Brad Paisley explains 'Accidental Racism' on 'Ellen'
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio | Listen to LL Cool J on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - You'd think the collaboration between a country star like Brad Paisley and a rapper like LL Cool J would have everyone applauding such a genre mash-up. Instead, the song, "Accidental Racist," has people up in arms.
Thankfully, Paisley paid a visit to "Ellen," where he was able to clear the air.
But first, let's rewind for a sec. In the nearly six-minute track, the two create a dialogue about race relations in America. Paisley, 40, describes being a white man in the South as "walking on eggshells" and details an experience at a coffee shop while wearing a Confederate flag on his shirt. "[I'm] just a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of worms/Lookin' like I got a lot to learn," he sings.
LL Cool J, 45, responds, "If you don't judge my do-rag … I won't judge your red flag … If you don't judge my gold chains … I'll forget the iron chains."
"I don't know if any of you noticed but there is some racial tension here and there," Paisley explained to Ellen DeGeneres. "[The song] kind of deals with that and I felt like, when we were writing this song, it wasn't necessarily up to the media. I don't really trust … Hollywood, sorry … or talk radio or anything like that anymore. I think it's music's turn to have the conversation.
"We're sort of asking the question as a proud Southerner and he is a black New Yorker," the crooner continued. "One of my favorite lines in the song, he says, 'I think the relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixing.' Leave it to a rapper to put it so simply and so beautifully."

Report: Are Miley Cyrus and Jared Leto 'hooking up?'
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio | Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars on iHeartRadio
Are Miley Cyrus and Jared Leto an item? Or at least hooking up? "Us Weekly" is reporting that this may be true.
Sources tell "Us Weekly" that the musicians/actors "are hooking up." They say, "She stayed over at his house in L.A. in early February."
If this is true, that would be only a few weeks after they were spotted hanging out at a pre-Grammy party at the end of January.
Another source tells the magazine that the two have "known each other for a while."
It's not clear when they actually met for the first time, but they were spotted chatting back stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival back in September.
A third insider says, "They like to have a good time, they love to talk about art and music -- and they're both comfortable with nudity!"
Could this be true? Are they really together? Perhaps not. Maybe they're just friends. A source tells "Us Magazine" that "Jared doesn't do girlfriends." And Miley even said herself an interview with "W" Magazine that she's not trying to jump into a new relationship anytime soon, having recently broke up with her once-fiance Liam Hemsworth.

Four institutions of the capital began
three training workshops for facilitators and supervisors of digital
rooms of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel), in
order to engage staff of these centers in the fight for the
eradication of violence against women in cyberspace (Internet
The two workshops was conducted by the
Dominican National Commission for UNESCO (CNDU) and the Centre of
Research for Female Action (CIPAF), with the support of the Dominican
Telecommunications Institute (Indotel) and the National Commission
for the Society Information and Knowledge (CNSIC).
The workshops, called "Computer
Training Centers (ITC) in the fight against gender violence",
are part of the Project "Stop Violence: The contribution of ICTs
to end violence against women in the Dominican Republic" ,
sponsored by UNESCO in the country.
The training sessions focused in the
issues of violence against women as an issue of power and inequality,
and the role of CCI computer centers in the development of the
community while working with a gender perspective, among others.
The workshops, which are held in the
multipurpose room of Indotel, will take three days and involved more
than 20 supervisors and facilitators of digital screens in the
National District and Santo Domingo province.

Rural Zimbabwe is characterised by a
lack of proper infrastructure, a limited electricity supply and poor
road networks. Traditionally, communication to these areas has always
been limited.
However, over the past five years
mobile phones have begun providing a means of communication,
connecting Zimbabwe's rural population with urban dwellers.
According to the Postal and
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), a body
mandated to issue licences in the postal and telecommunications
sector, Zimbabwe now has a mobile penetration of 97 percent.
"The increase in mobile
penetration has been triggered by increased investment in
communication infrastructure in both urban and rural areas, meaning
that marginalised people can now afford to use mobile phones",
POTRAZ acting director Alfred Marisa told IPS.
Mobile phones have slowly become the
simplest and cheapest mode of communication in this southern African
According to the Zimbabwe Statistics
Agency's 2011-2012 Poverty Income Consumption and Expenditure Survey,
which was released in June, 7.7 percent of Zimbabwe's economically
active population is unemployed. This is a marked contrast to
previously reported unemployment figures of 85 to 90 percent.
The report also noted that 8.2 million
Zimbabweans in rural areas are poor, while 10.7 percent of the rural
population is unemployed. It is estimated that 72 percent of
Zimbabwe's 12.75 million people live in rural areas.
But despite these high poverty figures
for rural Zimbabwe, mobile phone usage is growing rapidly there.
According to Frost and Sullivan Growth
Partnership Services, an international company that conducts business
research to accelerate growth, "despite the high levels of
unemployment, the number of mobile phone subscribers in Zimbabwe has
increased from less than two million at the end of 2008 to more than
10.9 million in 2013".
According to Josham Gurira, an
economist at the University of Zimbabwe, access to mobile phones will
continue to change rural Zimbabwe.
"Access to information and
communication technologies is now considered a basic human right and
mobile phones have offered the best opportunity to enhance the
digital divide which could have prevented it. The use of mobile
technology has empowered many people and is regarded as a key tool in
helping alleviate global poverty", Gurira told IPS.
"The adaption of mobile technology
has redefined the way people communicate and the growth in mobile
phone use has shaped a new way of engagement and connection. Mobile
phones are providing Zimbabwe with an opportunity to develop",
he said.
Thailands ICT Ministry is
cooperating with Chulalongkorn University Demonstration School
(elementary level) to pilot IT applications that could improve
teaching effectiveness and education quality, under the national
Smart Education plan.
TOT, a State-owned telecom company, and
a team of programmers have developed applications have developed
educational software for the tablets. The Ministry is to pilot the
educational tablets at the Chulalongkorn University Demonstration
It seeks to promote information
technology as a medium of instruction in the school, improving
effectiveness of education delivery, and enabling teachers to track
the students progress and manage records efficiently.
Minister for ICT, Anudith Nakornthap,
said, With the One Tablet PC per Child programme, the
Ministry of ICT has accelerated the development of information
technology for the education sector to meet international standards.
The educational software is compatible
with popular platforms, such as Windows, iOS and Android, in order to
increase educational opportunities and encourage students to make
extensive use of the tablets, the Minister added.
Patterns of educational instruction
are changing, as modern IT applications are developed for the
education sector. This, combined with better connected government
agencies and cloud services, has changed the potential of innovation
in the education sector, remarked the Minister.
In addition to IT infrastructure, he
highlighted the need for developing curriculum standards, developing
teachers IT skills and promoting research and evaluation in order
to create sustainable transformation in the education sector.
The Minister shared, The Thailand
Smart Education programme is currently in pilot stage, and based on
the results, the tablets will be extended to other schools in the
future. The programme looks to transform the learning paradigm with a
learner-centred development model and one-to-one digital classrooms.
The programme aims to instil lifelong learning and allow students to
learn from anywhere, at any time.
UNESCOs Division of Freedom of
Expression and Media Development moves into a second phase in its
open consultation with all stakeholders on the new concept of
Internet Universality, with the release this week of a second
version of a concept paper.
This follows a series of internal and
external consultations by the Communication and Information Sector,
most recently with the sister programmatic sectors at UNESCO. Since
the process began at the WSIS+10 review meeting in February 2013, the
concept has also been canvassed at eight international fora.
The concept of Internet
Universality provides an overarching understanding of key elements
of the Internet. These are the underlying norms that contribute to
shaping the use and development of Internet: (i) free and human
rights based; (ii) openness; (iii) accessible to all; and (iv)
multi-stakeholder driven participation. The four can be summarized by
the mnemonic R O A M (Rights-based, Open, Accessible,
Multi-stakeholder driven).
By bringing together UNESCOs
existing positions on the Internet, the concept of Internet
Universality could help to frame much of UNESCOs
Internet-related work in education, culture, science, social science
and communication-information for the strategic period of 2014-2021.
It could provide a common point of reference and lead to enhanced
synergies between sectors.
In addition, the concept could support
UNESCOs work in facilitating international multi-stakeholder
cooperation in regard to the Internet, and it could also highlight
what the Organization can bring to the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
The Division of Freedom of Expression
and Media Development thanks all those who have commented on earlier
drafts for their valuable suggestions. As part of an evolving
discussion, the second version of Internet Universality: A Means
Towards Building Knowledge Societies and the Post-2015 Development
Agenda is offered for further feedback from all stakeholders.

Betsy McCaughey Opens Her Mouth, Another Health Care Reform Falsehood Spills Out
Today, Fox News' Neil Cavuto hosted Betsy McCaughey to discuss health care reform, and as happens nearly every time [1] McCaughey discusses health care reform, McCaughey made a false claim about what health care means.
Discussing an Institute of Medicine panel that has begun work on advising the government on what essential benefits should be covered by all insurance plans bought through the new exchanges set up by the health care reform law, McCaughey again advanced [2] the false claim that the law pushes "virtually everyone into a one size fits all plan."
By way of example, McCaughey later misleadingly claimed: "Say a family of four can't choose a plan that skips over infertility coverage and is heavy on pediatric care."
McCaughey herself partially debunked her "one size fits all" claim later in the segment, acknowledging to Cavuto that the section of the bill to which she is referring, § 1302, applies only to "plans that are sold in the exchanges, people who buy their own health insurance," not people who receive insurance coverage through employers. Kaiser Permanente reports [3] that "employer-provided health insurance [will] remain dominant" under the health care law. Thus, McCaughey is not talking about "virtually everyone" as she originally claimed.
Furthermore, even for the minority of people who buy individual plans through the exchanges, McCaughey's "one size fits all" claim is simply untrue. The law provides a floor, not a ceiling. There is nothing in the bill that stops insurance companies from offering additional benefits.
And contrary to McCaughey's claim, it's not likely that people who have no need for infertility coverage will be forced to purchase plans that cover infertility. Whether the plans are offered through the exchange or not, nothing in the bill requires coverage for infertility treatment.
The section of the law [4] McCaughey cites lists several items that all plans offered through the exchanges must cover:
(A) Ambulatory patient services.
(B) Emergency services.
(C) Hospitalization.
(D) Maternity and newborn care.
(E) Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment.
(F) Prescription drugs.
(G) Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices.
(H) Laboratory services.
(I) Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management.
(J) Pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
Beyond those 10 items listed in the bill, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is given the power to "define the essential health benefits."
But not even the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) -- an organization of fertility doctors [5] -- thinks that the Secretary of Health and Human Services will require infertility coverage. According to an August 2010 ABCNews.com report, Sean Tipton, a spokesman for ASRM said [6] that, despite the health care reform law: "I am not terribly optimistic that this country is suddenly going to treat infertility appropriately. ... We have a crumby history."

BMW F30 3 Series Sedan Frequently Asked Questions - Read Me
Bimmerfest.com answer commonly asked questions about the 2012/2013 BMW F30 3 Series Sedan. If you have additional questions post them below and we will do our best to answer them. More frequently asked questions to come!
What does F30 stand for?
It is BMW's internal chassis development code. The sixth generation 3 series sedan is the F30, the touring will be the F31, the coupe will be the F32 and the convertible will be the F33.
What are the 3 Series "Lines" (Sport, Modern and Luxury)?
BMW completely changed around the packages and options and the way you buy the car for the F30. You select a line that reflect you and the car 'charter' you want from your 3 series. Each line has line specific color choices and included equipment. For example the Sport Line comes with sport suspension. See our Lines explained in photos thread for more details.
BMWUSA.com Configurator seems to be missing options?
BMW has still not resolved issues with the configurator. It gives you a good idea of how you can Line, Package and Option your F30 but does have some flaws. For example the 328i Sport Line defaulty (based on pricing) adds the M Adaptive suspension dampeners but doesn't list the option anywhere. For the complete options reference the complete BMW F30 ordering guide
Is there an Naturally Aspirated (non turbo) engine option?
No. The two main engine options in the US are the N20 inline 4 cylinder twinpower turbo engine making 245 horsepower for the 328i and the N55 inline 6 cylinder twinpower turbo engine making 300 horsepower for the 335i.
Will my car have a front license plate mount from the factory?
Car produced from November 2011 through mid-January 2012 had a factory installed front plate mount. Starting mid-January BMW eliminated the rather large front plate mount and started producing a more typical front plate holder. The new front plate holder will be shipped with the car to be installed by your dealership. If you don't want it installed make sure you tell your dealer sale person before your car gets to the dealer. More info and pictures of the different plate frames here
What are the brakes on the F30?
The 328i has single piston floating calipers on all four wheels. 335i gets upgraded to 4 piston fixed caliper up front and single piston floating caliper in the rear. For complete brakes specs see the F30 Complete Specifications thread
Is the F30 sedan chassis stiffer then the E90 sedan chassis?
Yes, the F30 sedan is 30% stiffer then the E90
Is the US getting F30 diesel models?
There will not appear to be a diesel 2013 model at this time but we know BMW is considering adding them. No official word yet, I don't think BMW has decided which way they're going to go. The E90 diesel models sold reasonably well but not great and the Active Hybrid 3 offers great gas mileage for those that looked to diesel for the MPG. What is telling is that there is no F10 5 series diesel yet either, and the F10 has been out for over a model year now. It's possible BMW is simply working on a new diesel engine to offer in both the F30 and F10, for now we will have to wait and see.
Is the wagon/touring coming to the US?
Yes, the touring will arrive in US dealerships in the spring of 2013. Get more information on the 2013 BMW F31 Touring from the press release. Stay tuned for US specifications and pricing.
When can I get an F30 Active Hybrid 3?
Active Hybrid 3 series will start arriving in the US in September of 2012 as 2013 model years.
Can I order a BMW Individual F30 (custom exterior/interior colors)?
BMW has not released the BMW Individual catalog yet. There are more colors becoming available on the F30 starting with March 2012 production. Sometime after that seems reasonable.
How are the run flat tires on the F30?
The F30 uses the third generation run flat tires, which are a massive improvement over previous run flats. The weight of the wheel and tires is now comparable to standard tires and the road noise and 'banging' over bumps is eliminated. If you didn't know they were run flats you probably could not tell.
Will DCT (Double Clutch Transmission) be offered as an option?
Not in the near term (2012-2014). BMW says the 8 speed automatic sports transmission offers the same performance. And for now BMW wants to keep DCT for M cars only (the F80/F81/F82/F83 M3 will have DCT). I wouldn't be surprised if BMW offered it on a "IS" or "performance" package some time in the future but that is years off.
Will we see new engines in the near future, like what happened with the E90?
No. The N20 4 cylinder is a brand new motor and the N55 6 cylinder started going into cars in 2009. They're both new engines, unlike the motors in the 325/330 E90 sedans. Will we see a power bump, perhaps through BMW M Performance Parts? I would say it is likely, but power increases are something BMW tends to hold back and release to keep the model fresh. I wouldn't expect power increases from BMW for at least a year. Aftermarket tuners will have power for you much sooner!
Will we see a power bump in the 6 cylinder N55 powered 335i?
No. The N55 will retain the current 300 horsepower, 300 foot pounds of torque at least until the 2014 model year. BMW may offer a power kit sooner.
What is the default Driver Experience mode (Eco-pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport+)?
The F30 defaults to Comfort driving mode each time the car is restarted. Annoyingly it does not remember your driving mode and there is no way to set a default.
Can I set my default Driving Experience Mode - i.e. I always want to be in Sport Mode?
No, the car defaults to Comfort Mode each time the car is restarted. There is no way to change the default mode.
What BMW M Performance Parts are going to be available for the F30?
Intitially BMW M Performance Parts for the F30 will be limited. BMW is launching with -
The initial parts will go on sale mid-March 2012. More parts will be rolled out with 2013 model year mid-summer 2012.
BMW xDrive All Wheel Drive F30 Frequently Asked Questions
When will all wheel drive / xDrive be available on the F30?
Both 335i and 328i will be available in all wheel drive xDrive starting July 2012. Manual transmission will likely be available on the 328i xDrive, don't count on it for the 335i xDrive.
Can I get an xDrive in manual transmission
Manual transmission is a likely option on the 328i. 335i will be 8 speed automatic only.
Will sport suspension be offered on xDrive 328i/335i?
Yes. You will be able to get sport suspension but it will not lower the ride height.
Will M Adaptive Sport Suspension will variable dampers be available on xDrive 328i/335i?
Yes. You will be able to add the M Adaptive dampers.
M Sport Package Frequently Asked Questions
When can I get an M-Sport Package F30?
2013 F30 3 series sedans will start coming off the production line with the M sport package in July 2012 for August 2012 delivery. If you want one get your order in soon to get the first production spots.
What comes on the M Sport Package?
The M Sports Package is a visual, aerodynamic and interior upgrade package that includes -
Will the M Sport increase the power for the 328i or 335i?
No. The M Sport is basically an aerodynamics and aesthetics package only. It does include increase cooling capabilities, the same as the Sport Line.
What are the M Sport brakes?
The M Sport Brakes will be a stand alone option for the M Sport or Sport Line. The 335i gets upgraded 4 piston fixed caliper and 14.6" rotors in the front and two piston fixed calipers over 13.6" rotors in the rear. The 328i M Sport brakes are smaller then the 335i. The front rotors are 13.4", rears are 13.6", despite the smaller rotors the 328i gets the fixed 4 piston front and 2 piston fixed rear calipers. The brakes come painted blue, no choice on the color.
No fog lights on the M Sport for the US, why?
The US has a greater range of climates then Europe and US drivers take their car to the track more then their European counterparts. To make sure the F30 M Sport can perform in all US conditions the fog lights were removed to increase cooling air to the radiators, intercooler and oil cooler.
Does the M Sport come standard with M Adaptive suspension?
No, it will be an option. Pricing is $900.00 for the option.
Does the M Sport come standard with M Sport Brakes ?
No, it will be an option. Pricing is TBD.
More frequently asked questions to come!

National Disability Determination Services (NDDS) File, Social Security Administration, Office of Disability Determinations
Effective Date: January 11, 2006
System name:
National Disability Determination Services (NDDS) File, Social Security Administration, Office of Disability Determinations.
Security classification:
System Location:
Each State Disability Determination Services (DDS) office and the Federal Disability Determination Service (FDDS) (contact the system manager at the address below or access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_b.htm for the name and address of each State DDS and the FDDS).
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Claimants for Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and Black Lung (BL) benefits, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments alleging a disability for which the DDS processes claims.
Categories of records in the system:
Name and Social Security number (SSN) of wage earner, claimant's name and address, date of birth, diagnosis, beginning and ending dates of disability, basis for determination, work history information, educational level, reexamination date (if applicable), date of application, names and titles of persons making or reviewing the determination and certain administrative data. Also included could be data relative to the location of the file and the status of the claim, copies of medical reports, and data relating to the evaluation and measurement of the effectiveness of claims policies.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
5 U.S.C. 301, 30 U.S.C. 923(b), and sections 221 and 1633 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 421 and 1383b).
The records are used primarily for processing Social Security Title II disability (DI), Title XVI SSI disability, and BL claims, for detection and correction of deficiencies and problems involved in this processing, and for case control purposes.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be for routine uses as indicated below:
1. To State vocational rehabilitation agencies or the appropriate State agency (or agencies providing services to disabled children) for the consideration of rehabilitation services per sections 222 and 1615 of the Social Security Act.
2. To State audit agencies utilizing this information for verifying proper expenditure of Federal funds by the State in support of the DDS.
3. To the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for information requested for purposes of determining eligibility for or amount of veterans benefits, or verifying other information with respect thereto in accordance with 38 U.S.C. 5106.
4. To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record.
5. To a party named in an order, process, or interrogatory, in accordance with section 459 of the Social Security Act if a designee of the Agency is served with any such order, process, or interrogatory with respect to an individual's child support or alimony payment
6. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court or other tribunal, or another party before such tribunal when:
(a) The Social Security Administration (SSA), or any component thereof; or
(b) Any SSA employee in his/her official capacity; or
(c) Any SSA employee in his/her individual capacity where DOJ (or SSA where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof where SSA determines that the litigation is likely to affect the operations of SSA or any of its components, is a party to the litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and SSA determines that the use of such records by DOJ, a court or other tribunal or another party before such tribunal, is relevant and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that in each case, SSA determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
7. To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the efficient administration of its programs. We will disclose information under this routine use only in situations in which SSA may enter into a contractual or similar agreement with a third party to assist in accomplishing an agency function relating to this system of records.
8. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act of 1984, information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
9. To student volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other workers who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for the Social Security Administration (SSA), as authorized by law, and they need access to personally identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned Agency functions.
10. To the Secretary of Health and Human Services or to any State, the Commissioner shall disclose any record or information requested in writing by the Secretary for the purpose of administering any program administered by the Secretary, if records or information of such type were so disclosed under applicable rules, regulations and procedures in effect before the date of enactment of the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994.
11. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in the system:
Records are maintained in paper form, on magnetic tape or disc packs. The method of storage may vary from State to State and within the FDDS.
The records are filed by a combination of name and SSN depending on the DDS's preference.
Automated records are maintained in accordance with the Systems Security Handbook. The records are accessible only to DDS personnel and subject to the restrictions on disclosures under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6), 21 U.S.C. 1175, and 42 U.S.C. 1306. Access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_g.htm for additional information relating to SSA data security measures.
Retention and disposal:
May vary from State to State and within the FDDS according to the preference, but generally each office destroys its files over a period varying from 6 months to 36 months unless held in an inactive storage under security measures for a longer period.
System manager(s) and address(es):
Social Security Administration
Associate Commissioner
Office of Disability Determinations
Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by providing his/her name and SSN to the DDS Administrator, Disability Determination Services, c/o State in which he or she resides and/or information is likely to be maintained. Contact the system manager at the address below or access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_b.htm. (Furnishing the SSN is voluntary, but it will make searching for an individual's record easier and avoid delay.)
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with Social Security Administration (SSA) Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
An individual who requests access to his or her medical record must also name a representative in writing. The representative may be a physician, other health professional, or other responsible individual who would be willing to explain the contents of the medical record(s) before giving the entire medical record(s) to the individual. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
A parent or guardian who requests notification of, or access to, a minor's medical record shall, at the time he/she makes the request, designate a physician or other health professional (other than a family member) who will be willing to explain the contents of the medical record(s) before giving the entire medical record(s) to the parent or guardian. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c) and 401.55).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
The information to support factors of entitlement and/or continuing eligibility originates from claimants or those acting on their behalf, physicians, hospitals, and other appropriate sources. Also, information is received from control data that monitors the location and status of the claim.
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:

Remarks to the press by Ambassador Wittig after UN Security Council meeting on UNAMID
(as delivered)
Q.: On Yemen, how is it looking?
W.: Let me once again emphasize that it was very important that the Council dealt with the situation in Yemen. That in itself sent out a strong signal. The people of Yemen and the neighbours should know that there is concern in the Council about the developments and that the Council expects progress in the political process. That is the gist of what was discussed yesterday.
Q.: Will there be a press statement?
W.: This is a procedural matter much more than anything else. This is not a substantial thing, it is a procedural thing, we won't have this product.
Q.: [inaudible]
W.: It is a procedural thing about procedures in the Council. In substance there is agreement that the situation merits our attention.

Can someone pls. answer me on question Can profesors dock house points to prefects if they use theyre position on bad way or would they just take theirs badge away???
Forums: Index > The Wizengamot > Prefekts
i think but im not absolutly sure but i t hink they can still take points off prefects but if they are really bad they would take their badge away but with a warning first
- Yes, professors can dock house points from prefects, they can dock them from any student. If a prefect were extremely misbehaved it can be presumed that their badge would be taken away, however, prefects are chosen because they are "model" students so it would probably never need to come to this.

text: Yes, seems to be very taboo for human kind to eat the placenta but I guess I am just another one of those crazy pregnant woman that are considering it, but I will not be scrambling it will eggs or puttine it in a smoothie lol I am thinking of having it dehydrated and put into pill form! Reason being I had pretty severe post partum depression after both of my daughters were born and I have read the studies that show that the placenta helps reduce the post partum depression along with it helps your overall health after giving birth! My first reaction when I heard of people doing this was WTF how gross than I did my studies and now im like "hey, sounds like something I will be trying" I now see why almost every animal consumes its own placenta after birth and they are right back on their feet catering to their new babies! Im just trying to see if there will be anyone else doing this along with me??

way to take stuff personally, offended by gesus too>?
way to take stuff personally, offended by gesus too>?
"why take stuff personally?"
All Niggərs smell.
If you are dark-skinned, and the above statement offends you - why take stuff personally??
If you are not dark-skinned then this shouldn't offend you, after all, it has nothing to do with you.
I do not support the highly racist comment above, it was only an example to make a point. I think I've made my point.
And nah, Gesus is cool. 666 shit fly as hell

Almost everyone on this thread is fucking stupid. If a guy wants to write Jesus Saves, why would you have a problem with it? It might mean something to some people and nothing to others. So if it means nothing to you, why are you complaining about it? Its the same thing as seeing a McDonalds billboard but you dont like McDonalds. Its just propaganda. Shut the fuck up about it.
And to whoever is saying there is no god, there is no jesus, yadda yadda, I gotta say something about that. Im not gonna take a stance, but how can you condemn someone for believing in Jesus, when dont you believe OFF OF THE SAME LACK OF EVIDENCE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD ALREADY POSSESSES. No one can prove beyond doubt one way or the other, so arguing about it is a fucking waste of time and also it just plain pisses me off. You can believe in Jesus and not condemn everyone else who doesnt and you can not believe in Jesus and not call everyone else who does "brainwashed". But if you people wanna argue about it then your both fucking retarded. Believe what you believe, but shut the fuck up about it.
Just my two cents.
Drop beats...and bombs too. Both are good.
V-Unit fo LIFE NUGGAS!
^- I think this thread is pretty intresting actually, Tagging jesus doesn't sound bad might
bring a new perspective to people instead of thinking were all rock band pierce earred taggers who hate churches cus we cant tag them.
I for one believe Jesus exist but were talking about the writer not the religion.. Writer sounds dope.

that was amazing
i cant even remember sayi ng that
did i even say that?
(used to be my account)
Anyway, to Jesus Saves. -
I don't want to see that anymore than I want to see McDonalds billboards. Technically what he's doing is graffiti, it's the same thing as writing "Suzy loves Jenny" (lesbians rule) or "Chris is a fag"...I don't care about that and it gives the rest of us a bad name. Not that I really care. Jesus Saves isn't a writer. Jesus Saves is a moron.
and your a in coherent fuckhead, stop bitchin, the guy wants to write Jesus, fine by me, if you have a problem with religion, why dont u go write fucking "fuck god" or something like that?
destroy Dubai
Well because I'm not in a hurry to ultimately waste my life. Nothing in my post had anything to do with religion, just the uselessness of writing 'Jesus Saves'. Did you really just call me incoherent, and then type to me that way?
all im saying is, the guy has faith, let him share his message
destroy Dubai
well rots saying that writing jesus saves is useless is like saying anything that someone writes is useless.
jesus saves is a writer, he does other shit besides handstyles, and just like any other writer hes jsut trying to get ups.
the reason he gets so much attention is because he writes a religious message and because hes been around for so long. but he's up as fuck in the NY area so i see no way how he's not a writer
every Christian graff writter should know that graffiti is not a sin if you do not see it as wrong, i personally dont because my conscience tells me its wrong to ruin a person's home, place of worship, or place of work, but it also tells me "who am i hurting by being out here doing my best to paint my thoughts in color on a plain and dull white wall when after, it can simply be painted over...if your conscience does not see graffiti as something bad, its not a sin to write!
only those who die have the right to be reborn
by the way i do strongly believe that Jesus does save.
only those who die have the right to be reborn
Jesus Saves is so fucking lame and gimmicy. fuck this dude. fuck anybody telling me that i'm buring in hell for all eternity for not believing in their god and that i need to be saved for my "wicked ways".
hes got all of you doing what he wants you to do, talk about him, and his name "Jesus Saves" if you dont like it go over it
im not gonna be a punk and argue. it will be against my idea of respect of free speech if i told you all that you shouldn't say "God is fake and makes us feel guilt," of course it makes me laugh because there are so many things wrong with that statement...so i will leave it at that, say what you want to say......
You shouldn't put down believing in God when most of you, who respond so negatively to it, dont even know what Christianity is all about..
only those who die have the right to be reborn
how is it pointless to be writing a name? jesus saves= the dudes writing name, same as gesus writing gesu, or anyone else writing anything its wat he chooses to write, so jump off his nuts.
edit: most of you dont believe in God because someone you respect told you there wasnt a God? am i right? you all just fall into the trend of upside down crosses, and degrading jesus drawings, so in an escense you all are just giving in, remember its not cool to be christian or catholic? christians and catholics seem like rule breakers now

Furniture Industry Honors FSS Commissioner Frank Pugliese
May 22, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin
(202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- Frank P. Pugliese, Jr, Commissioner of the Federal Supply Service, U.S. General Services Administration, received the Industry Recognition Award from more than seventy contract furniture and furnishings companies. The award cites the public/private partnership initiatives and overall quality improvements and innovations instituted by GSA under Pugliese's leadership.
The presentation was made during GSA's National Furniture Center's Quality Partnership Council meeting which was held in conjunction with the GSA National Products and Services Expo in San Diego, CA, earlier this month.
In accepting the award, Pugliese praised the furniture industry, GSA's Mid-Atlantic Region, and GSA's National Furniture Center "for their vision and proactive business practices that drive where we as an organization are going".
GSA's National Furniture Center partners with America's furniture industry to provide high quality furniture, furnishings and floor covering products at deeply discounted prices for use by civilian and military government activities in the United States and around the world.

its 100 % true that tests for HIV, Hep B and C and cat scans mean its safer to fight. Its only a matter of time before something terrible happens. In Sweden in december greg Knapp had to have blood tests and was given a medical that meant the looked at his heart beat after excerise. Basically a much more thorough medical than ive ever had in the UK which sometimes is just 2 mins filling in a form and having your blood pressure taken. In poland they insist in HIV, Hep tests. In canada it was HIV, Hep tests, and Cat Scan and another brain test which im not sure of the name for and a thorough medical. UK MMA is the wild west of MMA. We have great fighters and teams but terrible organistation other than some stella promotions.
The diversity in MMA in the UK is crazy, some shows are awful, and the fighters they have on there are in no fit state to be fighting, no skills and unfit and possibly HIV, Hep B or Hep C positive but they have a heart beat.
The big promotions in the UK should take the lead and make proving you dont have a blood condition a must. I think if a governing body is far away then it would be a very wise idea for the biggest promotions in the UK to get together and have some sort of trade standard when it comes to the medicals and blood tests.
Someone will get hurt in the end and everyone will be pointing the finger of blame at UK MMA.

text: The Today show is a mess. They need to rid themselves of Matt Lauer and start over. Katie Couric called the show horrible and said that it was soft and that they are doing things now they never did when she was on the show. In another move showing how they have no idea what they are doing, producers demoted Sunday co-host Jenna Wolfe to news reader. She was devastated and viewers agree as NBC has been bombarded with complaints since Erica Hill took over the co-host duties yesterday. I do like Lester Holt and think they should kick Matt to the curb and bring in Lester and start from there. Your other option is just to go old school and bring Regis out of retirement and place him next to Kathie Lee Gifford and show that history does repeat itself.

The Saints came into being in 1967 and showed their stuff right away by having the most wins for an expansion team in their first season. Yet victory was scarce those first years, as the team went through its inevitable growing pains. Things started to turn around as the Saints neared their 20th anniversary. In 1986, RB Bueben Mayes was named Rookie of the Year and went to the Pro Bowl along with LB Rickey Jackson and K Morten Anderson. In 1987, the Saints had nine consecutive wins, their first ever winning season, and they went to the playoffs. In 1988, their second consecutive winning season, they had their biggest win in history.
There have been many high points since then, including their first game in the Superdrome after Katrina, a 23-3 victory on Monday Night Football. The penultimate moment is undoubtedly their Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts on February 7, 2010.
What will this season hold? Come find out.
Fans, support the New Orleans Saints whenever you can, especially on their home turf. New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts will welcome you. There is no better city to visit, and no better team to cheer. Have you seen the Saints pregame chants? They make you want to dance as much as win.
Yes, even football is infused with music in New Orleans.
Check out the New Orleans Saints Schedule. Then look through our member New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts. Come to New Orleans to support your team this season, as often as you can.

'"Basically, I said they didn't work. They didn't care about working," Ruff said. "We cheated our fans. We cheated everybody." Then his players responded in the final 40 minutes, as they have all season. Pominville scored 1 minute, 21 seconds into the second period, the first step toward turning a tightly contested game into a four-game sweep of the defending Stanley Cup champion and another dominant win this season.'

text: I don't usually get too caught up in these things, but my boss is out today and I have some time to kill... Here's my realistic offseason plan that may not blow the doors down and net us a ring in 2014, but would certainly be a great step in the right direction. Pre-Free Agency: 1) Cut RT Doug Free (designate June 1) - Welp, this is easy. Free up (get it?) 7M in cap space this year. We'll be looking for younger/cheaper alternatives to either compete with Parnell for the RT job, or with Weems for the "swing" tackle spot on game day. I'll say, I have hope for Parnell. The fact that he's only played OT for a couple full seasons and he filled in admirably for Tyron at LT and competed neck-and-neck with Free at RT those last few games is impressive for such an inexperienced player. I think he has the physical tools and work ethic (I hear he's at VR every day working out... one of the hardest workers on the team) to be at least a solid RT for us. 2) Cut OG Nate Livings (designate June 1) - Livings wasn't good, and doesn't fit our scheme. The Callahan-influenced rushing attack we're about to see is one that relies heavily on the zone blocking scheme. This requires quicker, more athletic OL that can get into position to wall off defenders, get to the perimeter, and to the 2nd level. Livings is more of a drive-blocker that excels in a booth. 3) Cut LB Dan Connor - Also easy. He's overpaid and underperforms. He simply doesn't have the speed Monte wants in his LB's. I think we're fine letting the bigger/faster/younger/cheaper candidates (Albright and Wilber) duke it out for the starting SOLB spot. 4) Extend QB Tony Romo- 5 years, 62.5M - We simply have a better chance to go all the way by supporting Romo with more help, rather than find his replacement and start from near scratch IMO. He hasn't had a good OL in a few seasons. When he has (2007, 2009), he's been very good. We also need to spread his cap impact over more years. No brainer. And I think the 14.5M/year average is about right. The very top guys are getting around 20M/year... with Flacco, Ryan and others outperforming him this year (in wins mostly), I don't think he's got more leverage than this number suggests. 5) Restructure Carr, Miles, Ware, Witten - Free up a little room. But just a little. Let's not push too much money back so as to hinder our ability to do things in the future. The NFL Salary Cap is expected to jump in 2014, however, so I'm not at all opposed to doing this. 6) Franchise DE Anthony Spencer - I have no interest in signing a 29-year old to a 12M/year contract. I also have no interest in losing a guy as good as Spencer for nothing. So franchise him and try to work a reasonable extension (5 years, 40M), but if that can't happen (and I don't expect it to), then at least we can leverage a bit from a team that wants him bad enough. There are a bunch of team transitioning to a 3-4 and Spencer would be a MAJOR get for them. I don't think a team like New Orleans would be phased by parting ways with a pick or 2 for the chance at signing him. Free Agency: 1) OG/C Ryan Lilja- 4 years, 12.5M - Here's a guy with extensive starting experience at both OG and C for the Colts and Chiefs. He's missed just 3 games in the last 5 years with 111 career starts. He's not big (6'2, 290) or young (31) but his price tag isn't huge and he offers lots of versatility, comfort in a ZBS, and veteran leadership. Where I'd play him would be dependent on the draft and what seems to fit right early on in camp. 2) DE Michael Johnson- 6 years, 54M - This is a stud. This is also very close to (or equal to) Spencer money. But the guy is 3 years younger, has played in a 4-3 at DE at a very high level, and has incredible length at the position (6'7") that is crucial for stringing out the read option we'll see so often in our division. I would simply rather give Johnson the money over Spencer. Draft: - On draft day, we trade Spencer to New Orleans for their 3rd and 4th round picks (#75 and #106 overall). 1(18)- Shariff Floyd DT Florida 2(37)- TRADE (#47 + #106)- Johnathan Cyrien S FIU 3(75)- Justin Pugh OT/OG Syracuse 3(80)- Tank Carradine DE Florida State 4(111)- Mike Gillislee RB Florida 5, 6- BPA Thoughts?

NEW: The Supreme Court rules in favor of Charleston adoptive family
The justices ruled 5-4 Tuesday in a case about a federal law intended to keep Indian children from being taken from their homes and typically placed with non-Indian adoptive or foster parents.
South Carolina courts said the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act favored the biological father of the girl. The South Carolina couple who raised her for the first 27 months of her life appealed that decision.
State courts have been at odds on the law's application but justices said a ruling giving the father a "trump card at the eleventh hour" to get the girl might not be in the child's best interest.

Mean Betty Didn't Know Pepper Spray Is a Shopping Must-Have
The Californian woman who pepper sprayed her Black Friday competition is suing Walmart!
– Mean Betty
Kittens, I don't know if you remember the national wrestling match that was Black Friday. One crazy event stood out heads and shoulders above the rest. A woman at a Porter Ranch, California Walmart pepper sprayed her fellow customers when they got too close to the Xboxes she coveted. Whilst everyone was screaming and rubbing their eyes, this woman supposedly went to the cash register with her goodies, paid and left. In the store, according to the Huffington Post, 20 customers were dealing with sore throats and teary eyes.
In case you forgot about the madness, here's the video:
The story hit every newspaper from London to Sydney, Australia and beyond. After about 24 hours, Elizabeth Macias turned herself into police. According to the LA Times, police decided not to charge her with a felony, but at one point were debating whether or not to charge her with a misdemeanor. During the investigation, it came to light that she might have used the pepper spray to "protect herself: against voracious shoppers.
"I'm not saying it was right. It could have been a situation that she was in fear for her safety, that she would be crushed," said LAPD Det. Mike Fesperman told the LA Times. "It (this case) comes down to whether it was a matter of self-preservation or she was trying to gain access to the games."
Kittens, before you whip out her hankies and sob with sympathy for Ms. Macias, ask yourself this, who in her right mind thinks pepper spray is the perfect shopping accessory? If you're knowingly going into a dangerous shopping expedition…first of all, why would a sane person throw themselves into a sitch where you know ahead of time that you're going to get physical? And secondly, is the bargain you're getting worth the beat down you're going to get?
Ms. Macias didn't only fend off shoppers with pepper spray; she's now thinking of suing Walmart! That's right kittens! In a wild turn of events, Ms. Macias, like many self-entitled people, is now blaming someone else for her bad behavior. After all, rushing through her turkey dinner, running to Walmart, getting in line at the store, waiting for it to open, and allegedly telling the security guard ahead of time that she's got pepper spray and isn't afraid to use it, is all Walmart's fault! Yes, Walmart came to her house and demanded that she shop there. Oh and fairies are real.
Read Mean Betty: Kourtney Kardashian and Farrah Abraham Go to War!… Or Something
What's that kittens? Oh, that tiny bit about how Macias mentioned to a security guard before the store opened that she was armed and prepped to use the spray against her fellow customers? Christna Acuna, one of the witnesses who saw her tell the security guard that she was ready to rock the sale, remembers her showing off her shiny tool. "I remember her specifically showing the security guy that she had pepper spray attached to her purse strap," said Acuna.
Of course Macias' lawyer claimed that Macias only used the pepper spray because her kids were being attacked. "My client's daughter was being beaten and kicked and punched by another female shopper…she's crying out "help me, mommy help me!"
There are so many things wrong with this whole story, Mean Betty's mind boggles. Now please excuse, Meanie needs to go see if Kate Spade makes a cute pepper spray holster…

By Scott North and Rikki King
It has been awhile since we took a look at traffic-enforcement cameras in Snohomish County.
The devices still are cranking out tickets and controversy, but not much else has changed.
Media in Seattle this week were all agog over the discovery that the tickets can add up to serious cash for municipal budgets. Who knew?
Meanwhile, the reader who posts comments to HeraldNet as "Jacques Klahaya" recently raised questions about the status of Lynnwood's camera contract.
When last we dove into that particular swamp, Lynnwood officials were fussing over how long they wanted to commit to the program. They claimed to be taking it slow, approving an extension that only took the city into November 2012. A victory, they said, would be getting a clause into the contract that would allow them to dump the cameras whenever they wished.
Jacques wondered whether the city has been operating without a camera contract.
Nope. Turns out that Lynnwood late last year extended the camera contract until November 2016.
That's something we just tumbled to this week when we filed a public records request.
We'll be doing more reporting in the coming days for details on how the decision was made. It looks like the new contract the city negotiated does include a bail-out clause. For now, though, smile when you drive through Lynnwood. The benevolent camera overlords still are watching – apparently all legal like.
Mukilteo's Tim Eyman, meanwhile, continues to tee off on officials at the city of Monroe over that community's camera program. This week, Eyman caused spam filters around the state to tremble with back-to-back-to-back email blitzes designed to draw attention to his Initiative 517.
He recently submitted signatures to bring a statewide vote on the measure, which says in part: "Government officials, both elected and unelected, must facilitate and cannot obstruct the processing of any initiative petition and must facilitate and cannot obstruct the public vote of any initiative."
Eyman wrote Monroe's mayor and others that the provision was a direct response to the city's 2011 decision to go to court to block a binding vote on the camera program there.
"Isn't it insulting that such a new law is needed?" he wrote. "Shouldn't this be done without a new state law requiring it? Because of Monroe's mayor and city council and their arrogance, it is clearly necessary. To this day, you defend your indefensible anti-voter-participation actions."
Eyman also sent out an email from Monroe, in which the city acknowledges it has spent nearly $84,000 on lawyers defending its decision to resist the Eyman-supported camera initiative. That includes the cost of representing the city as it appeals a Snohomish County judge's ruling that the lawsuit against the initiative was strategic litigation against public participation.
Irony: As a result of the camera controversy, Monroe voters have now twice had the opportunity make clear that they want the cameras gone. Double irony: Monroe's elected officials say they've received the messages, loud and clear, and the cameras will be gone at the end of the year.
In Lynnwood? Who knows. Communication from City Hall is sporadic at best.

"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I really get tired of hearing some say "A more tactical manager would have squeezed a few more wins out of this season." And if the Reds had won 101, those same people would have still complained because he should have gotten 105.
Every manager gets criticized. In my lifetime there hasn't been a Red's manager I haven't come out of the chair and yelled out.... and that includes Captain Hook.
So, IMO, it's not about being able to second-guess or criticize Baker... it's simply the fact, with some, he doesn't manage the team from the bench like they do their fantasy league. And that's the truth.

26 Years and Counting...
The pre-season prediction thread had 2 people who predicted that the Reds would win 97 games or more. The average was in the 88 to 89 range. The "knowledge" of the posters here who say the Reds should have gotten more out of the season are the same "knowledgeable" posters who said the Reds didn't have the talent to win as many as they did.
IMO, you can't have it both ways. I predicted 92 wins. The team won 97 and surpassed my expectations. Were there things I disagreed with? Sure there were. Fact is they did better than they should have with the obvious roster flaws that included no real lead-off guys, too may RH bats who struggled against RHP, their top 15 prospect falling flat on his face and the best player on the team out for a huge chunk of the season. I don't see any grounds for taking the manager's job away. In fact, even though there were some obvious warts, he worked a minor miracle IMO. If you weren't one of those people who predicted 97 wins or more (Sir Charles, Roy Tucker) what grounds do you have to complain about bringing back the Manager?
One fairly vocal poster in this thread, whose stance is that Dusty cost the team wins, only predicted 85 wins. I don't get it.

"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
May the Lord bless
However, Dusty values having his regulars coming to the ballpark and knowing what position in the batting order they will have. He values that stablity.
So when his #2 hitter Cozart gets hurt, the sub gets put in that slot to avoid lineup shuffling. Is it optimal statistically? No. Did it hurt the team in the big picture ? I don't think so.. we still made the playoffs.
This is similiar to the Stubbs at the top of the order debate. Dusty wanted to give Stubbs every possible chance to succeed, because if Stubbs did succeed, the team would be stronger.. Again, not optimal, but it's not as if it cost us the division either. Once the playoffs started, Stubbs was in the optimal spot (#8).
So I guess, in summary, I think Dusty has a longer term view when he plans the lineups. He's less concerned that Valdez batting #2 means that Valdez might get an extra at bat as opposed to someone like Frasier.. He figures the long term benefits is worth the slightly suboptimal lineup.. It's hard to say whether Dusty is right or not (since the answer can not be quantified), but it's not like Dusty is doing it out of sheer insanity
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..

Plus you can look at the health of players throughout the year as to why Phillips was not leading off. I think the Opening Day lineup had Stubbs 7th. That was the plan with Rolen healthy (why they counted on this I don't know). Then Ludwick had to immerge over the course of 4-6 weeks in order to be trusted with cleanup, and then Votto had to get healthy. By the time that all fell in place it was late September. In the meantime Dusty wanted Phillips to bat cleanup, which sort of forced him to bat Stubbs higher. Half way through the year he was ready for anyone but Stubbs and wanted a replacement via trade. That tells you how much he values Stubbs defense, because he wasn't blind to his problems at the plate. I thought Heisey could have gotten more play, and I thought Frazier could have hit 2nd, but it's not like the outcomes from those players were bad where they ended up. It's just Stubbs was never able to carry the load. Platoon the poor guy before he goes bonkers.
Had everyone been healthy from day 1, Phillips would've lead off the entire season.
The #2 slot would've probably been a rotation of Stubbs/Cozart, due to lack of better options.
Another thing on Frazier.. It's great the Reds had enough faith in him to keep him over Franscisco, but I think it's fair to think he far exceeded everyone's expectations.
I'm not being pessemistic.. I just hope Frazier can give us some offense next year, because we're really going to need it.. If Frazier goes through a sophmore slump, the offense is going to struggle next year.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
I can't remember what I predicted for a win total, but no way did I pick anywhere near 97. The pitching was far better than I thought it would be.
The poster in question, who I believe predicted only 85 wins, wanted a new manager because of the playoff failure.
sorry we're boring

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body in order to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy is usually injected or infused into a vein, but some forms can be given by mouth. Your medical oncologist will tell you how many cycles or courses of chemotherapy are best for you. In most cases, chemotherapy is given after surgery for 6 cycles, although recent data suggests that as few as 3 cycles of chemotherapy may be as good as 6 cycles, which means fewer side effects. In some cases, chemotherapy may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor.
The side effects and amount of time required in your doctor's office depend on the type of chemotherapy you receive, as well as how many cycles you receive and how often. The most common chemotherapy-associated side effects are:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Hair loss
- Decreased blood counts
Chemotherapeutic Agents
First-line agents, used separately or in combination, include:
- Paclitaxel
- Cisplatin
- Carboplatin
Other agents (used primarily if no response to or recurrence after the first-line agents, or for the rarer germ cell tumors) include:
- Etoposide
- Ifosfamide
- Cyclophosphamide
- Doxorubicin
- Topotecan
- Docetaxel
Paclitaxel combined with cisplatin or carboplatin is a favored regimen for treating epithelial cell ovarian cancer. It produces complete disease regression in about a quarter of patients with Stage III disease.
Possible side effects include:
- Life-threatening allergic reactions
- Heart damage
- Bone marrow damage
- Nerve damage
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Unusual infections
Cisplatin is used alone for certain ovarian cancers and in combination with either Cyclophosphamide or paclitaxel to treat advanced disease. Cisplatin is also a member of the BEP regimen for germ cell cancers. The regimen includes bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (platinum). Due to its lower toxicity, carboplatin is being tested as a substitute for cisplatin in this combination.
Possible side effects of these medications include:
- Life-threatening allergic reactions
- Kidney damage
- Hearing loss
- Bone marrow damage
- Liver damage
- Nerve damage
- Blood vessel damage
Etoposide is the second member of the BEP regimen for germ cell cancers.
Possible side effects of this medication include:
- Severe bone marrow damage
- Severe allergic reactions
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Hair loss
- Heart muscle injury
Cyclophosphamide may be combined with cisplatinum to treat advanced disease. Cyclophosphamide interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since cyclophosphamide may also affect the growth of normal body cells, other effects will also occur. Cyclophosphamide is given either by mouth or by injection.
Possible side effects of cyclophosphamide include:
- Cough or hoarseness
- Fever or chills
- Lower back or side pain
- Missed menstrual periods
- Painful or difficult urination
- Darkening of skin and fingernails
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sterility in men
- Bone marrow damage and risk of leukemias
Doxorubicin is used in combination treatments for very advanced or resistant cancer. Doxorubicin seems to interfere with the growth of cancer cells, which are then eventually destroyed by the body. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by doxorubicin, other effects will also occur. Doxorubicin is given as an injection.
Possible side effects of doxorubicin include:
- Sores in mouth and on lips
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Damage to the heart muscle
- Pain at place of injection
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling of feet and lower legs
Topotecan is used in combination treatments for very advanced, resistant, or recurrent cancer. Topotecan inhibits an enzyme topoisomerase I, causing DNA damage to tumor cells. It is commonly given intravenously daily for 5 days every 3 weeks.
Possible side effects of topotecan include:
- Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation
- Hair loss, rash, mouth sores
- Weakness and headache
- Cough and trouble breathing
- Fatigue, fever, pain
- Bone marrow damage
Docetaxel is similar to paclitaxel and is a semisynthetic compound derived from yew plants. It is commonly given intravenously every three weeks, often with corticosteroids to prevent problems with sensitivity to the medication.
Possible side effects of docetaxel include:
- Hair loss
- Weakness and nerve damage
- Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting
- Mouth sores
- Fluid retention
- Liver damage
- Bone marrow damage

Research shows trying to just "fix the kid" does not generally work. The family should be involved if at all possible. I made it a special point to learn the specific strategies and techniques for this population as I went through my schooling. To this day I have approx. one decade of experience in working with this population, and I look forward to continuing to work with children at the youngest ages, but with family involvement.
