One of the men behind a $5.8 million Ponzi scheme is facing new charges of trying to influence U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. just a few weeks before his federal court sentencing.
Federal agents arrested James F. Lagona on Thursday and accused him of "corruptly influencing, obstructing and impeding" the administration of justice.
Lagona, who was found guilty of conspiracy and fraud after a jury trial last year, is now facing allegations that he tried to use political influence, possibly through Hochul's wife, Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, or other local political leaders, to alter his upcoming sentence.
"He's looking at significant prison time in the other case so he's clearly worried about that," James DeMatteo, one of Lagona's defense lawyers, said Friday.
Neither of the Hochuls would comment on the allegations against Lagona, who remains in federal custody while two federal judges decide his fate.
One of the judges, Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny, is handling Lagona's fraud case, while U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh B. Scott is overseeing Lagona's federal detention.
Federal prosecutors maintain Lagona is a flight risk because of the potential for prison time as part of his upcoming sentence.
J.P. Cooney, a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., appeared on the government's behalf Friday but declined to comment on the case. Cooney was brought in because of Hochul's involvement in the case.
DeMatteo said he is still investigating the allegations against Lagona but indicted they do not involve any type of monetary bribe. He also confirmed the possible existence of an audio tape of a conversation involving Lagona.
Lagona, a self-described Christian mystic, psychic, exorcist and bishop with the Western Rite Orthodox Catholic Church, is perhaps best known for his role in running an Amherst-based Ponzi scheme that cheated 90 victims, many of them retirees.
He and fellow defendant Ian Campbell Gent were convicted of fraud after a two-week trial last year and now face up to 20 years in prison.
During the trial, he and Gent argued that they too were victims and both denied knowingly helping Guy Gane and his company, Watermark Financial Services of Amherst.
Gane, whom many believe was the mastermind behind the scheme, eventually pleaded guilty to fraud and money-laundering charges and agreed to testify against Lagona and Gent. Gane was sentenced to 13 years in prison last year.
Prosecutors say Gane cheated customers of Watermark Financial Services by telling them he was investing their money in valuable waterfront real estate in Maine.

Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. It is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Most skin cancers are basal cell cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma is almost always a slow-growing form of skin cancer.
Other common types of skin cancer are:
Basal cell skin cancer; Rodent ulcer; Skin cancer - basal cell; Cancer - skin - basal cell; Nonmelanoma skin cancer; Basal cell NMSC
Basal cell cancer starts in the top layer of the skin called the epidermis. Most basal cell cancers occur on skin that is regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation.
This type of skin cancer is most common in people over age 40. But it can occur in younger people who have had extensive sun exposure.
You are more likely to get basal cell cancer if you have:
Basal cell cancer grows slowly and is usually painless. It may not look that different from your normal skin. You may have a skin bump or growth that is:
In some cases, the skin is just slightly raised or even flat.
You may have:
Your doctor will check your skin and look at the size, shape, color, and texture of any suspicious areas.
If your doctor thinks you might have skin cancer, a piece of skin will be removed. This is called a skin biopsy. The sample is sent to a lab for examination under a microscope.
A skin biopsy must be done to confirm basal cell skin cancer or other skin cancers.
Treatment depends on the size, depth, and location of the skin cancer, and your overall health.
Treatment may involve any of the following:
Most of these cancers are cured when treated early. Some basal cell cancers return. Smaller ones are less likely to come back. Basal cell carcinoma almost never spreads to other parts of the body.
Basal cell skin cancer almost never spreads. But, left untreated, it may grow (spread) into surrounding areas and nearby tissues and bone.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if if you have a sore or spot on your skin that changes in:
Also call if a spot becomes painful or swollen or if it starts to bleed or itch.
The American Cancer Society recommends that a health care provider examine your skin every year if you are older than 40 and every 3 years if you are 20 to 40 years old. You should also examine your own skin once a month.
The best way to prevent skin cancer is to reduce your exposure to sunlight. Always use sunscreen and learn how to protect yourself from the sun.

I found this place the other day Rob:
Any use to you?
Thanks for the link it seems like the Westburry design but not quite there.
This should work:
it does look to be similar to a Howdens Tenby kitchen:
I agree it does look very similar - I've got this in one of my lets.
Howdens are notorious for only letting tradesmen buy from them and they hate selling doors only (without carcass). I would give them a try though - you could always take door back if it was not the one.
I rang up my local and they said they don't supply doors, so I'm probably going to have to find someone in the trade.
How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive? Homer Simpson
Even so MTG they are very whingey (sp?) if you only want to buy doors and keep old carcasses. I don't have an account myself (Howdens let a woman have an account - never!) but two carpenters (male) that work for me report problem if only wanting to order doors.
MTG - I'm not saying it is a crime (your words) but a real annoyance.
I am a woman with an account at Howdens :-)

Outcomes Associated with the Five Competencies
The short-term goals of SEL programs are to: one, promote students' self-awareness, self- management, social-awareness, relationship, and responsible decision-making skills; and two, improve student attitudes and beliefs about self, others, and school.
These, in turn, provide a foundation for better adjustment and academic performance as reflected in more positive social behaviors and peer relationships, fewer conduct problems, less emotional distress, and improved grades and test scores.
There is a growing awareness in the U.S. among educators and policymakers about the importance of social and emotional development for successful student performance in preschool and elementary school. The five sets of SEL competencies are important from very early in life but are especially relevant as children begin to spend time with adults outside the home and to socialize with peers.
Social and emotional skills play a role in determining how well-equipped children will be to meet the demands of the classroom. They also help determine whether students are able to engage fully in learning and benefit from instruction.
Powerful Evidence Supporting the Impact of Enhancing Students' SEL
Research shows that SEL can have a positive impact on school climate and promote a host of academic, social, and emotional benefits for students. Durlak, Weissberg et al.'s recent meta-analysis of 213 rigorous studies of SEL in schools indicates that students receiving quality SEL instruction demonstrated:
- better academic performance: achievement scores an average of 11 percentile points higher than students who did not receive SEL instruction;
- improved attitudes and behaviors: greater motivation to learn, deeper commitment to school, increased time devoted to schoolwork, and better classroom behavior;
- fewer negative behaviors: decreased disruptive class behavior, noncompliance, aggression, delinquent acts, and disciplinary referrals; and
- reduced emotional distress: fewer reports of student depression, anxiety, stress, and social withdrawal.

ELKINS - Possible ramifications to the county's legal system were top of mind for local officials a day after a Randolph County Circuit Court judge admitted to having a relationship with the head of a regional alternative sentencing program.
Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong of the 20th District told The Inter-Mountain Wednesday that she had been involved with Travis Carter, the head of the North Central Community Corrections program.
On Thursday, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker answered the paper's questions about what impact - if any - this relationship could have on existing or future criminal cases.
"I believe that an independent investigation by the Judicial Investigation Commission will address the question of whether actual cases were impacted by the relationship," he said.
"However, a substantial majority of community corrections violations involve the program participant being charged with a new criminal offense or testing positive for controlled substances," Parker added.
Wilfong self-reported the relationship to the JIC, although three other subsequent reports were filed in the matter, the judge said.
Carter was suspended by the Randolph County Commission Oct. 16, initially without pay. The Commission revised its decision Oct. 17, opting to pay Cater during his absence.
At issue, though, are the cases adjudicated by Wilfong that involved sentencing to the tri-county program. In addition to serving as regional director of the program, Carter often was called upon to testify before Wilfong as part of court proceedings for cases involving community corrections.
Parker, however, said because of the nature of the sentences handed down, there may not be that big of an impact.
"If the result of any drug screen is contested by the participant, it is sent to an independent laboratory for verification," he said. "Additionally, prior to any defendant being violated from the North Central Community Corrections Program, they are afforded an opportunity to contest the allegations with representation by a lawyer, which almost always results in the defendant admitting to the allegations."
Despite the legal foundation, appeals of Community Corrections sentencings are expected, which could put a drain on county and court system resources.
The North Central Community Corrections program - started in 2005 - provides offenders structure and guidance so they may make a smooth transition into the community after release from incarceration. The judicial system also has the option of using the program as a community-based alternative sentencing program.
Randolph, Tucker and Pocahontas counties all are part of the system.
The Randolph County Commission has hired outside counsel for guidance in the matter, and the North Central Community Corrections board also is considering a similar move.
The program's finance manager, Erin Golden, has been appointed the acting director during Carter's leave.

Three Randolph County residents named in an eight-count indictment pleaded guilty to methamphetamine-related charges Tuesday in federal court.
Brian Keith Hammer, 52, of Elkins; Shalae Brooke Studer, 21, of Elkins; and Steven B. "Pacco" Miller, 39, of Dryfork pleaded guilty to charges related to the manufacture of methamphetamine stemming from an incident that occurred over June 3-4.
Hammer and Studer each pleaded guilty to one felony count of possession of pseudoephedrine to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine before U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia.
The maximum penalty for possession of pseudoephedrine to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine is up to 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release upon release from prison.
In exchange, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Warner agreed to move to dismiss the remaining charges pending against Studer and Hammer. According to the indictment, Hammer and Studer had each additionally been charged with one felony count of possession of material used in the manufacture of methamphetamine and one felony count of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
During the plea hearings, Randolph County Sheriff Deputy Bradley Sharp testified that on June 3, he had been contacted by Jeff Corley, who reported that his girlfriend, April Kenney, was missing. In an attempt to locate Kenney, Sharp said he pulled into the parking lot of McDonald's in Elkins, where he found Kenney sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle that was being driven by Hammer. Sharp said Studer was sitting in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle.
Sharp searched the vehicle and found Liquid Lightning drain opener, lithium batteries and coffee filters, among other precursors used in the cooking of meth. Upon further investigation, Sharp discovered that Hammer and Studer had purchased pseudoephedrine at Walgreen's within two minutes of one another.
"At 4:22 p.m., Mr. Hammer purchased pseudoephedrine," Sharp testified. "Then, Studer purchased pseudoephedrine at 4:32 p.m. and Hammer returned to Walgreen's at 4:34 p.m. to purchase pseudoephedrine." Sharp said he also searched Studer's purse and car, finding "numerous small plastic baggies," prescription medication, pseudoephedrine-based products and a glass smoking device.
Following Hammer's plea hearing, his attorney, Dorwin Wolfe, said his client's role in the June 3 incident was limited.
"He just agreed to drive them (to Walgreen's)," Wolfe told The Inter-Mountain. "He's not a meth cook. He bought pseudoephedrine once in his life."
Also on Tuesday, Miller pleaded guilty to one felony count of possession of materials used in the manufacture of methamphetamine before U.S. Magistrate John S. Kaull in federal magistrate court. The maximum penalty for possession of materials used in the manufacture of methamphetamine is up to 10 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release upon release from prison.
Sharp testified that following the June 3 incident in the McDonald's parking lot, he drove to the residence of Corley, April Kenney's boyfriend, in the Bowden area to execute a search warrant for precursors of methamphetamine. Sharp said he encountered Miller exiting Corley's residence and subsequently searched him. The deputy reportedly found lithium batteries and coffee filters containing a white residue that later tested positive for methamphetamine on Miller's person.
When Kaull asked Miller if he disagreed with any of Sharp's testimony, Miller said yes, and stated that he was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time." After an apparent disagreement between Miller and his attorney, Brian Kornbrath, Kaull ordered everyone out of the courtroom so the two could consult privately.
Several minutes later, Kaull called court back into session and addressed Miller sternly. Kaull said that after Miller had already taken responsibility for his actions, he then offered the court "basically an excuse."
"You said you were 'in the wrong place at the wrong time,' and implied that you didn't know what was going on," the magistrate said.
"I'm sorry," Miller responded. "I knew everything (precursors of methamphetamine) was there."
Kaull ordered that Miller be released from state custody, pending an inspection of his sister's residence where he plans to reside until his sentencing before Bailey.
"I'm releasing you (from regional jail) basically because there's no reason not to," Kaull said, "but I do so with some concern. You just sat in front of me and tried to minimize your involvement, so if you fall on your face, it will have consequences."
- Also in federal court Tuesday, Archie Ray Arbogast, 36, of Dunmore, pleaded guilty to one felony count of possession of materials used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Arbogast eluded authorities for 15 days following a Sept. 10 traffic stop, escaping police custody while wearing handcuffs. He was arrested Sept. 25 in Dailey after police found various materials typically used to make meth - including lithium batteries, rubber tubing and 14 capsules of Claritin D24 Hours - in two backpacks that belonged to Arbogast.

Wheelchair-bound man dead in Oklahoma City house fire
Firefighters called to home at NE 20th, Bath Avenue
A house fire kills a wheelchair-bound man in northeast Oklahoma City.
Llyod Brunson, 84, lived alone and used a wheelchair. A neighbor spotted the fire about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and called 911.
The good Samaritan tried to help get Brunson out of the house, but said the flames were too intense. There were iron bars on the windows intended to keep criminals out, but investigators say it made the rescue difficult.
"He tried to go in to see if he could help save him, but the heat was too extreme," said witness Jennifer Newcomb. "He couldn't get in the door and they were holding him back."
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire, but they suspect it was a space heater.

Softball Earns 2-0 Win Over UT Martin In Day Cap
WOODSTOCK, Ga. - - Freshman pitcher Nicole Steinbach threw a complete game shutout in her collegiate debut to lift the Ball State softball team to a 2-0 win over UT Martin in its second game of the KSU Classic Saturday afternoon.
After the Cardinals exploded for 15 runs and 13 hits in its season-opening 15-5 victory over IUPUI Saturday morning, Steinbach's strong performance in the circle allowed Ball State to complete its opening day sweep.
In seven innings of work, Steinbach scattered three hits and struck out five batters. She allowed just one base runner after the fourth inning, but was able to spark an inning-ending double play in the sixth to face the minimum nine batters over the final three frames.
At the plate, the Cardinals did not get their first hit until the bottom of the fourth inning when junior third baseman Audrey Bickel launched a solo home run down the right field line to score what proved to be the winning run.
Ball State added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth thanks to an RBI single up the middle and off the UT Martin pitcher's glove from junior first baseman Taylor Rager. Junior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert scored on the play after reaching base on a single to right field and advancing to third with the help of a pair of wild pitches.
Sophomore right fielder Hanne Stuedemann also collected a single to lead off the sixth.
Casey Vincent suffered the loss in the circle for UT Martin despite limiting Ball State's offense to just four hits and two earned runs. Vincent also managed to strikeout nine Cardinals in the game.The Ball State softball team closes play in the 2013 KSU Classic hosted by Kennessaw State tomorrow with games versus Tennessee Tech (10:30 a.m.) and Eastern Kentucky (1 p.m.).

The scientific study of understanding people, with all of their complex behaviors and mental processes, the discipline of psychology examines behavior that is evil at one extreme and altruistic at the other, attempting to explain both the serial killer and the saint. What environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors decide which direction a baby will someday go? At the same time, those who study psychology ask how it can be used to solve human problems, both on an individual level ("know thyself") and on a global level.
Students who study psychology are well prepared for a wide range of careers. Graduates may run a group home, work for an organization that supervises individuals with emotional disabilities, or pursue careers in human resources or employment counseling. The degree also provides excellent preparation for many other professions. Many find jobs in public affairs, administrative support, business, sales, and service industries.
Psychology majors are required to complete, with a grade of "C" or better, the following courses:
Psychology majors must also complete MATH 105, MATH 108, or MATH 110 with a grade of "C" or better and fulfill the social science core requirement by taking one course in sociology, one in economics, and one in political science/anthropology.
For psychology pre-physical therapy or pre-occupational therapy majors
Psychology majors in the interdisciplinary pre-physical therapy or pre-occupational therapy programs must complete at least 78 hours of courses, including the following:
Note that the Natural Science core is fulfilled by this program's requirements.
Students pursuing graduate school should take the following classes: PSYC 220 (Personality), PSYC 300 (Abnormal Psychology), and PSYC 391 (Topics: Tests and Measurement).
A minor in psychology consists of a program of courses totaling at least 21 hours with a grade of "C" or better, submitted to and approved by the department chair, that includes at least 12 hours at the 200 level or above, of which at least three hours must be at the 300-level. PSYC 150, PSYC 251, and PSYC 351 may not be included for the minor.
The Department also offers minors in Life Span Services and Social Work, both of which may be of interest to students who wish to study psychology.

A Letter to the Editor in the 10/31/06 Tomahawk Leader
To the Editor:
To marry, not to marry–who do you marry? Wisconsin citizens will be voting on the Wisconsin Marriage Amendment on Nov. 7. A very critical responsibility for our state. Have you done your research on comments made by those working so hard, spending millions of dollars to defeat this amendment? You need to check this one out before voting Nov. 7. For instance:
In the most recent issue of the Advocate, the newspaper of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging groups, they refer to a group Fair Wisconsin. If you are computer savvy, look this one up and read where they come from and who all is involved in encouraging all seniors in Wisconsin to defeat this amendment. The article is appalling, full of scare tactics and just plain untruthful in content. To convince a populace, if this amendment were to pass, that by "cohabitating" instead of being married they could lose all their benefits, or that it would create many legal expenses by being tied up in the court system has even been refuted by our own Attorney General Lautenschlager. (Who by the way is against this amendment personally).
If you receive the AARP bulletin for October 2006, their comment reads that cohabitating couples are on the increase and this is to protect their individual estates to be handled as they so desire to their heirs. Who is right? You are if you stop and think … therefore, all I ask of you, who believe this is nonsense, is to stop and really think about your own situation compared to what you are hearing in the media – do you have your paperwork done? As it relates to: wills, pensions, dispersal of your assets and estate, durable powers of attorney for health care (refutes their comment about hospital visitations and/or making decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated) – these are things any citizen can do and should do. You have the right to indicate everything as you want your estate to be handled, your hospital visitations, your health in case of incapacity and more. Have you got your paperwork done? The Wisconsin Marriage Amendment does not ban nor threaten existing or future benefit arrangements for unmarried Wisconsin couples. (As even clarified by the Attorney General Lautenschlager). There are just too many scare tactics and lies being presented in this issue because the stakes are high for the homosexual community particularly.
They also are no different than you and I for getting their paperwork done either. Why do so many individuals consider living together and not remarrying? – You know why, and it is to protect your estate for your heirs as well as keeping benefits you know are better in most cases individually. This is not an endorsement for cohabitating outside of marriage as each couple (male and female) must make decisions to their best interests. This is an endorsement to get out and vote yes for Wisconsin Marriage Amendment on Nov. 7. It has much more far reaching consequences than catering to the whims of one special interest group using false notions to defeat such an important piece of legislation. The iceberg is getting very slippery, let's not be so naïve to believe that we want to get on the sled. Think about it.

An Introduction to Electronic Field Trips(for teachers new to the concept)
Written by Scott Coletti, Middle School teacher
Crittenden Middle School, Mtn.View, CA.
Please send suggestions or comments to email@example.com
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLEWhen asked what I could contribute to the Live From field trips, I immediately thought of the first-time teachers struggling, as I had, to integrate cyberspace into their classroom environments. My goal here is to produce a document that will assist beginners in handling their first electronic field trip.
WHO? - HELLO, BEGINNERS!This document is designed for the first-timer, beginner, newbie, never-been-there- nor- done-that participant of an electronic field trip. You are involved in education, down on the ground, in the classroom, whether as a student, parent, teacher, community and/or business volunteer. I speak to educators for mechanical convenience in the production of this document, but everyone is encouraged to come along on a trip of discovery making learning powerful and alive.
PREREQUISITESThis document will provide hands-on activities and resources that the beginner can order or access right away. The prescribed actions assume ready and easy access to the Internet. People not yet using the Internet can take advantage, now, of this type of educational opportunity. This can be accomplished with ready and easy access to the following resources: phone, VCR, TV, Fax, snail mail and/or Fed X-type carriers.
Of course, a functional and practical understanding of your particular technology tool set is needed. Taking on a new educational technology is not the occasion to be learning many new skills at the same time, unless, of course, you do not also have a life.
PERSONAL ADOPTION OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION AS A WAY OF LIFEInstitutions rhetorically endorse technology in education. But at this time, down in the classroom, the teacher is getting little support. At this point in time most of what I do is done on my own time. The odd stipend finds its way to my checkbook, but that is an exception. To wit, the activity of running an electronic field trip in the classroom is part of a teachers personal adoption of technology in education, a fact of life that defines you as an innovator in your school, district, region, state or country.

Jennifer Lawrence and her British boyfriend Nicholas Hoult walked the dark gray carpet separately Saturday at the global premiere of X-Men: Days of Future Past in New York City.
But that didn't stop the actress from paying tribute to her man.
Working with Hoult on the movie, in theaters May 23, was "great! Obviously," Lawrence told PEOPLE. "He's a fantastic actor, wonderful costar, great roommate."
The Oscar-winner, 23, stunned in a shimmery, floor-length blue Jason Wu dress – a nod to her blue-hued mutant character Mystique, perhaps? – while Hoult, 24, suited up and opted for a blue tie as they worked opposite ends of the carpet.
Hoult recently expanded on that sentiment, saying, "It's fun because in this business you are away from one another for long periods of time, so when you're on set together it's a brilliant thing, because you actually get to spend time together."
Lawrence also raved about working with a cast featuring the likes of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, Ellen Page and Halle Berry.
"It was really exciting because this was the best cast ever," Lawrence said.
A fan favorite, Lawrence – who wore her shorter blonde hair twisted back tightly – interacted with the crowd as they screamed her name over and over from the sidelines. She then walked the carpet, stopping at one point to go straight to a woman in a wheelchair to sign her poster.

After making a decision 3 1/2 years ago to follow a healthier diet, Wendy Welly now is offering a menu of vegan and vegetarian items at her restaurant in Tiffin, Phoebe's Healthier Options.
Welly said her change to a vegan/vegetarian diet brought about numerous changes in her life, and opening Phoebe's has enabled her to share "that there are healthier foods out there."
After embracing the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, she said, she lost weight, had a clearer complexion and generally felt better. She said her husband also began to eat vegan/vegetarian foods and saw a decrease in his cholesterol.
"When you decrease animal products," Welly said, "you notice health benefits."
Eating a vegan/vegetarian diet, she said, means foods are gluten-free, non-dairy and free from animals fats.
In accordance with those guidelines, she said, Phoebe's menu includes wraps, pasta, rice, smoothies, soups and more. A children's menu also is available, Welly said.
Welly said she is thinking about expanding the menu, and possibly adding daily specials and desserts, as well as punch cards for frequent customers. That expansion, she said, likely will happen after she finishes fully training Phoebe's staff in vegan/vegetarian food planning and preparation.
Welly said many of the recipes and foods at Phoebe's have been dishes she has created, and others have come from online recipes she has tailored to make her own.
Bringing those creations from her kitchen to a restaurant menu, she said, was "a heck of a jump."
Phoebe's opened in April, Welly said, and serves a diverse group of customers. Many people, she said, originally tried Phoebe's out of curiosity and now are regular customers who enjoy the menu of healthier options.
Phoebe's is at 138 S. Washington St., and Welly said she chose the downtown location for its convenience and because she likes the "old style of the inside." The restaurant offers dine-in, carry-out and call-ahead service, and prices begin at $6.50. A variety of packaged, storefront items also are available for those living the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle at home.
Phoebe's is open 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. Welly said she is considering adding evening hours one night a week. The restaurant also is open during special events, she said, such as farmers
Welly said a website is being created for the restaurant. Now, she said, information about Phoebe's can be found on Facebook. A ribbon-cutting is planned for 11:30 a.m. Friday.

What started as an unpleasant encounter between a family and a few kitesurfers at Kanaha Beach Park last month has escalated to a feud that has been a center of heated debate on local and social media outlets.
Last week, an officer from the state Department of Land and Natural Resources was dispatched to Ka'a Point to respond to the family's latest complaint about reckless kitesurfers who ventured too close to their 4-year-old son while he was playing in a protected pond area designated "for swimming only."
The dispute between the family and kitesurfers began April 13 under similar circumstances at Ka'a Point on Maui's north shore, according to a letter Philip Bolek wrote and sent to media outlets as well as DLNR officials. Bolek said his son was playing in a protected "fishpond" area when a kitesurfer "came into the pond at high rates of speed nearly hitting my son." When Bolek and his wife confronted the kiter, the couple were allegedly "threatened and harassed."

The western end of Kanaha Beach Park has become so popular for kitesurfing that it has been nicknamed Kite Beach. However, some say the kitesurfers venture too close to "swimming only" areas and jeopardize the safety of other beachgoers.

The protected "fishpond" area has been designated by the state "for swimming only," but kitesurfers say that sometimes it is the only area where they can launch and land with their kitesurfing gear.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Bolek called nearby lifeguards as well as DLNR, who told him that the area was a designated "swim zone," but nothing was done to deter the kitesurfers. In the following weeks, "hostile" confrontations between the Boleks and kitesurfers continued.
State officials will start enforcing "swim zone rules" at the beach, said DLNR spokeswoman Deborah Ward in an email to The Maui News last week.
A portion of Chapter 13 in the Hawaii Administrative Rules designates the protected area "for swimming only," said Ward, and state law mandates "no person shall operate a vessel or sailboard in these zones."
Kiteboards are classified as "a vessel or sailboard," said Ward, despite many kitesurfers who dispute that.
However, she also conceded that the zoning designations were drafted in 1988 to address concerns between swimmers and windsurfers, while kitesurfing did not become a popular sport on Maui until more recently, around 1998. Now, the western end of Kanaha Beach Park, nicknamed Kite Beach, has become internationally recognized as one of the best beaches for the sport.
While Ward did not provide any specific resolutions or planned actions, she said that "swim zone areas and rules will be enforced." The DLNR's Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation will be meeting with the department's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement to discuss outreach and enforcement efforts "as soon as possible."
But kitesurfers, or kiters, say that this "swim zone" is the only spot on the beach that they can safely launch and land when there are offshore winds.
"The wind dictates where we can go, it's not like we have designated areas for launching and landing," said Maui Kitesurfing Community President Joel Richman, who has been kiting at Kanaha Beach for more than 10 years. "If you try to come in downwind to the pond, your kite will fall in the water, and then you have to swim to shore or walk up on the beach from very far down with all your gear. . . . It's really difficult."
Kiters usually go back out to sea if they see people in the pond, and wait for the area to clear out before coming in, Richman added.
The 66-year-old kitesurfer said that in more than 40 years of visiting that beach, he has never seen or heard of any reported accidents or injuries caused by kitesurfers trying to launch or land their kites in the pond area.
Most kiters are people who respect and take care of the area, Richman said. After the 2011 tsunami, many kitesurfers donated picnic tables and volunteered to clean up the beach, he said.
"It's about family, respect, peace, recreation, we just want to get along," he said. "I don't kite for bad vibes or to get in fights, we (kiters) are a valuable member of the Maui community, and we deserve a spot to do what we love."
Other kiters argue that they have been able to share the beach with other fishermen, paddlers and beachgoers for many years, and should find a way to continue sharing use of the area.
"Yes, that is a swim zone but swim zones have always been adapted to the public use, and we haven't had any complaints in the past 12 years people have been kiting there," said Steve Sadler, director for Maui Kitesurfing Community. He added that the area in which kitesurfers use to come in is farther away from the beach, a deep, rocky area not usually used by young children.
In light of the Boleks' concerns, members from the Maui Kitesurfing Community put up a sign recently that reads: "No kiting in pond when swimmers are present."
Richman said he hopes that this will be enough to satisfy the Boleks, who he said are the only people who have called the DLNR to complain about kitesurfers.
"If they don't like being around kiters, they could go to any other spot on the north shore," said Richman. "There's lots of beaches for people to swim, but there's very limited places we can kitesurf."

It seems inevitable that human whole-genome sequencing will dramatically change the practice of healthcare in the next decade. Early disease detection and personalized and directed healthcare interventions are just a few areas where genomic sequencing technology may have a clear value proposition.
But if clinical application of genome sequencing is to become a reality, we still need to reach several milestones. We need to demonstrate that whole-genome sequencing truly has a potential to save both lives and reduce healthcare costs. We need to improve the diagnostic quality and drastically reduce the costs of informatics analysis. We need to develop a regulatory environment similar to what is currently experienced by clinical labs. And we need to enhance the education of all healthcare professionals and generate greater awareness among future users. It feels like a long way to go. Or is it?
A tremendous amount of pilot work is already being done, radically transforming current mechanisms for translating genomic advances into improved healthcare. The contributors to this article describe the pioneering research they are pursuing and how it is bridging genomics and medicine to bring about the rational use of genomics technology in clinical practice.
"Are we ready to use genomic information to change our lifestyles or seek additional medical care?" asks Joseph Jarvis, Ph.D., senior research scientist, Coriell Institute for Medical Research. "The application of the clinical genome is only as valuable as our willingness to use it for healthcare decisions."
Dr. Jarvis concentrates his efforts on the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC), which aims to answer how best to deliver genetic risk information to users.
More than 7,500 individuals are grouped into the CPMC' s four longitudinal cohorts, including a segment representing the United States Air Force Medical Service, an elite organization eager to learn more about the clinical utility of genetic information. Air Force staff recognized the promise of genome sequencing and engaged Coriell in a train-the-trainer capacity in anticipation of a genome-informed health model.
Participants receive the results of their genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms presented in the context of their medical and personal history. "We focus on SNP genotyping," adds Dr. Jarvis, "because whole-genome data is too difficult to interpret and present to the user in an actionable format."
Coriell completes genotyping with Affymetrix technology (the Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 and DMET Plus chips), and it generates reports for presentation to users.
These reports, which detail well-replicated clinical associations, combine genetic and nongenetic risk assessments in an easy-to-read, web-based format. This presentation represents CPMC's attempt to combine information over which the participants have full control (lifestyle choices) with inherent data (genetics and family history). Enrollees have a choice of whether or not to view reports for a particular disease association.
"One of the study outcomes is to evaluate how the users act on this information," says Dr. Jarvis. "Opting out from viewing it is also an outcome." The majority of participants, however, choose to view the results, and some act on information by seeking additional disease-specific testing.
Sharing results with treating physicians is one of the desirable outcomes sought by the CPMC, and the CPMC project uses the opportunity to outline teaching techniques and encourage doctors to incorporate genetic information at the point of care.
A recent Coriell spin-off venture, Coriell Life Sciences, will employ lessons learned from the CPMC project and optimize the doctor-patient exchange by integrating the storage, interpretation, and delivery of genomic information.
Rapid advances in DNA sequencing technologies have the potential to inform current and future medical care. To facilitate the broad clinical implementation of next-generation sequencing, it is critically important for genomic medicine to acquire the typical characteristics of clinical diagnostics, including clinical-grade sample collection, high-quality sequencing, and rigorous generation of variant calling.
While the sequencing process itself is by now fairly standardized, the bioinformatic analysis and interpretive schemes are quite variable.
Gholson Lyon, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of human genetics at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), highlighted these differences in the interpretation of sequencing data by comparing five different alignment and variant calling software packages.
Calling of common variants (found in over 1% of population) was relatively consistent. However, software packages called rare mutations with different accuracy. Insertions and deletions (collectively termed "indels") presented considerable difficulty to all software packages. The position of indels is often ambiguous, and their calling could affect the outcome of clinical diagnosis.
"Indels are an integral part of structural variant analysis," says Dr. Lyon. "But development of indel-calling tools has been lagging." To address this issue, Dr. Lyon is working with Michael Schatz, Ph.D., assistant professor of quantitative biology at CSHL, who is developing and validating novel indel mapping strategies.
Dr. Lyon also suggests that de novo identification of family-inherited mutations could be significantly improved by including multiple family members in the sequencing efforts. Sequencing multigenerational pedigrees enables increased accuracy simply because the same region is now read multiple times.
"Millions of genomes should be collated to truly understand what mutations really mean," says Dr. Lyon. "Collaborative wiki-type annotation of variants will accelerate our understanding of phenotype-genotype relationships. The future of clinical genomics is based on the collective input of the world-wide community of scientists."

For every band or fashion that's generated controversy and polarization for ascending from the punk rock underground to mainstream cultural consciousness, Green Day's the most successful on all fronts. So, OK, maybe they are the Alpha and Omega of punk poseurdom.
However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries from the '90s alterna-boom, Green Day continues to attract new fans. That's why they are headlining their own arena tour instead of phoning in a set of nearly 20-year-old crowd-pleasers on the Warped Tour.
Not only that, but as he displayed last night, front-man and co-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong is one of the few leading men with the awareness to address a Comcast Center crowd as his "crazy friends from New England." Why do so many other performers assume Mansfield and Boston are the same place?

Buddy Nix went on his weekly WGR radio show last Friday, the day after his 73rd birthday, and assured Bills fans that his team is making progress.
"I really do think we're better," the general manager said. "In fact, I know we're better. The sad thing is, the record don't show it."
Yeah, that darn record thing. When you're trying to spin mediocrity into gold, those small, inconvenient details get in the way. But after 12 years of this, you can't blame the Bills for trying to sell progress, however flimsy.
The Bills are 5-7. They were 5-7 at this stage a year ago. This makes 12 straight years without a winning record after 12 games. Even Nix must understand how fans might fail to see it as a significant step forward.
Their five wins have come against teams with an aggregate record of 19-41. All five are currently last in their divisions (Miami on tiebreakers). It's too bad they don't play the Eagles, Lions and Panthers. They could run the table on the league's bottom-feeders!
OK, they've won two out of three. The defense has played better. Still, none of the five quarterbacks the Bills have beaten (Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden, John Skelton, Ryan Tannehill, Chad Henne) is ranked above 30th in quarterback rating. Henne hasn't played enough to be ranked.
In fact, if you toss in their last two wins of 2011, against teams led by Tim Tebow and the forgettable John Beck, the Bills haven't won a game against a quarterback ranked above 28th in well over a year.
So you'll forgive me if I'm not bowled over by their recent run of exemplary defense. Yes, Mario Williams has finally made an impact. He's piling up sacks and playing on the level of Aaron Schobel in one of his good years.
But you know what would be nice? If they actually did it against a good team, or at least a team that's not in last place. I'm not asking for the '74 Steelers, but how about proving something against a team that's truly on the rise, a hungry foe that's looking to get into the playoff hunt?
Like, say, the Rams.
You want to talk progress? St. Louis has been bad for nearly a decade. They haven't had a winning record since 2003, a year longer than the Bills. They might have been the worst team in the NFL a year ago. They went 2-14 and scored 193 points the entire season.
They decided to get creative about it. First they hired Jeff Fisher, a proven head coach who had built the Oilers/Titans into a perennial contender at a young age. A month later, they brought in Les Snead, a young general manager who had been working in personnel for the Falcons.
Snead and Fisher went to work rebuilding the Rams roster. Snead traded the second pick of the draft to Washington, which took Robert Griffin III. In return, the Rams got the Redskins' first- and second-round picks (Nos. 6 and 39 overall), plus the 'Skins' first in 2013 and 2014.
The Rams then wheeled the No. 6 overall pick for the Cowboys' first- and second-rounders (Nos. 14 and 45 overall). At 14th overall, they drafted LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers, who had the best game of his rookie season last week in an overtime win over the 49ers.
Oh, and Snead used the 39th overall pick he got from Washington on cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who has scored three defensive touchdowns for the Rams during their current two-game winning streak.
Snead, 41, took wide receiver Chris Givens with the first pick of the fourth round – well after the Bills moved up to get T.J. Graham. Givens has 33 catches for a 16.9 average, third-best in the NFC. Last week, he had 11 catches against the Niners.
In the sixth round, the Rams took kicker Greg Zuerlein, who has kicked seven field goals of 50 yards or more this season, including a 60-yarder.
Evidently, Fisher has more confidence in a rookie than Chan Gailey has in Rian Lindell.
One more: Snead took running back Daryl Richardson with the next-to-last pick of the draft. Richardson has 457 yards rushing and a 5.4 average per carry – third in the league among running backs with at least 80 carries, behind C.J. Spiller and Adrian Peterson.
Snead worked for 13 years as Atlanta's personnel man. He engineered the Falcons' draft-day trade for Julio Jones. He's the type of rising star that I wanted the Bills to consider a few years ago – before Ralph Wilson anointed Nix because he didn't know those other guys.
Fisher, who took over the Oilers at age 36, has a career record of 152-133, counting playoffs. He's 20th in career wins, two behind Marv Levy. He built the Oilers/Titans into a winner and stayed 16 years. As I said four years ago, Fisher has a "time-tested football vision," something the Bills have been lacking for over a decade.
The Rams probably aren't ready to contend yet. But they're a dangerous underdog today, a surging young team looking to get to .500 and remain no worse than one game back of the final playoff spot in the NFC in the loss column.
In Sam Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft in 2010, the Rams have a franchise quarterback who is finding his way. Bradford had a big game in a win over Griffin and the Redskins. In two games against the mighty Niners defense, he completed 67 percent of his passes and didn't throw an interception.
So the Rams have a rising quarterback, a top running back in Steven Jackson, and a seasoned coach in Fisher. I've seen a lot of average teams come to Orchard Park late in a season and play as if they'd rather be elsewhere.
That's not likely to happen with Fisher – who was the opposing head coach the last time the Bills appeared in a playoff game – in charge.
"To me, it's a great challenge," Fisher said via conference call. "It's a test of will. The weather's not going to be ideal. You find out a lot about yourselves. Good teams at this time of the year have to run the football and stop the run in order to be successful. They have to do that outside in the inclement weather, after the leaves have changed. They're down and wet. You want me to keep going? Yeah, we're looking forward to this one."
If the Rams win a third straight game and get to .500, the playoff talk will heat up. People will wonder if the rebuilding is ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, it will be a troubling sign if the Bills can't beat the Rams at home in a year in which they were expected to be contenders.
It wouldn't qualify as a signature win, but beating the Rams would at least be an encouraging sign in a disappointing season. Still, look at the franchises. The Rams have the proven coach, the hot young GM, the franchise quarterback, a stable of hot rookies.
They also have an owner, Stan Kroenke, who was recently profiled in Sports Illustrated as "the most powerful owner in sports."
You tell me which team is making true progress.

Dissolving Localities | Berkeley Jerusalem
A multimedia project by Emmanuel Witzthum
On view:Sunday, January 22, 2012 - Friday, June 29, 2012
Emmanuel Witzthum's multimedia project, Dissolving Localities, has focused for the last several years on the layers that compose the city of Jerusalem. Witzhum and the artists he invited "perform" the city as a musical/visual instrument. By interweaving recorded sights and sounds, ranging from birds' songs to street noise, from prayer fragments to church bells, the project creates an expanding open-source multimedia montage, highlighting contrasts and unexpected harmonies.
As an artist-in-residence at UC Berkeley, Witzthum will extend the Jerusalem-based project, and build an expanding dialogue between Jerusalem, his hometown, and Berkeley, where he resided during the Spring of 2012.
—Francesco Spagnolo, Curator
Emmanuel Witzthum is a composer, violist, installation artist, and lecturer. He served as director of Ha-ma'abadah (The Lab) in Jerusalem, a venue for experimental theater, dance, and music, and as musical advisor to the Israel Festival, the premier festival for the arts in Israel. Mr. Witzthum will be a Resident Fellow at the Townsend Center for the Humanities at UC Berkeley in the Spring of 2012. He will be hosted by the Department of Music and The Magnes. His residency is made possible in collaboration with the Schusterman Family Foundation's Visiting Artist program.

"We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate," his rep said in a statement. "We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss."
The cause of death was not immediately apparent, and an autopsy was set for Monday. Police said there were no indications of foul play but would not discuss what, if anything, was found in room.
In April, the actor was released from a rehab facility for substance abuse. He had admitted himself to the facility.
According to police, Monteith was out Friday night with friends and returned to his 21st floor room in the early morning hours.
"There were others with Mr. Monteith in his room earlier [Friday] night, but video and fob key entries show him returning to his room by himself in the early morning hours and we believe he was alone when he died," said Acting Police Chief Doug LePard.
Monteith had checked in July 6. He was due to check out Saturday.
"When he missed his check-out time, staff went to the room at noon and found his body," said LePard.
It was also said that he had been dead for several hours by the time his body was discovered.
"We know there will be considerable interest in this case, and we have detectives assigned to the case who attended with our Forensic Identification Unit to examine the scene, to ensure to the extent possible that there are no unanswered questions," said the acting chief.
"Hotel video has been secured as well as room access records. Our investigators have spoken with hotel staff, who are providing the utmost in cooperation."
LePard added: "On behalf of the Vancouver Police, I want to pass on our condolences to the family, friends, castmates and millions of fans of Mr. Monteith. As was the case in countless homes, I watched Glee regularly with my daughters, and I know there will be shock and sadness in many households with the news of his tragic death."
Born in Calgary, Monteith began his acting career in Vancouver, and was cast as Finn Hudson on the FOX musical series when it debuted in 2009.
With reporting by ELAINE ARADILLAS and ELIZABETH LEONARD
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

Just 11 miles from the Ravenel Bridge lies Wild Dunes Resort on the north-eastern tip of the Isle of Palms. Two distinctly different golf courses are here, the Links Course and the Harbor Course. This week I had the pleasure of touring the Harbor Course.
Along the beginning holes are the first of numerous lagoons and ponds that line the course. Along the banks turtles and alligators sunbathe as heron wade by in search of a meal. Two islands each bear a single large oak tree whose branches are laden with dozens of egret, ibis and cormorant. Fish routinely jump, their oxygen supply ample from numerous fountains circulating the waters.
The course passes through numerous small neighborhoods, each with its own unique look and personality. Passing the IOP Marina, the course heads through the tidal flats out to the coastal estuary. Then the majority of the lengths of holes 9 through 18 run back to the clubhouse along the Intracoastal Waterway, overlooking Goat Island and the tidal marshes with Mount Pleasant distant on the horizon. There is an intimate feel to the course as it makes each subtle shift from the resort area's swimming pool and tennis courts to the marine environment and back again.
Overlooking the 17th fairway I stand on Finch Bridge atop Morgan Creek talking with Helen Finch, whose father Raymond developed the land with the help of golf course designer Tom Fazio. One childhood memory, before the land was developed, was moving into a cabana that would sway if the washing machine was un-balanced. But more-so she remembers the countless hours of discussions between her father and Fazio as to how the many elements of the land could both be preserved and enjoyed by all those to follow.
Compared with the neighboring Links Course, the harbor course has a much more relaxed and intimate feel. Says Director of Sports and Golf Jeff Minton: "The Harbor Course has been a long time favorite for resort guests, members and local area golfers for years.
The par 70 lay-out with six par 3's will test the shot making skills of all levels of players. The Harbor Course is unique in that the first nine holes all play away from the clubhouse and the back nine all play back towards the clubhouse, which presents a challenge to players based on the direction the wind is blowing on that particular day.
The course is open to Charleston area residents, and will not disappoint if a few peaceful hours of golf away from the daily grind is what you desire.
