Ring slings currently on my wish list:
Avant Gradation in Viola by Psny
great tip!! ive washed my ring sling many times. does just fine but it is loud.
ill do that next time. the psling is so expensive lol.. but beautiful.
im sure u can get a nest one from your friend :-D the oopa ones nice 2. love the trim.
oh my! that's alotta money for a sling (oopa one). Maybe you get the entire beautiful room decor with it. I think that pic is cute because the sling coordinates with the deco!
I never thought about doing that! It is super loud. And I never had a problemw ith shrinkage, but I'm sure it depends what kind of material your sling is made out of. Great tips!ReplyDelete
Those are some cool ones!ReplyDelete
GIrl you and me both! That oopa! ohhh I just wanna touch it! ;-)ha ha!!
I typically use a mesh wash bag to wash my mei tai, so the straps don't get all knotted up!! Maybe that will be a good tip for people.
Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
Check this one out:
So mod!
Steph, just an FYI, you need at least 4 if not 5 yards of stretchy fabric to make your own sling. I thought 3 yards looked like a TON of fabric...no such luck, needed a lot more! I recommend getting more than you think you need and starting from there. Just thought you might like to know ;)ReplyDelete
I love the mekko sling at nest!!ReplyDelete

United Nations use sport to educate young sport leaders in Asia15 August 2013
Geneva (UNOSDP) - Touching down for the first time in Asia, the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace's Youth Leadership Programme (YLP) will start next week (22nd August 2013) in Gwangju, Republic of Korea (ROK). In partnership with Right to Play and the 2015 Gwangju Universiade Organising Committee, this Asian episode of the YLP will empower another 33 participants (17 female & 16 male) working in the field of sport for development and peace.
For 13 days, the participants and their facilitators will cover a series of themes, including leadership, education, inclusion of those with a disability, peace, conflict resolution and gender equality. The aim is to educate the participants with the skills required to promote positive social change in their communities and projects.
Highlighting the YLP's uniqueness amongst other sport for development programmes, the Gwangju venue will host three participants from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. A clear signal to the rest of the world that sporting events can be used to promote peaceful dialogue amongst conflicting nations.
UN Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace, Mr. Wilfried Lemke is delighted with the variety of nationalities that will attend the YLP in Gwangju.
"One of the features of the YLP is the ability to bring a vast selection of cultures and experiences together to the one location. The participants learn so much from each other and from the facilitators, they gain a certainness richness of information that may not be found anywhere else.

Stetson volleyball head coach Kristina Hernandez announced that four newcomers will join the team for the upcoming 2014 season.
Bailie Burkins (St. Augustine, Fla.), Shelby Connors (Avon, Ind.), Rachel Frankenberger (Virginia Beach, Va.), and Alexis Villa (Honolulu, Hawaii), along with previously announced signee Jessica Armstrong (Jupiter, Fla.) will join the Hatters, who went 18-16 overall last season.
"There is a little bit of everything among this group of athletes," Hernandez said. "We have size, athleticism and skill in a lot of different areas. They are strong competitors who come from winning backgrounds. I am excited to bring in a strong and talent group of student-athletes for next year. They will add a lot of depth and a few will be able to contribute right away for us."
Burkins, a 5-7 libero, was a three-time all-area and two-time all-county selection at Bartram Trail High School. She recorded 192 digs and 18 aces as a senior and helped lead the Bears to a district and region championship in 2012
Connors, a 6-2 middle blocker, helped lead Avon High School to back-to-back Indiana Class 4A State Championships. She tallied 157 kills and 136 blocks as a senior, setting a school record with 120 block assists.
Frankenberger, a 5-6 libero, was a two-time all-district and all-region performer at Kellam High school. She helped lead the Knights to three consecutive Virginia state championships, including an undefeated season in 2011 (34-0).
Villa, a 5-7 right side hitter and setter, will join the Hatters as a junior after two seasons at Laredo Community College in Laredo, Texas. As a sophomore, Villa collected 167 kills, 450 assists, and 276 digs and helped lead the Palominos to a 34-8 record.
Stetson will open the 2014 season at the FAU Invitational on Aug. 29-30 in Boca Raton, Fla. The Hatters full schedule will be released soon.

Submission of Law Student Articles for Publication

Each year law students collectively write a large number of papers that could become law review articles but that are never published. Most law schools require students at some point during their time in law school to research and write an academic paper of publishable quality or seminar paper. Some of these are law review notes and comments that are not selected for publication. Others of these are papers written for specific substantive classes or to fulfill research and writing requirements.
Most of these student papers - even very worthy ones - will never be published or posted online. The publishing route for law students who want to publish in a venue other than their home law journal is not clearly marked. And many law reviews simply will not accept submissions from students outside their own school. Often, the publishing opportunities for non-law review members in their home school's law review are also not well known.
The purposes of this essay are twofold. First, it offers a number of suggestions for law students (and implicitly for students in other graduate programs) who want to publish their research papers. Second, this essay presents a chart of the policies of 194 law reviews with respect to whether they will publish comments submitted by non-law review members who are students at their home school or notes, comments or articles submitted by law students from other schools.

Baby's death, gun arrest lead to discipline of Methodist Health System official
UPDATE: I've just spoken with the mother of the baby. Look for a full story in tomorrow's Dallas Morning News.
UPDATE NO. 2: The full story is online now and can be found here.
Methodist Health System's overseer of young doctors in training has been disciplined by the Texas Medical Board, which says he "failed to meet the standard of care and provided false information" to regulators.
Dr. Manuel Rivera-Alsina (right) was
in how to perform and interpret ultrasounds in high-risk pregnancies. Medical board officials said the maternal-fetal medicine specialist failed to recognize and diagnose an unborn child's congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a life-threatening condition.
His failure "left the patient with no opportunity to seek treatment for the fetus," according to a board order that Rivera-Alsina signed last month and which was made public today. "The baby died shortly after birth."
The order also says Rivera-Alsina "was arrested in 2008 after going through security at Dallas Love Field with a handgun in his briefcase," yet told the board when renewing his license in 2010 that he had not been arrested. A grand jury declined to indict him on a felony charge of carrying a weapon in a prohibited place, Dallas County records show.
Rivera-Alsina could not immediately be reached for comment today. Nor could a spokeswoman for Methodist, which operates more than two dozen hospitals and clinics in the Dallas area.

Many 2011 NBA mock drafts could be about to change drastically after Harrison Barnes meets with North Carolina ahead coach Roy Williams.
The Tar Heels' top player, along with teammates John Henson and Tyler Zeller, will meet with Williams to discuss their future.
If Barnes does in fact remain at North Carolina and return for at least his junior season, the top of the mock drafts will shake out quite differently. Depending on what other underclassmen declare themselves eligible for early entry into the 2011 NBA Draft, Barnes was projected as a top-five pick. It would have been highly unlikely that he would have fallen past that point, and he could have gone as high as the top overall selection.
He still could, for that matter.
Barnes has made no decision as far as his future plans are concerned. If he does know what he is going to do already, he has not made any announcements regarding his future.
Barnes will have a trickle-down effect whether he stays at UNC or enters the NBA. His decision will impact every team within the top few picks, as well as some of the other players who are projected to be top picks.
This could influence a few other top freshmen, sophomores and juniors to stay in school at compete for an NCAA national championship.
Or, they could all figure that they will move up a spot or two if Barnes does stay in school. Either way, it will be an interesting couple of weeks as the deadline approaches on when players have to declare for the 2011 NBA Draft.
Stay tuned for all of the 2011 NBA Draft latest news and notes.

Like his team, Drew Stafford went from frigid to sweltering. The turnaround got them off the beaten path.
Stafford, who'd been plodding through a career-worst slump, scored the opening goal and helped key a third-period rally that gave Buffalo a 4-2 victory over Boston on Friday. After getting booed off the ice following the second period, the Sabres scored three times in the third to bring life to First Niagara Center.
"It's just a character win against a team like that," Stafford said. "It always feels good to beat them, and it's definitely a statement by us to be able to come back. I think in the third period we were by far the better team."
Stafford was by far the best dressed.
During the postgame celebration, the right winger donned a dark brown fur coat emblazoned with a Sabres logo on the back. After being given the cold shoulder by many during his slump, he was the center of attention in the dressing room. As sweat poured off his face, he was ready to go back into the shadows.
"This jacket's really hot, so I kind of want to get this over with," he said with a smile to the pack of media personnel.
Stafford had every reason to celebrate after scoring the first goal, but the Sabre with the biggest drought kept it calm – on the outside, anyway.
"That's something I've been working for, and finally it's nice to get rewarded," said Stafford, who went 17 games without a goal. "I've been waiting for it to happen. Finally, it went in. It was a good feeling.
"More importantly, it's not about me in here. It was a great win by the guys, and I was glad to contribute and hopefully continue."
Stafford's first goal since March 31, 2012, gave Buffalo the lead just 3:24 in. Boston's Dougie Hamilton closed an evenly played opening period by scoring his first NHL goal with 2:04 left.
Boston took over following intermission. The Sabres fell into their typical second-period slump. They entered the night with a league-worst 24 goals allowed in the second, and Boston's Rich Peverley quickly struck for the 25th.
The Sabres went through the motions for the rest of the period and were booed off the ice at the end of it. The Bruins enjoyed a 17-6 shot edge during the 20 minutes. They could have easily skated into the second intermission with a bigger lead, but Miller made 16 of his 30 saves during the period to keep the Sabres close.
"That's what you've got to do in this league. You've got to stay there," Miller said. "The guys played a great third period. We really stepped up and did a nice job."
Tyler Myers, benched twice last weekend, knotted the game 2:03 into the third. Boston goalie Anton Khudobin stopped Jochen Hecht on a two-on-one, but Myers swooped in for the rebound.
The Sabres continued their rally and reclaimed the lead with 10:58 to go. Tyler Ennis and Stafford entered the Bruins' zone with speed. A save of Stafford's shot ended up on the stick of Christian Ehrhoff, and the defenseman ripped home the winner from the high slot to get the sellout crowd of 19,070 in a believing mood.
"The good part is we came out at the start of the third and came right after them, and we took control of the game," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said.
Myers sent Boston to just its second regulation loss – both at the hands of the 6-8-1 Sabres – when he carried the puck deep into the Bruins' zone and fed Cody Hodgson for a tap-in at the post with 8:15 left.
"Just hopefully we learn from that period and apply it to a whole game," said Miller, who returns to the ice Sunday afternoon against Pittsburgh and took extra contentment in beating the Northeast Division leaders Friday. "We recognize the rivalry. I know the guys recognize it as a measuring stick. They're one of the elite teams. We step on the ice, you want to prove you belong. That's what it comes down to for me. I think it's a shared feeling around the room."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — There was more controversy involving Jadeveon Clowney at the end of Saturday's first half, but not for the off-field reasons that followed South Carolina's star defensive end during the past month.
With Tennessee deep in its territory and less than a minute left in the first half, Clowney wrapped his arms around Tennessee running back Rajion Neal in the backfield. The ball squirted away from Neal, and it looked like Clowney had forced a fumble that would put the Gamecocks in field-goal range.
Instead, in a rare turn of events, the referee ruled Neal was trying to pitch the football to Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley. Video replay showed Neal intentionally departed from the football, though Worley was not in the area. No intentional grounding was called.
"They said he threw it forward, huh?" South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said after the game. "I've never seen that happen, but I guess he could have because he did sort of fling it. But we came out the pile with two of those fumbles that we didn't get. Usually, the guy who comes out of the pile gets it, but I guess whoever falls on it first gets it now."
Several South Carolina defensive players were slow getting off the field after time ran out in the first half. Their frustration boiled over.
Clowney said he wasn't angry, but he was blunt about his opinion on the play.
"Oh, that was a fumble. Hands down, fumble," Clowney said. "He wasn't trying to throw it. I mean, I don't know what the ref was watching, looking at, but it was a fumble. He made a bad call. ... You never want to leave it in the ref's hands anyway.
"I told myself, 'Hey, man, you've got to keep playing.' I don't ever lose my head over a referee making a bad call. Sometimes, they let me get away with some stuff. I'll line up offsides sometimes, and they'll come and tell me, 'Hey, back up.' Some of them get way with it, some of them don't."
Clowney handles Tiny Richardson
One of the most anticipated individual battles of the SEC season was Clowney against Tennessee left tackle Tiny Richardson.
Clowney's team lost the game, but he won the matchup against his all-SEC counterpart.
Clowney took advantage of the most one-on-one blocking he'd seen this season, finishing with five tackles. Each of his 2.5 tackles for loss came in the first quarter, and he was close to a couple more later in the game.
Entering Saturday, Clowney had only three tackles for loss in five games.
"I just told them, 'If you're going to block me one-on-one, you're going to pay for it,'" Clowney said. "I kept beating him (Richardson) inside. I watched him all week long (on film). I know he gives up the inside an awful lot. They waited until the start of the second half for the guard to start to help him, and they started playing with the tight end back there, which made me have to work a lot more than I did the first half."
Targeting rule
Without freshman Chaz Elder (concussion), USC was thin on the depth chart at safety entering Saturday. In the first quarter, it lost even more depth.
Junior Kadetrix Marcus was ejected from the game for a targeting penalty on a Tennessee receiver. Afterward, defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward defended his player.
Was the hit clean?
"Of course," Ward said. "I mean, however you teach tackling, but it's in the view of the officials."
Ward said the hit was exactly how players are taught to tackle in practice.
"We can't do anything about the penalty that they threw earlier against JJ," Ward said, referring to Marcus' nickname. "I don't know what you do. I don't know how (else) you teach tackling."
Quarles injures knee
Defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles ended the game on crutches because of a knee injury.
The severity was unknown after the game.
"The trainers have to tell us what the situation is," Ward said. "I saw him in the locker room there a second ago. It didn't look good, but I don't know."

Test your schizophrenia knowledge

The result of bad parenting tactics
A serious medical illness that interferes with a person's ability to interpret reality
Split personality disorder
Download Report
Schizophrenia does not make me any less of a person than anyone else. It does not mean my life is over.
I think the most important thing is to accept the disorder like any other medical disorder; that treatment works and that recovery is not only possible, but probable as well.
I think the most important thing is that family, friends, and the public should have awareness and understanding of schizophrenia.
It is a disease that can destroy your life. Families can and do turn their backs on you. The public doesn't care. Your government doesn't care. No one cares.
If there is a hell, having this illness has got to be the greater part of hell's acreage.
I want people to know that I am just as intelligent and compassionate as any other person and that I am not a danger to them.
My health insurance has a co-pay of 50% for mental health services but only $10 for physical health services. I can't move out
of my parent's house because it costs me $350 a month just for therapy, the psychiatrist, and medication.
It is biological and could happen to anyone. As a caregiver, you need to gather your strength from the love you have for the person you are caring for.
Prepare to be challenged by the disease, the person, and the system.
It is easy to burn out when there is no support, understanding for yourself or your child. Compassion is essential for what they are going through.
Knowledge about the illness and the medications are the only thing that helps cope with symptoms.
Caring for a family member is a life-changing and never-ending process. You must remain ever vigilant and expect difficulties in accessing necessary and appropriate services. You must also take care of yourself.
The public needs to fully understand schizophrenia first before people can begin to grasp the toll this illness takes on the individual affected by this disease and the
physical and mental strain experienced by family members...

Question About Linux Bootloader
I recently just filled up my hard drive and I am thinking of buying a new external hard drive. However, in the past I had a bad experience with the Linux boot loader because I wiped out Linux off my second internal hard drive then kept getting an error code when I tried booting to Windows regularly. It took me some time to realiza that all i had to do was format the MBR. So my question is if my booting will be affected if I put Linux on my new external hard drive that I might disconnect from time to time being that it is USB? Will I be able to boot to windows normally if my hard drive is not connected to the computer or will I get an error code from the boot loader?
Re: Question About Linux Bootloader
You will be able to boot up into grub and then you must select windows to boot up.

SEC542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking
- Contents | Schedule | Additional Info
- Instructor: Seth Misenar
This course taught me to truly focus on the methodology while performing a pen test. During the Capture the Flag event, I realized how much time can be wasted if you fail to respect your methodology.

Assess Your Web Apps in Depth
Web applications are a major point of vulnerability in organizations today. Web app holes have resulted in the theft of millions of credit cards, major financial and reputational damage for hundreds of enterprises, and even the compromise of thousands of browsing machines that visited Web sites altered by attackers. In this intermediate to advanced level class, you'll learn the art of exploiting Web applications so you can find flaws in your enterprise's Web apps before the bad guys do. Through detailed, hands-on exercises and training from a seasoned professional, you will be taught the four-step process for Web application penetration testing. You will inject SQL into back-end databases, learning how attackers exfiltrate sensitive data. You will utilize cross-site scripting attacks to dominate a target infrastructure in our unique hands-on laboratory environment. And you will explore various other Web app vulnerabilities in-depth with tried-and-true techniques for finding them using a structured testing regimen. You will learn the tools and methods of the attacker, so that you can be a powerful defender.
On day one, we will study the attacker's view of the Web as well as learn an attack methodology and how the pen-tester uses JavaScript within the test. On day two, we will study the art of reconnaissance, specifically targeted to Web applications. We will also examine the mapping phase as we interact with a real application to determine its internal structure. During day three we will continue our test by starting the discovery phase using the information we gathered on day two. We will focus on application/server-side discovery. On day four we will continue discovery, focusing on client-side portions of the application, such as Flash objects and Java applets. On day five, we will move into the final stage of exploitation. Students will use advanced exploitation methods to gain further access within the application. Day six will be a Capture the Flag event where the students will be able to use the methodology and techniques explored during class to find and exploit the vulnerabilities within an intranet site.
Throughout the class, you will learn the context behind the attacks so that you intuitively understand the real-life applications of our exploitation. In the end, you will be able to assess your own organization's Web applications to find some of the most common and damaging Web application vulnerabilities today.
By knowing your enemy, you can defeat your enemy. General security practitioners, as well as Web site designers, architects, and developers, will benefit from learning the practical art of Web application penetration testing in this class.
|Course Contents
|SEC542.1: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: The Attacker's View of the Web
|Seth Misenar
Mon Apr 7th, 2014
Understanding the attacker's perspective is key to successful Web application penetration testing. We will begin by thoroughly examining Web technology, including protocols, languages, clients, and server architectures, from the attacker's perspective. In this portion of the class we will also examine different authentication systems, including Basic, Digest, Forms, and Windows Integrated authentication, and discuss how servers use them and how attackers abuse them.
Following this, we will discuss the four steps that make up our process for conducting Web application penetration tests: reconnaissance, mapping, discovery and exploitation. During the next few days, we will delve into each of these steps more deeply. For the first day, we will review the fundamental principles of each phase and discuss how we will use them together as a cyclical attack process. Next, we will cover the types of penetration testing and what pieces need to be part of the report. As the final part of the day, we will explore and learn JavaScript from an attacker's perspective.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC542.2: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Reconnaissance and Mapping
|Seth Misenar
Tue Apr 8th, 2014
On the second day we will start the actual penetration testing process, beginning with the reconnaissance and mapping phases. Reconnaissance includes gathering publicly available information regarding the target application and organization, identifying the machines which support our target application, and building a profile of each server, including operating system, specific software, and configuration. Our discussion will be augmented by practical, hands-on exercises in which we conduct reconnaissance against an in-class target.
In the mapping phase, we will build a "map" or diagram of the application. In order to do this, we identify the components, analyze the relationship between them, and determine how the pieces work together. We will specifically consider how the session management system works within an application. This will help us identify potential vulnerabilities during the next sections.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC542.3: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Discovery
|Seth Misenar
Wed Apr 9th, 2014
In this section, we will continue to explore our methodology with the discovery phase. We will build upon the information started yesterday, exploring methods to find and verify vulnerabilities within the application. The students will also begin to explore the interactions between the various vulnerabilities.
Manual testing techniques for vulnerability discovery will be the primary approach taken in Day 3. To facilitate manual testing, we kick off the day with an introduction and hands-on exercise with Python.
In addition to custom scripts, major emphasis will be placed on developing in-depth knowledge of interception proxies for web application vulnerability discovery. A highlight of the day will be spending significant time working with both traditional and blind SQL Injection flaws.
Throughout the discovery phase, we will explore both manual and automated methods of discovering vulnerabilities within applications and discuss the circumstances under which each is appropriate.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC542.4: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Discovery Continued
|Seth Misenar
Thu Apr 10th, 2014
On day four, students will continue exploring the discovery phase of the methodology. We will cover methods to discover key vulnerabilities within web applications such as Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery. Manual discovery methods will be employed during hands-on exercises.
The day's content will also include a detailed discussion of AJAX in which we will explore how AJAX enlarges the attack surface that penetration testers leverage. We will also explore how AJAX is affected by the vulnerabilities already explored.
After detailing the various vulnerabilities and manual discovery methods, Day 4 will conclude with review of various automated web application vulnerability scanners, such as Skipfish and w3af, to complement our previous coverage of the Burp Suite.
By the end of Day 4, students will be well prepared to move into the exploitation phase of the methodology on Day 5.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC542.5: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Exploitation
|Seth Misenar
Fri Apr 11th, 2014
On the fifth day we will launch actual exploits against real-world applications. In this component, we will build upon the previous three steps, expanding our foothold within the application and extending that to the network on which it resides. As penetration testers, we will specifically focus on ways that we can leverage previously discovered vulnerabilities to gain further access, highlighting the cyclical nature of our four-step attack methodology.
During our exploitation, we will use tools such as the Burp Suite and Paros Proxy to assist us in crafting exploits against real-world applications like Wordpress and AWStats. We will launch an SQL injection attack against Wordpress, intercepting real transactions and modifying them. We will use Cross-Site Scripting attacks against phpMyAdmin and phpBB to steal cookies and sessions from other users.
We are also going to explore the use of attack frameworks, such as AttackAPI and BeEF. We will discuss how the frameworks can assist us in our testing process, gaining access to browser history, port scanning internal networks, and searching for other vulnerable Web applications through zombie browsers.
We will also explore multiple exploit attacks. This is where the student will build complex attack series to gain much greater access within the Web applications. By fully uncovering vulnerabilities within applications using the same resources as attackers, we can provide organizations with the best assessment possible.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC542.6: Web Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking: Capture the Flag
|Seth Misenar
Sat Apr 12th, 2014
During day six of the class students will be placed on a network and given the opportunity to complete an entire penetration test. The goal of this capture the flag event is for the students to explore the techniques, tools, and methodology they have learned over the last five days. They will be able to use these ideas and methods against a realistic intranet application. At the end of the day, they will provide a verbal report of the findings and methodology they followed to complete the test.
Students will be provided with a virtual machine that contains the SamuraiWTF Web penetration testing environment. They will be able to use this both in the class and after leaving and returning to their normal jobs.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|Additional Information
|Laptop Required

Philippe Georgel, Ph.D., a professor in Marshall's Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program Cancer Biology Research Cluster, was invited to speak at the recent Asilomar Chromatin and Chromosomes Conference, which was held on December 16th in Pacific Grove, CA. He presented entirely new research, for which he designed most of the experimental procedure, and was performed by Dr. Ata Abbas, a postdoctoral fellow in his laboratory.
The study reports the positive effect of omega-3 fatty acid treatment on various breast cancer cell lines. The omega-3 treatment modified the profile of expression of Human Leukocyte Antigen G (HLA-G), a molecule important in the immune evasion properties displayed by numerous types of cancerous cells. The treated cells display an HLA-G expression profile that resembles that of normal epithelial breast cells as well as a reduced ability to migrate (a property that can be indicative of lower metastatic abilities).
When asked what this research means to "non-scientists," Georgel good-naturedly responded, "Our research is one additional piece of evidence to support the role of diet in preventing and/or helping find a cure for breast cancer (as well as other cancer types). An increase in omega-3 fatty acid (FA) in our regular diet can be easily achieved by substituting corn oil (rich in omega-6 FA and poor in omega-3 FA) with canola oil (rich in omega-3 FA and low in omega-6 FA), and also by eating more fish (omega-3-FA-rich)."
This project will be expanded to include the analysis of HLA-G expression profile in tissues from breast cancer patients' biopsies and a small scale clinical trial involving daily consumption of omega-3 fatty acids (in collaboration with Dr. Rajesh Sehgal, Medical Oncologist at the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center). The results will be used as preliminary material for a submission to the National Institutes of Health and/or the Department of Defense.

The National Court Reporters Association, the country's leading organization representing stenographic court reporters and broadcast captioners, has announced that February 17-23 has been deemed National Court Reporting and Captioning Week. The awareness week pulls together a nationwide effort to highlight the contributions of stenographic court reporters and captioners to society and to showcase the career opportunities that exist in the court reporting and captioning fields.
AWR & Associates, a Daniel Island based firm covering all ranges of litigation, is planning to get involved with National Court Reporting and Captioning Week by joining the grassroots efforts to promote the profession and educate local communities about the value stenographic skills bring to today's marketplace.
Bill Roberts, founder and Chief Executive Officer of AWR has been a stenographic court reporter for over 30 years and is a graduate of The Stenotype Institute of Jacksonville. He has been a member of NCRA for 30 years and has earned nationally recognized credentials including the Certificate of Merit, Certified Realtime Reporter, Registered Professional Reporter, and the Certified Manager of Reporting Services. He lives in Mount Pleasant, SC with his wife, Karen Roberts, also a court reporter and manager with AWR, and his two sons, Michael and Andrew Roberts. Michael is currently enrolled at the University of South Carolina School of Business and College of Court Reporting. His son, David C. Roberts, is the Chief Operating Officer of AWR and also has been practicing as a court reporter for over 10 years.
"As highly technical career options, stenographic court reporting and captioning require an intricate blend of skill and knowledge," said Tami Smith, president of NCRA and a court reporter for the 37th Circuit Court in Battle Creek, Mich. "National Court Reporting and Captioning Week not only celebrates and highlights the invaluable contributions that court reporters make to the legal and deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, it also showcases the tremendous career opportunities that are available through stenographic court reporting and captioning."
National Court Reporting and Captioning Week will be marked with promotional events and marketing nationwide, including a grassroots social media campaign, presentations at high schools across the country about court reporting and captioning career opportunities and community demonstrations such as producing transcripts of veterans' oral histories. "For 10 years, members of the National Court Reporters Association have volunteered their time and professional skills to capture the oral histories of America's disabled veterans,"said B.J. Shorak, deputy executive director of the National Court Reporters Foundation. "These transcripts—thousands of important histories that would have otherwise been lost—are preserved at the Library of Congress thanks to the skill and dedication of court reporters and captioners."
Stenographic skills translate to a multitude of career options—including court reporting, live-event captioning for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, captioning for broadcast and specialized videography—and the strong marketplace demand means court reporting offers an abundance of long-term career opportunities. "Court reporting is consistently ranked as one of the top career options as it offers both flexibility and significant income potential," notes Jim Cudahy, CEO and executive director of NCRA. "Court reporters and captioners are able to begin a career without a traditional four-year college degree, and these highly trained professionals experience the continuous professional growth associated with an in-demand career."
For more information, visit NCRA.org. Career information about the court reporting profession—one of the leading career options that do not require a four-year degree—can be found at CareersInCourtReporting.com.

LEWISTOWN - The United Way of Mifflin-Juniata has raised $347,270 of its $600,000 goal during the campaign that began on Sept. 19 and runs until March 15.
The Mifflin-Juniata Special Needs Center is one of the agencies that benefits from working with the United Way. Executive Director Beth Zong explains how partnering with the United Way has served the Mifflin-Juniata Special Needs Center:
"The words accept, support and empower hold a lot of meaning for the Mifflin-Juniata Special Needs Center Inc. We envision a community where personal dignity is honored, diversity is embraced and full inclusion for persons with disabilities is promoted in all aspects of life," Zong said. "To this end, our mission is to accept people for who they are, advocate for people with disabilities, support them and their families with essential services and empower them to develop their abilities and potential. Our local United Way of Mifflin-Juniata is an integral partner in helping us to actualize this vision.
Article Photos
"Community Connections is a program with an array of social, recreational and training activities designed to enhance the lives of children, youth and adults with disabilities and the families who support them by helping them be more connected to the community in which they live," Zong continued. "This often involves participating in community activities and events or learning to volunteer and give back to the community. Over 500 individual lives were touched by our Community Connections program in the past year. This is testament to the fact that a little financial support can go a long way and each individual donor to the United Way does have an impact on what we do.
"We realize that these are tough economic times for everyone and truly appreciate the ongoing support of our agency through the United Way," Zong said. "Our goal is to Live United and not lose sight of why we do what we do. Mifflin-Juniata Special Needs Center Inc. values our local United Way partnership. We remain committed to whatever it takes to support some of the most vulnerable citizens of our community."

This one qualifies as a good old-fashioned blowout.
Trailing by just four at the end of the first half the Berkeley Stags watched as Hilton Head went on a 24-4 run in the third quarter to win going away 63-47 to wrap up the first half of Region 8AAA play Friday night at BHS.
The Stags entered the second half of region play with a 3-3 record, tied for second place in the region and well in the hunt for a post-season playoff spot. Orangeburg-Wilkinson leads Region 8AAA with a 5-1 mark. With round two of the region schedule set to begin this week, look for a mad scramble to ensue for the available playoff spots.
"All of our games have been competitive," said BHS Coach Joe Wallace, "And we have to stay focused and not slip up as we play these teams again. I'm hoping that our tough non-region schedule has prepared us to make a good run."
The Stags didn't play a bad game against the visiting Sea Hawks, jumping out to a quick 8-2 lead on a 3-pointer by Dee Harley, a layup by Tairi Major and another 3-pointer by Ormaine Thomas. Berkeley was just a point behind, 12-11, at the end of the first quarter and trailing by a point 17-16 as the first half was about to conclude.
With 3.8 seconds remaining on the clock Sea Hawks point guard Jason Coltrane took an inbounds pass in front of the scorer's table, took two dribbles and launched a desperation shot from midcourt as the buzzer sounded.
Coltrane drained the 45-footer off the glass to put Hilton Head up by four 20-16, and drove the dagger into the heart of the Stags.
In the third quarter Coltrane picked up where he left off with the buzzer-beater, nailing a pair of treys to put Hilton Head up 29-18 and the doors were blown off the barn.
The Sea Hawks put together a 24-4 run in the third quarter to put the game away.
Berkeley caught fire putting up 24 points in the final frame but could only pull to within 11 points going into the game's final minute.
Coltrane led all scorers with 16 points, 12 of them coming off four three-pointers. Michael Julian chipped in 12 points to help lead the Sea Hawks.
Dee Harley and Ormaine Thomas popped in 12 points apiece to lead the Stags.
Stags 53, Stall 45
Berkeley helped cement its place in the playoff scramble with a big road win on Jan. 22, 53-45 against Stall.
The two teams traded leads back and forth throughout the first half with neither squad able to pull away by more than five points. Stall took a narrow 31-30 lead into the locker room.
"At halftime we really stressed the importance of getting stops on defense," Wallace said. "The guys bought in to it and we started to build and keep our lead."
Wallace praised the Warriors coached by former Berkeley assistant Steve Guerry: "They have a good team and they are very rangy players. We just had to stay fundamentally sound on both ends of the court."
The emergence of guard Dee Harley as a consistent outside scoring threat continued against Stall. Harley led all scorers with a game-high 17 points.
"He seems more relaxed and confident as a ball player," Wallace said. "Harley has really emerged as a scoring threat along with Ormaine Thomas and D'Andre Richardson."
Richardson pitched in 13 points and Thomas added nine in the win.
"All of our success is built around what we do as a team," the coach said. "When we play great team defense, it turns into great offense with everyone sharing the basketball and setting each other up. Our team chemistry is continuing to get better."
The Stags tip off against Hanahan on Tuesday. The girls game begins at 6:30 p.m.

|Site-Selective Ionization in Nanoclusters Affects Subsequent Fragmentation
Understanding charge-transfer processes at the atomic level of nanoscale systems is of the utmost importance for designing nanodevices based on quantum-dot structures, nanotubes, or two-dimensional graphene sheets. Researchers from Western Michigan University, Berkeley Lab, and other international research facilities investigated charge-transfer processes and subsequent ion fragmentation dynamics in nanoclusters composed of argon (Ar) shells and xenon (Xe) cores. The clusters were site-selectively ionized (i.e, ionization took place either in the xenon core or in the argon shell). Using a high-resolution photoelectron–ion coincidence technique at ALS Beamlines 10.0.1 and 11.0.2, the researchers concluded that charge-transfer processes and fragmentation dynamics are strongly influenced by the environment of the initially ionized atoms.
Clusters composed of two atoms to hundreds of thousand of atoms are easy to produce and serve as ideal test objects for the investigation of more complex samples. The physical and chemical properties of these nanometer-sized spheres can easily be tailored by varying composition and size, making them useful in a multitude of scientific disciplines. Varying composition enables the investigation of charge migration and fragmentation dynamics in a heterogeneous nanosample. Varying size allows the study of how physical and chemical properties change in going from a single atom to a macroscopic crystal.
For this research, clusters consisting of a Xe core, or bulk, surrounded by an Ar shell were used to investigate charge-transfer processes and subsequent fragmentation dynamics resulting from site-selective ionization within different parts of a cluster. The heterogeneous clusters were produced by a supersonic co-expansion of a 2% Xe in Ar gas mixture through a nozzle into the experimental vacuum chamber.
Due to the different photoionization probabilities of Ar and Xe, site-selective ionization of either the Ar shell or the Xe bulk was possible. Two excitation photon energies, 110 eV and 291.2 eV, were chosen for the reported measurements. Different numbers of neighboring atoms caused differences in the electron binding energies of a cluster's bulk, interface, and surface. Therefore, the kinetic energy spectrum shows a separation between the cluster and residual gas (atom) peaks and even among the corresponding surface, interface, and bulk peaks. The fragmentation's dependence on the site of initial photoionization can be determined by measuring the fragment ions in coincidence with the cluster photoelectrons. To trace the dependence of the charge-transfer process and fragmentation dynamics to the ionization site, the researchers set filters on the different cluster fragments and analyzed the corresponding coincident electron spectra.
The results showed that the fragmentation scenario of a nanosystem such as Ar–Xe clusters depends heavily on the site of the initial ionization (surface, interface, bulk). The specific environment of the ionized atom influences the decay and charge localization times. Surprisingly, coincidences with Ar 2p electrons measured after surface ionization did not show fragmentation channels as distinct as those from coincidences with Xe 4d electrons measured after ionization of the interface or bulk. The latter clearly shows preferred decay channels. After surface ionization, the system fragments very fast in a broad range of decay channels. Fragmentation takes longer, however, after bulk ionization due to inner rearrangement favoring a small number of energetically dominant decay channels. Additionally, strong hints for a very effective charge transfer from ionized Ar atoms to surrounding Xe atoms were measured, which was attributed to the electron transfer mediated decay (ETMD) mechanism.
To summarize, after inner-shell photoionization, charge is transferred to neighboring atoms; subsequent charge localization depends on the site of ionization. Ionizing the cluster bulk leads to more distinct fragmentation channels than surface ionization. This is attributed to different electronic decay, charge localization, and fragmentation times, leading researchers to conclude that charge-transfer processes and fragmentation dynamics are strongly influenced by the environment of the initially ionized atom.

Just curious as to whether there are any other moms here (particularly FTMs), who just don't care about or can't be bothered with a lot of the "frilly" stuff that seems to be involved in motherhood?
I just don't give a crap about coming up with some kind of creative/clever pregnancy announcement, or doing anything resembling a gender reveal other than saying "it's a boy" when people ask. I'm not interested in doing a maternity shoot, highly doubt I'll do any kind of birth announcement that involves Photoshop or the US Postal Service, and I sure as hell won't be scrapbooking.
Am I the only one who is very happy to be pregnant and looking forward to being a mom, but is not the least bit interested in the vast majority of "mommy" type stuff?

Still using a creaky old swing-arm box-type hydrometer? Or a delicate glass hydrometer that shatters at a moment's notice?
You know the score: Constant washes in vinegar to keep them working properly: fill to the top / line, poke with stick, water goes everywhere... hope for the best.
Here's me measuring the salinity of my GSP tank... 1.021. Or thereabouts, thanks to the helpfully blunt pointer (NOT). A bit on the low side for my liking, as my GSPs are in full saltwater.
Look at the mess!
There is a better way: Refractometers. These things are just as they sound -- they use a glass prism to refract light. The angle of refraction depends on the salinity of the sample.
Look through the eyepiece to see scales of salinity and specific gravity.
(it is much clearer than this in real life - very hard to get a shot of the scale!)
Let's test the GSP tank again. Very simple to use: Put a few drops on the glass, and close the cover:
Look through the eyepiece:
1.026 - 1.027! Perfect!
Compare the reading: 0.006 difference! that's a huge difference for any marine or brackish tank. Do you have a brackish tank where you are varying the salinity for F-8s or GSPs? Would you be shocked to know that your SG of 1.018 could really be 1.024? Or 1.012?
Now, refractometers, if not calibrated properly, can be as unreliable as hydrometers... but in general, if looked after properly, they are more accurate.... and, as you can see, they are much, much easier to use. IN addition, on auto-temperature compensation refractometers (which is what you're likely to find), temperature calibration is not an issue.
Looking for one more thing to buy for your tank? Look no longer! In my opinion, a refractometer is about the best investment you can make. Since I purchased this about a year ago, I have been much more confident about the salinity of my tanks, and I will never use a swing-arm hydrometer again. And it's a cheap investment, at well under $50.

Chrissy Lance, of Rittman, Ohio, isn't shy about her body, or her strong desire for breast enhancement surgery, so she took her campaign to the street and started panhandling to raise the desperately needed cash.
The 37-year-old single mother and college student, who dons a bikini, sits on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and holds up a sign that reads "Not homeless. Need boobs," told the Akron Beacon Journal that she hopes to raise $5,000 for the surgery to "help improve her self-esteem."
"I see people panhandling every day, so why not panhandle for boobs," she said. "It's original. I've never seen anybody do it."
While some area residents aren't pleased with Lance's efforts saying she "is out of her mind," others told the newspaper that "at least she is honest."
Lance told WKYC-TV that although she has only raised about $90 toward her goal so far, she has the required license to panhandle in the city, and has no plans to stop fundraising until she collects enough for the procedure.
There's no word on whether she will take her crusade to the Web or seek support from a growing legion of fans overseas that have followed her plight in the media.

I have a hair appointment scheduled for next week and can't decide what I want to do with my hair! This is the longest I've gone in a while without a trim or cut. I've really enjoyed it short, but was thinking about growing it longer again and maybe doing some major bangs. I totally like the bangs in this picture. Is it me? I don't really want to do the wispy or piece-y kind. I want the bold, blunt, thick kind. The side swept bangs don't work on me because I end up just tucking them and then it looks like I don't have bangs at all.
I am always on the fence if I want to do bangs or not, then will see someone with really cute bangs. And I don't mind being daring and going for it, I'm adventurous like that.
Usually I just tell my stylist to do whatever she wants but she likes a little guidance from me, too. I like having my hair all one length with no bangs, but it's starting to drive me nutty having so much hair in my face lately, and I can't get a good pony tail without wearing a headband, too. Oh, the trials in life!
P.S. Hubby has just chimed in that he doesn't know about this bang thing. When he thinks of bangs, all he can think of is Kathy Griffin "and that's not good."

Should Penn State remove the statue of Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium?
I don't know.
How's that for a strong opinion?
The nation appears split with an ESPN poll with nearly 200,000 votes by Saturday running 52 percent in favor of removal and 48 against. Local polls, including one on altoonamirror.com, favor keeping it up.
Either way, instead of a hasty decision, which the Board of Trustees was accused of when it fired Paterno by phone on Nov. 9 - something that's now easier to justify in the wake of the Freeh report - everyone would be wise to calm down a tad and think it through until the pendulum-swinging emotions level out.
There will be enough regret if it ends up being taken down. That regret should not be magnified because the decision was rushed.
Paterno meant and represented many things to many people - those who filled Beaver Stadium and made it a special place - and he was beloved for most of his 60-plus year tenure.
That's evidenced by those who continue to visit and take pictures with the statue and defend him in conversation, talk shows, letters and Internet comment banter.
National media screaming for a decapitation of the statue may never have contributed a nickel of the billions Paterno raised for Penn State.
Despite all his warts - his mishandling of Jerry Sandusky, his penchant for controlling everyone around him, his preference for running his program in secrecy - there was, is and probably always will be an unconditional love for him among the Nittany Nation diehards.
That's indisputable, especially among most of the thousands of former players.
Now there's no question his approval rating has taken a major and deserved hit with the disclosures in the Freeh report - that he did in fact know about the 1998 police investigation, even though he previously lied about it, including to the grand jury, by saying he didn't.
And if you think it's the first lie he told, well, think what you want.
Paterno often talked about a team defining itself by how it performed "in the clutch," and yet when it came time for him to perform "in the clutch," he took a knee, covered up or at least did not aggressively demand the pursuit of precious information that could have spared innocent child victims.
That is impossible to condone and difficult to forgive.
It clearly cost Paterno the chance to have Beaver Stadium renamed in his honor, something many lobbied for over the past few years.
Despite his flawed legacy of not doing enough to stop Sandusky and for staying on the job way too long, it was not Paterno in the showers with Second Mile children, and there is still plenty of information that hasn't come out.
With respect to Louie Freeh, the former FBI director's group did not speak with four of the five principals in the case - Paterno, Mike McQueary (at the request of the Attorney General's office), and Tim Curley and Gary Schultz (because their cases are pending in court).
Maybe that testimony in the upcoming court cases will make it look even worse for Paterno, if that's possible. And if so, maybe at that point it will be obvious the statue will have to be removed.
It's also not unreasonable to consider that the statue area should be edited to recognize Paterno for being college football's all-time winningest coach and change or delete the "coach, teacher and humanitarian" tribute.
There are no easy answers.
Leave the statue up, and it may be insensitive to child-abuse victims and appear Penn State still has misplaced priorities.
Take it down and run the risk of offending a significant portion of the fan base.
So let this open wound heal for a while, continue to gauge public opinion and allow more of the court cases play out - even if it means the statue is still up in seven weeks when the season mercifully opens on Sept. 1.

Take 30: Malachy McCourt to hold court Friday in Fredonia, N.Y.
With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, it'll be good to mark the occasion with an Irish toast and a bit of song. But the best way would be with a story, which is where Malachy McCourt comes in.
McCourt, 81, will spin some Irish yarns Friday at the Fredonia Opera House, starting at 7:30 p.m. Long known as one of New York City's best storytellers, he grew up with his three brothers, including Frank, the best-selling author of "Angela's Ashes," in Limerick, Ireland.
Frank McCourt, one year older than Malachy, won worldwide fame at the age of 66 for his prizewinning book. Yet it was Malachy McCourt who became famous at a much earlier age when he ran one of Manhattan's most popular Irish pubs.
Popular film and stage actors of the time, including Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris and Robert Mitchum, were regulars at Malachy's bar. And McCourt made dozens of appearances on TV talk shows hosted by Jack Paar and Merv Griffin.
"My goal was to be an actor, and I had some parts on Broadway and on TV," he said.
But McCourt's great skill was telling stories, and he was so entertaining that several backers put up the money for his bar.
"I played it to the hilt, but that wasn't really me," he said.
He refers to Frank, who died in 2009 at the age of 78, as "the scholar of the family," and it's clear the brothers enjoyed a close relationship. "Frank, my brother Alfie and I all lived on New York's west side, and would get together often," he said.
Malachy and Frank McCourt even teamed up to write a play, "A Couple of Blaguards," which they performed around the city.
"There was quite a bit about our childhood, which was dirt poor," he said. "One night we were in the middle of the play when my mother, who was visiting from Ireland and in the crowd, stood up and screamed, 'That's not the way it was at all!' Frank and I invited her onstage to give her account, but she sniffed, 'I wouldn't lower myself to join the likes of you two.'
"The crowd roared with laughter, thinking it was all part of the show," McCourt said.
After the publication of "Angela's Ashes," Malachy McCourt was approached by a publisher who offered him a $600,000 advance to write his own memoir.
He called it "A Monk Swimming," which was his childlike understanding of a passage in the "Hail Mary" prayer -- "amongst women." Though hardly in the class of his brother's books, "A Monk Swimming" also became a big best-seller. He also wrote two other engaging books.
How could Malachy McCourt miss with stories about smuggling gold overseas, or leading a group of bar patrons into Richard Harris' hotel room to catch him as he emerged naked from the shower? It was payback after the actor left McCourt in jail overnight after McCourt was arrested for swimming naked in Harris' pool after midnight.
"I've had a full life, with two wives and five children," he said. He quit drinking two decades ago and even dabbled in politics, running for governor in 2006 on the Green Party ticket.
"My slogan was: 'Don't waste your vote. Give it to me.' And I convinced 40,000 New Yorkers to do just that," he said.
Listening to him, you believe that with that brogue and gift of gab, he could charm the snakes from the ground -- as another famous Irish storyteller did many years before. Don't miss his show in Fredonia.

Peoples Natural Gas customers will pay more for their natural gas beginning today.
The cost recovery rate, about 75 percent of a customer's bill, is rising for the second consecutive quarter. The rate will increase from $3.98 per thousand cubic feet to $4.62 per thousand cubic feet, an increase of 64 cents, said Joe Gregorini, vice president of rates and regulatory affairs.
The average residential customer who uses 92,000 cubic feet a year, or 7.6 mcf a month, will see his overall bill increase from $72.51 to $77.82, an increase of 7.3 percent, Gregorini said.
"There has been a slight uptick in prices. It [price] is still low by historical standards but a slight increase," Gregorini said.
Customers are paying less than they did a year ago.
"Last January the cost recovery rate was $5.16 and the average customer was paying $79.65 a month. Despite an increase, it is lower than what customers paid a year ago," Gregorini said.
Peoples' customers also pay a delivery rate of $3.66 per mcf.
Gregorini said he isn't very good at predicting future prices.
"With Marcellus Shale, we still have a strong supply. Overall, the natural gas prices are stagnant. We are not seeing any significant increases on the horizon. The supply is keeping the prices low," Gregorini said.
Natural gas working inventories, which reached an all-time weekly record in early November, ended November at an estimated 3.8 trillion cubic feet, almost equal to the level at the same time last year, according to the latest Energy Information Administration Short-Term Energy Outlook.

You aren't the only one looking to get an early start to the weekend.
The winter storm that dumped nearly a foot of snow north of Buffalo will take a break around 3 p.m. today, forecasters said, just in time for road crews to clear a path for the evening commute.
State plow crews were working furiously in Amherst and Tonawanda to clear the five inches of snow that fell late this morning and early this afternoon. Nearly a foot of snow fell in Niagara County.
If they are successful, travelers will have a relatively easy commute this evening, forecasters said, despite the possibility of icy roads in the Southtowns.
"As long as they can clear the roads for the evening commute, it shouldn't be too bad," said Dave Zaff, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. "The main arterials should be OK by 5 p.m."
The snow is expected to pick up later in the evening and continue steadily, dumping between 6 inches and a foot of snow throughout the region.
The Northtowns and Niagara County should register the highest totals, Zaff said, as slushy snow started falling there earlier in the morning.
Snow in the Southtowns, metro Buffalo and Ski Country picked up around lunch time, measuring between 1 and 4 inches.
A persistent morning rain in Lackawanna, Hamburg and other Lake Erie shoreline towns did not freeze as much as expected, Zaff said, taking away some of the danger of the evening drive home.
But travelers should remain vigilant, he said, because not all roads have been salted to the same extent.
Buffalo was spared from an early morning snowstorm that dumped six inches on Niagara County, but the Queen City got its due this afternoon.
Heavy flakes fell downtown and in the suburbs, making the Northtowns difficult to maneuver as plows made their second big push to clear the roads.
Niagara County got the early brunt of the snowfall that is now sweeping across the region.
Five inches of snow fell in Niagara Falls this morning, causing minor accidents and a temporary closure of the Interstate 190 northbound.
Steady snowfall started after 7 p.m. in the Falls, pushing crews onto the streets to clear a snow that slowed traffic on the main arterials and caused an hour-long bottleneck on the North Grand Island Bridge.
That snow band drifted along the Lake Ontario shoreline, dumping heavy snow on Lewiston, Wilson and other lakefront towns.
Youngstown looked like a ghost town this afternoon, with windy snowdrifts forcing locals into coffee shops or back into their homes.
And in Amherst, roads were dicey because of a steady, slushy snow that plows are battling to clear.
On the Buffalo waterfront, the snow seemed to pick up suddenly after a mostly clear morning.
Most flights at Buffalo Niagara International Airport were running smoothly this morning and afternoon, although two dozen flights – fewer than one quarter – were cancelled coming into the airport through the evening hours.
