Lassi, a Food Lover's Best Friend
By Ashley Beck | January 23, 2013
"ENDORSED DAILY BY A BILLION INDIANS. DON'T BELIEVE US? CALL A RANDOM INDIAN AND ASK THEM WHY THEY LOVE LASSI. +91-11-XXXX-XXXX (choose your number)".
With a tagline that's confident (if not a little bit cheeky), it's no wonder Monsieur Singh is making waves, but they sure have the product to. Lassi, a yogurt drink commonly consumed in India, is traditionally mixed with water and mildly salted. Sweet variations are mixed with fruit, and more medicinal versions often contain spices such as turmeric or cumin. Read More

This morning hubby and I made a pact to try to never allow ourselves to put some popular kid show actor or character at such a high regard that we forget they are human. We vow to remember that they are not good role model material- ever. No matter how wholesome they appear today, I promise you, someday they will disappoint you. Because they are human. And they are not thinking "I'm a role model" with every action they take and temptation they encounter.
I remember being frustrated by this very thing when people got all hot and bothered about some High School Musical scandal and I am annoyed to no end by how high up people place Oprah and then get upset when she doesn't act out the moral life or beliefs that you think she should. If Joe or Steve from Blues Clues were to go off the deep end, I'd probably not be outraged, I'd think "it's about time."
These are people, people! They are going to fail. They are not perfect and more often that not, if you're watching them on TV or in a movie, they are fake. They aren't real. Just a character created in a script by someone else with who knows what type of moral values or beliefs.
And I know some of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the controversy of late is parental involvement and so forth, but you have to think back to when you were fifteen. I imagine that people are getting worked up because their eight year olds look up to this starlet so much, but again, she's not eight years old.
Although I don't really remember that far back, I imagine the role models of yesteryears were our mothers and grandmothers and aunts. Just regular people that actually cared about your life and they weren't one dimensional where you only see into their life but they have no clue who you or your child is. These people invested in you as much as you invested in them.
And when moms or aunts or daughters disappoint, you learn and move on. It's usually not too controversial. Hopefully it doesn't make the front-page news. It's often a learning experience. It's part of life. I want you to know that I will probably disappoint you. Maybe this post itself is disappointing you right now. I'm not perfect, not even close, and don't even try to be. Right now I am trying to finish typing this while I'm half-reading That's Not My Train in between thoughts to Gray on my lap. I'm still trying to figure this life all out and will try to remember that everyone else is, too. Even if they are magnified 50-times larger than life on a movie screen or billboard. They are still as small and as important as you and I. And are in no position to ever be someone I want my child to look up to.

LGWers...I need your assistance and feedback. I am looking for help compiling a list of all the people that have been Kronwalled as well as some feedback. I built a site that will serve as a running list and correlating videos. I will add any new hits to the site so now you can find all the hits in one easy place.
What I need:
- Did I miss any hits? If so, please provide who, a link to the hit, and if at all possible, the date the hit happened. I have a few more names on my list that have not been added, mainly because it's hard to find individual videos for them.
- Feedback on the site. Does it work in your browser? Does something look awesome, stupid, wrong? Please let me know. I'm open to all criticism.

This goof directs most of our photo shoots, if you can't tell. Take a picture of me taking a nap!* Oft times I don't even have the camera near, so I make a rectangle-shape with my fingers and sound a "chhck". It usually works.
This week's small style....
tank: shirin via the mini social
jeans: tea collection (use code MSALE20 for an extra 20% off sale prices, ends 5/30)
Linking up with the weekly Small Style at Mama Loves Papa.
*Take a picture of yourself "taking a nap" on a Serta iComfort mattress now through 5/30 and you could win one! A couple weeks back I went to the Serta headquarters and picked out my new bed (I chose the "Genius" style [king size, adjustable, with massager ohhhhh yes] -with four to choose from, which one would you want?) Contest details here.
Can I just say how scared I was to take down our current bed? Because I was terrified of what I might find underneath it. I honestly was certain there had to be a family of racoons or a huge spider nest or worse- bed bugs- but thankfully all I found was shoes I forgot I owned, Lego guy arms and lightsabers, and -how awesome is this?- an unopened King mattress protector.
And also, in case you are curious about my thought process for this post, I actually blogged just as usual for small style, including Ivy asking me to take a picture of her napping. And then after I saved that to drafts I found out my Serta mattress was getting delivered and they were having the whole contest this weekend and I was like, hey, I can work that into this post. So there you go.
Oh, be sure to subscribe to my blog & follow me on twitter - you don't want to miss another chance to win when I'll be giving away an iComfort bed of your choice (yes that includes the adjustable with massager if you want), soon! But- then you'll have to clean underneath your bed, so...
Also, the important legal disclosure stuff: Serta is delivering an iComfort Genius bed to my house today! and they paid for my travel, hotel, and hot stone massage ahhhhhhh when I visited their headquarters in Chicago two weeks ago, and they are also giving me a stipend for tax purposes (awesome.) The words I've said here are my own- thankfully!- and have not been changed or altered or even requested to be posted.

Green Day, of course, pummeled, powered, and pulled out all the stops during their two-plus hour set, reaching deep into their expansive back catalog and using every crowd-pleasing trick in the rock-band hat. And then they invented a few more stunts just for the sake of it. Seriously, if it weren't for the city of Chicago's noise ordinances, they'd probably still be at it.
Bottle-blonde Billie Joe Armstrong bounded back and forth across the stage, led the crowd in countless sing-a-longs, pranced, danced, collapsed, rose again, and at one point, played a solo with his guitar behind his head. While standing on one leg. He pulled kids young and old from the crowd--letting them sing choruses (on "East Jesus Nowhere") or entire songs ("Longview," which was belted out by a kid who totally, completely killed it), assisting them in stage dives, or fire off water cannons. He shouted "Chicago!" more times than the entire Daley clan combined. He donned a feather boa. He mooned the crowd. He fired off T-shirt cannons and toilet paper guns. And at no point did he appear to even be the slightest bit tired.
"They said they're gonna pull the plug on us at 10 ... I told them to kiss my f--king ass, we'll play for as long as we want," he shouted at one point.
"You paid your hard-earned money to buy a ticket to tonight," he yelled later in the set. "It is my honor and my privilege to give you the best f---ing show you've ever seen in your life."
And judging by the boundless energy displayed by his Green Day mates, he wasn't the only one feeling this way. Mike Dirnt scowled and strutted, always keeping his bass thuddingly precise. Tre Cool vamped it up on an extended version of the Isley Brother's "Shout" (while wearing a sun hat, horn-rimmed spectacles and a red brazier, it should be noted), and kept the back beat cracking. At this point, Green Day are a poundingly precise Rock and Roll machine, as evidenced by the covers they effortlessly worked into the set--everything from the opening riffs of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," and the first verse of the Guns 'N Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" to the chorus of the Beatles' "Hey Jude"--and the sheer spectacle of their show, an eye-popping, ear-splitting series of pyro bursts and fireworks explosions.

Country star Jana Kramer may be engaged to Brantley Gilbert but don't expect her to go easy on her fiancé this weekend in Las Vegas.
The future husband and wife are competing Sunday for the same best new artist trophy at the Academy of Country Music Awards (along with duo Florida Georgia Line).
"We're up against each other and we've got our gloves on!" Kramer, 29, tells PEOPLE, jokingly.
The two became engaged on Gilbert's 28th birthday at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., the site of the former Grand Ole Opry stage.
Kramer, who some people remember as Alex Dupre from One Tree Hill, left Hollywood for Nashville to pursue her singing dreams.
"I'm now living in Nashville and I love it so much," Kramer says. "I'm so thankful I did. "I do miss acting a little bit and maybe in the future I'll try to make both of them work, but right now I'm just focusing on my music."
Kramer will be on tour all summer with Blake Shelton, as well as headlining the Stagecoach music festival this year.
Tune in for the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, April 7 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

April 30, 1968 – March 22, 2013
Michael D. Whitfield, of Buffalo, a retired city firefighter, died Friday in Erie County Medical Center after a brief illness. He was 44.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Whitfield was educated at Grover Cleveland High School and Medaille College. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army and became a firefighter in the Buffalo Fire Department before later retiring about five years ago after being injured on duty.
Mr. Whitfield was an award-winning firefighter after making life-saving efforts on the job, according to his mother, Faye, who added that her son also ran his own construction business, which he named Absolute Construction.
Besides his mother, Mr. Whitfield is survived by two sons, Michael Seay and Preston Michael Whitfield; a daughter, Jessica Marie; and two sisters, Yvonne and Tracey Avent.
A service will be at noon Saturday in Brian K. Lewis Funeral Home, 347 Peckham St.

This is a guest post from Michael Krigsman of TechRepublic's sister site ZDNet. You can follow Michael on his ZDNet blog IT Project Failures, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
Seeking to back up 350GB in safe, reliable, off-site storage, I tried Carbonite and Mozy, two of the most respected names in the online backup market. Both products failed miserably to achieve my goals, each one in a perversely different way.Carbonite offers a simple, set-and-forget solution that should make life easy. In my case, something bad happened along the way because I can no longer restore files reliably. This screen capture shows what happens when I try to restore files using the company's remote access feature:
As you can see, Carbonite can't find my selected file. Would this message inspire confidence that your backup is safe?
Carbonite tech support was quite helpful trying to diagnose and solve the problem. However, my luck ran out after support submitted the issue to the developers for further research and fixing. At that stage, support essentially said the developers will handle my issue when they want, with no time horizon and not even a pat on the back.
Based on that interaction, I decided to try Mozy instead.
Mozy support is singularly unhelpful, sending canned solutions and ignoring the actual problem descriptions in my emails.My new backup solution. Since the need for offsite backup remains, I plan to install a remote hard drive at a friend's house and use a backup program to transfer my data for safekeeping.
Given the economics of software as a service (SaaS) vendors, poor support is hardly a surprise. These vendors survive by keeping costs low, so they can offer inexpensive prices to consumers. Both Carbonite and Mozy charge about five bucks a month, which doesn't leave much room for in-depth customer assistance.
My lousy backup experience illustrates both positive and negative aspects of cheap cloud computing. When the cloud works, everything is great; but woe unto him (or her) that hits a speed bump.

In honor of National Pencil Day, I created some encouraging pencil flags for your kiddos! When I was teaching, I tried to write a few notes each week to a couple of kids in the class as a way to encourage them. I wish I would have thought of creating some pencil flags:)
A Few Fun Pencil Facts:
1. A single pencil can write 45,000 words or draw a line that is 35 miles long!
2. A pencil can write in water.
3. Manufactures painted the first pencils in yellow because the color was associated with royalty and honor.

About this story
Sometimes a story comes along and you know it's going to resonate with people.
Kylie's story is one of them.
Kylie is a 9-year-old Roscoe girl who likes school, riding her bike, playing with her American Girl dolls and just being a regular kid.
But Kylie isn't a regular kid. Kylie was born without fingers on her left hand, making a lot of the things she likes to do a challenge.
Rockford Register Star photographer Brent Lewis and I have been spending the past week getting to know Kylie, her parents, the students at Boylan Catholic High School, their teacher Bud May, and a bunch of other people who are playing a role in making Kylie a prosthetic hand.
The class is using a 3-D printer and following instructions May found on the Internet to make the device, which has become increasingly popular among children around the world the past two years.
This is a story about a father's persistence, a little girl who longs to do things that most people take for granted and a small group of high school students who jumped at the opportunity to help her.
Today's article is a just a glimpse at the amazing process that brought everybody together. Brent and I plan to bring you more in the weeks to come. We just couldn't wait to share some of it.
— Corina Curry
ROCKFORD — The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement for 10 Boylan Catholic High School students and a 9-year-old Roscoe girl, brought together by the girl's need for a low-cost prosthetic hand and the students' willingness to help.
Kylie Wicker, a third-grader at Whitman Post Elementary School, was born without fingers on her left hand. The bubbling ball of energy with long brown hair and a dimpled smile was accustomed to other kids staring and asking questions. This year was different, said her dad, Jeromy Wicker.
"You could tell. ... It was starting to bother her," Jeromy said.
Insurance would only cover the cost of one prosthetic in her lifetime, Wicker said, so the family planned to wait until Kylie was done growing to get her a full-blown prosthesis with built-in sensors that can read muscle commands.
Those can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Another option presented itself earlier this year. Jeromy wondered what other kids were doing while they waited to be "big enough" for a hand or an arm or a leg. He started looking online. What he found blew him away.
The Internet was filled with stories from around the world about a new invention — a prosthetic hand made using a 3-D printer and instructions the creators posted online for free, for anyone to use.
Wicker started looking for a 3-D printer in the area and someone who might be willing to take on the challenge. His search led him to Boylan Catholic High School where 10 enthusiastic engineering graphics students jumped at the chance to make a difference in the little girl's life.
"I brought it to the students and they were immediately up, 'Yeah, let's do it,' " Instructor Bud May said. "Everybody was for it."
The students and May met the Wickers last week.
May took some measurements of Kylie's hand and wrist, and the students started using a 3-D printer that was donated to the school last year to make the plastic fingers and a thumb. Kylie asked for a purple one and a pink one.
The students plan to present the finished product to Kylie and her parents Friday at the school.
As for Kylie, she's most excited about the simple things that her new prosthetic will let her do.
"Catching a ball, doing the monkey bars," she said.
Kylie smiled and nodded her head to a number of other tasks that her parents mentioned from dressing her American Girl dolls to having better control when she's riding her bike.
Page 2 of 2 - "It's the little stuff that we take for granted that we don't even notice that she can't do right now that she'll be able to do," said Kylie's mom, Sharon Wicker. "Even when she's eating, if she's taking a bite of something, she can't just grab her drink and take a drink real quick. She has to set it all down."
The production cost for Kylie's prosthetic is only about $5, May said. It consists of about 30 parts — the molded plastic pieces that act as fingers, cables, shock cords, metal pins and a wrist form.
"It's amazing. This is all out there on the public domain," May said. "You just scale the entire set up or down to fit the hand."

Remote work is becoming increasingly important for organizations that are attempting to drive down their costs and to become more agile by enabling employees to work from any location - at home, at customers' sites, in remote offices, etc. Moreover, the US and other governments have become significant proponents of the telework concept as a means of reducing their costs and to support various "green" initiatives.
To efficiently and cost effectively enable telework, three things are necessary: 1, highly secure environment that will virtually eliminate the potential for data breaches. 2, A user experience that will emulate what IT provides when the employee is in the office. 3, A very simple deployment that will allow the user to employ virtually any desktop or laptop.

Miracle baby in charity swim
19th June 2012
Two-year old swimmer and heart patient Rosanna Ogden, who was able to swim before she could walk, is set to take on another challenge in aid of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) this weekend.
The face of the BHF's Little Hearts Campaign, Rosanna was born with an extremely rare and serious heart tumour and within the first couple of weeks of her life she required an operation lasting several hours.
The BHF urgently needs vital funds to continue its ground-breaking research into every form of heart disease affecting men, women, babies and children.
Thanks to the skills of heart surgeons she survived and her parents were encouraged to take her swimming to involve her in cardiovascular exercise.
Very soon she was swimming twice-a-day unaided, and she has become quite a little mermaid. She took up swimming with baby-swimming course specialists Water Babies at the age of 10 weeks old and quickly improved so much that she could swim before she could walk.
She entered her first public swim in March this year to raise funds for the BHF. She swam 100 metres unaided - quite a feat at her age, aside from her difficult start in life.
The Ogden family, from Chorley, Lancashire, travelled down to Camberley especially for Rosanna's swimming debut. Now they are preparing to take Farnham by storm when she swims at the local BHF fundraising branch annual event at Farnham Sports Centre on Saturday 23 June.
James Hardwick, the local swim organiser, said: "The Farnham swim is an annual event with many regulars returning year after year. We are delighted to welcome Rosanna and her family as well as the other new swimmers that are signed up for this year's swim. I hope that others will take the plunge and join in on 23 June."
Sanam Ogden said, "The BHF urgently needs vital funds to continue its ground-breaking research into every form of heart disease affecting men, women, babies and children.
"Heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer, so even if swimming's not your thing, please make a donation, however small, to help us change lives."
Rosanna has set a target sum of £2000 for her swims. You can donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/RosannaOgden or register for the swim by e-mailing email@example.com.

A proposed Sunoco pipeline project has prompted Seneca County Farm Bureau to host an informational meeting planned for 7 p.m. Thursday for residents and community leaders.
The meeting is to take place at the Youth Center on the Seneca County Fairgrounds and be led by Dale Arnold, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's director of energy, utility and local government policy,
"Dale brings a wealth of knowledge in the arena of energy development," said Darren Frank, organization director for Seneca, Wyandot, Hancock and Hardin Farm Bureaus. "Dale covers the state presenting the unbiased facts on energy development."
Arnold plans to review the process a company has to follow to have a project approved, as well as explain how to review lease agreements landowners are being presented by pipeline companies.
Some of the topics in his program include developments involving interstate, intrastate and local collection pipelines; energy market trends; pipeline construction and remediation standards; and the work of the Ohio Power Siting Board and other regulatory agencies governing pipeline development.
Also, Arnold is to provide information on eminent domain and farmland preservation, as well as what landowners should consider in negotiating effective easement agreements with pipeline developers involved in interstate, intrastate and local collection network projects.
Fact Box
If you go
What: pipeline construction
issues briefing, sponsored by Seneca County Farm Bureau.
When: 7 p.m. Thursday.
Where: Youth Center, Seneca County Fairgrounds, Tiffin.
"Long-term energy demand and new drilling technology have sparked interest in tapping into the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits in parts of the Appalachian plateau," Arnold said in a news release.
"Other energy service providers are revisiting many areas of western Ohio that saw oil and gas development in the twentieth century, too.
"While farmers and rural residents in some parts of the state are working with developers to access these resources, many farmers in this area will be working with other service companies to deliver some of these resources to refineries and markets," he said.
The proposed Sunoco Logistics pipeline would cross 22 miles through Seneca County from the eastern side of Tiffin through the Bloomville area in a southeasterly direction. Part of the line would follow an existing easement where a pipeline from the 1940s exists but is no longer used. Another part of it would bypass the existing easement and be rerouted through new area.
In the four-county area where a group of landowners have begun organizational meetings, there are 160 miles affected through Huron, Richland, Ashland and Wayne counties.
"Representatives from pipeline and energy development companies are contacting residents in the region and many folks have a number of questions and concerns," said Paul Snavely, president of the Seneca County Farm Bureau. "We understand that these representatives are requesting to work with landowners to conduct preliminary surveys and environmental evaluations across farm ground.
"The Seneca County Farm Bureau recommends that landowners contacted by pipeline and energy development companies schedule a time for the company to survey the property when the landowner can accompany them in the process," he said.
During the initial meeting, Snavely suggested landowners write down names and contact information, discuss the farm's specific soil and water conservation requirements and point out all farm resources and infrastructure that could be impacted during a construction project.
If landowners are asked to sign complex contracts or agreements, Snavely said they have a right to have legal counsel review them.
"Take your time. It is still early in the project development process," Arnold said. "Farmers are realizing that many aspects of a pipeline easement agreement are not boilerplate, but highly negotiable."
Arnold has been involved in energy- and utility-related issues since 1995, representing farm and rural residential energy consumers on work groups and public utility advisory boards. He has extensive experience working with local residents as well as government officials.
The meeting is the first scheduled by the local Farm Bureau's Public Policy Action Team, and plans are in place to sponsor additional briefings where residents can meet project developers and representatives of state regulatory agencies governing pipeline development.
The meeting is open to the public. For more information to reserve a seat, call the local Farm Bureau office at (419) 447-3091.

If you are a rock star from Buffalo, you are going to get talked about. So it is no surprise that there are a lot of stories flying around about Cory Wells, one of the three lead singers of Three Dog Night.
Is it true, Mr. Wells, that you sang in your church choir as a boy, and –
Wells laughs, indulgently.
"There are 10 people sitting on chairs, you tell the first person a story, by the time it gets out to last person, it's completely misconstrued," he says.
"When I was a kid growing up in Buffalo, I used to go to St. Ann's Church. They had a roller rink, a huge roller rink. My friend who lived on Paderewski Drive and Townsend, we used to go roller skate at St. Ann's every Friday and Saturday. Well, lots of times we didn't go on a Sat, 'cause there were too many little kids," he laughs. "But we went Friday and Sunday. And there was a Baptist church, a little storefront, and I used to stop by sometimes on Friday nights with my roller skates around my neck, sit down and just listen to the gospel music. Many times I never made it to the roller skating rink."
Such memories will make Wells, now 70, emotional on Friday, when he plays Kleinhans Music Hall with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
Chuck Negron, one of the three singers original to Three Dog Night, is not with the band. (He comes to the Bear's Den in Niagara Falls on Dec. 31.) But Wells and Danny Hutton, the third original singer, have re-created the group's famous sound. Joining them will be two other veteran bandmates, Michael Allsup and Jimmy Greenspoon.
The concert is part of "BPO Rocks!," a new series dreamed up by Louis Ciminelli, the BPO's new board president.
"When I was younger, Kleinhans was the venue you would come to for a rock concert," Ciminelli says. "The idea is to attract young audiences in an incremental way. People might go for a rock concert, and then think, 'I think I could start coming to the BPO, maybe for pops concerts to start, then for classical concerts.'"
A busboy at Sattler's
Wells' ties to Buffalo are deep. He has a cottage near Dunkirk, where his family spends the summer and part of the spring. Wells loves to fish and participates in charity fishing events there.
He is the first to admit that Western New York affected his career.
"I was the goodie two-shoes. They used to call me Father Wells," he laughs.
"I was focused, a Buffalo-grounded poor kid. I wasn't going to jeopardize everything I achieved over a stupid drug. I had this upbringing from my mom, my family – the hard work gets you where you need to go, these things'll jeopardize it. I don't drink, I never did. I drank when I was a kid – everyone experiences that. But it never felt right to me."
The sheer drama of his childhood is enough to bring a lump to your throat.
Wells was born to a single mother; his mother fell in love with a man she realized too late was married. "She had her wedding dress and everything," Wells says.
His mother gave her son her maiden name, Lewandowski. Wells had a nomadic childhood, moving around Buffalo's East Side. His family was close, though, and he always had music.
"I worked at Sattler's as a busboy," he recalls. "I ran into these African-American boys. We put together a singing group, a doo-wop group." They played at a Sattler's employees' party. "This was the only part of my life when I was scared to sing in front of someone."
The R&B sensibilities he picked up continued when, upon graduating from Burgard High School, he joined the Air Force.
Back in Buffalo, still very young, Wells came to the attention of a mover and shaker from California who saw his potential. He moved out West and found himself playing in Los Angeles' Whisky A Go-Go, with his band, the Enemys.
"It was very prestigious," he says. "That went on for about four years. In those days, you could make a living working at clubs."
One night, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton rented out the Whisky, as Wells puts it, and Sonny and Cher were there.
"We were playing away, and Cher leans up on the bandstand. I can't say what she said." Wells laughs uproariously. "She came back and said, 'Would you like to go on tour with us?' Of course we said yes."
It was on the tour that Wells met Hutton, his future bandmate. But the tour, he said, was tough.
"We rode on this rickety bus and [Sonny and Cher] flew. Every once in a while they would pop their heads on the bus and say, 'Hi, everyone! Are you all OK?' We did that for a month, maybe more. Then the tour was over, and I still saw her after that. I'm not going to go into that."
The scrounging years
The band's slot at the "Whisky" had been taken by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and Wells was in for more tough times. In the middle of those, he married his wife, Mary.
"I met her on the East Side. She was 14. She went to P.S. 44, a couple of grades behind me. I actually didn't like her when I met her. I thought she was a toughie, as most people from Buffalo were tough. She was raised on the West Side."
She came to California to marry him.
"I was about 19. She was there for the poor years, the hungry, scrounging years. She saw the unglamorous side of rock 'n' roll. It was amazing she married me. The sad part of it was, I was working in Las Vegas at the time, at Pussy Cat A Go Go. It was a 24/7 club. A group called Paul Revere and the Night Riders – not even Raiders – they worked from 6 till midnight. Our band worked midnight till 6 a.m. So we had one of those velvet Elvis marriages. Those little quickie marriage chapels. We got home that morning at 6, slept until 9, got three hours' sleep, went and got married at noon, and the honeymoon was until 11."
His voice is regretful.
"It's tough on the woman," he says.
Wells, the married man, appears to have been a stabilizing influence on Three Dog Night.
"The band got along pretty good," Wells says. "I'm amazed when I hear horror stories about the rock bands then."
They chose their songs democratically.
"There was no leader," Wells says proudly. "That mold of who was the leader, that goes back to the '30s. We broke that concept.
"When we got signed, the record company told us, 'We're signing the three singers. We're not signing the band.' The band was not considered part of Three Dog Night. But we made them Three Dog Night. We decided, whatever we make on the records, we're going to share with them."
Wells laughs that he didn't see the potential at first of "Joy to the World," one of their biggest hits. But he was the one who pushed Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," a funny song about a party that goes out of control.
"It was turned down by the other two singers," he said. "I found Randy Newman's album in Sears, Roebuck's bargain bin for 50 cents. I loved his sarcasm and style of music and offbeat approach. It became our second-largest record."
Were any concerts especially memorable? Wells answers immediately.
"One was in the Dallas Cotton Bowl. Rod Stewart with Small Faces opened for us. I walked out on the field, could not believe the amount of people, that 49,000 people came out to see Three Dog Night."
"The other one was, we played at Kleinhans at 1969, 1970," he says. "I sang 'A Change Is Gonna Come,' in the line, 'I was born by a river,' I sang, 'I was born by the Niagara River.' "
And coming home, he says, always feels good.
"I was just there [at the cottage] a week ago, to get everything shut down, closed up for the winter," he says. "We love coming out here. No place is more beautiful than Western New York."

HANOI, 7 March 2012 – Industrial energy efficiency is key to sustainable industrial development, especially in developing countries like Viet Nam, according to a flagship publication of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) launched today in Hanoi.
UNIDO's Industrial Development Report, entitled "Industrial energy efficiency for sustainable wealth creation: capturing environmental, economic and social dividends", urges investment in energy-efficient technologies in order to achieve sustainable growth.
The publication stresses that sustainable energy production is essential to overcome the major challenges the world faces today.
Presenting the report, UNIDO Managing Director, Wilfried Luetkenhorst said: "At the turn of the 19th century, there were only about one billion people living on our planet. Now there are 7 billion. A world of seven billion must learn to be sustainable to survive. UNIDO is doing its share to raise awareness and offer a roadmap for industrial development. This is why we believe industrial energy efficiency is so important. It can address challenges such as green growth, employment generation, security, climate change, food production and poverty reduction. Industrial energy efficiency is essential for strengthening economies, protecting ecosystems and achieving social benefits."
He added that energy consumption could grow even faster as developing and emerging countries reduce the income gap and grapple with growing populations demanding more manufactured products. This makes it imperative to remove barriers that currently impede energy efficiency investments.
Luetkenhorst said that the new report was UNIDO's main contribution to the Sustainable Energy for All initiative launched by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The initiative aims to achieve by 2030 three inter-linked global targets: universal access to modern energy services; the doubling of energy efficiency; and the doubling of the share of renewable energy in the world's energy supply.
The Industrial Development Report has a special focus on developing countries, backed by a set of unique statistics on Manufacturing Value Added (MVA), manufacturing export trends, and other key indicators. It also presents UNIDO's Competitive Industrial Performance (CPI) Index.
The Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Tran Tuan Anh, welcomed UNIDO's initiatives aimed at promoting industrial energy efficiency, especially in establishing an international coordination mechanism to promote energy efficiency technology transfer from developed countries to developing countries. He added that in order to establish an institutional framework and promote energy efficiency in all sectors of Viet Nam, the Government approved the Vietnam Energy Efficiency and Conservation Programme (VNEEP) for the period of 2006–2015 with the overall aim of securing 3-5 per cent of total national energy consumption in the period from 2006 to 2010 and 5-8 per cent from 2011 to 2015. The Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation was promulgated as the highest legal basis providing detailed guidance for the management and enforcement of energy efficiency and conservation, including industrial energy efficiency.
A panel discussion followed the official launch of the report. It was moderated by UNIDO Managing Director Luetkenhorst, and included the Ambassador of Switzerland to Viet Nam, Andrej Motyl; Director of the Science, Technology and Energy Efficiency Dept., General Directorate of Energy, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Phuong Hoang Kim; Deputy Director-General of the Institute of Energy, Nguyen Tuan Anh; the Chairman of the Viet Nam Steel Association, Pham Chi Cuong; the Director of Viet Nam Environmental Protection Fund, Nguyen Nam Phuong; and the Director-General of the Hanoi Rubber Joint Stock Company, Pham Hong Viet.

Cortiglia Tennis Bags
Do It Tennis carries the full line of the Cortiglia tennis bags: the most luxurious ladies tennis bag on the market. As one of the most expensive, the decision to purchase a Cortiglia tennis bag is a decision to invest in the very best.
Hand-crafted from Italian leather, Cortiglia tennis bags are for the woman who treats herself right and always looks like a million. Owner and designer, Jill LaCorte told Do It Tennis that she has strived to make her line perfect and has not had any bags returned since she began production in Italy.
Cortiglia Sonoma Tennis Bags
Featured in the July 2010 issue of Shape Magazine, the Sonoma designer tennis bags, made of Italian leather and athletic nylon, gives this classic bag an added flair of style that any woman would appreciate. Despite the bowling bag design of this Cortiglia bag, it is perfect for the tennis court with a large zipper pocket and a side port hole for the racquet handles. Although the size of the bag might be deceptive, the Sonoma can hold up to two racquets while the metal feet protect the material on the bottom. The main compartment with a zoom-zippered opening is capable of storing all of your tennis essentials and the small interior pockets are perfect for small items such as a cell phone, keys and more.
Cortiglia Marina Racquet Bag
As featured in Tennis Magazine and Daily Candy, the rectangular design of the Marina style of Cortiglia racquet bag is unmatched by any other tennis tote on the market. The Cortiglia signature tennis racquet key hole allows the main compartment to zip completely, securing and protecting your valuables inside. The interior divider separates your racquets from your shoes, towels or even laptop. Two interior tech pockets and one zipper pocket separates your ID, cell phone and keys from the rest of your tennis necessities. Two exterior dual magnetic latch-zipper pockets allow you to wear the bag either way, with your racquet handles behind, or in front. The large size of the Marina makes it great for business and travel.
The Belvedere Designer Tennis Tote Bag
The simple, yet elegant Belvedere tennis tote has made an appearance in O Magazine and has even been featured on Oprah`s famous "O List." This Cortiglia designer tennis bag is smaller than the Marina, but nothing is lost as in the way of style. The curved profile of this bag shines with class. There are four versions of this design, the Nero, the Rosso, the Argentino and the Blu Marino. Each is made from different fabrics and come in fabric specific colors. Belvedere has many of the same features as the Marina, from the signature racquet keyhole to the interior divider panel. The Belvedere has no exterior front or back pockets, which means there is no 'front' to the bag.
The Tahoe Tennis Messenger Bag
The one-of-a-kind Tahoe messenger bag holds up to three racquets and secures them with the Cortiglia signature tennis racquet keyhole. The large interior pocket is divided into two compartments. The exterior pocket is also divided into two separate compartments and is large enough for water bottles and ball can. Metal clasps and adjustable shoulder straps are just some of the fine details that make this Cortiglia tennis bag a love-at-first-sight hit with any tennis fashionista.
"Your tennis experience both on and off the court will be enhanced by our beautiful line of Italian-made tennis bags, giving you every advantage and all the love." – Jill LaCorte

When Zac Efron goes to see a movie about a wounded vet, he dresses the part – right down to the flesh-colored bandage he wore on his left hand for Tuesday night's London premiere of The Lucky One, in which he stars.
When asked what caused the injury that required him to choose antiseptic cotton as the accoutrement for a dashing three-piece suit, Efron, 24, smiled and fingered his famously enthusiastic followers.
"A fan bit me," he said, smiling, according to U.K. reports.
Calls to the actor's rep for further explanation about his injury weren't immediately returned.
Still, Efron's "war" wound didn't stop him from wrapping the injured digits around toothsome costar Taylor Schilling or posing with fans. After all, they seemed more than happy to get a second of his time – rather than a bite of his hand.

An Amherst man was arrested earlier this week on reckless and drugged driving charges after he sideswiped a truck on Niagara Falls Boulevard – but what was most disturbing to Niagara County sheriff's deputies was what they later discovered on his smashed cellphone.
It was a text message that read: "I'm stressin' bad and I want a few to calm me down before I pull the AR out."
Edward J. Reppenhagen owns two assault rifles – ARs, deputies reported, although he wasn't carrying them when he was taken into custody Monday afternoon.
Reppenhagen, 26, of Tonawanda Creek Road, was stopped by deputies just before 2 p.m. in the 2300 block of Niagara Falls Boulevard in Wheatfield. He was observed driving on the wrong side of the road and had sideswiped a tractor-trailer before he was stopped, deputies said.
He appeared confused and slow, deputies reported, and was found carrying a jar of urine, which he said he kept for drug testing because he didn't want anyone to know he takes medications for depression and to help in his recovery from heroin addiction.
Deputies said they also found a smashed cellphone and that Reppenhagen was evasive about whether he had been texting while driving.
Reppenhagen was taken to Mount St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston for a blood test and, while being treated, talked about "feeding a bearded dragon," deputies reported. It was not clear Wednesday what he meant by that.
Due to the text message and medical issues, deputies contacted Reppenhagen's girlfriend, who agreed to surrender Reppenhagen's firearms. They were secured at the Sheriff's Office.
It was unclear Wednesday exactly what kind of firearms Reppenhagen had, whether he owned them legally and how he got them.
Deputies did not say what kind of drugs Reppenhagen allegedly had taken before his arrest.
He was charged with failure to keep right, moving from a lane unsafely, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, operating while impaired by drugs and refusing to take a breath test.
Reppenhagen was arraigned in Wheatfield Town Court and ordered held in lieu of $250 bail.

Office-Friendly Bike Clothing: Don't Sweat the Commute
Dress up for your bicycle commute with this water-resistant, stretchy and stylish clothing
WHO SAYS YOU can't wear a suit on a bike? Especially a suit made from wind- and water-resistant fabric with reflective pant cuffs.
As the weather gets cooler, riding a bike to the office in work clothing is more feasible than it was in the sweltering summer heat. Velocipedists who'd rather not shower or change after hopping off their bikes have a closetful of "cycling formal wear" options—clothing that looks office-friendly, yet is comfortable to ride in: not too tight, vented to minimize sweating, and rain- and wind-resistant. Most important, the fabrics are stretchy enough to allow a full-range of movement, but aren't so shiny that they look cheesy.
The Off Duty Fall 50
From the best PB&J to no-sweat bike clothing, here are fifty ways to make your season more stylish
Creating a textile with all of these properties often requires working with mills to modify wind-resistant and moisture-wicking materials traditionally used for outdoor clothing. The trick is giving these textiles a weave that's thick enough to make them look like "normal" clothes and to mask the fact that they're essentially polyester. According to Jason Van Horn, who designed Betabrand's "Bike To Work" collection, developing the fabric for that line took about a year. The brand recently introduced button-down shirts made from a polyester-blend fabric that it hopes won't look like "those shirts people wore in the 1970s," said Mr. Van Horn.
Unlike a lot of bike garb, Giro's Wind Shirt ($190, giro.com ), isn't made from polyester coated with water-resistant sprays. Instead, Giro uses a waxed cotton with a water-repellent coating embedded in its fibers—a process intended to prevent the repellency from getting washed out in the laundry. The shirt also has hidden zippered vents to make for cooler rides.
Bike clothing is often cut to minimize pinching and binding and ensure ample coverage when the wearer crouches over. Swrve's Lightweight WWR trousers ($125, swrve.us ), for example, have a diamond-shaped piece of fabric in the crotch area to allow legs to move more freely; the knees are slightly pre-bent into shape, like ski boots, so fabric doesn't bunch up there when the wearer pedals, according to Matt Rolletta, the designer and co-founder of the company.
Reflective materials are being adhered to belt loops, buttons and cuffs, among other places. An extreme manifestation of this trend: clothing woven with reflective threads. Vespertine, whose tagline is "Haute Réflecture," sells bow ties subtly woven with threads that shine under the beam of a headlight but not under standard indoor lights. Dashing Tweeds, in London, makes jackets using a fabric called Lumatwill, created at the University of Brighton, that weaves reflective filament into tweed wool yarn.
For cyclists who want to dress to the nines, the OG Blazer and New OGs Pant ($550 and $240, outlier.cc ) from Outlier can be paired to make a suit. Both are made from Schoeller Dryskin, a stretchy, water-resistant textile that dries quickly when wet. London tailor Timothy Everest and the cycling-apparel-maker Rapha once collaborated on a made-to-order, three-piece, bike-friendly suit; Rapha's off-the-rack Lapelled Jacket ($450, rapha.cc ) offers many of the same technical features. This sport coat has pleats in the back of the shoulder so the jacket doesn't constrain the wearer when he reaches forward, and its collar flips up to reveal a bright pink band around the neckline for improved visibility.
As with all things cycling, there's a dearth of stylish options for women (a representative from one bike-clothing manufacturer said women don't need special clothes; they already have skinny, stretchy jeans). But a few companies are focusing on female riders. Iva Jean's Reveal Skirt ($160, ivajean.com ) has a high waist so it doesn't expose the lower back, and it has a zipper that expands the hem by 12 inches for a less constrained fit. Along with an array of reflective vests, Vespertine makes a Red Hook Riding Dress ($150, vespertinenyc.com ) that's just short enough to facilitate pedaling and has sleeves on the longer side to cover outstretched arms. Levi's doesn't offer women's products in its 511 Commuter Series yet—but Jonathan Kirby, the company's vice president of men's design, said it will soon.
Fall Basics: This Season's Essential Outfit and Ride
The Button-Down
Betabrand Bike to Work Shirt
This shirt looks like every other white button-down, but it's made from the same quick-dry polyester as a cycling jersey—sans the sheen. Reflective 3M Scotchlite trims the cuff (visible when you roll up the sleeves) as well as the neck line (just flip up the collar). To improve airflow, the shoulder area and chest pocket are lined with a discreet mesh material. $108, betabrand.com
The Trousers
Levi's 511 Slim Fit Commuter Pants
To create its 511 Commuter pants, Levi's tweaked the classic 511 jean with the biker in mind. This pair has a higher back for full coverage, even when a U-lock is strapped to the waistband, and the material is a mostly-cotton fabric that's blended with a stretch material and finished with a water-resistant treatment. The inside of the cuffs are lined with reflective stripes. $88, levi.com
The Helmet
Bern Allston Helmet
Head protection intended for racers can be a bit too flashy for the corporate parking lot, but this new model from Bern—the company's first designed specifically for bikers—has a more subtle look. The Allston has 16 vents on the sides, top and back that allow for more airflow than Bern's other models, it's lighter, too: an easy-to-carry 13 ounces. $90, bernunlimited.com
The Bike
Shinola Runwell
In early 20th-century France, the public enthusiastically followed the Critérium des Porteurs de Journau, or "newspaper-carrier races," in which the steadfast couriers of daily papers sped through the streets of Paris on the same utilitarian bikes they used for work—simple, sturdy and fast, with a large, rectangular front rack to which stacks of papers were affixed. Riding the Runwell, a "porteur"-style (the name has endured as a typology) city bike from the made-in-Detroit brand Shinola, offers that same heady mix of style and swiftness.
Designed by Sky Yaeger, an industry veteran responsible for Bianchi's seminal city bikes (among many others), the Runwell features double-butted True Temper CroMo tubing—the lightest, strongest steel tubes going. With its low-maintenance, internal rear hub and disc brakes and Shimano Alfine RapidFire Plus 11-speed shifters, the Runwell is a zippy, dependable ride. Other components, from DT Swiss spokes to Continental tires, are first rate, too. At nearly three grand, the Runwell is no garage-sale cruiser, but the price is fair for a handmade bike that puts such a modern twist on the fleet, pre-war Parisians models. $2,950, shinola.com

I was loading pictures on my DH FB for him and a message popped up from one of his chick friends from Mexico. I usually don't pay much attention to his messages since most are in spanish but I noticed quite a few smiley faces and tip off words that caught my attention. I suck at reading spanish since the mixed up words make my head hurt.
Maybe it is all the postpartum hormones but I'm not feeling secure. This chick is in Mexico so I know he isn't railing her but maybe trying to get an ego boast?
So any bilingual people that can translate for me? I need to stop trying to read the messages myself because like I said I suck at spanish so I may be translating wrong and getting myself worked up
Update: He is a cheating bastard. Can someone translate this for me to send to sancha.
"Daniel has been caught. Hopefully you are more sneaky with your husband. I am leaving him so he is all yours now"
Now, should I just message this to sancha or should I post it on her wall?

Children cannot learn when they are not in school, and two Community Care of West Virginia employees addressed the Randolph County Board of Education Monday with a possible solution to excessive absenteeism by students and staff members.
Brock Malcolm, chief operating officer of Community Care of West Virginia, and Patricia Collett, P.A.C., asked board members to consider allowing the group to add at least four school-based help clinics in Randolph County Schools.
"The basis of the clinics is taking the care to the kids," said Malcolm. "Rather than missing school, students can slip off during their gym class, be checked and go back to class. This service allows for sick visits and well child care visits. School staff can also visit the clinics, thus cutting down on staff absenteeism."

Malcolm said parents would give prior consent to any visits.
"Parents can come to the visit with their children," Malcolm said. "However, if parents had the time, they would likely take their child to the doctor themselves."
Collett said the clinics are able to provide preventive care that the children do not normally receive on a yearly basis, as well as sports physicals and immunization clinics.
Currently Community Care of West Virginia operates 16 school-based clinics in Upshur, Harrison, Pocahontas and Braxton counties. Statewide, there are 87 school-based clinics serving 106 schools.
"When students come in with an illness, we call their parents and let them know what is going on," Collett said. "If they need a prescription, it is sent to the pharmacy the parents choose and waiting for them to pick up. We also see teachers and help with bloodwork and yearly check-ups. With yearly visits for children, we can catch diabetes and asthma early, and offer training to students on how to use their medicines properly. Our goal is to start treating children in elementary schools and follow them through as they move up so they can be healthy adults."
Malcolm told board members they would only have to provide space for the clinic.
"We provide the personnel and equipment," Malcolm said. "And being a federally qualified health care center, we qualify for guaranteed liability coverage that would relieve the county from any liability."
Also during Monday's meeting, Randolph County resident Phil Hudok addressed board members about a formulating a plan for school safety in the event of a shooting.
"If there is a problem, the response time to Pickens School is 35 to 40 minutes," Hudok said. "I am going to petition to arm and train (school) staff under the sheriff's department's direction. I believe a concealed carry is the best plan."
Hudok said he spoke with Randolph County Interim Superintendent Terry George, who said the federal government has a plan for school security.
"The three options of Homeland Security is be prepared, call 911 and use scissors," Hudok said. "I agree with being prepared. Cell phones do not work at Pickens School and lots of times the land lines do not work either. I do not recommend arming yourself with blunt scissors. My plan would be with a .357 weapon. It would win over the scissors."
The next regular Randolph County Board of Education meeting is slated for 6 p.m. Feb. 18 at the central office.

Nursing facilities have sometimes requested their LTC pharmacy to repackage medications obtained from a community or mail-order pharmacy in conventional bottle and vial packaging. The facility hopes to obtain the special packaging they need while allowing the resident to obtain medications through their pharmacy benefit plan. Although the goal is understandable, this strategy is not necessarily a suitable answer to the problem.
In 1998, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists asked legal counsel to provide an opinion on the legality of a pharmacy repackaging medications dispensed by another pharmacy. In summary, the following problems are presented when a pharmacy is asked to repackage medications from another pharmacy:
For these reasons, pharmacies are generally advised not to repackage medications dispensed by another pharmacy unless certain provisions are in place to protect the integrity of the product and communicate lot and expiration information. However, some state mandate that long-term care pharmacies repackage medications under certain circumstances.

Examples of states that do not allow repackaging (not an exhaustive list):
ASCP Comment Letters to States Opposing Mandated Repackaging:
FDA Guidance on Repackaging Medications from Bulk Into Unit-Dose
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued draft guidance on expiration dating of unit-dose repackaged drugs. The guidance would revise FDA's enforcement policy regarding expiration dating of nonsterile, unit-dose repackaged drugs by using a standard similar to the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) standard that calls for the beyond use date to be one year from the date the drug is packaged into the unit-dose container or the expiration date on the manufacturer's container, whichever is earlier, unless stability data or the original manufacturer's product labeling indicates otherwise. Additionally, the repackaged drug must be in solid dosage form and comply with the Class A standard of USP; the original bulk container of drug product has not been opened previously and the contents are repackaged in one operation; and the repackaging and storage of the drug are done in a controlled environment consistent with instructions on the label. View the guidance here [11] (PDF).
USP Standards on Repackaging
These USP chapters contain information on beyond-use or expiration dating of repackaged medications, labeling, storage, reprocessing, and more.

TAMPA, Fla. — There are a lot of issues troubling Cory Conacher and the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning these days in the wake of Sunday's firing of coach Guy Boucher. But the former Canisius College star had fun for a few minutes Tuesday morning when he was asked about his alma mater's first-ever trip to the NCAA hockey tournament.
Canisius won the Atlantic Hockey championship last weekend in Rochester and will play top-seeded Quinnipiac on Saturday at 5:30 in Providence, R.I. Conacher tweeted his congratulations to the Ice Griffs over the weekend for an accomplishment that he didn't achieve in his four years on Main Street.
"It's going to be a lot of fun to watch them again," Conacher said. "I've watched Quinnipiac too this year ... and they have a chance at beating them as long as they stick to the game and the goalie is hot. The goalie [Tony Capobianco] has been hot all year. Hopefully he can continue to be hot and they can put a little run together like RIT."
(RIT, remember, made the most unlikely Frozen Four run in NCAA history in 2010 by qualifying for the semifinals in Detroit).
Conacher especially liked the fact Canisius drove past archrival Niagara in the semifinals.
"That was impressive," he said. "Niagara is a great team. They're in the tournament too because of the way they've played this year. It was awesome to see them beat the Purple. We always have a huge rivalry against Niagara right across the [Grand Island] bridge and it was nice to get that win there."
Tuesday's game was the second of three meetings with the Sabres for Conacher. He will make his NHL debut in Buffalo when the Lightning visits April 14.
Conacher entered Tuesday's game with nine goals and 23 points, tops in the NHL in points and assists (14) for rookies and second in goals. He said it was interesting to hear Lindy Ruff's name prominently mentioned for the Tampa head coaching job but he wasn't torn about whether Jon Cooper or Ruff got it.
That was especially so because Cooper was his coach last year at Norfolk of the AHL on a Calder Cup championship team and again this year at Syracuse before the lockout ended. Cooper will take over the Lightning at practice today and make his debut Friday against New Jersey.
"Both guys were coaches I'd probably have a lot of fun with and enjoy," Conacher said. "I'm more torn that Guy Boucher had to go because he's the guy who gave me such a good opportunity and had a lot of confidence with me.
"I had a good relationship with him but he'll find another job because of the things he did with this organization. I'm excited to see Jon Cooper. It's going to be really nice to see him. He deserves to be here."
While meeting with reporters Tuesday morning, Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman insisted Cooper was his choice all along and that there was nothing to the speculation on both sides of the border that Ruff was his top candidate.
Ruff has a relationship with Yzerman from the 2010 Olympic team in Vancouver. The school of thought was that Yzerman was loath to promote another AHL coach, as the Lightning did in bringing Boucher from Hamilton in 2010.
"To be perfectly honest with you, I called Lindy yesterday to let him know what I was doing," Yzerman said. "I had made my mind up when I decided to make the coaching change about what I was doing and that we were going with Jon Cooper.
"I just informed him. I thought it was important out of respect to Lindy that I'd made my decision previous to letting Guy go, that this was the direction I was going."
Yzerman did not answer questions about whether he talked to Ruff about the position and said the delay in hiring Cooper was based on logistics, with the Lightning in Winnipeg on Sunday and Cooper's Syracuse team needing to be properly staffed before he left.
Why not Ruff?
"There are other options that could have been the safer thing to do," Yzerman admitted in a clear reference to Ruff. "Had Jon not been in our organization and me not know him really well, I may have gone a different way. This is my decision. I have no doubt this is the way I want to go.
"The biggest reason why is he's been in our organization for three years and he's done a great job. I've watched him and thought, 'This guy is going to be an outstanding coach. We're going to make a change. I've got him right here and this is the guy I'm going to go with.' "
The Sabres made no lineup changes for Tuesday's game, scratching Drew Stafford and John Scott. Andrej Sekera missed his fifth straight game with an upper body injury but interim coach Ron Rolston said he could play Thursday at Florida.
In Rochester, defenseman Brayden McNabb suffered a lower-body injury in the first period Saturday night at Houston. The team has not updated his status other than to say it was day-to-day but McNabb was seen on crutches at practice Tuesday by the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.
The Amerks announced they have signed defenseman and Fredonia native Nick Bailen to an amateur tryout. Bailen led RPI this season in scoring with 31 points (12 goals, 19 assists) in 35 games. He was an All-ECAC pick the last two years. He played for the Indiana Ice of the USHL and attended high school in Indiana.

Oregon State Police on Thursday evening revealed more details on the events that took place Aug. 12 outside the St. Charles Medical Center-Bend emergency room in which they said a Bend police officer used a Taser and slapped a combative patient who died eight days later.
Here is the complete statement issued by the OSP and approved by the Deschutes County District Attorney's Office, which assisted in the investigation:
On August 12, 2012 at approximately 7:00 p.m., the Deschutes County 9-1-1 received numerous calls from employees within the Emergency Room (ER) at St. Charles Medical Center reporting a patient was out of control and physically assaulting the ER staff. The patient was later identified as Jerry J. Nichols, age 64, from Bend.
Nichols had been receiving medical treatment and was noted as having breathing issues at the ER just prior to and during the time he assaulted ER staff. Nichols then exited the ER.
At some time after Nichols exited the ER, he sat at a picnic table outside with a security officer.
Within minutes, Bend Police Officer Steve Craig arrived at the ER entrance in response to the 9-1-1 call.
Nichols left the table he was seated at, crossed into the parking area where Officer Craig was exiting his marked police vehicle and advanced toward the officer.
The officer initially attempted to verbally calm Nichols and asked him to sit back down to talk.
Based on video footage, it appears Nichols continued advancing toward the officer and he raises his fists.
Officer Craig retreated backwards but Nichols continued to advance toward him while punching at the officer.
At some point, Officer Craig deployed his Taser to stop Nichols, but the Taser was ineffective. Nichols continued to advance toward the officer.
The officer then used an open hand strike and struck the left side of Nichols' head with the palm of his hand to stop Nichols' attempted assault.
Nichols fell backward and downward, landing in a seated position on the ground.
Nichols then fought with Officer Craig and a medical staff member as they tried to place Nichols in custody to prevent further incidents.
Nichols was restrained shortly thereafter. At this time, Nichols stopped breathing and lifesaving procedures were administered by medical personnel.
Nichols was revived and admitted to St. Charles Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition for several days.
Nichols died at 4:34 p.m., on August 20, 2012 while at St. Charles Medical Center.
An autopsy was conducted on August 21, 2012 by the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office. The results of the autopsy are pending.
Officer Stephen Craig has 26 years of service as a police officer, of which 13 years of service have been with the City of Bend.
Oregon State Police jointly worked with Bend Police Department on the investigation. The Deschutes County District Attorney's Office assisted with the investigation. Any further questions should be directed to the Deschutes County District Attorney's Office.
(Bend police Lt. Paul Kansky referred questions to the DA's office, but did confirm to NewsChannel 21 that the officer involved has not been placed on paid administrative leave.)
Earlier story:
The family of a Bend man who was Tasered by police at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend and died nine days later is speaking out as they wait for more answers on what happened
Barbara Nichols told NewsChannel 21 Tuesday evening that her husband, Jerry, was a loving and caring man who would not hurt anyone.
"He wouldn't hurt a fly," said Nichols, "He did not want to have to fight with anybody, he was just not that kind of person."

Employment expert shares tips to help small businesses meet the new regulations
When the U.S. Labor Department's new overtime compliance law becomes effective, most likely later this year, it could have a profound effect on small businesses. "The burden that will be placed on small businesses' operations, and potentially profitability, are significant," says employment expert Rob Wilson, CEO of Employco. "While business owners shouldn't panic, they should understand what it will mean for their business and start to plan and implement changes now."
Under the Department's new rules, any salaried worker who earns less than $50,440 will be eligible for overtime. The new rule would also link the overtime threshold to the 40th percentile of earnings for full-time salaried workers.
"Many small businesses will need not only to change their compensation structure to become compliant with the new rule, but also may need to change the way they operate their business," says Wilson. "Customer service, productivity and employee moral could suffer, and profitability could be impacted."
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) estimates that about 40% of small businesses will be affected by the new rules. Wilson recommends that business owners take the following actions now, before the new rule kicks in. "Regardless of its final form," said Wilson. "The standard salary threshold will likely increase, and businesses need to be prepared."
Understand the new classifications. Business owners should fully understand their current compensation structure, classifications and the rules around exempt vs. nonexempt status, and what changes they need to make to ensure compliance. "Certain positions earning greater than the proposed threshold amount may be exempt from overtime pay if they perform certain duties as described in the regulation," states Wilson. "But small businesses are likely to have more employees that don't meet these requirements. The increase in payroll costs could have a significant impact on operating costs and profitability. Businesses owners might consider hiring more long-term, independent contractors, or part-time employees, in lieu of full-time staff as a way to manage costs."
Manage and Monitor Employee Hours. Business owners can reduce the proposed rule's financial implications by managing and monitoring employee hours to help make informed staffing decisions. Wilson suggests that employers implement a time and attendance management system to track hours, and consider different staffing scenarios and options when any employee is near the 40-hour mark.
Switch to Hourly Pay. Depending on the type of business, it might make sense to switch employees who typically work less than 40 hours a week from salaried to hourly pay, and pay them for overtime hours when, and if, overtime occurs. "This switch could cost less in the long-run," says Wilson. "However, business owners should also keep in mind how benefits packages might change and how employees will react."
"The most important thing for small business owners is to be proactive and to prepare for compliance once the final rule is released," says Wilson. "It's often more cost effective for a small business to comply than to try to work around it. Implementing sound HR solutions and processes is imperative to staying on top of changing employment regulations."

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has invited schools, churches and individuals across the state to participate in a bell ringing in honor of West Virginia's 150th birthday.
The statewide bell ringing will take place at 1:50 p.m. Thursday, coinciding with a bell ringing at the state Capitol during the Sesquicentennial Ceremony.
"This bell ringing provides our citizens with an opportunity to collectively celebrate and reflect on West Virginia's 150th birthday," Tomblin said. "Although we may be located in different regions of the state, this will join all of us together as we commemorate the state's birthday and officially kick off this historic celebration."
The Sesquicentennial Ceremony will take place on the south steps of the Capitol. The ceremony will include the dedication of a new United States Postal Service stamp commemorating West Virginia's 150th birthday.
U.S. Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin, Thomas J. Marshall of United States Postal Service and members of the West Virginia Sesquicentennial Commission will join the governor for this tribute to West Virginia. Immediately following the ceremony, the governor will cut the birthday cake in the Great Hall of the Culture Center.
Those interested in participating in the bell ringing are asked to begin ringing their bells at 1:50 p.m. Thursday. Bells should be rung 35 times to signify West Virginia's status as the nation's 35th state.
More information about state birthday celebrations is available at www.wv150.com.
