These off-campus half-day events, hosted a few times a year, give students the opportunity to explore a particular industry. Students who attend learn invaluable information about the industries, networking, and landing career-related experience from a diverse group of participating alumni. Past Career Explos have been hosted in NYC and have featured industries such as finance, education, communications, film and television, and publishing.
These lunches, hosted every couple weeks, provide an opportunity to learn from a panel of fellow students. The student speakers summarize their experience, provide insight into how they got started, and give tips and strategies for the industry in which they interned. Past topics have included education, sciences, finance, government, public health, communications, nonprofit, and business.
This half-day on-campus program is offered in September to give sophomores a jump start on planning for their future. At the conference-style event, students connect with Career Center staff, hear a keynote address, and attend two workshop sessions of their choice, focusing on career exploration, networking, resume writing and obtaining career-related experience.
Held several times throughout the year, this three part series of 75 minute long workshops is aimed at sophomores who are beginning career exploration and want to learn more about how to conduct an effective internship/CRE search. Participants must attend all three sessions, which consist of Exploring Careers 101, Networking 101, and Career-Related Experience 101.
This social event gives first years a chance to meet our Peer Advisors and Presenters, sign up for workshops or appointments, and learn more about how they can work with the Career Center during their first year and beyond. Come by for delicious smoothie samples and get a chance to win a Euphoria gift card!
In addition, the Career Center collaborates with other offices to host Career Speakers and Panels periodically throughout the year.

Virgin Australia operates flights to the Cook Islands' largest island, Rarotonga, via Auckland.
Rarotonga Airport Information
Rarotonga International Airport is located on the northeast coast of Rarotonga, within easy reach of the rest of the island. The airport can be accessed by various transport options, including:
- Car Hire: Several hire car companies operate a reception desk in the arrivals area of the terminal.
- Taxi: A taxi rank is located outside the arrivals area of the terminal.
- Bus transfer: Several bus companies provide meet-and-greet services and hotel coach transfers, to and from all international flights.
- Public transport: Cooks Buses operate a round-the-island public bus service which passes by the airport every 30 minutes.
Things to do in the Cook Islands
Postcard perfect, the Cook Islands is a jewel in the South Pacific's crown. Lagoons teem with technicolour tropical fish, limestone caves funnel into mountains, while lush green foliage carpets the group's 15 atolls. Villages, beaches, paw paw patches, and fields of taro, mango and bananas abound in the Cooks and paint a stunning picture of island life. The Cook Islands' largest island, Rarotonga is its tourism hub. Fringed by satin-white sand, swaying palms and a coral reef, Rarotonga has a relaxed ambience and serves as an ideal holiday getaway.
Scattered over a vast expanse of empty ocean the size of Western Europe, the tiny Cook Islands are a castaway's dream come true. Experience thousands of years of Polynesian culture amid a setting of immense natural beauty. Explore Rarotonga's intriguing landscape of mountains, jungle and pure white sand beaches. Meet friendly locals and learn the ancient craft of canoe carving – where traditional vakas are carved from massive tree trunks into unique designs individual to each island. Purchase homewares, jewellery, clothing, and authentic souvenirs from Muri Beach village. Or wander the Te Punanga Nui market to browse bountiful produce, flowers, and craftwork, and sample local delicacies fresh from the grill.
Shopping in the Cook Islands is a relaxed and friendly experience. Crafts, homewares, jewellery clothing, gifts, and art can be found in Rarotonga's main town, Avarua and at villages such as Muri Beach. Te Punanga Nui market offers Rarotonga's most lively shopping experience. Open every Saturday morning, stalls brim with local fruit and vegetables, flowers, music and crafts, while grills cook traditional local food such as Ika Mata and chicken with taro. Traditional crafts, especially weaving, carving and tivaivai (stitching/sewing) are sold in a number of shops and markets. Rarotonga is blessed with fragrant and exotic flowers, many of which – namely tipani (frangipani), tiare (gardenia), and pitate (jasmine) – are used in locally-produced perfumes, oils and soaps.
Food and hospitality are an essential element of Cook Island culture, and as a result the islands host notable culinary trade. Thai, Indian and Italian restaurants are popular in Rarotonga, with chefs creating exciting fusion meals that explore both international and Pacific flavours. A number of island-style cafes focus on traditional dishes. All produce and seafood is harvested locally and used fresh. Local catches include deep sea fish such as tuna, mahi mahi and parrot fish. Traditional cooking is complex and time-consuming. Food is often prepared in an umu – a Polynesian underground oven. Special occasions are usually marked by a feast called an umukai, which translates to "food from the oven". Meat is served as the main dish and generally accompanied by ika and potato salad.
Kava is a traditional ceremonial drink, and coconut water is also popular. Most restaurants and cafes are licensed to sell beer, wine and spirits – Rarotonga has more than two dozen licensed bars and restaurants, many which feature live entertainment. Night spots stay open till around midnight, or later on Friday and Saturday nights.
Cook Island Holiday Packages
Experience all that the Cook Islands have to offer, with a great selection of Cook Island holiday packages. Packages include flights, accommodation and an exceptional variety of extras.

The singer recently gave USA Weekend a look at her home away from home – her tour bus – also known as her "cottage on wheels."
"I wanted something pretty calming," Lambert said. "Everything, when you step off this bus, is really pretty fast-paced and rock 'n' roll … I wanted some place where I could really have relaxation before I have to go out there and hit the craziness."
Can you picture Lambert's husband Blake Shelton hanging in such a pink and "girly" environment? Well, it seems he can't either.
"He doesn't come out with me a lot, I guess because he's got a TV show and a tour," said Lambert, adding that she spends more time on his bus than he does on hers. "One time, he was like, 'Three of my drawers are your clothes. I love you, but this is my tour bus. Can I have a drawer back?' "
Check out more about Lambert's Platinum tour here.

Like the Ascent Jacket, the Ascent Pant offers maximum breathability and mobility. This is our go-to pant for any warm weather western hunt.
This pant is the mainstay of hunters across the west and inspired the saying, "Superman wears Sitka Pajamas." In terms of weight and comfort, you could confuse it for a pajama pant. It's ultra-breathable and fully gusseted for exceptional range of movement, never bunching in the crotch. But unlike sleepwear, it's durable. We designed the Ascent Pant for brush busting and built it from rugged, yet quiet, 4-way stretch woven polyester. With articulated knees, it's shaped for the hunter on the move.
Just like the Ascent Jacket, the Ascent Pant expels heat and perspiration to keep you comfortable as you chew through the early season miles. A roll-up snap system keeps your cuffs dry for creek crossings. And as the weather turns, you can layer underneath well into the mid season. A zippered rear pocket, two hip pockets, and easy access cargo pockets offer plenty of space to tuck in the essentials.
Great pants. This is the ultimate warm weather pants made for easy walking and great durability. I gave my old pair to my son and bought a new pair, we both love them.
Wore these pants four days straight on an August archery bear and deer hunt in Arizona. The pants are WAY more durable than I expected and held up great in light rain, hiking through scrub oak and manzanita, glassing, and stalking! Conveniently located pockets and rubberized interior waistband are great features. Highly breathable too. Better have at least 2 pair!!!
I absolutely love these pants. I wear these pants for everything I do outdoors. Even when it is very cold, I just wear a base layer to keep me warm. These pants breathe so well and are very comfortable. I hunt, hike, shed hunt, snowshoe, and cross country ski in these pants. They are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned and for everything I put them through, are holding up great. I put these to the test almost every weekend and am always happy with their performance.
These pants are incredible. By far, my favorite that I own. I dove hunt in them, wear them under my waders, and they're my favorite pants to wear casually in just about any situation. I'm 6'1" and I bought the 32 tall. The length is perfect. Please please please make these is some other earth tone colors and in Waterfowl camo. I'd buy them all.
These pants are super comfortable and are cut extremely well. I compared these to a competing company's pants before purchasing and the fabric on these is way more comfortable. Some hunting pants feel like you're wearing burlap. These literally feel like pajama pants. All that and they've held up extremely well. My only complaint with these pants are the large cargo pockets on the sides. I keep my cell phone or rangefinder in those pockets. When walking they hang almost on the side of my knees and its just a little odd. Other than that they're my go to hunting pants.
There really isn't much else to say about there pants except that they are amazing. Ive never had a pair of pants that are more comfortable than these. They stretch like you wouldn't believe and move with you with no resistance. I have used the roll up feature on these pants but they are so light that you don't really need too. they dry out extremely quickly and breath amazingly well. A must have pair of pants for early season that can take you into mid season with proper layering.
The Ascent paints are the best light weight pants I have everused. The breath very well, the cut is comfortable and doesn't bind. I have used them without layers from the 80's down into the 40's and been comfortable. ...these are my go to pants for any early season hunt.
I have put these pants through a good amount of abuse this summer and they have more than exceeded my expectations. Rain or shine, hot or cold, they are always breathable yet can be warm when they need to be. By far my most comfortable pair of pants. I have 2 pairs in the clay color and people are always inquiring on where I bought my pants.
I bought a pair of these pants for an August archery deer hunt I had in Nor Cal, where temps can reach over 100 deg's. I was concerned about the breathability of them and if I would overheat, since I tend to get really hot. I can tell you after returning from the hunt that they preformed very well and they were not hot at all, they were very comfortable, quiet and did not stretch out by the end of my 5 day hunt. I would highly recommend these pants, in fact I'm going to buy a seconds pair for my 10 day hunts.
As a female, I have tried on MANY different hunting pants. These are my FAVORITE! I WISH Sitka made a women's line. At 5'8 155# most women's pants are too short, too narrow, too low and don't cover my butt, or just plain uncomfortable. I don't care about cute! These are comfortable, practical, easy to layer, and feel like pajamas! Even though they're men's pants, I highly recommend them to other women. I have worn my ascent pants from the artic circle on an archery caribou hunt all the way down to antelope hunts in New Mexico. By far my favorite pair of pants.
Simply the best, crotch doesn't sag like other brands. They are super tear resistant. Really light weight and don't sag off your hips. I ve never used the roll up feature. I d remove it on future models.
One of my favorite pieces from Sitka. These pants are light, breathable, and can take a beating. Perfect pants for summer scouting and trail camera checks.
I've had these for 4 years now, best backcountry, long hike pants I've ever owned. More comfortable then the jeans I wear around town. Just came back to order a solid color pair for backpacking season. Where's the 5th star?
These pants are amazing. There is no restriction in movement, all the pockets are perfectly placed and they seem to hold up well. Only issue I had was that sticker bushes seem to snag up on them, but that is my fault to go through the NE woods without gaitors on.
Awesome lightweight pants, my go to for almost all of my early season hunts. Would love to see a side zip of some sort for ventilation on those hot early season approaches/pack outs.
These are the best all around outdoor pants on this planet! I recently shot what is my personal best mule deer and we were in some pretty treturous country. Cliffs with jagged rocks down through scrub oak and briars. These pants endured it all! Thank you Sitka for your efforts and for designing such a perfect pant for me. Anyone considering purchasing but worried about the cost. I can tell you that you will get your money's worth, and then some.
I just bought my second pair! After 5 years of abuse on Search & Rescue my first pair wore out. Best pant out there for what we do, move with you, warm in cooler conditions, cool in hot conditions we see it all here in western Colorado and the preform better hands down to any other pants out there.7 other team members are wearing them now and the all love the for there durability and great fit.
Just wore these pants for 8 days archery elk hunting in Colorado the last week of September. They were extremely comfy and were for more durable than I ever expected. Busting through brush, pickers, burs and sage. There is not a single snag on them anywhere. All my hunting partners loved them and said they were getting a pair as there clothes kept loading up with burs mine stayed relatively bur free. Thanks Sitka absolutely love the pants.
I just returned from Moose/Caribou hunting in Alaska. I wore these pant for 2 1/2 weeks and love them,they worked flawlessly and could not be happier. I am very rough on my equipment and these held up to my standards. I have recommended these pants to all of my friends. I will be buying another pair.
I have 5 seasons in these pants hunting elk in Colorado. Mid October at 8000'-10000''. Where I hunt is very rugged and thus high activity. They fit and breath well. With layers I'm comfortable down to near freezing with any activity. Durability has also been very good. I did tear one pant leg on a sharp tree limb but I can't fault the pants given the situation. I had the small hole mended locally. I will not hesitate to buy another pair when I eventually wear these out.
I have these pants in the optifade forest and in the clay. I absolutely love these pants! I am one of those people that sweats in air conditioning, and I'm not going to lie, I still sweat a little in these pants, but the fact that they are pants and I'm sweating less in these than I do in my shorts blows me away. I love how breathable they are as well as the stretch and DWR finish. One of the problems I have with them is that the pockets are a fleece-like material...this makes no sense to me seeing as if Sitka wanted a lightweight pant, they wouldn't use a warmer material for pockets. It sometimes get annoying with these "fleece" pockets because if I'm doing work in the heat, I don't get hot anywhere else but where the pockets are. I your hands are just the slightest bit wet or sweaty, good luck trying to get anything out of the pockets without pulling the whole thing in-side-out. These pants have some great features and some ones that need to be worked on, but overall these are my favorite all-around pants to wear for most of the warmer months.
I returned from an Axis Deer/Black Buck hunting trip on Molokai, HI, and must say I knew OptiFade worked, but now have an "it" story of my own. I was wearing the Core LS with Ascent Pants (might buy Mountains now). Glassed a group of 8 does and one Black Buck from across a draw, on top of a very steep mountain. I decided it was worth a try crossing the draw, climbing, and attempting a spot-and-stalk. Once I get 60 yards away, I ducked behind a ridge, readied myself, and crawled within 40 yards of the Buck. Never detected, the does could not alert the Buck of approaching danger (me). I slowly rose to shoot, and had ample time to aim. As anyone familiar with these animals knows, they spook easily(unless you are wearing OptiFade), and he never got skittish. I executed the shot, and am now the proud harvester of a three-curler Black Buck. I gave it a THREE STARS rating because it is already coming apart (I am aware the Mountain pant uses more durable material)
I purchased these pants for my climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. I wore them everyday with the exception of summit and could not have been happier. They truly live up to their name as I was able to wear them in vastly different climate zones on the climb. The athletic fit was ideal and incredible comfortable. I am looking forward to using the pants on my upcoming hunts.
I could go on and on about these pants but I won't. They have done it all for me in every season with only giving up a small hole at the bottom. Four years worth of hunting and still going strong. Amazingly comfy and unbelievably concealing. I have harvested two whitetail bucks in the last two years. Oh yeah it was spot and stalk too. Thanks sitka gear. Ryan Wade.
This was my first piece of Sitka gear purchased. I was doubtful that it would live up to the Sitka hype, but I was willing to give it a try. 4 years and hundreds of hard miles later I am still wearing them and loving every minute. They have held up amazingly. They have one small hole down at the bottom of the leg. These pants have been used hard and I really can't believe how good they still look. I call them my "hunting pajamas" and they really are that comfortable. These are my year round hunting and hiking pants. Perfect for hot weather and when it gets colder I start layering. They dry fast, breath great, and are long lasting. I don't usually write reviews, but these pants are worth every penny. Thanks Sitka Gear.
The design of the pants great, the material fantastic, but went 2nd class on the leg seams. Rather than doing a nice double stitch along the leg seams like in BDUs they went with a single stitch that leaves a a semi-standing flap (it won't flatten down) along the entire seam that irriates the leg when you walk a distance in a form fitting pants such as these. if you have a base layer no problem, but without it's not comfortable.
I purchased the Ascent pant for a elk hunt in the Blue Mountains of Washington State. My first reaction is wow finally atheletic moutaineering clothing made for hunters! The first moment I put these pants on I could tell they were like no other pair of hunting pants I've ever owned. The cut and material of the pants allows for excellent mobility, especially when climbing steep terrain. On my hunt it was not uncommon to be climbing 2000 feet of elevation in and out of canyons looking for elk. These pants never bound my legs or restricted my ability to climb up the side of a ridge. I found the fabric to be very breathable. When layered with medium weight long underwear the pants had enough warmth to keep me comfortable when sitting for long periods of time in 30 - 45 degree F. The light fleece lined handwarmer pockets are a nice feature to toast up your hands. I found the material and construction to be fairly robust for such a light pair of pants. I never had them snag on any brush or pick up burrs. I'm 6'1" height so I also appreciated that these pants are available in a long length - my only complaint is that the long inseam is not available in a 32" waist so I went with the 34" and cinched up a belt. Overall I'm very pleased with these pants in fact I went out and purchased the Ascent top and looking forward to trying it out on my next hunt.
I bought a pair of these last year when they still came in optifade forest for early season whitetail hunts. I tend to do more hiking than the average whitetail hunter. I still hunt public land and hike up steep bluffs to my stands on my family's property. The ascent pant is an excellent pant that is moisture wicking, very breathable, and moves with you. I have been nothing but impressed with this product.
I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair of these while at the NRA show in Houston this year (being involved in the GORE Hunting Tech/Mountain Tech program has it's perks at times). I've been putting a solid butt kicking on them ever since. I have owned and used heavily, every other soft-shelled pant in the Sitka lineup, but never had never used the Ascent pant. My first impression was of the "slim fit", of which I had reservations on (I'm a "stocky" guy with thick quads; but once I moved around in them; any reservations went away (if you are paying hard earned cash for bomb-proof gear; but are hung up on fashion appeal...go elsewhere. But "function" outperforms "form" every time). These pants are just down right comfortable! There is no restriction of movement whatsoever. I took a trip this past June to the Island of Kauai; which gave the perfect warm-weather testing ground. They performed admirably at moving moisture away and letting air in...but a garment can only do so much in 90 degree heat, with 90%+ humidity. Even so I was very pleased with their performance. Wearing them while hiking on technical terrain, they shine like the sun. I could definitely see rock climbing while in these pants. While scouting this season, I've done a lot of "brush busting" (N ID can be very thick)and finally managed to poke a very tiny hole, down near the calf area. I knew that it would tear once I was snagged, it was a pretty gnarly thorn bush. This is something that I've never been able to do in any of the of the other Sitka Soft shells...but even so, for as lightweight as they are, they are pretty bombproof. If you want a lightweight, 4 way stretch garment that's super breathable; there has to be a trade off somewhere. But like I said; for what I've put these pants through on a weekly basis for the past three months or so; I've been very impressed. If you were to own one pair of pant to wear from spring through summer and into fall; these would be it. Just layer accordingly. Luke J.

When the Buffalo Bills kick off their season home opener in Ralph Wilson Stadium in September, New York State officials will have a new place to schmooze executives and other bigwigs as they try to lure them to the region.
Included in a lengthy stadium lease agreement is a requirement that the state have access to a 16-person suite for all Buffalo Bills games that it can use as its "I Love New York Hospitality Center" for economic development, tourism and public awareness of the region and the state.
The idea, state officials said, is to have a place where state agencies can host out-of-town executives who might be considering moving a company to Erie County or to hold events to promote the region.
Kenneth Adams, president and CEO of Empire State Development Corp., the state's economic development agency, called the suite a "great way to show off Buffalo and the Western New York region to businesses interested in relocating their jobs and operations."
The state also will be able to use Bills logos and trademarks for its "I Love New York" campaign and to promote Western New York and the state.
Both are part of a 10-year stadium deal that moved a step toward completion Thursday as the Erie County Legislature unanimously approved the final lease documents and authorized the county to borrow $40.7 million for its share of the stadium renovations. Empire State Development and the National Football League owners gave their approvals to the lease documents earlier this week.
Russ Brandon, Buffalo Bills president and chief executive officer, issued a statement after the Legislature vote. "This was an important step in the continued process for finalizing the lease agreement and remaining on schedule for the renovations to Ralph Wilson Stadium," he said. "…We look forward to the final approval by the New York State Legislature in the near future."
Officials hope representatives from the Bills, Erie County and the state will be able to sign the final contracts early next month. The final approval needed will come from state lawmakers as they vote on the state's $53.9 million share of the stadium work.
"We'll be ready to close as soon as the state budget is adopted," Deputy County Executive Richard Tobe said.
The 10-year deal, announced in December, calls for $130 million in stadium upgrades split among the state, county and the team. In addition to the construction project, the county and the state have agreed to pay for annual stadium maintenance and upgrades, as well as team subsidies and reimbursements for game day and stadium operating expenses. The team will provide $35.5 million for the stadium renovation and will pay for a portion of the annual stadium upgrades through rent payments.
Tobe said state officials plan to use the suite to promote New York State for business and expect to feature local fruit and vegetables and products made in the state.
The state will be required to pay for any food and beverage costs in the suite, according to the lease.
Erie County did not seek similar accommodations during negotiations with the Buffalo Bills.
"We didn't feel the need for that because whenever we need the Bills to host, if we have a company prospect, they're always very, very willing to do that," Tobe said. "It's in our mutual interest to have new companies come in. They hope to get a box purchased from it, and obviously we want the new company."
State officials will not be able to use the stadium suite unless it is for a list of pre-approved uses that include "charitable or public functions" and "encouraging and fostering economic development, tourism and public awareness for the City of Buffalo, Erie County and the State of New York." Use of the suite will be approved through Empire State Development, a spokeswoman for the agency said.
"We are proud of the Bills and Western New York, and we want business leaders from around the country to know what a great place this is to invest and grow," Adams said.

The election battles are over. Now Americans will see whether our elected leaders can bridge the divisiveness and partisanship to solve our nation's problems.
We hope so because our nation faces many challenges from a sluggish economy and rising debt to fighting the threat from terrorists and moving closer to energy independence.
Tuesday's election confirmed that despite the name of our country, Americans are deeply divided when it comes to many issues. That's not new. At many times in our history, Americans have been at polar opposites on key issues.
But even with all of the baggage of the Civil War, Americans found a way to come together and build the greatest republic on Earth, a beacon to the world.
Today, our nation faces a political environment that might be even more challenging to find compromise than existed after the War Between the States.
The great advances in communications and technology which have benefited society also have given extremists on both sides of any issue a tremendous platform to spread their message and bring immense pressure on politicians to toe the organization's line.
Somehow, we must temper the pressure of the extremes to ensure our nation's leaders can find a middle ground on key issues. But that won't happen unless both sides cooperate.
True compromise means both sides giving ground so that what is gained by both far exceeds what each is losing. That's the type of attitude we need in Washington.
The upcoming lame-duck session of Congress will give an indication as to whether those in power want to be statesmen finding compromise to move the nation ahead or bickering politicians who leave the nation stuck in a morass.
While the electorate seems to be divided on almost every issue, we need our leaders in Washington to remind us that we share a goal to build a better America for ourselves and our children.
Our forefathers were able to come together after fighting with guns and cannons 150 years ago to build a better nation.
Today, we need that same leadership. And we hope that the president and Congress can deliver.

Harold C. Shaver Jr. was sent to prison Friday because he failed to provide any care for four years for his 85-year-old mother, who spent 24 hours a day on a couch soaked with urine and feces, and whose body was covered in bedsores when she died nine days after emergency responders found her in her Lewiston home.
When he leaves prison, Shaver is likely to get something else: his mother's estate, valued by his attorney Friday at $167,600.
That realization left Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas flabbergasted.
"Is there any way on God's green earth he can be prevented from getting that?" Farkas asked Friday while sending Shaver to prison for 16 months to four years, the maximum sentence for his felony guilty plea to second-degree endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person.
The answer appears to be no.
Surrogate's Court files show that in her 1974 will, Mary Shaver already had cut out a son, Michael, and left the estate to her other three children. In a 1976 will, Mary Shaver cut out a daughter, Catherine Long of Youngstown. And in the 1983 version, , daughter Michele Dorsey of Stuyvesant was cut out, leaving Harold Shaver with everything at his mother's death, including the home in Lewiston, real estate in Allegany County and all her money and other property.
"This was a dysfunctional, fractured family for many years. There was very little contact between siblings," Dorsey wrote in a letter to the court.
According to Shari Jo Reich, attorney for the estate, Harold Shaver's sisters could challenge the 1983 will that makes him the sole heir. However, they would have to prove that if it weren't for his treatment of their mother, she wouldn't have died when she did.
The problem is that the autopsy discovered a previously unsuspected stomach tumor, which was listed on the death certificate as the cause of Mary Shaver's death Oct. 30, 2011.
"[Harold Shaver] didn't admit he killed her, and he didn't. The cancer killed her," Reich said.
The siblings, to prevent Harold Shaver from collecting the money, would have to prove otherwise. The same cancer finding was an obstacle to a homicide charge against him.
Reich said there was a $33,000 trust fund that Mary Shaver set up for her son, which should pass to him outside of probate. The remainder of the estate was valued at $130,000, and there was a $4,600 life insurance policy.
Assistant District Attorney Heather A. DeCastro said in court Friday that Harold Shaver was taking money from the estate even while his mother was in the hospital.
She showed the court photocopies of checks to "cash," bearing Mary Shaver's apparently forged signature, dated between Oct. 21 and 28, 2011, totaling $2,500. Mary Shaver was in the hospital from Oct. 21 until she died Oct. 30, 2011.
The prosecutor quoted an emergency medical technician who said that when he hoisted the woman off the rotten couch, "My fingers sank into the skin as if it were Jell-O or pudding. She was moaning in pain."
Harold Shaver's criminal attorney, Assistant Public Defender A. Joseph Catalano, called the photos of Mary Shaver's sores "gruesome."
He said Harold Shaver "has informed me his mother hated doctors. She didn't want medical care. … His mother didn't want visitors in the home, and he was doing what her wishes were. Should there have been something different done? I don't know. I don't know what her wishes were. He does."
"I'm very sorry it's come to this," was all Harold Shaver told the judge.
"That's it?" Farkas asked in surprise.
Michele Dorsey did not attend the sentencing but said in a letter to Farkas that her mother was "allegedly" injured in a fall in 2007 and couldn't walk. Her brother Harold, whom she referred to in the letter as "Mr. Shaver," was living with her, never married and hadn't worked in two decades.
When Mary Shaver died, she had 8-by-10-inch bedsores on her back that went all the way to the bone, DeCastro said. There was so much urine and feces on the couch, that it, the carpet, the hardwood floor and the subfloor all had rotted.
When she finally was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, doctors and nurses spent considerable time cleaning shreds of newspapers out of her wounds. Newspapers were her mattress.
Farkas said she couldn't believe that Harold Shaver "genuinely thought it was his mother's wish that she decompose on a couch while he took her money and went drinking … In my opinion, sir, you killed your mother, and you did it by way of torture."
"No," Harold Shaver said quietly.
"Yes, you tortured your mother to death," Farkas shot back. "Wake up and smell the roses."
DeCastro said Harold Shaver was a regular at a Lewiston bar.
DeCastro said the windows of the home were covered with heavy curtains, plastic and old newspapers to keep anyone from looking in to see the squalor. The heat and lights were usually off.
"This is how she lived while he took her money and went to bars and watched sports," Dorsey wrote. "I truly believe he hoped he would come home one night and find that she had died and everything would be all right."
She said as time went on, she found it impossible to reach her mother on the phone when Harold Shaver wasn't home. She accused him of unplugging the phone when he went out to help keep his secret.
DeCastro said it was Dorsey who called authorities Oct. 21, 2011, after Harold Shaver refused to let her see her mother.
Dorsey's letter said to Harold Shaver, "You told her she was a terrible mother and you hated her and she had ruined your life."
Dorsey wrote that in the hospital, her mother "readily accepted medical help." Her letter claimed that Mary Shaver "shook her fist at [Harold] … She died referring to Mr. Shaver [in vulgar terms]."

U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., blasted President Barack Obama's apocalyptic view of the federal sequester at Sunday's Lewis County Lincoln Day dinner, saying the forecasted disaster hasn't been seen in the first three days.
"We're still living and breathing," said Capito. "It's going to be a challenge. Everything is going to be cut, but it's only 2 percent. I think (Obama) is losing the American people. It's all 'the sky is falling' without any of the facts."
She also criticized Obama's refusal to accept blame for the sequester. She said the idea for the across-the-board budget cuts was an idea proposed by the White House. While she said she has no problem with the president's proposed closing of some tax loopholes, she said tax reforms without spending cuts is not within the Republicans' talking points.

The Inter-Mountain photo by John Wickline
West Virginia Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito told the gathering at the Lewis County Lincoln Day Dinner Sunday that the next few weeks will be a challenge as Congress looks at the budget cuts caused by the sequester.
"We all have to make choices," Capito said. "We've got our credit cards maxed out, and we have trillions of dollars of debt. We cannot keep passing off this generational debt to our children. It can't be sustained."
She believes the battle to create a federal budget will be a difficult one, but one that the country needs to go through. She said Congress will learn which federal programs are not working and what programs the country can do without.
Capito, who has announced she will seek the U.S. Senate seat of the retiring Jay Rockefeller in 2014, said West Virginia is losing its economy under the current administration. She predicted the anti-coal policies currently employed by the administration will soon be expanded to include natural gas. She joked that as she drives along U.S. 33 near Elkins that she has yet to see one of those windmills turning.
"Does anybody ever see those windmills turning?" she said. "The balance has been tipped to extreme environmentalists."
Capito said West Virginia is exporting more and more of its coal to Europe and to China, a country she said "has no environmental regulations."

To the editor:
In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting the issue of gun control is obviously in the fore front of the national conversation. As a gun owner, shooting enthusiast and NRA member I have a gut feeling that this may be the one that broke the proverbial camel's back and a assault weapons ban will be passed.
This kind of violence has to stop and we as a nation can no longer tolerate being terrorized by psychotic mass killers. Conservatives are calling for arming teachers and the liberals are calling for gun bans. I for one am not comfortable with either.
My opinion is that the solution is somewhere in the middle . As the saying goes "guns don't kill people; people kill people." It's about time we focus on the people.
No matter where you stand on the gun issue we all have to come together and have a serious discussion and find a solution that we can all live with. If we don't we will all suffer the consequences.

"I mean, if you're driving you make a little stop at, you know, the Wal-Mart rest stop ... you're good," Bieber tells the Johnjay and Rich radio show in San Diego.
Bieber says that while he's yet to try the parking lot maneuver inside the new Range Rover his pal Usher bought him for his 16th birthday, he's certain that if he does, it'll work out well.
"I'm a good – I'm a great kisser," the singer says, noting he's made out with "a couple chicks."
When one of the radio hosts then complimented Bieber's "nice, little full lips," the comment threw the tween sensation off for a second. "Oh ... I don't know why you're saying that," Bieber said jokingly.

Blackhawks trading Kane?
Posted 10 February 2011 - 11:14 AM
Posted 10 February 2011 - 02:25 PM
robbing Peter to pay Paul if they do this, IE they are robbing their offense to address their s***ty goaltending, this would be a lateral move in my mind because while their GAA will drop so will their GF.
Chicago's ESPN 1000 reported the Hawks are in talks to possibly deal Patrick Kane and Marty Turco to Buffalo for Ryan Miller... take it for what it's worth. But there has been a lot of behind the scenes drama with Kane in the organization that I would be surprised by the trade but not shocked.

Buffalo gets a 60-point guy just coming into his own, and a goalie sitting at 3.10/0.896.
They lose a top-10 goalie in wins, saves, shots taken, GAA of 2.70.
Now if you look at it from Chicago's side, they save 0.4 goals per game against, but lose 0.377 goals per game for, in addition to 0.578 assists per game.
At best, it's a lateral move.

They still have a solid top-six of Toews, Hossa, Sharp, Brouwer, Kopecky, and Bolland.
The only question is, what happens to Corey Crawford? Perhaps he's traded in the offseason to fill Kane's void, or with Seabrook if there is trouble there?

No way Buffalo goes for this, Turco is old and Miller is their franchise.
The deal as listed does seem to kind of screw Buffalo, this is true. But this is perhaps the answer to the question I posed earlier.
To Buffalo:
F: Patrick Kane
G: Corey Crawford
To Chicago:
G: Ryan Miller
Draft pick/decent prospect
As listed here, however, Chicago doesn't come out in nearly as strong shape unless the pick is good. With the Kane/Turco deal, they still have Crawford to deal for a forward if they need to. With this deal, they are stuck with Turco as the backup.

i can't make any sense of this rumor. buffalo has miller signed up through 2014 for a reason. he'll be 34 then, which is hardly that old.
Did someone like hit their head on the kitchen counter...
Posted 13 February 2011 - 02:50 AM
I could see this trade making more sense back when certain goalies dominated the league every year, but Its not really a goalies game anymore. Doesn't really seem to benefit either team greatly either. Buffalo would be left with practically no goaltending for a gain of 60 points?
Which is why, as I said, a realistic Kane-for-Miller deal would involve Crawford, not Turco.

A local photographer's passion for feathered friends and freshly cut hay has turned into an eye-catching display.
Valley Head resident Debbie Sorensen will feature her images of barns and birds at Artists at Work in Elkins through the end of April.
"The photos are mostly from West Virginia, but there are some barns mixed in from Florida, Canada and Colorado," Sorensen said. "The majority from West Virginia are barns located in Randolph and Pocahontas counties."
Article Photos
The photos are available in a multitude of sizes, from framed, 8-by-10-inch works to smaller notecards. Sorensen's work is on display in the front window at Artists at Work, as well as on her display wall. She also has five of her favorite barns adorning the wall at Mountain Valley Bank in downtown Elkins.
Sorensen said her interest in photography was sparked by her aunt.
"My Aunt Helen had a really nice camera when I was a child," Sorensen said. "She used to let me borrow it, and I found photography fascinating."
Sorensen said after she married her husband, Kirk, she decided to change careers. She went to college and received an associate's degree in hospitality management. She said her husband bought her a nice camera for her graduation, and her hobby progressed from there.
"I did not know what to do to take good photos, so I joined a camera club," she said. "Every day was a lesson, and I am still learning."
Following graduation, Sorensen worked in Charleston at the Capitol for five years in tourism. This is where she met two photographers who helped her, Steve Shaluta and David Fattaleh.
"I learned so much from these guys," she said. "When the capitol photo lab switched over to digital, they advised me to change as well. I resisted until 2006."
Sorensen said she decided to take photos of barns because of the smell of freshly cut hay.
"I love the smell of hay," she said. "It is perfume to me."
As far as her love of birds, she said she keeps a bird feeder up all winter.
"It's hard not to run over to a window to see what kinds of birds are out there," Sorensen said. "It is always great fun. All birds are beautiful to me, from tiny hummingbirds to vultures."
One photo she wants to get is an eagle in free flight.
"I strive to take photos of nature in natural, not manmade settings."
Sorensen said some of the barns she has photographed have since fallen down.
"I asked one person's permission to take pictures of their barn, and they said they didn't think there was anything special about the barn," she said. "When I showed them the finished product, they were amazed and said they did not realize how wonderful the barn looked."
Sorensen said she wants to continue adding to her collection of barns and birds.
"Anyone who would want to have their barn photographed can contact me," she said. "I am enjoying adding to this collection, and invite everyone to stop by and see the photographs."
Sorensen, who owns Gold Dome Photography, said she doesn't think she ever will grow tired of her work.
"I just can't imagine the day I won't have a camera in my hands taking photos," she said.
Sorensen's work is available at Artists at Work located at 329 Davis Ave. in Elkins. Additional information is available by calling 304-637-6309 or 304-339-6462.

To: Marquette University Community
From: L. Christopher Miller, Vice President for Student Affairs
I am writing to share with you news of a serious accident involving one of our students that took place at an off-campus apartment building early this morning. A Marquette student fell from a balcony when a railing he was leaning on gave way, according to the report given by the other student present.
The prayers of our entire campus community go out to the family and the student, who was immediately transported to Froedtert Hospital, where he is being treated for serious injuries. Marquette's Campus Ministry staff has met with the family at the hospital and will continue to be of support.
The safety of our students is our most important priority. The incident occurred at a privately owned apartment building and we have been in touch with both the City of Milwaukee and the building owner to fully understand how the situation occurred. Our Department of Public Safety has also notified the other residents of the building and advised them to avoid the balconies.
As a close-knit campus community, an event like this one impacts each and every one of us, as we work to support the injured student, family and friends, and the entire campus community. A prayer service for the student will be held at 4 p.m. this evening in the Chapel of the Holy Family in the Alumni Memorial Union. We also encourage our campus community to make use of Marquette's counseling and spiritual services, including Campus Ministry, the Counseling Center, and the resources available through the Office of Residence Life and the Division of Student Affairs. Most importantly, we ask for your continued prayers for our student and his family.

Facebook's open source data center
Two open data centers at Facebook
Today, the many in the world focus on making things as environmentally-friendly as possible to reduce the negative impact daily life has on the environment to protect it for future generations. This includes major corporations, such as Facebook.
Facebook is at the forefront of creating greener ways to operate their servers that contain everything that makes the website run for its millions of users. With their state-of-the-art open source data centers, they are helping companies around the world match their stride.
The data center initiative
Facebook currently operates two data centers, one in Prineville, Oregon, and one in Forest City, North Carolina. Each of these facilities has been designed to operate as efficiently as possible through a partnership with Open Compute. This keeps the cost of running the facility down, as well as reduces the negative impact on the environment itself. Their goal was to lower the power usage effectiveness, or PUE, as close to the ideal 1-to-1 ratio as possible so they can be greener with each click their users make.
With this innovative new open source coding, Facebook offers public access to the same information their engineers use daily to monitor the efficiency of the facilities.
The dashboards
Each data center Facebook operates offers access to their dashboards online so anyone can track the effectiveness of each facility. Included on these dashboards is real-time information, including the current PUE, and water usage effectiveness, or WUE, outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature. You can also access the same information over the last 24 hours, days, weeks or even the full year.
The goal of the partnership between Facebook and Open Compute is to show other companies that require the operation of server facilities how to make their operations more efficient as well, in addition to providing them with the open source code they need to replicate the efforts.
A new green facility
With the success of their two current data centers, Facebook is pleased to announce they are opening a new data center in Altoona, Iowa, in the near future. This state-of-the-art facility will offer the same public monitoring through the open source software developed by Open Compute in a new, more efficient facility. The evolutionary design of the building and the unique cooling system that uses air from outside the facility to cool the servers makes this data center greener than any other similar facility, including the original two centers Facebook currently operates.
Because this technology and software is available via open source code, other data centers can use it and make improvements, helping every business run more efficiently to save money and the environment.

HI Joshua:
This is amazing.
I wanted to see the online dashboard so I googled: "facebook forest city dashboard".
The top result links to the dashboard: https://www.fbpuewue.com/forest-city
On the web page it reads: "Be Open"
I could not quite place the amazing part for a dashboard until I looked myself: Amazing! First of all for being open with the data, but even more on the dynamic dashboard. Tip, move your mouse of the graphs.
Here is some more info on how Google deals with green data centers: http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/efficiency/internal/index.html#m...

LISBON - U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson and his challenger, Charlie Wilson, both issued press releases last week as the 6th District Congressional race between them heats up about six weeks from election day.
Johnson's staff accused Wilson of making false statements about Johnson during the campaign. According to their release, Wilson put out a television advertisement claiming Johnson twice voted to kill Medicare.
According to Johnson's campaign manager Rachel Jacobs, the Ohio Elections Commission has found probable cause that Wilson lied about Johnson. Next Wilson was served with a subpoena and will have to go before a full panel of the Ohio Elections Commission to determine if he made a false statement, Jacobs said.
Johnson reportedly planned to be involved in two debates with Wilson, one in Marietta and one in Steubenville, but is not currently considering involvement in any others.
"Wilson has continued to lie throughout the campaign and now Ohio's top elections watchdog panel has called him on it," Jacobs said in a release. "Until and unless Wilson apologizes for his lie and agrees to not repeat it in any kind or variation, the Johnson campaign will agree to no more debates.
JR Starrett, campaign manager for Wilson, denied as of Friday afternoon that Wilson had received any subpoena and claims Johnson is backing out of debates for other reasons.
Wilson reportedly has agreed to additional debates at the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce in New Philadelphia and at the Boardman School Television Network in Youngstown, both of which have contacted him to say Johnson does not plan to come. Additionally, Wilson has agreed to debates at the American Association of University Women in Zanesville and the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce in Ironton.
"We stand behind our statement that Congressman Johnson's attack on Medicare, that would force seniors to pay an additional $6,400 a year in out of pocket expenses, is in fact killing the Medicare system that we know," said Starrett in a press release. "The changes applied by a Ryan Johnson budget would change Medicare to a voucher system that would create a predetermined stipend for a full year's worth of medical service. Congressman Johnson can call it by any name, but this is not the Medicare our seniors currently know."
Starrett said Johnson's real reason for not wanting to debate Wilson in a public forum is so he will not have to answer questions by the public about his support of the Paul Ryan budget and potential the loss of Medicare.

Erie man charged after high-speed chase
A 19-year-old Erie man has been charged after police accused him of traveling more than 100 mph in a high-speed chase in the city Friday night.
Police said Anthony J. Fischer, 19, was driving north in a silver Honda Civic on Interstate 79 shortly after 10 p.m. Friday when state police attempted to stop him for speeding and several other traffic violations. The car was one of five police said were drag racing on the interstate.
Fischer accelerated to more than 100 miles per hour and headed eastbound on West 12th Street in an attempt to flee officers, police said.
Officers eventually called off the chase to avoid further danger to the public and used the car's license plate number to identify Fischer as the driver.
He voluntarily turned himself into state police after being identified, police said.
He was arraigned before Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver on a charge of fleeing and eluding police.

Matt McGloin has been trying to shed the label of being a walk-on for years, but the Penn State quarterback finally has been given a reason to celebrate his humble beginnings.
McGloin on Monday was named the recipient of this year's Burlsworth Award in Springdale, Ark. The award is given annually to the top college football player who began his career without being on scholarship.
"It is great for the university," McGloin said. "To be honored as the top walk-on for this year's graduating class is a great honor. I wouldn't have been able to be here without the support of my family, teammates, coaches and fans. It's really because of those people that I am where I am today and am able to win such a prestigious award."
A starter since the middle of his sophomore season, McGloin finished as the Lions' career passing touchdown leader with 46. Playing for Bill O'Brien this season, the West Scranton product set single-season school records for passing yardage (3,266) and touchdowns (24).
McGloin threw at least one touchdown pass and reached the 200-yard mark in every game this season as the Lions went 8-4. Penn State ranked first in total offense and second in passing offense in the Big Ten in conference games.
In all, McGloin broke nine Nittany Lion passing marks.
Michigan safety Jordan Kovacs and San Jose State offensive tackle David Quessenberry were the other finalists for the award.
"Today took me back to the beginning of my career," McGloin said. "[This week] I looked back at what I have gone through and the journey that I have taken at Penn State and to be recognized for my accomplishments and the way that I got to Penn State is a true blessing. I am fortunate to be in the company of such great people that are involved with this award and to win such an amazing award today is just indescribable."
Lehigh was the only other Division I college to recruit McGloin heavily. Before heading to Penn State, he played at Mansion Park in the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association East West All-Star Game, where he completed 6-of-12 passes for a game-best 78 yards in a contest called in the third quarter because of lightning.
"I know Penn State was always there, and they had my coaches talking to them a lot. So I wasn't going to turn that down," McGloin, coming from a family of self-professed Notre Dame fans, told the Mirror in the summer of 2008. "[My parents] were excited. They were going to be supportive no matter what my decision was. I think my parents' friends and stuff are more excited than my parents are, because we have a lot of Penn State friends."
Ironically, at the time, East coach Ed Gallagher described McGloin as a "very quiet and reserved." In his time at Penn State, he was thought of more as a fiery leader who wasn't afraid to speak his mind or let his emotions show.

LOCKPORT – A city man with a history of drunken driving charges admitted he had been drinking in a Niagara Street bar Friday afternoon prior to backing into a passing school bus loaded with 48 Emmet Belknap Middle School students, police said. Two children suffered minor injuries.
Gerald R. Wohleben, 55, of Rapids Road, was arraigned in City Court Monday on charges of felony driving while intoxicated, due to a previous conviction on June 29, 2011, as well as unsafe backing and operating without insurance. He also was charged with aggravated DWI after he was found with a blood-alcohol level above 0.18, more than twice the legal limit, police reported.
Wohleben was accused of backing out of the parking lot on the north side of the Niagara Hotel at 3:15 p.m. Friday, a bar which is less than a block away from Lockport Police Headquarters.
Lockport Police Capt. Michael Niethe said 48 middle-schoolers, ages 9 to 11 were on the bus, which was heading east and stopped in front of the Niagara Hotel parking lot when it was it was struck by Wohleben's vehicle.
An 11-year-old boy he hit his head on a window and a 9-year-old girl struck her head on the seat in front of her. Both declined treatment at the scene, according to Niethe.
Niethe said Wohlenben failed all field sobriety tests at the scene and admitted he had been drinking. He also told police that he had several previous stops for drunken driving.
Wohlenben was held in the Niagara County Jail prior to his court appearance on Monday, then released after posting $500 bail.
