I have listened over the past six and a half months as many individuals whom I deeply respect have expressed, often strongly and sometimes persuasively, their views and preferences regarding the future ownership, structure and operation of the Charleston School of Law. As is my custom, I have taken the time to conduct my own due diligence and to study the issue in depth. And, as I told our community earlier this week, I have concluded that the acquisition by InfiLaw is by far the best option to secure the future of the school that many of us have come to love.
Legal education is at a crossroads today. Law firms and other employers are demanding that new graduates be able to hit the ground running when they begin work. It is not like the old days where new graduates learned practical skills on the job. And graduates who are "practice-ready" will be attractive to employers in a highly competitive market.
InfiLaw has a strong track record of providing practice ready education, as each of its schools offers multiple clinics and a wide variety of externships. Legal clinics give students real-world experience, but also provide a benefit to the community as they represent clients who might otherwise be unrepresented. Clinics are expensive to operate, which is one reason we have not offered any at Charleston School of Law.
As the owner of three ABA-accredited laws schools, InfiLaw has the resources to enable us to offer a more practice ready curriculum, enhance our technology and improve our facilities. I met with InfiLaw's CEO to have a candid conversation about our future. And I came away firmly convinced of his passion and commitment to do all within his power to ensure a bright future for our law school.
But as important as financial support might be, I also wanted to ensure that we would have a good cultural fit. Having been a part of the law school since its founding, and having spent nearly three decades as a professor and senior administrator in higher education here in Charleston, I love Charleston and the Charleston School of Law - its people, its values, and its mission to have a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities. As members of my team and I met with our counterparts at InfiLaw, we were struck by how similar our schools actually are and by InfiLaw's consistent, strong and compelling commitment to employ their resources and collective energies to make a difference in the lives of students and communities that they serve.
My visits to two InfiLaw schools confirmed that, above all else, they are student-centric and have a passionate commitment to students, which has always been the hallmark of the Charleston School of Law. Like us, they regard the success of their students as their highest priority. The positive, open relationship between their students and the faculty and staff is readily apparent in the classroom and out and is immediately identified by everyone as the best part of their respective institutions.
As importantly for our law school, InfiLaw schools are not cookie-cutter replicas of one another. Each has its own distinctive feel, and the curriculum and programs have been developed by the schools themselves, playing to their own particular strengths, opportunities, and interests, rather than being imposed from on high. The schools regularly discuss their common issues and challenges and share their best practices and ideas, but ultimately the running of the school is the responsibility of each individual institution. InfilLaw recognizes that the personal-touch, student-centered, collegial culture that has been the centerpiece of the Charleston School of Law must remain at the core of our institution, because it is in many ways both our most important as well as our most distinctive asset.
It has been a challenging and emotional time for all of us who care deeply about the Charleston School of Law, but now it is time to move forward. I have asked members of the law school community and will soon also be reaching out to the local and state legal communities to work with me to help shape our future under new ownership. We continue to control our destiny and now have a partner who can help our vision become a reality.
Andrew L. Abrams is president and dean of the Charleston School of Law (www.CharlestonLaw.edu).

Costar Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson told Entertainment Weekly that Walker was an actor who tried to avoid the spotlight.
"That was one of the interesting things about Paul: his reservations about being in the spotlight and being a star, whatever the definition of that may be," he said.
"He was motivated by work that allowed him to take care of his family, number one, and that also allowed him the power and the leverage to help people in need and in crisis."
And while The Fast and the Furious was an integral part of his life, Walker's main priority was his teenage daughter Meadow Rain.
"It was always the number one topic we would talk about," Johnson said. "We would talk about silly guy things, his fast cars and my pickup trucks, or we would talk about the beautiful energy of Hawaii – but it always ultimately came back to family. And very specifically the beautiful and important bond between a father and his daughter, and how we both realized that over the years."
Walker's love interest in the franchise, Jordana Brewster, also released a statement to EW:
"He lived with integrity, humanity and humility and seemed most happy when talking about his daughter, Meadow," she continued. "I don't know anyone who lived each moment more fully and loved life more than Paul; making his loss all the more heartbreaking."

Another old bridge over the Rio Lima is the centrepiece of the pretty, historic riverside town – PONTE DA BARCA, the "Barca" part of the name referring to the boat that once ferried pilgrims across the river, en route to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Nowadays the Lima is spanned by a lovely sixteenth-century bridge, beside which is the shaded Jardim dos Poetas, dedicated to sixteenth-century brothers Diogo Bernardes and Agostinho da Cruz, monastic poets who were born in the town. Like the neighbouring Ponte de Lima, that's pretty much it, save for a fortnightly riverside market on Wednesdays (it alternates with Arcos de Valdevez), which draws hundreds of people from outlying hamlets. The only other time the small town becomes animated is for the annual Feira de São Bartolomeu, which takes place on August 19–24, with the big day on August 24; don't expect to get any sleep once the party starts.
Igreja de São Salvador
The many Romanesque churches of the Lima valley date from the medieval heyday of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. They are often simple in the extreme, though enhanced by animated stone carvings, with the most renowned example being the Igreja de São Salvador, in a small hamlet just outside Ponte de Barca. If it's open (it often isn't) you'll be able to see its interior frescoes, but even if it's closed you can check out the vibrant quality of its sculpted doorways, featuring birds, oxen, sheep, people, and even monkeys. The church is right on the road from Ponte de Lima to Ponte de Barca – you can't miss it.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
A team of Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers reported in Science Translational Medicine that a deficiency of a protein, RbAp48, significantly contributes to age-related memory loss, and that this memory loss differs on a molecular and anatomical level from that thought to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
To characterize age-related memory loss and potentially distinguish it from AD, the researchers explored its "molecular underpinning" in the dentate gyrus (DG), a subregion of the brain's hippocampal formation where memory formation occurs and which is thought to be affected by aging.
In conducting their study, the investigators examined gene expression in human postmortem tissue from young and older individuals in two hippocampal regions, the DG and the entorhinal cortex (EC), a neighboring subregion unaffected by aging, known to be the site of onset of AD, and part of a widespread neural network that participates in memory and navigation.
The investigators identified 17 genes that showed reliable age-related changes in the DG. The most significant change, they reported, was an age related decline in RbAp48, a histone-binding protein that modifies histone acetylation, thereby contributing to the control of gene expression.
The scientists also generated a transgenic mouse that expressed a dominant negative inhibitor of RbAp48 in the adult forebrain. Inhibition of RbAp48 in young mice caused hippocampus-dependent memory deficits similar to those associated with aging, as measured by novel objective measurements.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies showed that within the hippocampal formation, dysfunction was selectively observed in the DG of the transgenic animals, which corresponded to a regionally selective decrease in histone acetylation. Up-regulation of RbAp48 in the DG of aged wild-type mice ameliorated age-related hippocampus-based memory loss and age-related abnormalities in histone acetylation.
Together, they concluded, these findings show that the DG is targeted by aging, and point to molecular mechanisms of cognitive aging that could serve as valid targets for therapeutic intervention.
Eric Kandel, M.D., university professor & Kavli Professor of Brain Science, and also co-director of Columbia's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, noted that, "Our study provides compelling evidence that age-related memory loss is a syndrome in its own right, apart from Alzheimer's. In addition to the implications for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of memory disorders, these results have public health consequences."
Dr. Kandel was a recipient of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons, sharing the prize with Arvid Carlsson and Paul Greengard.
The study, "Molecular Mechanism for Age-Related Memory Loss: The Histone-Binding Protein RbAp48," was published in the August 28 online edition of Science Translational Medicine.

The elimination was sudden. The road toward it was painfully long.
The Buffalo Sabres' offseason will be, too.
Though three games remain on the schedule, the phrase "wait till next year" is ringing through Sabreland for the 43rd straight spring. The Sabres were officially eliminated from Stanley Cup playoff contention Friday with an 8-4 loss to the New York Rangers, rendering them an also-ran yet again.
"It's frustrating," right wing Drew Stafford said after the debacle, which featured five goals by New York in less than three minutes. "You can't pinpoint this on the one game. We had chances all year to get points."
They squandered them for a variety of reasons, ranging from internal factors of talent level and effort to external dynamics such as bitterness and atmosphere. Whichever reason fans, players, coaches, management and ownership choose, it points to another postseason on the sidelines — the second straight during an unacceptable slide of four of six and seven of 11.
A tumultuous season — which featured a lockout, the firing of Lindy Ruff, bickering between the team, fans and media, and more losses than wins — could lead to a tumultuous offseason. The Sabres might have changes in everything from management to players to their television and radio broadcasts.
Buffalo, which has simulcast Rick Jeanneret's play-by-play on television and radio since 1997, is expected to split the two feeds beginning next season, multiple sources tell The Buffalo News. Different announcing teams would represent MSG and WGR-AM 550.
Jeanneret has already said he promised to call every game for this season only, which will leave an undetermined void for the television broadcasts.
Meanwhile, the team needs to examine whether to retain General Manager Darcy Regier after another team assembled by him failed.
The GM, whether it's Regier or a replacement, will need to determine whether to remove the interim title from coach Ron Rolston or hire a new bench boss.
The GM also will need to decide which players should be part of the rebuild and how best to use the organization's growing number of draft picks.
Now that the Sabres have been eliminated, they have a lot of time to address those situations and a variety of others.
"If they want change, if they're [ticked] off, that's fine," goaltender Ryan Miller said of the fans. "It's not like we haven't been searching for a way to satisfy our needs to basically satisfy their needs. We just haven't gotten the job done."
As would be expected for a team that's won only 13 of its 45 games in regulation or overtime, the Sabres need help in various areas:
• They have just two players in the top 60 in scoring, with Thomas Vanek entering Saturday's schedule ranked tied for 32nd (36 points) and Cody Hodgson tied for 48th (32 points).
• They have scored 2.49 goals per game, which ranks 22nd, and have allowed 2.98, which ranks 24th.
• They are allowing an NHL-worst 33.2 shots per game while generating 28, which ranks 20th.
• Their power play was tied for 28th at 13.8 percent, while their penalty kill was 26th at 78.6 percent.
• Miller ranks 41st with a 2.89 goals-against average and 22nd with .912 save percentage, though he leads the league in shots faced (1,197) and saves (1,092).
The Sabres took Saturday off to regroup following the loss to the Rangers. They will practice today before hosting Winnipeg on Monday in First Niagara Center. The other remaining games are Tuesday in Pittsburgh and Friday at home against the New York Islanders.
None of them mean a thing.
"It's very disappointing," goalie Jhonas Enroth said. "It's a shame that we ended like this."

A Dacron graft is a man-made (synthetic) material that is used to replace normal body tissues. It is usually made in a tube form to replace or repair blood vessels.
The graft causes very few reactions. It is chemically harmless and easily tolerated by the body. When used in blood vessels, the body eventually grows a new lining to the graft that mimics normal blood vessel linings.

I was just curious to know... What are some good rules of thumb for
configuring swap space under Linux? For that matter, are there any
comprehensive guides or articles on the subject? When I used to admin
NT boxes I used to set their "virtual memory" setting to 1.5 times
physical memory, giving 50% over physical as swap. That was just by
convention, or, "rule of thumb". No great scientific methodology, it is
just what had worked for me and my coworkers for so long. Granted,
Linux is different.
On my box I have installed Ubuntu and moved up to the 2.6.10 kernel, if
that matters. I am presently running on two IDE hard drives, 30Mb
Quantum Fireball and 60Mb Seagate ST360020A. As it stands, I have 1Gb
of physical RAM and have two swap partitions, one on each drive and both
494.16Mb. Initially I had set up a 32-bit install on one drive, and a
64-bit (AMD64) on the other. I decided to go with my old NT convention
for grins, and give 50% over physical for swap. But since I have both
swap partitions available, I have both the 32 and 64 bit installs using
both swaps, for a nearly 1:1 phys:swap ratio.
Reason I am asking is because I will be very soon installing a 250Gb
Western Digital SATA drive. Long story on the old one, but short
version is it shot craps before I could ever use it. But now since I
will be getting all this breathing room I will of course be
reconfiguring my partitioning scheme. So given the opportunity I would
like to put some method to the madness.
One consideration, besides size, is location. This question goes beyond
swap space, too. How does Linux like to have it's partitions metered
across multiple drives? Should the root and swap be on different
physical drives or does it matter? If it is better to separate, which
would benefit most from "the faster drive"? Does it actually help to
split the swap amongst partitions on differing drives, similar to (yes,
remotely similar to) how striping speeds up RAID performance?
While I am asking, I would also be interested in suggestions with regard
to partitions and placements. I have been running 5Gb roots that include
my /var and /home. Most of my "media", including music, video, photos,
and the like I have been keeping on a separate partition that I mount
under /mnt/share. This way I have access to it from whichever root I
boot to, as well as making it publicly readable to my family's logins.
Not much needs to be kept private, and, well, I manage that when need be.
I think it would be unwise for me to make the /home directories be the
same between the two installs (32 and 64-bit). But I am intruiged to
know how far such a notion could be taken. Being able to have
Thunderbird and my GPG keys available no matter which I boot to would be
rather convenient. I could spend more time in 64-bit land. Right now I
must use the 32-bit install for that.
Lastly, since I don't want to tap you all toooo much all at once, I am
curious about this whole "chroot" thing. Since I have both 32 and
64-bit installs, is there a way to make my 32-bit root BE the chroot
under 64-bit? That would totally rock! I have zero experience with this
and am only sort-of understanding how it all works. I would like to,
for instance, just run 64-bit firefox and have it use 32-bit
libflashplayer.so. That, of course, being one of the very few things
keeping me on the 32-bit side 90% of the time when I would much rather
go 64-bit as much as possible. But I have heard that you can't have a
64-bit app call a 32-bit library. Okay. So then 32-bit FF. But then
that also means all the dependencies for FF and for FlashPlayer, right?
Well, then, at what point DO the 64 and 32-bit parts commingle? Would
32-bit FF run on the 64-bit X session? That, I could see. Or is it
some "xnest" type set-up? If it dose run on the display, would it talk
to 64-bit Gnome? What kind of crazy nightmare am I getting myself into
with this chroot thingy? Am I better off sitting in a corner, beating my
head against the wall? Maybe I should stop wasting my time on this and
use it more (!) effectively, writing pleas to Macromedia to get off
their corporate duffs and spend the, what, hour or two it would (should:
can't know with closed-source) take to do the damned port.
Well that's all the time my meter had, and then some. Thanks in advance
for the time to read me and for any help and advice. And apologies for
the cross-posting. You know, I have not seen any "forum guides" of any
sort come down the pike on any of these newsgroups for a few months. So
which Linux newsgroup is good for what sorts of linuxy things I just
don't know. I'd "RTFM" on these newsgroups if I knew where to find it.

Maryland's Circuit Court of Montgomery County has granted motions filed by the network's lawyers to depose Glassman, 22, Lindsay Lohan's dad Michael, 49, as well as Gosselin's lawyer Mark Heller, manager Michael Heller, bodyguard Thomas Meinelt and his talent rep Matthew Kirschner.
In October, TLC sued Gosselin, 32, for breach of contract, accusing the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star of making paid and unpaid television appearances without TLC's permission. At the time, Mark Heller called the action "baseless" and said the network "exploited, manipulated and abused the Gosselins' vulnerability and financial hardship."
Gosselin, of course, is in the middle of another legal matter – his divorce from Kate.
Lohan had publicly stated at one point that he and Gosselin were working on a reality show together about divorced dads.

In celebration of Ohio's first Vietnam Veterans Day today, Tiffin resident and Vietnam veteran Larry Bean recalled his service during the war.
Bean, 75, served four times during the years 1967-69 and was stationed in the country of Laos. There, he was at Lima Site 85, a top-secret location that housed a radar bombing control system that directed air strikes. Bean was a soldier who controlled the bombs B-52s would drop.
"It was too dangerous and too inaccurate to just drop from 30,000 to 40,000 feet," he said.

Larry Bean
Located on top of a mountain, Bean and his colleagues were sworn to secrecy, he said. They were out of uniform and even gave up their military IDs.
"My grandma didn't even know if he was alive," said Jennifer Hickman, Bean's daughter. "He wasn't allowed to write until he was given the OK."
Everything had to be hauled up the mountain by hand, Bean said, all the while watching out for mines that had been planted by previous occupants.
"We carried it by hand through a path that nobody veered off of," he said.
Bean, who described his experience as an adventure, said many of his fellow soldiers did not return alive from Lima Site 85. In March 1968, the site was overrun by PAVN commandos, or the people's army of Vietnam, and several soldiers were killed.
"A lot of them are still there. They didn't make it back," he said. "A lot of people were unaccounted for."
Bean said he will have a moment of silence today in remembrance of the fallen soldiers; he also planas to email his living friends to remember the Vietnam War.
"I think they should be remembered," Bean said. "People put their lives on hold to go fight for their country."
Hickman said she is glad Vietnam Veterans Day has been initiated and thinks it's important the veterans get the recognition they deserve.
"I think it's important. It was such a hard battle for them and a lot of people didn't support them," she said.
Hickman said she and her family are proud of Bean, who supports fellow troops 100 percent.
"My sister and I are extremely proud of him," she said.

Welcome to the "WPF/E" (Codename) video boot camp. These videos will teach how to create an interactive media player in about an hour. The training is broken into three segments: XAML Basics; "WPF/E" with Microsoft Expression; and Programming "WPF/E".
Together they provide a condensed environment that will allow you to quickly learn programming in "WPF/E"
Next we jump into Expression Design, Expression Blend and Visual Studio. These tools remove the need to write XAML by hand and show how assets are easy exported from one tool and imported to the next tool.

Multiplayer used to be all blood and violence, and it was nothing to do with Mortal Kombat. It was because multiple players had to be in the same room. This turned every game into a dual-level Master-Blaster Thunderdome: The controllers directed the video game battle, while our clumsy physical bodies flailed blindly at each other.
Kennedy Miller Entertainment
This is a pretty good summary of most video gaming.
Back then games weren't multimillion-dollar franchises. An '80s game was considered fancy if they hired someone other than the programmer's kid to write the plot, and the "game balance" was money they'd stolen from children by lying with the box art. This created digital worlds where players could discover more brand new dick moves than Adam and Eve.
#7. Eating Your Friend --Rampage
Bally Midway
In 1986, Bally Midway realized that most games were filled with giant monsters but still forced the player to be a wimpy human. That's half as boring as the real world!
Bally Midway
In most games you're the little green guys and having less fun.
Rampage turned three simultaneous players into King Kong, Godzilla, and a giant werewolf by replacing their fuck-giving glands with crystal meth.
Bally Midway
It's in the eyes.
Rampage was more directly named than most pornos, and more satisfying. You smashed your way through an entire city and army simultaneously, replenishing lost health by consuming wimpy humans, and when that health ran out, you turned back into a wimpy human. Which meant your human cerebellum returned just in time to understand why your ex-friends were chewing it.
Bally Midway
Looks like Ralph still has the canine anal hygiene thing going on.
Being eaten gave your attacker a tiny sliver of health but reset your score to zero. Modern kids won't understand "score," as the only numbers in modern games are how many times you killed your friends and how many bullets you have left to do it again. Back then interfering with a player's score was like interfering with a rancher's favorite sheep, in the back of their stolen pickup truck, which you'd crashed into their church. It violated morals they didn't even know they had while offending the rules of the universe. It turned a game about eating a city into a bitter morality play about the futility of war, starting a vicious cycle where they would eat you, and you them, and in the most destructive 69 in history you'd spend the rest of your lives making sure neither of you ever amounted to anything.
#6. Shooting Food -- Gauntlet
Gauntlet is another example of "Old games were directly named and hated you." It wasn't a game, it was an endurance experiment to see how much gamers would put up with, and the answer was "everything." The game set four players against infinity enemies in infinitely looping levels of a universe that hated you so much, your health constantly drained, even when nothing was happening. The only way to continue was to insert more money. It was the arcade equivalent of a highway robber. It couldn't have more clearly announced its intention to kill you and take your money if it pulled a gun, and we loved it. I still love it.
And it's still the closest I've come to a foursome.
Getting to higher levels was like Moses trying to part the Red Sea in a world where the one true god was Ra in a beard. You could only stave off death by eating food, and you had to shoot everything, but shooting the food destroyed it. Shooting the food was like pulling an all-nighter with co-workers to finish a project, waiting until they went to the bathroom, and then pissing in the hard drive. It might have been an honest mistake -- the new Mac Pro looks like a wastepaper basket -- but you've still screwed everyone. Shooting the food broke the spell of video games. We suddenly realized that the last hour of relentless paint-grind had been work instead of fun, and now that dick had wasted it.
Your co-workers, about to file an "unsatisfactory performance" review.
It didn't help that the game featured an early speech synthesizer that sounded like Stephen Hawking's computer suffered the same problems as Stephen Hawking's body. "Wizard needs food badly" told the wizard he was about to die, and all his imminently ex-friends that he was at his most vulnerable. It was a combination of schadenfreude, viciousness, and a subconscious understanding that you hadn't actually done anything fun in the last two hours. You'd shoot the food just to enjoy their screams. Then die immediately and outnumbered, and it would still be a relief to return to a real world where someone hates you. It wasn't co-op, it was Pyrrhic relationship counseling.
#5. Shooting Scientists -- GoldenEye
GoldenEye was the video game equivalent of the real Bond: good with guns and father of an entire generation of bastard offspring. At the time it was the greatest console shooter ever made, and it contained more Bondian dick moves than every Bond girl put together. Choosing Oddjob, selecting Caves, using proximity mines, randomly spawning closer to the only body armor on the map, and then acting like you were actually any better than other players -- it featured more ways to electronically screw people than the entirety of Q Branch.
Eon Productions
"With this pen I could kill a man, then please his wife. And I would never connect an unscanned laptop to a secure government mainframe, unlike certain idiotic pretenders to my name."
GoldenEye didn't just spawn the modern shooter, it pre-empted holodecks by giving lonely dicks something to do with their time. The game loaded levels with civilian scientists, told us not to shoot them, then gave the scientists guns and grenades because it knew exactly how much was wrong with us. It was like telling someone not to think of a pink elephant after giving them a pink elephant gun. It was a psychology test the entire generation failed. It's why every modern game is now a dirt brown gun in a ruined world.
"Hold on a second, I can make a red 'ink blot' psychology test."
You ended up helping the weapons scientists with their work, researching just how many bullets a human body could absorb. You shot them in the leg, in the shoulder, in the knee, in the "other" (which was the crotch and never not hilarious). It was reverse Operation, where you carefully inserted objects into a helpless body.
We had to kill him to prevent the Soviet Union from mastering flat-top technology.
Killing too many scientists failed the mission. Some people just didn't care. Other players worked out exactly how many they could kill on each playthrough and get away with it, which is actually way scarier. Players spent days bullet-prodding the scientists into blowing themselves up with rage-grenades, editing their greatest slaughter into a 10-minute video, and then uploading it to the world, because the Internet is a portal into human madness that makes the Lament Configuration look like a Rubik's Cube.
#4. Killing Your Friend -- Battletoads
Battletoads was a more blatant copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles than the second season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You played as Rash, Zitz, or Pimple, because we really were that dumb as kids, and their quest was to defeat the Dark Queen, because it's really easy to manipulate dumb kids.
And she helped them manipulate themselves, and was just as physically mutated as the giant talking animals.
Battletoads wasn't a game, it was a secret project to electronically destroy the human soul. The game was harder than a diamond strap-on and did similar things to you when you played with it.
Dramatic re-enactment of this game and your childhood innocence.
Either that or it was a secret project to trigger latent psychic powers, as that was the only way to get past the jet bike levels.
Unfortunately, they only rage-triggered spontaneous human combustion.
It was proof that kids would spend four months subjecting themselves to thumbscrews if that was what they'd spent their birthday money on. And it was jealous. It would murder your friendships to force you to spend more time with it, because friendly fire was always on. You had a better chance of staying friends with someone if you entered a Saw trap together.
This was usually followed by a real-life re-enactment.
Thumping each other was fun, but every Battletoad was equipped with the grappling equivalent of the double Vulcan Nerve Pinch: holding a friend or enemy above your head paralyzed them, while you could walk around the level, loudly wondering which instant death pit you'd cast them into. There was no way to break out. Wiggling your joystick might as well have been a euphemism for all the good it would do, and at least then you'd be showing them who could be the dickiest while playing together.

SILVER CREEK – The village will seek reimbursement for the costs it incurred to demolish a building on Central Avenue, Mayor Kurt Lindstrom revealed Monday.
At the regular meeting of the Village Board, Lindstrom said a letter had been sent to Kim Ramsdell, the owner of 207 Central, asking that he reimburse the village for $45,964, which includes $38,000 in demolition costs and administrative fees.
Anna Frederickson, a former trustee, said she understood the vacant lot was on the market for about $29,000. The narrow lot, which is the result of the building demolition, would allow for only a small building to be erected.
The village approved an emergency demolition of the building this summer when debris falling from the structure was determined to cause a safety hazard.
In other matters:
• Jeff Griewisch was named acting disaster coordinator for the village. Griewisch follows the late Richard Bartlett, who served in that role and as fire chief for the village.
Lindstrom said Griewisch and other local and county officials were prepared for storm damage prior to the landing of last week's storm.
Lindstrom said the local assessment of damage was around $20,000 from trees that fell and limbs that were broken by the heavy winds in the storm.
Village Streets Superintendent Ralph Crawford said his department has been removing leaves and brush for residents. He said that he hopes to continue paving projects for about one more day's worth of work.
• Village Police Chief Timothy Roche announced that the bans on parking on village streets will begin on Nov. 15. The overnight parking bans are established to help with snow removal throughout the village.
• A resolution was approved setting a new time for Village Board meetings. Workshops will be held at 7 p.m. and the regular business meeting will follow as soon as the workshop items are completed.

Pollster Barry Zeplowitz has lived all his life in Western New York. He says he never even considered leaving. Yet Barry Zeplowitz Associates surveys people who live across the country, specializing in political consulting and marketing research.
Zeplowitz attended Bennett High School before graduating from Amherst Central High School. He earned a degree in political science from the University at Buffalo. His wife, Penny Zeplowitz, served on the Amherst Town Board from 1991 to 1995. They have two grown children.
Zeplowitz does not like the spotlight. After 35 years in the polling business, he said he allows his surveys to speak for themselves.
People Talk: Have you considered running for public office?
Barry Zeplowitz: No. I have watched others run, and found my personality did not fit running for public office. I am not overly extroverted. I do not easily go up to meet people. I was not interested in legislation per se. The elements that would go into a serious public official were not things I was interested in. As a consultant, my view always has been that you have a goal, which was Election Day, and then it ends, and you move on to the next one. My wife was quite different.
PT: How so?
BZ: She was able to campaign. She was really into legislation, and quite effective.
PT: This must be your busy season.
BZ: We're busy generally all year-round, because we do marketing research in addition to political polling. We just finished a study of soybean farmers for the National Soybean Board, which we do every year. And I do a lot of projects for the Florida Agriculture Department. The most recent one had to with nutrition programs in the schools.
PT: Do you have competition in town?
BZ: There's probably a half-dozen people doing what I do, but I really don't ever come across them. I have my niche: timely, accurate, cost-effective results. We have worked on everything from presidential campaigns – we were the lead polling consultant in McCain's primary victories, and part of his polling team in the general election. This year we worked on Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry. We work in a half-dozen state legislatures in the country, from Illinois to Florida to North Carolina and New York. We did all of Mississippi's stuff last year.
PT: How has technology impeded your ability to get reliable data?
BZ: The explosion of people doing this work, and doing it differently. We do a live interviewer phone bank. You've probably heard of robo calls, which has become a big thing today. If you are a robo call interview company, you are not allowed to call cellphones. In a poll we did last week in Florida, we had 26 percent cellphones. If you can't reach that 26 percent, you've got a skewed survey, particularly to the Republican side, because younger [people] – more Democrats – tend to have cellphones.
PT: You're a Republican pollster. Doesn't that limit your business?
BZ: I had to deal with that my first year in business, before I was even doing polling. I worked for two Republicans and four or five Democrats. I had to ask myself: How could I know what's in my head, and work both sides of the fence? There's an inherent conflict of interest if you attempt to work both sides of the aisle. Some people do. I've avoided that issue just by staying on one side.
PT: How much do you charge for the average poll?
BZ: For a typical congressional race of 400 interviews, about 30 questions, it's $8,000. My competitors would get $12,000 to $20,000.
PT: What has caused you to reject a client?
BZ: Real simple. If I find I don't like them philosophically, or maybe their background, or if I think they would not make a good elected official. You reach a point in your life where you make basic determinations about what is important to you.
PT: What are some of the stranger issues you have polled on?
BZ: That's easy, particularly in the South. Two or three times we've had candidates who have gotten into some very serious social issues. One candidate was mooning young women out of his hotel window in downtown Richmond. Legislative leaders wanted to dump him, but we had to poll to see if people felt strongly enough. They did.
We had another situation in Georgia at a park where occasionally men tended to hook up. In this case, it was another legislator who claimed he was walking along, had to urinate but was arrested by an undercover cop for solicitation. They wanted to know if he could survive this. Again, he didn't.
PT: What has polling taught you about human beings?
BZ: Invariably, if I do 100 surveys about new candidates running for office, they will be shocked, chagrined, disbelieving and questioning the survey because they have this self-perception they are better known than they could possibly be. There's people who think they are so well known because they are in the newspaper a lot. That's one of the things I find myself explaining to a new client: Why their name ID is only 18 percent. When my wife first ran, her name recognition was below 10 percent. No one knew who she was.
PT: Some polls you conduct are self-sponsored. What issues have led to that?
BZ: Occasionally, we'll get a client who cancels at the last minute, and I have 30 interviewers strolling in. Instead of sending these people home, I will pull out of the air something I'm interested in. Living out in Amherst, I was interested in the village-town consolidation issue. And I did one on [former Buffalo Schools Superintendent James A.] Williams.
PT: Your interest in politics preceding your polling?
BZ: I was active in school. I was a Bennett guy until my parents moved out to Amherst. They would have had to pay tuition for me to continue at Bennett, and they were not wealthy people. My father had a wallpaper and paint store on William Street. I went to Amherst Central, but I was an outsider there. It wasn't life changing. I just got through and went on to UB.
PT: What do you do for fun?
BZ: That's a challenge I have when looking down the road at when I might not have a business. We have a sailboat. Travel is a six-week a year thing for us. But I don't have a lot of hobbies. During the spring and summer, we still have our roller blades. Exercise and working out is part of what I do. I don't play golf. I don't belong to clubs or organizations.

A NASCAR stock car driver and the son of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt. He won two consecutive championships driving in NASCAR's Busch series in 1998 and 1999. He has 18 victories in the Cup series and over 40 wins overall. His cool demeanor, modesty and charitable work are just some of the factors which have rocketed him to stardom.

I can get this way.
It feels like a fall day and I go inward and deep and as quickly as I open myself up I close the shutters tight.
Things are okay here. For now, just okay. .
Today Gray was upset I wouldn't let him watch something on the TV and he said you are my worst enemy! And I thought about how just moments before we were talking about how fun it will be to go see the dinosaur bones at the museum on Friday and maybe the zoo next week and how can he not like me so much?
Within minutes he was professing his love for me, and I sit here wondering if he treats me this way because this is how I treat myself?
I want off this yo-yo.
As a writer, I am held captive by words. Sometimes paralyzed by my own thoughts. I think until I can get myself to "more than okay", I need to be nourished and healed and set free by Someone Else's Word.
Things are okay here. For now, just okay. But with promise.

Buffalo's high credit ratings helped save city taxpayers $807,394, according to Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder.
Schroeder's office refinanced $7.5 million in bonds Tuesday that were originally sold in 1994 and were used to build what is now First Niagara Center. The interest rate on the bonds, last refinanced in 2004, went from 5.46 to 2.96 percent.
The city carries credit ratings in the "A" category. Those high ratings have helped the city save $23 million since January 2012, Schroeder said.

NIAGARA FALLS – Three dump trucks and a tow truck were heavily damaged by vandals who spray painted them, both inside and outside, broke windows and taillights, and poured salt or sugar into the gas tanks of all four vehicles.
The manager of Arthur Myles and Sons Towing, in the 1600 block of Ontario Avenue, told city police that vandals entered the lot sometime between 4 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday and vandalized the vehicles. Officers also noted that the all four vehicles were scratched by keys on both the passenger and driver sides.
Damages were not immediately determined, but estimated at well over $10,000.
The manager said he was not having any problems with anyone and does not know who could be responsible.

The Incline Middle School wrestling team kicked off the season this past weekend at Yerington, and brought home some serious hardware.
The Mountain Lions have been practicing officially for just two weeks and brought 17 grapplers to the tourney.
"These guys take this seriously," said head coach Jordan Cronin. "It may be just another sport to some, but when you step out onto the mat it is just you and your opponent. I must say all the guys stepped up, pushed past the jitters, and did work. I couldn't be happier as a coach, but that doesn't mean we don't have more work to do."
Sixth-graderJoe Wilderman, a first-year wrestler, and eighth-grade veteran Edgar Ponce both brought home silver medals in their respected weight classes. Four more first-year wrestlers, Christian Miller, Keenan Collier, Chris Alonso and Tyler Eimgh, also earned their first medals of the season.
"Just like I bet everyone was feeling, Keenan was nervous as can be before his first match, but once he stepped on the mat he exploded and didn't hold back," said coach Linda Cronin.
Miller and Collier each placed third at Yerington, while teammates Alonso and Eimgh brought home fourth-place medals
Chase Buergin, a team captain and veteran, turned multiple heads as he dominated most of his matches with ease and skill to earn himself a third-place medal. Another veteran and seventh-grader, Esten Flores, showed how his hard work is paying off by placing fourth at the tournament.
"Esten wants to succeed, and be the best. For those reasons alone he has a great chance in doing so. Can't wait to see how he progresses throughout the season," Jordan Cronin said.

Right, as I said in another discussion, how quickly people forget how much of a disappointment Hossa was in the 2009 playoffs, especially the finals. Also looking at both deals and the production from both players since the 2009 playoffs, the whole Franzen vs. Hossa comparison is a wash.

WAIKAPU - Some Maui police officers honored Tuesday for their work in taking drunken and impaired drivers off the road say they are seeing an increase in young people driving under the influence of prescription medication.
"A lot of the people are under the impression that because it's legally prescribed, they can drive," said Kihei patrol officer Mark Hada, who has made a number of such arrests during daytime hours. "Some of these drugs can actually impair you worse than alcohol. They're driving under a false sense of security that they're not going to get arrested."
Hada, who made 61 arrests for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant from September 2011 to September 2012, was among Maui Police Department officers recognized for their work by Mothers Against Drunk Driving Hawaii.

At an annual recognition luncheon Tuesday at Maui Tropical Plantation, the organization also presented a Top Cop award to DUI Task Force officer Dennis Arnds, who made 133 impaired-driving arrests in a year. A team award went to the MPD Traffic Section, headed by Lt. David Silva, which includes the five-member DUI Task Force and six-member Vehicle Homicide Unit.
Other awards went to Wailuku patrol officer Duke Pua, who made 53 impaired-driving arrests; Lanai patrol officer Ryan Ehlers, who made eight DUI arrests; Hana patrol officer Jason Thompson, who made one DUI arrest; Lahaina patrol officer Justin Mauliola, who made 25 DUI arrests; and Molokai patrol officer Miroslav Bashev, who made six DUI arrests.
A volunteer award was presented to DUI Task Force officer Rusty Lawson, who has worked with MADD to organize community events on Maui. Lawson also represented MPD at legislative hearings on the "Move Over" bill, signed into law by Gov. Neil Abercrombie in July, that requires motorists to slow down and move over when approaching emergency vehicles and tow trucks stopped for an emergency on the side of the road.
Wailuku resident Andrea Maniago, who has shared her story of losing her 16-year-old son in a car crash three years ago, was recognized as a youth leader and victim advocate. She received a volunteer award.
"We could not do our job if we didn't have you by our side," Abigail Nickell, executive director of MADD Hawaii, told the award recipients at the luncheon.
Assistant Chief Victor Ramos thanked MADD and sponsor Maui Toyota for recognizing the work done by officers.
"They know they have a direct impact on saving lives. There aren't many cases where you can say that, but OUI enforcement is one of those," Ramos said. "They're taking impaired people off the road, making it safer for everyone."
Arnds, who has been part of the DUI Task Force for two and a half of his six and a half years as a police officer, made the 133 arrests in a year when he was off work for about three months with a hamstring injury he suffered while making a DUI arrest.
Asked about his arrests the previous year, he said he made 260 impaired-driving arrests.
He said he is motivated by the thought that "maybe we can find these drivers before they crash."
Along with seeing more young drivers under the influence of painkillers and other prescription narcotics, Arnds said, he is stopping more vehicles for traffic or equipment violations and finding them operated by sober designated drivers.
"I'm seeing more people having designated drivers at 2 in the morning," Arnds said. "That's a positive."
He said he often comes across drunken drivers "when you least expect it."
One night, he was on patrol on Mokulele Highway when he arrived at a crash scene where a car had flipped over on the side of the road. Arnds was on his way to the hospital emergency room to check on the driver's sobriety when he saw a car in front of him swerving, then hitting and bouncing off the median as the car turned right from Mokulele onto Hansen Road.
Arnds arrested the driver for DUI, making it his second encounter with a drunken driver in a half-hour.
Hada, who has been a police officer for 15 years, said many newer police officers - including some recognized Tuesday - are doing DUI enforcement, increasing the number of arrests and hopefully helping reduce the number of traffic deaths.
Callers reporting suspected impaired drivers also have helped, he said.

5 Jokes That Make People in Service Jobs Want to Kill You
There's been a lot of talk in the news lately about raising the minimum wage. The Democrats seem to be in favor, claiming the current rate is too miniscule to support a family. Republicans counter that the free market, not government, should define the minimum wage, and that you're not supposed to be able to support a family as a fast food fry cook. Personally, while I see truth on both sides, the polarized version of this debate is beyond moronic.
I'm pretty sure most Americans will agree that someone has to have the crappiest jobs, and I'm also positive that, at least since the Great Depression, this country has realized that some amount of government intervention is necessary to police the economy, because if big business had its druthers, french fries would be cooked by children pedaling asbestos bicycles that generate the energy for the stove. What is ultimately deemed the appropriate minimum wage is a matter of math, so feel free to ignore the pointless political rhetoric until numbers are crunched.
"When I turn 10, they start paying me in real money!"
While I can't promise the average working American a huge raise in hourly compensation, I think there is something else we can all agree on: Lots of annoying customers deserve to die. Especially customers who make cliche crappy jokes over and over. Accordingly, until this whole minimum wage thing gets worked out, I would like to provide some relief to workers by proposing that they be allowed to commit homicides with impunity when confronted with these five jokes.
#5. "That's a Good Year!" (To a Cashier When Something Costs $19.37 or Some Other Date-Like Amount)
I once worked in a bookstore for a brief time, and my duties involved being a cashier. I have to admit, the first time I heard this joke, I didn't want to murder anyone. By the third time, however, things started to go bad. Probably because it only took me until my second week to hear it three times.
Here's how the joke works: You wait until your merchandise is rung up and hope that the amount of the purchase could conceivably sound like a year. It doesn't even have to be a famous year like $14.92 or $18.12. You'd be surprised how many number combinations work when it's your intent to tell a truly horrible joke. OK, so you wait for that number, and then you look the cashier right in the eye and say ...
"Oh, that was a good year!"
Get it? Yep, the price sounds a little like a year. That's the joke. What struck me as particularly interesting was that very often the amounts would be $19.30-something. Do you know your history, kids? Yes. The 1930s were the Great Depression.
Oh boy. Two Great Depression references in one comedy article! I know how to have fun.
So, yeah, 1934 was not a great year. Unless you had a lot of stock in suicide. Then you probably did alright. But hey, don't let nationwide famine mess up your zinger. Make that joke! And in the interest of fairness, when you extend your money for payment, by law the cashier should be allowed to nail your hand to the counter before setting you on fire.
#4. "Missed a Spot!" (To Anyone Mopping a Floor or Washing Windows)
This is a classic, right up there with telling cancer patients their "tumors are weird and ugly" and kicking puppies right in the teeth. Here's how you do it right: Wait until you see someone mopping a floor, or cleaning a table, or washing windows. It doesn't really matter what, as long as it's someone cleaning up after others. I mean who else but someone in the custodial arts needs to be taken down a peg?
Take it easy, Mr. Fancypants.
So first you watch them work (for your benefit), and then you point to some spot -- any spot -- and say ...
"Missed a spot."
Get it? It doesn't even matter if they haven't missed a spot! See, what you're really saying is "Even though I'm not your boss, you're such a lowly employee that even a stranger is allowed to critique your performance."
I've seen people do this, and not just in the movies. I'm not sure what they're going for. Are they hoping for "Oh my God, you're such a miserable bastard that I have to love you"? Maybe they're angling for the "Wow, I can't believe this guy just had the balls to go there!" Science may never know for sure, but one thing's for certain: When I'm king, any person in customer service who has to hear this "joke" is allowed to use whatever cleaning device currently at their disposal to scrub this comic's eyeballs and then push him blindly into traffic.
#3. "Thanks a Latte!!!" (To a Barista Serving You a Latte)
Here's a newer one, and it's specific to the coffee-serving industry. Did you kids know that Starbucks wasn't always a thing? Like if you wanted coffee you went to a diner or a deli and you got something that tasted terrible. Or you went to a swank Italian restaurant for your espressos and lattes. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm old.
See? You can count the rings in this cross section of my spine.
Anyway, having a latte is no big deal these days. Know what else is no big deal? Telling a hilarious joke when your barista gives you your beverage. And what is that joke?
"Thanks a latte!"
Get it? It sounds like you're saying "Thanks a lot," but you're not saying "Thanks a lot," you're saying "Thanks a latte," which sort of rhymes with "Thanks a lot."
Anyway, long story short, I propose that any barista within earshot of this comic gem has the legal right to remove the lid from the latte and throw the scalding contents in the customer's face. Once the jokester is distracted by the amount of skin sloughing off his/her face, the barista may then deputize all other patrons to kick the offender to death with no legal ramifications.

A proposed Altoona Area School District policy deemed by school board President Ryan Beers as a "dumbing down" of student expectations will be revised, he said Tuesday.
The district's "Student Evaluation" policy elicited seething disapproval from Beers during last month's board meeting, and Altoona graduate Jesse Ickes asked the board on Tuesday whether the policy, which exempts students from receiving percentage grades lower than 50 percent on report cards for three marking periods, was an effort to inflate graduation rates under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
District administrators, including Assistant Superintendent Mary Lou Ray, said the policy was established well before the law was passed.
Under the policy, the lowest percentage grade to be recorded on the report card in the first three marking periods is 50 percent. During the fourth marking period, if a student earned lower than 50 percent, that grade would be recorded on the report card.
Students have opportunities to retake tests to lift their grade if they earned a grade lower than 50 percent during the first three marking periods.
The policy is a burden to teachers who have to do extra work, and it sends a bad message to students, Beers said last month.
Administrators have defended the policy, which is technically an "administrative regulation," requiring board approval.
"We may have students not doing well, but if they see the light - if they decide to make a turnaround after a bad marking period, then they know there is nothing they can do. So, then we have behavioral problems or a dropout rate that is our concern," junior high Principal Lori Mangan said.
There are students who have a tenuous grasp on receiving an education because of family dysfunction, high school Assistant Principal Dave Bufalini said.
Beers saw their point but said they may be underestimating children's abilities to overcome adversity and achieve at a normal standard.
In October, the board approved minor revisions to the policy while agreeing to open it up again for heavy re-evaluation in the future.
"I personally have a problem with it as you might have known by my 20-minute diatribe last month," he said to Ickes on Tuesday.
"We will look at it."

Oops, something didn't work.
When I read "Delayed Loading on Startup" I was hoping for a solution of how to disable this on Windows 8 CP. Windows is installed on an SSD. With Win7 right after logon and ctrl+shift+esc I used to see CPU spiking at 100% and droping down right after all apps are loaded. Win8 completely different story on same hardware. There is 5-10s pause after logon and only then apps are loaded. Task manager doesn't show that either CPU or disk would be maxed out. Seems like Win8 just wants to tease me :/ Any ideas how to solve that? By the way these apps that are now delayed have shortcuts in Startup folder in start menu.
Gather the Boot Logging PML file and email the show (email@example.com) - we'll organize a large file upload site for the file transfer.
On the USB boot question many OEMs have a SATA function seting for AHCI to boot a DELL from a live CD or USB boot you need to change that to ATA operation. But remember to change it back or your C: drive won't boot.
Yet another great show. I was particularly interested in the relative links in Excel. Can this be extended to Connectionstrings? I have an Excel workbook which links to a master table using Microsoft Query. I would like to move the two workbooks to another folder or computer (both files in the same folder) but I have had no luck with the relative addressing in the Connectionstring. Any suggestions please?
[09:26] - Process Explorer displaying Chinese font.
what often helps is to delete the ProcExp settings in the registry. But please backup the settings by exporting them into a .reg file. mark looks for such broken configs.
[22:51] - How to delay loading apps on startup.
but, better check with xbootmgr/xperfview which tools causes which delays (CPU, disk IO) to look for updates alternatives.
xbootmgr can also optimize the boot by optimizing the Cache mentioned by Andrew. google for it.
27:20] - PC unable to boot from USB thumbdrive.
use this bootloader:
you can also try "Enable USB legacy support" in the BIOS, this was required to boot from USB stick on a laptop I've used some weeks ago.
[34:04] - How to disable Aero Snap.
in the Win7 Beta the setting for mouse and keyboard are separated from each other. So I could turn off Aero snap with mouse but keep it when using keyboard. Why was this removed and can it be added back?
