Seffner, Florida -- In Seffner Wednesday, the Armwood Hawks signed four players on National Signing Day.
This year's signees included safety Kyle Gibson, who will be playing for the UCF Knights in Orlando. Joining him in the Sunshine State is running back Craig Carrington, who will be playing for Stetson University in Deland.
Rounding out this year's class are teammates Hyriam Fredrick and Thomas Bartley, who will both be playing at Alabama State next year.
Watch the high school sports team preview the Armwood Hawks state championship game against Miami Central, and see a recap of Clearwater Central Catholic's state title game.
Seffner, Fl - Armwood high school junior lineback Jordan Griffin, junior quarterback Noah Johnson and Armwood head coach Sean Callahan talk about their upcoming state championship game against Miami Central.
Seffner, Florida - Armwood High School wide receiver Hunter Zilbar is the 10 News Sports Player of the Week.
Last Friday night in Armwood's thrilling 35-28 triple overtime victory over Bartram Trail, Zilbar made several key third down catches, as well as a diving touchdown grab at the pylon in the first overtime.
The Armwood senior isn't the Hawks biggest or fastest wide receiver, but when quarterback Noah Johnson is in trouble, Zilbar is definitely the go to guy.
Seffner, FL - The Armwood Hawks advance to the Class 6A state championship game next week in Orlando with a 35-28 triple overtime win against Bartram Trail.
And once again, it was defense that made the difference for the Hawks.
ordan Griffin got Armwood on the board early when he returned an interception 3-yards.
In overtime, it was the defense holding Bartram Trail on fourth down to preserve the 35-28 win.
Armwood (14-0) now plays Miami Central (13-1) on Saturday, December 14th at 1:07 pm at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
Here are the 10 News high school football plays of the week:
Play #2 - From the Port Charlotte-East Lake game... East Lake's Artavis Scott tracks down the punt... looks for some room... finds it left... breaks a few tackles... and Scott motors 68 yards on the punt return... - East Lake routs Port Charlotte.
Play #1 - Armwood QB Noah Johnson scrambles... throws it in the end zone where Hunter Zilbar makes a great one-handed catch for the TD... Armwood wallops Springstead.
Fort Pierce, FL-- Patrick Brooks scored both touchdowns, and the defense held Ft. Pierce Central to less than 200 yards of total offense, as Plant won an 8A Region Final, 17-7.
Colby Brown connected with Brooks for Plant's first touchdown, to tie the game at 7-7. Clarke Miller booted a 24-yard field goal to take the lead at 10-7 in the 2nd quarter.
Brooks then ran for an 11-yard score in the 4th quarter, to finish off the scoring.
Plant is now 11-1-1, and hosts top-ranked Apopka next Friday night, in an 8A state semifinal.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
The output of high-throughput genome sequencing technologies has been accelerating at an exponential rate and, consequently, the full-scope of human genetic variation is now within our reach. The technical bottleneck is now moving to "what does it all mean?" This crucial question is the challenge of functional genomics, an increasingly important field that will need both advances in human genetic manipulation techniques and large consortium-based research efforts to decipher how specific genetic variations predispose or accelerate human pathogenic disorders.
In pursuit of these aims, Horizon Discovery is commercializing (to biotech, pharma, and diagnostic companies) or providing in open access (to academic research organizations) a gene-editing platform called Genesis.
This technique is built on the Nobel Prize winning discovery that homologous recombination (HR) can be harnessed to perform precise genome alterations in mice. Genesis takes this technique many steps further to permit efficient gene editing in any pre-established and differentiated human cell line, which in contrast to mouse ES cells, have low rates of homologous recombination. This is achieved using recombinant adeno-associated (rAAV) vectors which, due to their ssDNA genome, activate HR without resorting to causing dsDNA breaks in the genome, typical of zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and meganucleases.
Moreover, because dsDNA breaks are preferentially repaired by error-prone non-homologous end-joining pathways, ZFNs are more appropriate for performing loss-of-function gene knockouts. In contrast, rAAV can readily perform both knockout and gain-of-function knockins, enabling the modeling of subtle SNPs or activating point-mutations that are more commonly the targets of drug discovery programs.
To date, Horizon has used Genesis primarily to generate a large and expanding panel of genetically defined X-Man (mutant and normal) disease models. These are matched pairs of cell lines, wherein one harbors a cancer-associated mutation in an endogenous gene, just as it occurs in real patients, and the other is an otherwise genetically identical cell line except that is carries a normal version of that gene.
These isogenic disease models provide a definitive means to understand disease biology and develop new targeted therapies to specific patient populations.
One of the most exciting applications of X-Man cell lines is to predict, prior to entering clinical trials, which patients will benefit most from a new targeted therapy. The benefits of tailoring the right drug to the right patients in clinical trials will inevitably lead to faster approvals, more ethical patient accrual, and less chance of drug effects being missed in larger unselected patient cohorts. Such information is essential in order for healthcare agencies to ensure that only patients with a rational and diagnosable predictive biomarker are a given a specific medication.
Colon cancer patients with K-Ras mutations were recently assessed in retrospective and prospective studies to be nonresponsive to EGFR-therapies Erbitux and Vectibix. As a result, testing of K-Ras mutational status is now mandatory prior to prescription of these agents. It should be noted, however, that there are several different mutational variants of K-Ras and currently a patient carrying any variant K-Ras is excluded from anti-EGFR therapy in both the EU and the U.S.
In an attempt to provide greater resolution to the influence of specific K-Ras mutational biomarkers, and in response to a small number of clinical anomalies to this resistance profile, Horizon's co-founder, Alberto Bardelli, set out to test two X-Man cell lines harboring the most predominant K-Ras mutations (G13D or G12V) for their response to Erbitux.

Looks like Debra Messing's Smash romance is getting serious!
The star of NBC's upcoming musical series (premiering Feb. 6, 10 p.m. ET) and her on-and-offscreen love interest, Will Chase, attended the N.Y.C. premiere for the show Thursday night, and hit a major relationship milestone in the process.
At an opulent dinner after the premiere, Chase, 41, met Messing's parents, sidling up to her father in a booth while the actress's mother sat on his other side.
A show insider confirmed to PEOPLE last month that the costars were dating – shortly after Messing, 43, confirmed that she and her husband of 10 years, Daniel Zelman, separated in 2011. (Chase also recently split from his wife.)
After the Cinema Society premiere, sponsored by Volvo, dinner was served steps from the striking Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Guests dined on towers of lobster, shrimp and lamb chops at low, dark banquettes, and after eating, the couple laughed and talked while sandwiched between Messing's parents.
"We all get along famously," Messing told PEOPLE of the close-knit cast. Asked if she was happy, the actress smiled broadly and provided a telling one-word answer: "Very."
The costars' off-screen relationship isn't exactly surprising, director Michael Mayer tells PEOPLE. On-set romances are common behind the scenes on Broadway, the subject of Smash, he says. "On Broadway, we call it a 'showmance,' " says Mayer. "That's where people meet and fall in love."
"I don't know where Debra and Will would have met [otherwise], says Mayer. "So [Smash] brought them together. And the context of their onscreen relationship, I'm sure that triggered a lot."

Boos and applause
April 13, 2013
-Applause to Cpl. Andrew S. Loudin of the West Virginia State Police for being honored twice in the last week....
Liberals will always say it's okay to make others pay their way. No one pays for our family members' funerals and our tax dollars are not to be used for personal individual use such as this. Liberals .... where does your ignorance stop?
Democrats should dig into their own pockets in congress and take up INDIVIDUAL donations for this. But we all know liberals give less to charitable organizations than any group. Dispicable. They sure are real charitable with OUR tax dollars though.

This is also a public safety issue as illustrated by Magistrate Riggleman's comment on the recent bomb threat at EHS about "which took protection away from everyone else in the county". While those out-of-town fire companies attended the funeral for hours, how much firefighting equipment and manpower remained back at the firehouse to protect the local citizens in the event of a fire. I saw the Ellamore fire company present and wondered if they had another truck or two back in Ellamore to assist their taxpaying citizens in the event of a fire. Would that not be a liability issue? This is fire season. And what about the fireman's parade during the forest festival? Same situation of who's minding the shop back at home while everyone's at the parade? Someone at the paper please look into this issue.Thanks

Politicians love giving OUR taxpayer money to those they select when it's not constitutional. I respect our troopers, officers in all branches; however it is NOT govt's call to give our money to their families after death either. That is 'discrimination' and is not constitutional at all. If politicians feel that charitable...they should be digging into their OWN pockets to contribute to these families just like private individuals do. Govt has NO right to make those judgments and use bias and discrimination. Why not give money to a single mom working at a factory job who dies while on the job? When does it stop? This is just not right. Would be nice if these clowns would read and UNDERSTAND the laws of our land. They're just too lazy to do that though.

It would be good information if someone at this newspaper would look into the public policy and laws governing the use of public funds for private funerals. No disrespect intended as it was a nice gesture, but Lee Arbogast did not die while in the line of duty fighting a fire, but in a construction accident. So why then were there countless fire companies present at this funeral using public funds at a time when the fire companies are complaining that they can't pay their bills? Could those firemen attending the funeral not drive their personal vehicles? Is this common practice to for all public employees? When a DOH employee gets killed on the job, do they bring out all of the trucks for his/her procession? Does a policeman who dies at home of natural causes get the same treatment? Thank you.

& SONS. By David Gilbert. Random House. 434 pages. $27.
Once upon a time, geniuses were granted Olympian license. Now, we're more interested in watching them sweeten or sour as they fall to earth.
David Gilbert's second novel, "& Sons," is drenched in failure. Marriages fail; fathers fail; friends fail. And, sad to say, literature doesn't compensate for real-life betrayals.
A.N. Dyer, Gilbert's hero, is a 79-year-old recluse whose greatest success came in his 20s with a now-classic boarding school novel, "Ampersand." In the present time of "& Sons," he's broken beyond repair, he thinks, and held hostage by his early fame. At first, it might seem that Gilbert has placed the Yeatsian dilemma, perfection of the life or of the work, front and center. But he casts off notions of perfection soon enough.
Dyer knows himself to be a fraud and an opportunist in his life and his work.
The novel convenes at a funeral, a fit opening for a book that takes its mood and technique from the past. In the 21st century, Gilbert has written one of those big books that hopes to click the shutter on our contemporary moment. But almost everyone in the novel is in retreat from the present, stuck in some moment of past hurt or failure. Dyer himself lost his way 50 years ago, when his greatest triumph, the publication of "Ampersand," coincided with his greatest dishonor, the betrayal of his friend Charlie Topping.
The opening funeral is Topping's. Dyer falls apart before he can give the eulogy, a scene of spectacular public frailty that sets in motion the central action of the novel. Dyer, as a result, "goes all mortal coil" and sends for his sons to reunite with him before he dies.
The title says a great deal about Dyer and his sons. They are defined by their connection — that ampersand — as the sons of greatness. The figure on the other side of the ampersand is in hiding. Dyer's delusions and narcissism have taken their toll on his children.
Richard, his oldest, kept a teenage journal that he showed his father, only to find huge chunks of it in one of the novels. He's a recovering drug addict who turns down his father's plentiful money and has never introduced his children to their grandfather.
Jamie, the second, is more practical with the Dyer money. He takes it to travel the world as a videographer and "superhero bystander" who films scenes of horror.
Andy, the baby whose unorthodox birth disrupted the family, is only 17 and the object of Dyer's obsessive love.
A further son surrogate is Philip Topping, child of Charlie, and the novel's narrator. Only pages into his story, Philip draws attention to his own trustworthiness: "Before charges of narrative fraud are flung in my direction, let me defend myself and tell you that A.N. Dyer often used my father in his fiction."
Philip is a wispy character who lurks on the fringes of the action. Not assertive enough to claim our interest on his own, he serves to add another layer of literary profiteering and to give "& Sons" a postmodern edge.
At the hands of Philip Topping, Dyer becomes the trickster tricked. From the start, it's clear that Topping makes free with the truth. Henry James would roll in his grave to see the liberties he takes with point of view. Dipping into Dyer's mind, describing scenes he couldn't have witnessed, installing himself as voyeur in other scenes: Philip Topping's stock in trade is narrative mayhem.
"& Sons" is a busy work. Gilbert has written many books in one: a big old-fashioned novel about fathers and sons; a lullaby to old-money New York; a satire of old-money New York; an anatomy of fame's deforming power; a slapstick of idols and idolaters; a meditation on time's elasticity; a metafictional study of art.
Within this entertaining mishmash are other books as well: Gilmore gives us huge chunks of "Ampersand" and snippets of other A.N. Dyer novels. J.D. Salinger comes to mind, but A.N. Dyer and David Gilbert don't need real-life counterparts to rope us in. "& Sons" is funny, heartfelt company.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — Dip a cracker in salsa and the taste is hilarious.
Alex Reymundo's family moved from Mexico to Fort Worth, Texas, when he was 2 years old. He said he thinks in Spanish but, when he speaks English, he has a Southern drawl. He married a Southern woman and they live in Kentucky.
"I married a hillbilly," Reymundo said. "I met my wife in Missouri, The Show Me State, and she did."
Reymundo, who performs Tuesday in the Crystal Bay Casino Crown Room and four times next week at Reno's Pioneer Underground, lived briefly in Hollywood where he caught his big break.
Paul Rodriguez attended his comedy act and afterward told him, "I like what you do. You're true to yourself."
Reymundo began to share shows with Rodriguez who later started the Latin Kings of Comedy, which featured several Latin comics such as Cheech Marin, George Lopez and Reymundo, who said he knew his career was validated when he shared an $800 bottle of tequila with the comics and their producers.
"Being with Cheech, Paul and George was like being with the Mexican Beatles," he said.
Reymundo also has a close working relationship with Ron White, a member of the Blue Collar Comedy crew. White is married to Reymundo's sister, a contemporary pop singer whose show business name is Margo Rey.
White's first comedy appearance was at an amateur night at the Arlington, Texas, Funnybone Comedy Club. Before going on stage, White bought a sip of courage (tequila). Reymundo was the bartender. After the show, the two got drunk together and they've been buddies ever since. Reymundo began doing standup eight months after White did, and the two "circled the country" performing together before each teamed up with their respective comedy teams.
"Paul Rodriguez did for us what Jeff Foxworthy did for the Blue Collar guys," said Reymundo, whose mother approved of White marrying Margo.
"He wrote this letter to my mother and the first page was about his friendship with me," Reymundo said. "She thought, 'Oh my God, Ron and Alex are gay.' She was so happy when he started talking about Margo."
Reymundo and White continue to perform together one week each month.
"It's just like old times but now there's nice (stuff) everywhere," Reymundo said.

, updated February 26, 2013 at 5:04 PM
It seems virtually indisputable that Josue Ortiz of Buffalo is serving time in prison for two murders of which he is innocent. Ortiz has entire police agencies making that case for him, but District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III is moving cautiously. That's probably appropriate, but caution must not beget unnecessary delay. If Ortiz is innocent, he must be released and exonerated – in that order – as soon as possible.
The case looked like a slam-dunk. Ortiz twice confessed to killing two brothers, Miguel and Nelson Camacho, who were gunned down in their Niagara Street home in November 2004. He pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and has served eight years of a 25-year sentence.
But Ortiz is reportedly being treated for schizophrenia in prison and authorities, including the Buffalo police, now believe his condition and pressure from police caused him to make a false confession. It's an odd phenomenon, but more common than most people realize.
Federal authorities are also weighing in. "We believe he had zero role in this offense," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Tripi said in federal court recently.
The case against Ortiz came under question last fall when a West Side gang leader and two others were charged in federal court with the Camacho murders. In addition, no physical evidence or witnesses link Ortiz to the murders. Indeed, a brother of the victims who saw suspects running from the scene of the homicides also knows Ortiz, Tripi said, and will say that Ortiz was not one of those people.
The matter is expected to come before Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico, who sentenced Ortiz in 2006. His ruling is likely to be influenced by Sedita's take on the case. Sedita, in turn, says he is waiting for information from Ortiz's lawyer, John Nuchereno.
If Ortiz is exonerated, he will be the third Buffalo convict cleared of charges in the past six years. Anthony Capozzi served almost 22 years in prison for rapes he did not commit. Lynn DeJac, now Lynn DeJac Peters, served almost 14 years, wrongfully convicted of murdering her own daughter, Crystallyn Girard.
Capozzi was convicted because victims misidentified him. DeJac was done in by a former family friend – himself in trouble with the law – who, out of the blue, told authorities that DeJac had confessed the crime to him.
False confession is harder to understand, but plays a role in about 25 percent of DNA-based exonerations, according to the Innocence Project. Twelve such exonerations have occurred in New York, including members of the "Central Park Five," teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of brutally attacking a jogger in New York City in 1989.
Suspects, sometimes mentally ill or addicted to drugs, and under severe pressure from police, may confess thinking it is their way out. Sometimes, police inadvertently feed them crime details that only the perpetrator would know. Recording interrogations would diminish the chances of this happening. Albany needs to act.

3 Guides That Do the Exact Opposite of What They Claim
#1. The Ministry of Clowning, 1983
When a normal person sees a book about clown ministers, their third reaction is a desperate need for explanation. Obviously, the first two reactions are pee. If you happen to actually be a clown minister, then you already know that your only reaction to anything is sharpening your knives. For the others, let's move on to the desperate need for an explanation. Here is the first paragraph of the book in its entirety: "The Ministry of Clowning is the direct result of the surging interest in Christian clowning." Wait, what?
It's an explanation that raises more questions than it answers. Where are these Christian clowns surging? Why? And what nation or God would allow it? Do their giant shoes foil missile targeting systems and lightning bolts? It doesn't count as bringing Jesus Christ to someone if all they do is scream his name while you chase them.
The book doesn't read like an instruction manual for clown ministers, or as I call them, the worst way to die. It's more like a distant anthropological study on them. It reads like a Martian military scientist compiled data on what they perceived to be an Earth PSYOP weapon. For example, someone enthusiastic about spreading Christ's joy through wacky antics probably wouldn't fill their book with dozens of pictures like this:
These photos didn't come from a chapter with seamstress patterns for costumes. The book just stopped to show pictures of empty clothes, like scarab beetles ate their owners or they were evidence photos in a court case. Fun fact: Eventually all pictures of clown clothes will be used for this purpose.
Is a photo of random wigs necessary or helpful? Is this to help make sure amateur clowns don't accidentally buy dog food at the wig store? The only reason to put this picture in your book is to show children what their remains will look like after you take their face off.
"Hi, children! With these binoculars I can see everything, always. And I use this 1,000-pound barbell to get strong because I'm in charge of this list of PEOPLE GOING TO HEAVEN. Oh, my! All your names are here. Would you kids like to know what time you get there? Listen closely, because it rhymes with now."
The pictures are obviously bizarre, but the text isn't much better. Even in the middle of clinical explanations on the basic types of clowns, The Ministry of Clowning will throw in vaguely terrifying sentences like "Many consider large, full-bodied puppets as actually being clowns." What kind of technicality is that to bring up in a person's very first five seconds of clown knowledge? To me that's a subtle warning that at least some of the clowns pictured in the book are puppets, moving of their own accord. That message seems a little off for an evangelist, since a shambling puppet is a surefire way to get nearby people to question God.
I wish there were a word for the moment when a large, full-bodied puppet is tying a noose and catches you taking a picture of it, because I hate knowing that this photographer's last word was 17 days of shrieking.
All these clowns brandishing ropes help support my point. And that is that if it's important for you to share your religion, maybe nightmares aren't the best avenue to take. Using a clown to share Jesus with someone is like using a bag of unexpected snakes to share Jesus with someone. Here, I'll let this clown explain it.

A sixth candidate has entered the hotly-contested race for Seneca Nation president.
Shaun Humphrey, 41, of Irving, said Monday that, if he is elected, he will put an end to the Seneca tradition of vote-buying. He also said he wants to force all independently-owned smokeshops to close down.
"I would like to close all the smokeshops and combine all the operations in one smokeshop business owned by the nation, to benefit all the Seneca people instead of just a few," Humphrey said.
Humphrey said he is a businessman, carpenter and bricklayer who formerly worked as a bodyguard for wealthy Seneca business people. He is running as an independent, and said he realizes he is very much an underdog.
According to the tribal government, he entered the race on Oct. 22 and is competing against Tribal Council Chairman Richard E. Nephew, businessman Aaron Pierce, former Erie County Sheriff's investigator Cochise RedEye, and two former presidents, Barry E. Snyder Sr. and Cyrus Schindler.
The election is Tuesday.
Vote-buying is technically prohibited by Seneca Nation election rules, but Humphrey and other candidates say the tradition has been carried out for decades. No Seneca president has ever enforced the rules against vote-buying, and no candidate has ever pushed strongly for an end to the practice.
"If vote-buying happens again this year, I'm going to ask our nation to enforce its own rules against it. I'd like to see if the nation will uphold its own laws," said Humphrey.

Though Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas say they are divorcing "in a loving and friendly manner," sources connected to the couple suggest the romance wasn't always picture perfect.
Griffith, 56, filed for divorce from Banderas, 53, on Friday after 18 years together. After their previous marriages fell apart, the actors met on the set of Too Much in 1995, continuing to support each other's film careers for decades and raising their daughter Stella, 17.
Still, the partnership wasn't without its problems.
"The split is not something new and out of the blue, they have had issues for years," a source close to Griffith tells PEOPLE. "The fights and separations got to be too much."
Banderas's globe-trotting career eventually took its toll, the source continues.
"He has always led an international life and during the times they were apart for business or film work, he began to live his own life away from her," the source says.
But another source friendly with both stars says they kept in close touch when they were apart. "They would talk on the phone four, five times a day," the source says. "They seemed to make it work."
And they always made the most of their reunions, spending downtime with their children in L.A. (Griffith is also mom to Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson, 24) and enjoying vacations at their home in Marbella, Spain.
"It's very sad," says the second source of the divorce news. "They had a solid relationship for so many years."
For much more on the couple's divorce, pick up the next issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

To our customers,
At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.
We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up.
There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you.
While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.
Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard.
Tim Cook
Apple's CEO
Interestingly, Cook admits defeat and tells customers to use Bing Maps, Google Maps, or even MapQuest in the interim until Apple can get its Maps application fixed.
WWSJD aka What Would Steve Jobs Do?
Source: Apple
quote: There was one year remaining on the contract. It would have to be renewed before iOS 7 was likely to be out. So if Apple kept Maps, they'd be forced to renew the contract next year - either continuing without navigation, or conceding to Google. Faced with that prospect, they decided it was preferable to drop Maps and roll with a clearly premature release of their in-house maps app.
quote: This is the problem with a closed app ecosystem. Instead of companies putting out the best product they can in order to woo as many users as they can, you have companies wrangling behind the scenes and deliberately withholding or blocking useful features that users want, all as negotiating leverage with other companies.

Sure, Ron Meegan is mad. You would be, too, if you breathed foul air for 30 years.
Meegan and others did not just get mad. They got busy. Better to be a battler than a victim – particularly when you start winning.
Meegan is an unlikely-looking warrior – 71, a retired parks worker with graying hair, an easy smile and a "Support Our Troops" patch on his jacket. In 1980, he and his wife bought a $40,000 house off Sheridan Drive, downwind from Tonawanda Coke. On summer days, the lake breeze blew black smoke from the plant across the neighborhood. Meegan's eyes itched, and his asthma kicked in – tight chest, trouble breathing.
"There was a smell in the air, like blacktop after it rains," Meegan told me Wednesday in a downtown office. "Some people thought, well, you just have to put up with it."
Meegan suspected that the problem went beyond a bad smell. His suspicions were confirmed in recent years, as Tonawanda Coke was cited for spewing carcinogenic benzene and other pollutants into the air.
"This is," Meegan said, "the Love Canal of polluted air."
Another brick was added to the toxic-confirmation wall this week. The state Department of Health confirmed high levels of certain cancers among people living in the heavy-industry corridor that includes Tonawanda Coke. Department of Health officials, however, declined to connect the dots between spikes in sickness and the stuff spewing from Tonawanda Coke's smokestacks, vents and valves.
"It was belittling to us, almost an insult," Meegan said of the hesitancy by state officials. "They just wanted to cover their butts."
Granted, it is tough to pin down the exact cause of someone's cancer. Everything from genetics to diet can play a part. Still, it is not a giant leap of faith to link the glut of sick folks in this industrial neighborhood to the carcinogens and other pollutants that spewed for decades from nearby plants. I chalk up the state's reluctance to connect the dots to typical bureaucratic inertia – and a fear of being yanked into ongoing court cases.
The day I spoke with Meegan, federal lawyers gave opening statements in the government's lawsuit against Tonawanda Coke. The company is accused of pumping pollutants into the air and water for years, then trying to cover its tracks. There also is a civil lawsuit against Tonawanda Coke, filed on behalf of numerous residents.
The lawsuits are the bittersweet revenge of the victims on an accused corporate polluter. In the last decade, Meegan and others banded to fight back. They held meetings, passed petitions, took air samples, formed the Clean Air Coalition and demanded help from politicians and long-somnolent government "watchdog" agencies.
The Department of Health report and federal court cases are fruits of their labors. Meegan and others fought back. This week brought small victories – and the prospect of larger ones to come.

Grants are a type of financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Generally, grants are for undergraduate students, and the grant amount is based on need, cost of attendance, and enrollment status. Students must meet eligibility requirements to qualify, and this type of aid can come from multiple sources, including federal and state government.
Students must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to continue receiving all forms of state and federal financial aid.
For more information about grants or other financial aid, contact us.
- Pell Grant
- Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
- National Guard
Pell Grant
A Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree.
How do I qualify?
To determine whether you're eligible, the U.S. Department of Education uses a standard formula, established by Congress, to evaluate the information you report when you apply using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The formula produces an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) contains this number in the upper right portion of the first page. This number will determine if you're eligible for a Pell Grant and for how much. The maximum EFC to receive a Pell Grant for the 2013 - 2014 (13/FA - 14/SU) award year is 5081.
The Pell Grant is limited by a Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) calculation. The Department of Education calculates percent of your yearly maximum eligibilty of the Pell Grant that you have used each year. You may use up to 6 years (or 600%) of the Pell
How much money can I get?
The maximum Pell Grant for the 2013 - 2014 award year (13/FA - 14/SU) is $5,645. How much you get will depend on the results of your FAFSA, whether you're a full-time or part-time student, and whether you attend school for a full academic year or less.
Students who enroll full-time are eligible for the full amount of the award, while students who enroll less than full time receive a pro-rated portion of the award. Most students will pro-rate as follows:
- Full Time (12 eligible credit hours or more) = Full (100%) amount of award on your award letter
- Three-Quarter Time (9 - 11 eligible credit hours) = 3/4 (75%) of amount on your award letter
- Half Time (6 - 8 eligible credit hours) = 1/2 (50%) of the amount on your award letter
- Less Than Half Time (1 - 5 eligible credit hours) = 1/4 (25%) of the amount on your award letter
Students whose EFCs are higher, may not receive any Pell Grant if they are enrolled in less than 12 eligible credit hours.
An eligible credit hour refers to credit hours that:
- you are currently enrolled in for that semester,
- pertains to the eligible program to which you are admitted, and
- are not considered a third attempt or repeat of a previously passed class.
When will I know the amount of my Federal Pell Grant?
Once your financial aid has been packaged, you will receive an email notification with instructions on how to access your award through MyCState. Changes to your award will also be posted on MyCState. Your award will show the amount of your Pell Grant at Full-Time enrollment status; enrollment at less than Full-Time will result in a pro-ration of that amount.
How will I be paid?
The college will credit the Pell Grant funds to your school account once per semester, depending on your eligibility a the time of disbursement.
Can I receive a Federal Pell Grant if I'm enrolled less than half time?
Possibly; it is based on your EFC. You won't receive as much as if you were enrolled full time. The U.S. Department of Education determines the amount of the award for less than full time (12 credit hour) enrollment, and funds are pro-rated based on attendance.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) program is a federally-funded grant program awarded to students with exceptional financial need. Determination is based on need and priority deadline. The priority deadline to have your file complete is February 15 of each year. SEOG awards may be adjusted for less than full-time enrollment. The student must be enrolled half time at the time of disbursement to receive the award.
Ohio National Guard
The Ohio National Guard (ONG) has a program for students who have served as a member of the National Guard for the state of Ohio. This grant pays 100% of the instructional and general fees (tuition, technology, and registration fee) for eligible participants.
To be eligible, students must:
- Ensure his/her name appears on the paper roster sent from the Adjutant General's Office
- Produce a letter from the Adjutant General's Office with Cincinnati State listed as the school stating their eligibility
Eligible students may receive funds if:
- He/she is registered for a minimum of six credit hours per term
- He/she is enrolled in an associate's degree program. This program will not pay for a certificate or diploma program (except nursing school)

Lycoming County United Way has literally thousands of supporters - individuals and businesses sharing their resources to help our neighbors in need right here in Lycoming County.
The folks at LCUW often say, 'every penny counts' and they mean it.
Their friends at Wegmans couldn't agree more.
"At Wegmans we strive to make a difference in our community," said Mike Ruby, store manager. "We're committed to improving the lives of our customers and employees in every way we can. Being part of community life and setting an example of leadership giving is central in our heritage and operating philosophy."
"United Way provides efficient funding for programs that make a difference and we are proud to work together," Ruby added. "For many years we've held an employee campaign to raise funds for United Way, and the last four years we've invited our customers to be part of the program as well. For a two-three week period, when shoppers are at check out, our associates ask them if they'd like to round up their total to the next whole dollar and the difference goes to United Way. Our shoppers are generous people, and when they each add a few cents to give to United Way, it really adds up."
Over the last three years, Wegmans shoppers have donated $12,210.81 to United Way through the check-out program. This year's 'Round-Up' program ends Saturday.
"As you come through the check-out line the next few days, our associates will ask you to add a few cents to your total up to the next whole dollar," Ruby said. "Each of us at Wegmans is proud to support our community and we're happy to have our shoppers join us in the effort because in this case, every penny really does count."
"To provide the help to the human service programs we serve truly takes a dedicated team effort," said Scott N. Lowery, LCUW executive director. "It has often been said that achieving something worthwhile is never easy and raising funds is certainly not easy! But each year our annual community campaign receives help from a variety of sources which includes businesses doing creative things at their workplace to raise some additional dollars."
"Putting a little fun into their fundraising is something Wegmans has been doing over the past few years to create awareness and get more people involved. They even had "celebrity baggers" come in and greet folks while bagging their groceries during the round-up program one year. It's all done in the spirit of fun."
"We are most grateful to have supporters like Wegmans and their shoppers," said Lowery. "We appreciate Wegmans taking the initiative to create this special project and the shoppers for sharing their change. We certainly understand not everyone has change to spare or money for groceries at all and that's why we do what we do."
Proceeds from the United Way campaign help support 38 vital human service programs county-wide. Last year these services were used more than 46,000 times by county residents that's about one in every three people in the county.

New York, New York, New Year (2010)Saturday, January 16th, 2010
I know. I KNOW. And I'm sorry.
It's been a number of weeks since I've posted anything here. Perhaps the longest time I've been away since I started this blog. The truth is I've taken on a project or two that's been taking up more of my free time over the couple months and I haven't been able to dedicate myself to the Radio Kitchen as much as I would like. And I really am sorry.
I'm not giving up this blog. At least not yet. But I'm not a good blogger in the traditional sense. I'm not so good at firing off quick and succinct entries, and my posts generally take some time. And there's usually audio involved and research and rumination and it's rarely a quick process for me. However, if there was actually some money in it, you can be sure I'd be packin' this thing with content almost every week.
But I was inspired the other night. New Year's Eve. And I didn't have a gig. I didn't have a party to go to either, and the girls here at the house were fast asleep. So instead of ducking into some local dive bar for some holiday misbehavior, I stayed home– like Jack Horner. In the corner. Just me and my radio. (And a recorder.)
And the result is this bandscan– an hour and twenty-minute crawl up the AM band recorded in my Brooklyn apartment as the year 2010 was sweeping over America. Right before midnight, I turned on my G5 and started crawling down from the top of the AM dial. A powerful Radio Disney outlet at 1560kHz is very close to my house, and that nearby fifty-thousand watt signal wrecks havoc at this end of the dial. So I opted to start this bandscan where their signal pollution yields to clarity– with a holiday greeting from the lovely and talented Alan Colmes on progressive talker WWRL.
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 1
And then, Radio Disney itself. Their transmitter (broadcasting at 1560kHz) is so close to me that I've heard their signal in on every possible band at some point, as well is in my home stereo and even on a pay phone down the street. On some of my radios, every frequency from 1530 to 1600kHz suffers from some form of Radio Disney intrusion.
Next up 1520, WWKB in Buffalo blasting in strong with a sleazy "get out of debt" commercial. Then a little "Auld Lang Syne" and a promo from "Federal News Radio" (WTOP 1500kHz in Washington D.C.). However, the magical odometer click itself is served Cantonese style at 1480kHz, WZRC. It's quite exciting. Probably more so if you happen to be Chinese.
While I don't know for sure, I suspect that this was probably a simulcast of the New Years festivities on the American Chinese-language TV network– SINO Television. While simulcasting obviously saves a lot of money, if you're a serious radio listener you can usually tell the difference. There's a lack of microphone intimacy, and the assumptions of visual cues make audio-only TV less interesting than real radio.
And then there's a couple more ethnic notches on the NY AM dial– some pumping macho reverb from WNSW at 1430kHz and some kooky jubilance care of WKDM at 1380kHz. Whooooh!
And so ends all the "live" sounds of celebration captured in this bandscan.
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 2
"Thank you for inviting me into your prison cells."
At first, I thought there was going to be a punch line. Or that there was something metaphoric going on I might have missed. But no, it was all real, just like prison. It's some regularly scheduled religious inspiration for the incarcerated (with your host– a real "retired correction captain"). Although I typically I hear religious stuff at 1330kHz (WWRV) all the time, it's usually a Spanish language scenario.
We pass by 1300kHz for a quick ID. I think it's the ESPN Radio station in New Haven. And how about this Spanish language drama at 1280kHz? Wow. Give that guy a hankie. Man. Then a brief interlude with Smokey Robinson & The Miracles on WMTR, at 1250kHz in Morristown, New Jersey.
From 1250 we slide down to 1210– the Big Talker WPHT in Philadelphia, where they were replaying a Michael Smerconish program. He's an odd bird, and the only right wing talk show host to support Obama in the last election. At least that's what I've read on the internets. I don't watch much of the talking head pundit shows on TV, but I gather he makes his appearances on a few of them too. And he has a shiny head.
Then on to some urban contemporary gospel from WLIB at 1190kHz. When Air America left the station to settle over at WWRL at 1600 they gave up a great signal for a pretty crappy one. That's followed by some messy and overlapping signals. And then this clown…

As if there wasn't already enough meanspirited blather emanating from this Clear Channel owned Fox News affiliate (WWVA at 1170 kHz in West Virginia), they also see fit to let this hateful son of a bitch run at the mouth on a transmitter that might reach a third of the U.S.
It seems that all the major religions (especially the powerful monotheistic ones that dominate our world) have a dark beating heart of intolerance and malevolence somewhere at their core that leads some twisted "believers" to spew forth the kind of filth that tumbles out of the mouth of this old geezer, rambling incoherently about "judgment" and "vengeance" and "punishments."
The particular brand of stupidity at play here is uniquely American and Protestant flavored, which seems to the most popular type of religious mental illness you hear on the radio. If you're interested in getting some good hate on for Obama (and all the Catholics and Muslims and almost everybody else), then you'll probably find something to celebrate in this fulmination. Happy new year!
I let that guy carry on way too long before shuffling down dial to Bloomberg's "business" station at 1130kHz. It's a panel of experts on the human brain. Wow. The trouble is (again) that we're obviously hearing some TV simulcast. And we're supposed to be looking at some incredible computer generated images of the computing machinery of the brain. You see anything?
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 4
Then, the bewitching baritone of Art Bell from WTAM, 1100kHz in Cleveland. Since he's retired (four times!) you don't hear him host his old "Coast to Coast" show much these days. But he does often show up a few times a year– especially for his annual "Ghost to Ghost" program (with call-in ghost stories) around Halloween and then for his annual prediction (for the next year) show. And being a bit of a legend these days and rarely on the air, you can hear some real affection and fan awe from the callers who are able to get through to talk to Bell.
I used to be entertained by Bell's late night sideshow many years ago. His love of everything radio has always been kind of inspiring to me. But I gotta say, he does sound uncharacteristically low-key in the samples in this bandscan. I guess he's been though plenty of changes over this last decade. But you do hear a lot of people calling in predictions that are pretty dire and cataclysmic. And that, is typical.
Then we slide down into the lap of snarling neocon Laura Ingraham, care of WBAL (at 1090 AM in Baltimore). Then it's 1050kHz here in the city, a frequency with a colorful history that's been the home for a number of call letters over the years. These days it's just WEPN— another syndicated ESPN yawner on the AM dial. Sad. And then 1010 WINS, one of the oldest all-news stations in the country (and they continue the teletype sound effects in the background to drive the point home). And here you get one of the joys of MW DXing for some, the local traffic and weather forecast. The crowds are dissipating in Times Square. And in the sky, a wintry mix. Meanwhile there's been a few fire fatalities over the holidays. And through some unexplained turn of events New York City "apparently" has found some extra money laying around. A surplus.
And in a broader sense, I suppose that's one of the things that make New York so appealing. Somehow, somewhere, there's some extra money laying round. In a place like Detroit, not so much.

Mike Gallagher (AKA "The Smellster") is one of the least evolved human beings I've come across in the national media. A man who does not seem to actually think, but just react to things (in a predictable and ham-handed partisan manner). And when he's not scripted well, his program can really go off the rails. Yet he kind of sounds like Rush (which may account for his radio career), and his show is powered by the same kind of boomy and barely educated bluster Rush practically invented. Also like Limbaugh, Gallagher seems to get his greatest insights and inspiration from watching professional football on television. I suppose it's almost like going to college. The fact that this guy's show has risen into the low end of the talk radio top ten (at #8!) says a lot about the audience for this format today.
And while I'm all in favor of heartfelt apologies, this tear-soaked confessional from some a highly-paid prima-donna athlete is just so much difficult listening. However, to Gallagher all these sniffy regrets amount to a "life changing moment." Usually all I get from the Smellster are "station changing moments."
Then I move up to a man speaking in a language I don't understand on another local "ethnic" (and brokered) radio station– WPAT at 930kHz. And then at 900kHz it's the "old time radio" programming I've been hearing late at night on CHML for years (They're in Hamilton, Ontario). It sounds like we missed the setup for the joke here.
Then into the nasty IBOC sound (in-band-on-channel) sound that surrounds WCBS at 880kHz. It's an envelope of nasty digital noise that bookends the analog signal of AM stations carrying "HD" programming. And it's also why you don't hear WLS in Chigago at 890kHz anywhere near the city. And not a chance of getting WWL at 870kHz in New Orleans (which reaches well into Canada for some). 1010 WINS and WOR do the same thing. DXers hate it. And in many major cities you hear it across the dial.
On WCBS you hear about the eminent retirement of Robert Morgenthau. At 90 years old, Morgenthau had been the District Attorney of Manhattan since 1975. Amazing.
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 6
I really don't know a lot about the CJBC, except that it's a CBC powerhouse that broadcasts in French at 860kHz. And it's the only significant CBC station broadcasting to the U.S. It wasn't always that way. Years ago, their English service reached a large swath of North America from 740kHz. But there was a move to consolidate all thier broadcasting to FM, and the far reaching AM frequency was abandoned by the CBC. CHWO (better known as "AM740") is a unique musical presence on the AM dial in these parts, but the loss of a major CBC on the AM band is still a damn shame. That said, I think I've been hearing interesting music late at night at 860 AM since I was a kid. And the music varies so much that I couldn't even qualify what kind of music I've heard the most on that station. I don't know what kind of pop music is at play in this sample. It's old. A show tune?
Art Bell again. From WHAS Louisville this time (at 840kHz). Another kooky caller. I wonder if Bell ever succeeded in giving up the smokes. His voice has that same nicotine gravitas as Larry King (and a bunch of guys who ain't around any more). At 820kHz we find the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC. I'm not a fan, although he occasionally has good guests. It's local. It's NPR. Then the inevitable Art Bell once again, on 810kHz, WGY upstate in Schenectady.
CKLW (800kHz in Windsor) is a funny kind of talk station that you don't hear really hear in the states. Or certainly not on a big transmitter like this. I've never heard a "political" show on CKLW (but lots of centigrade weather!) And listen to the promo for the nightly astrology show. "Life might feel like a struggle…" Lots of self-help and health shows in general on this station. In America, AM talk radio is about personalities agitating listeners with propaganda all day long. And while there is certainly political talk on Canadian radio, they seem to still be able to have radio stations and call-in shows that aren't agenda driven or enslaved by the news cycle.
That said, I really can't listen to "call the doctor" talk radio for very long. All those symptoms make my stomach hurt.
Nothing really comes in until I hit WABC here in the city at 770kHz. John Bachelor, who recently moved into a nightly slot on WABC since crazy blabbermouth Curtis Sliwa took his little red beret down to WABC's relatively new competitor, 970 "The Apple," where he's their new morning-drive entertainer.
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 7
Now we're at 760kHz. Detroit. (No IBOC from WABC, so the signal is still audible here.) There's still a little crosstalk from WABC next door. It's an ad for a drug rehab joint in the Detroit suburbs. The announcer says they can help "teens, college students, business people, CEOs, lawyers and health professionals" with their addictions.
I guess if you want to get a handle on the marketing of drug treatment services you could probably learn a little by decoding this list of less than socioeconomically diverse list of prospective "clients. Seems like they left the majority of common folk off this at list. Every style of addict mentioned here probably can afford their services, and some might have a willing (or desperate) parent who can come up with the dough.
Then it's the ABC News. The world's biggest pseudo-event of the season totally obscured any other feasible healdine that night. news focus for a few hours. Their reporter spends so much time "poetically" describing the panorama of litter and debris in the street in Times Square that it's just a little weird. And sad for a major news outlet to lend so much weight and instant nostalgia to a run-of-the-mill clean-up scene at the end of a big party.
Then there's three more quick headlines in ABC's top of the hour news. And they're all sports related. The last one is regarding the contract stalemate between Times-Warner and Fox, which was resolved a few days later. And the ABC take on this little media turf war was that if the se companies wouldn't come to a peaceful resolution agreement don't come to some agreement that a number of "Fox" football games might not air on Times-Warner cable the next weekend. Right before WJR cuts to local weather the football story is capped off with a sound bite from some media analyst. Although it wasn't the intention, I think his words may capture some of the spirit and passion of our great nation as we enter 2010:
"There is no hue and cry louder and angrier than if you deprive the American viewer of football."
I'll bet that's true. And ABC only has two minutes to encapsulate current affairs at the top of the hour, and this is what you get. No international issues. No war updates. And certainly no investigative reporting. There is no breaking news. Perhaps because the news is already broken. Tiger Woods? Still in trouble as far as I know.
At 750kHz you can hear WSB in Atlanta. But it's not pleasant. Some nights this station comes in pretty clearly up here. But then again, often I come across a Neil Boortz rebroadcast on this station. This noise is more pleasant.
AM740 is a big bunch of noise as well, which is unusual. In 2008 this station changed hands, and changed call letters. No longer CHWO, it's now CFZM. I don't hear much beyond the overnight programming, and at that timeit's still a MOR/nostalgia mix, only with more classic rock. But it's still the only full-time music format blasting out a full ("clear channel") fifty-thousand watt signal in this part of North America (WSB at 650 in Nashville is the only other one you're likely to hear in this area). AM740 has actually been coming better than I've ever heard it this month. Like a local. But on New Year's Eve the reception wasn't so hot…
The AM Dial in New York, NY – New Years Eve 2010 pt 8
Let's listen to the radio horrors of wading through that IBOC racket once again as I approach the "analog" version of New York's WOR at 710. (Which denies us the chance to hear both CKAC in Montreal at 730kHz and WGN at 720 in Chicago.)
The local news is still underway on WOR with Pat Wallace. The news is a little more substantial than the trivial world synopsis offered by ABC. The Joey Reynolds show reconvenes after the news. As an intro (instead of playing one of his many "theme songs") Joey plays some old comedy bit he recorded during his top-40 heyday in the 1960's. Let's just say some types of humor have a longer shelf life than others.
As I've written before, the Joey Reynolds show is kind of an anarchic affair. While there are some focused interviews, more often than not Joey gets a few folks behind the microphone and lets it rip without much of a game plan. When it's not good it's pretty bad. And in this particular clip it's not so good for Joey as an unidentified guest (a local restaurateur who apparently knows Reynolds and his thrifty nature rather well) gets the better of the old "shock-talker."
However, the real roasting occurs when Reynolds makes a few cracks about Dick Clark's brief appearances during his "New Year's Rockin' Eve" spectacular. As you probably know, Clark suffered a massive stroke a few years back and the once glib "eternal teenager" now speaks in a somewhat slurring and halting fashion these days. While trying to avoid sounding cruel, Reynolds makes a few lame jokes about Clark's performance that night and then wishes that he just wouldn't appear on TV at all. As you can hear, the guest (sporting a hardcore NYC accent) directly takes old Joey to task and doesn't let up. You don't often hear a radio host let a guest chew him up like this on the air. Instead of standing his ground, or taking on the animosity directly, Reynolds keeps running away, trying to change the subject. Odd.
If it wasn't for the IBOC digital garbage on each side of WOR's signal, powerhouse WLW in Cincinatti would almost certainly have been audible here. But not anymore. The first credible AM signal I came across is a messy read of a Bob Seger song at 690kHz. I don't know what station this might be. Typically I get French talk radio from Montreal here. There's an oldies station in West Virginia at this frequency, but I see they're running at all of fourteen watts at night, And then at 620kHz– WSNR, kind of a sad brokered station hanging out there in the breeze. Here they're broadcasting something in a language I do not know. Hebrew perhaps?
Nearing the very top we find the once mighty WMCA at 570kHz. Once a top 40 giant, then a pioneering talk radio station in New York, WMCA is now it's a lowly Christian outlet with a lot of brokered hours up for grabs. This is some kind of religious self-help talk show, featuring a woman complaining about her sister making the rest of her family miserable in the name of Jesus.
"There's something wrong, isn't there?"
The answer of course is "yes." Her sister reminds me a little of a certain scary relative my family tries to avoid. And it seems like a good place to close as well– because more significantly, there was something wrong with 2009 too, wasn't there?. After that one night a year ago, when it was new, it wasn't much of a "happy year." And it seems stupid has become the new smart. At least we have football. And Jesus.
But I think things are going to get better. I really do. But I'm not counting on 2010. At least not yet. It certainly didn't start out so well. Maybe by 2012 will bring some good luck for us. And from what I understand, a lot of people are looking forward to that year anyway.
Meanwhile, I hope to get back to you soon. And to get another post up where before so much time goes by next time.
I suspect if you've gotten this far, that you might just have more than a passing interest in radio. (And if you got this far by skimming over this post, maybe might wanna read this. Or at least look it over…) And in closing, there's two things I'd like to mention. For one, the Winter SWL Fest is coming up soon in Kulpsville, PA (March 5 & 6), which is a completely unique and entertaining way to spend a weekend. I certainly recommend it. I had a lotta fun there last year.
Also, if your DXing habit fell by the wayside during the interminable solar minimum over the last couple years you might wanna dust off your old receiver and try scanning around again some time. The sunspots are back! And although I haven't been able to do much serious monitoring lately, I have noticed my portables seem rather lively lately when I've taken the time to sample HF the bands, with improved reception across the board.
Meanwhile, thanks a bunch for listening. And good DX to you!

He is right too. I know I will be back thats for sure.
Just don't count on me buying tickets to games or other merchandise.
Uh... Bettmans concern is finances. When he says the fans came back, he meant financially. If you are going to refuse to spend a penny on the NHL now, then you are not coming back financially speaking. So, no, he is not necessarily right. Even you yourself say you are not going to support the NHL any more. (support means spending money)

Bob Kaminski and Greg Weber, two of the organizers for the Buffalo Marathon, were both in Boston on April 15 when bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. They knew immediately that their jobs for the Buffalo race had instantly become more important and more difficult.
"That's for sure," said Kaminski, the traffic and police course coordinator of the Buffalo race. "I was 200 yards away in a VIP tent."
"There wasn't much question it was a bomb," said Weber, the starting line/finish line coordinator for the local race. "I knew everything had changed. I stood there and watched how it was handled there."
Planning for a marathon/half-marathon like the ones that will take place on the streets of Buffalo on Sunday morning is close to a year-round operation.
The Boston bombing occurred only 41 days before more than 4,000 runners will take to the streets here, and everyone associated with security for the Buffalo event had to figure out what was needed.
"It's been a long six weeks," Weber said. "Our preparations started an hour after it happened. We've been working diligently to see that the runners are safe, and the spectators are safe."
From a security standpoint, marathons offer some large logistical challenges. The course goes for 26.2 miles throughout the city. That's a lot of territory to watch.
Buffalo's race officials spent a great deal of time thinking about such issues for past races, but preparations have increased this time.
The obvious spots to watch are the starting line and finishing area, because more people are congregated there. Still, crowds gather throughout the course.
"In the first 13 miles, really, everyone is jammed together," Kaminski said. "People are by the arena, on South Park and Ohio Street, and along the waterfront. The runners are coming from both ways in some places."
Naturally, race officials aren't going to give complete details to the public about their security plans for the race, but some measures will be obvious.
Law enforcement officials will be watching the runners and spectators on foot, on horseback, from the air and from the water.
"There are increased security procedures that people will see," Weber said. "What Boston will bring is that we'll have stricter standards, and we'll stick to those guidelines."
Runners will not be allowed to bring anything to the starting area that they aren't planning to carry in the race, and spectators will not be able to hop a barricade and give a runner a high-five for luck before the start.
"There will be more of a police presence on the street," Kaminski said. "We've sent an email to all of the volunteers, telling them to be aware of suspicious packages. If they see something, they should notify the authorities."
All of the police agencies again will be connected by one network, run by Erie County Emergency Services. That's been done for the past few years. If there is an emergency anywhere on the course, someone can be dispatched to it quickly.
A couple of other security changes had been planned even before Boston. The growth of the race – perhaps as much as 15 to 20 percent this year – has caused some changes to the way runners will line up at the start of the event.
Runners will not be allowed to enter the chute from the front at Huron and Pearl; they must go through the back at Pearl and Chippewa. The starting line will be barricaded until just before the start.
At the end of the race, people should expect to have bags checked as they enter the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center for the postrace party.
Authorities will sweep the course to make sure all runners are safely finished by 2 p.m., seven hours after the start.
Race officials are working with representatives of the Buffalo Police Department, the Erie County Sheriff's Office and the FBI. Weber has come away impressed with the way everyone is working together.
"All of the law enforcement agencies, they are cooperating at a great level," he said. "I sat at a table with them, and there was no political posturing. They all said, 'What do we need to do, and how do we make this happen?' "
Several marathons have been staged since Boston around the country. There hasn't been a formal exchange of information, although one Buffalo official did attend the event in Oklahoma City at the end of April. He reported that the event increased its police presence and handed out clear plastic bags for the runners to store their belongings.
The 2013 Boston Marathon will always be remembered as the moment when marathon running lost its innocence. That's why the victims of that tragedy will be remembered in Buffalo on Sunday.
"We'll have temporary tattoos for all the runners," Weber said. "At the start and finish lines, we'll play music by bands from Boston. People will run the race in honor of the people in Boston.
"It's sad in today's society that we have to take these precautions."

"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer," her rep Teal Cannaday tells PEOPLE in a statement. "No further comments will be made."
The couple met on the set of Bull Durham, and they have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.
Sarandon, 63, was previously married to Chris Sarandon, whom she met in college. The actress also dated director Franco Amurri in the mid '80s. The two had a daughter, Eva Amurri, in 1985. (Amurri is also an actress; she most recently appeared in Showtime's Californication).
Sarandon and Robbins, 51, were admired for their long relationship in the face of the pressures of show business, their much-discussed age difference – he's 12 years younger – and that they never married.
"I won't marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80," Sarandon has said in the past.
Both famous liberal activists, they have never been too political at home with their children. "I've never tried to force [politics] on them," the actress tells Psychologies magazine in its January issue, but adds that the election of President Barack Obama "got them excited."
The family all attended the inauguration in January, though Sarandon insists "our dinner table conversations are rarely political."
