Bills' Brown, Jennings to miss Vikings game [3:10 PM]
AP reports: 'Bills coach Gregg Williams said on Wednesday Brown is close to being cleared to resume practicing, and Jennings isn't expected to miss a significant period of time.'
Whispers from around the NFL [2:11 PM]
ESPN reports: 'This could be a make-or-break camp for three Bills veterans: DE Erik Flowers, who is struggling with a neck injury, DE Bryce Fisher and WR Jeremy McDaniel. Trade rumors continue to float around Buffalo regarding RB Shawn Bryson. The thinking is that the Bills are waiting for another team to have an injury at RB, after which they can make an offer. Bryson is currently slated to be the primary backup for Travis Henry, but the Bills have two other RBs who could fill that role in Sammy Morris and Richard Huntley. Don't be surprised if Bills guard Marques Sullivan supplants veteran Jerry Ostroski as the starting right guard. Ostroski remains on the PUP list with a leg injury, and Sullivan has been playing very well.'
Bills cut Bradley, Fletcher [1:27 PM]
AP reports: 'Both were late acquisitions, signed just before the start of training camp.'
Experience seasons Newman [1:21 PM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: "Sometimes you can put too much pressure on a guy when he's in his third year... and I think that (happen) to Keith," Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray said. "(In 2000, he was) starting and dominating and then you have to play like Sam and you have to play in the nickel, the dime and the ruby (cover packages) - to me, it was actually too much, but he took it and didn't complain. He did his job and I think that will help Keith this year."

Bills try to teach high schools lesson - anyone can help with heat [10:04 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "At the professional level, we can have more. We have a staff doctor on hand at all times, IVs and complete first-aid facilities. High schools have water, but they don't have money for anything else," says Carpenter, whose team has a shed at his training camp piled high with case after case of Gatorade and another indoor facility to help cool overheated players. But a high school could find $30 for a pool that could help prevent a heat-stroke tragedy.
Chris Brown: Veteran defensive lineman Shawn Price has passed physical [9:11 AM]
WGR reports: On several occasions the Buffalo Bills have maintained they have an interest in Price and were waiting for him to be physically healthy before opening discussions on a possible contract. The Bills will presumably put him through their own physical exam, but talks between the two sides are expected to begin shortly if they haven�t already.

The championship ring he received from New England does not glitter for him. "I'll be more proud," he said, "of the one I win here."'
TMQ does not look favoribly on Preseason tailgating [12:46 AM]
ESPN reports: Further proof of the decline of western civilization: At Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., fans began parking RVs and campers in stadium lots to start tailgate parties two days before a preseason game.
Lary Bump: Coaches demand more from D-line [9:10 PM]
Shout! reports: The coaching staff seemed particularly rough on the defensive line, and a brief look at the one-on-one pass-protection drill showed why. Tyrone Robertson, expected to start, couldn't get by Tom Schau, who quite likely won't make the team (unless even more offensive linemen are injured). The only defender who clearly won one on one was James Cotton, who ran around left tackle Kris Farris. Pat Williams redeemed himself after Corey Hulsey pushed him down on their first attempt, and Justin Bannan had the upper hand in a do-over with Marques Sullivan
Banged-up line doesn't concern Bledsoe [9:08 PM]
AP reports: '"You'd love to have all those guys out there all of the time," Bledsoe said Tuesday, following the Bills training camp session in suburban Rochester. "But that's just not the way it works. Part of being a successful team is that you have to be able to compensate for those things."'
While Ostroski was surprised to hear the news, Bills GM Tom Donahoe denied a published report that the team has asked the veteran lineman to take a pay cut. Donahoe said he's had no discussions of that nature with Ostroski or his agent.
Larry Felser: In Buffalo Bledsoe has weapons again. [8:59 PM]
Empire reports: Not only does he have one of the better one-two wide receiver punches with Eric Moulds and Peerless Price, but a spectacular rookie in Josh Reed, college football�s top receiver last year. Kevin Gilbride, the new OC, is using Larry Centers, the NFL�s all-time pass-catching back, downfield instead of exclusively a dink-and-dunk catcher. Bledsoe�s proven skill of hooking up with tight ends is double now with Jay Riemersma and Dave Moore.
Injuries Mount on Bills Offensive Line [8:56 PM]
Profootballnews.net reports: Coach Williams has made it clear that Trey Teague will not shift to tackle from the center position. It is unclear whether or not Jennings or Price will be available for Friday�s preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Coy Wire: Natural Born Hitter [5:36 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Flies like a missile, that is.

Len Pasquarelli: Ostroksi to take pay cut for second year straight [3:14 PM]
ESPN reports: Buffalo offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski has lost his starting position and now could lose $1 million. Word is that the Bills have apprised Ostroski he needs to reduce his 2002 base salary from $1.75 million to $750,000 to ensure himself a roster spot. It looks like Ostroski will take the pay cut.
Ostroski has reported denied this report.
Spoon Placed On Injured Reserve [10:40 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Bills today announced that the team has placed linebacker Brandon Spoon on the Injured Reserve list.
Bills get a charge out of depth at tight end [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Jay is your starter right now and he gives you a guy who can press it up the field better than most tight ends can do," he said. "He's a blocker who is getting better and needs to continue to improve at the point of attack. In Dave Moore you have a good all-around tight end, a solid blocker who can run routes well. He gives you versatility. He can come back into the backfield. He doesn't have quite the up-the-field ability as Jay."'
Brown, Williams giving back [9:05 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo Bills guard Ruben Brown was honored for his extensive charity work, and defensive tackle Pat Williams did a good deed for his high school alma mater.'
This game is a pain [5:22 AM]
D and C reports: '"I hate all this attention, I hate being in training rooms and being with Rusty every day. I just want to play," Ostroski said Monday after another long day of rehabbing his surgically repaired knee with Jones and watching his teammates go through a pair of steamy practices. "It was never about all this stuff before, it was about showing up every day at work, doing your job and going home. Hopefully I can get back to that."'

COLUMBIA — State Sen. Vincent Sheheen confirmed Wednesday that he will launch a gubernatorial bid this summer, setting up a possible rematch with GOP Gov. Nikki Haley.
The move has been widely expected for months, particularly after Sheheen last month released a book laying out his policy prescriptions for improving the state.
Sheheen, a 41-year-old Camden Democrat and attorney, lost to Haley by more than 4 percentage points in 2010.
Haley, also 41, has not formally announced she will seek re-election but is expected to launch a run this summer following the conclusion of the legislative session.
Haley already has hired campaign operatives, including her former chief of staff Tim Pearson. She also has more than $2 million in her campaign account after the first quarter of this year. That's a significant advantage over Sheheen, who had $92,000 on hand in his Senate coffers at the close of last year.
Sheheen opened a gubernatorial campaign account on Wednesday, making a $500 contribution to himself. He will have to get written authorization from contributors to transfer cash from his Senate coffers to his gubernatorial account.
Sheheen said in an interview that the 2014 race will be defined by whether voters are satisfied with dysfunction in state government, notably last year's massive breach of taxpayer and dependent information at the state Department of Revenue. Sheheen also took a more direct swipe at Haley, the youngest governor in the country.
"I think people want a governor who's more concerned about South Carolina than they are about ideology or personal political advancement," he said.
In a statement, Haley's political adviser Pearson blasted Sheheen.
"Not really much news here — he's been running for governor his entire adult life — but it is ironic that Vince Sheheen, a pro-labor union trial lawyer, would announce his candidacy the day after Boeing announced 2,000 new jobs in South Carolina," Pearson wrote. "Vince's message to job creators: We'll raise your taxes, have trial lawyers take you to court, and let the labor unions push you around. Real inviting."
In a release, S.C. Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian said, "If Nikki Haley wants to talk about lifelong political candidates, maybe she should look in the mirror and remember the government has paid her paycheck almost her entire adult life, where Vincent is a small business owner and attorney with a record of results."

NIAGARA FALLS – The state's highest court has come down on the side of the Niagara Falls School Board in cases filed by employees fired for violating the district's residency rule.
The Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that Roxanne A. Adrian, a high school English teacher, and Karrie Beck-Nichols, a production control manager in the administration, cannot get their jobs back.
A third case, involving high school guidance counselor Keli-Koran Luchey, was sent back to State Supreme Court in Niagara Falls "for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion." Michael F. Perley, attorney for the school district, said that presumably means Luchey will not get her job back, either.
All three employees were fired at the Sept. 24, 2009, School Board meeting, after reports were received from private investigators hired by the district who tailed their vehicles after work and on weekends.
"The Court of Appeals held the law is enforceable, contrary to what the lower court said," declared Angelo Massaro, attorney for the School Board.
State Supreme Court Justice Ralph A. Boniello III had said it was not enforceable in a ruling in favor of Adrian and Luchey in October 2010.
The high court ruled Tuesday that the district doesn't have to hold a disciplinary hearing, called a 3020a hearing after the applicable section of the Education Law, in order to fire anyone over residency violations. That's because residency is a condition of employment for all Niagara Falls School District staff.
"The 3020a issue was a real big deal to Adrian and Luchey's counsel," Perley said. "That was engineered from the beginning to get to the Court of Appeals."
Anthony J. Brock of the New York State United Teachers, who represented Adrian and Luchey, could not be reached to comment Wednesday. Neither could Terry M. Sugrue of Buffalo, who represented Beck-Nichols.
Massaro liked another aspect of the 24-page ruling. "They emphasized that the process followed by the board through the eight or nine years of litigation was proper and complied with due process," he said.
The court found that the district exceeded what it needed to do in terms of warning letters and interviews seeking evidence about where employees actually live.
The residency rule says school district employees who already live in Niagara Falls must stay there and that new hires who don't live in the city have six months to move in. A six-month extension of that deadline may be granted by the School Board.
Beck-Nichols lived in the Falls when she was hired in 1994, but she and her husband bought a house in Lewiston in 2001 and signed a STAR tax exemption form in Lewiston calling that their primary residence. But she filed forms in 2003, 2004 and 2009 asserting she still lived in the Falls.
Adrian was hired in 2003, when she lived in Williamsville. She was given a six-month extension of the deadline to move into the Falls. She claimed she lived on 73rd Street, but she used her Williamsville address on a state form for permanent teaching certification in 2007.
Luchey lived in North Tonawanda when she was hired in 1999. She claimed to have moved into the Falls in 2000, but investigation found that sometime before 2008, she had moved to Amherst.

The City of Kenosha will acquire the land where Chrysler autoworkers built engines for decades.
In a special meeting Monday night, the City Council accepted the title for the 109 acres in Kenosha. The city and state agencies will spend $30 million to clean up the vacant manufacturing site where the engine plant once stood.
The buildings have been razed, but city administrator Frank Pacetti said there's "tons and tons" of concrete that needs to be removed, among other things.
Mayor Keith Bosman said there are no firm plans for the site, but that he envisions a business park. City officials estimate it will take five to seven years to clean up the property.
The Chrysler plant was closed in October 2010.

A year after Zooey Deschanel filed for divorce from Ben Gibbard, the pair's marriage is officially over.
The New Girl star, 32, and Death Cab for Cutie crooner, 36, were divorced on Dec. 12, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to the papers, "Unhappy and irreconcilable differences have arisen between the parties, which have caused the irremediable breakdown of their marriage. There is no possibility that counseling … or mediation could save the marriage."
Neither Deschanel nor Gibbard have spoken at length about the split – which was made official in Oct. 2011 – but shortly after the divorce filing, the actress told PEOPLE, "We're friendly. It's all fine."
Married in Sept. 2009, Gibbard has said of his former wife, "I was just awestruck that she was even talking to me. I'd seen her movies and obviously I thought she was very beautiful."

"You couldn't have put the astrological symbols in a better place, " says Thornton on the pairing of Kate, a Capricorn (born January 9, 1982) and William, a Cancer (born June 21, 1982). "They even have the sun/moon tie up. It's classic symmetry."
Looking to the stars to see what the year ahead will hold for the royal couple, Thornton says: "It's all about re-establishing the popularity of the monarchy and they will continue with that."
And the duchess will continue to grow into her new role, which will prove more integral than ever. "She might not have been born royal, but she is what the royal family needs and she is the great hope for the monarchy," Thornton adds.
William, who shares the same star sign as his mother Princess Diana, has some big decisions on the horizon with regards to the future of the monarchy. "He wants to make it relevant to the people, in many ways echoing the spirit of his mother," says Thornton. While Kate with her "self-discipline and real empathy with people" will be the support system Prince William needs.
"When things are difficult, she steps right up to the plate – she's got a wonderful temperament and her moon in Cancer gives her an instinctive connection with people," reveals Thornton.
Of course, the question everyone wants to know: Will there be a pitter patter of tiny royal feet next year?
"They will eventually have a family but it will be a surprise for them. But she is very maternal and they'll make good parents when it happens."

NEW CUMBERLAND-Friday's school shootings in Connecticut have prompted two mothers of New Manchester Elementary School students to speak out about safety concerns they have regarding the school.
Theresa Cain and Brittan Williams, both of whom have children who attend New Manchester Elementary, told Hancock County school board members Monday night that they think all Hancock County schools should undergo a thorough security review.
"There definitely are (safety) gaps," Cain said, declining to elaborate on what she thinks those gaps are. "We don't want to publicize that."
Cain and Williams said they hope to have a conference with Superintendent Suzan Smith and other school officials soon to discuss their concerns in greater detail.
New Manchester Elementary, like other Hancock County schools, has video surveillance cameras and a buzzer system for entry into the school building. But Cain said elementary schools should have a Prevention Resource Officer the way middle schools and high schools do.
"I don't think that a door buzzer and a camera is enough for our elementary students," Cain said.
"As a parent," said Williams, "I'm just asking that you promise to take a look at it to see if you can make it better."
The women said Friday's shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 first-graders and six school employees were shot and killed, prompted them to ask for improved safety features at Hancock County schools.
"It can happen to us," Cain said. "Changes need to come at every angle."
Smith told the women that she spent Monday touring the district's schools, speaking with principals, reviewing security procedures and checking on the welfare of students and personnel. She also sent an e-mail to principals over the weekend asking them to review security protocols.
"We're not ignoring it. We've been working on it all along," Smith said. "All our principals are working on this. We always try to be proactive."
Board President Jerry Durante, who worked in the security field for 30 years, said the board has made safety at the schools a top priority.
"It's pretty difficult to disagree with you," Durante said to the women. "We share the same concerns that you have. ... We're not immune to this just because we're in New Cumberland or New Manchester or Weirton. The smallest communities have been affected by this."
Durante said the board recently took steps to close some holes in the district's security plan, but then added, "Is there more that can be done? No doubt." Neither Durante nor Smith would discuss details of changes made to school security systems.
Smith said the improvements being made at Allison and New Manchester Elementary schools-funded by the $37 million bond call-are, in part, being done to address security issues. For example, both schools are getting new windows that do not open, she said.
"The reason they don't open is so intruders can't get in," she said.
Smith said the three new pre-kindergarten classrooms being built at Allison and New Manchester Elementary will eliminate the need for out-buildings, which also will improve safety. "All the pre-K classrooms will now be part of the school building," she said.
Smith acknowledged the need for a continuing review of security procedures. She also said bus safety remains a constant concern.
"There are a lot things we need to be looking at," she said. "The public needs to be helping us out."

The original was design number CT40 (they stopped using design numbers in 1998) and was made in Green, Purple and Red.

Roasted veggies nestled in cheese spread find home on flaky pastry
While I like most of the components that go into Mediterranean cooking, I don't always like them together. I have a limited tolerance for cured olives and artichokes, for example, and I've probably ruined myself on the cuisine by repeatedly overcooking the attendant chicken breast.
And do not come near me with cold bulgur; my feelings about tabbouleh are unprintable.
This recipe, though, had me at "roasted vegetables" -- before I even got to the three kinds of cheese and puff pastry.
Five things I learned:
1. After years of using -- and loving -- puff pastry, it finally occurred to me that it's kind of like phyllo dough. So what's the difference? Can you use either one? Why have I not asked these questions?
Well, it appears you can sometimes substitute one for the other, but you'll get different results. While they are both flaky doughs made with flour and cold fat, they're produced in different ways.
Puff pastry is a made with dough that's wrapped around cold butter and then undergoes a complicated process of folding, rolling and turning. It ends up as hundreds of layers of dough, each coated in cold butter. When you cook it, the butter gives off steam that makes the dough puff up, nearly eight times as high as when it's raw.
Phyllo dough is sold in single sheets so thin they're translucent. They call for a gentle touch. Recipes with phyllo, such as those for baklava, frequently call for making a crust of several layers of phyllo separated by melted butter. The finished product will come out more flat and crispy than puff pastry, though that's not necessarily a bad thing.
2. Where does pie crust fit into all this? In March, I wrote about making an Asparagus Tart. The original recipe called for puff pastry, which I thought I had in the house, but didn't, so I made a pie crust instead.
It tasted good, but pie dough is just one layer of cold fat and flour. A good pie crust, while flaky, comes out considerably more dense -- think sliceable -- than puff pastry.
3. Puff pastry isn't just fun to say, it can be a lot of fun to cook with. All you have to do is unfold it, pierce it and bake it. It's hard to think of anything, sweet or savory, that wouldn't taste good on it.
It comes frozen, two half-pound sheets to a box, each folded in thirds. For this, you need it to be thawed enough to roll, but still cold so it doesn't get mushy. I'd put the box in the refrigerator overnight.
I didn't think of that and had to warm mine in the microwave for about 20 seconds on 30 percent power to thaw it a bit more. While you're working on one of them, keep the second one covered and refrigerated.
4. When you pre-bake puff pastry, you have to pierce it with a fork to keep it from puffing up too much. When you take it out, you'll still have to press it down gently with the back of an offset spatula so you can spread the cheese mixture and put the vegetables on it without their rolling off.
5. The recipe said to roll out the pastry on a floured surface and then transfer it to parchment paper. I just rolled it out on the parchment paper. I sprayed the counter with cooking spray and patted the parchment down so that it wouldn't slip while I was rolling.

6 Images of Kids Too Insane to Be Real (That Totally Are)
#3. The Zipline Kids
This is Daisy Mora, an 11 year-old girl, pulling some commando crap so crazy that you'd call bullshit on it in a video game. There's a YouTube video of her taking this zipline, and despite what one would reasonably assume, it does not show the girl desperately screaming for her mommy while her callous and irresponsible uncle laughs from the launch platform. She not only ziplines by choice, but has done so on this ramshackle, ancient setup - situated over 1200 feet in the air - twice a day, every day, for her entire life.
In fact, her whole village has to take this dilapidated, rusting cable, precariously strung roughly the height of the empire state building above the valley floor, because it's simply the only way to get around. There are no roads or bridges to their village, and not enough people live there to warrant further construction. So to get to school, Daisy straps on her self-built hook and harness, grabs the bit of stick that is her only brake in one hand and her travel sack in the other, then hurtles down a rattling steel cable at highway speeds across certain death.
Oh, and that travel sack? It's not school supplies or lunch or any such nonsense; it's her 7 year old sister, who's too small to take the zip line herself, so just rides over the abyss in a god damn bag.
#2. The 'Lil Arsonists
This image is referred to as 'Disaster Girl' in the dark, musty corners of the internet where people communicate entirely in retarded strains of hieroglyphics that consist solely of recirculated pictures and hasty, tangential photoshops. The Disaster Girl meme, in the few short years it's been around, has already been driven into the ground like the fucking Technodrome. But despite what some articles say, the original image itself was not photoshopped. It's completely real: Her name is Zoe Roth, and the picture was taken by her father Dave back in 2008, when the Mebane Fire Department burned down a home on their block for training purposes.
Some of the kids laughed and played at fireman, some were even allowed to hold hoses, while some simply listened to lectures. But some children were not content with games. Some children did not respond to logic, or reason. Some children did not want to play, learn, or listen.
Some children? Some children just wanted to watch the world burn.
Zoe was one of them, but she was far from alone...
#1. Riot Kid
The Riot Kid photo has become an icon for resistance despite overwhelming odds. It's easy to see why: This is a pure visual representation of the most powerful thing in the world - that unique slurry of bravery, fury and complete lack of self-preservation that can topple governments and tear down entire societies. The riot kid is simultaneously inspiring, funny, and awesome, and if you don't want to whip a bottle into a corrupt wall of faceless facist automatons after seeing this, then congratulations on finding this website through the ReThink filter, worker #264XJ6, but authorities have been alerted and are on their way. Please remain calm and fill out form 27b stroke 6 while you await their arrival, to best facilitate your transition to the Purification Factories.
For the rest of us, Riot Kid is emblematic of every wandering fuck not given. He's scrawny, alone, half the size of his enemies, and he just does not seem to care. Those cops are going to get their god damn heads bashed open, and that is just a fact; the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and some motherfuckers are going to get their mullet-helmets caved in today.
Once again, this kind of photo doesn't seem to need context, but context still changes everything. The picture originally comes from photographer Evandro Monteiro, and was taken during a police action in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And while we look at an image like this and recognize what it inspires in us all, we still kind of assume the kid was just joking around. The boy probably didn't know what he was doing at the time; he was just making funny faces at the cops until his panicked mother could sprint in and sweep him away. But then here's another image of the riot kid from Monteiro's portfolio that implies otherwise:
So not only was he actually standing out in that street, alone, hurling rocks at the police (which is way more impetus than they need in Sao Paulo to beat some ghetto kid to death,) but he was so overcome with rage afterward that he stripped to the waist, slammed his jacket to the dirt, puffed out his chest and dared them to make a move. This was not a joke, or a childish prank. This was life or death.
The photographer has this child tagged as a 'street boy.' That's not a generic descriptor. In Sao Paulo 'street child' refers to a specific type of young homeless in the city. There are thousands, if not millions of them in Brazil, and they're largely considered pests. Roughly 20% of police homicides in Sao Paulo are minors. In fact, the street children are so reviled that in some places, local shopkeepers and low-level politicians actually put out bounties on their heads to the tune of about $50 per kid. As a result, masked death squads rove the streets of Brazil at night, eliminating children.
And while that knowledge is incredibly awful, and gut-churning, and heart-dropping, and just makes you want to burn this whole miserable species to the ground and hope that nature knows enough to start from scratch this time, it also drastically magnifies the importance of this image.
This is not the same as a white, English-speaking child playing at revolutionary because he's got the implied protection of society. This boy is not joking, and he is not safe. If he's really a 'street child,' then those cops he's challenging are the men that might make half a week's pay for murdering him, and would face little to no reprisal for it. And if he really is a 'street child,' then he is utterly alone up there: It's unlikely any of the other people in those photos have a vested interest in whether he lives or dies.
And he simply does.
Because there is nothing on this earth - not overwhelming odds, nor brutal police states, nor fear, nor violence, nor the kind of horrible, devouring apathy that makes things like death squads for children possible - that will ever, from now until the heat death of this whole screwed universe, force this kid to sit down and put his fucking shirt back on.
If you were going to spend any time looking for places to follow Robert or buying his stupid book, please instead spend that time visiting and possibly donating to a fund for street children, like Action for Brazil's Children.

Plans to move the Williamsville toll barrier have been delayed so long that of $6.1 million in federal Highway Trust Funds guaranteed toward the project in 1998, about $5.3 million has already been spent repeatedly "studying" the matter.
Amherst Council Member Richard "Jay" Anderson discussed the figure after receiving about 600 pages of documents released last month by the New York State Thruway Authority and the Department of Transportation.
"There's been so much public input, they've had to study this over eight years," Anderson said. "In 2000, construction was supposed to have been started within 30 months."
In August, Anderson picked up the toll barrier issue once championed by his father, former Assemblyman Richard R. Anderson, who had led the Williamsville Toll Barrier Relocation Task Force. Jay Anderson received unanimous board approval to have the town attorney send state agencies a Freedom of Information Law request to find out what happened to $6.1 million in federally earmarked funds for the toll barrier relocation project.
It now appears that much of that money has been spent on various engineering studies over the years, especially as organized opponents in the second- and third-tier suburbs have objected to three alternate locations recommended by the Thruway Authority, he said.
Anderson blamed the failure to move ahead with the project over the years on "a lack of leadership."
A generation of politicians has come and gone during the time Amherst residents have pushed for the Williamsville toll barrier to be moved farther east. A relocation would likely result in the removal of both the existing Williamsville and Depew toll stations.
The issue has been tossed around since the mid-1970s, and it picked up steam in the late 1980s and again in the late 1990s after Congress approved millions in transportation aid for the project. By then, a project that was once supposed to cost $10 million had swelled to $39 million, but the Thruway Authority said federal money would cover $26 million.
A Buffalo News story from 1999 said $6.1 million would come from Highway Trust Fund proceeds and that, according to then-Assemblyman James P. Hayes, another $20 million would come from federal funds, but that money was not guaranteed and would "take some pushing" from the region's congressional delegation.
"Jim Hayes' characterization of it was wrong," Anderson responded, referring to the original 1998 federal legislation, called the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, or TEA-21.
According to the Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council, $36.5 million remains earmarked for the toll barrier project in Thruway Authority and federal TEA-21 funds. Anderson said only $5.3 million of that amount has been spent.
"All you need is some leadership if you already have half the funding in place," Anderson said.
The last time the Williamsville toll barrier project received a lot of media coverage was in 2006 when the Thruway Authority announced that the project, which in the 1980s was estimated to cost $10 million, would now be completed by 2010 at a cost of nearly $80 million.
"We know people have been waiting a long time for this to come to fruition," said the authority's executive director six years ago.
The wait continues, even though a Thruway Authority study from late 2005 showed that moving the toll barriers farther east would have a positive economic impact on businesses along Main Street and Transit Road, which are currently hurt by cut-through Thruway traffic congestion. The move would also reduce travel time, local roadway maintenance costs, accidents and fatalities, the study showed.
Though both Town of Amherst and Village of Williamsville officials have made comments in recent months about resurrecting the campaign to have the toll barriers moved, the optimism of past years has clearly waned, despite what local politicians describe as a serious and ongoing need.
"The toll barrier backs up to some of our residents' backyards," said Williamsville Mayor Brian Kulpa. "We have standing, idling engines pumping noxious chemicals into backyards; the engines are obnoxiously loud. We have forever dealt with traffic and congestion on Main Street, but this would go specifically toward decreasing commercial and commuter volume."
In 2008, the Thruway Authority stated that it was removing the Williamsville toll barrier project from its $2.1 billion construction program, as well as its promised highway-speed toll collection system for EZ Pass holders at a new barrier 11 miles to the east.
"The Thruway Authority hasn't given me reason to be optimistic that [the barrier] will be moved," Kulpa said. "It would take an entity or person in the state to say, 'This is a priority for me. This is a priority for Western New York. We're going to do it.' "
There is still money left in the budget to do more studies, though. The Thruway Authority has stated that it still has $768,000 in federal funds earmarked in the current capital construction budget so that the ongoing study of the project's economic impact can be completed.

Elkins remained undefeated in Big 10 Conference soccer play with a 2-0 win over Fairmont Senior Tuesday night at EHS.
The EHS girls, meanwhile, suffered a 4-1 setback.
In the boys' game, Chris Bodkin and Trey Westerfeld scored the goals for Elkins, which improved to 6-4 overall and 4-0 in league games. The Tigers outshot Fairmont 7-2 and held a 2-0 advantage in corner kicks. Goalie Tyler Gray had two saves for Elkins while David Childers had four stops in the goal for Fairmont Senior (4-3, 2-2).

Elkins' Megan Morral battles a Fairmont Senior player for possession during Big 10 Conference soccer play Tuesday night at EHS. The Tigers lost the match, 4-1.
"The first half was very even but we found an energy at halftime that allowed us to get the win," Elkins coach Andy Montgomery said. "It was great to see that hunger and a great team effort."
Montgomery attributed much of the team's success to defensive play.
"Our defense has been strong all year," Montgomery said. "The five in the defensive unit, Gray in goal, (Dalton) Bobes and (Adam) Haddix in the center and (Alex) Edwards and (Aaron) Lee on the wings have been so consistent and they hardly ever leave the field. We trust them and rely on them. Once again, in this game, they played well and disrupted what Fairmont tried to do. It's very comforting to have them in the back."
In the girls' matchup, four goals scored in the first half were too much for the Tigers to overcome against the Polar Bears.
Fairmont Senior opened the scoring when Avery Towns netted a penalty kick early in the game. The Polar Bears grabbed another quick score when Ivey Nucilli found the net.
Elkins fired back when sophomore Hailea Harper scored the Tigers' only goal, making the score 2-1. However, the Polar Bear offense was too much as Gabby Mascaro and Tressa Bonasso added scores before halftime. The second half was a deadlock on defense, as neither team could find the goal.
"I don't the score indicates the way we played," EHS coach Scott Cutright said. "We kept possession most of the game, it was just a few technical things that we have to fix. A few breakdowns gave them some opportunities and they finished those opportunities with scores. They are a good team and we played well against them."
The next contest for both Elkins teams is set for Thursday at East Fairmont. The girls' game is scheduled for 6 p.m., followed by the boys at 8 p.m.

This is the best little apartment. It's very well appointed, directly across the street from a grocery store and very close to the local train. Lots of green space for walks and close to restaurants as well. All these features are excellent but they pale in comparison to Bernd the property owner. This guys is fantastic! We have a dog and he went out of his way not only to make us comfortable (stocking some apples and beverages in the refrigerator) but also to make Bodhi feel welcome with a little stock of dog treats for our furry friend. Stay here and you won't be sorry!
Kann mich den Vorschreibern nur anschließen. Ruhige Lage, sehr fein für warme Sommerabende am Balkon oder ein enstpanntes Frühstück bei dem man genüsslich seinen Kaffee trinkt und die Katzen in der Anlage beobachten kann, die sich von einem frechen Eichhörnchen necken lassen. Kaum Autos zu hören hier und auch sonst eine friedliche Umgebung.
Das Geschäft gegenüber hat alles was man braucht und die Wohnung selbst ist sehr gepflegt. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und groß genug um darin so richtig zu kochen. Sogar ein waschen ist kein Problem.
Wenn man nach einem langen durchlaufenen Touristentag oder Messetag am Abend zurückkommt, kann man sich gemütlich in dem offenen und geräumigen Wohnzimmer auf dem Sofa ausstrecken und sich eine Dvd ansehen oder in einem der vielen tollen Bücher schmökern.
Bernd ist ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber und die Abwicklung war ausgesprochen einfach und er war pünktlich zur Stelle um uns alles zu erklären und auch telefonisch sofort erreichbar für weitere Fragen.
Alles in allem wars einfach toll :) echt empfehlenswert!

Earlier this year the Student Government Association at the College of Charleston began a debate as to whether the campus should be tobacco free.
The 52-acre campus is so uniquely integrated within the City of Charleston that I sometimes don't know where the campus ends and the city begins — and I'm enrolled here.
A resolution banning the use of all tobacco products on campus was presented to the Student Senate, and what ensued was the liveliest debate of the year. A record number of students showed up to that meeting to voice their opinions, with the overwhelming majority opposed to the ban. Despite their objections the tobacco ban passed by a 14-8 margin.
The Faculty Senate, after a debate in which many of the issues raised by the faculty were the same as those raised by the students, rejected the resolution by a 15-14 vote.
Now the ultimate decision to pass and enforce the resolution is before the Board of Trustees. I hope that the board will continue this debate with a real discussion and not just a thoughtless vote based on, "Smoking is bad, no one should."
There are three points I believe they need to keep in mind:
First, the College of Charleston is a one-of-a-kind institution that requires one-of-a-kind solutions. While it is true that other schools in the state have enacted tobacco bans, the argument that "everyone else is doing it" should never be enough to do anything.
This is something that most children are taught by their parents before they are 5: "If all your friends jumped off a cliff ..." You know the rest.
The result of this debate should not be seen as a chance to follow, but as an opportunity to lead, to set an example, and to show that a college campus can be a courteous and considerate place without the threat of punishment.
Second, the College already has a tobacco policy in place. In 2006, a sensible policy requiring smokers to smoke in one of the campus' 24 designated smoking areas was enacted. These areas are labeled (some better than others) and equipped with ashtrays. While most students are unaware of these areas, with better promotion they would see more use.
The Board of Trustees should not make the mistake that so many governing bodies do — compounding the problem by layering on another level of regulation to regulate the original regulation.
I know everyone wants to receive a pat on the back (trustees included), but when the desire to just "get something done" becomes more important than the conversation about what is being done, the brakes need to be pumped.
Third, there is the issue of enforcement — or lack thereof. Under the new policy visitors and contractors must abide by the regulation, just as students do. Are students going to be walking up to construction workers who are enjoying a cigarette on their lunch break and say, "Hey, you can't do that"?
Or if John Doe visiting from Idaho decides to take some pictures of our beautiful campus, are we going to write him a ticket because he is chewing tobacco?
I hope not. Southern hospitality is not conditional.
On the night the resolution failed in the Faculty Senate, a member of that body stood up and stated, "I did not take this job to be a policeman."
Well said, and I did not enroll here to be a policeman either.
In the end, we are talking about a policy that is unrealistic, redundant and truly unenforceable. So as the Board of Trustees meets to discuss the policies and initiatives that create our culture on campus I hope they resist the pressure to just follow trends and instead work to find creative solutions for the College of Charleston's unique place in the world.
Let me conclude by saying that I'm not a smoker. I have seen the negative effects it has on people's health and I choose not to participate. I also know that when you live in a free society, sometimes people do things you do not agree with, and that's awesome, because that means sometimes I can do and say things that not everyone agrees with.
So I'm not sticking up for my people, I'm just sticking up for people.

I would like to see the medical professionals start policing themselves because cops can't tell doctors what, and how much, to prescribe. There is a huge epidemic right now involving people hooked on prescription meds. When there is no more refills, the addict goes to the street and buys them illegally at astronomical prices. When the addict realizes ******e is much cheaper and provides the same fix they start shooting up instead. Nobody sticks a needle in their arm just because they wanted to try it. Its an act of desperation.

The North Carolina-raised model, 22, is celebrating her first-ever time as the cover girl on the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue – a spot she landed after five years of posing for the magazine.
"It's shocking and a dream come true!" Decker told PEOPLE shortly after learning that her photo would grace this year's cover.
Another first? Doing a round of talk show interviews to promote her prestigious job. "I've never been on one! I'm kind of freaking out," she said before appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman Monday. "I've done news shows, but I've never done a big talk show."
Andy Roddick to Enjoy the EnvySo how did her family react when they saw the photos of her clad in a yellow Delfina bikini? "My mom cried," says Decker. The photos were shot in the Maldives by award-winning sports photographer Walter Iooss and inspired by '80s and '90s SI covers featuring Elle Macpherson and Rachel Hunter.
"We're all on pins and needles before the issue comes out, because the cover is something all the girls want so badly," says Decker. "So it's nice for my family because they don't have to stress about it anymore."
After the flurry of parties and media appearances – including spots on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Ellen DeGeneres Show – Decker will take time for another very important first: Her one-year wedding anniversary in April with tennis champ Andy Roddick, whom she says is 100-percent supportive of her latest accomplishment.
Asked if Roddick is even a little jealous that the men of America will soon be ogling his wife, Decker says: "No. He's so proud. I think this gives him a one-up in the locker room for the next year or so."

Hear from Georgia beef producer Gerald Long from his interview with Southeast Ag Net about "Beef Industry Improves Its Sustainability".
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Nice but the pump is junk
By Lots of huskies
from Oklahoma city, Ok
The problem is not with the pump exactly but with the cheap electrical connection. I have not had one last over a year before shorting out. Unfortunately even though the pump is still working the wiring is built-in and to replace it it's all one piece.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Unique and Useful
By BlogPawsCarol
from Northeastern PA
Our neighbor's dog loves to drink from a hose and is not the world's best water drinker at home. So I suggested a drinking fountain like this to her. The stainless steel aspect is what sold me on it, and her dog loves it. It is a great product that looks nice in her kitchen (which has stainless steel appliances) - most of all her dog is fascinated from the water movement. A dog needs to drink water, of course, and this is a great idea. TY!

Beautiful, easy to clean fountain, but..
By Mia
from New York, NY
This is a beautiful and easy to clean fountain. I've had it for a year and it's still operating perfectly. I love it, but sadly, my 6 year old cat who had a Drinkwell since he was only a few weeks old, rarely uses it. It's obvious to me that he prefers the stream that the old Drinkwell provided (I threw it out). He's interested in the stream that emanates from my kitchen faucet and any beverage that is being poured. clearly, he wants the stream, so sadly, I guess I'll have to buy another Drinkwell. It's a hassle to clean, and I don't like the fact that its made out of plastic. I wish they'd make it in stainless steel :(

great concept, poorly designed
By Ginger
from Leesville, SC
The fountain sides are not deep enough to prevent splashing. You have to keep a towel around the bowl to collect splashing from the fountain.
By Carol
from Philadelphia, PA
I use it for three cats. It is so easy to clean and to "take apart". I used to have a Drinkwell fountian with the resevoir; it was plastic and really hard to keep clean. Ceramic is much better.
Get a second pump when you order
By Marty
from Salt Lake City, UT
The pump went out fairly soon after our's arrived. It's been difficult to find a replacement and you can't just order the pump on the website. So all I have right now is large, expensive black water bowl that does not recirculate. Bummer.

Love this drinking fountain!
By Zookeeper Margaret
from Denison, TX
This fountain encourages cats to drink. Most cats like running water. Other plastic fountains do this job but don't clean as well, nor look as good. A little pricey, but worth it.
(7 of 8 customers found this review helpful)
By Patricia
from Granite Bay
We have certain kitties who are often soaking wet because they splash around in the toilet and join us in the shower. Weird cats! The trickling water interests them in this bowl so the kitties stay out of the shower and the toilet. Yea!!!!! It did take a few days to accomplish this since they were all afraid of this big black thing on the counter. One other thing, if you have dogs, the kitties do not have to compete for the water bowl if you put it on the counter. Looks like a tabletop "water feature."

The British singer, 63, who famously performed at the 1997 funeral of William's mother, Princess Diana, and at her memorial concert a decade later, was asked about the wedding on BBC Radio.
He replied that he'll "probably" perform – but quickly quipped, "I'll probably be outside busking."
Next Wednesday, Dec. 1, for World AIDS Day, John will be guest-editing the British newspaper the Independent, but he told BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright not to expect too much royal-wedding coverage. "I think we've had enough of that for the time being," he said.
Meanwhile, William and Kate were at the Buckingham Palace together on Thursday holding meetings with their aids. Palace officials say invitations have yet to go out for the April 29 wedding, and they won't comment on possible big names on the guest list.
"It is all speculation," a palace spokeswoman tells PEOPLE. "Nothing has been determined. We are still in discussions. They are only now sitting down and starting to think about things."
The guest list is likely to include ordinary people from charities associated with the couple and members of the armed forces.
A report in the Daily Mail suggests that Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, will have a key role at the wedding, perhaps even making a speech, but the palace rep would not confirm that.

SALEM - A building owner who started an effort to revitalize the downtown is urging anyone with questions, concerns or comments regarding the Salem Technical Advisory Committee to attend a meeting at 6 p.m. today at the Salem Golf Club.
"We're real interested in public comment," Salem resident Scott Cahill said.
The committee formed in October, with four sub-committees created to work on different aspects of what's needed to get the downtown "fully occupied and vibrant." The sub-committees include: Fiscal, Standards, Proportion and Structure Evaluation.
Plans call for the findings of the four sub-committees to be presented during the meeting and for the TAC to receive comment regarding the findings or the downtown revitalization effort. The meeting will also look to the future, including the work of the Implementation Committee which will put everything into one "actionable" plan to present to Salem City Council, possibly on Feb. 19.
Cahill said this meeting tonight will also be the last meeting where people can sign up to join a sub-committee to help with the work. He said about 50 people are involved. but he would like to see more people come and give their opinions or ideas now rather than later after the TAC process is finished. He said he would much rather have them ask questions now and share their ideas.
Another meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Jan. 31 at the Salem Golf Club to give people another opportunity to give their input. He said all issues raised will be researched and responded to in writing to the person who raised the issue.
Cahill said a lot of changes have taken place to the initial proposal he introduced before the TAC started meeting.
"A lot has been done to alleviate the various concerns that have come up," he said, adding the plans are "more palatable for building owners" than they were before.
Instead of having private investors put up the money for renovations, they may consider securing bonds through the city for a non-profit entity acting as developer. He said they're also looking at minimizing the requirements for meeting minimum building standards. He explained that all they care is that the buildings are brought up to a standard so they can be fully occupied and safe.
"I want to see downtown full of people," Cahill said.
According to a brief overview provided by Cahill of the committee work :
"The Standards Sub-Committee has found ways to reduce the cost of work required to bring downtown buildings up to safe standards to a fraction of the previous methods. They have done all of this while maintaining a safe environment in the proposed redeveloped downtown."
The Fiscal Committee " has completely changed the originally-proposed developer to be a non-profit entity. They have found fair ways to assure each downtown building owner that they will be treated equally and fairly and that none will ever profit by the loss of another. The entire development of our downtown will result in a revenue positive evolution over time."
The Proportion Committee has "found better ways to structure the physical downtown as it is developed so that we will not lose the character of our city. They have laid out better traffic patterns and have supported needed parking and greenery without the loss of buildings that we had originally anticipated."
The Building Evaluation Committee has "developed a fair and proper mathematical formulae to define the value of buildings in our downtown to assure us all that no significant building will be lost to the redevelopment effort."
"I beg anyone who truly cares about the future of our downtown to please attend our meeting and to voice your support, opposition, and concerns," Cahill noted.
All comments will be incorporated into the plan and given equal consideration and weight.
