MINNEAPOLIS — You learned a little about a lot of things after Nebraska fizzled out offensively Saturday against Minnesota, but that only seemed to lead to more questions.
NU quarterback Taylor Martinez disclosed that it wasn't actually the big toe on his left foot that bothered him — and had kept him out since the Sept. 14 UCLA game — and that his injury shouldn't be classified as "turf toe."
The senior also said his left shoulder, which he injured back on Aug. 31 against Wyoming, was still hurting.
And NU offensive coordinator Tim Beck was upfront saying he thought about a predetermined point in Saturday's game when he would insert Tommy Armstrong, the redshirt freshman who had started the previous three games at quarterback.
It was all footnotes on Saturday, however, as Martinez returned but the NU offense mostly struggled in a 34-23 loss at TCF Bank Stadium that gave the Huskers their first Big Ten dent as they started a crucial six-game stretch.
Martinez missed some throws but Husker receivers added some drops as he went 16 for 30 for 139 yards. Beck chose to run him sparingly, and his impact on the ground game was limited to a 35-yard gain in the third quarter.
Nebraska scored just 13 points in the last 52 minutes and finished with fewer than 37 for only the second time all season. NU never found any offensive rhythm (with a season-low 60 plays and 328 total yards).
But Martinez seemed destined to be the story, no matter the outcome.
When asked if he was 100 percent Saturday, he said: "I'm getting there. I'm close." It was an inevitable question after NU head coach Bo Pelini had said repeatedly that the Huskers wouldn't bring him back until he was full speed.
"It's been a very rough past month or five weeks or whatever it's been," Martinez said. "I was pretty much living in that treatment room and just trying to get my foot healthy, or as healthy as possible or as much as I could tolerate it."
Martinez said the problem has actually been with the two toes next to the big toe on his left foot. He declined to say if there had been a fracture in the toes.
"Every time I push off," he said, "it just feels like a shock."
Beck said the NU staff watched him closely as he returned to practice last Sunday and by Wednesday and Thursday felt ready to get him in position to play. Beck had been alternating Armstrong and Ron Kellogg in Martinez's absence, and said as of Friday he was thinking about going to Armstrong for the fourth series Saturday.
NU jumped ahead 10-0, with Martinez even starting out 5-for-5 passing. But Beck said he felt a little uncomfortable making the switch after three series with Minnesota back within 10-7 and the Huskers coming off a punt.
Beck stayed with Martinez, and Nebraska managed just three points the rest of the first half even though the Gophers twice helped Husker drives with 15-yard penalties on defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman for grabbing Martinez's face mask.
Staff writer Rich Kaipust breaks down the Huskers' play on both sides of the ball during NU's 34-23 loss to Minnesota.

Staff writer Rich Kaipust breaks down the Huskers' play on both sides of the ball during NU's 34-23 loss to Minnesota.
"I felt the tide turning a little bit," Beck said, "and I didn't know if it was good to be able to make that move at that point."
As the game went on, Beck said, the right situation just never seemed to present itself to make a change.
"And that's on me. That's my fault," he said. "I probably should have. My plan was to do it. I stuck with it in those other games. I got caught up in this game."
After completing 11 of 17 passes for 101 yards in the first half, Martinez was 5 for 13 after halftime, and his last throw was intercepted by defensive back Jeremy Baltazar with 16 seconds left.
Asked again about Martinez, Beck said he stuck with him "because he was rusty, and I wanted him to get that rust shaken off."
"So he needed to play," Beck said. "Getting him out, when a guy needs to play, is probably not the smartest thing to do."
Pelini bristled when asked about Martinez and his return, and mentioned the dropped passes being on the receivers.
"Let's not go there and act like Taylor Martinez lost this football game for us," Pelini said. "Our problems today were far beyond who our quarterback was."
They had to do with things like inconsistency on first down. Three promising drives that produced only field goals. A costly second-quarter fumble by Ameer Abdullah in a game when the I-back ran for 165 yards on 19 carries.
"We didn't make plays," Beck said. "All over the field, we just didn't make plays."
Beck acknowledged that Martinez and his receivers might have been a little out of sync. Physically he thought his quarterback held up OK.
And the start-to-finish outing showed the Husker staff's commitment to and trust in a quarterback making his 43rd career start.
"He had a great run. He had some good passes," NU receiver Quincy Enunwa said. "It's not always easy to come back off of three games of not playing — plus some bye weeks — and go in and be the T-Magic he was before."

Easy going – I was confused in buying a new car but they made it easy for me ... Thank you
Respectful Dealer – "'ve been a customer at Brotherton's service shop for the past few years,
and just wanted to let you know that one of the main reasons I continue
coming back is Theron Whitby. He always is very cordial and respectful on
the phone and greets me by name when I arrive. He is helpful when I explain
problems my truck is experiencing. Many service shops I have tried pressure
me to complete work on my vehicle that I wonder if it's truly needed, but I
never feel that pressure from Theron. He'll explain what the problem is (or
sometimes tell me they couldn't find the problem), explain what your
technicians have found, recommend if I should get it done now or later,
answer any questions I have, and leave the decision to me. I really
appreciate that he doesn't do the pressure sell. I also appreciate your
shop's flexibility, always allowing me to leave my truck off overnight, even
if it's just for an oil change, since Theron knows that is what works best
for my work schedule.
Painless – Typically I hate the whole car buying process. They made it painless.
I truly can't thank you enough for your support of the East Side women of Purpose Golf Tournament. WE raised over $50,000 which will be used to create intervention centers and safe houses for young girls being trafficked by locally and in Pattoya, Thailand. Your generosity was overwhelming to me, and I really appreciate the fantastic prized and auction items you donated! Thank you, (Brad). I look Forward to assisting you and your team at Brotherton Cadillac for years to come. Many Blessings!
Thanks!! – This has been, without a doubt, the best buying experience. I will not hesitate one moment to recommend Brotherton to friends, family, and co-workers. Thanks Team Brotherton for all your hard work and dedication to customer satisfaction! Thanks for all that you do!
Mr. Ryan Anderson is truly best-of-the-best! He was extremely knowledgeable and always friendly and courteous. Even with the east coast/west coast time difference, he made sure I was kept informed and was always available if I had questions. He had my trust and confidence from day one and delivered as promised!
Thank you for making this experience for my mom so easy! She has had a lot of stress in her life lately, with losing my dad and some of her own health issues. The last thing she needed was to add to that stress, and to be honest, buying a new car is usually a very stressful experience. I appreciate their kind, honest, no-pressure approach and will recommend them to everybody I know that is looking to buy a new car!
WOW! – Wow! What a great buying experience. The entire purchasing process was flawless and everyone from sales to finance erased any apprehension I may have had in buying a truck and having it delivered to DE
Thank you for a great buying experience! I recently purchased a truck from Mr. Ryan Anderson and had it shipped to DE. I completed the GMC online customer survey and wanted to share the comments with you. Thanks again.
Brad Brotheton – This is my Fourth Cadillac from Brotherton Cadillac. Brad Brotherton is truly Special and truly goesout of his way to see you are taken care of.

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Forfeiture, Jurisdiction, Right to be Present at Trial; APPEALS: Transcript, Court of Appeals Rules (Revised)
Alert: Absent a transcript, the evidence presumably supported the trial court's findings of fact, which in turn supported the judgment declaring the defendant's two automobiles and a sum of money forfeited to the State.
Subject Matter Index: Judgment for State in civil forfeiture case, affirmed; absent transcript, evidence presumably supported trial court's findings of fact, which in turn supported judgment declaring defendant's two automobiles and sum of money forfeited to State as having been used, or intended for use, to facilitate illegal drug trade operation or as having been found in close proximity to unlawful drug, cocaine; record did not support defendant's assertion that his property was forfeited by stipulation as record showed that hearing was held relative to defendant's claims, counsel represented defendant at that hearing, trial court considered all evidence and argument both parties presented, and thereafter trial court declared property forfeited as contraband; defendant's contention that trial court erred in proceeding with hearing on basis that his criminal case was still pending and he had not been convicted in the matter, rejected, since State pursued action sub judice as in rem civil forfeiture proceeding under O.C.G.A. 16-13-49, which does not require proof of conviction against property owner; defendant failed to support his due process claim based on his physical absence from hearing; defendant's pro se brief did not comply with certain appellate court rules as it contained no enumeration of error, no standard of review, no citations to record and it intermingled arguments on various issues.
Headnote: The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the State in a civil forfeiture case, holding that, absent a transcript, the evidence presumably supported the trial court's findings of fact, which in turn supported the judgment declaring Rudolph Orange's two automobiles and a sum of money forfeited to the State as having been used, or intended for use, to facilitate an illegal drug trade operation or as having been found in close proximity to the unlawful drug, cocaine. In so holding, the Court noted that the record did not support Orange's assertion that his property was forfeited by stipulation, as the record showed that a hearing was held relative to Orange's claims, counsel represented Orange at that hearing, the trial court considered all evidence and argument both parties presented, and thereafter the trial court declared the property forfeited as contraband. The Court also rejected Orange's contention that the trial court erred in proceeding with the hearing on the basis that his criminal case was still pending and that he had not been convicted in the matter, since the State pursued the action sub judice as an in rem civil forfeiture proceeding under O.C.G.A. 16-13-49, which does not require proof of a conviction against the property owner. Next, Orange failed to support his due process claim based on his physical absence from the hearing. Finally, the Court noted that Orange's pro se brief did not comply with certain appellate court rules as it contained no enumeration of error, no standard of review, no citations to the record and it intermingled arguments on the various issues.
Text: Phipps, Herbert E., Presiding JudgeIn this civil forfeiture case, Rudolph Orange appeals a judgment declaring two automobiles and a sum of money forfeited to the State of Georgia. Because Orange has demonstrated no reversible error, we affirm.
Citing OCGA § 16-13-49, the state filed a verified complaint for forfeiture, alleging that the Waycross Police Department had seized certain property as having been used, or intended for use, to facilitate an illegal drug trade operation or as having been found in close proximity to the unlawful drug cocaine. The complaint pertinently named as defendants in rem: (i) a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria automobile; (ii) a 1990 Cadillac Brougham automobile; and (iii) $308 in U. S. currency. The complaint named Orange as an owner of these items.
Represented by counsel before the trial court, Orange filed an answer, asserting ownership of those items listed above and seeking their return.
The trial court denied Orange's claim, detailing in its order that it had:
held a hearing on the matter . . . on all the issues of fact and law asserted by the State, represented by Chief Assistant District Attorney, [attorney's name], and Rudolph Orange, represented by Attorney at Law, [attorney's name]; THIS COURT having heard all evidence presented and argument of counsel, the Court makes the following ruling: In accordance with OCGA § 16-13-49, all property claimed by Rudolph Orange is declared to be contraband and is forfeited to the State.
The order further specified: "It is the order of this court that . . . One (1) 1998 Ford Crown Victoria . . .; One (1) 1990 Cadillac Brougham . . .; [and $308] in U. S. currency, the property herein named as Defendant in rem and all interests, rights, and proceeds thereto stands and is forfeited to the State."
1. As an initial matter, we note that Orange's brief does not comply with certain of this court's rules. It contains no enumeration of errors, no standard of review, and no citations to the record; further, his arguments on the various issues are intermingled.1
Our requirements as to the form of appellate briefs were created, not to provide an obstacle, but to aid parties in presenting their arguments in a manner most likely to be fully and efficiently comprehended by this [c]ourt. . . . [A] party will not be granted relief should we err in deciphering a brief which fails to adhere to the required form.2
While we observe that Orange is not represented by counsel on appeal, we reiterate that briefs such as the one filed by him "hinder this court in determining the substance and basis of an appellant's contentions both in fact and in law and may well prejudice an appellant's appeal regardless of the amount of leniency shown [to a pro se appellant]."3
Additionally, we note that in his notice of appeal, Orange did not request any transcript to be included in the record on appeal. "Our consideration of the contentions presented by [Orange]�who, as appellant, has the burden to affirmatively show error by the record�is affected by the meagerness of the record."4
"Nevertheless, we will address [Orange's] arguments, insofar as we are able to ascertain them from his brief."5
2. Orange contends that the trial court erred by proceeding with the hearing, asserting that "[his criminal case] is still pending and there has not been a conviction in this matter." Orange states: "I argue that by § 62C.01 criminal forfeiture�criminal forfeiture, (1) occurs only after a conviction, (2) after the defendant is convicted, he or she may also lose his or her interest in the property."
Pretermitting that his factual assertion lacks evidentiary support,6 we discern no merit in his legal argument. The record before us, though scant, confirms that the action sub judice was pursued by the state, then considered and ruled upon by the court, as an in rem civil forfeiture proceeding under OCGA § 16-13-49.7 Such proceedings do not require that a conviction against the property owner be proved as an element of civil forfeiture.8
3. Orange complains that his property was "forfeited by stipulation, when in fact, [he] has not made any stipulation, or any comment to the courts in writing, nor by proxy of his attorney."
Orange's assertion that his property was "forfeited by stipulation" is not supported by the record. According to the trial court's order, a hearing was held relative to Orange's claim to the automobiles and cash; Orange was represented by counsel at that hearing; the court considered all evidence and argument presented by both Orange's lawyer and the state's lawyer; and thereupon, the court declared the property forfeited as contraband. As stated above, Orange did not cause a transcript of the hearing to be included in the record on appeal.9 "Where, as here, there is no transcript of the evidence, we must conclude the evidence supported the trial court's findings of fact which in turn support the judgment."10 Consequently, Orange's complaint provides no basis for reversal.
4. Orange contends that the trial court erred by conducting the hearing outside his presence. He asserts in his brief that "[b]y no fault of [his], he was not allowed to be present at that hearing"; that he had "express[ed] to his attorney . . . that he indeed wanted to be present at the hearing to defend and reclaim his property"; that his lawyer knew that he was incarcerated in a particular detention facility, yet his lawyer "failed to have [him] transported to the court for the hearing." According to Orange, the trial court denied him "due process of law, which gives him . . . [the right] to be present to take the stand in [his] own defense."
"A fundamental requirement of due process in any proceeding is that litigants have notice and an opportunity to be heard, but due process does not guarantee a particular form or method of state procedure. Due process is flexible and calls for such procedural protections as the particular situation demands."11
Again, however, Orange has failed to cite any evidence supporting his underlying factual assertions�here, that his testimony was pertinent to whatever strategy (unrevealed to this court) that he and his lawyer were pursuing and that he had informed his lawyer that he wished to attend the hearing so as to take the stand (and thus be subjected to cross-examination); and we will not speculate thereon.12 Given the foregoing, we cannot conclude that Orange, who was represented by counsel at the civil hearing and whose evidence and argument were thus presented to and considered by the court in rendering its decision, was nevertheless deprived of due process for reason of his physical absence from the hearing.13 Orange has cited no authority with regard to this claim, and we have found none providing for an outcome in his favor.
Judgment affirmed. Ellington, C.J., and Dillard, J., concur.

WESTERN SAN JUANS – As wildfires rage uncontrollably across the state amidst extremely dry and hot conditions, and with the Fourth of July holiday just around the corner, agencies across the region are upgrading fire restrictions.
On Tuesday in Telluride, the Telluride Town Council passed an emergency ordinance effective immediately that not only imposes a ban on all open fires and fireworks but also restricts outdoor smoking to within the downtown area of Telluride. The emergency ordinance bans the use of charcoal fires and bans smoking of any combustible substance in Bear Creek, Town Park, the River Trail, the Valley Floor, and on Tomboy, Liberty Bell and Bear Creek Roads. The ordinance also states that at least one working fire extinguisher rated 2A10BC or higher must be present at all construction sites in Telluride.
In Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel counties, and on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and Colorado State Forest Service, fire restrictions will move to Stage 2 restrictions effective Thursday, June 28.
According to San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters, the upgraded restrictions are in place to reduce the risk of human-caused fires during a period of unusually high fire danger. Extreme winds, warm temperatures and the significant lack of rain have created an extremely hazardous environment.
And with numerous fires burning across the state, fire-suppression resources are a rare commodity.
In all three local counties, Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel, the following activities are banned.
• All campfires
• Open burning of any kind including the burning of trash or debris, charcoal grills, or outdoor wood grills.
• Fireworks or use of explosives. (Municipal firework displays have been cancelled in the Town of Telluride and the cities of Ouray and Montrose.)
• Smoking, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, and disposal of cigarette butts anywhere outdoors.
• Operating a chainsaw, except with a fire extinguisher and a shovel, kept within immediate reach.
• Fires in open pits or outdoor chimneys.
• Use of tracer or incendiary ammunition.
• Welding or use of torch with open flame, except in Ouray County, upon providing notice to the county sheriff.
• Operating or using any internal combustion engine without a spark arresting device that's properly installed, maintained and in effective working order.
• Possessing or using a motor vehicle or OHV off established roads (in San Miguel County), except when parking in an area devoid of vegetation within 10 feet of the roadway and except for parking overnight in developed campgrounds and trailheads.
• The use of a propane gas grill or other manufactured liquid fuel cookstove not prohibited as long as it has an "on-off" switch so that fuel can be turned off."
Campers and drivers are asked to limit travel to designated roads and trails as much as possible, to avoid igniting sparks on grass and brush.
"If you see one of your neighbors setting off fireworks, get in their face," Masters said. "That would help us out. That is our number one concern, next to lightning."

Telluride, Ouray and Montrose Say It's Too Dry for Fireworks
The Ouray County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the Ouray Volunteer Fire Department, announced the cancellation of Ouray's Fourth of July flare parade and municipal fireworks display.
"This was not a easy decision for any of us, but I think it is the right decision, considering what the rest of the state is going through," said Ouray County Sheriff Junior Mattivi.
Earlier this month Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper issued an executive order banning open burning throughout the state of Colorado, due to drought conditions. A Level 2 fire ban prohibits all open fires, campfires, charcoal grills, Tiki torches, and outdoor wood burning stoves, and unlike the Level 1 ban, applies to developed camping and picnic grounds, as well.
Extreme fire danger has led to the cancellation of municipal fireworks displays in Telluride and Montrose as well. "The reason is because there are very unsafe conditions out there," said Telluride Fire District Chief Jamey Schuler, following a meeting between the Fire District, San Miguel County Sheriff's Office and town law enforcement.
Along with San Miguel and Ouray counties, the Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, and Colorado State Forest Service are also imposing upgraded fire restrictions.
Sign Up to Get Emergency Information
The public must be ready to evacuate when officials give the word.
To begin preparing, sign up to receive text alerts on your phone or email (visit www.sanmiguelcounty.org to sign up), build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan (get info at Ready.gov). In addition, if you see something, say something. This applies to not only suspicious activity, but potential wildfires. Any signs of a fire, including brush or woods fires, should be reported immediately by calling 911. Grasses and brush are particularly vulnerable to rapid fire spread. Dispose of smoking materials properly.

Texas Ice Storm!
No, that's not a typo! It's cold and frozen here in Texas right now! There's a sheet of ice in the driveway and my doors are frozen shut. That being said, I had to run to town today, ended up just missing an accident in Dallas where someone hit a patch of ice on a bridge and spun out. Traffic was backed up for 5 miles!

There Is No TW Corporate Office of the President to Escalate Your Consumer Complaints

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS -- Time Warner misleads its customers in stating that the customer has a voice with the TW President's Office which was set-up with the purpose of receiving and handling complaints that could not be resolved by the local office.
I spoke w/ a customer care advocate (TW version of a manager) last evening who stated that not only are ALL customer complaints submitted to the Office of the President, but also ALL Better Business Bureau complaints, concerning his office are routed to him for resolution.
So where is the credibility and accountability if the complaints don't actually reach a higher authority within Time Warner for review and an audit for accountability of their staff's conduct with the potential of resolving your service issue, especially if those issues are a result of the poor ineffective service received by the very same staff members who are allowed to answer the vary same complaint they created?
Where is Time Warner's honesty and integrity?
Time Warner has no credibility behind their statement that Customer Service is their highest priority as they have set-up a system that misleads the consumer.
For more information detailing our 8 phone calls to TW Customer Care, please find my next posting. This was so appalling, that it deserved it's own headline.

I know that all customers who are having a problem with a company believe that they have a right to speak with the actual president of a company. That's just not realistic. The senior executive of the organization has a tremendous number of responsibilities, and their time is generally very limited. That's why companies, such as TW, have an established escalation path for customer issues. Sorry if folks don't think that's "customer friendly," but it's exceptionally realistic in today's world.

The CSR stated that they are routed to The Office of the President not the President's office. I would take that to mean that someone in the President's office reviews the issues and escalates to him/her if warranted.

MsCantBeWrong, thank you getting the point. That is the point that any such structure that promises consumers a path to the executive level ought to be set-up completely segregated in duties so as to review and audit the quality of service their reps at the local level are providing. It would be in their best interest to QC their staffs conduct just to help protect themselves from avoidable class action litigation.
In my situation, TWC couldn't process a simple transfer of service on our good standing account for they violated their own procedures in allowing the next residents of then rental to set-up an account, thereby freezing both accounts. The local rep didn't know what the procedure was to correct their admitted error. They promised to call back, but didn't. We called them six more times over the course of five days just trying to get our new place set-up. it finally came to them offering to come out between 6-10 pm on the same day they collected an additional $120 fee, which they did take out of our account immediately. And they didn't show up even after we called to double check the status of this appt.
And the Customer Service Center locally... un-apologetic! They wanted to set-up yet another appt after we took the day off to meet with them. So, we took our business to AT& T. And now I learned they slapped us with an $80 early termination fee.
What early termination fee I asked. They replied we SIGNED a contract. Well, show us. I don't recall ever signing a single document from TWC, much less one that tied me into a 2 year contract, especially on a rental we only planned on being in for one year.
In addition, on the back of every invoice we ever received, it provides directions for canceling... and there is no mention of any applicable early termination fees per applicable contracts. Their website states they are not offering contracts. But when presented this evidence, the local Reps say they can't do anything.
So we asked to be escalated, and they outright refused to fill this request. So where does that leave the consumer, but to try to circumvent the local store. There has to be someone at TWC that holds their staff accountable or who can send me a copy of my "signed" contract.

Time Warner Customer Service Is The Worst... Here's What You Can Do...
Posted by Traci N on 04/08/2009
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA -- I just endured a 2 week long battle with TW Cable regarding a billing issue. Basically, they wanted me to pay cash only, in person for 6 months, for some unknown reason (my account was up to date, no late payments EVER). First, nobody could explain this billing blunder to me. Then I was told I could pay over the phone with a credit card (for an additional $3.00), only to be told 3 phone calls later that I did not have this option and I would have to show up in person with cold hard cash.
Customer Service Reps. refused to put a supervisor on the phone. They also refused to give me an address/phone number to a regional corporate office. I ended up filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which resulted in someone from the office of the president calling me within one or two days. The person that contacted me resolved the billing issue in about 3 minutes (something the customer service reps. couldn't do in 2 weeks time).
Had I not filed a complaint with the BBB, I am confident I would still be calling the service reps daily, arguing with them, and getting absolutely no resolution to the problem. The complaint is easily filed online, and you should get a response fairly quickly. Hope this helps anyone dealing with TW Cable, which certainly has the worst customer service I've ever experienced with a utility.

Time Warner Cable's Local Franchising Authority
Posted by Gonendunit on 09/03/2008
CENTRAL, TEXAS -- Recently, I tried repeatedly to get Time Warner Cable of Central Texas to tell me the name of their local franchising authority. This is to where complaints about Time Warner Cable need to be directed. Over and over, Time Warner either refused to tell me or fed me false information. As a result, I wrote to the State Representative from Austin, Texas for help. Here is his response:
Flag this message RE: Time Warner Cable/Local Franchising Authority Wednesday, September 3, 2008 2:09 PM
From: "District49 Naishtat" Add sender to Contacts To: firstname.lastname@example.com Mr. Briggs,
Thank you for your email. In answer to your question, the franchising authority depends on whether the city is under a local franchise or is on the state application. Temple went on the Time Warner Cable state-issued certificate of franchising authority application in 2006 so the franchising authority is now the Public Utility Commission. I hope this is helpful to you.
Asst. to Rep. Naishtat
I received this email moments after Time Warner had falsely told me that it was the City of Austin. Considering the quality of their service and total lack of customer support, I can certainly understand why Time Warner keeps this information a closely guarded secret. They will do whatever it takes to keep customers from filing complaints.
After reading page after page of complaints on this site about Time Warner, I noticed a great number were from customers in this part of Texas and this information is directed to them.
Again... the local franchising authority for Time Warner Cable in central Texas is the TEXAS PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
Let your voices be heard. I sure did.

Time Warner Cable: The Identity Thieves
Posted by Paperjane on 03/03/2011
OHIO -- Hello,
My name is Lydia and I have a serious consumer message to pass on regarding a very well known and trusted company. Time Warner Cable.
On the first of the month my fiancée and I moved from an apartment to a rental home in a neighboring town. We contacted Time Warner several days in advance to make sure our service would be transferred to our new home without interruption, we rely on the service because my fiancée is currently a college student and needs internet access.
This Monday the installers came to the new place and hooked up the service with no problems. The next day we called Time Warner to make sure the service at our previous address was disconnected so we wouldn't end up with two bills.
Here is the problem:
When we called they informed us that the installers did not transfer our account to the new house, but rather opened a new account and now we had two running.
Here is where it gets really bad:
They say we not only have those two accounts.. but also an account from 2005-2006 that has an outstanding balance, and that it is from when we lived here (our new home) in 2005-2006.
For the record, and we also have proof, we have NEVER lived at this address in the past. In fact, we have never had Time Warner until last summer, at our previous address.
We are like most other people, we have had late payments with the company over the past 5-6 months that we have been customers.. and never once was this 2005-2006 outstanding balance mentioned.
Time Warner records show my fiancées social security number on the questionable account, along with MY cell phone number.. which I did not have in 2005 or 2006. I did not even know him during those years. I wasn't even living in the state of Ohio at that time and he wasn't living at this address.
I feel like something is messed up in their computers because this issue didn't surface until this week.
I really don't know what happened but now they are expecting us to pay this balance that isn't ours and I really wonder how safe ANYONE's information is with Time Warner because I am witnessing his personal information get tacked onto accounts that are not his.
They are now saying that we have to jump through several hoops just to prove that we are not lying, and they are suggesting identity theft.. well I don't know about you but that is one hell of a coincidence... that someone that lived in this apartment 5 years ago happened to steal his identity and we just happened to move to this place now and conveniently the bill that we have never seen in our lives resurfaces...
We have called a few times in the past two days, and have even been denied the chance to speak to a supervisor on several occasions.

That sounds confusing. You're saying you did live there, then you're saying you didn't. Which is it? It sounds like too much of a coincidence to be identity theft. It sounds like you either don't remember having an account that you did in fact have, or your fiance or someone close to him used the info to open an account. Maybe he's hiding something from you?
Posted by Grandma on 2012-06-18:
I totally understand what you meant. You did NOT live in the new place until NOW. I believe someone who lived in the new place back in 2005-2006 had cable. When they moved, they didn't pay their bill. When TW moved your current service from the place you just moved FROM to the place you live in NOW, they somehow merged the account that the previous renter didn't pay, to your current bill.(Now I sound confusing dont I? LOL). But I do know what ya mean...

Stealing Money and Billing Twice a Month
Posted by Mindyinhb on 08/17/2010
WESTMINSTER, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a customer of TWC's for over 14 years. I have even walked into their office and paid them cash even when I was on Unemployment. For the last four m onths they have cliamed that with every balance that I pay, I still owe them more money - even though the amount that has been paid to them is straight off of my statement. Then in May of this year, they start calling my cell phone 2 and 3 times a day. When I call them back, I get a call center that isn't even in the state that I live in and this representative has no idea why they are calling me and leaving me messages! It only took me approx. 20 minutes to get through to a representative that could tell me wth they wanted. Apparently there was 15 dollars of an paid balance that they were calling me over and threatened to turn my service off if the entire balance wasn't paid immediately. So here we are in August and we are playing the same guessing game all over again. The representative tells me this time that the balance was never paid in full! So are you telling me that the last customer service representative didn't give me the correct balance????? Whose fault is that????? So as of today if this balance is paid in full, which I have committed to AGAIN, my account will be brought up to date. Of course, they have no notes in their system about the prior conversation and that I took care of the balance from our last go 'round. Is that not convenient! THEY ARE THE WORST CABLE COMPANY THAT EXISTS AND THE ONLY REASON I HAVE THEM IS THAT THE APARTMENT COMPPLEX THAT I LIVE IN DOESN'T ALLOW US TO HAVE ANY OTHER CARRIER. As soon as I move, Time Warner is the absolute last cable company I will ever use again! They are the worst company there is and rip off their customers on a regular basis. Not only that, now they are threatening to take the ABC stations - which includes ESPN's away from us. Guess what, they will 'renew' the contract and pass the difference along to the consumer! That's what company's that have no ethics do and they laugh all the way to the bank!

Time warner cheats
Posted by Timewarner really sucks on 04/17/2010
I was told when I signed up for Time Warner that the contract was for one year. Today when I called to cancel by services, I was told that this contract did some "magical" turn over in Sept of every year and that my contract automatically went from a year contract to now being a 15 month contract. This was not explained to me at all! Time Warner sucks

Old Digital Boxes
Posted by TattleTail12 on 06/29/2009
CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA -- I've had to take four digital boxes back to TW in the last two months. The first box I returned could not receive a signal after TW tried to send me one through their lines so I was asked to take the box down to their facility near Fox Hills.
When I exchanged the box, I asked the Service Rep if I could have a new box and she informed me that there were no new boxes and that all of the boxes were refurbished. I took the second box home. The box was wrapped in plastic and when we removed that, we noticed immediately that there were scratches over the top of the box. My husband hooked the box up properly. The box didn't work.
I took the second box back to TW and was given another box. The second box lasted about 2 months and we lost our service an hour before the TW service center closed on a Thursday evening. I returned the third box and by 3:00 PM Friday, the box went out. We went through the rebooting procedure and even called the company for a signal. The box could not receive the signal from TW.
Time Warner sent a really nice Cable Repairman on Saturday to check the newest box. He performed diagnostic testing and the box received the signal. He also informed us that there are no new boxes unless a customer has HD TV which we don't have, He even informed us that the boxes available for their use were all repaired boxes. He stated that all of the service repairmen were frustrated by this as it makes them look bad. When he left our home, our cable was up and running and we were satisfied with the good people that work for the Time Warner family.
On Sunday, about 3:00 PM, the fourth cable box went out. I called TW and was told to reboot and wait 20 minutes for it to reset itself. It didn't reset so I called TW again and was told to do the same thing and wait five minutes. I even asked the phone representative to stay on the phone with me but he wouldn't as he was busy with other calls and of course, the box never reset.
When I called back TW, I spoke with a very nice Rep who understood our frustration and who tried her best to let me know that she was there to help me. But in the end, all she could do was ask her Supervisor to get us another home service call which will be on Tueday. TW promised to send out a Supervisor to see why we keep having this problem. We aleady presume that this Supervisor will temporarily correct the problem and that eventually, the FIFTH box will not last long.
I've been a Consumer of cable TV for 22 years. I must say that some of the people who work for Time Warner do the best that they can do with the equipment that they have available for their customers. I do however, believe that Time Warner is not fulfilling their contract by sending out faulty and refrubished equipment that doesn't work properly. Service is constantly interrupted by this deceit and incompetence by whomever repairs the boxes. Although TW is willing to give you a small credit for your discontinued service, they apparently are not willing to have more digital or cable boxes manufactured and service guaranteed for their Customers.
My family and I are discussing other options for TV at this time and if Time Warner doesn't do something for their PAYING customers, they'll lose us after 22 years of cable service.

Deceitful Practices & Non-Disclosure of Regular Channels Removed
Posted by SCIFgirl on 10/31/2012
PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA -- ***Aha! I could almost cry with utter joy! We finally dropped TWC and went with DirectTV. Wow! I had no idea that this was what television was REALLY about! I feel like sending a great big "Thank You" card to TWC Corporate because thanks to their lousy treatment and horrible customer service, we have been brought out of the 'Dark Ages' and introduced to the "Genie" (included with service not EXTRA as TWC charges for every single thing) and literally hundreds of included channels in our package. I asked the VERY polite and efficient, knowledgeable installer how business is for DirectTV, and asked if there was any people such as ourselves switching from TWC. He said they are very busy with newly subscribed installs and to that I smiled and laughed...I said I'd bet the people dumping TWC might be likened to great numbers of lemmings jumping en mass from the cliffs! Thank YOU TWC for causing me to shop around...I would have never known what a great service DirectTV is or about the fantastic options and myriad channels without your lousy service! Oh and the picture is so vivid on our new flatscreens, too. Bye Bye TWC. Hope you figure it out before you end up out of business!
Within this past year we decided to cancel the HBO & Showtime premium channels. We were asked if we wanted anything added and we said yes to a particular sports channel. Like the flip of a switch, instantly the premiums disappeared, literally. HOWEVER, quite a number of 'regular' channels also disappeared that we indeed did want and were used to enjoying regularly. BIO, ID, H2,Hallmark, Science, and a few others were suddenly GONE! When we called to inquire about the missing channels we were told that those were under an "old" plan that we got when we signed up 10 years ago. We were told that we could easily get them back but that we would have to pay $8 EACH for them!!! The CSR who handled our premium cancellation call did not disclose the fact that we would be losing all of those channels and I was fit to be tied I was so angry. This is deceitful business practice and I utterly detest TWC for this. One other thing, after seeing commercials "clipped" with such a redundant pattern of regularity (a solid 2 years +) I decided to file a complaint against TWC with the FCC and FTC about the ads not being played but TWCs never being omitted. While those agencies didn't contact me about my complaint I will tell you that it must have gotten the proper and immediate attention of their investigators. It was almost an overnight improvement of 100% because EVERY advertiser was suddenly getting the ad played in its entirety. Finally, the businesses were going to actually get what they were paying big bucks for. Whether or not I can be credited for that bit of justice, no one can say. I was pretty struck by the fact that this hadn't been brought to light in those couple of years; it was done methodically, the ad-cutting. In that complaint I mentioned that I, myself, did not have ads running for my own business, but that if I had I would have been on the path to a lawsuit for TWC's bad faith and breach of contract, to start. TWC willfully omitted ads to obviously insert more ads for themselves. The minute I start to see that occurring again I plan to file another complaint with each agency. We can't get the Verizon internet here, and we HAVE TRIED (signal too weak) but if we could we would assuredly dump TWC in an instant. TWC keeps adding more Spanish and other foreign language, and sports channels, which is another sore point with us. WHY can't folks order what they want to pay for? We have absolutely NO USE for most of the crap they peddle in channel line-ups. We know we are paying way too much for a fraction of a product where cable t.v. is concerned. The internet "Roadrunner" service is awful, too. The mailbox is tiny, the problems are many...but the connection is good using a different browser. My husband insists on relying on that terrible email of TWC's and I think he is just too old to make a change to a simpler service like Yahoo or Google, etc. Internet service is definitely not their forte. We wouldn't dare to ever allow them to "bundle" or bungle up a phone service after what we have been through.

Poor service
Posted by Barbie 3102001 on 10/09/2012
MCKINNEY, TEXAS -- I had a horrible time getting correct installation date. I had to change date and called in but they could not even find order in McKinney tx I had a confirmation number but still had to redo order. I set up installation and two guys came out and set up cable TV. After they left I tried to turn off TV with remote. It made a horrible sound. I called back to technician and he told me to turn off TV manually I touched box and it made a loud sound and the tech heard it over phone and told me not to touch anything someone was coming out to change box. the next day white spots started showing up a few each day until my TV was not viewing I called time earner and they sent a representative out to check my TV and said he would pull the first cable box in warehouse that was first installed. I got a registered letter from this man and he said cable box was ok and time Warner would not be responsible for my destroyed TV.

Horrible service
Posted by Vickishoppe2003 on 04/12/2012
The worst most undependale service I have ever seen. I canceled March 23 rd and they said would pick up equipment since I couldn't get to car
I have called them every few days. Keep getting cut off. Got 2 bills today. One for a month I wasn't using it and another for that amount plus equipment. I won't give them a dime.

Very typical of that company. They will get you for the last dime they can. It's not personal, it's just numbers to the drones.
Posted by Fiddle T D on 2012-04-13:
you're only hurting your own credit score by refusing payment. either take the "equipment" in on your own and ask for a supervisor to settle the dispute or do it over the phone.

I'm a big Craigslist fan too, though I still remember the days when a lot more people were wary of interacting with strangers online. But now that Craigslist has been around for a good while and so many of us have had good experiences, I think we're more willing to try sites where connections are made first online. One site I would add to the list: Tripping.com. It's the travel site where you can find local hosts a la CouchSurfing or rent all or part of a home a la Airbnb.

RICHMOND, Va. - James Madison redshirt-senior linebacker Stephon Robertson was named as the Dudley Award winner Wednesday night, edging Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke for a trophy given to the best Division I football player in Virginia. Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas, a senior, finished third. The award was presented by The Touchdown Club of Richmond and the Richmond Times-Dispatch at a banquet Wednesday night.
The two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-CAA selection, Robertson finished his senior season with 141 total tackles, including 52 solos, 17.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and five pass breakups, leading the league in total tackles and tackles for loss. One of the top candidates for the Buck Buchanan Award after finishing second among underclassmen and eighth overall in last year's ballot, Robertson currently is third in the FCS with 11.8 tackles per game and 17th in tackles for loss (1.4 per game). A three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Week this season, Robertson recorded a league season-high 5.0 tackles for loss at William and Mary and had double-digit stops in nine of 12 games played while leading the Dukes in tackling in eight of them. Before the season he was named a Sports Network First Team Preseason All-American in 2013 and the 2013 Preseason CAA Defensive Player of the Year.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison baseball and softball hit the playing fields for a different purpose on Monday, setting aside time to play with first graders from Waterman elementary school at Veterans Memorial Park.
This is the third consecutive year that the first grade classes have come to play. The student-athletes teach them the basics and share their experiences with the game.
"This is about the same age that I fell in love with the sport. It is so special to have the chance to inspire these kids," said Heather Kiefer, a sophomore on JMU softball.
About 95 first grade students were in attendance this year. Mr. Swartz, a teacher at Waterman, thought of the idea while teaching a former baseball coach's son.
"JMU is part of the community that we talk about a lot but some kids never get to see it in person. Today shows them to keep working hard and they can make it to college one day too," said Swartz.
The students rotated through stations with both teams learning different aspects of the game. The most important lesson for all involved was to have fun.
"The best part of today is the chance to give back. There are no wins or loses, just fun. The kids are doing things they may have never done before while getting cheered on by their peers. It really is a great thing to see," said Ted White, assistant coach for JMU baseball.
"It is important to be involved with the community and for them to be involved with us. These kids have a ton of energy and it's great to see," added Mickey Dean, head coach for JMU softball.
"It reminds us that we are more than just baseball players. We get to make a kids day and have fun too," commented Matt Tenaglia, a redshirt junior for JMU baseball.
