Experts from across the board joined together recently to discuss the effects that oil and natural gas drilling will have in Columbiana and Mahoning counties, the state, and even the nation.
The experts, representing Youngstown State University, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Environmental Council, and Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program, spoke during a seminar at the university.
The purpose of the seminar was to generate more understanding about the drilling process and topics covered included its history-which dates back to the early 1900s, whether injection wells are related to earthquakes, whether enough water is available to continue the hydraulic fracturing process, and how the process affects the environment and economy.
University Professor Dr. Jeffrey Dick, who specializes in engineering geology, hydrogeology, geophysics, and petroleum geology, said drilling has only recently "skyrocketed" over the last two years.
He said there have been more than 270,000 natural gas and crude oil wells drilled in Ohio, and of those, 64,000 are currently active.
In what he called the Eastern Ohio Utica Fairway, there are 367 wells permitted and 137 wells already drilled. Of those, 33 are producing and 30 are still in the drilling stage.
Columbiana County is included in that fairway, and according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), one well is currently producing in Knox Township.
Dick said the big issue isn't necessarily hydraulic fracturing, but what will become of the brine once the fracking is completed. Fracking is a process used in drilling in which water, sand and other fluids are injected into the shale to extract the oil and gas stored there. The force of the injection causes the rock to break up, or fracture, releasing the oil and gas.
Dick said that due to the extent of wells being drilled the state is looking at "billions of gallons of brine and throwback" - the fluids left over as a result of fracking a natural gas well. The fluids are treated as wastewater and stored in injection wells, which have gained considerable attention from those who believe the wells have been linked to earthquakes, including those that occurred in Youngstown in late 2011.
He said there are approximately 190 injection wells in the state and doesn't believe the well in Youngstown caused the local earthquakes but did play a role in triggering them.
The underground disposal well owned by Northstar Disposal Services was shut down by the ODNR shortly after two earthquakes happened within 24 hours. The 4.0 earthquake was the 11th to occur there since March of 2011, and the shut down was requested so officials could analyze data and see if a link existed.
"You shut off a well and the earthquakes stop, you gotta think" there could be a link, Dick said.
He pointed out that Ohio receives billions of gallons of brine and flowback from Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The states have bans on the wastewater recycling or disposal, despite having operational class 2 injection wells.
"Ohio has been a no risk dumping ground for a lot of stuff, including demolition and debris," Trent Dougherty, director of legal affairs for the Ohio Environmental Council, said.
Dick said that, in his opinion, class 2 injection disposal will be more difficult in the future. He said technology already exists for brine treatment facilities but the money is lacking.
With regard to fracking, he said there have been no cases in which the process was found to have caused water contamination. Surface spills, however, could cause contamination.
"Several fluids are dangerous and you are looking at potential spills. Spills are major environmental issues. A spill is going to happen," he said.
Senate Bill 315 enacted by Gov. John Kasich this summer allowed for more safeguards for the disposal of the fluids, he noted.
Rhonda Reda, executive director of the state's oil and gas energy education program, said the Utica Shale play in Ohio is bigger than that found in Saudi Arabia.
By 2015, the program expects output sales of oil and gas to be at nearly $23 billion. Most of the activity will occur in 2014 and 2015, and royalties paid on oil and gas are expected to reach $1.6 billion in 2015.
"We are drilling smarter and we are drilling better wells," she said.
She cautioned that the state, and the nation, should not rely solely on one energy source, however.
In 2009, the world used 100 quadrillion British thermal units of energy. By 2030, that is expected to jump to 124 quadrillion, she said.
She explained that a "large chunk" of the energy being used can be traced back to technology such as laptops, iPads, and other items.
"All these things require energy and our energy consumption is absolutely enormous," she said.
The state is currently the fourth largest energy consumer in the nation, she added.
University Professor Michael Costarell, who specializes in civil and mechanical engineering and is a certified energy manager, said that although alternatives exist, or are in the preliminary stages, people continue to use what is convenient.
He explained that a 40-minute drive in a car would take longer in a solar-powered vehicle that needs to be charged after every so many miles. He said that it would take 18 hours of charge time for a natural gas car to reach the same distance as a car on eight gallons of fuel.
Dougherty said there should be less dependence on fossil fuels.
As for how much water is being used in the drilling process, Dick said that six million gallons were used by oil and gas exploration company Chesapeake Energy on one well in Carroll County. Three-hundred tons of sand were also used with the water in the fracking process on that well.
Although water use is significant, Dick doesn't believe water sources will run dry as a result of the drilling.
Dougherty said that although there are risks to drilling, he didn't necessarily want to see it stopped.
"Our hope is we get more enforcement dollars to make sure this is done correctly," he said.
The seminar was hosted by the Ohio Newspaper Association and Youngstown Vindicator.

Man gets 10 to 20 years in Erie assault
Kendall C. Foster -- already serving 45 to 90 years in state prison on charges he shot a man in Erie -- appealed to the mercy of the court as he stood for what could be his last Erie County sentencing, this time, on charges he hit a woman in the head repeatedly with a handgun in 2012 in an Erie motel.
"I take full responsibility for my actions," Foster, 41, told Judge Shad Connelly on Thursday.
There was only so far Connelly could look for mercy, however, before bumping into Foster's prior criminal record, which, the judge said, included three robberies before Foster, formerly of Lehigh County, started committing crimes in Erie.
"You have pleaded guilty and accepted responsibility. That is to your credit," Connelly said.
But, Connelly said, he found "very little" else with which to credit Foster.
"Clearly, Mr. Foster, you are a clear and present danger to the community. You need to be incapacitated."
Connelly sentenced Foster to serve 10 to 20 years in state prison for assaulting a woman in an Erie motel in November 2012
Connelly said the sentence -- on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment and possessing the instruments of a crime -- would have to be served consecutively to the 45-to-90 year sentence Foster is already serving for shooting and injuring a man in a December 2012 Parade Street home-invasion robbery.
Foster qualifies as a repeat offender under the law, Connelly said.
Foster pleaded guilty in January to charges he assaulted the woman. She testified previously that Foster struck her in the head repeatedly with a handgun during a confrontation in a motel room on West 10th Street in Erie on the morning of Nov. 5, 2012.
The woman said she received staples to close a wound on the top of her head and stitches to close a wound on her chin.
Judge William R. Cunningham sentenced Foster in November to the 45-to-90-year term stemming from the 2012 Parade Street home invasion robbery after Foster was found guilty in September of all charges related to the crime.
He was convicted of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, robbery, criminal conspiracy, possession of the instrument of a crime and recklessly endangering others.
Police said Foster broke into an apartment in the 2700 block of Parade Street on Dec. 20, 2012, with two others and shot 23-year-old Robert Gore, critically injuring him.

Oct. 15, 1927 - March 9, 2013
A Mass of Christian Burial for Peter A. Mardino, a retired plumber and Army veteran from South Buffalo, was offered Wednesday at the Holy Family worship site of Our Lady of Charity Catholic Church, 1885 South Park Ave.
Known for his work ethic, his talent as a gardener and his devotion to family, Mr. Mardino died March 9 in Mercy Hospital after a short illness. He was 85.
Raised in Angola, Buffalo and North Collins, he joined the Army in 1945 and served two years at Fort Belvoir, Va., where he specialized in the operation of construction machinery.
An expert plumber, Mr. Mardino worked for several local plumbing firms over more than four decades before retiring in 1993 from the Seneca Management Corp.
After the death of his wife of 54 years, Viola Albarella Mardino, in 2003, he devoted much of his time to his favorite hobby, growing tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables in the big garden behind his home.
"He loved leaving bags of tomatoes and peppers on the doorknobs at the homes of his friends and people in his family," recalled one of his daughters, Sandra Heaney. "He took a lot of pride in that. You always knew where they came from, and they were always delicious."
Disappointed that he never finished high school before joining the Army, Mr. Mardino was determined after his wife's death to resume his high school studies and earn a General Equivalency Diploma, which he did in 2006.
In addition to his daughter Sandra, he is survived by another daughter, Linda Shepard; a sister, Angie Sherman; and five brothers, Samuel, Neil, James, Robert and Richard.

Always buy the biggest pizza…That's why God created freezers…And big ziplock bags
We suspect you don't really need another reason to buy a bigger pizza.
But if you do, here's a great one: You'll get more pizza for your money if you go with the larger pie.
Quoctrung Bui of Planet Money recently studied this after noticing something while eating lunch with an engineer.
Though the engineer claimed not to be very hungry, he ordered the 12-inch medium pizza instead of the 8-inch small. His reasoning: The medium was more than twice as big as the small and only cost a bit more.
The math of why the bigger pizza is a better deal is straightforward. The area of a circle, the pizza in this case, increases with the square of the radius.

I saw it to I thought it was an ok, but it was not the best movie I have ever seen. On a scale of one to ten (ten being high) I'd give it a 6.

The 7 Types of Holiday Fights You're About to Get In
Merry Christmas everyone.
Because families everywhere are all composed of the same elements -- mothers, alcoholic uncles, siblings with both sets of genitals who were raised as boys -- it turns out that we all have basically the same arguments. Below I've cataloged some of the most common types of fights you'll likely participate in during the coming week, with the hopes that you'll use the lessons learned within to really make someone cry. I've added some illustrative examples to each fight, which due to a lack of parties willing to sign releases, I'm forced to state are fictional.
#7. JudginessAs soon as you walk in the door, critical eyes are turned your way. Your posture, the quality of your clothes, the paucity of gifts you appear to be bringing; all of these things are getting noticed and tallied by the more judgmental members of your clan.
"You have a job but not a career, your pants don't fit, and I'm still not 100 percent convinced you're mine. Welcome home."
Worst of all is the evaluation of anyone you happen to be bringing home with you, and how they might compare with the perfect shrew of a wife your perfect ass of a brother has. How This Might Go: Shrewish Sister-In-Law: "So how well do you know Ellen?" Chris "Everyman" Bucholz: "Real well. Super real well even. But I don't want to come off as bragging." Sister-In-Law: "Because she doesn't seem that familiar pronouncing your name." Chris: "Maybe I changed my name. Maybe you don't know my name?" Sister-In-Law: "Did you change your name?" Chris: "No." Sister-In-Law: "Is she a prostitute?" Chris: "Of course not! She's more of a ... companion." Sister-In-Law: "Like an escort?" Chris: "Essentially." Sister-In-Law: "That's awful." Chris: "You're not impressed I can afford an escort for a whole half-day?" Sister-In-Law: "We're not impressed because you brought a prostitute home for Christmas!" Chris: "She's not a prostitute! She's an escort!" Sister-In-Law: "Same difference." Chris: "It is not. At this point, all I've done is paid her for her company. There's nothing explicitly agreed to about what could happen later, sex-wise. She could end up paying me for sex." Escort: "Yeah, I'm not going to do that." Chris: "Hey. Hey. Hey. What are you here for? You're here to be on my side."
#6. PoliticsOne of the side effects of our tubed-age is that we no longer regularly spend time talking to people who hold different political views from ourselves. Back in the old days, when we watched the same news and read the same newspapers, things might not have always been civil, but we were at least speaking the same language. Political conversations have become a lot less civil since, as people bump up on ideas they've deliberately been ignoring. It makes for awkward, tense conversations -- and more than a few trolling opportunities, useful if you need to get in a few quick points against your tolerated loved ones. How This Might Go: Chris: "I'm just saying is that if the 99 percent were sent to Guantanamo Bay, we'd have won the war on poverty by now." Sister-In-Law: "You cannot possibly think that." Chris: "And probably the war on drugs too. Poor people love drugs." Sister-In-Law: "They're not poor people! They're the 99 percent who aren't extremely rich!" Escort: "Also, rich people like drugs too." Chris: "That's a good point." Sister-In-Law: "Thank you! Wait. Whose point?" Chris: "The drug one; everyone loves drugs. That's kind of their thing, isn't it? That's why the war on drugs has been so tough to win: drugs are awesome." Sister-In-Law: "Can you not say that in front of my kid?" Chris: "Christmas is a time for uncomfortable truths." Sister-In-Law: "No it's not!" Escort: "What if we sent the children to Guantanamo Bay to keep them away from the drugs?" Chris: "Yes! Now you're thinking. High five!" -high five- "And then we can send the 99 percent to Iraq. Mission Accomplished."
#5. Gift Not Good EnoughIt is often the case that one of the gifts which you've thoughtfully purchased wasn't thoughtful enough; that it was in fact, pretty damned unthoughtful. Instead of deflecting the conversation away from your faults, it doesn't, and serves as a conversation piece in the ongoing debate about what kind of asshole you are. How This Might Go: Sister-In-Law: "Is this ... a Tickle Me Elmo?" Chris: "It is."
Sister-In-Law: "Why did you get me a Tickle Me Elmo?" Chris: "Those things are impossible to get." Sister-In-Law: "I'll bet. But it's not a very good answer to my original question. Why?" Chris: "You don't have one. And I assumed you always wanted one." Sister-In-Law: "I didn't. Nobody wants one. That's why they stopped making them. That's why someone sold you this one. You did buy this right? You didn't steal it?" Chris: "No, I bought it. Not it specifically, but yes, it, amongst other things." Sister-In-Law: "You were auction hunting for Christmas presents again weren't you?" Chris: "Would you have preferred the old weight bench?" Sister-In-Law: "Oh gross. I think there's gum on this thing." Chris: "Let's hope so." Sister-In-Law: "Why would we hope there's gum on this thing?" Chris: "No we're hoping that it's just gum." Escort: -looking closely- "It's just gum." Chris: "And she'd know."

TRUCKEE, Calif. - November's "giving back" at the Auto Doctor will be $5 from every regular priced oil change (no other discounts) donated to Project MANA to help feed local families during the holidays. The Auto Doctor is challenging other businesses to donate, also. Advanced Asphalt will add $500 to what is raised.

Hoard Guernsey herd has four new Excellent cows
Hoard Guernsey herd has four new Excellent cows
In addition, to unveiling the new Foster Mothers of the Human Race painting earlier this month, the Hoard's Dairyman Farm appraised both the Hoard Guernsey and Jersey herds. Here are a few highlights from classification day:
• Sunset Farms Hawk Daisy (shown above) went EX-92 after calving back in just 12 months and completing a 26,000-pound record in 278 days. Daisy had a Spider daughter that went VG-82 as a 2-year-old.
• Dairyman Amen Jolene and Howerton Farms Roy Pistachio both went EX-91. Pistachio was only fresh 20 days but came through calving just fine. Jolene's information can be found on her web page.
• We had a dam-and-daughter pair both go EX. Dairyman Regis Nancy and her daughter, Dairyman Royalty Nanny. Nancy is nearly 5,000 pounds over herdmates and is finishing a 4-9 record of 296 days 23,487 M, 4.7 1,115 F, 3.1 719 P, while her daughter, Nanny, made a 2-2 record of 314 days, 18,344 M, 4.3 787 F, 3.0 555 P
• Dairyman Iceman Rosebowl, a high-ranking index cow in the Guernsey breed, went EX-90 with an EX-90 MS. As a 2-year-old she made over 24,000 M. More on Rosebowl.
• Rounding out the new Excellents was Dairyman Tiller Camelia. She just finished a 5-0 record of 365 days 27,308 M, 5.3 1,449 F, 3.5 960 P.
Ten other cows went either VG-88 or VG-87. In that group was a Challenge daughter from Rutter Bros Royal Oaks Dawn, EX-92. This hard-working 2-year-old is due in August and is finishing up a record that currently stands at 2-3 304 days, 18,875 M, 5.6 1,059 F, 3.4 644 P. For more on Dawn, click here.
More results from classification day will be posted in a few weeks once we get all the data entered into our computer system. Visit the Hoard's Dairyman Farm website.

Three Young Lives—Before They Were Interrupted
As the three captives in the Cleveland case begin new lives as free women, joyous relatives and friends recalled the much younger people they knew before the women disappeared roughly a decade ago.
Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 23
Ms. DeJesus was 14 when she was reported missing on April 2, 2004. Raised in a close Puerto Rican family, she was a fun-loving teenager, friends say. "She liked to dance, crack jokes and be with the family," Ricardo DeJesus, Gina's brother, told reporters.
She was last seen at a payphone calling her mom around 3 p.m. on her way home from school, the friends said.
She had planned to go that night with a friend named Arlene Castro to Brookpark Skateland, a complex in southwestern Cleveland, but Arlene's mother canceled the date, the friends said. Arlene couldn't be reached for comment, and her mother is deceased. Instead, Ms. DeJesus tried to walk home and disappeared, the friends said. She was exceptionally trusting, say friends and neighbors.
The weekend before, Destiny Fowler, now 23, had been skating with Ms. DeJesus at Skateland. "The next Saturday, she wasn't there anymore," said Mrs. Fowler.
Amanda Berry, 27
Ms. Berry disappeared on April 21, 2003, just after leaving the Burger King where she worked. It was the day before her 17th birthday. She had piercings in her ears and eyebrow, and liked rap music, say neighbors.
A neighbor, John Trefero, recalled vigils on the street in which people played music by Eminem, a favorite of Ms. Berry's, he said.
Ms. Berry's mother, Louwana Miller, died in 2006. "The mother tried to stay positive," Mr. Trefero. But over time the lack of any news weighed Ms. Miller down emotionally. "She died of a broken heart is what most people would say," he said.
Michelle Knight, 32
Ms. Knight was 21 when she went missing on August 22, 2002. She had a troubled relationship with her mother, Barbara, who now lives in Florida, according to interviews with their relatives by CNN and other news reports. Her mother couldn't be reached for comment.
Relatives have said they found out she had been kidnapped only when she was rescued. Because of the strained relationship between Ms. Knight and the family, a missing-persons report wasn't filed, they said.
Deborah Knight, a cousin who lives near Cleveland, said she and Barbara are "excited and scared at the same time." Deborah Knight remembered Ms. Knight as smiling and outgoing before she was abducted. "I love her. I want her to know I'm here for her," she said.

Published May 9, 2013
Steven M. Brown won't have to look far to see a familiar face at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Neither will Sourobh Ghosh, nor Daniel P. Salem.
That's because all three, who graduate from UB on Saturday, will be sharing an apartment when they start graduate school in September.
What's more, each received a full scholarship to earn doctoral degrees in engineering at MIT, whose engineering graduate program has been ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report since 1990.
"As soon as I got the call telling me I had been accepted, I knew where I was going," says Brown, who is among roughly 4,800 students expected to receive degrees this May during UB's 167th general commencement and 14 other commencement ceremonies.
Brown, who grew up in the Rochester suburb of Churchville, will earn a bachelor of science in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics. While at UB, he completed internships at Eastman Kodak and Olin Corp., a chemical manufacturer in Niagara Falls.
Brown had been considering entering the workforce upon graduating but he changed his mind after spending the past year doing research with Mark Swihart, professor of chemical and biological engineering. Brown assisted Swihart with his research into how nanoparticles can be used to store energy, detect tumors and other uses.
Unlike Brown, Ghosh always planned to earn an advanced degree. It helps explain why he enrolled at UB, which has nationally ranked undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering.
"One of the big reasons that I chose to attend UB was because I know there is a lot of opportunity to do undergraduate research," says Ghosh, who is from Pittsford, roughly 20 miles east of Churchville.
A dual major—he will earn a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering and a bachelor of arts in economics—Ghosh worked under the guidance of Kemper E. Lewis, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. With Lewis, Ghosh analyzed disruptions to the product-development processes of companies such as Airbus and Boeing.
The experience, he says, was invaluable and helped him to be among 2,000 students nationwide chosen for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program. The award, worth more than $100,000, will pay for the PhD in mechanical engineering that he expects to earn at MIT.
Salem, from Liverpool, also received a fellowship from NSF. (Brown received a full scholarship from MIT.)
Like his future roommates, Salem is member of UB's Honor College. Additionally, both he and Ghosh were among 13 UB students this year to receive the SUNY Chancellor's Award, which recognizes individuals who excel in academics as well as leadership, community service and other endeavors.
A past recipient of the prestigious Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, Salem will receive a bachelor of science in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics. He, too, did research at UB, mostly focusing on improving batteries with professors Swihart and Kenneth J. Takeuchi.
He will enter MIT's PhD program in chemical engineering.
"I am tremendously proud of Daniel, Steven and Sourobh!" says Liesl Folks, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "They have accomplished wonderful things here at UB and our faculty will be following their future careers with great interest, knowing that each of them will have significant impacts at MIT and in broader contexts in the years to come."
Because Salem and Brown were in many chemical engineering classes together at UB, they know each other well. And they've always been friendly with Ghosh, whom they met through a mutual friend a few years ago.
The trio decided earlier this month to room together in Cambridge, one of the nation's most expensive cities to rent an apartment, to save on expenses. Plus, they admitted, it'll be nice to have a few friends upon moving.
"I suppose we're going to get to know each other a little better," Brown says.

Urticaria pigmentosa
Primary tabs
Urticaria pigmentosa is a skin disease that produces patches of darker skin (lesions) and very bad itching. Hives can develop when skin areas are rubbed.
Alternative Names
Mastocytosis; Mastocytoma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Urticaria pigmentosa occurs in areas where there are too many inflammatory cells (mast cells) in the skin.
Urticaria pigmentosa is most common in children. It can also occur in adults.
The main symptom is brownish patches on skin. Rubbing the skin sore causes a hive-like bump. Younger children may develop a blister that is filled with fluid if the bump is scratched.
The face may also get red quickly (flushed).
In severe cases, the following symptoms may occur:
- Diarrhea
- Fainting (uncommon)
- Headache
- Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)
Signs and tests
- Skin biopsy to look for a higher number of mast cells
- Urine histamine
- Blood tests for blood cell counts and blood tryptase levels
Antihistamines medicines can help relieve symptoms such as itching and flushing. Talk to your health care provider about which type of antihistamine to use.
The health care provider may prescribe other kinds of medicines symptoms from severe and unusual forms of urticaria pigmentosa.
Expectations (prognosis)
Urticaria pigmentosa goes away by puberty in about half of the affected children. Symptoms usually get better in others as they grow into adulthood.
In adults, urticaria pigmentosa systemic mastocytosis. This is a serious condition that can affect the bones, brain and nerves, and digestive system.
The main problems are discomfort from itching, and concern about the appearance of the spots. Other problems such as diarrhea and fainting are rare.
Certain medicines may trigger flares of urticaria pigmentosa. Discuss these with your doctor.
Bee stings may also cause a bad allergic reaction in people with urticaria pigmentosa. Ask your doctor if you should carry an injectable epinephrine kit (such as EpiPen or Twinject) to use if you get a bee sting.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of urticaria pigmentosa.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - For the first time in school history, the Central Cambria golf team is headed to the PIAA Class AA Tournament.
The Red Devils qualified for states, thanks to their victory over Conemaugh Township on Friday at the Scotch Valley Country Club at the PIAA sub-regional event. Coach Tom Aurandt's club totaled a 335 while Conemaugh Township, the District 5 champion, finished with a 356.
Central Cambria will now compete with 11 other teams from across the state on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at the Heritage Hills Golf Course in York for a chance to win a gold medal. And if it's nicer weather than it was Friday morning, Aurandt will feel pretty good about his team's chances.
"The conditions were really rough [Friday morning]," Aurandt said. "It was cold, wet, rainy ... it didn't clear up until about 2 p.m. and we only had about a half hour to play. They didn't play as well as they did at districts [earlier in the week], but they played well enough."
Max Kirsch led Central Cambria with a 78, followed by Sam Stevens with an 83, Dom Stevens with an 85 and Jeremy Eckenrode with an 89. Conemaugh Township's best, Christian Yoder, could only muster an 85, which would have been third for the District 6 champs.
"We played three rounds in four days, which was quite a bit for our guys," Aurandt said. "Our guys were pretty tired, but they hung in there. They did well."
CENTRAL CAMBRIA (335): Max Kirsch 78, Sam Stevens 83, Dom Stevens 85, Jeremy Eckenrode 89
CONEMAUGH TOWNSHIP (356): Christian Yoder 85, Luke Varner 86, Evan Steves 88, Dillon Boyer 97

on September 12, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Kim Murrell had already earned a business degree from James Madison University and started her first post-college job when she decided what she wanted to do ?with her life.
Unfulfilled at work, Murrell thought about where she found satisfaction and decided it was in the kitchen. Specifically, figuring out what to cook to reach her best shape as she tackled training for running half-marathons.
She watched "The Biggest Loser" on television and saw the people helping the contestants shed weight, and she thought, why can't that be me?
That's when she "knew I wanted to make a career of helping people feel better about themselves, live longer and be happier," Murrell said. Choosing Buffalo State College for its registered dietitian program, she moved to Buffalo, and has one year remaining before getting her degree.
In the meantime, Murrell has taken on the task of lightening up favorite recipes, and publishing them on her blog, applebutterharmony.wordpress.com.
"Since I'm studying nutrition, I'm asked for recipes, ones I've adapted to be a little bit healthier," Murrell said. "The blog gives me something to refer [people] to."
Murrell often feeds her boyfriend, Dan Klee, which makes him "my guinea pig" for cooking experiments, she said. If she's gone too far in making a dish healthy, he'll let her know.
She grew up in Stony Brook, with a mother who made a point of cooking family dinner � "It was at 6 p.m., every single night," she said, "my high school friends even knew it" � and an Italian grandfather who loved to talk about food. "I kind of grew up eating a meal [while] talking about the next meal."
So when she went to college, she started asking her mother for simple recipes � survival cooking. Then she started enjoying it.
When she decided to refashion stuffed peppers in a healthier fashion, Murrell started with the sausage, replacing pork with chicken. "The saturated fat difference is almost four grams a serving, which is a pretty big change," she said. "I wanted to get the quinoa in there instead of the rice, because quinoa has protein, fiber and flavor. It fills you up faster, where rice is mostly carbohydrates."
She added a bell pepper in the mix, for another vegetable. Then she brought the cheese down, to a cup of reduced-fat cheese for six peppers. "It gives you the flavor," she said. "It doesn't have to be full-fat to give you the flavor."
Murrell now works at her internship in local hospitals, helping people meet their specific nutritional needs. So far, food is the place where Murrell can mix business with pleasure.
"I find the kitchen the happiest place in the house," Murrell said. "I really enjoy being here, even if it's really hot. If I can make something people like? I love that."
>Stuffed Banana Peppers with Quinoa and Chicken Sausage
1/2 pound chicken sausage
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
3 garlic cloves, minced

When did pre-orders at Walmart start? The Walmart I went was a bit clueless on the matter so I hope few people were able to pre-order or tried to there.
The guy that I spoke to in electronics said that they "can't layaway an item that isn't out yet". When I told him you most certainly can, he just repeated it and gave me a bad look.
I swear, Walmart employees get paid too much in my opinion. Not all but the majority I deal with don't even know basic store operations.
here is the Wii U pre-sell instructions from walmart.
I don't know if they were supposed to give that to me or not, but they gave this to me when I did a layaway. I was the first one to order the layaway girl might have been lost after she gave me the instructions. If your walmart doesn't know what to do you're welcome to print this out and walk them through the instructions yourself...

Athletes who suffer concussions and career-ending head injuries are no stranger to news headlines. But what happens when a fall during a simple family walk results in a brain injury? That's exactly what happened to me in late January of this year.
It wasn't any different than any other walk we've been on. The kids were with us, and it was a really pleasant, sunny day.
After being inside, contending with the weather, we were thrilled to take advantage of such a nice day.
Up at the house, there wasn't any snow -- and certainly no ice on the ground.
We were passed by a few Bendites who were more experienced on a January river trail than my husband and I were. They passed by us, wearing spike strips for their shoes.
Still, I hadn't seen any snow -- and again, no ice to speak of.
Further down the trail, it was a different story. There was a substantial amount of ice under the trees where the sun hadn't reached, likely in months.
I was most concerned about the kids, and told my husband we needed to turn around, and that being on the trail at that point was a bad idea.
"She was saying, 'This is too icy, let's turn around,'" my husband recalled. The next moment, "I heard a thump -- it sounded like an ax hitting a tree. And I turned around and saw my wife laying on the ground, out cold."
He was several feet ahead of me at the time. When I came to, I thought I felt fine. I recall thinking I was okay.
My husband says he kept asking if I was sure I was okay. He said he was amazed that I felt okay, because the fall sounded so "horrifying."
I did feel fine at first but that changed pretty quickly.
My husband recalled, "She would try and talk to me and couldn't get the words out, which started to scare me. I knew we were going to the hospital at that point in time."
Fortunately, I was in the emergency room within the hour.
After a traumatic brain injury, doctors say you can experience a lucid interval, or what's called "talk and die syndrome."
Dr. James Nelson of The Center describes a lucid interval as common.
He says, "You will feel entirely normal except for having your head hit, but the bleeding is going on at that moment. But you don't know that, and eventually that happens so rapidly, it kills you so fast."
Dr. Chris Graham, my emergency room doctor at St. Charles in Bend, told me I had come in with a "loss of consciousness -- you had headache, persistent nausea, persistent vomiting. You continued to be slow to answer questions."
I had a severe concussion, or what's referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury.
Dr. Graham says, "Patients with concussion can present differently. No two concussions are alike."
Dr. Nelson added, "The real red flags -- nausea, vomiting, acute neurological changes, visual disturbance. Any of those things, for most people, as a physician being conservative, I'd say it would be good to go get evaluated."
Seeking medical attention is vital in these types of injuries, because you just don't know if it is a life-or-death situation.
"You may think you're fine, but they may say, 'No -- something is still not right here,'" Nelson said. "So I think your husband was very good in saying, 'Yeah -- lets go get checked.'"
After some time in the hospital, I went home on what they termed "brain rest."

Dr. Seuss's Birthday: Butter Battle ButtersOle & Shaina Olmanson
Dr. Seuss' birthday is today! Let's celebrate the rhyming master with a bit of fun in the kitchen. My kids have been enjoying all of our Dr. Seuss activities and games this week, and my kindergartner ran out the door this morning dressed in red and white, his backpack stuffed with several books from our Dr. Seuss collection and his lunchbox filled with treats for the classroom celebration this afternoon.
He has recently been requesting that we read him The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss over and over. Not one that people often think of first, often overshadowed by The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham, The Butter Battle Book is the story of the arms race in the '50s. As the Yooks and the Nooks build bigger and bigger weapons to try to out do the other all over deciding which is better: eating your bread butter side up or butter side down.
We had our own butter battle with compound butters during dinner last night. We made two of our favorites and had the kids choose which was the best. Lots of love went to the blue cheese, and then the thyme started to pull ahead. In the end, it was a tie, kind of like the Dr. Seuss rhyme.
Blue Cheese and Rosemary Compound Butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Mix all ingredients together until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spread on your favorite breads or melt over steak.
Lemon and Thyme Compound Butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
zest from one lemon
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Mix all ingredients together until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spread on bread, melt over steak, top off vegetables.

CLEMSON — The baseball facilities arms race can be traced to Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles.
BallparksSouth Carolinaname: Carolina StadiumOpened: 2009 Capacity: 8,242 Cost: $35.6 millionClemsonName: Doug Kingsmore StadiumOpened: 1970 Capacity: 6,016Cost: Not availableRenovated: 2003Cost of renovation: $5 million
When the charming downtown retro ballpark with asymmetric dimensions and skyline views opened in 1992, it dramatically improved the fan and player experience in addition to generating new revenue. The stadium immediately made every baseball venue in the country outdated.
In the two decades that have followed, the majority of Major League Baseball teams built new ballparks. Dozens of minor league teams have new stadiums, and the construction boom has trickled down to the college level, where new stadiums and state-of-the-art clubhouses have been built.
As Clemson and South Carolina renew their three-game, barnstorming rivalry tour across the state this weekend, the Tigers will be reminded that their baseball facilities are outdated.
The series starts Friday at Clemson's Doug Kingsmore Stadium at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, Clemson and USC will play at Flour Field (2 p.m.), a venue that was built in 2006 as a centerpiece of the revitalization of Greenville's West End district. On Sunday, the series concludes in Columbia (3 p.m.) at Carolina Stadium, which is perhaps the premier college baseball facility in the country. USC has won two College World Series titles since the facility opened in 2009.
Not only has Clemson fallen behind the Gamecocks on the field, the Tigers are also behind in facilities.
"Once you fall behind, it's a lot of work to get caught back up," Clemson pitching coach Dan Pepicelli said. "You are always recruiting against other schools in the area that are upgrading their facilities. Virginia has put in a new field, everyone knows the facilities South Carolina has right down the road and the facility North Carolina has. These are people we are recruiting against on a regular basis.
"It's just a matter of constantly improving in order to stay out in front of that race."
Clemson isn't considering a new stadium.
What Clemson coach Jack Leggett said his program needs is a new multi-million dollar players' facility, the kind of state-of-the-art clubhouse and players' lounge that are popping up around the region.
"Everybody pretty much has got (new clubhouses) now," Leggett said. "We have to get ourselves there."
The idea for a players' complex has been in the works for several years at Clemson.
Clemson associate director of major gifts, Bob Mahony, said Clemson is $300,000 short of its $3 million goal of private donations toward such a facility, which will be matched by another $3 million from IPTAY, Clemson's athletic booster club.
Mahony said Clemson is in the process of choosing an architect for the project — which could happen this week — and that there is an "urgency" to begin construction.
The $6 million price tag was for a plan to build a three-story facility behind the first-base grandstand. Mahony cautioned that a new architect's plan could be more expensive because Clemson wants a facility that will not quickly become obsolete.
Mahony said the earliest construction could begin on the project is 2014.
Leggett hopes South Carolina's baseball success and facilities have increased the urgency to raise funds and break ground on the project.
"Personally, I would hope so," Leggett said. "Compared to the people we are competing against, our facilities need to be equal or better. I really like our venue, but we have to continue to do some things."
Clemson is also concerned with keeping up with its ACC rivals. North Carolina spent $29.5 million on renovating Boshamer Stadium and its clubhouse in 2008, and Virginia opened Davenport Field in 2002.
Clemson has made improvements to Doug Kingsmore Stadium in recent years.
There was the $5 million renovation in 2003. The left-field grandstand opened in 2010, part of a $2 million gift from former pitcher Thomas Chapman. This season, Clemson replaced bleacher seats in the main grandstand with chair-back seats, and added an improved videoboard. A new playing surface will be put in after this season.
Still, Leggett said there are major needs.
"We have some really good things going for us," Leggett said, "but we have to enhance some certain areas to help us recruit, to help us get to that next level."

Planting Seeds for a Better Oyster Harvest
New Jersey, Once Home to a Thriving Shellfish Industry, Uses Advanced Growing Techniques to Boost Delaware Bay's Output
New Jersey was once home to a booming oyster industry, as evidenced by the Victorian mansions along Cape May erected by fishing barons and coastal communities such as Bivalve and Shell Pile that took their names from the plentiful natural resource lining Delaware Bay.
"In the heyday, they were shipping 20 boxcars of oysters a day," said Douglas Fisher, the state secretary of agriculture.
Disease, overaggressive fishing and other factors eventually crippled the industry in the 1950s and again in the 1990s. But New Jersey oysters are rebounding through advances in growing techniques, increased demand and a new push from the state to drive economic activity in some of its poorest counties.
After harvesting an annual average of 36,600 bushels in the 1990s, fishermen had a banner year in 2011, when 95,000 bushels were landed, though that number dipped last year to 78,000.
The industry is concentrated in the Delaware Bay, northwest of Cape May. The shallow bay's nutrients and water flow help make the oysters plump, sweet and briny, restaurateurs and oyster harvesters say. Other Eastern oysters are found in places such as Maine, the Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, while Pacific oysters are harvested in Washington and Oregon.
Much of the shellfish is bought by canneries and have yet to become menu mainstays, in part, restaurant owners say, because New Jersey's reputation has faded as a provider of fresh shellfish, even in its own region. "I've never heard of them," Rebecca Charles, owner of New York City's Pearl Oyster Bar, said of New Jersey's offerings.
That reputation, however, may be changing.
"Once people have them, they become fan favorites," said Krystof Zizka, co-owner of Maison Premiere in Brooklyn. "Unfortunately, there's some skepticism initially."
Cape May Salts, a brand sold by large New Jersey producer Atlantic Capes Fisheries, are served in New York restaurants such as Maison Premiere and Telepan on Manhattan's Upper West Side. "These are perfectly balanced," said Bill Telepan, the restaurant's owner. "Customers will call me out and say these oysters were terrific."
John Merendino, owner of Madison Seafood, a Newark wholesaler, sells as many as 3,000 Cape May Salts each week to high-end New Jersey restaurants, though that pales in comparison with the number of the better-known Long Island Blue Points he sells, about 20,000 weekly.
Oyster harvesting generates nearly $4 million for local growers, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection. Officials say oystering generates $20 million in economic activity—the ripple effects beyond direct sales.
In the early 20th century, Delaware Bay produced more than a million bushels of oysters a year, but began tapering off in the 1930s and was down to 49,000 in 1960. Since the mid-1990s, with the introduction of a quota system that limits the amount of oysters that could be harvesters, the annual haul has rebounded to an average of 72,000 bushels in the past 10 years.
In some ways, the most recent push for New Jersey oysters can be dated to the early 1990s, when the industry was struck by the parasitic shellfish disease known as Dermo, which didn't affect humans. "It was a crisis point. The industry was going to collapse," said David Bushek, director of Rutgers University's Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory, in Port Norris, N.J.
Among the first actions: a quota system in 1995 to limit the harvest and ease the pressure the oyster fleet was putting on the dwindling population of shellfish.
Next, New Jersey passed legislation in 1997 to develop shellfish aquaculture—a technique in which larvae are raised in nurseries, then transferred into the open waters to mature. With traditional harvesting, fishermen use large metal rakes towed by boats to dredge up wild oysters embedded along the bay bottom.
Aquaculture techniques produce more uniform oysters, allowing growers to charge more for them on the half-shell market. The method also makes the industry less vulnerable to fluctuations in wild oyster populations and natural disasters.
More recently, the federal government, along with Delaware and New Jersey, tried to improve the wild-shellfish habitat by dropping millions of clam shells into the bay, which helps oysters mature by giving the larvae something to attach to.
Oyster aquaculture has "gone from an experimental phase to selling $1.4 million oysters thus far this year," said Brian Harmon, oyster farm manager of Atlantic Capes Fisheries, which for now sells Cape May Salts from Washington, D.C., to New York. That is up from $750,000 total in 2011.
Oyster harvesters are cautiously optimistic about aquaculture. "It's been good for me," said Barney Hollinger, owner of Elder Point Oyster Co. of Port Norris, who started practicing aquaculture in 2007 after decades of wild fishing. "It's definitely keeping people in business and keeping people working."

A proposal to build a new jail in Oldham County will likely be the first such facility considered by state officials under new, more stringent requirements.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lisa Lamb told The Courier-Journal that Oldham officials were the first to make a request under the new standards so their application likely will be the first one considered.
Part of the new requirements, which were approved during an overhaul of corrections in 2011, call for county officials to get state approval before construction a new jail, and in order to do that they have to prove the facility is necessary.
Oldham officials said they don't anticipate any problems with that and hope to have a new jail constructed by the end of 2014.

year, Boeing discussed the future of the
"Phantom Ray", a stealthy, unmanned aerial
vehicle. The Phantom Ray was based on the X-45C design
which Boeing produced for the DARPA Joint-Unmanned Combat Air System
(J-UCAS) program.On Monday, Boeing unveiled the
near complete fighter-sized automated craft and announced that plans
to conduct a December test flight and nine more test flights in the
following six months were proceeding quite nicely.Darryl
Davis, president of Boeing Phantom Works cheered, "We are on a
fast track, and first flight is in sight. Phantom Ray is on
schedule to fly in December, about two years after this project
began. This is a tremendous accomplishment for Boeing and the Phantom
Ray team."The Phantom Ray is designed to fulfill a
variety of roles including intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance; suppression of enemy air defenses; electronic attack;
strike; and autonomous aerial refueling. Today, unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) are fast becoming a mainstay of the
U.S. Armed Forces in the global arena, but most UAVs currently in
action require extensive piloting. The Phantom Ray, by
contrast, would be mostly autonomous, making its own way to
designated targets and only requiring a human operator to pull the
trigger. The Phantom Ray is also larger than most UAVs
currently in action, and thus should be able to support more diverse
roles or provide more destructive power.Test taxis will take
place this summer. Craig Brown, Phantom Ray program manager for
Boeing, describes the flights that will follow, stating, "The
initial flights will take Phantom Ray through its paces for the
flight test profile. Beyond that, the missions and systems tested
will be determined by future warfighter needs."Boeing
describes its secretive Phantom Works division writing:
Works uses rapid prototyping initiatives to design, develop and build
advanced aircraft and then demonstrate their capabilities.
number of military suppliers were involved with the Phantom Ray.
Among those announced by Boeing include General Electric-Aviation
(propulsion and power distribution), Honeywell (brake system),
Woodward-HRT (flight control actuation system), Crane Hydro-Aire
(brake controls) and Heroux-Devtek (landing gear). The
U.S. Air Force last year gained their first
jet-powered UAV. If the tests of the Phantom Ray go
smoothly, it may decide to soon add its first semi-autonomous stealth
UAV to its stable.
quote: In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

The Tonawanda City School Board decided to stay close to home and approved secondary school Principal James Newton as its new superintendent this week by a 6-1 vote.
Newton, a South Buffalo native who has worked as a principal in the district since 1998, will begin his new job Jan. 22.
"I'm very excited," he said. "I know the district so well, and that's going to help me. I know what the needs are."
The details of Newton's contract have yet to be finalized. He was selected after the district recruited community members to serve on a search committee. The large audience at Tuesday night's meeting met the news with applause.
"This is the best thing the board has done in a very long time," said district resident Dana Maxwell.
Newton began his academic career as a technology teacher in Clarkstown in 1987. He eventually became an assistant principal in Amherst in 1996. He was hired in Tonawanda two years later as the middle school principal but has added the responsibility of supervising the high school in recent years.
He succeeds Whitney Vantine, who retired from Tonawanda in October 2011. Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Mary Beth Scullion has served in the interim.
Board of Education President Jackie Smilinich said the board narrowed its search to two candidates but would not say whether the other candidate also worked within the district.
"We followed the advisory committee's guidance on their hopes and fears, and that played a major factor," Smilinich said. "His ability to lead within the district has been phenomenal."
Shortly after the superintendent vote, in which she was the lone dissenter, board member Lynn Casal got up from her seat, submitted a letter of resignation to the board clerk and left the meeting.
"Due to the numerous board leaks during the superintendent search and the fact that they appointed the person with the least amount of experience for the job, I hereby resign my seat," Casal wrote in her resignation letter. "The whole process was a waste of our time and the district's money. Therefore I no longer want to be a part of a group that does not align with my morals or beliefs."
It is the second time Casal has resigned from the board. She originally resigned in 2010, but in 2011 petitioned the board to regain the seat after it failed to appoint her replacement. She was re-elected to the board later that year.
In her resignation letter Tuesday, Casal noted it was her pleasure to serve the district for 5½ years.
The resignation did little to dampen the mood of other board members.
"We have very high expectations and are very excited about the future," board member Jennifer Mysliwy said of the appointment.
Newton said his priorities are to continue the district's capital project that will renovate several buildings and build a new Clint Small Stadium at the high school complex, and to prepare the budget for the 2013-14 school year.
