JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. – As coach Floyd Kerr and the Stetson women's golf team gets set to take part in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship Tournament April 14-16 in Georgia, the Hatters need only look to the recent past for inspiration.
The 25th Atlantic Sun Women's Golf Championship begins Monday, April 14, as teams set their sights to Pine Lakes Course once again for a chance to win a conference championship.
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament at GolfStat.com. News and information on the A-Sun Championship will be available at AtlanticSun.org.
It was just a couple of years ago that Stetson completed a run of three straight league tournament titles (2009-10-11), and Kerr said his 2014 team has much in common with those teams.
"The three years we won the conference tournament, we were never the favorites going in," Kerr said. "I think there is a lot to be said for that. When you play the conference tournament there is a little bit different feeling when you go to the first tee."
The Hatters won't be the favorites this year when they walk to the first tee at Pine Lakes Golf Club in Jekyll Island, Ga. Stetson will be the No. 4 seed in the tournament, behind Mercer, East Tennessee State and Kennesaw State.
Kerr said that even though Mercer is the top seed going in, the team he thinks will set the pace is defending champion ETSU.
"In my mind, East Tennessee, who won on this course last year, is the stronger team," Kerr said. "If East Tennessee gets out to a six or eight shot lead on the first day of the tournament, they will be very difficult to catch. If it is close after the first and second day, then anyone could win."
Last season's championship saw ETSU capture the team title with a three-round total of 880. The Bucs return four of their five players and currently have the highest Golfweek and Golfstat ranking among Atlantic Sun teams. ETSU looks to become the 11th repeat champion in the championship's 25-year history.
Kennesaw State's Ines Lescudier returns to defend her individual title. Last year, Lescudier shot a 6-under 210, including an A-Sun Championship record 66 in the final round, to capture the individual medalist honor. Six of last year's top seven individual golfers return in 2014.
Overall, the A-Sun celebrated six tournament victories this year. Mercer led the way with two wins, while Jacksonville made history winning for the first time since 2006-07. ETSU, FGCU and Lipscomb were the other tournament winners over the course of the 2013-14 season. Individually the conference had eight golfers claim tournament victories.
The Hatters will rely on a quartet of senior players, along with one freshman, to end a two-year dry spell at the A-Sun Tournament. He thinks that all five players are peaking at the right time and all have a chance to play very well.
"I am real pleased with where we are with regard to ball-striking," Kerr said. "If we have a good three days up there, then it is possible for us to beat the three teams ranked ahead of us. I think we do have a chance to win and I think the girls think we have a chance to win."
Senior Ryan Ashburn, who is actually fifth on the team in scoring average this year, has been the Hatters' best player this spring. She posted consecutive top 20 finishes to start the spring season, averaging three-over par per round.
Another senior, Mallory Viera, is second on the team in scoring average and is returning to a course where she finished fourth in the league tournament last year, posting an even par score for the event.
Freshman Alessandra Kutz has the Hatters' best scoring average for the year, but struggled some this spring after December surgery. In the fall she did not finish lower than 21st in any tournament and had just one round with a score of 80. In her first two spring tournaments her average climbed to 78.3, but Kerr said she is returning to the form she had before the procedure.
"I think her swing is back to where it was in the fall and I think she is confident in her swing again," Kerr said. "Mentally, she has a lot of confidence right now. I think she is back to where she was in the fall."
Senior Jenna Hoecker enters the A-Sun Tournament playing the best golf of her collegiate career and Kerr said senior Claudia Redinger is on the verge of having a break-through.
"For us to be competitive at the conference tournament, we will have to have four good scores every day," Kerr said. "That is something we have been lacking, and has been our biggest problem this spring. We have not been getting four good scores. When you have to count an 80, you can't beat good people."
Redinger will get play started for the Hatters on Monday with a 9:30 a.m. tee time. She will play with Megan Collins of Jacksonville and Lauren Coe of UNF. Ashburn will follow at 9:39 a.m. playing with JU's Morgan Matchett and UNF's Belinda George.
Hoecker will begin her championship play at 9:48 a.m. playing with Sabrina Runbaugh of JU and UNF's Nathalie Nygren. Kutz will tee off at 9:57 a.m. along with playing partners Natalie Schmett of Jacksonville and Kelly Aylwin of UNF.
Viera will be the final Hatter to take to the course in the first round, with a 10:06 a.m. tee time. She will be joined by Jessica Welch of JU and Emelie Alpe of UNF.

Oops, something didn't work.
You can read a lot of Petzold's thoughts on his blog right now...
As he has been writing his book, he has had a bunch of great posts. Here is a sampling of XAML related posts I grabbed from his
Table of Contents:
The Two APIs, October 2005
XAML Rules, But Code Suffers, November 2005
Introducing XAML Cruncher, March 2006
Squaring the Circle, April 2006
To Infinity and Beyond, April 2006
8-bit Binary Adder in XAML, June 2006
Yes, I'd love to see him discuss his thoughts on WPF/XAML. I'd also like to hear the Channel 9 community's thoughts.
Rob Relyea | Lead Program Manager | WPF Team
P.S. There are several other WPF Books coming as well.
Thank you for the information.
Still hope Channel 9 can interview Charles about XAML and Windows Presentation Foundation.
Maybe Carl Franklin can get him on his Dot Net Rocks show as well.
I'm glad I got into this just two weeks ago instead of earlier. I came in at an exciting time.
I like how you can extend existing xaml objects and created new ones.
I was looking for an RSSView button that would tie into the common feeds list that I can set sizing, etc attribs for. I haven't decided whether to extend an existing object or create a new one, the great thing is I can and it's not difficult.
Is the IxFeedsManager and IFeedsManager going to change or does it look like it's make it into the final .NET 3.0?
Coming from an ASP / ASP.NET background I love the idea of using markup to create applications. Thank you for this presentation!
It took some digging but I found the post on the 7 Goals for XAML:
nice video, i enjoyed watching it although i started to lose it a bit near the end as i was in over my head.
which is the point i would like to make i guess. i am new to all things microsoft and my background is flash/actionscript 2.0. i started to learn xaml, visual c# and EID on June 1 but its slow going as there is so much underneath this stuff that makes it confusing for a beginner.
ok here is my point. as a xaml beginner its very difficult to learn it 'off the bat' and what i mean is that i have found i must learn visual c# (i choose this route as its similar to actionscript) in order to make sense of some of the xaml. furthermore there are limited resources out there at the moment for learning xaml and of course things are changing quickly so its difficult to hold onto something.
anyhow as i said i am making slow progress but Rob what would be your suggestions, if any, to someone who is new to this? (i was looking to fasttrack but that aint gonna happen)
Note: I have worked through EID both from creating XAML from the UI and then checking it and XAML by hand and checking the UI. C# basics are ok so i have some idea. I have watched most of the videos (the mix ones are great) and hit any tutorial i can find. i purchased the xaml in a nutshell book (rubbish imho) and beginning visual c# 2005.
I have a new page where I link to useful "Xaml Language" info (including this video):
For WPF info, I also have http://robrelyea.com/wpf
Thanks, Rob

It's been 15 months since Zach Braff launched a Kickstarter campaign to ask fans to fund his new movie, and now the film – Wish I Was Here – is about to be released.
The comedy/drama, which the former Scrubs star wrote with his brother Adam and directs, features Braff, 39, as a struggling actor married to Kate Hudson.
In this exclusive clip, she asks, "What's the happiest you've ever seen me?" and he replies it was when he saw her surfing, but couldn't actually see her smile. "The happiest you've ever seen me is a smile you never saw?" she replies.
Braff launched his Kickstarter campaign in April 2013, on the heels of the successful Veronica Mars fundraiser. He hoped to raise $2 million to make the film, and in the end 46,520 fans kicked in more than $3.1 million.
"There was a lot of Internet insanity," he admitted in an interview with The Star-Ledger. "Everyone and their mother weighed in with their thoughts, and a lot of misinformation. First and foremost: 'Hey, you have money, go make it yourself.' Well, I do have money, yeah, but I don't have $5.5 million to spend on a movie, you know?"
Braff, who is taking over the @peoplemag Twitter account on Monday, doesn't regret turning to Kickstarter and says he will "do everything and anything" to make his movies.
"This is what drives me," he told The Star-Ledger. "It's like what I'm saying in Wish I Was Here – this is it. This is life. This is all there is. These are the years you get, and if you're lucky you'll get 90 or so, but what are you going to do with them? Seize the day. Carpe diem, man."
Wish I Was Here opens on Friday.
For now, follow @peoplemag for Braff's exclusive Tweets and photos!

Travis Minix Returns to Ball State Baseball as Coach
For Travis Minix, the decision to return to Ball State after a decade of professional baseball all started with a promise.
Minix had just been drafted in the 23rd round by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1999, and his lifelong aspiration of playing pro ball was about to be achieved.
Family and friends spent the day at the Minix household celebrating his accomplishment, offering congratulations and wishing the 21-year-old prospect "the best of luck" in the next chapter of his life.
Once the mob of enthused supporters had dispersed, Minix found himself sitting on the living room couches talking with his parents. The evening's conversation was centered on what would happen next, what everyone could expect and what all there was to look forward to for the newest member of the Devil Rays' system.
There was not much to argue about that night for the Minix family, but one topic was the focus of debate.
"I'm never going back to school," Minix stated.
"You're going back to school," his mother replied in that stern but loving way only mothers have mastered.
"No," Minix said. "I'm not going back to school."
"You have to go back to school," his mother pleaded. "Promise me you'll go back to school."
In the end, as is usually the case, mother won. Minix made a promise to her that after his baseball career was completed, he would file for reinstatement and finish earning his degree.
The passion Minix holds for the game of baseball started at a very young age. He began playing the sport when he was four years old, and would often pretend he was Pete Rose flying around the bases of his backyard stadium. While watching a Cubs game with his family several years later, a seven-year-old Minix turned to his dad and told him one day he would be on television playing professional baseball.
After graduating from South Central High School in the small town of Union Mills, Ind., Minix believed he would be enrolling at Purdue to play collegiate baseball. His plans quickly changed, however, when the head baseball coach of the Boilermakers at the time was let go from the program leaving Minix to reassess his options.
It would not take long for him to choose his next school.
Rich Maloney, who was about to begin his first season as the head baseball coach at Ball State, had gotten a tip from Minix's high school trainer that there was a kid on her team he needed to come see.
Maloney liked what he saw from Minix immediately.
"I loved the way Travis competed when I went to see him play," Maloney said. "I saw a player determined to be his best. Travis had a moxy about him different than most players."
Upon first meeting Maloney, Minix knew Ball State was "hands-down" where he wanted to be.
After redshirting his first year on campus, Minix stepped into a rotation that helped lead Ball State to the three winningest seasons in school history: 42 in 1999, 40 in 1997 and 39 in 1998.
The success Ball State baseball was experiencing under Maloney resulted in Major League Baseball scouts attending the team's games, and after Minix's junior season, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays selected the 6-1 right hander.
"The scout said the Rays liked the way I pitched," Minix said. "They liked my aggressiveness and that I could throw strikes with three pitches."
With the blessings of his parents and college coach, Minix left school to fulfill his dream of playing professional baseball.
He began the first year of his minor league career playing with the Hudson Valley Renegades in the New York-Penn League and came out of the bullpen and tallied a 1.44 earned run average.
The next three seasons saw Minix climb his way through the Rays system, pitching at Low Class A in 2000, High Class A in 2001 and reaching Double A in 2002.
From 2002 to 2006 Minix bounced back and forth from Double A and Triple A before being released by the organization.
One day later Minix was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies, and in 2008, Minix barely missed breaking with the big league club from camp.
It was an experience he would never forget.
""I honestly thought I was going to make the team," Minix said about his final days trying out for the big league team. "My agent did as well. Charlie Manuel called me into the office after the last day of the exhibition. He said they loved the way I went about my business, but they were going with left hander Clay Condrey instead."
So Minix headed back to Triple A, where he finished the season with an impressive 2.40 ERA and also led the league in number of appearances.
He would never receive the coveted big league call-up in his 14-year stint in the minors, but Minix's baseball career was hardly a failure.
Minix's teams won eight championships, and he totaled 588 strikeouts in 717.2 innings, 39 wins and a career era of 3.39.
Along the way, Minix was able to experience playing and competing against established major leaguers such as Miguel Cabrera, Derek Jeter, Matt Holliday, Bernie Williams, Manny Ramirez, Bobby Abreu, Josh Hamilton, Carl Crawford, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins. He was even roommates with Johnny Gomes and Shane Victorino.
They are memories Minix will cherish for the rest of his life.
There comes a point, however, in the careers of all athletes, when it is time to hang up the jerseys and move on to the next stage of their lives. Many of them wonder what they will do next, or are left trying to find ways to fill the time that was once taken up by countless hours of training and endless traveling.
Minix, however, still had a promise he meant to keep.
In the summer of 2013, Minix re-enrolled at Ball State to fulfill the wishes his mother had made all those years ago while they sat together in the family living room.
The now 36-year-old Minix is a Cardinal again, sitting in class, writing papers, trying to pass his writing proficiency exam and earn his bachelor's degree in general studies with an emphasis on physical education and health science.
His decision to return to the classroom is one that not only makes his mother and father proud, but one that has also earned him the admiration of his peers.
"I think it's wonderful," Chris Caboj, a former teammate of Minix's at Ball State said. "Many guys who go into the draft do not ever do that. Returning to school says twice as much about his drive to better himself."
The return to school, however, has not been easy on Minix. He often finds himself wishing he had finished school a long time ago, as the thrill of completing an assignment is just not the same as striking out a hitter with a well located fastball. He knows, however, this is a necessary step he must take if he plans to become a pitching coach.
To further improve the chances of one day being hired, Minix has taken the position of volunteer assistant under his friend and former coach – Rich Maloney.
The relationship he had formed with Maloney was the deciding reason Ball State was where Minix chose to finish his college degree and become an assistant, and there is nothing but respect between the two men.
"He is nothing but greatness," Minix said about his mentor. "I can talk to him about anything. He can come to me about anything. It's not a love-hate relationship because it's nothing but love toward each other. He's been there for me. He's a guy I'll always look up to."
Nowadays, when not in class or studying, Minix can be found on the field helping set up for practice, working with the position players and trying to absorb as much information and knowledge he can from the coaches.
He knows this is the path many coaches before him had to take, and he believes when the time is right, his experiences of playing professional baseball will come in handy.
"I pitched 14 years, no arm injuries," Minix said. "I don't have any scars, so I know how to take care of my arm. I think that will help a lot in the interview process."
Until then, however, Minix will continue working toward finishing his degree, helping out the baseball team, trying to find chances to drive home to be with his girlfriend and enjoy whatever free time is left by going pike fishing or buck hunting.
He might wish he had finished school the first time around, but there are definitely those who are glad to see where he is at in his life.
"When I coached Travis he was a young man finding himself," Maloney said. "Now he has matured into a grown man. He is self-confident and personally responsible. He is a man looking toward his future, a man driven and a man looking forward to the next chapter in his life. It is great to have him back at Ball State."

- 2004
Saucy Road to Stardom
With her role as Gabrielle Solis on the instantly successful Desperate Housewives, Longoria becomes a household name. She tells PEOPLE, "Yesterday I went to the grocery store. I'd come from the set, so I was in full hair and makeup, and I just wanted to go home. Four women stopped me in the poultry aisle, and they were like, 'Aren't you on that show?' Because I'm so interested right now in what everybody thinks about the show, I probably kept them 20 minutes. They were like, 'Oh my God, that happened to me!'"
Super Fan
Attending a San Antonio Spurs game with her father, Longoria, 29, is introduced to the team's 22-year-old star Tony Parker. The Belgian-born Parker invites Longoria's dad to dinner after the game as a way to get her to come along. Parker and Longoria talk on the phone for a month before having their first date.

Huffman takes home the award, and Housewives wins a total of six Emmy awards.
Show Off
Longoria plays up her vampy show persona at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, appearing onstage in a one-piece bathing suit and telling the show's host, Diddy, "You said anything goes." Her skimpy appearance gets mixed reviews. "I was visually vulnerable...My stylist had to literally push me out," Longoria tells WENN. "I did not want to do it and all my girlfriends are here and they were like, 'Do it, do it, do it."
Disturbing the Peace
According to a San Antonio Police Department officer, Parker and Longoria "began screaming [at him] in a verbally abusive and demeaning manner," insulting his ethnicity. Longoria denies the claim in a statement: "I never made any sort of racial slurs, let alone comments about the officer being Mexican, as a Mexican myself."
- 2006
Is Eva a Mirage?
Celebrating its 100th issue, Maxim creates a 75-ft. by 110-ft. display of its Longoria cover and places it in a remote Nevada desert spot so that it can be seen by passing planes and, supposedly, satellites in outer space. Longoria remains a favorite of the magazine's subscribers when she's named No. 1 on its Hot 100 list for the second year in a row.
Perfect Proposal
Just two months after taking a break, Parker flies to L.A. after a game, surprises Longoria and pops the question. "I cried my eyes out," says Longoria. "I was mostly touched by how nervous he was. I was like, 'You know I'm going to say yes.'"

that's the problem...how can anyone NOT from here, NOT one whos blood runs thru generations in this state,can have anywhere CLOSE to as much affection for this state? did they NOT have a home state where their families histories lie? they can love another over their own? that kind of attitude led us where we are today, with implants thinking THEY know more, are smarter, are RICHER(ROCKY!!)..sorry, if your affections for home begin somewhere other than where you were born, IMHO, you have become a carpet bagger.Charity is said to begin at home, yet implants forsake THEIR homes for selfish and greedy reasons.they have no loyalty to their HOME, how can they have any here?"

Senator Rockefeller states, "I found my life's passion, a call to public service, in her people - work I am deeply grateful to have done for 50 of her 150 years."
Public "service"? If he would have wanted to perform a "service" to our state, he would have stepped aside long before 50 years!

The seemingly quixotic effort by Rep. Brian Higgins to finally get rid of the Skyway gained ground recently when the state Department of Transportation did a 180 and expressed a willingness to review alternatives.
While it is only a "review," we'll take it for now.
Higgins has been tilting at that monolithic connector between Buffalo's downtown waterfront and the outer harbor for years, both during his days as an assemblyman and now congressman. He won't stop … and that's good.
DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald gave him assurance that the agency will conduct a "plausibility review" that should give rise to a "meaningful discussion" on the Skyway's future. As Higgins said, this is a seminal moment.
But without getting too excited, let's consider the facts.
Acting DOT Regional Director Darrell F. Kaminski told The News just last September that it would cost $35 million for Skyway decking and painting over the next five to 10 years.
For the cost of extending the Skyway's life – the DOT's Skyway Management Study, in October 2008, suggested it will cost $117 million over the next 20 years – it's worth considering the estimated $75 million to build a pedestrian-friendly bridge to replace the Skyway.
The agency should take a serious look, since it's already considering the removal of the aging elevated Interstate 81 in Syracuse, which would cost an estimated $500 million to replace, and the $5 billion replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge downstate.
Higgins points to a number of projects and proposals that, taken together, offer an alternative to the Skyway:
• The more than $50 million effort that created an Outer Harbor Parkway at Fuhrmann Boulevard.
• An $11 million project scheduled to get under way next year transforming Ohio Street into a riverfront parkway.
• A study of proposals to connect the inner and outer harbors through a new Buffalo Harbor Bridge.
• A $2.3 million improvement project completed along South Park Avenue.
The Skyway mars acres of prime property at Canalside and another 27.5 acres along Buffalo's outer harbor. Considering the level of waterfront transformation that has already occurred and the demand for further economic development, the Skyway is long overdue for this serious "review."

What do you do if you're the president of the United States, your nation is crumbling and your poll numbers are the worst of any president since Richard M. Nixon?
If you're President Barack Obama, you stop talking about economic inequality, pack the wife and kids into a Boeing 747-200B and fly off to Hawaii for a 17-day vacation at an estimated cost of $4 million.
Aloha, President Obama.
Trouble is, the nation's troubles, foreign and domestic, don't go away.
Iran remains a thorn. Syria continues to fester. Russia builds a new coalition (shades of the former Soviet Union). China lays claim to huge swaths of the East China Sea and South China Sea. Afghanistan and Iraq grow wilder by the day.
Aloha, President Obama.
Here at home: Congress and the White House dodge the nation's financial crisis. The economy continues to melt down. The Affordable Care Act wrecks more havoc on the nation's health care system (and your health). Scandals and lies erode our faith in government.
(A Gallup poll this week found that a record 72 percent of Americans believe big government is a bigger threat to the nation's future than is big business or big labor.)
One major scandal - Obama's National Security Agency spying on us - grew legs this week when a federal judge said he thinks the NSA is violating Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
The judge thinks that James Madison, who wrote our Constitution, would be "aghast." The case is likely to be settled in the Supreme Court.
Aloha, President Obama.
There's a sense throughout the land that the Obama administration is either not in control or out of control, and some people wonder what can be done about it. We have three more years of the Obama presidency, after all.
Impeachment? No. Out of the question, for several reasons.
For one thing, Obama still has a huge following in the black community, and any attempt at impeaching him would beg for the race card to be played. It could turn ugly.
Another thing: Too many people (Democrats) are invested in the Obama presidency and would fight impeachment tooth and nail.
Nevertheless, there may be a way to at least slow him down. He could be dragged into court and ordered to stop violating the Constitution.
That, in fact, is exactly what Republican Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina would like to do, and so he's sponsoring a resolution - HR 442, Stop This Overreaching Presidency - that would initiate court action forcing Obama to abide by the Constitution.
The measure has 29 co-sponsors in the House. Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia is not one of them.
Rice, in a letter to colleagues, says:
"President Obama has adopted a practice of picking and choosing which laws he wants to enforce. In most cases, his laws of choice conveniently coincide with his Administration's political agenda.
"Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress and vested this power in the president. However, President Obama has chosen to ignore some of the laws written by Congress and implemented by preceding Presidents. "
Rice cites several examples (two involve Obamacare), and he wants a court to stop the practice.
Will it work? Don't hold your breath. But at least some members of Congress are willing to do more than issue press releases and sound-bites that satisfy constituents but accomplish nothing.
Aloha, President Obama.
Correction: In last week's column, the number of House Republicans opposing a "deal" on federal spending was incorrect. A total of 62 voted against the "deal." while 169, including West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, voted for it.
The measure passed the Senate this week 67-33. The GOP vote was 12 for, 33 against.
Both West Virginia senators (Democrats Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller) voted for the measure.

LOCKPORT – Darius M. Belton, the Niagara Falls man accused of fatally shooting his uncle in front of a crowd of witnesses, was offered a plea deal Monday.
Belton, 18, of South Avenue, will appear before Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas on Feb. 21 to say whether he will plead guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said she offered the plea deal to Belton along with a 20-year cap on his prison sentence. The legal maximum for that charge is 25 years in prison.
Belton is under indictment on charges of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the Sept. 25 slaying of Luis A. Ubiles, 37, who lived next door to the defendant.
"The question is the [sentencing] commitment," defense attorney Angelo Musitano said.
Hoffmann said, "At this point, we're waiting to see if the judge will commit to a cap, and then we'll go from there."
The attorneys met with Farkas' law clerk Monday, and Hoffmann met with family members.
"It's the same family on both sides, so there's a lot of emotion," the prosecutor said. "Certainly a plea would bring a definite outcome, which trials never do."
If convicted of murder, Belton would face a possible maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
Ubiles died from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. Police said the outdoor shooting followed a minor argument between Ubiles and Belton's mother, Deon Ubiles. The dead man was the brother of Belton's father.
Belton, accompanied by Musitano, turned himself in at Niagara Falls Police Headquarters on Sept. 28. He is in Niagara County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
In another case Monday, Anthony D. Regalla, 47, of Colonial Drive, City of Tonawanda, was directed to tell Farkas on Feb. 21 if he will plead guilty in a June 20 North Tonawanda crash in which his car allegedly struck and injured two pedestrians and killed a dog before plunging into the Erie Canal.
The victims were Ronaldo Parker, 48, a Buffalo firefighter; his fiancee, Darnelle Brady, 42, of North Tonawanda; and her two miniature schnauzers. One dog was killed, and the other was injured.

A Buffalo man faces 50 years in prison after pleading guilty last week to robbery charges in connection with five armed robberies last year in Buffalo.
Antonio Bedgood, 36, of Crossman Street, admitted robbing the businesses between Nov. 16 and Nov. 30. He pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree robbery and three counts of second-degree robbery, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
He robbed a Family Dollar store at 1307 Jefferson Ave.; a Subway sandwich shop at 1285 William St.; and Rite Aid pharmacies at 476 William, 350 Niagara St. and 424 Elmwood Ave.
Bedgood is scheduled to be sentenced by Erie County Judge Sheila A. DiTullio on April 4.

Dell announced earlier this week that it would close down its Austin, Texas PC manufacturing plant and laying off 900 employees in the Austin area. Dell also said at that time that it intended to cut an additional 8,800 jobs within the company in an effort to save a total of $3 billion over the next several years.
Michael Dell, CEO and Founder of Dell, said on Thursday, "We're decreasing our head count. It's declined in the past two quarters and it will decline again in the first quarter. And we will go past the 8,800 target previously discussed as we achieve everything that I'm outlining today."
The AP reports that 5,500 Dell jobs have been cut so far with 1,000 more cuts coming this quarter. However, Dell CFO Donald Carty does say that there has been an increase in frontline personnel like sales and customer support for a net reduction of 3,200 jobs so far.
Dell isn't alone in cutting jobs; Motorola is having its own problem with profitability and too many mouths to feed. Motorola announced recently that it wanted to break into two companies in an effort to become more profitable.
Motorola announced today that it would cut an additional 2,600 jobs adding up to 10,000 jobs cut since the beginning of 2007. The reason for the job cuts is blamed in part on the poor sales of cellular phones. The layoffs are the first wave of a plan to save Motorola $500 million this year.
The Wall Street Journal quotes Motorola from a statement saying, "The work-force reductions are intended to make financial resources available for strategic business investment, while better aligning operational costs and expenses with business growth."
Motorola is cutting jobs both abroad and at home, 354 of the jobs cut were in Plantation, Florida where handsets for use on WiMax networks were in development. The sad state of WiMax in the U.S. with Sprint continually postponing its Xohm rollout likely had an effect on those cuts.
quote: Please tell me how keeping US jobs at a time of an economic downturn saves the economy?
quote: Employment holds the key to the U.S. economy because jobs mean paychecks, paychecks mean consumer spending, and spending accounts for about 70 percent of the economy.

"Our house is the one people come to, to hang," Richie, 31, tells Domaine Home.
"I like people to come to my house and feel like they can do whatever they want."
The redesign began with picking the right colors – the House of Harlow 1960 designer settled on turquoise, yellow and black – and then chose a collection of vintage and modern industrial pieces and lots of lanterns to create a "relaxed and eclectic" feeling.
The result is an inviting space that doubles as a perfect spot for al fresco dinner parties or a playground for her daughter Harlow, 5, and son Sparrow, 3 – it even includes a hand-painted canvas teepee.
Just don't use the B-word to describe it. Says Richie: "I hate the term bohemian."

Hula Hoe
Product Actions
Additional Information
Hula Hoe is a Weeder with a Wiggle!
- Sharp steel blade slices through weeds with ease
- Cuts on both forward and back strokes
An ordinary flat hoe — the only kind you see in most garden centers — is good for moving and smoothing soil. For weeding, though, the Hula Hoe (also called a stirrup hoe or scuffle hoe) is a far better tool for the job. The sharp steel blade skims horizontally below the soil surface, slicing through weed roots while leaving the soil in place. The blade is designed to have a little play in it — the famous "hula wiggle" — so that it cuts at the correct angle on both backward and forward strokes.
Product Details
- Heat-treated, self-sharpening steel head; 4" opening
- 50" L wooden handle
- 57-1/2" L inches overall

As part of the plea negotiations, both Garridos gave lengthy confessions, recalling how they bought a stun gun in Reno in 1991, trolled South Lake Tahoe for a victim, and grabbed the 11-year-old Jaycee as she walked to her school bus.
The two, wearing red inmate jumpsuits, entered their pleas during an unscheduled, 35-minute hearing in El Dorado County Superior Court in Placerville, Calif.
Phillip Garrido listened attentively and asked the judge to repeat a statement about the irreversible nature of the pleas. Nancy Garrido sobbed throughout the hearing and at one point a bailiff handed her a tissue.
Plea DealAttorneys had been discussing the plea deal in earnest since earlier this year, after Phillip was found competent to stand trial.
Under the deal, the Garridos pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexual assault – 13 sexual-assault counts by Phillip and one by Nancy. Phillip, 60, will get 431 years, and Nancy Garrido, 55, will get 36 years to life. They both waived their right to appeal.

Please take a measurement over the largest part of your bust and refer to the chart below.
How to Take an Overbust Measurement
It is estimated that 70-85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Therefore, if you are unsure that the bra you are currently wearing is the correct size or if you are in-between sizes and want to double-check which size of Toni Dress to buy,
Below is a video demonstrating the proper way to take an overbust measurement.
When taking this "overbust" measurement, please be standing in front of a mirror (or have a helper) so that you can be sure the measuring tape remains parallel to the floor (especially in the back where it will have a tendency to sag). Hold the tape snugly, however don't constrict your breasts.
If you do not own a measuring tape or have one but "who the heck knows where it is", then click here to download our printable one. After you click the printer icon, please ensure that Page Scaling is set to "None" before clicking on "OK".
We exclusively use a 95% modal (beechwood fibre) and 5% spandex jersey for the Toni Collection. This luxurious fabric delivers comfort and softness against the skin, ease of care, excellent stretch and beautiful drape.
We recommend washing the Toni Collection by hand or machine in cool water, no bleach and hang to dry. In a pinch you could machine dry, however because of the spandex in the fabric, we don't recommend this on a regular basis as dryer heat will eventually break the spandex down.
The Toni Top ships as detailed below within Canada and for $10.10 to the USA. Visit our shipping page for more information such as our shipping days, estimated delivery date and options for expediting (for an additional charge).
British Columbia - $8.81
Alberta - $13.39
Saskatchewan - $15.93
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario, PEI, Quebec & Yukon – $15.43
Nova Scotia & Newfoundland - $19.45

Late Thursday night, the onslaught officially begins.
No, it's not the rush to the refrigerator for leftover turkey sandwiches - although some will partake in that tradition, too. It's not even the battle for the television remote to seek out the most interesting program on the tube. It's the now time-honored race to local retailers to scoop up the most valuable Black Friday deals.
Over the past several years, retailers have thrown their doors open earlier and earlier. Although this diminishes the true meaning and intent of the holiday season, Black Friday shopping sprees slowly have become a ritual in many households around the country - and in our own backyard.
The day not only officially marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, but it is the start of the time of year when many businesses go from operating in the red to making a profit.
Again this year, The Inter-Mountain will offer a plethora of advertising inserts in its Wild Wednesday edition with a vast amount of savings that even would make Santa Claus blush. More than 20 businesses will be included, a full two days before the official launch of the busy shopping season.
This year's Wild Wednesday advertising inserts include: Peebles, Big Lots, CVS, Innovative Mattress, Family Dollar, Dick's Sporting Goods, Walgreens, Walmart, U.S. Cellular, Lowes, Sears, Rite Aid, Southern States, Ntelos, Radio Shack, Advance Hearing, Davis Health System, Caplans and a pair of Kmart flyers totaling 76 pages of values.

LISBON - The group opposed to drilling and logging at Beaver Creek State Park has been advised drilling will occur under the park at some point but there are no current plans to do so from the surface.
The group's leader, Jim Kerr, told Columbiana County commissioners this week they were able to meet recently with, Glenn Cobb, chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' division of parks and recreation, to discuss drilling and logging at the state park. Cobb told them the park will eventually be leased for subsurface drilling.
"I asked him that specifically and he said it would" occur, Kerr said, adding there is no timetable to do so, however.
As for logging and surface drilling in the park, "(Cobb) tells us that at this point in time there are no plans to do either, and we were told if that changes the group would be given the opportunity" to meet again with him, Kerr said.
The group, Save Beaver Creek State Park, is concerned about the potential environmental and aesthetic impact of recent state laws allowing logging and oil and gas drilling to occur on state park lands. This is the second time the organization met with commissioners, who adopted a resolution supporting the group's efforts at their July 18 meeting.
The group has emphasized its opposition extends only to drilling on and not under state land, which is possible today because of a technique known as horizontal drilling. The law requires some of the revenue derived from drilling to go to the park where it occurs, and the group is all for that.
Kerr said during their discussions with ODNR they learned the state does not own the mineral rights to 1,200 of the 2,700 acres that make up Beaver Creek State Park.
'We don't know who they are or what acres they are," he said, adding some of the private mineral rights could be in the middle of the park's historic Pioneer Village. ODNR has indicated it would do its best to negotiate with the private mineral rights owners if this were to occur.
Another group representative, Tom Butch, reported they have also learned state regulations allowing haulers supplying water for drillers, or anyone else for that matter, to take up 100,000 gallons per day from streams such as Beaver Creek without registering with the ODNR.
The state is in the process of drafting new regulations that might address this issue. "We're going to keep an eye on that to see how the rule-making goes," he said, adding if the state fails to address the issue they will ask the local state representative and state senator to introduce legislation.
Kerr said they understand water is needed for the drilling process, but taking it from small streams is a poor alternative to getting it from more plentiful sources.
A group member reportedly came across water being pumped from the West Fork of the Little Beaver Creek near Y-Camp Road in Madison Township to a nearby drilling site. This section is outside the park and also outside the creek's national and scenic river designation.
Kerr said they have contacted state Rep. Craig Newbold, who has expressed his concern to the ODNR about drilling and logging, as has Joseph Shiavoni, who will become the county's next state senator next year.
Approximately 1,500 letters from local residents were delivered to the ODNR's Cobb and more are follow. "Even though we think things are going our way, we are going to continue our letter-writing campaign," Kerr said.

Bill and Gay Krause have high expectations for their $9 million gift to The Citadel.
Program goals
Cadets focus on an aspect of leadership each of their four years at the school. The program builds on what cadets learned the previous year.Year FocusFreshman PrepareSophomore ServeJunior LeadSenior Command
Quite simply, they want it to change the world.
The Krauses have committed the money to support, advance and endow the military college's leadership curriculum. Leadership activities at The Citadel are held campus-wide, but they are led by the Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics. The center was created in 2001 with a $2 million gift from the couple. The new gift places them among the top three lifetime donors in the college's history.
The school's leadership program is a four-year, step-by-step program that trains cadets to lead. It is woven throughout cadets' activities, and includes classroom study, military training and seminars.
Bill Krause, a 1963 graduate of The Citadel and president of LWK Ventures, said the school always has been about leadership. But he and former President Maj. Gen. John Grinalds in 2000, after a long conversation, decided leadership alone wasn't enough. Leaders needed to be principled.
At the time, Krause said, he was frustrated by unethical activities of business executives, such as those at Enron, WorldCom and Tyco International.
Krause said his philanthropic work focuses on educating young people because they are critical to the democratic process, and because an educated workforce is necessary to compete in the global economy. He also has a more lofty goal: "Educated people give you a better chance of finding peace in the world," he said.
The gift to The Citadel meets his philanthropic goals, he said, and it allows him to give back to the school to which he attributes his success. "I'm convinced that if I hadn't gone to The Citadel, I wouldn't have had anywhere near the financial success I've had," Krause said.
Lt. Gen. John Rosa, the school's current president, said the Krauses' gift is transformational for the leadership training program at The Citadel. It provides consistent funding, and will allow the college to further develop and evaluate the program.
While Krause is grateful to his alma mater, he also is critical of its shortcomings. And he hopes his gift will help to remedy them.
Krause said he was distraught over the behavior of some cadets and alumni when Shannon Faulkner enrolled as the first woman in 1995. "They acted like Neanderthals," he said.
Faulkner left the school after less than a week, citing abuse and physical exhaustion.
He wants the leadership program to promote diversity. And he wants the overall cadet system to be changed from an "adversarial autocracy" to a "mentoring meritocracy."
He wants the school to undergo "a cultural change to bring The Citadel into the 21st Century," he said.
When he was a cadet, "The Citadel was the quintessential bully," he said. But he thinks those days are fading away, a move he attributes largely to younger alumni.
He wants the leadership program to be so effective that it becomes a model for other schools. And he hopes cadets who complete it become adults who are leaders and who give back. "In order to do good, one must first do well," he said.
Rosa said that in the past, cadets could only look to those ahead of them to learn how to lead. With a structured leadership curriculum and program, "we are giving men and women tools and an instructional program to become effective leaders," he said. "That," Rosa said, "is the culture change."

Accepting the award for her portrayal of Rachel Berry on Glee, she tearfully dedicated her win to Monteith, who died from a a lethal combination of alcohol and heroin.
"I promise that with your love, we're going to get through this together," Michele, 26, told the audience gathered at Los Angeles's Gibson Amphitheatre. "He was very special to me and also to the world, and we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile and his beautiful, beautiful heart.
"So whether you knew him personally or just as [his character] Finn Hudson, Cory reached out, and he became a part of all of our hearts and that's where he'll stay forever."
Moments earlier, her Glee cast mates – who are back to work on the show's fifth season after paying tribute to the late actor on the Paramount studio lot – accepted the award for Choice Comedy Show.
"Cory was like a brother to us," Amber Riley told the audience. "He was always ready to sign an autograph or take a picture with a fan, and he loves you Gleeks."
Added costar Jenna Ushkowitz: "We know that Cory would have wanted us to dedicate this award to you guys."
Fans of Monteith may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and

on February 21, 2013 - 12:07 AM
, updated February 21, 2013 at 12:24 AM
Todd Roland was enjoying a rare day off in the middle of last summer when his godson, Joshua Broad, frantically called at midafternoon. "Come quick, it's Dad, and he is hurt bad," Joshua said.
Roland told Joshua to calm down. As a volunteer fire chief and emergency room cardiothoracic physician's assistant, Roland had plied his medical skills many times before in treating Keith Broad's mild cardio condition that sometimes caused irregular heartbeats.
But Joshua was frantic: "No, come quick."
It was impossible for the 21-year-old son to explain that a saw to cut concrete that his father was operating had kicked back and nearly severed Broad's right arm and ripped open his chest cavity.
Roland, with one hand holding his cellphone, ran out of his Park Place home in Cheektowaga and into the South Line Volunteer Fire Department's sport utility vehicle. His pager went off: "Severe industrial accident. Chest injury."
Roland suddenly felt the urgency and realized that his best friend's life hung in the balance.
"I told Josh, 'I'll be there in a minute. Just hang on,' " he recalled.
Roland raced to the scene on Oakwood Drive, about a mile away, imagining the worst. Keith and Joshua Broad, both members of South Line, worked together in a concrete business and had been installing wooden forms for a set of new residential front steps.
When Roland arrived, the 46-year-old Broad was bleeding profusely, barely conscious.
Two other volunteer firefighters already were at work, trying to halt the bleeding, but a skilled set of hands was needed to provide the complex first aid if Broad was to make it alive to Erie County Medical Center. That would be a high-speed, 15-minute drive away.
"We got him into the ambulance, and I started multiple IV lines to replace some of the fluid loss, then I reached into the wounds and attempted to subside the bleeding. I put my fist against one of the arteries. That slowed the bleeding," Roland recalled.
At the same time, with his free hand, the 40-year-old fire chief worked two cellphones to make sure his colleagues at ECMC's emergency room and surgical unit were ready for action.
"I knew the operating team that I worked with was just finishing their shift at about 3:45 p.m. I spoke with Dr. Anthony Picone, the thoracic surgeon, and told him it was a deep chest injury. Then I spoke to Zack Swanson, another physician's assistant, and told him to have the on-pump bypass machine primed," Roland said.
With the other cellphone on speaker, he dialed up Dr. Michael A. Manka Jr., ECMC's director of emergency medicine.
"I told him we needed a ton of blood and that it was bad. We needed the blood and to get into surgery right away," Roland said. "Mike said, 'I'll be ready.' "
Just before a quick stop in the ER to install a breathing tube and then a mad rush into the operating room, the critically injured patient managed to speak. "Todd," Broad said, "I can't feel my arms or legs. I'm very cold, and I'm going to sleep."
Roland explained to him that his blood pressure was extremely low, that they were giving him anesthesia and that all would be well.
"There were four of us operating on Keith," Roland said. "Dr. Picone and myself and Zack repaired the muscles in the chest and the chest wall. Dr. Raphael Blochle worked on the vascular injuries to the right arm and reattached it with Dr. Picone."
Three hours and 23 units of blood later, the surgical team at last let out a collective sigh of relief. Keith Broad was going to make it. And his right arm was saved, too.
Twenty-four hours later, Broad opened his eyes to see he was surrounded by his family and Roland, the man others are quick to say orchestrated the rapid response that saved his life.
Broad was given a pad and pen, and he wrote down the words "concrete and Tim Hortons." Joshua Broad knew exactly what his dad was communicating.
"He wanted to know if I finished the job and would we bring a coffee," his son said.
Broad gradually recalled the accident. In his many years of work, he had handled the concrete saw countless times, but a freak accident on the afternoon of Aug. 1 caused the saw to jolt backward after the blade was pinched.
He is now receiving physical therapy and regaining movement of his right arm.
"Keith has about 80 percent movement of his right arm," Roland said.
There is no end to Broad's gratitude, and Wednesday night Roland received the collective thanks of the community at an awards ceremony where he was given the "2013 Liberty Mutual Firemark Award for Heroism."
Joshua Broad explained why he nominated his godfather for the award.
"Because he saved my father," he said.
Roland says that it would not be right if others were not acknowledged for their roles in the lifesaving effort.
"The two firefighters already at the scene were John Herod and Frank Zieziula, and they provided the initial care," Roland said, adding that two paramedics from the fire company, Andy Atkinson and Jason Tolsma, rode in the ambulance to assist him.
"It was a perfect storm. It couldn't have been timed any better. Think about it: If I wasn't home and the surgeons weren't still at the hospital along with the ER director, … Oh, my God, it was the perfect storm," Roland said of what he believes was nothing short of a miraculous team effort.
Keith Broad also believes that it was a miracle.
"Everybody I see – the doctors, my rehab team – they all say it is a miracle," Broad said. "I owe a dying gratitude to all of the members of my fire company, Rural Metro, ECMC doctors and nurses, and especially to my chief and my best friend, Todd Roland."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Godly Play began at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Incline Village on Monday, Oct. 8 at 3:30 p.m.
Godly Play was started by an Episcopal clergyman named Jerome Berryman. It uses a Montessori approach, letting the children come up with their own answers to what is presented in each story. After the "wondering" at the end of each story, the children then may choose an activity which reinforces the story which they heard. Godly Play plans to meet every Monday at 3:30 p.m.
On Oct. 8 the story of Noah's Arc was told and the children made an animal that was on the Arc out of Play-Doh. The following Monday, Oct. 15, the children enjoyed hearing about the Bible story of creation. They made a "Creation Tree" by finding and drawing some things that God created.
Story telling begins about 3:40 p.m., and the story and follow-up activities should be finished by 4:15 p.m. The stories are for the children's enjoyment and wonder. They are not "teaching" in the strict sense of the word. The wondering session after the story usually includes questions like: "I wonder what part of the story you liked the best?" "I wonder where you see yourself in the story?"
Judy Morrison has taught Godly Play in the past, and she said there have been very interesting and insightful comments from the children. All children between the ages of 2 and 7 are invited to attend. Parents need not stay, but are certainly welcome. Snacks are provided from 3:30 p.m. until about 3:40 p.m.
Morrison hopes to see all of your beautiful children. The classroom is downstairs, next to the Parish Hall, in St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, 341 Village Drive, Incline Village. If you have questions, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 775-831-1564.
