Patrol officers attempted to stop the vehicle on West First Street, but the suspects did not comply with the order, instead leading officers on a vehicle pursuit that ended in a parking lot on State Street in the city.
|
The driver of the vehicle, identified by police as Kevin M. Walker, 27, of Matthew Street in Elmira, fled on foot, police said. He was later found and arrested in the area of West Fifth Street by members of the Corning Police Department.
|
A passenger in the vehicle, Adams E. Phillip, 28, of Kingsbury Avenue in Elmira, was arrested by police officers as he attempted to exit the vehicle.
|
Police reportedly found property inside the vehicle linking Walker and Phillip to the reported burglary on Sunset Drive.
|
Police charged Walker with second-degree burglary and second-degree criminal possession of marijuana, both felonies, along with third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer and reckless driving, both misdemeanors, and numerous vehicle and traffic violations.
|
Phillip was charged with second-degree burglary and second-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
|
Both suspects were taken to the Corning Police Department and held overnight for arraignment in Corning City Court.
|
The Steuben County Sheriff's Office and New York State Police assisted at the scene.

Country singing legend Glen Campbell has released a heartrending final song and video. The song, I'm Not Gonna Miss You, was recorded in 2013, two years after Campbell, who is best known for songs such as Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman, announced he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
|
"I'm still here but yet I'm gone / I don't play guitar or sing my songs," Campbell begins, and then pays tribute to his wife, Kim, singing, "You're the last person I will love / you're the last face I will recall," according to CNN. Throughout the video, as Campbell's lyrics recall his struggle with the mind-robbing disease, a combination of personal videos and clips of performances dating back five decades recall his remarkable life. Included is footage of a doctor showing him X-rays of his brain and explaining how the disease will destroy his memory.
|
Before the 78-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame member and Grammy winner was admitted to a special care facility in April, he was matter-of-fact but upbeat about his condition.
|
"I just take it as it comes, you know," Campbell told CNN in February 2012. "'I know that I have a problem with that (forgetfulness), but it doesn't bother me. If you're going to have it handed to you, you have got to take it, anyway. So that is the way I look at it."
|
"There's nothing bothering me," he told USA Today last year. "I'm actually getting along with it. I told it to get out or something. I don't even know it's there.
|
"I always wanted to sing songs from the heart," he said. "I still do."

As Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 gears up for its early 2016 shoot, some big news has been flying around involving potential new cast members, as well as folks who are returning to the fold. Unfortunately, it looks like everyone's favorite hoarder, The Collector, will not be coming back for a second round – at least, that's what Benicio Del Toro seems to think.
|
I don’t think so. They would have told me… I do hope to play that character again at some point.
|
When we last saw Benicio Del Toro's Collector in the post-credits sequence of Guardians Of The Galaxy, he shared a drink with Howard The Duck and Cosmo the Space Dog while sitting in the wreckage of his recently exploded gallery on Knowhere. So, if the Collector is not going to be a presence in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, at the very least we know he'll be keeping busy cleaning up the mess that Star Lord and his crew left after that incident with the Infinity Stone in their possession. Still, Del Toro's character isn't exactly vital to the continuing story of the Guardians franchise, at least not that we can tell. So his absence, while a bummer for fans of the actor's work, doesn't seem to get in the way of the story being told.
|
Despite his upset about quite possibly not being featured in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, Benicio Del Toro will probably be thanking the fates for his non-involvement as he'll be left with plenty of time to play his obviously secretive role in Star Wars: Episode VIII. With Rian Johnson's sequel looking to film in the very near future, and casting almost assuredly underway at this very moment, Del Toro's supposed lead villain slot will probably take up a good chunk of, if not the rest of, his 2016 schedule. Though it wouldn't be out of line if Del Toro is offered some sort of cameo / post-credit sequence appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even as he ventures to the far, far away galaxy of Star Wars: Episode VIII.
|
As he prepares for his piece of Star Wars: Episode VIII's puzzle, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 is still a going concern for Benicio Del Toro, even if he hasn't been offered anything other than residuals from his performance in the first film. Maybe James Gunn will try to work some sort of magic to slip him into his next MCU outing, but in the meantime Del Toro will have plenty of time to make some phone calls to his agent and gets used to pronouncing those fun Star Wars character names.
|
You can see Benicio Del Toro next in the film A Perfect Day, which is slated for limited release this Friday.

Google’s (GOOG) much awaited answer to Facebook ecosystem is finally coming to light. The existence of this Google platform was first reported by TechCrunch and is going to become official tomorrow.
|
Google will announce its new social networking initiative, Open Social on Thursday. Joining Google and its Orkut social network are other partners such as XING, Friendster, hi5, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Newsgator and Ning.
|
OpenSocial is a set of common APIs for building social applications on the web. These common APIs mean that developers only have to learn once in order to start building social applications for multiple websites, and any website will be able to implement OpenSocial and host social applications.
|
Google has managed to attract some of the key Facebook app companies Flixster, Rock You, Slide, and iLike to work with them on OpenSocial. The lure of expanding their widget base to other Social platforms such as hi5 and XING, perhaps was too hard for them to resist.
|
Even if you take Facebook out of the equation, the task of writing and adapting widgets for the every increasing number of social platforms was going to turn into a colossal mess. OpenSocial looks to address some of those issues. This is a mild negative for start-ups who are offering middleware services around widgets.
|
More social networking? Is this going to decrease the “somebody has hugged you” or “somebody has waved at you” messages or increase them?
|
Does anyone know how google chose the networks for the new open social?
|
OpenSocial, the GPhone, everything Web 2.0. Just brill.
|
I don’t use Orkut, hi5 (which spams your address book and sends invites to EVERYONE without your consent), Flixter (similarly dubious), or ANY these other sites OpenSocial is collaborating with. Why can’t Google integrate Last.FM, YouTube, LJ–in a nutshell, sites PEOPLE ACTUALLY VISIT REGULARLY.
|
On further analyzing this, it is a SOA strategy, Google has just taken the leaf out of that and is putting the pieces together to build an open and interoperable platform. This will hurt myspace, facebookMicrosoft) and yahoo in coming months as Google has the potential to make others less significant players . For me one noticeable player missing is digg.com, rest are all good.
|
This was only one PART of what I wanted to see from google. I was also hoping that google would construct a graph with an API from their several properties ( YouTube , Gmail , Orkut , IGoogle).
|
Well Google is definitely making sure Microsoft’s investment and momentum is of no use now. Its killing two birds with one stone, may be three (myspace, facebook, microsoft). Google is definitely hurting Microsoft big time and making them nervous and make mistakes. Not to mention apple is not making Microsoft life easier as well.
|
Anyway this is more of a sensible move rather than invent a new phenomenon, let us concentrate on synerging whats already their.
|
Some lesson for Linux vendors, to follow googles lead.
|
This will be quite awesome if it runs as good as the rest of the google api/web services like google maps, I have quite a few unused domains laying around that i will have to dust off any give a run at this.
|
Google strikes back- Microsoft better listen! or?
|
From my understanding I think that Google is making itself as a platform to launch social networks which is similar to any operating system. Would this strategy work? TOugh to tell now. Since google is having its own social networking site, we don’t know how its competitors would like to collaborate with google. Wait and watch is my advice!
|
The real and official hosts/partners (participating social networks) include Orkut, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Plaxo, Friendster, Viadeo and Oracle.
|
The Facebook FBML markup language makes dev much easier, not harder.
|
Let’s not forget the GPhone. Imagine this thing hitting the Open Social API + Mashed Up w/Dodgeball. Real-time status of your entire social network. Booyah.
|
This is about more than widgets. Essentially this is OpenID + Social Graph in one API, open to any app developer.
|
Flixster, iLike, RockYou etc. will love this because they can now create apps that are “socially aware” and are not limited to being inside the Facebook walled garden. Imagine going to iLike for the first time, already having login creds and an existing network of friends that you can interact with without having to re-establish them. That is where this thing is going to really take off.
|
Oh and let’s not forget that Google is/probably has been consuming these APIs themselves. One obvious scenario: No longer having to keep your GMail address book up to date manually. Your social graph is your rolodex.
|
this is all very good . but how will it stop mass exodus of users from Xing ,Hi5,Friendster to Facebook. Its not clear how Google is adding value to the equation here . do they seriously think that API Brokerage is a long term competitive advantage .
|
or they are trying to put forward and standardized a Soc. Nw. Markup language ? later makes more sense as this Markup language will be tightly coupled with AdSense .
|
management bandwidth . this might be fatal for the initiative .
|
Hi5,friendster ,Xing have made alliance with Google to boost their usage ,if this fail, say in 02 years max is it very hard to imagine these Tier 2 Soc. Nw opening up their gates for supporting Facebook API based application too .
|
After all you loose your virginity only once and than you can’t go back to it.
|
Isnt that what gives a social network users the ‘warm & fuzzy’ feeling that they are ‘connected’ to only the people they trust , anyways ?
|
The timing of this announcement was likely driven more by the markets than by technical/internet issues. Google had to respond to Microsoft’s moves so they needed to get this announcement done. More info and a clearer picture in the near future.
|
what role is google playing here. Are they trying to be the middle man for all the developer community and small startups that write widgets. If that is the case- who is making the money?. Or- are they playing the role of a widgetbox with API’s to access other social network community.
|
Even I have written something about this news in my blog. Neverthless, I would love to hear your insights on this.
|
Does this mean I’ll be able to add my friends to any one of the networks and it will get added to all of them? What does this mean for users of these host networks, apart from the proliferation of apps?
|
I’m guessing there are going to be lots of caveats to this announcement. LinkedIn has repeatedly said that anyone will NOT be able to launch a LinkedIn app. Maybe they are going back on that, but maybe they will only let SalesForce launch an app…and who cares if they do it on OpenSocial.
|
FOr small businesses who are looking to use social media to futher thier business whare do they start ?
|
This is exactly what was expected.
|
I was hoping you’d elaborate much more commenting on the strategy of Google. In my very limited understanding, I don’t see this as a potential threat to Facebook from the advertising perspective. Would Google have access to the user profile of all the “hosts”? So, what if its providing this API to tie in widget development? Apart from taking away the exclusivity of some of FB apps (perhaps) how is Google benefiting here? (Apart from the orkut data it has ofcoz).
|
I thought you could comment on these issues rather than having an “informative” post which is more like a news headline repeat.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved legislative language related to student nutrition standards Thursday that offers less wiggle room for schools than language approved by a House panel earlier this week.
|
The move is the latest in a battle over the school meal standards created under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, a battle that has heated up this week. Groups like the School Nutrition Association have argued that compliance with the standards is difficult and costly for districts. Groups committed to battling childhood obesity trends say issues with the rules can be handled through the regulatory process, not through congressional intervention.
|
You can read the full amendment here. The Senate panel's language follows a decision by the USDA this week to allow some schools flexibility in meeting stepped-up whole grain requirements set to go into effect July 1.
|
Also earlier this week, a House of Representatives panel included language in its agriculture spending bill that would require the USDA to grant schools a waiver from some strengthened school nutrition standards for the 2014-15 school year if they can demonstrate that compliance created an economic hardship.
|
The House language would require waivers for districts that can demonstrate "a net loss from operating a food service program for a period of at least six months that begins on or after July 1, 2013."
|
Harkin said Thursday he thinks the USDA should evaluate the difficulty of compliance and assist districts that are struggling, rather than an all-or-nothing approach of allowing complete opt-outs from the nutrition standards.
|
"To produce a blanket waiver and to back off entirely would be unacceptable," he said.
|
Now we wait to see if there's a compromise between the two chambers' approaches in a conference committee.
|
Update: "Providing a waiver and gutting the program is not in the best interest of America's children," Vilsack said in a conference call with reporters organized by the USDA. He highlighted USDA efforts to assist schools with compliance with the new nutrition standards—including technical assistance and grants for kitchen equipment. Vilsack spoke alongside several former military leaders involved in Mission: Readiness, an organization that says childhood weight issues often grow into adult obesity and health problems that can disqualify people from enlisting in the military.
|
"With time and with patience this is working," Vilsack said, "and it really doesn't need an overhaul or a fix that some in congress are articulating a need for."
|
Meanwhile, the School Nutrition Association, which has advocated for the waiver approach, released a "Myth vs. Fact" sheet to address "misleading information about the challenges schools have faced under the new regulations."
