Pleasant Prairie files suit against owners accused of neglecting horses
Published 10:23 PM CDT Jun 07, 2013
The village of Pleasant Prairie is suing a couple accused of neglecting dozens of horses.
The village wants compensation for thousands of dollars already spent to board the animals rescued from Paula and David White's stables.
In addition, it wants any future expenses covered to maintain the animals' good health.
According to the lawsuit, those future costs are more than $2,700 a week.
The couple is currently free on bail.
Investigators found 70 carcasses on their farm in April.

Environmental Studies
Westminster's Environmental Studies Program
Why Choose Westminster's Environmental Studies Program?
You must have heard the expression, "Don't just sit there, do something!" Well, Environmental Studies students "do something" by mixing bookwork with projects in the mountains, research on the Great Salt Lake, and studies in the desert. Environmental Studies is a degree that trains you to "do something" when you graduate, whether that's environmental law, business, government or graduate school.
As a Westminster's Environmental Studies student you'll be trained to understand and analyze the environment from the disciplinary perspective you most enjoy. This means that you will choose to focus on either Science and Environment, or Environmental Humanities, or the Civic Environment of the Social Sciences. So, whether you want to measure a river's chemistry, understand its aesthetic heritage, or quantify its economic power, this is a good major for you.
The Westminster Difference:
Focus in one of three concentrations, The Civic Environment, Science and Environment, Culture and Environment.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Soligenix and Intrexon are collaborating to develop and commercialize mAb therapies for new biodefense and infectious disease applications, the firms have announced.
Under the terms of the agreement, the biopharma firm and synthetic biology company intend to develop therapies for melioidosis—a disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers a high-priority biodefense threat with the potential for widespread dissemination through aerosol. B. pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacteria that is highly resistant to antibiotic treatments, the firms noted. Melioidosis follows HIV/AIDS and TB as the third most common cause of death from infectious disease in Southeast Asia, the companies added.
More specifically, through this collaboration, Intrexon will provide discovery and development of therapeutic antibody candidates, followed by production of mAbs targeting melioidosis, while Soligenix is responsible for preclinical and clinical development, regulatory and government interactions, and commercialization.
This collaboration "is unique because the goal is to develop a therapy that will treat both a deadly disease currently affecting millions of people as well as fight a potential biological weapon," Soligenix CEO Christopher Schaber said in a company statement.

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they had covertly funded a project with US auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders in four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find that in 44 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 93.5 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, S**T!" Only the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama and Texas were different. In those states, 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this."

Evansville, which defeated Sweet 16 team Wichita State twice in the regular season, will be Tuesday's opponent for Canisius in quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament at 7 p.m. in the Koessler Athletic Center.
The Aces (20-14) have won six of their last seven games, including a 59-56 win at Wichita State, which upset No. 1 seed Gonzaga in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
The Aces' record also includes a 56-50 home loss to the University at Buffalo in November and losses to NCAA Tournament participants Creighton (twice), Butler and Notre Dame.
Coached by Marty Simmons, who played at Indiana and Evansville, the team is led by first team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection Colt Ryan, who averages 19.8 ppg and has made 166 three-point shots made. The Aces' starters include 6-foot-10 freshman center Egidijus Mockevicius from Lithuania.
Canisius and Evansville never have met in men's basketball. The Griffs (20-13) advanced with their 84-82 overtime win at Youngstown State on Saturday night. Evansville moved on by defeating Eastern Kentucky, 86-72, in Evansville on Saturday afternoon. Ryan had 25 points in the win and needs nine to break the Evansville career scoring record of 2,236 by Larry Humes (1964-66), who led his teams to two NCAA College Division championships.

Billie Joe is seeking treatment for substance abuse. We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. We regretfully must postpone some of our upcoming promotional appearances.

Just signed up to wish you
Just signed up to wish you well Billie Joe. At 57 y.o. I got turned on to Green Day for the first time with American Idiot. You guys wrapped up the whole GWB FUBAR and put a bow on it with that album. I was hooked. I loved 21st Century Breakdown and I'm looking forward to UNO. Seems like you all have been pushing really hard creatively and professionally in every direction, (including the Broadway show).
Do what you gotta do to give yourself room to breathe. The quality and quantity of the band's output has been super impressive, but it has to be stressful too. I want Billie Joe and the band to be healthy and keep making bad ass music. There's really a lot of dreck out there these days. Green Day harkens back to a more substantial time. We need you guys to keep doing what you do best.
Good luck for a complete recovery Billie Joe, and to a clear, clean path to the rest of the f'n 21st Century.

But I gotta wonder if they made you do this to calm the promoters down. I mean, this just looked like Billie being Billie. I just saw GREEN DAY at IRving a week ago.

The most beautiful of brides, Lindsay, her Mom, and her bridesmaids were primping for the decorum of a full military wedding this weekend, when there was an urgent request from the Maid of Honor to call 9-1-1. The Mother of the Bride had collapsed and Father of the Bride, a retired marine was right at her side, conducting CPR. Our handsome and adept groom, a marine and doctor, jumped out of the shower and quickly arrived on scene to clear her air passageway and resuscitate her into a stable state. She was whisked off in an ambulance and was evaluated at local the hospital, but was later released that evening to rejoin the wedding celebration in the grand ballroom. It was a grand entrance indeed and all the guests applauded her revival and arrival!
Fred and Lindsay enjoyed a full military wedding with a saber ceremony as the finishing touch. Chaplain James Asher took particular delight in performing the ceremony. Another perfect wedding for a perfect wedding couple…thanks to our military heroes.

For all of the hubbub about photo identification, there is one requirement that hasn't changed for Pennsylvania voters: the need to be registered in advance.
Tuesday is the deadline for people to register to vote or to update their existing registration, such as with an address change, if they want to go to the polls on Nov. 6.
Applications must be postmarked or delivered to the board of elections of the county where one resides by the close of business Tuesday in order to be eligible to vote next month, Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele said in a news release.
Given the presidential race, as well as competitive races for U.S. Senate, state attorney general, auditor general and treasurer; U.S. House seats and some state representative seats in central Pennsylvania, it's expected a lot of people will want to vote.
The requirements for registering to vote are simple. One must be at least 18 years old on or before Election Day, a U.S. citizen for at least a month before the election and a resident of the state and the election district where the individual wants to vote at least 30 days prior to the election.
Registration forms are available from county boards of elections and various state and federal offices, including PennDOT photo and driver's license centers, and can be downloaded from votespa.com.
Our republic system of government depends on Americans using their right to vote to elect people whose goals and values reflect their own.
If you qualify to vote and haven't registered, do so immediately so you can have your say on Nov. 6.

As on-screen frenemies Heidi Montag and Kristin Cavallari know, you don't mess with LC – a lesson Allure learned the hard way when Lauren Conrad called out the magazine on Twitter for labeling her "basic."
Conrad – the beauty mag's April cover girl – took issue with a feature in the August issue. Titled "Beauty & the Beat," the article looks at celebrities who have specifically "typecast" styles. And the Paper Crown designer didn't find her blurb to be so flattering.
"Made famous by Kreayshawn and viral by YouTube, the Basic woman is remarkably unremarkable. What's noteworthy about her style is its very plainness. Except to her. She swears those red soled shoes are cutting-edge," the story reads. And her hairstyle? "Blowout or sausage curls."
Conrad, 28, fired back Monday.
"I definitely just got called a basic b*tch!" she Tweeted. "Haha! Sausage curls!? Really @Allure_magazine?"
One thing's for sure: Don't expect the bride-to-be to ask her salon for "sausage curls" on her big day.

#11 Take a Bikram Yoga
Off to yoga I went...
Even though the instructor asked if anyone was new, I kept my mouth shut and didn't miss a beat throughout the class. She gave little speeches to reassure us that if we fell out of a position, then it didn't mean we were failures. It takes great strength to keep our focus and go right back for the position. So with that in mind, I didn't feel discouraged when I lost my balance. I just kept going!
I didn't sweat as profusely as I thought I would, but I did sweat a lot. And I stretched and moved and balanced in ways that I didn't think were possible. The afterglow was immediate. Already, I felt my muscles relaxed and my mind at ease, ready to start a new week. If you're a runner, I highly recommend this form of yoga because you sweat like when you run, but you stretch (and do a little strength training and balance coordination) for over an hour and a half.
Have you ever taken a hot yoga class? I had taken a vinyasa hot yoga class, but I definitely think I like the bikram version better. Good thing I can still take 4 more classes!

I've never been to Bikram yoga. I don't have a studio near me that offers it. I'm glad you had a good experience I've heard of some questionable teaching practices. I always feel better in class when teachers understand that we are human and welcome mistakes. Good groupon!

I prefer "warm" yoga, because hot yoga makes me lightheaded and pass out. Any school that supports Baptiste-style power yoga tends to be pretty awesome. I like yoga as a work out.

The STAPLES Center is the setting yet again for the second-biggest event of the year. Tonight is when the biggest party of the summer has its silver anniversary edition. The 25th SummerSlam has familiar faces that are raising a lot of questions.
Can a long-time United States Champion fend off the advances of a Swiss strongman that has been close to unstoppable? Can a champion who thinks he is awesome prevent a former world champion from adding another accolade in his home state? Can a tag team on the top of their game prevent two newcomers, now without management, from making a big splash?
Two former world champions with histories of anger issues clash in a match in the shadow of Hollywood that has the makings of a Charlie Sheen sighting all over it.
The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line after all, as the reigning champion requested the match against a vindictive and unforgiving aristocrat. Meanwhile, a young star that likes to show off, with a future world title match in his hands, tries to prove that one of the greatest of this generation cannot win a big match anymore.
In the two main events, a giant man and a giant personality try to take the company's top prize from the man that has held it all year long. Also, an all-time great and current corporate figure in WWE tries to stop the natural disaster that is a former world champion in both pro wrestling and mixed martial arts.
There's a lot of information to look over for SummerSlam. Consider this your cheat sheet. Follow this article to have every match previewed and predicted, along with another article from another writer that coincides with each match.

March 18, 1924 – Jan. 25, 2013
Dr. Goran Enhorning, an emeritus professor at the University at Buffalo whose research has helped save the lives of hundreds of thousands of premature babies, died Jan. 25 in Vero Beach, Fla. He was 88.
Dr. Enhorning conducted pioneering studies in the 1960s and 1970s into respiratory distress syndrome, often fatal to babies born more than a month prematurely. His work proved the effectiveness of lung surfactant replacement therapy and led to the development of several clinical surfactants.
"[He] was not the only physician scientist who contributed to the development of this therapy," said Dr. Edmund Egan of UB, who worked closely with Dr. Enhorning in developing the surfactant Infasurf, "but he focused the world scientific community, and his innovations and leadership are directly responsible for the worldwide success of surfactant replacement therapy today."
Born in Birkdale, England, he grew up in Sweden and received his medical degree from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1952. He began a practice in obstetrics and gynecology after serving for two years in the Swedish Red Cross Hospital during the Korean War.
He completed his doctorate on the causes of urinary stress incontinence at Karolinska in 1961, was awarded a Fulbright grant and spent three years doing pulmonary research at the University of Utah and UCLA.
Returning to Stockholm, he became a professor at the Karolinska Institute and developed equipment for the study of respiratory distress syndrome. As a professor at the University of Toronto from 1971 to 1986, he did much of his groundbreaking research. He then joined the UB Medical School faculty, continuing his research into lung diseases of older children and adults.
By 1998, he had focused on asthma and attempted to determine if it, too, was surfactant-related.
He and his wife were the owners of the Surf and Sand Oceanfront Resort in Vero Beach, Fla., from 1991 to 2002. They became full-time residents of Vero Beach in 2004.
Survivors include his wife of 56 years, the former Louise Carlberg; three sons, Ulf, Dag and Peder; and a daughter, Marianne.
Memorial services will be held in Sweden in May and in Canada during the summer.

WAILUKU - A new attorney will be appointed for a California man charged with killing his girlfriend near Nakalele Point two years ago, while mental health evaluations are pending in his case.
Last week, 2nd Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza granted the request for another attorney by Gerald Galaway Jr., 39, after the Public Defender's office cited an "irreparable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship."
Court proceedings in Galaway's case have been suspended pending evaluations of his mental fitness by three court-appointed psychiatrists or psychologists.
Galaway is asking to withdraw his no-contest pleas to a reduced charge of manslaughter and kidnapping in the Sept. 1, 2011, killing of Celestial Dove Cassman.
The 35-year-old Santa Cruz attorney had arrived on Maui with Galaway, also of Santa Cruz, the day before her body was found under a tree off Kahekili Highway near Nakalele Point. An autopsy showed that she was strangled to death.
The mental health evaluations were ordered based on Galaway's testimony that he felt pressured and was confused and "in a bit of a trance" when he entered the no-contest pleas last year.
In court Thursday, Cardoza said he wanted to see the mental health examinations completed. The judge said Galaway "seems to be completely oriented, but he has indicated that at times he feels he drifts in and out of competency."
First Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rivera said that although Galaway said his mind wasn't clear when he entered the pleas, "he answered every question, even debated certain issues on the witness stand."
Rivera said the mental health examinations for Galaway were ordered in October but have been held up by Galaway's refusal to sign medical releases.
Galaway is scheduled to appear in court with his new attorney Monday.

Judicial Enforcement of Academic Tenure: An Examination
Alan A. Matheson
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
50 Washington Law Review, Vol. 50, p. 597, 1975
In recent years, critical attacks on higher education have focused upon tenure of faculty members and have mounted in both volume and intensity. As a result, there has been an agonizing reappraisal of the whole subject of academic tenure. The concept of tenure in the teaching profession, though subject to varied definition, eligibility and legal basis, includes a basic element: a measure of employment security. Tenured faculty members enjoy the assurance of continued employment which can be terminated only by means of procedural due process and for reasons of extreme misconduct or program curtailment. In addition, tenure is an important guarantee of academic freedom, protecting as well as attracting qualified teachers. To the faculty member, tenure also entails a "kind of communal acceptance into the professorial guild." This article will examine the existing judicial authority on the legal status of academic tenure at the college level. The article begins with a discussion of acquisition of tenure and proceeds to analyze obstacles to its enforcement and grounds for dismissal from a tenured position, together with the procedural protections which must accompany dismissal.

on July 1, 2013 - 12:16 AM
One-hundred and fifty years ago this morning, all hell was about to break loose on Seminary Ridge, the crest of rolling countryside on the northwestern edge of Gettysburg, Pa.
The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, fresh off a resounding victory in Chancellorsville, Va., had spent weeks snaking up the Blue Ridge Mountains and spoiling for a fight with Union troops on Northern soil.
Concerned the South would be unable to win a war of attrition with the North, which had more people and industry, Gen. Robert E. Lee hoped a daring victory on enemy territory might bring about an armistice that would split the United States into two countries.
The bulk of Lee's army had beaten Union forces to Gettysburg, but the Rebel commander lost track in the meantime of his top scout, J.E.B. Stuart, so he was unclear about the exact location of the Union Army of the Potomac, which had shadowed the Confederates northward on a track further east.
These armies collided accidentally at about 5:30 a.m. July 1, 1863. The first shot fired by the Northerners came from the musket of a New York soldier, though more than one of them took credit.
That wouldn't have mattered much to 19-year-old Bayard Wilkeson of Buffalo. All he knew as the sun beat down on the battlefield, and the smoke and humidity rose, was there was nowhere else he'd rather be.
Nine days before the clash, he penned a letter to his father, lamenting: "At the present time there is no chance for a fight. … I want to have a name at the end of this war."
At Gettysburg, he would get the chance, and his bloodlines suggested it would be a noble one.
Wilkeson joined the Union Army two years earlier, at 17, and distinguished himself on the battlefield, where he was deemed capable of leading an artillery battery and noted for gallantry at Deserted House and Seven Pines.
The Buffalo native was the son of Samuel Wilkeson Jr., a lawyer and journalist who became president of the first chapter of the Erie County Anti-Slavery Society in the years before the war and who at one time owned the Buffalo Democracy newspaper, a precursor to the Courier-Express.
His mother, Catherine Cady Wilkeson, was the sister of women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
And his grandfather, former Buffalo Mayor Samuel Wilkeson Sr., who helped supply troop transports for American soldiers during the War of 1812, convinced then-New York Gov. DeWitt Clinton after that war to build the western end of the Erie Canal in Buffalo Harbor, instead of nearby Black Rock. That sealed a burst of development that helped make Buffalo the 10th largest city in the United States by 1860, the year before the Civil War began.
The Wilkeson homestead sat in Niagara Square, the site today of Buffalo City Hall, next door to the residence of former U.S. President Millard Fillmore.
"A very, very historic family indeed," Forest Lawn researcher Patrick Kavanagh said last week at the cemetery, while he stood at the Wilkeson family burial plot.
By the time gunfire woke residents at Gettysburg on that July morning, Samuel Wilkeson Jr. had become the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times – and one of the newspaper's top Civil War correspondents.
His son got to Gettysburg first.
Lt. Bayard Wilkeson, commander of Battery G, 4th U.S. Artillery, was among the thousands of Union troops summoned quickly during the early stages of the first day of the three-day battle from parts south of Gettysburg. By 11 a.m., after a 10-mile march from Emmitsburg, Md., he was astride a horse and taking a forward position with his force just northeast of town on a hilltop called Blocher's Knoll.
The Union Army would number more than 91,000 troops by the time the battle ended two days later, but at this moment, a force of about 28,000 Confederates faced a smaller force of about 19,000 Union soldiers positioned west and north of Gettysburg, said Thomas M. Grace, secretary of the Buffalo Civil War Roundtable and part-time history professor at Erie Community College.
Young Wilkeson was unbowed. From the right flank of the Union position, the canons of his battery fired round after round in deadly precision onto Rebel forces in the lowlands below.
Southern Gen. John B. Gordon, peering through field glasses, took notice and commanded Confederate artillery to respond by taking out the soldier on horseback. Soon, cannon fire nearly severed young Wilkeson's right leg. He used his sash to slow the bleeding, encouraged his men to continue the fight and was carried off the field to the nearby county alms house, where, according to several histories of the battle, he used a pocket knife to amputate his leg.
"In his dying act, he gave his last canteen of water to a dying comrade," according to a National Parks Service marker at Gettysburg.
As he took his last breaths, the Union battle line already had collapsed along Seminary Ridge and on the fields north of town where Wilkeson's 11th Corps battery had been posted. The nearby 94th New York, another upstate New York unit, was among those overrun, and its commander, Buffalo-born Col. Adrian Root, wounded and taken prisoner.
The fight soon spilled into the streets of Gettysburg as temperatures climbed toward 90 degrees. The 154th New York Infantry, from the Southern Tier, was overrun in town, and Wilkeson's artillery battery, among other units, made an orderly retreat south toward Cemetery Ridge and Culp's Hill, where Union commanders were staging their growing forces.
If it hadn't been for the sacrifice of these soldiers on the first day, the Rebel army would have raced through town much more quickly and could have overrun this union stronghold, propelling the Confederate army toward victory, Grace said.
"It was the best defensive ground that the Union Army of the Potomac occupied during the entire war," he said. "They wouldn't have been able to have held that ground if it hadn't been for the 11th and 1st corps on the first day of the battle."
This was little consolation to Samuel Wilkeson Jr.
He found his son a day or two after he arrived in Gettysburg, and his anguish was reflected in the piece he wrote for the New York Times, published July 6, 1863. It said in part:
"Who can write the history of a battle whose eyes are immovably fastened upon a central figure of transcendingly absorbing interest – the dead body of an eldest born, crushed by a shell in a position where a battery should never have been sent, and abandoned to death in a building where surgeons dared not to stay?"
A piece in the Buffalo Express said the young Wilkeson's body was returned to Buffalo, where Civil War soldiers and recruits participated in a large funeral cortege through downtown streets, at services in the family homestead and later at St. Paul's Cathedral.
"The flags of companies were draped in mourning," the paper said, "and the occasion was a solemn and impressive one."
Bayard Wilkeson is one of more than 2,000 Civil War veterans buried at Forest Lawn, Kavanagh said.
The story of his sacrifice continues, 150 years after his passing.
The sash he used to tie off his shattered leg, as well as his forage cap and military commission, sits inside a case at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum. A sign at the case reads: "He paid the price of his fearlessness."
School teachers across the country also are learning to teach the Wilkeson story as a way to show Americans the human cost of the Civil War, through the House Divided Project at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa.
"Today, it's hard to see faces when people read the Gettysburg Address," but it would not have been in the midst of the war, said Matthew Pinsker, co-director of the project. Bayard Wilkeson, he said, would have been among those fresh on the minds of people not only in Buffalo, but anywhere in the North, had they read Samuel Wilkeson Jr.'s story from July 6. It included these words: "My pen is heavy. Oh, you dead, who at Gettysburgh have baptised with your blood the second birth of Freedom in America, how you are to be envied!"
Pinsker maintains that the story also would have been familiar to then-President Abraham Lincoln, who knew the Wilkeson family and would four months later echo a mourning Buffalo father's sentiments at the consecration of the new Gettysburg National Cemetery: "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."
The first day of the Battle of Gettysburg ended with an order from Lee to Confederate Gen. Richard S. Ewell, whose soldiers had pushed the outnumbered northern Union flank to the southern edge of town. He told Ewell to pursue Union units to Cemetery Hill, in the southeast corner of the town "if practicable." The soldiers, without adequate water and having marched more than a dozen miles before finding the hastily organized Union army units at Seminary Ridge, were told as nightfall approached to stay put for a new assault the next day.
Meanwhile, a growing number of Union reinforcements to the Union Army of the Potomac arrived at Gettysburg. They took to the high ground with their comrades on the hills outside town.
July 2 would be a key test of their resolve – and the future of the United States.
And as was the case on Day 1 of the battle, soldiers from Western New York would be in the thick of the fight.

With more funds, sheriff adds deputy
January 19, 2013
LISBON — The Columbiana County Sheriff's Office has a new deputy, thanks to an additional $100,000 in funding provided by county commissioners....
This is enough to make you physically sick isn't it?
That wage is... P A T H E T I C. Borderline poverty. All because the Insurance and Health care dynasty is on a runaway freight train.
Another 10 to 15 years...this will be the saga.
That total cost will be 65,000. 25,000 to the working man and 40,000 to the other. That train will derail.

Ryan Lochte Reality Series Coming to E!: So What Would Ryan Lochte Do? Here Are a Few Predictions
by John Boone
Today 2:03 PM PST
The Olympic's golden party boy will join the likes of the Kardashian family with a brand new docu-series, What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, debuting this April only on E! The six-episodes will follow the self-proclaimed King of Gainesville, Fla. as he looks for love, hits the pool and provides a goldmine of GIF opportunities along the way.
Lochte did not retire after the London Olympics, did he?
I hope that he will be shown also as a serious athlete (even if he has a party-boy side too).

Not worth the price, awkward to use Review by Sara
Price Value Quality
Although the nail clippers are sharp I find the green plastic base very awkward. When you're trying to put the nail in the clipper, the green plastic part gets in the way and makes it harder to see. I find toe nails almost impossible to do. (Posted on 3/9/12)

Green Wave basketball fans should be in for some excitement next school year.
With June workouts and scrimmages behind him, Summerville coach Greg Elliott is optimistic about next season.
"We still have some things to work on but we have two of our top three scorers from last season and our starting point guard back," Elliott said. "Also some guys who were role players last year are starting to emerge as players who can help us replace the seniors we lost."
The Wave had 29 scrimmages in an 18-day period in June. Summerville won 27 of them and only lost two.
"We played a bunch of ball and I think that is going to help us," Elliott said. "As far as only losing twice, I think it's important to mention that we were pretty much at full strength while a lot of the teams we played had guys missing because they were participating in football activities. Still, we did a lot of good things and identified things we need to work on. Mostly, we need to work on our passing and reducing turnovers."
Timmy Singleton, John Jenkins and Christian Kalacanic all return for their senior year after helping the Wave earn the Region 8-AAAA championship last season. Singleton is the team's point guard. Jenkins is a hot shooter who can also score points in the paint. He averaged 19 points per game last year. Kalacanic is a center who averaged 11.5 points last season.
One of the biggest challenges for this year's team will be replacing the productivity and versatility of 2013 graduate Brandon Wilkerson. The answer to that dilemma may lie in a pair of rising seniors.
Elliott says Tyler Palmer has done a nice job on the wing this summer and Xavier Robinson has been strong in the post.
Malcolm Holland saw some action as a guard last year, but has moved to the post this summer and will likely see more playing time next season. Kawuan Cox and Weston Groome are two younger players who showed promise as guards in June.
Elliott says when fall practice opens his top priority will be developing overall team depth.
"Now that we can practice in the fall my philosophy is to let the kids play in the summer," he said. "It's hard to simulate the pressure they see in these scrimmages in practice so we only have a few practices in June. We can coach them up later and hopefully in September and October we can find the depth we will need."

SALAMANCA – Help is on the way from Albany for the financially strapped city government, thanks to a 30-day amendment to the executive budget announced Thursday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Under the amendment, the state will make up for the $2.5 million that the Seneca Nation of Indians should be paying Salamanca this year from slot machine receipts at the Seneca Allegany Casino. The money, which covers nearly 40 percent of the city budget, will be transferred from the state's general fund to the Tribal State Compact account.
The Senecas have withheld payments to Salamanca, Niagara Falls and Buffalo since 2010 in a dispute with the state over the installation of video gambling machines at racetracks.

Remember when your mom or dad taught you how to ride a bike? First, the training wheels, then just two wheels, a couple of spills and pretty soon you were bike a rider. Now, more parents are letting someone else do the training when it comes to this childhood milestone.
Nick Pavlakis from Canadian-based Pedalheads told NBC's TODAY Moms, the bicycle instruction business is booming because parents don't have time and they lack skills.
"A lot of parents come to us and they've tried on their own and found it to be quite a struggle," he said.
Some parents just don't want to see their children fall or don't have the time in their hectic schedules.
"At the end of the day, she knows how to ride a bike. End of story," Canadian writer Rebecca Eckler told TODAY Moms. But her post sparked mommy judgment. Why?
"I think its just because a lot of people don't know something like this is available," she said.
Outsourcing Debate
Parents who like the idea of someone else teaching their children to ride, argue they already let the experts teach their kids how to swim, play soccer or play the piano.
Others like the feeling of accomplishment that comes from passing on that skill.
Diane Mizota told TODAY Moms she might have hired out if she'd known she had the option, but is happy that she didn't. Though she was worried she wasn't up to the task she remembers, "I'm still claiming a major mommy victory. I overcame my mental block and earned the bragging rights and discovery that there is no feeling in the world like watching your kid ride a bike for the first time."
By the way, you don't have to pay for those lessons. Some communities have free programs to show your child the ropes.

Ex-LAPD Officer Christopher Dorner pledged to kill a lot of cops in his revenge-fueled killing spree, but once he was surrounded on Tuesday, Dorner apparently turned one of his many weapons on himself – ending one of Southern California's largest-ever manhunts with a self-inflicted gunshot.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon told reporters Friday evening that Dorner died from "a single gunshot wound to the head."
This supports early media reports that officers in a shootout last week with Dorner (which left one deputy dead) said they stopped being fired upon after hearing a single gunshot from inside the house where Dorner sought refuge. However, McMahon stopped short of confirming Dorner committed suicide, saying the manner of death is "still under investigation."
McMahon primarily used the press appearance to explain how deputies – who searched door to door for Dorner in Big Bear Lake the previous Thursday – failed to find him when he was apparently in a condominium only a few hundred feet from where his burned truck was abandoned.
McMahon said his deputies searched the complex, but the unit where Dorner apparently hid was locked, and deputies were not authorized "to force entry into residences that did not show signs of being broken into."
Officials said that during his rampage, which left four people dead in three counties, Dorner used
"numerous canisters of CS gas and smoke; multiple assault rifles equipped with suppressors; semi-automatic hand guns; and a military-style Kevlar helmet," among other weapons and equipment.
Fugitive Ex-Cop Christopher Dorner May Have Committed Suicide

You-tube proof your dairy
You-tube proof your dairy
The Bucknell Nutrition Conference, held in Lewisburg Pa., concluded with a presentation by Andy Vance, an agricultural journalist, commentator, and entrepreneur. One of the first questions he posed to the audience was, "When you first began your career how many of you cared about ag policy?" Few individuals raised their hands. His next question: "How many of you care now?" Almost every hand in the room went up.
It is important to protect our industry, but it is equally important to share the whole story with our consumers. While many videos that go "viral" are sensationalized, a recent article by Vance, in Feedstuffs, discussed why and how to "You-tube" proof your operation.
As producers we have an obligation to treat our animals well and remind our consumers that we abide by this principle every day. Doing so can minimize the vulnerability of our operations to viral attacks.
According to Vance, the first step is to be beyond reproach; your operation should have a zero-tolerance policy. Write down your core values when it comes to the standards of operation for your dairy. This should be a statement everyone is aware of, believes in, and agrees with. Individuals who don't agree should not be working with your livestock.
From this statement, you should derive basic guiding principles that address areas that are commonly exploited by activists, such as sick and nonambulatory animals. By considering how to deal with these problems before they arise, you can implement if-then scenarios, which can guide you and your employees rather than risking making a poor spur-of-the-moment decision that ends up online.
Involve your employees when developing if-then scenarios. It allows you to consider situations that you hadn't previously thought of and gives your team some emotional buy-in. Having well thought out plans not only tells employees how to handle those situations, but provides critical thinking experience for the inevitable problems that arise outside of your already established protocols.
You should also make clear to all employees on the dairy that certain violations are zero tolerance regardless of what happened or why. Communicate clearly and often what these behaviors are and how they can be avoided throughout the hiring and training process. Doing so eliminates a violating employee's ability to claim ignorance to your dairies policies and beliefs regarding animal care.

Facebook's Graph Search was announced only a few weeks ago, but the new feature has already sent the marketing world into a tizzy. The tool, which allows Facebook users to search for information within the social network itself, has been greeted with a lot of interest, with users eager to try it out and see what it can do for them. From finding new friends to getting recommendations on places to check out, Graph Search is expected to be a complete re-imagination of the search experience.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg didn't talk much about the possible applications of Graph Search in advertising when he launched the new tool, but Graph Search seems to have a lot of potential in that sector. It's only a matter of time until this Facebook feature begins to see several practical implementations for brands and businesses, and, as a result, they will need to start including Graph Search in their advertising and marketing strategies.
To learn more about Graph Search and its applications for marketers, I talked with Ryan Mack, director of strategy at Carrot Creative, a New York-based social media agency. Carrot, whose clients include Target, Disney, MTV and others, calls itself a "digital innovator" that helps brands create better interactive media experiences for their customers. (For those who may remember, Carrot's Nick Perold and Adam Katzenback were the judges of the Target Social TV & Video Challenge at ad:tech New York last fall.)
Mack leads Carrot's strategy and analytics team, focusing on consumer engagement and how companies and brands can best use social media to reach their business goals. "Social has gone from being a novelty to a utility and a necessity for brands trying to forge relationships with their consumers," Mack says. "It's important to try and not get caught up in the bright, shiny object, but instead focus on what we can do in social to help reach our clients' business objectives."
Excerpts from our interview:
Starting off with the most obvious question: what's your opinion on Facebook Graph Search? Do you see inherent advantages in Graph Search when it comes to advertising and marketing for brands?
As a marketer, I think we're all very excited, if not cautiously optimistic. Excited because this has the opportunity to change the Facebook experience as we know it and create even stronger connections between people and businesses than ever before. Also a bit cautious because it's introducing a new behavior that Facebook users aren't really used to and there's an inherent learning curve when introducing products like this. Oh, and we can't forget about the issue of privacy, which is inevitable.
For brands and companies that are already on Facebook, what do you think they should be doing to make sure that Graph Search works for them? There's already been quite some debate on whether companies should clamor for "likes" on their pages—how do you think Graph Search is going to relate to this?
For starters, having updated information on your page - About, Location, etc. If Graph Search is to be a main tenet of the Facebook experience, then it's imperative for brands to be not only present, but also discoverable. For better or worse, discoverability will be defined by page "likes" and engagement. How you procure those "likes," shares, comments, etc. is up to the brand, but it's no secret that Facebook will reward those brands who put an emphasis on paid media to go along with their earned approach.
Consistency will also be taken into account, so brands need to keep their communities engaged throughout the course of the year or be surpassed by competitors who do. The biggest impact Open Graph will have off the bat is on local businesses. For these businesses, engagement on branded content is still important, but there's an added focus on check-ins, recommendations, ratings and photos. Look for Facebook Places (or perhaps other check-in applications) to increase in importance in coming months.
Assuming Graph Search sticks around for awhile, Graph Search optimization will be a very real need in the future - especially as Facebook continues to tinker and tweak it. It's important to have someone who has their finger on the pulse and is keeping track of the algorithm.
In a blog post by your colleague RG Logan, he mentioned that thanks to Graph Search, sponsored results on Facebook could now see an increase in importance. Could you go into a little more detail on that--should advertisers now pay more attention to Facebook ads?
Just like the traditional search engines that came before it, Graph Search will eventually be monetized. Yes, this is a tool for the Facebook user, but don't think Mark Zuckerberg built a product this big without understanding how it can add to his bottom line. Over time, Facebook will start to collect a lot of very rich intent-laden search data and will be able to charge brands for prime real estate as a sponsored result.
Currently, in the pre-Graph Search search bar, brands can pay to be a sponsored result, but targeting is still suspect. For example, when I type in "fitness," I get "Entertainment for XBox" as a result, which isn't exactly what I was looking for. Aside from sponsored results, as I mentioned before, advertisers should consider making paid media an integral part of their social strategy, rather than a nice-to-have.

BCI agents at work in county reassigned to rape probe
January 12, 2013
LISBON — Fallout from the Internet-fueled outrage over the Steubenville rape case is being felt in Columbiana County, and it has nothing to do with threats from a group calling itself Anonymous......
Rape probe? That is interesting. What more are they probing into?
So, it is affecting us with a slowed or delayed investigation, interesting choice of words. This will affect the outcome of these two cases how?
Specifically, Downard that is on paid leave? We don't get these failing systems reorganized this nightmare will only get worse.

When Rudy VanEmon was told he would need laser surgery after years of diabetes, he complied with his doctor's orders. During the surgery, however, things went terribly wrong when the sugar in his body began to attack his eyes. VanEmon was left with retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy, both of which led to his diagnosis of being legally blind.
"I have no peripheral vision," he said. "It's like looking through a fog. You can't read without vision and there's no driving. They took my license away right away."
He was forced to give up his job at Grumman Olson, for which he painted parcel trucks. He also owned his own body shop for nine years, but without his vision, these jobs became impossible.
In 2005, VanEmon contacted Jamie Snyder, vice president of operations at North Central Sight Services Inc., 2121 Reach Road, who encouraged him to apply for social services at the agency. He began as a client that year, receiving support that is funded, in part, by Lycoming County United Way.
He received a closed-circuit television, a unit about the size of a microwave that allows those with low vision to read small text.
Staff at NCSS are assigned to help individuals such as VanEmon adjust to vision loss by helping go through mail, assist with correspondence and take care of bills.
"I was very depressed at the beginning," VanEmon said. "It is hard to have to rely on someone else."
As a number of individuals will attest, when one initially loses their vision, they may not only struggle with daily living tasks but those challenges can also cause many frustrations until they learn either on their own or with help to overcome those challenges and find a way to adapt, said Heather Engel, director of programs and services at North Central Sight Services Inc.
"Rudy has learned to overcome obstacles he faced due to his vision loss," Engel said. "Once Rudy learned various skills and techniques, as well as utilized low-vision products and services, he adapted to these new ways of doing things, which allowed him to regain independence and confidence."
VanEmon began employment at NCSS a few years ago working on the industry floor building flash drives and labels. Recently, however, he was promoted to production supervisor. His decision to work has positively affected his life, he said.
"It gives you a sense of worth," he said. "You feel like you're worth something. I can be more independent and I'm making a paycheck."
"Our agency offers employment to individuals with vision loss by assessing one's abilities while considering any challenges and matching them with the appropriate position," Engel said.
VanEmon, she added, is an important element to the North Central Sight Services team.
"He exemplifies a team leader," she said.
VanEmon has been fortunate to have family and friends who help get him where he needs to be. When no one is available, however, the transportation services at NCSS are helpful to him.
"Rudy is fortunate to have family and friends," Engel said. "But there are some people who don't have anybody. We are their family."
Through the social services provided by NCSS, he is able to get help with making doctor's appointments and important phone calls.
"The biggest thing for me when losing vision was not being able to see the time," VanEmon said. So he bought a watch that tells him the time as often as he needs. "When they (NCSS) first came to see me, I was using two magnifying glasses over each other to read things. These are the things I needed help with."
According to Engel, United Way dollars are used for social services, which are made up of support groups, support services such as reading mail, banking and going shopping; life skills; education; transportation; and escort services for essential errands. The Prevention of Blindness program, also supported by LCUW, is made up of blindness prevention and eye health education programs, as well as vision screenings.
"United Way funding is vital to our programs and services by allowing us to help individuals with vision loss to stay as independent as possible, as well as help to prevent possible vision problems in the community," Engel said. "We continue to receive funding cuts by federal and state programs. If funding sources continue to dwindle, we will be forced to reduce the services that we provide."
"At one time or another in our lives we have used or heard the expression about 'being kept in the dark.' Thankfully, for almost everyone, they don't have to experience the real life equivalent of same," said Scott N. Lowery, LCUW executive director. "For those with sight deprivation it is an everyday obstacle to their daily routine. The funding our United Way provides to North Central Sight Services provides the visually impaired with the tools necessary to remain as independent as possible, remain in their own homes and provides transportation, support groups and life skills. What we are able to provide is a small contribution that reaps huge dividends."
North Central Sight Services Inc. soon will open a low-vision store at its facility.
VanEmon has played an integral part in raising funds to support the project by using his love of playing pool to his advantage.
"I've always wanted to help. Even before my vision went I held tournaments each weekend," he said. "The tournaments over the past two months were to raise money for the store."
Contributions to Lycoming County United Way help support programs such as those offered by North Central Sight Services, as well as 42 other programs administered by local agencies.

The Flyers have made some major trades in recent years - dealing Jeff Carter, Mike Richards and James van Riemsdyk, among others - but a less talked-about move may come back to haunt them.
When general manager Paul Holmgren sent backup goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to Columbus for three draft picks last June, not many eyebrows were raised. Bobrovsky had seen little time behind Ilya Bryzgalov.
But with the strike-shortened season more than halfway over, Bobrovsky has emerged as the NHL's hottest goaltender.
On Monday, the 24-year-old Russian was named the league's top star of the week after going 4-0 with a 0.77 goals-against average and .972 save percentage for the Blue Jackets.
