Great Western Bank: Making Life Great
Protect Yourself & Your Business
Merchant Data Breach
Great Western Bank works with our card processors to act quickly whenever suspicious activity appears on a customer's account or a merchant data breach is reported.
- Great Western Bank fraud monitoring teams are on a heightened state of alert and watching carefully for any activity which deviates from your customary spending patterns. We have been using every monitoring tool at our disposal to find fraud trends and stop them before we see any large amounts of loss.
- Fraud activity often peaks during the holiday season. Continue to monitor your accounts closely and only use your debit or credit card with merchants you trust.
- Customer service is of the highest priority for us. We will continue to closely monitor transactions in an attempt to identify fraudulent transactions. Due to recent data breaches, certain transactions may be blocked. If you experience the blocking of a legitimate transaction, please notify your banker right away.
- If we have any reason to believe your account has been compromised in any manner, we will proactively contact you and issue new cards.
- You can help by reviewing your monthly and/or online statement carefully and calling us immediately if you see any suspicious activity or see unauthorized purchases.
- It's also important to note that all Visa credit and debit cards are protected with Visa's Zero Liability* policy in the rare event fraud does occur, which means you pay nothing for unauthorized purchases on your account.
*Visa's Zero Liability Policy covers U.S.-issued cards only and does not apply to commercial credit cards, ATM transactions, or PIN transactions not processed by Visa. Cardholder must notify card issuer promptly of any unauthorized use. Consult issuer for additional details or visit www.visa.com/security.
Online and Mobile Banking Security Procedures
Great Western Bank (GWB) is committed to protecting your personal information. We've created these important security procedures to help you protect your personal and business financial information. It will also increase your level of online security. Please follow all applicable procedures to ensure the highest level of protection:
- Retrieve mail promptly and send bills and other sensitive documents from a secure mailbox.
- Shred private documents such as receipts, applications, bank statements, etc. Sign up for online statements to prevent theft of paper documents.
- Review your credit report at least once per year. Monitor your credit activity and alert the reporting agencies of any suspicious activity or significant changes to your credit score.
- Ensure all of your information is up-to-date with the Bank. This includes: your current phone numbers, mailing and email addresses and date of birth.
Online Security Tips
- Do not use your Social Security number as your username and/or password. Change your usernames and passwords regularly and use combinations of letters (capital and lower case), numbers, and special characters (for example, *, #, !). Do not use the same username and/or password for multiple accounts.
o If your GWB username/password is your social security number, please change it by contacting your local branch/banker or contact our customer service center at 1-800-952-2043.
- Protect your passwords. Do not write them down or share them with anyone.
- Protect your answers to any security questions. Select questions and provide answers that are easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess. Do not write down your security questions or answers or share them with anyone. If you have selected security questions on other websites, avoid using the same questions to protect your GWB Online or Mobile Banking accounts. Please note that GWB will never ask you to provide answers to your security questions via email.
- Use secure websites for transactions and shopping. Shop with merchants you know and trust. Make sure internet purchases are secured with encryption to protect your account information. Look for "secure transaction" symbols which depict a lock symbol in the lower right hand corner of your web browser window, or "https://..." in the address bar of the website. The "s" indicates "secured" and means the web page uses encryption.
- Always log off from online banking and any website after using your credit or debit card, or other sensitive information. If you cannot log off, quit your browser to prevent any potential unauthorized access to your account information.
- Quit your browser when you are not using the internet.
- Be cautious when using public hotspots and consider your Wi-Fi auto-connect settings.

Email Security Tips
- Be wary of suspicious emails. Never open attachments, click on links, or respond to emails from suspicious or unknown senders.
- If you receive a suspicious email that you think is a phish (see, "Types of Online Fraud" below), do not respond or provide any information.
- If you respond to a phish email with personal or account information, contact 1-800-952-2043.
Mobile Banking Security Tips
When you use a mobile device for browser or text-based account access, keep these tips in mind:
- Use the keypad lock or phone lock function on your mobile device when it is not in use. These functions password-protect your device to make it more difficult for someone else to view your information. Also, be sure to store your device in a secure location.
- Frequently delete text messages from your financial institution, especially before loaning out, discarding, or selling your mobile device.
- Never disclose via text message, phone call, or email your personal or financial information, including account numbers, passwords, Social Security number or birthdate. GWB will never send a text message to your mobile device asking you for this type of information.
- If you lose your mobile device or change your mobile phone number, remove the old number from your mobile banking profile by contacting your local branch/banker or call GWB customer service at 1-800-952-2043.
Applications ("Apps") are programs you can download to your mobile device. Apps that let you monitor your finances and conduct certain transactions are increasing in popularity.
- Download mobile apps from reputable sources only to ensure the safety of your personal and account information. We encourage users to download the most recent versions of our apps and keep them updated. Our apps are supported by Android, Blackberry, and iPhone devices. You can download the GWB app by visiting the associated App Store and searching for Great Western Bank, or visit m.mygwb.com on your phone's browser and click the create an account link.
- For your security, sign off when you finish using a GWB app rather than just closing it.
- If you have suspicions about the authenticity of a GWB mobile banking app, access your account through our mobile banking site at m.mygwb.com
Computer Security Tips
- Use a current web browser. View a list of GWB supported browsers at greatwesternbank.com
- Avoid downloading programs from unknown sources
- Keep your computer operating system up-to-date to ensure the highest level of protection
- Install a personal firewall on your computer
- Install, run and keep anti-virus, anti-spyware and other software updated
- Beware of malware infections by drive-by downloads. Drive-by downloads may happen when visiting a malicious or vulnerable website, viewing an e-mail message or by clicking on a deceptive pop-up window. Malware is malicious software installed on your computer which has a harmful intent that can, for example, capture your login passwords and other personal data. Examples of malware include software such as spyware, adware, viruses, etc. The best way to protect yourself from malware is to exercise caution before installing programs on your computer or opening email attachments. Here are some precautions that are important to take:
- Only install applications and software from well-known companies you trust.
- Make sure your computer is cleansed from viruses/spyware and has up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware software installed
- Keep your operating system and browser up-to-date with the latest security updates and patches.
- Set your browser preferences to block pop–ups — these pop-ups can contain inappropriate content or have malicious intentions.
- Back up all sensitive information from your old computer before you discard and erase the hard drive.
- Change your wireless network default password as well as the default SSID (name used to identify your network), don't broadcast your SSID and consider using encryption on your network.
- Turn your computer off completely when you are finished using it. Don't leave it in sleep mode.
- Conduct online banking activities on secure computers only. Public computers (computers at internet cafes, copy centers, etc.) should be used with caution, due to shared use and possible tampering. Online banking activities and viewing or downloading documents (statements, etc.) should only be conducted on a computer you know to be safe and secure.
- Ensure your computer software and plug-ins are current. Before downloading an update to your computer program, first go to the company's website to confirm the update is legitimate.
Examples of Online and Mobile Fraud
Types of Online Fraud
The following list, while not exhaustive, contains a description of common fraud techniques of which GWB desires its customers to be particularly aware:
Phishing and spoofing
Sometimes criminals may send you email that looks like it has come from GWB. These phony emails ask you to go to a Website that also looks like GWB and provide your personal account information. These emails may even ask you to call a phone number and provide account information but the Website is a fake.
- Asking for personal information should raise a flag since GWB emails will never ask you to reply in an email with any personal information, such as your Social Security number, ATM or Debit Card PIN.
- Urgent appeals claim that your account may be closed if you fail to confirm, verify or authenticate your personal information. GWB will not ask you to verify information in this way.
- Messages about system and security updates claim that the bank needs to confirm important information due to upgrades and state that you must update your information online. GWB will not ask you to verify information in this way.
- Offers that sound too good to be true often are. You may be asked to fill out a short customer service survey in exchange for money being credited to your account, and you are then asked to provide your account number for proper routing of the supposed credit. GWB will not request your information in this way.
- Typos and other errors are often the mark of fraudulent emails or websites. Be on the lookout for typos or grammatical errors, awkward writing and poor visual design.
To protect against phishing and spoofing:
- Make sure you are at GWB's Website when you sign in to Online Banking. You can do so by typing www.greatwesternbank.com in your browser. If you're using a secure browser, it will turn your address bar green.
- If you receive a suspicious email, do not click on any links or reply to it. Simply delete it.
- To report a suspicious email that uses GWB's name, you can forward it to email@example.com.
Money Mules
Money mules are unsuspecting victims who become middlemen for criminals trying to launder stolen funds. Victims are lured by the promise of a new career opportunity making large sums of money for minimal work. Criminals recruit money mules, send them stolen money and then ask the money mules to wire or transfer the money unwittingly to the criminals. Using the money mule masks the criminal's identity.
The money mule may keep a commission for performing the transfer or wire. The victims of these scams may not only have their bank accounts closed and financial reputation ruined, but are often left financially responsible for returning the stolen funds.
Common signs of a money mule scam:
- Overseas companies requesting money transfer agents in the US
- Opening new bank accounts to receive money from someone you don't know
- Accepting large sums of money into your personal bank account for a new job
- Transferring or wiring funds out of your personal bank account to people you do not know
Malware, short for "malicious software," includes viruses, spyware and trojans that are designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system. Malware is often used to steal personal information and commit fraud. There are several easy ways to minimize the risk of malware:
- Downloads from file sharing and social networking sites can be distribution points for malware
- Attachments and free software from unknown sources shouldn't be opened or installed
- Pop-up advertisements asking for personal or financial information are likely fraudulent, so it's better to close them
- Updated security and system software can protect your computer from malware threats
Vishing uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to call, leaving an automated recording. It alerts the consumer that their account has experienced unusual activity. The message instructs the consumer to call the same phone number shown in the spoofed caller ID with the same name as the financial company they are pretending to represent. And sometimes, criminals who try to get consumers to turn over personal data send emails and text messages containing fraudulent phone numbers.
Rather than provide any information, you should contact GWB at the customer service number you normally use to verify the validity of the message.
Types of Mobile Fraud
Fake Mobile Banking Apps
Criminals may develop and publish fake mobile banking applications attempting to steal your Online Banking credentials. Here are tips for recognizing an unofficial GWB application:
- The developer or author of the application is not GWB
- The application is being promoted on a third party site, somewhere other than the official application store for your mobile device
- There is a charge for downloading the application—GWB does not currently charge for mobile application downloads
- To help protect your accounts and information, don't download or install a GWB America Mobile Banking App if you spot any of these warning signs.
SMShing is phishing that happens via SMS text message. A criminal sends a text message tricking you into replying with financial or personal information or clicking on links that will sneak viruses onto your mobile device. To guard against these scams:
- Don't respond to a text message that requests personal or financial information. GWB will never ask you to respond in this way.
- Verify the phone numbers that appear in a text message. Store GWB phone numbers in your mobile contacts for a quick cross-check, or, you can go to the Contact Us page.
Stolen devices
- Mobile phones and tablets offer convenience, but they're also easy to lose or steal, which can put your information at risk.
- Password-protect your device so it can't be accessed unless the password is entered
- Enable an automatic screen-locking mechanism to lock the device when it's not actively being used
- Consider using a remote wipe program, this will give you the ability to send a command to your device that will delete any data
- Keep a record of the device's make, model and serial number in case it's stolen
- The GWB Mobile Banking Apps still require you to enter your Online User ID and Password along with your SiteKey before accessing your financial information.
Traditional online threats
Viruses, malware and other programs that steal your personal information or financial details are also able to infect some mobile devices.
- Some tablets may support traditional anti-virus products. Consider installing AV if supported on your device
- Back-up the device's data. This will allow you to restore the data if you need to wipe the memory to remove a harmful software threat
- Stay vigilant about security when taking advantage of the convenience these devices offer.

GreatSchools Rating
Father Ryan is an exceptional school that provides a sense of community that goes far beyond the classroom. The different course levels offered academically help your child reach their full potential. The administration, teachers, coaches and counselors are all top notch I'm so glad two of my children had the opportunity to attend such a fine institution. Call and check out the campus .... you will not regret it !!!
My son has attendended this school for a year now. This is probably the worst school you could possibly send your child to. It has little to no diversity in their students making "most" of them very similar. No one stands out in any special way. Just a bunch of preppy athletes as my son says. Some teachers single out students and make other students seem lower when everyone should be equal. Teachers dont follow policies by only applying them to some students. My son left and is now attending Hillsboro. Its not a good school and he loves it. Thats what matters. I highly recommend public school if your child isnt really having that great connection with a private school.
FRHS is an incredible school. I transferred there my junior year in 2006 and was astonished by the strong community and spirit of the school. Father Ryan focuses on producing well-rounded young adults and the things I learned there go far beyond the classroom. Also when I entered college I discovered we were far more prepared academically then the vast majority of our peers. I look forward to sending my children there.
Its commitment to the students is outstanding!
This is by far the best private school in Middle Tennessee. The teachers, personnel, and coaches are exceptional.
Having a 2006 Graduate of FRHS, I have seen first hand what Father Ryan offers students. It not only offers a very solid education, it produces mature, responsible young men and women that can interact with adults in almost any situation. We have been so impressed with FRHS that it was our only choice for our second child, now a freshman at Father Ryan. *There are a lot of changes being implemented this year, including a new principle. With that in mind, my scores are based on what I have experienced up to this current school year.
We have two children enrolled this year and both are brand new to Father Ryan. We are so happy with how well our children have been embraced by the Father Ryan community. The teachers, administrators, coaches, and students have been so accepting and welcoming to our kids. We've been impressed by the facilities and the teachers. We couldnt have made a better choice for our kids than to attend Father Ryan
I am an alumni of Father Ryan and I feel that when I went to college I was more than prepared for what was ahead of me. It really is more than a school, it's a family as well.
Fr. Ryan is a wonderful 'community'. There is so much love there and so many wonderful faculty members and students. It truly gets better every year. I feel very blessed to have graduated one child from Fr. Ryan and currently have another there.
I graduated from Father Ryan in 2000 and I am proud to call myself an alumni. Things have changed since I went there but we are still a family. They helped me so much when I was filling out my college applications. Now, I am a Psychology major.
Just wanted to let everyone know that FRHS is absolutely the best high school in Nashville. I attended FRHS for all 4 years of high school and I too wouldn't want to have experienced high school anywhere else! FRHS keeps making building improvements that are doing nothing but making this school better! Keep up the good work!
father ryan is more than a school its a community you get what you put into it i cant say enough about it i wouldnt want my high school experience any other way

Quality & Outcomes: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Procedures
Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Despite the large volume of endovascular AAA repairs, Penn vascular surgeons continue to perform complex open aortic aneurysm repairs with low morbidity and mortality. Penn serves as the largest referral center for complex aortic work in the region.
Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) occur between the renal arteries and iliac arteries and affect as many as 8 percent of people over the age of 65 in the U.S. Penn has been a leader in the minimally invasive repair of AAAs for many years, having participated in every FDA-sponsored endovascular abdominal clinical device trial since 1996.
Aortic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)
Penn endovascular surgeons initiated the first U.S. clinical trials to study AAAs, which represent the vast majority of aortic aneurysms. At Penn, Ronald Fairman, MD, had an instrumental role in the development of the first stent to receive FDA-approval for endovascular aortic repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. EVAR is a percutaneous procedure that involves placing synthetic grafts or stents within the aneurysm via the femoral arteries.

On July 19, 2012, a new era of Fort Lewis College Athletics will begin as the College unveils two new Skyhawk logos, a primary and secondary logo. The official unveiling ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. in the Student Union Vallecito Room. Everyone is invited.
Academic athletes dominate studies as well as sports
Wednesday, June 06, 2012
In May, when Fort Lewis College first baseman Stephanie Janes was named to the Capital One Academic All-America second team for NCAA Division II, it was a crowning academic achievement for Skyhawk athletes.
Janes becomes the eighth student-athlete in Fort Lewis College history to be recognized on an Academic All-America team -- and the fourth this season alone. And that achievement is just the latest in a run of Skyhawk academic excellence.

TofuXpress in the mail!! If you have never tried one of these things before, you are definitely missing out! Since being vegan, tofu has always seemed like more of a hassle to me. Not that it is hard to use tofu, but usually when I press it, it crumbles and is pretty soggy - which is not appetizing to me. Plus, I hate wasting all of those paper towels, and still having all of the excess water regardless. Since receiving my TofuXpress I have pressed a few blocks of tofu, just to test if out. But to be honest, I seriously have no idea what to do with it. HELP!
I've been wanting to try a marinade (which this is perfect for, because all of the liquid has to be drained to marinade properly). I've also wanted to try to make an over-easy style "egg" with tofu instead of an egg. My husband who is a vegetarian is set on making this breakfast sandwich recipe he has had in his head for awhile. It sounds really good, but has eggs and cheese. So this press would be perfect to make a tofu "egg," so I could enjoy this amazing recipe he's come up with too :)
But the real reason I am writing about this amazing contraption, is because I would love your suggestions on cooking with tofu. I'm not into eating just strips or squares of tofu, I like a little texture (which I read in the TofuXpress recipe book it comes with, that you can freeze it for a different texture - I have some waiting for me in the freezer right now!!) So anyway, a little help would be great! Send me some awesome recipes, and I will make and photograph them for another post! Love you guys!

The Mother's Day Secret
I can't help it. I frustrate my husband, I enjoy it, and thankfully, he's gotten used to it.
Every year, about a week before Mother's Day, when I'm convinced my husband has ideas for a present, I question my kids. I know that he as sworn them to secrecy. But I also know that both kids love gifts, they love holidays, and they love to talk about both gifts and holidays. So with my husband at a close distance, I ask my kids what they got me for Mother's Day. And of course, they proudly answer my question.
(... As my husband RUNS across the house yelling "No! Don't tell. It's a secret!")
So, this year, as usual, I attempt to get Mother's Day information from my kids. And again, with an amazing amount of confidence and with my husband at a close distance, I ask the them what they got me.
Playing with Cell Phones
My four year old and I play a game with my cell phone.
I sit on the couch upstairs. My four year old sits on the couch downstairs. From my cell phone, I call our home phone number and my four year old - with complete excitement - answers.
Then we talk. We talk and we talk and we talk. My son tells me all about his day, what he wants for Christmas, his least favorite foods, and how mad his brother makes him. Through this wonderful game, my son reveals more of his thoughts than he ever does when we're eating pizza at the dinner table.
I wonder, when my son is 12, will he still play this game with me?

However, I don't want to ask my brother to sign up for a photo or video web site just to see a movie meant just for him (for example, YouTube or Flickr).
Here's a web site where you don't have to sign up and you don't have to make your friends sign up: www.drop.io.
At Drop.Io, simply upload the file you want (picture, video, program, etc.) and then supply the recipient with the web site address you specify on the site. If necessary, you can even set up a password.

Eddie Bullock would do nearly anything for his alma mater, which is why he coaches three Anniston High sports and assumes tasks like washing football uniforms.
He learned the hard way that his loving labors can cause a painful case of MRSA, the most dangerous form of staph infection.
"The doctor asked what kind of work that I do," he said. "I said I coach. I do all the cleaning, washing clothes for the football team. He said that's where I got it.
"He said all it takes is just to be in your nose hairs or if you rub it, a bruise inside or if you scratch your nose."
Bullock's case, plus known cases at Pleasant Valley High and Jacksonville Christian Academy, give local testimony to the growing problem of staph infections in sports.
What has long been a concern in hospitals and nursing homes has become a concern in locker rooms and training rooms in high school, college and even professional sports.
Awareness of staph infections in sports began to surge around 2000 and has grown, especially in football. A 2007 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey of high school athletic trainers revealed that 53 percent had treated MRSA infections in football players.
MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is the most drug-resistant form of staph and can be fatal. An MRSA infection left Pleasant Valley senior David Pitts paralyzed below the sternum.
JCA's David Parris has battled MRSA's ranging effects for a year, and it sidelined him for his junior football season with the Thunder. Ward Reid, one of Parris' teammates, spent three weeks recovering from a lesser staph infection. He returned to school a week ago.
Many more common staph infections are not so severe. Athletes get the infected areas sufficiently wrapped and play their sports.
But athletes, especially those in contact sports like football, play and dress in environments that can breed these sneaky infections.
Some, like Pitts (whose story was told in Sunday's Star), acquire the infection without an apparent open wound.
A possible explanation for such cases is that some skin wounds are too small for the naked eye to detect, according to Anniston physician Raul Magadia, who specializes in infectious diseases.
"You're dealing with a staph infection, which is about 0.6 microns in diameter," said Magadia, who has lectured on staph at Anniston and Oxford high schools. For comparison, human hair ranges in width from 40 to 120 microns. "It's very tiny, so you really can't see it.
"It doesn't take a whole lot for the bug to get into a skin cut that otherwise is not seen by the human eye."
If the patient becomes bacteremic, meaning bacteria enters the blood stream, staph can travel to vital areas in the body. Pitts and Parris developed abscesses on their spines.
"Staph infections are very opportunistic," Magadia said. "They will go to a place that has the least resistance.
"If you become bacteremic — and let's say you have a weak spine to begin with from an injury that's not really that bad, but that area is somehow relatively weak compared to the rest of your body — once you have a blood infection, it will go there."
Some people are staph carriers, and the infection lives on their skin. It can transfer to clothing or protective pads, and athletes can infect each other through contact or from sharing towels.
Oxford football coach John Grass said a staph outbreak while he coached at Moody High School was traced to a batch of unwashed wristbands.
In football, studies show that linemen and linebackers are most likely to get staph because they have more close contact.
Once staph infections occur, diagnosing them can be tricky. Magadia said doctors should ask questions.
"Are you having any fever? Is it really painful?" he said. "They'll ask history and things like that. Have you been in contact with someone who might be sick or might have something else? What kind of sports do you do?"
Still, an MRSA diagnosis can come late in the infection's progression. In Pitts' case, an MRI taken nearly a month after he fell and hurt his right elbow in basketball practice revealed the abscess. Other staph stories among area coaches and athletes show just how easily an infection can occur and elude detection.
Just doing the wash
Bullock had no idea he had MRSA in late spring of 2008.
Soon after the conclusion of Anniston's spring practice, he washed the Bulldogs' uniforms one last time before storing them for the weeks between spring and fall practice.
He started to notice tenderness on the tip of his nose.
"It was real sore," he said. "I didn't pay attention to it. I don't get sick that often. When something lingers, I'll get it checked.
"I went to the doctor, and he gave me some antibiotics for it. I thought it was sinuses acting up."
The tenderness went away for nearly two months but returned, so bad that "it was killing me," he said. He wished it away for a day. Then came Sunday, and Bullock was struggling through his duties as piano player in his church.
"I was so miserable in church," he said. "I couldn't keep my head up. I was about to go out on that piano.
"After church, I told my wife, 'I've got to go to the doctor.'"
The doctor asked the right questions and swabbed Bullock's nose, which had gotten "about hard as a piece of concrete," Bullock said. "You could tap the tip of my nose with a pin. It was that hard."
Four days later, the doctor called with an MRSA diagnosis and recommended quick and aggressive treatment, which included four shots plus two prescriptions. Bullock took one prescription for 10 days and the other for a month.
As painful as Bullock's ordeal was, he said he's fortunate.
"I was scared, when he (the doctor) first told me about it," he said. "I didn't know you could die from it, especially if you don't get it treated."
Delayed onset
Like Bullock, Parris didn't suspect MRSA when he broke his left hip in a game against St. Bernard Prep in October 2008. He just knew his hip wasn't his only problem.
"It got better, but my back never got better," he said. "It would get better, and then it would start hurting again."
He didn't think much of it and went about offseason workouts and spring training with the on-and-off back pain. He had two good practices leading up to JCA's spring game and played in the game.
"By that next Saturday, I could hardly move around, and it just kind of got worse," he said.
Parris saw a doctor, then started therapy for his back. It worked for a time, but his pain returned in late July.
He saw a different doctor, and an X-ray revealed what looked to be an infection in the area of the L2 and L3 vertebra.
Parris was referred to a neurosurgeon, who performed an MRI. The next day, Parris underwent a biopsy, and the culture from the abscess on his back was diagnosed as MRSA. He began an eight-week regimen of antibiotics, which he completed about a month ago. He's getting back to normal and expects to resume playing sports in January.
A question surrounding Parris' case was how he contracted MRSA from the hip injury, which had no open wound. Tracing his steps, he recalled a knee wound from earlier in the 2008 season.
One of his coaches treated the infection that developed on his knee, but no one foresaw what doctors say likely happened after that.
"I didn't think anything of it until they told me I had staph," Parris said. "They asked if I had any places that got infected prior to my (hip) injury in October, and I said I had this one place on my knee.
"They said that's probably where it started. When I got hurt, it harbored around my spine. When I put stress on it, it released and started eating my disc and stuff."
Not MRSA, but scary
Ward Reid's father said doctors don't know for sure how his son developed methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, or the lesser staph infection more commonly called MSSA. Perhaps the culprit was the cut Ward Reid had on one of his elbows about two weeks prior to JCA's victory over Skyline on Sept. 25.
Whatever the cause, the certainty is that the junior lineman suffered a hip injury in the Skyline game, touching off an infection that left him hospitalized for nine days.
His symptoms started with fever on the Saturday night following the Skyline game.
"We just thought it was the flu," Frank Reid said. "There's been so much going around, so we were just waiting it out.
"Finally, Sunday night, it just got to the point where we had to take him to the emergency room. His fever was staying so high."
Ward Reid was not admitted that night "because they said they couldn't find anything wrong with him," Frank Reid said.
But fever persisted, and the Reids returned to the hospital two days later. Doctors admitted Ward Reid upon discovering effects on his liver and spleen.
"And we started noticing that he was turning yellow," Frank Reid said.
It took until Friday, a week following the hip injury in the Skyline game, for the culture to grow and reveal that Ward Reid had MSSA.
"They kept telling us a different diagnosis, but every time the test would come back negative on all the other things they were saying it was," Frank Reid said. "It was almost like staph was the very last thing they were looking for."
Doctors told the Reids that MSSA "was the good one to have, if you were going to have it," Frank Reid said. "But it sure was rough on him."

But perhaps if they show you, you'll see for yourself — the broad grins, fast legs. The slingshot starts for training runs at Anniston High School, because none of them wants to start slow. None of them knows how to start slow. The high-fiving as they race down Christine Avenue. The miles they can run now that before they couldn't.
"Sometimes it's a challenge, but I like running," 12-year-old Lamont Hutto said. "The best part is being able to do something I didn't think I'd be able to do."
The Anniston Middle schooler and his fellow We All Run group-mates met at the high school Wednesday for a last training run before the Woodstock 5K. Most of these 15 kids have been meeting four days each week all summer to build up endurance, learn running safety and tips and — most importantly — get in shape to run alongside 1,500 other entrants in today's big race.
Group leader Joseph Jankoski started the We All Run effort in June to encourage city students and west Anniston kids to live healthier, more active lives. We All Run does that, Jankoski said, by exposing these teens to the area's ample running opportunities, the 800-member Anniston Runners Club and the Woodstock 5K, the club's flagship footrace.
Nine of the We All Run kids plan to run all of the 3.1 miles today. The other six will participate in the one-mile "Kidstock" race.
On the eve of the group's final training run, Jankoski said it's been rewarding to watch his kids develop as runners and become more enthusiastic about the sport as well as race day.
"I'm glad that doing this has kind of inspired some of these kids," he said, after leading the group through race visualization exercises in the high school parking lot. "Some couldn't really run that far. Now, they pretty much run the whole thing."
To be sure, under the patient guidance of Jankoski and other runners club volunteers, the We All Run kids have made transformations. Anniston senior Chris Fantroy used to falter running on hills. Now, the 16-year-old has the lung power to get up and over them, with confidence if not ease.
Jimmy Felton, 11, likes to exercise now, and he's made new friends since he joined the group.
Antonio Henderson, 15, realized that he enjoys racing people, picking them off as their legs tire.
Fourteen-year-old Zebedee Lunsford doesn't mind when other friends call him crazy. He enjoys the feeling of "striding it out" at the top of Leighton Avenue, one of the Woodstock course's particularly long inclines.
And for Hutto, the companionship of running has become an important part of his week. At the Anniston Runners Club's Thursday training runs this summer, the rising eighth-grader found himself running the Woodstock course alongside former club president Brooke Nelson.
"I enjoy her company," said Hutto, who hopes to finish today's race in about 28 minutes. "I really do."
All group members are racing in new yellow technical shirts and running shoes donated to the group by the local Junior League. (Henderson said his new shoes felt like "walking on pillows.")
Additionally, donations from community residents have paid the registration fees for the kids and the runners club covered their $8 per person pasta dinners on Friday. Before carbo-loading at the pre-race dinner, We All Run members received their neon yellow shirts, which Fantroy showed off before joining the group line for pasta.
As he waited for his plate, Anniston middle schooler Stedman Stansil noted this will be his first 5K race. Later, Lunsford pointed out a runners club member he hoped to beat today.
The kids also helped organizers set up for the race on Friday. High spirits obvious as they unloaded coolers off a pickup truck, they chattered amongst themselves.
"Man, I'm sweating out here, and I'm not even running," 17-year-old Ki-Jana Byrd exclaimed.
Race director Dennis Dunn said it's been heartwarming to watch the progress of the We All Run kids, to see some of the parents run alongside them during their practices on the hilly Woodstock course.
"The fact that group is meeting — and the runners club is actually helping to train that group to get them acclimated to running — that's been huge," Dunn said. "We're very excited to get those kids involved, and to get kids who probably normally wouldn't be involved."

Hi guys.
I am thinking about mounting a larger pulley wheel on the RD of my TT bike. Why? Mainly because I can (well maybe), and I actually think it looks kinda cool.
What will I need to change? Should I get a longer cage? - And where do I get those large pulley wheels?
I know that some cheaper Shimano groups come with large pulleywheels, but I don't want to downgrade my DA RD.

1375 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY | Directions 1420942.921189 -78.867622
Neighborhoods: Delaware-West Ferry
Best in Buffalo – Atmosphere is pathetic, but the food is outstanding, and that is saying a lot in the gastronomic wasteland that is Buffalo. Excellent thai calamari starter, good portions - in all the best restaurant in WNY.
Outstanding cuisine! – Visited Hutch's on a recent trip to Buffalo and could not have been more impressed. I've had the pleasure of eating at many fine restaurants in the U.S. and abroad, and this restaurant ranks among the best i've been to. Our party was eight people, and we shared many of our dishes. I had the veal chop stuffed with fontina cheese, which was fantastic, and would highly recommend the lamb chops and sesame-crusted yellowfin tuna as well. The appetizers, particularly the stuffed poblano peppers, were terrific and the desserts delicious (I had key lime-flavored gelato). Additionally, I can not fail to mention that the service was outstanding from beginning to end. Any trip to Buffalo should include a meal here!
Best Soft Shell Crab ANYWHERE! – Soft shell crab, as most know, is seasonal. I can't WAIT until it comes in so I can head straight for Hutch's! It is by far my favorite meal. There is nothing disappointing about this place. The sevice is second to none and the meal will never disappoint. Hutch manages a very tight ship and it shows! The bar is sultry and romantic. I love cozy-ing up to it with a great glass of red wine. You must try a Mojito here too! Nothing but the best at Hutch's.
Fresh seafood makes this trendy bistro's fusion food fantastic. – In Short
This busy restaurant on Gates Circle has a series of low-ceilinged rooms jam-packed with Buffalo's hip elite. Brick walls, French posters from the '50s and white linen give Hutch's a French bistro feel. Some favorites are soft-shell crabs or stuffed poblano chiles with goat cheese, black beans, Monterey jack and tomatillo sauce. Fresh daily specials have appetizers like Maine crab spring rolls and fried calamari on Asian vegetables with a spicy vinaigrette. Entrees lean toward seafood (jambalaya pasta is a favorite), but meat selections, and the occasional offering of venison, are also served.
User review by jguerra – Excellent food and good atmosphere. It's expensive but its worth it.
send me to hutch's – excellent food in a romantic setting. my girlfriend and i went on a cold winter night and the food was so warm and comforting. almost all of their appetizers were good and the lamb chops are a must! the place is a tad small and a bit pricey, but the food and service is second to none. definitely going back.
Best restaurant in Buffalo – My wife and I are returning from Tucson, AZ, in part, to be reunited with Hutch's! Whenever we want the best cusine and service in town we head for Hutch's. I have had nothing but great meals here and the service is outstanding, beginning with Patrick. Whenever anyone asks us about our favorite Buffalo restaurant, we do not hesitate with our reply. My favorite is the steak au poivre while my wife prefers the soft-shelled crab.
Love or Hate Relationship?! – Well.. well! I finally get to update this review. Over five years ago, when there were a few negative reviews, my opion actually made sense! It seems to me, not that I've now known Hutch for over 32 years, whom ever has a chance to experience this great little place, must go! Funny thing, I've traveled all over the world and sat in 5 star restaurants that were spectacular! However, I was really wishing I was back home in Hutch's! So, the rest of the previous review doesn't matter anymore but, you still have to call ahead for a reservation. Oh yeah, I agree, the fried oysters are outstanding!
One of our favorites – Hutch's has never disappointed. The food is great, servers are courteous and helpful, ambience is upbeat. The appetizers can easily serve as a meal - we especially love the fried oysters, stuffed poblano pepper and salads.

On Baseball
8:28 PM CDT, May 7, 2013
Almost 10 years. That's how long it has been since the Cubs beat the Cardinals in a series that mattered, not that St. Louis fans would remember it.
When Dusty Baker's 2003 team took four out of five from the Cardinals in a four-day September war that included one 15-inning victory and two one-run wins, Wrigley Field was the center of the baseball universe. Every game, every inning, was electric. But a Chicagoan would get laughed at if he started talking about that series some night at Shannon's or another St. Louis bar.
The Cardinals have worked so much magic since then that it must run together at times — the 2006 team that went 83-79 during the regular season and beat the Tigers in the World Series; the 2011 team that got down to its last strike twice in the World Series and came back to beat the Rangers; and the team that recovered from a 6-0, fourth-inning deficit to knock the Nationals out of the playoffs last October.
It's only May, but the Cardinals already are doing it again. They've built the National League's best record while hitting .235 when it matters the least and .328 when it really counts, with runners in scoring position.
"I don't think there's anything that's magical about what we do,'' general manager John Mozeliak said over the phone. "We just have a deep lineup. When you have guys that can really hit from one to eight, you always have that chance of scoring runs. To do the kind of things we've done is really a reflection of how good our hitters are.''
Is it? Or is it that classic logo, with the bird sitting on the bat?
Think about it. The bird's not very big, but he doesn't look worried, does he? He might as well be a hawk or an eagle, surveying the landscape without a care.
"There have been down (times) for this organization,'' said manager Mike Matheny, who succeeded Tony La Russa last season and got his team to the NL Championship Series. He's right, of course, but it's hard to think about those times when the big moments start piling up this high (11 World Series championships, 18 NL pennants).
How do they do it? How do they win so regularly, so often seemingly overcoming the game's relentless math, while facing financial limitations that meant they would get outbid for Albert Pujols?
"It's about players,'' said Carlos Beltran, the seven-time All-Star outfielder who was signed after Pujols jumped to the Angels. "It's about being able to get the players — the veterans, the younger guys. This organization does a great job in scouting people, developing minor league players.''
David Freese, who broke the Rangers' hearts in 2011, is homegrown. Ditto catcher Yadier Molina, cleanup hitter Allen Craig, leadoff man Matt Carpenter, center fielder Jon Jay, shortstop Pete Kozma and starting pitchers Lance Lynn, Jaime Garcia and Shelby Miller.
Before Tuesday's game, both Beltran and Matheny referred to the Cardinals taking player development and scouting "seriously.'' Every organization talks about creating a pipeline to the big leagues, but St. Louis has sustained Branch Rickey's legacy with the influence of instructors such as the late George Kissell, who spent 69 years in the organization before his death in 2008.
Mozeliak is from the new school of baseball GMs. He knows how to crunch numbers, which is why he refers to the "randomness'' of success in given situations, such as Games 6 and 7 against the Rangers and Game 5 against the Nationals. But he points out the Cardinals consistently win in the minors too, citing the three consecutive championships won by teams outfield prospect Oscar Taveras has played on.
"Playing big games, facing great expectations, becomes second nature to (Cardinals players),'' he said.
Beltran knows about life on the other side of baseball. His Royals team won 64 games when he was a rookie in 1999, and it never got much better for him in Kansas City, unless you count half-seasons. He points to a huge benefit of playing for the Cardinals.
"There is no one here who ever feels like he has to do it or else,'' Beltran said. "I never feel like I have to get a hit because if I don't, we are not going to win. You are never the only chance in this lineup. If I don't do it, Matt (Holliday) can do it, Craig, Yadi … everybody, really. When you're in a position like this, it's a lot easier to have success.''
Like the bird on the bat, the guys in the St. Louis clubhouse carry themselves with confidence. They set the standard the Cubs are chasing, and there's a reason the guys in Vegas bet on streaks.
