Special Report: Economic Recovery Bill Provides Social Security with Resources to Help Americans
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Among its provisions are one-time payments to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries, as well as funding to help the agency address critical needs.
Social Securitys Online Services Continue to Sweep Accolades
Social Security's online services have earned the highest overall score in the most recent e-Government Satisfaction Index. The index also gave three of Social Security's applications the highest scores in government.
In a separate survey, Nextgov, a website devoted to technology and the federal government, listed www.socialsecurity.gov as one of the top five federal websites in its review of best online practices.
The federal government's overall score is 75 out of 100. By comparison, Social Security's score was 79. Our Retirement Estimator scored 89. And the online Retirement Application and Medicare Extra Help Application each scored 87.
To learn more about the American Customer Satisfaction Index and how Social Security's services scored, read the press release on the subject www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/onlineservices-accolades-pr.htm

These days, it's not always easy to find employees who are both satisfied with their employers and enjoy what they're doing. But such workplaces do exist. And one of them is Social Security.
Equal Opportunity Magazine named Social Security the top government employer. The magazine asked readers to name the public and private sector employers for whom they would most like to work or that they believe would provide a positive working environment for members of minority groups.
The agency also received high marks from its employees in the 2008 Federal Human Capital Survey. The survey focused on employee perceptions regarding critical areas of their work life, areas that drive employee satisfaction, commitment and, ultimately, retention in the workforce. Social Security received especially high marks from its employees for Job Satisfaction and Leadership and Knowledge Management, ranking among the top 10 federal agencies in both categories.
"President Obama is calling new generations of Americans to public service," said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. "They can look upon this survey and know that a career at Social Security is the right choice.

TDOT working to repair potholes in Kingsport
Kingsport, Tenn. - If you've traveled along Interstate 81 just below Kingsport recently, then you know how difficult it is to dodge all the potholes.
But that problem will soon be fixed. Crews have started repaving the south bound lanes this week between the Kingsport exit and the Jearoldstown exit. That road will be shut down to one lane. The good news is most of the work will be done at night.
David Lewis, TDOT District Superintendent, tells us the pavement gets worn out over time and starts cracking. When gets water under it, it freezes and that pushes up the pavement, creating potholes.
Once the southbound lanes are complete, the crews will begin repaving the north bound lanes.
Motorists are asked to slow down in that work zone.

Sorry About That
Sorry about the site hiccup yesterday, I have no idea what happened...but I took it as a sign that I needed to upgrade the site immediately. A kind reader volunteered to help me and we took advantage of the downtime by upgrading the site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7...the upgrade before the upgrade. Now I need to make the comment and theme modifications. Hopefully by Tuesday, the actual new site will be up and running, but I'm sure there will be some hiccups along the way.
So expect the site to be up and down periodically throughout the weekend. Feel free to leave comments when it is up. Thanks for your patience and enjoy the holiday weekend.
Cubs Assign Eight to Mesa Solar Sox (AFL)
Wed, 08/29/2012 - 6:12pm — Arizona Phil
The Arizona Fall League rosters have been announced (subject to change), and eight Cubs have been assigned to the Mesa Solar Sox.
Five MLB clubs are associated with each of the six AFL teams, and while Cubs players are always assigned to the Mesa Solar Sox (the Cubs are the Solar Sox "host team" because the Solar Sox play their home games at the Cubs Spring Training stadium at HoHoKam Park), the other four teams vary from year to year.
This year, players from the Dodgers, Astros, Tigers, and Orioles will be assigned to the Solar Sox.
Each of the five teams assigns four pitchers (at least one of whom must be capable of being a starting pitcher) and three position players (specific positions to be filled by each team are determined in a conference call beftween the five MLB clubs farm directors in mid-August).
In addition, clubs can assign additional players (regardless of position) to the AFL team's "Taxi Squad," meaning the player can only be active for games on Wednesday and Saturday (and he has to drive a cab on the other days... just kidding). There are four types of players that MLB clubs typically assign to the AFL.
One is a player eligible for selection in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft who is "on the bubble" as far as being added to his club's 40-man roster by the 11/20 deadline.
Another is a very talented young player who is being "fast-tracked" through the system.
Then there are guys who are not eligible for the Rule 5 Draft but who are under consideration for an NRI to Spring Training with the big club.
And finally there are players who were promoted to AA mid-season and who need to more time at the AA time (the AFL is equivalent to AA).
Javier Baez, SS
Dae-Eun Rhee, RHP
Zac Rosscup, LHP
Rubi Silva, IF-OF
Nick Struck, RHP
Matt Szczur, OF
Tony Zych, RHP
Kevin Rhoderick, RHP
Rhee, Rosscup, and Struck would be the three AFL Cubs who are eligible for selection in the December 2012 Rule 5 Draft who will get a chance to show that they should be added to the 40-man roster.
Baez is the prospect getting fast-tracked.
Roderick and Zych are AA relievers who will have a chance to show whether they should get an NRI to Spring Training next February with the big club.
And Szczur and Silva are guys who received mid-season promotions from Hi-A (Daytona) to AA (Tennessee) and who have had their ups & downs at that level.
Diamondback Big Leaguers Take Toll on AZL Cubs
Wed, 08/29/2012 - 12:24am — Arizona Phil
Josh Collmenter threw four innings of shutout ball with six strikeouts (3/3 GO/FO, 54 pitches - 37 strikes) and Willie Bloomquist punched an RBI single and later scored to cap a three-run 4th, as the AZL Diamondbacks built up an early 5-0 lead and then hung-on to defeat the AZL Cubs 6-4 in Arizona League action tonight at HoHoKam Park in Mesa.
Collmenter (ulcers) and Bloomquist (back stiffness) are assigned to the AZL Diamondbacks while on minor league rehab assignnments from the parent club.
Garrett Schlecht had two singles, a double (line-drive into the RF corner), and a triple (line-drive into the right-center gap), and scored three runs to lead a Cub attack that fell just short, as the tying run was left-stranded in the bottom of the 9th.
RHP Dillon Maples got the start for the Cubs and labored through a 24-pitch 1st inning that saw two unearned runs score. He did not go back out to the mound in the top of the 2nd.
The D'backs two-run 1st was set-up by a two-base throwing error by Maples himself (he picked-up the ball after a bad bunt and proceeded to throw the ball past 1st baseman Ben Carhart and into RF), but in spite of the error the young right-hander was actually (twice) one strike away from escaping the inning without any damage, but he was unable to get an out on a two-out 3-2 pitch to consecutive hitters (first batter walked, second batter grounded a two-run single that took a lucky bounce off the second base bag before ending-up in short left-centerfield).
Maples once again had good success with his near-unhittable breaking ball, but he had trouble commanding his fastball and so he was constantly pitching from behind in the count throughout the inning. (In his last start on Thursday, Maples was removed from the game after walking four batters in the 2nd inning, after he had easily retired the first four batters he faced).
The D'backs plated three more runs off RHP Tony York (making his first appearance in more than two months) in the 4th to establish a five-run lead, but despite Schlecht's big night, the Cubs could just not come back quite far enough by the time out #27 was registered.
Shawon Dunston Jr was hit in the ribs by a pitch in the bottom of the 5th, and left the game after running the bases. He was last seen bent over and possibly having difficulty breathing, and he appeared to be in some considerable pain. The Cubs cannot afford to lose Dunston (who is probably the best all-around player still left in Mesa) as they head into the AZL playoffs.
With tonight's Cub loss, the AZL Athletics clinched both 1st place in the AZL East and the league's best record, insuring the A's of home-field advantage throughout the AZL playoffs (both games, and that's presuming the A's win the first one).
Meanwhile, the Cubs will be the AZL Wild Card team. and will play both of their games on the road (presuming they beat the A's on Thursday and advance to the Championship Game on Friday).
The AZL Cubs could still finish with the league's best overall record (including playoff games), but that's only if they can beat the A's at Papago Park and then win the Championship Game.
Fri, 08/31/2012 - 12:04pm —
Did I see that he played yesterday? Must be okay if so
JUMBO: No, Dunston did not play last night (Thursday).
He was injured in the game at HoHoKam Park on Tuesday night (left the game after being hit in the ribs with a pitch), but that story (post) got deleted and so I re-posted it here as a comment (see above) because I do not have access to the system to create a story.
The Cubs did not play on Wednesday, and Dunston did not play in last night's AZL playoff game versus the A's.
BTW, some of the AZL Cubs will probably get promoted to Boise for the NWL playoffs that start next Tuesday, and Dunston was a virtual-lock to be one of therm before he got hurt.
AZLCubs Came, Saw, and Got Eliminated
The Athletics and the Rangers (who defeated the Dodgers 7-3 at Camelback Ranch in the other AZL semi-final playoff game last night) will meet in the AZL Championship Game tonight at Papago Park.
Renato Nunez was the offensive hero for the A's, driving-in five runs with an RBI single, an RBI triple, and a three-run HR.
Starting pitcher Vincent Voiro threw three shutout innings with six strikeouts to lead A's pitchers.
Trevor Gretzky doubled and singled and drove-in two runs and Carlos Penalver had three hits for the Cubs.
RHP Paul Blackburn got the start for the Cubs and took the loss, going three innings (37 pitches - 27 strikes) and allowing three runs on four hits (a single, a double, a triple, and a solo HR), plus a HBP and a WP. He struck out three and did not issue an walk.
Cubs top pitching prospect RHP Juan Carlos Paniagua relieved Blackburn and worked the 4th & 5th innings (33 pitches - 17 strikes), allowing one unearned run, one hit, and two walks, with one strikeout (the first batter he faced). Paniagua struggled to throw strikes in a 25-pitch 4th (his first inning of work), throwing 15 balls and only 10 strikes.
But Paniagua was gone by the time the A's unloaded in the 6th, tagging Carlos Martinez and Ethan Elias for seven runs (combined), on five hits (including two doubles), three walks, and two WP.
The game got a bit chippy in the bottom of the 8th when Cubs RHP Jin-Young Kim hit A's catcher Philip Pohl with a pitch (the third A's batter to get plunked in the game), prompting someone on the A's bench to yell "Just because you're getting your asses whipped doesn't mean you have to throw at his head." It looked like both benches were about to clear and maybe start brawling, but cooler heads prevailed and nothing further came of it.
Since I cannot access the system to post a story, this comment will have to suffice.
Fri, 08/31/2012 - 1:10pm —
Thanks, as always, Phil. Would you expect Juan Paniagua to get called up to Boise, now that his AZL days are over?
JACE: Yes.
Roster Moves
If the Cubs do recall Raley on or before 9/7, the "ten day rule" (where a player generally must remain on a minor league roster for at least ten days if he is sent to the minors by optional or outright assignment) won't apply because the Iowa Cubs' last scheduled game is/was 9/3 (all of the I-Cubs games in New Orleans this weekend have been canceled because of the hurricane, which is why Chris Rusin was sent to AA Tennessee to get work), and a player can be recalled when his minor league club's season is over even if he has not spent 10 consecutive days on Optional Assignment prior to the recall. (The other three cirumstances where a player can be recalled without regard to the "ten day rule" is if the player is recalled to replace another player on the 25-man roster who is placed on the DL, or if a player is recalled as the "26th man" for a doubleheader, or if a player who was on a minor league roster is optioned to the minors by his new club within 24 hours after being acquiired in a trade).
The Cubs could do it as a "Recalled - Not to Report" if they don't want Raley to phyically report to the MLB club (since he has been shut-down), but he would still get paid at the major league salary rate rather than the minor league rate if he is recalled (a difference of about $65K).
So the Cubs need to decide if retaining an extra minor league option year on Raley is worth $65K (plus MLB meal money for each day the Cubs are on the road). I would think it would be, even though Raley isn't exactly a top prospect.
BTW, the Cubs would need to recall Chris Rusin no later than 9/13 (when Rusin reaches his 19th day on Optional Assignment in 2012) if they don't want to burn one of his three minor league options. However, that apparently is not going to be an issue, because Rusin is supposed to start for the Cubs in Washington next Tuesday (9/4).
Also, Miguel Socolovich cannot be recalled by the Cubs until Sunday 9/2 because he was CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS on 8/23 before the Cubs optioned him to the minors and so the "ten day rule" DOES apply to him because acquiring a player by being awarded a waiver claim is not considered the same as acquiring a player in a trade.
Likewise, the "ten day rule" also will apply to Anthony Recker (so he cannot be recalled prior to the official conclusion of the Iowa Cubs regular season on Monday), because even though he was acquired in a trade and then immediately optioned to the minors by the Cubs on 8/25, he was recalled from his Optional Assignment by Oakland and then Designated for Assignment for a period of seven days prior to being traded, which is not the same thing as being recalled for the purpose of being traded.
So, Tony Campana, Adrian Cardenas, Dave Sappelt, and Rafael Dolis can be recalled on Saturday 9/1, but Socolovich can't be recalled until Sunday 9/2, and Raley, Recker, and Rusin cannot be recalled until the day after the conclusion of the minor league regular season (which means no earlier than Tuesday 9/4).
Tigers dealt him to Braves.
Tigers dealt him to Braves. So hopefully we'll get some kind of PTBNL warm body with the cash?
Brett Jackson current slash line
As of the beginning of today's game, Jackson's slash line is .216/.341/.473 OPS .814 OPS+ 119. Not too shabby, actually, despite all of his whiffs.
BJax vs. Rizzo
Brett Jackson OBP and SLG higher than Rizzo's. Even after Rizzo's HR.

Seems way to early to judge
Seems way to early to judge him, but overall I have a pretty good feeling about the guy. His baseball instincts are on a completely different level than our last baseball prospect. The prospect that isn't frequently overmatched very early in his career is pretty damn rare.

Jackson reminds me in a few ways of Jim Edmonds. Obviously I'm not comparing his accomplishments, but some of his body language, and physical features.

I like Jackson, but he's got this posture and facial expressions that look arrogant. Chin up, puffy chest, sleek glassses, prances around, kinda stiff. Edmonds always looked like the guy you'd want to punch. Jackson has that . . . But I am glad he's our guy you want to punch.
What is he talking about? The
What is he talking about? The weather? The field? The people? This doesn't make any sense...
As someone who lived in the Bay Area for a long time I can say
That the weather kicks some serious ass. Maybe he's thinking of Candlestick.

Btw, Soriano, just shut up about it. Cause I'm pretty sure you're not expressing yourself well because of the language barrier. And now it's gonna be twisted into something personal against the city of SF and I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean. Sheesh.
DFA'd by Tigers. Guessing
DFA'd by Tigers. Guessing Cubs don't end up getting their 2 PTBNL's...probably just cash.

Recent comments
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Jumping for Joy!
This happy member was photographed in mid-air, jumping for joy as she took delivery of her first official brand new car! Jolene purchased a 2011 Nissan Sentra Sedan through the Credit Union's auto buying service, CU at the Wheel. Not only did she save time, money and frustration, she also pocketed a $50 Visa Gift Card and saved an additional quarter percent on her loan rate – part of a special promotion we're running through the end of June!
Here are Jolene's own words about her experience:
As a single mother, I didn't have the time to look for a car. Working a full-time job, it was nearly impossible. After chatting with a co-worker, she encouraged me to talk to the CU at the Wheel advisor at the Credit Union. He found the perfect vehicle for me. Affordable and perfect color. I literally jumped for joy when he delivered my new car. I couldn't believe my eyes! The whole process was so quick. This experience was so amazing.

As the mother of an autistic son, Melissa Stansell knows exactly how challenging a medical exam, dental checkup or haircut can be for an autistic child. The sensory overload of an unusual environment and situation can trigger the child to experience a meltdown, act out and scream, and the parents and caregivers may need to restrain the child to get the necessary task accomplished. As a result, the entire experience becomes stressful for the child, the parents and the service providers alike.
To ease the experience of hair services for autistic children in her area, Stansell launched Autism Nights at her salon, The HeadQuarters in Wilmington, Delaware, earlier this year. On the last Friday of every month, she sets aside a few hours in the evening to book appointments for these VIP guests, and she and her stylists do whatever it takes to help the children and their parents feel comfortable.
"Every child is different, there's no one magic formula--part of the process is figuring out what works for each child," says Stansell. "We do whatever it takes to help them over the sensory hump. For one child that might mean turning off the radio, while another might not like the fluorescent lights. One child whose hair I cut likes the pressure of an embrace, so I put him in my lap and hug him with one arm while cutting with the other hand. For another girl, it means cutting her hair in the lobby, because she is fascinated by the rows of colored polish."
One in 88 children is diagnosed with Autism in the United States. "That means almost everyone knows someone who falls on the spectrum," says Stansell, who finds it's the parents who are the most ecstatic to have an understanding environment to bring their children.
"You know, usually there's nothing about the physical appearance of an autistic kid that signals to everyone that this is a child who has special needs," she explains. "So when an autistic child acts out, observers assume the child is a spoiled brat, and the parents have gotten used to having to hold their heads up high and remind themselves that this is their life and they just have to roll with it."
But even with the extra care Stansell and her staff devote, she says some parents need to restrain their children in order for her or her stylists to complete a hair service. Knowing how that feels as a parent is what prompted her to apply to Wella's Hairdressers at Heart Charity Challenge. Stansell's competition essay captured the attention of judges and earned her a third-prize grant of $1,000 for her philanthropy.
Stansell plans to use the money to send herself and three of her stylists through a training program taught by Practice Without Pressure, an organization that teaches children with disabilities strategies for coping with challenging situations and caregivers processes for accomplishing tasks in a loving manner without resorting to restraint. "Right now, we're kind of winging it, but this program will train us on how to better help these kids more effectively," says Stansell. "The program costs $300 per person, and I didn't pursue it before because it wasn't money I could spend-- so this grant will make a definite difference in the quality of service we can offer these kids."
For now, Stansell markets her Autism Nights by word of mouth, through her salon website and through information Autism Delaware distributes to parents of newly diagnosed children. She believes once her salon team becomes certified practitioners, they'll be able to increase the salon program.
"It's wonderful that a company like Wella is being so supportive of women in all aspects of their career and is stepping up and supporting us with real money and help," she says. "There's a lot of personal pride in knowing that you are doing something for others, and it's great to be able to work with my team members and help instill that feeling within them. This grant will help me continue to grow that."
In 2013, Wella's Hairdressers at Heart Charity Challenge awarded 20 finalists with grants that totalled $43,000. The next Wella "Supports Your Cause" Charity Challenge will commence in the spring of 2014. For more information and updates, please visit hairdressersatheart.com.

Billy is a man-child, who is a muscular athletic human. Who posses many talents. He is easily amused by childish things oftenly confused with 'ADD'. He is a passionate lover and has a monster cock. Women crave his attention, while men envy him. Gay men flock to him and he disrepectfully declines with his man strength. Teachers chat about him behind his back and act as if it never occurs

Published July 11, 2013
UB biomedical researchers now have round-the-clock access to the most advanced imaging scanners available as a result of four major acquisitions in the new imaging facility in UB's Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC).
The new facility is Western New York's first biomedical imaging facility dedicated exclusively to research.
"The new CTRC Imaging Center is a huge step forward for clinical research in Buffalo," says Timothy F. Murphy, CTRC director, senior associate dean for clinical and translational research at UB and SUNY Distinguished Professor in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. "It is an excellent resource for investigators at UB and Roswell Park, and a powerful tool allowing researchers in the Buffalo Translational Consortium to perform state-of-the-art imaging studies.
"It's also a huge recruiting tool," he adds. "State-of-the-art imaging has become an increasingly important element of translational research. Modern imaging techniques now provide information that previously could only be obtained from biopsies or autopsies. Many leading translational researchers have made imaging a critical aspect of their research."
John Canty, Albert and Elizabeth Rekate Professor of Medicine, has been appointed director of the CTRC Imaging Center, located in the CTRC on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC). Robert Zivadinov, UB professor of neurology and director of the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center, has been named the center's director of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Among the new center's capabilities are:
Now, researchers at UB and partner institutions on the BNMC will have a total of four new state-of-the-art scanners at their disposal that are devoted exclusively to clinical and preclinical research.
Researchers in Buffalo whose work involved imaging had been limited to using clinical scanners during off hours when not needed for patient care. That's the situation with many facilities around the country, says Canty.
"The most common model is to take a clinical scanner, whether it's MRI or PET/CT, and devote some portion of time to investigation," he says. "The problem is that pressing clinical demands often end up putting research on the back burner.
"What we've done here at the CTRC is to make clinical and translational research imaging the sole priority for this facility so there's no competition between clinical demands and research," he continues. "In addition, the new CTRC Imaging Center puts multiple modalities in one area, which allows researchers to look at the best modality to advance the science instead of worrying about a specific imaging platform."
Among the initial users of the new facility will be researchers at the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center, a division of the UB Department of Neurology and a leader in developing clinical applications for MRI. BNAC researchers led by Zivadinov will be using the new imaging center to examine neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's, as well as the aging process.
"The research of specific MRI biomarkers for disease diagnosis, monitoring and management will be especially important in attracting researchers here from outside Western New York," says Zivadinov. "In addition, industry will be interested in the determination of differential clinical applications of MRI, including studies on its cost effectiveness and utility in predicting or improving patient outcomes."
Zivadinov adds that the center's most powerful new scanner, the 9.4 Tesla MRI, is one of the first in the country equipped with a cryoprobe, a special device that can increase scanning resolution by two to three times—particularly important for detailed tissue-sample imaging.
When the scanner was installed in the center in April, its 5.5-ton magnet had to be lifted by crane onto the 7th floor of the CTRC.
Funding for the imager was provided by the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and was facilitated through the Hunter James Kelly Research Institute.
The center's GE Discovery PET-CT 690 scanner is operational, supported by a National Institutes of Health Shared Instrumentation grant, with Canty as principal investigator. The Toshiba Aquilon 320-slice CT and a Toshiba Vantage Titan 3 Tesla MRI scanner are expected to be installed through a research agreement with Toshiba later this year.

Man accused of being unruly drunk at uptown Ritz-Carlton hotel arrested for kicking Dallas police officer
View Assault of a police officer at Dallas Ritz-Carlton in a larger map
[Editor's note: The case against Ethan Boothe was dropped, and the charges were dismissed.]
Dallas police were called early this morning to the uptown Ritz-Carlton at 2121 McKinney Avenue on a report of an unruly drunk man, according to police documents.
Ethan Boothe, 38, was "highly intoxicated, arguing and refusing to leave the establishment," the documents said.
Responding Officer John Zaudke tried to stop and arrest Boothe shortly before 2 a.m. in the valet area of the parking lot on a public intoxication charge.
But Boothe wasn't interested in going quietly, police said. He pulled away and told the officer, "I'll show you a tough guy," the documents said.
The fight was on and both men fell to the ground. Boothe rolled on his back and kicked the officer twice in the chest, police said, once with each foot.
"Both kicks made solid contact in … officer's chest, causing immediate discomfort and impeding … officer's physical ability to subdue the" man, the documents said.
Another officer arrived on scene and sprayed Boothe with pepper spray to help his fellow officer out. As is often the case, that apparently worked and Boothe was taken into custody without further incident, police said.
Zaudke was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Boothe was also treated for the spray.
The Dallas man "continued to be resistant and combative during transport and in booking process," the documents said.
Boothe faces a felony charge of assault of a public servant. He remains in the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, where his bail is set at $10,000.

Imagine this: You are a senior goalie for your high school hockey team. You have had issues with playing time all season. So, given the chance, you devise a plan to stick it to your coaches: Purposely score a goal in your own net, fire a single-fingered salute towards your bench, and skate off the ice.
Well, there's nothing to imagine. This actually, unbelievably, head-shakingly happened in Minnesota on Tuesday night. You can even watch the video on the Prep Talk blog, as the goalie skates backwards, offering his "salute," with a huge American flag hanging in the background.
The goalie played for Farmington, which was leading by one at the time, He "scored" the goal to tie the game with 3:13 left in the third period. The opposing team scored a few minutes later and won the game, 3-2. Talk about flabbergasting.
I have never heard of anything like this happening before. The only thing I can think of is the scene near the end of the Bad News Bears (don't you dare ask me if I'm talking about the original movie or not), when the pitcher of the opposing team, fed up with his maniacal father/coach, holds on to the ball and allows the Bears to score.
But that's a movie. This event went viral on Twitter and the YouTube video did the same. The story has been reported by several mainstream media outlets. If you had never heard of Farmington, Minn., before (it's a suburb south of Minneapolis/St. Paul), well, now you have. It's now the town where the high school goalie scored on his own team.
I've often said that the worst thing about high school sports is when anyone involved suffers from a lack of perspective. Parents yelling at their own team's coaches during games, adult fans whining and screaming over every single call by an official and even other adults who hear a players' complaint on the court that the opposition is fouling him, so the response is to yell, for the entire gym to hear, "well, hit them back!" And these are just things I've seen in the last couple of weeks.
As you can see, most of the lack of perspective I see is from the adults on the sidelines of high school events. There are exceptions, but by and large, the kids just play the game.
Obviously something went very wrong in Farmington. According to the Farmington Independent, the player admitted he did it on purpose in a Facebook post; the story also says he has been suspended from school.
What it all points to is an individual's concerted attempt (with help from others, like whoever opened the rink door for him and probably whoever recorded the video) to embarrass his coaches, which also embarrasses his team, his school, his town and his state. Of course, no one should be more embarrassed than the student, and he'll be embarrassed for a long time.
Football changes
Approval is still needed from Section VI, but we have a pretty good picture of what the 2013 Section VI football setup will look like.
Due to changes in not only school classifications but in the state rule that governs the classification of teams that consist of several schools, we are looking at a one-division Class AA with nine teams and a three-division alignment for Class A. Class B, which has had a three-divisional set up in recent years, will return to two. Class C and D will remain two-division classes.
Enrollment drops have notably led to two longtime B programs – Lackawanna and Tonawanda – apparently headed down to Class C.
The change in the method of classification of teams that include merged programs has teams like Riverside, Hutch-Tech (both to A) and Bennett (to B) dropping down, as will Barker/Roy-Hart (to C), while East will move up (to A).
For a complete breakdown of the proposed football divisional lineup looks like, go to the Prep Talk blog.
Around the halls
• Other signings in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS, formerly known as Division I-AA) include wide receiver Chaq Nettles of Williamsville South joining fellow first-team All-Western New Yorker Andy Smigiera (West Seneca East quarterback) at Robert Morris.
Also, Orchard Park's Devon Leach, who was a first-team All-Western New York selection and the Trench Trophy winner in 2011, has signed with Lafayette. Leach is currently in a post-graduate year at Choate Rosemary Hall prep school in Wallingford, Conn.
• Dave Hoch of the Depew Boys & Girls Club reports that Saturday's fundraiser at St. Mary's in Lancaster was a great success in which an excess of $100,000 was raised with funds still coming in. Contributions can still be made. Email Hoch at email@example.com or visit the club's website at depewlancasterbgc.org.
• The second Prep Talk/BCANY boys basketball banquet will be held April 15 at Ilio DiPaolo's Restaurant in Blasdell. Local companies, schools and booster clubs which are interested in becoming sponsors of the event or taking out advertisements in the event program should email me.

A Letter to the Editor in the Sept. 23 Tomahawk Leader:
Sept. 11 is the day which we all recall with horror and disbelief, that the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., was bombed. Thousands of lives were lost, needlessly, because of terrorists' hatred for our values and our freedoms.
Today was the unveiling of the Memorial in Arlington, Va., for those who perished in the bombing of 9/11-2001. C-Span on Dish Network gave a beautiful presentation and explanations of the grounds and benches – a tribute to all who perished on that day. President Bush made the dedication of the Memorial to honor those victims of the crime of hate by the terrorists.
I decided to change (surf) the national channels namely CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS to compare their coverage to C-Span on my Dish Network. To my surprise and complete disbelieve, there was absolutely no coverage of this historic event.
This is not my first experience regarding the bias of the national media. I called several of the local TV stations and talked with the program managers and they gave me the same explanation. They have no control over the programming. I expressed my opinion regarding this bias and asked that my comments be shared with those who cared to hear them. I was told by one network that the dedication of the Memorial was televised on the East Coast – but not here. I did indicate to the persons with whom I spoke, that whatever our political affiliation; the speeches by Presidents of both parties should be televised. It should be our prerogative whether or not we wish to listen to them.
Earlier this week, President Bush addressed the nation regarding the troop withdrawal from Iraq. This address was also not televised by the national networks and I'm assuming it is because the news sounded more like good news rather than the bad which the national news media appears to get more delight out of reporting.
I have spoken with several of my friends who only have the national channels to watch. I asked them if they watched the dedication and they said no – they watched TV but the dedication was not televised.
I guess the national channels (ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS) do not believe in free speech unless it comes from their lips. Smells a lot like Communist Russia and other Communistic regimes that suppress free speech and censor what is written.
I wonder how many people are aware of this "double standard?"

The "like" concept will be expanded to other passive measures
One of the ways that Facebook's "like" feature has enhanced measurement in social media is to allow people to easily participate in the exchange without having to compose a meaningful comment. How about a feature that is purely passive, noting the number of people who have read a post, or read a string of posts, or returned to read posts about a topic more than once?

As you may know, if you repair xboxes, or are unlucky enough to have it happen to you, it is possible for a completely stock/unopened box to do the 3 boot frag. You press the power button, eject LED goes green for half a second then box turns off, light goes green again(possibly even flashes green a couple times), then box turns off again, when it powers back up a third time it flashes red and green....NICE. If a visual inspection of the motherboard shows nothing obviously wrong (un-modded, no burst capacitors, no burnt traces), then it is possible you have a corrupt bios on the TSOP. How does this happen?? I really dont know, could be due to lightning, static discharge...not sure, but anyway, there is a problem and it needs to be fixed.
In order to flash the tsop or a modchip, you must boot from the device you are flashing. So if you want to flash an LPC mounted modchip, you boot from the LPC bus, likewise if you want to flash the tsop - you must boot from the tsop. So how do you do this if the tsop is corrupt? You cant boot from the tsop, if you could you wouldnt even be fixing it.... Commonly it is stated that the only way to fix this is with a 29 wire modchip, like an Xray, which basically piggybacks/overrides the tsop to load a substitute bios in the same fashion as the original tsop would. Well 29 wires is a lot to hook up, just to have to cut out again in order to flash. I will explain how to do this with a Doux2 lpc modchip. Ya I know I already said that you must boot from the tsop to flash the tsop, but i will expalin in a bit, how/why this works (if I can, it may just be some crazy voodoo shit)
Ok, so you have a ver 1.0-1.3 motherboard that FRAGs. Install a pinheader and d0 wire. I use a Duox2 because of the 2 switchable bios banks(and its easy to hold). Make sure you leave your d0 wire a little long.... about 4" to give you a bit of room. Boot the box with x2 4981(or whatever your preferred bios is, really doesnt matter but we want to just get the box to work). Make sure that your hdd has all the files required to operate normally, make sure hdd is locked etc, we dont want any error codes when we get it to boot. I do a format/m$ dash rebuild from an auto-installer disk to be sure all the required files are on the hdd. Now if you have an exploitable game like mechassault, then you should now install your game saves, like mecheurasia. I installed a soft mod at this point (krazies ndure) because when we get it to boot we really dont wanna risk having to eject and potentially reset the box, where we would need to start over again, but the choice is yours. Boot your box with the modchip a couple times to make sure every thing seems cool.
Now you need to locate a special bios to flash to your other bios bank on the duox2. It is an old bios by evox called "tsop_d6.bin", it was packed with an older version of evolutionx dash 3921. Xbins no longer hosts evox stuff, for reasons that are none of my business, so you will have to do some hunting to find it, DONT PM ME FOR IT!!! So put "tsop d6" on your duox2's other bank(figure out how to do that yourself) *Edit file is available on xbins once again.*
Make a Eurasia flash disk and a bios disk if you are using a soft mod, or make sure you have the right bios in your mecheurasia folder to flash to your tsop. I soldered a wire on my duox2 from the bt pad to pin 9 so the chip will always be enabled. Solder your tsop write enable points now as well if you havent already.
Basically what you now need to do is boot with d6. Put your exploitable game or eurasia flash disk in the drive(you wont be able to do this with the d6 bios as you cannot eject the tray so make sure you have it in before you switch bios banks). If you power on you will note that nothing happens, eject LED flashes green, harddrive clicks, dvd revs up and down....all sorts of weird stuff. What you try to accomplish is after about, 1 to 1.5 seconds, after you press the power button, you wanna pull the chip off the pinheader... it'll take you quite a few tries to get the timing right. A few things can happen, either it will continue to 3 boot frag-no good, you may get just a solid green LED with no audio/video-no good, you may get a flubber with a yellow X, or you may get just the regular M$ boot up. I am not sure if it will work when you get the yellow x as the time i got it to do that, I didnt have my flash enable points soldered on the motherboard, so not sure if the tsop or the chip would been flashed(eurasia said flash not writeable, well of course not the chip wasnt even on the pinheader, and the write points were disconnected) If you get the regular green x with M i c r o s o f t under the x, and your soft mod loads, or exploitable game loads(which you should have in the tray), you may now flash your tsop. I would advise you to flash it with x2 4981, even if you are just returning to retail (now you can reflash whatever you want back onto the tsop after this as it should always boot now without chip)
Why does it work, we booted from the lpc?? Well, not really sure, there is something special about the bios, and the fact that you interrupt the loading process of the bios, by pulling it off the pinheader... I guess a part of the hacked bios remains in ram, and it picks up the rest of it from the tsop, or it just delays the boot process to retry the bios load more times?? Maybe the code in the bios tells it to ignore the first # of kb and substitute its own. I dont have the answer....contact the evox team as they made the bios.
I have done this now on 3 different mobos with success, all were ver 1.2/1.3 Hope this helps someone fix a tsop, or at least gives them false hope....hahahah
Thanks to Lordvader129 for making me aware of this bios(I read it in one of his posts) And thanks to team evox for making such a thing.
*edit* clarification of versions, other updated info..

'Green Day: Rock Band' Features Decades Of Dye Jobs And Tattoos
"I thought we could have a lot of fun with 'Rock Band' and highlight different times in our career," bassist Mike Dirnt said. "I thought it was a really cool way to kind of show people, you know, just different things [about the group] in a format the size of a TV set."
It seems that — nearly as much as their music — Green Day's career can be broken down into specific looks too: the baby dreadlocks and eye-popping dye jobs of the Dookie days; the bottle-blond, leather-jacket look of the Warning era; or the black spikes

on January 18, 2013 - 2:42 PM
The crystal methamphetamine was made in a Mexican drug cartel's "super lab" and made it to the streets of Buffalo.
Friday, federal agents and local police said they "obliterated" the drug ring responsible for importing the highly addictive drug in a swiftly executed operation.
Steven "Steve-O" Bennett, who split his time between Los Angeles and Buffalo, was identified as the kingpin, buying and shipping "99 percent pure" crystal meth by mail to Western New York where he encouraged his network of dealers to get as many of their customers addicted as possible.
There was a big incentive. Profit levels were astronomical compared with the cocaine he sold. Because the cocaine originated in South America, money had to be shared with the different criminals along the northbound pipeline to the United States. With the crystal meth, Bennett's partners were fewer – the cartel, dealers and gang associates, the LA Crips and Rolling Sixties.
"This type of methamphetamine has not been seen here in Western New York. We've been fortunate," said Dale M. Kasprzyk, resident agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Buffalo office. "Bennett was trying to establish a market here for this extremely pure methamphetamine, so pure the crystals looked like glass."
Methamphetamine produced in illegal New York State drug labs is 20 percent pure and in low-quality powder form.
At a news conference Friday afternoon, several ounces of the glasslike chunks were on display with cocaine, what the DEA described as three assault weapons, a shotgun, ammunition and a two-inch thick wad of $100 bills confiscated during the last of several raids.
U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. lavished praise on DEA agents, Erie County Sheriff's Office investigators and other police for their collaborative effort in moving quickly to dismantle the drug ring before large numbers of drug users became hooked on the methamphetamine.
Hochul also pointed out that with the help of the Internal Revenue Service, a local Bank of America employee was identified and arrested for assisting Bennett in setting up fake bank accounts "that he used for the movement of money out of Western New York" to Los Angeles, where he or an associate would purchase the methamphetamine. Bennett, 42, allegedly recruited bank teller Jessica Lopez, 32, of Buffalo, who faces up to 40 years in jail if convicted of the charges she faces.
The most dramatic arrest Friday turned out to be the last, at 1:20 p.m. when a SWAT team tossed a flash-bang grenade into a second floor window above the Brother Halal deli, 580 Niagara St. The bang echoed throughout the neighborhood.
Moments later, DEA agents were leading Phillip "Chino" Keomongkoun, 24, out of the apartment in a T-shirt and jeans.
"Even with a flash-bang grenade and a SWAT team heading upstairs, Keomongkoun was able to make his way to the toilet and try to destroy drug evidence," Kasprzyk said. "These guys are in urban warfare mode."
Bennett had been arrested shortly after 6 a.m. in the apartment of his girlfriend on Dexter Street in the Bailey-Kensington neighborhood, while DEA agents in Los Angeles simultaneously arrested Chandra Woods, 29, who allegedly carried out drug purchases and shipments for Bennett when he was here supervising his drug dealers. Four handguns were seized in Los Angeles.
Though a native of the West Coast, Bennett was known to local authorities from his affiliation with a West Side drug gang that called itself Taliban, though it had no connection to the Taliban in Afghanistan. In 2005, law enforcement agencies arrested Bennett, the gang's supplier, and its other members, who were sentenced to federal prison.
At some point after Bennett completed parole in 2011, he returned here and resumed drug dealing, Kasprzyk said.
A few months ago, Bennett began to distribute the high-quality Mexican meth in Western New York. But the operation was doomed from nearly the start, Sheriff Timothy Howard said, because his investigators received a tip and passed it on to the DEA. There was no doubt, though, that the drug had the potential to catch on in a big way. Those who had purchased it were demanding more, according to law enforcement officials who listened in on wiretaps of Bennett's phone calls.
Another frightening prospect was that the Mexican cartel's "super lab" had the ability to churn out 50 pounds of the methamphetamine in one production cycle, compared with local "one pot" cooking labs that produce a few grams of far inferior methamphetamine, according to Michelle Spahn, DEA supervisory agent.
Mayor Byron W. Brown and Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda expressed gratitude for this latest drug bust – the second in the city this week.
Others arrested Friday included: Malcolm Bull, 21, of Jamestown, who specialized in selling heroin for Bennett; Nikki Lillard, 49, of Buffalo; and Guy "Lamar" Burt, age unavailable, of Buffalo, according to an indictment released by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel L. Violanti. Cheektowaga police also assisted in the arrests.

A recorded bomb threat was phoned in to Summerville Elementary School on Thursday morning.
Students and staff were evacuated according to the Dorchester District 2 crisis management plan for safety, PIO Pat Raynor said.
Police and emergency services were on site. Students and staff returned to the school as everything was cleared, Raynor said.
Were still working it trying to determine were the call came from, Summerville Police Department Capt. Jon Rogers said at about midday. The call came in at about 8:30 a.m.
As of 11 a.m. students were at recess on the playground and everything looked as if it had returned to normal.
The district sent a parent link message to let parents know what was going on.
Police are continuing to investigate the source of the threat, Raynor said. We always take everything like that very seriously. Unfortunately threats of that nature do occur occasionally.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Not 24 hours previously I was more than a little worried. I was afraid I'd run out of words.
I had encountered a mild case of writer's block brought on by downing four Pepsi Maxes in a six-hour period. While the soft drink is sugar free, it more than makes up for the sugar loss with twice the caffeine, hence the suffix "MAX" in red slashed capital letters across the front of the can.
My heart was beating faster than a Neal Peart drum solo.
But just when I thought I'd forever run out of things to write about, human kind came through for me again. It never lets me down.
I read an article in USA TODAY this morning that said overeating could lead to some mild forms of memory loss. I hate to coin the monosyllabic phrase – well, it's more a grunt actually, that sarcastically represents the obvious.
Duh. Why do you think we eat anyway? We eat to forget. We eat to find comfort from the daily grind of being our lonely and overweight selves.
Now I prepare for yet another Valentine's Day when I do not have someone with which to spend it. I turn to food during solitary times such as Feb. 14, and I eat in order to forget that I'm alone.
Again: Duh.
The article, which originated from another one of those studies commissioned by the American Academy of Neurology said "Older people who consumed more than 2,143 calories a day had more than double the risk of a type of memory loss called mild cognitive impairment compared to those who ate fewer than 1,500 calories a day."
According to the study, the more calories older people consumed, the more likely they were to have mild cognitive impairment, saying excessive calorie intake is associated with a greater risk of mild cognitive impairment.
MCI… Mild Cognitive Impairment, the condition between normal forgetfulness due to aging and early Alzheimer's disease.
I'm older. I've noticed some momentary lapses in my cognitive reasoning skills. Names no longer spew forth but instead linger on the tip of my tongue and then vanish altogether.
Sometimes I forget where I'm going and I catch myself driving aimlessly around town.
While I still manage to hit all the belt loops, the fly option continues to be a hit and miss thing, but I think that's more due to sloppy personal hygiene skills than memory loss.
And to think I spent the majority of my formative years trying to attain that stage between normal forgetfulness and early Alzheimer's via 12-packs of Bud Light.
I should have opted for the All You Can Eat Buffet instead.
It's long been said that memory is the second thing to go. I can't recall what the first thing was.
Well now I can blame that one on the Big Mac and fries I had for lunch today.
Man used to drink so he could forget. Who knew he had it all wrong? We eat to forget.
So forget the Jack Daniels and the Mad Dog 20/20. I am a man haunted by troubled thoughts and I'm hungry.
Pass the mashed potatoes.

The Communication Arts department helps students gain tools for life-long learning and for developing more meaningful and effective voices in the ongoing conversation of our communities and our culture.
We seek to accomplish our mission through an active program of communication study, practice, and research.
A group of Chadron State students are getting vital industry experience and having fun too by self-publishing their own book.
The project came about as a result of an academic assignment for CA 238, Intro to Mass Media, taught by CSC Associate Professor Shafiq Rahman.
Rahman wanted to give the students in his class a practical application for their academic assignments. The result of this desire was a challenge Rahman issued to his students – compile, edit, and format a collection of their essays into a self-published book.
A group of students, mostly Communication Arts majors, eagerly accepted the challenge and began the arduous task of editing their colleagues' work.
Shortly before the end of the fall 2011 semester, the group designed a cover. Concurrently, the group branded the collection of essays with the title "My Media & Me."
The group is currently editing the last of the essays, and hopes to have the final product finished by summer break.
Rahman, who is writing the book's foreword, said "The project engaged students at a higher level. They took control of their own learning and I hope they experienced a deeper learning as a result of their active participation in this project. I am positive it will be a highly gratifying experience for them when they see their essays published in a book."

A grade data field that appears on the map enables drivers to anticipate descents and ascents and shift accordingly. Trucking speed limits appear if they are lower than the posted automotive speed limit, and you have the ability to correct the speed limit on your 560LMT so you have the most accurate data at all times.

A sexual act which involves a man resting his buttocks on his partner's shoulder, while his partner rests her chin upon his pelvis and proceeds to stroke his penis, as if playing a violin.
