BALTIMORE, MD (March 12, 2013)--Today Martin G. Knott, Jr., President of Knott Mechanical, Inc. was appointed
by Governor Martin OMalley as the new Chairman of the Governors Workforce Investment Board (GWIB).
The GWIB is the Governors chief policy making body for workforce development. It is a business-led board
of 45 members, a majority of whom represent the business community, as mandated by the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998 (WIA). Other members include the governor and the lieutenant governor, cabinet secretaries,
college presidents, the state superintendent of schools, elected officials, and representatives of labor
and nonprofit organizations. The GWIB is responsible for developing policies and strategies to form a
coordinated workforce system from a variety of educational, employment and training programs in the State of Maryland.
Martin is dedicated to ensuring that Marylands workforce is fully prepared to meet the future demands of Maryland
employers, said Governor OMalley. His determination in helping bridge our skills gap and strengthen our workforce
particularly through construction industry initiatives--will serve Maryland well, as we move forward in the new economy.
Im pleased to see Martin appointed as GWIB chair, said Maryland Department of Labor Secretary Leonard Howie.
He knows how to succeed and hes determined to provide opportunities for all Marylanders to succeed in the 21st
century workforce.
Knott will be responsible for the GWIB efforts related to the implementation of the Maryland Employment
Advancement Right Now (EARN) program, in collaboration with the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation
and the Department of Business and Economic Development. In addition, he will oversee the GWIBs Center for
Industry Initiative activities related to workforce data collection.
Many thanks to Governor OMalley for the opportunity to serve as chair of the GWIB. Serving on the
GWIB has provided me with valuable insight into the comprehensive approaches needed to align business,
workforce systems, and economic development initiatives in Maryland, said Mr. Knott. I look forward
to building on former Chairman Bill Robertsons many accomplishments as we explore new ways to grow and
expand our highly-skilled, highly-educated workforce.
Knott, who has served on the Board since 2007, has been instrumental in leading the GWIBs
successful construction industry initiative process which assessed and addressed Marylands
construction industry workforce needs. Under his leadership, the Maryland Center for Construction
Education and Innovation (MCCEI) was formed as an independent 501(c) (3) corporation through the
GWIB. The primary mission of the MCCEI is to work in partnership with business and government to
build a world-class educational system for Marylands construction industry. The MCCEI promotes
construction as a career of choice and serves as an information marketplace for the industry and for career seekers.
Governor OMalley also appointed Knott to the board of MEDCO (Maryland Economic Development Corporation), where
he is currently serving as the chair. Knott also serves on several local charity boards, including the Signal 13
Foundation, Johns Hopkins Harriet Lane Foundation, the Baltimore Outward Bound Center, and the Marion I. and

HAMILTON, Ont. – A Buffalo Bills fan from Hamilton who was hit by a taxi outside Ralph Wilson Stadium on Nov. 15 died just before midnight Sunday in Hamilton General Hospital.
Robert Sitter, 31, suffered head trauma, a fractured jaw and broken ribs when he was struck while running across Southwestern Boulevard with a friend at the end of the Bills-Miami Dolphins game. He was in a medically-induced coma in Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, for more than a month.
Sitter, a pool company employee and father of a 16-month-old girl, had regained consciousness, but was unable to speak, his family reported. He was transferred to Hamilton just before Christmas after a trust fund was established to pay for his mounting medical bills, which were not covered by Canadian health insurance.
Sitter, who had attended many previous Bills games without incident, had not purchased traveler's insurance. A Canadian ambulance company transported him without charge.

State Antitrust Enforcement, Mergers, and Politics
Jonathan Rose
Arizona State University College of Law
Wayne Law Review, Vol. 41, p. 71, 1994
Not long ago, the antitrust world marked both the centennial of the Sherman Act's passage and of state antitrust enforcement. The transition from the first century of antitrust law to the second provides an appropriate occasion for reflection and is one of two events prompting this Article. The other event is the National Association of Attorneys General's (NAAG) promulgation of horizontal merger guidelines, which is part of a larger group of activities by state attorneys general to establish a more prominent and expansive role for state antitrust enforcement.
The purpose of this Article is to discuss the expanded role for state attorneys general in state antitrust enforcement regarding mergers. The analysis will involve two dimensions: substantive and political. The first dimension is a discussion of the rationale of the NAAG Guidelines, analyzing the NAAG Guidelines in terms of the normal antitrust concepts applicable to mergers with comparison to the 1992 Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission Horizontal Merger Guidelines. The second dimension involves focusing on state antitrust enforcement and the NAAG Guidelines in a broader political context. The Guidelines, as well as the other NAAG activities, should be understood in terms of their political or ideological significance in the intellectual controversy regarding antitrust that has raged for some time, particularly during the last decade.

Complicated Birth with a Midwife Results in Child Abuse Charges: What Went Wrong in Albuquerque?Meredith Carroll
One bad apple shouldn't spoil it for the bunch, but that's exactly what an advocacy group for midwives in New Mexico is worried about after a complicated home birth has resulted in felony charges against a midwife who was there for assistance.
Jessica Weed, 34, was charged with felony child abuse after a home birth that lead to the hospitalization of the mom and baby, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
A Bernalillo County sheriff's detective wrote in the criminal complaint that the breech birth on Aug. 28 resulted in the baby suffering from bleeding on the brain and retinal bleeding.
Kristin Hamm, the baby's mother, was also admitted to the hospital the same day she gave birth to undergo surgery to remove portions of the placenta that became toxic after not emerging during the birth process.
An investigator said that Weed told him she "observed swelling on the baby's head but believed it could be normal," although she said she advised Himm to go to the hospital the night of the birth. For her part, Himm said she was "unaware of the hazards of retaining placenta and that Weed had not suggested hospital treatment."
Weed posted a $5,000 bond and was released from jail over the weekend. In addition to child abuse, she is accused of felony intimidation of a witness for "urging Himm and others to conceal [her] involvement in the home birth from medical personnel" by asking her to write and sign a letter saying Weed was not present and the birth had been unassisted.
The New Mexico Midwives Association is arguing that Weed shouldn't have been charged, that she is a licensed health care provider and they are afforded regulation under civil law, which means they are rarely criminally prosecuted. Part of the organization's concern, too, is that there is a maternity care shortage in the state and the arrest will only help worsen the situation.
"If we used criminal law to hold health care providers responsible for their patients' outcomes, our prison system would be overwhelmed," a spokeswoman for the association said in a statement.

Reader poll: Which Linux distro do you use?
Which version of Linux do you use?
Which is your Linux distribution of choice?
We did this poll over a year ago and felt it was time once again to ask our readers: Which Linux distro do you use? And, once again, we pulled our list of choices from DistroWatch.com's page hit rankings. These are the top 10 Linux distributions over the last month.
The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com was accessed each day, nothing more.
A lot of you may use many different versions of Linux on a regular basis. Or, maybe you don't see your choice here. Vote for the one you use the most or the one from this list that is your favorite.
Start a conversation below about your Linux distribution of choice. Tell us what you use it for and why.

Debian Sid all the way. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuse and probably the main reason I like Debian over the others so much is because of the community and its unfailing drive to steer clear of becoming commercialized. Not to mention it being a solid environment. There are inherent configurations that may cause a headache or two at times, but it's a learning experience.
Mine choice is Debian (stable) with KDE (nearly full suit) ;)
- It might have more hassle with setting it up, but when it's done, it runs rock-solid for years, never met something competitive for it.
Before settled with Debian I've been tried out others to:
* Fedora had great level of things working out-of-box and software very up-to-date and really nice web pages, forums, etc (official home) but it wasn't for me, as I found it be to unstable (for me - I like to test and tweak things).
* Same goes for Ubuntu, but as extra negative parts, it had horrible DE GUI (unity - ?tweaked gnome?) and a waterfall of adds everywhere inside OS it self.
Also tried in past thing like centos, dsl, puppylinux and many more. But Debian has remained mine trustworthy and loyal companion.
Please Add
Pear OS
Ubuntu for daily use (I like Unity).
I experiment with other linux distros in VBox.
Will install Linux Deepin (Or Linux Mint) for Windows refugees.
I use now , Solydx , a light Debian distro heavily integrated , and very well.
It came with Xfce , but I changed it to Enlightenment ( not a current version).
I find myself in no hurry to change from this

To pity authors keep only abpreselected list here. Wouldn't it be better having an add your distro if not in list feature, so also the poor unnamed ones can be mentioned, as state of now, I can only advise to not take part, cause that resultbis biased.
The only distribution that works for me for 10 years (since I'm on Linux) is openSUSE. Rock solid, stable, flexible and it just works! And quite a great experience with KDE, which I mostly use, but perfect for the times when I wish to use GNOME, XFCE, Enlightenment, LXDE etc. also!
Is it possible something is wrong with this poll?
I chose OpenSUSE, submitted, and it says I chose Mint (it's in bold and has the pollfield-chosen class applied to it in the HTML...
Gentoo rocks!
LMDE all the things - desktop distro that hasn't had Ubuntu's greasy mitts all over it.
Debian on servers, naturally.
Eu uso pclinuxos br lxde
Open Source or Free Software?
I recommend Free Software and fsf.org
GNU-Linux is FS
No matter the distribution, choose one and you'll be happy for your choice.
A rather biased survey. It leaves off one of the more popular, if not the most popular Linux distro, RHEL, or its free versions CentOS and Scientific Linux. And don't tell me that Fedora is the same as RHEL or CentOS. It is not. I run both CentOS and Fedora and the two are very different.
Pclinuxos BR lxde
Debian derivatives (SolydXK, MiniNo, Xubuntu), and PCLinuxOS.

Charles E. Boardway, 48, of Park Avenue, Medina, pleaded guilty in Niagara County Court to a felony count of driving while intoxicated.
County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III set sentencing April 4 for Boardway, who was arrested June 17 in Middleport.
• In another case Thursday, Jason R. Mucha, 43, of Old Beattie Road, Lockport, pleaded not guilty to felony DWI, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and speeding. Mucha was arrested Sept. 23 as he pulled into his driveway; his blood alcohol content was measured at .16 percent.
• Witnesses told Niagara Falls police they saw a Whitney Avenue landlord giving an unknown person a washer and dryer belonging to a former tenant. The tenant had recently moved out and had arranged for her rental appliances, valued at $,1400, to be picked up by the rental company. Instead, neighbors told police they saw the woman's former landlord turning the property over to someone else. An investigation is continuing.

An Orange County man faces felony and misdemeanor drug charges stemming from his arrest on the Rainbow Bridge, Niagara Falls police said. Raymond M. Pitt, 27, of Washingtonville, was a passenger in a car attempting to re-enter the U.S. just after 10 p.m., Customs agents said. A check of the vehicle turned up a variety of prescription pills, some liquid methadone and a small amount of marijuana. The driver, Robert J. Badstein, 28, of Monroe, New York, was ticketed for unlawful possession of marijuana. Pitt faces charges of fourth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and will be arraigned in city court.

The 21-year-old victim told police that he had just purchased the white Hot Point refrigerator from Kmart and unloaded it into the alleyway behind his apartment. The victim said he removed the door and took it upstairs and when he returned five minutes later to bring up the rest of the refrigerator it was gone.
The victim said he could see tire tracks, but the vehicle information is unknown, according to police.

The 7 Most Hilariously Badass Magazine Covers Ever
Editor: All right, Jimmy, you're up to paint the next cover. I think Kevin and Morris overdosed on that Chinese Testosterone I've been slipping into their coffee. When I came in this morning, I asked what the score was in the Sox game last night and they both choked each other to death on the spot. Now, I'm not gonna lie to you, son: I was up all night drinking motor oil and gin. I'm almost positive I'm going to die, and I am absolutely sure that I'm drunk as fuck. So I'm just gonna throw some words at you, and I want you to paint me a picture that incorporates all of them. Ready? Here we go: Topless sluts. Tribesmen. Jawlines. Jungle. America. Rickshaws. Dueling pistols. An amputated left foot. Got it? Good. Now, I'm a reasonable man, so I'm going to allow you one blackball, for the sake of coherence. What's it gonna be?
Jimmy: I abstain.
Editor: Jimmy, I've never told my wife that I loved her. I've never told my son, or even my own father. But I ... I just wanted you to know that, Jimmy.
This isn't even a fight; it's just what men did instead of handshakes back in the '30s. Or if it is a fight, then the only loser here is going to be "humanity at large," which will be lesser for the loss of either man.
The title of this piece seems to be "Gentle Slaughter of the Virgin Bride."
Or at least, that's what I assume it is, as the only other options are "Why Rocky Marciano Didn't Really Retire," and "The Red Plan to Conquer America." Unless the real reason Rocky didn't retire was that he secretly entered the professional log-stabbing circuit, or the Red plan to conquer America was to challenge us all to a Lumberjack's Debate, then I am forced to conclude that "Gentle Slaughter of the Virgin Bride" is the most likely title of this masterwork.
And actually, it makes a strange kind of sense: After clocking a solid nine hours at the Log-riding Harpoon Factory, can you think of a more accurate way to describe what a man must do to his woman than "a gentle slaughter"?
There are myriad reasons for a man to be seen beating crabs to death with a piece of driftwood, and they're all as valid as they are awesome: Maybe you're relaxing on the beach when nature responds jealously to your natural musk. Or else you're bored, you have a stick and there's a line at the volleyball courts. Or hell, maybe some shit just went down at a Sizzler.
Don't scoff, it happens:
Jim: Thanks for taking me out to dinner, Don. Too bad your wife couldn't make it.
Don: Ha! The day they allow women in a seafood restaurant is the day I start throwing women out of seafood restaurants. Come on, Jim, you know they don't have the heart to pick out a live meal. They'd probably try to dress the crabs up in little suits or something.
Jim: True, true. They just don't seem to understand how taking a life enhances flavor, do they?
Don: It's like I keep telling Donna: "Lay off the MSG, and just let me fight the chicken to the death first. Mortal combat is the best seasoning."
Jim: Say, Don, do you know what time it is?
Don: I sure do, Jim. It's time to beat them with their own kind.
Jim: What? No, I have a doctor's appointment after this and I- oh, OK; you've already started. All right. Let me get my Crab Stick ...
You can buy Robert's book, Everything is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead, or follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Or you could just beat everything with its own kind. That's really the central message here.

NFL Draft Story Central
Kansas City Chiefs
2013 draft picks: 1st round (1), 3(63), 4(99), 5(134), 6(170, 204), 7(207)
It's been quite the roster makeover for new Kansas City head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs have been ulta-aggressive in free agency and hold the top pick in the NFL Draft.
The Chiefs traded for San Francisco for backup quarterback Alex Smith. While he has never lived up to the billing of being the top overall pick it's not like Smith has played that poorly. Certainly Reid and his staff see something in him. If he can play like he did during his last two seasons with the 49ers then the Chiefs should be fine.
Kansas City also signed Chase Daniel to back up Smith. The Chiefs signed wide receiver Donnie Avery and Mardy Gilyard, tight end Anthony Fasano and offensive guard Geoff Schwartz. KC lost offensive tackle Eric Winston.
Defensively, the Chiefs lost former first round pick in defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey. He's now with the 49ers. On the flip side they had a few key free agent pickups like defensive lineman Mike Devito and cornrebacks Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson.
Draft Needs
1) Offensive Tackle
Kansas City has the top pick therefore could go in a number of different directions. First, they could sure up their offensive front and select who they deem as the top offensive tackle in the draft in Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher. Maybe they go another route and pick a defensive tackle in Star Lotulelei or a defensive end/outside linebacker like Barkevious Mingo or Dion Jordan. Perhaps they trade out of the top spot to garner more draft selections? Whatever they decide to do they will draft a tackle.
2) Defensive End
The Chiefs could use another defensive end for their 3-4 scheme. They signed Mike DeVito, who's a quality player against the run. Drafting Lotulelei first overall over a tackle would work here. Remember, the Chiefs lost their second round pick. They used that to acquire Smith from San Francisco. There are not too many guys like him in this draft.
3) Linebacker
The Chiefs could use an outside rush linebacker and a middle linebacker. You know they will do their due diligence on the top end rush guys like Barkevious Mingo, Dion Jordan and Jarvis Jones. If KC elects to move down this is the position they could identify with their first pick, depending on their landing destination and trade partner. If not, there's a guy or two in the mid-to-late rounds they could grab like a Cornelius Washington, John Simon, Quanterris Smith, Corey Lemonier, etc.
Middle linebacker could be addressed later as well. It just depends on how long the Chiefs elect to wait.
4) Quarterback
Kansas City wants a franchise quarterback but they may have to wait. Smith could either prove himself or the Chiefs will hope to grab someone at some point in this draft. Certainly there is an outside shot they grab Geno Smith No. 1 overall. But that's doubtful as things stand now. They could trade out of this spot and draft a signal caller later on. But in a quarterback deficient draft how can KC possibly draft a franchise guy? And they also are missing their 2nd round pick so they obviously valued Smith better than what they could have drafted with that selection.
5) Wide Receiver
The Chiefs re-signed Bowe and brought in Avery and Gilyard. I could still see Kansas City drafting someone here, especially in the mid-rounds. It's a deep pool at this position.

Becoming Metapolis - A Configurational Approach
Joutsiniemi, Anssi
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2010-02-05
Belongs to: Tampere University of Technology. School of Architecture. DATUTOP Occasional Papers; 32
University: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto - Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Rakennetun ympäristön tiedekunta – Faculty of Built Environment
Department: Arkkitehtuurin laitos – School of Architecture
Becoming Metapolis develops the argument that the modern city is a highly diverse and heterogeneous structure, something beyond the traditional idea of the monocentric structures that were developed during the industrial revolution and before. In essence, the modern city is polycentric to the point where its diversity needs to be recognised in the variety of its parts and the structure of its whole. In this sense, the modern city is 'beyond the polis' - which indeed the term 'metapolis' suggests. To make sense of such structures, the concept of accessibility is developed at many levels, and it is argued that the ideas of space syntax, with its focus on defining the city across many levels in terms of its patterns of influence through the depth of its networks, is a powerful way of describing and perhaps even explaining the diversity that is the metapolis.

Comments about Redbarn Pet Products Redbarn Steer Sticks Dog Chews:
These sticks looked like the ones I buy local but were very thin and did not last long at all. My small dog had them gone in no time. We usually give them to her to chew for a bit and take them away for another time. These we so thin that she ate them very quickly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Tiny and to expensive
By Bassetguy
from St Louis mo
These are the size of pencils, I have a Basset and he is not a big chewer and he eats these in five minutes or less. Don''t buy for a dog bigger than 10-15 lbs.
Way too thin! Boo
By billsharj
from Belmont, CA
I use Bully sticks for a treat and to help with cleaning teeth. These were a big disappointment. They are very thin and don't last at all.
Favorite Bully Sticks
By txlyn
from Midland, TX
These are the size that we like best. Takes our strong chewer awhile to finish one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Steer sticks too thin.
By Tom from TX
from Spring, TX
The sticks would be fine if they weren't so thin. Even my small dog can finish a stick in just a few minutes.
Skinniest bully sticks ever!
By Biz Mgr
from Tehachapi, CA
I have been feeding bully sticks to my dogs for years and I have never seen such puny, skinny, pathetic bully sticks as these. They are nothing like what is shown in the picture. I can't recommend these at all unless (for some reason) you actually want extremely thin 12-inch bully sticks. . .
Merchant response: Steer sticks are generally smaller than bully sticks. For larger dogs and heavy chewers, we recommend bully sticks over steer sticks.
Not enough
By G's momma
from Providence, RI
Bought this based on other reviews, sounded good.Have a 10 month old puppy, who's an intense chewer. He's just under 40 lbs, and really not a big dog. Lasted 5 minutes max. Not kidding. He loved the taste and the chew, for as long as it lasted.Wouldn't recommend for tough chewers.
By Bettina
from Long Island, NY
Found this Steer Stick to be much too long even for my 50 lb. dog. At first she had a hard time positioning the stick to chew. In my humble opinion these may be best suited for larger dogs. I broke the rest in half.
Worth the money
My two dogs enjoy them and the sticks do the trick of removing tarter from their teeth.

No Longer Long Lasting!!!!!!
By None
from Prescott Valley, Arizona
About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
We were part of the Simplify Life Program. We ordered Redbarn 12" Steer Sticks (25-pack) on an ongoing basis. When we started with the program the steer sticks were very high in quality. However, that changed during the last few months. The steer sticks we received the last few months were very thin and brittle and our dogs finished them in approximately 5 minutes. Normally it would take them over 30 minutes to finish one of the steer sticks. One of our dogs weighs 54 pounds and the other is a greyhound and she weighs 64 pounds. We are no longer purchasing the Redbarn steer sticks. It's unfortunate the quality of this product changed so drastically from excellent to unacceptable.
Merchant response: We checked with the vendor, as we know it is difficult to control the size of animal tendon, this is the response we received: "Steer sticks will vary in size based on raw material availability. Sometimes they will be larger almost like a small bully but the norm is the thinner more brittle sticks"

perfect for cold mornings
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
32-45F, wear it under a normal helmet and your ears and head are immune to wind chill. Once it heats up it is so small and light you can just stuff it in a pocket. I've also used it at snowboarding and it is perfect under your helmet.
Useful piece of gear

This is a nice transitional piece, tuck it into your jersey pocket and as the evening cools off, it is an option for warmth. Thin, simple, warm.

Hoard's Dairyman:
Excellent Guernsey Classification
Date:Sun, 09/30/2012
American Guernsey Association appraiser, Brian Schnebly evaluated the Hoard's Dairyman Guernsey herd on September 27 and 28. His visit was just days before hundreds of visitors will tour the farm while at World Dairy Expo.

New excellents
Jan made over 28,000 pounds of milk and 1300 pounds of fat last lactation. She is sired by Idle Gold E Challenge-ET. She is backed by two EX-91 dams with top production.
Another new excellent is Dairyman Challenge Dalite. She's the dam of a bull that was syndicated at national convention this year. Last year she completed a record of 29,971 M 5.3 1580 F 3.8 1153 P. The grandam is Rutter Bros Royal Oaks Dawn EX-92 EX-92-MS.

How do you rate Doctor Who: The Time of Angels? (5=Fantastic)
Sorry, just didnt grab me. Episode had nothing on Blink. I didnt even care about the characters that were bumped off by the angels. Lets hope episode 2 is better.
The story lacked a lot of originality. For example, the talk on the walkie talkies was a direct copy with the silence in the library's phantom speaker on the space suit.
The reveal of the angels (plural) was great, the bit with Amy and the video in the pod was great, but again, the shear scaryness in Blink when the character entering the house had no idea an angel was creaping up on him was so perfectly executed (very alien 1). The angel moments in this episode had nothing on that at all.
Rating 3/5

We will always try to do the best friend
Hi All
Brand new to the site, but not to the game by any stretch. Came across SFY on another board and SFY alerted me to the community here. Just getting started but the site looks AWESOME to say the least.
Anyway, getting back to my reason for this post.
I have wanted to try human grade pharm product for a bit but from what I saw prices and T/A times had me hesitant. I went back and forth with Julia. She got back to me with a price that was impossible to resist. I still wasn't too sure about the T/A time, but I figured wtf and placed my order.
Product came VERY FAST to where I live. That was the time I was quoted and arrived nicely packaged. Bayer amps were the most beautiful sight these eyes have seen in quite some time.
In the middle of my cycle and gains are nice. Bodyweight up a few pounds and picking up a pounds on lifts each week, so I am very happy. I am taking only the TestoViron amps. And very modest amounts to start. Will revert back when cycle is over.
I have subsequently ordered another batch of Testovirons and they just arrived a few days ago. Another great T/A time. I couldn't possibly ask for more. Communication is very quick. Whatever questions I have had, were answered and T/A times as quoted/advertised.
I would highly recommend!
Thx to Julia and everybody at SFY for a job well done.

on December 27, 2012 - 8:04 AM
The University at Buffalo medical school's move downtown has inspired plans for $40 million in new rental housing.
The medical school is moving near Metro Rail's Allen Street Station, and Legacy Development plans to construct market-rate housing on about 10 acres near the LaSalle Station, which would give students easy access to the school.
"We're excited," said University Council Member Bonnie E. Russell. "It's been so empty and so vacant for so long."
The project is still in the early phases, but the Common Council on Wednesday agreed to grant the company designated developer status for 4.7 acres of city-owned land adjacent to property Legacy already owns. The company will be able to test the soil, survey the property and develop a site plan that will be sent to the Planning Board for its approval.
Legacy expects to begin construction near the end of the third quarter of 2013, and construction will likely last between a year and 18 months, said company President Frank Chinnici.
The number of units and their rental price are still in development, Chinnici said, and noted that while students likely would be interested, the apartments won't necessarily be marketed as student housing.
The land is on LaSalle Avenue near William Price Parkway. Some buildings will be demolished, including the home of radio station WUFO 1080-AM, which will move, as its lease is up in June, Chinnici said.
As the project progresses, Legacy will likely purchase the land from the city, said Office of Strategic Planning Executive Director Brendan R. Mehaffy.
A purchase price will be included in a Land Disposition Agreement, which will be sent to the Council for a vote.
That agreement will demand that Legacy replace and reconstruct tennis courts now on the property and maintain public access to them, as well as maintain the same amount of public parking that is currently available at the site, according to the document the Council approved on Wednesday.
Legacy is a local company that built Autumn Creek apartments off North French Road near Transit Road in Amherst.
Also Wednesday:
• The Council approved a sale of low-income housing on nine scattered sites near Whitney Place and Johnson Park. The Whitney Preservation Housing Development Fund Corp., affiliated with National Foundation for Affordable Housing Solutions Inc., a Maryland company, is purchasing the properties from Buffalo Village Associates, affiliated with AIMCO, based in Denver. Council approval was necessary because the property was exempt from certain property taxes. That exemption will terminate once the sale is completed.
The new company has told the city it plans to rehabilitate the properties, maintain them as affordable housing and rent to responsible tenants.
• Council Member Christopher P. Scanlon has written a letter to Great Lakes Physician Services to discuss its contract with the city regarding treatment of injured firefighters. He's asked a company representative to attend the Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday.
Scanlon's letter states he has made several attempts to contact the company and if he does not get a response he will move to terminate the contract.
The Buffalo Professional Firefighters Association has appeared before the Finance Committee to discuss its concerns about medical treatment of its members.
• Council Member Joseph Golombek has written a letter to Apple, Inc. CEO Timothy D. Cook, inviting him to consider moving some production of Apple products to Buffalo. Cook said earlier this month that a line of Apple computers would be manufactured in the United States, but did not say where.
• The Council awarded a contract for $90,960 to Hohl Industrial Services, Inc., to repair the Ohio Street Lift Bridge and the Michigan Avenue Lift Bridge, after the state Department of Transportation issued "red structural flags" for both sites. The city's Public Works Department declared the needed repairs an "emergency situation" because of the "scope, magnitude and time criteria."
• Council members met with Corporation Counsel Timothy A. Ball in executive session to discuss the city's agreement with the Seneca Gaming Corp.
• The appointment of Donna J. Estrich as commissioner of administration, finance, policy and urban affairs was sent to the Legislation Committee, which meets Wednesday, for further discussion.
• A request for a police camera at Shirley Avenue and Orleans Street from a block club in the University District was sent to the Police Department for its review.

Difficult to administer ...BUT
By Michael
from Calais, Maine
Two cats age 15. This is difficult mixing with food but its only been two weeks. I break a pill in half then cut each piece in half and administer by mouth with PetAlive kidney support mixed with water in a syringe. I gave them this twice a day and now 3 times and have noticed a great improvement. They also are getting more accustomed to it. Since they are just getting off antibiotics for a kidney infection, I'll try mixing the Essentials with wet food. I also give then Newtons Homeopathic detox solution at night and if there is a problem with throwing up I quarter a roll aids tab, crush well and mix with 1 cc water then syringe them after the detox. No more throw ups when I awake in the morning. Hope this helps.
This really works!

My older tomcat was having symptoms that seemed to be pointing to kidney issues in the last few months. I was frightened for him as he has always been very healthy and barely ever got sick. As I do not believe in regular Western based veterinary care, I did my research in the Only Natural Pet Care health library and once again this site really came through with recommendations for natural products that are effective. I am happy to report that TC is back to his old self and goes to the bathroom regularly and has the energy that he did when he was much younger. Amazingly, he loves the taste of these vitamins and eats them up like they are candy. I am so thankful for Only Natural Pet!

Helping Senior Cat In Renal Failure
By Yellarose
from Austin, TX
Sustaining 16 year old Persian Cat named "Daisy". I have used this product before and the ingredients in this supplement is helping my cat. I dissolve the tablet in a small cup with water in the microwave for about 25 seconds and then mix with wet catfood. Daisy loves the taste. I would definitely buy it again and again.

great product!
By Petmamma
from San Francisco, CA
I have a female 16 yr old cat in early kidney disease (CRF) that has been taking half the dose (1 pill per day)for 2 months. Her blood work has improved since! She has other kidney problems but the Creatinine and BUN kidney levels have come down some since taking this compared to her levels 5 months ago! The downside is crushing these but its easily done with a metal spatula then mixed with food. I add some low sodium tuna juice to help her eat it. This product has great ingredients like astralagus herb, fatty acids, b vitamins, and a little potassium that early stage CRF cats need. This product seems more tolerable and less irritating for CRF cats than the "UTI" products I've tried. No vomiting. The smell is a little herbal but it has fish flavor in it too. This is a great addition to an all wet-low protein/phosphorus diet...my cat has remained stable.

This is a great for crf cats!
By Catwhisperer
I have a 16 yr old female cat that was in the first stages of kidney disease. She has taken half a dose (1 of these pills daily) for 2 months (she's only 6 lbs). She has some other kidney problems as well, but since the recheck of her blood values, her creatine and BUN levels are lower than they were 5 months ago! I was surprised. Her appetite improved some and has more energy. The only downside is crushing these into a powder and adding to food. I recommend getting some low sodium tuna water and add just the a tsp of the liquid to the food. Also, for a renal failure cat, this seems to be more calming on kidneys than other "uti" products I've tried which were too irritating for her. She is doing better with this pill, all wet food, and low protein/phosphorous food.

Very effective as of 4 weeks in use
By Kitty cat lover
from El Paso, Texas
My 13 yr old female cat, with early onset renal dysfunction, loves the Renal Essential vitamin if I chop it up and mix with a little water and her food. She has been taking it this way for almost 4 weeks and I began to notice a distinct change in her activity level and behavior, after she was on it daily for 2 weeks. I look forward to her renal blood work up in two more months, given that she keeps improving week by week, since taking this. Yes, it takes a little longer to prepare the vitamin to give to her, but with the results I see so far, it is more than worth it to do this. I am amazed at her improvement in just the 4th week. She is very active now and engages in play, multiple times per day, something she has not done since being diagnosed with early onset renal dysfunction around 18 months ago. I will send an update to you all once she has her next renal function tests in 2 months. I am very happy with the results so far!!

Did i get a bad bottle?
By Cel
from Somerset NJ
I had high hopes for the product after my 14 year old cat had to go to the ER for IV fluids from dehydration due to gastroenteristis and renal problems. I even checked with my vet before opening the bottle. When I did open it I almost keeled over from the strong chemical smell of the product. I crushed half a tablet and tried adding it my my guy's food and he would have none of it. I could even smell it in the food. Is this the way it's supposed to smell? I just flushed $10+ down the drain. There's no way he will eat this stuff.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Huge pills
By naturegrl
from the nature coast,fl
With several cats suffering from CRF,I'm willing to try just about anything that might help them.But these pills are absolutely huge and hard.There is No way that a cat will eat them.I tried grinding them up but the cats absolutely refused to eat anything I mixed the powder with.I also tried mixing with water and using a syringe but that is way too stressful for the cats.
great product
By animal person
from new york
I use this everyday for my 16yr. Old male cat. He had a bladder infection, after that had cleared, my vet rechecked him and said his kidney counts were off. I started looking for a product that might help him. I found this and have been using it since August. So far so good. My cat likes it, I crush a half pill 2xs a day and put it in his wet food. I hope it continues to help him, as we all know we all love our pets. I would definitely recommend it. The price is good, and I feel it's it's easy to giveThank you for a good product.

Manoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies
Keun Lee, director of the Center for Economic Catch-up and a professor of economics at Seoul National University, will discuss his new book, Schumpeterian Analysis of Economic Catch-up: Knowledge, Path-Creation, and the Middle-Income Trap, being published in October by Cambridge University Press. Lee's book presents a new analysis of the reasons why some Asian countries, including China, have managed to move, or are moving, beyond the so-called middle-income trap to catch up with the most advanced economies of the world while others have failed to do so. His study is one of the first to apply methods of using patent data to analyze innovation systems at the country, sector and firms levels in order to explore their impact on economic performance. This event is sponsored by the Center for Korean Studies and the UH Mānoa Department of Economics through the Seiji Naya Fund. A reception will follow the presentation.

Sooo anyway, the model format is all open so anyone can make their own characters, define its special moves, and import it into the game easily...so you can see the potential in this game if people out there contribute.
The game is obviously still VERY early in dev, but we already have it up and running, playable too I guess.

The exporter uses the underscore character, "_" , to know when objects are duplicated in the scene. So if you want say, multiple copies of the same rock, you make Rock_01, Rock, Rock_2345 and only Rock.bin will be exported and all the <object> instances in the XML file will point at Rock.bin .
Bump mapping should be supported in the future if there's a stage that looks much better with it on. Animation is another posibility, constant rotations or objects that travel around a spline path are do-able.
I would try to keep the total texture usage under 10 megs (uncompressed, no penalty for reusing textures from another object) .
Polycount can be fairly high, but I'm not sure if you even need to make two sided areas since the camera does not change rotation yet.

The Reviews are in for Apple's "New iPad"
Brandon Hill

Sender E-mail
Apple has another solid hit with the "New iPad"
Apple's "New iPad" was
announced last week to much fanfare in San Francisco
. As is usually the case with new iPad or iPhone releases,
launch day pre-orders sold out quickly
and those who were late to get their orders in could end up waiting for a few weeks to get their hands on one.
As a refresher, an Apple A5X processor that has seen its onboard RAM double from 512MB to 1GB powers the new iPad. The A5X is also blessed with a quad-core GPU which boosts gaming performance and helps feed the new iPad's biggest new feature: a 2048 x 1536 resolution Retina display. Other niceties include a 5MP rear-facing camera, and optional LTE connectivity.
On the negative side, the weight and thickness of the iPad has grown to accommodate a new 42.5 watt-hour battery (the iPad 2 had a 25 watt-hour battery). In addition, Apple is once again being stingy with storage capacities on the iPad. Even though app sizes are
doubling or even tripling in some cases
due to Retina support, Apple is holding firm with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities -- the same lineup as when the first generation iPad launched in 2010.
Tonight, however, we're getting our first look at what the new iPad can do courtesy of a flood of reviews. Here are some select excerpts from the reviews that are currently available:
Joshua Topolsky of
The Verge
gives his thoughts on the iPad 3's gorgeous new Retina display:
Yes, this display is outrageous. It's stunning. It's incredible. I'm not being hyperbolic or exaggerative when I say it is easily the most beautiful computer display I have ever looked at…
You literally can't see pixels on the iPad's display when you hold it at a regular distance, and even up close you have to really inspect the thing to see dots. For rendered text or high resolution images, it just looks otherworldly; like a glowing piece of paper.
The difference between the iPad 2's display and the new iPad's Retina display [Source: The Verge]
Walt Mossberg of
fame touched on the battery life of the new iPad. While it's not quite the power-sipper as its predecessor, it still posts some impressive numbers.
Apple claims up to 10 hours of battery life between charges, and up to nine hours if you are relying strictly on cellular connectivity. In my standard battery test, where I play videos back to back with both cellular and Wi-Fi on, and the screen at 75% brightness, the new iPad logged 9 hours and 58 minutes, compared with 10 hours and 9 minutes for the iPad 2. Other tablets died hours sooner in the same test. In more normal use, the new iPad lasted more than a full day, though not as long as the iPad 2 did.
The original iPad didn't have any cameras at all, while the iPad 2 came with a standard front-facing camera for FaceTime and an incredibly subpar rear-facing camera for pictures and 720p video. The new iPad can now features a 5MP camera and bumps video recording up to 1080p. Vincent Nguyen of
gives his thoughts on the new optics:
Apple says it has borrowed the camera technology and optics from the iPhone 4S for the new iPad, though still the 5-megapixel images the tablet is capable of do lag behind the 8-megapixel examples from the smartphone. There's more visible noise and chromatic aberrations at full zoom, though the quality is far, far better than any stills the iPad 2 can achieve. You also get face recognition for up to ten people per frame, automatically adjusting focus and exposure, but the camera app UI itself is no more complex than before.
While the actual CPU hasn't improved much over the iPad 2, the integrated GPU has definitely been turbocharged, as witnessed by Jason Snell of
That power comes from the X factor in the A5X processor—a new quad-core graphics engine. And sure enough, the third-generation iPad blows away every other iOS device in terms of graphics performance. In our tests using the GLBench 3D graphics testing app, the third-generation iPad could draw a complex 3D scene at the full frame rate of its display, 60 frames per second, without breaking a sweat. And in GLBench offscreen tests, which aren't constrained by the display's frame rate, the third-generation iPad had a frame rate 1.6 times that of the iPad 2 (and 13 times that of the original iPad).
[Source: MacWorld]
Overall, the new iPad seems to be another solid entry into the tablet field for Apple. It holds the line on CPU performance and battery life (at the expense of device thickness and weight) while offering an impressive Retina display, optional LTE, and a tremendous boost in graphics performance. Pricing remains the same as previous iPad model ($499/$599/$699 for Wi-Fi; add $130 for LTE models), but Apple still doesn't have the guts to give users an increase in storage capacities.
To sum things up, Joshua Topolsky offers these words of advice:
Let's be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad's market position as the dominant player and product to beat.

RE: Preempting Android fan responses
Did I deny that you can be satisfied with an Android tablet? I never said that -- not once.
What I'm saying is that it's hard to get excited about them, and there are enough areas where the iPad is clearly better (display, real-world speed, app ecosystem, media features) that a lot of the arguments for current Android tablets don't hold up. Many of them are based on dead stereotypes.
Speaking of dead stereotypes, there is a delicious, delicious irony to you claiming someone has "overpaid" for an iPad. Go price an HTC Jetstream, ASUS Transformer Prime, or Galaxy Tab 7.7 without a contract and then get back to me on what overpriced is.
RE: Preempting Android fan responses
Speaking of dead stereotypes.
As an Android fan, I can say that the new ipad looks very nice. I applaud Apple for raising the bar on resolution, both phone and tablet now. Great job. The iPad is good... You on the other hand, act like kind of a douche. The very nature of your original post above screams douchbaggery. BTW, Android 4 rocks in as many ways as the new iPad does. IOS is showing its age and needs a modern stimulus upgrade big-time. At this point in time I would say the iPad is the best hardware out there, but is being held back by its outdated OS.
RE: Preempting Android fan responses
What are most tabs used for right now is for multimedia and web. Flash right now is the standard really for multimedia on the web. I know Flash is (so is sliverlight) dead on mobile. The writing for both was on the wall with HTML 5 coming. The point I was trying to make was the reason why Apple need more apps. It takes a lot to run Flash (which Android shows) well. Apple said no Android said yes. So for Apple you
apps to do many of the thing you can do on web browser. With Android it not such a big deal. When HTML 5 becomes a standard (in like 2 years) then there will be no need for Flash or other media plug-ins really, it will all be apart of the web standard. As of right now you
Flash to really get the best multimedia web experience or you can do Apple and download 10-20 apps to do the same thing. Would/do you really need a YouTube, Facebook, bank, or other apps that come with most tabs if you can do it in web browser, nope. Yes Apps are easier to deal with on a phone screen but on tab not really. When you have 7" to 10" screen Apps seem limited and really weaker compared to Flash (which Android Tabs are showing with it's smaller App base) based web sites. So what are the 50 top apps on both anyway mainly games. Games Apps are what are downloaded the most on Tabs right now and most games are available on both so a big App base means nothing really. So what other apps/programs could people want/need if they dont want to play games all day? Office, 3dmax, Photoshop or other windows based programs/app maybe.
That where Windows 8 for tabs comes in. Office is going to be a part of (so say Microsoft) it. You know most company with real useful programs/app are going to remake their programs/app work for it, a lot of IT people are going to be happier deal with it then Apple/Android (which means company will by them) Tabs, and those people who are on the fence about Tabs (for whatever reason) can now justify (its for work or school) buying one now. Flash nor sliverlight work for Windows 8 tab right now but you know is coming. We all know that (even if a lot of us hate it) Windows is basically the standard OS for PC's at home, work, or school. Its going to sell and if it works as go as Microsoft says with their other stuff (phone, xbox, kinect, and skydive) its going to sell even better. Can it come out at 399 or less, yes. Look at netbooks, you can get them at 199 on up. With Asus coming out with 7" T3 and 10" T3 for 249 and 399. Im sure in another 6 months there can be Windows Tabs in that price range.
As far as Android being overpriced, both are. 3g/4g or WiFi there are a lot of Tabs that are way overpriced for what you can really use them for. That's why Fire is selling so well. For what most people use a Tab for it does ok. Can it do Flash, read eBooks and look at movies, yes! Will it over take Ipad with it's next update, maybe. Will Apple try can sue them, you can bet on it lol!!
