A rare, high cocoa, milk chocolate bar with 65% cocoa content so certainly not the usual sweet and creamy recipe many are used to. A reduced sugar, milk chocolate with a punch created with cocoa from the Indonesian island of Java.
May contain traces of nuts and dairy.

I was somewhat disappointed by this chocolate. I was hoping for a strong chocolate flavour, but with any bitterness taken off by the milk etc. This variety barely has any flavour and is a little greasy. Worth a try, you might like it but it's not for me. Green and Blacks 37% has a much richer flavour and Willies milk of the Gods variety is even better still.

I was intrigued by a milk chocolate with such a high cocoa content and as part of an order of several high cocoa content milk bars, expected this one to be my least favourite. However, after trying several different bars from diferent chocolate makers and trying to be objective, I decided that this Bonnat bar was my favourite for its pure cocoa strength, hence its 5 stars.

Tyler Campbell remembers when he became friends with Ian O'Shea right down to the moment.
"We started becoming friends in fifth grade, and we've been friends ever since," Campbell said. "We were taking the PSSA test. He was across the hall from me. I was dancing and being goofy. He did it right back. Then we started talking."
O'Shea hasn't been dancing much this fall, though. Coming off a junior year in which he made all-state, O'Shea missed almost the entire first seven games with a pair of injuries and only now is beginning to feel like he's had much of a football season as Bellwood-Antis has made its run into the PIAA Class A semifinals.

Bellwood-Antis' Ian O'Shea catches a two-point conversion to tie the state playoff game against Delone Catholic.
O'Shea will line up at tight end and outside linebacker when the Blue Devils try to earn a trip to the state championship on Friday night against District 2 champion Dunmore at Central Mountain High School.
"This makes up for all the time I missed," O'Shea said. "It takes my season back to where it should be."
O'Shea isn't the only one happy to have him back on the field.
"The leadership part of it is extremely big. He's a three-year performer. He's kind of the vocal spokesman in a lot of the things that we do," Bellwood coach John Hayes said. "He's a good role model. Those are the kinds of things that are often overlooked when you try to pull the parts together both in the locker room and on the practice field. From the physical part of it, he's obviously a bigger, faster, stronger player at the position that he plays.
"His experience and his ability to make plays certainly make us a better football team."
O'Shea was looking to build on the five touchdown passes he hauled in for the Devils during their District 6 Class A runner-up 2011 season. However, he sustained three cracked ribs in the middle of the Devils' season-opening win against Tyrone this season when he was hit going up for a ball across the middle.
O'Shea missed the rest of that game and the next three before coming back for the Mount Union game. Instead of an uplifting occasion, it became more frustration for O'Shea, who injured his ankle on a freak play.
O'Shea already was no stranger to missed time. He bluntly says he feels sometimes as if he is injury prone. In just the last few years, he blew out a knee playing basketball, broke a hand tripping over a hurdle while running track and tore a hip flexor.
"It [goes through your head]. 'Why me in my senior season, my last season as a Blue Devil?' It was really hard to go through that," O'Shea said. "Now that it's over, I have so much better motivation to make this the best season that I can."
O'Shea has made a lot out of his limited opportunities. In his first game back, he returned an interception for a touchdown to seal a win over Northern Bedford in a battle of Inter-County Conference unbeatens. In the District 6 semifinals, he took a short pass and turned it into a 70-yard touchdown that broke a scoreless tie and spurred B-A on to victory against Bishop Guilfoyle.
Then, last week, it was O'Shea that caught a two-point conversion in the last minute to force overtime, where the Devils finally overcame Delone Catholic.
Since returning to the lineup, O'Shea has eight receptions for 201 yards and two touchdowns. He has 40 tackles this season, all but six of which have come in the last six games.
"Getting him back with the team meant getting a lot of speed back, along with a lot of size and a lot of strength," said Blue Devil quarterback Seth Worthing, who also runs with O'Shea on a couple of medal-worthy track and field relay teams in the spring. "With him at tight end, that gives me another big option if I'm rolling out and I need to find somebody quick."
Even when he wasn't able to play, though, O'Shea tried to remain a visible part of the team, showing up for film sessions and practices and trying to give motivation, encouragement and insight to his teammates from the sidelines during games.
"I tried to be as much in the game as possible without actually being in the game," O'Shea said. "I just wanted to stay involved, but it was really difficult."
Although O'Shea comes off as a really upbeat, intelligent - and, if you ask his teammates, fun-loving, joke-making - young man, the Blue Devils closest to him could tell it was more than his ribs and ankle that were hurting.
"He was very emotional. He was down on himself," Campbell said. "He came back really quick from his ribs. I don't even know if he was ready to come back, but he wanted to get back out on the field and be with his team again. Then he hurt his ankle. For him to come back from two big injuries is a great story."
For a player as supportive of his teammates as is O'Shea, it was hard on the players that had been around him the longest to see him going through not being able to play. When he made it back, though, it made it feel even better for players like Campbell.
"There's a lot more confidence. He and I are the two big [vocal] leaders on the team. It was hard to do that myself. When he came back, everything went even better than it was before," Campbell said.
O'Shea comes across so well-spoken, straightforward and yet polite that it's sometimes easy to forget how good of an athlete he is. Although he looks like he could be a thrower in track, he's actually a sprinter who was part of the PIAA Class AA silver-medal-winning 1,600-meter relay with Worthing. He finished third in the district in the 100 dash and the 300 hurdles and also was on a state-qualifying 400 relay that would have medaled if not for a dropped baton.
"He gets along well with everybody. He has a tremendous attitude in that way," Hayes said. "I think all the younger kids, his peers, they all respect him. That's important. Leadership comes in many ways. He's not bashful of saying what needs to be said."
No matter the outcome this week or next, O'Shea will have an opportunity to continue a football career that began when he started out in the pee-wee leagues in second grade. Juniata, Waynesburg and Lycoming have been recruiting him hardest. He's looking to combine college football with ROTC - "I have a lot of family members that went into the military, and friends," O'Shea said. "It would just be a great thing to get my college degree and be able to serve my country."
Of course, getting a couple of extra games in would be welcome, too, especially considering the injuries that shortened his season.
"I just want to make the most of it while I can still play," O'Shea said. "Regardless of what I do in the future, I want to make this a memorable year."

Gas well noise irks residents
Commissioners call for monitoring of air quality
June 27, 2013
WARREN — Residents of Westwood Lake mobile home park on Wednesday took their displeasure and frustration over a new Utica Shale horizontal gas well near their homes to Trumbull County commissioners,......
I bet if they had cut these folks a royalty check we would have heard nothing about this.

yet another reason to not live in a mobile home park.
The wells they're making now are horizontal fracking wells. Each site actually has like 8 or so wells that they drill. The idea is to make larger, though fewer well sites so everyone doesnt have one in their back yard. The horizontal drilling as able to reach out pretty far from the drilling site, reach a lot of properties with just one well site.
Fracking wells have been around forever. There's several fracking wells around mosquito lake (most of the city's water supply) that have been active for decades. Horizontal fracking is a fairly new technology, and there's only a few active hf wells in ohio at the moment.

Yeah the $$$ is nice was better when the well was new years ago. Our well wasn't as noisy as that well that well is huge. People don't seem to realize that the machinery is much larger than it was 30 yrs ago or even 10-15 yrs ago and they are going much deeper than they could 10 years ago so they are buying up old wells like ours and swabbing (cleaning) them or re-drilling them much deeper. So much bigger = much louder. But I'd put up with it if I was getting paid but these people are NOT getting paid. LOL

This noise is just part of the process. Yes it is annoying, but it will be over in a short period of time. The noise and the actual gas vapor escaping is scaring the wildlife away temporarily. The critters will come back. Birds are hyper sensitive, your rac***** will return once the noise is gone. If all these people knew that a raccoon was really nothing but a giant rat they wouldn't be so disappointed.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter I
Mine ear is open, and my heart prepared; The worst is worldly loss thou canst unfold:— Say, is my kingdom lost? Richard II, III.ii. 93–95.
It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide, and, apparently, an impervious boundary of forests, severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and the trained European who fought at his side, frequently expended months in struggling against the rapids of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes of the mountains, in quest of an opportunity to exhibit their courage in a more martial conflict. But, emulating the patience and self-denial of the practised native warriors, they learned to overcome every difficulty; and it would seem, that in time, there was no recess of the woods so dark, nor any secret place so lovely, that it might claim exemption from the inroads of those who had pledged their blood to satiate their vengeance, or to uphold the cold and selfish policy of the distant monarchs of Europe.
Perhaps no district, throughout the wide extent of the intermediate frontiers, can furnish a livelier picture of the cruelty and fierceness of the savage warfare of those periods, than the country which lies between the head waters of the Hudson and the adjacent lakes.
The facilities which nature had there offered to the march of the combatants, were too obvious to be neglected. The lengthened sheet of the Champlain stretched from the frontiers of Canada, deep within the borders of the neighbouring province ofNew-York, forming a natural passage across half the distance that the French were compelled to master in order to strike their enemies. Near its southern termination, it received the contributions of another lake, whose waters were so limpid, as to have been exclusively selected by the Jesuit missionaries, to perform the typical purification of baptism, and to obtain for it the title of the lake "du Saint Sacrement." The less zealous English thought they conferred a sufficient honour on its unsullied fountains, when they bestowed the name of their reigning prince, the second of the House of Hanover. The two united to rob the untutored possessors of its wooded scenery of their native right to perpetuate its original appellation of "Horican."*
Winding its way among countless islands, and imbedded in mountains, the "holy lake" extended a dozen leagues still farther to the south. With the high plain that there interposed itself to the further passage of the water, commenced a portage of as many miles, which conducted the adventurer to the banks of the Hudson, at a point, where, with the usual obstructions of the rapids, or rifts, as they were then termed in the language of the country, the river became navigable to the tide.
While, in the pursuit of their daring plans of annoyance, the restless enterprise of the French even attempted the distant and difficult gorges of the Alleghany, it may easily be imagined that their proverbial acuteness would not overlook the natural advantages of the district we have just described. It became, emphatically, the bloody arena, in which most of the battles for the mastery of the colonies were contested. Forts were erected at the different points that commanded the facilities of the route, and were taken and retaken, rased and rebuilt, as victory alighted on the hostile banners. While the husbandmen shrunk back from the dangerous passes, within the safer boundaries of the more ancient settlements, armies larger than those that had often disposed of the sceptres of the mother countries, were seen to bury themselves in these forests, whence they rarely returned but in skeleton bands, that were haggard with care, or dejected by defeat. Though the arts of peace were unknown to this fatal region, its forests were alive with men; its glades and glens rang with the sounds of martial music, and the echoes of its mountains threw back the laugh, or repeated the wanton cry, of many a gallant and reckless youth, as he hurried by them, in the noontide of his spirits, to slumber in a long night of forgetfulness.
* As each nation of the Indians had either its language or its dialect, they usually gave different names to the same places, though nearly all of their appellations were descriptive of the object. Thus, a literal translation of the name of this beautiful sheet of water, used by the tribe that dwelt on its banks, would be "The tail of the Lake." Lake George, as it is vulgarly, and now indeed legally, called, forms a sort of tail to Lake Champlain, when viewed on the map. Hence the name. [1831]
It was in this scene of strife and bloodshed, that the incidents we shall attempt to relate occurred, during the third year of the war which England and France last waged, for the possession of a country, that neither was destined to retain.

Scripps Institute researchers describe synthetic pathway for generating gram quantities of taxadienone and taxadiene.[© lily - Fotolia.com]
Scientists have developed a scalable biosynthetic route to generating a range of natural and unnatural taxane-based compounds and derivatives for drug discovery. Reporting in Nature Chemistry, Scripps Research Institute researchers claim their approach allows the production of gram quantities of taxadienone and taxadiene in just a few steps from commercially available starting materials. Phil S. Baran, Ph.D., Abraham Mendoza, Ph.D., and Yoshihiro Ishihara, Ph.D., describe their method in paper titled "Scalable enantioselective total synthesis of taxanes." They claim the amount of taxadiene generated using their synthetic approach is "the largest quantity of this naturally occurring terpene ever isolated or prepared in pure form."
Taxol (paclitaxel) is a widely used diterpene anticancer drug in the taxane family of terpenes, which was originally derived from the bark of the yew tree. The drug is now produced commercially using a plant cell culture technology through a collaboration between Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and Phyton Biotech, the authors explain.
Taxanes actually represent a large family of terpenes that comprise over 350 natural products, and a strategy for synthetic production of these molecules in a laboratory setting would not only give researchers an alternative route to producing Taxol itself, but also related taxanes. Since the early 1990s seven alternative synthetic routes to generating Taxol have been developed, but as well as being incredibly complex, none of these approaches has managed to generate more than 30 mg of the drug, which is required commercially at the tonnes scale, the Scripps team continues.
In 2007 the Scripps Institute established its own research program focused on generating a synthetic pathway that mimics the way terpenes are synthesized in nature. The two-phase process involves an initial biogenetic phase (the cyclase phase), in which linear hydrocarbon building blocks are brought together and cyclized efficiently, and a second, oxidase phase in which the carbon-carbon triple bonds and C–H bonds are oxidized to generate structural diversity. "The goal is to divergently access all 'pre-taxol' compounds (both natural and unnatural), and to unveil new insights into their chemical reactivity during an 'oxidative ascent' of the taxane pyramid," the team comments.
The process builds on earlier work in which the team generated a Taxol relative, eudesmane. The eudesmane molecule represented the basis for devising a retrosynthesis pyramid, in which the target compound is at the top, and the lower levels comprise molecules that could theoretically be modified using the cyclic and oxidase phases to reach the levels above. This approach allowed the scientists to devise a synthetic route for generating gram quantities of taxadienone, and also significant quantities of taxadiene and its (+) enantiomer, a compound that represents a significant milestone along the road to generating Taxol itself.
This was a significant achievement, the team notes: "taxadiene is produced in negligible amounts in nature (less than 1 mg can be obtained from 750 kg of tree bark from T. brevifolia) and therefore its optical rotation has never been recorded." And importantly, while current methods for synthesizing taxadiene are inefficient and involve 26 steps, the Scripps group's method involves just 10 steps, and generates much larger quantities of the compound.
The team is now continuing to modify the chemical groups on taxadienone in order to create a pyramid-like library of both natural and unnatural taxanes en route to Taxol. "This study lays a critical foundation for a planned access to minimally oxidized taxane analogues and a scalable laboratory preparation of Taxol itself," they conclude.

Crawford – looking casual in jeans, a T-shirt and baseball cap – decided on the house roasted turkey sandwich with applewood smoked bacon, arugula and jalapeño, which he said sealed the deal for him. His pal had the Akaushi cheeseburger (which is known as Oprah's favorite burger) with herbed mayonnaise. They both sipped ice tea and bottled water.
The pair tapped at their phones and chatted throughout the lunch, discussing potential projects for Crawford, though it didn't seem like a business lunch.
Crawford wasn't the only famous face enjoying ABC Kitchen, which is known for using only locally sourced, sustainable and organic ingredients. Nearby, chef Mario Batali was checking out the competition with a group.

The Lycoming College Board of Trustees has selected Dr. Kent C. Trachte as the college's 15th president.
Trachte, dean of the college at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, takes on the post July 1. He succeeds Dr. James E. Douthat, who will retire in June after nearly a quarter-century at the helm.
"I am humbled and honored by my selection," Trachte said. "I look forward to building upon the leadership of President Douthat and his many accomplishments during the past 24 years.

"Lycoming College can approach the next phase of its history from a position of strength that lies in the excellence of its students, the distinction of its faculty, the dedication of its administrative staff and alumni, the commitment of its board of trustees and the prudence with which its finances have been managed," he said.
Trachte said he anticipated deepening the educational excellence embodied in the 'Lyco' experience and moving the college toward even greater recognition.
"We welcome (him) to the presidency of Lycoming College," said Peter Lynn, chairman of the college board of trustees. "His deep understanding and belief in the benefits and importance of a liberal arts and sciences education has prepared him well to lead Lycoming.
"He has a proven ability to translate the mission and vision of an institution into both strategic and effective actions. The members of the board look forward to working with him as he leads the college community in ways to further enhance the college's mission, reputation and service to its students."
The board also welcomed Dr. Sharon Trachte, his wife, into the community.
"Both Sharon and I look forward to becoming very involved in Williamsport," Trachte said. "We each hope to find appropriate ways to volunteer our time, service and energy to the community. I have had the opportunity to serve on several boards in Lancaster and look forward to serving on appropriate boards in the county. I have a special interest in education, health care and economic development. Sharon plans to volunteer her time to tutor and mentor children."
Trachte earned a bachelor's degree in government from Dartmouth College, a master's degree in international relations from the University of Kentucky and his doctorate in political science from Binghamton University. He taught political science at several institutions prior to being named dean of freshman at Franklin & Marshall College.
As dean of freshman, he collaborated with members of the faculty to create a first-year residential seminar program. In 2003, Trachte became dean of the college.
Among initiatives he's credited for enhancing at Franklin & Marshall include overseeing integration of athletics and recreation, raising major gifts in support of the college House Commons, athletic facilities, summer study abroad and the college's Life After College Success program. He also promoted internationalization of the campus and deepened the college's commitment to its civic duties and roles.
Trachte and his wife, who holds a doctorate in French literature, have one son. He and his wife live in New York state, where he practices law.
Commenting on the search process to find the best candidates, Lynn, a 1969 Lycoming alumnus, praised the work of those involved, including a 16-person search committee comprised of trustees, faculty, staff, students and alumni.
Four final candidates were recommended by the committee to the board of trustees, after concluding its review of a nationwide pool of more than 80 applicants, Lynn said.
Lynn also expressed the board's gratitude for Douthat's service. During his time at the college, the school's academic profile was raised to that of a national liberal arts and sciences college. It's overall financial position also was strengthened, as illustrated by the growth of the endowment from less than $19 million to $165 million.
Lynn also praised Emily Douthat as a committed partner and an exemplary volunteer on behalf of the college.
Trachte said he can only see a future of continuing commitment to excellence.
"My understanding is Lycoming College has a long history of being engaged with the community," Trachte said, adding, "Either through students doing internships, volunteer community service and alumni who are leaders in the city, and as president, I am committed to not only continuing, but deepening, the college's involvement in Williamsport.
"In my view, the future of both Lycoming College and the city are intertwined."

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Representatives for the American Youth Soccer Organization asked Blair County commissioners Tuesday to slow down when it comes to the proposed sale of Valley View Home and the grounds where 457 youth played soccer last year.
"What in God's name is the hurry?" former AYSO leader Judy Roberts asked commissioners Tuesday. "I think there's a lot at stake here."
Commissioners, who last week said they were including the soccer fields in a description of the Valley View Home property that will be advertised for sale, showed no signs of slowing down.

Altoona Area High School sophomore James Metzgar addresses the Blair County commissioners about playing on the AYSO?soccer fields as a child.
Judy Roberts addresses the commissioners about selling the land used by the AYSO?for youth soccer in Altoona.
After last week's meeting, Marcus & Millichap, the Chicago real estate investment firm hired to market the facility, distributed 2,580 notices describing the home and site, senior associate Joshua Jandris said Tuesday. In response, the company got 35 inquiries and expects more.
"Which is very good," Jandris said.
Commissioners, working on a request for proposal to be distributed to potential buyers, agreed Tuesday to ask that the soccer fields be available to AYSO through October 2013 when soccer season ends. AYSO's current lease with the county is valid through June.
Further discussion and a vote on the request for proposal is set for Tuesday.
Roberts, who spearheaded an effort in the late 1980s that led to creation of the soccer fields, reminded commissioners of AYSO's investment and its value to the community.
"You have quite an improved site there," she said.
Denise Zimmerman Davis, whose former construction company leveled and groomed the former hilly area into a flat surface for soccer grounds, urged the commissioners to reconsider.
"You guys are reaping a harvest because of our work," Davis said. "When that field of dreams was built, it was done out of love and for the generations to come."
"Parents literally moved mountains to make this happen," AYSO Commissioner Faber Moyer said.
Commissioners Chairman Terry Tomassetti said the soccer fields were included in a description of the site because for some potential buyers, that will be viewed an area for future expansion.
Commissioners also pointed to access and parking issues they believe will surface if the home is sold and the soccer grounds are not.
"Access is a big issue and that's what changed my mind," Commissioner Diane Meling said.
Architect Stephen Parks suggested commissioners make the soccer fields an option for buyers to consider or take an action so fields remain available to AYSO until a buyer/owner is ready to develop. The risk, Parks said, is that a buyer will subdivide the property and sell to another developer.
Meling showed interest in Parks's suggestion.
"I certainly don't want to see it subdivided and sold off for another usage," Meling said.
A few soccer players were among the AYSO representatives at the meeting.
Altoona Area High School soccer player Chad Allender told commissioners he remembers scoring his first soccer goal on the Valley View grounds when he played for AYSO.
"Let other children have the same opportunities I've had," Allender said.

|Compositional Variation Within Hybrid Nanostructures
The inherently high surface area of bimetallic nanoparticles makes them especially attractive materials for heterogeneous catalysis. The ability to selectively grow these and other types of nanoparticles on a desired surface is ideal for the fabrication of higher-order nanoscale architectures. However, the growth mechanism for bimetallic nanoparticles on a surface is expected to be quite different than that for free particles in solution. The altered growth process can lead to modulations in stoichiometry, elemental homogeneity, and surface structure, all of which can profoundly affect the catalytic or magnetic properties of the bimetallic nanoparticles. Now, researchers have experimentally observed these subtle structural differences through x-ray absorption spectroscopic studies at ALS Beamline 10.3.2. The results illustrate how directed nanoparticle growth on specific surfaces can lead to hybrid nanomaterials with a structurally different bimetallic component than its unhybridized counterpart.
Platinum-based bimetallic alloys (such as PtNi, PtCo, PtRu, etc.) have been studied in the bulk form for some time and have been found to exhibit vastly different properties than their individual constituent metals. This is particularly true in catalysis, where Pt-based bimetallic alloys have shown enhanced oxygen reduction activity or accelerated rates of alkene hydrogenation. The catalytic activity of these materials is dependent on the surface structure, and although bimetallic materials are rather well understood in the bulk form, the picture becomes less clear when these materials reach nanoscale dimensions.
Additionally, the ability to directly integrate a metallic nanoparticle with a semiconductor structure is highly desirable. The formation of such hierarchical hybrid nanostructures can allow for new properties and applications that are not available with just the individual components. However, until recently, it was unclear what effect surface-directed nanoparticle growth would have on the structure of a bimetallic nanoparticle, particularly on its surface composition.
Using a novel, recently developed synthesis technique, the researchers fabricated hybrid nanostructures consisting of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods with PtCo nanoparticles grown selectively on the nanorod tips. The structure of these hybrid nanomaterials was compared to free-standing PtCo nanoparticles synthesized by conventional solution-phase methods, using a combination of x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies at the Pt L3- and Co K-edges and x-ray diffraction measurements. Because x-ray absorption spectroscopy is element specific, changes in the local environment of both the Pt and Co could be examined independently. It was found that, while the environment of the Pt atoms was consistent in both the hybrid nanostructures and the free-standing particles, there was considerable variance in the Co environment between the two forms. XANES and EXAFS measurements revealed the existence of a thin amorphous cobalt oxide (CoO) phase in the hybrid nanostructures that was absent in the free-standing particles.
The data suggest that the formation of the new CoO phase is driven by the expulsion of Co to the surface of the growing bimetallic nanoparticle on the tip of the CdS nanorod. This is a consequence of the different growth process that occurs on the nanorod tips as opposed to free nanoparticle growth in solution. The Co-rich surface could then be oxidized post-synthesis, yielding the CoO surface. In spite of the new surface structure occurring in these hybrids, it was found that some properties, such as PtCo superparamagnetism, were preserved. However, it remains to be seen how the catalytic properties will be affected by nanoparticle hybridization. A detailed understanding of the structure of complex nanosystems will enhance our ability to create hybrid materials that can be precisely tailored for desired applications.

An attempt by an Amherst council member to place a temporary halt to all six-story building construction in Amherst was soundly defeated, but not before some heated debate and audience participation on the topic at Monday night's board meeting.
Council Member Mark Manna put forth a resolution calling for the town to place a moratorium on the approval of any projects greater than 50 feet in height, though it was unlikely to gain board support.
"I think it's a travesty if there's no discussion of this issue, and quite frankly, an insult to the residents here today," he said. "We should all go on record as to how we feel about this issue."
The town currently permits commercial structures as high as six stories or 65 feet.
But neighborhood backlash has been fierce ever since Carl Paladino's Ellicott Development erected a six-story mixed-use building at Main Street and South Forest Road, and Iskalo Development proposed a six-story Hyatt Place hotel behind the Lord Amherst Hotel.
Several residents spoke out against the Iskalo project and in favor of Manna's resolution Monday night.
"Enough already," said hotel opponent Michele Marconi. "A moratorium on six-story buildings is in order, please."
Council Member Barbara Nuchereno offered to second Manna's resolution for discussion purposes, but called his resolution a "knee-jerk reaction" that may unfairly hurt other commercial projects in the pipeline.
She also responded to accusations that the town was "fast tracking" the Iskalo project.
"I don't know where this conspiracy theory has come from," she said. "I'm on the board. I've never heard of any fast tracking."
Manna noted that the entire board supported the creation of a special committee to review building height limits and design standards that are sensitive to surrounding neighborhoods. Given that fact, he said, the board should wait for the committee to issue its recommendations before approving any taller-building projects.
"We all agree on some level that we need to look at what the development plans were to see if it really fits in with what our vision of a smart-growth future is," he said.
But other council members, and the town attorney, pointed out that the Town Board has no authority to direct the actions of the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals. A moratorium would be "a drastic measure" that would not give residents opposed to the Hyatt Place project any relief, they said.
"I'm just disappointed in this resolution because I think, once again, Council Member Manna is giving false hope to the residents, putting forth this proposal, suggesting that this is somehow going to solve their concerns related to this one, specific project," said Council Member Steven Sanders. "And in reality, there's no way that it can.
"The time that it would take for this moratorium to go into law would be months – for the town attorney to write it, to set the public hearing, to hold the public hearing and vote on the matter. It would take months, and by then, the site plan would already be approved. So this would again be closing the gate after the horse has already run out."
Manna responded, "If we're going to fast track something, let's fast track something on behalf of the residents. We can do it. We should do it. It's sad that what I'm hearing is they won't do it."
Council Member Guy Marlette, who is chairing the committee looking into "context-sensitive" building height limitations and design standards, reiterated the limits of the Town Board's power and the plans for the Commercial and Residential District Review Committee going forward.
"Some say it's after the fact; It certainly is," Marlette said. "I can't change what's already happened. But we can still work toward changing what can happen in the future."

It's a battle of the beats!
They're both just 23 years old, but they're two of the biggest names in electronic music – and Avicii and Zedd gave PEOPLE.com a sneak peek at what they'll be spinning during their turntable takeover in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend.
Kicking off one of the biggest party weekends of the year, Zedd (born Anton Zaslavski) will keep the music flowing on Friday, from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. at Mandalay Bay's brand new nightclub, Light.
"It is an honor to be the one to play for the opening of this club which will hopefully change a whole city," the Clarity producer tells PEOPLE. "We've been working on the concept for my show for so long now and tweaking our visuals and lots of performance aspects. I obviously can't say too much about it yet, but it will be a very unique thing in Vegas and in the whole world."
Meanwhile, Avicii, (real name: Tim Bergling) will be spinning nearby starting in the wee hours of Saturday at 1:00 a.m. at XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas & Encore Resort.
"I always have such a great time when I do Vegas shows – especially on the bigger weekends," he tells PEOPLE. "It's a great weekend to be playing in Vegas with so many people coming out and a lot of stuff happening."
Zedd will be back at it on Saturday afternoon as he and and fellow deejay, Axwell, will entertain guests from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. as they take over the turntables on the 1,500 sq.-ft. stage at Light's daytimespot, Daylight Beach Club.
Check out their playlists below – and BYO glow sticks!

'American Idiot' to make L.A. debut at Ahmanson Theatre in March 2012
March 01, 2011
Rock On: Davey Havok Is St. Jimmy in American Idiot; Justin Guarini Is Will, Van Hughes Is Jesus of Suburbia
'American Idiot' to make L.A. debut at Ahmanson Theatre in March 2012
The Broadway rock musical "American Idiot" -- which features hit songs by the punk band Green Day -- will be making its Los Angeles debut at the Ahmanson Theatre in March 2012. Organizers said the national tour will touch down at the Ahmanson from March 14 through April 22, 2012, with the official opening set for March 16.
"American Idiot" tells the story of three friends contending with war, religion, and other cataclysmic events. The musical had its world premiere in September 2009 at Berkeley Repertory and opened the following April at the St. James Theatre in New York, where it is still playing.
Directed by Michael Mayer, the show uses songs from the Green Day albums "American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown" and features a book by Mayer and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. The Broadway production received a Tony nomination for best musical, and won Tonys in the categories of scenic and lighting design.
Mayer previously directed the musical "Spring Awakening," which ran at the Ahmanson in 2008.
No casting information has been announced for the national tour, which kicks off in the fall, but producers are holding open casting calls for all roles in L.A., Chicago, Toronto and Boston. (The L.A. audition will take place Saturday at the Debbie Reynolds Studio in North Hollywood.)
Tom Hulce, the "Amadeus" actor who serves as a producer on "American Idiot," said in a phone interview from New York that the open auditions are a reflection of the show's punk-music roots. "It is as connected to contemporary pop music as it is to Broadway," he said. "We are extremely interested in anyone who would like to come to us from the rock, pop and punk end of it."
Hulce said that it's too early to say how much of the national tour will be cast from the open calls, but he added that Armstrong will be involved with the final casting decisions. "We're excited to see what we find. It will be a fairly national and involved process," said Hulce.
In addition to the national tour, producers are have conversations about foreign territories as well, though nothing has been finalized.
"American Idiot" will be part of the Ahmanson's upcoming 2011-12 season, which also includes the new musical "Bring It On."

The Haiti Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Control Program is a joint effort between USAID, the Government of Haiti (GOH) Ministry of Health and Population (MSPP), and the GOH Ministry of Education to eliminate and control lymphatic filariasis and soil-transmitted helminths in Haiti. USAID support for NTD control began in 2008 under the NTD Control Program (2006-2012) and continues under the ENVISION project (2011-2016).
With USAID support, assistance is provided by IMA World Health and RTI International. USAID support includes funding for annual community- and school-based distribution of two drugs—diethylcarbamazine citrate and albendazole—to over 4.8 million people in eight departments.
Working in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other private donors, USAID is supporting Haiti in its efforts to reach national coverage of drug distribution toward elimination and control of neglected tropical diseases by 2020.
The NTD Control Program aims to control and eliminate lymphatic filariasis and soil-transmitted helminths in Haiti, build capacity of the Government of Haiti and its partners for NTD control and elimination, and improve monitoring and evaluation of NTD program activities.
Through IMA World Health, USAID is:
- Implementing mass drug administration to Haiti's eligible population in eight departments and 106 communes;
- Distributing primary health commodities, including hygiene kits, water filters, and other items as needed;
- Distributing shoes to school children to help prevent hookworm infection in partnership with TOMS' shoes;
- Educating the population about lymphatic filariasis and soil-transmitted helminths through public awareness and social mobilization campaigns; and
- Conducting workshops and training sessions on health and hygiene for community volunteers.
Through RTI International, USAID is:
- Providing capacity building and technical guidance to MSPP's partners at the central, departmental, and communal levels; and
- Supporting monitoring and evaluation of elimination and control activities by conducting coverage and transmission assessment surveys as well as establishing sentinel sites to measure program impact.
In partnership with the Government of Haiti and working in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, USAID has:
- Scaled up coverage from 26 communes in 2008 to 106 communes in 2012;
- Treated more than 4.8 million people annually for lymphatic filariasis and soil-transmitted helminthes;
- Achieved average program coverage rates above 90 percent;
- Overcome major challenges, such as Haiti's earthquake, the cholera outbreak, and political instability to reach national coverage; and
- Used the Neglected Tropical Diseases control platform to address other primary health care needs.

doesn't Staple have a commercial saying that they'll teach people windows 8? This ad is terrible. Isn't Microsoft violating child labor laws?
7. androidCrap (Posts: 9; Member since: 22 Nov 2012)
This is just a finger tip child's play for you to think of violation. Making your child cry in a diaper commercial is even much harder.

Pobably need to work 8 to 12 hour shift. If it work might need to hire more children in every store.

This ad is a dig on all those bloggers and writers (zdnet, cnet, etc.) who keep saying Windows 8 is complicated to learn. So the ad is really very good because it brings home the point that it's not, that it's actually child's play easy.
By the way, that's just an ad. They have actually not hired kids at the store in Portugal.
27. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
And one more thing, Michael H missed the whole point of the ad. Maybe a kid could also teach him a thing or two.
28. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I fully understand the point of the ad, I just think it was done badly. If you want to put across the point that "it's so easy, a child could use it", that's one thing. But, a lot of people are already frustrated by how MS has hidden some default features of Windows 8, and rubbing that in by having a child teach them is a silly way to do it.
If you want that message, just show the kid using the product, and have the kid talking to the camera like that little asian girl did. You can show off the product, and how it works, and have a cute kid doing it, but this ad just feels a bit insulting. "Oh you don't understand this completely new interface we've built? Here's an 11-year old kid to make you feel like even more of an idiot."
32. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i agree with you, all it really is is a slap in the face because the reality of it is that a kid is not going to walk up to you and teach you how to use W8. the only thing in this ad that would really hold up in reality is the people's confusion and hesitation towards W8.
42. Whodaboss (Posts: 176; Member since: 18 Nov 2011)
Sure, there are many ways MS could show how simple Windows 8 is to use. And yes, this is just one way to so. And yes, Windows 8 is simple and easy to use. I can't for the life of me see how so called tech people find this difficult. It makes me beg and puts into question everything they write or say. Yes, tech writers should feel insulted. And they also should feel ashamed for deceiving or suggesting to the public W8 is difficult to use. Maybe this is why some feel insulted? I wonder?
49. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
do you use Windows as extensively as tech writers? because until you are then you won't understand just how much more for them that there is to learn. i'm sure anyone can get the basics down real simple but to master it and to use it as efficiently as previous versions of Windows is a different story, Windows as a productivity tool has been changed so radically that there's quite a few of us that just don't find it worth it.
72. DetroitTech (Posts: 65; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Exactly. All I saw this kid do in the video was swipe the screen from left to right and draw a couple circles... So now he's a "Windows Expert"...Hey kid can you show me how to open the registry or where is the start button? Oh there isn't one? There was before, before you were born!!! Hey kid how can I keep the Desktop view locked in? Hey kid how can I get rid of the tiles altogether? Hey kid how can I get to the control panel and create some .mmc's. Oh so you're telling me EVERYTHING I need from now on in Windows 8 I just need to swipe and it'll just happen. Just swipe everyone. Just swipe. Yeah I get it everything you did before in Windows 7 you can do in 8 just differently. There was no need to change it. Windows is windows. Keep that swiping tile shit in RT if you want. IMHO. I know everyone does not agree.
Stupid commercial. Is M$ trying to say Windows 8 is now like an iPad? Because I already have an iPad and don't need another one... I want DESKTOP. If I wanted another iPad I'd buy and iPad mini.
97. Whodaboss (Posts: 176; Member since: 18 Nov 2011)
In a word yes! I use Windows everyday, 8+ hours a day! Do, I know everything about Windows? No. Am I capable of learning something I don't know, yes! I don't see Windows being changed "raically" at all. They change the start screen to show live icons versus static icons. Wow! That didn't blow my mind away. If you have a touch screen you swipe left or right or top corners to get certain menus (or use your mouse) nothing difficult there either. If you want to make it more than it is, go ahead. It's your world live in it. It's not difficult at all to me. Matter of fact it's pretty darn simple.
58. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I don't think it's that tech writers find it difficult to use. I think it's that we have families and friends who aren't as tech savvy who have problems. It's not always apparent in WP8 how useful right-clicking is, especially inside a Modern UI app. If you didn't know to go into the settings (or even how to bring up the side menu), you'd never know how to reboot your machine without using your hardware power button every time. I once watched a couple guys in Best Buy trying to figure out for about 10 minutes how to get to the desktop mode in Windows 8, and couldn't figure it out until I told them.
Windows 8 isn't necessarily difficult to use, but it's a very different layout. The layout may be much easier to understand on a touchscreen device, but for those using it on a non-touchscreen device, it can be harder to figure out stuff.
62. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
obviously didn't mean to reference Windows Phone in there. just so used to typing that.
83. rav405 (unregistered)
I for one didnt find Win 8 hard to use....i got used to the layout in abt 5-10mins...I picked it up quiet quickly.....and i use the good old desktop not even a laptop....
98. Whodaboss (Posts: 176; Member since: 18 Nov 2011)
Thank you Michael. And I do agree with your points. All I'm trying to say it's not necessarily that difficult as well. It's just a different way of doing things. Once you show someone how to maneuver around they get it pretty quickly. Granted, not everyone will have someone to show them specifically how to work around at first, but that's still not a reason to pan this new iteration of Windows. It's like the old adage - don't throw the baby out with the bath water. IMO it's a great new OS with a short learning curve.

Anyway MichealHeller its a real shame that you dont know the picture password feature and the actually dumb lines you've written about it in the article, I suggest you correct it.. I thought you guys do research before writing these things :/
61. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Yeah, I fixed that. I should have looked into that before posting. I should have known better than to seem anything less than omnipotent, because obviously nobody is going to be kind about it.

Allow them some time ... they are just trying to perfect "The Art Of Insulting And Making Billions" from Apple. Apple keeps insulting without anyone ever complaining that Apple insults (people buy samsung because they think it is apple device is one such insult being fought out in courts) :)
78. arsenaljimenez (Posts: 178; Member since: 03 May 2012)
I liked it. I don't see it as a slap across the face because they asked the customers if they wanted a demonstration. I'm sure they weren't having trouble with it, but a demonstration is always welcome. It's not like they just sent the boy out to humiliate the customers, they sent him after asking them, sending a boy is just a way to show its so easy a kid can do it.
86. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I think the subtext of the ad isn't so much "so easy a child could do it; if you can't figure it out you're lame", but rather, "this is a new approach and you may have to give it a fresh mindset, like how a child is seeing the world for the first time", and then seeing how intuitive it is. If/when the user doesn't rely on prior experience and opens up to the new interface and experience, they will probably find it much more satisfactory. This is a operating system designed to be USED, quickly and effortlessly, without crazy tweaking or modification. The typical user (over 90% of the installed base) won't need to access the desktop, or the files, or the registry, as long as they are using the OS as it was designed, not trying to cram it into their prior expectations and experiences from prior OSes.
As a hardcore user and professional Microsoft-certified system builder, I find the new system exciting and a great relief, if only because I know it'll be a lot harder for my customers to mess up the computer just by USING IT. So while 7 is my favorite computer OS thus far, 8 is a close second. Even better when it's on touchscreen.

You're thinking of RT. Good old Windows is still in there it's just buried beneath all the fluffy visual touchy swipey tiles. Microsoft is basically serving dessert before dinner in Windows 8.
54. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"Isn't Microsoft violating child labor laws?"
Doubtful. Kids (even younger than 11) are used in ads all the time. The ad agency dotted the I's and crossed the T's.
Net-net, the ad strikes me as short-sighted. As the article notes, people don't like being shown up as being dumb. And that is what the ad is doing.
2. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
He uses my Ultrabook in the advert! Good old Microsoft! I think this ad might actually work, not just due to adults wanting to avoid being 'dumber' than an 11 year old but also shows that kids can use windows 8 and its designed for all ages..
6. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
That kids can use Windows 8 is not impressive.
This generation was born into a world full of technology, and understand how to use it really well.
Not to mention that kids are much better at adapting to things mentally. As people get older, they get more set in their ways and don't want to change the way things are done. I'm still young, and I'm not crazy about Windows 8's new interface. Works alright on a phone or a tablet, but not a desktop.
36. osorto40 (Posts: 13; Member since: 11 Nov 2012)
You also have a desktop. All these people that are complaining about it have never even used it. I show it to customers and explain the benefits all of them actually like it better they just need to know the benefits that it will bring from the cons.
52. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
I used it and it's a bit "meh." Looks pretty, is faster and more secure, works okay once you get your bearings, but I'm still better on the good old desktop and have no reason to leave it.
Also not crazy about how they've locked it down even further. Windows 8 Modern UI (whatever they call it) apps have to be approved by Microsoft. And Microsoft's software tools no longer allow regular desktop apps to be built in the free version. Not good for the aspiring developer.
41. lolol (Posts: 64; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
yeah you are right, my sister is 7 and she uses windows 7 really well, she even uses my windows phone.. Windows 8 will be a piece of cake for her once someone teach her or i guess she might figure out on her own.. Yeah kids of this generation really get the grip of using this tech stuff

I'm a grown-up... and a free thinker who uses windows 8 and WP8. People are going to choose whatever they feel best suits them.
33. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
no, grown-ups use Windows or Mac OS. why? because one or the other is a required productivity tool. remember we're talking about W8, not WP8.
88. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
@Androidiscantspellboss: I tried Android. It was interesting for a little while, then I got bored and frustrated with it, as well as stressed/worried that anything I did to it might mess it up, or that the new app I got would suck up my battery and cause infinite reboots or bricking; in short, I didn't trust it, and it wasn't reliable. Yes, it is open source, and yes, it is almost infinitely customizable, but I used Symbian before it, and while it didn't have the app support and rock-star hardware of the Androids (though better cameras, even today), Symbian did it BETTER. A little lag here and there, sure, but out of a single core sub-GHz processor, that was expected. No apps caused the phone to freeze, restart, or relaunch the OS. It can still do more stuff than Android, with superior task and battery management. I hope Android can someday get to that level, but I'm honestly burned out for it: you many new versions, new phones and new guts, but no sweeping improvement of the brand or breed, even with JB.
That said, I also discovered that Symbian, while excellent and stunningly capable, wasn't what I was wanting from a smartphone, so I tried Windows Phone, and I haven't looked back since. Intuitive, reliable, smooth, fun, and, surprisingly, PLEASANT to use, something I hadn't realized I was missing from my phone usage before. Before the phone was a tool and a multimedia device. Now, with WP, its a useful fun asset I wouldn't want to be without. I hope that google can start introducing THAT into its OS sooner rather than later

Anyone with Windows 8 and also plays games on Steam should consider the free app Steam Launcher. It allows you to make nice live tiles for all of your steam games, it works quite nicely and looks beautiful on the start screen :)
11. pongkie (Posts: 538; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
they should put seniors to demonstrate. It is more embarrassing is to be schooled by your grandpa about computers.
13. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Its ok to feel ashamed. There are those that are better than you, even if he's an 11 year old. Heck my 13 year old son plays drums better than I do!
@pongkie don't underestimate your grandpa. He has more wisdom than you do. Heck I have to teach my 13 year old how to set up w8! And he loves it, including my 17 year old daughter. She's bugging me for a surface!
45. pongkie (Posts: 538; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
I'm not... I'm just saying my grandpa is not that tech savvy because he likes the things better he had when he was growing up like good old books, radios, TV's. He preferred real books over an ipad. he prefer talking on a phone than on Skype.
15. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)

Windows 8 on the PC is terrible. I have had nothing but problems with it. From random "Oops your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart" multiple times a day and mind you when this happens, for some reason my internet has been disabled when it starts up again. I have to uninstall my internet software and unhook my wireless adapter and then reinstall it. It happens a lot if it goes into sleep mode, for some reason it crashes.

Amusing... considering that I've had zero issues with my desktop running Win 8. Perhaps its your PC, not the OS.
31. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Yes because a brand spanking new PC that was installed with Windows 8, yes it's the PC that keeps crashing, not Windows...oh wait no you're right, because a brand new OS that has several growning pains and multiple articles all over the internet about "Windows 8 crashing" must ALL be the PC's fault, not the OS.
39. osorto40 (Posts: 13; Member since: 11 Nov 2012)
Every product goes trough this when launching look at android or even the iphone no suprise here if your pc really is brand new take to where you purchased it and get a new one no problem.
43. lolol (Posts: 64; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
oh c'mon it just got released , they will fix it..

thats very easy for you to say pal. Try spending 1000 dollars on a gaming beast of a computer and having it ship with a crappy OS that has tons of problems and tell yourself "oh come on, it just got released, they will fix it!".
56. lolol (Posts: 64; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
Oh if its a gaming PC , feel sorry for you :(
65. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
not all is lost, when it actually works, it works AMAZING. I can pay Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, etc on the highest settings at 60 fps and that makes happy. Windows 8 just has a lot of growing pains and needs some serious work on.
69. lolol (Posts: 64; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
Hope they will fix the issues through updates really soon :) Glad to hear that W8 works amazing when it actually works :D im also hoping to buy a Gaming beast, but not anytime soon.. Btw can i know the graphic card that you use?

Bethenny Frankel can get a little nutty – when she's in the kitchen, that is.
The reality star-turned-talk show host, 42, who teamed up with California Almonds to promote healthy snacking, is whipping up a satisfying snack that isn't sugar-coated, just like her sense of humor.
Feel like going nuts? Try out the recipe below.
Homemade Berry/Almond Granola
4 cups rolled cut oats
2 cups slivered almonds
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ cup warm water
½ cup maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tsp. vanilla
½ cup raisins
½ cup dried cranberries, dried cherries or dried blueberries
Set oven to 300 degrees, and place the oven rack to center position. Lightly oil two large baking sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together oats with nuts and spices. In a small bowl, stir together the warm water with maple syrup and vanilla. Slowly pour the syrup mixture over the nut mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Spread out the greased baking sheets.
Bake on the center oven rack for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning, until the granola is crumbly and golden. Remove from the oven and stir in fruit and raisins.
When the mixture is cool, store it in an airtight container for up to five days or refrigerate it for one month.

The Multiple Myeloma Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, one of the largest myeloma programs in the United States, is forging ahead with a number of clinical and basic science investigations that may yield promising new treatments for patients. The Multiple Myeloma Program includes a clinical trial of a unique combination regimen including Revlimid® (lenalidomide), a new thalidomide analogue that has already shown promising activity in a variety of hematologic malignancies.
Promising New Treatments
Recently, the Multiple Myeloma Program has generated a considerable amount of excitement by launching a study evaluating a combination regimen, known as BiRD, that includes the antibiotic Biaxin® (clarithromycin), Revlimid, and dexamethasone. The BiRD regimen represents an important next step in the development of new therapeutic regimens for multiple myeloma.
While dexamethasone alone has a response rate of approximately 50%, a protocol called BLTD (Biaxin, low-dose thalidomide, and dexamethasone) has yielded a response rate of 93% and a complete remission rate of 13% in recent clinical studies. The BLTD protocol was pioneered by Dr. Morton Coleman.
These studies, presented at the ASH and ASCO meetings, confirmed the initial observation by Dr. Brian Durie and others that Biaxin contributes to tumor mass reduction in patients with myeloma and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
In order to further our understanding of these findings, we recently randomized patients to receive either low-dose thalidomide plus dexamethasone or dexamethasone alone. Patients without a satisfactory response (<50% drop in tumor mass) were started on Biaxin. The figure above illustrates several patients resistant to either T or LTD and how tumor mass significantly declines immediately after the initiation of Biaxin. The addition of Biaxin to this regimen seems to dramatically improve both response rate and time to response, even in patients who were previously unresponsive to D or LTD. Whether this effect is solely a pharmacokinetic effect, or involves other cellular targets, remains to be determined.
While acknowledged to be much more potent than its parent drug, thalidomide, Revlimid avoids many of thalidomide's side effects. We hope that the BiRD combination, by replacing thalidomide with Revlimid, will improve patient safety while maintaining the favorable patient outcomes seen with BLTD. We fully anticipate that Revlimid will achieve an impressive complete remission rate, therefore allowing patients to achieve long-term survival. We have recognized the challenges of the use of this drug alone or in combination and we have observed the benefits of aspirin in preventing serious thrombotic events. We have submitted our data to the upcoming ASH meeting and we will be presenting in a dedicated session.
Multidisciplinary Research Effort
The BiRD study is just one of several ongoing clinical trials in which Multiple Myeloma Program investigators are playing a major role. In particular, our investigators have already initiated a clinical trial of consolidation therapy or second-line treatment for myeloma with dexamethasone plus VELCADE® (bortezomib) for Injection, as preamble for an autologous stem cell transplant. The program at Cornell is one of the first to launch the expanded access protocol for Revlimid in the relapsed setting. Investigators are also evaluating SGN-40, a humanized anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody, and are evaluating a new class of drugs called histone deacetylase inhibitors in three separate protocols. Together, these six protocols cover a wide range of patients.
Our goal is to expand our understanding of myeloma, to improve treatment and, ultimately, to find a cure. In order to do that, we must translate research from the bench to the bedside, and likewise, from the bedside to the bench. We need to investigate treatments for myeloma patients in every stage of the disease. My colleagues include Dr. Selina Chen-Kiang, an immunology and cell cycle expert who is currently focused on elucidating the molecular basis of myeloma, Dr. Roger N. Pearse, expert in the field of cell biology, Dr. Hearn J. Cho, an immunology expert, and Dr. Scott Ely, an expert in pathology. We collaborate with a full team of expert scientists and physicians who meet regularly to share new ideas and communicate findings in multiple myeloma.

Workforce Council must include private sector
April 11, 2013
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has "re-established" a state board, the West Virginia Workforce Planning Council, in effect reviving an initiative from 2007 that went nowhere....
WV loves to study and plan. How many times did Jefferson County pay for studies regarding a new high school. Money wasted.

It states, "Otherwise, this new effort to give employers students with job-ready skills will be just another waste of time and money."
It would seem that is what the government excels at though...

Maybe it went "nowhere" because the participants were from govt and higher education. What was the cost/benefit analysis from the 2007 group?

Writer all wet on Geno
April 4, 2013
MORGANTOWN — I was shocked earlier in the week reading a so-called scouting report on Geno Smith, West Virginia University's record-setting quarterback of the past four years....
I'm completely okay with various talent reviewers having differing opinions on a players physical abilities. But what THAT ******* did was character assassination. I have never, ever, EVER heard Geno's character or work ethic questioned - quite the opposite. This guy dumped a full-on "Jamarcus Russell" on Geno that was completely unwarranted.
