Unsolicited Email Spam Information
Last Updated: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 > Related Articles
Learn more about how Cox manages unwanted spam and ways you can help.
No one likes to receive unsolicited email spam. The increase in spam has caused legitimate Internet users and Internet service providers, like Cox, to spend a great deal of time, money and good will addressing the problem. In addition, a number of state legislatures and Congress are trying to stop spamming through legislation.
Cox does not provide its customers' email addresses to spammers and does not permit its customers to send unsolicited mass emails. Cox Communications has a variety of measures in place to help protect our Cox High Speed Internet customers and our network from spam, and we continue to look for ways to improve our services through the control and elimination of spam.
There are things you, as a customer, can do to understand the problem and help to solve it. Following these tips can help reduce the problem for you.
Methods for Controlling Incoming Spam
- Newsgroups and message boards: If you post to newsgroups or message boards, you can change your From email address by adding spaces or characters to deter spammers from harvesting it from such locations. If your email address is in your email signature, you can eliminate it or us the same technique.
- Online directories: You can also remove your name from major online directories.
- Unsubscribe links: You should never respond to the Unsubscribe link in any unsolicited email, as doing so can prompt even more mail from the source.
- Report unsolicited email: If you receive an unsolicited commercial email, you may report it to the sender's ISP. In order to do this you must 1) view the complete message header for the spam message to identify the source network, and then 2) send a report to the network's administrator.
Cox has been successful at identifying addresses of known spammers and adding them to our own black lists. This is just one step in our investigation of network-based anti-spam solutions that will integrate with our email platform. This will allow us to recognize and block spam from known spammers using rules-based methods and also white or black lists.
Methods for Controlling Outgoing Spam
The below information is found in Cox's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), expressly prohibiting the use of the Cox High Speed Internet connection to generate spam. The accounts of customers who violate Cox's anti-spam policy may be suspended or terminated:
You may not use the Service to send unsolicited bulk or commercial email messages ("spam"). Any unsolicited email must also not direct the recipient to any web site or other resource that uses the service. The Service may not be used to collect responses from unsolicited email sent from accounts on other Internet hosts or email services that violates this Policy or the acceptable use policy of any other Internet service provider. In addition, "mail bombing,"which is the sending of numerous copies of the same or substantially similar messages, or very large messages or files with the intent to disrupt a server or account, is prohibited.
To reduce unsolicited bulk email sent on our Cox High Speed Internet network, Cox instituted outbound SMTP traffic filtering, or port 25 filtering. Currently Cox also filters all inbound SMTP traffic in an effort to protect unsecured computers on the network from being used as mail relay by potential spammers.
- The outbound SMTP traffic blocking security measure is designed to protect Internet users and the Cox High Speed Internet network. The vast majority of customers are not affected by this practice in any way. However, a small number of customers who use email addresses outside of the @cox.net domain and who do not currently have their SMTP servers set for Cox mail servers do need to change their settings. The requirement that Cox servers be used for all outgoing mail is simply so that Cox can observe and control spammers by removing them from the network.
- Outbound SMTP traffic blocking is an industry standard. Other ISPs who block port 25 include such companies as Bellsouth, Verizon, Verio, and MSN. You can search the Internet to find a list of ISPs that block port 25.
- Since the implementation of the port 25 blocking procedure, Cox has seen significant reduction in residential Cox High Speed Internet complaint counts for different abuse types impacted by the port 25 blocking. Port scanning complaints decreased by 36%, virus complaints by 41%, spam complaints by 52%, and open proxy by more than 78%.
- Port 25 blocking also helped to control the impact viruses that have polluted the network by preventing their spread via email routing through port 25.
Frequently Asked Questions
The filter of port 25 does not impact the vast majority of Cox customers, only the small percentage of customers who use third party mail servers. Any software configured to use an SMTP server other than smtp.*.cox.net to deliver email directly to a recipient's server will not work. An indication of this problem may be a message similar to this in the customer's mail client.
"A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account: 'otheraccount.othersisp.com', Server: 'othersmtp.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port 25, Secure (SSL): No, error Number: 0x800CCC19."
Customers using third party email services must configure their email clients to use smtp.*.cox.net to send outbound email. Remember that operating an email or other server on a residential Cox High Speed Internet connection is a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.
The CAN-Spam Act, was effective beginning on January 1, 2004. It preempts all State spam statutes and places a series of requirements on commercial email, "the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service." The act requires companies that send or initiate commercial email to:
- Refrain from using a misleading subject heading
- Provide in each message a valid return email or Internet-based reply address
- Provide in each message a physical postal address in the text
- Provide a conspicuous notice that it is an advertisement or solicitation
- Include a notice explaining how recipients can prevent the transmission of future messages by using the sender's return email address or Internet-based reply address and honoring such requests within 10 days
- Refrain from selling or exchanging the email address of any recipient who has made an opt-out request
Businesses are permitted to send "transactional or relationship messages to facilitate, complete, or confirm a commercial transaction that the recipient has previously agreed to enter into." This is intended to be a very narrow exception and would include warranty, recall, safety, or security information regarding a product previously purchased, periodic account statements and the like. "Transactional or relationship" messages may also contain content promoting a product or service unrelated to a previous transaction if ancillary to the primary purpose of the communication.
A safe harbor exists for companies that have reasonable compliance practices and make good faith compliance efforts. The Act also requires the FTC to study the creation of a nationwide Do Not Email registry similar to its Do Not Call list.

How an infectious disease is treated depends on the microbe that caused it and sometimes on the age and medical condition of the person affected. Certain diseases are not treated at all, but are allowed to run their course, with the immune system doing its job alone. Some diseases, such as the common cold, are treated only to relieve the symptoms. Others, such as strep throat, are treated to destroy the offending microbe as well as to relieve symptoms.

2.1.0 forum reaction: Paladins and rogues {WoW}
Apr 16th 2007 1:38PM Blizzard has said they intended rogues to be the top damage in the game. Most good rogues were already at the top, now were just going to smoke the dps competition in raids by a mile and there will be no question, even for crap rogues to be top dps.
PTR notes: Welcome to Ogri'la {WoW}
Apr 16th 2007 9:35AM I did the 5 man quests to kill the sons of gruul with 4 other guildies. I don't know if it's bugged or not, but what the quests asks you to do is kill the sons; after you kill each son the spawn a big clickable skull you loot to pick up your quest reward. We killed one on our own then headed to the place above shattrath for our next mob. There was a group already there killing the mob so my group was hanging out waiting to tag the next respawn. When the other group killed him, he spawned the skull and everyone could loot it, even my group. If it stays like that it shouldn't be too hard to complete the quest line at the beginning, especially with a high pop server.
Breakfast topic: How close are you to your friends in-game? {WoW}
Apr 16th 2007 9:29AM My raiding guild goes by a first name basis. We all have our own little 'clicks' we like to hang out with everyday, but every single person knows everyone. We always talk about RL stuff. It's conversation, and it makes raiding/farming go by faster. I can log on and not even play the game. I find myself sitting in Shattrath half the time just talking to friends on vent. I wouldn't be able to be in a guild that was 'strickly business'. I like to know the people I talk to and associate with everyday, it makes the guild stronger imo.
Under development page updated with new end-game content {WoW}
Apr 10th 2007 12:38PM So we can expect this patch in January 2008?
Brainstorming some new world events {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2007 1:29PM I agree with the holiday comment. Every year its the same thing...Holly gets kidnapped by the same elves, the same orphan needs to be saved..etc. etc. I think holiday events especially should be changed up every year. As it is now I don't even bother with half of them anymore. The first year we played wow I had fun figuring out and finishing all the holiday quests, as the rewards were new and exciting...Now its just, meh.
Brainstorming some new world events {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2007 1:24PM The possibilities are endless as far as world events are concerned. So many ideas have already been given. The main problem I see is how do you manage the process of world events through so many servers. Developer run world events are stuck on a few servers at most, like the ones mentioned. They went in the right direction with world events with AQ. It was a turn-in type event, with a gate opening.
I just think its not fair some servers to have real time live gm events and such, because most servers get left out. And you have to think about time zones..what if an event happens and I'm at work..I and many others have to miss out. Events like AQ that everyone can be involoved in at anytime - for a period of time, is the right step to take.
All in all, im getting pretty bored of raiding at the moment. My guild has kara down, maulgar and working on gruul with the new hotfix. SSC and such are coming soon, but its getting repetitive, and very boring. I'd really love to see some new stuff to do while I'm not raiding. Farming is getting pretty old.
An expansion a year? Blizzard says "we'll try." {WoW}
Mar 16th 2007 7:13PM Its the same old word war that blizzard has been waging since the start of WoW. They say one thing to shut us up, then when we call them out on what they said, they play the 12 y.o. word games saying 'nuh uhhh, thats not what I said'.
Anyone playing WoW should know by now not to trust anything about what you hear or read until you see it happen.
They have 10 months to put out an expansion based on the information they told us they were 'planning' to do. Based upon how long it took them to produce BC, I don't think we will have an expansion any earlier from a year and a half away from now.
Current content such as The Black Temple isn't even finished/released yet.
If they plan on staying on track with an expansion in 10 months, I'm thinking the only thing that will be in it is a few new opened instances with some fancy quirk to pvp somehow. It will be nothing like what BC brought such as a new continent, new races, etc. The next expansion is going to be a very big content patch they make you pay for.
IMO they need to straighten up the game they have before releasing new content and making everything unbalanced with classes and itemization. They especially need to work on raid encounters if they want anyone over a 1% of the player base to see end game content.
Blue Notes: Alchemy is random, the Consortium are swindlers {WoW}
Mar 9th 2007 10:41AM On our first week of starting kara with my guild I was at the entrance to kara making pots to hand out and I got the fortification flask recipe. It gives the guild the edge in progression. Being the only fort flask on the server, my guild is loving me for it. I farm the living crap out of mats and I have a couple of flasks for every single night on our tank(s). If I can score the assault one, I think I might quit the game and head straight for vegas.
Forum Thread of the Day: Karazhan's timer too long? {WoW}
Mar 9th 2007 10:22AM My guild runs two consecutive groups, and A team and a B team if you will. Our A team has cleared all but nightbane, our B team is on prince.
Having cleared kara with the A team for almost a month now, we do a full clear minus nightbane in two days of raiding. (We raid 6 days a week). The week long timer makes me, well, bored. I like the extra time to farm herbs for mats and such but having 4 days to be bored when your a raider is bad for business. I'd rather go from raid to raid than clear kara in two days and leave myself to twidle my thumbs for the rest of the week.
If they shorten up the timer for kara, it wouldn't be disastrous. If you can even clear kara, all that means is more t4 for your group. I think everyone would agree that t4 isn't even that much better than blues/various epics we already had.
As our A team gets faster and faster with the clears, we can sub out some of our more geared guys into the B team to help them progress. Sooner or later they will be on par with us. If we are able to clear in 2 days on a 3 day timer, it would allow us to swap into the other raid to help them without putting a damper on the A team's raiding schedule.
Quite frankly, the gear in kara isn't good enough to merit a week long timer. The more you do kara, the easier the boss fights become. If everyone in A team got 2 pieces of t4 in a few weeks what would that change? I know certain people that don't even want there t4 because its just that bad, and they even nerfed the rogue stuff...week long timer just to stall us on 25 man progression it what it seems like. Blizzard is smart yet linear in their intentions toward progression.
Breakfast Topic: Is raiding just too hard? {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2007 10:55AM Bramd, no offense but moroes, opera, etc, are easy. You can kill half the stuff in kara with blues/greens. Kara isn't the problem, you haven't even seen the problem yet. Try kazak, try mauldar, try getting 25 people keyed for any raid after kara. It's not about 'wanting' to raid and waiting to get gear to progress. Trust me, my guild has slammed kara, we have epics, we have the best gear possible to start gruul, and it...sucks. Comsumables, gear that isn't any better than quest rewards and dungeon 3, mobs that hit for 13k...Kara is a walk in the park compared to a 25 man.

The iconic Empire State Building lost a bit of its luster Monday, as it will no longer be the tallest building in the New York City skyline.
When construction workers put the latest steel columns in place at One World Trade Center, it will make the Freedom Tower's frame more than 1,250 feet high.
That is slightly taller than the observation deck at the Empire State Building.
The World Trade Center's Twin Towers were New York's tallest buildings from the 1970s until they were destroyed in 2001 in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
When the new building reaches its full height in about a year, it will be the tallest in America, and the third tallest in the world.
Freedom Tower will stand 1,776 feet high and boast 104 floors. That is 408 feet taller than the Twin Towers.

Sounds on 29th's Heather Dalton talks Teletunes and Denver music TV history
Heather Dalton has been part of the Denver music scene for decades, as a musician and TV show host and producer. Her latest project, Sounds on 29th, is a live performance and comedy show gearing up for its third season on local TV stationCPT12 this spring.
A collaboration with director Amy Larson and the crew of Denver's DIY-driven Brass Tree Sessions, Sounds on 29th is hosted by Sid Pink and gives local musicians, artists and comedians a platform to reach a wider audience.
See also: Sounds on 29th premieres on CPT12
This Thursday, December 12, at 3 Kings Tavern, the show invites one and all to be a part of the Sounds on 29th Live Gong Show and fundraiser, kicking off at 7 p.m. In advance of the benefit for the local music and comedy show, Dalton spoke with Westword about Sounds on 29th and how she got into television in the first place.
Westword: Can you talk a little bit about the Sounds on 29th show and how it originated?
Heather Dalton: Sounds on 29th was a collective project between myself and our director Amy Larson and some of the gentlemen from Brass Tree Sessions. Channel 12 has a history of being very involved with the local music scene with a show called Teletunes -- which, at the time, was the longest running music video program. It even predated MTV.
We kind of wanted to return to our roots -- but instead of looking at a national level, which Teletunes had done, we had so much incredible local talent that we decided to focus our efforts on the local scene. That's kind of how it came together. We were honestly only going to do a couple of episodes -- but it is a passion-driven project. We've had a really great amount of feedback from the local community and we just want to keep it going as long as we possibly can.
We have a very shoestring budget -- we've been very fortunate that the station has signed on, but outside of production costs, we don't have an operating budget. I'm the Executive Producer. We have a committee that chooses the acts, but I oversee aspects of production and booking.
Why did you decide to do a live music show versus, say, another video-driven show like Teletunes?
There's definitely a well of great videos being produced locally, but we felt that it was more intimate to go with a live show. Honestly, someone like myself -- an old scenester who doesn't make it out that much anymore (laughs) -- it was kind of selfish too, because you can see some of the greatest local acts in Denver without having to pay a cover charge and deal with a bunch of bumbling drunks.
How did you get into working with this kind of media?
Strangely enough, being a local musician many years ago, I actually hosted Teletunes, and started in television that way. I was a VJ who hosted interviews with national bands, as well as introducing the video line-ups.I really had no career path this direction, with production and editing, but I started with Channel 12 in 1992 and I've been there in many capacities ever since. But Teletunes was my introduction.
I had to go through an audition process to get on Teletunes; I auditioned with, I believe, 23 other people. It was a right place, right time sort of thing. I grew up watching Teletunes and it was something very near and dear to my heart. I feel like I can die happy now, knowing that almost twenty years later I am still working in some way related to Teletunes.
I was with Teletunes for about six years -- I started producing toward the end, because I wanted to step out of hosting.
Do you have an memorable interviews or episodes of Teletunes?
There was a lot of great ones! My very first interview was with Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl, which was extremely intimidating -- Pat Smear was running around naked in the background and refused to be on camera. But Dave Grohl was very gracious and understood as I kind of fumbled through the interview. Luscious Jackson and Love and Rockets were two other interviews that made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to participate in.
What is it about shows like Teletunes and Sounds on 29th that make them valuable to the community of viewers?
As media becomes more scattered, we kind of lose our connections in our interwoven thread as television viewers. For those of us involved in the local music scene, we understand the importance of that community. But I think for our viewers as well, it is just as important. Some people might not take a look out of their backdoors and see all of the amazing things going on in this town. We really have flourished and blossomed as a scene. With this concept of media-on-demand, we lose some of the intimacy and kind of don't see what's going on around us. Our main goal at Sounds on 29th is to share that with the people who are looking just past what is happening locally.

Christian Bale Rants and Raves
Christian Bale Rants and Raves
Christian Bale lost his stoic Batman cool on the set of Terminator Salvation, which of course TMZ was there to catch. Hah, perfect. Partial transcript after the jump, with more proof that Bale probably was guilty of beating up his mother all those months ago during The Dark Knight premiere.
"I want you off the f—ing set, you p—k!" Bale screamed as Hurlbut can be heard quietly apologizing. "Don't just be sorry - think for one f—ing second. What the f— are you doing?!"
"I'm gonna f—ing kick your f—ing a– if you don't shut up for a second," he shouted at one point, just before threatening to have Hurlbut fired.
"Am I going to walk around and rip your f—ing lights down in the middle of a scene? Then why the f— are you walking right through? What the f— is it with you?"
Bale wrapped up his rant with a simple, "f—ing a–."
A full audio file can be found here.
I was able to listen to the whole 4 minute tirade of a man that has obviusly a limited vocabulary. THis is pathetic. I was a big fan of Christian Bale before he gained notoriety with the Batman franchise, but I am not sure if fame got to his head or he was always like that. Chances are, he was always like that. Pathetic!
Waa Waa Wee Waa! Pretty bad, but I've heard of lawyers and certain business persons behaving far, far worse.

Success Stories
I did it to eat right, not diet hard.
Mary Ericksen
44 Mary didn't expect much from the Flat Belly Diet; she always regained the weight back after trying other diets.
"I didn't write down every single calorie I ate, and I did no exercise," says Mary. But within a few weeks of starting the Flat Belly Diet she lost 10 pounds and started walking to improve her results. The weight kept melting off!
Mary's Top Tip: "Have a fall-back food. When I have no time to cook, I'll spread some peanut butter on a whole wheat English muffin and then top it with a cut-up banana--it's easy and quick, and I don't have to think."

I was there in November. It was so beautiful I couldn't even begin to describe it. Must see to believe. There were mums everywhere!!! Oh, and the rose garden! The ground were decorated for christmas. I wish I could have taken the boat tour and have seen the light display. I did take the tour of the home and it was fasinating learning about Mrs. Bellengrath. I can't wait to go back. |
I grew up in Mobile, so obviously, we visited often. I was always enchanted with the Japanese garden. I haven't seen it in years. I wonder if it still looks the same... |

Suzy, the Japanese garden is still beautiful. We were there Friday, July 26. Very humid but still worth the trip. The entire garden is so beautiful in the spring and just as beautiful in summer. - Terry |
We may be there March 9, 03. Are things blooming that early? |

The Gardens are beautiful. We visited in May 2002. |
We were there in the latter part of March early April. The place was in total color with bloom everywhere you looked...I was in awe! It has been a few years but it was so beautiful, I still remember...We must have have had the timing perfect for the azaleas and rhododendras~~~ ! |
These photos were taken the first week of March, 2002. Definitely worth a visit! |

For footwear as tough as you, look no further than the durable Clarks Wave Trek. This supportive and stylish women's sneaker is crafted with Clarks' revolutionary WAVEWALK™ technology. Its rocker outsole reduces fatigue and saves energy by rocking you forward with every step, as the convenient lace up closure customizes your fit with each wear. Acknowledged by the American Podiatric Medical Association, the Clarks Wave Trek sneaker ensures advanced comfort and protection from strain and pain.
Clarks Wave Trek Grey Suede Women's Shoe
Features include:
I suffer from plantar fascitiis and I usually just purchase insoles. But my back was hurting even with the insoles (I had been using my OLD pair of comfortable shoes) so I decided it was time to replace those. These shoes were a nice surprise. They are a bit heavier than my old sneakers but the sole and insole offer great support. It was a bonus that they are waterproof as I work in a lab. That said, I thought this would create sweaty feet. This has not been the case at all. My feet do stay comfortably warm and I'm not sure how hot they will get in the summer. But right now they are great. I have not needed to put in my insoles and my back pain has decreased!! Also, I love the colors used. I do not like white in my shoes and it's been difficult to find some with good support. These Clark wave trek shoes has been a great find!
Shopped all day in this shoe & loved its complete comfort! My heels do not hurt. It's a great walking shoe as well. Will be a favorite & will be purchasing more.

For about a year I have been looking on a balcony in my apt building and seeing a small wooden sewing machine table which was being used to hold a small barbecue. Today the tenants moved out and put the table in the garbage room. I grabbed it right away. It is in good shape but because it has been out in the weather the wood is really dry and the metal parts are rusted. I would like to use it for one of my machines. Could you tell me what type of oil ot what could I apply to bring the wood back. I am not really concerned about the look but it feels so dry and ugly. But I have been courting this little tble for about a year. LOL |

I don't have a great suggestion-- maybe Murphy's Oil Soap, that's been useful on some of my pre-owned finds... I just wanted to support your glee on your table. Your story of waiting it out for a year made me smile. I've stalked neighbor's roadside furniture myself, waiting for them to go inside so I can take it home. :-) (Vintage chairs, etc.) I'm glad to hear about someone rescuing an old sewing table. I've done so with a number of them myself, (I use them for bedside cabinets and side tables, without the sewing machine.) You might consider giving it a lick of paint if you're not able to put the oils back in. I did that with one of mine, which turned out pretty well. I'll post the link to that at the bottom of this message, just for reference if needed. But most of all, congrats on a such a happy resolution to a year long's worth of patient waiting! Yay! --Jenn |

I love old english polish and scratch remover. It comes in a light wood or dark wood finish. Its a combo oil and stain and will do wonders with dried out wood. If you use it, at first it will look oily and wet, give it overnight and you'll be amazed! Found mine at grocery store or at **al-*art You can also lightly sand, wipe, put some stain on. Once dry, put a coat of paste wax, let dry and buff. Great smooth, deep finish. Has to be occassionally touched up(maybe twice and year) but looks and wears great. |

SisterSunnie, I think by your helpful post for Mirren, you inadvertently solved what I need to do some of my woodwork, which has been scratched up by the previous owner's dogs! I'd used a woodmarker in spots, but it was taking forever. Thanks! |
Thank you so much for the replies. Later on last night I went back to the garbage room and they had also left a two piece china cabinet sort of thing. The bottom has two doors that open outward and the top has two glass doors that open outward (as opposed to sliding). It is made from that pressed stuff (not solid wood) but it is very heavy and sturdy and in good shape. It is painted white (factory). There are no shelves in it but there are holes to put the little things in to hold shelves. I plan to use it in my sewing room to hold fabric, yarn, etc. I love it when people move. If anything is usable and I dont want it, I take it anyway and take it to a local thrift shop which sells and also gives to people in need. So far I have taken bags of shoes, clothes and I have a new pair of girls figure skates to take there. We are expecting a storm tomorrow so I will go for groceries now and get the stuff for the sewing table. Thanks again for replying. |
Mine had a lot of dust on it and I just used a rag and soapy water and cleaned it off and then rinsed...keeping water to a minimum. It added moisture back into the wood. Then when dry, I used the normal tung oil on it. But there are varnishes that are tung oil. It really brought out the grain of the cabinet. Ever so often I re-tung it, lol. Wow shoes will be good next Christmas for decorations (if they do not fit). and the cabinet sounds good for material. |

Sal, that was a really fun site, thanks for sharing it. Luvs |
I just bought an old treadle machine last weekend. MIL brought up a rag with lemon oil on it and said it's best for old wood and safe for it. I know I have used orange oil on newer items we have here and it puts LOTS of moisture back in the wood. MIL said that it hasn't been around long enough for her to trust it, though! :) |
I was going to say mineral oil so i googled it and yep, that's what they use in food service. Check out your baby oil, that's probably mineral oil. |
I love Liquid Gold |
There is a Zap! Wood Restore product, that really works on old dry wood. I use it on my porch swing and porch rockers a couple times a year, and they get really dry. Tung oil is also a good suggestion, I use that on my old round oak dining table once about every couple of years. It repels water well. I got the Zap wood Restore at Home Depot, but I think you can get it at most any hardware/ home improvement store. Sandy |

Arvia: One of Marian's own a state champ — at Montini
PHIL ARVIA firstname.lastname@example.com | (708) 633-5949 December 2, 2011 8:08PM
Quarterback John Rhode, a transfer from Marian Catholic, passed for 587 yards and seven touchdowns in leading Montini to a 70-45 win over Joliet Catholic in the Class 5A state title game. Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 5, 2012 8:20AM
When as many people come to your games for the halftime show as the football, a team might easily develop an inferiority complex.
At Marian Catholic, the football team has a decided glamour deficit beside the Spartans' marching band, which under the direction of Greg Bimm has won a completely ridiculous 32 consecutive state class championships, 15 overall state titles (including the last three) and has finished in the top 12 in the nation for 28 straight years.
But, given athletic director Dave Mattio has been coaching football since 1976, and Bimm directing the band since '77, by now everyone's probably used to the fact that clarinetists are cooler than cornerbacks — at least in one tidy corner of Chicago Heights.
Still, some Spartans must have noticed renewed feelings of second-class citizenship last weekend, while watching Montini dismantle Joliet Catholic 70-45 for the state 5A football title. Montini's quarterback, John Rhode, was Marian's starter the previous two seasons.
Rhode threw for 587 yards and seven touchdowns in the win, leaving him with totals of 3,034 and 42 over his eight-game senior season, the beginning of which was delayed as he recovered from a broken thumb suffered in Montini's final preseason scrimmage.
Another John Rhode, the quarterback's dad, was thrilled by the outcome, of course. And, though he's a Marian grad who lives just a few blocks from the school, he's emerged from what might have been an ugly transfer process with his serenity and sanity intact.
He could even chuckle when I wondered if the decision came down to Marian's option — young John Rhode passed for 808 yards in 2010 — vs. Montini's spread.
"Initially, of course, we saw he was unhappy," the elder Rhode said of his son. "There were a number of things going on — not just football. ... We have a lot of friends and people (at Marian) who care about us, and they were saying things like 'I never see John smile anymore.' "
Rhode, a mortgage broker, works a block away from Montini's Lombard campus. That the Broncos, two-time defending state champs, needed a new starting quarterback factored little into the decision.
"Absolutely not," he said. "We didn't know his ability to read defenses and throw the ball like this."
The quarterback adapted well. It helped that Marian made it easy.
"Dave Mattio's been great," Rhode said. "He had no problem signing off on the transfer."
With none of the parties objecting, and with Montini, at 28.9 miles from the Rhode house, within the IHSA's 30-mile radius for eligibility, there were no issues with the transfer. There have been few issues all along, even when the thumb injury occurred.
"Johnny, he was still so happy, we knew it was the right decision," Rhode said.
Another decision is coming.
Jake Rhode, an eighth-grader at Infant Jesus of Prague in Flossmoor, is a point guard. He was a big part of a team that put together a 91-game winning streak, snapped in IJP's final game last season.
He may or not be going to the one high school he wouldn't need a bus pass to attend.
"There's a lot of Catholic schools Johnny drives by every day to go to Montini," Rhode said. "One of them may be a good fit if Jake doesn't go to Marian."
Any father, if he had the means, would try to send his child to the school that best meets the kid's needs. Too bad Johnny and Jake weren't drawn to the Sousaphone.
A poorer Rich Central
If Rich Central's girls basketball team dips a bit from its gaudy 8-2 record and No. 7 ranking in the area over the next week, perhaps that will be the best news possible for the Olympians.
Thursday at Bloom Trail, players Alex Stanford and Layne Murphy, along with coach Brian Craig, were ejected from the Olympians' 54-42 win over the Blazing Trojans. Stanford and Murphy were launched in the second and third quarters, respectively — of a game in which Rich Central never trailed — for their histrionic complaints about the officiating.
Of the players' behavior, Bloom coach Ron Newquist said, "In 29 years of coaching, I've never seen anything like it."
According to the officials' report, Craig's ejection owed to "multiple Indirect Technical Fouls" — rules mandate a coach's ejection for three such fouls, which are earned with each technical assessed to any member of that coach's team.
All three will miss Central's Monday game at Homewood-Flossmoor by IHSA rule. Stanford and Murphy are facing longer stints on the bench, of yet indeterminate length, by Rich Central principal Jammie Poole Jr.
"That is not the Olympian way of doing things," Poole said. "We do want to send the message that that type of behavior will not be tolerated."

Explain how Jem "broke the remaining code of our childhood" in To Kill a Mockingbird.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Jem broke this cardinal rule in Chapter 14 of To Kill a Mockingbird shortly after Dill was found hiding under Scout's bed after running away from home. Dill hoped to stay in hiding for a while, but Jem recognized that Dill's parents would be worried, so he went to the man that he trusted most when problems arose: his father, Atticus. Although Jem must have felt that he was betraying his young friend--"Dill's eyes flickered at Jem, and Jem looked at the floor"--he called for Atticus to come into the room. "Dill's face went white," and Scout "felt sick." By ratting out Dill, Jem had broken "the remaining code of our childhood." But Jem had made the right decision, and soon Atticus had smoothed over Dill's troubles.

Shaken, not stirred [Giveaway]
December 14, 2012 in Drinks, Recipes, Win
To enter the competition to win a box full of Consol Glass products – please head on over here
Ah, cocktails, magical concoctions, that if brewed just right, leave the recipients feeling like they have been transported to a faraway place, filled with sun, sand and umbrellas. I enjoy a good cocktail, and I like to measure a place by the quality of their Strawberry Daiquiris. That being said, I hardly ever make my own cocktails, opting for premixed or the creation of some talented bartender.
However, cocktails are super fun to make. We went on a team building for work once, where we got split into teams and had a competition to see who could make the best cocktails under instruction from very patient bartenders. I don't remember who won, but I do remember that it was probably one of the best team building's I have ever been on. Although making Mojito's with your boss is kind of weird.
When I saw the cocktail making classes on offer at the Taste of Christmas festival this past weekend, I knew I had to fork over my crowns (the currency used at the festival) to participate. I anxiously waited for the class to start at 5, and when we began, we were given an explanation of all the fancy cocktail making tools (like a muddler and a hawthorne strainer – sounds like something out of Harry Potter) and proceeded to make a "Full Moon" cocktail. This was a mixture of rasberries, cranberry juice and a Castle Milk Stout. Now I am not fond of beer, and even though this was my least favourite cocktail of the night, it was still sweet enough to drink without gagging.
We then moved on to making a cocktail called a Blue Dissolve (mine was actually pink) with candyfloss, cranberry and vodka. The cocktail is poured over the candyfloss and it disappears like magic (just like my candyfloss lemonade)
The final cocktail, A Sergenti Swirl consisted of Mint, Honey and a Savanna, and the boyfriend and I both agreed that this was the winner.
The coolest thing about all these cocktails was that they were all served in awesome glass jars and bottles. (From Consol obviously)
The recipe for the Serengeti Swirl is given below, the other recipes (with instructional videos) can be found on the Consol Facebook page
Jam jars seem to be a popular choice for serving cocktails now days, and paired with a quirky paper straw, make awesome signature drinks for events. These are some of my favourite Jam Jar cocktail pictures (mostly found on pinterest):
Watermelon Cooler, Bomb Collins, Summer Cherry Sours,
The Southside Fizz, Cherry Lemonade, Sake Champagne Mojito,
The Scarlett O'Hara, Apple, ginger and cranberry vodka cocktail

Neil Lennon hails Celtic after famous win over Barcelona
Elated manager Neil Lennon highlighted the chasm in resources between Celtic and Barcelona after his team stunned the Spaniards in the Champions League.
Victor Wanyama, 21, and substitute Tony Watt put Celtic two up in Glasgow before Lionel Messi made it 2-1.
"[Barca boss] Tito Vilanova can bring on David Villa and Cesc Fabregas and I bring on an 18-year-old kid who cost £50,000 from Airdrie," said Lennon.
"I think it is one of the greatest nights in the club's recent history."
Celtic Park rocked as Kenyan Wanyama headed Charlie Mulgrew's corner past Victor Valdes after 21 minutes.
And despite waves of attacks by the Catalans, they could find no way through an organised and determined Celtic defence, with home goalkeeper Fraser Forster in supreme form.
Neil Lennon"As a manager I don't know if I will top that. I hope I do, I am still young, still progressing"
With seven minutes remaining, Xavi failed to control Forster's long kick and striker Watt pounced on the ball, raced towards the goal and hammered it low into the net to stun the visitors.
Messi's close-range strike in injury time could not ruin what Lennon described as a "very poignant" result following the club's 125th anniversary.
"The players are the heroes," he said after the match, which leaves Celtic two points behind leaders Barcelona in Champions League Group G and three points clear of third-placed Benfica.
"I can't speak highly enough of their performances tonight and they will go down in the history books of the club as the team that beat probably the best team in the world."
While wanting his players to "enjoy the moment and take it all in", Lennon said the win merely improved his team's chances of progressing to the last 16 in the tournament.
"It's given us a greater chance than we expected before the game. We still have two very difficult games," said Lennon, whose team next go to Lisbon to face Benfica.
The manager then praised Watt for showing great composure to slot home Celtic's second.
He said: "It is a phenomenal thing he has done so early in his career.
"I said before the game I had no hesitation in playing him but we felt his lack of experience would have been a bit too much to put him in the starting line-up.
"But he came on and he did everything we asked him to do. He scored a brilliant goal and I felt he should have had a penalty when he got the other side of Javier Mascherano.
"The kid is learning and he has written himself into the history books of the club.
"He's 11 games into his career. I hope he has a fruitful career but it will take some topping what he has done tonight."
Describing Celtic Park as "one of the greatest arenas in European football", Lennon praised the fans for the atmosphere they generated and gave a glimpse of how he had spotted a flaw in their famous opponents' armour.
"We did feel they were vulnerable from corners, at the back post," he said.
"I felt Wanyama or [Mikael] Lustig could affect that. The delivery is so important. Charlie Mulgrew is one of the best dead-ball takers in British football."
And he continued: "This is up there with anything I've ever done in my life.
"Playing in the team that reached the Uefa Cup final was pretty special, the 10 years I had under Martin O'Neill were great times, and I had great times under Gordon [Strachan] reaching the [Champions League] last 16 here.
"But as a manager I don't know if I will top that. I hope I do, I am still young, still progressing.
"When we scored we knew the storm was coming and it came.
"They hit the post and the crossbar so they can feel very unlucky that they didn't get something out of the game."

9th November 2012 - 11:15264. @265 dont read the DR's twist of wording I read this in other news articles......."We are still in first place and we are relaxed, "I think we did everything well, we got into goal-scoring positions but the ball just didn't go in," "They were comfortable closing ranks in defence, waiting for a chance to counterattack, a corner or a freekick and that's how they managed to score the two goals.

9th November 2012 - 11:05@263 Whether it puts players on alert for so called clubs in richer leagues Celtic are in no obligation to sell players and not all players run towards the flickering light of gold. Some actually appreciate the great nights in Europe and stay to savour more nights. As of the SPL Title being worth less than the Capital Cup last Seasons SPL Title was worth at least £15M to Celtic this season.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jasper!
Facts about Jasper
- Breed: Retriever (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jasper's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
I love other dogs and kids. I haven't found my forever family yet, but maybe it is you. Please come see me!
Other Pets at Wickenburg Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jasper, a Wickenburg Retriever (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Retriever (Unknown Type) for sale in Wickenburg, or seeking a Retriever (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Wickenburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wickenburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wickenburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Retriever (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Retriever (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wickenburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Tell it to the District Dear Citizen Readers: Has your home well gone dry yet? Did you know that if it does that your home owners insurance won't cover your well replacement? Digging a deeper well is an expensive proposition. Depending on how deep you need to go, it can cost several hundred dollars to get to water. Then you have to replace your pump. When the pump tries to pump air, it burns up and you will need a new one to the tune of $1,000 to $1,500—maybe more. It all depends on when you hit water.
Great tax aide event We have enjoyed another exceptional season with the AARP Tax Aide with the generous support of our communities. The Luther Callaway Library serves as our Chiefland host site.

It is reported that our country, the United States of America, is deep in debt. It seems our elected governmental officials including the President have had to borrow money to pay for the things our leaders believe are necessary. I mean, actually borrow money above all the taxes that are collected from those of us who pay them.

Hymn Lyrics
Minnesota State, we hail; Hail the purple and the gold
All alumni, old and new, take you with them when they go.
From the hilltop, from the prairie
Where the river bends to lead them
We are walking proud and strong, Minnesota State on and on.
Racha Macha, MSU, now and always we'll be true
In the classroom, on the mall, by the fountain, spring or fall
In the cities, in their towers, in the nations far from home.
Minnesota State we hail to you.
Purple and gold we're ever true.
Rouser Lyrics
Hail to our colors, the purple and the gold.
Rally for vict'ry, We're back of you so fight, fight, fight.
You'll conquer our foes all you Mav'ricks brave and bold.
So fight on Minnesota State, Come on let's go, let's go!

Arup celebrated its sponsorship of Greenhouse
By Greenhouse Team On March 23, 2011
Featured at The Fifth Estate: Greenhouse by Joost – Arup function
23 March 2011 – Arup celebrated its sponsorship of the exciting Greenhouse by Joost at Circular Quay on Thursday last week with a wonderful evening of food and jam jar drinks before the installation moves at the end of March to Milan, Berlin, Budapest and London.
To experience Greenhouse by Joost just once in your life is akin to stumbling on a taste of magic. Charm, optimism, daring and imagination. And that's just in the construction that consisted of haybales, plywood, soldered metal tubes for the chairs, packing case furniture, jam jars to drink from, strawberry plants covering the exterior and a lush herb garden on the roof.
The sustainable building, organic food, talent of its creator Joost Bakker, and the spirit of triumph over a wasteful world is inspirational.
Guests included David Bubna-Litic of UTS, Chris Derksema, City of Sydney, Rosemary Kirky, GPT, Patrick Dale, NAB, Stephen Boss, Brookfield Multiplex, Anita Mitchell of Lend Lease, Richard Morris, British Consulate General, Elaine Callighen, Consulate General of Canada.

"Mobile" is about the interface—how quickly we can access computing power. Today we have more computing power in our smartphones that what was used to send the first man to the moon. "Social" is the network and who is engaged. Social transcends personal and work, and today genuine value resides in this network. The "cloud" is the information store and innovation platform. "Big data" is the brains and intelligence resident in the information, be it structured or unstructured. Finally, "video and unified communications" are how we share, interact, and collaborate with each other across all senses.
While these five forces are interesting on their own, digital business disruption is happening at their convergence: social and big data, mobile and cloud, video and mobile. It's this convergence that is creating tremendous market disruption.In the midst of this technological advance, market change is accelerating.
In light of these forces, where is your company today? Where will it be in five years? Consider this: in 2010, Blackberry had a 45 percent market share, Apple 25 percent, Microsoft 15 percent, Android 7 percent, and Palm 5.7 percent. Today, Blackberry has a 1.5 percent share. The pace of change has never been so intense. Since 2000, 52 percent of the Fortune 500 has been merged, acquired, or gone bankrupt.
What are today's biggest ERP deficiencies? What are the most sought-after next-gen ERP features and functionality? And how are organizations around the globe leveraging cloud, mobile, and social collaboration to enhance business performance and responsiveness? The answers to these questions are revealed in our latest global research, which surveyed more than 1,500 business professionals in 10 countries.
For those of you who like the Readers Digest treatment, allow me to break it down for you as to our key takeaways:
Survey results show a high percentage of ERP adoption but no raving fans. Most characterized the utility of their ERP as merely "adequate" or "basic". This just shows that ERP is not helping companies drive value and growth, and/or interact with customers and employees in the way they'd like.
It takes too long and it's too difficult to get info survey respondents need. This is an issue that has plagued the enterprise apps business for a long time, and a fact that reinforces that our recent investments in Epicor ERP 10 around ease of use and customer experience are very much on track with market needs.
The survey data shows cloud is becoming more accepted – not just for point solutions, but that organizations have now comfortable with the speed, benefits, SLAs and security aspects around cloud for running all or part (hybrid model) of their mission critical enterprise applications. We feel that many organizations will find a hybrid model to be the best solution to meet their needs (to meet regulatory requirements, multiplant, etc.) and so the flexibility for both on-premises and cloud deployment options and the ability to seamlessly interact across these environments will be key going forward.
On the whole are bullish on ERP capabilities including mobile, social and cloud, believing they offer new and exciting opportunities for improved organizational responsiveness. Mobile, social and cloud are changing business as we know it, and the gap between leaders and laggards will continue to widen.
Over the past few years, Epicor has re-architected our user interfaces to move away from the traditional data entry model. We believe data entry is a last resort on how information should be put into the system. Today information is being broadcast by machines, devices and people; our approach has been to intercept that information so it can be parsed and disseminated quickly and seamlessly throughout the organization.
Organizations know they need next-gen ERP capabilities, but many are fearful of the time, money and effort to have to replace your ERP system. The good news is much has changed in the past few years to improve ease of deployment and make ERP replatforming less daunting.
Many organizations have ERP systems that are 10 to 20 years old, which to learn and use required a lot of training. This is contrary to the way systems are used today by the current generation of users. The addition of things such as social and search serves to dramatically reduce the learning curve. SaaS has helped a great deal – often hardware investment is seen as a big barrier, as is the resources and skill sets needed to manage the infrastructure. SaaS removes these barriers.
By this time next year I predict that we won't be talking about mobile, social and cloud as "next-gen" methods to extend the value of ERP. So what will we be talking about – what's next?
I think we'll be talking about connectivity and collaboration – specifically regarding social systems and machine-to-machine interfaces. We'll be talking about using Big Data and analytics to move into more predictive realms. The manufacturing and distribution sectors, in particular, have a huge amount of information to unlock.

The voting period is now open and ends Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Cast your vote now by visiting MGM's project profile here:
According to technology research firm Gartner, "Four independent forces—social, mobile, cloud and information—have converged as a result of human behavior, creating a technology-immersed environment. The Nexus of Forces (NOF) is transforming the way people and businesses relate to technology. It also leads to upheaval and change, which bring opportunities for business strategists to transform business processes and industries based on a renewed consumer focus."
Business transformation is about developing new capabilities and when necessary, moving away from business models that are no longer competitive is the goal. The capability to transform when needed—or when better business outcomes can be achieved—is essential for survival in today's dynamic and rapidly evolving economy. To enable this, organizations must align strategy decisions and business systems to help drive execution and support sustained long-term, continuous transformation.
So, how can NOF impact your business? View this Gartner report that presents key findings, such as:

A post on TechAdvisory.org points to the advantages of enterprise resource planning (ERP) for small and mid-sized businesses considering the technology for the first time; however, its list of how ERP supports today's business requirements in terms or productivity and profitability extends to enterprises of all sizes. They cite 10 top requirements for today's businesses and how ERP helps meet them:
When ERP matches your business, the best practices that are part of the system can be used to automate the flow of information in the business. The key is finding an ERP that is a good fit—the general flow of the system needs to match your business practices. When this happens, many good things follow, including greater productivity and higher profitability.

One of the by-products of implementing technologies that connect the top and shop floor is the influences on the enterprise culture. In a post on his blog, Irving Wladawsky-Berger discusses the organizational challenges of embracing disruptive technologies. (Wladawsky-Berger, who worked for IBM for 37 years before retiring, is visiting lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management and Engineering Systems Division, executive-in-residence at NYU's Center for Urban Science and Progress, senior fellow at the Levin Institute of the State University of New York, and adjunct professor in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group at the Imperial College Business School.) The key points he makes regarding technology and organizational culture are worth revisiting:
The first point speaks to the fact that technology not only impacts markets and operations, but also individuals and groups within an organization. In general, change is often painful as well as positive, and this is no different with technological change. It's important that an organization be given a target to shoot for, "a kind of promised land everyone can aim for instead of wandering in the desert without a clear path forward."
The next point underscores a subtle conundrum organizations face: the management skills leveraged for sustaining success systematically are often at odds with those that incorporate the growth resulting from the disruptive technologies. "In particular, managers have to make the transition from managing in the present to managing both the present and future—that is, they have to be good at both operations and strategy. Easier said than done." The delicate balance here: managing for near-term results at the same time one manages for ongoing relevance and competitive standing in the future.
Finally, top-down leadership and support are essential in overcoming the resistance of individuals or groups to new technologies that are changing the way they work and jostling their comfort zones. "Visible top-management support is very helpful in tempering sibling rivalries and getting everyone to work together as part of one company-wide team."
This discussion calls to mind a comment of another great thinker, Isaac Asimov: "It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be." This is true for truly disruptive technologies such as the Internet, as well as the residual technology changes that follow in their wake. Basically, technological change begets cultural change; organizations that understand this are more likely to implement change successfully.
Like it or not, IT has become consumerized. "BYOD" is a phrase that refers to employees who bring their own computing devices (i.e., smartphones, laptops, tablets) to the workplace for use and connectivity on the corporate network. BYOD is happening—and fast. An article on Search Security cites rates of adoption reaching 40 percent to 75 percent, driven largely by consumer smartphones and tablets. The article's lead describes the risk/benefit of BYOD:
Mobile devices come in all shapes and sizes, from smartphones, notebooks, and tablets, to the new-breed hybrid convertibles and detachables that made headlines at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013. While mobility boosts enterprise employee efficiency by delivering "anywhere access" to business data and systems, it obliterates what's left of the increasingly ineffective corporate network perimeter. Many security managers have already discovered the disconcerting implications: less control than ever over enterprise data access from a myriad of consumer devices—including a groundswell of BYODs—and more difficulty determining which devices are accessing which systems and data.
The article quotes Anthony Peters, director of information technology at Burr Pilger Mayer Inc., a financial services firm headquartered in San Francisco, on the development. Peters notes his tidy, policy-driven corporate BlackBerry world was shattered several years ago by the Apple iPhone craze. "Today, we're almost entirely BYOD," Peters said. "We allow iPhone 3GS and above, Windows Mobile, and Android."
The Security for Business Innovation Council recommends a BYOD Agreement Checklist for those organizations embracing the practice:
On another front, a recent USA Today article focuses on the significant productivity gains enabled by BYOD, with studies showing that mobile users taking advantage of productivity apps save 88 minutes a day—22 days a year—by doing so. It cites a new line of BYOD products that has emerged to address the attendant security issue:
Those products are designed to protect personal devices without penetrating the user privacy, by "splitting" the device in two partitions: one for personal use and the other for business use. The organization gets a full control over the business part, while the employee gets to do whatever he wants with his private partition.
Until those tools become commonplace, the article offers tips for safe use of BYOD:
The author concludes: "Businesses should establish guidelines about who gets to use mobile devices to access corporate information, and what they can do with it—and couple this policy with accountability and enforcement. Use of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution enables remote device tracking and wipes off data on lost or stolen devices. Companies should use enterprise-grade mobile apps and keep security patches updated."

Getting quotes for an Trane XL16i heat pump in the PA region...here is what they plan to do for $8000. Good deal?
Supply & install (1) One Trane, XL16i, 4.0ton high efficiency air conditioning system, 17.0 SEER, 13.0 EER, 9.2 HSPF, ARI# 4385651.
EQUIPMENT: 4TWX6048, TAM7A0C42H31, TBAYEVBC15BK1AA, BAYSPEC200A, R-410A REFRIGERANT, VARIABLE SPEED AIR HANDLER, TWO STAGE COMPRESSOR. They also gave me a quote for an XL15i 15.5 SEER for $200 less, but isn't the XL16i better? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 12 at 13:08
About what I expected with the good pricing. AHRI says this is a discontinued system.That is the old XL16i condenser that has been replaced by the G suffix. This usually means an improvement over the older model. Have no idea what though. Ask for the G series. Several other suggestions. On the heat strip I would insist on Trane's two stage model, 10/15 KW. IMO |

A former Hartford Select Board member was sentenced yesterday at U.S. District Court in Burlington for distributing hydrocodone in Vermont. Reginald Tatro, 63, was credited for time served and received one year of supervised release. According to court records, Tatro received a package of prescription pills the Hartford Village Post Office on Nov. 24, 2010. Police obtained a federal warrant, discovered hydrocodone and arrested Tatro.
Tatro was addicted to prescription pain medication and supported his habit by selling the drug in the Hartford area, according to prosecutors. He pleaded guilty at his arraignment last year. The case was investigated by the Southern Vermont Drug Task Force.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full Story -

The twins arrived in Los Angeles a couple of years ago via London, Berlin and Paris, where they lived in hotels and played with two acoustic guitars and a harmonica. "We have always painted and drawn," says Kite. "A couple of years ago, our mom gave us a guitar and we started putting our poetry to music. When we came here we just wanted to get on stage and rock and roll. Fortunately we found three guys to make a band."
"Now all we do is drink and smoke and write music," her sister adds. "Does a band do anything else but that?"
Of course, they're also busy making a stylish impression at various parties around town, dressed in their own quirky homemade creations. So it's no surprise that their music is influenced by — what else? — fashion. "We get our inspiration as much from other music as movie stars, fashion, everything," says Fly.
In fact, people often mistake them for stylists or designers. "We get that all the time. We never like wearing anything that anyone else wears," says Kite.
"And I actually made this skirt tonight," adds Fly, pointing to her miniscule, spray-painted denim skirt edged with safety pins and lace. "This was one of the things holding my curtains together."
"Actually," says Kite, "that was my favorite skirt and Fly got a hold of it and cut it short enough for only her to wear, since I am taller."
