ALBANY – The new state budget will include stronger penalties for distracted driving and a requirement that all STAR property tax recipients reregister for the program as a way to crack down on fraud.
The budget, which is slowly coming together this week before full adoption on Thursday or Friday by the Assembly, is already angering several upstate business groups for its failure to lower utility taxes, a hike in the minimum wage and lack of serious relief from state-imposed mandates for localities.
"We are very disappointed with this budget agreement and with the people who negotiated it,'' said the Buffalo Niagara Partnership in a statement Monday. "The outcome of their closed-door work not only will further erode the economy of upstate New York, but will also significantly blunt the impact of a number of the agreed-upon priorities in Gov. [Andrew M.] Cuomo's high-profile economic initiatives, including our region's 'Buffalo Billion.' No rhetorical lipstick can gloss over this unfortunate reality. It also confirms to business decision-makers around the world that the state is not yet 'open for business.' "
A consortium of upstate business groups said the budget fails on a number of fronts. "Unfortunately, for upstate taxpayers and employers, the new New York looks a lot like the old New York,'' said Unshackle Upstate in a reference to Cuomo's public relations campaign of a "new New York.'' "This budget is a disappointment. The reality is that New Yorkers will remain overburdened and overtaxed.''
On a public radio show interview, Cuomo defended the budget for its tax breaks for middle-class families and funding for education. "I'm very proud of the product," he said.
The budget increases penalties for texting while driving or talking on a cellphone without a hands-free device. Besides three penalty points for each violation, the law will now impose a maximum penalty of $150 for the first infraction, $200 for a second offense within 18 months and $400 for three or more offenses within 18 months.
"Distracted drivers jeopardize the safety of everyone on the road. They are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash than a regular driver,'' said Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Fuschillo, a Long Island Republican.
The budget also includes a requirement that all New Yorkers who receive a break under the $3 billion STAR property tax program reregister. Officials say they are worried about fraud in the system, including property owners taking the tax break for more than one residential property.
The budget also will include a tax break for television shows that relocate to New York, a benefit the NBC network is likely to take if, as rumored, Jimmy Fallon takes over the Tonight Show next year and moves it to Manhattan. There are also additional tax breaks for movies shot in certain upstate counties, including Western New York; the tax credit program is capped at $5 million annually and the break does not kick in until 2015.
The final budget will include, according to the "revenue'' bill that was printed shortly before midnight Sunday, a provision allowing the state to suspend drivers' licenses of New Yorkers who are delinquent on more than $10,000 of state taxes.
Many tax breaks do not kick in for a year or more. A tax deduction for businesses that hire veterans does not become effective until the 2015 tax year. And a tax credit for certain families will not kick in – with checks in the mail – until mid-October 2014, or just a few weeks before Cuomo and lawmakers are up for re-election. The $350 check will go to taxpayers who have at least one dependent child under the age of 17 on the last day of the taxable year and had an adjusted gross income of between $40,000 and $300,000.
The budget also includes restoration of $3 million statewide for Operation SNUG, a program aimed at reducing gang and gun violence using neighborhood outreach and public awareness campaigns. The program has not been funded since 2009, said Sen. Tim Kennedy, a Buffalo Democrat.
"It is one of those programs with a statistical demonstration of working,'' Kennedy said.
How much school districts will be getting in state aid will not be known until later this week.

NorCal man dies from rabies
Man was traveling in Zurich, Switzerland
A Northern California man has died from rabies believed to be contracted from an encounter with a bat in Contra Costa County.
Health officials announced late Thursday that the 34-year-old man on July 31 while traveling in Zurich, Switzerland. His name hasn't been released.
The Contra Costa Times (bit.ly/QVEV6ACOPY) says an investigation shows the man apparently contracted rabies in the southern part of Contra Costa County in late March after coming into contact with a bat.
Health officials say it's the county's first rabies death in nearly 20 years.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta says it has identified 59 people who came into contact with the man. Twenty-three of them have been given post-exposure rabies shots.

HERSHEY - When he walked off the Giant Center floor Friday night, Bedford's Ryan Easter was out of breath as he walked with the media.
It was a mixture of excitement and aftermath of a seriouc cardio workout on the mat.
Easter scored eight third-period points in his 120-pound semifinal bout against South Side Beaver's Nathan Reckner at the PIAA Class AA Championships and advanced to this afternoon's state finals with a 9-2 win.
Easter became the first Bedford finalist since Eric Gibbons made it in 2001. The finals and bouts for third, fifth and seventh are scheduled for 2 p.m.
"It's awesome right now," a breathless Easter said. "I can't describe the feeling right now. It's amazing."
Easter is the only area finalist as Huntingdon's Collin Glorioso (106), Claysburg-Kimmel's Josh Brown (113) and Chestnut Ridge's Austin Buttry (285) lost in the semifinals.
Brown came the closest to joining Easter in the finals, rolling out to a 6-3 lead on South Fayette's Eric Carr, but losing in overtime, 10-8. Buttry dropped a 4-3 decision to Port Allegany's Nick Budd, and Glorioso was beaten by Bethlehem Catholic's Luke Karam, 11-0.
Eleven area wrestlers entered the tournament, and eight will place. Glorioso and Moshannon Valley's James Stodart (195) will wrestle for third, while Brown and Buttry will go for fifth. Ridge's Tyler Dibert (170), Mo Valley's Jake Ludwig (220) and Tussey Mountain's Mitchell Hall (285) will wrestle for seventh.
For Easter, it's third time he's placed in Hershey, but after a fifth-place medal as a freshman and a sixth-place medal last season, this one is much sweeter.
"This is what I've dreamed of ever since I was a little kid," Easter said. "Wrestling in front of everyone is going to be amazing. I'm going to go out and have some fun."
After a scoreless first period, Reckner actually drew first blood, scoring a takedown, but Easter escaped with 39 seconds left in the second and trailed, 2-1, entering the third. It was all Easter in the third period.
Easter escaped immediately, tying the score, and he went ahead, 4-2, when Reckner tried to throw him. One of the toughest riders in the state, Easter tilted Reckner for three nearfall points and scored two more back points right before the buzzer.
"I kept a high pace, [because] I knew he couldn't stay with me," Easter said. "I just kept my composure and said 'Hey, I can get back into this one point at a time.'"
When the buzzer sounded, Easter's customary smile was evident.
Today, Easter (36-2) will wrestle in the finals against Bethlehem Catholic's returning state champion Darian Cruz (44-1). He'll be looking to become only the third Bedford state champ and the first since Ron Hamilton in 1964.
"He's out there pretty much not to lose," Easter said of Cruz, "because I'm pretty much the underdog now. So, I'm just going to go out there and let it all hang out."
For Glorioso (38-5), the challenge was mentally recovering from the loss to Karam.
"I knew I had to get my head back," he said. "After that semifinal, I was down pretty far. I thought I would be going fifth and sixth, and thanks to my coaches, I got myself back up. Me and my coaches took a walk, and we started to think how I'd have to get back to my main game I've been wrestling throughout the last two tournaments.
He showed no signs of the against Southmoreland's Austin Griffiths - last year's third-placer. He scored four points in the first period with a takedown into a nearfall-scoring low-leg cradle. He rode Griffiths the entire second period and reversed with 16 seconds left in the bout.
Glorioso, who will wrestle Palisades' Jacob Wasser (39-7) for third, slapped coach Jon Mykut's hand after he left the mat and he was pumping his fist as he was leaving the floor.
"It feels really good," Glorioso said. "I never wrestled the kid before, and he placed last year at the PIAAs, and I knew it would be a tough match."
"He wrestled extremely well in that last match," Mykut said. "You have your goals set to get gold down here, and you get knocked off in the semis. He was able to clear his head out and put together a good match against a good kid."
Stodart (36-4) has come all the way back from losing his opening bout, winning four bouts over two days. He earned two decisions Friday to get to the consolation semis, where he earned a breathtaking 4-3 ultimate tiebreaker win over Kittanning's Zac Croyle, who he lost to at the Southwest Regional.
"It came down to the last second. That's about as close as it gets," Stodart said.
"James went out and wrestled tough," Mo Valley coach Justin Fye said. "He went out and wrestled two good matches here, and that was a great win. It was kid who just beat him last week, but he stayed in good position and looked to score a couple times."
Stodart escaped with a second left in the ultimate tiebreaker to reach the third-place finals, where he'll face Trinity semifinalist Adam Geiger (31-3).
"I know I took the long road losing my first match at the beginning," Stodart said, "but hey, you get there regardless of how you do it."
"That's hard to do," Fye said, "because you've got stay focused for three or matches in a row to accomplish that. He did an excellent job of staying positive, and going out wrestling, and he did a great job."
Buttry's only win of the day was a big one - over Hall, who was 3-0 against the Ridge junior this year - in the quarterfinals. Down 4-2, Buttry escaped with 10 seconds left and took Hall with about 2 seconds left and scored two nearfall points at the buzzer.
"It was a great finish by a young man who is working hard until the end," Ridge coach Greg Lazor said. "He's had a good tournament, got to the semis wrestling real tough, lost a close one. It's hard to get back and battle back."

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Guidelines
In the United States, children are generally not screened for celiac disease. In countries where celiac disease is more common, children are routinely screened for the disease. For example, in Italy, children are screened for celiac disease by age six. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research recommends the following:
Screening for celiac disease involves testing for the antibodies to gluten. This is done by testing a blood sample for three specific antibodies: antigliadin, anti-endomysium, and antireticulin.
There is a test available that may eventually become the test used to screen large populations. It is a blood test that detects an antigen called tissue transglutaminase (tTG).

The 7 Types of Halloween Costume and What They Say About You
This year, Halloween falls on a Wednesday, because that's the greatest trick the devil ever pulled -- scheduling the big annual Ghost Apocalypse Orgy on a work night. So hopefully you've already gone to your costume party, or you've made sure you don't have anything important to do on Thursday, or else you're a semi-professional buzzkill and don't celebrate Halloween. If you do have plans for tonight, do me a favor and take a look around while you're out. There's really only a few categories of costume out there, and which one they fall into can say a lot about the people wearing them. Important things like: Are they going to talk to you about retirement funds, or try to stab you in the butt? Should you try to bone them? If so, why, and more importantly, how? Are they undercover cops? Are they one of those "cool" undercover cops that are down with boning potential suspects?
As you can see, it's a terrifying, arousing and most of all confusing time. So before you go hit on that Sexy Naruto or whatever, maybe consult this handy list first and see if it's worth the trouble.
#7. The Generics
Werewolf, princess, ninja -- these are the kinds of generic costumes you buy in the "costume" section of the grocery store, because you're either a stupid kid who doesn't know better, you're an adult who's not all that into Halloween, or you're just broke as shit and too lazy to make something interesting, so you're hoping that you can slip a Frankenstein or two onto the food stamp card.
If you're a kid, this costume choice is totally fine: Literally any night that you get to wear unorthodox clothes outdoors is basically going to be the best time of your life, so you go on with your bad self. You proudly holler at everybody that "you're a vampire" like it's gonna blow their little minds, get as much candy as your wispy frame can bear and try not to get your weird little kid germs on my doorknob.
Just leave the bowl outside; they're like little petri dishes with adorable speech disorders.
If you're an adult, but you're just answering the door for the trick-or-treaters, this is also an acceptable course of action. Because seriously, who gives a shit? The kids see you as a malfunctioning vending machine, spitting out candy bars into the empty night. They are not going to care what you're dressed as, or if you're dressed up at all -- they only care if you're handing out Smarties, and brother: God help you if you're handing out Smarties.
If you spot the generic-costumed adults out at a party, however, stay away: I promise you that those are the most boring people in the building, and if you engage them, they will somehow manage to turn National Drugged-Up Fuck a Smurf Night into a mind-numbing discussion on the merits of credit unions.
#6. The Sexy Disguise
If anybody acknowledges the ridiculousness of the "sexy" versions of costumes that some girls wear on Halloween, it's us. But what we tend to conveniently ignore while pointing that out is that guys are just as, if not more, guilty of the same behavior. It's just that, unless you have a pair of those freak chest muscles that dance on command, dressing "sexy" for a dude isn't about showing off your body.
Are you at a Halloween party right now, browsing the site on your iPhone because the generic pirate next to you won't stop talking about community shareholders? Great. Glance up real quick. Check out the men around you: How many truly funny or goofy costumes are in that room? Now, how many are offbeat, but still generally handsome or desirable pop culture references? How many Jokers and Crows are milling about right now? How many Loopers do you count? There's like a million fucking Loopers, aren't there? And they all look kind of pissed off to see each other, don't they? That's because they thought they were the only ones to realize that Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks good with a suit and gun -- just like they thought "guy from Drive" was a unique snowflake last year.
Screen Invasion
"No, I'm not 'another fucking Looper,' I'm uh ... I'm not even in costume! Yeah, I'm robbing this place! GET ON THE FLOOR, BITCH."
If you are a Looper, don't take that the wrong way: You don't need to feel bad about it. Halloween night is all about mysterious liquids in clearly non-food-safe buckets and strange sex that you don't want to talk about the next day. Just find another Sexy Disguise Wearer -- Sexy Nurse, Sexy Replacement Ref, Sexy Metroid, it doesn't matter -- and move in on them. But know this: Sexy Disguise Wearers are all racist ... in that they will only mate with other Sexy Disguise Wearers.
DO NOT APPROACH the Sexy Metroid if you're dressed as "the most realistically gruesome zombie" or "spot-on Fat Albert." Sexy Metroid ain't lookin' for you -- she's going to end her night mackin' with Inigo Montoya and grinding on Aragorn, maybe cap it all off in a recursive three-way with some multigenerational Bruce Willises (Willii?).
#5. The Slapdash
The Slapdashes completely forgot about Halloween until they rolled into the office, opened up their online bank account in one tab and Cracked in the other, saw the title of this column and just now realized that they only have like six hours to think up a passable costume using only paper clips and Post-it notes, otherwise they're going to look like the one asshole who doesn't want to play along for their office Halloween party.
PROTIP: The answer was right in front of you all along! Just paper clip everything to your shirt and go as "your desk"! Take off your pants: Boom! Sexy Your Desk!
For every stunningly successful Sexy Desk, however, there will be at least one "normal guy with a paper sign taped to him that says his costume on it." The name tag will say something like "workday" or "Jim from The Office" or "ennui" -- they're trying desperately to be clever, but it never quite works out for them.
"I'm dressed as 'Quality Assurance,' when really I'm in Developme-hey, where are you going?"
I know that, at a Halloween party, your gut says to avoid this guy like the plague, but that's wrong. This is not a bad dude -- this is just a dude who is bad under pressure. He probably had a lot of work to get done that day, and while you were busy trying to hang half a sandwich from your tie with a crooked paper clip, he was filing reports. Be nice to the man, maybe flirt with him a little (if applicable, or if you're drunk enough that society's confining gender roles no longer apply). Because odds are, when you show up tomorrow so hung over that merely shifting your eyes causes the world to spin, he's the one who will be doing your job while you discreetly barf into a filing cabinet.
#4. The In-Joke
The in-joke is by far the the most popular type of costume. It's probably what you're going as this year: You're a shitty pun, or an abstract concept, or an intentionally obscure pop culture reference, because you're like 24, and you think you're just the fucking best. Making a good in-joke is your way of subtly signaling to other partygoers that you are a clever, thoughtful, worthwhile and totally Smurfable human being.
I know it's weird that I'm harping on this, but seriously, if you get the chance, you fuck that Smurf. You'll understand.
But this is a fallacy: Even the most perfectly executed in-joke will still only impress people with the exact same narrow, insular interests as you. Maybe your group of friends will appreciate the costume, but they're so goddamn jaded with you that they throw elaborate dress-up parties just to meet people who aren't you. And those new people probably won't share your hobbies: There's going to be, like, one fat dude on the patio who spends enough time on the Internet to get your "hip-thrusting guy from 'Gangnam Style'" costume, but everybody else is going to assume that you're just some kind of gay cowboy. That means you'll be spending most of your night explaining your costume to everybody you meet, and being disappointed when they do not understand or do not care.
Trust me on this one: I did this shit for like a decade. It's not worth the effort. You'll start the night as a period-correct Quint from Jaws, after spending months trolling thrift stores to find the perfect cable-knit sweater to complete the look, but by the end of the party you'll be telling Sexy Big Bird that you're "a hillbilly" just so you don't have to recite the Indianapolis speech for the hundredth time.

Ramirez's cartoon omitted key piece
A Jan. 1 editorial cartoon by Michael Ramirez seems to show all of society's ills that come together and morph into a figure with "evil" written on the back. Fortunately, Ramirez left a significant space where these roots of evil – pop culture, unearned fame, decaying morality and the like – come together. If we just print "access to powerful firearms" in that space, we'll get it right.
Judging from his constant attacks on the president and Democratic policies in general, I'm sure Ramirez would not want to anger the National Rifle Association and his supporters on the right. But, with this simple correction, perhaps we can fix the omission and show what his gut feelings really were.

While southern Ohio is known for its rich clay resources and colorful hand-painted works of pottery, the northeastern part of the state can stake its claim on the elegant art pottery of R. Guy Cowan. Created early in the 20th century just outside of Cleveland, the work of Cowan and a group of illustrious designers intrigues collectors with its timeless appeal. Many Ohioans in the know - and collectors around the country - have become experts on what's commonly known as Cowan Pottery, and are more than willing to share their knowledge and enthusiasm.
"You start collecting this stuff and you kind of go nuts," says Richard Olson, 62. He and his brother Jim own Treats restaurant in Rocky River, a charming little tea room housed in a building right around the corner from the old Cowan studio. Inside, patrons can find Cowan pottery displayed in cases and lining every wall. "People would come in here and say, 'Gee, I didn't know it was made in Rocky River.'"
The Olsons own hundreds of Cowan Pottery pieces, from functional lamps and tableware to rare limited-edition art sculptures.
Olson's interest in Cowan Pottery was piqued as a child growing up in Rocky River. "When I got older, I started collecting it at garage sales and what not," he says. "At that time you could still get it [at garage sales], but people are pretty wise now."
He points to one of his favorites, a pair of figures glazed in ivory. "Adam is offering the apple [to Eve], as opposed to the biblical tradition," Olson notes. Many Cowan pieces depict biblical and mythical figures or characters from literature. Olson gestures toward a beautiful ebony glazed head of a woman that looks almost tribal in style. "This is another limited edition by Cowan, called 'Antonia.' Legend has it she was an African princess who turned men into stone when she tired of them," he explains with a laugh.
The most popular Cowan pieces are highly recognizable for their sleek lines, unique glaze colors and art deco style. They're characteristic of the time period in which they were made, but also have elements of modern and classic design, giving them a broad appeal.
From 1912 until the Depression took hold and the company folded in 1931, R. Guy Cowan formed a foundation for ceramic art pottery in studios in the neighboring communities of Lakewood and Rocky River. American ceramic art would never be the same, as Cowan Pottery gained respect and recognition with the help of a group of close to two-dozen designers including such luminaries as Viktor Schreckengost, Waylande Gregory and Margaret Postgate.
More than 1,000 pieces will be on view when the Cowan Pottery Museum reopens in April. Housed in the Rocky River Public Library, which is undergoing construction, the collection features donations, loans and items purchased from private collections, many of them local.
Stacey and Robert Gerrity first discovered Cowan Pottery after moving to Rocky River about five years ago. On trips to the library with their young children, the Gerritys came across the Cowan Pottery Museum and decided to attend a lecture by curator Sue Brown. Soon, they were hooked. "I didn't feel guilty about buying Cowan pieces, because my husband was equally involved and just as interested," says Stacey.
The couple now proudly owns approximately 100 pieces. They started off with smaller, $20 bowls and have since moved on to lamps, intricate vases and figurines. Much of their collection is obtained at auctions, where they can bid over the phone.
"Just like other antiques, it's had its ups and downs in value," says Brown. As the museum's curator, she's hesitant to talk about the work's monetary value. Cowan Pottery is indeed all over the map in terms of what's available for collectors. She recommends that interested collectors refer to Cowan Pottery and the Cleveland School (Shiffer Publishing) by Mark Bassett and Victoria Naumann Peltz for information on all the Cowan Pottery artists. The book has more than 1,200 photos and a guide to the sculptures.
"On the bottom of the sculptures, and most pieces you come across, there's a mark - like V-99, that's Vase-99," says Brown. "That would scrub off, but you don't want to do that, because if you look up the number in this guide - which must have taken forever to develop - it tells you when the piece was introduced, the name of the piece, the name of the artist, the glaze color… This helps researchers and collectors find the piece and know more about it."
Opportunities are rife for a novice to start small and become acquainted with the variety of what's available. A bowl in signature "Egyptian Blue" glaze or an ivory-colored flower frog is an aesthetically beautiful conversation piece for curious collectors to buy when starting out.
The popular flower frogs - delicate figurines, usually depicting sprightly women - were meant to hold flowers as a centerpiece. Today, not many collectors will display them in such a way. This is just one example of the functional art pottery that Cowan created in the style of the time. Bridge prizes - nut bowls, ashtrays and match holders - served a purpose in the 1920s, but are now colorful and cherished reminders of another time.
Richard Olson's collection includes whimsical figures based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Apparently, the king and queen decanters came in handy around the time of Prohibition. "I think it's rather tongue-in-cheek," says Olson, "but the idea was to hide your hooch in the bookends in case you got raided by the Feds."
Among the long string of antiques shops that line Madison Avenue in Lakewood is Joseph Davis Antiques. Past the shelves of tea sets, furniture and jewelry, Davis sells a small variety of Cowan pieces: In the back of the store is a pale blue bowl for $20 and a $400 vase adorned with abstract squirrels, among other items. His own collection at home, however, numbers in the hundreds. His most prized sculpture is the "Beaten Dog" by Waylande Gregory; it's based on a stray dog that the artist tried to nurse back to health, and it's believed that there are only three in existence. (The Cleveland Museum of Art and Western Reserve Historical Society each have one.)
"Now is a good time for collectors," says Davis. "Four or five big collections came on the market over the past few years." He admits that he went through a period years ago when he had hundreds of bowls from Cowan's commercial lines. He's since scaled down to accommodate his favorite pieces - items with Egyptian Blue and Oriental Red glazes, figure sculptures and exotic vases.
One piece of Cowan Pottery that any collector would snatch up if money were no object is the famous "Jazz Bowl" by Viktor Schreckengost. Experts believe that there are about 50 bowls in existence with three different designs. In December of 2004, one of the bowls went for more than $250,000 at Sotheby's auction house. In 1984, Davis had the opportunity to buy one for $4,500 at an art show.
"It was either a punch bowl or a car," says Davis, now 40. "I was 17, so I chose the car."

Every city should be able to boast some type of loud, modern rock scene.
And by �modern rock,� I mean commercially viable, somewhat agro but listener-friendly metal. It may not be Slayer or Motorhead, but it�s angst for someone�s ears, and that�s OK.
Durango and its suburbs are certainly no hard-rock Mecca. But if you�ve paid attention, you know every so often metal shows go off at random Durango venues such as someone�s house party, the VFW or the Elks lodge � and, currently, at the casino. There are certainly enough people here to support it. They�re a vocal bunch not afraid to tell me that bluegrass and reggae isn�t their thing, following that up with strong opinions about �musicians� who play laptops.
Live music is nothing new for the Sky Ute Casino Resort, which has hosted shows for years. This weekend, the casino, along with Brad Dobbs and Fullhouse Productions, will dive headfirst into the loud rock scene, with the first of what could become an annual event,�Rockfest.�
I�m glad the Sky Ute is attempting to alter (even if it�s only once) the stereotypical �Casino Circuit.� The proliferation of Native American casinos nationwide has provided a new network of venues for long-running rock bands with no original members, Vince Neil solo shows and one-hit wonders who haven�t had a relevant record since 1978.
�Rockfest� is a six-band bill, headlined by guitar wiz Tommy Bolan (not to be mistaken with the late Tommy Bolin, from Zephyr, The James Gang and Deep Purple) and his band NYC. Think metal with all the theatrics of a Steve Vai-like stunt guitar player.
Scattered Hamlet is a southern rock band, a Kid-Rock-like band playing feel-good hard rock.
The Furnace is a five-piece from Phoenix. The band flips back and forth between hard rock ballads and driving, polished guitar tunes yearning to be an anthem.
1000 Rogues is a Durango four-piece whose debut, �Systematic Destruction,� came out late in 2011. 1000 Rogues has been constant participants in VFW shows with local rock and punk, and its presence on the large stage is a nice spot for a local band at a local show.
Signal 99 and Ethnic de Generation both represent a part of the country that is producing some of the best dark metal out there � the Rez. With apologies to New York and some scattered towns in Norway, the best metal being made these days is in the Southwest. Farmington�s Signal 99 were the winners of the �Best Music Video� and �Best Debut Artist� awards at the 2011 Native American Music Awards. Ethnic de Generation hails from Kayenta, Ariz.; the quartet has shared stages with a long list of bands on the loud-rock circuit and those lumped into the �stoner-rock-under-the-radar� list, for want of a better description.
I�m guessing the best sets of the night will come from the bands that traveled the fewest miles to play.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
Sunday Afternoon at the Opera Host Keith Brown writes:
The year has rolled around to its conclusion: now's a good time to reflect upon all that has transpired in 2012 by listening to something that takes in the whole world in a single monumental musical composition.
On this final Evening Classics of 2012, guest host David Schonfeld salutes some of the many great musicians and composers who passed away this year.
Among the composers whose works we will sample are: Elliott Carter, Hans Werner Henze, Richard Rodney Bennett, Ravi Shankar, Marvin Hamlisch, and Dave Brubeck.
This week on New World Notes: radio program #252, January 1, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst looks at crime on several levels: retail (the Newtown murders), wholesale (the entertainment industry), bigger wholesale (the financial system), and factory-direct (the Federal Government).
Join host David Schonfeld for the first Evening Classics of the New Year. Appropriately for Day 1 of 2013, David will play some of the many fine compositions published as Opus 1.
Host Keith Brown writes:
This week on New World Notes: radio program #253, January 8, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst presents a rousing talk by investigative journalist--and former Constitutional lawyer--Glenn Greenwald.

Host Keith Brown writes:
In past programming I offered a long series of operas of the French baroque, as recordings of them became available. The great innovator of French baroque opera was not a Frenchman by birth, but an Italian from Florence whose name originally was Giovanni Battista Lulli, francophied into Jean Baptiste Lully (1632-87).

Does the American flag get the respect it deserves from today's society/culture?
I don't know of anyone that got spit on. came back in 68 I went to Maryland.

"There's more respect now than in the 60's, 70's. Just like there's more respect for vets." This is very true if you travel you see more flags and more respect. In the 60's and 70's vets did not say they were vets.

The shame is that we don't see the flag honored as it should. It is a way of showing how much we love our Country. But, unfortunately, I fear it's the way our Country is headed!

I enjoy seeing those flags. What's better yet is that I don't think there's been any vandalism or theft of them. So there must be fairly decent respect for them. (Don't tell me if there's been problems--let me believe good about this.)

Ladybug there are a lot of flags around town. The rotary has placed a lot of them. For a $25 donation they will come out several times a year and put one in your yard. A lot of the people that have them though, unfortunately are the old generation. Questioner is right about the younger generation. They don't seem to have the same strong convictions of us older folks. They like their freedom but I am not sure they realize what it cost for them to have it. I am not say all young people but a good percentage of them don't seem to care like Americans once did. Perhaps it is just a sign of the times.

There's more respect now than in the 60's, 70's. Just like there's more respect for vets. But I agree that a lot of people don't get what it or the National Anthem, etc stand for. And a lot of recent and current college profs were brought up w/no respect for these things and taught that way, which means a lot of kid's teachers taught that way, which means it's only going to get worse.

TelCoa thanks U.S. Representatives Jim Himes, Rosa DeLauro, and Elizabeth Esty for introducing the Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act, H.R. 4085, 113th Congress.
We strongly support this crucial legislation. The bill would finally eliminate the telecommuter tax, a steep penalty often resulting in double taxation of income that interstate telecommuters earn at home. The telecommuter tax unfairly burdens telecommuters and their employers and limits telework adoption. Congress must make the Multi-State Worker Tax Fairness Act law!
TelCoa and other advocates are working to secure the bill's enactment, but we need your help!

4 Great Examples of Telework's Impact
by: Brie Weiler Reynolds
As champions of telecommuting and flexible work options for all, we certainly don't have to tell TelCoa readers about the benefits of telework--we all know and love them. But as organizations like ours work to spread awareness of, and support for, flexible ways of working, it's really important to remember the individuals for whom we work--the millions of professionals whose lives would be positively impacted by more access to telework and flexible jobs.
At 1 Million for Work Flexibility, we hear daily from supporters about why they support the expansion of flexible work options for all. Here are four great examples of why work flexibility, including telework, is vitally important to individuals, to companies, and to society.

I enjoyed this class. It was an excellent review of material that I use on a daily basis in the real estate world.
Neal Bevans is a great teacher, top shelf all the way. All questions are answered within a day and in the detail you need to understand Real Estate. Two of the ladies from work will be taking this course. It has been fun.
The instructor is obviously very knowledgeable. He approaches the subject of real estate armed with his knowledge but more importantly, with his great sense of humor and genuineness. He really helped to break down the course material in a way that is easy to digest. I now have a firmer grasp on the subject, and this course will no doubt assist me with future decisions that I need to make regarding my career and personal projects.
This course gave me what I needed in order to sell a house and buy a new one. I at least know the terminology and what to expect. Very thorough lessons to study, good feedback to discussions, and exam covered the material.

The Charleston County Aviation Authority on Thursday denied The Post and Courier's request for a copy of a letter that the agency's top staffer submitted when she decided to quit.
The newspaper had asked for a copy under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act
Authority attorney Arnold Goodstein said the document is "incidental to proposed contractual arrangements which have not yet been resolved."
The Freedom of Information Act allows public bodies to withhold information under certain circumstances, including "documents incidental to proposed contractual arrangements."
Outgoing airports director Sue Stevens did not have a contract with the Aviation Authority nor was she negotiating one when she resigned July 23, according to Andy Savage, board chairman. It was Savage who received the letter after meeting with Stevens that day.
Goodstein said the letter involves a settlement Stevens is seeking related to her departure. She called working conditions "intolerable" under the current make-up of the 13-member board and is considering legal action.
Goodstein would not elaborate on what amount Stevens is seeking, except to say it's "sizable." She is on paid leave through Sept. 30, and has retained an employment attorney.
S.C. Press Association attorney Jay Bender, who also represents The Post and Courier, said the Aviation Authority has a right to withhold the part of the letter that relates to a proposed settlement.
"If in fact it is a demand from the departing director for some form of settlement, it can be legitimately sheltered from disclosure until the agreement is reached or it is clear there cannot be an agreement," Bender said Thursday. "After that, it has to be disclosed."
He also said the Aviation Authority must release the remainder of the letter since it is not shielded under the sunshine law.
"They have to make the rest available," he said.
The Post and Courier has asked for a copy of the remainder of the letter.
Also, Savage said earlier this month that Stevens' letter mentioned a questionable campaign contribution made to a board member. Six of the Aviation Authority's 13 members are elected officials.
He declined to elaborate on the nature or recipient of the donation.
In a separate letter to board members on July 29, Stevens said, "I can no longer turn my head to what appear to be serious improprieties and unethical behavior" of some board members.
Savage has asked state agencies, including the Attorney General's office, to determine if the campaign contribution was improper. On Thursday, he said he had not received a report yet on those findings.

CHARLES TOWN - At Terry L. Marcus Stadium Friday night, the Martinsburg Bulldogs dictated the pace of the contest against the Washington Patriots.
A balanced offensive attack that totaled 427 yards and a fine defensive performance, led by Dildeep Dhatt's five first-half sacks, gave the Bulldogs the 63-15 victory.
"Our job is to get three-and-outs," Dhatt said of the defense. "When we get those, we can rely on the offense to get their job done."

Martinsburg's Cedric Brown, left, catches a touchdown pass in front of Washington's Michael Grant during the first quarter of their game Friday.
Following the Bulldogs' opening drive that was capped off with a 23-yard touchdown scamper by Tyshawn Smith, the Patriots' opening drive got stopped on fourth down at the Martinsburg 43-yard line.
The offense continued to work, driving on a pair of passes from Justin "Cookie" Clinton to Cedric Brown for 60 yards to give the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead.
"We were in rhythm," Cedric Brown said. "We tried to spread the ball out, and it was successful for us."
The beat went on for Martinsburg following a three-and-out on each side.
On the first play following a punt from Washington, Clinton found Malique Watkins on a 36-yard strike to give the Bulldogs a 21-0 lead.
Martinsburg scored three more touchdowns in the first half on a Gary Awkard run, a Smith recovery in the end zone on a blocked punt and a 16-yard run by Eric Brown, respectively, to give the Bulldogs a 42-0 lead going into halftime.
"Our kids came out the way we were supposed to," Martinsburg coach David Walker said. "I thought we played with fewer mistakes, so I was pleased."
The Bulldogs added two more touchdowns in the third quarter with a run by Decoley Jones and a second touchdown scamper by Eric Brown to take a 56-0 lead into the fourth quarter.
"Martinsburg is a tough team to play against. They have all kinds of speed and five or six guys on the field that can hurt you at any time," Washington coach Mark Hash said. "We could have laid down at any point in that game, but we didn't. We had about nine guys that didn't even come out of the game."
Two of those nine players were Colin Gustines and Michael Grant.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Gustines found Grant on a 30-yard pass play to give Washington its first points of the contest to make the score 56-8.
Martinsburg added another touchdown on a Malik Cobb run to increase the lead to 55 before Gustines took a 20-yard scamper in the end zone to cap a five-play 68-yard drive to make the score 63-15.

June 14, 1924 – March 9, 2013
For decades, Miriam W. Ehrenreich held six different positions at Millard Fillmore Hospital, all as a volunteer.
She worked as a patient advocate in the surgical waiting room for 23 years, served on the Millard Fillmore Foundation for nine years, enjoyed stints on the hospital's board of trustees and the Ethics Committee and served as president of the Women's Board. Most recently, she was a member of the Kaleida Foundation, as the Women's Board liaison for new projects and acquisitions.
Mrs. Ehrenreich – known to everyone as Mimi – enjoyed giving back to her community, before she died Saturday in an assisted-living facility near Philadelphia. She was 88.
A lifelong Buffalo resident, the former Miriam Warnick graduated from Fosdick-Masten High School, attended Millard Fillmore College and later took ethics and English literature classes at the University at Buffalo, developing a love for Dickens, Boswell, Blake and English romantic poetry.
As a volunteer in the Millard Fillmore emergency room, she helped pass along information about patients to their loved ones, a task that led her to become a dedicated advocate for patients' rights, with a passion for medical ethics.
Mrs. Ehrenreich, according to her family, was a foodie who loved dining, opera and old movies. She even was fascinated by texts and emails, although those electronic communications emerged a little too late in life for her to use them; still, she was a master communicator.
"She loved to talk to people – butchers, waiters, taxi drivers," said one of her sons, David. "By the time she got where she was going, she knew everything about the taxi driver's family."
Mrs. Ehrenreich was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Dr. Robert J. Ehrenreich, who died in 1998, and later by her companion, Gordon A. MacLeod.
Survivors include two sons, Richard and David B.; a daughter, Amy Haller; and her brother, Seymour Warnick.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday in Temple Beth Zion, 805 Delaware Ave.

On the other hand I see what you are saying. His chances are very poor at this point, and he would be very unlikely to even meet the expecatations the general U.S public would have of him, which could in fact could see many of them be shocked (not knowledgable skating fans who wouldnt even be that surprised at this) his not even making the U.S Olympic Team. Thus coming back would not be a good idea (which I concur on).

Vancouver? Don't you mean Sochi?
Yes I meant Sochi. For the record I always knew Evan was going to win in Vancouver, atleast 3 months out before the Games. It was his to lose and he was too tough a competitor to blow it. This time around it is about 12 other guys to lose before him.

The transcription factor BATF operates as an essential differentiation checkpoint in early effector CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells.
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Kurachi, M., Barnitz RA, Yosef N., Odorizzi PM, Diiorio MA, Lemieux ME, Yates K., Godec J., Klatt MG, Regev A., Wherry EJ, and Haining WN
|The transcription factor BATF is required for the differentiation of interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (TH17 cells) and follicular helper T cells (TFH cells). Here we identified a fundamental role for BATF in regulating the differentiation of effector of CD8(+) T cells. BATF-deficient CD8(+) T cells showed profound defects in effector population expansion and underwent proliferative and metabolic catastrophe early after encountering antigen. BATF, together with the transcription factors IRF4 and Jun proteins, bound to and promoted early expression of genes encoding lineage-specific transcription-factors (T-bet and Blimp-1) and cytokine receptors while paradoxically repressing genes encoding effector molecules (IFN-γ and granzyme B). Thus, BATF amplifies T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-dependent expression of transcription factors and augments the propagation of inflammatory signals but restrains the expression of genes encoding effector molecules. This checkpoint prevents irreversible commitment to an effector fate until a critical threshold of downstream transcriptional activity has been achieved.

How are things going in the Buffalo Public Schools?
It all depends on who you ask.
The superintendent says that while work remains to be done, the district is on a solid path to recovery.
Pamela C. Brown points to various data to support that contention: student attendance has improved, she says; short-term suspensions have decreased; Regents exam results have improved; and more high school seniors are applying to college.
"At this point, I feel a lot of progress has been made," she said.
The distinguished educator appointed by the state sees things differently.
Half the schools in the district are considered among the worst in New York, and the principals in those buildings still get little help from City Hall, Judy L. Elliott says. There's no plan yet for how to compensate for federal improvement grants once they run out. And the city's two-tiered school system remains in place.
"There's very little evidence that things have changed in the schools," Elliott said. "The principals will tell you: 'Rome is burning.' That's a quote they use all the time in meetings."
Their differing assessments of the district were laid out in a 19-page report filed with the state Education Department at the end of January and then expanded upon in interviews with The Buffalo News. The report – a joint effort between Brown and Elliott – was released publicly about a week ago.
Local and state officials alike are trying to downplay the significance of the report. It was the first quarterly update filed by Elliott with state Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. since he appointed her to help Buffalo figure out ways to improve student achievement.
Over the past two months, The Buffalo News requested a copy of Elliott's January report on about a half dozen occasions from the state Education Department. (Both Elliott and Brown had said only King could release it publicly.) Each time, a state Education Department spokesman responded either by saying he would check on its status or that the report had not yet been finalized and could not be released.
The reason the release of the report was delayed is unclear.
Brown, who has been superintendent since July, said the release of the report was stalled because this is the first time that any district has had a distinguished educator, so she and Elliott and were configuring the process as they put the report together.
Elliott and Bennett said that in a meeting in Albany about two weeks after the report was filed, Brown requested the chance to file a response to the report. Officials waited for her response, but she never filed it, they said.
"The superintendent wanted to give a response. That was our understanding," Bennett said. "But there was a misunderstanding. There was no response forthcoming."
The report was filed in the form of a chart, corresponding to the 39 "deliverables" that Elliott outlined in her initial action plan, which she filed with the state in October. In the update filed in January, Brown provided her account of the progress the district had made toward each item as of Jan. 30, and Elliott provided her comments on each one.
Among the items Brown highlighted as evidence that the district is moving forward:
• Short-term suspensions decreased 21.8 percent at the end of December 2012, compared with the same point in time a year earlier.
• Student attendance in the 28 "priority schools" – the latest state designation for the lowest-performing schools – had improved about 2 percentage points, to 90.8 percent.
• Principals now meet every month to discuss concerns, and the district has provided them with training sessions on a variety of topics, including how to use data to drive instruction and how to meet the state's new Common Core learning standards.
In an interview, Brown cited other signs of progress. Results from the January Regents exams show improved results districtwide in five of seven subjects, she said. More than 90 percent of graduating seniors have applied to at least one college, she said.
Among the concerns outlined by Elliott in the report:
• The attendance gains reported by the district may have been inflated as the result of a new attendance-tracking system, which automatically counts students as being in class unless the teacher marks them absent. If a teacher forgets to take attendance, all the students are marked as present.
• Principals are not required to attend the training that has been provided – and the district generally lacks a means of determining how effective the training sessions are.
• The district is about to lose several million dollars a year in federal grants for four of Buffalo's lowest-performing schools – but there is no clear plan in place on how to compensate for the loss of those funds.
Four schools are in their third and final year of federal school improvement grants. Buffalo received an average of $1.6 million per year, per school, to fund a variety of things, from teacher training to after-school tutoring programs at Martin Luther King Jr. Multicultural Institute, International School 45, Bennett High School and South Park High School.
• Huge disparities continue to exist between low-performing schools and other schools, such as City Honors and Hutchinson-Central Technical High School, that have admissions criteria – and the district does not seem to have a strategy for addressing those disparities.
Elliott and Brown agree on the need to restructure the central office – though in the January report, Elliott noted that no progress had been made toward doing that. Many of the same administrators have served in City Hall for a number of years, leading some to surmise that any substantive change in the district will have to involve replacing many of those administrators.
Brown said late last week that she plans on Wednesday to roll out her plans for reorganizing the central office.
Three foundations – the Oishei Foundation, the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, and Say Yes to Education – have collectively donated more than $550,000 toward a contract with a consulting firm to help the superintendent determine how to restructure central office.
"We have 34,000 kids in a system that is broken," said Blythe Merrill of the Oishei Foundation. "We need the right people in the right places to make sure those academic standings are improved."
Part of the contract with Cross and Joftus, the consulting firm, includes the services of an interim deputy superintendent.
Mary Guinn, a former superintendent of Gary, Ind., started in that role last Monday. She is not an employee of the district, Brown said, but an employee of Cross and Joftus. "She works with the district, but at this point in time is not an employee of the district," Brown said.
The superintendent said she selected Guinn on the recommendation of Cross and Joftus.
"She comes, certainly, with an extensive background, as a former superintendent and having served as deputy superintendent in two other districts," Brown said. "She's already a tremendous asset to the district."
In addition to helping with the restructuring of central office, Guinn will help identify a permanent deputy superintendent, Brown said. Guinn plans to work in Buffalo until the end of June.
Guinn served as superintendent in Gary for more than five years, until 2004, when the board voted not to renew her contract, citing declining test scores as a factor in the decision.
She then worked in Tulsa, Okla., where, after five years, she lost her post as deputy superintendent in a restructuring. Private donors covered the $188,000 cost of buying out her contract, according to news reports.
In September 2011, she was named head of Esperanza Charter School in New Orleans. She resigned after six months. An official with the charter school group she worked for was cited in a news story as saying that the school's board "had doubts about the school's goals under Guinn's stewardship."
Last week, Guinn was named as one of five finalists for the superintendent post in Monroe, La., a district about the size of West Seneca that she once worked in.

Breaking the Cycle
Georgia Program Aims to Break the Cycle of Recidivism
By Ron Honberg, J.D., National Director of Policy and Legal Affairs, NAMI
In the 2006 New Yorker article "Million Dollar Murray,1" Malcolm Gladwell describes how small numbers of individuals living with serious mental illness and substance abuse incur extremely high costs for communities. These costs frequently can be linked to hospitals, jails and emergency health and mental health services.
Gladwell effectively illustrates that the failure to spend public resources wisely often leads to higher costs. The individuals described are frequently arrested or hospitalized but receive few, if any, services in between these arrests or hospitalizations. Sadly, this scenario plays out in community after community across the country.
An innovative new program started by a partnership led by NAMI Georgia called Opening Doors to Recovery (ODR) is trying to show that there is a better way. Georgia has struggled for many years to provide effective services to its citizens living with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders.
The ODR program was established in Region 5 of Georgia, which includes Savannah and other communities in the southeastern part of the state. It is a private/ public funding partnership in the best sense of the term. The three major funders are Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, which provided $2 million in funding, CSX Railroad Corp. and the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD).
The goal of ODR is to provide intensive community supports to individuals living with serious mental illness in Southeast Georgia with "an established history of recurring homelessness, incarcerations or hospitalizations." Although the program is initially limited to 100 participants, the goal is to expand the program more broadly, perhaps even statewide, if the goal of reducing hospitalizations, incarceration and homelessness is achieved.
Georgia's mental health system has experienced significant problems in recent years both in the provision of inpatient and community-based services. The state operates under a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice in which it has committed to meeting certain numerical targets in implementing programs such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), supportive housing, crisis-stabilization programs, peer supports and supported employment.
Michael Compton, M.D., heads up a team of researchers evaluating the impact of ODR on the individuals being served. In a recent Psychiatric Services article, Dr. Compton explains that the ODR model was stimulated by two previously successful collaborations in the state: the statewide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program and Georgia's peer support specialist initiative (which has served as a model for many other states). The success of these two programs was very much predicated by collaboration between key stakeholders and systems involved in the provision of services to people living with serious mental illness.
Like CIT and the peer support specialist model, ODR is predicated on collaboration at local levels. In Region 5, a strong partnership has been established among individuals, family members, local providers, hospitals, law enforcement, emergency departments, clergy and others who touch the lives of people living with serious mental illness. These partnerships extend beyond the conceptual level—they translate into actual practice.
For example, after informed consent is provided, the names of ODR participants are placed in the state's computerized criminal justice database, and police officers who have contact with participants receive automated notices informing them of the individual's participation in the program and providing them with a number to call. ODR also includes a pilot project involving a comprehensive electronic recovery record, including health and mental health information, psychiatric advance directives, consent forms and other vital information.
On its face, ODR looks like a traditional intensive casemanagement model. However, a closer look reveals some unique features. For example, ODR utilizes a team approach to helping its clients navigate the network of mental health, health and social services. Teams of community navigators comprised of individuals in recovery (peers), family members and licensed mental health professionals receive extensive training to work cooperatively to provide services to each individual served by the program. Each of these three individuals brings different perspectives to the shared goals of recovery and reducing recidivism.
Unlike traditional mental health services, ODR has a comprehensive focus. Participants receive assistance in accessing treatment, finding stable housing, developing and improving relationships and achieving meaning and purpose in their lives. In accordance with this approach, participants receive help in accessing mental health and health care services, but also receive help with housing, employment, peer supports, accessing benefits and in addressing other important needs and desires. Grant support from CSX provides access to transportation, a particularly important component of recovery in rural regions. ODR has also established a partnership with the Georgia Department of Labor to facilitate increased employment opportunities for participants.
The data collection and evaluation component of ODR is still in its early stages, so it is too early to provide comprehensive information. However, there are already some illustrations of how the program is helping individual participants. Profiles compiled by the research team show positive short-term impacts, including adherence to treatment, maintaining sobriety and participating in meaningful daytime activities including employment and reductions in arrests, incarceration and hospitalizations. These benefits have not gone unnoticed. The ODR project was recently endorsed by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter (see page 12).
As states and communities continue to look for ways to achieve greater efficiencies in the provision of integrated, coordinated services for people living with serious mental illness and other chronic disabilities, the ODR program is a promising model that bears close observation. While the initial investment of resources in serving people with a pattern of chronic recidivism may be high, the eventual benefits in terms of saving money and saving lives cannot be overstated. People living with mental illness and substance abuse deserve a chance to achieve true recovery.

I feel so much better. The cake is already cooling and now the cupcakes are baking. It's quiet here (naptime for the birthday boy) and I feel alive. Not too tired. Just right.
Yesterday one of my favorite instructional Bible verses kept playing over and over in my mind. I felt overwhelmed with too much on my plate… Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths- Proverbs 3:5-6. I would say aloud, Lord, direct my path, like, a hundred times yesterday. When I was moving about the kitchen, lying down to rest, when my thoughts (my own understanding) were trying to take over, I'd say, Lord, please direct the next thing I do.
And I've continued to do this today. It's really helping me get things in order.
I finally went and picked up my finished little gnome. Remember him? He's cheered up my kitchen and watched over all the baking going on today. It's just right.

It's not every day that Republicans in Trumbull County get a win, but that's what happened last week at the Trumbull County Board of Elections.
Democrat board members Mark Alberini, chairman, and Ralph Infante, were over a barrel on a proposal regarding precinct reduction and needed Republican board members Kathi Creed and Ron Knight to negotiate or Democrats in all likelihood were looking at having a plan in place that they didn't not like at all.
The reason why their backs were against the wall is because the person who would determine whether more than one-quarter of the county's voting precincts would be eliminated for reasons of cost savings and improved elections was Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican.
Knight said after the meeting where the sides compromised on a plan that having Husted make the decision was a gamble, which is why he and Creed agreed to a plan that puts into place criteria to pare down the precincts; maybe not to the 152 Knight first proposed, but by what could be a very real number.
Not one Republican in either Trumbull or Mahoning counties filed Wednesday to run for a municipal seat in the May 7 primary election.
Even two Green Party candidates filed in Mahoning County.
Susie Beiersdorfer, a leader of the group opposed to hydraulic fracturing, the process of extracting natural gas and oil from beneath the ground, and Terrance P. Esarco, another member of Frack Free Ohio, have filed petitions to run for council president in Youngstown.
The president's race is one of only two open races in Youngstown; the other is for mayor, which is limiting to the GOP in Mahoning County, says its party chairman Mark Munroe.
Munroe said one person was interested in filing for a municipal race in Youngstown, but decided against it due to personal reasons.
The other reason why, and it's true in Trumbull County, too, is because of demographics: Republicans are at a severe disadvantage to Democrats.
In Mahoning County, there are 43,483 registered Democrats and 17,459 Republicans. In Trumbull, it's 47,739 for Democrats and 17,665 for the GOP.
Munroe said the party is actively recruiting candidates for Youngstown City Council races in two years.
''We do look forward to competition in Youngstown with Republican candidates, but it's a challenge considering the numbers and demographics,'' Munroe said.
Creed, chairwoman of the Trumbull County Republican Party, said it's an ''uphill battle'' for Republicans.
''The opportunity is there if somebody would like to run, we would support them in every way we could,'' Creed said.
Gary Engstrom, who lost his job as director of Trumbull County's Office of Elderly Affairs on Dec. 31 because of changes to public transportation in the county, has been hired by county Recorder Diana Marchese.
Engstrom started Jan. 14 as a deputy recorder. He's earning about $2,600 less a year than the roughly $34,600 he made as department head.
Actually, Engstrom's job, along with the jobs of all transportation employees in elderly affairs, were eliminated because some transportation services were shifted to the county transit board.
Of the 17 other workers whose positions were eliminated, six - four drivers and two clerical/dispatch workers - took jobs with Community Bus Services, the company that operates the Niles-Trumbull Transit System, which assumed the rides Engstrom's office was providing in the transition.

First, you score. Then, you win.
The Palmetto Christian Academy girls soccer team found the back of the net for the first time as a SCISA-sanctioned program this past Thursday against Stall – a 3A SCHSL team.
Caroline Rathman and Karris Ripple broke out the scoring in a big way, notching three goals – two by Rathman, one by Ripple – to help the Eagles win 3-2. Palmetto Christian led 3-0 at halftime and held on for the win.
The Eagles (1-8) travel to Porter Gaud, Monday night to try to extend the winning streak.
The Wando boys soccer team, the No. 1 ranked team in the state and country, remains undefeated this season at 15-0. The Warriors played region foe Stratford Tuesday night after the Moultrie News went to press.
Looking ahead, Wando has key games against Academic Magnet – Wednesday night on the road, and May 2 at home.
The Wando girls soccer team began a six-game road stand this past Tuesday – after press time – as the regular season nears its finale. The Warriors played Stratford Tuesday and will play Academic Magnet Wednesday, Charlotte Catholic Friday, Clover Saturday and Cane Bay Monday.
They won't get much rest, though, as Wando (8-1) hosts Cane Bay the following night.
Academic Magnet
The Academic Magnet boys soccer team, the top team in the 2A state ranks, has only one blemish on its record at 11-1, and the Raptors hope to keep it that way. But, they'll have to knock off top-ranked 4A Wando on Wednesday to continue its winning ways.
Academic Magnet defeated Bishop England, 3-2, this past Thursday to improve to 6-0 in region play. All four remaining games in the regular season are against teams with records above .500 – Wando (twice), Beaufort and Fort Dorchester.
The Academic Magnet (17-1, 7-0) girls soccer team, voted as the No. 1 2A program in the state, face Wando Wednesday night in a battle of one-loss teams.
Of their remaining four games in the regular season, the Raptors have three contests against 4A schools.
Bishop England
The Bishop England boys soccer team rebounded from a three-game losing streak to defeat Christ Church, 4-2, this past Saturday. The Battling Bishops (12-6-1, 4-1-0) are enduring a stretch of playing premier competition in the state, including Wando, Academic Magnet, Pinewood Prep and Porter Gaud.
Bishop England travels to Porter Gaud, Thursday, and then finishes its regular season campaign at Fort Dorchester the following night.
The Bishop England (9-5, 5-1) girls soccer team nearly knocked off the top 1A program in the state this past Saturday, losing to Christ Church 2-1. The Bishops entertained West Ashley Tuesday night after press time. They also host Cane Bay Wednesday night.
Bishop England
The Bishop England baseball team grabbed the top spot in the 2A state coaches association poll.
The Battling Bishops concluded their regular season with a 16-4 overall record and 5-1 mark in region play. They'll try for their sixth state championship since 2003.
Bishop England hosts Bamberg-Ehrhardt, Thursday at 6 p.m. in the first round of the state playoffs.
The Wando baseball team dropped its final two games of the regular season to enter the postseason at 11-12 overall. Most recently, the Warriors lost to rival Bishop England, 17-10, this past Thursday.
Wando travels to Beaufort, Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the first round of the 4A state playoffs.
The Wando softball team enters the state postseason as a team to be feared. At 22-3, the Warriors finished the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, which included six shutouts.
At press time, SCHSL brackets had not been released.
Bishop England
The Bishop England softball team's results during its final two games against Academic Magnet and Woodland this past week were not available at press time. In a previous game this season, the Bishops defeated Woodland 25-0. They had also beaten Academic Magnet 9-6. SCHSL pairings were not available.
