Is Your Subcontractor Really an Employee?
You may be an employer with requirements — and not know it!
Not understanding your requirements can leave your business vulnerable to unwanted penalties and even lawsuits.
|Safety Note:
Did you know?
|If it's your job site, you are responsible for the on-site safety of all employees, whether they work for you, your contractor, a subcontractor or someone else. Go to Steps to a Safe Workplace.
In some cases, a self-proclaimed "independent contractor" is actually a worker for whom you must:
- Pay workers' compensation.
- Meet wage and hour requirements.
- Pay unemployment tax.
- Always keep a safe workplace.
To help protect you and your business, we've created this quick and easy questionnaire to help you determine if your contractor is really an employee:
Ask yourself just three questions — It's as easy as 1-2-3!
Start Here: Are you hiring someone for more than personal labor?

Uterine fibroids are common tumors that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure symptoms, and reproductive disorders. The incidence of fibroids peaks in the fifth decade of age and they are more common in African American women. Often, fibroids are asymptomatic and require no treatment. However, the case of Ms P, a 41-year-old woman with recurrent uterine fibroids, menorrhagia, anemia, and fatigue who wishes to retain fertility, illustrates the symptoms that require treatment. Evaluation usually begins with a pelvic examination and an ultrasound to determine both the size and location of the fibroids within the uterus. Standard treatment of symptomatic fibroids is surgical removal by myomectomy or hysterectomy, depending in part on the desire for future fertility; new treatment options include uterine artery embolization via interventional radiologic techniques as well as various medical interventions. Several new therapies show promise but are still experimental at this time. The evidence for treatment options for Ms P and symptomatic patients with fibroids in general is discussed.
A, Abdominal ultrasound shows large fibroids distorting the shape of the uterus. B, Illustration of anatomical structures in view. (See also interactive eFigure.)
Abnormal uterine bleeding is influenced by the size and location of fibroids. Larger fibroids and fibroids located in or near the endometrial cavity tend to cause more bleeding symptoms and reproductive disorders. In a representative tissue sample, a fascicular pattern of smooth muscle bundles can be seen, separated by vascularized connective tissue. Individual smooth muscle cells are elongated with eosinophilic cytoplasm, distinct cell membranes, and uniform "boxcar-shaped" nuclei. Mitoses, in this case and in most fibroids, are extremely rare and, if present, raise the possibility of leiomyosarcoma, a malignant tumor of smooth muscle origin.
A, During UAE, a catheter is introduced along a guide wire into the femoral artery and advanced through the external iliac artery into the common iliac artery. The catheter is then guided into the internal iliac artery and then into the uterine artery. Microspheres injected through the catheter embolize the distal branches of the uterine artery that supply the fibroid and block perfusion, causing necrosis and shrinkage of the fibroid. B, Angiogram prior to UAE shows the blood supply of a large fibroid. After embolization of the uterine artery, absence of contrast in the distal branches confirms occlusion.

Nov. 8, 1928 – March 14, 2013
Anthony T. Rozek Sr. of Buffalo, a Korean War veteran and pioneer in local girls ice hockey, died Thursday in Elderwood Health Care at Linwood after a brief illness. He was 84.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Rozek, who was known as "Tony," grew up in Buffalo's historic Polonia District and attended St. Stanislaus School. He went on to work as a machinist for Bethlehem Steel in Lackawanna.
Mr. Rozek remained an active member of the "St. Stan's" Parish his whole life. After serving there as an altar boy, he went on to serve on the Parish Council and then its Usher and Holy Name Society. He was a lector and also assisted the Legion of Mary, Catholic Charities, the Catholic Youth Organization and other clubs in the Buffalo area.
Mr. Rozek's dedication and service to the church earned him the St. Joseph the Worker award in 2011.
He married the former Jane G. Blaszak at St. Stanislaus Church on Oct. 10, 1953, the place where, 50 years later, the couple renewed their wedding vows and then celebrated in the nearby Monsignor Adamski Social Center.
A veteran of the Korean War, Mr. Rozek was also involved with the Catholic War Veterans, Knights of Columbus: Father Justin Council and was the commander of Adam Plewacki Post 799.
Known as one of the pioneers of girls ice hockey in Western New York, Mr. Rozek in the early 1970s started serving as an ambassador for the game, traveling throughout the United States and Canada as he attempted to build the girls' programs and encourage them to play. He served in various capacities locally, including in Clarence, Amherst, Buffalo, Depew and Cheektowaga.
Mr. Rozek was most notably the manager of the Clarence Fighting Saints, the Buffalo Hornets, the Depew Saints and the Cheektowaga girls hockey teams, where he was part of numerous state and national championship teams.
He was known in girls hockey circles as the "Candy Man" and "always made everyone feel special – old and young – with bags of candy, popcorn, peanuts or little trinkets," family members said.
Mr. Rozek also is credited with continuing the Niagara District Girls' Hockey League into the 1990s.
He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed hockey, baseball, basketball, card playing and billiards. He was on a state champion basketball team in 1949 and also won trophies in billiards, cards and baseball, family members said.
Besides his wife of 59 years, Mr. Rozek is survived by three daughters, Diane Jarmusz, Katherine Ignasiak and Janice Cavaretta; and a son, Anthony T. III.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. Tuesday from St. Stanislaus Bishop & Martyr Church, 123 Townsend St. Prayers will precede the Mass at 9:15 a.m. from the Kazmierczak Funeral Home, 3640 Clinton St., West Seneca.

Opportunities and challenges for African agribusiness and agro-industries are the focus of a new book published by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in 2011.
"Agribusiness for Africa's Prosperity" outlines the current status of agribusiness and agro-industrial activities in Africa, and situates them in historical and global context. It analyses the opportunities for diversified growth, and assesses the existing and potential sources of demand growth for agribusiness development on the continent.
Watch a video with Director-General Kandeh K. Yumkella speaking about the new book:
In recent years, a renewed focus on agriculture has been evident in policy and development agendas for the African continent, yet little knowledge has been generated on the inter-linkages of production, agro-industry and markets, as well as the potential and capacities for developing them.
Edited by Kandeh K. Yumkella, Patrick M. Kormawa, Torben M. Roepstorff and Anthony M. Hawkins and with contributions from a wide range of international experts, the book fills what UNIDO perceived as a significant gap in knowledge concerning these issues.
It was conceived as a resource for policymakers, agribusiness managers, and researchers in agribusiness development.
The book is available in English and French and can be downloaded here

Breast Cancer ScreeningSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
The type and frequency of breast cancer screening that is best for you changes as you age.
- Ages 20 to 39: Some experts recommend that women have a clinical breast exam every 3 years, starting at age 20. Talk with your doctor about how often you should have a breast exam. If you have a high risk for developing breast cancer, talk to your doctor about when to begin having routine mammograms and other screening tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Ages 40 and
older: It is important for you to discuss with your doctor the medical evidence about mammograms before you decide when to start having mammograms and how often to have them. For woman at average risk:
- The American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that most women begin screening at age 40 and then have a mammogram every year.
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that most women begin screening at age 50, and then have a mammogram every 2 years until age 74.
- The risk of breast cancer increases with age, and the age at which testing no longer helps reduce death from breast cancer is not known. If you are 75 or older, talk to your doctor about mammography as a regular part of your health care plan.
You can find out your personal risk level at www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool.
Early detection is an important factor in the success of breast cancer treatment. The earlier breast cancer is found, the more easily and successfully it can be treated. The two methods commonly used for early detection are:
- Mammogram. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that can often find tumors that are too small for you or your doctor to feel.
- Clinical breast exam (CBE). During a clinical breast exam, your doctor will carefully feel your breasts and under your arms to check for lumps or other unusual changes. Talk to your doctor about whether to have a clinical breast exam.
Make sure you know what your breasts normally look and feel like. When you know what is normal for you, you are better able to notice changes. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any changes in your breasts.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast may be used as a screening test for women who have a high risk of breast cancer. This includes women who test positive for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, or have two or more close family members who have had breast cancer before age 50. MRI may also be useful for women who have breast implants or for women whose breast tissue is very dense.
For more information, see the topic Breast Cancer.

Medical examiners' spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said there was no timetable for the autopsy to be finished. She declined to discuss the pending tests, but toxicology and tissue tests are typically done in such cases, according to the Associated Press. Police, meanwhile, have been investigating it as a suspected drug overdose and arrested four people with possible connection to Hoffman's death Tuesday night.
Hoffman was found dead in his West Village apartment Sunday morning. He was 46.
A police source told PEOPLE that the actor, who battled drug addiction throughout his life, was found with a syringe in his arm. Hoffman last sought treatment in May, when he entered rehab for heroin after staying clean for 23 years.
The father of three was in the midst of filming the first installment of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay at the time of his death. Just weeks ago, two of his movies, A Most Wanted Man and God's Pocket, premiered at Sundance.
Hollywood, meanwhile, mourned Hoffman's passing with praise-laden tributes, and the marquees of New York's Broadway theatres will be dimmed for one minute on Feb. 5 at 7:45 p.m. in his honor.
"This is a horrible day for those who worked with Philip," said Tom Hanks, who worked with Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War. "Our hearts are open for his family."
For anyone wishing to celebrate or honor the great Philip Hoffman's life and work, this is a nice way to do it: http://t.co/zklE0oTLwm— Edward Norton (@EdwardNorton) February 3, 2014

Liberals/ConservativesPosted Friday, August 24, 2012, at 10:01 AM
We apply labels to ourselves and others apply labels to us as well. I label myself a conservative and I am a Catholic. I am also a gymrat and a runner. However, I am not always those things 100% all the time. There are attributes of all those that I am and others I question.
Some of my extended family is Conservative and some are Liberal. My Aunt once said to me, "I'm a Democrat because my daddy was a Democrat." I respectfully said to her that the Democrats of Grandpa's time are not the Democrats of today.
One of my liberal cousins posted the following to her FB page:
When John F. Kennedy accepted the New York Liberal Party's endorsement of his Presidential Candidacy on September 20, 1960, he said the following:
What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."
John F. Kennedy
As a conservative I believe in those ideals too. Why is it that Liberals think we don't care about the welfare of the people? I think we just feel that the solutions should be more centered on empowering those people rather than enabling them. What do you think about the differences? Are our beliefs really that different? Am I way off? Please be considerate in your responses.

My grandfather was reportedly some big deal in South Dakota Republicanism. Whatever Rep. Stephanie Herseth's grandfather was to the Democrats, my grandfather was to the Republicans. Grandpa was a huge fan of Eisenhower, Nixon for his first term, and Ronald Reagan.
He was born during Teddy Roosevelt's administration, a first generation American and the first in his home, along with his older sister, to learn to speak English. His father was building a homestead act, but they lost it when he died at age 36. He felt welfare should be there for those who really need it (he was raised with his four siblings by his widowed mother, and they had to move in with his uncle and their five children, and work on the farm -- he got to go to school to tenth grade only because he had an injury). He felt less regulation on companies would mean more jobs for workers who needed it.
When he ran the town grocery store during the Depression and WWII, he allowed people to have extensions on their food tabs, even when it meant his family (wife, son [my father] and three daughters) had oatmeal or eggs with toast for dinner sometimes. He could have charged food himself at his own store, of course, but he was determined to keep a balanced budget so the community was not left without a store entirely while people would go without if he didn't extend some help. No, I don't think people bought themselves steak, candy or Coke on his generosity, or felt entitled to it, and maybe that's why it used to work in the past for neighbors to simply give a helping hand to their neighbors.
I think on immigration, he would feel immigrants who tried to go through legal channels should be given a hand up to provide for themselves, as his family was given. I've long thought this too -- for immigrants, welfare recipients, or whomever -- what if they had a chance to make it like the Homestead Act. That's what built the middle class in the Midwest.

I have been married to Randy for 22 years and we have six children. I received my degree in Criminal Justice from Eastern Wyoming College and as a mother of six and a daycare mom, I have used probable cause, reasonable doubt, search and seizure, Miranda rights, submission, arrest and interrogation technique as a part of my daily life. I can also shoot a .357 magnum with deadly accuracy. I have lots of opinions on lots of things. I am not an expert on anything but I read a lot and will gladly share that information if I find it accurate. I have a sarcastic nature and for the most part I have pretty thick skin and most things don't bother me for long. I don't like mudslinging or name calling so keep negativity of the personal nature to yourself. Enjoy and welcome to my opinion.

IS CONSERVATIVE THE new radical? The fashion world certainly seems to think so. This season, designers filled their runways with restrained silhouettes that echo the graceful, showing-less-is-more aesthetic of generations past.
Designers are reimagining soignée staples for spring and summer—skirt suits, twin sets, below-the-knee dresses, kitten heels and frame bags—that appear anything but moth-eaten. In fact, fashion's neoconservative coup d'état feels deliciously defiant, given the excessively revealing styles pop culture celebrates. A quick flip through any supermarket tabloid yields an onslaught of oversexed stars and their indelicate fashion choices, which prompted a strict dress code for this year's Grammy Awards. When you factor in over-the-top street style and the all-round oversharing that has become pervasive, the reeled-in restraint of a bygone era looks more and more like a cool, quiet revolution.
This dignified uprising can be spotted on many of today's most influential style setters—British fashion icon Alexa Chung, Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova and Moda Operandi co-founder Lauren Santo Domingo, to name a few.
"A young girl now doesn't want to dress like her mother; she finds her grandmother much cooler," said Nina Ricci creative director Peter Copping, who designed skirt suits inspired by his own nana. "She wore little smart, tweedy suits. I always had a romantic notion of that." But the designer, who modernized his separates by cutting them in a light-as-air bouclé woven onto organza, also drew inspiration from a much younger source. "Someone told me a story about the [22-year-old] model Eliza Cummings and how when she got her first big money job she went straight out and bought a Chanel suit," said Mr. Copping. "I thought, 'Wow, that's really clued up!' "
In his spring collection, Bottega Veneta designer Tomas Maier, who has long imprinted the brand with a classic femininity, crafted sheer cardigans, calf-grazing dresses and a coat in the sort of rose print one might find on the walls of a '50s-era powder room. "I never liked the obvious definition of 'sexy,' " said Mr. Maier. "I actually don't even like the word. I prefer a woman to be sensuous and in charge—definitely in charge of what she's wearing."
Twenty-six-year-old designer Wes Gordon agreed. "In serious times, you need serious chic. Anything cute feels bad right now. A grown-up, covered-up silhouette is the anti-cute," said Mr. Gordon, whose signature long-sleeve gowns and full skirts have been worn by bright young things such as Jessica Biel and Rita Ora. His spring collection had a red skirt suit worthy of Nancy Reagan. Among Mr. Gordon's inspirations: a book of Valentino Garavani's designs from the '70s (the house's current designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, are also huge proponents of the conservative-but-cool look) and Greta Garbo. "But late Garbo, when she was running around New York City with a popped collar, hiding from people," he said. "It's good to be a little mysterious in the overcrowded, overexposed world we live in now."
'What feels new is being a bit quieter and more discerning.'
Even London's resident bad boy Christopher Kane is of a similar mind. "Ladylike is the ultimate sexiness," said the designer. "It's clean, elegant and in control. The famous saying, 'It's the quiet ones you need to watch,' definitely applies to this style."
Although the movement centers on mature silhouettes, it's the accessories that carry it over into phenomenon territory. From the delicate stampede of pointy kitten heels and sensible block-heeled sandals to the flood of frame bags and collar-grazing necklaces, little touches are capable of creating big changes in attitude.
"There is a shift in sensibility happening now—shoppers are moving away from conspicuous It-bags, the vertiginous platform heel and gaudy in-your-face jewels," said Kate Davidson Hudson, co-founder of the newly launched accessories shopping site Editorialist. "What feels new is being a bit quieter and more discerning—having your subtle gold studs, cat-eye glasses, proper box bag and most importantly, the mid-heel shoe."
Indeed, low-riding heels—from Louis Vuitton's Magic Square pumps to Miu Miu's squat, crystal-encrusted patent-leather numbers—have been star sellers for spring. There has also been an attendant uptick in popularity for the shoe brands that your grandmother and great-grandmother loved. Roger Vivier, the brand known for its low, pilgrim-buckle pump made famous by Catherine Deneuve in "Belle de Jour," seems more popular than ever, both for its shoes and the book on its 75-plus-year history released last month with publisher Rizzoli. Ferragamo, another perennial ladies-who-lunch favorite, is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Vara, its sweetly iconic gold bow-topped shoe, with a new campaign featuring of-the-moment women such as Ms. Santo Domingo and Chiara Clemente wearing the classic, dainty-heeled slippers. As of this month, they can be customized to one's liking on the brand's website with a choice of color combinations and materials, and the option to monogram the soles.
One longtime Ferragamo Vara fan is Ms. Chung. "I think one of the first times I was photographed, I literally sneaked into a Topshop [fashion] show and I was wearing a cardigan, some white tights and Ferragamo heels," recalled Ms. Chung, host of the music TV show Fuse News on the Fuse channel, and author of "It," a book on her personal style and inspirations (out from Penguin in late October).
She's also emblematic of a certain brand of young-fogy dressing that has become popular with the next generation of taste-makers, including 27-year-old sister-designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whose discreetly polished and structured bag designs for their label The Row have become industry favorites.
The Granny Pack
Some of today's most-admired style-setters are models of restraint
The youthful duo's austere clothes have also become the ne plus ultra for tasteful, urbane women of all vintages. For spring, the designers showed ankle-grazing silk skirts and belted jackets in classic shades that looked simultaneously old-school and modern.
Earlier this week, one of the biggest events on the fashion calendar took place. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute ball celebrated the opening of the exhibit "PUNK: Chaos to Couture." The annual gala has long been considered the sartorial event of the year, and the choice of punk as this year's theme feels particularly poignant. With its shredded T-shirts, creative facial piercings and mohawks, the riotous aesthetic, which peaked in the late '70s and early '80s, couldn't be further from the clean and sober silhouettes surrounding us now, but the motivations behind the two share some DNA.
Fresh from a fitting for the dress she'd wear to the ball (a Victorian-inspired, high-necked, black velvet lace number with sheer panels, from Canadian designer Erdem Moralioglu), Ms. Chung meditated on her demure choice. "It's quite conservative, but this is, to me, more punk," she said. "More people will be showing up in skin-tight, see-through garments, so I feel like I'm rebelling."

Man killed in crash following shoplifting incident in Harborcreek
An attempt to stop a suspected shoplifter set off a chase that turned deadly on Monday afternoon, when a man fleeing from state police crashed his car in Harborcreek Township.
The victim, whose identity had not been confirmed Monday night, is believed to be a 31-year-old Chautauqua County, N.Y., resident, state police spokesman Sgt. Mark Zaleski said. He was killed when the Nissan Sentra he was driving at a high rate of speed went out of control and hit a tree in the 6400 block of Firman Road. The man was thrown from the car and landed on a parked car, Zaleski said.
An autopsy on the man will be performed today, Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook said Monday night.
The incident that led to the crash happened at about 2:30 p.m. Monday, when state police were notified of a retail theft that had occurred at the Harborcreek Walmart, 5741 Buffalo Road, Zaleski said. The man had reportedly stolen DVDs and fled from store security, he said.
An off-duty state police trooper who had witnessed the confrontation between the man and store security approached the man as the man walked toward the nearby Harborcreek Township Building. The off-duty trooper told the man that he had to go back and talk to store officials, but the man didn't respond and instead went to his car, which was parked in the Walmart lot, and drove off toward Depot Road at a high rate of speed, Zaleski said.
State police troopers who responded to the shoplifting call began pursuing the man as he turned onto Firman Road from Depot Road. The troopers started backing off the pursuit because they were uncomfortable with the speed they were traveling. Within seconds, the man lost control of his car and crashed into the tree, Zaleski said.

Duh, I am a complete idiot.
Sorry, in hindsight and with the astute comments from blue and emdee, I see that my previous post was an utterly ridiculous leap.
My mind was boggled by the pages and pages of documents that Ge showed. And I do sympathize with Ge that he always seems to be in limbo until the last minute before a competition that is on the verge of starting -- awaiting permission to attend. His mention of "2 a.m." also somehow put it into my little head that the situation was of extreme urgency.
But ... I should have noticed that an earlier tweet from Ge said that he is waiting for Tokyo to decide about his Japanese visa.
So as emdee notes, the likely scenario is that he is trying to square things away now in preparation for Four Continents and Worlds.
Apologies that my brain was not working ...

Authorities have identified two people who were killed in a crash in the New Hampshire town of Alton.
A car and a pickup truck collided head-on near the Wolfeboro town line on Tuesday.
Police said 50-year-old Ferenc Nagy, of Gilmanton, was driving a pickup truck south on Route 28. It collided with a northbound car driven by 54-year-old Mary Lovasco, of Mirror Lake.
Two dogs traveling with Lovasco were also killed.
Police Chief Ryan Heath told Foster's Daily Democrat that both drivers had been traveling the 55 mph speed limit. He said there were no signs of braking by either driver. Alcohol and drugs did not appear to be factors. Autopsies were being conducted.

PATTON - Cambria Heights broke out to an eye-opening 32-0 lead in its Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference dual meet with visiting Central Cambria Tuesday night.
The Highlanders swept the first six bouts, logging four falls and two major decisions along the way, en route to a 53-24 victory at the Cambria Heights High School gymnasium.
Among those who were most awed by his team's burst out of the tunnel was Heights coach Mike Eckenrode himself.

Cambria Heights' Levi Niebauer picked up a major decision over Central Cambria's Gabe Seymour, winning 10-2. Heights swept the first six bouts of the match.
"Falls make a big difference in a match,'' Eckenrode said after watching Heights improve to 6-2. "[Central Cambria has] some tough kids. We wrestled a nice match. We started out a lot better than I thought we were going to.''
Senior Mike Zabinski got the ball rolling for Heights with a 10-1 major decision over Kevin Bednar at 138, breaking open a 2-1 match with eight third-period points on a reversal and three 3-point near-fall sequences. Freshman Austin Gill followed with a victory by fall over Tyler Karlinsey with just four seconds remaining in the second period, and Levi Niebauer rapped out a 10-2 major over Gabe Seymour in a battle of sophomores at 152 to give Heights a 14-0 lead.
Neibauer (9-3 this season) had four takedowns in the win, including three in the third period.
"Getting takedowns on my feet pretty much won the match for me,'' Neibauer said.
Another Heights sophomore, Dalton Waksmunski, needed only 46 seconds to pin Luke Kozorosky at 160, and senior Travis Yahner shook off a 5-0 first-period deficit against Devyn Bowser to reverse Bowser and pin him with two seconds remaining in the period. Senior Tyler Crawford (8-0) completed Heights' surge by pinning Calvin Crow in 28 seconds at 182.
"Zabinski had a good win to start the match, and any time somebody can get off their back and get a pin, like Yahner did, it's huge,'' Eckenrode said. "Dalton Waksmunski did a real nice job in his match. This was a total team effort.''
Central Cambria (5-10) didn't come out with its game face on Tuesday, said Red Devils coach Bob Nikolishen.
"This wasn't a good night for our team,'' Nikolishen said. "We're sore, we're tired, and we needed a rest. But coming up here to Cambria Heights and figuring that this was a place where we could get that rest is not a good choice.
"I don't think we had our motor in the water,'' Nikolishen added. "From the get-go tonight, we were totally unprepared for the pace Cambria Heights was setting.''
The Highlanders' other victories in the contested bouts were senior Dominic Novella's 41-second win by fall over Jordan O'Farrell at 220, sophomore Mike Dautlick's 2:38 win by fall over Corey Lazration at 113, and junior Joe Davis' 7-1 decision over Steve Pennington to end the match at 132. Davis improved to 10-2. Heights junior Aaron Gill (11-1) took a forfeit win at 285.
"I thought Novella did a real nice job at 220, and Mike Dautlick, who is only in his second year of wrestling, has been coming on strong,'' Eckenrode said.
Bright spots for Central Cambria were provided by talented freshman Ian Ostrowski (13-5), who pinned Mark Zabinski in 1:02 at 106 pounds, and sophomore Tom Howell, who pinned Anthony Mezzelo in 5:28 at 195.
Another freshman, Tommy Opdenhoff, improved his season record to 17-3 with a forfeit win at 120, and junior Brad Taylor also took a forfeit win at 126.
"Ian Ostrowski wrestled a solid match, and Tom Howell wrestled a great match,'' Nikolishen said.
In some of the other bouts, however, Nikolishen is searching for improvement.
"Tonight was one of those cement matches for us,'' he quipped. "In a lot of the bouts, it looked like we were stuck in cement, and we weren't moving.''
Meet notes: Tyler Yahner is the nephew of Dave Yahner, who won a PIAA Class AA state championship at 167 pounds for the Highlanders back in 1986 ... Cambria Heights enjoyed a 12-3 advantage in takedowns ... Central Cambria prevailed in the junior varsity bout, 78-16 ... Both Central Cambria and Cambria Heights will participate in the Richland Duals Saturday. Before that, Central Cambria visits Johnstown for a dual meet Thursday.

Medical volunteers bring relief to Lebanon camps
27 July 2006
International Medical Corps is providing essential medical supplies in and around Tyre, supporting the Hiram Hospital and four Palestinian refugee camps in southern Lebanon. The four camps house approximately 40,000 Palestinian refugees and 30,000 Lebanese who have been displaced since the surge in hostilities earlier this month. All camps are facing supply shortages as 47 bridges connecting Beirut to Southern cities including Tyre and Sidon have been destroyed.
IMC has organized mobile clinics to address the immediate needs of the internally displaced in and around Tyre. Six-person teams consisting of volunteer paediatricians, general physicians, gynaecologists, nurses, and paramedics will support mobile units in each of the four camps.
IMC has supplied Hiram Hospital with medical supplies, equipment, and medications to support the facility for an additional two to three weeks. The hospital has donated both health staff and vehicles to support IMC mobile clinics.
Along the Syria/Lebanon border, IMC has one health programme officer, one Syrian doctor specializing in emergency medicine, and an internal medicine specialist. Medicines are procured locally to treat common, acute and chronic illnesses.
IMC has treated more than 67 people suffering from acute cardiovascular complications, dehydration, mild burns, skin/eye infections, shell injuries, acute psychological illnesses, respiratory infections, insect bites, diarrhoeal diseases, and others.
Health constraints along the Syria/Lebanon border include poor hygiene, physical exhaustion, psychological illnesses such as depression, neurosis, agitation, and abnormal grief reactions, and diarrhoeal diseases.
IMC plans on establishing two additional mobile/static clinics at other refugee entry points and several mobile teams at refugee settlements in Syria. It also will conduct a health survey to identify additional health needs, establish a mobile unit with a gynaecologist who can address the needs of female refugees and conduct psychosocial support programme for refugees and the internally displaced.
To help facilitate all of IMC's operations throughout the region, IMC has set up a small logistical hub based out of Larnaca, Cyprus to oversee and facilitate the dispatch of crucial aid and staff members into Beirut.
IMC rapid needs assessments conducted in southern Lebanon and Syria indicate immediate needs include potable water and food for Palestinian refugees and Lebanese IDPs at four camps in Southern Lebanon, medical supplies and drugs at four hospitals in Tyre, non-food Items, including hygiene kits, clean delivery kits, basic emergency health kits, mattresses, plastic sheets, and kitchen items for host populations, IDPs, and refugees.

Adjunct Assistant Professor, Plant Biology and Conservation, Northwestern University
International Union for Conservation of Nature, Orchid Specialist Group
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Recovery Team Member: Platanthera praeclara and Lespedeza leptostachya
- Population biology and reproductive ecology of rare plants
- Effects of gender dynamics on population performance
- Plant population viability analysis
- Effects of climate change on rare plant species
- Modeling range shifts of plants under climate change
- Ex situ conservation
- Assisted migration of plant species in response to climate change
My research is focused on the reproductive ecology and population viability of rare and threatened plant species. My approach includes experimental manipulation on the effects of management options to understand patterns of resource allocation and how demographic trade-offs may influence vital rates and population trajectories.
Cirsium pitcheri (pitcher's thistle) — In 2011 we completed work on a five-year grant to study the demography and genetics of Cirsium pitcheri, a threatened species that occurs around Lake Michigan. We found that the species is in decline, and all populations in the study are below replacement rate due to numerous threats including invasive species, predation by goldfinches, and predation by a biocontrol weevil introduced to control weedy thistles. In 2011 we began collecting data on populations that are infested with weevils to elucidate their effects on plant vital rates. We are also collecting data on pollinators and other insect visitors to understand the network of interactions that occur in our study populations and how these interact to influence population viability (Havens-Young, Fant, Vitt and outside collaborators).
Lespedeza leptostachya (prairie bush clover) —This federally threatened gravel-hill prairie species is found at Nachusa Grasslands in Franklin Grove, Illinois, where we completed an experimental demography study to elucidate the role of grass competition on vital rates. Decreasing grass cover increases seedling recruit. In 2014, Nachusa Grasslands will introduce bison, and we will conduct a spatially explicit exclusion study to determine their effects on grass cover, community composition, and vital rates of prairie bush clover. The approach will include remote sensing of the grasslands to correlate patterns of grassland change as a result of bison grazing with on-the-ground changes in population vital rates and vegetation dynamics (Vitt, Havens-Young and outside collaborators).
Ex Situ Conservation
Seed banking both rare and common species is an important aspect of plant conservation. I curate the Dixon National Tallgrass Prairie Seed Bank at the Chicago Botanic Garden, which has a collection focus of native prairie species. We target the tallgrass prairie, because it is the most endangered ecosystem in North America, having lost approximately 96 percent of its former extent to habitat conversion. I am particularly interested in applying Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to create effective seed collection strategies.
Species Range Shifts
Many plant species will experience significant range shift as climate change proceeds over the coming decades. I am currently working with my postdoctoral assistant Shannon Still on a project which examines the impact of global climate change on the species distribution of rare plants in the Great Basin. With this work we are examining the current distributions of rare plants and then making projections as to how these distributions will change between now and the year 2080.

The U.S. House of Representatives bill (PDF), which was introduced late Friday by top Democratic politicians, could give the movie and music industries a new revenue stream by pressuring schools into signing up for monthly subscription services such as Ruckus and Napster. Ruckus is advertising-supported, and Napster charges a monthly fee per student.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) applauded the proposal, which is embedded in a 747-page spending and financial aid bill. "We very much support the language in the bill, which requires universities to provide evidence that they have a plan for implementing a technology to address illegal file sharing," said Angela Martinez, a spokeswoman for the MPAA.
According to the bill, if universities did not agree to test "technology-based deterrents to prevent such illegal activity," all of their students--even ones who don't own a computer--would lose federal financial aid.
The prospect of losing a combined total of nearly $100 billion a year in federal financial aid, coupled with the possibility of overzealous copyright-bots limiting the sharing of legitimate content, has alarmed university officials.
"Such an extraordinarily inappropriate and punitive outcome would result in all students on that campus losing their federal financial aid--including Pell grants and student loans that are essential to their ability to attend college, advance their education, and acquire the skills necessary to compete in the 21st-century economy," a letter from university officials to Congress written on Wednesday said. "Lower-income students, those most in need of federal financial aid, would be harmed most under the entertainment industry's proposal."
The letter was signed by the chancellor of the University of Maryland system, the president of Stanford University, the general counsel of Yale University, and the president of Penn State.
They stress that the "higher education community recognizes the seriousness of the problem of illegal peer-to-peer file sharing and has long been committed to working with the entertainment industry to find a workable solution to the problem." In addition, the letter says that colleges and universities are responsible for "only a small fraction of illegal file sharing."
The MPAA says the university presidents are overreacting. An MPAA representative sent CNET News.com a list of campuses that have begun filtering files transferred on their networks, including the University of Florida (Red Lambda technology); the University of Utah (network monitoring and Audible Magic); and Ohio's Wittenberg University (Audible Magic).
For each school taking such steps, the MPAA says, copyright complaints dramatically decreased, in some cases going from 50 a month to none.

As the second week of battle rounds began on The Voice Monday, talented singers swapped teams, proving the competition is as tight as it's ever been.
The night's soulful finale, pitting Team Usher's Orlando Dixon against Ryan Innes made for a rousing and inspired finish. The competitors, matching Innes's blues prowess against Dixon's technical mastery of R&B, left no doubt that winning season 4 will be tough.
Singing Bill Withers's "Ain't No Sunshine," the men put on an impassioned show, featuring dueling runs, falsettos and raw emotional power. After much deliberating, Usher chose Innes, praising his conviction and depth, calling him "powerful."
But Dixon, who ended up in tears as he told Usher that he and his family were struggling financially, had already dazzled Levine, who quickly hit his button for the steal – as a grateful Usher stood up to applaud.
"You are an exceptional talent. I couldn't allow you to walk off this stage," Adam said. "Anybody who wants it that bad always has a chance of winning."
It was not the only steal of the night. Shakira put preacher's son Luke Edgemon up against Monique Abbadie, a former child star, picking Lady Gaga's "Yoü and I" for their duet. Their rock synergy made for a powerful performance and both shined equally.
Levine praised Edgemon, calling him "a big revelation," while Blake Shelton was also impressed.
"Luke, you put soul into the song and what you did showed me something totally different about you as a performer," Usher said. "You've got a career ahead of you, buddy."
In the end, Shakira chose Abbadie, who seemed blown away by the decision. Blake was delighted and quickly tried to make a steal. But so did Usher. Edgemon, who said he was thinking strategically, moved to Team Blake.
The night's other tight all-male duet came from New Orleans's C. Perkins, a stocker and cashier at a grocery store, and Kris Thomas of Memphis. Both R&B singers, they battled on the Bruno Mars hit "It Will Rain."
At the end, the judges felt both held back. "I still feel like we haven't seen everything that either one of you can do," Blake said. Shakira, who eventually picked Thomas, agreed.
But all was not lost for Perkins. At the last minute, Usher provided major drama when he hit the steal button. "I really feel like that he has talent we've yet to see," Usher said.
In other battles, Houston teen Savannah Berry beat Team Blake's ballerina-turned-musician Jacqui Sandell from Oakland, Calif., singing Little Big Town's "Little White Church."
The quirky accordion-guitar duo Midas Whale topped Beale Street power singer Patrick Dodd, who dazzled in a tight contest that showed off his rasp and heart. "It's like he gargles with broke glass," Shelton said, calling his decision "one of the hardest ones I've had to make in four seasons."
Vedo, an Atlanta soul singer whose appearances have been inspired by his mother who has stage four lung cancer, won a tight battle for Team Usher against Jessica Childress of Lancaster, Calif., singing Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven."
And the battle rounds continue Tuesday on The Voice.

Students have the right to appeal or petition an academic decision. For the appeals procedure to be followed after suspension, see Appeals Procedure for Readmission. For other appeals or petitions, the student must make the appeal or petition, in writing, in accordance with the applicable school or program procedure. Please see the appropriate dean or program director for a copy of the procedure. Written appeals must be submitted during the first four weeks into the next semester and must include documentary evidence that the student feels has a bearing upon the request.
A faculty committee from the school involved reviews the appeal. The student may be present at the hearing. The decision of the faculty appeals committee will be reported to the student within five school days of the date of the hearing.
If the decision of the faculty committee is not acceptable to the student, the student may file a written appeal with the Academic Grievance Committee within five school days of notification of the faculty decision. The Academic Grievance Committee is made up of the Academic Vice President, the Dean of Students, and the Academic Deans, except the one whose school is involved in the appeal. All materials included in the faculty's deliberations, including the student's written appeal and the proceedings of the faculty hearing, are made available to the Academic Grievance Committee and become part of the proceedings. The hearing before the Academic Grievance Committee will be held within fifteen school days of receiving the written appeal. The student may be present at the appeal hearing. The student and faculty representatives may call members of the college as supporting witnesses. The decision of the Academic Grievance Committee is reported to the student within five school days of the date of the hearing.
Decisions of the Academic Grievance Committee are final.
Students have the right to continue their enrollment and participation in academic programs until final decisions are reached. Failure of students to file appeals within specified time limits is considered acknowledgment of the action without intent to appeal.

"They're over," says a source. "They've been broken up for a couple of weeks. They just wanted things to die down around them. [Kate and Alex] both seem to totally fine. They decided to move on."
Together since the spring, the couple were seen together all over the country and most recently in Europe where Hudson was doing press for her latest flick, Nine.
"Kate decided to take her mom to some of the press stuff and premieres as her date – that was good for her," says the source. "They both have kids and totally different lives ... They may not be done working it out though."
Plus, in an interview Hudson gave on CNN's Larry King Live, airing Wednesday night, when asked how Rodriguez is, she responds, "Good, really good." She also says her dad Kurt Russell played baseball so she's been a fan of the game for a while.

Serves 14 |
Prep Time 20 minutes |
Cook Time 1 hour 10 minutes
50 ounces Eden Spaghetti Sauce, 2 jars
1/4 cup Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup zucchini, sliced thin
2 cups spinach, chopped
1/2 cup Eden Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms
1/2 cup Eden Maitake Mushrooms, soaked 20 minutes in warm water to cover, chopped
14 to 15 ounces any Eden Crushed Tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Tofu Ricotta
2 pounds organic extra firm tofu, rinsed and drained
1 cup water
2 tsp Eden Ume Plum Vinegar
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce
1 1/2 pounds lasagna noodles
Heat oil in a large saucepan and sauté the garlic and onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame and simmer for 20 minutes.
While the sauce is cooking, cook the lasagna until half done, about 7 minutes, rinse and drain.
To prepare the tofu ricotta, blend all ingredients in a blender until creamy.
Preheat the oven to 400°. To assemble the lasagna, place a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a large, deep baking dish (13 x 9 x 2 1/2 inches deep). Place a layer of lasagna on top. Place a layer of tofu ricotta, sauce, and another layer of lasagna. Continue layering until all ingredients are used. The bottom and top layer should always be sauce. Cover the baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the lasagna is tender. Remove cover and bake another 10 minutes to brown, if desired. Remove, allow to cool slightly and slice.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
In Science Magazine's November 30 cover story, researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute reported that they had created 100 three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures using DNA building blocks that function like Lego® bricks—an advance from the two-dimensional (2D) structures the same team announced building a few months ago in Nature.
The Wyss team, led by Wyss faculty member Brian Wei, Ph.D., had previously described its nanofabrication technique, "DNA-brick self-assembly," as method for building complex nanostructures out of short synthetic strands of DNA.
Called single-stranded tiles (SSTs), 42-base strands of DNA "building blocks," similarly to Legos, could be programmed, the researchers said, to assemble themselves into precisely designed shapes, such as letters and emoticons, like a smiley face.
In the 2D technique, a "single-stranded tile" (SST) consists of a 42-base strand of DNA composed entirely of concatenated sticky ends and that binds to four local neighbors during self-assembly. The investigators implemented their strategy with a master strand collection that corresponded to a 310-pixel canvas, and then used appropriate strand subsets to construct 107 distinct and complex two-dimensional shapes, thereby establishing SST assembly as a simple, modular and robust framework for constructing nanostructures with prescribed shapes from short synthetic DNA strands.
As described by the Wyss Institute, the trick to creating the 3D structures required starting with smaller DNA bricks, about 32 bases long, which changes the orientation of every matched-up pair of bricks to a 90 degree angle—giving every two Legos a 3D shape. The team then used these bricks to build out in addition to up, eventually forming 3D structures, such as a 25-nanometer solid cube containing hundreds of bricks. The cube can then act as a "master" DNA "molecular canvas"; in this case described in the Science paper, the canvas was comprised of 1000 so-called "voxels," corresponding to eight base-pairs and measuring about 2.5 nanometers in size.
To date, most DNA nano research has focused on the use of a single long biological strand of DNA, which acts as scaffold along which smaller strands bind to its many different segments to create shapes. This method, called DNA origami, is also being pursued at the Wyss Institute under the leadership of core faculty member William Shih, Ph.D.
But the novel building block method, the scientists say, with its modular architecture, sophisticated geometric control, and synthetic nature, will further expand the range of applications that nucleic acid technology has already started to address.
The step from 2D to 3D nanostructures moves the use of DNA nanotechnologies forward toward applications including "smart" medical devices that target drugs selectively to disease sites, programmable imaging probes, and templates for precisely arranging inorganic materials in the manufacturing of next generation computer circuits.
Harvard's Wyss Institute was founded to discover the engineering principles that nature uses to build living things, and to harness these insights to create biologically inspired materials and devices that will revolutionize healthcare and create a more sustainable world. In medicine, the Institute aims to develop innovative materials, devices, and disease reprogramming technologies that emulate how living tissues and organs self-organize and naturally regulate themselves.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Nike Running Shoe
"I put this shoe on and it felt like I had been "wearing it" forever. It was a such a good DEAL and an EXCELLENT fit! I workout often, so I wear my shoes out very fast and every time I order on line or purchase athletic shoes in the store, they fit GREAT!"

Not a Running Shoe
"I bought these shoes to train for my next 5K. On my 1st and 2nd run I got terrible blisters on the arches of my feet and my ankles and knees started aching terribly. I took them back and purchased a completely different shoe and I have none of the above problems. I don't know if I got a bad shoe or if these just are not designed well for running? I do not recommend."
