It may seem incongruous that the Buffalo Bills are reaching out to a team that lost 11 of its last 12 games for head-coaching candidates.
Yet the Arizona Cardinals had a well-respected staff this season, despite their lack of success.
The Bills interviewed their second Cardinals coach Wednesday, meeting with Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton. The session followed a meeting Tuesday evening with recently fired Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt, the Bills confirmed.
Meanwhile, more interviews were on the docket. The Bills were scheduled to meet this weekend with both University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, according to numerous media reports.
Horton, 52, is a 19-year NFL coaching veteran with a strong presence and was viewed as a good leader in Arizona. He already has interviewed for the vacant Cardinals head job and with the Cleveland Browns.
He told Arizona reporters before the interview Wednesday he was eager to meet with the Bills' executives.
"I'm excited about the opportunity here [in Arizona] and the fantastic interview I had with Cleveland last night and going to try to knock Buffalo's socks off," Horton said.
Horton coached a Cardinals defense that ranked 12th in the NFL this season. Arizona was fifth in sacks, second on third downs and first in interceptions. They were 17th in points allowed, a category that was hindered by the fact the Arizona offense ranked last in the league.
Horton is a protege of Pittsburgh Hall-of-Fame coach Dick LeBeau, for whom he both played and coached. Horton was on LeBeau's staff in Cincinnati from 1997 to 2001. He was defensive backs coach in Pittsburgh (where LeBeau is defensive coordinator) from 2004 to 2010.
Horton said he does not worry about being pidgeon-holed as a defensive coach.
"I think I'm a coach of men," he said. "I talk about a plan to build a team. I don't talk about, 'Hey, I can build this offense or this defense and good luck with the rest of the team.' Whether you're an offensive coach, you've got to have a defensive guy who can do something on that side. It all blends together. I think that's a zero issue."
Horton also declared he would not call the defensive signals if he became a head coach.
"Nope. I delegate," Horton said. "I think a guy that controls everything controls nothing. I would be there to assist and help if needed. But I trust the coaches I hire to be experts at their positions.
"Now, am I going to get 11, 15, 22 experts who are going to be experts at every position? Probably not. But the two coordinators are going to be experts. Really, in my power structure, that's how it works. Your head coach and two coordinators have to be expert at their position. ... There's a hierarchy of critical positions. The quality control is not the most critical position on the staff."
Whisenhunt, 50, was fired after the Cardinals' 5-11 season.
Nevertheless, he got widespread credit during his tenure for turning around a team that had gone 16-32 in its previous three years. That's the same record the Bills complied under fired coach Chan Gailey. Whisenhunt improved the Cardinals from 5-11 to 8-8 in 2007. They made the playoffs the next two years, going 9-7 and reaching the Super Bowl in 2008, then going 10-6 in 2009.
Veteran quarterback Kurt Warner retired after the '09 season. The past three seasons, the Cardinals went 18-30 and started six different quarterbacks.
Whisenhunt had a major say in personnel with the Cardinals, more than many coaches and more than he would have in Buffalo. That's because the Cardinals did not have a dominant general manager. It's widely believed in Arizona that Whisenhunt could have used more help on the personnel side.
There was no word Wednesday on whether the Bills were going to interview Cardinals offensive line coach Russ Grimm. Also on Whisenhunt's staff was ex-Bill Frank Reich, who was receivers coach.
Kelly, 49, is scheduled to interview with the Bills, Eagles and Browns, according to both USA Today and NFL.com. His Oregon team faces Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl tonight. Kelly is considered one of the bright offensive coaches in the college game. His Ducks are 45-7 in his four seasons and lost to Auburn in the national title game in the 2010 season.

They hadn't even gone public with their relationship – in fact, they had only recently begun seeing each other – when Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon decided to take the plunge. "We got tattoos!" says Carey. "His is on one shoulder to the other and it says 'Mariah.'" And hers? "It's on my lower back and it says 'Mrs. Cannon,'" she says. Only after that did they ink a marriage license – and pull off the surprise wedding of the year. Carey and singer-actor Cannon first met in 2005 at the Teen Choice Awards but only started dating in late March. Just weeks later, to the shock of a lot of their friends and family, they whisked off to Carey's Bahamian estate and wed in a sunset, ocean-side ceremony April 30. While still on their honeymoon, the giddy newlyweds spoke exclusively to PEOPLE's Liz McNeil about their whirlwind courtship, Cannon's candy-themed proposal and – yep – having kids.
So, how does it feel to be married?
Mariah: [Laughing] Who wants to go first? You go first.
Nick: It feels amazing. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. I've been smiling for days.
Mariah: It's comforting – and something I've never felt before. Which is really being in love and happy with someone who really understands me and isn't trying to do anything but make me happy. It's wonderful.
It happened pretty fast, didn't it?
Nick: In our minds, it was a love-at-first-sight thing. Since we've been together, we've been inseparable.
Mariah: I don't think anyone realized what we already knew – that we were going to get married.
When did you first know that?
Nick: I'd always admired Mariah from afar, but once we connected I felt it was destined: This has to be my wife.
Mariah: I definitely knew. Of course, everyone is running the photo from the 2005 Teen Choice Awards . . .
Nick: From then on, I thought, "I have to get closer to her and express my true feelings." I was praying I'd have the chance to share them with her.
Mariah: People were very skeptical and told him, "You can never get past her people." I only knew that he'd say nice things about me. So I thanked him when [I saw him again].
Nick: I said, "I meant every single word. Hopefully I can express more to you." She was down-to-earth. From that point, we built a friendship.
In late March, Carey flew to Antigua to shoot a music video for "Bye Bye," from her new album, E=MC2. She cast Cannon, 27 – star of MTV's Wild'N Out, and an entertainment minimogul with his own record label and clothing line – as the romantic lead.
Mariah: I told people, "I like him and want him to do it." The song was a love story. It was perfect for us.

Great pics and it's so true! I am such a sucker b/c I gave in and let Cricket have a couple Snowballs (same as a snowcone out in the midwest) all in the name of Summer! Normally it'd be over my dead body but so true, what is summer without some frozen sugar water?! I feel much better knowing you do it too :)ReplyDelete
summertime memories!ReplyDelete
Happy WW!
I can tell that darn Icecream truck came by your house! Right? When we lived there they would come EVERYDAY right at dinner time. The kids would be all upset and crying. It was awful. We finally had to make a rule that we only got Icecream on Thursdays. That way they knew not even to ask until Thursday. But, it sucks when all the kids in your neighborhood get IC everyday, and that stuff can get expensive with 3 kids!ReplyDelete
But, those are cute pics anyway!
You have made my mouth water for some popsicles...ReplyDelete
Bomb pops!!! Those are still my all time favorite summer treat from my childhood!! Love those things!! Great pics, you have the cutest boys!!ReplyDelete

looks like the ice cream man drove by? you guys are all adorable!ReplyDelete
we have some rocket pops in the freezer, but i'm hoping the kids continue to not know they exist. those things are like injecting the sugar straight into their hyper little bodies! they are only for emergencies at this point.
Yup, definitely looks like summer - and a fun one indeed!ReplyDelete
LOVE snow cones and slushy cold stuff! One of the best ways to cool off!ReplyDelete
mmmmmmmmm......... frozen sugar!!!! YEAH!!!!ReplyDelete

Nokia Lumia 928 vs Apple iPhone 5
0. phoneArena 21 May 2013, 07:45 posted on
Now that Nokia has introduced its true high-end Windows Phone offering for Verizon Wireless, it's sure to try its mightiest to chip away at the iPhone 5's always stringent grasp. Considering that it's sporting a competitive price point of $99.99 with a 2-year agreement, there's no arguing whatsoever that the aggressive approach might actually make customers think twice about settling down on a device – even more when it's packing goodies that the iPhone lacks, such as wireless charging, NFC, and a super sensitive display...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Iphones still look like toys, not something anyone over, say, 8, would own.
14. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
So, does that mean that Apple has a lock on the 8 year old phone owning population? I didn't know there were that many 8 year olds whose parents would get them a $200+ phone plus cellular plan.
17. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
The iPhone 5 looks umm "cute" compared to the 4.5-5" phones I would buy, but for my wife it'll be plenty big. Nobody should dismiss Apple for being highly appealing to that large and very lucrative segment of the market.
39. sectime (unregistered)
Still like yours?
44. TheBitterTruth (unregistered)
Even after all these facts.. iPhone 5 outsolds all of the windows phones.
P.S I am a loyal Nokia supporter but this is fact.
66. windork (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 May 2013)
they only outsold Windows because of their 70+ old people. Android and Windows. But we don't even need to wait till they die, soon their eye sight will be to bad to see the tiny screen
70. oldhamletman (Posts: 72; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
absolutely not true.... the Nokia 920 series for the first 4 months of introduction continuously on a weekly basis , outsold all iphone models combined at any point in history...
This is another Apple biased review, completely ignoring the WinPhone 8 voice assistance and inferring that Siri crap is the only game in town... also inferring that many critical apps are not available in wp8 which is a complete lie....
I think it would be nice to get a review from someone who actually knew what they are talking about when using windows phone.... I fell for that small screen Iphone crap for years and when I got a windows phone everything got a lot easier....
also this review ignored the fact that Apple continues to charge far more for their phones... no way I ever buy an Apple again
77. windork (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 May 2013)
but, even though in this entire article there have been no ISheep, only fandriods and windorks battling (as usual)
56. quadrazeus (Posts: 359; Member since: 03 May 2013)
Oh, I didn't know that. So around 40 million kids (under 8) buy it every quarter. That seems very true.
62. Dastrix (unregistered)
The funny thing is that two years ago, these two companies could not even compare, let alone be on equal terms, which shows how much Nokia has improved and innovated, while Apple stood still.
79. rf40928 (Posts: 10; Member since: 20 Aug 2013)
I think the 928 is a good phone, but when I see "spec" comparisons they don't mean alot in the real world.
For example- Android phones that have 2gigs of RAM - need it. Ever go into a store and try and Android phone with 1gig of ram ? They slow down and at times seem to "stick' for a second. The iPhone with 1gig of ram runs super smooth. This is what happens when you compare an operating system ( android ) that is 8Gigs large versus iOS which is only 3gigs. Android needs more RAM to run as smoothly..
Back to what I said in the 1st sentence at the top - In the real world a smartphone is an internet appliance. Turn off your data and all you have is a phone with a camera. Most people pictures are automatically downgraded to much lower then 8mp when they upload pics to facebook anyways. So what matters is apps apps apps - remember this is an internet appliance.
Apple store 800,000 apps versus 120,000 apps Windows. So while you can compare phone specs - again comparing specs of different platforms with Operating systems that have different requirements isn't really fair. IMHO Samsung has done a great job of marketing the S4 although no one needs more then 10 MP in a phone camera - a 5MP Camera can print a photo lab quality 8x10 picture.. How many do this from a phone ? Not that many..

Nokia L928 looks very smart, stylish, sexy, class aluminium, with a better camera than any other phones, except PV808.
iP5 great all rounder, wins in Cpu, Gpu, apps, games.but those ugly curves look hideous.
Both are great device in there own ways!

butthurt fanboys...
I am a Samsung fanboy and I like Lumia's, I even thumbed you guys up.
some Samsung and HTC fanboys dislike every comment that doesn't praise their lovely smartphone,
12. windroid (unregistered)
+1 from me for a contructive criticism.
And because I share the same comment as you.
Just one consideration the Lumia is half the contract price.
42. icyrock1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
TBH, I wish they could have used the same LCD display they used on the 920. I personally think LCD's produce better colors, and while I haven't seen the 928 in action, I have seen the 920 and it's screen is amazing. I have no doubt they also put an amazing display on the 928, but in my experience at least, LCD's give a better reading experience (I read allot of books from my phone).
50. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
You are right, I agree with you.

How on earth can you appreciate Nokia?
I am still confused.

Good review, though too much use of defensive words, PA..
And will be glad if you post some concrete numbers.
15. abcdefgh (banned) (Posts: 471; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
way to go nokiaaa
16. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Now this I feel is a fair comparison. Of course when they pit the 928 against the Galaxy S4, PA will pick the Galaxy for its bigger screen, higher resolution, higher specs. Against the iPhone it's a more balanced fight. And like most of their comparos it comes down to preference.
To be truly fair though, they should pit the $300 32GB iPhone against the $100 32GB Lumia. That's a much tougher sell for Apple.
18. rahulz (Posts: 117; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Very nice comparison
waiting for th comparison between next gen iPhone and nokia EOS
19. cornerofthemoon (Posts: 590; Member since: 20 Apr 2010)
I'd probably go with the Nokia since Windows Phone has most of the major apps these days and I've never been impressed with the touchscreen responsiveness and keyboard of iOS devices. My 2 cents.
40. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
You are kidding me right? Iphone 5 has the lowest input lag of all phones, only phone that comes close is Nexus 4.
If I would have to pick one of these two phones, I wouldn´t pick neither :), none of these phones have android, I do not like WP and IOS.
67. windork (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 May 2013)
if you don't like either OS, why did you read this?
71. oldhamletman (Posts: 72; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
Ive used both pedro0x, and I can tell you for certain, the Nokia is 5 times better on responsiveness... sorry you got ripped off by apple... but it is what it is
32. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
i'd pick the 928 if it wans't a WINDOWS PHONE (And if it dodn't have that HUGE bezel, and wasn't glossy)
34. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"...and wasn't glossy)"
Which phone display isn't glossy? If glossy is objectionable, isn't that why you can purchase a matte screen protector? Plenty of matte screen protectors are sold for the iP5, I would think they are likewise available for the Lumia.
59. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I meant the if the plastic wasn't glossy but matte like the HTC One X or the Lumia 920 (or 900) in black or cyan.
33. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Hah No Contest! Nokia Lumia 928 is real innovation compared to the iPhone 5
41. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Innovative, huh?! So putting a new camera in a phone is real innovation. 928 is almost the same as 920, except the camera. And the camera isn´t as good as it should be, the pictures aren´t that great, wow they are on par or better as a 8 months old phone, awesome. Iphones wins in almost everything, except camera and display(if you like bigger screens and more saturated).
68. windork (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 May 2013)
#Galaxy S3 vs S4: Lighter + even bigger screen
#IPhone 4S vs 5: Lighter + taller screen
#Lumia 920 vs 928: Lighter + better camera + bigger screen
Big updates don't happen every year, this is only a year after 920, just because it's only 2X better than everything else doesn't mean you should be upset
63. BraggingBob (Posts: 25; Member since: 17 May 2013)
Nokia Lumia 928 is real innovation compared to the iPhone? Nokia didn't know what hit them when Apple came up with the iPhone. Apple is the main cause of Nokia's decline. Nokia barely knew what a smartphone can do especially with Symbian - no ecosystem, no touchscreen, no apps, etc. You call Windows Phone 8 innovation? I admit hardware is nice but it won't justify a costly monthly data plan.
65. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
In short, Apple force Nokia, Samsung and other manufacturers to innovate. I agree that when the iPhone came out it was a sudden surprise and Apple did change the mobile industry. This force many manufacturers to change their strategy and learn from Apple. Now they have learnt and are innovating more than Apple. Apple is not bringing anything that much new compared to previous years, however manufacturers like Samsung and Nokia are trying to do their best bringing something new to the table. Most Windows Phone look same, Nokia can't change the UI. The only thing they can do is, improve the OS, bring some new Apps and improve on hardware side. They are doing that very well. However Apple could also surprise us again with new stuff and I believe they are smart enough to work on new technologies. What i don't like about the iPhone is the amount of unnecessary hype that it is getting. The iPhone 5 is great improvement to the previous iPhone, but it is nothing revolutionary. I don't hate the iPhone, it's just that as a consumer it does not appeal to me. I respect your choice as a consumer, and I hope if you have an IPhone, you're having a good time with it.
72. oldhamletman (Posts: 72; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
wp8 is , without a doubt, major innovation and a full generational step ahead of IOS... Apple is getting embarrassed on usability, business app integration, cloud services, gaming... basically everywhere..
Apple fanboys need to wake up and see what's happening, because people who have genuinely tried both in depth (which is very few people BTW)...know that Apple is getting their azz kicked
between these BS reviews where the author doesn't even know there is voice assist in wp8, and appleheads thinking they know what wp8 is about... you guys are hiding your heads in the sand

BS.. half this was conjecture and obvious fanboydom run a muck.. There is NO WAY the iPhone camera holds up to the 928.. NONE. Not even close. The OS is outdated.. and looks it. I also pointed out "siri" being a benefit.. Funny everyone i know with Siri hates it and it rarely works smoothly. Also what is this nonsense "various organizer function" that apple has and MS is lacking in..? Only lacking as you don't know how to use WP8 obviously. You lost me on that comment alone.
54. Damo579 (Posts: 242; Member since: 18 May 2013)
I love Nokia as much as anyone else but in daylight photos the iphone 5 and lumia 92x are about the same,I know because I have a 920 and my gf has the iphone 5. In low light and videos the advantage goes to my lumia the OIS and HAAC microphones are awesome. After the amber update the lumia's day photos will be even better.
60. cdgoin (Posts: 533; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
This is the 925.. it has a different 6 lense camera.. not the same as the 928 or 920.
69. Damo579 (Posts: 242; Member since: 18 May 2013)
This is the 928,same camera as my 920 only difference is the 928 has a xenon flash instead of led for photos.
53. Damo579 (Posts: 242; Member since: 18 May 2013)
God review and I think that the only advantage the Iphone has are apps,this advantage is becoming lees now because windows phone are starting to get more big name apps. If ios7 isn't good Apple might start to lose customers. I know many people that are ditching their Iphone for Galaxies and I converted a couple of people to windows phone.

The Lumia is also more contrasty in video whereas the iPhone looks like it has a milk layer above the video
Yes the iPhone has a tiny bit more detail IF you have a steady hand or a support with you ;)

This review is VERY Apple biased.
I have an iPhone5 and a Lumia 920 (which is not even as good as the 928)
Example of clear bias in review.
1. They write:
"Having spent a great deal of time composing various texts and emails on the two,
we'll vouch for their fantastic on-screen keyboards,
since they're super responsive and offer some of the best auto-correct features"
Thats not correct, I have both the iPhone5 and the Lumia 920 that has the same auto correct as 928
And the Lumia drives in circles around the iPhone when it comes to auto correct.
The iPhone doesnt correct anything on tis own, you have to choose the right word.
The Lumia use a "sentence based auto correction system" which means that even if you dont get all the letters right it will automatically correct the faulty words based on the sentecne
you are writing NOT ONLY THE WORDS. You can be a slob and not look on the text and still get it right with the Lumia.
With the iPhone you have to check berfore sending or it might end up on a sms parody
site for Apple smses ;)

I generally don't comment a lot on forums but figured I would here.
First off Im a huge apple fan using all their products and have had iphones form the 3g up to the 5.
I own an iphone 5, Nokia 928 and an HTC DNA.
I love the iphone for its ease of use and simplicity. It is my preferred OS for business use.
The Win8 Nokia 928 is fun to use, easy to hold, NPC is fun (although not really useful), the larger screen is great, and the night camera shooting is amazing.
The DNA is the most stylish design in my humble opinion, amazing graphics for games and the HTC widgets are pretty cool.
I guess what Im saying is they all have their pros and cons but any of these phones would be perfectly expectable for everyday use. I am an apple guy but I do see the appeal of new and fresh operating systems and styles ( Id like to see an iphone about the size of the nokia 928 with a nice OS reboot.
Use what you want to use and dont worry about if the other guy doesnt like it cause their hung up on pop culture.

Battery - "Honestly, we don't find one handset better at delivering longevity with their battery life, as we're able to easily get through a solid day of normal usage on both smartphones. However, expect usage to be considerably less on both if you're constantly connected via 4G LTE."
REALLY! Lets be REALLY HONEST about this. The Lumia 928 has TWICE the usage expectancy of the iPhone5s and YES, I CAN PROVE IT! Go to Verizon's website and compare the Lumia 928 to iPhone5s and look at the results. iPhone5s has 600 minutes of usage. Lumis 928 has over 1200 minutes of usage. So why would you say that you don't find one handset better at delivering longevity when it is CLEAR that the Lumia 928 has TWICE the longevity? Nice try Apple Fanboy, but Lumia 928 definitely WINS on this one!

St. Bonaventure has a long and proud history of providing quality graduate-level education. Our first master's degree programs were offered in the 1920s.

St. Bonaventure University graduate programs are offered on the main campus near Olean, N.Y., and at the University's Buffalo Center, located on the Hilbert College campus in Hamburg (south of Buffalo).
Olean-based classes are offered during the day or (mostly) at night, while most Buffalo Center offerings employ a unique five-week weekend format.

Harmony, Fla. – Stetson's men's golf team bounced back on Tuesday in the final round of the Harmony Golf Preserve Intercollegiate, but was unable to make up ground on tournament leaders to finish fourth in the five-team tournament.
The Hatters opened the event on Monday with a one-over par 289 in the first round, but slipped to 297 in the second round to fall behind Florida Atlantic for third place. Stetson finished on Tuesday with a 291, but FAU was able to hold the Hatters off by completing play with a 289.
Florida Gulf Coast charged from five shots off the lead in the final round to rally for a tie with Northwood University. The Eagles posted a tournament best seven-under par score of 281 on Tuesday to share the tournament title.
FAU's Derron Peyton turned in a third consecutive strong performance – he posted scores of 71, 68 and 68 – to hold off Louis Hirst of Northwood for individual honors. Peyton finished the event with a nine-under par score of 207. Hirst was two shots back.
Stetson sophomore David Torres earned his second consecutive top 10 finish, closing with a one-over par score of 73 on Tuesday to finish the event with an even par score of 216. Fellow sophomore Dustin Dingus finished with an even par 72 on Tuesday to tie for eighth place, two shots behind his teammate.
Freshman Eliott Azoulay had his best finish of the year, earning a tie for 15th thanks to his final round score of 73. His eight-over par score of 224 put him in a group of four players.
Sophomore Andrew Peterson was one shot behind Azoulay, in a tie for 19th place, after finishing at nine-over par 225.
Junior co-captain Matt Taylor bounced back from a tough second round to post his second 73 of the event on Tuesday. He finished the tournament at 12-over par 228 in 24th place.
Freshman Zach Stark closed with a 76 in the final round to finish 27th.

Operation Our Town had a great year in 2011, but the battle to rid the community of drugs continues, officials said Thursday.
"We have done a great job, and we can do better. We will never get to zero but we'll get to a manageable level we can control," said Operation Our Town President Michael Fiore at the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Club.
Founded in 2006, Operation Our Town is a partnership between businesses and the community aimed at taking neighborhoods back from drugs and violent crime through law enforcement as well as proven treatment and prevention techniques.
Reacting to the problems presented by Blizzard, a brand name for a now-illegal form of bath salts, was Operation Our Town's greatest accomplishment during the year, Regional Director Randy Feathers of the state Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation said.
The influx of Blizzard, which was made illegal in August, led to an increase in Blair County drug overdoses and drug overdose deaths, which rose from 15 in 2010 to 27 in 2011.
Operation Our Town chipped in $16,000 to create a video about Blizzard that was shown to students in Blair County schools.
"I believe it did wonders. This drug was legal at the time; kids thought if it was legal, it was not lethal. The video made a dramatic difference," Feathers said. "The Blizzard problem is really under control."
"It came at the county like a hurricane. I am proud of how we have attacked it. The organization stepped up," Fiore said. "This is a never-ending battle; we have to be ready and prepared. As soon as we react, there is something else around the corner."
The problem with methamphetamine labs, which surfaced in 2010, is now under control, Feathers said.
"We put a bulk of the knuckleheads in jail," Feathers said.
Fiore said 45 businesses contributed $10,000 or more over the last six years, but more help is needed.
"It is important all businesses come on board. We need people to step up, not just with dollars. We have to be involved and be the leaders to maintain a good lifestyle in our community. If not, we will go back to the way things were seven or eight years ago, if we don't continue to fight," Fiore said.
With the support of Operation Our Town, the Neighborhood Watch program will be revitalized in 2012, Blair County Sheriff Mitchell Cooper said.
The Neighborhood Watch Program encourages people to be aware of their surroundings, neighbors to look out for neighbors and for people to report suspicious activity.
All Blair County police departments have agreed to participate in the program, which will officially kick off April 17, Cooper said.
"Neighborhood Watch does have an impact. When crime decreases apathy sets in, that is why we are stepping up to revitalize the program," Cooper said.
Mirror Staff Writer Walt Frank is at 946-7467.

MARTINSBURG - The Apollo Civic Theatre's first production of 2013 is about facing the truth.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" uses various intense emotions to peel back the layers of a couple's life, who may be leading it in a kind of alternate reality because they cannot face their reality.
Edward Albee's play debuted on Broadway in 1962. A 1966 movie starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Their own tumultuous relationship and numerous marriages to each other in a way perhaps mirrored the relationship characters Martha and George have with each other.

Martha is portrayed by Emily Stevens in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' at the Apollo Civic Theatre in Martinsburg.
"There's a lot of bickering, drinking and game playing," said director Jeff Wine. "When they invite a younger couple over for drinks, we learn George and Martha's marriage is based on games. They live in an unrealistic world."
Martha is the daughter of a college president. Her husband, George, is a professor at the college. Her life hasn't turned out how she imagined. But she copes in unusual ways. George, too, is miserable. Their marriage, Wine said, has lots of ups and downs.
"One minute they may have a normal conversation," he said. "The next, they are yelling. The next, they're playing their games."
When we meet them, the couple has returned from a faculty party with lots of drinking. Martha tells George she's invited a young couple over for a nightcap, Nick and Honey. Nick is a professor, too.
Nick and Honey seem to have their whole life ahead of them; they have dreams they have no doubt will come true. As the night goes on and the liquor flows, the edgy, yet sometimes humorous banter, takes a serious turn. By dawn, the degrading mess that George and Martha have made of their lives is exposed.
Jeff Wine said Martha is vulnerable and afraid of the future. Divorce was not a common option in the early 1960s. And, she has a certain family image to uphold.
The play's title comes from the theme of author Virginia Woolf's work.

"Virginia Woolf, along with her work, was all about truth and layer peeling," Wine said. "So, 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' essentially means 'Who's afraid of living without false illusions?'"
Jerry Tracy plays George. He agrees.
"Virginia Woolf was known for being brutally honest," Tracy said. "George hides from life in academia. The truth moments are hard for him to face. They both know things haven't turned out the way they planned. He's not as successful as she'd hoped him to be, or as ambitious. ... He's resentful of her feelings over that."
Tracy wouldn't expect Martha to consider divorce. He sees their marriage as a deeply intense relationship.
"They're not indifferent to each other. They really do love each other," he said. "There are moments when you think they'll tear each other apart. Then, they stop and take care of each other, or protect each other, or defend each other. Their anger for each other is over their frustration over their situation. It comes out because they really are so connected with each other. It's not because of a lack of love, but because of it. Otherwise, it would be easier to let it all drop. It's insightful and intriguing."
Tracy and Wine said the play isn't all about anger and bickering. There are many humorous moments, dark humor and wit. Tracy said Albee was great at balancing it all. He said the characters are a challenge to play.
"There's a large range of emotions. Few plays achieve what this one does," Tracy said. "We see tremendous empathy, compassion and insight. I'll catch a line or section every time we rehearse. I'll realize, 'Oh, that's what that means.'"
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," Wine said, has many aspects that the audience has to figure out, and analyze what is true or not. It has an unusual twist near the end.
This version is the area premiere of Edward Albee's 2005 revised version of the story. Wine said they are very excited to perform this revision.
"It isn't much different, but has much more colorful language," he said. "There were words that couldn't be used in the 1960s. This is closer I think to what Albee really wanted the characters to say."
The production is rated R due to adult dialogue, vulgar language and content that may not be suitable for children.

Steve Yzerman?
When did Yzerman take a complete year off besides the lockout? If that's what you are talking about I would consider it a little different since everyone had to take the year off, and a lot players played across seas or in some type of organized league to keep in top shape.
Who says he wants to come back?
Maybe I misunderstood what I read? I thought he wanted to take a year off and come back...?
Ya, no GM would ever want to do that..sign a 40 year old who sat out a year....
...oh wait...
Oh man I knew someone would nail me for that. I still think its a little bit different though. The type of people/players Thomas and Hasek are. Both different in my opinion. It would all depend on if Thomas still worked out and such as well. If he sat around playing video games and out partying and stuff like that I would be real skeptical on signing him.
EDIT: Hasek actually sat out a year though without playing? I thought that was when he took that little stint in Europe?
EDIT2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominik_Hašek I guess he did not play 2 times throughout when he started his career. I still think hes one of those people/players that would have a asterisk next to his name, since you know he's known for keeping himself in the best of conditions and such.

How many years later and Sony still has not released a 50mm or 24mm equivalent for their E mount and their 35mm is a mediocre slow and overpriced.
IMHO, they should have joined m43s.
no, m43s has its own range. its to small for great bokeh. if you look at NX and NEX pictures with manual lenses (samyang 85mm f1.4) you have great quality, great bokeh and nothing you can get with a m43. imho ;)
Good to see the range of lenses expanding, the 56mm loks great.
Not sure what to make f the comments above though, if it's a 50mm equivalent that's being requested then the 35mm f1.8 has been launched. If its a true 50mm the Sony has had one all along. The most significant gap for both ranges is a fast telephoto lens in the 85-105 range. Hopefully someone will release one soon.
Fuji doesn't have a year in the market and already has more decent and useful lenses than Sony.
NEX cameras have 50mm f/1.8 basically. In December there will be a 35mm f/1.8. The overall quality of Sony's lenses is not top.
Fuji have high optical lenses and they already have more useful fast primes than Sony and this roadmap and prototypes just shows Fuji's real commitment with the consumer. Sony almost have more bodies than lenses and they have tons of zoom and almost no fast primes!
Where's the 90mm f/1.8 (=135mm FOV)??

Cobalt is a naturally occurring inclusive (inclusion: any mineral or material that is trapped inside another mineral while being formed) mineral found in various ores used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high strength alloys.
Cobalt's properties include increasing the strength or hardness of a steel. Knife manufacturers who are forging knives from metals such as VG-10 and Ginsan-ko have an added benefit due to the cobalt content already present in these two types of steel. The Cobalt vanishes after the tempering process. Forging a knife purely out of Cobalt is nearly impossible and would be not be cost-effective. When sharpening these types of knives, it may be more difficult to regain a proper edge, but their durability and cutting edge are razor-sharp.
The petty is a smaller chef knife that makes it a convenient size for peeling and other delicate work.

DeLAND—Fifth-ranked Florida State combined to score six runs in the seventh and eighth innings as the Seminoles handed Stetson a 9-4 setback before a near-record crowd, Tuesday at Melching Field.
Stetson (20-30 overall) and Florida State (37-11) traded leads through the first six innings. Leading 3-2, the Seminoles scored four runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth to pull away. The game drew 2,883 fans, the fourth-largest crowd in Melching Field history.
"The four-spot in the seventh killed us," said Stetson head coach Pete Dunn. "I'm not going to say you can't ever come back from a 9-3 deficit, but against a team like FSU the chances are very slim. The scary part is that we can play well for six or seven innings in a ball game, but then one or two bad innings have been our downfall all year."
The Hatters opened the scoring, getting a single run in the bottom of the second. Kyle Zech started the rally with two outs, lacing a double just inside the bad at third. Mike Fernland followed with a double over the head of left fielder D.J. Stewart, easily scoring Zech for a 1-0 lead.
FSU responded with a pair of runs in the top of the third. John Sansone led off the inning with the first of his two doubles. After a walk to Justin Gonzalez and a sacrifice bunt by Danny De La Calle, Adam Schaly replaced starting pitcher Kurt Schluter and promptly surrendered a two-run single to Josh Delph as FSU grabbed a 2-1 lead.
Stetson tied it in the bottom of the fourth when Fernland singled home Josh Powers with two outs, but it didn't stay tied for long. Delph delivered another run-scoring hit in the top of the fifth to give FSU back the lead at 3-2.
The Seminoles seized control of the game in the seventh. Gonzalez started the scoring with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-2. Three batters later pinch-hitter Brett Knief lined an RBI single through the left side, extending the lead to 5-2. Stewart followed with a two-run, infield single as the Seminoles showed aggressiveness on the base paths in taking a 7-2 advantage.
Stetson plated its third run in the bottom of the seventh when K'Shawn Smith scored on a double play ball, but FSU once again responded, scoring twice in the top of the eighth for a 9-3 advantage.
The Hatters' final run came in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Tyler Bocock.
Stetson had plenty of chances to take control of the game early, or get back in it late, but went just 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position. The Hatters also grounded into three double plays. With just six games remaining in the regular season, Dunn stressed the Hatters need to shore up their play in order to have any kind of chance in the post-season.
"If we can eliminate some of the mistakes we've been making, we'll make a run (down the stretch)," said Dunn. "If for some reason we can't figure it out, it's not going to happen."
Stetson collected nine hits, with Fernland and Powers getting two each. Mitchell Jordan (2-7) suffered the loss after allowing three runs on two hits in 2.2 innings of work.
Peter Miller (3-3) picked up the win for FSU, tossing three scoreless innings with four strikeouts.
The Hatters return to Atlantic Sun Conference leader when they visit conference leader Mercer for a three-game series, beginning 6 p.m., Friday in Macon, Ga.

, updated November 15, 2012 at 7:51 AM
Even with their bitter congressional campaign behind them, Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul and successor Chris Collins continue to agree on little – including how to deal with the nation's looming "fiscal cliff."
Collins, the newly elected Republican from the 27th Congressional District, has not wavered an iota against avoiding tax increases to address a growing federal budget deficit.
On the other hand, Hochul, who is serving out her term in Congress, believes that compromise will avoid a plunge over the fiscal cliff that some experts predict could spawn a 0.5 percent dip in the economy next year.
While attending freshman orientation sessions in Washington this week, Collins was already challenging the logic of President Obama's call Wednesday for "middle ground" while still seeking tax increases on the wealthy.
"Clearly, I'm disappointed that the first thing he said was that he would raise taxes on the wealthy," Collins said. "I was encouraged he said we want to reach across the aisle, but the next thing he said is he didn't want to cooperate."
"That's a nonstarter," he said of the tax hike proposal, adding that tax increases and job creation "go together like oil and water."
The latest differences with Hochul reflect the tenor of their just-completed campaign.
While Obama proposed additional taxes on those earning more than $250,000 throughout the campaign, the outgoing congresswoman is talking about ways to bring Republicans to the negotiating table.
"There is middle ground," she said. "I believe the threshold is $500,000, and that way you don't hurt small business with higher taxes and still have a major step toward deficit reduction.
"We need to return to the tax rates of 2000, when we had a surplus in this country and the economy was literally on fire," she said.
But she also made it clear that spending reductions are needed.
Hochul consistently emphasized the need to reach across the aisle in the race she barely lost. And just as consistently, Collins ran in the state's most Republican congressional district emphasizing a pledge to stand firm against raising taxes.
Now their latest political chasm is widening as both are in Washington – Hochul still holding the power to vote; Collins champing at the bit to take over in January.
He thinks the current Congress should "kick the can down the road" during the lame-duck session, seeking a more permanent solution in the new year.
"And I'm not a kick-the-can kind of guy," he said.
If there is one theme that Collins has emphasized in recent days, it's the need for Obama "to lead." Part of that obligation, he said, is for the re-elected president to recognize that he and fellow Republicans will not raise taxes.
"He needs to lead the debate," Collins said. "He has not led the last four years, but needs to lead the next four years. The Republican House members have been the ones to offer solutions but just get gunned down by the president and the Senate.
"OK, Mr. President," he added. "You now have to lead … and understand that Republicans will not change their position on a tax increase."
Collins said he does not believe that Obama can claim to represent the nation's sentiments on taxes in the face of a House that voters returned to GOP control.
"He absolutely does not have a mandate," Collins said. "If there is a mandate, it's for him to lead."
Collins will begin voting in the House in January on the premise that lots of fiscal cliff solutions are possible – except new taxes.
"If that's what it comes down to, the answer is no," Collins said. "Everything is on the table except raising taxes on small-business owners."
A neighboring Republican congressman, Tom Reed of Corning, is sounding more conciliatory. He told reporters in a Tuesday conference call that compromise is possible.
"I wanted to stress my firm commitment to do whatever I can to try to find common ground to make sure that we do not go over this fiscal cliff," he said, according to the Elmira Star-Gazette. "We have studied this from all angles, and if we do go over this fiscal cliff, I see significant impact on our economy."
Reed did not summarily dismiss the prospect of a deal on taxes. "We're going to have to wait and see exactly what the package is," he said.
Hochul, meanwhile, approaches the lame-duck session adamantly opposed to the temporary fix suggested by Collins.
"It needs to be tackled now," she said. "It's irresponsible to push it down the road. The uncertainty that now paralyzes this country can be solved if we can do this as soon as possible."
The congresswoman said that even though she lost the election, she feels she is still reflecting the wishes of her constituents.
"All I heard on the campaign trail is that Democrats and Republicans have to stop fighting," she said. "Whatever happens in the 113th Congress, I have no control over. But it's still the 112th Congress, and I'll represent the district the way I always have."

My friend has Multiple Myeloma and has had to have 2 kyphoplasty procedures in the past 2 months. During the second procedure some of her ribs were fractured. She is on her last treatment of her 2nd round of chemo and has had a lot of pain in her back. She has said that it isn't directly on her spine but to the right and left of it. She has been told it is muscle spasms and has been taking medication for it. Is anyone familar with these types of spasms and how long they may last? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat them to make the pain a little less intense for her? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
My mother started chemiotherapy in June 2011 with dexamethasone, thalidomide and melphalan.
Before the tratment, in April 2011, she had: IgA=0.27, IgG=24.22, IgM=0.12, light chain Kappa=6.95, light chain Lambda=0.38, free kappa in urine=20.78, free lambda in urine=0.54.
After eleven months (May 2012), the biopsy showed she had less than 0.5% of plasma cells with neoplasic phenotype (I assume myeloma cells), so the specialist decided to suspend the chemiotherapy until further increase of malignant cells.
However, she stayed with thalidomide.
In June 2012, she had: IgA=0.26, IgG=7.26, IgM=0.15, light chain Kappa=2.09, light chain Lambda 0.69=, free kappa in urine=112.61, free chain lambda in urine=27.11
The variables that increased were the free chains in urine (kappa and lambda).
Eventhough she hasn't got anemia (she's had always Erythropoietin 10.000 Ul twice a week), she feels she's got low energy (not as bad as while having chemio)
The specialist is not sure about suspending the thalidomide: I assume the upside of not suspending it is that it helps controlling the myeloma, but I think the downside is that it weakens her.
My question is: should I suspend it?
My husband was diagnosed with multiply myeloma eight days ago after six months of horrific pain. He refused to go to the doctor and I forced him in the end. He refuses all treatments even pain medication. I am at my wit's end. How long will he live without treatment?
Instead of 10 mg I chose 25mg on & off for maintenance. It has helped with reducing digestive track problems. ed
My husband is on his first relapse of MM. He was dx'd in 12/08, Revlimid throughout 2009, able to have stem cell transplant in 4/2010. What I would like to share with folks is he started to become very fatigued, loss of appetite, excessive thirst, fevers off/on, etc. 4 - 6 weeks prior to us being told he was in renal failure and the MM has returned. Watch for these signs/symptoms, challenge the doctors to look harder, the renal failure, by chance, was found by a gastro doc we were sent to for blood in his stool. While he knew my husband's history, he said he thought there might be something else going on. A simple CMP was done showing the hypercalcemia, etc. With the immediate admission to the hospital and subsequent 10 days of fluids, drugs and 5 transfusions, he's now on chemo. I believe he will pull through this and encourage all to just keep challenging your doctors! We are blessed tha he was in remission for 4 years and we will get through this relapse as well! I work full-time and caregive full-time but wouldn't have it any other way! My husband is 64 ... prayers all around for all of your loved ones

INWOOD - The mood of the country remained patriotic five years after the end of World War II, so it wasn't unusual for young men to enlist in the armed services when the Korean War broke out in June 1950.
Cyril L. "Cy" Kammeier of Cold Spring, Minn., was one of those patriotic young men, and he wanted to join.
He had a couple extra incentives for wanting to enlist. His older brother, who had served in WWII, was called up as a reservist, and another older brother, Roger, who died only recently, planned to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Article Photos
Seen in this black and white photograph, 'Cy' Kammeier talks with Vietnamese Marines when he was an advisor in 1968 to 1969.
"So, I said, 'I'll go with you,'" Kammeier related recently during an interview at his home in the Webber Springs subdivision outside Inwood.
However, he was only 17 years old and still in high school. He needed his parents' permission to join, which they would not give.
On his 18th birthday, Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day - in 1951, he enlisted in the Marines and thus began a career in the Corps that took him into battle, across the United States, around the world and instilled in him a devotion to the Marine Corps.
Kammeier shipped out for Camp Pendleton outside San Diego, Calif., for boot camp and then to Pickle Meadow near Bridgeport, Calif., in the Sierra Mountains for cold-weather training at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center. He was being trained as a replacement infantryman.
He arrived in Korea in December 1952 and was attached to the 1st Marine Division, seeing one major battle during his tour, the Battle of Carson Reno Vegas in March 1953.
"Otherwise, we did a lot of patrols - it was rather uneventful," Kammeier said.
Having gone to a good parochial school, St. Boniface Catholic School, he learned to "read, write and type," he said, so when the war ended, he was assigned to the division headquarters and worked in the general's office.
At about this same time, the French suffered a great defeat at Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam at the hands of the communist insurgents, and the French government requested American assistance.
"We were getting ready to go from Korea to Vietnam, but (President Dwight D.) Eisenhower decided against providing assistance," Kammeier said.
He would get his chance to go to Vietnam 14 years later.
Kammeier returned to the United States in April 1954, and was sent to work at the Marine Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he was a staff non-commissioned officer in the instruction section.
He learned that the Corps was looking for recruiters, so he applied for the job and went to recruiter school, where he learned public speaking and salesmanship, which would serve him well later in life.
Kammeier spent three years in his home state of Minnesota as a recruiter, but was called back to Washington to work for the commandant of the Marine Corps.
During this period, he went to officer candidate school, rising to warrant officer and then to commissioned officer.
He did a stint in Albany, Ga., at a supply base, where, he recalled, "It was the only job I had were work interfered with golf."
This was followed by a return to Washington and Marine Corps HQ.
"It was time to go to Vietnam," Kammeier said. "Every Marine had to go."
He was to be an advisor to Vietnamese Marines, he said, and went to Army Special Warfare school at Ft. Bragg, N.C.
"We learned about nation building, civics, a lot like what they're doing now," Kammeier said, referring to America's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He arrived in time for the Tet Offensive of 1968 at the height of the Vietnam War.
"It was rewarding - I felt that we did something," Kammeier said. "I worked with a Vietnamese Marine battalion and we go along well. We controlled U.S. assets, a powerful muscle."
It was during his tour of duty in Vietnam that he was wounded during an ambush. He received the Purple Heart, which would play a large role in his life after the service.
"It was a minor wound," Kammeier said. "A 'qualifying round.' It wasn't serious. Sometimes I feel guilty when I see guys who have lost limbs and worse."
It also was during his time in Vietnam that he realized how hard deployment was - and still is - on the families who stay behind.
"There's a lot more support, now," Kammeier said. "It's a family atmosphere. The Marine Corps is a military family. It's a way of life. I made lifelong friends, who will be with me forever."
After Vietnam, it was back to Washington where he served as the administration officer for the Marine commandant.
In 1974, with the rank of captain, Kammeier retired from the Marine Corps.
"The Marine Corps was good to me. It was a really great career," he said.
During his career in the military, he also found time to marry his high school sweetheart, Mary, and raise three kids, Deborah Lee, John Paul and Keith.
After the service, Kammeier spent two years as executive director of the Leatherneck Association and five years as executive director of the Marine Corps League.
He worked for the consulting firm of Booz Allen and Hamilton in Chicago, but he didn't care much for the "windy city," so it was back to Washington and home in Springfield, Va., where he had bought a house in 1965 and where his family had remained.
Springfield is the home of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and its Purple Heart magazine, he explained. In an emergency, Kammeier was asked to step in as editor, he said. It was supposed to be for only one issue, but he ended up editing the magazine for the next 12 years, he said.
He is now listed as editor emeritus of the magazine.
He and Mary moved to West Virginia five years ago.
"When you join the service, you take an oath of office to defend the United States and many veterans keep that in mind forever - it's indelible," Kammeier said. "Veterans tend to be patriotic because they have an appreciation for the country. Generally, they have a greater appreciation for what we have as a nation."
He would recommend a stint in the military for anyone.
"For a young man who hasn't found his footing, spend a couple of years in the military - it's a great growing up experience," Kammeier concluded.

David Dale, a disbarred Buffalo attorney and former Erie County legislator, was sentenced Wednesday to a year in county jail after a judge refused to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea to defrauding clients and practicing law after being disbarred.
State Supreme Court Justice Christopher J. Burns listened to Dale talk about his past community service and the special medical needs of his young daughter as reasons against a jail sentence.
But Burns called Dale�s actions an affront not just to those whose money he took, but to the legal profession.
When Dale pleaded guilty in June, he admitted stealing money from clients by pretending he was still permitted to provide legal services, several years after his 2005 disbarment.
A new attorney was recently assigned to Dale, replacing Thomas J. Eoannou.
Dale sought to withdraw his plea, but Burns refused.
�The defendant essentially contends that his plea was not knowing and voluntary because it was based upon the ineffective assistance of counsel and the �coercion� and �bullying� of the court and [the prosecution],� Burns said during the sentencing hearing. �Each of these allegations is unsupported by the record before this court. The transcripts of the prior proceedings, each conducted in open court, refute the defendant�s claims of �coercion� and �bullying.�?�
In fact, Burns said his review of the transcripts of hearings before and after the plea �support the court�s initial determination that the defense was engaged in dilatory tactics intended to delay resolution of the � charges.�
Dale failed to show that ineffective assistance of counsel forced him to plead guilty, Burns said, adding that Dale�s answers during his plea proceeding �directly contradict� his later assertions about his plea.
�The defendant�s replies indicated he understood the proceedings and the nature of what he was pleading to,� Burns said.
�That�s an appropriate sentence for Mr. Dale, given the nature of his crimes,� said Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
A grand jury indicted Dale on charges of collecting more than $10,000 in illegal fees from seven unsuspecting clients for estate and real estate work between August 2008 and January 2011.
Dale could have been sentenced to up to four years in state prison on his convictions for first-degree felony scheme to defraud and practicing law after being disbarred.
Dale said his daughter�s medical condition � she�s prone to seizures � requires a parent to be with her. His wife, the family�s breadwinner, works as a nurse at night, while Dale has stayed home during the day to care for the children, he said. �It�s very important that I�m home,� Dale said.
In 2005, an appellate court disbarred Dale for mishandling an estate case and costing clients more than $110,000 in penalties for late estate tax payments.
