Advrcntr2.dll Error Messages
Advrcntr2.dll errors may show up a few different ways depending on how it was generated. Here are the more common advrcntr2.dll errors that people see, with the first one being the most common:
"This program requires the file advrcntr2.dll, which was not found on this system."
"File advrcntr2.dll not found"
Cause of Advrcntr2.dll Errors
Advrcntr2.dll errors, most often the "This program requires the file advrcntr2.dll, which was not found on this system." error, are caused when, for whatever reason, the advrcntr2.dll file is deleted or moved from its proper location.
The advrcntr2.dll file might go "missing" because it was accidentally deleted from the folder, because an anti-virus or other security program mistakenly removed it thinking it was a security threat, or due to an issue when you last upgraded or reinstalled Nero.
How To Fix Advrcntr2.dll ErrorsImportant Note: Do not, under any circumstances, download the advrcntr2.dll DLL file from any "DLL download site." There are several reasons that downloading DLLs from these sites are never a good idea.
Note: If you've already downloaded advrcntr2.dll from one of those DLL download sites, remove it from wherever you copied it to and continue with the following steps.
- Restart your computer. The advrcntr2.dll error might be a fluke and a simple restart could clear it up completely.
- Record the serial number of your particular Nero installation. The easiest way to do this is by following the instructions provided by Nero on their Upgrade Center page. Once there, click Need to find serial number? and follow one of the four methods.
Tip: Can't find your Nero serial number using Nero's instructions? A product key finder program could help.
- Uninstall Nero from your computer.
Note: Be sure to uninstall using the Uninstall Nero link in the Nero program group (if available) or use the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel.
- Restart your computer.
- Download the Nero General CleanTool utility: [Direct Download Link]. Extract and then run this free program from Nero. This utility will ensure that Nero is 100% removed from your computer.
Tip: This file is in the ZIP format. Unzip it from within Windows or use a dedicated file unzipper.
Note: Nero General CleanTool is only guaranteed to work up through Nero 8. Newer versions of Nero should uninstall more completely via the standard uninstall method in Step 3 but feel free to try CleanTool if you like.
- Restart your computer again, just to be safe.
- Reinstall Nero from your original installation disc or downloaded file. Hopefully, this step should restore the advrcntr2.dll file.
Install the latest update to your Nero program if there is one available. There may have been certain issues in your original version of Nero that caused the advrcntr2.dll error you've been seeing.
- Restart your computer... again.
Run a virus/malware scan of your entire system if the Nero reinstallation steps don't resolve your issue. Some advrcntr2.dll issues are actually related to hostile programs that masquerade as the advrcntr2.dll file.
Note: The advrcntr2.dll file should be located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib folder. If you find the advrcntr2.dll file in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, chances are it is not Nero's legitimate advrcntr2.dll file.
Applies To
The advrcntr2.dll error message could apply to nearly any version of Nero installed on any of Microsoft's operating systems that Nero is compatible with.
Advrcntr2.dll errors may also appear on computers without Nero installed if the computer is infected with certain kinds of viruses or other malware.

NEW CASTLE — Check out Mackenzie Summerville's video highlights and photo gallery from Wednesday's junior high football matchup between Mohawk and Neshannock.
A bonfire lit the sky last night behind Neshannock High School. The school was holding a pep rally to celebrate the season of its red-hot football team.
Laurel High's Emily Maxwell paved the way for the county contingent competing at the PIAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday. Maxwell, a senior, placed fifth in the girls Class A race in 19:53.
The Mohawk High girls soccer team came up short in the WPIAL Class A consolation game Saturday. Shady Side Academy scored the game's first five goals en route to a 5-2 win over the Lady Warriors at Baldwin High School.
There will be no three-peat for the Wilmington High girls soccer team this year. The Lady Greyhounds dropped a 4-1 decision to Fairview in the semifinals of the District 10, Class A playoffs last night at General McLane High School.
These wolves were too big and bad for the Shenango High girls volleyball team. The Lady Wildcats dropped their quarterfinal-round matchup in the WPIAL Class A playoffs, 25-17, 25-19, 25-13 to West Shamokin last night at North Allegheny High School.
For the second-straight match, the Mohawk High defense was perfect through regulation. Sewickley Academy needed a few extra minutes to capitalize. Last night in overtime, the Lady Panthers finally converted on one of their numerous scoring chances to post a 1-0 win over the Lady Warriors in a WPIAL Class A girls soccer semifinal at Ambridge High's Moe Rubenstein Stadium.
A promising season came to a sour end for the Wilmington High boys soccer team last night. The Greyhounds mustered no offense and allowed two second-half goals in a 2-0 District 10, Class AA quarterfinal-round loss to Saegertown at General McLane High School.
Emily Maxwell was focused when she reached the finish line at the WPIAL Cross Country Championships last week. So focused, in fact, that she missed one important thing — she won. "It didn't hit me that I won until making the tape," Maxwell said.
Hurricane Sandy got the best of the playoff action Monday night. District 10 and WPIAL postseason games were rescheduled as the storm began to unleash its fury. The Wilmington High boys District 10, Class AA quarterfinal-round soccer matchup against Saegertown was moved to 5 p.m. Wednesday at General McLane.
The Wilmington High girls cross country team didn't let the conditions bother them Saturday. The squad just pushed through and qualified for the PIAA Championships.

Terrific swim trunks. I bought a pair of these swim trunks back in January and liked them so much I bought a second pair. The length of these trunks is great. They end above the knee and have a classic look. The material is soft, dry's quickly and is very comfortable. I hope Tommy Bahama expands the color selection because these are the only trunks I am going to buy. July 20, 2014
Great swim trunks My husband loves these swim trunks. I only wish that they came in prints also. July 19, 2014
Classic trunks They fit well and are durable, attractive and comfortable. July 18, 2014
Great product, fast shipping, easy transaction. Great product, fast shipping, easy transaction. I love Tommy Bahama products. I know every time I am getting quality merchandise. Fits goog and looks good. Feel special when wearing your product. July 16, 2014
Lookin' good; feelin' good. These trunks are flattering on my husband, and he likes the fit. He has a stocky 5' 7" build. The length is good on him, and the waistband is comfortable. He said that the Tommy Bahama logo could be a little smaller. For this particular review, I am putting in the stats of my husband. June 13, 2014
the best for the beach These are great shorts for beach or just Cruzan around. Easy to wash , have several pairs, all I wear during summer. June 9, 2014
Great! My husband really likes these trunks and has been wearing this style for years. They dry quickly following a swim, and wash and dry well. Please don't discontinue this style! May 25, 2014
a good quality product albeit rather pricey I am 5 ft. 3 in. tall & weigh 150 lbs. so I was delighted to see these swim trunks designed for a person of my stature. I was a bit surprised when I tried them on to discover they're a bit longer looking on me than on the model. Guess he's taller than I am. The proof of quality however is in wearing them and in this regard I am totally satisfied. As I live in Canada my final cost for these trunks including tax shipping & exchange was $85.00 (just a little bit more than the original selling price of $55.00) I shall accept the difference as the price one pays for living North of the 49th parallel. Thought these might bring me some luck as my first name is Larry. May 22, 2014

EDWARDSVILLE — In only his second varsity start, Edwardsville junior quarterback Dan Marinko put up the kind of numbers that would make most veteran signal callers envious.
Marinko threw for five touchdowns in the Tigers' 49-6 win over Soldan last Saturday, earning him the Belleville News-Democrat's Player of the Week honor.
"For a kid that has played only two varsity games, he's made pretty good decisions, and for the most part, he's taken care of the ball pretty well,'' Edwardsville coach Matt Martin said of Marinko, who completed 9 of 13 passes for 187 yards in the game. "That's a big part of that position. He also runs a no-huddle offense. That's added pressure. There is a lot more to handle there, and he's done a good job.''
Martin said Marinko, 16, the son Dara and Vic Marinko of Edwardsville, has proven to be a fast learner.
"He's sharp,'' Martin said. "He threw a pick the other game and, to be honest with you, it wasn't his fault. It was a bad route. When something bad happens, it's usually not on his end.
"It's usually on my end as a coach or maybe somebody didn't protect or somebody didn't run the right route. He gets it. He's a fast learner. He's a kid that you can say something to once, and he picks up on things. As a coach, that's refreshing.''
Last season, Marinko saw only spot duty behind starting quarterback Will Collins. He said the time spent as an understudy prepared him for a starting role this season.
"Will Collins was our starter, and he was a really good quarterback,'' Marinko said. "He knew what was going on, he knew the offense, and I just took that time to learn from him. I learned a lot from him.
"That's how I came into this year with the mind-set that I did. I knew the offense because I was able to watch it all year last year."
The 6-foot-2, 165-pound Marinko is a dual threat who can break down a defense with his passing arm or his legs.
"I like to take pride in that I can run it a little bit, too,'' Marinko said. "I use my speed around the edge sometimes. Sometimes you just have to make plays. When it comes down to it, sometimes you have to run it.''
Marinko's father, Vic, was a running back for Edwardsville High School.
"I haven't seen any film of him playing, but I've seen pictures of him,'' Marinko said of his father, who graduated in 1986. "He was like a power running back type of guy. He still has a broken nose from back in the high school days.''
Vic Marinko started the Little Tigers youth football program in Edwardsville in 2006.
"He pushes me to get better, but he's there for me with everything that happens,'' Marinko said of his father. "We have a really good relationship.''
Marinko has developed a chemistry with Edwardsville wide receivers Darius Crochrell and Isaiah Michl. Crochrell and Michl both had two touchdown receptions against Soldan.
"Those guys worked so hard in the weight room,'' Marinko said. "They've been busting the weights all summer, and it shows out on the field. They know their technique that the coaches teach and they use it to get open.
"Darius and I play basketball together, and we have a good vibe together. We have been friends for a long time. Isaiah and I gelled this summer. We pretty much know what is in each other's head.''
Martin said Marinko also has benefited from good blocking by the offensive line and running backs.
"If you don't have your backs and your linemen protecting well, even good quarterbacks look bad,'' Martin said. "You can just watch the pro game and see that. If you can rush Peyton Manning or you can get pressure on Tom Brady, they'll look bad at times.''
The Tigers are 2-0 heading into their Southwestern Conference opener against East St. Louis at 7 p.m. Friday at the Edwardsville Sports Complex.
The Tigers beat the Flyers 21-18 in the playoffs last year after losing to them 14-7 in the regular season.
"The Southwestern Conference -- this is what it is all about,'' Marinko said. "I feel like we've done everything all summer, we've worked so hard, we've worked for this point.
"Now that it is here, you just have to trust that everything you've done, everything you've learned carries over to this moment.''
The Tigers advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class 7A playoffs last season before losing to Lincoln-Way East 40-10. They've set their sights even higher this season.
"Coach always talks about how last year's guys set the bar and got to the quarterfinals,'' Marinko said. "Now that bar is set, we want to get a little further this year. Hopefully, (we can) get to state.''
Martin said Marinko has the mental and physical makeup to be a stellar quarterback.
"When you talk about quarterback, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a tougher position to play in all of sports,'' Martin said. "The decision making, the mental part, a lot rides on what you do. And, you have to have physical courage when you're running the ball and when you have to sit in the pocket knowing that they are bringing one more than you can block and knowing that you are going to get hit and still deliver the ball on time with accuracy.
"I think he'll do nothing but improve because he has that mind-set. I think he has a work ethic, I think he has a passion to learn the game and I think he has a burning desire to be great. You put all of those things together, good things are going to happen for him.''

This is the kind of story that I just can't pass up. It's a story of a high school junior who proved that he was a man on September 16.
In the middle of the Applejack Invite in Lakeville, Minnesota, an Andover High School student, Josh Ripley, was competing in a cross country 2-mile junior varsity race when he heard the screams emanating from a Lakeville South Runner.
While the other runners ran on by, ignoring Mark Paulauskas in their quest to win the 2-mile race, Josh stopped to help his opponent who was bleeding profusely from the ankle. Concerned that Mark might have punctured his Achilles heel, Josh forgot about the race, picked up the wounded runner, and carried him for a half a mile to get him back to his coach and parents. Once he was certain that Mark was in capable hands, Josh got back into the race.
Josh stated in the Anoka-Hennepin school district press release, "I didn't think about my race, I knew I needed to stop and help him. It was something I would expect my other teammates to do. I'm nothing special; I was just in the right place at the right time."
As it turned out, it was a very good thing that Josh acted so quickly, because when Paulauskas arrived at the hospital, doctors discovered that he had been spiked accidentally by another runner's shoe during the race, an injury which required 20 stitches to close properly. Paulauskas left in a walking boot to protect the wounded area from further injury.
Both Mark's parents and his coach were extremely grateful for Josh's selfless actions.
"I was stunned and so proud of the sportsmanship and kindness he showed to our runner who was injured," said Jessica Just, the Lakeville South team's coach. "The family, our Lakeville South coaching staff and our whole team were so thankful and appreciative of Josh's act of kindness and selflessness to a rival competitor."
And Mark's father, Gene Paulauskas reported, "While I was running with Mark in my arms [to get medical attention], he told me that it was a runner from another team who had stopped and helped him to an area of the course where he could get some help. It was horrible to see Mark with such a bad injury, but we were all struck by the selfless act of compassion, kindness and sportsmanship exhibited by Josh Ripely, the Andover runner."
Meanwhile, when Scott Clark, Josh's coach, was told that Josh was carrying a runner, he admitted that he assumed he had heard incorrectly, a notion which was quickly proven wrong.
"Then Josh comes jogging into view carrying a runner," Clark said. "I noticed the blood on the runner's ankle as Josh handed him off to one of the coaches from Lakeville. Josh was tired and you could tell his focus was off as he started back on the course, clearly he intended to finish, this happening inside the first mile. I got his attention and told him to relax and get his focus back for racing and not worry about his place. Josh continued to run and finished."
What this boy did was remarkable! His willingness to sacrifice his own chances of winning an important race, his calm, quick thinking that allowed him to get this boy to those who could help him, and the physical endurance it took to carry this injured boy a half mile and then finish the race he started, speaks volumes as to his character, his determination, and his kindness.
Coach Clark said that what Josh did told a lot about him as an individual. "Clearly Josh is a compassionate and caring person. We consistently talk about being a team and caring about how each person on the team does. Cross country is filled with quality athletes at each school. It is always gratifying to see it exhibited in such a way as Josh did."
Josh will be honored by the Anoka-Hennepin School Board on Monday, September 26, at 6:30 in Coon Rapids.
We all honor you, Josh. Your sacrifice and sportsmanship have not gone unnoticed. What an amazing young man! This is the stuff of which heroes are born!

Thoughts about Kate I've had for awhile now
Anyone who knows me on Tumblr knows my feelings about Bomb Girls. I love it, it's my favourite show of all time. It makes me want to grab a time machine and swing by 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 to pick up various younger versions of myself, shouting, "Guys, I've found this show that has something for ALL of us! Even pre-gay us!" In a show where basically everyone is my favourite character, Kate Andrews is my favourite character of all. I love her joy, her sassy moments, her quiet moments, her angry moments. In a show filled with unbelievably courageous characters, Kate's bravery just enchants me. It makes me feel like I could be brave too.
Perhaps it's just my love of/faith in/rampant overidentification with the character of Kate Andrews, but I have never had the slightest doubt that Kate is in love with Betty. I sincerely doubt that Kate's storyline next season will consist of sowing doubt as to whether Kate loves Betty. To me, this would be frankly baffling, since it's been clear to me since the beginning that Kate returns Betty's feelings. It was clear from their first scenes that Kate is drawn to Betty (hence all my, "Kate asked out her hot supervisor/neighbour after being acquainted with her for approximately twenty hours, ten of which she was asleep, even after she humiliated herself in front of said hot supervisor/neighbour three or four times. Damn, girl, I wish I had your confidence!" cracks). Since Kate is softly spoken, awkward about expressing her sexuality and – let's be honest – normatively feminine, it can be harder to puzzle out her feelings, but they are there. It's just a matter of thinking beyond the tropes of the indecisive femmey girl toying with the stalwart butch girl's feelings.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Live from the Senior Bowl in Mobile...
Mobile, Ala. — And so it begins. The 2013 Draft Season. Roger Goodell won't announce the Kansas City Chiefs' first selection for another three months, but everything unofficially kicks off here in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. The country's top seniors will practice in front of droves of scouts, coaches and personnel men throughout the league all week.
This will be a interesting off-season for a Packers team with questions.
Here are a few things to keep an eye on in Mobile. We'll have updates from practice all week here on the Packers Blog.
--- Denard Robinson's transition to WR. No quarterback in FBS history has more rushing yards than Michigan's Robinson (4,495). He's one of the most electrifying college players in recent memory. Now the question is how (if?) he fits into the pros. This will be Robinson's chance to endear himself to scouts as a potential slot receiver. Robinson moved to running back this season and continued to make plays. In a bowl loss to South Carolina, he had 100 yards on 23 carries. But his experience catching the football is limited. Robinson had only three receptions for 31 yards at Michigan. Many eyes will be fixated on him this week. Some quarterbacks have made this a fluid transition, others have not.
--- This year's Alabama crop. They're usually drawing a lot of attention this time of year. Six players from the back-to-back national champions are in Mobile — S Robert Lester, LB Nico Johnson, OL D.J. Fluker, OL Barrett Jones, TE Michael Williams and LS Carson Tinker. Jones will be in Alabama but isn't practicing due to recent foot surgery. Last year's group will be tough to beat. S Mark Barron, CB Dre Kirkpatrick, LB Dont'a Hightower and LB Courtney Upshaw all went in the first 35 picks. But Lester (12 interceptions the last two years) and Johnson (55 tackles) helped anchor another championship defense.
--- The quarterbacks. Unlike last year, it's wide open at the top of this year's class. West Virginia's Geno Smith and USC's Matt Barkley won't be here this week, but the Senior Bowl gives several others a golden opportunity to stand out. For the South, there's Landry Jones (Oklahoma), E.J. Manuel (Florida State) and Tyler Wilson (Arkansas). For the North, there's Ryan Nassib (Syracuse), Mike Glennon (N.C. State) and Zac Dysert (Miami Ohio). Covered Nassib at Syracuse when he backed up former Duke point guard Greg Paulus. He's come a long way since then. Now one former college scout thinks Nassib actually could go first overall.
--- Toughness on defense. Above all, this may be what the Packers emphasize this off-season. As Bob McGinn wrote in his season-ending grades, Green Bay has been inferior physically the last two seasons. The roster could use some more nastiness. Seeing so many prospects up close this week should clue Green Bay into their temperaments and playing styles.
--- Kenjon Barner. Like Robinson, the Oregon running back was must-see TV in college but comes with question marks as a pro prospect. In Chip Kelly's high-powered offense, Barner rushed for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns this season. But he's also (a generous) 5-11, 192 pounds. Barner will need to show scouts he wasn't a mere product of the Oregon machine and that he can physically hold up at the NFL level. Senior Bowl competition all week provides an ideal litmus test.
--- Another wide receiver? This may be the year Ted Thompson takes another wide receiver high in the draft. He has only drafted one in the last four years. With Greg Jennings likely to leave in free agency, the Packers G.M. may strike again in April. Oregon State's Markus Wheaton and Baylor's Terrance Williams are two receivers worth tracking. Even without Robert Griffin III around, Williams nearly cleared 2,000 receiving yards this season. The 6-foot-3 receiver finished with 1,832 yards on 97 receptions with 12 touchdowns.

If anyone says that guy is soft I will blow a f***ing gasket.
Why am I soft in the middle, when the rest of my life is so hard?
Son, you must be talking about your head and do you really not know the answer to that?
Well, my Dad has been dead since 1956, so I suspect I'm not your son. And if you don't know (admittedly old) pop references, save your breath.
FYI, TT smartest man in the room. People start talking about a guy for the Packers. He won't draft him. So start hyping a QB (wink) (wink) 'Bama players are going to look great when you are playing with Studs all around them.
If they are playing with studs all around them, then some of them are studs. Those are the ones you draft.
Sonny, I know the tune but I'm just having some fun with you. And sorry about your dad. Poor guy missed the Glory Years.
sigh. He was a Bears fan; grew up in Chicago.
That must have been hard on you. Left some scars. Can't imagine anything worse on a kid than growing up a Bears fan and probably doubled his pain following the Cubs.
Yes, but as I think about it (I was only 4), as far as he knew the Bears had recently been much better than the Packers and were likely to remain so. The Cubs...well, not much different than being a Brewers fan.
Well there you are eddie, 60 years old and in the prime of your life. Me, I have been going since 28. Aint got a lot of time left. Hope to see one more championship before I go.
You figured out how to use a computer.
big BOY in the girly clothes J Williams is the stud that the that rest of them are all around.
big BOY in the girly clothes it's a good thing you can't bottle stupid.
Jesse Williams is the stud "they" are all around in Alabama.
GreenMeat 5 days old on the counter, They can't bottle intelligence either. My comment was sarcastic about Jesse. At least Eddie didn't call me stupid.
He should of.
TT don't take a receiver early. I will fire up the fire TT website again. I am sick of of the spread 4 receiver sets. I didn't like the run and shoot when it was the fad and it never won a superbowl. The offense lead to the greatest comeback in Playoff history because the Oilers could not chew clock against Buffalo.Hide replies
Buffalo's K-Gun was't all that different than the run-and-shoot.
Was that boy TT on that Oilers team? Learned this softness somewhere.
Gotta worry about any man who has worn shimmering powder blue. Just too Liberace for me.
Seems to have turned out fine for quite a few North Carolina Tar Heels.
Particulary one Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Sonny, that is Carolina Blue. Totally different color. Get your eyes checked.
Kiper, I think the gel got in your eyes.
The offense was built around Thomas running the ball. They may have run 3wides at times but they had a TE or FB or went traditional set at times.
Thomas led the league in yds from scrimmage and was one of the top rushers in the NFL.
It was an up tempo offense designed to force their will on other teams. Very much like the run and shoot.
Not a fair comparison really. 3 HOF caliber players on that Bills offense. Houston, Detroit and Atlanta never had that luxury.
I wouldn't mind seeing Denard Robinson in Green Bay if he fell to the 3rd round.Hide replies
Poor man's Randall Cobb, without the demonstrated rcvg. ability.
Eddie--maybe like Paul Simon, he just needs a photo opportunity. But that's only a 7th rounder.
Then he'd a have a shot at redemption.

Not very physical running down south with the first cold snap of the year.

I/O obstacles could throw a monkey wrench into virtual server environments, but there are alternatives to traditional methods.
To take full advantage of server virtualization benefits like app mobility and high-availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) capabilities, virtualized servers need networked storage. According to a recent ESG research report, "Server Virtualization: The Impact on Storage," 86% of respondents using server virtualization support their virtualized environments with networked storage, and the majority of those are Fibre Channel (FC) SANs. The result is a highly dynamic infrastructure in which every server device requires connectivity to every storage device to ensure flexibility and mobility. However, the I/O path is still being provisioned as it would be in a fixed, nonvirtualized environment.
| To keep pace with changes in the server and storage domains, organizations need to ensure that the I/O path is not a bottleneck.
One of the most obvious issues with this type of arrangement is the cost associated with deploying and maintaining an environment that, in a high-availability configuration, will sport two NIC cards and two HBAs per server, in addition to all of the cabling that goes with it.
Troubleshooting an environment with multiple connections becomes difficult because each path may be a point of failure. Some of the most difficult problems to track are related to cables. It's not uncommon for IT staff to spend days trying to troubleshoot a problem only to find that it can be traced to a cable with an extreme bend in it.
There's also the complexity inherent in provisioning new physical servers in enterprises with separate networking and storage groups, both of which need to coordinate to provision NIC and HBA cards. In some cases, this could take weeks.
Traditional HBAs can't see virtual machines, which creates potential security and management issues. From a security standpoint, all applications running on a physical server must be in the same zone. From a management standpoint, it's difficult to tie applications to the storage if you can't identify the virtual machines. Ultimately, you need a better solution for greater scale and flexibility, and improved functionality.

Paseo FEAST
FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics), is a unique series of public dinners that use community support to provide micro-grants to artists, helping them bring their visions to life. A project of the Paseo Arts Association, the fourth Paseo FEAST event will take place on April 23, 2013 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Picasso Café, 3009 Paseo Dr, Oklahoma City.
At each FEAST, patrons purchase a $30 ticket that pays for dinner and a ballot. As the evening progresses, five different artists will present their proposals to the group and vie for votes. The artist receiving the most votes at the event is awarded a grant, with the amount depending on the evening's ticket sales. Last year's grants ranged from $700 to $1700 at our first three FEAST events.
Presenting artists will be: Narciso Argüelles, Maria Chaverri, Helen Grant (for OKC.NET), Geoffrey Krawczyk, and Stacey D. Miller. Argüelles will propose his project: Chicano X Chicano, which he describes as "Chicano cultural art made by a Chicano artist with a goal of education and community involvement." The project will include paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, and installation focused on Mexican and Chicano cultural icons.
Designer Maria Chaverri will present a collection of couture garments designed specifically for breast cancer survivors. Her work seeks to challenge retail measurements of femininity by working with individual women whose bodies have been changed by their struggles with cancer.
Helen Grant, managing editor of the local cultural website okc.net, aims to create a video project that brings together local musicians in celebration of the craft of poetry. Beginning during national poetry month in April, artists will be interviewed about how poetry inspires their work and will perform an original song based on their favorite poet or poem.
Krawczyk's project Breaking Bread is an ongoing exploration of the complicated relationship between natives and non-natives in the state of Oklahoma. The project began as a performance action in the Concept/OK exhibition, conceived as a dialog between the artist, native volunteers, and the general public, but the reality of the action soon became a much darker expose of the stark divide that exists within Oklahoman culture. Krawczyk plans to expand this dialog through film and other media.
Printmaker Stacey D. Miller seeks to purchase specialized printmaking equipment through her project, which will also include the development of an open printmaking studio, meeting a need for printmaking facilities in the Oklahoma City arts community.
Ashley Griffith, owner of a.k.a. Gallery on Paseo and chair of the Paseo Arts Association's FEAST committee explained that "FEAST is a creative and inexpensive way for those who support the arts to help them directly. Particularly for young, emerging artists, this project can help them secure resources that will allow them to fulfill their creative visions."
Tickets for the event are $30 and reservations can be made through the Paseo Artists Association's website, www.thepaseo.com. For more information, please call 405-525-2688.
Where: Picasso Cafe
Phone: 602-2002

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw," has died. He was 83.
A press release from Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made.
Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry RFD," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character - a service station attendant - on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.
Lindsey told The Associated Press in 1985 that "America has grown up with me. Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol' Goober."

The Kentucky Senate unanimously passed a bill Monday that would allow those in prison to seek DNA testing to prove their innocence.
Senate Bill 23's sponsor, Sen. John Schickel, R-Union, said the bill "is a matter of justice."
According to the Innocence Project, a national organization affiliated with the Benjamin Cardoza School of Law, Yeshiva University in New York, 302 serving felony prison time have been proven innocent using DNA testing.
Currently under Kentucky law, only those on death row can seek to have their convictions overturned using the DNA testing technology.
Schickel's bill makes a concession to prosecutors who want to exclude those who plead guilty or take an Alford Plea, something Schickel said he'd prefer not to do, but was willing to accept because passage of the amended bill is a significant improvement over the current law.
Some senators, like Robin Webb, D-Grayson, objected to the change, but in the end voted for the bill for the same reason – that it nonetheless represents a major improvement. Webb argues an Alford Plea is maintaining one's innocence.
(An Alford Plea allows a defendant to avoid pleading guilty while recognizing the weight of the evidence is likely enough to convict him. Usually in such cases, an Alford Plea has been negotiated in return for a lighter sentence.)
In explaining her floor vote Monday, Webb said the bill "is not perfect but it is a great, great start."
Another Democratic Senator, Kathy Stein of Lexington, shares Webb's concerns, but like Webb voted for Schickel's bill. She said it serves the interests of justice.
"If we have a person in prison who is innocent of a crime, that means the true perpetrator is still on the loose," Stein said.
Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, also spoke in favor of the bill, noting he was an assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for the first five years of his legal career.
Others, like the state's chief Public Advocate, Ed Monahan, and Joe Blaney of the Innocence Project, contend there are times when an innocent defendant nonetheless agrees to plead guilty – for a variety of reasons, usually to avoid an even longer or harsher sentence.
Rep. Johnny Bell, D-Glasgow, has a similar bill in the House which does not include the exceptions of guilty or Alford pleas. He has sponsored such a bill in the past but couldn't get it passed in the Senate.
Bell said Monday afternoon his bill will receive a hearing Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee. He said he understands prosecutors concerns about some guilty pleas but he doesn't understand the exception for Alford Pleas.
The final Senate vote was 38-0 in favor of the bill.

HDR Cookbook – Requirements
10Shares Twitter 0 Facebook 7 Google+ 3 Pin It Share 0 10 Flares ×
In this section, I will give you a brief overview of what you need to cook some HDR with me. The goal of the HDR Cookbook is not to give you instructions on how to use 10 different alternative software tools (e.g. Photoshop and GIMP). I have found my own little collection of tools that does the job for me, and I am going to refer specifically to these tools. Having said that, however, these are the most widely used tools for this kind of work, and you will also find that most of the techniques can be easily transferred to other (possibly free) tools.
I use the following software:
- Photomatix Pro (currently Version 4.1)
- Topaz Photoshop Bundle: This is a suite of different Photoshop filters that comes in very handy in a lot of occasions. You can download a test version for free, and the full version comes at an affordable cost. I heavily use Topaz Adjust, Topaz Denoise and Topaz ReMask. Some other filters are used occasionally.
- Photoshop CS4
- Geosetter – for geotagging
- exiftool – for copying EXIF data from one image to another included in Geosetter
Furthermore, the following hardware is used:
- Windows PC:
- 4 cores with 2,8 GHz
- 8 GB of memory (Photoshop eats up to 4,5 GB)
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet: This is a very important tool. Doing serious image editing with a mouse is not possible. We will be literally painting on the images (for masking and other tasks). If you enjoy the kind of post-processing discussed here, get a graphics tablet! It does not need to be big and expensive.
Do You Really Need All This Stuff???
No! Of course, if you have a similar collection of software and hardware tools, you will find that it is easy to work with the recipes. However, the HDR Cookbook explains a lot of principles that may also be applied using other hardware and software.

MINT HILL, N.C.– Mint Hill authorities said they have found the body of a teen that went missing earlier this week.
Mint Hill police said they found the body of 16-year-old Kayla Campbell in a pond on Sable-Cap Road around 12:15 a.m. Thursday.
Her cause of death and the circumstances surrounding her death will be the focus of the investigation moving forward, Mint Hill police said in a statement.
Officials began draining the pond around 1 p.m. Wednesday hoping to find evidence leading to Campbell.
Renee Boger, Kayla's aunt said in reference to the search starting up once more, "It's very hard. We appreciate everything that everybody is doing, and the police are doing everything they can."
Wednesday afternoon, massive pumps were brought in to drain the pond. Some points of the pond, according to residents who live nearby, are as deep as 12 feet.
On Monday morning divers with Mint Hill police and the Charlotte Fire Department found the missing teen's cell phone, bicycle and bike helmet.
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Department K-9 unit joined other crews in the search Wednesday.
Rodney Benfield is a neighbor of the Campbell's. His family joined other Wednesday morning in a private search for Kayla.
"It's tough, because we personally knew her. My son kind of grew up with her, and they've been friends for a while."
The girl's father says his daughter was last seen at the family's home around 2:30 Sunday afternoon.
A seven to eight square mile radius between Bartlett, Glenn Croft and the Summerwood subdivisions, near Kayla's home, has been thoroughly searched, police said Tuesday.
Campbell and her family live about a quarter-mile from the pond.
Campbell's parents told NBC Charlotte that she suffers from depression.
Campbell attended Independence High School where there will be extra counselors on hand for students, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools spokesperson.
Also, students and staff will wear yellow ribbons on Friday in memory of Campbell.
The Charlotte Observer contributed to this report.

syslog Configuration
In practice, most log messages are written to files. If you list the full path to a filename as a line's action in syslog.conf, messages that match that line will be appended to that file. (If the file doesn't exist, syslog will create it.) In the syslog.conf line above, we instructed syslog to send matched messages to the file /var/log/mail.
You can send messages other places too. An action can be a file, a named pipe, a device file, a remote host or a user's screen. Pipes usually are used for debugging. Device files people use tend to be TTYs, but some people also like to send security information to /dev/lp0, that is, to a local line printer. Logs that have been printed out can't be erased or altered by an intruder, and this is an excellent use for old dot-matrix printers.
Remote logging is one of the most useful features of syslog. If you specify a hostname or IP address preceded by an "@" sign as a line's action, messages that match that line will be sent to that remote host. For example, the line
*.emerg @mothership.mydomain.org
will tell syslogd to send all messages with emerg priority to the host named mothership.mydomain.org. Note that the remote host's (in this example, mothership's) syslogd process will need to have been started with the -r flag in order for it to accept your log messages. By default, syslogd does not accept messages from remote systems.
If you run a central logserver, which I highly recommend, you'll want to consider having some sort of access controls on it for incoming messages. At the very least you should consider TCPwrappers' hosts-access (source-IP-based) controls or maybe even local firewall rules (ipchains or iptables).
You can list multiple facilities separated by commas in a single syslog.conf selector. To extend our original syslog.conf line to include both mail and UUCP messages (still with priority notice or higher), you could use this line:
mail,uucp.notice /var/log/mail
The same is not true of priorities. Remember that only one priority or priority wildcard may be specified in a single selector.
You may, however, specify multiple selectors separated by semicolons. When a line contains multiple selectors, they're evaluated from left to right; you should list general selectors first, followed by more specific selectors. Think of selectors as filters: as a message is passed through the line from left to right, it passes first through coarse filters and then through more granular ones.
Continuing our one-line example, suppose we still want important mail and UUCP messages to be logged to /var/log/mail, but we'd like to exclude UUCP messages with priority alert. Our line then looks like this:
mail,uucp.notice;uucp.!=alert /var/log/mail
Actually, syslogd's behavior isn't as predictable as this may imply. Listing selectors that contradict each other or that go from specific to general, rather than the other way around, can yield unexpected results. Therefore, it's more accurate to say that for best results, list general selectors to the left and their exceptions (and/or more specific selectors) to the right.
Wherever possible, keep things simple. You can use the logger command to test your syslog.conf rules (see the "Testing System Logging with logger" section toward the end of this article).
Note that in the second selector (uucp.!=alert) we used the prefix "!=" before the priority to signify "not equal to". If we wanted to exclude UUCP messages with priority alert and higher (i.e, alert and emerg), we could omit the "=":
mail,uucp.notice;uucp.!alert /var/log/mail
You might wonder what will happen to a UUCP message of priority info; this matches the second selector, so it should be logged to /var/log/mail, right? Based on the above examples, it won't. Since the line's first selector matches only mail and UUCP messages of priority notice and higher, such a message wouldn't be evaluated against the second selector.
There's nothing to stop you from having a different line for dealing with info-level UUCP messages, however. You even can have more than one line deal with these if you want. Unlike a firewall rule-base, each log message is tested against all lines in /etc/syslog.conf and acted on as many times as it matches.
Suppose we want emergency messages broadcast to all logged-in users as well as being written to their respective application logs. We could use something like the sample shown in Listing 1 to achieve this. Note the "-" sign in front of the write-to-file actions. This tells syslogd not to synchronize the specified log file after writing a message that matches that line.
Listing 1. A Sample syslog.conf File
Skipping synchronization increases the chances of introducing inconsistencies such as missing or incomplete log messages into those files, but it decreases disk utilization and thus improves performance. Use the minus sign, therefore, in lines that you expect to result in frequent file writes.
In Listing 1 we see some useful redundancy. Kernel warnings plus all messages of error-and-higher priority, except authpriv messages, are printed to the X-console window. All messages having priority of emergency and higher are printed there too and are also written to the screens of all logged-in users.
Furthermore, all mail messages and kernel messages are written to their respective log files. All messages of all priorities (except mail messages of any priority) are written to /var/log/messages.
The previous examples were adapted from the default syslog.conf that SuSE 7.1 put on one of my systems. But why isn't such a default syslog.conf file fine the way it is? Why change it at all?
Maybe you needn't, but probably you should. In most cases default syslog.conf files either assign to important messages at least one action that won't bring those messages to your attention effectively (e.g., by sending messages to a TTY console on a system you only access via SSH), or they handle at least one type of message with too much or too little redundancy to meet your needs.
Table 1 summarizes syslog.conf syntax, facility values, severity values and action types. Note that the three main columns of this table are independent; there's no correlation between facilities, severities and actions, i.e., a message may be sent to any facility with any severity and have any allowed action performed on it. Note also that the numeric facility and severity codes are provided strictly for reference; you should not use these in syslog.conf, but you may come across them in source code or in a packet-dump of network traffic.

Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Network Protocols
What is a Network Protocol?
Network protocols defines a language of rules and conventions for communication between network devices.
What Is Packet Switching?
Packet switching is a method used by network protocols including IP and Frame Relay to deliver data across a computer network connection in individually delivered small pieces.
Introduction to MAC Addresses
In computer networking, the Media Access Control (MAC) address is just as important as an IP address. Learn more about how MAC addressing works on Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks.
ARP - Address Resolution Protocol
ARP converts an IP address to its corresponding physical network address. ARP is a low-level protocol usually implemented in the device drivers of network operating systems. ARP is most commonly utilized on Ethernet networks.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a network protocol sometimes used by broadband modems for connecting to DSL Internet service.
Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol implements a standard algorithm to prevent redundant transmission of data along intermediate hops between a source and destination host.
NTP - Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol is a server based system to synchronize time of day clocks computer across the Internet.
SOCKS is an Internet protocol designed to allow clients to communicate with proxy servers (or VPN servers) through network firewalls.
Ultra-wideband - UWB - is a communication method used in wireless networking to achieve high bandwidth connections with low power utilization. Originally designed for use in commercial radar systems, UWB technology is gradually being adopted in consumer electronics and wireless personal area networks (PANs).
X.25 is a standard suite of protocols used for packet switching and delivery between networks. The X.25 protocols works at the physical, data link, and network layers (Layers 1 through 3) of the OSI model.
SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP is a standard TCP/IP protocol for network management. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor network availability and performance, and control devices to help recover from technical issues.
H.323 is a protocol standard for multimedia communications. H.323 was designed to support real-time transfer of audio and video data over packet networks.
SS7 - Signaling System 7
The SS7 protocol provides mechanisms for exchanging special-purpose messages on public telephone networks.
Ethereal Network Protocol Analyzer
Ethereal is a high quality utility program commonly used by students, researchers and some companies to monitor network traffic.
"Internet Core Protocols - The Definitive Guide"
This book features in-depth technical background on fundamental network protocols such as TCP, ICMP and ARP.
Introduction to 60 GHz Wireless Network Protocols
The two most prevalent 60 GHz wireless networking technology standard are WirelessHD and WiGig. Compared to Wi-Fi and other forms of wireless, the 60 GHz protocols have some compelling advantages but also limitations.
Guide to Wireless Network Protocols
Beside Wi-Fi, a wide range of other wireless communications protocols are in use on today's computers networks. How many can you name?

Interim Superintendent Amber Dixon made it official last night: Fran Wilson will be her chief academic officer.
Wilson, who is currently a community superintendent, will have a contract "layered over" her existing contract, Board President Lou Petrucci said.
"So in case a new superintendent comes in and wants to put someone else in, they have that option," he said.
Wilson will be making $150,000, he said -- $18,000 a year less than former Deputy Superintendent Folasade Oladele, and about $29,000 more than Wilson makes as community superintendent. Will Wilson's position be filled?
"We're restructuring our exempt positions and central office staff," Petrucci said. "Different contracts will be expiring in the next few months. Some will not be renewed. Other new positions will be created."
As I've mentioned before, critics note that Wilson has little experience as a teacher -- she worked for 10 years in the district as an elementary school counselor. The only teaching experience listed on her resume is as a summer school teacher at School 68.
She has served as assistant principal at Southside Elementary (including a few months in there as acting principal), principal at Hamlin Park School 74, and principal at Makowski.
Dixon dismisses criticism of Wilson.
"Fran Wilson brings to the position a background of turning around a low-performing school, School 74. She's academically strong. She understands student achievement. And she's a strong leader," Dixon said. "Her interests are those of the students of the district. She has great respect for students, teachers and principals in this district. Her hard work speaks for itself."
Critics have also noted that Wilson was among the administrators who collected stipends on top of their district salaries for work on the Leadership Academy. Wilson was paid $19,000 over two years.
And, following a district investigation, she also ended up giving back two personal days and six and a half vacation days for compensate for district time she spent working on the academy.
"She did teach a course at the Leadership Academy. It's true," Dixon said. "But it's a new day in the Buffalo schools. "If there's a feeling that [Wilson's appointment] is part of the old guard, people should trust that the board of education only has interest in moving forward."

To protect endangered Northwest salmon, the National Marine Fisheries Service suggests giving Oregon and Washington state officials the authority to kill sea lions, which last year gobbled up more than 4 percent of the salmon running through the Columbia River's Bonneville Dam. The action would likely result in about 30 sea lion deaths a year. The federal agency is taking public comment through Feb. 19 on its recommendation and three alternatives: taking no action, using nonlethal weapons to deter sea lions (which has so far been ineffective), and killing all of the 150 or so sea lions within five miles of the dam.

In dog and cats with generalized pemphigus foliaceus lesions, widespread erythema and exfoliation can be noted. Massive exfoliation,
especially if extending beyond the borders of the original lesions, is more suggestive of bacterial infections than pemphigus
foliaceus. Systemic signs such as fever, lethargy, anorexia, and lymphadenopathy can occur with pemphigus foliaceus.15,33 Systemic signs seem more common in patients with generalized lesions. Pruritus, especially in patients with generalized
disease, is variable in dogs and cats with pemphigus foliaceus.5,14,15 Careful questioning of a pet owner can reveal whether the skin lesions developed before the pruritus. This timing of lesion
development is in contrast to allergies, which usually start with pruritus.

The HPV vaccine protects against infection by certain strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV can cause cervical cancer and genital warts.
Vaccine - HPV; Immunization - HPV; Gardasil; Cervarix; HPV2; HPV4; Vaccine to prevent cervical cancer
HPV is a common virus that is spread through sexual contact. There are many different types of HPV. Many types do not cause problems. But certain types of HPV can lead to:
Two vaccines called HPV2 (Cervarix) and HPV4 (Gardasil) are approved:
These vaccines do not treat cervical cancer.
HPV4 (Gardasil) is approved for:
HPV2 (Cervarix) is approved for:
Girls ages 11 and 12 should receive the HPV vaccine series:
Girls and women ages 13 to 26:
Boys ages 11 to 12 should receive the HPV4 (Gardasil) vaccine series:
Boys and men ages 13 to 21:
Men ages 22 to 26:
Pregnant women should not receive this vaccine. But there have been no problems found in women who received the vaccine during pregnancy, before they knew they were pregnant.
The most common side effects are fainting, dizziness, nausea, headache, and skin reactions at the site where the shot was given.
The HPV vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV that lead to cervical cancer. Girls and women should still receive regular screening (Pap smear) to look for early signs of cervical cancer.
The HPV vaccine does not protect against other infections that can be spread during sexual contact.

Bioorganic and medicinal chemistry, broadly defined, are fields of biological chemistry in which organic chemistry plays a significant role. Bioorganic chemistry includes topics such as enzymic and enzyme-like catalysis, protein/enzyme structure-function relationships, enzyme cofactor chemistry and biochemistry, nucleic acid chemistry and biochemistry, bioconjugates, bioprobes, and molecular recognition. Research in medicinal chemistry focuses on designing new types of drug molecules utilizing cutting edge techniques such as combinatorial chemistry, computer-aided molecular design, and new types of highly sophisticated receptor-based and cell biological assays for drug activity. In addition, the more traditional areas of lead compound development through molecular modification and the use of quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) still play an important role in medicinal chemistry. Students in bioorganic/medicinal chemistry at Oregon develop a solid foundation in organic chemistry. In addition, they gain a strong biological perspective by being in a department with an outstanding biochemistry/molecular biology division.
Bioorganic research at Oregon involves work on new types of metal ion chelators with a focus on calcium binding (Doxsee); and work on the design of new types of high performance tips for atomic force microscopy (Keana). Medicinal chemistry research at Oregon has involved: the design and evaluation of inhibitors of phospholipase A2, an important enzyme in cellular signal transduction pathways and a possible target for anticancer drugs (Keana); and development of new drugs against stroke, Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders (Keana, in collaboration with Acea-CoCensys, a drug discovery company).

Arts and crafts lovers had the unique opportunity to meet hundreds of local artists in Peekskill this weekend for the 15th Annual Open Studios.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey, whose district now includes Peekskill, as well as Cortlandt, Yorktown and Mt. Kisco, joined Mayor Mary Foster, City Council members and the Peekskill Democratic Committee Chairwoman Marina Ciotti to take a tour of local businesses and galleries during the Open Studios event Sunday. Lowey stood amongst pain splatters, ceramics, piles of paintings and artist tools while chatting with artists about all the city has to offer by way of art, dining, entertainment and business. Artists were glad to meet their new congressional representative to discuss their art and role in the community.
"Rep. Lowey really got a good view of how vibrant the art scene was very impressed with what is happening in Peekskill," Ciotti said. "She loved seeing the and the Clay Studios at the Hat Factory," Ciotti said, adding that local residents were welcoming and excited to meet their new congresswoman.
Lowey also took a ride on Stella the Peekskill trolley, which was providing transportation to all visitors from downtown to the Hat Factory and other studios around the city.
Council members, performers, and many residents also stopped by different galleries to chat with each other and visitors. Artist Robert Barthelmes, who was volunteering at the information booth, estimated about 300 people had come by around 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
"It has been a tremendous success and it was only possible due to the teamwork of everyone on the Peekskill Arts Alliance Steering Committee, the businesses, the city of Peekskill and the artists themselves," said Maureen Winzig, Chair of the Open Studios events. Winzig also noted that she was glad to have met former Mayor of Peekskill Fran Gibbs, under whose leadership the city arts district was formed.
Open Studios did not just feature the popular galleries in the downtown, local artists and vendors without storefronts were invited to show and sell their work at an outdoor crafts fair on Esther Street.
"This is my first big thing," said Lis High, a Peekskill resident who has been making colorful jewelry and fun scarves for friends for years and who was just convinced to try to make a profit from her talent.
"I like that the artist community is evolving and to get to experience it. And I like the camaraderie of artists," said 20-year Peekskill resident Jim Brooks, who has been attending Open Studios for the last three years. "I feel like I missed out on it the first 12 years," Brooks said of having not attended the event until recently. Brooks now makes the most of the Open Studios, visiting many galleries all weekend.
Local artists will now focus on strengthening the new Peekskill Arts Alliance to cultivate and promote the artist community in the city. More on that on Patch in coming weeks.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — It's not exactly the kind of image that Gov. Andrew Cuomo would like to convey to voters but his recent plan to help the hard-hit upstate regions could project New York state as a house divided.
The point is, if the state chief executive can't show leadership in his own backyard, voters in other states some day may be reluctant to entrust him to the Oval Office in the White House.
Take, for example, the Cuomo strategy to build at least three new casinos upstate at the same time the Resorts World Casino prepares a vigorous strategy to attract tourists to its Queen's location at the Aqueduct Raceway.
Based on the upstate vs downstate plans, the emerging turf battle sends another reminder of the endless friction in the Empire State. Obviously, the lawmakers representing metropolitan New York City have the edge — strength in numbers and clout — over communities like Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Rochester. It's a safe bet that lawmakers and not the state chief executive will hold sway on this issue.
Yet another grandiose scheme, unveiled in a New York Post article Tuesday, features a massive casino and hotel project which the baseball Mets' owners reportedly want to build adjacent to their Citi Field stadium in the Queens. For the Mets, as one of their franchise officers noted, the investment would be an opportunity to recover part of the $162 million loss the Major League team suffered from the Bernie Madff Ponzi scandal. (Madoff, 71, a stockbroker who defrauded thousands of clients of billions of dollars, is serving a 150-year prison term.)
What's troublesome about this latest round of casinos — wherever they might end up — is the stark reality that New York State has apparently run out of ideas to create jobs, to improve the quality of life in scores of communities, and to make a concerted effort to lure high-tech business and industry. Instead, the emphasis it seems is on building gambling halls — none to match the splendor and appeal of Las Vegas — to suck the money out of one city or town into another.
PARTY TIME?: "The wife and I drove down Third Street Sunday (when the Super Bowl was on TV) and there wasn't one car parked anywhere in front of those taverns. And they call that 'The Entertainment District?' " — a guest on the "Vince Anello Show" (WJJL Radio).
An employee at another South End business offered this solution to the dismal Third Street scene: Most of those bars don't have television sets and there are very few parking spots any way. So most people just stayed home to watch the game.
OUT OF THE PAST:"I Remember Olcott," part of the popular documentary film series at the Erie Canal Discovery Center, 24 Church St., Lockport, will be featured at 11 a.m. Feb. 23 General admission, $6; seniors, $5; and students, $4. Additional information available at 439-0431.
In the early 1900s, Olcott was a favorite destination for thousands of daily visitors every summer, arriving via the New York Central Railroad excursions from across the state. The landmark Olcott Hotel near the beach area was demolished in 1937.
FOOTNOTE: Overheard in the Earl W. Brydges Library, Main and Lockport streets: "That President George Bush was really a well-read man. When he heard that the creator of Cliff Notes died, Bush was real upset because that was his favorite author" — a patron checking a book out.Contact reporter Don Glynn at 282-2311, ext. 2246.

Credit union reports its cash mob program has exceeded expectations.
Council also serves Cornerstone League member credit unions.
Minnesota CUSO says correspondent and retail lending both showing payback improvements.
Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), primary sponsor of S.2231, which would increase the member business lending cap to 27.5% of assets, received loud cheers as he spoke in favor of the legislation to about 500 gathered in Washington Nov. 27 to hike the hill in favor of the bill.
The Tuesday night reception drew lawmakers, credit unions and business owners and kicked off CUNA's latest Hike the Hill.
Even in a still-recovering economy, financing may not be that hard to come by if entrepreneurs follow a checklist of items credit unions look for.
A year after CU Companies launched a secondary market option for funding mortgages, the CUSO said 33 partners have signed on.
Despite having a small percentage of business members, some credit unions believe they are now better positioned to grow their penetration in the small business market than they were prior to the start of the financial crisis a few years ago.
