What is it?
For Users
The Coherence toolkit offers the following multi-media related components:
- DLNA/UPnP Media Server (Coherence), which exports local files or online media to UPnP clients. There are many backends to fetch media from:
Due to the comprehensive plug-in architecture, these can easily be expanded.
Coherence also contains an audio/video DLNA/UPnP MediaRenderer application, based on the GStreamer framework. It includes the source-code framework used by the other components. The media server supports Transcoding (experimental).
- Coherence-Config is a cross-platform GUI frontend for 'Coherence'.
- An image DLNA/UPnP MediaRenderer (Cadre), which can display pictures from the local filesystem or from a MediaServer.
- An application level proxy for UPnP devices (Mirabeau) which allows to share your UPnP content between two or more local networks over the Internet. It uses XMPP as a transport (work in progress).
- The UPnP-Inspector is a graphical UPnP Device and Service analyzer, and a debugging tool. Detected devices are displayed in a tree-view, where - amongst other things - actions can be called and state-variables be queried. It can also be used as a UPnP ControlPoint.
- Plugins or extensions for other applications to open them to the UPnP world, thanks to the framework (either as MediaServers, ControlPoints or MediaRenderers). This includes Totem, Nautilus, Eye Of Gnome, Rythmbox, Banshee, Elisa, amarok...
If you are new to DLNA/UPnP you may want to read the Short Introduction to DLNA?.
Additionally there is a command-line tool to work with UPnP Internet Gateway Devices (Puncher). Many routers offer an UPnP InternetGatewayDevice to query informations about the WAN connection, the link status, external IP address and to enable port-mappings that allow inbound connections to the local LAN. Puncher allows you interacting with these devices.
The toolkit is known to work on various Linux flavors, BSD, (Open)Solaris and Windows. It can be installed either as a standard python source-code download or through various OS-specific packages.
For Application Developers
Developers get a framework written in Python with an emerging DBus API. This framework is designed to automate all UPnP-related tasks as much as possible and enable applications to participate in digital living networks, primarily the UPnP universe.
The core framework of Coherence provides:
- an SSDP server
- an MSEARCH client
- server and client for HTTP/SOAP requests
- server and client for Event Subscription and Notification (GENA)
- A device implementation dock
UPnP device implementations are pluggable. For instance, we can pick the MediaServer device and plug it into the core. Or attach the MediaRenderer device. Or attach both, or two MediaServers and a ControlPoint - this is the point where one of Coherence's particular features kicks in.
This probably makes more sense if we look at how UPnP devices are implemented within Coherence. On one side of the device we have the connectors to the core, but on the other side there is a dock for a backend to be plugged in. So a device implementation is generally a simple translation map between the the core and its backend.
As an example, a MediaServer connects to the core via the ContentDirectory and ConnectionManager services and bridges them to a filesystem backend. Or bridges them - let's say - to a less skimpy one, the MediaStore? of a MediaCenter exposing its content in a way already presorted by album, artist, genre,...etc.
More information is available in the Architectural Overview.
Current State
At the moment Coherence is primarily focused on the UPnP A/V devices but any other UPnP device can be addressed, too. Such as a Lighting Controls bridge to EIB home-automation.
The core itself is fairly complete and can be used on its own for debugging purposes.
The media server includes an early implementation of transcoding support.

Joe Mahoney/Associated Press
Ah, that growing list of Broncos playmakers: Peyton Manning. Von Miller. Demaryius Thomas.
Mitch Unrein?
Well, yes.
The second-year defensive lineman out of Wyoming played as big a role as Manning, Miller or anyone else Sunday in helping the Denver Broncos defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 and wrap up their second consecutive AFC West title. Unrein caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Manning to open the scoring, then got the hit on Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman that forced a bad throw. It ended up in Miller�s hands and, moments later, the end zone for the score that turned the game into a runaway.
�People are going to have to game-plan for that guy,� cornerback Champ Bailey said.
Thomas caught two other touchdown passes from Manning, who now has 29 this year and passed Jake Plummer and John Elway for the most scoring throws in a single season in franchise history.
The Broncos (9-3) won their seventh in a row and wrapped up a date in January in the playoffs, though there were no champagne bottles being uncorked in the locker room.
�It�s one step,� Bailey said. �It�s not like we�ve done everything we want to do.�
The Bucs (6-6), surprising contenders under first-year coach Greg Schiano, fell a game behind Seattle for the second NFC wild-card spot, and their loss clinched the NFC South for Atlanta. They were in this game until Unrein made his second big play and set the stage for Miller�s first NFL touchdown, which capped a 21-0 third quarter for Denver.
�The reality is, we get hit and throw the pick-six,� Schiano said. �That changes the complexion of the game. Now we�re not able to run the football. I mean, we didn�t run it gang-busters in the first half. But we ran it. And ... if you�re able to be in a game where you can run it, oftentimes you�ll be able to run it in the fourth quarter.�
The Broncos held Tampa Bay rookie Doug Martin to 56 yards on 18 carries.
Manning went 27 of 38 for 242 yards as the Broncos scored 30-plus points for the sixth time in their seven-game win streak � a night-and-day difference from last year, when they won the division at 8-8 and played close-to-the-vest, low-scoring games with Tim Tebow running the offense.
Yet despite Denver�s big numbers Sunday, which included eight catches for 99 yards for Thomas and nine receptions for 89 yards from tight end Jacob Tamme, this was, yet again, a far-from-perfect effort from Manning and Co.
The quarterback was frustrated in this first half as a series of penalties, off-target throws and missed protections kept him biding his time on the bench. The only real highlight came at the end of his first drive � a 1-yard touchdown pass to Unrein, who became the first defensive lineman to catch a touchdown pass in Broncos� history, then celebrated with a big-time spike.
�After I spiked it, I was, like, �Uh, oh, where�d it go?�� Unrein said. �Luckily, I got it back.�
Unrein�s hit on Freeman in the third quarter also resulted in a touchdown � this time, from Miller, who went 26 yards to make it 28-10. It was Miller�s first career score, and he celebrated by doing his dance, not in the backfield, but this time in the other team�s end zone.
�When I got my hands on it, I felt like I only had some O-linemen in front of me,� Miller said. �I felt like my odds were pretty good.�
Before the Miller score, this was a game.
Late in the first quarter, Freeman found Mike Williams in single coverage down the middle for a 40-yard gain. Martin followed with a 7-yard run, then another for 5, then Freeman found Manning�s old buddy in Indianapolis, Dallas Clark, for an 11-yard touchdown and a 10-7 lead.
But when the teams came out after halftime, Denver was a different team.
�The hype these guys get, it�s well deserved,� Freeman said. �They get after it. The front four, they do a good job of timing their blitzes. The Denver defense played a great game (Sunday).�
Manning wasn�t bad, either. With his ninth completion, he surpassed Dan Marino for second on the all-time completions list. He now has 4,986.
On the second drive of the third quarter, Manning completed three passes on a quick, 52-yard touchdown drive for a 14-10 lead, capping it with an 8-yard pass to Thomas, who had a sliver of space in the back of the end zone.
After a three-and-out, Manning did it again, starting a 57-yard drive with a 14-yard pass to Tamme and capping it five plays later with a 10-yard score to Thomas, who beat double coverage.
�What I liked about the second touchdown was that Demaryius was seeing the same thing I was seeing,� Manning said. �We had another route on. We changed it at the line. We were thinking along the same lines. I like to see the communication, the growth.�
After the early touchdown drive, Freeman never got comfortable again.
He finished 18 of 39 for 242 yards. He led the Bucs on a 47-yard touchdown drive that made the score 31-23 with 2:33 left. Denver recovered the onside kick and lined up in victory formation twice. Schiano, as is his wont, had his players challenge those plays, which led to some scrapping, but no coach-to-coach conflict the way Giants coach Tom Coughlin confronted Schiano under similar circumstances earlier this year.
�We were prepared for it,� Broncos coach John Fox said.

SL TV: Living Up To A Legend (Hiago Garchet)
By Andy Wright | Ball State Sports Link
Hiago Garchet was living the dream.
At 18 years old, he was the starting setter for the Brazilian state of Minas Gerias in the Brazilian National Youth Men's Volleybal Tournament. He was the captain of his team. His coaches loved him.
"I was just living every day, playing for my club, doing good," Garchet said. " We would win state every year, and all the championships we played."
Garchet is from Belo Horizonte, Brazil where he played volleyball for more than eight years. He played a variety of sports including swimming, judo and basketball, but it wasn't until he played volleyball that he found his true passion. Garchet's first volleyball coach designated him as an outside hitter, but he never fully grasped the idea of playing the position.
"I was an outside hitter for four years, but I always wanted to be a setter," Garchet said. "It's just more exciting, it's more responsibility and that's why I like it."
Every time Garchet sets the ball, his face is livid with concentration. Whenever he assists on a kill, he screams with energy and a fired up complexion that lights up his face.
"It's so much more natural now that I'm a setter, because I feel like my teammates really need me," Garchet said.
As the starting setter, Garchet led his team to two second-place finishes and a third-place finish in the Brazilian National Men's Volleyball Championship. After his third year with the state team, Garchet had finished high school, but he was left with a major decision -- whether to play volleyball professionally in Brazil or go to a school for a college education.
"It got to a point where I had to decide to play pro or study," Garchet said. "We don't have this conciliation between studies and sports."
Garchet was faced with uncertainty as he wanted to continue playing volleyball, but if he did so, he would be giving up a chance at a college education because Brazilian colleges don't have athletic departments as colleges in the United States do.
It wasn't until Garchet's father encouraged him to take a chance at playing volleyball in the United States where he could receive a college education in addition to playing volleyball.
"My dad would say just go to the U.S, and go to college there," Garchet said. "You won't regret it."
After much deliberation, he decided on playing volleyball in the United States. He sent out videos of himself playing, and several colleges including Ball State took notice. Garchet was intrigued in playing for Ball State, but he ended up choosing Park University in Kansas City, Mo., because Ball State didn't have a scholarship for him at the time.
"We didn't have the money that it took, and really at that time the timing of needing a setter just wasn't perfect," Ball State Men's Volleyball Head Coach Joel Walton said.
After one year at Park, Garchet knew he needed a change. He made the transition to Muncie, Ind.
Now, he was living the dream.
He was a Division I Men's Volleyball player in the United States at Ball State University.
"I'm playing for one of the top 15 ranked volleyball teams in the U.S," Garchet said. "I'm studying what I want at a good school. Fortunately, I have parents that can afford that and provide that for me. I had the opportunity from Joel to make it possible."
After a great volleyball career in Brazil as a youth, he had made the transition to a great volleyball program in the United States where he would have the chance to play volleyball and get a degree at the same time.
With Garchet's arrival at Ball State, it isthe first time a Brazilian setter has played for Ball State in 20 years.
The last player to do so was Eduardo Ferraz, who played at Ball State from 1993-1997. Ferraz led the Cardinals to three Final Four appearances in the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship. He was an All-American setter who was also living a dream.
Ferraz and Garchet are not just connected by playing at the same school -- they actually met each other while in Brazil.
"I heard about him because we played for the same volleyball club," Ferraz said.
After transferring to Ball State, Garchet met Ferraz in the summer while playing at his former volleyball club. Ferraz happened to make a visit while Garchet was there. It was before Garchet's first year at Ball State and the two became close friends.
"He was just like a dad," Garchet said. "He was a person that I had that I could trust, even though it was a really hard situation of changing schools."
Ferraz was a great mentor for Garchet while in Brazil, but when he left for Ball State he would be leaving that behind. That's when Ferraz told the BSU-bound setter of his former friendship family, the Gorofolos.
Gary and Pat Gorofolo had hosted Ferraz at their house, because he actually went to Muncie Burris high school as a senior. He soon joined Munciana, a local volleyball club, which turned into a scholarship with Ball State. When Ferraz knew Garchet was coming to Ball State, he immediately told him about the Gorofolos, who welcome him with open arms.
"We come to the games, we have him for dinner, and we enjoy showing him different cultural experiences that he may not have ordinarily," Pat Gorofolo said.
The Gorofolos have become Garchet's parents away from Brazil, giving him all-around support.
"They are like my American parent," Garchet said. "They are always texting me to see if everything is going well. It's nice to have them around."
Again, Garchet was living the dream.
He had a new relationship with Eduardo Ferraz, one of the greatest setters in Ball State history, as a mentor in addition to a friendship family as his family away from Brazil.
With his experience in Brazil playing volleyball to his transition to Ball State, Garchet couldn't be happier with where life has taken him. The Cardinals were 22-8 in 2014 behind senior setter Graham McIlvaine. With McIlvaine's graduation, the position is just another opportunity for Garchet.
"I'm really blessed to be here," Garchet said. "This is an opportunity that many people dream about, but it doesn't happen."
You could say it is a dream, but for Garchet, all this is reality.

by here4unow from Tn | September 21, 2011
Bought this little sucker (92 tercel) when I was really needing wheels. Paid the guy 500 bux for it. She had 296,000 miles smoked a lil. I figured I would putt around for about 6 mos. then have to bury it. WRONG, 3 years later upto 320,000 miles now. Still smokes a lil,no more then when I got it. Gets 38 mpg. 4 spd manual tranny. It has never left me stranded. I love to drive this car, it's not very pretty to look at, but I pass broken down,pretty cars on the side of the road all the time (LOL)! Anyway....LOVE IT!

Best Car Ever
by ToyotaLover from Denver,CO | July 27, 2011
I have had a Toyota Tercel for 13 years and think it is the best car ever. I bought it used, and it has never broken down on me. I get fantastic gas milage, and it does great in the ice and snow. As a plus I have always felt super safe driving in it. I have been in one accident, and my Tercel barely had a scratch on it. The only downsides are no AC or cupholders in the model I own. If I could I would drive it for the rest of my life. Perfect car for getting around town!

Keep on Looking
by Older and Wiser Car Shopper from Milwaukee, WI | May 13, 2011
I bought a 1992 Tercel in 1999 when I was finishing college. After a series of barely running, hand-me-down cars, it was my first used certified Toyota Dealership car. I had it inspected by another Toyota Dealer. I heard great things about Toyota reliability...blah, blah, so I bought it. The car had 60,000 original miles and got a clean bill of health. I meticulously maintained it and got all recommended service done. I have never spent so much in recommended maintenance as I did with this car. At 75,000 miles the car started burning oil. By 85,000 I had plumes of blue and white smoke everytime the car started (be it summer or winter). Toyota dealers could never figure out what was wrong with it. Needless to say, it didn't pass emissions. I spent the state required emissions service to have the car pass. I ended up getting rid of the car for $100 (no one else wanted it without it passing emissions). I would recommend buying a Saturn or something newer for the same price or slightly higher. I found out the engines on most of these Tercels begin to self-destruct at 100,000. If it makes it past that with no issues, you're a lucky one. They were cheap throw away cars. I was burned by this over-priced Toyota. Now I buy American. I've never had the same issues with any of my American made cars. Keep on looking!

Mango Jump Start (08b): Application Data Storage on Windows Phone | Part 2
- Posted: Sep 06, 2011 at 4:04PM
Right click "Save as…"
Microsoft MVPs Rob Miles and Andy Wigley are back! The "Building Applications for Windows Phone "Mango" Jump Start" was hosted by Microsoft Learning as a follow-up to last year's Windows Phone 7 Jump Start sessions. Mobile application developers rave about the fast-paced, demo-rich, real-world and often-times humorous approach Rob and Andy use to deliver this timely content. Now that "Mango" has made such a huge splash in the industry, we've asked them to put together another great course.
This course is specially tailored for developers looking to build cool applications and games for the new Windows Phone Mango Platform.
This is the Part 2 of two videos covering module eight. In this demo-heavy section, Andy explains Application Data Storage on Windows Phone.
Part 1 covers how to store data in Isolated Storage, options for ApplicationSettings API, Data Serialization, Database Support in Windows Phone OS 7.1, and starts a section on LINQ to SQL.
Part 2 continues LINQ to SQL (including queries, Inserts, updates, deletes, and database schema upgrades), then Andy completes the module with a valuable section on performance and best practices.
Oops, something didn't work.

Not much has been said about nutrition, especially after a transplant, to boost the immune system. Maybe I missed the information, but most of us don't know how to rebuild our immune system after intense chemo. I have spoken to members of our support group in Michigan, and no one really knows what types of food help and which ones to avoid.
Input would be much appreciated!
Hi Anna,
You are absolutely correct that there is a lack of good information on the relationship between nutrition and the immune system, and how that relationship affects an immune system cancer--myeloma. The study of nutrition and the immune system is really still in its infancy, and there aren't articles in the medical literature to which we can turn. We were fortunate enough to find a very bright and able young naturopath in Portland, OR, who works for Providence Hospital's Integrative Medicine Clinic. His father is a hematologist/oncologist, and his approach is to base all of his recommendations on nutrition on published data. Here is a link to a teleconference on nutrition he did for the IMF that is archived on our web site:
I hope you'll find this helpful. Please don't hesitate to call the IMF Hotline if we can help further.

on March 24, 2013 - 10:37 PM
Dec. 9, 1943 – March 24, 2013
Stanley J. Keysa, whose record of public service includes winning election seven times as supervisor of the Town of Lancaster, died Sunday in Roswell Park Cancer Institute. He was 69.
Mr. Keysa died of a cerebral hemorrhage suffered Saturday afternoon. He also had been receiving treatment for cancer since he was diagnosed with the disease Dec. 19.
Mr. Keysa wore many hats, including those of lawyer, politician, military veteran, judge, business leader, local historian and family man.
Most recently, he served on the Erie Country control board since its inception in 2005. Then-Gov. George E. Pataki created the seven-member board to help stabilize the county's finances.
Mr. Keysa also was deeply involved in the evolving Niagara Aerospace Museum project.
His name was synonymous with public service in Lancaster. A registered Democrat, he served as town supervisor from 1975 to 1991.
Mr. Keysa's father, the late Stanley J. Keysa, was Lancaster's longest-serving supervisor, holding that office for 22 years from 1946 to 1968. The elder Mr. Keysa died while in office in what was his 11th term Aug. 31, 1968, at age 61, and the younger Mr. Keysa regularly worked on his father's campaigns.
The younger Mr. Keysa served in town and county government for four decades. He was a longtime chairman of the Lancaster Industrial Development Agency starting in 1976 and was chairman of numerous county boards, including the Erie County Sewer District Number 4 Board of Managers and the Erie County Emergency Services Steering Committee.
In 1991, he joined the administration of Dennis T. Gorski as economic development coordinator.
A lifelong resident of Lancaster, Mr. Keysa graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1960 and was an active alumnus. He graduated from Canisius College in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in history and had served as yearbook editor.
He graduated from Cornell Law School in 1967 and was editor of the Cornell Law Forum. Later in 1967, he was admitted to the New York State Bar.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1970, including a year in Vietnam, where he was a captain with the 52nd and 39th Signal battalions.
He was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service.
After his college and military service, Mr. Keysa returned to private law practice with his brother, the late James Keysa, and was appointed village justice in January 1971.
He won that office twice in village elections before resigning in 1975 to enter the race for town supervisor.
Mr. Keysa's long list of membership in community organizations includes Post 7275, Veterans of Foreign Wars; the Knights of Columbus; and Lancaster-Depew Moose Club.
He also was a member and former vice president of the Lancaster Historical Society.
Mr. Keysa helped to spearhead the restoration of St. Mary's Church in Lancaster and the Lancaster Opera House. He wrote a regular column on local history in the Lancaster Bee weekly newspaper.
He had a passion for local history. Retired Town Supervisor Bob Giza said he was in church one Sunday sitting near Mr. Keysa and one of his sons, when the priest asked the congregation if anyone knew where the cornerstone of the church was located.
"Of course no one said anything, and then Stanley leaned over to his son and said, 'They veneer-bricked it in 1937. It's behind the veneer brick.' I mean, who would know that?" said Giza.
Mr. Keysa's hobbies included historical architecture and its preservation, fine-scale modeling, cobblestone masonry, historical travels and woodworking. His wife of 44½ years, the former Marietta Reilly, said he also had a lifelong passion for flying.
Mr. Keysa and his late brother shared a law office at 5455 Broadway. It is the oldest house in Lancaster, built in about 1831, and is listed on the historical registry.
Survivors, besides his wife, include two sons, Stanley III and Matthew; a daughter, Bridget Polloway; his brother, Thomas; and a sister, Mary Keysa Lexo. A funeral Mass will be offered at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church, 1 St. Mary's Hill, Lancaster, after prayers at 8:45 in Zubrick-Amigone Funeral Home, 5615 Broadway.

LISBON - Columbiana County commissioners have abandoned plans made in July to restructure the Emergency Management Agency and will return to the current system of having a director and deputy director.
The news came to light after commissioners voted 3-0 this week to hire Lisa Elliott of Lisbon to serve as the EMA's new administrative assistant, a position formally held by interim EMA Director Edie Dillard.
When EMA Director Darren Dodson submitted his resignation in July, commissioners announced they were going to replace the director/deputy director structure with two deputy director positions. They promptly named Samantha Works to one of the positions, but she later quit to return to her old job.
Meanwhile, commissioners promoted Dillard to interim EMA director while they decided who to name to the positions permanently. The deputy EMA position is currently vacant.
After Elliott was hired to serve as administrative assistant, Commissioner Mike Halleck confirmed this meant they were returning to the original structure of having a director, deputy director and administrative assistant to perform clerical tasks, answer phones and other functions.
A candidate for commissioner in the recent election criticized the board for failing to name a permanent replacement to the EMA director position, especially after rejecting the finalists recommended for the job by the interview committee created by commissioners.
Halleck said the entire situation will likely be addressed in January. He has indicated before he might recommend Dillard for the job on a permanent basis.
As for Elliott, Halleck said she came well recommended for the job. She is the wife of courthouse maintenance man Jeff Elliott and will be paid $11.50 an hour.

Diagnostic Properties of Exercise Electrocardiographic Leads and Variables in the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
Viik, Jari
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2000-10-06

In Finland, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death among the middle-aged population. The exercise electrocardiographic (ECG) test is the most widely used non-invasive method of assessing CAD. However, diagnostic performance in conventional analysis of the exercise ECG is limited to approximately 75%; many patients in need of treatment may thus be excluded from subsequent examinations and too many are needlessly referred for further investigation, causing unnecessary anxiety. The objectives of this series of studies were to compare and assess the diagnostic properties of the ECG leads and to evaluate the effect of number and selection of leads on these properties in the detection of CAD, using different ST and ST/HR variables. Studies of the diagnostic properties of the standard 12 ECG leads and comparisons of the ST and ST/HR variables have been made in different clinical populations comprising 409 patients and subjects undergoing the computerized exercise ECG test: 128 patients with significant CAD proved by coronary angiography, 220 patients with a low likelihood of CAD, and 61 asymptomatic volunteer subjects. The principal statistical method adopted in comparing the discriminative capacities of the exercise ECG variables was receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Comparisons of sensitivity at fixed specificity were made using McNemar's modification of the χ2-test for paired proportions. Marked differences were observed in the diagnostic properties of individual leads. In each variable the highest areas under the ROC curves were in chest leads V5 and V6, and in limb leads I and –aVR. However, the cut-off criterion applied to leads I and aVR should be 50% smaller. The most deficient areas under the ROC curves were distinctly chest lead V1 and limb lead aVL in all variables (p < 0.0001 vs. V5 and I in each variable). The areas under the ROC curves for end-exercise ST-segment depression defined as maximum value over the lead set with 5, 9 and 12 leads were 0.894, 0.859 and 0.791, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed between each lead set. Comparison between the ECG variables showed the superiority of ST/HR hysteresis. In conclusion, the exercise ECG leads have dissimilar diagnostic properties in the detection of CAD and the fixed partition criterion for each lead is inappropriate. The diagnostic properties of ST/HR hysteresis were significantly better than those of the other exercise ECG variables used.

The Altoona Housing Authority has entered into a consent order with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh that requires it to pay $35,000 in damages to a black resident whom it tried to evict - allegedly for behavior that didn't lead to evictions for some white tenants.
The three-year order filed in federal court in Johnstown in the racial discrimination case of plaintiff Freda Neely does not include an admission of wrongdoing by the authority.
In addition to the damage payment, it requires biannual training of employees on fair housing, adoption of a policy for handling complaints by applicants and tenants, posting of a nondiscrimination policy in lease and management offices, inclusion of that policy in advertisements and filing of compliance reports to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
The consent order also requires the authority to provide Neely with a Section 8 housing subsidy voucher that she can take elsewhere, in keeping with her wish to move to the New Jersey-New York area, according to Dave Andrews, the authority's attorney in the case.
Neely didn't return a call for comment.
But former authority employee Karen Fletcher - a supporter of Neely - said she was surprised the payment to Neely wasn't higher - like $50,000 or $75,000.
The case grew out of a 2009 incident, in which police cited Neely for disorderly conduct for "screaming and yelling and using obscene language [and] causing public alarm" in an altercation with a neighbor. Shortly afterward, the authority moved to evict Neely from its Fairview Hills housing project without permitting a grievance hearing, based on its "one-strike" policy that doesn't require a hearing if there's a charge of criminal activity that threatens the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment by authority residents, according to HUD's charging document.
Neely filed a discrimination complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and HUD.
The authority eventually asked for the case to go from the administrative jurisdiction of HUD to federal district court, which meant the U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted the case.
According to the federal complaint, the authority
didn't apply its one-strike policy "in numerous instances involving white tenants with lease violations that were as serious or more serious than the lease violation committed by Ms. Neely."
For example, it didn't apply the policy in the case of white Tenant A, according to the complaint. In one instance, Tenant A's ex-boyfriend complained she was harassing him and threatening suicide. In another, neighbors complained the tenant was screaming, yelling and hitting her parents. In another, she was arrested for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, later pleading guilty to both. And in other instances, an unauthorized person living in her unit caused a disturbance, and she allegedly screamed and punched holes in her walls.
The authority only moved to evict her after getting a call from the Human Relations Commission, asking why Tenant A was apparently treated more favorably than Neely, according to the complaint.
The authority agreed to the mediated settlement as a "business decision" to avoid the cost of defending itself over several years against Neely's charge, according to Andrews.
Pre-trial discovery can get very expensive, he said.
Beyond the damages imposed by the consent order, the costs of the case for the authority were "not all that much," Andrews said.
He didn't know the exact amount.
Despite what someone might conclude from the damages payment, there was no "unequal treatment" of Neely, Andrews said.
There was no racism intended by the board or staff, according to authority member Scott Brown.
The case was not really about racism but about playing "the race card," he said. "It was legal extortion."
The authority needed to decide whether it should "die over principle" or "settle before you go broke," he said.
The real victims in the case are "all the people this money could help," he said.

"Comparative law and finance" quantifies differences in the laws governing the business enterprise in various countries. The resulting data can be used to test which legal institutions (if any) matter for financial development. Until recently only cross-sectional data were available. We report the results of a new approach to coding which has produced longitudinal datasets on shareholder, creditor and worker protection.

Cell counts are routinely performed in life science, clinical, and industrial laboratories to monitor cell growth rates, to measure seeding densities, to establish counts for data normalization, and to determine initial counts for experimental protocols. Traditionally, these counts are performed manually using hemocytometers. However, in addition to being laborious, this approach suffers from large errors and variability.
Alternatives to hemocytometer-counting include high-end flow cytometers, Coulter-counting systems, and, more recently, imaging-based systems. The former systems are prohibitively expensive in both initial costs and the significant maintenance requirements. In contrast, imaging-based systems present researchers with the trade-off of realizing lower cost and ease-of-use at the expense of count precision and accuracy.
Orflo Technologies recently introduced the Moxi Z mini-automated cell counter as a new alternative that bridges the gap in performance vs. cost and usability. Specifically, the Moxi Z utilizes the gold-standard Coulter Principle to provide three parameters of information regarding cell cultures: 1) precise cell sizing, 2) overall culture health, and 3) highly accurate cell counts.
At the core of the Moxi Z technology is a precise, volumetric (3D) electrical measurement of each cell or particle as it passes through an aperture (Coulter Principle). The resulting output is a high-resolution histogram that provides exact sizing information for each particle as well as a valuable perspective of the culture composition. The accuracy (r2>0.999) and precision of the Moxi Z particle sizing was illustrated through comparison (Figure 1A) of Moxi Z measured diameters of precision calibrated beads with manufacturer-reported values (3.0 µm, 4.17 µm, 5.6 µm, 7.5 µm, 10.1 µm, 15.6 µm, and 25.0 µm diameters). Furthermore the high-resolution histogram (e.g., Figure 1A inset—five bead mixture) demonstrates the size discrimination capabilities of the instrument.
The quality of the sizing information provided by the Moxi Z strongly contrasts with the imprecision inherent in 2D image-based approaches that attempt to estimate cell size using image interpolation. Consequently, the Moxi Z uniquely enables size-based discrimination and analysis of cell sub-populations and a correspondingly more robust means of separating debris counts from cell counts. This degree of information allows researchers to quantitatively monitor and study size-based changes to their cell populations.
The histogram sizing and shape also provides a means of monitoring culture health. One example of this is shown in Figure 1B, highlighting differences in histogram shapes for a healthy Jurkat population (Figure 1B, blue) versus a mix of healthy and heat-killed (60°C for 30 min, followed by overnight incubation at 37°C) Jurkat cells (Figure 1B, red). Increases in counts in the 4–8 µm range of the histogram reflect increased dead cell and debris counts.
The histogram change is quantified as an MPI value, that is a ratio of the core cell population to the total particle population. Changes in the MPI values and histogram shape can additionally uncover potential microbial contamination in cultures through their contributions to smaller particle counts as they colonize/aggregate.
In this regard, the MPI and monitoring of changes in histogram shapes can provide a level of quality control for the cultures by potentially signaling size changes associated with cellular mutations, cell cycle, variations in media composition, or other environmentally induced health changes.
Cell count information serves as the foundation for experimental protocols such as in the determination of the quantities of (costly) reagents and the cell seeding densities necessary for downstream processing. Count information is also often applied to the normalization of results in data analysis, thereby imposing a strict requirement for both consistency and accuracy.
To gauge the Moxi Z counting performance, Moxi Z counts were compared to equivalent counts from a high-cost system that has long been used as a reference-standard in cell counting. Initial concentrations of 2e6–2.5e6 cells/mL for varying cell types were created through dilution in HBSS. Subsequent concentration levels were established through ratiometric serial dilutions and measured on both systems.
As shown in Figure 2, the Moxi Z achieves a comparable count accuracy (r2 > 0.994) to that of the higher-cost system across a broad dynamic range (3e3–2.5e6 cells/mL). Furthermore, compared to manual and imaging-based approaches, the Moxi Z demonstrates a much higher level of repeatability with coefficients of variations of <5% vs. 30–40% for image-based systems (data not shown). As a result, the Moxi Z assures researchers a level of consistency and accuracy in their count data that is irrespective of the technician performing the counts.

Emmerton, Mursak or Jarnkrok will NOT be replacing Abdelkader anytime soon...sorry, your 3rd line is a pipedream...Plus Abdelkader is far better than Emmerton or Mursak. Other than that, I like your team, but the more Semin gets demoted, the less I like him. Also, too much money for Lidstrom and not enough for Suter or Parise, unless they sign 10 year contracts.
Bottom line is, Lidstrom needs to tell Holland he will take what's left after going HARD after Suter and Parise and offering them the world to finish their career's here...THEN and ONLY THEN should Lidstrom consider re-signing. No way Holland gets EITHER of Parise or Suter if he waits on Lidstrom and then gives him $6.2M ($4.5M is also too much) again...Nick needs to do right by his fans and this team...retire or take the HUGE paycut to insure the teams future as perennial contenders... without Suter and Parise, they won't be.
1) my whole post is a pipedream. none of this crap is going to really happen. we'll roll out the exact same crappy team next season that we have for the last three seasons.
2) what is it about abdelkader that is "better" than anyone else?
3) agree on lidstrom...that's what should happen. but no, we will give him probably 6.0 mil for another season. and give homer another 1.5 so nick has someone to carpool with.
LOL Abby, Eaves and Kindl are just gone like that? Plus, who is going to trade for Cleary and Bert? I'm assuming those are salary dump deals. An entire line of players that has very little NHL experience doesn't seem like something Holland would do. Its fine that you come up with these plans and rosters and lines, but the theme of this is thread is "what would Ken Holland really do?". I don't see him trading Bert, Cleary, Eaves and Kindl and just letting Abdelkader go. I also don't see us signing both Parise AND Suter. One other thing you're not taking into account is that Filppula, White and Howard will all be UFA's next summer. Datsyuk will be a UFA the year after that. If we're signing all these players for multi-year contracts and spending up to the cap, how do we retain these other players going forward? Its not as easy as, "we can mathematically fit them onto our team next year so let's do it". Its unfortunately a lot more difficult than that which is why Holland will have a tough time this summer.
1a) let abby walk. 1b) trade kindl and eaves for whatever prospects/picks you can get...or for absolutely nothing if you can't get anything...or just put them through waivers and let them make their money in grand rapids next year if you have to.
2) exact same deal for cleary and bert.
3) no, holland wouldn't do that. holland won't do anything. he'll just roll out the exact same crappy team again in another desperate attempt to maintain the status quo that's been dwindling since bowman left.
4) lidstrom finally retiring gives us cap space to pay their raises.
You don't ask the 7 time Norris trophy winning captain and face of the franchise to take a HUGE paycut. Maybe he just makes $5.5 this year or $5, but anything less, unless suggested by Lidstrom himself, is insulting. I mean, I understand he didn't have a great year, but he didn't have a great year in 2004 either. Everybody's numbers were down this year and he was no exception. If Lidstrom decides against retirement, Holland needs to give him a Lidstrom worthy contract.
As for being with Suter and Parise, they're not getting both. That's not realistic. As I mentioned in another thread, someone will drastically overpay for Parise and he'll be out of our price range. Suter's a defenseman and defense is really going high the past couple years, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him get out of our range too. For them to come here, we would need them to WANT to be here. If they chase the money, we'll have neither.
Realistic moves by Holland would be signing Scott Hannan, a defensive minded defenseman that helped Calgary's PK this past season. Michal Rozsival, a puck moving defenseman with good hockey sense. Maybe they get Matt Carle from Philly. Dominic Moore, a good two way center with some offensive upside. Sammy Pahlsson or maybe we go after Paul Gaustad since we saw first hand how effective he can be in the playoffs. Maybe they take a chance on Brad Boyes, a former 40 goal scorer, I'd imagine he'd come cheap. These are the types of moves Holland will realistically make. Its not Holland's style, since the cap was put in place, to go after the crown jewels of the free agency class. It IS his style to go after low priced players and get a lot out of them.
boy, isn't that an exciting team with stanley cup potential!!
to hell with lidstrom's mega-millionaire feelings.
i love Lids, but if he does intend on signing for another season he should do the Org a fav and take a big paycut. How would it go down if Lids demands $6m again and we lose out on Suter by not having enough to offer him to come here, after all its a business. I say try and tie up Suter long tem first and then tell Lids this is what we have to play with and can offer you $?m's. Hopefully Nic will help out before any of this came up. I can't imagine us losing out on a guy who could be the cornerstone of the team for the next 10years because we wanted to keep our exsisting one for another season. Just something to think about eh.
unfortunately, that's exactly what's going to happen.

Mergers and acquisitions in the business world are picking up again, to the relief of bored investment bankers everywhere.
Deal data
The combination of SCBT Financial Corp. and First Finaical Holdings Inc. will create a regional bank with about $8.3 billion in assets, $6.9 billion in deposits and $6.1 billion in loans. The $302 million deal required approval from regulators and shareholders. It's expected to close in the third quarter, but it will take about another year to integrate the two companies.Some other key facts about the merger:Branches: The bank will have about 150 in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Some existing overlapping locations will be closed. The bank has not decided which ones will close or what name will be used on the retail offices after the merger. Ownership: The bank's holding company will become First Financial Holdings Inc. Its stock will trade as FFCH.Dividend: Annual payout is anticipated to be 31 cents per share. For First Financial shareholders, who now get 20 cents, that's a 55 percent increase.Key executives: Robert Hill Jr. remains CEO. Wayne Hall of First Financial becomes president. Board members: Orangeburg attorney Robert R. Horger will remain chairman of the board, which will include five First Financial directors. Paula Harper Bethea, the South Carolina lottery chief and chair of First Financial, will be vice chair. Also, the combined bank will have a local advisory board in Charleston.Source: SCBT
Rival retailers Office Depot and OfficeMax are combining as they struggle to compete against industry giant Staples.
Billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is part of a group that's buying ketchup icon H.J. Heinz. US Airways is pairing off with ailing American Airlines to form the world's largest carrier.
Out of nowhere, it seems, this M&A wave crashed onto Charleston's shores early Wednesday. Few saw the $302 million buyout of First Financial Holdings Inc. on the horizon. After all, this is a company with legs, with longevity, with growth plans.
The deal is particularly noteworthy locally because First Financial traces its roots to the Great Depression. Its stock is part of many a local investment portfolio. Its main business, First Federal, has remained independent for nearly eight decades. And over that time, the bank grew to become the largest and oldest lender headquartered in the Charleston region.
Now its stock is being snapped by SCBT Financial Corp., an acquisitive Columbia-based bank owner that's also been around since the early 1930s. The combination will create the fifth-largest lender in South Carolina based on deposits, and one that plans to get much bigger.
"It's really about building a platform that puts us in place to build a dominant Southeastern bank in a changing banking landscape," said Robert R. Hill Jr., chief executive officer of SCBT.
Right time
The idea behind the merger took root in 2009, soon after Wayne Hall was promoted to CEO of First Financial and First Federal.
"We've met several times since then, but it was either not the right time for one company or another," Hill said Wednesday. "But we always both thought at some point, when the time was right, that we knew our companies complemented each other in such a significant way, and that it would be good for all involved."
They decided that 2013 would be the year to make it happen. The senior management teams huddled face to face for the first time to talk about a merger about three weeks ago, he said.
Hill called the deal a "natural fit" and "a low-risk transaction" between "two like-minded companies."
"We've basically been neighbors for about 80 years," he said. "We've operated in each other's backyards for years. We know each other's customers. We know each other's companies and styles. That alone gives us great comfort."
Hill, a 1988 Citadel graduate who will remain CEO after the merger, stressed that SCBT and First Financial share some overlap and duplication, but for the most part the companies bring unique strengths to the deal. For example, his bank is a player along the bustling Interstate 85 corridor between Charlotte and Atlanta, while First Federal is more dominant along the coast and has a more robust mortgage business.
"So where we're stronger they weren't as strong and vice versa," Hill said. "You put the two together and we have an incredible overall presence."
Putting banks together has been a hallmark of Hill, whose stated goal had been to complete two deals a year and who has been positioning SCBT as a "consolidator" in the Carolinas. The First Financial acquisition is a different animal from the others, which in recent years have involved mostly small or troubled lenders.
"I'd say this transaction for both companies has a lot more to do with the next 10 years than the next 10 months," Hill said.
Hill sees a prolonged shakeout ahead for the lending business, which is still recovering from the last real estate meltdown and the 2008 financial crisis. He has said that the number of U.S. banks could shrivel by more than 40 percent to 4,500, either by choice or by necessity.
"There will be people who will be looking for partners, and we want to be a partner of choice," said Hill, who plans to take a break from acquisitions until after all of the SCBT and First Financial operations are integrated.
Seeking dominance
SCBT's $18.30 a share stock-swap with First Financial is expected to be finalized in the third quarter. It will bring together a pair of community banks that opened their doors in the early 1930s.
Hill called First Federal "the gold standard of banking in Charleston and the other communities" it has served since it was founded as a savings and loan association on Broad Street almost 79 years ago.
SCBT's predecessor started around the same time in Orangeburg. The bank expanded in 2006 to the Charleston region, where it now has five branches.
Under Hill, it was fully expected that SCBT would make a local acquisition. Few thought it would take this long. Fewer still would have guessed it would be the stalwart First Federal.
Viewed one way, it's the loss of yet another cherished homegrown institution, even though the business itself won't be going anywhere and is likely to add jobs at its North Charleston operations center as part of SCBT. Seen another way, First Federal has in some ways been breaking loose from its past under Wayne Hall's leadership.
A finance guy who previously was the bank's No. 3 executive, Hall set out to repair the battered balance sheet and stem a run of real estate-related losses when he took the reins as CEO in 2009.
At the same time, Hall began transforming First Federal from an S&L with limited lending capabilities into a full-fledged commercial bank that could work with larger businesses. It switched charters a year ago.
"You want to be able to diversify your balance sheet. ... You want to be able to serve all customers," Hall said Wednesday.
The three-year overhaul at First Financial and First Federal hasn't been easy or painless. Senior bankers were shown the door, and new blood was brought in. Businesses were shed. Bad loans were written off and unloaded on the cheap.
The efforts began to pay off last year, which included a return to financial stability and a string of acquisitions that added to the bank's footprint in the Hilton Head Island, Grand Strand and Greenville markets.
Now it's about to become part of much larger organization with accelerated growth plans that's already looking ahead to cities like Raleigh and Richmond.
"We believe it's going to create a dominant Southeast institution," Hall said.

That's my take as well.
$2-3M???? Stuart is worth more like $4-5M.
Anyway, he ain't coming back, thats why we got Quincey.
Seems as though most people are fully aware of his desire to play in California for the remainder of his career.
That said - Quincey can be a decent #4/#5 Dman on the Red Wings, and I'm guessing he'll sign a 3 to 5 year deal sometime this spring/summer.

BELLWOOD - It's a good bet the District 6 Class A high school football field knows that top-seeded Bellwood-Antis is going to be a tough draw when the playoffs open next weekend.
With the Blue Devils going down to the wire with top-seeded Class AA Richland Friday night, things may have gotten even a little tougher.
With both teams putting 9-0 records on the line, Richland turned a turnover into a touchdown, and then played enough defense when it mattered to deal the Blue Devils a 14-7 setback in the final regular-season game for both clubs.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Bellwood-Antis' Tanner Snyder watches while Richland's Kyle Flick intercepts a pass intended for him on Friday night in Bellwood. Flick returned the pass 37 yards for one of Richland's two touchdowns.
Bellwood-Antis will host either Glendale or Blairsville next Friday, while Richland will host either Penn Cambria or Juniata.
"Being undefeated was never one of our goals, but it certainly is a great opportunity," Bellwood coach John Hayes said. "It hurts because we didn't win, but the way we played ... I know there are no moral victories, but we played toe-to-toe with an extremely good football team and we just came up a play short."
Neither team scored in the first quarter, a quarter that featured turnovers by both clubs. Richland quarterback Matt Shaffer was picked off by Casey Gray on the first play of the game. Gray returned the favor later in the quarter. Bellwood had the ball at the Richland 6, but Gray fumbled as he ran toward the goal line. The Rams got the ball back at the 1 with 2:14 to go in the quarter.
Richland tried a fake punt on its own 20 to start the second quarter on a fourth-and-three and was stopped by the Bellwood defense. However, the Blue Devils ended up losing 11 yards on the series in turning the ball back over on downs to the Rams.
"Coming in, knowing there was no playoff seeding on the line ... we were probably too aggressive with our play calling," Richland coach Brandon Bailey said.
"We missed a couple of opportunities that could have made things different, especially in the first half with that turnover down there. That's just part of football," Hayes added.
A 5-yard punt hurt the Blue Devils towards the end of the first half, as Richland set up shop at the Blue Devil 38. It took the Rams just three plays to score as tailback Dominic Farina scored on a 5-yard run with 1:24 to go on the clock. The PAT kick was blocked and Bellwood trailed, 6-0.
"Dominic might not be a starter, but we value him as a starter," Bailey said.
Behind quarterback Seth Worthing, who attempted 24 passes in the game, the Blue Devils marched from their 35 down to the Richland 8 in the final moments of the first half. On a third-and-goal, Worthing rolled left, but because he was escaping the rush, he did not have time to set and throw the ball.
Worthing threw the ball toward tight end Ian O'Shea, who was open on the play. He was in the end zone, but had to come back for the ball. He dove and caught it at the 1-yard line, but time expired leaving Bellwood with an empty feeling on offense again.
"We didn't capitalize on some things. We missed making a big play when we needed it but sometimes you have to tip your hat [to the other team]. They were probably most responsible for that," Hayes said.
Bellwood scored on its first drive of the second half, going 60 yards in six plays, all on the ground, as Haden DeGennaro scored on a 31-yard run. Tyler Campbell's PAT kick made it 7-6.
Bellwood forced a punt on Richland's next possession, and this time, Richland's defense stole the spotlight. On a second-and-9 from his own 34, Worthing was picked off by Kyle Flick who returned the interception 37 yards for a touchdown. The ball was tipped off the receiver's hands. The two-point conversion pass was good and the Rams led, 14-7, with 4:53 to go in the third.
"I was just hoping [Fleck] would make it to the end zone," Bailey said. "We were excited to come over here and play a storied program like Bellwood in a great atmosphere and get the win."
Richland punter Nico Pecora made a big play with a punt that pinned the Blue Devils at their own 1 with under five minutes to go in the game. However, behind a little bit of running and some big passing, the Blue Devils got the ball down to the Richland 33.
"Once we got the lead, we decided to rely on our defense to win the game," Bailey said.
They did.
On fourth-and-14 with 1:12 to go in the game, Worthing was picked off for the third time to end the Blue Devils' night.
"We have a great chance to come back next week and play again," Hayes said. "Any athlete after a tough loss wants to chance to go back out on the field, and from what I heard from our kids [after the game], it leads me to believe we will be ready."

I'm very excited to see the beautiful space that is the Google YouTube offices in San Bruno, CA. Working with this team, including the pastry chef has been a dream. Did you know that the ingredients are local, organic and fair-traded? The pastry team is making the Ganache Glazed Chocolate Torte to Live For, both wheat and gluten free versions and serving the Vanilla Pastry Cream from Vegan Chocolate. My cookbook trailer, as seen on YouTube will be shown and some of the ingredients from the recipes will be set out in an area of the cafe. I'll be available to answer questions about the recipes. Do you think the googlers will like the cakes? I'll be surprised if they don't. Books will be available for purchase.
See the Frank Gehry-designed Binoculars Building just two blocks from the beach and you'll have found Google Los Angeles. I'm certainly looking forward to doing an Authors@Google talk and demonstration cooking class. As this is google, the food is fresh, organic and very vegan friendly. I'm making the Chocolate Torte to Live For, Ganache Glazed and serving the cakes with Vanila Cream and fresh berries. A YouTube Video will be made and I'll post the link. Working at Google LA has it's benefits.
The Arizona Vegetarian Food Festival takes place on January 9th and 10th, 2016, at the Scottsdale Civic Amphitheater in Scottsdale, AZ. I'll be doing chocolate demos at 12:15pm each day.
