The Town Board will reconvene at 6 p.m. Tuesday for a work session – the body's first meeting since a contentious, more than two-hour session last Wednesday that had members of the public chastising board members for lacking civility.
The genesis of the discontent on the board was Councilwoman Angela M. Wozniak's abstention from voting on the town's $8.6 million warrant payment. Wozniak cited an investigation she's conducting into how the town handles aspects of its bidding process.
Her comments irked several of her colleagues who defend the legality of the town's actions and accuse Wozniak of playing politics. Wozniak, in return, contends Democratic town board members have willfully attempted to stymie her efforts to probe the matter by demanding she formally file Freedom of Information requests to obtain official town records.
Wozniak, the board's lone Republican, and the board's other five members – all Democrats – have remained publicly at odds on several issues at recent town board meetings, including a proposal she attempted to introduce calling for downsizing Erie County's only seven-member town board to five members. That motion failed for a lack of a second.
The work session meeting will be held in the council office conference room at Cheektowaga Town Hall, 3301 Broadway.
Also this week:
• The Depew School Board will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the high school, 5201 S. Transit Road.
• A review of the technology accounts will be the topic of a 2013-14 budget workshop when the Cleveland Hill School Board meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the district's community room, 105 Mapleview Road.
• The Cheektowaga Senior Center will hold its monthly New Member Coffee Hour at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in the conference room of a 3349 Broadway center.
• The second class of the spring season for the two-session Safety Company Babysitter's Training will be held Thursday and March 7 at the Alexander Community Center, 275 Alexander Ave. The 6 p.m. class, designed for 11-15 year olds, teaches first aid and safety skills that allow babysitters to respond to emergencies. Those completing the program receive a babysitter's textbook, first aid kit, starter package and certification card.
• Written requests for baseball and softball diamonds as well as rentals for soccer and football fields and volleyball and indoor soccer and in-line hockey courts in 2013 will be accepted by the Cheektowaga Youth & Recreational Services Department starting Friday.
• A Dr. Seuss & Read Across American Night will be the subject of a 6:30 p.m. Friday event in the Cheektowaga-Sloan Union School District at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, 2495 William St.

"It's shocking and sinful, and I couldn't put it down!" -Joan Rivers
The strange, startling, and utterly fascinating stories behind the world's most notorious celebrity deaths.
Was Jayne Mansfield really decapitated? Which manly appendage of Napoleon's was cut off during his autopsy? (And where did it go?) What went to the grave (literally) with River Phoenix, Frank Sinatra, and Princess Diana?
Death is fascinating. Just think about the last time you slowed down as you passed the scene of a car accident. When a public figure bites the dust, the curiosity only increases. From Attila the Hun to Marie Antoinette, from Heath Ledger to Anna Nicole Smith, the deaths of the rich and famous spark endless speculation and tabloid fodder. Their lives-and deaths-are grave matters.

Digital Album: $9.99
Old Blind Dogs have been at the cutting edge of the Scottish roots revival for over 15 years, since forming in fiddler Jonny Hardie's native Aberdeenshire. Dynamic percussion, bluesy harmonica, and smoking small pipes blend with fiddle, whistle, cittern and Jim Malcolm's rich vocals. Wonderfully polished, the arrangements are, as always, both tight and constantly surprising as the band fuses originals with the traditional. The Scotsman has dubbed the band's mixing of the traditional with world rhythms "Caledonian groovery." The Dogs were recently named Folk Band of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards, while lead vocalist Jim Malcolm picked up the coveted Songwriter of the Year award.
"This live recording manages to bottle the lightning that frequently strikes in concert. Scotland's brave heart beats here." -Wall Street Journal
"Old Blind Dogs have just gotten better and better with each album and tour, and are one of the best living examples of the humor, passion and majesty that imbue Celtic music." - Dirty Linen

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Dec. 26) In the wake of a prostitution scandal involving spokeswoman Suzy Favor Hamilton, the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association discontinued its association with the three-time Olympic athlete.
Favor Hamilton, a Wisconsin native and nine-time National Collegiate Athletic Association champion in track and field, signed on as spokeswoman in June 2011. She did in-person appearances, interviews and starred in a series of videos on the association's YouTube channel, which has been deactivated.
The Antigo, Wis.-based association met Dec. 21, said Duane Maatz, executive director. The association "didn't see this coming at all," he said.
"We have severed our contractual relationship with Suzy at this time," Maatz said.
The association is very concerned about Favor Hamilton's wellbeing, he said.
"She had some deep seated problems and we know there are some things she needs to address and we wish the best for her," he said.
News outlet The Smoking Gun broke the news on Dec. 20 after Favor Hamilton allegedly told clients her real identity while "working as a high-priced call girl" for a Las Vegas-based service for the past year.
Favor Hamilton, 44, who is married, also is a real estate agent and motivational speaker based in Madison, Wis.

Seven-year-old Jonathan didn't know anything about this great football player named Curt Warner. To Jonathan, he was simply "Dad.''
Then, one day, Jonathan found some old tapes of "Dad'' playing football for the Seattle Seahawks.
"I watched them, and I was like, 'Wow,''' Jonathan Warner said. "Then my dad came into the room, and football's been my life ever since.''
Article Photos
Eleven years later, the younger Warner verbally committed to his father's college alma mater with a mind not so much in following in the footsteps of one of the greatest running backs in Penn State history as in making a name for himself.
"He deserves all the recognition he gets. That's fine with me. I let him have his glory,'' said Jonathan Warner, who gave his pledge to be part of the Nittany Lions' 2012 recruiting class during an official visit with his father to University Park last weekend. "But now I'm part of this family and Penn State tradition, and I love it. I'm really happy with my decision right now.''
The latest Warner to make his way to Happy Valley is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound wide receiver from Camas, Wash., a suburb of Portland, Ore. After having seen little of the field as a junior for the Papermakers, Warner, who likes to watch Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Victor Cruz to add nuances to his game, broke out with 48 receptions for 715 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He also put together some rushing numbers that would have made Dad proud - 118 yards and two TDs on five carries. Camas went 11-2 and made it to the state finals in 3A, the class for the second-largest group of schools in Washington.
"You don't find too many receivers in high school that weigh as much as he does, so he's very tough to bring down. He's got an exceptional burst off the line. He was able to get behind people - he's so smooth that it doesn't look like he's going that hard, but he just sort of floats right by people,'' Papermakers coach Jon Eagle said.
A big senior season wasn't enough to make bigger colleges take notice, though. Montana State and Montana recruited him the hardest before Nittany Lion assistant Larry Johnson came calling.
"I got playing time as a junior, but not the kind of playing time I wanted,'' Warner said. "That motivated me. I was like, 'I have to get bigger. I have to get stronger. I have to get faster.' Deep down, it taught me a lesson. My time came, so all the hard work paid off.''
Warner said his willingness to do whatever it takes to help him team is his biggest strength. He isn't afraid of some hard work: While growing up, he's helped his parents take care of his autistic twin brothers who are a year younger than he.
Curt Warner said he never tried to push Jonathan into football but always urged him to do his best if he chose to play. He was understandably proud to see his son get a scholarship to the college where he made his name.
"It's always good to see that your son is interested and appreciates a great institution. I have very fond memories of Penn State. I still do,'' said Curt Warner, who has brought Jonathan back to a few games over the years. "It was his decision. I didn't twist his arm too much.''
The weekend of the Warner's visit was very emotional, with the death of legendary Nittany Lion coach Joe Paterno on Sunday.
"It was almost surreal. When you think of Penn State, you always think of Joe Paterno. Obviously, it was a sad day for all of us,'' Curt Warner said. "What a great coach. I loved playing for him. I'm sure I'm not the only guy to say this, but you really appreciate him more when you get out of the program than you did when you were in the program.''
Although he won't have the chance to play for Paterno, Jonathan Warner will serve as a link from the past to the Bill O'Brien Era at Penn State.
"One of the reason I picked Penn State was the academics. Penn State is known for having its student-athletes graduate. Plus, my father told me all about the tradition,'' Jonathan Warner said. "It wasn't really a hard decision.''

Volunteering helps improve health: Study
07 May 2007
Corporation for National and Community Service that reviews a compelling collection of recent scientific research.
The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research has found a significant connection between volunteering and good health. The report shows that volunteers have greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of depression and less incidence of heart disease.
"Volunteering makes the heart grow stronger," said David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation. "More than 61 million Americans volunteer to improve conditions for people in need and to unselfishly give of themselves. While the motivation is altruistic, it is gratifying to learn that their efforts are returning considerable health benefits."
The Health Benefits of Volunteering documents major findings from more than 30 rigorous and longitudinal studies that reviewed the relationship between health and volunteering, with particular emphasis on studies that seek to determine the causal connection between the two factors. The studies, which were controlled for other factors, found that volunteering leads to improved physical and mental health."I commend the Corporation for National and Community Service for its timely focus on health and volunteerism. These findings complement the Administration on Aging's ongoing efforts to harness the power of prevention and wellness for all older Americans. Volunteerism is an important tool in our strategy to promote health and prevent disease," said Josefina G. Carbonell, Assistant Secretary for Aging at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.Research suggests that volunteering is particularly beneficial to the health of older adults and those serving 100 hours annually. According to the report:
"This is good news for people who volunteer," said Robert Grimm, Director of the Corporation's Office of Research and Policy Development and Senior Counselor to the CEO. "This research is particularly relevant to Baby Boomers, who are receiving as well as giving when they help others. Just two hours of volunteering a week can bring meaningful benefits to a person's body and mind."

While sheets of ice currently coat many lakes and rivers north of the Mason-Dixon Line, collegiate rowing teams from across the nation are hard at work on the placid waters of Lake Beresford in DeLand. Now in their second decade of playing winter host to a variety of teams, Stetson rowing coaches welcome in schools from all over just so college and club rowers alike can have fresh, unfrozen water to train on.
"The visiting teams that have come here have been doing so for a number of years and we love to host teams of all types," said second year rowing head coach Mark Wilson. "They like to come here because of our water."
The water - or more specifically what is not in the water - makes all the difference as Lake Beresford is a fresh water source as opposed to other bodies of blue which contain salt.
"A lot of the teams go all over Florida but since we are on fresh water, that is a big plus," Wilson explained. "The fresh water that we have versus going someplace like Tampa is a benefit because if teams rowed there three times a day, that's three extra times they have to wash their equipment. Salt water is not really good on your skin or your equipment," he added.
Schools like Iowa, Virginia, UMass and Rhode Island made a multi-week trek to DeLand this year to get some mid-winter work accomplished on the water. College teams are were not the only ones making the trip in 2014 as the Canadian National Team was back at Stetson for the fifth time in six years.
"What makes or breaks a great rowing site is having a certain amount of distance," said Rowing Canada's Lightweight Men's Coach Al Morrow. "The size of Lake Beresford and then the option to go into the (St. John's) river is the most significant thing."
Coach Morrow also cites Stetson's location as another key factor in deciding where to take his team in order to prepare for yet another Olympic run as they did in 2008 and 2012.
"The facilities, such as the docks and the launch areas as well as the hosting job by Coach Wilson creates a very safe, friendly environment for us," Morrow explained. "So that's why we would choose a Stetson in DeLand over rowing in downtown Miami for example, where you have a lot more traffic and commotion."
The Canadian team, made up of 10 men and 20 women, spent two weeks at Stetson starting in early January, all in hopes of staying in top Olympic form for their ultimate goal, 2016 in Rio De Janeiro.
"We love coming down to DeLand because it has a beautiful open lake, so we can get all of our pairs across and we can have good training against each other," 2012 Olympic silver medalist Natalie Mastracci. "You can go down the rivers and canals forever, so you only have to make one turn, meaning we can get a lot of kilometers in."
It is not the water alone though that makes Mastracci and her teammates happy to call Stetson home for two weeks during the winter.
"As for the facilities here, every year we come back they get cleaner and better, so I just really appreciate being able to come down here and I think it's the perfect venue for our team at this time," she added.
"When the teams come here they are spending more time rowing and that's what they come to Florida for," Wilson said. "So there are a lot of benefits for a team to come to DeLand, that's why we are trying to make our site more accommodating by packaging meals and boat rentals so they'll have it all here."
Sunshine and warm temperatures aside, Wilson hopes Stetson's amenities and DeLand's location continue to attract rowing teams from across the nation and world in the years to come.

Stetson University football coach Roger Hughes filled the only vacancy on his coaching staff this week with the hiring of Atif Austin.
Austin replaces Kareem Bacon as the Hatters' assistant coach in charge of running backs. A native of Tampa, Fla., Austin spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa after completing a graduate assistant position at Southwest Minnesota State. He coached running backs at UNI.
A graduate of Iowa State University, Austin was a four-year varsity letterman and a four-year starter from 1999-2002. The Cyclones participated in the 2001 Independence Bowl and the 2002 Humanitarian Bowl. He received Big 12 honorable mention honors in 2001 and was given the Reuben J. Miller Award his senior year, designated for the player whose conduct on and off the field brings honor to ISU.
"Atif is an outstanding addition to our staff," Hughes said. "His experiences, both as a player and coaching running backs at FCS playoff programs, made him a very attractive candidate. He is also a skilled special teams coach."
Austin played at Tarpon Springs High School in Tampa as a tailback, quarterback, cornerback and wide receiver and was voted Most Valuable Player his senior year. He also earned letters in wrestling and track and field.
He returned to his alma mater as head coach in 2010, doubling as offensive coordinator.
"His experience both playing and coaching at Tarpon Springs High School will further strengthen our recruiting ties within the state," Hughes said. "I am very excited by the opportunity to work with him."
Austin graduated from ISU in 2003 with a B.A. in Sociology and received his masters in Leadership and Education from Southern Minnesota in 2005.
The Hatters will open the 2013 season on Saturday, August 31, at newly renovated Spec Martin Memorial Stadium against Warner International. Season tickets for the 2013 season are available by visiting www.GoHatters.com/tix or by calling 386-738-HATS (4287).

Leilani Kai and Susan Green share a unique distinction.
They're both "Moolah's Girls."
It's a name given to the hundreds of lady grapplers who were trained by the late WWE Hall of Famer, The Fabulous Moolah, at her legendary wrestling school in Columbia.
These two, however, share another distinction.
They're both former women's world champions, and they'll be appearing as special guests at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest in Charlotte on Aug. 1-4.
Kai, who defeated Wendi Richter for the WWE women's crown in 1985, also will serve as a trainer at the Future Wrestling Legends Training Camp, a four-day talent search for two dozen of the top young male and female wrestling hopefuls.
Kai is excited about the opportunity to work with new talent.
"I always look forward to Fanfest," she says. "And I'm really looking forward to working with those attending the camp."
Kai, who most recently served as a trainer for the WOW (Women of Wrestling) promotion in California, says she loves the training aspect of the business.
"That's what I love to do. I want to teach the psychology, the bumps, the moves, just anything I can possibly do. I live and dream it all the time."
Kai, a top performer on the women's circuit for a number of years, got the name "Leilani Kai" from Moolah, but says she thinks either Prof. Toru Tanaka or Mr. Fuji came up with the idea since she resembled an Hawaiian beauty.
"They gave her a few names, and I think Moolah just put that one together," says Kai, 56, whose real name is Patty Seymour.
"I studied a little bit about the islands, and I eventually did go over there. I went to Japan 46 times, so I stayed in Hawaii a lot. I even had an apartment there at one time. I liked the culture and hung around with a lot of Samoans."
Kai appeared at the inaugural Wrestlemania in 1985 when she dropped her WWF women's title to Richter.
But her victory over Richter several months earlier for the belt was one of her most memorable. Kai won the title at The War to Settle the Score, with Moolah in her corner and singer Cyndi Lauper in Richter's corner. It was during WWF's "Rock 'N Wrestling Connection," an era that combined both music and pro wrestling.
Kai says she still doesn't understand how she was chosen for Wrestlemania.
"It was exciting. But I never expected to be picked for that," she says. "I know he (WWE owner Vince McMahon) liked Wendi a lot, because she was tall and had that big, bright smile. But I guess they needed somebody at Wrestlemania to try and get her over."
Kai says at the time she had no idea how big the event was.
"I really didn't know anything about Wrestlemania when I first got there. I just knew I was coming in for a little angle. I had no idea what I was stepping into. It was all new to me."
Kai recalls flying from Japan, where she had been wrestling, to New York's LaGuardia Airport.
"They had me go from a helicopter to the arena because I had gotten in so late. When I got there, it was so huge, and I could see it was different. I had been at Madison Square Garden several times, but this was a little different. Even afterwards, I didn't realize just how big it was."
The first Wrestlemania, however, would not be Kai's last appearance on the big stage.
She was part of several subsequent pay-per-views, and was brought in for Wrestlemania X in 1995.
The business, she notes, had changed over that 10-year period.
"It was a little bit different. Plus I hadn't worked in a while. I was working a regular job, and I had been doing a little bit of training."
At first Kai hesitated when WWE asked her to appear at Wrestlemania X. They knew she was well versed at time production and getting someone over, and that she could serve as a trusted veteran who could make her opponent look good.
"They wanted me to get Alundra Blayze (aka Debbie "Madusa" Miceli) over. I had worked with her before. But I didn't think mentally I was ready for that. I hadn't done it so long. Their TVs and Wrestlemania are very intense."
McMahon sent Kai and Blayze with some of the WWE crew on a European tour, and the two women were able to iron out the kinks.
The two worked their Wrestlemania X bout on March 20, 1994, with Kai doing the honors.
The Glamour Girls
Kai also was half of one of the top teams in women's wrestling during the mid-'80s — The Glamour Girls — with partner and fellow Moolah trainee Judy Martin.
The two, who had worked together at Moolah's school a decade earlier, would go on to hold the WWF women's tag-team titles on two occasions as well as the LPWA (Ladies Professional Wrestling Association) tag-team championship. They were managed by "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart.
Kai recalls pitching the idea to Hart.
"I told Jimmy that we had this idea to change our image a little bit. We wanted to be a little more colorful as a tag team. He came up with the idea of us dyeing our hair blonde. I thought, 'Blonde hair on an Hawaiian?' But it worked out."
Hart also came up with the moniker of "The Glamour Girls," reasoning that the flashy name might give the team a nice heel touch.
"A couple of girls who thought they were divas," Kai says of the gimmick. "We weren't divas, but it worked out like that. I loved the image and had fun with it."
Kai and Martin, who combined old school with the newer, faster pace of wrestling, wanted to bring in some talented Japanese women wrestlers to work with. She says Moolah, who still controlled the girls' bookings, initially didn't like the idea.
"We wanted to do something different. But she didn't understand that kind of wrestling. And I think she wanted to manage us. But I just knew it wouldn't work like that."
Kai says she and Martin approached WWF creative genius Pat Patterson at a TV taping and told him of their idea.
"That sounds really good. That's different," he told the women.
Patterson returned about 20 minutes later, says Kai, and told them their idea had been approved.
"I almost fell out. I couldn't believe it," she says. "Jimmy was busy at the time with The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart), but he agreed to manage us."
The result was a series of some of the greatest women's bouts in WWE history.
Japanese imports The Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki) and The Glamour Girls staged a two-out-of-three falls match at the first Royal Rumble event on Jan. 24, 1988, with the Bomb Angels winning the belts. Kai and Martin would recapture the title six months later.
Kai can still remember their first match.
"We worked so well together. We had our hair done, out makeup done at a TV taping. Vince (McMahon) was going, 'Wow!' It was quite a change, and he liked it."
The interviews, she says, were carried by Hart, one of the best talkers in the business.
"I didn't have good promo skills at the time. We made it short, and Jimmy carried most of it. We had our first match, and it was really good. It was probably the best match we ever had."
With their styles and languages being so different, Kai says she had to lead her Japanese opponents through the match.
"We had to do everything fast-paced, just to calm them down, because they didn't understand the storyline part of it. But it all worked out."
It wasn't exactly Moolah's style, says Kai.
"She didn't really like it when we did the Survivors Series. Judy and I had to put our heads together to get everything put in the way they wanted it, along with all the high spots. They wanted the Bomb Angels over, so that was good since I knew they (WWF) liked them. Moolah just couldn't understand that kind of wrestling."
Kai says she and Martin, who began teaming in the late '70s in North Carolina, had great chemistry.
"It just clicked with Judy. She was awesome," says Kai.
The old days
Kai learned the ropes the hard way.
Even though the schedule and the ring work were more grueling back then, it's the part of the business she misses the most.
"I sure miss the territories. I miss them so bad. It was so much fun, going from territory to territory, working for the Crocketts and other promotions. I loved it. I wish it could be that way again. That's how I got my experience."
She says she feels very fortunate that she never suffered any serious ring injuries.
"Physically, I've never been hurt. I really don't feel any pain or anything like that. I've always been careful in the ring."
Kai held a number of titles, including the WWF women's title, the WWE women's tag-team title, the NWA women's world title, the Mid-Atlantic women's title, the All Pacific title and the U.S. women's title. She was inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame in 2006.
She says she's honored to be a special guest at this summer's Fanfest along with Green.
Susan's a very good friend. I like her a lot. She has always helped me out."
The six-foot-tall Green, nicknamed "Tex" (her real middle name), was one of the most respected lady wrestlers in the sport during the '70s and '80s. She broke into the business at the age of 15 with the help of the late promoter Joe Blanchard.
Her many titles and accolades include NWA women's world champion, NWA world tag-team champion, four-time Texas women's champ and two-time PGWA (Professional Girl Wrestling Association) champion. She was inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame in 2011.
Green also holds the distinction of making her teacher, Moolah, tap out Jan. 8, 1977, during their title match at the Dallas Sportatorium.
Green now serves as a trainer in Columbia where she instructs male and female students.
"Susan was old school," says Kai. "She stuck by the girls no matter what. If we had to sleep out in the car, she'd do it. She wasn't someone who thought she was special. She's a very good person, and I learned a lot from her. She respects the girls and cares about them. She's there for anybody."
Like Green, Kai loves to train aspiring wrestlers.
"I'm not as fast as I used to be, but I have a lot of experience," she says. "I teach the girls things they can do to keep from hurting themselves, psychology, just easy things, things that mean something at the right moment ... saving a lot of easy steps. I just glided when I go out there. It's just so easy. I might look like I'm tearing someone's head off, but I'm really gliding."
Kai feels she still has something to offer in the wrestling business. While she no longer has any aspirations of getting in the ring to work a lengthy match, she says she can still instruct the younger girls on how to operate in the ring.
She says she would love to be an instructor at the WWE developmental school in Florida. There are things she believes she could help the young talent with.
"Things like how to have presence. Presence is very important. Moolah always had presence. It's just in some people."
Kai, who currently lives in Ocala, Fla., still visits different wrestling schools and gives tips along the way. It gives her great satisfaction to see the young girls of today working hard to see their dreams come true.
Just like she did nearly 40 years ago.

According to 5ME, a recently discovered benefit of cryogenic machining is that it prevents the formation of an untempered martensitic "white layer" on the machined surface. This white layer is detrimental to aircraft parts because it encourages cracks. The discovery means that cryogenic machining can eliminate the acid bath usually used to remove this layer.
Cryogenic machining is the approach to tool cooling that delivers liquid nitrogen at -321°F through the machine's spindle or turret and through the cutting tool. The supercooling reduces the rate of tool wear to such an extent that tool life and productivity increases can be obtained simultaneously.
5ME is the newly created company that is able to apply this technology to any builder's machine tool. Read more here.

This makes it hard to tell how much the cell is actually charged/discharged. LiIon/Lipo batteries voltages go down linearly during discharge so it's easier in that respect.

LOCKPORT – A man who drove his van over the curb on Oliver Street in North Tonawanda, causing four teenage girls to scatter, was sentenced to a year in jail Tuesday by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.
James A. Staley, 27, of Niagara Falls Boulevard, Town of Tonawanda, had violated the terms of his probation on his guilty plea to second-degree reckless endangerment.
The incident occurred Sept. 12, 2010. Assistant Public Defender Alfonso M. Bax said Staley has been refusing treatment for depression and said his problems stem from "addiction combined with mental and emotional disorders."
In another vehicular case Tuesday, David L. Fuller, 41, of Harvest Ridge Way, Lockport, admitted to felony driving while intoxicated and was scheduled for sentencing by Farkas Jan. 30. Fuller was pulled over June 6 on Bartz Road in Lockport.

Rare Ford GT — with 'F ENZO' license plate — burns up in Addison
It's not every day you see a 1,000-horsepower twin-turbo Ford GT out on the road — much less undergoing a fiery demise — in Addison.
But the folks at the auto blog Jalopnik found video of just that from last week. The blue-and-white sports car, believed to be one of only two like it in Texas, caught fire on Belt Line Road in Addison last Wednesday night and burned to a crisp.
Addison Deputy Fire Chief Gordon Robbins said the fire started under the hood. He said he was not aware of any injuries to the driver.
The car had apparently gained some notoriety in driving circles, in part for its license plate: "F ENZO." For the uninitiated, that's a not-so-subtle jab at all those Ferrari aficionados out there. Enzo Ferrari was the founder of the company that bears his name.
If you want to know just how much exotic car, expressed in dollars, went up in flames that night in Addison, the answer is: A lot.
The Ford GT had a suggested sticker price of $139,995 (later increased by Ford to $149,995) when it came out in 2005, but many carried a premium of $100,000 or more beyond that.
Only 4,038 of the cars were made.

NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. - Hancock County Schools are on track to launch West Virginia's first public online academy in the second trimester of the new school year, the school board learned on Monday.
The Hancock County Cyber Academy will offer online courses in English, math, science and social studies that can be taken by traditional and homebound students, Superintendent Suzan Smith said.
"There's so many things you can do with this," she said.
Students who complete the cyber academy will earn a regular high school diploma. "They are covering the same content standards as if they were in a face-to-face class," Smith said.
In a board presentation on Monday, Hancock County teachers Vince McIntosh and Adam Howell said the school district has lost 33 students to online schools such as Penn Foster and that the new cyber academy will help "stop the hemorrhaging."
McIntosh, an English teacher at Weir High School, and Howell, a social studies teacher at Oak Glen High School, are among 13 teachers who were authorized by the board in June to develop the courses.
Since then, they have received training and other support from Pennsylvania Intermediate Unit 1, a multi-county education agency, and its Cyber Solutions Initiative. The Hancock County courses will be powered by Moodle, a free software e-learning platform, McIntosh said.
"Our primary concern is keeping students enrolled in Hancock County Schools," McIntosh said. "We think the Hancock County online school will play a major role in that."
Startup and training costs are being covered by a $120,000 grant from the Pittsburgh-based Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. The Hancock County pilot initiative has already generated interest on the part of the West Virginia Board of Education, Smith said.
Howell said the classes under development include four English courses (grades 9-12), three science courses (biology, earth science, physical science), three math courses (Math 1, 2, 3), and two social studies courses (civics and 10th-grade U.S. history).
Those classes should be ready in time for the start of the second trimester in mid-November, Howell said. Other classes are under development, he said.
"It's all the stuff you cover in a regular classroom," McIntosh said. "You don't just go online, do a couple of Google searches, hand in a worksheet and call it a day."
Also Monday, the board:
* Heard complaints from parent Simon Fighiroae, of Chester, about the new busing schedule, which will combine high school and middle school routes. Fighiroae, whose two children attend Allison Elementary School and Oak Glen Middle School, said the new schedule will mean a 6 a.m. wakeup time for his middle-schooler.
"That is way too early," he said. "To wake up a sixth-grader at 6 o'clock-it is cruel."
Fighiroae said he also doesn't want his child mixing with high school students who may be a bad influence.
Combining routes means Oak Glen Middle School and Weir Middle School students will start their days an hour earlier and get out earlier. The new school year starts on Aug. 18 for teachers and Aug. 20 for students.
High school students will arrive at approximately 7:10 a.m. and depart at 2:40 p.m., while middle school students will arrive at approximately 7:15 a.m. and depart at 2:45 p.m.
Board President Jerry Durante said he understands Fighiroae's concerns but that the benefits of the new policy outweigh the costs.
"There's a potential here to save a huge amount of money because a lot of these buses run at less than capacity," Durante said. "If it presents a problem, we'll deal with it. If it blows up in our face, then we'll go back to the way it was."
* Heard a complaint from parent Jennifer Click about an unnamed math teacher at Oak Glen High School who she said "bullied" her daughter last year.
Click said the teacher had it out for her daughter all year and, two weeks before the end of school, cornered her in the girl's bathroom and wouldn't let her leave.
Click said she spoke to OGHS and district administrators, including then-Principal Barbara Logue and Suzan Smith, before deciding to address the board.
"I was frustrated because I did everything you're supposed to do and still got nowhere," she said. "I was told, 'Your kid's getting an A, so what are you complaining about?'"
Click said her daughter will not have the same teacher this year. She said she talked to then-Assistant Principal David Smith, who told her the teacher would be "put on an improvement plan."
Suzan Smith said she was not at liberty to discuss personnel matters but that "we did look into the situation. We did make arrangements, and that's all I can say."
Click said she wanted to address the board so other students don't have to go through the same "emotional abuse" her daughter did.
* Declared certain equipment and unneeded items in Broadview, Liberty and Weirton Heights Elementary schools as surplus property. The school buildings will be demolished later this year now that the new Weirton Elementary School is finished.
* Declared an 8- by 12-foot wood shed and a 1995 GMC bucket truck surplus property.
* Re-adopted the following school policies: school access; employee/visitor/vendor identification badge; parental request (irregular bus stop/bus); and chaperones' supervision of students.

The decade-old African grey screamed incessantly, and his owner, computer engineering student Andrew Gray, decided to do something about it.
"I wanted to come up with a solution to all the noise," Gray told ABC News, adding that he built a sound-activated squirt gun that sprayed Pepper every time he yelled. "Nothing was working."
Then it came to him.
"I realized the bird needed to be around people constantly. He just needed to be in the same room," Gray said. "So I built the Bird Buggy."
The electric car that the 29-year-old University of Florida graduate student constructed allows the bird to cruise around the house by using a beak-operated joystick. Should Pepper take a congested route, the Bird Buggy's sensors prevent it from bumping into anything. With the flip of a switch the nifty blue vehicle can also have a mind of its own: "robotic mode" uses computer vision to find the charging station.
It took a few months to get Pepper to use his new car, but so far he's happily accepting the treats he receives when he rides it – and Gray and his family are reveling in the newfound quiet it has brought to their home.
"He knows how to drive forwards, backwards, left and right," Gray told ABC News. "He loves his new toy."
To watch Pepper do his thing on the open road, see the video below.

Results suggest FOXO1 controls SOX2 and OCT4 expression. [krishnacreations - Fotolia.com]
Scientists claim the forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factor FOXO1 is an essential component of the cellular control mechanism that maintains pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Studies by a Mount Sinai School of Medicine-led team suggest the protein may directly control OCT4 and SOX2 gene expression by activating the genes' promoters.
Knocking out the human FOXO1 gene in cells resulted in loss of pluripotency markers and eventually evidence of differentiation. Saghi Ghaffari, Ph.D., and colleagues published their results in Nature Cell Biology in a paper titled "FOXO1 is an essential regulator of pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells."
Research to date has shown that hESC pluripotency is maintained by OCT4 (octamer-binding transcription factor 4), NANOG, and SOX2 (SRY-box containing protein). These proteins form a feedback circuit that positively regulates their own genes and activates other genes encoding critical components of pluripotency, while at the same time repressing those involved in developmental processes, the Mount Sinai team reports.
FOXO proteins, meanwhile, are known tumor suppressors, which studies suggest also play key roles in primary stem and progenitor cells. To address whether FOXO proteins play a role in human development, Dr. Ghaffari's team analyzed their expression in hESCs.
They found FOXO1 was the most abundant FOXO at the messenger RNA level in undifferentiated pluripotent H1 hESCs and was at least seven times more abundant than FOXO3A and FOXO4. Conversely, the expression of FOXO1 was markedly downregulated during embryoid body formation and cell commitment to mesoderm and hematopoietic differentiation. In two undifferentiated self-renewing hESC lines most FOXO1 was located in the nucleus. These observations hinted that FOXO1 may also be involved in regulating ESC fate, the authors note.
To investigate a potential role for FOXO1 in hESC pluripotency, the team generated inducible FOXO1-specific knockdown systems based on two different short hairpin RNAs. They found that inhibition of FOXO1 mRNA in H1 cells using either of the distinct shRNAs resulted in >90% depletion of FOXO1 protein expression within 72 hours, which was accompanied by rapid downregulation of OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2 expression. In parallel to the changes in gene expression the cells lost surface markers of pluripotency.
Indeed, FOXO1 knockdown resulted in the spontaneous differentiation of hESCs maintained under pluripotent self-renewal conditions, as shown by the induction of mesoderm and endoderm lineage markers, none of which had previously been reported to be directly directed by FOXO proteins.
"These results also indicate that FOXO1 regulation of pluripotency is due in part to its participation in suppressing the mesoderm and endoderm lineage commitment," the researchers note. Interestingly, the effect of FOXO1 knockdown on hESC pluripotency genes was reversible: reinstating FOXO1 expression in the knockdown within a few days resulted in recovery of OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2.
The researchers moved on to evaluate the effects of forced FOXO1 expression on hESC pluripotency. Lentiviral-mediated ectopic FOXO1 expression induced a significant upregulation of OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2 in two different cell lines, whereas ectopic expression of FoxO3A had no effect on the expression of the three pluripotency genes. Of particular interest, the team adds, was the observation that overexpression of FOXO1 in hESCs also resulted in upregulation of KLF4 and REST, which are genes associated with mouse embryonic stem cell potency.
Conversely, knockdown of FOXO1 in hESCs undergoing a number of passages in self-renewing conditions resulted in the cells' morphology changing to a more flattened, epithelial appearance, which was accompanied by a nearly complete loss of alkaline phosphatase activity, cell surface markers of pluripotency, and transcripts for OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2. These changes were accompanied by the full acquisition of differentiation markers and were not reversible after a few passages, "indicating that FOXO1 is critical for the maintenance of pluripotency in hESCs over time," the authors state.
Adding more evidence to the notion that FOXO1 is critical for pluripotency, the researchers further found that the mouse orthologue of FOXO1 was also critical for the regulation of pluripotency and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells.
hESCs form teratoma-like masses when introduced into immunodeficient mice, and this is a generally accepted approach to demonstrate the developmental potential of pluripotent hESCs in vivo, the researchers continue. "We reasoned that if FOXO1 is critical for hESC pluripotency, loss of its activity should prevent hESCs from forming teratomas in vivo."
This was, indeed, the outcome of knocking out FOXO1 in hESCs transplanted into SCID mice: Whereas all the animals injected with control cells formed cystic tumors containing elements of all three embryhonic germ layers, only two of nine mice administered with the FOXO1 knockouts formed tumors, and these were relatively small.
The next stage was to investigate the mechanism by which FOXO1 regulates pluripotency. Genetic analysis identified highly conserved regions, upstream of the pluripotency genes OCT4 and SOX2 (although not NANOG), which contained putative FOXO binding sites. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies further confirmed that in pluripotent self-renewing hESCs, endogenous FOXO1 bound specifically to sequences within regulatory regions upstream of the OCT4 and SOX2 genes. Reporter assays supported these findings and demonstrated that FOXO1 activates OCT4 and SOX2 transcription through the regulation of specific gene regions.
"The present study demonstrates an essential function for FOXO1 in the regulation of hESC fate," the authors conclude. "Thus, the longevity FOXO proteins emerge as critical nonredundant regulators of both somatic and embryonic stem cell activity. These findings indicate that FOXO1 is a component of the circuitry of hESC pluripotency and support the notion that activation of FOXO1 may be used for improving somatic cell reprogramming."

Nearly 200 dancers are to participate in the year-end recital of Dance Unlimited Studio in Tiffin. "Wings on Our Feet" is to be staged at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at The Ritz Theatre, 30 S. Washington St.
Dance Unlimited Director Cynthia Weaver said Saturday is seniors' night and Sunday is a tribute to teachers.
Ten senior dancers are to give their final recital. Weaver said they are to perform together for one number and also dance with other students in separate jazz and ballet routines.
Article Photos
Beginning ballet students rehearse for their first recital with Dance Unlimited.
In contrast, 12 beginning ballet students will be dancing in their first recital. They began classes in the fall as 3-year-olds, but most have turned 4. Brooklyn Boehler, a Tiffin University graduate, is their instructor, with Emily Ferstler as her assistant. The little girls are dancing to an arrangement of "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star," choreographed by Boehler.
In addition to Boehler, Dance Unlimited has 10 more instructors. They are Lea Frank, Brianna Gaietto, Alyssa Gardner, Kathy Miller, Sarah Raber, Ali Rees, Heather Schalk, Michayla Stallings, Alayna Stastmy and Julie Webb.
Weaver said the teachers choose their own music and choreograph the numbers their students will dance in the recital. Weaver then chooses a general dance theme and title for the show.
Fact Box
Dance Unlimited
Founded in 1981 by Mary Jo Murray, Dance Unlimited classes took place at Heidelberg University until the past few years. The studio now is in Tiffin Mall.
Students can start ballet at age 3, tap at age 4, jazz in first grade, modern and hip hop dance in third grade. All school-age children are welcome to register for instruction and progress at their own rate.
To learn more, visit www.dance
unlimited.com or call (419) 447-5015.
A special souvenir program has been printed for the recital, and it is to be sold to generate funds for the Christi Thomas Scholarship Fund. One senior dancer is selected each year to receive the scholarship to offset the cost of the dancer's last year of lessons.
Tickets are $13 for general admission and $5 for children 12 and younger.
To purchase tickets, call the box office at (419) 448-8544.

Police officer's attorney requests new trial in Little League pins case
June 21, 2013
An attorney representing a Williamsport police officer who lost a civil jury trial after jurors believed he violated a couple's Constitutional rights by seizing their Little League pin collection ha......
The real crime here is the $153,400 in attorney fees and $8,174 in costs that the plaintiff's attorney is looking to recoup!

No, the real issue is the finding of a jury. An attorney usually seeks compensation in a matter such as this. How many hours do you think were spent on a case of this nature. I agree it would be nice to see billable hours and costs of filings and so forth from each side.

Seems to me Kontz would be better served to just take his punishment and get this story out of the headlines. Sure, his little ego is bruised but if even half of what we read was true he deserves what he got. Get over it, Kontz and get back to work - hah! Now there's a laugh.

Great. Even more tax payer dollars wasted because an arrogant jerk can't admit he's wrong. What's with the mayor and cops in this town? They're never wrong in their minds. Like children. Dumb, bully children.

Spike2 -- That the attorney is seeking to recoup costs is not what I was complaining about. It was the costs the attorney was seeking to recoup. Let's do the math on this one and put it into perspective -- $161,574 total is what the attorney wants. If his rate was $150 per hour, he would have spent 134 eight-hour days doing nothing but work on this case. C'mon. Really?!?
How about he takes his cut out of the meager $45k settlement the jury awarded?

Can someone please explain to me WHY this cop is still an "investigator" for the city of Williamsport. The 4th Amendment is "huge" and he isn't fired? Seems to be a few really good cops have been let go for a lot less. This guy knocked on someones door and pretty much "stole" from them, in uniform no less. Now, we, the taxpayers have to pay for his stupidity and ego? If I did that I'd be in the county and have to pay my own restitution after time served. Why weren't criminal charges filed? Did the Attorney General get involved in this and why not?
