Staff Reports
LISBON - Nearly 69 percent of registered voters in Columbiana County cast ballots in Tuesday's election, close to the 70 percent turnout predicted by local election officials.
Approximately of 45,748 of the 66,703 registered voters cast ballots, or 68.5 percent, according to the county elections board. This is slightly lower than the 70 percent who voted in the 2008 presidential election and the 1992 record turnout of 72 percent.
The most striking statistic from the election is that 22 percent of voters - 10,076 - chose to cast their ballot prior to Tuesday by taking advantage of Ohio's early voting law.
The vote count will likely go higher because there are 1,030 provisional ballots still to be counted that could have an impact on some of the ballot issues that passed or failed by a small margin.
Provisional ballots are those cast election day but called into question by poll workers because of residency and registration questions. Provisional ballots go uncounted until these questions are resolved by the election board staff over the next 10 days.

PITTSBURGH - Emmanuel Sanders made the electrifying play in the Steelers' first victory of the season last week and punctuated it with a flip into the end zone that drew the ire of coach Mike Tomlin.
When Sanders sent the Steelers fans at Heinz Field into a frenzy on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens with another apparent game-changing touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining in a tied game, he didn't perform a flip but instead slipped and fell in the back of the end zone.
"I know, right,'' Sanders said when reminded about his flop. "I was getting ready to throw the ball into the uprights and didn't want to hit a fan in the face so I had to improvise.''

Will Allen congratulates kicker Shaun?Suisham after his game-winning field goal Sunday night.
The moment of awkwardness vanished quickly as did his possible 107-yard touchdown return. The officials gathered and ruled he stepped out of bounds at the Pittsburgh 37-yard line.
But his effort was the impetus for a Pittsburgh two-minute drive that resulted in a Shaun Suisham 42-yard field goal with no time on the clock to lift the Steelers to a 19-16 victory over their AFC North Division rivals.
The victory was the Steelers' second straight after starting the year 0-4, and the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens fell to 3-4.
"Nice win for us,'' Tomlin said. "It took contributions in all three phases, and it's good to get that type of result and under those circumstances. I think it's something that we can grow from positively.''
The Ravens had marched 73 yards on 16 plays in 8 minutes to tie the game at 16-16 with 1:58 remaining in the fourth quarter. On the game-tying extra point, the Steelers' Troy Polamalu was offside, allowing the Ravens to kick off at their own 40-yard line.
Justin Tucker's line-drive kickoff was fielded 7 yards deep in the end zone by Sanders, who hadn't returned a kickoff all season.
"I asked [special teams] coach [Danny Smith] what was the rule for me to bring it out,'' Sanders said. "He pretty much looked at me and said that you've got the green light. When he told me that, I knew in my mind that I was going to bring it out, regardless.''
Sanders cut to the outside and raced along the right sideline next to the Steelers bench all the way for a touchdown. But the officials ruled his heel was out of bounds at the Pittsburgh 37.
It appeared in television replays that the officials were correct.
"I saw in the replay that [the officials] thought my heel was out, but I was up on my tiptoes. I'll have to go back and look at it. It sucks because I wanted that touchdown.''
The Steelers offense didn't make Sanders' effort go for naught. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed a 7-yard pass to Jerricho Cotchery and 13 and 11 yarders to Antonio Brown to put the Steelers at the Baltimore 24-yard line.
The Steelers called a timeout with 3 seconds remaining, and Suisham connected on his fourth field goal of the game. Suisham has now made all 14 field-goal attempts this season.
"That's my job,'' Suisham said. "I'm happy that I did it. A lot of guys out there did their job tonight, too. It's a big win for us.''
The Steelers seemed to be in control for most of the game with rookie Le'Veon Bell rushing for 93 yards, and Roethlisberger completing 17-of-23 passes for 160 yards. Most importantly, the Steelers converted 7-of-12 third-down chances and turned the ball over just once.
The maligned Pittsburgh offensive line, despite losing right tackle Marcus Gilbert to a muscle injury and replacing him with Guy Whimper, opened holes for Bell and Felix Jones and held the Ravens' fierce pass rush to just three sacks.
"The credit goes to the offensive line,'' Roethlisberger said. "They did such a good job of opening holes. At the end, the last play, they were begging for another run. They were almost fighting in the huddle - the right side wanted to run it their way, and the left side wanted to run it their way.''
The Steelers took a 7-0 lead on a Roethlisberger shovel pass to tight end Heath Miller in the first quarter, and then the game turned into a field goal battle. Eventually, the Steelers gained a 16-9 advantage in the fourth quarter after a botched Ravens onside kick.
The Pittsburgh defense had gone nearly two whole games without allowing a touchdown before Baltimore's Joe Flacco hit tight end Dallas Clark on a 1-yard score to tie the game with 2 minutes left.
The Steelers had eight offensive possessions in the game and punted once, and the Ravens had just seven possessions and punted three times.
"When you get a game like that where you have so few possessions, you have to make them all count,'' Flacco said. "We weren't able to get in the end zone enough.''
The Steelers will try and build on their success when they travel to Oakland next Sunday to play the 2-4 Raiders at 4:05 p.m. The Raiders had a bye this week.
"There is nothing really to celebrate,'' Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. "Right now, we have to continue to move forward. We have to continue to stack the wins. We put ourselves in this hole, and we still have to get out of it."

Maryland's Unemployment Insurance Tax Rates to Drop
Many Maryland employers to see unemployment insurance tax reduced by 55 percent; State moves from Table F to Table C
ANNAPOLIS, MD (October 15, 2012) Governor Martin O'Malley today joined Speaker Michael Busch and Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Leonard J. Howie III to announce that beginning January 1, 2013, most Maryland businesses will see their unemployment insurance taxes drop. Improving the unemployment insurance trust fund has been a priority for the O'Malley-Brown Administration.
"In Maryland, we are moving forward. This progress doesn't happen by chance, but by the choices we're making together to build a strong, growing and resilient economy," said Governor Martin O'Malley. "Working closely with business, labor and the General Assembly, Maryland businesses will see a significant cut in their unemployment insurance rate - many as much as 55 percent. That's good news for all Marylanders."

When people talk about business these days, the image of a stuffy office with people working silently in boxed cubicles seems a bit outdated.
Rather, the age of networking, social media and progressive thinking is upon us, and the 2013 Mount Pleasant Business & Community Expo, presented by the Mount Pleasant Business Association (MPBA), is one of the best ways to get involved in the evolution taking place in your own backyard.
The expo was established in 2011. The doors open at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12, and plenty of vendors – from local eateries to financial planners – will be ready to greet you and share the goods and services they offer. Take your time and sign up for the iPad giveway, scheduled for 4 p.m.
You must be present in order to win, but you'll want to stick around anyway for the special speaker from Google. Happy hour is from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
"We wanted to make the expo more fun this year than it's been in the past," said expo committee chair Brian Sherman in a news release. "It was a great business event in 2011 and 2012, but this year will be bigger and better. One reason is that our vendors will be able to continue to do business during the happy hour."
Happy hour includes complimentary appetizers from local restaurants including Guadalupe Grill, Sticky Fingers, Jimmy John's and Raising Cane's.
Beer and wine will be on sale, and you'll be able to mingle with business owners and supporters to the sounds of the jazz trio Lyndsey and Friends. Earlier in the day, local radio personality Kelly Golden will be onhand.
"This is an event you won't want to miss," Sherman added.
For more information about the expo, visit www.mountpleasantbusiness.com/business-expo or contact Brian Sherman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 437-8817.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Admission and residence of researchers from third countries
The mobility of researchers is a key element in the acquisition and transfer of knowledge. Member States, working with the Commission, need to step up their action to facilitate the entry and residence of researchers from third countries. The European Research Area is the lynchpin of European Union (EU) research policy, and supporting the mobility of researchers is a key instrument in making it a reality.
Council Directive 2005/71/EC of 12 October 2005 on a specific procedure for admitting third-country nationals for the purpose of scientific research [Official Journal L 289 of 3 November 2005].
The purpose of this Directive is to introduce a special procedure governing the entry and residence of third-country nationals coming to carry out a research project in the EU for a period of more than three months. The aim is to facilitate the admission and mobility of researchers by relieving the immigration authorities in the Member States of the task of checking whether the research project is credible and whether the researcher has the necessary skills to see it through.
The Directive applies to third-country nationals, except where more favourable provisions apply under bilateral or multilateral agreements concluded between the EU , or the EU and its Member States, and one or more non-member countries.
However, it does not apply to:
- applicants for asylum or subsidiary protection or under temporary protection schemes;
- doctoral students conducting research relating to their theses as students (as they are covered by Directive 2004/114/EC on the conditions of entry and residence of third country nationals for the purposes of studies, vocational training or voluntary service);
- third-country nationals whose expulsion has been suspended for reasons of fact or law;
- researchers seconded by a research organisation to another research organisation in a different Member State .
Research organisations
Any research organisation wishing to host a researcher must first be approved by the Member State in which it is located.
To make it easier to access information, lists of approved research organisations must be published each year in the Member States. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, authorisations granted to a research organisation will be valid for a minimum of five years.
The Member States may require a written commitment from the research organisation, stating that if the researcher resides unlawfully in the territory of the Member State concerned, the organisation will be responsible for reimbursing the cost of the researcher's subsistence or return paid out of public funds. The research organisation's financial responsibility will end six months after the end of the hosting agreement at the latest.
A research organisation wishing to host a researcher must sign a hosting agreement with the latter, i.e. a legal contract whereby the researcher undertakes to complete the research project and the organisation undertakes to host the researcher subject to the researcher being issued with a residence permit.
Research organisations may sign hosting agreements only if:
- the research project has been accepted by the relevant authorities in the organisation after examination of the purpose and duration of the research, the availability of the necessary financial resources and the researcher's qualifications;
- the researcher will have sufficient monthly resources during his or her stay, including all-risk sickness insurance, to avoid having recourse to the host State's social welfare system. No minimum amount is set in the proposal, as the decision will be taken by the individual Member States;
- the hosting agreement specifies the legal relationship of researchers and their working conditions.
The hosting agreement will automatically end if the researcher is not admitted or once the legal relationship between the researcher and the research organisation comes to an end.
Research organisations will promptly inform the authority designated for the purpose by the Member States of any occurrence likely to prevent implementation of the hosting agreement.
Admission of researchers
Member States must admit researchers if they:
- present a valid passport or equivalent travel documents;
- present a hosting agreement signed with a research organisation;
- present a statement of financial responsibility issued by the research organisation;
- are not considered to pose a threat to public policy, public security or public health.
Member States must issue a residence permit for one year or more and renew it annually. If the research project is scheduled to last less than one year, the residence permit must be issued for the duration of the project. Member States may withdraw or refuse to renew a residence permit for reasons of public policy, public security or public health.
Member States may decide to award a residence permit to a researcher's family members, whose permit will last for the same length of time as the researcher's (provided that their travel documents are valid).
Member States may withdraw or refuse to renew a previously issued residence permit if the latter was acquired fraudulently or if it transpires that the holder of the permit did not meet or no longer meets the entry and residency conditions stipulated, or if he or she is residing in the country for reasons other than those authorised.
Member States may withdraw or refuse to renew a residence permit for reasons of public policy, public security or public health.
Researchers' rights
Researchers have the right to enter and reside on the territory of the Member State which has admitted them and to conduct the research project there. Holders of a residence permit will be entitled to equal treatment with nationals as regards:
- recognition of diplomas, certificates and other professional qualifications;
- working conditions, including pay and dismissal;
- social insurance as defined by national legislation;
- tax concessions;
- access to goods and services and the supply of goods and services made available to the public.
This new residence permit must also allow sufficient mobility for part of the research project to be conducted on the territory of another Member State.
Procedure and transparency
Member States must determine whether applications for residence permits are to be made by the researcher or by the research organisation concerned. Applications must be submitted:
- either in the researcher's country of residence via the diplomatic or consular authorities of the Member State where he/she wishes to conduct the research; or
- directly on the territory of the EU , if the researcher is lawfully present there.
The relevant authorities in the Member State must notify the applicant in writing of their decision regarding his/her application for admission or for the renewal of his/her residence permit as soon as possible. Reasons must be given for any decision refusing, amending, refusing to renew or withdrawing a residence permit. Third-country nationals have the right to appeal to the courts of the Member State concerned against any decision.
Member States were required to transpose the Directive by 31 December 2006. By virtue of Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocols on the positions of Denmark and of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, the Directive will not apply to those countries.
Periodically, and for the first time no later than three years after the entry into force of this Directive, the Commission must report to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of this Directive in the Member States and shall propose such amendments as may appear necessary.
Pursuant to the principle of subsidiarity, Member States have to settle matters such as what financial resources researchers must have in order to be admitted, the length of the residence permit and the option of adopting more favourable arrangements and extending the benefits of the admission procedure.
Entry into force - Date of expiry
Deadline for transposition in the Member States

Commission Recommendation on the European Charter for Researchers and on a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers [ COM(2005) 576 final - not published in the Official Journal].
Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, pupil exchange, remunerated and unremunerated training, voluntary service and au pairing. (Recast. [ COM(2013)151 final of 25.3.2013].
This proposal relates to a recast of two Directives (Directive 2005/71/EC on researchers from third countries and Directive 2004/114/EC which relates to third country nationals for the purposes of studies, pupil exchange, unremunerated training or voluntary service) into a single legal act. The proposed Directive has a broader scope to cover remunerated trainees and au pairs.
Its main purpose is to make it easier and more attractive for students, researchers and other groups from third countries to enter and stay in the EU for periods exceeding three months. The new Directive would:
- set clearer time limits for national authorities to decide on applications (e.g. a 60-day time limit for Member States' authorities to decide on an application for a visa or residence permit);
- provide for more opportunities for students to access the labour market during their stays (e.g. they could work for a minimum of 20 hours/week so they can support themselves and contribute economically);
- introduce simpler and more flexible rules for researchers, students and paid trainees to move around within the EU - important for those enrolled in joint programmes;
- provide for family reunification rules for researchers' family members;
- give researchers the possibility or the chance, upon having finalized their research, to stay in the EU for a limited period of time to look for a job or to set up a business.

Combining two words Ja - Me and Senka - shadow, we come to the translation that is "Me shadow" or "I am a shadow". This girl is extremely attractive and sexy, a bit crazy, likes to have a drink of beer, and like a shadow she is sometimes difficult to catch during cold winter days. But if you can make her your shadow, maybe she would never leave you, at least not on a sunny day
Ja = me, Senka = shadow
Jasenka = Me Shadow, I am a shadow

Chan Gailey called into question a report Sunday that defensive end Mario Williams was dealing with a torn ligament in his left wrist.
"I haven't heard anything about that," the Buffalo Bills' coach said. "I don't know where that came from, but I've heard nothing of that sort."
ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday cited a source within the Bills' organization in reporting that was the nature of Williams' injury.
"I had heard nothing about a ligament," Gailey said.
Williams had seven tackles and a sack Sunday against his former team, 12 days after being operated on by hand specialist Dr. Thomas Hunt in Birmingham, Ala. Williams had described the procedure as having his wrist "cleaned up."
Gailey said the team's medical staff thought Williams came through the game OK.
"The report [Monday] morning was it was better than it had been in weeks past the day after a game," the coach said.
The news wasn't as good on fellow free agent defensive end Mark Anderson. Gailey said he suffered a setback in his recovery from knee surgery and described his chances of playing Sunday in New England against his former team as "bad."
"He may need another procedure before it's over with. I'm not sure we'll have him this week," Gailey said.
If Anderson were to have another surgery, Gailey said that it would be minor in nature, keeping him out an additional 2-3 weeks, but not for the rest of the season.
Right tackle Erik Pears also sounds unlikely to play against the Patriots, as well. Pears missed his first game of the season Sunday following a hip procedure last week.
"They're telling us a few days to a couple weeks is what we'll need to figure out exactly where he is and what he'll be able to do for the rest of the year, basically," Gailey said.
The news was better for receiver Stevie Johnson, who suffered a deep thigh bruise against the Texans.
"He may not be able to practice Wednesday, but I think it'll be OK for this weekend," Gailey said. "It's very important. When you've got your leading receiver hobbled, it hurts your passing game. So to have him as close to 100 percent would be very important for us."
Johnson has experience playing through injury, playing all of 2011 with a torn groin.
Gailey said he talks once a week with owner Ralph Wilson.
"He's upset we're losing. Would you expect anything less?" Gailey said of those talks with the team's 94-year-old owner. "That's made very clear, which I understand. I am too. We've got to win, and our weekly conversations will go better."
Gailey also addressed the vote of confidence he received from General Manager Buddy Nix last Friday.
"Buddy's been very good to me," Gailey said. "We're working through trying to turn this thing back around for the franchise and for the Buffalo fans and for everybody. I appreciate it.
"I'm going to work my rear off no matter what to try to get this thing back where it belongs."

With the circus that's been surrounding Miley Cyrus lately, it's hard to separate the music from the madness.
But the newly released Bangerz – clearly calculated to forever blow up the image of Hannah Montana in the pop starlet's first album since splitting with her Disney label – actually has its own kind of craziness, taking you on a wild-child ride.
The bulk of the disc was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, whose hip-hop beats have scored hits for Rihanna, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz.
He accomplishes the unlikely feat of Rihannafying Miley on tracks like the summer party anthem "We Can't Stop" (in fact, originally intended for Ri-Ri), the Big Sean collaboration "Love Money Party" and "My Darlin'," which – featuring trippy vocals by Future – takes "Stand by Me" into space-hop territory.
This edgier Cyrus, though, is never totally believable as a B-girl or a bad girl (see "FU"), and even if you check your brain, the mindlessness of "SMS (Bangerz)" with Britney Spears just feels plain silly.
Still, Bangerz also packs moments of emotional power – whether it's the affecting "Adore You" or the No. 1 ballad "Wrecking Ball" – that hit hardest.

Dr. James G. Corasanti has received privileges to practice medicine at Kaleida Health facilities, the hospital system announced Wednesday.
Corasanti, 57, of Getzville, was released in April from the Erie County Correctional Facility in Alden after serving two-thirds of his one-year jail sentence. He was acquitted on all felony charges in the 2011 traffic death of a longboard skater in Amherst but was found guilty of drunken driving.
Corasanti applied for privileges, a request that was reviewed by the Kaleida Health medical/dental staff's credentials committee, medical executive committee and, finally, the Kaleida Health board of directors, according to Michael P. Hughes, Kaleida Health's spokesman.
Hughes said that Kaleida Health did not hire the doctor but that granting privileges allows Corasanti to see patients in the organization's facilities, which include Buffalo General.

Simplicity Parenting$17.00
Positive Discipline$21.00
Anyone can be a playful parent--all it takes is a sense of adventure and a willingness to let down your guard and try something new. After identifying why it can be hard for adults to play, Dr. Cohen discusses how to get down on the floor and join children on their own terms. He covers games, activities, and playful interactions that parents can enjoy with children of all ages, whether it's gazing deep into a baby's eyes, playing chase with a toddler, fantasy play with a grade schooler, or reducing a totally cool teenager to helpless laughter.
Playful Parenting also includes illuminating chapters on how to use play to build a child's confidence and self-esteem, how to play through sibling rivalry, and how play can become a part of loving discipline. Written with love and humor, brimming with good advice and revealing anecdotes, and grounded in the latest research, Playful Parenting will make you laugh even as it makes you wise in the ways of being a happy, effective, enthusiastic parent.

The New Home: It's Where Our Heart IsRachel Matthews
I sit and listen to the laughter, the sounds of happiness bouncing off the concrete, surrounding me, echoing all around me as I sit in the darkening driveway. The laughter washes over me and brings a smile to my face, tears of joy pricking the corners of my eyes.
"Yes, this is right. This is good" – The feeling I have while listening to them manifests itself into words that wrap around my heart, as it does I release the anxiety and nerves in one long exhalation and my whole body relaxes.
It takes mere hours for my children to be whisked into the gaggle of kids on our new street. The doorbell rings, the front walk littered with bikes and scooters, my children's eyes alight with hope, excitement and possibility. New people, new friends, new adventures.
A home where they can run out the front door and play for hours after-school, a home in a neighborhood where parents grill in their driveways so they can be around their neighbors, watch their kids playing for hours, and even join in with the kids tossing a ball, chasing a bike, pulling a wagon, blowing bubbles or creating artwork with sidewalk chalk.
My kids see a group of kids playing in the street and the only worry in their minds is if I'm going to make them change out of their school clothes before going out to join in the fray, and how long it will take them if I do.
I sit tonight and listen to their voices echoing and bouncing all around me, the laughter, the shouts of joy… they sink into my soul and bring peace.
I hear the neighborhood adults in the driveway next door laughing, joking, talking as they watch the kids play.
This is their norm, and our new beginning.
I sit on the tailgate of our truck in the waning light and tears of joy slip down my cheeks, and the laughter, the pure happiness of a childhood being lived wraps itself around my heart and I know.
We are home.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marsea Lots of Family Fun This is a wonderful "first" board game experience for our grandson. He has enjoyed it immensely and wants to play again and again. Uncle Wiggily and the other characters are charming and the game has interesting twists with "rabbit holes" and backwards moves. There is one set of cards, which differs from the classic game that we had as kids, but it is still a pleasure to play for everyone. Having to draw the card with the exact number needed to win, seemed very exciting to our little guy. The game was packaged well and arrived on time. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by b.roberts delightful I had purchased this for my daughter years ago since I loved it as a child, but it was ruined in Hurricane Sandy, even at 11 she was so upset- found it again for her and was thrilled to see it under the tree! January 4, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5Â by vintagedrifter fond memories I bought this game for two young girls. It seemed like a nice change of pace to introduce a board game for them to interact with others instead of everyone using a electronic device. Although I have not seen the game in years, it was a favorite when I was younger. It was warmly received. January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Squeek Bringing back special memories I bought this game for the little girl that I baby sat when she was just a baby. How I found you was you had sent me one of you catalogs. As I looked through many memories from my own childhood ran through my head! I played the Uncle Wiggly game back in the early 1950's. I kept the game for many years and my own daughter played it. I also had the book for many years, its now in tatters Looking though your catalog brought back memories of my childhood and 1960's teen years. I was born in 1946.

Dear Miss Manners: When sitting in a sports bar during the Super Bowl at the time the singing of the national anthem is broadcast on TV, is it proper for the patrons to sit or stand? Or is either response proper?
Gentle Reader: If the rule of standing for the national anthem applied to recorded renditions, listening to the game on the radio while driving would be fatal.
However, Miss Manners would also like to prevent accidents in bars. She must therefore warn you about the Patriotic Police, who can be extremely belligerent about enforcing respect for the anthem and flag, even when they are not fully conversant with the rules. So if others get off their bar stools, and perhaps put their hands on their hearts, you may want to do so, too.
Clarifying RSVP
Dear Miss Manners: It seems inconsiderate to me when people RSVP to dinner invitations by saying they will come "if I can," or "I'll call an hour before to let you know whether I can make it," when what I have needed is an accurate head count some days before the event.
Now I find myself in the shoes of my rude invitees, that is, wishing to accept but uncertain, for reasons beyond my control, whether I can make good on the commitment.
What is the proper response? My inclination is to decline rather than find myself having to withdraw at the last minute.
Gentle Reader: Remember when you were a child and did something unkind, and your mother said, "How would you feel if he did that to you?"
You were supposed to conclude that if you wouldn't like this done to you, you should not do it to other people. Thus having discovered the Golden Rule for yourself, you were then supposed to use it to govern your conduct in general.
That is why your inclination is to decline an invitation that you may not be able to accept. Miss Manners suggests that you follow that inclination.
If you decline while explaining the circumstances, your host may or may not grant you an exception and say that you can defer the response.
Cutting in line
Dear Miss Manners: How do I properly address someone who cut the line in front of me?
Gentle Reader: As "Sir" or "Madam," continuing with, "I believe that the end of the line is over there."
Miss Manners doesn't want to know what you were thinking of saying, but you will only incite worse behavior unless you give the breaker-in a dignified way to retreat.
Help with cleanup
Dear Miss Manners: My husband feels it is poor manners to expect the family to help with the cleanup after a big holiday meal. They are all adults, and I have done all the cooking entirely by myself.
They have never objected, but after more than 50 years, he has decided to make an issue of this.
Gentle Reader: Please tell him that Miss Manners congratulates him for sparing all his relatives, you above all, by volunteering – albeit belatedly – to do all the cleaning up alone.
A health query
Dear Miss Manners: I have a male friend whose family I don't know and have never met.
My male friend has just been hospitalized, and I don't know why. Is it appropriate to ask the family member whom he is in contact with what happened?
Gentle Reader: No, but you can get them to tell you.
Not everyone wants his or her medical history to be spread around, as that has a tendency to attract unsolicited advice.
To indicate concern, rather than curiosity, Miss Manners advises that you not ask what happened, but instead confess that you have been worried about your friend and hope to hear that he will be all right.

Third person identified in Mercer County fatal crash

Thomas' car was pushed over a guard rail and 63 feet off the berm, police said.
Neubert was taken to UPMC Horizon hospital in Greenville, where he was pronounced dead.

No Excuses
Vic Johnson replayed a touching story about six-year-old Reece Holloway, that was featured on CNN. Reece was born without a left hand but discovered his passion for baseball at a very young age. Reece is already inherently living his life without the limits of his left hand and it's amazing to see how encouraging his parents have been to never remind him of his potential handicap. As a result, Reece can do just about everything but tie his own shoes. Check out Johnson's post and watch the video below: http://www.vicjohnson.com

Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to delete two provisions of the regulation that are outdated, and to add a requirement that applicants

This requirement will insure that applicants have current information in the areas covered by the prelicensing course before
they begin providing real estate brokerage services.
Comparison to Federal Standards
There is no corresponding federal standard to this proposed action.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. An applicant who does not pass the real estate salespersons licensing examination within 1 year
of completing a prelicensing course will be required to take a new course. The cost of that course ranges from $99 to $250.
III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from
Section II.)
F. An applicant who does not pass the licensing examination within 1 year of completion of a prelicensing course must retake that
course. The cost of a prelicensing course ranges from $99 to $250. There will be no additional costs for applicants who successfully
complete the examination within the required time period.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.
Opportunity for Public Comment

G. Completion of Examination.
(1) Subject to §G(2) and (3) of this regulation, an applicant for
a salespersons license shall have 1 year from completion of a prelicensing education course to pass both portions of the
salesperson licensing examination. An applicant who does not pass both portions of the licensing examination within 1 year of the course
completion date must complete a new prelicensing course in order to be eligible to take or retake the examination.
(2) An applicant who has completed a prelicensing course
more than 1 year prior to March 1, 2013, must pass both portions of the salesperson licensing examination no later than August 31, 2013,
in order to avoid the need to complete a new prelicensing course.

May 12, 1947 - June 11, 2013
A Clarence lawyer has died from injuries suffered during an accident while bicycling in Europe.
Arthur F. Dobson Jr., 66, died Tuesday at a hospital in Izola, Slovenia, where the accident occurred a week earlier on June 4.
Mr. Dobson and three friends were on their second day of riding, when he was ejected from his bike while trying to avoid a car that cut in front of him, his daughter, Allison, told The Buffalo News on Wednesday.
The group of friends has been taking an annual bicycling trip to different locations around the world for the past several years, she said.
While friends and family are mourning the death, Allison Dobson said her father died in a beautiful part of the world among friends while doing what he loved.
"We don't believe he felt any pain," she said, "and we know he is at peace."
Mr. Dobson was born in New Jersey and came to the Buffalo area when his parents moved to Orchard Park while he was in college.
In 1969, he graduated from Notre Dame, where he would meet his future wife, Nancy, on a blind date. The couple married on June 20, 1970.
Mr. Dobson graduated from the University at Buffalo Law School in 1972 and worked in private practice over the years, most recently at Michalak & Dobson.

I've always wanted to be a flight attendant. When I was little, I would fly with my family. The flight attendants were always really friendly, and that sparked my interest. The job was so glamorous – flight attendants get to dress nicely, travel all over and meet lots of interesting people. I wanted to travel the world and get paid for it.
Fast forward a few years and I was working the front desk at one of the hotels that ExpressJet flight crews would stay at in Destin. I would see the crews come in and I'd hear all about their travels. I loved getting to meet these pilots and flight attendants. I decided it was the right time in my life and I applied to join them.
I interviewed and was selected to become an ExpressJet flight attendant. My training class began Feb. 4, 2013.
I went through weeks of training: the anxiety of test days, hours of studying potentially life-saving information, memorizing airport codes and making some great friends in the process. Every Friday night, we would relax together and study for the next week.
On the last Friday, we had finished all our classes and everyone had passed the final. We went out to celebrate together for the last time before graduation. After a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant, we were walking back to the training hotel when my life changed.
I was walking ahead of the group and was crossing the street at the crosswalk. I didn't see the car coming. I don't remember much of the accident, but luckily I was with a group of friends and their emergency training went into good use. One called the ambulance, one called my mom and the rest were collecting jackets to keep me warm and keep me from going into shock.
Luckily, we had just finished training for this type of situation. They were talking to me to keep me stable and awake; one friend was holding my head. Rose Branda and Erin Botti, now ExpressJet flight attendants and friends, rode in the ambulance with me and stayed at the hospital all night, keeping my spirits up and my mother updated (she was at home in Florida).
ExpressJet flew my mom out to stay with me. I was in the hospital for five days. I had some great doctors and they let me out the night before my class's flight attendant graduation. My accident wasn't going to stop me from attending graduation. I knew I would never forgive myself if I didn't get to support my friends as much as they had supported me. I went to graduation in a wheelchair to congratulate them – they all deserved it!
The recovery process took about five months and ExpressJet asked if I was ready to come back to training. I talked with my doctor about my goal of returning to training in August and I worked really hard to achieve it. I was able to go back to training in August 2013 to finally become a flight attendant.
The second time through training, I wasn't as nervous as the first time around. I helped the others in my class study, calmed them when they were anxious and promised them that they'd get through it. I graduated valedictorian and my classmates gave me the superlative award for "most supportive."
On graduation day, I was proud to finally walk across the stage as an official flight attendant. ExpressJet's vice president of People Resources attended personally and gave me a huge hug and congratulations. My instructor Enrique Oriol had the honor of pinning on my wings, and my other original instructors Valetta Wright and Ernesto Ros came to support me as well – everyone was very happy.
I've been on the job now for almost three months, based in Dulles, Va. It's been a huge culture shock to move to such a big city, but I love it. I've met some great people and have worked with amazing crews. It's fun to be in a different city every night and get to see things that not everyone gets to experience.
The airline industry is very different than how I thought when I was younger, and I'm different after my experience, but it's still glamorous. I look forward to every day that I go to work.

An alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor accounts for the rye mutant phenotype. The expression pattern of redeye appears in green. [Amita Sehgal, Ph.D., and Mi Shi, Ph.D., Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; eLife]
Sleep—an inspiration to poets and scientists alike—moved Shakespeare to write:
Sometimes a thousand twangling instrumentsWill hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep,Will make me sleep again
Scientists look at sleep's onset, duration, and return more mechanistically. For years, they have been trying to work out the details of a two-process model of sleep. One process, the circadian clock, controls the onset and offset of sleep; the other process, the sleep homeostat, regulates sleep duration based on the sleep pressure built up during prior wakefulness.
Circadian control has been relatively well characterized—brain structures and neurotransmitters have been implicated in the timing of sleep and wakefulness. The sleep homeostat is less well known. At least one detail, however, has recently come to light. A protein—a newly discovered sleep mutant called redeye—appears to be directly controlled by the homeostatic drive to sleep.
This link to sleep drive was uncovered by researchers affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. They published their findings February 4 in eLife, in an article entitled "Identification of Redeye, a new sleep-regulating protein whose expression is modulated by sleep amount."
The article, which cites the difficulties of performing genetic experiments with mammalian models, relied on fruit flies, Drosophila, one of several premier genetic organisms that have been introduced into the sleep field. Work with such organisms suggests that behavioral genetics in lower organisms provides an efficient tool to identify sleep components. Moreover, as the authors insist, at least some of the mechanisms underlying sleep are conserved through evolution.
In detailing their results, the authors wrote: "We conducted a forward genetic screen of chemically mutagenized flies to identify short-sleeping mutants and found one, redeye (rye) that shows a severe reduction of sleep length. Cloning of rye reveals that it encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α subunit required for Drosophila sleep."
The researchers, led by Amita Sehgal, Ph.D., a neuroscience professor at Perelman, concluded that cycling of the redeye protein is independent of the circadian clock in normal day/night cycles. Instead, this cycling appears to depend on the sleep homeostat. According to the researchers, redeye protein levels are upregulated in short-sleeping mutants as well as in wild-type animals following sleep deprivation. Also, they found that mutant flies had normal circadian rhythms, suggesting that their sleep problems were the result of disrupted sleep/wake homeostasis.
Providing yet more details, the authors indicated that "while rye builds up during sleep deprivation, it does not accumulate gradually over the wake period in a daily cycle. Rather, it displays a marked increase close to the time of sleep onset, suggesting that it is not a central component of the homeostat, but responds to an upstream homeostatic signal, perhaps when that signal reaches a certain threshold."
Ultimately the researchers want to use the redeye gene to locate sleep homeostat neurons in the brain. Identification of molecules that reflect sleep drive could lead to the development of biomarkers for sleep, and may get us closer to revealing the mystery of the sleep homeostat.

In the early days of the plague, as young men in New York City began to contract and soon die from strange diseases like bird tuberculosis and toxoplasmosis, fear and terror took hold of the gay community.
No one knew what was causing the deaths. No one knew how to treat the disease. No one could say with any certainty how to stop it from spreading. All anyone knew was that their friends were dying at an alarming rate, and that almost no one with means seemed interested in helping.
That help was egregiously, criminally late in arriving. And the space between the outset of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the arrival of any significant attention or help from a political structure all too happy to let gay men wither and die provides the setting for Larry Kramer's extraordinary piece of polemical theater known as "The Normal Heart."
A compelling production of the 1985 play, directed by Javier Bustillos, opened Friday night in the Buffalo United Artists Theatre, serving as a chilling reminder of that shameful period in American history for those who lived through it and a shocking primer on latent human cruelty for those who didn't.
All attempts by those of us spared the terror and suffering of this crisis because of age or circumstance to imagine what it must have been like for its victims are doomed. It's impossible for us to imagine what it must have felt like to lose dozens of close friends in the space of a few months. It's impossible to guess at the feeling a man got from noticing a dark spot on the bottom of his foot and immediately recognizing it as a death sentence.
But Kramer's autobiographical play, which chronicles the birth of the HIV/AIDS activism movement and his controversial role in it, comes as close to making those feelings manifest as any piece of literature about the crisis. The play, like the movement, is fueled primarily by Kramer's incandescent outrage – a character trait that surely saved many lives but which continues to get the playwright into trouble.
Ned Weeks, Kramer's mildly fictionalized version of himself, comes believably to life in the hands of BUA veteran Matthew Crehan Higgins. As a longtime program coordinator for Erie County Medical Center's immunodeficiency department, Higgins deals daily with the ongoing ravages of HIV/AIDS. His handling of Weeks, perpetually at the edge of his own rage and sanity, is perhaps not quite as dynamic as the character demands but gets the anger and neurosis just right.
His speeches, seemingly lifted verbatim from Kramer's own informed ravings, are full of accusations and insults, litanies of complaints and historical injustices. But he can also be brilliantly blunt. When one character, a conservative and closeted gay man, tells Ned that he can't force people to identify as gay only to help the cause, he responds: "After you're dead, it doesn't make any difference."
The play takes us through Kramer's founding of a fictional version of Gay Men's Health Crisis, his friendship with the straight doctor Emma (wonderfully played by Caitlin Coleman), his attempts to get the attention of the indifferent New York City Mayor Ed Koch and finally his painful ousting from the very group he created.
The play contains particularly sensitive and moving performances from Michael Seitz as Ned's lover, Felix, and from Kevin Craig and Timothy Patrick Finnegan as fellow activists Tommy Boatwright and Mickey Marcus.
"Why should they help us?" Finnegan's Mickey asks at one point in an exasperated speech chastising the homophobic political establishment. "We're actually cooperating with them by dying."
The play suffers from some timing and pacing issues, as well as from a strange selection of interstitial music. But the heart and soul of Kramer's harrowing experience is there for all to see. It's not a pretty sight, but it's one that deserves another look.

Director: Michael Elliot; Designer: Richard Negri.
"The scenes outside Arden are few, brief and relatively unimportant, so the giant Herne Oak that Richard Negri uncompromisingly plants in the centre of his sloping set looks out of place only in a room in Duke Frederick's palace. And even here the impression that this gentleman has a greenwood tree for a chimney piece is offset by clever lateral lighting suggesting a more appropriate interior. The steep and permanent green mound that this tree surmounts certainly enables Michael Elliot to deploy his cast vertically as well as horizontally." Peter Roberts, Plays and Players, August 1961

We were able to meet in a private room at Uptown Cafe (my favorite.) (Also, they have been so good to me!) It was strange when it was time to leave. Like, I didn't want to open the door and release the spirit flowing in there, just between us. But how exciting that we are going to fill a huge theatre with that spirit, with our stories.
I just can't wait for Ann to hear who I've chosen, and then I can't wait for you all to hear them, too. Hoping video won't take too long to be put online. Because I just think you will be blown away. Seriously, after each person would read, the next reader didn't want to follow! This whole time I've been trying to think of a way I won't have to read because honestly? I have nothing on these talented writers. And most of them aren't even "writers". That's it.
That is it. And I love it.
I don't even feel worthy to be on stage with them. But I guess being the producer and director people will understand and make an exception, right? Right.
How is it I get to be doing this right now? Somewhere along the lines I said a small yes to something that has SNOWBALLED into this HUGE YES. Every step of the way something has been provided, worked out, confirming that this is meant to be.
Also, it's too late anyway, the show must and will go on even if it was a no. But it's a yes.
P.S. As we were leaving Uptown and headed to our cars together, I remembered I had to run back in to do something. I turned and tripped full force on the sidewalk/curb, hurdling myself into a grated railing. And, as I tried to catch myself on that railing, my arms went THROUGH the slats in the rails. OMG. Like, you can't even make this stuff up. I just sat there in a crumple on the sidewalk. In front of my cast. We just had this awesome moment together, and then they watch me make the most graceful of exits. Urgh.
P.P.S. Today is going to be a good day. I am going to clean the kitchen and try on clothes for NOLA. Heather heard about my trip and brought a whole bag of jazzy things to the table reading for me to borrow! Jeff's golfing this morning, Jimi Thing is on Pandora, I'm about to make a latte-with-an-extra-shot drive, and tonight we get to have dinner at Crofton's.
[In the meantime I am so sore. I only scraped up and bruised my knees and shoulder. And dignity. Eh. Sometimes I fall. And sometimes I don't. And most of the times I am just bumbling around somewhere in between]

For Pasta Wrapper:
3 to 4 turnips
Slice the turnips into very thin slices by using a spiral slicer, mandoline or other vegetable slicer to make thin round disks. These will be used as the wrapper, which would normally be the pasta dough. Buy small turnips as they are easier to slice. Make sure to slice these very thin or they will not become soft enough, and may taste bitter.

For "Cheese" Filling:
1 cup pine nuts
1 cup macadamia nuts (or raw cashews)
1 cup walnuts
1 cup parsley
8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
6 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos
2 cloves garlic
Blend the pine nuts, macadamia nuts and walnuts in a food processor until ground. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well, until creamy.
For Marinara Sauce:
2 1/2 cups tomatoes, large chunks
12 sun dried tomatoes, soaked to soften
3 dates, pitted and soaked
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Add all ingredients in a food processor and blend well.
To assembling the ravioli:
Remove a turnip slice from the batch. Place a teaspoon full of filling in the turnip slice and fold the turnip in half until all the sides meet.
Squeeze the edges together, but don't press on the fold. Some of the filling will ooze out; this will hold the edges together. Just put the excess back into the bowl to reuse. If you don't have enough filling in them they will not stick together.
Continue to fill each turnip slice until all the filling is gone.
Place these half moon shapes in a single layer on a baking cooling rack with a sheet pan underneath and top each ravioli with the marinara. Allow to sit for a couple hours. The turnip will become soft from the tomato sauce. The cooling rack allows the water from the tomatoes to drip off before transferring to a platter. Use a flat metal spatula to transfer to platter, and for serving.

The Obama administration caved to pressure from the oil and gas industry Thursday and had the EPA abandon an investigation that directly linked contaminated groundwater to deadly fracking pollution.
Had the Environmental Protection Agency been allowed to pursue their evidence to its ultimate conclusion, the Obama administration would likely have been forced to take steps to end to the explosive expansion of hydro-fracking throughout America.
What the oil and gas industry bought by objecting to the EPA findings is time to squeeze as much profit as they can out of an environmentally unsustainable endeavor.
The preliminary Environmental Protection Agency report on fracking fluid water contamination was released in 2011 and "sent shockwaves through the oil and gas sector, by finding that hydraulic fracturing fluids used in shale gas drilling had likely contaminated groundwater in Pavillion, Wyoming," Reuters reported.
Local residents "complained for more than seven years that their water began to reek of chemicals since fracking occurred in their neighborhood," according to a Fox News report.
In response, the state of Wyoming has had to supply clean drinking water cisterns to nearly two dozen families in the rural town of Pavillion. But that could be just the beginning of what is likely to be a growing problem.
Wyoming's solution to fracking fluid pollution does not address the fact that underground aquifers are not isolated. Not only can they flow into more distant ground water sources, the natural cycles of evaporation, rain, and natural weather events like floods and drought can spread the fracking pollution everywhere.
What happens when fracking fluid contaminates the drinking water supply of more populated areas and effects thousands, or millions of people? Will individual states be able to pay for and ship clean water to entire cities? Or will the federal government have to step in with funding for widespread drinking water disasters?
With so many parts of the country already facing drought, water shortages and their own hydro-fracking pollution, where will local governments find enough clean drinking water for their populations?
If you thought you were safe from fracking fluid contamination because drilling has been banned in your state, think again. Crops grown with poisoned water becomes food for humans, wildlife and livestock destined for dinner tables.
Even those living hundreds of miles from fracking operations are not immune to its effects. Contaminated water has already made its way into the food chain. Cows are dropping dead and farmers are getting sick in areas where oil and gas companies are polluting the water supply with hydro-fracking.
Why is fracking so bad for people and the environment?
The process of hydraulic fracturing is a natural resource hog and creates pollution. For each well, as much as 3 million gallons of clean water is contaminated with up to 600 chemicals to make fracking fluid. That fluid, which contains known carcinogens, is then forced into horizontal underground pipes under such high pressure it has been known to cause earthquakes.
About 50 percent of fracking pipes leak, in some cases almost immediately. When they leak, they not only pollute drinking water supplies, they release methane gas, which is more toxic than carbon dioxide.
Fracking contamination to the water supply is especially deadly because of a special pollution exception to the Clean Water Act reserved for the oil and gas industry. It's called the Halliburton Loophole.
As The New York Times notes:
"Among the many dubious provisions in the 2005 energy bill was one dubbed the Halliburton loophole, which was inserted at the behest of — you guessed it — then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a former chief executive of Halliburton.
It stripped the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate a drilling process called hydraulic fracturing. Invented by Halliburton in the 1940s, it involves injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals, some of them toxic, into underground rock formations to blast them open and release natural gas."
Why the fracking stakes are so high
The reason scientists spend so much time looking for water on other planets is because water is the source of all life. In their quest for profits, oil and gas companies engaged in hydraulic fracturing are irreparably damaging the source of all life on earth.
Unlike the financial market meltdown in 2008 that led to a multi-trillion dollar taxpayer handout to Wall Street bankers, there is no way to recover from or otherwise clean up the contamination fracking fluids pour into our drinking water supply. The damage is permanent.
The fact that the oil and gas industry won this battle with the Obama administration and the EPA does not mean this war is over. Fracking is simply too deadly to be allowed to continue, no matter what oil industry lobbyists claim.
Nothing is more important to the survival of life on this planet than protecting our water supply, because all the money in the world will be useless if there is no clean water left to buy.
