Use land transfer funds to improve public transit
The Dec. 15 editorial, "NFTA should get on with transfer of harbor land," fails once again to recognize the true issue that is before us. With all due respect to both The News and our hard-working congressman, Brian Higgins, the desire of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to be compensated for the waterfront property is not a "money grab." Rather, it is the NFTA reminding all of us that in order to provide quality public transportation to the citizens of Erie County, the government must provide monetary assistance in the form of subsidy.
As a former chairman of the NFTA, I agree the NFTA should get out of the property development business and focus on the core mission of moving people to work, school and other places in an affordable way.
The NFTA cannot do this without a lot of help from the government. Every world-class city has a world-class public transportation system in place. Even in these great cities, public transportation operates at a deficit and requires subsidy. It doesn't matter whether you ride the cable car in San Francisco or the MTA in New York, the system cannot pay for itself or by placing the burden on the shoulders of those who need it most.
Why not use this land transfer as a commitment to improving public transportation in Buffalo, by offering the NFTA a vote of support in helping to balance its budget?

Day 21. Teetering on the Precipice of Stupidity
I once inadvertently drove a car the wrong way round a roundabout. (Not something I recommend). It was without doubt the most stupid thing I have ever, ever done.
Day 21 of my plan to take over the world, and I have made an epic decision. I was aiming for brave – but am pretty sure it's just really stupid. Drum roll please…
Before you pelt me with fruit, please allow me explain:
I started this humble blog roughly 15 weeks ago, with very little expectation that anyone other than my mother would read it. That didn't worry me though – I just wanted to write.
Then most unexpectedly (for reasons unknown) after 6 and a half weeks, a post of mine was Freshly Pressed. My mind swiftly exploded and I gave a heartfelt acceptance speech to my fridge-freezer. It also made me realise that maybe, just maybe – my blog was not that bad, actually.
With total hits to date surpassing 39,000, my mind exploded once again today. Most inconvenient, as it made a terrible mess in my living room. Note to self: Must lay down plastic sheeting.
Just to clarify – I am under no illusion whatsoever that I have 'made it' in the blogging world. Far from it. But the last few months have given me a tiny glimmer of hope that one day – I just might.
So further to my ludicrous plans for world domination, my brother has very kindly offered to build me a website (he's good like that). There is one major problem however – WordPress, being god 'dam geniuses, make it exceptionally difficult to leave. Basically I have two options:
Plan A. Buy my own URL, stay on WordPress, upgrade to a prettier (though still generic) template. Keep my hits, my loyal followers and my sanity.
Plan B. Buy my own URL, leave WordPress, gain a unique bespoke website but lose my hits, my followers and all that I've worked towards for the last 4 months. Wave goodbye to my sanity.
Naturally, I have opted for Plan B. Assuming I don't manage to break it within 20 minutes, my new website will be up and running next week. I'm hoping that by having a site of my very own, I shall finally be taken seriously as a Creative Fruit Loop.
It is quite possible that I've bitten off more than I can chew. But I can't let a silly thing like fear of failure hold me back. I'm actually rather adept at being a screw up, so at least I have experience on my side.
Should you wish to follow me on my new path to resounding failure success, then please join me on Facebook by clicking the bluebird and selecting 'Like'.
For anyone in need of an incentive: I'm going to post a particularly delightful photo of me modelling a face pack on my wall once I reach 100 Facebook 'likes'.
If I get to 200 then you'll discover what I look like in an afro, fishnet tights, legwarmers and hot-pants.
Spoiler alert: It's not pretty.
Thanks to everyone for your support – I couldn't have done it without you. The loyalty, love, laughter, awards, and praise you have bestowed on me have simply blown my mind.
Good thing I finally laid down those plastic sheets.

Ok, i want to know who has ever seen the sad yet happy masterpiece of Elfen lied. i watched it and it made me cry! so i want you people to answer! i want to know what your favorite part was, or ur favorite character, anything u have to say about it! ty and have a nice day
when i found out nyu and kouta were past lover and that she killed his family.
Elfen Lied was a good series, it would've benefited from having a second season in order to clear up all the loose ends. My favorite character was Nana, she was sweet and I liked her relationship with Kurama. Elfen Lied sometimes went over the top with the violence and gore but it was still a good anime.
love your avatar, mind if i steal it?
unto the very end, through all the blood and gore and even all the different happenings that made it up it was amazing!

The father of a Pickens School student - whose complaint against the Randolph County Board of Education was heard in court Friday - spoke at Monday's board meeting, asking why his daughter is banned from participating in extracurricular activities at the school.
Phil Hudok told board members he just received a memo from Dr. James Phares, the county superintendent of schools, and one from Diane Betler, the Pickens principal.
Hudok said the memos informed him that his daughter, Olivia, is not allowed on school grounds for any activities, including 4-H meetings, her prom and her graduation.
On Friday, Circuit Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong ordered the county school system to provide homebound educational services to Olivia Hudok.
The Pickens senior was told by officials earlier in September not to return to school because of her refusal to get mandatory immunizations.
The Hudoks filed a complaint against the couuty board of education and Phares on Sept. 11, demanding they grant a religious exemption allowing her to return to school.
Wilfong ordered the school system to provide educational services for Olivia Hudok until there is a final resolution in Kanawha County Circuit Court, where the state's Department of Health and Human Resources' rule that all seventh- and 12-graders receive Tdap and MCV4 booster vaccinations is being challenged.
After receiving the new memos, Hudok said Monday his daughter is not being treated equally by school officials.
"If the 4-H club has guest speakers, they are allowed in and no one checks on their immunization records," Phil Hudok said. "Is this fair?"
Hudok said his daughter, who is the president of the 4-H club that meets at Pickens School, canceled the 4-H meeting scheduled for this weekend because she is not allowed to attend.
"I checked with my attorney and he said the vaccine requirements only include the first round of shots for a visitor," Phil Hudok said. "And even those have never been enforced. We do not check visitors. Why should my daughter be held to different standards?"
Phares said he is looking for further guidance on the issue.
"I sent a memo to Dr. Mary Boyd at the Elkins-Randolph County Health Department," Phares said. "I have referred this to our attorney as well."
Board member Ed Tyre asked Phares if he would contact the state for an interpretation of the law. Phares said he would also contact the state on the matter.
Also during the meeting, members of the board granted permission for a group of fourth-grade students wanting to combine learning about the free enterprise system with helping others.
The George Ward Elementary School students were represented at the board meeting by principal Fran McLaughlin, requesting approval for a St. Jude's Hospital benefit.
"The students are learning about setting up a business and record keeping," McLaughlin said. "The letter before you seeking permission for this fundraiser is their work."
McLaughlin said the students want to make duct tape items and sell them to students and teachers. The students wanting to do the fundraiser, who are in the extended studies class, intend to donate the profits of their venture to St. Jude's Hospital.
"They chose St. Jude's because the money goes directly to helping children," McLaughlin said. "They are very, very excited about the prospect of this project."
Tyre commended the students for their idea.
"I think this is wonderful," Tyre said.
Also during the meeting, the Pickens School student representative to the board, Alexis Chandler, showed a power point presentation sharing a day in the life of a Pickens School student.
The next Randolph County Board of Education meeting is slated for 6 p.m. Oct. 15.

The Stetson women's basketball team tied a school record with its 10th consecutive victory Saturday, defeating Lipscomb 92-51 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game at the Edmunds Center.
The Hatters (14-4, 7-0 Atlantic Sun) also won their 13th home game in a row, setting a new school record for longest home winning streak. Stetson is now 25-1 in its last 26 home games dating back to 2011.
Sasha Sims scored 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting while also collecting seven rebounds and three assists. Cherrise Burris (16 points), Victoria McGowan (15), and Ashley Dennis (10) also scored in double figures.
"I thought overall we played very well," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "Defensively we did a great job guarding, and offensively we shared the ball well. I thought we executed very well on both ends today."
Lipscomb (2-14, 1-5 A-Sun) hit 12 three pointers in the game including seven in the first half.
"In the first half I thought we gave Lipscomb a lot of wide open looks," Bria said. "In the second half we did a lot better job of containing them."
The Hatters led by as many as 30 in the first half before settling for a 50-26 halftime lead. Sims was a perfect 7-for-7 in the first half, including 4-for-4 from behind the arc, for 18 points.
"I've always said Sasha is our most versatile player," Bria said. "When she wants to, she can create any shot for herself or for a teammate. She is just great to have on the team."
For the game the Hatters shot 55% from the floor and 46% from behind the arc.
Stetson led wire-to-wire for the fourth straight time at home. In fact, Stetson has not trailed at home since an early 2-0 advantage by Georgia Southern on Dec. 18, a span of 198 minutes and 24 seconds.
The Hatters will look break the school win streak record on Monday night when they host conference newcomer Northern Kentucky at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on HatterVision and WSBB.
Notes: Stetson also set a school record for most wins a three-year span (57) … The Hatters are tied with Michigan and Notre Dame for the sixth-longest active winning streak in the nation … Victoria McGowan played in her 100th career game (84th with Stetson) … Stetson's 50-point first half was a season-high ... It was Stetson's third 30-point win this year ... Stetson's last 40-point win came on Feb. 23, 1987 against Saint Leo (103-46).

Title 09
Subtitle 12 DIVISION OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY
09.12.31 Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Act Incorporation
by Reference of Federal Standards
Authority: Labor and Employment Article, §§2-106(b)(4) and 5-312(b), Annotated
Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
The Commissioner of Labor and Industry proposes to adopt, through incorporation by reference under
COMAR 09.12.31 Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Act Incorporation by Reference of Federal
Standards, amendments and revisions
relating to Hazard Communication, 29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1926, excluding Part 1915 and 29 CFR §1910.1200(b)(6)(iv),
published in 77 FR 17574 17896 (March 26, 2012), as amended. This action was considered by the Maryland Occupational
Safety and Health Advisory Board pursuant to a meeting held on September 5, 2012, notice of which was given in
accordance with State Government Article, §10-506(c), Annotated Code of Maryland.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to amend OSHAs Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform to the United Nations
Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The modifications include revised criteria
for classification of chemical hazards; revised labeling provisions that include requirements for use of standardized
signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements; a specified format for safety data sheets;
and related revisions to definitions of terms used in the standard, and requirements for employee training on labels
and safety data sheets. OSHA is also modifying provisions of other standards to include standards for flammable and
combustible liquids, process safety management, and most substance-specific health standards, to ensure consistency
with the modified HCS requirements.
Comparison to Federal Standards
In compliance with Executive Order 01.01.1996.03, this proposed regulation is more restrictive or stringent than
corresponding federal standards as follows:
(1) Regulation citation and manner in which it is more restrictive than the applicable federal standard:
29 CFR §1910.1200(b)(6)(iv). Wood or wood products are exempt from the requirements under OSHAs Hazard Communication
Standard (HCS). However, the exclusion for wood and wood products set forth in 29 CFR §1910.1200(b)(6)(iv) does not
apply in Maryland.
(2) Benefit to the public health, safety or welfare, or the environment:
It is assumed that this proposal will help ensure that employees are apprised of the chemical hazards to which they
may be exposed, and reduce the incidence of chemical-related occupational injuries and illnesses.
(3) Analysis of additional burden or cost on the regulated person:
The majority of the costs that are associated with complying with the revisions of the HCS will generally be incurred
by the affected industries as one-time transitional costs over the phase-in period of four years.
(4) Justification for the need for more restrictive standards:
As Maryland is a state plan state, Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) Program is required to adopt the
federal standard or adopt a state standard that is at least as effective as the federal standard. As such, Maryland
is incorporating by reference the latest modifications under OSHAs HCS, and adhering to Marylands Occupational
Safety and Health Act, Labor and Employment Article, §5-403(c), which provides that the exclusion for wood and
wood products does not apply in Maryland.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. On the national level, the estimated cost of the final rule is $201,000,000
annually. The major cost elements associated with this final rule include the classification of chemical hazards
in accordance with the GHS criteria and the corresponding revision of safety data sheets and labels to meet new
format and content requirements; training for employees to become familiar with new warning symbols and the revised
safety data sheet format; management familiarization and other management-related costs as may be necessary; and
costs to purchase upgraded label printing equipment and supplies or to purchase pre-printed color labels in order
to include the hazard warning pictogram enclosed in a red-bordered diamond on the product label.
III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
D. OSHA acknowledges that the estimated compliance costs of $201,000,000 for the revisions to the HCS represent the
additional costs necessary for employers to achieve full compliance. They do not include costs associated with current
compliance that has already been achieved; nor do they include costs necessary to achieve compliance with existing
requirements to the extent that some employers may currently not be fully complying with applicable regulatory
requirements. The majority of the costs associated with compliance with the revisions to the HCS will generally be
incurred by the affected industries as one-time transitional costs over the phase-in period of 4 years. Covered
employers must complete all training regarding the new label elements and SDS format by December 1, 2013. Second,
OSHA is requiring compliance with all of the provisions for preparation of new labels and safety data sheets by
June 1, 2015. Distributors will have an additional 6 months (by December 1, 2015) to distribute containers with
manufacturers labels in order to accommodate those they receive very close to the compliance date. Employers
will also be given an additional year (by June 1, 2016) to update their hazard communication programs or any
other workplace signs, if applicable.
F. OSHA has determined that the modifications of its HCS will enhance
the effectiveness of the system in ensuring that employees are apprised of the chemical hazards to which they
may be exposed, and in reducing the incidence of chemical-related occupational injuries and illnesses.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

or email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax to 410-767-2986.
Comments will be accepted through July 29, 2013. A public hearing has not been scheduled.
GG. Hazard Communication and [Material] Safety Data Sheets.
(1)(3) (text unchanged)
(4) All amendments and revisions to 29 CFR §§1910 and 1926, including Appendices AF, and
excluding Part 1915 and 29 CFR §1910.1200(b)(6)(iv) that appear in the Federal Register on March 26, 2012

Four Wando wrestlers qualified at last weekend's SCHSL Class 4A Lower State individuals tournament in Beaufort to advance to the upcoming state finals in Anderson.
Wrestlers had to finish fourth or better to advance. In the consolation finals, Alex Cullen finished fourth at 120 pounds with a 12-9 loss to White Knoll's Rian Burress. Tyler Egonut finished fourth at 152 pounds with a loss by decision to Fort Dorchester's A.J. Alford.
Hunter Allen took second at 220 pounds, falling by decision, 9-3, to Beaufort's Kentrell Seabrook in the championship finals. Ben Crutchfield captured the Lower State individual championship with a 7-4 win over Dutch Fork's Josh Davis at 132 pounds. Cullen, Egonut, Allen and Crutchfield all advance to the state finals for Wando.
"We wrestled well as a whole," Wando head coach Adam Schneider said. "We also had three individuals one win from qualifying, so it was a great weekend."
This season marks Crutchfield's third straight trip to the state finals. He finished fourth at state last season. Cullen will be making his second appearance, while Egonut and Allen are both state finalists for the first time.
Friday, Cullen will open against Gaffney's Austin Chandler in the state finals. Crutchfield will face Clover's Jharee Kerns. Egonut will take on Charlie Conner of Byrnes, and Allen will face Clover's Zach Conrad.

A 19-year-old Buffalo man and three juveniles were charged earlier this week with mugging, pistol-whipping and robbing a Buffalo cab driver of $190 and his personal papers, including a Hungarian passport, Buffalo police said.
Rokym K. Knox, 19, of Emslie Street, and his three companions were arrested just after midnight Monday, police said.
Knox was charged with first-degree robbery and felony assault and weapons counts.
A sawed-off shotgun with a pistol grip, used in the attack on the cabbie, was recovered by police on South Division Street, according to a police report. Police did not release the charges against the three juveniles involved in the case.
Knox and the three juveniles called for a cab to pick them up at an address blocks away from the crime scene, police reported, and when the cabbie got them to Seymour and Emslie streets about 12;20 a.m., he was slammed on the back of his head by the sawed-off shotgun and robbed. The cabbie victim suffered what police described as "a large contusion to the back of the head."

MARTINSBURG - Although a new Tanbridge Drive Maintenance Association has officially formed, the circumstances surrounding its creation - primarily allegations that some property owners in the Timberwalk subdivision weren't paying their fair share- are only one side of the story, said homeowner Marcie Steerman.
That's especially upsetting because Berkeley County Council members approved the association last month, a new body that will collect funds to help maintain and make improvements to the community's roadways, she said.
Attorney Dale Buck, who represented homeowners favoring the association's creation, said it would help ensure all property owners pay their fair share for road maintenance. Buck also said the new organization would be separate from the community's homeowners association.
Documents submitted to council indicated the property owners' initial assessment would be $150 annually.
As a result, the new association has already sent a notice to homeowners advising them of its existence.
Council's approval was only a legal requirement and not an endorsement of the action, according to county attorney Norwood Bentley, who said there was no reason for them to turn down the request if all applicable standards were met.
But that's little comfort to Steerman, one of the targeted property owners, who said she and her husband not only appreciate the cost of road repairs and snow removal but have unsuccessfully tried to pay the Timberwalk Property Owners Association for these services.
The couple maintain such payments are not necessary because the lots were not under the HOA's control when purchased in July 2003.
"My husband and I purchased property on Tanbridge that is adjacent to, but not part of, the Timberwalk subdivision and therefore not subject to its covenants," she said.
"In fact, when we completed our house we voluntarily offered a courtesy check in an amount equal to the homeowners association's fees to be used for road maintenance - with the provision that it in no way obligated us to Timberwalk's other covenants, such as obtaining permission to cut down a tree," Steerman said.
However, that February 2008 check was returned via Buck since it was rejected by the HOA, she said.
"Instead of discussing the situation, he initiated legal action in circuit court, which was promptly dismissed with prejudice," Steerman said.
As a result of the litigation, the couple received a July 2009 letter from Buck stating the HOA "has come to the conclusion that you are not subject to the restrictions or covenants, nor are you entitled to their benefit."
Steerman said the continuing controversy has been difficult and has had multiple negative impacts.
For example, elderly neighbors have paid "thousands in legal fees to prove that our lots are not now, nor have they ever been, part of the HOA," Steerman said.
These actions also meant the HOA didn't continue to receive five years' worth of courtesy checks from the couple, she said.
"Finally, the end result is a new road maintenance fee that is substantially less than the amount we volunteered to pay before Mr. Buck's involvement," Steerman said.

Both Incline soccer teams capped the regular season with 2-0 wins against visiting North Tahoe last Thursday to secure No. 1 playoff seeds.
For the first time ever, there will be separate Division III postseason tournaments - as opposed to the DIII and DI-A (formerly 2A and 3A) competing in combined tourneys - and Incline will host the Northern regional this Friday and Saturday.
Incline's boys, which finished the regular season 11-8-1 overall and 6-4 in Mount Rose League play, will open the tournament with a semifinal game against fourth-seeded North Tahoe on Friday at 5 p.m.
Due to an oddly constructed power rankings system used to determine postseason seedings, the North Tahoe boys barely made playoffs as the fourth seed, despite the Lakers routing one of the higher-ranked teams, third-seeded Yerington, and splitting with the other, second-seeded Whittell. So the Highlanders figure to have a relatively easy regional title game if they can get past the Lakers.
Whittell and Yerington square off in the other semifinal game Friday at 1 p.m. Winners meet for the regional title Saturday at 5 p.m. A consolation final is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Incline's girls (15-6 overall, 6-4 league) will open the regional tournament against fourth-seeded White Pine, which edged North Tahoe for the final seed based on the power rankings, on Friday at 3 p.m.
On the other side of the bracket, second-seeded Whittell and third-seeded Pershing County play Friday at 11 a.m. The regional championship game is Saturday at 3 p.m., with a consolation final at 11 a.m.
The Division III state championship tournaments are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9-10, at Heritage Park in Henderson. The top three Northern teams advance, while only one Southern team will be represented.

President Obama this week will unveil a new long-term deficit-reduction proposal that touches on the Bush tax cuts and entitlement spending, White House senior adviser David Plouffe said Sunday.
Plouffe blasted the House GOP budget for lowering taxes for the wealthy while making significant reductions in Medicare and Medicaid spending.
"The president believes this has to be a balanced approach," Plouffe said on Fox News Sunday.
However, Republicans have criticized the White House for punting on Medicare and Medicaid reforms in the 2012 budget it released in February.
Plouffe said the plan will take on the Bush tax cuts, which Congress voted to extend in the December lame-duck session. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who appeared later in the show, said the White House is trying to defend the extension of the tax cuts while paring them back.
"They're insistent we have to raise taxes again," Cantor said.

Here's a tip: if your ex-husband's mistress-cum-missus asks for your help in proving that he cheated on her while he was married to you, just say no. And, whatever you do, don't invite her in for a cup of coffee...
"Wine?" coffeehouse owner Maggy Thorsen offers, moving aside reluctantly to let the home-breaking Rachel into her living room and her life. When the new Mrs. Thorsen disappears that same evening, Maggy finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation involving Rachel's hotelier family - Milwaukee's answer to the Hiltons.
Torn between her desire to see her former husband fry and her need to protect their son's college fund, Maggy decides to search out the truth, both about Rachel and the other other woman.

Have ramp, will travel.
That's the motto Karen Alohilani Hue Sing hopes other fellow "wheelers" can live by with the help of her newly launched business, Accessible Maui.
The 51-year-old Maui resident is the Hawaii distributor for EZ-Access ramps, a Washington state manufacturer of portable aluminum ramps that can be placed over steps to grant on-demand wheelchair access.
Article Photos
Karen Hue Sing drives her wheelchair up a portable aluminum ramp in Waiehu on Friday. Hue Sing has started a company, Accessible Maui, to sell the ramps on the island to help with accessibility for those in wheelchairs. She said her goal is to help Maui residents gain safe and ready access to their homes and businesses.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Hue Sing said her business arose from her own needs. A car accident in 1982 left her a quadriplegic at the age of 20.
"I've been using a wheelchair for almost 31 years, and with things like the holidays coming up, I'll be invited to a party and I'll have to call ahead and ask what the entrance is like, how many steps there are," she said. "It can really put a damper on things if people have to come out and search for a ply board to make a ramp, or men will have to try to carry me. My chair probably weighs at least 300 pounds with me on it."
Hue Sing said she had been toying with business ideas for more than a year as part of a business development class put on by the University of Hawaii Center on Disability Studies and the state's Vocational Rehabilitation program within the Department of Human Services.
"It came down to something I've been dealing with all my life - accessibility," she said. "It was out of necessity, really, that I decided to incorporate this into my business. The ramps are the main focus now to start. Eventually, I want to arrange tours for residents and visitors."
The ramps come in lengths that start at 2 feet and go up to 8 feet, with prices ranging from about $100 to $1,000.
"Because they're portable and aluminum, it's a quick and easy (alternative) to having to hire a carpenter. It meets ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements," she said. "Hopefully, this might be something that families or friends of those with wheelchairs can invest in, or for some of my wheeler friends, they could purchase one to take around with them."
She hopes her ramps can help people enjoy being a part of their communities.
"For me, my joy is to provide access for many so they can be a part of their families and communities and not feel like they have to stay at home, or like they're imposing when they ask about accessibility," she said. "You want to be independent and get in and out without it being a big production."
Hue Sing also wants to approach Maui businesses, including restaurants and bars where she's already observed areas that can be challenging for wheelchairs.
One example is the T. Komoda Store and Bakery in Makawao.
Hue Sing organized a launch event at the bakery for her line of ramps at November's Makawao Town Third Friday event. She invited friends in her Maui Wheelers support group.
"It was such a wonderful feeling of finally being able to choose our own pastries and not having to wait outside," Hue Sing said. "My friends were really thrilled, and I was overjoyed. I hadn't had the experience of getting into the store since before my accident."
She said she's been talking with owner Alan Komoda about designing a custom ramp for the historic store.
Beyond helping others gain independence, Hue Sing said the launch of her business has been personally fulfilling as well.
"It's really important for me to finally get into self-employment for my children and my family," she said. "I require a nurse to help me, but once I get that all taken care of and I'm on my chair, I'm free to get about and be a part of my community."

Bethenny Frankel has played her hand well ... just about as well as anyone who found fame with a reality show called The Real Housewives of New York City could.
No, she played it better – she has been disciplined and smart. Look at IMDb.com: Bethenny has 41 credits as herself. Jill Zarin has only 25.
And, yes, LuAnn de Lesseps acted on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and released a single called "Chic, C'est La Vie." However, the ultimate reality star is she who builds the strongest career for herself as herself.
LuAnn as self? Fifteen. Chic or no, c'est la vie.
Now comes news that Frankel will be losing her syndicated talk show, Bethenny. That would have seemed to be the ultimate vehicle for someone whose main role has been Bethenny Frankel.
Or will it be?
Are there fresh, reality-based projects that would allow Frankel to continue expanding the considerable resources of herself? It's a challenge, true, especially since at this point she should not have to put up with sharing oxygen with an ensemble of other women and/or men striving to make a career as themselves, come hell or high water.
Here are three.
1. The Real Former Housewife of New York City.
Come to think of it, this would basically be a return to Bethenny Ever After terrain, and that feels like treading water or running in place. (Imagine if Jennifer Aniston for years had to generate headlines simply on the basis of her hairstyle.) So, no. Perhaps you could call it The Real Former Housewife Formerly of New York City and put her somewhere unexpected. Maybe Prince Edward Island. Don't underestimate Bethenny rising to the challenge. She could maneuver Anne of Green Gables off the land and into the water.
2. Dancing with the Bethenny.
ABC's ballroom-dancing competition has gotten stale with its seasonal agglomeration of celebrities. (It's too lumpy to be called a lineup. It's an agglomeration). Why not devote a season to just one dancer? And why not make that one dancer Bethenny? If she were voted off, of course, it would make for a regrettably short season. But what if she made it all the way?! And she has previous experience: She briefly participated in ABC's short-lived Skating with the Stars. Skates, dancing shoes – it's all reality ankles and feet.
3. Confessions of a Housewife: The Bethenny Frankel Story.
This is perfect: A Lifetime movie in which she would play herself and, if I correctly gauge her intelligence and skill in approaching this challenging role, very likely land an Emmy nomination. The tricky part will be casting everyone else. I do think Sarah Paulson would kill as Alex McCord.

The Pirate Bay Loses Appeal, Admins Sentenced to Prison Time

Fredrik Neij (right) and Peter Sunde (center) fought the law, but the law won. The pair have been sentenced to prison time by a Swedish appeals court for their role in creating the immensely popular site, The Pirate Bay.
(Source: Reuters)
The Pirate Bay remains one of the world's top torrent sites and is as active as ever, despite the media prosecutors' efforts.
To the brig, with ya, matie!
The bid by administrators of the world's largest torrent site,
The Pirate Bay
, to escape time in Swedish prison is at an end. An appeals court
a new ruling that is seen as largely unfavorable for the group and guarantees that they will serve prison time, if they stay in Sweden.
The ruling comes after nearly two years of legal conflict, which began when prosecutors filed charges against Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, and Peter Sunde, who ran the site; and Carl Lundström, a Swedish businessman who through his businesses sold services to the site. The men were charged with promoting massive copyright infringement and crime, much as their site's name might suggest.
At the trial the group put up a spirited defense, but eventually were defeated in a court ruling. The results were unsurprising, given information that would later come to light. The presiding judge in the case was a
former member of a copyright protection organization
and reportedly receiving compensation in the past from media organizations.
With the judge firmly in their pocket, the plaintiffs -- Swedish subsidiaries of leading music and film companies, including Sony BMG, Universal Music, EMI and Warner Brothers; and international copyright attack-dog the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) (the parent of America's RIAA) -- secured a guilty verdict. The accused were
sentenced to a year in prison
each and ordered to repay 32 million crowns ($4.57M USD).
The Pirate Bay
leaders scoffed at the charges, saying that even considering the net value of their servers, that they had nowhere near the amount demanded. They quick appealed, on the grounds that the judge in the case had an inappropriate conflict of interest.
A Swedish Court of Appeals finally reached a ruling last Friday and delivered a relatively harsh final sentence against
The Pirate Bay
creators. It stated, "The appeals court, like the district court, finds that the service Pirate Bay has facilitated illegal file sharing in a way which is punishable for those who carried out the service."
The sentences of two of the admins and the site's financier were all reduced. Fredrik Neij's prison time was cut to 10 months, Peter Sunde's to 8 months, and Carl Lundstrom's was cut to four months. However, their fines were raised even higher to 46 million crowns ($6.57M USD). Like the recent verdict against U.S. citizen Jammie Thomas-Rassert, that punitive judgment virtually ensures that the accused will live in poverty for much of the remainder of their lives, if they remain within the nation (the exception being Lundstrom, who has substantial wealth).
The IFPI's battle against
The Pirate Bay
in Sweden closely mirrors its battle (via the RIAA) against
in the U.S. In October a U.S. court ordered
permanently taken offline
If there's a bit of good news for supporters of
The Pirate Bay
, it's that the verdict has seemingly done little to achieve the prosecutors' goal of damaging the site. The site is still online and is
as active as ever
. It is now registered in the Seychelles, an island nation known for its lose copyright laws. And rather than a small set of individuals, which could be prosecuted, the site is now run by a larger organization.
The leadership of Europe's Pirate Party, which supports loosening copyright laws, mocked the verdict. Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge while implying court corruption said that the ruling would do little to stop piracy. He states, "This case was politically motivated from the start and (the problem) must be solved politically. This doesn't mean anything for The Pirate Bay and it doesn't mean anything for similar sites. File sharing is increasing every day and the only thing this means is that more and more people will try to hide what they are doing on the Internet."
And recent data on piracy worldwide indicates that he's right.
In short, big media may get to chuckle at the misfortune of the piracy ringleaders who will soon be in the brig, but at the end of the day it's the millions of pirates worldwide who are enjoying the last laugh.

RE: Moore's Law and Piracy
Agreed, star athletes are not doing anything obscene. They are simply getting their fair slice of the huge professional sports entertainment pie.
However, the analogy is still useful I think. The pro league sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, and I suppose you can include the NHL) got big solely because the means of broadcasting their games was limited. Limited airtime meant there was interest in finding the top players in the country, making teams, and pitting them against each other. The size of the tip of the pyramid which got broadcast was proportional to the amount of airtime.
As more bandwidth developed, college sports started seeing more TV time. Now that we have a cornucopia of broadcast bandwidth (via the Internet), people are starting to do things like record and broadcast things like high school games. Sure the players aren't as good, but the games are just as important to the kids who go to those schools and their parents; meaning the market for these types of broadcasts is nearly as large as for pro sports. People only have a finite time to watch sports, so as more attention is diverted to these smaller teams, it's going to come at the cost of the pro teams.
The same thing is going to happen to music/movies. The days of the global superstar publicized by global media mmoguls/studios are drawing to a close. More and more content is going to be produced independently by the "independent contractor" or "small business" equivalent of the music/movie studios. I already have a small cadre of webcomics and Youtube productions like "The Guild" which I follow.

The thing is the Wings should not and can not engage into the physical stuff, the Bruins and everyone else knows it. So what are they trying to do run our guys over and hope for a reaction not rocket science but effective.
One thing to keep in mind other teams will have problems against this team too they are the best team in the east for a reason, so no shame in losing against them.
Best team in the NHL yet the doom and gloom in here like we lost to the friggin Maple Laughs.
A split is what we needed. We win 2 there and that's HUGE, but we got what we expected.
The team needs to quit trying to match Boston with physical play, play our game, let the refs [hopefully, maybe, probably not though] call the game properly, and go to the net. But fact is Boston simply could not go down 2 games in this series and expect to win. So they went out there and WON! I got no problem with the game, but if we play into their hands on Tuesday then maybe we can start bitching.
Franzen is invisible but Babcock is hopelessly devoted to the veterans that have got him here before. I can't see Franzen staying this s***ty all series ... I hope I am right.
Wings will be fine. And Chara was slow to drop the gloves .... cause he was doing Smith a favor? Yehhhhh right. Mucho respect to Smith yesterday getting pounded and pounded and never giving up.
Home ice is ours, no excuses about refs, Babcock's lines or physical play. This isn't soccer.

Is Goldline A Scam?
|Email Print
Gold has always been seen as a nice safe store of value. When the world is in crisis, people turn to gold for stability, which is why the price of gold is around $1,200 an ounce these days. I'm not an investor but one important lesson, repeated by savvier investors, is that gold itself may be an investment but it's true value is as an independent store of value. Should your home currency ever be deemed worthless (in the case of hyperinflation), you could take your gold to another country and convert it into their local currency. If your government were to collapse, you could go elsewhere and still have purchasing power.
You can see how gold has value when the world is in crisis right? That's given rise to a lot of companies that are looking to make money from the increased popularity in gold. I'm sure you've seen ads from Cash4Gold, looking to pay you top dollar for your unwanted jewelry, but there are also companies on the other side. Companies who have gold and are looking to sell it. One of those companies, made popular by their spokesman Glenn Beck, is Goldline.
People want to know – is Goldline a scam? Representative Anthony Weiner of New York seems to think so.
Is Goldline a Scam?
The short answer is No. Unlike Cash4Gold, which has been shown to employ questionable sales tactics, Goldline is a legitimate seller of gold.
However, that doesn't mean they're the best place to buy gold. Fortunately gold, like any other commodity, is traded on the open market and you can get a spot price for it. You can use this spot price to determine the true market value of the coins you're buying to see if it's a good deal. When the cost of the coin is significantly higher than the gold value, you are overpaying to own gold. The gold coins might have artistic or numismatic value, above and beyond the metal value, and every business has to add a premium for profits, but at some point you are overpaying.
That's the principal complaint about Goldline.
Bid-Ask Spread
In an open marketplace, the bid is the amount someone is willing to buy something for. The ask is the amount someone is willing to sell something for. Market-makers, the people who "put" sellers and buyers together, can generate a profit off the bid-ask spread – they buy it at one price and sell it at a higher price. In the Consideration for Investors section of the Account & Storage Agreement, Goldline explains that the bid/ask spread on semi-numismatic and numismatic coins is 30-35%! That means Goldline is making at least 30-35% off each sale… that's a pretty healthy profit margin.
Goldline is, by their own admission, overpriced.
Here's a video from the Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC that looks at Goldline (includes Representative Weiner, Peter Schiff)
Here's another video of Peter Schiff explaining why Goldline is overpriced:
Protip from the video: If you want to invest in gold, buy gold through an ETF.
Goldline isn't a scam, they're a savvy business. They recognize that people are panicking and they are putting out a product that people think they need. They're advertising on programs, and using pitchmen and women, that bombard their viewers with doom and gloom (perhaps rightly so). Who is to say the numismatic value of these gold coins isn't 30-35%? 🙂
Is this any different than someone selling bottles of water at $2 outside a ball game or a concert?

SILVER CREEK – Nationally recognized author Barbara Coloroso will give a talk titled "The Bully, The Bullied, and the Bystander, Breaking the Cycle of Violence" Wednesday at Silver Creek Central School.
The 6:30 p.m. program will offer free supervised activities for children so parents can attend.
Coloroso has been writing about bullying for more than 20 years. A resident of Littleton, Colo., she said that people thought she got involved because of the tragedy at her hometown school at Columbine.
Actually, she said, "I had been working with this topic for years, but I called it mean and cruel behavior."
Her book was published in several languages and she warns that this behavior is a worldwide problem.
Silver Creek will be her only stop in Western New York on her current speaking tour. She said she encourages not just parents but any adults who are involved with children to attend. Coloroso has written several books about the topic and appeared on "Oprah" and several other national television shows.
"I will also be talking about how to raise the child who can speak up against mean and cruel behavior and how to recognize the signs in children," she said.
"It will be a talk about how to rewrite the script," Coloroso said.
Coloroso said she will talk about the signs to look for in children who are bullied and will give parents information on why children do not report this behavior. She will also invite questions from the audience.
Lynn Gowan, director of pupil personnel services for the school district, said she heard Coloroso speak at a training session and was excited about her new approaches to the topic.
Gowan said that the topic is relevant for parents of children of all ages. and she was excited to be able to bring the ideas to Silver Creek. "She made me rethink some of the ideas I have had about bullying and I have been in the field of education 30 years," Gowan said.
Coloroso also will talk to teachers and counselors at the school in a session on Thursday. Her program was made possible through a grant from the office of State Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean.
For more information about the speaker, visit the website www.kidsareworthit.com or call the school's guidance office at 934-2603.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
In December 2007, Agilent Technologies acquired Velocity11, a supplier of automated liquid-handling and laboratory robotic instruments for the life science market. "Our goal in the life sciences is to put together workflows that solve customer problems," says Nick Roelofs, vp of Agilent's Life Science Systems and Solutions Unit. "Together, we can offer customers a comprehensive set of workflow solutions with increased levels of automation."
As a solutions provider, Agilent attempts to understand a customer's process from sample preparation to data acquisition. For example, it considers ways to connect a serum sample with a data endpoint, or a sample of dirt with a contaminant, or a food product with a pesticide.
"How a customer handles a sample all the way across that horizon is a workflow," explains Roelofs. Agilent strives to find applications for its products in some or all of the workflow steps, and automation plays a major role. "If we can automate the front end of sample preparation, then we can accelerate the workflow," Roelofs says.
Velocity11 brings attributes that play into two key aspects of automation—throughput and precision, he adds. Researchers working in high-throughput environments want highly precise, rapid, and repetitive elements that can be automated to generate high-quality data.
Agilent also sees an opportunity to use the expertise of Velocity11 in situations that require precision, but not high-throughput automation, such as improving human error without necessarily accelerating the number of samples analyzed. "That's an area where we plan to use the modular instrument assembly strength of Velocity11," mentions Roelofs.
One application of precision without automation can be found in the manufacturing of the drug heparin, an anticoagulant. China supplies more than half the world's supply of heparin, extracted from pig intestines at small, family-run workshops.
Contaminated batches periodically cause deaths or allergic reactions in some patients who are given heparin to prevent blood clots during surgery or kidney dialysis. Safer automated techniques are needed to test the supply of raw materials at the source of origin. Giving mom-and-pop workshops a liquid chromatography machine is not the answer, since they are not trained in sophisticated sample preparation. An alternative could be an automated instrument that makes the necessary serial dilutions and performs other steps. "That's an example of a precision opportunity that is not a traditional automation type," adds Roelofs.

The Tiffin Cross Country Carnival can be intimidating.
Oh, sure, for the runners it is, I guess. But imagine covering it.
All those kids. All those schools.
All that chaos.
Or at least, that's how I imagined it when I arrived in Tiffin in 2005. Through that winter and spring, when a night or event seemed especially hectic, there would be a familiar refrain:
"Wait for the Carnival."
And yet, while I've always been involved in writing the previews and typing up the results, I've never actually had to cover it.
In fact, my entire experience even being at the event consisted of about 20 minutes. My former sports editor, the late Dave Feltner, had me covering a Tiffin University football game that day in 2005, but wanted me to attend, just to help out for a little while and get a sense of the event.
It was my first fall here and confidence hadn't exactly seeped into my repertoire yet.
I arrived, saw the people, got overwhelmed, and left.
Since then, I always had a reason not to go to the Carnival. Usually I was lucky enough that a Heidelberg or Tiffin football game fell on that day, and so I escaped the assignment.
And some years I made sure I escaped it.
One time, when Heidelberg football was in the midst of a 36-game losing streak, I volunteered to drive more than an hour to Oberlin to cover the Student Princes' opener there.
Dave agreed, but the night before told me it might not be a good idea and I'd be better served helping at the Carnival. He also was worried I'd burn myself out on an already busy day.
"But Dave," I said, only half-believing the words as they left my lips, "Heidelberg could end the streak. If it does, we need to be there."
Dave acquiesced, and I went to Oberlin, where Heidelberg did not end its losing streak. It added to it.
I even got pulled over in Republic on the way home, and to me, it was still worth it.
But as the years passed and I got to know some of the area cross country coaches, it was impossible not to feel that I was missing out on something. Coaches tell you the Carnival is just another race - or at least they try to convince their kids of that - but how can it be? Last year I interviewed a coach from Cincinnati who told me his squad snubbed a meet of a school a few miles away to come here.
For one day, the home of cross country in the state, the region, even the country is Tiffin, Ohio.
And here it is, my town, and I'd never really been there.
That changed Saturday, as I went for the first time and stayed for a few hours. On the walk to Hedges-Boyer Park, there were buses from familiar schools (Sandusky St. Mary) and ones from schools that I never knew existed (North Adams?).
There was a man standing in centerfield of a baseball diamond, yelling encouragement to a runner as he passed. There were T-shirts with clever mantras on them (what is it with runners and phrases on T-shirts? One said "Date a runner. The rest are just players.")
There was a team of runners wearing shirts with Batman logos. "What does Batman have to do with running?" asked Tommy, the newest member of our staff. I had no answer.
There were two people dressed as Wendy, as in the restaurant's namesake. Red wigs and everything.
But most of all, there was running. When the boys in the Division III-A race came down the hill, they left a strong breeze in their wake. It was appreciated.
Then I went with fellow writer Tony Maluso to another spot, where we watched the top two runners - Seneca East's Jason Willman and Jared Stockmaster - go by.
"Now what?" I asked.
"Now," said Tony, who despite being in Tiffin only two years has become a seasoned Carnival veteran, "we run to the finish line."
Like I said, the Carnival is intimidating.
But I'd tell anyone to go. It's hard to believe Hedges-Boyer Park can hold so many people, so much running.
But it can. And until you see it, you never really know what the Carnival is all about.
And those of us that live here should.
There is nothing like it.

MORGANTOWN - Being around athletes as he grew up, Dan Nehlen had thoughts of following in the coaching footsteps of his famous father, Don.
But he kinda got involved and interested in providing the needs of college football players as a West Virginia University student.
And it was with Hall of Famer and longtime WVU head coach Don Nehlen that 52-year-old Dan Nehlen is in his 24th year as equipment manager in the Mountaineer football program.
Article Photos
The Canton, Ohio, native started to hang around the equipment facilities as a student manager. That continued through his completing studies for a bachelor's degree in physical education and safety in 1986. He was promoted to assistant manager and then took over as full-time manager in 1988 when Mike Kerin became director of football operations.
"I have really enjoyed my position in this football program," Dan Nehlen said. "You have your ups and downs like anything else.
"It's been great, though. And I still enjoy my role in tending to the needs of our players and coaches. I really like what I'm doing."
He is responsible for maintaining and procuring all equipment and uniforms for the football program, as well as overseeing the work of 15 student managers.
Nehlen also coordinates the extensive movement of equipment when the Mountaineers travel to road games. That becomes even more of a task as WVU becomes a member of the Big 12 Conference.
"Yes, we've already looked into that," Nehlen said. "We're in the process now of getting a tractor-trailer. The company will provide a driver.
"We'll also have a driver available. We'll also leave for the longer trips on Wednesday instead of Thursday to make up for the extra time involved."
Nehlen has a full-time assistant, Aron Malik, who helps not only for practices and games, but also for trips.
"No question, there's a lot of work involved in my job," Nehlen stated. "But, as I say, I enjoy what I do. People generally don't know all that is involved in putting out team on the field."
Doing laundry for players and coaches also is the responsibility of Dan Nehlen and his helpers.
Don Nehlen went along with his son's decision to become a football equipment manager rather than a coach.
"He knows this is what I like to do," Dan said. "And he's the one who helped put me in this job."
Nehlen and wife Janie have been married 23 years. They have two children, Ryan, who is on the WVU football team, and Danielle.
Both mother and daughter are employed by United Bank.
