Friday February 21, WNTA 100.5 FM, the voice of Life in Rockford, was taken off the radio and replaced with music. The comments of local citizens along with timely updates from the mayor, police chief, public works, Park District, county offices, Chuck Sweeny, Herb Allen and Mr. Fourth of July about upcoming events, weather concerns, traffic and too many other things we just turned to the radio for are gone.
Personally, we will miss Uncle Doug McDuff's morning talk radio from 6 to 10 a.m. We did not always agree with Uncle Doug but he told both sides of the story and you always knew what was going on in Rockford. This was not the proper way to say goodbye to a member of everyone's household. Doug, along with Ken DeCoster, will never be duplicated and you are missed. Hope to bump into you at a Friday night fish fry.

If Patter completes a trick successfully, give her a well-earned reward with the push of a button.
Exciting Play With Lights and Sounds
Your adorable Yippits pet has an animated face with light-up eyes and mouth, as well as lifelike moving legs. Patter can bark, growl, dance, and sing — she performs three cute songs, including her unique version of the Fijit Friends® theme, "I Love to Dance."

Shailene Woodley got some sage advice from someone who knows what it's like to be the face of a major movie franchise.
Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, 21, got straight to the point when it came to helping guide Woodley, also 21, as excitement builds for her upcoming Divergent series.
Woodley, who calls the instruction "really beautiful advice," told Vanity Fair that Lawrence said simply, "[The experience] will be the best thing that ever happened. But don't be an idiot, do a sex tape [or] do drugs. And go to Whole Foods when your movie opens."
Woodley, who still has "yet to meet Jennifer in the flesh," says it was "nice asking someone who has been through the process and is kind of seasoned in the young-adult franchise."
During Comic-Con's Divergent panel on Thursday, Woodley, who addressed her own Hunger Games audition, told reporters that the Best Actress Oscar winner told her how much she appreciates being a part of the franchise "and how much it's changed her life for the positive or in positive ways."
"She kind of helped me on this journey initially," Woodley added

I just got back from the game and omg my voice is so shot. Easily the best Wings game I have ever been to. Howard played amazing and saved our asses more than a couple times.
The crowd was unreal. I don't know how clear everything on TV was but there was a "Let's go Red Wings" chant literally every 15 seconds and the "You got Kronwalled" chant was just so epic. Nice to see the "Todd Bertuzzi" chant back as well. For my girlfriends first game ever, she is now spoiled if I ever take her to a regular season game. I don't have anything else to say, that was so great!

Christopher P. Scanlon beat back challenges from three other Democrats seeking to represent South Buffalo on the Common Council in Thursday's primary.
Scanlon, 31, won in the South District with 56 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results.
He was appointed to the seat in May and had the backing of some of South Buffalo's biggest political names, including Rep. Brian Higgins, Assemblyman Michael P. Kearns, city Comptroller Mark J. F. Schroeder and developer Carl Paladino.
Scanlon won 1,758 votes, defeating fellow Democrats Patrick B. Burke, 28, who had 742 votes; Anthony "A.J." Verel, 42, who got 339 votes; and Kevin M. Lafferty, 32, who received 287 votes.
Turnout was 28 percent.
In November, Verel will appear on the Republican line, and Scanlon will also be on the Conservative line.
The winner will fill a vacancy left by Kearns, for three years.
In other primaries Thursday:
Annette Iafallo defeated Rebecca Darch in a Democratic primary to fill a vacancy in the City Council's 2nd Ward, according to unofficial results.
Iafallo won 422 votes to Darch's 250, with 84 percent of the districts reporting.
Darch, 26, had been appointed to the seat, but Iafallo, 61, won the endorsement of the city's Democratic committee.
In November, Iafallo will also appear on the Conservative line, and Diane M. Kozak will be on the Republican and Independence Party lines.
The winner will fill a Council term that expires at the end of 2013.
Erie County
Republican Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr., 38, defeated Megan M. Lavin, 29, in an Independence Party primary to fill a vacancy in the County Comptroller's Office.
Mychajliw won 690 votes to Lavin's 553 votes, with 95 percent of the districts reporting.
Mychajliw will also appear on the Republican and Conservative lines in November against Democrat David J. Shenk, 42, who will also be on the Working Families Party line. Shenk was appointed comptroller in February, replacing Mark C. Poloncarz, who was elected county executive in November.
An election for a full term will be held next year.
Incumbent Town Justice Victoria B. Zach faced Michael R. Schneider in primaries on five party lines.
Schneider was successful in the Republican, Conservative and Independence primaries, while Zach won the Democratic primary.
Just two Working Families Party voters cast ballots, giving one vote to each candidate, ending in a tie.
In the Democratic primary, Zach won 69 votes to Schneider's 58; in the Republican contest, Schneider got 200 votes to Zach's 99; in the Conservative primary, Schneider had nine votes to Zach's eight; and in the Independence primary, Schneider received 17 votes to Zach's 13.
Zach and Schneider are competing for a four-year term.
Walter C. Cain defeated Matthew L. Smith in two primaries for a four-year term as town justice, giving him a significant edge in the November election.
Cain won 60 votes to Smith's 30 votes in the Democratic primary, and 20 votes to Smith's three votes in an Independence Party primary.
Cain will also appear on the Republican and Conservative Party lines in November, and Smith will appear on the Working Families line.
The winner will replace retiring Justice Daniel C. Kuligowski.

Feb. 7, 1941 – June 22, 2013
Janet E. Watson, an East Aurora sheepdog rescuer and volunteer, died Saturday. She was 72.
Born Janet Freeman in Fostoria, Ohio, she lived at the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home at age 9 and was later informally adopted by the McCarthy family from St. Marys, Ohio.
She went on to attend Ohio State University and worked as a secretary at Westinghouse in Lima, Ohio.
It was at Westinghouse that she met her husband, Penn Watson, who worked as a financial analyst for the company. They married in 1962 and moved to East Aurora three years later.
Mrs. Watson's passion for Old English Sheepdogs led her to volunteer for the New England Old English Sheepdog Rescue organization. She rescued four dogs.
Mrs. Watson also worked as a dog groomer, day care provider and grant writer while she lived in East Aurora.
She was a member of the Buffalo Tennis and Squash Club and East Aurora Country Club, and enjoyed hiking and playing the guitar.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by two sons, Penn and David; and a sister, Patricia.
A memorial gathering with a brief service will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the salon at the Roycroft Inn, 40 S. Grove St., East Aurora.

The Stetson men's soccer team will play its third straight home contest, hosting Florida Atlantic on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. The Hatters are coming off of a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to FIU on Saturday, while the Owls are looking for their first win since August.
Florida Atlantic comes to DeLand with an overall record of 1-5-1, having failed to win since a 3-0 road victory at Jacksonville on August 31. Most recently, the Owls fell to another common opponent of the Hatters, West Virginia. While Stetson dropped their game at WVU by a score of 1-0, FAU fell to the Mountaineers 4-0 on Sunday. Deniz Bozkurt leads the Owls with two goals so far on the season.
Florida Atlantic owns a 22-12-2 advantage over Stetson in the all-time series between the two teams, which dates back to a forfeited game back in 1997. Last season the Owls defeated the Hatters by a score of 2-1 in Boca Raton.
After a long two weeks off between games, Stetson came out hot at home against then 5-1-1 FIU on Saturday, scoring the first goal of the game in the 32nd minute of play. Junior Evan Jimmo tallied his first goal of the season off of an assist by sophomore JJ Lofthouse-Smith. The Panthers tied the game in the second half before scoring in the first overtime period to top the Hatters at home.
Wednesday's contest will feature live stats at GoHatters.com and live video on HatterVision. Fans can also keep up with the Hatters by following the Stetson Men's Soccer Twitter Feed at @StetsonMSoccer.

Redmayne, who also played Michelle Williams's love interest in My Week with Marilyn, is enjoying a booming career. But you'd never know that the 30-year-old Brit has Kim Cattrall to thank for his success, or that he was destined for a role in Les Mis as a child. P.S.: Redmayne's also won a Tony and an Olivier Award for the play Red.
Here are five things you should know about Redmayne:
Kim Cattrall's approval was pivotal: "I did a play in London called The Goat," he recalls. "I won a prize, and I couldn't go be there, but my parents went, and Kim Cattrall gave the prize. When my dad saw that Samantha from Sex and the City was giving me a prize, then it affirmed in my parents' mind that they were allowed to let their son continue to be an actor."
In fact, the two stars didn't meet until years later, but Cattrall is anxious to see his latest turn: "In 2005 I had the honor of presenting him the Ian Charlston Award as 'the most promising newcomer' at the Evening Standard Awards in the U.K.," she told PEOPLE Thursday. "Unfortunately he was away working, but I did meet him a few years later and he told me his father was impressed he won the award but over the moon I was presenting. I have followed his career ever since and cannot wait to see him in Les Miserables."
His first Les Mis experience: "I saw it when I was 7 and wanted to be Gavroche, [the young street urchin who helps the rebels]."
His 'oh s–––' moment on set: "We were lying in the sewers half dead, swimming in s–––, and you're actually lying there for 12 hours. We're doing a close-up, and [director Tom Hooper] is saying, 'Hugh, Eddie, you need to be still. Or it doesn't look like you're dead.' We're like, 'Dude! We can't control our bodily functions.'"
Be careful going to karaoke with him: "My karaoke song of choice is "Bat Out of Hell". About three minutes in to the 12-minute song, I keep getting, 'Shut up!'"
He's pals with Spider-Man: "Andrew Garfield is is one of my best friends," he says. "I get great inspiration from he and Tom Sturridge, friends of mine who are my age who are doing great work."

Shelby Balcom is just 15 years old, but she wrote a new page in the 87-year history of the Gow School, nestled on 100 wooded acres in South Wales.
A year ago, Balcom became the first girl in the college preparatory school's traditional program, which is tailored to help children with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities.
Now she has company. Three more high school-age girls have taken the plunge, and Gow is helping them to achieve success despite dyslexia and learning challenges.
For junior Janna Milks, 16, taking a chance on Gow was a matter of survival. An 11th-grader, she entered Gow last September at a fourth-grade reading level and had hit rock bottom in a public school setting.
"I couldn't read my notes, couldn't spell or take tests. I kind of gave up and stopped doing my homework," said the East Aurora teen, who is severely dyslexic.
"I knew my future depended on it," Janna said. "The way I was changing was destroying my family. This place definitely changed my life."
The four girls have become pioneers in Gow's new mission to become coeducational.
For now, the girls are "day" students, since the Gow School – with 143 male boarders – is not equipped to house girls.
"More people know about us in major metropolitan areas than here," said M. Bradley Rogers Jr., Gow's headmaster since 2004. "We're not ready to board girls, yet.
"Everybody knew Gow would go coed. The question was when. We realize this is new territory. It's far from an impulsive move."
Gow is purposefully taking its time. But Rogers envisions the program growing, hoping the school acquires a home in East Aurora where girls can dorm.
"This is a shift in programming that we want to handle with care," Rogers said. "I want to honor the school's traditions and grow the girls' program slowly. I don't want to overwhelm the school."
Gow has been known as a leader in the field of helping boys in 7th through 12th grades with dyslexia. Its 4-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, smaller classes and individualized attention have helped it achieve success with its students.
Gow's program has been built around boys since its founding in 1926 by educator Peter Gow Jr. – who had been an instructor at Nichols School and the Park School of Buffalo – with insight from his colleague, neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton.
Gow has come a long way. Instruction in the beginning took place in the woods and in tents, teaching boys with language difficulties. The year was 1922.
Four years later, Gow decided to start a school. Its first class consisted of 12 students and drew wealthy boys from prominent prep school families who resided in large metropolitan areas like New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia. As word spread about its success as a specialty school, it drew 100 students in 1961 and hit the 150-student mark in 1996.
Balcom is now making her way at Gow after having been a student in its summer program for three years. The East Aurora sophomore has officially joined the ranks of the 152-member student body, with pupils from 24 states and 27 nations.
"It didn't really faze me. I didn't feel like I was the only girl," she said. "I love the individual attention you can get with your teachers, even if you are day students."
The Gow experience has been invaluable for her. After three years of summer camp, she did not want it to end, her grandmother recalled.
"She had said, 'I wish I could go here. Why don't you take girls?' " Lynne Scepkowski remembers Shelby asking the school.
So when Gow called to say it was thinking of starting a program for girls, Shelby was ecstatic.
Shelby's learning difficulties started with reading difficulties in second grade. Testing revealed dyslexia, and her tutor mentioned the Gow School.
"The adjustment has been good. She was at a big advantage because she knew so many of the teachers, and most of the boys were pretty nice," Scepkowski said. "She's been doing very well. When you have only five to six kids in a class, it's so helpful."
"I think Gow has helped her tremendously in her studies. She holds her own with the boys. She's tough," Scepkowski said.
Even her 13-year-old brother, Max, an eighth-grader, now attends. He enjoys the smaller classes, individualized attention and outdoor educational opportunities like snowboarding.
For Janna Milks, Gow has been a savior. She knew she could not continue the way she was struggling at East Aurora High School.
"The teachers there told me they couldn't help me anymore," she said. "My parents are very college-oriented, and they could see this opportunity slipping away from me. I had to apply and try Gow."
Janna's mother, Beth, is a teacher and does college consulting work. She knew her daughter had to try something else.
"She would do great on her homework and then fail her exams. The reality was that when she did her homework, my husband and I were re-teaching her everything she learned in school," Beth Milks said.
In just six months at Gow, Janna's academic success has improved and so has her confidence.
"The biggest thing she has learned at Gow is she has confidence and believes she can succeed," Beth Milks said. "She now talks in class and is no longer afraid or worried about being made fun of."
Gow, with an annual tuition of $54,000 (even though it offers need-based assistance), is a financial sacrifice.
Milks said their son delayed starting college so Janna could get the help she needed at Gow.
Kristen Klementowski, 16, also joined the Gow roster last September.
"My parents wanted me to go. I used to go to Park, and no one believed I was dyslexic," said Kristen, of East Amherst. "All my friends just thought I was smart."
But she said she struggled with reading comprehension, vocabulary and long-term retention and application of reading material. Since attending Gow, she also has excelled in music and theater. "I love it," she said, praising the individualized attention and smaller classes.
Elma resident Emily Todoro, 15, became a Gow student in January. "I really like it. I feel comfortable here."
In the last few years, a growing desire to serve the immediate needs of the community, as well as girls, has been emerging at Gow.
Rogers clearly remembers when he first broached the idea with some of the boys.
"I talked to the ninth-grade boys," he said. Once the boys knew the girls would be expected to do house chores, as they do, and face the same responsibilities – even though they would not live on campus – they agreed.
Gow's first call was to Shelby and her grandparents.
It's not for the faint of heart, if you're one of the pioneering girls.
"They have to be feisty and strong in character," Rogers said. "We interviewed other girls who did not get accepted. They have to exhibit certain characteristics of strength, personality and grit. We can't take 'soft' girls."

Karina Smirnoff's DWTS Blog: 'It's a Very Tough Season'
It was such a shock to see Nicole get eliminated. She did such a fantastic job on the show. And you got to see Nicole as the mother. The way she loves her baby is awesome. She's so real, but at this point it would be really difficult to see anyone leave. You usually know who's leaving and who's staying by mid-season, but it's been so unpredictable. It's a very tough season.
Corbin and I were freaking out when we had bad scores and not the best dance. We were like,'That's it. We're going home.' It's like full-on panic. We take it so personal and so emotional and you start freaking out when the red like comes on. Corbin and I we're swaying from left to right because it's so difficult to stand still.
It felt really good to get the scores that we did. The cha-cha was awesome. It had a different energy to it. It was like the happy dance. It might rain today, but when the sun comes out everything is going to get better. That's the feeling we want in our dance.
It's a little intimidating to dance to a Cher song while she's watching and judging you. We're dancing the Argentine tango to one of her songs. It has a very clear character and story behind it, so we have to fuse it all together and make sure she likes it! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I want to enjoy it and make the best of it and hopefully make her proud!
Watch Karina explain why the Argentine tango is tough:

Installing Software from the KDE System Settings Menu
Think "installing software in distros like Debian and Ubuntu", and you think automatically of Synaptic, apt-get on the command line or the new kid on the block, Unbuntu Software Centre. Sometimes, you just overlook the obvious. Did you know that you can also install and remove software using the KDE System Settings Menu? Thought not. Me neither, until I accidentally stumbled upon it–and I wasn't even in the KDE desktop at the time. I was using the LXDE desktop when I spotted it in the Preferences section of the Start menu. Curious? Me too. Let's take a look.

Our family would like to publicly acknowledge the great work done by the Diamond Peak Ski Patrol, especially Dennis, Pat, Mike and their dispatcher.
Our 13-year-old son and a friend accidentally skied out of bounds recently while traversing the upper runs along the ridge, got disoriented and lost. Fortunately, they were able to call us and we were able to sleuth out approximately where they might be.
Thanks to the Diamond Peak Ski Patrol who were able to put together a search team that were able to locate them as evening descended. We appreciate their professionalism and hard work it getting these boys out of a very tough situation. For that we are extremely grateful.

Excavation stage one-call notifications: the best call you will ever make
William E. Balin
Vice President/COO
The Pipeline Group
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Presenter, 2007 APWA Congress
The excavation stage one-call notification, otherwise known as a construction stage notification, dig notification, routine notification, or just plain "The One-Call" is the best call that you will ever make when preparing to carry out an excavation project. By making the call, not only will the concerned excavator save time and money in the long run, but will protect their person, save lives, and protect property. According to the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) "Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) Report" for 2004, on a national level, "48% of the facility damages occurred when excavators did not notify the One-Call notification center"(1); furthermore, "58.2%"(2) of the damages that occurred as a result of no notification was to the natural gas facility.
To understand what constitutes an excavation we will look at the Virginia Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act, which states, "'Excavate' or 'excavation' means any operation in which earth, rock, or other material in the ground is moved, removed, or otherwise displaced by means of any tools, equipment, or explosives and includes, without limitation, grading, trenching, digging, ditching, dredging, drilling, auguring, tunneling, scraping, cable or pipe plowing and driving, wrecking, razing, rendering, moving, or removing any structure or mass of material."(3) While excavation generally excludes hand digging as a part of its definition, I would contend that one could puncture an underground pipeline or sever an underground cable as quickly and easily with a pick, shovel, or by pounding in a stake as quickly as one could cause this damage with mechanized equipment. Therefore, no matter how a person intends to disturb the earth, they should always call before they dig. According to the CGA Best Practices Version 3.0, "Currently 48 states have passed one-call legislation and have established one-call notification systems recognizing that excavation performed without prior notification poses a risk to public safety, excavators, the environment, and disruption of vital services provided by facility operators."(4)
However, the process is more involved than just making the call. There are several other steps that one must take in the excavation stage notification process. Considering that the pre-construction meeting has already taken place (for more information on pre-design and pre-construction meetings, please see the previous article in this series titled "Pre-design/pre-construction meetings: a necessary step in damage prevention"; the article has been published in the Excavator Safety Guide 2005 and 2006 and also in the APWA Reporter, September 2005 issue), the excavator has to take additional action before, during, and after the call that will make the entire process both prosperous and safe.
First off, before making the one-call, the excavator must first gather as much information as possible about the excavation site. This includes but is not limited to the following: State, County, City/Municipality, Street, Nearest Intersecting Street, and Second Intersecting Street (if possible). In addition, include permanent landmarks, GPS coordinates, and any additional information that will assist the facility owner line locator to find your proposed excavation site that is available. The next step after gathering all of the location information and prior to making the dig notification is to ensure that the excavation location is clearly marked in white. The utilization of white paint, flags, or other medium should be used 100% of the time. A few reasons for use of white pre-marks include but are not limited to the following:
Secondly, during the call, ensure that all of the information that has been previously gathered is properly passed along to the one-call center representative. This information will be read back to you as it is placed on the one-call ticket by the call service representative (CSR).
Once you have verified that all of the information that you have been provided has been received correctly, the CSR will ask if you would like a list of the members that will be notified to be read back to you. When this question is asked, say "YES" so you will have a list in hand of the facilities from which you should expect to see markings or get a clear no facilities in the area message.
There are a couple of points that need to be made at this time and are as follows:
Upon completion of this process, you will be given a one-call ticket number. Keep this ticket number handy as it is not only your proof that you made the one-call, but will give the call center a quick reference if the need should arise to retrieve the ticket in its entirety.
Finally, once all of the lines have been marked, the excavator is responsible for the markings. In fact, according to the CGA Best Practices, "The excavator protects and preserves the staking, marking or other designations for underground facilities until no longer required for proper and safe excavation. The excavator stops excavating and notifies the one-call center for re-marks if any facility mark is removed or no longer visible."(5) Once the aforementioned process is completed and you have waited the required amount of time, which will vary by state (see the individual state one-call websites and/or the state call before you dig law for more information on the time frames), you may begin your excavation.
In conclusion, the one-call excavation notification not only will save you time and money, but it will save lives and property. Plainly stated, making the call is the safest thing to do!
William E. Balin is the chairman of the One-Call Systems International (OCSI) Education Committee. He will give a presentation at the 2007 APWA Congress entitled "Construction Stage One-Calls: The Most Prudent Form of Damage Prevention—and—It's the Law!" The session takes place on Tuesday, September 11, at 3:45 p.m. He can be reached at (877) 933-7370 (ext. 224) or firstname.lastname@example.com.

He proudly told of how he had cradled a smiling Prince George in his arms early in the day before heading to a homelessness center in Sunderland in the northeast of England.
There, got his hands dirty – well, dusty – in the kitchen, sprinkling flour and rolling out dough to make chapati bread for a curry meal.
His thoughts turned to home when asked about his 4-month-old. "He was saying he had been holding him and his baby had been smiling into the mirror," said Jennifer Sams, 19, at the center.
Tim Rooke / REX USA
In Sunderland, William helped Sams, who was homeless for 2½ years, cook the chicken and vegetable curry. "He was so down to earth, you wouldn't think he was royalty," she said. "I think he likes to make conversation."
William revealed he likes curry – along with McDonald's and Nando's fast food – and thought his chapati was top-notch. "He was very impressed with himself and compared his to the photo on the menu. I couldn't see it myself!" Sams said.
"Let me know how it goes – especially the chipati!" William said as he left. "I could spend all day here chatting."
Tim Rooke / REX USA
'Your Lives Matter'William was visiting Sunderland's Dundas Street center, run by the Centrepoint charity, which he officially supports. "For these young people, when someone as senior as the Duke of Cambridge comes along and shows interest, that has a really powerful motivation and says to them, 'You guys matter. Your lives matter,' " said Centrepoint chief executive Seyi Obakin.
"I felt like I'd known him all my life, even though we only spoke for five minutes," said Wade Tench, who called Dundas Street his "home away from home." "I can't thank this place enough," he told William.
"He was very interested in what we do with young people," learning officer Alison York said. "He was just fantastic at putting everyone at their ease. He broke the ice by apologizing for disrupting the day."
Friday's visit comes four days before William will be guest of honor at the Winter Whites Gala, which will raise money for the homelessness charity. The gala, which will end with a concert starring Taylor Swift, is also set to honor rocker Jon Bon Jovi for his humanitarian work.

"Dear Janice,
"I have been reading your column for many years and have always found it helpful in selecting a restaurant. Now I have a question. My birthday is Jan. 1, and my wonderful family insists on my not cooking on my birthday. This is fine with me, but the trouble is finding restaurants that are open New Year's Day. I realize that after New Year's Eve festivities both owners of restaurants as well as their help are not keen on working this day. But, in this roaring metropolis, surely there are some nice restaurants open and willing to accommodate us. Could you possible research our area and list the restaurants open New Year's Day? This 'Birthday Girl' and others would really appreciate it."
– Lucy K.
Dear Lucy: Jan. 1 has always struck me as an ambivalent kind of day. Part of me wants to keep the hectic holiday going for a short time more; another part just wants to stay in PJs and slippers and rest, rest, rest.
New Year's Day is on a Tuesday in 2013, which is another strike against it, but a few places can be counted on to keep the spirit of celebration alive. One such is Della Terra in the Avant Building, 200 Delaware Ave. This is a handsome, glamorous, high-ceilinged room that looks out over pretty lighted trees. It features a contemporary menu with an Italian slant.
Some examples: pan-seared herb gnocchi accompanied by sage-infused sausage, or cioppini in a lobster-infused tomato broth. All the usual steaks are available, as well as a Dijon- and pretzel-coated pork chop.
Then there is the Roycroft Inn, 40 S. Grove St., East Aurora, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It offers a traditional, comfy, historic Arts and Crafts setting with a festive appeal. On the dinner menu: the likes of wild boar chops served with chili honey chutney and wild rice, and a free-range chicken breast served with creamed kale.
And if there are vegetarians in your party, they may well be tempted by stuffed acorn squash with rice and dried fruits. (I am not a vegetarian, but this dish called to me nonetheless.)
Asian restaurants are often a fallback when other eating places are closed, so I'll recommend the Eastern Pearl, 938 Maple Road, Amherst, because it's a little more glamorous than many other Chinese restaurants around here. Just a teeny bit more plush. A standard Cantonese menu is available.
Send your questions and comments about dining out to Janice Okun at email@example.com. She will respond in this column, which appears every Wednesday in the Taste section of The Buffalo News.

The Sisters Brothers: A Most (Un)usual Western?
I've worked in libraries for years including a few in Texas, so it is a wonder that I've never read a western. Part of the problem then with reading your first book in a genre is that you lack the language to properly describe it or make comparisons. Now I wonder if I shall ever read another for the fear that the next one won't hold up to The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt.
It is the gold rush years and the infamous Charlie and Eli Sisters are riding from Oregon City to San Francisco on orders from the Commodore to kill Hermann Kermit Warm. There is trouble with horses, whores, a red bear pelt, excessive brandy drinking, a man named Mayfield, a witch and a mysterious magical formula. Large sums of money come and go. The characters are unique, but without a lot of overall development. Is this usual for a western? Is the level of violence similar to other westerns? Is this a parody of the genre, a homage or both?
The introspection provided by the first person narration provided by Eli is darkly humorous, gritty and shockingly thought-provoking. The style of language was unique but never felt forced and I was drawn in immediately. Short chapters provide a fast pace, even when there isn't a lot of action.
While reading about this book, I came across term that was new to me: picaresque. A picaresque novel is one that is written in first person narrative in plain language and features a main character of a lower class (from rogue in Spanish). Reading about this novel description, I see that one of my favorite books, The White Tiger by Indian author, Aravind Adiga is also identified as a picaresque novel. And though the settings on paper are entirely different, the themes of both The Sisters Brothers and The White Tiger are somewhat similar. And while both books on paper don't fit my comfort-zone reading, they both stand out as memorable fiction. Both books also passed some critical muster when The White Tiger won the prestigious Man Booker award in 2008 and The Sisters Brothers was on the 2011 short list. I don't know if regular western readers will enjoy this, but fans of literary fiction might give either unusual novel a try.

quote: Take heart though, the technology to make fuel exists. When the price of oil gets high enough (actually stays high for long enough) that technology will be economically viable. Pilot plants have opened and idled with the rising and falling oil prices. IIRC sustained oil prices over $120/BBL are the estimated breakeven point.

We're TV-free but still like movies. While putting together a lasagna in the kitchen. Ivy and I watched Matilda on my laptop.
"Mom, does Matilda's dad love her?"
"Well, honey, I think he probably loves her, a little bit, but he's not a very nice person. And he doesn't know how special she is."
"You know how special I am!"
I sure do and if ever there was a defining moment that I felt like a good mom, it was then.
PS When you're moving it's not so weird to take pictures on furniture outdoors. (Ivy's crown hand-made by Erika aka Inspired Mama.)

Said player gets escorted out of casino.
Said player eats lunch and calls the casino for a comp room, the comp room is issued and said player returns to the casino to receive the room.
I'm gonna give it a try I think.
I'm looking at the ms laws and their are two seperate ones for tresspassing, one talks about returning after a warning, and another talks about entering without permission and mentions not being applicable to guests or people coming for lawfull buisness purposes, which really could be anybody if the property is a public buisness like a casino.
They are two different sections so I'm a lil confused
http://www.mscode.com/free/statutes/97/017/index.htm (<- Archive copy of dead link)
Here the index of the applicable laws I could find

What the law may say is meaningless. Do you think you could get a fair trial on this without spending many times whatever it is worth?

It's not all that uncommon for a casino to rescind a barring and invite the patron back (seldom for APs). I'm no attorney, and I could be wrong, but an offer of a free room sure sounds like an invitation to ME!
False arrest lawsuit, maybe??
I agree that an offer of a free room would be rescinding a barring. But this situation was about going back within a day or two. I wouldn't do that personally.
What I would do is take the room, but stay as far away from the casino area as possible. I would keep ALL documentation for this comped room. Then I would wait my usual 6 months before going back to play on a different shift. My saved documentation would be my "ace in the hole", just in case they tried something stupid, such as arresting me.

Scientists report on a new technology for the rapid, site-specific labeling of proteins in both bacterial and live mammalian cells. A team at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology and North Carolina State University (NCSU) Department of Chemistry developed an unnatural norbornene-containing amino acid, which could be incorporated at specific sites in a designated protein without affecting protein function or structure. Subjecting the cells to specially designed tetrazine-based probes resulted in rapid fluorescence.
Reporting their technique and experimental results in Nature Chemistry, MRC's Jason W. Chin and colleagues claim initial tests showed that their method was specific with respect to the entire soluble E. coli proteome and resulted in a reaction that occurred thousands of times faster than established encodable bioorthogonal reactions. "We show explicitly the advantages of this approach over state-of-the-art bioorthogonal reactions for protein labeling in vitro and on mammalian cells and demonstrate the rapid bioorthogonal site-specific labeling of a protein on the mammalian cell surface," they state. The team's published paper is titled "Genetically encoded norbornene directs site-specific cellular protein labeling via a rapid bioorthogonal reaction."
Their latest work builds on progress in bioorthogonal chemistry that supports the potential to harness the reaction between strained alkenes (including norbornene) and tetrazines as a means to rapidly and site-specifically label proteins. Indeed, Dr. Chin et al. point out, data indicates that the rate constants for such reactions are orders of magnitude higher than those for other established bioorthogonal reactions.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs are responsible for directing the coupling of a specific amino acid with its designated anticodon. Prior work has demonstrated that a range of bioorthogonal groups including alkenes can been genetically encoded using amber suppressor aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pairs. Work by the MRC/NCSU team had in addition demonstrated that by using the pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pair (PylRS/tRNACUA) from Methanosarcina species, they could direct the efficient incorporation of unnatural amino acids at specific sites in desired proteins in E. coli, yeast, mammalian cells, and even whole animals.
"We envisioned that this synthetase/tRNA pair might be used to site-specifically and quantitatively incorporate a norbornene-containing amino acid into proteins produced in diverse organisms and that the norbornene-containing protein could be labeled rapidly and selectively with tetrazine-based probes," they write
For their latest research the team designed a norbornene-containing amino acid, Nε-5-norbornene-2-yloxycarbonyl-L-lysine, which could be incorporated using the PylRS/tRNACUA system in a site-specific manner in E. coli and mammalian proteins. They then developed corresponding biocompatible tetrazine-based fluorophores that bound specifically to the Nε-5-norbornene-2-yloxycarbonyl-L-lysine amino acid, generating a rapid fluorescence reaction.
Tests using human myoglobin demonstrated that the labeling reaction was complete in just 30 minutes, whereas the labeling of an alkyne-containing amino acid at the same site required a 50x higher amount of fluorophore and took 18 hours to reach completion.
Importantly, the technology could also be used to site-specifically label mammalian cell surface proteins, the team stresses. While prior work had demonstrated that bioorthogonal functional groups can be incorporated at multiple acceptance sites at the cell surface, there hadn't previously been any reports that single, genetically defined sites on proteins at the mammalian cell surface cold be labeled using any of the currently available unnatural amino acids.
"We demonstrate that the labeling of an encoded norbornene is specific with respect to the entire soluble E. coli proteome and thousands of times faster than established encodable bioorthogonal reactions," the team concludes. Dr. Chin et al. are currently looking to expand their technique for imaging site-specifically labeled proteins in cells and whole organisms. "In addition, we are pursuing the discovery and genetic encoding of new, rapid bioorthogonal chemistries in proteins."

Farm Structure and Organization
Stay Connected
Agricultural production has shifted to larger farms, and farmers are relying more on contracts—and less on spot markets—to buy and sell inputs and products. Even so, small farms are still important, and most transactions continue to be made through spot markets where commodities are bought and sold in open market transactions for immediate delivery. Research on farm structure covers these elements, and also examines the ownership and organization of farm businesses; the links among farms, farm households, buyers, input providers, and contractors; and the mix of inputs and products on farms.
The ERS research program on farm structure examines developments in the farm sector as a whole and for individual commodities, assesses their causes, and evaluates their impacts on productivity, financial performance, prices, and environmental outcomes. ERS research provides detailed empirical analyses of specific issues related to the economics of farm structure and organization. For examples of recent and ongoing research topics, see Research on Farm Structure and Organization.
ERS also has three periodic report series related to farm structure:
For a complete list and links to reports in these three series, see Readings.
Finally, ERS and the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) jointly conduct the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), an annual survey that collects data on structural characteristics summarized for various classifications of farms—such as commodity specialization, sales class, and various farm typologies—to better understand the changing nature of farming. The Census of Agriculture, conducted by NASS, also provides information on the structure of agriculture that is used extensively by ERS for farm structure analyses. Census data are particularly useful when following trends over long periods of time or when analyzing small groups—such as minority farmers or producers of minor commodities.

Your Stories
Judy C. - Squirrel Hill
"Although I am lucky enough to never have lost a close friend or family member to gun violence, I feel that I have been impacted by what is happening all to frequently in our city and nation. Here is how gun violence impacts me. I find myself becoming inured to the weekly accounts of shootings. When I hear of another bright, caring, young person, filled with potential, killed all too soon, I wonder if they were the one who would have discovered a cure for cancer, lightened my life with their music, been the leader we need for the times ahead; I worry about sending our children to a friend's house to play and feeling uncomfortable to raise the issue of guns in the house with the parents; I'm forced to confront my own vulnerability to finding myself at the wrong place at a time when some person who should have been identified and receiving mental health services instead acts out his pain and demons by deciding to shoot up a shopping mall, movie theater, grocery store parking lot, or school. My experiences are limited when I self restrict my movement to parts of our city because I perceive them to be unsafe and view my neighbors as suspicious and dangerous. All these feeling wear me down but also spur me to action.
I have worked to quell gun violence as part of my temple and through the gun violence taskforce of PIIN. Through this work I have become aware of the many other Pittsburghers working to curb gun violence and force gun owners to be responsible gun owners. I am discouraged that so many of our elected officials fail to represent the strong feelings of the majority of their constituents who demand that the violence stop..."

Wild Earns MAC Tennis Singles Player of The Week
MUNCIE, Ind. - After helping lead the Ball State women's tennis team to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Michigan State last Sunday, junior Courtney Wild was named the Mid-American Conference Women's Singles Player of the Week.
A two-time career MAC Player of the Week, Wild helped turn the momentum to the Cardinals side of the court by picking up a pivotal victory at No. 1 singles. With BSU trailing the Spartans 3-2, Wild battled back from an opening-set loss to top MSU's Erin Faulkner 1-6, 7-6, 10-6 and even the match at 3-3.
With the win, Wild improved her overall dual record to 3-1 this season, while helping the Cardinals climb to 4-1 on the year. In addition, Sunday's victory marked just the fifth time Ball State has topped Michigan State in women's tennis, and first since the 2001 season.
The Ball State women's tennis team will host Cleveland State Saturday at the Muncie YMCA Tennis Center, with first serve scheduled for 1 p.m.

Your Cinnamon Roll & Morning Coffee: Powered by Oracle Enterprise Manager
By Ruma Sanyal-Oracle on Nov 07, 2013
Truth be told, as I was getting my morning coffee today, I was pondering the recent election results more than Oracle [there, I said it]. But then an email from Glen Hawkins from the Enterprise Management team hit my Inbox and I started viewing this video. It was about the world's largest convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, focusing on creating the best Digital Guest Experience (DGE) for their customers. Turns out that Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) powers 7-Eleven's DGE Middleware Platform as a Service solution that consists of Oracle SOA Suite, Exalogic, and Exadata. "We need to present a consistent view of 7-Eleven across all our endpoints: 10,000 stores & various digital entities like our websites and apps", said Ronald Clanton, the DGE Program Director for 7-Eleven. As 7-Eleven was rolling out a loyalty program with mobile support across multiple geos, it had many complex business & technical requirements, including supporting a wide variety of different apps, 10M guests in NA alone, ability to support high speed transactions, and very aggressive timelines. A key requirement was shortening the cycle for provisioning new environments. Whereas with other vendors this would take a few weeks, Oracle consulting showed them how with OEM provisioning new environments would take half a day, which was quite impressive. 7-Eleven has started to roll out this new program and are delighted to report that some provisioning cycles are as low as 10 minutes which includes provisioning the full Oracle SOA suite, Exalogic and more. They are delighted with OEM's reporting capabilities and customization thereof. Watch the video to see for yourself.
