One person has died following an early morning apartment fire in Baldwinsvile. The fire started around 2 a.m. in the Conifer Apartments on Conifer Drive. YNN's Brad Vivacqua has the latest information.
BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. -- One person has died following an apartment fire in the village of Baldwinsville.
Onondaga County 911 received two calls around 2 a.m. from the Conifer Village Apartments. The first was for a person having trouble breathing, and then the second was for the fire. When crews arrived, they found an upstairs apartment on fire with one man inside. Larry Gillette, 54, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Several residents in other apartments were forced to evacuate. Officials say there was heavy damage to the structure of the building
"We're real fortunate in the northern section of Onondaga County with manpower, we had a full compliment and we have a mutual aid response plan that's in place that we work with emergency management and with that being said that's why the building is standing. It's a garden apartment style building, the fire walls did its job," said Deputy Chief Tony McIntyre, Baldwinsville Fire Department.
The Red Cross is assisting the residents who had to evacuate.
Investigators say the fire started from oil rags in a closet that were not thrown out properly.

Washington's health secretary says "Contagion" movie is very realon September 12, 2011 @ 9:44 am (Updated: 11:04 am - 9/12/11 )
"What was rolling around in my mind was when SARS happened," Washington Secretary of Health Mary Selecky told Seattle's Morning News on 97.3 KIRO FM. "And then of course, there was H1N1 (commonly known as Swine Flu,) it was an unknown novel virus just like in the movie."
She said just like in the movie, we didn't know what it was or how to treat it, and we didn't have a vaccine. Of course, the big difference is 14 million die in the film (including superstars Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet.)
Selecky said "Contagion" does a good job of showing what public health experts do to try and identify and stop the spread of infectious diseases.
But she says the biggest outbreak we should worry about is what she calls an "epidemic of fear" that could cause rioting, looting, or other break downs in society. She said it was most recently on display amidst the worries of radiation spread after the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami that destroyed the Fukishima nuclear power plant. "That epidemic of fear sent people to grocery stores to empty shelves and things like that," she said.
Selecky said she can only take real issue with one part of the movie: a lone state health official, much like her, worries about who's budget would pay to set up an emergency medical facility.
"That's when my eyes rolled. That's when I literally and verbally groaned in the movie," she said.

CORNING, N.Y. — David Whitehouse, former executive director of the Corning Museum of Glass, died February 17, following a brief battle with cancer. He was 71.
Whitehouse joined the museum in 1984 as chief curator. He became director in 1992, then executive director and curator of ancient and Islamic glass in 1999. He remained in that role until 2011. Whitehouse had a profound impact on the museum and on the advancement of the scholarship and understanding of glass.
"David was a dedicated leader and a passionate scholar, and he will be sorely missed by his colleagues in Corning and around the world," said Marie McKee, museum president. "David embodied the museum's mission to tell the world about glass. That mission drove everything that he did, from the founding of the museum's glassmaking school to the numerous publications, educational programs and exhibitions that he oversaw. We are very grateful to David for making the Corning Museum of Glass the world-class institution it is today."
Whitehouse oversaw the growth of the Corning Museum of Glass during a critical period in the museum's history, while continuing to position the institution as a global leader in its field. During his tenure as executive director, the museum campus underwent a major renovation and expansion, adding 218,000 square feet of public space and spacious new quarters for the Rakow Research Library, the world's foremost library of glass-related materials. Under Whitehouse's direction, nearly 20,000 acquisitions were added to the museum's glass collection, nearly doubling its holdings.
As a scholar, Whitehouse understood the importance of having the world's best research library on glass and led the Rakow Library's growth and expansion. Additions to the library under his leadership included not only books, but also rare manuscripts and archives from artists and glass companies from around the world.
Whitehouse also conceived of and established The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass in 1996. His vision was to provide a state-of-the-art glassmaking school that would train future generations of artists working in glass and provide a creative resource for the region. Each year, thousands of students take classes at The Studio, and tens of thousands of museum visitors make their own glass.
"David's vision was to create a glass studio that was as world-class as the museum. He exemplified excellence and civility, and we carried out his vision with these qualities," said Amy Schwartz, director of education and The Studio. "Everyone, from established artist to young visitor, is treated with respect and importance. As he did with all his staff, David empowered us to achieve excellence in our work of creating and programming The Studio. We were overwhelmed with his unflagging support. He had a brilliant vision and gave us everything we needed to make it a reality. Nearly 20 years later, The Studio is a major force in glass education, worldwide."
One of the world's foremost scholars of ancient and Islamic glass, Whitehouse published more than 500 scholarly papers, reviews, monographs and books — including three volumes of Roman Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass — in addition to serving as an advisor to various academic journals. He was editor of the Corning Museum's annual Journal of Glass Studies from 1988 to 2011. In 1990, he co-authored with artist and scholar William Gudenrath several groundbreaking articles on the manufacture and ancient repair of the Portland Vase.
Whitehouse curated numerous exhibitions at the museum, including "Reflecting Antiquity: Modern Glass Inspired by Ancient Rome," 2008, "Botanical Wonders: The Story of the Harvard Glass Flowers," 2007, and "Glass of the Sultans," 2001.
"I first met David when I was a graduate intern at the Getty Museum and, through that meeting, became inspired to study ancient glass myself. He served as the co-chair of my dissertation committee at UCLA, and we continued to collaborate throughout my career," said Karol Wight, who succeeded Whitehouse as executive director in 2011. "David's scholarly interests went far beyond antiquity. He studied not only ancient Roman and Islamic glass, but also worked on medieval and later material."
In his time at the museum, Whitehouse cataloged nearly the entire ancient collection of glass. In 2011, he left his position as executive director and became the museum's senior scholar, focusing on writing and publishing additional volumes on Islamic glass, as well as a book on Roman cage cups. "It is vital that we complete Whitehouse's work in these important areas. We are planning to see these projects through to fruition," said Wight.
Whitehouse is survived by his wife and children. A community gathering to remember David Whitehouse will be held in The Corning Museum of Glass Auditorium on Friday, February 22, at 5:15 pm. All are welcome.

|Part of Acura's shift upmarket, the 2014 RLX
Honda's Acura brand is attempting to take place among some of the industry's most luxurious and best brands with new productions and ambitious sales goals, according to John Mendel, executive vice president with American Honda.
He said that Acura will have a bigger push in the US going forward as the company expects to use a pull strategy to see Acuras exported to markets that want to see these vehicles such as China, Russia and the Middle East. Mendel believes that it has taken the focus of the last several years for Honda to truly define what Acura means and to position it for success as a luxury brand. A senior exec always described Acura as orbiting Honda and Mendel says that "now it is time to send Acura into its own orbit".
Honda has ambitious global goals of 6 million in sales by March 31, 2017 with Acura making up a small chunk of that goal. By the end of March 31, 2013, global sales are expected to be around 4 million.

Dedicated wheeled sports area similar to The Factory.I feel if it was run like the one in Dundee it would also pay for itself very quickly..
Do you think the centre should contain a small cinema?
What about a climbing wall (could be replaced in evening by cinema screen)?
How about a hard standing area which would serve multi purposes - farmers market, Christmas lights switch on, car boot sales.
Do you think that the new Community Centre should have a Recording Studio?
Open WIFI to allow people to access the internet on laptops or smart phones. Possible linked to Coffee shop?
Perhaps available in the evenings a few nights a week - 7pm-11pm - pool table, TV and WIFI access.

It would be nice in the darker nights to see the walk that goes from Westhaven to the far end of the Black slab along the best sea front in Scotland. Tried to put into all ideas but it kept coming up Centre project
Does the Centre need an area for local history in order to attract some tourists?
A new school would be acceptable as the present ones are to small already
Do you think there should be meeting rooms?
Would require suitable flooring (sprung wooden)

Eating healthfully and following a meal plan are key components of good diabetes care whether you use oral medicines, insulin, or diet and exercise to manage your diabetes. Knowing how to read a food label can help you choose healthful foods, figure out portion sizes, count carbohydrates, limit sodium or fat, and keep track of calories. Understanding how to use the information found on food labels can also help you to choose foods that meet your vitamin and mineral requirements. In short, being "label-able" can take the guesswork out of healthful eating.
Label legalities
A majority of the prepared foods you find in your local grocery store are required to have a nutrition label. Nutrition labeling of most foods is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, which identifies the nutrients that must be listed on food labels, other nutrients that may be listed, allowed health claims, and standard portion sizes. The Act also defines terminology commonly used on labels such as "light," "low-fat," and "sodium free."
Raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry are not required to have nutrition labels, though voluntary labeling is strongly encouraged, and 70% of U.S. food stores provide this information, either by posting it near fresh food displays or by labeling foods such as meats that are packaged in the store. Other foods that are not required to bear nutrition labels include food prepared for immediate consumption such as restaurant, cafeteria, and airplane food; ready-to-eat food prepared primarily on-site, such as bakery store items; foods prepared by some small businesses; and medical foods (special foods prescribed by a physician to manage a disease or health condition). Restaurants that make health claims for certain foods on their menus or in advertising are required to provide nutrition information for those foods.
Nutritional and herbal supplements have Nutrition Facts labels similar to those on packaged foods, but they are regulated by the FDA under a different set of guidelines, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. Under this act, supplement manufacturers are responsible for making sure dietary supplements are safe before they are marketed and that label information is truthful and not misleading. The FDA has strict guidelines that regulate the types of information and health or nutrition claims allowed on supplement labels.
Nutrition information on food labels can be found in several locations. These include the Nutrition Facts panel, the ingredients list, and other areas of the label where health claims may be displayed.
The Nutrition Facts panel
Your best source of nutrition information is the Nutrition Facts panel, where manufacturers provide serving size information, quantities of specific nutrients, and percent Daily Values (%DV). Nutrient information required on all food labels includes total calories, calories from fat, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, sugars, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Starting in 2006, disclosure of trans fatty acid (a type of fat) content is required on food labels, though it may not show up on all food products right away.
Nutrient information allowed but not required on nutrition labels includes calories from saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, potassium, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, sugar alcohols and other carbohydrates, percent of vitamin A present as beta-carotene (a nutrient found in plant foods that is converted to vitamin A in the body), and other essential vitamins and minerals (those the body cannot make at all or in sufficient quantities to meet its daily needs). If a health claim is made anywhere on the food package about a nutrient that is allowed but not required, that nutrient must be included in the Nutrition Facts panel. No nutrients other than those specifically required or allowed are permitted on the Nutrition Facts panel.

Press: Tunes News (Album Review)
By John Frazzetta of WMG (Wasabi Media Group), here's a review of the Shalini EP for Tunes News. John gives the Shalini EP 3/3 music notes, "Own It - you should pick one up"
So...what are you waiting for? PICK ONE UP!
When it comes to writing about pop music, sometimes the easiest way to describe something is to relate it to something else that is popular. Easy enough, right? Well, yes, it is easy enough, but now I have pigeon-holed an artist to sound similar to a more popular artist in order to entice you to check out some new tunes. That doesn't strike me as fair at all, but it is the easiest way out of a conversation. For this particular EP I'm going to ask you to keep Sara Bareilles and Zooey Deschanel in mind and not go much further than that.
This set of tunes comes from Vancouver, British Columbia instead of someplace in New Zealand. We should be happy that Shalini Kumar is pursuing her dream of recording music rather than becoming a successful accountant living on a farm on the opposite side of the world. I'll never know how her number crunching skills are, so I'll just have to tell you that she can sing very well.
I've stated before that I'm a sucker for well crafted pop songs, and this EP has five great examples. When a sad subject can make you tap your feet and bounce, you know someone is doing their job; which is why I like "Feeling Lonely". Another interesting piece is how she incorporates other instrumentation into her music that reaches further than guitars and drums. Piano and string arrangements intertwine to help create a soothing backdrop, and you can hear the complexity grooving underneath the sweet vocals that want to whisk you someplace far away or take you somewhere dark and personal.
There are not a lot of songs on this EP, and my favorites are "Feeling Lonely", "Freeze Up" and her best track, "Book of Dreams". She has lofty ambitions to make it into the world of music, and you can't help but cheer her on as she races toward her goal. It is refreshing to hear and see artists that don't rely on costume changes, skimpy clothing and bad reputations in a tabloid to bolster their careers. For more information on Shalini check her website. Anyone that likes pomegranates, Mozart and violent video games can't be all bad.

Secret Of The Perfect Squat – Widen Your Stance
Squats are a staple of any sound weightlifting program. Whether goblet, front, or back squats, the value of this classic exercise is undoubted, not only in terms of quadriceps growth but also functional capacity in life. That's why what I'm about to say might sound like blasphemy: It's time to rethink the way we squat.
Most squats you see in gyms today are performed with the feet planted at shoulder-width or narrower. These types of squats give a good burn to the quadriceps, and some people use varying narrow stances to target specific areas on the quads. But squats are a movement, not a specific muscle developer. The entire body should be activated in the lift, and especially the posterior chain and core.
Taking a wider stance than shoulder-width has been shown to provide the same level of quad activation as a traditional "narrow" stance, but squatting wide also provides distinct advantages.
A wide stance works a greater number of muscles. Go wide, and you'll feel it in your glutes, your overall strength, and maybe in the back and knee pain you don't feel.
Go Wide, Young Man
Perhaps a better question to ask is "Why go narrow?" It could be argued that the narrow squat better mimics life applications, but the goal with a wide stance is muscular development and strength. There's always room in life for more strength.
If you decide to step out, you will notice the benefits:
If you want to think of squats as "developing" a certain muscle, it's better to think of the glutes than the quads.
The glutes are a tremendous source of power and strength, and if you can use their strength in a movement, you almost always should.
Take a wider stance when squatting, such as 140-150 percent of shoulder width. This allows for greater posterior displacement of the hips.
This displacement activates the glutes to a greater degree than narrow squats when depth is reached, according to research from the University of Abertay, in Dundee, Scotland.
A study at the University of Padova in Italy took the conclusion a step further, suggesting that "a large width is necessary for a greater activation of the gluteus maximus during back squats."
Much of the popularity for narrow-stance squats is based on personal opinion and "feel." This is understandable. We train because we enjoy the challenge and the burn. We're taught that pain leads to success. A wider stance might not stimulate the same feeling on your quadriceps, but the activity is there.
The University of Padova study concluded that a wide stance produces the same muscular activation as a narrow stance in the quads, adductor major, vastus medialis and lateralis-everywhere but the glutes.
Make no mistake: Changing the stance changes the movement. Narrow stances require an anterior tracking of the knee, and while this is not inherently a bad movement, it does place a greater stress on the knee. Over time, the recessive forces exerted on the knee could lead to patellar tendon strains or tendonitis.
By comparison, reaching squat depth with a wide stance requires a lifter to maintain a more vertical shin position than a narrow stance. This stance places far less stress on the knee.
The narrow range of motion of the human ankle can be a limiting factor when performing a narrow-stance squat. A wider stance alleviates this issue by maintaining a more vertical shin position, providing an easier trip to reach depth.
Of course you could and should address your tight calves and lower legs with mobility drills and foam rolling, but there's no reason you should limit your squatting pattern just because you can't reach depth in a narrow stance. Bump those feet out!
Power is what we're after, right? It is the heart of athletics, and no matter the activity, powerful players perform well. By activating more muscle fiber, and different muscle groups, wide squats provide a clear advantage for hypertrophic gains which can transfer to competitive athletics.
Wide squats are also more powerful, period. A recent study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning found that the squat power produced at 150 percent of shoulder-width was "significantly higher" than at 50 percent width, 100 percent, or at 200 percent.
This raises an important point: Some argue that ultra-wide stances such as 200 percent have value in geared lifting, but they are not generally thought to be best for power development.
It's All in the Hips
Hip strength and function have recently been getting much-needed attention in strength and conditioning programs. More trainers are emphasizing movements rather than muscles in an all-encompassing approach to training.
This is a fantastic way to combat the quad dominance and glute weakness that plague sedentary populations. Wide squats allow for more comprehensive movement that better works the hips than traditional squats.
The hips are multidirectional joints, producing force in three planes of motion. The wide-stance squat provides the best option to train the hips in all three planes. The wide movement exhibits greater hip flexion and smaller plantarflexion angles than narrow-stance squats. It also produces significantly larger hip extension movements.
Wide-stance squats are achieved with a posterior tracking of the hips, which leads to greater hip extension to return the bar to the original position. Wide squats have been shown to produce greater abduction and adduction, with greater internal and external rotation of the femur during the lift than narrow squats.
Spreading movement across all three planes of motion helps to create a stable hip joint that can handle a tremendous amount of stress, not only in the gym but also in life.
Save Your Spine
Some argue that the horizontal positioning of the torso during a wide stance squat creates larger loads on the lumbar, as compared to a narrow stance. This is believed to increase the risk for low-back injuries. Recent studies do not support this conclusion.
When performing a narrow squat, the distance to parallel is greater than in a wide squat. Reaching depth in a narrow squat requires tucking the lumbar under the torso to facilitate hip flexion. The resulting flexion of the spine under a load puts pressure on the L5/S1 area, which could be linked to bulging discs and other spinal complications.
This is not to say that a traditional squat will cause low-back injury, but without consistent development in this squatting pattern, the greater force placed on the spine can take a toll over time. The posterior movement of the hips in a wide stance can contribute to a more neutral back positioning without tucking your lumbar.
A wider stance also recruits more muscles to perform the task, and is a more encompassing movement compared to a narrow stance. The goal of any compound lift should be engaging as many muscles as possible, and it is clear that a wider stance better accomplishes this task.

exactly.. everybody always criticizes me for keeping my feet wide on squats and didn't believe me that they were easier to go parallel.
I've had a buldging L5/S1 disc before I started working out. I'll make sure I never do narrow stance squats now for sure.
I was taught to do squats this way being that i'm so tall. It feels so much more natural for me...especially for my knees!
i use to hate squats, now is my second favorite exercise, am gonna try this wide stance to see if its better .
I feel like I have more power an more ROM when my feet are like 1-2" wider than my shoulders. But that's the good part about bodybuilding is that everyone figures out what works best for them. Still useful information.
i'll give it a try and see if it works. I am used to the shoulder width stance and it is hard on my lower back! having a long fractured left ankle which severely limits my ROM and I have to use weights on under my heels!
I have always been able to squat a lot more weight with a wide stance
Martial Artists have known for millenia that a wide stance promotes better ROM, posture, and weight bearing loads. As a martial artist I agree with that and disagree with the theory that a narrow stance produces a more tucked hip. if you look at any competant martial artist we tuck our hips foward to align the spine for optimal weight bearing and energy transfer (internal and external) as possible. a tucked hip strengthens the all the abs and obligues as well. if you doubt what I say chech out Ba Gua Zhang masters. The art centers around tucked hips, rounded yet aligned backs and is also know in sub sets as Tai Chi Chuang, Iron Shirt Kung Fu, among others. a tucked hip is essential for proper alignment of hips and spine and support of everyday and heavy weights.
I feel you misunderstand the article about the tucked hips. What you are describing is proper, rotating the hips forward to stick the butt out is good. The article describes the problem at the bottom of a narrow squat, the hips will rotate backwards and tuck your butt under you. This rounds the lower back creating extra stress that isn't needed. The cause is tight hamstrings and a wider stance can help improve this problem.
@mrnowski that isn't usually the case. Study the anatomy of the posterior chain including the quads and youll see why, it usually has to do with how your femur sits in the acetabulum. When you reach that depth before you wink, the structure of what I previously mentioned is maxed out meaning the femur is maximally raised, in order to squat deeper posterior pelvic tilt occurs.
great article legs tomorrow looks like i will be trying this makes sense in every way
Tried wide squats for leg workout this morning.
Much less stress on my lower back and knees. I will be sticking with this way of doing squats. I got a much deeper squat and was able to go heavier.
Being 6'3" and having proportianally long legs, wider squats are definately more difficult but for sure will show more improvement.
i have very big and powerfull legs and I never did wide squats. I'll try this in my high rep phase.
Great article! I stick to wider stance and shoot for ATG over narrow and shallow. I squatted shallower and narrower in my youth because I was under educated. I feel much stronger and safer with my long femurs with my glutes sharing the load, and better knee position.
I've actually started squatting wider as of late. I used to squat at about shoulder width, feet forward to hit my vastus lateralis which WAS a lagging area(no more). I felt alot of tightness in my ITB and hips, and my knees did get some wear.
I don't go as wide as the cage now, but I do step a couple inches outside of shoulder width and it has made a big difference in alleviating pain in those areas. Flat shoes or bare feet is a must on squats as well.
i do wide stance squats and i felt i was not hitting my quads. i am glad i came across this article. if i do raised heel squats will that isolate my quads more versus flat heels?
I recommend front squats to isolate your quads more. Anytime you raise your heels it puts your pressure forward onto your knees... imo.
knees out. KNEES OUT ! :)
Great article. I only have one thing to point out. Never being an expert, and always willing to hear the counter to this, I don't think the toes should point outward, in that, the position becomes too difficult to keep the strain from the medial aspect of the knee joint. The initial movement of the squat is to drive the heels into the floor, and unless they are pointed straight forward, the drive force is placed on the edges of the foot, whether that be medial or lateral... Hey, just something to think about, especially if you are pushing a heavy load... thanks again for a great article.
I see your point. I think there should be some external rotation of your feet as it does help with your knees tracking properly, especially with heavy weight. As far as how much external rotation, I think it's up to the athlete and what feels comfortable. Good article!
I found this to be the case by my own accord when i was experimenting with the variations of squats. The section about it feeling like a more powerful squat is sooo TRUE!
Phenomenal Article. Many Many Thanks for the researched information. Very handy and interesting to know. cheers

Department of Biostatistics
Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis (M.S.)
We are now accepting applications for the cohort starting in October 2015
Year Started: 1985
The On Job/On Campus Master's in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis Program was developed to provide a means for physicians, dentists, pharmacists, pharmacologists and others who are involved in clinical research to develop expertise in research design and statistical analysis appropriate to such research while remaining in their existing employment. Providing this educational program for clinical researchers addresses two problems:
These problems reflect the increasing complexity of research, the pressure on faculty to do research and the limited education at most medical, dental and pharmacy schools about research design and statistical analysis. Since schools educating clinicians cannot be expected to include research design and statistics in the curriculum when only a small number of their students will become faculty and researchers, education designed specifically for clinical researchers is needed.
Approximate Tuition per Year (2013-2015):
How Students are Financed: Employer and self-financed
Credit Hours: 37
Length of Program: 19 months
Tracked with Other Programs: No

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you know Buffy would be getting pregnant?
ANDREW CHAMBLISS: That was something that Joss had always kind of set out from the beginning of conceiving season 9. It was definitely something we were building towards from day one, the first issue of the season where she's got the crazy party and blacks out at it. It was always something Joss wanted to do. In the season, where we're really trying to push Buffy back to dealing with real world issues that are getting in the way of her slaying, and also where she is in her life, it seems like this is what we should make the core of the jumping off point for the season.
How did you come to that decision? The seasons have generally been marking posts for Buffy's development in her life. Was it a big life moment Buffy was going to have to tackle?
Yeah, that was kind of the idea. Just looking at the intention of the season where magic has disappeared, and it's kind of Buffy asking herself, "Do I have a life after slaying? I spend so much time saving the world and dealing with these huge supernatural things, what's my life like if I have to deal with these real things?" Getting pregnant seems like one of the things Buffy can't run away from, as easily as she can run away from a relationship or something like that.
What's it like to have Joss hand you the reins while he goes off to make big blockbuster movies?
It's been an incredibly gratifying experience. I love Buffy. It's part of the reason that I became interested in writing. It's a lot of fun. I'd worked with Joss on Dollhouse, and there were Buffy alum [writing and working] on Dollhouse. Just to hear them talk about that world, part of me was always like, "I wish I could have been a part of that." So getting that opportunity now is a dream come true.
What's working relationship with Joss?
Before we started working on the season, Joss' house had a big Buffy writers summit. A bunch of Buffy writers came – [comic editor] Scott Allie and the Dark Horse team came down, Cristos Gage who's writing on [spin-off comic] Angel and Faith came as well, and we just had a great brainstorming session, talking about all of the different things it would be cool to do in the season. Taking all of those ideas, Joss and I have had many email exchanges back and forth, and of course phone calls. He's really involved in laying out the map of the season, and we're going to take everything and then from there I just go in and do the more detailed work. Generally, it's been sending him drafts over email, and he'll weigh in along with Dark Horse.
Does he tweak any dialogue? "Xander would say it more this way?"
Generally he's been focused more on the story issues. When I'm writing, I'm having episodes of Buffy on in the background to get the voices of the characters down. Joss's input is more [on] the story side, making sure the arcs are on track. But yeah, he will throw out a line, because I've come to realize, Buffy, more than anything else Joss does, is so much Joss. He can nail that voice better than anyone else can.
At the writers summit, did abortion topic come up?
I don't think we spoke too much about it there, but as we were getting issues in and approaching the pregnancy reveal, that's when we started talking about what Buffy would do with that. Joss basically wanted to face it head on, and not shy away from it in any way. I think at the summit we might have come up with doing the Nikki Wood flashbacks to try to serve as a counterpoint to where Buffy is, because Nikki's the only other slayer who has ever faced this issue.
I asked this of Joss too: You couldn't have known that Planned Parenthood would be so in the news when this issue of the comic was in the works, but I imagine you must have known this development would spark some strong debate?
Yes, for sure. It's not a topic that anyone takes lightly. There are such a wide spectrum of opinions, and we knew that there would be debate around it. I think the thing, when we were making the story, was to make sure we weren't doing a story just for the sake of being controversial, or trying to get attention. It really is trying to go someplace that a girl in Buffy's position would go, and the questions she'd have to ask herself.
So to borrow a line from the show, "Where do we go from here?" How far reaching will the ramifications be?
We're not talking about it on a super-specific level just because I don't want to spoil too much of the next couple of issues, but there's definitely a huge anchor point for Buffy mentally going through the rest of the season. You think, what are the things in her life that are possible, and what are the things in her life that are difficult, both being the Slayer, but also being a twentysomething girl who has pretty much put her entire life on hold ever since she's been in high school. Thinking about this as placing the seed of that question of making her realize, "Whoa, whoa, there are so many things I never thought about." This is kind of the first thing.
What has your favorite thing to write?
I've got to say, Spike has become one of my favorite things to write. It kind of came as a surprise to me, but he's such a complicated character, and in some ways can be so selfish, but in other ways he's probably one of the most unselfish characters in the series. I think in issue 6, that's kind of what it's all about — Spike coming to the realization that he still harbors feelings for Buffy, but then realizing in order to be the person he wants to be for Buffy, he can't even tell her that. That's definitely been fun to play around with, with his feelings for her. Unrequited love is always more fun than requited love.

Tough guy rapper Kanye West is throwing a tantrum because he didn't take home any of the five VMAs he was nominated for, but he's hiding behind the guise that MTV "exploited him."
"I wasn't mad that I just didn't win any awards," Kanye told New York's Z-100. "For me, [MTV] made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made 'Stronger' to open up the VMAs with a real power performance.
"And I just feel like I got betrayed by them," the rapper continues. "I feel like they tried to make it seem like I was so into everything that was going on in the show."
He also jumps to Britney Spears's defense, saying that the network used her, as well.
"They exploited Britney in helping to end her career," Kanye said. "When Britney was opening, near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, 'Man, it's a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.'"
Kanye has vowed to never work with MTV again, but is sure that he'll still come out on top.
"I have a connection in the fans' heart that the press can't stop," he said.
Here's my personal note to Kanye:
Dear Kanye,
Go cry to your momma. Or put your binky back in and SHUT UP.

Well, heard back from my genius editor at Orbit about The Eternal Prison, so the long dark tea-time of my soul begins in earnest. Meaning I have some revisions to make.
Here's my recollection of the conversation, which should go a long way to illustrating the Exciting Life of a Novelist in These, The End Times:
Genius Editor: Hello! Put on some pants and listen.
ME: Uh. . .pants, pants, pants. . .hold on. . .pants, pants, where the hell–ah! Here's a pair. Not mine, but will have to do. <grunting noise> Whew! I've, uh, gained a few–okay! We're in. Shoot.
GE: I just got done with The Eternal Prison. Excellent. Best one so far. You're a genius.
ME: Hooray!
GE: Wait, don't start drinking yet.
ME: <pausing with bottle in air> Uh, okay.
GE: I could not help but notice that we seem to be missing several chapters. Like, the whole sequence when they visit the Center of the Earth to retrieve the magic ring? Aside from not really being in concert with the universe you've created in the first two books, this whole sequence is just not there. At the end of one chapter they say they're heading to the Center of the Earth, and the next chapter it's like fifteen years later and that whole adventure is recalled in flashback by the characters. Very few flashbacks. It was very confusing. Was there a Unicorn? Because there was a lot of Unicorn imagery that might have made more sense if we'd been given that part of the story.
ME: Got it: more unicorn. I can do that.
GE: And, frankly, the whole last third of the book seems like ten chapters from a totally different book, just pasted in with the character and place names searched-and-replaced. Which I can tell because the search-and-replacing was sloppy, resulting in Avery Cates being referred to as Avery DorCatesothy throughout. Aside from this sort of unprofessional mistake, the last third of the book, as a consequence, makes absolutely no sense. Suddenly they're in a zeppelin on an alien planet? And there's elves?
ME: Uh. . .would more unicorn solve this as well?
GE: No, frankly, it would not. I think you have to re-write the whole last third. You know, so it makes sense.
ME: Uh-huh. Sure, sure. No problem.
GE: Good.
ME: What, exactly, does "make sense" mean, in this context? I really don't see why more unicorn wouldn't work here as well. It would, you know, create a visual link between the two sections.
GE: Moving on, I can't help but notice that several chapters interspersed throughout the manuscript are, in actualilty, Wikipedia entries, simply cut-and-pasted into the file, with no attribution or explanation. The entries don't even seem to have anything to do with the story. For example, chapter 17 is the entry for the Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden.
ME: Shows what you know. This is deep, Joyce-ian stuff, here. You have to look deeper. I am a genius. Of sorts.
GE: Well, we can't publish it like this.
ME: Right! I've been taking notes. Let's see. . .basically, you want more unicorn. That's what I'm getting.
ME: Oh! Right. And lose the Wikipedia stuff, despite the fact that that's the core of the book and will win awards for us. But I should delete the Wikipedia entries. And more unicorn. Got it! When do you need a rewrite? I'm pretty open, I could have it to you by tomorrow morning. Maybe noon, but probably morning.
ME: Holy shit, do you think there's a Wikipedia page on unicorns? Damn, I might have this re-write for you by tonight.
GE: <dial tone>
My memory may not be what it once was, so some of the details may have been fudged in there. Back to work!

Like any spinster worth her weight in crazy, Jennifer Love Hewitt celebrated her 30th birthday Saturday by dressing up like Audrey Hepburn and going to Tiffany's. So, wait, senility kicks in at 30? Christ, I might as well drown myself in the bathtub. Or go to McDonald's dressed as Humphrey Bogart. Either one.
She only wishes she had the career of Audrey Hepburn. She is so meh.
Set down the croissant and walk away…
And check out this hilarious video about the GIRLS GONE WILD PORNO BAILOUT (but beware the man in the mustache)
wow fat and flabby. this girl can starve her self and work out at a gym 24hrs a day but she never seems to really loose it.
she used to be hot, what happened to her?
The bathtub may not be a bad idea since you are struggling with comedic writing.
its so freaky how comments pile up oh so quick!
haha greatness delirious, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
she´s still hot
She's not crazy for doing something quirky to mark a milestone-birthday but she's certainly insane for thinking she can pull off Audrey Hepburn.
i think her figure looks nice. tiny waist!
Why do all celebs drive that Mercedes Benz Gelandewagen? I also love it, but why do they? Oh, because they all do. Fashion, a fickle mistress…
She looks great. Would love to get behind her big hips and work that nice rear. Make sure there is a mirror involved though so I can see that beautiful face.
wait didn't she play as audrey in The Audrey Hepburn Story?
she's done this scene before, but she was skinny… and hot… and not a tool
Nothing screams successful career like dressing up as someone else and inventing a reason for people to take your picture.
When you're buried ears-deep in that ass, her mental state is the last thing you need to worry about.
Instead, have a panic attack over the possibilty that she might "lose her shit".
I think she looks cute, although I am willing to quibble that JLH is actually dressed up like Holly Golightly.
No, she's 30 and has a normal body. Most jr high and hs girls are fat slobs compared to Jlove. I'm sure most of you hate just because your women are not nearly as cute all around.
Sooooo cute and feminine. Most women at 30 are pigs with super love handles.
She has, and always had, a horrible sense of fashion. You'd think that she'd as least hire a stylist or something.
I will say that the dress does accentuate the mounds of mammary flesh that I love to suck on. Her tits look fabulous in that dress!!!!
Holy shit! She is 30???
All these comments cannot bury the past… it lives on in the last thread.
I miss mimi!
Rewritten it might sound like this…
Bless my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God,
don't forget a single blessing!
3-5 He forgives your sins–every one.
He heals your diseases–every one.
He redeems you from hell–saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy–a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness–beauty eternal.
He renews your youth–you're always young in his presence.
6-18 God makes everything come out right;
he puts victims back on their feet.
He showed Moses how he went about his work,
opened up his plans to all Israel.
God is sheer mercy and grace;
not easily angered, he's rich in love.
He doesn't endlessly nag and scold,
nor hold grudges forever.
He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve,
nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
As high as heaven is over the earth,
so strong is his love to those who fear him.
And as far as sunrise is from sunset,
he has separated us from our sins.
As parents feel for their children,
God feels for those who fear him.
He knows us inside and out,
keeps in mind that we're made of mud.
Men and women don't live very long;
like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,
But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly,
leaving nothing to show they were here.
God's love, though, is ever and always,
eternally present to all who fear him,
Making everything right for them and their children
as they follow his Covenant ways
and remember to do whatever he said.
19-22 God has set his throne in heaven;
he rules over us all. He's the King!
So bless God, you angels,
ready and able to fly at his bidding,
quick to hear and do what he says.
Bless God, all you armies of angels,
alert to respond to whatever he wills.
Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are–
everything and everyone made by God.
And you, O my soul, bless God!
I do not paste stupid pictures.
I never say nasty things about woman
This is how you will know if it is a CandyO imposter!
I'm the real CandyO!
And for you to know me so
I will always speak in rhyme
I will do this every time
If my imposter tries the same
You will notice he's to blame
For some badly written prose
Not in cadence as mine shows
Intelligence, emotion too
So please try not to misconstrue
The fakery of jerks like him
Who always leave me feeling grim
So I devised this plan today
To prove that in my heartfelt way
You will always truly know
This post was made by CandyO!
There is NO WAY she eats that croissant and drinks that coffee. NO WAY. (Unless it's, you know, ALL SHE EATS that day.)
I would do anything in the world to make love to this woman. She is the most beautiful creature in the entire world. I am secretly trying to become a millionaire so I can ask her out. When I see her on TV I get all shaky and jittery. My tongue starts making circles on the roof of my mouth uncontrollably. I want to lay her down and perform oral sex on her for 3 hours. Every woman I have ever been with, I am pretending it is Jen. She is the only Goddess in Hollywood. The other no talent hacks aren't fit to carry Jen's luggage.
CandyO are you ok?
Who is she kidding? She's about three times the size of Audrey Hepburn.
I think she is the most sexy celebrity, so there are so many men are talking about her at ____MillionaireLoving. C O M____ forum, they are interested in posting her naked photos and private news.
Don't care how batsh*t crazy she is. She's hot.
her fat is like oozing out of her gloves.. that's disgusting.
Not only do I still find her very attractive and would still "hit it," I'd also marry her too.
I did, however see her on the Tonight Show last week and was mildly let down. She is a notorious fan of not exercising and essentially said as much by admitting she couldn't do a single "real" pushup.
But damn, I love them boobies.
Senile or not, I'd be all over that like a twenty dollar suit, oh yes I surely would.
#32: WTF are you talking about?!?
she looks hot !!!I would do her for sure! those boobs are bangin' you know what I'm sayin"? she maybe crazy but I love that shit ahhaha
ok, maybe it's a little weird or just because i love breakfast at tiffany's but i totally would dress up like audrey and go to tiffany's for my 30th!
She never was "hot". she just has kinda big tits that she will not show.
dude. you and i both know she threw that dry old baguette away and replaced it with a krispy kreame once the paparazzi left.
She can do 10 push ups.
One for each tv dinner.
I apologize for nasty comments on this site but I am not responsible.
This girl is annoying – but Pink isn't -
find out the best idea for Pink's future tour and expert remixer Bimbo Jones.
How they could and should collaborate for nightly after parties.
Happy Birthday Jennifer! Get yourself something nice. Have faith that you will meet a better guy.
I am going to BAN anyone pretending to be me!
I LOVE Amy Winehouse!
She looks like she's got midget arms
But I'm an asshole, so what do I know?
She's still hot IMO. The fact that she can even pull off the Audrey Hepburn thing just makes me want her more, quite frankly.
ohhh, JLH. When will you(r rack) and I be one?
BTW… Jesus loves me! (not Madonna's Jesus)
Hey, the real theSuperfticialWriter, go ahead. We don't care. There are thousands of other websites we can go to. If you want to stop some of the dialogue here, stop posting stupid, irrelevant stories.
By the way, is it true you are gay and have the hots for that other Madden boy?
That seems to be the only reason to put pictures of that loser here.

Wed, Oct 01, 2003
The Department of
Justice and The Department of Transportation Tuesday announced that
Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc. has pleaded guilty to 12 felony
counts for violating the Hazardous Material Transportation Act.
Emory has agreed to pay a criminal penalty of $6 million and
develop a compliance program to detect and deter future
Emery, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNF, Inc., provides air and
land transportation services for business to business shippers of
heavyweight cargo. Its major operation hub is near the Dayton
International Airport in Vandalia (OH).
"With the sheer amount of hazardous materials being shipped on
our nation's transportation infrastructure, we must track down and
bring to justice those who violate our transportation laws," said
Attorney General John Ashcroft. "This will significantly reduce the
potentially severe consequences of a hazardous materials incident,
whether by air, sea, road or rail."
"Safety is the Bush Administration's highest transportation
priority. Irresponsible transportation of Hazmat puts our
communities at risk and jeopardizes the lives and health of the
traveling public as well as the safety of first responders," said
Department of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta. "There are no
shortcuts to safety, and we will give no quarter to those who
violate Hazmat transportation safety requirements."
Emery's operation
includes the transportation of freight designated as hazardous
material under regulations issued by the Department of
Transportation. The regulations require the operator of the
aircraft to give the pilot-in-command of the aircraft, prior to
departure, written notification of hazardous material boarded on
the plane.
By its plea, Emery admits that on 12 occasions between November
1998 and July 1999 it transported hazardous material on aircraft
leaving its hub without providing the required written notification
to the pilot-in-command of the aircraft that hazardous material had
been placed on board the aircraft. The type of hazardous material
involved included freight classified as miscellaneous dangerous
goods, non-flammable gas, flammable liquid, and explosive and
radioactive material. Without written notification of hazmat,
pilots would not have the information they need to properly respond
to on-board emergencies, such as fires or spills.
"The Emery case is an important step on the road to a hazardous
materials transportation system that is safer for all Americans,"
Environment and Natural Resources Assistant Attorney General Tom
Sansonetti, whose Division prosecuted the case in conjunction with
the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of Ohio.
"Many elements of the law enforcement community, including the
Federal Aviation Administration and the Justice Department, worked
together to bring this significant case to resolution," said
Department of Transportation Inspector General Kenneth M. Mead,
whose office helped investigate the case.
"The transportation of
hazardous material is an area in which the safety and security of
the public intersect. The message here is that the Departments of
Transportation and Justice are committed to strong enforcement of
hazardous materials laws and regulations for the safety and
security of the public."
"Transporting hazardous materials is a necessary by-product of
our industrial world," said Gregory G. Lockhart, US Attorney for
the Southern District of Ohio. "Such tasks must be done with all
regard for the safety of those involved."

Easily set up open-source software Planet to consolidate your favorite RSS news feeds into one local news source.
By Max Hetrick
Do you get tired of visiting dozens of Web site feeds to get your daily IT news? Do you receive too many email messages from mailing lists? Or do you just want to set up a news site for internal IT use? This TechTip will show you how to use the Planet RSS feed reader to consolidate your news and informational feeds.
Though many Domino products will be supported on V6R1 in the future, the only Domino servers that work currently are releases 7.0.3 and 8.0.1, which is still under wraps.
By Chris Smith
Most System i administrators know that V6R1 is on its way and that in order to upgrade to the new version of the operating system they will have to first convert their existing programs before they can run on V6R1. What you may not know, however, is that there are special procedures for Domino servers, and not all Lotus Domino products will run on V6R1.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. – Junction City police arrested four Fort Riley Soldiers early Friday morning following an alleged burglary at a Junction City home.
The Soldiers allegedly broke into the home and held a family at knife point while the burglary took place.
One of the victims alerted police to the crime using a cell phone. Police arrived at the scene and arrested the Soldiers without incident as the four attempted to flee the residence.
Arrested were Pvt. Joshua D. Mcgatha, Pvt. Romale Pope, Pvt. Jeremy Harris and Pvt. Teandre Thompkins.
"In no way do these alleged actions reflect the values of Big Red One Soldiers," said Lt. Col. Matthew Hackathorn, 1st Inf. Div. Public Affairs spokesperson. "Local law enforcement can expect full cooperation from Fort Riley in their investigation."
The four currently are being held at the Junction City Police Department until their initial court appearance today. Charges include aggravated burglary, kidnapping, aggravated assault, theft and criminal threats.

The Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (CSCI) is tapping the potential of stem cells for human health.
Welcome to our new website, which coincides with a new effort to structure and illustrate the research of more than 100 stem cell laboratories throughout Columbia. To those outside the university, we hope to convey our excitement about the wealth and future potential of our stem cell programs. Internally, the site will act as a vector for collaboration and exchange of information. Click on the thematic thumbnails below to find out more about CSCI activity in therapeutic areas across the spectrum.
Over the coming years, stem cell research will undoubtedly need to negotiate new hurdles, even as it opens beneficial avenues that are unimagined today. The route to success will not be linear or straightforward, but we hope that we can count upon your support every step of the way.

Pregnancy Discrimination
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 06-13-2013 - 10:06am
At a time when most pregnant women work, there are new efforts to keep companies from unfairly targeting employees because of a pregnancy. The allegations of pregnancy discrimination persist and have even risen in recent years despite a decades-old law against it,according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"We all think that pregnancy discrimination is illegal, but what has happened is the way that law has been interpreted," says Dina Bakst, co-president of A Better Balance, an advocacy group that pushes for family-friendly work policies.
Bakst says courts have interpreted the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act narrowly, allowing employers to deny the same kinds of accommodations they make for those with on-the-job injuries, say a pulled muscle or broken bone.
How are things at your work since you've been pregnant? Have you experienced any kind of pregnancy discrimination?

In late July, the Bulgarian Parliament ratified an agreement between Bulgaria and Russia on the building of the South Stream pipeline. Bulgaria's interests are fully defended because the company that will develop and operate the pipeline on its territory will be with 50% participating interest of Bulgaria and 50% participating interest of Russia. South Stream will transport Russian natural gas to Italy. The pipeline is to extend under the Black Sea, from Russia's southern port of Novorossiysk to Bulgaria, and then onward to Austria and Italy. Russia's Energy Ministry recently announced a preliminary cost assessment of the project at $20 billion, up from the initial assessment of about $10 billion.
Repairs to Shell's damaged oil pipeline in Nigeria have been slow, a Shell spokesman said. Shell's Nembe Creek line, located in the Niger Delta, was sabotaged in late July, and repairs have been struggling to make significant progress.

Wendy is a jazz vocalist, vocal educator, and recording artist who has been delivering smart and arresting jazz to the mountains of Western NC and in the process has become one of the most popular artists in the region.
A classically trained vocalist with over 15 years of professional theatre experience as part of her background, she now consistently receives accolades for her energetic and entertaining renditions of swing, bop, post bop, originals, and Great American Songbook standards.
She recently finished her latest recording project with Steinway artist and composer Michael Jefry Stevens. Their new CD entitled PERFECT DREAM was released on June 12 of 2014 on the Artists Recording Collective label and features the compositions of Mr. Stevens. Now available at CD Baby, iTunes, and Amazon mp3.

Wendy received a B.M. and an M.M. in vocal performance from Appalachian State University and then joined the voice faculty there where she taught for 8 years before embarking on a full time, professional singing/acting career. Having sung with Opera Carolina, Appalachian Opera Theatre, and the Brevard Music Center, her favorite opera roles include Adina in L'Elisir d'Amore, Laetitia in The Old Maid and the Thief, and Papagena in Die Zauberflote.
An accomplished Equity actor as well as singer, Wendy has appeared in leading roles on stages of many prominent professional theatres throughout the U.S. including Florida Repertory Theatre, Flat Rock Playhouse, Little Theatre on the Square (IL), Temple Theatre, and Blowing Rock Stage Company. She received glowing reviews for her portrayals of Kate in Kiss Me Kate, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Miss Sandra in All Shook Up and Brenda in Smokey Joe's Cafe...to name just a few.
She was also one of nine singers chosen after extensive auditions in North America, Europe, and Australia, to appear at Tokyo Disney in the Broadway review ENCORE!
From 1991 - 2008 she was a frequent headliner and lead production singer on cruise ships and it was during this time the she wrote Everything is Rosie (a one-woman show celebrating the life of Rosemary Clooney) and Ladies and Gentlemen (a cabaret show celebrating the pioneers of traditional pop music such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, and Ella Fitzgerald). Each of the shows premiered in south Florida at the Winter Park Playhouse in 2009 and 2010, respectively. When asked if these singers are relevant today, Jones responds, "I believe they're all relevant today, as the ability to interpret a lyric never goes out of style. We are talking about the masters here."

In 2009, Wendy went on a "theatre sabbatical" to concentrate all her efforts on the study of jazz. It was during this time she first met and began regularly performing with Michael Jefry Stevens. It wasn't long before they decided to team up to record his music on their first CD together. An ideal musical partnership, they are already planning their next project.
Wendy cites her greatest influences to be Jon Hendricks, Horace Silver, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon, Rosemary Clooney, and Frank Sinatra.
Wendy is currently on the faculty at University of North Carolina - Asheville where she teaches voice and improvisation for the Jazz/Contemporary Music BFA program and directs the university's jazz vocal ensemble STUDIO 18. She is also on the faculty of Brevard College where she teaches voice and directs the opera program.
She is a proud member of The Jazz Education Network, Actors' Equity Association, The Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, Sigma Alpha Iota, Pi Kappa Llambda, and Alpha Psi Omega.
