Looking at their resumes, the team that should win this in a walk is Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin of Russia. Their personal best score is over 20 points higher than any of the other teams here has ever achieved. They are the junior World silver medallists, and the JGPF bronze medallists. However, having just watched their SD from the recent Russian test skate, they looked somewhat under trained to me. Given the fussiness of the current SD rules, I do not expect this event to be a 20 point runaway. I do not see how they can avoid winning however. Predicting the other medallists is more tricky. Madeline Edwards and Zhao Kai Pang of Canada, who recently won the bronze medal at JGP Courchevel have to be high in the running. However, Jean-Luc Baker and Kaitlin Hawayek, a new team from the US, defeated Edwards and Pang at Lake Placid IDC this summer. We should be keeping an eye on them, too. I favor Jean-Luc and Kaitlin particularly because of their strength at LPIDC in the short dance, a weaker point for Edwards & Pang. There are a number of promising teams who could sneak in if these falter.
Shari Koch & Christian Nüchtern skated to a fourth place finish at JGP Austria last week. Although Carolina Prochazkova & Michal Ceska of Czech Republic only finished seventh in Linz, their free dance performance was a disaster, marked by three separate deductions. I am looking to see them improve their placing here. And one can never ignore new Russian teams, and there is one here, Kristina Baklanova & Andrei Bagin, coached by Svinin & Zhuk who used to train Khoklova & Novitski. Finally, there is the very young American team of Lorraine McNamara and Quinn Carpenter, whom I do not expect to win, place, or show, but who should again win the hearts of the crowd, especially with their different and charming Zombies Short Dance, and set themselves up well for the next JGP season.
Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin RUS
Their ISU biography has not been updated.
Their coaches are Alexander Svinin & Irina Zhuk. Their choreographers are Irina Zhuk & Igor Pivorovich. Alexandra is 17. Ivan just turned 19. They have skated together siuce 2006.

Ivan is the former partner of Elena Illinykh.
Their personal best score of 149.98 was achieved last year at the ISU JGP Trofeo W. Lombardi. They placed second at Russian Junior Nationals last year. They placed second at Junior Worlds, and third at the Junior Grand Prix Final. They are the overwhelming favorites at this competition.

The field included Edwards & Pang and Macnamara & Carpenter, two teams that will also compete here in Turkey. They also won their section of the Free Dance, giving them a total score for the event of 66.85+51.21 = 118.06. I would not be at all surprised to see them in the top six here.

Michael Tielborg
Michael Tielborg '89
Michael Tielborg graduated from Westminster in 1989 with a dual degree in economics and philosophy. A few years after graduating, he realized he wanted to do something valuable and help people in a more tangible way. He then went to the University of Utah to become an anesthesiologist, and is now working at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill as an anesthesiologist and assistant professor and anesthesiology. Michael enjoys his chosen profession. "There is no typical work day which is a nice thing about my job," said Michael. It is a mix of teaching, administrative work, research, and treating patients. His teaching isn't done in a traditional classroom setting but rather in the hospitals with students during residencies or lectures here and there. The education offered at Westminster College encouraged Michael to explore his opinions and gave him the well-rounded foundation that allowed him to find a career where he is truly successful.

AAA presents CinemaDrive
Hats off to AAA, popularly known as American Automobile Association, for literally showing teenagers the dangers of unnecessary risks while driving.
AAA presented "CinemaDrive" Monday to attendees of Ohio Teen Institute Leadership on the Heidelberg University campus. The program is an interactive, educational pilot program for young drivers that addresses drunk driving, texting while driving, fatigue, speeding, seat belts and peer pressure.
All of those factors contribute to the fact auto accidents are the No. 1 killer of teenagers. AAA sponsors CinemaDrive through Cinema Park of North Carolina; we hope the program if found to be effective at helping teens make better decisions while driving.

It's possible that traveler's diarrhea may stem from the stress of traveling or a change in diet. But almost always an infectious agent is to blame.
You typically develop traveler's diarrhea after ingesting food or water that's contaminated with organisms from feces. These organisms are infectious agents — including various bacteria, viruses and parasites — that enter your digestive tract and overpower your defense mechanisms, resulting in signs and symptoms of traveler's diarrhea.
The most common cause of traveler's diarrhea is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) bacteria. These bacteria attach themselves to the lining of your intestine and release a toxin that causes diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
So why aren't natives of high-risk countries affected in the same way? Often their bodies have become accustomed to the bacteria and developed immunity to them.

Recognition Day is a momentous occasion in the life of a knob at The Citadel. Coleman Stanton of Mount Pleasant was among the knobs earlier this month who made it thus far.
It means the end of rigid formations, walking in single file at breakneck speed and the highly regimented way of life that is The Citadel's Fourth-Class System: some say the toughest college military training system in the country.
Recognition Day begins much the way the first day of military training began for the knobs - with intense physical and mental challenges. Knobs awake well before the sun rises to begin a series of seemingly endless exercises. They do push-ups and sit-ups and run drills back and forth across Summerall Field for hours.
This special day is the culmination of the rigid discipline endured throughout knob year and the beginning of a new chapter in The Citadel's leadership development process. After hours of grueling physical work followed by a Spirit Run, cadets are called onto the checkered floor of their barracks where, after more pushups, they listen in silent exhaustion for a message from their Regimental Commander.
It is this senior leader who announces over the loudspeaker that the Fourth-Class system is no longer in effect. From then on, the students will be recognized by their first names by all upperclassmen and welcomed into the Corps of Cadets. Later in the day, the freshmen dress for parade and march down to Marion Square, the site of the original Citadel campus.

INWOOD - Yes, it's that time of year again.
Cherry trees are blooming, the grass is greening and baseball season has officially started.
Perfectly timed to begin the new season, David Boyd's film Home Run (a Samuel Goldwayn Films and Provident Films production), is opening nationwide Friday.

Home Run is a movie centered around a professional baseball player, Cory Brand, who struggles with alcohol and addiction. With the help of a religious-based program — Celebrate Recovery — he finds himself on a journey that leads to a path of change and redemption.
The Celebrate Recovery program helps a professional baseball player overcome his addictions in the film. The program is offered locally at New Life Church in Inwood every Friday.
Home Run is a movie centered around a professional baseball player, Cory Brand (Scott Elrod), who struggles with alcohol and addiction and through the help of a special recovery group - Celebrate Recovery - finds himself on a journey that leads him on a path to change and redemption.
After a DUI and a team suspension, with hopes of making her client recover from his addictions in order to save his career, Brand's agent sends him back to his small hometown where he is forced to coach his brother's little league baseball team and spend eight weeks in the only recovery program in town - Celebrate Recovery.
Not really wanting to coach Little League or join a 12-step program, Brand reluctantly goes through the motions so that he can get back to his life as quickly as possible. Little does he know how both his players, and the program will set him on the road to freedom and hopefulness through transformation and redemption.

Home Run shows its audience how there really is life after addiction and how everyone can have a second chance - all you have to do is want it.
Nick Scott, the Celebrate Recovery West Virginia State Representative, said that it's through this story and through the Celebrate Recovery program where people who are suffering from pain and addiction can find their road to recovery and happiness.
Celebrate Recovery (CR) is a Christ-centered 12-Step Recovery Program designed to help people find healing from life's hurts, habits and hang-ups.
"I use to struggle with drugs, alcohol and pornography," Scott said. "I went through two divorces as a kid, lost people close to me and my mom moved away during my senior year of high school. I was so angry and mad, and through all that I had no foundation of church; so as I graduated high school I dove head-first in to drugs and alcohol and within a few months I was in the hospital with blood alcohol poisoning. I got kicked out of the Army for failing a drug test. I was in a six-year downward spiral when I met the lady who would become my wife and the mother of my three kids, and at no time did I become a husband or a father. I used to drink every day until I was drunk by 7:30 at night. I finally realized I needed to change when my 4-year-old daughter woke me up one morning asking me why I was sick and throwing up the night before. That's when I realized I was powerless. Now, through Celebrate Recovery, I've learned how to be a father, a husband and a friend. It has transformed my life."

Scott said stories like his are all too common. Most people may think that their story, their own pain is unique unto them, but if they listen to other people's testimonies, they'll find someone telling a story that is just like theirs.
Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 by Pastor John Baker of Saddleback Church with the goal of overcoming life's issues with a 12-step program based on Christian principles.
"When John Baker attended A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings, he didn't like talking about God, and when he was at church, he didn't feel comfortable talking about his addiction, so he began a 12-step program, but with Jesus," Scott said. "C.R. is a 52-week program based on eight recovery principles. It focuses on practical things you can do so you can and will get better. It's a place where you come to learn that not being OK is OK."
Celebrate Recovery is an international organization with meetings held 365-days a year. Local C.R. Meetings are held every Friday evening at New Life Church in Inwood. Scott said the meetings alternate weekly between a lesson and testimonies. Meetings start at 6 p.m. with a dinner - $3 per person or $5 per family. This is a time where people get to not only eat, but mingle and converse with others. At 7 p.m. everyone divides into specialized groups (men's, women's, children's, etc.) to hear a testimony or story. From 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. within the smaller groups, there is time for open sharing and discussion.
"This is where you get a chance to put a voice to your recovery," Scott said. "For one hour you're in these groups and in these groups we focus on 'I' and 'me' statements. Then at 9 p.m. we break for refreshments."
The refreshment/dessert portion of the meeting is called the "Cross Talk Cafe." During the Open Share Discussion, those who are listening may not interrupt those who are speaking, so the Cross Talk Cafe gives them a forum where participants can then speak with those who were sharing their story to offer words of encouragement, seek advice or ask them questions about their story.
The large group meetings are for those ages 18 and up. For participants who have children in grades pre-k through fifth, there is a children's group called "Celebration Station" where children will learn how to break the cycle of addiction and abuse and learn how to deal with life's challenges in a healthy way through fun and play. Also, for teens in grades six through 12, there is a group called "The Landing." Scott said that in The Landing they're going over the same exact information the adults are going through in the large group, but learning it in an age appropriate way.
"I have been an active participant and leader in C.R. for the past 4 years," Scott said. "In my experience I've come to realize there is a definite need for programs like CR in our community. Many are hurting, few are healing."
Scott said that he hopes and prays that eventually there will be a C.R. Program in every church in every community, but for now, he wants people in the Martinsburg area to know that if they are suffering from addiction, and if they are hurting, they have somewhere to go and find help.

Women's Basketball Headed To 2014 WNIT
MUNCIE, Ind. - - After a thrilling run to the 2014 Mid-American Conference Tournament championship game, the Ball State women's basketball team (18-16) learned its season would continue Monday, as it was extended an at-large invitation to play in the 64-team Women's National Invitational Tournament. The Cardinals will play at Northwestern Thursday at 8 p.m. EST.
"I am thrilled to take this team into the WNIT, said Ball State head women's basketball coach Brady Sallee. "Over the past several weeks our team has been at its best and earned this opportunity to play on the national stage. We will now go to work and prepare to represent Ball State University and the MAC the best we can. The continued growth of our program is exciting and we look at this as another step in the right direction for Ball State Women's Basketball."
The Ball State women's basketball team will be making its second-straight WNIT appearance, and fifth overall, after advancing to the Final 16 for the first time in program history last season. During its 2013 WNIT run, the Cardinals knocked off Big Ten foe Minnesota 54-51 on the road and scored a 53-48 win over Northern Iowa at Worthen Arena. In the Final 16 game, the Cardinals suffered a 60-48 loss at Kansas State.
The Cardinals became postseason eligible by winning seven of its final eight games en route to advancing to last Saturday's MAC Tournament championship game for the first time since winning it all in 2009. In the semifinals of the MAC Tournament, Ball State scored a thrilling 73-55 win over 25th-ranked Bowling Green. The Cardinals then lost to No. 3 Akron 79-68 in the title game.
The Cardinals had a seven-game winning streak heading into Saturday's MAC Tournament championship game, including tournament wins over No. 12 seed Kent State, No. 9 Northern Illinois, No. 4 Buffalo and No. 1 Bowling Green. Ball State is only the third team to ever win four games and the first team to ever play five in a single MAC Tournament. The Cardinals were also just the third No. 5 seed in league history to compete in the MAC Tournament title game.
Sallee, who is in his second season at Ball State, becomes only the second coach in program history to take the Cardinals to back-to-back WNITs. The last time it happened was 2001-02 and 2002-03 under former head coach Tracy Roller.
Sallee has led the Cardinals to an 18-16 overall record in 2013-14, with the 18 wins being the most in a season since the 2008-09 squad went 26-9. Sallee owns a 171-141 career head coaching record, including a 136-109 mark in eight seasons at Eastern Illinois.
The Postseason WNIT features 64 NCAA Division I women's basketball teams. The field includes 31 teams that receive automatic berths - one berth from each of the nation's established conferences - and 33 at-large selections. All teams at the NCAA Division I level are considered for at-large berths, including those who are independent and/or are in the process of reaching full NCAA Division I status.

Dustin Hoffman, Shylock; Leigh Lawson, Antonio; Geraldine James, Portia; Abigail McKern, Nerissa; Allan Watkins, costumes; Peter Hall director; Chris Dyer, designer. "Chris Dyer's lovely Renaissance costumes and simple, pleasing set - a marble colonade whose rear walls dissolve into a prospect of shimmering blue when the action shifts to Belmont." Christopher Edwards, Spectator 10.6.89 Donald Cooper: photographer; courtesy of AHDS Performing Arts Designing Shakespeare Collection.
A good script achieves synchronicity of script and audience concerns, as was confirmed for me in 1989 when such a distinctive tension occurred in a New York performance of The Merchant of Venice, in which Dustin Hoffman played Shylock in an intuitive Method style for Peter Hall's production, against the grain of more formal British acting by the rest of the cast, before a largely Jewish audience recruited for that performance by Sam Wanamaker in support of his rebuilding of the original Globe Theatre in Southwark. There was great tension and involvement in the action. It is not accidental that Shakespeare so often chooses challenging themes persisting in human consciousness, like race, religion, and gender. © HMR

And these OT's aren't indicative enough of an earned win when teams can just squat on the last regulation minutes, then squat on OT, to hope for the SO.
Go with a full 20 minute OT period and if they can't resolve the difference they deserve the tie.

Sounds interesting. Is there a link yet to the ctp bits of M?
The underlying parsing runtime uses GLR (Generalized LR).
The M grammar compiler produces structured data that drive that runtime.
I always screw-up that reply thing... Should be: @Don Box:
Might have a problem with the name.
Although in lesser use now, 'M' is still an ISO-Standard language: ANSI X11.1-1995 and ISO/IEC 11756:1999
It is still sold & supported (under various disguises) by Intersystems: http://www.intersystems.com/cache/index.html
It's one of the earliest dynamic type languages, and although a bit clunky by today's standards, still has some features that modern languages struggle to match.
I recall doing a bunch of work in this (and the earlier MUMPS variants) way back when.

The 10,000 acre Reserve is home to over 600 species of plants and animals including 48 endangered species of which 16 are endemic to Puerto Rico (per Wikipedia).
Trivia/History- Guánica's large enclosed bay on the Southwest coast is where the US first invaded Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American War of 1898. This landing gave them a foothold to proceed overland to Ponce, then onto Coamo where the fighting ended. Continue reading →

While receiving a BJ, at the point of climax, the male pushes his junk to the back of the bitches mouth. Then he continues to tickle her, punch her in the stomach, or gag her, so that the manjuice streams out of her nose. After a white dragon is accomplished, the male proceeds to punch the bitch in the nose, thus resulting in a cum/blood projection.

Improvement continues at Williamsport
January 13, 2013
It has been a process for the Williamsport Area High School to continually improve....
Blah...blah...more propaganda from this district. I resent paying school tax to this district and if I had school aged children, they would be home or cyber schooled. They can NEVER just get down to the basics of academics and discipline. NOT much of either one unless you come from an academic or disciplined family! Schools CAN'T take the place of a good family and that's NOT their business either!
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I don't have school children either but I value the role public education plays in our society. If this rhetoric, I like it because it's supported data. Solid evidence that students of all backgrounds are learning and student discipline is improving. Thank you to the Millionaire staff for working together to better engage and teach our kids!
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Andy33-The fact is that children from disciplined families are thriving and succeeding in the district, so why home school? My kids get a wonderful education and extra-curricular experience in the district. Those who resent paying the local taxes should be lobbying the governor and our local representative to have more of the cost of school covered at the state level.

Oldbilltown...my point was....given the present circumstances...I would never want my child exposed to that mentality of fashion/rapping [you know...that pants hanging off your a**] and other associated BS that goes along with this type of environment... children really do need exposure to the other side of culture.

The SONY's lawyer asked me why I'm doing what I'm doing, because of my hatred for SONY? He cannot understand why I'm doing it, because he is paid for what he does. I'm not. I don't hold a grudge against SONY even now Hatred clouds your mind, keeps you from more important things. I have a better use for my mind and knowledge.So, SONY you failed again, you took my equipment but my mind is still free and you canot control it. You failed again. They are just tools, I can get new ones and will continue my HV reversing and bringing back PS3 Linux which you took from us. If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because I cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking You know who am I and where I live, so come and get me !!!
Hi guys, no money left anymore. Going to jail soon probably because I cannot pay court costs.But I'm ready to stand up for everything I said and go to jail for that too. It's not important to win, more important is to show them that we are ready to fight, that they cannot scare me off easily. Yeah, I'm ready to go to jail for my believes and my principles.Most of people probably think that all computer and kernel hackers are weak kids, hiding in a cellar, eating pizza whole day, writing software and looking for attention Maybe, but that's NOT me. And I will get out eventually and continue my work. My work means very much to me.
quote: 1 - I dont buy that credit card data was stolen for personal gain.
quote: 2 - Sony has not made a quality product in years. Every product I have purchased that was made by Sony have long since died off or needed repair. That alone has made me swear off purchasing Sony products. Crap in a nice box.
quote: 5 - Sony is just s shady organization now when they made up fake fans just shows you how low this organization has become.
quote: I do agree that that is one step, but the public is oblivious and needs ridiculous stories like this before they stop giving sony their money.
quote: It's difficult to convince people to stop supporting companies like this without big headlines.
quote: Just who exactly does Sony think they are ? They are in the business of selling products. Their customers paid whatever they are charging for their products. They are using the products they now own in whatever way suits them. What's that got to do with Sony ? They chose to cancel Linux support on PS3. Fine, that's their perogative. But if/when a user finds a way to reinstate Linux support, in spite of Sony's efforts, that has nothing to do with them (except that it goes to show just how inept Sony's engineers really are - if you want to do something, do it right the first time).
quote: Jail time for enabling linux on a PS3? Really? That's what it boils down to
quote: So its not free speech unless its your speech? or atleast something YOU like. Good to know.
quote: I agree with some of what you said, what they did has negitive effects, however sony set up the rules of this situation. Perhaps they could both take responsibility for the actions. Sony shouldn't sell us a spoon and be able to say we can't use it to cut things.
quote: Sony did not make the rules - the politicians we all elected did.
quote: describes Obama's health-care meetings perfectly
quote: Sony sold the PS3 as a device that could run Linux, people bought it on that basis
quote: They got victimised by Sony and prosecuted.
quote: However to do it for those already purchased should be illegal.
quote: I said they victimised those who tried to get Linux to work on the PS3 again.
quote: If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because I cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking You know who am I and where I live, so come and get me !!!
quote: Yes, but since when is it a crime to hack my own computer?
quote: I don't have a PS3 (or any other Sony product), but it's possible for the EULA to state that the console is actually the property of Sony.
quote: Sony can state all they want that you don't own the device you just paid full retail price for, but they don't have the right to come take it out of your possession.

Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
International nonprofit organization PATH has provided Novavax with some $2 million in initial funding as part of a clinical development partnership focused on Novavax' respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine candidate designed to protect newborns from RSV infection through immunization of pregnant women. The initial funds will support a Phase II study evaluating the immune response to different doses of the vaccine in women of childbearing age. With additional PATH funding the partners may then advance clinical development of a recombinant RSV fusion F protein vaccine that is administered to pregnant women to trigger the production of protective antibodies that are transferred to their offspring in utero.
Under terms of the partnership PATH could fund up to 50% of Novavax' external clinical development costs. The firm will retain global rights to commercialize the vaccine, and has made a commitment to make it affordable and available in low-resource countries.
Maternal immunization is widely used for protecting infants against diseases such as neonatal tetanus. However, there is currently no approved RSV prophylactic vaccine available, and Novavax estimates the global market for such a product could exceed $5 billion.
"This partnership with PATH complements our corporate strategy to develop this RSV vaccine for multiple indications in affected patient populations, in all markets throughout the world with multiple partners," remarks Stanley C. Erck, president and CEO of Novavax. "This partnship further validates the promise of our recombinant nanoparticle vaccines."
Novavax is leveraging its virus-like particle (VLP) and recombinant nanoparticle technologies, and manufacturing platform, to develop vaccines against a broad range of infectious diseases. Its clinical pipeline is headed by VLP-based seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines, which are in Phase II development.
The agreement with PATH follows just two days after Novavax announced a collaboration with CPL Biologicals and the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) to develop a VLP-based malaria vaccine in India.

According to Forrester Research, every business will become either a digital predator or digital prey by 2020. To avoid demise, organizations must rapidly create new sources of value in their end-to-end customer experiences. True digital predators also must break down information and process silos and extend digital transformation initiatives to empower employees with the digital resources needed to win, serve, and retain customers.

It's Magical win for Mercy
It was only fitting that Allison Balys was one of the heroines for Mount Mercy in the championship game of the 27th Matt Colpoys Memorial Tournament at Kenmore West Saturday night. Balys is the niece of Colpoys, one of five firefighters from Buffalo Ladder Company No. 5 who was killed in a propane explosion on Dec. 27, 1983. Besides his duties as a firefighter, Colpoys was an official for boys and girls basketball, football and baseball.
Mount Mercy trailed the whole game against Sweet Home until Balys tied the game at 34-all with a layup with 30 seconds left in regulation. In the overtime, Mercy broke through Sweet Home's press and scored a 44-39 victory. Emily Sheehan scored five of the Magic's eight points in the overtime and finished with 16. Kerry McGough had 11 points and eight rebounds for Mount Mercy and was at her best during the fourth-quarter rally.
Mount Mercy, which upset Iroquois in the first round, is now 5-0, the same number of wins the Magic registered all of last season.
Canisius falls in D.C.
Host Georgetown Prep defeated Canisius High School, 80-68, for the consolation championship of the Father George National Jesuit Christmas Classic in North Bethesda, Md. The Hoyas broke open a close game by outscoring the Crusaders, 28-15, in the third quarter. Canisius, which lost to Juniper Serra (Calif.) 77-39 in Thursday's opening round, had rebounded with a 67-45 win over Loyola Brakefield (Md.) on Friday.
Adam Weir had 22 points for Canisius in Saturday's loss while Patrick MacDonald added 11.
Lancers win Depew title
Corey Kiebzak hit two of his three three-point shots in the fourth quarter to help break the game open and St. Mary's of Lancaster went on to defeat Lancaster, 53-38, in the championship game of the Depew Tournament in boys basketball. The Lancers (7-2) outscored the Redskins, 16-6, in the final period after taking a 37-32 lead into the frame. Lancaster led 18-17 at halftime.
Tournament MVP Paul Rath led the scoring for St. Mary's with 14. Kiebzak had 13. Tylor English, who had 11 points for the Lancers, and Tyler Lis, who led Lancaster with 12 points, also made all-tournament.
Mitchell leads South Park
South Park (7-2) turned to its full-court press in overtime, outscored host Springville, 10-2, and went on to a 65-58 victory over the Griffins in the championship game of the Emerling Ford Holiday Tournament.
Senior Tyrell Mitchell led the Sparks with 34 points, six in the overtime period. He and teammate Keion Godson made all-tournament. Billy Dickinson led Springville with 21 points.
West Seneca West tops relays
West Seneca West led the girls and combined boys and girls team scoring while Clarence was first among boys teams in the Section VI Indoor Western New York Track and Field Relays at Fredonia State. WSW took the girls title without a first place. but claimed finished second in seven of the 14 events. Clarence won the boys 4x800, 1,600, 4x400 and pole vault in the boys meet to edge Sweet Home 58-57. West Seneca West led the girls meet with 79 points and had a combined score of 134.
Clarence, Ken West icers win
Tristian Drescher scored three goals and Brian Ruff added a pair for Clarence (4-3) in a 6-1 boys Western New York Hockey Federation victory over Kenmore East. Chris Selak had two goals and two assists to lead Kenmore West (5-4) over Amherst, 9-1.

At Mayo Clinic, medical and surgical specialists from over 40 areas are available to collaborate in the treatment of your child.
Craniosynostosis (kray-nee-o-sin-os-TOE-sis) is a birth defect in which one or more of the joints between the bones of your baby's skull close prematurely, before your baby's brain is fully formed. When your baby has craniosynostosis, his or her brain can't grow in its natural shape and the head is misshapen.
Craniosynostosis can affect one or more of the joints in your baby's skull. In some cases, craniosynostosis is associated with an underlying brain abnormality that prevents the brain from growing properly.
Treating craniosynostosis usually involves surgery to separate the fused bones. If there's no underlying brain abnormality, the surgery allows your baby's brain adequate space to grow and develop.

This is part two of a three part series entitled US presidential sex scandals. Part-one, printed Feb. 17, 2013, is titled US presidential sex scandals: Washington through Jackson can be found at http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/14060010-usa-presidential-sex-scandals-washington-through-jackson
Part two, today, covers James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, and Warren Harding.
James_Buchanan, was our only confirmed bachelor president. He was also a self-confessed homosexual. His partner for over 15 years was William_R._King, when both served in Congress. Buchanan's word for their relationship was a "communion." After King was appointed Ambassador to France in 1844, Buchanan wrote, "I am now solitary and alone, having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any of them. I feel that it is not good for man to be alone; and should not be astonished to find myself married to some old maid who can nurse me when I am sick, provide good dinners from me when I am well, and not expect from me any very ardent or romantic affection." (See Jean H. Baker, James Buchanan: The American Presidents Series: The 15th President, 1857–1861], 2004, page 26 and James Buchanan, James Buchanan Henry, The Works of James Buchanan: Comprising His Speeches, State Papers and Private Correspondence, Volume 6, 1909, page 3)
Abraham_Lincoln's law partner William_Herndon wrote what is arguably the best biography of Lincoln, at least from a factual standpoint because few, if any, people knew Lincoln as well . Herndon wrote that a few years before Lincoln married Mary Todd, Lincoln said he had syphilis.
I didn't find anything about illicit affairs by either spouse. Regardless, Mary Todd was physically abusive towards Lincoln. Mary's behavior in later years was not inconsistent with tertiary syphilis. (See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1200645/)
In the 1884 presidential campaign, Maria Crofts Halpin claimed Grover_Cleveland fathered her child out of wedlock. In fact, she later admitted she was seeing a few men at the time but the others were all married. This happened as Cleveland was in the midst of his first presidential campaign in 1884. Cleveland's devised a very clever strategy that has rarely been used before or since and it caught all his political enemies off guard...he told the truth. He openly claimed responsibility and made clear he paid support for the child and to the mother. Still, the Republicans and their candidate, James Blaine, had a field day with a cartoon showing a little boy yelling "Ma Ma Where's my Pa?" When Cleveland won, he and the Democrats change the cartoon to:
"Ma Ma Where's my Pa"
"Gone to the White House, ha ha"
(Above link also cites ^ a b c d Nevins, 162–169; Jeffers, 106–111; Graff, 60–65; Welch, 36–39. Also A Secret Life: The Lies and Scandals of President Grover Cleveland, by Charles Lachman. The boy wound-up going to Harvard Law School and having a successful career.)
Blame the press for scandalizing the 28th US President. Woodrow_Wilson . His first wife, Ellen_Axson_Wilson, died 17 months into Wilson's first term. She had told her doctor to make sure Wilson knew she said it was okay for him to re-marry. Wilson is often regarded as one of our few truly intellectual presidents. He earned a PhD in history from Johns Hopkins University and had been president of Princeton. So, to many there is something of a disconnect when thinking of Wilson as a romantic, which he most definitely was. Wilson's cousin, Helen Bones, often served as White House hostess after Ellen died. Bones knew that Wilson was a romantic and enjoyed female company. The following year, she introduced him and the widow Edith Galt to each other. Wilson had also dated other women. So Bones and the whole Washington establishment weren't the only ones more than a little surprised when the White House announced Wilson & Galt were engaged. In fact, the joke was that the President's proposal was so unexpected that "When the President proposed, Mrs. Galt was so surprised, she nearly fell out of bed." (See Edith_Bolling_Galt_Wilson which cites ^ a b Hagood, p. 82-83.)
Later, a typographical error in the Washington Post was more on target than the intended story. The paper published a story describing the president's social evening at a local theater with Mrs. Galt. The article was supposed to include the words "rather than paying attention to the play, the President spent the evening entertaining Mrs. Galt." What was printed in the first run of the Washington Post was "rather than paying attention to the play, the President spent the evening entering Mrs. Galt." Most of the first run of that issue of the paper was successfully recalled. Late in his second term, after Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke, most historians think Mrs. Wilson was the de facto president. (Above link to Edith Galt also cites other sources including Wilson, Edith Bolling Galt. My Memoir. New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1939.)
The 34th US President Warren_G._Harding had almost no family life. He was regarded as incredibly handsome. In fact, in one play about Truman, there is a line with Truman mocking Harding's looks, stating "They say he (Harding) even looked like a president." Harding married a hometown divorcee' and spent many evenings "with the boys" playing cards. Florence_Harding, is generally thought to have been a major influence in his newspaper publishing business and his business and political life (see link).
He is known to have had at least two affairs while president, both starting before he became president and both with women from or near his hometown of Marion, Ohio. One was with Carrie_Fulton_Phillips , wife of Harding's friend James Phillips. The other was with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nan_Britton, who in 1927, published The President's Daughter, a book about the affairs.(See both links.)
Some reports suggest Harding liked having some of his affairs in the Oval Office cloak room. (See a few sources including http://www.cdapress.com/lifestyles/article_650440a9-6d7e-5030-a578-14e9727c91bd.html.)
Harding was originally thought to have died from Apoplexy. Historians and doctors have subsequently rethought that, but there doesn't seem to be any definitive conclusion. Some think he died from what today we would call malpractice. There is also a theory that Mrs. Harding poisoned him for all his affairs. She was alone with him when he died. Different sources state she either didn't request an autopsy or she refused to allow one. (See a few sources including http://millercenter.org/president/harding/essays/biography/7 and http://millercenter.org/president/harding/essays/biography/6 )

Quill began in 1956 in a small back room of a poultry company in Chicago – with just a desk, chair and two phones. Miller's first month of sales totaled just $980. With just $2,000 to invest in his company, Quill founder Jack Miller couldn't afford a staff so he relied on face-to-face sales to local businesses, until Miller's brother signed on to help get the company off the ground. Eventually, they were able to generate enough revenue to pay themselves a weekly salary of $90 for their entrepreneurial efforts.
The Miller Brothers eventually shifted their marketing focus to offering mail-order products as well, making Quill one of the first mail-order companies in the country. The Miller Brothers introduced the first Quill mail-order catalog in 1963, which featured discounted prices and free shipping. By 1974, Quill was reporting $3.5 million in sales and within a decade, Quill had amassed a customer base of more than 600,000 business.
It took forty years of business for Quill to launch their website, which debuted in 1996. Two years later, Quill was purchased by office supply giant Staples for an astounding (considering Miller's original investment in the company was only $2,000) $685 million. Today, Quill is one of the most profitable e-tailers of office products and is the source of 25% of the Staples Corporation's annual revenue, which topped the $8 billion mark for 2014.
