WHEATFIELD – Even as he is seeking a property tax break for his company's new headquarters, the co-owner of Lake Effect Ice Cream said the Lockport artisan ice cream maker may quickly outgrow the site.
Erik M. Bernardi told the board of the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency last week that the business is booming despite efforts by him and partner Jason Wulf to rein it in.
"We're trying to put the brakes on the business in terms of growth so we can live up to our mantra, which is to make sure every step we take is on solid ground," Bernardi said.
But sales have increased 135 percent in the past year, and the arrival of Lake Effect's pints in two Erie County Wegmans stores six weeks ago may has been the tipping point for the business that the two Lockport High School teachers started in their basements five years ago.
Even though the only Weg-mans stores that stock Lake Effect are the locations on Amherst Street in Buffalo and McKinley Parkway in Blasdell, Bernardi said Wegmans already accounts for more than 70 percent of the company's sales, or 3,000 pints a month.
That's true even though Lake Effect also is available at seven Tops stores and several smaller retailers in Niagara, Erie and Orleans counties.
"We may require a full-scale production kitchen, but we have no intention of ever moving from Canal Street," Bernardi said.
The company bought a 2,000-square-foot building at 79 Canal St. from the City of Lockport in November, and won city approval to add 450 square feet to the building, which is to host Lake Effect's production and its successful seasonal retail shop. They will be moving from leased space at 20 Lock St.
Lake Effect applied for a five-year, 100 percent property tax exemption on 79 Canal St. under the terms of the IDA's Opportunity Zone program, meant to assist businesses that locate in the downtown areas of the county's three cities.
The IDA set a public hearing on the request, which would save Lake Effect an estimated $40,000, for 3:30 p.m. March 27 in Lockport City Hall.
The IDA board is to vote April 17 on the proposal, which includes a sales tax exemption for building materials and equipment. Fifteen new part-time jobs are to be added within three years, doubling the company's payroll.
Also, the IDA set a March 27 public hearing in Lockport on a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, or PILOT, request from Diversified Manufacturing, which plans to expand its plant on Ohio Street in Lockport by 47,000 square feet.
President Brian F. Costello said he will be consolidating work and workers from Ipac, an Amherst metal fabricating company he also owns, into the parent Lockport plant, bringing 59 new jobs to Lockport in addition to the 106 workers already there.
The tax abatement would save the company an estimated $515,000 on its $4.8 million project.
The IDA scheduled a public hearing for 3:30 p.m. April 3 in Porter Town Hall on incentives for a $1.5 million expansion of Ki-Po Chevrolet, a Ransomville auto dealership.
President Wayne Wilhelm said General Motors has urged him to expand the Youngstown-Lockport Road business, formerly Bob Krueger Chevrolet.
"They don't require us to do it, but they van revoke our franchise agreement," Wilhelm said. GM could reimburse him for some of the cost, depending on sales. "We have to earn it," Wilhelm said.
The dealership employs 24 people in Ramsomville and plans to add eight jobs.
The 15-year PILOT and sales tax exemptions would save Ki-Po $143,000. If the IDA grants only a 10-year break, the savings would be $112,000.

Pretty much agree with your opinions - however I disagree on Howard, and Hudler...
Howard? Overrated. Let's see how he does with a porous defense where he might actually face a few shots.
Kronwall? Second pairing defenseman on a good team.
Filppula? Third liner. Guess how many times he's scored over 40 points? Once, last year. He has one good year and suddenly he's top 6 material? I don't think so.
Hudler? He's another third liner. Top 6 if he's playing with a good center maybe. Doesn't matter though, he walked.
Quincey? He's never scored more than 38 points in a season and has been a plus player only one time. He's a second or third pairing guy.
I think you're reaching A LOT here. None of these players are elite. Howard is the closest thing to it and even he can be pretty suspect at times.
I personally don't think Howard is over rated as some would think, and I still feel Hudler is a glorified 3rd liner/pp specialist.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The molecular properties of peptides are of keen interest to the biotech industry. Midway between the classic, low molecular weight drugs and the large protein-based biologics, peptides, ranging in size from a few to a few hundred amino acids, perform a variety of vital physiological functions. As such, they represent appealing targets for innovative pharmaceuticals, yet their synthesis has proved daunting. As presentations at two recent symposia demonstrate, new technologies are paving the way for rapid and economical methods of peptide production.
Ron Raines, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, talked about the effects of stereoelectronics on peptide and protein conformation at the Gordon Research Conference on the "Chemistry and Biology of Peptides."
"Collagen comprises one-third of total protein and is the most prevalent component of the extracellular matrix. Twenty-eight different types of collagen composed of at least 46 distinct polypeptide chains have been identified in vertebrates and many other proteins contain collagenous domains."
Indeed, collagen is the major component of skin and other fibrous tissues, and an understanding of the modifications that take place in the course of the aging process are vital for a thorough understanding of how these events affect the longevity of the individual.
This ubiquitous molecule is defined by a structural motif in which three parallel polypeptide strands coil about each other to form a right-handed triple helix. Every third residue of the amino acid sequence of collagen is glycine, so the repeating order is XaaYaaGly. The most common residents of the X and Y positions are proline and hydroxyproline. This sequence of amino acids gives rise to the 3-D conformation of the molecule and endows it with its characteristics of insolubility and durability.
Whole collagen molecules are difficult to study at atomic resolution. As a result, Dr. Raines and his team have focused on peptides to obtain a detailed picture of collagen's 3-D structure. Their investigations have elucidated the role of stereoelectronic effects on peptide and protein conformation, that is, the chemical consequences of orbital overlap, a phenomenon that can play a significant role in the structure and function of organic molecules.
Dr. Raines' studies have also revealed simple mechanisms for the synthesis of long collagen triple helices and fibrils, which in years to come could play an essential role in biomedicine and nanotechnology. Indeed, early animal studies have revealed that synthetic, stronger collagen fibrils can expedite wound healing, anchoring growth factors more effectively and speeding the growth of new skin.
Other investigations by Dr. Raines' lab have revealed that collagen-related molecules can be coated with gold and other conductive metal to form nanowires. In the future these might form constituents of nanodevices that could be used to repair damaged tissues and monitor internal physiological conditions.
Andrei Yudin, Ph.D., professor at the University of Toronto, discussed the properties of natural and synthetic cyclic peptides, molecules that have found utility in a variety of pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Because these structures can act as nanomaterials, imaging agents, and drug candidates, there is great interest in their properties.
Dr. Yudin explained that peptides have a zwitterionic nature, that is, they are both positively and negatively charged, with the amino end of the molecule positive and the C-terminal being negative. So even though cyclization of peptides is not thermodynamically favored, enthalpic contributions from electrostatic and polar interaction can drive the formation of ring structures. In the case of small peptides (<7 amino acids), amphoteric molecules that can behave as both an electrophile and a nucleophile can be used to promote peptide cyclization.
It is well known that conventional activation reagents remove the zwitterionic character of the peptide. To achieve the preferred reaction in a workable timeframe, Dr. Yudin's group employed the "Ugi Reaction," which favors the thermodynamic equilibrium of amide bond formation. Using an amphoteric amino aldehyde, the product is a cyclic peptide molecule that can facilitate the synthesis of peptides with a range of amino acids.
"Amphoteric amino aldehydes have led to the development of a novel peptide macrocyclization process. The resulting molecules possess useful structural features that allow specific modifications such that fluorescent tags, solubilizing groups, and conformation tuning. Given the prevalence of cyclic peptides in chemistry and biology, this operationally simple method should find utility in many areas.
"Furthermore, the method should be adaptable to other linear molecule substrates, leading to a wide range of novel macrocyclic architectures, for instance cyclic oligonucleotides."

Hollidaysburg will be staying very close to home, while a pair of baseball teams from the city of Altoona will be sticking together when the PIAA baseball and softball playoffs get under way on Monday.
The PIAA announced the sites on Friday.
The Golden Tigers will be going just a couple of miles up the road to Peoples Natural Gas Field in Lakemont, site of their District 6 Class AAA baseball championship game win, to meet District 3 consolation game winner West York on Monday at 2 p.m. District 6 Class AA champ Mount Union follows up against South Fayette at 5.
Meanwhile, Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic and Altoona Area High School's baseball squads will be in action in back-to-back games at Butler's Pullman Park. Guilfoyle, which lost to Bishop McCort in the 6-A finals, starts things off at 4 against WPIAL champion Neshannock and Florida State recruit John Sansone.
At 7 p.m., it will be a clash of Class AAAA district champions when the Mountain Lions face District 7's Seneca Valley.
District 5 Class AA winner North Star will be in action at Pullman Park preceding the Altoona schools.
The fourth PIAA baseball qualifier from the Mirror coverage area, Philipsburg-Osceola, will be at Williamsport's Bowman Field to meet the victor of today's District 4 championship game between Loyalsock and South Williamsport. First pitch for that game is scheduled for 4 p.m.
In softball, Bellwood-Antis and Claysburg-Kimmel will start far apart on a road they hope leads to a rematch of their District 6 Class A championship game at Penn State. The Lady Devils return to Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field to meet District 10 champ Saegertown in the second game of a quadrupleheader at 2:30; 6-AA and defending PIAA titlist Philipsburg-Osceola takes the field at 5 against Neshannock.
Claysburg, meanwhile, will have to travel all the way to Bloomsburg University to meet up with District 4 champion Northeast Bradford. That game is slated for 2 p.m.
Central and Chestnut Ridge also will be in action in Class AA. The 6-AA runner-up Lady Dragons are set to go to Brockway for a 3 o'clock first pitch against District 9 champion Cranberry, while the four-time defending District 5 champion Lady Lions are headed to Berks County's Lyons Park to play Kutztown, the District 3 tourney winner, at 5.

Erie man charged with pulling gun on woman
An Erie man was jailed this morning after city police said he pointed a gun at a woman's face on the city's west side.
Jason D. Wells, 33, of the 100 block of East 23rd Street, was arraigned by Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of terroristic threats, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person for an incident that police said happened in the 1600 block of Chestnut Street at about 1:20 a.m. today.
Police accuse Wells of pointing a handgun at a woman while asking her where his wife was, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.
Police said Wells is also being charged by summons with recklessly endangering and disorderly conduct for entering a house and waiving the gun around this morning.
Wells was placed in the Erie County Prison on $10,000 bond after his arraignment.

While there's no word yet on the sex of the baby Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are expecting this October, a source tells PEOPLE the couple are over the moon with happiness.
"They literally could not be more excited," says the source. "She's feeling great."
This will be the first child for Gosling, 33, and Mendes, 40, who began dating in 2011 and, the following year, played parents in the dramatic film The Place Beyond the Pines.
The pregnancy wasn't necessarily surprising to the actor's friends. "Ryan adores kids. He has such a way with them," an insider told PEOPLE last year. "He loves being around kids and can't wait to be a dad."
So, what makes Gosling and Mendes click?
"She's very friendly and approachable. She's also very independent and Ryan is too," the insider adds. "He loves that Eva isn't prissy. She's like a dude. She's outgoing and makes everyone feel great."
The couple most recently worked together on Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River, which premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Well, the web page I asked for a list of Canon's prime lenses didn't list any of the TS lenses, so it would seem that there's some disagreement about whether that is considered a prime lens
Canon is choosing to announce the same day as Red Scarlet.
Quote from: HurtinMinorKey on October 31, 2011, 04:28:34 PMCanon is choosing to announce the same day as Red Scarlet.Canon did not choose the date based upon when Scarlet will be announced. In fact, the opposite is the case:"Not to be outdone, shortly after Canon coyly asked the press to "save the date,†Jim Jannard, the inimitable founder of Red, announced that "Everything you ever wanted to hear from RED regarding Scarlet will be announced Nov. 3 at 6 p.m.†http://www.btlnews.com/crafts/camera/canon-promises-a-historic-global-announcement-nov-3/
Here's why I think some type of hybrid video / DSLR might be introduced on Nov 3rd. It makes ZERO sense to introduce a modern video camera with a mirror. It will get laughed out of the room.The current 5D EOS mount can easily adopt PL mount lenses. The only problem is the mirror. There are modified 7Ds and 5Ds out there that have had the mirror taken out to allow PL mount lenses.With that said, any new Canon camcorder style video camera will be mirrorless and will probably have some type of EOS adaptor since the flange length on mirrorless cameras are really short.. So logic says, if they are introducing a camera that only takes EOS lenses and not PL lenses, it implies that it has a MIRROR. And that means it will be a DSLR or some type of hybrid. There is ZERO chance they are going to put a mirror in a dedicated video camera. That would be so antiquated and dated.With that said, this is a rumors site, so the whole separate EOS and PL mount info could all just be hot air. Nobody will know until that day.
With that said, any new Canon camcorder style video camera will be mirrorless and will probably have some type of EOS adaptor since the flange length on mirrorless cameras are really short..
Here is the scoop on the November 3 announcement by Canon:The camera to be announced will be priced at above $50,000. (body only).How do I know this? Because:1. The president of Canon is flying from Tokyo to Hollywood for the announcement.2. Invitations for the event have only be sent to mainstream studios and other high end studios.3. The public is not invited to the event because there is no room for a big audience in the small room where the announcement will be made in the new Canon offices on the Sunset-Gower studio lot.So based upon these FACTS, sorry to crush your wishful thinking of a $10,000. camera, but this is not a consumer or even pro-sumer or even independent filmmaker event. This is an event for mainstream studios. The camera to be announced is designed to compete with Sony's F65 CineAlta 4K camera, a $65,000 body only camera.Later, next year, you'll hear some trickle down for lesser models at lesser price points with less features. But not on November 3.
And 4k capture is only 11.5 Megapixels; which is done by all current Canon DSLRs excluding the 1D3. So 4k capture isn't that big of a deal for a camera. if it can capture 4k in video format that would be something nice, but would be 5 or 10k and up.

Quote from: Zuuyi on November 01, 2011, 05:17:52 PMAnd 4k capture is only 11.5 Megapixels; which is done by all current Canon DSLRs excluding the 1D3. So 4k capture isn't that big of a deal for a camera.Simply having a bazillion pixels on the image sensor is not the same as being able to pull image off those pixels for 24, 30, or even 60 frames per second. Have another look at DSLR shooting rates if you don't think this is the case - none of even the top-end cameras come close to 24 frames per second, and the shutter / mirror mechanism is not the only limiting factor here - the electronics are. The data throughput potential of the system, to be exact.This is part of the reason why the news about the 1D X not skipping lines on the sensor is such big news - getting information from every portion of the sensor rather than just skipping lines to save data throughput (from the image sensor to the CPU, mainly) and processing time (as the CPU combines adjacent pixels from the image sensor into one pixel - remembering that this is done across lines, so this might be a call out to slightly slower off-CPU RAM, as opposed to a simple addition or multiplication on the CPU combining two data points that are "next to each other" in the data stream) is very expensive computationally.4K stills - yeah, that's not a big deal (anymore - it wasn't too long ago that even stills didn't reach that resolution, and buying a camera with 4K resolution is still not dirt cheap). 4K video is a whole 'nother ballgame.

FREMONT - It wasn't perfect, but it was the closest anyone's ever come, and that was about the only thing close about it.
Sophomore Wes Pipher out-kicked junior teammate Jason Willman over the final stretch to narrowly capture the individual crown and only Old Fort's Marcus Meyers' third kept Seneca East from a perfect score of 15 Saturday as the Tigers sailed past runner-up Hopewell-Loudon 18-73 at the Midland Athletic League Championships.
"My assistant coaches did some research on lowest score ever in the boys meet and it was 19 points and we scored 18. The Meyer kid kind of broke up our perfect score," Seneca East coach Doug Mason said with a laugh, "but he's a good runner, he's having a great season, and we obviously had a great day."
The Tigers had to look amongst themselves for the greatest challenge, and that played out right until the end, with Pipher outracing Willman to win in 16:24.67. Willman finished in 16:24.91.
"I feel great being able to beat him," Pipher said, adding he knows Willman will look to return the favor at the district meet. 'He's got that competitiveness. He got beat, so he'll come back next week and just push me even harder, like I'll push him."
It's just the latest example of a team-wide competitive streak, Mason said.

"If you came to our practices and watched how competitive it is, what you saw there at the end, that's the way practice is every day amongst our team," he said. "That's one of the reasons why we're a good team, our practices. They're competitive kids. They get abused and get beat by one another, and it's just from day to day, and that's why we do have a very good team."
It showed Saturday.
Sophomore Carson Pipher (16:35.24), sophomore Jared Stockmaster (16:43.83) and senior Karl Burgderfer (16:56.07) clocked in fourth through sixth, with sophomore Bryce Watson's 10th (17:31.48) and sophomore Michael Szabo's 18th (18:00.26) rounding out the Seneca East varsity.
It marked the second week in a row where the team's top five finished in the top six individually, and Saturday's effort had that group all within a 32-second window.
"You don't see that much in cross country meets, that kind of team domination, and it's one of the reasons why we're ranked third in the state and we feel we have a chance at a state trophy," Mason said.
"That's what we're going to have to have, we're going to have to have a pack time like we did today [if we want a state title]," he said.
The honors didn't end there for the Tigers.
The meet's top eight runners gained first-team honors, with the second eight getting second-team and those finishing 17th through 24th landing on the honorable mention list.
All seven varsity Tigers picked up awards, along with two other teammates - Robby Schaffer (18:11.37) and Brady McWilliams (18:11.75) ran 23rd and 24th.
"That's pretty good for us, so not only did our top guys have a good day, those guys had a great day," Mason said.
"They work just as hard and they get better because they practice every day with that group of kids," he said. "It really goes with the depth and the quality of kids and how hard they work. To get nine guys all-conference says a lot about them."
Meanwhile, Chet Swartzmiller captured seventh (17:22.62) and Robert Kniss came in 13th (17:44.57) to fuel Hopewell-Loudon's runner-up finish.
Patric Gase added a 16th (17:53.1) for the Chieftains, Marcus Ardner came in 19th (18:02.92) and Ryan Depinet took 22nd (18:08.42).
"They ran well. Their places were good," H-L coach Marie Coleman said. "All but my No. 12 guy ran faster today than they did at the St. Joe Invite [on the same course] a week and a half ago, so we're moving in the right direction.
"It's always important to get that little motivation, the feeling that you're heading in the right direction," she said.
Carey held off Old Fort 93-98 for third, followed by Calvert (132), Mohawk (151), Lakota (164), North Baltimore (235) and Fremont St. Joe (256).
Ben Kromer's 11th (17:36.75) and Brayden Leist's 14th (17:52.68) paced Carey. Zach Logsdon added a 17th (17:56.54) to also gain league honors for the Blue Devils.
Meyers crossed the line third in 16:33.34 to top Old Fort. Brad Bannister added a ninth (17:30.57) and Donald Young came in 20th (18:04.41).
Austin Schultz of Calvert claimed 12th (17:41.96) and Ren Boehler took 21st (18:07.64).
Mohawk's Alex Hoerig ran 15th (17:52.87) and Jarred Shellhouse ended 29th (18:28.47).
Zac Baker gave Lakota a 32nd (18:32.03) and Luke Baker ended 34th (18:41.23).
St. Wendelin and New Riegel did not field full teams.
Jorden Nye ran eighth (17:24.04) for St. Wendelin, and New Riegel's Caleb Welly came in 39th (19:08.82).

During a Thursday interview with GoHatters.com, Chelsea Whalley couldn't help but smile. In fact, the Hatter senior was so excited to be talking about this year's softball team, by the end of the six minute conversation she said she had given herself goose bumps.
"I think everyone is really buying into the idea of the team this year," Whalley said. "You hear people constantly picking each other up, saying things like, 'no one better than you,' or 'you've got that curve ball.' All the little things add up to the fact that we truly believe in each other to the depths of our core, and it's the most amazing feeling. I have never been on a team like this. It's fantastic."
Whalley will help lead red-hot Stetson (15-6) south to Fort Myers for the start of Atlantic Sun Conference play this weekend as the Hatters face defending league champion Florida Gulf Coast (17-9) in a three-game series. The teams will play a doubleheader at 2 p.m. Saturday and a single game at 2 p.m. Sunday.
To say Whalley is having a career season would be an understatement. In her first three seasons combined, Whalley batted .213 with a total of four home runs and 16 RBI. In the first 21 games her senior year she is batting .345 with a team-high six home runs and 25 runs batted in.
Why such a drastic turnaround?
"I think a couple things have taken place that has improved her game," head coach Frank Griffin said. "One is that she is playing with a lot more confidence, and two, I think she has found that she can be successful hitting backside. That is something I try to teach all the kids because when you get to this level, taking it to the opposite field is a lot easier than pulling it. Some of them buy into it and some of them don't. I think Chelsea sees it."
The left-handed hitting Whalley certainly wore out the left side of the field on Wednesday against Colgate, hitting two opposite field doubles and a pair of home runs that threatened to take out the HatterVision camera located in the left field bleachers.
The Calgary native will be the first to agree that she is playing with a lot more confidence, but she also credits her turnaround to the new strength and conditioning program that was instituted this season.
"This past fall is the first time we ever did any sort of Olympic lifting," Whalley said. "Olympic lifting is a very specific power movement that works with concepts of triple extension and basically it increases your force production. I have always lifted hard no matter what it was but I had never done explosive power training like this.
"Within three weeks of being on that program, my mentality towards training, my mentality towards my sport, everything heightened, like it came to this new level," Whalley added. "I was training like an elite athlete and now I had to play like an elite athlete."
Whalley says she put extra time in the weight room in the fall because after her first three seasons, she knew she was not guaranteed a starting position. She also said the Strength and Conditioning Coach Brad Lokey helped her from a mental standpoint as well.
"Coach Lokey told me, 'You think too much, you need to stop. Don't think about this rep, attack this rep,'" Whalley said. "Coach (Bataille) has been telling me to attack balls for three years and finally this year it clicked. Everything all the coaches have been saying has been intertwined; it is the same message. Be aggressive and attack, whether it is in the weight room or on the field."
Whalley has been clicking, and so have her teammates. The Hatters have won nine straight games, and 14 of their last 15 overall. Compared to the 21-game mark last season, Stetson has hit 11 more doubles, three more triples, and seven more home runs in 2013.
"We crushed some weights (in the fall)," Whalley said. "We all worked really hard. Every single person, in the span of 6-8 weeks started to see little improvements on the field, but around the 12-week mark, that's when we started see explosive results. The ball was just jumping off the bat and when girls would hit home runs we would say, 'That's coach Lokey'."
"The softball team has a great appreciation for being in (the weight room) and has a great respect for the knowledge that we brought to the program," Lokey said. "The work ethic from the team overall has been immaculate, it's really been amazing. I feel we are a very small piece of the puzzle, but I do feel that it is a piece of the puzzle. I am glad that they have been able to see the results of the training, and I'm glad it has been successful for them up to this point. I hope it continues to grow."
Whalley, who is interning with the strength and conditioning department, pointed out that lifting as a team has another key benefit besides improved performance.
"I believe that's where we started to build all our team chemistry," Whalley said. "The training gets so mentally tough, you really need your team right behind you. We would go into 'beast' mode, yelling at each other every rep, saying 'you got this, you can do it!'"
That positivity has carried over onto the field, especially in Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of Colgate where the Hatters had to rally from behind on four separate occasions.
"I had no worries in our game (Wednesday) even when we were losing 5-0," Whalley said. "I don't even know how to explain it. In the fourth inning I wasn't nervous. In the fifth inning I was like, "let's do it." We just turned a switch."
Griffin was also excited to see the Hatters rally Wednesday and says the players appear to be pulling for each other really well.
"The chemistry on this team seems to be real good and I think Chelsea is a big part of that," Griffin said.
This weekend will be the team's first time playing in the new three-game conference series format. All three games will be broadcast (audio only) on GoHatters.com. Fans can also follow the action with live stats, twitter updates, and Hat-Alerts text messages.

I presumed that we would vote this way as so many don't comment in these forums that are pro-enforcer. However, a poll was needed. Well over 200 votes were tallied. Very significant and I am impressed by the activity of these forums on a daily basis.
Now, I am NOT the type of fan that jumps to conclusions after two games. Those that think the Red Wings will not make the playoffs this year are delusional. Two games, in Sweden mind you, is not even close to an accurate representation of our team's year. We WILL make the playoffs. However, I do think you see a couple of things happening. Let me hypothesize for you; using my great intellect, wisdom, hockey knowledge, and superior intelligence.
Here are my predictions:
1. The NHL has found its way around the obstruction rules. They are working to eliminate the needless hooks, etc. However, old school pre-lockout hockey is returning. Hence, you will see the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leaves return to the playoffs this year, with the intimidating factor in mind.
2. The Red Wings WILL once again carry an enforcer this year (Brad May). It won't be every game, but on a 1/3rd game basis. The symptoms are evident that the Red Wings illness is a lack of tenacity/ tougness. Big Rig cannot be asked to fight (period), Franzen has to quit with his 2 minute roughings or he will end up hurt, and our skilled forwards will benefit from the added security.
3. I will predict now that in games that we carry an enforcer/ May; we will have a winning percentage of 15% higher than those games that one is not dressed.
Now, doing my part to support LGW and drawing hits to the site, I will sit back with my Martini (Vodka/ Dirty of course) and watch this thread turn into a 10+ page thread.
The anti-enforcers, whom did I mention were outvoted, will try to ignore this thread. Yet, they will be our best customers.

Hi Louis, Would it be possible to have a Calendar on the Site - say with a Tab for it?
I'm thinking of it for the marking down of 'real world' events and meetups - like the Whoovers in the UK and the New York meetups etc. etc.
Something like this one I just saw on Wordpress Tavern:-
Cheers, daveac
Yeah, this is one of the features which was built into the previous CMS which is not in the new CMS. But I have been looking into other options in form of 3rd party modules that could give us calendars and/or events on the site. It won't be exactly like what we had on the previous site though.
The same thing goes with web links ("Web Resources" on our previous site).

Just as he had hundreds, if not thousands, of times before, Frederick Gelsey Sr. looked into the eyes of a criminal this week and offered hope and forgiveness.
But this time, delivering that message came amid personal grief. And this criminal, like no other, exacted an overwhelming price.
Gelsey forgave the man who killed his son.
For two decades, the pastor at One in Christ Temple on Buffalo's East Side has traveled to jails and prisons across Western New York ministering to inmates.
Tuesday, Gelsey stood in an Erie County courtroom and delivered a message of hope and forgiveness to Wayne P. Vance, 30, of Briscoe Avenue, who had already pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for fatally shooting Frederick Gelsey Jr., 31, on Dec. 28.
Before Vance learned his sentence, he listened as Gelsey read his victim impact statement.
"I wake up with him on my mind, and I wonder if it will go away, the pain of losing my son," Gelsey said. "I don't know, but I do know this, I will never get the opportunity to see my son walk through the doors of my home or of my church."
And then Gelsey spoke to Vance.
" 'What am I going to do now?' I ask myself," Gelsey continued. "What would Fred do? I don't know, but I'm going to forgive you, Wayne. I refuse to carry hurt with me for the rest of my life."
It can be hard to find forgiveness in a courtroom. "It's rare, and I've been on the bench 25 years," said Erie County Judge Michael F. Pietruszka, who presided at Vance's sentencing.
Pietruszka sentenced Vance to 23 years in prison, a small break from the 25-year maximum term because his guilty plea showed he accepted responsibility and spared the victim's family a trial.
Gelsey, 61, has ministered to inmates for two decades. He has welcomed several ex-cons to the congregation of his Pentecostal church at 938 Broadway, a block from the Broadway Market.
Gelsey's past helps him relate to inmates. Gelsey himself spent 17 of his younger years in and out of prison, mostly for larcenies, burglaries and robberies to buy drugs. A religious conversion in the 1980s changed his life.
"I can relate to what they're going through," he said.
But after his son's violent death, "I felt the victim side," Gelsey said.
Gelsey leads a Bible study group Tuesday nights at the Erie County Correctional Facility.
He's at Wende Correctional Facility, a maximum-security state prison, every first Saturday of the month to pray with inmates. He received Wende's Volunteer of the Year award in 2000. He also has ministered to inmates at Attica.
"I'm talking to murderers and rapists. I'm talking to molesters and robbers," Gelsey told The Buffalo News after the sentencing. "I'm talking to them about a God that loves them, no matter what they did, and a God that gives everyone another chance."
But could he say that to his son's killer?
Tuesday was the first time Gelsey saw Vance since the arrest.
"When this happened to my son, I had to ask myself, 'Do I really mean what I say?' " Gelsey said. "I had to make a decision on that."
And he did.
"I couldn't change what I do," he said. Soon after his son's death, Gelsey was back in a prison praying with inmates.
An inmate approached him, he said.
"He said to me, 'Rev. Gelsey, I knew the guy who killed your son,' " Gelsey said.
And the inmate apologized.
"And then he said, 'Will you please keep loving us?' That touched my heart," Gelsey said.
"I still mourn my son," Gelsey told The News. "But I had to forgive him. We've got to let it go. We can't hold onto what Wayne did. It's not going to help us."
So in the courtroom, Gelsey reminded Vance about his jail ministry over the years and what he has told convicts. "I tell them that Jesus will forgive them and give them a second chance at life," Gelsey told Vance. "Wayne, I give you that same message. There is hope for you in Jesus."
During his time to speak in court, Vance apologized to Gelsey "for the pain I caused you all."
"I regret what I did," he said.
He added that he was glad to be forgiven.
Vance shot Gelsey Jr. in the attic of Vance's Briscoe Avenue home after the two spent the day together.
Vance said Gelsey Jr. "was like a brother" to him.
But "there was a lot going on in my life," he said, after the July 2011 shooting outside the New Humboldt Inn on East Delavan Avenue at Humboldt Parkway that took the life of Vance's brother.
"I felt he had something to do with the death of my brother," Vance said of Gelsey Jr.
"I feel the same pain as your family," Vance said of his brother's unsolved death.
Gelsey Jr. had been at the New Humboldt Inn at the time of the shooting, and knew Vance's brother, but he did not have anything to do with that crime, Gelsey Sr. said. In fact, Gelsey Jr. came home crying after the shooting, Gelsey Sr. recalled.
Gelsey Jr. moved to Harlem – close to his mother, sisters and brother – after the July 2011 shooting.
He returned to Buffalo for a Christmas visit and sought out Vance, Gelsey Sr. said.
"He was a friend to you, even though people were telling him to stay away from you," Gelsey Sr. told Vance during the sentencing. "Fred said no, that all you needed is a friend. He was your friend, Wayne. But on Dec. 28, you killed your friend. Did Fred see it coming? I don't think so. He was blinded by the love that he had for his brother."
Vance said someone tried to kill him over the holiday, firing "40 shots at me."
"I thought he was coming back to town to do something to me," Vance said.
Gelsey Sr. recalled that his son had brought Vance to his church once.
Now, Vance faces two decades in the kind of prisons in which Gelsey Sr. has become a familiar presence.
"I pray that you find [God] while you are upstate," the pastor told Vance.

How about early 20th century arthritis research? Or maybe the education philosophy of the man who oversaw the Buffalo Public Schools from 1957-75?
If so, you'll want to check out "University Archives Oral History Collection, 1968-93," the latest addition to UB Libraries' Digital Collections. .
The collection contains more than 40 interviews with members of the UB community, including administrators, alumni, faculty, staff and UB Council members. Most of the interviews were conducted from 1978-79 by University Archives staff members Jenny Peterzell and Brenda Shelton.
At the time, Shonnie Finnegan, head archivist, wrote that UB has "a rich, multi-layered past which is not reflected in the written record. These oral accounts … fill the gaps in the record and capture the past in more vivid, human terms."
University Archives plans to restart the project this summer by conducting and recording a new round of interviews. More details are forthcoming.

There's a Deep Silver rep on the Steam Community forum and he said the community patch works just fine and even posted a link to it there.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've been in the mood lately for a game like this, and all this talk about Sacred 2 Gold is making me want to play it. I played the original (without expansion) on the Xbox 360 and thought it was pretty good, so I grabbed it during the sale.
Gonna install it and the community patch and see how well it's held up.
I'm working on standardizing the Greenlight interface. What do you guys think?

Janssen Biotech is paying Genmab $55 million up front, and its parent Johnson & Johnson will make an additional DKK 475 million (about $80 million) investment in the Danish firm as part of a global license and development agreement for Genmab's human anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab (HuMax®-CD38). Daratumumab is currently in early clinical development for the treatment of multiple myeloma, but Genmab says the antibody may have utility against other CD38-expressing cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia. The firm's share price shot up nearly 20% as the markets opened to the news this morning.
Under terms of the deal Janssen gets a worldwide license to develop and commercialize daratumumab as well as a backup human CD38 antibody. Genmab could also receive up to $1 billion in development, regulatory, and sales milestones, plus tiered double-digit sales royalties. Janssen will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs including those associated with two ongoing Phase I/II studies. The equity investment, at DKK 88 per share, is at a premium to Genmab's closing share price yesterday of DKK 67.85
The daratumumab deal follows on from a $3.5 million up-front DuoBody® technology collaboration signed by the firms just last month through which Genmab will generate up to 10 bispecific antibodies against multiple disease target combinations specified by Janssen.

There was certainly no shortage of tremendous plays turned in by both sides on Friday night at Stackley Field.
Stratford quarterback Jacob Park threw for 346 yards and connected on four touchdown passes to power the Knights to a 42-27 victory over Ashley Ridge.
Park's touchdown tosses covered 88 and 80 yards to Thad Thompson and 64 and 17 to Tyree Scroggins as he torched the winless Foxes.
Jordan Johnson added 101 yards rushing and scored on runs of 6 and 3 yards for the Knights. Thompson finished with three catches for 178 yards while Scroggins made four grabs for 98 yards as Stratford improved to 4-0.
Ashley Ridge fell to 0-4.
Knights coach Ray Stackley praised Ashley Ridge for its effort but was concerned with his own team's mental approach heading into the game.
"I'm really upset with them a little bit," Stackley said of his players. "We've talked about respecting your opponent and valuing your opponent and doing what you do best and not worrying about team's records."
And Ashley Ridge was in it until the end.
The game got interesting, especially in the second half.
Ashley Ridge had some big-time plays itself, mostly from dazzling return man Donovan Thompson. Thompson returned a kickoff 98 yards and a punt return 80 yards, both for scores when Stratford was up by 21 points.
Thompson's punt return cut Ashley Ridge's deficit to 35-21 with 10:11 left in the game and the Foxes pulled within one possession when Chandler Avenel hooked up with Sean White on a 76-yard score with 7:32 left.
A blocked extra point left Stratford clinging to a 35-27 lead. Avenel finished with 149 yards.
Ashley Ridge got the ball back at its own 26 with 4:12 remaining but Stratford linebacker Menre Rice got through to jar the ball loose from Avenel and teammate T.J. Deveaux returned it to the Foxes 4.
Two plays later, Johnson's second touchdown run iced it with 2:25 left. Kicker Tyler Tekac was perfect on six extra points.
"We fought back and I'm proud of the guys for that," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "We've got something to build on for the second half of the season… If we play like we did tonight, we're going to win some ballgames down the road."
Ashley Ridge's other touchdown was a 14-yard run by Tyler Garland early in the second quarter after a punt hit a Stratford player.
"I said (to the players) if you're going to beat the good teams you want to beat you can't play down to your opponent," Stackley said. "You can't give up three specials teams touchdowns to anybody. They turned the momentum around two or three times on us."
Taylor Morrison had two interceptions for the Knights and Michael Simmons blocked a punt.
Stratford plays Colleton County on Friday, while Ashley Ridge takes on Cane Bay.

Eli Lilly and Roche Diagnostics are among anchors of a new $360 million public-private research institute being launched by Indiana life-sciences and government leaders, with the twin goals of studying metabolic disorders and growing the Hoosier State's biopharma industry.
The new Indiana Biosciences Research Institute will initially focus on four metabolic disorders: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and nutrition. Joining Lilly and Roche Diagnostics in launching the institute are Cook Medical, Dow AgroSciences, Biomet, and Indiana University Health, along with the office of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence; academic institutions that include Indiana University, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame; and BioCrossroads, a nonprofit that promotes life-sci growth statewide.
The nonprofit institute said in a statement it "is anticipated to be supported largely by corporate and philanthropic funding," with oversight from a "largely" donor-based board of directors representing the life sciences industry, the state of Indiana, academia, and nonprofit donors.
The state will spend $25 million over the next two years toward start-up costs for the institute. Another $25 million in start-up funding is being sought from industry and philanthropic sources, in part to recruit a "nationally recognized" CEO and research leaders or "Indiana Fellows" who will head interdisciplinary teams of scientists and partner with industry and universities on research projects. The teams will include expertise in bioengineering, bioinformatics, nanotechnology, and agriculture, and work both at institute labs and onsite at industry and university labs.
The remaining capital funding will be sought from corporations and philanthropic sources, with ongoing operating costs to be funded through an institute endowment, as well as industry-sponsored and federally funded research.
"The institute will help us nurture our partnerships across the country and develop more intellectual capital here in Indiana, allowing us to keep more research dollars in the state, attract more federal research funds, and draw top scientific minds to feed our research pipeline and local economies," Bart Peterson, svp at Lilly, said in the statement.
Indiana's life-sci industry accounts for some 55,000 jobs and more than $50 billion in overall economic impact, including $9.3 billion in exports, according to BioCrossroads' 2012 Annual Report.

Continuous Monitoring As a Service: A Shift in the Way Government Does Business
Though continuous monitoring has been "required" of agencies for several years, many lacked the inventory knowledge of their own systems to be able to implement continuous monitoring effectively. Numerous smaller agencies were unable to independently track their weaknesses, creating pockets of vulnerability across the federal government's barriers. As the number of external threats continues to increase, these holes have become a pressing concern for federal agencies.
To close the gaps, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking steps to offer continuous monitoring as a service (CMaaS) to all civilian agencies, thereby giving agencies the support services they need to comply with previous mandates. Read this GBC brief to learn:
- How agencies are planning to budget for a new cybersecurity strategy
- How Continuous Monitoring as a Service (CMaaS) makes continuous monitoring accessible to even the smallest of agencies
- Why continuous communication is an important component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy

Wonder how archaic South Carolina's regulatory rules are? Think about milk and cheese.
For instance: Under the current set-up, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control regulates all "Grade A" facilities that manufacture, package or distribute milk products.
But the state Department of Agriculture regulates cheese, which some consider to be milk's cousin.
"The dual agency division of regulatory responsibility serves as a deterrent to new dairy and cheese business development in the state," the authors of a new report said Friday.
They went on to call the bureaucratic division "inefficient, costly and unique to South Carolina."
Eight months after Gov. Nikki Haley established a task force to review South Carolina's long list of agency regulations, the group's report was released Friday as part of the state Chamber of Commerce's annual summit, held this year on the Isle of Palms.
The report did not include a cost savings breakdown for the changes, but Haley said the ultimate goal is to make the state more business-friendly by getting rid of the burdensome, outdated and duplicated regulations.
"The regulations are promulgating way too easy in South Carolina and that is a lot of the reason why I think we have what we have," Haley said.
In all, the 11-member task force estimated there are more than 3,100 regulations at play in South Carolina, overseen by 22 state agencies.
Additionally, there are "perhaps hundreds" of other processes and procedures, the authors said, that have been developed and adopted into the state's regulatory process.
Some of the suggested changes might be easy to do through consultations with Cabinet directors, Haley said. Others may have to go through the legislative process.
A key thrust of the findings was to show how small businesses could be freed from some of the regulations that are placed on larger ones in a sort of one-size-fits-all mentality.
For example, the report suggests allowing small egg- or honey-producing operations to be exempted from stricter regulations. In the case of egg sales the standards cover the mass washing, sterilizing, grading, sorting and labeling of the product before they can be sold.
The report, by contrast, suggests that producers of 150 dozen eggs or less per week be exempt from those standards.
Another example of an excessive regulation — and one cited by Haley — is a requirement that extra-wide doors be in place for licensing birthing centers that are used for deliveries by midwives.
"The extra width doors required by this regulation are an economic burden and do not provide any increased safety for the patient," the report said.
Not all the task force members were totally behind every suggestion drawn from more than 2,000 pages of investigation materials. Dana Beach, executive director of the S.C. Coastal Conservation League, said some of the environmental streamlining ideas need to be explored much deeper to fully understand their impact.
He particularly cited suggestions affecting the regulatory process affecting landfills, stormwater management, estuaries and other environmental factors. "It's a long way from any level of implementation," he said.
State Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, was also a part of the study process. He suggested one other positive from the report is that it put the Statehouse on a pattern of "sunsetting," or eliminating, regulations once they become identified as unnecessary or obsolete.

Samsung Galaxy S5 vs HTC One (M8): preliminary comparison
0. phoneArena 25 Mar 2014, 11:12 posted on
If we had to make a list of the most highly anticipated smartphones right now, then the Samsung Galaxy S5 would probably stand right at the very top of it. The handset is expected to sell by the boatloads once it is released in April, landing in the pockets of both loyal Samsung followers and anyone looking for a capable high-end Android device. But the competition is definitely not going to just stand and watch. Samsung's latest and greatest Android phone will have to face a number of tough opponents on its way to commercial success, and one of the toughest among them will be the HTC One (M8)...

Completely agree with you, I'd much rather carry an m8 or Z2 over the GS5.

because of what ?? if u say the design, i say yes, both of them have a better design than s5, but all hands-on videos said that it looks good and feel great, so wait till it be on ur hand then judge !
and just think, will ur z2 have updates ? u saw the 2012 flagships are not getting kitkat neither do htc one x !!
and the ui ? htc ui is the worst ever, u need a launcher but still, the notification bar and sttings ui are bad !!
and we didnt talk about the software yet !!!
27. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)

KitKat and 4.3 has no difference, KitKat was made to run Android smooth on 512 and 1 Gb Ram without lag, then again fault the mid and low powered CPU which struggles to push Android.
Android needs heavy resource of CPU and Gpu to push it's OS
56. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Mid range phones shouldn't really struggle to push the OS anymore. Quad core Cortex A7 CPUs and a decent GPU should handle everything with no problem, except maybe some really intensive games.
60. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
That's why on the Exynos S4 with 4x4 A7 struggles and lags, finds it to hard to push and lags operating and doing anything
79. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Exynos GS4 has 4x A15 and 4x A7. There are a couple things that made the GS4 lag; lack of heterogeneous multi-processing, so switching between the different types of cores was slow and inefficient, and bloated software that ate up the RAM. Now that all of Samsung's major smartphones either have heterogeneous multi-processing CPUs or plain old CPUs with cores of all the same architecture, and run 4.4 KitKat, they should all run fine.
52. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Have you not seen the HTC Advantage program? If you buy from their One lineup (One, One mini, One Max), you're guaranteed 2 years of Android updates, 50 GB of free cloud storage, and a free repair of a broken screen.
Also, HTC's UI is one of the best. It's based on preference, but it's widely more desirable than Touchwiz.
214. Coopcho (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 May 2013)
Hello, Have you even used a Galaxy S4 device in your life? I mean personal expericence, not reading in comments and posts. You are telling me that I MUST pay additional to a company, which is so great in making wonderful products, so I can get the normal 2 year support for my 500$ phone? And you find that as an additional benefit from the company? It is making huge profit out of this deal and you got nothing.. My SGS4 is working perfectly fine without any lag and even my iPhone fanboy cousin found it astonishing fast! And on software side the Samsung's flagships are KILLING others! You get all the gestures, air commands, multitasking and the only company which is a real threat in software competition is LG! And the S Health which is the 1st of his kind is not even mentioned! So, please, 1st use the phone which you are typing against, than make some conclusions based on YOUR usage and compare the real things you get. I was HTC fanboy, but when you look not biased on both + and - it is clear who is the winner in S5 vs M8. :)
88. b1acktiger (Posts: 223; Member since: 19 May 2012)
I really like your joke about Sense UI. Samsung's Touchwiz is stuck on gimgerbread. They are struggling in software part. Btw, One X and One X+ didnt recieved any update because Nvidia dropped the support for those SoC's. HTC can't do anything in this. Get the facts right.
195. tenho1982 (Posts: 68; Member since: 29 Dec 2013)
You've got very good excuses but the fact is HTC don't have time in the world to contact every of their current and future customers to explain. Luckily they have you, so Good luck to both you and HTC lol.

In business you listen to what your customer wants and needs not what you think and presume!

Have you stopped to think that maybe they are listening to the customer? I personally wrote to Samsung and why I switched to Samsung after being a diehard HTC man. I like the option to remove the battery and upgrade memory at will. I also stated that the moment they remove these options, I would leave Samsung and return to another brand.
Also, one of the most crucial arguments given by manufacturers for using all aluminum, is due to being able to make the phones slimmer and lighter. I have yet to see this argument proven. My "Plastic" phone(which most people can't tell because it has a cover on it) still outperforms most devices on the market while maintaining a slimmer and lighter design.
Tech geeks really need to quit smoking the weed. Samsung's numbers prove that miliions upon millions of consumers don't care about tech geek fetishes. We want functionality coupled with flexibility as in augmentation. I'm really surprised that tech enthusiasts wouldn't want the same. They usually like to tinker and modify. In my day, we were the people that disassembled and re-created. Today, it seems all you care about is looks. My 5year old grandson can change is own battery. I get the feeling most "Tech geeks" can't today. Are you guys techs or not? If you're a tech geek, step to the plate and show the world what you are capable of rather than letting the manufacturer limit your abilities.

John B,
Numbers ?! Really ?! Are u quoting numbers ?! Surely if it's about numbers than the iPhone is by far the best smartphone on the planet. Right ?!
'sammy' fanboys = pathetic ===> now that's a fact

Why do you parry my information? I never said iphones were the best. And while you weren't specifically claiming that I said that, you are still misunderstanding my post.
I would expect tech geeks to agree with my post; not disagree. In contrast to my post, disagreeing would negate actual tech enthusiasm for being able to improve, modify or tailor a device. HTC has practically left no room for anyone(including techs) to gain the slightest bit of access to anything in it. No customization or modifying at all. Not my idea of a "Premium High End" device.

we dont mod the phones like the old days i used to build them for fun and put the phone in a clear body with led lights and all thats gone the way of the iden nextel that i loved they have tvs and all other stuff that we could not do 10 years ago. htc listerned and put sd card slot in and louder speakers and aluminium body just like everyone asked them to do.

Samsung leads in smartphone sales, not Apple.

When you have people who keep buying, you dont have to listen to anyone. Like everyone is saying, the s5 phone is OKAY, but it will STILL sell more than HTC. If samsung keeps hearing that, they will keep making platic and feeding people touchwiz gimmics, and oversaturating the public eyes with Advertisement.

I'm going to get an S5 when it comes out. I don't mind the plastic, just as long as I can remove and swap the battery. Also most people are going to smack a plastic case on their phone and cover the metal anyway, making it plastic.

In reply to the article:
The whole point of having onscreen buttons was that larger screen sizes could be fitted in smaller designs. However, HTC seems to have gone the other way. What is the point of having on-screen buttons if you are going to have a f**king bar below it? It's a total waste. Even if some special function in integrated into the f**king HTC Logo bar, they might as well have put capacitive buttons and save the screen space that will be taken up by onscreen buttons. No wonder HTC keeps failing. They are paying the fruits of not paying attention to small details like this.

And if HTC physically couldn't have shrunk it down...then fail. Just fail.

there are polls out and the winner is thicker phone ok if better specs, the thin phone thing is getting out of control tech cant catch up at this point wait 5 years then its gonna be fold tech phones.

I agree. They are putting waay too much importance on speakers for a pocket device. They are sacrificing the whole carry-ability as a mobile device as well as other possible cool features such as screen size within the smaller body.
I'm not gonna buy a phone just because it has sleek metal body and huge stereo speakers.

thats why the rest of the planet will.

Not just this sense6. And super LCD 3. And better quality and no hang in HTC like Samsung and so so much

AMOLED screens are my favorite. I prefer them over SLCD 3 panels. As far as Sense 6, I'd have to demo both the new Touchwiz and Sense 6 together to say which one I prefer.
