Love this item. It's been all over the world and still looks great after many a year of service.Two tweaks that I wish would be considered. First, the sleave for the pen stretches over time (it is made of leather, after all) which allows the pen to fall out quite often. It only there was a clasp or other method to keep the pen where it belongs --Second tweak -- the credit card side of the wallet has a flap that is open top and side. Unfortunately, sometimes you may slide a card in there, only to have them fall out when you open the wallet. I cured this by going to my local shoe maker and he stitched a leather strap across the top of the flap and onto the wallet body so that the cards couldn't slide out the side, but keeping the "mouth" large enough to allow credit cards to slide in.I'd buy another in a heartbeat if these things were addressed!

The international pocket briefcase is not worth the money . The pen included do not have no clips and heavy. It fell out of my wallet the third day and i lost it. You dont need a heavy pen with no clips in your wallets. The briefcase also lacks enough slots for credit cards and licenses. Three slots is very liitle in todays plastic card world where you several shop cards, gym and other licenses to be kept in your wallet. The size also is little too big that it will not fit in your shirt pocket or big for your pant pocket. Its only meant for jacket pockets i guess.....

Very Functional
By dave23432

If you are in sales, this is ideal. With a pen and 3X5 notecards, you can jot things down anytime, plus the internal pen is so useful during the day.Holds enough credit cards but its real advantage is storing receipts in the deep pocket.Only improvements would be to round the corners. The corners of this wallet are pointed. My fear is that this will be a wear point. Better if it had rounded corners. Aside from that it is well designed.

Only one complaint
By BRSinBerkeley
from Berkeley, CA
I bought this product after two years of coveting the one my parents bought as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I decided to splurge and get the pen.The pen slides out of the slot! The pen that is sold with this should be a design with a clip.
Just what He Wanted!
By LisaKearns
from Monroe NC
My husband carries index cards to take notes during meetings, and asked me to see if anyone made a wallet that would hold them. I searched Amazon and several other sites, and stumbled across Levenger's stie. I ordered this pocket briefcase, and he loves it. The classic black leather looks professional and fits in his suit pocket, and the classy looking vertical lined cards complete the business look. He's not thrilled with the pen, but has a pen of his own that fits in the wallet. Now he doesn't have to carry loose cards in his shirt pocket, or dig them out of his briefcase when he needs them. He just pulls out his attractive Levenger's wallet and he's ready to take notes.
Great way to keep thoughts from escaping
By topherlykins
from Chattanooga, TN
I owned the pocket briefcase, but found I would occasionally leave it at home. This was the answer--one doesn't leave home without a wallet.This is a great item and I highly recommend it to all of my friends. I have always carried a very slim wallet. The point being to only carry the necessities. This will hold the necessities, but it will help make certain little thoughts do not escape you.I find the ID window with the thumb cutout to help get the ID out is not especially effective as I have to fight with it and most servers end by saying there's no need to pull it out. In addition I have to use the raised numbers on my cards to get them out of the slots-I'm guessing it's a bit tight to help keep it thin. This is just a quirk, not necessarily a flaw.Get this. Remember more. Become more productive.
Different leather
By Duke
from CA
I bought one of these years ago and loved it. It was made of soft glove-like leather. After the dog destroyed it I ordered a new one. Very disappointed in the quality of the leather - whereas the old one was soft and you could get a good grip on it, this leather is dull-looking yet slippery, and feels cheap. Wish I could find an old one to buy.
Merchant response: Thank you for your review of our International Pocket Briefcase with Pocketini Pen. We understand your concerns with the quality of the leather.

My Second International Pocket !
By Wyvernoodle
from Hillsborough , NC
I carry my black one with me everyday because I like to be able to take notes - I am never without a pen with this! I just purchased a second one in saddle to use as my travel wallet. It fits my passport, a couple credit cards, business cards, as well as euros and dollars. Wonderful. Everything nice and near and organized, and still the ability to take quick notes on the fly. Love it!
Very good quality, lacking some card slots.
By NickA
from Los Angeles, CA
The construction and materials used are of very good quality. The money slots are great and very useful. There are two pockets provided: one deeper for international notes, and one shallower that fits US dollars perfectly.My only complaint is that there is only two card slots to put credit cards in. I wish there were a few more and a separate place for business card storage.Pros:Solid constructionGood qualityNote taking abilitiesProfessional lookCons:Only two card slotsNo separate place for business cardsPen slips from hand

Count Every Penny in Coal Leasing Debate
Editor's note: William F. Shughart II, Huntsman School's J Fish Smith Professor in Public Choice, was published on July 21, 2013, in "The Hill's Congress Blog," a well-read publication that covers Congressional news on Capitol Hill .
By William F. Shughart II
Last week, the Department of the Interior's Inspector General (IG)
released a report outlining perceived shortcomings in the Bureau of Land
Management's (BLM's) supervision of coal leasing. Rep. Ed Markey
(D-Mass.) promptly called a hearing on the issue, which has since been
Upon the release of this report, the news media and advocates on both sides of the issue have focused on one of the report's flashier assertions: that over the past dozen years BLM's alleged undervaluation of coal deposits leased in noncompetitive modifications of existing mining rights on public lands resulted lost federal revenue of $60 million. (That's "million," with an "m.") Much of the coal in question is located in the Powder River Basin, a coal-rich region that straddles southeast Montana and northeast Wyoming. The basin contains one of the largest known coal deposits in the world and accounts for about 40 percent of the nation's coal supplies.

Short for pedophile van. A vehicle that looks as if it is used for the illegal transportation of little children. The vehicle is generally (but not limited to), a white ford E-250 with no back windows. Other variations in designs include any large beat up cargo vans with fences in the back, or with "business logos", that try to make viewers not to scrutinize the integrity of this vehicle.
There's no reason for that vehicle to not have windows, it must be a ped van!

Abraham, the NFL's active sacks leader, made it through just 15 snaps in last week's divisional playoff victory over Seattle before aggravating a left ankle injury that forced him to leave in the second quarter.
''You don't want to lose a good player,'' Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan said. ''We won the game, so there's something we did right. But it does change things.''
The Falcons are making contingency plans in case Abraham is unable to play at full strength against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
Abraham, who has not been available to speak with reporters this week, missed practice on Wednesday even though coach Mike Smith listed him as having limited participation.
But it's clear that the Falcons (14-3) will be pleased to have Abraham on the field for any length of time against San Francisco (12-4-1).
''He's a sack master,'' linebacker Sean Weatherspoon said. ''That's what I like to call him – Father Abe. We look forward to getting him back out there this week. I think the guys that had a chance to play in his absence did a good job stepping in and doing what they need to do in order to help the team get the win.''
Abraham, 34, was initially hurt in the regular season finale loss to Tampa Bay, limping off the field with the help of trainers.
Coach Mike Smith said that he expects the 13th-year veteran to start on Sunday. Even so, the Falcons are giving reserve ends Cliff Matthews, Jonathan Massaquoi and Lawrence Sidbury more work this week in case Abraham has to make an early exit.
Matthews took the balance of the work against Seattle, playing 46 snaps and making two tackles opposite Kroy Biermann, Atlanta's other starting end.
Abraham, though, is a special talent.
''Obviously he's an integral part of this defense,'' Biermann said. ''When you lose a player like that, it kind of puts a little bit of strain on you, but the guys behind him know that they've got to step up, play that role and get it done.''
The 49ers present several problems for Atlanta's defense.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick is coming off an impressive playoff win over Green Bay, passing for 263 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 181 yards and two TDs. He set an NFL single-game record for yards rushing by a quarterback.
Smith knows the Falcons must do their best to contain Kaepernick in the pocket while keeping tight coverage on receivers Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss and tight ends Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker.
Running backs Frank Gore and LaMichael James also create issues in the passing attack, too.
''They have playmakers at both levels with their offense,'' Smith said. ''You're going to have to put together a plan to try to slow down certain aspects of it. It's a very explosive offense they've created.''
Though Abraham's 122 career sacks rank 13th on the NFL career list, he hasn't had one since Nov. 29 when he took down New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees to help seal a 23-13 victory.
The following week, Atlanta won its second NFC South title in three years.
Before the Falcons traded for him in 2006, Abraham had a long injury history in six years with the New York Jets. He's overcome assorted ailments and offseason surgeries with Atlanta, however, and has missed just two games over the last six seasons.
''When you watch the film, he played through the pain a little bit,'' strong safety William Moore said. ''It was hard to even tell. He rotates a lot, so I didn't even know he was out at one point.''
Moore learned of Abraham's absence soon enough while Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seahawks were carving up Atlanta's defense in the second half. After Vance Walker sacked him early in the third quarter, Wilson completed 13 of 18 passes for 230 with two TDs.
The Falcons did a decent job covering deep routes, but they struggled badly in trying to defend tight end Zach Miller and other targets Wilson hit in the middle of the defense.
''Those were still miscues on our end,'' free safety Thomas Decoud said. ''We were short on a drop here or there or someone didn't carry someone here or there. Those things were more about us rather than things that they did.''
NOTES: S William Moore has a cast on his right hand but participated fully in practice. ... CB Christopher Owens (hamstring) remains out. He hasn't played since a Dec. 22 victory at Detroit. ... DT Jonathan Babineaux (shoulder) also had limited participation in practice.
Sack-master Abraham's status still uncertain

SEC511: Continuous Monitoring and Security Operations
- Contents | Schedule | Additional Info
- Instructors: Christopher Crowley, Eric Conrad
I run SOCs and this course will and does provide a gut check against what we are doing today.
Tim Housman, General Dynamics Information Technology
Seth is an energetic engaging teacher with the experience and knowledge to tackle subjects facing SOCs today and make this information relevant-useful.
Mick Leach, Nationwide
SEC511: Continuous Monitoring and Security Operations. We continue to underestimate the tenacity of our adversaries! Organizations are investing a significant amount of time and financial and human resources trying to combat cyber threats and prevent cyber attacks, but despite this tremendous effort organizations are still getting compromised. The traditional perimeter-focused, prevention-dominant approach to security architecture has failed to prevent intrusions. No network is impenetrable, a reality that business executives and security professionals alike have to accept. Prevention is crucial, and we can't lose sight of it as the primary goal. However, a new proactive approach to security is needed to enhance the capabilities of organizations to detect threats that will inevitably slip through their defenses.
The underlying challenge for organizations victimized by an attack is timely incident detection. Industry data suggest that most security breaches typically go undiscovered for an average of seven months. Attackers simply have to find one way into most organizations, because they know that the lack of visibility and internal security controls will then allow them to methodically carry out their mission and achieve their goals.
The Defensible Security Architecture, Network Security Monitoring (NSM)/Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM)/ Continuous Security Monitoring (CSM), taught in this course will best position your organization or Security Operations Center (SOC) to analyze threats and detect anomalies that could indicate cybercriminal behavior. The payoff for this new proactive approach would be early detection of an intrusion, or successfully thwarting the efforts of attackers altogether. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed guidelines described in NIST SP 800-137 for Continuous Monitoring (CM), and Day five (5) will greatly increase your understanding and enhance your skills in implementing Continuous Monitoring utilizing NIST framework.
SANS is uniquely qualified to offer this course. Course authors Eric Conrad (GSE #13) and Seth Misenar (GSE #28) hold the distinguished GIAC Security Expert Certification (GSE). Both are experienced, real-world, practitioners who apply the concepts and techniques they teach in this course on a daily basis. SEC511 will take you on quite a journey. We start by exploring traditional security architecture to assess its current state and the attacks against it. Next, we discuss and discover modern security design that represents a new proactive approach to such architecture that can be easily understood and defended. We then transition to how to actually build the network and endpoint security, and then carefully navigate our way through automation, NSM/CDM/CSM. For timely detection of potential intrusions, the network and systems must be proactively and continuously monitored for any changes in the security posture that might increase the likelihood that attackers will succeed.
Your SEC511 journey will conclude with one last hill to climb! The final day (Day 6) features a capture-the-flag competition that challenges you to apply the skills and techniques learned in the course to detect and defend the modern security architecture that has been designed. Course authors Eric Conrad and Seth Misenar have designed the capture-the-flag competition to be fun, engaging, comprehensive, and challenging. You will not be disappointed!
With your training journey now complete and your skills enhanced and honed, it is time to go back to work and deliver on the SANS promise that you will be able to apply what you learn in this course the day you return to the office.
You Will Be Able To:
- Analyze a security architecture for deficiencies
- Apply the principles learned in the course to design a defensible security architecture
- Understand the importance of a detection-dominant security architecture and security operations centers (SOC)
- Identify the key components of Network Security Monitoring (NSM)/Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM)/ Continuous Monitoring (CM)
- Determine appropriate security monitoring needs for organizations of all sizes
- Implement a robust Network Security Monitoring/Continuous Security Monitoring (NSM/CSM)
- Determine requisite monitoring capabilities for a SOC environment
- Determine capabilities required to support continuous monitoring of key Critical Security Controls
- Utilize tools to support implementation of Continuous Monitoring (CM) per NIST guidelines SP 800-137
While the above list briefly outlines the knowledge and skills you will learn, it barely scratches the surface of what this course has to offer. Hands-on labs throughout the course will reinforce key concepts and principles, as well as teach you how to use key scripting tools (e.g., Python and Powershell) to automate continuous monitoring. We look forward to seeing you soon!
This is a technical course and a laptop is required to perform the hands-on exercises. Also, building and establishing a SOC are outside the scope of this course.

|SEC511.1: Current State Assessment, SOCs, and Security Architecture
|Eric Conrad
Mon Apr 13th, 2015
The prevention-dominant security model has failed. Given the frequency and extent of significant intrusions, this should not come as a surprise. In order to address the root of the problem, we must understand the current architecture and the design gaps that facilitate the adversary's dominance. What do we need to address to begin to make things better? Can we ever hope to win? What would winning look like? These are important questions that we must answer if we hope to substantially improve our security posture.
We begin with the end in mind, and define the key techniques and principles that will allow us to achieve that state. An effective modern SOC or Security Architecture must enable an organization's ability to rapidly find intrusions to facilitate containment and response. Both significant knowledge and a commitment to continuous monitoring are required to achieve this goal.

Day 1: Current State Assessment, SOCs, and Security Architecture
|SEC511.2: Network Security Architecture
|Christopher Crowley
Tue Apr 14th, 2015
Understanding the problems with the current environment and realizing where we need to get is far from sufficient: we need a detailed roadmap to bridge the gap between the current and desired state. Day 2 introduces and details the components of our infrastructure that become part of a defensible network security architecture and SOC. We are long past the days where a perimeter firewall and ubiquitous antivirus was sufficient security. There are many pieces and moving parts that comprise a modern defensible security architecture.
In addition to discussing technologies like Next Generation Firewalls, UTM devices, Malware Detonation Devices, SIMs, DLP, and Honeypots that may not be found in all organizations, we will focus on repurposing traditional devices such as layer 3/4 firewalls, routers, switches, and NIDS. The goal of this course is not to give you a long list of items to add to the next year's budget, so we will focus on maximizing the capabilities of your current information security architecture, while pointing out new technologies that may offer a compelling return on investment (ROI).

Day 2: SOCs and Defensible Network Security Architecture
|SEC511.3: Endpoint Security Architecture
|Eric Conrad
Wed Apr 15th, 2015
One of the hallmarks of modern attacks is an emphasis on client-side exploitation. The days of breaking into networks via direct frontal assaults on unpatched mail, web, or DNS servers are largely behind us. We must focus on mitigating the risk of compromise of clients. Day 3 details ways in which endpoint systems can be both more resilient to attack and also enhance detective capabilities.
These endpoints are increasingly portable devices that frequently stray beyond the traditional perimeter. This day ends with discussion about current modern security architecture and SOC design challenges and offers ways to accommodate rapidly changing business environments. Security architecture and virtualization, cloud services, mobile devices/applications, and web applications will be considered as the course moves from the design elements to the monitoring aspects.

Day 3: SOCs and Defensible Endpoint Security Architecture
|SEC511.4: Network Security Monitoring
|Eric Conrad
Thu Apr 16th, 2015
Designing a SOC or security architecture that enhances visibility and detective capabilities represents a paradigm shift for most organizations. However, the design is simply the beginning. The most important element of a modern security architecture is the emphasis on detection. The architecture presented in days 1-3 emphasized baking visibility and detective capabilities into the design. Now we must figure out how to look at the data and continuously monitor the enterprise for evidence of compromise or changes that increase the likelihood of compromise.
We must first understand the approach and goals of monitoring and define a methodology for analysis. Key terms such as Network Security Monitoring (NSM), Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM), and Continuous Security Monitoring (CSM) can cause confusion, and we will make sure these terms are understood to enable the security professional to guide an organization in the best practices. Speaking of best practices: we will emphasize the continuous monitoring of the Critical Security Controls.
Then we will describe enabling continuous monitoring by developing a model for employing robust Network Security Monitoring (NSM). NSM will allow an organization to deal with and make sense of data that will rapidly allow for the detection of potential intrusions or unauthorized actions.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
Continuous Monitoring Overview
Network Security Monitoring (NSM)
|SEC511.5: Automation and Continuous Security Monitoring
|Eric Conrad
Fri Apr 17th, 2015
Network Security Monitoring (NSM) is the beginning: we need to not only detect active intrusions and unauthorized actions, but also know when our systems, networks, and applications are at an increased likelihood for compromise. A strong way to achieve this is through Continuous Security Monitoring (CSM) or Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM). Rather than waiting for the results of a quarterly scan or an annual penetration test to determine what needs to be addressed, continuous monitoring insists on proactively and repeatedly assessing and reassessing the current security posture for potential weaknesses that need be addressed.
The volume of data that must continuously be sought and mined is vast: the goal of continuous monitoring would be out of reach without scripting and automation. Naturally, there are vendors and tools to scratch this itch, but they will be incomplete and require their own care, feeding, and monitoring. Day 5 describes how to perform continuous monitoring with simple tools and scripts.
Knowing how to script and automate is pointless unless you know what data should be captured and analyzed on a continuous basis. Again leaning on the Critical Security Controls, we will determine high value targets for continuous monitoring in an enterprise.

Continuous Security Monitoring
|SEC511.6: Capstone: Design, Detect, Defend
|Eric Conrad
Sat Apr 18th, 2015
The course culminates in a team-based capstone project that is a full day of hands-on work applying the principles taught throughout the week.
The first component of the capstone requires teams to assess the deficiencies in a provided security architecture, and offer the best way to bridge the gap to achieve a robust security architecture/SOC environment. However, there is a twist...Teams must provide two different solutions to the same problem. One solution is the best-case-scenario where there are no budgetary constraints and unicorns and pixies frolic throughout the enterprise. While understanding the best we could possibly hope to achieve is laudable, an essential skill is to be able to distill down the best an organization can do given only what they have. So, teams first get it easy and have unlimited CAPEX, OPEX, and fully competent staff, and then teams are presented with the "real world" scenario and deal with no CAPEX, limited expansion of OPEX, and a less than ideal staffing capability.
The second portion of the capstone is an exercise in continuous monitoring. The task is to quickly and thoroughly instrument monitoring for a network; then the monitoring will be tested by authorized and unauthorized changes, system and application compromise, privileged account abuse, and lateral movement (to name a few). Teams will need to determine the extent of the changes, and perform triage to determine where containment and response efforts should be focused.

Five things to look for as Penn State tries to build some momentum and pick up its first win of the season against Navy.
No. 1: Get early lead
Few teams in the country have a tougher time coming back from deficits than Navy, which relies heavily on its running attack, shortening the game and going on long, sustained drives.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn?State running back Bill Belton (1) and wide receiver Allen Robinson celebrate Belton's touchdown against Ohio. One of the keys to today's game against Navy will be to get out to an early lead.
Penn State's offense can nullify a lot of what the Midshipmen want to do by jumping out to an early lead and forcing them to throw the ball more. The Nittany Lions need to set the tone in the first quarter and finish scoring drives, meaning touchdowns, not field goals.
Bill O'Brien said he plans to simplify things in the red zone and put the offense in better position from a playcalling standpoint. He also is expected to stay aggressive on fourth downs, a good move given all the struggles in the kicking game.
The Lions are thin at running back with Bill Belton (ankle) and Derek Day (questionable), but they still should be able to run on Navy, which gave up 293 yards rushing in its opener.
Sam Ficken has the leg strength to make field goals, just not the confidence.
If he can make one early, look for his confidence to rise. But if he misses one or two more today, you have to wonder if he will ever recover mentally, and if O'Brien will just decide to go for it most of the time.
No. 2: Triple attack
Navy's triple-option offense is fascinating to watch. Few teams employ this offense, so defenses don't get to see it or prepare for it much.
The first option in the offense is almost always the fullback. The quarterback will act like he's handing the ball off to the fullback on most plays, and whether he does or not depends on what the quarterback sees from the defense.
There will be two other running back options in the backfield, so if the quarterback doesn't hand off to the fullback, he can pitch it to a back or keep it himself.
Penn State's defensive players have to stay on their assignments and be disciplined at all times, instead of overplaying the fullback, quarterback or pitch man. The defensive ends and linebackers are especially vital as they have to keep containment and not get faked out by the keep or the pitch.
The Lions have an impressive sophomore end in Deion Barnes, who will get a great test today. Outside linebackers Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti are outstanding players who should be able to figure out Navy's scheme, although it might take a quarter or so.
Blitzing can be dangerous against this offense because, if the defender misses and is taken out of the play, it opens up a running lane and can lead to big gains.
Notre Dame crushed Navy, 50-10, two weeks ago, so it would be easy to think this game could be a blowout, too. But keep this in mind: The Irish play Navy every year, so they know what to expect from the triple-option offense. Penn State doesn't.
SUBHD: No. 3: Get off the field
Penn State's defense - with the secondary primarily to blame - can't keep giving up big third-down plays that let opponents sustain drives. That problem must be corrected today.
Navy doesn't have the kind of passing game that allows it to convert a lot of third-and-longs. The difference in the game could be if Navy runs the ball well enough to get itself in third-and-short situations, which will be tough for the Lions' defense to stop.
SUBHD: No. 4: Win No. 1
If O'Brien can't get the first victory of his coaching career today, then don't count on PSU posting more than two or three wins all season.
SUBHD: No. 5: Player to watch
Navy quarterback Trey Miller has a tremendous amount of responsibility running the triple option. He has to make the right reads and determine what to do with the ball, so the entire operation depends on him.
Miller carried 20 times but for only 16 yards against the Irish. He also completed 14-of-19 passes for 192 yards as Navy fell behind big, so he is capable of putting the ball in the air effectively. The Lions need to be prepared for some surprise plays up top.
Prediction: Penn State 27, Navy 13

on November 12, 2012 - 11:44 PM
The Langston Hughes Institute of Buffalo will become another cornerstone in the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor as the Corridor Commission continues to cement plans for a district to commemorate black history in the city.
The institute moved last year from its High Street building to a leased headquarters at 163 and 167 Broadway, and purchased the facility last month. The site is the new home of the Center for Cultural History and Arts Education, and becomes the fourth anchor in the planned heritage corridor, along with the Colored Musicians Club, Nash House Museum and Michigan Street Baptist Church.
Karen Stanley Fleming, chairwoman of the commission, shared news of the purchase Monday, along with providing updates on the corridor, at a board meeting in the Larkin at Exchange Building.
Stanley Fleming said the team of consultants that was retained in March to work with the commission on a master plan for the area did a first draft in June and presented it at public forums during the summer for comment and feedback.
A week ago, she said, the consultants presented a draft of the management plan to the board that is only available to commissioners for now.
Commissioners voted Monday to approve the draft plan in concept and principle, subject to final edits.
The proposed corridor starts at East Ferry Street and Masten Avenue and continues south to Woodlawn Avenue, then to Michigan Avenue, and ends at Swan Street, with many offshoots along the way. Those offshoots include Pine, Sycamore, Elm, William, Hickory and South Division streets.
Commissioners will review the plan and forward their comments to the chairwoman by Nov. 26.
The group then has to approve the draft and forward it to the Common Council, which will hold at least two public hearings before voting on approval, said Laurence K. Rubin, attorney for the commission.
After that, the draft is sent to the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, which has 45 days to approve it or suggest further changes, Rubin said.
In addition to moving forward with the draft management plan, Stanley Fleming also said the corridor is partnering with the Buffalo Zoo to get Gates 3 and 4 at the zoo listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The zoo is part of the commission's Thematic Heritage Area, outside the proposed corridor.
Even though the zoo is already listed on the National Register, Stanley Fleming said, "We want to highlight in particular these gates" that were designed by African-American architect John Brent. He also designed the Michigan Street "Colored" YMCA and was employed by the City of Buffalo when he designed the structures at the zoo.
Stanley Fleming met with Mayor Byron W. Brown about locating the blueprints that Brent worked on and signed.
Commissioners also approved a collaboration with the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. The foundation will fund research and professional services to complete the application for the National Register.
The commission also is collaborating with Buffalo State College to archive the documents.
"We're working on interesting ways to do that," Stanley Fleming said.
"One aspect of celebrating Brent is to do an appropriate exhibition in conjunction with 'Year of the City,' " an observance at the college for the 2012-13 academic year, said Commissioner Edward O. Smith Jr., director of the Monroe Fordham Regional History Center and former head of the history department at Buffalo State.

In the spring of 2012, Citadel football coach Kevin Higgins had an offer to become offensive coordinator at a Big Ten school.
Kevin Higgins' record at Citadel:
Year Overall SoCon
2005 4-7 2-5
2006 5-6 4-3
2007 7-4 4-3
2008 4-8 2-6
2009 4-7 2-6
2010 3-8 1-7
2011 4-7 2-6
2012 7-4 5-3
2013 5-7 4-4
Total 43-58 26-43
"We had a team meeting, and he broke down and cried," Bulldogs quarterback Ben Dupree recalled. "He said he wanted to be with us."
Two seasons later, the Bulldogs had another emotional meeting Monday afternoon. This time, Higgins told his players he was leaving after nine years at the military school, to be an assistant coach at Wake Forest.
New Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson, who worked for Higgins at Lehigh University, has hired Higgins as his assistant head coach and wide receiver coach with the Demon Deacons of the ACC. It will be the first time Higgins has coached at the FBS level.
"That decision was really hard," said Higgins, who leaves The Citadel with a 43-58 record, including two winning seasons of 7-4 in 2007 and 2012. "We've had so many good kids here, and you sat in their living rooms and told them about your vision for what they were going to do. And then you have to leave. This was my second time having to do that, and it's not easy."
Citadel players expressed shock via Twitter on Monday morning as the news broke.
"He said it hurt to leave us," said slotback Tyler Renew, a rising sophomore who was among about half the team that was able to attend a Monday meeting with Higgins. "But the guys understand, he's a good coach who's been offered jobs before. It's a shock he's leaving, but not a shock that someone would offer him a good job."
The difference between the opportunity at Wake Forest and the one two years ago was a matter of timing, Higgins said.
"The one thing I wanted was to make sure that when I left, the program was in a solid position for the next person," he said. "I think the foundation has been built, and I'm excited for the next guy to step into one of the top (FCS) jobs in the country. I really believe that."
Higgins had a record of 34-4 in his final three seasons at Lehigh from 1998-2000 before leaving to work for the Detroit Lions in the NFL. But he was never able to match that success at The Citadel. He went 7-4 in his third season in 2007 with a spread attack that featured quarterback Duran Lawson and tailback Tory Cooper, but won only four games each of the next two years.
After the 2009 season, Higgins made the decision to return to the triple-option offense similar to the one the Bulldogs ran during their 1990s heyday under former coach Charlie Taaffe.
That era peaked with a 7-4 mark in 2012, and the Bulldogs had hopes for competing for a SoCon title in 2013. But The Citadel began the season with a 32-29 upset loss to Charleston Southern, and lost five games by a total of 22 points on the way to a 5-7 season.
"No, I have no regrets," said Higgins, who won his last two games against SoCon power Appalachian State, but went 0-9 against Wofford and lost twice to Charleston Southern. "We would have liked to win more games. The goal coming in was to win a championship. We didn't do that, but I'll be rooting for the next guy to get one, because I know what it will mean to the alums here."
Higgins did much to rebuild the football program at The Citadel, overseeing improvements to facilities and infrastructure that will serve the program well for years to come. He was the third Citadel coach in three years and fourth in six years when he was hired in 2005.
"There was so much instability at the place, and we were able to bring some stability back and get a foundation in place that had not been there," he said. "There were so many needs from a facilities standpoint, and we were able to restructure The Citadel Football Association and bring some more money in."
Citadel athletic director Larry Leckonby last week offered Higgins an extension through the 2015 season, but that was not enough to sway him from taking the Wake Forest job.
"It was a little bit of a surprise," Leckonby said of Higgins' decision. "We talked last week about his future here, about a contract extension. We met (Monday morning) and I gave it one last try to see if we could keep him here. We wish him all the best and look for success out of Wake Forest in the ACC."
Leckonby said he will appoint an "advisory committee," but will handle most of the work of hiring The Citadel's 24th coach himself. Meanwhile, the players will wait to learn the identity of their new coach.
"We'll try to stay positive and not let it get us down," Renew said. "We've just got to focus on getting ready for the next season."

Tsunami aid effort holds lessons for Pakistan
14 October 2005
by Bill Tarrant
Singapore City, Singapore: One struck near the roof of the world, the other at the bottom of the sea, but an unprecedented aid effort after the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami has lessons for Pakistan's catastrophe, aid experts said.
The geography could not be more different -- the 9.15 magnitude earthquake on Dec. 26 spawned a tsunami that swamped tropical coasts, while Saturday's quake destroyed Himalayan villages -- but the aid effort in both disasters have similar challenges.
The tsunami quickly became the most reported and well-funded disaster in history. Over 200 humanitarian organisations, along with 3,000 troops from a dozen countries, arrived to offer aid.
"Nearly everyone could hire a helicopter or boat, make their own needs assessments and distributions, and "fly the flag'," the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a recent report.
"Rivalries between agencies, competing to spend unprecedented budgets, did not encourage information sharing," it said.
With roads, bridges and ports destroyed, military aircraft was the primary conduit for tsunami aid. Coordination between civil and military agencies was not good, the IFRC said.
Those are key lessons for Pakistan, whose military is leading the aid effort after Saturday's 7.6 magnitude quake, experts said.
Volunteers lead way
As in the Dec. 26 tsunami, the initial response after the Pakistan quake has come most quickly from volunteers, said Gary Walker, spokesman for Plan International, an aid group working in both Asian disasters.
"Somebody drove up with 50 tents; 24 doctors left their jobs in Karachi to come here and used their own money to buy medical supplies," said Walker, speaking by telephone from Mansehra city, near the epicentre of Saturday's earthquake.
Coordination between military and civilians, between U.N. agencies, established NGOs, individual volunteers and spontaneous micro-aid groups would be essential, the experts said.
"A main pattern that we observe in emergency operations all over the world is people feel that they have to provide assistance that maybe doesn't fit with the reality," said Thierry Meyrat, Head of Delegation for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Sri Lanka.
In tropical Sri Lanka, useless winter coats and warm clothing were among the aid that flooded into the country.
In Banda Aceh, NGOs and volunteer groups met each day with the Indonesian government and U.N. agencies after the tsunami to decide who was going to do what.
Convincing Pakistani authorities to cut red tape and streamline aid deliveries was also key, experts said.
"The main frustration we had with Sri Lanka was although they weren't imposing customs duties on goods that arrived, they insisted on customs clearance," said Chris Weeks of the privately funded Airport Emergency Team, which intends to channel aid through Islamabad airport.
"The second thing in Sri Lanka is that the air force insisted on checking every single box of aid because of the security situation with the Tamil (Tigers), Weeks said. "I hope it doesn't happen in Pakistan."
The quake devastated great swathes of Kashmir, a rebel-racked Himalayan territory over which India and Pakistan have fought two wars.
Health of survivors
Water-borne diseases and respiratory ailments will threaten survivors in camps as winter approaches, health experts said.
"If the water supply breaks down, you'll have diarrhoeal disease. And in this situation with cold temperatures, more chances of pneumonia, especially children," said Dr. Anshu Banerjee, head of the World Health Organisation office in Banda Aceh.
Health is often cited as one the great successes of the tsunami aid effort -- almost nobody died of the feared outbreaks of communicable diseases -- but it was also among the most over-aided sectors.
One U.N. witness in Meulaboh saw 20 surgeons competing for a single patient. But midwives and nurses were in short supply, the ICRC report said.
Grief, depression and trauma, coupled with bewilderment about camp living, will create a long-term need to treat psycho-social illnesses, health experts said.
The Muslim custom of burying bodies means thousands of victims will probably end up in mass graves and never be identified, leaving families without closure.
Officials and aid experts also worry about donor fatigue after more than $12 billion was pledged for tsunami relief.
Around a million people remain homeless 10 months after the tsunami and now at least two million more in India and Pakistan will need temporary housing, for months if not years.
"One group I would want now to really rise to the challenge are the oil-rich nations which are having windfall profits of the oil prices," U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland told Reuters in an interview late on Wednesday.
"There should not be donor fatigue." (Additional reporting by Simon Gardner in Sri Lanka, Nopporn Wong-Anan in Bangkok, Jalil Hamid in Kuala Lumpur)

It's a shame how ignorant some of you are that you drown in your own bliss. I don't think anyone would disagree that LE is a highly dangerous, stressful job, that should never be taken for granted. But, there are two or more sides to every person. And while you praise the wonderful job that old Macher has done over the years, there are those who would strongly disagree. He could be viewed as one who has little more than repeatedly abused his position, and is a downright bully. Ask him to account for every minute of his time spent while on the clock, being paid out of taxpayer dollars, and whoa! And you're right about him not wanting recognition for many of his volunteer endeavors. He keeps a low profile there too, because of the abuse of those positions as well. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of them. Thankfully, we as a general public are smart enough not generalize, and judge all by the actions of one. Regardless, the event itself is very honorable, an

Standswithpolice. I have to agree with your comment about LT Macher. Everyone wants to get on here and bad mouth the man for doing his job. I have known him for many years and I can honestly say he is the one you would want to back you up when things get out of hand. Another thing many people don't know about is his involvement in community activities and dedication to the residents of the county. His involvement with the youth and the many hours he puts in to mentor and guide them.

I am beyond fedup with the continuous trashing of the police. 95% of the public has no clue what these men and women do for them every single day. They are human beings asked to do a highly stressful, very dangerous job...and they do it very well. Further, for those who do not appreciate the 35 years of service given to this community by Lt. Macher, it's likely because he called them on something that they should not have been doing. This is a man who is brutally direct and calls things as he sees them. You may not like him, but he's the first one you want coming to help you if you are in danger. If you don't like the job the police are doing, let's see you strap on a gun and straddle a crusier and do what they do. I'll see tickets.

I don't want to seem mean spirited, but events like these are ridiculous. We have all lost someone important to us and biking for cops, or seeing crosses on the sides of roads, or restricting guns because 26 people were killed is nonsense and depressing. We have alot more people killed in the coal mines and construction industries, but we don't do much there. Seems like the people who have resources or higher profile jobs can do this. Can't we do something more positive with our resources to celebrate life since we have all been hurt by death?

South of Puerto Vallarta and along the Pacific coast is the Costa Alegre, or Coast of Joy. This area of Mexico encompasses huge swathes of bays and sandy beaches and the thriving port city of Manzanillo. The city and surrounding bays were integral to Spain's 16th century trading routes between the Philippines, Mexico, and Europe.
Head north to experience the quiet beaches of Costa Alegre. Legend has it that gold from a wrecked pirate ship may still be found in the waters off the coast of Chalacatepec beach. This area is also a goldmine for birding enthusiasts. Make your way inland to visit the archeological site of La Campana, once part of a large and advanced pre-Hispanic society. Play in the warm, calm waters of Miramar beach in Manzanillo. Watch pelicans dive for fish as you enjoy fresh seafood from a beachside restaurant--try Maxi's for good Caribbean fare.
Sample from the salsa platter and dig into a beef and shrimp molcajete while you people watch at centrally located El Fogon. Eat where the locals eat - at Mariscos Carlos. This restaurant might sit behind the bus station, but don't let that fool you, dishes like golden shrimp taquitos and fresh lobster are top notch.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — The geriatric set booed Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell vociferously when he was introduced Friday at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium prior to a Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He got the same reaction when he came here for a game last month. Just imagine what it's going to be like April 5 for his first game back at Rogers Centre after high-tailing it out of Toronto.
Ugly potential for the Friday night suds in TO to come raining down. You would think Farrell would just want to get that first series out of the way but he downplayed the issue when I asked him about it here Friday.
"I'm not thinking about getting it out of the way. I'm actually looking forward to it," said Farrell, the former Bisons pitcher and Cleveland farm director. "There's been a lot of change that's gone on with Toronto and they've got a damn good team, one that maybe everyone will be shooting for this year in terms of trying to compete, contend and win this division.
"We're looking forward to every game and every series, wherever it is."
That, of course, was Farrell's politically correct answer. So I gently suggested I wasn't talking about the challenge of playing the team many think is the favorite in the AL East. I was referring to the reaction he would get.
"There may be," Farrell admitted. "I don't know. We'll soon find that out. But this game is always about the players. They are first and foremost and that's where the attention should be."
But the attention is going to be on Farrell. He raised plenty of eyebrows from Toronto fans and reporters here last month when he sarcastically said, "If memory serves, I was traded" to describe the events of the winter. Of course, there is no trade if he doesn't force the issue and get word out he wanted to replace Bobby Valentine.
So Farrell leaves, the Blue Jays go wild in the trade market and the Red Sox and Yankees are trying to stay out of the bottom of the AL East. On April 1 it's a Red Sox-Yankees opener. Who wouldn't want to see that? Except that it might be played with no Big Papi, no Derek Jeter, no Curtis Granderson and no Mark Teixeira. Yikes.
"Just on the outside, it looks like both teams have gone through a lot of change, a lot of temporary situations because of injury," Farrell said. "I'm sure everyone that pays attention to every opening series is looking at the marquee players because you want to see them perform. But in both cases, we're dealing with some banged-up rosters."
Farrell said Friday that Ortiz's lingering heel issues are no closer to being healed and it looks bleaker and bleaker for Opening Day.
"We haven't ruled anything out yet but we also have to be realistic on the calendar," he said. "With the time he's missed, we're going to have to go based on how he feels. We're not going to put him on the field until all his symptoms subside completely. That's getting better by the day but there's still time to work through this."
Farrell has a lot of issues so he's not going to worry about the boos in Toronto, no matter how many there might be at any point this year. He better worry more about boos in Fenway Park. The Red Sox lost 93 games last year. Hard to believe they can be worse. Hard to believe they'll be any better.
Puerto Rican Herd
Lots of former Bisons on the Puerto Rico team that was such a story in the World Baseball Classic. Nelson Figueroa, of course, was the winning pitcher in the game that saw the U.S. eliminated and several wire service photos showed him hugging pitching coach Ricky Bones, who spent three years in Buffalo.
Relievers Jose De La Torre and Fernando Cabera were also on that team, managed by Buffalo Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Pena. One of the outfielders was 31-year-old Ricardo Nanita, who may be coming to Buffalo in his third year of Triple-A ball with the Blue Jays.
Tuia the Tiger?
Matt Tuiasosopo spent all of 2012 with the Bisons and manager Wally Backman constantly mentioned his name as a guy the Mets should look at. The Amazins never did and Tuiasosopo signed with the Tigers over the winter. Jim Leyland is paying close attention.
Tuiasosopo sent out a mass email to basically every big-league team to gauge interest in his services. It's how he landed with the Mets, and thus in Buffalo, last year. This time, the Tigers showed the most interest and Tuiasosopo had an agent negotiate a minor-league contract. He did his deal on his own last year but said the contract was tough to work out with the Mets.
Tuiasosopo started the spring 0 for 14 with eight strikeouts but then went on an 11-for-20 burst with three homers and eight RBIs. On Friday, he belted an into-the-wind home run off Washington ace Stephen Strasburg.
"It's amazing how things work out sometime," Leyland, the Tigers' manager, told reporters last week in Lakeland. "When we came to camp, you guys weren't asking me one thing about him and I wasn't telling you one thing about him … because I didn't know him."
Tuiasosopo was drawn to the Tigers because of the opportunities they seemed to have in a utility role and, of course, by their success last year.
"I remember watching the World Series and saying this was the organization I wanted to be a part of," he said. "I had heard nothing but great things."
Of course, the Tigers don't need him at first base (Prince Fielder) or third base (Miguel Cabrera). But he can play there, the outfield and DH. He might get squeezed out of a spot but he'll be a quick call away in Toledo.
Jays on move?
There's lots of rumblings that the Blue Jays might be a couple years away from being lured out of Dunedin, the Gulf Coast city they've trained in since their berth in 1977. Toronto is the only current big-league team to have never switched its spring site but the quaint Florida Auto Exchange Stadium is about three miles from their minor-league complex and teams prefer everything in one setting.
That's largely why the Red Sox left a perfectly fine setup in Fort Myers for a newer, splashier one by the city's airport that included all the minor-league fields.
Rumors in these parts have the Jays potentially lining up with the Mets or Astros on a joint complex, like the Marlins and Cardinals have in Jupiter, Fla., or like several teams have built in Arizona.
Around the horn
• Bad news for the Mets: Manager Terry Collins said Friday that Johan Santana's shoulder simply isn't ready for the season and he'll stay in Florida while ex-Bison Jeremy Hefner takes his spot in the rotation. Santana hasn't been on a mound since March 6.
"He's not where he needs to be in his long-toss program," Collins said. "Even if it's next week, he's not going to open with us. He's going to have to get himself ready. That's going to determine where he's at."
• Farrell on Buffalo Baseball Hall of Famer Torey Lovullo's move with him from first-base coach with the Blue Jays to bench coach in Boston: "Such a smart mind. A lot of good conversation with him both on and off the field. Great communicator. And he has run a damn good camp."
• How absurd is it getting for the Yankees? Outfielder Brennan Boesch, signed to help fill the absence of Granderson, felt soreness in his ribcage Friday and was scratched. The Yanks are again in hold-their-breath mode.
• The Pirates still can't get lefty Francisco Liriano into a game while he's rehabbing a fracture of his non-throwing arm. Indianapolis, here he comes.

The Pittsburgh fan was very upset when someone pointed out to him that Roethlisberger hasn't won a playoff game sine 2010, while Flacco and Eli have won world championships. They show so much Bensitivity.

Southside Denny & The Snyders: Music in the Park
Friday, July 20, 2012
In the summer of 2011, blues artist Denny Snyder(aka Southside Denny)decided to include two of his three children in his band's live concert. presentation.At just 12 years of age, his daughter Lorrie had already appeared on two songs of Snyder's eighth album (Full Circle, winner of blues album of the year in Québec for 2010), and performed with him in the summers of 2009 and 2010. Since that time she has taken up the electric bass. and holds down the bottom end for the Snyders. The addition of her voice in the band breathes a whole new life into her father's blues. Denny's son, Philip , who began playing the drums at 3 years old is already a drum and percussion veteran at age 11. He first performed with his father in October of 2010, and last August played both the caron and drum set in his father's shows in Québec and in the U.S. After the successes of last summer the trio decided to make this entity an official band and call it simply by their given family name: The Snyders. Deeply rooted in Chicago blues, this band merges a diverse group of musical elements into their sound, making it very difficult to categorize t

The statistics are quite sobering: Over 40 percent of cancer patients die from causes related to malnutrition, not from cancer itself.1 If you aren't adequately nourished or are depleted of protein or other nutrients, you may be suffering from malnutrition.
Why is malnutrition such a threat? Cancer causes changes that can alter the level of nutrients your body requires for optimal functioning. Side effects associated with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can complicate your ability to eat, absorb, or utilize foods. The final insult comes when a malnourished body can't support treatment goals. When you are poorly nourished, your current treatment may not be as effective, or you might not be able to tolerate further treatments.
Over time, inadequate or improper dietary habits can wreak havoc on the healthiest individuals, even "healthy" cancer patients. If you don't address dietary deficiencies, cachexia ensues. Think of cachexia as a downward spiral. Every cell in your body requires many nutrients to work effectively. Without the proper fuel, cells can't do their jobs, and debilitation begins. Without an opportunity for rebuilding, the chances of recovery are greatly reduced.
Before you dismiss malnutrition as a condition for the weak and debilitated, understand that even minor degrees of undernutrition are associated with a marked increased risk of hospital admissions and death.2 Between 40 and 80 percent of all cancer patients develop some degree of clinical malnutrition.3
You can take several steps to make sure your nutritional status is up to par:
