CHESTER - Utility giant FirstEnergy Generation Corp. continues to be in violation of federal and state environmental standards in its operation of the Little Blue Run impoundment, a local environmental group that intends to sue FirstEnergy said Thursday.
The Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Integrity Project, on behalf of the local Little Blue Regional Action Group (LBRAG), sent a notice of intent to sue to FirstEnergy - the second one this year - in the wake of new evidence suggesting there are unhealthy levels of pollutants in Mill Creek, which empties into the Ohio River at the border of Hancock County and Beaver County, Pa.
Water samples collected downstream of where water from Little Blue Run enters Mill Creek revealed concentrations of arsenic and other pollutants at levels that exceed state and federal water quality standards, said Lisa Widawsky Hallowell, an attorney for the Environmental Integrity Project.
"The numbers we found for several pollutants ... show that the levels are high enough that they could pose a substantial hazard to human health or the environment in violation of FirstEnergy's NPDES permit," she said. NPDES stands for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, a permit system set up by the Clean Water Act for the regulation of "point sources" of pollution.
The samples, taken by an LBRAG member in October, showed eight instances of pollutants exceeding Pennsylvania water quality criteria, four exceeding federal drinking water standards and three exceeding federal health advisories, the environmental groups said.
The samples were taken from an area known as Outfall 021, which is one of several points along Little Blue Run where water is permitted to leave the facility and discharge into Mill Creek and, ultimately, the Ohio River.
But FirstEnergy spokesman Mark Durbin said the concentrations are in compliance with the utility's NPDES permit. "It's something we do monitor and we have a permit for," he said, noting that samples could not have been obtained without trespassing on FirstEnergy property. "The last time I checked, that was illegal."
Durbin said any discharges from Little Blue Run also are covered by FirstEnergy's consent decree with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PDEP) and will be addressed in a closure plan that must be submitted by March 31, 2013.
The consent decree, filed in July as part of a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, mandates that FirstEnergy close Little Blue Run by the end of 2016, devise a plan to clean up contaminated groundwater surrounding the impoundment, monitor surface water, and pay a penalty of $800,000 to PDEP.
Earlier this week, U.S. District Court Judge Nora Berry Fischer signed an amended consent decree, making it binding on FirstEnergy.
"If they violate the terms of the consent decree, we can tell the judge that they're in violation of this legal document. It has a little more weight," Widawsky Hallowell said.
The amended decree has some added provisions, including one that requires FirstEnergy to submit reports about Little Blue Run's closure to Hancock County commissioners and LBRAG, as well as Greene Township, Pa., trustees.
FirstEnergy has used Little Blue Run since 1974 as a disposal facility for scrubber material - coal ash - from the Bruce Mansfield Plant, the largest coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania. The flue-gas scrubbers and other air pollution controls at the Shippingport, Pa., plant generate coal combustion waste, some of which is thickened into a slurry and sent through a seven-mile pipeline to the impoundment.
Over the years, the coal ash material has accumulated, and the size of the lake has grown. It currently covers about 1,300 acres, straddling the West Virginia-Pennsylvania line. About 40 percent of the impoundment is in Hancock County, just east of Chester.
Hancock County Commissioner Dan Greathouse said he's concerned that FirstEnergy's plan to close Little Blue Run could include the trucking of toxic coal ash material through Hancock County. "It'll be a mess, as well as a health hazard," he said. "We're just concerned that the citizens of Hancock County are protected."
Durbin said FirstEnergy has not announced any plans "of using trucks for the purpose. ... A lot more will be announced when we submit that closure plan. We're looking at a number of things."
Members of LBRAG attended Thursday's county commissioners' meeting to ask commissioners to oppose two pending pieces of legislation in Congress that environmental groups say will make it difficult for the federal government to regulate coal ash impoundments such as Little Blue Run.
"We want the bills to expire," said Lisa Graves-Marcucci, Pennsylvania coordinator of community outreach for the Environmental Integrity Project. "We want to make sure these just wither away and we start fresh in 2013."
The House bill is sponsored by U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-Charleston, while the Senate bill is co-sponsored by West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.
Hancock County commissioners voted 3-0 to oppose the legislation. "We have no problem with the coal industry," Greathouse said. "We just want to make sure" the residents around Little Blue Run are protected.

Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, the former newspaper marketing executive who won high marks for revamping the region's tourism marketing programs, is about to become the highest-profile advocate for the Buffalo Niagara business community.
Gallagher-Cohen will become the new president of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, the area's regional business advocacy group – a role that will make her one of the most prominent women in the area's male-dominated business world.
Gallagher-Cohen, president and chief executive officer of Visit Buffalo Niagara for the past three years, will replace the retiring Andrew J. Rudnick in early June as the leader of the Partnership, which in recent years has taken a more active role in pushing for government reforms and an increased focus from Albany in ways that would benefit the Buffalo Niagara region and upstate New York.
"Dottie brings a lot of energy to an organization," said Gary D. Praetzel, the dean of Niagara University's College of Hospitality and Tourism Management, who also was interim chairman of the former Buffalo Niagara Convention and Visitors Bureau when Gallagher-Cohen was hired.
"Let me put it this way: She's a can-do kind of person," he said.
Gallagher-Cohen said Tuesday that it's a dream job.
"I'm very excited about it," she said after the Partnership board of directors approved her hiring. "For 20 years, I've looked at that position, and Andrew, and said, 'That's a job I'd love to do.' "
The hiring marks a major change for the region's business community. For more than 20 years, Rudnick regularly used his post as a bully pulpit to push for changes in Albany and Washington that would make it easier for upstate companies to do business, through changes in the law and also by working with legislators to help coordinate the region's wish list for projects that require state and federal funding.
While the role could be frustrating because of the difficulty in pushing change through Albany, Rudnick was a consistent voice in developing – and promoting – the region's economic agenda.
Gallagher-Cohen said she expects to continue those efforts, with a greater focus on communicating the Partnership's positions and its services to both its members and the community.
"You've got really good staff doing really good work," she said. "It's really about how do we ramp up the work that's being done now."
Tim Loftis, a local lawyer and chairman of the Partnership, said Gallagher-Cohen was one of five finalists from among more than 200 candidates reviewed by national search firm Korn Ferry. She was the unanimous choice of both the Partnership's 24-person executive committee and its overall membership.
"She's got great presence," Loftis said. "She can walk into a room and command attention. She can be very persuasive."
Rudnick agreed. "I think she brings some extraordinary skills and passion to this job," he said. "She has great communication skills. She loves the area, and she has a strong acumen for marketing."
"She gets things done, and she gets things done in collaboration with other people," said Clotilde Perez-Bode Dedecker, president and chief executive officer of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. "The fact that she's a woman is a bonus."
Gallagher-Cohen took over as the top executive at Visit Buffalo Niagara in January 2010, seven months after former Erie County Executive Chris Collins pushed former long-time local tourism chief Richard Geiger to resign.
Under Gallagher-Cohen, the tourism agency, whose $3.9 million budget is much smaller than the budgets of similar groups in many comparably sized cities, made a major shift in its focus, turning away from broad-based marketing to a more focused initiative that concentrated on cultural tourism, the region's arts, architecture and industrial history, and amateur sports.
"What she did with the CVB was nothing short of transformational," Praetzel said.
The group's new slogan, adopted two years ago, "Buffalo, for Real," was an attempt to market and embrace Buffalo for what it is – a gritty industrial city with architecture, arts and history that can't be found in a modern Sun Belt boom town.
She also pushed for a more concerted local effort to help the steady stream of Canadian shoppers who visit the region's malls become aware of other things to do while they're here.
"She really transformed the CVB. She took an organization that was getting some criticism and completely turned it around," Praetzel said. "The people in the organization were pretty much beaten down. She brought pride back to the CVB."
"She just did a phenomenal job in a short amount of time under some formidable constraints," said Warren T. Colville, publisher of The Buffalo News, who recommended Gallagher-Cohen for the Partnership job and worked closely with her during the 13 years she was the newspaper's senior vice president of marketing.
"She has an amazing network of people – relationships that she's built over the last 25 years," Colville said. "She's going to do a great job for business in Buffalo."
Rudnick said tapping into those relationships will be essential for Gallagher-Cohen in her new role.
"I think utilizing key relationships is going to be critical," he said. "You need to know to whom to go and have enough of a relationship with him or her to get action."
Political advocacy – a big part of the Partnership's role – will be a relatively new focus for Gallagher-Cohen, but Colville said she has shown that she is a quick study. She earned her master's degree in business administration while at The News, where she oversaw the paper's push into the field of digital media.
"When she went to Visit Buffalo Niagara, she didn't have tourism experience, either," Colville said. "I don't think there's anyone I respect more in the Buffalo Niagara market."
Before joining The News, she was executive director of the Kelly for Kids Foundation, marketing manager at Buffalo Place and director of public relations at Erie Community College.
As Rudnick's successor, Gallagher-Cohen will be just the second person to head the Partnership, which was formed in 1992 through the merger of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce and the Rudnick-led Greater Buffalo Development Foundation.

New Windows Azure Command-line Tools for PHP
- Posted: Mar 17, 2010 at 11:54AM
Right click "Save as…"
Craig Kitterman (Sr Technical Evangelist) and Sumit Chawla(Technical PM/Architect) from the Microsoft Interoperability Strategy Team were at MIX10 talking about Windows Azure Interoperability.
Sumit gave a talk ("Building PHP Applications using the Windows Azure Platform") where he announced the new Windows Azure Command-line Tools for PHP Community Technology Preview (CTP). The tools are available under an open source BSD license.
In a nutshell, these tools enable developers to easily package and deploy PHP applications to Windows Azure using a simple command-line tool without any Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This project is actually the result of feedback we received from many PHP developers who are using various IDEs (or none), who told us that a command-line tool would be a great addition to the Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse project.

An Erie, Pa., woman was charged with driving while intoxicated in the Town of Ellery Monday night after State Police were called about someone making too much noise on Greenhurst Avenue.
Jamestown-based Trooper Joseph Krywalski reported observing Natalie Rosario, 19, driving down the road with no headlights on and coming to a stop in the middle of the road.
Rosario was charged with DWI after she failed several field sobriety tests. She also was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana because Krywalski reported finding a gram of marijuana in the back seat of the teen's car.
Rosario was released to a sober relative and faces further proceedings in Ellery Town Court.

Hailed as the "Dickens of the North," Catherine Cookson returned time and time again to the area around the River Tyne in her 100-plus novels. In a writing career that spanned the aftermath of World War II, the rise of the welfare state, second-wave feminism and sexual revolution, and Thatcher's booming Heritage Industry, Cookson used the setting of England's industrial northeast to explore class and gender conflict, and the effects of poverty, illegitimacy, and violence on its men and women. Almost ten years after her death, fans on Cookson websites still claim that her stories of women overcoming hardships saved their lives, and the museum and trails that make up "Cookson Country", luring thousands of tourists a year, attest to her legacy as a champion of women and the working class in England. Yet despite two adoring biographies and an occasional subchapter in literary anthologies, Cookson remains sadly neglected by academics.
Romance scholars typically ignore Cookson, who herself resisted the
label of romance novelist in favor of social historian, while historians are too eager to discredit the accuracy of her largely Victorian settings and plots. It is time to revisit Cookson Country and assess Cookson's legacy as a publishing phenomenon.
This call for papers for an academic volume on Cookson welcomes essays from any disciplinary or theoretical perspective. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
* Cookson as a distinctly "British" novelist
* Representations of femininity, masculinity, and sexuality, especially homosexuality and lesbianism, in Cookson's novels and life
* Cookson Country and the Heritage Industry (includes the museum, trails, on-line websites by and for fans, and TV movie versions of her novels)
* Re-evaluations of her texts: Feminist? Conservative? Subversive?
* Historical fiction or romance—do such labels really matter?
* Re-imagining Victorianism
* Class and gender politics in the historical/romance novel
Detailed abstract and a short CV are due by August 15, 2007. Draft
essays will be due by December 2007. Please send in electronic format as Word attachment to
firstname.lastname@example.com .

STATE COLLEGE - Give new Penn State football coach James Franklin credit for one thing: If he makes a mistake, he'll own up to it.
For instance, Franklin admitted that offering at the press conference introducing him to the Nittany Lion media to blow up balloons at birthday parties probably wasn't the best of judgment.
"Honestly, this morning I was at the Nittany Lion Inn. I got a request on Twitter from somebody to go to the birthday party of a 90-year-old grandparent," Franklin said. "I was at the Nittany Lion Inn this morning singing 'Happy Birthday' to somebody.
"I'm trying to live up to my promises."
That, though, is all part of building relationships, something else for which Franklin deserves credit for doing in his first two months at Penn State. The Nittany Lions' first-year coach was at that again at the Penn Stater on Sunday afternoon, first meeting with the media again and then serving as the featured speaker at the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Football Foundation's 17th annual scholar-athlete banquet.
"It really meant a lot, coming from a guy in that position. It's something good to live by, to build team chemistry and do the best that you can do," said Juniata Valley quarterback Caleb Taylor, one of more than 50 scholastic and college seniors from regional schools who were honored.
Franklin spoke to the gathering about the importance of academics and getting a quality education. He also shared the four pillars he feels are essentially to a great program: a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, a desire to compete in all things and sacrifice.
The Nittany Lion football program, he said, can promote a worthwhile message.
"Our mission is to graduate our players. Our mission is to win a bunch of football games," Franklin said. "But ultimately what we want to do is have a positive impact on this community. I'm talking about this community. I'm talking about this campus. I'm talking about this region. And I'm talking about the state."
To that end, functions like Sunday's are very important.
"[This is] another opportunity for us to get out in the community and interact, shake some hands and get a chance to meet some people," Franklin said. "This is a marriage that makes a lot of sense. We look forward to working with them [the local chapter of the NFF] in the future in any way possible.
"It's about relationships. When you've got great chemistry in any organization, you can do special things," Franklin added.
Franklin has gotten high marks thus far on his ability to build bridges.
"He's just an incredible guy," said Philipsburg-Osceola's Nick Boumerhi, who'll be walking on at Penn State as a place-kicker. "When I went to visit, he was incredibly personable. He acted like he knew you for your whole life. It was like he was a relative. I'm a very big family guy, and for someone to do that in the sense he did meant a lot to me."
Franklin said, though, that building that kind of chemistry with the current team - most of which was recruited by other coaches - still is a work in progress.
"I think the players have great chemistry," Franklin said. "But the players had a bit of a wall up when we first got here, which was natural. For us to get where we want to go, they have to let us in. The players have tremendous chemistry because of everything they've been through. We're still working to build that trust and that chemistry as an entire organization."
Spring practice has given Franklin and his staff and chance to jumpstart that, although he openly wished he had more time to do it.
"I understand why the rules are in place in the NCAA on the amount of time we can be together. It's really not an issue when you've been somewhere two or three years. At that point, [the players] want to get away from you. Right now, when you're trying to build that chemistry and those relationships, you need as much time as you can possibly get with them," Franklin said. "Now that we've been out on the field, it's been great."
Franklin's hiring has been well-received by Nittany Lions football fans like Penn Cambria scholar-athlete award recipient Dante Delerme.
"He's really enthusiastic. I think it's good for Penn State. I think they need someone like this," Delerme said. "Relationships are important. It's more than about winning. I think he understands it."
Delerme and Taylor were two out of nine scholastic players from the Mirror coverage area to be awarded special scholarships, joining Central's Adam Frederick, Bellwood-Antis' Casey Gray, Williamsburg's Austin McMonagle, Moshannon Valley's Kyle O'Donnell, Northern Bedford's Blake Over, Cambria Heights' Isaac Sclesky and Tyrone's Erik Wagner. Altoona's Jared Shope of Juniata and P-O's Zack Czap of Lycoming were among the college scholar-athletes recognized, which also included Penn State's Kyle Baublitz and St. Francis' Kyle Harbridge.
Penn State guard John Urschel was one of two collegiate players to receive special recognition along with Harlon Hill Trophy winner Franklin Quiteh of Bloomsburg.
Former Bloomsburg University coach Danny Hale, Bald Eagle Area trainer Scott Devore and official Dan Leitzell were given the chapter's respective lifetime achievement awards, while Lock Haven radio personality John Lipez was presented the Frank Fisher Award for excellence in sports journalism.

NIAGARA FALLS – An alleged drunken cab driver and his teenage passenger were rushed to Erie County Medical Center early this morning after the taxi rolled over multiple times in the vicinity of 11th Street and Ontario Avenue, authorities said.
City firefighters at Firehouse No. 3, situated at the intersection, provided immediate first aid at the crash, which occurred at about 2:35 a.m., according to investigators.
Daniel Lounsbury, 53, of Niagara Falls, the driver, who was charged with driving while intoxicated, suffered a broken back, arm, leg and nose, according to Amber Keough, a dispatcher for Blue United Taxi.
Police Capt. Salvatore Pino said Lounsbury's nor his 17-year-old female passenger, also of Niagara Falls, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Neither the driver nor the passenger in the taxi was wearing seatbelts, according to Pino.
He said Lounsbury was still in the cab when first responders arrived, which was crushed, and the teen was thrown from the vehicle.
Witnesses and police said Lounsbury appeared intoxicated, which prompted the alcohol-related charge, Pino said.
"He was driving north on 11th Street and he struck a utility pole cutting it in half and then he rolled two or three times and hit a second utility pole and then he rolled onto a front lawn right near the firehouse at 11th and Ontario," the captain said. "The vehicle was completely destroyed. Luckily the firemen were right there within seconds and administered first aid."
Traffic investigation officers are continuing their review and more charges are expected.

Fundraisers for February 3
February 3, 2013
Goodwill in need of donations MARTINSBURG — Horizon Goodwill Industries is urging people to donate gently used clothing and other items to their nearest Goodwill retail store or donation cente....
I've recently seen the back of the goodwill store and there is no way they need donations! There's a mountain of stuff back there as far as the eye can see. Perhaps the salvation army would be a better place to donate.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree with jusayin. The salvation army tries to help people more with the merchandise costing a lot less than Goodwill. And Goodwill always seems to have their warehouse full of stuff. If they were to lower their prices to help people out better more people would shop there and donate more to them. You can go to a dept store and get a clearanced shirt for less than what goodwill charges. And it seems they put the junkie stuff out while the good stuff is still in warehouse. I eould rather find someone I know who can use my old clothes and other stuff than to give to Goodwill.

Beyond Signal Flags: The Hidden Codes of Washington, D.C.
We wrote today on the front page of The Wall Street Journal about the signal flags in front of the U.S. Navy Memorial — which can be read either as "U.S. Navy Memorial" or as a series of codes about icebergs and other dangers. But however you read the flags, they are just one of many sites in the nation's capital containing hidden messages.
Washington is full of hidden messages, from Freemason symbols (like circles inside squares) inlaid into government buildings to secret zodiacs to the more modern puzzles like the Kryptos Sculpture in front of the Central Intelligence Agency, an undulating metal panel with letters and numbers in a seemingly random pattern.
"They are unnoticed by 99.9% of the people who walk by them," said Dan Burstein, who has written about such Washingtonian secret codes in his guides to Dan Brown's thrillers. "People who are smart about puzzles and codes are racing with each other to figure them out, and to find them and identify them."
Kryptos, and the related sculpture outside the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, may be the most prominent example of secret message as art . Three of the four panels of the CIA's Kryptos have been solved, but the message of the entire sculpture remains a mystery.
If the National Park Service wants to fully embrace the Navy Memorial's role of purveyor of secret messages, perhaps it will switch up the signal flags, which day in and day out are flown as U-S-N-A-V-Y-M-E-M-O-R-I-A-L.
It could perhaps take a cue from New York-born artist, Dahlia Elsayed, who uses flag codes for a different purpose: flirty poems.
As one of her verses goes: ZE-PR-PR1-QY.
Translated, Ms. Elsayed's poem reads: "You should come within visual signal distance/ You should keep closer to me/ You should come as near as possible/I wish to anchor at once."
Potentially a more inviting message to Navy Memorial visitors than M-E-M, which translates as "Vomiting is present."

BUILDING STORIES. By Chris Ware. Pantheon. 14 items. $50.
The pictograph, or ancient cartoon, served as a means of communication that transcended time and tribe. It conveyed meaning about the way early humans lived and died, about the natural world and its challenges and about the relationships between the two.
When language eventually came along, it did not replace the image. If anything, it enhanced it. For illustration had evolved enormously and remained a primary method of communication. Illuminations lit up the parchments of ancient texts, and words were added to pictures to ensure clarity.
Modern-day comics really are an extension of this long tradition. Comic strips were a regular feature of newspapers (and still are). With the first comic book came a significant new entertainment industry.
The funnies started getting more serious in the 1960s and 1970s with the appearance of "alternative comics" such as Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor" and R. Crumb's "Zap Comix" and "Fritz the Cat." The evolution continued with the introduction of the "graphic novel," extended comics that assumed many of the characteristics of traditional long-form fiction or storytelling, presented with cinematic flair.
With exceptions, most of this stuff wasn't particularly good. But when Art Spiegelman published his remarkable "Maus" books, beginning in 1986, public perception of the graphic novel's potential irrevocably changed. "Maus" treated a serious subject — the Holocaust — with grace, wit, intelligence and heart. Soon, other artists were permitting their graphic-storytelling ambitions to take form.
Chris Ware, the 45-year-old, Nebraska-born Spiegelman protege, has taken the graphic novel to an unexpected new level. His "Building Stories" is presented as a box set of 14 separate items ranging from a fold-out game board-like panel to accordion foldouts, broadsheets and hardcover books. They can be read in any order, which means the life of the unnamed female protagonist is pieced together slowly by the reader.
Make no mistake, this is a novel first and foremost, though it relies on storytelling that is surprisingly cinematic in its use of visual cues, lighting, perspective and "camera shots." Ware's sense of timing, the rhythm of the frames, is impeccable. And he presents them in sequences (not always horizontal) that keep the storytelling front and center. It engages movie techniques such as occasional close-up shots interspersed among medium and wide shots. He does this in an effort to place us within the mind of his character, to perceive the world as she does and to perceive her in ways that are intimate, respectful and fully realized.
What's more, this expert visual technique serves to set Ware's protagonist in a clear Chicago context that spans time and folds in various relationships and interactions, with parents, a boyfriend, a husband, a daughter, colleagues and schoolmates, space, structures, patterns, ideas and nature.
The language (dialogue, thoughts) is straightforward, but the images are complex, and though they are drawn in stark perspective as if with a protractor and compass, they somehow provide Ware with the objectified context he needs to get so expertly into the head of his lead character. He does not stop short, portraying her emotional, physical and sexual life with a brutal honesty and degree of sensitivity. She grows older before our eyes, coping with all that aging implies.
The narrative is unrelentingly honest, even bleak, portraying an urban woman with a physical disability struggling with her body, her dreams and her heart. In her ordinariness, she is presented as extraordinary: a person with suburban ambitions and a vague sense of history.
Ware introduces us to, among others, her aged landlady, who is desperately holding on to her building, renting its apartments to tenant after tenant. The landlady has a history of her own, of course, and Ware brings it to light as if to show us how we misperceive the world and the people who inhabit it.
The building itself takes on a life of its own. It thinks and feels, stimulated by the activities within: the fighting couple, the family life, the lonely landlady eating her apple slices and thinking of all that's lost to her.
A subplot is offered in the form of "Branford the Best Bee in the World," a thinking creature who flits about searching for the unreachable. Branford serves to emphasize the existential questions presented by "Building Stories" even as his own struggles (with love, family, colony, food) playing out in colorful miniature and providing the reader a small distraction from the main character's daily efforts.
Visually, Ware has taken his geometric style, interest in bold colors, skillful use of light and shade and amazing compositional approach to create something large and profound from its many respective parts. The stories not only build as the reader moves from one item to the next, they are about building: memories, landscapes, relationships, whole lives.
Parts of his "book," 10 years in the making, appeared previously in magazines, which suggests that he has approached this project incrementally, perhaps without fully knowing what the final result would be. The package of 14 distinct pieces certainly has no clear beginning, middle and end. It is a deconstruction of sorts, a narrative conceived in the mind, then pulled apart and distributed. Yet miraculously, there is reason and order and depth and logic to it all.
The drawings may be pristinely architectural, but the story is about as moving and humane as you can get.

What is the purpose of the Bank On A Cure study? Doctors and researchers around the world are united in the opinion that the potential cure for cancer lies somewhere in the better understanding of the genetic makeup of patients. The Bank On A Cure study aims to provide a unique opportunity to develop genetic and clinical correlations that will allow better treatment response and performance, improved treatment choices, and possibly future preventative and curative strategies for patients with multiple myeloma. Who is organizing and funding Bank On A Cure? This project is being organized by the International Myeloma Foundation. The IMF is working closely with two labs, one based in the USA and one based in the UK. The Bank On A Cure study is being funded through generous donations from IMF members and supporters. Who has reviewed this study? This study was designed by a multi-disciplinary team of doctors, researchers, patients, and lay people. It has been reviewed and approved by appropriate ethics committees. Who is taking part in this study? Worldwide, up to 10,000 individual DNA samples will be collected from persons diagnosed with multiple myeloma who fit the entry criteria required to take part in this study. Do I have to take part? No. The decision is entirely yours. If you choose not to take part, this will not affect your current treatment and it will not affect the relationship you have with your doctor. Even if you decide to take part now, you are free to withdraw at any time in the future without giving any reason and again, this will not affect the relationship you have with your medical team. What will happen if I do take part? After you have read all the information you need and have agreed to take part in this study, you will be required to provide a DNA sample derived from a simple mouthwash. If you have already provided a DNA sample as part of another clinical study, you will be required to give consent to allow some of that DNA to be used in this study. Regardless of when you have given your DNA sample, you will be required to complete a simple patient questionnaire. You might be asked to provide follow-up information when required. Your doctor will also receive a questionnaire regarding your medical history and current treatment.
What is being tested? Your DNA will be tested and analyzed to determine the characteristics of the behaviour of a number of specific genes that are known to be implicated in the onset of myeloma and which may influence treatment outcome and performance in individual cases. What are the alternatives? Due to the nature of this type of study and in the absence of a suitable similar or comparative study, there is no alternative. However, this puts the patient at no disadvantage or harm whatsoever, and will not affect treatment in any way. What are the disadvantages of taking part? There are no side effects at all from taking part in this study and there are no disadvantages that have come to light to date. What are the benefits of taking part? As with most studies, results cannot be guaranteed. However, it is hoped that results from this study will allow doctors to tailor treatments specifically to individual patients based on their genetic makeup. This will help to maximize response and outcome and to reduce side effects. It is also hoped that this study will lead to preventative and curative strategies in the not-too-distant future. What if new information becomes available? New information will only add value to this project and will not affect DNA donors in any way. What happens when the research stops? It is hard to predict when a research project like this will stopif ever. DNA banks will provide a continual source of information and it is likely that this type of research will become standard clinical practice and will be integrated into everyday care of patients. Will my taking part in this study be kept confidential? All information that is collected about you during the course of the research will be kept strictly confidential. Any information about you which is used or leaves the hospital will have your name and address removed so that you cannot be identified from it. It is important to understand that specific results and information about your own case will not be available. What will happen to the results? The results of this study will be published in scientific journals and presented at scientific meetings.

A search was under way Saturday after a parolee fled from a vehicle after a traffic stop.
Authorities with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said a deputy pulled over a vehicle for the routine stop Saturday afternoon, when a passenger jumped out of the car and fled into the North Highlands neighborhood.
Investigators said they closed a section of Watt Avenue when the parolee eventually reached a nearby drainage canal and refused to surrender.
A robot was sent into the canal and tear gas was fired, but officials said they were unable to find the parolee.

The Bulls Bay Nature Festival – From the Forest to the Sea was a community event to get people outside to enjoy nature. This inaugural event happened on March 23 in the Francis Marion National Forest on the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, at Camp Sewee, Hampton Plantation State Historic Site and the Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center in Awendaw. Despite the cold, wet weather, more than 200 people of all ages came out to celebrate our unique natural places and abundant wildlife.
Nature enthusiasts accompanied noted ornithologist Dr. Dennis Forsythe to Ion Swamp to catch sight of endangered Red-cockaded woodpeckers and migratory songbirds like Northern Parulas.
Nature Adventure naturalists took folks on a kayak paddle in the Wambaw Creek Wilderness while foresters lead others into a Carolina Bay to see pond cypress, red bay and pitcher plants indicative to this rare forest area. Tim Penninger, local historian, lead a van tour to tell the story of tar kilns, timber operations and civil war batteries in the Francis Marion.
On Cape Romain's Bulls Island, people went on an island auto tour with Coastal Expedition and refuge staff to see the Old Fort, spectacular Boneyard Beach and "gator" ponds known as Alligator Alley. Hampton Plantation state park staff guided visitors through the historic antebellum house and the beautiful plantation gardens.
At Camp Sewee, kids practiced casting bait nets and learned how to catch blue crabs while at the Sewee Center, the kids learned their all-important fishing knots and honed their casting techniques before they dropped their lines into the Sewee Pond to reel in catfish. At the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources simulator fishing van they caught Blue Marlin.
During the archery workshops, children and parents lined up to learn techniques with the bow and arrow and used their newly acquired skills to try and hit the archery targets. Families went on a wetland nature art walk with local watercolor artist Jannah Dupre, wove pieces of sweet grass basketry with Gullah-Geechee artisan Vera Manigault, learned about the endangered red wolves at Sewee, saw venomous snakes like the cottonmouth and diamondback rattle snake at the reptile demonstration, and watched with fascination as the Center for Birds of Prey gave flying demonstrations with raptors.
Lincoln Middle-High School National Art Honor Society students set up a Wildlife Art Exposition to display their winning Junior Duck Stamp artwork as well as other beautiful pieces. The McClellanville Arts Council, photographer Ben Sumrell and local craftsman Brantley Cumbee joined the young artists, showing with their striking natural works of art. Lincoln Middle, St. James Santee and Cape Romain Environmental Education Charter School students in grades 3-5 and 6-8 participated in the festival Wildlife Art Contest. Winners for the 3-5 grades category were Nathaniel Davis firstt place, Grace Fulcinitte second place and Zach Brinson third place. Honorable mention included Jonah Wine, Carlyn Garner, Trinity Avery, Ebony McCormick and Killian Morrison. Winners for the 6-8 grades category were Jalen Smith first place, Javier Randolph second place and Naajai Manigault third place. Kaliah Ragland received honorable mention.
A 2014 wildlife calendar, comprised of the students' winning artwork, will be sold at the Sewee Visitor Center and community schools with proceeds to benefit the school's art programs. The first and second grade students from St. James Santee and CREECS also participated in the festival, giving the Sewee red wolves, previously known as 1703 and 1705, the names of Haley and Sierra.
The day was filled with music as local musicians Kathie Livingston, the Lincoln Steel Band, The After English, Flat City and the Awendaw Community Singers provided great entertainment. The Awendaw Fire Department, Greater Zion AME, Nebo AME, Ocean Grove United Methodist and McClellanville United Methodist churches prepared delicious homemade meals, burgers, hot dogs and desserts and the Sewee to Santee Development Corporation provided beverages and snacks.
Dr. Patrick McMillan, Director of Clemson University Museum of Natural Sciences and host and director of SC ETV's "Expeditions with Patrick McMillan," closed the festival with the keynote, an inspiring presentation on the evolving forces of both nature and man that shape our landscapes.
Fifteen community partners planned the nature festival and include Cape Romain National Wildlife Refige, Francis Marion National Forest, S.C. Department of Natural Resources, The Center for Birds of Prey, Camp Sewee, Clemson Cooperative Extension, Hampton Plantation State Historic Site, SEWEE Association, Sewee to Santee Community Development Corporation, Sewee Outpost, Coastal Expeditions, Nature Adventure Outfitters, Awendaw Green and the Towns of Awendaw and McClellanville.
The partners thank the guides and instructors, volunteers and Lincoln Middle-High School JROTC Sergeant Tinney, Sergeant Kirkland and student members for their invaluable assistance with the festival.

A center on the city's South Side offers instruction in English for those from other countries to help them overcome language barriers.
Founded in 1985, the non-profit organization has 110 foreign-born students who attend classes three days a week as part of an English as a second language program. The center is housed at the John Knox Presbyterian Church on Market Street and originally was part of the International Institute, which closed in 1986.
The center has educators who provide instruction in English to help students enhance their communication skills.
Rosemarie Kascher, an instructor, said there are different teachers for each level. Level 1 is a pre-literacy level for those with little or no English, while Level 6 is the most advanced class with reading, writing, pronunciation, speaking and comprehension.
Kascher, who instructs Level 6, said the program is an affiliate of the Youngstown school's Adult Basic Literacy Education program.
She said when a student first comes to the center, he or she is given a placement test to determine how much English background they have had in order to place them in their appropriate learning level. Kascher said many at the higher levels have college educations from another country.
Fact Box
The English Center, 1806 Market St., Youngstown, is open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. September through June. For information, call 330-743-5767.
Level 6 prepares students for Test of English as a Foreign Language examination given to professional people and students entering the university.
Marcia Kennedy, a student in Level 6 of Cortland from Brazil who previously worked with Swiss Airlines, said she has worked with Youngstown State University and wants to continue improving her English.
"I was speaking English when I was working for Swiss Airlines Company, but after I got married and moved here I realized that I had needed to be able to speak English to get a job and be able to compete in the market. What I have learned has made all the difference for me and made me feel more comfortable," Kennedy said.
She said the atmosphere at the center is one of ''warmth and friendliness'' and like a second home for many of the students.
Kennedy said the center is contacted for assistance by local churches, organizations and area high schools who are sponsoring an individual from other countries.
Kabria of Morocco and a Liberty resident said learning English has helped her to do what others do each day such as pay bills, open an account, help her children and make phone calls.
"One of my neighbors helped me out with my vocabulary so I was able to do more," she said.
Kascher, a retired college instructor, said her parents moved to America and she would not have had the opportunities that she has had without help.
"I am very sympathetic to their needs and what they face,'' she said.
Adelina of Mexico and an Austintown resident said she has an opportunity in America to study and help her child.
"Having done this has helped me like a door was opened for me," she said.
Genne, a Warren resident from Russia, said she came to America nine years ago and had some English but after coming to the center has learned so much more. She said it has made "a huge difference in her life in all aspects from writing and reading." She has taken the exam for citizenship.
Kascher said a free citizenship class will be offered in March at Choffin Career Center.
Yeni, of Honduras and now Youngstown, said her English was limited, so she started at Level 1. She's made it to Level 6, which she said has helped her at work.
"I enjoy my classmates who have helped me," she said.
Kennedy said she learns from her classmates who likewise learn about the similarities and difference from her about different cultures and languages.
Kennedy said she is very grateful for all the assistance she has received and being able to feel more comfortable with the language.
Kascher said the students are all hardworking and often put pressure on themselves.
"I know what their goals are and want them to achieve them,'' she said.
Many of the students have taken English in high school as a foreign language.
"American English is the international language of the world, but it not the official language of the United States,'' Kascher said, noting 320 different languages are spoken in America.
''Language is a unified force which ties people together,'' she said.
Kennedy said the center is like a family.
"All of us share the same experience. We can identify with one another on how we feel," Kennedy said.

The Elma Town Board this week adopted a $7.3 million budget that includes across-the-board salary hikes, projects additional sales tax revenue and reduces the tax rate for special districts while raising it for fire protection.
Board members approved the plan Wednesday night after a public hearing at which no one spoke.
To lower tax rates, the board added $64,920 to sales tax revenue estimates, bringing the total to a little more than $1.9 million. The board used some of this to lower tax rates in the highway, lighting and water districts a total of 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.
The highway tax rate is $4.70, down 2 cents from 2012 and down 7 cents from the tentative budget. It would raise $251,340.
The water budget tax rate is 61 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, down 12 cents from 2012. It would raise $34,953.
The lighting budget tax rate is 52 cents, down 4 cents from this year on a levy of $32,187.
The fire protection district comprises the companies of Jamison, Blossom and Elma and will have a tax rate of $18,32 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, up 42 cents, the same as in the tentative budget.
It's the only area of the budget that will realize a tax increase. It will raise $755,013.
The district provides fire protection for two-thirds of the town. The Spring Brook Fire District makes its own budget and sets its own tax rates.
The budget includes a 3 percent salary increase across the board, with a cap of 50 cents an hour or $1,040.
According to Supervisor Dennis Powers, the special district taxes went down a total 25 percent.
Powers said the town will continue to focus on infrastructure and dedicate funding to road projects.
No major capital improvement projects are planned for 2013 due to the economic downturn. This could change if federal stimulus money becomes available.
Councilman Michael Nolan, who worked on the budget with Powers, called it "a financial plan for the future. The town has no debt and doesn't owe one cent to anyone."
He credited town residents with being the type who "ask what they can do for the town, not what can the town do for me," and cited their willingness to volunteer to coach sports and "drive to the transfer station rather than have garbage pickup" as examples of ways they help keep costs down.
There are no town property taxes in Elma, as revenues offset expenditures for the general fund which supports town buildings, salaries, insurance, the retirement plan and employee benefits.

Pinewood Prep celebrated its second round of athletic signings for the 2012-2013 school year on April 18.
Students, teachers, administrators and family members joined in the school's gym to honor five Pinewood athletes who officially announced their decision to participate with the college sports program of their choice and signed a national letter of intent.
Mollie Polk signed with the USC Aiken women's tennis team. Meagan Evans signed with the Charleston Southern University women's tennis team. Ali Clynes Schmieding signed with the St. Andrew's University equestrian team. Kara Guertin signed with the USC equestrian team. Brianna Boyd signed with the Winthrop University women's basketball team.
"Today we will add to our exceptional list of talented individuals five more student-athletes that have chosen to continue their athletic careers after high school," Pinewood Athletic Director Nancy Beatty said. "The national average is that only two percent of high school athletes win sports scholarships every year at NCAA colleges and universities. Our signing today brings our total of student-athletes signing a NLI to 12 with the possibility of adding a few more before the year is over. That is 18 percent of our senior class receiving athletic money to help attend their institution of choice."
Polk has been a Pinewood student for the past 14 years and a member of the Panther tennis team since she was a fifth-grader.
She was a member of the SCISA Mixed Doubles Championship Team in 2009, 2010 and 2011, member of the All-region Team in 2011 and member of both the All-state Team and All-Lowcountry Team in 2012.
The term tennis all-star has also been synonymous with Evans. She, along with teammate Shauna Fletcher, won the SCISA Girls Double state championship this year. Evans was also a member of the mixed doubles state champion team with Joel Roberts in 2010 and has been named All-State and All-Region each of her varsity years at Pinewood.
In junior tennis, Evans has been ranked as high as third for South Carolina as well as in the Top 100 for the nation. At the age of 14, she won a team tennis nationals title.
Schmieding began riding horses when she was 5 and has participated in competitive horse shows since 2003. In 2007 she was the Western Champion for the South Carolina Pinto Horse Association for ages 13 and under and the Woody Williams Saddle Club Champion. In 2009 she was the Tall Pines Horse Show Circuit Grand Champion.
She has been a member of the Pinewood Equestrian team since its introduction in 2010 and was a member SCISA state runner up team in 2012 and 2013 as well as a National Qualifier for the IEA Zone 4 competitions in 2012 and 2013.
Guertin is also an accomplished equestrian. In 2010 she placed third in Horsemanship at Southern Regionals. At the 2011 IEA Nationals she finished as the Varsity Intermediate Individual Horsemanship Reserve National Champion and Varsity Intermediate Individual Reining Reserve National Champion. At the 2012 IEA Nationals she placed third in Varsity Open Individual Horsemanship. At the 2013 IEA Zone Finals she finished as the Varsity Open High Point Rider.
Boyd only spent a few years at Pinewood, but Beatty says in that time she made a significant impact on the girls' basketball program. She also played competitively with her AAU team.
Boyd finished her basketball career with 1,262 points, 802 rebounds and 194 blocks. She was a member of Pinewood's back-to-back state championship teams in 2012 and 2013 and led Pinewood in scoring her sophomore and junior seasons.
She was a High School Sports Report All-state honoree for 2012 and 2013; Co-Statewide SCISA player of the year for 2012; All-Lowcountry Team member for 2011, 2012 and 2013; MVP for the 2013 Carolina Classic; and the third Lady Panther to meet the 1,000-career-points benchmark.

Bill would allow dogs in outdoor restaurant areas
Service animals -- already allowed -- would be given priority
New Hampshire dog owners who can't stand to be away from their pets may be able to bring their dogs into restaurants' outdoor areas.
The House voted 307-25 Thursday to send the Senate a bill enabling restaurants to allow disciplined and leashed dogs on their patios and outdoor areas. Some restaurant owners already allow dogs on their patios, and local code enforcement people generally turn a blind eye.
Some had questioned if the proposal might jeopardize the rights of people with disabilities who rely on service animals. To assuage those fears, the bill requires a sign to be prominently displayed in the outdoor area stating that those with service animals have priority if the dogs can't share the space peacefully.

The American Civil War of a century ago has never completely faded into history.
It might even be said, as Andrew O'Hehir argues HERE, that the old Civil War has morphed into a new one:
The new Civil War is not entirely or even principally about race, although there�s no mistaking its pernicious racial component. Even making allowances for Bobby Jindal and Allen West, the neo-Confederate forces are perhaps 99 percent white, in a nation whose fastest-growing demographic groups are neither white nor black. While the issues of the new Civil War are contemporary, its rhetoric is ancient and ...

Don't Let Mylar Balloons Ruin the Party
If you celebrate with Mylar balloons, remember to keep them tethered at all times and dispose of them properly. Proper handling and disposal keeps them from drifting into power lines and causing a power outage.
When a Mylar balloon touches a power line or floats into substation equipment, their metallic properties cause a surge of electricity. This can cause equipment to short circuit and lead to power outages, fires and
Each year, hundreds of thousands of consumers experience power outages caused by Mylar balloons contacting electrical equipment. To reduce these outages and help keep customers' lights on, keep the following tips in mind:
Always assume power lines are live, and keep yourself, your equipment and all other items at least 10 feet away from power lines.

Funeral plans finalized for Galt Officer Kevin Tonn
Tonn was 35
More details were released Friday on the remembrance services set for slain Galt Officer Kevin Tonn.
The 35-year-old was killed in the line of duty earlier this week. He was with the Galt Police Department for more than three years.

NASA Quest Challenges
What are they?
The content of NASA Quest Challenges follows real NASA tasks with the goal of involving young people in developing tomorrow's solutions, while inspiring them towards careers in science and engineering. As students work in teams to mirror NASA career roles, agency experts are available to answer questions and to encourage a proper design process. The interaction with scientists occurs via Q&A, chats, interactive Webcasts, and posted feedback on the Web site.
Typically, each scholastic year offers one or two NASA Quest Challenges each of which typically spans six to eight weeks. The activities are designed around problem-based learning and crafted to assist teachers with the incorporation of the content into their educational standard's requirements.
A typical challenge begins with students receiving a question relating to an actual NASA mission. Students work on preliminary solutions, based on research, as NASA experts provide "real time" critiquing. Final designs are developed after student obtain constructive feedback and encouragement. Both student work and parallel projects at NASA are featured in a live Webcast.
For information on technical requirements and instructions on how to participate in Web events see our "How to" Page.
