Video: Dr. Corasanti a Passenger in Car Hit by Alleged Drunk Teen
Video: Corasanti A Victim in DWI Crash
CHEEKTOWAGA, NY- Dr. James Corasanti, convicted of misdemeanor DWI last year for an accident that claimed the life of an Amherst teen, was himself the victim of an alleged drunk driver Thursday morning.
The accident happened shortly after 11 AM on the Kensington Expressway eastbound at the Thruway.
Cheektowaga Police say Corasanti was a passenger in a car rear-ended by a 17-year-old girl with a blood alcohol level of .17. The teen, who was not injured, is facing charges of DWI, reckless driving and other vehicle and traffic violations.
Dr. Corasanti complained of back pain and was taken by a friend to Buffalo General Hospital. The driver of the car he was riding in, Jodie Clark, 51, suffered a head injury and was taken by ambulance to ECMC.
Corasanti was behind the wheel of a car that struck and killed Amherst teenager Alix Rice back in July, 2011.
While this was happening, a motion hearing was being held before the start of the civil trial against Dr. Corasanti.

What types of accommodation are available in Thailand?
A myriad of accommodation options is available throughout Thailand, ranging from 5-star luxury hotels to simple tents and bungalows. The price and type of lodging facilities on offer is associated with location, with Bangkok and major tourist cities boasting some of the best hotels in the world, while rudimentary rooms are more common in rural areas.
Regardless, all types of accommodation in Thailand are known for being clean, efficient, and friendly, with world-class service and unbeatable hospitality that comes naturally for all Thais. In addition to type of accommodation, prices vary depending on the time of the year. Nationwide, they are at their highest during the cool season (Nov-Feb) and are less during the hot season (Mar-May) and rainy season (Jun-Oct). The only exception is Bangkok, where occupancy rate is typically high throughout the year and prices remain relatively fixed. Hotels in Chiang Mai and Phuket are often fully booked during the cool season. From Dec 15-Jan 15, prices will increase even further as this is the peak time for tourism
How do you find reasonable accommodations?
What time can I check-in & check-out of the hotel?
Are there other lodging choices?
How much can I expect to pay for lodging accommodations in Thailand?
What is the room tax for Thailand Hotels?
Is the accommodation tax refundable?

MORRISTOWN - No serious injuries were reported after a Chevrolet Traverse rolled over on Route 12 near the intersection with Atwood Road.
The SUV, driven by 24 year old Zachary Kuhn of Massena, was totaled during the accident that took place just after 3 p.m. on Monday.
He hit the guard rails, the embankment and rolled twice, Brier Hill Volunteer Fire Department Chief Shawn R. Macaulay said.
The Brier Hill Fire Department and Morristown Volunteer Rescue Squad were on the scene as well as the State Police.
Mr. Kuhns passenger, 29 year old Katherine Lashomb, also of Massena, was taken to the hospital complaining of neck and head pain according to State Police. State Police said Mr. Kuhn, who was traveling north on Route 12, told them he was talking with Ms. Lashomb at the time of the accident and got distracted.
Mr. Kuhns car hit the guard wires and State Police said it appeared he over corrected before driving off the road.
The car rolled over twice before being tangled in wire fencing and coming to a stop on its left side. Mr. Kuhn was able to walk away without any injuries.
State Police issued Mr. Kuhn a ticket for moving from his lane unsafely.
His car was towed by Maple City Auto Sales.

SYRACUSE – At one end of the Henninger High School gymnasium Thursday night hung the championship banners of scholastic sports; at the other, large American flags flanking a podium with the presidential seal.
The gym, redolent with the sweat of competitions past, was filled with a different kind of excitement as spectactors awaited the arrival of President Barack Obama, who delivered a speech here as part of a two-day bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania to promote his plan to make higher education more affordable.
Ahead of the presidents arrival, a recent graduate of a Syracuse area high school, Marissa Jones, sang the national anthem and the crowd said the pledge of allegiance. A school band played jazz standards as the room filled with more than 1,300 people who stood or sat chattering and waiting.
The line to get into the building stretched out of sight in this quiet, working class neighborhood near the heart of the city.
After brief remarks from U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Mr. Obama was introduced by Emilio Ortiz, a rising senior at Corcoran High School, one of the five high schools in the Syracuse City School District.
Mr. Obama began with a roundup of his administrations efforts to help the economy recover from recession before a pair of hecklers with a sign reading Free Bradley Manning interrupted and were removed.
Undaunted, Mr. Obama said the woman who spoke out during his speech was one of the more polite protesters he has encountered. The Post-Standard reported that one of the hecklers was former Green Party congressional candidate Ursula Rozum, who ran for the 24th District seat and finished third behind Dan Maffei, D-Syracuse, and former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-Onondaga Hill.
Mr. Maffei was in attendance.
Mr. Obama then began to introduce his proposal by highlighting the difficulties the latest generation of Americans face when trying to pay for college.
The average tuition at a four-year college has increased by 250 percent over the past three decades while the typical family income has increased by only 16 percent, according to the White House.
At the same time, a college education has never been more important, Mr. Obama said.
More than ever before, some form of higher education two year, four year, technical college thats the path into the middle class, Mr. Obama said. The fact is, college has never been more necessary, but its also never been more expensive.
Mr. Obama emphasized the point that graduating seniors leave college with an average debt of $26,000.
And a lot of young people owe more than that, he said.
Declaring education to be a key to expanding the economy and strengthening the middle class, Mr. Obama unveiled a three-point proposal, which includes a new rating system for colleges based on access, affordability and graduation rates; an effort to encourage schools to embrace innovation like online education and partnerships between high schools and colleges; and a renewed emphasis on a program designed to help graduates manage the debt they have already incurred.
According to the White House, the federal government provides more than $150 billion each year in student financial aid, including $9.7 billion to higher education institutions in New York through Pell Grants, undergraduate federal loans, graduate and parent federal student loans, and campus-based aid.
Right now, most of these resources are given to colleges based on the number of students they enroll, not on the number who earn degrees, the White House said.
The first part of Mr. Obamas proposal would direct the Department of Education to compare colleges with similar missions and reward the colleges that do the most to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds and the colleges that improve their own performance with a higher rating on the College Scorecard. The ratings would be derived from public hearings with students, parents, college administrators and state officials from around the country and would be based on:
n Access, determined in large part by the number of students receiving financial aid
n Affordability, based on average tuition, scholarships and loan debt
n Graduation and transfer rates, graduate earnings, and advanced degrees received by a colleges graduates
The new ratings would be recorded before the 2015 school year. After the ratings are refined over a four-year period, Mr. Obama said, his administration will ask for legislation from Congress that would tie federal financial aid to a schools rating on the scorecard.
The second part of the proposal aims to encourage innovation and competition among schools by taking advantage of recent trends in higher education such as three-year accelerated degree programs; massive open online courses, or MOOCs; and flipped classrooms where students watch lectures at home and are tested on the material in the classroom. Mr. Obama said he also would aim to encourage dual enrollment, allowing students to earn college credit while still in high school.
The president is proposing funding for innovative initiatives at schools with federal money. He also is seeking to reduce regulation at schools that promote high-quality, low cost measures, such as granting financial aid based on how much students learn rather than the amount of time they spend in the classroom.
Finally, Mr. Obama said he would seek to make all student borrowers eligible for the Pay-As-You-Earn program that went into effect in December. Under that program, federal student loan payments are capped at 10 percent of a graduates monthly income. Students who first borrowed before 2008 or have not borrowed since 2011 are not currently eligible for the program. As part of the presidents proposal, the Department of Education will begin contacting student borrowers who may benefit from the program, including those who have fallen behind on their payments, have higher-than-average debts, or are not able to pay because of financial hardship or unemployment.
Summarizing his plan, Mr. Obama said, Were going to help more students afford college, were going to help more students graduate from college, were going to help more students get rid of debt so they can get started on their lives, and its going to take some hard work, but the people of Syracuse know something about hard work, the American people know something about hard work. ...
Were going to make sure that no matter who you are or where you come from or who you love, or what your last name is ... in the United States you can make it if you try, Mr. Obama said, as the Bruce Springsteen song Land of Hopes and Dreams began playing and the president entered the crowd to shake hands.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - Aaron Gagnon scored his first NHL goal Tuesday night to help the Winnipeg Jets earn a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Gagnon was playing in just his third game since he was called up from the AHL.
Kyle Wellwood, Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler had Winnipeg's other goals.
Kevin Porter had the only goal for the Sabres in the third period, spoiling what could have been Ondrej Pavelec's first shutout of the season. Porter's shot glanced off Wheeler.
Pavelec finished with 29 saves.
It was the second win in a row for the Jets during a six-game homestand they pretty well need to sweep to have a chance of making the playoffs. They trail Washington by two points in the Southeast Division.

Three Questions
We continue our Three Questions series, hitting up TFC beat reporter Kurtis Larson to see what's going on with the Reds ahead of Saturday's match...
Jeff Crandall: For the seventh straight season, Toronto FC once again find themselves without a postseason berth. What is the mood around this club in Ontario and is there more hope that under the leadership of Tim Leiweke TFC will begin to realize its potential on the field?
Kurtis Larson: I think there's a bit of cautious optimism circulating the city. Fans have been through this song and dance before. The difference this time around is that TFC has been granted a budget of $26 million to spend on a pair of Designated Players this off-season. Head Coach Ryan Nelsen and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke returned from a European scouting trip this week where they met with agents and clubs.
For once, the team has its salary cap under control after offloading a number of big contracts. During the off-season, you'll see big-money guys like Danny Koevermans and Stefan Frei leave as well. That's a huge turn of events for a team that's always had a ton of guys on cap-killing salaries who have been injured or underperformed.
As a result, fans are optimistic Nelsen has the tools he needs to bring in new talent. And that, combined with the club signing new GM Tim Bezbatchenko, has some fans thinking TFC might turn a corner next year and at least push for a playoff spot.
JC: Stefan Frei hasn't played an MLS match in two years but with Joe Bendik suspended, the Swiss 'keeper finds himself in the ironic spot of making his return between the sticks and quite possibly his last appearance for TFC Saturday. How has he approached this week and what is his form like, i.e. how has he performed in reserve matches?
KL: No one is more respected at this club than Stefan Frei, who was arguably one of the top three 'keepers in the league from 2009-10. Had it not been for a horrible spell of injuries -- a broken leg in 2012 and a broken nose this preseason -- he'd likely still have a job.
That said, that was then, this is now and Frei's form is somewhat of an unknown seeing as TFC has only played a handful of reserve games at home this season.
- TACTICAL: Keep up the high pressure vs. TFC
It's imperative that Chicago tests Frei early in this one and makes him work. I'm not entirely confident he'll be able to shake off the cobwebs as quickly as most think.
Don't forget, Frei and Toronto FC were shelled 6-0 the last time the Swiss-born 'keeper was in goal when the Montreal Impact laid waste to TFC in a Canadian Cup match. That couldn't have been good for his confidence.
JC: No matter what they do in their final two matches, Toronto FC will finish ninth in the Eastern Conference. With their first round draft pick sent to Vancouver in the Eric Hassli trade, Toronto has virtually nothing to play for. Still, is the team still approaching Saturday's game vs. Chicago and the season finale vs. Montreal with something to prove?
KL: I think most of the players will be delighted if they can spoil a few playoff dreams over the next two weeks. Toronto knows Chicago is desperate for three points and will be looking to do what it can to prevent the Fire from walking into the playoffs.
Ironically, if TFC somehow takes all three points at Toyota Park Saturday, they'll be doing rivals the Montreal Impact a great service. As a result, fans are in a catch-22, similar to what we saw during the Panama-U.S. game this week.
The bigger prize for most TFC fans is knocking off Montreal at BMO Field on the final day of the season to hurt the Impact's post-season chances.
Thanks for your time Kurtis!

In terms of my soccer writing heroes, The Washington Post's Steven Goff is the epitome for me.
Long before covering the game was trendy and social media made everyone an expert, Goff was there giving incredible coverage to the U.S. Men's and Women's national teams as well as D.C. United through his Soccer Insider blog on washingtonpost.com. He's kept up in the social media age as well, with nearly 100,000 people following his @SoccerInsider account on Twitter.
So naturally we here at Chicago-Fire.com are honored to have him answer three questions relating to D.C. United as the Men in Red prepare for a crucial clash with the newly crowned U.S. Open Cup champions Friday night at RFK Stadium (LIVE 7pm CT on NBC Sports Network).
Jeff Crandall: Where does Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup victory rank in terms of the club's other trophy wins?
Steven Goff: The four MLS Cup trophies rank higher than this championship, but among the three Open Cup titles, this one was the most satisfying -- on the road against a high-quality opponent during an otherwise terrible year.
It's hard to compare domestic tournament titles with international trophies (CONCACAF Champions Cup and Interamerican Cup many years ago). The Supporters' Shield is different because it involves a season-long effort. All in all, I haven't seen so many happy DCU faces in a very long time.
JC: With the playoffs long out of sight and the Open Cup match the last meaningful one for D.C. this season, what type of lineup do you expect United to run out Friday vs. the Fire?
SG: United played Tuesday night and traveled all day Wednesday, so I would expect a mix of regulars and reserves Friday. I would guess Jared Jeffrey, Kyle Porter, Luis Silva, Daniel Woolard, among others, will enter the starting lineup. Maybe Dennis Iapichino and Conor Doyle as well.
JC: Having won a trophy, is Ben Olsen's job safe for 2014 despite the possibility of finishing with the league's worst-ever regular season record?
SG: Olsen has a guaranteed contract in 2014, so even without winning the Open Cup title, I expected to see him back. The trophy certainly helps his cause. The players play hard for him and management loves him.
He's been involved with the club as a player, assistant coach and head coach for 15 years -- deep ties that are hard to break. I do think ownership sees a bright future with Olsen in charge.
Continuing our Three Questions series, I hit up TheCrew.com's Cody Sharrett to find out what's been going on with "The Massive's" turnaround in form under interim head coach Brian Bliss ahead of Saturday's visit to Crew Stadium (LIVE 6:00pm CT on My50) I also exchanged answers with him for TheCrew.com, see below
Jeff Crandall: The Crew looked destined to miss the playoffs again this season but the move of Brian Bliss downstairs as interim head coach has seen the team win two of its last three matches. What has changed since he took over the dressing room?
Cody Sharrett: With the coaching change, I think some players felt they had something to prove and re-earn their spots in the lineup. Bliss has brought more accountability to the club with his tell-like-it-is, yet positive approach. Training sessions are definitely more vocal and the players seem to be responding to Bliss' style.
Cody Sharrett: Great at giving speeches
The change has also helped guys who had maybe fallen out of favor with Robert Warzycha earn new opportunities on the field. Since the coaching change, both Tony Tchani and Tyson Wahl have seen their minutes increase. Tchani has brought a physical presence to central midfield and was key in the wins against Houston and Montreal.
Even in the 3-0 loss at Kansas City, Tchani was one of the few bright spots for the Crew. Wahl, on the other hand, brings veteran presence to the backline alongside stalwart Chad Marshall. Aside from one slip up that led to a Marco Di Vaio goal, Wahl paired well with Marshall in his first match of the season at centerback.
JC: The Fire dealt Dominic Oduro to the Crew in a January trade that brought Dilly Duka and eventually Mike Magee to Chicago. Dom just scored his 10th goal of the season for the Crew last weekend, how has he helped the Columbus attack improve this year?
CS: Oduro's speed has definitely added a different dimension to the Crew attack that just hasn't been there in the past. Federico Higuaín leads MLS with 44 attempted through balls this season, and with Oduro's pace, can you blame him? When the two have connected, it's been a work of art as evidenced by Oduro's goals in Toronto earlier in the season and last week in Montreal.
A pleasant surprise in Oduro's game for Crew fans has been his ability to make defenses pay for mistakes, thus coining the term "Grand Theft Oduro." Teams have been more hesitant playing out of the back due to Oduro's ability to pounce on miscues.
Leading the team with 10 goals this season, Oduro has been a breath of fresh air for the Black & Gold.
JC: The Crew have little margin for error in remaining matches if they hope to qualify for the playoffs. With backs against the wall, what is the mood and spirit like going into Saturday's game vs. the Fire?
CS: The locker room has been positive, especially since the win at Montreal. The Crew knows it needs help from other results, but also realizes it most likely needs to win-out to ensure a playoff spot. With four of the five remaining matches coming against Eastern Conference opponents, the points are there for the taking.
Cody Sharrett: The Fire sit in playoff position for the first time in 2013. What's the atmosphere like in the locker room with six matches left to go in the season?
Jeff Crandall: Having gone 2-7-1 through their first 10 matches, everyone at the Fire will say the team had a pretty bad start to the year. Still, the spirit never faltered and the arrivals of Mike Magee and Bakary Soumare in late May helped stabilize things a great deal.
Despite a few disappointing results to start September, the team still remains one of the hottest in the league since that time but the fact the fact that we're in mid-September and last Saturday was the first time they've reached a playoff position tells just how deep a hole was dug at the beginning of the year.
There are a few reasons for the turnaround this season but it most assuredly wouldn't have happened if the mood didn't stay positive through the hard times. Now that they're in a position to qualify for the playoffs, they've noticeably gained even more confidence heading into the close of the season and will go to Crew Stadium looking for a season sweep on Saturday.
Jeff Crandall: Known for squints & plaid
CS: New DP Juan Luis Ananganó bagged his first goal for the Fire last week against New England. How has he changed the dynamic of the club's attack?
JC: Though he is a Designated Player, Anangono was purposely not billed as someone that would come in and be a significant contributor right away. He is a strong target striker that has a lot of work ethic but as we see with many foreign players coming to MLS for the first time, an adjustment period is needed.
He showed flashes in games before but his 30th minute equalizer in Saturday's win over New England was huge for a Fire team that had once again conceded early in a match. Though he may have been offside on the second equalizer through Mike Magee, his shielding the defender was what gave the Fire's leading scorer an easy conversion.
Anangono's transition to the Fire and MLS isn't complete but his recent performances now give head coach Frank Klopas the most variety he's had all season up top and allows the manager to be more unpredictable with his lineups at the close of the season.
CS: Since the Fire's first season in 1998, the rivalry with the Crew has been one of the best in MLS. What is the general feeling of this rivalry among the Chicago supporters compared to other rivalries?
JC: In my view, (and I may be biased because I'm a Wolverine) the rivalry with the Crew is the best the Fire currently have. Last season 600 supporters went to Crew Stadium and the year before about 400 attended. Hands down, the visit(s) to Crew Stadium are one of the first games Fire supporters circle on their calendars when the schedule is released every year.
Games against the Crew mean a lot to Klopas as well as Crew Stadium was the site of his first win as interim head coach back on June 12, 2011 and it was him that scored the Golden Goal winner against Columbus in the 1998 U.S. Open Cup final at Soldier Field.
In the locker room, Ohioans Chris Rolfe and Austin Berry especially get up for games vs. "The Massive" but throughout the team, whether players are new or haven't been around too long, its known that matches vs. the Crew are big and usually very intense.
With both teams pushing for the playoffs and former players on both sides of the divide, I expect no less on Saturday.

|Motorcycle Explodes as Rider Ejected
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 20 August 2013 07:32
A motorcyclist was injured—thrown from his motorcycle as it exploded last night traveling NC 105. The crash occurred near the Avery line as the cycle traveled south among other vehicles, according to Trevor Morris who was traveling with Amir Shariati when the cycle
passed them in the four lane, "Instantaneously it caught fire—the bike blew up." Shariati said he ran down the embankment to find the cyclist some 60 feet past the guardrail while Morris called 9-1-1. Shariati said that the man was conscious and did not initially want medical attention, in spite of an obviously badly-broken leg. Trooper Alexander said he had no information on the man, who was airlifted to the Johnson City Medical Center by WINGS Air Rescue, and that the cycle was so heavily damaged, obtaining information from that was nearly impossible, and his investigation continues today. Foscoe Fire/First Responders put out the fire at the cycle and dealt with the injured man and traffic for quite a while as other units set up the landing zone along NC 105 near Shulls Mill.

ORLEANS–The Lake Region boys flexed their muscle on Tuesday night, easily defeating the Richford Falcons by the score of 66-43.
"I thought we held it out and the guys played well down the stretch," said LR coach James Ingalls. "We had our little places where we fell asleep for a while, but they worked well together."
Drew Gallup led the charge for the now 11-0 Rangers, scoring a team-high eighteen points.
The win keeps LRU in second place in Division II, tied record-wise with Vergennes, but trailing them in index points.
Brett McAllister's twenty points led all scorers as Richford falls to 2-6 with the loss.
The boys head to Danville on Friday to see if they can improve to 12-0 on the season.
Game time is at 7:30.

Over the years, The Jerry Springer Show has provided voyeurs with an up-close and personal look at the zoo animals in society. Sometimes, quite literally. With thousands of episodes in the can, Springer's introduced us to quite a few freaks and helped change the world of entertainment and reality television, not necessarily for the better.
And though daytime television is nothing more than the flu snot of demons, his show has supplied so many hilarious moments, moments that are much better experienced via screen shots than they are watching in full. As such, we present to you these 31 Jerry Springer screencaps which will allow you to enjoy the funniest elements of the show and still walk away with some braincells intact.
And yes, the last one is clearly fake. But hopefully, they're all fake.

So, which one? I'm having a hard time deciding if 5% increased stats (minus intellect of course) is better than 2.5% max mana return on EFFICIENT healing in terms of PvP.
So, which one? I'm having a hard time deciding if 5% increased stats (minus intellect of course) is better than 2.5% max mana return on EFFICIENT healing in terms of PvP.
Enlightenment by far for PvP. On top of the extra health you get haste. Just that fraction can sometimes make the difference between getting off a FH and having your partner die. Besides, the current speed of arena fights Rapture is near useless. Either you're dead in 10 seconds or you win.
There really is no point speccing for Enlightment unless you're using haste pieces for pvp.
And on top of that you'll loose an important mana regen while tanking the DK's in arena.
Borrowed Time currently doesn't effect Penance which makes it possible to put out a hasted Penance and a flash heal/Greater heal after it.
Incorrect. Borrowed Time does affect Penance. At least all the times I've cast it after a bubble it has.
Huh. You know, I had actually never even noticed that. Now I see though. I guess for the same reasons Twin Disciplines affects Mind Flay. Channeled spells are considered to be instant cast.
I still think Enlightenment would be better for PvP than Rapture simply because of the current speed of arena matches.
5% hp and haste won't save your ass against something you would have died from without it.
Rapture on the other hand will save your ass against other healer + DPS setups
Depends what you do really, you said pvp, and not "2on2 arena".
If you play offensive in battlegrounds, or heal in larger teams, like 5on5 or 10 man battleground teams, I would definitive go for Enlightenment.
Rapture is for when you play those long mana starved arena matches -- matches that haven't existed since season 4.
Average matches is so fast you won't ever go oom, so I wouldn't worry about it for now.

Comments about this product:
In the time period when that model of shuttle was in use, Cestus III was a disputed world and the site of a massacre by the Gorn, of over 500 Federation personnel. Not to mention, its location at the farthest frontier of Federation space, means it takes weeks to travel there. Who would spend that length of time, travelling to a desolate, desert wasteland, where you're likely to be murdered by giant lizard people? And, who would design a tourism poster trying to lure people there? This poster makes no sense!
