Video: Drug Charge Against East Aurora Teacher Dropped
BUFFALO, NY - A drug charge against an East Aurora teacher has been dropped.
Erie County district attorney Frank Sedita confirmed to 2 On Your Side that the possession of a controlled substance charge, against Ryan Ellis has been dropped because the evidence seized would be inadmissible in court. Sedita says evidence was collected in violation of Ellis' constitutional rights.
Ellis, 36, was pulled over on the city's east side by Buffalo police last month.
Police commissioner Daniel Derenda said on Friday that, "we're looking into why those charges were dropped, we'll first confer with the DA's office and then, if need be, open an internal investigation, but right now, we're looking into why the charges were dropped."
Officials won't comment on what officers specifically did wrong.
Ellis is a teacher at East Aurora High. He was placed on a leave of absence, while the charge was investigated. On Friday morning, district superintendent Brian Russ said Ellis remains on leave.
Russ later released a statement to 2 On Your Side saying, "the district will pursue whatever action it deems appropriate under the circumstances. Any action taken by the district concerning its employees is separate from any criminal process - as it expects its employees, especially its teachers, to act professionally at all times."
Buffalo police spokesperson Michael DeGeorge says the department has opened up an internal review into the matter.
A law enforcement source tells us that Ellis did not report his arrest to his supervisors in December.
No timeline has been given for when more information will be released.
Ellis was cleared to work by the state in 2003, even though he had a drug conviction a few years before.
Still, students who we've heard from at East Aurora High say he's a nice guy and a good teacher.
Ellis lives in North Tonawanda. We reached out to Ellis for comment Friday. His family says he has no response.

Each year, thousands of unsuspecting Americans fall at home leaving many of them seriously injured and even disabled. In 2010, more than 12,800 people over age 65 died and 1.6 million were treated in emergency departments because of falls.
Falls can occur unexpectedly, even to the most sure-of-foot person. Most falls take place at home, making proactive fall prevention around the house so important. Here are some safety tips to help prevent slips, trips, and falls:
In addition to fall prevention at home, being aware of weather and terrain conditions when you venture outdoors is also important. Easy Comforts offers easy-to-handle products that can reduce hazards and aid in personal stability while away from home.

Comments about Gripper Socks:
Very dissapointed. If I had have wanted hospital socks I would have gotten them from the hopaital. Did not like the big seam across the toe and they were too thick to ware with shoes. I have unsubscribed from your emails and please do not send me any more catalogues.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Unable to wear with shoes

About Me Casual
Best Uses
I wanted socks with grips so that when my mother walks at night to bathroom without her slippers she won't slip and fall. But I also wanted her to be able to put her shoes on with these socks but they are still to thick for that. Not thin enough towear with her shoes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Could be better...
By Frank
from Arkansas
The one size fits all allows the socks to turn on your feet when you wear them around the house. If they were a fitted sock and could be ordered by size, I would probably have a much higher opinion of them.

Warm toes
By Cat Lady
from Anderson, SC
When I saw the picture of the crew length, I wanted them right away; it is what I have been looking for (I have the shorter version). I love the safety strips because I have a gait/balance disorder and these socks help me with safety concerns and also keep my toes warm.

The Volcker Rule, Made Bloated and Weak (NYT)
Jesse Eisinger writes that lobbyists are trying to make the Volcker Rule implode under the weight of its own complexity, but as Roosevelt Institute Senior Fellows Joseph Stiglitz and Rob Johnson point out, if banks demand simplicity, regulators could remind them to be careful what they wish for.
If Liberals Want to Help the Poor, They Should Focus on the Middle Class (TNR)
Roosevelt Institute Senior Fellow Mark Schmitt argues that devoting attention to the struggles of the middle class isn't a distraction from the plight of those who are worse off; it's the only way to build a safety net big enough to catch all of them.
Winners and Losers From a Tax Proposal (NYT)
Binyamin Appelbaum notes that the president's plan offsets manufacturing subsidies by raising taxes on other types of businesses ranging from oil companies to whiskey distillers -- or at least making them put a little more effort into their tax evasion.
Corporations Don't Need a Tax Cut, So Why Is Obama Proposing One? (Robert Reich)
Robert Reich suggests that closing the loopholes and keeping the corporate tax rate intact makes more sense than Obama's plan, and having an actual strategy to stop the GOP from cutting taxes and keeping the loopholes would be even better.
'A narrative of ... life under a Romney presidency' (WaPo)
Ezra Klein writes that if Mitt Romney's new proposal for deep cuts to taxes and domestic spending is supposed to tell a story about what life would be like during his administration, it's less of an inspiring narrative and more of a spooky campfire tale.
Check out "The 99 Percent Plan," a new Roosevelt Institute/Salon essay series on the progressive vision for the economy.
Too Big to Jail (Project Syndicate)
Simon Johnson argues that the robo-signing settlement is totally inadequate and totally in keeping with the Obama administration's approach to the banking industry, which they treat like a bomb that could go off if they breathe too hard around it.
Responding to Critics, S.E.C. Defends 'No Wrongdoing' Settlements (NYT)
SEC chairwoman Mary Schapiro claims her agency's approach to punishing financial crimes by making firms promise to go forth and sin no more is an effective deterrent, even if they have to be reminded of their promise another six or seven times.
The Buying of the President 2012: Meet the Super PAC Mega-Donors (The Nation)
Ari Berman profiles the small group of donors who are spending millions to help their prized pony win the Republican nomination. But that doesn't mean they all support the system -- just think of this as a long, expensive ad for campaign finance reform.
Why Should Anti-Choice and Anti-Gay Groups Have More Right to Boycott and Picket Than Unions? (In These Times)
Josh Eidelson notes that while secondary boycotts are illegal for unions, they've become one of the right's favorite protest tactics because they're so effective. If only that kind of power could be harnessed for good instead of nonsense.
Some Greeks Might Have to Pay for Their Jobs (Atlantic Wire)
Under Greek austerity measures, 64,000 government employees will be asked to go without pay or accept a "negative salary," meaning they get to pay for the privilege of not being laid off. And who'd want to give up a plum position like that?
With additional research by Roosevelt Institute intern Elena Callahan.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Lobo coach Bob Davie addressed a portion of the Mountain West media Tuesday, saying "the past doesn't have to dictate the future."
However, the past that saw the University of New Mexico win three games in three seasons surely was a consideration for the media at the Mountain West Football Media Day, which picked the Lobos to finish last in the 10-team MW race of 2012.
"I think it's a factor that we haven't performed well in the past," said Lobo quarterback B.R. Holbrook.
If a chip on the shoulder is a good thing for a football team to carry into the 2012 season, the Lobos and were handed a huge chip by the MW media.
The new-look, restructured Mountain West has three new football programs in the mix this year, but for the third consecutive season the Lobos were picked to finish in the league's cellar.
"But if you want different results, you had better change how you do things," Davie said. "That's what I've talked to our team about. We had better change everything that has been done from A to Z, if we don't want the same results. And that's what we've been trying to do."

SGS Filton retain Sedbergh Tens title
Bristol Apprentices storm to tournament victory
SGS Filton College bounced back from a disappointing first round exit at the Rosslyn Park Sevens to retain their Sedbergh Tens title in style.
Led by Captain, Monty Reed, and Player of the Tournament, Nick Carpenter, the Bristol-based college ran riot, scoring 241 points in just six games of twelve minutes per-half.
In the group stage, SGS Filton recorded wins over Lancaster (58-0), Kirkham Grammar (57-7), Barnard Castle (29-5) and Blackrock School (29-10), before beating Brighton College 29-10 in the semi-final.
In the final, Rosslyn Park champions and host school Sedbergh were no match for a rampant Filton who ran out 39-0 winners to retain their crown, with Carpenter scoring a hat-trick.
Head Coach George Tavner was delighted with his team's performance, he said: "We had a bit of a setback last week at Rosslyn Park so for the players to bounce back and play like this shows everything about the character that exists within this group of players.
"What they achieved this weekend was a bit special and the manner in which they played made me very proud."
Filton embark on their annual Easter tour this week as they visit South Africa. For updates on the tour, follow @filtonrugby.

Overall goal & objectives of the WGWAP
The overall goal of the WGWAP is the conservation and recovery of the Western Gray Whale population.
Its specific objectives are:
- To provide independent scientific and technical advice to decision makers in industry, government and civil society with respect to the potential effects of human activities, particularly oil and gas development activities, on the Western Gray Whale population
- Co-ordinate research to: achieve synergies between various field programmes; minimise disturbance to Western Gray Whales (e.g. by avoiding overlap and redundancy of field research programmes); identify and mitigate potential risks associated with scientific research activities; and maximise the contributions of research to understanding the status and conservation needs of the Western Gray Whale population.
The WGWAP has been established to provide an independent review process and advice regarding the management of risks to the Western Gray Whales. Its main roles and responsibilities are:
- To focus on the conservation of western gray whales and related biodiversity
- To assess the status of the western gray whale population
- To provide advice and recommendations regarding research for the conservation of the whales
- To independently review Sakhalin Energy's plans and assessments, and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures implemented
- To provide independent scientific and technical advice to decision makers, governments and civil society concerning whales and related biodiversity conservation
- To coordinate research efforts on western gray whales and their habitat
- To increase global knowledge and understanding of western gray whale population and their habitat
The IUCN convened meetings between the WGWAP, Sakhalin Energy and other stakeholders provide an important mechanism of cooperation and collaboration between various stakeholders. Moreover, it provides a useful model of how business, scientists and the conservation community can work collectively to address environmental threats.
Who are the WGWAP?
The Panel includes 11 prominent international scientists from a broad range of scientific disciplines. Panel members come from Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States (see Panel Member Bios)

I was getting some nasty hair algae after trying to fatten up some new fish. PO4 was around 0.08 and that was with Chemipure Elite in the media basket. After a few days by phosphates went down to 0.03 and last night I registered 0.00 using the Hanna low range checker. CUC is destroying the algae now and it take about 3 days before I get a noticeable green/brown film on the glass. This seems to be a great value. Given the size of my tank and the rate the GFO is being used up, this is pretty affordable way to control phosphates. I highly recommend. Great product By Ourisland42 on 2/20/2014 Ourisland42 would recommend this product to a friend I would definitely recommend. It is working !! My phosphates are going down, finally.... Excellent service with BRS, as always! Phosphate Removal By Matt on 2/17/2014 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Works great at controlling phosphates. Also, works well in a media reactor as I use it with the TLF media reactor with a maxi-jet pump. Must have for any reef tank By James on 1/24/2014 James would recommend this product to a friend I've been using the brs standard gfo and this gfo makes a huge difference. I couldn't keep my phosphate under .06 with the standard stuff. Now I've got it down to .01 in only the first week of using this product! I'm very happy even though it's a little more money. Must buy! By devon on 1/9/2014 devon would recommend this product to a friend i really love this media, i have seen drastic changes while using this. i tends to last long than the cheaper stuff. less dust is a big plus. i must say though what until it is on sales thats when i order it. phosphate killer By Theodore on 1/5/2014 Theodore would recommend this product to a friend This gfo took my phosphates from .5 to undetectable . Amazing stuff now my corals are way more colorful and polyps are fully extended. Couldn't be happier with this product. Excellent fast phosphate killer! By George on 12/28/2013 George would recommend this product to a friend BRS' standard gfo is amazing... but this... this takes it to another level. My square 60 gallon salt tank was fill to the bring of slimy green algae. My brother then took this stuff... put it into my two reactors i recently bought and within a week the green disappeared. After 2 months, the water has remained crystal clear. The best time to get this is during their sale which is what we did during their black friday sale. Can't go wrong. Double the power of the standard stuff no joke! GFO that makes a differemce By terminator on 12/2/2013 terminator would recommend this product to a friend I have used many different types of phosphate removal products and for cost, quanity and effectiveness you can't beat the high capacity version of this GFO. There are a few other products that are as effective but cost more and you get less of it. Why spend more? This is the only practical GFO to use, hands down Tank is looking better after only days By Geo on 11/20/2013 Geo would recommend this product to a friend Our LFS ran out of RowaPhos and it was going 3 weeks, I tried other gfos but they didn't do it, too much dust or they would just clump and not tumble, gave the high capacity a go and my tank is already looking better. I believe I will be sticking w this from here out. works great By jim on 11/18/2013 jim would recommend this product to a friend ez using, little dust.starts cleaning real fast. Great Product By MICHAELO on 9/30/2013 MICHAELO would recommend this product to a friend Very well constructed and easy to change canisters, mounting option is cool. Makes use of space and utilizes 2 separate elements for individual change, Bottom line is, it makes life much easier! If you have a need for these elements then you have a need for this item. Saves space in the sump By GainesvilleReefer on 8/8/2013 GainesvilleReefer would recommend this product to a friend By using this over the regular GFO I was able to mix with the ROX carbon and fit in one reactor.

FCC announces plan to protect access to an open Internet
During a speech at the Brookings Institution this morning, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski outlined a proposal for explicit rules that would protect consumer access to an open Internet. The proposed rules would preserve "network neutrality," preventing broadband-based Internet providers from discriminating against certain services, applications, or viewpoints on the Web, and requiring providers to be transparent about their network management practices.
To some it may seem like an esoteric issue, but this boils down to protecting the Internet as an engine for innovation, economic growth, social discourse, and the free flow of ideas. Preserving non-discriminatory access also has the virtue of protecting consumer choice, ensuring that an Internet access provider cannot block fair access to any application provider on the Internet. We could not be more pleased to see Chairman Genachowski take up this mantle, and we look forward to working with the Commission as it finalizes its plans.
The Internet was built as an open platform, which means that the creators of new services and content do not need to seek permission from carriers or pay special fees to be seen online. This "innovation without permission" effect has allowed countless individuals and companies to offer new applications to the world, businesses large and small to open shop online, and anyone with an Internet connection to share their opinions freely in the marketplace of ideas. It's not until recently, in the wake of dogmatic deregulation, that this open environment has come under threat.
If consumers had a wide choice of broadband service providers, preserving an open Internet might not be such a critical issue. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans have few (if any) choices in selecting a provider. As a result, these providers are in a position to influence whether and how consumers and producers can use the on-ramps to the Internet -- and we've already seen several examples of discriminatory actions or threats that impair openness.
Allowing a handful of broadband carriers to determine what people see and do online would fundamentally undermine the features that have made the Internet such a success, and could permanently compromise the Internet as a platform for the free exchange of information, commerce, and ideas. By outlining explicit open Internet requirements, the FCC is seeking to prevent this from happening.
There's no doubt that running an Internet service provider is a complicated business. As we've said in the past, we believe that providers should have the flexibility to manage traffic congestion and malware on their networks in non-discriminatory ways. They should not, however, be in the anti-competitive business of picking winners and losers. For example, carriers should not be allowed to degrade access to competitors' web sites, to favor access to a corporate partner or their own value-added services to the detriment of a Mom and Pop shop, or to discriminate against protected political speech.
The Internet was designed to maximize user choice and competition, and we've all benefited immensely as a result. Today the FCC took an important step in protecting that environment and ensuring that the Internet remains a platform for innovation, economic growth, and free expression.

Amen, brother (or sister). I could not agree more. Keep the Internet Free!ReplyDelete
Dennis Kneale and Bill Griffeth of CNBC's "Power Lunch" just interviewed Markham Erickson from the Open Internet Coalition on this issue. The hosts offered some rather scathing comments, including the idea that "Google also runs one of the largest private fiber-optic networks in the world" and that it "sounds a little inconsistent" that the FCC isn't proposing open-access rules for private networks. That's a rather weak argument if you ask me, but it's an argument that has now been thrown out into public view on CNBC.ReplyDelete
Erickson did a good job of defending the coalition's position, although I'm not sure how much leverage the net neutrality defenders get from what he proclaimed to be the "important" point that the government funded ARPANET 40 years ago.
Nice blog post on this topic.
The FCC newly appointed chairman didn't explain some real key issues that were later asked at the meeting :ReplyDelete
a) why some applications are denied by most Telecoms and cable Co's ? like Skype, Google Voice and others ?
b) why make wireless and wireline distinctions ? to divide all and get a better deal for the telcos and cable Co's? why divide the issue in 2 ? to divide the Internet and data in 2 categories is destructive, why do it ? something here smells like bad....
c) Genachowski talks about " Network Management " and "Premium Services", and we know that the devil is in the details, let's wait for the full text ...
d) no one addressed the issue of HTML 5 and open video standards, because like so many people are saying , there seems to be a push to "force-feed" all with Flash and a few other proprietary solutions,so what about these vital video issue ?
e) in the Monopoly section, why did the FCC , FTC and the other Federal Competition and Monopoly Offices , as well as the Obama-Biden Administration at the White House , didn't stand up to the biggest proprietary database ,Oracle, buying the biggest open-source database MySQL ? this is absurd in a free enterprise society , why no one in the FTC and FCC , etc., said anything ? why is only the EU objecting to this monopoly ?
In essence and in my opinion, I don't believe anything until we all see the final text of the Legislation,it takes just one little sentence or 2 comas to create a loophole big enough to drive a "Monopoly Cruiser" right trough it, so let's see the final Legislation text , until then it's just D.C. talk and Media show at the Brookings Institution, and this is very important work.
Thank you very much for the post.
Greed is the mother of most social conflicts... either we learn to let go, or our descendants will pay the consequences. Internet is really shifting some very established paradigms, because eventhough the majority of the web 2.0 comments are nonsense (product of so many years of pop tv, mcdonalds and coca shitola), many new ideas are getting impulse without the usual blockage of the older systems.ReplyDelete
It's heartening to see this kind of posts, especially coming from one of the greatest minds of our times... Vint Cerf... Cheers to the Open web.
Great news! Let's keep the skies, roads, beaches and spectrums open to all!ReplyDelete
Vint, we all know that Google has spent millions of dollars lobbying for such regulations -- and large corporations do not do such things out of the goodness of their hearts. The truth is that Google is attempting to have the Internet regulated in ways that help its bottom line. And the public interest? Corporations do not receive capital from investors so that they can look after the public interest rather than investors' interest, and this is true in this case too. The fact is that this regulation would harm the public interest by raising the price of Internet access and reducing competition, limiting consumer choice. An "open" Internet? Open to Google, perhaps, but not open to innovation by ISPs or to future companies that might one day compete with Google.ReplyDelete
It's pretty funny that Google is going on about Net Neutrality, when they show no such neutrality to users of the Linux OS. Despite the fact that Google could not exist without it, they do not see fit to develop a Linux port of their Chrome browser, and no Linux browser plugin for Google Earth (no idea why that would even be difficult to do, browser plugins should be cross platform by definition, no?).ReplyDelete
the Internet must stay open and free!ReplyDelete
The argument for regulation in this article is founded upon an entirely false premise: that users have no choice of high speed Internet providers. This is simply false. Even in our very small town of 28,000 people, there are the telephone company, the cable company, three cellular providers, 4 WISPs, plus a dozen DSL providers who provide alternative service over the telephone company's lines.ReplyDelete
The fact is that regulation is not needed. Why, then, is the FCC Chairman proposing it? Because powerful corporate lobbyists -- mostly funded by Google -- are spending big bucks in DC to push legislation and regulation that favors their corporate masters.
If this regulation goes through, watch for higher prices, poorer quality of service, and fewer choices (because the regulation will destroy many alternative providers, leaving a duopoly or monopoly in many places where one previously had a choice).
Interesting text. You have a nice blog. Keep it up!ReplyDelete
There are far more reasons to manage a network than just blocking malware. There is a very legitimate reason to priorize some applications over others when we are protecting low bandwidth applications from high bandwidth applications.ReplyDelete
The FCC's 5th principle must distinguish between reasonable discrimination and unreasonable discrimination.
Unfortunately, Ed Markey's 3rd attempt to regulate the Internet prohibits any sort of network prioritization which neuters the Internet. There is no question that the Internet and especially the access portion (broadband) of the Internet needs smart network prioritization.
Since you've publicly praised congressman Ed Markey in the past for being someone who "understood Net Neutrality", then you seem to be endorsing Ed Markey's position which mandates that the Internet must not permit prioritization. Can you please clarify this and explain your position on Markey's bill?
I have an interesting question, and I am hoping someone can please answer this:ReplyDelete
Will net-neutrality laws allow individuals who file-share copyrighted material, more leeway in doing so?
As most of you know, Comcast, Charter, AT&T, etc are internet providers who have been known to cut, or threaten to cut, a users internet service if the file-sharing continues. However, the reason such actions occur are do to third party interventions such as the BSA, who send letters to ISP's urging them to take action on such individuals or face charges of facilitating illegal activity.
Under the Digital Millennium Act it is implied that internet providers are not liable for actions taken by those using their services. For this reason, it seems odd to me that these letters are sent out.
Will these new net-neutrality principles facilitate illegal file sharing? Or, in other words, will these principle allow those users of the internet the freedom of transferring data of their choosing?
Hello All:ReplyDelete
I wish I had all the high speed Internet access options apparently available to Tech Guru. Most people have two primary options: DSL and cable modem service. What passes as 3G cellular does not reach a 786 bits per second threshold, nor typically do satellite options. We may get to a point where wireless and maybe even broadband over powerline offers competition, but not now.
The ISPs own their equipment and should be free to service customers to mutual benefit.ReplyDelete
Google is advocating the FCC revoke some of this ISP-customer freedom. As an ISP customer, I oppose Net Neutrality on economic grounds (my ISP will lose some ability to innovate and to act on its own judgment), and on political grounds, as I uphold the principle of property rights.
I urge casual fans of Net Neutrality to consider its full implications, if you have not done so already.
I agree with TechGuru's comment which succinctly said: "Google is attempting to have the Internet regulated in ways that help its bottom line."
Beneath the veneer of a debate on "openness", Net Neutrality is a matter of RIGHTS; specifically, an attempt to infringe on ISPs' (and therefore YOUR) right to use your property as you see fit.
Man, I do not understand why someone wouldn't want the Internet to be totally free, how about we say all "traffic is created equal"! Can someone please explain the other side to me? Oh, yes, please take away my freedom - where can I sign up?? Time Warner - owns AOL right, so let me guess AOL search is super fast on their networks, Google, Bing not so much. Dough!! People, get a clue!!! Damn, sometimes I feel like I am taking crazy pills.ReplyDelete

They are trying to shut down the internet access to the people who can't afford to buy medicene in USA at the drug company cost. I can buy Plavix from Canada for $79 a hundred and pay $400 plus for 90 in USA. Just one of many. The drugs come from Germany or different foreign country. I have been told American drug companies own the foreign business in Germany etc. at a lower cost for labor and sell the drugs lower to foreign country but bring back to us and expect same out ragious price. If this is true it is a lousy way for American drug companies to do business with the American people and if your congress & senator's are for the internet shut down then we must find someone to fill their position who is for the people and not the drug company's increased wealth. Thank you for listening & let your congressmen and senators know your feelings.

Mont Harmon Junior High School's Family, Career and Community Leaders of America students attended a National conference in Anaheim California to compete for the FCCLA National Competition. The hands-on event is held every year. Students who excelled at regional STAR events competitions held in Salt Lake continued on to California. Â
There were 180 students and their advisers who represented the State of Utah at the conference. Mont Harmon had an excellent showing and the following FCCLA members walked away with the medals in the following categories:
Madison Spencer, ninth grade, bronze medal in Applied Technology; Leah Brandt, ninth grade, took a bronze in Environmental Ambassador; Tanner Richardson eighth grade, received a bronze for " Promote and Publicize"; Alyissa Stephanoff eighth grade, received a silver medal in the category of "Chapter Showcase Display"; while Kaylee Hoyt, eighth grade, took silver in Recycle and Design; and Melissa Wood, ninth grade, captured a silver medal in Career Investigation.
While at the conference, students experienced leadership participation, listened to keynote speakers and also attended workshops in various areas of interest. They also took time off in between events to go to Disneyland and to play at Huntington Beach. Mrs. Larson, FCCLA adviser, said, It was very good to see our kids so well behaved and respectful. They were on time, well prepared with their projects, dressed and acted great. Thanks so much for supporting us with this dream."
With the help of Mont Harmon, FCCLA members from Utah finished with 21 Gold Medals, 62 Silver Medals, and 35 Bronze Medals.

Except that she's strictly wrong.
Poetry, by definition, is an expression of thought placed into non-gramatical line and meter. Though there are guidelines, THERE ARE NO ACTUAL RULES. So when you go around a thread and keep telling people that their poetry is wrong, I'm going to stand up against you. If using a name you hate will match the "proper" rules of what YOU define as a haiku (again, poetry is defined by the author, not the reader - that's where meaning comes in), then I'm going to call you that. Don't tell me you ain't even mad, because you're a shitty-ass mod if you're going around stopping people from having fun just because you have the power to. I'm talking about Haikus, The Hill, and everything else you've deemed as "unfit for fun" for everybody else, based off of YOUR definitions and not theirs. I'm not going to actively try to piss you off so long as you stop being such a fucking fun-tyrant.
He might not LIKE being called Sam, but he's not asking you to ban people over it. We grin and bear it, because it's brikwars, and it'S OKAY TO LOSE. Shit dude, even in most of your battles you always field the vastly superior army with super-beefed up stats so that victory is assured. Sometimes things not going your specific way is fun. And if you keep silencing everyone else for having it, then Brikwars ain't what it used to be. Seriously, you even banned Warhead for TROLLING IN THUNDERDUMB. You're drunk with power, dude. And not the good kind of drunk, but the throwing-up-all-over-the-sink drunk, and we're probably going to draw on you with a marker once it's over.
I'm not going around banning people for the number of syllables that a Haiku they posted has. Like, me talking about a Haiku, that isn't the same as me using mod powers on people for doing a Haiku one way or another. The only mod thing that happened in here was I banned you for something you knew you were going to get banned for before you even posted it anyway. I don't even like banning you, I just dislike being called that even more than I dislike banning you so that's why I do it. Almost every time you argue with me you say that so it forces me to ban you so I'm afraid you're under the impression that arguing with me = ban when it does not, I'm just banning you for saying that word, not everything else you said. You can even insult me if you feel like it and I won't ban you for it, you just can't say that one word.
I haven't banned anyone for calling him Sam because he hasn't asked me to, so duh that hasn't happened yet so I don't know why you're complaining about that because it never happened.
By the way, I lose more often than I win. The only battles I played where I used the crazy OP Assyrians and straight-up won were in 2009, if you care to check the record. Later battles with the Assyrians where I won were either forum battles not hosted by me or they were ones where my participation didn't include use of their signature Heavy Laser Rifles. The most recent use of those was in Piltogg's attack for the Head Separator part 3 where he succeeded in killing most of the Assyrians anyway and he got the Head Separator, so that doesn't even count. But that is all beside the point anyway because I have discussed before, and I am pretty sure you read about this, that I have moved away from the Assyrians in general since late 2011 because I discovered that they weren't an extinct culture after all and because of their OP guns.
Regarding Warhead, the last time I banned him was because he directly asked me to ban him, and he is unbanned, so I'm not sure why he hasn't returned especially since he requested for me to ban him. Before that, yeah I banned like 8 people for King of the Hill shit in my thread in Thunderdumb but I didn't stop Colette from making a new King of the Hill thread which still exists in there if people want to go and post in it, just not my thread.

|Presley Named SoCon Player of the Week, Month
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Monday, 11 October 2010 20:25
For the third time in five games this season, Appalachian State University quarterback DeAndre Presley is the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.The latest honor recognizes Presley for his performance in Saturday's 34-31 win over Elon, in which the junior accounted for 374 yards of total offense and three touchdowns.
Presley completed 14-of-19 passes without an interception for 204 yards and a touchdown and ran 23 times for 170 yards and two scores in Saturday's win over the 19th-ranked Phoenix. His interception-free performance gives him 118 pass attempts this season and 122 overall (dating back to the 2009 season opener) without being picked off while his touchdown gallops of 53 and 44 yards were the longest runs of his career.
In his seventh career start, Presley surpassed the 300-yard mark in total offense for the fourth time, moving into a tie for fifth in school history with Bake Baker (1994-97).
The SoCon has also announced that Presley was named the league's Offensive Player of the Month for September. In four starts last month, he totaled 1,176 yards of offense and accounted for 13 touchdowns. His sterling September was highlighted by ASU's season-opening 42-41 win at Chattanooga when he totaled 365 yards of offense and four touchdowns and engineered the Mountaineers' comeback from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit.
For the season, the junior leads the SoCon and ranks secod nationally in points responsible for (20.4 per game), leads the SoCon and ranks third nationally in passing efficiency (170.42 rating) and ranks fifth nationally with 310.0 yards of total offense per game. He was also recognized as the SoCon Player of the Week for his efforts in ASU's season-opening win at Chattanooga and the Mountaineers' triumph at Samford on Sept. 25.
Presley and top-ranked Appalachian (5-0, 3-0 SoCon) return to action on Saturday when they host The Citadel (2-4, 0-3 SoCon). Kickoff for the rare night game at Kidd Brewer Stadium is set for 6 p.m.

DawnSCHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairEffective, Lighter ConditionerI truly love this product line. It is the best I've ever used. This line of products does not leave a build up on my hair even after several consecutive uses. My hair is brunette, long and slightly coarse with highlights- somewhat over processed. I use this conditioner after most shampoos, when I air dry my hair or lightly blow dry and use the curling iron to create some waves. It keeps my hair soft, shiny and "bouncy." For me, this conditioner is a bit too light to use with a blowout and flat iron, so I use the fortifying mask instead. The fragrance is light and clean with some subtle cedar undertones (that's how I perceive it anyway). Not offensive and doesn't interfere with perfume, though I haven't really worn other fragrances since I started using these products, but I prefer to keep it light. I can't stand when my hair feels weighed down, especially after I've just washed it, and this shampoo, conditioner and mask do not do that to my hair. I have been using these products for about six months, and they've done well through the winter, and even now that it's getting warmer and more humid.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

The "Bad Breath Guru" Visits PhoenixThursday, January 28th, 2010
Dr. Harold Katz, also known as the "Bad Breath Doctor or the "Bad Breath Guru", toured the country testing people for halitosis. When Dr. Katz tests people's bad breath, he uses a device called the 'halimeter'. A score above 100 means that someone likely has halitosis. A person who has a score under 100 means that their breath is fairly fresh. Many people were relieved when they found out that they had low scores on the halimeter.
Unfortunately, it's hard for a person to smell his or her own breath. Blowing in one's own hand is not a way you can really test how bad your breath is. According to Dr. Katz, he says "it's a good way to smell your hand." So, how does one try to smell his or her own breath? Dr. Katz says that if you lick the back of your hand, allow it to dry, you can smell if you have halitosis. Allegedly, the halitosis-causing bacteria will remain on the back of your hand, thus letting you know that you might have bad breath.
All in all, Phoenix passed the "Bad Breath Test", since Dr. Katz couldn't find anyone with dragon breath! That means that the Phoenicians are "kissable", just in the nick of time for Valentine's Day.

Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome) is an disease that leads to the development of dilated and fragile blood vessels, including arteriovenous malformations in the lungs (PAVMs). We hypothesize that the genetically-determined abnormality in the blood vessels of HHT patients leads to alteration in the concentrations or activity of several proteins in the blood stream. We propose to take blood samples from patients at defined times in order to study changes in blood protein levels and activity

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
With the seconds ticking off the clock and a chance to advance to the 3A quarterfinals on the line, Shelby Cornforth found herself in a familiar spot with the ball in her hands.
The Carbon High center got the ball with eight seconds left and hit a hook shot in the paint that bounced around the rim before falling in helping the Lady Dinos to scratch out a 35-33 win over a pesky Stansbury team on Saturday night..
It all happened so fast, Cornforth and other teammates were still in amazement with the result.
"It just went in," said Cornforth after the game. "As soon it went through the basket I heard the crowd cheer really loud."
"It was win or go to overtime," said CHS head coach Ted Bianco. "Shelby hit the hook shot for us and it was big for her to do that despite struggling in the game."
Stansbury proved to be a difficult matchup for the Lady Dinos as both teams struggled to get things going on offense through much of the first half. Stansbury took an early lead and held onto it taking an 18-17 lead into halftime.
In the second half, the Lady Dinos began making shots with Giovanna Chiara and Shailee Croasmun leading an 8-0 run helping get their largest lead of the game at 25-18.
Stansbury continued to stay in the game adding their own 6-0 run late in the third quarter helping to cut the deficit to 27-24 heading into the fourth quarter.
Carbon High's Katie Basinger stole the ball and got a fast break basket to extend the lead back to seven points.
After Stansbury tied the game at 31-31, Chiara got a rebound off a missed Carbon shot and put it back up for a basket giving the Lady Dinos a 33-31 lead with 3:13 left.
"Giovanna is a workhorse for us on the boards and getting those key putbacks on misses," Bianco said.
Cornforth missed two free throws that could have extended the lead and Stansbury's Kallie Stewart capitalized by hitting two free throws to tie the game at 33-33 with 2:25 left.
Both teams were unable to take advantage of scoring opportunities as they combined to go scoreless over the next 2:20.
While Cornforth had struggled early in the game, Chiara said she knew the ball was in the right hands in the end.
"Shelby pulled through for us and made the big shot," Chiara said.
Chiara led a balanced scoring attack for the Lady Dinos with a team-high 10 points. Cornforth added eight points, Croasmun had seven, Basinger finished with six and Jordan Scoggins chipped in four points.
The Lady Dinos (16-6, 8-2 Region 12) will take on Dixie High (15-7, 7-3 Region 9) on Thursday at 5:50 p.m. at Weber State University. Dixie upset #1 seed Juan Diego 51-39 earlier on Saturday.
Bianco said the team will to continue to work on improving a defense that is ranked second in class 3A and will be a key for the Lady Dinos heading into the quarterfinals.
"Everything's on the line now. It's win or go home," Bianco said.

Jim was born Oct. 1, 1939, to the late John R. "Buck" and Ruth Bingham Darnell of Rabun Gap. He was a member of the class of 1957 at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School and served in the U.S. Army. After 33 1/2 years at Burlington Industries as a supervisor in the dye department, Jim returned to school at North Georgia Technical College and received his degree in small engine repair. He worked at Amrine Equipment & Rentals until his recent illness. He was co-owner of Clayton Flower Bed, where he brought smiles to many with his personal deliveries of flowers, his smile and hugs. He loved and was very active with the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee Alumni Center and particularly the Heritage Center. His favorite place in the world was at the alumni center where the beauty of his handiwork is very evident. He was a member of the Rabun County Board of Selective Services and a member of Trout Unlimited as well as the American Legion Post 220. He was a member of Clayton Baptist Church.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Virginia "Jenny" Darnell; and three brothers, George, David and Freddie Darnell.
In addition to his wife, Jim is survived by: his daughter, Tina Ivemeyer and husband John of Snellville, and his son Greg and wife Tracy of Tifton; grandchildren, Bailey and Abi Ivemeyer, Tori Darnell of Athens, Lawson Darnell of Tifton and Josie, Dalton and Anslee Jones, all of Tifton; brothers, Bill Darnell of Fresno, Calif., Frank Darnell and Reid Darnell, both of Clayton, and Wayne Darnell of Macon; and sisters, Becky Cannon and Diane Stowe, both of Clayton, Mary Ramey of Rabun Gap and Patti Gowens of Loganville.
Funeral services were held July 26 at Clayton Baptist Church with the Revs. Joey Thompson and Ray Conner officiating. Burial followed in the Darnell Family Cemetery off Blue Ridge Gap Road, with Tim McClure and Jim Nixon officiating.
Flowers are welcomed. Donations also can be made to the Sid Weber Memorial Cancer Fund; or to the RGNS Alumni Association, 339 Nacoochee Drive, Rabun Gap, GA 30568 in memory of Jim Darnell.
Beck Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. An online guestbook is available at http://www.beckfuneralhome.com.

The Price City Police Department is warning members of the community that they should never send or wire money to individuals who solicit funds over the telephone or through the Internet.
During the last few weeks, an old scam has resurfaced and several community members have become victims.  In the scam, the victim receives a telephone call from a man claiming to be either a grandson of the victim or the grandson's lawyer. The caller tells the victim that the grandson was at fault in an automobile accident in Canada and needs money for damage repair, bail or medical expenses.  The victim is asked to wire the money to someone in another country, (the Dominican Republic in the recent cases).
In some cases the man calls multiple times requesting more money, further defrauding the victim.
Victims eventually come to realize that their grandson was never in an accident and that they are the victims of a scam. Â Some Price City residents have lost thousands of dollars, according to Capt. Kevin Drolc.
Once money is wired to a location outside the United States it is lost forever and law enforcement has little chance of identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator, Drolc said.
Community members are advised to thoroughly research any telephone call or email that solicits money. Â In the case of the recent scam, a telephone call to a previously known number of the grandson or other family members would quickly expose the request as a scam.
Here is some other helpful information concerning scams. Most of it comes from http://www.lookstoogoodtobetrue.com.
What to look for:
*Being asked for personal financial Information such as bank account information or credit card numbers via the telephone or by email.
*Using high-pressure sales tactics so as not to give you time to think about the information you are providing.
*Being told you have won a foreign lottery or sweepstakes.
*Being asked to help transfer funds out of a foreign country for a share of the money.
*Being offered help in repairing credit scores for an advanced fee.
*Receiving a counterfeit casher's check or money order for more than the cost of the item you are selling.
*Poor grammar in written or verbal communications.
Remain Vigilant:
*Take time to research any offers you receive over the Internet or telephone.
*Do not deposit any checks that are supposed winnings from a lottery or sweepstakes, especially if you didn't enter one.
*Do not provide your sensitive, personal, or financial information unless you know who you are dealing with.
*Consult friends and family or a trusted advisor before making any major financial decisions.
*Don't send money to someone you don't know.
*Read your bills and monthly statements regularly - on paper and online.
*Talk to your doctor before buying health products or signing up for medical treatments.
*When considering an investment, remember that there's no such thing as a sure thing.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Forget your preconceptions about the quality of an eatery staffed by students. Former chefs who staff the school say they'll put the Emerson Commons up against anywhere they've worked.
The food court that's connected to Buffalo PS 302, the Emerson School of Hospitality, is a bustling lunch stop on Chippewa Street between Delaware and Franklin. Different sections of the cafeteria-style line serve up hot sandwiches, cold cuts, pizza, quiche, and other specials. There's also a long line of soups (including some excellent chili), a salad bar, and desserts.
Students who work there have already completed their first two years and use the food court to learn valuable skills that make them very employable. Beyond that, teacher James Malley says they constantly hear from employers that the most valuable thing the students learn there is the work ethic.
The school offers a different menu every day that you can look up on the website, so it's hard not to find something you like. Check it out and let us know where you want us to go next on Facebook and in the comments section below.

Preview: Temple vs. Indiana
Indiana made quick work of its first opponent in the NCAA Tournament, but Temple has established a reputation as a giant slayer. The two teams will square off in the Big Dance for the first time since 1994 when they meet in the quarterfinals of the East Regional in Dayton, Ohio on Sunday. The top-seeded Hoosiers never trailed against James Madison en route to an 83-62 win on Friday, shooting better than 50 percent for the fourth straight time in a NCAA Tournament game.
The ninth-seeded Owls, seeking their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2001, overcame their recent history of early exits in the NCAA Tournament with a 76-72 victory over North Carolina State. Atlantic-10 Player of the Year Khalif Wyatt led the way with 31 points forTemple, which went 5-3 against tournament teams in the regular season, and has defeated at least one top-10 opponent in each of the last five years. The winner of this contest will meet either fourth-seeded Syracuse or No. 12 California on Thursday in Washington, D.C.
TV: 2:45 p.m. ET, CBS
ABOUT TEMPLE (24-9): Wyatt went 12-for-14 from the foul line Friday, giving him 200 made free throws - breaking the single-season school record held by Hal Lear (1955-56). His sixth 30-point performance of the season was the best from an Owl in the NCAA Tournament since 1991 - and was made even more remarkable considering he had injured his left thumb after snagging it in a defender's jersey early in the second half. ''He's as tough a competitor as I've had an opportunity to coach,'' Temple's Fran Dunphy said following the game. ''He wants the moment.'' Wyatt has hit at least nine free throws in six straight games, going 62-for-71 over that stretch.
ABOUT INDIANA (28-6): The Hoosiers - the highest-scoring team remaining in the tournament - exceeded 80 points for the 19th time. Freshman Yogi Ferrell finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists Friday, becoming only the third Indiana player to reach those totals in a NCAA Tournament game (Keith Smart in 1987 and Tom Coverdale in 2003). "Yogi certainly got us going in a great direction with the way that he moved the ball ... he was able to find some great areas to attack," coach Tom Crean said following the game. Christian Watford scored nine points Friday, giving him 1,708 points for his career and moving him into 10th place on the school's all-time scoring list.
Indiana is 10-1 all-time as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Temple has nine wins as a No. 9 seed or lower, tied with Gonzaga for the most since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
Jordan Hulls is tied with Randy Wittman and Jeff Newton for the most games played (133) by a Hoosier.
PREDICTION: Indiana 86, Temple 77

By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
Last week the committee that is studying whether to close East Carbon High School and Helper Junior High met with parents, students and interested parties from both communities. At times the meetings were tense and in some cases they were down right uncomfortable.
That's because deciding whether or not to close a school hits so close to home for almost anyone, anywhere.
During the 14 years I worked for Granite School District in the 1970s and 1980s, the board of education there closed a number of schools. Each time one was proposed for closure and then was subsequently shut down, there were outcrys and concerns about students and their well being.
And rightly so.
A school district has an obligation to take care of students no matter what community they live in, no matter what socioeconomic background they come from and no matter what ethnic group they belong to. A districts main concern should always be the students and their education.
However, school districts also need to watch the bottom line. Public education is not like running a business, profits don't come from the black ink, but from the number of students that go through the system and succeed. But just the same, they need to look at costs and economies where they can.
At the meetings last week there was also a lot of concern for the communities involved. Schools are an integral part of any community, but even more so in very small towns. They help determine a lot of things, including whether people want to live in a particular area or not. Many who spoke at the meeting were concerned about the loss of community should the schools close, many other spoke of the economic impact a school closing would have on their town.
In both meetings, and I stayed for almost all of each, I didn't hear one citizen or official say that a school should be closed. No one I heard supported shutting down a building. Even the committee that was there to study the issue was non-committal, largely because they were there to study the facts at that point and not make decisions. However, it will be their job to make recommendations to the board of education, and that apparently will be done at the board meeting this Wednesday night.
Sometimes evaluating what is best for students and what is best for the bottom line come into direct opposition to each other. I remember one year when I was submitting my budget for my department to Granite's financial officer he told me, "I think everything you have asked for is perfectly legitimate. You have real needs for your department, there is no doubt. However, we only have so much money and when funds are limited, that money must go to the direct education of the students. So I can tell you right now, you are only going to get a fraction what I know you need."
I always told the people that worked in my department that if we made cars our product would be transportation. If we made widgets the product would be devices that did something. But when you work in education, the only product is students; hopefully students that will gain the skills and desire to go far in life.
According to the board president, Grady McEvoy, this will not be a long, drawn out affair. That is the best decision the school district could make. Leaving people in limbo about what is going to happen is bad enough, but even worse is making a decision and then drawing out the process is even worse. I remember it took two years to shut down one school in Granite; it was a painful and heart wrenching experience for all involved. The only thing I can think to compare it to is pulling a band aid off my hairy arm. It's best to do it quickly.
In the next two weeks those five members of the board of education will have one of the toughest decisions of their life to make if the committee recommends closing one or both schools. While no one at the meetings actually supported closing a school, there are a lot of people in the county in general who have voiced opinions that one school or another needs to be closed so that taxpayers money can be better spent. Most of those people see it as a purely economic decision that is as clear cut as buying a lower priced can of peas at the grocery store.
For those involved it is a much more emotional issue; an issue of community and belonging.
So, as with all decisions, the board will be wrong no matter what their choice is.
All of them will be wearing very uncomfortable shoes for awhile.

More children and teens than ever were reading in Watertown this summer.
Roswell P. Flower Memorial librarians saw 355 children and 115 teens sign up to dig into reading in the past three months, a record for both summer reading programs.
Ive heard a lot of people say that the program has not only kept them busy during the summer but also kept them reading, childrens librarian Ashley J. Pickett said.
The childrens program enrollment, which rose from 224 last year to 355 this year, grew despite the construction to restore the fountains and facade in the front of the building.
I couldnt believe it had been that great, Mrs. Pickett said. When we first opened registration, we had the inkling we would see some awesome numbers, but it just kept growing.
Children under 11 read 6,739 books this summer. She said word-of-mouth and trying to keep the librarys name out in the community helped to boost summer reading enrollment.
Teen librarian Amanda G. Tehonica said summer sign-ups rose from 74 teens last year to 115 this year. On Thursday, she predicted more than 50 of them will get to attend the final pizza and zombie tag party this evening, which requires them to read 10 or more hours.
She said boosting the enrollment was hard work. Its easy for parents to bring their kids or force them to come, she said. Its much harder to draw teens into the library. She credits programs about forensic science and zombies for attracting the 12-and-older crowd.
The teens who have tracked their reading racked up more than 3,000 hours by Thursday afternoon, compared with 1,549 hours last year. Im already thinking ahead to next summer and how to top this trend, Ms. Tehonica said.
