National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week: October 25-31, 2015
Lead Free Kids for a Healthy Future
Today, childhood lead poisoning is considered the most preventable environmental disease among young children, yet approximately half a million U.S. children have blood lead levels above 5 micrograms per deciliter, the reference level at which Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends public health actions be initiated. A simple blood test can prevent permanent damage that will last a lifetime. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CDC are committed to eliminating this burden to public health.
Interested in chatting with EPA, HUD, and CDC about lead?

National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW)
CDC and HHS share the goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning in the United States. NLPPW occurs every year during the last full week in October. During NLPPW, CDC aims to
- Raise awareness about lead poisoning;
- Stress the importance of screening the highest risk children younger than 6 years of age (preferably by ages 1 and 2) if they have not been tested yet;
- Highlight partners' efforts to prevent childhood lead poisoning; and
- Urge people to take steps to reduce lead exposure.
During NLPPW, many states and communities offer free blood-lead testing and conduct various education and awareness events. For more information about NLPPW activities in your area, please contact your state or local health department.
NLPPW is now also international – visit the World Health Organization's International Lead Poisoning Prevention 2015 Week of Action website for a detailed list of events and international outreach materials.

Nope, in many states, the still free states, they would be perfectly legal depending on their age. In Idaho, Washington state, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Kentucky, Virginia, Vermont they should be just fine, at first glance at the Opencarry.org map.

"Lee Daniels' The Butler" sneaks up on you.
At first glance, Daniels' film, about a White House butler (an outstanding Forest Whitaker) who serves eight U.S. presidents, seems like a kind of civil-rights variation on "Forrest Gump."
And there's some truth to that first impression, and to the rather simplistic version of 20th-century history depicted here.
But after a while, the beauty of Whitaker's understated performance starts to sink in. It's a balm to the cutting obscenities of stubborn racism and violence relived here, whose vile legacy the film makes clear. The sheer pile-up of ugliness is heartbreaking; a few tears are likely to be shed before the film is over.
Add another powerful performance by Oprah Winfrey, so great in 1985's "The Color Purple" and equally good in a different way here, and "The Butler" transcends its shortcomings.
Whitaker plays Cecil Gaines, a fictionalized (and renamed) version of a White House butler who did serve eight presidents. The movie version of his life covers the 20th century and early 21st. Born on a cotton plantation whose dangers he witnesses first hand, Gaines escapes, in part through the quiet help of the owner (Vanessa Redgrave), who, after a tragedy, puts him to work inside the house.
She gives him advice both demeaning and useful when it comes to service: The room should feel empty when you're in it.
He works his way from a small hotel to a nicer place in Washington, D.C. A White House aide overhears him giving a somewhat namby-pamby answer to a White customer's question about the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education case in 1954 and Gaines soon is working for Dwight Eisenhower (Robin Williams, the first in a line of big-name actors doing presidential cameos). He does his job well, which is to say silently, almost invisibly. Yet Gaines has a penchant for being in the room when presidents are making fateful decisions, or at least thinking out loud about them.
He works long hours, extra hours, at his home away from home. It's in his real home where things are more challenging. His wife, Gloria (Winfrey), is a prideful alcoholic frustrated at being left alone most of the time, raising her two sons alone. Their oldest son, Louis (David Oyelowo), goes off to college and becomes first a member of the Freedom Riders, then the Black Panthers, giving us a rather convenient inside look at both movements.
Gaines is appalled. His has been a life of subservience, not activism, which in turn humiliates Louis. Yet no less an authority than Martin Luther King Jr. (Nelsan Ellis) points out the hidden subversion in Gaines' work.
We see or hear about most of the watershed events of the civil-rights movement as Cecil works for Kennedy (James Marsden), Johnson (Liev Schreiber, hilariously over the top and probably still not as profane as the real man), Nixon (John Cusack) and Reagan (Alan Rickman). Each president will struggle with civil-rights issues, and each will come to know and confide in Gaines.
These scenes are alternately interesting and amusing (as is the sight of Jane Fonda playing Nancy Reagan). But the movie's heart lies in the Gaines home, with Cecil's relationship with Gloria. Whitaker and Winfrey have a wonderful chemistry. They're able to capture the struggles of a marriage that is battered by events and circumstances both within and out of their control. And Oyelowo gives as good as he gets as the headstrong Louis.
The supporting cast includes Lenny Kravitz and Cuba Gooding Jr. as fellow butlers, and Terrence Howard as a conniving neighbor. We get a welcome look inside Black homes of the '60s and '70s, where we see love, anger and everything else you'd find anywhere else, but also the pain of discrimination. People are people, but Gaines, his friends and family are forced to live their lives differently.
The movie takes us to Barack Obama's election in 2008, by which time Gaines and his family will have changed considerably. Too conveniently? Perhaps. But by now we're invested in them.
Make no mistake, Daniels is gunning for awards here; the movie has that sheen, that Big Important Feel. But the performances keep it grounded. Let someone else decide winners and losers. Just enjoy "The Butler" for the sometimes-moving experience it is.

Bank Services More Important Than Interest Rate
A few weeks ago I asked for your opinion of the best high yield savings account and the one thing I learned something very interesting. With interest rates as low as they are, with many banks offering less than 2%, it's the other services and amenities that dictate which bank you'll work with.

The game is only part of the fun for avid and amateur Super Bowl watchers: There's also big-name singers on the field, buzzy commercials between plays and the joy of watching the game with countless friends and strangers at pubs and restaurants.
Kickoff is 5:25 p.m. from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The game airs on FOX, cable channel 13, with pregame festivities kicking off at 2 p.m. (Should weather require a rescheduling, NFL officials have said the game could be played any time from Friday to Monday.)
Here's a roundup of the extra fun on tap when the football is not in motion:
Official entertainment
Pop star Bruno Mars and rock gods Red Hot Chili Peppers will join forces for the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show.
Mars, the 2013 Billboard artist of the year, is an 18-time Grammy Award nominee and on Sunday won Best Pop Vocal Album for his second album, "Unorthodox Jukebox."
The Chili Peppers have sold more than 60 million albums and have five multi-platinum LPs. They were named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
Both acts are preparing for potential cold weather.
"I'm not going to know until I get there ... I'm not trying to hype myself up too much," Mars told The Associated Press in December. "I know it's going to be cold, and I just got to face it."
Additionally, opera superstar Renee Fleming will sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and hip-hop royalty Queen Latifah will sing "America the Beautiful."
A certain segment of Super Bowl watchers have absolutely no interest in whether the Seattle Seahawks or the Denver Broncos will win: They're only in for the 30-second spots between downs.
This year's commercial lineup finds advertisers paying more than $4 million per spot.
Among the ads already getting buzz: one for Bud Light featuring actor Don Cheadle and a llama, a crisis for the Yellow M&M, a new ad for pistachios starring Stephen Colbert, an Audi spot with singer Sarah McLachlan, David Beckham's latest underwear ad and a "Full House" reunion for Oikos yogurt.

CelebrateErie expands art options
An arty presence at CelebrateErie will be evident throughout the weekend at four main locations -- more than in the recent past.
With visual arts in the Kids Zone, at Celebrate Diversity and at artisan tents, the aesthetic spirit truly permeates from one end of the festival grounds to the other.
It all kicks off today from 5 to 9 p.m., when the Artist Colony pops up in Perry Square in conjunction with Taste of Erie. The stellar roster includes Evan Everhart, Tom Ferraro, Mary Kay Geary, Ed Grout, Brian Pardini, Joyce Perowicz, Fran Schanz, David Seitzinger and Randy Roberts.
Instead of folding up shop after one night as in past years, the Artist Colony will shift to the lobby of City Hall and continue throughout the weekend. So, art lovers who can't make it downtown tonight won't be out of luck; they can view (or buy) art from noon to 7 p.m. from Friday through Sunday.
City Hall will also debut a 13-foot-long mosaic created by 13 local veterans associated with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Each panel was made by a veteran as part of the recovery process, and each vet could use whatever media or materials he chose.
"There are masks, poetry, dog tags -- they're all different," explained Jill Beck, the mayoral assistant and CelebrateErie coordinator. "They wanted to get their stories out into the community, and this is the perfect way to do that."
It wouldn't be CelebrateErie without the Chalk Walk. Forty areas measuring 10 by 12 feet will be gridded off in the block of State Street between Seventh and Eighth streets. Within those areas, local artists -- who were paired with sponsors -- will create chalk masterpieces right before your eyes.
Artists will begin chalking today at 5 p.m. Visitors can vote for their favorite works; the winners will be announced on the main stage before Cheap Trick plays on Saturday at 8 p.m.
Beck said artists submit sketches of their ideas, and some become altered during the process. But, she added, "You might be seeing some Disney characters like Maleficent, an American eagle, whimsical wildlife, and one artist is planning on a portrait of Alice." That latter would be Erie's Ann B. Davis, the "Brady Bunch" star who recently died.
New for 2014 is an artistic experience at the Boston Store in the former Under the Clock restaurant space.
"We're very grateful that the managers of the Boston Store have made this space available to us," Beck said. "Its central location is perfect, and it provides another venue for artists and other organizations to exhibit works, hold performances and make information available."
Among the groups scheduled there: Erie Art & Culture, the Northwestern Pennsylvania Artist Association, Life Through Music, the Erie Chamber Orchestra (with its instrument petting zoo), the Lake Erie Ballet, the Film Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, PACA, poet Chuck Joy and the Erie Art Company.
In the street level windows will be displays by Tom Ferraro and Ed Grout about a H.A.N.D.S. art residency program, and Jen Dennehy with info about Mid Day Dance Break programs in Perry Square.
The Boston Store space will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Window Types
Looking to install a window that can open fully? A casement window may be just what you're looking for. Want a window in your basement? Try a hopper window. There are lots of stylish types of windows to choose from and local contractors in your area to provide estimates.
Here is more information on average window replacement prices.
Awning Windows
Pros - Awning windows are designed to provide light and breeze. They're great for bedrooms and other areas that need to maintain privacy but still let some light in. Awnings can be opened slightly to allow ventilation. They can be positioned in a variety of places: next to other windows, arranged in columns, or placed above large patio doors to create a wall of light and fresh air.
Cons - Screens for awning windows are set on the inside, which can mean that all the dirt and dust that normally falls into the sash makes its way onto your floors instead.
Casement Windows
Pros - Casement windows open outward for light, fresh air and side breezes. They're tightly sealed for energy efficiency and great for hard-to-reach places, such as over sinks and appliances in the kitchen. Casements crank open, as opposed to sliding up and down, making them easier to maneuver.
Cons - If you're moving into an older home, check on the stability of your casement hinges and hardware. Though casements are usually tough to break into, faulty or rusty hardware increases your risk factor. Consult with a professional for replacement parts or quality new casements.
Double Hung Windows
Pros - Double hung windows are chosen for their unique style, ease of access and superior ventilation capabilities. The top of the window can be opened while the bottom remains closed - great for kids' rooms. Double hung windows can go practically anywhere in your home. They're perfect for kitchens, offices and bedrooms.
Cons - Double hung windows tend to leak more air than other windows. And keep in mind that only half of this window opens up, whereas different types can open completely.
Picture Windows
Pros - Picture windows create unobstructed views of the outdoors. They're best in areas where ventilation isn't a big concern. Think about installing them high on the walls of dark rooms and hallways for infinitely better lighting. In combination with patio doors or open-and-close windows, picture windows bring the perfect balance of light and ventilation.
Cons - These windows are for looks only. And the large expanse of glass can make them more vulnerable to breakage.
Bay Windows
Pros - Bay windows create an open, peaceful feel indoors. Their multiple views allow light to stream in from different angles. Plus, the sides of the window can be opened for air circulation. Bay windows dress up any home with uniqueness and style. Replacing a flat window with a bay can completely change the amount of light that room receives. They're primarily used for kitchens, but can also add character to family rooms and master bedrooms.
Cons - Only the sides of bay windows open and typically don't come with screens, so incoming pests could be a problem.
Jalousie Windows
Jalousies are made of glass slats set in metal clips that can be opened and closed in unison. Also called a louvered window, a jalousie is made like a glass shutter. This type of window is manually rotated to open or close the overlapping panels as required, and can be opened by degrees to control how much air or light passes through. Jalousie windows are best suited for areas with year-round comfortable climates. They help cool a home, but are impossible to seal, making it difficult to keep heat and A/C air inside and extreme weather out.
Hopper Windows
These popular windows are most often installed in basements. The hopper window is basically a casement window flipped on its side. The entire pane tilts inward to open, allowing for maximum ventilation. Hopper windows can make privacy and home decor an issue. Because they tilt into the room, blinds, shades and other window dressings are difficult to use in conjunction with hopper windows. Their tilt designs also makes them a poor choice for ventilation on a rainy day; water will drip right into the room. Also, they're usually placed in basements, so there's an added security risk for any windows installed at ground level.
We hope you've found what you're looking for. The next step should be to consult with a professional for quick, same-day installations. Find a local window contractor near you.

This Week in WTF?! May 25, 2008
Jack Thompson, we hardly knew ye.
This week: The legal community finally realizes how big a dick J___ T_______ is; Hollywood proves it doesn't know what a Mediterranean person looks like; irony reaches a new level when a Grand Theft Auto IV voice actor becomes, himself, a whore; and I examine the best videogame easter eggs of all time (hint: only one of them is real). Enjoy, chumps!
J___ T_______: Judge Recommends 'Guilty' on 27 Counts
In the most Schadenfreude-packed story of the week (perhaps the year?), the universe was brought a little closer to harmony when infamous game-hating lawyer and lunatic monster J___ T_______ received a verdict of guilty on 27 out of 31 charges of misconduct. (I write J___ T_______, by the way, because I believe to say his full name is to invite horrors upon yourself you cannot possibly imagine.) I suppose you could file this one under "Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone," but perhaps a more accurate description would be, "If you're going to choose 'gigantic public douche' as a career, at least know how to do it well." (Trust me, I try hard to follow that credo every week.)
And J___ T_______ is indeed the biggest douche to ever practice law in the state of Florida. Any reasonable gamer would already knows this. He is a man who once said of the former head of the ESA that "he makes Saddam Hussein look like a post-reformed Pinocchio"; who once compared the sales of the GTA series on Sony's hardware to the surprise Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor; and, perhaps in his most despicable charade as a human being, who once promised $10,000 to charity if someone made a game of his insanely violent design, and didn't pay when someone did. It's enough to make you wonder what took the Florida Bar so long.
If you need any further proof of the "quality" of J___ T_______ as a lawyer, you need only look at this honest-to-God actual email exchange between him and I from a few years back:
From: Kris Pigna
Subject:A sincere inquiry
I was just wondering, Mr. T_______ ...why didn't your mother love you?
Oh yeah. She must have been too busy loving me.
From: "J___ T_______"
Subject: Re: A sincere inquiry
Wow, my long-lost Dad! How you doing, Daddy?
Reader, only a complete and disgraceful hack would actually take time out of his day to engage in such clear idiocy.
Jake Gyllenhaal Cast as the Prince of Persia
Say what you want about his pretty-boy demeanor, but you have to admit Jake Gyllenhaal is a fine actor (see: Brokeback Mountain, Zodiac, Rendition). He is not, however, Persian. Dude's, like, effing Swedish or something. I thought I should mention this, just in case director Mike Newell and producer Jerry Bruckheimer actually didn't realize it. This wouldn't be uncommon -- I'm sure we all remember when producers didn't realize that Tom Cruise wasn't Japanese when he was cast in The Last Samurai, that Daniel Day Lewis wasn't a Native American when he was cast in Last of the Mohicans, and that Richard Gere wasn't a Mothman when he was cast in The Mothman Prophecies.
Seriously people, this is like making a movie called "Revenge of the German Rex," and casting it with a Cornish Rex. I mean, what the f*** Disney?
...What? I really like cats.
GTA4 Voice Actors Complain of Union Follies
Sure, the $100,000 pocketed by the voice of Niko Bellic ain't chump change. But when GTA4 made $310 million in one fricken day, you can't help but feel a little bad for the guy -- especially when so much of the praise the game received revolved around Niko's characterization.
But screw him. The part of this story I found most interesting was Jason "Roman Bellic" Zumwalt's ad to rent himself out to paying customers. Now, being the ever-inventive jerk that I am, I've thought of a number of useful possibilities for your very own videogame voice-actor. You could have him:
1) Do your homework.
2) Beat up your bullies at school
3) Bully other kids for you
4) Call Jack Thompson and haze him in his Roman voice
5) Enter him into an underground kumite without telling him
Okay, not exactly useful, but it sure would be entertaining, wouldn't it?
Jackass Jockeys in Company of Heroes -- No Joke
As incredibly awesome as it is to discover donkeys in Company of Heroes, I'm going to have to stop just shy of calling it the best eater egg ever. That title will, in my opinion, forever go to the secret Ronald Reagan boss in the Legend of Zelda.
And some credit must also go to Jake Gyllenhaal in the original Prince of Persia. Didn't make much sense at the time, but it seems astoundingly prescient now, huh?

"Reader, only a complete and disgraceful hack would actually take time out of his day to engage in such clear idiocy." True, true... but what about the guy who takes time out of his day to engage in idiocy with a complete and disgraceful hack? In other words, what about you?
misterwilliamsPosted: May 27, 2008 12:00AM PST by grizzlor
Honestly misterwilliams, if our usernames were the only thing you didn't like about our arguments, then thanks a lot. I'll take that as: you have no real rebuttal to our actual point. You seem to support useless insults though, why not just crack out another shitty mom joke next time?
Re: MiloPo, vanfarley88Posted: May 27, 2008 12:00AM PST by escaping_burger
Seriously. And Richard Gere is actually 1/4 Mothman, which at least made his casting make a little sense.
Umm...Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by bobaganush22
I think he knew Tom Cruise wasn't actually supposed to be Japanese in that movie.
bargh! ! !Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by BreakfastPills
What a fun article just built around slamming Jack Thompson.
Iron EPosted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by MisterWilliams
I like how the comments on Pigna's immaturity are from one guy whose username is a "clever" disguising of a popular Sam Jackson curse, and another whose username is a She-Ra villain.
Jack Thompson 1...Posted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by Ferramba
I have to agree with grizzlor, Jack handled it really well. In fact, I have to say I like him a little bit now. That was just a great come back. And how can anyone claim JT was being childish? He was just responding to an insult. It's like when some asshole wants to bad mouth you, then you bad mouth them in return, and yet they get offended for your rudeness.
brilliant? uhh not quitePosted: May 26, 2008 12:00AM PST by grizzlor
That email you sent to Jack Thomspon actually shows how ridiculous YOU are. I totally agree with a previous commenter, you claim to be a legit Video Game journalist but pull off that kind of garbage? You're definitely not helping. Now I'm no fan of Jack Thompson, but I think he handled your childish email quite well. You lobbed up probably the most tired insult of all time and he just sarcastically hit it back at you. Sorry but that's one for JT.
WowsPosted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by periodical
So many points are missed in this comment section. I wish I could think of a your mom joke about missing the point...
[Edit] No sympathy for the obliviousPosted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by K1LLSWITCH
I don't feel bad what so ever for the voice actor of Roman Belic. If any of the voice actors of GTAIV are complaining for being under paid then they shouldn't of signed the contract. Everybody knows that GTAIV would be one of the highest grossing games of 2008.

Actually...Posted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by vanfarley88
Tom Cruise and Daniel Day-Lewis were both supposed to be white in the Last Samurai/ Mohican. They were outsiders who were taken in by their respective cultures. It bugs me when people who satirize things do it for the wrong reason, good article otherwise though.
Really?Posted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by Crimson-Hrist
JT actually said that to you? What is he? 10?
ugh...Posted: May 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by mafakka
your comments about JT and your email to him are the kinds of things that are keeping the videogame industry from being taken seriously. You, claiming to be a videogame journalist, show no professionalism for this field. Emailing JT and implying that you slept with his mom? Come on! We did that kind of stuff in junior high. I'm not saying I'm a fan of JT, because I'm not. But just as we all get tired of hearing him preach, we're tired of hearing people like you act like a 13 year old and insult/threat/prank him and think its the funniest thing in the world. It's OLD. Grow up a little.

A man remained in critical condition in Amarillo after an accident Saturday near Darrouzett that killed another man.
Corey Chance Barnett, 29, remained in critical condition at Northwest Texas Hospital, officials there said Sunday.
Department of Public Safety officials said Barnett and Shane Allen Vela, 32, of Perryton, were driving on State Highway 15 about 9:30 a.m. when their Chevy pickup left the roadway about two miles west of Darrouzett.
The vehicle went behind a guardrail, then bounced off one tree before striking a second. Vela, who was not wearing a seat belt, was partially ejected and killed, DPS said.
Barnett was behind the wheel of the truck. He was taken to Ochiltree General Hospital and then flown to Northwest Texas Hospital with internal injuries.
DPS said it was not known if he was wearing a seat belt.

Kevin Magdon is manager of business travel sales at the DoubleTree hotel at Carrier Circle. Business travel is crucial for the success of his company and others like it. It also shows him how Central New York businesses export and compete globally.
"The amount of international business travel we have coming in to our market has quadrupled -- it's unbelievable," Magdon said. "I'd love to say it's just our hotel, but that's most certainly not the case. All you have to do is sit in our lobby and hear people speaking."
Magdon has worked in the hotel industry for most of his adult life, holding a variety of positions and leading as many as 70 people. He also volunteers his time on the boards of Leadership Greater Syracuse, FOCUS Greater Syracuse, the International Center of Syracuse and the Guardian Angel Society.
Were you in leadership roles growing up?
I was a late bloomer when it comes to leadership.
During my 20s, I got into hotels from the get-go. I was in roles progressing from a supervisor to an assistant manager, to manager.
As far as diving in, especially to community leadership, it wasn't until I was just about 30 that I felt a flame within me roar up.
I had people throughout my life that had influenced me. It just didn't take hold until I was more mature.
Who influenced you?
A multitude of people have come in and out of my life.
Leadership is always evolving. You don't read a book, you don't go to a course and walk out a great leader. It's a culmination of experiences paired with what's already inside of you.
I would start with Fr. Joseph Champlin (parish priest and author of more than 50 books who died in 2008) and his unbelievable ability to see the good in people. He's my connection to the Guardian Angel Society. He definitely lit that spark.
Doug Snavely, my former general manager who was here at this property for 14 years, had a great sense of community, of family. The whole idea of empowerment with employees came from him. He's been gone about four years, and it still radiates throughout this building.
More recently, Chuckie Holstein (executive director of FOCUS Greater Syracuse) has been a strong influence. Let me tell you, she commands a room. Her passion is just global in this community, every aspect of it. The opportunity to work with her has really impacted who I am and my definition of what a leader can be.
My father, John Magdon, was on the Syracuse police force for 30 years. He retired as a captain. He was very dedicated to his job, but equally dedicated to us as a family. His great willingness to have balance was a huge impact. That's part of leadership, too, instilling that in people.
A boss will tell you gotta work 15 hours a day. A proper leader will tell you that you have to have that balance. A leader will never tell you that you've gotta keep working harder and harder. A leader will say there's time to take care of yourself and your family.
Elaborate on that distinction between "boss" and "leader."
To me, being a boss has nothing to do with being a leader. It's not about title. Leadership can come from anybody at any level.
Part of my mentorship of people over the years has been: Be the leader you are and everything else will come.
For example, our front desk staff has to balance all types of things -- technology, customer service, process accounting. My suggestion to them is: If this were your business, how would you conduct yourselves with your clients? How would you look at problem solving?
It blossoms the leadership from within, rather than holding them back with a title.
If you tell someone all they're going to do is wash dishes, and you don't tell them the types of groups coming in and the people who are going to be in this building or give them an experience at the front desk, how do you expect them to ever have a larger picture of how their role fits?
Not only is their position better, but they can contribute to the organization as a whole.
Tell me more about getting people to think as an owner.
We're all faced with challenges, obstacles or opportunities. There are a thousand little things that we encounter every day that we can do better.
A manager or somebody with a larger focus might think they know how to do those things better. But sometimes it's the people right in there doing it. They're the professionals in that given area. Why not bring them into the mindset they know this better than anybody?
In the hiring process, hire for attitude and openness to learn.
If I feel empowered, but I make a mistake, what should happen?
If you create an environment of empowerment, if you empower somebody, you can't hammer on them after the fact. You just crush any possibility of them wanting to make a decision going forward.
We've all been there. Our boss or somebody has said, "Go ahead make your own decision." Then you make it, and they're like, "Why'd you make that decision?"
It comes down to how you have that conversation afterward.
That's part of leadership -- being able to have those types of critical conversations.
You're trying to turn mistakes into learning experiences.
Absolutely. Mistakes provide us with a learning opportunity.
Business travel is so important to your company, it must give you a sense of the local economy.
Speaking very locally, Syracuse has been doing surprisingly well.
Syracuse is semi-insulated from the extreme ups and the extreme downs.
When we had challenges with the economy back in 2008 and previously in 2000, of course we saw companies that were hard hit. People were laid off, just like elsewhere, but we didn't see it to the extreme that other markets have seen.
On the flip side, when the economy started back, they might be seeing double digit growth elsewhere. Syracuse sees a steady 3 to 4 percent.
We haven't had a major spark for quite a while. We have things happening here, whether it's the buy-local movement, Destiny, a lot of different things happening downtown, some new companies that are moving in or existing companies that are expanding.
We (the U.S.) have long been importing goods. Certainly we see some global travel from people selling their products in our area. But more than anything, these people are here supporting businesses based in Syracuse that are exporting products around the world.
My feeling is that we're much more diversified than we ever were. Companies that are small and nimble are able to adapt much better to the global economy.
I'm very encouraged by the next generation. I look at some of the 20-somethings, the risks that they're willing take. They're opening new and exciting businesses. They're embracing technology and innovating. I see that ramping up in our area.
"CNY Conversations" feature Q&A interviews with local citizens about leadership, success, and innovation. The conversations are condensed and edited. They also run regularly on Sunday in The Post-Standard's Business section. To suggest a person for CNY Conversations, contact Stan Linhorst at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In a small apartment, every practice session is something of a recital, and I didn't always want the guys upstairs and downstairs (and to my right and left) to listen. I was also concerned about bothering my neighbors -- I like to play late, and didn't want to keep anyone awake.
The Baldwin upright my aunt was offering had no headphone jack, of course. But I took it, figuring I'd deal with playing loud.
I had a pair of simple panel curtains from my last apartment that I'd been trying to find a use for. Mike took one of those, folded it in two, then cut the fabric a few times to help it fit better. We secured it with a little masking tape, and voila -- no matter how hard I played, I got a muffled sound.
In the end, I decided it was too muffled, and made a new, 1-ply insert. The sound is right in the middle volume-wise. Almost as good as playing with headphones.

Regional Planning in Northeastern Illinois: A New Direction
There's a new regional organization in Chicago — the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, or CMAP. This agency is a consolidation of the Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) and the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC). CMAP combines these separate transportation and land-use planning agencies for northeastern Illinois into a single entity designed to protect natural resources and minimize traffic congestion for Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties.
Randall S. Blankenhorn, CMAP executive director, spoke about how the merger came about, how the long-range plans for the two previously separate entities are being reconciled, and how CMAP envisions the future of our seven-county region.

September 2, 2010 - Buck Frank
Little buzz here at Heinz Field because of these reasons:
1. It's not just a preseason game -- it's the final preseason game. That means the stars will see very little action.
2. The Pitt Panthers open their season tonight in Utah.
3. It's extremely HOT.
These games are just for the hard-core fans. Here is what I'll be looking at tonight:
--Two ex-Penn Staters, Scott Paxson and Sean McHugh, are most likely seeing their final action for the Steelers. Paxson would have to beat out Chris Hoke for the backup nose tackle job, and McHugh is behind David Johnson for the tight end/fullback job.
--It will be interesting to see how CB Keenan Lewis bounces back from his lost opportunity in Denver. He got chewed out on national TV by Mike Tomlin, then smashed a sign outside the team's locker room. If he's going to stick in the NFL, now is the time to show something.
--WR Tyler Grisham should get a final chance at earning a spot. The 5-foot-11 second-year man has looked good but most likely will lose a spot to Antonio Brown or Stefan Logan. It would be nice to see him return a punt or two tonight.
--Charlie Batch has survived NFL cutdown days in the past with strong showings in the fourth preseason game. He should be playing the entire second half (if he doesn't get hurt) tonight. Ben Roethlisberger won't count toward the Steelers' 53-man roster during his suspension, so Batch could make a case to keep three QBs during Big Ben's absence.
--Jonathan Dwyer had a strong showing against Denver but received little praise from Tomlin. He has a final chance to get out of Tomlin's doghouse.
--Special teams aces Anthony Madison and Patrick Bailey are fighting a tough battle to make the team because of draft picks like Jason Worilds, Thaddeus Gibson and Crezdon Butler. Madison and Bailey are the types of players you don't realize what you have until they're gone.

Hi Expert,
I am a fresh man to BO Ex
I found one strange issue during creating BO Ex index
I have one cube: A and it has one BWA index long time ago.
Data volume in this cube is almost 50000000
Now I build BO Ex index for this cube.
The job running for almost 3 hours and finished without error.
But when I create Infopsace in infoview and check result, system shows error message PS50004
Strange thing is that I delete the index both for BWA and BO Ex for this cube then rebuild them, result looks ok
I mean this infospace works correct
Could you kindly let me know whether you face similar isse before?
If yes, what's the root cause
Thanks and best regards
Alex yang
you might have created a wrong index.
Hi Sir,
Could you kindly let me know how to check whether this index is correct or not
Because I run the RSDDTPS in system direclty withou creating any additional action
Then job finished without error but BO Ex index cannot be used
This situation does not occur for all cubes
It is only for cubes which contain larger data
Thanks and best regards
Alex yang
Are you logging into Explorer with a SAP user that has proper authorization as defined under RSDDTPS?
So you are not able to create an information space on the BWA index?
Hi George,
Sorry... I do not catch your key point
In my example, I use same ID to create infospace
The first time, system shows erroe message
But second time, it works
The only differnece is that
In first time, I create BO Ex index directly
In second time, I detele original BWA and rebuild BWA and BO Ex index as well
For this action, I still use same ID
Thanks and best regards
Alex yang
Hi Expert,
Do you have any ideas on this issue?
Best regards
Alex yang
Hi Expert,
Do you have any ideas on this issue?
Best regards
Alex yang
hard to say, PS 50004 is a bit of a generic error. What version of BO Enterprise, Explorer and BWA Revision? Do you have an open ticket with SAP? it may have to go to BWA team.
You may need to move to the latest BWA revision first and update Explorer to latest patch too, also try to have the SAP User 0BI_ALL authorization to see.
Enable the Indexing Server Logging in CMC and take a look at the log for more info.
But if you rebuilt the BWA index and Information Space then you are ok now?
Hi George,
After rebuild BWA index and BO Ex index, it works well not (No need to rebuild InfoSpace)
We found that if activation job executes for a long time, it is high possibility that the result is not correct
Thanks and best regards
Alex yang

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is fanning the flames for new sanction legislation against Iran, a stance that needs to at least be considered by Congress and President Obama.
In an interview on Fox News, the South Carolina native said a "bad deal" with Iran will allow the country to produce a nuclear weapon that could eventually lead to war.
International diplomats are currently aiming to finalize a comprehensive agreement in Switzerland that would establish permanent limits on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
It's certainly a touchy issue, one that has domestic and global ramifications.
Iran has asserted that it has the right to enrich its uranium, a source that could be used for energy production as well as to produce weapons-grade material.
Graham jointly wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, encouraging him to not make a deal with Iran that would "roll back economic sanctions without also rolling back progress towards nuclear weapons capability."
That's a sensible idea, but one that has to be approached without overly antagonizing Iran.
It was the election of Hassan Rouhani – who appears to be more moderate than his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – that somewhat changed Iran's tone on the nuclear issue.
We don't want them to pack up their bags and walk away from the negotiating table, but we also don't want to make any kind of significant concessions merely in the name of diplomacy.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll indicated that there's public approval for a deal with Iran, even if it means removing some restrictions that have actually pressed Iran to negotiate.
The ultimate goal should be to avoid another costly war in the Middle East. While there's certainly a reason former President George W. Bush referred to Iran as a member of the "axis of evil," along with Iraq and North Korea, a sensible, effective negotiation could generate benefits for the whole region.
President Obama has reportedly asked legislators to hold off on voting for sanctions, hoping it would give negotiators some breathing room to reach a deal on Iranian's nuclear program.
Hopefully, diplomats will cobble together a solution that smartly considers all sides of the issue.
However, there are legitimate fears that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.
We don't want to realize at the last minute that members of the new Iranian leadership are sheep in wolves' clothing.
While the country's nuclear program may be for legitimate, peaceful purposes, concerns from Graham and other senators shouldn't be minimized.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Dogs won't be allowed on Volusia County Beaches after all.
The Volusia County Council said no last week to a proposal to temporarily allow leashed dogs on the beaches. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports discussion about the issue touched on parasites, bites and possible confrontations between dog owners and people who would rather visit a dog-free beach.
Two weeks ago, the council agreed 6-1 to draft a test ordinance that would have allowed leashed dogs on everywhere on the beach. It would have been in place for up to three months.
But after hearing from the county's health department, federal officials and residents, the council decided to ditch the proposal. The vote was 5-2.
County Chair Jason Davis and Councilman Josh Wagner, who proposed the idea, were the dissenting voters. Wagner has pursued a plan to allow dogs on the beach for five years.
Several councilmembers feared turning Volusia County's beach patrol into a puppy patrol.
County health director Dr. Bonnie Sorensen recommended against the proposal due to threats of hookworms, roundworms and even rabies.
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service opposed the plan based on its potential impact on shorebirds and sea turtle nests.

City asked to stop developing on the Wedge
New density calculations on the way
by Jeff Switzer
WOODINVILLE--Residents of the Wedge, the self-described island area along SR-522, worked in vain to have two developments there stopped a few months ago. Now they have asked for a halt to more development until the zoning code is reviewed.
Cathy Betz, an active party who opposed the Stone Hill Meadow and Stone Hill Village projects that will bring 32 homes to four acres on the Wedge, approached the Woodinville City Council in January requesting a moratorium. Betz cited the domino effect which began with the townhouses along the freeway.
The area, developed at two or three units per acre, is zoned R-6. The city allows bonus densities for affordable units, which will make the development appear like R-9 next to R-3.
Ray Sturtz, planning director for Woodinville, said a parallel SEPA review and forthcoming ordinance for density calculations will prevent the need for a moratorium with probably the same results. "Staff had anticipated the issue and had the process underway," said Sturtz. He said a public hearing on density calculations is planned for Feb. 24.
If approved by the City Council, units per acre will no longer be calculated on the gross acreage, but rather on the net acreage after streets, on-site recreation, and storm water detention ponds are subtracted. These three components tend to amount to one-third of the area of any given project and, consequently, one-third of the units.
"I'm happy with the decision we came up with," said Deputy Mayor Don Brocha. "Moratoriums are very attractive because they relieve the council from having to get creative and solve the real problem at hand. It is attractive to the public (and therefore the council) because it promises to stop change. A moratorium is a false promise, though; it only postpones change. Our dealing with the problem at hand instead was the right thing to do."
Betz also expressed concern regarding traffic mitigations and dealings with the City of Bothell. "It all comes back to density and traffic," she wrote the council. "The Wedge has limited accessibility by road. It also has the challenge of high school drivers and unfettered growth on the Bothell side."
Sturtz indicated that, at the council's direction, Public Works has been meeting with Bothell regularly on development and traffic issues. "The meetings with Bothell are already proving fruitful," he said, noting that restriping and minor changes to road configurations are planned for some of the bordering areas.
"I felt like they were very responsive," Betz said after the council's discussion. "They really realized that this needed to move quickly."
Betz said the moratorium was not intended to stop the Stone Hill projects, but rather prevent other areas from suffering the same fate. "I'm definitely pleased they're changing their zoning ordinance on density calculations. It'll benefit not only the Wedge, but other Woodinville neighborhoods as sewers come through," she said.
But the planning department will be making sure the tweaks to the code don't interfere with implementing the Growth Management Act.
"We still have those allocations and major assignments we have to achieve under the GMA," Sturtz said. "We don't want to make changes in the zoning code that provide a roadblock to achieving those goals."
Robert Margoshes, one of the Wedge residents who had appealed the Hearing Examiner's decision to the City Council, said he remains somewhat skeptical, but heartened by the turn of events. "[Councilmember] Barbara Solberg suggested the calculations apply citywide, and I agree fully," said Margoshes. "Just because we had a dilemma in the Wedge doesn't mean it couldn't happen somewhere else."

Poor parents steal baby diapers
They are such a hot commodity, pharmacies and stores sometimes keep them behind glass.
No, this is not a story about illicit pills or drug abuse. It's about disposable diapers, an item the poor need desperately.
Researchers are starting to realize "diaper need" not only causes obvious health problems for children, but also leads to depression in moms and poor social and developmental outcomes for the child -- even child abuse.
It is estimated that disposable diapers can cost up to $100 a month for one baby.
Last summer a study in the medical journal Pediatrics identified "diaper need" among the poor as a growing health and psychological risk for babies and their mothers.
The study determined that as many as 30 percent of poor parents in New Haven, Conn., struggled to afford diapers for their infants. It further linked diaper need as a factor causing maternal depression, which can also lead to poor outcomes for children.

MORGANTOWN - In some ways, the legendary Jerry West found that working on his soon-to-be-published autobiography has been a "pleasing process."
It will be a candid book of his life, revealing a lot about himself that many people don't know. He tells about how he felt playing basketball at West Virginia University (1956-60) and then 14 years with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.
The book, titled "West by West," is scheduled for release this fall.
Article Photos
West, now 72, talks about "winning" in basketball - which he dearly loved and enjoyed. He admittedly is not perfect and he has a lot of flaws.
"Those are the things that drove me in my life and, frankly, they still drive me to some degree," the college and pro Hall of Famer said while at WVU recently.
"But I think it is a pretty revealing book about how I was focused playing at WVU and the difficulty I had coming to school and eventually, I was like a social misfit."
There not only will be a lot about that in his book but also some basketball and his incredibly outstanding career.
West talks about the people who have helped shape his life, people for whom he has great admiration, and also some people that he didn't care much for.
"I think the book will be a real good insight into what was on my mind all of the time, and there will be some things that have happened to me," he said.
He likes the "West by West" title. One reason is that it leaves no doubt that it is Jerry's own, authorized autobiography.
What's more, he was named to 14 NBA All-Star games to play for the West. So the name West was on the front and back of his jersey.
"I'm probably the only player in the history of basketball that had West on both the front and back. I did put the uniform on backwards a few times," he quipped.
West hopes that people will look at the book and say, "He had a pretty crazy life."
He continued, "In some ways I am shy and some ways I am not, but I am more self-assuring than I was years ago."
Old-timers knew West best as "Mr. Clutch," because he always wanted the ball when a game was on the line, whether it was at WVU or in the NBA. But he said some other nicknames weren't nearly as flattering.
One of those was the tag of "Zeke from Cabin Creek." Jerry interpreted that as implying that he is "a hick from West Virginia."
He said he gladly would accept that. But he doesn't think West Virginians have anything to apologize for because they are great people - not hicks.
He added, "And criticism doesn't bother me like it used to."

|Classical Hodgkin lymphomas (cHLs) contain small numbers of neoplastic Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells within an extensive inflammatory infiltrate that includes abundant T helper (Th)-2 and T regulatory (Treg) cells. The skewed nature of the T cell infiltrate and the lack of an effective host antitumor immune response suggest that RS cells use potent mechanisms to evade immune attack. In a screen for T cell-inhibitory molecules in cHL, we found that RS cells selectively overexpressed the immunoregulatory glycan-binding protein, galectin-1 (Gal1), through an AP1-dependent enhancer. In cocultures of activated T cells and Hodgkin cell lines, RNAi-mediated blockade of RS cell Gal1 increased T cell viability and restored the Th1/Th2 balance. In contrast, Gal1 treatment of activated T cells favored the secretion of Th2 cytokines and the expansion of CD4+CD25high FOXP3+ Treg cells. These data directly implicate RS cell Gal1 in the development and maintenance of an immunosuppressive Th2/Treg-skewed microenvironment in cHL and provide the molecular basis for selective Gal1 expression in RS cells. Thus, Gal1 represents a potential therapeutic target for restoring immune surveillance in cHL.
