You might know him as the raven-haired member of New Kids on the Block. But did you know he owns Fit World in Cranston?
When the New Kids on the Block became a worldwide sensation in the late 1980s, Jordan Knight could count on his youth to carry him through two-hour singing and dancing performances in front of huge crowds. But today at 43, he's a father of two growing boys, a husband and a businessman as well as a heartthrob. And he's not 18 anymore, which means his upcoming "The Package" tour with his NKOTB band mates along with 98 Degrees and Boys II Men this summer requires some serious training to get into shape. That's why Knight was at his gym, Fit World in Cranston, yesterday, following the orders of trainer Brandon Burton, who had him twist ropes, run through obstacles and do other things normally reserved for star athletes.

Bob Houghtaling reacts to the bombings at the Boston Marathon with a poem.
The ghosts of Crispus Attucks, Samuel Adams and Paul Revere, waited at the finish line to offer friends good cheer. Then smoke and explosions, like the shells of the past, fell hard upon the very souls who were finishing at the last. Brave Minuteman in uniform rushed to where the sounds sent scores of the innocent hurt and to the ground. Those who created tumult avoiding to get caught continued a reign of terror which ended up for naught. But when the dust was settled this beautiful Boston place maintained its Constitution and once again did grace thousands to the Freedom Trail and the top of Bunker Hill, back again to Fenway Park where "The Splinter" showed his skill. The memories of the fallen will be foremost in our mind, …
