Canisius coach Jim Baron has a chance to win his 400th career game tonight when the Golden Griffins play Siena on the road.
Both Canisius and Niagara aim to stay on top of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tonight with road games against foes who are at or near the bottom of the league standings.
The Golden Griffins (10-5) and the Purple Eagles (7-8) are part of a four-way tie for first place in the MAAC at 3-1.
Canisius plays at Siena (2-13, 0-4 MAAC) at 7 p.m. at Albany's Times Union Center (Time Warner Cable SportsChannel , 1400 AM).
Niagara plays at St. Peter's (6-8, 1-3 MAAC) at 7 p.m. at the Jersey City, N.J., school's Yanitelli Center (930 AM).
First-year Canisius coach Baron has compiled his 399 career wins at four Division I schools. The others are, in order, St. Francis (Pa.), St. Bonaventure and Rhode Island.
Siena has won 13 of its last 14 meetings with Canisius, including the last three, and Golden Griffin wins in the Times Union Center have been rare. A win tonight would end the Griffs' eight-game losing streak to Siena on the Saints' home floor. The last Canisius win there was on Jan. 17, 2005.
However, Siena, the conference's most successful program (most MAAC wins, 230, since joining in 1989-90, plus five NCAA Tournament appearances), is experiencing its worst start through 15 games as a Division I program. Siena's 11-game losing streak matches its second longest in program history (1958-59 and 1959-60). It is also only the second time that Siena has started MAAC play 0-4 — it has never started conference play 0-5.
A win for Niagara, which has won three straight MAAC games, would also be something of a landmark. Another MAAC victory tonight would give the Purple Eagles their longest conference winning streak since a four-game run from late February to early March in 2009.
The lone MAAC win for St. Peter's was an impressive one, coming against Iona (9-6). Iona and Loyola (11-5) are the other 3-1 teams tied with Canisius and Niagara atop the MAAC.
Niagara did lose its last game, but it was against Brown.

The Sun's Heartbeat
Browsing the new science books, I came across The Sun's Heartbeat. I picked it up expecting a rather dry collection of facts and was immediately engaged by a chapter titled "The Wild Science of the Bearded Men."
Not only can Bob Berman write but he also has that gift shared by all the best science writers: the ability to translate complex scientific terms into language that anyone can understand.
This book provides a compelling overview of several thousand years of sun research including the great sunspot controversy of the 17th century. The invention of the telescope in 1608 spurned a race to discover facts about the sun. Johannes Fabricius and his father discovered little spots on the sun and excitedly watched them for days until they burnt out their retinal cells. An English astronomer who had voyaged to Roanoke with the English explorers also began recording sunspots. And Galileo himself entered the fray. In fact, Galileo engaged in a decades-long fight with the German professor Christoph Scheiner over sunspots. Over who discovered them first--in fact, neither had, over whether the sun has an atmosphere, and many other topics.
Soon after, European universities set up the first programs to count sunspots daily--or as daily as you can under northern Europe's grey skies. But then the number of sunspots observed tanked to nearly zero. From 1645 to 1720, even with astronomers across Europe searching for them, very few sunspots were counted. At the same time, the world's weather deteriorated. Canals in Venice froze solid for the first time recorded. In France, Louis XIV, ironically known as the Sun King, watched many of his people suffer. Boston recorded thirty-eight blizzards between Nov. and April. Sweden's fishing industry failed. Even China recorded brutally cold winters and crop failures.
Another great yarn shared by Berman is how the first Royal Astronomer of Britain, William Herschel, who also discovered Uranus, believed that people-like inhabitants lived on the sun's surface. This scientific "fact" was taught in schools until well into the nineteenth century.
Winter is a great time to keep warm and enjoy this captivating book about our unique star that makes life on our lovely green orb possible. For a book that delves into the history of the moon and how people from many cultures celebrate it, try Nocturne: a Journey in Search of Moonlight.

Senior American Airlines executive to head Virgin Atlantic
UPDATED 10:15 a.m. with additional information: Craig S. Kreeger, American Airlines' senior vice president of customer service, is leaving the carrier to join Virgin Atlantic Airways as its chief executive officer, the two airlines said Tuesday.
Kreeger replaces Virgin Atlantic's CEO since 2001, Steve Ridgeway, who announced last September he intended to retire in spring 2013. The appointment is effective Feb. 1, with Ridgeway to depart at the end of February.
"I am delighted to be taking on the role of Virgin Atlantic's chief executive. It is a great airline renowned for its customer service and innovation. I have been competing with it for many years but have always admired its laser focus on its people, its products and its customers," Kreeger said in Virgin Atlantic's announcement.
"I am looking forward to working with the Virgin Atlantic team to build on Steve's achievements and create the next exciting chapter," he said.
"We are thrilled to welcome Craig to Virgin Atlantic – he is the right person to succeed Steve Ridgway at this dynamic and challenging time for our airline," Virgin Group founder Richard Branson said in VAA's announcement.
" We believe Craig has the experience and passion to drive Virgin Atlantic forward and capitalise on the opportunities created by our new venture with Delta Air Lines," Branson said.
Delta and Virgin Atlantic recently announced an agreement in which Delta is buying Singapore Airlines' 49 percent share of Virgin Atlantic and are planning a trans-Atlantic alliance. They are seeking antitrust immunity for their business partnership.
Virgin Atlantic strongly opposed a similar alliance between American and British Airways, the two dominant carriers on the important and lucrative New York-London route. The Delta-VAA alliance is an effort to fight back against that partnership.
"Exciting days ahead at
@virginatlantic as we welcome new CEO Craig Kreeger to the top job," Branson tweeted Tuesday.
American wished Kreeger well and thanked him for a job well done.
"Craig has always been a driving force at American – bringing innovation and transformation to so many parts of our airline for more than 25 years," American's chairman and CEO Tom Horton said Tuesday.
"Most recently, Craig aligned and consolidated a global team focused on improving the customer experience throughout all areas of travel. On behalf of the people of American, I thank Craig for his vision and dedication, and wish him the best as he returns to London to become chief executive at Virgin Atlantic," Horton said.
The hiring means that two Virgins will be led by AA alumni – Virgin Atlantic with Kreeger and Virgin America with David Cush.
American named Jonathan D. Snook, its vice president of operations planning and performance, to replace Kreeger.
The executive changes come as American is nearing an announcement on whether it will merge with US Airways. A merger would cause a massive shifting of executive assignments as the two carriers meshed their management ranks.
Keep reading for the official bios of Kreeger and Snook from AA.

Neil Schmitz, professor of English, wrote the following tribute to senior auditor Edwin Hart.
Published April 25, 2013
Nov. 6, 2012: I come into my English 242 classroom. Edwin P. Hart, a senior auditor, stands near the entrance and, as I breeze past him, says with his boy Buddha smile: "I'm 91 today."
Nov. 13, 1943: Edwin is in the 21st Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. It is the Battle of the Solomons.
Thirteen days ago, Edwin's regiment stormed ashore on Bougainville Island and has advanced under constant fire a short distance inland into the impenetrable jungle. It is morning, misty, wet, everything dripping, foxholes slimy. Edwin, a scout, moves through the green fastness, alone in the jungle, creeping and crouching, where are the Japanese, looking for the signs of their presence. Japanese soldiers open fire on him from a concealed position. He dives for cover and in that position is struck, the bullet entering his upper chest and lodging itself in the lung. Seriously wounded, Edwin painfully crabwalks back through the jungle, a long distance to the American line.
Nov. 6, 2012: That Japanese bullet is with us in 103 Clemens.
Not all senior auditors can bring such honorable wounds to our courses. Among senior auditors, Edwin is in his own category. He's been auditing for several decades. He has not yet emptied all the wells of wisdom in the department. I know I am a stop on his way.
He's probably, at this moment, scrutinizing Susan Eilenberg's Milton course. There is a silent competition in the department for senior auditors. I had, I thought, Hill Haas's attention. I thought he was mine. He'd sit in class with that debonair smile on his face. Then, abruptly, he left me for Joseph Conte and Damien Keane. Two courses, I think, and my well of wisdom was empty. Ave atque, Hill Haas, gone this semester.
The thing about senior auditors: They calm you down. Edwin has a kind of Buddha composure. I'm always calmed down when, first thing, I see Edwin seated in his chair next to the door. On Veterans Day, I told the short version of Edwin's Purple Heart story and we applauded him and the bullet. This amazing bullet, made in some Japanese munitions factory in 1943, boxed, shipped to the Solomons, delivered to a soldier, in his bandolier, loaded, fired, here it is, inside Edwin. I'm fairly ancient myself. Edwin is from the time of Troy.
Dec. 7, 2012: Class finally dismissed, dispersing. Edwin approaches the lectern. He's brought his Purple Heart. He opens the blue box and there it is, like a crown jewel. I've never actually seen a Purple Heart this close up. It is big, impressive.
Terrence Malick's "Thin Red Line," that
magnificent movie, gives us the Battle of the Solomons, Marines in
action on Guadalcanal, the jungle where Edwin took the
bullet. Same jungle, Guadalcanal, Bougainville. Edwin is from
the time of Troy.

Well, we can say that the folks from Redmond definitely have a morbid sense of humor. In celebration of the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft held a mock funeral for two of the stars of the smartphone community: the Apple iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.
According to Neowin, there were hearses for both the iPhone and the BlackBerry along with Microsoft employees dressed up in Windows Phone 7 garb. Microsoft even went so far as to have employees performing the infamous "Thriller Dance" to celebrate the hope that Windows Phone 7 will bury the competition.
Interestingly enough, while Microsoft definitely had Apple and RIM in its crosshairs today, "dead" Google was nowhere to be found. There were no hearses for the Android OS, so either Microsoft just overlooked this "minor" detail, or it doesn't think that it has the muscle to bury Android so quickly.
Windows Phone 7 is reportedly set to launch on October 11.
quote: Another clueless one here boys.... Vista and Win7 are practically identical under the hood and mostly in interface as well.
quote: After the Vista service pack there's very little difference, you turn down UAC and everything is just fine.
quote: I'm a 15 yr developer who builds $3k systems every year or two and guess what, I PREFER Vista 64 over Win7.
quote: I won't get into why
quote: but it's usability. And don't forget in benchmarks both OS are almost idential in performance and in MANY tests Vista is the fastest.
quote: Know the facts, don't just buy into media hype and jump on the banwagon, especially when spouting off on an enthusiast site.

Tips to Stay Safe and Warm During Ice Storm Recovery
Ice and snow from winter storms can bring down trees and power lines, causing power outages and creating electrical dangers. Safe Electricity wants everyone to know how to stay safe and warm after winter storms.
If you must venture outside, be alert to the possibility of electrical hazards:
It can be difficult to stay warm without power. If you live with young children or the elderly, consider temporarily staying somewhere with power. If you are at a home with power, there are ways to stay warm:
Only use a generator if you know how to operate it without hurting yourself, or electric utility employees.
After an outage, power can return in spikes. Keep your electronics safe by unplugging them. Leave one light on to indicate that power has been restored then turn on other appliances and equipment one at a time.

Here's mine anyway...

September 14, 2013, 01:57 PM
Here's the SiG's ... Top to Bottom; P522, P556 and 552 ... still waiting on the stamp for the P553 that was applied for last January;
called yesterday and they said I should have it by November. :mad: I'm feeling infringed.
Here's the Colts ... top is 9mm, bottom isn't an SBR, its an M-16, but the barrel is only 10.5"
These are the only ones with non-factory parts ... furniture is Magpul, optic is IOR Valdada 3x25 QR-TS
The HK clones; last but not least ... the two 9mm in the first pic are SBR'd but at the time of the picture, the PTR above was sporting a registered sear.
The HK-53 clone on the bottom is my favorite, and where the sear usually resides as it's not a true SBR either.
September 15, 2013, 02:55 PM
Kimber I really liked those colts they look sweet so did colt make some in 9mm or did you do that
September 16, 2013, 03:21 AM
Those Sigs are nice!!!
September 16, 2013, 10:23 AM
Kimber I really liked those colts they look sweet so did colt make some in 9mm or did you do that
Colt did make a factory 9mm and they drilled the receiver and used roll pins to hold the 9mm magwell adaptor in place however mine is a LE6920 receiver I SBR'd and put together with a Colt 9mm SMG demilled kit ... I didn't pin the receiver adaptor in place so I can switch to other caliburs if I like ... the factory mag well adaptor has a friction block in it that holds it in place as well as the mag catch, and I've never had any problem with it coming loose.

Boricua9mm, could we have some more info on what you posted there? Looks sweet!
Surely! It's a Bobcat Weapons BW5, previously a BW5-FS (Fake Suppressor, which was secured via a pin into one of the barrel lugs). These are now regarded as some of the better made offerings of the earlier MP5 clones. It's come a long way from factory configuration...
Specs as Pictured Above:
Form 1 SBR with stainless steel 3-Lug barrel
Fleming all-steel cocking Tube Support
RCM full auto tungsten filled bolt carrier
RCM Action 3 Bolt Head
RCM standard locking piece
H&K semi-auto converted, clipped & pinned Navy Style S-E-F trigger group with Match Grade sear spring (sweet trigger!)
Parabellum Combat Systems extended selector lever
OD green wide forend and A2 stock. I think these were made either by P.O.F. or by MKE for a Mexican contract. To my knowledge, that's the only origin of any photos showing OD Green MP5s in action.
Real deal German mags (accept no substitutes).
SWR Octane 9 HD2 Suppressor wearing 3-Lug adapter.
The furniture changes depending on my mood...
Surefire Rail, Tango Down Stubby VFG and Surefire X300...
Traditional A3 Setup...
September 24, 2013, 11:17 AM
Awesome set up boricua
September 24, 2013, 11:32 AM
Sweet pics guys. I'm so pissed that Michigan doesn't allow SBRs. I'd love to legally assemble a supressed short barrel AR15 in 300 BLK. Having to use a 16" barrel kind of kills it for me...

Phantom Captain....that's the way a Thompson is supposed to look!
Thanks, I totally agree!! I had wanted it to look right for years and finally went ahead and got the stamp to shorten the barrel and make it "right". It's definitely one of my favorites now and a complete head turner wherever I bring it.

The mail is still running. Nothing stopping you from sending the form. They just won't open the mail until they return to work.

I'm thinking he meant E-Forms (and those are down).

yep mike has it right e form is down :banghead:

E-Forms are still down but there is a lady at the desk and she is willing to answer questions now (she could not type serial numbers during the "shutdown" slowdown?).

Second pending
I'm not familiar with "second pending," Mike. Do we know what that means? Perhaps I've never inquired after the initial pending, so I never heard about this.
October 17, 2013, 08:11 PM
Horsedude - overseas right now so no pics but at home in the safe are an AAC .300 9" and a DD MK18 .223 10.3". Put them on pistol lowers and waiting for that long-overdue stamp for the "multiple" caliber rifle lower.
October 17, 2013, 08:14 PM
Well mine is back from the engraver but I can't send in my form because of the shutdown. :banghead:
You can send it and Treasury will cash your check but won't get looked at for a while anyway, even without the shutdown. My times in 2012-13:
From cashed $200 check to "pending" BATFE review: 3 mos
From "pending" BATFE review to stamp issue: 9-10 mos
Killing me.
October 17, 2013, 09:42 PM
I'm not familiar with "second pending," Mike. Do we know what that means? Perhaps I've never inquired after the initial pending, so I never heard about this.
In recent months (looking at NFATracker.com data is appears to have started in May) the ATF added research assistants (I think they a paralegal types on contract) who review the applications by the same criteria examiners used to and then pass them on to the examiner who has the signature authority and the stamps. When the assistant approves, you go to "Second Pending". Most people are reporting 2-4 weeks between second pending and stamp and then as much as 1-2 to arrive.
She was clear mine was not approved yet so I suspect it was close before the slowdown.

I will be shortening the barrel even more and threading it (length was to keep me over 26" in previous "firearm" configuration so I could use a vertical front grip). Official configuration is a 10mm with 13.5" barrel. That block on the rail is a brass catcher mount. The barrel and carrier are filthy. I'm probably up to 1000 rds without cleaning and it seems like accuracy is just beginning to suffer. I wanted to prove the absolute reliability of the MechTech with the short barrel but will now give it a through cleaning. Never had a hiccup. Mags are 25+ round extensions for the Kriss Vector. I fit 28 rounds. I will also experiment with the Korean 27 rounders (as I hear they are much easier to convert to 10mm).

Alright guys I am extending an invation to any NFA item I really would like to see all the special toys that you have to pay extra for :evil: some come on in guys please suppressors sbs aow FA you name it its welcome.
They call it a Lupara ("for the wolf") in Sicily. Some call it a "Bear Claw" (which to me is a pastry). I call it the hind leg of an angry mule--the harder your grip the less you get kicked.
I wanted a single trigger one so I did not have to reposition my hand to change triggers making single hand use possible. I found that it is physically impossible not to double when firing one handed with buckshot. In fact, it doubles as a single sound. Trying as hard as I could to squeeze the trigger and keep it back just changes the double from a single sound to a discernable 2-shot "burst". Point of impact does not change much. One time, and I'm not sure how (arm may have been too straight and not tight), when shooting single handed, it turned in on me as I instinctively danced around it. I deliberately test fired it in the middle of nowhere not at a public range (which I would have been kicked off of). Fortunately it had already doubled before it turned. I will not be shooting it one handed anymore with 9-pellet 00 unless the left barrel is empty--it's not safe. I have yet to try reduced loads.
The knuckle of my ring finger took a beating until I experimented with how to hold it (a slight gap between middle finger and the trigger guard and hold really tight). The next day I realized it had aggravated my trigger finger (but I'm allowed another 2 cortisone shots before having to resort to surgery). I had to abandon the idea of using gloves--too slippery. It did not kick nearly this hard when I had it at an intermediate length (18.5") barrel. I had previously found 3" 00 magnum loads and slugs tolerable with just another 6.5" of barrel.
I shot 25 rounds of bird shot and 25 rounds of buckshot. I shot 5 hot high brass #4 hunting loads that were very hard to eject due to low break-open leverage and the rest was a 50/50 mix of commodity 00 (Estate and Olin "military grade"--which is just fiber wad Super-X with a green/black shell). The forestock wood became loose and I need to look into securing it better--possibly bedding it and Locktighting the screws.

I ordered this stock (Fab Defense GLR-17/440) right after getting my stamp. It arrived from Israel today.
It is fairly rigid and the mount to the Glock very rigid.
It is very well designed, very ergonomic. "Length of pull" seems a little long until one take into account the distance a pistol is normally held and the sight radius. It's feels like original (not modified) Weaver stance plus a shoulder mount and cheek weld. This thing was well thought out. So light and short when collapsed, I think I'm going to look for a holster that works with the thing on.

Rem 870 12.5" barrel. Tri-rail, TLR-4 Laser/light, 250 Lumen light on side with dazzle strobe mode.
I have to add some material to the front underside of the red dot mount to raise it up a bit to align with the bore.
I plan to thread it for Win chokes.
Edit: Test Firing! The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.
The scope ring holding the side mount strobe light also broke!

I got to handle a SBRed AK pistol today and was very happy with the balance. I may have to make one. The stock folder to the port side and did not block the safety.
January 5, 2014, 04:19 PM
The stock folder to the port side and did not block the safety.
I had the option with the ACE stock & hinge, but I choose right side for two reasons -- I prefer the release to push down instead of up, and more practically to keep the left side nice and flat for carrying slung over my shoulder against my back.
I was careful to make sure the stock didn't interfere so it could be shot folded, taking it off safe when folded is not the easiest, but its doable because there is space between the safety and the stock tube.
I love shooting this thing and that cheap "fake" Krinkov style break is very effective. Shooting it off sandbags as a pistol while waiting for my stamp, the muzzle jumped like a 6" .44Mag with full house 240gr loads, with the brake the recoil was so straight back I skinned my elbow on the bench.

Oops, something didn't work.
I've been in computers for some time as well. I learned to code on a Dec Vax system. Back then I coded in Basic, Cobol, some Assembly and a little Pascal. I am trying to make the transition from these procedural languages into the Object oriented, event driven, world of windows and the internet. I was wondering what helped you the most moving from the procedural to Visual Studio. I still have problems with the coding with dot notation. I also struggle with the idea of objects and inheritance. I also struggle with the role that framework plays in a visual studio application. Do you have any suggestions that may help me make the transistion?

NFC technology companies have promoted the idea of using NFC tags to foil counterfeiters of luxury goods for some time.
NFC Times Exclusive – The planned launch of NFC transit ticketing in Japan next month with Apple Pay shined the spotlight on the emergence of closed-loop NFC transit ticketing–which has been seen as a prime application for NFC phones but one that has disappointed NFC backers for years.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Agreements that were announced with Visa, Discover and, last week, Mastercard may finally help PayPal reverse years of failed attempts to enable customers to pay with its PayPal Wallet in stores.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple Wednesday confirmed that its new iPhone 7 smartphones and second-generation Apple Watch will support Sony's proprietary FeliCa technology in Japan, as earlier reported, enabling transit and retail payments when Apple Pay launches in Japan next month. The tech giant will also expand Apple Pay into New Zealand and Russia this year, though was able to announce only one issuer so far between the two countries.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Rising from a failed TSM and wallet provider, Norway-based MeaWallet has transformed itself into a certified supplier of host card emulation technology, now part of Sweden-based Seamless Distribution.
NFC Times Excusive Insight – China's mobile payments market continues to heat up, with Chinese smartphone makers Huawei and Xiaomi announcing lineups of major banks as well as transit agencies participating in their respective NFC-based 'Pays' services.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple vowed it will not agree to open up its NFC technology or yield to other negotiating points that four large Australian banks have raised as part of their request to antitrust regulators to negotiate collectively with Apple and to boycott participation in Apple Pay while the negotiations are going on.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple plans to support proprietary FeliCa technology as well as NFC in its iPhones sold in Japan like other handset makers in Japan have been doing since 2012, probably starting with the iPhone 7; but the tech giant won't necessarily introduce Apple Pay with the device, a source told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Twelve months after launch, Samsung Pay is available in seven countries and eight total markets with users having made a combined 100 million or so transactions over the past year, but the tech giant is not disclosing its total number of users.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – One of Australia's largest supermarket chain, Coles, and the Australian Retailers Association have thrown their support behind four major banks seeking permission from Australian antitrust regulators to negotiate as a bloc with Apple as they try to break what they see as the tech giant's divide-and-conquer strategy for recruiting banks for Apple Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive – Both Visa and Mastercard have set deadlines for ending support for alternate PANs that a number of banks are issuing for their mobile payments apps, as the schemes continue to push their own tokenization services to issuers, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Adding mobile payments capabilities to flagship smartphones appears to be a must-have feature as OEMs fight for market share in China's hotly contested phone market.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Contactless reader and NFC vendor On Track Innovations reported lower expenses and says it has positioned itself to earn more revenue from services in addition to its reader sales and possible NFC patent income–all in hopes of making the company profitable for the first time in its history. The question of when that will happen remains unanswered, however, and OTI doesn't provide guidance.

Is there teen love in the air for pop star Austin Mahone and Fifth Harmony's Camila Cabelo?
"Austin caught Camila's eye when they were both in New York for the MTV VMAs [in August]," a friend of the teens tells PEOPLE. "They met the day before at the Arthur Ashe Kids Day and have been in touch ever since."
Back in December the "What About Love" crooner Tweeted his support for the 16-year-old brunette beauty whose group finished third on season two of The X Factor, "Hey gorgeous! Good job tonight. I voted for you."
Just a few months later it appears the two might be an item.
Although they haven't spent time together recently – Mahone has been in Miami rehearsing for his headlining tour, which kicks off on Oct. 17, and Cabelo has been in L.A. finishing off Fifth Harmony's EP Better Together that's set for release on Oct. 22 – a source tells PEOPLE that they're in touch regularly.
"Austin thinks she is so cute and she feels the same," the source says. "They're staying in touch and are looking forward to hanging out together soon."
Mahone, 17, cryptically Tweeted the following message on Sunday night: "When I text you, it's because I miss you. When I don't text you, it's because I'm waiting for you to miss me!"
Their reunion probably can't come soon enough!

MARTINSBURG - After opening her newspaper Friday afternoon, Jean Flanagan of Falling Waters discovered someone was searching for her.
An Illinois couple who received only the inside of a Christmas card along with a $100 Target gift card that was tucked inside a clear plastic postal service envelope, had been searching for the woman who had signed the card as "Love, A. Jean" since they received the mysterious package a week ago.
With nothing much to go on, Jack Chavis and his wife, Bonnie, contacted the Target customer service department from the phone number on the back of the gift card.
While Target could tell Chavis the gift was purchased in Martinsburg, it could not provide any additional details.
Chavis turned to an online search for the local Martinsburg newspaper, with hope that if he shared his story, someone may recognize the names on the card. He reached The Journal Thursday afternoon.
The Journal published a feature story on the front page Friday, calling for clues and hints to the identity of A. Jean. The story was featured on the newspaper's website, and was picked up by the West Virginia Associated Press bureau, and word spread from there.
Hours after the headlines printed Friday morning, Flanagan realized she was the missing "A. Jean" or Aunt Jean. Candi and Matt are not young children as Chavis initially thought, but are Flanagan's niece and her husband. Riley and Caleb are their children.
Candi and Matt Bruce are residents of Chillicothe, Ill., the same city in which the Chavises live.
Flanagan contacted The Journal, indicating that she was the woman Chavis was searching for. After locating the Bruce family, who were able to confirm the connection, The Journal contacted Chavis to tell him the good news.
"This is really good. It's just amazing that we found her. I'm so happy and really pleased," Chavis said.

This is the year that Project 2012, a $250 million undertaking to modernize facilities under the Susquehanna Health umbrella, fully bloomed.
Petals on this flower have been peeled back for the community to see slowly over the past six years as bits and pieces were completed and revealed.
Updates, renovations and additions were made to facilities at its main campus in the city, along with Divine Providence Hospital and Muncy Valley Hospital facilities.
Article Photos
Along the way, the city campus grew to become Williamsport Regional Medical Center, where a new Susquehanna Tower was completed and opened this year.
The tower holds a new Joint and Spine Center with progressive care unit, emergency department and imaging services, surgical services, The Birthplace, and an education and conference center.
The overall project also included a two-story 1,800-square foot expansion that enlarged the Center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and more room for long-term care patients to visit privately with family at Muncy Valley Hospital. Renovations to the Susquehanna Health Cancer Center at Divine Providence Hospital, an affiliation with Laurel Health System, and "healing art" at all the campuses also were highlights.
In Susquehanna Tower, the progressive care unit has 28 beds for cardiac monitoring on the sixth floor. The surgical suite has new equipment for open-heart procedures. The imaging department on the main floor allows for X-rays, ultrasounds and MRIs.
It also provides for an updated emergency department. The health system's old emergency department had outgrown its abilities to treat the volume of patients seen annually, according to Dr. Geralda Xavier, senior vice president and chief medical officer.
The new department replaces 17 curtained bays with 38 private treatment rooms. The new facility was designed to treat up to 60,000 patients a year.
The former emergency department was designed to treat about 32,000 to 33,000 people annually, said Dr. George Manchester, senior vice president and chief medical officer.
On average, the emergency department has been treating between 46,000 to 47,000 people annually.
How best to treat the patient is the focus, Xavier said. Improving the time it takes for someone visiting the emergency room to be treated and released is a goal.
"More rooms allow us to get people through triage," Manchester said, referring to the process of having a patient be greeted and provide minimal information about their ailments upon arrival. Nurses take patients into the triage area, where more comprehensive patient evaluations are done.
"We don't want people in the waiting room," Manchester said. "We can't treat in the waiting room."
By having private rooms rather than curtained rooms, patient confidentiality increased, Manchester said.
Spine center
At the end of March, the new joint replacement and spine center, as well as the therapy gym, opened to help patients recover from their surgery faster.
The new center is "patient oriented" and set up to allow patients to go home sooner, said Sue Everett, administrative director of outpatient rehabilitation and sports medicine.
When patients arrive at the hospital, they have their operation and then immediately go to the joint unit.
"Later that day, they have their first physical therapy session," Everett said.
"They're mobilized that day," said Lori Beucler, administrative director of perioperative services.
Their first full day, they are up early to use the centrally located therapy gym where activities replicate what the patient will need to do at home. That may include getting in and out of a car and a bed, cooking in a kitchen and taking a bath.
All of the joint replacement patients work in the gym together, including total knee and hip replacements. Patients can range from younger people in their 40s or 50s to a 100-year-old with a fractured total joint replacement, Everett said.
With so many people working together, they encourage each other by competing against each other in a "social aspect," she said.
"They're not going by it themselves," Everett said.
A patient must be able to walk 300 feet before they can go home. The goal for a hip replacement release is two days and three days for a knee replacement. That has decreased from an average stay of five days over the past few years. In the 1970s, it took two weeks.
"The medicine is better in general," Beucler said. "The care before surgery is more effective."
Comfort also has been considered with the department's renovations. Patients are given private rooms that have family zones for visitors and a place for loved ones to sleep, chairs that enable them to spend more time out of bed, nearby nurses' stations for quick assistance and amenities such as private bathrooms, Internet access and flatscreen televisions.
A new Birthplace
More than 1,200 babies are born each year at The Birthplace in Susquehanna Health. In June, the new maternity unit opened in Susquehanna Tower, said Patsy Miller, manager of patient care in The Birthplace.
New changes included six private labor and delivery rooms and 17 postpartum rooms. They feature a flat-screen television and mini-fridge, in addition to a computer terminal for nurses.
Each room has a family zone area and a support person is encouraged to stay in the room around the clock to help care for the new baby and assist the mom. The couch in each postpartum room pulls out into a bed.
There are two nurseries, which can house up to 20 babies. The newborn nursery has 15 beds and the remaining beds are in the Level II nursery for babies born from 32 weeks' gestation or more or full-term babies who need specialized care.
Having a positive Birthplace center is important because it sets the tone for the future, Miller said.
"Birthplace helps drive business throughout the hospital," she said. "It's the front door for lots of young families from start to finish."
Another new feature is a large waiting room so people can feel more comfortable until they hear the birth announcement.
Healing art
In 2010, Susquehanna Health put out a call to local artists to promote the power of healing through their artwork.
Throughout the health system facilities are paintings, photographs, ceramic tiles and sculptures. The artwork is intended to help reduce stress, enhance patient care and reduce a patient's stay in the hospital.
The works of more than 70 local artists are displayed throughout Susquehanna Tower.
The artwork selected had to be inspirational, healing or reflective of the health system's mission of extending God's healing love by improving the health of those it serves.
Cancer Center
The Cancer Center at Divine Providence Hospital was the first area expanded and renovatd as part of Project 2012.
To accommodate patients who might want to socialize during their chemotherapy or might prefer privacy, a mix of private and open bays were designed.
The open bays face a wall entirely made of glass that looks out on a healing garden.
"It's gorgeous," said Michele Gaida, administrative director of the cancer center. "It's a really nice thing to look at before and after treatment."
Comfort also was kept in mind with 20 new chemotherapy chairs that provide heat and massages. A patient donated money for music therapy, so patients can listen to satellite radio stations while in the chemotherapy room, Gaida said.
Visual therapy also surrounds the patients on the ceiling and walls with the artwork design.
The cancer center also now has a state-of-the-art accelerator that targets radiation so precisely it can significantly reduce the side effects from treatment.
Community education and oncology programming may be given in a 50-seat conference center.
Looking back
Project 2012, which finished this year, certainly did not start this year.
Previous to it, Williamsport Regional Medical Center, Muncy Valley Hospital and Divine Providence Hospital facilities had not received major updates for nearly 20 years.
The question became whether to update the buildings or create a new complex outside of the city.
A new location would have cost about $305 million. Renovations would cost about $230 million, but would be more complicated because the then Williamsport Hospital was landlocked by residential neighborhoods.
It required a community commitment that went beyond hospital walls and required the support of the city and the business community, including an expanded institutional zone.
In October 2005, Susquehanna Health's board announced its decision to continue as a city-based regional health system.
Once the city rezoned areas designating land in which the project could take place, Susquehanna Health identified 105 properties needed to build the tower. Purchases began in 2006. The last house was demolished Dec. 28, 2010.
Since then, the health system agreed to provide space within its institutional zone for a new city YMCA. It is in the process of acquiring and razing the final properties to provide for that purpose.

There's always room for one more!
The 26' 2" (7.98 m) length means there's always room for one more crewmember (up to 12 total!).
The storage below all the seats (some even lockable) provides plenty of room to stow more gear. The extra-large swim platform invites you to take one more dip in the water (the NEW oversized ladder makes for easy reboarding).
The NEW exterior colors and styling begs for one more group photo beside the boat.
And at the end of the day, the interior courtesy lighting and Bimini top-mounted LED lights allow for one last cruise across the lake.

Coorgi Chicken Pepper Fry & Donate for a Heart
The first time I ate chicken was at a restaurant when I was about 10 or so. Did not take too well to it then. Over time though, I've grown to love it in almost all forms. I hardly ever cook chicken at home though. I remember trying to cook it for the first time when I was newly married. I wanted to surprise N (who eats basically anything that moves!) & bought boneless chicken from my grocery store. I could not bring myself to touch the raw meat & ended up wearing plastic gloves in order to cut & cook the chicken! :) Nowadays, I buy roasted or grilled chicken from the store that's good to go! Usually add in sandwiches or salads for a burst of protein & flavor.
When Srilekha announced that chicken was her September Theme of the Month, I got cookin' again! I used the store-bought grilled chicken to prepare Coorg style Chicken Pepper Fry adapted from here. Thanks, Srilekha for choosing chicken as the theme & prodding me to prepare this delicious fry :)
2 chicken breasts grilled & cut into thick pieces
1 onion cut into strips
3-4 green chillies slit lengthwise
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp rice flour
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp ground pepper
2 tbsp water
Grind to paste:
6 cloves garlic
1" ginger
1/2 tsp saunf/fennel seeds
3-4 pods cloves
Mix grilled chicken with the marinade & keep aside for 15 mins. Heat oil. Fry onions until translucent. Add the chicken & fry for a couple minutes. Add the ground paste & green chillies. Mix well. Cover & cook on low heat for 10 mins. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Thanks again to Srilekha & Anitha for the Wylde Woman Award. The purpose of the award is to send love and acknowledgment to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy. I am honored! I would like to pass this award to some really amazing folks -
Update on March 22 - This is also my entry for Think Spice-Think Pepper, hosted by Divya Vikram of Dil Se. The Think Spice series was started by Sunita. Thank you both!

a new coin of phrase used to describe someone who has been caught naked on stage and/ or has almost flashed someone.
"You better pull up your pants, unless you want to pull a Daniel Radcliffe."

Yes Daniel Radcliffe is spelled with and e at the end. He's a cool and talented actor who's gettting hotter and hotter and hotter... Can't wait till Nov. 18!!!! Daniel Radcliffe is going to be awesome!!!
Now a guy like Dan, he's trophy! Seriously, Daniel Radcliffe you should not give up!
by Hermy G September 28, 2005
He is a very good actor (for all those Daniel Radcliffe haters) he is also very hot! He doesnt just act as Harry, he is going to be in a movie called December Boys, which is the opposite of the Harry Potter role.This move will help people to see him as capable of playing other roles, so he won't get typecast. He's very good with emotion too.
Hermione: Harry?
Harry (Daniel Radcliffe): He was my parents best friend (tears) and he BETRAYED them!!

His accent is real, to all you choads who think he's fake. Young Harry Potter actor who is making a bg name for himself by adding bizzare roles to his filmography. He's seems rather nice and he's cute. Teenies love him, but most fans make fun of his goofy hair
Daniel Radcliffe would be ograsmic...if his hair was longer
by CrimsionLight October 24, 2006
Handsome boy, great actor, who gets into Harry.
He is the best among the Emma and Rupert.
He got many nomination for his acting avility, he will not be typecast, he is way to handsome not to be in another movie.

Daniel Radcliffe is handsome, gorgeous and very charismatic.
by Karin_2005 April 03, 2006
He isn't so "conventionally" handsome, but he has something (a BIG something) about him that makes girls swoon. His charm, his accent, his humor, his friendliness, his talent, his down-to-Earthness make him what a lot of women crave. He really does have great looks, and he is an amazingly sexy guy, though he is not the typical kind of sexy, which is what I love. He is something different. Though, he still is a sex God. He is quirky and really interesting. Daniel is an immensely talented actor, who is mostly known for his portrayal of Harry Potter. He starred in the play Equus in London and Broadway and was absolutely brilliant in it, proving that he can be versatile in his roles.
If you want to find out more about Daniel Radcliffe, you should watch some of his interviews on YouTube.
by Viva Lumos! August 15, 2009
The hott british actor that not only plays Harry Potter but is also in a movie called december boys,he is also in a play called eqqus.Not only is he VERY talented but he is SOOOOOOOO gorgeus,hott and sexxy!!He's sweet and kind.

HUNTINGDON - From 113 to 160 in a clash of once-beaten rivals, Huntingdon went 5-3 in eight bouts where points were given up grudgingly. Every bout but one was decided by two points or less.
The problem for the Bearcats, however, were the other five contested bouts.
The Trojans recorded pins in all five from their talented upperweights, including two to begin the dual meet and three to end it, to beat the Bearcats, 39-16, Tuesday night before a large crowd.
"There's definitely some areas we need to improve," Mount Union coach Corey Wertz said. "But, hey, we'll take care of that tomorrow. A win is a win. I thought the guys wrestled pretty decent, and they went after bonus points. That was the key. I thought we could win every match from 145 up, and I knew the other ones would be close matches."
"We were good in spots," Huntingdon coach Jon Mykut said. "We couldn't stay off our backs, and, obviously, that was the difference. The bottom line is they're good, and they've got hammers up top. They were able to maximize their points up top. We knew it would be close through the middle. Our kids are quality kids too."
The Trojans hiked their record to 14-1, while the Bearcats fell to 8-2.
The match started with Philip Kyle's 16-second pin of Tyler Wholaver at 220. At 285, Nikolas Smith took Lucas Cites down to his back in the second period of a scoreless bout and got the fall in 3:01.
Mykut chose to move once-beaten freshman Collin Glorioso up from 106, where he would have gotten a forfeit, to 113, where he faced another Off The Mat-ranked wrestler in Sage Moist.
After a scoreless first period - the second of five in the meet - Glorioso nearly reversed in the second, but Moist rode him the entire period. Moist took Glorioso down near the edge of the mat with 54 seconds left in the bout and rode the rest of the way for a 2-0 win.
"We just felt [moving him up] was something we had to do win the match," Mykut said. "Collin wrestled well against a very good, quality wrestler. The kid got a reshot takedown in the third period, but other than that, it was nip and tuck the whole way."
At 120, MU's Tyler Foor scored the opening takedown of Matt Wilson, but the Bearcat reversed in the second and scored two nearfall points in the third to win, 4-2.
Bearcats 126-pounder Devon Green made a second-period reversal and tough riding in the third stand in a 2-1 win over Jake Boozel. Green's teammate, Nathan Russell, took Kord Aurand down twice en route to a 4-2 win at 132.
At 138, Huntingdon's Jon Wagner had no problem scoring points on Robbie Steel, scoring four in the first and in the second and adding six more in the third to earn a 14-4 major decision.
The 145-pound bout between Mount Union's Tyler Long and Huntingdon's Eric Lynn appeared to be headed to overtime tied at 3-3, but Long escaped with .2 seconds left on the clock to win, 5-3.
"He just left off the pressure," Mykut said. "He let his hips come up and got a little sloppy at the end."
Bearcat 152-pounder Logan Fisher broke a 2-2 tie with Jeremy Hess in the third period by tilting Hess for two back points with 30 seconds left to win, 4-2.
"Our kids wrestled really well through the middle," Mykut said.
After MU's Dylan Smith edged Matt Norris, 3-1, the Trojans pulled away with the pins. Cory Kylor, Darrian Stapleton and Devon Kylor earned pins in the final three weights to close out the meet.
"The bottom line is we've got to get better up top," Mykut said. "We can't give up six points the way we were giving up tonight if we're able to do anything in the postseason as a team."
The Trojans, whose only loss was to West Branch (40-21), and the Bearcats could meet again in the District 6 Duals.
"They have a good team," Wertz said. "It's very possible we might see them again near the end of the month. We've just got to work to improve."
220-Kyle, MU, pinned Wholaver, :16; 285-Smith, MU, pinned Cites, 3:01; 106-No bout; 113-Moist, MU, dec. Glorioso, 2-0; 120-Wilson, H, dec. Foor, 4-2; 126-Green, H, dec. Boozel, 2-1; 132-Russell, H, dec. Aurand, 4-2.
138-Wagner, H, maj. dec. Steel, 14-4; 145-Long, MU, dec. Lynn, 5-3; 152-Fisher, H, dec. Hess, 4-2; 160-Smith, MU, dec. M. Norris, 3-1; 170-C. Kylor, MU, pinned Rupert, 1:36; 182-Stapleton, MU, pinned Gallagher, 1:07; 195-D. Kylor, MU, pinned Laurer, 2:46.
Records: Mount Union (14-1); Huntingdon (8-2).
Referee: Aaron Gustkey.
JV: Mount Union, 15-0.

XKB and Xmodmap
First, I must say that Linux (Unix) uses two approaches to configure the keyboard layout (they are both independent of each other): XKB and Xmodmap. XKB is an extension of X, many people say that it is better, but too robust and perhaps less understandable by beginners. Xmodmap is one of the oldest ways how to configure your keyboard layouts – a little easier approach, especially good for experimentation, but no only that.

Now, Lindsay Lohan, who has been known to face some battles of her own, is assaying the role of the violet-eyed, little-girl-voiced beauty who captured the hearts of millions, to say nothing of that of the lusty Welshman who could always act rings around his costars. (Watch the trailer below.)
Just how well LiLo comes off as La Liz, and True Blood's Grant Bowler as Dick, can be sampled in a 30-second trailer for the Lifetime TV movie Liz & Dick.
The finished film will air this November, while the trailer officially makes its TV bow during Sunday night's Emmys.
But, for now, amid the commercial's claims that the subjects of the biopic were "infamous," "scandalous" and dangerous," and that the film itself is "television's biggest event," here is a peek at Lohan as Taylor and Bowler as Burton.
What do you think?

On Sunday, the on-again couple took their romance to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens, where they spent time visiting the sea otters, elephants and other animals for a few hours.
"They were super cute together," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. On Friday, the duo had a romantic meal at Mastro's and afterwards caught a showing of Think Like a Man Too.
It remains to be seen how long the reunion will last – since initially splitting in November 2012, Gomez, 21, and Bieber, 20, have been on-and-off several times – but a source says the singer has been nothing but a gentleman this time around.
"Justin's extremely doting on her, and there hasn't been one second where he hasn't been touchy-feely and sweet with her," says the insider. "They're pretty inseparable and very affectionate."

Philippi Main Street will sponsor its second Art Stroll for the community from 5 to 8 p.m. April 26 throughout downtown.
"Because we had such a positive reaction to our first Art Stroll last summer, we want to offer this event again to Philippi," Philippi Main Street Director Tammy Stemple said in a news release.
Committee members are currently calling for local artists who want to exhibit their works. Any interested artist can contact Stemple at 304-457-3700, ext. 226, or Karen Larry, Art Stroll volunteer, at 304-457-3773 for details. There is no registration fee for artists to exhibit.

Strollers enjoy the art work of Sarah Ferguson's art students during the 2011 Art Stroll.
Besides calling for artists, Main Street also is asking downtown businesses to host exhibits. It anticipates many of the same businesses that hosted the Art Stroll last year to again serve as exhibit sites and organizers are in the process of lining up both those and additional exhibit sites. Local business owners also can call Stemple or Larry to offer their locations as exhibit sites.
"We plan to top last year's 200 plus strollers this year," Stemple said. "We thank the public school system for its involvement again this year and look forward to engaging many more artists."

Tree attempted near complete recreation of the original settings and costumes of the events in the script, as in this scene at Cardinal Wolsey's Feast. The cast numbered 172 performers, and the stage was dazzlingly over-lighted - intended according to Tree "to put upon the stage as gorgeous and complete a picture as the resources of the theatre could supply." (Tree, Thoughts, 61). He succeeded according to the reviewer "Modred" in Playgoer and Society Illustrated II.12:
"The meeting of Anne Bullen and the King in the great hall of Wolsey's Palace - a magnificent bit of stage architecture - is an opportunity for a great spectacular display, and the scene is prolonged with feasting, singing and dancing. Once the King has dlscarded the shepherd's costume, in which he enters along with the other maskers who claim the hospitality of the Cardinal, he is soon engaged in the pursuit of Anne, to which he addresses himself without any restraint, whilst Wolsey, silent and pensive, looks on frowningly."
The production was filmed in 1911 and led the way for subsequent Tudor-costume screen epics. For a close-up of the extraordinary costumes of Anne and Henry in this scene, see the picture at the end of "Publications" under "About Us." Other Henry VIII pictures are at Gallery 3.33-36, Gallery 6.26, and Gallery 9.17-24. HMR

DELAND, Fla. -- Due to the heavy rain the central Florida area has had during the past two days, Saturday's scheduled matches with Kennesaw State have been postponed until Sunday, Mar. 30th.
The women were originally supposed to take on the Owls at 10 a.m., at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, while the men were due to take to the courts at 2 p.m., versus KSU.
Instead both matches will take place at the same times, but a day later in order to let the courts dry out and recover from all the rain.
The new Sunday schedule is as follows:
Mar. 30 @ 10 a.m. - Stetson (Women) vs. Kennesaw State
Mar. 30 @ 2 p.m. - Stetson (Men) vs. Kennesaw State
Both the men's and women's teams defeated Mercer (4-0) and (5-0) in rain shortened matches on Friday. The Hatter men stand at 6-8 on the year and 2-2 in the A-Sun, while the women are 11-5 and 2-2 in the conference heading into Sunday's contests.
Live results will be available for all home matches via gohatters.com . Fans can also follow @StetsonTennis on Twitter and sign up for Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system for match updates.

HK Army teased the release of the KLR goggles at World Cup 2013 and we just saw them again at Paintball Extravaganza 2014 a few weeks ago. They are available for pre-order right now and they should be shipping out very soon.
The KLR spent four years in the development stage with HK Army consistently claiming that they would be the "most technically advanced goggle system ever released in the sport of paintball." When it comes to style, visual appeal, and customization, HK Army's innovative claims might be right. The KLR has a sleek profile and list of customization features that dominate other goggles on the market right now.
PVT Lock System
HK Army's PVT Lock System is the soul of the new mask. The KLR is the first goggle system designed to incorporate a completely interchangeable lens, strap, and hinge that can be easily switched out and customized in seconds. HK's patent-pending PVT lock is easy to use. To switch out the lens you simply unclip the strap, open the strap-retained PVT lock hinges, replace the lens and clip the PVT lock hinges back in place.
One of the best elements of the PVT lock system is color and lens customization. There are 10 total lens options for every situation, 15 different strap colors, and 16 PVT lock color options. Between the different color straps, masks, hinges and lenses you can create over 15,000 unique combinations. Aesthetically, the KLR is one of the most advanced goggles we have seen.
3D Memory Foam
The foam system HK uses contains the layers. At the base of the mask is a high-density SBR memory foam designed to absorb impacts. This is where most goggle systems stop. On top of this foam layer, is an open-cell EVA foam that matches the contours of the user, improving overall fit. Both layers are covered by the third layer—a velvet microfiber liner engineered to absorb sweat and insulate to prevent fogging. The foam system is
The EVA form earpiece (KLR soft-ear) helps protect the outer and inner ear from impacts and mask abrasion. Other mask systems have attempted to integrate earpiece foam into their designs, but the KLR is one of the only goggles that does it while maintaining a high level of comfort and a low profile.
Additional Features
Customization is where the HK KLR goggle system shines, but all of the other features you would expect are still there. The lenses are made of a dual-paned UV and infrared shielded composite (they block wavelengths of light that cause eye damage and provide glare resistance). The overmolded face shield is a dual density thermoplastic elastomer (a fancy name for rubberized plastic). A complex ventilation system promotes breathability and the overall design offers a wide freedom of movement.
The KLR is a well designed mask that HK Army spend years developing. At just under $125 for basic colors, it is a little expensive. In our opinion, it's totally worth it. There aren't many masks on the market that can match the KLR's customization options, comfort and style. Pre-order yours now because once your see these in action you're going to order it anyway.

Meet Ethan Sattler, 13 Years Old, White House Reporter
Perhaps no reporter faced more scrutiny from guards at the White House gate Monday morning than Ethan Sattler.
Mr. Sattler, 13 years old, does not have a driver's license. His Virginia child ID card lists his height at 4 feet 3 inches — he's grown a foot since it was issued — and odds are, you've never heard of his blog, metnews.biz. (He launched it last week.)
But as the youngest member of the inauguration press corps Monday, the precocious Mr. Sattler offered that latest example that in the Internet age, Washington's political coverage is no longer restricted to the national media.
More In Inauguration
Back in November, the blonde-haired middle school student set up a limited liability corporation and declared it a news organization, according to Virginia state records. President Barack Obama's press office then granted his request for a day pass to cover the inauguration from the White House briefing room. He plans to spend the day observing how the press covers a major news event.
His first take: Things are less glamorous than they appear on TV.
"It seems when you're bombarded by the infotainment of modern journalism you think there's something going on every second of every day," Mr. Sattler said Monday morning as a few reporters and photographers stretched out in briefing room chairs. "Right now, there isn't."
Regardless, the day will not be a total wash for the 13-year-old.
Kia Baskerville, a producer for CBS News, said she was so impressed by the aspiring scribe that she wanted to offer him an internship — when he is in college.

Governor's lip service won't help city schools
When Gov. Andrew Cuomo left Buffalo the other day, he forgot to leave "Sorry I missed you" door notes at our schools. The kind that politicians leave in between the screen and storm doors when they are campaigning and either no one is home or those at home refuse to answer their doors to yet another politician offering up empty promises.
Of all the public schools in our city, Cuomo chose to speak at the school where he was probably most comfortable. The school that is least representative of the Buffalo public education experience. City Honors is undoubtedly the Queen City's shining star; the school that puts Buffalo on the map. His appearance there was not a coincidence. He is the most powerful man in New York State. He gets to travel where he wants to, and his staff never picks a venue without weighing the pros and cons of that backdrop.
Buffalo's public education system is in dire straits and needs leadership, not lip service, to fix the many and varied problems. Recently Cuomo said he was our student lobbyist in chief. He must understand how Buffalo public education is in need of improvement – after all, his education commissioner dispatched a distinguished educator to provide an on-the-ground report. Did Cuomo read that report?
Perhaps the governor simply doesn't consider us an important enough constituency to spend time with because he and his administration already know we are unable to deliver huge campaign donations or the blocs of votes that other regions can. But he cannot dispute the fact that Buffalo remains the second-largest city in the Empire State. If his "NY Rising" ad campaign is supposed to be more than a public relations stunt, Buffalo must rise as well. Without effective public and charter schools in Buffalo, where exactly does the workforce come from to fill all those new jobs his administration promises to create?

The James Andrews Memorial Scholarship is funded annually by his daughter, Sally James McKenzie. James Andrews taught at Springfield High School, retired, and then resumed worked as a substitute teacher. In his substituting, he found that students who were not in the highest English classes were not exposed to the arts. Mr. Andrews was hired to teach Faulkner, Hemmingway, and Shakespeare. He often told his students, "Art and humor make life bearable." This scholarship is intended to help the average, blue-collar worker taking a class in the arts – whether as part of major or for personal fulfillment.
