shootout, for his shirt. The ballboy was Guardiola. During one match against Madrid he ran up to the referee and told him he was playing with the emotions of an entire nation, and he was not talking about Spain. When AndrÃs Iniesta was a kid, there were two posters on his wall at La Masía: one was of Catherine Zeta Jones, the other was Pep Guardiola. Cesc Fábregas still treasures the signed Guardiola shirt he was given as a youth-team player at the club.

A Catalan and a product of Barcelonas youth system, the skinny kid plucked from obscurity by Cruyff, Guardiola became the captain having been a member of the Dream Team â?? the model against which all other Barcelona teams are measured and which Guardiolas team superseded. There is the same commitment to a footballing identity. But it is done even better. The hours are longer, the detail more intense. In a recent speech at the Catalan parliament, where he was awarded the medal of honour, Guardiola described how he hides away in a dark room for hours watching videos before each game, studying and thinking until the eureka moment arrives. If we all work hard, he said, were an unstoppable country.

It is not just the talent but the intensity and commitment that make Guardiola. It is the same intensity that has contributed to his departure and the same commitment that contributed to delaying it: the coach was concerned about the impact that his announcement could have. Ultimately, though, the impact upon him was greater. In the end, it was too great. His left-back Eric Abidal has had a liver transplant, his assistant Tito Vilanova has had a tumour removed, he has been hospitalised with back problems. The emotional cost has been as great as the physical one. Managing Barcelona has taken its toll.

There has been joy â?? the praise of some of his players and some of his opponents has gone well beyond the normal platitudes â?? but there has also been a kind of weariness about Guardiola, especially in the past couple of years. The smile when he notes that he is losing his hair disguises a serious message. Barcelona are a club where the pressure is intense; Guardiola has talked about their being a club of short cycles. He was caught on television calculating that three or four years was a maximum, intimating that his time was coming to an end.

Josà Mourinho recently said that Pep Guardiola should be given a contract at Barcelona for 50 years. I thought Josà loved me more than that! Guardiola joked. The joke revealed much. The Barcelona job is one that wears a coach down anyway and Guardiola is a coach that dedicates effort and emotion to the role; the importance he gives it, the reverence he has for the club and for football â?? The game needs him, Raúl said on Thursday â?? brings with it a huge fatigue factor.

Throw this Madrid, with this manager, this media, this milieu, into the mix and the impact is even greater. Not only have there been internal problems at Barça, not only are Madrid a brilliant team that can push Barcelona all the way to the finish line, keeping the competitive tense up every single week, pushing them to breaking point, but the atmosphere has also changed. The agenda has shifted and the atmosphere has become suffocating. Guardiola and Raúl are friends; Guardiola and Mourinho once were. No more. The disappointment and hurt, the irritation, is palpable. The sadness, the sense of bitterness. That may sound melodramatic, somewhat overemotional, but from Guardiolas point of view it is true.

Even the things he did well could be held against him; there were many who threw the compliments back in his face. Maybe its true, he said, maybe I do piss perfume. He may be wrong, he may be sensitive, he is no angel and he is not entirely blameless, but the Barcelona boss has found much of what relentlessly swirls around these clubs incomprehensible and unjust. The accusations and suspicions, the constant tension, the interests, have taken their toll. He was all too aware of the use that could be made of his every word and at times felt powerless to defend himself. The involvement was always huge; now it is just too much. He has found himself pulled into territory in which he is uncomfortable. This is not what he wanted, nor what he proposed. But it is what there is and it is inescapable. When Mourinho insisted that he and Guardiola were the same, the Barcelona coach said: I will have to revise my behaviour then.

Put in simple terms: Pep Guardiola has not often enjoyed the past two years. In the build up to the final one of four clásicos played towards the end of last season, he said: These have been 18 difficult days. His face revealed just how difficult. A few days before, he had snapped against Mourinho with his now famous rant about how the Portuguese coach was the puto amo [the fucking master] in the BernabÃu press conference room. That was planned, controlled. But he has not been able to control his environment as he would like; and being in control is something that has always concerned him. He has turned increasingly to sarcasm. At times it has carried a bitter sting.

There was something a little sad about the scene last week. Asked about the meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Guardiola seemed to have forgotten about some of the moments that defined his spell on the Barcelona bench, about the 6-2 and the 5-0, about reaching the Champions League final and claiming the Spanish Super Cup, about some of Leo Messis most marvellous moments and his own tactical innovations, such as winning at the BernabÃu with three at the back. Instead, he said: I dont have good memories of them. And when that happens it is time to walk away.
