classic line from Mortal Kombat.
Finish Him!!!!

Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
A line from Mortal Kombat when you want to rub in your victory and make your friend whine about losing. Usually followed by a fatality, babality, friendship, animality, or if you have the x-rated version, the bestiality.

Finishing someone off when you have gained the upper hand in a mutual struggle, preferably by killing them or delivering a final blow.
Finish him!... do it now while he's weak!!!
by Richard Ornsworth June 24, 2011
Chilling command uttered by Sensei John Kreese in the film 'The Karate Kid' just before Daniel LaRusso crane kicks his boy right in the mug, thus winning the love of Elizabeth Shue.
John Kreese ignored Daniel setting up for the crane kick and commanded Johnny to finish him.

Annoying video game cliche, thanks to mortal combat, usually said when the opponent is already obviously dead/dying and the sick fuck with the controller wants to see an extra gruseome death in 8 bit graphics.

Awesome pair of winter shoes
By Sambo66

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Lake MXZ 303 Winter Cycling Shoes:
This is my second pair. I've had my first pair since 2004 and they are still going strong, but my feet changed and i needed to go to the wide shoe, and the new Boa enclosure is nice. I use these all winter on my road rides and mtn bike rides. Just a thick pair of socks and i'm good for a few hours on the bike. Great investment since they will last for many winters to come. No fussing with covers or multiple layers of socks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lake = Quality
By Crestone
from Michigan
These boots will keep you warm, I use a light pair of wools socks and have been good to for 3 hours at 12 degrees. Size 45 regular was a good fit for my normal 10.5 shoe size. took one star off for the boa lace system does not like to loosen at times and seems flimsly. Otherwise and excellent shoe.
WOW now my feet stay warm
By ER the soloist cyclist
from Lebanon, CT
My feet get cold and for years below 30F I would have to change my clipless pedals to flats and use my hiking boots on cross and mountain bike rides. In the last few days I tested the Lakes down to 20 and 30F, feet stayed toasty warm with two socks on. I ordered a size up per recommendations on this site and others but had to return them for my true size, so if you have normal feet then the size isn't an issue. Still had plenty of room to wiggle my toes with 2 pair of wool socks on.

Wrap your feet in big, warm angel butts
By The Grustlerrr
from Philadelphia, PA
Maybe it's mercury poisoning from all the canned tuna fish I had to eat saving up to buy these beauties, but the moment I put them on I literally felt my feet had been wrapped in supple, bulletproof rainbows. I was a bit skeptical at first of whether these would truly be worth the money, and I even felt a subtle twinge of buyer's remorse after clicking 'buy', but the boots are definitely worth it. First, I've been wearing them for commuting on my Surly Crosscheck in Philadelphia, and have used them a bit in snow on a fat tire in temperatures ranging from 12 degrees F (windchill was much colder) up to about 42 degrees F. Even riding on the coldest, gustiest days yet my feet have felt completely comfortable. On the warmest day, I could have used my summer biking shoes but wanted to test these instead, and I didn't overheat. That being said, these are not warm weather boots. Second, they are supremely easy to clip in with. I use Time Atac MTB pedals on EVERYTHING and these boots are intuitive when it comes to clipping in. No problems there whatsoever. Third, walking around in these is intensely pleasurable. Honestly one of the most comfortable boots to walk in that I own, and my other pair is a 15 year old pair of Danner's. These are legit. Very easy to transition from outdoor to indoor, and arent slick at all on wet tile, hardwood, etc. Fourth, people WILL compliment you. The MXZ303's are so super sharp looking, I got 4 compliments on them my first day at work. Some of the best looking boots I've seen. Period. Fifth, they are secure on your foot, but also easy to slip on and off before/after commuting due to their finger loop on the back and easy mechanism of ratcheting on/off. The neoprene upper wraps around socks, scrubs, or whatever and makes a darn good seal. I wear them under rain pants if it's a downpour and haven't had wet feet yet. As for sizing, I heard they run small so whereas I normally wear a 45, I ordered these in a 46 and they fit perfectly with my Smartwool socks. Snug, but just right.IMPRESSION: A must have for deep winter cycling. Toasty, beautiful, comfortable, strong and easy.
Great Purchase
By Mountain Bike Mike
from WI
I live in Wisconsin and these have kept My feet warm down into the low 20s so far and only with a pair of thin insulator socks. It's been a pretty warm winter so I'll have to wait for comment I colder weather. Recent beach use on Lake Michigan, where the waves were pounding the beach, yes my feet were soaked but still warm.Also had a very muddy off road ride that involved off the bike up extreme hills. These shoes provided excellent traction when the dreaded unclip was necessary.
Extended season!
By Endor_Finn
from Rudyard MI
I got these boots for snow biking, no more cold toes! I ordered one size up to accommodate thick socks/ two pair of socks. Comfy and warm. Boa laces are easy to work with gloves on.
Great for Snow Biking
By jahnno
from Rothschild, WI
Lake is a winner. Great boot at a decent price. It's not bulky like 45N and others Keeps me warm with a good pair of wool socks, maybe 2 pairs closer to zero. Only improvement would be a pullout liner.
Lake MXZ303 Winter Cycling Shoe
By bikeboy
from Wasilla ak.
Last pair i had lasted 10 years, still in good shape just time to replace. have not used yet live in Alaska waiting for winter, {fit good, last pair i had very warm can get -30 to -40} here reason i replace with same brand. buy this shoe you can't go wrong take my word on this best winter shoe around!
Nice shoe
By AR
from Alaska
I received mixed reviews about how to size this shoe. Typically wear 44.5-45.5 and generally on the small end for cycling shoes and Nordic ski boots but on the larger end for running shoes. Ended up going with a 46 which fit perfectly. It is roomy enough for 2 socks but I was not swimming. I even did some hike a bike without excessive foot movement. I've used this boot at 25 below F. One that occasion I wore a thin liner sock, a thin vapor barrier and a regular wool sock with neoprene outer booties. One foot was cold but the other was OK. In the 0-10 below F range I wore the same socks without the booties and had warm feet.

Warm, but not waterproof
By George
from Alexandria, VA
Bought these for winter commuting in the Washington DC area. I've been wearing them for a couple of months. Definitely keep your feet warm in cold weather down into the teens. But used them through two winter rainstorms. After five miles, my feet were soaked. Didn't expect that from shoes this expensive.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

ROYALTON – A Lockport man walked away uninjured following a rollover crash on Riddle Road early this morning but faced a number of charges after Niagara County sheriff's deputies determined he had been driving drunk.
Nicholas J. Buscarino, 34, of Chestnut Ridge Road, was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired, moving from a lane unsafely and speeding around 2 a.m. in the 7000 block of Riddle Road.
Officers responded to a rollover crash and found Buscarino walking away from the vehicle. Buscarino told deputies he was uninjured and was evaluated at the scene by emergency medical technicians as a precaution.
Buscarino told police he had been drinking at a bar on Goodrich Road. He said as he rounded the sharp bend on Riddle Road he realized he was going too fast and then lost control of his truck and crashed into the ditch, rolling the truck onto its roof.
Buscarino was found with a blood alcohol of .12 percent, which is above the legal limit of .08 percent and was charged and held on $250 bail.

A man who climbed through a rear window at a Wendy's restaurant in Buffalo and forced three employees to open a company safe is being sought by Buffalo police.
Police said the man entered the restaurant, at 3362 Main St., shortly after midnight Saturday and forced the three employees into an office while threatening to kill them if they tried anything. Police did not indicate if the man was armed.
The man fled with about $1,500 from the safe.
Police are hoping a security camera at the restaurant will help them identify the robber.

People call Alaska's largest island the Emerald Isle for its lush glacier-carved beauty. Russian whalers and fur traders established the first non-native settlement in Alaska on this island in 1784. It became Alaska's largest fishing port, with abundant catches of king crab and salmon. Kodiak Island also belongs to the Kodiak bear - the largest brown bears in the world. They have lived isolated here for 10,000 years, since the last Ice Age, and are found nowhere else.
Experienced guides can take you into the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, home to 3,500 bears - some exceed 1,500 pounds and stand 10 feet tall. On other parts of the island, discover hiking trails that wind through forests of Sitka spruce. Bicycle the 3.5 mile paved path from downtown to Fort Abercrombie State Park. Kayak in sheltered bays as sea otters swim by.
The Alutiiq Museum tells the story of 7,500 years of Kodiak's cultural history. The Baranov Museum holds tales of the Russian colonial period. Fuel up at Java Flats with a lunch of delicious sandwiches and fresh cookies. Watch the sun rise in Kodiak as you enjoy hot chocolate and the beautiful view at Harborside Coffee.

Most students will want to purchase a cell phone when they arrive in the United State to use for communication while abroad. Unlike in the most countries, both people who receive and make the call are generally charged for the call.
It is possible in many cases to purchase an international SIM card so your cell phone will work in the U.S. Contact your cell phone carrier for more information. This is likely to be very expensive.
Placing an international phone call involves a few more digits than an average call. When calling from the U.S. on campus. you must first dial the code to get out of campus extension by dialing 97, then you must dial the appropriate toll free number, and follow the instruction provided.
In recent years VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) has taken off as a great, cheap way to keep in touch. There are a number of companies which provide this service, the best-known of which is Skype. You and your family members can download this free software on your computers and make calls for free or at a very affordable rate. You will need to purchase a headset compatible with the computer to use VoIP.

Binary friend and blog contributor She Said Disco shares some tunes that he has been feeling.Direct from Sunny France. Get involved.
Au Revoir Summer, here is a nice tribute to you. I'm not sure if it's because of this bouncy bass or because of those Aaliyah vocals but this one is 100% danceable. You should keep an eye on the label behind this one, Miraje, I bet they have tons of sunny secret weapons like this to unleash.
You want a good OST for your holidays? Mr Sloslylove just dropped his latest album: The Haunted. Check this out, honestly it's a real gem, a peacefull journey through nostalgia, like if you were the hero of a 80's road movie, not a super-hero, a real-life hero.
Sellorekt – Fearless Generation
I am sad I discovered Sellorekt quite late, I feel like if I have missed something. This track was the first I heard from him, and I was mind-blown. If you are fond of synthstuffs like me, you should check his latest LP: A Perfect World. Definitely better than a time machine!
This new track from Les Loups with great singer Cybil is very good, again a perfect song to enjoy the sun and dance with girls on the beach. I like the production style and craftsmanship, less sample-based, more instrumental, but still disco and effective. I'm curious to see what they are preparing to us in the future.
All time favorite Mitch Murder released his debut album Interceptor. It's not really summer-ish, it's more cheesy and nostalgic! In the best way. Makes me wanna play some shitty TV shows, or go to the gym and eat steroids, or dance with rollerblades under the sun, or play freesbee with some cool dudes, giving many high-fives as the sun sets in an exaggerated California sunset.

UTICA, N.Y. -- The national tour of the Tony-nominated musical "American Idiot" is set to open in Utica this week and is expected to leave close to a million dollars behind.
That's because it chose the city as the site for its tech show, where the cast and crew meet to put together the complete show for the first time.
It's the second tech show to come to the area this season, following "Young Frankenstein."
Performers and crew members are in the area for 12 days perfecting the musical, which tells the story of three friends who move to the big city to pursue their dreams, all set to Green Day music.
"It's a very precise show, actually. In all the chaos that it seems like, it's very precise so that nobody actually gets hurt," said Van Hughes, who plays "Johnny" in the show.
"Yeah, it's really nice to do it over and over again because you're constantly, at least definitely for me, having never done the show, you're constantly discovering so many things," said Gabrielle McClinton, the actress who portrays "Whatsername."
Tickets are still available for this Wednesday and Thursday's shows at the Stanley.

Miranda Lambert made an entrance at the CMA Awards Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn., when she showed off her slim silhouette.
The 29-year-old country singer looked striking in a dress that amply highlighted her new figure: a curve-hugging cobalt gown with plunging décolletage and cinched waist.
Completing the look? Her best accessory of the evening: dashing husband Blake Shelton, who clutched his missus as she beamed for the cameras.
Lambert has been giving fans ample chances to ogle her new look. The night before, she stepped out at the BMI Country Awards – also in Nashville – where she wowed in a chic little black dress.
After taking home the award for female vocalist of the year toward the end of the night, Lambert entered the press room.
"I've been working out, but this thing is heavy!" she said of her new award.
And as for her new figure? She attributes it all to her desire to age gracefully.
"I just feel like I needed to get ahead of the game – I'm going to be 30 on Sunday and people say, are you OK about turning 30 and I guess I am, but I guess I'm not because I feel like everybody always says 'It goes downhill from there.' So I just thought, maybe if I get ahead of it a little I won't have to work so hard later in life," she explained.
"All through my 20s I worked a lot – I was on the road since I was 17 and the road life is a lot of fast food and a lot of late nights and a lot of drinking – I didn't give up drinking. I refused. You have to drink to put up with my husband! Just kidding! But I just felt that I should get a little more healthy and I have a record coming out in the spring and it's a very important album to me – it's my fifth album – and I have this spot, I found a great spot in country music and I want to keep it," she added.
She continued, "I want people to know that I care – that I found my niche and I care about it in all aspects, musically and my songs that I write and what I talk about and I want to look the part too. So just finding a new spot in my life and working hard. I didn't give up really a lot really. Just Cheetos mostly! But I might have some tonight, just to celebrate."

DELAND, Fla. – Aided by five victories in singles play, the Stetson University men's tennis defeated Kennesaw State 5-2, Sunday for its second straight win.
After dropping two of three doubles matches, the Hatters (8-8, 2-3), reeled off three singles victories in a row for a quick 3-1 lead. An Owl win on court No. 2 made it 3-2, but a Nathan Debut decision (4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2) on court No. 1 clinched the win for Stetson; it's second in three days against an A-Sun opponent.
The Hatters saw triumphs from Cahit Kapukiran (6-2, 6-1) on court No. 4 as well as Graham Ball (6-3, 6-2) on No. 5 and Chester Espie (1-6, 6-2, 6-4) on No. 6.
Simon Julin's 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 win on court No. 3 was Stetson's fifth and final win of the day, sending the Owls back to Georgia with their seventh loss of the year and third within the conference.
Stetson's lone doubles victory on Sunday came from the pairing of Simon Julin and Graham Ball who were victorious 8-6 on court No. 3.
"Kennesaw fought very hard today, especially in doubles," said Associate Head Coach Christophe Noblet. "Even though we lost that point, I was glad to see Simon (Julin) and Graham (Ball) winning their match because it was actually first time they teamed up together."
Sunday was also senior day for Stetson as Noblet and his staff said so long to Hans Adrian Riseng (Oslo, Norway).
Following the Hatters' sweep of A-Sun opponents Mercer and Kennesaw State this weekend, they continue with conference play as they travel to Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky next week. Stetson squares off with the Bison, Friday, April 4th at 9 a.m. and then Saturday, April 5th against the Norse for a 2 p.m., matchup.
"Next weekend will be another difficult road trip," Noblet explained. "Our match against Lipscomb will definitely be special as they beat us last year in Conference tournament and I know the guys are looking forward to it."

First of all, every single Internet user has an IP number, therefore a chance of you becoming a victim of a malicious attack is minimized by the overwhelming pool of IP addresses available to those who exercise this type of activity. Second of all, to protect your privacy, the Internet Service Providers do not release any digitally stored legal or financial bank information to anyone but legal authorities. Therefore your private information connected to your ISP provider generally remains very secure.
There is still a chance though that you may become a target of an Internet hacker attack. An IP address attack spoofs your local Internet connection by trying to forge your computer's IP via software vulnerabilities. If you have your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer connected directly to a high speed DSL or high speed Cable Modem without a router or a firewall, a hacker may be able to access the private data on your computer, especially if you use network file sharing or transfer enabled. In this situation, it would not be a bad idea to get a good firewall software along with an antivirus software commonly used by most people such as Antivir or Avast!, or a hardware router with a built in digital firewall. Some high speed DSL, Cable and Dish Internet service providers supply this type of security software at no cost to the people who use their services.
There is also definite advantage of having a true hardware firewall built-in into a router or DSL, Cable or Dish modem. While a software firewall is good and gives you full data transfer control, it may be susceptible to viruses, misconfiguration and crashes, while a hardware firewall does what it claims to do and always runs in the background. While a hardware firewall is generally more stable, allowing only outgoing traffic, it generally gives you a somewhat limited control of your inbound traffic. However, it provides you with the best possible protection to all of the computers on your local network from a dangerous inbound traffic. All high speed Internet service providers, including but not limited to DSL, Cable and Dish network are susceptible to end user security risks, although many of them take extra steps to protect their users.

n America, Christians can read their Bibles, convert to another faith or attend church services without thinking twice.
In some nations, Christians do not have that freedom, according to the Voice of the Martyrs.
Todd Nettleton of the Voice of the Martyrs said:
n In the Far East, Christians can be arrested for holding a Bible study in the privacy of their home.
n In an African nation, Christians run the risk of dying or being critically injured by a bomb set off during church services.
n In the Middle East, a Muslim who converts to Christianity can be killed for denouncing the Islamic faith.

What: King of Glory Revivals women's conference
When: 8:30 a.m.to 4 p.m. May 11
Where: Holiday Inn Express, 3306 Pleasant Valley Blvd.
Cost: Free; includes lunch. An offering will be taken.
Stories of Christian women living in these areas and the persecutions they face will be told at a free women's conference to be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 11 at the Holiday Inn Express, 3306 Pleasant Valley Blvd. It is sponsored by King of Glory Revivals and includes a free lunch at noon.
Five women representing the Voice of the Martyrs will tell how Christian women are physically violated, kidnapped or beaten for their faith and how women in America can help to relieve their suffering.
Voice of the Martyrs, based in Bartlesville, Okla., is an interdenominational Christian organization that is dedicated to assisting the persecuted church worldwide.
Nettleton, director of media development for Voice of the Martyrs, said the average American does not realize that Christians in other parts of the world are suffering for their faith.
"We totally take it for granted that we can go to church on Sunday morning," he said.
Diane Kalajainen, Voice of the Martyrs area coordinator for Pennsylvania, said three presenters at the conference will focus on the Far East, Africa and the Middle East in their stories provided by the organization.
Two presenters will talk about ways to help women in the persecuted church.
Nettleton said in China, Protestant churches are regulated by the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, the government trains the pastors and churches must register with the state. Christians engaging in any gathering outside of a government-sanctioned church are subject to arrest.
In Nigeria, a group known as the Boko Haram has bombed churches, Nettleton said, and in parts of the Middle East, a Christian risks death for giving a Bible to a Muslim friend.
Although the suppression is directed at all Christians, Kalajainen said the conference will concentrate on women as a way to bring about an awareness for their plight. She said stories about martyrdom often are about pastors, who are usually men.
"This is an opportunity to just focus on the women," said Kalajainen of New Castle.
She said that women in other parts of the world have fewer rights than women in America and Europe.
"We have more prominent roles in everyday life, Kalajainen said. "In western cultures, we are out there."
She said another reason for an all-female conference is that women can talk more openly among themselves about abuses such as rape than they could in a church setting with small children present.
"We need to tell American women what their sisters across the world are facing," Kalajainen said.
Sandy Stiffler of Plum Borough and an area representative for Voice of the Martyrs, will focus on women living in the Far East.
Stiffler said she will share stories from such countries as China, North Korea and Indonesia.
"We share the stories we have and yet, they represent so many more," she said. [We speak] for all those who do not
have a voice."
Stiffler related the story of a woman in Pakistan who was picking berries and was arrested for saying: "Jesus is the one who came and died for us. He is the only God."
And while the punishment can be difficult for the one in prison, it also is hard on their families, Stiffler said.
Family members may not be able to find work or be denied ration cards, she said. In some countries, the children are not allowed to go to school.
"There is a lot of oppression," she said.
Ways to bring relief to persecuted Christians is also part of the conference.
Kalajainen said two of the five presenters will share ways Americans can reach out to others.
She said women who have a heart for the plight of the persecuted can send blankets or make action kits with items such as light jackets or sweaters, gloves, socks, sheets, towels, writing pads and pens. They also can provide Bibles written in the languages of the women or write translated letters to women in prison.
She said funds can be donated to meet needs, including medical care for people who have been tortured or physically harmed.
"But the big emphasis is on prayer," Kalajainen said.
Connie Khoury, a pastor and co-leader of King of Glory Revivals with her husband, Ron, said she understands freed prisoners have said that they knew people were praying for them, and they could feel the presence of God.
Khoury of Hollidaysburg said King of Glory Revivals has held a few women's conferences since November and is planning more.
She said each conference covers a different topic and the speakers are leaders in ministry or pastors. Women may attend the whole conference or any part of it.
Khoury said she met Kalajainen and Stiffler at a conference in Pittsburgh and wanted them to speak in Altoona because of her concern for the persecuted church.
Khoury said that Hebrews 13:3 says:
"Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body."
She said the Bible also talks about Christians loving one another and caring for one another's needs.

Move, stretch, take breaks—does that sound like a workout? Does it sound like work? The office may seem like an odd place to work out, but you spend most of your day there. Exercise can keep you healthy, make you more productive and head off workplace injuries. Even short bursts of movement count.
At work, your best fitness option is brisk walking that raises your heart rate. A 30-minute walk can be part of a lunch hour, but there are other ways to add steps:
To and from work: Walk to work, or walk to the train or bus. If you drive to work, park in the row farthest from the entrance. Biking is also an option.
During work: Take the stairs. Don't phone; walk to a coworker's office and talk face-to-face. Use a fax machine or copier at the far end of the office or on a different floor.
Depending how comfortable you are around your coworkers, you can do simple strength training exercises at your desk:
Do a basic crunch in your chair. Pull your belly button in and up; pull your chest down.
Grasp your chair's armrest and push yourself up, using your arms to work the triceps.
Do pushups without using the floor. Place your hands on the edge of your desk and your body at a 45-degree angle to the ground.
It's not natural to sit at a desk for hours at a time. Add poor posture—shoulders rolled forward, neck muscles pinched, arms at an awkward angle—and it can be hazardous.
Some of the most common work-related injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back injuries, often result from working without a break and holding the body in poor positions.
Take breaks at least once an hour, even if just for a few minutes. Stand and stretch your arms over your head to loosen your chest and neck.
In a car stopped at a light: Place the back of your head against the headrest. Pull your chin in toward your throat. Lower your shoulder blades and bring them together. Contract your abdominal muscles. This stretches your neck and upper back.
At your desk: Clasp your hands and place them behind your head. Lift your chin so it's parallel to the floor. Open your elbows like wings. This stretches your chest and shoulders.
Exercise breaks shouldn't be seen as distractions, but as a way to be more productive.
Companies large and small are starting to agree. Investments in employee fitness range from subsidizing memberships at local health clubs to building full-sized fitness centers on site.

The holidays are typically a time to focus on families and kids. But when you're a teenager, and your home isn't a positive -- or even safe -- place to be, you may end up running away or becoming homeless.
There's only one place they can turn to in Central Oregon for emergency shelter and transitional housing: Cascade Youth & Family Center. Also called The Loft, the building off Southwest Century Drive in Bend has beds for 14, plus partners with roughly 15 shelter homes to provide for youth and teens who need help.
CYFC wishes it didn't have to exist. But the fact is, there are some 900 homeless kids in Central Oregon, and every day, calls come pouring in from teens who need help -- like Kyle Holdsworth.
"(My parents) took away some of my personal belongings, and I was put in the garage to sleep on the cement," Holdsworth said of his upbringing.
He said he ran away from home more than 40 times, but didn't know what to do or where to go.
"For a while, I stayed with friends, I couch-surfed, I hung out around school," he added.
It's a story CYFC Program Manager Pat Gundy hears over and over again, and it's why he's so passionate about his work.
"We can't always prevent homelessness, but I think being a runaway is preventable," Gundy said. "And the way we do that is by building healthy families."
That's what CYFC/the Loft is all about. It offers emergency housing, mentoring, family mediation and case management, as well as practical help with everyday skills, like job hunting and learning to cook. It's all free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day.
It wasn't until a Family Access Network advocate at Holdsworth's school pointed him to CYFC that he found stability.
"When I got here, it was like magic. I knew this is the kind of place I want to be," he said.
"We've got some kids here whose goals range from just getting a job to going to college and everything in between. There's not one typical homeless teen here in the area," explained Spencer Newell, CYFC Business Development and Marketing Manager.
Regardless of their backgrounds and experiences, the teens who get housing, mentoring and build friendships at CYFC all need support.
"My parents had convinced me that college wasn't going to happen, and that I probably wouldn't graduate high school," Holdsworth said. "They had convinced me I was going to be one of the people on the side of the street holding a sign."
But that's not where Holdsworth is headed. He's proud to say he is a high school graduate, and plans to attend COCC to become an intervention case manager, to help teens like himself.
If you know someone under 18 who needs support, emergency housing, or other services, visit Cascade Youth & Family Center's website at http://www.jbarj.org/CYFC/, or call their 24-Hour Teen Crisis Hotline at 1-800-660-0934.

Kale – and lots of it.
That's how Jennifer Aniston got in shape for her role as a stripper in her new movie, We're the Millers.
The 44-year-old, who wears nothing but a bra and panties for one scene, says that she put herself on a strict diet.
"I did eat that day," she tells Access Hollywood about filming her underwear scene. "I was on a very like, you know, greens and vegetables and lean proteins and kale."
And she was so serious about looking her best that she didn't even treat herself to a single potato chip or bite of a cupcake.
"When I really wanted to have a cheat day I had to have a kale chip," she admits.
And when she did finally strip down, Aniston made sure that her "kibbles and bits" were covered up.
"There was some major strapping and organizing," she admits. "I had no taping. I really just doubled my bras. I had a thong and then two pairs of underwear. Why I thought that was going to help protect anything is beyond me."

Why the patent system doesn't play well with software: If Eolas went the other way | Opensource.com
Why the patent system doesn't play well with software: If Eolas went the other way
Everyone take a deep breath: it seems we've had a moment of sanity in the patent wars. Last week, a jury invalidated the dangerous Eolas patents, which their owner claimed covered, well, essentially the whole Internet. The patents were originally granted for an invention that helped doctors to view images of embryos over the early web. A few years later, smelling quick cash, their owner insisted that it had a veto right on any mechanism used to embed an object in a web document. Really? The patents are obvious—both now in 2012 and back in 1994, when the first one was filed. Thankfully, a jury realized that and did what should have happened years ago: it invalidated these dangerous patents.
That's the good news. The bad news: it came after the patents already caused plenty of damage. Companies large and small have taken licenses from Eolas rather than pay millions to fight in court. Many, such as Tim Berners-Lee (who testified during trial), warned about the dangers of the Eolas patents:
The existence of the patent and associated licensing demands compels many developers of Web browsers, Web pages, and many other important components of the Web to deviate from the fundamental technical standards that enable the Web to function as a coherent system.
We couldn't agree more, but let's go a step further. What the Eolas patents make clear is that the system isn't working. We've been saying it for years, yet both Congress and the courts have failed to fix the problem. In the now infamous Bilski case, the Supreme Court gave the green light to business method patents, and, consequently, to software patents. But the patent system, which is largely a one-size-fits-all program, simply stops making sense when we start to talk about software.
"Software patents" should be an oxymoron
In order to understand why software patents don't make sense, you have to understand a little bit about the patent system. The Constitution gives Congress the power
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
This single sentence represents an important bargain: when someone invents a novel invention, the government grants the inventor a 20-year monopoly to exploit that invention. At the end of those 20 years, the inventor dedicates that invention to society, allowing others to practice it and build upon it. Traditionally, this monopoly was intended to provide an important incentive, especially where, as with pharmaceuticals, companies have to build factories and laboratories, hire workers, and endure rounds of testing at the FDA before they can sell a drug.
Software often does not require that kind of investment—often all you need is a coder and a computer. Even complex programs don't require 20 years of exclusivity to recoup their investment. We've also seen time and again that software developers don't need patent incentives to create new and great programs. Take, for example, companies like Google and Twitter; neither relied on software patents to grow its early business.
It's also clear that 20 years is too long to protect software inventions. Many who obtain patents—those who may feel obligated to appease venture capitalists or who get patents for defensive purposes, for example—quickly learn that technology moves so quickly that it's often been replaced or vastly improved upon by the time the patent is granted. And it's expensive to get an application through the patent office—costs and fees for "complex software" can range well into the $10,000s! So what do you think happens when a company spends all that money getting a patent and then finds out its product is no longer popular? Enter the patent troll, who buys the antiquated patent and starts suing (more on that below).
Further, software is fundamentally situated as a building block technology. You write some code, and then I improve upon it (the open source folks already have this figured out). But if your code is covered by a 20-year patent, I can't even test my improvements until that patent expires.
Software patents benefit only lawyers, not inventors
Software patents are nearly five times as likely to be litigated as other patents. In fact, lawsuits surrounding software patents have more than tripled since 1999. What does that mean? It means that if you do business in America, and it involves any even arguably patented software, you'd better have a serious legal budget. Take, for instance, Spotify, the popular music streaming service that came to the States in late 2011. A few weeks after it launched—boom!—Spotify is facing a patent lawsuit (the kind of suit that will easily cost each side millions of dollars). Not only is this bad for U.S. businesses, but it drives innovators out of the country, which is bad for all of us, not least of all because it sends jobs abroad. Increasingly, patents serve as a dangerous tax on innovation in America, especially when it comes to software. And domestically this means that instead of helping grow R&D or engineering departments at software companies, software patents increasingly help grow legal departments.
Software patents harm innovation
So what do you do if you're a small inventor, working in your free time on coding new software, and all of a sudden you're threatened with a patent suit? Unfortunately, time and again, we hear of folks closing up shop. When part-time inventors without financial backing or tinkerers in their free time stop inventing the next Facebook or tomorrow's Twitter, we're all worse off. And right now, that's the threat software patents pose.
Now, back to Eolas. What would have happened if the jury went the other way? Virtually every website that allows embedded objects, such as images or video, for example, (in other words, nearly every website) would have to pay up. Sadly, this is the norm and not the exception. The jury in this case got the information it needed, but not every defendant can afford to fight, much less inspire Sir Berners-Lee to testify. Dangerous, overbroad software patents have become a tax on innovation that cannot stand. Software patents are harming innovation and our economy. It's time to rethink our policies.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is committed to defending innovation and fixing the problems with software patents in the long-term. That's why we at the EFF will soon be launching our new campaign around software patents, Patent Fail: In Defense of Innovation. Stay tuned.

All software patents are illegal. All software are algorithms. This is proven scientific fact, the work of Alan Turing and John von Neumann. And patent law clearly states that algorithms cannot be patented. When is the American justice system going to start obeying the law?
@Julie and Shawn.
I agree with what both of you said in spirit. However none of us like activist Judges when our favorite topics are stopped on. Julie as a lawyer you might confirm for me that what the High Court did with Biliski was set the issue in the lap of Congress. Yes Congress as not even attempted in any way that I know of to take this issue up as far as I know. But it is their job not the that of the Justice system. I am glad when I am not stepped on by activist and out of order rulings (illegal) and as a matter of law I am also glad that others who I oppose are not stepped on as well.
Why can't I have patents that cover the inhaling of breathe (including oxygen) into an organism and the conversion of stored sugars into available kinetic energy?
I think a small pause for celebration is in order. It is a victory, albeit a small one, but a victory nonetheless. You can also add speculators as a community that profits from patents, sadly humanity as whole derives little benefit.
I see two further areas of damage from patents in software. The first is the lock-in to a single provider for the patented solution, which goes further when additional capability or functionality is built around or on top of that solution. Having bought into the proprietary and patented solution a user is compelled to only employ their additional proprietary solutions especially if integrated with the patented one. All too often the additional capability or functionality is sub par compared to competitive offerings, but the dependency on the proprietary patent prevents that choice.
The second area is covered to a degree in your post, but benefits from repeating. One thing we have learned over the course of the past decades is that there is no such beast as a perfect software solution. There are always bugs, either inherent in the original code, or introduced a later date by patch or human error. Only the patent owner can repair and improve their code, and furthermore is restricted from taking advantage of efficiencies and capabilities produced by other patent holders. Non-patented software, especially software that is open and enjoys the collaborative efforts of meritocratic developers is often in my experience much higher quality that proprietary alternatives.
One of the saddest things to me about software patents is that you don't have to write a single line of code to get one. A friend of mine works for a company that has many hardware and software patents. He had an idea one day (3 actually) talked with the companies lawyers, they found out nobody had patented what he thought of, and pretty soon, the company had three new patents.
He said not a line of code was written for those patents for over 10 years.
When I wrote "Paul A Norman on 21 Feb 2012" I was thinking along the lines of your comment Troy Dawson: "you don't have to write a single line of code to get one".
So many things that are patented are actually fundamental to the operation of any kind of application in fact - so fundamental that nothing can work with out them. Just as well they are not all enforced!
For example that previous attempt to patent the 'idea' of human interfaces with screen objects - which determined down to an attempt to patent the humble 'mouse click'. (Was successfully carried out in some countries like New Zealand.)
It seems that there needs to be a growing awareness of what is fundamental to human usage of hardware and basic principals of software that are, as I previously suggested, breathing and life itself to any technology.
Patenting grew out of too many ideas akin to claiming a gold mine in a wild west desert wilderness - and needs to be brought back to civilisation, and onto a considered philosophical base that is conducive to continued growth of the industry and what is useful to the widest number of human beings.
It seems to me in all realms of human behaviour, that essentially any attempts to censor, regulate, or in the case of patents - officially register 'human thought' - always lead into paths, the consequences of which need to be fully explored, before enshrining in strong laws and penalties.
To say "I have managed to register this thought first - and that means you shall not think it, and implement it, or else" - that needs to be very carefully reviewed to get a better balance.
If someone has registered and taken to market an idea - actually implemented it in some demonstrably public way - then give a measure of protection for a season, let them profit from their efforts.
But to embargo all other activity, just because someone else has only 'thought', and done nothing with their thought but register it - that is not fully in balance - maybe a shorter period of protection for just thinking the registered thought, to give time to take it to market or implementation of some wider kind, and a consequent protection of the working idea for a season?
But if no action is taken on the thought in an agreed development time, open it to the public?
So how do we stop this silliness? You are right on with your insights, but as I see it there is no easy way for the large group of us who are extremely frustrated by our current patent laws, to change them. I tire of watching parasitic attoneys and trolls feed off of this broken system. I tire of large companies holding everyone in the industry hostage to obvious ideas or even good ideas that don't deserve anything more than a compliment for thinking of them. This only serves to injure innovation and our economy as a whole. If you know how we can force changes in these laws, I am ready to move. I am tired of just complaining. We really need to change this system now!
Call your congress persons.
It would be better if someone organized a response like was done with SOPA. Unfortunately, companies like Google are playing the game rather than trying to inject sanity into it. :(

This cautionary tale is relevant to one of the most important decisions confronting New York State in our time: whether to permit the construction of tens of thousands of new high-volume hydrofracking gas wells across the southern half of our state.
In 1900, my grandfather John Pinkerton Wooster and his wife, Gertrude, sold the mineral rights below their farm along the Genesee River in Livingston County to the Sterling Salt Co. The "Barbara shaft" was completed in their back yard in Cuylerville in 1906. It extended down to the Vernon Shale, remnant of a highly saline inland sea and among the oldest bedrock strata in New York's geologic record.
Sterling laid a railroad track across the fields, hired a mostly transient labor force and built all of the necessary roads and buildings. John quit farming and became the weights master for the mine; Gertrude cooked for "the bigwigs from New York." My great Aunt Alice, John's sister, married a principal investor and retired to Florida to live in a mansion complete with servants and a chauffeur.
In 1969, the Dutch company Akzo took over and enlarged the mine to 6,500 acres – the largest salt mine in North America – and in 1993 achieved a record-breaking $100 million in sales of 10 million tons of road salt. On March 12, 1994, an acre of the mine's ceiling collapsed, attributed to over-mining and under-regulation, causing fractures in the bedrock and inflow of water from an overlying glacial aquifer. Despite Akzo's pumping millions of gallons of salt water into the Genesee River to save the mine, it was completely flooded by January 1996.
The collapse affected the overlying structures of bedrock, glacial soils and water to the point that farm fields ruptured, sinkholes opened up, bridges, roads and foundations settled and cracked. Wells went dry or were contaminated with salt, barium and methane gas. The mine is now filled with 16 billion gallons of saturated halite brine.
Although this may seem like old news, a recently published U.S. Geological Survey study, pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1286/, finds that the Akzo mine disaster is still happening. By 2016, the study says, the weight of the overlying rock and sediment will squeeze this brine lake upward to the lowest of three aquifers – a 37-billion-gallon water supply that will become unusable as a water source. Let me repeat that: In three years, a 37-billion-gallon water supply will become unusable as a water source, as the contaminated water follows the bedrock slope south toward Sonyea and the Finger Lakes, and north potentially as far as Avon, a village whose history, economy and classical architecture were rooted in its identity as a water spa, and could be again, as the value of our state's treasury of high-quality natural waters grows.
Akzo has been pumping and desalinating the salt mine lake since 2006 to prevent this migration into the aquifer. But the horizon of treatment is several hundred years, and even a Dutch company is not likely to keep its thumb in the dike that long. That task will likely default to the state and its taxpayers.
The Marcellus Shale is similarly overlain by glacial sediments and groundwater systems that can extend up to our creeks, lakes and wells and also run laterally underground for many miles. What are the impacts of penetrating these structures and fracturing the underlying bedrock at the rate of 160 acres per well in, on average, 38,000 new horizontal wells across the state?
So far, the Regulatory Impact Statement has omitted independent, publicly reviewed data on the potential impacts of hepatic vein flow volume to human, environmental and economic health beyond the 10-year booms caused by well construction. For example, the Economic Assessment Report states upfront that its numbers come from a shale gas "think tank" in Pennsylvania. Its estimates of "significant economic benefit" are based on its estimates of the number of new gas wells possible, translated simply into jobs and tax revenues. Oddly, for an economic assessment, its several hundred pages of tables and graphs do not factor in any of the costs associated with the extraction of billions of gallons of water from our lakes, creeks and aquifers; the trucking to well pads all over the land; or the contamination of all this water with a secret brew of chemicals, some known to be carcinogenic, which will then be pumped deep into the earth and much of it left there for potential future migration. Nor does the study consider the inevitable accidents that plague all mining and that, at this scale, could result in contamination of surface and ground drinking water supplies for millions of people.
Because of omissions like these, economic analysts have publicly protested that the economic report is flawed. But it is still being used to support the case for hydrofracking, like one of those thin pillars of salt under Cuylerville that was thought to be sound until it was not.

WIMBLEDON, England � All at once, there was a frenzy of activity at a wet and windy All England Club early Monday afternoon.
Top-seeded and 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, a big hitter in her own right, was overpowered in a 6-4, 6-3 loss to No. 15 Sabine Lisicki. Four-time title winner Serena Williams was locked in a three-set tussle against a wild-card entry from Kazakhstan who is ranked 65th but is responsible for the only perfect set in women�s professional tennis. Defending champion Petra Kvitova was trying to come back after dropping her opening set.
Oh, and over on Centre Court, there was the not-so-insignificant matter of 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer�s medical timeout to get treatment for his aching back.
The start of Week 2 at Wimbledon has been dubbed �Manic Monday,� because it�s the only major tournament that schedules all 16 fourth-round singles matches on one day.
Sure lived up to that moniker this year, even if rain prevented five of the eight men�s matches from finishing.
The most newsworthy result was the abrupt end of Sharapova�s bid to become the first woman since Williams in 2002 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. Less than a month after completing a career Grand Slam in Paris to return to No. 1, Sharapova bowed out against someone she had beaten the three other times they met. She will be replaced atop the rankings next week.
�Nothing is easy. Certainly not a Wimbledon title,� Sharapova said. �So I don�t know if it�s easier or tougher now than it was years ago, but I don�t think it�s ever easier.�
Federer, seeking a seventh trophy at the grass-court Grand Slam, beat Xavier Malisse 7-6 (1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 to reach a 33rd consecutive major quarterfinal, adding to his record. After the seventh game, Federer got help from a trainer for his back. When he returned, his play didn�t appear to suffer all that much, other than slower-than-usual serves. On the other hand, Federer capped the match with a 122 mph ace.
�Honestly, I�m not too worried. I�ve had bad backs over the years. I�ve been around. They go as quick as they came,� he said. �But of course I have to keep an eye on it now.�
Federer now faces No. 26 Mikhail Youzhny, a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 7-5 winner over Denis Istomin. Federer is 13-0 against Youzhny, who chose to look on the bright side, saying: �I have one more chance.�
The only other man assured a spot in Wednesday�s quarterfinals is No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The defending champion improved to 12-1 against Viktor Troicki, his doubles partner for Serbia at the upcoming London Olympics, by winning 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 under the Centre Court roof.
�Weather is always an obstacle here,� Djokovic said.
Two men�s matches never started, and three were suspended: No. 4 Andy Murray leads No. 16 Marin Cilic by a set and a break; No. 10 Mardy Fish took the first set against No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and they�re tied 1-all in the second; No. 31 Florian Mayer leads No. 18 Richard Gasquet 6-3, 2-1.
The women�s quarterfinals are set for Tuesday: No. 6 Williams vs. No. 4 Kvitova, who came back to beat No. 24 Francesca Schiavone of Italy 4-6, 7-5, 6-1; Lisicki vs. No. 8 Angelique Kerber, who ended the soon-to-retire Kim Clijsters� last Wimbledon 6-1, 6-1; No. 2 Victoria Azarenka vs. Tamira Paszek; and No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. No. 17 Maria Kirilenko.
Azarenka, the Australian Open champion, has lost only 14 games so far. The most interesting aspect of her 6-1, 6-0 win over 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic? The pigeon feathers that slowly floated down to the grass after a bird collided with the roof.
�Sometimes it can be annoying when somebody is chewing chips right when you�re serving. Doesn�t really matter; you just have to stay focused on your game. Whatever is going on around is going on around. It�s out of your hands,� Azarenka said. �But the feathers? It was fun.�
Lisicki certainly had a grand ol� time against Sharapova, smiling all the while.
She used flat, powerful groundstrokes to neutralize Sharapova from the baseline. She also served bigger than Sharapova, reaching 118 mph and collecting six aces. A second-serve winner at 117 mph earned Lisicki�s third match point, which she converted with a second-serve ace at 108 mph, then dropped to her knees and shook her fists while Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki cheered from her Court 1 guest box. (Michael Jordan�s Chicago Bulls running-mate Scottie Pippen was at Williams� match on Court 2.)
�That�s my game, to serve well and be aggressive. That�s what I did. I think it worked well,� Lisicki said. �As soon as I got the break in the second set, I knew, �I�m going to take it home.��
Lisicki missed seven months in 2010 because of a left ankle injury � she�s described what she went through as having �to learn how to walk again� � and dropped out of the top 200. After twisting that ankle in April, Lisicki withdrew from two tournaments and then lost her opening matches at four consecutive events, including the French Open.
But she clearly has taken a liking to the All England Club, having reached the semifinals last year, when she lost to Sharapova.
Despite their history, Sharapova referred to Lisicki as �the girl I played today,� rather than by name. Sort of the way Williams� father talked about Yaroslava Shvedova, who gave the 13-time major champion all she could handle over the last two sets before losing 6-1, 2-6, 7-5.
�Whatever her name is, her feet were moving very well,� Richard Williams said. �Serena�s feet weren�t moving.�
�Looked like Serena�s just not playing. She�s not moving forward. Standing still. Getting caught on her back heels too much,� he said. �Looked like if the girl took the ball early, she won the point.�
In the third round, Shvedova won every single point � 24 of 24 � in the first set against French Open runner-up Sara Errani, the first �golden set� by a woman in the 44-year Open era.
When Williams began Monday�s match by sailing her first groundstroke, a backhand, long to trail love-15, did that perfect set by Shvedova cross her mind?
�I was worried about it,� Williams joked. �I just said, �Serena, just get a point in this set and try to figure it out.� I definitely thought about it.�
Quickly, the question became not whether Williams would win a point � OK, everyone knew that answer beforehand � but whether Shvedova would win a game. Call it a �Serena Set�: She won 16 of 19 points in one stretch and went ahead 5-0.
But from 2-all in the second, Shvedova began hitting backhand winners at will, serving better and returning well, too, reeling off five games in a row. After the second set ended on a forehand into the net by Williams, she earned a warning from the chair umpire for racket abuse.
Williams already was pushed to a 9-7 third set in the third round, then trailed Shvedova 5-4 in the third. But with her father yelling encouragement from the stands, Williams took the final three games.
They played through drizzles that left Shvedova�s prescription glasses tough to see through, so she removed them. And at 5-5, she double-faulted twice in a row to set up break point, then missed a backhand wide. But Shvedova insisted her mistakes had nothing to do with her vision.
�It�s just I was a bit nervous,� she said.
Plus, of course, that was Williams out there.
�In the right moments,� Shvedova explained, �she did the right things.�
That included a running, stretching cross-court backhand lob that Shvedova let drop behind her for a winner.
�I was surprised it went in. Maybe it was wind or something,� Shvedova said. �Very weird.�
Richard Williams� take?
�Actually,� he said, �it was luck, to be honest with you.�
His daughter acknowledged she �had no intention of hitting that shot. ... I thought I was going for a backhand down the line, and somehow it ended up being a cross court lob. That was not in the plans whatsoever.�
She�ll play Kvitova in a quarterfinal between the only past Wimbledon champions left in the women�s draw, now that Sharapova is gone. Williams is 2-0 against Kvitova, both straight-set victories in 2010, at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
�She�s obviously a great grass-court player, as well as I am,� Williams said. �I�ll be ready.�

There were some things that happened in the Browns' loss to the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday that you'd expect to see in a Friday night high school game.
Actually, that would be insulting to some of the fine high school coaches in the area. They know how to put the correct personnel grouping on the field in time to huddle up and get to the line of scrimmage before the play clock expires.
Granted, there are far more personnel groupings and player substitutions in the NFL than in high school, but it shouldn't be as difficult as the Browns made it seem to be against the Ravens. On one occasion, the players coming on the field didn't reach the huddle until there were 10 seconds showing on the play clock. By then quarterback Brandon Weeden knew it was time to call a timeout.
Weeden had to burn off three timeouts because of personnel problems, including twice in the first half. Those lost timeouts proved costly when the offense didn't have enough time to finish off a drive with a possible touchdown late in the second quarter.
Cynics would say the Browns would have kicked a field goal even if they had enough time, but that doesn't change the fact that the coaching staff didn't even give the offense a chance to score six points.
There's no question that the process of calling a play and getting the proper personnel on the field is more challenging than the old messenger system, when usually a guard would enter play to bring in the call. Back then there weren't all the complex personnel groupings and formations that exist today.
In the Browns system, coach Pat Shurmur makes the call with assistance from offensive coordinator Brad Childress. During that time someone on the sideline either calls out or makes a hand signal to inform the proper players to get on the field.
The Browns use west-coast terminology when making personnel changes. If "Tiger" is the call, the offensive formation will include two tight ends, two receivers and one running back. If it's a "Zebra" call, it will be three receivers, one tight end and one running back.
It's really not that complicated, but Shurmur and his staff have made an ordeal of it. Not just three days ago, but all season. There should be an official statistic named in honor of the Browns that determines how many times a team breaks the huddle with less than 10 seconds remaining on the play clock.
Weeden, who's been pleasant to deal with since his welcoming press conference last April, was clearly perturbed by the events of last Sunday. He wasn't happy with his performance, but two terse "no comments" after questions about the sideline problems spoke loudly.
It's common knowledge that Shurmur has to go all out to impress owner James Haslam III in order to save his job for a third season. Powerful men that are used to getting their way don't stick with the status quo when losses pile up like dirty laundry.
Shurmur may well have sealed his fate last Sunday. The cascade of boos each time a needless timeout was called had to reverberate loud and clear throughout the owner's loge.
Haslam is on record as saying he won't make any changes until after the season. Unless the Browns do the unthinkable and reel of seven straight wins to close out the season, it's hard to imagine a way Shurmur will be asked back.
Clearly, the play-calling system isn't a smooth process. Where it's breaking down hasn't been neatly laid out to the media, but you can bet that Haslam has investigated it thoroughly.
As the owner, he had to be embarrassed by what he saw last Sunday.

LOCKPORT – A Hartland woman, kicked off probation Friday for failure to cooperate with drug counseling, may be headed to jail soon, and Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said a Lockport man may not be far behind.
Farkas scheduled sentencing Dec. 19 for Kelly L. Smith, 49, of Ridge Road, Hartland. She had been on probation since July for selling her prescription painkillers.
In the other case, Assistant Public Defender A. Joseph Catalano talked Farkas into giving Kevin I. Kelly 60 days on interim probation to show he can stop using marijuana. Catalano conceded Kelly has made no real effort to do so.
"I don't think he'll do well [on probation]. I can still send him to prison, but I'll give it a shot," Farkas said.
Kelly, 19, of John Street, Lockport, had pleaded guilty to having 1.48 grams of crack cocaine when a car in which he was a passenger was stopped May 22 on Walnut Street in Lockport.

LEWISTON – Some days it comes down to putting your head down, getting some puck luck and finishing the play.
Ryan Murphy skated hard down the ice, got behind the Canisius defense, which anticipated an icing call, and found himself alone in front goaltender Tony Capobianco.
Murphy went to the backhand and beat Capobianco high to break a scoreless tie with 4:24 left in the third period and put No. 15 Niagara on track for a 2-0 win over Canisius in front of a sold-out crowd of 1,559 at Dwyer Arena on Saturday night.
Niagara defender Jason Beattie cleared the puck from his zone off the boards. It looked as if the play would result in an icing, but the puck hit the referee keeping the play alive. That's when Murphy picked the puck up in the Canisius zone and finished off a scoring opportunity.
"I was reading icing," Capobianco said. "Once he got the puck, I couldn't get depth, I tried to poke-check but he was too far away, he got a good shot off inside the post."
"That's a play where we play the puck across the [defensive] zone and I'm on the other side," Murphy said. "I put my head down, skated as fast as I could and the puck was in front of me."
"It was a lucky bounce for us, but the finish is what we should be talking about," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said."
The win gave Niagara a 2-1 advantage in the Atlantic Hockey regular-season series between the teams and was the third tight, low-scoring game between the rivals. Niagara won, 2-1, in November at the Buffalo State Ice Arena, and Canisius evened the season series there, 2-0, on Thursday.
In the clash of the top two defensive teams in Atlantic Hockey, neither was ready to bend.
Canisius entered the weekend with the best scoring defense in the league, and ninth-best nationally, allowing 2.25 goals a game. Niagara was right behind, giving up just 2.27 goals a game. Still, there were great opportunities on both sides.
Niagara (18-5-5, 17-2-2) had a 44-32 advantage in shots on goal. Each team went 0 for 5 on the power play and both goaltenders and defenses made impressive plays.
"From my perspective, both teams had pucks on sticks and the desperation defense was evident on both sides," Canisius coach Dave Smith said. "There were about 70 shots in that game and both teams had opportunities, good goaltending and good defense. It was an extremely high level of hockey."
The best opportunity for Canisius was a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:07 at the end of the second period and beginning of the third.
"You want to score in those situations," Smith said. "They can be game changing. The guys ran what we were trying to run, but the other team is trying as well. We didn't feel like we lost momentum, though."
It was an important penalty kill for Niagara, which has killed of 61-of-66 power plays on home ice.
"They way they play defense, if they got a goal there it would be huge," Burkholder said. "But the defense won a couple of key faceoffs, and Chubak was very solid."
Chubak recorded 32 saves in his sixth shutout of the season. Patrick Divjak scored into an empty net with three seconds left for Niagara , which extended its unbeaten streak at Dwyer to 18 games.
Canisius (11-14-5, 10-9-2) remains tied for fourth place in the standings with Holy Cross, which has two games in hand. Both teams have 22 points.
Niagara has a home-and-home with Robert Morris next weekend, playing in Dwyer on Friday and in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Canisius meanwhile travels to Colorado for two games at Air Force.
