Dear Rookies: Let me welcome you to Buffalo even though you will not play a single game in the city and likely will not live there. Ralph Wilson Stadium was built in Orchard Park back when your grandparents were around your age, and it's likely to be sold out for seven home games this season.
I'll save you the trouble before you ask. Nobody has a sensible reason for building the stadium in the suburbs rather than downtown. When the stadium opened in 1973, the city's population was about 200,000 higher than it is now. The population figures are a tad misleading. Many left the city for the suburbs, such as Orchard Park.
Wait, it just dawned on me that you weren't questioning the location of your new home. You wanted to know why there were only seven home games rather than eight.
That's easy: Money.
The Bills have one game in Toronto every year under the guise they're expanding their fan base into Canada, which is just across the Peace Bridge (DO NOT ask about the Peace Bridge). It's true only to a point. The Bills have fans in Southern Ontario, but most would rather drive to Orchard Park than Toronto to watch a game. The atmosphere is better here than in Toronto, which is to say there's atmosphere.
Toronto doesn't really have any allegiance to Buffalo, but the Bills franchise does appreciate the fat paycheck that comes with playing one game there every year. For years, players have complained about the game because TO feels like an away game and OP is definitely a home game. It should be stopped ASAP, but it continues because they can't resist the $$.
In return, the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL play a few home games in Buffalo. That's just a little inside joke, but that leads me to another point. This is a hockey hotbed. If you're interested in seeing a quality hockey game, Canisius College and Niagara University are a short drive away.
Otherwise, you're out of luck.
But that's for me to say, not you.
Remember, you're a rookie. Keep your ears open and your mouth closed. It will take you a long way in the locker room and a longer way in the community. Buffalo is a small town, but it's not Mayberry. The people here love their connection to big-time football players, but they never fully embrace big-time attitudes.
EJ Manuel, ask your godfather.
Do not admit to reading this. It equates to breaking a cardinal, although unwritten, rule of every professional athlete. Today, you will be told to ignore what's being said in the media. You probably learned that in college, but around here it really means don't read anything unless your team is headed for the playoffs. Then, read everything.
In terms of years, it's been a baker's dozen since the Bills reached the postseason. You were likely working on fourth or fifth grade. Many years ago, around the time you were born, the Bills reached four straight Super Bowls. DO NOT ask anyone over 35 years old what happened in those games, especially the first one.
Here's some advice: If the kicker misses to the right side of the post, avoid saying publicly that he missed the kick wide right. It's a communal kick in the stomach. People accuse you of being insensitive and clock you with a left hook. And that's just the women. Just know there's a reason Wide Right is capitalized in these parts.
However, there is no better place – and I mean NO BETTER PLACE ON THIS PLANET – to play than Western New York when the Bills A) make the playoffs; B) win a playoff game; or C) contend for a championship. At least that's how it was 18 years ago, which was the last time anyone experienced B.
Good heavens, that was before the Internet.
That's not true, according to the Internet.
And that brings us to social media. Stevie Johnson is a must-follow on Twitter for entertainment purposes only. Examine his Twitter feed. Study his approach. Make note of the things he says and the message he's trying to convey. When you have it figured out and are prepared to tweet, write the direct opposite of what Stevie would say.
Looking for a true leader? Follow guys like Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller.
Jackson never forgot that he was an undrafted free agent from a Division III college, worked his tail off, has had quite a career and made a good buck. Spiller was a first-round pick out of Clemson who never whined about playing behind Jackson and is now an emerging star. Kyle Williams is another consummate professional. All are class acts.
You can learn a different lesson from Mario Williams, who signed a $100 million contract before last season. The Bills spent two days wining and dining him. They flew his fiancee into town to show her around. He vanished for the first half of last season. She vanished with a $785,000 engagement ring, and plenty more, after the season.
My point: Be careful. People will try to capitalize on your fame and fortune. But it helps to inject common sense into the equation, too. If you feel it's necessary to buy a 10-carat engagement ring, which is about 10 times the median price of a home in the city of Buffalo, find a girlfriend who doesn't care about your job title.
After all, good people are easy to find in Buffalo. They're everywhere. Really, for six days out of the week, they don't ask for much. You can have fun without being hassled. It just takes a little while to understand the region. Before long, you will fall in love with the place the way Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Steve Tasker and many others did.
When family comes to town and wants to see Niagara Falls, take them to the Canadian side. The Anchor Bar is known for its chicken wings, but there are a zillion other places. They are not Buffalo wings. They are definitely not buffalo wings. They aren't even chicken wings. They're just wings. And they're only for kickers and punters.
Don't let me forget the weather. It's not what you see on television. It's much worse. Just kidding. The national news only shows up after a storm. It was beautiful for a week before you arrived. It doesn't snow in May, not usually, anyway. Summer and autumn are gorgeous. The winter is … you know this is Buffalo, right?
Take comfort knowing that warm people and hot quarterbacks offset cold winters.
During the glory days, the Bills used the weather to their advantage. Kelly & Co. approached cloudy and 20 degrees like sunny and 80. I don't remember the Bills complaining about the weather when they were stacking up AFC championships. I do remember opponents being petrified, however.
Anyway, the snow isn't the problem.
The Bills are the problem.
That's where you guys come into play. This city has never won a Super Bowl or a Stanley Cup. That's a whole bunch of losing, and it never gets easy. What happens in Orchard Park on Sunday directly affects the mood in the 7-1-6 on Monday. The sooner you understand that, the better for everyone.
Welcome to your new home. Now, get to work.

Kostitsyn decides to go for a line change instead of guarding a two-on-two. The result is a shorthanded goal.
Article: http://nesn.com/2013...ded-goal-video/
The Nashville Predators forward made arguably the most boneheaded play of the NHL season on Sunday night, and it cost his club dearly. When he wasn't able to control a puck in his offensive end on the power play, Kostitsyn was forced to get back on defense. He started to do so and then inexplicably stopped.

I freaking love the new x and y skin. It looks awesome! I am a fan of the darker skins, I actually changed from the Rock skin. I will probably use it for a while. I am not a fan of the red, but it needed to be there and it doesn't detract from it too much. I like the fact that the dark blue is the main color of the skin.

shouldn't the X & Y have waited until we got more information/images of the 6th gen? Not criticizing the actual theme, looks great!
As for something to replace the Serebii Sprites, well we really don't have any kind of images yet to use in place of them. So they'll have to stay as they are for the time being.

Stiffen the penalty for animal cruelty
Like many other Western New Yorkers, I was shocked and disgusted to learn that a few weeks ago someone had lit a 16-week-old Jack Russell Terrier puppy, now named Phoenix, on fire. I have two puppies at home that my boyfriend and I treat like our children and I cannot even begin to fathom what type of hateful monster would do this to an innocent animal.
On Nov. 14, the community learned that 17-year-old Diondre Brown and 19-year-old Adell Zeigler, both of whom were described as violent and having criminal pasts, are facing felony charges for aggravated animal cruelty and if convicted could face up to one-and-one-third to four years in prison.
Under current New York State animal cruelty laws, it is clear that Phoenix will not get the justice he deserves and that many community members feel is appropriate. How can this deplorable act carry such a small jail sentence? There have been numerous studies and professional articles written about how killing and being cruel to animals is a stepping-stone for sociopathic individuals, which increases the likelihood they will kill again in the future and even graduate to killing people.
The justice system has a duty to protect animals and society from such dangerous individuals and New York State needs to stiffen the penalty for animal cruelty, especially when it is this sick and violent in nature.

Through the years, those who care for the earth have recognized the importance of saving seeds for the future.
There have been instances of heroic efforts, such as those of the scientists who starved to death in Leningrad among stores of seed corn, wheat, rice, beans and potatoes in the terrible winter of 1941. Nine botanists died in the midst of plenty to ensure the preservation of seed material for future generations.
In 1851, Henry Ward Beecher wrote an essay that explained the art of seed saving, and summarized the technique as ripen them well, dry them thoroughly and keep them aired and cool.
Article Photos
This image, courtesy of Millenium Seed Partnership, shows Kew Gardens at Wakehurst in Sussex, England.
And this is precisely what they do at the Millenium Seed Partnership operated by Kew Gardens at Wakehurst in Sussex, England.
This worldwide collaboration aims to safeguard more than 24,000 plant species from around the world from extinction. It already has successfully assured the future of 1,400 native species found in the British Isles, and continues to explore and collect seeds around the world.
I visited the specially designed building at Wakehurst place a few weeks ago, where the seeds are banked, and an exhibition has been developed to showcase the continuing effort to preserve seed viability in this way. The seeds are stored in vaults below ground and are not on view to the public.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program. Contact her at email@example.com.
Experts predict, by the end of this century, 50 percent of the world's plants will be condemned to extinction. Should this happen, many thousands of animals will disappear as their native habitats vanish.
Around 30,000 species of plants are used for food by people around the world - with wheat, maize (corn) and rice providing 50 percent of all plant-derived food energy. A quarter of the medicines used in the Western world are derived from plants, and shelter and fuel come from the same sources.
Ideally, plants should be preserved in the wild - in their own natural habitats - but pressures on the environment make this impossible in many cases, and so banking seeds becomes necessary.
Seeds occupy small space and require relatively little attention. Many thousands of seeds can be stored for a species, each one representing a potential new plant.
Under the cold, dry conditions that are maintained at Wakehurst, seeds potentially can survive for hundreds of years. Each batch that arrives at the facility is dried and cleaned before going into storage that is maintained at -20 Celsius. (I hope the U.S. does not adopt Celsius scale in my lifetime. It took every iota of my admittedly minimal mathematical skills to translate this temperature to 0 degrees Fahrenheit.)
After banking, the viability of the seeds is periodically monitored by germination tests. An acceptable result will find a germination rate of 75 percent, or a new collection will need to be made from the wild.
When needed, plants that have germinated can be reintroduced to the appropriate location or used for habitat restoration. They also may be used in scientific research to find new and sustainable ways in which plants can benefit society.
My own efforts in seed saving are minimal.
I love Wisley Magic scarlet runner beans, and have not found a source in this country, so I do save the seeds from each year's crop. Now that I have a better understanding of proper storage conditions, I will be sure to keep my seeds dry, aired and cool.

Justin Peters spun a bogey-free, 8-under-par 31-33=64 at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Ill., in today's open qualifier for the John Deere Classic.
World No. 9 Rickie Fowler finished 11th in automatic qualifying and had to rely on a Captain's Pick to make his third Ryder Cup appearance (2010, 2014), still searching for his first full-point match win.

Recent runner-up Ryan Moore will make his Ryder Cup debut next week at Hazeltine National Golf Club, receiving the last of four captain's picks to complete the 12-man roster for the American side.
15-seed and overnight co-leader Kevin Chappell carded 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the final round of the TOUR Championship to match Ryan Moore and Rory McIlroy on 12-under 268, and then was eliminated on the first hole of sudden death, the par-5 18th, with par to McIlroy and Moore's birdies. UPDATE: Chappell was the ONLY player with four sub-par rounds.
Hall-of-Famer and legend Arnold Palmer has died at the age of 87.
14-seed Ryan Moore painted a bogey-free, week-and-season-low 6-under-par 31-33=64 in the final round of the TOUR Championship to match overnight co-leader Kevin Chappell and Rory McIlroy on 12-under 268, and then lost to McIlroy on the fourth hole of sudden death.

Monday, June 17, 2013
Lt. Col. Ed Chamberlayne, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District, has made a living out of being prepared. He's carefully dissected budgets, reducing costs by millions and shortening major projects by years and he's served in the military for 20 years.
But, the district got him this time.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley presented the Order of the Palmetto to Chamberlayne Monday morning at the Maritime Center. And he never saw it coming.
Haley and Col. Donald Jackson, Jr., commander of the Corps' South Atlantic Division, Chamberlayne and others took a boat tour of the Charleston Harbor to give Haley a first-hand account of the harbor deepening project. They stepped off the boat, walked to the Maritime Center reception room, saw his wife and two children sitting in the front row of several lines of chairs and then Chamberlayne realized this wasn't part of his itinerary.
"I thought we were just showing you the harbor," he said to Haley after the governor unveiled the award and spoke highly of the commander. "I certainly don't deserve this, but all the employees at the district do. The entire team works so hard for not only the state of South Carolina but for the entire country."
The Order of the Palmetto is considered the highest civilian honor in the state and has never been presented to military personnel like Chamberlayne before, according to a Charleston District spokesperson. It was first awarded in 1971 and recognizes a person's lifetime contributions to South Carolina.
Haley praised Chamberlayne for saving $5 million on the Charleston Harbor Post 45 Deepening Feasibility Study. The project was originally estimated to cost $18-20 million but current estimates place that figure to less than $13 million. Also, the total project time was reduced from an estimated five to eight years to less than four. He has also signed numerous regulatory permits that have benefited the state economy.
"This was a very easy decision," Haley said. "Very rarely do you get somebody that cares so much."
City of Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. was also at the ceremony and spoke highly of Chamberlayne's work ethic. "Of all the people who have served us – and they're all extraordinary – no one has been quite like Col. Chamberlayne," Riley said.
Chamberlayne, a Mount Pleasant resident, assumed command of the district July 8, 2011. Districts go through a change in command every two years. Lt. Col. John T. Litz will become the new leader later this summer and Chamberlayne will be promoted to duties at the Pentagon.

I'm not necessarily attacking anyone here as much as I'm attacking the media who continue to bring this up (plus I was listening to the podcast on Wingin' It in Motown where one of the guys shared the sentiment).
Corey Crawford OWNS....OWNS the Red Wings.
Career record since taking over in 2010-2011 (including Game 1): 12-1-2 1.77 GA .943 Save %
Wings scored more than 2 goals only 3 times (all wins) in those 15 games.
He may not have a Stanley Cup, but he isn't a weakness for them. Especially against the Red Wings.


text: Issue 08 Preview – Unusual Suspects – Paracord-Wrapped Knives Patrick Vuong 0 COMMENT Paracord is "in" and it's everywhere. You can't go to a range, campground, or hiking trail without spotting at least a few people sporting Survival Straps or similar accessories made of cord. And for good reason: this type of rope is tough, lightweight, and highly versatile. What once was used for lines in U.S. parachutes during World War II has evolved into a general-purpose utility cord. You can find "550 cord" (so-called because the most common type is rated with a 550-pound breaking point) on everything from lanyards to backpacks. Just look at the knives on these pages. The fixed blades here all feature paracord-wrapped handles. Some might scoff at this grip material, but we've come to realize that, just like with firearms, it's all about using the right tool at the right moment. For example, we're not going to use a cord-wrapped knife to filet fish or to go scuba diving. But 550 cord properly tied around a reliable, full-tang blade can serve admirably in the field.

Kind gesture embodies true meaning of season
The other day, I was waiting in the service room at my car dealership with a half-dozen other customers when the service manager came in to inform a young man that he needed new tires and since his inspection was overdue, they had scraped it off his windshield and would not issue another one until the tires were replaced. When told the cost of the tires, he was clearly upset and wondering how he was going to pay for them. Everyone in the room was concerned.
Within a minute, a customer spoke up and said, "Put it on my bill. I'll pay for it." The young man was dumbstruck and so grateful. He couldn't stop thanking his patron. The rest of us in the room had tears in our eyes, having witnessed such a gracious gesture.
I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for people like Kevin, who walk among us, for reminding us of how splendid humanity can be. His act of kindness is the true meaning of the season and a beacon for conduct in the coming year.

There have been numerous studies that have shown that distracted drivers can be as dangerous on the road as drunk drivers. Some recent studies have shown that texting while driving may actually be just as dangerous as driving intoxicated.
In an effort to reduce the distractions that drivers are confronted with while driving some stated have instituted hands free laws that require drivers to use hands free kits to make calls while driving. Ford has a system called Sync in some of its vehicles that offers all sorts of hands free technologies to make driving safer while still allowing drivers to stay in contact and listen to music from digital devices.
Ford commissioned a new study that has shown significant differences in how distracted drivers are when using its Sync system compared to not using it. For the study, Ford had drivers select a phone number or choose a song on their MP3 players using Sync compared to doing the same thing manually.
Drivers who did the tasks manually had their eyes off the road for about 25 seconds while drivers using Sync had their eyes off the road for approximately two seconds. Participants in the study were asked to dial ten-digit phone numbers, call a specific person form the digital phone book, receive a call while driving, play a specific song, and review and respond to text messages.
The time eyes were off the road was measured by the researchers for drivers using both methods. Ford says that drivers performing these tasks manually swerved out of their lane 30 percent of the time while Sync users never swerved out of their lane. Ford has also announced a new 911 Assist feature for Sync that can dial 911 post-crash automatically.
Dr. Louis Tijerina from Ford said in a statement, "These real-world results indicate that SYNC's voice-interface offers substantial advantages compared to using a handheld device to do the same task."
quote: The fact that you think the government has the right to take away other people's liberties and livelihood to try to (quite delusionally) reduce your risk to zero is draconian.
quote: The fact is, that if you drive in a reasonable manner, it's absolutely possible to talk on a hands-free system and drive safely.
quote: Outlawing every little distraction is not going to help and is completely impractical.
quote: Education and safe driving classes come closer to solving the problem than paying more fat, uneducated cops to harass tax paying citizens. I would much rather have a smaller, better trained police force than the jokes that we have in most communities now.

Fans Declare the Death of Korean Soccer
A national sports team returning home from a humiliating defeat can often face the wrath of angry fans. South Korea's national soccer players arrived back from the World Cup on Monday to something a little more extreme: a banner declaring the death of the local game.
As they lined up for a team photo at Incheon, Seoul's main international airport, the players were showered with "yeot," a traditional candy that is also a common synonym for a Korean expletive.
"Eat yeot!" yelled an angry taffy-thrower at the team, according to reports from the airport.
The anti-fans also held up a banner printed in a design used for a funerals that said: "South Korean soccer is dead!!"
South Korea finished bottom of its group at the World Cup in one of its poorest showings in over a decade after defeats against Belgium and Algeria, and a draw against Russia.
It's unclear at whom the grievances were directed. Some reports cited other members of the same angry group protesting against what they called a corrupt soccer association that they alleged selects its squad based on politics rather than skill.
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who blamed himself for the poor showing following the defeat against Belgium, apologized in front of the Korean press and remained uncommitted about his own future. A former national hero and soccer star, Hong's contract runs through next January.

The 10 Most Bizarrely Interchangeable Celebrities
#3 - #4. Gerard Butler and Clive Owen
Gerard Butler was the abs and beard that played King Leonidas in 300. Clive Owen was the eyes and haircut that played the lead in Croupier.
Shouldn't be much confusion here: Butler looks like he eats three Owens for breakfast just to get enough protein to scream apart the furious lions that are constantly attacking him after confusing his animal musk for that of a rival predator. Apart from them both being British, light-skinned and dark-haired, where's the commonality here?
So which one was in Shoot 'Em Up, the brutal action flick so gloriously, magnificently stupid that the main character was actually based on Bugs Bunny? That's Butler territory. When you need a woman shoot-boned in the middle of a firefight/sex-scene, you ring for a Butler.
That was Owen (and he was awesome). Don't feel bad, you were probably confusing it with Gamer, starring Gerard Butler, who was literally a video game character, not a cartoon character. Totally different parody violence genre!
But isn't Owen usually the art film type? He was in Children of Men, right? That's the kind of action flick it seems like he would do. Children of Men was a sci-fi thriller, sure, but it was a thinking man's headbuster. Gerard Butler is the guy that busts the head of the thinking man while he's all distracted doing pussy shit like thinking.
So which one was in Machine Gun Preacher? Jesus, that title alone screams Gerard Butler until the blood vessels in its throat explode. But wait, what's that bit about the preacher? Oh, this is a movie about child soldiers in Africa, and a missionary trying to save them? All right, that's totally Owen then.
You know, the guy that played the ancient king with nigh-on supernatural powers.
Oh, sorry: They both did that. Butler was Leonidas. Owen was King Arthur.
#1 - #2. Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
All right, I'll admit it. I just ran out of ideas here. There's no way anybody is confusing whatever that guy's name is with the man who played John Motherfucking Winchester.
Th...the dad from Supernatural?
Nobody? Dang. All right. Let's do this:
Javier Bardem plays psychopaths with stupid haircuts in movies like Skyfall and No Country for Old Men. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays stern but loving fathers on paranormal CW masterpieces, and romantic leads in comedies that your mom forces your dad to watch if he wants to get to third base this weekend, like Grey's Anatomy and P.S. I Love You.
All right, easy base line established: Guy that murders hillbillies with a cattle gun; guy that shows menopausal women what it means to love again. Never the twain shall meet.
So which one was in Eat, Pray, Love? You know, the wacky Julia Roberts housewife fantasy that spawned a thousand very unfortunate, entirely misinformed sex vacations to India? Gotta be Morgan.
Holy crap. I haven't seen the film, but I assume he gently screws a silencer onto a pistol after finally making love to Roberts, then puts two through a pillow and into her head.
It's okay if you got that last answer wrong. You're probably just getting it confused with the other three-word, list-titled romantic comedy about a fish out of water traveling outside of her comfort zone: Peace, Love and Misunderstanding. That one stars Morgan.
What about Vicky Cristina Barcelona, yet another three word list of unrelated terms, this time an intellectual dramedy about having a three way at a Spanish villa? Man, that has to be Morgan - that guy is always banging chicks you wish he wouldn't. Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Keener, your mom...
Wrong again! It was Javier Bardem who got to star in an hour and a half long film about having a menage a trois with the Black Widow, the son of a bitch.

A lawsuit that has delayed the Muir Woods development in Amherst for five years has been dismissed, paving the way for the construction of one of the largest developments in the town after years of contention.
If all goes as planned, the exits off the I-990 and John James Audubon Parkway that are currently "roads to nowhere" will be filled in with more than 700,000 square feet of research and office space and a variety of housing over the next 10 years.
"We're looking at a vibrant new neighborhood that's mixed-use and has energy to it," said Dennis Penman, executive vice president with Ciminelli Real Estate Corp. "That energy will be driven by the university."
Ciminelli purchased 326 acres of land just off the Lockport Expressway in 2000, with initial plans to develop about half of that property into a huge office and research complex, with housing, interconnecting roads and a lakefront village center with retail and public boardwalks.
But opposition from hundreds of residents, scrutiny from environmental advocates and state officials, and a series of environmental studies that showed expanding wetlands on the property, forced the company to scale back its vision.
Prior to the construction of the University at Buffalo North Campus, this land was designed by the state as part of a "New Community Development" that was to foster partnerships between UB and private companies and research groups. When that did not pan out as quickly as hoped, the state sold the property to Ciminelli.
The developer had great difficulty getting buy-in on its grand vision.
"At one point, we were meeting with neighbors every Saturday at the library," said Sean Hopkins, the lawyer who has represented the project on behalf of Ciminelli Real Estate since the start.
In 2007, the Town Board finally approved a land-use change that gave Ciminelli the go-ahead on revised plans to develop 110 acres and construct 700,000 square feet of research and commercial office space. The remaining acreage would be preserved as green space.
Residents sued the town and the developer in 2008 to halt the project. After five years, State Supreme Court Justice John M. Curran rejected six legal arguments against the project and dismissed the lawsuit Feb. 5, giving Ciminelli the green light to proceed with its plans.
"We're pleased with the decision," said Hopkins said. "We believe the court did a very diligent job reviewing all the lengthy reports and studies included in the record."
Hopkins attributed the long delay between the suit's filing and the judge's decision to the "boxes and boxes of documents" that had to be reviewed by all parties and that former Amherst Council Member Daniel Ward had joined with homeowners in their suit against Ciminelli and the town.
It took more than two years to get Ward removed as a petitioner on the grounds that he didn't have standing to challenge the Town Board's decision, Hopkins said. An appeals court finally removed Ward from the suit in 2010.
Judy Colton, president of the Northwest Amherst Residents Association, said she believes the judge's decision is a bad one but added that her group has not yet decided whether to appeal the court's decision.
Ciminelli representatives said they plan to move forward with the project and would be surprised if an appeal is successful.
In fact, Penman said he hopes planning for the project will eventually pair with plans to develop the town-owned Audubon Golf Course, assuming that negotiations regarding a swap of the Audubon course for the Westwood Country Club are successful.
Preliminary site plans should be before the town's Planning Department by late this year, Penman said. In the meantime, the company will negotiate with the state Department of Transportation on access to the parcel, which is situated just north of the I-990 and south of North French Road.
He said the company generally intends to move forward with the downsized plans presented to the Town Board in 2007, though there may be some adjustments.
Aside from research and office space, some of the area may be devoted to the construction of multifamily, university-oriented housing geared toward graduate students, faculty and alumni, Penman said.
Prior plans to develop 136 units of single-family and patio homes are expected to remain intact, he said.
Construction could begin as early as 2014, he said, though it would take up to 10 years to fully develop the property.

KEARNEYSVILLE - Two weeks before Christmas in 2001, the Lawrence Crouse Workshop burned to the ground. With the help of local organizations such as the Charles Town and Shepherdstown Rotary clubs, family and friends, Crouse was able to pay his more than 30 employees for those two weeks up until Christmas, but his shop remained destroyed.
After moving what remained of the antique wood furniture operation to Martinsburg and a short stint in Romney, Crouse eventually moved his wood shop back to the original Kearneysville location. The shop sits on Chance Lane, adjacent to his home, and more than 10 years later is fighting through the recession.
"I have been doing this for 40 years, and have been through other recessions, but nothing like this. This one is really just knocking us on the nose," Crouse said.

Lawrence "Larry" and Abraham "Abe" Crouse stand in front of their showroom just outside of Shepherdstown in Kearneysville.
Throughout the first 20 years in business, the Lawrence Crouse Workshop participated in events such as the Harpers Ferry Arts and Crafts Festival and sold their American Revolution-style replica pieces to individuals in the retail market. Crouse then turned to selling his pieces to shops across the country, and at its peak, the workshop was selling to more than 150 shops nationwide.
"Now my list of shops is down to less than 50," Crouse said. "We are ready to turn the page, go back to the good old days and start selling locally again," he said.
Noting that the area has changed in the last 20 years and many more people are living in Jefferson County than before, Course said he feels this is the right direction to take his business.
Fact Box
If you go:
What: Lawrence Crouse Workshop Open House
When: Every Saturday and Sunday between October and Christmas
Noon 5 p.m.
Where: 155 Chance Lance, Kearneysville, West Virginia
Crouse refers to his pieces as "recreations" rather than reproductions, and said his designs are for those individuals who appreciate the antique market. He said his pieces are about living with art and often appeals to some people just as a shiny new car appeals to others.
His son, Abe, has been working with his father for the last several years, and said all the wood types used in the pieces are the same types used more than 200 years ago.
"We like to say it's owning a piece of history," he said, adding that once he trains a craftsman to build, for example their best-selling bow-backside chair, it takes around three hours to create.
Crouse and his wife grew up in Jefferson County, and began dating in high school. She had requested Crouse ask her father for her hand in marriage. Crouse said her father told him he figured they would want to get married, but he thought it best that Crouse found a job first.
"Well, so did I. But I wasn't sure what I wanted to do," Crouse said.
His father was in construction, and Crouse said he always enjoyed building things, but not necessarily the exposure to the outside elements that came along with it.
"I wanted to be able to back up to an old pot-belly stove in the winter," he recalled.
His future father-in-law told him about the Headley family in Winchester, who did estate auctions, and through working with them, Crouse developed an "eye" for early-American furniture.
"I've been to auctions where someone would hold up two pieces of pottery. One would bring $5 and the other $500 - it's having that educated eye to know that the glazing is just right, the little lip comes up just right and the handle is shaped a certain way," he said, adding the same goes for his pieces.
"There are things out there that are just a little extra special, but not everyone appreciates that, but that's what makes it unique, different and appealing to me," Crouse said.

It's been two years since she beat breast cancer, but Giuliana Rancic admits she's less concerned with diet and exercise than she was before she got the disease.
"Life is to be enjoyed, not to be spent in the gym every day and not to be counting your calories," Rancic says on HuffPost Live.
Asked how she's changed her lifestyle post-cancer, the Fashion Police costar, 39, confesses she's become more relaxed about healthy eating and fitness.
"What's so funny is I've changed it quite drastically, the way I live and what I eat and how I exercise, but the opposite way you would think," she says. "Before I got the breast cancer I was actually pretty diligent about my diet and what I ate and I tried to eat very healthy foods and whole grains and tried to exercise every day."
She adds, "I think you go one of two ways. Some people, I think it was Christina Applegate who said that she became very diligent about her health afterwards ... I kinda went the other way. On my way here I ate a sandwich in the car; I eat lots of bread and different things and I don't exercise as much."
Rancic also says that she's proud to be identified as a "cancer survivor."
"Going public, I thought about ... will the first thing people read about me be, 'cancer survivor,' and now, two years in, I think to myself, 'You know what? Great!' "

A plan to set aside a luxury suite in Ralph Wilson Stadium for the state to use to woo business executives and promote tourism has become a focus of controversy: Is it a legitimate economic development tool or a perk for state officials?
Assemblywoman Jane Corwin joined several voices this week that questioned the need for the state to have access to a stadium suite during Bills games. Her concerns echoed those of a downstate lawmaker and the editorial boards of three newspapers.
Corwin, in a letter to Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz, said she has "grave concern that luxury box seats for state usage may be extremely inappropriate, if not in violation of existing state ethics laws."
"It would be a great benefit to my understanding if you could provide a full and detailed explanation as to why or how this arrangement does not violate the state constitution or state ethics laws, including any legal memorandum addressing the issue, in addition to providing an explanation as to why a 12-seat luxury box is necessary to attract business to Western New York," wrote Corwin, R-Clarence.
Corwin's letter echoed a similar inquiry from Assemblyman James Brennan asking officials at the state's economic development agency, Empire State Development Corp., to explain why the suite was part of a financial deal in which the state and county will contribute toward the cost of renovating the county-owned stadium.
"Such an arrangement raises significant concerns as to whether it is legal or permitted under state law, including the state constitution and the state ethics laws," said Brennan, a Brooklyn Democrat who is chairman of the Assembly Standing Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions. Corwin also sits on that committee.
The planned state suite – to be named the "I Love NY Hospitality Center" – also drew notice from the editorial boards of the New York Post, the Post-Star of Glens Falls and the Syracuse Post-Standard.
"So taxpayers help fund upgrades for a stadium for a wealthy NFL owner – and they underwrite the governor's men schmoozing with the high and mighty," the New York Post wrote. "But, hey, that's what the taxpayers are there for, right?"
Erie County and Empire State Development announced in December that the state would have access to a suite in Ralph Wilson Stadium to use for its "I Love New York" campaign as part of a 10-year lease agreement with the Buffalo Bills, but details of the arrangement only emerged last week when the lease documents were finalized.
A spokeswoman for Empire State Development provided the following statement in response to the questions raised by Brennan and Corwin and their planned review of the arrangement: "This agreement involving this state facility has been public for months. This review is merely an attempt to grab headlines."
According to lease documents, an Empire State Development subsidiary, Erie County Stadium Corp., will have access to a suite with up to 16 seats for all Bills games and events. The suite is to be used for "encouraging and fostering economic development, tourism and public awareness for the City of Buffalo, Erie County and the State of New York," as well as "charitable or public functions."
The Bills will provide up to 16 tickets to the state for access to the suite on game days, as well as four parking passes, according to lease documents. The state will be required to pay for any food and beverage costs in the suite. State officials have said that use of the suite by state agencies or officials must be approved through Empire State Development.
Although the lease refers to a maximum capacity of 16 people in the stadium box, Empire State Development has said it will be a 12-person suite.
The Post-Star and the Post-Standard also questioned the need for the state to contribute $54 million toward the $130 million in planned stadium upgrades included in the lease.
"Cuomo's willingness to throw $54 million into Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium is a stain on his fiscal crusader cape," the editorial board of the Post-Star wrote. "We question the usefulness of a Buffalo Bills' luxury box, apart from its wastefulness. The way the Bills have been playing, New York will have to pay spectators to sit in its fancy seats."
Peter Anderson, a spokesman for Poloncarz, said Corwin's questions about the arrangement were better directed to state officials. Erie County did not seek a suite during the lease negotiations.
"All of the details of the lease are available on the Erie County website," Anderson said.
Corwin, in her letter, said she was "very pleased that an agreement was reached ensuring that, for the foreseeable future, Buffalo will continue to be the home of the Bills."
"However, under no circumstances should taxpayers be paying for any public official to attend a professional sporting event," Corwin wrote.

About that Cubs Closer Battle
I recently purchased a copy of the Bill James Handbook 2009...I know, a little late to the party...but it does a great job of presenting information that isn't readily available, information I'll pass along as they become relevant throughout the season. I'm also going to get a subscription to BillJames.net to update everyone as the season progresses.
But thumbing through the book they have all kinds of stats on relievers and let's see if any of it will help Lou pick his closer on the year.
James has a piece on the "21st Century Bullpen" and goes on about how the modern day bullpen has changed drastically over the last 10 years or so and in a very Jamesian way, goes about reclassifying it and includes 21 categories in total ranging from easy to tough saves, clean outings and so forth. I'm not going to republish all his work, but here's some of the relevant ones. Of course, I'm going to have to explain some of these first.
Consecutive Days - A count of how many times a pitcher has thrown on back-to-back days or games in the rare case of a double-header.
Long Outings - Outings of 25 or more pitches
Leverage Index -A metric developed by Tangotiger to account for the game situation. 1.00 is average.
Easy Saves - Saves where the first batter a reliever faces does not represent the tying or winning run and there are three outs or less remaining; 58% of all saves are easy and relievers come through on 87% of them.
Regular Saves - not an easy or tough save; 37% of all saves are regular saves and they are converted 57% of the time
Tough Saves - reliever enters with the potential tying or winning run on base; 5% of all saves are tough saves and they're converted 22% of the time. For the three save types, you'll see something like 15-17 which means 15 converted saves of that type in 17 of those opportunities.
Clean Outing - a game in which the reliever is not charged with a run and does not allow an inherited runner to score.
Save/Hold Percentage - We're use to seeing save percentage but it discriminates against anyone that isn't a closer since they rarely get saves to boost that percentage. So instead James adds up holds and save.
|Sv/Hld Pct
|Opp OPS
So I was probably a bit overly critical on Kevin Gregg when the Cubs acquired him as the Marlins certainly put his feet to the fire a lot more than Lou did with Kerry. Gregg did tie for the league lead in blown saves with 9(with Manny Corpas), but he also tied for the league lead in tough saves with 4 (with Brian Wilson). Kerry had the 5th highest NL total in Easy Saves and 4th in regular saves (Gregg was 7th in regular saves). Also, Gregg came in with 15 runners on base, allowing just one of them to score all year, while Wood entered a game with just 12 inherited runners, allowing 2 of them to score.
Kerry did have a pretty unfortunate run of bad luck when you look at that above link and his BABIP numbers, so I still have little doubt that he'll be a better pitcher than Gregg this year (enters keyboard shortcut for "if healthy). But no reason to keep revisiting that argument as Wood is a Cleveland Indian and it's Kevin Gregg versus Carlos Marmol for the closer job.
In terms of their rank among other pitchers, Marmol's 27 outings on consecutive days was the tied for the fifth most in the majors and of course he led the NL with 30 Holds (second to Scott Shields in the majors with 31). Marmol actually dominates most of the NL leaderboards in the book.
10th in Inherited Runners Scored % with a minimum of 30 IR - 21.3% (Cotts was 9th, Eyre was 6th and Ohman 2nd for what it's worth)
3rd in Relief Opponent OBP - .251
1st in Relief Opponent SLG - .257 (Gregg was third at .271)
10th in Relief Opponent BA versus lefties - .182
1st in Relief Opponent BA versus righties and overall - .098 and .135
1st in Relief OBP 1st Batter Faced - .185
1st in Relief Opponent BA w/ Runners On - .148
2nd in Relief Opponent BA w/ RISP - .133
1st in Strikeout/Hit Ratio - 2.85 (Harden was 2nd with 2.28)
1st in Opponent OPS vs Slider - .302
So what does this all mean? Well I think Carlos Marmol is kind of good at pitching...can we all agree on that? As for who should be the closer, I don't think the Cubs can go wrong on this decision. Lou isn't going to let the front office dictate his decision, but from a payroll standpoint, letting Gregg close will keep Marmol's arbitration dollars down a little longer and make Gregg more attractive if he becomes a free agent at the end of the year and the Cubs could get two draft picks assuming he's a Type A free agent. Pitchers, managers and fans generally like the defined roles in the bullpen and I don't think there's any doubt that you'd rather have Marmol coming in to escape those 7th and 8th innning jams over Gregg. If you give Marmol the closer job, Lou will hesitate on using him before the 9th and that's probably not the best use of such a dynamic pitcher. Ideally, the two players wouldn't care what innings they pitched and Lou would bring in Marmol in the toughest of situations whether it's the 7th, 8th or 9th. But that's not the reality of today's game so I'll be hoping that announcement from Lou later this week will be that Kevin Gregg is the 2009 closer.

Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
cubs pre-season baseball on MLB Network at 10:30 eastern.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
This is useful. I was definitely leaning toward Marmol but I guess we could give Gregg a try. I was thinking that Gregg would be a good set-up man but if Marmol can more outs and be more durable in the setup role that is Ok.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
An argument for Gregg as set up man: He'll probably get used more. If one of their arms gets blown out, I'd rather it not be Marmol's, who would presumably get into fewer games as a closer than as a set up man. Lou brought in Marmol whenever he badly needed an out late in the game. If he does that again this year I smell injury or wear out. That said, it's not a huge issue for me. They both seem like they'll get the job done.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
lou brought marmol in almost any time he felt like it no matter the lead or protection. he worked 1/2 the games last year.
the last few weeks before eyre was shipped off marmol was warmed with eyre many times and marmol came in anyway...even in a couple games the cubs had in hand. marmol's use in august was just plain weird, imo.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
Speaking of Scott Eyre...
Re: Tigers Fire Sale?
im still amazed how big their payroll is for a mid-market team.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
Either's a good choice, but the closer role is so defined, that I'd rather have Gregg there. Marmol's the more talented pitcher and he can be brought in when he's really needed.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
I don't think it's always about who is the better pitcher. I like Marmol setting up Gregg knowing that Marmol is probably the better pitcher.

Since I have to get up for work at 4 AM, I say boo on 9:30 start times. I'll probably catch a couple of innings before heading to bed, at least catch some of the starters.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
Pretty much agree with your reasons on the Gregg/Marmol thing.
I do think Marmol's going to become human this year, though. He had that great BABIP number last year, and the history of 5'10" guys who K 1.4 guys an inning just isn't there to make me think he can keep it up forever.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
Carlos Marmol is listed at 6'2", though I still think that high a K-rate would be very difficult to sustain, as would his BABIP numbers.
Re: About that Cubs Closer Battle
i'd be more worried about his sketchy control, imo.
for all the bats he misses and the defenders the batted balls find, his control is rarely good.

'The Voice': Kat Robichaud and Austin Jenckes Voted Off
America handed pink slips to Kat Robichaud and Austin Jenckes on "The Voice" Tuesday after the new "instant save" vote came to Caroline Pennell's rescue.
Voting for the top 8 artists almost eliminated CeeLo's entire team but as the bottom three stood solemnly on stage, America made an eleventh hour selection on Twitter to save one of them and brought Caroline Pennell back from the brink.
Coach Adam emerged from this week's voting three-for-three, with Tessanne Chin, James Wolpert and Will Champlin all making it through. Christina scored two-for-two while Blake lost one team member, Austin Jenckes, leaving him with two. CeeLo now has just one contender in the game.
Almost certainly aiding in Caroline's last-minute rescue was an intriguing performance with Tessanne of Lorde's "Royals," just minutes before the instant save was deployed on Twitter.
This week's vote came after a marathon, three-hour session of "The Voice" on Monday. NBC did some shuffling of its shows this week to accommodate "The Blacklist," which was still putting the finishing touches on an upcoming two-episode storyline (each episode is finished pretty close to airing). With November sweeps also in action, NBC decided it made sense to give "The Blacklist" the week off. Thus "The Voice" ran a one-hour recap Monday, followed by a two-hour block of new performances.
One interesting factoid: there's little duplication between Monday and Tuesday night's shows, with less than half the people who watch on Monday, also tuning in on Tuesday. Which may explain why there isn't a mass rebellion when "The Voice" turns to recaps.
Back to Tuesday's show, I have to give it to Christina for a masterful performance with her two remaining team members: Matthew Schuler and Jacquie Lee. Matthew, in particular, looked entirely at home performing alongside Christina.
And thank you producers for taking me out of my misery early on, announcing first up that James Wolpert had made it. He's weathered some tough song choices and I would've hated to see him leave the competition.
Here's a list of the final eight (in the order they were announced):
James Wolpert (Team Adam)
