Mr Dobson is such a cool sport about this.
SKELETOR has informed me that he wants to help drum up support for the pre-orders of Castle Grayskull, and he'd like you all to share this video with anyone you think might be interested:
I met Brian Dobson at Power-Con this year, and he said he'd love to help anyway he could. I think he went above and beyond what any of us could expect.
Here's TRI-KLOPS with a follow-up to SKELETOR's video: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...kull-Pre-Order!

Whenever I hear this brilliant voice masquerading those characters I know that I'm listening to a special talent, one of the major reasons why I love the MYP MOTU so much.

HOLY ******!!!! That was awesome!!! Hearing that voice again was fantastic!! Brian Dobson is Skeletor for me too. I just re-watched the 2002 series again last week with my kid. That series to me, is still the best. The 200X cartoon will stand the test of time. The Filmation cartoon is hard for me to get through. Happy just to hear Brian at it again.
Great work!! And Brian was SO cool at Power Con. Hilarious!! But this is just an awesome collaboration!!!

Skinny Skeletor
great voice and body for skeletor !
love the video.
come on guys make it happen!
A new Motu line, again at last!
I'm loving all the love that Brian Dobson's getting in here! It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who thought he was the best Skeletor. 200X gets glossed over a lot by some of the nostalgia that surrounds the Filmation series, but I thought most of what MYP and MVC did was just better than the old stories and even some of the performances. Alan Oppenheimer was a brilliant choice for Skeletor, and he really set a high standard, but Brian definitely built on that and made Skeletor more sinister like Langella's, by dropping the silliness that Alan had to do for the younger audience.
But before I derail my own thread... Yes, that's me in the mask, and I'm very proud of how this came out. Of course, I'm pretty critical of it, because I know it could've been better if I had more time (and fewer computer problems - Ugh!). The mask was designed to be glued to my face, but I had to just slip it on (which is why the jaw doesn't move as much as it should) over a very slippery spandex mask. I wanted to make Skeletor's eyes glow with After Effects, but I couldn't get it to recognize my original footage. And there was supposed to be music under the end credits. That said, I'm happy with the results, and maybe I'll have to do a 'Special Edition' later.
We're already really close to our goal on pre-sales (check out the METER!), so hopefully this video will help bump us over the top.
P.S.: Morningstar! I'm trying to get bigger, but it's hard for me to eat that much!!!

Wow! Super awesome all around!! Yeah, some glowing eyes and spooky music would have helped, but it was still good nonetheless. Cool costume and performance. I like the claws. That is such an awesome voice for Skeletor. MUCH better than Filmation version, IMHO.
Wow, hearing that voice and laugh again makes me wish for just one more MYP Masters episode, maybe a direct-to-video movie. Ah well.
Anyway, let's hope Skeletor can help push us over the edge!!
"Everything comes to he who waits."
blah blah 10 characters blah blah
200x wasnt great, but my god was he the best. He actually took the 80's one and improved apoun it. Similar voice, just legit demonic. He should be the definitive Skeletor if a movie is made.

A veteran Washington police detective was promoted to chief Tuesday in what the mayor hopes will bring a steady hand to the city's embattled police department.
Chris Luppino, who has been a city police officer for 18 years, was hired as the new police chief by Mayor Brenda Davis after months of disagreements and surprise resignations by the department's highest-ranking officers.
Davis said she settled on Luppino, 41, because he lives in the city and has extensive experience with the department and its 31 officers. She added it was the only application she received in the past month.
"He displays the leadership attributes needed to move this department forward," Davis said. "Chris has had a stellar career in the department."
The promotion apparently came together quickly after Luppino submitted his resume to be considered for the full-time position when Capt. Robert Wilson abruptly retired last week, leaving the department without its highest-ranking officer. Robert Lemons Jr. stepped down from the position of chief in January to return to his former job as lieutenant. Lt. Dan Stanek was tapped as "officer in charge" on April 30.
Luppino said he and the mayor had "very good discussions" in the past week before he accepted the position Tuesday afternoon.
"I'm honored," Luppino said. "I'm committed to this department and committed to moving it forward."
He said he planned to spend the first few weeks "getting everything on track" and fully staffing the department.
The relationship between the officers and mayor has been strained in recent weeks, prompting the police union representative to ask Washington City Council to remove Davis as the department's head. Luppino declined to comment about that situation and said it was time for everyone to move on from the past problems. He said he received support from his fellow officers immediately after the promotion was finalized.
Davis called the past few months "unfortunate" and said both she and the department need the community's support to move forward.
"My goal has always been to do what is in the best interest for the city of Washington," Davis said.
Luppino grew up in South Strabane Township and graduated from Trinity High School in 1989. He later attended Kent State University for two years before enrolling in the police academy. He has been a police officer for 22 years and moved to Washington after taking a job with the city's police department in 1995.

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

Dormont House Tour set for Oct. 6
Dormont House Tour returns after six-year hiatus
After a six-year hiatus, the Dormont House Tour is back. And, Dormont Public Library Director Cindy D'Agostino couldn't be happier.
For 18 years, the library had benefited from the tour, which featured houses, apartments and businesses throughout the borough. The event began in 1989 when Norm Simeone organized it. Tours continued until 2007 when the former library board member decided to step down.
An attempt to revitalize the tour failed in 2009 and no one offered to take over the reigns. Until this year, that is.
Because she and her girlfriends missed going on the tours, Janice Wyrostek volunteered.
"Every year I would call the library and say, 'Are you having it?' And, I'd get a 'no.' But this year they said, 'We can't get anyone to run it. Are you interested?' So I decided to give it a shot."
Because she worked for the municipality and is a crossing guard, Wyrostek is familiar with the community.
"Janice knows a lot of the homes and people in Dormont, which was a blessing," said D'Agostino. "She has connections."
While out walking, Wyrostek found some of the homes that will be featured on this year's tour. "I'd see a really cool house and just leave a note on the door," she said. Others volunteered their homes.
While she has never organized a house tour, Wyrostek said, "It's been running really smoothly." So smoothly, in fact, that almost every slot on next year's tour is filled.
The 2013 Dormont House Tour will take place 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 6. Eight homes, including a duplex, and three businesses: The Dormont Historical Society, Hollywood Theater and South Hills Power Yoga; will be featured.
Seven of the homes were built between 1910-1928 and are "just massive, square footage-wise," said D'Agostino, adding that the newest home was built in 1950.
This year's tour includes:
• 2960 West Liberty Avenue: Constructed in the early 1900s, this home was converted into three apartments in the mid-1950s. Since purchasing the home in 1993, the Malka family has restored it to a single-family dwelling. They also updated the bathrooms and renovated the kitchen.
• 1530 Grandin Avenue: Built in 1925, this home was in poor condition when Mame Kendall and Mary Ann Achter purchased it two years ago. They have since updated the plumbing and electrical systems and refinished the floors. A fifth bedroom has been converted into a second floor laundry.
• 1627-1629 Memorial Drive: This duplex, owned by Jeremy Smith and Christina Dorko was constructed in 1925 and renovated in 2005. One side reveals a "love of visual contrasts, creative reuse and all things vintage." The other reflects "machine-age functionalism, Pittsburgh's industrial heritage and the homeowners detail-oriented personality." Sharing a passion for art, the engaged couple has numerous works by regional artists. "This duplex is very unique because it's very different styles on either side," explained D'Agostino. "She's very eclectic and he's very modern, so it will be neat to see that."
• 3035 Windermere Avenue: Having only three owners since it was built in 1927, this 1800-square-foot home features an original Spanish tile roof along with original stained glass windows in the living room, dining room and second floor hallways. Since 2007, both the kitchen and master bath have been remodeled. A new deck and large, personal garden were both added by the owners, Alex Shetler and Mary Jo Maggio.
• 911 Parkside Avenue: Extensive repairs didn't deter George and Mary Beth Jaber from purchasing this 1928 fixer-upper. After tackling the roof, windows and drains, the homeowners moved on to the bathrooms, then added a fourth bedroom before remodeling the kitchen. Outside, a flagstone sidewalk, deck and shed will soon share space with a greenhouse and gardens as a 45-foot adjoining lot was recently acquired by the Jabers.
• 2700 Miles Avenue: This 1928 home, purchased from the original owners' daughter, was well-maintained but desperately required updates. Renovations began in 1993 and included new wiring and fixtures. "Layer after layer of wallpaper" was removed from the walls and ceilings. Rooms were opened up, bathrooms remodeled, windows replaced and original hardwood floors refinished. A large, stained glass window overlooking the entrance highlights this home, owned by Gary and Dode Scheimer.
• 1620 Kelton Avenue: Built in 1950 and renovated in 2000 by the current homeowner, interior designer James Kraus, this 1300-square-foot home is "masculine but modern," according to Wyrostek, with hardwood floors, fireplace and neutral color palette. A variety of trees, perennials and a stone fireplace complete the outside of the home.
• 2822 Espy Avenue: This Victorian home, which dates back to 1910 and was featured in 2007, welcomes tour goers back. A 55-foot porch, one of the largest in Dormont, invites visits to enjoy free refreshments and live music. The yard features an English garden, grape arbor, small fishpond and garden.
While she has not seen all of the interiors of the houses, D'Agostino is excited about the event and the enthusiasm the owners and Wyrostek have exhibited.
"I know some of the owners and how much work they've put into their homes," she said. "I trust Janice's knowledge. She's gone on more house tours, but we both have a love and appreciation for the character of homes in this neighborhood."
The Dormont House Tour is not a "decorator's tour." Instead, the tour highlights what has been done to preserve and enhance the qualities of Dormont homes, providing restoration, renovation and remodeling ideas.
An added bonus for tour participants will be the ability to view before and after pictures. "It gives you ideas for what you can go home and do," said Wyrostek. Homeowners will also be on hand to offer information and answer questions.
Because the borough encompasses just under 1-square mile of space, the Dormont House Tour is entirely "walkable". However, because the event will be held Sunday, free, on-street parking is available. Participating homes will be marked with yellow signs in their front yards.
Future plans are to add a garden tour, said D'Agostino, either separately or along with the house tour. But for now, she said, "We're just really blessed that we have such great help with Janice."
Proceeds from this year's tour will be added to the library's general fund, which helps to support programming, book budgets and salaries. Additionally, a $150,000 capital campaign is underway to repair erosion to the hill behind the library, which was built in 1962.

Time: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Someday, I will look back on this time as The Winter of One Shoe. That's how many shoes I can wear these days, one shoe or boot on my right foot and none on my left. My left foot is wrapped in about a thousand bandages, the therapy I'm undergoing for treatment of lymphedema.
Cancer surgery and treatment robbed me of some healthy lymph nodes, and my left leg is pretty much permanently swollen. Women with breast cancer sometimes get the swelling in their arms, and as with my leg, the only real treatment is massage and wrapping with bandages and padding.
There's so much padding on my left leg and foot that there is, literally, no shoe that will fit it. My legs are a tree trunk and a twig. My feet a tuba and a piccolo. I am as asymmetrical as a Picasso.
Vanity left me ages ago, so my concerns are not about how this looks. When chemotherapy makes you greet the world bald without eyelashes or brows, you get over yourself.
But it's been snowing out there. A lot. And much as I'd like to leave my fat leg at home when I go about my life, I've got to drag it out into the world. People with casts on broken legs have a hard outer shell that must give some protection from the snow. Mine has no hard shell, and so I'm hobbling to and fro with a leg that's basically a big, absorbent wad of Bounty. The other day, I stepped out of my car into the deep, dark abyss of a mud puddle. My leg slurped up that dirty water like a Huggies diaper. By the time I'd stumbled into the house, the muddy water had traveled up to my knee.
I'm spending a lot of time walking and standing this winter. Before I signed up for the wrapping therapy, I signed on to teach many, many credits at a university. It's the perfect storm of aggravation and humiliation.
I can't exactly teach with a bare foot, and so I found an enormous athletic shower shoe with a single Velcro strap. If I open that as far as it will allow, I can almost get into it. My foot resides in that shoe only in theory; my foot mostly sits atop the shoe as I slide the whole mess along the ground.
And so there I am, that hapless woman, shoulders laden with briefcases and bags, ambulating around the grassy hills of campus like Quasimodo, taking a step and dragging the other foot. My goal in life is not to teach my students well; it is to keep that rubber shoe on my foot.
This presents a problem in the classroom. Frequently, I become so involved in writing my lecture points on the board that I unwittingly step out of the shoe; then I have to stop teaching and go back to retrieve my shoe. My black, rubber, size 15 shoe. A shoe so mighty it could work as a life raft.
My students pretend not to notice. One young man sometimes meets me at my car and helps carry my bags into class. I like them all for that. I told one class I'm usually much cuter than this, and I'm about to prove it.
In two more weeks, the wrapping will be done, and I'll be wearing two matching shoes again. By then it will be almost spring, or to me, at least, it will feel like it.

I did a search and couldn't find anything either. Which seems strange, but I guess it happens. Some things slip through here without discussion.
I loved the movie! I have yet to see Quantum of Solace. I bought the blu ray cheap. I had heard so-so things but I'll give it a go. There was some really gorgeous cinematography on display here. The scenes in Shanghai and the climactic scene springs to mind. It just felt very classy. I really appreciated how, for the 50th anniversary, they reveled in the past (a bit) before clearly setting things up for the future.
I agree that Dench's M was given a great send off, though I was sad to see her go as well. That being said, Ralph Fiennes was set up well for his new role too. The new Q was great as well. Loved the bit with the gun and the radio.
Overall, I think the movie really gave the franchise the boost it needed for the future.

text: I'd like to see Modulok on the starndard buck as well. I don't know if they can actually do that given the multiple parts but if its possible the 4H can do it. I prefered the Modulok as he appears in the above comic cover or as we saw him in the cartoon. I wasn't a big fan of the toy either and would like to see him made as close to the standard buck figure as possible. However, that may not be possible. I wonder if he'll be one of those $30 dollar figures given the extra parts?

Viva Italiano – a celebration of food and music
Providence Point holds celebration of food, music
T he wintry weather has definitely taken its toll. Dull, dreary days are coming to an end as spring is just a week away. Social events are filling our calendars and outdoor activities will be a welcome relief from winter.
Dining Around the World events planned by Cura Hospitality and Providence Point in Scott Township have certainly kept the winter doldrums at bay. A few months have passed since I joined Providence Point residents for a Grecian adventure. And just last week, I was delighted to return for a few hours in Italy, without even leaving town.
Viva Italiano was delightful. Once greetings were shared with old friends and new, we gathered to enjoy a succulent international dinner prepared by Executive Chef Paul Bates, who was trained in Venice, Italy, and Sous Chef Scott Beattie.
"Tonight, I'm serving foods indigenous to both northern and southern Italy, flavors of the Old World," said Chef Paul.
A fresh antipasto of cheeses, vegetables and greens topped with tender, fried calamari along a side of rustic Italian bread and dipping oil raised anticipation of the next course to new heights. The chefs took great care in their presentation of grilled Venetian mackerel with a tapenade of olives, raisins, capers, onions and tomatoes. Sharing each plate was a generous serving of Sicilian chicken stuffed with prosciutto, spinach, provolone and wild mushrooms, drizzled with Madeira pan sauce. Sundried tomato-herb polenta and ricotta gnocchi in a fresh basil pesto tossed with sautéed broccoli rabe were awesome complements to the Italian specialties.
The delicious food quickly disappeared from the plates in my view. No surprise there! But everyone saved room for the pistachio spumoni and cannoli duet, a perfect sweet ending to the Italian cuisine.
Even before the feast was set before me, the evening was made perfect by the wonderful music of mandolin player Egidio "Jimmy" Faiella. Throughout dinner, he strolled among the guests, playing Italian favorites such as "Innamorata," Andrea Bocelli's "Con te Partiro" and the much-loved "That's Amore," made popular by Dean Martin.
Traditional music was a relaxing touch to a great meal. Dinner guests often sang or hummed along to familiar tunes as Jimmy entertained folks around the room, taking on a scene of an outdoor café in Italy.
"My grandfather Egidio's heartwarming homemade recording of his mandolin and acoustic guitar music is what encouraged me to master the beautiful tones of the Italian folk style of mandolin playing," said Jimmy. "I have wonderful memories of him performing 'Speranza Perdute' (The Lost Hope) on his mandolin, accompanied by my father, Eugene, on the acoustic guitar."
Jimmy's music credits include an episode on HBO's "The Sopranos," and "A Wedding for Bella" starring Scott Baio.

Phase II Checklist
- Have you completed the General Gemini Phase II checklist?
- Guider:
- When using PWFS2 the guide star must not be too close to the center or the probe arm may vignette the detector on some of the offset positions. This may be acceptable if the target is small or off-center, but it should be avoided if possible.
- When using PWFS2 the guide star must not be too close to the edge or it may be unreachable in some offset positions. This can be checked by using the Position Editor to visualize the probe positions for each offset step.
- The guide state in the offset iterator should be "guide" for all science dithers, and typically "freeze" for the sky dithers. Sky dithers can be guided if they are close enough to reach with the same guide star and if not offsetting frequently, as the guide probe moves rather slowly and therefore waiting for the guider will incur extra overhead
- OT Setup:
- Acquisitions are typically not necessary for f/6 imaging as the field of view is quite large (120"). Acquisitions are recommended to get the best centering on f/32 imaging.
- The sky background (which refers to optical sky background) should be set to "Any" for almost all near-IR (1-5 microns) observations.
- The water vapor should be set to "Any" for 1-3 micron observations and carefully considered for observations at wavelengths >3 microns.
- An extra offset is recommended to compensate for the first frame effect. This extra offset may be at the beginning (historically called a "dummy" frame) or simply added at the end.
- If there is a chance that any source will saturate the PI should include a note telling the observer what to do. Possible actions include: 1) nothing, 2) stop the observation and request feedback from the PI, 3) decrease the exposure time, 4) decrease the exposure time and increase the number of coadds. Decreasing the exposure time may require changing the read mode and/or array ROI, so the note should state whether these changes are allowed.
- If the target will not be obvious the PI should include a finder chart or a note stating that centering is not important.
- If the observing sequence is non-standard the PI should include a note so that the observer is not caught off guard (and to prevent the observer from trying to "fix" the observation).
- Offset iterators should typically be located below sequence iterators (which change the instrument configuration) since the telescope offsets much more quickly than the instrument can reconfigure (e.g. change filters).
- If combining >2.5micron imaging with 1-2.5micron imaging in the same visit, we recommend placing first in your sequence the >2.5 micron filters in order to have the baffles correcly set.
- Instrument Configuration:
- The focal plane mask must be set to "imaging" since this mechanism has failed and is now locked in this position.
- The beam splitter must be set to f/6 (also locked in position), although all the cameras may still be used for imaging.
- The exposure times should be appropriate. This means longer than the minimum allowed by the read mode and ROI, and short enough that saturation does not occur and the background has not changed too much. See the tables of minimum and maximum exposure times and the NIRI ITC if unsure.
- The detector read-mode, well-depth and subarray-size should be appropriate for the science goals and integration times. Typically deep-well is only used for thermal (L & M) imaging, and subarrays are only used to achieve very short exposure times.
- The detector subarray size should not change between the science target, calibrations and standards.
- The "Spectroscopy 1024x512" subarray size should not be used.
- Standards and Calibrations:
- Flats should be defined for all imaging at wavelengths < 3.3 microns. Note that these are taken during the day and will therefore not be charged to the program.
- Flat parameters must match those in the NIRI library.
- Photometric standards should be defined for all CC50 imaging programs, and are also recommended for CC70 programs in the case where the observations are executed under photometric conditions.
- Photometric standards should be chosen so that they will be observed at approximately the same airmass as the science target. When in doubt, use the photometric standard search to find the best options.
- Photometric standards should be fainter than 12th magnitude for broad-band f/6 imaging.
- Darks should be defined for all observing setups (same coadds, exposure times,read mode as your science observations)

AVELLA – A few minutes after the Avella girls basketball team's 59-35 win over visiting West Greene Monday night, Pioneers coach Jordan Watson postponed an interview to take a glance at the scorebook, curious to see how many points Avella senior Olivia English had.
He wasn't exactly thrilled with what he saw: a game-high 30 points on 11 field goals, an eight-of-12 performance from the free throw line.
"We couldn't stop her," Watson said.
On her team's senior night, English delivered a performance that won't soon be forgotten, and it helped erase the memory of losses on consecutive nights for the Eagles last week.
Avella improved to 8-1 in Section 3-A, 12-8 overall and can share the section title with Carmichaels – assuming the Mikes win out, too – by beating California Thursday.
"We came out on Senior Night like we wanted to win, and now we're that much closer to a section title," said English, who also finished with 15 rebounds. "We have a big game on Thursday."
Besides English, Kenna Drazich contributed 10 points, and Laura Craig had nine. West Greene (3-6, 11-9) got 11 points and 10 rebounds from Madison Raber, 10 points and 12 rebounds from her sister, Alyssa.
"We know she's going to catch the ball at the foul line and drive right," Watson said. "We have it in our scouting report. She's going to weak-side rebound really hard. At West Greene, we held her to eight points. Tonight, she scored 30.
"It was the same thing last year. She exploded here both years. She didn't do one thing that wasn't on our scouting report, so we knew what was coming. We just couldn't stop it."
Especially in the second quarter, when Avella used an 18-0 run to push the game out of reach.
After a sluggish first quarter that saw West Greene take a 12-6 lead, Avella began to make the Pioneers play at a faster tempo with a full-court press and poured in 18 points during a 2-minute, 59-second stretch.
Ten of those points came from English.
"We have 10 seconds to get to half-court, and we were getting there in about two," Watson said. "It's real simple: When we speed up, we turn the ball over. So we have to slow down."
Alyssa Raber hit a three-pointer seven seconds into the third quarter to make it an eight-point game, but Avella responded with seven quick points, including a putback and a jumper from English.
Drazich drove the lane for two of her 10, and the Eagles never looked back, content to bury those losses against Carmichaels and Chartiers-Houston and instead focus on the possibility of sharing a section title.
"There was a lot of urgency to win this one," Drazich said. "We knew what we needed to do."

N. Strabane Township man held for court
A North Strabane Township man accused of inappropriately touching a young girl over a nine-month period will stand trial on charges filed against him by township police.
The 7-year-old girl testified against Richard G. Crowley, 61, of 103 Partridge Way, during a preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge Jay Weller.
Crowley is accused of having contact with the girl on at least three occasions between June 2012 and March 2013. Police learned of the alleged assaults after the girl told her mother.
Police Lt. Dan Levi charged Crowley with indecent assault, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children.
At his arraignment, Crowley told Weller he had been a custodian in South Fayette School District. He remains free on his own recognizance.

The realm of the Empire is vast and contains a wide variety of different warriors, each with their own unique fighting style. However, for the most part, the Empire is the primary kingdom of mankind and they stand-fast against the forces of other races who wish to invade or destroy their people and their lands.Empire armies tend to be as diverse as their Generals. The choice of different troops to include in an Empire army is vast and in addition to the warriors of the Elector Counts, Empire armies may also include the powerful machinery of the Imperial College of Engineers in their ranks. There are few living armies in the Warhammer world who can stand in front of a charging Steam Tank or rush into the path of a Helblaster Volley Gun without feeling the cold sweat of fear run down their backs.

Gary Weinstein, chief executive officer of Washington Hospital, was quick to point out this was not deja vu all over again.
On Monday, he and the CEOs of Washington County's two other hospitals appealed jointly to the Washington County Redevelopment Authority for money from the county's Local Share Account – as they did three years ago. And, like 2010, they sought $1 million per facility over three years to upgrade a similar program at each.
But this time, instead of striving to enhance electronic record-keeping, their reason for requesting funds was to improve their medical imaging programs.
"The top three diseases that are treated in Washington County are cancer, diabetes and heart disease," said Terry Wiltrout, CEO of Canonsburg General Hospital. "Each hospital has a plan to upgrade its imaging to improve diagnosis."
Weinstein, Wiltrout and Louis Panza, their colleague counterpart at Monongahela Valley Hospital, made a joint pitch to the 11-member share account committee Monday in the Courthouse Square Office Building in Washington. It was the first of two days of hearings, which will conclude today, from organizations seeking funds from the four-year-old program. The money became available for economic and community development projects from The Meadows Racetrack & Casino.
About $26.6 million in funds – well above the approximate $7 million that will be available – was being sought for 73 projects. Representatives of 44 were heard Monday. At least one person from each organization has two minutes to make a case for the money, and the committee can ask questions for three.
Decisions on organizations that get funds, and whether they receive all that they request, will be made public later, probably in February.
Jeff Kotula, executive director of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, is the committee chair.
Three years ago, Telford Thomas and Kim Malinky were the CEOs at Washington and Canonsburg General, and they joined Panza in their request for the medical imaging funds. During his part of the presentation Monday, Panza spoke about the advantages of having and maintaining three hospitals in the county.
"In addition to the jobs created by our hospitals, a lot of other health-related jobs have been created in the area," Panza said. "Fifteen hospitals have closed in Western Pennsylvania in the past 15 years. Keeping these three hospitals economically viable is important."
Washington County Health Center also made a request Monday, for $211,000 to upgrade its medical record-keeping. That is one of several projects totaling $915,000 that are planned at the Chartiers Township facility.
Health center administrator Tim Kimmel pointed out that by 2014, all medical facilities will have to be using electronic health records. Having an updated system that is integrated with other health-related systems is vital to his facility's operation, he said.
The joint hospital request was one of three projects seeking $1 million-plus Monday. The Independence-Cross Creek Joint Sewer Authority asked for about $2 million for pressure sewer extensions for Cross Creek Village and Independence Village. North Franklin Township was seeking $1.1 million for a bridge replacement project on Franklin Farms Road.
The final 29 presentations are to run from 9 to 11:30 a.m. today. Kotula said the panel will forward its recommendations to the Washington County commissioners.

An arrest warrant has been obtained for a Canonsburg man accused of abandoning his 8-year-old son Thursday night at a South Strabane Township shopping center.
South Strabane police said Nathaniel T. Engott, 33, of 136 E. Pike St., left the boy at Walmart, Trinity Point, just before 8 p.m.
Personnel at the store told police that it was the second time the boy asked for help finding his father. About 7:30 p.m., the boy asked for assistance in finding his father. The boy indicated he hadn't seen his father for about five minutes. When they paged Engott, he reappeared and took the boy.
Twenty minutes later, the boy returned and again asked for help in finding his dad. Engott was paged, but he never appeared.
The boy told police that after buying several items, his father went to the nail salon and had a pedicure. While Engott did that, the boy said he went into several stores at Trinity Point.
The two went to Moe's for dinner, then waited at Walmart for a bus to return to Canonsburg. The boy told police that he was playing with his new penknife when he noticed his father was no longer with him. He said he went back to Walmart looking for help in locating his father.
Canonsburg police went to Engott's home but were unable to find him. Neighbors told police that the 8-year-old and his 7-year-old brother often go to their homes, looking for food. Police also had received a previous report of the boy riding his bicycle in the very early morning.
South Strabane police said that as of Friday afternoon, Engott had not been located. Washington County Children and Youth Services was notified and placed the boy with a foster family. Earlier this month, police said Engott reportedly put the younger boy on a plane to Florida to live with his grandmother.
Police obtained the warrant on charges of endangering the welfare of children and disorderly conduct from District Judge Jay Weller.

USC mulls daycare center
The owner of a property located on N. Highland Road near Abbeyville Road in Upper St. Clair would like to open a school/day care center in that location, however the township would have to amend its zoning ordinance in order for him to do so.
Alexander Bunson owns the property in question, a home located near Trader Joe's grocery store on 266 square-feet shy of an acre. At a public hearing held the board of commissioners' April 1 meeting, Bunson, along with planning consultant Roberta Saraf and Bob Santo, owner of the Goddard School in Peters Township, presented information as to why they think the location would be suitable for a school/day care center.
Bunson told commissioners and residents that it appears there is a "great need" for a day care center in Upper St. Clair. He added that he's been approached by the owners of the Goddard School about the possibility of a day care on his property.
"This is a text amendment" to the zoning ordinance, Saraf told commissioners. She said with what they are proposing, the property would still remain zoned R-3. She said the township's ordinance allows for semi-public uses in R-3 districts for places like churches and schools – but not day care centers. Also, the ordinance states that those semi-public uses must be on a minimum of one acre.
Saraf said the township's ordinance provides for day care as an "accessory use to the semi-public use," such as a church having a day care center in it. The text amendment Saraf and Bunson would like to see would provide for day care centers to be approved as a conditional use in the R-3 district.
Other R-3 districts in the township include Boyce Road and Fort Couch Road, which are a mix of both residential and commercial uses.
Santo said the Goddard School, which accepts children age 6 weeks to 6 years, would be "good for Upper St. Clair." Santo projected the building could bring in $18,000 more per year in school taxes and added that, based on 10 children from the township attending the Goddard School instead of Upper St. Clair public schools for one year, the district could see a savings of $80,000.
Santo said about 20 students from Upper St. Clair out of about 200 attend the Goddard School, but he added that there's a wait list of two years to get in the school.
"It seems to me we'd be happy to have such a school in the community," said Commissioner Donald Rectenwald Jr. "It seems like a terrific addition to the community if it could be done."
Board President Robert Orchowski stressed that the evening's presentation regarding a possible school was in no way preliminary plans for a school. Township Solicitor Irving Firman added that all the board is looking at is the zoning amendment to allow day care centers in the R-3 district.
Many residents spoke out, both for and against the zoning amendment and the possibility of a school/day care center along N. Highland Road.
Francis Kilinsky, who lives on Patton Drive, said he's concerned that a day care center will "lower the value of homes on Patton Drive." He added, "It will add to congestion on N. Highland and Abbeyville Road."
"It all sounds beautiful inside and out, but I'm sure none of you would want it in your backyard," resident Mary Lou Blair told commissioners. "I would like you to consider not approving it."
Resident Ryan Buries, who said his children attend the Goddard School in Peters Township, said the location there is very well put together. He said, "Whether that site (on N. Highland) is the right one or not is debatable. An additional day care facility that's not affiliated with a religious institution is something that should be taken seriously."
Resident Scott Berchel agreed with Buries that "There are none [day cares] in Upper St. Clair that aren't religious affiliated." Berchel said his children also attend the Goddard School in Peters Township and having one in Upper St Clair "would be a huge asset to the community."
"It's something that should be in Upper St. Clair. I'd much rather have it close-by," said Michael Kalocay who sends his children to the Goddard School in Peters Township.
The public will have another opportunity to comment on the zoning amendment May 6 at a public hearing set for 7:30 p.m.

Last month we introduced new touch editing experiences for Windows 8 and iOS tablets. You can read more on that here.
With this release, we'll continue to offer a view-only experience on most smartphones, but we are also making document viewing more touch-friendly in browsers on many popular smartphones. We prioritized such touch-enabled viewing so you can easily access and read Office documents on SkyDrive or Office 365 whether you're using a desktop, tablet, or smartphone browser.
In designing Office Web Apps for mobile browsers, we set out to achieve the following goals:
- Touch enabled experience on all major smartphone platforms (Windows Phone 7.5 and up, iOS 5.0 and up, and Android 4.0 and up)
- Make good use of the limited screen real estate
Make it simple for people to read and navigate document content
Here are the basic gestures we support:
- Flick vertically to navigate through a Word document
- Flick horizontally to navigate through a PowerPoint slide deck
- Pan in any direction to navigate Excel spreadsheets
- To open the toolbar, tap the screen, then tap the toolbar indicator, and you'll see the toolbar on the side of the screen.
Interacting with files
Now let's take a look at how you can interact with files from your mobile device:
Word Viewing
To optimize reading Word docs on your mobile browser, we designed documents to reflow to achieve the best readability. Most of the document's text formatting and content types (images, SmartArt, shapes, text boxes, etc.) are preserved.
If you need to adjust the text size further to read more easily, you can open the Font-size tab on the toolbar.
A common user scenario for working with large documents is the need to navigate to a specific page. With touch-friendly Office, users don't have to swipe repeatedly to move down page after page. Instead, users can drag the page slider on the right side to go to a specific page quickly.
If you see a table that flows over the edge of the screen, you can drag the table horizontally to view all of it. We take advantage of the touch capability to keep the format as close as possible to the actual table, so as not to sacrifice a good user experience.
You can tap on a thumbnail image to enlarge it.
Excel Viewing
Excel Mobile Viewer provides high fidelity viewing of your Excel files.
When a chart extends beyond the screen, users can use the Zoom function to choose a designated view for the chart, which lets you zoom in and zoom out on it.
Often, there is more than one spreadsheet in a workbook. You see a list of spreadsheets on the toolbar and then tap on the one you'd like to open.
You can tap on the Sort button to sort an Excel table in ascending or descending order-if the table you access already had sorting enabled.
You can tap on "+" or "-" symbol in a Pivot table, or the Group Data view, to expand or collapse data.
PowerPoint Viewing
We designed PowerPoint presentations to display so that they best utilize the mobile landscape. For instance, when you hold your phone vertically, the view is divided in half (we call this "split view") so that the top half displays the slide, and the lower half displays the text on the slide, including the notes. This is quite useful when you are on-the-go and want to quickly go through the content of the slide without having to pan around the slide area.
If you wish to view only the slide, you can hold your phone horizontally so that only the slide image is shown.
To zoom, you can simply pinch on the slide no matter which view you are in.
Last but not least, you can join a presentation online in your mobile browser. Imagine that you are stuck in traffic while an important presentation at work is taking place using the latest Office Presentation Service. You can join the presentation by tapping on the link sent to your inbox.
We encourage you to try out the new Office Web Apps Preview on skydrive.com or on Office 365 and preview on your mobile phone (if you are using: Windows Phone 7.5 and up/iOS 5.0 and up/Android 4.0 and up)
We want to hear from you, please share your experience. From the toolbar, click "Give Feedback."
We are constantly refining and improving the experience, and are actively listening to what you like and don't like.

Almost 4,000 baggies of suspected heroin along with $33,477 and a loaded .45-caliber handgun were seized Wednesday morning when members of the state police SERT team served a search warrant at a home at 612 Fifth St., Donora.
Taken into custody about 7 a.m. were Quinte Crane, 34, of McKeesport, who was wanted on a bench warrant in Allegheny County, and Ashleigh Byrd, 38, who lived at the Donora residence. She was wanted on a probation detainer in Westmoreland County.
Cpl. Frank Konek Jr., supervisor of the state police vice unit, said his unit and the Washington County District Attorney's Drug Task Force started the investigation in October after getting complaints of drug trafficking at the residence.
"We followed up with controlled buys, which led to us obtaining a search warrant," Konek said Wednesday afternoon. "We found pretty much what we expected based on the comings and goings at the house."
The gun found had an obliterated serial number. Konek said Crane was a mid- to upper-level dealer.
Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone commended the work by state police, the task force as well as Donora police and sheriff's deputies in eliminating a major heroin operation in the Mon Valley.
"This operation underscores the need for cooperative police work," Vittone said. "We will continue to focus our efforts on eliminating and prosecuting dangerous drug dealers operating in the county."
A 27-year-old McKeesport man was also in the house when the warrant was served, Konek said. Police will investigate to determine whether he had any involvement in the operation.
Charges of possession and possession with intent to deliver heroin and person not to possess a firearm will be filed against Crane at the office of District Judge Mark Wilson. He was placed in the Allegheny County jail on the warrant. Byrd will be charged with possession and possession with intent to deliver heroin. She is in the Westmoreland County jail on the detainer.

Washington County Coroner Tim Warco has ridden atop a firetruck in Canonsburg's annual Fourth of July parade for 21 years – and it would be 22, if it weren't for a plan to downsize this year.
The Canonsburg parade committee decided to limit the number of participants this year in order to trim an event that has "gotten a little bloated" over the past two years, according to parade Co-Chairman Sean Terling.
Canonsburg Mayor David Rhome and Canonsburg council members were the only elected officials invited to walk or ride along the parade route this year. Other cuts included two car clubs and any fire department that is not in the immediate Canonsburg area.
Terling said the committee hopes the parade, which usually lasts over three hours, can be reduced to no more than two hours.
Although it "wasn't an easy decision," Terling said many residents have other holiday plans, and watching scores of cars and walkers can be more daunting than delightful.
"We looked at it and tried to evaluate it from an entertainment value and see where we could get the most bang for our buck," he said.
Warco said he was disappointed in the decision and questioned whether cutting elected officials from the parade would actually save time. He enjoyed taking his nephew on a fire truck that chugged along the parade route, and he hoped to continue that tradition with his grandson once he was old enough.
"I'm like a big kid. I enjoyed that parade, and I looked forward to it," he said. "I hope they achieve their motivation by downsizing, and if they continue to downsize, maybe no one will come."
State Rep. Brandon Neuman, D-North Strabane, said he had not heard about the parade cuts, but he still plans on attending even if he cannot participate.
"It's great for the town, and it's great for Canonsburg," he said. "It draws a lot of good attention to a small town. If I'm not going to be in the parade, I guess they'll tell me soon."
Washington County Commissioner Diana Irey Vaughan has participated in the Canonsburg parade for about 18 years, but she did not object to the plan to downsize.
"The parade has gotten longer over the years, and it's certainly understandable, them having to downsize," she said, adding that she will be happy to watch the parade from the crowd. "They do a terrific job with the parade."
Terling said the committee has received some backlash for the decision, but he urges elected officials to join larger clubs or organizations to participate in the parade, which would be more time effective than each individual having his or her own car. State Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg, is also the first assistant chief of Canonsburg's Volunteer Fire Department, so he will be riding a fire truck in the parade. Terling said that ultimately, the decision to downsize was nothing personal, and "if there are people that are turned away, hopefully they understand."

A Washington funeral supervisor has volunteered to serve as overseer of prearranged funerals at Claysville's only funeral home, which closed about a month ago after its owner took an unannounced health leave.
Thomas W. Hummell of Hummell & Jones Funeral Home on Locust Avenue said he has placed the files of Michael H. Heinrich in safekeeping and that they all appear to be secure.
He said Heinrich's customers have been asking questions and "need some peace of mind that their money is safe."
A new owner also is expected to be announced soon for the Heinrich business at 219 Main St., Hummell said.
Heinrich apologized March 12 for stepping away from his business and not leaving a sign in its window or a telephone number to reach him after his funeral home's closing made the news.
Hummell said more than 100 people had prepaid their funerals with Heinrich and are free to have arrangements transferred to a funeral home of their choosing.
Pennsylvania law is strict in the way in which it requires funeral directors to set aside money they collect for prearranged funerals to prevent the money from being misappropriated, Hummell said.
"It has to be placed into a commercial bank or a life insurance policy," he said. "Some people are wondering where their money is and what happened to it."
Hummell said Claysville residents are familiar with him because his name hung on the wall for many years as supervisor of the town's funeral home.
He can be reached at 724-225-7710.

SF Lady Lions wins Class AA swim title; Damich a double winner
Thanks to victories in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 400-yard freestyle relay, South Fayette clinched its first WPIAL girls' swimming on the second day of Class AA competition championship at the University of Pittsburgh's Trees Pool.
"This is unbelievable," said Morgan Fink, who won three gold medals in the meet. "We won a section title for the first time in 15 years and now our first WPIAL championship. This is absolutely amazing."
Amazing was how the Lady Lions dominated the field. South Fayette racked up 252 points to claim the Class AA trophy. West Allegheny secured the runner-up hardware with a 222.5 score.
South Fayette opened and closed the meet with triumphs in the relays. After winning the medley relay yesterday, the Lady Lions breezed to the win in the 400 free relay in 3:36.39 time, a full 4.4 seconds ahead of second-place West Allegheny. Fink anchored the relay, which included Maddie Bartrug, Mary Rosati and Sydney Briner.
"The relay was awesome. We were pumped up," said Fink of the relay. "Nothing was going to stop us. We worked so hard for this."
Fink worked hard in her signature swim, the 100-yard breaststroke. Last year's WPIAL champion finished first this time by five-tenths of the second. In the process, the senior set a new school record with her 1:05.01 time.
"It was nice to defend my title," she said. "I usually try to take it out fast. Luckily, I had the endurance to finish it."
Before she heads to Duquesne, Fink hopes to do well at the PIAA championships set for March 13-14 at Bucknell University. She says she'd like a Top 8 finish in both her races as she has done in the past.
"More records," she said with a laugh. "It's been a fantastic year and winning WPIALs is a great end to a great year. I'm glad it's not over yet."
It's a long way from being over for Drew Damich. The Chartiers Valley sophomore won his second gold medal of the competition when he cruised to victory in the 500-yard freestyle. He won the 200 free as well.
Damich entered the event as the favorite so he was expected to win. "But not by that much," he said. Damich won in 4:40.87. Montour's Jarod Kehl took seond in 4:46.37.
"I'm really happy with where I am," he said. "I like this pool. It's a fast pool and my favorite pool. It's the fastest pool I've competed in."
Trees Pool proved fast for a number of other area swimmers who placed in the Top 8 and medaled. Other top finishers included:
* Mary Rosati, fourth in the 500 free.
* Maddie Bartrug, eighth in the 100 free.
* Michael Schmidt from CV, fourth in the 500 free.
* Danielle Pekular from Bishop Canevin, sixth, 100 back.
* South Fayette's boys 400 free relay team of Timothy Bernhardt, Matt Guyan, Evan Zombek, Ryne Fromholzer, fourth.
* CV's 400 free relay of Schmidt, Joshua Rosato, Paul Novelli and Damich, fifth.
* Timothy Bernhardt, seventh, 100 breast.

In many ways, Luca Tomassetti is your typical 9-year-old boy.
He's shy. He likes sports. He plays football, basketball and enjoys wrestling. He plays sports for fun.
Tomassetti, however, is highly competitive and passionate about his favorite game.
Yes, pool. Pocket billiards. The game that was made popular decades ago by legends like Willie Mosconi and played in smoke-filled pool halls and dimly lit bars.
Tomassetti loves to play pool. He spends 10 to 20 hours a week playing various games and honing his developing skills. "Nine-ball is my favorite," he says.
And he's very good at it. Really.
Give the fourth-grade student at Allison Park Elementary a pool cue and a rack of billiard balls, then watch Tomassetti work his magic. Those who play regularly at places like South Hills Golden Cue in Bridgeville, Breakers in Dormont or Steel City Billiards in Brentwood have seen Tomassetti in action and have been impressed, especially after they've been beaten by the Houston youth.
Tomassetti has developed quite a reputation for being an advanced player for his age. That reputation sparked Allen Hopkins, the organizer of last month's Super Billiards Expo in Edison, N.J., to grant Tomassetti an exemption to play in the tournament, which is for the Junior Nationals title. The only problem for Tomassetti was that he had to play against older competition, in the 12-and-under division.
All Tomassetti did was place third out of 49 players, who came from Indiana, Florida, Georgia and other states. He won four 9-ball matches before losing to the eventual champion in the semifinals.
"I was nervous," Tomassetti said. "I felt like I was going to lose the first match, but I kept on winning."
Tomassetti, who already knows a lot about winning, had some things stacked against him in the age-group format. Most of his competitors were older, stronger and bigger. He has to use a bridge – a stick with a frame at the end that is used to support a cue for a shot that is difficult to reach – more often than most of his competitors.
"He uses it quite often for shots that are far away," says Mary Tomassetti, Luca's mother. "That's one of his problems right now. And older kids are stronger, which usually means they break a rack harder. But Luca makes up for those things by looking at every shot. He's so serious when he plays. You can see that he's thinking where every ball is going to be on the table three shots after his next one."
What makes Tomassetti's performance in New Jersey especially remarkable is that he's been playing pool for only about a year. His father, Jim Tomassetti, who has played for many years, decided to let Luca tag along one day while he shot pool, just to see how the youngster would take to the game.
"He came back and said Luca liked it right away, and that he naturally has it," Mary Tomassetti recalled.
The "it" is the ability to see shots before they happen. Any good pool player not only has to know all the angles, he also has to see what future shots will be set up by the next shot.
"I like this better than other sports because there is more to it," Luca Tomassetti said. "You have to learn all the positions, angles and caroms. I think about three shots ahead."
That kind of thinking has helped Tomassetti win tournaments in the Pittsburgh area that have included adults. "I won one with about 30 adults about five months ago," he said.
Tomassetti plays regularly at South Hills Golden Cue under the tutelage of his coach, Leo Fascetti. At the Super Billiards Expo, several of the professional players in attendance took time to teach Tomassetti how to play three-cushion billiards, which is considered the most difficult of the pool games.
"My favorite game is 9-ball. But I like billiards, too. There are no pockets in that game, which means you can't scratch," Tomassetti said with a youthful laugh.

Cecil, North Strabane, Peters stoke county's population growth
Cecil, North Strabane and Peters townships share borders – and much more. They are the fastest-growing municipalities in burgeoning Washington County.
The U.S. Census Bureau released 2012 population estimates for cities, boroughs and townships nationwide, and, as anticipated, those aforementioned communities led the way locally in increases from their official population figures of 2010.
Lower taxes, Marcellus Shale-related job opportunities, quality of life and an increase in retail often are cited as attractions to the county.
Cecil experienced the greatest estimated growth in Washington County since 2010, at 2.8 percent. The Census Bureau pegged last year's population at 11,589, up 318 residents from 11,271.
North Strabane was second, with a 2.5 percent increase in two years, gaining 330 residents for a total of 13,738. Peters' population rose 1.9 percent to 21,606, with 393 more people than its 21,213 in 2012.
Chartiers Township, a geographic neighbor of all three, was the only other Washington County community of 1,000-plus residents that grew at least one percent in the Census calculations. Chartiers added 95 people to its 2010 total of 7,818, a 1.2 percent hike to 7,913.
Those four fueled a county-wide increase of 0.4 percent, from a population of 207,820 in 2010 to 208,716 – up 896. Only 19 of the county's 66 municipalities, however, showed growth, many of them marginal.
The city of Washington, the county's third-most populous municipality, had one of the largest declines. The county seat lost 108 from its 2010 figure of 13,663, falling 0.7 percent to 13,555.
North Strabane manager Frank Siffrinn was "not surprised" by the census figures pertaining to his community.
"The growth potential in the township over the last two censuses has been about 25 percent, and we expect that trend to continue," he said.
Siffrinn pointed out that plans that have been approved or are pending approval will result in the construction of 800 housing units – some single-family, some multi-family – over "the next three to five years" in North Strabane.
Manager Mike Silvestri wasn't taken aback by Peters' population prosperity.
"Peters is always consistently growing," he said. "It is a desirable place to move because of all the services and amenities we have."
He said about one-third of the land in his expansive township is available for development, and that "quite a few" housing subdivisions have been approved and are awaiting construction.
"We anticipate the growth to continue, although we don't believe it will be at the rates of the early 2000s," Silvestri said. "But we hope for 100 or so new homes each year. Last year, 116 homes were constructed here. This helps us maintain a steady tax rate and allows us to continue to provide services people expect."
Cecil supervisor Tom Casciola could not be reached for comment. Township Manager Don Gennuso was on vacation.
