Although the city manager is being asked to end a policy that allows pension "spiking" by Phoenix police officers and firefighters, no changes are imminent because the city must honor its labor-contract obligations until next fiscal year.
The Arizona Republic reports that the practice of pension spiking has allowed a few senior public-safety retirees to become millionaires by adding the value of some unused benefits into final salary calculations that substantially elevated their annual pension payments.
The practice is prohibited for most other city employees, but was put in place at least a decade ago by city management for police officers and firefighters, according to the Republic.
"We want to end any of the abuses in the system," Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said.
Stanton said he wants to change the practice through labor negotiations that will begin later this year between City Manager David Cavazos and public-safety unions.
A police-union official said if the city takes away pension benefits, then Phoenix must increase other forms of compensation for public-safety officers.
The firefighters' union president said upper-level managers are typically the ones receiving the large pensions, which puts rank-and-file employees in a negative light with the public.
The city allows public-safety officers at the end of their careers to cash in unused sick leave and vacation, deferred compensation, payment for emergency shifts, bonuses, and vehicle and cellphone allowances, counting all as compensation.
The inflated compensation significantly increases or "spikes" annual retirement benefits and the cost to taxpayers. All public-safety employees are allowed to spike, though the most costly cases have been top managers at the high end of the pay range.

Guest post by Janet Adams
Rope magic is a genre of magic which uses ropes to perform all manner of tricks and illusions that are sure to wow and bamboozle an adoring audience of fans and skeptics alike. The earliest recorded incidence of rope magic occurred way back in the 14th century China but the genre gained widespread renown in the 19th century when British soldiers witnessed it being performed by Indian magicians and they brought back news of its wonder back home. Back then it was quite an elaborate trick which involved a magician throwing a rope into the air where it remained erect with no external support. He then sent his assistant up the rope to get something; the assistant climbed up and disappeared in the heights. The assistant takes too long to come back and the magician grows increasingly angry then finally, armed with a sword he follows his assistant up the rope. Sounds of a violent confrontation are heard above by the crowd and soon the dismembered body of the assistant falls to the ground. The magician descends soon after, collects the scattered limbs and puts them in a box. He then proceeds to restore his assistant who appears whole before the dumbfounded audience. Rope magic nowadays is not always as elaborate. It has evolved in so many ways and a large proportion of rope magic presently consists of rope tricks that are quite simple although they are equally entertaining and engaging. They include tricks such as a rope seemingly defying gravity and standing upright on end, tying several knots incredibly fast and then moving them along the length of a rope and even making them disappear and reappear interchangeably on the rope.
Rope magic has evolved greatly over its long history. However, its core appeal has remained unaltered through the years. Whether a man is climbing up a rope that is standing on end with no external support or whether an amateur magician is performing rope knot tricks at an office party, rope magic remains a highly appealing visual art that is both enjoyable to watch and still leaves the audience bewildered as to how what they are seeing can be true. To mystify, engage and entertain are at the core of the purposes of magic and art, and rope magic does them all with seamless ease.

You're the best! I appreciate all of your Birthday wishes so much.
Clarabelle will get a surprise from the postman if she'll send me an email at allybelser at comcast dot net with her mailing address. She wished me a Happy 51st Birthday and that is how many I was yesterday. Yay!
There were presents and knitting.
Last weekend The Saint and I picked out this super cool new knitting chair for my favorite spot by the window. It's big enough for me and Winston, the grand-dog, to fit in comfortably. Allowances have to be made for the little animals too.
Notice the handy-dandy drawer for stuff! The theory being that all the stuff will be in the drawer instead of surrounding the chair...not sure it's ever gonna work out like that, nice try though Honey! lol
I was able to get some knitting in while The Saint checked out the fishing situation on the river. The sun was shining and the temperature was about 70 and I got to sit in the truck in the park near the Sixth St dam and knit for more than an hour in the peace and quiet, aaahhh.
Here's what I accomplished...It's the beginning of a child size Baby Surprise Jacket designed by Elizabeth Zimmermann. I'm working it in Moda Dea Sassy Stripes in the Stormy colorway. I got a 10 pack of this yarn super cheap on eBay eons ago and this seems like the perfect project for it. And probably about 3 more sweaters, lol. It's practice before I start the Adult Surprise Jacket for myself.
Yes, I'm actually following the instructions from the Adult Surprise Jacket that say "we recommend that you knit a baby version first to give you a rudimentary idea of what you are doing". Since I have invested a nice sum of cash in the yarn for the adult version I don't want to be wearing it out trying to learn the concept of this design.
Sometimes others know best. This is a hard concept for me to accept in most situations. LOL
I got cards, and a gift card from Rena to use at KnitPicks! I'm going shopping as soon as I'm done posting this today. he-he-he
She also presented me with a copy of Mason-Dixon Knitting which I have been coveting at my LYS. What a happy book it is. And, a ball of self-striping Sugar & Cream in a very pretty pink. She spoils me!
Jared returned from his trip to St Louis in time for my birthday! The Saint, Jared, Rena and I headed over to Bombay Cuisine where we enjoyed a fabo dinner and a nice bottle of Little Penguin Pinot Noir. Loved it!
It was a marvelous day. I am blessed.
Have a great day everybody!

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A traffic stop turns deadly in Baltimore City overnight. An officer is dragged two blocks then opens fire on the driver.
Rochelle Ritchie has exclusive video obtained just moments after the shooting.
There's now a better understanding of why the suspect may have pulled off in the first place. Baltimore City police tell WJZ he had about 18 months left in his parole. They also found crack cocaine inside his car.
Cell phone video obtained exclusively by WJZ shows the scene just moments after a Baltimore City cop shoots a man just around 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Police tell WJZ the frantic woman in the video is the 19-year-old daughter of the suspect, heard screaming: "That's my father!"
Baltimore City police say 40-year-old Shawn Dean was pulled over for running through a stop sign.
"When an officer on the driver side stepped away from the car, the suspect started the vehicle and drove off," said Commissioner Anthony Batts, Baltimore City Police Department.
Baltimore City police say the officer was dragged from Mannasota and Dudley Avenue two blocks away to Shannon Drive. The suspect's vehicle actually jumped the curb after he was shot.
"I looked out the window and see maybe 20 police cars out here. You don't usually have that kind of commotion in the neighborhood," a neighbor said.
WJZ has learned more about the suspect Shawn Dean. Maryland judicial records show a long rap sheet of 28 cases involving drugs, attempted first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, handgun violations, reckless endangerment and theft.
Police say a felony amount of crack cocaine was found inside the car driven by Dean.
"There were recovered from the passenger compartment of the car. They were collected altogether," said Dep. Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez.
This is the second police shooting where an officer has shot and killed a suspect. In September, Donte Bennett was shot and killed in Southeast Baltimore after being chased through a courtyard.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts says he is confident in his officers and their training.
"We'll continue to look for ways to improve this organization and our professional standards," he said.
The injured officer who fired those fatal shots has been treated and released from the hospital. The police commissioner says he has not been interviewed just yet to determine exactly how he ended up being dragged.
The name of the officer is not being released. He is on paid administrative leave.

Legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams made audiences laugh and cry throughout his decades' long career. While you will undoubtedly hear countless compilations of some of Williams' greatest hits in the coming days and weeks, Glenn asked Pat to put together a unique package highlighting some of Williams more "genius" moments.
"I asked Pat to put together a compilation of Robin Williams," Glenn said on radio this morning. "Everyone is running the same compilation of Robin Williams' stuff and they're running the 'Good Morning, Vietnam,' and then they kind of clip not funny parts from that movie. I really think that we should show the genius of Robin Williams. And the genius comes from him just improvising and going off script."
Listen to the compilation below:
You may have noticed the compilation ends with a clip from Aladdin, in which Genie says his biggest wish would be for "freedom." Given the circumstances surrounding Williams' death, Glenn found that moment particularly poignant.
"I actually asked Pat to include that part of the genie trapped because I really believe, in some way, that is who we all are. But the best example of it is Robin Williams. We have this phenomenal power. It's not a genie. It's this universal power, this strength, this being beyond our understanding. And it's frightening sometimes," Glenn concluded. "Robin Williams, the genie is finally free."

LBA2009: A New NBAA Show Addressing Single-Pilot Needs
ORLANDO, FL, October 8, 2008 – As many people know, business aviation is a diverse community of companies of all sizes that use general aviation (GA) aircraft of all types. The operational challenges these companies face, and the resources needed to confront them, are as varied as the businesses and airplanes themselves.
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has unveiled a new show to address the unique challenges and needs of businesses that rely on light business airplanes to make their business models successful. The first-ever NBAA Light Business Airplane Exhibition & Conference (LBA2009) specifically will focus on operators of piston airplanes, turboprops and light jets.
The new event will take place from Thursday, March 12 through Saturday, March 14, 2009, in San Diego, CA. The LBA2009 exhibit hall will be located at the award-winning San Diego Convention Center, and is expected to cover approximately 1,000 exhibit booth spaces.
The concept for the event came from NBAA Members, who told the Association that they need an event specific to their business airplanes and operations. LBA2009 will respond to this need by showcasing airplanes that can be flown single-pilot and providing a host of Information Sessions, including a single-pilot Safety Standdown, tax seminars and a variety of other key topics generated by the operators themselves.
The event also will include a Static Display of Airplanes just minutes from the convention center, at Landmark Aviation Services on San Diego International Airport (SAN).
The show's Opening General Session will feature keynoter Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes magazine, and a general aviation enthusiast who uses a Cirrus SR22 for business.
"I'm delighted to be a part of this event, and I look forward to being there on opening day, to share what I've learned about using an airplane for business, and exchange helpful tips and tools with people like me."
Educational Sessions at LBA2009 will cover everything from the tax benefits of using a single-pilot airplane for business, to the various types of business uses for GA aircraft and the regulatory frameworks that govern them, to medical certification standards for pilots.
John and Martha King, renowned aviation instructors and jet operators for over 20 years, will share what they wish they had known before they bought and operated their first jet. The session – normally priced at $395 – is free for LBA2009 Attendees.
Exciting news about this latest NBAA event continues to be announced, and planning for the show has benefited from expertise provided by a local committee of GA leaders based in the San Diego area. Mike Herman, who heads up the committee, is the founder of North American Communications and a Cessna CJ3 pilot. He is also a member of NBAA's Board of Directors.
"I started my business forty years ago with one plane," said Herman, "And when I wanted to start using an airplane for the business, I wish I'd had a single resource to turn to for the host of tax and regulatory issues, maintenance procedures and safety standards involved. That's what this new event is all about – we're going to gather all of the most important information for business operators into one place."
The LBA2009 Local Committee is working to make NBAA's inaugural Light Business Airplane Exhibition & Conference the best it can be. For those who would like to attend or exhibit, visit the official LBA2009 web site at www.nbaa.org/lba, contact NBAA at 1-800-928-4283 (1-800-9-AVIATE), or e-mail NBAA at email@example.com.

August 16, 2016 - Press Release
Fleetio has begun offering a Web-based software module that provides an alternative to paper-based vehicle inspections for fleets, the company has announced.
The module, which is availabe using the Fleetio Go mobile app, allows drivers to quickly and accurately complete required inspections and trigger maintenance workflows.
Fleetio allows fleet administrators to choose from preformatted templates (DOT, MOT) or build their own vehicle inspection forms including customized fields, instructions for drivers and inspection schedules.
Drivers scan a barcode on their mobile devices to access and perform assigned inspections. If inspection items fail, drivers include details such as photos and comments to offer improved clarity to mechanics and management. Failed items trigger maintenance workflows.
"The simplicity of mobile inspections has been a game-changer for our drivers," said George Buckner, chief information officer of the Central Florida Electric Cooperative. "Fleetio offers clean, easy-to-use vehicle inspections forms that don't get lost in the shuffle."

If you have $79,500, you can live catty-corner from me in the pretty white house. Four bedrooms. Detached garage. Porch swing. Even lot. I've been inside a long time ago and it's a nice but small place. I doubt "four bedrooms" unless they are counting a couple closets, but still, $79,500? It needs work but telling you it's a sweet deal.
But I am mad that they kicked the poor old lady who was living there out. SO WHAT if she wandered the neighbourhood and didn't know where she was pretty frequently? Live free or die, right? The third choice got made for her: nursing home. Poor lady. And whether she leaves her stove burners on is her business. Likely she'd be out of the house if the place caught fire anyway...
They put my neighbour Miss R in a home after she kept forgetting stuff and falling down and needing to be "looked in on" constantly. SO WHAT if she let her entire basement mildew and rot so badly they had to redo the entire interior? Her house. Mould issues can't be nearly so bad as the cigarette smoke she ingested alllll the time. You could run your finger down the table or wall and it would come up yellow/brown. This was one of those places you'd go into when you desperately need a bath so that your own BO can counteract some of the rancidness inside. No, really, it was indeedy pretty awful.
She was super super super thin because she would forget to eat. Or wouldn't eat ordinary foods. D and I bought her a big box of candy bars or invited her to dinner at our place and we knew she would eat something if it was already made for her. She just wouldn't eat anything else but candy bars and donuts. But SO WHAT. Her daughters just kicked her out and gave the place to the gran'kids who tore it all up and added a new roof. And a fence. And got rid of the do-it-yourself wiring. I miss her. And the house just doesn't have as much character now.
And Miss B has been gone quite some time. SO WHAT if she only lived in the kitchen and dining areas of the house, and blocked the rest off with blankets? It's her house. Only think of all the money and/or time she saved not worrying about the rest of the place. She was (aside from being a crotchety and crabby person who liked to threaten calling City Hall about our weeds, which really weren't that bad) the quietest person you'd want to deal with.
Also, shutting off electric and stuff to the rest of the house is a great idea. You really only need a couch, a fridge, your ashtray (meh, I guess) and a crossword puzzle book. And some foam fruit from the 1970's covered in sequins. Gotta have that.
Arg. Everybody keeps selling and new people moving in. The place is not so quiet any more. Used to be we were the only people under 65 on the whole street. Now when my neighbours' kids and grandkids come to visit, I want to tell them to look out because they might be next! :(

After watching a hell load of 'Banged Up Abroad' and reading a few books on some famous cases (James Miles and Paul Loseby) it has occurred to me how much someone should suffer from a relatively mild case of drug smuggling. A crime should be measured on severity, but in this case a lot of these drug smugglers are given more time than mass murderers, rapists, and terrorists. I'm not sure about the
Prisons like La Sabaneta, Yare, Carandiru in South America are notorious for corruption, mass murders, torture, and rape. Inmates carry guns, knifes, grenades and are given little to no punishment for committing murder inside. According to a book I recently read (Hellhole) murders happen every day, guards are so corrupt that everything has a price. Guards smuggle drugs into the prison, arrange women to be raped inside, and shoot anyone outside of their cell after dark. Most of these jails have some sort of initiation where a one of many gangs would approach you and tell you to kill or steal from a rival gang. If you refused you would either be stabbed on the spot, or get branded with a hot iron poker which would subject you to being the whipping boy of the entire jail.
The conditions of the prisons are even worse and unless your willing to murder, or deal drugs inside, you would die within months from drinking contaminated water. Insects and disease ridden animals roam the prisons, and it's not uncommon for a botfly to lay eggs inside your ears where they hatch maggots that cause inmates to go insane. Cells are tiny and the hygiene of the entire complex makes you think you're living in a sewer. Guards get to torture you at will and if an inmate was to rebel against them, they would be put in solitary confinement for weeks which would involve being locked in a concrete room with shackles round your arms and positioned high up so you couldn't even sit down. Add to that, you would be knee deep in shit, blood and urine.
A typical coke smuggler caught with a few kilos of coke could land you fifteen years of a fate worse than hell. The worse thing is, most of the 'smugglers' are set up so that someone could plant drugs on an unsuspecting tourist, so a corrupt cop can arrest the tourist, give them fifteen years in jail and claim the drugs for himself.
I don't really have much sympathy for anyone committing crimes, no matter how desperate they are. You could argue that these drug smugglers are second hand murderers and I would agree, but having your freedom taken away from you is one thing. Living in fear and experiencing hell every day for what would seem like an eternity would be a fate worse than death. Being forced to commit a crime in order to survive inside, just makes me think that you would come out of jail even worse.
So, in a nutshell, do they deserve it? Wouldn't it be kinder just to be executed? (although would likely never happen).

I first encountered the artist Robert Hawkins not through his work, but in the flesh, having seen only a hint of what his art was like in a forwarded Christmas e-card. Since then I've had a chance to see his work and form a great admiration for his paintings and drawings.
The encounter happened a few years back when my friend David invited me along to a meeting with the artist. We ended up getting cheap Thai food at the marvelously drab Marie's Cafe in Waterloo, and apart from having an entertaining anecdote about Carmen McRae (I won't ruin it here with a fumbled retelling), alluding to his days in the 80s lower Manhattan art scene, and being so kind as to treat us to dinner, I became doubly impressed with Robert Hawkins when I actually got to see his work - not an easy task via the Internet.
I guess I like Hawkins (quoted as Basquiat's favourite artist) in the same way I like Joe Brainard - who also triumphs with "a kind of 'outsider' aesthetic that refuses to be pinned down to one attitude, whether cynical, fantastical, or satirical".
The link above directs to an article from Artforum, and here is a (small) jpeg of one his (large 5"x6") drawings of Famous Haunted English Ruins, plus a few more I managed to glean from the Internet.

" We have come through a strange cycle in programming, starting with the creation of programming itself as a human activity. Executives with the tiniest smattering of knowledge assume that anyone can write a program, and only now are programmers beginning to win their battle for recognition as true professionals. Not just anyone, with any background, or any training, can do a fine job of programming. Programmers know this, but then why is it that they think that anyone picked off the street can do documentation? One has only to spend an hour looking at papers written by graduate students to realize the extent to which the ability to communicate is not universally held. And so, when we speak about computer program documentation, we are not speaking about the psychology of computer programming at all - except insofar as programmers have the illusion that anyone can do a good job of documentation, provided he is not smart enough to be a programmer.

1. The Live Life Manifesto (Holstee)
Social enterprise and design company Holstee created a perfectly modern manifesto that emphasises optimism, big dreams, love, curiosity and compassion.
2. The Make Art Manifesto (Austin Kleon)
Artist and writer Austin Kleon decided to turn the 10 things he wished he'd heard when he was in college into a manifesto for creativity in the digital age.
3. The DIY Manifesto
A DIY manifesto for anyone who's ever been struck by the absurdity that it's now cheaper to buy a new toaster than repair your old one. Save the planet one wrench and bolt at a time.
4. The Surrealist Manifesto (Salvador Dali)
Last year blog Brain Pickings invited artist Molly Crabapple to illustrate Salvador Dali's creative vision and personal credo. While some of the dichotomies may seem obvious (complexity vs. simplicity), a Dali manifesto wouldn't be complete without a few additional whimsies such as "spinach" and "melting watches".
5. The Thinker's Manifesto (Bertrand Russell)
Written in contrast to the Bible's ten steps to salvation, British philosopher Bertrand Russell provides his New York Times readers with the tools for independent thought and anti-establishment living.
6. The Loner's Manifesto (Tanya Davis)
Tanya Davis' gorgeously gentle guide to being alone is a manifesto that every introvert can embrace.
7. The Zen Manifesto (Zenhabits)
In true zen-style, blogger Leo Babauta says the short version to his "Simple Living Manifesto" is first identify what's most important to you, then eliminate everything else. For those who want a little more detail on exactly how to do that:
8. The Innovation Manifesto (Seth Godin)
Marketing guru Seth Godin is beloved in the start-up scene as a treasure chest of good ideas and advice. His latest manifesto inspires you to become a "linchpin" – aka those who "invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos".
9. The Ascetic Manifesto (Leo Tolstoy)
If you think the life of a writer is all chain-smoking, whiskey-drinking late nights at the typewriter, think again. Prolific Russian writer Leo Tolstoy wrote his rules for life when he was just 18 years of age, and they seem to prove that stellar novels are a product of good old fashioned hard work and frugal living.
10. The Filmmaker's Manifesto (Dogme 95)
Dogme 95 was an avant-garde filmmaking movement started in Denmark which sought to "purify" filmmaking by excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology. Rules included the use of hand-held cameras, and all shooting done on location without extra props or sets.
11. The Personal Manifesto (Grimes)
This year Canadian artist Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes, took to Tumblr to rage against the haters and dirtbags trying to bring her down. And while you might not be able to relate to points like "I'm tired of people harassing my dancers", you may be inspired enough to write your own powerful declaration.

Rye Cove defeated J.I. Burton in the finals of the Region D Division 1 tournament Saturday and will be the destination for Galax in the opening round of the Group A Division 1 state tournament Tuesday.
The contest will be a rematch of last year's state quarterfinals, in which Rye Cove defeated Galax 3-1.
There were a total of 205 points played and won in the Region C Division 1 volleyball championship match Thursday at Galax High School. Points No. 181 and 182 are the ones the Maroon Tide will remember.
Leading two sets to one and tied at 24 in the fourth game, Galax was two points away from claiming its first region championship in volleyball when Bath County pulled out the set, then pulled away in the fifth to successfully defend its title 25-15, 17-25, 24-26, 26-24, 15-8.
INDEPENDENCE – Grayson County won its first playoff game since 1991 Friday night with a 35-15 triumph over a much improved Graham team in the opening round of the Group A Division 2 Western Section tournament at Bill Strong Field.
It was the second win over the G-Men this season for the Blue Devils, who beat them 41-3 in an Oct. 7 regular season game.
"Graham came to play and their quickness and execution gave us some problems," said Blue Devil coach Brett McPherson.
On a date like 11/11/11, there was no way a 1 was going down.
Top-seeded Galax opened its postseason in dominant fashion and thoroughly dismantled No. 16 Holston, thumping the youthful Cavaliers 64-7 in the opening round of the Western Section Division 1 playoffs Friday at Galax High School
The Maroon Tide advances to this week's second round, where it will host No. 8 Castlewood (8-3), a 38-24 winner over Rye Cove.
FANCY GAP — The 25th year of the Bulldog Booster Club's Christmas Bazaar at Fancy Gap Elementary School will feature unique gift items, according to the organizer.
Scheduled for Nov. 12 at the school, the event begins at 7 a.m.
Nearly $470,000 in grants have been awarded, since grants administrator Brenda Marrah began working for the City of Galax in January.
When Carroll County eliminated a similar position last November due to budget cuts, the city quickly hired her.
Shortly after Carroll let Marrah go, the city began discussion about hiring her as the grants administrator — a new position for the city, created to reduce operational costs and offset capital expenditures.
In the first fundraiser breakfast that Applebee's hosted for the Free Clinic of the Twin Counties, over $1,000 was donated to the agency.
A couple of months ago, the fundraiser only raised $94.
Despite advertisements, the fundraiser has been on a decline since after the first few months.
Delivery thoughts
There is a man and a woman that carries mail in Pipers Gap. When the woman carries the mail, you can depend on her being two hours later. The man gets here faster. The man should do it all the time.

Warren, Ohio (WKBN) – A man from Warren is behind bars accused of forging his discharge papers to get special license plates.
Keith Chandler, 33, pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of tampering with records. Prosecutors said he forged his DD214 papers claiming he was injured in combat overseas in order to get Purple Heart license plates.
Warren City Law Director Greg Hicks, who is also a veteran, is disgusted by Chandler's actions.
"Those who did deserve the honor and someone should not take away from that or belittle it or make it less than it is by attempting to get it themselves when it is not deserved," said Hicks.
Local veterans said Chandler's actions are a slap in the face to anyone who has made such a sacrifice.
"I find that sad that someone would go and do that. You know so many individuals that were in the combat theatre didn't get to come home and put a plate on their car," said Herman Breuer, veteran service commission director.
Purple Heart recipient Gary Gutelius agrees with Breuer. Gutelius received his Purple Heart after being wounded in the Vietnam War. He is also a junior vice commander for the Military Order of the Purple Hearts.
"I can't believe he would do this knowing he was in the military and knows what we went through. That is what hurts," Gutelius said.
Members of the various veteran agencies said they plan to be at Chandler's future court hearings to let him know they are upset.
Chandler was fired on Monday from his job as internet sales and leasing consultant at Sims Buick in Warren. Owners said it was because of an unrelated matter.

Scams no joking matter
Published 7:00 am, Sunday, April 3, 2011
Being the butt of an April fool's joke is fine when it's good-natured fun. But no one wants to fall victim to a scam artist or identity thief.
You may think you're safe simply by not carrying your Social Security card with you and not providing your personal information over the Internet or by email. But scam artists have become shrewd. Never reply to an email claiming to be from Social Security and asking for your Social Security number or personal information.
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America. If you think you've been the victim of an identity thief, you should contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft. Or, you can call 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338); TTY 1-866-653-4261.
Some people who receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are often victimized by misleading advertisers. Often, these companies offer Social Security services for a fee, even though the same services are available directly from Social Security free of charge. These services include getting a:
•Corrected Social Security card showing a bride's married name;
•Social Security card to replace a lost card;
•Social Security Statement; and
•Social Security number for a child.
Some direct scammers suggest that Social Security is in dire financial shape and that people risk losing their Social Security or Medicare benefits unless they send a contribution or membership fee to the advertiser.
If you receive or see what you believe is misleading advertising for Social Security services, send the complete mailing, including the envelope, to: Office of the Inspector General, Fraud Hotline, Social Security Administration, P.O. Box 17768, Baltimore, MD 21235. Also, advise your State's attorney general or consumer affairs office and the Better Business Bureau.
Learn more about identity theft at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10064.html. Read about misleading advertising at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10005.html.
Please don't let a scam artist or identity thief make an April fool out of you.

MINNEAPOLIS—Sheriff's deputies tore down several makeshift tents erected by Occupy Minnesota demonstrators on the plaza of the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis but made no arrests.
Citing a right to shelter against the increasingly chilly nights, the anti-Wall Street protesters on Saturday put up several tents made of clear plastic despite a ban on structures on the plaza.
Ben Painter, of Minneapolis, told Minnesota Public Radio (http://bit.ly/rhhA6i) he was sleeping in one tent when more than three dozen officers arrived around 1:30 a.m. Sunday to remove them. Painter says he and about 70 other protesters formed a circle around the tents, but the officers dragged them out of the way and took the tents down.
The county allows protesters to stay on the plaza all night, but tents are banned.

She does everything at the bank: cashing checks, making deposits, helping customers open accounts and selling money orders and CDs. Hein works about four hours a day and trades off shifts with Barb Taylor.
"This was my goal. I was going to work until I was 80," Hein said.
Now, she has to re-evaluate that to see how much longer she wants to work. Hein still has plenty of activities to keep her busy at this point.
"I've become friends with so many residents, and I even have a knitting group that I do twice a month," Hein said.
She grew up in Hillsboro and had worked in that area until moving to Cimarron in the 1970s when she took a job to provide computer training to school district staff members.
She moved to Lawrence in 1992 to work for DataTeam Systems Inc. It's a decision she doesn't regret.
"All the activities and the culture, and I've made so many friends here," Hein said.
After seven years at DataTeam Systems, which was acquired by Harris Computer Systems in 2006, she retired and moved in and out of part-time jobs before starting at Douglas County Bank.
Her supervisor, branch manager Michael Crossman, said Hein is inspiring and works well with customers. He hired her four years ago after they had worked together briefly at another bank.
"She always says, 'You keep working. It keeps your mind fresh,'" Crossman said.
Hein's oldest son from Wichita - along with a contingent from Denver, including her daughter, younger son and grandson, who shares her birthday - have traveled to Lawrence to celebrate.
"It's going to be a big day for us," Hein said.

Fear of Miscarriage
It's normal to fear the loss of a treasured person, especially when that little person is the baby growing inside you. You may find yourself checking for bleeding or spotting every time you go to the bathroom. This is a normal reaction, especially for mothers who have previous miscarriages.
Don't worry that every spot of blood or abdominal cramp signals miscarriage. Many women with healthy pregnancies show light bleeding (called implantation bleeding) early in pregnancy as baby is implanting into the blood-vessel-rich lining of the uterus.
What is a miscarriage? Miscarriage – the medical term is "spontaneous abortion"—means the natural loss of the pregnancy before the fetus is developed enough to survive outside the womb. If a miscarriage occurs before twelve weeks it is called an early miscarriage. If it occurs between twelve and twenty weeks it is called a late miscarriage. The loss of a baby after twenty weeks is termed a stillbirth.
Why do miscarriages occur? At least half of all early miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus so severe that growth cannot continue. Other, less common causes of early miscarriages include infections, endocrine deficiencies (especially of progesterone), rare immune system abnormalities (mother makes antibodies against the placental tissue), and exposure to environmental toxins (such as teratogens), drugs, or cigarette smoke.
Late miscarriages are more likely to be due to structural abnormalities of the uterus (for example, a uterus divided by a wall of tissue) rather than genetic abnormalities in the baby. Fortunately, these abnormalities affect less than one percent of women. Other causes of late miscarriages are abnormal attachment of placenta, uterine fibroids (benign tumors), an incompetent cervix, infections, or endocrine disturbances.
For around a third of all miscarriages, the cause is unknown. Miscarriages are not caused by sexual intercourse, safe exercises, heavy lifting, hanging pictures, doing your usual amount of work and play, a minor fall or accident, or stress or emotional upsets.
When are miscarriages most likely to occur? Most miscarriages occur before the eighth week of pregnancy. As your pregnancy progresses, the chance of miscarriage decreases.
How common are miscarriages? Most pregnancies begin with a healthy fetus, growing in a normal uterus, and result in a healthy baby. Studies have shown that around 10 percent of confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage. Very early in pregnancy, however, miscarriage may be confused with an unusually heavy, late menstrual period. So the general figure for all miscarriages is thought to be around 20 percent.
Can I reduce the chance of miscarriage? In most cases there is nothing you can do to prevent miscarriage, as most are caused by factors out of your control. There are, however, a few things you can do for your baby: give baby a healthy womb environment, refraining especially from smoking and harmful drugs, excessive alcohol, and avoiding exposure to environmental toxins.
What if I've had miscarriages? If you have had several miscarriages, your doctor will probably want to do special tests to see if a cause can be found. In many cases, he or she can help you achieve a pregnancy that goes to term. Structural abnormalities can be corrected by surgery. Hormone deficiency can often be compensated for by injections. Medical science has solutions for many of the common – and not so common – causes of repeated miscarriage.
1. Bleeding (either bright red or dark brown, depending on how recently the miscarriage began). As many as 20 percent of women with healthy pregnancies may have one or two episodes of spotting or light vaginal bleeding early in pregnancy, so a bloody discharge from the vagina does not necessarily mean a miscarriage has or will occur. Bleeding that is as heavy as a menstrual period or that continues for several days is more likely to be associated with a miscarriage.
2. Cramping abdominal pains, similar to menstrual pains, and/or a low backache
Later in pregnancy a miscarriage will be more obvious. The bleeding is heavier, and often includes the passage of clots. Uterine contractions can become very intense. Sometimes these signs and symptoms signal an impending miscarriage – called a threatened miscarriage – rather than a completed one. In general, the longer the bleeding occurs and the greater the accompanying symptoms of pain, the more likely this pregnancy will end in miscarriage.
Call your doctor if you suspect a miscarriage. If you suspect you're having a miscarriage, call your healthcare provider immediately, especially if you are passing clots or grayish-pink tissue. If your bleeding is heavy and persistent, or your pelvic pains intensify, go to your nearest emergency room. (Try to collect some of the tissue in a jar. It can be examined to confirm the presence of fetal tissue and, if desired, to determine whether or not the genetic make-up of the tissue is normal.)
If you have miscarried – your practitioner will perform a vaginal examination to determine whether the miscarriage is complete (you have passed all the tissue) or incomplete (some of the fetal tissue still remains in your uterus). Miscarriages that occur prior to eight weeks are usually complete. The later in pregnancy a miscarriage occurs, the more likely it is to be incomplete. If your healthcare provider determines that your miscarriage is incomplete, he or she will probably want you to have a D&C (dilatation and curettage). While you are under general anesthesia, your cervix will be dilated and any retained placental or fetal tissue is removed. During this procedure the doctor may attempt to determine the possible cause of the miscarriage by examining your uterus for any structural abnormalities. He or she may also send a sample of the fetal tissue to a laboratory for genetic analysis. Since there are many other reasons for vaginal bleeding, your doctor may choose to do an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis of miscarriage before doing a D&C.
If you have not miscarried – your doctor may just send you home. Or he or she may monitor you with ultrasound and blood tests.
If this was your first known miscarriage, your risk of having a second one is only slightly higher than if you never had a miscarriage, especially if your first miscarriage showed a chromosomal abnormality, it occurred early in pregnancy, or you have previously given birth to a healthy baby. Even after experiencing two miscarriages, your chances of having a third one are not much higher than if you never had one. For example, if you have had two miscarriages, you have a 65 percent chance of carrying your next baby to term; a woman who has never miscarried or has had only one miscarriage has roughly an 80 percent chance of carrying to term. After three miscarriages, however, your chances of carrying your next baby to term go down to 50 percent. After three consecutive miscarriages, you would be wise to have a complete obstetrical evaluation to see if there are any underlying medical reasons that could cause you to have future miscarriages. If no reason can be found, you may reasonably assume that you still have an excellent chance of delivering a healthy baby.

09 ZR1 in the 9s!
You want "news"?
Ok...how 'bout this s$$t?!
Lingenfelter says it just put a mildy mod'ed ZR1 in the 9s.
According to LPE car has the following mods:
- Lingenfelter cast aluminum supercharger air intake snout
- Lingenfelter 8.5" diameter harmonic balancer - 11 rib
- Lingenfelter 2.60" diameter supercharger pulley - 11 rib
- Lingenfelter S&B air filter
- 4' diameter air intake tube with mass air sensor
- Ported stock throttle body
- Lingenfelter C6 ZR1 Supercharger Cast Aluminum air inlet
- Double capacity intercooler heat exchanger
- Larger capacity intercooler reservoir system
- Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials R345/35R18 rear tires
- M&H Racemaster P185/50R18 front tires
- CCW aluminum wheels
The above doesn't say anything about calibration but I'm gonna guess Graham B. and the guys at LPE did some stuff to the cal, too. Nor does the above say what kind of gasoline was being used but I think it's safe to say the car was on race gas.
The car had stock exhaust manifolds and stock exhaust with a mild/wild switch.
Reportedly this car makes almost 740 at the wheels and was in the 9s with three passes. On the best one, the car went 9.81 at 145.74.
Holy crap!
The venue was Maryland International Raceway near Budds Creek MD.

20 Somethings & Teen Moms
30 Kinds of People We Just Can't Stop Judging
Blame human nature. No matter how "nice" we want to be 24/7/365, sometimes, we just can't help letting our own hang-ups, lifestyles, backgrounds, or tastes influence how we see others. Or should I say, how we judge others?
Be honest: Whether we "mean to," "want to," or not, we all do it. When we're walking down the street, waiting in line at the store, or simply driving around town, it's impossible not to occasionally find yourself completely turned-off by someone else and labeling them in your head. Even little, not-so-obvious reasons could have us rolling our eyes. Here are 30 people who are just asking to be negatively judged based on their behavior or appearance ... and who we're ashamed to admit we judge. But we do.
- People who smoke. It's 2013, not 1950. We know too much about the health consequences of this nasty habit to keep thinking it's a good idea. Or an acceptable behavior around others who might not want to be subjected to secondhand smoke.
- People who drink lots of soda. Don't they know it's filled with high fructose corn syrup and chemicals that are rotting them from the inside out?
- People who perpetually eat junk food. See #2.
- People who have "too many kids." Seriously, are they trying to be the next Duggars or what?
- People who own guns.
- Women who wear tons of perfume/layers of makeup. What are they hiding under there?!
- Women who have overly long, painted fingernails -- particularly with nail art. Aren't there less icky ways of expressing yourself?
- Men with even slightly long fingernails and/or toenails. Eww, ever hear of personal hygiene?
- People who use poor grammar/spelling in an obviously lazy way. Failing to show you have a grasp on the English language is sure to do the opposite of impress.
- People who update their Facebook status constantly. Way to be totally self-obsessed!
- People who take the elevator up one floor. Really?! Take. The. Stairs.
- People who carry an ill-fitting, unkempt smartphone case. Kiiiinda screams "slob."
- People who keep a really messy (which, admittedly, is totally relative) home. Kiiinda screams "hoarder."
- People who are obese or have obese children. Sad one, but oh so true.
- People who won't recycle, even when it's really easy to. Globe-killing litter bugs!
- Restaurant-goers who say "let me get ..." or "gimme the ..." as opposed to "I would like ..." or "may I have ..." Have some manners!
- Self-righteous people who refuse to believe scientific evidence that contradicts what their faith tells them to believe.
- People who refuse to give up their seat for a pregnant woman on public transportation. Self-centered jerks!
- Public transportation users who lean on/"hump" the pole on the subway. So other people can't use it to hold on. Self-centered jerks!
- Republican, aka "conservative," FOX News-loving voters. (Applicable only to those who vote Democrat.) What are they thinking?!
- Democrat, aka "liberal," hippie voters. (Applicable only to those who vote Republican.) What are they thinking?!
- Gym-goers who don't to wipe down exercise machines after use. Gross.
- People who don't wash their hands in a public restroom. Shudder.
- Public transit users who sit on the outside seat ... and then act incredulous that they have to move when you ask to sit down.
- People who swear/curse profusely. Especially in front of kids.
- Anyone with a persistent, heavy, rattling sniff in a movie theater or other public place. Get a tissue!
- Vacationers who vacation only at Disney World. Helllooo, haven't these people ever considered broadening their horizons?
- People who can't stop driving and texting or walking and texting or movie-watching and texting, etc. Cut it out!
- People who neglect to hold the door for anyone (especially women/children). Have a little human decency, whydontcha?
- People who refuse to thank someone who holds the door for them. Common courtesy must be completely dead.
Be honest: What do you negatively judge others on?

by Jynnifer292January 31, 2013 at 9:49 AM
I judge people that are cruel, greedy, unethical, or rude.
I don't judge anyone based on appearances. I have no idea why they look that way. A fat person may have an eating disorder which is no less legitimate than anorexia. A person wearing sweatpants and a ripped t shirt might have spent all of their money to clothe their kids and had nothing left for themselves.
by GagaNTattooSJanuary 31, 2013 at 9:50 AMI am far too busy and have far better things to do with my time. I don't really care what others do. We vacation all the time at Disney and cruise ships have long nail always well taken care of. I am fat o well not your problem. I married a biker. There are so many things on that list that I do.
by Caitlyn137January 31, 2013 at 9:50 AMBut I knoes its wrong !!! I have cocanut water orapple juice
by Maks1mommyJanuary 31, 2013 at 9:50 AMI don't judge people, their life choices are not my business. Just because I eat healthy, keep my nails at a normal length and typically one color, don't leave the house of my kids are sick, am a healthy weight, don't believe in god, don't commit to one political party, because I use my car seat correctly, that doesn't give me the right to look down on others. If your life choices are effecting my life, I just won't be around you. I'm not going to waste my time eye balling somebody, when I don't know their story.

Brockshume History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the family living in the village and civil parish of Broxholm, near Lincoln in the county of Lincolnshire. This parish was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as lands held by Robert de Tosny. Today Broxholme is still located in the West Lindsey district, but has grown little since early times as according to the 2001 census it had a population of 58.
Early Origins of the Brockshume family

Another 371 words (26 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1500, 1570, 1689, 1805, 1647, 1640, 1689 and 1748 are included under the topic Early Brockshume History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Brockshume Spelling Variations
Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Brockshume include Broxholme, Broxholm, Broxsam, Broxholmn, Brocksholm, Broxhom and many more.

Migration of the Brockshume family to the New World and Oceana
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Brockshume or a variant listed above: a number of settlers who arrived by the 19th century.

Obama camp slams Clintons over drugs talk
Barack Obama's campaign has dismissed as not believable a prominent Hillary Rodham Clinton backer's "tortured explanation" for seeming to inject Obama's youthful drug use into the 2008 presidential campaign, and called it "troubling" that Clinton has not done more to distance herself from the remark.
Former President Bill Clinton was drawn into the controversy on Monday in appearances on black radio talk shows. He told one host, Roland Martin, that impolitic remarks by supporters sometimes "just happen" in politics and said, "I think it's important not to overreact to them."
Story Continued Below
Obama has admitted in his memoir to using drugs as a young man, and Hillary Clinton has said personal attacks using that information are off-limits. Except they keep coming, in what are now at least three direct or indirect drug references from top Clinton surrogates in recent weeks.
It happened again Sunday, at a Clinton campaign event before the senator went onstage.
Robert L. Johnson — a prominent businessman who founded Black Entertainment Television and is a top fundraiser, or Hillraiser, for the Clinton campaign — was giving a lengthy introduction of Clinton at a campaign town hall in Columbia, S.C., when he launched into a defense of the senator and President Bill Clinton for remarks that have drawn criticism in the black community.
Johnson said the Clintons have been "deeply and emotionally involved in black issues — when Barack Obama was doin' something in the neighborhood that I won't say what he was doin,' but he said it in his book."
The Clinton campaign later put out statement in which Johnson claimed he was referring not to drug use but to community organizing.
The Obama campaign Monday said that story does not wash. "His tortured explanation doesn't hold up against his original statement," campaign press secretary Bill Burton said in a statement. "And it's troubling that neither the campaign nor Sen. Clinton — who was there as the remark was made — is willing to condemn it as they did when another prominent supporter recently said a similar thing."
That was a reference to the prominent instance of a drug reference by a high-profile Clinton backer in December. National Clinton campaign co-Chairman Bill Shaheen resigned from the campaign after he speculated to The Washington Post on Dec. 12 about Obama's general election vulnerabilities: "The Republicans are not going to give up without a fight ... and one of the things they're certainly going to jump on is his drug use."
Then, Clinton pollster Mark Penn added kerosene to the controversy by emphasizing "cocaine use" when asked on MSNBC's "Hardball" about the Shaheen incident: "Well, I think we've made clear that the issue related to cocaine use is not something that the campaign was in any way raising."
Clinton officials were pressed on Monday for explanations why the drug issue keeps being blurted from the mouths of top Clinton aides if the topic is supposedly verboten.
"We have no tolerance for it," responded Howard Wolfson, the campaign communications director. "We have made it clear it's not a topic we're discussing in this campaign. It's unequivocally not a part of our campaign."
Bill Clinton, too, was grilled on the matter in at least two black radio appearances. Martin, interviewing the former president on WVON-AM in Chicago, made it clear that he — like Obama's campaign — considered Johnson's explanation for his Sunday comments laughable.
"Anybody listening can know what he was talking about — he wasn't talking about community organizing," the host said, according to an account posted by the New York Sun.
