mAbs have provided new, effective treatments for patients with multiple diseases ranging from cancer to autoimmune disorders. More than 20 monoclonals including murine, chimeric, humanized, and human antibodies have been approved by the FDA. Estimates of total worldwide antibody sales in 2008 range from $25.1 billion to $32 billion, and mAbs now command between 25% to 30% of the global biologic drug market.
Monoclonals continue to pay off handsomely for the companies that develop them. For example, Roche's Herceptin, sanctioned for Her-2 neu positive breast cancers, raked in about $4.8 billion (CHF 5.1 million) in global sales during 2008. Even at the development stage, mAbs are great assets to leverage in deal-making; GenMab received $459 million up front through cash and an equity investment from GlaxoSmithKline in December 2006 for its then late-stage mAb. The total value of the deal was $2.1 billion, and GenMab received a $23 million milestone fee most recently when Arzerra gained accelerated approval for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The financial potential of mAbs may, however, be limited most by delivery-related issues. Large doses are often required, particularly for chronic conditions. Couple this with the fact that mAbs can only be delivered intravenously and you get a recipe for potential administration-related side effects. Not to mention that pricing for these drugs is staggering.
Improved administration could enhance uptake and compliance, in turn padding a company's bottom line. With the complete takeover of Genentech, which focused on mAbs, Roche seems to have turned its attention to facilitate deliverability of these drugs.
Earlier this month the company decided to spend $181 million or so (CHF 190 million) on two European manufacturing facilities to develop a patient-friendly device that could allow the subcutaneous (SC) self-administration of its biological anticancer drugs. Additionally, it paid Halozyme Therapeutics $20 million up front and agreed to another $581 million in milestones in December 2006 for exclusive, global rights to the firm's delivery technology.
Herceptin Dosing and Pricing
The market for Herceptin has already expanded beyond breast cancer. On January 28, Roche won EC approval of the drug in Her2-positive metastatic stomach cancer. About 16% of patients with stomach cancer have tumors expressing high levels of Her-2, according to the company.
In general, mAbs require the delivery of between 100 mg and 1 g of protein per dose. Because the high end of formulation concentrations for mAbs is in the range of 50 mg/mL, treatments commonly require the administration of 2–20 mL through IV infusion, which has to be performed in a clinical or hospital setting.
For breast cancer treatment, a year's course of Herceptin costs over $38,000, dosing generally takes 60–90 minutes, with follow up and maintenance administration sessions requiring 30-minute sessions twice weekly. Herceptin carries a black box warning partly related to its mode of administration, which can result in infusion reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Exploring the Subcutaneous Route
Roche has thus been conducting Phase III studies to determine the efficacy of subcutaneously administered Herceptin to provide both convenient administration and potentially avoid reactions associated with infusions. The formulation was developed using Halozyme's Enhanze technology. Dosing of the first patient, in October 2009, triggered a $5 million fee to Halozyme.
Halozyme's Enhanze technology is based on recombinant human PH20 (rHUPH20), a recombinant version of human hyaluronidase. This naturally occurring enzyme degrades hyaluronic acid, a space-filling, gel-like substance that is a major component of tissues throughout the body, such as skin and cartilage. The PH20 enzyme digests hyaluronic acid to temporarily break down the gel and facilitate the penetration and diffusion of other drugs and fluids that are injected under the skin or in the muscle.
Halozyme says that co-injection of a drug with rHUPH20 allows administration of up to five times more volume than normally feasible with subcutaneously injected drugs, or 5–10 mL versus 1–2 mL. This may "allow the conversion of intravenously administered pharmaceuticals to more desirable local routes," making it possible for patients with chronic diseases to self-administer these medicines.
The current clinical trial will not use the device that Roche is also working on, but the company plans to have the device available for use with the new SC formulation, assuming it gets approved. The production line in Kaiseraugst, Germany, will provide the supply for clinical studies and market launch. A full-scale automated production line in Mannheim will deliver commercial supply to markets.
Halozyme investor relations director, Robert Uhl, told GEN that the subcutaneous delivery device would be "about the size of a cell phone." He said that it would come preloaded with the Herceptin-PH20 mixture for one-time use and would then have to be returned for re-fill and re-use. "The patient can put it on the abdomen, push a button, and the infusion is complete within five minutes," Uhl explained.
The technology would allow subcutaneous administration of up to 5–20 mL without causing discomfort to the patients, according to Uhl. He pointed out that trips to infusion centers can be very difficult and emotionally trying for patients who often have to wait to be paged for their infusions, adding to their anxiety.
To date, one preclinical study in mice supports the use of PH20 to facilitate subcutaneous antibody delivery. This mouse study compared intravenous and subcutaneous administration of Remicade alone to its subcutaneous administration with PH20. Remicade, an anti-TNF antibody approved for Crohn disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, is currently delivered to patients intravenously at one to three month intervals. Study results showed that subcutaneous administration with PH20 dramatically improved the bioavailability of the antibody and exhibited pharmakokinetic profiles more similar to intravenous dosing.
Should the Herceptin/PH20 clinical trial prove successful, the PH20 drug-delivery enhancing technology may overcome clinical risks and inconvenience associated with intravenous antibody infusions for cancer treatment and facilitate antibody use in chronic diseases where repeated administration is required.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls teenager was arraigned in Niagara County Court Monday on charges of killing 5-year-old Isabella S. Tennant of Cheektowaga in an apparent strangulation in late August, while a friend faces an indictment accusing him of helping to dispose of the girl's dead body in a stolen trash tote.
John R. Freeman Jr., 16, of Sixth Street, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
Tyler S. Best, 18, of Barnard Street, Buffalo, pleaded not guilty to tampering with physical evidence and first-degree hindering prosecution.
Best was arraigned first and left the courtroom before John was brought in.
Judge Matthew J. Murphy III denied bail for both teens, who already had been held in the Niagara County Jail without bail, as ordered at their first appearance in Niagara Falls City Court.
John faces a maximum sentence of 25 year to life in prison if he is convicted. Best faces a maximum sentence of seven years.
Murphy also issued a gag order, barring attorneys from discussing anything but scheduling with the media.
However, he refused a request from Best's attorney, James J. Faso Jr., to close the courtroom on the grounds that both defendants are eligible for youthful offender status. He also permitted the presence of photographers and TV cameramen.
"This is a case of public interest," Murphy said.
Isabella was killed on the night of Aug. 26 in the home of her great-grandparents, Sharon and Hank Lascelle, on Sixth Street, a short distance from John's home.
John, who turns 17 Thursday, was regarded as a family friend trustworthy enough that Sharon Lascelle felt able to go to bed and leave Isabella in his care, the great-grandmother told investigators.
Best, who had lived with the Freemans for about a year, told police that John told him he had killed Isabella and needed help to dispose of the body.
Police said the pair stole a wheeled garbage tote from a neighboring home and placed the body inside. The girl's body was found in the tote in an alley between Third and Fourth streets.
The girl's mother, Crystal Walker of Cheektowaga, who did not attend the arraignment, had left Isabella with her great-grandparents while she worked at a bar on nearby Niagara Street in Niagara Falls.
The Lascelles called police the next morning to report the child missing. Shortly thereafter, Best came to Police Headquarters with his mother and led officers to the alley where the trash tote was left.
Best is to appear in court Dec. 6 for a pretrial hearing with Faso, who is representing him as a member of the county's conflict defender staff.

XIAMEN, China, 11 September 2011 – Over 400 potential investors took part in a China-Africa Investment Symposium organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) at the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) that ended in Xiamen today.
UNIDO Director-General Kandeh K. Yumkella, who took part in the event, said that the Symposium was designed to further partnerships at both business and government levels, promote investment opportunities, highlight and address challenges that may hinder the flow of quality Chinese investments to Africa, and to shed light on investment success stories.
The Symposium brought together Chinese investors and policy-makers and representatives of African investment promotion agencies, as well as policy-makers. They discussed trends of Chinese investment in Africa, particularly with respect to activities that add value to African raw materials and provide wealth creating opportunities.
Yumkella praised the China International Fair for Investment and Trade for "driving international investment flows", adding that it had "become a major part of China's global economic strategy."
According to the organizers, delegations attending CIFIT signed over 400 investment projects worth USD 21.45 billion this year. Over the fair's 14 previous years, more than 14,300 investment projects worth about USD 100 billion have been signed.
CIFIT if a major forum for investment negotiation and investment policy promotion, coordinated development of national and regional economy, as well as economic and trade exchanges across the Taiwan Strait.

LOCKPORT – Auto dealer Charles Heinrich sees opportunity in the anticipated closure of the Niagara County construction and demolition debris landfill.
Heinrich went before the city Planning Board on Monday with a proposal to erect a building material recycling facility on Oakhurst Street.
The board did not act on the request and said it was willing to continue the discussion at a special meeting, which also would constitute a public hearing, at a later date.
The Planning Board's approval is only one of many hoops Heinrich would have to jump through to make Lockport Recycling Center a reality.
The Common Council would need to approve a special-use permit; the Building Inspection Department would have to issue an operational permit; and the state Department of Environmental Conservation would have to grant stormwater control and operational permits. The latter would be considered under the same regulatory section as landfill permits.
Keith Pellerin of EnSol Environmental Solutions, a Niagara Falls firm that drew up the plans, said Heinrich already operates a business called Heinrich Services, which involves the rental of roll-off containers.
"In the light of the county closing their landfill, he sees a business opportunity," John Battaglia of EnSol told the board.
"Why would you build this in the city?" asked Howard Luff, a Planning Board member. "Why not build it out in the country somewhere?"
The 16.7-acre site is zoned for heavy industry, and Battaglia said that made it attractive, as well as the fact that Oakhurst Street is "an area that's already got truck traffic and industrial-type activity."
Also, Pellerin said, Lockport figures to be an area with plenty of debris to handle after the county construction and demolition, or C&D, landfill shuts down.
County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz recommended that move last June, although it didn't become public knowledge until October. The County Legislature is considering the shutdown of the Refuse Disposal District's last active landfill, on the Lockport Bypass, less than a mile from Heinrich's site.
Pellerin said the Oakhurst Street plan would be constructed in two phases. The first would include only an unloading and sorting ramp and a scale house. Phase 2 would include a 100-by-100-foot building, 35 feet high.
"This material will sit on a concrete floor or in a truck," Battaglia said.
Pellerin said no material processing is planned on the Oakhurst Street site; the recycling would take place elsewhere, and materials that can't be reused would be shipped to cogeneration power plants for burning.
He said that although only one acre of the 16.7 is to be used, no changes in plans would be allowed without state permission.
Planning Board member David C. Chamberlain was worried that hazardous materials might be found in the debris and that the storage containers might not prevent material from blowing away on windy days.
Board member Donald Swanson said, "I believe some of that material being trucked to that C&D landfill is hazardous material, whether they know it or not."

This thesis comprises two parts. In part I (chapters 2 - 6) the activated sludge processfundamentals, modifications, process kinetics and its capabilities are discussed. In addition domestic, textile and tannery waste water characteristics and their effects on activated sludge treatment, alone or when they are combined, is briefly presented. Besides consideration is given on managerial and economic aspect of combined treatment. Part II (chapters 7 - 11) is an original work of the author on combined treatment of tannery and/or textile waste waters with domestic sewage in an activated sludge model. Four tests were conducted. Domestic sewage alone, textile and domestic, tannery and domestic and textile, tannery and domestic. Upto 30 % of the industrial waste waters were mixed with domestic sewage in the two cases while when all were mixed 60% industrial to 40 % domestic sewage was reached. In all cases, up to the proportion described, good substrate removal and complete nitrification were obtained. Some problems, like poor settleability, were encountered during the experiment. These are dealt in the text. However, these problems did not so much affect the performance of the process and good results were still obtained. Finally few oxygen uptake rate tests made for toxicity and inhibition indicated that both waste waters can sometimes betoxic and some times not depending on their strength. Still, up to 30 % both were found to be non-toxic for any strength. /Kir09

A popular college drinking game that is similar to "Edward 40 Hands", only the difference is that instead of fourties, you hold two bottles of MD 20/20 aka "Mad Dog". The rules of the game are that you always have a bottle in each hand (With the option of duct taping them to your hand so nobody backs out), and you HAVE to finish both bottles.
Jim - "Dude, let's play some Edward 40 Hands tonight!"
DJ - "Naw man, I'm not feeling beer. Let's get sexy drunk off some wine!"
Jim - "Even better! We can do both! Let's play some Dog Paws!"

WBB Starts Conference Play 2-0 With Win at NIU
DEKALB, Ill. - For the second straight game Nathalie Fontaine secured the victory for the Cardinals with a layup to give Ball State the 57-51 win at Northern Illinois Sunday evening at the Convocation Center.
With the win the Cardinals improve to 5-10 on the season with a 2-0 start in Mid-American Conference action while the Huskies fall to 5-9 overall and 0-2 in the MAC. The last time Ball State started league play with a 2-0 start was the 2008-09 season.
Ball State led the majority of the second half until NIU would go on a 7-0 run after the Cardinals had led 43-38 at the 12:26 mark to make it a 45-43 contest. Soon after that, the Cardinals regained control after putting a lot defensive pressure on the Huskies. A jumper from Fontaine and a free throw from junior guard Brandy Woody, put Ball State back up by six (53-47) with 4:18 left to play. The Huskies came within two (53-51) with 1:22 on the clock but Fontaine's back-to-back baskets sealed the win for BSU.For the game, Fontaine tied her career high with an 18 point performance. Junior forward Katie Murphy had 12 while Woody ended the night with 10.
It was a defensive battle in the first half for both teams, after Ball State opened the contest with a 10-3 lead over Northern Illinois. The Huskies then put together an 8-0 run to tie the game at 10-10 with 11:27 remaining in the half.
After that both teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half, the Cardinals went ahead 27-25 after Woody hit a three pointer with 36 seconds left but Satavia Taylor knocked down two from the charity stripe for NIU to end the half tied 27-2 7with Ball State.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action Wednesday on the road when it plays Bowling Green at the Stroh Center with a 7 p.m. tipoff.

When Christmas Day dawned all over the state, high school wrestlers were given a huge gift. And the gift, oddly enough, was from the PIAA, which has taken its share of criticism because of rule changes in recent years.
Usually, the two-pound weight allowance, which allows a wrestler to weigh two pounds over the weight they're wrestling at, begins on Jan. 15. But this year, it began on Christmas.
Some coaches won't like it because it gives kids with weight issues an easier road, and it allows wrestlers to drop down to the next weight earlier than in previous years.
But, it says here anything that gives wrestlers a break is a very good thing.
Last year, a weight was cut out of the middle of the lineup, where most wrestlers are positioned, and added to the upper weights. Also last year, state finalists had to share the same spotlight as those wrestling for third, fifth and seventh place at the Giant Center. Both changes, especially the finals change, were bad ideas.
This one is a welcome one for wrestlers. They sacrifice, cut down on meals and run and train to keep the weight off - sometimes up until it's time for them to weigh in - just to step on the mat and do what they love to do.
Another rule change this involves stalling. When someone is hit with a third stall call, his opponent gets two points and the choice of position on the next restart. That change was more of a gift for more aggressive wrestlers and those who hate seeing stalling. We'll see if it prevents stalling.
There were a couple more Christmas gifts under the tree like:
n The Bedford-Chestnut Ridge match. As always, the backyard rivals put on a display of ability, emotion and patience, and, of course, the unexpected happened with Ridge's Bradie Bollman spladling Bedford's Michael Brett, pinning him in 19 seconds and helping the Lions win, 39-32.
We'll very likely get treated to another match between Ridge and Bedford, who are the top two teams in the Mirror rankings, in the District 5 Duals on Feb. 2. Heck, they could be the top teams in the Thomas Tournament a week earlier. Ridge made up a lot of ground on Bedford last year. Bedford won't have to make up that much ground the next time.
By the way, check out the rankings. There are some very deep weights and will change a lot.
n Some good reading. I would suggest Tom Elling's Wrestling Handbook, and a subscription to the Pennsylvania Wrestling Newsmagzine. Elling's book has been reduced to 355 pages, but it still has a massive amount of information and photos. To buy it, go to his state web site.
PWN, owned by former Hollidaysburg coach Joe Baranik, includes reports on districts throughout the state, college wrestling reports, profiles on some of the best wrestlers and even junior high rankings. To get it, go to www.pawrestling.net or send $26.95 to PWN, 409 Mill Road, Duncansville, PA, 16635 with your address information and e-mail.
Altons in trouble
It's not clear how Penn State coach Cael Sanderson will handle the situation with Andrew and Dylan Alton.
The twins, who graduated from Central Mountain and are both starting for the Nittany Lions, were cited for disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and harassment in Lock Haven last Friday. According to a Centre Daily Times report, a male and female victim received minor injuries.
Andrew Alton is 8-0 and is ranked fifth at 149, while Dylan Alton is 7-2 and ranked fifth at 157.

The University at Buffalo may have started the season 2-11, but as of Thursday night, the Bulls are undefeated.
The UB women used a strong finish to win their Mid-American Conference opener, 60-53, over Northern Illinois before 1,104 at Alumni Arena.
Freshman Mackenzie Loesing led UB (3-11) with 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including two three-pointers, while sophomore Kristen Sharkey had 17 points. Junior Cherridy Thornton was 1 of 10 from the field and finished with nine points.
UB took a 24-18 halftime lead on Northern Illinois (5-9), which closed to within 38-35. UB responded with a 18-6 run to go up, 56-41. NIU closed to within five with 31 seconds left but UB wrapped up the win by going 4 for 4 at the line the rest of the way.
Canisius junior Jamie Ruttle gave the Golden Griffins (5-9) the lead with two free throws, then made sure they kept it with a blocked shot in the final seconds in a 51-50 win at Rider. It was Canisius' third victory in four games as it improved to 2-1 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
In a Kids' Day game attended by 815 in Alumni Gymnasium in Lawrenceville, N.J., Canisius trailed, 50-49, when Ruttle was fouled in the post with 16 seconds left.
Rider (6-8, 1-2 MAAC) advanced the ball into the frontcourt and called its final timeout with 11 seconds to play. The Broncs got the ball into the lane to senior Caitlin Bopp, who backed toward the left-side of the lane, turned around and had her shot blocked by Ruttle. Canisius senior Allison Braun (five steals, eight points on 4-of-6 shooting) grabbed the ball and dribbled out the clock.
Niagara (7-7) also improved to 2-1 in MAAC play and evened its overall mark with a 54-46 victory at St. Peter's, which remained winless (0-14, 0-3). Sophomore Meghan McGuiness had 16 points for NU, which took a 10-point lead at the half (31-21) and led by at least four the rest of the way.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Despite a furious comeback effort in the third period, the San Antonio Rampage (2-5-0-0) were unable to erase a three-goal deficit and ultimately fell to the Oklahoma City Barons (4-4-0-1), 5-4, on 80's Night at AT&T Center in front of 6,237 fans.
Four different Rampage players lit the lamp and Vincent Trocheck (one goal, one assist), Greg Rallo (one goal, one assist) and Garrett Wilson (two assists) had multi-point games, but were overshadowed by Barons forward Linus Omark, who tallied four goals on the night.
The newly formed line of Trocheck, Wilson and Bobby Butler combined for two goals and four assists, along with a combined plus-3 rating.
Butler got the first tilt between the divisional rivals off to a quick start, scoring his first of the season just 1:06 into regulation. Receiving a feed from Wilson, Butler dangled around an Oklahoma City defender and slipped the puck past Barons netminder Richard Bachman to give the Rampage an early lead.
The Rampage continued to pressure the Barons net early in the game, tallying six shots within the first three minutes of action and 12 of the first 15 shots.
Despite the early shot discrepancy, Barons forward Anton Lander let a drop pass go to Omark, who ripped one past Dov Grumet-Morris to tie the game at 3:53.
The teams traded penalties for the remainder of the first, with Oklahoma City cashing in on the man advantage at 16:15. With both Trocheck and Jed Ortmeyer in the box, Philip Larsen fed a cross-ice pass to Omark, who put it home for his second of the night, capitalizing on the 5-on-3 opportunity.
Omark's power play tally broke the Rampage's streak of 15-straight penalty kills at home to start the season.
Just over six minutes into the middle frame, Trocheck tied the game at 2-2. Wilson fed a perfect centering pass right above the crease, catching Trocheck perfectly and allowing him to rifle it high glove side. The goal marked Trocheck's third of the season.
Late in the second period, Barons forward Philip Larsen let one fly from the circles, and the puck caught the blade of Matt Ford's stick, tipping it past Grumet-Morris for the third Barons goal of the night.
Omark, already with two on the game, was awarded a penalty shot with 2:42 left in the second period. He put it home to widen the Barons' lead to two, and completed the hat trick. The goal marked the first time in team history that the Rampage have given up a penalty-shot goal in back-to-back games.
Seven and a half minutes into the third, Omark struck again. The Barons had the 5-on-3 advantage, and Omark put one past Grumet-Morris just as the penalty to Caruso timed out, giving Oklahoma City the 5-2 lead.
Omark's goal, his seventh of the season and fourth of the night, marked the third time in the last four years that an opposing player has posted four goals on the Rampage in a single game.
Down three with just under seven minutes to go in regulation, Quinton Howden found the back of the net for the Rampage for his first of the year. Picking up a pass from Rallo, Howden powered his way around Bachman, effectively cutting the Barons' lead to two.
San Antonio was given a power-play chance, and for the first time all night, they capitalized with the extra man. Drew Shore had the puck down low, and fed it up to Rallo, who blasted it from the high slot to put the Rampage within one with 2:38 left in the third.
Rallo's goal was his first of the season, and gives him eight goals in 26 career games against the Barons.
Despite the late offensive push and an extra skater on the ice in place of Grumet-Morris, the Rampage were unable to come back, and the Barons took the first of two this weekend at AT&T Center, 5-4.
The Rampage went 1-for-5 on the power play, while the Barons were 3-for-8 with the man advantage. Oklahoma City also had the edge in shots, 39-33.

The Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration (BEVR) office is providing information to residents who will vote in the 1st Congressional District Special Republican Runoff Election.
A Republican Runoff election will be held on Tuesday, April 2, and polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Registered voters who cannot vote in person may be eligible to vote by absentee ballot. Absentee ballots may be obtained from the Board of Elections and Voter Registration Office in Charleston County. Citizens may call 843-744-8683, or send an email to email@example.com to inquire about the availability of absentee ballots.
State law prohibits voters from voting in more than one primary election held on the same day. Voters may not vote in both parties' runoffs. Furthermore, voters who voted in one party's primary are not eligible to vote in the other party's runoff election. However, voters who did not vote in either primary on March 19 may vote in either party's runoff on April 2. All District 1 voters will fall into one of these three categories:
1) Those who voted in the Democratic Primary are not eligible to vote in the Republican Runoff (there is no Democratic Runoff)
2) Those who voted in the Republican Primary are eligible to vote in the Republican Runoff.
3) Those who did not vote in either the Democratic or Republican Primary are eligible to vote in the Republican Runoff.
On Thursday, April 4, 2013, the Charleston County Board of Canvassers will hold a hearing at 10 a.m. to determine the validity of all provisional ballots casts in the primary election, and to certify election results in the Republican Runoff. This hearing will be held at the elections office, 4367 Headquarters Road, North Charleston.
The list of precincts and polling places can be found online at http://charlestoncounty.org/Departments/BEVR/NOTICE%20OF%20ELECTION%20-%20US%20House%20District%201%20March%2019%202013.pdf.
Voters who have any questions regarding where they are supposed to vote or if they live in Congressional District 1 may contact the Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration office at 843-744-8683 or visit https://info.scvotes.sc.gov/eng/voterinquiry/VoterInformationRequest.aspx?PageMode=VoterInfo
The other important change for this runoff election (it was also in effect for the primary election) is that Photo ID is in effect for Charleston County, and BEVR Executive Director Joseph Debney said the county office has only seen about 200 people come in to get IDs. He wants to make sure everyone is aware of the new change, and is striving to get out information that the S.C. Election Commission has provided.

It includes five problem sets, three past exams, a detailed reading list and course description. The course aims to cover "the basic tools and some topics of current interest" in international trade and finance.
International trade theory and policy analysis is an online textbook by Steven M. Suranovic. It comes with short-answer questions and quizzes. Links from this page go to the table of contents, a course syllabus, problem sets and an Information for Instructors page in which Suranovic argues for the use of this site as a course textbook.
This syllabus in .pdf has a list of readings relevant to a graduate course in International Economics as taught by Pranab Bardhan at Berkeley in 2004.
This is a support website for the teaching of Wei-Choun Yu, Assistant Professor of Economics at Winona State University. It contains teaching materials for Macroeconomics, International Economics and Forecasting Methods. The individual course pages include syllabi, assignments, lecture slides and other materials.

Not needing any charm after coming off of two successful years, the Central PA Pets Expo is back for a third time.
The features at the expo to be held at the Blair County Convention Center on Sunday, include Altoona Area Kennel Association demonstrations, educational seminars and nonprofit shelters and rescue organizations.
The show's first two years welcomed about 4,500 visitors each year, said Amy Hanna, the show director and the Mirror's marketing manager.

The owners of cocker spaniels Dexter and Zoe, Carol Bryant and Val Sorensen, held a "wedding" for their pets. Now the two are featured in the logo for the fundraising group Wigglebutt Warriors, which raises money for nonprofit organizations helping dogs. Dexter and Zoe will be at the Central PA?Pet Expo.
"This is now the third year and it was successful from year one. There hasn't been a pet expo in this part of central Pennsylvania for several years so I was very anxious to have an opportunity to bring one back and obviously there was a very big audience for it," she said.
"Each year, we try to do even bigger and better things and improve upon each show, so we're really anxious for this year, as well, and excited," she added.
The show stemmed from a desire to offer a day of family fun for all ages that is also educational, Hanna said.

People should not bring their own pets to the indoor show because so many animals are already on hand and medical records are needed for any animals present, she said.
Carol Bryant of the online magazine "Fidose of Reality" is bringing the fundraising group she helped create known as the Wigglebutt Warriors.
The Wigglebutt Warriors are holding an upcoming gala event, "Wigglebutts Go Hollywoof," which is raising money for the Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue, which is based out of Virginia, according to its website. The event will take place Sept. 13, 2014, at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in West Orange, N.J.
Each year the Wigglebutt Warriors, which got their name from the distinct way a cocker spaniel wags its tail, will host another gala event to raise money for a different nonprofit organization helping dogs, Bryant said.
The group raises funds for rescue groups to help dogs find forever homes, according to information from Bryant, who started the group with Val Sorensen and Darlene Bryant after holding a successful Wigglebutt Wedding in Connecticut in June. Cocker spaniels Dexter and Zoe, who represent the Wigglebutt Warriors, were "wed."
Zoe was a rescue dog who was saved only a few hours before she was scheduled to be euthanized and "now she's basically a princess bride and has gone on to do so many cool things in her life," Bryant said.
She's hoping expo visitors will stop at the booth "and have a good time and be able to pet the dogs, get their picture and have some fun," she said.
Dogs aren't the only animals attending the event.
John Lege, known as "That Guy With the Birds," who hails from Armstrong County, will also be on hand with 20 to 25 of his feathered friends, he said.
Lege, who has rescued parrots for 33 years and started a rescue in 1980 for unwanted, abused and neglected birds, brings an "educational, entertaining program," with the birds, he said.
The program will take place a couple of times during the expo, but people also can stop by and have birds perch on them and get pictures taken, he said.
Metzger Animal Hospital of State College is a sponsor of the event.
Veterinarian Dr. Fred Metzger said they plan on bringing the hospital's certified veterinary chiropractor, Dr. Kevin McCarthy. Technicians and doctors will also be on hand to talk about the hospital's canine rehabilitation center.
The hospital, which has two board-certified veterinarians and does referrals and second opinions, also offers emergency services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, he said.
Metzger, who enjoys working with the rescues, said he loves when children attend the expo, offering a chance for an education on pet care and an opportunity for them to see different dogs and cats.
"We got a lot of attention last year and we met a lot of people and that was very cool," he said.

Thanks for a Great Open House!
Yesterday's open house was a whirlwind. I'll admit that I spent the morning fairly certain that no one would come- the weather was weird, Sundays are lazy, and I sometimes lack social confidence.
But you, tiny house people, did not let me down. At exactly 12:58, a throng of people appeared, trudging through the mud. Children, farmers, urbanites, college officials- an incredibly kind and interesting crowd filled the house from start to finish. There was even a line outside!
One lovely lady brought me daffodils; another family brought me a cake from a favorite bakery. Everyone brought questions, cameras, and positive reinforcement. I wish I'd taken more pictures, but I was so busy answering questions that I didn't get a chance! Here's a few photos I snapped:

Technology is the practice and activity of making, as well as the tools that enable that making. It is also the realm of ideas behind those endeavors, the expanse of technical knowledge and expertise. At once material, intellectual, active, and social, technology is the purposeful organization of human effort to alter and shape the environment. Gardens, like other designed landscapes, are products of a range of technologies; their layout, construction, and maintenance would be unthinkable without technology. What are the technologies of garden making, what are the concepts and ideas behind garden technologies, and what is the meaning and experience of those endeavors?
Technology and the Garden examines the shaping and visualization of the landscape; the development of horticultural technologies; the construction of landscape through hydraulics, labor, and infrastructure; and the effect of emerging technologies on the experience of landscape. These essays demonstrate how the technics of the garden can be hidden or revealed, disguised beneath the earth or celebrated on the surface. How designers have approached technology, in all historical periods and in a diversity of places and cultures, is a central question in landscape studies.
Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture 35]]>
Organized by Dorothée Imbert, the symposium provided a critical historical framework for today's urban agriculture by discussing the multiple scales, ideologies, and contexts of productive landscapes, from allotment gardens to regional plans. Topics included the production and distribution of food in relation to human settlement and urban form, from German Siedlungen to Italian Fascist new towns, and Israeli kibbutzim to contemporary Tokyo. The conference placed particular emphasis on the efforts of modern and early-modern landscape architects, garden designers, and architects/planners to reconcile the demands of feeding cities and regions with the exigencies of urban expansion.]]>

Thursday, April 18, 2013
Two years after Dorchester County Council expanded membership on the Sales Tax Transportation Authority by a 4-3 vote, council is locked in a dispute over expanding membership on the County Transportation Committee.
The committee is broken, said Councilman Larry Hargett, who is pushing to expand membership to nine people from the current seven.
"It has never worked properly in the last 10 years," he said.
But adding members will dilute the representation of some areas, probably the upper part of the county, said Councilman Willie Davis.
The County Transportation Committee, or CTC, oversees the use of $1.4 million in state "C" funds, collected from the gas tax, for roads. The Sales Tax Transportation Authority oversees the road projects approved by referendum that are financed with the 1 percent sales tax.
The spark for increasing membership on the CTC came when Councilwoman Carroll Duncan replaced a member with her own appointee.
Duncan took her seat on council in January, taking over longtime Councilman Richard Rosebrock's place, and as part of getting established she reviewed all of Rosebrock's holdover appointees.
She made no apologies for replacing Rosebrock's CTC appointee. It had nothing to do with personality, she said at a council meeting April 1.
Rosebrock's appointee didn't live in District 5, and she believes each district should have a voice in how the road money is spent, she said.
She appointed someone who lives in the district.
Hargett said the unappointed member was a civil engineer, and the committee needs that type of expertise. Plus, he said, the committee's workload has increased.
He also told council the membership should be expanded because current members haven't been consistent about showing up and Chairman Les Dempsey has had a hard time ensuring a quorum to make decisions.
Some haven't even attended half the meetings, Hargett said.
In fact, the quorum problem was initially cited as the reason for needing more members.
If people aren't coming to meetings, they should be replaced, Duncan said. And adding two members would also increase the number of members needed for a quorum, leaving the committee in the same quandary as today, she said.
Chairman Bill Hearn agreed that council members should first address their appointees' attendance, and it might be something council needs to look at across all boards and commissions, he said.
But adding members to the sales tax authority strengthened that body, not weakened it, Hargett said.
There is no requirement for a particular type of professional background to sit on the CTC, and that's not something council has discussed so far, Hargett said.
Hargett's ordinance squeaked past first reading on a 4-3 vote, with Duncan, Davis and Councilman David Chinnis voting against.
At this week's meeting, council voted 6-1 to table the ordinance in hopes of developing consensus before moving forward. Hargett voted against tabling.

EDWARDSVILLE - Go ahead and double-check the stats. It doesn't seem plausible, but it's definitely true.
A Lycoming defense missing two of its four starters in the secondary held Wilkes to just two pass completions on Saturday. That's right, two. Not two in a quarter or two in a half. Just two. Total.
It was a complete defensive effort from a Warriors defensive unit which was torched to the tune of 395 passing yards a week ago against Widener, including two late touchdown drives that cost Lycoming a nine-point, fourth-quarter lead. But Saturday, the coverage was brilliant. The pressure up front from the front four was even better.
It all led to the Warriors' best defensive performance of the season.
"We go out there and have fun," Lycoming cornerback Ryan Mihoci said. "This is a tight team, and in the secondary you're kind of on an island out there, so you have to have some confidence. We all have it."
Lycoming's defense didn't look much different than it has for much of the year other than playing without sophomore corner Kody Flail. Flail injured his knee in last week's loss to Widener and he was scheduled to have an MRI last week, but the results were not known as of late last week.
The Warriors have already played much of the season without starting safety Ryan Fenningham who initially hurt his left knee against Delaware Valley in Week 2 and reinjured it last week against Widener, and Caleb Shertzer has proven to be more than capable playing in Fenningham's stead.
Yesterday, the group of Mihoci, Shertzer, corner Matt Talerico and safety Tanner Troutman played like a group that has formulated a bond of communication, and a bond of understanding of the scheme. The coverage on the receivers was tight. The only two catches went for 18 and 9 yards, respectively.
And Wilkes tight ends Drew Devitt and Dan Curry who were the first and third leading receivers going into Saturday's game, never caught a pass.
"We feel pretty confident with the depth of our secondary," Mihoci said. "Of course Fenn and Flail are great players and it was a big blow to lose those guys last week, but we really stepped up to the plate and took on the challenge."
Often Colonels quarterback Tyler Berntsen dropped back and found nowhere to throw the football. He wasn't able to just sit there, though, and wait for someone to break open. He was constantly on the move thanks to the pressure of a Lycoming defensive front which never let Berntsen get comfortable.
It truly was a complete defensive effort to all but eliminate Wilkes' offense Saturday. Not only did the Warriors allow just the 27 passing yards, but it held a rushing offense averaging 260 yards per game to just 131 yards at 3.1 yards per carry.
The Warriors forced a run-first team to throw and Wilkes couldn't find any positives in their passing game. They didn't just make the Colonels one dimensional offensively, they left Wilkes without a dimension.
The Warriors recorded five sacks, including two by defensive tackle Dwight Hentz. They also had 11 tackles for loss.
"Last year we had the number three defense in the country, so we had that confidence and we have those expectations, too," Mihoci said. "We don't care what they're averaging. We have confidence in our D-line, linebackers and secondary to get in the backfield and shut their run game down."
"So much of throwing the football is a timing issue. That's really what it comes down to," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "When you can get back and get the ball thrown, it's great. But when guys are covered or there's pressure and you have to readjust, then those routes have to change and you have to adjust to get open. If you can't do that, it makes it tough to throw."
Tough to throw, tough to run. It doesn't leave many options left for Lycoming's opponents.

Athletes need protein—it's a must. According to a recent article from Runner's World, athletes can expect fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and heightened risk of injury when protein consumption is low. (The article recommends 0.55 to 0.77 grams per lb of body weight, meaning a 130-pound person should eat 72 to 100 grams of protein a day.) Meat is often the first protein people consider, but studies confirm it's not necessarily the best option. So, why not try something new?
Check out three of the newest forms of protein to hit the market:
1. Blue-green Algae: Forget steak, eggs, or even tofu, you can get your protein from algae. ENERGYbits has hit the fitness scene with tiny little bits made of spirulina, a blue-green algae. The bits contain a complete protein with the algae, glucose, and nitric oxide. The company claims that these three ingredients can provide an athlete with the rapid access to glucose and protein for top performance. Additionally, the bits claim to give the body an energy boost that many have to use caffeine or chemicals to achieve. ENERGYbits' protein concentration is at 60% which is very hard to find in most protein sources. A lot of research states that spirulina contains the highest concentration of protein in the world.

A 14-week session aimed at introducing high school students to the world of forensic sciences will again take place at the Buckhannon American Legion.
The second Forensic Mondays program is scheduled to start up at 6 p.m. April 8 with "Criminal Investigation 101." There is no cost to attend the sessions, which run from 6 to 9 p.m. on April 8 and 22, May 6 and 20, June 10, July 15, Aug. 12, Sept. 9 and 21, Oct. 7 and 21, Nov. 4 and 18 and Dec. 9. Those interested do not have to attend every session.
"We are not aware of any other program of this nature anywhere in this country," said David Taylor, one of the event's organizers.
Topics for the individual sessions range from dealing with a crime scene, to interrogations, to prosecuting the crimes. In between, participants will learn how to process evidence involving crimes of property and crimes of violence.
"This year is more legalistic," Taylor said. "There is still a lot of forensic science, and we've opened up the speaker's platform. That was based on the feedback from last year."
Taylor said the goal of Forensic Mondays is to show young people the true nature of law enforcement, forensic science and the legal system. Throughout the series, the participants will be exposed to various injury, death and homicide investigations, along with other material of a sensitive nature, shown through photos, slides and videotapes from actual closed cases.
"We will be showcasing the talent that this state has to offer," Taylor said, noting law enforcement officers, federal prosecutors and even a U.S. district judge have agreed to be part of the series.
Taylor said other scenarios to be covered include cyber-crimes and bullying.
The program also is open to anyone serving as a public safety professional or working in the social services field. CEU credits through West Virginia Wesleyan College are available for a fee.
An application and the full schedule are available at www.Facebook.com/ForensicMondays.
Taylor praised the Frank B. Bartlett American Legion Post 7 officials for helping to sponsor this series for the second straight year.
The costs of the program have been covered by various vendors and civic organizations.

5 Self-Defense Books for Women (Who Want to Lose a Fight)
How to Fight Back and Win: The Joy of Self-Defense
by Judith Fein, Ph.D.The Cover
The cover of this is a marker drawing of eyeballed shapes, because nothing says tough like amateur cubism. Is this the swirling hallucination your attacker sees after you ram your crutch into his groin or was there some kind of labeling mix up at the book publisher? Because if that's the case, then somewhere out there is a book of art by death row prisoners with a really confusing karate lady on the front:
The Philosophy
Here's a fun experiment: ask one of your stupid friends what they do when they don't want people to sit next to them on a plane. They'll no doubt have some brilliant strategy like trying to look so crazy no one wants to sit next to them! Now imagine if you took that idiot's idea of cleverness and applied it to every aspect of human life. That's what this book is.
The Joy of Self Defense is paranoia disguised as common sense. It's a collection of wisdom from a woman who, after a day of not being mugged, writes down every god damn thing she did or didn't do as "street smarts." The author, Dr. Judith Fein, advises readers to never use an ATM. She advises you to keep your radio low so carjackers know you're not distracted. She says to dart your eyes around on the bus to let the rapists know that you know they're there. These are preventative measures that "work" right up to the point where they will never have any effect on what they're designed to prevent. For example, many carjackers can overcome a quiet or even off radio. There's probably a mugger out there writing a book that says, "If a lady on the bus is trying really hard to look assertive and aware, she keeps her cash in her sock."
Most self-defense books are about the illusion of safety and the empowerment of black and white photos of dong punches. But telling a woman how to hold her purse to make it 18% harder to steal doesn't make her feel 18% safer-- it reminds her that 100% of everyone wants to steal, then certainly rape, her purse. And self-defense experts, when you tell your readers to get a P.O. Box so your mailman won't know you're a girl, maybe -just maybe- you're more nuts than safe.
If you ask Judith what time it is, nice try, she'll pepper spray the person behind her to counter your two-man grift. If she wrote murder fiction, and I think this book counts, the butler would die of old age waiting for the heroine to look timid. Dr. Fein's idea of crime prevention is bleeding on her curtains so would-be home intruders think a maniac lives there. I think she rubs herself in cat food every morning to confuse wolves.
The Karate
Letting someone go into the world with these fighting abilities as their self defense is like teaching an Indian exchange student how to say, "My vagina is in your sandwich," and releasing him into America. I've seen it done, and it's a disaster. Your only prayer with this garbage is that your attacker took enough karate when he was eight that he figures out what you're trying to do and starts laughing.
SELF-DEFENSE: The Womanly Art of Self-Care Intuition and Choice
by Debbie Leung, 1991The Cover
The front cover is a barely readable mashup of fonts and randomly placed words that looks like it already lost a fight to Adobe Illustrator. Or maybe they were going for "I'm so shitty at graphic design that I must be awesome at punching." The title already seems like it might be more about preventing tampon irritation than muggings, and the back cover of the author snuggling with her cat doesn't help. If Phil Collins performed You'll Be in my Heart in sign language, the balls in his mouth would look tougher than this book cover.
The Philosophy
From what I understand, when a woman learns karate, she's also taught that every person ever is a rapist. But as you might have guessed from a self-defense author who puts her kitty on the cover, Debbie Leung doesn't give a fuck. She isn't a paranoid nutbag keeping a world of sex offenders at bay with her assertiveness. She writes like she might have learned about life from something other than Batman. In fact, this book includes all kinds of real statistics about how unlikely you are to be shot, and even how unlikely you are to die if someone shoots you. By the time you finish reading it, you might get on the subway with a titty out just to add some unpredictability to your life.
Despite her realistic approach to hidden dangers, Debbie is not without her flights of fancy. Her go-to martial arts move is a bellow and a little backfist. It's the perfect combo to counter a husband that fell asleep on top of you, but won't do much against an attacker interested in killing you. Debbie must figure that you probably won't ever get attacked, so who cares? Backfist! Backfist!
The Karate
There aren't a lot of moves in The Womanly art of Self-Care Intuition and Choice." If you're expecting to learn how to drive a spin kick into your mugger's pressure point, this is the wrong book. However, if you want to see some pictures of older ladies screaming at their gynecologist, let's get this party started!!!
Self-Defense for Women
by Willy Cahill, 1978The Cover
No one was expecting a huge amount of creativity from a guy who named his book Self-Defense for Women, but this isn't even trying. If this guy designed an instructional manual for an enema kit, his boss would tell him to go back and add a little pizazz.
The Philosophy
Author Willy Cahill doesn't seem like he disrespects women, but he's obviously had enough of them in his Judo class to know they're not very tough. He says that women don't have the punching power to knock anyone out, which seems like a strange thing to bring up in your girl self-defense book. Because if that's true, what the fuck are we doing here, Willy? And maybe the reason women can't knock anyone out is because you teach them to punch like this:
Willy punches like a blind person searching through broken glass. Either he's adapting judo for penguins or he hates women so much that he wants them all to break their hands. Luckily, he knows several ways to kick a dick, and 90 pages of this 95 page book are devoted to that. Why 90 pages for one move? The only reason I can think of is so that when he's teaching class he can say, "Ladies, the human body has 13 weak spots, and they're all right here," right before he takes his dick out.
What's really special about Willy's karate book is the scenarios that he puts women in. He wrote it in the 70's, but you get the idea that he'd be surprised if you told him women were allowed to vote. Every hypothetical attack takes place at Willy's idea of where women go: a, the mall or b: the grocery store. And they probably only went there because there wasn't enough room to throw a sidekick in his kitchen.
There's a little bit of clever improvisation at the locations like when Willy teaches ladies how to kick a groin from an escalator or how to run it over with a shopping cart full of menstrual belts. And there is one non-shopping situation where the karate model is attacked while sexily sunbathing in the park, but I think that's only in the book so you have a page to turn to when you're caught masturbating to it.
The Karate
It's so difficult to describe this book since it's more sloppy dick attacks than any mind can comprehend. If you took a child with three days of martial arts training and somehow convinced them that the only noun in the entire world was penis, this is what that poor monster would create. It's flashes of chaotic nonsense that a battered husband remembers during hypnotic regression therapy. Wait, I've got the perfect description: if a yellow belt fell into a sausage-making machine, this looks like the video footage of that being played backwards.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Owen Wilson
- 1984
Middle Man
The second of three boys, Dallas native Owen Wilson is caught cheating on a geometry exam while in tenth grade. He is expelled and sent to military school in New Mexico for his junior and senior years. "We were good until we started getting into firecrackers and girls," younger brother Luke Wilson tells PEOPLE in 1998.
- circa 1988
Undergrad Undertakings
Wilson majors in English at the University of Texas, where he initially has no plan to pursue acting. "I thought maybe I could write," he recalls to the Los Angeles Times. "If things worked out nice, maybe I could write some short stories or a novel, maybe go into advertising, writing little jingles and stuff." He meets fellow student and aspiring filmmaker Wes Anderson in a playwriting class and soon after makes his theatrical debut in Anderson's student play, a comedy called A Night in Tunisia.
- 1993
Wilson, Anderson Blast Off
Wilson and Anderson generate buzz at the Sundance Film Festival with Bottle Rocket, a 13-minute short film written by the pair and starring Wilson and his brother Luke as wannabe criminals. The idea becomes a full-length feature and is sold to Columbia Pictures later that summer. The quirky comedy, which hits theatres in February 1996, isn't a critical success but does serve as the first film role for the brothers.
- 1996
When Owen Met Ben
With a bit part in The Cable Guy, Wilson marks his first collaboration with Ben Stiller, who directs and appears in the film. Stiller casts Wilson in the film after seeing him in Bottle Rocket. "The audience was getting it, but I was laughing more than anyone else," Stiller tells the Los Angeles Times. "I thought, 'This is my sense of humor.'" The pair – now close friends who take road trips and hit nightspots together before Stiller's 2000 marriage – will work together in six more films, costarring as the leads in the 2004 remake of '70s cop show Starsky and Hutch.
- 1998
Blockbuster Debut
Wilson lands his first part in a big budget action movie, playing geologist Oscar Choi in the asteroid thriller Armageddon with Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis. The critically panned but commercially successful Michael Bay film gives Wilson his biggest visibility to date.
- 1999
Strong Enough
While portraying a serial killer in The Minus Man, Wilson romances costar Sheryl Crow, who makes her acting debut in the film as the killer's first victim. While neither is very forthcoming about the relationship, Crow does give the Toronto Sun some details in 1999. "He's seen me play a lot. And he loves it," she says. "It's funny because he's only ever been to two rock concerts and one of them was mine."
- 2000
Wild West Meets Far East
Wilson plays Jackie Chan's neurotic, girl-crazy sidekick in Shanghai Noon, which earns $32.2 million in its first two weeks. "Owen is in a league of his own. And a world of his own," director Tom Dey tells Entertainment Weekly. "But I knew after the first take of the first scene – he's a star waiting to happen." They reprise their roles in 2003's Shanghai Knights.
- 2001
Pilot Appearance
Wilson stars as a Navy aviator shot down in Bosnia in Behind Enemy Lines, receiving $3 million for the performance. "Let's face it, it's really Owen's movie," producer John Davis tells the Los Angeles Times. "It's his first major leading role. He's going to get very expensive very quickly."
Royal Success
After cowriting Bottle Rocket and 1998's Rushmore, Wilson and director Wes Anderson team up to write The Royal Tenenbaums, a quirky comedy about a dysfunctional family. Playing family friend Eli Cash, Wilson stars with his brother Luke, Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow. Anderson and Wilson receive Oscar, BAFTA and Writers Guild nominations for Best Screenplay.
- 2002
Spy Bomb
Signed to star in the adaptation of the '60s TV series I Spy, Eddie Murphy is given a list of potential costars. "Eddie saw the name Owen Wilson on the list and said, 'I don't even need to meet this guy before we start filming," director Betty Thomas tells the Chicago Sun-Times. "'I want him because I really like his work. The kid is funny.'" With overwhelmingly bad reviews, the film fails to make half of its $70 million budget.

The drunken motorcyclist who plowed into a group of pedestrians on an Amherst bike path Nov. 11, killing two women and injuring a man, pleaded guilty Thursday to vehicular manslaughter and assault.
The motorcycle operator, David A. Smith, 53, of Roselle Avenue, Niagara Falls, faces a minimum prison sentence of one to three years and a maximum term of five to 15 years, said Kelley A. Omel, chief of the Erie County District Attorney's Office Vehicular Crimes Bureau.
Smith pleaded guilty to felony first-degree vehicular manslaughter, second-degree vehicular assault and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
"Were you in an intoxicated condition when you were operating this motorcycle?" State Supreme Court Justice Penny M. Wolfgang asked Smith during the plea hearing.
"Yes," Smith replied.
The charges he admitted to are more severe than the ones authorities initially filed.
Smith admitted that while operating his motorcycle drunk, he lost control, drove off the road onto the bike path and killed Jocelyn B. Elberson, 25, of the Town of Tonawanda, and Sheila Pelton, 81, of East Amherst. Both were taken to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, Amherst, where they were pronounced dead.
Pelton's husband, Foster, 79, was taken by ambulance to Erie County Medical Center with serious injuries.
The victims' families attended the court hearing. Amherst Police Department investigators also attended.
Several people were at the hearing on Smith's behalf, as well.
The crash occurred at about 3:20 p.m. on a curvy stretch of Tonawanda Creek Road, between Campbell Boulevard and Hopkins Road. The path runs parallel to Tonawanda Creek Road. At the area where the pedestrians were struck, the path is just a few feet from the road, and there is no guardrail. At other points, the path is farther from the road.
Elberson, a prep cook at Bonefish Grill in the Boulevard Mall, was on a walk with her cockapoo puppy; her mother, Kathleen; and an aunt when Smith's motorcycle came hurtling toward the group, a family member told The Buffalo News after the incident.
Defense attorneys Joel L. Daniels and Jim Faso declined to comment.
Smith will continue to be held in the Erie County Holding Center without bail. Wolfgang scheduled Smith's sentencing for March 14.
Smith pleaded guilty without any promises made regarding a sentence.
"We're going to be considering all options available at the sentencing time," Wolfgang said.
Smith has a prior DWI record; he was convicted in a 1997 incident on Grand Island and pleaded guilty to felony DWI in October 2000 in North Tonawanda, according to court records. Smith also was convicted of drunken driving in September 2005, in Belmont County, Ohio.

How the events in Oslo and then Utoya unfolded
Created by StevePro on Jul 22, 2011
Last updated: 07/25/11 at 04:28 PM
"We're going to punish him with democracy and love," Oslo's mayor says
The suspect in the deadliest attack in Norway since World War II has acknowledged carrying out the mass shooting and bombing and claims to have worked with two cells, a judge said Monday.
Judge Kim Heger said the suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, acknowledged carrying out Friday's bombing and shooting, but has said they were necessary to prevent the "colonization" of the country by Muslims. Breivik accused the Labour Party, whose members were targets of the mass shooting, of "treason" for promoting multiculturalism, the judge said.
After a bombing and a shooting rampage that left 93 people dead, some believe the open and trusting attitude that's been a hallmark of the Norwegian psyche is forever lost. The prime minister tells mourners, 'Our answer is more democracy, more openness, more humanity, but never naivete.'
A right-wing zealot who has confessed to killing 93 people in Norway seemed a polite "city man" out of place in a small rural town where he leased a hideaway farm to plot his attacks.
"He said he was a farmer," said Trine Stetten, a 22-year-old hairdresser, who had stood next to Anders Behring Breivik while her partner in a local salon clipped his hair a month or so ago.
The official estimate of the number of people killed in the two attacks is increased to 92. (On Sunday, the figure would climb to 93.)
The Norwegian police on Saturday charged a man they identified as a right-wing fundamentalist Christian in connection with a bombing in central Oslo and a shooting attack on a nearby island that killed at least 92 people. Officials said the death toll could climb as they continued to search for the missing.
Police have charged a 32-year-old man over the attacks, identified by local media as Anders Behring Breivik, a Christian fundamentalist with links to right-wing extremists.
Authorities say at least 85 people were killed in the Utoya massacre and rescue crews are scouring the water surrounding the tiny island for bodies.
The official death toll rises to 12 with five dead on the island and seven killed in the bomb blast. However, unofficial reports suggest the toll may be much higher.
With some mobile telephones being jammed, locals in Oslo are asked to unlock their Wi-Fi signals in order to allow those trapped in buildings to communicate with emergency services.
The head of Oslo University Hospital says there are more than 100 walking wounded from the bomb blasts.
Supporters of the Global Jihad terror group claim responsibility for the attack. The group claims Norway has been targeted because of its "occupation of Afghanistan and the abuse of our Prophet Muhammad".
The authorities confirm at least five people have been killed on Utoya.
Initial reports suggest multiple casualties at the Labour Party meeting, where more than 500 people were attending the annual event. Anti-terrorist squads are scrambled to the island and one person is arrested.
Mr Stoltenberg, left, is taken to a secret location for his own safety, but issues a statement on television confirming that he is safe and well. He tells the Norwegian people that the ongoing situation is "very serious".
Emergency services in Oslo say at least 15 people have been injured in the blast, but the scale of the damage to surrounding buildings suggests many more could be hurt.
Norwegian police issue the first confirmation that a "powerful explosion" has taken place in the government quarter of the city. Shortly afterwards, NRK, the country's public broadcaster, reports that there has been at least one death. That figure rises to two.
Reports that more blasts are imminent cause panic throughout the city centre and people begin to flee the area. Locals living near the epicentre of the blast are told to evacuate their homes. Hundreds of victims are feared trapped in the devastated buildings.
The centre of Oslo is rocked by at least one huge explosion, right, close to the government's headquarters and the offices of VG, the country's biggest newspaper. Initial fears suggest that Jens Stoltenberg, the country's prime minister, has been caught up in the blast, but government officials confirm he was not in his office at the time.
A bomb ripped through Oslo's central government district on Friday and a gunman dressed as a policeman then opened fire at a youth camp on a nearby island, killing at least 17 people altogether.
Norwegian police lowered the overall death toll from twin bombing and shooting attacks to 76, hours after a self-confessed suspect was remanded in custody for eight weeks.
A senior Oslo police official, Oeystein Maeland, on Monday said the number of people killed by a downtown bomb went up one to eight, and that the count from a subsequent mass shooting on a nearby island fell from 86 to 68.
The overall toll was previously given by police as 93.
Reports begin to emerge of an incident at a youth camp outside Oslo organized by the ruling Norwegian Labour Party. Local journalists report that a gunman dressed as a policeman has opened fire on delegates gathered on the island of Utoya, right. Mr Stoltenberg who was due to address the meeting today describes the unfolding situation as "critical".
