In memory of Mr. H.R. SISLER, who passed away April 25, 1937.
Father, you are gone away from us,
But you just seem near somehow;
How 'oft we've longed to see you
And to kiss you wrinkled brow.
The home seems sad and lonely,
And you chair is left unfilled;
But God called in his Glory,
And his calls are all fulfilled.
You left us sad and tearful,
When you left us all that day;
But we never will forget you,
Though God has taken you away.
Written by his granddaughter, Laurine SISLER.
(It's my guess that H.R. was actually Horace Resley to start with. There was a real Horace Resley who was a very prominent attorney and one time clerk of the court in Allegany County, about the time this Mr. Sisler was born. Many of my ancestors named a son Horace Resley whatever, after they'd done business with the attorney. Connie)

Same person but a lot more history.
William Edgar STANTON, 71, died suddenly about 4:30 o'clock Monday morning, January 19, 1942, of a heart attack. He became ill about 3 a.m., and died a few minutes before a physician arrived. He had suffered from a heart ailment for several years but had seemed much improved. A slight attack occurred a few weeks ago, but was not considered alarming, and he apparently had recovered sufficiently to be out. He attended church Sunday morning, chatted with friends and called upon his neighbor, and seemed to feel exceptionally well. His sudden death came as a distinct shock to his family and friends.
Mr. STANTON was one of Grantsville's most substantial citizens and was held in the highest esteem by all who know him. The task of writing a fitting obituary for this highly respected gentleman is a difficult one as mere words do not seem sufficient to express his splendid character and his outstanding place in the community. He was widely known throughout this section. His grandfather founded "Stanton's Mill" at Little Crossings and was in turn succeeded by his son, Eli STANTON, (W. E. STANTON's father) who conducted the business for many years. Upon his graduation from the Paughkeepsie Business School at Paughkeepsie, N. Y., W. E. STANTON entered the business in partnership with his father, and after a few years took over its ownership. He has successfully conducted the establishment since 1909. For the past few years he has been assisted by his son, Edgar V. STANTON, and son-in-law, Bryon H. BENDER. For a number of years Mr. STANTON also served on the Board of Directors of the former First National Bank of Grantsville, and for six years held the office of vice-president.
In addition to his interest in the affairs of his community, he also took an active part in the work of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Church, of which he was a life-long member. He had been an officer in the organization for years, first as Deacon, and later as Elder, which office he has held for the past twenty years. Until the time of his death he was actively interested in the work of the Consistory Board of the church, of which he was also a member. He was always willing to cooperate with his fellows and a generous contributor to any cause he felt to be just and worthy. A sizable donation to the present Red Cross campaign, a few days ago, was possibly his last contribution. The congregation to which he belonged, as well as the entire community owes him much for his ardent support and his loss will be felt keenly, not only by his bereaved family, but by the entire community.
Mr. STANTON was born September 28, 1870, a son of the late Eli and Harriett Broadwater STANTON, and was the third of five children. In September 1897 he married Miss Rebecca VAN SICKEL, of Somerfield. They were the parents of five children. A daughter, Lillian, died at the age of three months. In addition to their mother, the following children survive. Mrs. Bryon H. BENDER, Mrs. Lena S. BENDER and Edgar V. STANTON, Grantsville, and Mrs. Stanton FUNK, Washington, Pa. He also leaves a brother, J. Urban STANTON, Grantsville, a sister, Mrs. Harvey H. MAUST, Salisbury, Pa., and four grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Alvin J. FORRY, pastor of the local church, and Rev. L. N. WILSON, Berlin, Pa. Soh

We asked Get Ahead readers to share their stories of weight loss with us. Subramanian H K, a 26-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, tells us how he managed to shrink his waistline by five inches, and shares some fitness dos and don'ts.
About nine months ago, my friend Mark Viduka (name changed), who is ultra-skinny, passed a funny comment about my weight, which was a staggering 84 kilos (on a 5' 6" frame) back then. I promptly replied that I could drop the excess weight in no time. He just said. "It's impossible, I won't believe it until I see it."
Fast-forward to the present. Today, most of my colleagues still comment on my physique, but the comments are all complimentary. Some of them even approach me for suggestions on diets or exercise regimes. The days of wearing my belt at the penultimate hole are long gone. Now, I wear the same belt hooked to the innermost hole, and it is still not tight enough. The inch tape reads 31 on my waist now, and I weigh 68 kilos.
I used to be a gym freak even when I was pursuing undergrad studies. But what I lacked then was the right information and resources. Even though I spent two hours at the gym every day, I never saw any results. In 2002 I went to the US for my Master's degree, where I survived solely on pizzas and burgers. Within six months, all my trousers were too tight for me.
That was when I took my first step towards fitness. I vowed not to touch another pizza again, and I still follow that rule, except for indulging in one or two pizzas a year. Later, with the help of some American friends and based on my own resources and experiments, I learnt a lot about the metabolic dynamics of the human body from a body builder's perspective. Based on my research I realised that, basically, fitness is not just about lifting weights, not just about running fives miles a day, and not just about having a protein-rich diet. Each one of these is important, and your fitness regime would be incomplete without any one of these elements.
Weight loss (more precisely, weight control) is not a myth. Everyone can lower his or her weight. It is sad, though, that most people get scared of a little hard work and just give up on getting fit. In reality, going to the gym can be quite addictive. Once you get into a routine, you will not want to miss a single workout session even if your girlfriend/ boyfriend gives you an ultimatum!
The most effective and healthy way to burn fat, in my experience, is to add muscle, do cardio exercises and maintain a healthy diet. A friend of mine runs on the treadmill for 40 minutes everyday. Though the exercise should help him lose weight, he still looks plump, and even a short break from his cardio regime causes his weight to shoot up.
Cardio exercises may be the most effective for women (along with diet control). But for men, building muscle improves metabolism significantly, which means fat is continuously burnt even when you are not in the gym. I do cardio exercises only once or twice a week for 30 minutes, and am still able to control my weight only because I have invested a lot of time and effort on building muscle.
A word on supplements
Some wannabe, know--it-all fitness gurus rule out supplements as nothing more than marketing strategies. On the other hand, some people take supplements expecting miracles without any effort. The common trait the two share is ignorance. What I have found is that supplements are blessings of science for fitness freaks. Supplements can be very beneficial if you know how to use them.
A common myth is that supplements are illegal; many even believe they are some sort of steroid. The fact is that dietary supplements, as their name suggests, are something that you can include in your daily diet schedule. Even Horlicks is a supplement, for that matter! Supplements are nothing but processed food, unlike steroids, which are artificially synthesised hormones.
How to get fit
I am not going to lay out my diet plan or workout schedule simply because every individual's need is different. Understanding one's own body dynamics is half the battle won.
There are, however, some general rules that help lose those extra kilos.
Some dos
Some don'ts
In India, the meaning of good health is accepted as not having any disease; in the US you are considered fit if you are able to run 10 miles. That is a huge difference in the mindset. What you must realise is that the definition differs from culture to culture and person to person. There is no such thing as an ideal weight or ideal shape. Each person has to decide what fitness means with regard to his or her body and health. Try to stay fit; the desired weight and shape will follow.

Dina Lohan aiming to exploit family on tv
Dina Lohan is looking to exploit the fame of her children by having her own tv show, tentatively called "Mom-Ager". She is aiming to turn her two youngest – Ali and Cody – in to mega stars like Lindsay Lohan. And likely would step over them for any spotlight of her own, which is so sad.
Having apparently not yet seen the latest cover of People, Dina Lohan — who fancies herself "the white Oprah" and recently test-drove the TV waters with a gig on ET — is in talks to helm her own E! reality series, Mom-ager, in which she would attempt to secure for her youngest children, Ali, 14, and Cody, 11, the fabulous fame that Lindsay is now enjoying/burning off at the Promises rehab center. Speaking for many of us, a source says to the New York Post's Page Six, "Can you believe that? [Dina] totally messed up Lindsay…. And now she's going to do the same to the other two? Those kids should be in school having normal lives, the life that Lindsay didn't get to have."

Oberg Finishes Season with Momentum for 2010
Eagle River, WI (October, 28, 2009) - After his best weekend of the year in Perris, Mike Oberg and his #80 AMSOIL BFGoodrich Tires Chevy continued to build momentum for the 2010 season. The final round of the year saw Mike take the gray and black PRO-2WD truck to a fifth place finish. But that didn't mean there wasn't any drama during the weekend.
The track layout was a typical TORC short track design with a combination of fast high flying jumps and a great technical rhythm section through the infield. The design was awesome, but the dry desert soil was not. Friday night's races had to be stopped a few times to get the track watered, and have the dust settle. Undaunted, the TORC track crew worked around the clock to improve track conditions, and thanks to their perseverance, Saturday night's series finale was an awesome show.
After Friday's practice session, Bill Schliepper from ProPower came over to the Oberg pit to check on his customer's engine. The inspection found a problem with the valve train, so a rapid decision was made to pull out the backup truck and prepare it for racing.
With five hours until race time, crew chief Cory Lambert and his crew went to work, making suspension changes, and other adjustments to get the '07 Keith Stamper built chassis ready. Thanks to the swift work, the team had Mike and his truck ready to race just as opening ceremonies began.
Friday - Round 15
The use of the backup truck put Mike Oberg last, in the starting grid of the fifteen-truck field. The first couple of laps of the race saw Mike take a cautious approach to the race, getting a good feel of the truck. Then just as the AMSOIL Chevy began to pass a few trucks, the right front spindle broke coming down the front straightaway. This ended the night with a fifteenth place finish.
Overnight, the team went to work replacing the spindle, and making a few suspension adjustments, as well as the usual between rounds prep.
Saturday - Round 16
The PRO-2WD race was the first PRO group to hit the track Saturday night. Mike had his AMSOIL BFGoodrich Chevy starting well back in the field, so he knew there would be much work ahead, for a solid finish. Mike really stayed focused, made all the right moves and crossed the finish line in fifth place. The finish he was looking for, happened. This was the best finish of the season for the Northern Wisconsin based team.
"The end of the year program really came alive," commented Mike Oberg. "When BFGoodrich came on board, it was one of the keys to our improvement, and the other was the assistance from a suspension specialist. We knew we had a great ProPower engine and J & H Transmission, but the final two pieces were put in place this fall and it really showed. My guys never gave up, no matter what the situation delivered; they always gave me the best possible ride. I'm really looking forward to next season."
For the year, Mike finished the 2009 Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL PRO-2WD Championship in eighth place.

Anna Brown commutes from St Albans to London. What does she want fromher nearly £3,000 a year season ticket?Passengers tell us the answer is reliability – trains that run on time, a seat most of the time, a clean train and information if things go wrong.
She has built her home and work life around the timetable and needs it delivered, day in and day out. What she certainly does not want to see is above inflation fare rises if there has been little evidence of significant improvement.
Brown is not alone - punctuality remains one of the key things that affect rail passenger satisfaction, and how delays are dealt with is the key driver of passenger dissatisfaction. Every year more than 65, 000 passengers give their verdicts on the journeys they have just done – all captured in our National Passenger Survey. Nearly 17 out of every 20 passengers were satisfied overall with the last journey they made. However, these overall figures mask enormous variations on individual routes and value for money scores vary widely. Some season ticket holders are only just posting double digit scores for value for money.
Not surprising really – passengers are buying travel and they expect to be able to rely on the basic promises the rail industry makes, such as when the train is going to arrive. If the service breaks down passengers want to know when it is going to get back on track. Keeping up the pressure on everyday performance and radically improving the handling of delays will continue to dominate the industry over the next few years. Continuing to build trust through the delivery of promises will be a key feature of developing trust between the industry, passengers – both existing and new ones – and taxpayers.
Reform of the fares and ticketing system remains important. Neither the government nor the industry will get the credit for all the investment going in if a sizeable proportion of passengers simply do not trust the fares system. Capping regulated fares at retail price index plus 1% for the next couple of years is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done, including limiting the flexibility that train companies have to set fares on individual routes.
New ticket types, such as flexible season tickets, loaded on to smart cards will be a big step forward. Much better information on exactly what you are buying and when it can be used will help, but until passengers trust a system that is presented to them in a simple way there will always be a lingering feeling for some that they have been ripped off.
The opportunity is great. Passengers are using the railways in greater numbers than ever before. Government is investing. The rail industry now must deliver. This means keeping the pace of improvement going while cutting costs - this will, eventually, take the sting out of above inflation fare rises.
We could, finally, be moving towards the ideal situation where the industry focuses on passengers and delivers, in a cost effective way, what they want – a consistently reliable, value for money product. Is that too much to ask for?

(Johannesburg, April 30, 2008) – The Zimbabwean army is responsible for a new wave of rights violations throughout Zimbabwe, Human Rights Watch said today. Military forces are providing arms and trucks to so-called "war veterans" who have been implicated in numerous acts of torture and other violence against opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) members and supporters.
Human Rights Watch called on the African Union and the UN Security Council to intervene in the crisis to protect Zimbabweans at increasing risk of violence. They should publicly and privately press the government to stop the violence, take action against those responsible, and take steps to ensure that the police and army remain impartial and act to protect all Zimbabweans. They should also urge the government to permit international human rights monitors and the media unfettered access to the country.
In the aftermath of general elections that took place on March 29, 2008, Human Rights Watch has documented serious abuses in the worst-affected areas of Zimbabwe – the capital Harare, and the provinces of Mashonaland East, West, and Central, Manicaland, and Masvingo. Members and supporters of the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), the army, police, and "war veterans" have organized and carried out a brutal campaign of torture and intimidation against anyone perceived as supporting the MDC. According to scores of victims and eyewitnesses interviewed by Human Rights Watch, ZANU-PF supporters and "war veterans" are drawing up lists of MDC activists who are then systematically targeted for abuse. These ZANU-PF allies are also forcing people to attend meetings to swear allegiance to ZANU-PF and denounce those remaining MDC supporters.
For example, Human Rights Watch investigations in Manicaland province indicate that ZANU-PF supporters are collaborating with the army in unleashing a campaign of terror and violence against MDC members and supporters. Eyewitnesses told Human Rights Watch that "war veterans" have set up camp at an army base called "Three Brigade," which is the official military barracks in Manicaland. Sources told Human Right Watch that the army had given the "war veterans" guns and army trucks to carry out raids on the homes of known MDC supporters and members. Military officers are also directly involved in these raids.
On April 23, in Manicaland, a group of "war veterans" and ZANU-PF supporters fired at a group of 22 MDC activists who had enquired about the whereabouts of 12 MDC supporters. Earlier the "war veterans" had abducted the 12 MDC supporters and taken them to Chiwetu Rest Camp – an informal torture center set up by the "war veterans" and ZANU-PF youth in Makoni West, Manicaland province. When the MDC activists arrived at the camp they found up to 50 "war veterans" and ZANU-PF supporters – 12 of whom were armed. The "war veterans" ordered the activists to sit on the ground and then fired shots into the air. As the MDC activists tried to flee, the war veterans fired another round of shots, this time at the group, hitting three of them. One activist, Tabeth Marume, was shot in the stomach and died of her wounds on the way to the hospital. Two other activists were also injured during the incident.
One of the victims of the shooting told Human Rights Watch that the man who fired the shot that killed Tabeth Marume was a known "war veteran." When the victims informed the local police about the incident, the police refused to take action, claiming that such an incident could not have happened since they had no knowledge of any civilians in the area who were allowed to keep firearms.
The current whereabouts of the 12 abducted MDC supporters are not known. The activists who went to the camp told Human Rights Watch that they saw their colleagues at the camp with their hands tied behind their backs, lying on their stomachs. They said the 12 activists were badly bruised and injured. The activists also reported to Human Rights Watch that they later saw the "war veterans" bundle their colleagues into pickup trucks and drive off.
The lack of arrests and investigations into this and other incidents of organized political violence carried out by ZANU-PF and its allies contrasts starkly with the arrest of 215 people last Friday accused of committing reprisal attacks against ZANU-PF, Human Rights Watch said. Human Rights Watch expressed concern that those arrests were politically motivated.
"With increasing incidents of politically motivated, state-sponsored violence in Zimbabwe it is essential the African Union and the UN Security Council work together to press for the protection of civilians," said Gagnon. "Getting international human rights monitors and the media on the ground provides Zimbabweans some protection in the face of the escalating crackdown by the army and police."

Lemon desserts were my grandmother's favorite and now they have become mine. I make these cupcakes with Meyer lemons when they are in season. I read somewhere that a good substitution for Meyer lemon is half orange zest and half regular lemon zest. I've never tried that, but if you have, let me know if it's tasty.
Yields 4 cupcakes.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 6 tablespoons unbleached flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- zest of one lemon
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- In a cupcake pan, line 4 tins with liners. Cupcakes made on the outside edge of the cupcake pan will rise higher. Preheat the oven to 400°.
- In a medium bowl, beat together with an electric mixer the butter and sugar. After a few minutes when the mixture is fully incorporated and fluffy, add in the egg white, almond extract, lemon zest, and sour cream.
- Once the wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, add in the flour, baking soda and pinch of salt then beat together but do not over mix. Divide the batter into the cupcake liners and bake for 15-20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted comes out clean (mine usually take 18 minutes).
- While the cupcakes cool, beat together all frosting ingredients.
- Frost cupcakes once they have cooled. In my mind, these cupcakes taste best slightly chilled.

Severe Virus Problem on Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP2 32-bit
We are using Windows SBS 2003 SP2 32-bit for production purposes. This server is primarily used as Application Server to run IIS based applications. We have McAfee Anti-virus running on this server. We also access this server through Remote Desktop and for FTP.
Since last few days, we have very strange behavior on this server. As soon as this server is plugged into the network, within 3-5 minutes, the internet goes down for the entire network and the moment we plug this server out of network, internet works.
(1) McAfee Anti-virus has stopped working.
(2) A folder is created on C:\ with name Shortcut to McAfee and inside that another folder is create AcidBurn1.
(3) Tons of junk files are copied inside this folder. The size of these files goes up to 10-40 GB.
(4) We see few new services created automatically in Services Manager namely, sssXXXXXXX, and few services with junk characters in its description. Please click the following link to view the Screenshot of Services(PNG file is linked)
What we have already tried
(1) Malwarebytes Anti-malware software runs and re-runs in normal and safe mode
(2) Windows Malicious Software run (normal and safe mode)
(3) Tried to monitor network activity & event viewer but nothing odd found there and since the server brings down internet in 3-5 minutes after logging in, it is difficult to get any real clue.
(4) Tried to start /enable McAfee but does not work
(5) Isolated this server from network and disabled all Remote Desktop / FTP related ports but still not success, server still brings internet down in 3-5 minutes
We have no idea about what this virus is and we would like to get some help on this issue. We are ready to purchase a network security solution to resolve this problem for now as well as protect our network against such attacks in future.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

1. I would have reinstalled the compromised system. You never know if it was really cleaned until format and reinstall. Do not retain ANY executable from the infected server, reinstall everything from the scratch. Otherwise you gonna fight the virus consequences for ages.
2. Please revise the service usage pattern - for example, FTP is not any secure by design. Could be that someone from the Internet was able to monitor you FTP traffic and hacked into the system.
3. Do not rely on antiviruses as primary antimalware measure. Antiviruses cannot beat up the viruses, it's a matter of fact. Consider revising Administrators group membership (no more than 2-3 accounts), always keep the system and applications up to date, implement Software Restriction Policies to prevent malware from running. Remember that no any firewall stops malware that comes from users/administrators and their flash drives/downloads/rdp sessions/etc.

does split-muscle implant placement give a more natural result?
Doctor Answers 8
Advantages of split muscle breast implant placement
The split muscle technique for breast implant placement is not really new. I have done more than 500 cases with this technique over the past 7 years, and Dr. Umar Khan in the UK has done a large number as well. It is designed to provide muscle coverage over the upper portion of the breast, where it is most advantageous, while minimizing the risk of what are called "animation deformities" that occur as a result of cutting the muscle as is done with the traditional under-muscle technique. By cutting the muscle it heals into the scar capsule where it can exert traction when you flex your pectoral muscle. You will see this as a band pulling upward across the lower portion of the breast. With the muscle splitting method, the attachments are left intact so this effect is prevented.
Muscle-Spliting Techniques
Hi suziesuzie,
I can tell you that this technique works, and it works well, especially if you are a thin patient and require that your breast implant is placed under the muscle. The problem with putting the implant under the muscle in a traditional approach is that the muscle no longer becomes fixed to the chest wall and produces abnormal movement of the breast when the muscle is flexed. This technique eliminates nearly all the abnormal muscle movement.
Split muscle implant placement
Dear suziesuzie,
This is not a technique that I use, although I have seen results using this technique and they have been good. The problem that I have with it, is that the results that I have seen have been on patients who have a reasonable amount of breast tissue already - the sort of patient that I would do a subglandular placement of the implant.
In my practice, I use the submuscular placement for people who have little breast tissue. My worry with the split muscle placement is that, if used on patients with little breast tissue, there may be a ridge half way up the breast where the muscle split has been performed. I am sure that the procedure is safe, but if you have concerns, it may be worth getting a second opinion.

Submuscular, partial submuscular, dual plane breast augmentations are all the same
There isn't a "new" way to put implants under the muscle, just many names for the same thing meant to confuse you into thinking your doctor is more modern than someone else. Actually, I'd avoid going to anybody who tried to scam you like that into thinking they had a new spin on a tried and true operation but was just doing what everybody else already does.
Pick Surgeon not Technique.
Thank you for the question.
I would suggest that when you do your due diligence and plastic surgeon selection you choose a surgeon who can show you significant experience achieving the results you are looking for. This method of research, as opposed to trying to pick the technique that would work best for you, is most likely to be successful and maximize the chances that you will achieve the results you're looking for.
Best wishes.

How to Get The Look You Want
The easiest reply to this is- It all depends on what you consider a "natural result". Placement of the implant under the muscle gives additional upper half fullness due to the thickness of the muscle. A natural breast has tissue over the muscle not under. Because breast surgery is a personal choice, showing your surgeon a picture of what you would like your breasts to look like will help to give you the look you want.
"Split-Muscle" Placement Is Not New
If your surgeon is placing the implant below the pectoral (chest) muscle, he may refer to the technique as "subpectoral," "submuscular," "dual plane," "partial subpectoral" or "partial subpectoral" tachnique.
Because the pectoral muscle is triangular in shape, it does not completely cover the implant.
In cosmetic breast augmentation, these are the techniques most commonly used as compared with a complete muscle coverage technique, which uses an adjacent muscle to cover the part of the implant not covered by the pectoralis. This technique is sometimes used in reconstruction after mastectomy.

Senator Defrancisco Announces Local Library Grants
On July 29, 2013, State Senator John A. DeFrancisco (R-I-C, Syracuse) joined Kate McCaffrey, representing Onondaga County public libraries, to announce the individual libraries in Onondaga County that will receive state mini-grants for cultural programming. Last year, Senator DeFrancisco secured $90,000 in state funds to be awarded to libraries in Onondaga County over two years.
"I am pleased to announce the recipients of the 2013 Library Cultural Programming Grants. Our libraries are a valuable resource and we should do all that we can to maintain and improve upon them," said Senator DeFrancisco. "These mini-grants allow our local libraries to identify cultural organizations and work with community partners as they see best suited for programming in our libraries."
The 2013 grant recipients are Fairmount Community Library, Baldwinsville Public Library, Onondaga Free Library, Maxwell Memorial Library, Solvay Public Library, Jordan Bramley Library, the Skaneateles Library Association, Salina Library, Northern Onondaga Public Library, Fayetteville Free Library, and Marcellus Free Library. The recipients plan to use the funding for a variety of cultural programming activities including concerts, summer reading programs, teen talk, farming and animal programming, pottery classes, theatrical presentations, and a Festival of Nations.
Speaking on behalf of the Onondaga County Public Library System, NOPL Director Kate McCaffrey said, "The Cultural Programming Grant secured by Senator DeFrancisco makes it possible for residents throughout Onondaga County to enjoy cultural and educational opportunities in their own neighborhoods. We're grateful to the Senator for his support, and for his unswerving belief in the power of libraries to enrich lives and build communities."
In celebration of the grant announcement, Senator DeFrancisco and Ms. McCaffrey joined Dave and Liz Beebe, who presented a "Discover the Erie Canal Park" program on the history and renovation of the Erie Canal Park in Camillus at Liverpool Library.
Mini-grants are awarded to individual libraries for cultural programming endeavors to fund activities that local libraries would like to offer but could otherwise not fund. $45,000 is allotted each year, for two years, for libraries in Onondaga County. A portion of the allocation goes to mini-grants, with the remaining balance to system-wide programs. Libraries may join applications with other libraries to combine grant amounts to offer greater programming. The grants are intended to serve the 32 public libraries in Onondaga County.

LAT: MTA targets bus line serving Westside workers who live in South L.A
by Anonymous on Monday, February 27, 2012
MTA is once again planning on eliminating bus service in Los Angeles.
They have cited many reasons for the service cuts, low ridership, budget concerns and duplicate service. The elimination of the 9 bus lines and the service cuts on 11 others are also part of the plan to shift riders to the Expo Rail line, which is due to finally open this spring. The overall effect would be the loss of 4% of bus service overall. This comes in addition to the 550,000 hours of service already cut by the MTA since 2007. The cuts have affected riders all over the county. In August, the Bus Riders Union held a Transit Justice Town hall, attended by over 200 people, and gathered the stories and written testimony of riders already struggling with the devastating impacts of bus service cuts.
Line 305 is a microcosm for the systemic cuts planned by MTA
The February 27th Los Angeles Times article profiled some of the riders on Line 305. The bus line, which travels from South LA to the jobs, hospital and schools of the Westside, has been a vital link for the residents. Without that service, riders will have to change from taking one bus to taking as many as three buses to reach their destinations. This will add extra time, cost and hardship for the service workers and students who use the line.
MTA hasn't searched for alternatives to cutting service
Bus Riders Union Lead Organizer Sunyoung Yang was quoted saying, "One thing Metro could have done is shift funds from rail, highway and other county transportation efforts to preserve service for some of the system's neediest riders. Instead, they chose to do it on the back of immigrant domestic workers, working-class students and unemployed South L.A. residents"
If the MTA goes ahead with the planned cuts, service on the 305 will end in late spring, and all of Los Angeles will lose another 305,000 hours of service. This will bring the cuts to nearly a million hours of service lost since 2007.
