Had this for a few weeks now, didn't expect it to be as big as it is for the money, used it hot and used it cold doesn't take long to get to the desired temperature that u want it. Easy to wrap around joints with the Velcro sleeve it comes in. Welllllll worth having around for those nggly injuries u can pick up.Goes Well With:A freezer and microwave
Ordered two of these to deal with back and stomach pains. Items arrived within 48hrs of placing order, despite using standard delivery service. Fantastic! Item works well, and keeps hot/warm for approx. 15-20 minutes. Would be nice if it remained heated for longer, but that fact it only takes 70-90 seconds to heat up in a microwave means it's not such an inconvenience. Have not tried it cold yet. Price is excellent, other websites charge a lot more. Would definitely recommend to others.
This heats up easily in the microwave and I love that I can strap it around me so I can walk around with it and keep it on my back (where it gets pretty much all its use) unlike a hot water bottle. It doesn't stay hot as long as a hot water bottle, but since it's so easy to whack in the microwave again, this isn't really a bother. I haven't used it as an ice pack yet (I'm a wuss and hate getting cold!)Goes Well With:Sore muscles
Ordered two of these as the size wasnt shown and they didnt look big in the pitcher. They arrived and I was shocked as these are a very good size. Would highly recommend, have only used as cold backs but they do the job.
Can get the ice pack nice and tight on the sore area
I have only used this as a cold pack, but it's amazing. The elasticated velcro strap on it makes it so much easier to use than your average ice pack which you have to try and balance in the correct place and hold to you when you move. Can't believe the high quality compared to the low price either. Would highly recommend.Goes Well With:Injury/muscle soreness/for use to prevent muscle soreness
Items exactly as advertised. Easy to use, and effective. Ordering simple, and delivery very prompt. Ordered many items from My Protein and always been very happy.
Doesn't stay hot long enough for it to be effective...
This eases all the little niggles you get through training hard as an athlete and aids with recovery. Definitely recommend.
Was struggling with a twinge in my lower back. Heat one of these in my mircowave and strap it to my back whilst watching tv, helped ease the pain, cannot fault one bit!
I've recently been using this product for my elbows which i have hyper extended and i have got to say this is the best ice pack i've used. I really like how you have to oppurtunity to apply more pressure with minimal effort because of the support you get with the ice pack. Thanks a lot Myprotein. Yet again another great product from you!
Hot gel can leak from this product - potentially dangerous!
I recently bought the hot/cold gel pack as I found that different heat pack I had bought in the pharmacy where awkward and difficult to keep on the sore area. The hot/cold gel is great as it is secured in a soft fabric sleeve with a adjustable Velcro strap. I used this heat pack on my lower back and it stayed in place due to the effectiveness of the Velcro stretch strap. With other heat packs sometimes the heat can become unbearable on the area. With the myprotein pack its inside the sleeve which has breathable holes and makes the pack comfortable and you don't need to take the pack off constantly because it gets to hot like with other heat packs. I would recommend this gel pack for anyone suffering from muscle soreness and want a heat pack that doesn't become unbearable after a few minutes
As a heat pack it works well but it doesn't stay warm for very long and that's going by the intructions on the pack. Not used as a cold pack yet
This ice wrap is fantastic and for the price an absolute bargain. I've had it for a while but didn't feel the need to leave a review. But I've recently gone through a two stage ACL reconstruction process (1st stage key hole, 2nd stage full reconstruction) and this little ice wrap has been a god send. I cant comment on the heat side, but for ice therapy its brilliant. I have to ice my knee for 15-20 mins every two hours. the sleeve it comes with is of great quality, the ice just slips in and secures via some Velcro, it freezes but is still quite soft which was perfect for post op as the knee was sore. it wraps around perfect and remains in place. Then pop it back in the freezer for 2 hours, then repeat, its cold enough to be doing the job perfectly. Great product my protein.Goes Well With:Knee surgery!!
Product heats in the microwave easily. Retains heat well. I haven't tried freezing yet! Because of the pouch and Velcro it's really good for getting to the more awkward to reach places too!
I was recommended hot/cold therapy for my very tight calves. I love that this does both! The price is epic too! I've recently started power lifting and am putting my body through some pretty strenuous workouts - on top of that I have a normal life, job etc. This is really good, fits and secures nicely on you region of interest. Only thing id say is it could be bigger. Only used it as an ice pack so far and my tight calves improved (but this is a big problem and needs more than ice).Goes Well With:Heavy workouts
this product never fails i bought two cause they are well priced and cheaper then buying one in other stores Its great cause i can go to the gym and come home pop on my lower back or any muscle thats aching and it works like a charm highly recommended quick and easy Goes Well With:well its an ice pack so nothing really
Quick delivery, great price and an amazing product. Very versatile, can use hot and cold. Was recommended by family member and would definitely recommend to others!
I have had pain in my neck for some time and I have used before a wheat bag to warm it up. This Myprotein gel pack is much better as it comes with a handy cover that has a long elastic band with velcro. The gel pack is about 25cm x 10cm and it keep heat pretty long
The elastic strap on this pack makes it very useful as it extends around your entire torso to keep the pack in place when moving around rather than having to sit still, particularly on your back or ribs
These are an excellent product, hard wearing, long-lasting and effective. I can't recommend them more highly.
Good little product, do what it says... Great price
Great product esp given the price, very handy for someone like me who gets lots of aches and pains
Perfect for when my partner is ever sore from training or injury. They are great as they can be wrapped around any part of the body, he uses them on his knee and lower back but they can be put anywhere. Just be careful when you put them in the microwave... keep an eye on them as I've had mine explode as I didn't pay attention and it couldn't be saved :( Keep turning them over every 30 seconds to start with and then every 10 -15 seconds when they are hot. Move the liquid around and make sure it doesn't bubble. Bubbles = trouble!Goes Well With:Any aches or pains in your body
Very good product, everyone must have this at home. even if you don't lifting or doing sports. This is cheap but when you need it is pricelessnessGoes Well With:-
I recently snapped my ACL and had a hamstring graft to fix it. I was told when I snapped it to ice it regularly to help with the swelling and pain, and to do the same after surgery. I decided to give these a whirl and bought five of them, so I had plenty. To say I am best please is an understatement. I have had these for 10 months or more and all are still in perfect condition. The straps are good and can fit round your waist if you have back pains. Easy to strap around any part of the body and the velcro on the strap is still strong and sticky like the first day i bought it. You can have it on loose or you can really make it tight as the strap is elastic so its really good for getting that compression. 5/5 from me and I would highly recommend it to anyone.Goes Well With:Freezer - Recovery
Exactly as described, works perfectly well abs the straps are such a good idea
This is an amazing product. It's much bigger than expected, i thought it would be a wee hand sized item but its a decent size. This is great for using cold when the kids have grazes and bumps, and it's also great used hot for gym injuries, and period pains! Such a versatile product, and the cover is an added bonus. Amazing value for money :)Goes Well With:kids, gym injuries, painful periods.
perfect nearly, the strap to hold the ice pack is very good, secure, comfortable. But the ice pack is a bit too solid, cant bend it around knee easily. I have to let it thaw a little 1st, well worth buying tho, does the job I need.
Work brilliantly when heated, the steps are brilliant for holding in place (I use around my ankles both hot and cold). Really happy with these. One criticism is one of them burst at 90 seconds in the microwave on the 3rd use.
I bought this product, not for myself but for my elderly grandmother. Her leg was swollen and she needed a cold compress to strap to her leg as she's not able to elevate her legs due to disability. This is without a doubt the best support I've seen, especially for the price, and has helped her reduce the swelling on her leg. The gel pack and sleeve are much bigger than I imagined (11" x 4.5"), which was great as the area of swelling was quite significant. After seeing how great this product is, I think I'll be buying one for myself to cure my aches and pains after training.Goes Well With:Swelling
Works brilliantly and tastes great. The main problem being that at parties it doesn't mix well with others.
Loved the quality and the price! Also fast delivery, Thank you Myprotein
Ordered this to help treat an ongoing knee injury. Its cheap and cheerful (i.e. you get what you pay for) but it does the job. It's MUCH more effective than a bag of frozen peas!! My only concern is that the plastic bag containing the gel itself isn't especially thick and I wonder how much flexing it will withstand before the gel leaks (you have to be quite firm with it to flex/bend it round the knee joint for example when its frozen)- time will tell. My gripe however is the hugely wasteful way in which the product was packaged by Myprotein. The gel pack and holder are packed in a very slim cardboard box that could easily be slipped into a padded envelope for damage-free delivery. Instead I was greeted with a large cardboard box in which the slim cardboard box was inserted diagonally, surrounded by completely unnecessary plastic air bags. I'm no eco-warrior, but this sort of thing winds me up, as its totally unnecessary and irresponsible, as the vast majority of plastic packaging ends up in landfill. Myprotein should be taking their environmental responsibilities rather more seriously in my opinion!

The Stetson men's and women's soccer teams were honored by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) on Thursday, earning the annual Team Academic Award for posting a grade point average above 3.0 over the course of the 2011-12 academic year.
Of the 717 college soccer teams honored, 220 were men's and 497 were women's. Stetson was one of only 148 institutions that had both their men's and women's programs recognized for outstanding academic achievement.
The Hatters were joined by Atlantic Sun Conference competitors ETSU, USC Upstate, Mercer, and Jacksonville on both the men's and women's sides. The Kennesaw State, North Florida, Northern Kentucky, and Florida Gulf Coast women were also honored.
This marks the third consecutive year that both the Stetson men's and women's teams have earned the accolades from the NSCAA, continuing a strong tradition of success in the classroom by T. Logan Fleck's and Julie Orlowski's programs, respectively. It is the fourth straight time the women have been honored.
"I am very proud of having our team listed on the NSCAA Academic list again, as it is a goal for our men's soccer program every year here at Stetson University," Fleck said. "I'm very proud of our scholar-athletes for their representation of our sport and our university!"

The Buffalo Bills added a viable starting option to their quarterback roster Saturday night by reaching a contract agreement with free-agent Kevin Kolb.
The full terms of a two-year deal for the 28-year-old, five-year NFL veteran was approved by both sides about 9 p.m., a league source told The News.
The deal is expected to be worth a maximum value of about $13 million, which makes Kolb the clear favorite over incumbent seven-year veteran Tarvaris Jackson in the Bills' QB competition. Jackson signed a one-year deal last month.
The Bills still are expected to take a quarterback in the NFL Draft and give the rookie a chance to win the starting job. However, with Kolb on board, the urgency to rush a rookie onto the field likely decreases.
Kolb's physical talent and arm strength are comparable to that of former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is 9-12 as an NFL starter and has had some good moments on the field. He helped the Arizona Cardinals to a 4-0 start last season.
However, injuries have defined his career thus far. He played in only six games last season, getting knocked out for the year in Arizona's Oct. 14 loss to Buffalo due to detached ribs and a sprained shoulder. Kolb suffered a serious concussion that caused him to miss the last three games of the 2011 season. He missed two games in the 2010 season due to a concussion, as well.
Kolb was released by the Cardinals earlier this month under circumstances similar to those that prompted Fitzpatrick's departure from the Bills. Kolb was cut loose just before Arizona was due to pay him a $2 million bonus.
The Bills' push to reach an agreement with Kolb came just as the NFL's veteran QB market appears ready to dry up. Cleveland signed journeyman Jason Campbell earlier this week. Oakland reportedly is ready to release Carson Palmer in a salary-cap related move. The Raiders have an interest in Seattle backup Matt Flynn. The signing of Kolb leaves Flynn as arguably the last worthwhile QB acquisition available before the draft. A 2007 second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, Kolb signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Cardinals in July 2011, of which $12 million was guaranteed.
Overall, Kolb played in just 15 games with the Cardinals over two years, going 255 of 436 for 3,124 yards, 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Playing behind a porous offensive line, he was sacked 57 times.
Jackson, who turns 30 in three weeks, owns a 17-17 record as a starter. Jackson was acquired by the Bills last August for a seventh-round draft pick. However, Jackson spent the entire season as the No. 3 QB in coach Chan Gailey's offense. Jackson was re-signed by the Bills to a one-year contract in February.
The Bills also have 24-year-old Aaron Corp on the roster. Corp spent last year's training camp with the Bills.

Tough Little Car
by FB from | April 7, 2012
My 1991 Prizm is one tough car. My wife and I used to go on dates in this car back in 1991. The only repairs that it has required is on normal wearable parts. I trust its reliability and has been a true value for the money. Its a little car that will not let you down. I enjoy most of all its simplicty as it continues to defy our current economic conditions.

Great Car!
by Geo Jeff from Western NY | November 25, 2010
I actually have a 1991 (same car as the 92). Its the best car I've ever owned. Yes, I've replaced the exhaust manifold ($150) and the flex pipe ($300) and the starter -- twice ($300 total). But so what ? I've owned the car for 14 years and haven't put $1500 worth of repairs in it, not counting the usual brakes/tires/exhaust. I bought it for 6 grand when it was six years old, and still don't (14 years later) have 10 grand into the car -- total. I wish they still made them like this one!

Immortal Car :-)
by LavaLizard from Missouri | January 2, 2009
We bought our Geo with the rear end smashed in from a crash... My dad managed to repair it (it looks funny though:-P) and we've been driving it for about 8 years now. It had 120,000 miles on it when we got it and we're now at 217,000, and it's still running quite smoothly. It's taken a lot of abuse in it's 18 year life but never has stopped working. I think it can be officially called immortal at this point:-)

The Geo Prizm was undoubtedly the best car I ever owned. It handled beautifully and was fairly comfortable for a small car. It was a very durable and economical car to operate. I owned my Prizm for 7 years and put over 140k miles on the vehicle until it was totaled in an auto accident. Outside of regular servicing, the only maintenance that I had were the need of tires, bulbs, belts, 1 alternator, and two batteries. The only "quirkiness" to the Geo Prizm that I experienced (and according to some others who owed the Prizm), was a periodic burnout of the passenger side tail/break light.

On behalf of the Board and staff of the California Tahoe Conservancy, I would like to express my most sincere sadness upon learning of the recent passing of Bob Harris.
Bob served on our board from 1990 to 1996 as the Forest Supervisor for the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, representing the U.S. Forest Service. During that time his efforts contributed to the authorization of more than $52 million in expenditures for the acquisition of over 900 Conservancy parcels.
His instrumental guidance helped the Conservancy realize projects including the Meyers Visitor Center, Big Meadow Trailhead, and the 1995 updates that transformed the Taylor Creek Visitor Center and its stream profile chamber. The latter project was particularly fitting as Bob had worked on the original project as a young Forest Service engineer in the 1960s.
His leadership in initiating and fostering interagency coalitions such as the Tahoe Re-Green Campaign and the 1997 Presidential Forum brought people together and raised awareness of solutions to create a better community.
After retiring from the Forest Service in 1997, Bob added energy to our office for an additional 16 years through his ongoing involvement and support of the Basins resource planning, protection and management efforts, and through his work with the Tahoe-Baikal Institute.
We will always remember Bob for his wise counsel, his enthusiasm and warmth of character, and his commitment and dedication to the Basin. In addition, Bob made it possible for me to join the Tahoe Baikal journey to Mongolia and Lake Baikal for one of my most enjoyable and exciting journeys to the outside world, thank you Bob! He will be sorely missed.

National no-kill advocate Nathan J. Winograd – who spearheads an ambitious large-scale mission to ensure animals are spared unnecessary euthanasia at animal shelters across the country – had an encouraging message for the Buffalo Niagara region Sunday.
Make no mistake, though – Winograd didn't want his audience of 260 people at the University at Buffalo's Center for the Arts thinking that all animal shelters are on the same page of his program, dubbed "No Kill Equation," which he developed and pioneered. He continues to work at and consult with shelters around the country and world.
In fact, Winograd said a lot of work remains to be done in many areas to knock down the still-staggering number of what he says were 4 million innocent animals that were killed in animal shelters in the United States last year. He insisted that 3.8 million of those animals could have been saved if every community embraced his No-Kill Equation strategy.
"For many animals, yet today, death remains a virtual certainty," Winograd said in a detailed presentation underwritten by Buffalo residents Peter and Ellen Reese, Buffalo Humane and No-Kill Buffalo-Niagara. "In the vast majority of cases, it is not necessary ... Shelter killing should be illegal."
A graduate of Stanford Law School and former corporate attorney and criminal prosecutor, Winograd did not mince words as he outlined the history of humane societies in the United States and the mindset of animal control in the 19th century. "How did we become a network of 3,500 humane (organizations) whose mission started out with compassion and went to euthanasia for animals who are not suffering?" he asked.
"We are still living with a 19th century model of sheltering in the 21st century," he said. "Using a 19th century model of animal control for over 200 years does not work. Shelter directors will tell you they're already doing the program, but they're still killing."
Winograd spoke passionately about animals who can be rehabilitated or placed in new homes without being killed. For years, he said, humane societies blamed animals and even the public for the killings of the millions of animals that were done at shelters yearly.
Winograd played a key role in the turnaround at the San Francisco SPCA, with the organization becoming the first city "no-kill" facility, eventually offering adoptions, foster care, behavior advice and low-cost spayings and neuterings, and even offering to pay pet owners $5 for each animal they brought to be sterilized.
"The deaths of healthy animals fell to a trickle," Winograd recalled. In time, that shelter saved nearly 100 percent of the animals it dealt with – before a new leadership that had different priorities took over and began dismantling the improvements that had been put in place.
"The problem is not that there are too many animals and not enough homes. There are plenty of homes," Winograd said. "Shelters are not keeping them alive long enough to be adopted ... It is up to the shelter whether they live or die."
Among the many detailed suggestions Winograd offered, he emphasized that shelters need to offer on- and off-site adoptions, fostering, taking animals to places where people work, play and live - as well as working with rescue groups and embracing trap-neuter-release programs to help reduce the feral cat population.
Kara Lee, project coordinator of Maddie's Pet Rescue Project in Erie County, said she felt Winograd was on the mark in what he said Sunday. "I was nervous because he can be a polarizing guy," she said. "But I felt like everything he said was very reasonable and rational. When he laid out the No-Kill Equation, I kept thinking, 'Yup, we're doing that and that.' Buffalo seems to be doing much of what he said."
Maddie's pledge is for Erie County to be a no-kill community by Sept. 30.

Two teenage boys were taken in by Santa Barbara Police Monday after a fire along the railroad tracks near Canon Perdido Street.
Investigators say the boys were smoking marijuana and playing with fire, then they left the area.
One was caught quickly by police in the area. The second was located later in the evening after help from eyewitnesses.
No structures were damaged.
"That railroad corridor is always a location where certain types of criminal activity can happen," said Sgt. Riley Harwood.
The fire broke out about 6 p.m. "They just casually began burning limbs, sticks and leaves," said Harwood.
One resident, Zuliana Gan was quick to the scene with a neighbor and helped to stop the fire with dirt. She says teens are often in the area, hanging out around the tracks and the trees. "We don't know what they are doing," said Gan.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE , Calif. — When five o'clock rolls around the dreaded "What's for dinner?" is on everyone's mind. More often than not chicken is the answer to the dinner dilemma. This dinner staple is a favorite for most due to its regular sale prices, consistent results, and ability to be transformed into any dish.
However, chicken also terrifies many home cooks, with fear of salmonella and a dry, flavorless texture. But today, conquer those chicken fears and cook dinner with confidence.
Chicken should be bought from a reputable grocer. To purchase the freshest chicken possible, look for chicken with the newest package date. Avoid chicken that is transparent or dark in color, and has excessive liquid in the package. Once home, refrigerate chicken immediately, storing chicken on the bottom shelf in the coldest part of the refrigerator and using within two days.
If freezing, freeze immediately after purchasing by wrapping individual chicken pieces in freezer paper or aluminum foil before placing in freezer safe zip-top baggies. Chicken should be stored in the coldest part of the freezer and can be kept frozen for up to nine months.
Properly thawing frozen chicken is important for food safety. Never thaw chicken on the counter. Frozen chicken should be thawed in the refrigerator, approximately five hours per pound or overnight. Cooking chicken that is completely thawed will yield best results, as cooking with frozen or slightly frozen chicken will require longer cooking times and can affect the overall outcome of the dish.
While once common practice, it is not necessary to wash chicken prior to cooking. This outdated practice can cause bacteria to splash all over the kitchen. To avoid further spread of bacteria, use a plastic cutting board and other utensil exclusively for raw chicken. Once finished with prep, wash utensils and hands with hot soapy water and use paper towels to clean any spills.
Chicken is a versatile protein, which lends itself to a variety of flavors and cooking techniques. If marinating, marinate chicken in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria. Never baste chicken with marinade raw chicken has touched. Prepare a separate marinate for basting or boil the original marinade for 3-4 minutes to kill bacteria. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees to be cooked thoroughly.
The crock-pot is an easy, fail-proof way to cook chicken. This Santa Fe Chicken uses pantry staples and will become a family favorite.-
Crock-Pot Santa Fe Chicken
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high
Serves: 4-6
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
1 (14.5 ounce can) diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 (15.5 ounce can) black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 (14.5 ounce can) fat-free chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and black pepper, to taste-
Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and black pepper and place in crock-pot. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and pepper.
Serve as desired; over rice or with tortillas, topped with desired toppings such as sour cream, cheese, green onions or fresh cilantro.-

on January 2, 2013 - 12:37 AM
, updated January 2, 2013 at 7:45 AM
You've probably noticed. Beaches are a bit wider. More weeds have sprouted along the bottom.
Boaters have run aground in shallow marinas.
Lakes Erie, Ontario and Superior are below historical averages for December, and Lakes Michigan and Huron are at record lows.
In windy conditions, fierce waves that used to crash over a 12-foot wall onto Route 5 in Hamburg now ripple harmlessly on sand.
Diners at Hoak's Restaurant on Lake Erie in the Town of Hamburg have been telling owner Ed Hoak they've never seen the lake's water so low, revealing large rocks jutting from the sand.
"The wind is blowing hard, and the water's not even touching the wall," Hoak said.
The mild 2011-12 winter that carried over into a summer drought has created lower water levels throughout the Great Lakes system.
In fact, receding waters recently exposed several old shipwrecks in a river that funnels into Lake Michigan.
The low lake levels for Erie and Ontario, though not even close to record-breaking, are making some nervous. That is particularly true in communities such as Olcott and Wilson, which rely heavily on the business of out-of-state boaters and fisherman who launch and dock from local marinas.
Residents of the harbor hamlet of Olcott, along the shores of Lake Ontario, haven't seen the water level this low in years.
"It's the worst I've seen it, and I've lived here my whole life," said Tim Horanburg, Newfane supervisor.
That goes for neighboring Wilson, too.
"We had boats that were sitting in mud as early as the end of August," said Wilson Supervisor Joseph Jastrzemski. "We probably lost two months of the boating season this year, because of the lake levels."
Horanburg and Jastrzemski hope a winter of heavy snowfall, combined with a wet spring, can raise the lake levels enough to keep the tourists coming back.
"Starting in the fall, the lake level really dropped, and we were having trouble getting boats out," Horanburg said. "If it doesn't come up, we're all going to be in trouble in the spring."
Water levels in the Great Lakes fluctuate over the years, based on precipitation patterns, and over the seasons, going up in the spring and down in the fall, said Craig Stow, a senior scientist at the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. The laboratory is one of seven operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Erie and Ontario spiked during a record rainfall in spring 2011, but since then, the waters have continued to recede, as drought conditions plagued much of the United States.
"We have essentially had some very mild winters, so there wasn't much snowpack, and when that happens, you don't get the melting and runoff in the spring," Stow said.
There also has been less ice coverage and more evaporation, because the lakes are generally warmer, he said.
As of Dec. 19, Lake Erie was at 570.3 feet above sea level, which is roughly 6½ inches below the lake's long-term average for December, according to the Army Corps of Engineers. The corps monitors lake levels.
While it's still a good two feet from the record December low set in 1934, the difference has been noticeable this year.
"We had issues at our launch site starting probably last fall," said Mark Clapsadl, field station manager at the Buffalo State College Great Lakes Center. "Now, the water is so low, the ramp just drops right off."
"Normally, we do experience a low, and then it comes back," added Chris Todorov, operations manager of the NFTA Small Boat Harbor, "but we never saw it come back, all season long."
The lower water level means Hoak doesn't need to board up the windows to his restaurant in stormy conditions as often. But Hoak isn't sure the current conditions are out of whack.
He remembers the lake being even lower in the 1960s.
"What's normal? I don't know," he said.
Ontario, meanwhile, is about 10 inches below normal for this time of year; Superior is more than a foot below normal.
"The worst is Michigan and Huron, which is about 2½ feet below the normal average," said Paul Yu, chief of water management for the Army Corps of Engineers in Buffalo.
"The upper lakes have been below normal for quite awhile now," he said.
Will the trend continue?
That's the big question.
In the short term, a good six months of above-normal precipitation will be needed to return lake levels to normal, Yu said.
And based on recent predictions by the Army Corps of Engineers, don't count on that happening. "It would take a massive amount of water," Horanburg said.
The drop in water level is dramatic in spots along Lake Ontario, he said.
Not only is there not enough water coming into the Great Lakes system, but the levels in Ontario are controlled and go down with increased flows through the Moses Saunders Power Dam, near Massena, to generate power and commerce along the St. Lawrence River, Horanburg said.
The buildup of silt in the Olcott and Wilson harbors has made the lower water levels even more noticeable.
One of the private marinas in Wilson lost about $100,000 of business this year because of trouble getting in and out of the harbor, Jastrzemski said.
"They're going elsewhere," he said.
A normal lake level is crucial to the community's tourism industry, he said.
"Our businesses survive and thrive in the summer," Jastrzemski said. "That's what gets them through the lean months in the winter."
Officials in both Newfane and Wilson have been discussing how to come up with the money to dredge their harbors.
Federal money for dredging the Wilson harbor used to be available through discretionary funds from local members of Congress, but those days are gone, Jastrzemski said. The last time the harbor was properly dredged was in 1994, he said.
"It's a real nightmare for us," Horanburg said of the lake levels. "If it keeps going down, it could potentially put us out of business. I'm not sure what we're going to do."

It took eight years, but in 2012, Altoona Regional Health System - created by the 2004 merger of Altoona Hospital and the smaller Bon Secours - closed the Bon Secours campus.
People in Morrisons Cove remember that and don't want a reprise of the Bon Secours shutdown with their little hospital - Nason - as they await the outcome of affiliation talks between Nason and Altoona Regional.
The hospitals announced in August they had signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to "negotiate, discuss and develop an integrated countywide health system" - after nine months of prior talks "exploring potential options for better coordinating healthcare services."

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Denae Imler, LPN, uses an electronic health record system outside a room on Thursday at Nason Hospital in Roaring Spring.
The managerial language may sound reassuring, but Cove residents are worried - and in some cases, unhappy.
"It stinks," said Joleen Hoover of Martinsburg, a nurse at Cove Family Practice in Roaring Spring, of the affiliation effort. "I've yet to talk to someone who thinks it's a good idea."
Clearly, there are some Cove residents who think it's a good idea. But Roaring Spring Borough Council member Kayla Noel isn't among them.
Fact Box
Nason by the numbers
45 beds
335 employees
89 medical staffers
25 average daily census
$16 million annual payroll
2,050 annual admissions
13,500 annual ER visits
36,000 population of primary service area (southern Blair, northern Bedford and western Huntingdon counties)
"If they are going to take away our little Nason Hospital, I won't like it," Noel said.
Jesse Werner is a Tyrone native who works in Spring Plaza, a few blocks from Nason, with Noel.
"They love [that hospital] up there," he said.
One reason is the "hometown feeling" it generates, said Judy Dodson of East Freedom, who also works in Spring Plaza.
"Nine chances out of 10, you go up there, you know the nurse," Dodson said. "Everybody knows somebody."
When she goes to Altoona, she doesn't know anybody, she said.
"I don't deal there any more than I have to," she said.
"A lot of people don't like dealing with Altoona," Hoover said. "The great big hospital."
Nason "is so much more personal," she said.
It's also convenient, said Sherry Nyahay of Martinsburg.
Five minutes to visit a patient, rather than half an hour to go to Altoona, said Nancy Mobley of Roaring Spring.
And when you get to Nason, you just walk down the hall, she said. You don't need to deal with the complexities of big buildings with many floors, remodeled repeatedly over the years.
Then there are the jobs.
Mandy Drysdale of McKee, who works in an office on Route 36, has a daughter who works at Nason. Her daughter is unsure of her future.
"The people that work there have no clue," Drysdale said. "Could be today you have a job, tomorrow you don't."
The potential for job loss also worries Sandra Kane of Duncansville, who works in an insurance office not far from the hospital.
There are also businesses that benefit from Nason.
The Spring House restaurant, a block from Nason, gets hospital employees, visitors and even discharged patients as customers, according to owner Nancy Brumbaugh.
There will be "an outcry" if the community loses the hospital, Werner predicted.
But people like Dodson will be OK with an affiliation, "as long as it doesn't change the good care I get."
The community should have more of a voice in what is happening, according to many.
It would be good to know the pros and cons, Brumbaugh said.
"How do we know whether [affiliation] is good or bad?" she asked rhetorically.
"Why isn't the board asking how the community feels?" Hoover asked rhetorically. "That's our hospital."
There should be public forums to allow for discussion, she said, adding that Nason owes the community transparency.
Hoover thinks "the powers that be" have "scared" the board with select negative data reflective of annual slow periods, she said.
She thinks the board should take a cue from the wall of plaques commemorating numerous donations that have made the hospital what it is and give the community the chance to show that it can fund the hospital without outside help.
Not everyone is enamored with Nason or leery of affiliation with a bigger institution, of course.
Carol Lee Dively of Claysburg sees both sides. An affiliation could give patients access to the best doctors from both Altoona and Nason, she said.
Conversely, it could also create a monopoly in the county, depriving patients of choice, and possibly jacking up costs, she said.
Now, if she were to have a heart problem, she said she could go to Nason, which is closer to her family doctor, or to Altoona, where there may be better heart specialists.
If they combine, she may need to go where they tell her, she said.
As a Highmark health plan subscriber, Dively is also concerned about the potential for problems if Nason, as a partner with Altoona, affiliates with UPMC - with which Altoona has been talking about a larger, regional affiliation.
Highmark and UPMC have been feuding legally for years.
Affiliation will make Nason a better hospital, according to Sharon Detterline of New Enterprise, who works in a store near Martinsburg.
Her husband had a serious medical problem, went to Nason, and Nason transferred him to Altoona, where he got better care, she said. If the Nason and Altoona hospitals affiliate, the same kind of care her husband got at Altoona would be available closer to home, she said.
Affiliation will upgrade Nason, predicted Conner Johnson of Martinsburg, who works in a restaurant in the borough.
The general consensus is that if you have something really wrong with you, you go to Altoona, he said. Linking up with Altoona will provide the smaller hospital with more expertise, so that may no longer be true, he said.
"They need to bring some of these good doctors to Nason," said Karen Musselman of New Enterprise, who works in a discount store in Roaring Spring.
Nason is known as a "Band-Aid station now," she said.
Chelsea Troy of Frosty Hollow thinks joining with Altoona might change the culture at the smaller hospital - which is "its own little world."
"They don't see the bigger picture," she said.
Affiliation might make the smaller hospital "more open-minded about how they treat you" - medically and socially, she said.
She's had bad experiences with the doctors in the Nason emergency room.
You feel like you're a burden," Troy said.
But the majority of residents clearly is protective of the institution.
"It would be a terrible big loss," Dodson said.
Brumbaugh, however, is fatalistic.
"They're going to do what they're going to do," she said.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Congress authorized the FDA to create a new pathway for the approval of copies of next-generation biologic drugs that are already approved and on the market. These copies, called biosimilars, are near-reproductions of a biologic drug, and if manufactured safely they can expand access to life-saving, life-enhancing medicines. However, a small difference in manufacturing process or in the cell line can alter the molecular structure between an original product and its biosimilar copies. Even slight variations could result in serious health implications for patients. So, how would you feel about replacing your drugs with biosimilars?

A group of awesome musicians who play jazz music. Some of the instruments played are: piano, drum set, guitar, bass guitar, trombone, trumpet, alto sax, soprano sax, and tenor sax. Sometimes there is a flute or clarinet. The musicians in a jazz band are usually very comfortable and confident in the music they play.
The jazz band is full of great musicians.

Political Standing for Oct. 26, 2012
Saturday, 7:15 a.m., Political Scoop: My guest this week is Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association. He was in the state Tuesday to campaign for President Obama, Maggie Hassan and himself in the 2016 New Hampshire Primary (oh, am I allowed to say that?) He talked about the prospects for Obama and Hassan, and when asked, he talks about himself and his passion: music. Sorry, but there was no discussion of The Wire. Word is he doesn't like it: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/local/politics/2009/07/the_wire_may_off_the_air_but_o.html
Sunday, 10 a.m., CloseUP: This week, host Josh McElveen previews next week's Granite State Debates with me, NHPR's Josh Rogers, and the Nashua Telegraph's Kevin Landrigan. Then, a debate of sorts over the Income Tax Amendment between Kevin Smith, who for it, and state Rep. Chris Serlin, D-Portsmouth, who is against the amendment.
Monday, 7pm, The Granite State Debates: 1st Congressional District with Republican Frank Guinta and Democrat Carol Shea-Porter.
Tuesday, 7pm, The Granite State Debates: 2nd Congressional District with Republican Charlie Bass and Democrat Annie Kuster.
Thursday, 7pm, The Granite State Debates: New Hampshire Governor with Republican Ovide Lamontagne and Democrat Maggie Hassan.
(Former Union Leader executive Charlie Perkins pointed out this week the next presidential debate is tentatively scheduled for June 2015 on WMUR somewhere in New Hampshire.)
For Those Keeping Track
President Obama trip to Nashua will be his 6th this year and the 10th of his presidency, which surpasses Bill Clinton's 9 trips to the state during his first term.
O'Malley was the first person to arrive at WMUR-TV with advance state troopers since Gov. Rick Perry.
For The Record
Apparently Maggie Hassan's people don't even want their candidate standing next to Ovide Lamontagne these days if it can at all be avoided?
In Case You Missed It
Here is how I see the races for the State Senate as of this week: http://www.wmur.com/political-scoop/Analysis-NH-Senate-rankings-for-Oct-24-2012/-/16254890/17118942/-/103kphtz/-/index.html.
Last week, I asked readers to name the last time New Hampshire had two Democratic U.S. Senators prior to Senators Durkin and McIntyre serving together in the 1970s. The last time that happened was when Durkin served along with Tom McIntyre from 1975 to 1978.
Now, for this week: Speaking of the Clinton visits item above...In June 1995, President Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich shook hands in Claremont promising to work together on a campaign finance reform bill. The "handshake" came about because of a question. Who asked the question?
Be the first to give the answer in an email ( ), and I'll recognize you next week.

Questions For The Weekend
How many more megastorms will John Lynch get while he remains governor?
What is the percentage chance there will be a split screen during the debates with one side showing a strom track?
Did anyone else notice that the governor's race took at nasty turn this week?
Seriously now, did Kelly Ayotte cancel her trip to Indiana or, as Richard Mourdock says, did he cancel her trip out of "professional courtesy?"
At the beginning of the year who would have guessed that it would be Annie Kuster, not Carol Shea-Porter, to be recorded saying, well – you know what she said.
Has Shea-Porter's stealth grassroots effort talked to a single independent voter?
What is up with the $25,000 union endorsement to Maggie Hassan's campaign that wasn't recorded on the union's end? (And given the state's wide open campaign finance laws will it be legal anyway)?
How will Democrats blame Frankenstorm Sandy on Bill O'Brien?
What role is the early voting in other states playing in sending so many surrogates to New Hampshire so late in the game?
What is the percentage chance that New Hampshire becomes the "Florida" of 2012?
How many Granite Staters will be in Boston for Romney's election night and how many will be in New Hampshire?
Can you imagine the outrage if Jack Kimball missed three fundraising deadlines when he was party chair?
If Romney wins who gets a sweeter gig in the next administration: Kelly Ayotte or Judd Gregg?
If you are part of what's left of the local Tea Party movement these days what major candidate are you the most excited to help?
Charlie Bass: Republicans and even neutral observers say Bass is running the race of his life. The question on the lips of many has been, "Where has this Charlie Bass been hiding for so long?"
Maggie Hassan: The narrative flipped this week. Hassan is the frontrunner if you listen to the smart set. She continues to get outside help on the airwaves and she continues to make no news that would change the dynamic. All she has to do is play it safe in the televised debate this week and put herself in the hands of Obama's field operation.
Mitt Romney: From national surveys to campaign internals here in New Hampshire, he has momentum going into the closing days of the campaign. Will President Obama's full court press here be able to blunt what is a Romney surge? Time will tell.
Hardy Macia: One thing New Hampshire will miss after Election Day is his very clever web ads. If only his campaign raised money to air any of them on television…
Jeanne Shaheen: So who knows if she is running again for re-election or if she is going into the Obama administration. It has been noticed that she is making the rounds in the last few weeks like someone trying to get a number of chits.
Ovide Lamontagne: Lamontagne is the man with no pivot. Why is it so hard for Lamontagne to pivot to appear to be more moderate in the general election? Sure, he talks a good game, but then he is hanging out with folks like Mark Steyn less than two weeks before the general election. Who is next? Richard Mourdock?
New Hampshire drivers: Expect the Secret Service to have many roads blocked off between now and November 6. Everyone who gets behind the wheel needs to have a backup route to get where they are going, and all while trying to avoid all the weather!

Cooley Dickinson Hospital's Infection Prevention Department offers the following tips to keep you healthy.
Download the public health fact sheet from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
H1N1 influenza ("swine flu") continues to be found sporadically in the US. So far, however, disease found in the US has generally been mild. Taking common sense precautions is the best way to control the spread of this virus.
There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza. Take these steps to protect your health:
• When you cough or sneeze, cover your nose with a tissue. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If a tissue is not available, cough into the bend in your arm. Clean your hands after you sneeze.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
• If you are ill and believe you have had contact with someone with the flu, or been in an area with known flu such as Mexico, call your primary care physician and stay home from work.
• If you plan to visit someone at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, please review our updated visiting policy.

Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:51 p.m.
Windy Lou, 40, of Houma: My favorite is "A Christmas Story." It has been a Christmas Eve tradition for years now to watch the 24-hour marathon while getting ready for Santa! The movie is special to me because it's a reminder of how simple things used to be.
Jennie Trahan Chauvin, 32, of Raceland: For me it would be "Caillou's Holiday Movie!" You see I have twin girls — Mallory and Macy — that are 3 and love this movie. When I get a chance to watch an adult movie, it would be "A Christmas Story."
Kevin Forshag, 51, of Houma: "Christmas Vacation," by far!
Greg Sapia, 34, of Lockport: My favorite Christmas movie of all time is "A Christmas Story."
Keith Magill, 51, of Houma: I like "A Charlie Brown Christmas," not just because it's a great story, but because the music really captures the spirit of the season. I listen to the record, by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi, every Christmas season. It wouldn't be the same without it. One of my favorite songs from the album is "Skating." Through his piano, you can almost hear the snowflakes falling. Magical.
Jim Beaux, 32, of Des Allemands: Mine would have to be both "Home Alone" movies. Good music and funny characters. Instant classic!
Derrick Ross, 37: My favorite holiday is Christmas. It's the season for many reasons to be thankful cause I know I am very grateful. "Sanford and Son." I can watch this over and over and over again! I've been watching that show since I was 7, and now that I'm 37, the laughs and cries still go on as I watch them over and over again.
Victoria Landry, 28, of Thibodaux: I love "A Christmas Story." I watch that show every year. It's hilarious, and I love "Rudolph" also. It is the cutest show ever.
Brittany Lovell Trainor, 30, of Houma: "Frosty."
Craig Dolese, 26, of Houma: My favorite Christmas movie of all time would have to be "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

Serves 2 |
Prep Time 45 minutes |
Cook Time 5 minutes
1 cup, water
1 1/2 Tbsp Eden Agar Agar Flakes
1/2 tsp Eden Matcha Powdered Green Tea
Place the agar flakes and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium low. Stir occasionally until the agar flakes melt, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool about 5 minutes. Whisk in the matcha.
Instead of whisking and if you have a blender, you can pour the hot liquid into it, pulse several seconds to cool, then add the matcha and blend. Using a blender to mix the matcha dissolves it much more thoroughly than using a whisk.
When the matcha is dissolved in the water, pour into a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator until gelled, about 40 to 45 minutes.

GE Transportation posts record profit in 2012
There's been a slowdown in the mining business and growing competition in the freight locomotive market, but you wouldn't know it to look at GE Transportation's bottom line.
The Erie-based business of the General Electric Co. set new records for both annual profits and revenues in 2012.
Profits, which more than doubled between 2010 and 2011 to $757 million, grew another 36 percent in 2012 to $1 billion.
Revenues -- the company's total sales -- also grew, growing 15 percent to $5.6 billion by year's end.
Those figures were reported Friday as part of the General Electric Co.'s fourth quarter and year-end earnings.
The Connecticut-based conglomerate announced that quarterly earnings rose 13 percent to $4.7 billion. Revenues for the final three months of the year were up 4 percent to $39.3 billion.
Locally, GE Transportation, Erie County's largest employer with about 5,500 local employees, reported that fourth-quarter revenues fell 7 percent to $1.36 billion. But profits grew during that same period, increasing 12 percent to $252 million.
That's all good news to Roger Zaczyk, president of Local 506 of the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers at GE Transportation. He, like many employees, is a stockholder.
But Zaczyk also sees those numbers as evidence that a company can pay union wages and make money.
In other words, he's not convinced the company's success hinges on shifting some operations to lower-paid workers in Fort Worth, Texas.
"We have proven to GE that this plant can make money," he said. "We have made lots of money for the GE Corporation. Yet they are taking that very successful moneymaking operation and moving it to Texas."
The company, which built 650 locomotives in 2012, will begin producing locomotives in Fort Worth early this year. The Texas plant already is producing drive systems for off-highway mining trucks, a product that is also built in Erie.
Zaczyk is among those worried that the company might eventually shift more work to the plant in Texas.
At least for now, however, Zaczyk said work at GE Transportation remains steady, aside from some temporary lack-of-work slowdowns on the mining side of the business.
There's little to suggest an immediate slowdown at GE Transportation, which General Electric Chairman Jeff Immelt honored recently as the company's business of the year in 2012.
In fact, the transportation business booked $1.3 billion in new orders during the fourth quarter.
That's up 7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011.
"Fourth quarter 2012 capped off a very successful year during which GE Transportation delivered record-level revenues," said Lorenzo Simonelli, the company's chief executive. "Looking ahead, our recent strategic acquisitions and substantial investments in technology and new production capacity have positioned us well to continue to deliver value to our customers and for strong operating performance in 2013."
Zaczyk said union members are happy to be part of that success.
"Our people are making money for them and we are proud of that," he said.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Research programs using large compound or sample repositories, such as those prevalent in the drug discovery industry, require efficient management to maximize usability and minimize costs. Such collections can be very diverse, ranging from small molecule chemical reagents to biopharmaceuticals and tissue samples.
As the number, diversity, and size of sample collections around the world continues to swell, the need for dedicated software management tools increases. While large collections provide researchers with more options, the larger and more complex they become, the more difficult it is to ensure that they can be utilized easily and effectively.
In some large pharmaceutical corporations, there is a desire to amalgamate all sample types—be they chemical reagents, drug candidates, bioreagents, or biological samples—into a common framework to reduce overall maintenance and auditing costs.
In the past, many organizations have chosen to set up and maintain their own sample-management software systems. However, this has often proven impractical, inflexible, costly, and resource-intensive. For this reason, many have now turned to outsourced solutions. Titian Software has supplied its Mosaic sample-management system to customers ranging from large pharmaceutical companies to biotech start-ups and CROs whose chemical and biological sample collections typically contain anywhere between 25,000 and 5 million entities.
To meet such a diverse range of needs, sample-management solutions such as Mosaic need to be flexible but powerful. In some cases, samples may be in small collections and require frequent access with minimal automation, whereas others may be in large repositories, stored across multiple sites that span the globe. Therefore, while Mosaic can be integrated with all of the leading providers of automated stores, it also supports manually-accessed storage locations (for example via PDA, Figure 1), or semi-automated retrieval of containers from carousel-based stores.
In one example, a medium-sized biotech company working in small molecule drug discovery decided to implement Mosaic in order to provide its 120 users with easy and reliable access to its compound libraries. Originally, the company had used a basic set-up, designed in-house to track compounds stored in microtiter plates. This had proven difficult to extend, and compounds in individual vials were often lost or otherwise unaccounted for. Therefore, the main aim of the new installation was to ensure that compound delivery would be easy to track, while simultaneously incorporating the management of powders in vials and variable volumes of liquid in microtubes.
By implementing the Mosaic software suite, which was able to easily interface with the company's existing automated hardware, the operational efficiency was increased. To simplify management of the collection, every detail about each plate, well, and sample is stored inside the Mosaic Inventory, and the locations of items are presented in a hierarchical tree (Figure 2). Once Mosaic was in place, compounds were accurately tracked and a thorough audit trail was established.
Organizations often turn to advanced compound-management solutions to increase the speed of compound delivery while reducing the variability between individual shipments to maximize downstream accuracy and repeatability. In one case, a biotech with a constantly evolving library of over 1 million powder and solution stocks chose to implement Mosaic at its compound-storage facilities in order to speed up compound processing and increase quality.
Mosaic enabled the company to establish a new "Express Route" service, capable of providing a four-hour turnaround time for primary assays, and all compound requests are now completed within 24 hours. This was a significant improvement on the seven days it could take to fulfill a request using the company's previous system. Customers of the sample bank also reported an improvement in the quality of the samples supplied to them.
Mosaic helps another of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies to accurately manage its huge collection of samples housed in sites across the globe, including close integration with a wide range of automatic dispensing machinery. These include compact and large-scale automated stores, automated powder dispensing systems, robotic sample processing workstations, acoustic plate well dispensers, plate replicators, and robotic work cells.
This can be achieved because Mosaic has a configurable workflow system that appropriately routes samples for efficient delivery to the recipient. As an example, a compound might need to be dispensed from powder stock (at a Mosaic-managed dispensing station), followed by dissolution and pipetting into an intermediate stock vessel (at a robotic liquid-handling instrument), and then serial dilution into a low-volume microtiter plate.
Users do not need to specify details of how the samples are converted from the stored form (e.g., powder) to the chosen delivery format (e.g., specific form, mass, concentration, and container type), as the preparation steps are automatically managed by Mosaic. This makes it easy for users to order compounds from a complex library without having to worry about the details.
When tubes and plates are shipped from one site to another, Mosaic tracks the shipment and allows users at the receiving site to reconcile the contents of the shipment actually received with the expected contents.
Mosaic can be specifically adapted to meet the needs of different sample collections. For example, in some cases it may be necessary to restrict the ordering of a sample to specific users, limit usage according to recorded consent, or control sample storage location in order to match the required storage conditions.
For this reason, Mosaic supports role-based permissions for users, which can be used in tandem with specific business processes and restriction configurations. This makes it possible to implement the system in environments that work under specific regulations such as 21CFR/11 while providing a thorough audit trail to support compliance.
Mosaic has been deployed in a wide variety of situations, configured to support the needs of various sample collections with their related usage patterns and business rules. Mosaic can improve efficiency, quality, and processing speed by providing a clear, concise and flexible workflow, controlled via an easy-to-use interface. Every step of the process is fully accountable.

It wasn't the type of win that Mark Lewandowski has grown accustomed to in his time at the University at Buffalo. But it gave the former standout at Lancaster High School his 100th collegiate victory Sunday afternoon.
Lewandowski won an 8-5 decision over Casey Fuller at 165 pounds, one of three for the Bulls in a 28-9 loss to 17th-ranked Edinboro.
After scoring a quick takedown, Lewandowski was caught and taken down and ended the first period tied at 3-3.
Lewandowski entered the third period up 4-3 and extended the lead to 5-3 after a quick escape. Fuller scored a tying takedown that also aggravated an injury for Lewandowski, but the senior rebounded with another takedown and earned a point for riding time for the final margin.
"If you relax too much, that's when injuries happen, and even though he was dominating his guy he relaxed and it wound up coming back to hurt him," UB coach Jim Beichner said. "I'm happy and proud of him for getting his 100th career win, but I'm positive that he isn't happy with the way his match went today. You have to look at the milestone as something only eight wrestlers have done in almost 80 years of a program, but we want Mark to improve and leave here as one of the very best ever."
Also winning for the Bulls were Max Soria at 125 pounds and John-Martin Cannon at 174 pounds.

Nothing came easy for prized prospect Tony Sanchez at the Double-A level, but after a season and a half with the Curve, the former first-round draft pick has earned a promotion to Triple-A.
The key word there is earned, manager P.J. Forbes said.
"There was no entitlement here," Forbes said. "He's earned his promotion."
Article Photos
Sanchez learned the news following Sunday night's 2-0 win over Portland at Peoples Natural Gas Field. The charismatic and outgoing 24-year-old catcher at first played coy about the promotion, not letting on he knew anything about it, even though Forbes had told him a few minutes earlier.
"Whenever I get that call, I'll keep doing whatever I'm doing here and do it up in Triple-A," Sanchez, the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2009, said when asked about the possibility of a pending promotion.
It turned out he had already gotten the call, but he wasn't sure if he was at liberty to talk about it yet.
Fact Box
Big strides
Tony Sanchez's numbers with the Curve this season and last:
"Surreal experience, man," Sanchez later said with a big smile. "My first promotion since '09, so I forgot what that feels like. It feels good, and I'm really happy."
Forbes was thrilled to tell Sanchez after managing him for more than three years.
"I've had him since the end of '09, and I told him today it's time to cut the cord," Forbes said. "And I couldn't have been happier than to be able to deliver that message to him that he was going to Triple-A."
The writing was on the wall that Sanchez was getting close to being promoted.
He's been on a tear offensively of late, raising his average from .240 to .277 in the past 13 games. He hasn't hit any home runs but does have 14 doubles, a .370 on-base percentage and .760 OPS.
Sanchez has been much better at the plate this season than in 2011, when he hit just .241 with only 20 extra-base hits in 118 games for the Curve.
The main reason for Sanchez's promotion, however, has been his improved defense.
"This isn't about the offense," Forbes said. "This has nothing to do with how he's swinging the bat. That's just for us a bonus right now. The main thing for us all along has been what he can do being able to handle the staff and gaining their trust, and I believe in my heart that he did that."
Forbes said pitching coach Jeff Johnson, who wasn't available after Sunday's game, also has been impressed with Sanchez's defensive strides.
Sanchez committed seven errors in his first 22 games behind the plate this season, after committing 18 in 2011. He has not committed an error since May 8, however, and has improved in every area behind the plate -- from calling games to throwing out runners.
"He's made some really big strides," Curve pitcher Tim Alderson said. "He's kind of gotten away from calling the college game, if that's what you call it. He's learning to read hitters more and not just get into a sequence, you know, calling breaking balls 0-2. He's really learned a lot."
"He's a great catcher," said pitcher Brandon Cumpton, who threw eight shutout innings Sunday. "Anything he puts down back there, I trust him, I always feel like we're on the same page. He's worked hard for it, he's a great catcher, so I'm sure he's going to have continued success up there."
Sanchez has thrown out only 13 of 49 baserunners (26.5 percent), but stolen bases aren't always the catcher's fault in the minor leagues because pitchers often struggle holding runners close. Sanchez did throw out three runners in a game Tuesday against Richmond.
"It feels like I'm back in my college days where I can throw everybody out," he said. "The pitching staff and [Johnson] have put a huge emphasis on holding runners. ... Everything's coming together now with the pitch calling and the offense and the physical things that I do behind the plate."
In every way, Sanchez is well ahead of where he was as a first-year Double-A player last season.
"Let's say June 3 last year, I probably feel 10 to 20 times better," he said before adding, "It's been a long road of hard work and a huge learning experience."
The Pirates hoped Sanchez someday would be their catcher of the future when they drafted him so high in 2009, and now he's just one step away from the big leagues.
"He's done everything we've asked him to do here, from a professionalism standpoint, from a pitcher-catcher relationship standpoint," Forbes said. "It's been fun for me to watch it this year because it was such a roller coaster last year here."
