BOSTON – In the spirit of all the chatter after the morning skate, the Buffalo Sabres spent Thursday night punching and counter punching.
In the end, the biggest blows were delivered by Thomas Vanek.
The NHL's hottest scorer exploded for his second five-point game of the season and first hat trick as the Sabres wiped out a two-goal deficit and stormed past the Boston Bruins, 7-4, in TD Garden.
With swarms of Boston media still talking up Milan Lucic's destruction of Ryan Miller here more than 14 months ago, the Sabres had to prove they were up to the task this time on the fight card. Showing some battle on the scoreboard was also required. The judges' cards were positive on both counts.
Tough guy John Scott KO'd Boston counterpart Shawn Thornton in a one-sided fight in the first three minutes to set a good tone. After a scoreless opening 20 minutes, Buffalo fell into a 3-1 hole following a second-period Bruins barrage. The Sabres tied it by the end of the period, fell behind again early in the third and then won it by scoring the game's final four goals.
"That was a little bit of old-time firewagon hockey," cracked coach Lindy Ruff.
The Sabres pulled even at 3-3-1 by snapping their four-game losing streak and handed Boston (5-1-1) its first regulation loss of the season. The Bruins had also been 4-0 at home. The Sabres left immediately after the game for Montreal, where they're scheduled to practice this morning and meet the Canadiens on Saturday at 2 in the Bell Centre.
Vanek opened the scoring at 1:38 of the second period, one-timing a bullet past Tuukka Rask off a perfect feed from Cody Hodgson on a two-on-one. Jason Pominville did the dirty work at the Buffalo blue line by chipping the puck away from Zdeno Chara.
After the Bruins scored three goals in a span of 5:42 to get the sellout crowd roaring, Vanek silenced them at 16:46 with a perfect deflection of a Christian Ehrhoff pass. It came while the Sabres had a two-man advantage and got Buffalo within 3-2.
After some great work by Marcus Foligno near the Boston blue line, Vanek helped the Sabres pull even at 3-3 at 18:19 by hooking a sensational pass while falling down to Tyler Ennis, who pounded the puck past Rask.
In the third period, Vanek fed Hodgson on a two-on-one for what proved to be the winning goal at 6:54, and toyed with Rask on a breakaway with multiple dekes to put Buffalo up, 6-4, with 1:29 to go.
"Pucks are going in right now for me," Vanek said. "With Pommer I've always had good chemistry and Cody fits right in. There's going to be stretches where nothing goes. You like it right now but it's going to hit the other way too."
Doesn't seem that way. While playing only six games, Vanek has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) – and that put him in the NHL scoring lead pending San Jose's game later Thursday against Edmonton. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau of the Sharks entered that one with 14 apiece.
Vanek also had five points in the season opener Jan. 20 against Philadelphia. How rare is two five-point games in 12 days? Last season in 82 games, Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin was the only NHL player with more than one five-point game (he had four). In the 2010-11 season, no one had more than one.
Pretty rare indeed.
"This is the best stretch he's played," Pominville said. "He's good on both sides of the puck. He's skating well. He's making plays. It's fun for our line to be able to click the way we have early on and hopefully we can keep it going."
Pominville and Hodgson both had three-point nights, giving the team's top line 11 in the game. Pominville capped the win on an empty-netter with 13.6 seconds left.
The key stretch was Buffalo's five-on-three, which came courtesy of a Lucic boarding penalty and a holding call on Chara before the whistle blew. Vanek was on the ice without going to the bench for 3 minutes, 11 seconds, only getting a few seconds of a breather when a video review was held on his second goal.
"I wanted to get off but every time we got it" to the blue line, "it kept coming back in so I wanted to get it to the net," Vanek said. "Marcus was the one who made the play. He didn't just turn around and threw it. He made a great play to me and Ennis was there. All I had to do was get it over."
"We needed it. If they kill that off and we don't come out of that, this building erupts," Ruff said. "But we scored. It gave us that little bit of life and to get the Ennis goal after the penalty expired, that's probably the difference in the game."
It was 3-3 after two periods and Boston took the lead at 1:46 of the third on David Krejci's goal. But the Sabres bounced back to make it 4-4 just 42 seconds later as Alexander Sulzer snapped home a shot from the right circle for his first of the year after a neat backhand feed from Mikhail Grigorenko, who earned his first NHL assist.
Vanek then took over but he had plenty of help. Ryan Miller made 38 saves, several from in tight when the Sabres were protecting the lead.
"On the bench we kept telling ourselves, 'Let's go get the next one' and we did," Vanek said. "Obviously that was big. If they get that [fifth] one, I don't think we'd be here right now but we didn't let that happen."
Sabres 7, Bruins 4
Slap shots: Vanek piles up three goals, two assists, feeds Hodgson for game-winner as Sabres rally from two-goal deficit. ... Teams split six goals in second period ... Grigorenko gets first NHL assist.
Fast fact: The Sabres have given up just two first-period goals this season but have yielded 12 in the second.
Next game: at Montreal Canadiens, Saturday, 2 p.m. in Bell Centre.

EAST LIVERPOOL-"Bad Moon Rising" started out as an admittedly "silly idea"-to write a book with three authors, one chapter at a time.
Now that they have the finished product, authors Cathy Seckman, Debbie Schukert and Darlene Torday don't think it's so silly. They enjoyed their unusual collaboration so much that they're working on a second book-a collection of short stories tentatively titled "H2O Mysteries."
"We're still friends, and we had a good time," said Seckman, 58, of Calcutta. "You just have to set your ego aside."

"Bad Moon Rising" went live on Kindle in October and became available for sale as a paperback on Amazon.com in December. Now the three women are hoping for rising sales.
The weekend found them at Java Jo House, 514 E. Fifth St., East Liverpool, signing copies of the book for an occasional customer. They'll return for another book signing at 11 a.m. March 23.
Seckman, Schukert and Torday met about 10 years ago at a meeting of Writers Anonymous, a group of aspiring and accomplished writers who gather for advice and inspiration at the Barnes & Noble in Boardman.
At one meeting in 2006, members drew slips of paper with different genres-mystery, fiction, history-written on them. Schukert, 53, of Edinburg, Pa., pulled out history and decided to write a story about Woodstock.
"I was always fascinated with hippies. I always wanted to be a hippie," she said.
Torday, 64, of Berlin Center, Ohio, pulled out mystery and wrote a chapter in which one of Schukert's main characters is murdered.
"That really freaked me out for a while," Schukert said. "You were in charge of your chapter, so you could take the story wherever you wanted it to go."
Soon, the women had embarked on a book project that had each of them contributing a chapter and commenting on the work of their predecessor.
"It was up to each individual person what they wanted to do, and it was up to the next person to deal with it," Seckman said. "In the end, we had a complete book."
Set in the years 1969 and 1970, "Bad Moon Rising" tells the story of a group of friends from Kent State University who attend the Woodstock music festival and who, upon their return to college, get drawn into a murder investigation. The 18-chapter story is bookended with the historical events of Woodstock and the Kent State shootings.
In 2009, the women traveled to Kent to do historical research on the shootings, ending up there on the May 4 anniversary of the shootings, Torday said. They spent time poring over archival documents and visiting historic sites.
"By the time we got to a little over halfway done, we decided we were really going to have a book," Torday said. "We just knew we wanted it to end at the Kent State shootings."
After the women had a full manuscript, with each of them contributing about a third, they met regularly for the painstaking editing process.
"When we met, we'd have an idea in mind, and we would work that out among the three of us," Seckman said. "Only two people needed to agree. If we waited until all three of us agreed, we'd never have got it done."
The editing process was strengthened by the fact that two of the three women had been published before. An experienced freelance writer, with hundreds of articles in her portfolio, Seckman also is author of "Weirdo World" (Cool Well Press, $3.99), a time travel novel for young adults. Torday has had short stories published in True Story, True Romance and True Confessions magazines.
As the youngest and least experienced writer among the three, Schukert said it was "terrible" having to start the book off but now counts the project as "one of the best experiences of my life."
After unsuccessfully trying to find a publisher for the book, the women decided to publish "Bad Moon Rising" through Amazon's CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform.
"For an independent author, it's a wonderful thing," Seckman said. "You don't have to wait for a publisher to like your book."
Regardless of whether the book sells, the women were pleased with the finished product and were convinced they had a good story, Seckman said.
"I'm kind of amazed that it worked so well with the three of us," Torday said, "because we're all different people, and we all have different experiences in life. The characters kind of brought us together, and we just managed to work it out."

When the stresses of the working day become too much, or even if the stresses of being a student become too, err... cosmic, the Laser Sphere is a supremely psychedelic way to chill out. Projecting all kinds of freaky-good laser patterns onto the ceiling, you'll feel like you've been transported to a Pink Floyd show (Piper At The Gates Of Dawn-era Floyd, that is, none of that Wall rubbish). Just plug it in when you're in need of a cosmic pick-me-up and let the day float away…
It comes with a removable lid so that, if you should feel that way inclined, you can confine the laser to the sphere itself or let all those reds, blues, greens purples and whatever else fill up the whole room. So whether the moment needs a little bit of quiet ambience or a full-on sensory explosion, this colour-phasing little life-lightener has got you covered. Covered in goooood vibes, obviously. Perfect for the bedroom, the lounge or even outdoors (though don't expect to be able to see the colours reflect off the lunar surface), the Laser Sphere is one of our favourite ways to totally relax. Man.

The Laser Sphere is even better than I expected! The light patterns are so pretty and spread across the whole ceiling! And when the lid's on, it makes such a pretty lamp. It's smaller than I expected but this is a good thing.
Brilliant gift makes some really cool patterns.
I was a bit dubious about how well the Laser Sphere would work having watched the video and how amazing it looked, and I have to say wow! It is exactly as it appears in the video, amazing smoky orb of smouldering colour with the lid on and mesmerising laser display with the lid off. Bought this as a gift for my friend's birthday, but once we'd opened it to test it out, we ordered another one and kept that one for ourselves! Highly recommend this light!
When I got the Laser Sphere and set it up it was absolutely fantastic. However, after about 3-4 days of sporadic use it's started making a rather loud rattling noise whenever it's on. Pretty sure it's the motor that turns the lights around. While this isn't a problem when you're listening to music which drowns it out, if you just want to sit in peace and quiet and watch it, it's very distracting.
Seeing as this Laser Sphere is such a small size it looks fantastic pointed at the ceiling in a dark room. It features lovely colours and patterns.
I bought this Laser Sphere as a gift for my mum - she loves it. It was supposed to be for her bedroom to help her relax at night but she loves it so much she has it in her front room! We tested it first and love it ourselves so much we have bought one for our house too. This is a really nice calming light display and it's very easy to just sit and chill out and watch.
Love the Laser Sphere, I bought it for my 2 year old nephew who is struggling to stay in his own bed. I'm hoping it'll help!
I absolutely love this. It works well as a lamp to illuminate the surrounding area when the cover is on, and when you take it off... wow. It really does light up the room in all different colours. My one gripe about it would be that it's predominantly red, and there's always red there which gives the other colours less time to shine through. Other than that it's a perfect little gadget, great for young and old alike I think. Would recommend.
The Laser Sphere light is very vague and not very impressive!
Although I was initially disappointed with the size and plastic-ness of the overall laser sphere, it is very powerful and works amazingly, overall very happy with the purchase. Never a dull night again.
I haven't actually seen the Laser Sphere as I had it shipped direct to my friend's son who has been pretty poorly. The news was that he absolutely loves it - his Mum also agrees that the lights are pretty cool and found it really relaxing to just lie down and watch. This is really great value for money.
The Laser Sphere arrived promptly. The children will probably like it but for us (the grandparents) we were... underwhelmed. It does what it says on the box and will probably be enjoyed in a child's bedroom.
This Laser Sphere is excellent and gives you great value for money. I purchased this for my disabled grandson and I know he will love it.
I love the Laser Sphere's changing of 3 colours, but it has more use without the lid on. The lid is slightly coloured so you cannot see much with it on. I still love it for my son, and the till has good use too.
The Laser Sphere really is an awesome light. After buying one for my son's 18th and really loving it, I decided to buy one for myself and my 5 month old goddaughter. Her sleep patterns have kept her parents awake most nights, but after using this as a night light, she is entertained and managing to sleep for longer. Her parents are pleased and very grateful. I would recommend this light to everyone....
The Laser Sphere is fantastic but I had to wait a while for it to arrive. Can't emphasise enough how good the product is for the price.
I bought the Laser Sphere as part of my son's 18th birthday celebration, and it is a brilliant present. My front room was lit up like a firework display and the teenagers were amazed at how good it was. They have even asked me where I bought it from. I love it because it has a calming and relaxing effect when watched. I'm going to buy another for myself, thanks IWOOT for another great product! I have no hesitation in recommending this to everyone.
I bought the Laser Sphere because I love anything that changes colour and I was not disappointed. It absolutely blazes out shafts of colour and the rainbow is in my room. I just think that this light could not get any better. I would recommend this beautiful light to anyone.
I love this Laser Sphere and I am entirely happy with it. It lived up to product detail and I was very pleased with the quick delivery. Would recommend both the product and this site.
We got this Laser Sphere for our 9 year old son and he loves it. His younger sister loves it and I've put it on my Christmas list too. It is stunning to look at and great for all ages. It's the ideal gift for anyone that just loves a great gadget. Well worth the money spent.
I bought this Laser Sphere for my daughter who is autistic and liked it so much I ordered another one for myself. I put it on during the evening to calm down my senses ready for restful sleep. Thank you it's at a brilliant price.
Bought this Laser Sphere for my daughter to help her relax before bed. With the dome off it's a pretty good light show, but a bit too bright and distracting to help her sleep. With the dome on it acts as a good night light, except when it turns a sinister red. Good effects for the money.
The Laser Sphere projects the patterns either on the shell, which can be removed, or onto any wall or ceiling. Direction of beam can be changed by about 30 degrees. Works perfectly.
I got the Laser Sphere as a night light for myself. It's so good I'm going to buy some more as presents.
This Laser Spher has been an excellent buy. I would definitely recommend one of these cool lights.
Didn't know exactly what to expect but glad I bought this. It gives off gorgeous colours and is a stunning nebula. The light displays all over the ceiling and walls at night. Very relaxing and doesn't get repetitive at all. Very impressed and so glad I bought one as a Christmas present!
Bought this for my son who has Autism, he has it in his dark den and he loves it, it really calms him down which in turn calms down mummy. In fact its so great that I now have to buy one for my daughter. It's great with the dome on but when you take it off, the lights go all over the ceiling and walls.
The Laser Spher is an excellent product. It gives off a spectacular light show and makes my room feel nice and relaxing. Perfect for creating a relaxing mood.
To walk into the room and see this magical glow pleases all ages. The Laser Sphere transformed a teenagers bedroom into more of a den and the best description has to be that it is simply "cool".
Got this today, put it on and was in awe! There are some very expensive laser light gadgets out there but before you part with your dough, please take a look at this little baby, it's very relaxing. I was staring at the ceiling and walls like a child watching the first snow of christmas.
This Laser Sphere is an absolute must for those geek spacehead moments when only a living room lightshow will do. It's fantastic with the lid on, like you've trapped a magic spell in there and it's trying to get out. But turn your lights off and take the lid off, and there's a psychedelic lightshow on your roof and all around you. At its relatively low price, you just can't miss this. It's great with relaxed tunes in the background.
Bought one for a friends birthday - one of those things she would never buy for herself. While I waited for it to arrive wasn't sure I'd done the right thing....maybe she'd prefer shoes or make-up or something. Fears proved to be totally unfounded - she tells everyone about this amazing globe. It was actually much, much better than I expected - especially with the lid off. With the lid on and a few glasses of wine we were also pretty sure we could see pterodactyls flying around the green gaseous planet! It is extremely relaxing and a good talking point too. I would definitely recommend.
For the price this Laser Spher is amazing. Get the height right where you stand it, take the top off and you've got a fabulous and very bright laser show with constantly moving colour changing background. This is all projected onto the ceiling or wall (it can be angled up to 45% on its base, which is neat). The LEDs phases between blue and green and the red lasers dance complex patterns slowly round. The whole thing rotates below an uneven crystal surface further diffracting the lightshow. It's mesmerizing and goes perfectly with my massage chair and some ambient music! It's relaxation heaven.
...which should be 'Stuff That Keeps A 3 Year Old Boy Amused For Hours'. The Laser Sphere is a cracking product, producing a very pleasing green and blue colour shifting cloud with a few red shooting stars thrown in. The phases of green and blue overlap with the red so you get a nice slow colour shift too. The top rotates to keep the clouds and stars moving and positioned correctly (low enough) the light show extends to the walls as well as the ceiling. With the top on, you get a crystal ball like magic lamp, or at least what a crystal ball might look like if they actually existed outside of the world of 'you will meet a tall dark stranger'. A white ceiling and light coloured walls, one duvet and a couple of cushions make for an impromptu star gazing session which will entertain a 3 year old for ages.
Bought two laser spheres - one for the lounge and one for the bathroom. The sphere changes colour with the top on, but once you take it off, the light not only shines on the walls but also on the ceiling. Excellent for those evenings when you just want to destress. Would recommend.
The Laser Sphere is a nice bit of mood lighting. The light produced with the diffuser off may not cover the same distance as a "laser pod" but the overall light show has a more ambient effect in my opinion. It fills the space with light not just putting spots of colour on some parts of the wall which the "laser pod" does. With the diffuser on its much the same story. Overall my opinion is the "laser sphere" and "laser pod" although producing the effects similar ways are different beasts and fulfill separate needs. The ideal placing for a "laser sphere" would be in a corner of a room as you get 2 walls for light to bounce off close enough to produce strong light. If you have high ceilings this is a must or the effects are very faint.
This Laser Sphere is simply brilliant and so relaxing to watch. I prefer it with the dome on - it transports you to another world. So good in fact, I've just ordered another for my office.
Very nice product, the lasers are much brighter than i thought they would be and they can be seen clearly in daylight. I would recommend this to anyone.
If you love watching beautiful things and have a white ceiling, you actually need a Laser Sphere. It's hypnotically relaxing and seriously addictive! Team it up with trance music and incense sticks for a magical journey into your mind.
A pretty cool lightshow for the price.. i got one today, and was pleasantly surprised when i switched it on :) Under the diffuser globe, it contains 3 red lasers, and 6 LEDs, and a motorised rotating glass disk. The glass disk is covered in lumps which diffract and distort the lasers and LEDs making a colour-changing nebula pattern with red-laser patterns dancing almost randomly on the wall, or on the diffuser globe.
This Laser Sphere is a brilliant little gadget. Small, sleek and it gets everyone talking. You get a completely different effect with the globe on and the colours are amazing, then when you lift off the little globe your ceiling explodes with the most amazing patterns of lasers and colours. I felt like I was in a very cool nightclub... only it was my bedroom. This is a party piece and it will be handy when we have our next party at home and the music is going! Both effects are brilliant and the little ball can even tilts to give you the right amount of coverage on your ceiling. I love it and would recommend anyone to buy this!

NEW CUMBERLAND - Hancock County commissioners are defending their purchase of two high school football stadiums even as they prepare to take ownership of the Newell and Weirton properties.
Commissioner Dan Greathouse said at Thursday's commissioners' meeting that the purchase was for economic development purposes only. Greathouse directed his remarks to Hancock County residents who may be wondering why the commissioners decided to buy the stadiums.
"We will offer these sites to potential clients who will create jobs and a tax base for Hancock County," Greathouse said. "Nothing will be developed on those sites that is not for the betterment of this county."
Also Thursday, commissioners approved a revised agreement with the Hancock County school board for the purchase of Newell Memorial Field and the old Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton. The revised agreement, the result of a legal review by the school board's attorney, is substantially the same as the one approved by commissioners on Nov. 26, Greathouse said.
"It was just dotting the I's and crossing the T's," he said.
Commissioners and the school board expect to close on the sale in about 10 days, he said. County attorney Bill Fahey said he will use that time to draw up three deeds - one for the Newell stadium, one for the Weirton stadium and one for the oil, gas and mineral rights.
The Hancock County school board voted 3-1 on Nov. 30 to accept the commissioners' offer of $400,000 for both stadium properties. The board had been trying to sell them since June, when they were declared surplus properties. A public auction for the Newell stadium held on Oct. 25 was unsuccessful because the bid came in too low.
Greathouse said commissioners decided to make an offer on the stadiums when it became apparent that there was "no resolution in sight. Concerned citizens approached the commission about rumors for low-income housing on one of the sites. We took this into consideration."
Greathouse said commissioners also were encouraged by the acquisition and reclamation of the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery site in Chester. Hancock County, he said, is in desperate need of land for economic development.
"The last three years, many inquiries have come to the Business Development Corporation (of the Northern Panhandle) looking for property in Hancock County for development," he said.
Commissioner Jeff Davis encouraged local developers interested in building on the stadium properties to contact the commissioners' office. "We're willing to entertain any offer," he said. "We're looking to build a tax base and create jobs."
In other business Thursday, commissioners:
* Rescinded the request to re-bid a contract for the replacement of street signs that have been knocked over. The county will use in-house maintenance personnel to install road signs from now on.
* Entered into a contract with the MazurKraemer law firm of Weirton to develop a social media policy for the county. Legal fees are not to exceed $1,500. The new social media policy will eventually become part of the county's employee manual.
* Passed a resolution accepting the conditions of a $1,000 grant for external repairs to the Hancock County Historical Museum.
* Renewed the county's managed vision care contract with Vision Benefits of America through Nov. 30, 2014. The monthly renewal rate is $5.20 per single member and $12.20 per family unit.
* Approved the payment of $710 to retiring chief bookkeeper Joyce Beatty for five unused vacation days.

Your location: Home > Science > Workstreams > Systematic Observation
High quality systematic observations of the Earth's climate and other variables are the foundation
for solid decision-making on future action on climate change. Systematic observation of past and current
conditions allows clear projections of future changes and prediction of impacts, so as to inform decision
making and action.
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) has identified a set of 50 Essential Climate
Variables (ECVs), which are feasible for global implementation and needed to understand, predict and
manage countries' responses to climate change. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and its
member states operate the global observing
system (GOS). A subset of this is used by the GCOS for climate observations. The GOS comprises
observing facilities on land, at sea, in the air and in outer space. These facilities are owned and
operated by the Member countries of WMO each of which undertakes to meet certain responsibilities in the
agreed global scheme so that all countries can benefit from the consolidated efforts.
SBSTA plays a central role in implementing systematic observation under the UNFCCC, liaising with important
partner programmes, including WMO, GCOS and CEOS and other organizations. GCOS
has provided an implementation plan for the global climate observing system ( gcos-138). CEOS
contributed to the GCOS satellite supplement of this implementation plan ( gcos-154).
GCOS and CEOS provide regular reports to the SBSTA on the implementation of this plan
and its satellite supplement (see chronology for links to reports).
At SBSTA 41 2014, Lima, Peru, the SBSTA reemphasized the importance of systematic observation for the
UNFCCC process at large and the continued need to secure funding to meet the essential needs for national,
regional and global climate observations under the Convention on a long term basis (see FCCC/SBSTA/2014/5).
Earlier decisions by COP identified deficiencies in climate observing networks. Decision 14/CP.4
page 56) urges Parties to undertake action on all aspects of systematic observation and data exchange and
support observation systems and meteorological services.
At COP 5, the COP invited all Parties to provide detailed reports on systematic observation in line
with reporting
guidelines on global climate observing systems, as part of their national communications for Annex
I Parties and on a voluntary basis for non-Annex I Parties.
At COP 11, by decision 11/CP.13 (page 45)
on Reporting on global observing systems for climate, the COP adopted revised UNFCCC
reporting guidelines on global climate change observing systems and decided that these guidelines
be used for the preparation of detailed technical reports on systematic observation in accordance with the
provisions of decisions 4/CP.5 and 5/CP.5. Annex I Parties provide these reports as part of their
national communications.
At SBSTA 33, the SBSTA encouraged Parties when preparing their national communications to take
into consideration the new requirements identified in the 2010 updated GCOS implementation plan, in
particular the new essential climate variables (ECVs). The SBSTA noted that any future revision of
relevant UNFCCC reporting guidelines, in particular those on global climate change observing systems,
should take into account the new elements identified in that plan (see FCCC/SBSTA/2010/13
paragraph 44).

Effective January 10, 2005, the Ohio Central School System (OCSS) centralized the high school programs at the Madison and London Correctional Institutions. The Ohio Central High School is designed to better serve the Ohio Department of Education requirements for graduation. This unified high school provides Carnegie units to both the juvenile offenders at Madison Correctional and the adult students at London Correctional. In addition, the Ohio Central High School offers a high school options program for those students in other DRC institutions.
We believe the unified Ohio Central High School enables the OCSS to maintain a higher school staff retention pattern. Other benefits include:
|Social Studies
|Foreign Language
|Fine Arts
|High School Options
Q* - offered every quarter, A** 0 offered as necessary
The Ohio Central School System maintains a unique system of literacy units to serve our lowest Adult Basic Education students. This concept of literacy units began at the London Correctional Institution in 1987 and has expanded since to 22 institutions. The theory that prompted the creation of the literacy units was that students would live and learn with their tutors both in class and outside of class if they all shared the same space – that learning and instruction would occur beyond the classroom.
Generally, each literacy teacher is assigned 60 students and 30 trained inmate tutors or a 2 to 1 ratio. The trained tutors work with the students on a specific program that is developed for each student under the direction and expertise of a certified teacher. This frees the teachers to work with small groups, to do assessments and to observe the students as they work. Students identified as literacy students are assigned to the literacy units in what could be termed as an educational therapeutic community. The literacy units in the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction serve functionally illiterate students with a reading level of 226 or below on the CASAS or 6.0 or below on the TABE. These students upon identification are moved to a living unit where school is conducted for six hours a day, five days a week. Instruction in these units is primarily focused on reading and writing while the format is small group, or one-on-one tutoring in basic literacy skills. OCSS tutors are trained in a variety of methods to complement the instruction of our literacy teachers at each institution.
This past year our literacy units served 3168 students. Our tutor trainers trained 936 literacy tutors to tutor other inmates. We currently maintain 1208 inmate tutors at all of our 31 institutions. Over the last 10 years approximately 8000 tutors have been trained. This past year 247,145 tutor hours were reported. The Ohio Central School System literacy program continues to evolve and during the coming years we anticipate a number of positive changes.[Back to top]
During this past year, the OCSS Curriculum Committee approved a new character education curriculum. This curriculum replaces the former Developing Character for Reentering Society, which was enacted in 2002. The purpose of this curriculum is to provide character education for student development. Lessons are intended to provide the student with the necessary social and emotional skills to succeed in their daily lives both in and out of correctional facilities.
Character Education programs include, but are not limited to, Designs for Progress which provides instructional courses of study which emphasize the affective domain, that is, high order cognitive skills as described in Bloom's Taxonomy (thinking and responding appropriately); and Positive Solutions or values clarification which includes understanding of the different types of personalities and how to deal appropriately with them. The latter is based on a color scheme which identifies the different personality types – Orange, the highly creative, global thinker; Blue, the empathetic people person; Green, the highly analytical person; Orange, the highly organized individual. Tools for Success is a character education program designed for the Career Technical student that includes elements of the both programs described above and how they relate to the world of work. Other programs are also available in a tool kit, which include variations of all of the above.
Due to the needs of the students, development of appropriate social and emotional behaviors/skills, are critical for successful reentry into society. Such skills would include, but are not limited to: appropriate communications, problem solving, emotional growth, successful decision-making, workplace readiness, personal growth and lifelong learning.
Acquisition of these skills can be achieved through a variety of materials and instructional methods. In an effort to better meet the needs of the students, teachers will be able to choose which materials are appropriate within guidelines of department policies and procedures.[Back to top]

Like many other Buffalo expatriates who have moved far away from Ralph Wilson Stadium, Jerry Wojcik wanted to stay connected to his hometown Bills.
So earlier this season, the Florida resident signed up for a Bills program that sends fans text messages.
Trouble is, he says, the text alerts became too frequent. So now he and his attorneys are suing the Bills, in the form of a class-action lawsuit, complaining that the team sent him a few extra messages.
In their legal papers, his attorneys claim that after he signed up for a Bills program that pledged to send him no more than five text alerts per week, he instead received six messages one week and seven a few weeks later.
That's a total of three extra texts, over several weeks.
Some people clearly would label this a frivolous lawsuit.
"I'm just appalled," a Bills fan with personal knowledge of the case said, before turning sarcastic. "Obviously, he was grievously harmed and is deserving of a pile of season-ticket money."
Buffalo attorney Thomas H. Burton, who has served as both a plaintiffs' and defense attorney, sounded concerns about the effect such lawsuits have on public perceptions of the legal system.
"I like to think that the plaintiff attorneys, at least around here, bring these claims when someone has a legitimate and meaningful injury and real damages," Burton said. "My sense is that as long as you stick to the good substantive cases, citizens and jurors don't have a bad view of the system.
"I'm not sure suing over text messages fits the bill."
Wojcik's attorneys, both also from Western New York, have a totally different view.
Text message spam costs Americans hundreds of millions of dollars per year, attorneys Scott D. Owens and James S. Giardina stated, in written replies to email questions. They also cited two spam-settlement cases of about $20 million and $47 million.
"Furthermore, a 'frivolous lawsuit' is one that has little chance of succeeding in court," the two attorneys stated. "This case is exactly the opposite. We have a defendant who appears to have violated a federal law on multiple occasions, affecting thousands of people. Whether you are a fan of the Bills or not, no one should spam their customers. The [Telephone Consumer Protection Act] has been on the books for more than 20 years. The Bills either knew or should have known that they were breaking the law."
But attorney Michael Schiavone, of Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria, who's representing the Bills, pointed out that the intent of that law was to protect consumers against unwanted and unsolicited phone calls; the law later was extended to text messages.
"Clearly, that's not what happened here," Schiavone said, referring to the belief that Wojcik signed up for the mobile alerts.
Owens and Giardina say they don't know how large the class will be for this class-action lawsuit, but their research suggests similar pro sports teams have mobile-marketing databases ranging anywhere from 4,000 to 93,000 subscribers.
While the attorneys cited only two occasions when the Bills sent more than five messages per week, they say the exact number of violations will be found later.
The lawsuit has a decidedly local flavor. Wojcik is a native Western New Yorker in his mid-30s who moved to Tampa Bay in 2001, and both his attorneys also have local roots. Owens is a Williamsville East and University at Buffalo graduate, while Giardina graduated from Sweet Home High School and UB Law School. Each spends a substantial part of his practice on Telephone Consumer Protection Act cases.
In the court papers, filed in U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, Wojcik and his attorneys claim that on Sept. 12, while visiting the team's website, he read an ad about receiving mobile text messages from the Bills.
"Get up to the minute news and team alerts sent directly to your phone!" the program's terms and conditions state, according to court papers. "You will be opted in to receive 3-5 messages per week for a period of 12 months."
After Wojcik subscribed, the Bills texted him a message confirming his participation. In his second full week after signing up, from Sept. 23-29, Wojcik received six text messages from the Bills, the court papers state. Several weeks later, from Oct. 14-20, he received seven.
Those excessive texts, auto-dialed to all the subscribers, were made without their consent and in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the lawsuit claims.
The suit seeks statutory damages of $500 per excessive call for negligent violations and up to $1,500 per call for willful violations. Those amounts could be multiplied by the thousands of subscribers receiving the excessive texts.
The complaint, though, does not specify the claimed harm caused by the extra messages.
And the court papers don't explain why, if Wojcik were harmed by the extra message late in September, he didn't drop out of the program.
Wojcik could not be reached to comment.
Burton, the attorney who's been on both the plaintiff and defense sides, came up with his own resolution for the dispute:
"Maybe the Bills should just send this guy a bucket of chicken wings and a case of Labatt's beer and call the whole thing even."

--Study at British Haematology Meeting Reports Increased Survival with Good Quality of Life --
North Hollywood, CA and Würzburg, Germany - April 11, 2008 - The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF)—supporting research and providing education, advocacy and support for myeloma patients, families, researchers and physicians—today said a study presented at the British Society for Haematology Annual Meeting demonstrates that REVLIMID® has the ability to add years to myeloma patients' lives, and that these years fall within the quality-adjusted life years, or QALY guidelines. QALY is a measurement of cost-effectiveness of a drug based on quality of life achieved, not just the number of years.
Specifically, the study showed the standard REVLIMID plus high dose dexamethasone added at least three years of life compared to dexamethasone alone. Reviewers found the data so impressive that the trial, intended to last ten years, was stopped after just 18 months to allow all patients in the study to take advantage of the therapy.
"These findings provide more evidence that myeloma is demonstrating that blood cancers can be managed, allowing patients to feel good and maintain active, productive lives," said Susie Novis, president and co-founder of the IMF. "REVLIMID does not have the side effects typically associated with chemotherapy, and along with the other 'novel therapies,' VELCADE® and THALOMID®, it is giving physicians the ability to use new classes of drugs in combinations and in sequence to extend even the impressive results in this study and allow patients to achieve long term 'quality' remissions."
Although once considered a rare disease of the elderly, today myeloma is being diagnosed in increasing numbers and in increasingly younger people. Last year a similar study in the United States from a consortium called the Southwest Oncology Group was also stopped early because of the impressive results of the REVLIMID-dexamethasone combination. A study from the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group lead by the Mayo clinic demonstrated that lowering the dose of the accompanying dexamethasone could achieve better results and further improve the quality of life for patients.
Myeloma, also called multiple myeloma, is a cancer of the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells. It affects an estimated 750,000 people worldwide.
The International Myeloma Foundation is the oldest and largest myeloma organization, reaching more than 165,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses in four key areas: research, education, support and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 120 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and operates Bank On A Cure®, a unique gene bank to advance myeloma research. The IMF was rated as the number one resource for patients in an independent survey by the Target Research Group. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE, or out of the United States at (818) 487-7455. More information is available at www.myeloma.org.

Terrorism & War: Surgeon General Issues Mental Illness Alert
April 10, 2003 --"Today there's no greater mental health issue facing us as a nation than the effects of terrorism and war," Vice Admiral Richard Carmona, U.S. Surgeon General, said Friday, citing illnesses including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, as well as, national concern over suicide rates.
"The stress is as real as the level orange alert that we are waking up to these days,"Carmona warned California Psychological Association members Friday. Acknowledging intense human reactions related to the terrorist and war events, he stated that immediate shock, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances are common.
"Depression is a major public health problem in America," said Carmona in his speech. "The good news is that help is available for people who have persistent depression. In any given trial over a year, 80% of people with depression respond to treatment. Depression is an illness that we can treat, but unfortunately, we don't treat. You can change that."
Carmona introduced the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) "Real Men. Real Depression." campaign, to get the message out that there's absolutely no reason for anyone to suffer in silence.
"It (depression) affects an estimated 6 million men annually," he stated. "As someone who is ex-army Special Forces, an ex-cop, ex-paramedic, and a former trauma surgeon, I can tell you that for generations, men like me have been told that we have to 'act tough.' This campaign, which you'll start seeing all over the airwaves, says to men, 'It's okay to talk to someone about what you're thinking, or how you're feeling, or if you're hurting.'
"We are attacking the stigma that tough guys can't seek help. They can, and they should."
There is help in the form of reliable information about how to cope with mental illness concerns, according to Carmona. The HHS department has launched a new section on its web site focused on mental health and traumatic events. The site offers a wealth of materials and tips on ways to deal with exposure to traumatic events including violence, terrorism and war. It includes citizen-centered information for a variety of audiences, including first responders, children, parents and teachers. The information can be found at www.hhs.gov.
"When people are constantly exposed to war's images and there's no respite, fear builds up until it becomes an individual's primary emotion," the Surgeon General stated. "We know that fear is critical to survival because it readies the body for danger. Physiologic responses include the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which increases heart rate, blood pressure and blood flow to muscles, and the release of stress hormones such as cortisol, which make energy available. While this physiologic response is highly adaptive in response to a short-term emergency, it has harmful effects on the body if it becomes chronic.
"Psychologic responses are also powerful in facilitating memory formation. Trauma is effective at promoting 'one-time learning.' The survival benefits of this are clear. One will not put oneself in harm's way again. But this powerful memory system is also what makes the human brain vulnerable to post-traumatic stress disorder, in which an excessive trauma usurps this powerful memory system to produce chronic psychiatric symptoms," he explained.
"The value of fear is to permit rapid adaptive responses to transient threats. Terrorism acts to create a sense that the world is not safe and to make people chronically afraid. Terrorism is aimed at undercutting coping abilities," Carmona stated. "Terrorists exploit our negative response to uncontrolled situations. What we need to do in the wake of terrorist incidents is to develop coping strategies that will allow us as a nation to reassert control over circumstances."
Coping strategies of the Surgeon General's office include:
Carmona shared the following data on PTSD and suicide:

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Problems with an edge tool (LONG) (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/40693-problems-edge-tool-long.html)
Problems with an edge tool (LONG)
Recently I purchased my first edge tool. It is a popular multi-edge tool, and I had no problem with it on my side edges, however I did have a problem on my base edges. To start, I set the angle to 1 degree which I knew was my current base edge angle, and using a file I ran the tool VERY lightly over the edge. Immediately I noticed that ptex (base) material was being removed along with metal filings. This concerned me, and eventually I realized what was happening. It's much easier to show with diagrams. Looking at the image below (angles exaggerated for clarity), you can see that 0.25 in of file is exposed from the "guide" (the part of the tool that rests on the side edge), while the actual base edge is only 0.1 in.
As you try to lower the tool into place, your goal is to have 3 surfaces of contact between board and tool: they are higlighted in red below. The problem becomes apparent... when the file is aligned with the base edge, and the guide is aligned with the side edge, there is a huge gap between the base and the "base guide" (the long part of the tool which should rest flush on the base).
What REALLY happens though is shown below. Since the tool cannot find 3 surfaces of contact, it rotates slightly and finds 3 POINTS of contact. They are shown in red below.
Notice the file is ONLY contacting the vertex between the base and the base edge. This perfectly backs up my original observation of ptex being removed when I was attempting to file only my edge. If you file for long enough like this, you will remove both ptex and metal, the image below shows what material will be removed.
The image below shows the tool finally able to sit flush, and the side effect I've called "vertex shift."
At this stage you will have made your base edge 3 times as long, and it is now 2/3 ptex and 1/3 metal. Is this a big deal? I don't know the answer to that question... which is one reason I'm making this post. Opinions please! :-)
Below there is one solution I came up with while working on my base edge, but it is not perfect:
If you don't insert the file all the way, it cannot reach the ptex. However, the original problem still remains, which is that you start off at a 3-point contact situation (though your ptex is now saved by the "gap"). However the tool is not sitting flush... the red lines below show that angle.
If you file for long enough though, just with the earlier case which ended in vertex shift, the tool will eventually be able to sit flush. However, there is a new side effect:
The red above shows the material removed with this solution. I've called this side effect "edge step."
So, which one above is worse? I believe my board now has edge step since I used my "solution 1" method. I cannot see the edge step, since it happens at a SUPER small scale with only a 1 degree angle. And while it may seem silly to be analyzing such tiny pieces of geometry... isn't that the whole concept behind edge tuning? That very small geometry changes, to a very small piece of metal, will totally change the way your board rides? And don't we use tools to do this because it IS too small to see what's happening with your naked eye? I am really curious to hear people's input on this, and I'm totally expecting more than one response suggesting that I am making a big deal out of nothing. I've run this by some knowledgeable people already who keep telling me something is wrong with my images, but they won't specify what. If there is a real problem with my analysis, I am more than happy to hear it. Or if the images are correct, but everyone agrees that neither side effect I've described is a big deal, then I'm more than happy to hear that too. But... it was disturbing to take a brand new tool, to a brand new board, with very light pressure, and the correct angle set, and notice that more ptex was being removed than metal. That is what motivated this whole thing... and it is somewhat telling that the analysis perfectly backs it up, with the "3 point contact" putting the file right on the ptex/metal vertex.
Incidentally, there is a second solution which I cannot implement without designing a new tool:
If the guide could move, so that less file were exposed, all of the problems above would disappear. I have purposely left the name of my tool out so as not to throw any manufacturers under the rug, but if there are any tools out that have a feature like the one I show above, or in general don't have the shortcomings that mine has, I would love to hear about it!
Solution: buy a file and a cheap base file guide. You shouldn't have to take away base material to sharpen the edge unles too much edge has been filed away.
I would suggest buying a base edge file guide. I have an adjustable one that cost only $35. It has guide bead non-concentrically mounted on the base guide with notches. You rotate it to lift the guide at the appropriate angle.
Another problem you are going to encounter if you simply partially engage the file into the guide, in addition to creating the edge step, is you are going to form a non 90 degree angle. If angle formed by my base and side edge beevels must not be 90 degrees, I would always prefer it to be obtuse rather than acute and no more than 0.5 - 1 degree. The reasons are the edge will tend to chamfer off less quickly (requiring less sharpening) and since I personally detune to ride park features, the chamfer I intetionally induce is strong to blunt strikes against objects.
I'd also strongly recommend you set your base bevel, first. This is angle is critical because it's the one that really affects the ride. The side edge is only beveled to keep it as close to 90 (or slightly more) as possible to the base edge.
The other option you have is to shim the third contact point (on the base edge) with something. Perhaps you could use tape or something of that nature. If you are really into getting a good detailed tune out of your entire board, I'd really recommend picking up a good base and side edge file guide.
Thes ones I use are these:
Side edge: SwixSport.com : SwixProduct / File Holders Edger Pro, edge sharpener A bit pricy, but the best side edge tool I think you'll find. The bearings in the guide are smooth as butter.
Base Edge: Amazon.com: Base Bevel File Guide SKS Vario Adjustable All Angle: Sports & Outdoors You can clearly see that bronze "guide" bead as I describe above. This one I chose on a whim over the Swix ones and it works quite well.
I set a 1.5/1.5 base/side on my boards though I have ridden 2.0/2.0 and 1.5/2.0. I'd recommend starting with a 1.0/1.0 if the factory hasn't already set one.
I have an oooolld Gnu which I am going to convert into my rock/experimentation board within the next year or so. Once I do this, I'm going to see how the vertex shift affects the board's handling. Sorry, no answers here, but if there's a tool that answers the bell, I'd be most interested. If I find one I'll post it.
Tape your base if you're that paranoid.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what the bead does.
color or blacken the metal edges before filing them. Then when u have filed off material its easier to immediately see and monitor your prrogress. It helps limit overfiling.

When you suspect your dumpster is more popular than you.
My friend asked me if he could dive my dumpster. Because I live in a student building where affluent students discard lots of swag, I've gotten quite a few requests. I have a lot of dumpster-diving friends, and a bad case of dumpster-envy.

Last week, my husband was gone on a business trip. It was supposed to be an easy few days with the kids - nothing really on the docket except a few spray paint projects I have been waiting for nice weather to work on. My kids are relatively easy and big helpers, and they still nap, so I expected the time to be mellow, especially since my daughter is coming off of (yet another round of) croup.
Saturday, the mercury rose high enough to break out the spray paint! I call it project season - and my trigger finger has been itchy all winter. I had purchased some pretty silver spray paint for some candle holders and got them all set, then I went to work on my other project, kind of a doozy. The kids were playing outside the whole time with me - thankful to be getting some fresh air and outdoor exercise. At one point, I saw the silver spray paint can roll under the left back tire of my van, and I thought to myself, "I should get that so I don't back over it next time I leave."
I got distracted.
A couple hours later, I had cleaned up my mess - even going outside to make sure there were no toys or random things in the driveway that I would hit - and I loaded up the kids to run a quick errand.
Before I go on, I should explain something. We moved into this house last July. Before anyone could set foot in the garage, Reza went to the hardware store and bought a CSU green colored epoxy kit for the garage floor. (He is a die-hard Ram fan. Anyone that knows him will not be surprised at his garage-floor-color choice.) He spent the greater part of a day prepping and epoxy-ing the garage floor to his satisfaction so that it would be easy to clean. He even had a plumber install hot and cold water spigots IN THE GARAGE so the dedicated hose in there could easily be used to wash off the garage floor.
He has been VERY INVESTED in the garage floor.
So....this past Saturday night, when I loaded up the kids, turned on their music and put the car in reverse, my stomach sank when I heard the sound of the pressurized silver spray paint can fizzing paint everywhere under my back tire.
I pulled forward again, jumped out and threw the can into a box to finish spraying in there. But.....the damage was done. Paint all over my tire and THE GARAGE FLOOR. In retrospect, I should have waited for it to dry before I backed out to run my errand, but I didn't. I made it worse: I got back in the car, and went to run the errand: creating pretty, shimmery silver tire tracks on our driveway.
I used a lifeline and phoned a friend, who talked me down from the ledge for the umpteenth time this pregnancy. Her husband got on Google and we hatched a plan to clean it up with a power washer and some other help the next day. (Shout out to Lance and TR!)
For those of us with spouses that travel occasionally (or a lot!) we learn to minimize the amount of drama that actually occurs on a daily basis. "We're great!" we say on the phone, as the spray paint is exploding in the garage and the children have dyed the dog's hair blue. "All is well here! Have a good rest of your trip!" Because really, what are they going to do from where they are? I seriously considered not telling Reza what had happened.
Then I remembered The Informer. She is 4-and-a-half and lives in a pink bedroom upstairs. I knew that if I didn't tell him, SHE WOULD. So, when Reza called to check in after we got home and Olivia was asking to talk to her daddy, I knew I had to get to him first, so I told him: "I ran over a can of spray paint and it exploded in the garage!" From behind me, The Informer said, "HEY! That's what I was gonna say!!!" (I really think the other parents in our neighborhood will be able to use Olivia as a spy on their own children as they all get older. For a fee, of course.)
When the sun rose on Sunday, I was able to see that it wasn't quite as bad as I'd thought it was in the dark on Saturday night. There's no paint on the exterior of the van, though the tire and undercarriage are as sparkly as anything you've ever seen. The paint just got on the ONE tire, so the tire track on the driveway was singular. The help I recruited on Sunday was able to get the tire track off the driveway for the reasonable price of pizza and cookies, and it wound up being a really fun day. Tons of kids and people outside to see what was going on - neighbors visiting with neighbors - one of the neighbor kids even cleaned up the dog messes in our backyard for $5 so nobody would go home with poo on their shoe.
The garage floor, however, is still a pool of silvery shimmers and splatters. Reza said there's some sort of acid wash he has to put on the epoxy and that he would take care of it later. I told him I was just helping him paint the garage! It's pretty!! It's silver sparkles!
Not quite what he had in mind, I guess.
Good thing this was his last trip before the baby comes. Who knows what kind of trouble I will find myself in between now and then?!

CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin vowed to put "West Virginia first" while protecting the coal industry and advancing education reform during his inaugural address Monday on the state capitol's south portico steps.
The 60-year-old Logan County Democrat took the oath of office for his only full four-year term from West Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice Brent D. Benjamin during a nearly two-hour long ceremony attended by both houses of the state Legislature and about 250 onlookers.
In the nearly 20-minute speech, Tomblin rattled off a litany of his accomplishments, including fixing the state's ailing pension system and reforming and stabilizing the workers compensation system, before turning attention to his key initiatives and the future of the Mountain State.

Ogden Newspapers photo by Anthony Gaynor
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin — accompanied by his wife, Joanne, and son, Brent — walks to the podium to take the oath of office as West Virginia's 35th governor on Monday on the steps of the Capitol in Charleston.
"During my years in public service, I've worked hard to create a brighter future for West Virginia, and I've approached every decision, every challenge and every opportunity with one goal - and that is putting West Virginia first," Tomblin said.
"Our journey to transform this state began over 25 years ago. The road we have traveled has not always been easy. But, we have done it the right way - working together with business, labor, Republican and Democrat to solve our problems."
Tomblin, the longest-serving Senate president in state history, directed his strongest comments of the day at education reform.
"Since 1989, we have spent over $1.7 billion to construct 132 news schools. In just the past two years, we've dedicated a total of more than $165 million to school improvements and construction projects taking place in all 55 counties," Tomblin said.
"Now, make no mistake, I remain concerned about our future. All of our hard work will be for nothing if jobs are not available and if our children are not prepared to thrive and be productive citizens in our workforce."
"We have hard-working teachers. Per capita, our education funding ranks among the nation's best. But on our most important metric - student achievement - we're falling behind. It doesn't need to be this way, and it must stop."
Tomblin said that future success lies in the preparation of not only each and every student, but in the programs and institutions that drive the education system.
"The key to our success lies in making sure our children are prepared and ready to have a successful career in the 21st century economy," Tomblin said. "That means focusing to ensure our youngest get started on the right track, with meaningful programs designed to make sure that, by third grade, children have the key building blocks for a lifetime of learning. That means making sure vocational training programs are responsive to the needs of today's economy. That means making sure our institutions of higher learning have programs designed to prepare our teachers to teach in today's world."
Tomblin cited guaranteed and increased instructional time, school systems having the ability and leeway to be more innovative and increased parental involvement as keys to success.
The governor also addressed increased economic growth in light of the recent downturn in the economy. He touted the elimination of the state's food tax - beginning July 1 - which will put "money back in the pockets of hard-working West Virginians."
"We've cut taxes for our businesses, too," Tomblin said. "The Mountain State has not seen a general tax increase in the past 20 years. We are eliminating our business franchise tax, and we continue to cut our corporate net income tax."
"Because our financial house is in order we can start looking toward the future," Tomblin added. "We have created thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in new investments in the past two years."
Other top West Virginia officials taking the oath of office Monday included Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, State Auditor Glen B. Gainer III, State Treasurer John D. Purdue and West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Justices Robin Davis and Allen Laughry II.
In addition, Patrick Morrisey, who unseated longtime Attorney General Darrell McGraw in November, took the oath, as well as Walt Helmick, who takes over at the Agriculture Department for Gus R. Douglass. Douglass, who served in that post for 44 years, was the longest serving commissioner of agriculture in the country's history.
Several members of the state's U.S. Congressional delegation attended the inauguration, including U.S. Reps. Shelley Moore Capito, Nick Joe Rahall II and David McKinley. U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller and former governors Gaston Caperton and Bob Wise also attended.
"Gov. Tomblin has always served the people of West Virginia with strong leadership and a steady hand," said Rockefeller, who announced his decision to not seek another term in the U.S. Senate last week. "As governor, he has been squarely focused on moving our state forward. A strong ambassador for West Virginia, he has worked to bring new, good-paying jobs home. That work has produced results with the Macy's facility in the Eastern Panhandle, Gestamp in South Charleston and expansions at companies across our state."
Tomblin won't be resting on his laurels as state officials strive to continue to build upon the Mountain State's fiscal soundness when the Legislative session opens Feb. 13.
"The solid foundation we have built for our state has given us the opportunity to reach even greater heights in the four years ahead. But I need your help," Tomblin said. "Let us move forward this day united. I'm committed to working with the legislature to make major improvements for our businesses, our schools and our communities."
"We made real changes - and we have made them by working together, by reaching across the street, across the state and across party lines. We've put our families and our communities first. And, I can tell you one thing - we will continue putting them first for the next four years."

Serves 8 |
Prep Time 30 minutes |
Cook Time 45 minutes
1 cup Eden Oat Flakesor any Eden Whole Grain Flakes
1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp Eden Sea Salt
1/4 cup Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp orange zest (grated peel)
1/3 cup Eden Apple Juice
Pudding Filling
32 ounces Edensoy Chocolate, 1 quart
1/4 cup Eden Kuzu Root Starch, dissolved in 5 T. cold water
1 Tbsp organic maple syrup, or to taste, optional
Preheat the oven to 350°. Dry roast the oats for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly browned and they release a nutty aroma. Next, dry roast the flour for 2 to 3 minutes. Combine all dry ingredients. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients together to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough and place the crust in a 8 inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and trim the crust. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent buckling of the crust while baking. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly browned, being careful not to burn it. Remove the crust.
To prepare the pudding filling, place the Chocolate Edensoy and maple syrup in a medium saucepan, do not cover. Bring almost to a boil over a medium-high flame. Turn the flame to low. Slowly add the dissolved kuzu, stirring constantly until thick, to prevent lumping. When thick, pour the pudding filling into the pre-baked pie shell. Smooth the pudding evenly in the pie shell. Refrigerate until chilled before slicing.

I tried your code in ECC 6.0 system and the method GET_SCREENSHOT doe snot exist in this class.
Which version you are using ?
I'm using Netweaver 7.2 This is something that came with EHP2.
I've replaced this get_screenshot with below code and it's working fine, so maybe this function is returning data in some strange format?
CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp EXPORTING p_object = 'GRAPHICS' p_name = 'ENJOY' p_id = 'BMAP' p_btype = 'BMON' RECEIVING p_bmp = lv_data EXCEPTIONS not_found = 1 OTHERS = 2.

Hi Marcin,
I don't use 7.02, but could you paste the mime type and, say, the first 50 bytes in hexadecimal of the stream data, so that to try to identify it?
Hi Sandra,
Sure, mime is image/png and first 50B is
I've stored these data in file and they look ok - I can see screen shoot from my SE38.
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk
Thanks Marcin,
Okay. In fact, the Picture control can only display BMP, GIF, JPG. You can display it correctly using the HTML viewer (see for example demo program RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER)
Hi Sandra,
I saw it somewhere, but I guess I was too cleaver and was hoping that maybe somehow it will work After your sugestion I've changed and instead of picture I've used html like below and now it works. Thank you very much for your help.
CALL METHOD LO_HTML->LOAD_DATA EXPORTING TYPE = 'image' SUBTYPE = 'png' IMPORTING ASSIGNED_URL = graphic_url CHANGING DATA_TABLE = graphic_table."graphic_table. CALL METHOD LO_HTML->SHOW_URL EXPORTING URL = graphic_url.

Hi Marcin,
Thank you for the feedback. By the way, could you tell us more about what does GET_SCREENSHOT? (I guess what it does, but it is surprising that you execute it from inside the PBO, why not the PAI, or was it just not important in your scenario?)
Hi Sandra,
As name suggest it's doing a screenshot of what is curently visible in presentation layer (active window).
Why I do it in AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT? Because I wanted to test it without creation of new screen in screen painter - it's quicker that way and possible to paste whole solution here without additional marks regarding created screen.
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk
Hi Sandra,Marcin,
I want also to use this new method.
Do you know if image type can be customized, because i want to use jgp instead of png or do you know some function for easy conversion ?
Hi Roland, you may use IGS (install it if not there). Class CL_IGS_IMAGE_CONVERTER allows to convert. There is SAP library about IGS. And forum for other questions.
Thanks a lot for the info.
Method GET_SUPPORT works really well.
I use it in combination with method CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER=>SHOW_URL_IN_BROWSER to display in IE and
method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download for saving a into file.
Idea is to use this in a next step as attachment in mail to key user or ASM guys in case of problems.
This will help incident solver because screenshot can give detailed information about user problem.
Please let me have my first points here if helpful.
Edited by: Roland Wenzel on May 3, 2011 4:26 PM
In which Class does the method Get_Support exist?
Best regards,
Hallo Mr. Marcin,
As you said, the Get_Screenshot method is doing a screenshot of what is present in the active window, but the method get_bds_graphic_as_bmp is actually loading a graphic from the Server and not the one present in the current window right?
I am workingon ECC 6.0 and hence dont have the method Get_Screenshot...Any clue on how to get the Screenshot of the current window?
Best regards,

Daniel Lucas Colondres was found guilty of the attempted murder of Taylor George and attempted voluntary manslaughter of Shanti Reynolds in Nevada County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Colondres, who was 25 at the time of the crime, had been stalking Reynolds for a period of time before he broke into her residence in the 14000 block of Lake Wildwood Drive in the gated Lake Wildwood community west of Grass Valley on Aug. 20, 2011.
He slashed Reynolds and her boyfriend, Taylor George, with a knife before a neighbor drove him off by hitting him with a golf club.
The night of Aug. 19, Reynolds testified that she was at home and asleep in bed with her boyfriend.
She said she woke up around 1 a.m. when her Dachshund ran across the bed.
"I saw a shadow leaning over Taylor (George)," Reynolds said, telling the jury that she was "sure" the masked man was Colondres.
"He had a knife in his hand," she said. "It was raised over his head."
Reynolds said she tried to push Colondres away and he punched George in the head about eight times.
"I started screaming, and pushed him, and he pushed me," she said.
"He said we were all going to die tonight."
Reynolds said she and George both tried to hold the serrated steak knife away. She sustained knife wounds to her hand, knee and ankle, and said she did not know how those were sustained.
"I started screaming really loud," Reynolds said. "I didn't have any weapons … the only thing I could do was scream."
Pam and Jeff Love, who live next door, did hear her screams and ran to help, she said.
Reynolds testified that she saw Jeff Love hit Colondres twice in the head with a golf club before the assailant fled.
