INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The 2012 start-of-summer impaired driving awareness and enforcement campaign for the Washoe County Sheriff's Office kicks off June 29, in an effort "to help save lives by cracking down on those who choose to drive impaired," according to a press release.
This enforcement mobilization runs from June 29 through July 8.
The "Joining Forces" impaired driving awareness and enforcement campaign is possible by grant funding from the Nevada Department of Public Safety/Office of Traffic Safety. "Joining Forces" is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement program that promotes statewide enforcement in the areas of DUI, seat belt and speed and pedestrian safety. The purpose of this event is to educate the driving public in regard to DUI laws, to enforce the community's no tolerance stance towards impaired driving and to remind people that it's never safe to drive impaired.
During the campaign, Washoe County Sheriff's Office will join forces with the Reno and Sparks police departments and Nevada Highway Patrol by strongly enforcing DUI laws around the clock.
"Saturation patrols are effective ways law enforcement can help reduce a person's chance of getting behind the wheel after having alcoholic intoxicants," the press release reads. "Through awareness and enforcement we want to eliminate the risk a person takes when impaired and deter everyone from ever driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs."
"Too many drivers take the chance and drive after having too much to drink," said Deputy Armando Avina in a statement. "Our goal is to save lives, so we are 'Joining Forces' with state and local law enforcement officers through the Fourth of July holiday to deter motorist from driving impaired."

LOCKPORT – One driver was sentenced and another pleaded guilty in Niagara County Court Wednesday in cases involving violations of Leandra's Law, the state statute that adds extra penalties for driving drunk with passengers age 15 or younger in the vehicle.
An 18-year-old Royalton man was granted youthful offender status by Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas and sentenced to five years' probation, four weekends in jail and fines and fees totaling $5,470. He was arrested March 25 in Newfane with two passengers, ages 14 and 15, who also were drinking.
Rosita Rosa, 30, of 10th Street, Niagara Falls, pleaded guilty to aggravated driving while intoxicated and was scheduled for sentencing Jan. 30. Rosa was arrested after her car rear-ended a minivan on Memorial Parkway in Niagara Falls May 5. Her children, then 3 and 8 years old, were in the car. Rosa's blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.19 percent, more than twice the legal limit.

The song that brought One Direction together. The very first song that One Direction sang together. "Torn" is a song that Directioners will never forget. It's what created our world, One Direction. We must all praise this powerful song. This song is the reason why One Direction made it to the X-Factor, and the reason why true Directioners started to love them.
"'Wut Maks u Butiful' is the VERY 1th song Won Dierctin sang!1!!" said the Directionator
"Bitch please, it's all about Torn" fucked the Directioner

City of West Linn Robinwood Neighborhood Association (RNA, RN to be used for Robinwood Neighborhood) Monthly Meeting Minutes Tuesday, 6/10/08 Kevin Bryck, President, called the meeting to order at 7:07 PM. Scott Sandie, RNA Treasurer, noted that the RNA fiscal year account balance was $872.06. The May 2008 RNA meeting minutes were unanimously approved. Items Discussed Meeting Attendees – Voting Rights Various residents spoke of their interest in revising the by-laws of the RNA to allow any meeting attendee to vote (not just those meeting attendees who had attended a RNA meeting once in the past 12 months). A motion was made, seconded, and passed (19 in favor, 1 in opposition, 1 abstention) to eliminate the 'must have attended one RNA meeting in the last 12 months' qualifier when determining voting rights. Development of 18395 Shady Hollow Drive (across the street from Burgerville) David Amani, owner of lots in question (3 tax lots comprising over 2 acres of land), and his business associates (land-use planning consultant Marty Stiven, traffic specialist – Frank Charbonneau) spoke with residents about his interest in having the lot rezoned, from R10, to support his development objectives. Mr. Amani told the residents that the application process he is in engaged in is to amend West Linn's comprehensive plan and to execute a zone change (not to proceed with an exact development plan). One option is to rezone it R2.1 allowing for a maximum of 43 units (townhomes at approximately 2100 sq. ft. per unit) versus the 9 homes (each home being of a size similar to each of the townhome structures in the R2.1 zoning plan) that would be possible with the current R10 zoning – Mr. Amani did note that he expects to be able 75% of the maximum amount of units possible for any zoning. Residents raised the following two concerns: • Why not go a density in between R10 and R2.1 (such as R4.5)? • It's difficult to vote on the viability of a zone change application if the final use of the land, after rezoning, is still in question. • Impact on traffic patterns On the traffic issue, Traffic Specialist Mr. Charbonneau considered the following in his study: • Current traffic patterns • Projected traffic pattern changes through 2013 • Projected traffic pattern changes if zoning changes from R10 to R2.1 • Impact on traffic flow if an entrance to Robinwood Park is established off Shady Hollow Drive was not considered Mr. Charbonneau's study predicts that a change to R2.1 zoning would triple the projected incremental trip generation for the streets and intersections in question. One resident noted that increased delays at the intersection of Shady Hollow and 43 might persuade people to access 43 from Arbor Drive. Ms. Stiven proposed that a condition be added to the comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change application asking that Mr. Amani and his development team work with ODOT to have access to the rezoned, developed lots from 43. Ms. Stiven then noted that residents would still have a chance to voice their thoughts on this matter at the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings on the matter. At this time, two motions were made, seconded, and passed to terminate discussion on the development of these lots and invite Mr. Amani and his development team back to the July RNA meeting. Kantara Way The applicant has appealed the City Council's decision to ratify the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the application (appeal supported by the RNA) to LUBA. Gordon Howard will prepare documentation on the city's behalf required as part of the LUBA appeal process. Johnson Property Mayor King and Councilor Eberle joined in 'calling up' the planning department director's decision on the Johnson property for review by the City Council. This review will occur at the City Council meeting on Monday, 7/14 at 6:30 PM. Meeting Minutes 20080610 Page 2 of 2 RN Picnic A motion was made, seconded, and passed (13 in favor, 2 opposed, 4 abstentions) to not have a RN picnic this year. Use of Remaining Funds in RNA Account After considering four options for spending the remaining monies in the RNA account by 6/30, a motion was made, seconded, and unanimously approved to proceed as follows: • Commit $300 to Arts Festival in the Forest to achieve their Love the Arts sponsorship level (Dave Froode may have already worked with City Hall, possibly you, to route these monies to this event as we signed a sponsorship agreement form at the 6/10 meeting). • Commit remaining $572.06 to the Arts Festival in the Forest fund on an interim basis (so we don't forfeit the monies should they go unused by 6/30) until we can find an appropriate canopy solution for the toddler equipment at Midhill Park (Tina Decker, RNA VP, is teaming with Ken Worcester to identify the best solution - there's no tree cover for the equipment and it gets too hot to use). When an appropriate solution is determined, the monies would be spent on that solution. Dave Froode approved of the Arts account as a holder of these monies. • If the $572.06 cannot be used as discussed in the second bullet, all $872.06 is to be distributed to, and used by at their discretion, the Arts Festival in the Forest. A motion was made, seconded, and passed for this third bullet (16 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 1 abstention). Relating to the continuing use of RNA monies, a motion was made, seconded, and passed (16 in favor, 1 in opposition, and 0 abstentions) to commit $20 per month to food and/or drinks for the monthly RNA meeting. Committee Reports Parks Committee (speaking, Tina Decker) • More participation is needed - if interested in participating in this committee, call Tina Decker at (503) 810-9163. • This committee plans to address needs at Cedar Oak Bridge, Cedar Island, Robinwood Park, Midhill Park, and Mary S. Young state park, and the needs of trails. Streets Committee (Curt Sommer) • Sidewalks on 43 are not wide enough to support bus shelters where needed. A resident suggested teaming with the Presbyterian Church to move ahead on a bus shelter for the bus stop nearest the church. Miscellaneous Updates • The City Council recently revised Code 99 of the CDC – Kevin Bryck has the amendments and they are also available on the city website. Meeting adjourned at 8:46 PM. Minutes authored by Scot Sandie, RNA Secretary

"There were lots of parts of the movie where there was no script, and we would have to go with the flow and see what Robin would do," says Hammond, now 32, who played one of the Lost Boys in 1991's Hook.
"He was always encouraging me," he adds.
Even the film's final twist, in which Williams's Peter Pan grows up and passes his sword to one of the Lost Boys, was a surprise to the film's young stars.
"Nobody knew who it would be except Robin and [director] Steven [Spielberg]," Hammond tells PEOPLE. "I never thought it would be me. I was playing Thud Butt, just the funny little kid on the side. It wasn't until they said, 'Action,' and he just smiled really big at me and handed me the sword [that I knew]. To this day, when I see the scene I'm still always amazed."
Exceedingly friendly to everyone on set, "he really was truly Peter Pan," Hammond says. "His energy level alone. I never saw him down or even tired. The role really fit him."
Currently working on a short film, Thud Butt vs. Rufio, based on the Hook characters, Hammond had emailed Williams to see if he would be interested in making a brief cameo.
"Next thing you know I get a call from him. He said, 'Hey, Thud. This is Rob. What's goin' on?' " says Hammond, who has starred in his own music, magic and comedy show for 16 years.
"I was a little nervous, telling him I've been trying to be a director for years, and that I would love to have him literally be in the frame of the camera for a moment," he says. "He kind of giggled just for a second and then he said, 'Okay.' I held my breath and then he goes, 'Just tell me whenever you're ready.' I said, 'I'm in Kentucky, but when I get back I'll give you a call. And he said, 'Okay, beautiful.' "
"I'm still in shock that he's gone," Hammond says.
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
The Williams family is asking well-wishers to send contributions to charities close to the actor's heart in lieu of flowers. Suggested organizations include St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Challenged Athletes, USO, the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco.

Where you give up everything so you can be with your woman. This means blowing off your buddies so you can spend the whole weekend at your girlfriends house, spending crap loads of money on Christmas, Birthdays, movies, dinner (even though you can't afford it) and being at her beckon call. What you once were is history, because you slowly become something else so you can met her expectations, because she usually is high matienance, demanding jewelry and designer clothes
He is so pussy whipped cause he had to save up for a long time so he could buy his woman diamonds and other expensive shit.

Top newcomers: Jeremiah Harp (Fr. middle distance, distance); Patriq Jones (Fr. sprints); Vito Guerrero (Fr. sprints); John Terry (Fr. throws).
Outlook: The Indians are loaded with talent and are deep in just about every event. There are 108 boys out for, and with those kind of numbers — including 40 returners — this will be a tough team to beat in the postseason.
Coach: Mike Oliveri (1st year)
NIC-10 finish: 4th place
Key returners: Kyle Kling (Sr. throws); Jared Kern (Sr. throws); Cameron Baxter (Sr. discus); Tim Martin (Sr. sprints); Andrew Selgren (Sr. hurdles).
Top newcomers: Kyle Behan (So. sprints, jumps); Dakota Knutsen (Jr. sprints); Scott Kirker (So. middle distance); Grant Hume (So. middle distance); Ben Reese (So. sprints); Brandon Sherbon (Jr. middle distance, sprints); Malik Lightfoot (Jr. sprints, jumps).
Outlook: Anchored by the two best throwers in the conference, Harlem will put up more of a fight for the top spot. The Huskies have 65 on the team, including four shot putters who could be at or near the top on any other NIC-10 team's depth chart.
Belvidere North
Coach: Troy Yunk (7th year)
NIC-10 finish: 1st place
Key returners: Todd Berkenpas (Sr. high jump, hurdles); Logan Zeien (Sr. middle distance); Ben Nordman (Sr. sprints); Eryk Yunk (So. distance); Jacob Howe (Sr. distance); Nathan Dulgar (Jr. sprints); Travis Dworzynski (Jr. sprints); Mike Kissel (So. shot put);
Top newcomers: Scot Hornick (Jr. sprints); Sam Brown (Fr. pole vault).
Outlook: The Blue Thunder lost three of their big scorers in the distance races to graduation, and they will feel it. Garrett Lee, Tyler Yunk and Paxson Menard won races on a consistent basis, and those points will be much harder to come by this season.
Coach: Franklin Craig (3rd year)
NIC-10 finish: 3rd place
Key returners: Tony Mazzola (Sr. pole vault); Gerraddo Castillo (Sr. distance); Aarron Minneyfield (Sr. distance); Tim Willis (Sr. sprints, jumps); Jaylen Goldsmith (Sr. sprints); Adrian Cuevas (Jr. sprints); Mike Rodriguez (Sr. distance); Luis Davila (Jr. distance); Joe Hendal (Sr. sprints).
Top newcomers: Zack Tucker (Sr. hurdles, high jump); Andre Ford (Fr. hurdles, high jump).
Outlook: The J-Hawks hope to use a deep distance-running corps and a strong field-event group to push for the league title. They don't have the numbers the others at the top do, but the J-Hawks always find a way to challenge for the crown.
Coach: Joe Blume (2nd year)
NIC-10 finish: 6th place
Key returners: Dain Bennett (Sr. hurdles); Derek Droessler (Sr. high jump, middle distance); Peter Bortoli (Sr. throws); Matt Black (Jr. distance); Jermaine Goldsmith (Jr. sprints); Keith Schnoor (Sr. middle distance).
Top newcomers: Nico Flores (Sr. sprints); Zack Mathews (Sr. sprints, jumps).
Outlook: The Titans will try and build back up and crack into the top half of the league again with depth in the sprints and field events.
Coach: Jerry Lowe
NIC-10 finish: 5th place
Key returners: Christian Lopez (Jr. sprints); Corey Tucker (Sr. pole vault).
Top newcomers: (none provided)
Outlook: The Knights earned a win in the 800-meter relay at the indoor conference meet, and they appear to be loaded with sprinters and jumpers. However, those are the only areas where their depth shows through, and they will need other areas to step up to stay in the top half of the league again.
Coach: Alan Greene (28th year)
NIC-10 finish: 7th place
Key returners: Antonio Shorter (Sr. sprints); Misael Sanchez (Sr. pole vault); Ryan Walton (Jr. pole vault); Zeverne Dixon (Jr. jumps); Christian Wilks (Sr. distance); Leon Ishmon (So. hurdles); David Rials (Jr. hurdles).
Top newcomers: Kaprion Felton (Jr. jumps); Vance McShane (So. sprints).
Outlook: Almost half the team of 36 is freshmen and sophomores, and Coach Greene expects to use plenty of them at the varsity level. This young group of Pretzels will have to overachieve to push for the top half of the conference standings.
Coach: Darwin Whitehead (13th year)
NIC-10 finish: 9th place
Key returners: Jon Libby (Sr. distance); Peter Danel-Tauer (Sr. distance); Adrian Trujillo (Sr. sprints); Alex Hernandez (Jr. hurdles); Jake Konaszewski (Jr. throws); Victor Roman (Jr. throws); Kolby Solton (Jr. sprints).
Top newcomers: Wayne Klamer (Jr. distance); Geno Hartman (Sr. throws).
Outlook: The Bucs are young, but have a young group of distance runners that should develop into point-gatherers.
Coach: Anthony Wilson (1st year)
NIC-10 finish: 10th place
Key returners: Josh Chavez (Sr. distance); Jason Berg (Sr. sprints); Will Harris (Sr. sprints); Yiovan Martinez (Sr. sprints).
Top newcomers: Josh Tibble (Sr. sprints); Ronald Davis (So. sprints).
Outlook: The E-Rabs will struggle in the big meets, but Tibble, a transfer from Jefferson, will be in the mix at the end.
Coach: Lee Marks (47th year)
NIC-10 finish: 8th place
Key returners: Mark David Miller (Sr. middle distance); Cameron Smith (Sr. middle distance).
Top newcomers: Jaquez Banks (Sr. sprints); Noah Benson (So. middle distance); Tyler Birdsong (So. jumps, sprints); Jimmie Childress (Sr. throws); Jaylen Foster (Sr. middle distance); Eder Ocequera (So. middle distance); Michael Schafer (So. jumps); Robert Taylor (Sr. sprints).
Outlook: The Vikings have just two returners back, and must battle for every point. Depth is an issue.
Hononegah powered past the rest of the teams to claim the NIC-10 indoor title last month, and Belvidere North comes in as the defending outdoor champs, with a rejuvenated sprinting corps as well as the reigning-conference MVP in Todd Berkenpas.
But packed with a powerful trio of throwers, the league's fastest boy at the indoors in Tim Martin, and a new jumper who burst onto the scene last month in sophomore Kyle Behan, Harlem should morph into a force to be reckoned with as well.
Hononegah held off North by 16 points for the NIC-10 indoor title last month, and Jefferson came in third with 87. And while Harlem was a distant fourth with 55½ points, the Huskies held back in several events, and with a deep throwing corps, they expect to close in on the leaders throughout the outdoor campaign.
The indoor season does not include the discus event, where Harlem has three, possibly four, of the best in the league.
"Hononegah can get points from anywhere, and Belvidere North is getting you from different spots this year, too," first-year boys head coach Mike Oliveri said. "Our depth is not there right now, and it will be tough to break into that top spot. But I think we're going to make things interesting, that's for sure.
"And our throwers have been just amazing, already."
Kyle Kling and Jared Kern tore into the conference picture last year, and proved their dominance by qualifying for state — Kling in the discus and Kern in the shot put. They both fell just short of a state-finals berth, but then Kling had a season-best 52-feet-11 to win the indoor shot put title, and Kern came in second at 46-7½. Kern also had a 57-0 earlier in the indoor stretch.
Kern went on to place sixth at the indoor state meet while Kling took 10th. They will both be factors in the discus from here on out as well.
And, they won't be alone.
Cameron Baxter, who took fifth at the indoor conference meet in the shot, was just three feet short of qualifying for state in the discus last year as well. According to Oliveri, he's upped his training and is looking to break into the lineup. Add in Jared Carlton, who Oliveri insists would be a starter on any other team in the NIC-10, and the Huskies expect to wiggle out as many points in the throws as they can this year.
"Sometimes," Oliveri said, "I feel bad having all four of them on the same team. It doesn't last long, though."
Page 2 of 3 - That's because he knows how deep and powerful Hononegah is. Harlem's Tim Martin got to the finish line first in the 55 dash in the indoor league showdown, but Hononegah sprinter and long jumper Alex Martin did not compete. The Indians will have Alex Martin as the outdoor season kicks in, and they also have five state qualifiers back, and 108 athletes on the team.
"There's a lot of youth on this team; there's a lot of grooming we're going to have to do," Hononegah's first-year head coach Alex Hartz said. "But we definitely have the target on our backs, and to me, that's a nice thing. If nothing else, that should push us all season long."
While the Blue Thunder still have the best distance runner in the conference in Eryk Yunk — who won both the mile and two-mile indoor titles — they lost a lot of their distance depth to graduation. But by the end of the indoor conference meet, they were the only ones pushing the Indians.
Berkenpas was a big reason why, winning the 55-intermediate hurdles and the high jump. He was also the top seed in the 55-highs before false-starting in the finals. He did defend his title clearing 6-2 in the high jump, however.
Still, North went outside the distance-dominating box for much of its scoring, earning three of the six finals' spots in the 55 dash, and going 3-4-5, led by Ben Nordman's 6.88. Nordman also took third in the 200 (24.10), and Logan Zeien reeled off a win in the 400 (52.99) .
"We're definitely scoring points where we usually don't," North coach Troy Yunk said. "Hononegah is so deep, everybody will be chasing them. But a second at indoors was a good sign for us. We're in the hunt. And being defending champs, we want to at least be a part of that conversation."
Anthony Mazzola cleared 14-10 to dominate the league's indoor pole vaulting competition, and he went on to take third at the indoor state meet as well. He'll anchor a Jefferson squad that has now stepped up the intensity in the distance races, as shown when it went 1-4 in the 800 run, 2-5 in the mile and 2-3 in the 3,200 at the indoor league championships.
And as most agree, by the time the outdoor conference meet swings around, things could open up in the overall picture.
"There very well could be five teams within 15-20 points of each other at the top," Oliveri said. "With everybody battling each other and going after it, it's going to be interesting near the end of it all."

Passer-by helps fight wall fire
An outside wall of a Wailuku Heights residence burned Saturday morning, and a passer-by reported and helped control the fire with a garden hose as well as evacuate an elderly woman, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
Wailuku and Kahului firefighters responded to the 10:57 a.m. alarm at 401 Palani Place, Mainaga said. The fire damaged a 10-by-20-foot exterior wall on the backside of the house. The blaze was extinguished by the Wailuku engine company at 11:07 a.m.
Damage was estimated at $5,000, and no injuries were reported.
The fire's cause was undetermined, but according to witnesses it was most likely caused by improperly discarded smoking materials, Mainaga said.
St. Damien statue to be blessed
A koa 7-foot-tall statue of St. Damien will be blessed today with festivities beginning at 5:15 p.m. at Kihei sculptor Dale Zarrella's studio at the north end of Charley Young Beach in Kihei.
Those expected to be present during the blessing include Kahu Les Kuloloio and the Rev. Monsignor Terrence Watanabe of St. Theresa Catholic Church.
Zarrella's statue will be taken later to Oahu and featured at the Damien and Marianne of Molokai Heritage Center in Waikiki.
Crew called to chloroform spill
A bottle containing a gallon of chloroform combusted in a lab at the Wailuku Police Station on Friday afternoon, triggering a response by a Maui Fire Department hazardous materials unit, said police spokesman Lt. Wayne Ibarra.
A female employee was exposed to the chloroform, he said. She was treated and released without needing to be hospitalized.
The incident was reported at 3:37 p.m. Friday. The spill was contained to an enclosed lab, with no other areas in the building affected, Ibarra said.
Firefighters cleaned and cleared the area of the hazardous material, he added.
MHS team wins Science Bowl title

The team earned the right to represent Hawaii in April at the national championships in Chevy Chase, Md., said coach Ed Ginoza.
Saber team members are senior Steven Okada, sophomore Christopher Kim and juniors Bryson Galapon, Riley Camp and Gabe Salazar.

Whether you dress your potato salad with mayo or belong more in the vinegar camp, the beauty of this July Fourth picnic staple is that it so wonderfully accommodates just about anything you care to add. And if the flavors are big and bold, all the better.
So this year we decided to take a basic vinegar potato salad to the next level. We added all the trimmings you�d typically expect on an Italian grinder.
And the funny thing is, some people like their grinders with vinegar, some prefer mayonnaise. And you can have it your way with this salad, too. If you�d prefer a creamy version, substitute � cup mayonnaise for the � cup of vinegar and 6 tablespoons of oil used for the dressing in this recipe. You�ll still need 2 tablespoons of oil for the onions.

Bill Nye, The Restraining Order Guy
Giant rats and masturbation aside, Nyes ordeal is pretty spectacular. He surprised his girlfriend with a spontaneous wedding, then when he found out the marriage license wasnt valid, decided to call the whole thing off. You know, because the mild hassle of getting some paperwork refiled sort of kills the whole true love thing.
According to Nye, THIS happened next:
Nye says his distraught ex-wife-that-never-was poured a toxic liquid into the garden behind the house they both owned, a substance Tindall later said was weed killer. Nye took out a restraining order against her. He says she was "dressed in black and wearing a black hat" and "she fled on foot when I called her name."
There was an allegation that Tindall intended to throw poison onto Nye's face or sprinkle it in his eyes.
Once youre done cackling at the mental image of Bill Nye getting poison sprinkled in his eyes, try and appreciate how awesome some of the finer points of this set-up are: Nyes ex dressed up as the black spy from Spy vs. Spy, Nye weeping over his beloved roses, and Tindall the concert oboist loping off through the suburb, bottle of empty poison in her sinister black-gloved hand.
I also cant get over how Nye treats the whole thing like an experiment on his show. Upon investigating the herbicide, he reportedly concluded that is was quite toxic, and could have theoretically soaked into his vegetable garden and then gotten into his food. I assume he deduced this by setting up a control garden and treating a series of test gardens with various levels of the poison. Yay science!
Now all it needs is some wailing electric guitar and wacky sound effects to keep the kids entertained and its ready for the KPBS afternoon block:

Writes like a dream
By ZoneWombat
from Fairfax, VA
I love this pen. It feels good in the hand - nice weight, nice diameter, nice balance. The nib is perfect for writing and light sketching. The flow is a little heavy for my draughtsman's hand, but that's largely me. I actually like the screw-piston fill system. The price puts it in the "luxury" category, but it does command respect in the boardroom.
By MassimoV
from Porlezza IT
I own this pen, and it is more beautiful in the hand than in the photo. My fine nib is a little bit flexible, which I like. The pen is a smallish/medium size. The glossy black together with the silver and gold is a very classy appearance. If it were a true piston fill, it would be perfect.

LOCKPORT – Two City of Lockport men pleaded guilty to drug felonies in separate cases Tuesday before Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III. Both face a maximum of 2½ years in prison when they are sentenced Jan. 15.
Jeffery R. Thomas, 48, of Webb Street, admitted to second-degree criminal possession of marijuana. Assistant District Attorney Peter M. Wydysh said the county Drug Task Force raided Thomas' former home on Youngstown-Lockport Road in Porter Aug. 15 and found he had been growing marijuana outdoors. They seized 12.57 pounds of the drug.
Kurtis R. Washington, 22, of Cottage Street, pleaded guilty to fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. He sold crack cocaine to a police informant Dec. 5 on Elmwood Avenue in Lockport.
Washington already is serving a state prison sentence for another drug conviction, but he is due for release Jan. 24, Murphy said.

The Canisius College women's basketball team limited Loyola to six points over the final 9:30 and went 9 for 10 from the line in the final 1:30 to win, 48-39, on Saturday in the Koessler Center.
The Griffins completed the season sweep of Loyola, snapping a four-game losing streak to improve to 9-14 overall and 6-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Junior Jamie Ruttle recorded the third double-double of her career, posting 10 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Ashley Durham had 11 points and matched her career high with eight rebounds. Junior Jen Lennox had seven points and four blocks in 13 minutes off the bench.
• Niagara eased to a 67-55 win over visiting Saint Peter's to complete the season sweep for the second consecutive season.
The duo of Lauren Gatto and Meghan McGuinness led Niagara (12-11, 7-5) in scoring for the second straight game.
Gatto finished with a team-high 16 points to score in double figures for the 19th time. McGuinness added 11 points on 4-for-9 shooting, including three three-pointers.
Ten Purple Eagles scored, but it was Kayla Stroman who had a huge impact as she tied a career-best with eight assists. She moves ahead of Stacie Kane ('92) for sixth all-time in assists and is three short of fifth.
• The University at Buffalo returns to the road for the first of two straight games in the state of Michigan this afternoon when they face Central Michigan. The Chippewas have dropped two straight and have moved into third place in the MAC West while Buffalo is currently fourth in the MAC East, but are just one game out of a log-jammed first place in the East Division.
Sophomore Kasheema Besley had one of her best games of the season against Bowling Green off the bench as she tied her career-high with six assists.
• St. Bonaventure returns to the court today at 1 p.m. when it hosts VCU. The game will serve as the Bonnies' Play 4-Kay Pink Day game.
The Bonnies are coming off a 61-33 loss to Duquesne, its fourth straight loss.
Katie Healy (Lancaster) led Bona with 13 points. The 33 points were a season-low. They were shut out from three (0-9) for the third time this season.

The sound of hoarse thunder disrupted the "glorious autumn morn," sending hundreds of Charleston residents running from their shops and homes toward The Battery.
It was a sound not unlike the report of guns that announced the bombardment of Fort Sumter nearly seven months earlier, and many locals worried that the city was under attack.
But on the waterfront they saw nothing but calm forts, and the crowds soon dispersed. A few of the more anxious and curious retreated to the Broad Street office of The Mercury to await the news coming in from telegraph that Thursday morning, Nov. 7, 1861.
The gunfire was "no hoax, but grim reality," the paper reported the next day. Although "plainly audible" in downtown Charleston, it had actually carried up the coast nearly 50 miles.
Port Royal was under attack by the United States Navy.
After months without significant incident, the war was suddenly once again in Charleston's backyard. For most residents, it was a rude reminder of the realities of a war that, for some, had become an abstraction.
The Mercury kept Charlestonians informed of the daily happenings in the war between the states, but all of it was occurring elsewhere.
Every day, the paper printed dispatches from "the war in Missouri" or "the war in Kentucky," where Confederate troops were trying to keep Union forces out of Tennessee.
Charleston's only direct role for much of the fall was holding 100 prisoners of war from Manassas, Yankee soldiers who had been shipped in by train and jailed at Castle Pinckney.
There had been few other events that made the local papers -- several Dahlgren guns were shipped in for the city's defense, and the German artillery was feted in a grand ceremony before leaving for the front in Virginia. But locally, other concerns dominated the early fall of 1861.
Local authorities had detained several slaves for illegally selling produce on the docks; four servants of a local woman had been arrested for attempting to poison their mistress; and a young slave boy, 12, had shocked the community when he apparently committed suicide, by lying on railroad tracks until a train came through.
And then there was the case of the mysterious man who called himself Rothschild, a name that conjured suggestions of high finance and banking empires. The man had checked into the Charleston Hotel in mid-September and immediately caught the eye of locals, many of whom thought he acted suspiciously.
When this Rothschild suddenly changed his travel plans and left the city in a hurry, he was tracked to Savannah. There, he had immediately caught another train back to Charleston, where he was eventually detained for questioning.
The Mercury reported that Rothschild was carrying a valise "filled with gold, and his trunk, which is at the Lower Guard House, is rather too heavy for clothing."
It turned out the man was a merchant from Charlotte. He had shipped many of his goods to Charleston and converted the stock to gold -- about $8,000 worth. He was ultimately released, but still eyed warily.
Despite all that melodrama, the fall of 1861 was mostly quiet until the Union began bombing the South Carolina coast.
The vulnerable spot
The attack on Port Royal should not have been a surprise.
Throughout the summer and into the fall, the city had watched as hostile ships sailed over the horizon and half-heartedly tried to blockade Charleston Harbor. Some of them would linger for days, prevent a few ships from leaving port, then sail away.
Many of those ships carried native Southerners who had been forced to choose between their home and their profession.
In Charleston, the Middleton family suddenly had to confront the notion that they might have to take up arms against their own blood. Edward Middleton, younger brother of Ordinance of Secession signers Williams and John Middleton, was a captain in the U.S. Navy.
As Tracey Todd, a historian at Middleton Place, would later note, Edward Middleton in 1861 wrote that, "I hold that in times of revolution an officer bound by his oath is not at liberty to throw off his allegiance and serve against his late government, even if he should be so disposed."
The Middleton brothers would expend much effort trying to convince Edward that his place was with his family, not at sea. But Edward, like many naval officers, was not inclined to leave his post.
"These views of mine may be regarded in some quarters now as unsound," he wrote to his sister, Eliza, "but the time may come when they will be admitted to be consistent with (the) principles (of) ... all honorable men."
It only made matters worse for the Middleton family that it was Edward's own Navy that was bearing down on Charleston. At the time, Gen. Winfield Scott's "Anaconda Plan" was still under development, but the ships were coming. The Union had discovered that, on the water, it held a decided advantage.
In late August, seven Union Navy ships attacked two Confederate forts on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Yankee ships bombarded Fort Hatteras and Fort Clark for two days before the Southern troops, outgunned and out-powered, surrendered.
The Mercury spent the early part of September fretting over "the fall of Fort Hatteras," and for good reason -- it was the first real Union victory of the war. Taking those Outer Banks forts gave the Union a little confidence after its failure at Bull Run, and some political cover to continue fighting.
And it led the Union to develop a new plan of attack.
After the battle at Hatteras Inlet, South Carolina should have realized that it would be next. Union forces were eager to strike a blow in the state where the war began, and there were three tempting targets on the water -- the port of Georgetown, Charleston Harbor and Port Royal Sound.
Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard recognized that Port Royal was the coast's most vulnerable spot. But when he told South Carolina officials that the mouth of the sound was too wide to defend simply with forts on either side of its entrance, he was ignored.
The Confederates began to build defenses on Hilton Head Island, on the southern side of the sound, and on St. Phillips Island to the north. St. Phillips sat just behind Fripp Island, three miles or so north of Hilton head. As of November 1861, neither fort was entirely finished.
Despite Beauregard's warning, South Carolinians were not overly alarmed when, on Nov. 2, a correspondent for The Mercury reported that "a Great Yankee Armada" was allegedly sailing down the coast.
It was thought, the newspaper assured Charleston, that these Union ships were headed for "Savannah or Brunswick, Georgia."
Shoot while moving
While Charleston was experiencing "dreary" weather in the first days of November, a fleet of more than a dozen warships and several other assorted vessels trudged through similar conditions as they made their way down the East Coast.
Flag Officer Samuel Francis du Pont, the 58-year-old leader of the convoy, meant to repeat the victorious strategy used at Hatteras Inlet on the South Carolina sound, but weather delays slowed what some observers called the largest fleet ever assembled.
The storms forced some ships to leave the convoy, and a few even sank. Conditions were so bad that du Pont's options for attack were cut down.
He had been extremely cautious about revealing his target. He gave most captains their orders -- and even their destination -- in sealed envelopes that they could open only after they were at sea.
Still, northern newspapers got word of du Pont's target and reported on the attack before it actually occurred. Those stories, which listed South Carolina as the fleet's destination, ran in the Charleston papers on Nov. 3. But it would be three days later before The Mercury reported the attack on Hilton Head.
By the time that story made the paper, it was all over.
"The enemy's fleet engaged our batteries for forty-five minutes at ebb tide to-day, and they have gone out of range," the paper announced. "One steamer was hit with a ball, and towed off. Another large steamer is aground since yesterday. Thirty-three vessels are now in sight."
The Confederates thought du Pont intended to land his troops on Hilton Head and storm the defenses on foot. But that, Capt. F. Peck of the steamer Cecile told The Mercury, was entirely dependent on calm seas.
And du Pont did not have that luxury.
On the morning of Nov. 7, du Pont began his run at the mouth of Port Royal Sound. He sent 10 boats with orders to shoot while moving, which made it harder for the forts to return fire. It was the same strategy used at Hatteras.
The fire fight continued for hours. Many of the shells from Fort Walker (on Hilton Head) and Fort Beauregard (on St. Phillips) missed the moving targets, enough that du Pont's men were able to advance.
The next day, Charleston learned details of the engagement from refugees who had fled Hilton Head during the shooting.
"The steamer Savannah arrived here at 6 p.m., having been struck three times, but sustaining no serious injury," the paper reported. "She reports that 15 vessels had passed the batteries at Port Royal up to 12 o'clock. Walker's battery is doing good work. Several of the Yankee fleet have been crippled."
That good work would not be enough to repel the Yankee horde for long. By early afternoon on the 7th, the Confederates were running out of ammunition in their unfinished forts.
Dire warnings
The Confederates at Fort Walker had little chance.
The new fort had been designed to hold seven 10-inch columbiad cannons on its sea face, but soldiers there discovered they had only one big gun. The rest were light guns that were of little use against a fleet of warships.
Someone had delivered the ammunition of the wrong size for the guns, and the one big columbiad the Southern troops had was damaged after firing less than a half-dozen shots.
After a morning of heavy shelling, Brig. Gen. Thomas F. Drayton realized his gunners were so fatigued that he left the fort and returned with men from another battery to replace them. But by early afternoon, they were low on ammunition, and only three of the guns on the seaward wall were still firing. It was time to retreat.
Just after 2 p.m., Union sailors spied several Confederates leaving Fort Walker. Believing the men were retreating, a Yankee boat went ashore to negotiate terms of surrender.
The sailors found the fort abandoned.
When Union troops raised the American flag over the Hilton Head fort, the Confederates on St. Phillips abandoned their position before land-based Yankee troops could trap them on the island. Soon, the Union took that fort too.
In little more than half a day, the Union military had claimed a strategic piece of South Carolina.
On Friday, Nov. 8, The Mercury, unaware of this outcome, opined that the battle was destined to occur. "South Carolina began the war; and it is, perhaps, fitting, in the nature of things, that she should end it. The rage and hate of her enemies have precipitated them on her coast. They come to punish her, for daring to assert her liberties and independence."
But that front-page editorial also carried a dire warning for the city.
"If they can take Charleston, with twenty-five thousand men, let them have it," the paper said. "We are unworthy to possess it; and it will be a fitting memorial -- laid in ashes -- of our imbecility and degeneracy. But if, on the contrary, we shall give to every one of our invaders, who shall remain on our soil, a prison above it or a grave beneath it -- will it not end the contest?"
Those were hopeful words from a defiant city, a city that carried the ironic attitude that "It is better for South Carolina to be the cemetery of freemen, than the home of slaves."
By the time those words were distributed through the streets of Charleston, Union forces were well on their way to taking St. Helena Island, Beaufort and much of the land to the north. Soon, the Yankees truly would be in Charleston's back yard, bringing the war back to the city where it had all started.
The days of reading about the war from afar were over.

Dear Liz,
My 19-year-old son has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and is currently getting treated. It has been a rough two years. The Medical University of South Carolina and his doctors say his prognosis is good as long as he stays on the proper medications and avoids alcohol. He is committed to doing this, but we understand it can be a great personal challenge. This is a huge relief.
He's a very smart kid, and is feeling better already. But the stigma of mental illness has hurt him, and kept him out of treatment earlier. He was arrested once during a manic episode and kept in shackles and chains. The good thing is, the arrest was the wake-up call that got him into treatment.
Sadly, the news got out in our upscale neighborhood, and some people have been unkind. He will be living with us for the rest of this year, and then going off to college next fall. Is there anything we can do to educate the public about this?
Relieved but concerned
Dear "Relieved,"
I am so grateful that your son is getting the treatment and support he needs. I pray your letter will be helping others understand. Bipolar disorder is commonly diagnosed in the late teens, early 20s. Untreated, the outlook is not good. Treated, individuals can have extremely productive lives — and high intelligence often is apparent in those with the illness.
There is a great deal of misunderstanding, and fear, of mental illness, along with a long-standing stigma that President Obama spoke of during a White House Conference on Mental Health. We all need to be educated and aware. (And kind.) Making sure people with mental illness get proper treatment and support can truly prevent the tragedies such as the school shooting in Connecticut and others.
There is a big difference between shunning someone, ignoring them and reaching out to see if help is needed. "If you see something, say something."
Your son may have been arrested because he was acting strangely. Don't be afraid to call authorities to check something out. It is our business (to do things wisely.)
There is a lot of helpful information about mental illness including the local organization on the National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI website: http://www.nami.org
Please send my best wishes to your son — he can have an exceptionally bright future. Thank you for sharing his and your story. The road can be equally tough for the families involved.
Dear Liz,
We are taking your advice and getting ready as a family for hurricane season. We even took a tour at a local TV station and got to watch the weather broadcast be prepared.
We are planning a field trip this summer to the Weather Service as well. Our kids are selling potholders and other items and donating the proceeds to the Red Cross for recovery efforts in Oklahoma and other states suffering with the huge outbreak of twisters.
It has brought us closer as a family, and we are enjoying preparing together. I think we're raising some future meteorologists. Just thought you'd want to know.
Happily Preparing
Dear "Happily,"
You know my saying, "Don't be scared, be prepared." It is awesome that you have taken this on as a family project. As we enter Hurricane Season (and bad thunderstorm season) I hope you can enjoy the peace that comes with preparing for the worst, while praying for the best.
Contact Liz via firstname.lastname@example.com. Liz Brisacher Sharp is a Master degree level Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice with 35 years experience in mental health.

Information regarding each faculty member's research interests by category is available here.
It's Sticky Work, But Someone Has To Do It!
South Carolina has a reputation for high quality, delicious, juicy peaches. As the #2 peach producing state in the U.S., it is vital that we remain competitive in the market. Our peach germplasm program evaluates the performance of more than 300 peach and nectarine types from around the world. Field days introduce producers to the newest and best cultivars to help them remain competitive. Long-term research results can be viewed at the peach website.
Cleaning Water with Plants
Clean water is a hot commodity these days. Alternative water sources need to be developed for agricultural purposes including reclaimed and recycled water. Our floating wetland research program evaluates the capacity of various ornamental and native aquatic plant species to clean contaminants from stormwater and agricultural runoff. For more information regarding wetlands and their use for cleaning water, visit the website.
Keeping a Golf Course Green
In early spring, large leopard print-like patches began appearing on more than half of Burning Ridge Golf Club's greens. While attending a turfgrass field day, Prince and Victor showed pictures to CU turfgrass expert Dara Park. Dr. Park understood and recommended surface activating agents (surfactants) to treat the water-repellent soil and ensure growing roots had water to support the turf. For more information on Dr. Park's research, visit the website.
RosBREED Bridging Genetics & Application
The U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding community collaboratively work to translate genomics research into efficient breeding of Rosaceae fruit crops. Clemson University's peach breeding program is one of twelve programs participating in this multiregional project gathering top researchers and industry stakeholders. RosBREED focuses on bridging the gap between genetics research and practical application in breeding programs.
Building Better Peaches from the Root Up!
Clemson University's peach breeding program focuses on developing high quality, disease resistant peach varieties adapted to Southeastern USA environmental conditions. Current projects involve developing new rootstocks resistant to nematodes, managing crop load via mechanical flower thinning, identifying molecular markers for genes that increase resistance to short life and bacterial diseases, and controlling chill requirement.
Environmentally Friendly Disease Prevention
Increased pressure to manage turfgrass in an ecologically friendly manner has reinvigorated the search for alternatives to synthetic fungicides. Synthetic and biological fungicides, including bacterial and fungal species, are being evaluated for their ability to suppress dollar spot. Preliminary research results show more than an 80% reduction in disease. Additional studies are ongoing evaluating fungicide rates and fertility interactions.
Natural Healing Power?
Students participated in the Effects of Nature Images on Pain pilot study conducted in a mock hospital room at Clemson University. From a hospital bed, each participant viewed one of four nature images or no image at all. A pain stressor was introduced after a 10 minute resting period. Physiological data were collected before, during, and after the pain stressor while psychological data was collected before and after the pain stressor.
