Crime stats down despite violence
Perhaps aided by a cold December, Rockford Police Department Compstat-measured crimes were down for the year. Those stats do not include homicides which tallied 22 in 2013, eight more than 2012 and matching 2011's total.

ROCKFORD - A year marred by 22 killings in Rockford ended with crime scorecard indicators headed in the right direction.
Shots fired, robberies, burglaries and auto theft were reported down at Wednesday's Rockford Police Department Compstat management meeting. The data included all of 2013 and showed nearly across the board reductions in the city as a whole.
But it also revealed disturbing trends beneath the surface.
Even as the number of shots fired incidents fell 1.5 percent citywide in 2013, to 463, the central area of the city known as District 2 saw its number of shots fired incidents increase 10.3 percent for the year.
"As we go forward into the coming year, this will continue to be a top priority for us," Assistant Deputy Chief Doug Pann said. "We are focusing our efforts from an investigative standpoint, from a street standpoint and from the Violent Crimes Task Force, just a whole team of officers, will be assigned to that area to work on it."
District 2 approximates Rockford's story when it comes to crime data in 2013. Although there could be slight fluctuations as the data is finalized in coming weeks, the numbers fell in most crime categories even as violent crime remained intractable.
The homicide total matched 2011 and eclipsed the 14 killed in 2012. During a violent summer, Rockford recorded nine killings from June 5 to July 19 alone.
Robberies fell 22 percent in 2013, to 394 robberies citywide. That number was 507 in 2012, according to data released at Compstat. Burglaries were down 9.7 percent to 1,818 in 2013 from 2,191 in 2012. Auto theft was down 2.6 percent for the year despite a spike in December, and prostitution complaints were down 10.3 percent in 2013.
"In terms of homicides, we know what that number is and we had way too many and too many fatal accidents, but in terms of burglaries, those are down dramatically and our overall numbers are down," Chief Chet Epperson said.
It's frustrating for residents and police because violent crime drives fear and diminishes quality of life, said Pann who is charged with establishing the city's first geopolicing pilot district in that area of the city.
There were 14 shots fired incidents in December in District 2, more than double the 6 seen there in November. Although most of those incidents resulted in no injuries, two people were shot.
Much of the violence was in a corridor along Broadway and in an 11th Street corridor south of Harrison Avenue, Pann said.
"Those are the areas of District 2 that drive the numbers in the district and they also to a large extent drive the numbers in the city," Pann said.

Mike Clark made it perfectly clear when it came to his little brother. He's not to be messed with.
"That just wasn't allowed," Clark said. "It wasn't going to happen."
Clark made sure of that, because he saw the potential for something special in Corey Graham.
But did they ever imagine this? Did they ever make it this far in the dream?
"In some ways, it doesn't feel real to me," Clark said. "It's just amazing to think about some of the things we went through, where we came from. I don't really know what I'm going to feel, what emotions. I'm just living in the moment."
Clark's feelings will crystalize today when he steps inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where he'll watch the little brother that he raised play in Super Bowl XLVII as a starting cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens.
Not bad for a quiet, determined kid from the inner city.
"I was fortunate," Graham said. "To be honest with you, it's probably my brother. He made sure that I got good grades. He made sure that I went to the better schools. He made sure I was doing the right thing, working out, training. He's the one that didn't allow me to get caught up in some of the things that some of the kids get caught up in the city of Buffalo.
"There was a lot going on around me with my family and my cousins and some of my friends. But I wasn't involved in any of that. I was on a basketball court or on a track or some type of camp, trying to get better and pushing toward my ultimate goal of playing in the NFL."
He reached that goal in 2007, when the Chicago Bears made him a fifth-round draft choice. But Clark wasn't there to celebrate that joyous occasion. He was in the middle of a five-year prison sentence for first-degree robbery.
"He got into a rough situation where he was trying to support his family and ended up not doing the right thing," Graham said.
It's easy to understand, then, what Clark means when he describes growing up in Buffalo as "a lot of ups and downs."
"Everything wasn't always peachy and great," he said. "It just pushed me to be a harder person. I went through a lot of trials and tribulations, but it made me a tougher person."
Price to pay
Graham's father wasn't in the picture, and their mother, Patricia Gray, had her own struggles.
"My mom was trying to find herself. She was young at the time," Clark said. "She went through bouts of what a lot of people go through. Bouts of alcohol abuse, a little bit of substance abuse here and there."
That left Clark — who is 10 years older than Corey, and seven years older than Latasha — to provide for the family.
"I ended up in the streets," Clark said. "My family, other family members, that's how we came up, in the streets selling drugs or whatever," he said. "I had to keep the lights on, keep food in the refrigerator. I had to do what I had to do at the time."
He made those tough decisions knowing all the while that they would catch up to him.
"I knew at some point I was going to have to atone for what I was doing. I was going to have to pay my debt. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change nothing, not even the five years, because I did that from here," he says, pointing to his heart. "All I wanted was for them to have a normal life and setting to grow up in. Not have to worry about food on the table, money, clothes or whatever."
But far too many times, those worries consumed him.
"It was like, 'aw man, we gotta get this bill paid, what are we gonna do?' Corey could see it in me that I'm worried, stressing, but not trying to let them know," Clark said. "I think that's what propelled them to want a lot more. They got a real view of what the struggle is about, what the streets is about, you know what I mean? By no means was it easy."
No matter where Clark was going, however, one thing was certain: Graham wouldn't follow.
"We wasn't going to let him," Clark said, referring to himself and a cousin, Alonzo Scott, who was killed in a shooting two years ago. "It was a collective effort on our behalf to make sure he stayed playing football and doing the things he needed to do.
"Everybody in the neighborhood knew, 'that's Corey, no problems.' Nobody got in the way of that, or tried to influence him and say 'let's go drink' or do this and that. None of that."
Graham stayed true to his brother, and to the sport he learned from him when he was just 5 years old.
"He was the one that put a football in my hand, showed me how to play, showed me what to do, what not to do, how to work hard," Graham said of Clark. "I mean, he was the one who's done everything for me."
Graham blossomed on the field as a senior at Turner-Carroll, when he was selected to the All-Western New York first team after rushing for 1,406 yards and 22 touchdowns. He was also a starter on the Chargers' Manhattan Cup championship basketball team under coach Fajri Ansari, and won All-Catholic track championships in the 100 and 200 meters.
"Corey worked hard in high school. Not only was he a good athlete, he was a good student. I think he had the second-highest grade-point average in his class when he graduated," said his coach with the Chargers, Willie Burnett. "I knew he was going to do good things."
"Corey was never a person to take a break or take plays off. He always wanted to excel," Ansari said. "He always worked hard."
Clark could see it, too.
"Corey's always been a well-rounded, respectful kid," he said. "To this day, if you got a chance to speak with his coaches, they all say he's a pleasure to have in the locker room around the other players because of the type of person he is and what he does. He's got the right attitude, the right mind-set all the time."
That's not to say there weren't times when the brothers did what brothers do — fight.
"On the field, he would get tired of me screaming, 'You've got to do this, you've got to make that block, you gotta make that tackle,' " Clark said. "He didn't understand what I was trying to do. He understands now. It's not just being the best athlete, but also being mentally smarter so you've got both things."
Graham did have both. He carried an average in the high 90s at Turner-Carroll.
"Academically, he wanted to go beyond the expectations. He didn't want to be just an athlete," Ansari said. "He truly had an eye on the future, life beyond high school, and he recognized education was important for that to happen."
"I knew I was getting into college regardless. I wasn't like most of the kids in the inner city who were worried about getting into college," Graham said. "Whether or not I was going to go to Florida State or New Hampshire, that I didn't know."
Burnett provided support
"He was my mentor who continued to push me to be the best that I could," Graham said. "He trained me and got me prepared. He was very important to me when my brother wasn't there to keep it going."
Clark was sent to prison at the end of Graham's freshman year at New Hampshire.
Despite the trouble at home, Graham flourished on the field. He was a four-year starter and a team captain as a senior in 2006. He finished his collegiate career with 302 tackles, 31 pass breakups and 12 interceptions, three of which he returned for touchdowns.
With the help of Burnett, Graham ran a 40-yard dash of 4.35 seconds in his draft year. The Bears were intrigued enough by his athleticism to take him with the 168th overall selection in the fifth round. Although he was hampered his rookie season by an ankle injury, Graham established himself as a pro in his second year, when he started nine games and made 93 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Graham, though, would start only one more game in his Bears career. Fair or not, he was trapped in a special-teams role, partly by his own doing.
"I was a special-teams ace. It's not like they just put that label on me. I had the attitude that if I'm going to do special teams, I'm going to try to be the best special-teams player in the world," he said. "I was fortunate to accomplish that goal, to make the Pro Bowl on special teams and show that I was one of the best special-teams players in the world. And when you do things like that, they're going to give you that label because that's what you're doing. But I knew and I hoped that the Chicago organization knew I could do more than that. I just couldn't wait for an opportunity to show that I could do more than that."
Chance to start
"I really think he's probably always been a good player. It's just he got an opportunity and he has showed what he had," Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees said. "I think he's very, very quick. He's very intelligent. He's a very instinctive player. The guy is a good tackler. That's what makes him a good special teams player, and God knows you can't have enough of those guys in the secondary."
"This has been an amazing ride. I wanted an opportunity to play on defense. I've not only had the opportunity to play on defense, I had the opportunity to make some plays and help our team win," Graham said. "That's what you want. You want a chance to show what you can do. I've been very fortunate. This year all around has been an outstanding year for me."
Graham, 27, has been an iron man for the Ravens. He's played 266 of 267 plays in three playoff games, which isn't especially unusual for a cornerback. But he's also remained a key special-teams contributor. He played seven snaps against Indianapolis, 15 against Denver and seven against New England on special teams, meaning he's played 97, 109 and 90 plays overall in those three games.
The highlight of his postseason came against the Broncos, when he intercepted future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning twice, returning one for a touchdown and setting up the game-winning field goal in double overtime with the other.
"That moment for other people might have been like, 'oh, he's a backup and he's in there, let's see what he's going to do.' But we knew at some point he was going to make plays because he lives for those moments," Clark said. "He doesn't get too high, too low. He's always going to be well prepared because he's smart. We just felt like — finally. Finally, he got the opportunity to show everybody he is more than a special teams player."
Trophies and family photos fill the dining room of his mother's Fulton Avenue home. An authentic, white No. 24 Ravens jersey is draped over a recliner.
It's clear Gray is proud of her youngest son's accomplishments, but not eager to brag about them.
"To this day, she goes to a football game, but she doesn't really know about football and she doesn't really care to know about football," Clark said. "All she cares about is for him to stay healthy and to see him do what he loves to do. She could care less about talking about him to the media, because he's just Corey, her baby."
Clark looks through the pictures and points out all the people who have been a part of Graham's journey, all of whom made it possible in some way.
"Some people never can get away from the situation because they don't have the supporting cast. That's what Corey had that was great," Clark said. "A supportive cast and the backbone that was going to encourage and allow him to do whatever he wanted him to do."
So, yes, life is good for Corey Graham. He married his wife, Allison, in 2010 and the couple has two young children, Chance and Cashmere.
And it's good for Latasha, who has a Master of Science degree with a focus on administration from Canisius College.
Clark learning new life
He admits that hasn't been easy.
"You've got to learn how to live the right way, speak the right way ... something I should have done when I was 17, 18 years old," Clark said. "You get a job and you're starting at the lowest pay grade. I'm doing my job and somebody else's job because they feel like they're doing me a big favor by me having a felony and then employing me."
Clark has six kids of his own, three boys and three girls, so he feels the financial pinch.
"Being the man and the head of the household, when you're not able to do the things that you should or you want to do, it's frustrating," he said.
Graham offers his support, but Clark knows that must have its limits. When an athlete makes it as a pro, suddenly everyone who ever knew him is a best friend. Graham is making a $700,000 base salary this season — good money to be sure, but far from the exorbitant wealth presumed by some.
"When I first came home from jail, a couple people called me and were like 'why don't you call him for me?' " Clark said. "I had to understand that in my head, what's good and what's bad and know that certain people, you can't call.
"When you bring in that financial status, everybody wants something. It's hard to level out. We talk about it and talk back and forth, because some people won't ever understand. You can't please everybody. At this point in time he has to focus on what he has to career wise and everything else will take its course."
Clark looks at the six faces of his kids, and at what Corey and Latasha have accomplished, and knows he can't go back to his old ways.
"You have to change," he said. "If you don't change, if you do the same thing expecting different results, it's insanity."
Now he has a younger brother to look up to.
"When he was a kid, he used to be Mike's little brother. Now I'm Corey's older brother. It's a total role reversal," Clark said.
The extended family got together Friday night in New Orleans for dinner, and they'll be in the Superdome today, including Gray, who has tackled her personal demons.
"She was able to overcome that because of the family, and because of constant love," Clark said. "We're not going to degrade you or oust you because you have your problems or whatever. No, we're going to show you the love. I'm just as proud of her as I am of Corey because of what she was able to overcome and eventually do and be."
Gray declined to be interviewed for this story, except to share the quote she passed along to her children: "Do your best, and God will handle the rest."
It's easy for Clark to think of all that's happened, and conclude it is indeed destiny.
"This is the pinnacle. A lot of people don't get to see the Super Bowl. This is something we talked about and that we dreamed about together," he said. "The timing of it all, it's like it's in God's will. This is supposed to happen, and it's supposed to happen now. Because had this happened four years ago, I would have been in jail. We wouldn't have been able to do this together. It's happening at the right time."

A fired Milwaukee police officer will get his job back.
Chief Ed Flynn fired Officer Richard Schoen after squad car video surfaced of Schoen punching a woman he arrested in May.
Schoen appealed the firing.
The Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission held a closed door meeting Monday afternoon. It overrode the firing and reduced it to a 60-day suspension.
"I learned that I have to fall back on my training. I have to be more professional," Schoen told WISN 12 News after the hearing.
Flynn testified that he had fired Schoen because it was apparent from the squad car video that the officer had lost control of the situation.

Special event banner signs are temporary banners that are hung over the roadway to advertise upcoming events in or near Lake Oswego. A banner sign may be posted for a maximum of one week during high season (April to August) and two weeks during low season (September to March), once per calendar year. Maximum size is three feet in height and 30 feet in width.

The signs are installed and removed by the City's Operations Division on the dates specified by the applicant if they have obtained a Temporary Banner Permit (see permit instructions below). Banners are installed and removed on Mondays.
Since banner signs are hung from utility poles owned by Portland General Electric (PGE), written permission from PGE and liability and/or property damage insurance is required.

Chancellor, Kauai Community College
Helen Cox

Three factors are critical in lawn irrigation: frequency, timing and amount of water. Early morning is the most effective time to irrigate due to reduced evaporation. It is also better to provide the turf with water before mid-day when the evaporation rate is the highest.
Watering in the evening can also be done, but may favor disease development, particularly under cool night temperatures. Most disease-causing fungi require several hours of leaf wetness for infection and disease development to occur.
A lawn that requires irrigation will exhibit various symptoms. If footprints remain while walking across the lawn, the turf has reached the wilting point and should be irrigated. A slight change in color to dark blue-green and grass blades folding inwards can also be observed when water is required.
Your watering patterns should change as the season's change. Your lawn needs a lot less water in April or May than it does in July or August. If you have an automatic irrigation system you should adjust your clock monthly to account for seasonal variations. Depending on where you live you need to make smaller or larger adjustments.
Table 1 shows a sample monthly irrigation schedule that shows the approximate percentage of total irrigation water use (based on ET) that should used during each month of the irrigation season. Keep in mind that this is only a sample schedule and may not apply to your climate or region. Contact your local water utility, horticulturist, or agricultural extension agent for a similar schedule for your specific region.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
MonoSol Rx has made an equity investment in U.K.-based Midatech as part of the firms' expanded agreement to combine Midatech's nanoparticle-based therapeutic proteins and peptides with MonoSol's PharmFilm® delivery technology. The new deal also sees MonoSol's executive vp and CFO, Keith Kendall, join the Midatech board of directors.
Midatech and MonoSol have been working together since 2008 to marry their respective glyconanoparticle and PharmFilm technologies and formulate large, orally available molecules on film. MonoSol claims the expanded partnership follows on the back of positive preclinical data confirming the successful delivery of a 6,000 dalton polypeptide.
"Having demonstrated that the size and chemical composition of Midatech' biocompatible nanocarriers are ideally suited for oral delivery using our PharmFilm technology we are continuing to jointly research and develop nanoparticle-based oral film formulations for certain peptides and proteins that are currently limited by their need to be injected or infused," remarks A. Mark Schobel, MonoSol's president and CEO.
"We believe that MonoSol's PharmFilm technology is a stable and effective vehicle for delivering a therapeutic dose of our peptide carrying nanoparticles buccally or sublingually for specific indications, thereby eliminating the need for injection or more invasive delivery," adds Tom Rademacher, Ph.D., Midatech chairman. "The synergy of our two technologies is particularly valuable in indications that can only be treated with injectables, as well as for certain proteins and peptides competing with small molecules for market share."
Midatech is exploiting its self-assembling biocompatible nanoparticle technology to develop nanomedicines in fields including metabolic disorders and cancer. In addition to in-house projects the firm is working through partnerships to exploit the technology as a drug delivery platform.
It claims potential applications include the reformulation of drugs to extend patent life, increasing drug efficacy by overcoming toxicity or solubility issues, and enhancing drug uptake via novel delivery routes.
The expanded deal with MonoSol follows just a couple of weeks after Midatech reported teaming up with Mayo Clinic researchers to evaluate the feasibility of developing a nanoparticle-mediated delivery technology for the targeted delivery of plasmid DNA for therapeutic applications. Further clinical development of any programs resulting from the Mayo collaboration will be carried out at Midatech's Switzerland-based drug development subsidiary PharMida.
MonoSol claims its thin film buccal or sublingual drug delivery technology is more stable, durable, and quicker dissolving than conventional dosage forms. Formulated to be about the size, shape, and thickness of a postage stamp, the film can carry from very low to large doses of highly uniform prescription products.
MonoSol has, to date, used its technology to commercialize seven products in the U.S. and Canadian OTC markets. In the field of prescription pharmaceuticals the firm is developing thin film formulations both in house and through collaborations with pharmaceutical partners.
The development programs are focused on approved drugs with expired or soon-to-be expired patents. Ongoing projects include thin film formulations of the asthma/allergy drug montelukast sodium, the nausea/vomiting treatment ondansetron, the antidepressant escitalopram, and the severe allergic reaction therapy epinephrine.
Strativa Pharmaceuticals acquired exclusive U.S. commercialization rights to MonoSol's ondansetron oral soluble film (OSF) product in June 2008. The ondansetron product NDA was accepted for review by FDA in June 2009, and a response is expected this year. The drug will be marketed under the tradename Zuplenz™.
In January 2010 the MonoSol and Strativa announced a new licensing and development agreement granting the latter exclusive U.S. commercialization rights to three additional OSF products developed using MonoSol's technology.

NIAGARA FALLS – Two unrelated copper thefts were reported Monday, and in one the burglar was caught in the act.
In the 500 block of 24th Street, the property owner told police he arrived at the house at 10:30 a.m. and saw a man exiting the rear of the vacant building and running west toward 23rd Street.
The victim said he gave chase, but lost him in a yard. He noted that the man was carrying a duffel bag which appeared to contain copper pipes. Inside in the apartment's kitchen a small stack of copper pipes appeared to have been left behind by the suspect. The owner took the remaining pipes, police said. Damage was estimated at $1,000.
In an unrelated case a property owner in the 1800 block of 16th Street told police that a person broke a basement window and removed the copper plumbing line connected to the water meter. A tenant on a second floor said he noticed a man leaving the area on a bicycle, but did not call police, according to the owner. Total loss and damage was estimated at $80.

Each time we come to Paris we visit the kitchen suppliers who are huddled in the Las Halles area of Paris. Le Halles used to be the "Belly of Paris" a term made famous by Emile Lola in his book titled Belly of Paris. Unfortunately the "belly" no longer exists in it's former form and the suppliers of meat, fish and vegetables have moved outside Paris to Rungis. The Rungis wholesale market officially opened on 3 march 1969, and has been growing ever since.
There are tours of the market, however, this person, tried as he may, has never been able to successfully book a reasonable priced tour of the market. So if you are up to it try booking a tour; they range form an affordable 89€ to 300€.
The good news is the kitchen shops have remained in Les Halles and no trip to Paris for a foodie would be complete without a visit to one or all of the shops.

Oregano's Pizza Bistro
Waiting lists and perpetual crowds, that's business as usual for this local chain, which specializes in Chicago-style, thin-crust pizza but offers so much more. The menu features a slew of appetizers (including toasted ravioli, bruschetta and wings three ways) as well as monstrous sandwiches filled with sausage and peppers or Italian beef. Classic pasta dishes (universally given goofy names) are another mainstay, but next to those popular pies, the second-most-famous thing is surely the pizza cookie.

Being Prepared: Law enforcement needs more specialized training
March 11, 2013
When 26-year-old Robert Saylor refused to leave his theater seat after watching a movie in Frederick, Md., on Jan. 12, sheriff's deputies were summoned....
Five against one and they had to SHOOT him?
Call it whatever you want. I call it murder.

Perhaps they should be taught how five police can subdue a drunk man with a penknife without killing him.

Everyone needs training in some avenue of their life. You guys can get on law enforcement I will continue my complaints against the State Supreme Court Justices who are pathetic when it comes to handing down dicipinarian action against attorneys who are not in good standing within the code of Ethics and the Supreme Court Justices sit there with their finger up their behind. Why do you people keep voting them in. The voters are the idiots.

If we were all "perfect" like Majoritarian, we wouldn't need law enforcement!!

I will readily admit that it has been a long time since I have gone to a movie theater to watch a movie. On the other hand, I spent about 8 years working as a projectionist for a theater chain. We never asked people to leave if they stayed in the same auditorium to watch the same movie they purchased a ticket for a second, or even third time. I have no idea why this turned into a problem with such disastrous consequences. Then again, maybe movie theater management policies have changed since I was last employed in that industry 30 years ago.

The ones who need training are the Supreme court justices on disciplinary action against attorneys. They do not know diddly squat on Ethics or know what honor means.
Shame the legal term for them in court, the Supreme Court Justices , are Your Honor.

The Frederick Post has had some articles on this. The guy did have a caretaker with him and his mother was on the way to the theater to assist. It is a very unfortunate incident.

In almost all cases, I could be wrong, you can absolutely distinguish a person with Downs Syndrome. First of all, why did the theater feel the need to call law enforcement? Would it have been so bad to have let this young man sit through another showing?? Secondly, the officers did not need to use force. If you have ever met or cared for anyone with Down Syndrome, you would know that they are the most gentle and loving individuals who only need to be treated as such. Such a sad sad situation.....

Rev. Cracker: "These officers need to be charge and tried for murder"
You need to be stoned for lack of common sense. Praise Jesus!
In order to be found guilty the prosecutor would need to prove intent. There was certainly no malicious intent on the part of the deputies to cause death or harm to the decedent.

Maybe we should have all alleged offenders sign an affidavit before forcibly removing them. I'd sound something like, "Sir, would you kindly put down the knife and sign this "Mother May I" consent form signifying you have no medical conditions or otherwise before we forcibly detain or fire upon you?"
3 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Phoenix: Common Sense = "sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts". Many medical conditions present similar to drug or drink behaviors. I think common sense prevailed and it was an unfortunate incident. Subsequently, all laws were obeyed and followed.
It's unfortunate that citizens blast LEO's yet never walked in the shoes of one. They're essentially treated like and perform as though they're lawyers, psychologists, doctors, teachers, and daycare providers. These are all separate occupations and done to the best of their knowledge, skills, and abilities; and for one low fee. Stop complaining or put on the shoes.
Speaking of common sense, you should be asking why the mother left her disabled son alone in the theater. You should be asking why her disabled son didn't have a medical alert bracelet or necklace informing authorities to his condition or disability. These two points clearly show areas of concern and lack of common sense.

Using the term homicide without explanation is confusing and suggests that the decedent was a crime victim. Homicide is the taking of a human life. That's all. It may be justified and legal or unjustified and illegal. Although homicide is used too often used as a synonym for murder (thanks largely to TV shows), the two are not synonymous. And that's why the three deputies are on the job today.

WASHINGTON – The nation's governors had a message Saturday for Americans frustrated that Washington's persistent partisan gridlock appears likely to trigger an across-the-board budget cut March 1 that could delay airline travel and result in hundreds of thousands of layoffs: They're frustrated, too.
At the winter meeting of the National Governors Association, state chief executives from both parties expressed deepening concern about the mindlessness of the $85 billion budget cut, which will be split between military and domestic programs but will otherwise offer an equal whack to every affected government program. They asked to be allowed more discretion in how spending cuts are implemented.
It's the result of Congress' failure to agree on a more targeted deficit reduction package. Congress will return to work Monday after a weeklong recess, but despite political posturing, there's been no sign of serious negotiations between the parties to prevent the cut from hitting on schedule come Friday.
Republican governors Saturday stressed that they are on board with reductions in federal spending even if they could result in further cuts to already stressed state budgets. But many slammed the across-the-board hack as a silly way to go about deficit reduction.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, said he fears what Washington has dubbed "sequestration" could result in delays to toxic-waste cleanup at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. "Every line item gets cut, regardless of what it is," he said. "This is not a smart way to do government."
In Hawaii, 19,000 workers at the naval station at Pearl Harbor could face furloughs, which Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, said would undermine military preparedness. He said Pearl Harbor, where a surprise Japanese attack in 1941 propelled the United States into World War II, is a place that "everybody can understand symbolizes ... what happens when you're not prepared."
Governors in both parties said they are worried that the latest in a series of Washington budget crises could inject new uncertainty into state economies that had only just begun to fully stabilize after the end of the recession.
"We're talking about real lives. We're talking about families. We're talking about their pocketbooks," said Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican and the association's vice chairwoman. "It is not good to have the sequester talk every couple of months."
After attending weekend sessions on tax reform, cybersecurity and coping with extreme weather, the bipartisan group of governors will meet with President Obama on Monday, with the looming budget ax probably being a central topic.
Although the governors, on a bipartisan basis, pressed Congress and Obama on Saturday to come up with a more surgical plan than sequestration, they offered no joint solution to the central issue dividing Washington: whether more tax revenue should be used alongside additional spending cuts.
Democrats agreed with the president that a balanced plan should include both and blamed the imminent cut on the GOP's unwillingness to consider higher taxes in a plan to avert them.
"It seems like every three months, the House Republicans find another way to fell a tree in the path of our economic recovery," said Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat. He warned of particular damage to the Washington-area economy.
Republicans, however, agreed with their congressional counterparts that higher taxes would hurt the economy and that the across-the-board cut should be replaced with other spending cuts. Many stressed their desire to see the federal government shrink in other ways, pointing to their own experiences balancing state budgets.
"I'm just worried about the federal government really destroying the economy of this country by continuing to spend more than they take in and not making the tough decisions," said Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican. "And the president has provided no leadership. He's not really brought people together."
Some noted that the Republican-held House twice last year passed bills that would have spared military spending by shifting defense cuts onto other domestic programs. Democrats rejected that approach as hitting the social safety net too hard.
This week, the Senate will consider a Democratic alternative that would replace the sequester with cuts to agriculture subsidies and higher taxes on those making more than $1 million a year. That measure is unlikely to survive a filibuster.

ALBANY – If you're a Bills fan, maybe you believe in karma today.
A few mornings after taking to the Assembly floor this week to criticize the state funding designed to keep the Buffalo Bills from moving, a downstate Republican lawmaker was arrested for possession of marijuana while speeding on the Thruway to get to the Capitol.
Assemblyman Stephen Katz, of the Westchester County hamlet of Mohegan Lake, was pulled over going 80 mph on the Thruway on Thursday morning.
Katz, a 59-year-old veterinarian who last year voted against a bill to legalize marijuana for people suffering serious medical conditions, was busted after a trooper noticed the odor of pot coming from his car. The State Police said a "small bag'' of marijuana was confiscated, and Katz was allowed to continue on to the Capitol, meaning the trooper did not believe he was high while driving.
The second-term legislator was nabbed at 10 a.m. The session started that morning at 10:07, Assembly records show, and he did miss the first vote, though he did participate in a floor debate later on a bill pertaining to – pause for more irony – pain management.
The previous night, Katz rose to voice his complaint over the deal cut in December by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to keep the Bills in Buffalo. That deal calls for $54 million in capital costs, as well as other operating funding, all of which is contained in this year's budget plan being readied for a vote next week.
Katz questioned the logic of giving so much money "to billionaires who can more than afford to stay right here.''
"Aren't they wealthy enough that they can handle their own operating support?'' Katz said, adding that he did not see the return on the investment for the state or Buffalo for such a large public investment.
"I don't see that this is the financial boon to the City of Buffalo,'' he said on the floor.
When told of the arrest Friday, the president of the Buffalo Bills Booster Club laughed.
"Was that him talking or the marijuana?'' Dick Zolnowski said of the Monday night floor comments by Katz.
"Maybe if you criticize the Buffalo Bills or Buffalo, it will catch up with you,'' Zolnowski said of the karma theory making the rounds Friday.
A couple of days after the floor remarks by Katz, Assemblyman Sean Ryan, a Buffalo Democrat, approached the Westchester County lawmaker.
"I told him that the Buffalo Bills are an integral part of our community,'' Ryan said, noting he pointed out to Katz that the team is the only NFL franchise in the State of New York, after the Giants and Jets fled to nearby New Jersey.
Ryan also gave Katz a Buffalo Bills cap, and a photo was snapped of the two lawmakers with Katz wearing the hat.
"He said he used to be a big supporter of the Buffalo team when Marv Levy was the only Jewish coach of an NFL team,'' Ryan said. He said Katz told him his position was a "principled stand'' in opposition to taxpayer money going to fund stadium construction deals in return for teams dropping their threat to leave a community.
Katz, who represents parts of Putnam and Westchester counties, was first elected to the Assembly in 2010. He is a veterinarian and lives in Mohegan Lake with his family "and numerous animals,'' according to his official Assembly biography.
The State Police said he was stopped going north on the Thruway in the Town of Coeymans, which is about a 20-minute drive from the Capitol. Police would not say how much marijuana the lawmaker possessed. He was released with an appearance traffic ticket and marijuana violation notice, and is to appear in Coeymans Town Court on March 28.
Like most Assembly Republicans, Katz last year voted against a bill legalizing marijuana for people deemed by physicians to have serious medical conditions, including cancer and chronic pain. A week ago, he put out a news release condemning illegal drug use following publicity about area drug arrests reported in the Gannett-owned newspaper in his district.
Gannett's Albany bureau last spring reported another dose of controversy involving Katz when he acknowledged being arrested twice before for incidents involving his vet practice. In one case, he was arrested after disposing of a German shepherd in a garbage can. The second came after he said he accidentally knocked a Chihuahua to the floor from an exam table after the dog bit him. In both cases, he said, he was cleared.
Katz also wrote to members of the Assembly urging them not to vote for another term of leadership by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who OK'd a settlement with two Assembly staffers who accused Assemblyman Vito Lopez of sexual harassment. Katz compared Silver to the late Joe Paterno, who was accused of covering up the episodes of child abuse by Jerry Sandusky.
Katz did not return a call to comment but said in a written statement Friday that the incident Thursday was "unfortunate.'' In an interesting segue, he said it would not stop his work to help localities get state-imposed mandated costs reduced. "I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest,'' he added.

The Clarence motorcyclist who died Wednesday when he crashed into an oncoming car while being pursued by a state trooper had only a permit to operate a motorcycle, not a license, law enforcement authorities told The Buffalo News on Thursday.
Patrick Conway, 18, a senior at Clarence High School who was looking forward to joining the Marines in August, was pulled over Wednesday morning by a trooper on Main Street in Clarence for not having a rear license plate on the high-performance motorcycle.
When the trooper got out of his vehicle to approach Conway, the teen sped off and ultimately smashed into a BMW on the other side of the road. Conway was killed instantly. The driver of the BMW was uninjured.
People 18 or over must first obtain a permit before getting a license to operate a motorcycle, explained State Police Sgt. David Martek, who is a traffic supervisor. Martek could not comment on the investigation into Conway's death. But he explained that there is no waiting period for people 18 or over seeking the license.
The permit "allows you to practice driving," Martek said.
People with permits can operate motorcycle only "in the immediate proximity" of a driver who is at least 21 and has a valid motorcycle license.
Operating a motorcycle unsupervised without being accompanied would be considered the same as unlicensed driving, Martek said.

SUNY is the largest university system in the United States and features some of the world's leading scientific labs for disciplines including informatics, biotechnology and small-scale engineering.
The Center will bring together academic and private sector stakeholders from around the world to collaboratively establish definitive, third-party, peer-reviewed industry standards and solutions for object-identification and authentication of art and collectibles. The goal of this initiative is to create a platform on which all market stakeholders — international trade regulators, the financial services and property insurance sectors, the museum community, artist estates, foundations and living artists — can engage and protect both their legacies and the art industry as a whole through new solutions.
"This is an important initiative that tackles the issues of object identification and authenticity that are now equal in proportion to the issues of legal title in the art and collectibles industry," said ARIS Chairman Lawrence M. Shindell. "If together we can help this subsector of the global economy remove object-authenticity from the equation, then, combined with title insurance, we've tackled the two key risks that have hampered the industry. De-risking the asset class in this way will benefit all stakeholders over the long term."
The initiative mirrors the success of other industries, most notably pharmaceutical and timber, which faced global, systemic problems of inauthentic adulterated drugs and illegally deforested timber products. The goal is to create an "open architecture" solution and develop standards that enable any number of the manifold industry stakeholders to have the confidence to invest in the innovation necessary to create and for all stakeholders to use standards-based solutions.
The Center will launch through funding and other support provided by ARIS, the authority on the subject of legal title risks impacting the global fine art and collectibles market. Its operations will be coordinated by NRS Associates, LLC, a strategic merchant banking and advisory firm based in New York City.
"Given our market-neutral role as the title insurer to the art and collectibles industry, we believe that ARIS is in a unique position to help support this initiative," explained Shindell.
The SUNY Center of Innovation's international activities will be led by a team of experts headed in the United States by Martin Tenniswood, Ph.D., Empire Innovations Professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, the School of Public Heath, University at Albany and Director of the GenNYsis Center in Cancer Genomics at UAlbany. The Center will also operate in close collaboration with Fardin Sanai, Vice President for University Development, University at Albany, and Executive Director of The University at Albany Foundation.
"The entire SUNY system, encompassing 64 campuses, has world-class researchers, laboratories and expertise in the multiple disciplines required to make this significant initiative successful. Many of these are housed here at the University at Albany," said Robert J. Jones, President of UAlbany. "In addition, with our strong commitment to public-private collaborations, we can play a key role in developing large-scale, technology-based solutions to significant problems in global industries."
With the diversity of stakeholders engaging directly or indirectly in the art industry, it is expected that parties throughout the United States and internationally will contribute to the development of these industry standards. As an independent, academic, peer-review-based facility, the SUNY Center of Innovation will be able to measure standards-compliance of developed solutions as well as facilitate their market acceptance.
"Argo Group is pleased to be a part of this important industry-wide initiative," said Mark E. Watson III, Argo Group President and CEO. "This collaborative effort, which combines the leading research and scientific capabilities of the state of New York with the expertise of ARIS, the leader in asset integrity in the global art and collectibles industry, is a great example of insurance industry innovation."
The Center will immediately begin to collaborate with stakeholders in the art industry trade, the scientific and legal communities and with other relevant experts from around the world. The Center expects to release the first iteration of standards in fifteen months and hopes to reveal soon the involvement of a leading international academic and research-based university located outside the United States that will serve as a dual collaboration location.

The 5 Least Necessary 'Greatest Hits' Albums of All Time
#2. Ray Parker Jr. -- Greatest Hits
Somewhere in the comments section right now, someone is getting ready to call me an asshole for implying that Ray Parker Jr. is unworthy of a greatest hits album. To that person, I say, "Shut up, you're wrong." I don't care if Ray Parker Jr. has another 50 or 60 high-quality tunes to his name. The only thing anyone remembers him for is the theme from Ghostbusters. And guess what? He totally jacked that song from Huey Lewis. He was sued for it, in fact, and lost.
Now take Ghostbusters out of the equation and tell me what you know about Ray Parker Jr. Exactly, I can't hear you, because that's not how the medium we're dealing with right now works. But still, I know the answer would be "nothing." So let me ask you this: Why should we reward this man's musical criminality with something as career defining as a greatest hits album?
On top of that, holy shit, just buy the Ghostbusters soundtrack. It's got three damn versions of that stupid song. One version, we're told, is "From Ghostbusters," which I guess means there's a version out there that wasn't written for the movie Ghostbusters? And that version is at the end of the Ghostbusters soundtrack? Makes perfect sense!
Meanwhile, Ray Parker Jr.'s greatest hits album just has the one version of "Ghostbusters" and a bunch of other shit that you would have heard by now if his music was worth listening to outside the confines of a major motion picture (and the sheet music to "I Want a New Drug"). But on the bright side, if you're looking to own one of the last remaining copies of this unneeded gem, it can be had for cheap.
A bargain even at 1/20th the price!
#1. Bell Biv Devoe -- Greatest Hits
Oh, the joys of being a Cracked columnist. Not only do I get to use my favorite words, I and me, with as much frequency as I deem appropriate, but I also get to turn in columns almost completely devoid of editorial oversight. I mean, there are limits to what I can write, obviously, but when it comes to deciding, say, what entries appear on a list that I'm writing, I'm usually free to include whatever I see fit.
And that brings us back to that first article of mine, written all those years ago. Check out the feedback from Hollywood's own David Wong from back when that article was first accepted.
I was skeptical, of course, because it was always believed by science that the last remaining Bell Biv Devoe fans were killed off in the stampede at that charity basketball event that Puff Daddy and Heavy D put on back in the day. I trust you're all still following me. Anyway, turns out that was incorrect. In an HD-video-of-Sasquatch-like twist, there was a real live Bell Biv Devoe fan stomping through the proverbial forests of the Cracked editorial staff. Fascinating. I envisioned a man in a full business suit with an Oakland A's hat turned to the right and two different colored shoes on (know your BBD history) throwing his arms up in disgust at the thought of sullying the good name of Ronnie, Ricky, and Mike.
Because I'm nothing if not fantastic at following orders, I acquiesced, not by cutting Bell Biv Devoe entirely, but instead by simply replacing any instance of the phrase "Bell Biv Devoe" with "Color Me Badd" in the finished article.
And now here we are, five years later, and I'm writing that exact same article, and this time, Bell Biv Devoe makes the list. So it would probably be a great time to mention that I fucking love Bell Biv Devoe. Always have. I'm just not above making fun of stuff I enjoy. And also, I totally don't think they "deserve" a greatest hits album, for the same reason I didn't think so way back then. All of their hits are on one album. If for some reason you want all of their studio albums, you can probably pick them up for a cumulative total of less than a dollar, just like I figured out you could with Color Me Badd way back when. The only difference is, this time, I get to have my opinion heard.
For the record, I never did figure out who it was that shot down my Bell Biv Devoe entry, but if you're reading, enjoy the most obscure Bell Biv Devoe video available online.
Also, it was Jack O'Brien.

This news is a little old, but didn't see it posted here.
Chelios will be joinging the NHL/hockey team as an analysit on the new sports network Fox Sports 1, which is launching early tomorrow morning at 6am ET.
He's mainly schedule to cover the Olympics, but could see him on there from time to time for NHL coverage.
"I talked about that with the people from Fox," Chelios said. "I'm going to leave it up to them. I can sit on the fence, I can be edgy. I think I can be charismatic.
"I'm going to start doing some telecasting from the house two or three months ahead of time."
Here's another story: http://www.chicagono...fox-sports-176/
Should be interesting seeing what his personality will be like on air. We all know how much he loves the camera....

Half Inuit and half outsider, Edie Kiglatuk is the best guide in her corner of the Arctic. But as a woman, she gets only grudging respect from her community's Council of Elders. While Edie is leading two tourists on a hunting expedition, one of them is shot and killed. The Council wants to call it an accident, but Edie and police sergeant Derek Palliser suspect otherwise. When the other tourist disappears, Edie sets off into the far reaches of the tundra for answers.
A stunning debut novel, White Heat launches a formidable new series set amidst an unforgiving landscape of ice and rock, of spirit ancestors, and never-rotting bones.

First quarter: Degrees McKelvin
Leodis McKelvin padded his lead as the top punt returner in the NFL this season.
McKelvin took the first punt of the game 79 yards to give the Bills a 7-0 lead just 1:30 into the game. McKelvin entered the game with a 19.5-yard average on 13 punt returns. Cincinnati's Adam "Pacman" Jones was second with a 17-yard average.
It was the second punt-return TD of the season for McKelvin and the third of his career. He had an 88-yarder for a score against Kansas City. McKelvin entered the game as the Bills' all-time leader in punt-return average with a career mark of 15.8 on 29 returns. McKelvin is second in Bills history in kickoff return yardage.
Key plays: The Bills recovered a fumble by Brian Hartline at the Miami 47 with 8:48 left in the quarter. It led to a 32-yard field goal by Rian Lindell. Miami scored on a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Marcus Thigpen. Lindell added a 34-yard field goal.
Second-guess: The officials missed a hold by Chris Hairston on Cameron Wake on a third-down conversion by the Bills on a field-goal drive.
Second quarter: In the red
Miami's defense gets stingy as it gets closer to its own end zone.
The Dolphins entered the game ranked seventh in the NFL in red zone defense, allowing touchdowns on just 42 percent of trips by opponents inside the 20-yard line. Miami was good in the red zone in the first half.
The Bills made four trips inside the Miami 20 in the first half and came away with four field goals. The result was a 19-7 lead after 30 minutes of play.
The Buffalo offense has been pretty good in the red zone this season. Buffalo ranked 13th in the league, with a TD rate of 53.6 percent on trips inside the 20.
The Bills had a chance to blow the game open at the end of the half when they drove 52 yards over the final 1:58 to the Miami 1. With 6 seconds left and no timeouts remaining, the Bills tried one more pass into the end zone. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a quick slant to the left for tight end Scott Chandler. But Miami cornerback Reshad Jones got a good jam at the line and forced an incompletion.
Key plays: Rian Lindell booted field goals of 42 and 19 yards.
Third quarter: Wrap session
Defenses dominated the third quarter. The Bills managed just 48 yards of offense. The Dolphins managed just 25 yards.
There was only one scoring chance in the period. Miami reached the Buffalo 32-yard line late in the quarter before its march stalled. Dan Carpenter came on to attempt a 50-yard field goal but he missed to the right. Good defensive plays to stall the drive were made by Marcell Dareus, who put a big hit on the quarterback on first down, and Spencer Johnson, who stuffed a running play on second down. Carpenter is 8 of 18 in his career from 50 yards and out.
Key plays: With his defense playing well, Bills coach Chan Gailey opted to punt on a third-and-7 play from the Miami 36. The Bills pinned Miami down at its 12 but couldn't ultimately gain a field-position edge.
Flip field: Dolphins punter Brandon Fields booted a 56-yard punt toward the right sideline and out of bounds midway through the quarter after the Bills had stopped Miami at their own 20. Instead of getting a field-position edge, the Bills had to start the next drive on their own 24.
Fourth quarter: Bess man
The Miami Dolphins have received great value from undrafted receiver Davone Bess, who caught a 2-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter.
He averaged 65 receptions in his first four seasons and is tied for seventh in the league in third-down receptions this season. Coming out of the University of Hawaii in 2008, he was passed over in the draft because he lacked great speed. He can catch. He had 108 receptions as a senior.
Only one other undrafted receiver since 2008 has more catches. That's New England's Wes Welker. Bess ranks 14th in catches among undrafted receivers in NFL history. Former Denver star Rod Smith leads that list with 849 catches, and Welker is second with 716.
Game savers: Jairus Byrd's diving interception with 1:54 left at the Buffalo 35 and another by Bryan Scott in the final minute stopped Miami's last-chance drives.
Clutch punt: Bills punter Shawn Powell booted a 52-yarder to the Miami 1 with 4:42 left.
Finishers: The Bills have been outscored, 103-35, in the fourth quarter.
