Beginning Nov. 26, the Salem City Health Department will reduce its hours of operation and open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, closing for lunch from 1 to 1:30 p.m.
The city health board set the new hours during a special meeting Thursday, but held off on any action regarding new food service fees after questioning the accuracy of the number of hours devoted to the program.
The thinking was that the documented number of hours listed fell way short of the actual time spent on food service, which could affect the financial bottom line.
"I think it's just a matter of recordkeeping that needs addressed," Mayor John Berlin said.
Berlin serves as chairman of the health board and raised the issue while reviewing the cost methodology being used to calculate what should be charged locally for food service fees. The first reading for new fees was supposed to be done at the meeting, but the board held off until the numbers can be refigured.
When the city first regained its own health department a few years ago, the department used Columbiana County's fee structure, but last year, the state advised the city to do its own cost methodology. As a result of that methodology, the board ended up cutting the fees nearly in half, resulting in less income.
In trying to set the fees for next year, Health Commissioner Richard Setty prepared two cost methodology reports for the board. One method looked strictly at the sanitarian's salary and time spent on the program. The other method itemized the costs of running the program, including support costs and overhead, such as utility costs and rent.
The number on both reports that concerned board members was the number of hours listed that the sanitarian spent on the food program. According to the figures, out of all the hours worked for a year, the amount spent on food service only accounted for less than 20 percent of his time. Out of 750 plus hours worked (figured at 16 hours per week), the report listed 160 hours for food service. Setty figured a combined 139 hours for the five other programs which cover general nuisance complaints, swimming pools, tattoo establishments, schools and animal bites.
Board member Judy Sicilia said there's more than 450 hours unaccounted for and she couldn't believe they weren't spent in food service. According to Setty, some of the time was uncaptured and not tracked, such as some phone calls or time spent on paperwork. Berlin asked whether it was likely the other hours were spent in food service.
Board members had figures for the East Liverpool City Health Department for comparison purposes and learned their sanitarian also works 16 hours per week and has the same number of restaurants and food establishment to inspect (about 100), but was spending about 77 percent of their time in the food service program.
Pointing out that the board is trying to balance the budget and more than 450 hours can't be assessed to food service, Berlin asked whether they needed to be looking at reducing the sanitarian's hours to save money that way.
In dividing out the time for the year and the amount of time spent at each location, he said it averaged out to about 30 minutes per location for the minimum three inspections per year per location, which didn't seem correct.
Sicilia said the board knows the sanitarian is doing his job properly. Board member Newt McKnight said he's doing things he's not recording.
"There's just something wrong with the calculation," Berlin said.
Setty was asked to review the hours with the sanitarian and come back with another cost methodology for the next meeting, which is set for 10 a.m. Nov. 28.

Opponents of Pennsylvania's new voter identification law won a critical battle Tuesday as a state judge blocked enforcement of the measure in this fall's elections.
But don't think the war concerning voter IDs is over, even if the Corbett administration decides not to appeal the temporary injunction. The same fight is likely to emerge in 2013 as opponents once again try to block the law.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson ruled Tuesday that because of concerns about the ability for voters to get a usable ID before Nov. 6, the state cannot require one before people cast ballots next month. Election workers will be able to ask people for a photo ID, but if someone doesn't have one, that person still will be able to vote as normally.
The voter ID law had said that those without valid IDs would have to cast provisional ballots and then provide the county board of elections with identification within six days of the election for their ballots to be counted. If Simpson's injunction stands, that won't be necessary.
Simpson said based on the state Supreme Court's guidelines and reports of Pennsylvanians having trouble getting IDs at PennDOT licensing centers, he could not be assured, despite statements from state officials, that no voters would be disenfranchised by the law on Nov. 6.
There is no doubt that state officials stumbled early in creating and issuing voting-only photo identifications for people who did not possess all of the required paperwork for a standard nondriving state-issued photo ID, which can be used more broadly, such as for opening bank accounts or boarding a commercial flight.
In recent weeks, the state streamlined its process for issuing voting-only photo IDs, and we suspect that had people wanted an ID and were willing to invest a little time, they could have one before Nov. 6.
The big question is what happens next spring, when Simpson has cleared the voter ID law to be implemented. Will opponents make the same argument about the difficulty of some to obtain an ID?
We expect so.
We only hope at that point the courts are less sympathetic to the sob stories.
Requiring people to present a valid photo ID before casting ballots is a reasonable move to protect the integrity of the voting system.
We're disappointing that it appears the ID law won't be in effect next month. We'd be outraged if the courts were block it after that.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Defying U.N....
The UN Security Council passed a resolution last month threatening "significant action" against North Korea in the event of a new nuclear test or missile launch. I feel much better now.

Last night, I enjoyed a�Sierra Nevada Brewing Company�Stout.
It�s a simple beer compared to a lot of the stouts that come out today. It�s 5.8 percent alcohol by volume, not even close to an imperial stout. It�s not aged in Bourbon barrels or on oak. There�s no chocolate or coffee added.
It�s just a damn good stout and one I rarely buy. Why don�t I buy it? Mostly it�s because there are just so many new beers that come out on what seems like a daily basis I forget to drink the classics.
I love�Dogfish Head�90 Minute IPA but I can�t remember the last time I bought it. I haven�t had an�Anchor�Steam for about a year. A�Victory Brewing Company�Hop Devil is a beer in my distance memory. A�Rogue�Dead Guy Ale has not been in my glass forever.
These are the beers that helped introduce me to craft beer. These are the beers that first made realize, �Hey, beer is good. It�s not yellow carbonated water with bad flavor.� These are the beers that led me to develop friendships that were formed over a pint or two.
This is not a complaint about brand new beers. I have tasted numerous new beers that I really enjoyed and I'm glad I can get them.
This is more of a reminder, instead of chasing the latest and greatest, step back every once and awhile and pick up a six-pack of a beer that you really connected with in the early days of your craft beer exploration. Think about a beer that you really loved and you never drink it more and pick one up. You might be surprised about how much you loved that beer.

"I don't want you anymore…." that's what I keep tell`n myself and I no it's a lie?
I say that to keep myself from cry`n;
I don't want to speck of this person who made this way; this person messed up everything….this person is my only weakness-
I never know how it felt to feel this way but I do now and I don't like it;
Right now I just want to leave, move away, start over in a new place, but I can't seem to get myself up to actual doing it because it feels like there is something that I'm supposed to do?
2. Permission to Speak Freely;
Every day I go to school…and im held back because of the rules,
I have no freedom wut so ever?
But yet ppl continue to be mean and senseless of wut is really going on;
The nature of who we are has been thrown off balance!
The world that we all used to love has been thrown into a great depression….
Many ppl are losing their minds and many are losing sight of who they are.
You would think that violence was getting old but it is only the beginning;
My freedom was corrupted when I was younger….
Ppl made fun of me because I was mixed
And now that im older I look a lot darker
And it doesn't help that most of my friends parents are racist
Because they wouldn't let me hang out with them any more…..
When I wad lil I ddnt under stand y ppl ddnt want me hanging out with there kids
Until now?!
Life kinda sucks for me right now because im a confused lil gurl stuck inna teenagers body
No joke;
You would have thought ive learned by now that this place we live in is confusing
And scary but I have and hvnt at the same time and its hard to explain
For me that is;
3.this one doesnt have a tittle
Student says- Get out of my face!
Teacher says- Don`t raise your voice at me!!
Student says- It`s called freedom of speech, I done wit this bull shizz!
(Slams the door of the classroom and walks off)
Teachers says- DETENTION!!
Student says- Fudge off and walks home….?
Next thing you no student gets sent to jail for not being at school and walking out;
but I think that person really doesn't give a flying "F"…….
4. Is it freedom? Or attention?
Possible today will be okay…. Maybe the sun will come out-
Maybe I'll get to go outside and hang around- Here and there and a little bit of every where
When I'm alone I feel like I'm in charge….that seems fair don't yah think?
Is it freedom that I like or is It the attention I get?
5. My Wall
You would think that I would have told you….?
But I can't?! It's hard for me to talk about things and you should know that;
I don't like to talk about friends, relationships, or love….
Because I grow up Ina family that didn't involve it?!
You might think yah right that's a lie….but it truly isn't; I've had bad life experiences
Since I don't let people in; to climb my walls of thought and safety-
But with you as a friend they fell to the ground!! Exposing all secrets and unknown things about me?
So know I'm left with nothing…..not even you can help me?! ;
6. I might say I love
The question is do I know you well enough to say I love you?
To say I love you and mean it….well that will be hard since I don't use it because it's not my vocabulary?!
I don't understand why I want you; I don't understand why I'm here in this situation in the first place; not being able to understand you.
7. Dot, Dot, Dot, Question Mark!
Is life just a great big puzzle from the sky?
Does every thing fit into a certain spot of which they choose? Or do people pick for them-
Hmmm what can I say, I'm just a curious little girl stuck in a teens body;
Why does life got to be so complicated....why can't people be friendly to one another?
I wish I new someone who could answer that question-
your poems are great i love 2,3,4,&5 the most :D =D

|design and etc with words i wrote a poem and it can be read a bunch of different ways but in order for it to be more than mediocre it has to be in the picture of 3 strands of a rope frayed then coming together braiding themselves together and being frayed at the other end. you can read each strand as 3 different poems or read them in different orders.
I havent missed anything (*huh*) WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!!?!?!??!?
I hate being this way-
Confused alone and in the dark like some wild animal…
I need help, but I don't want to get it-
What's wrong with me? Why do I hurt everyone I love…?
Why do I always hurt the one`s that get close to me
Why does everything got to be this way;
I'm sorry
I said I'm freaking sorry what else do you want me to do
Do you want me to jump off a bridge?
Do you want me to right I love in the sky with stars?
What do you want me to do?
I don't like it when you're sad or mad at me!
I can't take it!
I can't do everything you want me to do I'm just one person-
<~~Routine is the key~~>

<~~Routine is the key~~>

<~~Routine is the key~~>
To night is the night, were the freaks come out!
The people everyone says don't belong here because they are different
We all final get to show are true sides weather its evil super villainous or just plain creepy-
I am a little edgy, meaning my persona can very
I'm that type of person who can be weird creepy outgoing and cool at the same time
So the question now is which am I today?
<~~Routine is the key~~>
Our love will last forever-
We both thought things were just going down hill until we meet;
The day we meet turned out to be great for the both of us-
We had found out that there are people out there just like us…
We understood each other-
Let's take a walk down memory lane….
Do you remember that day….
Down by the lake were we talk all day
The tree`s dancing to the whistling of the wind
The water sparkling so perfectly
And the mood just right!
We had some of the same interest,
we had so many questions that went unanswered?
We were like two puzzle peaces that fit together just perfectly-
<~~Routine is the key~~>
Celebrate the day of the dead-
Take my life, but don't take his!
Why? Because I love him!
Slit my throat and get it over with…
I want this to be done quick, what are you waiting for? Why won't you do it?
Fine! I'll do it myself-
Celebrate the day of the dead-
Why did you take your own life….?
Now im left here with no1 to love-
(Or am I)
(He goes off after another girl after the fact his love killed herself for him)
(but his luck ran out the chick he went after was a cereal killer on the loss) !!CARMA!!
<~~Routine is the key~~>
i like this one :D =D
<~~Routine is the key~~>
it's a funny one (if u want it to be that is) :D =D
<~~Routine is the key~~>
I`ll punch you in the face if you dump me!!
It's been 1 month since we`ve been together-
What a F`n D-BAG! I know I should have gone after TIM!!
You sit there and tell me you love me;
You sit there and say I want to be with you forever;
You're such a lair!
Don't talk to me any more!!
Oh what?!
You weren`t gonna dump me? Then what?!
You miss someone?!
Who is she?!
Why do you miss her!
I dnt think I can handle this anymore!!
The content anger, the flickers of depression….
Why me?!
That's all I ask-
<~~Routine is the key~~>
<~~Routine is the key~~>

"This was a spear phishing attack against an unclassified network," said an Obama administration national security official who was not authorized to speak on the record about the attack. The conservative website The Washington Free Beacon reported Sunday night that the Chinese government broke into one of the U.S. government's most sensitive computer networks. Shortly after the article was published, according to various media reports, a White House official contacted several media outlets confirming that an attack had been identified, but adding assurances that the system was isolated to prevent any spread. The White House refused to comment on the origin of the attack and whether or not there was any link to China. The White House official also said there was no indication that any data had been removed and that none of the White House's secure or classified computer systems were affected. Spear phishing, the tactic apparently used in this attack, is when a hacker sends an email that appears to be from a trusted source, but in actuality contains infected hyperlinks or attachments. When downloaded, the attachments hack into the user's computer systems.

Two bank robberies Monday in Jamestown and the Town of Ellicott may involve serial bank robbers, prompting authorities in the Southern Tier municipalities to join forces with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies from across the state where there have been bank robberies.
Surveillance video indicates possibly one of the crooks could be the same person traveling around the state with an accomplice.
The two most recent robberies occurred at the First Niagara on the 400 block of Spring Street in Jamestown at 12:16 p.m., and Jamestown Savings Bank on the 200 block of West Main Street in Falconer, a village in the Town of Ellicott, at 2:25 p.m., police said.
Anyone with information on either robbery was asked to call Jamestown police at 483-7537, or Town of Ellicott police at 665-7083. All information will be kept confidential.

Nine-year-old Maryann Morrison is a steely veteran when it comes to visiting the dentist.
She's also a realist.
"It has to happen sometime so you can't really stop it," she said of her appointments at the University at Buffalo Dental clinic. "But you shouldn't be afraid because they're just trying to help your teeth. If you don't go, your teeth are just going to hurt more."
If only all children could be so adult about Going To The Doctor. But many are not.
Even with an early start, and a great doctor and plenty of reassurance – and maybe the occasional bribe – it can still be tough to make the little ones less anxious about the impending visit with that grown-up in the white coat who wants to poke, prod, scrape and inject them.
How do you do make it easier on all involved? By following the standard parenting axiom: Be a role model and set a good example.
"Parents need to remain calm even if they're anxious. Children pick up on fear and anxiety," said Dr. Matthew F. Bartels, a pediatrician with Lifetime Health Medical Group in Amherst and associate medical director at Univera Healthcare.
Parents should plan their child's first visit to the dentist about six months after a child's first tooth breaks through, said Meelin Dian Chin Kit-Wells, clinical assistant professor of pediatric and community dentistry at UB Dental School (her patients call her Dr. Dian).
The first visit to a pediatrician should start even earlier – before a child is born, Bartels advised.
Expectant parents can talk with friends who have children, ask their own doctors if they know of a good pediatrician or check websites including www.rateMDs.com, doctor.webmd.com and www.health.ny.gov/professionals/doctors/conduct.
Bartels said parents also should consider making an appointment to see some pediatricians, who will make time in their schedules – often free of charge – to meet with and give a firsthand sense of their bedside manner and office practices.
Children will have been to the pediatrician several times before they start figuring out where they're headed. "By 15 to 18 months, they've kind of figured it out," Bartels said.
Different children can behave differently on doctor or dental visits, but parents can ease the process of what Bartels calls "normal stranger anxiety" by being organized and prepared.
Most children won't be keen on an office visit – particularly after their first experience – doctors say. Seasoned medical pros can weather the storm of tears and fears, but it's a lot easier with parental support. It's important for parents to be calm during the hard-to-watch parts, and be prepared to reassure the child.
"If a child cries, it's OK, because then we can see their teeth better," said a smiling Kelly Burch, a dental hygienist currently enrolled at UB Dental School.
Preparation starts at home and in the waiting room, where parents can tell children what to expect, that any hard part will be over quickly and – if parents are really prepared – that the parent and child can do something fun after the visit (see bribery, occasional). Parents also can help themselves down the line by the way they portray their doctor or dentist at home.
"Parents love for us to remind children, 'No candy! No thumb sucking! No more bottle or pacifier!' and that can make children less comfortable visiting the dentist," Kit-Wells said. "It is especially difficult, when a lie is attached to it, such as 'If you suck your thumb any more, the dentist will pull all your teeth out.' "
Bartels suggests parents look at time in waiting and exam rooms as good one-on-one time with their children, a chance for both to catch up on details of their busy lives, and for parents to underline the importance of good health habits.
Every child is different, but over time, "it does get better," Bartels said of health care visits. By age 6 or 8, "the kids are going to be less anxious, less fearful."
That's true of even Maryann, who now needs braces – and a tooth pulled in the process.
"She obviously has some fear," said her mother, Julie. "But she's a brave little girl."

The Cell Gallery App by GE Healthcare Life Sciences received three stars. Find out more about this app and others below.
Is there an app for that? If there is, you should check if it's in GEN's Best Science Apps first! Every month, we bring you a list of the best biotech- and biopharma-related apps we think you, GEN reader, would find useful and/or interesting. Here is our most recent list of Best Science Apps. Enjoy!
Key:Four stars: ExcellentThree stars: Very GoodTwo stars: Good+ Strong points– Weak points
Platform: iPad/iPhoneCost: $2.99+ Very high-resolution images– Limited number of specimens
Now this would be a smart addition to your app repertoire… The Smart Microscope app allows users to explore a variety of miniscule biological specimens via their iPads or iPhones. The microscopic slides to be viewed are divided into six categories: featured, humans/mammals, insects/spiders, other animals, plants/fungi, and single-celled organisms. The specimen images themselves are very high-resolution, allowing one to really get close with one's "microscope" and observe the fine details of the hind leg of a bee or the body of a bed bug. Some of the slides take a moment to load, but the delay is not bad given the resolution of the images. Each slide is annotated with pins (that can be toggled on/off) that, upon clicking, display brief descriptions of the body part or feature to which the pin was pointing.
Platform: iPadCost: Free+ Easy to use, map loads quickly
For all you bird lovers and bird watchers out there, the MyNaturalist app could be a pretty nifty addition to your iPad or iPhone. Using GPS, the app identifies your location and displays with pin icons all of the bird sightings that have been reported in your proximity. (Of course this means that if you have an iPad you must have a cellular plan or have access to a Wi-Fi network, which may be hard to come by when you're out searching for birds. However, if you a unable to use the GPS, there is a manual positioning option.) Tapping on a pin displays the species that was sighted, along with additional information such as the scientific and common names, conservation status, and details about the date and location of the sighting. Importantly, the app doesn't merely serve to let you view the sighting specifics of others, it also allows you to track your own sightings.
Platform: iPadCost: $1.99+ Includes a lot of information, good visual aid– Flawed zoom mechanics, too expensive
We are all taught sometime during our early education to use flowcharts or other brainstorming diagrams to organize our thoughts. The iMicrobiology HD app employs this chart-making strategy to provide study guides for microbiology students trying to remember, say, which viruses are single-stranded versus double-stranded RNA viruses. From the "maps" button on the home screen, users can explore the relationships among different types of viruses, bacteria, or parasites. In general, users can select a given node of the map to either display or hide the subsequent nodes (although the more general "summary" maps don't offer this option). While a useful visual study aid, the maps are too large to be viewed in their entirety on the iPad screen and the zoom mechanics are a bit flawed.
Platform: iPad/iPhoneCost: Free+ Great collection of beautiful biological images– Navigation through the museum is cumbersome
Visit your local art museum and you won't exactly find images of fluorescently stained cells. But that's exactly what is housed in this virtual museum, the Cell Gallery App by GE Healthcare Life Sciences. The app is designed to allow visitors to actually navigate through the "museum" in order to admire past winners of the GE Cell Image Competition. Unfortunately, the navigational controls are a bit awkward—for instance, there are separate buttons on opposite sides of the screen for moving forward and for turning to face the artwork. If you find the navigation too frustrating, there is luckily a "flipbook" option that allows you to simply browse the images in a slideshow format. In that mode, users can also browse by categories such as cancer and toxicology. In either the museum or flipbook mode, users can display more information about each piece of "artwork" by tapping on the image.
Platform: iPad/iPhoneCost: Free+ Many different resources– Need an Internet connection for much of app
If you're in the business of analyzing or sorting fluorescently labeled cells, the BioLegend Flow Cytometry App is right up your alley. This app provides a number of great resources for researchers who use flow cytometry, with an emphasis on designing and optimizing experiments in which multiple fluorophores are used. The resources include a page on fluorophores in which users can show all fluorophores for a given excitation laser, a fluorescence spectra analyzer, and a fluorophores brightness index. There are also sections for flow cytometry troubleshooting, flow cytometry buffers, and video tutorials. Unfortunately, much of the app relies on redirecting visitors to the relevant sections on the company's website; therefore, one must have internet access (or a cellular data plan) in order to use the app.
Platform: iPad/iPhoneCost: $0.99+ Nice rotatable 3D model, a fair amount of information provided– Can't pinch-and-zoom, should be a free app
One of a series of medical human anatomy apps, 3D Neuron Anatomy is a rather straightforward, although informative, app. Not to be confused with neuroanatomy—which would provide information about the positions of brain structures relative to one another—this neuron anatomy app informs students about the basic anatomical features of the neuron itself. The central feature of the app is the 3D, rotatable model of a neuron. As the app user clicks on pins associated with different parts of the cell, information about that cellular feature is displayed. While rotating the neuron is effortless, the zoom feature is cumbersome in that one cannot simply pinch-and-zoom. Overall the app should probably be offered at no charge given its limited content, but at the same time $0.99 is only a fraction of the cost of one's morning coffee…

When an entrepreneur who wanted to open a convenience store on Bailey Avenue went to the Common Council to get approval, lawmakers already were skeptical, as police had advised against granting the license.
And when Saleh M. Nagi showed the Legislation Committee pictures of what the interior of the store looked like, his prospects went from bad to worse.
Some of the photos were not of shelves from Nagi's store, but from a well-known chain store, Committee Chairman Darius G. Pridgen pointed out.
It didn't take long for committee members to denounce what they considered to be an intentional effort to mislead them.
"This is plain deceitful," Fillmore Council Member David A. Franczyk said. "This is a horrific way to advocate for a project."
University Council Member Bonnie E. Russell, who represents the district in which the proposed store is located, called the photo fiasco "the craziest thing that has happened in a long time."
The episode earlier this month occurred during the Council's vetting process, which typically includes site inspections by the district lawmaker, interviews with store personnel, and questions about the kind of inventory that will be sold before a vote on the license is held.
As the Police Department did in sting operations last year, the Council has sought to get tough on neighborhood delis, which in some cases are magnets for loitering, drug deals and other criminal activity.
Advocates for store owners, meanwhile, have said that a few rogue stores have made people suspicious of law-abiding stores.
Nagi's attorney, Nicholas P. Amigone III, appeared shocked and embarrassed when some of the photos were revealed to be not of the store in question, Buffalo Sunrise Express Market at 3172 Bailey Ave., and apologized for the "egregious error" in a letter hand delivered to Council members. He said it was a misunderstanding between himself and his client.
In his appearance before the Legislation Committee, Amigone made a case for why the store should be open despite the police recommendation, saying that the location was never a food store before and that his client planned to be an upstanding member of the University District community. The store is equipped with bullet-proof glass around the cashier and 16 security cameras and will not sell single diapers or cigarettes, the lawyer told lawmakers.
"My guy is an honest, hardworking guy, he'll run a clean operation," Amigone said in a later interview, adding that he is continuing to seek the license. "The application does not rise and fall on what is in those photographs," he said.
Russell, however, is not inclined to grant the license and is referring the matter of the misleading pictures to the Erie County District Attorney's Office in an attempt to make a case that will hold up in court for why the store should not be permitted to open. She stressed her concern is with Nagi, not Amigone.
The Police Department based its recommendation that the store not be allowed to open on recent criminal activity in the area related to loitering around other delicatessens.
In addition to granting licenses for new stores, the Council is charged with renewing licenses for nearly every food store every year. Before the Council votes to renew the licenses this year, Russell is seeking a review of police reports around each of the 388 stores on the list.
Franczyk said he is scrutinizing several stores in his district, including the Broadway Mart, at 1069 Broadway, where the license had been revoked, but was later re-instated in State Supreme Court.
Conditions at the Broadway Mart appear to have improved, said Marlies Wesolowski, executive director of the Lt. Col. Matt Urban Center, who has been critical of the deli. Wesolowski said the deli owner appears to be improving the property, and troublemakers are not hanging around the store, though that could be because the cold weather has driven them away, she said.
The store appeared to be clean during a visit this week, and a large "no-loitering" sign was posted at the entrance.
The owner of the store was not available to talk during a recent visit and did not respond to a request for an interview, but a representative of the Arab-American business community said stores should not be blamed for the problems around them.
"What are we supposed to do, stand out there with a gun? That's the police's job," said Fred Merukeb, president of the Arab-American Businessmen Association of Western New York, which represents between 70 to 100 food stores in the city.
Merukeb said he is concerned that stores owned by Arab-Americans are being targeted unfairly and said they cannot be blamed for problems that plague many neighborhoods.
Nearly all of the stores follow city regulations, he said.
His group is working with churches and anti-violence organizations to address problems around the stores, he said.
"We care about Buffalo just like anybody else," he said. "Of course there are rogue owners, and we want to get rid of them."
The Council is also forming a task force with representatives from law enforcement, the U.S. Attorney's Office and city departments to examine all business licenses the city grants, and brainstorm ways to clarify ordinances to make effective cases to shut down problem stores. The task force, which was conceived as a way to regulate delis but was expanded to include all businesses, will begin meeting once a representative from the district attorney's office is appointed, Russell said.

Open Source Physics wins award for online education | Opensource.com
Open Source Physics wins award for online education
Open Source Physics is an online curriculum resource, created and edited by a group of college professors, that provides students new ways to understand and predict physical phenomena through computational physics and computer modeling. For students who learn best by exploring and doing versus just reading this is an outstanding resource.
Open Source Physics came to fruition because these professors felt like there was a gap between what students were learning in the classroom and the skills they needed. Unfortunately, such realizations appear to be consistent within education as a whole. The authors note on the site:
Computers and computer-based instruction pervade our educational institutions, and much of experimental and theoretical physics cannot be done without the aid of computers. Despite these advances in teaching and research, computational physics remains absent from the typical undergraduate physics program....The absence of computation and modeling is one of the most striking examples of our failure to update the curriculum. The OSP Collection seeks to address this failure.
Recently, Open Source Physics won Science magazine's Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE). The goal of SPORE is to raise the profile of worthwhile science education projects.
Congratulations, Open Source Physics!

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - Class, Health, & Health Care (Part 2 of 2)
This week on New World Notes: radio program #247, November 27, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst replays Part 2 of an interview with health care reformer Dr. Susan Rosenthal, author of Sick and Sicker.
This week she discusses the horrors of life in England during the Industrial Revolution (ca. 1845), the problems with Canada's single-payer healthcare system (though it's still better than the U.S. system), how the profit motive and computers have brought us "assembly-line medicine," and the health-care reforms established in Chile, under Allende, in the 1970s.
This is an "encore presentation," originally broadcast in July 2010.
Susan's book, Sick and Sicker: Essays on Class, Health and Health Care, is available in paperback (from her) or as a "Kindle" electronic book from Amazon.com. For more information on the book--and more by Susan--see her website, www.susanrosenthal.com.
See also the Web site of the International Health Workers for People Over Profit.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "aegis") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.

Tifa Lockhart, Final Fantasy VII
Tifa, from classic Japanese role-playing game Final Fantasy VII, was cute, but she packed a punch. As a senior member of the AVALANCHE terrorist group, she was schooled in the art of kicking butt, but she did so with an elegance that hinted at a softer interior. And wasn't it a glorious sight? Her kicking butt, we mean… not her butt. Well, we mean that, too. Ah, you know what we mean.

Cooking in Belgium
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
In a venture funded jointly by the beef checkoff and USDA's Market Access Program, 130 chefs and caterers participated in a U.S. beef tasting event in Antwerp, Belgium. Participants witnessed a cutting and cooking demonstration of secondary cuts of U.S. beef before enjoying a U.S. beef dinner.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Sympathetic waitress picks up dinner check for breast-feeding Erie mom
Sarah Laurianti didn't feel like she was doing anything wrong.
Less than 10 minutes after Laurianti and her husband, Jason, settled into their booth at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Summit Township on July 16, the couple's two-month-old son, Dominic, let Mom know he was hungry.
So Laurianti grabbed a napkin for cover, pulled Dominic close, and started breast-feeding the child -- as discreetly as she could.
Patrons and employees noticed. Some shot disapproving glances. Others whispered. "There were people who kind of gave me the eye," Laurianti, 32, said. "I just smiled back."
"He was starving," Laurianti said of Dominic. "Everyone eats there. I figured what the heck, let me feed him too."
Danielle Morris, a 23-year-old Texas Roadhouse server, did not wait on the Lauriantis that night, but she saw what happened. And Morris felt compelled to offer encouragement.
Morris -- who breast-feeds her six-month-old son Brayden -- paid the couple's $45.52 bill and scrawled "Thank you for breast feeding!" on their receipt.
Asked why she picked up the Lauriantis' tab, Morris replied: "This is something moms do. I do it in public, and it's completely normal and natural. I wanted to be supportive ... breast-feeding moms, I feel, don't get enough support."
Laurianti, a customer service agent for a local insurance agency, has shared the restaurant story on Facebook, complete with a photo of her dinner receipt.
It's gone viral, with more than 6,500 likes and nearly 1,200 shares.

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - It's notable to mention first and foremost that Carolyn Thomas admits herself an "accidental teacher" - a zoology major who wound up working in the hotel and hospital industries before completing graduate work in education - with less irony than factuality. It's notable to mention, because Thomas was just profiled in the winter issue of TROUT, Trout Unlimited's national magazine, for her work at Wildwood Middle School, where there are at least 100 brook trout thriving in a 55-gallon aquarium chilled to 55 degrees in her science classroom.
"I think sometimes you have to make up all these idealistic plans," she said. "But it was always in the back of my head that I wanted to do this."
Thomas pioneered the project three years ago, first securing a $1,000 grant from Ecolab Foundation to purchase an aquarium, which she used to lead her seventh-grade students in raising brook trout - the state's only native trout- from eggs.
Article Photos
Submitted photo
Wildwood Middle School teacher Carolyn Thomas, who was recently profiled in TROUT, a national magazine, teaches her seventh-grade science students how to survey a stream in the quest to find out if Flowing Springs stream could support the 100 or so brook trout they are raising.
The following year the project grew larger. She attained a $10,000 grant, from Toyota Tapestry, and led the students in a research project aimed at concluding if the surviving trout from another 200 eggs received that year could thrive in Flowing Springs stream. Students worked in teams to present projects with their findings at the year's end, ultimately deciding the creek was not currently suitable for sustaining the fish the class had raised.
This year the project grew larger still - by two hundred more eggs and another $10,000 grant, this time from Dominion Educational Partnership. The research project challenges students to compare Flowing Springs stream with Washington County's (Md.) Beaver Creek, a former agricultural stream, a mile stretch of which has been restored to support reproducing trout.
"The idea is sort of to have a hook to a better curriculum that flows throughout the year," Thomas said. "Although sometimes middle school can seem very chunky, how do we sort of see a big picture when we're looking at little parts?"
Thomas has developed professional relationships with various engineering firms in fostering this project, which has afforded students more and more field experience surveying streams and recording data.
"One of the things that I think is really important is for students to interact with professionals ... to see them at work and to work with them," Thomas said. "To me, this chance to meet and work with scientists who live and work in our community is priceless."
While brook trout, which historically existed in Jefferson County, no longer frequent county creeks due to shifts in water quality and habitat, thanks to Thomas, who involved Wildwood teacher Caroline Moffat and T.A. Lowery Elementary teacher Monica Grabowska, there are three aquariums raising the fish, which, at the conclusion of each school year, are released into Redbud Run, a tributary of the Opequon, where the Trout Unlimited Chapter in Frederick County, Va., has a restoration project.
In addition to field work, a stream table in Thomas' classroom aids in the project's investigation, supplementing a three-dimensional model of a stream.
Seventh-graders William Liu and Steven Jenkins both eagerly attest to the agreeableness of their science class.
"It's been awesome," Liu said, noting his anticipated career as a survival expert.
"Every day we're learning something," said Jenkins, who feeds the fish during seventh period and plans to be a marine biologist.
Next year, Thomas said, the project will consider how climate change effects brook trout. She additionally hopes to involve two more teachers, creating a larger network of aquarium-equipped classrooms working toward the same higher understanding of science.
"I hope that everyday students are learning something new," she said "I want students to understand that science is everywhere."

BUT: If there had been some guy with a knife on the other side, just standing there, would he have survived? That's the question that recent events have raised; are our officers properly trained in use of force? In controlling the adrenaline rush from walking through that building and that door??

I had ordered the Leather Staff Bag and it was way too large. So after careful consideration ordered this one, but found it just too small. I couldn't fit in the planner or my sunglasses, and there are not enough cc slots and keys felt awkward in there. I took 8 pictures to give you an idea but can only upload 2. The purple was nice, not as bright as the web photos. But it did fit a small tablet, cell phone, hot spot generator, some hand cream, vitamin packs, lip stick, 2 pens. The cash handling areas are awkward to use in reality. I really wanted it too work and it almost did.

This bag is made of very nice leather, and it has appropriate compartments to organize my daily necessities. Although it is a bit small for my purposes, I was reasonably happy with it for almost three months, until the stitching that holds one end of the strap to the bag just let go one day, unfortunately when I was out of the country on vacation, leaving me scrambling to find another organizer.The stitching at the other end of the strap is also giving way.

Love this organizer

Smaller than expected. Too small for me to use as my daily purse. Well made and liked it so decided to keep it and use when I need a small purse for the evening or event and just need to bring a few items.
I definitely recommend this bag!
By Lacy
from Alberta, Canada
I love this bag! I decided to downsize from my much larger bag as I was having a lot of back and shoulder issues. This forces me to carry less unnecessary stuff, but it MORE than fits in all of the essentials - and everything is so neatly organized! I love not having to have a separate wallet! I think that the bag looks beautiful as well - the quality seems to be great. I can wear this on long walks and not feel any discomfort. If you love organization, I would highly recommend this bag.

Outstanding bag!
By Seacat
from Eastham, MA
I've had this bag for one year. Although I originally thought it might be too small and the color, plum, too bright, neither has been the case. It stores everything I need and the deep plum color is rich and beautiful. The quality of the leather and craftsmanship is superb. I love it, love it, love it!

My third Marley bag!
By Meemcat
from Clover, SC
I love this bag so much that this is my second brown one. I wore the first one out. I also have a black one. I love not having to use a wallet. There are plenty of pockets, slots, zippered compartments for everything I need. I also like that I can wear it as a crossover when I am traveling. I just hope that Levenger never, ever stops selling this style of bag.
A Light, Practical Bag
By BookPerson
from Providence RI
Sciatica has forced me to size down the bag I carry, and this Marley Crossbody Organizer has been the answer! I'm able to fit in all my necessities, including my Kindle, and the organizer really works. I took it on my most recent business trip, and it was more efficient than searching around for my wallet in one of my older, larger bags. The shape makes it fit perfectly on my hip, and distributes what weight there is evenly. And the plum color is handsome and goes well with my wardrobe. I'm a fan!
Looks Great,Really Works
By MadgeM
from Fremont, CA
I love this bag! It's small but holds everything I need. This purchase will be my second of the style, I couldn't resist the plum the first time, but now have bought Basic Black for an upcoming trip.The bag functions well for daily or occasional use. I have only a couple of petty complaints - first, the pen-holder loops don't accommodate the fat pens my arthritic fingers prefer, and second, the key(?) clip doesn't have enough play to allow easy on/off of a key fob. Someone with a bit more manual dexterity won't even notice either of these issues.
Levenger always delivers
By DrBeth
from Baltimore, MD
This is a lovely, soft, and roomy bag, made with typical Levenger high-quality leather and stitching. Ultimately, it won't work for me because it is more structured than I like and because the magnetic snaps don't snap together without maneuvering on my part--that makes it a bit too fussy for my lifestyle.I'm writing this review primarily to express my deep satisfaction with Levenger even though the bag isn't a keeper for me. This company delivers quality products, but if the product doesn't work for any reason, they always stand by their product and offer an exchange or a refund. The sales people are always courteous and friendly, and they offer satisfaction as their go-to stance. Because Levenger provides such excellent customer service and high-quality products, I regularly buy gifts for my clients and family from them. They have won me as a customer, and I always know I will be satisfied in one way or another after a transaction with them.

Mostly great
By lmjcollins
from Undisclosed
This is a high quality bag with a good mix of function and size. My only disappointment is that my iphone 6 (the smaller one) does not fit in either of the outside pockets. There is an internal pocket where it fits, but it's hard to get to quickly when I'm trying to answer the ringing phone. Leather is very nice, solid stitching. Levenger shipping charge was outrageous: $20 which should get you fast delivery at least, but no, it took a week to show up.
