|Lafayette attorney Glenn Armentor
[Editor's Note: Below is Lafayette personal injury attorney Glenn Armentor's April 21 impassioned plea for his fellow lawyers to join him in asking for District Attorney Mike Harson's resignation to pave the way for "someone with the credentials, confidence and the dependable ethics of Keith Stutes to take over that position so that we can all know that the right thing will be done even when no one is watching." In the letter Armentor says he hand-delivered a copy to Harson Monday.]
Dear Lafayette Lawyer,
Since the 10th day of October, 1977, when I was sworn into the practice of law, I have revered my profession and felt pride beyond measure in my opportunity to be a lawyer. Other than family and God, nothing has meant more to me than being a lawyer and trying to be a good and ethical practitioner. I am so very proud of what we do every day of our lives to protect the rights of the citizens of Louisiana and Acadiana. Lawyers do so many good things for their communities and in reality are the foundation of professional well-being for the people of Acadiana.
Perhaps it was because of my reverence for our privilege of practicing law that I was so completely taken aback and appalled two years ago when I began to learn about the "DWI scandal" taking place in the office of District Attorney Mike Harson. As we have all come to know from reading multiple accounts and newspaper articles, Mike Harson's closest administrative personnel and an assistant district attorney operated a "favors for money" scam in which well-to-do people who were arrested for DWI were allowed, essentially, to walk away from the charges by paying $5,000 in bribery money to the office investigator, Harson's personal administrative assistant and one of his DAs, as well as support personnel from other agencies.
This was a criminal conspiracy centered in a special program Harson created and that required his approval in every single case. This cancer went beyond the District Attorney's Office to other agencies involved in assisting the DA by providing community service opportunities for every other defendant in DWI cases to appropriately and fairly serve their sentences through community service at the order of the courts.
This undeniable, inexcusable and gut-wrenching scandal has provided one more opportunity for our citizens to perceive members of our profession as crooked, uncaring advantage-takers of the general public. It is one of the biggest black eyes in a long chain of black eyes perpetrated upon our profession that I can remember.
This scandal went on "full bore" for approximately three years directly under the nose of our chief law enforcement prosecutor, Mike Harson. At no point did he ever notice that hundreds of thousands of dollars were being spent by dozens of wealthy people to walk away from their DWI convictions and not have to pay the fair price exacted by a fair society. In his recent responses, Harson has pointed out that the federal prosecutor investigating his office did not find any hard evidence that he was involved or knew of the scandal. Such a defense brings little comfort to those of us who love and care about our profession. In the best case scenario, District Attorney Mike Harson has allowed this horrible, full bore, big money, criminal scandal to go on directly under his nose for three years, and defends himself by saying he simply knew nothing about it. That is not a good enough response! That is not an acceptable explanation!
This undeniable, inexcusable and gut-wrenching scandal has provided one more opportunity for our citizens to perceive members of our profession as crooked, uncaring advantage-takers of the general public.
Regrettably, that is not the potentially worst aspect of this horrible scar on the practice of law. If in fact DA Harson were aware of the scandal, despite the fact that there is no current proof of that, then he would be guilty of criminal activity while holding office, which would be much worse than his admitted ignorance.
Neither of these incredibly unfortunate possibilities brings any comfort to any of us who love the practice of law and our noble profession. What has happened in the district attorney's office in the last several years has caused thousands of people in Acadiana to question once again whether lawyers are truly honest, good people. I am so very tired of defending the profession that I love from those who question it because of scandals, scams and the ugliness of those few amongst us who act in terrible ways to disparage the practice.
Long-time First Assistant District Attorney Keith Stutes has declared his intention to run for the office of district attorney. All of us in the practice in Lafayette in the last 30 years have come to know Keith Stutes as the ultimate professional, the completely competent and trustworthy Number 1 Assistant DA, a man we have watched successfully prosecute the most important criminal cases in the history of our community and the gutsy practitioner that we have admired because of his unalterable determination to obtain convictions of criminals who commit horrible crimes and who deserve to be jailed. We have come to depend on the fact that Keith Stutes will be in court in the most serious cases to make sure that the right thing happens. He has brought us all great comfort in that regard. And he has done it for 30 years without the slightest hint of scandal, stain or inappropriate behavior.
I respectfully submit that the appropriate offer to come from Mike Harson to the people of Acadiana would be the offer to resign from his position as district attorney and thereby allow someone with the credentials, confidence and the dependable ethics of Keith Stutes to take over that position so that we can all know that the right thing will be done even when no one is watching.
In his letter of March 31, 2014, Mike Harson seeks to cast aspersions on Keith Stutes for "unfair criticism of the over 100 employees of the DA's office." [Read the letter here.] The serious lawyers of our community know that is not what has happened in the Stutes campaign over the last several months. When he learned of the scandal, Keith Stutes launched his own personal investigation to determine who was at fault. He has cast no aspersions and made no accusations to anyone in any office other than those who committed crimes. He was crestfallen to learn that Harson was so inattentive, spent so much time away from the office and cared so little about the DA's operations that he had never noticed multiple events of scandal on a daily basis for over three years in and about his own office conducted by his closest associates. Perhaps it was that lack of attention to detail and that complete inability to really understand what is going on in his own office that leads Harson, at this point, to write a letter where he accuses Keith Stutes of criticizing the innocent employees of the District Attorney's office. It is Mike Harson that Keith Stutes has criticized for allowing this scandal to go on for years, criminally paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent guilty criminals from paying their debt to society. Even then, Keith Stutes stopped after his investigation without accusing Mike Harson of criminal activity, since there was no proof that Harson knew what had occurred. Is it not enough that this went on in Mike Harson's office for this amount of time without his ever having a clue that it was happening? Can we really rely on an officeholder of 19 years' duration, who is so inattentive, absentee and uncaring as to allow this egregious behavior to go on for years? Is this the kind of officeholder we truly need in the most important law enforcement office in our three parish 15th Judicial District?
In his letter to our citizens, Mike Harson offers his apology for the scandal in his office. I respectfully submit that the appropriate offer to come from Mike Harson to the people of Acadiana would be the offer to resign from his position as district attorney and thereby allow someone with the credentials, confidence and the dependable ethics of Keith Stutes to take over that position so that we can all know that the right thing will be done even when no one is watching.
I am hopeful that the lawyers of Acadiana will stand up and proclaim that what Mike Harson has failed to do in discovering, investigating and ending the scandal in his office over the last several years is enough for them to call for his resignation from office. I care about my profession and how it is viewed by our community, and I call for Mike Harson's resignation by writing this letter, a copy of which will be hand-delivered to him on this date. Please search your souls, lawyers, and determine for yourself how you feel about what has happened in the District Attorney's office in the last several years. Please consider what it has done to the reputation of your profession in the eyes of our citizens. Then please take a stand!
OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

Woman jailed for 18 months after she helped boyfriend throw her father's body off a bridge
- Mother-of-four helped dispose of body after father was stabbed multiple times
- Couple had previously been barred from house by police for assaulting 45-year-old
- Murder victim's home set on fire in apparent arson two months after violent killing
A 23-year-old has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after helping her boyfriend dispose of her father's body after he allegedly stabbed him multiple times.
Jennifer Barnes was found guilty of helping to hide Tony Mozick's body in a plastic container before throwing it off a bridge and into a river in Delaware in January.
Gerard T Schweiger, the father of one of Barnes's four children, is accused of killing Mr Mozick at his home, according to Delaware Online.
Accused: Jennifer Barnes was charged with helping Gerard Schweiger dispose of her father's body
Lovers: Jennifer Barnes with Gerard Schweiger, her boyfriend and father of one of her children
The 45-year-old victim was reported missing by his mother on January 5 after failing to arrive at her house to collect his regular medication for a disability.
When police came to search the house the victim shared with his daughter, they found 'a large amount of blood near the victim's bedroom and a portion of the carpet in the room had been removed and discarded across the street,' police sergeant Paul Shavack said.
Victim: Tony Mozick was stabbed, stuffed in a container and then dumped in a river
Police had been called to the property for a separate domestic incident in December last year, after which Barnes and her boyfriend had been banned from Mr Mozick's home for allegedly attacking him.
Barnes was later allowed to return because of her four children, all under the age of 5, who were also in the house when police discovered the blood.
Friends of the family claimed the young children had witnessed or been in the house at the time of the murder, according to comments left on the Delaware Police Facebook page.
Barnes invited Schweiger to the house on January 5 but the men started to fight and 'Schweiger used a small knife and stabbed Mozick multiple times', police said.
The couple then hid his body in a 55-gallon plastic container, which they left in the garage overnight, before throwing off the Fast Landing Road bridge, into the Leipsic River the following day.
It was found by a trapper on February 19, nearly a month after the couple had been arrested for his murder.
Barnes pleaded guilty to tampering with physical evidence, hindering prosecution, conspiracy, abuse of a corpse, breach of release and giving a false statement to law enforcement.
Her 18-month sentence is for evidence-tampering and after her release she will be on probation for the other charges, a Department of Justice spokesman said.
The house where Mr Mozick lived and
died in Leipsic suffered $5,000 in damage after an apparent arson attack
in March, Delaware NewsZap reported..
The father had been arrested in July 2012 for allegedly growing marijuana there with one of his two sons, who was then aged 20, according to Delaware police.
Dumped: The body was thrown off the Fast Landing Road bridge in Delaware
Attack: Tony Mozick's home was set on fire in an apparent arson attempt in March
Jailed: Jennifer Barnes has been sentenced to 18 months. Gerard Schweiger is due to go on trial next year
Mr Mozick was remembered by friends as a devoted grandfather who enjoyed fishing for crabs in the summer and catching muskrats in the winter. He was said to have been willing to help anyone in trouble.
Schweiger, of Felton, has been charged with first-degree murder, deadly weapons possession and abuse of a corpse. He is scheduled to go on trial in April next year.
Barnes is expected to testify against him.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men circumcised either as children or adults report less intense sexual pleasure and orgasm than their uncircumcised counterparts, according to a new study from Belgium.
"We're not saying less sexual activity or satisfaction, but sensitivity," said the study's senior researcher Dr. Piet Hoebeke, from Ghent University Hospital.
The new study surveyed 1,369 men over the age of 18, who responded to leaflets handed out in train stations across Belgium.
The men were asked whether they were circumcised, and were then asked to rate how sensitive their penis was, how intense their orgasms were and whether they experience any pain or numbness when they are aroused.
Overall, 310 men who took the survey were circumcised, and 1,059 were not. Each rated how sensitive their penis was on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher numbers being the most sensitive.
Overall, uncircumcised men reported between 0.2 points and 0.4 points higher sensitivity and sexual pleasure when their penis's head - known as the glans - was stroked during arousal, compared to circumcised men.
For example, uncircumcised men reported an average sensitivity score of 3.72 when they or their partner stroked the top part of their penis's glans, compared to 3.31 amongst circumcised men.
Uncircumcised men also reported more intense orgasms.
"It's not a very big difference in sensitivity, but it's a significant difference," Hoebeke said.
Currently, about half of U.S. baby boys have their foreskin surgically removed at birth, and about 30 percent of men around the world are circumcised.
Some religions, such as Judaism and Islam, consider circumcision part of religious practice, while other people choose circumcision for possible health benefits - including a reduced risk of urinary tract infections (see Reuters Health article of December 7, 2012 here:).
Hoebeke and his colleagues write in BJU International that there are few studies researching whether foreskin plays a role in sexual pleasure. But Dr. Aaron Tobian, who studies circumcision but was not part of the new study, said that previous randomized controlled trials - considered the gold standard of medical research - looked at sexual performance and satisfaction. Those studies, he said, did not find a difference.
One possible explanation for any potential difference in sensitivity is that a man's foreskin may protect his penis's head from rubbing against underwear and clothing. It's possible, the researchers write, that friction makes the head of the penis thicker, drier and ultimately less sensitive.
The researchers also found circumcised men were more likely to report more pain and numbness during arousal than uncircumcised men, which Hoebeke said is likely due to scar tissue.
"I'm amazed that people report pain during sexual pleasure… That's very amazing and that was unexpected," he said.
Tobian, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said the findings are missing important context.
"The medical evidence and the benefits of male circumcision are abundantly clear," Tobian told Reuters Health.
"If there was a vaccine out there that reduces the risk of HIV by 60 percent, herpes by 30 percent and the penile cancer causing HPV by 35 percent, the medical community would rally behind it," said Tobian.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says the benefits of male circumcision outweigh the risks, but stops short of recommending universal circumcision (see Reuters story of August 27, 2012 here:).

OLYMPIA — A measure requiring public schools to send schoolgirls home with information about a sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer is headed to Gov. Chris Gregoire.
The measure also will help pay for a three-dose vaccine for the human papilloma virus (HPV) for all girls between the ages of 9 and 16. The cost of the vaccine is about $360.
Gregoire is expected to sign the measure into law, spokeswoman Holly Armstrong said.
The House, on a 76-18 vote, agreed Saturday to changes to the legislation made by the Senate.
The bill requires all public schools to give parents of girls entering 6th grade information about the virus and its symptoms.
An earlier version of the bill would have extended the requirement to private schools. The Senate version requires private schools only to give parents the information.

Bird cherry-oat aphids and greenbugs on wheat
At one time, it was thought that the bird cherry-oat aphid caused very little direct yield loss to wheat except by vectoring BYDV. However, more recent research information from Oklahoma State University and the USDA-ARS suggest that the bird cherry-oat aphid is almost as damaging to wheat yield as is the greenbug. The data shows that if populations exceed 20 aphids per tiller before the boot stage, (400 aphids per foot of row) for 10 days, a 5% yield loss could be expected. If populations exceed 40 aphids per tiller for 10 days, (800 per foot of row) before boot, a 9% yield loss could be expected. Although its feeding causes no chlorosis or other visible damage to wheat plants, heavy infestations can also reduce grain quality, affect protein content and test weight, and even reduce protein assimilation by grazing cattle.
Still, the bird cherry-oat aphid causes the most damage by vectoring plant viruses, especially BYDV. Although the hot summer weather in Kansas is usually effective in decimating aphid populations, bird cherry-oat aphid can temporarily avoid extremes of temperature by feeding on the lowest parts of the stalk, at or below ground level. It is also able to feed actively in weather too cold for other aphids, such as the greenbug, enabling the bird cherry-oat aphid to effectively colonize seedling wheat quite late into the fall.
The bird cherry-oat aphid is usually held below economic injury levels by natural enemies such as lady beetles, lacewings, hover flies, and parasitic wasps. However, conditions that favor outbreaks of greenbug or Russian wheat aphid (for example, an abrupt shift back to cold temperatures after a warm spell in spring) also benefit the bird cherry-oat aphid. The bird cherry-oat aphid will often be found forming mixed colonies with these aphids when they are abundant. In such cases, decisions to apply pesticides should be driven by the numbers of those direct-damaging species and materials applied to control them should be equally effective against bird cherry-oat aphid.
If bird cherry-oat aphid is present alone, count the number of aphids present on each of a series of 25 - 50 randomly selected tillers across a zigzag transect of the field. Treatment with an insecticide broadly labeled for aphid control on wheat can be considered if an average of 50 or more aphids per tiller is present from boot stage up until heading. However, treatment with contact insecticides will not reduce the incidence of virus transmission.

Minimizing the 'slip-and-fall' factor
Minimizing the 'slip-and-fall' factor
Bill and Kevin Burnett
Inman News™
Q: In a recent column, a reader's peel-and-stick bathroom flooring was coming up and you recommended putting down tile in the bathroom. My experience with tile has been that it gets very slick when wet, which would certainly be problematic in a bathroom.
Is there a type of tile one can use in a bathroom and/or kitchen that would allow you to have the beauty of tile but not the "ice rink" effect when it gets wet?
A: We've had the same experience with tile floors. Step out of the shower and va-va-voom -- on your tail you go.
Often, bathroom tile is glazed, shiny and smooth. A simple solution is to use rubber-backed bath rugs over the tile to keep your footing. But we understand that covering most of a tile floor with a rug is not very practical. So here are a couple of alternatives.
First, if you choose a tile floor, avoid glazed tile or marble. Instead, pick a material that's either textured or has a matte finish. They provide more traction and a better chance to keep you upright.
Kevin recently visited a friend in San Mateo, Calif. She had just completed a total remodel of her home. She installed textured ceramic tile in both the master and guest baths. She was very aware of the slip-and-fall factor, thus the textured finish. Kevin test-drove the shower in the master bath and found that a rug was necessary when stepping out of the shower, but when the rug soaked up the water from his feet, the textured finish performed fine.
Another tile alternative is Saltillo. This is a porous terra-cotta tile from Mexico that requires regular sealing with a quality acrylic sealer. The plus is that it's got a skid-resistant surface. The minuses are the maintenance factor and the tile's irregular shape. If you're looking for uniformity, this option is not for you. But if you're after a rustic look, this may be the ticket.
Now, don't fall over in a dead faint, but another alternative you might consider is an engineered wood floor. It's not for everyone, but it might work for you.
The negative, of course, is that this type of floor doesn't withstand large amounts of water well. If this is the only bathroom and there are kids, wood is not an alternative. But if the bathroom is adults only, the beauty of wood is a definite alternative.
Engineered wood consists of a top layer of hardwood -- bamboo, for example -- that is pressure-glued to alternating layers of plywood. The cross-grain construction gives the flooring good stability, unlike its solid wood counterpart. Also, the factory-applied finish is water-resistant. Notice, we did not say waterproof.
Because Kevin's wife, Heidi, is absolutely against a tile floor (she says if he lays it, she'll take a hammer to it), engineered wood is starting to look like an alternative. We suggest you go with a "floating floor" to mitigate the moisture changes in the air and allow the floor to move a little with changing humidity.
A wood floor will provide more traction than smooth tile, but will still require a rubber-backed bath rug for entering and exiting the tub or shower and to reduce the amount of water on the floor.
The bottom line is that there's no perfect solution. Water will have its way. For our money, a matte, textured tile is the best solution followed by a top-quality sheet vinyl or linoleum.

Okay Moms, the time has come. On your mark, get set, go! Put up the tree, take your little one to see Santa, write down everything your child wants, make cupcakes for the post-pagent party, find a new dress for the office holiday party, write out cards to every person you have ever known and make sure to have an adorable family photo front and center, the list will go on and on and on.
It is no suprise that this is the craziest time of year for moms and tots alike. Not only is the pressure on parents but children of all ages are innundated with materialistic messages about what they are supposed to want and the concept of keeping up with the Joneses is officially introduced to a five-year-old child.
Astrologically this year, we are contending with some heavey planetary alignments that are seemingly adding insult to injury. As a result, it is vital for you to learn to say no. December 16 is a New Moon in Sagittarius which will usher in all sorts of optimism about being super human enough to do everything that everyone wants. Don't take the bait.
Share a free sample Personal Astrology Profile. What makes you unique? Discover a snapshot of the cosmos at your birth and the forces that shape you.
Find the inner strength to just say no. No matter who wants what from you, take a moment to really examine if it is necassary or a nice to have. Wear the same dress to the holiday party as last year. Pick up cupcakes at the local bakery. Say no to a few holiday engagements; they will survive without you.
If you are sick this holiday -- trust me, you will be forced to say no. You officially have my permission to buck the cosmic trend and take care of yourself and your family first.
Happy Holiday Season :)

Trucking company to buy 20 acres at River Ridge
Send this to a friend

- Email | Twitter
Mister "P" Express plans to buy 20 acres at River Ridge Commerce Center.
"We are growing," said company CEO Cindy Collier.
The truckload carrier and transportation services company already occupies 15.6 acres of the Southern Indiana industrial park.
"Mister 'P' is a long-standing tenant here at River Ridge Commerce Center, and we are happy to accommodate their growth. They are a great corporate citizen," said Paul Wheatley, finance and marketing director at River Ridge.
Wheatley declined to provide details about the transaction because a purchasing agreement has not been signed.
River Ridge consists of nearly 6,000 acres between Jeffersonville and Charlestown, Ind. Nearly 500 acres of that is in use, according to Wheatley.
Mister "P" Express will use the additional 20 acres to house trailers and a training school for its employees. Collier said the company also is considering opening its own body shop for its trucks rather than outsourcing the work as it does currently.
Mister "P" Express was a Business First Business of the Year finalist in 2013, and the company said it had spent $9.4 million on capital improvements and equipment in the prior two years. Click here for the article Business First wrote about the company in December.
Caitlin Bowling covers these beats: Restaurants, retail, human resources, and women & minority affairs.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Sabres' goal is to build a Stanley Cup winner

In what may have been a perfect snapshot of a frustrating season, a Buffalo Sabres' wrap-up news conference Monday turned testy and left as many questions unanswered as answered.
The 45-minute media session included Ted Black, the team president, and Darcy Regier, longtime Sabres' general manager. It focused as much on myriad off-ice issues as those concerning the failure of the team to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second consecutive year.
At issue:
• The status of Regier, who has become a lightning rod of criticism among the Sabres' fan base.
• The timing of the team's decision to announce a 4 percent season-ticket price increase on the day of the Sabres' final home game, which was also "Fan Appreciation Night."
• Whether star players Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek, both are whom are entering the final year of their contracts, will be traded during the off-season or anytime in the next year.
• Who will coach the team?
• How come team owner Terry Pegula was not at the news conference and, except, for two appearances this season been relatively invisible and only limited in his responses to media questions.
Even the normally cool-headed Black briefly lost his temper when he was questioned by Buffalo News reporter Mike Harrington and columnist Jerry Sullivan, mainly about Pegula's absence and limited answers during his brief media appearances in January and in mid-April.
Both Black and Regier acknowledged the fans' frustration from an organization that wants to be viewed as "hockey heaven."
"When you miss the playoffs in most sports, in most cities, you get this (level of frustration)," Black said. "Do I take our fans for granted? Absolutely not. They deserve a lot better than what they got this year."

Perla Batalla
BiographyPerla Batalla's clear, powerful voice recalls a young Linda Ronstadt, another singer who has never forgotten her Mexican heritage. Batella's musical explorations take on a different form than those of Ronstadt, however -- instead of genre-hopping, she combines folk and pop music from both the U.S. and Mexico into her own seamless style. She's earned critical kudos for her mix of Joan Baez folk, Bonnie Raitt soul, and k.d. lang intensity, all of which come together in her stirring, original songs.

Simon Ward: Dashing actor who made his name playing the young Winston Churchill
Tuesday 24 July 2012
Simon Ward was a handsome actor whose patrician, public-school demeanour made him ideal casting for dashing period romances and for the screen role that brought him international prominence, that of the youthful Winston Churchill in Richard Attenborough's Young Winston (1971). On stage, he had already received favourable notice for his role in the original production of Joe Orton's Loot (1967), and he later starred in such films as All Creatures Great and Small (1975), as the author James Herriot) and Zulu Dawn (1979), as Lieutenant Vereker.
His career stalled in 1987 when he suffered a mysterious physical attack which resulted in serious brain damage and memory loss, but he later resumed acting, with recurring roles in such television series as Judge John Deed and The Tudors, and film roles including that of Mr Linton in Wuthering Heights (1992), which starred his daughter, Sophie Ward.
The son of a car dealer, he was born in Beckenham, Kent, in 1941, and had acting ambitions from an early age. He was educated at Alleyn's School, Dulwich, where the National Youth Theatre was founded. He joined it at age of 13 and stayed for eight years. After a spell training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art he made his stage début with the Northampton Repertory Company in 1963, and in the same year he appeared on the London stage when played the title role in Hamlet in a National Youth Theatre production at the Scala Theatre, its cast including Hywel Bennett and Bill Kenwright. He then worked with repertory companies in Birmingham and Oxford.
Though he is sometimes reported to have made his film début as one of the rebellious students in Lindsay Anderson's If… (1968), he is not credited on screen and his participation has never been verified. Films in which Ward certainly appeared before Young Winston include I Start Counting (1969), in which Jenny Agutter suffered the threats of a serial killer, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969), one of the better Hammer horrors, in which Ward was a young doctor blackmailed into helping Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) perform his gruesome experiments, and Quest for Love (1971), an intriguing time-travel romance starring Joan Collins.
Ward had a great personal success in Young Winston, particularly in the scenes depicting his love-hate relationship with his father (Robert Shaw), who tells him, "You're the greatest disappointment in my life', and his mother (Anne Bancroft) a ravenously socialising American. Ward's subsequent films included Hitler: The Last Ten Days (1973), in which he was a "sympathetic" Nazi, and The Four Feathers (1978). He played George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, in Richard Lester's lively The Three Musketeers (1973) and its sequel, The Four Musketeers (1974).
He and Colin Firth played idealistic pilots in the First World War adventure Aces High (1976), based on RC Sheriff's classic play Journey's End, and distinguished by its fine aerial sequences. He played William Trench in the 1978 version of The Four Feathers, and frequent television productions included An Inspector Calls (1982) and The Corsican Brothers (1985). In 1986 he starred as TE Lawrence in the first London revival of Terence Rattigan's Ross, which toured the UK and played in Toronto before opening at the Old Vic in London.
In 1987 he made newspaper headlines when he was discovered unconscious with a fractured skull by a canal in Camden, London. He was unable to recall the devastating incident, for which he had brain surgery, and since there were no witnesses the police were (and remain) baffled.
Ward developed a chronic blood disorder, polycythaemia, due to the assault, but he was able to gradually resume his career on stage, screen and television, in 1995 becoming part of a controversy when at very short notice he took over Stephen Fry's leading role in the play Cell Mates after Fry walked out and disappeared near the start of the run.
On television, Ward had notable success as Sir Monty Everard in Judge John Deed (2003-07) and Bishop Gardiner in The Tudors (2009-10). In 2010 he embarked on an arduous tour starring in Alan Bennett's play The Madness of King George III, but last May he had to withdraw from a revival of Pygmalion, in which he was playing Alfred Doolittle, because of a virus he could not overcome.
Ward had three daughters, the eldest being Sophie Ward, who had been married to a vet for eight years when she came out as lesbian, and in 2010 she married Rena Brannon at a registry office in Stroud. Ward's youngest daughter, Kitty, is married to the stand-up comedian, Michael McIntyre.
Ward moved to Somerset in 2010 and said, "It has taken the edge off my hunger for working because it is so beautiful here, and I love being near my children and six grandchildren."
Simon Ward, actor: born Beckenham, Kent 16 October 1941; married (three daughters); died 20 July 2012.

On Stage Audio and HARMANâs JBL Loudspeakers are Clear Winners at Presidential Debates
NORTHRIDGE, California â Audio rental systems provider On Stage Audio has supplied JBL VRX Constant Curvature loudspeakers for use in all three presidential debates and the vice presidential debate. The presidential debates took place at the University of Denver on October 4, Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York on October 16, and Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida on October 22. Additionally, the vice presidential debate took place October 11 at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.
The audio system for each event remained consistent across the different locations, with JBL VRX932LA portable line arrays arranged in clusters of two each in left-center-right configurations, with two additional delay fills of two VRX932LA loudspeakers each. Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifiers powered the system, with processing handled by a dbx SC32.
Larry Estrin served as Audio and Production Communications Director for the Commission on Presidential Debates, overseeing the audio/video systems for each event. âHigh-profile events such as the presidential and vice presidential debates leave zero margin for error when it comes to the audio reinforcement systemâit is imperative that the system performs flawlessly,â Estrin said. âAs was the case during the debates four years ago, the JBL loudspeakers once again delivered high-quality, reliable sound.â
While On Stage Audioâs Chicago-based facility provided similar audio system packages for each of these three locations, JBLâs ability to provide a variety of loudspeakers for different needs helped overcome any acoustical challenges that may have arose in each venue.
âThe combination of JBL VRX loudspeakers, Crown amplifiers and dbx processing gave us a high-performing and consistent audio system that we were able to deploy in several different environments,â said Jim Risgin, Vice President of On Stage Audio.
On Stage Audioâs Chicago-area rental services facility can be reached in Wood Dale, IL at (630) 227-1008 or on the web at http://www.osacorp.com/

It was fun and I think Capaldi has given us a pretty strong start as the new doctor. Really liked how they've clarified that the Doctor is not Clara's boyfriend, that bodes well for the future as well.

Family friendly footpaths needed for Yarrawonga
A Yarrawonga mother has launched a campaign for more footpaths to be installed along local streets.FIONA BLICK January 7, 2014 3:54pm
Concerned resident Catherine McKinley told the Yarrawonga Chronicle she spoke to Moira Shire Council recently voicing her concerns about young children and parents with prams being forced to walk on the road because there was no alternative.
"Between Kathryn Crescent and Derry Drive there is no walking path at all along Zorro Drive and this is a highly trafficked route, particularly during the morning drop off and afternoon pick up at the nearby childcare centre," Catherine said.
"For that short amount of distance there is no footpath and so many people end up on the road because they can't or don't want to walk over people's lawns and garden areas."
Although the footpath exists on other parts of Zorro Drive, Catherine said as soon as this ends it was clear where people began to walk on the road.
"I feel that continuing the footpath to the end of Zorro Drive so that it connects to the Murray Valley Highway is an important project," she said.
And according to Catherine parts of Witt Street were also the same.
"There is nowhere to walk along sections of Witt Street and it is a real thoroughfare, particularly for kids travelling to school," she said.
"Witt Street attracts a lot of traffic and the intersection of Witt Street and Woods Road are very difficult to negotiate.
"Children on scooters are forced onto the road on their journey to school, prams either have to tackle the difficult terrain of lawns or walk on the road, as do all other users.
"Yarrawonga is a great town to be out and about in, walking and cycling, but we should be safe as well.
"Moira Shire was positive and helpful when I spoke to them about my concerns.
"They told me if I can show there is a real need with good community support then we might be able to access funding."
Moira Shire Council is responsible for the construction and maintenance of all local roads, streets, and urban drainage networks.
New roads, streets, and drains are funded by special charge schemes, grants, and council funds.
Footpaths are provided to the community to facilitate a safe, convenient, and defined means for pedestrian movement alongside roadways and to link public spaces.
"I would ask people to seriously consider showing their support for this worthwhile project by signing the petition that will be available at Sacred Heart College, Sacred Heart Primary School, Yarrawonga College P-12 primary campus, Yarrawonga Newsagents and Sacred Heart Church," Catherine said.
"If we work together on projects such as this to build our community I truly believe it demonstrates our care and concern for each other and highlights the value of living in a rural community where people come first."
For more information on petitioning for footpath development in Yarrawonga please contact Catherine McKinley on email@example.com.

Romney Can Get the Job Done
President Barack Obama is charismatic and inspiring, but he won office too early in his career, and he is a victim of his own success. Sweeping into office with majorities in the Senate and House, Obama quickly passed a Democrats-only stimulus package that didn't deliver as promised. Then he signed a health care package that increased the burden of health care on private employers and failed to attract a single GOP vote.
Obama's Affordable Care Act helped unseat moderate and other Democrats who had voted for the package, handing the House to Republicans. Suddenly, Obama had to work across the aisle. He reached out to House Speaker John Boehner in an effort to negotiate a "grand bargain," but his insistence on raising taxes on families earning $250,000 or more sabotaged the effort. Obama could have pushed for tax reform as a means to raise revenue. Instead, he clung to a gimmick that would do next to nothing to dent the $16 trillion national debt — it would fund government for about a week — and was doomed to fail in the House. It's not even clear that Democrats, excluded from his talks, would have supported the Obama tax hike.
As long as Obama insists on this particular tax hike, there can be no deal to stop the country from going over the "fiscal cliff" — a tax increase on 90 percent of households, along with mandated spending cuts — on Jan. 1. The president won't change course, even though the threat of the fiscal cliff scares employers who otherwise might hire new workers.
Undaunted, Obama told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday that going over the fiscal cliff "will probably be messy" but that it is essential to position Washington so he can get a "grand bargain." Obama wants to take the U.S. economy over the cliff so that he can save it later.
In 2012, voters have a choice between an incumbent who has given up until 2013 and a challenger who just doesn't quit.
Mitt Romney is far from a perfect candidate. He ran as a socially moderate fiscal conservative when he campaigned to replace Ted Kennedy as senator in 1994 and to be governor of Massachusetts in 2002. When he pivoted to run for the White House, he transformed himself from Massachusetts Republican to traditional-values anti-maverick Republican.
If Romney has changed, it is in part because of a personal journey that often brought a reserved man outside of his comfort zone — Stanford during the anti-war era, France as a Mormon missionary, Harvard's law and business schools. Romney put down roots in Massachusetts. If Romney came of age sticking to his bedrock values, he did so acutely aware of a world that did not share his beliefs and fiercely protected the right to flout them.
Obamaland tried to paint Romney as a conservative anti-woman extremist, but his happy wife and soft-spoken manner belied that image. Stanford professor William B. Hurlbut, who advised Romney on bioethics, describes Romney as a "decent man" who is clear-minded. "He's capable about thinking of a subject both in its human implications and its practical implementation."
Obama also has criticized Romney for being light on details — specifically not telling voters which tax exemptions he would eliminate to compensate for his proposed tax rate reductions. I, too, question Romney's ability to deliver on his pledge to reduce all income tax rates by 20 percent, increase military spending and reduce the deficit. But I think he starts from a sweet spot.
Romney earned his reputation as a turnaround artist as a venture capitalist and savior of the Olympics. He balanced four state budgets and passed a landmark health care bill with the help of Kennedy, a former rival. Romney has proved that he can get things done, work across the aisle and broker deals.
I asked Martin F. Nolan, former Boston Globe Washington bureau chief, how Romney got along with the Bay State's Democratic leaders. "He didn't love them, but he talked to them," quoth Nolan. Romney held regular Monday meetings with the leadership, which is why "you never hear any of them trashing him."
And he knows how to get a job done.
