VAGA Lends a Helping Paw to GPA-Greater Orlando
In this continued troubling state of the economy, our friends at GPA-GO continue to need our help and support.
They can not afford to fill their crates to capacity due to the rising cost of vetting, feeding and caring for a full kennel. We are proud to say we are
now in our seventh year of
renting crates at the GPA Orlando Adoption Kennel so more kennels can be filled with greyhounds waiting for a forever home.
VAGA has committed to
financial responsibility for the care of these greyhounds
until they are adopted. These expenses include all vet work,
food, meds and anything else that may be needed. For example,
the cost to spay or neuter, with a dental, and vaccinations
may cost upwards of $200 to $300 dollars not including unplanned
expenses such as extractions, x-rays, blood work, or medication. Many times the greyhounds have extreme medical expenses
due to a bad leg injury.
As you can see, VAGA goes into the red for every dog we place as the
adoption fee does not begin to cover the expenses involved in bringing a greyhound home.Transportation of each greyhound to
Virginia costs up to $75 per dog. This has been the biggest challenge we have faced over the years! It's amazing that we have
been able to provide GPA-GO with this support for seven years. We could not have accomplished this without your help. Thank you!
Please donate today so we may continue to help the greyhounds in Orlando. Only by working together can we save the lives of the
many greyhounds who are depending on us. Monetary donations are always welcomed!"

That was, I think, SB's point about caloric load. She was considering the whole package necessary in a legume-heavy diet to achieve the complete protein profile man needs to build and maintain muscle.
It's like all the people here saying "why should I have gelatin in my post workout sake? It's not a complete protein!" Well, no, but it will still build your muscles if you get a few of the missing pieces (basically minute amounts of tryptophan) from other dietary components within the same day as well.
And also, if quibbling over 31 calories is a sticking point... You're worrying about calories TOO much. There is a limit.

Ben Smith had no idea the Toronto Blue Jays would make life so much better for him as a budding baseball player in the city.
He was chatting away Thursday with a Western Star reporter about participating in the two-day Toronto Blue Jays Honda Super Camp at Jubilee Field.
He looked a little baffled when asked what it means to him to know the Blue Jays were going to be making a big donation to minor baseball in the city.
"I feel that these people are the nicest people ever," Smith said.
Then, after a slight pause, as if he wasn't sure of what he had just heard.
"Is that true?" he asked.
Yes sir, it is.
The Toronto Blue Jays, through a Field of Dreams grant from the Jays Care Foundation, announced Thursday that the organization is donating $71,000 to the Corner Brook Baseball Association to be used for the refurbishing on Little Jubilee Field — a mainstay for the minor baseball program that has 187 boys and girls registered this summer.
Local baseball officials plan on spending the money to upgrade the small diamond with a new field surface just like the one on the main field, installation of lights, fencing, more bleachers for spectators, a new electronic scoreboard and an upgraded training area.
Being able to play on a much better and safer field is something Smith feels all players will get to enjoy.
"A lot of people have been saying they don't like sliding on that stuff .... I am just so happy to get a better field," Smith said.
Representatives of the Blue Jays, city officials including Deputy mayor Bernd Staeben, members of the baseball executive were joined by members of the Jays Care Foundation were on hand for the momentous occasion.
Of course, the biggest attractions for both players and parents alike were the four distinguished guests — Blue Jays Baseball Academy instructors Roberto Alomar, Sandy Alomar Sr., Duane Ward and Lloyd Moseby.
All four were busy providing instruction, encouragement and a fun learning environment as the players were put through their drills at the various stations set up on the field.
They had no problem handling the endless request for pictures and autographs.
It was clear to those who spent the day at the diamond these guys care about what they do.
Alomar had everybody's attention when he addressed more than 90 players and 100 parents and fans who decided to get a glimpse of some of the famous athletes they idolized back in the 1990s.
The soft-spoken native of Puerto Rico, who now splits his time between living in Toronto and Tampa, is heavily involved in the dozens of camps the organization runs coast to coast every year in an effort to grow the game.
"I'm glad they let me be the face of the program and to be able to help the kids and grow the game of baseball in Canada," said Alomar, a 12-time Gold Glove winner.
"This is part of what I want to do now. I think it's great to give back to the community."

OCEANPORT – At the racetrack Saturday, there was a lot of winning and wining, not whining.
The Win and Wine Festival at Monmouth Park brought together vintners and oenophiles outside the racetrack's towering grandstand – and the cash flowed as freely as the wine.
"You have a great audience, you're right here at the shore," said Janet Giunco, of Colt's Neck's 4JG Winery. "We're a Jersey Shore winery, so for us it is a perfect spot."
With 10 New Jersey wineries present, there was enough wine for a bacchanalia Saturday afternoon – but none for the horses.
Participating wineries included Cava Winery, Cream Ridge Winery, Four Sisters Winery, Old York Cellars, Plagido's Winery, Renault Winery, Unionville Vineyards, Valenzano Winery and Wagonhouse Winery.
Lydia Myers, of Atlanta, Ga., was sampling wines with her boyfriend Matthew Walsh and his father, Kevin Walsh, of Freehold.
"So far, I'm impressed," Myers said. "I've just been to a couple of tables so far, but I'm liking what I'm trying."
The festival also featured an assortment of boutique-style vendors, from hot-sauce hawkers like Hank's Sauce in Sea Isle City to cupcake makers like Tom's River's JenniCakes.
Many of the attendees came to the park specifically for the drinks.
For $10, each enjoyed unlimited samples as well as a commemorative tasting glass. Hundreds of guests lined up again – and again – to take advantage of the unlimited samples, quite a few bought bottles of the irresistible drink to take home.
"I've tried a little of everything," Kevin Bongiovanni, of Manchester, said. "They're fun… there are a lot of fun-tasting wines in New Jersey brands."
The wine lifted guest's spirits – pun intended – enough to truly enjoy a good day of racing.
"Wine is delicious, it goes anywhere," said Steve Spakowski as he manned the Valezano Winery booth. "It goes with horses, it goes with anything."
Inside the grandstand, reality star Bethenny Frankel, of Real Housewives fame, cancelled a public appearance at the eleventh hour – to be more accurate, world came of her cancellation five minutes before she was to appear.
Frankel's personnel did not give a reason for the cancellation.
The Win and Wine Festival will continue Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Over the past few years I have run several races organized by Energy Events, and I have come to expect a lot from them. The Hot Buttered Run 5k/12k did not disappoint!
The morning was dry and crisp and even slightly sunny when the approximately 1,200 runners (and 300 Kids Kandy Kane racers) gathered at Pearson Air Museum on the grounds of Fort Vancouver, Wash.
Upbeat Christmas music was playing, the lines at packet pickup were long, but moved quickly, race day registration was busy, and bag check was very efficient. Runners with children were able to check their kids in at the KidZone, where they would be watched by qualified, certified childcare providers while the parents run. A nice twist on the "free beverage with race entry" benefit was that the Rum Garden opened before the races got underway, just in case you wanted to fuel yourself with some Hot Buttered Rum (or hot chocolate) before the race.
Since the race course starts out on walking paths, both the 12k and the 5k got started in two waves. The faster runners (8 min/mile and faster) got started first with the rest of the group five minutes behind. This stretched out the field sufficiently to give everybody room to move, but apparently the faster 12k group ran into a delay at mile 3.5 when they had to wait for a freight train to cross the race course.
The course was marked well, and volunteers helped runners at every turn as well. The 12k had its water stations at mile 3 and mile 6, which also covered the 5k runners. The middle three miles (from the 3 to 6 mile markers) did not have any water support, which on a cool day at the end of November should not pose a problem for most runners, but knowing the location of the aid stations ahead of time would be useful for many. A worthwhile addition to the course support may also be a porta-potty about half way or around the 3 mile mark, since not many businesses with public bathrooms were open at 10am on a Sunday morning.
Entertainment along the route was also provided by carolers, and half a mile from the finish (but audible well before that) was a drum line to encourage you on the last mile. Christmas music greeted finishers, and the post race snacks consisted of bananas, oranges, peanut butter sandwiches and PopChips. The line for the Hot Buttered Run was very long, but well worth it!
The Kids Kandy Kane Races started after the last finishers crossed the finish line, and they are always fun to watch! The course for the kids races is ideal since it is a short loop on a walking path, where parents can see their children for the entire race, even when they don't run the race with them. Each child received a medal and a certificate of completion to take home.
Overall it was another very well organized fun race, and I'm looking forward to next year!Check out results from the 2011 Hot Buttered Run here.

When you consider the average tenure of an NFL head coach is only about 3.25 years, it's clear that things change fast in this league. That is why this Hot Seat needs to be updated every week.
In honor of the midseason mark of the NFL, two new status updates have become available in order to demonstrate the heightened severity of coaches and their livelihood.
Here's a temperature reading—now bottoming out with "On Fire" and progressing to "Hot" to "Warm" to "Room Temperature" to "Cool" to "Cozy" and finally "Get this man an Extension"—for every head coach in the NFL.
Enjoy the slideshow.

The accident happened when an automobile, racing to get through the crossing, was hit fairly amidships by an eastbound train on the Lake Shore Railroad. The dead were Fred G. Bird, 51, of Dunkirk, foreman of the boiler shop of the Brooks plant of the American Locomotive Company; George B. Bird, his son, 30 years and Otto E. Walters also of Dunkirk, former Police Commissioner. The bodies of Fred Bird and Walters were carried on the pilot of the engine nearly a half mile before the train was stopped.

Good news and bad news...
Good news: Hey, whaddya know, my husband has biceps! I can see them even when his arms are relaxed now. Somehow this surprises me considering he's done like... what... three workouts? I like 'em!
Bad news: Incision started bleeding _again_. I thought the other day it was getting better, then changed the dressing after today's shower and changed my mind about it getting better. Then all day it was bugging me so I went upstairs and checked and whaddya know, damn thing is bleeding again. Aaargh.
It makes me simultaneously pissed and totally morose. I don't want to be this disabled ever again. I can't wait to get on a path of progress again for recovery from this c-section!
Somehow it makes me even more upset that my newly split seam wasn't _caused_ by any specific event. If it had been a direct consequence of something... then at least I'd know why it happened and I could prevent it from getting worse / more from appearing. But this random spontaneous bleeding has me very unnerved. How do I know another spot won't just randomly unzip later?
Anyway. I put another one of the cauterizing gel pads the E.R. suggested on it. I swear... My doc appt. on Monday can't come fast enough. :(

St. Paul gearing up for Catholic Schools Week
SALEM – Catholic schools are being asked to perform 40 hours of community service in recognition of the 40th anniversary of Catholic Schools Week, but for St. Paul School, service to others is second nature.
"Faith, knowledge and service – that is our mission every day. We use our faith to expand our knowledge and help serve," St. Paul School Principal David Pancurak said.
This is Pancurak's first year as principal, but he's been a teacher at St. Paul School for five years. He said the students do community service all year long, not just during Catholic Schools Week.
"It's what we take pride in here at St. Paul's," he said.
The American Sign Language Club made up of students performs at local nursing homes. Students sent cards to military service members at Christmas. They collected change to donate to areas of need both inside and outside of the United States. They collected school supplies for their counterparts in Haiti. They collected stickers and hard candy for medical missionaries to take with them for children in the mountains of Haiti.
They're already lining up projects for the spring for volunteer day, with help from the St. Paul Home and School Association.
Pancurak said they have a lot planned for Catholic Schools Week from Jan. 26-31.
The week begins with a student-led Mass at 11:15 a.m. Sunday at St. Paul Church. Students will perform in the choir and serve as lectors, with the sixth grade students performing a song using sign language, a tradition the past 20 years.
The annual spaghetti dinner will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday in Scullion Hall with Frank Zamarelli doing the cooking. The cost is $7 for adults, $5 for children 5 to 10 years old and free for children under 5 years old. The Scholastic Book Fair will take place at the same time in the school library and will continue through the week.
On Monday, the spelling bee for grades three and four will begin at 1 p.m., followed by the spelling bee for grades five and six. The winner from the bee for fifth and sixth grades will represent St. Paul School in the Columbiana County Spelling Bee.
On Tuesday, the computer class will create a large mural to be displayed at the school using student Wordles. Pancurak explained that Wordles are created through a computer program which allows a student to enter a bunch of words about a particular subject and then the words will be used to form a shape, such as a cross or an animal.
On Wednesday, students are asked to bring a food item to donate to the local food pantry during the 9 a.m. school Mass. Students and their families can attend Family Bingo Night from 6 to 7:30 p.m. to play bingo, eat pizza and enjoy some family fellowship. Each student will be asked to donate a small prize for bingo. The book fair will be open from 5 to 8 p.m.
On Thursday, students will create placemats to donate to the Banquet in Salem and Meals on Wheels.
On Friday, an ice cream social will be followed by the annual sixth grade versus the school faculty volleyball game.
Besides the book fair, activities that will take place every day include: creating noodle (rubber band) bracelets to donate to hospitals to lift the spirits of patients; creating and decorating magnets that say "St. Paul School is Thinking of You" to give to shut-ins from St. Paul Parish; and creating "Socks of Love" to donate to a shelter by collecting soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs and other items to place in a sock wrapped with another sock and tied with a ribbon.
Pancurak noted that students who register for the next school year during Catholic Schools Week will have the registration fee waived. The school offers instruction for pre-school through sixth grade and has an enrollment of 96 students.
Besides this being the 40th year for Catholic Schools Week, Pancurak said plans are already being made for the school's 110th anniversary since its founding in 1904, with an anniversary dinner set for August. Since becoming principal, he's been working on promoting the school and marketing what the school has to offer for students, who come from both Catholic and non-Catholic families.
The school's Facebook page is updated regularly and the school's website is being redesigned.
"We're trying to let people outside our walls know what we're doing," he said.
The school's mission is to educate the mind, body and spirit of each child, offering a comprehensive curriculum that exceeds state standards, according to a school brochure. Besides academics, a compute lab and other technologies, the school offers physical education, fine arts classes and programs, including music and art, academic competitions, Spanish language instruction, enrichment, academic support and speech services.
Pancurak said he doesn't want people to forget what an asset St. Paul School is to the community. That was part of the reason he decided to apply for the job of principal, knowing the mission and the vision and knowing the school could continue on for another 110 years.
A 2001 graduate of Lisbon David Anderson High School, Pancurak earned a bachelor's degree in early childhood education from Youngstown State University in 2006. He has taken administrative coursework at Walsh University in North Canton. He first came to St. Paul School as a long-term sub from the Salem City Schools, working with students in reading. He then taught fifth grade for two years at St. Paul, went to Alliance City Schools for a year working with students in reading and returned to St. Paul as a teacher, with two years teaching second grade and a year teaching fourth, fifth and sixth grade science.
He said it's a challenge, but working with the students is fun. He also said it's rewarding to continue working with the families at St. Paul School. He and his wife, Casey, have an 8-month-old daughter and attend St. Paul Church.
Anyone who's interested in having their child enroll at St. Paul School can contact Pancurak at 330-337-3451.

As 2012 quickly comes to a close, huge news and announcements have not slowed down in recent weeks for the mixed martial arts world.
Despite this year having been marred by injuries and cancellations for some of the sports top promotions, I can't help but feel optimistic that 2013 will be a much bigger and better year for MMA—and for a ton of good reasons. With the UFC poised to add a women's division led by champ Ronda Rousey, bad boy Nick Diaz and behemoth Alistair Overeem set to make their respective Octagon returns and Bellator making the move to Spike TV, there will be a lot of news to look out for in the year to come.
More importantly, however, MMA fans should pay attention to how these issues will impact the sport on a larger level.
Here are five stories to keep an eye on going into 2013.

MORRISTOWN — A state appeals court today reinstated a lawsuit filed by a former auto mechanic for the Mount Olive School District who says his contract was not renewed in retaliation for calling attention to safety problems on a school bus and working conditions in the district garage.
A Superior Court judge had dismissed Robert Dukin's lawsuit, but the appeals court said there was sufficient evidence that his 2010 dismissal could have been due to his whistle-blowing activities.
The case now heads back to Superior Court in Morristown for trial. It names as defendants the Mount Olive School District, Superintendent Larrie Reynolds, former lead mechanic Brian Lewis and two other former school officials.
The appeals court said Dukin, of Blairstown, may have been dismissed in retaliation for a series of actions that began when he told Lewis there was a "severe air leak in the air tank" on one bus's brake fittings, and then reported the fact that the brakes had not been fixed to a state Motor Vehicle Commission inspector.
Also, the appeals court said, Dukin refused an order from Lewis to elevate a bus using a bumper-jack on what Dukin claimed was "uneven asphalt" and unsafe. Lewis sent Dukin home from work for insubordination, the court said, but he later ordered a new procedure after Dukin filed a formal safety complaint with the state Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health department.
Dukin later filed a second complaint with PSEOH and an inspector found 13 regulatory violations, including seven "serious" violations, each carrying a $425 daily penalty, and six "other than serious" violations, each carrying a $263 per day penalty. Among the serious violations were unsanitary work conditions and unsafely stored electrical equipment, the appeals court said.
The school district had argued in the appeal that Dukin's dismissal after three years was due to "poor performance and insubordination," and said it was also due to budget constraints, despite the fact that a relative of Lewis was hired "to help in the garage" after Dukin left, the appeals court said.
Dukin had been issued reprimands for "maintaining sloppy work" and "dangerous work conditions," the appeals court said.
The district did not dispute that there had been safety problems but the lower court ruled Dukin had failed to prove his whistle-blowing was the reason he was let go, the appeals court said.
Reynolds, the superintendent, said the district "rejects the reasons" cited by Dukin for his non-renewal.
"We decided someone else could do a better job," Reynolds said. "We stand firm on our ability to hire the best people we have available."
Reynolds said he couldn't recall whether the new employee was related to Lewis, but added that the district has reduced its staff of auto mechanics from four to two. Lewis could not be reached for comment.
Dukin, who has found a new job as a mechanic, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and is not looking to get his job back in Mount Olive, said his attorney, Valerie Fasolo.

LINDEN — A Linden man responding to a Craigslist ad to sell his Apple iPhone was robbed at gunpoint when meeting the potential buyer, a report on DailyRecord.com said.
The 21-year-old victim responded to the ad Friday afternoon, meeting the buyer at a cross-street in Linen, according to the report. But when he approached the buyer, he was holding what looked like a silver handgun and demanded the phone, the report said.
The man took the cell phone as well as $340, then ran away through backyards of surrounding homes, the report said.

Guys were bawling in the theater just like the ladies equally alike.
Amazing film, one of my favorites. Few directors can match the emotional accuracy of historical tragedies, but Cameron manages to. - Virtuoso
Best movie I have ever seenV6 Comments
I adore this movie. It was full of action film with fantastic visual effects (especially for that time) and great acting. Probably my favorite movie of the 80's - Irina2932
Aliens is the greatest sequel ever. I think also the fact that a movie of this standard could be made. Pays tribute to Ridley Scott's movie. 10/10. definitely Cameron's greatest movie, no two ways about it. Everything was done in a studio with no modern day computer effects.
This one of the greatest movies ever and I can understand why with the great action scenes, the amazing directing,the cool special special effects, and Sigourney Weavers Oscar-nominated role as Ellen Ripley made her one of cinemas greatest heroes

Joe Girardi stood by Alex Rodriguez as long as he could, until desperate times called for desperate measures and he pinch-hit for the struggling Rodriguez in the ninth inning with the 40-year-old Raul Ibanez.
The decision paid off, big time, when Ibanez hit the game-tying home run to force extra innings, then added the cherry on top by hitting a second homer in the 12th inning to give the Yanks a 3-2 win over the Orioles Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.
With the win, the Yanks take a 2-1 series lead in the best-of-five ALDS. Game 4 is tonight, at 7:37 p.m.

LANSING -- The state Capitol lawn was dotted in brown and gold T-shirts much of Wednesday, as Western Michigan University -- at least some of its students, staff and faculty -- moved from Kalamazoo and set up shop in Lansing.
There were tents, games, fight-song serenades, and some even rubbed shoulders with a few legislators -- once lawmakers left session.
By the latest count, some 600 were in attendance at the first WMU Day at the Capitol today, an effort to show Bronco pride in a city that makes money decisions that have statewide implications.
"We came with a big herd of people," said WMU senior Amanda Presson, who was on one of 12 busloads.
Explaining why she thought it was important that Western brought its "herd" to Lansing Wednesday, Presson said, "We really wanted to have our name heard and just be known as one of the major universities in Michigan. I think we kind of get side-stepped."
Did it work with the lawmakers inside?
"I think it's a very good impact," said state Rep. Lorence Wenke, R-Comstock Township, looking over throngs of WMU-appareled folk milling about the Capitol's east lawn.
"I don't think that this has been done before by any university. Any of our 15 public universities -- at least I'm not aware of this kind of presentation to the Legislature. It's impressive," Wenke said.
Twelve busloads left WMU this morning to show up -- 11 made it, since one broke down (they were rescued and brought to Lansing).
Wenke said when organizations make their presence known, it is influential to legislators.
"I think it's money well-spent," Wenke said. "It's hard to say that there's a direct return on this investment by WMU. It would be hard to calculate it. But the legislature is influence by lobbying efforts, by public-relations efforts. We like to see organizations come to Lansing."
WMU senior Christi Alexander was one of the hundreds of students in attendance Wednesday.
"It was kind of cool to represent Western and the educational program in general," said Alexander, an elementary ed major who was relaxing on the capitol law with her boyfriend, Brian Schafer.

Keep up the good workOctober 31,2013
Keep up the good work
I am writing to thank reporter Eric Blaisdell for his reporting on the issues around the First Amendment rights of Montpelier Planning Director Gwen Hallsmith.
Regardless of who may be right or wrong, it is troubling that both Bill Fraser and Sarah Jarvis, in their letters to this paper, have attempted to morph the issue into a personnel matter. Characterizing it as such, and airing specific concerns about Ms. Hallsmiths overall performance in public is a highly questionable tactic and could easily be seen as an attempt to divert attention from the larger issue of an employees right to express personal opinions outside the workplace.
If The TimesArgus once again becomes a newspaper which is willing to objectively sort out the facts in a case like this, I will happily re-subscribe. Keep up the good work.

Have you guys heard of Timehop? It's a great little service I signed up for a while ago. Every morning I get an email with a list of everything I posted on my social networks exactly one year before. Tweets, Facebook statuses, Instagram photos, Foursquare check-ins.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up, but I've found I really look forward to that morning email! Sometimes it's boring, but some mornings I wake up to see an album of vacation photos I put on Facebook. It's fun to spend a few minutes with happy memories every morning.
Last week, the email had the picture I took of Chris and me when I dropped him off in Dallas to leave for Army boot camp. I remembered how sad that morning was and how much I was dreading the three months that followed, but then I thought about how amazing everything has been since then.
Chris and I both have grown in so many ways. We are both stronger as individuals, and our relationship is stronger and better too. More secure, more relaxed. We moved from a city I did not love, to this incredible city with tons to offer, including nearly all of our friends. We both have good jobs and we got rid of our hated brown couch.
We are happy. Life is good.
I remember being so lonely and miserable while Chris was gone, but my Timehop emails actually present a totally different picture. I didn't have anyone to tell my jokes to except the cats and the internet, so the emails are full of hilarity (hey, if I don't think they're funny, who will?) and one multi-day saga involving several wasps and some duct tape. It's interesting to look back on those months through a lens that's mostly free of all the emotional baggage I was dragging around.
What a difference a year—and a little perspective—makes.

Oak Harbor man sentenced for punching sister
An 18-year-old Oak Harbor man, who punched his sister in the face and knocked out her tooth, was sent to jail.
Michael A. Steen pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Oct. 29 to third-degree assault, a domestic-violence crime.
The judge agreed with the plea-bargained sentencing recommendation and sent him to jail for four months.
A woman who lives in a mobile home park on Crosby Avenue in Oak Harbor reported that her brother, Steen, assaulted her while they were walking in the park together.
The woman said Steen punched her "out of nowhere," the report states. The blow knocked out one of her front teeth and fractured a second.
Steen ran out of the park after he realized what he had done, his sister said.
Police arrested Steen and brought him to the jail.
When he was told that he had knocked his sister's tooth out, he started loudly crying, the officer wrote.
At the time of his arrest, Steen was wanted on four warrants related to domestic violence.

A Cayuga County judge today reserved ruling on whether to suppress an Auburn man's alleged police confession to sexually abusing a young girl.
Judge Mark Fandrich delayed making a decision after listening to testimony at a hearing that lasted a couple hours, defense lawyer Dennis Sedor said.
The hearing was held after Sedor filed a pre-trial motion seeking to suppress the alleged confession on grounds that arresting officers coerced it from his client, David Botindari, 63, of 3 Wright Ave., and that he did not receive his Miranda rights to have a lawyer by his side.
Botindari, who testified at the hearing, was arrested by Cayuga County sheriff's investigators last September on charges he sexually molested the girl over several years.
Sedor said arresting officers ignored Botindari's repeated requests to see a lawyer while they questioned him. The officers testified at the hearing, Sedor said.
District Attorney Jon Budelmann did not return messages in time for this story.
Last month, Fandrich tossed 34 of the 35 felony sex abuse charges contained in an indictment against Botindari. In his ruling, Fandrich said the charges were legally flawed because they did not match the alleged victim's testimony to the grand jury, but he said Budelmann's office could present the case to a new grand jury.
Fandrich denied Sedor's motion to dismiss the remaining felony charge of first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child. Botindari faces up to 25 years imprisonment on that charge if convicted.

Brad Pitt and Denzel Washington may make trip to 'Candy Store'
Oscar-winning writer-director Stephen Gaghan ("Traffic," "Syriana") is attracting some big names for his next film, "The Candy Store."
Oscar winner Denzel Washington and Oscar nominee Brad Pitt are both in early talks to appear in the film.
Jamie Foxx is also allegedly interested in the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Although the plot is so far being kept under wraps, "Candy Store" is a thriller which offers substantial roles for its two male leads.
Gaghan picked up an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for 2000's drug war drama "Traffic," directed by Steven Soderbergh. He made his directorial debut with "Abandon," starring Katie Holmes, in 2002, and followed it up with the acclaimed George Clooney-starring "Syriana" in 2005.
Gaghan also did some recent re-writes for M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi epic "After Earth," starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith.
Pitt will next appear in "Killing Them Softly," and the delayed zombie film "World War Z." He was in the middle of shooting Ridley Scott's "The Counselor," when the film's production was paused after director Scott's brother Tony was found dead.
Washington most recently starred in "Safe House," and will soon be seen in Robert Zemeckis' "Flight."

By Richard Lubinski
Some people mistakenly believe that energy costs are fixed – a fact of life – and that nothing can be done about them. This myth has been proven wrong millions of times by progressive businesses and government agencies. Energy costs are controllable, although controlling the cost of energy (rates and fuel costs) is a separate issue. Unfortunately, for most firms, natural gas and electricity cost increases weren't expected and, therefore, weren't covered in operating budgets. Now, finally, the C-suite executives (CEOs and CFOs) are paying attention to energy costs.
Supply-Side vs. Demand-Side Energy Management
Energy management can be broken into supply-side energy management and demand-side energy management. Since supply-side energy management doesn't require any capital investment, many companies start here. In regulated and deregulated electricity and natural-gas markets, utility rates are increasing by double digits each year. Hundreds of billions of dollars in extra expenses are hitting building owners. The first step in supply-side energy management is to purchase the energy commodities at a price less than the "shopping credit" (price to compare) for energy commodities. With the help of an independent energy consultant, electricity generation and natural-gas commodities can provide some relief against increasing rates. The result can be a net cost increase, but there is still avoided cost (i.e. savings) by buying energy commodities at a lower price in deregulated markets. In some cases, the states with traditional regulated energy markets have seen higher rate increases than those in deregulated markets. Everyone is paying more for energy, even when their consumption is the same year over year.
Supply-side energy management may lead progressive companies to start to track energy cost and consumption(by using a utility accounting system). Internal accounting systems can be expanded to serve this purpose, or the process of utility-bill payment and administration can be outsourced. The outsourcing approach generally results in a Web-based database complete with charts and PDFs of actual utility bills. Payments to the utility can be paid on time to avoid paying 12- to 36-percent annual interest for late fees on utility bills.
Eventually, companies mature to the point where they realize the need for demand-side energy management or the need to reduce energy consumption. This type of energy management can be considered permanent energy savings, since it will provide cost savings for many years. Investments in cost-cutting programs like energy management are evaluated by a CFO, just like any other investment. The CFO could care less about the technical merits of an energy-management project – only that it makes sound financial sense. The CFO starts with simple payback period, then return on investment (ROI), and then net present value (NPV). The NPV is a capital-planning tool that determines if the planned investment beats the company's internal rate of return (hurdle rate). If the NPV of a proposed energy-management project generates a positive NPV dollar value, then it should be considered. The CFO doesn't care about BTUs, kilowatt-hours (kWhs), dekatherms (Dths), quality of light, lumen maintenance curves, etc. As Jerry Maguire made famous, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

The Times, Dec. 22nd 2010, p. 17
One of The Times's Christmas charities, Retired and Senior Volunteers Programme (RSVP), brought together older people and medical students for a frank exchange of views in order that the students would realize that the elderly are more than bed-blockers and inconvenient statistics draining NHS resources. They covered how eating habits change with age. 'Many of the young had not heard of bread and dripping.' They also discussed living alone and loneliness which leads to calls to doctors just for human contact. Volunteers and students learnt a lot from each other in the session.

This paper discusses how two students undertaking a foundation degree in early years experienced changes to their personal and professional identities. Both students would not have entered higher education had it not been for the widening participation drive. The higher education experience had a positive influence on their personal and professional identity. However, changes to higher education funding and public spending cuts have raised concerns about the continued ability of CNNs to access such courses. This could have a negative effect on their continuing professional development.

This paper explores the experiences of nurses working within the policy-making arena. Nurses were given a place alongside GPs and other health professionals on the boards of Local Health Groups, bodies set up in 1999 in Wales by the Labour government to commission health services for communities. Nurse board members faced a number of challenges in their attempts to contribute to and influence local health policy. This ethnographic study suggests that medical authority and control, and hierarchical power relations between doctors and nurses on the board, were seen by nurses as significant obstacles to their participation in this new policy arena. In response to their perceived lack of power and subordinate status, nurses employed a number of strategies to negotiate their participation as board members. These included 'getting it right', 'achieving the right balance', 'self-presentation' and 'unassertiveness'.

The extent of corporate influence over the public health agenda emerged yesterday, when the health minister, Anne Milton, was forced to disclose the full list of industry representatives invite to help write 'responsibility deals'. The list includes spirit manufacturers (Diageo, Bacardi), brewing companies (SAB Miller, Heineken, Molson), supermarkets (Tesco), processed food and drinks giants (Mars, Unilever, Nestle, Pepsi Cola), fast food chains (McDonald's) and various trade associations and industry lobby group (British Beer and Pub Association, the Wine and Spirit Association).

Reports that the first 52 GP consortia will take over responsibility for commissioning health services for their local populations from primary care trusts in 2011. This first wave of the new consortia will cover almost 1,860 GP practices in England, accounting for about 13 million patients, almost 25% of the population.

The government has promised to ring fence £4bn to improve the nation's health by tackling issues such as smoking, excessive drinking and obesity. The white paper received a cool welcome from experts who doubt whether 'nudging' people into good habits actually works. Dr. Vivienne Nathason of the British Medical Association (BMA) said 'if people live in an environment where they are surrounded by fast food advertising and glamorous alcohol marketing, 'nudging' will have limited effect'.
The Care Quality Commission
Over 25,000 women who had given birth in January and February 2010 responded to this survey. This was a response rate of 52%. All women aged 16 or over who received care from the 144 NHS Trusts in England, and who had given birth in a hospital, birth centre, maternity unit or at home were eligible to take part. Participants were asked about all aspects of their maternity care, including the first time they saw a clinician and the quality of care provided at their home in the weeks following the birth of their baby. Key findings:
NHS Trusts will use the results of the survey to identify areas of improvement. The Care Quality Commission will use the results throughout its regulatory duties such as monitoring trusts' compliance with the essential standards of quality and safety.

Despite there being some positive efforts within community nursing, black and minority ethnic patients can still feel that they are not treated with dignity and respect when accessing the service. This can be due to communication problems and lack of cultural understanding. The situation could be improved if more black and minority ethnic community nursing staff were recruited.

Government policy has highlighted the provision of a postnatal service that responds to mothers' physical, psychological, social and emotional needs. This paper presents the results of a small qualitative study which explored the question of what support first-time mothers actually wanted from health visitors. Although the mothers valued the support provided by their health visitor highly, there were varying levels of satisfaction with the pattern and frequency of contacts. The findings suggest that mothers would prefer more contact, domiciliary visiting and support from health visitors during the postnatal period to help them adapt to motherhood.

what's up? I have a problem with hacking Pokemon White. I have edited the Trainers and Wild Pokemon and so on, but I couldn't understand the other tools like human sprite editor. Can someone make a tutorial for this or explain it to me? And after I played my hacked Pokemon White, it crashes in the 1st gym after the 2nd Trainer was beaten by me. Do I have to Patch it or so or Crack it, but how? And another question, how to use the text editor? Or how did the creators edit the Starters of the 3rd Generation as present for us, before we fight against the 1st gym leader? Or how did they do Brock as the 2nd gym leader? Thats really interesting. Please help me. Thanks for your answers.
OK, what Pokemon White hack do you have? Seeing you talking about 3rd generation starters and Brock tells me that you're playing a hack...
There is hex code you can edit to change what is handed out by the NPC in the Dreamyard, read this: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/sho...emental+monkey
As for the Brock editing, I'd assume it's just replacing sprites through the BWSE by I believe Kazowar.
I don't know why your game is crashing. If these are your own edits, you may have overwritten some data - if you take a NARC, edit it and increase it's size, and reinsert it, you'll overwrite other narcs which can make the game crash.
For the human sprite editor, I'm assuming it's the BWSE editor that I mentioned before: I have no answers, I would try looking in KazoWAR's thread about his various tools and reading posts about it.

"Mc Donald's doesn't make the kids fat, its the parents bringing them there so often. I went to Mc Donald's, occasionally, as a child and I got the burger and fries and I never got fat. Plus, what kid will eat apple over fries over regular fries? You don't go to Mc Donald's for healthy food."

Local professionals in the real estate business point to many factors that are conducive to finding a new place to live.
And what a great way to head into fall — new house, new address, new attitude.
With a little effort, it can become a reality.
So make a splash in the housing market and use the summer as a good time to get a new home.
The greater metropolitan area is blessed with a healthy supply of homes and properties to purchase at this time, providing buyers with a bevy of choices for condition, location and price.
"There are lots of houses on the market at this time of year," noted Susan Angelle of LATTER & BLUM, Inc., Realtors. "Children are out of school — it's a good time for (buyers) to be out looking for houses."
The added benefit of no school also provides an additional search tool for parents. If they are on the lookout for a family-friendly neighborhood with lots of playmates and an easy going kid-friendly appeal, summer is a great time for investigation.
And, of course, the reverse is true, as well. Those who might want less of the summertime frenzy of activity from the young may find it very advantageous at this time to take a tour of the neighborhood.
Summer offers a good opportunity for parents to scope out the schools for a particular neighborhood. It can be a chance to meet with administrators and staff to get a clear understanding of the school and the atmosphere.
Longer days means more daylight. It also means more time to see.
And more time to see means more houses to see.
Local Realtors report some increase in the number of showings in the later hours of the day during summer.
Most buyers like to the take advantage of the natural light to get a good look at the house. Extra hours of daylight can help make house-hunting days more productive.
As the extra hours are a bonus to the house hunter, the neighborhood search can benefit as well.
Experts recommend buyers interested in a particular neighborhood should visit the area at different times of the day and different days of the week.
Colder months with shorter days often do not provide daytime for buyers who might work a standard 9-to-5 shift. A neighborhood at night might be a completely different atmosphere.
Extra hours means extra time to scope out the area at different times.
Finding the right neighborhood is important because many buyers, particularly local buyers, are looking at new and different locales than they might have in the past.
"They're branching out their criteria guidelines geographically," said Lesha Nugent Freeland of KELLER WILLIAMS. Jefferson Parish buyers are particularly showing signs of this but it is a point that is cropping up throughout the area — particularly with people moving to the area. "We are getting a lot of people from other states — they don't know the colloquialisms we have."
The neighborhood-centric mentality of many Crescent City folks has changed in past years, as neighborhoods throughout the metropolitan region have gone through massive changes, both physically and economically. Places that used to be filled with small, comfortable cottages now sprout mini-mansions with tremendous modern appeal. And some neighborhoods have become so popular, they have become economically different from their past.
Buyers that might have only been interested in a few neighborhoods are now looking at more and different places to live.
And with the large supply of homes for sale, buyers also have the option to find a home with all the amenities they want, often at a particular price point, even if it means living in a different locale.
Warm times are not only advantageous to buyers but sellers can take advantage of the summer to increase their home's saleability.
Most local Realtors will tell sellers to get their property in the best possible condition to be viable in today's real estate marketplace. There may be a similar house with more bonuses just down the street that is just that much more enticing to buyers.
Now is the time. Longer daylight means extra time to work in the yard, pressure-wash the house and hard surfaces and make those little repairs that have been deferred for so long.
Increasing the curb appeal can only benefit the seller.
It's a good time to hit the inside, as well. Neglected tasks and put-off chores are great summer activities.
And any sort of waterworks around the home (pools, fountains, whirlpool tubs) should be pristine and sparkling. Buyers should long to jump right in (and make the sale).
One of the top reasons offered for buying now are the interest rates.
Local financial institutions can provide the most up-to-date figures and can also help buyers get pre-qualified for funds to purchase their dream home. Knowing how much a buyer can spend will help make the process much smoother.
Realtors in unison said the home mortgage rates are so attractive to buyers they should capitalize as soon as possible.
"We're at some of the best rates now, historically," said Kathy Hayward of COLDWELL BANKER TEC Realtors. "Who knows what the future is going to hold? It's a marvelous time right now — it's a prime time. You're at the advantage as the buyer."
And though no one has a crystal ball (yet) that will fortell the future, most of the Realtors feel buyers are optimistic about the coming era.
"I think people have a resurgence of hope and its getting them out and they realize we are not going to be enjoying low interest rates forever," said Sandy Sandusky of PRUDENTIAL GARDNER, Realtors. "The future looks a lot brighter now. Its time to get out and make the best investment they've made in their lives."

Rick Springfield is no stranger to wearing many hats.
In the early '80s, the Australia native juggled a successful acting career—most notably playing Dr. Noah Drake on "General Hospital"—while becoming a rock star and heartthrob.
Rick SpringfieldWhen: 8 p.m. Saturday, February 22. Where: Hard Rock Live at the Hard Rock Rocksino, 10777 Northfield Road, Northfield. Tickets: $52 to $89.90 via Ticketmaster
Besides the No. 1 hit "Jessie's Girl," Springfield had a slew of top 40 hits, including "I've Done Everything For You," "Don't Talk To Strangers" and "Love Somebody."
In the ensuing decades, the 64-year-old has continued to record albums—most recently 2012's excellent, rock/power-pop effort "Songs for the End of the World."
He's appeared on Broadway ("Smokey Joe's Café") and made memorable guest appearances on TV ("Californication," "Hot In Cleveland").
And more recently, Springfield added "accomplished author" to his c.v. His self-penned memoir, "Late, Late At Night," was a New York Times best-seller, and his debut novel, "Magnificent Vibration," is due in May.
In advance of his full-band show at Hard Rock Live, Springfield caught up via phone.
The interview took place during a busy week which found him in Atlanta filming the Lifetime TV show "Drop Dead Diva"—and then escaping an ice storm in the city by taking a bus to Nashville with Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus, who also happens to be guest-starring on the show.
Did you know Jay DeMarcus before filming the show?
No, I'd never met him, but I was certainly aware of them and they used to play "Jessie's Girl" onstage for a couple of years, he was telling me.
You guys became fast friends taking the bus to Nashville together.
Yeah, but you know, musicians, we know each other—and even if you don't, musicians already have a mutual understanding [when they meet each other], and that's the love of music. So it's never like meeting a stranger.
What are you doing on "Drop Dead Diva"?
I play a band member who has issues with the band and they start suing each other—or he gets sued—and that's where the whole law [aspect] of the "Drop Dead Diva" theme comes in. But it's a pretty well-written script, and it was fun working on it. I like the character—it was actually a character with some flaws and issues, and so it was something I could actually work with.
been doing many solo storytelling shows lately. What's been the most fun doing
That I get to play guitar and relax a bit; I actually don't sweat during that show. [With] my live shows, I come off drenched, so it's a nice change.
They're real laid-back, and I get to tell some funny stories—or some serious, sad ones—and try and move an audience in a different manner. So that's always a real challenge, because it's just me and a guitar most of the time. It's a long show -- it's like a two-hour show, so there's quite a bit of stuff involved in it.
you brought anything back to your full-band shows from these solo shows?
I miss the camaraderie of the band and being onstage with guys that I like. I do miss that. So getting back to playing [with them] is like, "Oh man, this is great -- I want to do this again!"
But then also, going away and doing the solo things, it's so different and so laid-back that I say, "Well, I like this, too." So it's really a nice mix.
Reviews had a really nice, thoughtful review of "Magnificent Vibration"
Which is great, because I know they love to ram on guys like me that say, "Hey, I've done this -- I think I'll be a novelist now." So they got the book, which is wonderful. This is a hardcore literary thing, and they got the story. They thought that I more or less pulled it off.
What really stood out to me was the review said that you wrote believable characters. What a compliment—especially for someone who is a songwriter, and you've spent your whole career crafting characters.
Well, I've always read all of my life. That's really what I did when I was staying away from school and why I got kicked out of school. You know, I had emotional problems and hated school and all of that.
But I'd stay home, and instead of doing drugs and playing video games or going out with friends, I'd sit home and read all day long. Unfortunately, I stole the books, but I had a whole box full of these incredible writers.
I loved horror stories and science fiction, but they're all great writers. You know, Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein and August Derleth, just brilliant writers that I unconsciously learned a lot about story structure [from], and I think that just stayed with me.
I had a blueprint of what a good novel should be, because I'd read so many of them.
Are there any particular characters in the books you read growing up that really resonated with you?
My favorite is Ahab in "Moby Dick." A lot of the classics, you kind of go, "Okay, it's kind of weird language -- it's not how we talk now. I get it, and I'm moved to a certain degree, but I wish it had been written in modern English."
But "Moby Dick" is the only book that I've ever read a chapter and then was so blown away that I went back and read it again before going on and finishing the book.
And Ahab's soliloquy, to me, is one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written. It's a character that's not all like the movie—I mean, you can't put that kind of depth into a movie, certainly not from the '60s or whenever it was made.
Charles Dickens, he writes incredible characters [too]. It was the same thing when I first picked up "David Copperfield." I started reading it on a set because I was bored and it blew me away. It absolutely blew me away.
How did you get in the mindset of writing your novel?
My publisher at the time shamed me into it. [Laughs.] After I wrote the autobiography, which I wrote by myself, she said, "You've got a great voice -- you should be writing fiction." And I said, "Yeah, I really want to do that, but I go do other things."
She's [also] my editor, and [we have different political beliefs]. I sent [her] something about confirming my political beliefs with the email heading of "This is just a start." She saw that and wrote me back, saying, "Oh, I thought you were sending me the beginnings of your novel." So I was really shamed into it.
I went home for Christmas and started writing there. I had some time off at Christmas, and that's all I [did] is just sit and write. It came pretty quickly.
With the fiction writing, are you finding that it's influencing the songwriting that you're doing?
I've always been really lyric-oriented, song-wise, so I don't expect that it will change it. I work on the lyrics probably more than I do the melody. I want to say the right thing and say it the best way possible, so I do really [put a focus on that].
I'm hyper-focused on the lyrics anyway. But I'll see—as I get into it, maybe I will, I don't know.
The book is coming out, you're touring and you're doing some TV stuff -- what else is on your plate this year?
Well, they're doing a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for me. But I hope to be doing more TV, and I have some scripts that I've written that we're going to start shopping around. So hopefully something [comes out of that].
It's kind of under wraps right now, but they're humor. You know, because the book is very dark humor. [Laughs.]
Do you have any good Cleveland memories?
It's a great town. I love the whole thing by the lake. That kind of blew me away. The first time I was in a hotel [here], we came in at night, and then [I] opened up the curtains and suddenly there was this ocean.
I said, "I didn't know Cleveland was on the coast!" [Laughs.] I'm from Australia -- my geographic awareness of America goes in and out. So that freaked me out.
We've always had great shows, and the crowds are always great rock-and-roll crowds. I guess there was a reason the museum was put there!

MUSKEGON, MI -- Everyone, it seems, has an opinion about the upcoming Coast West Music Festival.
Some are expressing disappointment in the lineup for the first-year festival, while others claim the community should give it a chance.
The new high-profile festival will feature six days of music this summer, with a mix of national, regional and local bands. Coast West will also be the first major mainstream secular music festival to take place in Heritage Landing since Summer Celebration, which ended in 2011 due to financial issues.
Reaction to the festival has been varied, but after announcing the latest lineup additions last week, it seemed that many were already pessimistic about the event.
So on Saturday, MLive and The Muskegon Chronicle asked online: "Why are some people so disappointed with Coast West already?"
The "Question of the Day" generated a lot of discussion over the weekend and received 45 comments.
Many said they thought that Coast West was another Summer Celebration, with many of the same kinds of acts that had graced the stage at Heritage Landing.
Commenter L Hale said he was disappointed because MFG promised the community a "new model" for the festival. He wrote:
Unfortunately, this group is NOT bringing anything new to the table. As someone pointed out, it's a watered down (and more expensive) version of Summer Celebration, which, in case you missed it, failed. Miserably."
Here's what others said:
Nozrey: "You guys need to do something new with bands that haven't been here before. That is the whole reason summer cel failed in the first place. People are more apt to spend money on something that they haven't seen before unless they are die hard fans and with the lineup you have, that doesn't include many."
Ovalumni1984: "They need to bring in bigger acts to draw out of towners in, otherwise this is nothing but a small town event. I quit going years ago because the same bands just kept getting re-booked."
Not everyone was down on Coast West, though. Some commenters, like quietbystander, said the community needs to give the festival a chance. He wrote:
"I usually don't say anything, but I have to here. Give the Festival a chance. Have you never heard of Buddy Guy? I think he is an excellent choice, to play at the Coast West Festival. I see the Festival, trying to please a wide range of music tastes. Give them a chance people!!!"
Other commenters, like Lance Hendrickson echoed similar sentiments. He listed some of the factors Coast West organizers had to consider, like what works well in the area, artists' willingness to work with a new group and festival, competing venues and the performers' schedules.
"Rather than yipping for bands with funny hats & banjos, why don't we just acknowledge the effort, maybe volunteer next time, and offer CW a deal: we'll go to these shows and have a few crowd-pleasers, but we get to use the backs of the tickets to vote on a new name for next year... "
What do you think? Have Coast West's announcements so far met your expectations? Join the discussion here or comment below.
