From the World Health Organization:
"Sex" refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women.
"Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.
To put it another way:
"Male" and "female" are sex categories, while "masculine" and "feminine" are gender categories.
So we should be saying we are finding out the "sex" of our baby/babies, not the "gender". Just my little piece of education for the day.

Seeds and Food Sovereignty in Europe and beyond
Many people talk about Seeds and Food Sovereignty these days. The way I understand this, it is or includes the right to grow the varieties we choose and share their seeds unrestricted. The right to grow our own food. The kind of food we choose. And by doing so, also preserve these varieties. Some of them have been with man since the dawn of agriculture. Many of them are hardier and more resistent than the ones modern industrial breeding has come up with recently. Usually they are also better adapted to the local conditions they used to be grown under.
Yes, they often lack uniformity and are therefore less easy to market and trade at a large scale.
Prevailing legislations have increasingly imposed restrictions onto these genuine strains and varieties, mainly by their whitelist approach to permissable seed distribution. Whatever is registered on the list is permitted, everything else is outlawed. Genuine strains and varieties do not enjoy industrial sponsorship and therefore do usually not get registered. So, they become outlawed.
Had they not been with man for centuries or even millenia there would be nobody here to pass or not pass any law!
There is also an open letter to european officials, signed by many organisations and individuals, You may want to read and, possibly, sign it.(before May,2nd 2012, www.seedforall.org )
Now, two things come into my mind.
The one thing is a vague memory of having been taught at school that the people, the citizen, hold the power.
No, I'm not getting into this. Just for the record.
The other thing is the fact that rights and liberties are gained and retained by exercising them. We all should start to grow some of our food, and be it only a single parsley plant in a pot at the window sill. It doesn't matter.
We all should make very informed choices about what we grow and how. And we should exchange and share our seeds whenever possible.
Man has only the rights he can defend.
And man deserves only the rights he is willing to stand up for and exercise.

Teeming and charmingly disjointed, Manila is the most densely populated city in the world. Divided into six legislative and 16 geographical districts, influenced by the Spanish, Chinese, British and American, and devastated by World War II, the Filipino capital suffers from an identity crisis.
Industrialisation is as evident as age-old traditions; futuristic shopping complexes overshadow ancient marketplaces; Roman Catholics outweigh followers of Asian spirituality; while modern museums attract as many visitors as 15th-century forts.
Diverse, multicultural, and cosmopolitan, Manila is rich in heritage and culture, and home to hospitable locals.
Population: Approx. 1.66 million
Area: 38.55km2
Time Zone: GMT +8
Languages: Filipino (official)
Currency: Phillipine Peso (PHP)ma
Electricity: 220V 60Hz
Manila experiences a tropical climate with high humidity levels year round. Temperatures are fairly warm throughout the year, rarely dipping below 20°C or rising above 38°C. The city is not popular with tourists between June and November, as the wet season brings typhoons and flooding.
Name: Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)
Location: On the border between Pasay City and Parañaque City in Metro Manila
Airport Transport
Hire Cars: Rentals are available with our suppliers at mate's rates. Book your car hire and save.
Taxi: Airport taxi services are located outside the Arrivals Area. A set fare can be negotiated before departing the airport. The most affordable transport option is the city taxi service, located outside the Departures Area.

Manila plates up a diverse range of local and international cuisines and vibrant nightlife and entertainment scenes. No matter the budget or desire, Manila offers a plate to please all palates.
The city's former red light district, Ermita today showcases some of the best bars, pubs, cafes, bistros, and nightclubs that Manila has to offer. Gastronomic highlights include lechon (spit-roasted pig with liver sauce) and adobo (chicken or pork in a garlic, vinegar and soy sauce) – which is widely referred to as the national dish of the Philippines.
The Malate area is another dining hotspot, home to an exciting mix of cheap and cheerful and classy and chic eateries. The area's casinos, discothèques, and entertainment lounges offer unique and fun dining opportunities.
Manila's Binondo enclave (the oldest Chinatown in the world) boasts a huge range of Chinese eateries and restaurateurs. Everything traditional mami (noodle soup), tikoy (sticky rice cakes) and siapao (steamed buns), to exotic Chinese specialities like shark's fin can be enjoyed in the area.
Shopping is a national pastime in the Philippines. The country's love of spending a peso is most apparent in the capital Manila, where locals and visitors are spoilt for choice with an abundance of malls, markets and discount stores.
Modern shopping opportunities abound, as Manila is home to a number of 'supermalls'. SM City Manila, Robinsons Place Manila and SM City San Lazaro are three of the city's most renowned supermalls, home to department stores, supermarkets, cinemas and food courts.
In a welcome contrast, Manila also offers a number of exciting shopping experiences for adventurous spenders. Located in San Nicolas, Divisoria is one of the city's oldest shopping markets, and is a great place to bag a bargain. An expansive marketplace that operates into the night, the market is abuzz with around-the-clock activity, but is also a popular haunt for pickpockets – visitors are warned to keep their belongings in sight. Quiapo is another hotspot for thrifty shoppers, selling traditional Filipino arts and crafts at rock-bottom prices. Nearby, Binondo is home to Manila's Chinatown and the centre of trade for Filipino-Chinese merchants, selling exotic ingredients and unusual medicines – such as dried snake, deer horn, and bird's nest – among talismans, good luck charms, and other peculiarities.

A Catholic school principal wrote a letter to the parents of eighth-graders about a student not returning to their school, and she asked them to pray for the child.
Naming the student in the letter, it turns out, was also asking for trouble.
The student's parents have filed a $750,000 defamation lawsuit against Mary Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School in Cheektowaga and the principal, saying the letter led to "a scandalous smear campaign carried out by the eighth-grade parents."
The student, who attended the school until Dec. 2, 2011, has unspecified medical issues that "occasioned certain behavior at school," according to the State Supreme Court lawsuit.
The principal on Dec. 5, 2011, "discharged her from the school" and sent a letter to the parents of eighth-graders about "this young lady's discharge," the lawsuit said.
"The school intimated that she was untrustworthy and unable to attend this Catholic school in an ordinary academic setting and that there was some special school that she needed to attend based on her character and fitness," according to the lawsuit.
The Buffalo News is not identifying the child because of her age and medical issues.
So what did Mary Queen of Angels Principal MaryAlice Bagwell write?
"Mary Queen of Angels Catholic School is no longer able to meet the educational needs of [student's full name]. Msgr. Kevin and I feel that [student's first name] needs an educational setting that can serve her more effectively than Mary Queen of Angels. We ask that you please keep [student's first name] and the [student's last name] family in your prayers," she wrote, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit does not identify the full name of the monsignor mentioned in the letter.
Monsignor Kevin T. O'Neill served as canonical administrator of Mary Queen of Angels in 2011, according to a Catholic Diocese of Buffalo publication.
"There is no merit to the lawsuit, and a motion to dismiss has been filed," diocesan spokesman Kevin A. Keenan said in an emailed statement.
State Supreme Court Justice Diane Devlin is scheduled to hear the dismissal motion Feb. 14.
Michael J. Stachowski, a lawyer who represents the parents, declined to discuss the case but said more troubling facts will be revealed as the case progresses.
On Dec. 21, the student's mother received a text message from a school parent at a school basketball game who overheard other adults speculating about why the girl left the school, according to the lawsuit.
The speculation included talk of sex, drugs and punching the principal.
"This letter prompted the parents of other students to talk … and placed credence on scandalous, false rumors," according to the lawsuit.
"While the school knew of the medical reasons for [her] conduct, the letter … resulted in a scandalous campaign carried out by the eighth-grade parents," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit mentioned – without providing details – an incident in which police were called to the school during school hours to escort her out of a room "when she was merely sitting in the hallway having a medical and emotional incident," according to the lawsuit.
During the fall of 2011, the student had "various health problems which occasioned some episodes of behavior at the school," according to the lawsuit.
The student attended the school regularly and achieved "satisfactory academic performance," the lawsuit said.
The student's parents did not give the school their permission to send the letter to the other school parents, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed in the Erie County Clerk's Office on Dec. 4, said the child has been held up to "public contempt, disgrace and ridicule and has suffered great mental pain and anguish."
The parents' reputations, too, have been gravely impaired, according to the lawsuit.
The parents are seeking $250,000 in actual damages and $500,000 in punitive damages, according to the lawsuit.

MARTINSBURG - Drug overdose deaths attributed to heroin in West Virginia in 2012 tripled compared to just five years ago and the state saw a 53 percent increase in heroin overdose-related deaths last year compared to 2011, according to statistics released by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Health Statistics Center.
In the Eastern Panhandle, both Berkeley and Morgan counties saw increases in the number of deaths caused by the dangerously addictive drug in 2012 compared to 2011, while the number of deaths in Jefferson County remained the same.
Between 2007 and 2012, the state's health statistics center in Charleston reported that a total of 240 deaths were caused by heroin overdoses through the state, increasing from a total of 22 in 2007 to 66 in 2012.
Berkeley County has seen a total of 48 deaths, Jefferson County saw a total of 14 deaths and Morgan County was listed as having seven heroin overdose deaths in that same time period, according to the health statistics center .
In Berkeley County, the statistics center attributed just one death to a fatal heroin overdose in 2007. By last year, the number had increased to 13. Jefferson County saw its highest number of heroin overdose deaths in 2008 and 2010, when four deaths were directly attributed to heroin, but the number dropped to just one in 2012. Morgan County saw just one heroin overdose death recorded in 2011, which increased to three last year. The county is already on track to meet or exceed last year's number of heroin overdose deaths after two people died last week alone from fatal heroin overdoses, according to local law enforcement officials.
The numbers provided by the state's statistics center are based on overdose mortality data between 2007 and 2012 in West Virginia where heroin was involved. Data for the years 2011 and 2012 is preliminary and unpublished, and those numbers are subject to change before the data is final, Tom Light, a spokesperson for the statistics center, said.
The statistics provided pertain to occurrence data, meaning the deaths specifically occurred in West Virginia. At least one unnamed local law enforcement official, whose primary duties involve drug interdiction in the Eastern Panhandle, said that the numbers reported appear to much lower than those deaths suspected to be caused by heroin overdoses.
Light explained the number of deaths was based on deaths wherein the underlying cause of death was reported to be specifically due to heroin on death certificates.
"They're overdose deaths. Now, that has nothing to do with, say, maybe they were killed in a car accident or something like that and they found a certain drug in their system," said Light. "The overdose is the underlying cause of death...That had to be the main cause of death on what's listed on the death certificate. Any natural causes of death, such as cardiac arrest or anything like that, those numbers that I gave you do not equal deaths."
The numbers of deaths wherein heroin may have been suspected of being a contributing factor, or wherein heroin was found in toxicology tests but was not listed as the primary cause of death, are not included in the data. Deaths wherein the underlying cause is listed as a drug overdose, but the drug that caused the overdose is not specified on death certificates, are also not included in the data provided.
"Overall the total number of drug-related deaths that occur in West Virginia week to week, we don't know exactly for sure on that," Light said.
Berkeley County Sheriff Kenneth "Kenny" Lemaster Jr. said just one heroin overdose death is too many for any community.
"I feel like we have a lot of heroin oversdoses. One is is too many for me, but at the same time can I prove it any better than they can? No, because we get the same reports," said Lemaster. "Most of my guys will sit there and say, yeah, we got heroin here laying beside them and they are dead, but the cause of death is I guess what they go by as far as statistically."
Lemaster said the department does receive many calls related to possible overdoses related to heroin, as well as death-related calls where there are implications that heroin or drug use may have been involved, but he said he wasn't sure what the exact numbers are or if they are reflected in state-produced statistics.
Lemaster said the problem is not overwhelming, but it's progressing to be a more a regular occurrence in Berkeley County.
"It's not like we had two this week and 10 last week, but it does seems like there seems to be an upturn of it," he said.
In Jefferson County, in both 2011 and 2012, the health statistics center reported only one death specifically due to a heroin overdose. Jefferson County Sheriff Pete Dougherty said the low number could possibility be attributed to another cause of death being listed as the primary cause of death, such as cardiac arrest or another health-related cause, even though the use of heroin may have contributed or was suspected to have contributed to it.
"I would certainly say that it may have been a contributing factor in other deaths. I think you are probably safe to say that it probably is a contributing factor in other deaths, but from my side it's probably more an issue of it's an ongoing concern to local law enforcement, this illegal drug use that continues to go on," Dougherty said.
Even with only one reported death due to a heroin overdose, Dougherty said it's not an insignificant problem in Jefferson County or the Eastern Panhandle.
"It is an issue that law enforcement is paying attention to and closely working on," Dougherty said.
Morgan County Sheriff Vincent Shambaugh said Morgan County only usually has a handful of heroin-related deaths per year, but any such death is considered significant given the county's small size.
"I'm by far the smallest county. I only have 18,000 residents, but when you lose two young people in a week's time it's a very tragic event for a county of this size," said Shambaugh. "I'd like to think we've curbed it somewhat, but it's an impossible thing to eradicate completely."

The anonymous group or groups trying to influence the Buffalo School Board election may be creating a new low in the coarseness of local politics, but at least one observer is predicting the efforts could produce a backlash.
Although no one has taken responsibility for the pricey mailers that continue targeting select candidates ahead of Tuesday's elections, speculation remains rife that one or more well-funded unions are behind them.
And the state teachers union – which previously denied any involvement – now won't deny it is sending them.
"You should know after the election," said Mike Deely, regional director of the New York State United Teachers union, which claims 600,000 members statewide.
The mailers attack candidates opposed by the Buffalo Teachers Federation and endorse some they support. They're all printed and sent out by Atlas Direct Mail, which owns the postal permit number that appears on the back.
"The pieces that are being mailed are some of the ugliest I've ever seen," said Peter Reese, a local attorney versed in election law and election law finance. "What concerns me is, if you create an environment that is so reviling and so disgusting, and so expensive, who are we going to get to run?
"I'm also wondering if there will be a backlash."
Atlas Direct has printed mailings in the past on behalf of unions, including the Service Employees International Union, but this particular client remains a mystery. An executive for the Long Island-based company, citing privacy concerns, refused to reveal the client's identity and isn't obligated to under election law.
Deely, of NYSUT, twice declined to say whether the union was involved with the mailers, backing away from a previous statement when he said that NYSUT "didn't send them out."
"I don't really want to speak about the mailers until after the election," Deely said.
Phil Rumore, president of the Buffalo Teachers Union, said the union "didn't send them out, produce them, approve them or pay for them."
When asked if the union played no role at all in the mailers going out, Rumore said, "I didn't say that," before adding, "I don't know what that means. Did we know something was going out? Yes."
The negative mailers all use candidate Carl Paladino as a whipping boy, mostly raising issues that first flared during his 2010 gubernatorial race.
They refer to emails he forwarded, described as pornographic and racist.
But instead of being sent to homes in the Park District, where Paladino is running, they've been mailed to voters in other district races in a bid to link Paladino with candidates the mailers are targeting for defeat.
The ads have particularly targeted Jason McCarthy, an incumbent running in the North District, and Bryon McIntyre an African-American seeking to oust incumbent Mary Ruth Kapsiak in the Central District, claiming they agree with race-baiting and pornography attributed to Paladino in their joint bid to "take over Buffalo schools."
West District candidate James Sampson, who is running against incumbent Ralph Hernandez, has also been targeted in some of the mailers.
A major, local direct mail company that has handled numerous political mailers for clients throughout the Northeast estimated the cost of these mailers at roughly 33.3 cents per piece, or more than $13,000 per mailing. That 33.3 cents figure includes the printing, mailing services and New York City postage but excludes the additional design fees and markups an agency would charge.
Multiply that figure by the six different mailers that have been received by many voters so far, and the figure pushes the $80,000 mark. That's assuming that the mailers target roughly 40,000 "prime voters" – residents with a track record of voting in local elections – in the contested school districts.
Positive, pro-candidate mailers with the same postal permit number have been sent in support of Kapsiak and Susan Gillick, who along with Wendy Mistretta is running against McCarthy. Neither Gillick nor Kapsiak said they knew who was behind them.
Gillick said the negative mailings trashing Paladino and McCarthy were "not helpful to me, not at all." When asked if she would prefer that the mailers in support of her would stop, she said, "I don't have an opinion on that."
Kapsiak said she had no way to find out who anonymously put the mailer out on her behalf and didn't want to discuss the negative ads being sent against her opponent.
"I am not going to comment on something someone else is doing," Kapsiak said.
McCarthy said his door-to-door campaigning has shown him that the negative ads are working.
"They're just dirty, they're so low," he said. "But people actually believe this stuff, and that's the unfortunate part. You would believe I'm trying to take over the school district?"
It also hurts on a personal level, he said.
"My wife was very upset by the first one. My daughter is too young to read them, but imagine if I had an 8-year-old who could read that I was associated with someone they claim is a pornographer or into bestiality, which they can't even spell correctly."
Paladino – who has generated his share of criticism in the past for what many perceive to be insensitive remarks – also said the mailers had taken a personal toll.
"They haven't mailed it into South Buffalo, and to this day no kid has brought one to school to show my daughter what they're writing about me, and I thank God about it," Paladino said.
"As much as these school union people say they're not involved, I haven't seen any of them denounce it."
However, Rumore said he did take exception to one of the charges leveled against Paladino – that of being an adulterer.
"I would never condone anything like that. I wouldn't say I liked everything else, but I thought that was unacceptable. You don't bring people's family into this stuff, but I don't have any control over that."

William J. Barnes Jr., who killed his girlfriend and her lover more than a quarter of a century ago, still is trying to overturn the results of the trial in which he was convicted of two counts of murder.
Sometime in the new year, Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas is expected to preside over a hearing on the issue of whether Barnes' attorneys withheld word of a plea offer that Barnes says he would have taken. Had he done so, he might have been paroled by now.
But Joseph L. Leone Jr., the only member of the defense team still living, says Barnes was told of the plea offer and turned it down.
The only question in the hearing will be whether Leone's assertion is true, or whether Barnes is telling the truth about the offer, which would have brought him a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in March that under certain circumstances, a defendant who can prove that a plea bargain was concealed from him, that he would have taken it and the court would have accepted it, can have his conviction overturned.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas H. Brandt said the Supreme Court's ruling denied it would open the door for frivolous appeals, but this is the third in Niagara County since the decision came down.
"This the latest argument du jour for defendants convicted of murder," Brandt said.
Barnes has tried to win a new trial four times before. He has never denied that he killed the victims, but he claims to this day he doesn't clearly remember all the details of those fatal moments at about 9 p.m. Jan. 7, 1986, in his apartment at 503 Park Ave., Lockport.
Barnes went to trial in January 1987, a year after he shot Irene L. Bucher, 21, formerly of Pendleton, and William R. Moffitt, 35, of Somerset, with a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun. Both victims were shot twice after Barnes caught them having sex on the floor in front of his living room couch.
The double homicide climaxed a toxic relationship between Barnes and Bucher, who were living together at the time of the homicides. Barnes says he was in love with Bucher and wanted to marry her, but he said Bucher kept sleeping with other men and telling Barnes about it.
Why didn't he just break up with her?
"I've had 27 years to think about that," Barnes, now 50, said during a three-hour interview last week in Wende Correctional Facility in Alden. "She'd turn right around and say, 'I love you, I love you, I love you.' People always say I'm a very naive person, and I guess I still am to a certain degree. … I was looking for someone to love me, I guess you could say."
He attributes this search for love to a harsh upbringing. Barnes said his father, the late William Barnes Sr., was an alcoholic who beat his wife and abused his children physically, emotionally and sexually.
Barnes' brother Douglas had already committed suicide by means of a drug overdose before the killings occurred. His brother Michael, who testified at the trial, died of an overdose in 1996. And a half brother, Bill Sewar, died in a fall from a Lockport railroad trestle a year or two before the killings.
Half an hour before the killings, Barnes went to the apartment and found the door locked, but he heard noises inside. He also had noticed that a car he didn't recognize was parked in his parking space.
Barnes shouted for Bucher, and she refused to let him in, so Barnes broke the door open and found Bucher and Moffitt on the couch straightening their clothing.
According to an account Barnes' mother, Louise, got from her son and related to a Niagara County grand jury, an argument ensued, during which Barnes supposedly said to Irene, "Could you at least take your hand off his leg while I'm talking to you?"
"They both laughed and she moved her hand up higher," Louise Barnes testified.
William Barnes, who had been drinking since that morning, left and headed for the Pot O' Gold bar on West Genesee Street, where his friend and frequent drinking companion, Jeff White, was tending bar. Barnes said he wanted White to join him in going back to the apartment to evict the man who was with Irene, but White was unable to leave because there was no other bartender available.
Barnes went to his parents' home, where he retrieved his old deer-hunting shotgun from a closet. Police later said they found a box of shotgun shells and the shotgun in Barnes' car after his arrest that night. They also found the word "Irene" stencilled on the passenger-side door.
The highly intoxicated Barnes drove back to Park Avenue, where he ended two lives and ruined his own.
"I wish I'd been pulled over for DWI," he said last week.
Drunkenness was nothing new for Barnes, who said he started drinking when he was 12. He left Lockport High School in 10th grade – "There was an option, quit or be expelled," he told prosecution psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lynch – as he was usually absent because he was drinking and otherwise misbehaving.
After being granted youthful offender status on a vehicle and traffic conviction in 1979, Barnes moved to Florida. He didn't stay long, as he was arrested for having sex with a 14-year-old girl in a parked school bus.
Barnes was allowed to plead guilty to trespassing on the condition that he leave Florida for a year. Authorities took him to the Fort Myers airport and put him on a plane to Buffalo.
Back in Lockport, Barnes was arrested in the fall of 1982 for driving drunk in a friend's car he had taken without permission. He pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Barnes worked as an auto mechanic at several different Lockport shops. On Jan. 9, 1986, he was scheduled to take a test at Niagara County Community College, hoping to be admitted to a criminal-justice program. He said he went to the apartment at about 8:30 p.m. Jan. 8, planning to grab some paperwork he would need the next day at NCCC.
Barnes said last week that upon his return at about 9 p.m., he saw the apartment was dark, but the stranger's car was still parked outside. Letting himself into the darkened flat, by the light coming in from the hallway, he saw Moffitt atop Bucher on the living room floor.
He said it took a few moments before Bucher noticed the light and saw Barnes standing there, shotgun in hand. She and Moffitt stopped what they were doing and scrambled to get dressed.
At this point, the story becomes a bit muddled.
Tammy Potts, the girlfriend of Barnes' brother Michael, testified at the trial that Barnes came to her apartment on Saxton Street right after the shooting, still holding the shotgun, and told her that he shot Moffitt first, then shot Bucker twice, then shot Moffitt again. Barnes said last week that Potts "concocted" that story.
Questioning Barnes after his arrest shortly after midnight in the Best Western Lockport Inn, police said the suspect was "vague and evasive."
But he phoned home at least twice that night before being captured. In fact, he was on the phone in the hotel lobby talking to Louise, his mother, when police surrounded the building, after spotting his car outside.
Louise Barnes told police, "He told me Irene had pushed him too far. … He told me that the guy Irene was laying on the floor with stood up and told William to get out of the house or he would throw him out and have him arrested. William then told me that he shot the both of them."
William Barnes Sr. told the grand jury that in a jailhouse visit several days later, his son told him that Moffitt said, "Now you are going to jail for this."
"[Moffitt] got up, grabbed for the rifle and pushed it aside and it went off, and [William] does not remember anything after that," the elder Barnes testified.
"I don't think I was doing anything wrong [by going in with a gun]," Barnes said last week, noting it was his home.
Barnes had long claimed that the shotgun went off accidentally during the struggle and the round struck Irene. In last week's interview, he said Moffitt pushed him backwards and the gun discharged when Barnes bumped into the wall.
He said he wasn't sure, but he thought he then fired three times at Moffitt, but one of the shots struck Irene.
"I have no memory of shooting him. It's like somebody fast-forwarded the tape five seconds and I was there holding the gun," Barnes said.
Autopsies showed both victims were shot twice. Moffitt was hit in the left lower chest and the right lower chest, while Bucher was shot in the left upper chest and the left lower abdomen.
Whatever happened, Barnes seems to have realized that his version of an accidental shooting, followed by something approaching blind rage, wasn't going to be believable.
On the night of the crime, "I said, 'Michael, the police are never going to believe me,'" Barnes recalled. "I never wanted this to happen, I just wanted this guy to leave. I told my brother I was just going to end it, I was going to kill myself."
Two days after the killings he tried to hang himself in the Niagara County Jail, and was cut down by two deputies.
There is no question about the existence of the plea offer. The official court minutes say that on Aug, 11, 1986, a pretrial conference was held before County Judge Aldo DiFlorio, although there was no stenographer present. The minutes don't say whether Barnes was there; he says he was not.
"Those [Supreme Court] cases do not say the defendant has to be present for a plea offer," Brandt said. "They say he has to be advised of a plea offer."
Then-First Assistant District Attorney Stephen A. Shierling allegedly offered Leone and his colleague, the late Robert A. Rotundo, a plea deal of one count of second-degree murder and one count of manslaughter with a recommendation for concurrent sentencing, resulting in a term of 25 years to life in prison for Barnes. If that had happened, he would have been eligible for a parole hearing in 2010.
The defense attorneys made a counteroffer of 20 years on the murder and five to 15 years on the manslaughter, with the sentences to run consecutively. It would have meant the certainty that Barnes would be released someday, but Judge DiFlorio vetoed that. He said he would consider the prosecution's sentencing suggestion, however.
Leone said in an interview, "Basically, he was offered a plea of 25 to life. I suggested to my client that he accept that plea offer. He rejected it."
Barnes says Leone never told him of the offer. and he obtained an affidavit from his mother, who said her son never told her of a plea offer during any of their jail visits before the trial in January 1987.
On Sept. 4, 1986, Barnes wrote a letter to Leone, which was received at the Public Defender's Office four days later, according to a date stamp on the document.
"I am very worried about going to trial," Barnes wrote. "How can we prove that I only got my gun because I was scared and only wanted Moffitt to leave? How can we prove the gun went off accidentally because of him? … Can you tell the judge and DA that I'm willing to cop out to manslaughter – and if they won't go for that, tell them I'll take anything as long as it is not more than 25 to life, OK?"
Even though that is precisely the plea offer that Shierling made – the one Leone says Barnes rejected – Barnes said it's just a coincidence. He claimed that at a Sept. 11, 1986, pretrial hearing, Leone told him there was no plea offer.
"I never try to force a client one way or another. It's his life and his choice," Leone said. "I remember William Barnes was a very young man. We tried to get a better plea. We wanted a manslaughter plea, but the DA's office just wouldn't budge on it."
"I think I have more proof than he does. He has a vested interest in not admitting his ineffectiveness," Barnes said.
After a five-day trial and 2 1/2 hours of deliberation, the jury found Barnes guilty of two counts of second-degree murder. DiFlorio sentenced him to 50 years to life: two 25-to-life terms, consecutively.
In 2001, attorney Mark J. Mahoney presented a motion to set aside Barnes' conviction on the grounds that Leone and Rotundo were ineffective, but the motion was rejected.
Barnes isn't eligible for a parole hearing until 2035, when he will be 73.
"I have a death sentence. I'm going to die in prison," Barnes said. He said he's been having heart trouble for the past five years.
Barnes said he has tried to be a good inmate. Housed at Wende since 1995, his cell is in the "honor block" for the most trusted inmates, and he submitted notes from three correction officers who wrote that they think he's unlikely to reoffend.
He says he found God behind bars, was baptized by a clergyman and even got married in 1993 to a "good Christian woman" who met him through a personal ad in the Ithaca newspaper when Barnes was at Auburn Correctional Facility. She died of cancer in 1998, but Barnes still wears his wedding ring.
"All I want is for justice to be done," Barnes said.
Some might say that already happened, such as Farkas, who wrote in 2008, "One shot may be an accidental discharge. Two shots to each chest is an intentional act. Shooting one person may be in self-defense. Shooting both is murder."

Texas Instruments executive talks CES – and the company's future – at CES
A top Texas Instrument Inc. executive today talked about what International CES means at the J.P. Morgan Tech Forum at the Las Vegas expo on opening day.
"CES is an important show for us," Greg Delagi, TI's senior vice president of embedded processing, said in a webcast from the forum. TI's technology at the consumer electronics expo focuses on "how connectivity is being used to connect devices and people, and that's a very exciting trend," he said.
Delagi said TI technology is used in connectivity: BlueTooth low-energy system (to connect watch to smartphone or a Fitbit activity tracker to smartphone); wireless local area network (remotely controlled networks that can add devices at no extra cost); and ZigBee technology and mesh networks (complex networks to connect everything in a large building).
I posted an item this morning about some of the specific technology demonstrations by TI at CES this week.
Delagi also updated TI's planned exit from the baseband and smartphone wireless businesses, saying it has "gone very well, and there isn't a day that passes that I'm not glad that we did that." TI had projected that revenue would decline to zero this year from about $50 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The consensus of the TI's management team overall is for "moderate growth" this year, said TI vice president Dave Pahl, who was also at the J.P. Morgan forum.
"When I spend time out in the market, with customers … I am more excited about the opportunities than I've been in a long time in my 30-year-career," he said. "Semiconductor technology inside of automotive, inside industrial, inside of some of these areas is changing the fundamental way people are solving problems, and I think that's very exciting."

Intel CEO Apologizes for 29% Profit Drop, Promises $150 Atom Tablets

Mobile demand is driving Intel into the low-end chip market, the last place it wants to be
Analysts had hoped [
] that Intel Corp. (
), the world's largest maker of chips for traditional personal computers, would post revenue of $12.9B USD and a profit of $0.40 USD/share ($2.05B USD). Instead the chipmaker
on slow PC sales, posting a net income/profit of $0.39 USD/share ($2.00B USD) on revenue of $12.8B USD.
I. Intel CEO Admits to Mistakes
The miss might seem small, but for investors it was very unsettling.
The sentiment is that while Intel may be profitable for now, the company missed the major direction the market is heading towards: mobile devices. Profit slid 30 percent in a year and analysts are wondering if that trend will continue, leaving Intel in dire shape in just a couple more years. Driving this slide is the trend towards
cheap tablets (hybrid tablets/laptops) and smartphones
are cannibalizing
traditional PC sales.
Brian Krzanich, Intel CEO [Image Source: AP]
Needless to say, it was a touch quarter for Intel's
new chief executive, Brian M. Krzanich
. In an earnings call he offered up a
mea culpa
of sorts, stating:
Intel was slow to respond to the ultramobile PC trends. The traditional PC market segment is down from our expectations at the beginning of the year, while ultramobile devices like tablets are up... At the end of the day, the market will go where the market goes. We've not always lived up to the standards we've set for ourselves.
In the call, he promised lower price points for chips and cheaper devices -- particularly on the low end.
II. $150 USD Tablets With Intel Processors? Intel CEO Promises Big
Key to that effort will be the upcoming sixth major release to the Atom platform. Manufactured on the latest
22 nm node the quad-core tablet-geared Atoms
; SoC:
; chipset:
Bay Trail
) are expected to be shipping in tablets and hybrid notebook/tablets this holiday season.
Mr. Krzanich boldly predicted the following price points:
Convertibles (hybrids)
Laptops (w/ touch)
The big question is whether these devices will be appealing customers. Some $200 USD and lower tablets -- namely, Google, Inc.'s
Nexus 7
-- have received good reviews. But current Intel tablets have been priced much higher (for example the
Iconia W3
Acer Inc. (
) at $379 USD) yet earned worse reviews.
A big question is how low Intel is willing to go on chip pricing. Intel typically has charged much higher rates per chip than ARM chipmakers, citing
the processing power of its chips
Intel would rather customers buy pricier
based tablets/convertibles, but may be forced to turn to budget models. [Image Source: Intel]
But ultimately the CPU is proving less critical to the tablet experience than other components like the touchscreen, battery, and operating system. A tablet with a less powerful CPU, but a better screen, battery, and OS is often perceived as superior to a tablet with a faster, more expensive CPU but otherwise weaker specs.
This has come to a shock to Intel, which has long put its faith in the philosophy that the fastest chip built on the best process sells.
Intel and its partners will have to make big changes to have any hope of hitting the price points Mr. Krzanich was advertising in the earnings call. Take Acer, for example. It would have to cut $172 USD off the current price of the Iconia W3, which has a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom processor. That's a whopping 47 percent price cut, and one that will surely demand much lower unit prices from Intel.
III. Chromebooks Surge as Intel Struggles to Adjust
If Intel can't hit those prices, it will likely lose more market share. The NPD Group reports that Google shockingly scored
a quarter of the sub-$300 USD laptop market
, capturing about 4 to 5 percent of the market, according to Gartner, Inc. (
Intel does power
one of those Chromebooks
-- the
Acer C710
($220 USD), which packs a Celeron 847 (1.1 GHz dual-core 32 nm
Sandy Bridge
). But the other Chromebook --
Samsung's $250 USD 11.6-inch model
-- packs Samsung's in-house 1.7 GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 processor, which uses an instruction set from ARM Holdings Plc (
). Samsung's model was the #1 top notebook seller on Amazon.com, Inc.'s (
) computers and accessories section and had an average of 4.1/5 stars; the Intel-equipped Acer received 3.3/5 stars and was the #8 top notebook on Amazon.
Acer C7 Chromebook
An Intel-powered Samsung Chromebook at $250 USD might sell at least as well as the current ARM model and is possible, given Intel's efforts to woo Samsung. Intel recently scored a contract to power
a variant of the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1
, which runs Google's Android OS.
But even if Intel can win the low end tablet/notebook/hybrid market with a mix of Atom-based Android and Windows devices, it faces a catch-22; those sales may cannibalize unit sales of higher end, higher margin chips
Intel has never had a penchant for the low margin, low-end processor business, which it left largely to ARM's chipmaking coalition. The fact that it's committing so fully to it now, and even contemplating acting as
a third-party contract fabricator for ARM chips
shows how fearful Intel's leadership is of low-price mobile devices cannibalizing sales of higher-priced traditional PCs.
IV. Process Lead May Be Lost by 2015
The situation could be growing more dire soon as Intel. Samsung has reportedly committed to delivering a
large volume of 14 nm
processors to Apple, Inc. (
) by 2015. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Intel will
shelve its own 14 nm (3D) FinFET rollout
till 2015. Unless Intel surprises or Samsung flinches, this would indicate that for the first time in over a decade Intel might no long have a process lead. That's insult to the injury that the mobile device pickup has dealt Intel.

In the earnings call Mr. Krzanich says that 14 nm will enter mass-production by the end of 2013. This indicates a late H1 or early H2 launch of the 14 nm
may be possible. But even if Intel delivers, Samsung may not be far behind.
Mr. Krzanich insisted in the conference call that the low-priced Atom push wouldn't cannibalize
device sales, instead creating new business. But the reality is that whether it does or not he has no choice -- as he says, "the market will go where the market goes."
A year ago Intel
made $2.8B USD in profit
. This year it made nearly 30 percent less -- $2.0B USD. With PC sales at an all time low, Intel is diving into the shallow waters of low-budget bargain chips -- the last place it wanted to be.

RE: Well if they:
Azure Sky
Azure Sky
you are incorrect, but let me explain why.
1. the 4gb limit isnt what you seem to think, windows counts memory on devices like videocards to that limit as well, it also has a limit to how much of that memory an application can address, under 32bit windows that is 2gb(in some cases less)
2. tablets such as arm based units can get away with less ram because of how programs are coded for them and how memory is managed, long story short, more ram would help them but, not as much as it does with desktops at the moment.....arm went 64bit a while back, just waiting for all the old 32bit arm cpu's to be flushed out of the market.
3. as far as upgrades go, true and untrue.
As a computer tech/IT guy since the mid 90's I can tell you, many people are still fine with quite old systems, those who just email and once in a while type something up, surf a bit, can be fine with a slow old system.
I have clients like that, Infact, over the weekend I wiped an old dell p4 2.8ghz system for a client and upgraded it from 256mb ram to 1gb, then did a clean install of vector linux(and updated it), hes quite happy with it, its more then fast enough for her uses(90% of the time youtube for videos of old music 10% for craigs list and email)
On the other hand, I have a system next to me from another client who does some minor video editing, its an old p4 3.2ghz, already had 2gb ram, hes finely admitted he needs to upgrade, I gave him 3 options, hes decided to go AMD because of price and upgrade path, hes trying to decide between a 6800k and 8320, hes contacted the vendor of his favorite video editing/encoding software to find out what they think would be better for his needs.
hes been struggling along with this p4 and a core2duo laptop (very slow first gen low end c2d, not much faster then the p4) because he just couldnt justify buying anything newer....but after having me run a quick test for him, he about cried when he saw how much faster my system was when limtied to 2 cores vs the p4(that he still insists has 2 cores....LOL)
he also has a nexus 7 tablet and for his email and such its perfect...for other stuff, its not...
Really, if MS had dumped 32bit support with vista it would have been a godsend to the PC industry, 64bit drivers would have matured quicker for vista(biggest problem vista had was systems with to little ram and shitty driver support), it also would have driven application developers to create more 64bit software....
even a slow cpu running 64bit can be faster then cpu's a few steps up running 32bit.
I say this with one very easy example in mind, the 64bit ogg vorbis encoder I use (found on rarewares/hydrogen audio), 32bit versions quite noticeably slower, despite the fact its compiled with the same compiler and the data sets used are quite small in most cases(single songs).
most people with 5+ year old systems could benefit from 64bit windows and a memory upgrade, if the system cant take 64bit, then it needs fully replaced as a primary work desktop.
One company I did some consulting for a few years ago actually was going to use 32bit windows, but, after some testing in a dual boot lab environment they decided to go with a min of 4gb ram rather then 3, and use 64bit company wide, because though it only sped the systems used for reception/secretarial up a small bit, as you moved up the tiers bottom to top the diffrance grew quite noticeable pretty quick, their design guys got 8-16gb ram, minimum systems got 4.
now some asked why they did that, they also gave each system for people doing actual work 2 monitors at a minimum of 1600x1200 res each(after letting them test 1680x1050 vs 1600x1200, management decided they liked 1600x1200 alot better, and even went with IPS displays that caused less eye strain), the cool part was in testing, they found that peoples productivity in 3 months testing(test group) on the new setups the minimum gain was over 25% boost to productivity, some it was almost doubled, those people where given higher res monitors and a 3rd screen, from what the guy I did the work for says, they have continued to track that and do the same thing for those who find more screen space=more work gets done.
they also dont block sites like facebook or youtube, but if your found to have them running and have productivity issues, you get 3 strikes then your out the door.
you where correct to a point, but 4gb ram really is a wall, even notice it on my mothers laptop that only runs 2-3 apps at a time...browers alone can eat that up pretty fast with multi tabs open.

Anyone should be able to confirm that football is a team sport and fielded with 11 players. However, the Truckee Wolverines in the Maverick Division of the Sierra Youth Football League could make a pretty strong argument that they were beaten 33-6 by the Reed Raiders' quarterback alone last Saturday at Truckee's River View Sports Park.
The slender-built No. 34 slanted right, swept left and ran straight up the middle to end up in the end zone a total of five times on the day. He scored every touchdown for the Raiders and also collected a majority of the 267 yards gained on the ground against the 7- and 8-year-old Wolverines.
Truckee did slow him down to two touchdowns in the second half and did make some improvements of their own, but it was not enough and they dropped their home opener.
Defensive end Carson Jensen and linebacker Jackson Kahl led the Wolverines defense in slowing the Raiders from 164 yards on 14 carries in the first half to 103 yards on 16 carries in the second half. Both defenders turned in season-high totals with seven tackles each.
Kahl also led the Wolverines' improvement on offense in the second half with a 29-yard run up the left side in which he pulled up short of the end zone thinking he had scored on the poorly marked small field. Kahl's big run off of a reverse accounted for a bulk of the 44 yards gained on nine carries in the second half. The 4.8 yards per carry in the second half greatly improved upon the first half performance of 15 yards lost on eight carries.
Kahl's run also set up the Wolverines' lone score two plays later in the fourth quarter. On the scoring play, center Luis Castaneda pushed two Raider defenders back and cleared quarterback Tavin Hamilton to trail for the 1-yard score. Hamilton was stopped less than a yard short on the extra-point conversion.
Kahl ended the day as the Wolverines' leading rusher with 35 yards on three carries. Hamilton finished as the second leading rusher with 9 yards on four carries. Running back Hutton Johnson chipped in 6 yards on three carries.
Defensive leaders included defensive end Johnson with six tackles, including a team-high five solo tackles. Safety Hunter Hansell was all over the field with his five tackles.
Cornerback Ryland Morrison got his first tackle of the year on the first play of the game and added two more in the third quarter. Linebacker Jacob Moule matched a personal best with three tackles and defensive end Jason Roth also brought down three Raider ball handlers.
Peter Reoutt trailed a play 11 yards from his defensive tackle position for his sole tackle of the day. Kicker Colton Conklin hustled 25 yards down field to touch down the Raider that fell on his fourth-quarter kick for his sole tackle. Hamilton earned a tackle on offense by touching down the Raider that fell on the ball after a bad exchange between the quarterback and the running back.
The Wolverines' special teams turned in their best day by taking advantage of all the opportunities the Raiders' quarterback gave them on kickoff returns. Kick returner Damon Parisi led the team with a return of 11 yards. Johnson stretched a short kick return into 10 yards with finesse and power. After advancing the kick 4 yards he spun off the initial tackler then carried five Raiders another 6 yards. Kick returner Galdino Bravo-Karvonen returned a line-drive kick straight forward for a gain of 8 yards.
Next up for the Wolverines (1-3) is another home game against Fernley Vaqueros (2-2) at River View Sports Park's small field Saturday at 10 a.m.

HPV Cancer Hits 8,000 Men, 18,000 Women a Year
April 19, 2012 -- HPV cancer isn't just a female problem, new CDC figures show.
Although HPV causes 18,000 cancers in women each year, it also causes 8,000 cancers in men, the CDC calculates. To get the figures, CDC researchers analyzed data collected from 2004 to 2008 in two large cancer registries.
HPV, human papillomavirus, is the cause of nearly all cervical cancers. But that's obviously not the only cancer caused by this sexually transmitted virus.
HPV also causes about two-thirds of mouth/throat (oropharyngeal) cancers, 93% of anal cancers, and more than a third of penile cancers. Men are four times more likely than women to get HPV mouth/throat cancer, while women are more likely than men to get HPV anal cancer.
Clearly, HPV is not just a female problem. Yet it was only last year that one of the two FDA-approved HPV vaccines was recommended for teen boys. Gardasil was recommended for girls in 2006; Cervarix was recommended for girls in 2009.
"HPV vaccines are important prevention tools to reduce the incidence of non-cervical cancers," the CDC notes in a report in the April 20 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. "Transmission of HPV also can be reduced through condom use and limiting the number of sexual partners."
HPV vaccines are most effective when given before people become sexually active. Yet in 2010, less than a third of teen girls had received all three doses of HPV vaccines. Numbers aren't yet available for boys.
The slow uptake of the vaccine by teen girls is in stark contrast to the contribution HPV makes to women's cancer risk. Taken together, HPV cancers are more common than ovarian cancers, and nearly as common as melanoma skin cancers in women.
Among men, HPV cancers are about as common as invasive brain cancers.
HPV Prevention
HPV is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection. At least half of sexually active people get HPV at some time during their lives. At any given time, more than 20 million Americans carry the virus.
Each HPV infection usually clears after a year or two. But that doesn't always happen. Those HPV infections that persist can lead to the development of cancers.
Although condom use and limiting the number of one's sex partners reduce HPV spread, vaccination -- before a person becomes sexually active -- is the surest way to prevent infection.
The Cervarix HPV vaccine protects against the two HPV strains most likely to cause cervical cancer. The Gardasil HPV vaccine protects against these and two other HPV strains.
Routine vaccination with three doses of Cervarix or Gardasil is recommended for girls aged 11 or 12. Routine vaccination with three doses of Gardasil is recommended for boys aged 11 or 12. Catch-up vaccination is recommended for females through age 26 and for males through age 21.

"I'm not saying everything's okay," says Bergman, 34. "I'm still angry. I'm still mad. I am still hurt. "
The couple, who are parents to, Jaden 8, and Bella, 8 months, have been working through their issues for the past year with the help of therapy.
"It took a crisis, it took infidelity to get us off our asses and work for what we want," admits Bergman. "We do the best we can. That's all we can do."
Boreanaz has taken responsibility for his actions and says he hopes the couple can recover the strong relationship they once had. "When we got married we had an unbelievable foundation that we've never forgotten," the actor, 40, says. "But it's been damaged."
Their future may be unknown but both are committed to moving forward – slowly – now that the past secrets are on the table. "What's working for us [is] taking our time," says Bergman, "moment to moment, day to day."

Take the first step toward being your own designer. Learn to draft stylish skirt patterns with Suzy Furrer, founder of Apparel Arts Fashion Design School. Start with how to make a skirt sloper that's perfectly fitted to your measurements. Then, with Suzy as your guide, use your sloper to draft A-line, bias and circle flared skirts. Draft pleated skirts with inverted box, accordion or knife pleats. Create skirts with silhouettes such as a lowered waist with a contoured waistband, an Empire waistline complete with a facing, or a pencil skirt. Add personality to your pattern with a flounce or peplum, or even draft a wrap skirt. Finish your pattern with details such as pockets, waistbands, facings and linings, and you're ready to sew a custom skirt you designed yourself!
Sign up for both of our basic patternmaking classes and save $50, or 36%.
Get to know your instructor and learn more about flat patternmaking. The basic techniques you'll learn are standard in the garment industry and useful in all kinds of patternmaking, including dress and coat design.
Suzy shares tips on getting accurate measurements on a person or dress form as she measures for waist, hips and length, then shares her calculations to turn those numbers into a basic skirt block.
Use your skirt block to create a one-dart skirt sloper, or master pattern. You'll draft the darts, add waist shaping and curve the seams for a better fit. You'll also see how to add notches and other construction guidelines.
Follow along as Suzy lays out and cuts out her pattern pieces to create a muslin, adding seam allowances, notches and dart markings. Once you've fine-tuned the fit on your muslin, you can make adjustments on your paper pattern, then transfer it to sturdier stock such as oak tag or poster board so you can use it again and again.
Now that you have your sloper, it's time to start designing. Suzy demonstrates how you can add flair to your skirt with flare! Try an A-line style, bias flare and even a circle skirt.
If you love pleats, you'll be delighted to see Suzy's simple and concise instructions for adding them. Box pleats, accordion pleasts or knife pleats - Suzy covers them all.
Get the waistline that's right for you, whether it's a lowered waist with contoured waistband, or high Empire line with facing. For a pencil skirt, Suzy shows how to add a slit for easy movement. Want a pocket? Draft a simple template and choose some fun lining fabric for an "insider" fashion touch.
Flounces and drapes can be fun or elegant. Learn how to add a ruffle to a skirt bottom, drapes on the side seam or even a peplum. A wrap skirt is another design that Suzy will walk you through, including closure options.
You have lots more design options for your skirts, including waistband types, facings and linings. Suzy shows you how to draft those and how to modify your sloper for knit fabrics.
Commercial designers must mark and notch their patterns in a very particular way for mass production. Suzy shows the industry standard practices and also shows examples of how a final pattern might look for a variety of skirts. You'll be eager to start making your own!
"I have really LOVED this class. I have been sewing since I was a child, I did not go to design school but have taken several tailoring classes and have made men's suits all the way through children's clothing, crafts, quilting and embroidery. Suzy's class is a MUST for anyone wanting to really understand garment construction. She goes through the 'how & why' things are done as well as teach you in a clear, focused, concise way to draft a pattern. You could really begin making successful designs following her instructions. I can't wait for her next class!"

The 2009 influenza A(H1N1) virus was first identified 8 months ago,1 but the virus has already had a substantial effect on human health. Influenza activity in the United States has remained higher than normal since May, and measures of severe illness such as hospitalizations and deaths during the summer and fall have been equal to or higher than rates usually observed in a typical winter influenza season in all age groups except older adults.2 Even though influenza activity has decreased in recent weeks in some states, there remains the possibility of continued activity through the traditional winter influenza season and the prospect of normal winter circulation of seasonal influenza viruses.

John Barton admits that "event" weeks like homecoming always make him a bit nervous.
"I'm not a hoopla guy, and I was that way when I was a player," said Barton, now in his 14th year as head football coach at Hollidaysburg Area High School. "I didn't like distractions when I played, and I struggle with distractions now when I coach.
"We have a really odd week. They're doing their skits. Then the kids have off Thursday and Friday because we've got in-service. So it's like the perfect storm of distraction."

Mirror photo by J.D.?Cavrich
Greg Dinges (42) sets up a running lane for Tiger teammate Eli Hargis.
Despite Barton's reservations, homecoming might be a good thing for his Golden Tigers this year. Hollidaysburg is 3-0 at home this season, where they've won four of their last five.
That could turn out to be a nice advantage as the 3-2 Tigers host 4-1 Hampton in a key Greater Allegheny Conference game rife with playoff implications - even if neither coach wants to discuss those openly yet - as the WPIAL regular season enters its final four weeks.
Both teams are tied with Knoch for third place in the conference in a battle for four automatic playoff qualifying spots. Kickoff on Friday is 7 p.m.
"I don't stress that," Barton said of the impact a win against Hampton could have on the Tigers' chances to reach the postseason. "We focus on it as a conference game, and a conference win would take us closer to our goals, in which, obviously, playoffs are included. The idea is to focus on winning this game. It's a conference game. It's a big conference game."
Hampton showed its quality last week by stunning state-ranked Knoch, 20-17. The Talbots forced three turnovers, got a pair of touchdowns from running back Frank Bello and 144 yards through the air from quarterback Jon Nigro, who hooked up on a 40-yard strike to 6-foot-5 Collin Luther for the deciding score with 3:15 left.
The Talbots are guided by Clearfield native Jacque DeMatteo, whose uncle, Lyle Domico, coached at Cambria Heights, Curwensville and Johnstown Vo-Tech.
"For the players, I was very pleased and happy. I just thought it was a gutsy performance on their part," DeMatteo said of the Knoch win. "The community has been receiving the kids really well not just for that game, but all year."
Nigro, who passed for 287 yards in a win over Indiana, has been the focal point of the Talbots offense, but Hampton is more defined by its balance and a defense that is giving up a hair more than 15 points per game.
"They have good skill kids, but they are very, very good up front. They don't do a whole lot offensively, but they execute, and they move the chains when they need to," Barton said. "Defensively, they're very aggressive. They're good, they're physical, and they run to the ball well."
Hollidaysburg rebounded from back-to-back one-sided road losses against Thomas Jefferson and Knoch to return home last week and crush Derry, 49-16. In that game, Tiger quarterback Brian Urban had his best passing game, throwing for 136 yards and a score, while also rushing for 125 yards and three TDs.
Kaleb Springer made three catches for 106 yards.
"We made progress. I went into that game with the mentality that we needed to throw, because, if we didn't work hard and commit to it, then we weren't going to get any better. We took steps in the right direction. We still have work to do, but we're getting better, and that's encouraging," Barton said.
Barton also praised his secondary, which gave up 186 yards but only allowed 13 of 29 throws to be completed and picked off two.
The Tigers have forced 15 turnovers this season, including at least two in every game. Hollidaysburg's defense has held all but one opponent to fewer than 200 yards rushing, as well.
"Overall, I am happy with our defense," Barton said. "I know that sounds like crazy talk when we gave up about a hundred points in back-to-back weeks against TJ and Knoch, but we can see a difference from last year."
While Hampton beat Knoch, Hollidaysburg also holds a victory over the only team that beat the Talbots, Greensburg Salem. DeMatteo said preparing for the Tigers isn't easy.
"They're physical up front, and they're big. They have a great ground attack, and, if you fall asleep, they can hurt you by passing the ball," DeMatteo said. "On defense, they are able to put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. They have a lot of good athletes. It should be a good game."
Although Barton doesn't like the hype this week, this seems to be a matchup deserving of it.
"You just emphasize to the kids to stay grounded. Football in this conference is why all this other stuff is happening. We have homecoming and that where people come back to a football game. It's not homecoming and 'oh, by the way, let's play a football game,'" Barton said. "We just try to keep focused on what we're trying to accomplish."

Day Dawn hosts stirring Men's Day Program
The men of Day Dawn Baptist Church celebrated their Annual Men's Day Program on Sept. 8.
The program began with the singing of "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord" by the Male Choir, followed by a stirring devotional conducted by Trustee James Jenkins Jr.
Junior Deacon Coles provided the Invocation, and Junior Deacon Whaley lined the hymn.
Brother Jonathan Stewart served as Master of Ceremonies, and the welcome address was delivered by Master Langston Reed.
Attendees were treated to a wonderful solo from Brother Zakwon Bowens, "What You Need, God's Got It."
As the program transitioned to the pulpit, the Doxology was offered by the church pastor, the Rev. Joshua Prioleau. The opening hymn for the transitional service was "Amazing Grace," sung by the Male Choir.
The Invocation was delivered by Deacon Simon Mitchell and the service was taken to another level by Brother Thurmond Fayall, as he sang" If Jesus Would Knock on you Door today, What Would You Say" and "Nearer to Thee."
Needless to say, everyone was deeply touched by his delivery.
The speaker for the occasion was presented to the congregation by Deacon Ralph Prioleau, Sr., whose message was preceded by the singing of "I Can't even Walk Without you Holding My Hand."
The speaker, the Rev. Edmond Mazyck, brought his message from Joshua 24: 14-15; and used as his topic: "Making the Right Choice." He was excellent!
The message was further highlighted by the choir's rendition of "Every Step I Make."
Closing remarks were made by Deacon Ralph Prioleau Sr., the program's organizer, and Pastor Prioleau.
The program was filled with numerous heartfelt and moving moments along with an unforgettable message, destined to touch the heart and spirit of all present in the service. Everyone is now looking forward to next year's Men's Day event.

Hearing only the very end of an awesome song when you change the radio station from something uninteresting.
I was just listening to a car commercial, then I changed the station and caught the end of this great Beatles song. Missed songportunity!
