Looking for the real voice of America
May 25, 2013
Editor: Where is the voice of America? Not in a Congress whose campaigns are abetted by lobbyists and their employees and who also entertain their activities....
I see WHAT hasn't the full knowledge of the truth and the facts to make an educated response to the post. He/she KNOWS it is TRUE. Deceivers cannot respond to TRUTH.

@What...so what about Benghazi? What about Obamacare? What about IRS discrimination and targeting those they don't agree with? So what about NSA spying on law-abiding citizens? You didn't like NSA spying and drones when Bush was president but somehow you lefties feel okay as long as it's a democrat president doing all the illegal activities right?? SO tell us again how you're NOT a democrat and you only agree/disagree with what's right and wrong? I believe, like typical left in this country, that you are CONFUSED about what's right and what's wrong.

The BIGGEST lobbyist is OBAMA. Just ONE of many many many LIES he's told since 2008. The little boy can't tell the truth on anything.
His lies are coming back to bite him and Obama can't handle it. You REAP what you sow. Lazy, useless, degenerates in the country are raging because they see their chance of getting something for nothing is ending. Now, go brush up on your resume............if you ever had one. You're going to have to WORK and EARN your living now. The socialist democrats are FINISHED!

no you are trying to blame it all on obama and thats not true. the republicans ran the debt up to 11 trillion and thats obamas fault? i started paying more at the pump to under the republicans and is that obamas fault too? you have to spend money to make money. he has to spend to dig us out of the hole you so called conservatives left us with

i did the math using your figures. i realize we werent talking about a balanced budget, you were talking about an unbalanced budget a i was just pointing out who caused it.
3 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
so just for the record, using your figures below, the us debt has risen 5.7 trillion since obama has been in office and the total us debt is 16.9 trillion. so when obama took office the debt from the previous admin. was 11.2 trillion? i believe the last time the us had a balanced budget and a surplus was under clinton. so the people in charge between them ran a balanced budget up to 11.2 trillion, hmmmmm that would be the republicans correct? sounds like the democrats arent as bad as all of your previous posts suggest... and my electric bill still hasnt quadrupled yet. i think there should be limits on somethings too, like how many posts you can make on this site.

Over almost four decades as a college baseball coach, Stetson's Pete Dunn has seen just about everything the sport has to offer.
But, over all those games and all those seasons, the Hatters' newly elected Hall of Fame skipper has never had a team as young and inexperienced as the one he will field this year.
There is a chance the Hatters could have as many as seven new players in the lineup on opening day. Of the two returning players, only senior Mitchel Brennan – who is slated to be the starter in right field but could see time as the designated hitter and at first base – has been a regular starter in the past.
Sophomore catcher Garrett Rusini, who started just nine game last year, is the next most experienced player. The other seven positions will be manned by first-year players or are simply too close to call between newcomers and returners.
The biggest upside to having all those new faces is the fact that Stetson's incoming recruiting class was ranked as one of the best in the nation for 2013.
"In my 33 years as head coach, I can never remember having a team this young," Dunn said. "We have 16 new players, 12 of them are freshmen. I don't think we have ever had that many freshmen."
Obviously, with so many first year players, the challenge for the Stetson coaching staff is much different.
"The big thing we did, throughout the fall and this spring, is focus on teaching the game," Dunn said. "When you have a veteran team, they already have your philosophy down and they understand how to play at the highest level.
"With this team, there are a lot of very good high school players, but Division I baseball is a different game. We have to get these young guys' feet under them as early as possible. We have to find a way to shorten the learning curve."
Dunn said part of the process is understanding that there will be some growing pains along the way.
"Freshmen are going to make mental mistakes, it's inevitable," Dunn said. "We've got to try to minimize those as much as we can. We'll accept the fact that they're freshmen to start the season, but they can't play like freshmen all year."
While the Hatters will be young offensively and in the field, the young players will have some veterans to lean on in the pitching staff. Chief among those veteran hurlers are seniors Joe Dye and Kurt Schluter. They, along with Brennan, will be charged with serving as extra coaches for the young team. That is part of being selected as team captains.
"That's where the leadership of our club has to come from," Dunn said. "We feel good about giving leadership of our pitching staff to Kurt and Joe. Both of those guys understand what it takes on the mound and they will have to help us teach the young guys."
While the Stetson coaches feel good about the team's starting pitching, and Dye is a proven performer in the bullpen, the rest of the bull pen roles are to be determined as the season progresses.
"The major difference for us will be at the back end of games," pitching coach Chris Roberts said. "We had an established bull pen last year with defined roles. The strength this year will be at the front end with our starters. We just don't yet know enough about the back end, although we do know there is talent."
With all of the new faces on the team, the Hatters have a schedule that is built to help the youngsters build their college baseball IQ without the stress of leaving home very often. With the exception of two games at national power Florida State in mid-March, the Hatters will play 27 games in Volusia County before a 10-game road trip in April.
"We were fortunate because most of our games are scheduled two or three years out," Dunn said. "As it turned out, we still had openings for this year a year ago and knew that we needed to play at home to help all of these young players shorten the learning curve and build confidence.
"There is really no way to know if playing so many home games will help."
Because of all the young players and new faces on the roster, not much was expected from the Hatters in the preseason Atlantic Sun coaches voting. Stetson was picked to finish sixth in the league race.
Hatter fans will remember a similar situation in 2011 when Stetson was picked to finish sixth in the league. All that team did was win a conference title and push the eventual national champion in NCAA Regional play.
"I have no problem with us being picked sixth because it shows that we have a lot of work to do," Dunn said. "Florida Gulf Coast and Mercer have very good players returning and deserve to be where they are (tied for first). USC Upstate, with Gaither Bumgardner, the A-Sun Player of the Year, returning is another good team, as is Kennesaw State and North Florida. I think the year Jacksonville had last year was an aberration and they and Lipscomb will be better. Northern Kentucky is new to the league, but I expect them to have a competitive team as well.
"It is probably a testimony to our program and the success we have had that we were even picked to finish sixth. The thing we have to do is keep our heads above water and learn how to win. If we can do that early, when we get to conference games we can play with confidence."
With so many young players, building confidence will be the main focus for the Stetson coaches this year. If they are successful, then the potential for the Hatters is as limitless as the inevitable approach of a new spring.

At noon every Tuesday, up to 30 guys assemble at Shoey's Cool Creations, 706 S. Sandusky St., to talk about the latest updates on their cars and to make small talk over lunch.
With the average age of the group being 70 years old, conversation often gravitates to topics of health or, as a last resort, maintaining their collectible cars.
"We used to get together to talk about cars and girls, but now it's about cars and who had the last operation," Burt Park joked.
Article Photos
Members of The Car Club that meet Tuesdays at Shoey's Cool Creations pose with a 1910 Pullman car.
Park said he founded the Car Club several years ago.
"The club started when I gave a handicapped friend a ride to go out to eat, then another friend decided to join us, and another friend, as you can imagine," he said.
The Car Club first gathered at Mary and John's Hamburger Shop, but when that business closed, the men needed another place to get together for lunch.
"We like it here. They have the table space, good food and good service and a large enough parking area and they usually like us here," Park said of Cool Creations.
Restaurant owner Paul Shoemaker reiterated Park's rationale.
"We're real fortunate that they chose this restaurant to come to. They have good people and we have good service and good prices, so they keep coming back," said Shoemaker.
One member of the Car Club, who prefers to be identified only as Duane, drove a 1910 Pullman to Cool Creations Tuesday.
"I've been working on this car for 40 years," he said.
He gave several members of the Car Club a ride through town.
Vintage cars are popular among the group.
Seneca County resident Frank Bugner owns a couple.
"I have a 1909 Maxwell and a 1910 Anderson Motor Buggy," Bugner said. "And they run."
"That's the interesting thing," Park added. " They run."
Large flea markets or swap meets often have the parts car buffs are looking for to make their cars work properly.
"Some of these guys go to swap meets," said member Tom Stimmel. "Hershey , Pa., is the largest. (The meet) has vintage auto parts that line 9 miles long. People fly in from Europe and all over to go there."
The Hershey Fall Meet is the largest gathering of collector-car enthusiasts in the United States with more than 10,000 vendors which takes place in early October. The meet also hosts a car show and auction.
Stimmel said he used to race cars all over the country in the late 1950s.
"I raced in Indianapolis, Tulsa, Okla., Michigan and Texas," he said.
He said he has a love for muscle cars.
"I have a '77 Chrysler Cordoba, and one winter I modified the engine in it," he said.
Stimmel gave more insight to the older generation of collectible cars.
"Before the '40s, there were hundreds of brands of cars. Today, there's only a dozen," he noted.
He said Duane's 1910 Pullman was only around for a few years before it was discontinued. The Pullman vehicle originally was manufactured during the Brass Era (1898-1912, according to Park).
Stimmel said what he enjoys about modifying cars is having the mechanical aptitude to fix them and being able to enjoy the cars afterward.
"A lot of us knew of each other in high school and had cars then," Park said. "We all have a common interest."

Financial Aid and Cost Information
In order to make a Swarthmore education available to qualified students, we have designated in excess of $39 million for Swarthmore Scholarships for the 2016-17 academic year. About 53 percent of our student body receives scholarship assistance through Swarthmore on the basis of demonstrated financial need, and a total of 70 percent of our students share more than $44 million in scholarships, loans, and work opportunities during this academic year.
At Swarthmore admissions and financial aid decisions are made independently for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. We carefully consider a range of factors when determining a family's ability to contribute to their student's educational costs. Although Swarthmore financial aid awards are loan-free, some families choose to borrow to pay their share of educational expenses.
Although we believe that the primary responsibility for financing education lies with students and their parents or guardians, we stand ready to help fill in the gap when family resources do not meet our costs. Swarthmore's strong financial aid program demonstrates our commitment to the principle that all capable students have access to the College.

I applaud your good work, BUT, as to your comments "Allogenic Stem Cell has been abandoned since the early 1990's" seems to be non factual. This is published in your treatment brochure as well.
Many cancer centers around the US and the world do many Allo transplants. I had a full ALlo in 2006 and Robin ROberts, noted TV anchorwoman had one last year, well noted on TV. There is a National Marrow Donor Registry, and why would they have this when it has been abandoned in the early 90's?
In early 2011 I had a Mini Allo series of four transplants, all successful as I am on no chemo maintenance and enjoying my eighth year of treatment.
My Sister-in-law is about to have a full Allo transplant in Philadelphia and this is for Leukemia. There is much done with Allo transplant for Leukemia.
I would like to know how you could publish this when the obvious facts say otherwise?
My brother was diagnosed at age 32 and had treatment with an autologous transplant and the chemo therapy drugs. When he relapsed and was not responding well he had another autologous followed by a mini allogenic transplant. My sister was his donor. That was in August 2011. His Myeloma has been in remission since then. He has however been dealing with chronic gvhd, but they have been able to keep it under control so far.

Both the interior and exterior design catches up to that of the Silverado light-duty truck that was released for 2014. Other styling tweaks include the rear bumper CornerStep and LED lights that illuminate the bed.
The heavy-duty truck crowd isn't a particularly tough one to satisfy. If you haul heavy objects, you're going to need some muscle and that's exactly what the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD trucks offer. Like its corporate sibling – the 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD – the Silverado HD is General Motors' response to Ford's F-Series Super Duty and Ram HD trucks. Both the Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD offer your choice of a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline engine and a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, the latter being legendary in its own right. The choices go on from different cab configurations to bed lengths to trim levels. While it's not the brawniest in class, the Silverado HD has plenty of brute strength to get the job done.

Freqently Asked Questions
A: This will depend on how thick the plastic is. A cut-off wheel will cut plastic PVC. The diamond wheel (#545) will also easily cut it. If the application is actually cutting through a piece of plastic, it is important to use a cutter or cutting wheel that will get through the thickness of plastic. Otherwise, you will have to cut the plastic from both directions which can mean a very sloppy cut.
A: The multipurpose bit (#561) with the Cutting Guide Attachment (#565) will work on fiberglass.
A: No, it will not cut floor tile. Floor tile is really thick. It's made with tougher material. The tile cutting accessory will just get red hot and barely scratch the floor tile. Floor tile is generally cut with a wet-saw.
A: The tile cutting bit is most ideal for cutting and shaping tile. It will also work to make holes in terra cotta to create luminary or holes for a plant to drain. They will work to do some shaping or engraving in stone. They will not work on floor tile.
A: We do not have an accessory that will cut glass. The process is very hot and requires a bath or wash and we can not recommend doing that with our tool as the liquid will travel up the shaft to the motor.

The Duchess of Cambridge is set to become a godmother – of a ship.
Fittingly enough, the ship that Kate is to christen with a bottle of Champagne is the 3,600-passenger Royal Princess, the newest addition to the Princess Cruises fleet.
The ceremony is set for June 13 in Southampton, about a month before Kate is due to give birth. Besides the Duchess's blessing, the launch is also to include a performance by the Royal Marines Band and the pipers of the Irish Guards, according to Princess Cruises.
The company's president and CEO, Alan Buckelew, said in a statement: "It is a great honor for Princess Cruises that Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has accepted our invitation to become the Godmother to Royal Princess."
After her maiden voyage, the Royal Princess – whose amenities include an oversized atrium, a glass-bottomed SeaWalk (extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship) and a TV studio – will spend the summer cruising the Mediterranean before heading to the Eastern Caribbean in the fall.

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) has long supported supervision and programming practices rooted in the ever-growing body of the "what works" literature. Implementing evidence based practices begins with utilizing a valid risk and need assessment tool. In 2006, DRC contracted with the University of Cincinnati, Center for Criminal Justice Research, to develop a universal Ohio-based assessment system that would be utilized at various points in the criminal justice system. This project was recently completed and is called the Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS). The ORAS tools can be used at pretrial, prior to or while on community supervision, at prison intake, and in preparation for reentry just prior to release from prison.
House Bill and ORAS: House Bill 86 became effective in 2011 and required DRC to adopt a single validated risk assessment tool to assess the likelihood of future crimes by adult offenders. This tool must be used by the following:
To date there are approximately 4,000 trained and certified ORAS end users from the above listed entities. If you belong to one of the above agencies and need ORAS training, please visit the following site for a list of upcoming trainings:
The Bill also requires each entity to have policies that cover integrating the various tools into operations, administrative oversight, staff training, quality assurance, and data collection and data sharing. The ORAS has been incorporated into DRC policy and community correctional agencies business rules. The use of ORAS is currently statewide.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Natasha Qiana Miller of Altoona was in tears Thursday after being sentenced to a 16- to 32-year state prison term for her part in overseeing the day-to-day operations of a Baltimore to Altoona cocaine ring.
Miller, her friends and relatives in an emotional 3-hour sentencing hearing pleaded with Blair County Judge Elizabeth Doyle for leniency, but police and prosecutors didn't buy Miller's excuse that she was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when she became involved in bringing at least 18 kilograms of cocaine into Blair County in late 2011.
The drug organization operated out of The Corner Bar and Grill at 1001 Eighth Ave., and the lengthy investigation into the drug ring was dubbed by state attorney general's agents and the Blair County Drug Task Force as "Operation Last Call."
Fourteen arrests were made as part of the investigation, and Miller is one of five members of the ring who have now entered guilty pleas. Miller, 31, is the highest ranking member of the ring sentenced so far.
Senior Deputy Attorney General Dave Gorman asked Doyle to impose a 20- to 40-year sentence. Miller's attorney, Joel Peppetti, asked Doyle to give her a reduced sentence, pointing out the sentence requested by the prosecution is the same sentence a person would receive for third-degree murder.
Miller was the longtime girlfriend of alleged ringleader Damion Floyd, who is accused of running the ring for a time from state prison.
Miller was not involved in cutting the cocaine or in street sales but oversaw the money, arranged the trips to Baltimore and supervised Jermaine Samuel, another alleged co-conspirator, Regional Supervisory Agent James Walstrom of the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation said.
As far an overseeing the drug operation, "She was Damion Floyd in that regard," Walstrom said.
Walstrom told the judge that Miller now "greatly diminishes her role. She says she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was well aware of her station. She boasted about it."
Miller is also the mother of two children, ages 2 and 12, and she and her family were concerned that a stiff sentence would bar her from being part of the lives of her children, now in the custody of a grandmother.
Gail Miller of Altoona, in a letter to Doyle, described her daughter as a "remarkable mom," and said her daughter was not a bad person.
"She's a giver, a helper and a selfless person. I would hate for my daughter to waste her passions sitting any longer in jail or prison," Gail Miller wrote.
Doyle called it a "sad day" for a judge to sentence a young person for serious crimes that included several counts of possession with intent to deliver, participating in a corrupt organization, dealing in the proceeds of unlawful activity and conspiracy.
Some people decide to take the easy way rather than traveling the more difficult path in life of holding a legitimate job, Doyle said.
People can become addicted in more than one way when they become involved with drugs, Doyle said.
Miller said she had a drug and alcohol problem, but Doyle said the drug world can lead to addiction to money and power as well.
Miller will also serve five years' probation and pay a $120,000 fine.

Light showers moved through Houston this morning.
With the clouds remaining, some areas of the city could see additional light showers this afternoon, but for the most part it's just going to be gray and cool, with highs maxing out at about 50 degrees.
Late on Sunday the weather could turn a bit more dynamic, with a series of disturbances bringing 1 to 2 inches of rain across the central Houston area primarily on Monday and Tuesday. With the cooler weather it's possible areas to the north and northwest of central Houston could see a wintry mix.
The National Weather Service created the following graphic to illustrate the winter storm possibilities:
Our weather is going to remain quite cold, with highs on Monday only rising into the low 40s. It's probable we'll set a record for low maximum temperature on Monday — the present record is 44 degrees set in 1996.
Expect out skies to begin clearing by later Tuesday, with sunny skies during the second half of the week. Thanksgiving should see highs near 60 degrees. It's going to remain cool, though, and it's possible the region could see a freeze on Thursday and Friday mornings with the clearer skies.
When might we see 70 degrees again? Check back in December.

We are a full-service advertising agency with a history of creating powerful emotional connections to brands. In creating these connections we do more than make our clients' brands top of mind for their target. We find soul mates for our clients' brands.
We are able to achieve this because we don't use a rational approach to sell a brand, but rather emotion to make people want to share ownership for that brand. Such emotional bonds can rekindle the love customers once had for a brand, attract new enthusiasts, motivate employees and reinforce existing loyalists.
Our enemy is complacency, mediocrity and the conventional. We rally against the ordinary and hold sacred the power of inspiration: to transform, to instigate, to delight, to create devotion.
Unlike most great creative agencies, Carmichael Lynch owns and operates a sister public relations firm, Carmichael Lynch Spong, that has achieved Agency of the Year honors from PRWeek, Holmes Report and PRNews trade magazines. For many of our clients, Carmichael Lynch works hand-in-glove with Carmichael Lynch Spong, which is regarded as the undisputed champion of best practices in public relations with few PR firms winning more awards for their work nationally.
Via Ad Age:
Jack Link's Sasquatch is taking Odell Beckham Jr. and Clay Matthews back to the 1980s in a workout-themed campaign the jerky brand might extend into other sports after football season.
New TV commercials debuting Monday include three 30-second videos and 10 to 15 15-second spots.
Sasquatch grunts as he instructs the NFL stars how to do exercises such as tree press, salmon swing, squirrel chase and riding outdated stationary bicycles in what play like teasers for an '80s-style VHS exercise series.
Depending on the spot, either the New York Giants' Mr. Beckham or Green Bay Packers' Mr. Matthews is heard saying "Jack Link's jerky, the protein-packed snack packed with protein" at the end.
The campaign marks Jack Link's first big work under TD Dixon, who joined in April as its first chief marketing officer. He was most recently CMO at Welch's.
"We don't take ourselves too seriously but we wanted to truly communicate a product message," Mr. Dixon said of the protein-focused approach. "Part of what I saw as a gap in our communications portfolio was really hammering home the product benefit."
It's the brand's second stint with Mr. Matthews, who starred in a digital campaign linking Sasquatch to football that generated buzz and helped inspire Jack Link's to look into a broader relationship with the sport. For Mr. Beckham, the Jack Link's campaign is launching at the same time as new work for Campbell's Chunky Soup.
Jack Link's is significantly increasing its marketing spending in the second half of 2016, with plans to spend close to five times what it spent during the latter half of 2015.
"You're going to see this all the time," Mr. Dixon said, adding that about 70% of the campaign is devoted to TV, with 30% on digital.
Carmichael Lynch is Jack Link's creative and media agency. The spots will air during games and sports reporting, as well as on networks such as FX and Spike TV, Mr. Dixon said. Social plans include participation from Mr. Beckham and Mr. Matthews.
Once football season ends, the brand may mix Sasquatch's workout ideas with basketball or other sports. The intent is it could be almost a year-round campaign, with different themes highlighted at the appropriate times. At this point. Mr. Dixon said it was too early to discuss whether other athletes would join in.
On set, the Jack Link's team quickly discovered that Mr. Beckham was a true fan of the product.
"He would not stop eating jerky," recalled Johnna Rossbach, Jack Link's director of marketing integration. "We had a spit bucket for him, but that was never used."
Jack Link's, which is privately held, said sales totaled $1.2 billion last year.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Molecular biomarkers and diagnostics are playing increasingly important roles in the modern pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. To more efficiently discover drugs, companies now increasingly apply these technologies in order to find the right drug for the right patient. These efforts are leading to the gradual realization of personalized medicine across the globe.
One of the forces driving the development of personalized medicine is genomic and proteomic research. Genomics and proteomics directly facilitate the development of new biomarkers and diagnostic tools. Moreover, genomics and proteomics are also increasingly employed in the development of translational medicines as the technologies can lead to the discovery of antibody-based biomarkers that are able to predict not only the efficacy but also the safety of a drug candidate.
Currently, there are about 250 Chinese companies involved in genomic and proteomic research and its application in the development of biomarkers and diagnostic products. Of these companies, about 70% were founded in the last three to five years. A large portion (about 25%) of these firms were either founded by foreign companies as their wholly owned Chinese divisions or jointly founded with local Chinese partners. Among the companies founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, a majority (about 80%) were founded by "sea turtles" who possess knowledge, experience, and skills gained from working abroad.
In the past, genomic and proteomic research in China was mainly conducted at the country's research institutions. The Chinese government realized the potential of these technologies early on and has provided financial support and favorable policies.
The current capabilities of Chinese companies pursuing genomic and proteomic research include the development of reagents for measuring molecular events such as intracellular pathways, cell signaling, and gene expression, and development of nucleic acid-based biochips that can be integrated into next-generation diagnostic products.
Some companies also provide service for DNA synthesis, pathway profiling of lead compounds, assay development, and high-content/-throughput screening. Their capabilities in proteomic research include protein expression, protein structural determination, molecular cloning for construction of monoclonal antibodies, and synthesis of gene vectors.
Using their skills and experience in genomics and proteomics, some companies also provide services for target identification and validation to help drug companies elucidate disease-causing mechanisms. A number of Chinese organizations also possess large-scale genetic databases resulting from genome/proteome sequencing. With their strong capability in bioinformatics, these organizations also provide custom service to outside companies.
At present the majority of China-based companies conducting genomic and proteomic research are focusing on the development of diagnostic products including testing reagents and kits for hospital and/or laboratory use. Most of the products are for in vitro use and were developed based on nucleic acid technologies.
A growing number of China-based companies also offer diagnostic testing services, including quantitative- and real-time PCR-based diagnostic assays.
So far we have not seen any evidence that Chinese biotech companies are capable of independently developing (including identification and validation) biomarkers to support clinical research. A number of them do, however, possess the ability to detect and analyze biomarkers.
This shortcoming is related to the industry's short service history. The majority of these Chinese biotech firms are still limited in service scope, capability, capacity, and experience compared with their counterparts in the developed countries. Currently, only a small number of them could be considered world-class players.

March 12, 1913 – Feb. 13, 2013
James R. Continelli, a retired compositor for the Buffalo Courier-Express, died Wednesday at St. Francis of Williamsville Nursing Home.
Mr. Continelli was 99 and just 27 days short of his 100th birthday.
Born in New York City, Mr. Continelli attended Elm Vocational High School in Buffalo, where he earned a diploma as a printer apprentice. He was in the Merchant Marines during World War II, serving on a troop and supply carrier crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He also saw combat action while on the Mediterranean Sea.
Mr. Continelli was a compositor in the composing room of the Courier Express for 42 years, retiring in 1965.
He was a Eucharistic minister at St. Louis Catholic Church and was a third-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. In 1995, he was awarded the St. Joseph the Worker Medal from the Buffalo Catholic Diocese for his service to the Catholic community in Western New York.
Mr. Continelli also was an active member of the International Typographical Union for more than 75 years and received a lifetime service award. In addition, he was a supporter of the Rainbow Day Care Center of Buffalo and Cradle Beach.
He is survived by two daughters, Mary Lou Nevin and Lucille Whalen; a son, Louis; and a sister, Mildred Campbell.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9:30 a.m. on Monday in St. Louis Catholic Church, 780 Main St.

For more than 30 years, Tony Lentz has used what he called a "powerful" medium to give a performance of the beloved Christmas tale, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens.
That medium is storytelling.
"If you tell a good story and do it with feeling, people compile what's going on in their imagination," he said.

Tony Lentz acts out a scene from "A Christmas Carol" during a performance in 2010.
A woman once came up to him after a performance and asked what he had done to her through his performance, and he answered that it was not him. He merely supported her imagination, he said.
The retired Penn State University instructor of communication arts and sciences will once again awaken the imaginations of audience members with a performance of his one-man show at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Attic at the State Theatre in?State College.
Tickets are $5, with proceeds benefiting The State Theatre.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Tony Lentz's one-man show of "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens
When: 2 p.m. Saturday
Where: The Attic at The State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave., State College
Tickets: Tickets are $5 with proceeds benefiting The State Theatre
"This is the 35th year Dr. Lentz has been performing his one-man show of 'The Christmas Carol,' and the State Theatre is absolutely thrilled to have him perform in the Attic at the State Theatre," said the theater's marketing director, Cathy Brown. "The Attic at the State Theatre is a very intimate performing space which allows for a very touching and personal performance."
When he was a freshman college student in 1965, Lentz saw professor Earl Wynn give the performance at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Lentz said he decided to carry on the "wonderful tradition" when he later ended up teaching oral interpretation.
The first year Lentz did a show, several people came in, looked at him dressed in his tuxedo tails and headed back out the door, he said.
Today, the show is a tradition.
"The show's popularity is due for many reasons," Brown said. "It's a traditional classic presented in a new way many have not seen, with one very talented person playing multiple characters. Lastly, it offers a message people never grow [tired of] hearing: That it is never too late to see the value and beauty in the simple joys around you, and the real happiness in Christmas, as well as in life, comes from giving rather than receiving."
Lentz also had a heartfelt take on the meaning behind the story.
"Little by little, he turns into a human being," Lentz said of Scrooge. "It becomes a very uplifting story about the choices you make in life. The moral of the story is that life can be joyous whatever our situation, if we choose to make it so."
Christmas is a happy time, Lentz said.
"Say 'Merry Christmas,' give gifts and value human connection," he said.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - If you occasionally see a doctor, are planning surgery or (God forbid) are facing hospitalization, stand by for a ram. At the end of this month, Obamacare will crank still another notch toward its January 1, 2014, full implementation. The 2,000-plus page law, of which then Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: "We have to pass this bill to see what's in it," has so many moving parts it's hard to fathom what the final result will be.So when the Republican Men's Club of Northern Nevada assembled three top Reno area physicians and the CEO of a medical device company at their December meeting in the Atlantis Casino, I signed up. How better to get the straight scoop than hearing from those most directly impacted by the law.First to speak was Cardiologist Costa Arger (who is also co-owner of Arger-Martucci Winery). Dr. Arger's opinion is that Obamacare was designed to end the private practice of medicine. He said that Obamacare, which failed to gain a single Republican vote, ignored tort reform and anti-competitive prohibitions on interstate health insurance. He pointed out that 17 states (not including Nevada) are refusing to implement the state insurance exchanges, a provision of the law overturned by the US Supreme Court. Dr. Arger believes that Medicare patients will lose the most as the law gets implemented Obamacare raided the Medicare trust fund of billions of dollars because congressionally mandated, but not implemented, Medicare reimbursement cuts are supposed to reduce the agency's costs. Since Congress keeps postponing implementation of the cuts, the hit keeps getting bigger ... currently 27 percent. The politicians know implementation will be highly unpopular. Currently Medicare providers are required to put all patient data on computers at a cost ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 per patient. Then all those data are shared with the government and doctors are actually graded on the quality of their data input.Family physician Dulynn Hastings spoke next. He addressed the challenge from the standpoint of doctors as small business persons. Caught between rising costs and drastically reduced Medicare reimbursements he foresees a trend of physicians retiring followed by an influx of foreign doctors and an increase in physicians' assistants and nurse practitioners. He predicts the result will be an impaired quality of medical services available. He is also distressed about the Obamacare's "Accountable Care Organization" provision which will bar reimbursements for medical visits to clinics such as UCSF in San Francisco, Mayo Clinics and the like.Internist Ron Smith then spoke, also predicting the retirement of many physicians and also warning of the results of drastic cuts in Medicare reimbursement rates to medical service providers. He believes that most physicians will have to refuse new Medicare patients which will also apply to Medicaid patients, the largest group to become eligible for coverage under the law. His experience is that even at current reimbursement rates the costs associated with treating Medicare/Medicaid patients just equals the revenue. Finally brand new Nevadan Tim Duvall spoke. He is CEO of Neo Medical, a medical device producer which just moved to Sparks from California. His concern is Medicare reimbursement rates as well as a brand new 2.3 percent franchise fee Obamacare will levy on medical devices starting January 1. He said he moved his company in a cost-saving effort but may now have to consider manufacturing outside the US.It's too bad Pelosi and her colleagues didn't read the bill before they passed it.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County & Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at email@example.com.

When they design the new building, I hope they remember to make the seats more "fan friendly". We're not all 50 pound 10 year old girls! I'm only 5'10" & my knees dig into the seat in front of me. And the fact that I am, how should I say it, a little "wide", it's a hell of a process even trying to grease myself up to try & slide into one of the seats at the Joe! Heck, my brother in law, who goes to some games with me, is of average hieght/build, and he has trouble fitting in the seats! Just a couple extra inches in seat width & a few more inches of leg room would make a trip to the Pizza Dome a lot more pleasant than the Joe. The seats in Saginaw at the Dow Event Center are perfect... wide enough for us big guys, and plenty of leg room. Granted, a much smaller arena, but they should be able to do it. I have been in other big arenas with wider seats/more legroom.
The Pizza Dome... lol... I am assuming this will be "Little Caesar's Arena" or something stupid... but what SHOULD the new arena be called (not a 'sponsor' name)? Wings Stadium?

Robotic milking unites current and prospective DeLaval VMS™ users
Robotic milking unites current and prospective DeLaval VMS™ users
In January of this year, DeLaval hosted current and prospective customers of DeLaval VMS™ (Voluntary Milking System) at events in Madison, Wis. The VMS PRO (Professional Robot Operators) User Group Seminar and the DeLaval VMS Freedom to Choose Tour united for a day of exchanging information and sharing experiences.
"DeLaval has a proven track record of providing cutting-edge automated milking solutions to help enhance farm efficiency," says Francisco Rodriguez, Dairy Management Advisor, Automatic Milking for DeLaval Inc. "As a company, we are fully committed to helping our customers with this major shift in technology, and to successfully advance automation in the dairy industry we must continuously share knowledge together."
This was the first time both programs of the VMS tour and PRO seminar overlapped, and the turnout resulted in record attendance for both groups totaling 130 customers from the United States and Canada. The joint meeting consisted of presentations about barn planning and multiple user panels on cow traffic, bedding management, holding areas, feed bunk management and ventilation.
DeLaval VMS customers were eager to share their robotic milking experience so those considering the technology might benefit from their feedback. Mark Futcher, DeLaval Inc's Marketing Manager for Automatic Milking, adds, "We're pleased that our efforts to bring dairy producers together with veterinarians, nutritionists, lenders, and our own experts have been so successful. Together, we share a passion for sustainable dairying, and customers' growing preference for DeLaval VMS is in no small way the result of our commitment."
VMS PRO User Group Seminar, January 16-18, 2012
Forty-five North American users of DeLaval VMS met in Wisconsin for two days of continued learning and information sharing. The first day focused on VMS best practices and system updates, including DelPro™ 3.5 software training. The second day saw more than 10 VMS producers give presentations about their dairies while fellow users and prospective customers had the opportunity to ask questions.
The VMS PRO User Group, established in 2011, was created to open up a dialog between system users and DeLaval. This year, groups in the U.S. and Canada will meet regularly to discuss issues specific to their region. Canada will host the next North American VMS User Group Seminar this September in conjunction with the third annual VMS tour in Ontario.
VMS Freedom to Choose Tour, January 17-19, 2012
This marked the first-ever VMS tour in Wisconsin and the company's largest Freedom to Choose Tour with 85 prospective VMS customers attending – a testament to producers' growing need to employ reliable labor and desire to use their time more efficiently. Participants spent their first day learning the key performance indicators of VMS operations and hearing from current VMS users about their choices in barn design and cow comfort.
Equipped with the knowledge to identify what will work best with their own management strategy, the touring producers spent the next two days visiting a total of six VMS farms.
"We visited a good mix of new barns and retrofitted barns, proving to producers that an automated operation does not require investing in a new facility," comments Sybil Birmingham, Marketing Communications Coordinator for DeLaval Inc. "The tour participants also saw examples of feed first, milk first and free flow operations. Any one of these options will work. It's really up to the producers to choose what will work best for them and their management style."
Upcoming DeLaval Profound Productivity Tours
The DeLaval World Ag Expo Tour, February 15-19, will spend one day at the agricultural trade show in Tulare, Calif., and visit four dairy farms milking from 3,500 to 10,000 cows using a wide variety of DeLaval milking and herd management solutions.
Other tours scheduled in 2012 include an automated calf feeding tour, April 4-5, in LaCrosse, Wisc., and the VMS Freedom to Choose Tour, September 11-15, in Ontario, Canada.

Finally, a simple solution for those who don't have the time to make demi-glace, but require it for recipes that call for a rich, brown stock.
Our duck and veal demi-glace is made using a traditional recipe of duck and veal bones, plenty of aromatic vegetables, water and wine. There is no flour, gelatin or salt added.
The secret ingredient is time: the gelatinous texture and rich flavor is the result of 48 hours of slow-cooking and reduction.
You'll be amazed at the body and richness our demi-glace gives your sauce. It's a staple that you'll want to have on hand in your freezer all the time—right next to the duck fat.
Use demi-glace as a base for your favorite meat sauces, stocks, soups and braises. For a delicious pan sauce in minutes, sweat some chopped shallots in pan-drippings, add fresh herbs and deglaze with demi-glace. Add a small knob of black truffle butter to finish. Delicious!

Mishandling even just one or two 911 calls is serious business. It is no exaggeration to say that such a foul-up could make the difference between life and death.
But failing to dispatch help for 45 emergency 911 calls is a symptom of far bigger problems at the Charleston County Consolidated 911 Center.
Charleston County detectives Tuesday arrested and charged one employee, Dezerea S. Shelton, with obstructing justice and misconduct in office. All 45 calls that were not dispatched between Jan. 8 and Aug. 25 were allegedly handled by her. She was fired Sept. 5.
One was a call for medical help, and the remainder were for law enforcement assistance. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported as a result, and no other 911 center employees were involved, according to county officials.
But only an impaired system would fail to detect the problem for so long. Indeed, the situation was not discovered until The Post and Courier began investigating why Mount Pleasant police were not notified about a burglary that neighbors had called about twice.
Charleston County Administrator Kurt Taylor said, "It is unfortunate that this individual failed to do her job," adding that the center has "outstanding" training.
"I will not tolerate any employee's failure to perform duties that could affect public safety," Mr. Taylor said.
Of course he shouldn't.
But his strong words should be directed toward the employee's supervisors as well as Miss Shelton. There should be checks and balances in an operation so essential to public safety.
Jim Lake, director of the 911 center, said a new protocol is in place and should make a difference. End-of-shift reports will now show blank incidents immediately. And shift supervisors will be required to review these reports daily. In addition, random audits will be conducted more frequently,
Even with these sensible, swift actions, it will take the 911 center some time to earn back the public's trust.
Meanwhile, the area's emergency responders, who rely on the 911 center to inform them of fires, burglaries, assaults and medical emergencies, should report any inconsistencies they encounter.
The county already performs criminal background checks and drug and polygraph tests before hiring employees. Perhaps job candidates should be subject to even greater scrutiny.
People need to know that when they call 911, the appropriate agency will be dispatched to assist. Immediately.
The Charleston County Consolidated 911 Center serves a vital function. The public must have every confidence that it operates at maximum efficiency.

|Beyond the Lone-Pair Model for Structurally Distorted Metal Oxides
"Ferroelectricity," by analogy to ferromagnetism, is defined as the presence of spontaneous electrical polarization in a material, often arising from distortions in the material's crystal structure. In oxides of the metals lead and bismuth, such distortions were for many years attributed to the existence of "lone pair" electrons: pairs of chemically inert, nonbonding valence electrons in hybrid orbitals that leave noticeable voids in the crystal structure. At the ALS, researchers from the U.K., Ireland, and the U.S. have now obtained definitive experimental evidence that this lone-pair model must be revised. High-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and soft x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) have clarified the subtle electronic origins of the prototypical distortions in these crystal structures. The results have important implications for the tantalizing possibility of spintronic or superconducting devices combining ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties.
The asymmetrical crystal structures of the metal oxides α-PbO and α-Bi2O3 were for many years explained by the hybridization of the metals' 6s and 6p orbitals, which are occupied by metal 6s electrons, assumed to lie close to the Fermi energy (EF) in the solid state. This conventional "lone-pair" model, however, has recently been called into question on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations that suggest that the majority of the 6s population in α-PbO is in fact found at the bottom of the main valence band, about 10 eV below EF. However, definitive experimental evidence supporting this idea has been lacking.
In this study, the investigators showed that consideration of the relative intensities of valence-band components in oxygen K-shell XES, obtained at ALS Beamline 7.0.1, provides a simple but incisive experimental approach to investigating the nature of lone-pair states in metal oxides, especially when compared with the intensities of features in XPS obtained from an aluminum Kα x-ray source. Both XPS and XES spectra (and the corresponding DFT calculations) show a well-defined band (labelled III) that lies about 10 eV below the top of the valence band. However, this band diminishes dramatically in the XES data. Since oxygen K-shell XES is governed by a very strict selection rule that allows only states of oxygen 2p character to decay into the oxygen 1s core hole, the XES data directly measures the oxygen 2p partial density of states (PDOS).
The conclusion, fully supported by DFT calculations, is that there can be little oxygen 2p character in this band, and by default, the associated electronic states must have dominant metal 6s character. These findings confirm that the structural distortions in α-PbO and α-Bi2O3 should not be attributed to the direct hybridization of metal orbitals close to EF, resulting in purely metal-based 6s-6p lone pairs. Instead, the dominant contribution to the metal 6s PDOS is found at the bottom rather than the top of the valence band, and indirect mixing between 6s and 6p states is mediated by hybridization with oxygen 2p states at the top of the valence band.
It follows that qualitative textbook explanations of structural distortions in many heavy post-transition-metal compounds should be revised, with important implications for understanding the structural physics of, for example, magnetic ferroelectric materials such as BiMnO3 and BiFeO3. The results are also of general significance in relation to the electronic structures of ternary lead and bismuth oxides, including the many high-temperature superconducting phases that contain these heavy cations. It has in the past been assumed that the 6s states lie close to EF and therefore contribute significantly to the states responsible for conduction in metallic phases. The present findings demonstrate that this viewpoint is not correct. Again, this will have an impact on our understanding and tuning of the physical properties of these and related materials.

Lindy Ruff may be a guy out of a job.
But he also may be something a little less downbeat:
A symbol.
It's true. Everywhere you look these days around the Buffalo region, there are striking changes – and fresh beginnings.
With spring a month away, the zeitgeist in Western New York these late-winter days seems to be this:
Things are happening, at long last. Momentum seems to be building.
And maybe Buffalo is coming, after a long hibernation, a little bit into its own.
Ruff is one of those signs. Though many people in the area said Friday how much they loved and respected the longtime Buffalo Sabres hockey coach, they agreed the move undeniably represents a fresh start, one that matches the freshness of the Sabres ownership, under Terry Pegula, still only two years old.
Beyond hockey, many Western New York groups and organizations are also turning a new page. Institutions are starting over, and unveiling clean slates.
The Buffalo Bills have a new coach lined up for this fall. Canisius basketball – winning once more – is seeing what can happen when you bring in new blood.
Andrew J. Rudnick's lengthy tenure as head of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership – a post he has held for some 20 years – will end in June.
The Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo History Museum have seen changes of leadership. UB is just two years into a new president. The Buffalo News saw the departure of a longtime publisher and editor, and gained new ones.
There are fresh faces in Congress, too, and in other places in government and civic life.
The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has a new bishop.
And, oh yes: spring is just a month away – but across the landscape, construction cranes have beaten the crocus and daffodils at their own game.
New buildings are springing up in downtown Buffalo again, in the harbor area, the burgeoning downtown medical campus, and elsewhere.
All this adds up to a fresh new feeling among many in the Buffalo region.
"It's a start," said Hamburg resident Mike O'Brien, an account manager for a pharmaceutical company. "It's definitely headed in the right direction."
The change is one that many residents said they have waited a long time to experience.
"I've lived here all my life," said Jessica Chojecki, 24, a restaurant employee from Lake View. "It's good to see the differences. To see change finally happening – after all the talk about it – is great."
Even people who aren't from Buffalo, but visit the city, see and feel the difference.
"I get a sense that there is a new optimism," said Stan Ball, a Sudbury, Ont., resident, who said he visits Buffalo a few times a month for shopping, concerts and professional sports events.
"I like what I see. I really like what's happening with the waterfront downtown," Ball said.
It all raises a serious question: Is Buffalo suddenly in a new era when things that would have been laughed at before – or pooh-poohed out of hand – seem newly achievable?
The new medical campus on the edge of downtown is taking shape before our collective eyes.
The reborn Erie Canal area showed itself off during Navy Week and other events related to the region's War of 1812 commemorations last fall.
And, at a public forum held last week at Erie Community College's City Campus about a proposed new domed stadium project for the city's waterfront area, the comments of dozens of residents attending the session reflected such an upward shift in optimism.
"This is the time to be great," said one resident, who described himself as a Buffalo Bills season-ticket holder of 28 years' standing. "Now's the time to take a stand and do this for Buffalo."
"It's our time," the man urged. "Let's go with it."
Erie County Legislature Chairwoman Betty Jean Grant echoed the positive sentiment.
"If you build it, they will stay," Grant said of the feasibility of the $1.4 billion idea for keeping the Bills in Buffalo. "We really need to think about the future."
Some injected a note of caution, however.
Crystal and Matt Gifford of Blasdell, who like to travel, said that visiting other cities quickly pokes a hole in their optimism about the pace of change and development here.
"We were just out of town – we were in Ohio and Pittsburgh – and we were like, 'Why do we live here?'" said Crystal Gifford, a nurse. "There were so many things to do. It was like, 'This is a true city.' "
Matt Gifford added: "Until I see the buildings go up, I don't believe it."
Some of the new excitement might have to do with a shift toward youth: younger people, younger ideas and ways of thinking.
The new director at the Albright-Knox, to take one example, is 42. Janne Sirén has just come to Buffalo from Helsinki, Finland.
Ruff, by contrast, had been in his coaching job since 1997.
"I think you're going to see a younger generation that really wants to do good things for Western New York," said Chojecki, a Canisius College graduate who travels to Poland for a month each year to do charitable work.
"They've seen this [region] growing up – and they really want to make changes."
In the news conferences and interviews surrounding Ruff's departure, the undercurrent of thirst for change and new energy surfaced again and again.
"We have to move forward," said Thomas Vanek, a Sabres player and alternate captain, in stories in The News last week. He spoke of a "new philosophy" that might help the team succeed.
T.J. Brennan, another player, spoke of the "positivity" of the move, in news reports.
Here's one dilemma, however.
Buffalo has been talking about a second chance at greatness for what seems like forever.
If, now and at long last, things are actually happening, will we be able to recognize that shift for what it means?
Or are we shaped by our last 50 years as a community – a half-century of decline in population, and all-too-frequent dwindling of hopes?
A people used to long winters, gray Februarys, and cold climate, might we be just a little bit slow to realize the signs of incipient spring?
"As someone who's never going to leave," said O'Brien, the Hamburg resident, "I really want things to happen here."
"I don't want to buy into it so much – and then be disappointed."

BELOIT- Just two years into her high school career, West Branch's Melinda Trimmer has made quite a name for herself on the basketball court.
Now she'll get to do it all again on an even bigger stage.
The junior point guard and 2013 Northeastern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year verbally committed to continue her basketball career at Youngstown State. Trimmer is following in the footsteps of her father, Earl, a 1994 graduate of YSU, as well as her brothers, Brock and Victor, both of whom are current students at YSU.
"My brothers are going to be able to watch me play," Trimmer said of why she chose the Penguins. "Ultimately, it was my decision and I loved it there, but going to school with my brothers again is definitely a factor."
Trimmer did not receive any other offers, but did look at attending Cleveland State or Gardner-Webb. Youngstown State was her top choice the whole time, though.
Her decision is an early one, made before she has even stepped on the court for her junior season. With so much time left at West Branch, Trimmer said that getting the commitment out of the way will allow her to focus more on the Warriors' upcoming season.
"I loved it there more than anything," Trimmer said. "It's nice to get the decision out of the way and focus on what I want to do with my team for the next two years. I won't have to worry about that so I can look forward to the future."
Opponents should be terrified that she could get even better after leading the Warriors in scoring and assists each of her first two seasons.
As a sophomore, Trimmer led West Branch in scoring (16.4), assists (6.2), steals (2.4) and free throw percentage (79.2). She also shot 43 percent from three-point range and, as West Branch coach Walt DeShields will be quick to mention, set a school record with 188 assists.
"She loves to have the ball in her hands," DeShields said, "But the unselfish part is that she led our team in assists both her freshman and sophomore years. That's really big for a point guard. She's a leader on the team. The other girls know that when they're open she'll get them the ball."
DeShields and West Branch have enjoyed a renaissance in its girls basketball program since Trimmer arrived. The Warriors have gone 44-6 in the past two years, including a pair of trips to the district championship. Last season, West Branch grabbed a share of the NBC title since 2005.
For Trimmer, however, the Warriors are just getting started.
"I see us working really hard this season," Trimmer said. "We've had some heartbreaking losses the past two years. I know we're going to make a push this year, so I'm expecting a lot out of this team."
In her freshman year, Trimmer averaged 10.5 points and 6.7 assists a game, both team highs, as the Warriors finished 21-3. To step us as one of the team's leaders as a freshman, Trimmer said, was an experience she could not have managed alone.
"My teammates accepted me," Trimmer said. "I couldn't have stepped into that position without my teammates and coaches' help. At first, I was nervous, but with my team giving me confidence, I felt like I fit right in and I just took on that role."
Last season, the Warriors finished 23-3 overall, including a 12-2 record in the NBC. However, West Branch's season ended the same place it had in 2012 - a district final loss to Canfield. With two more seasons remaining at West Branch, Trimmer knows there is time for improvement, both as an individual and as a team.
"I want to get better, faster and stronger," Trimmer said. "If I can keep doing that, I know I can help out my team. I want to help out more for when college starts."
Trimmer's basketball honors include being named first-team Northeast Ohio Inland District and All-Ohio Division II special mention last season.
In 2008, Trimmer finished fourth in the nation at the Elks National Hoop Shoot free throw competition in Springfield, Mass, after winning the Great Lakes regional and Ohio state competitions.
Trimmer intends to study biology and pre-med at YSU to pursue a career as a dentist and orthodontist.

Grier Coppins and Pat O'Gorman don't just play bagpipes as a vocation, they play it as a lifestyle, and if you're one of those who have always turned your nose up at this most maligned of sounds, good news! These guys have never sounded better....more
Celtic folk-rock band, Rare Air (formerly named Na Cabarfeidh) was founded by in the late 70s by Canadian bagpipers Pat O'Gorman and Grier Coppins.
When still called Na Cabarfeidh, the band's music incorporated a funk bass and Polynesian percussion with the traditional Celtic music of Brittany, North America, and Ireland. Utilizing traditional Celtic instrumentation of flutes and whistles, alongside bombardes, keyboards, and a funk bass guitar, the pipe-heavy band created a unique sound that took them around the world. Rare Air released six albums total, including Green Linnet titles Hard to Beat(1987), Primeval (1989), and Space Piper (1991).

Montag filed for divorce from Pratt, 27, in July, but after spending time together in Costa Rica – and after Pratt publicly apologized to his wife – Montag, 23, has decided take her hubby back.
"We are back together trying to make things work," the couple tell PEOPLE exclusively. "Costa Rica really put things in perspective. We do love each other and realized we do want to spend the rest of our lives together."
The papers were filled out on Monday by Montag's attorney, Jodeane Farrell, and officially filed into the court record two days later, according to documents obtained Thursday.
"After spending time together over these past several months Heidi and Spencer have decided to reconcile," Farrell tells PEOPLE.
The couple, who were spotted smooching earlier this month, will return to their status before the court filing, as husband and wife.

They're back, and not a moment too soon.
Businesses that catered to Buffalo hockey fans suffered mightily during the National Hockey League's 113-day lockout, while Western New York's hockey fans went through an extended period of withdrawal. There was hardly a "Woo-hoo!" to be heard as the cavernous First Niagara Center stood empty and silent.
No more. Today, the Sabres play hockey in the first game of a radically shortened season. Teams will play just 48 regular season games. Fans will savor them all, having apparently made peace with the fact that professional sports is, first and foremost, big business. Strikes and lockouts are part of the deal. All will be forgiven.
But it has been a burden. Livelihoods have been threatened and, while that is not the primary concern of the billionaires and millionaires who make up this league, we hope they will at least keep those people in mind before they create another disruption in play. They aren't in this alone. The players and owners signed a 10-year deal, so there should be some respite from what has become an all-too-familiar ordeal.
This afternoon, the Philadelphia Flyers will take on the Sabres in Buffalo and, even if it's a bad game, it will be a thrill. How long has it been since fans have been treated to the sight of waves of attackers swarming the net, of defensemen heading off trouble and of goaltenders snatching a sure thing out of the air? Too long.
The Sabres have become a part of the Buffalo DNA. For more than four decades, the team has played hockey in downtown Buffalo, quickly establishing itself as a contender. There have been many heartbreaks since those early days and, thus far, no Stanley Cup.
Will this be the year? The experts will argue about that but, for our part, we're happy the team has a chance to show what it can do.
Is it 12:30 yet?
