It's one of the most terrifying crimes that can happen to anyone – a violent home invasion in the dead of night.
And as of Sunday night, Buffalo Police were investigating four such crimes committed over a period of six days.
All four incidents involved men with guns who terrorized people after breaking into their homes late at night.
"We are trying to determine if there is any connection between these incidents. At this point, we don't know," said Chief of Detectives Dennis J. Richards.
"We do ask people in the community to be vigilant and alert. If you hear something unusual, such as loud noises or a door being broken down at a neighbor's house, call 911 immediately."
In the latest incident, a man broke into a home in the 200 block of Colvin Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. The intruder pointed a silver handgun at the home's male occupant and robbed the man of a brown paper bag that, according to the victim, contained $24,000 cash.
In the Colvin home invasion, the suspect was described as a black male with dark skin tone and "a bumpy face," police said.
Buffalo police have reported three other home invasions since Christmas night:
• Sometime between 8:40 and 9 p.m. Christmas night, two armed men wearing hoodies forced their way into a home in the 100 block of Farmer Street, near Tonawanda Street and Hertel Avenue. The men demanded money and then left the home and fled into the neighborhood. Police have not said whether anything was stolen. A man and woman who were in the home were not injured. The attackers were described by police as two young black men, one about 22 and the other about 25.
• About 12:30 a.m. Saturday, three men – one carrying a shotgun – kicked in an apartment door in the 1000 block of Grant Street, terrorizing two female occupants. The men searched the apartment and demanded that the occupants show them the attic. They, too, escaped empty-handed. The three intruders wore black clothing with hoodies and skull caps, police said.
• About 2 a.m. Saturday, three attackers broke into a home in the 300 block of West Delavan Avenue, where they robbed and terrorized three men and three women. Police said the three male victims were clubbed on the head with a shotgun, and one of the female victims suffered cuts to her head when she tried to escape by crashing through a window.
The bandits took cash and jewelry from several of the victims, police said.
"They did not hurt my daughter, but they scared the hell out of her," said the father of one of the female victims. "They made them all lay on the floor and stay quiet."
One of the attackers on West Delavan had a shotgun, and the other two had handguns, police said.
While the numbers are sporadic, city police generally investigate several home invasion crimes each month, said Richards.
"Sometimes the intruders are looking for drugs or money. It happens fairly often that they are looking for something that is not there, but they think it might be there," Richards said.
Anyone with knowledge of any of the crimes is asked to call the department's TIPCALL line at 847-2255.
Some home invasion crimes in Buffalo and its suburbs have shaken the community in recent years.
Just over a month ago, on Nov. 24, a 96-year-old man was badly beaten and robbed by intruders who broke into his home on Longview Avenue, on the city's East Side. Police are still investigating the attack on Levi Clayton, a popular church deacon and World War II veteran.
The attackers, including two men with handguns, took jewelry and guns from Clayton's home and caused a lot of damage looking for other items, police said.
Clayton was treated in Erie County Medical Center for a broken jaw and other injuries. ECMC said Sunday night that he is no longer a patient there.
"I know he has been doing better since the attack," said the Rev. James E. Giles, pastor of Greater Works Deliverance Fellowship Church and an active member of the Stop the Violence Coalition. "I know the police are still looking for the guys."
In Giles' view, there appears to have been a recent "spike" in such crimes in recent months, which he attributed to "desperate times" in the local economy.
"Desperate times usually result in a spike in crimes like this. That's an act of desperation to break into someone's home and rob him like that. … You can wind up doing a lot of time for something like that," Giles said Sunday night.
In a home invasion crime that turned to murder, Rochie Jones III, 28, of Cheektowaga, was sentenced last month to 17 years in state prison. He was convicted of manslaughter and weapons possession in connection with the November 2011 shooting death of Armod Law, a liquor store owner who was killed in his home on West Grand Boulevard in Cheektowaga.
Edward McCloud, 41, of Buffalo, has been convicted of second-degree murder in the Law killing, and he faces a possible sentence of 25 years to life, authorities said.
Law, 37, was shot in the head with a semiautomatic handgun, and intruders used duct tape to bind another person in the home, who was not injured, police said.

Comments about Bobblehead Horse Craft Kit :
Out of 12 horses in the kit I received, three will not stand. Three will stand if only if balanced carefully. Choice of colors included for painting horses: blue, green, red, yellow, black, white. No browns. The color shown on the example painted pony is not available. Could be fun for kids if the horses actually stood and there was a more realistic choice of colors.

Men's Tennis Hosts EIU and Indiana Tech Saturday
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State men's tennis team is set to host a doubleheader Saturday against Eastern Illinois and Indiana Tech. The Cardinals will face the Panthers at 1 p.m. and then play a night match against Indiana Tech at 6:30 p.m. at the Muncie YMCA Tennis Center.
The Cardinals opened spring action with two straight victories over Detroit Mercy (Jan. 18) and IPFW (Jan. 19). Ball State then suffered a loss to Cleveland State (Jan. 26) and No. 48 Michigan State (Feb. 1).
Ball State has won four straight over Eastern Illinois since the 2009-10 season. The Cardinals earned 7-0 sweeps over the Panthers and the Warriors last season. Eastern Illinois comes to Ball State with a 1-1 overall record after a 4-3 win over Saint Louis (Jan. 25) and a 7-0 loss to .Michigan State (Feb. 1). Indiana Tech's match against Ball State Saturday will be the first dual competition for the Warriors.
This season the Intercollegiate Tennis Association has put trial rules in place to shorten the matches in hopes to bring more attention to the sport and for collegiate tennis. The first change affects the doubles matches. Previously, all doubles matches were eight-game prosets and now they are six-game prosets with a 5-5 tiebreaker.
After the match Saturday, the Ball State men's tennis team will return to action Feb. 19 for a 1 p.m. match at Xavier.

The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500 | Opensource.com
The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500
The experience of growing up online will profoundly shape the workplace expectations of "Generation F" – the Facebook Generation. At a minimum, they'll expect the social environment of work to reflect the social context of the web, rather than as is currently the case, a mid-20th-century Weberian bureaucracy.
If your company hopes to attract the most creative and energetic members of Gen F, it will need to
understand these Internet-derived expectations, and then reinvent its management practices accordingly. Sure, it's a buyer's market for talent right now, but that won't always be the case—and in the future, any company that lacks a vital core of Gen F employees will soon find itself stuck in the mud.
With that in mind, I compiled a list of 12 work-relevant characteristics of online life. These are the post-bureaucratic realities that tomorrow's employees will use as yardsticks in determining whether your company is "with it" or "past it." In assembling this short list, I haven't tried to catalog every salient feature of the web's social milieu, only those that are most at odds with the legacy practices found in large companies.
1. All ideas compete on an equal footing. On the web, every idea has the chance to gain a following—or not, and no one has the power to kill off a subversive idea or squelch an embarrassing debate. Ideas gain traction based on their perceived merits, rather than on the political power of their sponsors.
2. Contribution counts for more than credentials. When you post a video to YouTube, no one asks you if you went to film school. When you write a blog, no one cares whether you have a journalism degree. Position, title, and academic degrees—none of the usual status differentiators carry much weight online. On the web, what counts is not your resume, but what you can contribute.
3. Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed. In any web forum there are some individuals who command more respect and attention than others—and have more influence as a consequence. Critically, though, these individuals haven't been appointed by some superior authority. Instead, their clout reflects the freely given approbation of their peers. On the web, authority trickles up, not down.
4. Leaders serve rather than preside. On the web, every leader is a servant leader; no one has the power to command or sanction. Credible arguments, demonstrated expertise and selfless behavior are the only levers for getting things done through other people. Forget this online, and your followers will soon abandon you.
5. Tasks are chosen, not assigned. The web is an opt-in economy. Whether contributing to a blog, working on an open source project, or sharing advice in a forum, people choose to work on the things that interest them. Everyone is an independent contractor, and everyone scratches their own itch.
6. Groups are self-defining and self-organizing. On the web, you get to choose your compatriots. In any online community, you have the freedom to link up with some individuals and ignore the rest, to share deeply with some folks and not at all with others. Just as no one can assign you a boring task, no can force you to work with dim-witted colleagues.
7. Resources get attracted, not allocated. In large organizations, resources get allocated top-down, in a politicized, Soviet-style budget wrangle. On the web, human effort flows towards ideas and projects that are attractive (and fun), and away from those that aren't. In this sense, the web is a market economy where millions of individuals get to decide, moment by moment, how to spend the precious currency of their time and attention.
8. Power comes from sharing information, not hoarding it. The web is also a gift economy. To gain influence and status, you have to give away your expertise and content. And you must do it quickly; if you don't, someone else will beat you to the punch—and garner the credit that might have been yours. Online, there are a lot of incentives to share, and few incentives to hoard.
9. Opinions compound and decisions are peer-reviewed. On the Internet, truly smart ideas rapidly gain a following no matter how disruptive they may be. The web is a near-perfect medium for aggregating the wisdom of the crowd—whether in formally organized opinion markets or in casual discussion groups. And once aggregated, the voice of the masses can be used as a battering ram to challenge the entrenched interests of institutions in the offline world.
10. Users can veto most policy decisions. As many Internet moguls have learned to their sorrow, online users are opinionated and vociferous—and will quickly attack any decision or policy change that seems contrary to the community's interests. The only way to keep users loyal is to give them a substantial say in key decisions. You may have built the community, but the users really own it.
11. Intrinsic rewards matter most. The web is a testament to the power of intrinsic rewards. Think of all the articles contributed to Wikipedia, all the open source software created, all the advice freely given—add up the hours of volunteer time and it's obvious that human beings will give generously of themselves when they're given the chance to contribute to something they actually care about. Money's great, but so is recognition and the joy of accomplishment.
12. Hackers are heroes. Large organizations tend to make life uncomfortable for activists and rabble-rousers—however constructive they may be. In contrast, online communities frequently embrace those with strong anti-authoritarian views. On the web, muckraking malcontents are frequently celebrated as champions of the Internet's democratic values—particularly if they've managed to hack a piece of code that has been interfering with what others regard as their inalienable digital rights.
These features of web-based life are written into the social DNA of Generation F—and mostly missing from the managerial DNA of the average Fortune 500 company. Yeah, there are a lot of kids looking for jobs right now, but few of them will ever feel at home in cubicleland.
So, readers, here are a couple questions: What are the web-based social values that you think are most contrary to the managerial DNA one finds inside a typical corporate giant? And how should we reinvent management to make it more consistent with these emerging online sensibilities?
Gary Hamel will talk with HCL Technologies CEO and MIX Maverick Vineet Nayar about the challenges inherent in managing Generation Y, in an exclusive webinar for MIX registered members on Oct. 4, 2010. Plan to attend "Managing Millennials: The 'Employees First, Customers Second' Experiment."

Just wanted to say, great post!
Excellent post, although some people will never 'get' it even if they read about it.
What I don't understand is why anyone would want to work for a big business at all.
I agree with German Pizarro ! Very good article.
Wow. I just left a Fortune500 company in April to come work for a small (1000x smaller ) software company and this article resonates with my experience. The big company was very structured, rigid hierarchies etc... Things like Yammer really were tearing it apart at the seams.
Just outstanding.
There was a quote a while ago (can't find it...) about publishers trading print millions for internet pennies.
The quote made it sound as if large publishing corporations had had a choice. ;-{)
Can't hold back the tide...
I enthusiastically think that most of the bold statements made by Hamel hold in many web environments, but I would not really by any means consider facebook the infecting agent of such desirable new ways of seeing things.
I agree that Facebook isn't the cause of what's happening now, but it does serve as an appropriate indicator: if you don't have an account, you aren't "in".
PS: I'm early Gen X myself, but as a long-time geek, I count myself as part of Gen F too.
I'm over 60 and the "computer guy" at a small company, where I fortunately have virtually free rein to do as I like.
But in my "spare time" I've been managing the development of a website for a small social organization (less than 600 members) run by volunteers.
I guess that because I'm a technocrat I'm more like generation F than most in my age cohort - I opted-in for for the website job.
Funnily enough, it's at this small organization that the board members are the most rigid in their views and want to tell me what to do, despite the fact that I've provided roughly $60,000 worth of advice for free to date. This has turned out to be a thankless task, and it's only my aversion to the cut-and-run mentality that keeps me at it - the old fart part of me, I guess.
I'v been working for a Fortune 500 company for 29 years, so I'm old enough to regret not having the resources internet offers now when I was younger.
Perhaps all this will lead to a better society that I hope to enjoy before I leave this dammned world.
what a great comment and how much fun to work this way. Portfolio living on its way
Very insightful synthesis about foundations of an emerging society. Two things however...
1. What you describe here, shouldn't necessarily be given the F-label. F-people usually waste their time there, while you are talking about general progress of human civilisation. Smart trick, but does not work, at least for me.
2. Last two questions are extremely important today. One is for sure, between hard-core engineers, recently MBA is being translated into 'Master of B***shit Administation'. Dry talkers must be also doers and work for authority, otherwise they will be quickly (r)ejected. The ongoing recession has accelerated the process of this kind of refinement enormously.
What is interesting is that a lot of these traits have been true in open source dev communities for many years. Social media and online communities have however vastly contributed to the spread of these values and norms
It would be nice to believe that all of this is true or will be true in the near future. It certainly is the way things "should" be.
However, no matter how much we bitch about privacy concerns at Facebook, they just find another way to mine and monetize our data. And when they take away public RSS feeds they now do it in the name of Privacy. As if. We've been assimilated.
Likewise, many companies, including my favorite Apple, do well by hoarding information. Some companies thrive by sharing, others by hoarding. As business people we need to decide which is best for us.
However, you're right that we're in the middle of a seismic shift in the way business is being done, but how it all shakes out in the end is still unwritten.
I think your point about Apple and Facebook is right-on. We see two paths emerging, that are polar opposites, and at the same time living side-by-side.
On the one hand, open source collaboration and community participation has transformed software development, news distribution (Twitter), marketing (Facebook), and even corporate rebranding and crowdsourcing (the recent Gap episode).
And yet, as an opt-in culture, by opting in, you subject yourself to the rules of the field. So, Facebook has every right to change its policy settings, since you clicked that "I agree" checkbox. The line between users "rights" and "privileges" is blurred.
And the huge success of the iPhone and the App Store proves that a very closed system, tightly controlled, can be and has been universally accepted by even the most devout disciples of open source. Who doesn't have an iPhone? But Apple is getting carried away. (App Store, stay away from my Mac.)
I think the key here is a hybrid. It's been proven that a pure democratic open source model is not ideal. But I think a corporate, maybe profit-driven core business coupled with strong community outreach and leverage (i.e. APIs) is the key to a successful business.
One more thing - Much to my disappointment, I found there is still an aversion to user testing and feedback in the old management model. Why wouldn't you let your audience tell you what they want?
Simple question, if everyone only has to work on the tasks they choose, with the people and tools they choose, how does one make sure the company is progressing in a consistent direction? How do I make sure a project can complete on time?
That's why every large successful open source project needs a few old-style corporate-sponsored contributors, to make sure the unpopular stuff gets done on time, too.
Good point, and there will always be those who are not willing to be the janitor even for a day, but I like to think that when we're collectively working toward something which we believe has value, the majority of society will be willing to pitch in and take on those less than desirable tasks.
I'd also like to say that this is one VERY interesting article!!!
Thank you :-D
This article cites many of the factors that explain the high quality typical of open source software. There's nothing new under the sun, though, and a lot of this reminds me of the advice given to Japanese businesses rebuilding after World War II. But if tying it to Facebook makes it sexier so more managers take notice, I'm all for it.
In particular, the importance of intrinsic rewards is as old as human nature. This article by Joel Spolsky and the work of writer Alfie Kohn apply to baby-boomers like me as much as to our children.
Several years ago, I read an article on open source from a major business publication. The writer reported that the reason open-source software was often better than proprietary software was that allowing other people to inspect developers' code shamed those developers into doing good work (as opposed to the shoddy work they presumably did whenever no one was looking over their shoulders). Old ways die hard, and if the only management tool you have is Theory X, then every employee looks like a sluggard.
Hi Gary,
Thank you for this list, there is strong, progressive content there. I read an academic paper not too long ago that you might really enjoy. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you give it a read...The Web as a Techno-Social System - The emergence of Web 3.0.
Beth Hahn, Buzzhaus
The article is interesting and a potential reality check although it is also "singing to the choir" in this forum. Myopic comments aside, if an opt-in society is in our future, we had better come to grips with the reality of covering the non-desireable but essential employment demands as well. Re-think the position of imported labor and how to encourage it instead of despising it or the infrastructure that is taken for granted and allows for the luxury of "opt-in" will collapse and we will have to "opt out" for fundamental survival. The old-guard formula was formed in a post-depression era when the choice to "opt-in" was not an option if you wanted to eat.

If you are an AT&T DSL or U-Verse customer and just so
happen to be an extreme data hog, your reign of terror will soon be over. DSL Reports is indicating that AT&T plans
to implement new data caps on customers starting May 2 (notices will be
sent to customers between March 18 and March 31).
The data caps will be set at 150GB for DSL customers and
250GB for U-Verse customers. As somewhat of a token gesture to customers, the
bandwidth limit can be exceeded twice over the life of your account without ill
effect. However, overage fees will be put in place upon the third time that your
monthly data allotment is exceeded.
Overage fees will be $10 for every 50GB that you go over
the limit. However, AT&T will send notices to customers at the 65, 90, and 100
percent data cap thresholds, so there should be no excuse for customers to not
know when they are approaching their monthly limits.
AT&T already
imposes data limits on its wireless plans, so this move to landline data
connections should come as no surprise. Like its wireless data caps, AT&T
cites a small minority of customers that hog a disproportionate amount of
"The top 2 percent of residential subscribers uses
about 20 percent of the bandwidth on our network," said AT&T in a
statement to Engadget.
"Just one of these high-traffic users can utilize the same amount of data
capacity as 19 typical households."
If you're used to an all-you-can-eat buffet when it comes to
online video streaming services like Netflix
or Hulu,
it looks as though those days are slowly coming to an end.
quote: You must have forgot the part about Japan being in horrible debt, having government subsidized networks and being the size of a small state. Apparently you don't understand the population distribution, or you would have not said anything so stupid in direct contradiction of it. Lastly, the buffoons are saying they should be able to use their link 24/7 full blast and I made it clear that is not possible, even in Japan. Believe it or not, making Gozilla movies and Anime doesn't imbue them with super network powers. Meanwhile, in our wonderful country, we must contend with telco subsidies, extreme long hauls (which means you have to put POPs up more frequent than Japan) and more people. Then account for the fact that less of their population is using this technology and it is only available in big cities and things get clearer. Christ, you could almost make a LAN out of Japan.

Why doesn't governor protect unborn babies?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a hypocrite. Our governor uses the safety of innocent children to try to take away law-abiding citizens' guns, while pushing legislation for late-term abortions. Who is more innocent and vulnerable than a late-term baby?
We should not be worried about assault rifles killing the innocent. All that is needed is the governor's pen.

2008 Tax Stimulus Package: Senate & House Differences
|Email Print
If you've been following the latest on the economic stimulus package (or tax stimulus package), you've probably learned that we're all waiting on the Senate to approve a bill that is similarly worded to the House's H.R. 5140, the Recovery Rebates and Economic Stimulus for the American People Act of 2008 (great bill name!). Rather than outline the Senate version and assume you'll be able to tell the difference, let me just explain the differences.
Incidentally, the latest news is that Senate Democrats can't get the 60 votes necessary to move past debate (a step known as cloture) on the bill they've outlined so a vote will likely have to wait until next week – if ever. If things stall, they will accept the House version.
Latest news is that the Senate has passed its version of the bill, explained below!
Biggest Differences:
The biggest difference is in how the rebate amount would be determined. In the Senate version, individuals would get $500, couples would get $1,000, plus $300 per child with no income cap. The House version was $600 to individuals, $1,200 to couples, plus $300 per child but included caps at $75k for singles and $150k for couples. The removal of a cap also means that two large categories overlooked by the House's plan would now get a tax rebate: retirees living on Social Security (~20M) and veterans dependent on government benefits (~250k). Those two groups are left out of the House plan because they didn't meet the income tax paying qualifications.
Some other differences are that the Senate version would extend unemployment benefits an additional 13 weeks beyond the current limit of 26 weeks (something House Democrats tried to get but dropped in negotiations) and it would drop the increase on the dollar limit of conforming mortgages insured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (This was ultimately removed from the bill the finally passed the Senate)
There's been talk about how if the Senate isn't able to reach an agreement soon, that they'll defer to the House's bill. I personally think that including retirees and veterans, those missed by the House version, is crucial but the lack of a cap starts giving a money to folks who don't really need it. While this is about stimulating the economy, I think a greater percentage of the stimulus would get spent if it were given to those on the lower end of the earning spectrum.

Was Dunlap scapegoat at WVU?
January 10, 2013
MORGANTOWN — Was West Virginia's young head football coach, Dana Holgorsen, in search of a scapegoat when he fired likable Steve Dunlap as an assistant? I don't know. I'm just asking....
So, Holgorsen is "young" and Dunlap is well liked and not young. Nice setup for a nasty attack on Holgorsen. And that business about no staff member remaining who is from WV is a hoot too. This was a petty piece in which you began saying you don't know why Dunlap was canned and then you play the game of suggesting answers. He's gone. That's life. Deal with it.

Mickey Furfari needs to be fired, as someone who grew up in Morgantown, I can tell you all about Furfari. He has been on a crusade against Oliver Luck since the very first day Luck was hired and that vendetta now has come to include Dana Holgorsen. Mickey is one of those "good ol boys types" and as long as he could feed at the trough with his buddies everything was great, but now that his access has been shut off, his response has been to besmirch those now in control. The jury is still out on Luck and Holgorsen but as a true "Mountaineer" I will support them until the verdict comes in.

In what many will find a surprising turn of events, electric car sales have plummeted this year, plunging the fledgling industry into financial turmoil. Many manufacturers and dealers are cutting back operations; some have shut down entirely. Others are calling for government action to prevent the industry from wholesale collapse.
Many dealers understandably don't want to discuss declining sales. When asked how well their cars were selling, a spokesman for Electric Vehicles, Inc, in Tampa, tersely replied "no comment", and hung up. A dealer in Texas didn't answer the phone at all. Another in California had its number disconnected.
EPower, a retailer selling electric cars in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, has only sold two cars in the past three months. President Bruce Wood tells DailyTech that, "while there are a lot of tire kickers", few will actually commit to a purchase.
MCEV, the largest electric car dealer in the Pacific Northwest, has seen sales decline to 1-2 vehicles a month, down 80% from earlier this year. Buzz Duell, General Manager of MCEV, blames not only gas prices, but the economy as a whole. "No one wants to spend money right now", he says. Not only are individual buyers cutting back, but corporate and government sales -- which make up a large percentage of MCEV's revenue -- are also being impacted.
Duell expects a recovery in sales to take at least two years.
Tim Sankey, owner of an electric car distributor in Kansas concurs. "It will take time to build a customer base", he says, "but people haven't forgotten about high gas prices". Sankey hopes for a rebound next year.
Sales declines aren't limited to the U.S. In Britain, sales of electric cars have dropped a shocking 58 percent this year. For the first ten months of 2008, a total of only 156 vehicles were sold in the country -- nearly all of those confined to London itself. The announcement came just two days after the nation's Committee on Climate Change predicted electric car sales would increase substantially this year.
Tesla Motors, maker of the all-electric Tesla Roadster, announced a round job cuts last October, and said that plans for a mass-produced high-volume electric car would be "impacted" by the grim sales outlook. Rumors suggested job cuts could be up to half the company's work force, a figure Tesla officially denied.
Larry Shriner, Chief Financial Officer of Zenn Motors, an electric car manufacturer based in Canada, says government "needs to get engaged to give the industry some momentum". Shriner doesn't necessarily favor gas price supports, but he says government needs to ensure "people stay focused" on the benefits of electric car technology.
Sales of traditional cars have also declined, but not as sharply. According to tracking company Autodata, sales are down 37 period from the same period last year.
quote: Pure electrics were never the answer. There's just too many issues that are inadequately dealt with at the current time, and that still are not even close to being solved. These include the limited range, the time it takes to fully recharge, the cost and hassle of installing specialized outlets if you want a more rapid charging time, the hassle of having to remember to plug the thing in every time you park it for the night, and the lack of high-speed charging stations to enable longer roadtrips. Hawaii is going to try to solve the charging issue by just swapping out entire battery packs at "refueling" stations, which is just crazy. Fully electric vehicles are just not even remotely viable at the present time. The way to move forward is to continue optimizing the gas/electric hybrid designs that have proven to be successful in the near term, and to move to a viable non-fossil-fuel source (hydrogen, biofuels, etc.) in the longer term. Pure electrics do not factor in at all.

Lewis University's Success program provides opportunities for academic success to students who need assistance in meeting the admission requirements of the University. The program accomplishes this by providing on-going mentoring and academic support services to students during their first year at Lewis.

The University community is committed to helping students in the Success Program achieve their goals. Professional staff and faculty mentors provide students with a solid foundation for continued academic success.
Success begins with the Bridge Program, which takes place each summer for two weeks at the end of July/beginning of August. All students who wish to be admitted to Lewis University through the Success Program must first participate in and successfully complete Bridge.
The Bridge Program is a two-week, residential, intensive college preparatory program held on the Lewis University campus. Bridge provides potential students with basic skills and strategies to assist them in making the most out of their college experience. Course work focuses on:
Admission to Lewis University through the Bridge Program is based upon academic performance and appropriate participation in Bridge social and academic activities. Attitude, motivation, skills, and self-awareness will also influence admission.

If you have a resource you would like to share with your colleagues, please send it to email@example.com so we can include it.
Accommodations are available for students with diagnosed physical, learning, psychiatric, or other disabilities upon request. Students seeking accommodations for a disability or disabling condition should contact the Director of Student Life as soon as possible upon arrival to begin the accommodation process. If the accommodations are relevant to on-campus housing, this process should begin with the first housing inquiry. Accommodations cannot be requested retroactively. Accommodations are determined and implemented on a case-by-case basis as is reasonable and appropriate and may include but are not limited to: extended time on tests and in-class assignments, note-taking assistance or access to class notes, flexible course scheduling, and/or reduced course load.
The Office of Student Life will support students in communicating with professors to arrange and implement the approved accommodations. Students with disabilities are encouraged to communicate with their faculty, but are not required to disclose specific diagnoses. Upon student request, a letter will be sent to faculty members outlining approved accommodations and beginning the dialogue toward implementation for that semester. Given the variable nature of courses at Watkins, we recommend that students meet with the Director of Student Life at the beginning of each semester to reevaluate appropriate and reasonable accommodations.
Psychological and psychiatric disorders include a broad range of diagnoses, including, bi-polar disorder, clinical depression, schizophrenia, general anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many others. Any of these conditions may be a disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, if they impact a major life activity. Typically, persons with psychological or psychiatric disorders are not identifiable by appearance, and they are not noticeably disabled. Yet, these individuals may need accommodations in order to fully participate in a post-secondary program.

Students may call the Association for Guidance, Aid, Placement and Empathy (AGAPE) at 781-3000 to speak with an intake counselor and to make arrangements for a first appointment.

City considers expansion of business district
March 7, 2013
City administration officials said Wednesday they will pursue expansion of the Central Business District to areas north of Little League Boulevard toward the Williamsport Regional Medical Center to......
I'm not necessarily against this, despite the fact I think this..once again, caters to 'tourists', it may help provide jobs also, so it has it's Pro's and Con's. Although I'm sure any jobs creating businesses in the suggested area would result in, would be minimum wage jobs so the benefit would be very minimal.
The one comment I have is..if I'm understanding this right, you're suggesting extending the Business District into and around Timberland apartments, the 'projects' and frankly..one of the more violent areas of the city in recent times. Not real sure how this is going to work out without doing something about increasing street lighting and patrolling of the areas. Businesses aren't going to want to enter into an area where there seems to be heavy drug-related crime.

However, in addition to that, the article says it's going to 'remove blighted properties'..I'm sort of hoping this includes paying some people to move out of their rundown homes and demolishing them (doesn't help for the housing shortage though). There are a lot of run-down, deteriorating homes/apartments in these areas. Again this is assuming the article and I are talking about the same areas (I'm trying to visualize). This has a lot to do with the fact that these areas near Cherry Street, Little League Blvd, & Memorial Ave, include some of the poorest citizens in the city. (not to the fault of the citizens/there's a lot of income-based housing in these areas)

Pine street between Hepburn and little league should also be included as the embroiderer shop and new medical store opened on that street between photo studio and the large red plaza with the pizza hut in it this street is not commercial,I cant see why they wouldn"t include that street, Half baked proposal to improve Susquehanna health highway to health.

ww, i agree with both of your posts. heres the only difference i want to add. adding better lighting and patrols is not going to help. in order for good people to want to hang out in THAT area, certain people in that area will have to move. the thugs, the criminals the violent people, the drug gangs all of the people that we would need the lighting and patrols for.. because frankly like you are saying, no one would feel safe, at least no one from this area that knows what goes on there will feel safe there. plus business that go there are subject to more robbery at gunpoint because of the kind of people that live there

We need a huge Outlet mall, a Barnes and Noble and a few small shops and restaurants. Change the number of people coming to town, change presence in the area with the inclusion of Outlet security (like Tannersville and the Pocono's). We will draw people and create jobs. Manufacturing may not return but new jobs are better than none.

I live on 7th St. It's a block away from a not so great neighborhood, but I get by in it. The rent is not too high because I have lived her for over 5 years. It's only a one bedroom, but my 3 year old daughter takes the bedroom; I sleep in the living room. I have not been able to move since the gas community has come into town and rent prices have gone sky high. I hope they do not expand onto 7th for my own sake. I will have to move to a more expensive apartment, which may not be as nice or big and lose my "normal" rent price.I am already a single parent, with no help or funding from welfare/food stamps/wick, I cannot afford to move.I would like to see growth of downtown,it's exciting, just not at my expense. Gas companies/workers have ruined our cost of living... there is no benefit to them unless you have leased rights or own renting property or have a store.

We need an IHOP! I'm actually being completely serious.
Biobaby, Spike, JPB, I agree with all three of you completely on all of your points. You're right bio, my purpose for wanting more lighting or even cameras, etc, would be nullified by the people they're "for" simply moving, it'd be a 'visual deterrent' but would it really work? Probably not.

We need an ihop! we need outlet stores! No what we need are real jobs, that pay a living wage. However, an iHop would be nice for all those workers.

I'm kind of new to the area and live outside Williamsport. Have only been here about 4 years. I see so much potential in the city and what has been done so far is all positive imho. The city has good bones so to speak. But one thing that I think really detracts from the area is that chain link fencing along the park area on LL BLVD. I know it's not the best of areas within the city but think some more attractive fencing would make a world of difference, not just to the city in general but also to the residents of the neighborhood.

What Williamsport needs is affordable housing and good paying jobs so people can enjoy going to these stores with their families.

I agree with you 150% Rick, (I just really want an Ihop) we need substantial paying jobs.

@ Chris as possibly 'nit picky' as some may take your comments about the chain link fence, you're actually right. I've actually always thought that. If they'd spend a little more money to actually make their projects LOOK NICE, perhaps the image of Williamsport would improve. As such, they do everything as cheap as they can and it looks like crap 90% of the time, that's the only way anything can be affordable apparently and even then..it's really not.

Note to Gabe: you will NEVER be credited with re-building Williamsport. Many have tried, tried and failed. A wort will always be a wort, wort. Williamsport needs a train station to shuttle all those folks to our illustrious hotel district, and get them to the colleges and LL games! Give us the opportunity to take advantage of ALL those businesses that Advertise on EVERY television channel you turn to... (Apparently, Williamsport businesses feel they can't compete with Garages in Hazleton, or Restaurants in Wilks Barre, or Hospitals in Scranton. OH! Sorry, that's right; if you want a train in Williamsport you have to go to Lewisburg!

So you're saying we need a "T" or subway of sorts? I could perhaps see your logic but isn't our city a little small for such an investment?
As for the two people who disgareed wth my 'substantial paying jobs' comment..so you're saying minimum wage jobs will do the trick?

A historic building in Beverly is getting some much needed repairs. The Carriage House and servant quarters behind the Goff House received extensive damage during the June 29 derecho, when a weeping willow tree fell on the structure.
"There was lots of damage to the building," said Brian Shourds, whose company is making the repairs. "Most of the second floor is missing and 70 percent of the roof is gone. Our main goal is to get the building stabilized and weather proofed before the re-enactment this weekend."
Darryl DeGripp, executive of the Beverly Heritage Center, said the repairs to the Carriage House are being funded by the insurance.

Joe Sabatino cuts green lumber for the historical restoration of the Carriage House in Beverly. Work on the building is scheduled to be completed in the next few weeks.
"The estimated cost to repair the buildings is $35,00 to $40,000," said DeGripp. "They are using green lumber that has not been dried nor treated. Time will help make the wood match with all the new construction. We will explain to visitors that the building was damaged and repaired."
DeGripp said once the repairs are completed, the Carriage House will become a blacksmith area.
"We have an AmeriCorps member that will be giving workshops in blacksmithing in the Carriage House," DeGripp said. "This will assure it is used during the spring and summer months."
DeGripp said the Carriage House was built in the 1830s and the servants' quarters building was relocated from its original location a little earlier than the 1830s. The weeping willow tree that broke off and slammed through the buildings was planted in the late 1960s.

Hmmmm. Very interesting.
Since I am still here (4:30 am), and I noticed the point from "addg - signature cane guy", I thought I'd save some of you the trouble of looking it up - or trying to find a copy of the 1999 PCA Bulletin, if you don't happen to have one.
But I am also a little confused. "addg" referred to "the cane with the yellow ring on the outside and the red dots in the center". But Nadine had origannly mentioned "the cane with the 5 red dots on the right side of the weight" - which I think was later shown to be a blue "pastry-mold" type cane with a white-over-red central cane and four white-over-red "cog" canes (hence the 5 red dots prior to the macro photos) with four yellow-rod-cluster centred white cog canes between the red ones. [Does that all make sense? Please see the extra photos that were shown on 28 Apr in page 1 of this message.]
However, there is a definite match to the Yellow-tube cane with central miniature roses that Nadine had also matched to a weight in Larry Selman's auction (see earlier comments and link).
On page 13 of the 1999 PCA Bulletin "addg" showed two canes as Figures 17 & 18 of his article, both of which have what look like the same central group of 8 miniature pink roses (1 central and 7 surrounding). Each of these is enclosed in a seemingly translucent sleeve of what looks to me to be a grey-green colour. The fig 17 example has the roses inside a white 16-point cog sleeve.
The Fig 18 one has the roses in a pale-yellow-over-white tubular sleeve, and this whole cane does appear to be identical to to the one in Nadine's weight
In the article, it is stated that the Fig 17 & 18 canes have "Bohemian pink roses".
So, where are we now with attributrion of the weight?
Nadine or Alan, or anyone else with the Clichy book ... can that yellow cane with hidden roses (or perhaps just those 8 roses as a part of another cane) be found in any of the weights in the new Clichy book? If it can, then we still have a mystery of why an apparently "Bohemian" cane would appear in a Clichy weight. If it does not appear in that book, does that leave us with a Bohemian attribution for the weight - and a misattribution of the weight in the Selman sale?
I am still looking forward to seeing the weight in September and getting the UV lights on it. But the problem here is that I have not viewed enough French or Bohemian weights to know what they "should" look like under UV. And, as far as I know, I have never UV tested a "later Clichy" weight - they might not fluoresce the same as early ones! What does the Clichy book say about the UV results for later Clichy? (The graphs and tables at the back of the book did not make a lot of sense to me when I saw them in my brief look.)
Oh my. This one is fun.

Later Clichy - hidden rose canes / UV
Reply #41 on:
September 01, 2006, 08:42:04 AM »
All good fun, as Kevin says!
I agree that the cane with the yellow outer tube in Nadineâs weight matches the one in Andy Dohanâs article on Hidden Roses. They are described as âBohemianâ roses, but it is not clear why from the article. Might the weight in which they are found be a later Clichy weight? That could explain why something similar to Clichy roses appears in it! I know that is an easy answer, but why look for complications? Andy wrote the article about 8 years ago, and a weight might well have been attributed (mistakenly) to Bohemia, given there was little or no public knowledge of the later Clichy weights. If that is the case, then the attribution of Nadineâs weight as later Clichy, and Selman Auction 32 lot 20 as Clichy are consistent.
I find it hard to believe the Selman weight is anything other than Clichy. Not that I have 100% confidence in Larryâs attributions (he still calls Old English with 1848 canes early Whitefriars, for example). It is just that the weight has so many Clichy roses! If the weight to which Andyâs article refers is undeniably Bohemian, then, as Kevin says, we have a mystery.
I have looked through the illustrations in the Clichy book, where there are some 25 images of weights assigned to the later period. I cannot see this particular yellow tube cane with the hidden roses, but the later Clichy weights do show a greater diversity of cane design and general style than the earlier weights. But there are some canes in Nadineâs weight that are very like canes shown in the later weights. The 8 cog canes with the blue valleys in the innermost ring appear in different colour ways in several weights ( blue valley and red centre, red valley red centre); and several weights include large white collapsed tube cane roses (sometimes alongside the cruder shard roses). There are 3 canes in Nadineâs weight where an orange-brown 32(?) cog ring surrounds a white 10 cog ring that in turn surrounds a white 8 cog ring. In the book, a near identical coloured 32 cog cane surrounds a thick white 6 cog ring. I do recognise that this is no proof of attribution!
Turning to the UV question: Roland Dufenne has examined only very few items, so I would be wary of drawing firm conclusions from his evidence (and I have misgivings about UV results anyway â more on that in due course!). He reports that under illumination with a lamp using a Woods filter (so using 365 nm radiation) French weights fluoresce as follows:
Baccarat : rose-violet
St Louis : rose-salmon
St Mandé : pale yellow
Clichy : cloudy green-yellow
Clichy (later period) : cloudy grey-blue.
Also he shows a Bohemian weight fluorescing a strong yellow colour. Make of all that what you will! He does give images that show the difference, but there are only 3 later Clichy items, and one each of the others.
[I will be in France for 3 weeks from Sunday, so I am sorry to say that I cannot be at the Cambridge meeting. Nor will I be able to contribute to this discussion during that period.]
Regards, Alan.

Not to add more confusion/clarity but the yellow cane illustrated in my article is from Paul Dunlop. The Bohmian attribution was Paul's. It might be helpful if Paul could be persuaded to post some pictures of other weights that he has with this yellow tube with mini roses inside.

The same type of bundled rose cane is in this weight being offered on line:
Mod: link now dead
Despite the Clichy attribution of the seller, the Sulphide and the pulled feather decoration in the same weight would lead me to Bohemian/very early 20th Century German.

World Dairy Expo to Host International Jersey Show
World Dairy Expo to Host International Jersey Show
World Dairy Expo is pleased to announce that they will be hosting the International Jersey Show in 2012. Jersey breeders have competed at World Dairy Expo for forty-five years, since the very first show in Madison in 1967. The quantity of Jersey show entries has grown steadily over time and today's competition draws in over 360 animals that compete on the colored shavings. In addition, the appeal of this breed in recent years to domestic and international Jersey enthusiasts has risen dramatically.
General Manager, Mark Clarke, shares, "This is a tribute to the Jersey dairy cattle exhibitors, as the quality of that breed show at World Dairy Expo continues to get better each year. We were quite pleased that the American Jersey Cattle Association Board of Directors raised the Expo Jersey Show to international status. It makes sense as the best Jerseys from the United States and Canada travel to Madison each fall, making it truly an international competition."
"The superior efficiency of the Jersey has captured the attention of profit-minded dairymen across the globe," says Neal Smith, Executive Secretary & Chief Executive Officer of the American Jersey Cattle Association. "By all measures-especially semen sales-demand for the Jersey is rapidly growing.
"Dairymen expect to see Jersey's best at World Dairy Expo," Smith continues. "They can because of the strong turn-out for the Jersey show from top U.S. and Canadian breeders, and because the world's best A.I. companies go all out in the trade show to feature their Jersey bull line-ups. In every respect, World Dairy Expo is an international Jersey marketplace."
In recent years the Central National Jersey show has grown to become the second largest breed show at World Dairy Expo. Over the last 20 years the Jersey show has doubled the number of animals shown. Jersey exhibitors traveled to Expo from twenty-four states and four provinces to compete in 2011.
World Dairy Expo is recognized as the largest dairy-focused event in the world. Dairy producers from around the globe are invited to experience the event that includes elite dairy cattle competition, Expo Seminars, Virtual Farm Tours, youth contests, forage and dairy product championships and over 800 exhibiting dairy companies featuring the latest in dairy research, technologies, products and services. The 2012 World Dairy Expo theme will be "Market Fresh" and will be held October 2 through October 6 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Visit www.worlddairyexpo.com or call 608/224-6455 for further details.

Fourteen regular season home games plus an invitation to the Preseason WNIT highlight the 2013-14 Stetson University women's basketball schedule, which was released on Tuesday.
The Hatters are coming off their best season in school-history, registering a school-record 24 wins, capturing their fourth Atlantic Sun Conference Championship, and earning their highest-ever seed to the NCAA Tournament (14).
The Hatters open the season on Nov. 8 at Oklahoma, a team that advanced to last year's NCAA Sweet 16. The game will be Stetson's first in the preseason WNIT, a 32-team tournament in which the Hatters will play at least three games.
"Our preseason schedule is one of the toughest that we have ever had because of the WNIT and the number of good teams that will be participating," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I really think we will be very well prepared for our conference based on our out-of-conference opponents."
Stetson will play its home opener on Nov. 18 against Indiana State. Stetson went 14-1 at home last season and is 30-2 (.938) in its last 32 games at home. The Sycamores won 18 games last year and played in the WNIT.
"Indiana State is very, very good program," Bria said. "They have done very well in a strong conference. They have done a great job building that program."
The Hatters will play four of its next five games on the road against in-state non-conference opponents, including trips to Bethune-Cookman (Nov. 20), Florida State (Nov. 29), Florida A&M (Dec. 2), and USF (Dec. 8). USF (22-11) and Florida State (23-10) each advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year.
"It's just a really hard schedule, it really is," Bria said. "It's going to be interesting with this team. I do like it because we are so young and we have so many new players. It will be good to see where we are very quickly. That is a positive for us in having a tough schedule. We will find out what we do well and what we need to improve on very early in the season."
Stetson will play four times at the Edmunds Center in December, beginning with its annual Volusia County Schoolchildren Day on Dec. 5 vs. Palm Beach Atlantic. The Hatters will also face Charlotte on Dec. 17, completing a home-and-home series that originated last year.
The 26th Annual Hatter Classic returns to the Edmunds Center on Dec. 20-21. Stetson will face Murray State and Nicholls State during the two-day event. Stetson has won each of the last three Hatter Classics.
Following the holiday break Stetson embarks on its 18-game, double round-robin conference schedule. The Hatters will play seven of their first 11 A-Sun games on the road, beginning with a Jan. 4 contest at Florida Gulf Coast. Other road games include Mercer (Jan. 12), Kennesaw State (Jan. 14), Northern Kentucky (Jan. 26), Lipscomb (Feb. 2), USC Upstate (Feb. 4), ETSU (Feb. 16), North Florida (Feb. 20), and Jacksonville (Feb. 22).
The home portion of the A-Sun schedule features USC Upstate (Jan. 9), ETSU (Jan. 11), North Florida (Jan. 23), Jacksonville (Jan. 25), Kennesaw State (Feb. 13), Mercer (Feb. 15), Northern Kentucky (Feb. 27), Lipscomb (Mar. 1), and Florida Gulf Coast (Mar. 8).

The days are getting longer and we can think of no better way to spend those extra daylight hours than shopping and strolling the North Park Farmers' Market. Come join your neighbors as they mingle with chefs, farmers and purveyors. Frenchie's Crepes and Salvadorean Pupusas are the perfect stop for an exciting after work meal when you're too tired to cook. Do like the local chefs do and create your own market pasta with help from Lisko Imports and a saute of the latest veggies from R&L Farms, maybe some grilled and sliced chicken from Da La Ranch too? Poppa's got your fresh fish for tacos, perfect when kicked up with a dollop of chipotle Bitchin' Sauce. Grab some strawberries from JR Organics, oranges from Paradise Valley and apples from Smit Orchards to make a simple fruit salad. Come and enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and endless possibilities!
