Ratings for Dr. Behzad Emad
He is a very fair and excellent doctor, he helped you feel at eased and understand what happen to you and your medical condition. I highly respect and higly recommend this doctor to others.
Dr. Emad is a very professional and friendly doctor. He has helped me to deal with my carpal tunnel pain and I thank him for it.
I have been coming to Dr. Emad since July '09 for a work related injury I sufferred in October 2008. We have gone through numerous discussions, and he was always supportive of my decisions. He listens to your concerns and gives you advice about you overall health. He is an honest man and a man that truly cares about his patients. -AG
To DR Behzad and people in the office: After a refferal from DR salem's office I chose to take a break from medications and used suboxone to replace them, for so long so many DRs + pain managements just didnt seem to take the extra steps needed to deal with my pain and the reasons for it. So between Dr Salem (who listens) and (DR Behzad(who listens) Maybe there is light at the end of this dark tunnel ive been living in. At least I go away from my appointments with new hope and maybe a brighter future. I will update you as we progress. Thanks again.
A special "thanks" to you and your staff. Recently, I had a painful episode which required me to visit your office a few days earlier than my usual scheduled appointment. I was able to secure the time to see you. Jennifer could readily see I was not myself and loving a having a real hard time. As a result, I was put inside a room quickly. Though the office was busy, the other assistants were so considerate of my situation. The best part is that you gave me attention as though I was your only patient. You came up with a resolution that helped get me through the remainder of the morning also allowing me to go to the pharmacy. Once I got home and followed your instructions, in addition to taking the new medication, I was finally able to get some relief of the pain I had endured for two days. Thank you so much! I was not myself because I hurt so bad. I will never forget the proficiency and kindness shown by you and your staff. It is a pleasure to be in your care. Thank you!
Dr Emad really helped me a lot. I had a very bad car accident that Cedars misdiagnosised and he was the only doctor that correctly diagnosised all my injuries. I was also in a lot of pain for over a year and he really assisted me in being more comfortable with pain medication while my body healed. I am very grateful to him, he is a warm and caring doctor, who really takes his time to listen and pays close attention to details. I highly recommend him for any injury. He not only does the traditional medicine but referred me to alternative healing modalities like massage, pilates and yoga to heal. His staff is great and his office is very nice. Also my case was a personal injury and my attorney said he wrote the most thorough and best reports he had seen.
I've been to a few different doctors regarding my conditions, with an S, since I have many problems...yet, each time I went to see a so-called 'highly-recommended doctor', but none could truly diagnose properly...some I wondered if they could even read the MRI or CATS...and then, I got lucky. A friend referred me to him, telling me, "Emad is the best doctor in the world!". I had to drive over one hr to get to his offices on Wilshire blvd, and while driving there, I told myself, oh, never again I'll drive that far to see a doctor!. Guess what - I've been going there for almost 2 years now. I have many medical doctors in my family but none live in Los Angeles; with other words, I know a good doctor when I encounter one, and Emad is TRULY a great, knowledgeable doctor, and his staff are just wonderful. I feel very blessed.
went to Behzad Emad, md, for assistance in managing a chronic medical condition. appointment made a week in advance. arrived in office on time and had to wait as the day was obviously over booked. $320 as a cash patient was a lot of money to pay for less than 8 minutes of the doctor's time. in conclusion of the office visit, dr Emad gave me a referral for other services which at the same appointment i informed him i had tried and were unsuccessful in alleviating my condition. the dr seemed more interested in my often returning to his office for not inexpensive cash payments of $150, especially when he did not acknowledge my responses to his questions and he offered no assistance to me.

T-Bird Men Travel To TCU, Host San Diego Christian
Related Links
Southern Utah's men's basketball team plays a pair of games this week, traveling to Ft. Worth, Texas, for a Thursday night game at TCU, then returning home to host San Diego Christian on Saturday night.
SUU (1-4/0-0 Big Sky) will be looking to build on its first win of the season after knocking off Carroll College last Wednesday night. The Thunderbirds got at least three minutes of court time for everyone on the roster in the 68-58 win over the Fighting Saints. It was the first career win for SUU's first-year head coach Nick Robinson. It was also SUU's home-opener after road games at Gonzaga and Nevada and neutral site match-ups with Wisconsin-Green Bay and Cal State Fullerton.
TCU (5-2/0-0 Big 12) played at the South Padre Invitational last weekend, where it lost a 55-31 decision to Northwestern before bouncing back with a 76-73 win over UAB. Prior to the tournament the Horned Frogs had played all five of their games at home, with the only blemish on the home slate a 64-61 loss to SMU. SMU and UAB are the only teams to score over 60 points against TCU, and four opponents have scored fewer than 50.
San Diego Christian (2-7/0-0 Golden State) plays at Point Loma Nazarene on Wednesday night prior to facing the Thunderbirds. The Hawks snapped a three-game skid their last time out with an 80-60 home win over West Coast Baptist. SDCC also has a win over Claremont-Mudd (89-81), with setbacks at the hands of Simpson College (95-89), Redlands (85-84) and Cal State San Marcos. The NAIA Hawks have also lost games against Division I schools UC Riverside (83-72), San Diego (91-58), San Diego State (91-57) and Cal State Fullerton (106-60).

Thunderbird Club Luncheons: The Thunderbird Club's weekly no-host luncheon is held Mondays at noon at the Cedar City Crystal Inn. The public is invited to attend the luncheons where Southern Utah's in-season coaches talk about their upcoming contests and review the past week's action.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Jackson Stevenett and Tyson Koehler.
The Coaches:
Head Coach Nick Robinson (Stanford, 2005) is 1-4 in his first season at SUU and his first season as a head coach. Coach Robinson came to Southern Utah from LSU, where he spent three seasons on the staff. Prior to his time at LSU Robinson spent a season at William Jewell College and two seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Stanford. During his time as an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide his teams to a combined record of 87-47 and four post-season appearances, including two NCAA, one NIT and one NAIA Division I national tournaments.
Robinson is assisted by Jared Barrett (Eastern Oregon, 1996), Todd Okeson (Nevada, 2005) and Drew Allen (Southern Utah, 2010).
TCU is coached by Trent Johnson (Boise State, 1986), who was one of Robinson's college coaches as well as the coach he worked under at both Stanford and LSU. Johnson takes a career mark of 232-186 into Thursday's game, including a 5-2 record in his first season at TCU. Coach Johnson is 0-0 vs. SUU.
San Diego Christian is coached by Tim Cook (Oregon, 1993), who is 10-20 in his second season at the helm of the Hawk program and his second season overall as a head coach. Coach Cook is 0-0 vs. the Thunderbirds.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. All of SUU's sports except gymnastics and men's golf compete in the Big Sky. Gymnastics is an affiliate member of the WAC while men's golf competes in the American Sky Conference. TCU is in its first season as a member of the Big 12 Conference. San Diego Christian is a member of the Golden State Athletic Conference.
The Schedule:
The Thunderbirds will have played eight non-conference games by the time they play their Big Sky opener at home against North Dakota on Dec. 17. Three of those games will be at home, three are true road contests, and two were neutral court match-ups, including the tournament at Nevada.
SUU opened at #21 Gonzaga, then played three games in three days at the World Vision Classic in Reno, Nev., meeting Green Bay, Cal State Fullerton and host Nevada before opening its home schedule last week against Carroll College.
Following this week's games the Thunderbirds will host San Diego on Dec. 4, then open conference play against UND on Dec. 17 before hitting the road for their final pre-season non-conference game, at Denver on Dec. 21.
Last Week: Southern Utah broke a season-opening four-game skid to give Coach Nick Robinson his first career win on Thanksgiving Eve with a 68-58 home win over Carroll College. Playing without leading scorer Jackson Stevenett, who was rested with an injury, the Thunderbirds overcame a slow start to roll past the Fighting Saints. Excluding Stevenett, everyone on the roster got at least three minutes of action against Carroll and no one played more than 25 minutes. Damon Heuir scored a season-high 16 points while Jaren Jeffery pulled down a career-best 11 rebounds to lead SUU. The Thunderbirds combined to pull down 40 rebounds, tying the season-high, and had a season-best eight steals as well vs. the Saints.
T-Bird Notes:
- Center Jayson Cheesman didn't take much time to break into the SUU record books. In his first game as a Thunderbird the junior transfer from Salt Lake Community College blocked five shots, which tied the sixth-highest single-game blocks total in SUU history. Cheesman has 12 blocks this season.
- Jackson Stevenett's 29 points at Gonzaga is the highest single-game point total in the Big Sky this season. His 11 field goals made against the Zags is also the highest total in the conference so far this season, while his 11-of-15 shooting night (.733) ranks second-best in the Sky, behind Northern Colorado's Connor Osborne, who hit 8-of-9 shots against Southwest New Mexico.
- Stevenett has scored 810 points in his three-plus seasons at SUU. He needs 267 to move into 10th place on the school's career scoring list.
- SUU pulled down 40 rebounds vs. Carroll College. It was the second time this season the team reeled in 40 caroms, a feat it also accomplished against Green Bay. Last year's squad had as many as 40 rebounds just four times all season.
2012-13 Thunderbird Trivia:
- SUU has nine lettermen, one squad member and one redshirt returning from last season's team that finished 8-10 (14-17 overall) and in sixth place in the Summit League.
- Five seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and four freshmen make up the 2012-13 Thunderbird squad.
- Senior Jackson Stevenett was a second-team all-Summit League honoree last season and he also earned a spot on the five-player Summit League all-tournament team.
- SUU advanced to the Summit League tournament as the number six seed last year, then upset third-seeded Oakland (84-82) in the tournament's first round before falling to eventual tourney champion South Dakota State (63-47) in the semi-finals.
- Nick Robinson is the eighth head men's basketball coach in SUU's 50-year history as a four-year institution.
- Nevada's World Vision Classic was the fourth in-season tournament for the Thunderbirds in as many years. Last year SUU competed at San Diego State's Basketball Travelers Classic, in 2010 SUU traveled to the Great Alaska Shootout and in 2009 the team was in Hawai'i for the Rainbow Classic.
- Southern Utah will play 14 home games this season, including 10 Big Sky Conference contests and one in the BracketBusters tournament. The 10 conference match-ups are the most ever in a season for SUU, a far cry from the four the team had in 1993-94 and 1994-95 when it was a member of the five-team American West Conference and there were just four home conference dates. The last several years SUU has played nine conference games per season in the Centrum.
- In addition to Gonzaga and the World Vision Classic, SUU will play non-conference road games at TCU and at Denver this season.
- SUU and the University of North Dakota are in their first seasons in the Big Sky, making it an 11-team conference. The Thunderbirds had been members of the Summit League (nee. Mid-Continent Conference) for the past 15 seasons before joining the BSC. As members of the 10-team Summit League the Thunderbird men's basketball team qualified for the conference's eight-team post-season tournament 14 of 15 seasons, missing only in 2009-10 when they finished ninth.
- Seven teams qualify for the Big Sky tournament, which will be hosted by the regular-season champion, March 14-16.
- SUU is in its 50th season as a four-year institution, its 25th at the NCAA Division I level. Prior to joining the NCAA Division I ranks the University spent two seasons at the Division II level and 23 as a member of the NAIA.
Scouting the Horned Frogs: TCU is one of the best defensive teams in the country, holding opponents to 52.7 points per game on 37.5 percent shooting. The Frogs have held five of their seven opponents below .400 from the field and have out-shot their opponents in six of seven contests so far this season. TCU leading scorer Kyan Anderson (G, 5-11, 175, So) poured in a career-high 35 points in the Horned Frog's 76-73 win over UAB last Saturday night. That performance lifted Anderson atop the team's scoring chart, at an even 12 points per game. He also leads the team with 3.1 assists per game and has a team-high 12 steals through the first seven games. Forward Garlon Green (6-7, 215, Sr) averages 8.7 points and 5.4 re bounds per game while three players, Jarvis Ray (G, 6-2, 195, Jr), Amrick Fields (F, 6-9, 220, Jr) and Devonta Abron (F, 6-8, 255, So) average in the 7-points per game range. Abron is also the team's top rebounder, with 6.4 per contest. As a team TCU has averaged 55.3 points on 44.4 percent shooting (.270 threes). The Frogs Have connected on 60.3 percent of their free throws and have out-rebounded their opponents by an average margin of 33.6 to 31.4.
Scouting the Hawks: Against NAIA competition (the only statistics which are available) San Diego Christian has three players carrying double-figure scoring averages, led by Raphael Rodriguez (G, 6-1, 180, So) at 15.0 points per game. Andy Saharan (G/F, 6-6, 190, Jr) checks in at 14.6 ppg, while Kevin Dawson (F 6-6, 215, Sr) averages 12.0 ppg. Dawson also leads the team in rebounding, with 6.4 caroms per game, while Peter Beale-Wirsing (F, 6-7, 225, Jr) pulls down 5.4. Derrick Thompson (G, 5-9, 165, Jr) leads the Hawks with 5.0 assists per game. Against NAIA competition the Hawks have averaged 81.8 points per game on 46.2 percent shooting (.430 threes) while allowing 79.8 points on .476 shooting (.320 threes). SDCC has knocked down 74.3 percent of its free throws and has out-rebounded its NAIA opponents by a 37.8-33.6 margin.

About one out of every seven restaurants in King County list nutritional information about each menu item, including how much fat, salt, and calories are in each serving.
The requirement, which went into effect in 2010, requires chain restaurants with 15 or more locations to provide the information.
No similar requirements are on the books in neighboring Snohomish County, although some chains like McDonalds, Taco Time, Jack in the Box and Ivar's seafood bars in Edmonds, Everett and Mukilteo are now providing the information.
The Snohomish Health District, which has undergone a series of budget cuts, hasn't had the resources to implement restaurant labeling requirements similar to those in King County, said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer.
In Snohomish County, there have been questions about whether to extend those same type of regulations to small chains and independent restaurants, Goldbaum said.
"Personally I think this will be something that will be embraced ultimately by industry and the community," he said. "I think it's a valuable tool, but it's only one part of our efforts to address the obesity epidemic."
The health district's Food Advisory Council, made up of industry representatives, has discussed the issue in the past but has not supported a requirement to provide the information, said Rick Zahalka, the health district's food program manager.
Martha Peppones, a registered dietician at Senior Services of Snohomish County and a member of the Food Advisory Council, said that one of the reasons for the lack of support is the initial expense in having menu items analyzed.
Bob Donegan, president of Ivar's, said the cost to do the nutrition analysis in a laboratory was one of the concerns when King County's Board of Health approved its requirements.
"I'm going to say it was about $300 per item to be tested," he said. King County decided to allow restaurants to use approved software programs to do the analysis. The cost dropped significantly, he said.
The information is available to customers on reader boards inside its quick serve restaurants and in printed pamphlets, with offerings ranging from a 410-calorie Caesar salad to a 1,040- calorie crab cake sandwich with fries. Many restaurant chains also have the information on their websites.
Since King County's labeling requirements went into effect, "the vast majority of people look at it and don't change their eating behaviors at all," he said.
"When you're hungry for fish and chips, you won't change to salad with steamed cod on top of it," Donegan said.
Diane Symms, owner of Lombardi's, which has Italian restaurants in Everett, Mill Creek and Issaquah, said she also wonders how many people would pay attention if nutritional information was listed on menus.
"I don't believe that when people go out to a full service restaurant if they're really interested in the nutritional information," she said.
In recent years, more customers have been asking for information on salt content and gluten than in the past, Symms said.
"We have gluten-free pasta available," she said. The restaurant is conscientious about its use of salt, choosing canned tomatoes from Naples that have fresh flavor but less than 8 percent salt content, Symms said.
University of Washington researchers who looked at restaurant menus in King County six and 18 months after its restaurant labeling regulations went into effect. They found that the calories listed on the menu declined, particularly at sit-down restaurants, said Brian Saelens, a health psychologist at Seattle Children's Hospital.
"We don't know that it's directly related to just this regulations… but it is quite a coincidence that it was at the same time that the menu labeling went into effect," he said.
Wes Benson, franchise representative for Taco Time Northwest, said his organization has been tracking nutritional information as far back as the 1980s.
The information is posted on all its menu boards, both inside and outside for customers using the drive-through.
"Once we put up the menu labeling, we liked what we saw as far as calorie counts," Benson said. It also inspired his organization to consider whether there's a niche market for health-conscious consumers, he said.
Dick's Drive-In Restaurants, which has five restaurants in King County and one in Edmonds, isn't currently required to post its nutritional information, but plans to do so by the end of the year, said Carrie Shaw, Dick's marketing director.
A nationwide effort to require all chain restaurants with 20 or more locations to post nutritional information is included in the federal health care law, but it's on hold while details are being ironed out, said Leonard Winchester, who works in the food and facilities section of Public Health Seattle &King County.
The law requires calories to be posted next to each item on the menu, he said.
The Washington Restaurant Association favors a statewide approach to menu labeling. "With 39 counties across the state, the chances of a patchwork effect is pretty high," said Heather Donahoe, the group's spokeswoman.
Peppones said that even when food undergoes nutritional analysis, there can be issues with the results.
Unless portion sizes served in restaurants are exactly the same every time, the counts that are reported in the nutritional information could vary, sometimes significantly, from what consumers are served, she said.
Yet even with these and other issues, Peppones said she thinks it's good for consumers to have nutrition information.
"We dietitians say it's tough to say you should only have this many milligrams of salt when you can't find the information," she said.

Private space on the internet would be anything on the LAN side of your Router, public space would be anything on the WAN side. You may own a domain and have it hosted at a datacenter, but that does not mean you have the right to conduct scans against that domain, as all that you own is the domain. You do not own the equipment it is hosted upon. Nor do you own the equipment inbetween you and your domain.
Here's an example:
My friends and I own a few domains, we have them hosted on our own server that we built ourselves. The server is hosted at an ISP that we pay for rackspace. While we may have the right to scan our box because it is physically ours, we could still get in trouble because we would be using the equipment in between us and that box. If the ISP has an IDS system in place, they could detect the scans and report the attempts.
Most AUP/TOS are worded in such a way that you may not conduct recon's while using their service.

Robots Will Respond to Disaster Scenarios; $2 Million Prize at Stake
PITTSBURGH—Roboticists at Carnegie Mellon University will field two teams in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge, a competition in which robots will perform complex, physically challenging tasks as they respond to disaster scenarios in human-engineered environments, such as nuclear power plants.
DARPA officials announced today that it had selected "Tartan Rescue Team," headed by Tony Stentz, director of the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) and research professor of robotics, and "Team Steel," led by Christopher Atkeson, professor in the Robotics Institute and Human-Computer Interaction Institute, to receive funding in the competition. A team from a Robotics Institute spinoff company, RE2 Inc. of Pittsburgh, also was selected.
DARPA announced the Robotics Challenge last spring as part of its response to the federal government's National Robotics Initiative. Officials noted the supporting role robots played in mitigating fallout from the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan and advanced the Robotics Challenge as a way to inspire innovations that would make ground robots more capable of intervening in high-risk situations.
The Robotics Challenge is now officially under way, with a software "virtual" competition planned for June 2013, followed by live hardware challenges in December 2013 and December 2014. The ultimate winning team will receive a prize of $2 million.
Tartan Rescue Team was selected by DARPA as one of seven teams in Track A, each of which will be developing a new robotic system including both hardware and software. The team will receive $3 million from DARPA to help with development and may eventually qualify for an additional $1 million.
Team Steel and RE2 were among the 11 teams selected in Track B. The Track B teams will develop software only; following the virtual competition, select Track B teams will qualify to receive a DARPA-provided humanoid Atlas robot developed by Boston Dynamics for use in the live competitions. The team will initially receive $375,000. Depending on its performance in competitions, the team may later qualify for $750,000 and $1 million allotments.
"CMU's strength in this competition is that we have always taken seriously the idea that we need to make robots that do things in the real world," Atkeson said. "We have a wealth of experience here, so it's easy for me to get help from a bunch of colleagues to do this."
Carnegie Mellon's Tartan Racing team was victorious in an earlier DARPA robot competition, the 2007 Urban Challenge road race. Carnegie Mellon's self-driving SUV, Boss, navigated more than 50 miles of urban and suburban streets, following all traffic laws and safely sharing the road with robotic and non-robotic vehicles, in four hours and 10 minutes — almost 20 minutes faster than the second-place finisher.
"Tartan Racing set a high standard for all of us," said Stentz, who was a member of that team headed by Robotics Professor William "Red" Whittaker. "We are seeing the payoff from the Urban Challenge now, as more carmakers are installing driving assistance and collision-avoidance systems. If the Robotics Challenge can have that kind of effect on disaster response, all of society will benefit."
"One of DARPA's goals for the challenge is to catalyze robotics development across all fields so that we as a community end up with more capable, more affordable robots that are easier to operate," said Gill Pratt, DARPA program manager for the Robotics Challenge.
In addition to Tartan Rescue Team, Track A competitors are Drexel University, Raytheon, SCHAFT Inc., Virginia Tech, NASA's Johnson Space Center and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In Track B, Team Steel and RE2 will be joined by teams from Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Laboratories, University of Kansas, MIT, TRAC Labs, University of Washington, Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Ben-Gurion University, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and TORC Robotics.
Both Carnegie Mellon teams are actively soliciting companies and other donors for additional funds to bolster their entries. In return for funding, companies can receive favorable access to intellectual property and promotional and public relations exposure.

Dr. Daniel Kharrazi, an orthopedic surgeon from Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that he has "never seen someone come back on the field following surgery from a clavicular fracture in four weeks... if not a little bit longer than that." The implication here being that San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews would only be able to return at the far end of his expected timetable. Kharrazi did not treat Mathews and is only speaking from his personal experience.
Fantasy Analysis:
Even though this doctor did not see Mathews, it does not completely invalidate his opinion. Mathews had been going as high as No. 4 in some fantasy drafts after the trio of Arian Foster , Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy but now could see his average draft position slip out of the first round altogether should this prognosis come true. A great season is still possible though and once he's back on the field, Mathews has to be considered a must-start across all formats. Ronnie Brown and Jackie Battle should split time if Mathews misses any regular season games.

GSA Awards US West and Winstar Local Telecommunications Services Contracts in Minneapolis-St. Paul
May 31, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration today awarded contracts to two companies to provide local telecommunications services to federal government agencies in Minneapolis-St. Paul under its Metropolitan Area Acquisition Program. The combined value of government business is estimated to be $60 million over 8 years - 4 base years plus 4 one-year options.
GSA selected US West and Winstar Communications, Inc. to provide services in Minneapolis-St. Paul. The service area includes Hennepin and Ramsey Counties as well as the city of Columbia Heights in Anoka County and Eagan in Dakota County.
These awards are the latest results of the Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Program, which is managed by GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS). The contracts in Minneapolis-St. Paul bring the total number of cities served by the program to 13. Procurements for the following 7 additional cities are anticipated in the coming months: Denver, Dallas, Boston, New Orleans, Albuquerque, Boise and Philadelphia. The contracts provide for standard voice service as well as switched data service and dedicated transmission service offerings. The scope of the contracts allows for the addition of new and leading edge services as they become available in the commercial marketplace.
The contracts in Minneapolis-St. Paul have an estimated value of $60 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government close to $18 million when compared with standard business rates and nearly $13 million when compared with rates currently available to the government. This is an approximately 53% saving over standard business rates and 45% over current government rates. For basic analog voice services, the offered prices will potentially save the government nearly $5 million when compared to currently available prices.
The MAA Program was conceived shortly after the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in order to bring to the local service environment the same benefits of competition that had been seen in the long distance market since 1984.
As part of its program strategy, FTS has incorporated competition-enhancing terms in its MAA and FTS2001 (long distance) telecommunications contracts, including price management mechanisms and technology refreshment provisions. These are meant to ensure not only that the prices paid by federal government users remain current with the best available in the marketplace, but that the types of services offered remain current with industry trends as well.
For more MAA program specific information, please refer to the GSA FTS website at www.gsa.gov/MAA, or call the MAA Program Director, Larry Hazzard at (703) 610-2823.
To date, MAA contracts have been awarded for the following cities.
New York: May 20,1999 to AT&T - $359 million maximum contract value - NY MAA service area includes the five boroughs of New York City; Lower Westchester county, NY; Nassau county, NY; Western Suffolk county, NY; Hudson county, NJ; Southern Bergen county, NJ; Eastern Essex county, NJ; Eastern Union county, NJ; Eastern Passaic county, NJ.
Chicago: May 20, 1999 to AT&T - $180 million maximum contract value - Chicago MAA service area includes all sites within the Chicago city limits.
San Francisco: May 20, 1999 to AT&T - $150 million maximum contract value - San Francisco MAA service area includes all sites in the city and county of San Francisco.
Buffalo: February 24, 2000 to Bell Atlantic and AT&T - $40 million maximum contract value - Buffalo MAA service area includes Erie county, New York.
Cincinnati: March 23, 2000 to Winstar Communications Inc.- $100 million maximum contract value - Cincinnati MAA service area includes Hamilton county, Ohio.
Cleveland: March 24, 2000 to Ameritech Corp. and AT&T - $150 million maximum contract value - Cleveland MAA service area includes Cuyahoga county, Ohio.
Los Angeles: March 24, 2000 to Winstar Communications and Pacific Bell - $200 million maximum contract value - Los Angeles MAA service area includes the mainland Los Angeles county, California.
Baltimore: March 28, 2000 to Winstar Communications Inc.- $320 million maximum contract value - Baltimore MAA service area includes the city and county of Baltimore plus the area of Anne Arundel county (District 5) around the Baltimore Washington International Airport.

The folks who bring you the Sundance Film Festival every January are in London this week, giving the Brits a taste of Park City (minus the snow) at the second annual Sundance London Film and Music Festival.
At the opening press conference Wednesday, Sundance Institute founder Robert Redford took a light jab at the U.S. government's lack of support for the arts.
"When you have a country [the U.S.] with an extremely conservative body that sees money spent on movies and the arts as trivial, it's bad," Redford said, according to the British paper The Express. "Someone needs to step up and argue about the economic benefits. The arts can bring billions to the table and there is an economic benefit."
Sundance London is bringing some of this year's Sundance Film Festival hits to Europe, as well as musical performances, panel discussions and more. It runs today through Sunday at London's 02 Arena.

Here's another roundup of minor Fallout-related tidbits (mostly related, of course, to the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas). If you have more, please post them here in the comments rather than in separate newsposts - they'll be included in the next tidbits post.
Sony is giving out Fallout 3 add-ons to PlayStation Plus subscribers. The add-ons will be available to European subscribers for free for one week only. Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta and Operation: Anchorage from October 13 and Broken Steel and The Pitt from October 20 onwards.
According to a tweet by Pete Hines, the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide is 525,000 words long, making it the longest printed game guide ever.
Made2Game has some leaked New Vegas videos. Expect them to be taken down by ZeniMax soon.
According to VGChartz, New Vegas already has 775,000 preorders across all three platforms in the United States alone.
For some reason, the Fallout: New Vegas collector's edition pre-ordered in Poland from Cenega, the Polish publisher of the game, does not contain the Classic Pack pre-order bonus, even though the regular edition pre-ordered from Cenega does.
Also, the Vault Boy icons for Fallout: New Vegas achievements and trophies have been released a while ago, but we haven't mentioned it in the news until now. So there!

Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges.

"The Aquabats" descended on Utah last fall and blew up the cereal aisle at the Reams in Sandy.
They had permission, of course.
"We were messing that store up pretty bad," Jason deVilliers, the director/executive producer of this action-adventure kids show, said with a laugh. "We had explosions going off in the cereal aisle. We were blowing up big mounds of toilet paper. It was incredible.
"And without having a huge budget, that's something you could never pull off in Los Angeles."
"We kind of destroyed the place a little with pyro and everyone was still super-cool to us," added Ian Fowles, aka Eagle "Bones" Falconhawk.
That's part of the reason "The Aquabats! Super Show!" moved to Utah for Season 2 after shooting its first season in Orange County, Calif.
"The experience down there was great, but the problem was that all of Orange County looks pretty similar," deVilliers said. "And we wanted Season 2 to have a little bit bigger feel."
After considering moving the production to New Mexico, Michigan, Louisiana or Canada, "We were, like, 'What about Utah?' " said deVilliers, who grew up in the Highland/Alpine area and graduated from American Fork High. He and Christian Jacobs aka the MC Bat Commander who also spent time in Utah when he was growing up, knew they'd be able to film in the mountains, in the desert, on the Salt Flats and at various spots around Salt Lake City.
"It made it much easier for us to do all the things we wanted to do," deVilliers said. "Every episode, Christian and I have these grand visions of what monsters we can have tearing the city apart and the Aquabats have to come save the day. We want to do explosions. It's an action-adventure kids show, so we always have all this stuff we want to do, and we were allowed to do it up here. It was really cool."
Although they did get a few strange looks from people who didn't quite know what to make of these guys in superhero tights.
"People would stop and take pictures," said drummer Richard "Ricky Fitness" Falomir. "They don't know who we are, but they're like, 'This is different.' "
"And then occasionally, there are people who recognize us, which is kind of crazy," said Fowles. "Like, 'Oh, Aquabats! I love you!' "
Explaining the Aquabats is tricky, even for the Aquabats.
"It's kind of tough," Fowles said, "because you say, 'I play in a band. But we have a TV show. We're kind of geared toward kids, but not just toward kids. It's kind of hard to describe. Not a normal band, not a normal TV show.' "
The Aquabats have been around since 1994 in various incarnations. They're a real band and, yes, they dress in superhero costumes.
Jacobs tried to get the Aquabats their own TV show for years. When that didn't work out, he and deVilliers went in another direction they created, produced and wrote the hugely successful kids' show "Yo Gabba Gabba."
Now, they are also the stars of the "The Aquabats! Super Show!," which kicks off Season 2 on Saturday. It's goofy and loads of fun sort of a modern-day version of "The Monkees." Only these guys were a band before they were TV stars, and they write their own music.
Group members are Jacobs; Falomir; Fowles; Chad Larson, aka Crash McLarson; and James Briggs, aka Jimmy the Robot. And it's clear they have fun putting the show together.
"Everyone has a hand in every part of the show the music, the writing," Falomir said. "It's definitely a group effort."
"And there's not many egos," Fowles said. "We've all been good friends forever. And our director [deVilliers] has been a good friend for a long time. He gets it. We can approach him with ideas. And if he likes them, he integrates them on the spot."
"It is a blast," deVilliers said. "Christian and I really try to create camaraderie on set. It is a family environment. We love having creative input from all the people on our team."
A lot of the ideas are the ones any kid would have. Heroes fighting monsters and villains. Explosions. Larger-than-life adventures. The sort of thing boys dream about when they're boys and the Aquabats still get to play with today.
"I think that's where it all comes from," Falomir said. "Things we wanted to do when we were little kids."
And deVilliers sees more than a bit of an echo of his younger days.
"I feel like I'm making the movies I made as a kid in junior high and high school, but we've got a bigger budget to do it with," he said. "We get to do exactly what we wanted to do lasers and monsters and special effects and action."
And blowing up the cereal aisle at Reams.
'The Aquabats! Super Show!'
This action-comedy-adventure show, which is now filmed in Utah, is not your normal kids show. It features a real band, dressed in superhero costumes, with names such as MC Bat Commander and Eagle "Bones" Falconhawk.

Where • On cable network The Hub Comcast Channels 121 and 719; DirecTV Channel 294; Dish Channel 179.

It isn't bad enough we have to fret over Anonymous, Chinese cyber spies, and the NSA sticking their noses into our personal business. Now we have to worry about LinkedIn.
Last week four LinkedIn users in Los Angeles filed suit against the business social network, claiming among other things that LinkedIn has violated wiretap and electronic communications laws, invaded users' privacy, and committed fraud.
[ For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. | For a quick, smart take on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
The complaint accuses LinkedIn of "breaking into its users' third-party email accounts, downloading email addresses that appear in the account, and then sending out multiple reminder emails ostensibly on behalf of the user advertising LinkedIn to non-members."
It also claims LinkedIn uses a new member's logon info to "hack into the user's external email account and extract email addresses" and that it uses names and photos of LinkedIn members in advertisements without their permission.
LinkedIn's public response? About what you'd expect -- in a company blog post, Senior Director of Litigation Blake Lawit writes:
The lawsuit alleges that we "break into" the email accounts of our members who choose to upload their email address books to LinkedIn. Quite simply, this is not true....
We do give you the choice to share your email contacts, so you can connect on LinkedIn with other professionals that you know and trust. We will continue to do everything we can to make our communications about how to do this as clear as possible.
Trial by ire
Is LinkedIn guilty of hacking? Not as I understand the definition of that word. Users give their permission for LinkedIn to perform such acts, though claiming that LinkedIn makes this "as clear as possible" strains the definition of both "clear" and "possible."
Is LinkedIn guilty of spamming? That's much closer to the truth.
Here are the facts.
1. When you log in, LinkedIn is absolutely shameless about pestering you to upload personal contacts from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, AOL, and any other email domain you may have. This doesn't just happen the first time you join the network; it happens periodically every x number of times you log in. I can't tell you the number of times I've politely declined, but it's probably in the hundreds. Yet the requests keep coming.
Dear LinkedIn: No really does mean no.
2. If you do finally give in and say yes or just aren't paying very close attention, LinkedIn will ask if you want to connect with contacts who are on LinkedIn but not in your network, and to invite contacts who aren't yet on LinkedIn to join the service. LinkedIn oh-so-helpfully preselects all of the names on the list. If you're in a hurry and click "Add to Network," you've just spammed all your contacts. You have to de-select the names and/or skip this step to avoid it.

It's time again! Check out our latest Sharpie Featured Artist, Warren Beinart, and hear what he has to say to guest blogger this week, Stephanie Markadonatos, a fellow employee and Sharpie fanatic.
I'm sure we've all done a little doodle-ing at some point in our lives and thought nothing more of it; Warren Beinart, the creator of "The Doodle Daily" blog, is the exception.
He has taken this creative pastime to a new level; it has become his passion, "I started my Daily Doodle Blog as a challenge to myself to see if I could create something new every day for at least a year using social networking as the only means to spread the word.
Since the start of Warren's challenge 2 years ago he has posted a new doodle every day for the past 750+ days.
Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Warren now resides in the Washington, DC area working as a Business Analyst by day (with numerous meetings giving him plenty of time to doodle.) Warren chose Sharpie products as his primary implement, "because I loved the diversity of the products, the fine point and "no-bleed through" features of the Sharpie pen, and the markers are perfect for the think lines and preciseness of my work. I have never looked back. As you say, 'It starts with Sharpie.'"
Warren's dream is to encourage the doodlers of the world by challenging them to a "World Doodle Challenge." He hopes to receive 1,000,000 doodles from around the world and connect with other passionate sketch artists and doodlers, therefore "uniting the world 1 doodle at a time."
Sharpie is proud to be Warren's product of choice, "[Sharpie] products have been invaluable to me…I cannot tell you how many Sharpie Pens and Permanent markers I have been through during this journey."
Accept Warren's challenge and submit your own doodle or scribble to his blog, scroll through some of his master doodle pieces, and check in with his progress by following him on Twitter and Facebook.

GSA Adopts Options School Fourteen Computers Donated
March 18, 1997

At a ceremony today, David J. Barram, Acting Administrator, General Services Administration, donated 14 computers to the District's Options Public Charter School at the Capital Children's Museum. During the ceremony, Barram announced that, in response to the President's call to agency heads to be a good neighbor in the District, GSA's Central Office has adopted the Options School.
Barram said, "Options is the only Charter School in the nation targeting at risk 5th to 8th graders. Options is helping the children of the District, that are most likely to drop-out, stay in school and graduate. Options is making a difference, and GSA would like to help."
President Clinton supports Public Charter Schools such as Options. His budget calls for an increase in the federal subsidy for "Charter Schools" from $51 million to $100 million.
Options School answers a number of the ten principles the President called for in American education to prepare us for the 21st Century such as helping children learn to read, involving parents in their child's learning, and teaching character education. And, there have been positive results. Recently, students were nominated for the 1997 Rosebud Award for their claymation video Spare Change.
Cathy Martens, President and Executive Director of the Capital Children's Museum said, "The donation of these computers will make a big difference for the children at Options School. Access to this equipment will help prepare them for the 21st Century. They will now be able to learn the high-tech skills required by the job market."
That is what the President had in mind when he signed Executive Order 12999, almost a year ago. The Order simplified the donation of computers to schools. "The donation program shows the Administration's commitment to education. The President has called for connecting every classroom and library to the Internet. And GSA is committed to helping accomplish his goal." Barram said.
Positive results of the Order include:
Students across the country now have access to technology. So far, over the past year, GSA has donated over a thousand computers nationwide. Of those, more than 200 computers have been donated to District schools.
At a recent Forum co-sponsored by GSA, the Office of the Vice President, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy, more than 20 agencies were represented as well as state agencies for surplus property. As a result of the Forum, GSA will refine and extend the guidance for agencies to transfer computer equipment to schools and develop an automated clearinghouse for computer equipment for use by both schools and agencies.
Other agencies are donating computers, too. Today, right here in the District, the Department of Labor and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation donated 45 computers to Thomson Elementary School.
Emphasis on support of District schools comes in response to the call the President made during his State of the Union address that we have to renew our Capital City and make it the finest place to learn, to work and to live. And, during his announcement last week, of the economic portion of the District Plan, President Clinton encouraged adoption of D.C. schools. He also announced that each agency head would develop a targeted plan of action to help the District.
Donation of computers and adoption of schools has been, and will continue to be, a part of GSA's overall plan to help the District. We are also looking at other ways GSA can positively contribute to the District.

Chicago train jumps tracks, climbs escalator, injuring 32
(NEWSER) – A pretty crazy train accident in Chicago this morning somehow did not cause any serious injuries: A Chicago Transit Authority train derailed as it pulled into the O'Hare International Airport station around 3am, and, well, we'll let the Fire Department commissioner take it from here: "The train actually climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk, and then went up the stairs and escalators," says Jose Santiago. Thirty-two people were hurt, but none seriously, NBC Chicago reports. "Fortunately nobody was on the staircase," a Fire Department spokesperson tells Reuters. "Anybody on the staircase probably would have been killed."

Damage from downed trees in this week's storm is bringing new attention to the city's financial problems and its inability to respond to residents' complaints.
After more than half an inch of rain fell in the Los Angeles area, city crews were answering reports of scores of uprooted trees across the city, creating massive workloads for city crews and frustration for residents.
Among them was a 50-foot-tall tree that crashed down in a Mission Hills neighborhood early Friday morning, narrowly missing some houses and blocking the street.
Residents of the Saloma Avenue neighborhood had complained to the city for years about the tree, which they said was clearly poised to topple.
"We knew it was going to fall at some point," said Sonny Martin, a retired machinist who has lived with his wife, Kathy, on Saloma Avenue for the past 40 years.
"It had pushed up the street and the curb. It was over 50 feet tall and was growing in every direction. It was planted in 1954 and we all knew it would come down some day. Anyone with common sense would see it was coming down some day."
Martin's son, Brent, said his parents and the neighbors were lucky no one was injured and there was no property damage. | PHOTOS
"Now, it's all across the front yard of the neighbor's house and into the street blocking traffic," Brent Martin said. "The tree came down almost like it had been hit with a lightning strike. It splintered the tree and sent debris in four different directions."
Martin, who works for the Department of Water and Power, said he is aware of the city's financial problems, but the failure to act earlier could end up costing the city even more money.
Board of Public Works spokeswoman Cora Jackson-Fossett said budget cuts in recent years have forced the city to scale back its preventative tree maintenance.
"Unfortunately, we now can trim our trees only once every 30 years," Jackson-Fossett said. "We used to be able to trim them every 13 years and we didn't have all these problems."
She said the city's policy is to give priority to trimming trees where power lines are involved or where street signs and lights are being covered.
"If there is an immediate danger, we are able to come in right away," Jackson-Fossett said. "Otherwise, we have to go with our priority lists."
Martin said his parents had sought help over the years from the offices of Councilman Richard Alarcón and the Bureau of Street Services without success.
Aides to Alarcón did not return calls or messages from the Daily News on Friday.
"At one point a large branch came down and inspectors came out and had it removed, but they weren't able to get workers out to have the tree trimmed," Martin said. "What they told us is they are overbooked and they can't come out unless it's an emergency."
Those who suffer losses from such damage can file a claim against the city, officials in the City Attorney's Office said.
"Each case is fact-specific," spokesman Frank Mateljan said. "We would have to receive and evaluate a claim before we can determine if there is any city liability."
The storm also caused more than two dozen power outages around the city, but crews were able to restore power relatively quickly, the Department of Water and Power reported.

Learning Commons Renovation
The Dick Smith Library has been planning the Learning Commons for almost two years. The original concept was to create the commons as a space that will foster student success by
- providing flexible, technology-rich settings to include group collaboration areas, presentation practice rooms, open study areas, and quiet spaces for contemplative study,
- facilitating access to campus partners that provide academic support for students and faculty,
- offering multiple service points (i.e., research assistance, technology support, writing and tutoring services, etc.),
- enhancing delivery of library services and resources, and
- facilitating student and faculty interactions.
Thanks to the input of Tarleton students, faculty, and staff, along with the support of President Dottavio and his Executive Cabinet, we have finalized a design and will begin construction in August 2013. Funding for this $1.9 million project includes a $600,000 gift from Sodexo Dining Services, $1.1 million from the Library Access Fee, $160,000 PUF, and $100,000 Instructional Equipment. In addition to their generous gift, Sodexo will provide additional funding for equipment and fixtures to expand the coffee bar/café.
Check this web site frequently to learn about the project's status and for notices about changes or relocations in library services by the renovation. We look forward to the new services and features the Learning Commons will offer once the renovation is complete: an inviting, flexible environment that serves your needs for information discovery, collaboration, technology, and study.

Kate Upton Lets Loose in Lady Antebellum's 'Bartender' Video
By Olivia Perez
When watching the new music video for Lady Antebellum's "Bartender," you might spot some familiar extras.
Model Kate Upton and Veep's Tony Hale co-star alongside the country band's Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood for their latest single.
The fun ensues after the blonde bombshell arrives at the bar with her girlfriends for a night on the town, and Hale is the bartender. The two stars then go head-to-head in a drinking contest, as he keeps trying to one-up her with his wild concoctions.
"Bartender" is off Lady Antebellum's upcoming fifth album, and is available for download on iTunes here!

EVERETT — Prosecutors have declined to file charges against an Everett firefighter who was accused of selling antiques taken from a burned-out downtown building.
Everett police investigated the allegations and found no evidence of a crime, city spokeswoman Kate Reardon said Tuesday. Police forwarded the case to Snohomish County prosecutors for review.
The firefighter, 43, has been with the department 19 years, Reardon said. He was put on leave after the allegations were made. He has since returned to work.
An antiques dealer in March alleged that the firefighter was selling items online that were taken from the McCrossen Building on Hewitt Avenue. The historic building was destroyed in a fire in November.
The building was demolished in late March.
The city's three-sentence press release on the prosecutor's decision doesn't delve into the details of the investigation.
The items in question included stoneware pottery and a lamp.

SHADOW DANCEBLAZE: Tough to get excited about a horse that is 0-for-14 at this track but she is too good for this bunch. Choice. KASINO DEALER: Turf-to-dirt while on a huge class drop for this. Second time off the bench and merits a long look. FARRAR: Never fired in the slop last time out but faces softer in here. Should offer exotic value.

I just called and it is rain or shine unless there is thunder or lightning. Then they'll wait until it stops.

LONDON -- Next year's European Gaming and Amusement International Exposition is shaping up as the best one yet, according to the show's organizers. The fifth annual EAG International will be held from Jan. 21 through 23, 2014, again at the popular Exhibition Centre London (ExCeL). It's cosponsored by the British Amusement Catering Trade Association and the British Amusement of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions, and managed by EAG Expo Ltd.
In 2014, EAG International is expected to benefit from a smart new look, a newly redesigned website and an expanded social media presence. "To date, stand bookings are ahead of last year, with 75% of the show's available floor space already sold," said Martin Burlin, chairman of EAG International. "In addition, we'll be supporting exhibitors with our largest-ever international media campaign involving a number of new publications."
BALPPA, which became an EAG sponsor in 2012, has deepened its involvement with the event, Martin continued. "The new BALPPA team are working closely with us under the leadership of Paul Kelly, reflecting the show's increasing appeal to attractions operators," he reported.
Burlin is positive about the upcoming EAG International 2014: "The industry is far from euphoric about future prospects, but there appears to be potential for greater optimism than in recent years," he pointed out. "For many operators, the 'machine games duty' demons have now been exorcised," and the summer season has been a strong one; operators are making their purchasing plans accordingly.
"Government is also finally recognizing the plight of our coastal towns with a number of public and private sector development projects under way," the EAG chairman added.
Online registration for the 2014 show will open on Tuesday, Oct. 1, coinciding with the launch of a new-look EAG International website. Show organizer Karen Cooke, Swan Events (Harpenden, Hertfordshire), said, "The show's website has had a complete makeover. We very much see eagexpo.com as an-up-to date resource, and hope that both visitors and exhibitors will visit regularly to catch up on the latest news and information about the show and its exhibitors."
Cooke reported that the ExCeL venue will be much busier in 2014 than it has been in previous years. "We won't have the whole of ExCeL to ourselves, so visitors will be able to experience a greater choice of food and beverage outlets plus other facilities," she predicted. "We urge exhibitors and visitors to reserve their hotel accommodation early so that their preferences can be met." EAG's accommodation partner is Event Express, which can be contacted through EAG's website.
Burlin emphasized that EAG International has always prided itself on being a show that exists purely for the benefit of trade exhibitors and visitors. "EAG International provides a great opportunity for amusement and leisure professionals to view the latest products and technology, as well as to network both informally and in a more structured way at events surrounding the show," he summed up."EAG International has a life of its own, with all stakeholders having input and the opportunity to contribute to its shape. It's a dynamic show put on by industry professionals exclusively for the benefit of industry professionals, and that's why it's unique."
This year's EAG International Expo in January drew 5,411 "unique visitors," up slightly from the 5,333 showgoers in 2012. About 150 manufacturers, suppliers and related trade associations exhibited during the three-day event. Severe winter weather had taken Western Europe by surprise, even dropping snow on much of England, which prompted numerous flight cancellations at London's Heathrow airport the weekend before EAG opened. | SEE STORY
