MIFFLINTOWN Churches, groups and individuals seeking missions opportunities close to home may find what they're looking for with a project from the River Church in Mifflintown.
"We're opening the eyes of people to show them that there's need in the United States and you don't need a passport to do missions work," said Holly Lukens, one of two women organizing Hope and Restoration Ministries, a partnership with Victory Outreach Church near Kensington in the Philadelphia region.
Lukens and Renee Williamson are willing to help coordinate a relationship with other Christians seeking an outreach opportunity by allowing folks to travel with them to the streets of Kensington and share the Gospel.

River Church members and Victory Outreach Church members pray as another member ministers to a community member with an opiate addiction underneath a bridge in Kensington.
Victory Outreach International is a church whose premise is just that, Lukens said, "outreach." They have homes in inner city neighborhoods across the country and house recovering addicts both men and women while discipling them.
The northern Philadelphia homes currently hold nine women in one house and 15 men in another house.
Williamson first came across the missions opportunity in the summer of 2009. She had attended the streets of Kensington, rubbing elbows with dealers and prostitutes on a quarterly basis with another church group that existed at the time.
As Williamson became more involved with the River Church, she helped introduce the idea, and the church became aware of Pastor Joseph Bishop and the Victory Outreach family. The Mifflintown church has been traveling to the streets every month, bringing hot dogs and sharing hope and encouragement with those who pass by. They load up a van of about a dozen people and arrive at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. They spend time at the Victory Outreach Church for prayer, worship and Bible time. Then they head to the streets.
"There's so much hopelessness and despair," Williamson shared. A change is noticeable in volunteers who go on the day-long trips, she said. They realize the need that exists in this free nation.
"One woman (volunteer) said, 'I'm not in Kansas anymore.' There you are out in the open and it breaks your heart," Williamson said.
One young man asked the folks from River Church and Victory Outreach why they chose to come there. When Williamson presented the story of Jesus' ability to love people no matter their sin and that they desired to reflect that love all he could say was, "But we're the scum of the earth. You shouldn't be here."
These men and women are not the dangerous "thugs" many think about when they envision people lurking city streets; they are hurting people making poor and dangerous choices, the women said.
Those already living in homes sponsored by the church join the ministry on the street and help relate to those who merge through the group. The directors of the homes are recovered drug addicts.
When these recovering addicts find the love and compassion of the volunteers and accept Jesus as their savior, they present a change to their former friends on the streets.
Lukens shared an event that impacted her on one of the monthly visits. She met a woman who came off the streets the Monday before Lukens and the others arrived. It was a Saturday and the woman wanted to go out and share with others what she had experienced in the Victory Outreach housing.
"Another woman (from the street) came up to her and said , 'You look good.'" Lukens was amazed that with only six days of counsel she was willing to reply, "'It's not me. It's God.'"
Williamson added, "We are building relationships with these people with Victory Outreach. They are family to us, and they are so appreciative."
The River Church group of 11 men and women return to the area for a day on Dec. 8. Interested Christians are welcome to join them by contacting the church office. The church is also asking for gift card donations so they can purchase presents for the individuals in the homes.
For more information, call 436-8507 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Information can also be found at www.victoryoutreach.org.

VSO offices worldwide mark IVD by 'building communities'
30 November 2005
by Theo Breedon
For International Volunteer Day 2005, Voluntary Service Overseas is highlighting the important contributions of local and national volunteering – and also the contributions of international volunteers – with a campaign entitled "Volunteers for Development: Building Communities Together".
Many of our programme offices in over 35 developing countries will be participating in events to mark this campaign. The following brief highlights a number of campaign activities:
VSO and the Balkans
The training will be delivered by a group of trainers from Bosnia i Hercegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Romania. It forms part of a three-year strategic plan of VSO's programme for national volunteering development in the Balkans region. The goal of the programme is to reduce vulnerability of socially vulnerable groups through the effective mobilization of volunteers in the social care sector in the Balkans.
Also, 5 December will see the launch of the RIVER SEE publication Partnership against Poverty and a regional seminar on IVD 2005. This event is due to take place in each of the seven countries/areas involved in the UNV-led RIVER SEE programme, following the image of a river flowing from South to North or vice-versa. The RIVER SEE programme aims to assist the reconciliation of South East Europe by organising a number of 100 intra-regional long-term volunteer placements over 2 years. The countries currently involved in this initiative are Albania, BiH, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
VSO Bangladesh
VSO Cameroon
VSO China
VSO Ghana
December 3 has also been branded Corporate Volunteering Day and volunteers from a number of corporations will be accompanying orphans from the Teshie Orphanage on a tour of the Accra and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. Participants will also be holding a discussion on the value of volunteering.
VSO Malawi
Mixed teams will compete against each other in activities such as football, netball, volleyball, table tennis and basketball. All participants will pay a small entry fee and make a donation that will then be given to an orphan care group in Lilongwe, the capital city. The day is expected to attract volunteers and partner organisations from VSO, UNV, Red Cross Malawi, WUSC, Peace Corps, and JICA.
VSO Mongolia
VSO Nepal
VSO Nigeria
VSO Rwanda
Sri Lanka
Over 200 international volunteers from VSO, UNV, JOCV (Japan), KOICA (Korea), AVI and AYAD (Australia), Project Trust (UK) and Uniterra (Canada) are expected to attend this event. Participants will also be given an opportunity to attend a development-focused workshop on disability and also on responses to the effects of the tsunami, one year on.
VSO Zambia
On the 2 December 2005, VSO Zambia will also partner with a home-based care partner in Lusaka to conduct home visits in a community in Lusaka. The team will consists of staff, VSO volunteers and community-based volunteers from the local home-based care groups.

The MSK community is deeply saddened by the untimely death of our esteemed colleague, Alan Hall, on Sunday, May 3, 2015. He was an extraordinary scientist, colleague, mentor, and friend. His scientific contributions, the work of the young scientists he trained, and his friendship to all will remain an enduring legacy. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
The first time I remember thinking much about science was at the age of 13, when we started taking formal chemistry lessons in school. This was at an old fashioned boys' school in Yorkshire, England. I'm not quite sure why, but by the end of the year, I had discovered this great interest in the subject of chemistry. What's more, I found that I was pretty good at it, which also came as something of a surprise to me.
When it came time to choose what to study at university, I enjoyed chemistry enough — the beauty and logic of it — that I decided to make it my focus. My choice was made easier considering that, during those days, my other potential choice, biology, seemed to involve little more than drawing pictures of dead frogs.
At the time, in 1970, the University of Oxford, where I did my undergraduate work, was very specialized. This meant that essentially I studied chemistry for four straight years. However, since I knew that I didn't want to end up working in a pharmaceutical company making fertilizer, I decided to take extra courses in biochemistry.
An Unplanned But Not Unhappy Transatlantic Move
At the end of the four years, I was still interested enough in the subject that I decided to get a PhD. My first truly lucky break came when I chose to do my doctoral work at Oxford with Jeremy Knowles. He was and still is a chemist at heart, but he had a strong interest in biochemistry and in particular enzymology, a subject that, though it is hard to believe now, was at the time quite exciting.
About two months after being accepted into his program, he informed me that he was moving to Harvard. Despite this jolting news, Jeremy was such an outstanding teacher and scientist that I decided to go with him. This, for me, was a very good decision.
My time at Harvard, from 1974 to 1977, had a tremendous impact on my career. This was during the period when molecular biology was beginning to emerge and Cambridge, Massachusetts, happened to be a hotbed for the discipline. I clearly remember the huge furor in the Cambridge City Council, in which some members of the council warned against bringing these strange genetic engineers into their city, where they might contaminate the sewage and drinking water with the strange fruits of their research! For me, it was a wonderful three years, during which I had my eyes opened to so much new science.Back to top
Back to the UK … then Switzerland
By the time I had to decide on a postdoctoral fellowship, I knew I wanted to train in molecular biology. And while it was difficult securing a full-time science job in Margaret Thatcher's UK, finding a postdoctoral position was not as difficult. I ended up at the University of Edinburgh, working for Ken Murray.
This was a wonderfully supportive environment, which gave me the opportunity to learn many new techniques and approaches, though unfortunately the projects I was involved with did not work out.
Seeking a change of scenery, I took a second postdoctoral fellowship with Charles Weissmann at the University of Zurich. We were cloning interferon, which, at the time, was a hot topic. The atmosphere was very different from Edinburgh, but in my two years with Charles I learned so much about how to think and work like a molecular biologist.Back to top
Escape of a Lifetime
When I finished my second fellowship in 1980, I knew that I had to find a job somewhere. One of my fellow postdocs told me that a man named Robin Weiss, who had just become Director of the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, was looking for molecular biologists. I wrote to him, expressing my interest, and received nothing in response.
In the meantime, I had been contacted by a biotech company called Searle. Just as I was about to accept their offer, I received a letter from Robin, saying, "I'm still waiting for your answer." As it turned out, he had responded to my letter, after all. I just hadn't received it. I was offered a job at the Institute, which I promptly accepted — probably for the best, as Searle went out of business shortly thereafter.
I started working at the ICR in 1981 and spent the next 12 years there. The Institute had a long, distinguished history in radiotherapy and drug development but had little experience in molecular biology. This meant that I had the chance to build their molecular biology section, with the intention of applying it to cancer research. At the time, I knew absolutely nothing about cancer, but in those days you didn't have to know much to get a job!
The other piece of great luck that I experienced at this time was when Robin recruited a cell biologist named Chris Marshall. Together, we worked on the newly discovered subject of oncogenes. Although Chris and I are very different personalities, we clicked, and a close friendship was born that continues to this day.
It was Chris who introduced me to the discipline of cell biology. This was a very formative time for me and for my professional development — I was now using the technologies and techniques I had learned, applying them now to a more direct biological problem. I had become a molecular cell biologist.Back to top
Twelve Year Itch x Two
In 1993, after 12 years, I was ready for a change. With this in mind, I moved to a newly created molecular cell biology institute within University College, London. It presented me with an opportunity to work with people outside the cancer field, which I liked. Our work involved the search for pathways that control cell behavior. Doing this type of research brought me into regular contact with more cell biologists. After six years, the Director left and, in 2000, I was fortunate to be appointed as the new Director.
Flash forward to 2004, when I was asked to give a President's Lecture at Sloan Kettering Institute. This allowed me the opportunity to meet a number of the scientists here and to see what a tremendous program both Harold Varmus and Tom Kelly were building.
As a result, I was quite interested and flattered when, some four months later, Dr. Kelly contacted me, asking if I would be interested in the chair position of the Cell Biology Program. Again, I was experiencing a 12-year itch at University College, London, and I realized that this was the perfect opportunity at the perfect time.
One of the big attractions of the job for me was the opportunity to live in New York City. My wife, who had been teaching for quite some time, liked the idea of a life style change, and our children had already left home. The administrative support we received from SKI made the transition an easy one, and the clincher was that my commute to work would go from one hour and five minutes to under five minutes!
My two main responsibilities as chair are to run my own laboratory and to recruit new faculty into the Cell Biology Program, both of which I enjoy doing. With the advent of the new Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School and the numerous investments in new faculty and resources that have been made at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, this is a wonderful time to be at an institution where so much great science is taking place. I feel fortunate to be involved in such an exciting endeavor.Back to top

AudioQuest NightHawk headphones
When you tell people that these headphones cost $895, people look at you sideways and dismiss them as a waste of money. A $100 pair of cans can do the same thing as these, surely, is what they'll claim. Yes, and no. What sounds good to some people, doesn't sound good to others, and audiophiles are a particularly fussy bunch by nature. That audience, as well as people who simply enjoy finely crafted products, is who AudioQuest is targeting with the NightHawk headphones.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford won the GOP runoff tonight for the 1st Congressional District by a 57-43 margin over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results.
Sanford now faces five more weeks campaigning before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to make for an unusually competitive contest.
As he waited for Sanford to speak former Berkeley GOP Chair Tim Callanan said, "The toughest race out of all these is coming up."
After Sanford thanked supporters, family and his fiancee Maria Belen Chapur — who made a surprise appearance Tuesday night — he began sounding out themes that separate him from Colbert Busch.
Those include: whether health care should be predominantly government's role or based on free market principles; whether the National Labor Relations Board should decide if Boeing can build jobs in South Carolina; and whether Washington, D.C. will get its financial house in order.
"If you go into a general elections, I think there are some real contrasts that don't exist in a primary," he said.
Colbert Busch released her own statement Tuesday, saying Sanford "simply has the wrong values for our community."

brian2k1 wrote:Sweet so I guess I could convert it to RM or an animated gif too
My question was more of a suggestion or request to the admins of Ch 9. I would hope the people who watch Channel 9 already know they can convert the files to other formats. Obviously they offer direct downloads so making it available in iTunes format isn't out of the question.
If I had my CHOICE of hardware. I would have a pocketPC with a 30gb harddrive instead of an ipod video 30g. (hint hint) Or even better a reasonably sized phone with a pocketpc and 10-30gb hard drive which I could store whatever I wanted wmv, mp3, ect... formats and play them all.
We're looking at doing that. http://www.on10.net already does just that and that team is part of the Channel 9 team as well.
It violates my living room rule. It's rude and not polite. And, yes, it is discriminatory cause I don't see you treating the men here that way. It sends a message that you're only interested in women's bodies, not their minds. We as an industry have a tough enough time trying to get women interested in geekier fields, so I'm pretty senstitive to this kind of behavior.
I usually just delete posts that are sexist.
Yeah, my boss is Jeff Sandquist. We got a new camera, which makes things a lot nicer.

Side note: Why does the interviewer (whoever it is) insist on laughing INTO THE MIC?!?!?!?! He does that on every single video. I try to watch these videos at work and you have to crank up the volume just to hear the interviewees speaking then you need to leap for the volume every time that guy laughs. QUIT YELLING INTO THE MIC!!!!! Learn to work your equipment!
The interviewer is me. I have a good time at work, sorry.
We use cheap camera equipment and only use the microphones on the camera. I try to not laugh so much, but there's not much I can do about it.
Yes, I've heard I should use lapel microphones. I've tried that and they don't work for me. I don't have an audio crew along.

Buffalo Medical Group announced it is the first physicians group outside of northeast Ohio to join a Cleveland Clinic initiative to help independent doctors standardize care and improve quality.
More than 640 independent Cleveland-area physicians have joined the Quality Alliance, which also includes the clinic's 3,500 doctors. The partnership with Buffalo Medical Group, one of the area's largest medical groups, adds more than 100 primary care and specialty care physicians.
The program is aimed at using treatments for a host of conditions based on best available medical evidence, improving the consistency of that care and providing access to expertise and data to compare quality measures and results among a broad array of doctors.
For example, the Quality Alliance has developed a comprehensive process for measuring how well doctors comply with evidence-based treatments for such chronic diseases as diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure and hypertension, as well as for colon, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and childhood and adult immunization.
"This gives us an opportunity to look beyond ourselves and measure how we are doing against national benchmarks," said Dr. Irene Snow, medical director of Buffalo Medical Group.
BMG has more than 400,000 outpatient visits annually at its main locations in Buffalo, Amherst and Orchard Park, in addition to 20 satellite sites, officials said.
"The addition of the Buffalo Medical Group to the Quality Alliance underscores that other providers - regardless of whether they are located in northeast Ohio or elsewhere - understand the need for physicians to solve the value equation: How to provide the best care for our patients in the most cost-efficient manner," Dr. Tarek Elsawy, chief medical officer of the clinic's Quality Alliance, said in a statement.
"Health care is changing, especially reimbursement models, which will not be based on activity alone but on the quality and efficiency of that activity," he said. "Evidence shows that the continuous move toward performance-based care translates into better health for patients and a savings in healthcare dollars over time."

Wando powered through the first round of the SCHSL Class 4A playoffs Thursday with a 76-55 win over Beaufort at home.
After 20 wins in the regular season, Wando (21-4) set out to prove its worth against new competition in the playoffs opening round. Beaufort (18-6) gave its best shot early but eventually succumbed to the Warriors pressure and high tempo.
We talked about protecting everything that we earned during the regular season, Wando head coach David Eaton said. Thats what we wanted to do tonight. Theyre just like the teams that we play in our region, so that helped us a lot later in the game.
Beaufort made four threes to stay knotted even with Wando through the first quarter. But the Warriors defense tightened in the second quarter to hold Beaufort scoreless through the first four minutes and only allow two made field goals.
Wando closed the third quarter on a 10-2 run to take a 19-point lead into the fourth. Beaufort came as close as 13 points with four minutes to play before Wando finished the game in contender form with an 8-0 run through the last two and half minutes.
We thought we had an advantage on offense, Eaton said. We wanted to just keep attacking. We ran our offense really well tonight. When were playing like that were going to score a lot of points and put pressure on the other team.
Jamez Rogers led all scorers with 25 points, Amp Moore added 15 and Matthew Pegram 14 for Wando. Adonis Grant led Beaufort with 19 points, Otis McClain added 11.
Wando advances to host No. 3 seed Lexington Saturday in the second round. Lexington defeated No. 2 seed South Florence, 61-54, in the opening round Thursday.
Weve talked about our long-term goals all year, but right now were playing one game at a time, Eaton said. Get through each game and your reward is to play in that next game.

From a modest upbringing to a seat on the West Virginia Supreme Court, Tucker County native Allen Loughry II proves that sincerity and hard work can satisfy extraordinary dreams.
During his oath of office ceremony in Charleston Dec. 14, this radiating theme was conveyed to the standing-room-only crowd of convivial family, friends and dignitaries. The five current sitting justices welcomed Justice-elect Loughry with opening remarks, while Justice Margaret L. Workman delivered the oath of office.
Loughry, who has been an attorney at the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals for the last nine years, will join the Court Jan. 1. Working directly with Justice Workman since she rejoined the Supreme Court in 2009, Loughry listened intently as Workman praised his work ethic, intelligence, and commitment to both his profession and family.

Supreme Court Justice Margaret Workman administers the oath with new Justice Allen Loughry, as his wife, Kelly, and 6-year-old son, Justus, look on.
During the 45-minute ceremony that some had to watch from television monitors from a room adjacent to the court chambers because of overcapacity, each justice shared positive comments about Loughry, with several stressing his diligence.
"He didn't miss a day of work during the campaign for Supreme Court," Workman said.
An almost constant banter among all the justices induced eruptive laughter from the audience.
"We never thought we would have someone here with more degrees than The Weather Channel," declared Justice Brent Benjamin, referencing Loughry's four law degrees.
Justice Menis Ketchum produced a miniature skeleton in reference to Loughry's campaign commercials where he proclaimed that he had "no skeletons" in his closet.
Responding to the remarks by thanking each justice independently, Loughry followed by acknowledging the many family members and friends who have influenced and supported him throughout his life and during his campaign, with special appreciation of his parents. Loughry extended a special tribute to his father, who was celebrating his 75th birthday.
Loughry asserted that he comes from "an average West Virginia family" and that his electoral victory proves that it is possible for any average West Virginian to participate in and to win a statewide election.
When Loughry shared a message he received from a young man that he met along the campaign trail, he affirmed that "the next generation of West Virginians needs to know that they count. They need to know that they matter. They need to know they can make positive changes in West Virginia.
Ending his remarks to a standing ovation, Loughry emphasized, "This is not my day, this is our day. Thank you for being here and sharing it with me."
Loughry, a 1988 graduate of Tucker County High School and 1992 graduate of West Virginia University, always had an interest in politics. During his senior year of high school, he was one of the two West Virginian students chosen to spend a week in Washington, D.C., for the prestigious Presidential Classroom program, joining students from each of the remaining states and an array of students from other countries. This was Loughry's first organized exploration of the political system and thus, he graduated from WVU with a bachelor's degree in journalism and minor in political science. He would later earn his first of four law degrees from Capital University School of Law.
During Loughry's stint at The American University, Washington College of Law in D.C., he would compose a thesis that would later become a central theme of his 2006 book "Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for a Landslide," a retrospect of the continuing history of political corruption in West Virginia and what West Virginians can do to obstruct corruption in the political arena.
From the inception of his book to the present, Loughry has consistently said there is too much money involved in elections. He believes that people want to elect judges, not politicians, and this is what he set out to do during his campaign.
"The judiciary should be the non-political branch of government," Loughry reasoned. Throughout his campaign, Loughry told West Virginians that if they would honor him with their vote, he would "serve them with honor." During his swearing-in ceremony, he reminded the attentive and enthusiastic crowd that this is exactly what he plans to do during his 12 years in office.
In addition to his Master of Laws in law and government from the American University, Washington College of Law, Loughry earned two additional degrees, a Master of Laws in criminology and criminal justice from the University of London and a Doctor of Juridical Science from The American University, Washington College of Law.
Loughry's extensive resume highlights his service to West Virginia. He has served as a senior assistant attorney general, special prosecuting attorney, assistant to a county prosecutor, direct aide to former Gov. Gaston Caperton, special assistant to a U.S. congressman, and adjunct professor at the University of Charleston.
Loughry was born in Elkins in 1970 and raised in Tucker County. During the general election in November, he won overwhelmingly in his native Tucker County over his opponents.

Before taking over as Erie Community College president in 2008, Jack F. Quinn Jr. worked as a middle school English teacher, Hamburg town supervisor, a member of Congress for a dozen years and as president of the Cassidy & Associates lobbying firm.
It was the depth of Quinn's local knowledge, fundraising experience and connections in government that led to his academic appointment.
Quinn is leading the two-year college – which boasts 14,000 students at three campuses in Amherst, Buffalo and Orchard Park – at a time when community colleges are asked to play a larger role in the economy even as government funding for higher education is flat-lining.
ECC in recent years has built partnerships with area companies to better prepare its students to fill jobs in advanced manufacturing, biomedicine and other emerging fields.
The college serves students who don't have high school diplomas, who are the first in their families to attend college, single parents, veterans, people training for a new career and those who will transfer to four-year colleges after earning an associate degree.
ECC has invested $25 million into the building on its City Campus but now must address its aging North Campus as it seeks to lure hundreds of Erie County residents each semester who choose to take classes at Niagara County Community College.
Q: What did you learn in politics in Washington that you've been able to apply to your job as a community college president?
A: In New York State, community colleges are funded in an interesting way. About a third of our money comes from state government. About a third of our funding comes from county government. And the other third is raised through tuition. So all of the relationships that I had cultivated and made over those years that I was in government, at all levels, has helped me to position Erie Community College in a place where we can get the biggest bang for our buck and do the best things for the students and their families in Western New York.
Q: What is the role of ECC or other community colleges?
A: A lot of people think we teach classes for an associate's degree, which we do, but that's only part of what I call our business model. We do millions of dollars in economic development. We train the young men and women who will be in the manufacturing sector of Western New York. And of course we have a robust business in the GED business of Pathways [to Success], where students come to us without high school diplomas but need to be ready for the work force or for higher education. And then we have a very big part of our business where our two-year associate degree students go on to four-year schools, at UB, Buffalo State, Canisius – everybody around here.
Q: Manufacturers and government officials warn this country doesn't have enough skilled manufacturing workers. How is ECC closing this skills gap?
A: The first thing we're doing is listening to the manufacturers to tell us what it is they need. There's one thing I'm proud of — we bought a piece of equipment, it cost us $240,000, I think. It's a CNC water jet machine. And it trains people on how to do what used to be tool-and-die work [that] we now do with lasers and water, so it's safer and more exact. Five colleges have this equipment in the United States. ... And the instructors that teach that have 100 percent job placement.
Q: You're making a push as a school into green jobs, into biomedical, advanced manufacturing. Why are you looking at those segments of the economy?
A: Because we're hearing from the folks who run those businesses that's where they're going to need the jobs.
Q: And you're doing all of this with stagnant, or declining, public support, from the county, from the state?
A: Stagnant, for certain, with the county. And it's been stagnant for six or seven years. State, we got a little bump up last year, which we're grateful for. We're going to ask for a little bit more. And then the third ingredient is tuition. So our tuition went up last year. And it's likely it'll go up again. We're $3,900 a year. A little bit less than $2,000 a semester. What a bargain.
Q: Charge-backs — money paid by one county when its residents attend community college in another county — cost Erie County millions of dollars each year. What can ECC do to convince students who now go to another community college to stay home in Erie County?
A: The trustees' answer is resounding and unanimous: It is to invest in that North Campus. Because the biggest share of this charge-back, the majority of all of that money, is in the town of Amherst and Clarence and Williamsville and Tonawanda, because they're going up to Sanborn [to NCCC]. We took a semi-scientific look at this and said, Why? And when we looked at the students with Erie County ZIP codes who are enrolled there, and what they study, we teach 9 out of the 10 subject areas they're studying. So it's not because they're not finding what they want to study at ECC.
Q: How does ECC go forward — as a three-campus school, or will it consolidate?
A: The trustees are very clear that our geography is a strong point for us. There's no question. And so we will move forward, to answer your question, and invest in all three campuses. We're not going to leave any of them to disrepair.

No, our country is no safer with the capture of Saddam, and our military men and women serving in Iraq are no safer. But the people of Iraq are safer, Saddam can no longer gas them to death, bury them alive, or film their being tortured. Saddam's own videos of the torture is all the evidence any court needs to convict him of crimes against humanity. That, and the graves.Originally posted by Dopey Dwarf:

Just about everyone's heard ofand has probably used3 x 5 cards, but where did they come from? Surprisingly, their origin dates back a thousand years. Also known as index cards, their evolution is rooted in the concept of cataloging, or indexing, key words in a book.
The monks of medieval times employed a hands-on system for marking a manuscript's key words: they would use a symbol that indicated a finger pointing to the termthat digit being the forefinger, or index finger. Index traces its roots to Latin and the concept of informer, or pointer. Its Greek forbear means to show.
Eventually these pointy fingers found their way to the back of the book in the form of an index of terms.
But how were books themselves being catalogued? In fits and starts, it seems, with the Alexandria Library using an alphabetical system in the third century B.C. E., but the European libraries using a peculiar rhyming system 11 centuries later. Things got better organized in the nineteenth century, and in 1820 the first card catalog appeared in a library in London.
The American hero of the library index card was Melvil Dewey. He introduced his decimal classification system in the 1870s, in the library at Amherst College in western Massachusetts. The card he devised for his catalog drawers was approximately 3" x 5". The typewriter had been invented a few years earlier, and ultimately the card and the keys met and married.
The Library of Congress started printing its catalog index cards in 1901. For the next eight decades or so, the library index card and its attendant cabinets would serve as the Google of their day. Nicholson Baker, in his elegiac essay on card catalogs that appeared in The New Yorker in 1994, reported that the New York Public Library harbored 10 million cards.
With all these cards in libraries, perhaps it was only a matter of time before they segued into general use. Thrifty librarians primed the pump by setting out discarded cards for patrons to use for notes. Seeing the cards' usefulness, stationers began offering blank cards for sale. Business and professional people, writers and students adopted the cards as standard tools for researching, filing and organizing information.
And then, of course, computers struck. Card cabinets in libraries were dismantled and the cards discarded. There simply wasn't enough room anymore to capture all our knowledge on a 3" x 5" descendant of papyrus. The once ubiquitous little cards, whose origins are so closely linked to cataloging knowledge, teetered on the brink of extinction.
The index card is still a handy palimpsest, the screen on which one can quickly capture first ideas, reminder notes, titles of books friends recommend, your grandmother's recipe for pumpkin pie. Index cards, with their scratch-outs, imperfect erasures and caret insertions, jog our memory as only the tactile can.
By contrast, electronic systems live a perilously finite existence. Better operating systems, application software and search engines will come along and the current hero will be banished, forgotten, trashed.
Get your digit out, the English are fond of sayingmeaning, get cracking. Get your digit outand your penand jot a note on an index card. It still has a place in the digital world.
"A key tip: try to limit what you write on cards to a single topic or subject, such as a grocery list on one card, a hardware list on another. For work, keep cards for different people or areas of responsibility."
"I use a very fine-point pen to get lots of information on one card and I write neatlymost of the time."
"I almost never write on the backs, and this saves me from always having to turn cards around to see if there is writing on the back. Occasionally, when I'm taking a bunch of notes on one topic, like during a speech, then I'll write on the backs. But I number each card side, 1, 2, 3, which is my cue to look at the backs."
Steve also uses them to make daily lists of to-dos that he adds to and crosses off as he goes through the day.
They have been around for a century, they're as low-tech as they come, but 3 x 5 cards can fill an exalted role among twenty-first-century thinkers. Within the realm of capturing ideas and acting on them, they fill a niche that notebooks and electronics can't. What could be...
At Levenger, we first saw 3 x 5 cards as a larger and more functional business card. Stand them vertically so that they're 5 x 3, and you can write a note right on your business card.
Gradually, we've realized that their power goes beyond this. Three-by-fives are the stuff of 24/7 ideas, better than back-of-the-envelope yet engendering that same freewheeling kind of thinking that often leads to the Great Idea.
And they're not only for taking notes on the run. They're for anywhere and any way you capture, develop and organize ideas. That's why, in addition to our Pocket Briefcases for travel, you'll now find a variety of other options for note card organization and project planning.
Have you, like Steve, found a way to fit 3 x 5 into your repertoire of laptops, BlackBerries and iPods? Drop us an e-note at firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know how you use both a high-tech tool and the versatile low-tech power of 3 x 5.

Calvert soccer coach Mike Fabrizio said it was the best half Calvert played all season, as the Senecas went to the break against Old Fort down only 2-0.
But the Stockaders took control of the game in the second half, scoring five times and winning, 7-0 at Frost-Kalnow Stadium.
Garet Kimmet and Cole Davidson scored two goals each for Old Fort, while Tito Lopez, Brandon Tittle and Jose Carvalho all added a score.
Old Fort outshot the Senecas 43-8. Calvert goalkeeper Jacob Zimmerman made 18 saves.
"We played hard in second half too, but we made a few mistakes," Fabrizio said.
Warriors fall to Sandusky
Sandusky defeated Mohawk's girls soccer team, 1-0.
Alexys Jones scored Sandusky's lone goal. Mohawk had 10 shots on goal while Sandusky had five. Jenna Maggit had 10 saves while Runion had four for the Warriors.
Shelby blanks Rams
SHELBY - Upper Sandusky couldn't find victory against Shelby on Monday, falling 5-0 against the Whippets' tennis team.
In first singles, Shelby's Ashely Stahl downed Taylor Clark, 6-1, 6-3 while Katie Boor did the same to Kilee Saylor, 6-0, 6-2 in second singles.
Katie Bowman narrowly defeated Upper Sandusky's Jenny Ohler in a 7-5, 6-4 victory in third singles.
Chloe Yetzer and Sam Wiggins toppled Logan Pierson and Taylor Dilley in first doubles, 6-0, 6-0, while Macie Dechert and Allison Naugle repeated the win in second doubles, upending Megan Pasco and Nadia English, 6-0, 6-1.
Bender leads Old Fort over Bobcats
BETTSVILLE - Old Fort's Kristin Bender almost recorded a double-double en route to a 25-19, 25-15, 25-16 win over Bettsville.
Bender served nine aces, hammered 16 kills and had one block for Old Fort (2-9) while Sammy Miller had two aces and 10 digs. Sara Bell tossed up 15 assists and Sam Hartsel smashed four kills and registered two blocks.
2nd doubles scores lone win for Calvert
No singles player could pull out a win for the Senecas but one doubles team did, securing the lone victory in a 1-4 loss to Mansfield St. Peter.
St. Peter's Ann Carracher won first singles, 6-1, 6-3 over Madison Daniel while Janty Saunders won 6-0, 6-3 over CeCi Burtis in second singles. Margaret Bowers fell to Katie Larson, 7-5, 6-3 in third singles.

The loss drops Calvert to 2-6.

The 5 Most Baffling Marketing Crossovers Ever Attempted
When I was a kid, I didn't bat an eye when future trivia questions MC Hammer and Macaulay Culkin appeared in their own Saturday morning cartoons, or when blood-soaked sci-fi terror-violence fests like Total Recall and Darkman got turned into side-scrolling Mario-style Nintendo games. Cross-marketing is such a part of children's lives (because childhood is essentially one long commercial) that I don't think we're capable of realizing how insane it is until we reach adulthood, at which point we buy the same ridiculous crap all over again in the form of ironic T-shirts. Here are five of the most baffling attempts to branch successful properties out into other forms of media that they were never intended for.
#5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells Rock CD and Accompanying Live Stage Show
Mirage Studios
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, out to gallantly disprove the early '90s notion that they could do no wrong, hit the stage dressed like entertainers at Ziggy Stardust's birthday party to delight children in 40 cities across the country by eerily flapping their puppet mouths along to prerecorded music, just like New Kids on the Block. Both groups even have a member named Donnie.
Mirage Studios/Viacom via YouTube
That analogy was so perfect, it just high-fived itself with a rhinestone fingerless glove.
For Coming Out of Their Shells, the Turtles became glam rock Springsteen impersonators wearing studded leather bondage straps and rictus grins to engage in a tense music battle with the Shredder, because the production meeting that resulted in this show apparently involved taking all of the acid in the universe and throwing Ninja Turtle action figures at a Bon Jovi poster like darts.
Mirage Studios/Viacom
It was a game we all lost.
For those of us who weren't lucky enough to witness this nightmare live, they made a VHS of the show to preserve the dazzling experience for all time. Seeing the four turtles perform onstage is like watching a dead barbershop quartet lip-sync their way through an audition on The Voice with shock-induced muscle spasms. The Shredder insists he hates music, yet delivers a choreographed rap song that he clearly spent several hours putting together, which isn't something a proud non-student of musical theory would do. He also heckles the crowd like an insult comic while wearing a helmet with the face cut out of it for no conceivable reason.
Mirage Studios/Viacom via YouTube
"Eh, who gives a shit, am I right?"
Coming Out of Their Shells takes a firm hold of the idea that children love sing-alongs, bright colors, and the stupidest bullshit on the face of the planet and carries it screaming off into the hills without bothering to stop and think about why kids liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the first place. The Turtles are goofy comic superheroes who beat the hell out of robot ninjas. The closest thing they come to doing anything musical is passing out jaw fractures to a pair of learning disabled 1980s street punks named Bebop and Rocksteady. Why would kids suddenly be more interested if the Turtles dropped all of their stabbing and bludgeoning instruments of karate justice and picked up pastel-colored instruments of future VH1 career retrospection? Also, it's not possible to play a guitar, a saxophone, or a keyboard with only three fingers. It just isn't.
Mirage Studios/Viacom via YouTube
In fairness, that is but one of the many factual errors occurring in this picture.
#4. The Simpsons Sing the Blues -- The Simpsons Sing a Bunch of Blues Songs and Make Two Rap Videos Starring Bart Simpson
Twentieth Century Fox/Gracie Films/Geffen Records via YouTube
The Simpsons Sing the Blues (an album old enough to have been released on tape, vinyl, and CD simultaneously) came out in 1990, when Fox was in the midst of a crusade to put the Simpsons' jaundiced faces on absolutely everything they could with the unflinching determination of Erin Brockovich. Much like with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, music was not in any way a regular feature of The Simpsons, nor could it be assumed that the relatively youthful demographic the show was appealing to would be interested in hearing a bunch of gratingly overcharacterized cartoon voices do karaoke versions of old blues songs. Evidently they thought the Venn diagram of Simpsons viewers and 1940s blues musicians was just one big circle.
Twentieth Century Fox/Gracie Films/Geffen Records
One big circle made of dollar signs.
It was also back when The Simpsons was focused almost entirely on Bart, and despite the fact that the album title specifically indicates the singing of blues songs, the only two music videos released to promote the album were of Bart Simpson rapping about dancing and getting in trouble. Admittedly, these are two things that anyone can relate to, but Bart doesn't do anything that can be referred to as singing, and "Do the Bartman" is unlikely to ever be considered a classic blues standard. Considering the two Bart songs were the driving force behind The Simpsons Sing the Blues going multiplatinum, I'm baffled as to why they didn't just make the whole thing a rap album. The record came out in 1990, so that conversation almost certainly took place. It's not like the end of the Reagan era was the scene of a major blues revival. It's as if the producers made their decision based entirely on a psychic hotline consultation, and even then I'm pretty sure they misheard the psychic.
Twentieth Century Fox/Gracie Films/Geffen Records via YouTube
For example, describing this shot over the phone would probably result in at least one visit from the FBI.
Also, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were featured performers on the second Bart Simpson rap video. Let that soak in for a moment -- Will Smith contributed barely noticeable background vocals in a song for The Simpsons. The world was a different place in 1990.
#3. Mortal Kombat: The Live Tour Turns Mortal Kombat into a Pro Wrestling Aerobics Class
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/David Fishof Presents via YouTube
Sometime in 1995, after three years of doggedly insisting that Mortal Kombat was not intended for children, the game's producers decided to develop its razor-thin plotline into a touring stage production to coincide with the release of a goofball fantasy action movie, a cartoon series, and a line of G.I. Joe action figures, three things that are almost exclusively intended for children.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/David Fishof Presents via YouTube
Clearly this is meant for a mature audience sipping cocktails in their evening wear.
Mortal Kombat: The Live Tour involved a theatrical laser light show documenting the titanic struggle of a bunch of fitness instructors doing karate poses to mid-'90s techno music in order to save the world from an evil piece of jewelry. Children in the audience were encouraged to shout commands at characters onstage that in some cases bore as much resemblance to their video game counterparts as a hastily constructed police sketch compiled from highly questionable testimony.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/David Fishof Presents via YouTube
Pictured: the same character, apparently.
The most amazing moments of the tour undoubtedly occurred when the cast members appeared, in character, on local news broadcasts to promote it. In this genre-defining piece of unintentional comedy, Shang Tsung lays down some moon man babble phonics about how the show isn't about violence (which is utterly what Mortal Kombat is about), but is actually about teaching positive lessons to children, a lesson he and his noble compatriots somehow convey by beating each other up in Halloween costumes. Shang Tsung delivers this speech while glaring fixedly at the news anchor as if he is trying to undo the man's Windsor knot with his mind fingers.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/David Fishof Presents via YouTube
"I dare you to say this show is about violence. I fucking dare you."
What makes this even more hilarious is that they've clearly elected Shang Tsung to speak for them, presumably because he is the most articulate member of the group. This can only mean that every other member of the Mortal Kombat squad must've bitten their tongues off in a motorcycle accident on the way to a remedial reading class. They just stand rigid and motionless in the background like they're waiting to hear their names called out in a draft lottery. The whole thing is a Smurf and a Disney princess away from the Ice Capades, and it is being held in celebration of a game about joyously murdering your opponent in the most creatively humiliating way possible.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/David Fishof Presents via YouTube
To be fair, these guys seem to have mastered creative humiliation.

on January 25, 2013 - 1:00 AM
Next weekend, pianist Alain Lefevre is joining the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Music Director JoAnn Falletta for a dramatic program.
Lefevre, who is French-Canadian, is performing an unusual concerto, the Piano Concerto No. 4 by the French-Canadian composer Andre Mathieu. As a boy in the 1930s, Mathieu was a prodigy admired by Rachmaninoff and honored in Paris as "the Quebec Mozart." But life was not easy for him and he died in 1968, only 39, because of alcoholism and related mental illness.
In interviews, Lefevre has talked about how he became a champion of Mathieu's music. He was 15 when he heard one of the composer's pieces through the door of a practice room, and was thunderstruck. "I wasn't looking for him, but he found me," Lefevre has said. "Our encounter, I think, was ruled by fate."
The Piano Concerto No. 4 has a spacious, passionate, tumultuously Romantic sound, like Rachmaninoff. Mathieu began sketching the piece as a boy but left it unfinished. Scholars including Lefevre pieced it together from fragments. Lefevre has recorded the concerto on the Analekta label with the Tucson Symphony.
The concert begins with the Dance Symphony of Aaron Copland, and ends with Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," a masterpiece originally conceived for piano but orchestrated by Maurice Ravel.
Catch this variegated program at 10:30 next Friday and 8 p.m. Feb. 2. Admission is $31-$51 on Friday, or $32-$77 on Saturday. Call 885-5000.

I did get to go to an awesome event Thursday night, sponsored by Yahoo! (thanks, Yahoo!) with the bloggers of the Silicon Valley Moms Blog and Chicago Moms Blog (I write over there sometimes!) We partied it up at Viand in downtown Chicago and from the moment I drove my car up to the complimentary valet and was escorted into the restaurant "I'm with the Chicago Moms Blog" - I was taken to a roped off area and ushered in... so very V.I.P., I tell you!
(Ok, I'll admit that from the moment I got in my car and had an hour + to spend alone on my way downtown felt very V.I.P., too. It was heavenly!)
There was delicious food, fabulous chatter, and lots of great swag! I got to see my gal pals- the "original batch" of Chicago Mom Bloggers- Amy (she's live-blogging this weekend), Me, MJ, Sara (also live-blogging this weekend!), Danielle, & Jessica; and I met many more fantastic, creative, & super-smart Moms that I hope to see again! Jill and Beth from Silicon Valley Moms are awesome and I feel privileged to work with those two!
...Amy & I take a picture of our cute selves
After that great evening, I was really wishing I could attend the conference this weekend, but next year will be much easier for me to sneak away for a couple days... I'm really hoping it's somewhere awesome- like California or Hawaii!
Now, with all these parties about blogging, and blogging about blogging, I think I need a blogging vacation! Who knew!

Wow, I didn't see any reports with actual names or anything like that. I'm starting to think we really do lowball everyone we try to deal with. We've trying to trade a division rival for the face of the franchise and captain, and we don't even offer two roster players...unreal. How is this "one hell of an offer"?
That's one "Holland' of an offer!"

County ranks 50th out of 88 in health
March 21, 2013
LISBON — Columbiana County is ranked 50th out of Ohio's 88 counties in terms of general health, according to a study presented at the Columbiana County Health Department's board meeting Wednesday....
The more Government grows and controls, the worse it gets!
That is the only unspoken TRUE STATISTIC!

So Columbiana is in the lower half of the middle of the pack. Big fat hairy deal. And since there's nothing anybody can do to affect the health of everybody else, it doesn't much matter anyways.

"Vins specifically noted how automobile fatalities have fallen in the recent past, from 17 in 2011 to 14 in 2012."
Vins, seriously, do you laugh all the way to the bank?

Train your lawn
If you water your lawn every day, you are encouraging shallow roots. By spreading out your watering you can help your lawn to establish deeper roots that will help it survive drought periods. Generally watering deeper, less days per week will encourage deeper root growth and a more healthy lawn.
Remove only one third of the grass length at each mowing. Try to mow weekly in spring – cutting too much at once stresses the grass. Leave the clippings on the lawn. "Grasscycling" provides free fertilizer (at least ¼ of your lawn's needs), helps lawns grow greener and denser, and doesn't cause thatch buildup. You can grasscycle with your existing mower. For best results, keep the blade sharp, mow when the grass is dry, and mow a little more often in the spring. Clippings left scattered on the surface will break down quickly - if there are clumps mow again to break them up.
Using proper soil preparation and lawn maintenance practices will help to build healthy soil and vigorous, deep-rooted lawns. These lawns are more resistant to disease, tolerate some insect and drought damage, and will out-compete many weeds.
Water At Night
Make sure you only water when the sun is down to reduce evaporation losses. Many irrigation experts feel the best time to water is between midnight and 6 a.m. because evaporation in kept to a minimum.
Repair All Leaks
Check your automatic irrigation system for leaks. To detect a leak in your irrigation system, you must shut down all water use inside your home and be fairly certain that there is no leakage occurring indoors. Once you have done this, you can use your water meter to see if any water continues to flow into your system. To do this, follow the instructions detailed in the water meter page.
Drought Response
The name of the game for lawn care under a drought is "low maintenance." In general: Fertilize less, mow taller and water smarter. During a drought emergency you may be asked to substantially restrict your outdoor watering. Drought response plans vary from place to place, but they all include irrigation restrictions. Complying with drought restrictions will almost certainly require you to reprogram your irrigation controller (if you have one) and substantially cut back or even eliminate outdoor watering. Below are some tips for making the most of restricted irrigation during a drought emergency.
First, minimize fertilization. Lush lawns look great, but heavily fertilized lawns use more water and are more susceptible to drought stress. Most commercial lawn fertilizers call for multiple steps, including a second application of fertilizer about six weeks after the first one. During a drought this is too much. Remember, fall is the most critical time to fertilize a lawn.
Set your mower at a higher level than usual. Cutting your lawn short requires additional water to make it grow. You may not have that water to use on your lawn. Leave it shaggier than usual.
Water smarter using some of the suggestions below.
Alternating Day Watering
In the early stages of a drought, many response plans restrict irrigation to every other day or three days a week often based upon your address. To comply with these restrictions you must reprogram your irrigation controller so that it only waters on the specified days or restrict your manual watering.
Severe Drought Actions
In a severe drought that stretches over several years lawn irrigation with an automatic system may be banned completely and hose irrigation severely restricted. We hope this day will never come, but if it does we must all chip in and do our part. This means shutting down your sprinkler system. Remember, human beings throughout history have survived terrible droughts. It won't be pleasant. It will be inconvenient. You will make it through. The actions you take will determine how much of your landscape will make it through.
OK, you no longer have an operating sprinkler system and your outdoor hose watering is all but eliminated. What do you do?
Prioritize Plants in Your Landscape
The first thing to do in this situation is to prioritize your landscape into three categories: 1) High value/must save; 2) Moderate value/try to save; and 3) Low value/save if possible.
High value plants usually include valuable trees and shrubs that have taken years to establish that will die without water. Moderate value plants might include certain perennials, newer shrubs that can be replaced, and drought tolerant Xeriscape type plants that will require little water anyway. Low value plants usually includes turf grass (which can often bounce back successfully from a complete dry out) and annuals.
The old saying is still true, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". If there is a drought forecast for your area – plant more drought resistant plants. See the Xeriscape section of this site for some suggestions.
Tap into Graywater Irrigation Water Sources
It's time for drastic measures. It's time to get creative. The more water you can capture from your faucets, shower, bathtub, and clothes washer the more plants you can probably help survive the drought. You don't need to have an elaborate graywater collection and treatment system (although you might consider this option). Place basins in your kitchen and bathroom sinks to capture water that can then be put on plants outside. If you take a bath, don't drain the water! Use buckets to haul the bath water outside for your thirsty plants. You can also keep a bucket in the shower with you to capture water. Capturing and reusing the clothes washer water may be more difficult, but it is certainly possible to do. If you do this, be sure to use laundry detergent that won't harm your plants.
Place rain barrels at the bottom of your roof downspouts. If any rain does fall you'll be able to use the water more effectively on the plants that really need it.
Ration Water Across Your Landscape
Use your ration of hose water to water your high value plants and trees first. If nothing else, you want to make it through the drought with those plants alive. If there is sufficient water, move on to the moderate value plants, etc. If you do not have further water from the hose, use your graywater on the moderate value plants and then finally the low value plants.
Keep your moderate and low value plants on a starvation diet. Contact local hortaculturalists and plant experts to determine the minimum amount of water required to keep your plants alive. Some plants can survive (not flourish, but survive) on a small amount of water delivered once per week.

The San Antonio Spurs (40-7) made sure they got the win before going on the long Rodeo Road Trip against the Houston Rockets. They went 5-8 from behind the arc in the fourth period, including two tightly contested 3-pointers by Manu Ginobili to pull away and beat the Houston Rockets 108-95.
Now, it's time to look at the numbers in this Spurs' recent win.
88.9 – The Spurs went to the foul line a lot and took advantage of it. They went 24-27 (88.9%) of their free throw attempts. The Rockets, on the other hand, made just 10-16 (62.5%) foul shots.
40 – The Spurs reached 40 wins in just 47 games, tying the record for the sixth fewest games needed to reach 40 wins in NBA history. Of the previous seven teams to reach 40 wins in 47 games or fewer, six went on to win the NBA title. The last time the Spurs were the first NBA team to reach 40 wins was in the 2004-05 season, when they went on to win their third NBA title.
39 – The Rockets won the battle of the boards, outrebounding the Spurs 39-32.
25 – The Spurs shot 8-16 (50.0%) from behind the arc while holding the Rockets to just 5-20 (25.0%) from the 3-point area.
24 – San Antonio's running game was effective, outscoring the Rockets 24-13 on fast break points.
23 – Luis Scola had a game-high 23 points for Houston and added 10 rebounds and three steals.
22 – Ginobili led the Spurs with 22 points, four assists and two steals. Both teams were even in the assists department, finishing 22 dimes a piece.
18 – Richard Jefferson played his best offensive game in the last 12 games scoring 18 points on 7-8 field goal shooting. The Spurs won their 18th straight home game, extending the longest home winning streak in the NBA this season.
17 – Tony Parker added 17 points and five assists for the Spurs.
14 – DeJuan Blair had 14 points and 12 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season. George Hill scored 14 points and had five assists off the Spurs' bench.
12 – Tim Duncan chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes for the Spurs.
10 – Chuck Hayes and Kevin Martin scored 10 points apiece for the Rockets.
9 – The Spurs will play nine straight games away from home for this year's annual Rodeo Road Trip.
3 – The Spurs had six blocks shots for the game, three coming from Blair. The Rockets had three blocks as a team.
0 – Hill and Tiago Splitter did not commit a single turnover for the entire game.
Rookie Watch: Splitter had three points and three rebounds in 14 minutes. Gary Neal had two points, one assist and a steal in 21 minutes of action. James Anderson scored two points and one rebound in only three minutes of playing time. This was his first game with the Spurs after recovering from a stress fracture injury and being recalled from a short stint with the Austin Toros.
What's Next? The Spurs will visit the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden on Tuesday to start their annual Rodeo Road Trip.

ERIE - This Double-A thing has been a piece of cake so far for Jameson Taillon.
Four starts. Four wins. Three runs total in 22 innings. A 1.23 ERA.
The prized prospect already has shown the ability to dominate a lineup when he has his best stuff. But what Taillon showed on a frigid Saturday afternoon against Erie was impressive in its own right.
"He didn't really have his best stuff today, but he competed, and that's what we're looking for every five days," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said.
Taillon battled without his good fastball in his first start of the season but still shut out Erie for five innings in the Curve's 6-3 win before 1,131 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
"I didn't feel my best today but went out there and made it work and competed through five," the 21-year-old right-hander said.
Taillon went 3-0 in three starts for the Curve late last season. He didn't give up a run his first two starts, then allowed three in his season finale at Erie.
His return to Jerry Uht Park was much different - much colder as it was around 30 degrees at game time - but Taillon (1-0) managed to battle through the elements and pitch a an effective game. He threw 75 pitches (43 strikes) in five innings, allowed four hits, struck out four and walked one.
"The goal is to get out there and just compete, hit my pitch count, be efficient, put the team in position to win, and I think I accomplished most of those," Taillon said.
The Curve offense gave Taillon an early lead with single runs in the first and second innings, and the young pitcher overcame a tough first inning (22 pitches) to enjoy a solid day.
"He threw a lot of pitches in the first inning, but the rest of the game he settled down, tried to establish the inside part of the plate," Garcia said.
Even when he doesn't have his best stuff, Taillon believes one of his strengths is he has enough in his repertoire to feel confident that he can get through a lineup.
"I didn't have my best fastball, but I did have a good curveball and I did have a good changeup, so that's always something I can fall back on," Taillon said. "I can throw them for strikes, I can throw them 0-2, I can pretty much throw them in any count. It's good to have in my back pocket."
Taillon is from Texas and spent his first two seasons of pro ball at West Virginia and Bradenton, so Saturday was the first time he's had to pitch in brutal cold weather. That's what he will have to do when he gets to Pittsburgh, so Saturday was a good lesson.
"It's good to get out in the cold and learn how to do it," he said.
The Curve offense put together another good day, ripping 11 hits and getting three apiece from left fielder Andrew Lambo and third baseman Adalberto Santos. Altoona has a .300 team batting average through three games, due largely to a strong heart of the order that includes Lambo, Santos and Matt Curry.
"We feed off each other's at-bats," said Santos, who's hitting .455. "If Curry hits a line drive and Lambo hits a line drive and I'm up, it makes me more eager to go up there and be ready. With those two guys in front of me it's exciting to get ready to hit."
Altoona scored two runs - one earned - off Erie starter and former Curve pitcher Derek Hankins (0-1) over 4 2/3 innings. The offense added two more runs in the sixth and one in the seventh before Lambo hit a solo homer in the ninth.
Nathan Baker got out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and closed it out in the ninth to earn his first save.
SUBHD: Game recap
Key player: RHP Jameson Taillon pitched five shutout innings for the Curve.
Key play: Altoona scored in the first and second innings to give Taillon a quick 2-0 lead.
Key stat: Taillon has allowed only three runs over 22 innings in four Double-A starts.
SUBHD: How they scored
Top 1st: Rojas singled, scored on Curry sacrifice fly (1-0).
Top 2nd: Santos singled, scored on Cutler double (2-0).
Top 6th: Lambo walked, scored on Howard single (3-0); Santos reached on Douglas error, scored on Ngoepe sacrifice fly (4-0).
Bottom 6th: Perez solo homer (4-1).
Top 7th: Curry singled, scored on Santos single (5-1).
Bottom 8th: Johnson doubled, scored on Perez single (5-2).
Top 9th: Lambo solo homer (6-2).
Bottom 9th: Jones doubled, scored on Fields sacrifice fly (6-3).

EAST LIVERPOOL - The newly formed Southern Columbiana County Regional Chamber of Commerce is now open for business, having been formed Jan. 1 with the merger of East Liverpool and Calcutta chambers.
"The purpose of the merger was to strengthen the voice of the business community in the southern part of the county and to improve benefits for our members," according to Todd Alexander, who has been elected the group's first president.
Serving with him will be Dan Wolfe, vice president, with Cathy Snow currently serving as acting director.
Former directors Pam Hoppel and Debbie Smith will no longer be serving in those positions, according to Alexander, who also said that, for now, the SCCRC will be operating just the downtown office but plans to have a presence in St. Clair Township also.
He explained that St. Clair trustees have decided they may need the former chamber office in the administration building for other purposes, so it is currently not available for a SCCRC office. He said the group will be looking for another township office in the future.
"Our intent is to be just as strong in both communities. Our intent was to be in both places," Alexander said.
Some meetings of the new chamber will be held at the Peter Metrovich Community Room at St. Clair's administration building, he said.
Although just weeks old, the SCCRC has been active, already holding its first board meeting.
In addition, it has been contacted by four companies interested in joining the group, has partnered for the first Safety Council meeting, established a new website which is still under construction and has met in a day-long session with a representative of the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation.
Next up is the Sunrise Breakfast Forum set for Jan. 29 at Kent State University-East Liverpool campus, featuring Linda Woggon, executive vice president of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce as guest speaker.
This event is being sponsored by SCCRC member Heritage Thermal Services.
Another breakfast forum is being planned for spring, as well as a banquet, and the annual Fun Day held by the former East Liverpool chamber will continue in August.
Organizations interested in joining can call 330-385-0845 or send an email to email@example.com. The new website can be found at www.sccregionalchamber.org.

Sorry about not posting anything lately, I have been real busy with practices and school work, and actually do not currently have the internet at my apartment. For some reason it is not working so I haven't been able to get on here lately. My fault.
Anyways, lately we have had 2 weekends of scrimmages and practices everyday. We started off scrimmaging Loyola and Delaware on February 2 at Maryland. Scrimmages went well and luckily the weather was nice so it made it more enjoyable. We played Loyola first, which was a rematch from our fall scrimmage. It was a low scoring game but we found a lot of positives out there that we built off of for the upcoming games. We then played Delaware and that was more of a high pace, scoring game for us. In all the day was successful for us and we got a lot accomplished.
The following weekend (this past weekend) we headed up to Princeton to play them, another rematch of the fall. We came out on fire and built up a good lead. The weather wasn't the greatest but it was still fun to play against a highly competitive team and to see where we would match up. Things went well and that leads us into this week. This week we are focusing on certain things that we noticed didn't go well in the scrimmage that we want to fix for the season. We rap up our preseason with scrimmages on Saturday here at Maryland, against Harvard and someone else. This is our last chance to work the kinks out and get everything on track for our opening game against Georgetown.
Our scrimmages are winding down and we are all looking forward to the season to start. We are really excited about our team this year and how we all came together. Should be interesting to see what happens when the season officially starts up and we will go from there: starting at Georgetown.

And the season begins…. We started actual practice this week and it feels good to get it going. But it feels pretty cold out too. We are starting up our stick drills and getting comfortable in full pads again. The freshman are getting accustomed to the usual routine and fitting in with the team. This has been a full week of practice with no classes for me. My winter class ended last Friday and now I am just waiting for the spring semester to start. This week has all been about lacrosse and getting focused on the season again. This week of no school has helped with the free time to relax and rest from practice. Nothing beats hanging out on the couch relaxing watching good television or a good movie. Not to mention having bags of ice all over my legs from bruises already. That is probably the best part about spring: bruises all over, not. The long practices gives the shooters more time to hit me and man it hurts. I am not going to lie, getting hit with the ball is not fun, especially in practice in the cold weather. The bruises, welts, and swelling never ends but it comes with the job. I would never trade my position on the field for any one them. I love being between the pipes and facing shots day after day. Why? I do not know. And yes, it hurts, but oh well. Although practices are tiring and drain me, I continue to look forward to the next one to get back on the field, between the pipes to face the next shot that comes at me.

The last week of winter session is windy down. We are getting in shape and looking forward to the season which is right around the corner. As we are all preparing for finals of our January term class, we are pushing ourselves even harder on the field. We haven't gotten used to waking up at 6am but we know it's well worth it. The veterans on the team call this week Christmas with lacrosse. Every morning we come in for running and there is a new type of gear in our lockers. Whether it is new G22 gloves, stx armpads, shoulder pads, heads, stringing sticks, or under armor gear, we are excited to get it. Everyone is stringing up their sticks, dying their sticks, adjusting their helmets, or lacing up their cleats. The excitement is building and we are ready for the 2008 season to come. Once this week is over, all the new gear that we get is going to be put to use on the fields and we will be going at it full throttle. We have a bad taste in our mouths' from last year and ready to take on whoever comes in front of us. This past month of waking up before the sun is even up is for the next couple months to come. We have put in the hard work with the conditioning part, now here comes the fun part of laxin' it up on the field.

After my first half week of practice, I couldn't wait for the weekend to just do nothing. The weekends are valuable during winter term because it allows you to finally be able to sleep in. Having to get up at 6am every morning and work out then go straight to class is no fun. On the weekends though is a good time for our team to hang out and bond. During the winter term, there are not many students on campus so it is mainly just our team and a few other students. This allows for our team to hang out together and develop a strong bond right before the season starts up. This past weekend we all hung out and watched football. Nothing is better than NFL playoffs. And the BCS championship is on tonight. We all get together and watch the games together and some of the kids on our team are big Ohio State fans so its fun to watch it with them. But now it is back to boot camp and running and lifting and class for a full week. It is good to get in shape and start up the season but it is a lot of tough work, I can't wait to have it all pay off in the upcoming spring.

One day after New Year's Day and I am back in College Park practicing for the 2008 lacrosse season already. I am also taking a January term 3 credit class so that started January 2nd, same day that preseason practice started for me. I arrived back in College Park on New Year's Day around 9pm, just in time to unpack and get settled back in my for routine for January. Wednesday, my first day, was not a typical January day for me. I woke up around 8:25 to get to my 9 o'clock class on time. My class goes from 9-12:15 Monday through Friday. So on Wednesday after class, I came home and took a nap before going to my first running practice at 5pm. At practice, we ran and lifted for about an hour and forty five minutes. We did a circuit of drills for about 20 minutes that consisted of short, explosive sprints with about 50 yards sprints in between drills. After running, we headed into the weight room for our ab work out, followed by our lifting routine. After a strenuous workout, I was beat and ready to get home and relax. I got a good meal for dinner and put a movie on and was set for the night. Now, I just had to set my alarm for 6:15 to start my typical January day on Thursday.After hitting snooze on my alarm once and getting up at 6:20, I had to head on over to the team house for work out number two beginning at 7am. After running several long sprints and a stick drills work out, I had to quickly shower and head on over to my 9 o'clock class. After paying attention for just over three hours in my class, I was headed home and to bed. I was ready to take a nap and sleep forever, until waking up, watching a movie, getting food, and setting my alarm for 6:15 to do it all over again.
