Raising Aces
A Closer Look at Relievers
Relief pitchers have been in vogue lately, whether carving out air time on TINSTAAPP or funking up Raising Aces. The RP-Funk All-Stars may have all hailed from the senior circuit, but some of the most impressive performances of the season have come from the American League. Ninth-inning relievers have been dominating hitters and shortening games all across the AL, as no fewer than five different closers entered Thursday's action with an ERA under 2.00. Although he falls just short of inclusion to that particular club this season, we start the show with none other than the greatest stopper of all time.
(all stats through 8/28/13, PITCHf/x stats are courtesy of BrooksBaseball.net)
Mariano Rivera
The 2.20 ERA is excellent, sitting more than 80 percent better than league average, but what is even more incredible is the fact that it is his highest mark of the past six seasons. Mo has posted a sub-3.00 ERA in 17 of his 19 big-league seasons, and finished under the 2.00 mark in eight of the last 11 campaigns. He has been more hittable this season, leading to his highest WHIP since 1997, but 2013 has otherwise been par for the course for a pitcher whose career K-to-walk ratio is better than four-to-one.

This year we are excited to welcome Father William Leahy, who will be delivering the keynote speech at our annual Fundraising Breakfast.
Born in Omaha, he grew up on his family's farm in Iowa. After a year of study at Creighton University, he entered the Wisconsin Province of the Society of Jesus in 1967. He received a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a master's degree in United States history from Saint Louis University in 1972 and 1975, respectively. He studied theology at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California, earning a master's degree in divinity and a master's degree in sacred theology. He was ordained in 1978 and completed doctoral studies in United States history at Stanford University in 1985.
Father Leahy joined the department of history at Marquette University in 1985, and in July 1991, he was named executive vice president at Marquette, where he served until being named the 25th president of Boston College in 1996.
During his years at Boston College, Father Leahy has presided over an institution that has earned its place among the country's best and most selective national universities. Since 1996, the University's endowment has more than doubled to join the nation's largest; sponsored research grants have grown to $57 million annually; and student financial aid has risen to $163 million, with BC being one of only 21 private universities that is need blind in admissions and meets the full demonstrated need of its students. In addition, more than 100 full-time faculty members have been added, minority student enrollment has climbed eleven percent and annual cash gifts to the University have increased from $24 million to more than $100 million. Also during his presidency, undergraduate applications to Boston College have doubled, with the University attracting students from all 50 states and 80 countries. BC undergraduates have earned more than 300 prestigious fellowships over the past decade, including Rhodes, Marshall and Truman scholarships and Fulbright fellowships. BC also consistently posts among the NCAA's highest graduation rates.
Among his other accomplishments, Father Leahy is also the author of the book Adapting to America: Catholics, Jesuits, and Higher Education in the Twentieth Century.
In his keynote, Father Leahy will address topics such as the contributions of a Catholic university college in the context of a contemporary secular university, student life and leadership development, as well as shedding some light on the topics mission and endowment. During his keynote he will also provide a vision and some key strategies that he believes will aid in the next phase of growth for Saint Mark's College and Corpus Christi College.

Why Miniature Lamps Do Not Mean Miniature Benefits
Miniature lamps have become a very popular addition to homes when looking for style and a new concept to the existing lighting in the home. The correct lighting throughout the home is essential and will provide both function and style to every different area. Due to advances in technology the different lighting options are available in smaller unique designs.
When considering what lighting to have in your home you will need to decide several different factors. Including where to have the miniature lamps positioned, what their function is and how easy it is to find the miniature bulbs to fit. Although there are more shops and manufacturers of the miniature lamps, you have to consider the accessories for them.
If the miniature lamps are to be used as a functional purpose as well as a stylish accessory, you will need to consider the wattage of the bulbs. Although smaller lamps take up far less space, there is no need to compromise on quality. You can find some very affordable, stylish options in unique sizes to guarantee that you have a lamp for your room.
Choosing the right miniature bulbs is essential to complete the whole look and feel in the room. Although they are smaller, they can still provide enough light for you to work, read, or relax within the room. When you combine the correct bulb with the ideal miniature lamps and surrounding decor, you will create the perfect ambience. At one time, big was always seen as beautiful, however, small is becoming the better feature to have.
Finding the ideal place to position the miniature lamps is essential to ensure that it can be used easily and provide the adequate lighting for your needs. If the lighting in your home is positioned correctly, it can make the whole room look and feel very different. The color that you choose for the miniature lamps will also make a difference to the light that is produced and feeling that is created. Every element of the lighting in your home plays a part in the overall ambience that is created.
If you have space issues or are looking for lamps that are ideal for night reading alternatives, the miniature lamps are perfect. This style of lamp takes up very little space and is incredibly lightweight making them ideal to move around the house if needed. Although there are some great, affordable options for you to choose, if you want to spend more there are very stylish miniature lamps to choose.

Vinny DiTrani's NFL picks
Only a late field goal in Atlanta and a suddenly statuesque RGIII in Washington kept us from sweeping last week's card. Favorites ruled the schedule, which was bad news for the boys in Vegas.
Now we need to stay on a roll in an uninspiring slate of games once again featuring just a handful of intriguing underdogs.
Game of the week
*Bears over Texans, giving 1 — The 7-1 teams are tied for the second best record in the league behind the unbeaten Falcons. The Chicago defense at Soldier Field gives the Bears the edge Sunday night.
Worth watching
*Bengals over Giants, getting 4 — Luckily for the Giants, next week's bye eliminates a November Sunday from their schedule.
*Seahawks over Jets, giving 6 — It's a long way to go for the Jets to continue their disappointing season.
*Saints over Falcons, getting 2 1/2 — Atlanta has to lose sometime. Even though New Orleans plays little defense, this looks like a good spot for the Falcons' first loss.
Cowboys over *Eagles, getting 1 1/2 — The loser here becomes the No. 1 projected landing spot for Sean Payton if he leaves New Orleans.
Broncos over Panthers, giving 4 — John Fox returns to his old haunts in this matchup of Peyton Manning vs. Cam Newton.
*Bucs over Chargers, giving 3 — Tampa Bay, with rookie RB Doug Martin, has been playing well. San Diego isn't playing Kansas City this week.
Lions over *Vikings, giving 2 — Two teams headed in opposite directions. Detroit has found a running game while Minnesota will be without Percy Harvin.
*Patriots over Bills, giving 11 — New England is getting on its roll.
*Ravens over Raiders, giving 7 1/2 — Remember, Oakland doesn't play well on the East Coast — or the West Coast or in between, for that matter.
*49ers over Rams, giving 11 1/2 — San Francisco needs to keep winning to stay ahead of surprising Seattle.
*Steelers over Chiefs, giving 12 1/2 — When was the last time a coach fired himself like Kansas City head coach Romeo Crennel did to former K.C. defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel?
Yawner of the week
Titans over *Dolphins, getting 6 — How can Miami take seriously a team that was completely mashed by Chicago last week?
*Home team

Brian Tipmore and his family visited the indoor pool at the Plainfield Recreation and Aquatic Center in March 2008. He didn't know that nearly five years later he would be settling a court case with the town.
Tipmore was in the indoor "kiddie" pool area on March 21, 2008, where the depth of the water was only several inches. He crossed a wall, not realizing the depth of the pool on the other side was about 4-feet deep, said his attorney James Ludlow.
Ludlow helped Tipmore build a case for negligence against the Town of Plainfield.
"Our allegation of negligence was that it was not apparent to patrons of the pool that there was a significant difference in depth between these two areas, thereby causing an unreasonable risk of injury if someone attempted to step across this dividing wall as Mr. Tipmore did," Ludlow explained. "While of course accidents can happen, even with the best of care, what I found disturbing regarding this case was that there were two prior injuries that had occurred when someone attempted to step over the narrow wall ... and yet no corrective action had been taken by the aquatic center to investigate these incidents and take corrective action — until a lawsuit was filed in Mr. Tipmore's case."
Tipmore sustained a straddle-type injury that damaged the urethra and had to have surgeries to reconstruct the affected area.
"He will always have some residual problems," Ludlow said. "He can still be active without pain but has to be very careful. He will never again be able to ride a bicycle or horse, considering this type of injury."
He said he wanted the case to come to light because it's a public safety issue.
"I hope this makes the pool safer," he said. "I've been told that they have put up a rope barrier. We found out there were two people we know of injured prior to Mr. Tipmore but they never made a claim. Maybe if they had made claims, the aquatic center would have taken action. I wish they would have taken those injuries more seriously."
Tipmore and his wife, Jeanette, brought a case against the Town of Plainfield on Oct. 15, 2009. It was settled earlier this year and the couple received $122,500 to help with medical bills.
The town's insurance company, Houston Casualty Company, hired its own council. The attorney representing the insurance company is Matthew Hinkle. Attemps were made to contact Hinkle for comment on this article, but he did not return calls to the Hendricks County Flyer.

Some college students can't go home over Thanksgiving break. Others don't want to. Regardless of your reason, spending Thanksgiving at school doesn't have to be a bummer. These 10 ways to spend Thanksgiving on campus can help turn a potentially lame weekend into a fantastic one.
10 Ways to Spend Thanksgiving on Campus
1. Catch up on sleep. Your roommate is probably gone. The residence halls are quiet. There aren't any classes. Make the most of the peace and quiet and catch up on some long-overdue zzzzzs!
2. Relax in the quiet. Once you're caught up on sleep, take some time to enjoy the quiet. And if you're really feeling wild, go read something just for pleasure in a place that usually serves as a homework study spot.
3. Catch up on laundry. Okay, fair enough, this isn't sexy or exciting. But how awesome will it feel to have all your clothes clean, put away, and ready to go once the weekend concludes? Added bonus: You probably won't have to wait for a washer or dryer since most people have left campus.
4. Meet new people. Chances are that there are not that many people on campus over Thanksgiving break. So try talking to someone new you see in the dining hall or even in your residence hall.
5. Clean your room. Similar to laundry, it sounds like a lame way to spend your break. But you do have four free days and a messy room. Cleaning your room? Lame. Having a clean room? Awesome. And, since no one else is really around, feel free to crank your music up and rock out while picking up.
6. Get ahead on your homework. Take a look at the next few weeks in your classes and what's due at the end of the semester: It's probably not pretty. Do what you can to get ahead so that the time between Thanksgiving and the end of the semester doesn't turn into four weeks of torture.
7. Book your holiday/vacation plans home. If you can't make it home for Thanksgiving, maybe you can make it home for the winter holidays. And if you don't want to go home, now can be a great time to make alternative arrangements.
8. Do something creative and fun. Many college students are so overloaded with homework and other responsibilities that they don't have time to be creative. Paint a new painting for your room, make something out of clay, or even begin making holiday gifts with some of the time you'll have on your hands over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
9. Volunteer. True, you may not be super happy with being on campus over Thanksgiving. But at least you have shelter, access to food, and a community to support you. Consider giving back by volunteering on Thanksgiving.
10. Leave campus for a day. When's the last time you left campus and hung out at a museum? Went to the beach? Went skiing? Went hiking? Went to a movie or did some shopping? Get yourself off campus and enjoy the break, both physical and mental, from the daily grind of campus life.

Typical Tommy Bahama Quality. GREAT! I ordered this while I was in Afghanistan for my wife for Mothers Day. She loved it. Cant wait to get home to actually see it. June 6, 2014
Beautiful shirt, beautiful color This shirt just screams summer to me! Bought in the blue, and it looks great with a tan and white pants. Cut just generously enough, but still gives you a bit of a figure. I am 5'5" with a curvy figure, wear a size L top and 14 pants. Bought it in a L and it was perfect. The only drawback is that the linen does wrinkle, but that is just the look of linen. May 31, 2014
beautiful top I bought this in the turquoise color and am very happy with it. The color is beautiful. The length is a bit on the long side but it works well with a skinny jean. May 23, 2014

Lovely Tunic Love this tunic from the moment I put it on. Nice to wear for any occasion, just beautiful. April 26, 2014

The Rock Hill school districts digital education initiative, iRock, will cost more than $9 million over the next two years, say district officials.
The total could be more as the district annually issues technology bonds of about $2.5 million. The technology improvements are not necessarily related to iRock, but upgrades will allow school and teachers to better use and manage the iRock initiative.
First-year costs include buying more than 7,600 iPad 2 computer tablets, teaching the teachers how to use technology, adding technical support staff and improving the technology networks at the schools for about $4.85 million.
Second-year costs are about $4.49 million.
Officials stress that the iRock initiative is not about the computer, but a way to change the way students learn and how teachers teach. The goal is creating a collaborative classroom environment.
The vision is that students can learn anywhere, anytime, Superintendent Lynn Moody said. Learning will come from interaction with a teacher or fellow students, she said. Sometimes, the students will be teaching the teachers, she said.
Other schools have similar initiatives. Whats different for Rock Hill, said Luanne Kokolis, associate superintendent for student services, human resources and technology, is the district is trying to level the playing field by giving universal iPad access to students at a low cost. Next school year, every student in grades four through eight will get an iPad2.
So far, Rock Hill schools are making the changes without raising taxes. The district is spreading out the cost by using bonds to purchase computers and make technology upgrades. The bonds for the iPads will be paid out over three years.
Some of the funding has come from the districts reserves.
The biggest expense comes this summer, $3.1 million to buy 7,600 iPad2 tablets and $350,000 to buy protective cases.
Some iPads will be assigned to the districts three high schools. Elementary schools will be allotted iPads for other grades. In most cases, these iPads will remain at the schools.
Ninth-graders at South Pointe High School will get an iPad2. Each high school is determining how best to use the iPads allocated to them.
Students who pay a $65 protection fee in grades four through eight, as well as South Pointe freshmen, will be allowed to take their iPads home.
Technology upgrades
When school starts Aug. 15, district officials expect to have about $1.5 million in technology upgrades to be finished at the schools. The upgrades are needed to accommodate more students and teachers using the computer networks.
Another summer expense will be about $150,000 in training for teachers on how to effectively use technology in their classrooms. The district, in small chunks, has been introducing technology into the classroom for the past several years. The district has gradually increased the number of tablets in the classrooms, and in some cases parents have purchased the iPads for their children for school use.
Before this year, the district has spent $1.4 million to purchase about 2,800 iPads.
Annual iRock expenses in the budget for the fall include $750,000 to pay for 12 new staff members two specialists to help teachers, 10 information technology personnel to keep the iPads working and two clerical workers, plus $500,000 to repair broken iPads.
The districts technology bond issue also includes $800,000 to purchase 500 MacBook Pro computers for teachers. The MacBook Pros will replace teachers current laptops. The districts goal is to furnish a MacBook Pro to each of its 1,340 teachers.
The district plans to gradually replace its current teacher laptops. Next years proposed technology bond includes funds to buy another 500 MacBook Pros.
At a recent school board meeting, board chairman Jim Vining questioned whether the district should accelerate that timetable given the number of students who will have iPads.
Joel Whitesides, who leads the districts technology efforts, said the MacBook Pro has capabilities that allow it to effectively manage a number of iPads. Programs such as Air Drop allow for the transfer of files between Apple devices without using Wi-Fi. Air Play allows the wireless streaming of audio, video and photos. There is iBook, a tool that would allow teachers to write lesson plans and share them with anyone using an iPad.
Whitesides said the districts current HP laptop computers will allow teachers to manage their classroom iPads, but not necessarily with the options available on the MacBook Pro. He said the district would have changed to the MacBook Pro regardless of whether it adopted iRock.
Learning management
Also up for discussion is a learning management system for shared content and to monitor student performance, allowing teachers and administrators to access academic progress. The system could be accessible to parents and students.
Moody said a learning management system is needed with or without iRock. The system, depending on how sophisticated it is, can help teachers and administrators better manage the schools iPad universe.
In iRocks second year of operations, expenses are projected to drop slightly because the number of iPads purchased will decrease. School officials estimate they will need about $2.45 million to buy 5,000 iPad2s for high school and other elementary grades.
Professional development and staffing costs specific to iRock are anticipated to remain the same in year two. Repair costs are expected to more than double to $980,000.
That years technology bond is anticipated to have money set aside to buy more MacBook Pros for teachers, as well as replacing other computers.
No savings from iPads have been budgeted for the first few years. Over time the school district should see savings in electricity costs and paper expenses, said Tony Cox, associate superintendent for finance.

Public ceremony to mark opening of trail's overpass
Date: November 3, 2011
by: Rachel Brown Hackney | Managing Editor
At 9 a.m. Saturday, at the Venice Train Depot in Venice. Sarasota County officals will gather with other community representatives — and, undoubtedly, more than a few cyclists — to celebrate the opening of the Legacy Trail pedestrian overpass.
The event will be held at 303 E. Venice Ave.
Then, everyone will head out to the overpass itself for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The construction of the overpass, which connects the Legacy Trail on the north and south sides of the U.S. 41 Bypass, began in late fall 2010. The bridge provides a 12-foot-wide path over the road, with access to and from the existing sidewalks along the bypass. The overpass is about 900 feet long.
The $3.1 million project was handled by ZEP Construction Inc. of Fort Myers.

Uncle Monty's Best Bitter - Granville Island Brewery

Alberta (Canada)
3.83/5 rDev +6.7%
650ml bottle. A low-ABV, English pub-style bitter, apparently straight from the notebook of GIB's brewmaster - aren't all of any brewery's products produced in this way?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of densely puffy, caked ecru head, which leaves a thick band of limestone cliff lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly abates.
It smells of prominent citrus rind - grapefruit and mandarin orange - musty pine needle, crisp biscuity, somewhat meaty pale malt, and a further neutered lemon fruitiness. The taste is more musty orange and stale grapefruit peel, a slightly gamey yeastiness, mild pale malt, fairly stripped of its heretofore promising biscuity character, but with a lightly burgeoning caramel twinge, and further tame grassy, wet piney notes.
The carbonation is generally quite soft, no grandiose sweeps here, the body medium-light in weight, with enough hoppy prickliness to take a big chunk out of the smoothness, just like a big-boy beer! It finishes slightly off-dry, the malt straining to keep up, a sort of unnecessary gesture in the face of the waning nature of the hops.
A decently flavourful best bitter, the well-lowered alcohol not really missed here, as the malt and hops have much to say in their normal ally's absence. Adequately positioned as a pub sessioner, that's for certain, but somehow I don't see Molson/Granville having the brains to get that done anytime soon.

A - clear deep cooper, thumb of off white head held its own nicely with some decent lacing
S - big hit of pink grapefruit and mandarin citrus, light peppery notes create some contrast
T - same citrus notes as the nose are more in check and balanced with some peppery and earthy notes, rye like grainy malt backbone
M - relatively light and bubbly, easy drinking however the bitterness is lacking on the feel
O - a tasty and well balance bitter, the lower alcohol goes unnoticed, I generally prefer a little more bite in my bitters, but this is a nice easy sipper with the flavour of a bigger brew

T-not quite 'ESB' quality , butt a smooth start , with a lingering bitter finish
MF-ok/medium carbonation , weak medium body , my mouth is really dry as the contents of the bottle are dissappearing/consumed

3.03/5 rDev -15.6%
Passed over the bottle several times but figured I'd snag this on tap as part of a flight. Dude on the label (Monty) looks like a psychotic old guy who looks at too much internet porn but that's neither here nor there. The beer itself did not look too shabby, dark amber/brown with mocha head. Aroma was fruity and sweet, minimal malt. Others taste citrus in this but I struggled to do so. Got lots of strawberry/bramble fruit, little nuttiness. The alcohol was well concealed but there was only fruit and almost no malt or nuts which ought to show up in a bitter. I echo other reviewers in noticing a thin body. Mouthfeel a little cream ale like. Low ABV suggests a mild rather than a brown. Honestly a bit insipid. Might try again and will revise review accordingly if needed.

Pours a clear (but not crystal) dark amber with a finger of off-white head, decent retention. Aroma is big on grapefruit, if I didn't know any better I would think I was smelling a bowl of grapefruit. A couple other citrus notes take a back seat and a faint caramel malt pokes through. Taste follows with big citrus and faint malt. Very thin in mouthfeel, but bitter.
Overall I liked the appearance and smell, but it fell flat otherwise. The beer was thin and didn't have the body of an English Bitter (I blame the use of BC pale malt). Definitely did not remind me of my boisterous English uncle. Just because it's a session beer doesn't mean it shouldn't have some body.

Florida Marlins ace Josh Johnson was supposed to miss two starts while on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. Then it was three starts. Then it was four starts. Then it was more starts. Before long, Johnson was considered out until July, and moved from the 15-day to the 60-day DL.
On Wednesday, a rehabbing Johnson had his shoulder examined just to make sure everything was peaches. It was examined by Dr. James Andrews, which is always a scary thing to hear, but the visit was considered precautionary, and the news is good:
Josh Johnson just got out his appointment with Dr. James Andews in the last half hour and the news was better than expected.
An MRI and examination found no structural damage in Johnson's right shoulder. He will not resume his throwing program for at least 10 days.
So everything is all right in there. Johnson received a cortisone shot and will take a week and a half of rest, but after that he should get back to working out and stands a chance of returning to the Marlins in late July, although early August might be more likely. He's well beyond his initial timetable now, but the important thing is that he's not dealing with anything major.
When he comes back, Johnson will be pitching for pride, as the Marlins are currently 2-77, and 47.5 games out of first in the NL East.

Some Douglas Middle School artists took a rather unusual field trip to one Rapid City landmark.
Art Alley in Downtown Rapid City played host to a rather unique art lesson on graffiti.
It was all part of exposing the students to the different kinds of artwork by Native American artists.
Local graffiti artist Derek Smith has painted several pieces featured in the alley & spoke about how trying new things often opens young artists up to new ways to express themselves, "There was once upon a time where I was where they are & if somebody wouldn't have helped me when I was where they are now, I couldn't be where I am in my artwork. I couldn't have progressed or have grown as much."
Although it is considered illegal without permission in most areas of the city, the controversial medium has found a home free of prosecution in the space between 6th and 7th streets.

The Proposal
After reading your proposal, the committee should have a clear understanding of your goals, your seriousness as an applicant, and your personality. In addition, your proposal should reflect an understanding of the nature and the goals of the fellowship. Therefore, unique proposals should be written for each different fellowship.
Brief proposals are encouraged, if not required. Two written pages, perhaps three, is the usual length. Plan and outline what you want to say and how you want to say it before you write. Your proposal should be feasible (specific and attainable). If your imagination has built a castle in the sky, modify your goals. An unrealistic proposal will not persuade the selection committee. Ask a faculty member, academic advisor, dean or a Career Resource Center counselor to critique your proposal. And remember: no typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, or incorrect punctuation.
A Proposal for Study should include:
- The university or institution at which you plan to study. Wesleyan faculty members can provide information on other universities. The International version of the college catalogs is on microfilm. Also, Olin Library has graduate school catalogs for the U.S. and Canada on microfilm.
- The area of study and/or program you want to pursue.
- Why you want to study this field or topic (independently or at a particular university).
- The relationship between your present studies and what you propose to study. If there is none, explain why you want to pursue this new area.
- Personal thoughts: What do you want to gain from your studies? Is there anything special about you that the committee should know?
A Proposal for Travel should include:
- Where you want to travel.
- The reason you want to travel or live in the particular place.
- The relationship that exists between your present or past study, work, or interests and your proposal.
- Personal thoughts: What do you want to gain from your travel? Is there any special connection between you and your travel plans that the committee should know?

SALEM — A few years ago, Detective Sgt. Jim Page started going through some old black and white photos at the police station that date as far back as the 1950s.
He started noticing a few things.
"The gentlemen were very dapper," Page said. "Ladies were all dressed up, and gentlemen had suits and hats. ... There were buildings that are no longer there. And it was fun to look at some of the cars — back when cars were cars."
So Page started scanning the old photos and posting them online. Now they're available on the Police Department's Web site — www.salempd.org.
Most of them are old police photos of minor car accidents in the downtown, along Highland Avenue or in other high-profile spots around the city.
One photo from March 1957 shows a side-swiped '50s-era Chevy in the old Bridge/Washington street roundabout with signs for Salem Bowling and the A&P supermarket in the background. An August 1961 photo shows an overturned car underneath a billboard for Flit Roach and Ant Killer ("Kills insects fast! Bug-proofs for weeks").
"They're not there for the shock value," Page said. "I just like to remember Salem the way it was."
Page has also posted old Salem News police photos, including a shot from the 1980s of former Mayor Tony Salvo and Chief Robert St. Pierre posing in front of what looks like an "A-Team"-style police van. Another '80s picture shows current Chief Paul Tucker holding what appears to be a pump-action shotgun seized as evidence.
Page said he scanned in the old photos as a hobby during his free time at home or on weekends.
"Sometimes people will find stuff and give it to me — a retired police officer or the family of one of them — and I'll scan them in," Page said.
In the late 1970s, a flood at the old police station on Central Street destroyed a lot of old police photo equipment, negatives and prints.
Now, the surviving photos are immortalized on the Internet.
"It's just something I thought would be interesting to people that come to our Web site," Page said.

The antics of groups like Anonymous and LulzSec over the past few months have made data breaches seem inevitable. If information security vendors like HBGary and RSA Security aren't safe, what hope does an average SMB have? It is true that there is no silver bullet, and no impervious network security, but there are a variety of things IT admins can do to prevent network breaches and protect data and privacy better.
The Web safety and online identity protection experts at SafetyWeb.com and myID.com helped put together a list of 10 different data and privacy breach scenarios, along with suggestions and best practices to avoid them.
[ InfoWorld's Robert Lemos warns of the dangers of recycling passwords but says don't blame users for dumb passwords. | Prevent corporate data leaks with Roger Grimes' "Data Loss Prevention Deep Dive" PDF expert guide, only from InfoWorld. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
1. Data breach resulting from poor networking choices. Names like Cisco and Sun are synonymous with enterprise-level networking technologies used in large IT departments around the world. Small or medium businesses, however, generally lack the budget necessary for equipment like that. If an SMB has a network infrastructures at all, it may be built around networking hardware designed for consumer use. Some may forego the use of routers at all, plugging directly into the Internet. Business owners can improve network security and block most threats by using a quality router, like a Netgear or Buffalo brand router and making sure to change the router password from the default.
2. Data breach resulting from improper shredding practices. Dumpster diving identity thieves target businesses that throw out paperwork without shredding it. Most home shredders will suffice for small businesses in a pinch, but a commercial shredder is a wise investment if private information is printed and shredded daily. Make sure that documents with sensitive information or personally identifiable data are thoroughly shredded before disposal.
3. Tax records theft around tax time. On a similar note, businesses need to pay extra attention to incoming and outgoing information related to taxes. Businesses must ensure that tax returns are dropped off at the post office and refunds are collected promptly from the mailbox. Identity thieves often steal tax returns from an outbox or mailbox.

Remember the Grindhouse?
Playoff intro blog post. I'm going to hopefully get some more analysis on the players but this is an exciting time so get amped. This could be a 7 game series easily as grizz and spurs have split the season series 2-2 each winning on the home floor without key players in all 4 games.... History won't be repeated though like 2004... never forget!

Second are cuts to private health insurance plans, known as Medicare Advantage plans, that cover Medicare patients. The federal government has, in recent years, paid these private plans more to cover Medicare beneficiaries than it has spent on seniors who sign up for the traditional public program. The health law aims to reduce those differences by cutting Medicare Advantage payments.
Lastly, the law includes new taxes on a number of health-care industries, including hospitals, medical-device makers, insurers and pharmaceutical companies.

Year in review: August 2012, 'Baugh wins tough primary'
Date: December 29, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
Click here to view the Manatee County Primary Election results.
Click here to view the Sarasota County Primary Election results.
MANATEE COUNTY — Following a highly contentious race for the Manatee County Board of County Commissioners District 5 seat, Republican Vanessa Baugh has emerged as the top candidate for the party, beating out John Colon by 997 votes during Tuesday's primary election.
Baugh, who garnered 57.86% of the vote between Republican candidates, now will face Democrat James T. Golden, who beat out fellow Democrat Frank Archino, in November's General Election.
"I can't do anything but smile," said Baugh, as she visited with friends and supporters at The Ranch Grill on election night. "I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I dreamt of this night so many times. I'm overwhelmed and I'm honored."
Baugh thanked her friends, supporters and family for their help with her campaign, and said it was time to prepare for the months ahead.
"We need to start looking forward to November and start working for the people of Manatee County," Baugh said. "We're only halfway."
Colon, who had been heavily endorsed by outgoing Manatee County Commissioner Donna Hayes, said despite his loss, he will continue being active in the local and national Republican Party.
"I go back to work," he said. "I (wasn't) running for this to have a job; I was running for this to help the county."
In another hotly contested race, that of Supervisor of Elections, Republican Sen. Mike Bennett secured 36.75% of the vote, beating out fellow Republican hopefuls Ed Bailey (29.07%), Jane Von Hahmann (26.77%) and Richard Bedford (7.39%). Bennett, who has served as senator for Florida's District 21 since 2002, now will face Democratic contender Charles Williams Jr. and write-in candidate Rodney Smithley, in November.
In the race for Manatee County Sheriff, incumbent Brad Steube retained his post, garnering 78.33% of the vote compared with the 21.66% earned by his challenger, Republican Bill Waldron.
"I believe (this win) shows (the public) has confidence in what we're doing at the sheriff's office," Steube said, adding crime is down 30% since he became sheriff. "I have less money. I have less people. And yet, we've been able to keep crime down."
For the Manatee County District 7 At-Large seat, former Manatee County planner Betsy Benac ousted longtime County Commissioner Joe McClash for the Republican ticket, winning the primary by just 494 votes, or 50.97% compared with 49.02%. Benac now will face write-in candidate Thomas Dell in November.
Two Manatee County School Board seats were also up for grabs. In District 4, incumbent Bob Gause retained his seat, with 22,325 votes or 56.30% of the vote. His challenger, Linda Schaich, garnered 17,322 votes, or 43.69%.
The fight for the District 2 seat will continue, for no candidate earned more than 50% of the vote. The top two contenders — Dave Miner and Robert Moates — will advance to the General Election. In Tuesday's contest, Miner solicited 48.53% and Moates solicited 30.91% of the vote, compared to their fellow candidates, William Chaltis (9.44%) and Paul Sharff (11.1%).
Additionally, although Ed Brodsky beat Peter Lombardo in Manatee and Sarasota counties in the State Attorney 12th Judicial Circuit race, results for Desoto County were not finalized as of press time. The winner in the primary will face Democrat John Torraco in November.
