Keaton Austin
Westminster College Student Spotlight: Keaton Austin
Major: International Business
Hobbies/likes: I enjoy working out, running, sports, anything physical. I also like hanging with friends.
Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah
Why did you choose Westminster over other schools?
One-on-one help with teachers. Great business school.
What do you particularly like about your major?
I like that I don't only get an idea of how business works in America, but how business works in the world economy. I don't only have to focus on one area of study, like management, but I can learn about any area of business.
How do you feel about your learning experiences at Westminster?
I feel great about them, the teachers are always there to help. I have never had a bad teacher--all have been great. If I didn't know something, I could just email my professor and expect a response within a few hours. I don't know of another school where teachers are so helpful and care so much about everyone succeeding.
What else would you like to share about your overall experience at Westminster?
I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I love it here, and am proud to have a future degree from here.

To trade Bobby Ryan, the Ducks want a few pieces, including a 2nd line center.
i guess forget the bobby ryan suggestion unless we actually give away filppula which i doubt we'd do and even then i doubt itll be enough for them
we might have to take risks and trade for guys like chris stewart (which would require a 3rd team) who underachieved but have potential to rebound
Why wouldn't we trade Filpulla for Ryan ... Ryan > Filppula it's a automatic upgrade for a player. Filppula has nothing more to offer us then what we've all ready seen from him. Trade him, pick up Doan and Suter and end of story!

In response to a report that the singer-actress is having an affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, Rimes posted a statement on her official Web site Wednesday morning explaining, "This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support."
The personal drama didn't stop Rimes, 26, from appearing on Wednesday's episode of Live with Regis and Kelly where she said, "Everything's great!"
When Regis Philbin mentioned there was a rumor circulating about her, she shrugged it off by noting, "There's rumors all the time."
The singer added that "everything people read it's not as easy as black and white" – a sentiment echoed on her Web site.
Meanwhile, Sheremet, 28, posted an update on Twitter stating, "I love my wife!!!" on Wednesday.
Rimes and Cibrian, 35 – who is married to model Brandi Glanville and has two sons, Mason, 5, and Jake, almost 2 – costar in the upcoming Lifetime original movie Northern Lights, which they filmed last fall. Us Weekly alleges the pair had a romantic rendezvous as recently as March 14.
On March 1, Rimes was spotted holding hands with her husband at a farmers market in Brentwood, Calif. Last month, she told PEOPLE that their plans to start a family were "still there," but added, "I'm not sure when that's going to happen" because she is currently focusing on acting.
Anniversary PartyRimes and Sheremet celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary March 11, and even hosted a "Seven-Year Itch" party last August, thumbing their noses at the idea that couples lose interest in each other after being together for that long.
"We wanted to remember how blessed we are, and how excited we still are about each other," Rimes told PEOPLE at the time. "We love each other."
The singer, however, admitted she and her husband, a dancer who has also co-written songs with with his wife, had little time for each other: "I saw him the other day and he was like, 'We've gotta get together!' . . . and I'm like, 'Can you do this day?' and then it's like, 'Talk to you in October!'"
Last year, Rimes who was 19 when she got married, said: "Every odd in the world was stacked against us. But we've grown together instead of apart. And we're really happy."
Calls to reps were not returned.

5 Fantasy Characters That Need to Be Rebooted
So you've just finished your first novel that takes place in the fantastic world of Belbivdevoia, and it's a ripping yarn about a young man who finds out he's the Chosen One and is hunted by the Evil Forces of the dastardly villain Shaga'Cockdroop as he travels across the world with his sidekick and best friend, the unassuming Dingus McFatty, and a motley crew assembled by his protector, the great magus Porkins, including the lithe and mysterious elven archer Paulius Blarteveer, the gruff and stalwart dwarf warrior ButterFunk McChunk, and the valiant human hero (who is secretly a king) Areola Fellator. Awesome! Except this story had been written probably 1 million times already even before Tolkien made it popular and Terry Brooks ground it into the mud with his uncaring and uncreative heel.
The reason fantasy is often such a maligned genre, beyond what some authors like George R. R. Martin can produce, is that the bulk of it is the same rehashed pile of twice-pooped turds that we've all read and reread again. It's so bad that it's a cliche to point out the cliches now, but people keep doing it. Can anything stop the terrible no-brain trust over at Dragonlance from publishing the same 10 novels over and over again? Yes! You need to shake up convention! And with that in mind, here's how to fix the five most boring and unimaginative creatures that continue to appear in fantasy.
#5. Elves
Evgeniya Litovchenko/iStock/Getty Images
How you know them: Chiefly thanks to Tolkien, you know elves as Nordic-looking white people who may as well be extras from a lazy '80s porno. They are tall and elegant and fairly girly at all times, they live in forests and are experts at everything, but they still aren't good enough to be the hero because they have pointy ears, which makes them both different and, obviously, inferior.
As seen in: The Lord of the Rings, Sword of Shannara, Warcraft, Forgotten Realms, Warhammer
Shake That Shit Up: You don't need to go full Discworld with elves to make them nearly unrecognizable. That's the problem with most authors who try to break the Tolkien mold: They go so far in the other direction that they're only recognizable as elves because the author tells you they're elves. If we generally know elves as a race of near albinos, you don't need to make them 2-foot-tall proto-scrotums like Dobby. Instead, I would venture that having an elvish farmer in the mix who has a drinking problem could really shake up any fantasy story.

"I spunked in you Lembas bread flour, ya bastards."
War has come to the people of Fartasia. It is a human war, because of course it is. The elves don't want to get involved, because of course they don't. But they will pompously send one guy, because they're pricks like that. Sure, we have whole armies and the world is in jeopardy and all life may end, but maybe this one fucking guy who doesn't even have armor can help you save the day. Or not, we don't give a fig.
So rather than Legolas, you get Bertrand, the only guy the stuck-up shit elves could be arsed to send on your mythical journey. Bertrand the turnip farmer, who wastes all his money on dwarfish whores and elvish wine because his wife left him for a noble archer 400 years ago and he's held a grudge this entire time.

Chicks dig archers. Especially chick archers.
Bertrand isn't particularly tall for an elf, and he has a gut because he really doesn't do much all day, and he can't commune with nature for shit, because why should he? That's what his tramp of an ex-wife used to do, so the squirrels and the bees can all go fuck themselves with a honeysuckle. Bertrand fights with a kitchen knife, because who has time to learn swordplay exactly? That's like a really impressive skill, and he's spent his life farming turnips, like his dad did. Who the hell do you think grows all the food for the elves anyway -- Galadriel? Bitch don't even touch turnips.
Much like there is diversity in the human world, so too should there be diversity in the world of elves. They can't all be gallant and multitalented experts in all things, that would be weird and creepy.
#4. Dwarfs

How You Know Them: Midget Scotsmen. Perhaps the first fan of TLC before it was even a network, Tolkien really loved the idea of tiny, hirsute fellows from Glasgow running around with axes and hammers and no women. Never a woman to be seen.
As Seen In: Same shit I just listed above.
Shake That Shit Up: Dwarfs are the dickhead uncles of high fantasy. They're crotchety and stubborn, apparently as a result of genetics and poor grooming habits, and habitually live in mountains like some kind of goat tribe. It's likely their short stature has made them surly.
Eric Isselée/iStock/Getty Images
And my ax!
Like any good fantasy race, the issue with dwarfs is that they barely reach one dimension. Could you really have an entire race of guys with dumb beards who live in a mountain and mine together? That's the ultimate gay friendship beyond anything lumberjacks could ever dream of. Are there short dwarfs? Like one dwarf the other dwarfs make fun of for being ridiculously small? What if there was a dwarf who grew a beard the way I grow a beard and it's all patchy and makes him look like a sexual predator?
Your dwarf, in your groundbreaking fantasy novel, should be the one with brittle bone disease. Or Proteus syndrome, so he has two huge legs and then a regular dwarf body, and the other dwarfs shun him because he suffers massive claustrophobia and was never at home in caves or mines. Instead he became a minstrel and sings more like Robin Thicke and less like a belching bear. He is clean shaven and his weapon of choice is neither an ax nor a hammer. He wields a whip. Sassy.
#3. Goblins
Robert Mora/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
How You Know Them: Ugly little freaks. Be they green or black or just off-white, they usually have issues that require severe rhinoplasty and tend to engage in nefarious hijinks and the sorts of rabble-rousing that requires them to scuttle more than run. They may also steal your baby.
As Seen In: The Lord of the Rings, Warcraft, Labyrinth, numerous fairy tales, Final Fantasy
Shake That Shit Up: A goblin is pretty much an elf that isn't good. I just heard the cloud consciousness of nerds everywhere choke on a Flaming Hot Cheeto, but bear with me here, because it's pretty much true. Now, we could go into the idea of "dark elves" or "poon goblins" or "more shit I'm going to make up" that I expect you to read while making air quotes, but it's not necessary. At their core, goblins are just bad, mischievous elves. Depending on the seriousness of the fiction in question, their uncouth behavior can range from stealing stuff while you sleep to roasting you in a pie and feasting on your bones. The chief thing to take away is that if you gave a goblin blonde hair and proper posture, it would look a hell of a lot like an elf, and basically that means goblins are racist.
Ioannis Lelakis/iStock/Getty Images
Up yours, goblin fish!
No one likes a racist villain that isn't played by Leonardo DiCaprio these days, so you need to give your goblins more depth than David Bowie gave his. It was cool that they assisted him in jam sessions, you don't get that from a lot of mythical beasts, but maybe your goblins can be the victims of racism instead of just the result of it. (I'm completely sticking to this theory, by the way, sorry if you don't agree. Also sorry your heart is so black.) So maybe your goblins were as noble and benevolent as elves once, but the damn Aryan elves just repressed and oppressed the hell out of the ugly little farts until their whole race grew embittered and sour. And they're not inherently or pointlessly evil, because no one is; they've just grown up in a society that has, for eons, been under the callous heel of elves who felt themselves better, who used goblins as slave labor in generations past, and who put no value on their lives at all. So fuck yeah, the goblins want to kill you, you're running around with your effeminate archer friend whose great-grandfather used to hang goblins from trees and throw apples at them while they gasped their way to the great beyond.

As perseverance continues to be the dominating theme of my racing season while the challenges keep streaming in, I've begun to think about what it is that keeps me going. Where does it come from, this deep desire, unfazed by any failure, to keep driving and pushing on — this pure, profound love of sport?
I think it comes from many places, and has undoubtedly been building up throughout my life. But ultimately, I know this deeply rooted passion is very much a result of the people in my life who've influenced and encouraged my love of sports from the time I was young.
For starters, it can definitely be traced back to mom and pop, who since day one have supported and advocated my love for athleticism and adventure to the fullest degree.
It can be traced back to my childhood summer days of leaving my Glenshire home by bike in the morning and not returning until dusk, having rode around the neighborhood and played games with friends all day, only stopping for drinks and lollipops at the general store. It can be traced back to the fact that, for me, a day of independent entertainment as a kid meant packing a backpack full of snacks and heading out into the meadow of endless trails behind my house for an all-day adventure. All of my time spent at "Magic Island," a special spot in that meadow, was certainly the start of my appreciation for the great outdoors.
Then, as I grew up and participated in sports in a more organized, serious manner, I was incredibly fortunate to have numerous networks of friends, teams and coaches by my side day in and day out, pushing me to be a better athlete, and strengthening my love for sports.
As a member of both the Far West Nordic ski programs and Truckee Tahoe Swim Team from middle school through high school graduation, I was surrounded by incredibly positive people who not only impacted my athletics, but shaped who I am as a person. I was unbelievably lucky because, among those networks, staying active, healthy and having fun outside were "normal" culture.
When I got together with friends, these are the things we did. If someone stayed out too late and missed the next day's adventures, it was their loss, and everyone else made sure they knew it. As I progressed into college sports and had the benefit of a team and close friends by my side who shared my same goals, values and dreams as we started to take on the "real world," I understood even more just how lucky I was.
Today as a coach for the Far West Nordic junior ski programs, I see first-hand that the current juniors are getting this same experience, and I can see just how much it is benefiting them, not just for now, but in laying a strong foundation of healthy values for many years to come. How fortunate these kids are to be around peers who think endurance sports are the coolest thing out there, and that staying active is pretty much the "only way to be."
Now that I've decided to really try to take my athletics to the next level, I'm more aware than ever of the crucial importance of maintaining a positive network of people in my life. And I think this is true for anyone. Whether your goal is to succeed in athletics, simply to stay active and healthy, or something entirely different, it's essential to surround yourself with people who will support you in that goal, and help you move in a positive direction to get there.
I am so blessed in that I have some incredibly talented, motivated and unbelievably positive friends to share my many athletic endeavors and adventures. The same is true of my family. And when I finish a race where I've been derailed from my goals due to a flat tire, broken chain, or whatever else, my family, friends and training partners are there to provide support… to encourage me to keep going... to tell me I'm not crazy to be pursuing this dream of becoming a pro triathlete (even if they really do think I am!).
So thank you, to all of those who are a part of this network, for making me so much stronger than I would be alone. For pushing me to keep going. And for being so much of the reason I love what I'm doing. And to all of you working toward a goal of your own, I encourage you to find your network of support; your "team." Because even though we race on our own in endurance sports, as with many things in life, there's a team of amazing people behind every outstanding individual result.

This is SE. Their game will have the classical MMO formula. If you're a seasoned mmo player, you might be tired of it and that's fine. They already said they're going to be tweaking the battle dynamics throughout beta testing, but expecting them to revamp or completely overhaul a core game system just shows how unrealistic your expectations are for a game with such a troubled history that could have been scrapped just as easily.
I wouldn't say expectations, more like hopes.... Fair point though :)

Normally I do not wade into the murky waters where the MJ bullies swim however, since there seems to be a case of mistaken identity, I will join in now to set the record straight. I am Dianna Elzer. If I felt the need to defend anything that my husband does from a group of ill-informed cowards, I would do so under my own name, not hide as those that throw stones on here do. You may not agree with the stand that Don Elzer takes, but at least he takes a stand. It is easy to sit back and complain in a forum such as this and pounce on anyone that differs in opinion when no one ever has to know who you really are. Man up, if you have a problem with a village issue that arises, get on the agenda at a council meeting by making a request prior to noon on the Friday before a council meeting. If you cannot attend a meeting, send Don an email, his address is listed on the Village website. Leave me and my personal life out of your feeding frenzy. It does not concern anyone on this site.

Oil and Gas drilling does not pollute the water supply at all. My fiancée works for a Well Service. There's a lot more to drilling than most people know. There is money within the Oil and Gas drilling, and it's not up to us on here complaining about their decisions unless you are one of the people whom they may need land from.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - Prosecutors closed their case Thursday in the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse trial with testimony from a man who said his cries for help went unanswered as he was repeatedly sodomized in the former coach's basement.
When asked why, with Sandusky's wife sleeping upstairs, no one responded to his screams, the 18-year-old, looked down, chewed on his fingers, and softly answered.
"No one can hear you down there," he said.
His account of three years of abuse at the hands of the former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach punctuated four days of graphic and consistent stories of molestation from eight young accusers.

MOUNT PLEASANT — Republican 1st District Congressional hopefuls Mark Sanford and Curtis Bostic said Saturday that the issue of gay marriage and civil unions should be settled at the state level, not by U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
Their comments came as they made their final joint appearance in Charleston, a half-hour debate carried live on WCDB-TV's "Beyond the Headlines" program and moderated by Brad Franko.
The gay marriage issue made national news last week as the Supreme Court heard two related cases, but it hasn't been a big talking point in the GOP primary. Sanford and Bostic said they support a traditional definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.
Bostic said he would support a constitutional amendment to that effect, while Sanford said he viewed marriage more as a religious sacrament than the business of the state.
"I think we have to have a debate as Americans as, 'OK, let's sort things out," Sanford said. Bostic added, "This is an issue reserved to the states. This is a debate among the people."
GOP voters will go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether they want Sanford, a former governor and congressman, or Bostic, a former Charleston County councilman, to be their nominee for the race to fill the House seat vacated by U.S. Sen. Tim Scott.
During Saturday's show, both also voiced their opposition to Charleston County's half-cent sales tax, which county voters approved in 2004 while Sanford and Bostic were in office. And both expressed wariness about military involvement on the Korean peninsula.
"We need to be very deliberate before we extend the use of force," Bostic said. Sanford said the nation's economic health is vital to maintaining its military supremacy.
The lightest moment came during a break, when Franko said ideally he would have done the debate in blue jeans at a local coffee shop, rather than in a suit and tie inside a chilly TV studio.
"I think both of us are more bent toward that kind of discussion," Bostic said, and Sanford agreed — "we can leave right now."
The two aren't expected to appear together again in the Charleston area before Tuesday's vote, but they are expected to meet in Beaufort on Monday.
Tuesday's winner will face Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch and Green Party candidate Eugene Platt on May 7.

MACON, Ga. – The Stetson men's tennis team (13-1, 4-0) remained undefeated in Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 5-2 road victory over Mercer (3-11, 1-2) on Saturday afternoon.
The Bears, who defeated Florida Gulf Coast late Friday night, put Stetson in a hole early by winning the doubles point. The Hatters' number two doubles pair of senior Didrik Berg and freshman Simon Julin won 8-2, but Mercer won the other two matches to win the first point of Saturday's match.
Freshman Cahit Kapukiran then evened things up at 1-1, making quick work of Mercer's Vincent DeLise, 6-2, 6-2 at number four singles. The Hatters took a 2-1 lead in the match when Berg won at number one singles 7-5, 6-3 in just his second outing back from sitting out singles action with an injury.
Julin and Laurynas Antropikas both won their first sets by close 7-6 margins. The former won his second set 6-0 to give Stetson a 3-1 lead, and the latter won his second set 6-2 to clinch the victory for the Hatters.
The Hatters and the Bears split the final two singles matches. Freshman Egor Panyushkin won at number five singles, 7-6, 6-3, while sophomore Chester Espie fell to Arsav Mohanty 6-0, 1-6, 1-0 (7) at the number six position.
"The team fought back with determination after losing the doubles point," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "Mercer played excellent tennis today despite finishing their match against FGCU late last night. It's not easy to deal with rain delays and the uncertainty of possible additional showers, but our guys did a great job staying focused."
Stetson now returns home, and host No. 64 East Tennessee State on Thursday. The Hatters and the Bucs will square off at 12:00 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.

Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III raised more than $80,000 at a recent political fundraiser, and most of the money came from his staff members.
Eighty-five of his 90 assistant district attorneys and 14 of his 15 investigators donated a total $70,050, according to Sedita's filing two weeks ago with the state Board of Elections. All serve at the pleasure of the district attorney.
Some of his staff feel they were unfairly taken advantage of by their boss and his top administrators, according to present and former assistant district attorneys. Others say they were not coerced.
The donations are legal, and former district attorneys also received donations from many on their staff. But what was unusual in Sedita's recent fundraising event were the nearly unanimous donations from his staff, the size of the donations and the timing, just after his re-election last year when he ran unopposed.
Previous district attorneys accepted donations from younger assistant prosecutors, typically in the range of $50 or $100, and assistant prosecutors with more seniority would receive suggestions from their bureau chiefs to buy two tickets to a fundraiser, according to two former assistant prosecutors who served under District Attorney Frank Clark. One served under Sedita as well.
Sedita first ran for district attorney in 2008 and then again in November 2012, and during that time, most of the staff contributions to him ranged from $40 to $150, although some were higher. Sedita's campaign chest after the 2008 election stood at about $18,000.
But after Sedita's re-election, there was a change in the pattern of staff contributions, which ranged from $500 to $1,000, according to records from the State Board of Elections.
In April, assistant district attorneys, investigators and a handful of other staff members received a postcard from Friends of Frank Sedita, inviting them to "a brief meeting regarding the status of the office" for 9 o'clock on a Sunday morning at the Armory Tavern on Connecticut Street. When they gathered in a back room of the West Side tavern, the staff members were told by high-ranking supervisors Thomas Finnerty and James Bargnesi that they would be receiving invitations to attend a Sedita fundraiser in May at a downtown Buffalo restaurant and that the future of the district attorney's office could be uncertain. Finnerty mentioned there were a few pay periods before the fundraiser and that staffers were told, depending on their salary level, that they should consider giving from $500 to $1,000. Sedita was not present at the meeting.
The top administrators also told the assistant district attorneys that there was stiff competition for their jobs and that highly qualified law school graduates were eager to find work.
The resumes of prospective job applicants were so impressive that some of those at the meeting would not have been hired if they were competing against these newest job applicants in today's market, one current assistant prosecutor said.
Sedita's top attorneys also explained that the staff should donate in order to dissuade possible future opponents for the office of district attorney.
One investigator, who asked that his name be withheld, said the April meeting was cordial and no one was forced into making a contribution.
"There was no pressure," he said.
The assistant DA agreed: "You are not forced. They always say, 'You don't have to do it ...' "
The fundraiser was held May 13 at Tempo on Delaware Avenue.
Michael Flaherty, the first deputy district attorney, contributed the most: $1,250.
Other donors, according to Sedita's filing with the Board of Elections, included several well-known local attorneys, law firms and companies, whose donations, when added to contributions from the DA's staff, totaled $82,600. After deducting $8,000 for the cost of the event, Sedita's committee cleared about $74,600.
And after a number of other expenses were deducted since the start of this year, including a $5,000 contribution Sedita made to the Erie County Democratic Committee, Sedita's political campaign chest had a balance of $171,121.15.
Prior to the May fundraiser, Sedita's balance had been $107,236.12, representing previous campaign contributions.
The current assistant district attorney told The Buffalo News that there is frustration among a number of prosecutors in the office who feel they were coerced into making donations to remain in Sedita's good graces.
"When I got the postcard at home, I was surprised. He had just been re-elected, and we assumed he had been appointed a judge and was going to announce to us he was handing over the reins. Then we were told at the meeting that Frank Sedita needs to raise money, that it cost money to do the politicking and stay viable. He's got to have a war chest to ward off potential opponents," the assistant district attorney said, requesting anonymity because his job is an appointment by Sedita.
The News requested an interview with Sedita to discuss the fundraising. He refused and said he would only take written questions. The News sent him several questions, including: Did you ask your supervisors to organize the meeting in April? Did you have anything to do with organizing the May 13 fundraiser? Is it proper to be having a fundraiser so quickly after being re-elected? Are you running for judge?
Sedita did not respond directly to the questions but instead issued a statement that said in part:
"The most unpleasant aspect of holding elected office is political fundraising. However, given the fact that District Attorney is an elected office, political fundraising is necessary.
"I do not personally solicit donors for campaign contributions and leave it to others to do fundraising on my behalf. They are prohibited from engaging in any coercive or otherwise improper tactics. All fundraising done on my behalf has been completely legal, completely ethical and completely transparent ...
"Last month I was selected by Gov. Cuomo to serve on the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption."
Former Assistant District Attorney Matthew A. Albert, who was fired by Sedita in an unrelated matter earlier this summer, said he contributed $1,000 after receiving what he believed was a subtle threat from his supervisor, Kristin A. St. Mary, a bureau chief team leader in felony crimes.
"I told her I had five weddings to go to and could I put off making my donation until the end of the summer, and she said to me, 'Matt, you don't have to do anything. You don't have to remain employed here.' I told numerous people about her comment after it was said because it was so explicit."
"I paid $1,000. I looked at it as job insurance," Albert said.
Albert was later fired after it was determined he had a continuing relationship with an SPCA investigator involved in the animal cruelty case against horse owner Beth Lynne Hoskins and after he denied that relationship.
Sedita, in his email, said of Albert: "Simply stated, he is a disgruntled, disgraced and dishonest ex-employee with an ax to grind."
St. Mary, in an email, stated that Albert's claims are false.
"I am offended that I even need to state that I completely deny Mr. Albert's ridiculous accusations. That being said, I do, in fact, completely deny his claims," St. Mary stated.
But the current assistant district attorney said Albert's experience in being asked to contribute was not unusual.
"If you don't have the money, they will ask you to ask your parents or pay it in installments," the assistant prosecutor said. "Usually, your bureau chief will take you out to lunch or off county property and mention that Frank is running for re-election and contributions are needed."
Other employees in the district attorney's office either refused to comment or said very little about fundraising.
A former assistant district attorney who worked for many years at the DA's office said other district attorneys have solicited political donations, though he could not recall being asked to donate just months after the district attorney had been re-elected or being told how much to donate.
"We never, ever were told we had to contribute, but the DA would solicit funds through others on his staff," the former assistant prosecutor said.
A check of past campaign fundraising records from the state's Board of Elections showed that Sedita's immediate predecessor, Clark, received contributions from many of his assistant district attorneys.
One former official from the DA's office said that, while the practice of obtaining donations from staffers occurred in the past, he could not recall assistant DAs and investigators being invited to a Sunday morning meeting or any other off-hours meetings to talk about donating.
A New York State Bar Association opinion of 1995 bears out that comment, stating that prosecutors should not engage or even give the appearance of engaging in political activities that would show bias or favoritism.
The opinion states:
"The public should be reassured that prosecuting attorneys do not, and of equal importance, do not appear, to engage in partisan politics. Suspicion that a prosecuting attorney permits political considerations to affect his decision should be avoided."
Efforts to obtain comments from Sedita's supervising attorneys, Flaherty, Bargnesi and Finnerty, all present at the April meeting, were unsuccessful.
The law firm of Hodgson Russ was listed as the contact for the Friends of Frank Sedita Committee. The firm donated $500 to the May fundraiser. Attorney Joseph Sedita, a cousin of the DA and a partner at Hodgson Russ, said the law firm has nothing to do with the committee. He said he uses the firm's address, but there is no official connection between the committee and the firm.
Earlier this year, Frank Sedita made donations to several political organizations, in addition to the Democrats. One of them was for $125 to the Erie County Republican Committee. In 2011, he gave both major parties each $1,000.
What are Sedita's plans for building up a political campaign account that about four years ago had about $18,000?
He did not answer that question asked by The News.
There has been speculation that he might run for judge, though several months ago he indicated to The News he had no such plans. Sedita, in his statement to The News, also did not answer the question of whether he planned to seek a judgeship.
Under judicial election guidelines in New York, candidates may begin to raise money nine months before a political party conducts reviews and endorsements. The Erie County Democrats and Republicans generally hold judicial nominating conventions in September, so money from Sedita's May fundraiser would fall within the allowable amount of time for seeking money to run for judge.

2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
The MLB Rule 5 Draft is the last order of business at the MLB WINTER MEETINGS, and it is a mechanism that allows MLB clubs to select (draft) players off minor league Reserve Lists. There is a "Major League Phase" where MLB clubs can draft players off AAA Reserve Lists for $50,000, a "AAA Phase" where AAA Affiliates can draft players off AA rosters for $12,000, and finally a "AA Phase" where AA clubs can draft players off the reserve lists of Class "A" clubs for $4,000.
A minor league player who was 18 or younger on the June 5th immediately prior to signing his first contract is eligible for selection starting with the 5th Rule 5 Draft after he signs, and a minor league player who was 19 years or older on the June 5th immediately prior to signing his first contract becomes eligible for selection starting with the 4th Rule 5 Draft that followed his signing. (If a player signs his first contract after August 31st or after the minor league club to which the player is initially assigned has completed its regular season schedule, the next season is considered to be the player's "first season" for Rule 5 eligibility purposes). In addition, any player on a minor league reserve list who has been outrighted to the minors and/or released previously in his career is eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft. Also, an MLB club can designate any player on a minor league reserve list eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft even if the player would not normally be eligible, but once a player is made eligible for selection, he remains eligible for selection in all future Rule 5 drafts.

1. A club must have as many spots open on its MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) prior to the Rule 5 Draft as the number of players it selects in the Major League Phase.
2. A player selected in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft can be traded at any time, but the player cannot be released or non-tendered until he is given a "full trial" in Spring Training, and he cannot be outrighted to the minors any earlier than 20 days prior to MLB Opening Day.
3. A player selected in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft must remain on an MLB Active List (or MLB 15-day or 60-day Disabled List) for the entire MLB regular season following selection, and must spend at least 90 days on an MLB Active List (25-man roster) before Rule 5 restrictions are removed. (If time spent on an MLB Active List is less than 90 days in the season following selection, the player remains a Rule 5 player into the next season, and the player continues to be a Rule 5 player until he has spent 90 days total on an MLB Active List).
4. If a club decides not to keep a player selected in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 draft on its MLB 25-man Active List (or MLB 15-day or 60-day Disabled List), the player must be placed on Outright Assignment Waivers, where any of the other 29 MLB clubs can claim the player for the $25,000 Rule 5 waiver price and assume the Rule 5 obligations.
5. If the Rule 5 player is not claimed off Outright Waivers, the player then must be offered back to the club from which he was drafted, and the player's former club can reclaim the player for $25,000, with the player being automatically outrighted to the AAA club from which he was drafted. If he has at least three years of MLB Service Time and/or has been outrighted previously in his career, the player can elect to be an MLB Article XX-D minor league free-agent after being outrighted (he has three days to decide if he is outrighted during the MLB regular season, and he has a week to decide if he is outrighted during Spring Training), or he can accept the Outright Assignment and defer the right to be a minor league free-agent under MLB Article XX-D until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season. (The player is not eligible to be an Article XX-D minor league free-agent if he accepts the Outright Assignment and then is subsequently added back to an MLB Reserve List prior to the end of the MLB regular season).
6. If the player's original club declines to reclaim the player, the Rule 5 restrictions are removed, the drafting club retains the player, and the player can be sent to the minors.
7. A player selected in the AAA or AA Phase of the Rule 5 Draft must be assigned to the Reserve List of the AAA or AA club that drafted the player, and the player must be given a "fair trial" in Spring Training (Minor League Camp) with that AAA or AA club, but the player can be assigned to any minor league affiliate in the MLB parent club's organization once the minor league regular season commences. Also, unlike players selected in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft, a player selected in the AAA or AA Phase of the Rule 5 Draft does not have to be offered back to the club from which he was drafted if the player is ultimately assigned to a lower level minor league club after being given his "fair trial" in Spring Training (Minor League Camp).
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Cubs lose no one; draft RHP Mason Tobin from the Angels.
From Baseball America:
"Tobin has had Tommy John surgery that cost him all but three outings in 2009 and setbacks this year in his recovery that kept him out for all of 2010. When healthy, Tobin has showed a mid-90s fastball that pushes higher."
From Halo Heaven last winter:
"The 2007 16th round draft pick went down last spring with an elbow injury requiring Tommy John surgery, so I had assumed we wouldn't see him this year. Not so. Eddie Bane reports that Tobin's up and throwing long toss in Arizona, and that we should see him on the mound come mid-May (assuming no set backs). Tobin throws a heavy sinking fastball in the low to mid 90's that ranked as one of the best in the organization before the injury ended his season. The slider has been inconsistent, and the change-up nearly nonexistent. Scouts love the fastball though, and the Halos' FO has repeatedly labeled him as a guy who could move very quickly in a bullpen role. Think Kevin Jepsen if things break right."
I assume the Cubs are planning to stash him on the major league DL while they see what, if anything, he can offer...
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I'm really surprised and pleased that Smith is still with us.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I wasn't that shocked. It's hard to see a team gambling on Smith. There are always surprises, but here was a guy that, as of now, was limited to 3rd base. He had average power, more of a line drive stroke than good raw power. It's hard to carry a pure 3rd base backup on the roster all year.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I wasn't thinking he'd be taken as a bench player.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
who was going to take him with the intent of starting him at 3rd? I'm not sure I can think of a team that would've taken that shot.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
The Mariners, the Pirates if they realize that Alvarez can't stay there, the Royals, the D-Backs off the top of my head...
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Royals are expecting Moustakas at some point in 2011. Mariners are locked in with Figgins. Alvarez is probably fine for the next year or so.
The Dbacks were the one team that I could have seen, but you've got to be very bullish on Marquez and feel that he'll be better than Tony Abreu to make that move. That's far from certain.
AzPhil notes Cle, but they are expecting Chisenhall at some point in 2011 as well.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Figgins can play 2nd, if someone else plays 3rd for half a season in KC, I don't think Moustakis has a "release me" clause in his contract.
It costs probably $500K to develop a ML ballplayer. Taking someone who's played well at AAA and sticking them into your team for 250 PA's is probably a pretty good move.
You don't have to be bullish on Smith at all, it's $50K. Most GM's spend that much on toilet paper this week.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I saw Smith play. He has raw power.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I've seen him play a few times. He's more a 15-20 HR potential guy, with line drive HR's, than a 20+ raw power guy, if that clarifies what I was saying.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
"I've seen him play a few times.He's more a 15-20 HR potential guy, etc."
The interesting thing about Smith is that he started crushing the ball regularly in the second half last season. He had twelve HRs in August, another on 9/1, and then five in 97 ABs in winter ball. If he shows consistent power in spring training, other people who have "seen him play a few times" will take another look.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I don't really recall any reports suggesting he was "crushing" the ball with any more regularity. The dozen or so Iowa games I saw and the impression I got from others was that he was still pretty much the same hitter in AA in terms of power.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
in the minor league phase, Cubs lost Ronny Morla to the Mets and Casey Lambert to the Orioles.
Lambert was coming off TJS and working his way back. The former 6th round pick from UVA in 2007 had a plus curve and a upper 80's fastball at his peak. I think he can probably still make a good LOOGY type.
I was intrigued with Morla when we got him as a part of the Jake Fox deal. As a starter, he was a low-mid 90's type on the fastball. Out of the pen, it was more consistently in the mid-90's. Off the top, I believe his breaking ball was a slider and that it was fairly solid, and he had a change in the bag. He really had a solid year in Peoria's pen (9.84 K/9, 2.29 BB/9, 0.80 HR/9). I think he's an intriguing raw arm, but the Cubs have enough raw arms, so not that big a loss.
Would've liked to keep Morla and Lambert around, but the Cubs have built up enough lefty pen depth in the system in recent year, and Morla was far away.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Isnt the major league roster full at 40 players before the Rule 5? Somebody has to go.He has been traded to Texas.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
I'll be very curious if Tobin is part of something to do with those Davis rumors or if it's a standalone move.
Edit: On his blog, Bruce miles has said that it's for cash considerations, so it sounds like a standalone move.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Oh shit, my number is up for season tickets. I've been on that evil list since late 2004 or early 2005. I got 4 terrace reserved IF seats in the last row(23). Now I just need to figure out how to pay for em. Anybody have a spare $11k?
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
This made me think to check my own place on the list. After inching forward for a couple of years, I've noticed I jumped from 28K+ to 15K+. Did the Rickettses release a bunch of new seats, or did the turnover just start to pick up?
I've been hoping this one isn't an impossibility such as my presence on the Bears waiting list.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
They made the Tribune give up the seats they owned. They added some bleacher season tickets. And I'm sure the combination of a shit economy and a shit team helps as well.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
And I'm sure the combination of a shit economy and a shit team helps as well.
I hate everyone.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
Alright. So the odds of me moving up significantly further are pretty low. Got it. Nothing a couple of 100-loss seasons can't fix.
Re: 2010 MLB Rule 5 Draft
What's the saying? Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it?

I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.
rain delay...thanks obama.
Thanks again Phil. We actually were in Mesa and drove around. Hopefully, I am back for some Fall League. If not I have all of spring training (like the smart people who move here!)
What Rob G said. I can't speak for Piittsburgh, but the other end of the state has had absolute crap weather for two days. Perfect day to take it easy.

LISBON - The Nov. 6 election may be over but election observers remain.
Official election observers for the Democratic and Republic parties have taken up temporary residence at the Columbiana County Board of Elections while the staff processes 1,030 provisional ballots.
Provisional ballots are those cast election day but that go uncounted because of questions over voter residency and registration. These ballots remain uncounted until those questions are resolved by the staff over the next two weeks.
While election observers were present at the board offices on Nov. 6, elections board director Adam Booth said another Democratic observer arrived the next day and has remained. The Republicans sent an observer on Tuesday.
"They watch, observe us processing provisional ballots" to ensure no election chicanery occurs, he said.
Observers are a relatively new development that came to prominence following the 2000 presidential election and the Florida recount. They have since become an increasingly permanent fixture at election boards around the country.
Booth speculated the state parties may have sent them because of the closeness of the state representative race, where Democratic challenger Nick Barborak defeated incumbent Republican Craig Newbold on election day, 22,064 to 21,681.
"I guess they want to have eyes and ears on the ground," he said of the political parties.
Despite the closeness of the race, it does not currently qualify for an automatic recount under Ohio law, which requires the margin to be less than 0.5 percent of the total. Based on election night totals only, Barborak won by 383, but the margin would have to be 219 to trigger an automatic recount.
The same goes for county recorder, where Republican Theresa Bosel won on election night by 484 over Democrat Brenda Dickey Myers, but the margin needed to be 211 for a recount.
Booth said as it stands none of the ballot issues appear to qualify for an automatic recount either, although that could change after they determine which provisional ballots can be counted. The closest of these is a liquor sale issue for the Glenmoor Marathon station in St. Clair Township, which was ahead by two votes on election night.
Booth said it has been his experience that provisional ballots generally follow the same voting pattern as election day, and if there any changes they are slight and usually only affect races where the margin is very slim.
He expects the provisional ballots process to continue over the next two weeks, with the elections board likely to meet Nov. 27 to certify the final results after a final county is performed once the provisional ballots have been added into the mix with those votes cast Nov. 6.

Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III is looking into the possibility that a man who pleaded guilty six years ago to a double murder on Buffalo's West Side was wrongfully convicted.
Sedita said he became aware of the possibility about a week ago, when he learned that federal authorities were charging three other men with the murders of Nelson and Miguel Camacho in 2004.
Josue D. Ortiz, the man originally convicted in the killings, has spent the past six years in prison.
"We have requested that the federal authorities and the U.S. Attorney's office turn over to us all information regarding their investigation and prosecution of this matter," Sedita told The Buffalo News.
Questions about Ortiz's role and the possibility that he was wrongfully convicted arose when a gang leader and two others were charged in those same killings this week.
Federal prosecutors have now accused 7th Street Gang leader Efrain "Cheko" Hidalgo, Misael "Bori" Montalvo and Brandon Jonas with killing the Camachos on the evening of Nov. 11, 2004 inside their Niagara Street apartment.
The defendants are accused of shooting Nelson, 36, and Miguel Camacho, 25, as part of a robbery attempt. All three, if convicted, could face the death penalty.
Sedita said he met Thursday with John R. Nuchereno, Ortiz's defense lawyer, and promised him the DA's office will investigate the possibility that his client is innocent.
"I have told Mr. Nuchereno that we will provide any and all information which tends to exonerate or tends to benefit Mr. Ortiz," he said.
Sedita stopped well short of declaring Ortiz innocent of the murders and admitted he was perplexed by the fact that Ortiz accepted a plea deal in 2006.
"This was not a trial verdict," he said. "Mr. Ortiz confessed to this crime and admitted under oath to committing this crime."
The new federal indictment accuses Hidalgo, Montalvo and Jonas of murder but makes no mention of Ortiz.
Nuchereno, who declined to comment on the case this week, advised Ortiz not to take the plea deal in 2006 and told the judge in the case that his client had been "coached" by another inmate at the Erie County Holding Center.
When Ortiz later tried to withdraw his plea, Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico rejected his request and sentenced him to a maximum of 25 years in prison.
The charges against Hidalgo, Montalvo and Jonas also may fit with what family and friends suspect was a motive for the killings – robbery.
They told police about a rumor that Nelson Camacho had won $65,000 in the lottery when he had won only $200.
Neighbors also told police that they saw three people, not one, fleeing the scene after shots were fired.
Hidalgo, a leader of the 7th Street Gang, has been in custody since his arrest last year in Puerto Rico, where FBI agents believe he fled shortly after charges were filed against him in a different murder case.
FBI agents claim he and three others killed Eric Morrow, a 21-year old member of the rival 10th Street Gang, in 2009.

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart on 25 September 2016 Issued at 11:00 pm EST Sunday on 25 September 2016 Some low level cloud can be seen along the NSW coastal region and parts of Victoria associated with the airmass in the wake of a cold front that has now moved into the Tasman Sea. A second weaker cold front extends a patchy cloud band over the Great Australian Bight brushing the far west coast of SA. Remnant patchy cloud from afternoon isolated thunderstorm activity through the NT's Top End, triggered by an inland trough. Elsewhere a high pressure system centred over central Australia keeps the remainder of the continent relatively cloud free.

LIMA, Peru � It was the golden age of radio and World War II still raged when Maruja Venegas began broadcasting a show for Peru�s children.
Sixty-eight years later, her �Radio Club Infantil� is still on the air, making the 97-year-old Venegas the globe�s longest-running radio personality, according to Guinness World Records.
�The children of yesterday are all grown now. They�ve married. They are grandparents today. So it�s them, the grandparents, who support me most,� she told The Associated Press in an interview in her home in a middle-class district of the capital.
�A lot of grandparents sit their grandchildren down to listen to the program,� she said, stooped by age but still elegant with earrings and a camel-colored coat.
Venegas was a popular announcer on music programs when she launched the show Dec. 18, 1944, at the request of government officials to entertain ailing children at a public hospital. The first commercial black-and-white television broadcasts were still more than a decade in the future for Peru. In the United States, �Fibber McGee and Molly� and �The Al Jolson Show� were going strong.
Venegas� show became so popular in the 1950s that it drew Peru�s top singers and performers. It had contests, helped make careers. Listeners persuaded her to open a school in 1956. But when the country fell on hard times in the late 1980s, Venegas was forced to close it.
The show went on, however, even if Venegas began doing it by telephone from home when she reached age 90, and the program that once aired twice a week is now down to a single half-hour slot at 6 p.m. Sundays, carried by Santa Rosa, a religion-oriented station. She still prepares her own programs, which always include a story, music and commentary.
And she does it without pay, as she always has through the decades.
�My mother told me that I should never charge for Radio Club Infantil because it was for children and for the ill,� Venegas said.
She could have used the money.
Venegas, who never married, has limited funds and like most people her age, physical limitations to address.
She says she suffers from diabetes.
�I�ve lost eyesight. I can only see through one eye,� she said. �But I remain optimistic.�
She lives alone on an $870 a month pension that is not sufficient to support her and the 89-year-old sister with whom she lives. In order to pay the two people who care for them, she had to sell the second floor of her house.
Now, she�s thinking of selling part of the first floor.

quote CodyIdk... Was gotenks lying?oh I just saw gotenks posting that for the first time. I'm a little confused..
idk why he said he banned me? cause he didn't? so was he just lying to look cool?
and if anyone believed him lol obviously that wouldn't be true cuz I didn't do anything breaking the neo rules.
I left for a year and a half because I felt the only two forums on neo that were relevant to me were full of toxic/immature members. most were like 12 anyway. and the fact that neo is a generalist game site makes it inherently more common to find "for fun" gamers who play 1000 games than "for real" gamers who do 1 or 2 very well. so I focused on brawl and spent more time on swf/aib.
