New Buffalo Bills coordinator Mike Pettine has small shoes to fill when it comes to creating an aggressive defense.
The Bills blitzed on just 15 percent of pass plays under Dave Wannstedt in 2012, according to News figures. Buffalo ranked last in the NFL in blitzing the quarterback, according to ESPN.
I know what you're saying: Tell me something I don't already know. Buffalo's lack of aggressiveness and the blandness of its pass rush were among the maddening aspects of the season for Bills fans.
Yet the degree to which they relied on a straight rush from four down linemen was amazing.
"Were they aggressive enough? Not even close," said former Bills safety Mark Kelso, the team's radio color commentator. "I don't think they moved their defensive linemen enough or brought multiple rushes in a way that was effective. My philosophy has always been if you can't get there with four, you better rush five. If you can't get there with five, you better rush six. If you can't get there with six, you better rush three and drop eight."
The Bills got a decent number of sacks — 36. That ranked 13th in the league in terms of sacks per pass attempt.
Overall, however, the amount of heat on the quarterback the Bills produced was insufficient. The proof is the Bills were terrible at getting off the field. They ranked 31st on third downs, allowing opponents to convert 44 percent in that situation. And it wasn't just because the run defense was bad. They were bad on third and long, too. On third and 6 to 10, they allowed foes to convert 45 percent of pass plays. That says the quarterback was too comfortable in the pocket and the Bills were too predictable.
"They don't move guys," Kelso said, referring to the front four. "They started to twist and stunt a little more later in the year, but there was not nearly enough movement. Too many times guys would line up on the shoulder they're responsible for and that's the rush they'd take. Sometimes they'd execute a pass rush in that situation. But rarely did they go to the opposite shoulder, rarely did they extend the defense or slant."
The Bills played too much zone defense, as well; not enough man-to-man coverage. Wannstedt repeatedly stated during the season that his defense was young. It was obvious he didn't trust his secondary to hold up if he devoted more men to the rush. His conservatism failed miserably.
In the season opener against the Jets, the Bills blitzed on just three pass plays, and their off coverage made it too easy for Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. He completed 70 percent of his passes that day. For the full season, he hit only 54 percent, which ranked 30th in the NFL. The Bills blitzed Tennessee's Matt Hasselbeck just twice in the home loss to the Titans. That included no pressure on a fourth-and-9 touchdown pass from the Bills' 15 to win the game. They allowed St. Louis to march 84 yards in 14 plays to a winning touchdown in the final seconds. QB Sam Bradford wasn't blitzed on the drive.
There's plenty of blame to go around for the Bills' 6-10 season. But if Wannstedt had done a decent job, Chan Gailey still would be the head coach.
A word about blitzes. The above figures all refer to plays on which the defense rushes five or more men at the passer. It does not count four-man zone pressures, in which a lineman drops into coverage and a linebacker or defensive back joins the rush. The News numbers count all pass plays, plays in which the quarterback scrambled and plays wiped out by penalty. (So if a five-man rush resulted in a holding penalty or a pass interference, that counted.)
Heavy blitzing by no means guarantees success. San Francisco had the fourth fewest blitzes in 2011 and second fewest to Buffalo in 2012 but was a top-four defense both years. The Niners do a good amount of zone pressures, and they have a great edge-rush combination in Justin Smith and Aldon Smith.
However, seven of the top 10-ranked defensive teams in the league in 2011 rushed five or more on at least 29 percent of the pass plays, according to FootballOutsiders.com.
The Bills had the fifth-lowest blitz rate (20.6 percent) under coordinator George Edwards in 2011. Their rate was 20 percent under Edwards in 2010, too, according to News figures. They were at 28 percent in 2009 and 32.6 percent in 2008 under Perry Fewell, again according to News figures.
While the Bills' four-man rush this year could have been better, it wasn't bad. The Bills got 28 sacks with a four man rush and just eight on blitzes.
In 2010, Buffalo had only 14 sacks with a four-man rush. In 2008, they had only six on a four-man rush but had 18 with blitzes. Fewell did a fine job of manufacturing pressure. Good thing Wannstedt wasn't coaching that season.
Bills Snaps
C.J. Spiller played 56.2 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in 2012. Spiller averaged 35.6 offensive plays a game, and he played all 16 games.
Fred Jackson finished at 20.8 snaps a game over the 16 games, but he missed six games to injury. In the 10 games both Jackson and Spiller played together, Jackson averaged 33 snaps a game, while Spiller averaged 30.
Here were the play-time percentages for the Bills in 2012:
Offense: Andy Levitre 100 percent, Ryan Fitzpatrick 98.6, Stevie Johnson 93, Eric Wood 86, Cordy Glenn 80, Kraig Urbik 78, Scott Chandler 74, T.J. Graham 68.6, Donald Jones 66, C.J. Spiller 56.2, Chris Hairston 56.1, Fred Jackson 32.8, Brad Smith 31, Lee Smith 28.3, Sam Young 27.1, Chad Rinehart 16.3, Tashard Choice 12.3, Ruvell Martin 11.3, Corey McIntyre 10, Dorin Dickerson 9.7.
Defense: Stephon Gilmore 97, Jairus Byrd 93.9, Nick Barnett 92, Mario Williams 85.3, George Wilson 82.4, Kyle Williams 72.9, Marcell Dareus 72.4, Bryan Scott 54.3, Aaron Williams 50.4, Justin Rogers 49, Kelvin Sheppard 46.5, Kyle Moore 45, Nigel Bradham 36.2, Leodis McKelvin 31.7, Alex Carrington 31.4, Da'Norris Searcy 25, Spencer Johnson 22.7, Arthur Moats 11.
Injured players: Chris Kelsay finished at 26 percent. Over the first eight games, before he got hurt, he played 51 percent. Mark Anderson finished at 23 percent. Ron Brooks played 25 percent over the last nine games, once he was activated. Shawne Merriman played 31 percent once he joined the roster for the seventh game. Before he got hurt, tackle Erik Pears played 87 percent of the snaps.

EVERYONE seems to have provided either a partially or entirely inaccurate definition of what a Cleveland Steamer actually is. This classic and creative move is indeed a way to ensure that any desired break-up with a particular girl is accomplished without chance of reconciliation! Okay, THIS is how to perfectly execute a Cleveland Steamer: First, get your soon-to-be-ex drunk to the point of passing out. This serves two purposes. One, it allows you to precisely carry out the defecation on her chest without protest. Two, it almost assures that, because she drank so damn much, she will be even MORE sickened by the stench when she wakes in the morn. But back to the instructions. After passing out, the victim (girl) must be carefully placed in her bed with the covers pulled back. At this time, strip off her top and lay the longest, smokiest and smelliest logs possible directly on, around and between her tits. One may prep for this by eating lots of green vegetables, collard greens in particular, then smoking a pack of menthol cigarettes and eating jalapeno poppers at the same time. After dropping your shit pudding on her chest, and this is very important, pull the covers (preferably including at least two wool blankets and a down comforter) up over her head. If need be, leave her nostrils uncovered so that she won't suffocate. Then, after "blanketing" the smoking poo on her chest with as many covers as are available, turn the thermostat in her room up as high as it will go. If you can run that heat upwards of 90-95 degrees, DO IT! After a night of her poo pot pie literally baking on her chest under the multi-layered covers AND with a room temp of around 90 degrees, she will indeed wake to the smell in this steamy sauna of shit that will make her WISH she was engulfed by the smell of something much more tolerable, like the stench of rotting possum carcasses in the desert heat. THIS, my friends, is the REAL Cleveland Steamer!!!
"I hated Candace's sorry ass so much that I thought I was actually gonna have to kill her to get rid of that nagging bitch once and for all. Fortunately, I cleverly decided to use the ole Cleveland Steamer ploy, which both got rid of her for good and kept me from going to prison! Cleveland Steamers rock, man!!!"

A cleveland steamer is where you hollow out a melon, fill it with cottage cheese, and then during sex, the man places his testicles in the cottage cheese, while his penis is inbetween the woman's big toe and second biggest toe and then proceeds to have sex with the woman's foot.

To give someone a Cleveland Steamer the right way you must shit on a womans chest and the shit MUST be steaming. This is much easyer to do when it is cold outside since the shit will come out warm and it will steam.

Anna Nicole Smith is the subject of a brand-new opera, simply titled Anna Nicole, set to premiere Thursday at London's Royal Opera House. Here, PEOPLE.com has a sneak peek at Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek in the title role.
The piece was written by British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, and the libretto by Richard Thomas, whose previous credits include Jerry Springer: the Opera.
While the reviews aren't in yet, a trailer for the opera promises a salacious spectacle. (Watch it below.) Its cast list reveals, among many characters, four lap dancers, an equal number of meat-rack girls, as well as members of Smith's family, including her deceased son Daniel, her former partner Howard K. Stern (billed as "The Lawyer Stern" and played by bass-baritone Gerald Finley), as well as TV interviewer Larry King.
Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007, at age 39, of an accidental drug overdose.

text: Hatters Finish Strong To Take Series from Upstate April 14, 2013 SPARTANBURG, SC – Sundays in college baseball are usually about pitching. With two of their best options unavailable again this week, the Hatters got sparkling performances on the mound from Chad Rood and Josh Thorne to take a 6-2 victory over USC Upstate in the series finale. The win gave the Hatters (17-20, 6-6 in Atlantic Sun Conference) their second straight series victory on the road in league play and gives Stetson the head-to-head advantage over the Spartans (21-15, 7-8) in the race for the A-Sun Tournament in May. "Not only was this an outstanding game where we played well in all aspects, I told them that these two games, yesterday and today, were the best back-to-back games we have played all year," Hatters coach Pete Dunn said. "That is a step. Obviously we haven't been able to generate a lot of wins and get a run going. We hope that this is part of the process. We played really well for two straight days and won two ball games on the road." Rood got the start for Stetson and held the potent Upstate lineup to just two runs on six hits over four innings of work. The senior has been forced into a much more prominent role this year due to the injuries suffered by Kurt Schluter and Kevin Fagan, that have kept them off the mound. "Chad has been pushed into this role," Dunn said of his senior. "With both Fagan and Schluter unavailable, we have had to use him as a starter. He has given us four solid innings several times. We have tried to push him beyond that a couple of times and it hasn't worked out. Once we got those four solid innings from him we decided that since we had our bull pen in pretty good shape we'd give it to them." After his good effort, Rood turned things over to freshman Josh Thorne (3-0) in the fifth inning. The Stuart, Fla., native was nothing short of spectacular, holding Upstate to just three hits over the finale five innings while not allowing a walk and striking out three. "We were hoping to get two innings from Thorne," Dunn said. "We had it scripted for him to give us two, then go to Joe Dye and Tyler Warmoth to cover the rest of the game, and he just kept running with it. I am a firm believer that you don't make changes when you don't have to. As long as he kept doing what he did, we were going to leave him out there. We had Warmoth ready for the ninth, but we let him go back out there and we never had to go back to the bull pen." While Rood and Thorne were holding the Spartans in check, the Stetson offense continued to peck away. The Hatters scored single runs in six different innings. The first four runs came off starter Madison Bumgardner (4-1) and the last two came off reliever Jordan Rusk. "We got outstanding pitching from Rood and Thorne today," Dunn said. "We didn't make an error, we had 10 hits, we got a squeeze bunt down to get a big run. I am real proud of the club for their effort. We were very disappointed in our play Friday night, but we put that behind us and came back to get two big wins against a very good club." Multiple players up and down the Stetson batting order contributed to the offense. Garrett Russini had three hits, including a double, scored one run and drove in another. Patrick Mazeika had two hits, extending his hit streak to 21 games, and scored twice, and Kyle Pitts had an RBI single and a perfectly executed squeeze bunt to drive in two runs. "Kyle Pitts did a really nice job for us," Dunn said. "He got a couple of RBI and that was a big squeeze bunt to get another run. He brings a lot of energy to the game. We have struggled a little bit at second base and, now that he has finally gotten his opportunity, he is taking advantage of it." Carlos Garmendia and James Rasmussen also drove in runs in the game for Stetson. Upstate had nine hits in the game, but most of their damage was done by Tyler Lesch, who had four hits and drove in both of the Spartans' runs. After a nine-game, two-week, road trip, the Hatters will return home this week for a brief four-game homestand before heading back out onto the road for the rest of April. Stetson will host South Florida on Tuesday and will be looking to even the season series with the Bulls after dropping a 12-8 decision in Tampa on April 2. "We have played better on the road recently, winning four of six conference games, but it is always nice to go back to Melching Field," Dunn said. "We have a big game on Tuesday against South Florida, not only from a baseball standpoint, but we are going to honor our veterans and military people. It is important to honor those guys who have given so much to protect our freedom and I am really happy that we can honor them in just a small way." After the Military Appreciation Night game against USF, the Hatters will host ared-hot ETSU team that has posted back-to-back league sweeps over Northern Kentucky and Lipscomb the last two weeks. With a 10-5 league record, the Bucs are tied for second place in the A-Sun race with Mercer, just behind league-leading North Florida (9-3). "We will have East Tennessee coming in next weekend and they are playing pretty good and have a good club," Dunn said. "We just have to keep taking these small steps and try to get some momentum going. These were two good wins, but we have to try to string some more together to get some momentum."Print Friendly Version More Headlines

Colvin Testifies Before Congress
On March 14, Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, testified before the House committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services about the importance of Social Security to all Americans, and the level of resources the agency needs to successfully manage its service delivery challenges.
"While we cannot be everything to everyone, we will do the best with the resources we have," said Colvin. "What Congress can do to help us is to provide us with adequate, sustained, and predictable funding."
In 2012, Social Security paid more than $800 billion to almost 65 million beneficiaries, handled more than 56 million transactions over the 800 number, received more than 65 million calls to field offices, served about 45 million visitors to our 1,200 field offices, completed more than eight million benefit claims, issued about 17 million new and replacement Social Security cards, and posted more than 245 million wage reports.
"The current budget situation is exacerbating the negative effects of over two straight years of funding levels nearly a billion dollars below the President's budget Requests," Colvin said. Because of this, the wait time for visitors at field offices had almost tripled in the last four months. The average hold time for callers to our 800 number has more than doubled from about three and a half minutes in 2010 to 7.5 minutes this January.
Read a transcript of Acting Commissioner Colvin's full testimony at www.socialsecurity.gov/legislation/testimony_031413.html.

Orlin Wagner/Associated Press file photo Collin Klein�s greatest asset on the football field has been the quarterback�s legs. He became the first quarterback in the BCS era to run for at least 20 touchdowns and throw for 10 in back-to-back seasons.
Orlin Wagner/Associated Press file photo Collin Klein�s greatest asset on the football field has been the quarterback�s legs. He became the first quarterback in the BCS era to run for at least 20 touchdowns and throw for 10 in back-to-back seasons.
MANHATTAN, Kan. � Collin Klein is the Heisman Trophy finalist who fits no mold.
He lightly was recruited out of high school and ultimately chose to attend Kansas State, a program that had fallen on hard times. He was turned into a wide receiver, and then went back to being a quarterback, where he sat on the bench and bided his time.
It finally came last year, when he led the Wildcats to the Cotton Bowl, his bruises and bloody elbows and gritty toughness creating something that bordered on a cult following in the heart of the Flint Hills.
There�s more to Klein, too, that stands out of the ordinary.
The guy plays the piano and the mandolin � how many college kids even know what a mandolin looks like? He�s married to the daughter of one of the greatest players in Kansas State history, but when they gather for the holidays, they prefer card games to dwelling on the pressures of big-time football.
�He�s a great story, and it�s a story that will evolve over time, as we get old,� Kansas State wide receiver Chris Harper said. �It�s a story about a guy that was humble, one of the most humble guys you�ll ever meet.�
Harper certainly knows who would get his vote for college football�s most prestigious award, and it wouldn�t be Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel or Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te�o, though he admits that both of the other Heisman finalists are deserving of everything that�s come their way.
It would be the fifth-year senior who led a ragtag group of guys predicted to finish somewhere in the middle of the Big 12 to the second Big 12 title in school history and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl. The kid from Loveland with the nickname �Optimus Klein.�
�In my vote, he should get it,� Harper said of the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded Saturday night in New York. �Being a biased guy watching football, the dude � he�s done some crazy things. I don�t understand how he goes out there and has one bad game, and he�s already out of it. I didn�t know it goes off of the last game you play. I thought it went off the whole season.�
Yes, therein lies the biggest knock against Klein.
Remarkably consistent all season, Klein had driven the Wildcats to the top of the BCS standings with two games left, a berth in the national championship game tantalizingly close. But he responded with a three-interception game in a loss at Baylor, and all those aspirations were dashed in just one night.
Most people thought Klein�s Heisman hopes went with them.
But with Manziel and Te�o already having finished their regular seasons, Klein took the field last Saturday night with a captive national audience, needing to lead Kansas State past Texas to win the Big 12 title. He threw for 184 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 103 yards and two scores in a 42-24 romp on senior night.
�Well, I don�t know about everybody else, but I don�t know anybody who means more to his football team than Collin Klein,� Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. �I think he�s grown in the program over the course of time. He�s had a major impact, obviously. I think certainly the quality of play that he brings to the table, but as I�ve said so many times, the old adage, he�s a far better person than he is anything else.�
Klein has accounted for 37 touchdowns this season, including at least three in eight games, and he became the first quarterback in the BCS era to run for at least 20 touchdowns and throw for 10 in back-to-back seasons.
The only players to have done it even once won the Heisman: Auburn�s Cam Newton in 2010, Florida�s Tim Tebow in �07 and Eric Crouch of Nebraska in �00.
�I�m just honored with this opportunity that the Lord has provided me,� Klein said. �I�m so proud to represent K-State in this, because I feel like my road is very synonymous and in line with the K-State way. It�s been a process; it�s been a journey. There have been a lot of ups and downs.�
Mostly ups, though: Klein threw for 2,490 yards and 15 touchdowns this season and ran for 980 yards. He already holds school records for career rushing touchdowns and touchdown responsibility, is second in scoring and third in total yards, passing efficiency and total attempts.
All the numbers certainly make a compelling case for Klein to do what Michael Bishop could not in 1998 � bring home the Heisman. Bishop, who led the Wildcats to the brink of the national title game, finished second in the voting to runaway winner Ricky Williams, the star running back at Texas.
�He�s a great guy, and that�s really the highlight of who he is, and his individual success is definitely a tribute to our team,� Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown said. �We definitely as a team feel like he�s deserving of representing the Heisman candidate, but just having the opportunity is great in itself.�

Guest blog by Diana Wegner, mother of teen actor and founder of Kids Against Animal Cruelty Lou Wegner
I knew from the start that my son Lou had a way with animals. As a toddler, he looked after our rescued Dalmatian, Belle. Lou would don his knight's costume and dress Belle as his princess. He would say, "Belle will be safe always" as he wielded his plastic sword.
At age three, we enrolled Lou in Jack Hanna's Summer Zoo Experience. Over eight summers, he learned that education, kindness and responsibility were key to saving animals on the brink of extinction. He learned about conservation, preservation and ways to get involved.
He also spent two summers at the Ohio Wildlife Center, gaining hands on experience with coyotes, hawks, deer, snakes and other wildlife in rehabilitation that had been injured by cars or intentionally harmed. It was there that Lou saw animal cruelty firsthand.
When we moved to Los Angeles so Lou could pursue an acting career, he saw his first chance to make a difference. Lou discovered that shelters in Los Angeles were extremely overcrowded, and animals were euthanized to make room for many others to come.
Lou was devastated. He took to the streets on weekends with friends and held signs promoting animal adoption and spay/neuter. Photographer Patsy Dunn and actor Sam Dobbins interviewed Lou as he held a sign that said, "Kids Against Animal Cruelty."
A friend suggested that Lou take the name to Facebook, and Kids Against Animal Cruelty (KAAC) was born. The organization started with 42 members, and has grown to more than 20,000 members with an additional 50,000 in partner coalitions.
KAAC spread across the country, and through the power of social media and teamwork, has helped save thousands of lives. Lou has been a guest on CNN and featured in the Huffington Post, the Washington Post and more than 300 other news publications. Lou has recruited teens to run 15 state chapters, with a goal to have chapters in all 50 states. Bringing awareness to the plight of shelter animals and promoting adoption, spay/neuter and pet responsibility are the main goals of the organization.
Recently, ASPCA Corporate Sponsor Subaru hosted a fundraiser created by Abana Jacobs, Subaru Promotions & Sponsorship Specialist for KAAC, at the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Los Angeles. Participants ran more than 5,000 laps around the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid, and Subaru donated $1 for each lap around the car.

Utah State gets feet wet in new world of free online courses
Herald Journal
By Kevin Opsahl
Utah State University professor and department head Larry Walther compares his decision to teaching a new online course this coming semester to that of an explorer.
Walther is only the second professor to teach a MOOC — massive open online course — at USU. These are courses that are offered online, the resources and content are all free, and students don't receive a grade or any certification.
Oh, and they're massive. Walther's undergraduate MOOC in accounting at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business has already enrolled about 320 students hailing from places including Logan, Boston, Spain, Greece, China, and India.
"From a very broad perspective, education is the biggest business in this country, and technology offers the possibility of generating unequal efficiencies in terms of productivity gains for society," Walther said. "To be part of the learning process ... it's pretty hard not to want to experiment with that. I definitely see myself as an explorer, trying to discover what we can do better and more efficiently."

Let's punish criminals, not law-abiding citizens
Let's stop dancing around this issue. If you want to make gun control effective without taking away any law-abiding citizen's Second Amendment rights, it can be done in three easy steps.
1) Anyone caught with a stolen gun or a gun that has been altered to obscure its origin has already committed a crime and should be jailed for 25 years with no chance of parole.
2) Anyone using any gun in the commission of a crime should receive a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole.
3) Anyone using a gun in the commission of a crime who shoots someone, whether he dies or not, should get the death penalty with no chance of appeal.
Problem solved. Law-abiding citizens can have any weapon they choose to own because they will never be affected by the above. Remember, there are those who choose crime as a way of life. Let them understand the consequences.

Rinaldo gets two games for the charge on Big E
Posted 13 February 2012 - 07:28 PM
Posted 13 February 2012 - 07:33 PM
In watching the video a few times, it looks like Rinaldo ends up leaving his feet in part because he put on the brakes before he hit E. Probably because he knew he didn't want to hit the boards at that speed. Though even had he not gone flying into the air, Rinaldo has Ericsson lined up from the blueline and takes at least 6 full strides to hit him.

Shanny explained in great detail the reasoning. The comparison with the line, and height difference between the two players, and the obvious launching of himself. I doubt he would have gotten anything other than a 2500 dollar slap, but history caught up to him on this one.
Shanny is doing a great job out there.
That contact was totally unnecessary.
Good that Big E did not get hurt.

head shot never even came up. The issue is he launched himself, which is against the rules, plus he has history.
dont know if that deserved a suspension... Ericsson shouldn't have been looking behind him. These concussion rules are so dumb (not that this was a hit to the head).
Kronwall delivered a nice hit last night, and never left his feet. He never launched himself into the player, he stood him up. The game needs more hits like this, and less players retaliating for quality checks.

Here's a link to the Kronwall hit on Kesler earlier this season. If you pause it at :39 seconds you'll see Kronwall way up off the ice. This is why I'm confused about the leaving your feet thing.

It's a good question. Honestly I think there's a fair number of Kronwall's hits that are borderline because of how he launches himself.
In all seriousness I'm not trying to be a smart ass or passive aggressive when I ask this. What's the difference between leaving your feet in this case, and leaving your feet like Kronwall does on a lot of his hits? I don't know the rule so I don't understand the suspension here. Is it because he took the long run at Big E, or because he jumped upward and into Ericsson? Shanny didn't say anything about the head so it couldn't be any targeting issue. Does the intent matter here? Like if you intend to leave your feet it's suspension worthy but if you just happen to come off your feet because of the speed/force of a legal hit it's ok? Seriously, if anybody knows the rule on this and how it's interpreted I'd love to know it.

Looking at this one comparing to Rinaldo's, I'd say Kronner's skates don't get nearly as high off the ice, and because he's coming in backwards he actually isn't launching himself like he often does. His left skate looks like it's basically on the ice through most of the hit.
With Rinaldo's hit I'd have to think it was the long run-up combined with the jump as he stopped. Like I said I'm a little surprised at the suspension but the guy was just fined for a late hit and a slewfoot very recently. Shanny may just be sick of seeing his name come across his desk.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 10:46 PM
Being a dick last week + head-hunter this week = 2 game suspension
I thought a single game would have been what I gave him, but I haven't seen video from the slew foot.
Maybe the jarring impact will make Ericsson suck less.

CAREY - No matter what Hopewell-Loudon did, it couldn't shake itself of the Carey Blue Devils. Every time the Chieftains built a lead, Carey came back with a response. And in the end, H-L fell from the ranks of Midland Athletic League unbeatens as Carey posted a 9-6 victory.
Hopewell-Loudon struck first with two in the first only to see Carey answer in the bottom of the frame. The Chieftains built a 5-2 lead after three, only to have Carey tie it in the fourth. One more time, Hopewell-Loudon took the lead with a run in the fifth, but four sixth-inning Carey runs closed out the scoring and the game.
Satchel Strahm had three hits, including a triple, and drove in two for the winners. Brady Mullholand also had a pair of RBIs and Noah McCarney drove in two with a double. Matt Holsinger and Jonathan Racheter also added RBIs.

Carey's Satchel Strahm rips a triple to tie Wednesday's game with Hopewell-Loudon in the sixth inning.
For Hopewell-Loudon (7-7, 2-1 MAL), Logan Tyree went 4 for 4 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Bryan Scherger had a pair of RBIs while Jordan Stewart also drove in a run. Garret Sendelbach and Braden Park had two-hit games.
Steve Yonts picked up the win in relief. Matt Holsinger went the first five innings for Carey (4-7, 2-1). Tyler Imes was saddled with the loss.
Watts you going to do?
KANSAS - Safe to say, Lakota's Nick Watts had his A-game going Wednesday when St. Wendelin came to town. The Raider fireballer tossed a two-hitter in a 16-0 victory over the Mohawks.
Watts struck out 11 in the five-inning affair.
The game was scoreless into the third inning, where Lakota erupted for nine runs.
Offensively, Madison Jaso and Dakota Gilbert each had three hits with Gilbert scoring all three times he came to bat. Jordan Jaso and Josh Mason each had two-hit days for the Raiders.
Kirian-led Jackets roll
SYCAMORE - Michael Kirian belted a bases-clearing double in the fifth and struck out nine in five innings Wednesday to key New Riegel's 6-1 Midland Athletic League win over Mohawk.
Kirian's blast came as part of a four-run inning that put the Blue Jackets (4-7, 2-1 MAL) up 5-1. He scored New Riegel's first run in the second to knot the game after getting hit by a pitch.
Aaron Reinhart added a pair of RBI singles, Jake Dryfuse scored twice, tripled and singled and Aaron Acree hit two singles.
Dryfuse pitched the final two innings, scattering a walk, hit and hit batter.
Grant Gucker singled in Derrick Sowers, who reached on an error, in the first inning for the Warriors (5-4, 2-1).
Austin Shock took the loss.

OLD FORT - Four Calvert players had multiple hits and scored multiple runs Wednesday in a 14-5 Midland Athletic League romp over Old Fort.
Jesse Gase and Peyton Deats both singled three times and scored twice, Austin Perry had two singles and three runs, and Austin Prenzlin tallied two singles and two runs for the Senecas.
Winning pitcher Jacob Vera chipped in three runs and a single and Drew Ritzler lined two singles as part of Calvert's 14-hit attack.
The Stockaders (1-11, 0-4 MAL) got two singles, a run and RBI from Brandon Tittle, and a single and two RBIs from Mason Meza.
Brad Heilman (0-3) suffered the loss.
Royals rally past Rams
BUCYRUS - Upper Sandusky held a slim 2-1 lead in the fifth inning of its game Wednesday against Wynford. But the Royals rallied for three runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth for a 6-2 win.
Wynford's Zach Lear out-dueled Sam Plott on the mound for the win. Each went the distance, each struck out six, each allowed only two earned runs.
Hit totals were relatively equal; Plott allowed seven to Lear's six. The difference though was the four unearned runs Wynford scored against Plott.
Plott added a 2-for-2 effort at the plate to his day. Carson Mittermaier had an RBI for the Rams.
Miscues, Lake trip Redmen
FOSTORIA - Lake took advantage of seven errors and picked off three baserunners Wednesday to spark a 10-5 win over Fostoria.
Fostoria (8-4) led 4-2 after the third inning, but the Fliers (9-3) tied the game in the top of the fourth and added single runs over the next two innings to take the lead for good.
Kaleb Bemis (1-2) suffered the loss for the Redmen.
Lance Smith doubled and singled for FHS, and Noah Hammer and Donovan Vogel each singled twice.
Different style, same result
GALION - Tuesday, Galion needed 12 innings to finally drop Buckeye Central. Wednesday, all it took was five. Galion scored early and often in a 13-3 victory over the Bucks.
Galion got started quickly with five first-inning runs and the Tigers led 12-0 by the end of the third. Bryton Carpenter did the bulk of the offensive damage with two hits and five RBIs. Galion improved to 12-2, 6-0 North Central Conference.
Buckeye Central (6-7, 2-4) got a double and two RBIs from Seth Parsons. Cole Stacklin also drove in a run.

Three Ventura residents were sentenced to federal prison on Monday for their roles in a Ponzi scheme that bilked hundreds of investors out of more than $27 million. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles said the victims are from all over the United States.
Alan G. Flesher, 65, was ordered to serve more than 17 years in prison for being the leader of the scheme. His brother, Wayne D. Flesher, was sentenced to 72 months in prison and Nancy Carol Khalial, 65, was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison.
All three were ordered collectively to pay back more than $27 million in restitution to the victims.
Federal prosecutors said all three defendants admitted that they used Oxnard companies called Unlimited Cash Inc. and Douglas Network Enterprises, Inc. to run the Ponzi scheme. The Flesher brothers and Khalial sold nonexistent ATMs and Ad Toppers and paid later investors with the funds from the earlier investors.
The following is the entire press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office:
Three Involved in Ventura County-Based 'Ad-Toppers' Ponzi Scheme that Cost Victims over $27 Million Sentenced to Federal Prison Terms LOS ANGELES - Three Ventura residents were sentenced today to federal prison - with one defendant being ordered to serve more than 17 years - for their roles in an investment scheme that victimized hundreds of investors across the United States and caused losses of more than $27 million. The three defendants - two brothers and woman, all of whom share a house in Ventura - fraudulently raised money by telling victim-investors that funds would be used to purchase Ad Toppers, a video device that can be placed on ATMs or vending machines and used to display advertisements. The defendants sentenced today were: * Alan G. Flesher, 65, the leader of the scheme, who was sentenced to 210 months in federal prison; * Wayne D. Flesher, 62, Alan's brother, who was sentenced to 72 months in prison; and * Nancy Carol Khalial, 65, who was sentenced to 48 months in prison. All three were sentenced by United States District Judge Terry J. Hatter Jr., who also ordered the defendants collectively to pay $27,377,470 in restitution. All three defendants pleaded guilty last July to 17 counts of mail fraud and admitted that they used Oxnard companies called Unlimited Cash, Inc. (UCI) and Douglas Network Enterprises, Inc. (DNE) to run the Ponzi scheme. The defendants told victims that UCI would sell ATM machines and "Ad Toppers" - computer monitors capable of displaying video advertisements - and DNE would place the devices in commercial locations that would generate income. Victims were told they would earn income from ATM transaction fees and advertisement revenue generated by Ad Toppers which would show ads for companies such as Coca-Cola, Gold's Gym and Paramount Pictures. Even though the scheme took in approximately $41 million from approximately 790 victim-investors from approximately 2001 to 2005, the defendants did not place most of the ATMs and Ad Toppers sold to investors. "In other words, defendants sold nonexistent ATMs and Ad Toppers and paid the later investors with the funds from the earlier investors," prosecutors wrote in court documents filed in relation to today's sentencings. The defendants used the majority of investor funds to pay personal expenses and to continue operating the fraudulent scheme by paying personal salaries, sales commissions and by making Ponzi-style payments. This investigation was conducted by the FBI and the United States Postal Inspection Service, which received assistance from the Securities Exchange Commission.

Being involved with crafts for more than 50 years, over 35 of those as a professional designer and knitter of one off' items from baby shoes to a wedding dress, having to depend on somebody else was very difficult.
In 2001 when illness struck, and eventually resulted in relying on a wheelchair, it was hard not to just give up. But starting to use the computer again helped to cope with the changed situation. Study was easy to do from a chair! Since that time 8 Diplomas, in a number of varied subjects, have been completed.
Hence My Motto Is NEVER GIVE UP.
Knitting had to go by the wayside for a long time, but one day a relative arrived with wool, needles and pattern and said 'time to start using your talent again'. This was just the challenge I needed but there were many issues associated with it!
The first issue was with the needles: the one with no stitches kept falling on the floor - this was resolved by changing to circular needles and that worked perfectly. To stop dropping the wool on the floor a drawstring bag was fitted over the arm of my chair, so that just left the pattern!
All the patterns previously used were in A4 format - A4 does not fit into a small knitting bag to carry around or put on my book stand - and to work with them meant folding them to see the correct section. Once this had been done a few times you could hardly read the print where the folds were! Trying to keep the patterns in good condition - and workable - was very upsetting.
To overcome this hurdle, a couple of A4 patterns were re-typed into A5 documents and printed out this meant they fitted onto my book rest and in the drawstring bag. To keep them clean each one was put into a plastic wallet and kept together in an A5 ring binder. Great!
Having found the A5 pattern so easy to use the next step was to copyright protect it at http:/www.copyrightdeposit.com/cd2/0030952.htm. This has been used, and will continue to be used in all my designs.
Designing the first little outfit was a wonderful achievement! Since then over 40 patterns have been designed for both boys and girls, and the enjoyment this has given has created a better quality of life.
Now differences don't matter, as great pleasure comes from passing ideas onto other knitters who want an original design to work to.
If you read my Bio page you will see why all my patterns have been inspired and why I am so proud of them.
All my patterns print out on A5 paper with photos on front and back pages and they are all copyright protected.
Of course, you are welcome to sell any items you make from my patterns, but please do not replicate the pattern to sell in any format.
Isaac is a 5 piece outfit comprising 4ply white polo shirt with button front, DK waistcoat, trousers, hat and shoes - waistcoat in main rest in two colours. This outfit was designed for multi purpose use - full set for outdoor travel, 2, 3 or 4 pieces as weather dictates. This truly is a very versatile outfit.

Two candidates are running for the Central District seat on the Buffalo Board of Education in the May 7 election. The Central District encompasses primarily the city's East Side but goes as far west as Allentown and as far south as the Cobblestone District. This year's race is a rematch between incumbent Mary Ruth Kapsiak and challenger Bryon McIntyre. In 2010, Kapsiak won the seat by a margin of 211 votes out of 1,142 cast.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin made it abundantly clear during his annual State of the State speech to a joint legislative session last Wednesday night in Charleston that two issues are critical to the future of this state. He wants the 60-day session that began earlier in the day to concentrate on major changes in West Virginia's public schools, and he also wants lawmakers to seriously address this state's crowded prison population problem.
But as he had mentioned earlier, these efforts will come without any increases in taxes. Indeed, state Budget Office Director Mike McKown stole a share of the spotlight earlier in the day when he told reporters at a financial briefing that state government agencies have been told to reduce spending in the upcoming 2013-2014 fiscal year by $75 million. And he said this is being done without laying off or furloughing any state employees.
Two key public education issues the governor wants considered at this session are to require all 55 counties to offer full-day pre-kindergarten to 4-year-olds within three years and make sure all children are reading on grade level at the end of the third grade. He also emphasized the need to make sure all high school graduates are prepared to join the workforce or enter college.
Tomblin was less specific about his program to cope with the overcrowded conditions in the state's prisons and the companion issue of widespread substance abuse that is the major cause of those crowded conditions. He said a report by the Justice Center of the Council on State Governments concluded that "substance abuse is a huge part of prison overcrowding, and the high re-offending rate intensifies the problem."
House Speaker Richard Thompson, D-Wayne, told some 400 people attending the Charleston Area Alliance's annual Issues and Eggs breakfast last Wednesday, prior to the governor's speech to the Legislature that evening, that "we need to find $20 million to $25 million to make substance abuse programs work." And he, too, indicated it can be done without any new taxes.
Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, also spoke at that breakfast. He said he thinks there will be a "real concerted effort to get education reform this session. We've not been getting our education bank for the buck."
But Sen. Erik Wells, D-Kanawha, argues that so long as Delegate Mary Poling, D-Barbour, is chair of the House Education Committee any meaningful reforms in public education are likely to die there. Poling is a veteran educator and as the committee chair, she determines what legislation is taken up for a vote in that committee.
Wells would like to see teachers hired on performance rather than seniority. He said the state needs to get past the idea that teachers should be hired based on years of service instead of ability. He wants to see teachers employed based on ability instead of seniority. The 2012 education efficiency audit recommended this change, but it's generally opposed by teacher unions.
The shift in emphasis by the leaders at West Virginia's four-year and two-year colleges that is now under way is understandable when you look at the numbers. The primary goal had been to get students enrolled at the state's four-year colleges and universities and also at the two-year institutions. But now the push is to get more of these students to complete their higher education studies and graduate with a degree.
The most alarming statistic presented to legislators at a joint House-Senate study committee last week was that while three of every four first-time freshmen returned to four-year colleges in the state in 2011, fewer than half of these students actually completed their studies and received a degree within six years.
Results are even worse at the two-year colleges, where only about one in four of students earned an associate degree or certificate with six years of starting school. Both James Skidmore, head of the Council for Community and Technical College Education, and Paul Hill, chancellor of the state Higher Education Policy Commission, told members of the legislative committee that the colleges need to do a better job of making sure these students complete their studies and earn a degree.
And, of course, there is a financial concern in all these efforts to help students stick it out and earn a college degree. Higher education is supposed to absorb a 7.5 percent cut in the 2013-2014 state budget - an estimated reduction of some $24 million. And West Virginia provided a little less than $4,000 per student at its public four-year colleges for the 2010-2011 school year-second lowest among the 16 states that are part of the Southern Regional Education Board.
The controversial legislation to prohibit landlords and businesses with more than 12 employees from "discriminating against people because of their sexual orientation" is going to be introduced for the fourth straight year at the state legislature. Frank Hartman, the lobbyist for Fairness West Virginia, which is pushing the bill, said recently he is "extremely optimistic" it will pass before the 2013 session ends.
Currently it is legal in West Virginia to fire or evict a person because they are gay or bisexual. Hartman said last week the latest version contains one key change to the proposed new law that would "free church and church-run businesses like hospitals from being required to hire gay or lesbian individuals." The state Senate passed the bill in 2010 and 2011, but both times it died in the House of Delegates. So last year it was decided the legislation should be considered in the House and it died in committee-a fate many lawmakers believe could happen again this year.

Remember when everyone thought Penn State football would be an afterthought for a decade because of the NCAA sanctions?
There's probably no one thinking that anymore.
Not after the NCAA's historic about-face Tuesday in reducing the Nittany Lions' scholarship sanctions.

With the NCAA easing up on scholarship sanctions, Bill O'Brien will have more players to work with next year.
"We can't go to a bowl and can't compete for a championship, but we definitely can get to more of an even playing field numbers-wise," coach Bill O'Brien said.
Instead of worrying every day for four years about how he and his staff would go about the arduous task of running a program with only 65 scholarships, O'Brien now has a very bright light at the end of a very short tunnel.
The Lions will be back up to 75 scholarships next year, 80 in 2015 and up to the full allotment of 85 in 2016.
The sanction limiting them to 65 scholarships for four years? That wasn't even supposed to start until next year, and now it has vanished without ever actually going into effect. (Although the team has barely had more than 65 scholarship players for two seasons now as a byproduct of the sanctions.)
O'Brien was careful Tuesday not to get caught up in celebrating the sanction reduction news. He's in the middle of a season, and while he knows how significant the reductions are, they won't come into play until next year and beyond.
"Today is definitely more about the future, it's about next year and the year after and the year after that," O'Brien said.
O'Brien didn't find out about the NCAA's decision until Tuesday morning, and he planned to discuss it with the team before their afternoon practice.
"We're happy right now for our players, our student-athletes that are here and our football program," the coach said. "They're a resilient bunch of kids.
"We're happy for our people here at Penn State and the people that have worked extremely hard to implement the recommendations of the Freeh report. We're just trying to take it one day at a time and working as hard as we can and continuing every single day to try to do the right thing."
O'Brien said he feels good for several groups of people, including the student body and the fans.
"Our fans, I think they're the best fans in the country. It's a good day for all those people," he said.
Tuesday might turn out to be a bad day for the rest of the teams in the Big Ten, at least as it pertains to their own competitive hopes.
With O'Brien in place - and Tuesday's announcement makes it easier for him to stick around rather than jumping to the NFL - a progressive offense with a dynamic young quarterback in Christian Hackenberg and now the addition of scholarships, it all gives the Lions a chance to remain a major player in the conference instead of having to endure the doldrums that might have come about with only 65 scholarships for four seasons.
Some Big Ten coaches, including Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and Purdue's Darrell Hazell, expressed their support for the NCAA's decision.
"I'm happy for Penn State," Hazell said. "They're able to get themselves in a position where they can help some other players out and not punish some guys that had nothing to do with that tragic happening in the past."
O'Brien said he appreciates the support from other coaches and is not surprised by it.
"There are fantastic coaches in this league," he said. "Like I've said, I have respect for every coach in this league. They are tough guys to coach against and tough guys to recruit against, but they all believe in the common goal of educating the student-athlete and trying to do the best job they can to improve them as football players and as people."
Penn State will have all of its scholarships back much sooner than previously expected, but for now the bowl ban is still in place through 2015. Everyone within the program is hoping that sanction also can be reduced perhaps as early as next season and if that happens, then for all intents and purposes, Penn State would be on an even playing field.
In order to perhaps get the bowl ban reduced, O'Brien said, "We have to keep doing what we're doing, which is working extremely hard to do what's right."

Wonder Bread, Kurt and Talladega .........
As a kid growing up....you just can't make a good PB&J, without Wonderbread.....
Wonder bread will be the primary sponsor of Kurt Busch's #78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet during the Oct. 18-20 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekend at Talladega. Inspired by the motion picture Talladega Nights, the colorful paint scheme on Busch's Chevrolet will have a look similar to the #26 Wonder Bread race car (click here to see the #26 car) in the 2006 movie. The motorsports sponsorship is part of the reintroduction of the Wonder brand, which had been off the market since the bankruptcy of its former owner late last year. Flowers Foods, a leading producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods in the U.S. acquired the Wonder brand in July 2013.
"There is nothing more American than Wonder bread and NASCAR," said Keith Aldredge, Flowers Foods' vice president of marketing. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Kurt Busch and the Furniture Row Racing team to debut the Wonder car at the Talladega Superspeedway. Having such an incredible driver wear the bright colors of Wonder will make for a truly memorable all-American race experience."
"This motorsports partnership definitely carries a special feeling with two American icons coming together Wonder bread and NASCAR at one of America's legendary racetracks," said Busch. "And the sponsorship also has a nostalgic feel for me since Wonder bread was a household staple while growing up in Las Vegas." Busch added, "Talladega is a track that we can win at and a celebration with the Wonder car in Victory Lane will make this partnership even more special."(Furniture Row Racing)(9-26-2013)

To get to the General Mills cereal and flour plant in Buffalo, just follow the smell of toasted Cheerios.
Or, when the plant is offline, drive south on Michigan Avenue and take the lift bridge over the Buffalo River onto Kelly Island.
There you'll find one of the last working grain elevators in Buffalo, standing sentry at a complex that sprawls over 27 acres and produces iconic cereal brands and Gold Medal flour for sale across the Northeast and eastern Canada.
Its continued operation is a manufacturing success story in a city and region that has seen too many factories shut their doors in recent decades.
"I think if you talk to the employees here in the plant they'll tell you we make the best products in the world," David Tincher, a West Virginia native who has served as plant manager for 6½ years, said recently in a rare interview, and tour of the plant. "And we take huge pride in making sure that every time a consumer gets a bowl of Cheerios from Buffalo, it's perfect,"
The oldest structure on the General Mills property, which is bordered by the Buffalo River and the City Ship Canal, dates to 1903, and many of the 400 current plant workers have parents or grandparents who baked cereal and milled flour on the site.
The facility still brings in much of its grain by ship, and it still mills flour and bakes cereal in a process with roots in Buffalo's heyday as a grain market and bustling industrial port.
Though the Buffalo plant must compete with other General Mills facilities, employees say the plant can remain viable as long as it continues to modernize its production system while maintaining a solid safety record and a collaborative relationship with its union workers.
"Our future is within our control," said Tincher, 45, a fourth-generation coal miner who left the mines and entered the food industry after a stint in the Air Force and Air National Guard.
Flour-making began at the General Mills property in 1904, under the Washburn Crosby brand, a name still visible on a soaring chimney stack on the site. The grain elevator is the oldest building still in use, and a trek to the top offers expansive views of downtown Buffalo, north toward Niagara Falls and southwest along the Lake Erie shore.
Construction on the current cereal building began in 1939, but a fire ripped through the structure on Feb. 15, 1940, one week before it was set to open. The fireboat William S. Grattan, now the Edward M. Cotter, poured water on the blaze, which delayed the start of production of CheeriOats until October 1941. It was the world's first, oat-based, ready-to-eat cereal, Tincher said.
Over the years, General Mills has modernized the plant and its production process, with computers and automation taking on tasks previously done by hand. But much remains the same, with grain still brought by rail – or ship from Duluth, Minn. – and stored in a grain elevator for later use.
A family affair
A good portion of the workforce followed their fathers, or grandfathers, to the plant.
Raymond Gottstine worked at General Mills from 1948 to 1994, starting in the mailroom before retiring as a packaging maintenance manager, and regularly regaled his eight children at dinner with descriptions of his work day. He died in 1995.
"My father lived and breathed General Mills," said Ron Gottstine.
The younger Gottstine worked seasonally at the plant in college, cleaning floors and running equipment, and went full time in 1986. He now is a project engineer whose duties include training other workers.
"In Buffalo, I wouldn't want to work anywhere else," said Gottstine, who has two teenage sons. "Hopefully they'll follow in my footsteps, just like I followed in my father's."
Few outsiders have the chance to see the plant that is part of the Gottstines' DNA.
General Mills doesn't offer public tours – there are only about half a dozen spaces in the visitor parking section – and rarely grants the news media access to the Buffalo plant.
"We compete against some of the largest and the best food companies in the world and we keep our playbook close to the vest," said Tincher, who spent more than two hours answering questions but frequently began his responses with some variation on "I can't tell you that."
While General Mills wouldn't reveal every product that is made at the Buffalo facility, Tincher said the plant mills Gold Medal flour and makes Cheerios and Lucky Charms cereal, and cases of Honey Nut Cheerios and Total cereals were spotted stacked in the warehouse.
Tincher said the process for making Cheerios is a simple one "because we have so much science behind it over the years."
He said workers take an oat flour base and mix it into a dough that is cooked and pushed through an extruder.
Without getting into details about the conclusion of the process, he said, "They pop, like popcorn, and that's what makes them a Cheerio."
Technicians closely monitor the density and other attributes of the Cheerios pieces to ensure consistency.
"If the piece weight is off, they know within a matter of minutes," Tincher said.
The plant also has to keep a close eye on the ratio of oat pieces to marshmallow bits, or marbits in company lingo, in every box of Lucky Charms.
There's a code on each box of General Mills cereal, and those made in Buffalo begin with the letters "BU." Employees look for the code when they travel and they scrutinize the cereal aisle whenever they go shopping.
"My wife pretty much refuses to go to the grocery store with me," Tincher said with a laugh.
A quiet contributor
General Mills tries to engage with, and reflect, the community. The company is a major donor to the Food Bank of Western New York, contributing 1,000 cases of cereal each month, and Tincher is a board member.
"They're just so humble about their community work," said Marylou Borowiak, the Food Bank's president and CEO.
Many Buffalonians feel a strong tie to the plant. One local company called Born in Buffalo was inspired enough to design and sell "My city smells like Cheerios" T-shirts. Tincher said he did buy a few of the shirts.
"Almost to a person, when they find out where I work one of the things they say is, 'Oh, thanks, the downtown just smells wonderful because of you guys,' " Tincher said.
Most plant workers are represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union or the International Longshoremen's Association.
The grain millers' union is by far the larger, representing 343 cereal and flour workers, said Tom Bingler, business representative for BCTGM, Local 36G, who worked in the flour mill from 1980 to 2002, when he took a leave to serve the local.
Bingler said employment at the plant in the early 1980s was about double what it is today, and General Mills made a large number of layoffs around 1985, but he said the plant hasn't cut any significant number of jobs since.
This consistent employment at General Mills contrasts with the slow, steady decline of the local manufacturing sector. In October 1990, Erie and Niagara counties had 92,800 manufacturing jobs, accounting for 16.7 percent of the jobs in those counties, according to John Slenker, the state Labor Department's regional economist in Buffalo. By October of this year, the number of manufacturing jobs had fallen to 52,700, which make up just 9.6 percent of jobs.
General Mills, in defying this trend, proves this region and its workforce are well-suited to the advanced manufacturing that predominates today's industrial economy, said Craig Turner, a vice president with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership. "Manufacturing relies on a mindset and a work ethic – something we have here," he said.
Staying around
Making sure the plant is well-positioned to adapt to changing market conditions, or consumer demand, is key to the plant's future, Tincher said.
Automated, driverless vehicles load and unload some cases of cereal in the warehouse, where row after row of cardboard cartons holding boxes of cereal rise dozens of feet high and extend for hundreds of yards into the distance.
The overhead lighting was converted to energy-efficient LED lights, Tincher said. "We're always looking for ways to eliminate losses and eliminate waste," he said.
The General Mills property, which has an assessed value of $10.5 million according to city and county records, receives low-cost power from the New York Power Authority.
Tincher and Turner said the plant is ideally located, accessible to rail and water and convenient to major markets in the Northeast, Ontario and Quebec.
Turner, who has toured the Buffalo plant, said most cereal factories today are built on one level to streamline the production process. The Buffalo plant is "updated, but still antiquated," he said, and it's a sign of the value of the location and the workforce that General Mills has continued to produce cereal and flour here. "It's really a great story," Turner said.
Tincher declined to give specifics on the plant's production levels, but he said if the number of boxes of cereal produced annually were laid end to end, they would circle the globe.
"Cereal, it's a core business for General Mills. As is flour. I'd say, over the last 10 years we've done OK," Tincher said.
The Buffalo plant is a medium-sized General Mills facility. The company employs a set of metrics to measure plant performance, and Tincher said Buffalo tends to rank in the top tier of General Mills properties when compared with its peers. When the plant scores well, each employee gets two free cases of cereal per quarter, Tincher said.
"Buffalo is still a good place to make cereal. It's a good place to make flour. And I believe, if we as a plant here continue to do the right things and make sure that we are competitive and efficient, that we will be a good place long into the future," Tincher said.

Yvonne Baldelli's Remains Found in Panama
To Yvonne Baldelli, 41, of Carlsbad, Calif., who'd recently lost her job at Procter & Gamble, Brimager was the charming musician who gave her a fresh start, whisking her away to a small island in the Bocas Del Toro province of Panama, says the indictment.
But when Baldelli's back was turned, Brimager would e-mail Kristin Werkhoven, 32, of Vista, Calif., who'd given birth to their daughter the previous year, and promise that they'd be together within a few weeks, according to the indictment.
Brimager, 37, resolved this quandary, prosecutors contend in the indictment, by killing Baldelli two days after Thanksgiving, covering his tracks, and then flying back to the United States to be with Werkhoven, whom he married on New Year's Eve.
The alleged plan unraveled after Baldelli failed to attend a family reunion and her family reported her missing in January of 2012. By the time her remains turned up in late August of 2013 in a green, military-style backpack in a Panamanian jungle, U.S. prosecutors had already gathered enough evidence against Brimager back in June to have him jailed without bail.
He faces 11 charges including obstruction of justice and making false statements to officers in connection with Baldelli's disappearance. The indictment doesn't charge Brimager with murder; it would be up to Panama to file such a charge, although the countries could work together to try Brimager in the United States on a murder charge.
Father Speaks OutBaldelli's father tells PEOPLE the recent discovery of her remains marks the end of a long, difficult search, and will hopefully help prompt Panamanian authorities to charge Brimager with murder.
James Faust adds, however, that he still doesn't understand why his daughter had to die. "Someone that evil, I just can't get into his mind," Faust told PEOPLE.
At Brimager's detention hearing in June, U.S. Magistrate Judge William V. Gallo told Brimager, "You have a very conniving, deceptive mind and would stop at almost nothing to cover your tracks."
According to the federal indictment, Brimager fought with Baldelli in the weeks before her death, leaving her with bruises around her eyes and on her arms.
At the same time, he wrote in e-mails to Werkhoven, his mother and a Marine friend that he "was getting bored with life in Bocas" and was planning to return to California. He never mentioned Baldelli in the e-mails.
Prosecutors Present E-Mail EvidenceFederal prosecutors contended at the detention hearing that the fights apparently started after Baldelli found out that Brimager had a child with another woman.
On Nov. 27, 2011, Brimager used Baldelli's laptop to conduct two searches: "washing mattress" and then, "washing mattress blood stain," the indictment says.
Once Baldelli was dead, the indictment says, Brimager got rid of all of her belongings and impersonated her in e-mails to friends and family, writing that she had traveled with another man to Costa Rica.
The indictment says Brimager went so far as to stop off in Costa Rica on his way back to the U.S. and withdraw $200 from Baldelli's bank account to further the ruse that she was alive and living in Costa Rica.
The indictment says Brimager continued the ruse in the U.S., still pretending to be Baldelli and writing e-mails to Baldelli's sister saying she was fine and "missed talking to mom."
Brimager's defense attorney, Brad Patton, could not be reached Friday for a comment. Brimanger has pleaded not guilty to the U.S. charges and is being held without bail.
In the detention hearing in June, Patton said Brimager has an outstanding record as a Marine and was in a stable, non-abusive marriage, and that his wife – who once worked at the White House – had just given birth to their second daughter.
According to The Washington Post, Werkhoven was a Bush Administration correspondence analyst.

The Journal of the American Medical Association releases Adolescent Depression Study
A study appearing in August 18, 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that combining Prozac with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment for adolescent depression. More specifically, this large multi-site, NIMH funded study found that 71% of youth with depression and receiving Prozac and CBT showed substantial improvement, while 61% of those taking Prozac alone showed improvement, 43% of those receiving CBT alone showed improvement and 35% of those receiving placebo (sugar pills) improved.
The study also showed that there are risks for a small subset of youth taking Prozac related to harm to self or others at the same time that the medication combined with CBT and used alone leads to significant improvement in the majority of youth. This shows the critical need for close monitoring of youth taking medication as part of sound clinical practice and the need for increased research on youth depression and other mental illnesses.

Legally Speaking- Too Close For Comfort
By Bob Mionske
I am getting ready for the new season of racing and am planning out my training schedule in preparation for the spring races. My teammate and I want to work on our leg speed and plan to motor-pace behind my car. Can I get a ticket for pacing him like this?
Peter S.
I do not recommend that you motor-pace your friend. But if you insist, I offer the possible legal ramifications as well as some basic pacing advice. This is the classic "do as I say, not as I do" lecture. In fact, when I was racing and training, I wasn't even smart enough to limit my motor-pacing to willing and complicit drivers.
If your friend crashed and the officer just wanted to ruin your day, he could cite you for vehicular assault of a bicyclist. Sound like a stretch? Section 811.060(2)(a) includes within the definition of that offense:
Because "recklessly" is defined the same way as in reckless driving, if the cyclist you are motorpacing bumps into the back of your car and crashes, you could be cited for a Class A misdemeanor and, again, face a possible year in jail, even though you never intended to harm him. Of course, this is all worse case scenario stuff and in all the years my teammates and I motor paced, I don't remember any problems with the police (if readers have been pulled over and ticketed or want to share their motor pacing experiences with the law, please e-mail me).
