The theme of our 2013 Woman of Distinction Dinner is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). In today's world, STEM is everywhere; almost every task and activity that we do requires some manifestation of science, technology, engineering or math. A 2012 study found that about half of all girls feel that STEM is not a typical career path for girls. Though girls are overwhelmingly interested in STEM, 57% of them feel that if they pursued a STEM career, they would have to work harder than a man just to be taken seriously.
Our 2013 Woman of Distinction honorees have broken the gender barrier, showing that it is possible for women to pursue STEM careers–and to pursue it successfully. This year we honor three women who excel not only in their careers, but also as community leaders who inspire their colleagues and our next generation of female leaders.

For more than 40 years, many not-for-profit charities in New York State have been required to get a financial audit every year – but they didn't have to pay attention to it.
They also didn't have to worry about doing business with one of their directors, even if the terms were unfair to the charity.
Now, both situations could change a lot, along with many other aspects of how not-for-profits are governed.
After years of scams, fraud, oversight failures and even corruption in the charity arena, the Cuomo administration and some legislative leaders are once again seeking to crack down on bad actors and carelessness with sweeping changes to New York's not-for-profit laws.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today will unveil his second attempt to overhaul the governance of charities and other organizations, with a bill to address financial abuses and poor management practices while making it easier for nonprofits to operate properly in the state.
The legislation comes a year after an earlier version went nowhere, and follows 11 months of discussions and revisions with state lawmakers and representatives from over 32 large and small nonprofits statewide – including Clotilde Dedecker, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo.
The state's top cop – whose responsibilities already include oversight of nonprofits – wants to tighten the rules governing how charities are managed, expanding transparency and strengthening the fiduciary accountability for officers and directors to ensure they're doing their jobs. He also hopes to rein in what many critics say is excessive compensation for some nonprofit CEOs and other top executives.
The goal is to prevent the kind of fraud, mismanagement and financial abuses that increasingly have come to light in recent years. Such scandals have seriously damaged confidence and eroded public trust in the nonprofit charitable sector.
At the same time, Schneiderman wants to modernize decades-old regulations, eliminating red tape, unnecessary burdens and costs, so it's easier to incorporate and do business in New York. It would be the first major change to the nonprofit laws in over 43 years.
"It's very important because the law has not been revised in about 40 years and it has been convoluted and confusing," said state Sen. Michael H. Ranzenhofer, R-Clarence, who is sponsoring the main legislation in the Senate as chairman of that chamber's Corporations, Authorities and Commissions Committee.
"This streamlines the process of allowing not for profits to operate more efficiently than they have been, and it also adds sufficient oversight and emphasizes the fiduciary responsibility of directors and officers. It does quite a bit from where the state of the law is right now."
Nonprofits are a critical part of the state's economy and infrastructure. Such agencies provide key social, educational, health and other services, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenues and creating one in seven jobs. More than 60,000 nonprofits are registered with the Attorney General's Office, which is responsible for making sure the agencies operate honestly, properly and on behalf of the public.
But nonprofits have also been under intensified scrutiny amid revelations of scandals involving embezzlement, fraud, misuse and waste of funds, and abuse by public officials.
Indeed, whenever there's an incident of public corruption in the state, invariably there's some kind of charity or nonprofit agency involved. That was the case with scandals involving Sen. Pedro Espada Jr., Assemblyman William F. Boyland Jr., Sen. Shirley Huntley and Sen. Joseph Bruno, among others, as well as former Ellicott Council Member Brian C. Davis in Buffalo, who was indicted for stealing funds from two nonprofits.
That's caused distrust among donors, who already cut back their financial support because of the recession and uncertain economic recovery. The combination left nonprofits facing financial, strategic and other challenges. So state leaders hope the legislation, which has support in both chambers and from nonprofits themselves, can address those issues.
"The law is not intended to address any particular situation. The law is much more comprehensive than that," said Ranzenhofer, who will hold three public hearings on his bill later this month in Albany, New York City and Rochester.
At the center of Schneiderman's effort are two bills he wants lawmakers in Albany to pass before the end of the session: The Nonprofit Revitalization Act and the Fair Compensation Act. Together, according to a Schneiderman memo, the two bills "would give New York one of the strongest legal regimes on noprofit governance."
The first bill would take particular aim at making sure a nonprofit's officers and directors take responsibility for detecting and preventing misbehavior, such as "self-dealing" or looting of nonprofit assets. For example, state law currently requires most larger charities to get an audit every year. That's filed with the Attorney General's Office, but the charity doesn't have to review the results, even after paying thousands of dollars to have it done.
Now, the board would be required to retain the auditor, not the staff, and the board would be required to go over the report with the auditor each year. Charities with over $1 million in revenues would be required to have even more detailed discussions.
Conflicts of interest, such as doing business with a company owned by a director, would have to be disclosed to the board, and the person who stands to benefit would have to recuse himself or herself from any discussion or vote. The board also would have to determine whether the transaction was fair and reasonable, and in the organization's interests. If not, the state would ask a court to unwind the deal.
The legislation also would require that all nonprofits adopt conflict-of-interest policies, and that larger agencies adopt "whistle-blower" policies. But in a concession to smaller charities, the bill no longer would require all 60,000 charities to file the policies with the state each year.
Also, the second bill would require that all nonprofits collect data on executive pay at similar-sized agencies, compare pay levels and make sure they're not overpaying their CEO. But most nonprofits pay so little that it made sense to limit that provision to nonprofits with more than $2 million in revenues or for the top five executives who earn at least $150,000 a year.
On the red-tape side, the legislation would simplify the bureaucratic process so nonprofits would have an easier time forming and getting approvals for key transactions. It also would update parts of the law that haven't kept up with society and technology, such as allowing charities to send meeting notices or vote by email, and even meet by teleconference.
It also would reduce needless dealings with state bureaucracy, allowing a new nonprofit to provide notification of its services instead of seeking pre-approval. That way, for example, the incidental use of the word "education" in incorporation papers for something other than a school or library wouldn't trigger a months-long review by the state Education Department.
Ranzenhofer said he was confident the current version will go through. "I believe there will be strong support," he said. "This is legislation that has been in the offing and has been worked on for well over a year. It's not a bill that's being thrown out there for the first time at the last minute."

Network Media Players Perfect for Project Playback
Create private channels for inter-office sharing, and use network media players at every terminal for simple access. Top brand names, such as Roku and Amazon, allow for near continuous use, letting you port video and audio through your company's Internet connection, saving you money on burning off hard-copy media and saving you time by avoiding long upload and download speeds. Choose standard options that deliver on-demand media from a variety of free and paid sources, or option for standalone signage players that broadcast a rotating array of messages or commercials on your retail floor.
Simple Connectivity for Easy Setup
Plug-and-play installation on many networked media players from brands that include Google Chrome and Samsung make setup as simple as plugging the player into your display via an HDMI cable and inputting your wireless network name and password. Operation offers control just as intuitive as setup, allowing workers to quickly scroll through menus to find the channels they need, and one-click channel addition installs the needed media while also making it easy to access the next time employee's require it. Handy adapters let you make the most of older equipment while protecting your equipment from potentially damaging surges.

BOSTON (AP) - A long-awaited plan to increase monitoring of the trawlers that some believe are damaging critical herring stocks has been shelved.
Critics say the trawlers dump large amounts of herring and also inadvertently scoop up and kill other critical species. But trawlers owners say there's just no proof of that.
In June 2012, the New England Fishery Management Council approved mandating independent monitors on each trawler trip.
Both sides predicted vindication, but federal regulators disapproved the plan last month, saying it amounted to an unfunded mandate.
The decision stung council members. Some said NOAA showed little interest in making things work and called its partnership with NOAA dysfunctional.
But John Bullard, the Northeast's top fishing regulator, says there's no money to fund the added observers and councilors should have known that.

on November 14, 2012 - 9:43 PM
, updated November 15, 2012 at 6:29 AM
A little over two weeks ago, a cold-hearted, cruel crime occurred when two Buffalo teenagers allegedly attempted to burn alive a Jack Russell terrier, yanking the creature three feet into the air, dousing it with lighter fluid and putting a flame to the puppy.
Seven years ago, another vicious crime occurred, when a 10-year-old boy watched as gunmen killed his mother, uncle and two family friends.
Wednesday, outside a Buffalo courtroom, the grandmother of one of the teens accused of setting the puppy on fire linked the two horrible crimes.
Her grandson, Diondre Brown, 17, has suffered from mental illness ever since he watched his mother executed in her Koons Avenue home in 2005, Robin Lynette Brown said.
Diondre Brown struggles with post traumatic stress and is in need of psychological care, she said. He has denied harming the dog, she said, and blames the other teen, 19-year-old Adell Zeigler.
Is there a connection between the two heinous crimes, seven years apart? Police think not.
"Does witnessing homicides give him a pass to do whatever he wants for the rest of his life?" a police official asked.
Sister Noreen McCarrick, a licensed social worker and former director of a Niagara Falls child counseling center, said that though she could not comment specifically on this case, the assertion that witnessing his mother's homicide could spur other violent behavior deserves to be explored.
"Also to be explored is whether the young man was assessed and treated in the intervening years. If he was not treated, it would increase the probability that the two situations could be connected," said McCarrick, an animal lover who has two dogs and a cat.
And Dr. Charles P. Ewing, a forensic psychologist and University at Buffalo Law School professor, said that it is not easy to link one violent act with another.
"It is very difficult to link witnessing violence to the later commission of violence," he said.
"We do know that people who are exposed to that kind of violence have a greater likelihood of becoming violent. Looking back, you often see this and it seems to be predictive, but it is not predictive. It simply raises the likelihood."
Both teenagers, authorities say, have been involved in robberies prior to the assault on the dog, which occurred Oct. 29 in a yard on Herman Street. Someone called 911 and city firefighters rescued the animal.
During Brown and Zeigler's arraignment on felony animal cruelty charges, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Albert said Diondre Brown has a reputation as a violent individual and Zeigler had recently violated his parole. Zeigler is also Brown's uncle.
Robin Brown insisted her grandson is not violent.
Diondre testified at the trial of the two men convicted of murdering his mother, Tonisha Brown, 26, and his uncle, Robert "Little Man" Brown, 40, the night of April 23, 2005, she said. The killers were sent to prison for life without parole.
After the two convictions, then-Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark called the Koons Avenue executions "a horrendous murder case, the likes of which this community has never seen."
"In this case, justice rested on the shoulders of an 11-year-old boy who had the courage to come forward and say what happened and the shoulders of a jury that displayed the discretion to weigh the credibility of his testimony," Clark said at that time.
But all of that, the grandmother said, scarred the grandson she is now raising.
"My grandson has post traumatic stress. He loves animals. He was upset when I took his dog away from him a year ago. We moved and couldn't have pets. His name for his dog was D.O.G. and they played together all the time," Robin Brown said.
"The only thing I know is that where Adell [Ziegler] is, there is trouble. My grandson met him at a home for troubled youth back in 2006, and every time Adell has come around, something has come up missing. The first time it was a pair of jeans, then a PlayStation and now he is trying to take away Diondre's freedom," Brown said. "Adell's his uncle, but I tried to keep Diondre away from that side of the family."
As she spoke outside City Judge Debra Givens' courtroom, Mayor Byron W. Brown, Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda and veterinarian Rebecca Wagner gathered several blocks away at Buffalo Small Animal Hospital on South Elmwood Avenue to report on the progress of the 16-week-old terrier, who is scarred with burns over 50 percent of its body.
"It doesn't make sense. This is a despicable, disgusting act. If someone is capable of doing this to a poor, defenseless animal, God only knows what else they are capable of doing," Derenda said. "They picked the dog up by its collar, three feet off the ground, and doused it with lighter fluid and set it on fire."
Wagner, a senior veterinarian at the hospital, said the puppy, which has been named Phoenix, has come through one surgery successfully but will need more.
"We had to amputate 60 percent of both ears and do skin grafts on his left armpit and lower neck. We're also trying to save his left hind leg," Wagner said. "I think he will do well, but I anticipate several more surgeries and it will all depend on his skin healing right and infections."
Wearing a small shirt, Phoenix appeared friendly, though shy, when a reporter looked in on him Wednesday afternoon.
"Considering all that he has been through, you'd think he'd be afraid of people, but he's not at all," Wagner said.
In noting that hundreds of people have called and written to donate money for the dog's medical treatment and to offer to adopt Phoenix, Brown said it will be weeks before adoption can be considered, but that people wanting to open their homes should consider the many other animals available for adoption at the Buffalo City Animal Shelter on North Oak Street.
Outside the courtroom, Ziegler's mother came to his defense.
Arkeyla Copeland said she spoke with him and he denies harming the dog. She also took offense to Robin Brown's attempting to place all of the blame on Zeigler.
"They were together and her [Brown's] grandson had a role in this. Adell told me he did absolutely nothing," Copeland said.
In court, Zeigler told Givens he plans to hire his own attorney.
Charles R. Katz, Diondre Brown's public defender, would not comment specifically on whether his client could have been psychologically affected by the 2005 slayings.
"Speaking generically, something as traumatic as that could play into both how the case is handled and in terms of any kind of sentence, if it is applicable," Katz said, adding that he will meet with Diondre.
Albert, the prosecutor, had sought bail of $50,000 for both teenagers, telling the judge that their crime was "heinous and debased." Givens set bail at $20,000 for Brown and denied bail for Zeigler.
Both are scheduled to return to court 2 p.m. Monday.
Anyone wishing to contribute to Phoenix's medical expenses, Wagner said, can do so by sending checks to the Friends of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. The address of the shelter is 380 N. Oak St., Buffalo, N.Y., 14203.

College-Wide Learning Goals
College-wide Learning Goals and eportfolios
The College-wide Learning Goals were adopted during the development of the strategic plan. The goals are integrated across courses, programs, majors and co-curricular activities. The eportfolio process allows a student to demonstrate their skills and knowledge relative to each of those goals. The goals are:
In addition to determining what the CWLG's should be, faculty have defined different skill levels related to each CWLG. These skill levels are designated:
The skill levels are defined in a rubric for each CWLG. Click on the CWLG to see the accompanying rubric.
In 2009, a group of faculty and staff developed a set of descriptions for each goal to facilitate understanding and use across the campus. The descriptions were revised in 2013. See below for the current versions.
Critical, Analytical, and Integrative Thinking
Critical thinkers demonstrate the ability to accurately identify a problem, question, or issue, and find and use information relevant to that issue. They analyze and evaluate assumptions, implications, and conclusions, and support claims with evidence. They make connections between disparate sources of information and when appropriate, integrate other perspectives and positions into their own thinking.
Creative and Reflective Capacities
Creativity includes a range of practices from across the disciplines. Artistic expression, innovation in business, and scientific experimentation would all fall under the heading of creativity. The creative process involves combining or synthesizing new ideas, practices, or expertise in original ways, and is characterized by a high degree of innovation, divergent thinking, and risk taking. The creative process includes acknowledging current practices in the field, pressing beyond them, and reflecting on the process itself in order to apply skills in new contexts.
Leadership, Collaboration, and Teamwork
Leadership, collaboration, and teamwork include concepts and practice which apply in academic and co-curricular settings. Students who excel in these areas demonstrate self-awareness, understanding of effective group dynamics, and project management skills. This includes a clear comprehension of the collaborative process and active participation in leadership.
Writing and other Communication
Communication is the function of expressing an idea to an audience in oral, visual, and/or written form to establish knowledge, to increase understanding, and/or to advocate for a particular position. Communication occurs in a variety of contexts in which oral, visual, and written modes may be used in individual or interactive forms. The act of communication, used in either a single or an incorporated form, emphasizes its interdisciplinary applicability while complying with the goals, values, and conventions of each discipline.
Global Consciousness, Social Responsibility, and Ethical Awareness
Global consciousness, social responsibility and ethical awareness includes knowledge of global issues within the contexts of both the international community and U.S. American cultural diversity, along with their potential ethical and social implications. By viewing these issues through the rubric categories of power relations and cultural lenses, students can work to articulate knowledge of global, social, and ethical awareness from the standpoint of its relevance to their lives. Furthermore, students should demonstrate the scope of ideas about diversity and global learning included in a Westminster College education, and describe the complexity of understanding between nations, cultures, and subcultures. Students might show evidence of their ability to explain issues (see list below), propose an ethical assessment of significant problems, and create plans to participate in solutions where appropriate. The ability of students to explain, apply, and synthesize these concepts should exemplify an understanding of global and U.S. American issues such as race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, health, environment, economics, procedural and distributional justice, international trade, sovereignty, religious freedom, human rights, sustainable development, immigration, and more.

Women's Tennis Ends Play At USTA/ITA Regionals
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Ball State women's tennis team concluded play at the USTA/ITA Regional Championships Monday in Memphis, Tenn.
The Cardinals placed five players in the main draw along with two doubles teams over the weekend. Courtney Wild and Courtney Earnest were the only two players to advance in the main draw for Ball State.
In consolation action, Kristel Sanders advanced to Monday's competition but lost to Miami's Alix Thurman, 6-3, 6-4. Sanders had made it to the consolation quarterfinals after defeating Eastern Kentucky's Kristina Labaja, 6-1, 6-2 on Sunday.
The Ball State women's tennis team will end fall play, Nov. 1-3 at Cincinnati.

It's the kids' spring break this week and we really have no plans. I wanted to do at least a little something special so we went to the zoo yesterday. (Here's where I remind everyone that it was 26 degrees in Chicago on our way up there.) But, we know how to bundle up and all I could see ahead of us was fresh, outside air. I didn't care how cold it was.
I was so tempted to save some of these photos for my April FOUR post but I am holding out for warmer weather. It has been known to happen on occasion.
A huge bonus to doing outdoor things in not-so-awesome-outdoor weather: you have the place all to yourselves.
We are still going to have fun this week but just no big plans looming overhead. I do hope to turn the playroom into Noah's room and transfer some toys down to the finished side of the basement (and hopefully transfer most of them to someone else's house via freecycle.) It will be Noah's first time rooming alone since he was a baby. (His request.) Carter & Gray will take the bunk beds in the boys room and we have BIG plans for Ivy to take over Gray's awesome firetruck bed. Did you get all that? Because there will be a quiz. Also, you know what this means? Time for another baby! JUST KIDDING.
Other than that, I'm not on spring break so I'll be working as usual and also putting some finishing touches on Listen To Your Mother stuff. Speaking of which, if you want to know more about my background in theater you can read my interview with Meagan Francis, Following a dream: a dedicated mom of four rekindles her love of the stage. Jazz hands!
Seriously. I was just kidding. Four is our magic number.

Violence in 'Django' historically accurate
I am writing in response to the Feb. 25 letter complaining that the violence depicted in "Django Unchained" was not historically accurate. It is true that the KKK did not form until after the Civil War; however, this group was, in fact, a reincarnation of the antebellum slave patrol, which performed many of the same functions.
The writer's biggest criticism is that the film's seemingly gratuitous displays of violence are also historically inaccurate. I can assure her, they are not. The testimony of former slaves is filled with accounts of torture, rape and brutality that would make even Quentin Tarantino wince.
I'll give but one example. Harriet King was a young slave in Texas whose sadistic mistress would purposely leave candy and other treats where the child could find them but would not allow her to eat them. One day, when Harriet was too hungry to resist the temptation and took a piece, her mistress called her to her side to ask if she took the candy. When she admitted it, her mistress punished the girl by making her lie down under her rocking chair and repeatedly rocking over her face, breaking her jaw, which never healed properly and left her unable to eat solid food for the rest of her life.
Why would this woman want to damage her "investment" in this way? Simply because she could. Unfortunately, the barbarity the writer complains of is not a figment of a modern-day imagination.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A term the Ying Yang Twins use in most of their songs, they even made a song called Hanh! on Me & My Brother. In the context it's used in the song 'Hanh!', it's used to mean 'no other' or 'a mother (see example 1)' also, in the chorus, it's used to mean 'wtf?!' I think, as far as I can tell, either that or it means 'nag' (see example 2)
1 "Nigga's stay crunk like HANH!" -Ying Yang Twins, Hanh!
2 "Think we ain't crunk, they think we playin, all around the world that's what they sayin' Hanh! (several different times)"

Hanh! is an expression to display excitement. It is a crunk word created by the Ying Yang Twins D-roc and Kaine. You would use it like in the club to let every one know that you are ready to get crunk.
If you play football with some friends, when you score a touchdown, Hanh! might be a word you would use to let your adversaries know that you are really into the game.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
While cell-service companies may argue persuasively for their pet technologies, cell-line optimization can proceed from several different angles.
Andrew Sandford, vp of business development at Selexis, describes his company as a "pure-play developer of technologies for rapidly producing stable, high-performing cell lines for bioproduction."
The company's rapid cell-line development technology, Selexis Genetic Elements™ (SGEs), are human DNA sequences that control the dynamic organization of transgenes in the chromatin. SGEs insulate nearby genes from the effect of surrounding chromatin, thereby increasing copy-number-dependent, position-independent gene expression. From a cell-line development perspective, SGEs increase the number of independently transformed cells that express the protein of interest, and promote higher levels of protein expression.
SGEs, which are found only in higher organisms, also possess regulatory functions that control the expression of many genes at a time. "There are thousands of these elements in the genome," says Pierre-Alain Girod, Ph.D., CSO. Not all elements work in every cell line or species. Selexis has tested SGEs that are optimal for CHO, HEK (human embryonic kidney), CAP (Cevec amniocyte production), and other biomanufacturing-worthy cells.
"SGEs boost not only the number of copies of DNA integrated into the genomes of mammalian cells, but the quantity of messenger RNA generated, and makes the integration sites more stable to long-term expression," Sandford explains. "Because of how these elements work, we can condense development time to 10 to 12 weeks post-transfection, from gene to a stable clonal production cell line." Selexis claims titers of between three and five g/L for optimal Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines, and between one and three g/L for their "bread and butter" unoptimized batch processes.
In addition to its cell-line development and gene-expression platforms, Selexis employs a cell culture platform based on high-performing CHO cells that thrive in basal media and a specially designed feed regimen. Cell development and culture components must be synchronized, Sandford says, to achieve highly stable, productive cell lines in three months.
After transfection, Selexis uses antibiotics to kill off cells that do not carry the desired gene and limits dilution cloning to isolate cells. "Instead of trying to find a needle in a haystack, we have a stack of needles to choose from," Sandford explains. "Not needing to engage in mechanical separation to isolate high-performing cells is a tremendous advantage from the perspective of throughput. We're not limited by the number of flow cytometry systems we have."
Lonza creates high-producing cell lines and processes for cells developed by customers as part of its comprehensive biopharmaceutical development services. Lonza's cell-related services include vector construction, cell-line construction (transfection and cloning), cell-line evaluation in shake-flasks and bioreactors, cell bank creation and characterization, bioreactor process optimization, and bioreactor process characterization.
Lonza recently introduced a new cell-line construction process that transfects and clones in the same step. The process, which involves direct cloning from transfectant pools using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), reduces timelines from transfection to cGMP master cell bank creation to about 19 weeks. "As part of this construction, we use a screening process that is relevant to the production process," says Alison Porter, Ph.D., senior science leader at Lonza's Slough, U.K. facility. "The screens we use in cell-line creation are therefore designed to partner with our production process."
The company's philosophy regarding production is to develop platform inoculum and processes that employ standardized media, feeds, and culture conditions with model cell line(s). These provide speed to clinic while retaining the possibility of further optimization.
Since 1990 Lonza says its product titers have increased 200-fold as a result of improvements in specific production rate, viable cell concentration, and culture time. "Expression system, vector design and selection, and screening all contribute to this," Dr. Porter notes, "but the major influencers of product concentration have been process conditions and the cell line, and of the former the design of media, and feeds in particular, have been of most importance."
Moving forward, she believes that host cell-line engineering will likely result in further advances in product concentration, for example by controlling apoptosis and/or assisting translation and product secretion.

Tony Watson's velvet left-handed shooting touch has been in sync with the University at Buffalo's offense the last three games, and it isn't a coincidence the Bulls have been victorious during his hot streak.
Watson and the Bulls (11-15) will try and make it four in a row at 2 p.m. (Radio 1230 AM) against Manhattan (10-16) today at Alumni Arena. There's a full slate of Big 4 games on tap today with UB, Niagara University and Canisius College stepping out of conference to play BracketBuster games while St. Bonaventure is on the road against Atlantic 10 Conference member Duquesne.
The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference-leading Purple Eagles (16-11) face Southland Conference-leading Northwestern State (19-6) at 3 (Radio 550 AM) at the Gallagher Center. The Demons have won nine consecutive games and 14 of 16. Forward DeQuan Hicks (14.2 ppg) leads four Demons in double figures. Niagara leading scorer Antoine Mason (18.9 ppg), who has missed the last four games with an ankle injury, is questionable for today's game.
Canisius (17-10) is on the road for a 1 p.m. matchup at Vermont (17-9) (Radio 1400 AM), which trails first place Stony Brook by 1½ games in the America East. The Bonnies (12-13, 5-7), who occupy the 12th and final spot in the A-10 Tournament, try and sweep the season series at 7 p.m. (Radio 1450 AM) against the Dukes (8-18, 1-11). A victory could jump the Bonnies into ninth place in the A-10 race. The teams in sixth through 12th place are separated by 1½ games.
On the women's side, UB (8-17, 6-6 Mid-American Conference) begins a two-game road swing at 2 (Radio 1340 AM) against Ohio (6-18, 1-11).
Meanwhile, Watson has been scoring at a blistering pace. He earned MAC Player of the Week honors after averaging 27.5 points in victories over Northern Illinois, Toledo and Miami (Ohio).
"Tony has benefitted from getting used to his teammates and his teammates getting used to him," UB coach Reggie Witherspoon said. "He's expecting the ball when he should expect it to be passed to him. Therefore, he's ready to shoot it more often when he gets it."
Watson, a 6-foot-2 senior from West Palm Beach, Fla., had never scored more than 19 points in 100 career games before he had 24 against Toledo and a personal best 31 against Miami. Watson's 55 points over the last two games are the most scored back-to-back at UB since Rodney Pierce scored 57 (26 and 31) in 2009.
"It's definitely clicking lately," said Watson, who is shooting 43 percent from three-point range for the season. "All I can say is that it's all due to my teammates. Those guys are attracting a lot of attention, especially Javon McCrea, and the guys are finding me when I'm open and my feet are ready and I have to pull the trigger."
Since last season on game days, Watson comes to the gym 30 minutes before his teammates and hoists at least 200 jump shots with a student manager. His shooting percentage has risen steadily from 33 percent as a freshman to 43 percent this season.
"Shooters have ups and downs and hopefully there are a lot more ups than downs," Watson said. "Right now I'm on an up and I want to keep it that way."
Watson had his down times, like during a five-game stretch in late December and early January when he shot 6-for-39 and the Bulls went 1-4. He was especially horrendous in a Jan. 16 loss to Kent State when he was 1 of 12 and the crowd at Alumni booed after each errant jumper. Watson's confidence never wavered.
"The coaches told me, 'When you're a great shooter things will start to fall for you especially if you continue to make your shots and stay with your form,' " Watson said. "I'm more wired into the game and I really don't pay attention to the crowd. The crowd is going to be the crowd and you can't let what they do affect you on the court."
Lately, the Alumni faithful encourage Watson to fire at will.
"I hear them after the game when we shake their hands and we actually win the games, which are better now," he said.

Racing stripes on a turtle?Posted Tuesday, August 16, 2011, at 1:44 PM
Purple & Gold Nikes-$140; BKE jeans-$125; Aeropostale Tee-$25; "pretty or custom" folders, notebooks, pencils that cost 2X as much as plain ones...whatever they are, are they worth the extra money? Do they make your child run faster, hit harder, jump higher? Do they make your child more polite, respectful, or caring? Do they make your child smarter, or make their handwriting more legible? I don't believe so. What I do believe is that it makes children think of their parents as less than parents and more as an ATM. In some cases, I believe that extravagant spending has replaced quality time.
What is it teaching our children about responsible spending? Even if you are a parent who can afford such spending wouldn't it be a better lesson for your child to earn at least half or settle for something more reasonably priced and donate the rest to a local charity?
There are places in this world where children go without shoes, food, clothing, water...what are we in America, teaching our children? That it's more important to be popular than to be giving? That its more important to look good than to behave? That its more important to have what's in, than to work hard and study.
Expensive shoes cannot replace hard work and perserverence. Expensive clothes cannot replace a kind word or a helping hand. Expensive school supplies cannot replace study time and instruction.
A dress doesn't make a pig, a princess. A hood ornament doesn't make a Hyundai, a Mercedes and racing stripes on a turtle don't make him a rabbit.

As the "baby" in a family of three, and with lots of older male cousins, I was basically raised on hand-me-downs. If I wanted something special, I either asked for it for a holiday or bought it with my own money, which I either earned or received as a gift. I don't see what's so wrong with second-hand anything. Heck, I'm 24 and still have a lot of hand-me-downs. For example, the only piece of furniture I paid for was my couch and it was $75 from Thee Garage Sale. There's nothing wrong with that. Kids need to learn that just about everything costs money. If they want something extra special, they should have to earn it.

And its all from CHINA showing kids that nothing is made here ,
What lesson is that ???
-- Posted by BRUSHPILE on Wed, Aug 17, 2011, at 2:03 PM
I see your point, but the same can be said of many things adults purchase for themselves. Haircut at a salon? Why waste money on something as self-centered as your personal appearance? Cut your own hair (or don't, then you don't have to buy scissors) and donate the $30 to charity each month.
Charitable donations, and the values behind them, are great. But a lesson that's just as important is teaching your kids about spending. Not giving them any other options is going to make those high-priced options that much more attractive when they can afford them. I've taken girls from another family school shopping as a favor before, and that father gave each girl a certain $ amount, a list, and the requirement that each thing on the list be purchased for school. If they wanted to spend half the money on expensive shoes, fine- but that meant getting jeans from WalMart. The girls had been through it all before and all three were wise enough to spread out their budget. They had enough left over for Dairy Queen at the end of the day. I can guarantee that those shopping trips left a much bigger impact than a parent coming home with bags of second-hand clothes would.
It is up to the parent to instill values in children. If you attempt to let merchandise do it for you, well, then you end up with kids who believe that pretty notebooks will earn them A's. These are the same children who may grow up to drive Hummers ;)

I taught my son how to bargain shop early on. Now as a teen he is a very good shopper,he shops at the name brand stores but looks for the red clearance racks 1st. he found jeans at holister for $25 each.
I personally do alot of shopping at Goodwill and stores of that nature. We need to learn to reuse and recyle.
I do however spend a little more on shoes and coats. I found out along time ago that a cheap coat isnt so cheap when the zipper breaks in Jan. and we have to replace it. Same goes for shoes, blown out $15 gym shoes arent so cheap when you have to buy 2 or 3 pairs to make up for one pair thats more expensive. Raise your kids to be frugal and it will last a life time.

Along these same lines, well not really, but sort of. My son just spent $700 on books for college at ILCC!! WTH?! Do the mafia have a hand in that racket? He spent $115 on a calculator because its the only that the professor likes?! Are you fricken kidding me?! Why can't books be rented or even shared? This is just another indication of our society gone mad. It is no wonder kids have such high debt coming out of college and can't afford to pay their bills. Something needs to be done. It's just insane!

LOL Leah! You think WTH now! Wait until he is done with the books and the school wants to pay him $100.00 for half of his books and the other half they say will not be used anymore and they will not buy them back! That is a real kick in the wallet :S
-- Posted by deweyh on Thu, Aug 18, 2011, at 5:30 PM
Leah, many books can be rented, and usually from the institution. I did, and so did my siblings. Some colleges even offer e-books, for a rental fee. I usually found that ordering used books on Amazon was cheaper than even used books from the college bookstore; now you can sell them back to Amazon to put towards the purchase of next semester's books. I also shared books for a few of my classes. There's nothing a professor can do to stop you from doing so.
-- Posted by notinia on Thu, Aug 18, 2011, at 9:37 PM
Thanks notinia, its too bad that knowledge is not passed on readily to new students. It is still ridiculous what they cost.
-- Posted by Leah Cauthron on Fri, Aug 19, 2011, at 9:00 AM
Like a previous comment, I've always given my kids a budget and if they want the expensive jeans, then it's cheap t-shirts.
As for supplies, my kids have reused folders and binders for years. Last year my junior daughter was using a plastic folder from second grade, which still had "Math" written in her 7 year old handwriting. She thinks it's cool. My son is a college sophomore using the the "expensive" back pack we splurged on in 6th grade.
Definitely check out Amazon and Barnes and Noble for textbooks. It's a little harder at ILCC, but at the state colleges, you can get the ISBN numbers from the school website and shop all over the web for the best deals. Our son got 3 textbooks at Amazon for $200 this semester, at the college bookstore we would have spent almost $500 for the same books. Ohh. . . Graphing calculators are that much, but if he is taking a lot of math classes, he'll use it for a few years.

Both men and women can enjoy double dildos and they can be used in both the vagina and anus. Simultaneous penetration can be extremely pleasurable for couples. Just keep in mind that it often takes a few tries and definitely a good sense of humor.
Double dildos can also be used for solo play, whether you use one end as a handle or engage both ends in both orifices at once. Just remember your sex lube when using double dildos; a good lube makes every experience better.

Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli are officially over.
The pair's divorce was finalized on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. They first filed in March 2012.
The split, which is amicable, gives both parties with 50-50 custody of their three daughters: Luca Bella, 15, Lola Ray, 10, and Fiona Eve, 6½. There is no formal custody arrangement, and the parents have funded a joint bank account for their girls. Both declined spousal support.
At the time of the split, Garth, 41, told PEOPLE she was "very resistant" to part from Facinelli, 39, to whom she'd been married since 2001.
"I didn't want it to happen," she said. "It took me some time to come to peace with it."
Garth eventually went on to date other men, and has most recently been linked to Big Gigantic drummer Jeremy Salken.
Facinelli has been seen with actress Jaimie Alexander.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
For decades, mammalian genomes have remained resistant to targeted modification and researchers have generally lacked robust tools for efficient and routine mutagenesis. This is not surprising as mammalian genomes are littered with large amounts of repetitive elements, some of which constitute ~21% of the entire genome.
If the human genome were more permissive to homologous recombination, the stability of the genome would be largely compromised. Thus, in light of this and other protective mechanisms mammalian cells have established for genome stability, the genetic engineering of mammalian cells has remained difficult.
In cell types where homologous recombination is naturally suppressed, methods have been developed to induce hyper-recombinant phenotypes. For example, phage proteins have been used to globally increase the rate of homologous recombination in Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
This technological advancement facilitated the rapid generation of a complete, genome-wide knockout library of E. coli strains, each lacking a specific gene. However, application of this or similar technologies is impractical in mammalian cells since a global increase in recombination would destabilize the genome through random recombination of repetitive elements. Indeed, such genomic instability is known to be associated with many human diseases.
The recent development of engineered zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) provides researchers with a technological solution to mammalian genome editing. ZFNs can be designed to generate site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are repaired by either nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to gene knockout or homologous recombination (HR), achieving precise gene replacement, insertion, or deletion (Figure 1).
In this way, gene editing becomes possible in a localized area without compromising the stability of the entire genome. Consequently, in the area surrounding a ZFN-mediated DSB, the rate of DNA repair can be elevated by several orders of magnitude, often increasing mutagenic frequencies from 10-6–10-5 up to 10-2 without global changes in genomic stability.
Such a large increase in efficiency has enabled the direct screening of clonal cells for mutations in convenient 96-well formats, without relying on antibiotic selection markers. The freedom from using antibiotic selection enables a new level of "surgical" genome modification such as the mutation of codons and the modification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
In the decades since the development of recombinant DNA technology, the exploration of gene function has largely relied on creating the desired mutations to protein coding sequences as cDNA harbored on exogenous plasmids. The modified genes are then shuttled into human cells and expressed from exogenous promoters.
Endogenous gene expression, however, occurs in a much more complex environment, reliant on exon-intron splicing and many other gene regulation factors mediated by interactions of 5´-UTR and 3´-UTR regions with control elements such as transcription factors and microRNAs. Additionally, the sheer size of many genes (20–100 kb and higher) makes it cumbersome to isolate and express them on exogenous plasmids with their exon, intron, and UTR structures intact.
The creation of targeted point mutations at specific positions on the mammalian chromosome has proven to be a difficult task, even when homologous recombination rates are elevated in specific cell types. ZFNs enable delicate, specific mutagenesis of single base sites in the native context of the gene, lending more biological relevance to the resulting data generated by targeted mutagenesis.
The ability to make such mutations enables a more rigorous investigation of SNPs, in which single base pair differences are associated with disease states. ZFN-mediated single base pair mutations have been accomplished at several different genomic loci using ZFNs in conjunction with a donor DNA containing the desired mutation.

Located on the corner of 13th Street and Eighth Avenue in Greeley, the space for Connections for Independent Living is bright and open, inviting volunteers and potential consumers to feel comfortable and welcome. For more than 15 years, Beth Danielson, executive director for Connections for Independent Living, has built an organization that opens its doors to those who seek help.
"We serve people with all types of disabilities at any age," Danielson said. "They choose how independent they wish to be or are able to be."
Connections provides skills training, housing, advocacy, peer support and resume building to its consumers, who may need help with a variety of concerns, whether that be finding housing or looking for a job.
Bob Caron, a retired rehabilitation counselor from Evans, is the president of the board of directors and Connections. Caron may be blind, but he enjoys playing the keyboard, and Caron wants to prove to others that it is possible to achieve the equality that people should be able to have.
"Having a disabled counselor shows the consumers that they can do something," Caron said. "It motivates them."
Connections helps about 700 consumers over the course of a year, and part of that assistance comes from the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund.
"The Empty Stocking Fund is really wonderful for us, " Danielson said. "It's for consumers who are actively making progress on goals they've set and may have hit a stumbling block."
At Connections, the Empty Stocking Fund, helped by the El Pomar Foundation, can assist consumers with basic needs such as dental bills, car repairs and utility bills.
Founded in 1937, El Pomar is a foundation that is based out of Colorado Springs and supports Colorado's non-profit organizations involved in health and humanities. El Pomar is the umbrella organization to the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund.
The Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund, which is a fundraising campaign that assists community non-profit organizations like Connections for Independent Living, is dedicated to assisting members of the community achieve their goals, so that they may live self-sufficiently. Last year, more than $90,000 was raised, and 100 percent of that went to the agencies selected. The El Pomar Foundation also matches $1 for every $3 raised.

New to C++. Can u please help me write this program?
Write a program for The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to calculate the registration fees for automobiles. The DMV classifies automobiles as type 1 for luxury or as type 2 for all others. The registration fee for an automobile is $35.00. If the automobile is a luxury vehicle, add a surcharge of $15.00. The DMV also classifies automobiles as city vehicles (class 1) or non-city vehicles (class 2). An automobile that is registered in the city of Metropolis must pay an additional surcharge of $20.00, no matter what its type. Your program should prompt the user for the luxury type (either 1 or 2) and for the city class (either 1 or 2) of the automobile. The program should display the total registration fee for the vehicle. Design the program to process any number of automobiles.
Re: New to C++. Can u please help me write this program?
Write it yourself. When you're stuck, post the code you've got so far and explain where it's all going wrong. Hint: try just writing the first part of the program and get that working before adding more features, for example try just prompting the user for the luxury type and displaying back to them what they entered (I usually start with something like that).

LISBON - U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson found himself in the minority when he voted last week against raising the federal debt ceiling.
Johnson, R-Marietta, said he voted no "because this legislation fails to address the main driver of our debt - Washington's out-of-control government spending," according to a news release issued by the congressman's office.
The bill passed the House 221-201 on Tuesday with only 28 Republicans in favor. It allows the federal debt ceiling to be raised without any stipulations, such as corresponding spending cuts or any concessions from the Obama administration. The Senate passed the measure on Wednesday and the president followed shortly thereafter with his signature.
The federal government's debt, which is different than the budget deficit, currently stands at $17 trillion.
Johnson, who is up for re-election this year, issued a news release earlier in the week reporting that he also voted in favor of the bill restoring full cost-of-living increases in pensions for younger military retirees.
A budget bill approved last year by Congress cut the cost-of-living increases for military retirees under age 62 by 1 percent below the annual inflation rate, starting in 2015.
"As a 26-year veteran of the United States Air Force, I strongly believe that military men and women deserve to receive everything they have earned. I will continue to stand up for veterans and I was proud to vote in favor of this legislation," he said.
In related news, Democrat Jennifer Garrison, who is running against Johnson, announced she received the endorsements of the Ohio AFL-CIO Executive Board and the Affiliated Construction Trades of Ohio.
"I am very humbled to receive the endorsements of these two statewide organizations who represent so many of the hard-working men and women in the state of Ohio. Growing up as the daughter of a union plumber, I experienced firsthand the benefits of organized labor," she said, in a news release.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

LOCKPORT – The Niagara County Legislature may vote Tuesday to urge the State Legislature to repeal the expanded gun-control law that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed Jan. 15.
The Republican-controlled Legislature had several anti-gun-control resolutions on its agenda that night, but they were all sent to committee, as the State Legislature's hurried passage of the SAFE Act made most of them moot.
Now, a resolution calling for the act's repeal is being presented by Majority Leader Richard E. Updegrove, R-Lockport, and Legislators John Syracuse, R-Newfane, and Michael A. Hill, R-Hartland.
The resolution says the state law "would appear to impinge on the rights of citizens" and also points to the lack of an exemption from gun restrictions for police officers.
There also was a resolution supporting more-stringent gun control, sponsored by Legislator Owen T. Steed, D-Niagara Falls. It died in the Community Safety and Security Committee on Jan. 30, as Steed did not attend, and no other member would make a motion for a vote.
Legislator Jason A. Zona, D-Niagara Falls, was listed on the paperwork as a co-sponsor of the pro-gun-control resolution, but Zona said that was an error by the Legislature clerk's office. He said he does not support stricter gun laws.
The only surviving resolutions from the Jan. 15 batch to make it though committee also are on Tuesday's agenda. One calls for a state law to exempt the names and addresses of pistol permit holders from disclosure, and the other denounces Cuomo's proposal to require all pistol permits to be renewed every five years.
Assistant County Attorney John S. Sansone said at the Jan. 30 committee meeting that he believes county clerks may deny Freedom of Information requests for pistol permit holders' information on the grounds of a personal privacy exemption in the law.
His opinion seemed to have been backed up by a Feb. 5 decision by the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court, which ruled the New York City Police Department doesn't have to give up pistol permit holders' information requested by the New York Times.
The court relied on provisions of the Freedom of Information Law that exempt material from disclosure that "would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy" or "if disclosed could endanger the life or safety of any person."
