TUSCARORA RESERVATION – A woman caught on security tape snatching a wallet in a convenience store this past weekend is now being sought by Niagara County sheriff's deputies. But the search may be a little easier since the woman used a store loyalty card with her name on it before she left.
A clerk at a convenience store in the 2200 block of Saunders Settlement Road told deputies that she sat down at a table to have some ice cream and set her wallet down on the table at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. She said when she spilled some ice cream on her arm, she left the table briefly to get a napkin and when she returned, her wallet was gone. The wallet contained $110 in cash.
Store security told deputies that the incident was captured on tape, which shows an unknown white woman wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans walk up to the table and take the wallet. Before leaving, the woman went to the register and paid for some items using a store loyalty card.
Store security officers said they would contact patrol with the name on the loyalty card.
Patrol reported that the investigation remains open.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Cell Therapeutics (CTI) is paying Chroma Therapeutics $5 million up front as part of a co-development and licensing deal for the latter's late-stage anticancer candidate tosedostat. The agreement gives CTI exclusive marketing and co-development rights to the drug in North, Central, and South America. Under terms of the agreement CTI will shoulder 75% of tosedostat development costs, subject to a funding cap of $50 million over the first three years.
The partners expect to start a U.S.-European Phase III study evaluating tosedostat in elderly patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during the latter part of 2011. Initiation of the trial will trigger another $5 million milestone payment to Chroma from CTI. Both FDA and the EU's regulatory authority have granted tosedostat orphan drug status for the AML indication.
Tosedostat is an oral aminopeptidase inhibitor designed to block protein recycling and lead to tumor cell death. Phase I monotherapy and combination studies demonstrated the drug has significant antitumor activity without causing the typical side-effects of conventional cytotoxic therapies, the firms claim. Potential initial indications for the drug include AML, MDS and multiple myeloma.
"Tosedostat, similar to drugs like bortezomib and lenalidomide, represents a departure from conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy towards more tumor selective targeted therapy that interferes with cellular pathways necessary for tumor survival," comments James A. Bianco, M.D., CTI's CEO. "In initial clinical studies, tosedostat was well-tolerated, given orally once a day and produced encouraging response rates in difficult to treat patients with acute leukemia and a variety of blood-related cancers."
U.K. firm Chroma is exploiting its expertise in chromatin biology and intracellular accumulation technologies to develop drugs against cancer and inflammatory disorders. Aside from tosedostat the firm has two other candidates in clinical development. CHR-3996 is an orally active optimised class I HDAC selective inhibitor that started in clinical development in 2008. Clinical development of a targeted HDAC inhibitor, CHR-2845, was also initiated during late 2008.
CHR-2845 has been developed using Chroma's Esterase Sensitive Motif (ESM) drug enhancement technology. The platform involves the attachment of specific chemical motifs onto active drugs as a means of enhancing delivery to intracellular targets and accumulating the active molecule within target cells.
In 2009 Chroma signed a collaboration with GlaxoSmitKline (GSK) focused on developing macrophage-targeted compounds using the ESM technology for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Under terms of the potentially $1 billion milestone and options-related deal, Chroma is undertaking four discovery and development programs to identify small molecule therapeutics. In August 2010 the firm received a milestone payment from GSK relating to progression of the macrophage-targeted HDAC inhibitor CHR-5154 into preclinical development.
Chroma licensed tosedostat from Vernalis in 2003. The latter will be entitled to royalties on future commercial sales of the drug.

Winter is just around the corner, but it won't be a time of rest for farmers.
That's especially the case for dairy farmers.
"There's no real break for farmers who own dairy operations, as cows need to be fed, provided water and comfortable living conditions, while milking still needs to be done two times daily, or at some operations, three times a day," said Mark O'Neill, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau spokesman.
There are many tasks to be completed before winter arrives.
"Farmers often have a schedule for the end-of-season inspection and maintenance of farm equipment and tractors. It also a good time to store agriculture supplies and check on inventory, so they know how much needs to be ordered in the future," O'Neill said. "The end of the year is also a time to double check to make sure various paperwork has been properly filled out and filed."
Marty Yahner, co-owner of Yahner Bros. Farm near Patton, is preparing for next year.
"We are preparing for the next planting season. The fall weather this year has been great. It has been a dry fall with above normal temperatures," Yahner said. "The biggest thing is farmers are taking advantage of the nice fall to prepare for spring planting and doing things like spreading fertilizer, tillage work, getting a jump on spring. That is great."
Time management is as important in the winter as it is during the growing season, said Tom Ford, Penn State Extension commercial horticulture educator.
"The development of crop budgets and enterprise analysis in respect to cropping decisions is the most difficult task, because producers have to anticipate their needs as well as recognize that there is price volatility in the global marketplace," Ford said.
No matter how well a farmer prepares for winter, heavy snow and ice storms can create havoc.
"The biggest thing we don't like are ice storms. We can move snow. We run into trouble with ice storms. That is the biggest threat to us and the cattle," said Gary Long, Blair County Farm Bureau president.
Blizzard-type conditions can be a problem for Yahner, whose farm is located in an area that often receives heavy snows with blowing winds.
"Whiteout conditions up here are dangerous. Conditions can be dangerous to even get to your work," Yahner said.
Heavy snows are tough for dairy farmers.
"Dairy farmers have the greatest challenge, since they need to keep farm lanes open to accommodate milk and feed trucks," Ford said. "Heavy snows that paralyze the area could prevent milk pickups resulting in less income for the farmer."
Heavy snows and bitter cold slow down work on the farm, said Ben Postles, an engineer at Penn England Farm near Williamsburg.
"Not only do you do deal with the normal cold weather problems, but you have to deal with snow removal to get the milk truck in, employees to work, and being able to get the cows fed," Postles said. "The bitter cold makes those problems exponentially worse. It also starts to have an effect on all of the animals. Cows are comfortable at cooler temperatures than humans, but when it is bitter cold, efforts have to be made to keep them warm and comfortable. Thus, adding more to the work load."
The worst type of winter is one where the weather fluctuates wildly, Ford said.
"Cold weather with an insulating snowpack protects small grain and cover crops in the field. Cold weather with a snow pack keeps fruit plants dormant while protecting the crowns of strawberries," Ford said. "When the weather fluctuates we see repeated freezing and thawing. This causes crops like alfalfa to heave out of the ground resulting in winter injury and plant mortality."
Winter weather won't pose problems for Harry Albright of Sinking Valley, a semi-retired soybean farmer.
"There is nothing you can do in the fields once they are frozen. They are done until spring," Albright said. "This is the time of year when we get soil tests done, line up fertilizer and seeds, things like that. It is a good time to work on equipment, things you don't have to use every day. If something needs worked on, we have time to work on it."

A woman's place is...wherever she wants to be
Susan M. Hann, P.E., AICP
Deputy City Manager
City of Palm Bay, Florida
Chair, APWA Leadership and Management Committee
I've never been too excited about the "Women in (fill in the blank)" groups, meetings, seminars, etc. I have always believed that success is hugely dependent on attitude, especially a willingness to see opportunities that are sometimes disguised as challenges.
The folks who've read my previous contributions to the APWA Reporter will note yet another sports analogy coming their way. I exercise every day. That's the commitment I make to myself. It keeps me healthy and relatively sane in a job with constant pressures, challenges and just general craziness.
In order to meet this commitment, I plan my exercise routine several days in advance. I have a loosely-formed weekly routine where I usually try to get my exercise in before work just in case the day gets away from me. However, meetings, plane trips and other things sometimes get in my way.
So what's the response when life interrupts the plan?
If it's raining outside, I have a few options—lay in bed an extra hour and obsess about "life isn't fair," make a commitment to exercise at lunch or after work instead or just get up and bike in the rain. Well, my husband and coworkers are quite sure I'm not made of sugar, and, therefore, I won't melt in rainy weather. So, most of the time, I just get up and go. Although the first minute or two is usually miserable, a ride in the pouring rain almost always turns out to be more fun, more adventure and the basis of a good story to share with all of my friends who think I'm crazy anyway.
If I have to travel, I pack my running shoes and check out the workout options at my destination before I ever leave home. No, I don't like to run every day, but I do it because it's important and it forces me to do something I know I can do—even though I don't want to.
So what's the point of this diatribe? The point is: If you want to achieve success, develop a plan to get there and commit yourself to your goals. Preparation, focus and dedication will take you along a path in the direction you want to go. Challenges and setbacks are just part of the journey. Excuses are just self-imposed roadblocks to meeting your goals.
So when Ann Daniels, APWA Director of Technical Services and Staffer Extraordinaire, told me she was planning a "Women in Public Works" event at Congress, I was a little skeptical. Over the years, I've come across these "Women in X" events where the main topic of conversation is "How I didn't get what I wanted out of life because I'm a woman and men are horrible." I'm not too sympathetic to this point of view, as I rarely accept excuses as a legitimate reason for lack of happiness. So I was curious to see how this event would play out at Congress.
Well, about 70 women and 2 men (but who's counting) showed up in what was very close to a standing-room-only crowd to talk about women in public works. But the most fascinating thing to me is that we rarely talked about "women in public works"—we just talked about "public works." We discussed leadership and management, two of my favorite topics. We had an excellent exchange of information between those newer to the field and those more seasoned veterans. We networked and we learned. The group included attorneys, heavy equipment operators, fleet managers, public works directors, consultants, engineers and many other folks who were eager to learn from each other. This event was a conversation that any gender would have found educational, informative and interesting.
One of the more interesting (at least to me) conversation threads centered around the "good old boy" network. Although traditionally an "older male" sort of phenomenon, the reality is that the "good old boy" system is just a power-structure network that is not always accessible to all. These days, the "good old boy" system might just include a few women. So, as public works professionals move up into managerial and leadership positions, they (regardless of gender) should do some routine self-assessment to make sure they are not perpetuating the exclusive power structure they previously criticized. The "good old boy" network is clearly visible from the bottom, but can be quite transparent from the top!
Other topics included mentoring, networking, creating flexibility in the workplace, encouraging students to enter the public works field, rising above gossip and escaping stereotypes. These are all legitimate issues for most people in any profession, so I was especially encouraged that the cross section of public works professionals who attended the inaugural "Women in Public Works" Congress event were so enthusiastic about developing a network of friends and business associates that will help them throughout their careers.
The Leadership and Management Committee and the Diversity Committee are now working together to plan events for the 2006 Congress. These are not "Women Only" events, but activities that will offer APWA members opportunities to hear from successful women in the profession and to meet other public works professionals who can offer career guidance and problem-solving assistance.
Also on deck for the 2006 Congress is a renewed emphasis on the Emerging Leader program. This group of 70 women and 2 men clearly showed that there is a demand for mentorship in the profession. If you don't know about the Emerging Leader program, it is designed to pair up those new to the public works profession and those who have gained wisdom through experience. The Emerging Leader and mentor spend some time together at Congress events and also take part in educational sessions designed specifically for participants.
So if you're planning to attend Congress next year and you'd like to participate in the Emerging Leader mentoring program, please e-mail me your name and contact information. If you're new to the profession and would like to spend some time with a "seasoned" veteran, make sure to get in touch with me or Ann Daniels at APWA. The Leadership and Management Committee will also be working with Ann to facilitate additional improvements to the program and the schedule for the 2006 Congress.
As evidenced by the crowd that attended the 2005 Congress "Women in Public Works" event, there are some outstanding women in public works. But more importantly, there are outstanding people in public works. Gender is not a qualifier or disqualifier for great public service.
So if you're a woman in public works or if you're anyone else in public works, set your goals and head towards them with solid determination. No excuses. Your community will be so much better because of you!
p.s. Go ride your bike.

Dear Carolyn: A close friend has a new girlfriend. I don't like her. She's treated me with disrespect and she just doesn't seem to be a nice person. She's said some really mean things about people right in front of them.
I'm planning on having a little housewarming party. Is there any polite way I can say my friend is invited, but I don't want him to bring his girlfriend over when I'm hosting events?
– You're Invited but Your Girlfriend Isn't
A: When she's said these mean things, you've asked her to clarify/apologize/step off, right?
If not, then you need to.
And if that doesn't improve the situation, then you tell your close friend you're concerned about some things his girlfriend has said. You ask if you're reading these situations correctly. You listen to his answer.
Then you give the girlfriend extra chances to show you why your close friend likes her, because that's what you do for close friends.
In the meantime, your party will happen, so invite her despite your reservations because that's also what close friends do.
Then, if you've dealt with the girlfriend directly; taken your concerns to your friend; granted the girlfriend second, third, nth chances to win you over; invited her to your event(s); and yet she's still mistreating you or others, then you get to say to your friend, "I'm in a bad spot because you're one of my closest friends, but Meanie has said awful things to so much of my guest list that she's no longer welcome at things I host."
In-laws are chilly
Dear Carolyn: How do I renegotiate the terms on which I relate to my in-laws? I was an independent adult when I met their son; he and I have been married two years. I had hoped for a close relationship with them, but it's clear they're not interested. They ask me to call them Mr. and Mrs., among other subtle things that keep me at arm's length.
While this makes me sad, I can accept that's the relationship we have. But they call me "Dear," which makes me very uncomfortable given that it's obvious they don't think I'm a "dear" anything. How can I dial it back to "Mrs. Lastname" without sounding snooty?
– In-Law
A: "Dear" isn't confusing when you treat it as a term of patronage, vs. affection. My guess is you tried to relate to them as a peer when they were more comfortable with hierarchy.
The only change I suggest is that you base your expectations on what your in-laws are willing to give, as opposed to what you're hoping to get. Less food for resentment that way. Besides, from your brief description, it really does sound as if arm's length is their preferred distance, not just from you.

The Pirates told their prized pitching prospect, "Go show us why you're Jameson Taillon, why you were second overall [pick]" when they promoted him 10 days ago to Double-A.
Taillon showed exactly that Sunday night in his Curve home debut at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
"Very polished demeanor-wise, temperament. Just fun to watch, fun to watch," Curve manager P.J. Forbes said of the 20-year-old right-hander.

Curve starter Jameson Taillon was the No. 2 overall pick by the Pirates in the 2010 MLB?Draft.
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Oscar Tejada gets the green light and heads for home as the Curve score in the second inning.
Taillon turned in one of the most impressive home debuts in franchise history. He took a perfect game into the fifth and finished with six shutout innings, allowing just one infield single while striking out seven with no walks.
Altoona's offense gave Taillon an early lead, and the Curve beat Richmond, 7-0, before 5,082 fans. Jarek Cunningham hit a big two-run triple in the second and Matt Curry smacked a two-run homer in the third to help the Curve take control.
Taillon, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 draft, has a chance to be a big league star someday, and he looked every bit the part Sunday.
"Honestly, when I came up, I really did not set expectations for myself," Taillon said of his promotion to Double-A. "I kind of just came in and had an open mind and wanted to learn and soak it up."
Even the highest of expectations may not have been good enough for Taillon's first two Curve starts, the first being Tuesday at Trenton. He's thrown 11 scoreless innings so far, giving up just five hits with 13 strikeouts and no walks.
"We told him when he came up his mindset was just to be aggressive," said Pirates minor league pitching coordinator Scott Mitchell, who also pointed out the comments about the organization stressing to Taillon to just be the pitcher they know he can be.
Taillon's perfect game ended when Richmond's Mark Minicozzi beat out an infield single to third base to start the fifth inning. Curve third baseman Jeremy Farrell made a nice diving stop to his left to snare the ball but couldn't get much on the throw to first.
Had Farrell not made the diving stop, shortstop Gustavo Nunez appeared to be in position to make a backhanded stop deep in the hole, but it's questionable whether he could have thrown out the runner.
Regardless of whether he would have had a perfect game intact, Taillon would not have been allowed to finish the game. He threw an efficient 69 pitches (48 strikes) in six innings, but he's already at 136 innings for the season, and the Pirates won't let him get too extended into games at this point.
"I really felt like I had all my pitches working for me -- fastball, four-seam, two-seam and my curveball and changeup," Taillon said.
Hunter Strickland finished off the shutout with a three-inning save, his second, while Richmond starter Chris Gloor (4-5) gave up six runs in 3 2/3 innings for the loss.
The combination of a dynamite curveball and good changeup -- which he threw about 8-10 times -- to go along with a fastball that sat primarily from 93-96 mph made Taillon nearly unhittable Sunday.
"Whenever I can put my curveball over for a strike and throw it with some good conviction, that makes my fastball play up a lot," Taillon said. "I throw hard, but if you're not getting anything else over, they can just sit on it."
He's been working on the changeup, altering his grip a bit by moving his thumb underneath a little more, Mitchell said.
"Whenever that's going over for strikes and I'm using it with good arm speed, [it's] just showing them something different, showing it to them down and giving them a different look," Taillon said of the changeup.
The Pirates also have let him start throwing a two-seam fastball (similar to a sinker) once again his past couple of starts. Of his fastballs, Taillon said it was about 80-20 four-seamers to two-seamers Sunday.
"I think it's going to be a big groundball pitch for me," he said of the two-seamer. "I can throw it whenever I'm behind in the count or whenever there's runners on [and] I need a groundball."
Taillon clearly has outstanding stuff, and Forbes said the organization is working with him on throwing his offspeed pitches early in counts. Once he figures out all the nuances, the better he'll be, and he will get a chance to do that when he starts next season with the Curve.
"He's showing three quality pitches right now, throwing them all for strikes, which means they can't just sit dead red," Forbes said. "And when you have the red that he has, that makes it hard on you as a hitter."
SUBHD: Game recap
Key player: RHP Jameson Taillon pitched six shutout innings, allowing only one hit with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Key play: 2B Jarek Cunningham hit a two-run triple in the second inning, and 1B Matt Curry hit a two-run homer in the third for a 4-0 Curve lead.

on November 8, 2012 - 12:08 AM
The specialty package was supposed to add a big-play element to keep defensive coordinators up at night, but so far has been an afterthought in the Bills' offense.
"I just hoped it would be a little bit better, what we're doing with it," coach Chan Gailey said. "I was hoping it would create a little more of a problem for people, but I think having it, they have to work on it and I hope that as time goes on we'll be able to use it more and more."
The Bills have run 17 plays from the Wildcat formation, gaining 74 yards. They've thrown once from the formation — and it was intercepted. (One rush by Wildcat QB Brad Smith went for a loss of 2 yards, but was negated by a penalty.)
"We haven't done a lot of it," Smith said. "It comes down to the situation in the game and what the coaching staff decides."
Of the 16 called run plays from the formation, 10 have gone for fewer than 4 yards, including a loss of 15 yards after a fumble.
"It's just like any other part of your offense," Gailey said. "You want to be consistent with it. You want to not have negative plays. If you can go get 4 or 5, 6 or 7 [yards], it's just like any other thing and now you've made them work on it because the possibility of a big play is there. So you've made them spend time on it but you've done something that didn't hurt your offense, it probably helped it in some ways. And I think that sometimes we think the Wildcat's going to produce something unbelievable. If it's just consistent, we'll be all right."
The Bills' two biggest plays out of the formation this season have been runs by Smith in which he takes the snap out of the shotgun and fakes a handoff to a sprinting running back. He ran that play to the left side for 30 yards against the 49ers in Week Five, then picked up 16 going to the right the following week in Arizona.
"That's just one of the wrinkles of our offense," said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who plays a bit part in the package by lining up wide. "I think every time we're in it, everybody expects to see a 30-yard run. Sometimes, even though it's kind of a gadgety thing, getting 3, 4 yards on a run isn't a bad thing. It might not be flashy, but that's something I think we're always going to carry.
"I think Brad's a pretty dynamic player. You saw it on the kickoff return [for a touchdown] and you've seen it a few times where he's been able to get in space. That's something for us that's not always a 'OK, let's get a big 50-yard play.' Sometimes it's just looking to control the ball and run it versus bad boxes."
The Bills ran the Wildcat just twice last week against Houston, with Smith getting stuffed for no gain on a carry and Fred Jackson gaining 2 on a direct snap.
"I wouldn't say disappointed," Smith said when asked about how much the team is using the formation. "I know there's a time and place for it. I'm happy when I can get the ball in my hands. There are opportunities to make plays when my number's called."
If the Bills do turn to the Wildcat on Sunday, it will be new to the Patriots this season. The only two games in which the Bills haven't run the formation are the season opener against the Jets (Smith was dealing with a sore groin) and against New England.
"I think Chan does a good job offensively," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "He gives you a lot of things to prepare for. That's one of them. I think all that wears on you defensively in terms of preparation. He does a real good job of game planning that, keeping you off balance and making you defend a lot of things."
The Wildcat was popularized against New England in 2008 when Miami ran it six times and scored five touchdowns in a 38-13 upset win.
"It really hasn't been a problem ever since the first time we saw it against the Dolphins," Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said of defending it. "But Buffalo does run it and they have the personnel to run it."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Researchers in the department of nanostructures and nanochemistry at the Genoa-based Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) report that they have imaged the DNA double helix for the first time through an electron microscope. Working with colleagues at the University of Magna Grecia in Catanzaro, the team says it developed a method that allows them to stretch DNA filaments throughout the entire double helix structure on a silicon surface. This permits the investigators to directly image the helix by a transmission electron microscope.
The study of single molecules, or of small quantities of molecules, is important for the understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms at the nanoscale level. The technique developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia will allow to see how proteins, RNA, and other biomolecules interact with DNA. "Our research originated from the awareness that, to deepen the knowledge of the way DNA works, it is necessary to have new tools, allowing us to show in a direct way its structure and its functions, both in the coding and noncoding portions," explains Enzo Di Fabrizio, coordinator of the study and director of the nanostructures department of IIT.
The researchers built a device made up of a silicon surface, with regularly spaced micropillars rising from it, interspersed by holes. The micropillars give the device the characteristic of super-hydrophobicity, while the holes allow the electrons to cross the sample to reach the microscope detector undisturbed, i.e., with no interaction with the silicon surface.
This experiment requires a very complex procedure: enclosing the DNA strands in a drop of solution; laying the drop on the device which, thanks to the micropillars, sustains its shape leaving the strands intact; allowing the solution to evaporate slowly and using the electron microscope to image the result. In particular, during the evaporation procedure, the connective movements inside the drop stretch the DNA strands, arranging them on the micropillars. At the end of the evaporation, DNA is then suspended between the micropillars and ready to be irradiated with the electron beam by the microscope.
The result has been obtained on strands made of six molecules, coiled around a seventh one. In the near future, the development of electron detectors 10–100 times more sensitive than those currently available will allow to directly image single and double DNA helices with the aim of studying directly both epigenetic phenomena and the information contained in the noncoding portions of DNA.

NAMI Members Rally in Support of Mental Health Parity
On Thursday, June 6 more than 2,000 supporters of mental health parity gathered in Washington, D.C. to urge Congress to act to end insurance discrimination against individuals with mental illness and their families. Among the crowd gathered on Capitol Hill were nearly 1,800 NAMI advocates calling on Congress to act this year to pass federal parity legislation. Among the NAMI state organizations represented at the rally were Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Many NAMI advocates boarded buses from as far way as Erie, PA and Zanesville, OH and rode all night to be in Washington for the rally. Despite very hot and humid conditions, many NAMI advocates visited with their members of Congress after the rally to urge support for parity.
Congressional Sponsors Call for "Parity Now"
Addressing the rally were the chief congressional sponsors of parity legislation (S 543/HR 4066): Senators Paul Wellstone (D-MN) and Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Representatives Marge Roukema (R-NJ) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI). All four urged continued grassroots support for fair and equitable insurance coverage for mental illness and groups supporting parity. Representative Roukema noted that parity legislation is now supported by nearly two-thirds of the Senate, over half the House and by President Bush. Representative Kennedy added that there is no excuse for Congress not to pass parity this year. Senator Wellstone noted that "it is unacceptable that health plans are allowed to discriminate against mental illness treatment in the year 2002 - we have come too far as a nation to allow this to continue." Finally, Senator Domenici added that illnesses of the brain are just like illnesses affecting any other organ of the body and their treatment should be covered the same way.
Also speaking at yesterday's rally in Washington was NAMI President Jim McNulty. A copy of his statement is included below.
Is Your Member of Congress Supporting Parity?
All NAMI advocates are urged to click on the following links to determine whether or not their senators or House member are cosponsoring S 543 or HR 4066: thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:HR04066:@@@P and thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:SN00543:@@@P. Members of Congress that are already cosponsors need to be thanked. Those who are not yet cosponsors need to be urged to sign on as soon as possible. All members of Congress can be reached by calling this toll-free parity number at 1-866-PARITY4 (1-866-727-4894) or by email at Write to Congress.

One of the major events of the season in Western New York bowling is the Tri-City Masters. The 22nd annual version of the tournament among bowlers in the Tonawandas, Niagara Falls and Lockport associations will be held Sunday, Feb. 10 and Feb. 17 at Island Lanes on Grand Island.
Gary Kinyon of Lockport is the defending champion. John Masiello was the high qualifier a year ago.
There will be a six-game qualifier at 11 a.m. on the first day to determine the 24-bowler match-play field. The top eight will be seeded to the second round. Two-game match play will be held on the second tournament date, also beginning at 11 a.m.
First prize based on 82 entries will be $1,200. In addition, the top finisher from each of the three associations will earn a $300 prize.
The Tri-City is an outgrowth of individual masters tournaments that each of the three associations used to hold.
The Niagara Falls Masters Championship was first held in 1964. Lockport held its first Allie Brandt Masters in 1980 and the Tonawandas first held its Herbert E. Burns Match Play Championship in 1971.
When the three organizations combined their majors in 1991, Jack Jurek won the first four editions and five of the first seven.
Kinyon, who also won in 2011, has also been runner-up in the Tri-City three times and high qualifier three times.
Besides Kinyon and Jurek, the only other multiple winner was Pat Bricks of the Tonawandas. Mike Hanes, who won in 2010, has been runner-up the last three years.
While on the subject, the New York State Masters will be held on March 23 at Doug Kent's Rose Bowl Lanes in Newark with a guaranteed first prize of $2,500 plus paid entry to the 2014 USBC Masters.
Bowlers looking to compete can save $10 on the usual $105 entry fee if paid by March 16.
The 42nd New York State Queens Championship is scheduled for April 13 at Town 'N Country Lanes in Guilderland with competition in Open and 194-and-under divisions. Entry is $65.
The New York State USBC Association already has received 475 entries to the 77th annual State Women's Championships at Del Lanes (team) and Sunset Recreation (doubles and singles) in Albany. Entries will close March 6. Association manager Mike Pettinella of Batavia reports two tournament weekends (April 26-28 and May 4-5) are nearly full.
The 89th annual state Open Championships will begin April 20 at Flamingo Bowl in Liverpool.
Entry forms and other information for all the state events can be downloaded from the association website.

Two people were killed in a crash on Highway 33 in Dodge County on Thursday afternoon.
The Dodge County Sheriff's Department said four vehicles were involved, and multiple people were ejected from the vehicles.
It happened at about 3:54 p.m. on Highway 33 between County Road AY and Madison Road in the town of Herman.
Four people were ejected from a SUV. A woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and a toddler is in critical condition. Another woman in the SUV is in critical condition, and a man was injured. The toddler and woman were taken by helicopter to hospitals.
"At this point in time, we believe the child was not restrained in any type of child-safety device. Whether there was some other type of restraint, we're still investigating that," Dodge County Sheriff's Lt. Brian Loos said.
A man in a pickup was killed. A woman driving a red car was OK and able to call 911. A tractor-trailer driver was not hurt.
Investigators said they are still trying to sort out where the victims in the SUV are from. Because some of them are in critical condition, they have been unable to talk.
"All four vehicles collided. I don't know that I could say the exact sequence at this point," Loos said.
The Sheriff's Department said a "passing maneuver was being attempted at the time of the collision."
All lanes of Highway 33 reopened by 8 p.m.

EAST LIVERPOOL - This year's edition of "Volley for a Cure" was an instant classic.
In one of the longest and most hard-fought matches of the year, the Potters found a way to rally past the Beavers for a 3-2 victory on Monday at Potter Fieldhouse.
The first game was a good indication of what was to come.

Beaver Local (8-8) won a marathon set over East Liverpool (11-5) by a score of 31-29.
The Beavers then looked to be in control after winning 25-18 in the second set. However, the Potters were not going to be denied. East Liverpool rallied from behind to win the final three sets and the match, 25-20, 25-20, 15-11.
"It was great stuff," East Liverpool coach Bob Shansky said. "If you were a fan here tonight, you got your money's worth, that's for sure."
For the Beavers, it was the same story as the first matchup between the crosstown rivals. The Potters also rallied from a 2-0 deficit when the two met earlier in the season at Beaver Local.
"When we play (East Liverpool), you know it's going to be a long and exciting night," Beaver Local coach Sarah Lowe said. "When you come into this atmosphere, you expect matches like this."
With the early season meeting between the two fresh in her mind, Lowe said she didn't feel at ease when her team took a 2-0 lead on Monday.
"In any match whether you're up 2-0 or tied 1-1, you can't get comfortable," she said. "Especially against East Liverpool. We play one set and one point at a time. You've got to make every point count."
Both coaches gave much credit to the opposite side. After a match that lasted two and a half hours, there really are no losers.
"Beaver Local played such great defense," Shanksy said. "We had to readjust so many times because they gave us so many different looks. When they play like that, you have to match them point for point."
Lowe echoed Shanksy's comments.
"You've got to give a lot of credit to both sides," she said. "They played through some injuries and showed toughness. On our side, we made a ton of changes and our girls were able to carry it out on the floor. Towards the end of the match, we kind of got away from our swinging and relied too much on our defense."
For East Liverpool, Jordan Chupa finished with 11 points and six kills, while Morgan Campbell added 10 points, 55 spikes and 17 kills.
Taylar Jordan had 58 sets, 18 assists, 22 kills and 68 spikes, and Jordyn Adkins had eight points and 38 assists.
Kylie Golden finished with eight digs, while Kathy Rowe added nine digs and nine points.
Caitlyn Davis had 34 spikes and nine kills, and Kiara Cowart had three kills and five blocks.
"We had opportunities to win that first game," Shanksy said. "We just didn't finish. After the second game, I kind of let out some of my frustrations. Sometimes, that brings them together. But in the end, it was all about senior leadership out there for us."
For Beaver Local, Tannar Dolhun finished with two digs, seven kills and three blocks, while Laini Roberts added seven points, one ace, 20 digs and four spikes.
Sierra Wright had five points, 14 digs, seven assists, five kills and one block, and Mackenzie Davis had seven points, 12 digs and nine assists.
Danna Talbott finished with five points, 33 digs, 12 kills and two blocks, while Nevada Dobbs added nine points, one ace, 14 digs, two assists, 18 kills and four blocks.
Miranda Turkovich had six digs, one assist and one kill, and Alison Buchheit had 10 points, two aces, 17 digs, 24 assists, seven kills and three blocks.
The teams came together to support cancer research, and both coaches applauded the efforts by the two communities.
"Great crowd, great feeling, great cause," Shanksy said. "It's the communities coming together that is special. Two Beaver Local girls came to us and asked to do it. Our girls were all for it."
Lowe said the "Volley for a Cure" game is always significant, but holds a special place in the hearts of these two teams.
"This game is important worldwide, but I think it means even a little more for this community than some others," she said. "We lost a member of the Beaver Local family last year and we all dedicated the game to her. Coming together and working together, what more could you ask for?"
In reserve action, Beaver Local improved to 13-3 with a 25-9, 22-25, 25-13 victory over East Liverpool.
Lynsey Reckner led the Beavers with 17 points, while the Potters were paced by Sierra Nichols (eight points, three kills).
East Liverpool will play at South Range on Wednesday, while Beaver Local will be at Niles on Tuesday.

, updated May 25, 2013 at 11:37 PM
People often accuse me of being too negative. That's one of the pitfalls of covering an NFL team that misses the playoffs 13 years in a row. But I am moved by the seemingly boundless optimism of many Bills fans.
A Las Vegas gambling site called Bovada recently posted the over/under for NFL teams in the 2013 season. They put the Bills' over/under for victories at 6½. We ran a poll on our Press Coverage blog and 70 percent of respondents – die-hard Buffalo fans, I'll wager – took the over.
The number seems high to me. I perused a schedule and tried to find games in which the Bills would be favored. I came up with three. In fact, another Vegas site posted probable lines for every NFL game and had the Bills favored in only three: Home vs. the Chiefs and Jets and on the road at Jacksonville.
So it depends on your perspective. I don't mean to douse anyone's enthusiasm. I'm encouraged by the signs of progress at One Bills Drive. It's good to have Russ Brandon calling the shots instead of Ralph Wilson. Doug Whaley and Doug Marrone are a refreshing departure from Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey.
But new doesn't necessarily mean better, not right away. Listening to Nix talk, you'd think he left behind the 1972 Steelers. There are still too many holes in this roster, too many young, unproven players for the Bills to make a serious run at .500 in Marrone's first year as a head man.
Mike Pettine will be more aggressive, but an underachieving defense has lots to prove. And while there were good reasons to ditch Ryan Fitzpatrick, there's no guarantee that his replacement will be good for 24 TD passes and 3,600 yards, especially if EJ Manuel is the starter from Day One.
The Bills are young, which is encouraging and sobering at the same time. You realize just how young when you're reminded that Stevie Johnson is one of only six remaining players from the 2008 team: Rian Lindell, Kyle Williams, Fred Jackson, Bryan Scott, Leodis McKelvin and Johnson.
Johnson is an elder statesman and presumed mentor for a receiving corps that's the youngest group on the team. The Bills are expecting big things from Robert Woods, the second-round pick; Marquise Goodwin, a third-rounder; and Da'Rick Rogers, an undrafted free agent with elite physical skills.
Rookie receivers tend to struggle with the adjustment to the NFL. Ask T.J. Graham, who suffered through a bumpy debut last season. It'll be even tougher if Manuel, a rookie quarterback, is making the throws. Talent-wise, the kids represent a promising upgrade. But it'll take time.
So the Bills are relying heavily on Johnson, both on and off the field. They need him to stay healthy, and they need him to produce as a No. 1 receiver while continuing to mature as a team leader. The idea of Johnson being a mentor for a stable of rookies is a tenuous one, to say the least.
Johnson is a good guy and an engaging presence in the locker room. Younger players gravitate toward him. But with that comes a responsibility to behave like a seasoned professional, to set a consistent and mature example for the impressionable younger players.
During his first three years as a starter, Stevie was unpredictable and often childish. At times last year, he seemed to be making a sincere attempt to grow up. He needs to do better. There are still times when he seems more interested in playing the clown and the entertainer.
If Johnson wants to play mentor to the young receivers, he can certainly tell them what not to do:
If you have to be on Twitter, don't complain to God for letting you drop a pass that would have won the game. Don't suggest that the North Koreans bomb Foxborough, Mass., because (ha ha) the Patriots play there. Be more like C.J. Spiller, who usually quotes Bible passages on his Twitter account.
Oh, and by all means, be careful about choreographing your touchdown dances. You might find yourself at your locker afterward, telling the media you cost your team a game. Avoid flashing messages on your undershirt after scoring TDs, too, because the coach might actually bench you.
Johnson could tell the rookies to avoid going on Jim Rome's national radio show and admitting they don't follow the Bills' offseason workout regimen. He later complained that his words were "blown out of proportion," and pointed out that he hasn't missed a game in three seasons.
I'm sorry, but laugh about your workout habits, no matter how reliable you are in the games, and people are going to ask questions. People are funny that way. They had to wonder, especially when Johnson suffered a lower back injury that kept him off the practice field for the first voluntary offseason workouts.
Sure, he hasn't missed a game in three years. But if I'm going to dog Mario Williams for injuries, it's only fair to point out that Johnson has suffered his share, too. He played through a bad groin in 2011, which lingered into the 2012 season. Stevie was hampered by thigh and hamstring issues late last season, when he scored just three TDs in the last 13 weeks.
Johnson deserves credit for playing hurt, but might it have been different if he worked harder in the offseason? On Rome's show, it was Stevie himself who said, "I've had three seasons with 1,000 yards, and that's without doing, like, real football work. So you know, who knows what happens if I really put in work?"
Were we supposed to laugh off those comments as Johnson having fun with the media, as "Stevie being Stevie?" He sounded serious to me. He also made it sound as if gaining 1,000 yards makes everything else OK.
That's the other thing that Johnson should tell the rookies in his new role as mentor. Don't talk about your statistics. People don't want to hear it. The only stat that matters is 16-32. That's the Bills' record in Johnson's time as a starter, the record that got Gailey fired and Fitz run out of town.
That's why everything is so new around here, and why so many rookies will be in vital positions next season. It's a new, exciting era. The Bills are young and people should be patient. The transition will be bumpy. People have a lot of growing up to do.
Management can only hope that, for the new guys, the process moves along a little faster than some.

quote: I like that big collapse thing. Once we stop expanding from the big bang there is no reason gravity won't start pulling us all back. It could be a big endless cycle.
quote: Disorder increases with time. So following each cycle, the universe must get more and more disordered. But if there has already been an infinite number of cycles, the universe we inhabit now should be in a state of maximum disorder. Such a universe would be uniformly lukewarm and featureless, and definitely lacking such complicated beings as stars, planets and physicists – nothing like the one we see around us. One way around that is to propose that the universe just gets bigger with every cycle. Then the amount of disorder per volume doesn't increase, so needn't reach the maximum. But Vilenkin found that this scenario falls prey to the same mathematical argument as eternal inflation: if your universe keeps getting bigger, it must have started somewhere.

Appearing before senators on Tuesday to testify about the marketing behind a dietary supplement known as green bean coffee extract, Dr. Oz became the target of some harsh words from Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, who accused the daytime host of giving viewers "false hope" in products.
"I don't get why you need to say this stuff when you know it's not true," McCaskill said. "When you have this amazing megaphone, why would you cheapen your show?"
Sen. McCaskill also called out Oz for endorsing FBCx, Forskolin, Garcinia cambogia and raspberry ketones as viable weight-loss supplements.
He countered by insisting that he is a "cheerleader" for the audience and his intent is to "engage viewers" with "flowery language."
"I was pleased that the hearing today dealt with some complicated issues and had all the players present whose cooperation will be necessary to move forward in protecting the consumer," Oz said in a statement following the hearing, expressing his concern about protecting his fans from weight-loss hoaxes.
"For years I felt that because I did not sell any products that I could be enthusiastic in my coverage and I believe the research surrounding the products I cover has value. I took part in today's hearing because I am accountable for my role in the proliferation of these scams and I recognize that my enthusiastic language has made the problem worse at times."
"To not have the conversation about supplements at all, however, would be a disservice to the viewer," he continued. "In addition to exercising an abundance of caution in discussing promising research and products in the future, I look forward to working with all those present today in finding a way to deal with the problems of weight-loss scams."
Here's a look at five of the weight-loss supplements under fire:
Green coffee bean extractWhat Dr. Oz says: Derived from coffee beans that have yet to be roasted, Oz says, "This little bean has scientists saying they've found the magic weight-loss cure for every body type."
What we know: While there has been a study suggesting the use of green coffee bean extract supports weight loss, only a small number of people were involved. Still "using the green coffee bean extract for weight loss in my practice has proven to be very effective," says New York-based holistic practitioner and nutritionist Dr. Steven Margolin. "But we're about educating people how to take better care of themselves. Supplements assist a diet. Never just take it and eat whatever you want."
FBCxWhat Dr. Oz says: He posted on his site, "This cutting-edge fiber could have a huge weight-loss impact."
What we know: "There are some studies that say it can potentially cause weight loss," says One Medical Group physician Natasha Withers. "But those studies are very weak."
ForskolinWhat Dr. Oz says: In 2012, Oz called this herbal compound "lightning in a bottle. It's a miracle flower to fight fats."
What we know: The foremost trial that supports the use of Forskolin in weight loss was sponsored by the Sabinsa Corporation – an herbal supplement manufacturer that boasts Forskolin as one of its products.
Garcinia cambogiaWhat Dr. Oz says: Also known as tamarind, "it may be the simple solution you've been looking for to bust your body fat for good," he said about the small pumpkin-shaped fruit.
What we know: There have been no large-scale trials suggesting it's an effective weight loss supplement. "Garcinia seems to be more effective when there's more concentrated exercise," says Dr. Margolin, adding, "exercise across the board is always going to help weight loss."
Raspberry ketonesWhat Dr. Oz says: He called this chemical found in red raspberries "the No. 1 miracle in a bottle to burn your fat."
What we know: Raspberry ketones have only been tested in animals; no study has officially been done on humans to support weight loss. Plus, "in terms of whether or not it's effective, the only study they've done is with raspberry ketone and vitamin C in combination, so they've never studied raspberry ketone by itself so there's no way to even say if taking it by itself is helpful," says Withers.

Hamburg police are hoping an autopsy and an examination of the victim's sport utility vehicle may shed some light on why a motorist veered into oncoming traffic on Route 20 on Thursday, causing a three-car accident.
Laurence Karmel, 62, of Orchard Park, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which occurred at about 4:45 p.m. on Route 20/Southwestern Boulevard at Pleasant Avenue. An autopsy will be performed by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office.
Police said Karmel was eastbound when his SUV crossed the double-yellow lines and collided head-on with a westbound dump truck. An eastbound pickup truck hit Karmel's from behind afterward.
The names of the drivers of the dump truck and the pickup truck weren't released by police, who said alcohol wasn't a factor for either. Injuries to the others involved weren't serious, police added.
No traffic tickets were issued.

Editor's note: This column previously was published June 23, 2012.
I haven't written a column since Pentecost, when I was in North Carolina visiting my mother for Memorial Day weekend. I did not come home right after that weekend because my mother's health failed rapidly, and on May 29, she inherited eternal life. When I went down for that weekend, I had no idea that a week later I would be celebrating her life with my family, extended family and dear friends, some of whom came down from West Virginia. Many of you have sent me cards and thoughts and prayers, and I want to thank you and let you know how supported and loved I have felt.
As I thought about writing this column, I turned to memories of my mother and things about faith that she taught me. I might warn you that as I work through my grief this summer, there might be several articles where my mother's wisdom and faith show up. For today, I want to share with you my mother's deep trust in God and her deep appreciation for the gifts that God gave her, especially the gift of sight.
When I was very young, my mother developed cataracts on both eyes. These days cataracts are commonplace and the procedure for removing them also is common. However, in the 1960s, surgery for removing cataracts was quite complicated. The recovery period was long, and it began with holding the head completely still for several days. My mother was quite young to have developed cataracts - somewhere around age 40 - and the cataracts had to "develop" before they could be removed. Since my parents were older when they married and began their family, my brothers and I were 10, 8 and 5 years of age when my mother reached the point to have surgery.
Up until the time of her surgery, I really don't remember my mother seeing well. She took care of the home and all of us, but going out in public was difficult for her. I remember once when we went shopping my mom went up to a manikin in a store to ask for help. How embarrassing that was for her to discover. When my brothers and I would go out to play and didn't want to come in when she came to call us, we would stand as still as we could and she would think that we were trees. Only on Sundays did she really venture out, because she felt comfortable in church. The people there understood that she couldn't see well and didn't make her feel odd.
The time came when she was ready for surgery. She was 43 years old. She was not worried about the surgery itself, but later she told us how apprehensive she was about the recovery period. She wasn't certain that she would be able to hold her head still for so long, but she knew that she had to try. If her head was not completely still during the first few days after surgery, she would lose her sight completely.
She had two separate surgeries, so during the year I was 5 my mother was having surgery and recovering for months at a time.
As we were planning her funeral, my brothers and I were sharing what we remembered about that time when she had the surgeries. My brother Bill told us that later, Mom said she slept little and prayed a lot. Her constant prayer was for God to keep her head still. In the deep darkness of those first nights, Mom said she began that prayer in fear, and the more she prayed, the more she felt strong hands holding her head still. Toward morning, she would feel safe enough to drift off to sleep for a little while. After the second surgery, she was not nearly so afraid because she trusted that the hands of God that held her head after the first surgery would hold her head after the second surgery.
One summer afternoon after my mother had recovered from those surgeries, she we would have a celebration that evening for supper. We would have a cookout! I do not remember ever having a cookout before. Not being able to see, my mom was not comfortable preparing meals anywhere but in her kitchen. That afternoon, my mom was excited and I knew that something was different for her.
My mom and my dad went away that afternoon for what I thought was another appointment with her eye doctor. Those appointments had been so numerous that I didn't think anything about it that afternoon. When they returned, my mom had on new glasses. She hugged me over and over again, exclaiming "I can see you! I can see you!"
Her glasses were huge and really ugly, I thought, but I realized that what her glasses looked like didn't really matter to her. What I didn't really understand was that my mom had never really seen me clearly before, but as I have thought about that moment over the years, I realize that for five years, my mom had not really seen me, just my outline. She had not really seen my blue eyes or my dark curls. It was a true moment of celebration for her.
After that time of surgery and recovery and then being able to see, my mom spoke quite a bit about understanding the miracles of God. Particularly, my mom loved the story of Bartimaeus, the man blind from birth whose sight Jesus restored. My mom understood that story so well and knew so well the healing power of Christ.
While my mom regained her sight after those surgeries, she still had trouble with her eyes. About a decade after the surgeries, my mom was able to get contact lenses, which helped her feel more normal since she did not have to wear those cataract glasses. But during those years my mom had a series of detached retinas and she required repeated surgeries again. Still, she never lost her trust in God's healing. Even when the contacts that she wore were no longer made and she could not find anything else that would work, she still felt that her sight was a miracle as she adjusted again to those awful glasses that made her eyes appear as bug eyes.
In the last five or six years, my mom no longer wore glasses at all on a regular basis. Occasionally, when the nursing staff remembered to put them on, she would wear them, but in the last year or so I think that she recognized me only by my voice.
The night before she died, I was sitting by her bed. I touched her face and held her hand and gave her water when she asked for it. I knew that those were sacred moments for me and my mother, and I knew that those moments might be the last ones. I told her over and over that I loved her, and each time she would look at me for so long and then would say: "That's you, Alicia. I see you. I love you."
It is said that sometimes, at the end of life, senses become stronger. I believe that God gave my mom and me another miracle at the end. She was able to see my face one last time and I was able to know how important that was for her.
God gives us miracles every day. Maybe these miracles are big deals, miraculous healing or other events that are dramatic. And maybe, just maybe, the miracles that God gives us are nothing that would mean anything to anyone else. Maybe it is a gentle smile when we are feeling sad or a friend who shares a meal with us. Maybe it is finding our keys when we lose them. Or maybe it is a sacred moment between mother and daughter at the end of the mother's life.
God is involved in our lives moment by moment, but we forget that so often. May we slow down and remember that God is with us, always, to the ends of the earth.
To God be the Glory!

Long-term Dialysis in Multiple Myeloma During a 12-year period, 30 patients with MM required hemodialysis (HD) at our institution. The results observed in 20 patients who survived more than 2 months on HD are summarized. 85% of the patients were in stage III. Renal biopsy was consistent with myeloma kidney in all 10 patients in whom a biopsy was carried out. The response rate to chemotherapy was 40%. HD was discontinued in only 2 patients (one received a kidney graft and one had a late partial recovery). The median survival was 20 months and six patients survived for more than 3 years. There were a total of 42 hospital admissions. The mean hospitalization was 19 days per year. However, the subgroup of patients who survived less than 1 year spent 38 days in the hospital whereas the mean hospitalization days for those who survived more than 1 year was only 9 days. This was the same as for patients on HD program because of diabetic nephropathy. Role of Plasma Exchange It has been suggested that a rapid removal of light chains with chemotherapy and plasma-exchange could prevent or improve renal failure. However, at the Mayo Clinic, a trial comparing forced diuresis and chemotherapy vs. forced diuresis, chemotherapy and plasma-exchange was carried out. There was a trend in favor of plasma-exchange, but the difference was not statistically significant. In our experience, patients with renal failure severe enough to require dialysis are very unlikely to respond to plasma exchange. In contrast, patients with severe, non-oliguric, renal failure are more likely to benefit from this procedure. High-dose Therapy/Autotransplantation in Patients with MM and Renal Failure
The experience of the Spanish Registry for Transplant in MM was analyzed. A total of 566 evaluable patients were included and analyzed in the three following groups:
The transplant related mortality (TRM) was significantly higher in the group with renal failure at transplantation (29% vs. 3.3% and 4.2%). However, in evaluable patients the response rate after transplant was similar in the three groups (90% vs. 91% vs. 92%). In addition, the 3-year survival from transplant was similar in the three groups. Using multivariate analysis on TRM, three variables showed independent influence: performance status 3 or 4, hemaglobin level <9g/dL and serum creatinine higher than 5mg/dL. According to these results, patients with poor performance status and a serum creatinine higher than 5mg/dL should be excluded from transplant programs.
Treatment proposal for Patients with Severe Non-oliguric Renal Failure Considering the crucial importance of the serum creatinine level in the reversibility of renal failure, our proposal for patients with a serum creatinine higher than 4mg/dL and still with no need for dialysis is chemotherapy with VAD or cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone (in those with cardiac disorders) along with early plasma-exchange with serial measurements of light chains in serum and urine before and after each plasma exchange in order to investigate the efficacy and optimal timing of this procedure.

Residents of Buffalo's Elmwood Village worked for years to get a set of rules to protect the look of the neighborhood as new buildings are constructed or old ones are updated.
A proposed citywide development code would rewrite those special rules for Elmwood, updating standards for how buildings should be designed and spreading those rules to other city neighborhoods, including Grant Street and Jefferson Avenue.
"We want to take everything that's worked so well on Elmwood Avenue and take that both to the next level on Elmwood Avenue and export those standards to other places in the city," said Chris Hawley, an urban planner for the city.
But some residents in the neighborhood are concerned the new rules would water down the building design standards already in place in the Elmwood Village.
"We want to keep the scale and the character of our neighborhood, and what you're proposing doesn't always do that," Susan M. Davis told city planners Saturday.
Davis was one of about 100 people who attended a meeting in Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church organized by the Elmwood Village Association and the city's Office of Strategic Planning to explain how the city's proposed new zoning codes – known as "Buffalo Green Code" – would affect the neighborhood.
The proposed rules would impact what can be built throughout Buffalo – from whether a corner store could open up to what kind of sign could be placed on the sidewalk outside a business. The meeting Saturday was one of dozens the city has held in an effort to address concerns before the new code is rolled out in the coming months for full public view.
Hawley told residents that planners wrote the new development standards to reflect neighborhoods as they already exist. In the Elmwood Village, he said, the goal was to incorporate the neighborhood's existing design standards, but update those that haven't worked.
"What we discovered through the Green Code process was there were a lot of loopholes in the Elmwood Village design standards that we can close and a lot of things that we can improve," Hawley said.
Among the proposals aired Saturday was a plan to eliminate rules that require buildings throughout the city to have a minimum number of parking spaces. Instead, developers would decide how many spaces they need, but would have to adhere to design guidelines for where those parking spaces could be located.
"Preservationists have told us that this mandatory off-street parking requirement is an incentive to demolish buildings for parking," Hawley said.
Residents also expressed concern about a proposal to eliminate a requirement that limits the size of the first floor of a retail business in the Elmwood Village to less than 2,500 square feet without special permission. Hawley said the city is working to determine what the maximum size should be.
Amber Small urged the city to look at other ways – such as adding municipal lots – to alleviate limited parking in commercial areas that spills onto residential streets.
"I think that a business should have the right to determine how many spaces it needs for its customers," Small said. "But I live down the street on Lafayette Avenue, and I'm sure that all my neighbors can attest that in the summer months, finding parking near my house is almost impossible."
Brendan R. Mehaffy, executive director of the city's Office of Strategic Planning, said planners working on the Green Code would seek to incorporate concerns raised by residents as they move forward.
"We've got a lot of good information from people that I think will lead to changes before the public draft comes out," Mehaffy said.

May 23, 1939 – March 11, 2013
Paul F. Witkowski, who owned the Hobnail Restaurant in West Seneca, died Monday in Erie County Medical Center after a long illness. He was 73.
Born in Buffalo, he lived most his life in West Seneca and Elma. He was a 1956 graduate of West Seneca West High School. He went on to work for S.M. Flickinger Co. in various capacities before opening his own restaurant in 1961. At 22 years old, Mr. Witkowski was, according to his family, the youngest person in Erie County to have obtained a state liquor license at that time.
In 1965, he married Jean Resavage, with whom he operated the Hobnail Restaurant until his retirement in 1989 at age 50. During his retirement, Mr. Witkowski pursued his interests in boating, photography, and golfing at Gowanda Country Club. He used his talents in woodworking and construction to build his own home in 1983.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Paul E., and a brother, Francis.
