Z5 Mobile
The Z5 Mobile app allows deaf and hard of hearing people to make and receive point-to-point calls to/from any videophone, as well as make and receive calls to hearing people using video relay service (VRS). The free app is compatible with iPhone 4 or newer, iPad 2 or newer and iPod Touch 4th Generation or newer.
Z5 features a clean, simple graphic interface design that makes it easy to communicate with friends, family and business contacts—hearing or deaf—anywhere WiFi 3G, or LTE is available. (WiFi is strongly recommended to ensure the best video quality for your calls.)
The app's integrated "Contacts" address book includes phone numbers stored locally on your iOS device, as well as those contained in your Z profile account. By using the "Favorites" feature, you can quickly find frequently used contacts by setting them apart from the rest of your contacts. You can also customize your contacts by adding avatars (pictures).
Other features include video mail, digital whiteboard, VCO Plus and HolaVRS, not to mention the industry's best interpreters! Learn more about Z5 Mobile and all of The Z's products and services at www.zvrs.com.
Ready to download Z5 Mobile now? First create a free profile account and get your personal 10-digit number at www.zvrs.com/z5mobile.
How It Works
Choose to place a call from your contacts list or by manually dialing the number you would like to call. If it's a ZVRS or VCO Plus call, the video interpreter will establish the video session and connect to the hearing caller. If it's a point-to-point call, you will connect directly to the other caller's videophone.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I been away a long time (2 years) and came back, Im having some real problems grasping the new way classes work. And Im sure are others, but the same OLD things in groups are still here. As an Ex guild Leader and ex guild member (cant deal wit hte drama anymore) LFG is all that is left, and sadly right now, its worse than Guilds (I know, some guilds are great, just like some people win in vegas, its just I have had no luck). recently I was in a group (low low level) in BFD, we lost 4 healers for several reason, some there own, some the tanks, and some DPS issues, not trying to lay blame (yet). I kept saying wait for tank to grab agro, assist tank etc.. NICELY! we wiped a few times I kept comming back, I kept my DPS (as a dps ) at #1 or #2, I kept pulling adds off Healer, I assisted tank. After 4 healer drops, 2 DPS drops, and about 6 wipes the TANK lights all brazers at Naga statue.. I say "Please, not all at once" we wipe. the responce I get was "noob hunter" (which is kinda true with my lack of knowledge on the Hunter class right now). I asked how I made may mistake (with intentions of correcting it) and was told I attacked first.. mntioned no, I was assisting tank and did not attack untill the healer had pulled agro off tank (attacked the targets on Healer).. to which i was told Logs shnow different. Which they didnt, but how do you argue or even handle that? me and tank where only original members of group, so I guess it was me or tank messing up.. All I know is assit tank so I dont pull agro, try keep healer alive if they pull agro.. Not sure why but this ONE incident has soured me enouhg I havent played in several days... I know, thick skin and all.. Its the FIRST group I have ever dropped from in mayb 3-500 LFG runs.. just to many people who cant accept that they may have issues with playstyle ( myslef included i guess) the game is getting worse, not better in some respects.

text: After a night of partying Jammie Waters is thinking about all the fun she had. Calling on the hot guy next door she invites him over to help her around the house then repays him with sexual favors. He suckles at her tits like a hungry babe and waits for her to spread her legs and let him touch her warm center. She whips out his dick, sucks on his balls and give him a blow job before laying back to let him climb between her legs. He eases his boner into her hot bald pussy and changes positions frequently in order to bring them both to orgasm.

"A puddle of the contaminated water was emitting 100 millisieverts an hour of radiation, Kyodo news agency said.
Masayuki Ono, general manager of Tepco, told Reuters news agency: "One hundred millisieverts per hour is equivalent to the limit for accumulated exposure over five years for nuclear workers; so it can be said that we found a radiation level strong enough to give someone a five-year dose of radiation within one hour."
..and 300 tons of that same water has been pouring into the ocean everyday for God knows how long.

Tips for reducing lower body injuries
The legs are athletic workhorses, prone to injuries from overuse and accidents. The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Sports Medicine offers the following advice to help protect the hips, knees, ankles, and feet during sports and exercise:
- Wear proper footwear for an activity, such as running shoes for running and basketball shoes for basketball.
- If you have flat feet or high arches, wear shoe inserts to support your feet. You may need to wear the inserts for brief periods of time at first, because it may take a couple of weeks to become accustomed to wearing them.
- Tape or brace your ankles for more stability.
- Before you exercise, always warm up and carefully stretch the muscles needed for certain exercises or sports. Be sure your muscles are warm before you stretch, because cold muscles are more prone to injury, according to some studies.
- Start training slowly and increase the intensity of your workouts gradually; don't take part in activities above your skill level.
- Avoid running on uneven surfaces or trail running.

Anyways, Jake Peavy has resigned himself to the fact that he will be traded soon, and the Doyers are one of the teams that has shown interest.
About moving Peavy said:
"It is sad to think that this is probably my last day in here. We all realize the reality of the situation and I am prepared with that to happen soon. [GM Rick Hahn] has been outstanding through the whole time this has been talked about. This is a tough situation for Rick to be in. I don't think any of us at the start of the season thought we would be in the shape we are in now. Rick has been open and honest, up front with me and my representation. I think anyone in this clubhouse would tell you Rick Hahn is a first-class individual and this is a first-class organization. We have been on the same page the whole time."
The pitcher was also scratched from Tuesday's game, which has only further fueled rumors.
There's no real indication of who the frontrunners are in negotiations, but after the crazy Dodgers trades last season and dealing with the pitcher situation from earlier this season, they could still be trying to land him.
Then again, they just signed Brian Wilson so that may be enough spending for one day.

Dave, maybe you can get Merissa to put tabs back into yahoo mail. Good luck with that. Thanks for your years at the NYT. Always liked your reviews.
dp is very possibly the most humorous man in tech "shew" business. 'Course Brian Tong over at C-Net ain't no slouch neither. dp gets the whole point which is to help readers be empowered in their personal and professional lives by the digital revolution without getting so fan boy snooty up there in dweeb territory.
Who loves ya baby?
Going from one loser to another. The weather is better though and you're getting closer to real companies.
David Pogue will add to a Yahoo resurgence and the NY Times will miss him. Yahoo needs to put a good team around David to get the most "Knowledge Economy" bang-for-the-buck they can from his tech knowledge.
I thought that David was an ok writer. He wrote for the average8th grader which is ok. If I wanted an in depth review of a new computer or cell phone I would go the trade journals as they were more in depth and technical. Who cares about the NY Times anyway. Good luck to him in his new venture.
Wow. A shocker, but understandable. Many journalists are leaving newspapers because of declining circulation and cutbacks in benefits. My ex-newspaper stopped contributing to our pension plan. Thankfully the plan is controlled by the Newspaper Guild, otherwise it probably would been killed altogether, jeopardizing my retirement.Some companies have killed pensions altogether. David once mentioned my name in one of his many books. Yahoo wins. The industry loses.
Does anyone even use yahoo. Oh wait I did, 10 years ago. He is going to be sorry in about a year.

Get Your George On: 10 Washington Inspired Products
On the third Monday of February we honor the first President of the United States, George Washington. Washington's Birthday has been a Federal holiday since 1879 and in recent years, when we started calling it Presidents Day, has become synonymous with mattress and car sales. We've rounded up ten items that honor Washington the man — from portraits to an iPod skin to dollar bill art.
• The Mount Vernon Estate of Colours Fan Deck, available for $50, is a collaboration between Mount Vernon and Fine Paints of Europe. 30 of the colors are painstakingly duplicated directly from Mount Vernon's interior, while period artifacts are the inspiration for many of the other colors in the Estate of Colours collection.
• This George Washington portrait by Vladimir Gorsky has a pop art style that brings a modern touch to the most famous American of the 18th century. Contact artist for pricing.
• The George Washington Bedspread, shown here from P.C. Fallon Co., may make you think of your grandmother's house. The cotton bedspreads were popular in the 1930s, and even then were a reproduction of the bedspreads used by Mr. and Mrs. Washington. Starting at $125
• This Staffordshire Bust of George Washington sold for $690 when it was auctioned by Cowan's Auctions in February of 2007. Busts of Washington are a dime a dozen on Ebay so keep your eyes peeled for one of your own.
• Slap this George Washington Enjoys 3D iPhone Skin on your phone and ponder such questions as 'who would George call?' and 'what movie would george see?' $49
• This 12-piece George Washington Bicentennial Plate Collection is being offered for $1,200. Each plate depicts a historical scene from our first president's life.
• Nothing says America like folk art! This woodcarving by James Neill of Ozark, Missouri is available on etsy for $248. The piece, measuring 24" tall, is carved from pine and painted in acrylic.
• Bidding on this George Washington Needlepoint Portrait ends on February 25. Dated from the 19th Century, the portrait is inscribed Souvenir to Doctor Johnson, from the orphans of St. Vincent's Asylum. Historical and creepy!
• Rest your weary head on George Washington's face with this silk pillow. Available from Spitfire Girl for $60, you too can see what Martha woke up to every morning.
• This amazing skull by Scott Campbell is constructed from dollar bills, which of course feature President Washington rather prominently. Contact artist for pricing.
Images: As linked above.

my grandmother actually does have a bedspread very similar to this one. i've always liked it.
That Vlad Gorsky GDub looks like a paint-by-numbers. I want it.
What a tacky, dumbed - down, sad little web site AT has become!
Normally, I think it's disturbing and sycophantic to display an image of a president or politician in your home, but the Founding Fathers are the exception.

Have I ever told you,
how I feel,
It all seems so unreal.
from the first day I knew,
how I felt about you.
I wanted to tell you then,
I was scared you would laugh,
think me daft.
Then what would I do.
Pray for another day,
to talk to you.
That seems so long ago
now you know,
I don't need to worry,
you will think me daft,
I know your not like that.
I know you are honest and true,
Your humour appeals to me too,
there aren't many people as good as you,
Iam glad I told you.
In my heart there is no doubt,
these feelings are here to stay,
not just for today.

I read the Mr. Biden is now saying that all we need is double barreled shotguns. Looking forward to his Secret Service detail trading their Sigs and Glocks for Stevens side by sides. Maybe we can pick up the law enforcement trade ins. Just as Obamacare is not for Congressman but only for the common folk, personal protection will only be for the elite if they have their way.

Topic - My first road bike is bought! (Pic included)
Andy Mountains - on 09 Oct 2012
Couldn't help but share this as it was UKC which pointed me in the direction of the Triban 5 which I had never heard of before!
Been looking at buying my first road bike for a while now and decided on the BTwin Triban 3 or 5 as budget limited. Was going to buy new and had been to Decathalon shop to check size (60cm) etc..
Anyway saw this on ebay yesterday and had a bid, got it for Ł370 in the end.
Its a 12 month old Triban 5 (which was apparently only used for 3 months) with a few upgrades which are: Shimano Ultegra carbon pedals, carbon stem, full mudguards, Cateye computer, Shimano 105 derailleurs & Hutchinson equinox tyres.

If you're trying to place blame on when the Braves blew their shot at making the playoffs, it wasn't when Matt Diaz was caught off base trying to score against the Florida Marlins. That would have made the score only 5-5, and the game could still have been won.
And it wasn't when Frank Wren was slow to pull the trigger on John Smoltz, leaving him to hook up with the Red Sox. Nor when Tom Glavine was turned down, in essence making way for Tommy Hanson in the pitching rotation. Au contraire, a stroke of glowing luck.
No, it goes way back longer than that. (And with this, I promise never to bring it up again.) It was when the Braves traded Adam Wainwright — as if he wasn't enough — and Jason Marquis to the Cardinals for J.D. Drew, the nomadic outfielder. (Eli Marrero, the mysterious Latin also came along, but he created more dilemma than offense.)
And, of course, more recently the disastrous deal that robbed the farm system of five high-grade prospects to Texas for Mark Teixeira, the temporary first baseman. Five, mind you, starting pitcher, a catcher with long-range value, a shortstop now among the finest in the other league, Elvis Andrus, and maybe best of them all, the relief pitcher named Neftali Feliz.
They patched some of the holes, like signing Garret Anderson, the expression-less outfielder, then had to turn around and undo the deal that sent Adam LaRoche to the Pirates, by way of the Red Sox. LaRoche had been traded away in exchange for Mike Gonzalez, another of those one-inning bullpen wonders.
There's nothing like what-might-have-been. Some of the best deals in baseball are those that are never made. It is quite likely that after all those 14 seasons of ringing up those banners over the left-field fence, that the Braves brass was beginning to pant for a return to glory. Their scouts had brought in some glistening prospects, only to have them squandered in disastrous trades. Nothing worse than the one that sent a pitcher developed under their noses here in the state, in Brunswick, also a tough out at-bat — Wainwright, who hits as well as he pitches. A 20-game winner for years down the road. Marquis, winner of 15 games at Denver — after being passed around to the Cubs and Cardinals — wasn't popular with the brass. But waste a 15-game winner because he's quirky?
Under Wren's care, some good deals were made, and some not so good. He invested heavily in Kenshin Kawakami, the good-natured Japanese, who has since fallen from grace — into the bullpen. Derek Lowe cost even more, and true, he found a way to win 15 times, but his earned-run average outweighed his value, by a bunch. The Braves invested $60 million in him over the long haul. Just how much of this they can afford into future seasons is yet to be seen.
But, you will have to conclude that one major reason Bobby Cox decided to stick around another season is that he must have felt it a shame to leave with a gold-nugget pitching staff on hand. So there.
As for Matt Diaz, he's a good card to have in your hand. Not only was he the Braves' leading hitter, but he has never made a move that he didn't make with the idea that it might win the game. Yep, he does have a kind of unscripted swing, but you can believe this — he'll be back, and the Braves will win with him.

Once again Furman lets us all know he's been around long enough to get to waste AJC resources with impunity. So easy to point to the stinker trades as the reason why the Braved faltered down the stretch, but it was their bats and not their pitching that hurt them. You constantly drone on about not keeping Wainright so your statement that pointing this out for the last time is likely a grand lie. It was a bad trade in hindsight but move on, man.
And for those keeping up with the Bisher (Crutch Devices) Drinking Game, remember to take a shot for his "Eli Marrero, the mysterious Latin . . ." and another for "Kenshin Kawakami, the good-natured Japanese (aren't they all in your world, Furman? Well, the ones who aren't inscrutable, right?) . . ."
Leave the Braves alone and go back to writing about how nobody runs the Winged-T anymore or how the set shot has disappeared from the NBA or how many named you cannot pronounce in the LPGA.

Enter your comments hereThis team was good enough to make the playoffs this season, major reason is the poor coaching staff and next season will be the same old Cox sitting in the dugout waiting for something to happen instead of doing something to try and make it happen, the only way we win and make the playoffs is if our guys do it on their own.

I agree with you on the 2 trades. You didn't give the third reason the Braves didn't make play offs=BOBBY COX! You can say what you wish but you can't hide Bobby's stupid moves and insanely loyal man crushes on JF,KJ, Schafer, A. Jones etc. Can't wait till 2011 when his a@@ is gone. Damn we got another year of this BS to go.

Why is it necessary to describe Eli Marrero as a mysterious "Latin" and KK as a good natured "Japanese?" You didn't mention that J.D. Drew is some "white guy" nomadic outfielder.

Poor Jeff is just like the most realistic of us poor Braves fans — he's spot on, as the Brits say. But all of the many different assorts of us here in the Braves nation apparently can't all tell it like has been — it seems so similar to the political realities that our nation has suffered (don't want to open that can of worms here). The Bobby Cox problem is sooo apparent to even the most casual observer, and really the biggest problem to the Braves organization. Never mind the wild card, I don't think it's overstating the reality that we could have realistically have won the East with some savy management over the first half of the season. This has all been hashed to death here before. Point is that the Atlanta media hasn't the balls to get past the current reality of our venerated manager's legacy. Once could say that this same ongoing boy's club prejudice within the Brave organization has been the club's greatest weaknesses over the course of the Bobby Cox era. And now hovers over the glaring ineptness of it's manager for a period of several years in gratitude. Over stated, I'd say.

Braves are done. They will not win the division nore make the playoffs next year. All fingers should be pointing to Wren and Schurholz just like this article suggests. These trades basically set the franchise back years. I hope Schurholz AND Wren retire with Cox. Adios.

"Winthrop09″, you assume I was talking about the economy, I'm talking about the loss of standards and morals in our society. Some people can't even blog with any civility, I guess they think it's o.k., being anonymous. Same way in the public, no respect for other people, even if there's a little ol' grandma standing near them, talking trash and swearing. Hopefully you won't be in public with your wife or daughter when it happens to your familly, some guys or even girls swearing near you. Not an easy thing to have to explain to a young child what some ugly words might mean, if they were to ask. But then again, what do I know, I only went to war when my country called during the Vietnam War. Way back then, they called it a "draft". Didn't know then what I know now, just low life politicians playing with peoples lives. Hopefully you or your son won't find out. I'm just saying, I wish there were more respect for one another or more pride.

I totally agree with your assessment of the long term damage done by the Wainwright trade. Imagine him with Hanson and JJ for the next ten years and you've got a rotation on par with the one in the 90s. But Schuerholtz got so obsessed with the short term that he forgot the future. If he' been willing to have an occasional rebuilding years then likely the Braves would have won more World Series titles in the last 20 years–certainly at least as many as the Marlins. Jason Schmidt would have been nice to have back too. When might Wainwright be a free agent? It would be wise to get him back home where he belongs.

Go out and get Jermaine Dye and Josh Willingham during the offseason Dye can play left field and Willingham can play right. This will give the braves some power bats that they lacked this year at those positions.
October 4th, 2009

Yea, and they lost this year because they let Albert Pujols drop to the 15th round.
Or when they drafted Joseph McBride instead of David Wright, and the next year when they picked up Jeff Francoeur even though Matt Cain was available.

This article makes no sense what so ever. Jason Marquis was a very bad example hes a forth starter at best. Are you serious the Braves make more good trades than bad. Here are a few examples over the last few years. Edgar Renteria for Jair Jurjens and Gorkys Hernandez we get a future ace which he pretty much is already. Thomas Flowers and brent lillibridge for Javy Vasquez already a win for the braves well see how it plays out for the sox bug Vasquez has been an ace for the braves from the start. You named 2 bad trades and i can't think of another one at the moment more good trades are Jose Ascino for infante and ohman, diaz trade was a great one, and also soriano and O'flarety are two more good trades but the braves usually make some of the best trades. Furman next time come up with something that actually makes sense you are very desperate to hate on the braves. Really Marquis? Man you have to laugh that one off.

For me, the good of the season has been erased by a 5 (maybe 6 game) losing streak to close the season. The Braves have played erratic all year and here we go again. They need to dump D-Lo, Kama-whatever, and get some hitting. The facts are that pitching does NOT win penants anymore. Look at the Philllies…….OK pitching with great hitting. We have really good pitching, but need the monster home hitter now who doesnt slump every 2 weeks like this bunch.

Bischer, late to the party on this topic. Many columnist have already made this point over and over again for the past three years. So, did it take you this long to come to a realization others and fans have already reached, or are you just filling your allotted amount of inches to pull a paycheck?

Guys, guys, guys…you're missing the point. It wasn't those trades that doomed the Braves in 2009. You gotta all the way back to the 80's when we traded Brett Butler for Len Barker…now that's why we didn't win in 09.

I agree with Country Boy. Bobby Cox stuck with players who weren't performing for too long. Where would the Braves be if Infante and Prado had been inserted into the lineup , say after 20 games of the season. Twenty games should be enough time to prove you are a starter. Also, why didn't Bobby drop Chipper down in the batting order when it was clear he was not hitting? We may be in for more of the same next season.
October 4th, 2009
8:47 am
The Braves are finishing the season, as they have played almost all of the season. Chipper, since late June, has been positively terrible. No offensive help, and it seems every ball that he boots, leads to runs, that cost a ballgame. We have one or two decent hitters, and NO "money" hitters (Yunel, perhaps)…those guys that get the BIG hit in the clutch. We have wasted yet another great pitching performance by JJ. Lowe is as close to worthless as one can get, at 15 mil a year. He is a 6th starter on his best day. KK is a better than Lowe. Stick a fork in Derek Lowe. He, Chipper, and Bobby Bozo (the leader of the clowns) should retire NOW. If this team had even MEDIOCRE hitting they would have won 100 games. Manny Acosta…96 MPH of loser. That's all he'll ever be as a pitcher. No command. None. Consistent only as a chocker… It's hard to watch the last 5 games, after a great run of 15-2, BUT, the last 5 games are much more true to form for this group of batters box non-producers, than the 15-2 run. Chipper is telling us how the fans can be encouraged…that the Braves can compete next year…then he does an 0 for 5 games…ya, he's one to listen to…he'll lead the club…
October 4th, 2009

They should have brought Hanson up to start the season in the bigs this year and should have at least brought Heyward up after the all star break….That would have done the job. Instead we had wasted starts by Jo Jo and Goricki as a fill in outfielder down the strectch. Thats the difference.
October 4th, 2009

This line that the Braves wouldn't have made the playoffs without Just the Dollars Drew in 2004 is sheer nonsense. The team's offense was loaded that year. What the Braves needed was a couple of seasoned, successful pitchers.
The Wainwright and Tex trades were possibly the worst ever made by JS before he was bumped upstairs. But, I think Wren learned from those mistakes.
In hindsight, Lowe's not worth a $60 million deal – but that's hindsight. Last winter, he got what the market would bear. The Braves paid happily. There's some scuttlebutt that Wren may dangle Lowe this winter in exchange for a power bat. Not a bad idea, and better than dealing Vazquez.
And Lowe did win 15 games and give the Braves the 200 innings guy they wanted. Having said that, he's easily the number 4 starter on the staff. Not worth the balance of his contract.
October 4th, 2009

October 4th, 2009

Mr. Bisher (and the rest of you morons), yes the farm was depleted but the Braves were exactly where they wanted to be, in the playoffs every year. I am sure the front office felt like they were one player away from another championship and made those trades to put them over the top. If you want to place blame, how about the failure of Mr. Cox to deliver when given those lineups?

October 4th, 2009
10:01 am
The Braves have made a lot of dumb trades over the years. But the Mark Teixeira trade was the dumbest. We gave up so much for so little return.
The Braves' hopes for next year depend on keeping Adam LaRoche, praying that Chipper bounces back and finding two outfielders with some power. We already know that the best starting pitchers can't win a Division title.
October 4th, 2009
10:08 am
If you look at the Braves' payroll, you soon understand that the folks who carried the team were making the least, for the most part, while the 'superstars' were dead weight. Let's start with Lowe. $15 million for an ERA near 4.7. Chipper Jones, hitting, what, .230 the last 2/3 of the year? $10 mill wasted there, but Bobby would rather die than move him from the number 3 spot. What was Bobby waiting on, for Chipper to turn it around the last two days of the season? Kawakami. Mediocre at best and $8.34 mil a year! Klley Johnson, $2.8 mil and can't hit his way out of a wet paper sack! Soriano? Give me a break! 6 mill and way overrated! CHurch at, what, another $2.8 mill? How many games did he play to hit his 4 HRs this year? Norton? Good God, he didn't hit .140 but yet Cox continued to utilize him, as if he, too, would break his 'slump' at some time. Bobby COx and the Braves organization need to get real in assessing the club. And Buddy Carlisle with an ERA of around 8. is still in uniform? Come on Bobby, old age isn't catching up with you that bad, is it? Move the players or retire even earlier? WREN, where you at? THINK !
October 4th, 2009
10:14 am
Oh, and let's not forget about Hudson. For $15 million, he should be THE Ace, along with Lowe.
Trade Hudson ($15 mil), Lowe ($15 mil), Chipper ($10 mil), Kawakami ($8.3 mil), Kelly Johnson ($2.8 mil), Soriano ($6.3 mil) and thow in Church ($2.8 mil), Norton, Carlyle – and you'd still have the nucleus left on the team that was productive this year. And what could we get for all that (half the team payroll?) Speed and power. Come on Atlanta, THINK !!! IMPROVE the team next year based upon what you saw this year. And if Bobby Cox keeps Chipper in the number 3 spot while hitting like the .230 hitter he was the last 2/3 the season, WREN needs to stick his foot up Cox's tail and rotate it !!!
October 4th, 2009
10:22 am
That Drew trade was five years ago! Those pitchers are having great years this year, but that's a long time to wait when they were supposed to be ready a long time ago. It's hard to say putting up with their growing pains the last four years would have been better. And I agree with everyone who points out that none of those prospects in the Tex trade have been stars yet. Plus, the Braves also got a valuable left-handed arm for at least that year's playoff push in that trade. The Braves don't have the budget that a lot of these teams have, and have done a great job with what they do have.
October 4th, 2009
10:23 am
Furman, all of that is old news – but you are right onall points…primarily the Tex trade. All of that talent could be here now or could have been used to find us a somewhat permanent BAT now. If Wren does anything good at all in this offseeason, then Bobby might have a chance to reach the post season in his last season as a manager. Still, even with a team loaded with pitching and with the potental of new power bats, Bobby could come uo with a way to screw it up. I really do think he reached the end of his effectiveness a few years ago.
Nice summary of the deals that made very little sense.
October 4th, 2009
10:30 am
Keith – Keep either Lowe or Hudson (I prefer shipping Lowe somewhere) and we have four good to excellent starters for next year. But I do not agree with your assessment of Bobby keeping Chipper in the 3 hole. He had a bad year! Who would have expected it to last so long? He lead the league in hitting last year and has been a superior hitter his whole career – so, you keep him in the three hole and wait for him to get out of the slump – which never happened. But the facts supported that decision. Chipper is not a Kelly Johnson or Francoeur. He has proven for years that he can do it and do it well.
October 4th, 2009
10:38 am
Bisher: That's not what cost the Braves this year. What costs the Braves this year, is no different than what costs the Braves MOST years. Bobby Cox manages the first half the season like it's still Spring Training. He leaves players who are non-productive (Choker, Lowe, etc) in the game, while leaving productive players on the bench. His loyalty to players overshadows his loyalty to the fans and his desire to win, which should come first at the professional level. I think back on the game where he left Moylan in the game to hit when runners were on base in the 7th inning. It was Moylan's first careeer at bat. Yet, he pulled Moylan in the top of the 8th anyway. WTF was that for? Then, I am reminded of the game where Lowe was pitching and the other team had 6 hits off Lowe in one inning. Did Bobby pull Lowe then? No! The team got yet another hit that inning. Did Bobby pull Lowe then? No! It was only after the EIGHTH hit that Bobby finally pulled him. Cox TOO OFTEN doesn't give the TEAM a chance to win. Tell me. What moron COULDN'T have won as many games as Cox did this year, with the talent on that team? If I was Prado or Infante, I'd be raising hell with Bobby Cox or demand a trade / free agency as SOON as I could. I guess we'll have to suffer through another season of what if's next year while Cox continues to let his .230 hitter bat in the number 3 spot.
October 4th, 2009
10:49 am
VARoadRunner: I could see keeping Hudson as a Number 4 pitcher. Lowe definitely doesn't belong. (And there's talk of trading Vasquez? Unbelievable!) I guess my point on Chipper is this. You can't manage the entire year like it's spring training. If your Number 3 guy ISN"T producing, at some point in the year, you have to move him. Chipper's success last year didn't help the Braves this year. His power numbers have fallen off dramatically over the past few years, though he's always been a very good hitter. NL batting title last year noted.
2010 Lineup
Infante – 2B
Prado – 3B
Diaz – OF
Escobar – SS
LaRoche – 1B
McCann – C
Anderson – OF (trade Church, Jones, Lowe, Johnson, Kawakami, Norton, Carlyle, Soriano, etc*)
McLouth – OF
JJ, Vasquez, Hanson, Hudson
* I know some are eligible for free agency, but this will clear up money for power and speed.
October 4th, 2009
10:50 am
Now Keith is showing ignorance. Chipper is not a 230 hitter – he is a lifetime 307 hitter who is hitting 263 this year. Granted, he had a bad year FOR CHIPPER JONES. The all time average batting average for MLB is 260 – 270 which would mean that Chipper had an average year, based on his peers. Again, I agree, he had a bad year for himself. Still Bobby Cox rightfully keeps him in the 3 hole.
Now go back and get in the line, kindergarten is now over and you can go home.
Bobby has made (IMHO) many errors in judgement over the past few years and I am one of the many that thinks he is long overdue for retirement, but not because he kept the best hitter on the team in the 3 hole.
October 4th, 2009
10:53 am
Bish, perhaps you forgot the trade that also brought Hudson here, Renteria here and then traded him away in which we got Jurrjens, Soriano, and also Fred McGriff….on never mind, those wouldn't support your article.
October 4th, 2009
11:12 am
Mr. Bisher,
Your comments about Marrero and Kawakami ("the mysterious Latin and Kawakami as a good natured Japanese") are inappropriate and seemingly out of context. It smell bad.
Marrero came from Cuba when he was a 9 years old, and don't worry…they are legal workers (as well Infante, Soriano, Escobar, Prado, Suzuki,…………………………….. )
By the way, don't blame the "bad trades" for the Braves failure!!!
October 4th, 2009
11:18 am
To the guy bashing the bashers, how long do you have to keep somebody before they aren't considered rentals? In 157 games Tex hit 37 homers and 134 rbi's with about a .290 average, in 130 games KC hit about .260, with 8 homers and 61 rbi's, and in 56 games LaRoche has hit 12 homers and 40 rbi's with a .330 avg. That works out to just over 2 years 343 games, 57 homers (about 26 a year) and 235 rbi's ( about 100 a year) and about a .280-.290 avg. Not to mention the fact that we can resign Laroche and if he opts not to come back, we still get draft pick compensation for him. It doesn't look to stupid now considering that over the past three seasons, two of the years we were in the playoff chase until the end and if it weren't for a plethra of injuries to our starting pitching we would have been in it all three years. Remember, we had Julio Franco and Scott Thorman playing first base for us! Of course that deal was the right deal to make then and still is now!
October 4th, 2009

The Braves should have never gotten rid of Smoltz or Glavine! If they had paid them the big money they wanted, those two pitchers would have produced enough wins to get the division or a wild card spot. The braves blew it again!
October 4th, 2009
11:52 am
I usually do not agree with Bisher. In this case I do. None of the players received in both trades are in the Braves orginization. Most if not all of the players that the Braves gave up are helping other teams. The Braves have nothing to show except a boring team with no athleticism. They will be no better next year unless they get rid of some of the dead weight they have on the team. This team is not good as has been demonstrated in the recent five game loss streak. A good team would play better to show that they belong in the top elite. This team cannot even beat the worst team in baseball.
October 4th, 2009

Mr. Bisher,
Thank you for the sentiment and time served, but your statistically flawed column is an example of why Atlanta is the only major city you could continue to write in!
JJ was stolen from Detroit, as was Vasquez from the Whitesox!
Jason Marquis was traded 3 or 4 times after we traded him!
We cannot lament every trade that works out or doesn't, especially when the principals are mediocre at best (save Wainwright)!
AJC can you assign an Intern with actual Internet access to develop non Kentucky Derby story ideas for Mr. Bisher?
And suprise surprise who is the hero in the end? Not the Pitching MVP (JJ or Javy), not the best everyday player (Escobar)…. no the 5th outfielder (who I love by the way)!!!!
I can hear you now Whistling Dixie….wondering why no one reads this rag!

Two shows I can highly recommend so far:
The Killing - adapted from a Danish (I think) story about a girl who is murdered and each episode follows a day in the investigation. Very well made, acting is very good too.
Game of Thrones - Quite a few English actors in this and superbly made. Only watched two episodes so far but it looks amazing and really getting into it.
I've been told Boardwalk Empire is meant to be very good too (has Steve Buscemi in) but haven't got around to watching that yet.
Are there any others people could recommend...outside of the usual sci-fi/copshow stuff

The battle rounds on NBC's The Voice resumed Tuesday night, with three more sets of teammates entering the spotlight.
Once again, the coaches and the special guest mentors helped tutor the artists in rehearsals. Adam Levine was joined by OneRepublic 's Ryan Tedder ; Blake Shelton teamed with Cher ; Christina Aguilera invited Ed Sheeran ; and Cee Lo Green had R&B star Miguel by his side.
Here's a rundown of what happened on Tuesday's one-hour episode:
Team Christina's Jacob Poole and Matthew Schuler starred in the first battle round, performing a duet of the Fall Out Boy hit "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)." Adam complimented the performance by calling it a musical "a**-whooping." Christina marveled at the consistency of both artists when hitting the high notes in the song. She declared Matthew to be the winner of the battle round, and none of the other coaches opted to steal Jacob.
Kat Robichaud and R. Anthony of Team Cee Lo were assigned "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," by Aerosmith . Blake said Kat appeared "pumped" on stage, and thought she was the better artist. Christina compared her to a tiger. Kat advanced, and R. Anthony was eliminated.
Blake pit Monika Leigh against Ray Boudreaux . They took turns on the Grand Funk Railroad song "Some Kind of Wonderful." Adam said the sky's the limit for Ray. Blake liked the "freedom" that Monika expressed, but also enjoyed Ray's range. Ray triumphed over Monika, who was stolen by Cee Lo.
The show also quickly recapped three other battles:
-- Team Cee Lo's
Cole Vosbury
Lupe Carroll
-- E.G. Daily of Team Blake moved on after battling Sam Cerniglia .
-- Adam chose Ashley DuBose over Justin Blake .
The battle rounds roll on next Monday night on NBC.

WEST SALEM, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A local high school student is hoping to spread awareness for breast cancer by selling pink T-shirts.
West Salem student, Chloe Stauffer, knows what it's like to watch a loved one go through the battle of breast cancer. Her aunt Anne has been trying to beat the disease for two years. After seeing a family member struggle through the illness, Chloe decided to fund cancer research. On Tuesday, she started selling pink T-shirts. All of the proceeds will go to the Steppin' Out in Pink organization at Gunderson Lutheran.
"We're hoping to sell at least 500 and I'm pretty close already," says Chloe. "That's a good amount of money, $600 we'll almost be raising. Hopefully we can get over that amount."
The T-shirts will be worn on valentine's day at the girls basketball game between West Salem and Westby. The two teams will also be wearing pink uniforms. T-shirts are $10 and if you would like to buy one, you can E-mail Chloe at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Firewood Guy is a professional, full time firewood company which has been in business for many, many years. Our entire extended family is involved in home and garden businesses in Snohomish and we are proud members of the community.
That means we provide a reliable supply, fully seasoned wood, a FULL cord not an almost full cord, and a smile. We are family owned and run with multiple members involved in the business. We own our own trucks, log deck, and log splitting equipment.
Our firewood is gleaned from large timber tracts owned by the large corporate timber companies. They harvest the largest conifers leaving us the hemlock, alder, maple, and medium sized douglas fir. We bring the logs down to our log deck and store them there for a minimum of six months before harvesting. We nominally cut 16" lengths for our firewood. Bothell firewood can be cut to other lengths upon request. While all the wood is seasoned it is still stored out of doors and subject to rain like virtually all firewood suppliers, so order early and tarp your wood to allow it to fully dry.
Do you have questions about firewood species and burning properties? Just call and we would be happy to help you out. Call today.(Bothell, WA 98012)

The Brand Board voted 4-1 Friday to raise the inspection fee from 90 cents a head to $1.

RC4/RC5/RC6A series of symmetric encryption algorithms developed by RSA Security.
- RC4 -- a variable key-size stream cipher with byte-oriented operations. The algorithm is based on the use of a random permutation.
- RC5 -- a parameterized algorithm with a variable block size, a variable key size, and a variable number of rounds. Allowable choices for the block size are 32 bits (for experimentation and evaluation purposes only), 64 bits (for use a drop-in replacement for DES), and 128 bits. The number of rounds can range from 0 to 255, while the key can range from 0 bits to 2040 bits in size. RC5 has three routines: key expansion, encryption, and decryption.
- RC6 -- a block cipher based on RC5. RC6 is a parameterized algorithm where the block size, the key size, and the number of rounds are variable. The upper limit on the key size is 2040 bits. RC6 adds two features to RC5: the inclusion of integer multiplication and the use of four 4-bit working registers instead of RC5��s two 2-bit registers.

Ringling Bros. circus opens Tampa show under cloud of federal lawsuit
Animal advocates accuse circus of cruelty to elephants
TAMPA, FL — As Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey circus prepares for the January 7 opening of its new show in Tampa, Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute (Born Free USA) is preparing for a landmark legal showdown against the circus giant, which stands accused of abusing endangered Asian elephants in violation of federal law.
Born Free USA, along with three other national animal protection organizations and a former Ringling employee, is a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against Ringling for violating the Endangered Species Act by mistreating the endangered Asian Elephants in its care. After years of delay, the trial will force Ringling to finally answer allegations of elephant abuse in open court.
"This trial will reveal the hidden abuse occurring behind the big top at Ringling," says Nicole G. Paquette, Esq., a witness in the case and senior vice president and general counsel for Born Free USA. "I am confident that all compassionate American citizens will be outraged when they learn how these animals are treated: repeatedly hit and prodded with bullhooks and shackled on chains for hours on end, day in and day out. Since when does animal abuse — of an endangered species no less — qualify as family entertainment?"
Born Free USA's case includes video footage of Ringling employees repeatedly hitting elephants with bullhooks (a heavy stick with a sharp steel hook on the end), as well as Ringling's own internal written documents that graphically describe the mistreatment of the elephants. For example, Ringling's animal behaviorist reported "an elephant dripping blood all over the arena floor during the show from being hooked." Plaintiffs also have newly-obtained evidence that Ringling keeps elephants virtually immobilized in chains for the majority of their lives. Internal records reveal that the elephants are chained while confined in boxcars for an average of more than 26 hours at a time, and sometimes for 60–100 hours, as the circus moves across the country.
"The information that will be released as a result of our lawsuit will help the American public, especially parents spending their hard-earned family-entertainment dollars, to make a truly informed decision about whether the circus treats animals appropriately," Paquette added. "We know the answer — the circus is no place for an elephant. Abusing elephants with bullhooks and chains is simply unconscionable."Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute is a leading national non-profit animal advocacy organization working to conserve and protect wildlife in the US and globally through legislation, litigation and public education. Born Free USA is a nationally recognized leader on exotic animal legislation and a member of the Captive Wild Animal Protection Coalition and the Species Survival Network.

Always late, minimum 45min wait. Blusters in like a clown, barely spends time discussing blood sugar charts of patient, gave poor advice, most disappointed with his lack of professionalism. At that time, I was pregnant 9 weeks, with Type 1 diabetes. Fortunately, I moved to a real doctor, and was very well looked after. "Dr." Greenfield is a shame to his profession.

Chapter 23 Reviews
Six year old Frankie witnesses her mother's murder. Problem is Frankie's the only witness, and she can't tell anyone what happened. She and her brother end up in Brooklyn, but are they safe? Pre-Ne...
"Can ya write yer name kid?" A tall, well built boy with obsidian hair and eyes the color of Wedgewood, asked huskily. He was propped against the wall, his right leg bent up so the sole of one ratty leather boot was flat against the wall and he balanced on the other foot. He watched Riley and took a long drag off the half burnt cigaret he held between his thumb and pointer finger. Riley nodded as the older boy let a thin controlled stream of smoke escape his lips. "Good. Sign in there," he pointed to the ledger on the desk. "Tab says you can read too?" His dark brows lifted as he took another drag.
"Y-yes sir," Riley stammered as he wrote his name carefully.
Spot and Tab snickered.
"He ain't no sir, he's Chaos. Leadah of the Brooklyn newsies." Spot announced proudly. Deep dimples pierced his cheeks as he smiled and showed off the gaps from his two missing front teeth.
"Where ya want the kid, Chaos?" Tab asked softly. "She's damn neah froze ta death."
Chaos glared at the younger, smaller boy. "What'd I tell you bout cursin' round ladies Tabasco?"
"She ain't a lady yet," Tab rolled his dark eyes. "'Sides she's out cold."
Spot giggled and shuffled his feet.
Chaos narrowed his eyes and grunted in reply. "There's an empty bunk in the corner by Shortstop, they can share it for tonight, but she's gonna need to go to the girls bunk room tomorrow. Should be a blanket there but ya can snag the blanket from my bunk too. She needs it more than I do."
Tab nodded and hurried down the hall.
"Just follow Tab. You two are paid up for a week, courtesy of these two miscreants, give ya a chance to get the hang of things. Then it's a nickle each a night and that includes suppah. Don't look like she could eat much though. Maybe we can work somethin' out on the price if things work right."
"Thanks, Chaos." Riley looked rather pitiful but he was taking care of his sister. Very little impressed Chaos any more, but that did.
"Go on, get to bed. Mornin' comes early round heah."
Riley nodded and hurried down the hall after Tab and Frankie.
Spot started off after them and Chaos stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. The size difference was amazing. Chaos' hand was nearly the size of the scrawny newsies head.
"You come in late for curfew again Spot and you're gonna be outta here." He spoke softly but there was no doubt he was serious. "I don't wanna be a prick about it...but you've been late every night this week."
Spot sulked and fidgeted. His hands were shoved deep in his pockets and he suddenly looked very much like the eight year old he was and not the hardened pick pocket he'd become.
Chaos sighed. He'd found Spot wandering the streets when he was three years old and took him in as a newsie. Chaos wasn't one to show affection really, life was too short and too hard as a Brooklyn newsie leader to care too much for anyone. But he had a soft spot for this kid and always would. He mussed Spot's hair.
"Look Aiden, you know I'm doin' what I can, but when it gets to the point that I'm catchin hell from Murphy bout you... anyone else would have been kicked out already. "
Spot kicked the scuffed toes of his boots against the warn but clean floor. "Sorry."
Chaos sighed again. "Go on...get to bed."
Spot nodded and scurried down the hall.
"Oh, Spot?"
"Yeah?" He stopped and turned back to his leader.
"Be more careful. Tab said you guys almost got caught tonight. You get tossed in the Refuge I ain't gonna be able to getcha out again."
Spot nodded again and once Chaos waved him away he hurried to the bunk room and to his bed.
Morning did come early. Riley had lain awake most of the night, the noises of thirty some odd boys sleeping in one room was something he most definitely was not used to. The new surroundings and fears that his father would come looking for them kept his mind reeling all night.
He hugged Frankie close to him. She too had slept poorly. Nightmares of what happened to her and their mother crept into her dreams. She would wake up trembling and sit up, her mouth wide open with a scream of terror on her lips, but nothing ever came out. He was relieved, sort of, that she didn't wake the others with the nightmares, but he worried that someday she'd be in trouble and out of his sight and he wouldn't be able to help because he couldn't hear her silent screams.
Riley looked down at her and for the first time realized just how young and innocent she looked with her little thumb stuck in her mouth. She was barely six but looked closer to four because she was so small and thin.
Delicate. That's what their mother had called her. She was the sort of child that should be pampered and doted on. She should have soft slippers and scads of frilly dresses with matching hair ribbons. She should have a huge bed with lots of pillows piled high and fresh linens. Yet, here they were; sharing a bunk in the Brooklyn Lodging House for Newsboys and girls, hiding from the very man that should have protected them.
Riley sighed heavily and rubbed his dark blue eyes with the heel of his hand. He'd make sure she stayed safe. He could do that much. Chaos had mentioned her going to the girl's room but she was too little and couldn't talk. There was more than enough room for both of them in the one bunk. He made up his mind to convince Chaos to let her stay with him.
He laid there drifting between memories and dreams and had finally fallen asleep when a tall boy with bright ginger hair entered the room banging a wooden spoon against the bottom of an old metal cooking pot.
"Git up ya lazy bastids!" The boy shouted and smacked the pot loudly as he walked up and down the rows of bunk-beds and hammocks that lined the far wall.
"Shaddup Gingah!" and various other mumbling filled the room as blankets were pulled over their heads and anything in reaching distance, including a tin cup, were flung in the direction of the offensive noise.
Frankie jumped half out of her skin and clung to Riley, tears sprang to her wide eyes as she looked around the unfamiliar room.
"Shh, it's okay Angel." Riley hugged her close and smoothed her hair from her face. His use of their mother's nickname for her made her smile sadly. "I know. I miss her too. But I'm right here with ya. We got each other, alright?"
Frankie nodded and rubbed the sleepy tears from her eyes.
Riley smiled, "good girl."
The boys in the bunks surrounding them started to wake. A mixture of foul language and disgusting bodily sounds filled the room and the smell of 40 plus un or semi-washed young boys would have been over powering had they not been immune to their own stench. As they crawled from their bunks they began to take notice of the little girl and new boy among them.
A smallish boy, Riley guessed him to be about his age, perhaps a little younger, dropped down from the bunk next to them in nothing but his underwear. Upon seeing Frankie (who immediately dropped her jaw and buried her face in Riley's shoulder) the boy yelped, turned twelve shades of red, and yanked the blanket off his bunk, wrapping it around himself, shrouding himself in the rough wool from nose to toes.
"Wh-who are you? And wh-what is SHE d-doing here?" The boy stammered from the folds of his cocoon. He blinked his huge grey eyes. They were the only parts of him visible peeking out from inside the blanket, and looked a little out of place as they were so big and the rest of him was so small.
Spot dropped down from a nearby bunk. "Calm down Shortstop! Dat's Riley and his sistah...didn't catch her name but heard him call her Angel a couple times." He shrugged. "Sounds like a good name for her to me. They's new." He sniffled. The boys in the Brooklyn Lodging house were always coming down with some malady or another. When his nose continued to run, he wiped it with the back of his arm. Shortstop and Riley both made faces and Spot glared. His enormous ears stood out from the sides of his head as if at attention, and he was so small in stature that the glare merely made the rest of the boys in the bunk room laugh.
"Riley? What kinda name is dat foah a newsie?" A tiny Italian looking boy sat up in the bunk below the one Shortstop had jumped down from and rubbed his head. His shock of black hair stood on end and he blinked large deep brown eyes at Riley then looked over to Tab who had already washed his face and sat on the edge of his own bunk pulling his boots on.
"It's my real name." Riley protested and narrowed his own brown eyes at the small boy. He wasn't one to pick fights but he didn't shy away from them either and though he didn't particularly wish to fight with some little kid over his name, his body tensed just in case there was trouble.
"I see," the boy nodded and retrieved the stub of a half smoked cigar from under his pillow and popped it in his mouth.
"No smoking in the LH Racetrack." Another boy, nearly the same size and build as Riley dropped down from the bunk above his own and snatched the stub from Racetrack's mouth and tucked it into Race's shirt pocket. He shoved a shock of blonde waves from his eyes, spat in his hand and held it out to Riley. "They call me da Guv'nah. Guv for short." He continued in a thick Cockney accent.
Riley spat in his own palm and shook hands with the boy.
"Don't worry bout them none, just ain't safe most the time to go by our real names. So's when the Coppahs or other such blokes ya don't wanna see comes lookin' foah ya, no one else can get in trouble foah lying when they say they dunno nobody called Tom Kellogg oah Michael Jones...cos they don't."
"Oh, right." Riley nodded. "That's a good idea. Angel's the best thing to call my sister but...I dunno bout one for me." Riley hadn't slept well and everything now was happening so fast, his mind was reeling to keep up.
"Hmm," Guv looked him up and down. "How bout Pinstripe? Maybe Pin foah short."
Riley blinked at him.
"Well...yer shirt an' yer trousers both gots pinstripes on em." Guv shrugged. "Somethin ta call ya till we find sommat bettah. An' it won't be hard for the others ta figure out who ya are."
"Pin huh?" Race and the others looked at him then nodded after a long moment.
Riley nodded and looked down at Frankie. "Mind calling me Pin now, Angel?"
Frankie shook her head wide eyed. She was scared, but they seemed nice enough. Being hurt. Running away. So many new people. And now, new names. It was all just a bit overwhelming for her.
"Pin it is then," Riley shrugged and gave an uncertain smile.
"C'mon then...Pin," Tab smiled. "If we get going early 'nuff we can get coffee and bread from the nuns before we start sellin'."
Pin nodded. "Thanks, Tab. Really, thanks for everything."
Tab shrugged his shoulders and dropped down to his haunches in front of Angel and smoothed a lock of dark auburn hair from her eyes. "You remember me, Angel?"
She nodded mutely but smiled. He'd been nice to her, she remembered that much.
"Good. How bout we let yer brothah go clean up a little and I'll take you up to the girls room and we can getcha hair brushed and maybe find ya some warmer clothes?"
She looked to Pin and when he nodded it was okay she turned back to Tab and nodded as well. He held out his arms for her and she wrapped her good arm around his neck. Tab held her close and was careful not to bump her arm.
"Second floor, to the right at the top of the stairs."
"Thanks." Pin watched as Tab maneuvered through the bunk room, talking softly to Frankie as they went, then got up and hurried to the washroom to get ready for his first day as a Brooklyn newsie.

Identity theft is one of the nation's fastest growing crimes and it could take years for victims to recover.
Thieves could be getting private information from some surprising places. For the right price, an identity thief might get a peek at your social security number.
Bill Kyger, chairman of District 4 Rockingham Board of Supervisors, knows identity theft all too well.
He says, "And she started quoting out the names to this person she was talking to, and one of the names she quoted was mine, my name."
A young woman used online public records from different court clerk's offices around the state to get his social security number as well as several other peoples.
So while Kyger does not politically endorse Rockingham Clerk of the Court candidate Myron Rhodes, he came to Rhodes' aid to get the word out about a big problem that could threaten many more people in the Commonwealth.
Kyger says, "The issue of identity theft and invasion of privacy is an issue that should concern us all. It is a bi-partisan issue. Its not a Democratic issue, it's not a Republican issue."
Rhodes says, "They were supposed to go online with court records, land records, deeds, and divorce records are considered land records in some cases."
Anyone who is willing to pay $50 has access to these public records. That is why both Kyger and Rhodes are working together to get personal information redacted, or taken out of the documents the public can pay to see.
One of the ways to get this done is through an amendment for identity and information protection, which Rhodes says Is vital to ensure that the trust of the general public is not compromised.
