CLYDE - The two top contenders, St. Joe's Connor Dudley and Calvert's Jeremy Hanna, went back and forth in an 18-hole struggle to determine the overall Midland Athletic League champion.
Because of a change in the format, the two played together, seemingly carrying the weight of the title with them from hole to hole.
Then a sophomore from Hopewell-Loudon played a ridiculous back 9 and walked off with the medal.
In the Midland Athletic League Meet Friday, the overall championship did come down to Dudley and Hanna, who each shot a 74. Because of the divisional shootouts, Dudley was awarded the league title for the fourth consecutive year, and St. Joe - which shot a 310 - took the team tournament title for the third straight season on the way to the overall championship.
Hanna, who knew he needed to beat Dudley's score, missed a birdie putt on 18 that would have given him the title. He settled for a par while Dudley bogeyed.
"I always thought the freshman year would be the toughest one. This one was the toughest one," said St. Joe coach Joe Dudley, Connor's father. "(Connor) struggled a little bit coming in. For him to bogey the last two holes, that's not at all like how Connor typically plays. But playing with Jeremy - those two were neck-and-neck all day - fun match to watch."

"We knew throughout where we stood," Connor the player said of his back-and-forth with Hanna. "It was a struggle. I didn't play good at all in my mind. I survived a lot, made a lot of little putts that I had to."
For his part, Hanna lamented some of his final holes - he double-bogeyed 15 and had took a five on the 17th.
"I played pretty well, I kinda just fell apart at the end," Hanna said. "A lot of missed opportunities. Overall I played pretty well, just couldn't get it done."
While Hanna and Dudley were struggling (for them, anyway) on the back 9, Hopewell-Loudon's Bryce Gorrell was owning it. He rolled to a 34 on the back 9 to finish with a 73, one shot better than Hanna and Dudley.
"I started making some birdie putts, started hitting greens, started giving myself chances," the sophomore said. "Some days, that's all you need. They just started falling."
Gorrell led the Chieftains to a 333, one stroke behind New Riegel for second place. The Blue Jackets were led by Andrew Hohman's 77, with all but one of their players breaking 90, a consistency that has led to their success. It also helped coach Mike Quinlan get recognized as the MAL Coach of the Year.
Quinlan said after his team's shootout play, the Blue Jackets knew they probably wouldn't finish first overall.
"Our goal was second, and that's what we did," Quinlan said.
North Baltimore finished fourth in the tournament, with Calvert coming in fifth at 357.
"[Players No.] 1-3 had good rounds," said Senecas coach Bob Williams. "Eighty-one for Johnny Hays is pretty much what his talent level says he should shoot. Matt Huffman, my No. 3 guy, shot an 88, which is his best round of the year."
St. Wendelin (360) finished behind Calvert, led by three players each shooting an 89. Old Fort finished at 370, led by Adam Alexander's 89.
Lakota shot a 369, led by Makayla Dull's 81. Dull, who played with a brace on her leg, said her round got better as it went along.
"On the back I wanted to go as low as I could, make up for the front," Dull said. "Try to get as many pars as I could, try to read my putts better, because that was kind of bad on the front."
Carey, led by Lincoln Stansberry's 85, finished ninth (370) with Seneca East (381), Mohawk (385) and Bettsville (495) rounding out the field.

College of Philosophy and Letters Home > Philosophy for Ministry Lectures
The John F. Kavanaugh, S.J., Philosophy for Ministry Lecture Series
This Series features university lectures, delivered by leading philosophers, which
exemplify the central mission of the College of Philosophy and Letters: to provide
its students with the intellectual tools for reflecting on the social, cultural, and
theological contexts of Catholic ministry in today's world. Traditionally, the discipline
of philosophy has supplied the framework for such reflection, oriented above all
toward preparation for theological studies. Today, in response to the Church's call
for fruitful dialogue between faith and the contemporary world, philosophical reflection
must also illuminate the various social and cultural contexts in which Christian
ministry finds itself. This orientation toward the context of ministry thoroughly
imbued the research, writing, and teaching of Father John F. Kavanaugh, S.J.,
a Jesuit philosopher and member of the Saint Louis University Philosophy
Department from 1974 until his death in 2012. It is thus entirely appropriate that
the Lecture Series takes Fr. Kavanaugh as its inspiration and exemplar.
Inaugural Philosophy for Ministry Lecture:
"Testimony and Religious Belief"
Professor John Greco
Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Chair in Philosophy
Saint Louis University
The Inaugural Lecture will take place this coming fall, on Thursday, September
11, 2014, at 3 PM, in the Sinquefield Stateroom (Saint Louis University, DuBourg
Hall, room 409).

Lewistown Hospital says that, if left alone, its future looks less than rosy. With that situation facing them, officials with the local health care provider have been looking for some time for a partner to carry a good share of the weight, and thereby keep operations moving right along.
That brings us to the present. In a move that should have surprised no one, the hospital is merging with Geisinger Health Systems. Of course that does not please everyone - what solution would, in this case? - but it seems to make sense to us.
Perfection? Of course not. It would have been oh so nice for Lewistown Hospital to carry on independently, as it has for many years. Most folks would prefer 100-percent local control, all things being equal. The catch here is that things are far from equal, especially when you look down the road. It's a good bet that if the hospital needs help now, the need will only increase.
Given that the need is there, then why not Geisinger? Got any better ideas? The hospital cast its net upon the waters and it would seem that the Danville-based provider, which already has a strong local presence, is the answer.
Speaking of answers, there are still plenty of those waiting in regard to the details of this merger. Transparency has been promised, and surely this community will hold officials to that promise. People are down on what they're not up on, so it will only benefit all concerned to forget about secrets and keep the information coming.
Does the community at large really support a Lewistown Hospital-Geisinger Health Systems merger? While it's far from scientific, an online poll we've been running since Dec. 4 shows 55 percent of 778 respondents favor the merger, and another 15 percent said it doesn't matter to them. On the other side, 30 percent expressed disapproval.
Polls don't hold the answer, any more than unanswered questions or unfounded criticism. What we do know at this point is that a merger is taking place but much work needs to be done. As plans proceed, we ask that officials from both Geisinger and Lewistown Hospital keep all of us informed. And we wish both sides good luck. We all will benefit from a merger that provides quality, affordable health care for this corner of Pennsylvania.

March 15 visit will highlight Garden's French roots
From its early beginnings, Charleston has been an international seaport and its landscape and culture have been influenced by many nations. Middleton Place, the historic seat of a prominent English family, is no exception, as influences beyond England are apparent within its landscape and important family collections.
An opportunity to examine some of those influences will take place when Middleton Place hosts the French Heritage Society for lunch and a tour of the Gardens, House Museum and Plantation Stableyards on March 15. Charles Duell, President of the Middleton Place Foundation, welcomes the opportunity to strengthen relations with members of the Society. "There are many facets to Middleton Place that were directly influenced or inspired by the work of French architects and horticulturists," he says. "We are delighted to host the Society, and celebrate our mutual heritage."
The design of the Middleton Place Gardens was guided by the concepts and landscaping philosophies of Andre Le Notre—principal gardener to King Louis XIV—who built many formal gardens including those at Versailles and Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. Henry Middleton, who founded Middleton Place in 1741, hired English gardeners but their designs were based largely on the formal gardens of Le Notre. Perfect symmetry and geometry, long vistas, changes in elevation, reflecting ponds, and classic statuary—all championed by Le Notre—are part of the grand concept for the Middleton Place Gardens. Fate would have it the French Heritage Society will visit Middleton Place on the same week Le Notre was born 400 years ago.
Frenchmen, Andre Michaux, Royal Botanist to Louis XVI, visited Middleton Place in 1786. Michaux's influence on historic gardens along the Ashley River is well documented and he presented the Middletons with some of the first Camellias ever brought to this country. One of these plants still flourishes on the northwest corner of the Parterre overlooking the Ashley River. Michaux also introduced crepe myrtles and tea olives, and likely gave the Middletons examples of each. Today centuries-old specimen trees remind us of the French botanist's early exploration of South Carolina.
Although the Middletons were proudly English, and later, proudly American, several generations of the family spent much time in France. This is well-reflected in the collection of the Middleton Place House Museum. Some of these treasures include a French-made tiara worn by Mary Helen Hering Middleton while attending the Russian imperial court when her husband was Ambassador to the country, as well as a brass and ormolu gothic clock by Leroy & Fils (circa 1825), a portrait of French socialite Juliette Recamier by Pierre Guerin, and many other objects of great historical and cultural value.
The French Heritage Society was founded in 1982 to encourage Americans and French to share their love of historic architecture. The Society has contributed support and funding to hundreds of restoration grants for historic monuments, buildings and gardens in France, and to properties in the United States that reflect France's historic influence. The Society has given aid to restore buildings in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Charleston after Hurricane Hugo (including a grant to restore the Middleton Place Rose Garden after the storm). The French Heritage Society also facilitates an internship program where landscaping students from the Versailles National School of Landscape Architecture spend the summer months working in America's historic gardens, including Middleton Place.
The Society's trip to Charleston takes place March 14-17, and will take the group to many of Charleston's French-influences on a tour of "history, preservation, architecture, decorative arts, and plantation gardens." Besides Middleton Place, the group will visit the Huguenot Church, several buildings designed by Gabriel Manigault, and another Middleton Place Foundation property, the Edmondston-Alston House, among other sites.
The mission of the Middleton Place Foundation, a public non-profit educational trust, is to sustain the highest levels of preservation and interpretation for the collections and programs of the Middleton Place National Historic Landmark, its Gardens, House, Plantation Stableyards and affiliated properties, such as the Edmondston-Alston House.

MILL HALL - On Sunday, Lisa Stevenson watched her husband and neighbors pull out charred wreckage from a burned skeleton of a trailer that just hours before had been their home at 13 Lionel Lane in Camelot Estates.
Her feet surrounded by puddles from water still streaming from her drenched lawn, she stared at their smoke-streaked, warped washer and dryer. Their ruined kitchen table. Blackened papers in a drawer curling up from flame. Her husband, Gil, pulled out scorched, unrecognizable clumps from the edges of the gutted floor, throwing them in a damp heap on the ground with the rest.
"It's all replaceable," Lisa, 52, said, shaking her head. "Thank God none of us were hurt."

Firefighters survey the damage after a blaze destroyed this trailer at 13 Lionel Lane in Camelot Estates, Mill Hall, on Sunday. The residents accidentally started the fire when they used a propane torch to thaw their frozen water pipes.
She called 911 at 12:20 p.m., she said, when the blaze began. Their water pipes had been frozen, and she and Gil, 66, had been trying to thaw them out by using a propane torch alongside the trailer. No one's quite sure what exactly caught fire, but the blaze started beneath the trailer.
She and her husband got the dogs, cats and birds out safely. No one was injured.
Firefighters got the blaze under control around 2 p.m., said Bill Strunk, Mill Hall fire chief.
They had to cut the floor out since the flames were underneath and spread from there, and so had to bring all the Stevensons' belongings onto the lawn.
"Trailers are a tin can. Over time, the wood keeps drying out ... Trailers are dry and burn really well," Strunk said. "They lost everything."
Strunk advised people to use caution when thawing frozen pipes.
"If you have frozen pipes, be safe thawing them. You can even use a hair dryer, but not an open flame," he said. "It is a problem in the area with open flames. People can even call a plumber to help."
Strunk also noted that this time of year, people are trying to save money on heating costs, so they use space or floor heaters, which also can cause pipes to freeze. Heating with a gas stove also is unsafe, he said.
"Safety goes out the window, sometimes," Strunk said about those quick heating fixes.
Lisa said this was the first time their pipes froze.
"We even wrapped them in heat tape," she said.

Details of Kyrgyz celebration
07 December 2005, 10:47
by Hugh Salmon
Dear All,
FYI – Summary of IVD Plans for Kyrgyzstan. Please also find attached publicity materials we have created / adapted: one banner for the entrance of the V-EXPO. We also adapted the IVD poster, in Russian (with headline in Russian, Kyrgyz and English), but it was too large for this email – if you would like it, I will try to send in a different format. Local events will also create their own version of this poster using different details at the bottom.
Celebrating IVD in Kyrgyzstan
On 5th December, in the capital Bishkek, a V-EXPO will be held at the Fine Arts Museum.
This event will be a unique opportunity for local, national and international volunteer involving organizations (VIOs) to exhibit their work to the public, and recruit new volunteers.
Each participating VIO will have an information stand, displaying examples of their current volunteer activities, including photos and volunteer stories. They will also give information on activities or projects for which they need to recruit volunteers. A big screen in the exhibition hall will show photos and films of volunteers in action, and every hour will give a running total of the number of new volunteers recruited during IVD by the participating VIOs. At the end of the day, the final total of new volunteers recruited during IVD events in Bishkek and the provinces will be announced to the press and public.
The V-EXPO in Bishkek will open with a formal presentation at 10.00 and close with an informal concert at 16.00, including plays, poems and songs on the theme of volunteering, with participation of all VIOs present. To help publicise the V-EXPO, there will be a press conference on 2nd December, and an IVD slot on a national TV Breakfast Show 'Zamana' on 5th December.
In eight other towns and cities in Kyrgyzstan simultaneous events to mark International Volunteer Day will take place. In most cities there will be a V-EXPO similar to the one in Bishkek. There will be a wide range of other activities connected with IVD around the country, including in Osh the cleaning of a famous tourist landmark by volunteers, in Naryn an anti-glue sniffing campaign in schools, in Jalal-Abad a mobile celebration of IVD / volunteer recruitment drive using four local buses and in Batken a TV show and Radio phone-in.
These events are initiated and funded by UNV, and supported by the Ministry of Education Department for Youth Policy, with active collaboration of the following VIOs: Peace Corps, JICA, Red Cross and Red Crescent, Habitat for Humanity, HelpAge International, Rotary Club. In addition a wide range of local VIOs, and university volunteer centres, will participate.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/

States Push Parity Forward
Mental health parity has been the issue at heart with many mental health advocates over the years. The US Congress has taken up the issue for many years, but has yet to pass a comprehensive bill that will help enable individuals to get the care they need and deserve for their recovery from debilitating mental illness. Fortunately state legislatures often step up and pass legislation that requires parity in their state. Two such states have recently taken up this issue and are moving forward in making parity a reality.
Washington Govenor Christine Gregoire signed mental health parity into law on March 10th. As she signed the legislation she stated, " This truly represents a great leap forward in the health of Washingtonians. When we fail to treat mental illnesses in the same way we treat illnesses of the body, it costs everybody." The new law will be phased in over four years starting in 2006.
An actuarial analysis prepared by Ronald Bachman of PricewaterhouseCoopers and paid for by Revelle's coalition concluded the measure would increase average premiums by 1.1 percent, or $2.93, a member, a month. This percentage is in line with what other studies and analysis have shown about the cost of implementing parity. What these costs never show is the savings from less lost time, less days missed at work, and increased productivity by individuals in recovery. Read the full story about mental health parity in Washington in the Seattle Times. (Opens in a new browser window)
In Iowa, a bill has passed the House of Representatives and is moving on to the Senate requiring insurance to cover treatment for biologically based mental illness, which by definition covers schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar, schizoaffective, obsessive-compulsive, pervasive development and autistic disorders. The Senate could possibly modify the bill since Iowa Democrats wish to include much broader language which includes covering substance abuse disorders as well.

As part of diabetes nutrition, artificial sweeteners can offer the sweetness of sugar without the calories. Artificial sweeteners may help you reduce calories and stick to a healthy meal plan — especially when used instead of sugar in coffee and tea, on cereal, or in baked goods. In fact, artificial sweeteners are considered free foods because they contain very few calories and don't count as a carbohydrate, a fat or any other food in your meal plan.
Examples of artificial sweeteners include:
Artificial sweeteners don't necessarily offer a free pass for sweets.
Two naturally derived sweeteners, stevia (Truvia, Pure Via) and agave nectar, offer another option when it comes to sweetening your food. Keep in mind that the sugar-to-sweetener ratio is different for each product, so you may need to experiment until you find the taste you like. Also, agave nectar isn't calorie- or carbohydrate-free, so it shouldn't be considered for weight loss; but it has a lower glycemic index than does sugar, so it won't affect your glucose level as much.
Diabetes nutrition doesn't have to mean no sweets. If you're craving them, ask a registered dietitian to help you include your favorite treats into your meal plan. A dietitian can also help you reduce the amount of sugar and fat in your favorite recipes. And don't be surprised if your tastes change as you adopt healthier eating habits. Food that you once loved may seem too sweet — and healthy substitutes may become your new idea of delicious.

on December 21, 2012 - 1:00 AM
This summer I experienced the second seven-year itch of my career. It was a sign that is was time to move back to Western New York. I grew up in Williamsville and Clarence. Upon graduating from Cornell University, I embarked on a career that took me to Durham, N.H., Chicago, Seattle and Phoenix.
On Labor Day weekend, I took a one-way red-eye from Phoenix to Buffalo. After 16 years, it was a weird feeling to not have a return ticket. It also felt liberating. I was going home, and happy about the prospect of a new career.
My family moved here in 1979 and I always visited three times a year, but I wondered when I would return for good. Buffalo tugged at my heart strings. I grew to dread red-eyes and lengthy layovers for summer vacation and family holidays.
For several years I worked in public relations for the Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics and Seattle Storm basketball franchises. It was an interesting journey working with the Bulls during their sixth NBA Championship in 1998, and the Sonics, coordinating media relations with an intriguing medley of NBA stars such as Gary Payton, Patrick Ewing and Ray Allen. I was part of an expansion Storm team that grew to win the 2004 WNBA title.
After the basketball seasons were over, I realized I didn't have a work-life balance due to the long hours at arenas and traveling with the teams. It was great to see the country, but it was never for sightseeing and came at the expense of maintaining a social life.
When I wanted a change in 2005, I ventured to the desert for career expansion with an advertising agency and a municipality parks and recreation department.
There were highlights that kept me "sentimentally engaged" with Western New York. I saw the Bills play the Bears at Solider Field in 1998, beat the Seahawks in Seattle in the 2004 finale and fall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2008. I saw the Sabres play the Phoenix Coyotes four consecutive years. It was inspiring to see many transplants, retirees and visitors congregate on enemy turf. It was nice to have lunch at the Ted's Hot Dogs near Arizona State University once in a while for a taste of home.
During the early years of my career, I had no worries, vision or the benefits of experience that I have acquired since then. I am a townie and gave it a shot in a few big cities. Now I am at a personal and career crossroads, having to develop a new professional and social network. It was a voluntary decision to resign from my public-sector position in Arizona, sell my house and move back. I have faith in this market and look forward to diving into my next position very soon.
I am just as excited and optimistic as I was in 1997 when I was green, enthusiastic and working nights and weekends because I loved sports.
I embrace change, though it always brings risk and challenges. Starting over in different cities was difficult. I missed family, friends, experiencing the change of seasons and the cultural offerings. It is great to be back in a familiar environment, and I am glad I took the plunge.
I've had a couple of interviews and if all goes well, I am hopeful that my shuffling days outside of Buffalo are over. I already know it was the best decision for my future, and I won't be stuck at an O'Hare terminal on Christmas Eve.

Still screamin' about ice cream
April 23, 2007 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
I received the following post from one of my blog readers about feeding dogs ice cream:
Interestingly enough, according to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association "this does not mean that milk is unhealthy for dogs and cats. On the contrary, in pets that are able to tolerate it, milk can be an excellent source of protein and calcium."
**Update: Special thanks to "irishbrenna02" post!: Jesse would LOVE Purina's Frosty Paws that Wal-Mart is carrying...in the freezer with people ice cream. Our dogs Rocker (black lab) & Buddy (jack russell mix) LOVE them and they're full of protein just for doggies.
As always the NO-NO LIST of people foods poisonous to dogs remains:

The event will be held at a private home and is not open to the public.
Giffords, 42, sharing a Facebook post from her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, after the Dec. 14 school shootings, said that the time was now to begin a national dialogue on strengthening gun control. This week, she and Kelly met with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a staunch gun-control proponent, on the issue.
"As we mourn, we must sound a call for our leaders to stand up and do what is right," Kelly said.
"This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence The children of Sandy Hook Elementary School and all victims of gun violence deserve leaders who have the courage to participate in a meaningful discussion about our gun laws – and how they can be reformed and better enforced to prevent gun violence and death in America. This can no longer wait."
Giffords left Congress in 2012 to focus on her recovery from a gunshot wound to the head. Jared Loughner, who killed six people during a shooting spree and wounded 15 others, was sentenced to life in prison last November.

The Hilbert College men's basketball team captured its first regular season championship in school history on Saturday in a thrilling 79-75 overtime victory over La Roche.
Hilbert, which earned its first 20-win season, also clinched the top seed and will host the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championships on Friday and Saturday.
Anthony Hodge led Hilbert with 23 points, five assists and three steals, all game highs. Trevor Stark was 7 for 9 from the floor, hitting key three-point shots down the stretch to finish with 20 points.
In overtime, La Roche's David Jackson tied the game at 73 with 1:20 left before the Hawks took the lead for good on a Hodge layup with 54 seconds remaining.
La Roche pulled within a basket at 77-75 on a Lionel Perkins layup with 10 seconds left then Perkins fouled Stark, who sank two free throws with eight seconds remaining to seal the victory.
La Roche's Derek Barber-Richards forced the first tie in regulation with a layup at the 2:03 mark. Owens converted a bucket off a Stark assist before Jackson forced another tie at 65. Dan McFarland's two free throws put the Hawks up again but Barber-Richards forced overtime after scoring on a put back.
The Hawks on Friday will face the winner of Tuesday's game between No. 4 seed Medaille and No. 5 Mount Aloysius.
Elsewhere, three D'Youville players finished in double figures, led by Marcus Clarke with 19 points, as the Spartans closed the 2012-13 season with a 84-68 home loss to Mount Aloysius. D'Youville finished the season 4-21 overall.

'Sesame Street' tackles divorce
Published 3:41 PM CST Dec 12, 2012
"Sesame Street" is tackling divorce for the first time.
The children's program put together a video for kids explaining divorce and how some children may live "in two houses."
The video stars character Abby Cadabby.
PBS said nearly 40 percent of children experience the divorce of their parents. The video is geared to children ages 2-8.
"Sesame Street" tried to approach the topic of divorce in the late 1990s, but during testing many kids were bothered by the video.

quote: As for the battery itself, two kinds of insulation were added: an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator, which will wrap around/below each battery cell to keep them away from each other and the battery case.
quote: To be fair, if you look at pics of the battery which caught fire, the battery is destroyed but the external case appears pristine. So apparently it had adequate fire and smoke containment (not so sure about the venting). In that respect there was no danger to the plane.
quote: The problem was the batteries weren't supposed to catch fire in the first place, but they had two incidents within the first few months of service. Which led to a reassessment of the fire risk, forcing a redesign which assumed a higher frequency of fire. So now they're adding things like isolating different cells from each other so a fire doesn't spread as easily between cells.

The aggravated-assault case against Altoona Police patrol officer Matthew J. Plummer has remained a topic of significant public interest, as evidenced by the comments of Mirror readers in letters to the editor, as well as in the discussion among city residents that the case has spawned.
That's understandable. Police officers should not be the ones facing criminal charges.
But Plummer's predicament has brought up an issue that this city appears to be addressing properly.
That revolves around the premise that police officers, although they should be held to a higher standard by virtue of their positions, are human beings who have private lives of their own and should not be subject to unfair restrictions.
That's why city Police Chief Janice Freehling was correct early-on when she rejected any notion of a policy change to restrict the actions of off-duty officers.
And, Freehling's decision was rightly backed up by City Councilman Mike Haire, who pointed out that public employees have freedoms and rights as citizens to do "pretty much what they want on their time off, as long as it doesn't interfere with their jobs."
Haire doubts that any such restrictions would stand up in court, and he's probably right.
Still, people everywhere want to be confident in their police protection, not have doubts about the character of the individuals hired to uphold the law, ensure their safety and otherwise protect the public interest.
Even after the Plummer case has passed through the criminal justice system, and even if Plummer is exonerated, the stigma on the police department stemming from the case isn't likely to dissipate completely.
That has been the experience with the case involving two Altoona officers, one who currently is serving prison time, for an incident in 2010 at a local bar.
Plummer, 27, was arrested by the Hanover Township, Washington County, police after a concert Sept. 7 at the First Niagara Pavilion.
He is accused of punching a man who "mooned" a bus carrying police personnel and their families. The man also might have thrown a bottle that allegedly struck the bus.
Plummer was jailed for a short time after the incident before posting bond. According to an article in the Sept. 12 Mirror, a preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday before Magisterial District Judge Gary H. Havelka of Washington County.
Since the incident, Plummer has been assigned to desk duty. After a city council executive session on Sept. 10, interim City Manager Omar Strohm read a statement indicating that the city will take "appropriate action" after disposition of the criminal charges.
Officials didn't specify what consequences were being considered.
But the bottom line remains: This city isn't trying - and shouldn't be trying - to slap restrictions on police officers' off-duty time.
At the same time, police officers, off duty as well as on duty, must remain cognizant of the fact that their individual actions reflect not only on their department but also on their fellow officers.
As the upcoming court proceedings near, members of the public are continuing to judge Plummer's actions on the basis of their own individual perceptions of what they feel is - or should be - acceptable police conduct.
That's to be expected.
Like the case involving the 2010 bar incident, recollections of the Plummer case will resurface in the unfortunate event a police officer of this city ever again faces charges of performing duties in a way contrary to proper conduct, or acting improperly while off the clock.

The Goose Creek Gators have guaranteed themselves a shot at second place in Region 7-AAAA.
The Gators swept both region matchups against Cane Bay this week, winning 1-0 and 7-2 to improve to 4-2 in the region standings.
They can't catch West Ashley for first place but meet Wando in a three-game series (April 21, 23 and 25) that will determine the runner-up and at least one home playoff game.
The Gators' 7-2 win over CBHS on April 9 guaranteed a spot in the playoffs and was more of a complete effort.
"It was the first time (in region) that we decided to put some hitting and pitching together," GCHS coach Chris Pond said.
The Gators (8-6) had 10 hits, three by Bryce Jonason and two by Chris Singleton, in the win. Zach Owens and Cody Smith drove in two runs apiece.
Goose Creek gave starting pitcher Tyler Rio all the help he needed in the second inning. The Gators scored five times to take control.
Rio (4-2, 3.13 ERA) tossed 5.2 innings, scattering four hits and working around five walks. He struck out four batters. Jonason got the final four outs, allowing one run on one hit.
The Gators added single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.
Cane Bay's lone two runs came in the fourth and seventh innings.
Tanner Coleman took the loss for Cane Bay, scattering eight hits in five innings. He allowed four earned runs and walked three while striking out one.
Billy Detyens was the lone Cobras player with two hits. Jacob Page and Cody Maw had the RBIs for the Cobras.
Cane Bay meets Stratford (April 21, 23, 25) in its final regular season games.
In Goose Creek's Game 1 win, 1-0, over Cane Bay on April 8, Smith tossed a shutout and Rio's solo blast to center in the bottom of the fourth inning accounted for the lone run of the game.
Smith (2-2, 2.42 ERA) struck out five batters and scattered three hits against the Cobras. Gators catcher Christian Sillanpa was the only player for either team with two hits. Cane Bay had a runner cut down at the plate in the top of the sixth inning and then went in order in the seventh inning.
"We've been getting great pitching," Pond said. "We haven't had enough hits. It's hard to win games with four or five hits unless the pitcher is lights out. They're not going to be perfect every day. We've got to have some hitting and make the routine plays in the field too."
On the season, Singleton leads all Gators hitters with a .467 batting average, while Sillanpa is batting .381.
Since giving up five earned runs, and nine total, against Hanahan on March 12, Smith has allowed just one earned run over his last three starts, a span of 20 innings. He's fanned 35 batters during the stretch.
"He's a different Cody Smith than he was (against Hanahan)," Pond said. "I just told him some times pitchers are going to get hit."
Third pitcher Bryce Jonason (0-0) has a 2.12 ERA and one save. Both Cane Bay and Hanahan will participate in the annual HIT tournament over spring break after a non-region game against each other on Friday.

Globi tells you a bit about nature and shows you some impressive things: activities such as looking for animal tracks, identifying the skins of regional animals, throwing fir cones, watching the clouds and running barefoot over different natural ground coverings all turn a normal walk into a real walking adventure.
Children not only have fun while they're doing this, but they can learn a lot at the same time. And the goes for their accompanying adults. For some questions and puzzles, the whole family has to discuss them before the right answer can be found. And on top of all this, the highland walk offers some beautiful views.
You can choose your preferred route from 7 options. The blue section is quite easy with a baby buggy (downhill), but more strenuous going uphill.

Let us admit it fairly, as a business people should,
We have had no end of a lesson: it will do us no end of good.
-from Rudyard Kipling's "The Lesson"
Kipling's poem recounts how a forgotten war should have taught Britain lessons about its military and imperial governance, and, in the same manner, Bill O'Brien's two-year tenure should have taught Nittany Nation lessons of its own.
He taught us that college football is a dirty business full of enough avarice and self-dealing to make a Wall Street banker cringe.
Contracts don't matter. Commitments mean nothing, and anything is acceptable, provided it makes you better off or is part of your life-long dream.
That is the sport's guiding ethos, and it's best that the students and players learn it as soon as they can.
We also learned that in such an environment, it is best to be skeptical and keep things at arm's length - to not appear too excited, lavish praise before it is earned and, most important, to not pay up front.
Bill O'Brien was one sharp dealer for sure. He taught us about our culture, too. We love the self-promoting swell who's the epitome of cool - even if he is a consummate jerk - and we hate the plodding square who honors his commitments and discharges his duties.
We all know it's better to be friends with the cool guy than the smart guy, and no one is cooler than Bill O'Brien today. The media and bloggers all say so.
Most of all, O'Brien taught us about ourselves and that the NCAA was right about one thing: It was all about football for us. We saw the massive failures in corporate governance at Penn State, the obscene spectacle of the sport, the lack of rigor in the education, the exorbitant cost of it all and the crushing debts for us and our children needed to pay for it.
In short, we saw the rot that has invaded all of higher education, of which Penn State is only one example. We saw it, had an opportunity to reform it and did nothing. Some teary-eyed, chest thumping sentiments and an 8-4 season banished those troubling thoughts and had us dreaming of bowl games and championships to come.
Thinking about issues is work and the complexities of reform are nothing to the intricacies of that shiny new offense on the field.
So, as Bill O'Brien packs his family into their van and heads for hot, humid Houston, let us heartily clap him on the back and say, "Thank you!" for he's given us no end of a lesson, if we're only willing to learn.
If we are willing to learn - if we can learn - then with a lot of hard work and the better part of a decade, we might have something worthy of the name "Pennsylvania State University."

O'Brien lied to players, community
Are any of us really shocked by Bill O'Brien's abrupt departure from Penn State?
There is really nothing abrupt about this. I personally have no problem with a coach wanting to further his career and have a dream to coach in the NFL. What I do have a problem with is lying about your commitments. O'Brien lied to the PSU community, his players and most recently, new recruits.
Two years ago, he was welcomed here with open arms. T-shirts were printed with his name and were worn all over campus. He was praised for his coaching abilities - and rightly so - and for coming into such a difficult situation.
I must be missing why he recently made such harsh comments about Paterno loyalists. This was his football team, and I myself threw my support behind him and his new program. Perhaps something went wrong somewhere, and maybe we will find out why he bailed. Maybe there is a larger issue here.
I do wish to close my comments to this man with this statement: Because you lied and left before you fulfilled what you said you would, don't let the Nittany Lion's tail hit you on your way out of town.
Lori Wiedemer
Coach followed mentor's lead
"A man's word is his bond." "A man is only as good as his word."
Sadly, these are ideals that are no longer true.
Case in point: Bill O'Brien, former head coach at PSU. Up until a month ago, O'Brien was quoted as saying, "I'm not leaving."
In fact, he was miffed at questions and comments brought up by those he called, "Paterno people" when it came to anything concerning his tenure as head coach. But why are we surprised? Wasn't O'Brien an underling of the infamous Bill Belichick - a coach known for the biggest cheating scandal in national football history?
I can see he learned well from Belichick. It was evident as he told possible recruits for the Penn State football team that he was staying at PSU. I'm not sure either man knows the meaning of truth and honor.
But it's all for naught, and Penn State will once again be looking to fill a void that no one can fill, and I don't mean the one left by O'Brien.
There will never be another Joe Paterno.
So I'll close with another saying that perhaps fits this situation best: "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
Vickie Harbula
PSU gambled, lost
Let's all get this right: Bill O'Brien knew he wanted to go into the NFL as a head coach from the start while taking the head coaching job at Penn State, and Penn State knew that he wanted to ultimately go back to the NFL as a head coach but gambled on him anyway - hoping that once he settled in he would have a change of heart.
Well, we know now that he never intended on staying at Penn State. He was entertaining thoughts of jumping ship after the first year. Knowing he never intended to stay anyway, why did he take the job in the first place?
He did an injustice to Penn State. Everyone believed in this guy, and all along he had his own agenda. Well, he's moving on, and we should all move on and hope that the powers that be at Penn State do better this next time around in selecting a coach who doesn't have the NFL on his mind from the start.
Mike Rago, Altoona
Let Giger, Les Hart run program
I enjoyed Neil Rudel's fly-over commentary. But he forgot to fly over the real coaches that Penn State should hire.
They live right here.
Penn State should not worry about replacing Bill O'Brien with a present college coach. The perfect coach lives right in Altoona. Over the past number of years, this character has demonstrated that he knows everything about everything. He knew everything that Coach Paterno should have done at Penn State during Paterno's tenure, and he even had a few suggestions for Coach O'Brien during his short term.
Yes, this omniscient savant is none other than the Mirror's own Cory Giger.
Since he knows everything about everything, recruiting would be no problem for him: Recruits would flock to play for him. Since he always knows what to do with regard to football game management, he would never make the mistakes that he told us Paterno and O'Brien did. He would surely produce an NCAA championship team immediately.
For his first assistant, another all-knowing sports strategist lives right in our area. This is none other than Les Hart of Duncansville, who also has shown over the years that he knows everything about everything regarding Penn State sports. (Actually, we need less of Les in the Mirror.)
Another benefit of hiring these two know-it-alls is that during the winter offseason in their spare time they could easily take over the Penn State men's basketball program, since their encyclopedic knowledge would allow them to produce nothing but championship teams and would save the costs of a separate basketball coaching staff.
Penn State is really missing the boat if it fails to hire Cory Giger and Les Hart to run its football program. They would certainly be the perfect coaches to take over this struggling program.

'Good riddance, Bill O'Brien'
Bill O'Brien - leaving Penn State. This is front-page news on on Jan. 1 on altoonamirror.com.
Once again, we see where a commitment means nothing. Granted, this has been going on for years. We fans and supporters listened to all the hyperbole about how he was the right person at the time for the job.
A recent article in the Mirror quoted his college coach vowing that after a year, people would be saying how lucky the university was to get a guy like Billy O'Brien. Now I guess he will be saying how lucky the Houston Texans are. If this is luck, he can keep it. It's always about the money.
I realize there are many people saying what a great asset he has been to the university and the football team, how he loved the school and the area.
In my opinion, he has passed on to these young men that a contract means nothing.
You could say he did stay for two years. I say the only reason he stayed the extra year was his buyout clause was almost three times more last year than now. Hopefully, the next coach will give more than one year to his first recruiting class.
I say good riddance, Bill O'Brien.

Allow Sunday hunting, once a year
A lot has been said about hunting on Sundays in Pennsylvania, both pro and con. I'm not sure whether the state Legislature or the Game Commission would decide this.
I would like to make a simple request to whomever would make this decision. Please just let us hunters hunt only one Sunday of the year, not the entire fall hunting season. Change the antlered deer rifle season to begin on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and let us hunt the next day, Sunday. Then revert back to the normal schedule.
By doing that, folks that work Monday through Friday and students could hunt the two best days of the deer season without losing any work or school.
A simple compromise could make lots of Pennsylvania folks happy, both hunters and non-hunters.

I have no idea what the judge that gave them the 10's was thinking about. I wouldn't have done that, and they should not have done that.
It was over all, not a great night of skating. Meryl and Charlie started their routine by picking up stuff off the ice, which is never a good sign, and Charlie apparently tripped in a rut. At least that's what he said to Marina, when he came off the ice, and considering it was in a transitional part of the program, he may well have (he wasn't particularly doing anything when he stumbled). I am willing to consider jcoates' interpretation, particularly because I know that my tendency, following the stumble, was to watch Charlie more than Meryl to see whether he was going to have a problem with the twizzles since they followed directly after the stumble, and didn't notice that Meryl had a weak exit from the twizzles (possibly because they were reorganizing the program to get on the right beat for the rhumba sequence 1, which immediately follows the twizzles).
What was interesting is that they patched the program back together in such a way that they got the rhumba started on what looked like to me was the correct beat (at least it was the same beat as at SA). In a night of mostly flubs on the rhumba of one sort or another, I might have been a little more enthusiastic about scoring them than I might in some other case (but not 10's nor 9.75's nor 9.50's). Especially because I was primarily watching Charlie for stumble-effects, and his choctaw on the rhumba was OK both sequences. (The most frequently missed key point this year is AFAIR, the second one, and the problem is often/usually step 12, where the lady's edge is not strong on the right back outside edge).

Early or not, voting is a vital duty
March 2, 2013
Municipal elections will be held Tuesday in Elkins and Belington, giving voters a chance to make their voices heard at the local level....
it's not very hard to figure out that the GOP cannot win outside of there districts and in 2016 Hilary will win easily because the GOP is clearly out of step. They want to cut and detroy all the programs for the poor but don't dare touch defense. People have clearly rejected them in the past two Presidential cycles if they keep itup they will be 0-3 they are a joke!

The GOP is a dying Party full of angry old white men who wish it was 1950 again those days are over, women,blacks, and minorites have rights and are not going backwards so keep talking hate and keep losing elections ask good old Mitt!!!! The list of losers contunes, Mitt, McCain, Palin,Ryan,Perry, Ginrich,Fox news

Early voting is a liberal scheme that has allowed fraud and abuse by them for years. Voter ID is the answer to this abuse of our elections process by cheating, lying liberals. Just search all the Democrats in WV that get caught every election doing it. So libs, you can keep lying all you want...Facts and Reporting is available for all to see you all are in denial and lie so often, no one finds you credible any longer. Hmm...and you wonder why democrats are getting the boot every election. Some already see it coming, like Rockefeller so they QUIT their jobs and resign. Cowards. Spineless when they get caught and the people start forcing them to answer their evilness.

Pure, at least this time you're not really concealing the real reason you don't believe college students should be able to vote where they attend school. It's simply because they traditionally vote Democrat. I doubt you heard anything that you describe. I can see all those WVWC students driving all the way back to Jersey just to vote again. For such a sacred right, you all seem to love playing it to your advantage.

The only people that hate early voting is the GOP and thats because they are losing big with early voting so they try to repress the vote it backfired in 2012 elections they only they have done is energized minorities if you look at Fla people were still voting at 8,9,10pm at night because they cut early voting and the election was over. The republicans are so out of touch it's mind blowing.

ALBANY – A measure to expand tax credits to encourage development of historic properties in Buffalo and other cities and villages will be vetoed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Buffalo News on Wednesday evening that the governor will veto the bill that both houses passed last June and that was a major goal of downtown Buffalo developers.
The Senate sponsor of the measure, Sen. Mark Grisanti, a Buffalo Republican, said this week in an interview that he was less optimistic about the bill's chances because of the fiscal hit on the state by Superstorm Sandy. But an administration source said the veto is not directly about the bill's costs.
"While the governor is supportive of expanding the tax credit and the goals of the bill, it's something he'd like to see addressed during the budget process next year rather than outside," the official said.
The bill was approved three months after the 2012 state budget was approved. State budget officials estimated the higher tax-credit measure would cost the state $20 million in tax revenues in the upcoming fiscal year and $80 million over the following two years.
The measure would raise the current $5 million tax credit for certain historic rehabilitation projects to $12 million – a level that developers in Buffalo and elsewhere feel would encourage rehabilitation of larger residential, office and mixed-used projects. The existing tax credit program, due to expire in 2014, has been used on such projects as the rehabilitation of the Hotel @ the Lafayette downtown.
Grisanti had said he believed the bill would be revenue- neutral for the state because of additional income and sales taxes generated by construction activities.
"I've always been cautiously optimistic, but when you have Hurricane Sandy and the billions of dollars in devastation that it caused, I think the focus has to be making sure we have the money to meet the needs of people who have basically lost everything," Grisanti said.
There were plenty of signs the measure was in trouble with the Cuomo administration.
For starters, Cuomo has in the past vetoed other bills that cost state money when done outside the normal budget process in the early spring.
But the more obvious signal was that the bill was not sent to Cuomo until after last month's elections. Given the close ties Grisanti has enjoyed with Cuomo, it is likely the governor, if he were going to sign the bill, would have done so during the senator's recent re-election campaign. The bill was not sent to the governor until last week, even though the Senate and Assembly passed it in June.
Grisanti said he was given no advance indication of the governor's intentions with the bill. But in an interview Tuesday at the Capitol, he was already laying the groundwork for a new effort to get the measure passed next year.
"So we'd have to go back to the drawing board in January and see what we can do," Grisanti said. He said the governor's budget office earlier this year raised concerns about the bill's costs. One approach, the senator said, might be to lower the $12 million credit proposal or to phase in the hike from $5 million to higher amounts over several years.
Developers – led by Buffalo's Rocco Termini, who rehabilitated the Lafayette – say the tax credits are vital to convince companies to take the financial risks often associated with restoring historic buildings. Business groups backed the idea as a benefit to both cities and villages, especially in blighted areas of upstate.
Grisanti and Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, D-Buffalo, told The Buffalo News in June that Cuomo personally told them he supports the increase in the historic preservation tax credit.
"I believe the governor will sign it, because when I asked him about it, he said he would, so I have no reason to doubt what he said to me. I trust him," Peoples-Stokes said at the time.

"'Fitmodel' estimates the parameters of various codon-based models of substitution, including those described in Guindon, Rodrigo, Dyer and Huelsenbeck (2004). These models are especially useful as they accommodate site-specific switches between selection regimes without a priori knowledge of the positions in the tree where changes of selection regimes occurred.
The program will ask for two input files: a tree file and a sequence file. The tree should be unrooted and in NEWICK format. The sequences should be in PHYLIP interleaved or sequential format. If you are planning to use codon-based models, the sequence length should be a multiple of 3. The program provides four types of codon models: M1, M2, M2a, and M3 (see PAML manual). Moreover, M2, M2a and M3 can be combined with 'switching' models (option 'M'). Two switching models are implemented: S1 and S2. S1 constraints the rates of changes between dN/dS values to be uniform (e.g., the rates of changes between negative and positive selection is constrained to be the same as the rate of change between neutrality and positive selection) while S2 allows for differents rates of change between the different classes of dN/dS values.
If you are using a 'switching' model, 'fitmodel' will output file with the following names: your_sequence_file_trees_w1, your_sequence_file_trees_w2, your_sequence_file_trees_w3 and your_sequence_file_trees_wbest. The w1, w2 and w3 files give the estimated tree with probabilities of w1, w2, and w3 (three maximum likelihood dN/dS ratio estimates) calculated on each edge of the tree and for each site. Hence, the first tree in one of these files reports the probabilities calculated at the first site of the alignment. Instead of probabilities, the wbest file allows you to identify which of the tree dN/dS is the most probable on any give edge, at any given site. A branch with label 0.0 means that w1 is the most probable class, 0.5 indicates the w2 is the most probable and 1.0 means that w3 has the highest posterior probability." (README.txt)

Can't help it: Windows Crashed! Hehe
yes yes...we all saw that joke coming
Looked like concrete block attached to a feather. Did somebody actually think it could fly?
1500 hours for this?
The first images I saw didn't not have that heavy frame at the bottom and it looked very promising, elegant and lightweight. (just like many prototypes, huh?)
Should have waited for the Service pack.
Its still cool they tried, maybe they can try again next year. Congrats anyway, looks like they had fun.
Reminds me of that movie.... Failure To Launch
Not that any of this is serious competition, but isn't bringing your own scaffold to gain extra height kindof cheating anyway?
I only really saw 1 thing fly. Is the hidden joke of the event to just crash well?
That was deeply embarrassing for all involved.
Did she take a dive for the team?
Actually, there's a lot more to it than that...
...no there's not. Funny costumes, crazy contraptions, and spectacular failures. That's about it.
Staceyw, I think that's a fair assessment of this event - "Crashing well" is just as successful as actually flying for the FlugTag challenge. NASCAR anyone?
Congratulations to the Windows Phoenix team! You'll double your distance next year.
