Erie County's flu season slowing down
Erie County's four-month flu season finally appears to be winding down.
Only 22 cases were reported last week to the Erie County Department of Health, compared to 50 cases the week ending March 23 and 59 cases the week ending March 16.
But one local health official said the season, which is in its 19th week, could drag on a while longer.
"We're seeing fewer cases, but I don't expect the season will end for another month or two," said Charlotte Berringer, R.N., director of community health for the county Health Department. "I think we'll still see a trickle of cases each week like we did at the end of last year."
That could make the 2012-13 flu season Erie County's longest since flu became a reportable disease in 2003. The 2010-11 season lasted 26 weeks but two of those weeks had no reportable flu cases.
It's also been an intense flu season, with 1,098 cases reported -- the most except for the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
"It's been a very active flu season," said Gary Peterson, D.O., a family physician with West Lake Family Practice, 3435 West Lake Road. "We have only seen it starting to slow down the last two to three weeks."
Many of Peterson's patients have been children and those older than 55, people who are most prone to complications from the flu.
Three people were hospitalized with flu last week, according to the county Health Department.
"It's still a dangerous illness, especially for those compromised immune systems," Berringer said, referring to the elderly, people on chemotherapy and those with chronic diseases like asthma or heart failure.
Peterson is seeing a decline in patients with stomach viruses, but said many people are seeing him who have a persistent cold with a cough.
"The cough is lasting three to four weeks on average," Peterson said.

Under the command of Roberto Setúbal, Brazil's Banco Itaú has moved into a league of its own. Itaú is the most profitable and most valuable bank in Latin America.
Running a bank in Latin America is a bit like being behind
the wheel of a stock car. The field is crowded and accidents
always happen, with unpredictable results. Some cars are rust
buckets held together with chewing gum and wire. Others are
high-performance machines. A perfectly good driver can be
bounced out of the race while another who is merely luckier
makes it to the finishing line. But only drivers with
hair-trigger reactions, able to calculate risk at high speed
can win consistently.
The skills required of a great banker are similar, although
the risks are not quite as great. Few bankers actually stake
their lives on quarterly results or the success of a big deal
in the way drivers risk all to win a race. However, the rewards
are usually far greater in banking than in auto racing.
In his 10 years as president of Banco Itaú,

The growing population of infants, toddlers and preschoolers on school buses presents a wide range of challenges to the transportation provider. Many of these challenges test the operator's knowledge and experience. I know this because I field calls every day from conscientious, compassionate school bus professionals who are desperate for information on how to safely transport these youngsters. A good starting point for school bus operators is to ensure that their equipment - including child safety seats, seat belts and seat frame anchorages - conform to federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS). Using proper restraint
Although many child restraints are available, there is no single safety seat that is best or safest. The important thing is that the child restraint meets the performance requirements of FMVSS 213. This information should be listed on a label attached to the child safety seat. The type of child restraint that you choose will depend on each child's needs. For example, a safety seat with a shield should not be used with a child who wears glasses, which could injure the youngster if he or she is pitched forward during a sudden stop. If possible, test a variety of child restraint systems before buying one. You might even want to drive the school bus to the vendor's shop for on-the-spot testing. Another important aspect of using a child restraint system on a school bus is making sure that it is secured with seat belts that meet FMVSS 208 (occupant crash protection) and 209 (seat belt assemblies). Be especially careful to ensure that aftermarket seat belts meet these standards. There are seat belts designed for positioning purposes only, and they should not be used to secure a child restraint. Once you've confirmed that the child restraint and the seat belts meet federal safety standards, you have one more piece of equipment that you must check - the seat belt assembly anchorage. These seat frames must meet FMVSS 210, which ensures that anchorages for seat belt assemblies provide effective occupant restraint. All school buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) below 10,000 pounds are required to comply with standards that apply to occupant protection. Thus, they must have federally approved seat belts and anchorages. Meanwhile, manufacturers of school buses with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds and over voluntarily comply with these standards. If belts are installed at the point of manufacture, they will meet the federal standards. If a school district intends to add seat belts to an existing bus, it is crucial that the manufacturer of the vehicle is contacted to see if retrofitting is possible. Anchoring seat belts to a bus seat frame that does not meet federal specifications could jeopardize the securement of the child restraint. Keys to securement
Once you've ascertained that all of the equipment meets federal standards, the next step is to properly secure the safety seat. Before using the child restraint, it's important to read the manufacturer's instructions on proper installation and usage. If you no longer have the instructions, the manufacturer can provide them if you know the model number and date of manufacture. As a rule of thumb, infants should ride facing the rear of the vehicle until they're one year old or 20 pounds. A child weighing 20 to 40 pounds should face forward. Manufacturers' guidelines may vary slightly. In the case of a child that has outgrown a child restraint - and yet would not benefit from compartmentalization - we recommend that the bus operator use a vest restraint. Each child safety seat has a designated path to route the seat belt, depending on how it is used. The seat belt should be pulled tightly while putting weight into the child restraint. After you've secured the child restraint system to the bus seat, you need to secure the infant or toddler in the safety seat. This involves placing the harness straps over the child's shoulders so they're snug, allowing only one finger between the strap and the child's body. Some child restraints have a retainer clip that keeps the harness on the child's shoulders. The retainer clip should be positioned at armpit level. A quick way to determine if a child has outgrown a child restraint is to see if his or her ears are above the top of the restraint. If so, the child is too tall for the restraint. If you are unsure about a child restraint, or you are having problems with it, contact the manufacturer. To see if it has been recalled, call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 800/424-9393. Kentin Gearhart is project manager of the Mobile School Bus Project at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Surveillance cameras have become so advanced they can zoom in close enough to see cell phone screens, raising new concerns of a "Big Brother" invasion of privacy.
The London Daily Mail reported that new technology allows security cameras to read a person's text messages and, in the future, could possibly pick up raised voices and detect drugs.
Some legal expects call the new camera advancements "worrying."
"It's quite worrying when we, by default, move to some sort of Orwellian 1984 where the state or 'Big Brother' watches your every move," civil liberties lawyer Michael Bott said.
"We don't realize what we are giving up when we give the state the power to monitor our private lives," he added.
A series of cameras were used last year at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand to test how advanced video surveillance has become. Camera operators were able to scan the crowd of thousands for suspicious packages or behavior, and even read one man's text message.
The revelations were made at a recent privacy conference in New Zealand. It was also revealed that the average person is recorded about a dozen times a day between surveillance devices on streets, stores, banks and other common public places.
Following the 9/11 attacks, the amount of surveillance cameras across in the United States rose by about 30 million.

My old owner (mommy's old rommate) brought me home when I was only a month old (I'd wandered into where he worked). Unfortunately he didn't take good care of me, and my now mommy did all the taking care of. When mommy moved out (it was a very long time ago), she brought me with her, since she was the one who truly loved me, and since I'd essentially become her cat anyway.

IT SEEMS eons ago, but just two full autumns have passed since Ryan Howard crumpled to the ground on his way to the last out of what was, statistically at least, the best season of a 5-year string of division titles.
So much has changed since that 102-win season. So many have gone. And one player, the one who sat so dejectedly at his locker that night, has, for much of the time since, disappeared. The Phillies started 45-year-old Jamie Moyer in the World Series they won, and couldn't get past the first round despite the healthy arms of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt in 2011. No collection of statistics will ever explain that fully, but if you're doing forensics on the last two seasons, then the disappearance of the player his former manager dubbed "The Big Piece" would seem to be the obvious starting point.

Best purchase ever.
By Bonita
from NDIAiNA
As an active retiree I often have many projects to keep track of and this is the best I've have seen ever. That last statement includes my professional life, when I was raising children, keeping track of everones schedule and appointments and the usual stuff of spouse and self, where I often had to have at least three planners. Now, all of that time was pre I Pad. But having said that and having all the electronic stuff, this is still the easiest to carry with me I have ever had with agendas at finger tips without the danger of cuuting anyone off. Thanks.!!!!
Loosen-up a little!
By Bronco
from Undisclosed
The overall quality of the item is excellent, especially the heavier weight of the paper, but the wrapping was so tight that a few of the sheets were dog-eared and the entire 120-sheet pack took on a slight curvature. There is no real problem here but ... MAYBE you could loosen-up a little.
Circa creates another great product
By granny6b2g
from Mosinee, WI
I saw this product with the 4 different widths of paper in the same package. I had to order one pack of the junior and the letter size. Although I haven't used it yet, I can see it as a great organizational tool. It is the good quality paper you come to expect with Circa. I am looking forward to setting up a notebook with it to use.

• Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm, with only 140 cases having been reported to date. Data on 123 of these cases are reviewed herein and another case is presented in detail. Several features distinguish this type of breast cancer from more typical histologic types and suggest that it may have a unique tumor behavior. The prognosis appears to be favorable and the incidence of axillary lymph node involvement is lower. Distant metastases are uncommon, but they tend to occur without prior lymph node involvement. This lack of prognostic significance for negative axillary lymph nodes underscores the need for other prognostic markers in this disease and suggests that axillary dissection can be eliminated in most cases. Similarities to typical breast cancer include the incidence of local recurrence and the lack of effect of surgical treatment on distant metastases and overall survival. These data suggest that breast-conserving treatment may be applicable to adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Featured Golf News
It's Official: Golf Good for the American Economy
A group that involves a collaboration of leading organizations representing all segments of the United States golf industry has announced that the game's charitable impact totaled $3.9 billion in 2011.
GOLF 2/20 and the National Golf Foundation conducted a study evaluating golf as a fundraising vehicle. The study estimated:
12,000 golf facilities (75 percent of the American total) participated;
143,000 events;
12 million participants;
$26,300 average generated per function.
"Regardless of the economic climate, golf is a key driver of charitable giving in the U.S.," said Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation, administrator of GOLF 20/20. "As a major focus of the golf industry, working with organizers of philanthropic events helps improve millions of lives."
Beneficiaries include health, youth, education, environmental and cultural groups nationally, regionally and locally.
More than 85 percent of organizations conducting golf events find them important because, in addition to raising significant funds, they are easy to organize and provide exposure and networking opportunities among supporters.
The charitable impact findings are based on qualitative calls and data collection from a coast-to-coast sampling of public and private golf facilities, and nonprofit organizations producing golf events.
Donations, including those from professional tournaments, are a significant part of the golf industry, which is comparable in size to the motion picture and video industries.

EXCEPT for case studies, most of the literature in which specific signs and symptoms are empirically associated with a diagnosis of "schizophrenia" or "schizophrenic reaction" consists of reports of cross-sectional data associated with a single hospitalization. Relatively little systematic attention has been paid to the consistency of schizophrenic symptoms over time and over multiple hospitalizations.
The purpose of this study is to examine the presenting complaints, signs and symptoms, which required two hospitalizations of the same group of patients over a two-year period. Each individual's symptoms and diagnosis on an index hospitalization are compared with those on readmission.
Subjects and Methods
Subjects were drawn from the total group of 403 enlisted men discharged from the Psychiatry Service of Walter Reed General Hospital with a final diagnosis of schizophrenic reaction during the period of February 1962 to May 1963.

Romaji is generally not used on Japanese web pages and will return poor search results. If you don't have a native Japanese operating system on your computer, you will get best results by using something like JWP to write out the request and pasting it into the search box using New-JIS encoding. Kanji search terms work better than 'spelling it out' as well.
Google Japan
If you liked the English version, you'll love the Japanese one. Direct,
good searches with the full power of Google.
Yahoo! Japan
As a child of the mother of all index sites, you would expect a
superlative performance from Yahoo! Japan. Unfortunately this
expectation is only partially fufilled. Yahoo! Japan unquestionably
has an immense database - but it has the feel of 'Yahoo's little brother
wearing handy downs'
in its look and feel. Still a very good source of topically sorted links.
Infoseek Japan
Infoseek's entry in the Japanese search engines market.
""Retrieval loCation by weighted AssociAtion rUle," pronounced "Mo-n-do-u." Using RCAAU you may gain insight into one of the methods of Zen.
Huh? Well, anyway it is a (admittedly somewhat odd) search
engine. Not very polished and 'feels' small.
Pretty to the point. Fast without a lot of 'god its reloading the
advertising graphics again' you see on so many search engines.
I liked the fact that you can list a lot of found pages at once instead
of only ten or twenty at a time like a lot of other search engines.
Sponsored by Fujitsu Limited. It did a good job even on romaji searches.
BigLobe Search
Not a name I recognized initially, but my test search there produced a
lot of good hits fast. I would definitely recommend it.
Nihongo Yellow Pages
Not a conventionel web index, but a virtual yellow pages for
Japanese related businesses both on and off the net.
Unfortunately it really doesn't sub-divide its information well
enough: It consists mainly of long unsorted lists and
they are not as picky about making sure that
the listings are actually relevant to Japan as they should be.
But there are some gems hidden in there.
URL Square List of Search Engines
URL Square is itself a search engine, but what is interesting here is the
ease with which it can be made to return a current list of things that
look like search engines for Japan. ;-)
Japan Information Network
Run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (beware of Greeks and
bureaucrats bearing gifts), it has lots of links, but the site
organization could be better (it suffers from having too many links per
page). I recommend the framed version over the non-framed version. It also
has a good collection of Japan related statistics.
This is a relatively new site. While they have a search engine, they seem
strongest as an index site. Well organized, and the links they have are
pretty good. They do still have some strangeness about their URL -
sometime you lose the domain name and end up with their IP address (this
is very minor). Interestingly, they also mark if english content is
available on a link.

Kieswetter stars in thrilling victory
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Craig Kieswetter's sparkling 152 helped Somerset to an incredible one-wicket victory over Warwickshire that was set up by Gemaal Hussain's five-wicket haul.
Heading into the final day of the LV= County Championship clash, Division One leaders Warwickshire appeared the only likely victors; they were 66 for three second time around having sealed a 146-run first-innings lead.
Yet Hussain had other ideas, following up his wicket yesterday evening with another four to seal figures of 5-48 and help dismiss Warwickshire for 123.
That left the hosts needing 271 to win – a figure that looked beyond their reach when they slipped to 15 for three.
But Kieswetter, helped by Nick Compton's 52, remarkably struck 14 fours and seven sixes in an astonishing 170-ball innings.
The drama was not done, however, as England's one-day international wicketkeeper's departure sparked an astonishing finish.
Having removed Kieswetter, Keith Barker claimed a further three quick wickets to seal career-best figures of 6-40 and leave Somerset nine down.
But Peter Trego, who struck 14 not out, held his nerve, hitting Jeetan Patel for four to secure victory.
Wickets started tumbling immediately after Warwickshire resumed, with Hussain trapping Varun Chopra in front before Max Waller brilliantly caught Tim Ambrose at midwicket off Alfonso Thomas.
Hussain then struck twice quickly, having Rikki Clarke caught at midwicket and trapping Chris Woakes in front before Barker edged Thomas behind.
Patel chipped in with a brisk 21, but that did not stop the visitors being dismissed for a disappointing total, with Hussain finishing the job by having Chris Wright leg before.
Somerset got off to the worst possible start; Woakes had Alex Barrow and James Hildreth caught behind the wicket either side of Barker bowling Arul Suppiah.
Kieswetter joined Compton to steady the situation, with the former wasting little time in showing his intent, epitomised by him greeting Clarke's introduction with a straight six.
He reached a 52-ball half-century soon after and, despite skipper Jim Troughton's best efforts, bat continued to dominate.
Even better was to come from Kieswetter, who reached three figures via three successive sixes off Patel, while his perfect foil, Compton, then moved to a less spectacular fifty.
Woakes enticed an edge from the number three soon after, however. But Jos Buttler kept things ticking over with a run-a-ball 24.
He played a loose drive at Barker to be caught at slip – not that Kieswetter was deterred, illustrated by him reaching 150.
Yet there was to be a twist in the tale; Barker had the centurion caught at long-leg - a wicket he followed up by having Craig Meschede caught by Chopra.
Thomas was next to go, edging to Clarke and, amid mounting tension, Waller was caught at slip as Barker continued to thrive.
However, Trego proved the perfect man for the situation, hitting Patel through long-on to end a thrilling encounter.

Innovative choreography highlights PNB's third program
by Deborah Stone
Three world premieres; "Ruby, My Dear," "Diversions" and "III For V" take the stage along with "Ginastera," a Seattle premiere, in Pacific Northwest Ballet's third program of its 25th anniversary season.
Featuring music by famed jazz composer Thelonious Monk, performed by an eleven piece live jazz ensemble, audiences are in for a highly rhythmic ballet with Lynn Dally's "Ruby, My Dear." Dally brings her noted tap and jazz style and sets it to dancers on point. Engaging rhythms with a mixture of be-bop, blues and ballads challenge the dancers to complex steps and speed. The result is a performance bursting with style and attitude.
"III For V," choreographed by PNB School faculty member Bruce Wells, is set against a backdrop of clouds and performed to the music of Maurice Ravel. Five dancers appear to move effortlessly with a supreme lightness of being as they perform three romantic movements. "Ginastera" is an abstract ballet by Dutch choreographer Rudi van Dantzig, and it was chosen by PNB especially to showcase the company's male dancers. Although they exhibited some unevenness in parts, the eight men featured looked strong and moved gracefully in a series of groupings and partnerships. The piece is intricate and challenging, yet lacks connection and warmth.
"Diversions," by PNB principal dancer Paul Gibson, completes the program. Featuring music by Morton Gould, it is jazzy, sensual and playful. Dancers let loose and truly convey a sense of wild and reckless abandonment. They move with expression and passion, bringing out the deep feeling in the music. The air is charged with excitement up until the last moment of this energetic, non-stop piece. It's a perfect finale to a highly innovative program. PNB's Program III runs through Feb. 7.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wacker Biosolutions has developed an E. coli-based protein secretion technology, explained Susanne Dilsen, Ph.D., head of production. Referred to as Esetec®, it is a recovery and purification procedure for high-efficiency Fab isolation.
"Our process consists of the Esetec expression system, a fermentation process, a recovery procedure, and a scalable purification process," Dr. Dilsen said.
Esetec boasts a specially designed E. coli K12 strain, dedicated expression vectors and a toolbox of helper plasmids, supplying chaperones, disulfide isomerases, and foldases. This strain secretes proteins directly into the medium rather than into the periplasm. The accompanying toolbox is an extensive collection of protease deletion strains, signal peptides, chaperones, and secretion components.
An important feature of the process is screening for the most satisfactory clones, working up the ladder in stages. The primary screening stage is a high-throughput, random method, covering 1,000 to 3,000 clones per week, for optimizing titer. The second level of screening focuses on functionality and can handle 30 to 60 clones per week.
Finally, the strain selection for the fermentation component handles only three to nine clones per week and aims at selection for titer, function, and quality.
Nothing is left to happenstance in the configuration process. All inoculation ratios and preculture conditions are standardized and a chemically defined medium free of animal proteins is employed. Temperatures and temperature down-shift before induction have been identified, as have the effects of additives (e.g., reducing agents, stabilizers, antifoaming reagents). These were tested and the cell-harvesting conditions standardized during the initial design phases of the process.
Dr. Dilsen described case studies using the Esetec technology. The first, a collaboration with Bayer HealthCare, focused on the production of a recalcitrant Fab, sporting five disulfide bonds.
"In this case we were aiming for yields in excess of 0.5 g/L in the culture supernatant, favoring large-scale production," she added. "This required the development of appropriate analytical methods. The first yields were less than satisfactory, so we used the toolbox to improve the heavy chain expression, folding, and secretion."
The modifications, which increased yields by twofold, included altering the promoter to increase the expression of the heavy chain while at the same time co-expressing helper elements, folding, and secretion of the Fab, which is now correctly assembled and fully functional.
In a second case study, Dr. Dilsen and her colleagues collaborated with Morphosys to construct mono- and bivalent antibody fragment formats with different specificity, framework, and physico-chemical properties. In one series of investigations with the Esetec platform, a 40-fold increase was obtained that generated functional Fab products.
The advantages of single-use, disposable technologies are widely acknowledged, as is substantial enthusiasm for therapeutic antibodies. Klaus Kaiser, Ph.D., head of GMP purification, global biological development, Bayer HealthCare, spoke to the issue of the purification of innovative antibodies with new functionalities. Of note are antibody-drug conjugates and modifications of the protein molecule to stabilize it or enhance its activity.
Many companies are targeting biosimilars, given that they are based on approaches that have already been validated. Their biology is well understood. This leads to the potential for shorter time lines, a much desired outcome in an era of approval processes that can run to many years.
With downstream processing a major component of the drug development mix, it is of critical importance to dissect the costs of the various steps in downstream operations. As would be expected, the Protein A purification step is far and away the most costly, at 40% of the total. This means that it would be very difficult to bring down costs significantly without making inroads into this component.
Whereas disposable downstream technologies are highly favored, they are not without their disadvantages and challenges. This includes overly complex construction and mechanical instability. Yet they do not present the high maintenance costs, including decommissioning and dismantling incurred with reusable bioprocessing technologies.
In the long haul the demands of the market will dictate whether existing large-scale reusable plants will be more cost-effective than the small-scale, single-use option.
In designing the facilities plan, Dr. Kaiser discussed the "ballroom" option, in which processes are so tightly closed that there is no need for the traditional spatial segregations between a variety of upstream and downstream tasks. In this configuration one can group upstream and downstream unit operations in a common production ballroom.
Dr. Kaiser finished his analysis with a discussion of another major factor influencing cost containment. That is the emerging discipline of personalized medicine. Given that most drugs are ineffective in a majority of patients, there is a strong push for drugs targeted to those individuals that will actually respond to the agent. This means that accurate biomarkers will be required, a task that has so far frustrated cancer researchers.
Provided that such tests are forthcoming, this will push pharma companies toward smaller volumes and many more individual drugs. This trend will clearly favor the disposable technologies.
"Single-use technologies have many advantages which let them appear ideal for 'individualized' production," he said.
At the end of the conference, Uwe Gottschalk, Ph.D., vp for purification technologies at Sartorius Stedim Biotech, summarized the state of innovation in the downstream processing field.
"Today we are faced with unprecedented challenges that we cannot meet without truly inventive approaches," he said. "While there is now a general recognition of this reality within the field, unfortunately this has not always been the case."
Dr. Gottschalk believes that there are drivers coming from several directions that are overwhelming the fear of moving forward that dominated thinking of companies in the past.
"Most significant are cost and regulatory issues. We're seeing that there is no easy way out of these problems.
"So I think that the take-home message is that the industry is now firmly committed to original ways of thinking that will move us forward.
New technologies in virus filtration, microfiltration, resins, and membrane absorbers are being introduced by Asahi Kasei Bioprocess, according to John Fisher, senior manager for science and technology. "Today many are giving the virus filtration step the respect that it deserves, recognizing that it is not just a simple filter," he explains.
With increasing titers in the cell culture processing step, there are challenges being forced on traditional downstream unit operations. Asahi, like many other companies, realizes that the virus filtration unit operation is one of the highest cost of goods components in downstream processing.
To lower costs, many companies have adopted longer processing times, thereby reducing the virus filter area requirement. But operating over a longer duration places a greater burden on the virus filter to maintain throughput with minimal flux decay. At the same time, consistent performance during manufacturing and virus validation is essential.
"This strategy places pressure on the validation specialists to create cleaner virus spikes, allowing high capacities and long processing times to be validated," Fisher continued.
Filter vendors are focusing on filter design and creating robust filters that will tolerate substantial variations in feedstocks.
"Our company is working to characterize the size-exclusion mechanism of virus filtration as a function of the solution and operating conditions using fluorescent labeling and mathematical modeling to provide greater process understanding and to support end-users," explains Fisher.

Trumbull County is due for $182,668 and Mahoning County $103,557 in revenue sharing from the new casinos in Toledo and Cleveland.
The payments are the first of quarterly distributions from the Ohio Department of Taxation under state law that calls for a portion of the gross revenue tax paid by the casinos to be disbursed among counties, select cities and others, including school districts.
Commissioner Frank Fuda said Trumbull's share lessens a little the impact of losing $2.3 million in local government funds. ''It's a drop in the bucket from what they took away from us,'' Fuda said.

Dealer Adam Hickey runs a roulette table June 29 at Cleveland's Horseshoe Casino.
The money, he said, will be put in the general fund to run the county.
Likewise in Mahoning County.
Commissioner John McNally IV said the money would be put in a special revenue fund in the general fund budget. Some of it, he said, might be set aside for capital improvements or pay down debt.
According to the Associated Press, gamblers bet more than $417 million in the first full month the casinos were in business, while operators paid more than $371 million in winnings, or an 89 percent payout.
Total deposits by the state made in July were $19.7 million, according to the state.
The money will be paid to the counties and the state's eight largest cities, Youngstown being one of them, every three months. School districts will receive payment twice a year, starting in January 2013.
Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone said the $103,557 the city will receive could be used for home demolitions or for a program that helps residents become compliant with city housing codes.
''Any additional income we pick, we try to get it back to the community, the citizens, the taxpayers to help them with problems we're trying to eliminate,'' Sammarone said.
Farther south, Columbiana County will be $93,898 richer.
Commission Chairman Mike Halleck said that while commissioners were obviously pleased to learn of the windfall, they are not counting on receiving the same amount every time, which they expect to drop as the initial interest in the casinos wanes.
Halleck estimates the casino revenue will generate an additional $700,000 to $800,000 a year for his county, which if true would offset the county's loss of $600,000 in state Local Government Fund money this year.
"Ultimately, we would hope it would make up for the loss of LGF money," he said. "It would be a wash if it continues."
Halleck would like to see some of the money placed in their capital improvement account to cover unanticipated expenses, such as the $100,000 it is expected to cost to replace a section of the county jail roof.
"It could be very helpful and this gives us some options," he said of the casino tax revenue.
The amount each county receives is based on population. Also, if the most populated city in a county had a population of more than 80,000 in the 2000 Census, that city receives 50 percent of the county money, according to the state taxation department.
According to the state's Casino Control Commission, the adjusted gross revenue being reported by the Hollywood Casino in Toledo since it opened May 29 is about $23 million. For the Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland, it was nearly $43 million.
The amounts - casino revenue and revenue sharing - are surely to increase once the casinos in Columbus and Cincinnati open. The Hollywood Casino is Columbus is set to open Oct. 8 and the Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati, in the spring of 2013, according to their websites.
The Lisbon Morning Journal contributed to this report.

• Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is associated with the administration of beta-blocking agents as well as continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The predisposing factors in the latter group are recurrent peritonitis, presence of acetate in the dialysate, and antiseptics used during bag exchanges. We report a case of SEP following chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and review the literature on this benign yet potentially lethal condition. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis frequently leads to intestinal obstruction, small-bowel necrosis, enterocutaneous fistulas, and malnutrition. There is a high incidence of anastomotic failure when a resection and primary intestinal anastomosis is performed in patients with SEP. Although SEP is not commonly reported in the surgical literature, its importance to surgeons is indicated by the fact that the overall mortality rate is close to 60% in patients with SEP who develop surgical complications.

Think You've Got the Write Stuff?
Ink-and-paper publishers have no time and less respect for unsolicited manuscripts. At iPublish, however, they're sifting the slush for the next Stephen King
By Faith Keenan
When iPublish.com launched in May, 2000, the wholly-owned electronic arm of Time Warner Trade Publishing didn't just want to try to convince people to read electronic books. It had a another ambitious goal: to use the Web to search for talent, and, in the process, begin to crack open an insular world where new writers need connections as much as sparkling prose to publish a book.
More than a year later, it's proving easier to find new talent via the Net than to get the public to read digital titles. E-books have yet to catch on, partly because only about 100,000 of the devices needed to read them will be in use this year, estimates Forrester Research. Time Warner's electronic versions of titles by best-selling authors like Anita Shreve and David Baldacci have failed to match the popularity of their print brethren. "Sales are slower than we would have hoped," says Greg Voynow, senior vice-president and general manager of iPublish, though he would not release a revenue figure. "It's taking longer and its more difficult and expensive than we expected 18 months ago."
Now for Chapter 2, in which the plot thickens. Since it started soliciting manuscripts in April, iPublish has received 1,000 submissions from aspiring writers. In the traditional publishing world, unsolicited manuscripts are known as slush, and seldom catch the eye of an editor before being returned to the sender. By using Netizens to help pick through the slush pile, iPublish aims to make sure it doesn't miss the no-name author who could turn into the next Stephen King. "The way we hope to save money in the long run is by getting authors early in their career," says Claire Zion, editorial director at iPublish. This August, the site plans to announce it will publish, on the Internet, its first round of titles by writers found via the Web.
Sound familiar? Indeed, the strategy closely resembles what MP3.com has attempted in the recording industry: sign up unknowns, sell their tracks over the Web, and take a cut of the sales. But even though downloading music from the Web has become one of the most popular ways to use the Net, companies have yet to turn a profit by selling new music by unknown artists online. Likewise, it's not clear whether online publishing will ever be a hit.
That's not stopping iPublish from trying to democratize the publishing world. Here's how it trawls for fresh talent: Before writers can post excerpts of up to 4,000 words on the site, they must first review three other submissions, write a critique, and then rate them on a scale of one to five stars. Then one of iPublish's own 10 editors will review the top-scoring titles. The idea is, the laymen reviewers will help iPublish learn what readers want to read. Eric Scheirer, a Forrester analyst, says it's not a bad idea. "They can potentially take over some aspects of the vanity press and search for new authors," he says. "If a new author becomes popular, they'll have that new author in house already."
Aspiring writers couldn't be happier. Sci-fi buff Barbara Halpern, a 52-year-old housewife from Washington, D.C., is among those who have submitted to iPublish. Before learning about the site, she tried everything: She sent short stories to magazines. No luck. She sent a synopsis and the first three chapters of a science-fiction novel to 60 agents and a few publishers. She still didn't get anywhere. "Publishers don't look at you unless you come recommended somehow," she says. "I found a lot of the agents were the same way."
Even though Halpern's work did not receive a high rating, she received a two-and-a-half page, single-spaced critique telling her how she could improve her work. "Here, I feel like I have an opportunity, and even if I don't succeed with this particular manuscript, I feel like I've learned a lot," says Halpern.
The good news for iPublish is that many submissions show promise. Editors say they've been remarkably impressed with some writers and are considering dozens for publication on the Web -- for a small fee. A list of their picks and prices will be announced in early August. The best work may eventually feed the print pipeline as well. "We had the notion that if we could connect, we'd find good writers," says Zion. "It turned out to be true." In her 20 years in the traditional publishing business, Zion says she has published only one book from the slush pile. Now, Zion and her colleagues hope to turn some of that slush into a fund of new stars and revenues for Time Warner.

Aaron Hernandez in Gators, Patriots 2014 calendars
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Ex-University of Florida and New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez, jailed while awaiting trial in the killing of three men, is Mr. July in the Gators' 2014 sports calendar and is also seen in a photo carrying the pigskin in a Patriots calendar by the same company.
The school said Tuesday that officials approved the publication months before he was charged with murder, and the Patriots said they would not comment on matters involving Hernandez.
The calendars are available for sale through Target.com.
Hernandez started 29 games for the Gators between 2007-2009. He later went on to star for the Patriots. After the 2012 season, on June 26, 2013, Hernandez was arrested in the slaying of Odin Lloyd.
Since then, Hernandez, 24, has also been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the drive-by shooting of two other men, Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado and faces trial in 2015. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, and is in jail in Massachusetts.

So today i decided to go to the Olympic Torch shit going on in SF; Already in the morning i seen the chaos on the news, but shit, who says thats a bad thing? So Nick, ROLLY* (lol), Jami, Nick, Mark, Nick, and I decided to go check it out. I'm not sure if any violent incidents occured while I was there (i didnt witness any at least?) since the entire protest and such was so big, I have to say it was very civil. A bunch of debates around the Embarcadero, Like so:
"Fuck Yo Couch!"
they kept on marching into me. i had no choice but to march along!
Pretty dope tank they made, cept that he shouted he was going to run over protestors.
The End.

Kareoke after! Oh and thanks Nai. I hella owe you.
Went to stop by a new bike store that opened up in Oakland near Emeryville called Manifesto
pretty nice inside, they had a little art show in the back as well.
Here's where the intresting part begins:
It might sound like BS but this is all forreal (no april fools joke) So there's this 240sx/S14 about 4 blocks from my house. I've seen it for the past 1-3 years. I've seen its stages of modification and today, when i was riding past his car on my way to BART. I see the owner outside and i decided to stop by and talk to him. I asked him if he'd happen to remember my wagon since we only live a few blocks away and he infact did recognize me (from car at least). I'll skip to the good stuff. Basically he insisted that id get in for a ride. And hell yes i did! i put my bike in his house and hopped into his car:
Had all the nice stuff, Stance coilovers, R33 wheels, SR20 w/fmi, Dart Izumi exhaust, cusco roll cage, to name a few. So basically he took me for a ride of my life in alameda lol. Drifting all over the place. this guy was fuckin bad! I'll leave most of the details out just for interwebz sake, but it was just fun. Really made me miss cars.
Vtec! jk.
