A raucous meeting last week of Buffalo police union members upset over past PBA spending practices ended in the resignation of a longtime treasurer and the tabling of a resolution to oust the union's president.
The actions were in direct response to a union-sponsored audit that cited lavish and unaccounted for spending by the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association during the leadership of the past president, Robert P. Meegan Jr. The audit reported union officers attending out-of-town conferences, questionable bills for liquor, expensive lunches and charges on a union credit card by Meegan.
Roughly 200 members turned out for what was described as a marathon, five-hour meeting Thursday in the Old First Ward. Word among PBA members spread quickly that federal subpoenas had also been issued to the union, demanding its financial records.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. told The Buffalo News it is the policy of his office to neither confirm nor deny whether there is an investigation.
Buffalo Police Inspector William Misztal, who has served for decades with the union, resigned after he was given an ultimatum to either resign or face a vote that likely would have removed him, members of the union said.
"Don't force us to do this," a union member said to Misztal, according to someone who was present.
The desire to remove him as union treasurer was brought on by concern over his "methodology of implementing sound financial practices" governing the spending of union dues, union members said.
After Misztal resigned, the union adopted a resolution thanking him for his "40-plus years of service to the membership." Misztal conducted himself in a dignified manner and "walked out of the meeting holding his head up," the member said.
The News called Misztal and left a message seeking comment but received no response.
PBA President James Panus also was under attack during the meeting at the Bison City Rod and Gun Club on Ohio Street because he served as a union officer during the leadership of Meegan. Meegan, who served 24 years as president, retired 15 months ago from the union and as a lieutenant from police force.
After receiving legal advice from PBA labor attorney W. James Schwann, union members tabled the resolution to remove Panus as president.
Panus, currently in his first two-year term as president and before that the union's recording secretary, is in the middle of an arbitration that seeks a police contract settlement for the period of 2007-2009.
He declined to comment on the tabled resolution but said he remains dedicated to seeking an equitable settlement for police officers.
"I'm going to do my best to get the officers a good contract," Panus said, following an arbitration session Friday.
"Members felt it would not be in the best interest of the PBA and so we allowed for a 30-day tabling of the resolution to remove him," a PBA member said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Late last month, an audit of the PBA's books for 2010 and 2011 raised concerns over $56,000 in credit card charges by Meegan that included trips to conferences, airline tickets to those out-of-town meetings for himself and a guest, and, among other expenses, meals while he was at his home in Florida.
He had told auditors at the Buffalo firm of Freed Maxick, which was hired by the PBA, that his work as union president was a "24-hour, 7-day-a-week," job. Meegan later told The News that he had authorization from the union to use the credit card when carrying out union business.
Expensive lunches for the union's board of directors and their guests were also questioned, as were liquor bills for holiday parties.
Many of the auditors' recommendations for a more thorough system of checks and balances, Panus has said, were put into place prior to the completion of the audit.
PBA members said they took no pleasure in the actions at Thursday's meeting, but felt they had no alternative.
"Many of us described it as one of the darkest days in the PBA's history, but the integrity of the organization is in question at this point and some of the members feel it's too much of a distraction," said the PBA member who requested anonymity.
It was also noted that for years Misztal and Meegan fought hard to improve the lot of police officers through tough negotiations and arbitrations.
The PBA represents about 750 officers and supervisors.
Commending union members for their actions Thursday was Larry J. Baehre, who served as union president prior to Meegan's tenure.
"It had to be difficult for the union delegates to take these historic actions, but it was necessary to preserve the integrity and image of the union, whose members go out everyday to defend the community in an often thankless job," said Baehre, who retired as a lieutenant a decade ago.

It will ALWAYS be nice. He's hotter than your average kid, and its all because he's julian. He can sweet talk, but it's only to get what he wants, which most girls will give him, because he's so fcking hot! Short, tan, and hot. The three words to describe julian. if you get the chance with Julian, go for it!

He is the sexiest man on Earth. The darker skinned Julian is usually the dangerous one with all the girls. But in general all Julians are unbelievably hot and sexy. Many women love him and want to get wet all over him. He is a player in essence and has or will have truck loads of money to live a high-end capytalist life.

The faculty and staff of Marrington Elementary School recently hosted Shannon Gamble as their acting Principal for a Day.
Gamble is the president of Carolina Quality Textiles. He spent the day visiting classrooms, and shadowing Principal Barb Webber as she went about a typical school day at the school.
The Principal for a Day programs have a long track record of success in many school districts. Inviting community leaders to shadow a principal for a day is a concept designed to help participants understand the rewards and rigors of the job.
PFAD programs have resulted in appreciation and respect for schools, teachers, and principals, and they have built lasting public relations benefits.

I'm here because OS/2 is dead and for years I worked diligently and
with devotion to help the OS/2 user move forward. From Wikipedia:
"Although IBM began indicating shortly after the release of Warp 4
that OS/2 would eventually be withdrawn, the company did not end
support until 2006-12-31. Sales of OS/2 stopped on 2005-12-23."
The reality of OS/2 is that IBM owns it lock, stock and barrel and
their decision to cease development and to stop selling it means that
no matter who or what promises you they can extend the life and keep
your OS/2 system viable, it simply isn't true.
Those few people using OS/2 today (2008) are now so far behind the
"computing norm" that they are considered relics. OS/2 users were
once ahead of the pack and today, if they exist, are tottering along
far back over the horizon it isn't funny.
They are going to have to move on. To believe Serenity is going to
save their operating system is not only foolish but downright stupid -
and I know OS/2 users are not innately stupid. The longer they wait
to move forward the harder it is going to be.
For me, I had to look at the options. There was Windows which was the
natural enemy. Linux with no corporate support to speak of and
entirely dependent on cranks and geeks (we have enough of them here,
MI5 is a fine example as well as Marty) and OS X. The latter is not
only a fully certified Unix OS but it has an assured future and is
currently beyond the scope of any other operating system out there and
available today.
Apple's move to Intel made OS X even more important and viable for the
OS/2 user because it meant, with a little help from the VPC
developers, I could still run my OS/2 apps until they either failed to
work for me or I found an OS X equivalent. I also knew that OS X was
an object oriented operating system, just like OS/2, so that
transition over was going to be very easy for me whereas a Windows-
centric user would find the transition much more frustrating.
Within two weeks of buying a Mac the only application that I missed
under OS/2 was PMView. I wrote to Peter to encourage development of a
universal version of PMView for the Mac community because I felt it
would be a worthwhile project and application. Today I don't feel
that way at all. OS X comes with so many built-in graphical programs
that edit, adjust, convert, etc., and does all those things so easily
and intuitively that I doubt PMView for the Mac would pay off for
The future: The optical drive is on the path of the floppy. This
year (2008) we're going to see laptops and desktops released without
built-in DVDRW/CDRW hardware. Impossible! Can't happen! But
remember, people said the same thing about the floppy drive and today
you don't give floppies a second thought. The iPhone is already one
such device. And Apple is about to announce (and compete head on with
NetFlix) a new iTunes Movie rental business with such heavy hitters as
20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Miramax and a slew of
independent movie distributors and libraries. The same day a movie is
released to theaters you'll be able to download it directly to your
computing device (iPod, iPhone, iMac, Mac Book, Mac Pro, AppleTV) and
watch it as many times as you want over a 24 hour period.
Apple will probably announce an "ultra" thin laptop on January 15th at
MacWorld. It won't have an optical drive but they'll sell you one
that can be connected via USB and the hard drive will be replaced with
a flash drive(s). Replace the standard hard drive and remove the
internal optical drive and you're going to see a very thin laptop more
powerful then anything on the market today, equipped with Penryn 3Ghz
dual core Intel chips, 802.11n (high speed) WiFi, BlueTooth, paper
thin-backlit displays and more. You won't stick a stack of DVDs in
your luggage when you travel, you load up your keychain ThumbDrive
with all of your favorite programs, TV Shows, and movies and plug them
into your MacBook USB port.
So do you see where computing is going? Do you realize OS/2 will
never be able to go there and the longer you deny yourself the more
frustrated and disillusioned you are going to be.
The best advice I can give to *all* former and current OS/2 users is
to accept the fate of OS/2 and commit yourself to another OS.

The actress, who appears on Nylon's March cover, admits she finds herself craving characters who push boundaries – all roles that are a far cry from her daily life as a wife to Cash Warren, mother of daughters Honor, 5½, and Haven, 2½, and the co-founder of The Honest Company.
"I don't have to be a boss; I don't have to be a wife; I don't have to be a sister," Alba says in the magazine's spring fashion issue.
"It's been liberating to be able to play someone who's a badass or promiscuous because that's the opposite of who I am ... It's like a drug."
But stepping outside of her comfort zone is still seemingly new for Alba, who adds she was always one to play it safe in the public eye.
"Before, I was so fearful of failure and judgment that I was scared to put myself out there," she says.
Marvin Scott Jarrett
And if by chance, the 32-year-old – who "used to be so hard on myself" – stumbles, there's always an opportunity to start fresh.
"You have to realize that as along as you don't make a habit of it, tomorrow will be here, and everything will be okay," she says.

Kora player Dembo Konte is one of Gambia's most prominent musical exports, and has entranced worldwide audiences since 1987 with the flowing, entrancing melodies of his traditional African harp-lute. The descendant of the great Gambian kora player Alhaji Bai Konte, he has been featured on several recordings from British band 3 Mustaphas 3's Jail Roll (1990) to the all-star roots dance band Tiger Moth's Mothballs Plus (Weekend Beatniks, 2004).
In 1989, Konte teamed up with kora great Kausu Kuyateh and balafon (rosewood xylophone) legend Mawdo Suso to create Jailology, (Xenophile). Described by All Music Guide's John Storm Roberts as "a capsule presentation of the Mandinka culture. It is a collection of songs of praise, remorse, politics and life. It is a journey well worth taking,"

Mark Allen accepts that he's only 5-foot-7, but it doesn't mean he takes kindly to people -- especially college football coaches -- looking down on him because of it.
He thinks he has something that can't be measured that makes up for it.
"A lot of colleges still look at the size, but I know, with the heart I have, size doesn't matter," Allen said. "I'm going to bring my heart wherever I go, and, when I bring my all, I'm going to help whatever college I go to."
That college is going to be Penn State, although it will be a couple of years before he arrives.
Unfazed by Allen's lack of height, the Nittany Lions extended the 185-pound junior running back from DeMatha Catholic in Hyattsville, Md. a scholarship on Monday afternoon. It was his first offer, and Allen accepted before getting off the phone with Bill O'Brien to become the first member of the 2014 recruiting class at the college he has considered his favorite since he was 11 years old.
"I love the vibe up there," said Allen, who camped at Penn State over the summer. "I like the facilities. I like the education. The vibe I got from the coaches, it fit me. They didn't worry about my size. They looked right past it. They just liked me for who I am."
Allen said his commitment is "100 percent." While Penn State was the first college to come through with a scholarship offer, he wasn't the only big-time college to be showing interest in Allen; Maryland and North Carolina were pursuing him the hardest, with West Virginia and Wake Forest also involved.
A starter for the Stags for the last six games of his sophomore year, Allen has 682 yards on 101 carries to go along with six receptions for 77 yards as DeMatha has gotten off to a 6-1 start, its only loss coming by three points to national powerhouse Good Counsel.
The Nittany Lions have been known to be looking at all-purpose backs even in the senior class, like Florida's Wesley Bullock and Maryland's Richie Anderson. Allen fits that to a T.
"We run a pro-style offense, so we're very versatile in what we do. Mark runs from the I formation, single-back, we put him in the slot to match up against linebackers and safeties. He's a kick returner. So Mark does a lot in what we do," Stags coach Elijah Brooks said. "In our first scrimmage, he took an off-tackle play 80 yards and set the tone for the game. That's what you're dealing with -- a player anytime he touches the ball, he can take it the distance. He is so explosive and one of the best athletes I've coached."
Allen opened eyes by turning in a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at Penn State's camp, and he uses that to the fullest advantage.
"The way I get in and out of a hole, it's no pitty-pat. In and out," Allen said.
BlueWhite Illustrated's Phil Grosz compared Allen's running style to that of former Michigan star Mike Hart. Others see similarities with Darren Sproles. O'Brien told Allen he reminded him of Danny Woodhead, which was a big honor since Allen is a New England Patriots fan.
Allen's favorite players, though, are Barry Sanders and Ray Rice. The 5-foot-8 Baltimore Ravens All-Pro has served as both an inspiration and an example to Allen.
"I like everything about his game. He's built really low to the ground, really short in stature. He can come out of the backfield, catching touchdowns," Allen said. "I just feel I can see myself in him."
Allen began playing football with his brother, Marquette, when he was 6. He didn't like the game at first, but eventually came to love it. That helped make it easier to take the time to develop an all-around game.
"Things don't come easy," Allen said. "I had to work."
Penn State has had a great deal of success with players out of DeMatha over the years, like Rogers Alexander, Steve Smith and Cameron Wake. The Lions brought in another Stag player earlier this year, Brent Wilkerson, and that helped solidify Allen's interest in the Lions.
"I consider Brent like a big brother," Allen said. "He'd take me to school every day, pick me up and take me to practices."
Allen said he will recruit other players for Penn State, starting with teammate Cam Phillips, a receiver/defensive back. A fan of the Lions because of their traditionally strong running game, he said the negative publicity from the Jerry Sandusky scandal didn't deter him, and it shouldn't with others.
"That didn't bother me at all, because I don't feel one person can bring a mighty university down," Allen said. "We are Penn State."

The Buffalo Public Schools stand to lose $58.7 million – some of it earmarked for the district's lowest-performing schools – if the district cannot work out a teacher-evaluation plan with its union soon, Superintendent Pamela C. Brown told the School Board on Wednesday night.
"Buffalo does not have an approved plan," she said. "So there's a dollar cost associated with that. The state Education Department has tied millions of dollars of funding to each district's successful negotiation of an approved evaluation plan."
She appealed to the Buffalo Teachers Federation to return to the negotiating table to work out a plan that the state will approve. "It's time to think about what's the right thing to do," she said. "There's too much at stake here for the children and the staff and everyone in the City of Buffalo."
The governor has said that all districts must have a state-approved plan in place by Jan. 17, 2013, or forfeit this year's increase in state aid. For Buffalo schools, that works out to $33.4 million.
In addition to that money, another $25.3 million in various grant funds is contingent on the evaluation plan, Brown said. That includes $17 million in school improvement funds.
If the district loses $58.7 million, the superintendent said, the results would be "devastating," resulting in significant layoffs, although she said she did not know exactly how many.
The union's governing body, the council of delegates, in late September voted to halt negotiations until the district drops its court case regarding the 53 teachers it involuntarily transferred out of three schools this year as part of improvement plans.
An arbitrator has ruled that the transfers violated the contract, and a State Supreme Court justice upheld the ruling. The district last week filed an appeal.
The district submitted a 2012-13 teacher-evaluation plan in early July, meeting the state Education Department's deadline, but the state rejected it, largely because it awards teachers too many points based on the number of students who have disabilities, don't speak English as their native language, or are chronically absent.
Because of those extra points, it would be impossible for some teachers to ever be rated ineffective, according to both the superintendent and union President Philip Rumore.
School Board members voted unanimously Wednesday to send a letter to Rumore urging the BTF to return to the negotiating table.
"What's happening here is unacceptable to this district," said Sharon Belton-Cottman, who represents the Ferry District. "This board is basically helpless at this point because we are being held hostage."
Ralph R. Hernandez of the West District was the only member to express concerns about crossing the union. "We have to continue to work as hard as we possibly can without violating those agreements," he said. "… If you violate a contractual agreement and you end up in court, you lose."

PITTSBURGH - So far we know this much about the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers: They tend to fold in the fourth quarter, they haven't won on the road, and their injury list is as long as the Bellwood phone directory.
They're 2-3, but it seems worse. Maybe that's why linebacker Larry Foote suggested all these crises will seem funny in the rear view mirror after another 10 weeks.
It's also possible that the Steelers just aren't very good. The NFL system works against sustained success with drafting order and salary cap issues that come from having accomplished players. That's the way it's supposed to happen. The league doesn't want dynasties; it wants to sell hope in every market.
Cleveland aside, darned if they aren't doing that. New England goes to Seattle and loses. The Bengals look like they're finally going to do something. Then they lose to the Browns.
This morning seven of the 16 teams in the AFC are 3-3. If the Steelers beat the Bengals tonight, they'll have the same record. If they lose, they still won't forfeit their chance to spend the holiday season chasing a wild card spot.
You don't have to be great to be a playoff contender in today's NFL. You just have to avoid being awful. The Steelers haven't decided which way they're headed on that, but it's hard to imagine a team with Ben Roethlisberger and that group of receivers being awful.
It would help if the defense could stop someone once in a while. (Paging Ike Taylor).
The Steelers haven't looked good, but they have plenty of company in that department. It may wind up being a lousy year, but that determination is still a long way off.
Low class
Delmon Young of the Detroit Tigers was named MVP of the American League championship series.
Jackie Autry, widow of Gene Autry, presented Young with the award on behalf of the league. In making the presentation, she proclaimed Young "a class act."
In April, Young was arrested in New York at 2:40 a.m. outside the Tigers' hotel. He was accused of shouting anti-Semitic remarks to a man he then pushed the ground. The police report said Young was highly intoxicated. He was suspended for seven games, and faces a Nov. 7 hearing on those charges.
As a minor leaguer in 2006, Young was suspended for 50 games for throwing his bat at an umpire.
There must be a different definition of class in the American League.

WELLSVILLE -Every second matters.
That point was proven once again Wednesday night at Wellsville as the Wellsville and Beaver Local boys' basketball team staged an instant classic. In the end, Nate Scott stole and inbounds pass and drove in for a layup as time expired giving the Tigers a thrilling, 73-71 victory over the Beavers.
Scott basket capped a 16-point comeback for Wellsville.

With the win, Wellsville improves to 12-3 on the season. The loss drops Beaver Local to 10-6.
Wellsville head coach Bug Thompson said it was a great high school basketball game.
"Yes it was. Yes it was," he said. "I guess that is what they come to the game for. I guess that is why they buy a ticket."
Fact Box
Wellsville 73, Beaver Local 71
BL (71): Chase Hilliard 4 4-5 12, Jared Lyder 8 5-5 21, Ethan Campbell 0 0-1 0, Troy Hudson 4 3-4 12, Zack Mick 6 0-0 14, Josh Underwood 2 0-0 4, Matt Chamberlain 3 2-5 8. Totals: 27 14-20 71.
WE (73): Camden Douglas 3 0-0 6, Nate Scott 9 3-3 28, Antonio Fultz 3 2-3 8, Seth Bradford 10 3-3 23, Brendon Carr 3 0-1 6, Jordan Sloan 1 0-0 2. Totals: 29 8-10 73.
3-Pointers: Beaver Local: 3 (Mick 2, Hudson); Wellsville: 7 (Scott 7)
The Tigers defensive pressure proved to be on of the differences in the game.
"We had a tough time with their pressure at times," Beaver Local head coach Jake Walgate said. "We struggled with at times, and at other times we were able to beat it and get a layup. We had a couple tough times inbounding the ball at the end. We had some tough times inbounding the ball on made shots.
"It was a tough night."
Scott's basket put the Tigers in front for the first time since they jumped out to an early 5-0 advantage to start the game.
Scott was one of two Tiger players to score in double digits in the game. Scott tallied a game-high 28 points to lead the way, while Seth Bradford delivered 23 points.
Also, Antonio Fultz netted eight points, Camden Douglas and Brendon Carr each contributed six points and Jordan Sloan ended up with two points.
Scott also collected seven assists and two steals. Douglas dished out 10 assists to go along with five rebounds. Bradford finished with five assists and four rebounds. Fultz also grabbed four rebounds, and Sloan picked up two steals.
Four players scored in double digits for the Beavers.
Jared Lyder recorded a team-high 21 points to lead the way, while Zack Mick contributed 14 points and Chase Hilliard and Troy Hudson each delivered 12 points.
Also for the Beavers, Matt Chamberlain netted eight points, and Josh Underwood ended up with four points.
Beaver Local led 57-55 entering the fourth quarter.
In the fourth, a 3-pointer by Scott pulled Wellsville to within 61-60. Later, Scott tied the game at 67 with a 3-pointer with 3:25 showing on the clock.
Two foul shots by Lyder put the visitors up 69-67, but Carr tied the score with a basket with 1:11 left to play in the game. Carr was fouled on the play, but he missed his foul shot to keep the game tied.
Then, Mick hit a mid-range jumper to put the Beavers out in front 71-69, but Carr scored to tie the game at 71. Beaver Local called a time out with 31.5 seconds left to try and set up its final play.
The Beavers ended up using multiple timeouts during the final sequence of the game, and the Tigers did a good job of deflecting the ball away forcing Beaver Local to repeatedly inbound the basketball. Beaver Local's final inbounds pass came with 3.6 seconds left, but the ball was deflected and ended up in Scott's hands and the junior raced to the other end of the court to barely beat the clock with the game-winning basket.
Asked if losing at the buzzer was a tougher loss than a normal won, Walgate replied, "they all stink. They all stink."
Thompson let the final play play out instead of calling a timeout.
"If it was someone else with the ball I might have called timeout," he said. "Nate was able to drive to the bucket. He took it strong instead of trying to draw a foul. He was able to get it up on the glass."
Scott not only scored the game-winning basket, but he was able to shoot the Tigers back into the game in the second half.
The Beavers led 38-22 at halftime, but the Tigers turned things around in the second half. Wellsville outscored Beaver Local, 33-19, in the third quarter to pull within two points entering the fourth quarter.
"Scott hit six 3's in the second half," Thompson said. "He made four in the third quarter.
"Bradford scored 12 points in the third quarter. We were able to move the ball around a little bit. We hit some open shots. We were able to open up the middle. Bradford did a good job in the middle of the floor in the second half."
The game was tied at 12 after the first quarter, but the Beavers outscored the Tigers, 26-10, in the second stanza to take control at the break.
Wellsville won the JV game, 59-32. Milik Pullie tallied 17 points for the Tigers, while Chandler Cornell collected 11 points for the Beavers.
Both teams are scheduled to return to the court Friday night. Beaver Local is scheduled to play at AAC-rival Niles, while Wellsville will play at home against Columbiana County-rival Columbiana.

Alissa's music picks are all SLOW pieces. She can't do fast music because then it would only emphasize how slow her skating is.
Alissa's music picks are all SLOW pieces. She can't do fast music because then it would only emphasize how slow her skating is.
I agree about Alissa's musical range . . . it's narrow. She used Dr. Zhivago for her long program for 2 years, and to me, she didn't at all capture the epic, sweeping quality of that music. So I can't imagine her doing something even more dramatic or fast-paced. Jazz might be a possibility, but I'm not sure she really has the musicality to carry that off. To my mind, only the best artistic single skaters are really successful with jazz, people like Abbott, Takahashi, Browning, and Sato.
Really, I don't find Alissa's program great at all, it looks like she doesn't really capture the essence of the theme of the music and the film, the drama, the passion, their "epic" dimension (if you put a waltz there, the program would still work as well as it does at the moment ), but maybe it's because that was only practice... Now, don't misunderstand me: I still think that Alissa's skating is great, she's not the fastest out there, but her grace, elegance and edges are among the best in the world, I just think that this program doesn't work really well for her...
This made me happy to see Her spins look incredible as always.
One of the things about Sato is that she had such quick feet. She did the best footwork among ladies of her era and showed that off even more impressively during her pro career. I remember a commentator once compared her and Surya Bonaly by pointing out that Surya's skating was mostly in one direction, with a lot of two-footed work (and we won't talk about edging), whereas Sato's feet went this way and that way, every possible direction, shifting her weight effortlessly. I've watched quite a few programs where the camera just focused on her feet while she skated.
Sato was such a sunny personality that this was reflected in just about all of her programs. So I suppose this meant that her interpretive range was a bit narrow, but within it, she was beyond compare. I've noticed through the years that she's on many people's lists of top skaters (including mine), even though she has just one World championship and no other World or Olympic medals. There is just something extraordinary in the quality of her skating, and of course her pro career added to her impact.
^^Agreed. She reminds me of Akiko in that I love her on ice personality and that even though she's not always at the top of the podium, her performances usually are. I loved Yuka's footwork...definitely some of the best of her era.
As for Alissa, it's good to see her skating again. Her programs are very one note but like others have pointed out, she doesn't have the presence to pull off more forceful/fiery/energetic/powerful music...so that pretty much boxes her into the soft and pretty category.
My all-time favorite program from Alissa is and will always be La Vie en Rose. It helps that I adore the song but it really is a beautiful program. I love Alissa's smoothness and elegance and she pulls that kind of music off effortlessly. Is she sticking with La Vie for her SP next season? I remember that was supposed to be the plan for this past season.
I'm not sure where she is right now (lots of stroking around, no jumps, spins not all there) but I do hope she gets herself together for the season. She has an uphill battle for sure, but if she can put it together at nationals, I'd be happy for her to get that 3rd spot to the Olympics...as long as she does enough to earn it.
A local news feature on Gracie Gold. It doesn't tell us much that we didn't already know, but it's great to see that Gracie is already hard at work training for the Olympic trials.
Unless Alissa returns to her 2011 form by 2014 Nationals, it'll be nigh on impossible for her to beat a healthy Ashley, who's slowly been inching up on PCS and may finally get a solid 3-3 (which she will most definitely need if she wants to contend for an Olympic medal).
But can a mostly clean, semi-healthy Alissa beat Gracie at full strength?
Gracie gets good PCS based on the fact that she's fast, has very nice ice coverage, is a good multidirectional skater, and because of these things seems to project well (ie skates "big" compared to some of the other first year seniors like Li and Tuktamysheva). Yes, these are all areas she needs to improve to become a medal contender on the World stage, but she has a really good foundation both in the air and on the ice to be the American lady in the very near future.
I do think a solid performance from Alissa will be held up over nearly everyone else (excluding Ashley and Gracie). The judges love her and would like to see her go to Sochi if only to have the experience before she retires. I keep saying I don't want to see Alissa held up over anyone and I do mean that...to an extent. If nationals ends up being somewhat of a splatfest and Alissa is able to hold up decently, I would be okay with her receiving that 3rd spot.
In a way she's earned it. Think about it: prior to Ashley's hot streak last year, Alissa was the only US lady to win gold at any GP event since Kimmie in 2007 and the only US lady to medal at the GPF since Sasha won silver back in 2003, and it was a gold medal to boot. As odd as it is to say, Alissa carried the US ladies on the international scene by herself for quite a while. Ashley, Rachael and Mirai chipped in with silver and bronze medals over the years but none of them won gold (prior to Ashley's gold streak last year).
After watching Alissa's Skating Lesson interview, I can admit I now have a soft spot for her. I would like to see her make it to the Olympics...but she can't do what she did at nationals in 2010 and completely tank and expect the judges to bail her out 100%. She has to deliver on some level. I'll keep my fingers crossed for her.
If by "quite a while" you mean 2 months, then perhaps...Alissa carried the US ladies on the international scene by herself for quite a while.

Hoard's Dairyman Handy Hint October 25, 2010
Handy Hint: October 25, 2010
Neck rails that give
A local builder created a neck rail that has some extra give to it. As shown in the photo, the rail is mounted above the feed aisle and equipped with a second pipe that can move forward if a cow is pushed from behind or lunges for extra feed. This reduces the pressure on the neck region but keeps cows in their place, reports Bernie Vander Meulen of Corner's Pride Farm in Rosedale, British Columbia, Canada.

on December 24, 2012 - 9:41 PM
A glistening white Christmas tree, with wrapped presents peeking out from beneath decorated branches, brought sparkle and holiday cheer to Bernice Montanez and her family.
But the Season of Giving really arrived early this month for them, thanks to the News Neediest Fund.
The family recently moved into their Massachusetts Avenue apartment on the West Side, which was virtually empty of furniture and food when The News reported on their situation Dec. 5.
Now, it's furnished, and the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator are stocked, thanks to readers' generosity.
"I feel a lot better. I'm very blessed to have people – total strangers – in my life that care about me, that want to help me. They put love in my heart," Montanez said.
"I would like to thank everyone. Hopefully, by this time next year, I will be in a position to pay it forward."
The Montanez family was one of 6,450 families helped this year in Erie and Niagara counties by the News Neediest Fund, in which The Buffalo News teams up with the United Way of Buffalo & Erie County and Greater Niagara, the Olmsted Center for Sight/211 CRS and others.
That total includes toys and other items for 11,907 children, according to the preliminary count. More than 2,000 individuals and corporations have given $182,847 in cash contributions, with that amount also expected to rise.
Angel Gordon, the subject of one of the News Neediest stories, was offered help of a different kind. Leslie Ayer, program coordinator for the Buffalo and Erie County Workforce Development Health Professions Collaborative, read that Gordon hoped to be a nurse someday. He called her to say she was eligible for a grant that would help her train as a certified nurse assistant while receiving transportation and day care assistance.
"[Gordon] said this was 'the best Christmas present I have received in a long time,'" Ayer said.
Nor was it only adults who gave. Those who helped came in all sizes, including children.
Madison Scott, 11, helped get donations of 1,000 toys and 300 pounds of food, while 5-year-old Olivia Roneker's efforts helped collect enough food to fill two SUVs.
A young boy who wanted to help after reading a News Neediest story had his father drive him to The News to donate $35.
No story this season got a bigger response than that of Montanez, a 35-year-old single mother who, after being struck by a car five years ago, was in a coma for six months and suffered a traumatic brain injury.
The accident caused her to lose partial use of her right arm, and she eventually had to learn to walk again, wobbly, on her toes.
Montanez, who does piecework at Goodwill, and her two sons – her two daughters live with their father – were forced to live with relatives for several months before moving into an affordable-rate apartment last month rehabilitated by PUSH Buffalo.
But there was no furniture, except for a love seat; no food, except peanut butter and jelly; and nowhere to sleep. Hours after the story appeared, the first of numerous donations – from furniture to gift cards to cash – began pouring in.
The Basil family, which owns automobile dealerships, had delivered a new queen-sized bed for Montanez and smaller beds for the boys.
A couple, who wish to be anonymous, provided a coffee table, end tables, pullout couch, two chairs – including a recliner – glass cabinet and dining table with chairs that belonged to a recently deceased family member.
Jason Hunter, 38, and sister Carly Hunter, 31, of Eden, were so moved they called The News with a truck full of groceries, looking for a delivery address.
"They can have steak and shrimp tonight," Jason Hunter said.
But that wasn't all.
They bought each of the boys laptops, a phone for Montanez with a year's service and five sets of winter hats and gloves, which the article noted she and her teenage sons needed. They also gave Montanez $500 to buy Christmas gifts for her daughters, which the article said she had been unable to do the past two years.
They also bought the family a flat-screen TV.
The humble brother and sister, who work as a corrections officer and marketing director, respectively, said they spent about $2,000.
"She looked so stressed in that picture, and we felt for her so much. We wish we could do more," Jason Hunter said. "We grew up with a family of seven kids and not having much, and we've been blessed. We just want to share our blessings."
The brother and sister arrived at Montanez's door with a bouquet of flowers.
"It was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life," Jason Hunter said later. "It was a true, pure experience."
Goodwill and PUSH, Montanez's News Neediest Fund sponsor, also received offers of help. Maria Zwack, Montanez's case manager at Goodwill, said one woman brought in a roll of quarters.
"She'll need them for cleaning clothes at the laundromat," Zwack quoted the woman as saying.
Zwack said she's thrilled to see good things happening to Montanez.
"Bernice would give her last dime to anybody. She would give it away before she found comfort for herself," Zwack said. "She has also pushed through a lot of pain and discomfort to get to where she is now."
Alvin Gibbs, the maintenance supervisor for Montanez's apartment building, said it's been wonderful to see the changes because of the News Neediest Fund.
"Since the story, she doesn't do nothing but cry and talk about how much she appreciates everything. She had nothing, she was sleeping on the floor with her kids. Now she has beds, she has all the necessities of life, and she's definitely grateful," Gibbs said.
Montanez said she now is getting a good night's sleep for the first time in months. And Zaindre, her 15-year-old son who had earlier told her, "Mom, my pride is almost gone," has a greatly improved outlook.
"Oh God, he's excited. He doesn't seem like that now. He's really back to his old self, except he's happier," she said.
So was Montanez on a recent day, as she looked out on the Christmas tree that a daughter and niece decorated. Nearby in a vase were the flowers Jason and Carly Hunter gave her.
"I'm going to [dry them] and put them in my Bible," she said.

Maui Hands in Lahaina will feature the work of "The Crayon Artist" Jeffrey Robert from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Fridays in June. Wine and refreshments will be served during this month's Lahaina Second Friday town party.
Throughout June, Robert will feature his "Crayon Collectibles" line, with each piece showcasing a crayon with the title of the artwork printed on the wrapper to serve as the nameplate for the framed artwork.
"I enjoy creating fun and happy images that make people happy, because being happy is always in style," says Robert. "People often appear serious when they view art in the galleries, but when they see my 'Crayon Collectibles,' they automatically light up and start to smile."
The public is also invited to visit with these fellow Maui Hands artists throughout June: bead artist Rona Smith will be making her eclectic and fantastical pieces known as "Zebewa" from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Maui Hands in Kaanapali; Christine Halton will create her etched-wood paintings from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays at Maui Hands in Makawao; and silversmith Robin Kaimikaua will introduce her new sterling earring line from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Thursdays at Maui Hands in Paia.
For details, visit www.mauihands.com.
Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center has teamed with Haleakala National Park to create its inaugural Artist in Residence program. The program is currently welcoming Connecticut-based printmaker, painter and collage artist Natalie Westbrook, a lecturer at the Yale School of Art and part-time lecturer at Norwalk Community College and Housatonic Community College.
During her two-week residency, Westbrook will create a new series based on Haleakala's unique and rare flora, such as the 'ahinahina, or silversword, found only along east Maui. She will then donate an original artwork to the park at the end of her stay.
Hui No'eau will host Westbrook at its Kaluanui estate for a free artist chat and slide show, titled "Dreaming in the House of the Sun," on June 13, plus a hands-on "Basic Drawing Intensive" workshop on June 15. Cost for the workshop is $15 ($32 for nonmembers) and space is limited. Advance registration is strongly encouraged.
Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center will also welcome ceramicist Ken Matsuzaki to its 2013 Visiting Artist program.
Matsuzaki is based in Mashiko, Japan, and is currently the president of the Mashiko Potters Association and has work featured in institutions throughout the world. His work captures the essence of the pots from the Momoyama Period and Mingei.
The public is invited to a free artist presentation and potluck with Matsuzaki from 6 to 7 p.m. June 14 at Hui No'eau's ceramics studio. In addition, a two-day Japanese Pottery Techniques workshop will be held on June 15 and 16.

Suddenly, the suffering seemed real.
For observers standing on Squaw Island on Saturday evening, watching the lighting of a massive bonfire meant to commemorate the burning of the communities of Black Rock and Buffalo 199 years ago, the biting cold and sharp wind, coupled with the mist and light drizzle, made tangible some of the sufferings endured by the region's forebears during the War of 1812.
"It's raining out, and they were freezing," said Karen Chiavetta of Orchard Park, who had brought her 17-year-old daughter Kate to the bonfire. "If you are standing in someone else's shoes, you get a better idea of what they went through."
"Can you imagine if you had an infant – and you went through something like this?"
The event, a third annual commemoration known as "Flames Across Niagara," was held to mark the occasion of the burnings of Buffalo, Black Rock and Lewiston during the War of 1812, as well as the peace that has existed for two centuries between the nations.
The burning of Buffalo took place Dec. 30, 1813, but organizers of the event said they held the memorial earlier in the month to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year's, and also to avoid even more bitter temperatures.
Some 100 people turned out to witness the bonfire on the American side, and large crowds were also expected in Fort Erie, Ont.
"We have to remember their sacrifices," said Warren Glover, an organizer of the American portion of the event in his role as chairman of the historic preservation committee of the Black Rock/Riverside Good Neighbors Planning Alliance. "A lot of personal sacrifice [occurred] in those days."
The goal of the "Flames Across Niagara" commemoration is not only to mourn the loss of a fledgling city – an estimated 143 buildings were lost in Buffalo and Black Rock, the crowd was told, and some 400 to 500 people fled – but to instill in modern-day Western New Yorkers an appreciation for what the citizenry of those days suffered, organizers said.
"We want people to understand the sacrifices in personal wealth and liberty that were given by our soldiers and civilians on the Niagara Frontier," said Glover.
The proceedings got off to a dramatic start.
"Fire the village!" cried a re-enactor dressed in British officer's uniform, giving the command for the pile of wood to be lit.
At that, a large pile of wooden pallets and timbers was ignited. On the top of the pile, a miniature skyline of the city of Buffalo and Black Rock in older times glowed against the dark night sky.
The mini-houses and business were made by Rob Niemiec, owner of the 60-year-old Niemiec Builders Supply on Grant Street, to add verisimilitude to the scene.
"It's to give it a little more visualness," said Niemiec, who fashioned the tiny village out of scraps of pine and other odds and ends of wood around his business. "We're trying to re-create the scene or feeling of 1813."
Across the water, in Canada, where similar commemorations were taking place, another large bonfire glowed. Canadians commemorating their country's experiences in December of 1813 were gathered in Fort Erie.
Also during the brief program, cannons were fired in salutes toward the Canadian shore, and re-enactors dressed in period garb addressed the crowd and added color to the bonfire scene.
National anthems for the United States, Canada and England were sung.
Here and there, a taste of the contemporary intervened. At the close of "God Save the Queen," sung by a re-enactor, John Cherry, dressed as a British soldier, someone in the crowd added a jovial line to the last line of the last verse:
"... God Save the Queen."
"... and Kate Middleton!"
The event will take place again next year, on Dec. 7, and is expected to be even bigger. December 2013 will mark a full 200 years since the burning of the communities.

The timing couldn't have been worse.
Last Wednesday morning, barely 24 hours before the Response to Love Center was set to host its Thanksgiving dinner for 300 people, the boiler in the center's basement died.
The loss of the boiler robbed the Kosciuszko Street facility of heat and poked a potential $50,000 to $75,000 hole in its budget, just before the holiday season.
But it stole none of the warmth from the Sycamore-Fillmore-area community center that Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz runs. In fact, the boiler breakdown helped reinforce her ever-present faith.
Since the boiler failure, the Response to Love Center, which provides meals and key services to area residents, has hosted a highly successful Thanksgiving meal and received $32,472 in donations – until the phone rang in Sister Mary Johnice's office late Tuesday morning.
"I think I'm going to have a heart attack," Sister Mary Johnice said after listening.
She later recounted what the person on the other end of the line, a friend and local educator, had told her:
"I don't know how to tell you this, but I opened up an envelope [from a couple], and they're giving the boiler $25,000."
That brings the total donations to more than $57,000.
Sister Mary Johnice now thinks the boiler's demise was perfect timing. It happened before the really cold weather, when pipes would freeze and the building would be really cold. And it happened on the eve of the holiday season, when people are in a giving mood.
"It's an experience where you shake your head and say, 'Wow,' " she said. "That's the only thing I can say: 'Wow.' It's a sense of wonder: How could this response happen? I feel it was God's way to bring this community together."
Sister Mary Johnice marveled at the way her neighborhood community – a multi-denominational population with a high percentage of Muslims – has rallied around the center.
"The money that comes in is good, but to see the people who come in and are excited, to see people wanting to help, to see people wanting to give, even if they don't have a lot – seeing all those things warms my heart," she said. "It's like a miracle."
Here are some of the donations that have touched Sister Mary Johnice and her top assistants, part of what she calls her "God Squad," including business manager Robert K. Sprague and webmaster/security chief Michael Gilhooly.
• One man came in, saying he had grown up in the same neighborhood as Sister Mary Johnice – on Lord Street, no less. He gave $50.
"We knew what it was to be poor," he told her. "I wish it could be more."
• A not-so-well-dressed man came in with $100 in cash, wishing to remain anonymous.
• Another man came in, asking whether Sister Mary Johnice recognized him. He said she had been his "pseudo mom" when he lived in the neighborhood, and he remembered when she took him to get some coats and other clothing. He gave $25.
• And a woman, who's apparently on Social Security Disability, came in with a note apologizing that she couldn't give more than the $5 she was donating.
Much larger gifts have come from the Food Bank of Western New York, Our Lady of Hope Province of the Felician Sisters and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Church. And several contractors have come in to offer free labor or services, including HDE Electric, MJ Mechanical Services and Lehigh Pro.
Sister Mary Johnice, who wore long sleeves and two brown sweaters inside the center at 130 Kosciuszko St. on Tuesday, is overwhelmed, but not completely shocked, by the outpouring of support.
"Sister is on a different plane of faith," said Gilhooly, the center's webmaster. "I know things are going to get accomplished, but Sister knows it."
Curiously, the boiler died less than three weeks after the Response to Love Center bought its building from St. Adalbert's Church for $125,000. Sister Mary Johnice signed that agreement Nov. 2.
"When I signed the papers, I became a real estate owner," she said. "I said that's not my mission. My mission is to the people, not to be a real estate owner. So I handed it over to God and said, 'You will be the landlord.' "
Nineteen days later, the boiler went.
"I didn't feel discouraged," she said. "I didn't feel upset. I just said, God has a sense of humor.
"He's my landlord," she added. "At least I know He's not an absentee landlord."

A term normally found on college campuses, the title became popular when many people did not have early morning classes on Fridays, allowing them to drink and party on Thursday night. Every Thursday of every week durring the semester is Thirsty Thursday; there is no specific or special date for it.
Dude it's Thirsty Thursday! Stop studying and have a beer!

Can you define these popular missing words?
Pioneered by business school students who don't have class on friday like everyone else. Thirsty Thursday's is the worship of the gods of alcohol intoxication with limited consequences. Most important at colleges with a high commuter to on campus population ratio.
The best parties on campus are on Thirsty Thursdays.

More recently redefined as a night of unsavoury desperate behaviour exhibited by single individuals at countless drinking venues around the country, regardless of whether they are Students or not. Intoxicated members of the public plagued by irremediable loneliness develop a natural thirst for attention. Males can often be seen impersonating thirsty hoes and violence can break out amongst them in displays of ritualised agnostic behaviour. Competition can be fierce due to the females being heavily outnumbered by the males. The thirst is real.
Boy1:"Yeah Boyyy its Thirsty Thursday You Coming to Norton's Bar!!?"
Boy2: "Standaaaard! theres gonna be loads of rat out"
Girl1: "Yeah Girlll we're going out tonight right? It's Thursday and i'm thirsty!"

Editor's note: Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., released the following statement in honor of those who have dedicated their lives in service to our country.
"Despite the feeling of partisanship that has come to characterize the national political scene, elections remind us how special it is to live in a peaceful, thriving democracy.
"While elections only come every so often, Americans risk their lives every day, all over the world, to defend freedom and opportunity back home.
"I am forever grateful to the men and women who serve in the military for their selfless service. And to the families with loved ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, we will forever honor their legacy."
Capito introduced legislation this Congress to help our nation's rural veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries receive the care and treatments they deserve.
H.R. 3369 provides for the establishment of TBI specific case managers in rural areas that will assist veterans in receiving the proper care for their TBI-related injuries. Second, it allows these case managers to contract with private providers in rural communities so veterans and their families do not have to be away from home for extended periods of time to receive treatments.
The dramatic improvements in medical technology and battlefield treatment of wounds has resulted in many more service men and women surviving serious injuries sustained during war time.
One of the most challenging wounds sustained by our military men and women are traumatic brain injuries. The severity of TBI can range widely, necessitating further research and the development of treatment options.
TBI often can be debilitating and frequently results in extensive treatment and rehabilitation.

I'm too tired and drunk to think about who I'd want to acquire, but as for who should go I mostly agree, though honestly I'd keep Flip. I don't know that he'll have a breakout year like everyone hopes, but he's got a lot of great qualities that fit this team. When he's healthy and physical, he's effective.
Let me say thank you to the Wings. They did a good job all season long and I'm proud to be a Wings fan!
This offseason we need some changes.
What do you think?
- Lids has to stay for one more season
- Mo, Drapes, Osgood, Salei have to go
- Keep Joey Mac, he was fine for me
- Try to sell Hudler or Filppula, 3 M can be better used (buyout?)
- Re-sign Miller, Eaves, Ericcson
- We have at least 6.5 M left (if the cap doesn't change)... who would you acquire?

Amid Protests, Fate of German Solar Industry Remains UnclearMarch 9, 2012 Posted by Feyth
Likely a result of mass protesting, the German government recently announced that their scheduled cuts in solar subsidies would be delayed and perhaps revised. Cuts for residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been delayed until May. At that time, incentives will undergo gradual reductions each month. Cuts for solar utilities have been delayed until June.

One after one, supporters came up to give Jill Helsel a hug and offer some words of encouragement.
The Altoona Area High School girls basketball coach looked as though she had just sweated out an overtime win, and that might not have been very far from the truth. As far as victories go, it definitely was that, but perhaps more bittersweet than sweet.
"Oh, I don't know. Just relieved, happy," Helsel replied when asked if she could describe her feelings.
Helsel survived not one but two votes of the Altoona Area School Board on Tuesday at the junior high school to retain the position she's held for the last three years. In the afternoon, the athletic council voted to recommend to the board as a whole that Helsel be hired for another season.
That didn't mean she'd be back, though. That was only assured early in the evening when the board voted 6-2 in her favor - Skip Dry and Cheryl Rupp voting against.
It wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement for Helsel, who had taken the Lady Lions to the District 6 Class AAAA championship game in each of her seasons - winning twice - and compiled a 54-18 record over that span.
It might have been an ugly win, but Helsel will take it.
"You can't really think about it. You just have to think about your players," Helsel said, responding to a question about how secure she felt as coach moving forward. "You can't really think about what-ifs."
The motives for dissatisfaction with Helsel, a Division I college product at AAHS who played at the end of the Art Taneyhill era, were somewhat vague. Dry, who also voted against recommending her to return as coach, would not comment on his reason.
"I'll give you the same two words. You can turn that [voice recorder] on all you want. No comment," Dry said before leaving the meeting. "It's personnel."
In the past several weeks, the athletic council has entertained groups both against and for Helsel. Athletic council head Dick Lockard felt at least some of the concerns about Helsel had merit.
"I thought she's done a good job as the coach, but some of the things that were brought to the board, I questioned, about the language [she used] and stuff like that," Lockard said. "She denied all that."
Another issue involved the transfer of two Lady Lions to archrival Hollidaysburg over the summer, including senior Alexia Servello, who started as a junior for the Lady Lions and got a scholarship to play at Shippensburg University, and junior Alexis Palfey, daughter of AAHS teacher and former football coach Tom Palfey; the younger Palfey's twin sister stayed at Altoona.
Lockard said he felt those transfers were motivated by basketball and not academics. However, he said Helsel answered the charges to his satisfaction.
"She was very professional and answered all the questions we had," Lockard said.
Helsel described the issues that led to the split vote on Tuesday as "ongoing," but she said she was surprised that it had gotten to this point.
"I haven't had any complaints from the athletic director or the school," Helsel said.
Many players on the current roster and those that had recently graduated showed up on Helsel's behalf at both meetings, as did a number of their parents and even some grandparents.
"I've had huge support from my team, past players, future players, opposing coaches," Helsel said.
Lockard was asked what message this vote sent about the stability of the girls basketball program.
"I can't answer for the two people that cast the negative votes," Lockard said. "All I can say is they must have had reasons for it."

Just putting an address or a repeating name around the outside of the design looks fantastic!
