SEOUL, 9 November 2011 – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has partnered with the Republic of Korea to develop and implement antipoverty policy efforts in Africa and expand the foundation and framework for Korea-Africa's immediate and long-term cooperation with regards to industrial development.
This was the focus of a seminar, titled "Industrialization of Africa and partnership with Korea", organized in Seoul today by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade (KIET), the Ministry of Knowledge Economy and UNIDO.
KIET's dedication to international industrial development reflects the policies of the Government of the Republic of Korea to expand the Official development assistance, or ODA, to help in reducing poverty in developing countries.
Participants at the event discussed setting up a knowledge sharing platform that would form public-private partnerships to develop innovative policies and actions and engage in efficient and effective partnership with African countries. The platform would bring together world-renowned experts from international organizations such as UNIDO and the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC), as well as from the Republic of Korea's private sector. They also looked at ways to provide networking opportunities to domestic and foreign stakeholders interested in the industrial development of Africa.
Before the seminar, the UNIDO Managing Director, Wilfried Luetkenhorst, and the President of KIET, Byoung Jun Song, signed an agreement that will enable joint research on major issues relevant to economic and industry developments for developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
The new partnership will also contribute to the exchange of industrial development data and information. UNIDO and KIET staff will be involved in industrial development studies and technical cooperation.
UNIDO and KIET also intend to work closer to devise approaches and industrial policy strategies for developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
In March 2011, UNIDO and the Ministry of Knowledge Economy agreed to strengthen cooperation and identify joint projects and activities in the fields of green growth technology and low-carbon industrial development. Joint research on the impact of green industrial investment on global employment will be carried out by UNIDO and the Korea Global Green Growth Institute. UNIDO is also working to expand collaboration with the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) in the field of metrology.

Tools for Leaders
Technical Assistance
If you are a NAMI Leader in need of technical assistance for state advocacy, please find the appropriate person to contact here.
2013 State Legislation Report
NAMI is pleased to offer a new resource, the State Legislation Report 2013: Trends, Themes and Best Practices in State Mental Health Legislation found here. Because mental health was in the spotlight this year, lawmakers enacted a wave of legislation with implications for people living with mental illness. As you work on advocacy priorities for 2014 we hope this report will serve as a reference, enabling you to reflect on what happened in your state legislature in the context of other states and possibly replicating best practices from other states and learning from red flag legislation.
Grassroots Advocacy Tools
NAMI Smarts
NAMI Smarts for Advocacy is a popular hands-on advocacy training program that helps people living with mental illness, friends and family transform their passion and lived experience into skillful grassroots advocacy.
NAMI Smarts for Advocacy is designed to be taught as a series of three 1-2 hour workshops or modules or as a single full-day training that develop the following skills:
Peer Share
The best ideas often come from fellow grassroots leaders. Explore our Peer Share materials from members of NAMI's State Advocacy Advisory Group and feel free to adapt for your state. (more)
Advocacy Checklists for Leaders
Our advocacy checklists offer step-by-step suggestions for pre-session, session and post-session activities to assist in developing relationships, influencing budgets, cultivating the media and engaging the grassroots.
Media Tool Kit
With state mental health budgets in peril, working with the media to express the need for mental health services is more important than ever.
Elected officials pay attention to what they read or hear in the media--and so does the general public. Media "impressions" around mental health issues help move public opinion and public policy, including budgets.
Use our new Media Relations Tool Kit and discover the many ways you can do your part to strengthen mental health care. NAMI's Media Tool Kit is tailored for NAMI leaders, but we welcome use by all who share our cause.
Included in the NAMI State Advocacy 2010 Media Relations Tool Kit:

The Bureau of Community Sanctions distributes and monitors grant and contractual funds provided to local jurisdictions and private vendors to establish community sanctions and residential services for adult offenders that are re-integrating into the community or who, otherwise, would be incarcerated in local jails or state prisons. Programs funded by the Bureau include Halfway Houses, Community-Based Correctional Facilities, Community Residential Centers, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Community Corrections Act grant programs including Intensive Supervision Probation, Standard Probation, Prosecutorial Diversion, Non-Supervisory Treatment Programs, Electronic Monitoring, and Community Work Service. Additionally, the Bureau has provided Probation Improvement Grants, Probation Incentive Grants, and SMART Ohio Grants in order to alleviate voids in services. The funds and contracts managed by the Bureau are addressed in Ohio Revised Code Sections 2301.51, and Ohio Administrative Codes 5120:1-3-01 and 5120:1-5-06.
The Bureau was established by Executive Order in 1976 and was updated with a subsequent Executive Order in 1992. The Bureau's mission is to develop and enhance community corrections programs, in partnership with state, local and private agencies, for sanctioning and treating adult offenders in the community. The Bureau strives to ensure funds are utilized effectively through evidence based practices and supervision techniques proven to provide offenders with the oversight and skills necessary to reduce the likelihood that they will engage in further future criminal behavior.
The Bureau of Community Sanctions, in partnership with state, local and private/non-profit agencies, develops and enhances community corrections programs utilized by local courts and the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for sanctioning and treating offenders in the community. The Bureau includes grant, placement, auditing, and support staff members located throughout the state who work directly with community providers to place and serve offenders, monitor expenditures and utilization rates, provide training, ensure compliance with standards, and provide coaching and technical assistance. The Bureau also oversees the Transitional Control program and Electronic Monitoring program for offenders who violate their terms of supervision.
The Bureau is responsible for:
Halfway houses are community residential programs providing supervision and treatment services for offenders released from state prisons, referred by Courts of Common Pleas, or sanctioned because of a violation of conditions of supervision. Halfway houses are a vital component of Ohio's community justice continuum providing services such as cognitive behavioral therapy, drug and alcohol treatment, electronic monitoring, job placement, educational programs, and specialized programs for sex offenders and mentally ill offenders.

Probation Improvement and Incentive Overview 2014/2015
In February 2007, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) in Ohio announced a new supportive housing pilot, Returning Home-Ohio. This initiative is aimed at preventing entry into the homeless services system and reducing recidivism for individuals returning to Ohio's communities from state prisons. ODRC has invested over $5 million which has been used for rental subsidies, tenant assistance, supportive services, program evaluation, and project management.
The target population includes offenders released from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections who have histories of chronic homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness upon release. Priority is given to offenders who are likely to require supportive services in order to maintain housing. This includes, but is not limited to, offenders who have severe mental illnesses, addictions, and/or development disabilities.
Transitional Control is a prison program designed to facilitate an offender's transition back in to the community from prison. It benefits the offender and the community by providing offenders the opportunity for a more successful transition from prison while residing in a monitored environment. Inmates who are deemed eligible by the Ohio Parole Board may participate in the Transitional Control program during the final 180 days prior to their release from prison. Depending on sentence length, some inmates may require approval from the applicable sentencing judge prior to transfer. Participants in the Transitional Control program must be willing to attend and participate in programming which targets their identified individual needs. If the inmate is discovered to be inappropriate or unable to fully participate in the program, he or she can be administratively returned to prison. Transitional Control participants reside in DRC contract Halfway Houses and are monitored very closely. If a Transitional Control offender has demonstrated an adequate adjustment and is actively participating in appropriate programming, they may be stepped down to electronic monitoring in an appropriate home placement.
A housing initiative launched by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in January 2004. Community Residential Centers provide housing, some limited monitoring of residents, case management and community referrals for services. The Program serves offenders with no viable home placement options who are stabilized and have moderate to low programming needs that can be met in the community.
Ohio Community Correction Act (CCA) jail and prison diversion programs are funded by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, through the Bureau of Community Sanctions. These programs include Intensive Supervision Probation, Standard Probation, Prosecutorial Diversion, Non-Supervisory Treatment Programs, Electronic Monitoring, and Community Work Service. CCA programs are partnerships between the State of Ohio and the Local Community Correction Planning Boards. Each CCA program is under the control of the Local Corrections Planning Board and administered by either the county or city officials. Each Planning Board is comprised of local officials representing all areas of the criminal justice system within the county. CCA non-residential programs allow local courts to sanction certain offenders in the community saving scarce prison and jail beds for violent offenders.
Community Based Correctional Facilities (CBCFs) are secure residential programs that provide comprehensive programming for offenders on felony probation. CBCFs provide a wide range of programming addressing offender needs such as cognitive behavioral therapy, chemical dependency, education, employment, and family relationships. CBCFs are governed by a facility governing board and advised by a judicial advisory board.
The Clifford Skeen Award is presented annually to residential and non-residential programs in recognition of excellence in community corrections. The Clifford Skeen Award is a part of former Governor and former U.S. Senator Voinovich's commitment to enhancing the quality of community corrections programs in Ohio. The award, first presented in 1993, is given in honor of the late eight-term Ohio legislator who sponsored Ohio's Community Correction Act.

NORTH TONAWANDA – Although the true stars of the show barely graced the stage, Saturday night in the Riviera Theatre saw a star-studded ensemble give glowing performances for the eighth annual Concert with the Stars – the prelude to today's 51st annual Variety Kids Telethon for Women & Children's Hospital on WKBW-TV, Channel 7.
Part of a weekend full of events leading up to one of the nation's largest and longest-running telethons, the concert merges Variety and "The Riv" in a perfect pairing.
The former was founded in Pittsburgh, where a group of entertainers known as the Variety Club took in a baby who had been abandoned on the steps of the Sheridan Square Film Theatre on Christmas Eve 1928, with a note of hope for "the goodness of showbusiness people." The latter beauty was built in 1926 and has been revitalized as a nonprofit on the National Register of Historic Places, cared for by a small staff and community of volunteers.
Fittingly, the evening's entertainment, before a full first floor in the majestic theater, began with a solo performances on "The Mighty Wurlitzer" pipe organ, followed by a welcome from event and longtime WKBW "AM Buffalo" host Linda Pellegrino, who proved to be as bubbly after dusk as she is at dawn. Pellegrino declared the theme of this year's telethon to be "Making Their Dreams Come True," and in keeping, she introduced Buffalo-raised Las Vegas headliners the Scintas and Clint Holmes, along with singer/actor Ilene Graff, for a telethon-spun take on the theme song from the sitcom "Laverne & Shirley."
Buffalo's veteran Elvis impersonator Terry Buchwald arrived onstage on a real motorcycle to give a set of the King's classics backed by recorded tracks. Saying it's his 17th year performing for the telethon, he saluted his family and serenaded ladies in the crowd with gifts of sashes and leis before riding off to a standing ovation.
Pellegrino then introduced 2013 event Chairman Mike Benevento and Celebrity Child Emily Klima, 6, who with a little help from her family walked to center stage. Emily, who has cerebral palsy, is a veteran of multiple surgeries and weekly physical therapy, as well as the good will of the City of Good Neighbors.
"It's pretty amazing what people will do for somebody else, and really what separates Buffalo from other cities," her father, Tim, told me in 2011, before a benefit for a surgery in St. Louis that successfully eased her spasticity.
Broadway and big-screen star Graff delivered a warm set of songs set to a theme of dreams, from her own in the Mann-Weil/Leiber-Stoller classic "On Broadway" to a nod to the kids, Buffalo and our own Harold Arlen in "Come Rain or Come Shine." She was accompanied brilliantly by her husband and pianist, Ben Lanzarone, who led an ace 10-piece band of Buffalo talent, including pianist John Hasselback and saxmen Bobby Militello and Dave Schiavone.
A warm memorial was given to the late Art Ginsburg, TV's "Mr. Food," who made the telethon a favorite event to attend for 19 years. Torch carrier Howard Rosenthal introduced a tribute video, and Ginsburg's daughter Carol spoke and took to the piano to play "I'll Be Seeing You," with Graff on vocals.
Farnham-raised Vegas star Holmes took over with a show-stopping set that showed no age on the 66-year-old singer, as he danced around the stage with gusto to his greatest hit, "Playground on My Mind," and earned a standing ovation with a medley of classic ballads.
The Scintas "Let the Good Times Roll" from the get-go, brothers Frankie and Joe serving up a bevy of jokes, as always, with help from another locally raised singer, Ashlee Amoia.
With a closing ensemble take on the Doobie Brothers' "Takin' it to the Streets" and an all-hands-on-board "God Bless America," the cast sent the crowd to the streets with a convincing sermon to support the kids in today's 12-hour telethon.

Householder, Overington standing up for liberty

Overington is my kind of right-winger -- the kind that takes up space in the legislature for decades and has yet to convert one of his harebrained ideas into a bill that has passed. Next session, they ought to introduce a bill declaring him the official West Virginis state paperweight.

Obama has provided more enforcement on the southern border than did Bush. Net immigration from Mexico to US between 2005-2010 was ZERO. it has probably turned negative in the last three years.

Jen Bush said net immigration is "net zero."
"Its 2012 report about Mexican immigration concluded, "After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants -- most of whom came illegally -- the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed." The report was based on the center's analysis of federal census data.
We interviewed Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer at Pew and an expert on Hispanic immigration. He said that Bush's claim is true. Passel said that we can infer that the outflow of unauthorized immigrants exceeded inflows between 2007 and 2009 because the overall size of the unauthorized population living in the U.S. decreased between 2007 and 2009 from 12 million to 11.1 million."

"The sharp downward trend in net migration from Mexico began about five years ago and has led to the first significant decrease in at least two decades in the unauthorized Mexican population. As of 2011, some 6.1 million unauthorized Mexican immigrants were living in the U.S., down from a peak of nearly 7 million in 2007, according to Pew Hispanic Center estimates based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau."

Sorry if this is deemed to be the wrong place for this, but wanted to ask.
With the Griffins still in the AHL playoffs, who can we send down to bolster the roster? I recall that we wasted all of our post deadline roster transactions on a few players so that they would be eligible for the AHL playoffs. Am I wrong in how I am remembering things?

On June 21, communities around the world will participate in the seventh annual United Way Day of Action to create action and awareness in education, income and health. Held on the longest day of the year, United Way of Rock River Valley will rally the community to make a tangible impact on education with a call to action for individuals to pledge to become a volunteer reader, tutor, and mentor.
Why volunteer readers, tutors, and mentors?
For the next generation, a college degree or post-secondary training will be crucial. And yet, every 29 seconds, another student gives up on school, resulting in more than one million America dropouts a year — or 7,000 every day [source: DoSomething.org]. Reasons for students leaving school before graduating vary. Often times these young kids are struggling with overwhelming life circumstances that push school attendance further down on their priority lists. And many families either lack the time or the education themselves to help their children.
In a special report from America's Promise Alliance, which set out to discover why some people fail to complete high school, young people said that peers, parents, and other adults do matter. Caring connections that follow students from home, through their neighborhoods, to the school building are important. In addition to caring, these connections help young people solve problems that get in the way of school achievement. In fact, research proves that caring volunteers working with students of all ages have the power to help young children boost academic achievement.
By taking the pledge as part of United Way's Day of Action, volunteers have the opportunity to connect with local programs such as United Way I READ, which matches volunteer reading mentors with kindergarten students to help them achieve literacy goals by fourth grade, and The Literacy Council One-on-One Tutoring, which connects tutors with adults to improve their literacy levels and in turn help support their children with school.
Join other caring volunteers across the country who are taking action to improve education in their communities. We invite you to make the pledge now to become a volunteer reader, tutor, or mentor in the Rock River Valley. Visit www.wevolunteer.org for more information.

The new skipper for the Green Wave baseball program knows he has a lot to work with.
Banks Faulkner has fulfilled his obligations to Lexington High School, where he served as a teacher and pitching coach this spring. With his focus now on Summerville, the new Green Wave head coach will spend the summer putting the pieces together for what he hopes will be a championship program.
This was a good fit for me, Faulkner said. I wasnt looking to bolt out of Lexington. That was home and I was happy there, but as a competitor this position appeals to me. Its not that I just wanted to be a head coach. I wanted to go somewhere that was a special situation and this is. I think this program is a sleeping giant. It has been successful but it is ready to be pushed to that next level. We want to play deeper into May.
Faulkner replaces Alan Bridges, who served as the Waves head baseball coach for only one season while a search for a coach was conducted. Prior to Bridges, the position had only seen one change since 1970 when in the mid-80s Burt Bazzle took the reigns from Pinky Guerard. Between them, those coaches led Summerville to four state championships but the last one came in 2003.
Faulkner only has one season under his belt as a head coach, one he spent at Wando. However, as an assistant/pitching coach, he helped both Lexington and Gilbert teams to state titles. He also coached at Walhalla and Blythewood high schools.
As an athlete, Faulkner helped Lexington claim a state championship his senior year (1999). From there he went to Erskine College where he played two seasons. After having Tommy John surgery he gave up playing and transferred to Clemson where he earned an education degree.
Some of the coaches who were already part of the Green Wave program will remain on staff, but Faulkner also plans to bring in some new faces.
It wouldnt feel like a new program if I were the only new coach, he said. I want to bring in some guys who Ive worked with before and some guys from the community.
The coach should have several starters back, including some highly recruited athletes and two of its top pitchers. Those expected to return include pitcher Sawyer Bridges, who has verbally committed to Clemson, and outfielder TJ Hopkins, who has verbally committed to South Carolina.
I think the challenge is going to be how quick can these kids get comfortable playing in a new system, Faulkner said. It will be different for them but Im excited because they are talented kids who have a lot of physical tools and they are blue-collar kids which are the type of athletes I enjoy coaching.
Bridges and Charlie Fessler should give the Wave a powerful one-two pitching punch next season. Faulkner says if some of the teams other pitchers continue to develop and Summerville plays solid defense the team should do well.
If you have two top-tier arms you can do well in the playoffs but really you need three or four reliable arms, Faulkner said. We have some guys who should be able to help us out but we have to find the right spots for them and help them develop. I think we also need to do a better job in the field because good pitching isnt enough.

While the corners of the infield are somewhat unsettled, head coach Pete Dunn says the Hatters have a much clearer picture in the outfield where all three spots appear to be shored up.
"We have a really good idea of who's playing where in the outfield," said Dunn. "We have some interchangeable parts and that will help us throughout the season."
Junior Darby McCormick is slated to be Stetson's left fielder. McCormick batted .319 last season while playing in 39 games with 20 starts. He is a career .297 hitter.
"Darby won the left field position out-right," said Dunn. "We platooned a lot out there last year but we aren't looking at doing that this year. Left field is his."
Senior Kyle Zech will start in center, provided he's healthy. A three-year letterwinner, Zech has been full of promise throughout his Stetson career but has been limited to a total of 89 games, including just 22 last season. He hit .360 (9-for-25) as a junior.
"Kyle is the fastest player I've ever coached here," said Dunn. "He can run down balls that no one else can get to. You keep your fingers crossed as to whether he can stay healthy. If he can, and he can limit his strikeouts and fly-ball outs, he can be a tremendous asset."
Several players are expected to see time in right field, with senior co-captain Robert Bruce and junior Tanner Blackman likely to share time.
Bruce, a left-handed hitter, batted .267 last season in 36 games. Blackman, a right-handed hitter, batted .216 as a sophomore.
"If we're going to platoon in the outfield, it'll be in right," said Dunn. "Robert does a really good job against right-handed pitching. Blackman could be his platoon partner. We may start the season that way and see what happens."
Senior Mike Fernland is a candidate to see time at all three outfield positions. Fernland started 20 games as a junior, all in center field.
Dunn mentioned freshmen Eliot Shapleigh and Dean Garabedian as two players who may see time at just about any position on the field. Shapleigh is a left-handed hitter from Trinity Prep in Orlando where he hit .365 for his career and pitched to a 2.84 ERA. Garabedian was a four-year letter winner at Archbishop Carroll in Miami and hit .403 as a senior.
"Shapleigh can fill a utility role for us," said Dunn. "Garabedian can play just about anywhere. He's a good utility player that can give us help at just about every position."

Firms are working to develop a commercial system based on DNA transistor technology. [© marc hericher - Fotolia.com]
Roche and IBM are teaming up to develop a nanopore-based sequencing platform that will reduce the cost of whole human genome sequencing to $100 to $1,000 per genome. The platform will be based on IBM's DNA transistor technology, which essentially reads individual molecules of DNA as the string is fed through a nanopore in a silicon chip. The firm first released details of the technology back in September 2009.
As part of Roche and IBM's collaboration to commercialize the platform Roche will continue development at IBM and will also offer the additional resources and expertise of its 454 Life Sciences sequencing subsidiary. Roche will have rights to develop and market all products based on nanopore sequencing IP.
"By merging computational biology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology skills, we are moving closer to producing a system that can quickly and accurately translate DNA into medically relevant genetic information," comments Ajay Royyuru, senior manager of computational biology at IBM Research. "The challenge of all nanopore-based sequencing technologies is to slow and control the motion of the DNA through the nanopore. We are developing the technology to achieve this so that the reader can accurately decode the DNA sequence."
The Roche-IBM partnership partnership follows just weeks after Illumina confirmed it was slashing the cost of individual genome sequencing from $48,000 to $19,500, or down to just $9,500 per genome for patients who would clinically benefit from having their genome sequenced.
The Illumina price-cutting annoucement coincided with Life Technologies reporting on the establishment of a collaborative initiative aimed at determining whether whole-genome sequencing can help to guide treatment decisions for a range of difficult-to-treat cancers.
Life Technologies is setting up the Genomic Cancer Care Alliance in collaboration with the Fox Chase Cancer Center, Scripps Genomic Medicine, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, and US Oncology, which will serve as the contract-research and site-management organization for the study.

on January 14, 2013 - 11:50 PM
In theory, the defense-laden Sabres can keep all nine of their NHL defensemen in Buffalo. The roster limit is 23, so they can field 12 forwards, two goaltenders and nine blue-liners.
That, however, would not give Relativity or Big Bang a run for best theory ever. It would waste talent, assets and the patience of players and coaches.
So, with the season opening in just five days, the Sabres' brain trust has significant decisions to make. It's likely one was made for them Monday.
Prior to the intrasquad scrimmage that brought 10,175 fans to First Niagara Center, the Sabres lost minor-league defenseman Joe Finley on waivers. The New York Islanders claimed the hulking 6-foot-8, 249-pounder, who had one goal, five points and 81 penalty minutes in 36 games with Rochester.
"It was disappointing," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said after the 1-1 scrimmage tie. "While I was surprised, there's an element to Joe's game that I understand why a team might have an interest in him."
Finley appeared in five games with Buffalo last season but played less than eight minutes per outing. T.J. Brennan, meanwhile, is competing for significant minutes with the Sabres. After leading the Amerks with 14 goals and 35 points in 36 games, he arrived in Buffalo's camp Sunday to skate against the other eight blue-liners who are eager for playing time.
Like Finley, Brennan would need to clear waivers to return to Rochester. If a player with a limited NHL role like Finley can get claimed, it's a certainty the offensively gifted Brennan would draw suitors. Any thoughts the Sabres had about sneaking him back to the minors to ease their logjam are probably gone. The same goes for the other NHL-caliber blue-liners.
"You'd prefer trade versus waivers for the individual," Regier said. "If the player can't play here, you'd hope that they'd have an opportunity elsewhere and you can get something in return for that as well."
The Sabres normally dress six defensemen. They've had eight on the roster at various times through the years, but coach Lindy Ruff has expressed his disdain for the practice.
At least one blue-liner has to go. The question is who.
"What's obvious is we have nine guys that can play," Ruff said. "It's a decision that we're going to have to make when it comes down to our first game on who those six guys are going to be."
Tyler Myers and Christian Ehrhoff, by virtue of their status and contracts, are not going anywhere. Here's a look at the remaining defensemen.
• Jordan Leopold: He has 23 goals and 36 assists over the last two seasons, making him one of the Sabres' most consistent defensemen. He also makes a reasonable $3 million. But he's in the final year of his contract and could be lost for nothing at the end of the season.
• Robyn Regehr: Acquired prior to last season, Regehr was viewed as the missing, physical, stay-at-home piece of the Sabres' puzzle. He was one of the dominant players in the scrimmage, but he finished last season getting ripped by Ruff for allowing a goal in Philadelphia that ended Buffalo's playoff hopes. (Ruff later apologized.) Regehr, 32, also is in the last year of his contract, which pays $4 million.
• Andrej Sekera: The 26-year-old is in the second season of a contract that averages $2.75 million. He's blessed with offensive skills, especially skating. He underachieved with three goals and 13 points in 69 games last year.
• Alexander Sulzer: Acquired at the trade deadline as a throw-in to the Cody Hodgson deal, he blossomed in Buffalo and was arguably its best defender down the stretch. He had three goals and eight points in 15 games. The 28-year-old was re-signed to a one-year, $725,000 deal.
• Brennan: He had one goal and no assists in 11 games with Buffalo last year. The 23-year-old makes $550,000.
• Mike Weber: A physical defenseman, Weber has had his ups and downs during four seasons with Buffalo. There have been times he's been a vital piece to the blue line, and others when he can't crack the lineup. He makes $900,000.
• Adam Pardy: The biggest unknown among Buffalo's defenders. Acquired as part of the trade that brought Steve Ott to town over the summer, Pardy had three assists in 36 games with Dallas last season. He played 30 games for the Stars the previous year after 57- and 60-game campaigns with Calgary. He's in the final year of a contract that pays $2 million.
There's no easy fix to get to six. It appears trades or nail-biting while sending someone through waivers is imminent. The Sabres need to be at the roster limit at 5 p.m. Friday, so the final time to place players on the 24-hour waiver wire is noon Thursday.
"There'll be a lot more players on waivers Thursday afternoon," Regier said, "and there'll be competition in the waiver system."

"I don't think you understand what we went through the last two years," Niblett said. "These guys made no bones about it in January. The number one goal is to win a state championship. Then we wanted to talk about doing something a little bit better than that and let's go greatness."
With Opelika's pass rush creating some early problems for the Hoover offense, the Bucs turned to the running game and speedy Calen Campbell to get the job done. A player that has gotten stronger as the season has gone along, he proved to be the difference maker Friday night for Hoover.
Carrying the ball 30 times for 191 yards and three touchdowns, Campbell broke the Super Six record for carries and yardage and tied the record for most rushing touchdowns in a game. Campbell said while he's been getting stronger as the season has gone along, the key to his play this year and in the championship game was his offensive line.
"This is just everything we wanted," Campbell said. "We knew that on defense Opelika was going to be a physical bunch and kudos to them. I took a lot of hits and I'm pretty sure our receivers took a lot of hits and Connor Short took a lot of hits. This is just everything we planned, not from the start of the season but since January when we started working out. It's everything we expected.
"I have absolutely gotten stronger, when my offensive line got stronger," he added. "I go as they go. They come in every day and watch film and they go to work for me. They work for everybody on offense. The anchor of a good offense is a good offensive line."
The game started out as a defensive struggle with both teams trying to settle into the game in front of a crowd estimated at nearly 30,000. Late in the first quarter the Campbell show got underway and it came with the big play. Taking over on its own 25, Hoover got an 11-yard pass from Short to Michael Powers on the first play. On the second play of the series Campbell took the handoff and broke through the right side of the line. Racing through the Opelika secondary, he put the Bucs on the board with a 64-yard run.
Things went from bad to worse for Opelika moments later when quarterback Matthew Christian threw to Marlon Humphrey's side. That proved to be a mistake as the junior cornerback took the ball away from the receiver and raced to the three-yard line before being knocked out of bounds. Campbell punched it in for the touchdown on the first play and the rout was on.
A short missed field goal late in the first half cost Opelika the chance to get some momentum and Hoover would make the Bulldogs pay in the final 24 minutes. Driving 57 yards to the Opelika four on its first possession of the second half, Hoover kicked a 22-yard field goal for the 17-0 lead.
With Hoover's defense controlling things at the line of scrimmage the offense finished off Opelika with two more scores in the fourth quarter. The first came on a Short touchdown pass to Cooper Carden with Campbell racing in from 45 yards out for the final margin of 31-0.
The one bright spot for Opelika was the running of senior tailback Calvin Bryant. Finishing with 85 yards on 19 carries, he carried the load for an offense that was held to just 181 total yards in the shutout loss.

Dried blood spot (DBS) technology, a very simple technique for collecting, shipping, and storing blood samples, is widely used in applications such as screening for metabolic and sickle cell disorders, and HIV and malarial infections. The method involves spotting 15 μL of blood from a finger or heel prick onto absorbent filter paper that is then shipped and stored at room temperature (Figure 1). For analysis, the blood spot is punched out of the filter paper and the blood is extracted using a solvent (typically methanol) containing an internal standard.
Although DBS has been in existence for almost 50 years, the technology could only be used to screen for the presence or absence of a particular marker—a simple yes or no answer. It could not be used to determine to what extent a marker is present because the analytical technologies were not sensitive enough to obtain reliable, quantitative data from such tiny blood samples.
It is for this reason that DBS has not been widely utilized within drug discovery and development process. However, recent advancements that have been made in the sensitivity of analytical technologies—mainly mass spectrometry and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography—have overcome this limitation. As a result, there is heightened interest within the pharmaceutical industry to replace liquid blood sampling with DBS.
DBS sampling can offer enormous advantages over liquid blood or plasma in both preclinical and clinical studies. These advantages include, but are not limited to, a significant reduction in the volume of blood collected, a simplified process that does not require the need to centrifuge, sub-aliquot, freeze, and defrost samples (all of which can introduce errors in the analysis), improved safety with handling, shipping, and storage at room temperature, improved data quality, improved compound stability for drugs and their metabolites, and considerable cost savings.
The use of DBS in preclinical studies results in a fivefold reduction in the volume of blood collected, which has a significant impact on animal studies and data quality (Figure 2). The number of rodents needed for each study can be reduced by up to 75%, and because fewer animals are needed, the quantity of compound needed for testing is also greatly reduced. The quantity of compound required for animal studies is very important in the early stages of drug development when the synthesis of the compound has not yet been optimized and is costly, time-consuming, and difficult to achieve.
DBS sampling also contributes to the generation of higher quality data in pre-clinical studies because more time points can be added without the need for additional rodents and the technology allows for serial pharmacokinetic (PK) profiling. Serial PK profiling eliminates the variability between animals observed when using composite profiling and greatly improves the quality of the data. In addition, DBS allows for pre-clinical juvenile toxicology studies to be conducted in small animals where the availability of blood has always been a problem. These studies are always necessary and required by regulatory agencies in support of clinical pediatric studies.

Graduated with MA joint Honours in Philosophy & English Literature in 2007 from The University of Edinburgh and have completed Post-graduate Studies in Environment, Culture & Society in School of Geosciences at Edinburgh University this year-2012. Have always been fascinated in how people percieve and respond to phenomenon around them. During my post graduate studies I looked at different intervention programmes that are used to try and implement long term behavioural change in people. Many of these programmes analysed the motivations and beliefs held by people that prompt them to act and behave in certain ways and to hold onto beliefs even when they acknowledge that to do so is irrational.
I'm interested in looking at whether trauma (particularly childhood trauma) in a person's life has an effect on their percieved belief that they have experienced psychic phenomenon or that they have the ability to psychically connect with the dead.

First Niagara Financial Group on Tuesday replaced its charismatic CEO John R. Koelmel, who was responsible for building the bank, in a sudden and surprising move by its board of directors.
The Buffalo-based banking company, which has grown four-fold under Koelmel's leadership in the last few years, announced late Tuesday that Koelmel will leave his position as president and CEO effective immediately. He also stepped off the board in accordance with company by-laws. In a press release, the bank described the action as a "mutually agreed upon departure," but did not elaborate.
The board appointed Gary M. Crosby to serve as its interim president and CEO, while a national search is conducted for a permanent replacement. Crosby, 59, is currently executive vice president and chief administrative and operations office of the bank.
The board's independent directors formed a special search committee, chaired by board member Nathaniel Woodson. The bank said it will retain an executive search firm, and will "conduct a thorough and expeditious search, considering both internal and external candidates."
"John Koelmel has guided the company's transformation from a local thrift to a leading northeast banking franchise, and led First Niagara during a period of difficult economic conditions and financial industry turmoil," said Board Chairman G. Thomas Bowers. "The Board and I are grateful to John for his leadership through this critical period in our history and for positioning us so that we can focus on enhancing shareholder value through continuing organic growth and the efficient operation of the business we have today."
Koelmel, a Western New York native and career accountant who took the helm of the bank in 2005, steered the bank through the financial crisis unscathed, directed initiatives to raise significant amounts of capital and invest in the bank's operations, and then led the bank through a rapid period of growth. Under his tenure, the bank acquired 57 branches in Western Pennsylvania and then two banks in Eastern Pennsylvania and New England before snapping up HSBC Bank USA's entire upstate New York branch network.
As a result, the bank surged from $8 billion in assets to $38 billion today, with 430 branches in four states, making it a Northeast regional powerhouse, and propelling it into the ranks of the nation's largest banks.
However, the bank has now stopped its acquisition binge to focus instead on efficiently and effectively running what it has, making sure it can grow internally and be more profitable with its existing customer base. That's an effort to boost its financial performance and especially its stock price, which has languished in the basement for years, under-performed peers and disappointed shareholders. The bank has been under tremendous pressure to get its stock price up.

Music for the song, tells the story of the struggle of people against evil. Every person behind the white angel there, but even he can wear a black coat. Below is a translation from the original Russian text.
Fate separated us into good and evil, But we are still human beings and nobody can discern. We're all on the edge, and all the enemies of each other. But there is one point where you can get lost.
Come out of the twilight, and find themselves You have to keep the source of fire. What's behind your back? Light or dark? White angel wore a black coat.
We disappear when we look at the light of the sun, And I am to be dark forever. I exist under the name recognition of evil. And in the sky is my companion, her name is Moon

Seth Meyers's comedy often trades on the snark, but when it came to his marriage proposal to longtime girlfriend Alexi Ashe, the Saturday Night Live star was nothing but sweet.
"I tied [the ring] in a bow around our dog's collar," Meyers, 39, tells Jimmy Fallon of his engagement story, as the two discussed engagement woes.
Meyers, who will take over for Fallon on Late Night in February, said Ashe arrived home later than expected from her job as a human rights lawyer, leaving him to watch his canine friend with concern.
"I just had to sit there looking at the dog. I was like, 'The dog's going to eat the ring!' " Meyers jokes to Fallon.
All ended well – the ring was safe and the proposal was accepted. "Did I cry? Yeah, a little bit," Meyers, who's starring in Hulu's original series The Awesomes, confesses.
Now that he's happily ensconced in wedding planning, Meyers jokes that his fiancée's "excellent taste" leaves little room for his own input.
"Every now and again, she'll throw me a courtesy question," Meyers says. "Do you think the invitations should have seashells or lighthouses? I'll be like, 'Seashells?' And she'll be like '...Not lighthouses?' "
"I'm like, 'Don't ask me if there's a right answer!' She'll have to make it easier for me. Like, 'You either get to have lighthouses or rattlesnakes,' " Meyers says with a laugh.

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
For the eggs and tortillas
6 eggs
2 tablespoons cold water
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 (10-inch) spinach or tomato flour tortillas
For the cilantro cream
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
Combine all the beef ingredients in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are very tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, water, and salt in a medium bowl just until blended. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until the eggs are scrambled and cooked, but still moist.
Add the eggs and cilantro to the beef mixture in the skillet; stir gently to combine.
Stack the tortillas between 2 paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until moist and warm.
Meanwhile, stir together all the cilantro cream ingredients in a small bowl.
To assemble each burrito, spoon about 1 cup of the beef filling in a row across the center of a tortilla; spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cilantro cream over the beef filling. Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla over the filling. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling and roll up; slice diagonally in half.
Whatever you do for Mom, be sure your heart's in it. Anything you do, from the most elaborate spread to the simplest bowl of granola with fruit, it will mean the world if it comes with plenty of love and lots of care. Moms go for that kind of thing.

The "New Orleans vibe" of Sunday's Mardi Gras parade in Nevada City got hold of Walt Gray years ago — and never let go.
Gray, anchor and reporter at KXTV News 10 in Sacramento, is grand marshal of Sunday's parade — repeating a role he previously held when the Mardi Gras festival was called Joe Cain Days.
"I was the grand marshal for the Joe Cain Days parade several years ago," Gray said. "I was amazed at how well organized it was, how festive — and how hard the folks up there party."
The parade starts at 2 p.m. Sunday along Broad Street in downtown Nevada City. More than 30 entries are expected, including three marching bands — Lyman Gilmore School, Nevada Union High School and Sacramento High School, said Nevada City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cathy Whittlesey.
"It's a high energy parade," she said. "We have bands playing, people dancing, doing Jazzercise."
In addition, there is a Mardi Gras Street Faire on North Pine Street from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The faire includes food, drink, crafts and clothes.
Also, a Masquerade Ball will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday at Miners Foundry Cultural Center, 325 Spring St. The Holcomb Brothers Band will play southern rock and Cajun food will be available for purchase.
Tickets (21 and over) are $12 advance at the Chamber office, 132 Main St., Nevada City or National Hotel, or $15 door.
For information, call 530-265-2692.
Festivities continue after Sunday's parade with a Carnavale at Miners Foundry from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door, with children admitted free.
The Carnavale features a full bar for adults, New Orleans-style food, hot dogs, ice cream, desserts and specialty coffees.
Entertainment includes Cajun music, juggler and storyteller Izzi Tooinsky, drummers, belly dancers, and a bounce house.
Gray, a motorcycle rider, said he has traveled many times to Nevada County and is host of the charity ride for the Make-a-Wish Foundation (www.waltgray.com). On Sunday, however, his transportation is likely to be a carriage, which he will ride with his three kids — Abby, Kelly and Joseph.
He is married to TV10 meteorologist Monica Woods.
"I've been to New Orleans a few times," Gray said. "And the vibe is the same (as Mardi Gras in Nevada County)."
Sunday's weather might offer a break from recent showers, as the National Weather Service predicts a 30 percent chance of showers throughout the day under mostly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 54 degrees.
Other members of the Mardi Gras Court are: Sally Harris (queen), who is Nevada City Mayor and City Council member.
She serves on numerous local and regional commissions and committees. Paul Matson (king) is the longest-serving councilman in Nevada City Council history, having served five terms from 1978 to 1998.
He is president of the Miners Foundry Board of Directors. Paul Emery (Duke) is news director of KVMR FM Nevada City.
He is also executive director of The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley. Gretchen Bond (Duchess) is executive director of the Miners Foundry Cultural Center. She has served as a leader in numerous local and regional arts and educational nonprofit organizations.

Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody – who play a couple on The O.C. – have broken up off-screen, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"It was a typical romance and they just grew apart," a source close to the pair tells PEOPLE, adding, "They've been on and off for awhile now."
In October, the couple of three years denied breakup rumors. That month, they were spotted looking lovey-dovey strolling hand-in-hand in Toronto where Bilson was shooting the sci-fi drama Jumper. Yet that romantic scene wasn't an indication that they were still together, says the source: "Exes do hang out."
But during Brody's gig with his band Big Japan at Hollywood's Viper Room on Dec. 2, Bilson – normally a fixture at his performances – was noticeably absent, fueling rumors that their romance was over.
In April, Bilson, 25, gushed about her beau, telling Teen People that Brody, 27, is her best friend. "We always have a lot to talk about, and we tell each other everything. I feel like I have everything now – the dog, the house, the job and him. I can't ask for anything more!" (Together the couple adopted a pit-bull terrier, Penny Lane.)
Early in their relationship, the low-profile couple, who started dating during the first season of The O.C. , denied rumors that they were engaged.

It's a somber week for Lady Gaga – and her Little Monsters.
Following Tuesday's Facebook announcement that she was "devastated and sad" because she couldn't walk and had to postpone several Born This Way Ball concerts, the pop star, 26, has officially canceled the remaining dates of her world tour.
"After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip," the singer's rep told PEOPLE Wednesday in a statement. "She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal."
Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting on Thursday.
"I hope you can forgive me, as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself," she wrote the previous day of postponing the dates. "I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and I'm sorry."
Get well, Gaga!

Lake effect snow is falling this morning in the Buffalo metro area and the Northtowns, and accumulations are expected to total up to a foot when all is said and done, according to National Weather Service reports.
This heavy lake effect snow migrated from the Southern Tier up through the Southtowns Friday and into the metro area just after midnight and dropped several inches of snow along the way. It is causing difficult travel with very poor visibility and deep snow cover on roads in the affected areas, according to weather service reports.
"We're still looking for to possibly 6-12 inches across Niagara County," said Jeff Wood, meteorologist at the weather service. "The main areas will be from across Grand Island along the Niagara County line and throughout Niagara County."
As of late this morning, radar indicated a well-established band of heavy lake-effect snow extending along the shoreline of southern Ontario from Long Point, Ont. through eastern Niagara County. Snowfall in the heaviest areas was falling at a rate of a couple inches per hour.
Wood said the heaviest snows should be "tapering off in Erie County in the mid to late afternoon hours today" while continuing in Niagara County into the late evening hours. As lake effect snow bands go, the heaviest snows are driven by wind direction, he said. In this case, the southwesterly winds are directing the snow bands north of the metro area.
In Buffalo, 35 to 40 plows are on the roads, according to City Hall spokesman Michael DeGeorge. Some truck crews are working 12-hour shifts, he said, as pre-salting of streets began late last night before snow arrived.
Mains and secondary's have been hit, DeGeorge said and, plowing on started on side streets began about 7 a.m.
At the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, the National Weather Service reported 8.0 inches of snow had fallen between midnight and just after 9 a.m. today.
Other storm totals received throughout the Buffalo-Niagara region included 10 inches in Glenwood/Colden with 9.5 inches reported near Williamsville and in Depew as of this morning.
There was 7.5 inches reported in North Buffalo as well as 5.5 inches near Akron, 4.5 around Kenmore and 4 inches near Boston and West Seneca, according to weather service reports.
As of 7:30 a.m., Pendleton had received only 1.9 inches, but that amount was expected to rise dramatically as the day wears on.
Contrasting those figures with areas in the normally hard-hit Southern Tier shows that the northern metro suburbs are bearing the brunt of this storm.
In Ripley, for instance, only 1.9 inches of snow had fallen over the last 24 hours. Other totals from the Southern Tier included: Rushford, 6.2 inches; Franklinville, 4 inches; Olean, 2.5 inches; and Randolph, 2 inches.
The lake effect snow warning for northern Erie and Niagara counties will remain in effect until 10 p.m. tonight.
Temperatures are expected to range from a high of 24 to a low of 16 degrees and winds will range between 2 and 12 miles per hour from the west-southwest.
Western Orleans County is also expected to be impacted by the heavy snowfall today. Wood added that an additional one inch or so of light snow is forecasted to fall today in the Southtowns as part of another weather system moving through the area.
Local police agencies reported no significant weather-related events overnight, however, authorities in Amherst said early today that the number of "standard slow-car accidents" were starting to pick up as the snow picked up in intensity there.
