ALBANY – A day after he was sharply criticized by a top adviser to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, State Sen. Mark Grisanti is standing down in his rebuke of a costly contract to re-do state driver's licenses.
In unusually harsh criticism by the Cuomo administration directed at the Buffalo Republican who has otherwise enjoyed warm relations with the governor, Howard Glaser, the governor's state operations director, on Thursday lashed out at Grisanti – as well as State Sen. Tim Kennedy of Buffalo – and suggested their ideas for the license contract could "sacrifice New Yorkers' security."
On Friday afternoon, the senator put out a written statement saying that the Department of Motor Vehicles had provided him with more information about the pending contract, and he is now comfortable that the new license contract will accomplish the goal of making licenses more secure and also will meet federal and Canadian rules for border crossings.
"I also believe it is important for New York to develop the capacity of New York businesses to compete for New York State contracts, a goal the administration shares and on which we will continue to work together,'' Grisanti said.
In response, Glaser said, "While no New York State companies sought to bid on the secure card contract, we encourage all New York companies to bid on state contracts and look forward to working with Sen. Grisanti to further develop the capacity of New York State business to successfully compete for New York State contracts.''
Grisanti and Kennedy are among several lawmakers who criticized the DMV contract with CBN Secure Technologies, a Canadian company, to redesign New York's driver's licenses for $88 million – double the second nearest bidder. Other bidders, and lawmakers including Grisanti, raised questions about the way the bidding process was conducted.
The Cuomo administration, known for not being shy in response to even mild criticism, shot back Thursday with a statement by Glaser that left lawmakers in both parties scratching their heads over its intensity.
"Apparently Senators Grisanti and Kennedy would rather have the low bidders – all from out of state – produce a license that can easily be altered by a terrorist, ID thief or, for that matter, any 18-year-old with an X-Acto knife who wants to go to a bar," Glaser said in a written statement Thursday. "The selected bid is a solid polycarbonate card impervious to alteration and it costs a little more per card. The senators should get their facts right, and decide whether they really want to sacrifice New Yorkers' security to the lowest bidder."
That the Cuomo administration launched the rhetorical bomb against Grisanti, in particular, was noted by Democrats and Republicans on Thursday – especially after the governor has offered nothing but praise for Grisanti, particularly after he broke from his party's ranks last year to back Cuomo's legislation legalizing same-sex marriages.
Cuomo did not directly endorse Grisanti in his recent re-election bid, but he did approve new legislative district lines earlier this year that made Grisanti's victory come easier. Cuomo's image – seen hugging the senator at an event – was also used in heavily run television ads by Grisanti this fall.
Grisanti wasn't alone in backing down on Friday.
The New York State Association of Convenience Stores, which on Thursday joined the chorus of critics over the new license plan, backtracked after meeting with DMV officials Friday for a demonstration of the new license program. In a letter to DMV officials, obtained by The Buffalo News, James Calvin, the group's executive director, called the new license plan "extraordinary." A day earlier, Calvin's group expressed worries that the new licenses could make it easier for underage children to obtain alcohol and cigarettes at convenience stores.
In his letter Friday, Calvin said he wished the new licenses would not feature black-and-white photographs, but said he understands the technology is not yet possible with the new licenses because of a laser-etching process that will be used to print them.
Kennedy was unavailable to comment Friday.

University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly runs a shotgun, no-huddle, fast-paced, spread offense.
Do not, however, call it a finesse offense.
Oregon has ranked among the top six in the nation in rushing each of his four years as the Ducks' head coach.
Kelly's distinctive offense could be headed for the NFL. The Buffalo Bills are scheduled to meet with Kelly today, according to a source close to the Oregon coach. Cleveland and Philadelphia also are scheduled to meet with Kelly, according to USA Today.
Oregon made its fourth straight trip to a Bowl Championship Series game Thursday night when it defeated Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, 35-17.
The ability of Kelly's offense to succeed at the pro level has been debated for more than a year, since he was considered for the Tampa Bay head coaching job last season.
Kelly is 45-7 in four years at Oregon. His offense has averaged 48 points per game over the past three seasons. Oregon ranked No. 2 in college football in scoring this year, No. 3 last year and No. 1 in 2010. The Ducks averaged 323 yards per game rushing this season.
Kelly was asked at a news conference on Wednesday in Phoenix whether his offense can adapt to the NFL.
"I don't think anybody knows any answers until someone does it," Kelly said. "But I think the Washington Redskins are doing a pretty good job with – I forgot the name of their quarterback."
Kelly was making a joking reference to Washington's Robert Griffin III.
"The kid at Carolina has done a pretty good job," Kelly said, referring to Cam Newton.
"You've got to have good players," Kelly said. "Sometimes the coaching aspect is way overrated. … Your job as a coach very simply is to put your players in position where they can make plays and get out of the way and let 'em go make them."
The Buffalo Bills' defense was burned this season by Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson running read-option running plays. Griffin and Newton run them, too.
Wilson took a shotgun snap, read the defense, and either handed off to running back Marshawn Lynch up the middle or pulled it out of Lynch's belly and kept it himself for a sprint off tackle. Or he pulled the ball out of Lynch's belly and dropped back for a pass.
That's a staple of Kelly's offense.
Oregon typically only uses four running plays – an inside zone-blocking run, the outside zone play, a counter, and a draw play. A counter is when a guard pulls to lead the running back through the hole. The back takes a fake step one way, then goes in the other direction, behind his blocker. It was Thurman Thomas' staple play.
There always has been concern among NFL executives about whether a quarterback can hold up under the physical demands of an option-run attack.
However, Kelly's offense doesn't necessarily require the quarterback to be an elite runner. He just needs to be a decent athlete and have the threat of the QB run on the defenders' minds. In 2011, Oregon averaged 299 yards a game rushing. But quarterback Darron Thomas only rushed 56 times in 13 games. Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick rushed 48 times (mostly on scrambles) in 16 games this season.
Oregon has overwhelmed its conference opponents with speed. A running back like the Bills' C.J. Spiller would be ideal in Kelly's offense.
Oregon's passing game uses a lot of quick throws and receiver screens to stretch the defense horizontally. When it works, that opens things up for passes down the field. That's similar to Chan Gailey's attack in Buffalo. It's just that Gailey wasn't often successful when he tried to stretch the field.
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy told reporters Thursday he has head-coaching interviews lined up in Denver this weekend. Sources in Denver say the Bills and Arizona Cardinals will talk to him Saturday and the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Meanwhile, a league source said the Bills will interview recently fired Chicago coach Lovie Smith. The date was uncertain.

Stetson Lacrosse is here. It was been a long time in the making, but on Sunday, February 10, the Stetson lacrosse program played its first game. After a reception for the inaugural team at the new Athletic Training Center, and a presentation of the First Game Ball by University President Dr. Wendy Libby and Director of Athletics Jeff Altier, the Hatters (0-1) fell 16-3 to Liberty (1-0).
The result may not have been exactly what Stetson was looking for, but the momentous occasion was enough to create excitement for everyone involved with Stetson Athletics, as well as all of those fans watching at the Athletic Training Center or online.
"The feeling was great," Assistant Coach Brittany Dipper said of being a part of the first game. "We had a great turn out from fans. The girls were really excited. They started in the locker room, it continued onto the field, and they were very proud of themselves and the program. It was just an awesome feeling all around."
If the energy before the contest even began wasn't high enough, two momentous plays less than 10 minutes into the game cemented the day as one to remember. When Liberty was awarded a free position attempt less than a minute and a half into the game, the Flames' shot attempt was stopped by Stetson's Whitney Meyers, recording the first ever save in Hatter history.
The two teams battled back-and-forth before Stetson made history once again. It was the Hatters gaining the advantage on a free position this time, and Melanie Fredericks put her name in the record books by capitalizing on the opportunity and scoring the first goal in Stetson Lacrosse history. Her score put the Hatters up 1-0 with 20:55 to play in the first half.
"Everyone was really happy," Fredericks said of scoring the first goal. "I thought my teammates were going to knock me over. I think they actually did. [This first game] is a start, we just have to build off of it, and we'll see where the season takes us."
Liberty countered with a goal of its own less than a minute later, and went on to score five straight to take a 5-1 lead with under 10 minutes to play in the first half. It was then Samantha Akl's turn to put the Hatters on the board. The sophomore scored with 3:25 remaining in the period to cut the Flames' lead to three, at 5-2. One minute later Liberty countered with a goal to take a 6-2 lead into halftime.
The Hatters came out of the break energized, and it was once again Akl finding the back, scoring on a free position to cut the Liberty lead to 6-3. The Flames, who were picked to finish fifth in the Big South this season, rattled off 10 straight goals to end the game, and leave DeLand with the 16-3 victory.
Liberty outshot Stetson 31-21 in the game, and recorded 17 ground balls to the Hatters' 12. Each team turned the ball over 15 times in the contest. The Flames won 13 draw controls and Stetson earned just seven.
Meyers finished the contest with 10 saves, while Liberty's Kristen Masullo totaled 14 in the victory. Akl and Fredericks scored for the Hatters, and it was Jen Freymond leading the Flames with four goals in the win. Morgan Becker added three goals and an assist, and Sam Struss tallied two goals and three assists.
"We definitely found out some of our strengths and some of our weaknesses this game," Akl said. "In the upcoming week I definitely think we're going to be working on capitalizing on our strengths and focusing on our weaknesses."
Stetson will be back in action on Sunday, Feb. 17, hosting San Diego State at the Athletic Training Center. The game is scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m. and will be streamed live on GoHatters.com.

Four BQA Awards Presented
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Two producers were honored with the checkoff's annual national Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) award and Dairy Beef Quality Assurance (DBQA) award, created to recognize outstanding beef and dairy producers from across the country who incorporate BQA principles as part of the day-to-day activities on their operations. One individual was also recognized with the BQA Marketer Award, and one individual received the BQA Educator Award.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Bo Obama Featured in White House Christmas Decorations
The Portuguese Water Dog helped his Mom unveil the Christmas decor that will deck the halls of the Washington, D.C., manor this season and he's even featured prominently in the estate's adornments.
In the East Garden Room, which was decorated with children in mind, a life-size replica of Bo greets visitors, and "Bo-flakes" hang from the trees. Forty such ornaments are scattered throughout the White House, and an edible Bo also stands guard in front of the gingerbread house located in the State Dining Room.
"Bo is kind of big, don't you think?" Mrs. Obama joked in her remarks. "That basically represents Bo's standing in the house. He is almost as big as the house. He is such a huge personality."
The First Dog even helped inspect the decorations prior to their unveiling. Check out his tour below:

This product could be good however it only contains 40mg of caffeine per serving, not 200mg as stated. Myprotein need to amend this asap as many more people will buy this and not get what they paid for.
The product overview needs to be changed to reflect the product as each serving contains 40mg of caffeine and not 200mg as stated. Product works ok, the amount of caffeine gives a very slight boost and doesn't have the comedown of a lot of preworkouts, however it doesn't last long I think in the future I will be purchasing something with a bit more caffeine as I small doses don't really do much for me. Though for people who it does affect I'm sure this product would be perfect!Goes Well With:Motivation
Activate gives you a boost prior to training and helps to keep focus not unlike a preworkout but without the awful feeling afterwards...... would recommend immensely
Did not deliver as promised. Felt a little bit more alert after taking a pill and the effect didn't last very long.
I found this to be effective to add a bit of a boost to my lifts and fitness sessions. Doesn't give the same buzz as some other products but is still effective. I felt I needed a higher dose to get the best results but still effective. Doesn't taste too great but not awful easy to wash down with a bit of water
Amazing stuff. No bad crash. I ran about 30 mins longer than I normally would and felt great. Ordered another 2 tubs to always have them in stock! I wouldn't always use them though, only when needed :) 10/10Goes Well With:Endurance exercise
My 1st review. Had to be done. Beat a record in long distance running and didn't wanna stop even then. Felt amazing no crash or bad effects. GET THIS.Goes Well With:You choose
I got the product as I was needing an extra boost in the gym but this doesn't really help me I feel a very slight increase in energy but I have given my friend some before and he said they were amazing and went and purchased some himself so I don't know if it's just that my body isn't very good at absorbing things or if the product ain't very good.
I've tried various caffeine based energy boosters in the past and never really felt any different. I took two tablets as advised 30 minutes before doing my workout in the house and Jesus Christ I was pumped up. Can honestly say I noticed a huge difference in how pumped up I was. I was bouncing about like I'd been on the double vodka red bull and jaeger bombs all night! I worked out for two hours and didn't feel any drop of motivation, didn't feel lethargic between sets or like I couldn't be bothered. Just to clarify I'm not saying these made me stronger, they just woke me/pumped me up so I felt like I had the energy to push harder. I don't recommend you take them after like 6pm as I took them at 7:30pm and I was still pumped laying in bed gone 12 and couldn't sleep. Some people say these tablets are like a placebo effect and some people rage about them to justify a bad purchase but I can honestly say I noticed a difference. I'm always skeptical reading other people's reviews as everyone is different. When I usually do my workout I always complete it but I usually get the "I can't be bothered" feeling between sets. I didn't have that softer taking these it turned to "I'm gonna try to get a few more to tire myself out", and that is worth it's weight in gold. Hopefully it isn't just a one hit wonder and if I get that kind of experience every time I take them then I shall be buying these on a regular basis. Apart from the not sleeping I didn't have a comedown.
I wanted this Activate as physically I didn't feel fatigued, my muscles were fine to go but I always felt I was dropping short of how many reps I could actually do each set just because I felt tired and couldn't be bothered to lift anymore. The caffeine completely gets rid of this problem, my productivity has near doubled and I'm lifting more, harder, for longer and still have energy to do cardio etc. at the end of my work out. This is exactly what I needed, it gives you the push to drive you through your workout (do not take it too close to bedtime). One word of warning for creatine users - there is one study that shows caffeine pills can negate effects of the creatine if taken daily, so do some research before buying! Goes Well With:Gym sessions after work
Bought this product merely out of wanting to try something to give me a bit of a boost for those early gym sessions. Activate is perfect for exactly that. I wake up an hour before leaving for the gym and take 1 capsule 30 mins before and I am awake and alert without any other effects associated with Pre-workouts. What's even better is that I do not get a sudden loss of energy that you would assume - it really does wear off without even noticing! I take 1 tablet 30-45 mins before an early morning session, along with a protein/oat breakfast shake (using MP True Whey and Instant oats) and around 2g of creatine tablets and I have had tremendous gains and improvements in my gym regime aswell as a good level of energy throughout the day!Goes Well With:protein/oat breakfast shake, creatine
Activate is a brilliant product, I take 2 tablets 15 minutes before a work out, it doesn't give me the tingles that most pre-workout drinks do. But it does raise my energy and concentration levels enough to get my workout done. I will definitely buy it again.Goes Well With:Creatine
I have been using Activate for a while now. I prefer it to some of the more intense and other hardcore products out there. It just wakes me up a little before a session and helps me without giving me a crazy buzz or anything. I take it about 30 minutes before working out. It's quite popular and at times is out of stock so I suggest getting a bigger bottle of the stuff if you like it.
Activate is a great product to use after a hard day's work. It really gives me that get up and go feeling to push myself at the gym, as before hand I'm usually feeling fatigued after a physical day at work.
Activate gives a good boost in the morning if you don't have time for coffee.
The Activate really work well. I will buy more as they are very good.
I had been lagging in my work outs but 2 of these pills 30 minutes prior working out really gave me great focus and prolonged energy. It's not over the top like some other stimulants though I wouldn't take it 6 hours prior to bed as you may find it difficult to sleep. Goes Well With:Creatine Monohydrate Taurine
I took one Activate roughly a half hour before my workout. It gets me through it easily. I have happily pushed a couple of hours with these.
"This is a great product and I would recommend taking when you need that boost of energy. I agree with other reviews saying the price is fantastic and much cheaper than an energy drink. The caffeine effect is fine and I would recommend to anyone who is sensitive to caffeine as you don't get a weird feeling like other products that are loaded with caffeine/taurine/sugar and I personally don't get a crash off these, which is great. I only use when low on energy as I don't like forcing myself to the gym as I'll just go through the motions. Also the recommend does is 2 tablets, which is 200mg, I only use 1 tablet which works just as well, for me anyway, others might be different. Hope this helps. Side note, I've taken at 5:30-6pm before a football session and didn't have trouble sleeping, as drinking a redbull at that time I would struggle to sleep (I'm sensitive to caffeine). "
"I tried the recommended 2 capsules for the first time today, when I played a full 80 minute rugby match. During the game, I noticed an improvement in my performance, and felt that I worked harder than usual. The problem came after the game when I was in the clubhouse. I had a huge low and felt very light-headed when standing up. This resolved after downing a redbull but worried me slightly. I have used caffeine pills in the past and not had this problem, although my performance didn't increase as much as with this product. A good product, but maybe only take 1 tablet for the first few uses."
"If you're looking for pure energy and focus, no bullcrap pseudo science ingredients, this supplement is perfect. I only take 1 tablet and get a great effect, really motivates me to push into those forced reps in the gym. And to be honest the value is superb, a serving is far cheaper than an energy drink and more effective in every way."
Probably not the most common use but was massively struggling with a hang over with a full hockey match to play. Took a serving 30 minutes before and helped massively to get my energy levels and focus up. Can't wait to use them fresh and in the gym!
"Very good energy booster!! Activate gives a nice boost which is'nt super strong and makes you twitchy and sweaty like others, with to much caffine in. It has the right balance of ingredients, to give you a good focus when training, especially when doing cardio work like running, I can also push out an extra couple of reps on the weights as well! A very good product all in all. Very impressed for the price!"
Good for boosting energy and focus before mental or physical exercises. They seem to kick in when you begin the workout and definitely help me to do extra sets. Fast delivery as usuall. Recommended.
"Excellent product this, took it before my last two hour long spins, definitely noticed increase in stamina and power output, today I took it with another 200mg caffeine tablet, did get a stitch after 15 minutes which is unusual on the bike, but then it went, not sure if it was related to this though. All in all this product is excellent."
"wow this really works. im a pole dancer doing advanced moves that require a phenomenal amount of strength, accuracy and technique and this product really helps co ordinate my muscles and my brain to work at the same time! i saw definite improvement in over all energy levels and technique. would definitely recommend"
Just Brilliant! Always works well without feeling wired. Use code **CODE REMOVED** for 10%!
This product is really good and was delivered super fast A+++++++++
"It was chest and back for me this morning, and to be honest I was tired and didn't want to doit.\nI had taken two of these about 30 mins before workout, and didn't think they would do much till I started training.\nThen they kicked in big time, and honestly had one of the best workouts in a long time. They work guys."
these work like a charm. I work out earlier in the morning so i need something to give me that kick up the rear. I have 2 caps before my working and they give me a real boost and make me alert. They make me train harder as well. Super quick delivery as well. Impressed.\r\n\r\n
Always work well when playing. Far better than Viper pills. Really effective.

It appears the NHL and its players' association may have found a negotiating tactic that actually works.
With union counsel Steve Fehr calling it the best day they've had so far, six owners and 18 players, including Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, met twice Tuesday in New York. The sides made progress toward a long-awaited collective bargaining agreement, but they cautioned there's a lot of work to be done before the lockout can end.
The negotiators, who wrapped up at midnight, will gather again this morning prior to an NHL board of governors meeting.
"I think everybody wants to get a deal done, so I think that's encouraging," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told reporters during a joint news conference with Fehr.
Tuesday's meetings were different in that the leaders of the parties, Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr, were on the sidelines while new faces participated.
Four owners - Pittsburgh's Ronald Burkle, Winnipeg's Mark Chipman, Toronto's Larry Tanenbaum and Tampa Bay's Jeffery Vinik - sat down for the first time, joining regular league negotiators Jeremy Jacobs of Boston and Murray Edwards of Calgary.
The union elected to use all 18 players who traveled to New York after initially being expected to counter with six. Among those sitting alongside Miller were Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Phoenix's Shane Doan, Chicago's Jonathan Toews, Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis and the New York Rangers' Brad Richards.`
The sides gathered at 2 p.m. and met for 5½ hours before breaking for dinner. They reconvened shortly after 10 p.m. for a two-hour session.
Though details were kept quiet, multiple reports said the Penguins' Burkle played an integral role during the meetings, which featured full-party discussions and smaller gatherings.
Burkle, whose team is a Stanley Cup contender with Crosby as its captain, would likely push for a season to be played.
It would seem Vinik, who oversees an aging Tampa squad featuring St. Louis, and Chipman, whose team has played just one season in Winnipeg, also would prefer seeing the puck drop.
Jacobs, the Buffalo native who owns Delaware North Cos., has repeatedly been portrayed as a hard-liner who has pushed for a knockout of the players' association.
Jacobs is also the chairman of the board of governors, which will meet at 11 this morning. The Sabres are expected to take three spots at the table. Owner Terry Pegula, President Ted Black and General Manager Darcy Regier will attend.
Bettman is scheduled to hold a 1 p.m. news conference following the board meeting.
The lockout has been in effect since Sept. 16 and has wiped out all games through Dec. 14. More cancellations are expected this week if the sides fail to complete a CBA.
Meanwhile, a Canadian Press report said businesses near NHL arenas in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal have taken as much as a 35 percent hit due to the lockout.

|Work with Biological Materials
A complete Experiment Safety Sheet (ESS) is required before work can be done at the ALS. This ESS is either a part of the proposal process or may be completed as an independent document. In the ESS, identify each material (including all biological materials) with which you will be working. The regulatory oversight for biological work is very complicated and we need to understand the risk levels involved with the material you plan to use at the ALS, whether they are materials of biological origin (e.g., organisms, cells, viruses), plant or soil samples (USDA quarantines), recombinant DNA, or blood-borne pathogen.
Biological Use Authorization
All resident LBNL users (those whose work authorization includes a JHA) must take the standard LBNL training courses for biological safety: (1) EHS0739 Biosafety Training and (2) EHS0730 Medical/Biohazardous Training. However, non-resident users (those whose work does not require use of the ALS Biology Lab) can receive credit for this standard training by going through an orientation given by the BPM. This orientation includes all of the relevant parts of the standard training, but focuses on just those elements relevant to users. This is typically done as part of the ESS review and takes just a few extra minutes.
Bio Lab
Complex biological work, or work with toxic or large quantities of biological material will usually be performed in our Bio Lab where fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, incubators, etc. are available. There is a standard training and orientation procedure that must be completed to obtain access to this space. A more detailed work description will be needed to review and approve work there. See the ALS User Biology Program ISM Plan for more information.
There is very limited storage space for biological material, and in general ALS does not store biological materials after the user experiments have been conducted. However, if you have a substantial reason for storing materials for a limited period of time, please consult the BPM. In limited cases with a strong justification materials may be stored, but they will have strict labeling and deadlines associated with them.
It is preferred that you return your materials to your home institution. Contact Experiment Coordination (ext. 7222) for assistance in preparing them for transport. All standard rules for shipping materials to the ALS apply to their return. If you must dispose of hazardous materials, this must be arranged before the user run begins, and be reviewed and approved as part of the ESS process.
Before beginning work with hazardous materials, you should familiarize yourself with the LBNL Emergency Response Guide flipchart. Location-specific copies are posted on bulletin boards around the ALS floor.
If any spill results in an emergency, call the Lab's emergency number directly (ext. 7911). All spills should be reported to the Control Room (ext. 4969). Until help arrives, follow the SWIMS guidelines:
For more information, contact the ALS EHS Program Manager (ext. 4499) or the User Biology Laboratory Program Manager (ext. 6568).

Dorchester District Two board members plan to submit a written letter opposing a beer and wine license that is being obtained by the convenience store Mia Quickstop, located across the street from Alston Middle School on W. 5th North Street.
Chairwoman Gail Hughes presented the case to board members during their board meeting June 23.
I feel we just need to tell them what our concerns are, she said. I think its important that we speak out.
The store has recently been the focus of surrounding neighbors, who have banned together to petition against the owners attempt to obtain a beer and wine license. Neighbors are being led by Louis Smith, founder of the Community Resource Center, who addressed the school board on June 9 to express concerns about having a store sell beer and wine that close to school grounds.
Smith had argued that middle school students are impressionable and having a convenience store that sells beer and wine right across the street from a middle school creates a bad image.
Smith reported that he and other concerned neighbors were in the process of gathering signatures in protest. Their goal was 250 signatures, and they had already accumulated nearly half that by the time of the June 9 board meeting.
After the most recent board meeting, Superintendent Joe Pye said board members feel an obligation to the residents who live around Alston Middle.
We are trying to have a community concept, he said. If this is their wish, this is also our wish.
Pye said it is not just concerns with students finding ways to obtain alcohol, but also to keep it off school grounds.
We dont need adults loitering around the schools, drinking, he said. I think we need to stand up and be heard.

Paramedic Joshua Martens, 30, of North Charleston has been with Dorchester County EMS for four years.
Before that he built boats for five years.
"I worked for Scout Boats and then the economy went bad and I got laid off," he says. "I was at the Dog & Duck with a friend and I saw an ambulance go by. My friend said I couldn't do it."
So, of course, Martens had to prove him wrong. The next day he looked into it and next thing he knew he was off to school and, "here I am."
Born in Japan, Martens has lived the somewhat nomadic life of a "military brat." "I grew up in Jefferson, Indiana and graduated high school there," he says, "and I have lived in Kentucky, Virginia, D.C., Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina."
He graduated from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor's degree in Math after three years. "After three years I wanted a break and I had enough credits (from high school) to graduate."
He then moved to S.C. and began working with his hands in construction, building houses. He then got himself an Associate's Degree in Massage Therapy.
"Originally I wanted to be an architect.
"I like learning and I might go back to school…I love medicine so I might go for Physician's Assistant or nursing."
Medical school is not in his equation…"I am too old to start that trip!"
About EMS, he says, there is nothing like it. "It is always different, always changing, there's a problem that needs to be solved so you take the patient's signs and symptoms together and come up with a solution.
"I also like the people. And their gratitude for our help…it's a feeling you get like nothing else I have done."
Next summer he is planning to take a critical care class and become critical care certified. This will open up other opportunities for him such as becoming a flight medic which he finds really exciting.
He tries to "drown out the bad calls, like bad pediatric calls" which, he says, "are never easy for anyone."
There are a lot of best moments though…"anytime you can really help someone…that's a good call."
Martens says the real perks are the people you meet. "I met a gentleman who was in the bombing of Pearl Harbor and then fought in the Battle of Midway…you meet people from everywhere and hear amazing stories."
When he's not in an ambulance, he's spending time with his dog Brutus…a mutt.
He enjoys soccer and plays with the Charleston Soccer League and around Summerville.
He goes Kayak fishing at least once a week, he says.
"I like anything outdoors…rock climbing, mountain biking, although he notes it is really rock wall climbing as there are no mountains in the Lowcountry. And he really likes cooking. "I never get any complaints," he says. "But I don't bake … not big on sweets but I like Italian and grilling.
"I really love the Summerville and Charleston area. It's a good outdoor life…you can enjoy the outdoors year round."
He is very close to his family and says, "I can't imagine living too far away from them…ever."
Although he only recently moved to Summerville, his aunt and uncle have lived here his whole life.
"I used to spend my summers here as a kid, back when Summerville was small and a kid could ride his bike everywhere…it was great."

A serial bank robber may have struck yet again.
On Saturday, Albuquerque police released surveillance pictures of a man who robbed a Walgreens at gunpoint in Old Town on Thursday afternoon.
FBI agents said the Walgreens robber has similarities to a bank robber that is responsible for five bank robberies this month.
"If it should happen to be the same person who is robbing these banks, he seems to be showing more brazen behavior," FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said.
The FBI is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the robber's arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 889-1300.

How many times have you wanted to send a project to a friend or upload it to a web site like MSDN Code Gallery only to find that your zip file has lots of stuff that you don't need to send in it making the file larger than it needs to be.
And then if you forget about removing Source Control bindings whoever gets your project will be prompted about that. As someone who does this process a great deal I decided to share with you my code for cleaning a project.
In this episode, I'll share with you CleanProject, the utility I created to help me solve this problem.

Oops, something didn't work.
Neat. However, I was thinking that maybe /Y would be a better switch than /Q ? The same way copy and xcopy use it.
@Andrew_Morton:Good point... perhaps I'll add that
Hi Ron, Nice tool. Many versions of it has been made by many people over the years including me :)
But then back in 2009 I made an even better way for VS2008. A zipper called solzip that also removes source control bindings and packs your code in a convenient zip file by using a right click menu in the solution explorer. Extremely convenient.
Inspired by your effort. I finally got around to updating it for VS2010. Thank you for that kick in the ... :)
You can find it in the Extension Manager in VS2010 or at http://solzip.codeplex.com
I also provide a commandline an even an edition for GAX factories.

Position Statement 43: The Federal Role in Services that Address the Health and Wellness of Children, Youth, and Families
With the recent understanding that prevention and promotion programs can be effective in reducing the prevalence of mental health and substance use conditions in American society,(1) it is important for the federal government to support comprehensive prevention, promotion, and early intervention(2) activities to address the behavioral health needs of young people and their families. In addition to increasing the behavioral health interventions needed to improve child welfare and education,(3) reflecting the growing intergovernmental partnership to improve young people's opportunities throughout the United States, behavioral health promotion and services and prevention of mental health and substance use conditions should be fully integrated with federal health care reform under the Affordable Care Act. Prevention and timely treatment can be effective in alleviating the distress experienced by young people and their families in coping with mental health and substance use conditions. (4)
The federal role must be shared among many federal agencies, including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and Justice. Among other things, federal programs have stimulated great improvements in nutrition, literacy, school-based programs, youth development, immunization, substance abuse treatment and prevention, education, delinquency prevention, primary and behavioral healthcare, early childhood development, housing, employment and training. Mental Health America (MHA) urges Congress to spare these programs from cuts to the extent possible.
A nurturing, supportive family unit, whether traditional or non-traditional, offers young people an environment conducive to healthy development and emotional well-being. However, as the United States recovers gradually from the Great Recession of 2008, many families face unprecedented challenges to their health, wellness, economic stability, housing, safety, and transportation. These issues, combined with limited access to social services, put many young people at risk for the development of general or behavioral health problems. Without support, young people with mental health and substance use conditions are particularly vulnerable to developing problems at home, in school, with their peers, and within the broader community.
These factors can test the fortitude and resiliency of any family, and for those experiencing behavioral health crises, these challenges can, at times, seem insurmountable. For lgbtqqiap teens (a more comprehensive acronym than lgbt which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, ally, and pansexual) and young people and families of color, the challenges are even more difficult. Stresses and confusion are pronounced in young people who are coming to terms with a stigmatized sexual orientation and considering coming out. Studies show a strong correlation between gay, lesbian or bisexual sexual identity and the risk of suicide.(5)
According to the Institutes of Medicine, families of color often have unequal access to health care treatment.(6) Disparities in health care have become more significant as the ethnic demographics of the United States have continued to evolve. Issues of sexual orientation, color, race and ethnicity pose a challenge for the federal government to lead, in partnership with the states, efforts to develop and implement culturally and linguistically competent programs that promote the health, safety and wellness of young people and their families and deal directly with the stresses of homophobia and racism that continue to plague American society.
Federal agencies increasingly support initiatives to improve cross-agency collaboration, and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act has required new levels of cooperation.(7) MHA applauds these efforts as well as the increased recognition of health promotion and wellness as a priority area of focus as the need to manage medical interventions becomes more and more pressing. MHA believes that interagency collaboration and service integration are essential elements to address the health and well-being of young people and their families, particularly individuals with multiple needs requiring the attention of several agencies.
Call to Action
MHA supports federal leadership in the following areas:
- Bringing greater visibility to the behavioral health and wellness needs of America's young people and their families;
- Including families as partners in the design, development, planning, and evaluation of services developed or promoted by federal agencies;
- Educating the general public about the mental health conditions that affect young people, suicide prevention, maternal depression, strategies for recovery, and effective mental health and substance abuse services;
- Supporting wellness, prevention, promotion and early identification programs;
- Integrating behavioral health promotion and services with federal health care reform under the Affordable Care Act.
- Promoting inter- and intra-agency coordination, collaboration, service integration, and the development of comprehensive national cross-agency initiatives to improve the behavioral health and wellness of America's young people and their families;
- Financing initiatives that allow states and communities to develop and implement community-based, culturally and linguistically competent primary and behavioral health, substance abuse, prevention, promotion and treatment services for all young people and families;
- Building the capacity of states and communities to achieve health and wellness for young people and their families through knowledge dissemination, technical assistance, web-based technology, and targeted discretionary grant programs, including an expanded mental health block grant program;
- Expanding research on prevention and promotion, the efficacy of treatment and service delivery methods, and evaluation of promising practices;
- Giving attention to practices that show promise in meeting the needs of specific populations (rural/urban, race/culture, age/developmental stage) of young people and families;
- Encouraging and supporting state efforts to collect data on the mental health needs of young people in federally-assisted child-serving systems (child welfare, juvenile justice, education, primary health, behavioral health, substance abuse, child care, and Head Start);
- Disseminating best practices to all communities, not just those receiving federal grants, including rural and under-served areas as well as communities of color;
- Prioritizing prevention, early identification, and early intervention for families with children at risk of developing emotional or behavioral disorders; and
- Addressing policy barriers, regulatory conflicts, and funding mechanisms that inhibit creative and flexible service delivery to young people and families;
Despite these efforts, more must be done to address the evolving sexual diversity and changing ethnic demographics of the United States. MHA urges that the following additional strategies be implemented:
- Establishing policies to provide increased consistency and equity of care for lgbtqqiap youth and young people and families of color;
- Establishing policies that eliminate cultural and linguistic barriers to accessing services; and
- Designing and implementing behavioral health workforce training programs that address the diverse developmental, cultural, and linguistic needs of young people and families.
Effective Period
The Mental Health America Board of Directors approved this policy on June 12, 2011. It is reviewed as required by the Mental Health America Public Policy Committee.

Donation Types
Blood Donation | Bone Marrow Donation | Eye Donation | Kidney Donation | Liver Donation | Living Donation | Pancreas Donation | Tissue Donation | Willed Body Donation
Blood Donation
There is no substitute for blood. One pint of blood can save several lives. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's organs and tissues. Platelets promote blood clotting. Cancer, transplant, trauma, and surgery patients are a few reasons why blood donation is important and it does save lives. To learn more about blood donation contact your local Red Cross office or visit The Red Cross website.
Bone Marrow Donation
Patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases may be treated by a bone marrow transplant. Bone marrow transplant is a type of living donation. For many of these patients, a transplant may be the best and only hope of a cure. To learn more, visit one of the following links:
In addition, visit the following sites to learn more about being a bone marrow donor and bone marrow transplants.
Eye Donation
Corneal transplants are the oldest and most successful tissue transplant procedure. Many diseases can cause the cornea (the eye's front 'windowpane') to become cloudy resulting in poor vision or total blindness.
- Whole globe donation allows the Eye Bank to provide the white part of the eye for use in patients who have had their whole eye removed due to injury or disease.
- The lens and other structures of the eye can be used for sight saving research.
- To learn more about eye donation or how to become an eye donor, visit the following links:
Kidney Donation
Kidney transplants are the most common organ transplant in the United States. Kidneys fail due to diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension). A kidney transplant can eliminate the need for dialysis and is life-saving. Learn more. For brochures about kidney donation, click here.
Kidney Paired Donation
Kidney paired donation (KPD) is a transplant option for candidates who have a living donor who is medically able, but cannot donate a kidney to their intended candidate because they are incompatible (i.e., poorly matched). Patient information including brochure, transplant sites videos are available at http://www.unos.org/donation/index.php?topic=kpd.

The Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs have spent 43 years tormenting and badgering each other. The fans have relished the rivalry, cheering and jeering the emotion-filled games on both sides of the border.
The split-allegiance spectators who filled First Niagara Center on Thursday thoroughly enjoyed the latest chapter. Buffalo's fans liked it a bit more.
The Sabres skated away with a wild 5-4 shootout victory after Steve Ott scored in the sixth round. The goal gave Buffalo's backers in the rowdy, roar-filled crowd of 19,070 one last chance to outshout Toronto's faithful.
"This was fun hockey," Sabres forward Marcus Foligno said. "With Toronto, obviously, it adds a little bit."
The Sabres won their second straight game and improved to 3-1-1 in their last five by showing the resiliency that has grown remarkably under interim coach Ron Rolston. Toronto had a 2-0 lead after 10 minutes and had a 3-1 advantage midway through the second period. Buffalo rallied to take a 4-3 lead early in the third, then improved to 4-2 in the breakaway challenge.
"It would be nice if we could get some regulation wins because basically we're trying to catch those teams, but we hung in there and we're pretty happy with the shootout win," said Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, who had a goal and three points to help enliven the atmosphere. "It seems like when Toronto fans are here they bring out the best in our fans. They just try to one-up one another, and it was a fun game to play in right from the start there with the fights, a lot of goals."
The energy level was typically high from the outset with Leafs fans flooding the building, and a pair of fights 2:09 in amped things even more. John Scott and Frazer McLaren dropped the gloves off a faceoff, then Colton Orr charged at Patrick Kaleta.
It was an applause-creating appetizer.
"They got their money's worth," Rolston said of the fans. "It was an exciting game, maybe not for the coaches in terms of the momentum swings, but it was an entertaining game."
The Leafs, playing for the second straight night, enjoyed the first jolt of emotion. They scored on two of their first three shots, with Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri beating goaltender Ryan Miller in the opening 10:04.
Tyler Ennis got the Sabres on the board 1:06 before the first period ended, but Mikhail Grabovski rebuilt Toronto's two-goal lead with 8:52 gone in the second.
"It didn't really seem to affect us that negatively to be down," Ehrhoff said. "We just kept going."
Foligno and captain Jason Pominville scored 45 seconds apart midway through the second to tie the game and get the fans in Blue and Gold back into the festivities.
"Their fans come here, and it's pretty loud for them," Foligno said. "But we got the fans out of it later, picked up our tempo and had some good power plays."
The teams entered the final period tied at 3-all, but the Sabres needed just 22 seconds to change that. They scored with a man advantage for the third straight game, the first time they've done so all season.
Ehrhoff glided toward the middle of the zone and unleashed a slap shot that soared past goalie James Reimer, giving the Sabres their first lead.
Toronto, though, answered with its own power-play goal. Kadri scored his second of the night with 6:33 gone in the third, ultimately sending the contest through 65 minutes of play and 12 shootout attempts.
The worst part for the crowd was it finally ended. The Sabres hope the fun is just beginning.
"We know that we have a bit of a hill to climb, but why can't we be the team?" said Kaleta, whose 11th-place club heads to Montreal on Saturday just four points out of eighth. "We're coming together here and playing as a team, and I think we're reaping the benefits of it."
Sabres 5, Maple Leafs 4 (SO)
Slap shots: Ott scores the winner in shootout as Sabres improve to 3-1-1 in last five games. ... Foligno, Pominville score 45 seconds apart in second to send teams into third period tied, 3-3. ... Leafs score on two of first three shots, but Ennis scores late in first to cut Sabres' deficit to 2-1.
Fast fact: Jason Pominville ended an eight-game scoring drought, his second-longest slump since 2008-09.
Next game: At Montreal Canadiens, 7 p.m. Saturday in Bell Centre.

Yaw: State must deal with pension problem
January 27, 2013
Pennsylvania's looming $41 billion pension shortfall for state workers and public school employees will be one of the challenges lawmakers will face this year in Gov....
"I don't think the pension plan has been mismanaged."
If you don't consider not funding the plan as it should have been funded for over a decade as 'mismanaged', I guess he is right. I believe differently though.

I believe FDR [you know, that famous Democratic president] warned AGAINST public sector unions....reap the harvest!!!
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This definitely a clear case of politicians mismanaging the pension funds. In 2001 elected politicians believed pensions were well-funded and stock market gains would continue indefinitely, so they decided to boost pension benefits for themselves and government workers - retroactively (1st mistake). When the stock market dropped, lawmakers erred again by voting to put off paying for those losses for years (2nd mistake). Losses were again exacerbated by big investment losses in 2008 (3rd mistake).Looks like mismanagement to me. the only solution is to get politics out of pensions. Fixing this mess can only happen by moving from defined benefit pensions, where taxpayers provide the retired government employee a guaranteed government income for life (we'd all like that), to a retirement plan that the majority in the private sector have, something like a 401(k). Those private companies that offer a retirement switched to these decades ago.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lawmakers cannot continue play political games with taxpayer monies. Stand up to the unions, quit being little girly-men. 401(k) plans offer convenience for workers. Workers will benefit from the ability to take their 401(k) with them as they change jobs. Retirees can pass their remaining 401(k) onto their heirs, whereas pension payouts end when retirees die, even if they paid in more than they collected. And, most importantly Pennsylvania taxpayers benefit from an affordable retirement system for government employees who will benefit from a sustainable system that will actually be there when they retire. Issuing bonds is not the way to fix the problem it only pushes it onto future generations and that is something that must stop. Future generations cannot afford to pay for our overspending today, they will have their own spending issues.

andy33-"(FDR) warned AGAINST public sector unions.."
CarlHiller-"Lawmakers...Stand up to the unions"
The problem is that Unions don't make the laws. Yes, they and their members may lobby for them, but they don't make laws. The Pensions in PA are the result of laws that were passed, not collective bargaining. You can continue to misplace your blame on the Public Sector employees and their Unions, but if you want the truth to the cause of the problem look to the Government who made the law and then didn't fund it as they should have.

Carl, it doesn't matter if they switch all new employees to 401k's. It doesn't solve the problem of current employees pension funds being underfunded. And, in fact, there are people who warn that switching new employees to 401k's will make the current problem worse because you will lose the income into the system.
PA Supreme Court rulings have said you can't change public employees pension plans mid-stream, that basically they are contract between the Commonwealth and the employee.
So while I don't necessarily disagree with switching new employees to 401k's to alleviate the problem in the future, you aren't going to get away from putting the cash back into the current system to fix the problem.

Carl- the current program is a CONTRACT made between the state and the employees. Employees have continued to pay their fair share over the past 14 years despite the STATE having stopped paying its share. Just because Corbett ran on a no tax-hike platform doesn't mean that it is truly feasible when he knew about this mess! He's alraedy made public education a target, now he's going after the retirement? I lost half my pension to my unfaithful ex-husband in a divorce settlement, I'm not about to let anyone else mess with the remaining part of my retirement for my final years of work.

Zippie, that me be so with laws, but it's not so easy with Supreme Court Rulings.
The law forced employees to participate. "Participate" meant that money was taken from the employees pay each payday with the promise that upon retirement they would get a monthly payment based on a set formula (set percentage x years of service x final average salary). It's been ruled, by the PA supreme court, that it is a contract that can't be broken. Now Corbett and some legislators want to try it again in court and see where it falls. I don't know that they have the support to even try it for existing employees.

Contracts can be changed - The private sector has done it innumerable times. There are a number of ways to minimize effects on current employees - but everyone is still going to be affected. We are going to pay higher taxes, employees are going to get less, and government is going to borrow more. One way is to take current funding and purchase annuities as Verizon just did in 2012 to alter its current retirees plan. Another is to offer lump sums to retire early and hire new workers under the changed plan. This is one of those things that I divert from the 2 major party lines. This crisis can be fixed, not perfectly overnite, but it can be fixed. Are you willing to pay an additional $1000 per year in increased state and local taxes? Or as I have gathered from most of the responses are you willing to push it off to your children and grandchildren? There is a time coming when full pension payments will not be made, they can't be.

Carl, not sure who you were talking to, but here's my 2 cents again.
The PA Supreme Court has ruled that the pensions of public employees can't be changed midstream. Although they have ruled it's considered a contract, it isn't a contract in the sense of a negotiated benefit. Because it took an act of the legislature, and because the employees had a portion of their pay withheld and told that they would be paid defined benefit pension for their service and money withheld, they are protected from having it ripped out from under them.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The government is held to a higher standard than the private sector. They must pay what they said they would pay for the services provided. The Employees were told that in exchange for their service and the money that was involuntarily taken from their checks they would get a defined benefit pension at the end of their career.
This would NOT be an issue had they not skipped out on their payments for 10+ years. It's money that should have been put in all along. No, I don't want my kids to pay for it. WE should pay for it now. If it takes raising taxes to fix the mess the Government created, then do it. The employees paid their share all these years and it's not right to look to them to fix a problem that was not of their doing. This is solely due to the mismanagement of the funds by withholding payments.

"The PA Supreme Court has ruled that the pensions of public employees can't be changed midstream." That is simply not true from what I have researched. There are cases the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has had about contract impairment. They have held, as other states have done, that you can't change the terms of a contract without giving consideration. Mike, with all due respect, this is one I will agree to disagree with you on.

As a side note Mike, "Pennie v. Reis, 132 U.S. 464 (1889). The Officers' Fund established a $1,000 death benefit payable to the officer's estate. Ten days before the officer died, the State of California repealed the Officers' Fund and established a new fund that did not offer a death benefit. James Pennie, the administrator of the officer's estate, asked Mr. Reis, the treasurer of the Officers' Fund, to pay the money to the estate. The treasurer refused to pay, and Pennie filed a writ of mandate with the state court to compel the treasurer to pay. The Supreme Court of California ultimately dismissed Mr. Pennie's writ, holding that the repeal of the Officers' Fund was lawful. The United States Supreme Court affirmed, ruling that public-employee pension programs do not create vested rights against legislative modifications." the Third Circuit ruled that changes to a Pennsylvania public pension plan did not violate either state or federal constitutional impairment of contract

where the public plan expressly reserved the right of modification. Transp. Workers Union v. SEPTA, 145 F.3d 619, 629 (3d Cir. 1998). The Third Circuit did observe, however, that "[w]hile Pennie has never been expressly overruled, most state supreme courts subsequently rejected the 'gratuity' approach in favor of an approach that viewed such programs as creating implied-in-fact unilateral contracts."
