In the timeless quest for healthier, younger looking skin, scientists from the University of Cincinnati and Tokyo Medical University have made an important discovery toward manipulating skin tone and color. The implications of this research range from helping doctors develop more natural looking bioengineered skin grafts to helping cosmetics companies develop new products for achieving the "perfect" sunless tan. The research study, published in the September print issue of The FASEB Journal, shows for the first time how to manipulate skin color and tone using cells previously thought to play no significant role in this function.
"Most immediately, this study should lead to bioengineered skin grafts that more closely resemble the natural tone and color of recipients, which may help reduce the appearance of scarring," said Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "Down the road, however, this study opens doors to new types of cosmetics based on our understanding of how and why 'skin deep' differences in appearance evolved over millions of years."
In the article, researchers describe how cells responsible for pigmentation, called melanocytes, can be controlled by the most commonly occurring skin cells, called keratinocytes, which produce no pigment of their own. Working with bioengineered skin, which is used for some types of skin grafts, the researchers juggled various mixtures keratinocytes from people with different types of skin colors. In turn, the keratinocytes produced chemical signals to "tell" melanocytes to produce more or less pigment, called melanin, as well as how to distribute that pigment. The researchers found that using keratinocytes from light-skinned individuals had a lightening effect on the bioengineered skin graft material, while keratinocytes from dark-skinned individuals had a darkening effect. This is a significant finding as it shows a conclusive link between keratinocytes and melanocytes and because keratinocytes are much easier to manipulate than melanocytes.
Medical conditions that sometimes require the use of bioengineered skin grafts include severe burns, scleroderma, epidermis bullosa, diabetes, and venous leg ulcers. In addition, the study's senior researcher, Raymond Boissy, says this study also could "help the quality of life for people with pigment diseases such as vitiligo, melasma and age spotting by making their skin more healthy looking."
The FASEB Journal (www.fasebj.org) is published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and is consistently ranked among the top three biology journals worldwide by the Institute for Scientific Information. FASEB comprises 21 nonprofit societies with more than 80,000 members, making it the largest coalition of biomedical research associations in the United States. FASEB advances biological science through collaborative advocacy for research policies that promote scientific progress and education and lead to improvements in human health.

Blue Jackets stop Flames
Calgary, AB – Vinny Prospal, R.J. Umberger and Mark Letestu each posted a goal and an assist to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 6-4 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday.
Matt Calvert, Derick Brassard and Ryan Johansen each had a goal for the Blue Jackets, who snapped a three-game slide to finish a four-game road trip with a 1-2-1 mark. Steve Mason posted 29 saves in the win.
"It's a big two points for us and a good way to close out this road trip," said Columbus head coach Todd Richards.
Dennis Wideman, Curtis Glencross, Brian McGrattan and Mikael Backlund all scored for the Flames, who fell for the fifth time in seven games and were playing their first contest since trading former captain Jarome Iginla.
Early Thursday morning, a presumed deal with Boston fell apart and Calgary instead traded the 35-year-old Iginla to Pittsburgh for a pair of college forwards and the Penguins' first-round draft pick in 2013.
Miikka Kiprusoff was pulled after two periods for surrendering five goals on 20 shots. Joey McDonald stopped all four shots he faced in the third as the Flames had an eight-game home winning streak snapped.
"I can't fault the effort, but obviously we gave them three or four goals," said Calgary head coach Bob Hartley. "I have to give my team a really good grade for the effort, for the compete level that they put in."
Columbus got the only goal of the first period while shorthanded halfway through the frame when Letestu scored off a bad turnover in front of the net by T.J. Brodie.
Calgary tied the game 2:54 into the second when McGrattan scored on a backhand in front after Mason failed to cover up a rebound.
The Blue Jackets scored the next two goals as Prospal notched his at the 8:44 mark off a 2-on-1 break when he converted a feed from Umberger, and it was a 3-1 game at 10:12 when Calvert shot it in from the right circle.
The Flames got one back less than a minute later on Backlund's goal from in front, but the Jackets got it back with 3:41 to play in the middle frame as Brassard scored on a rush from the left side for his sixth of the year.
That wasn't the end of the scoring. The Flames made it a 4-3 game on the power play with 2:12 to play in the period on Wideman's fourth of the season, but Johansen scored a minute later to restore a two-goal edge heading into the final period.
Calgary made it a one-goal game with 5:40 to play on Glencross' snap shot over the glove of Mason from the top of the right circle on the rush, but the team was unable to net the equalizer and Umberger sealed the win with an empty- netter in the final minute.
Game Notes
Columbus hosts Anaheim on Sunday ... Calgary plays in Edmonton on Monday ... The Blue Jackets took two of three from the Flames this season ... Calgary went 1-for-4 on the power play while Columbus was 0-for-1 ... Iginla left the Flames as their all-time leader in goals (525), points (1,095) and total games (1,219), while placing second in assists (570) over his 16-plus seasons in southern Alberta.

A Statement From Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
A question I answered today at an appearance before the Council on Foreign Relations regarding ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq regrettably was misunderstood.
I have acknowledged since September 2002 that there were ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq.
This assessment was based upon points provided to me by then CIA Director George Tenet to describe the CIA's understanding of the Al Qaeda-Iraq relationship.
Today at the Council, I even noted that "when I'm in Washington, I pull out a piece of paper and say 'I don't know, because I'm not in that business, but I'll tell you what the CIA thinks,' and I read it."
The CIA conclusions in that paper, which I discussed in a news conference as far back as September, 2002, note that:
* We do have solid evidence of the presence in Iraq of al Qaeda members, including some that have been in Baghdad.
* We have what we consider to be very reliable reporting of senior level contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda going back a decade, and of possible chemical and biological agent training.
* We have what we believe to be credible information that Iraq and al Qaeda have discussed safe haven opportunities in Iraq.
* We have what we consider to be credible evidence that al Qaeda leaders have sought contacts in Iraq who could help them acquire weapons of mass destruction capabilities.
* We do have one report indicating that Iraq provided unspecified training relating to chemical and/or biological matters for al Qaeda members.
I should also note that the 9/11 Commission report described linkages between Al Qaeda and Iraq as well.

(Reuters) - The doom-mongers said Italy's Euro 2012 quarter-final with England had 0-0 and penalties written all over it and although that is what transpired, the Azzurri deservedly progressed after looking fresher and more inventive.
England defended manfully - as they almost always do - but it is not enough in an international tournament and when Alessandro Diamanti's winning spot kick hit the back of the net on Sunday, purists Europe-wide heaved a sigh of relief.
Inexperienced Mario Balotelli missed a host of chances, and Italy's lack of clinical finishing could well be found out in Thursday's semi-final with Germany, but he at least found himself in decent positions unlike the poor Wayne Rooney.
One diving header over and a misdirected overhead kick was all England's usual talisman could muster in a leggy display which belied the fact he had only played one match in Ukraine and Poland because of suspension and should have looked fresher than all the rest.
Italy dominated possession with 64 percent of the ball and had 35 shots to England's nine, with 20 on target. Daniele De Rossi and Diamanti hit the post and Antonio Nocerino had a goal disallowed for offside.
Gone are the days of Italian catenaccio and trying to seal 1-0 wins, whatever the blank score line says. Pundits still comment that Italy are defensive, but that is because they have good defenders, not because of the style of play.
Italy see holders Spain as the high watermark, with coach Cesare Prandelli praising his Latin brothers every time he can, but Sunday's game was in some ways more entertaining than the world champions' cagey 2-0 win over France on Saturday.
Spain might have managed two more goals with 30 minutes less game time but Italy were always looking to score, unlike Spain and certainly unlike England.
The Azzurri have learnt one thing from the English and nowadays they look much more threatening from dead balls than in the past, meaning all their attempts at goal do have not to come from clever flicks or sublime Andrea Pirlo passes.
AC Milan thought 33-year-old Pirlo was washed up last year when they let him join rivals Juventus on a free transfer only for him to inspire the Turin side to steal Milan's Serie A title.
The 2006 World Cup winner sprayed the ball around the Kiev pitch like he owned the place, which he did for large parts of the contest as Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker were run ragged in a one-dimensional English 4-4-2. His chipped penalty was coolness personified.
Pirlo still needs to move closer to the opposing goal to be really effective but Germany will identify him as the man they have to stop to reach the final. Indeed, all of Italy's four goals in the group stage were scored or created by Pirlo.
England missed the injured Frank Lampard, someone with guile to create like Pirlo, but in truth England's long tale of woe when it comes to major tournaments is a just reflection of their creative limitations whatever the glamour of the Premier League.
Italy kept the ball for long spells but moved it faster and were more forward-thinking than Spain. The lack of a finisher though may prompt Prandelli to mull bringing in Antonio Di Natale for Balotelli, who at least dispatched his penalty with aplomb.
Italy's penalty shootout record improved to three successes in eight at major tournaments while England have now won only one of seven.
But it was not penalty demons that did for England, it was the footballing gods who knew full well that Italy had deserved to win.

So, what, exactly, is TuneTracker? It's a radio automation software package, which is actually quite an apt descirption, surprisingly enough. "Our radio automation packages offer TuneTracker's legendary automation stability, huge format flexibility, a powerful music selector, built-in Internet streaming, local, live-assist, and satellite capabilities, touch screens, and in Command Center, just about every imaginable automation feature including a remote administration option," the product page explains.
The new version, System 5, has just been released - and for the first time, it's released for Haiku. "While BeOS has always been, and continues to be, a rock-solid performer, Haiku is equally solid and dependable, and runs even faster on the same hardware," the press release states, "Under Haiku, the TuneStacker music selector/program log generator can build an entire day's program log, randomly selecting all the music, even with aggressive proximity protection, in a few seconds. Haiku has the added benefit of being open source and under active development by programmers around the world."
This is a very big deal. Sure, TuneTracker is a professional softweare package for a very specific purpose, but it's been designed from the ground up around BeOS' strength, and because of this, it makes extensive use of features unique to BeOS, and now Haiku, such as its file system. Haiku's performance, of course, runs circles around heavy modern operating systems, making it ideally suited for software like this.
Cooler yet, you can also buy systems with Haiku and TuneTracker pre-installed. Again, these are specialised machines with a specific purpose, but we're still looking at hardware with Haiku pre-installed, and I have to say - I find that quite awesome. "It was clear to us that Haiku 4.1 and TuneTracker System were indeed a match made in heaven," its developer, Dane Scott, writes, "There were no gotchas or compromises. Everything just worked. Everything just ran. It still gives me goosebumps to think about it. And fast? My gosh. There's no launch time for anything. You double-click on it and it's there, even TuneTracker itself."
Awesome news, this.

Historical Beaux-Arts Skyscraper in Heart of Toronto
Dating back to the early 1900s, the 12-story skyscraper on the corner of Yonge and King Streets in Toronto's financial district, decked in Corinthian columns and Beaux-Arts stylings, served as an office for a Canadian bank. That same building is now the home of One King West Hotel & Residence, and its exterior got quite the upgrade: a spiraling modern 51-story tower was built adjacent to the original bank building. The sleek hybrid building, known as "The Sliver," has the narrowest height-to-width ratio in the world and is the tallest residential building in Canada.
It also has lavish modern accommodations. The superior suites, situated high up in the bank building, look out to downtown Toronto and the lake. Each of the rooms features high ceilings, picture windows that open, and equipped kitchenettes.
Downstairs, Executive Chef Samuel Fiore prepares prix fixe and à la carte creations at Bistro on King, the hotel's signature international restaurant. Kids aged 6 or younger enjoy free continental breakfast at the bistro. You can also head to Henri's Bar in the hotel lobby for lighter fare and a lengthy list of fine wines, beer, and cocktails.
Toronto, Ontario: Scenic Trails, Boutique Shopping, and the Hockey Hall of Fame
Toronto is known as a wonderful walking city with a sprawling network of eclectic neighborhoods and miles of waterside parkland. Set on the shores of Lake Ontario, the city's scenic hiking and walking trails wind along the harbor front. From there, a northerly stroll takes you to the fashion district, where warehouses and old factories that sat empty for years now house upscale restaurants, galleries, and cutting-edge boutiques. A bit farther north lies Kensington Market, a bohemian village rife with vintage shops and organic-food markets.
Toronto may be home to Canada's best collection of museums. Hockey is a national pastime, so it makes sense that the Hockey Hall of Fame is here. Its Pepsi Shut Out interactive exhibit challenges goaltender wannabes to stop a slap shot against a virtual Wayne Gretzky. The Hall of Fame's centerpiece is the hallowed Esso Great Hall, home to the Stanley Cup and portraits of all 366 inductees. Science buffs can stop at the Ontario Science Centre to watch an IMAX film, delve into space at the planetarium, or touch a plasma ball at the Science Arcade.
The nearby Art Gallery of Ontario exhibits an astounding collection of work from Canadian artists and European masters in a Frank Gehry–designed building that centers on a floating circular staircase. Toronto is also known as a city of gardens, and you'll find one of its best—the Toronto Music Garden—stretched out along the waterfront about 1.5 miles (2.3 km) southwest of the hotel. Designed in part by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the music garden translates the music of Bach through beautiful, landscaped installations, including a winding river and giant grass steps.

Viktoria Telek won Wilhelmina Models' 2009 Hot Body Model Search, which awarded her with a five-year contract. She entered at an open casting call at a Vitamin Shoppe in Miami and competed against thousands nationwide. Since then, she has appeared in Shape and other magazines while still teaching boot camp on South Beach, exercising nonstop, and selling real estate.
Why do you like keeping fit?
Being physically active every day increases your energy. I can have a day that's stressful but the time I'm working out I'm totally relaxing. And I like to push myself, to challenge myself, get faster, stronger, to better myself. You get that good feeling afterwards. Your body feels rejuvenated.
What exercises do you do?
I play different sports one or two days a week. I have a group of pretty committed friends and we play volleyball on South Beach, on the sand, during happy hour on Friday and Saturday or Sunday. I also wakeboard and kiteboard — kiteboard season is coming up. I do boxing on my own. This year, I was an Everlast girl, so I have a lot of boxing equipment. I trained for that on the beach but now do it at my house.
I do spinning. I ride my bike up and down the bridges on South Beach. And I run on the beach. Used to run a lot but after a while my knees started to hurt. But every day I'm doing something like sprints on the beach, which works your calves a lot more and engages all the muscles in your leg.
Five days a week, I teach boot camp on South Beach. It's very functional training. We work on speed, agility and using my own body weight. The main focus is on your core. After boot camp, I usually train another person that day.
Do you lift weights?
I have weights and resistance bands that we use for some boot camps, but I don't use machines usually. Once in a blue moon. I do push-ups, shoulder press with light weights, squats with light weights…
Traditional going to the gym and lifting weights serves a purpose to look good, but functional workouts are more effective for sports or your daily life because you're using more muscles. Just because you can bench-press a lot doesn't mean you can play volleyball. And volleyball incorporates your core. Without [exercising] your core you can't do much. You'll mess up your back.
What's it like being a fitness model?
It can be tough. You're not just sitting there looking pretty in front of the camera. You have to hold a weight for a long time and it's not easy. For Everlast in the boxing ring, it was kick, kick, kick. For Shape magazine photo shoots, I do various different exercises. You have to hold the position, sweating but trying not to. It's fun.
Did you do any competitive sports in school?
I ran cross country in high school and my first year of college.
Do you have a personal fitness motto or philosophy, like Nike's "Just Do It"?
"Take no shortcut." I don't believe in a diet pill or "use this machine" to get all the results you want. Fitness is a lifestyle. You have to incorporate it into all aspects of your life. You have to do it all.
My other motto is "Exceed your limits, take your life to the next level." You have to motivate people to get to the next level.
Do you have any physical problems that hinder workouts?
The major thing is when I was 18 I broke my heel and that's why I don't run as much. My heel can't take all that impact. After every workout I ice it and stretch it. I dislocated an elbow snowboarding, but it's better.
What's your typical daily diet?
I don't like when people ask what I eat. The amount depends how active I am for a particular day.
Starting with breakfast I have small meals every two to three hours. It's important to get your metabolism going in the morning, and keep it going, so I always eat carbs and protein for breakfast. A couple of hours after breakfast I have a snack, then lunch, then snack, then dinner.
I don't eat fried food. I cook a lot of fish with sweat potato and rice. I eat lean red meat, nuts. But raw nuts and not salty. I really like fruit even though it has sugar. That's OK.
I believe in portion control, stopping when you're full, filling up on what's good.
Do you take any sports supplements or vitamins?
Every afternoon I drink a protein shake that I make from a protein powder that's designer whey, 100 calories (per serving). It's all-natural ingredients. I add a banana, blueberries, a little yogurt. I take a daily multivitamin and occasionally some iron because my iron gets low.

Audi TT Quattro Fuel Injector Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Find a RepairPal Certified Shop
What is a fuel injector?
Once fuel arrives at the engine, most modern vehicles distribute the fuel to individual fuel injectors that regulate the amount of fuel used for each engine cycle.
How does the fuel injector work?
Pressurized fuel is sent into the engine using fuel injectors. Each time an intake stroke occurs in the engine, the vehicle's computer will end a signal to fuel injectors, requesting they spray fuel. For heavy acceleration, the duration of the fuel spraying will be longer than if the engine were idling. Fuel injectors spray fuel into the cylinders in the same fashion as a household cleaner spray bottle, except that they are electronically actuated.
Based on calculations made by the on-board fuel injection control computer, the fuel injector injects a precise amount of gas into the engine. The computer analyzes the outside air temperature, the amount of air being drawn into the engine, the temperature of the engine, and many other parameters before deciding exactly how much gas to inject into the engine.
What are the symptoms related to a bad fuel injector?
When a fuel injector fails or clogs, the engine suffers from fuel starvation, power is reduced, and misfires occur. These conditions may be intermittent, sudden, or increasingly worse. The check engine light will illuminate on the instrument cluster, and the fuel deliver system will be suspected based on the various on-board diagnostics trouble codes that are stored in the vehicle's memory. As the issue progresses, the engine may being to stall immediately after starting, fail to start, hesitate under throttle, or vibrate roughly.
Can I drive with a fuel injector problem?
It is not advisable to drive a vehicle with a fuel injector issue. A vehicle that stalls every few moments, and accelerates unpredictably is a hazard. The vehicle may also be impossible to drive, since the fuel cannot reach the engine. Also, lean operating conditions produce very high heat, and can damage internal engine and exhaust components.
How often do fuel injectors need to be replaced?
On average, fuel injectors tend to fail after 80,000 miles, and require little maintenance during normal scheduled maintenance. To prolong the life of the fuel injectors, follow the scheduled maintenance intervals for cleaning the fuel delivery system and injectors.
How are fuel injector issues diagnosed?
If fuel delivery system symptoms are present, the technician will first conduct a visual inspection of the vehicle, and note any observed issues related to the fuel delivery system. If the fuel delivery system issue is not clear after a physical inspection, the servicing technician will connect a computerized scanner to the vehicle, and examine current conditions that are being reported by the various sensors in the vehicle. The stored OBD codes will provide information and direction for which components to inspect further. In the case of the fuel injector, the technician would most likely find that misfires are happening frequently on one engine cylinder. Once the technician suspects the fuel injector, the fuel injector(s) in question must be tested, and may require removal for further bench testing. When the round of testing is complete, any failed component must be replaced, and the vehicle will be tested to ensure the customer complaint does not return.
Fuel Injector Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Fuel Injector Replacement is between $911 and $1176 but can vary from car to car.
How is a fuel injector replaced?
Most modern vehicles require the intake manifold to be removed to replace the fuel injectors. This can be a large job that may involve draining the engine coolant and engine oil, removing many engine components, and replacement of the intake manifold gasket. Many vehicles, however, are designed with plastic intake manifolds that do not have oil passages or coolant passages, and are much faster and more cost effective to remove and reinstall. Once access is available, the fuel injector is disconnected from the fuel rail and electrical connector, and removed. Replacement is the reverse.
RepairPal Recommendations for fuel injector issues
When replacing fuel injectors, using the OEM fuel injectors is the best choice for most applications, and this is especially true when replacing only one or two fuel injectors. Keeping the injectors the same will ensure even power across the engine, and proper air/fuel mixture for all cylinders. This should result in a smooth running engine.
What to look out for when dealing with fuel injector issues
Fuel plays a large role in the health of an engine, and fuel system. It is best to ensure you are adding fuel of the appropriate grade for your engine, according to the instructions in the owner's manual. When working with fuel, the battery should always be disconnected, and proper precautions taken against fire hazards.
Can I replace the fuel injector myself?
Fuel injector replacement should be left to a professional in most cases. The risk of fire due to electrical components and fuel in close proximity is enough by itself, but this repair can turn very complicated. A good amount of knowledge goes into removing the injectors, intake manifold, fuel rail, and other components, and attempting without knowledge of these components could lead to injury or vehicle damage.

Musical Artist David Hillendahl's career has spanned nearly three decades, as performer, teacher, and author.
Beginning as a private music instructor while still in high school, Mr. Hillendahl later attended Houston's University of St.
Thomas, where he was the Music Department's first Percussion major, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Music
Performance. Just after graduation, Mr. Hillendahl was recruited to play percussion for the company of the Broadway
musical "Godspell," which toured for nine months in venues across the United States. For the next six seasons, Mr.
Hillendahl played for Broadway productions of "Pippen," "Jesus Christ, Superstar," "Showboat," "Mame," and "The Music
Man." on tour and in New York. Mr. Hillendahl also created original percussion scores and performed with the "Prince
Street Players" repertory troupe whose theatrical productions for children were featured nationally on PBS.
After nearly eight years of continual touring, Mr. Hillendahl relocated to Hollywood, California where he befriended
legendary drummer Buddy Rich, and continued teaching both privately and at California Lutheran College. While in
California, Mr. Hillendahl performed regionally and nationally with pianist Roger Williams, singer Maureen McGovern,
and a lengthy stint with the Coasters/Drifters at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
Following his performing career, Mr. Hillendahl began using drumming as therapy in schools, hospitals, and
rehabilitation facilities across the United States. A chance encounter with the late psychiatrist and researcher Elisabeth
Kubler-Ross led to extensive research in Sound Healing work which he successfully implemented in hospice programs
around the country. With formation of the non-profit Hill-Sky Foundation in 2002, his "Drums Through the Ages"
program has been presented to individuals across Texas, California, New Mexico, and Arizona. Mr. Hillendahl received
his Master's Degree and certification as a Music Therapist/Sound Healer in 2000.
Also in 2000, Mr. Hillendahl taught at The Victoria College, forming the institution's first Percussion Ensemble which
performed the world premiere of his "Beginnings," written in 1999. In addition, he has authored the drum instruction
book "Rhythms and Fills," marketed nationally by Pender's Music in Denton, Texas. Mr. Hillendahl has also written
and/or arranged numerous works for piano, choir, and jazz ensemble including Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn," and the
classic "Carol of the Bells" by Mykola Leontovych. He is a long-time Clinician and Endorsed Artist for Ludwig-Musser
Percussion and Sabian Cymbals.

Trustees vote to raise water, sewer rates
by Joshua Maloni
Village of Lewiston Mayor Terry Collesano said Monday his board has been inundated with comments suggesting Gary Hall should build his proposed recreation center in the Village of Lewiston. Many, too, he said, have complained about comments made last month by those who oppose the building's suggested placement behind the Red Brick Municipal Building. Trustees, Collesano said, want to hear from all residents, and not just one segment. So, the Village Board is hosting a public forum on the recreation center idea at 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 9, 2012.
"I don't think it was a good cross-section of the village" in attendance at the first meeting, Deputy Mayor Bruce Sutherland said.
Residents speaking on Nov. 21 said the building would nullify the existing park and interfere with the waterfront climate. Some also wondered about the costs associated with such a project.
Still, "There were many people (commenting afterward) that still thought it should be in the village," Collesano said of the recreation center.
Hall, the Waste Technology Services president and CEO, offered to finance the $2 million indoor tennis, soccer and game center.
Visit our Facebook Page to vote on whether or not the village should pursue this project.
Raised Rates
Also at Monday's work session, trustees approved a motion to adopt a proposed local law amending the water and sewer rates. Effective with the billing on Jan. 1, 2012, the water rate will be $3.55 per 100 cubic feet (up from $2.80), and the sewer rate will be $4.65 per 100 cubic feet (up from $3.95).
"Unfortunately, the county made an error ... that resulted in a raise in the (water) rate," Collesano said of the first figure, while stating the second reflects what the town is charging the village.
The board tabled this motion last month seeking more time to compare the Village of Lewiston's proposed rates with those of other municipalities. Trustees said their findings indicate the fee is in keeping with neighboring communities.
Sutherland said Niagara County should've charged the village a higher rate starting in 2002, but neglected to do so.
"We have saved a considerable amount of money," he said, noting the county is not asking the village to pay any retroactive fees.
News and Notes
•Trustees approved a facility contract for Niagara Hospice to hold its Hospice Dash through the village on Sept. 22, 2012.
"I think it's going to get bigger and better," Sutherland said of the event.
•The board agreed to install a banner below the Academy Park sign listing all of the village's holiday events. Of note, "Flames Through Lewiston" is Dec. 17, and the second annual Lewiston New Year's Eve ball drop is Dec. 31.

SEVIS Fee
What is SEVIS?
SEVIS is an acronym for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, and is a database used by the U.S. Department of HomelandSecurity (DHS) to track and monitor information about students and exchange visitors who are in the United States. UAF International Programs & Initiatives reports a variety of information to SEVIS, such as your address, your program of study, and your work authorization, among other things.
The SEVIS database itself is managed by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which is part of the U.S. Immigration and CustomsEnforment (ICE).
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal SEVIS Fee took effect on September 1, 2004. The SEVIS fee is generally a one-time fee of $200.00 for students in F-1 status and $180.00 for students in J-1 status. It is required for those who are applying for an F-1 or J-1 visa based on an I-20 issued for "initial attendance" or a DS-2019 issued to "begin a new program."
Proof of fee payment must be presented at the visa interview.
Important Points to Remember
Go to https://www.fmjfee.com to pay your SEVIS fee!
- You will need information from your Form I-20 or DS-2019 to pay your SEVIS fee.
- The SEVIS fee must be paid at least three business days before the visa interview, unless you have a printed receipt from an Internet payment.
- Take copy of receipt to visa interview.
- The SEVIS fee cannot be paid at the embassy or consulate, or at the U.S. Border.
A visa will not be issued unless the visa officer can verify that the SEVIS fee payment has been made; however, you may schedule your visa interview prior to paying the SEVIS fee.
If you are applying for admission to more than one U.S. school and have received more than one I-20, you must decide which school you wish to attend and use that I-20 to pay your SEVIS fee and apply for your visa. If you later change your mind before entering the U.S., you will need to apply for a new visa with the different I-20. You must attend the school of the I-20 that was used for the visa appointment and U.S. entry immediately after entering the U.S.
The SEVIS fee is not refundable, with one exception. If your visa application is denied, and you decide to re-apply for the same type of visa at a later date, you will not be asked to make a second SEVIS fee payment as long as your visa application is made within 12 months of the initial denial. Exception: if you are denied a visa and do not wish to reapply, or if your visa application is denied a second time, you may request a refund.

"Jokers" Messenger Bag, free interpretation by artist Stella Sbilenca
Moleskine Bags can be personalized, inside and out. With its shape and size, the Messenger Bag is particularly inspiring, beckoning to be filled like an artist's canvas. Abstract patterns, modern graphics, portraits, sewn stories, pieces of fabric, black & white and color effects. There are no rules, just a playful use of contrast with the black on the outside and the ivory on the inside. Just like with the notebooks. Same colors, same mood, same creative spirit.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 ReviewSamsung GALAXY Ace 2
The original Ace was a very decent phone for its bucks last year, and the Ace 2 is quite on the way to cover that ground this year as well. It has a decent size screen with good resolution, slightly underclocked yet dual-core processor, and 5MP cam with flash plus a front-facing camera.
Indeed you can't ask for much more from what this year fits into the lower mid-range Android device category. Its only disadvantage seems to be that it comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but read on to see what you get...
Nothing out of the ordinary can be said about the design. It is made with the usual for Samsung black plastic, with slightly patterned tapered back, and rounded corners. Despite the unassuming exterior, the phone lies very well in the hand. It is not overly thick or heavy, but feels solid, and is very easy to operate with one hand.
right, directly under your thumb, facilitating one-handed operation as well. This button, along with the volume rocker on the left, and the physical home key are easy to feel and with good feedback. There is a hot-swap microSD card slot on the right, too, protected with a plastic flap.

3.8" PLS LCD display on the Samsung Ace 2 is of above average quality for the phone's category. The colors are vibrant, it is bright enough for use in sunlight, and sports very good viewing angles. The 480x800 pixels resolution here translates to 246ppi pixel density, which is also above average, and you'd be hard pressed to call any interface elements jaded or pixelated.

Deserves that score.
This phone has issues:
1. Selling for $300+ (seriously?)
2. Poor camera (can be forgiven)
3. Unappealing design (can be forgiven)
4. Android 2.3 (what the hell)
5. Point number 4
3. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1544; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Seriously? I think it will sell quite well.
I'm not ging to defend it defects (like still 2.3) but it has several things against the competition:
Over Sony Xperia Sola: much better battery life, front facing camera and more RAM.
Over HTC one V: dual core processor, front facing camera, better battery life, more RAM, NFC if you want it.
It's just Samsung tactic: they give better tech specs that the other phones in the range, not mojo or anything, just the old bang for the buck.
And I expect price to go down shortly to $250 as in Europe the price is 250 Euros.
Just my opinion, but I would be surprised if it sells bad. The old ACE was REALLY bad and it sold in droves...
6. thunderising (Posts: 232; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
You can't say for battery life. Xperia Sola too gives 1 and half days of usage.
The extra RAM is hardly making that big a difference, SLOWER processor
One V has a stable and smooth ICS, with the usable Sense UI too.
This phone would make sense when it sells at Xperia U price. You're right, a $250 would be the sweet spot.
7. Jabarkas (unregistered)
You are wrong. Xperia Sola and Galaxy Ace 2 have exactly the same processor (NovaThor U8500). The only difference is 200 mhz. That means GA 2 is underclocked probably for slightly better battery life. To be honest, it's more than probable, that both phones have more or less the same power.
On the other hand Xperia U is clearly a lower model.
9. thunderising (Posts: 232; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
I write for a website with phones being my speciality. I already know about the ST-Ericsson Novathor chipset in both of them.
But that alone isn't criteria for battery life. It's the software loads that ultimately decide. Oh yeah screen size too (in case you forgot, Sony's lineup Sola and Xperia U have smalled LED displays)
12. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1544; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Well, actually I CAN speak about battery life based on the specificications both OEMs give about their phones:
The battery times of the ACE are 50% higher in any account, that´s no joke.
That and the fact the Samsung is famous to optimize battery life. Sony is not bad either there, but they tend to use smaller batteries and that figures.
In this case ACE: 1500 mAh and Sola 1320 mAh.

All consumers care these days are brand .
People will buy it BECAUSE it's a Samsung
5. Mafiatounes (Posts: 12; Member since: 13 Jun 2012)
1. Here in the Netherlands and Belgium i can buy this device for 220€! That is a nice price for this device.
2. Camera well it is not a high end, but it could get better with updates maybe.
3. To each his own.
4. There was a video of a Ace 2 showing off stock ICS so it will come.
15. IamYourFather6657 (Posts: 321; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
updates ? you kidding me ? thats not a high end device so you think samsung will care ?
21. PorkyBurger (Posts: 585; Member since: 18 May 2013)
Well, I guess SAMSUNG CARED. Then why Ace 2 has official JB?
23. me0613 (Posts: 10; Member since: 04 Apr 2013)
The Ace 2 has an update to JB.
2. Jabarkas (unregistered)
The review is nice, but I strongly disagree with the rating. In most aspects Ace 2 is better than its competitor - xperia Sola (which got 8/10).
4. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1544; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
It will be one of those phones were customer reviews will be a lot higher than the PA rating. I'm not going to say that this one is better than the sola, but I'm with you, the difference is too big.
10. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1242; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Samsung, do you even spend more than 5 seconds designing your phones anymore. "Umm... We'll make it black, rectangular, round edges. Add a little bit of chrome in there too! Ugh, we're so good."
11. saiki4116 (Posts: 413; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
A phone that covers every thing and wont burn a hole in your pocket.I was thinking of buying ACE2 or xperia U.The only thing that bugged me about the Xperia U is the lack of memory card expansion slot(you have to manage everything in the user accessible 4GB).I have used Xperia U in a mall,it flies through day to day tasks.The processor in Xperia U and ACE2 are same.When i saw the rating,I thought it might have had a large issue,After reading the review,I think that this phone certainly deserves more.
Seriously are you downgrading points for gingerbread?
Any how samsung's ICS is not that beautifull,I would go for CM9.
13. thunderising (Posts: 232; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
^^ That is if we have a CM9 port for it.
16. saiki4116 (Posts: 413; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
if CM10(Jelly Bean) port exists for galaxy pop,fit why not CM9 available for a capable device like this...

With all that college beef on parade this week, the NFL draft is a wonder of sports marketing, a televised pageant for the multibillion-dollar American football industry.
But there's something football fans should know:
Football is dead in America. It's as dead as the Marlboro Man.
And if the professional game survives at all, it will be relegated to the pile of trash sports, like mixed martial arts or whatever is done in third-rate arenas with monster trucks and mud. It won't be as American as apple pie. Instead, football will become the province of people with face tattoos.
Lawyers are circling football now. They've swooped in low, landing and hopping over to take chunks out of the great billion-dollar beast. But it's not the lawyers who are the death of football. Like their counterparts in nature, lawyers are merely the cleanup crew.
What finishes football are the parents of future football players. The NFL desperately needs American parents. Not as fans, but as suppliers of young flesh.
The NFL needs parents to send their little boys into the football feeder system. And without that supply of meat for the NFL grinder - first youth teams, then high school and college - there can be no professional football. And yet every day, more American parents decide they're finished with football. Why? Because parents can no longer avoid the fact that football scrambles the human brain.
In cultural terms, parents who send their 10-year-olds to play football might as well hold up signs saying they'd like to give their children cigarettes and whiskey.
I loved football. I loved it desperately. Even now, four decades later, I remember endlessly damning myself for being too small to play it at a big-time college.
And I still love it, but I can't shake the guilt of supporting the physical ruin of great athletes. My wife and I wouldn't let our sons play. We just couldn't.
Future historians may explain all this in terms of cultural change, of more information about concussions, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and brain damage, and another football killer, taxpayer liability.
Some 4,000 former NFL players have joined lawsuits against the league for allegedly hiding the dangers to the brain. This follows a rash of depression-related suicides, with some players shooting themselves in the chest so that their brains could be studied after their deaths. One of these was the great Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson. College players have also filed suit.
Eventually, lawsuits will overwhelm the high schools. And high school superintendents won't be able to increase property taxes to pay for the additional cost of subsidizing the game.
Football may hang on for a few years, like a cat dying under a backyard deck. Billions of dollars are at stake, feeding owners, players, agents, advertisers, and most importantly, bookies. The NFL is about gambling.
The game is not just a contact sport - it's a high-impact collision sport. It is about exploding into your opponent, refusing to break, while breaking others to your will and knocking them senseless.
Fans have been led to pretend that the violence is merely ancillary. But to say that violence isn't at the heart of football is a lie.
So if you're wondering about the future of football during the NFL draft, try this experiment: Ask the parents of a little boy about tackle football, about concussions, and look into their eyes when they speak.

Human flea
The human flea, Pulex irritans, is a cosmopolitan flea species that has, in spite of the common name, a wide host spectrum. It is one of six species in the genus Pulex; the other five are all confined to the Nearctic and Neotropical regions.[1] The species is thought to have originated in South America, where its original host may have been the guinea pig or peccary.[2]
This species bites many species of mammals and birds, including domesticated ones. It has been found on dogs and wild canids, monkeys in captivity, opossums, domestic cats, wild felids in captivity, chickens, black rats and Norwegian rats, wild rodents, pigs, free-tailed bats, and other species. It can also be an intermediate host for the cestode Dipylidium caninum.
Flea bites are typically red and inflamed. Overall symptoms include itchiness and rashes. Fleas can spread rapidly and move between areas to include eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic regions.
Common treatments include body shaving and medicated shampoos and combing.

Strategic NWE Cluster "Adaptation to the expected spatial impacts of climate change"
ForeStClim will soon join 7 other INTERREG IVB climate change projects and participate in a new mechanism called "strategic initiative".
You may download the detailed description of the cluster including action plan and budget details from the internal section of the website (File Manager --> 02_ForeStClim --> 04_Strategic Cluster).
Please be aware that the following description is just a working document, and currently neither fully submitted nor in any form accepted by the Joint Technical Secretariat (JTS). Therefore, considerable changes might have to be implemented in the course of the next few months.
1. Background and Cluster partnership
2. Aim and objectives of the Strategic Cluster
3. Description of the joint actions in the strategic cluster
4. Working structure of the strategic cluster
5. Schedule for the strategic cluster activities
1. Background and Cluster partnership
The INTERREG NWE programme aims at developing the Strategic Cluster (SC) "Adaptation to the expected spatial impacts of climate change". The goal is fixed in the operational programme (OP 2007, chapter 5) and supported by decisions of the steering committee. So far eight approved INTERREG IV B NWE projects that tackle the issues of Adaptation to Climate Change were motivated by the joint technical secretariat of the programme (JTS) to initiate the strategic project cluster. All eight projects (ALFA, AMICE, C-CHANGE, ForeStClim, FloodResilienCity, Future Cities, IMCORE, WAVE) are interested to join.
The Lead Partner of Future Cities (FC) (Lippeverband) and the FC scientific project
assistance (Consultancy INFRASTRUKTUR & UMWELT, Germany) started together with the other seven relevant projects to develop the cluster initiative. In three meetings (Cologne, September 15th and November 10th 2009, Rotterdam October 8th 2009) the following scope and actions of the cluster activities were identified.
2. Aim and objectives of the Strategic Cluster "Adaptation to the expected spatial impacts of climate change"
The aim of the cluster is:
• To establish and promote measures
• To call for action
• To share knowledge
for efficient adaptation to the expected spatial impacts of climate change in NWE.
To reach this aim the cluster pursues three concrete objectives:
1. Surplus for cluster projects: Enhance the outcomes of the cluster projects on
adaptation measures and assessment tools
2. Policy influencing: Improve the impact of the project's outcomes relating to policies by drawing policy relevant conclusions and recommendations on the basis of joint findings of the cluster projects and mainstreaming adaptation into policies, programmes and planning
3. Communication and dissemination: To communicate the strategically relevant results and interim results of all cluster and the cluster projects with EU-policy makers, EU-research institutes, relevant national policy makers, other INTERREG programmes / strategic initiatives
Key outputs of the strategic cluster:
The cluster will develop
o A common joint definition of "Climate Proof" (related to adaptation)
o Joint messages and joint publicity action towards two main target groups (public, policy / decision makers)
o Political messages: What is necessary in future and which decisions have to be taken; Where are gaps in actual policies, programmes, plans.
3. Description of the joint actions in the strategic cluster
The actions shall produce tangible joint outputs that are policy relevant and in the
strategic focus. Related to the three objectives four work packages were developed:
1. Adaptation to climate change – assessing vulnerability, impacts and adaptation measures
2. Policy recommendation and mainstreaming
3. Communication and Dissemination
4. Cluster coordination
4. Working structure of the strategic cluster
The working structure of the cluster is planned as follows:
• Cluster Leader (CL): All participating projects decided on a cluster leader
(Lippeverband / Lead Partner of Future Cities)
• Cluster coordination Office (CCO): One central cluster coordination office of the SC under the control of the cluster leader will be responsible for organisation, reporting, budgets and coordination / supporting the development of thematic outcomes.
• Interlinked Thematic Cluster Panels (ITCP): Four interlinked thematic cluster panels (Built environment, Water environment, Natural environment, Social environment) with representatives of relevant cluster projects; members to be nominated by the projects, in regard to the topic.
• Cluster Steering Committee (CSC): The implementation of actions is monitored by the Cluster Steering Committee where all Lead Partners of the participating projects take part. The CSC is chaired by the Cluster Leader.
In terms of the time schedule the main focus of all working units is on:
1st year: Tools and measures / WP1,
2nd year: Policy recommendations / WP2,
3rd year: Final cluster communication / WP3.
Tasks of the Cluster Coordination Office
• Office available for the lead partners of the involved cluster projects and their project partners (around 100)
• Thematic coordination of questions and comments regarding the topic "Adaptation to the spatial impacts of climate change" for the NWE-programme and Interreg-projects
• Coordinating and supporting the development of strategic outcomes
• Developing and producing information material (e.g. information modules) for the cluster projects to be integrated in the communication material of the individual projects (in print projects, websites,etc.): Factsheet "What is the cluster about?", main messages of the cluster, Logo, etc.
• Coordinating the implementation of the communication plan (products / meetings/ final workshop/conference etc.)
• Financial reporting (cluster leader)
5. Schedule for the strategic cluster activities
Start date of cluster activities: June 2010;
End date of the strategic cluster: December 2012. Additional 6 months for Cluster
Coordination Office for formal completion and summarising results.

Johnson's 27 leads Colorado past Washington 91-65
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Xavier Johnson scored a career-high 27 points, tops among three Colorado players with at least 20 points, as the Buffaloes routed Washington 91-65 on Sunday night.
Josh Scott tied his career best with 21 points and Askia Booker added 20, giving Colorado its first trio of 20 point scorers in the same game since Kal Bay (21), Dominique Coleman (20) and Richard Roby (20) did it against Oklahoma State on Feb. 3, 2007.
The win was the third straight for Colorado (18-6, 7-4 Pac-12) and avenged a 71-54 loss at Washington on Jan. 12 in which the Buffaloes lost star point guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a season-ending knee injury. Tre'Shaun Fletcher, a key reserve, suffered a knee injury in the same game.
Johnson also had 10 rebounds for Colorado, which has won 15 of its 16 home games this season. It's the second most home wins in a season by Colorado behind the Buffaloes' 2011-12 team, which finished with 18 wins at the Coors Events Center.
C.J. Wilcox, the Pac 12's second leading scorer who had 31 points, on 7-of-12 shooting from 3-point range, in the Huskies' victory last month, was off target in the rematch. He finished with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting from the floor, including 0 for 7 from 3-point range.
The Huskies were without Desmond Simmons for most of the first half after he took an inadvertent elbow to his head battling for a rebound. The blow opened a cut on his forehead and trainers helped him off the floor and into the locker room for treatment. He returned in the second half with a bandage covering the cut.
It was the third consecutive loss for Washington (13-11, 5-6), which was led by Nigel Williams-Goss with 15 points.
Up by 17 at halftime, Colorado went in front 68-50 on a breakaway dunk by Jaron Hopkins and put the game away with a 10-0 run that stretched its lead to 83-57 with 4:03 remaining. Johnson fueled the surge with a 3-pointer and fastbreak layup.
Setting the tone from the outset, the Buffaloes scored the game's first 10 points and had an 11-3 flurry over the last four minutes of the first half to take a 48-33 lead. Xavier Talton closed the surge with a jumper just before the buzzer sounded, giving the Buffaloes their biggest output of the season in the first half and the most ever in a Pac-12 game.

Most people who own a Nexus One assumed they would have Android 2.3 running on their phone by now. Google employees began tweeting back in December that an over-the-air(OTA) update should arrive in the coming weeks and the official @GoogleNexus account also tweeted that message as recent as January 4th.
When Google released the source code for Android 2.2, an OTA update for the Nexus One was available just six days later. The source code for Android 2.3 was released on December 17th and now a month later people are still patiently waiting.
Now JR Raphael of Computerwold reports that a Google representative told him "there have been no unexpected hurdles and that the rollout should be starting soon." I just checked our vault and this is the fourth story we have run that says the Nexus One 2.3 update is "coming soon" so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
Even though Google claims there have been no unexpected hurdles, I have to wonder if the random reboot bug found in the Nexus S could be the source of the delay. The Nexus S is the only device that is currently shipping with Android 2.3 and comments from Google suggest that the bug is software based and will be fixed with a future OTA update.
Hopefully Nexus One owners should not have to wait that much longer. There are quite a few custom Android 2.3 ROMs already available, but I know many people just want the stock build from Google.
How much longer do you think it will be before Google pushes out the official 2.3 update?
