Republican Rep. Tom Reed of Corning will be in Buffalo on Friday, and his visit will prove far from a social call. He will attend a lunch with influential Republicans hosted by Erie County Republican Chairman Nicholas A. Langworthy as upcoming reapportionment continues to provide intriguing possibilities.
GOP sources say there is always a possibility that the former mayor of Corning could end up in a portion of Erie County if the makers of congressional districts somehow go wild with their boundary pens. But even before that process gets off the ground, Reed now stands as the only Republican member of Congress with any ties to Western New York (Cattaraugus and Allegany counties), and Langworthy says it is good for him to make the rounds here.
"It's a good opportunity to meet some fine Buffalo folks," Langowrthy said.
The chairman also noted that Reed has signed up for his campaign staff Pam Baker, a veteran fundraiser who previously worked for former Reps. Tom Reynolds and Chris Lee.

We Are Knox...
David '70 & Judy W. Lambert '71
Members of the President's Circle Giving Society
Members of the National Alumni Council
Economics Majors
When our daughter Katie decided to attend Knox, it gave us an opportunity to
re-connect with the College and, through her experience, recall many of the
feelings and memories of our Knox years. Professors Pillsbury, Hane, and Haring, among others, have had a lasting impact on our lives, and experiences both inside and outside the classroom awakened in us a general curiosity and love of learning that continues to this day.
Obviously, Katie attended Knox during a very different era than we did, but it was reassuring for us to discover how much the values and the atmosphere of the campus remained the same. Her Knox experience reinforced our belief in the benefits of a small school liberal arts education. We believe that a Knox education, one that includes exposure to a variety of educational disciplines and ideas, makes one a more well-rounded person. We see the results first-hand through Katie and her friends -- these bright, active, young people are taking advantage of their Knox educations and reaping the benefits as they pursue graduate school and careers.
We give to Knox because we want to make sure these opportunities continue. We support Knox through an annual contribution to the Dr. Wilbur Pillsbury Scholarship Fund, in honor of one of the finest men we have ever known, and to the Knox Fund, asking and trusting that Knox will use our gift where it is needed most.
If you feel that your Knox experience was significant in your life, like it was in ours, please help us sustain Knox and its impact on current and future students.
David and Judy both graduated from Knox with degrees in economics, are parents of a Knox graduate (Kathryn '05) and are active alumni volunteers -- Judy volunteers for the Offices of Advancement and Admission, David for Admission and the Bastian Center for Career and Pre-Professional Development. They both serve on the National Alumni Council. Members of the President's Circle since 2000, David and Judy give to the Knox Fund and the Dr. Wilbur Pillsbury Scholarship Fund.

If a neighbour barged into my room I would use some very strong language in telling him to get out.
Please do not edit your question after it has received a response. Such editing can make the response hard for others to understand.
I would just say leave the room, though this might be seen as a bit rude, so you could explain that you want to be left on your own for the evening.

The proposed mining bill has been filling the radio airwaves with proponents making a full court press to pass the Republican version, which is extremely friendly to Gogebic Taconite Company. Let me, for the record, clearly state, I am not opposed to responsible mining and I made a very good living off of the mining industry for thirty years However, I am opposed to getting the short end of the stick when negotiating a deal.
There isn't a mine anywhere in the world that doesn't have negative environmental impacts, some better and some worse. Given, that the proposed taconite mine will have minimal and controllable environmental impacts, and then its development should go ahead, but only after a thorough investigation. The state cannot nor should not commit to the mine until after all the studies are completed, including the EPA and Corps of Engineers. Short circuiting the process will only turn around to bite us in the back side.
Another element of the proposed bill is that state taxes will be assessed only on company profits and not ore tonnage produced. This provision will give the company a blatant opportunity to either greatly reduce tax payments or eliminate them altogether. Most states have severance taxes on the resources removed and I don't know why we would want to be any different.
The bill that I reviewed proposed reducing the tax monies share to the local government for impact from 100% to only 60% with 40% going into the state's general fund. This seems to be a significant change and I would like to know the rationale behind the proposal. It was my understanding that the current administration and legislature was committed to keeping as much money close to home as possible.
I would rather see no deal at all rather than a bad deal. I really think we are being way to generous with Gogebic.
Something else that I am following is the widespread move by Republican controlled state legislatures wanting to change the "winner take all" Electoral College electors to the Congressional District System like Maine and Nebraska. Since the Republicans controlled the majority of state legislatures after the 2010 elections and had the opportunity to redistrict, after the census, to favor Republicans; they see an opportunity to "jury rig" the selection of Electoral College electors to give them greater advantage in Presidential/Vice Presidential elections.
However, the Electoral College System is an antiquated system and it is high time to eliminate it altogether and elect the President/Vice President by direct popular vote. Forty years ago, we were only a US Senate vote away from the ending the system, but conservative southern senators filibustered the amendment into oblivion and President Nixon pulled his support.
The Congressional District System is seen by the Republicans as a means to offset their general failure to gain the support of Latino voters. As minority communities grow and become influential in deciding future elections, the Republicans generally recognize their vulnerability if they can't stack the deck in their favor.
My final musing concerns the movement to collect DNA for arrested felons and certain misdemeanor arrests. I can understand why some law enforcement officials would want this information, but as far as I'm concerned it is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment. What I find a bit strange is that those who so strongly defend the Second Amendment as it's written, are so unwilling to equally defend the Fourth.
The creation of this extended data base will allow law enforcement to go on "fishing expeditions" without probable cause, which is required for a search warrant. It is to all our benefit if law enforcement has to play by rules, which support the assumption of innocence until proven guilty. This statute, if enacted, will change the fundamental judicial philosophy and allow if arrested for one thing, then the arrestee will be subjected to a data search that has absolutely nothing to do with what they were arrested for. This is a bad piece of legislation and should be resisted at all levels.

Home values jump 16.6 percent in Sonoma County
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
Is your home worth more today than it was a year ago?
An analysis of repeat home sales revealed home prices are rising in Sonoma County and across the country.

Change in home values in December, compared to a year earlier.
Source: CoreLogic
A new report that analyzes repeat home sales suggested the answer is yes.
Home values jumped 16.6 percent in Sonoma County over the past year, the sharpest increase in more than seven years, according to figures issued Tuesday by CoreLogic, a property information service.
When distressed sales were excluded, county home prices increased 11.4 percent in December, compared to a year ago, according to CoreLogic.
The company's report differs from others that simply track median home prices. CoreLogic's Home Price Index evaluates repeat sales of houses and condominiums, factoring in the time between transactions, the types of homes and whether the deals involve a foreclosure, short sale or home with equity.
Experts said the news fits with what they're seeing, including other reports on home prices.
"All the data is telling the same story," said Rick Laws, vice president of Pacific Union International in Santa Rosa.
Laws, who compiles The Press Democrat's monthly housing report, has calculated the median price for a single-family home in Sonoma County rose to $389,750 in December, an increase of 23.7 percent from a year earlier. Part of that increase represents appreciation, while some is merely due to a jump in sales in the more expensive move-up and million-dollar home segments.
CoreLogic reported Tuesday that U.S. home prices rose 8.3 percent in December, compared with a year ago. It was the biggest gain since May 2006, near the height of the housing boom.
Excluding distressed sales, prices increased 7.5 percent nationwide. December marked the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases.
"We are heading into 2013 with home prices on the rebound," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "The upward trend in home prices in 2012 was broad-based, with 46 of 50 states registering gains for the year. All signals point to a continued improvement in the fundamentals underpinning the U.S. housing market recovery."
Statewide, home values rose 12.6 percent in December, compared with a year ago, or 12.8 percent when distressed sales were excluded. Only Arizona, Nevada and Idaho registered bigger gains.
The December price increase was the largest registered in Sonoma County since October 2005. It amounted to the ninth straight month where county home prices increased on a year-over-year basis.
Sonoma State University economics professor Robert Eyler said a large increase isn't surprising after home prices tanked and the economy started to rebound.
"When you fall flat on your face, movements up can be relatively rapid in terms of percentage," Eyler said.
The rise in value could mean fewer homeowners remain underwater, Eyler said. The term refers to those who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.
An estimated 26.5 percent of county homeowners with mortgages, or nearly 28,000 properties, were underwater last summer, according to the most recent data from CoreLogic. In contrast, in late 2009 the number was about 34,000 homeowners, or 32 percent of those with mortgages.
Curt Thor, a Novato appraiser and president of the North Bay chapter of the Real Estate Appraisers Association, low interest rates have fueled an increase in prices in Sonoma County.
"A lot of it has to do with the interest rates. They're so low," he said.
CoreLogic said its repeat-sales index is based on more than 65 million transactions and other "observations" nationally over the past 30 years. The index doesn't compute a dollar figure for the value of a typical home. And CoreLogic's report doesn't offer perspective on how far home prices fell during the housing market crash or how much prices have rebounded since.
County home sales peaked in 2005, when the median price hit $595,000, according to The Press Democrat's report. Prices then plummeted and the median price declined to an annual low of $325,000 in 2011.
Eyler said he isn't worried that home prices now are rising too quickly. But lasting increases will depend on the ability of local companies to boost hiring and compensation.
"If your local economy doesn't have rising incomes or rising job growth or both, it's very difficult to sustain a housing market," Eyler said. "It's just that simple."

"Nice Blinds"
By Sue from New Port Richey, FL
These verticals are very pretty and thick. We did have one problem. The rods arrived 5/8" too long and the vanes of the blinds are about 1/2" too long. We had to have a contractor cut down the rod and the individual vanes. Other than that, we are happy with them.View this product

- Best Muscle Pump Possible
First to combine 8,000mg of L-citruline malate and 200mg of Quercetin. L-citrulline has been scientifically shown to reach superior peak plasma arginine levels compared to a larger dose of L-arginine. Quercetin has been clinically shown to increase key markers of nitric oxide production and reduce a vasoconstricting factor.
- Faster Muscle Growth
Delivers a clinically proven 5,000mg dose of creatine.
- Enhancement of the Muscle- and Strength-Building Process
A 3,200mg dose of beta-alanine has been clinically shown to enhance the muscle- and strength-building process. Most other pre-workout formulas deliver a questionable dose of this ingredient hidden in a proprietary blend.
- Longer and Harder Training Sessions
First pre-workout to deliver a 2,500mg dose of betaine, which has been shown to improve muscular endurance. Most other pre-workouts fail to deliver this powerful ingredient.
- Get More for Your Money Unlike the competition, Performance Series products contain superior key ingredients in clinically dosed amounts that are fully disclosed so you know exactly what you are paying for.
- Best-In-Class FlavorEvery flavor won in head-to-head third-party taste tests against the leading competitors.

Exotic Fruits and Berries Boast Big AntioxidantsExotic Fruits and Berries Boast Big AntioxidantsRuby-red pomegranate is an antioxidant superstar
From South America to Malaysia, from Hawaii to China, fruits, berries, and their juices are being hailed as the new superfoods. Boasting high amounts of antioxidants and other vital nutrients, these superfoods can play a supporting role in a healthy diet. They are widely available as antioxidant juices, supplements, or added ingredients in smoothies, recipes, and other premade products.
Rush of antioxidants
Antioxidants are the body's armed forces, working to prevent free-radical damage to the body's cells, which is associated with premature aging and disease.
- Pomegranate: Ruby-red pomegranate is an antioxidant superstar. The distinctive sweet-tart flavor of the seeds and juice adds flare to food and drink. Native to Iran and the northern Himalayas in India, the pomegranate today is grown in California and Arizona.
- Acai: Another rich antioxidant source with a notable taste, acai is a like blueberry crossed with dark chocolate. Derived from Amazon palmberries, its rich purple pigment denotes a high antioxidant level. According to the manufacturers, acai is also high in amino acids and fatty acids, which help to keep cell membranes supple. You'll find acai in smoothies, juices, teas, and powders.
Exotic fruits for vitality
A host of other fruits from around the world show promise for their health-promoting properties, though research is needed to confirm their benefits:
- Goji: The berries and juice of the goji fruit holds its nutritional treasures. From the Ningxia province of China, goji, a fruit of an evergreen shrub, was traditionally regarded as a longevity-promoting and strength-building tonic. Goji is high in antioxidants and amino acids, according to the manufacturers.
- Mangosteen: The juice of the native Malaysian mangosteen. Garcinia mangostanas contains a class of antioxidants called xanthones, which hold promise for their disease-fighting properties.
- Noni: Noni, or the morinda tree, is found in the Polynesian Islands and Hawaii. The fruit and its juice are used traditionally as a laxative and topically for skin ailments. Today noni producers tout it for its ability to aid a wide variety of conditions from improving asthma to assisting in weight loss.
- Maqui: According to the manufacturers of the maqui products, this Chilean berry has the highest known antioxidant content of any fruit and has been traditionally used by Mapuche Indians for supporting stamina, increasing strength, and promoting healthy immune response.
Keep it real
When trying new products-especially those that make big promises-do your research and consult your healthcare practitioner so you can make informed choices. Remember that moderation and variation are the keys to health, and a wide variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts and other protein sources, will work together to promote health and vigor.Kathleen Finn is a freelance writer and marketing consultant in the natural health industry.

Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
First time using this product. Got the Blue Raspberry flavour. All I can say was WOW! The taste was amazing. Went down great, no after taste at all. Once at the gym I had great energy. Noticed my rep range went up a few reps throughout my whole workout, and the pumps were right on. Great clean energy, not insane out of my mind, heart popping out of my chest energy like I've tried with some other products. For sure a great product, and would recommend this to anyone looking for great energy, and crazy pumps.
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
What I liked about vapor was 8 grams of citrulline, which Is a good amount, compared to what I have seen with other preworkouts. I would recommend and buy in the future, good job muscle tech I really like this product alot
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
Got this as a free sample to test the product. Blue raspberry....great taste! Muscles starting to pop again after being injured for several months. Helped with giving me a little extra boost of power to lift again!
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I thought this product was great ! I sustained energy throughout my training session, no jitters after ! I love the ingredients also ! Only thing I didn't like was the chalky taste and how strong it was ! Seems like you need a litre of water to mix it properly ! But at the end of the day it did the trick ! Good Supp Muscletech
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I was given this as a sample from muscle tech to try out and review. Normally I don't really like Fruit Punch flavors but I was quite surprised by this. I find Fruit Punch to be either quite bitter, or way to sweet. This was a perfect happy medium. This was honestly one of the better PWO's I've tried and have been looking to buy a tub since I tried it. I took it with a shaker cup full of water about 10 minutes before the gym. By the time I finished my first set I had an insane amount of energy and focus, but not enough to be uncomfortable. It lasted the full 1.5 hour lift and I still had energy to burn when I was done so I had a run! I didn't experience any crash and went about my day normally after I was done. I highly recommend this
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I found this product tasted great! It had a reasonable pump and with no crash or gut rot which was a huge plus!
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I typically look for something with a high dose of HCL. This doesn't exactly fall into that category and it has a very medicinal taste.
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I love this product gives you great energy, tastes awesome, my workouts are also feeling that much better and getting better results.
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I received a few samples of this product and it's really effective. I wasn't a huge fan of the Fruit Punch flavour because I found it to be a little artificial tasting. As for how it works, it's a great pre-workout drink. I usually workout after working all day so I'm usually pretty tired. I drink this on my way to the gym and it kicks in within about 5-10 minutes and I feel ready to workout. Overall, it's a really good pre-workout!
Comments about MuscleTech® Nano Vapor® - Fruit Punch:
I recieved a couple sample pouches of Nano Vapor as part of the MuscleTech Product Testing Team - thanks first for the opportunity to try your product without buying a container without knowing how well it works or tastes. Here is my review. I recieved two sample sized pouches of Fruit Punch flavour and reading the directions, it says try 1/3 of the pouch first, which I did. I will try the remaining 2/3 of the pouch tomorrow, and then the full pouch I have left the day after so I can fully gauge the effects. So far this review is for the lowest dose - I will post updates if there is a noticeable change in the dosages just to be precise and complete as I understand I may not feel full effects at this dosage. First off, on mixability, it actually mixes quite fast and easy - I was expecting some foaming or bubbles but there was none. So it blends a lot easier than Phase8 anyhow which I have also reviewed too. Well, the taste definitely needs a lot of work in my opinion, it is pretty gross to me and I had to force it down. 2/3 and a full pouch should be an interesting experience that being said. I am glad they offer other flavours, but disappointed I didn't get to try those instead of Fruit Punch. In the spirit of being completely transparent and honest with my review, I am NOT a fan of Fruit Punch to begin with for any brand or product, so your mileage may vary. As for effect, I did notice a bit of a perk up, increased focus and a sense of calmness that comes with good focus - but effects may vary depending on dose and I will try taking more with what I have left to see if any difference. No anxiety or jitters so far from it like some of the stronger preworkouts I have taken in the past, but a definite noticeable effect and I would call it a positive effect. If it wasn't for the nasty taste, I would rate it higher, but due to almost making me gag, I just can't give it a 5. Hope the mixology dept reads this and reformulates it. I would DEFINITELY buy this product if it came in White Grape. Gonna see if any different results from 2/3 and taking a full pouch as I have a 2/3 pouch serving and a full pouch remaining to try. Really wish they sent me Blue Raspberry or Green Apple but can't complain about a sample that saved me from buying a full tub and being disappointed by the taste so thank you for that MuscleTech, I hate wasting supplements.

Mass. riled up over "relaxation" brownieCONWAY, Mass (Reuters) Two towns in the state of Massachusetts are moving to ban sales of a "relaxation" brownie named Lazy Cakes, laced with melatonin and sold in food markets, after children who ate them required hospitalization.
The mellowing chocolate treats, which sell for $3 to $5 at food stores and some night clubs, are legal but contain nearly 8 milligrams of the supplemental sleep aid, which is about 25 times the usual amount prescribed for adults.
Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body. Standard doses in the Unites States, where it is available over the counter, and in Europe, where a prescription is typically required, range from 0.3 mg to 3 mg.
Considered a dietary supplement rather than a drug, melatonin is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Doctors say an adult dosage could be dangerous to a child, effectively acting as a strong drug akin to Valium that can cause extreme drowsiness.

Criminal Justice
Criminal justice is the interdisciplinary study of the theory and practice of the police, courts and corrections institutions in the United States. The program of study includes the review and discussion of the structures, processes and relationships between the various segments of the criminal justice system. In addition, the study of criminal justice examines the legal system within a broad social, political and psychological framework and explores how that broad framework influences the actors and activities of all those involved with, or influenced by, the criminal justice system.
Criminal Justice spans social and scientific disciplines requiring a liberal arts model that allows students to view issues through a broad lens that prepares them for employment in the judicial community or for further academic study.
The judicial system's foundation has evolved from its historical formulation of manually processing data to the technology area. This new prism influences the criminal justice community through the legislative, judicial, and public arena. Thus, to obtain the essence of these new and changing paradigms, critical thinking is required. This is accomplished by creating an environment that fosters probative exploration and investigating the backside of a policy to understand the event or action. This requires nurturing a perceptive attitude that welcomes the challenge of obtaining knowledge, managing information, and developing a theoretical model.

Djimon Goes Back For A Little 'Mora
Posted on Fri Mar 2, 2007 08:47 AM PDT
For the second time this week, we caught Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons reveling in each others' company! The pair may have brought a few friends along to throw off their scent, but all their activities - shopping for shoes at Barney's, eating a romantic dinner together at Matsuhisa (where one of our spies reports seeing them kiss a few times), hopping over to Winston's, and then heading back to the Four Seasons together (!) - say "date" loud and clear to us!
No word yet on whether or not Cameron Diaz is aware of Hounsou's new flame - but then again, it's not like she's the territorial type, right?
Let's hope Cameron's cool with this - she's been so much fun since buddying up with Djimon!

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Several council members say they are initially pleased with the 2013 budget officially presented by North Tonawanda Mayor Rob Ortt Tuesday evening, when he further laid out his plan that does not raise property taxes for the second straight year.
Council President Rich Andres said while the mayor consulted the council on a few aspects of the budget, many of the details for next year's financial plan were not released until Monday.
But with four Republicans and one Republican-leaning independent, Russ Rizzo, sitting on the council during the last several years, many of of the political issues that often create controversies among representatives are avoided because of corresponding political philosophies.
And while there will no doubt be differences among council members in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 15 budge approval, the fact that taxes and the water/sewer rates will not increase carries a lot of weight, several council members said.
Third Ward Alderman Eric Zadzilka said he would need to give the budget a more thorough review before speaking on all its aspects, but when it comes to the city's financial plan "having a like mind-set" eliminates some friction.
"But we're going to be looking at this budget carefully," he said.
Alderwoman-At-Large Nancy Donovan agreed that it is a shared fiscal conservatism that is partly reflective of the mayor's plan and the council's general cooperation, but also added carrying those beliefs throughout the year helps to reign in spending come budget time.
"Our initial reaction is that it's a good and fair budget," Donovan said.
Andres said he realizes regular concessions from city employees during contract negotiations are also a strong part of the the budget's outcome, which was possible in part due to a retirement incentive accepted by 11 employees, five of whom will not be replaced, and changes to health care in various unions that also saves the city money.
"You're seeing the end result our our hard work, but also the employees that meet us half way," Andres said.
Ortt, meanwhile, expanded his budgetary plan, which, if approved by the council, will spend $95,000 for new police cruisers and another $70,000 to hire additional firefighters, which he said will offset overtime costs.
He also said he has cut expenditures in the water fund and reduced spending in the sewer fund. The result of that, Ortt said, removed $500,000 from the 2012 and 2013 budgets, ending subsidies for the two departments and forcing the funds to "stand on their own."
"I'm proud to say that today the water and sewer funds are in the best financial shape they have been in many, many years," the mayor told the council.
Public hearings on the budget will take place in November, though they have not been formally scheduled.Contact reporter Michael Regan at 693-1000, ext. 4115.

This soup is great! Just like my Babcia makes. Add a bay leaf when simmering---remember to take it out. Also, I sauteed the onion till golden, THEN added the other ingredients. To make it VERY good, add 1/2 of heavy cream to the pot after it's all done cooking (don't boil it with the cream in it...).
This was an excellent soup. All my family loved it. I took the advice of some of the previous cooks and sautéed the kielbasa and one whole onion until golden brown. I did not use two onions, that would have been way too much for us. Once sauteed I added the kielbasa and onions with the celery, carrots cut in quarters, and the red potatoes to the water in a big pot. For seasoning I added about 1 1/2 to 2 tsp. of dill, parsley, minced garlic, pepper, crushed bay leaves, about 1/4 tsp salt and 3 cubes of bouillon. Once served, I topped it with some DUBLINER cheese by Kerrygold. Its a cheese imported from Ireland so I don't know how easy it is to find, I just happened to come across it ... but it topped it perfect. Thanks for the recipe!
This is really good. I did make a few additions--used chicken broth instead of water, added salt & pepper, minced garlic, parsley & dill. This soup is 5 stars with the additions I made. Thanks, I will be making this again & again.

Bennington school budget revote will be May 21May 02,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON — After cutting its rejected budget by more than $575,000, the Bennington School Board approved on Wednesday a proposed budget of $12,940,745 to be put before voters on May 21.
Members of the Bennington School Board approved the budget proposal unanimously.
There will be an informational meeting about the budget on May 20 with the vote on the budget, to take place by Australian ballot, the next day. Voting will be at the Bennington fire facility, the same location as the vote in March.
During the Town Meeting Day vote, the Bennington School District budget, which was proposed at $13,518,802, was
rejected by a vote of 1,095-915. While several school budgets around Vermont were defeated this year, Bennington was the only budget defeated in Bennington County.
The Mount Anthony Union School District, which runs the middle and high schools in Bennington, was also defeated in Bennington but received enough support in the other towns it covers, North Bennington, Pownal, Shaftsbury and Woodford, to be passed.
The March budget proposal was an increase of $2,158,689, or 19 percent, over the $11,360,113 budget passed in
The budget proposal approved last night will be an increase of $1,580,632, or almost 14 percent, over the current budget.
The school board has cut $578,057 from the budget proposal defeated in March to reach the new proposed budget.MORE IN This Just InSACRAMENTO, Calif.

I mean business about science fiction and geek culture.
A few months ago, I was so horrified at the science in Prometheus that I interviewed scientists, experts in the fields that were portrayed in the Ridley Scott film. After asking them some frankly leading questions, they confirmed that the science was deeply unscientific.
Fast forward to this week, when I played Hitman: Absolution. Good game. Pity about the former stripper/prostitute nun assassins, also known as "the Saints." These characters appeared only briefly, but they left that same tang of bad writing in my mouth.
But just how bad were the Saints (which you can see for yourselves, here)? I decided to get an expert opinion from Athena* (*not her real name), a former stripper who worked her way through school. She told me exactly what she thought about them.
Hitman: Absolution has characters who are ex-strippers/ex-prostitutes. They left their jobs to become assassins. Does working as a stripper prepare you for a job as a hitwoman?
Stripping keeps you physically fit. I wasn't a big user of the pole, but when I did, it gave me a workout. And so will walking around in high heels for eight hours. Also, I moved my body quite a bit.
That's the physical aspect. How does it prepare you emotionally?
Well, on the nights when you get treated like crap for eight hours it's understandable that a person might feel like killing someone by the time she goes home. But really, any job where you get treated like crap could do the same.
These women are called "the Saints" because they also happen to be Christians.
That doesn't seem very plausible. I don't understand why strippers would seriously become assassins, especially if they are Christians. I mean…what kind of Christians are they? Are they Republicans?
Hard to tell. What do you think about the way they're dressed in skin-tight latex and ripped stockings?
The nun/stripper costumes seem really gratuitous to me. Most of the strippers I knew would not walk around in public dressed that way: I didn't know any women who worked as strippers who maintained their work personas outside of the clubs. I always tried to look like a normal person: jeans and sweaters, like the girl next door.
I'm disturbed by their clothes, because what's the point of these costumes? It just seems [IO Interactive] wanted to put some T&A in there, and they came up with some ridiculous excuse to do that.
You can tell they're Catholic because they're wearing nun's habits. Why do you think they're wearing their habits on the job?
It was their cover. You could probably catch people off guard in a costume. Your targets wouldn't be expecting it. But they removed their habits before the fight because it's probably it's a lot easier to fight if you're not wearing a dress.
But they're also wearing heels.
I don't know why they would keep on their stiletto heels unless they were planning on stabbing someone with them. That's not very practical. What if you needed to run away?
And if stiletto platforms gave you the advantage in warfare, how come our Marines and Navy SEALs don't wear them?
I would like the makers of this videogame to go home and put on some platform stiletto heels and try to seriously fight one another in them…that is, if they can walk.
Why do you think the Saints are carrying guns openly?
I don't know. Maybe they think people will assume the guns are part of their act. What would you think if you saw a beautiful woman in patent leather mini-skirt, fishnets, and platform stiletto heels toting an assault rifle? Would you think assassin? Or bachelor party?
WIN! I have nothing more to add about this post.
"You never see male assassins in a thong with dollar bills hanging out." You're right it never happens, but it definitely should. I would play a game with that. It would be a nice change of pace. Men being sexualized instead of women.
Lol I liked this article haha. Granted they never said that they were Christians, just that they dress as nuns to distract people and then they kill them :)
Because sarcasm doesn't exist.
Though I don't disagree with most of the point this article makes on principle, I do think it's worth mentioning that they weren't actually meant to be strippers. I think the intention of the fetish-wear is that nobody is likely to suspect a latex fetish nun to be an assassin.
But I think that what's really important to mention, is the strip club section of the game. If you pay any amount of attention during that entire section, to the dialogue between police, level details in the dressing rooms, dialogue between the strippers themselves, you'll realise that the 'minds of the men that would come up with a game like this' actually appear to have respect for these women, and use it as a kind of social commentary on how unfairly they are treated. It certainly doesn't portray them as being 'dregs of society that deserve everything they get'.
The statement 'As long as they don't work as prostitutes or strippers.' is just painfully misinformed.
Fun article, and yes, that Saints trailer was absolutely terrible and, more importantly, was basically the opposite of what every game in the series has been like.
"I mean…what kind of Christians are they? Are they Republicans?" zing.
How about this as a reply,
"Of course their Republicans silly, stripper/ hooker Democrats are to busy getting their free abortions to go to church"
oh' snap no he didn't. Yes he did.
I think there's quite alot wrong with these comments, primarily they only take their arguement part way, not to it's conclusion. I agree the Saints appear to be an attempt to titillate, but the idea of it being misogynistic is misplaced. The Hitman series have always been convoluted, and it's storyline non-linear. Essentially, no matter how unlikely, anything that is possible is considered acceptable. It's also incorporating the idea that people lie, which fits with a game based on sneaking and deceit. That's cover why the characters are acceptable, if not neccessary, in the game.
Considering the claims of misogyny; the game seems to have, once again, been misunderstood. It also seems to ignore the implications of it's own explanation: the outcome of a willingness to do what it is neccessary to survive, or to look at it another way the strength they unknowingly possessed. That some of these people could become killers, though not neccessarily due to their experiences as strippers, is not an unreasonable idea.
The suggestion that the Saints are portrayed as 'the dregs of society' ignores their context in relation to the game. They're competitors in a business which the player likes, one which the protagonist features. They are your trained and accepted peers in the world of Hitman. Granted you have to kill them, but you've been killing assassins with their own distinct styles all throughout the series.
Considering something wrong doesn't make it so, similar to some people's concept of strippers.
The choice to use it as their big release trailer, sure that was for T'n'A effect to a degree (although I can see other reasons they'd have a trailer like that, but those are personal opinions), but actually suggesting it seeks to harm or discredit women or strippers in particular is ridiculous.
I could say I actually think it's an empowering compliment, but once again that's only my opinion.
This is a phenomenally awesome post.

I'm just an average zombie player, but more than anything I hate this one scenario that keeps me so frustrated :
10 yr olds that constantly go down in the early rounds, and curse the **** out of you when you don't try to revive them while a horde is following you. Just complete ignorance. I am GONNA REVIVE YOU! Just give me a freaking second. Then they call you a **** and quit.
My solution: if someone quits there should be a 10 sec invincibility or a limited power weapon drop or meat. Something to help you get to the next round and strategize how to continue with a man down.
... And also, the ee isn't over yet
The problem isnt people quitting. Idc if they cant take it. The problem is rounds not friggin counting just because they quit. So they MAKE me care about people quitting. Stop this already treyarch. STOP IT!!,!
if they removed the total number of downs/deaths you have and removing the emblems, then people wouldnt quit as much because they wouldnt have a reason to.. i mean, if you're at round 10 and you die, itll be illogical to back out and start a new game..
K/D is a worthless thing to brag about considering you can just play a custom match of town starting at round 20, accumulate x amount of kills then when you know you're about to have your first down, just back out and itll record your kills, and you wont have a death added.
I agree you see I have one good game out of 20 because of people leaving migrating host and so on. Now I have left twice in a game and that was do to my girlfriend pluging in the toaster and blowing a breaker and the pipes freezing "what a mess that was" it would be great if I had players to play zombies with that wouldn't leave everytime they went down its not my fault they ran by them selfs now is it? Anyone want an active player add watchchris

On Sunday, my column about Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz's proposed 2013 budget appeared in The News. The budget includes increased funding for arts organizations but also a 3.4 percent property tax hike. On Monday, the county executive's communications and policy director Mark Cornell responded. And today, Halllwalls Contemporary Arts Center director and outspoken arts advocate Edmund Cardoni responded to Cornell's suggestion that the cultural community needs to continue to make an argument for why it deserves county funding.
Here's an excerpt of Cardoni's comment:
"...Speaking for myself and my fellow arts advocates (and, if I may, library supporters), we don't take anything for granted and understand full well that we need to go to bat for your budget with 100% effort, not only in the interest of our sector, but for the good of all the citizens of Erie County, because those of us who work in the arts and the individual artists for whom we advocate (most of whom are homeowners and taxpayers ourselves), our audiences and individual supporters, the children served by our arts education programs, and the owners of all the small businesses we patronize ourselves and help generate business for are ALL citizens of Erie County. It's a balanced budget, a compassionate budget, a responsible budget, and a budget that will keep Erie County's regional economic development moving forward. We support it all."

Today, I had a chat with Mark Cornell, director of policy and communications in the office of Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz. He was responding to my recent column about the county executive's proposed 2013 budget, which includes increased arts and cultural funding but also includes a 3.4 percent property tax increase.
Cornell took issue with my assertion that Poloncarz tied the tax increase to arts, culture and libraries as opposed to subsidies to the Buffalo Bills, renegotiating expensive employee contracts or the Erie County Water Authority's continued use as a patronage trough.
I intended the statement as a general illustration of places that might merit more financial scrutiny and conversation rather than a specific suggestion about how to solve the $8 million budget gap that Poloncarz is filling with increased tax revenue. But Cornell made plenty of good points, so I wanted to give him a chance to respond:
October 28, 2012 - 2:45 PM
This evening Just Buffalo Literary Center's BIG NIGHT series features a program very close to the heart, the mission, and the origins of the organization, and to successive generations of the Buffalo poetry community.
Poet Dale Smith--a key contributor to the forward-thinking poetry portal Big Bridge--who has lived in San Francisco and Austin, Texas, and now teaches at Ryerson University in Toronto, returns to Buffalo to join with the Buffalo Poets Theater, under the direction of its founder, David Hadbawnik (with the assistance of Just Buffalo publicist Robin Brox) to present a special fund-raising tribute to poet Diane di Prima, featuring a performance of di Prima's 1960 absurdist play "Murder Cake."
Di Prima, the Brooklyn native who rose to prominence as perhaps the leading female voice of the Beat generation of writers before moving to San Francisco in the late 1970's, is now 78 years old and in too poor health to travel. She has incurred tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills in recent years that preclude her seeking additional treatment.
Last year actress-poet Amber Tamblyn established a fund to assist di Prima defray these mounting debts, and now Hadbawnik, a poet, publisher of Habenicht Press, and a medieval scholar finishing his Ph.D. dissertation at the University at Buffalo who studied with di Prima while living in San Francisco nearly a decade ago, has joined in the effort along with his wife, Tina Zigon, also a Ph.D. candidate in English at U.B., who wrote a portion of her M.A. thesis on di Prima while a graduate student at Texas State University.
Just Buffalo Literary Center, which owes a portion of its early history to the goodwill generated by di Prima on behalf of the organization at its inception, has lent its participation to the effort.
Thirty-seven years ago Just Buffalo founder Debora Ott invited Diane di Prima to Buffalo for a now legendary reading in what was then called the Allentown Community Center, on Elmwood Avenue, just a few steps north of the intersection with Allen Street. People came: not just people who specifically identified with the Beat movement, or feminists, or self-styled "bohemians," or academics, or people interested in di Prima's activist politics, but an entire roomful of people (there were never enough folding wooden chairs!) from diverse backgrounds who seemed not to fit into any easily-pigeonholed demographic category at all.
You could argue that Debora Ott organized a single poetry reading, and discovered--perhaps even "invented" is not too strong a word--a literary community here in Buffalo in the process. That reading by di Prima became the first official event in the history (and indeed the "her-story") of a fledgling arts organization that would become known as Just Buffalo Literary Center.
How important was the fact that it was Diane di Prima who read on that first night? I'll confess I wasn't there that evening. I was a college sophomore in 1975 and a philosophy major at the University at Buffalo. My head was all tangled up in Spinoza. (It would get worse by the time I reached graduate school, and washed up on the shores of Wittgenstein and Derrida.) But everything I've heard about that night in 1975 parsed through four decades of Buffalo literary lore suggests that di Prima was a uniquely galvanizing figure, and gave a reading that is still widely-remembered and remarked upon.
That reading would become a template for the early history of Just Buffalo. By the time I started attending readings at the Allentown Community Center regularly in the late 1970's, the organization already had a credibility that far exceeded its meager, shoestring budget within the artists' and writers' communities, with writing teachers and professional educators, with academics and community activists, and especially with the diaspora of Black Mountain College and experimental thinkers of all description who followed Charles Olson and Robert Creeley here to Buffalo in the late 1960's.
As Hegel once wrote, "The Owl of Minerva takes flight by midnight," meaning that wisdom is a quality that usually attributed in hindsight, but if you happened to be starting out a fledgling literary organization in Buffalo, New York in 1975 that would draw its support from not only the enormously rich talent pool of poets, writers and idiosyncratic critics recruited by Al Cook to the UB English Department of that era, but also and equally from from the Rust Belt, blue collar ethos and integral grittiness that characterized Buffalo then and now, then there was no better poet in America to invite to give your inaugural reading than Diane di Prima.
Di Prima, the co-founder of the New York Poets Theater and onetime co-editor (with Leroi Jones, later Amiri Baraka) of the radical newspaper The Floating Bear, is the author of over forty collections of poetry and prose, the best known of which are her 1958 debut collection "This Kind of Bird Flies Backward" (Totem Press), "Memoirs of a Beatnik" (Olympia Press, 1969), "Revolutionary Letters" (City Lights Books, 1971), her career-spanning, serial, epic poem "Loba, [Parts 1 - 16, Books I & II]" (Penguin Books, 1998) and "Recollections of My Life as a Woman: The New York Years" (Viking Press, NY, 2001). In recent years, she has published titles with several smaller, independent presses, including "The Ones I Used to Laugh With" (Habenicht Press, 2003) and "TimeBomb" (Eidolon Editions, 2006).
In addition to teaching poetry at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, of the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado from 1974 to 1997, di Prima has also taught at the New College of California, the San Francisco Art Institute, and Columbia College in Chicago. During the course of her nearly sixty year career, she has been the recipient of numerous awards, including two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, and the honor of being named poet laureate of San Francisco for 2008 and 2009.
Tonight's Just Buffalo Tribute to Diane di Prima begins at 8 p.m., with the performance of di Prima's "Murder Cake" featuring Buffalo area poets Adam Drury as "Richard Lovelace," Alison Fraser as "Dante," director David Hadbawnik as "Mr. Knightley," Soma Feldmar as "Olympia," Sandy Dedo as "Childe Harold," and Emily Anderson as "Emma." A special live video performance by San Francisco Poets Theater founder Kevin Killian and novelist, "New Narrative" author, and editor Dodie Bellamy via Skype from San Francisco will follow, along with Dale Smith's live in-house tribute.
As with all BIG NIGHT events, the culinary creations of BlazeVox Books publisher and gourmet chef Geoffrey Gatza will be featured prominently and consumed ravenously. The festivities begin at 8 p.m. at the Western New York Book Arts Center, 468 Washington St. (near Mohawk St.). Admission is $5, $4 for students, Just Buffalo members, and members of Just Buffalo's affiliate organizations. The sponsors and participants in tonight's Tribute to Diane di Prima urge those planning to attend to consider a separate donation to the Diane di Prima medical relief fund via the Give Forward website, or via check this evening.
