WELLSVILLE - A closed-door session of Village Council held Thursday afternoon for the discipline of a village employee ended with no action taken and little information divulged by officials.
The special meeting was reportedly called for personnel matters, and upon convening, Mayor Sue Haugh asked for an executive session for disciplinary matters, with solicitor Andy Beech invited to attend.
When council reconvened in open session less than an hour later, it immediately adjourned, and Haugh declined to comment further on the reason for the meeting.
However, a public records request made by the media in the fiscal office following the meeting turned up documents indicating that Fiscal Officer Dale Davis was the subject of the disciplinary discussion.
Asked for all emails, texts, faxes and other correspondence pertaining to the disciplinary issue, Davis provided a copy of a Jan. 2 letter from Walter & Haverfield, a Cleveland legal firm, to Haugh, Beech and village council.
In the letter, attorney Jonathan D. Greenberg wrote that he represented Davis with regard to employment issues "that have seemingly arisen with respect to his employment as Fiscal Officer."
He referred to a text message sent by Haugh to Davis, stating, "Don't bother coming n [sic] tomorrow. There r [sic] some things I've been made aware of and I think it's best that our paths don't cross until I get all the facts straight."
The email was sent by Haugh at 8:11 p.m. Dec. 30, advising Davis to not come to work on Dec. 31.
Greenberg advised that Davis had not been informed of any facts, circumstances or allegations prompting the text message, nor had he been given an opportunity to respond to the allegations.
"In short, Mr. Davis has been completely blindsided and is totally in the dark," Greenberg wrote.
The attorney said having learned of Thursday's special meeting for an employment issue, he presumed Davis' employment status would be considered by council and requested that Haugh immediately inform Davis of the facts, circumstances and allegations, noting that, according to the village handbook and employment laws, he should be informed of the situation and given an opportunity to respond to all allegations prior to the council meeting.
Davis did not work Monday and was again absent on Wednesday, but he sent Haugh a text Wednesday, telling her he had stayed home Monday at her request and "felt it was best for me to stay home today," advising her he had to work Thursday in order to prepare payroll.
"It would be nice to know what I am being accused of doing or not doing so that I could present my side of the story," Davis concluded in the text sent to the mayor.
A "special" council meeting was also held at noon Wednesday during which members voted to add the name of fiscal Clerk Cassandra Bloor to village banking accounts, with Haugh's added as a third name "when required."
No notice of this meeting was given to the media as required by law. Asked after yesterday's meeting why, Haugh said, "It was an emergency. We needed to write checks in Dale's absence and we weren't able to."
She was advised that Ohio's Open Meeting Act (Sunshine Law) requires public bodies calling an emergency meeting to immediately notify the media that it has been called and the purpose.
Any action taken at a meeting determined to have been called illegally can be declared null and void in the event of court action against a public body.
Haugh said she was unaware notification was required in an emergency situation and said, "It won't happen again."
Asked what checks needed written so badly that an emergency was declared, Haugh initially said, "I'm not sure," then quickly added, "No comment."
Finally, the mayor said one check she was sure had to be written was for a transmission in one of the village trucks.
Haugh said council was "basically doing what should have been done months ago," by adding others' names to the banking accounts, which had been recommended by the state auditor.
At the meeting Wednesday, members John Morrow and Diane Dinch were absent. Dinch was also absent from yesterday's meeting.
Asked for comment last night, Davis declined.

Police searching for pair after cookie money taken
Police in northern Kentucky say two people were caught on tape with their hands metaphorically in a cookie jar. Now police in northern Kentucky want to know who they are.
Erlanger police told The Kentucky Enquirer they are seeking a man and woman who they say stole money from the purse of a woman who had been selling Girl Scout cookies outside a Kroger.
Police say the man opened an unlocked car door and stole the money. As the man fled, he threw the purse at a Kroger employee who was chasing him.
Police say he'd already removed the money from the purse, however, and then drove off with a woman who had been acting as a lookout.
Anyone with information about the theft should call police at 859-727-2424.

Erie man charged in pedestrian accident (Updated: 2:52 p.m.)
An Erie man was jailed this morning on charges in a hit-and-run pedestrian accident on the city's east side late Wednesday night.
Jovan D. Crosby, 25, of the 1000 block of McCarter Avenue, was arraigned by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak on charges of accidents involving personal injury, driving under the influence, recklessly endangering another person, careless driving, failure to drive at safe speed, failure to give information and render aid and failure to immediately notify police of an accident. Urbaniak set bond at $25,000.
Police accuse Crosby of hitting a 29-year-old woman with his car as Crosby drove east on East 12th Street. The woman, whose name has not been released pending notification of family, was in a crosswalk at Wayne Street, according to investigators.
The woman remains hospitalized at UPMC Hamot. Information on her condition was not available this morning.
Police said Crosby fled the scene of the accident. He was later located and apprehended in the area of East 28th and Brandes streets.

Beef's Megatrends
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
The beef industry has undergone significant change in the last few years. On the production side, severe drought has caused structural changes in the industry. Herd size has dramatically diminished, input costs are high, and some cattlemen are exiting the business instead of taking on herd rebuilding. Looking ahead, there are further significant changes in the marketing landscape that the industry must successfully adapt to in order to keep beef as the premier center of the plate protein.
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.

, updated June 26, 2013 at 12:27 AM
High-level talks involving officials from Albany, Washington and Ottawa continue this week with an aim toward a Peace Bridge agreement – perhaps as soon as Friday – that will allow progress on Canadian priorities as well as a new traffic study on the U.S. plaza.
The traffic study, which eventually could lead to expansion of the Buffalo plaza, is now viewed as the key to New York State objectives and could offer a way out for all parties embroiled in a months-long international dispute over the pace of development on the U.S. side, according to Rep. Brian Higgins and several informed sources on both sides who asked not to be identified.
Following weekend meetings in Manhattan involving Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Ambassadors Gary Doer of Canada and David Jacobson of the U.S., the sources say all parties continue to build on progress and seek an agreement before Friday's next scheduled meeting of the fractured Peace Bridge Authority.
Higgins, D-Buffalo, who has assumed a key role in brokering peace, said Tuesday that the personal involvement of the governor and two ambassadors has "kicked up" the level of discussions in a way that provides optimism for an agreement.
"There are still some issues that need to be resolved," he said. "But the right people are in the room."
But even if that goal is not attained, sources say Cuomo wants a new effort to begin planning for eventual plaza expansion in Buffalo while approximately $50 million in projects already unanimously approved by the authority proceed.
Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo, who has also assumed a visible legislative role in the ongoing dispute, said the traffic study now figures as an important part of the negotiations. He also said attaining an agreement before the Friday meeting remains desirable but does not present any kind of deadline.
"The goal is a comprehensive plan," he said. "We have to do a traffic study."
The word "simultaneous" has emerged as key to the talks, since New York officials fear that exclusive concentration on other projects could further delay plaza expansion.
"The rhetoric has changed," the source said. "People are talking."
Higgins defended Cuomo's hard-charging approach to attaining progress on a Buffalo plaza long perceived as a symbol of inaction, noting that several of his predecessors have come nowhere near gaining at least some results. And key to the effort, he said, is an environmental review process that would allow U.S. planners to prepare for several alternative approaches while other projects proceed.
"The governor wants to look at a plan for the existing American footprint that may include reorganization of American facilities," he said, with an eye toward improving traffic flow and easing congestion.
"It's not important how you get attention, it's what you do with the attention," he added.
Higgins noted that a "comprehensive" settlement that includes governance of the international span still needs approval by both sides. Ryan also has addressed that issue, questioning whether the authority needs to build massive reserves for its construction projects.
While Ryan noted an agreement before Friday is not essential, others said Cuomo would like to announce an end to the dispute in Buffalo soon in the same manner as his recent truce with the Seneca Nation of Indians over its gambling compact.
The Friday meeting also assumes significance because the Peace Bridge Authority agenda includes awarding a $13 million contract to widen the span's Buffalo approach. Canadian officials of the authority, meanwhile, continue to insist that with Ryan's bill to dissolve the authority passed last week by the State Legislature and awaiting Cuomo's signature, uncertainty clouds the future and most likely will cause the panel to delay a vote on the contract and the widening project – unless an agreement is reached.
Still, Higgins reiterated that the elevation of the talks to top levels has helped the situation.
"The Peace Bridge Authority is not hesitant in its responsibility to finance further American improvements," he said. "The question is what is the right procedure."
A Cuomo spokesman declined to comment, citing ongoing negotiations.
Canadian officials used diplomatic language in response to questions about negotiations, a further sign that both sides are toning down the rhetoric that created sharp tensions in recent weeks.
Kelly James, a spokeswoman for Transport Canada in Ottawa, citing last weekend's high-level meeting in New York City, said, "A respectful, fact-based dialogue is the best way to ensure the smooth functioning of an institution that has served our two countries for almost a century.''
But she made clear that Canada has no interest in seeing the governor sign the legislation to dissolve the Peace Bridge Authority, a move Canadians said could lead to court challenges. "The government of Canada welcomes these contacts and believes that it is in all parties' interests to support effective functioning of the existing governance structures and move forward with targeted capital investments,'' she said.

First published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man's fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman's stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck's powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
This Centennial edition, specially designed to commemorate one hundred years of Steinbeck, features french flaps and deckle-edged pages.
For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Re: visual c 6 problem (bigger dll size)
Can you please explain when you see the size difference? Is it when you compile in 2 different options.
Re: visual c 6 problem (bigger dll size)
look, i have the 2 projects both in release mode, both have the same files, both compile ok, but the dlls they produce are of different size, the original project is 130 kb , the other project the dll is 300 kb..... so why is this ? is there any option i have to activate or deactivate or smt, help please
ps>: 2 projects are for the same thing, so i expect the dll must be the same size.
Re: visual c 6 problem (bigger dll size)
If both have the same thing then it might so happen that some extra libs are needed for both or else it cannot be the case that both having the same configuration and same code differ in size.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — On Oct. 6, the Sierra Green Building Association (SiGBA) is having their much anticipated annual Green Building Tour. This year's tour features four sites, commercial and residential, each with their own unique approach to low-impact design, construction, and occupant lifestyle.
The end user and/or design professional involved in the building of each site will take you through the space, highlighting the major benchmarks of sustainable design. These will include site design, resource conservation, responsible material use and disposal, indoor environmental quality, and efficient operations, focusing on innovative and non-traditional techniques used to reach these benchmarks. If you have ever wondered how you might apply some of the basic (and extraordinary) green applications to your home, these sites will inspire and captivate you.
Along with residential sites, the building tour will also visit the first introduction of a commercial building on the tour. You will be led through the Truckee Airport Administration Building, which is a new landmark for Truckee with an impressive list of high-performance features.
The Truckee community has long been a little-known hub for green building innovation. SiGBA was founded in 2003 to help recognize, celebrate and promote the community's innovations and leadership in environmental building practices. The fall home tour has been a longstanding community event where homeowners, designers, and building professionals get together and share their innovative building methods.
Ticket information
The cost of the tour is $25 for SiGBA Business Members and $35 for non-members. Tickets include transportation to the sites and a bagged lunch. The tour leaves from the old middle school 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 6. Space on the tour is limited. Purchase your tickets today at www.sigba.org.

College Aggies Online Launches with Renewed Commitment to Advocating for Agriculture
College Aggies Online Launches with Renewed Commitment to Advocating for Agriculture
The Animal Agriculture Alliance's fourth annual College Aggies Online (CAO) agriculture advocacy scholarship program, launched yesterday with new guidelines and projects designed to encourage participants to be actively engaged with the American public.
In years past, participants have posted blogs, photos, and videos directly to the College Aggies website and have interacted with other participants using that forum. This year, in addition to posting any content to the CAO website, students will earn additional points by sharing that content, with others outside of the CAO network, using social media tools.
Additionally, the students' weekly "Aggies Homework" will be focused on helping them master different social media platforms. In the first few assignments, students will be required to create a LinkedIn profile and a Pinterest account, both of which will be utilized for future assignments during the competition—one of which includes a Super Bowl recipe contest on Pinterest.
"We are very excited about taking the CAO program to the next level this year," said Alliance President and CEO Kay Johnson Smith. "The goal is that after the competition ends, students will be comfortable communicating—through social media—with the American public about agriculture, and will continue to do so."
During the first week of the competition, students will also take part in a social media webinar hosted by one of the program's sponsors, the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance. Other 2013 program sponsors include: the National Pork Board, Drive Magazine, and Lallemand Animal Nutrition.
Last year, approximately 750 students representing more than 50 universities participated in the CAO. This year, the program is launching with nearly 900 student participants.
"We can't wait to see how the students respond to the new challenges throughout the competition," stated Johnson Smith. "All of these students are already passionate about agriculture, and it's time that they shared that passion with the community at large."
The final points will be tallied in April 2013 and the club with the most points will receive a $5,000.00 scholarship, national recognition and a trip for one representative to Washington, D.C. for the Alliance's annual Stakeholders Summit. Scholarships and recognition will also be awarded to the runner-up in the club as well as to the three top-placing individuals.
To learn more about the competition, visit the CAO Facebook page. Interested collegiate clubs or departments can also contact Krissa Welshans, Project Coordinator. Industry stakeholders interested in program sponsorship opportunities should contact Krissa or visit the Alliance's website for more information.

New study reveals four or more hours of sitting has a significant higher risk for chronic diseases like cancer
Dr. Richard Rosenkranz, PhD, MS, assistant professor of human nutrition and researcher, Kansas State University in collaboration with fellow researchers from School of Science and Health, University of Western Sydney, investigated the link between sitting time and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian males.
In comparison to females, males experience a range of health unfairness including higher rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Although sitting time is rising as a distinct risk factor for chronic diseases, research on the association of sitting time and chronic disease in middle-aged Australian males is limited, according to the study's background.
For this study a sample of 63,048 males, aged 45 to 64 years, from the Australian state of New South Wales. Participants had self-reported the presence or absence of various chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, combined chronic diseases), along with daily sitting time identified as less than four hours, six to eight hours or more than eight hours. Physical activity was also recorded.
The study revealed those participants that had reported sitting more than four hours a day were significantly more likely to report having chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The participants who reported sitting six to eight hours or more than eight hours were also significantly more likely to report having diabetes in comparison to those who sat less than four hours daily.
Dr. Rosenkranz commented "We saw a steady stair-step increase in risk of chronic diseases the more participants sat." "The group sitting more than eight hours clearly had the highest risk."
In their conclusion the researchers write "Our findings suggest that higher volumes of sitting time are significantly associated with diabetes and overall chronic disease, independent of physical activity and other potentially confounding factors. Prospective studies using valid and reliable measures into domain-specific sitting time in middle-aged males are required to understand and explain the direction of these relationships."
"We know that with very high confidence that more physically active people do better with regard to chronic disease compared with less physically active people, but we should also be looking at reducing sitting." "A lot of office jobs that require long periods of sitting may be hazardous to your health because of inactivity and the low levels of energy expenditure," says Dr. Rosenkranz.
Researchers discovered consistent findings in those who had a similar physical activity level, age, income, education, weight and height. Participants who sat more reported more chronic diseases even if they had a similar body mass index compared with those who sat less.
Dr. Rosenkranz remarked "It's not just that people aren't getting enough physical activity, but it's that they're also sitting too much." "And on top of that, the more you sit, the less time you have for physical activity."
Dr. Rosenkranz explained the study focused on males because they have higher rates of diabetes and heart disease, but it is probably applicable in adults across gender, race and ethnicity. He also added little is known about sitting in children and chronic diseases.
Although there may be additional underlying factors influencing the development of chronic disease, as well as reported sitting time and physical activity, our findings suggest that sitting time is a distinct lifestyle factor that may be considered in efforts to decrease chronic disease in middle-aged Australian males according to the researchers. They further add that although most of the current evidence is suggestive of a causal connection, they cannot be certain in this study whether volumes of sitting time led to the development of chronic diseases or whether the chronic diseases influenced sitting time.
In closing Dr. Rosenkranz commented "It's a classic case of, 'Which came first: The chicken or the egg?'"
This study is published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
Do you have sitting disease? The term "Sitting Disease" has been coined by the scientific community and is commonly used when referring to metabolic syndrome and the ill-effects of an overly sedentary lifestyle. However, the medical community does not recognize Sitting Disease as a diagnosable disease at this time, according to Stand.org.
Information on combatting sitting disease is available online at the Stand.org website.

Wicked, that phenomenal box office hit is coming back to Richmond's Landmark Theater October 5th through October 16th, 2011. Tickets for this fabulous Broadway musical go on sale Friday August 5 2011 at the Landmark box office at 7 AM, and on the web at 10 AM.
Wicked is, of course, Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. Called the "best musical of the decade" by Entertainment Weekly, the musical covers so much that happened before Dorothy dropped in. Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Galinda, later Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Their friendship struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, their reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot of the first act is set before Dorothy's arrival from Kansas, and includes several references to well-known scenes and dialogue in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz as a backstory.
Get your tickets while the best seats are available. Make it a special downtown evening by making a reservation to check in at the Fan District's premier bed and breakfast, just two blocks away from the Landmark Theater. After dinner at one of the Fan's great restaurants, stroll to the theater, enjoy the performance, then back to your guest suite for a great night's sleep – no driving worries, we have off street parking for our guests, and in the morning you'll be treated to a hearty gourmet breakfast! Got an anniversary, birthday, proposal in the works? This is a perfect way to celebrate!

MACON, Ga. – For the first time this season and the for the fourth time in her career, Stetson University pitcher Meredith Owen has earned Pitcher of the Week honors from the Atlantic Sun Conference. The announcement came down from the conference office this morning, following the senior hurler's performance in the circle this past weekend at the Stetson Classic in DeLand.
Owen picked up a save and a pair of victories, while fanning 14 batters in three appearances during the tournament. She earned the save by pitching a perfect seventh for the Hatters in their 9-7 win over Memphis on Saturday. The save was her first of the season and sixth of her career, making her the all-time leader in that category in program history.
Owen's first appearance in the circle during the tournament came on Friday, also vs. Memphis, where she gave up just one hit in a five inning game, striking out eight and walking one. Her second appearance was in relief vs. South Dakota on Saturday, where she pitched four innings, including the eighth. She began the extra frame with a runner on second and no outs due to the international tiebreak rule, but struck out the side, setting the stage for Stetson's walk-off win in the bottom half of the inning. The senior righty struck out six, walked one and gave up her first earned run of the season on three hits in that contest.
Owen's accomplishments over the weekend were not just in the circle alone as she hit her fifth home run of the season and scored a run in the opening game vs. Memphis. The Jackson, Miss., native can be found on the conference leader board in a number of different categories, including ERA (0.16, 1st), strikeouts (45, T-5th) and fewest walks allowed (6, T-2nd). She is also sixth in the conference in long balls and fifth in slugging percentage (.744).
Owen joins teammate Jessie TenBroeck as the two Hatters to earn weekly awards from the A-Sun this season. She also garnered pre-season praise as she was a unanimous selection for the all-conference team.
Owen and her Stetson teammates will next take the field for their conference opener vs. USC Upstate, Mar. 11 at Patricia Wilson Field. The Hatters and Spartans will square off in a double header starting at 4 p.m., Tuesday and then conclude the three-game set with a single 4 p.m. game on Wednesday.
Tickets start at $5 per day and can be purchased online at GoHatters.com/tix or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

The Pleasant Valley Church is having its members "RACK" people for the holidays.
Members of the church have been distributing special red and white cards with the message "You've Been RACK'ed" written on them. This refers to Random Acts of Christmas Kindness.
Pastor John Weisman said the Random Acts of Christmas Kindness aims to get people to smile and is a simple way of letting people know that God cares about them.
"We are just one of many churches taking part in this. We were able to get many from the congregation involved in doing various acts of kindness. I know many from the church who have said it has been a lot of fun," he said.
Weisman said churches across the country are taking part doing good things for others.
Weisman said one member went to help pay off the layaway for shoppers at a local store while others paid for someone's haircut or pedicure. He said one man helped repair someone's furnace at no cost.
"People have told me those they have helped were amazed and very appreciative of what was done to help them," she said
Marci Bowser of Howland, a member of the church, approached the church leaders with the idea when she heard about the grassroots effort.
She said this is the first year for the cards which ran out since so many from the church were taking part. The cards are left with people so they understand what was done.
She and her daughter, Courtney, were in line at Starbucks and helped pay for people's orders. Weisman helped pay for meals at McDonald's.
"He recently did the bubble gum machine at Giant Eagle where he left the cards with quarters on them so children could get bubblegum." Bowser said.
Bowser said her sister saw the idea online, and she thought it was a great idea and brought it to the attention of the pastors.
"I kept telling them we need to do something like this locally, and we came up with the cards," she said noting the congregation welcomed the idea immediately.
Bowser said she went several mornings through the drive-through at Starbucks.
"Starbucks did a pay-it-forward morning where each car in the drive-through for one hour had the driver in the vehicle pay for the person in front or behind them," she said.
"Everyone has gotten into this. One of the members thought it should be done all year long and not just at Christmas" Bowser said.
Bowser said the people given the cards are very touched, and the stores and businesses have been cooperative with the idea.
Jeff Bowser said at restaurants he has given the card and tipped the server 100 percent of the bill.
"People can make up their own way to show kindness at Christmas. One of our parishioners went out and paid off someone's layaway at Kmart," Marci Bowser said.
Jack Simon, a member of the congregation, said he is aware of other churches that have done this and helped pay off people's gifts in layaway at a store or helped pay for a meal.
Weisman said despite the stress of the holidays people are more open to God during the Christmas season than any other time.
Suggested ideas have included volunteering at food and clothing ministry, giving away a plate of cookies to someone, leaving a treat or small gift in the mailbox for the mail carrier, baby-sit for free, rake leaves or shovel snow, visit someone in a hospital or nursing home, pay for someone's Santa pictures at the mall, buy hot cocoa for a Salvation Army bell ringer, pay post due library books, or treat someone to a pizza who has to work on Christmas.
People have helped at the church making donations to programs the church helps with, volunteering as the church host's the regional Bible quiz, delivering Angel trees and giving financially with special offerings to the Summit Academy in Warren and the benevolence ministry.
Weisman said plans are to continue the effort next year and do it throughout the year.
"It's important to let everyone know that God does care," he said.

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel's beloved Uncle Frank Potenza, a former police officer who became a frequent guest comedian on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, died Tuesday morning at the age of 77.
Kimmel, whose show is on hiatus until next month, Tweeted, "thank you for your kind words about a very kind man - my Uncle Frank - who passed away this morning."
Prior to engaging in hi-jinx with his nephew on the ABC late-night show, Potenza was a Korean War veteran who worked 20 years as a New York City police officer. He also worked for 20 years as a security guard at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
In 2003, Kimmel asked Potenza to move to Los Angeles to join his then-upstart talk show as security guard and on-air contributor.
"During his nine-year run on-air, 'Uncle Frank' contributed many great moments to Jimmy Kimmel Live!," the show said in a statement. "He was beloved by his co-workers and considered an Uncle to all. His kindness and humor will be missed by everyone he touched."

I said in last week's Finding Mudville column how James Island finds new and inventive and even innovative ways to lose to Berkeley. I was wrong.
I should have said Berkeley finds new and inventive ways to beat James Island.
At 9-0, the Stags don't so much find new ways to win, they just refuse to lose. In fact, they did the same thing during Wednesday's game against Hanahan, but I'll get to that in a minute.
First James Island.
Last Monday night was one of those "refuse to lose" moments.
I watched the collection of Trojan juniors and seniors standing along the third base line as the Stags starting lineup was introduced. This undefeated team, their Region 7AAA rivals, their primary obstacle standing in the way of a region championship after dropping from Class AAAA, they all stood there and watched.
This was a mistake in my book.
You don't watch the other team. You take care of your own business as the other team's job is to psyche you out. I think this is what happened to James Island.
Here's how the starting lineup sounded going out over the PA system, "First the infield, at first base, a junior, at second base, a sophomore, at shortstop a junior, at third base, a sophomore. In the outfield, in left field, a junior, in center field, a junior, in right field, a sophomore; behind the plate, a junior, and on the mound a senior."
The looks along the third base line said, "That's it? They're just sophomores and juniors? We're doomed."
Berkeley tallied just five hits but won 5-3.
The Stags were down 3-1 in bottom of the sixth when they loaded the bases on a pair of infield singles by Kyle Garrick and Zach Gonzales and a sacrifice/fielder's choice by Andrew Lockliear when Garrick beat the throw to third. Dylan Baker followed with a line-drive single up the middle. Garrick and Gonzales scored when the throw to the plate is late.
But Lockliear attempted to take third on the throw and the Trojan catcher chucked one a good two feet over the third baseman's head and down the leftfield line. Lockliear untangled himself from the scrum at third and scored standing up.
Baker doesn't break stride after rounding first on the base hit and came barreling along behind him with Landy Cox fantically waving him home.
There you have it, four runs scored on one play.
The Stags lead 5-3 and Gonzales slammed the door in the seventh.
Five hits. All singles. Classic small ball.
The same thing happened during the Hanahan game on Wednesday, only this time Berkeley scored twice to take the lead without hitting the ball out of the infield.
To cap off the week on Friday, three pitchers combined to chuck the Stags' second no-hitter of the season, a 20-1 thrashing of Stall. Joe Glauser, Bryce Kunkle and Josh Clarke teamed up to throw the no-hitter, K'ing 11 hitters between them.
These Stags are 9-0, 3-0 in Region 7AAA. Hilton Head comes to town on Wednesday.

Anne turned 45 last month.
She's amazed she made it.
Before dawn on an icy February morning last year, Anne was trolling for business on the corner of Kensington Avenue and Westmoreland Street. She had been on a crack bender for weeks and needed money.
A woman in a car pulled up. "Do you ever do it with girls?" the stranger asked.
Whatever, Anne thought, and slid into the passenger seat. She figured she could easily rip off the woman, then get the hell out of the car.
As the stranger turned down an alley, Anne glanced in the rearview mirror. A van pulled up behind them. Two men got out.

"It's one of those things where I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe it,' " the former New York Giants defensive end tells PEOPLE. "It was actually very amazing and very scary at the same time."
Though lots of pressure is put on the speech he'll have to give, the morning cohost and new Meta spokesperson – he's a big fan of the new products from the makers of Metamucil – plans to wing it when he steps on stage.
"I want to kind of go up there and be free and not worry about giving the speech of a lifetime," he says. "I think a lot of guys sit and write and write and write because everyone tries to outdo the other with the speeches. I don't care for that. I just want to make sure I thank the right people, make sure we all have a good time."
Despite feeling a bit of anxious energy before Saturday's ceremony, nerves are nothing new to the TV host.
"I get nervous before FOX NFL Sunday, I get nervous before Live!, I get nervous before GMA. I get nervous before I brush my teeth," Strahan jokes. "Everybody gets a little nervous. I'm no different than anyone else. I think the key is to shake that nervousness and turn it into production."

After nearly
30 years of space travel, NASA's space
shuttle Discovery will make its final flight today from Cape Canaveral,
was first launched in 1984, and is one of NASA's three operational orbiters in
the Space Shuttle fleet. It has spent 352 days in orbit and circled the Earth
5,628 times. It has also carried 246 crewmembers, which is more than any other
space vehicle has before. After years of International Space Station assembly
missions and research missions, Discovery is now the oldest orbiter in service,
and will be retiring after today's launch.
Today's launch, which will be Discovery's 39th
journey, was originally set for November 5 of last year, but the launch was
delayed due to vital repairs to the external tank's support beams. NASA
released the new launch date, February 24, just a few weeks ago.
has been a really remarkable vehicle for us and the program," said Jeff
Spaulding, NASA test director. "She still has a few more miles to go
before she sleeps, though."
final flight will carry a six-member crew for an 11-day mission. The mission
objective is to deliver a science rig, a storage module, and spare parts to the
international Space Station. In addition, Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot assistant, will be
traveling on the Discovery to embark on a permanent stay at the International
Space Station.
The six
crew members aboard the Discovery's final flight will be commander and veteran NASA
astronaut Steven Lindsey, NASA pilot Eric Boe, and mission specialists Alvin
Drew, Michael Barratt, Steven Bowen and Nicole Stott. Originally, astronaut Tim
Kopra was supposed to be apart of the six-member crew, but endured a bicycle
accident last month that has prevented him from joining the others. Bowen was a
last-minute substitute for Kopra.
At 7:25
a.m. EST (1225 GMT), NASA technicians began filling the Discovery's 15-story,
550,000 gallon tank, which is a three-hour process that consists of pumping
liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the tank. The launch is set to take
place at 4:50 p.m. EST (2150 GMT).
are really looking forward to a very action-packed, successful mission,"

addition to the Discovery's final launch, space shuttle Endeavour, which is
also one of the three operational orbiters at NASA, is set to embark on its
final launch as well on April 19.

Here we are in November already, and if you are anything like me, you still have work to do in the garden. We will have to hope for a few more nice days to get everything tidied and put away for the winter.
There is still time to plant bulbs, and you might be lucky enough to find some bargains as retailers try to move out the last of their supplies. The sooner you can get the bulbs into the ground, the better. Some bone meal in the planting hole will be helpful.
When I plant bulbs, I do not fiddle with those awkward tools sold for the purpose.
Most tulips, crocus and daffodils look better in clumps, so just dig a wider hole and place several of them in together.
Most of my tulips are several years old, and have reverted to red, and you know my feelings about red tulips, so they need to be replaced.
This is a good time to pay some attention to the compost pile. Give it a good turnover, and dig out some of that wonderful black and crumbly material to spread around the flower and vegetable beds.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program. Contact her at email@example.com.
Every summer, I get bonus plants from my pile as the seeds in the vegetable scraps put in there sprout and flourish in all that good, rich material. This year, I had several potato plants, a thriving cherry tomato vine and three acorn squash.
The experts will tell you to cover the pile (or put the lid on your bin), but I find that mine does just fine putting up with snow and ice just as the rest of us have to do. The freezing and thawing cycle that is bad for the perennial beds is just fine for the compost, and seems to hasten breakdown.
Usually in November, I remind people to keep watering trees and shrubs until the ground freezes. This year, that advice is not necessary because Mother Nature is doing a good job of watering without our help.
Enough, already!
As you remove garden debris, be sure you collect anything that was diseased or affected by pests. These hardy insects and fungi will lay low all through the winter, getting ready for a new offensive in the spring.
I have a couple of saucers by the back door that I inspect every day, and I always find baby black slugs, wireworms and an assortment of little scurrying things that all meet their end in a bucket of salty water.
Powdery mildew and rust took a toll on the flowerbed that houses my treasured black hollyhocks, and I am going to give up on them and allow the ornamental grasses to spread.
I bought a new hose this summer after leaving the old one out all winter last year. Naturally, it has sprung leaks. Even though I only used it twice this year, I did remember to drain it and take it into the garage for winter storage.
There were a few other tools still outside when I started on my final clean-up. I found a long-lost favorite knife in the compost pile, and these things were cleaned and stored.
And finally, if you are planning to move any perennials, you may just have time to get this accomplished before the snow flies and the ground freezes. Dig as large a root ball as possible, and have the new planting hole ready because the roots need as little time as possible exposed to the air.
They should settle in the new spot for their dormant cycle and be ready for new growth in the spring.
Very optimistically, I brought in pots of bay, thyme, parsley, rosemary and sage, which are living on the kitchen window sill for a while. I know from experience they will not survive all winter, but I will be able to have fresh herbs for a few weeks.
And who knows? This may be the year for a miracle.

Updated: January 18, 2011
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is a Muslim community organization established in 1971 and based in Jamaica, New York. The organization, which operates 22 regional offices in the U.S., says it "seeks to obtain the pleasure of Allah (SWT) through working for the establishment of Islam in all spheres of life."
ICNA is affiliated with a number of mosques and Islamic centers around the U.S., which provide various educational programs and services to local Muslim communities. ICNA is closely aligned with the Muslim American Society (MAS), organizing joint regional conferences with MAS throughout the year.
These conventions, which attract thousands of participants, have featured known anti-Semites and provided a platform for extremist rhetoric. At the 2010 ICNA-MAS convention in Rosemont, Illinois, several speakers delivered anti-Semitic remarks, including portraying the Jews as having undue influence on the U.S. government and linking Judaism to theft and oppression. One year earlier, the 2009 ICNA-MAS convention in Chicago served as a forum for religious scholars and political activists to rail against Jews, call for the eradication of the state of Israel and accuse the United States government as waging a war against Muslims at home and abroad.
The December 2009 convention was designated by ICNA, MAS and other organizations as a venue to begin the effort to combat radicalization within the Muslim community. This effort was announced in the wake of the arrests in Pakistan of five Muslim-American students from Virginia for allegedly attempting to join a terrorist group. The five youths, who were sentenced to 10 years in prison by Pakistan's anti-terrorism court in June 2010 for criminal conspiracy and funding a banned terrorist organization, attended the ICNA Islamic Center in Alexandria and participated in a youth group, the Young Muslims of Virginia (YMVA), affiliated with the center.
Young Muslims (YM), a national division of ICNA dedicated to serving the needs of Muslim American youth, provides programming and educational materials. Some of these materials are infused with overt anti-Semitism and expressions in support for terror. YM's Web site features an online resource library with several books by radical ideologues who advocate violent jihad, including five books by Sheik Yusuf Qaradawi and another five by Syed Abul 'Ala Maududi.
Local chapters of ICNA have also attracted anti-Semitic speakers to their organizational meetings and fundraisers. The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of ICNA invited Imam Amir Abdul Malik Ali of the anti-Semitic Sabiqun movement to its fundraiser on June 20, 2010.
Anti-Semitism and extremism have also marked many anti-Israel rallies endorsed by ICNA around the U.S. where protestors engaged in offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, as well as expressed support for terror. On January 3, 2009, ICNA endorsed a rally in New York City, which featured signs that read: "Israel: the Fourth Reich" and "Holocaust by Holocaust Survivors." (See the video here.) Protesters chanted numerous anti-Semitic slogans, including "Palestine is our Land, the Jews are our Dogs," "From the River to the Sea Palestine is Arab [land]," and "Shame, Shame USA! Bush, How Many Jews are in the Government?"

And you might not even know why they are sticking out at the moment, but the hairs on your arm stand up and you just know.
This happened to me on Sunday, and during a reading of Psalm 23 of all things! I mean, come on. That's such an easy set of verses. I already know what it says.
But it was new to me that day.
At the very beginning I read this:
Psalm 23:3
He restores my soul.
I glanced at the same verse in my Message Bible, and this stung my heart and lifted my tired shoulders:
Psalm 23:3
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
At that very moment in time, these were the exact words I needed to hear, and didn't know it. But He did. 'Cause He knows me best.
I guess I just thought this Psalm is for beginners, or funerals! I felt like I was listening to the 23rd Psalm for the very 1st time. I read through the rest of that Psalm and felt every word hug me and cause tears to burn my eyes.
Is it really that easy? Yes, it is.

The pre-teen girls are in high spirits after their late-afternoon snack as they quickly fill up two activity tables and part of another in a small meeting room in the William C. Baird Boys & Girls Club on Bailey Avenue.
They're here for Pretty as a Daisy, a mentoring program that aims to give them guidance and support at this junction between childhood and adolescence and to build their capacities for self-expression and self-esteem.
One of the girls admires mentor Stephanie Peete's big silver hoop earrings, and Peete, who has a passion for fashion, passes one over for a closer look. Marilyn Gibson, the mentor in charge of Pretty as a Daisy, determines that everyone's there and tells them to all hold hands for the prayer.
Then she passes out black-covered notebooks to her chattering charges. No pencils? No problem. The third mentor, Jackie Brown, gets some from the club's office, and soon the girls are writing down lists of what they're grateful for.
Then comes the hard part. They have to stand up and read them in front of the group.
After that, the mentors spread out a bunch of red felt Christmas stockings for the group to decorate with decals and shiny, glittery goo.
The stockings, the glittery goo, the cupcakes – the money for these all comes from the mentors themselves. They have no outside support for their programs – Pretty as a Daisy and Beauty Mark, the session for high schoolers that immediately follows. The mentors started the programs as an outgrowth of their involvement with WAVE, Women Against Violence Everywhere.
"For girls, the culture's the problem," says Gibson, an auditor for the Internal Revenue Service who served in the Army in the Gulf War. "Girls are getting more violent, and there are more young girls in gangs. I think a lot of people underestimate how effective mentoring can be to help them."
For Peete, who graduated from Canisius College four years ago and did social work before going into retail management, the inspiration for mentoring was her mother.
"My mom always told me to fix what I don't like," she says. "And at Canisius, they tell you to get an education so you can serve other people."
Brown, who used to work in City Hall, is a disciplinarian and relishes her role as the "enforcer." She has worked with people dealing with violence at home. "My thing is helping," she said.
"Jackie is good at conflict resolution," Peete says. "I'm very good at fashion, skin care and diet. A lot of girls in the inner city don't know a lot about it. And Marilyn is very good with the younger girls and with spirituality."
"All of us have been mentors for years," says Gibson, who works with young people in Elim Christian Fellowship and does mentoring at the Holy Cross Center on the Lower West Side. "We're like big sisters, literally. We'd like to expand it to the north, south, east and west, the four corners of Buffalo. There's such a need. They don't focus on girls. It's always the boys."
After the Beauty Mark session begins with another circle of prayer, a new set of notebooks – journals – come out, and two new mentors arrive. They are Kimberly Childers, who is finishing her master's degree online, and Shantee Perkins of Starr Connextions, a motivational speaker who is DJ Starr from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday on WBNY 91.3 FM.
The girls write down what they're thankful for and then read what they've written. An Emerson High School student says she wants to be in fashion and the theater and to live in New York City and Paris. She would also like to get married by her 30th birthday in 2027.
"You're all invited," she says.

"I would like to apologize to my fans, teammates, coaches, marketing partners and the entire US Soccer and Seattle Reign FC communities for my involvement in a highly unfortunate incident this past weekend," Solo, 32, wrote Thursday on Facebook.
"I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct. I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed."
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant – who police say hit her sister and her 17-year-old nephew while intoxicated at her sister's house outside Seattle last Saturday – spoke of her family directly in the apology.
"I love my family dearly," she wrote. "We, like all families, have our challenges but my sincere hope is that we are able to resolve this situation as a family. Adversity has always made us stronger and I know this situation will be no different."
The Seattle Reign FC and the U.S. Women's National Team goalkeeper also thanked fans for their support, and added: "I am confident in the legal process and believe my name will be cleared."

Call of Duty: Black Ops Review
Call of Duty: Black Ops is a far more accomplished experience than Treyarch's previous efforts.
Call of Duty is obsessed with fear. But while Modern Warfare and its sequel exist as a paean to America's current socio-political nightmares, Black Ops chooses to tap into the nation's Sixties terrors: Cuba, the Vietnam War and, primarily, the ever-looming threat of Soviet conflict.
Part of Treyarch's current problem, then, is the format's inherent need for escalation. In a series defined by its rigid spectacle, and one that's already detonated a nuclear missile in your face and had you squeeze the trigger during a controversial airport massacre, there was always going to be a certain onus on the developer to come up with the next headline-grabbing scenario. And they certainly give it their all: within thirty minutes of Black Ops' start you've already shot a slow-mo bullet through Fidel Castro's noggin and escaped a Russian gulag. The series' most precious tactic is to whip its audience into stimuli overload with ceaseless audio-visual spectacles; while Black Ops offers up its own distinctive take on the formula, it's ultimately no different.
It comes as no surprise that the game leads you with gusto through its artificial scenarios, with mid-mission cutscenes herding you from each meticulously designed set-piece to the next while avoiding - though briefly acknowledging on occasion- the dramatic constraints of things like commuting, or the unpalatable taste of moments where things aren't exploding.
Treyarch manages to successfully avoid the jarring disconnection endemic of its previous work by, ironically, focusing on the same whooshing cinematic segues which World at War employed with such abandon. But where World at War's cast were lifeless husks for the player to fleetingly inhabit, its cutscenes far more concerned with style over any tangible substance, Black Ops revolves around a small cast of characters, going to extreme lengths to burn their names and faces into the minds of the player.
Most of the campaign is set in 1968, though events are primarily told via the flashback sequences of protagonist super-soldier Alex Mason, who in turn spends the game strapped to a chair while being pumped full of experimental drug cocktails. Briefing screens have been replaced with a grisly-voiced mystery interrogator barking questions at Mason, who then promptly recounts the sequence for him and, by extension, the player.
Much like the rudimentary stove I used throughout most of university, Black Ops' 15-level campaign takes a fair while to heat up - with some rote corridor-blasting exemplifying the initial stages - but it's also blistering hot when it hits its stride. Perhaps most interesting are the seeds of doubt Treyarch plants: Mason's skewed take on events are shown as foggy and imprecise, and his unreliable narration convinces neither the mystery interrogator nor the player. Unlocking the actuality of Mason's situation becomes the thrust of the experience, and when the curtain is finally lifted the conclusion is satisfying though predictable.
The supporting cast features Ed Harris as spooky spook Hudson, who at one point actually puts on a pair of sunglasses to show that it's time for action, and there's also the excellent return of Gary Oldman's beleaguered and world-weary Viktor Reznov - the requisite decent-ish Russian character to prove they're Not All Bad. This neatly brings us to the pantomime villains of the piece: a pair of (surprise, surprise) nasty Russians - Dragovich and Kravtchenko - and an unrepentant Nazi.
Though many of its narrative progressions are absurd, anchoring the proceedings to an identifiable protagonist helps to ferry the story onwards. Mason and his frequent travelling companion, Woods, are routinely subjected to torturous events: dangerous scenarios slice open muddied skin, knees buckle under the strain of exertion and blunt trauma is applied with alarming regularity, all accompanied with performance-captured expressions of pain and audible grunts. Their pain is definitely felt.
In forcefully unlocking the secrets buried within Mason's head (including the most important string of numbers since Lost ended) the game, like its politically-charged ancestry, actively trades in sentiments the USA would often rather not think about. Vietnam is a major stop-off point, for instance, and while the startling sights and sounds of a burning Hue city are remarkably impressive, those shocking images can't quite muster up the same evocative weight of Modern Warfare 2's suburban America reduced to rubble.

(N.) A network that was trash from the beginning and is rotting garbage today. They actually used to have alright shows up until like, 2001. After that, nearly every damn show turned into the exact same thing! (young, black female or male in the city with sassy, and comical, yet unfunny friends.) And for some reason, each one is unseemingly worse than the last. How long will it take until they premiere a lineup that's as bad as bad TV can get? I say, a year.
The lineup of BAD shows on UPN: Parkers, One-on-One, Girlfriends, Half-in-Half, All-of-Us, Abby, Buffy, Next Top Model, Enterprise, Twilight Zone, Rock-Me-Baby, The Mullets, and WWE Smackdown.
