A Buffalo man was arrested on felony weapons and other charges early today after Erie County sheriff's deputies said they, along with patrons at a Springville tavern, had to disarm the man of a knife.
Deputies were called to the Southtowner Bar on West Main Street just before 2 a.m. and arrived to find bar patrons pinning down Dylan J. Kelly, 26, according to sheriff's officials.
Deputies said they disarmed Kelly when they arrived.
Kelley is accused of pulling a knife after he was kicked out of the bar, deputies reported.
He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal trespassing, menacing, harassment, disorderly conduct and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Harkin cuts ties with namesake Iowa State center
Sen. Tom Harkin is abandoning plans to donate his papers to a namesake institute at Iowa State University, his alma mater.
Harkin said in a letter Tuesday that he believed Iowa State leaders were trying to restrict the Harkin Institute of Public Policy's ability to conduct some research, which they deny.
He says he agrees with its advisory board that "these proposals have damaged the institute to such an extent that it would never be able to flourish at Iowa State."
Harkin says he and his family will decide where papers covering his 30 years in the Senate and 10 in the House end up. He says he regrets the institute didn't work out.
The withdrawal comes after a power struggle between Harkin supporters and university leaders.

quote: ... that's it? They didn't have a new model in the pipeline for when this one was to sell out? That seems dumb.
quote: Five million Kindle Fire units becomes the first reliable estimate of Kindle sales (based on Apple, Samsung and Amazon supplied information rather than guesses from analysts.)So the question now is whether this is consistent with the hypothesis that the Fire is disrupting the tablet business.Bearing in mind that this 5 million total was reached with prominent placement on Amazon.com and a loss-leading pricing, I would conclude that this is not an auspicious start for a disruptive product.As I argued nearly a year ago, the business model for the Kindle is limited to the footprint of the Amazon franchise, which is small internationally. Amazon itself implicitly admitted that the product was a US-only phenomenon. Further worry comes from the way the company approached production. It was not planning it as a maximization of reach into the market. What they did was order a batch production and then wait for it to be sold through.Perhaps Amazon is being patient for growth, but I don't see a hunger for profit in this strategy. We know that Kindle probably lost money at the price charged. Perhaps it's on the order of $40 per unit. Five million units would imply a charge against the business of $200 million. Did Amazon earn a profit on content sales of $40 on each of those five million units? The margins on content sold through Amazon are so low that I have a hard time imagining that Fire users are that ravenous in their consumption.

Alfalfa, CAFO litigation makes headlines
Alfalfa, CAFO litigation makes headlines
After completing the most comprehensive study on a genetically engineered (GE) crop in the nation's history, the organic community is still not satisfied with USDA's recent decision to make Roundup Ready alfalfa available to the nation's alfalfa growers. So dissatisfied with the decision, a coalition led by the Center for Food Safety (CFS) and Earthjustice filed a new lawsuit against the USDA. Members of the organic farming community now argue that USDA data shows 93 percent of all alfalfa planted by American farmers is grown without the use of any herbicides. With the full deregulation of GE alfalfa, organic supporters argue that up to 23 million more pounds of herbicides will be released into the environment each year.
This is the second such lawsuit challenging the legality of USDA's handling of GE alfalfa. The previous case dates back to 2007. In that case, a federal court ruled that USDA's approval of the GE alfalfa violated environmental laws by failing to analyze risks such as contamination of conventional and organic alfalfa, glyphosate-resistant weeds, and greater use of glyphosate. The case resulted in a four-year study on the issue. For more on the previous decision, go to http://www.hoards.com/?q=blog_RR%20alfalfa
And to learn more about the latest lawsuit, go to: http://bit.ly/Hoards_EPAlawsuit
Meanwhile, in another court case, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled there is no "duty to apply" for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit in the Clean Water Act. The only concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) that have to obtain permits are those that are actually discharging pollutants into U.S. waters. Some are calling this a landmark case that limits the Environmental Protection Agency's rule that requires permits for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
In other words, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot require a CAFO to apply for or obtain a wastewater discharge permit unless there is an actual discharge of pollutants, notes attorneys at Michael Best and Friedrich LLP. The court case was decided following consolidation of multiple charges in no less than six federal courts. To read more about the decision, go to: http://bit.ly/HoardsRR

March 10, 2013/Detroit Free Press
By Patrick Doyle and Doug Rothwell
Michigan's economy is rebounding faster than most other states', but businesses here won't be able to get the high-skilled workers they need unless we commit to making higher education more affordable for more students.
That's true even though data show that Michigan's public universities, as a group, confer the fifth-highest number of degrees and certificates among all states. Even more impressive, Michigan produces the fourth-highest number of degrees and certificates in critical skills areas, including math, science, engineering and technology -- degrees that are needed to fill the high-paying, in-demand jobs that will help Michigan become a top-10 state for job, economic and personal income growth.
A recent study produced by Anderson Economic Group for the University Research Corridor showed that, alone, those three universities -- Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University -- conferred 31,683 graduate and undergraduate degrees in 2011. More than half of those students graduating in 2011 received degrees in high-tech, high-demand and medical fields.
That's an enviable record, and one that puts Michigan's URC schools ahead of the six university innovation clusters, including those in North Carolina and Massachusetts, the URC has benchmarked itself against since 2007, according to the sixth annual URC Economic Impact Report.
But it's not enough to keep Michigan competitive in the future. Michigan is projected to need about 1 million college graduates in the next decade, yet only a quarter of Michigan adults over age 24 held a bachelor's degree or higher in 2008, the most recent data available.
The state has dropped its financial support for higher education by 50% over the last decade when inflation is taken into account, causing tuition to nearly double and forcing many students to take on more debt. We tell our children they need to get a college degree to succeed, yet we're pricing college out of reach of many of them.
The opposite tack has been taken by North Carolina, whose population, per-capita income and overall state spending are nearly identical to Michigan's. North Carolina now spends $2.5 billion to support its higher education system; Michigan spends just $1.1 billion.
The result has been much lower costs for tuition and fees in North Carolina, where a family spends $20,000 less over four years educating a child than a Michigan family spends. North Carolina has made college affordable while Michigan has made it more expensive, shifting the cost from the state to students and their families. That needs to change.
Policymakers have been trying to reverse course. The state's universities have agreed to be measured against metrics based on outcomes. Champions in the Michigan Legislature such as Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker, R-Lawton, have pushed for more funding for the universities if they are efficiently producing the talent pool the state needs and making it more financially accessible for Michigan families.
As a result, last year's higher education budget reflected an increase in higher education funding, and this year's proposed budget continues that trend. While this is positive news, we know there is still more to be done to ensure adequate funding and to truly assist Michigan families.
Business Leaders for Michigan supports increasing funding for universities based on how they perform against their peers nationally. Recently, we launched the Performance Tracker for Public Universities, which allows policymakers, parents and students to evaluate our public universities relative to their peers nationally.
This new tool and the URC's Economic Impact Report show that our public universities stack up well to universities nationally and contribute significantly to our economy.
Word is getting out that, if they want the brightest minds in engineering, biomedicine and alternative energy, businesses need to be in Michigan. Our public universities are committed to producing tens of thousands of graduates in high-demand fields for those businesses to hire, but they can't do it alone. Greater financial commitment must come from the state.
J. Patrick Doyle is president and CEO of Domino's Pizza and chairs Business Leaders for Michigan's task force on higher education. Doug Rothwell is president and CEO of Business Leaders for Michigan

TOLEDO, OHIO -- I bought a used truck and the owner admitted to me that it needed the brakes bled. I took it to Midas on Alexis Road, where I waited for several hours, only to be told they couldn't remove the old, rusty parts to get to the area to bleed the brakes, and that it all needed replaced. The wheel cylinders too, despite the fact it wasn't leaking. The truck had a new brake line, also. My son's Xbox friend told us otherwise, told us that we shouldn't need a wheel cylinder replaced if it's not leaking, and that he was sure the brakes could be bled without all new parts.
At Midas, after the employee got done with all his bologna he told my son, my son told him we didn't have the money for it all, that if we did, we would have to cancel a very, very important upcoming trip. He then replied, "Well, can't you just put it on a credit card or something?" That was his exact words! Like it was no big deal we were about to get ripped off, just pay later!
My son explained we didn't have one. We went to Monro Brakes and Tires, also on Alexis Road, in Toledo, the next week. They agreed it didn't need new wheel cylinders or new parts. They got the brakes bled and even made a few extra adjustments for $80~. My brakes are like new and I'm one happy customer! I will NEVER take a vehicle to Midas again!
THE COLONY, TEXAS -- I bought new tires. After 10 days 2 of them got flat and I went to Midas to change them, there is no way that I buy a tires and after 10 days I should change them. I've called to the customer service. They kept telling me I had to buy warranty, it's unacceptable for me because I bought my tires 10 days ago. How it would happened to 2 of my tires there is something wrong with tires not me. They just sold bad tires and they try to hide it and make money of me. I did paid for new tires 217.00$ and 10 days before that I bought 4 tires 499.00$!!!
MADISON, TENNESSEE -- I took my car to MIDAS for steering components installation. After leaving the shop I went about three miles and the transmission started slipping, smoke coming from under the hood. I pulled over, looked and transmission fluid coming from everywhere.
I called a tow truck had it taken to repair in Gallatin. They found the mechanic carelessly pushed the line going to the transmission out of the way to install the steering part which caused the broken line to the radiator which caused tank of the radiator to crack. The radiator needed to be replaced and fluids to be replaced. The repair was $740 caused by the careless Midas mechanic. Midas denied any responsibility. Although none of these problems were present before Midas service. He offered me $120 toward my $740 dollar repair. I declined and told him I would file in small claims court.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- My husband and I had a situation with our truck, so we took it to Midas on Nolensville Rd. in Nashville, TN and every one of those guys were super friendly and sincere about their work and their customers. They worked diligently on our vehicle but made sure they communicated with us before doing anything to it. They ran into problem after problem and gave us excellent advice because the truck was worse off than we could have imagined.
They did everything they could to fix the problems within our means. We sat there for three hours one day and watched them treat every customer that came through the door with nothing but respect. Robbie and Mike were awesome, along with the rest of the crew. As long as these guys are there, Midas will always have our business.
ALLEN, TEXAS -- After waiting a short time, Alex came to me and said "I want to show you something." He took me to my car and pointed out that "I did not need front brakes or rotors." There was nothing wrong with those brakes. Wow, I cannot remember any auto repair place telling me I did not need something. The other place was going to charge me over $500. I love this place.
I took my car back home, got my other car and immediately brought it in for oil change and tire rotation. Also ask about a noise which we determined was struts going bad but not anything I had to do today. What an experience. This day cost me $56.44, instead of $500+. Recommendation: If you have anything wrong with your car, take the time to go see Alex first as they may be able to repair at a most reasonable cost.
DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS -- I had a problem with my GMC it would stop driving suddenly. First they charge me 200 and they said battery was bad!!! A week later I still have a problem with my car. They said was the alternator and they change it and the problem was still there!!! So that tells you they're bunch of stupid idiots. They're charging people money and they don't know how to do oil change. I advise all people to not go there. Because they don't know what the hell they're doing.
DANBURY, CONNECTICUT -- On my way to work, my car breaks down about a block from the Danbury Connecticut Midas shop located on Main Street. So, I headed to work and I had the car towed to Midas. **, the manager, called me at the office and told me I had a faulty fuel pump. I had Midas replace it. It was replaced the same day. Great!
A few days later I went to get gas and the gas poured out from under the car. The next day, I returned the car to Midas and they repaired the problem the same day. This time they used the BMW original gasket. Great! I went to the gas station that night and gas poured out from under the car. We're talking about flooding the station with gas. Not just a trickle.
The next day I returned the car to Midas and ** promised they would test the tank for leaks before returning it to me. When I picked up the car **, the manager, told me that they had used a special resin to make the seal. (Concerned, I asked and was assured they had not just used silicon. It turned out that it was silicon.) I went for gas a few days later – no leaks. Great!
About a week later, I was on my way to work and as I was approaching the Midas shop, the engine shut down. I steered the car into the Midas driveway and left it. I got the car back that day. I was told that it was a faulty fuel relay switch and they repaired it at no charge. Great!
That Saturday, I headed South on the New Jersey Turnpike with my 14-year old son to visit family. Around exit 12 (about 100 miles from home) the engine shut down and I had to have the car towed to a Pep Boys. (Pep Boys was right off the exit and the only place open the day before Easter.) The next day Pep Boys called me - I had a bad fuel pump, there was silicon around the gasket, and the electrical harness to the fuel pump had been cut and repaired with electrical tape. (PLEASE SEE MY "YELP" COMMENTS ON THE NEW JERSEY CARTERET PEP BOYS FOR THAT FIASCO.)
I borrowed my nephew's truck and returned to Connecticut. I stopped in at Midas the next day to tell ** what had happened and that I expected Midas to reimburse me for the new repair and the towing cost. ** told me that he had to call Pep Boys and that he wanted to see the faulty fuel pump.
A week later, when I was able to pick up my repaired car, I brought the failed fuel pump and copies of my bills into **. He told me he had to send the pump to Midas for testing and I would hear back from them in about a week. My expectations are very low. Tomorrow, Friday, May 9th will be a week. Check back to learn the outcome. Needless to say, I will never go back to Midas. You can make your own decisions/mistakes.
BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA -- Made 1 p.m. appt. Arrived 12:40. They took the next local around me, asking if they wanted a front-end alignment while they were in the alignment bay (I found later, there is only one alignment bay), to which the man answered "no." At 3:00 p.m. my brother arrived to give me & my mother a ride to her house. He let me take his car and he stayed. They were just pulling my vehicle, finally, into the bay when I left. I found later, the woman was the owner's wife, so she knew exactly what she was doing; and had been her business' receptionist at least 25 years.
Complained to Midas (right after the complaint my car quit totally, electrical problem, but from two air sensors being plugged in backward into the idle air control? Something they weren't even working on. May have been in the way for the alignment?) I asked Midas not to give the complaint to the business as it was on the owner. I just asked them to investigate. I asked that maybe they put someone like the lead mechanic in charge, someone who would run it fairly. They GAVE THE COMPLAINT TO THE BUSINESS TO HANDLE, WAS THE email REPLY TO ME.
Midas official called me after I complained again, then said they were calling the woman, and then calling me back. So I guess after they talked to the woman, they took her word for whatever she said. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MY 90-YR OLD MOTHER WITH WALKER AND VERY WEAK, SAT FOR 2 HRS 20 MIN. WHILE for some reason someone chose "they just didn't like me" and would make me wait. We both made the best of the time we had to wait, until over two hours passed.
I went around to the bay to ask why my vehicle was not even yet in the garage. I complained, finally, around to the back area, as I did not want to upset my mom. Everyone arrived in perfect timing, including me, for the alignment bay. Two people were leaving and she could have put the man, who was after me, in either other bays.
Got home with my mom, WHO DOESN'T EVEN FINISH A WHOLE "ENSURE", WHO GULPED IT DOWN WITH HER LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDICATION, AND WOLFED DOWN FOOD I PREPARED QUICKLY FOR HER WHILE SHE WENT TO THE RESTROOM, as she couldn't easily use the restroom at Midas and didn't try.
So later, this woman who purposely left a 90-yr old sitting for over 2 hrs, tried to call me numerous times after my complaint; and every time I hung up without saying a word. I had already told Midas I did not wish to speak to her, or see her ever, when they called. I had to complain to them online again, to ask them to have her stop calling me. I told them I didn't want anything from them, as they obviously didn't want to handle a problem involving the owner, themselves. I never told them about the $400 repair (thank God from my trusted mechanic at Purrfect Auto) that could have cost $1000-$2000 elsewhere on my type veh).
So Midas cost me $400 to replace my idle air control, plus their repair cost, plus a 3-hr wait for the actual repair work with an appointment time (the time they finally released my vehicle) - for which the actual alignment was probably no more than 15 minutes to do - and the unexplainable idle air control sensors being switched into wrong positions, ruining the idle air control. It must have been God that got me home. The next time I drove my vehicle after stopping at home, it quit running just past the security gate exit of my community. Luckily I have towing with my insurance.
THIS WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN I SEE THE SWEET LITTLE MIDAS COMMERCIAL ON TV for the last few days, it angers me. I wouldn't use MIDAS if they were the last repair place on Earth. Especially, you will find IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT AND SEND IT TO THEM, THEY DON'T REALLY LISTEN.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -- I took my car to Midas because I couldn't get in to my regular trusted mechanic for a couple weeks (probably because they are great guys and extremely honest about what you do and don't need). The customer service was fine and they were friendly. That part I have no complaints about.
I was told that I needed a new battery, serpentine belts replaced, cabin filter (you don't even really need this, btw unless you have really bad allergies) and an air filter. I knew I absolutely needed the battery and an oil change so I had them do this. I should have questioned the price but I was at work and in the middle of a million things and wasn't thinking clearly.
I was charged $189.95 for a 25-60 CARQUEST battery plus $15.99 to install it. After getting my serpentine belts and air filter replaced at my regular mechanic today, I asked about the battery price for a comparison. My mechanic showed me where the product number was on the battery so I could look up the CARQUEST price and told me that they get the batteries for $115 and charge $10 to install it. He was right on the money. The battery on the CARQUEST website was $114.99. I can understand a small markup, but Midas is putting a 65% markup on the battery.
I know this is my problem for not being a more informed consumer, and I also know they can charge whatever they want as long as people agree to it. However, I don't appreciate the price gouging and do not plan to take my car back to Midas again. Do yourself a favor and look up the price of parts that they say you need! I will stick with my mechanic from now on. Lesson learned.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I recently bought a 2001 Saturn LS. As I was driving around, the coolant reservoir started boiling over. As it is HOT HOT HOT in San Antonio, and I was in Stop & go traffic, I kind of expected this. But the needle on the temp gauge never went above 1/4. So, I took the car into the Midas on Nacodoches Rd. I told them I wanted an oil change, a diagnosis on the Service engine light, and figure out what was going on with it heating up.
They did the oil change first. Good. But they never put up a new sticker in the window. Then, they did a pressure test on the coolant overflow reservoir. They called me into the bay and told me that the coolant was coming out yellow and that that meant that the coolant was leaking into the block. This of course meant that I would have to replace the engine. They offered to do it for about $1500.
HELLO!!! I just told them that I put in a gallon of anti-freeze. The anti-freeze I used was the new kind that can be used for any vehicle, is pre-diluted, and is GOLDEN YELLOW!!! The mechanic said that he could do a breakdown on the engine to see if I had bent valves, but that would cost about $500 whether the valves were bent or not. I told him that for that kind of money, I would have to think about it. I paid my $177 bill and went to get in my car. Before I left, another mechanic came up to me and said that with all the problems the car had, he could take it off me for $50.
REALLY!?!?! $50 for a car. I couldn't be more insulted if the guy had spit in my face. After I drove off, it occurred to me that they never said anything about the codes for the Service Engine light. I feel SOOOO ripped off. I understand that you can't blame the whole company for the actions of a single franchise, but I keep hearing complaints about Midas. I don't think I will EVER trust ANY Midas again. Sorry for the guys that are honest, but the actions of the crooked speak louder than the words of the honest.

When folks were telling Michael Buttino on Wednesday that they never could have done what he did, he shrugged them off. He had no doubts about helping his wife deliver their sixth baby – in the passenger seat of their Dodge Caravan on the shoulder of the Thruway.
"You're there, it's your wife, what else are you going to do?" he said, matter-of-factly.
Still, Buttino confesses they were caught off guard at their Elma home Tuesday morning when Sarah E. Buttino's contractions quickly became intense. Their baby wasn't due for another week, and while their first was two weeks early, all the rest had all been on time. Looking back, he said, they probably took a little too long packing before they left for Sisters Hospital.
As it happened, Baby No. 6 waited until her parents were near the William Street exit on the Thruway in Cheektowaga before her mother insisted she could go no farther.
"We had already stopped three times," Buttino said. "We stopped on Seneca, we stopped again on Transit and on the 400. The fourth time we stopped, on the 90 East, her water broke."
He called 911, and a calm voice on the other end said an ambulance was on the way, but they should get ready in case the baby couldn't wait.
"And I was not prepared, I just wanted the ambulance," he said. "So, my wife asked, 'Is it OK to push?' and I asked the 911 guy, and he said it was OK, and she pushed and the head came out, and he said I should be ready. She pushed again – and I'm holding the baby, wondering what to do. And that's when the ambulance pulled up."
It was 7:17 a.m.
Buttino, who works as a video- grapher for the Buffalo Bisons, managed to get film of the event after help arrived, but he joked that he may have missed his calling. "I should be a catcher," he said.
More seriously, he said, "God gave me the grace to keep it together when I had to, but I got really emotional afterward."
The couple – actually, all three – arrived at Sisters before Sarah's physician, Dr. Anthony Pivarunas, got there. "He came in and said, 'Are you the guys causing the traffic jam on the Thruway?' " Buttino said.
The doctor had been stuck on the Thruway behind the ambulance and missed another delivery, too. But that mother made it to the hospital before the baby came.
Wednesday evening, while Sarah was considering what to call the 7-pound, 5-ounce baby girl, her husband was with Elijah, 9; Lydia, 7; Siena, 5; Rowan, 3; and Milo, 1 at Ted's Hot Dogs, for a little celebration.
Their sister will have a name, too, by the time she comes home today; they don't let you leave the hospital without one, Buttino said.

WELLSBORO - An American Red Cross volunteer from Tioga and a family from Wellsboro soon will travel to the Jersey Shore and Staten Island area of New York City to assist with recovery for those affected by the devastation of Superstorm Sandy which hit the northeast coast Oct. 29. It left thousands of people homeless and millions without electrical power.
Emmett Clark, of Tioga, a retired project leader in the mechanical engineering support group at Corning Inc., is traveling to the coast to assist with sheltering and distribution of cleaning supplies, said Kathy Stine, emergency services response specialist with the American Red Cross here.
Clark said he won't know exactly where he is going until he gets dispatched.

Beth Peterson, right, brings bags of donated shoes and clothing to Melissa Benner to take to victims of Superstorm Sandy over the weekend.
"I was expecting a call Wednesday, so I am not sure when I will be leaving," he said.
Clark has been trained to be a site manager, in charge of an entire site at a "super shelter."
"They may want me to just assist, or truck cargo back and forth. I am able to do a lot of things for them," he said. Clark said he would be gone for about two weeks.
Clark was trained by the Red Cross managing a shelter so he will be "in charge of the whole building."
"The building owners have an agreement with the Red Cross that we are responsible for what happens in the building," he said.
Clark said he has been a Red Cross volunteer for five years. He's helped with disaster relief and assisted at house fires.
The Benner family, of Wellsboro, also is leaving soon to help Sandy survivors in the Point Pleasant Beach and Brick, N.J., areas.
Melanie Benner has set up collection sites around the borough and at her mother Darlene Webster's house on Pierce Street for people to drop off their donations.
Benner said they are going at the request of Alex and Babette Perednia, who moved to New Jersey about a year ago from Middlebury Center, where he served as pastor of the Baptist church.
They now are at the Laurelton Baptist Church in Brick, she said, where many parishioners are dealing with damaged homes.
According to Benner, the need is for everything, from clothing to bedding to toiletries, bottled water and gasoline.
"We are taking as much gasoline and ice as we can because they just can't find any," she said.
She and husband, Merlin, owner of Wildlife Specialists, Hills Creek Road, another drop-off point, will travel with their teenage sons to do some "chain-sawing" of downed tree limbs and hoped to be there for the weekend. Once they know specifically what people need, they will go back return.
"Our plan is, this is a preliminary trip to drop off stuff, say 'I love you' and chain saw all day," she said.
Anyone wishing to drop off donations for the Benners' trip can do so at the Lighthouse Youth Center, behind the Baptist Church on Central Avenue, or at the Sherwood Motel, she said.
Benner said the Sherwood has donated blankets it no longer uses, and she plans on asking for the same type of donations from other motels and hotels in the area.
"The Scripture says you take care of the Body of Christ first and then they can go and help everyone around them," she said.
According to Stine, the Red Cross is in "great need" of people to become registered as volunteers and be trained so "we can send them out."
"We are very limited in the number of people we can send out. I would really encourage people to consider becoming a Red Cross volunteer. Volunteers would expect to be gone for two to three weeks when deployed, she said.
Anyone wishing to donate for Sandy relief should visit the website at www.redcross.org, contact Stine at 61 Main St., Wellsboro, or call 724-2941.

VIENNA, 7 November 2012 – The Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Kandeh Yumkella, and the Group Chief Executive Officer of Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Serge Schoen, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance the productivity and profitability of agribusinesses in Africa.
"UNIDO has a strong field presence in Africa, delivering technical assistance across the continent to create jobs, increase rural income, improve food security and support the long-term reduction of poverty. It has also developed innovative instruments to engage with private corporations on their core competencies. UNIDO looks forward to a mutually beneficial cooperation with a global leader like Louis Dreyfus Commodities", stated Yumkella during the signature ceremony.
Louis Dreyfus Commodities (LDC) is a global company that produces, processes, merchandises and trades major agricultural commodities.
The MoU establishes an overall framework for cooperation in the field of agro-industry, a focus that aligns well with LDC's commitment to promoting sustainable development.
"We are delighted to be partnering with UNIDO, and see this agreement as a key part of our strategy to expand agricultural production to meet the world's rapidly growing needs", stated Schoen. "Louis Dreyfus Commodities and UNIDO share the same values and objectives, and we both recognize Africa's development as essential for a future food supply for the continent and the world."
The cooperation aims at strengthening value-addition in agro-processing, post-harvest handling, supply chain management and trade promotion of agricultural products in Africa.
The partnership will initially focus on between three and five mature projects where joint action can yield a quick and tangible impact on rural communities. In order to strengthen the weaker links of agribusiness value chains, focus will be placed on: improving the organization of the supply chain, developing necessary skills, improving logistics, quality control and traceability, and introducing modern processing technology to enhance productivity. The target sectors will reflect the major commodities of interest to LDC: grains, oilseeds, cotton and rice.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen felt the energy level last weekend at Mountaineer Field, from his players to the coaching staff to the overall environment, was fairly average last week against Maryland.
"I expect that to be totally different this week," he said, as the Mountaineers play host to Baylor at noon today in what will be the program's long-awaited first league game as a member of the Big 12 conference.
"There's been a lot of anticipation," Holgorsen added. "There will be a lot of eyes on us. We've had that situation. We've got a program that's pretty established, used to being in the national spotlight, used to winning. ... We're looking forward to a very festive and fun Saturday."
They've been playing football at Baylor since 1896. West Virginia started playing with the pigskin five years prior to that. This will be the first meeting between the two schools.
Still, that doesn't mean there won't be some familiarity.
Not only did Holgorsen work with Baylor coach Art Briles, a long-time success in the high school ranks who has translated that to big-time college football, at Texas Tech from 2003, but so did offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh (as a grad assistant). WVU defensive line coach Erik Slaughter worked with Briles from 2003-05 at Houston.
"There are connections all the way through," Briles said. "All of those guys, with Dana leading the way, have always done a great job where they've been. It's no exception now."
Will that familiarity help the Mountaineers?
"It certainly can't hurt," Holgorsen said. "We know them very well. With that said, they know a lot of things we do on all three sides of the ball. They've never been to Morgantown, but that happens all of the time (going on the road to a place you haven't been)."
With all of the big offenses in the Big 12 - and you can count the Bears among those -the potential for a shootout exists each weekend.
"The mentality on defense is to have a short memory," Holgorsen said, "and line up and execute your job on the next play or the next series."
In looking at the Bears, they lost last year's Heisman Trophy winner, Robert Griffin III, to the Washington Redskins, but they're still playing offense at a breakneck pace. In has stepped Nick Florece, who has kept the ship sailing, as he has completed 71 of 110 passes for 1,004 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.
"His actions speak louder than my words," Briles said. "Statistically, he's been very productive. At this stage of the season, we're right where we thought we'd be with him. We think there's still more out there."
Having followed Briles' career and his ability to build - and sustain - a program, Holgorsen is surprised by none of this.
"They lose the Heisman Trophy winner and not miss a beat," Holgorsen said.
The Bears have rushed for 621 yards with Jarred Salubi leading the way with 46 carries for 221 yards and a score.
The leading receivers are Terrance Williams (17 catches, 353 yards, four TDs) and Tevin Reese (15-304-3).
All of those players are upperclassmen.
"They're experienced and been in the same system for four years so it's going to pose some problems," Holgorsen said.
Holgorsen said his knowledge of the way the game's played in the Big 12, along with that of his staff's, will only take the Mountaineers so far.
"Every year is different," he said. "You can try to take some things and learn from it, but ultimately it's preparing the team you have this year and putting those guys in position to make plays."
Briles has never been to Morgantown, but he knows what he's up against.
"Just West Virginia football in general, it's safe to say over the last decade, has been a pretty dominant football program," he said. "And it has not fallen off the last couple of And it has not fallen off the last couple of years since Dana got there."

Where: Summerville High School, 1101 Boone Hill Road.
Larry Hargett, chairman of the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments' board, said he plans to form an ad-hoc committee that will meet with representatives from the S.C. Department of Transportation to explore options besides removing the trees from the I-26 median between Interstate 95 and Summerville.
The Post and Courier has dubbed that stretch of I-26 "the death zone" because of the high number of fatal accidents that have occurred there.
There has been a sustained public outcry to save the trees since the DOT proposed the plan to clear them as a way to make that stretch of road safer. And regional leaders, including U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford and former U.S. Rep. Arthur Ravenel, chimed in at the council's Monday meeting.
The group was weighing in on the controversial plan because a recently approved state budget proviso gave it the right to veto the DOT's plan to clear-cut the median.
State Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Bonneau, has said he worked to get extra review of the DOT's plans inserted into the state budget after he had trouble getting his questions answered.
The DOT is asking citizens to trade beauty for safety, Grooms said Monday. "I reject the all-or-nothing proposal."
Charleston County Council Vice Chairman Elliott Summey said perhaps it's possible to remove only some of the trees and vegetation in the median. That could make the road safer while maintaining green space.
He also suggested that the DOT conduct a "tree survey," to provide regional leaders more detailed information about what's growing in the median.
Sanford said keeping the trees alive along the "gateway to Charleston" is an economic-development issue. "How we look and feel as a region is important to how we sell the region," the former governor said.
He also said other areas are successfully balancing roads and green space, so there is no reason why it can't be done here. There are several green parkways around the Washington, D.C. area where traffic rates are higher and trees are closer to the road than they are on I-26, he said.
Keeping the natural, green look on the road where many tourists enter the Charleston area is important, he said, because it "maintains the goose that's laying the golden egg."
The DOT's $5 million plan would remove the trees, then install cable guardrails in the center of the median after they were gone.
Ravenel, who also is a former state legislator, said the DOT's plan "would look like the access road to Buchenwald."
One of the reasons there are accidents, injuries and fatalities on I-26 is because people drive too fast, he said. "You don't have to drive like a bat outta' hell."
As a member of the state legislature in the 1980s, Ravenel said, he promoted legislation, which eventually passed, to allow trees to grow along interstate highways. The legislation limited mowing to 30 feet from the pavement along interstate highways. The state's highways went from weeds to saplings to the beautiful trees we have now, Ravenel said.
Tony Sheppard, director of traffic engineering for the DOT, cited safety concerns to justify the department's plan to remove the trees.
About 32,500 vehicles travel the stretch each day, and between 2007 and 2011, 44 people were killed and 709 were injured in 1,934 crashes there. Half of the wrecks involved cars running off the road.
Ravenel said the stretch would look barren without the trees. "Everyone I know except my old friends at the DOT like the trees."

Enriching My School District Through My Walden Ed.D.
I'm learning a lot more about research and action research, and how to take best practices and learn more about them. I have the time to study now because I'm in a structured program; then [I] bring those [ideas] back into my classroom, to not just benefit my students, but teachers, as well. For example, professional development is an area that I'm very interested in. Because of my coursework, I can delve into the areas that are interesting to me. Because of that structure, I've had the opportunity to learn a whole lot more and bring it back to the professional development that I lead with other staff. I like to teach them techniques and strategies to work effectively with these kids in the regular classroom setting, which is the best place for them; but it's not fair to just dump them there and not give teachers the tools.
Through Walden, I've had the time to learn best-practice research and bring that to my professional learning community. I feel that I've had the opportunity to bring a lot to my district. I think they're a beneficiary of it also.
We have just two teachers who have doctorates. It's a new thing for teachers to go through this level of education. Typically, just administrators have that; a lot of administrators don't even have that.
I think people look at you with new respect. They want to use that expertise. So they say, "Well, would you lead out on this committee or that," and they really want to hear what you have to say. I work in a supportive school, so the voice of teachers has always been valued, but I think it gives you a little bit more credibility in your own building, as well as with some of the other things I do outside my own school.

Charles Torre, one of the developers who works on Channel 9's code, sat down with Jason Zander, Product Unit Manager of the .NET Common Language Runtime team. Here's the first part of that interview.
"Our team is a cross between compiler geeks and kernel geeks," Zander says in response to "What is the magic of the CLR?"
"We do the rocket science so you don't have to."
Oops, something didn't work.
There's a lot of backup material on my blog.
There is a link to the Headtrax report and more discussion there. There is also
conceptual information on Ngen here as well.
Two pieces of trivia:
1. The white cup on my desk says:
a clever idea that Anthony Moore, BCL dev lead, came up with for our Generics release.
2. On the left speaker is the "Checkin Cartman". During V1 we didn't have great checkin automation (the system rocks now). After a long tree freeze, we'd bring the tree back up for checkins by serializing per dev lead. Only the dev lead with the Cartman could check in.

You are correct compliation is done only on first load, and then only for the methods you actually call. Even so, the time it takes is demonstrably longer than simply paging the existing code in from disk. Ideally, pages are also hot and sharable withother processes. We get our best startup perf through ngen with tuned scenarios (locality of methods). I have a lot of background material on JIT vs ngen and paging on my blog.dudenumber4 wrote:Jason spoke about slow startup times due to JIT compilation and how this is a big target for optimization.. I thought this compilation was done only the first time a new assembly was loaded...? It seems to me to be a negligible issue.

Enroll Now!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
We'll get started with a quick tour of CorelDRAW to see how some of the menus and tools are arranged, and then you'll draw simple shapes with the Smart Drawing tool. Next, we'll explore how to use the Zoom tool, the Pan tool, and the Pick tool. Finally, we'll take some time to talk about vector and bitmap formats. Did you know that CorelDRAW is a vector-based imaging software? It differs from other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, and we'll discuss why.
This lesson is all about the meat and potatoes of CorelDRAW: the shape-creation tools. We'll start with the basics—using the Ellipse tool and the Rectangle tool to draw circles, squares, and rectangles. Then you'll practice using the Polygon tool, the Spiral tool, the Star tool, and the Perfect Shape tool to draw more intricate shapes. Afterward, you'll form your shapes into images using the weld function. Finally, you'll get a chance to practice filling your newly created designs with colors.
We're going to dig a little deeper into CorelDRAW drawing tools as you learn how to create lines. You'll start with the Freehand tool, which simulates drawing with a pen or pencil on a piece of paper, but with an automated twist that makes it much easier to use. Then we'll explore the Outline tools. Outlines are the lines that form and surround shapes and objects, and you'll use the Outline tools to format, shape, and color those same lines. Afterward, we'll move on to curves, and you'll learn how to use the Three-Point Curve tool and the Bézier tool to draw both simple and complex curves. Next, you'll learn about the Artistic Media tool, which enables you to apply effects, styles, and objects to ordinary lines.
We're going to concentrate on layers in this lesson. Layers are invisible planes that contain information about each object. You'll use them to organize, edit, and manage your drawings. Just as shapes are the building blocks of a drawing, layers are the frames that support those building blocks. We'll begin by layering one of your designs from a previous lesson, and then I'll show you how to layer as you draw.
Did you know that CorelDRAW supplies you with a complete desktop publisher? In today's lesson, you'll create a two-page newsletter using this feature. As you assemble your newsletter, you'll also learn how to set up a drawing page with the Page tab, apply and use guidelines, input and import text with the Text tool, and import objects into designs.
We'll continue our discussion about working with text in this lesson, but this time we'll concentrate on artistic text. You'll learn how to shape, form, and adjust artistic text to follow the path of an object or line. You'll also fill objects with color transitions, patterns, textures, and elaborate designs using CorelDRAW fill tools. Then you'll apply what you've learned to create an original logo.
We're going to take it a step further in this lesson by enhancing your designs with special effects. We'll cover techniques such as casting shadows on objects using the Drop Shadow tool. This is an excellent effect to use when you want to add a little realism to your objects. Then you'll learn how to create see-through objects using the Transparency tool. You'll also practice transforming ordinary 2-D shapes into 3-D objects using the Extrusion tool.
In this lesson, you're going to learn how to mold, shape, and adjust your designs using the Knife and Eraser tools and the Smudge and the Roughen Brushes. You'll also get a chance to put all your CorelDRAW skills to work, because we're going to pull together as many different elements as possible from this course and apply them to an apple design. This will give you more insight into how CorelDRAW tools interact while you discover practical applications for these same tools.
Today, we'll continue our exploration of special effects as we discuss PowerClips and the Distort tool. You'll start with the PowerClip effect to contain one object inside of another. This is a great way to incorporate photographs into your designs. Then we'll take some ordinary shapes and completely transform them into amazing objects using the Distort tool. Finally, you'll draw some balloons as you learn how to use the Attributes Eyedropper, which allows you to copy the properties from one object into another object, quickly and with ease.
We'll concentrate on page layout for this lesson. You'll create a custom-designed envelope, business card, and address labels while learning to use the Page Size and Label windows. You'll also explore CorelDRAW templates. Not only will you discover how to choose from the selection of available templates, you'll also create your own stationery template to accompany the envelope, business card, and address labels you just designed. Then, to top it all off, you'll design an original greeting card.
This lesson is all about photographs. You'll start by bringing some life into a dull-looking photo using the Crop tool and the Image Adjustment Lab. Then you'll learn how to change ordinary photos into stunning works of art by applying spectacular effects with 3D, artistic strokes, and abstract patterns. You'll also learn how to convert photographs into sleek designs using the PowerTRACE window.
In our final lesson, you'll design a presentation using drawings you've created throughout this class. Then you'll learn how to export each of the slides from the presentation into different formats. This will enable you to post your designs on the Internet, insert them into electronic documents, or email them to a friend in an easy-to-open format. We'll start by going over the Export window, which converts CorelDRAW designs into various formats and in turn allows you to view and update these same designs using all types of software. Then we'll focus on specific formats, including JPG, PNG, and PDF. Finally, we'll conclude the course by creating an original web page!

"[I think Rudyard Kipling said it best]: If you can [take (*)] one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath [sic (**)] a word about your loss; [then] Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it And - what is more - you'll be a Man, my son!" - Grampa SimpsonI agree with those of you who believe these lines possess metaphorical meaning. After all, the poem rhymes; it seems to me "pitch-and-toss" is included to rhyme with loss. The point in "not breathing a word about your loss" is I think avoiding the urge to complain about it or to dwell on the loss, in which case I agree with GarryHamilton concerning "persistence in the face of bad fortune". I don't think Kipling necessarily intended it to refer to gambling or even to business or material gain but rather to any sort of loss due to misfortune (loss of a loved one, for example). Perhaps JasonAwilliams has a point about it being "the striving that matters", but I get the sense that Kipling might have also been meaning to convey the idea that if you risk all your 'winings' in the hope of acquiring even more, you should be prepared for the consequences should things not go your way. Above, there is an unsigned comment asking "Is this not preaching against the "something for nothing" philosophy that many live by?" that I think hits the nail on the head. People seem to get upset when bad things happen to them and tend to blame others instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions. -- PaulAbrams (*) Replaced 'make' with 'take' because that's how I remember it from the Simpsons. I don't know whether the above lines were quoted from Kipling 100% accurately but it seems unlikely since I think Kipling would not have mis-spelled 'breathe' but I could be wrong.
"Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! "Clearly the Earth and everything in it can belong to no one man; nor would Kipling think that. Rather, I think he meant that once you are in tune with your own beliefs, and live that way every day regardless of outcome, then you can be controlled by no person, place or thing; or the outcomes. If you live true to yourself every day, then you are a Man.

STEUBENVILLE - The Steubenville Big Red boys soccer team may not have finished off as many attack opportunities as it may have liked against Edison Tuesday, but the two goals scored along with a John Paul Duff shut out combined for a 2-0 Big Red win at Harding Stadium.
"We had to spend a week with a bit of a disappointing tie after the first game," said Big Red head coach Greg Bowers. "We moved the ball well during that game, but didn't get on the scoreboard.
"We spent the whole first half trying to get it in today and we finally broke through."

Added Edison head coach Chris Bomley of the game's outcome, "They played hard, we just didn't execute as good as we did in the first two games last week. We have a lot of improvement to do."
Steubenville (1-0-1) controlled a majority of the action in the first half, but Edison goalie Travis Bell and company were up to the task of turning them away.
That is until at the 7:24 mark of the first half when senior striker Brandon Llewellyn made a strong individual move to get past the defense and then sent a beautiful crossing pass to junior midfielder Michael Rosaschi, who put the goal home for the 1-0 Big Red lead.
"Brandon made a great effort on the ball defense, turned the corner, and Mike did a great job of getting a foot on the ball and deflecting it in the goal," said Bowers.
The score stayed that way heading into halftime and through the first 22 and half minutes of the second half.
Jorge Dominguez beat the defense and got a shot off that Bell deflected. Dominguez stayed with the play though, the Wildcats (2-1) failed to clear the ball, and the senior striker punched home the follow up for the 2-0 Steubenville advantage.
"We said until we start moving the ball in our attacking third real well we're going to have to force goals to go in and he did a good job of that today," said Bowers.
It was all defense from there as Big Red claimed the victory.
Edison had a few second half attack opportunities, but Duff was up to the
task each time. The junior netminder turned away six Edison shots on goal.
"We've always played great defense," said Bowers. "We have four good ones back there and a good goalie. As long as we play that kind of defense it's always going to give us a chance."
Bell was strong in the loss for the Wildcats with 16 saves on the evening.
"We have to keep practicing with our defense to get our shots and get them on the goal," said Bomley. "We're not used to this turf. It's faster than we're used to and we just have to practice. That's all we can do is practice hard."
Big Red hosts Weir Thursday.

Great First Car!!!
by Driverrr from Holt, MI | June 2, 2010
I've had my '96 Corsica for nearly 5 years now. It was my first vehicle and I am so happy I chose this. Sure, it may not be as stylish as sport cars, but it is honestly more reliable. Mine has a 3.1 V6 and at 14 years old, it still has a lot of "get up and go" left. A problem that I have notice is that it leaks coolant from time to time. The only other problem was that a belt pulley broke when it had about 135000 miles on it. Both of these problems are known to happen to Corsicas. Other than the 2 problems, it has been WELL worth the money! I paid $1500 for it nearly 5 years ago and have only put about $800 into it. For an older first vehicle, it has been amazing.

Chevy Corsica
by car enthusiast from | April 19, 2010
I have owned a 1996 cheverolet corsica for over four years. The great things about this car is decent gass mileage, an above average 2.2 liter four cylinder, the car comes with an optional 3.1 liter v6. The interior though a little dated at in 1996 was surprisingly comfortable though small. Throughout the years though I have noticed cracked and chiped paint, if not taken care of right away the spots that have chipped paint will rust. The head gasket in the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder tends to blow head gasgets quite often, if you are not a mechanic or have any mechanical abilities the fix could become expensive none the less. Overall I think this car is a modest family car for a 2 kid family but I would be trading it for something bigger in the back seat when the kids grow up. The car will treat you better than most however and will leave you remembering what a great first car that was!

My parents bought this car at an auto auction when this car had 50K miles on it. It saves gas and has great dependability. It was my father's car but now he drives a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic Extended Cab. It's mine and I really like driving it back and forth to work, which is this car's sole purpose.

Best Family Sedan I've EVER seen.
by Chevrolet Rules!!!!!!!!!! from Minburn, IA | May 29, 2008
Best family sedan i've seen in a long time, would be a great car for a 16th birthday present. Fuel friendly, and powerful. And a blast to drive. Very quick exeleration for a front wheel drive 4-door sedan. The V-6 model of the 1996 Chevrolet Corsica will go from 0-to-60 in around 5 seconds. That in my appinion is extremely good for a 3.1 liter V-6 front wheel drive sedan. It handles better than what you would ever think that a 4-door front wheel drive is suppost to handle. The only down side that I have seen about this car is when you put your foot in the gas hard an a wet road!! The tires WILL spin and keep on spinning faster untill you let off of the gas. And is also capable of spinning the tires when on dry pavement too if pushed far enough!!
