Lake Superior Community Partnership: Then and Now
In the early 1980's, community leaders came together to assist in solving serious issues affecting the County's mining industry and threatening to impact thousands of jobs. They named their group the Lake Superior Jobs Coalition. Once the crisis was averted, the group became fairly inactive.
In wasn't until 1995 that the Jobs Coalition was again called to action, the reason…the possible closure of K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base located in Marquette County. Although the attempt to save the base was unsuccessful, it was through this collaboration that the group realized it needed to continue working together to move Marquette County past the closure and toward redevelopment. Working with the County, the move of the County Airport to Sawyer was first on the list.
By 1997, the Jobs Coalition had formally organized, solicited leaders from throughout the County and changed its name to the Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP). Community leaders representing labor, industry, business, religion, education, non-profits, media and government formed what has become the Partnership's organizing Board of Directors.
The Partnership is built on the belief that efforts to improve our quality of life should be:
- Truly regional in nature; recognizing that we can accomplish far more together and that our competition is truly global.
- Build around true private-public partnership; recognizing that too often in the past we have not shared responsibility for the progress of our community.
- Focused on community development; recognizing that enduring economic benefit can spring only from a well of true community development and improvement.
Using these as building blocks, the Partnership envisions a growing, diversified and sustainable regional economy. This economic health will stem from the investment we make in our children and youth and the growing economic opportunity that we provide for our businesses and citizens. Marquette County and the region will be a rewarding place to work, raise a family and enjoy the unique environment and beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Funding for the Partnership comes from both the private and public sectors with the non-profit organization being run similarly to a private business rather than a municipality. The ongoing partnership between the LSCP and the Marquette County EDC is critical to development efforts and the 1999 merger with the Ishpeming-Negaunee Area Chamber of Commerce boosted membership to just under 1,000 members.
Marquette County is in a unique position. We are part of a state that is reeling under the weight of a changing economy, yet our economy has performed well. Marquette County's median household income has risen comparatively to the rest of Michigan. We've seen our population grow, while neighborhoods in countries throughout the state have dwindled. Marquette County's economy has become more resilient and diverse, with new innovative enterprises that have developed and thrived. In a state that faces great adversity, Marquette County continues to stand tall.
It is, however, more important than ever for Marquette County to rise to the challenges of tomorrow. Our local governments, schools, and non-profit institutions must continue to excel in order to preserve and build upon our exceptio
nal quality of life. The growth of our tax base relies on our ability to effectively create jobs that retain our citizens, as well as bring in new residents. Marquette County's economy needs highly skilled people; therefore, we must be competitive in attracting professionals (doctors, professors, engineers, and scientists) who have many options when choosing an area to live.
The Lake Superior Community Partnership recognizes that county wide collaboration is a necessity for our continued success. Sharing services in order to achieve greater scale and efficiency is essential. Improving communications among members and partners is crucial. Continuing to promote and connect local goods and services to the local, regional, national, and global markets is vital.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian NOT Spending $100,000 On Couples Therapy
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are NOT spending $100,000 a month on couples therapy, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can debunk the story. As it turns out, the couple isn't doing joint counseling at all.
But the story wrongly claiming otherwise can be found in this week's OK!. "Kim & Kanye's Sky-High Therapy Bills," reads the headline, with it being said, "It's not surprise to hear that the Kardashian-West family has been spending a bundle on mental health care. But the exact amount is staggering." Citing a "source," the magazine alleges "they're blowing through 'well over $100,000 a month.'"
That total is supposedly for "twice-daily sessions of talk therapy, as well as an on-call, 24-hour-a-day shrink." The outlet's snitch claims, "Kim isn't taking any chances. She wants for herself and Kanye to make a full recovery, and she doesn't bat an eye at someone who charges thousands of dollars per session." The tipster adds that Kardashian will "spend any amount to get better."
Gossip Cop has no doubt that the reality star is committed to improving her well-being as well as that of her husband, but these details aren't accurate. West and Kardashian, though still united in marriage, are not doing therapy together. Any counseling they've sought has been on an individual, separate basis. And, we're told, the dollar amount thrown out by the tabloid is off base.
Of course, this is all coming from the same outlet that ridiculously, and falsely, alleged the Paris robbery was a hoax because of supposed inconsistencies in Kardashian's story. The real problem, though, isn't with the star. It's with OK!'s dreadful "reporting."

Barthes: A Very Short Introduction Paperback
by Jonathan (Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Cornell University) Culler
Part of the Very Short Introductions series
This acclaimed short study, originally published in 1983, and now thoroughly updated, elucidates the varied theoretical contributions of Roland Barthes (1915-80), the 'incomparable enlivener of the literary mind' whose lifelong fascination was with the way people make their world intelligible.
He has a multi-faceted claim to fame: to some he is the structuralist who outlined a 'science of literature', and the most prominent promoter of semiology; to others he stands not for science but pleasure, espousing a theory of literature which gives the reader a creative role.
This book describes the many projects, which Barthes explored and which helped to change the way we think about a range of cultural phenomena - from literature, fashion, wrestling, and advertising to notions of the self, of history, and of nature.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Review by stillatim
Culler's introduction to Barthes is better than Barthes' actual ideas; the older Roland got the more nonsensical and silly his ideas got... and then he got hit by a laundry truck, one of the silliest deaths in intellectual history. Culler's analysis is sympathetic but also critical. It might be a good idea for most intellectuals to read this, because his criticism of Barthes' late infatuation with 'the body' is relevant to so many of them/us: why bother going through ideology critique, why bother revealing the way that we all treat out beliefs about the world as natural facts about the world, if you're just going to base your thought on a quasi-natural concept like the body? Nice for you that you can hold onto that liberal-conservative world-view and justify it by such a 'radical' epistemology; not so nice for those who don't benefit from that liberal-conservative world-view.

This isn't a substitute for reading Barthes, but it did a good job of encouraging me to read Mythologies and S/Z. Not much more you could ask for from a meta-literary-critic.
Review by shanaqui
I am, I confess, not very good with literary theory. It seems strange that an MA in English Lit can assert that, or maybe I just knew a lot of literary theorists, but it's the case. Still, now I'm TAing for the SF/F course on Coursera, I find myself debating literary theory and understanding it more through trying to explain it, and being more interested in it as well. So I've started with Barthes -- 'The Death of the Author', at least, I've always understood reasonably well -- and I've got the short introduction to Derrida as well.Culler's introduction works reasonably well as a quick tour of Barthes' life, opinions, relevance, and even some of his sillier points and ideas. And it makes me want to cast my net a bit wider and pull in some Sartre too. Still, I can't say that it entirely converted me to literary theory -- even a summary of Barthes' ideas makes my head hurt a little at times.

Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2016 convenor RGNUL Patiala has already allotted dates for taking up candidates' question-paper error representations and to publish a revised answer key, in the CLAT 2016 calendar which was officially announced online.
Unlike the correctional ad-hoc "expert panel" of CLAT 2015, which RMLNLU Lucknow had formed two days after the declaration of the exam's results, RGNUL has reserved 13 May 2016 to 15 May 2016 for "Representation, if any, relating to exam, questions or key".
RGNUL has also undertaken to wrap up the correctional process within five days, having fixed 20 May as the "Date for uploading the amended answer key (if required)."
CLAT coach and mentor Rajneesh Singh first posted the update on Facebook, stating: "Great Move and fantastic start by CLAT Core committee 2016. Students can now raise objection towards any error in CLAT and it will be considered. Timelines already announced."
RGNUL will conduct CLAT 2016 on 8 May and has announced 31 March as the deadline to submit applications to appear in the exam.
Singh, who till now has been critical of the CLAT committee's conduct of the exam each year, also added in his Facebook post: "Thank a ton to the Honorable VC RGNUL Patiala. CLAT Continues to be the most transparent entrance test in India."
"Most of the exams hide the complete merit lists and the answer key. (And the errors are not disclosed) It has moved one step further this time. Now, Most likely there will not be any error in CLAT 2016. If any, a good student will be highly confident about getting justice before as well as after the exam," he posted.
After CLAT 2015, the repeated formation of ad-hoc expert committees by then convenor RMLNLU did not help many aggrieved candidates, since the candidates felt the committees had submitted incorrect reports. This led to several writs filed in various high courts. However national law universities steamrolled on with their admission process on the basis of the disputed results and the grievances eventually remained unaddressed.
CLAT aspirants will be very grateful if you can do a series of stories on the different NLUs and tell us about life there: placements, campus life, quality of faculty and their qualifications, standard of mess food etc. This will help us choose between NLUs based on what matters for us.
Thousands of students will be interested in such articles.
ok - about the post number 2.
Yes, i agree that the worst part of the CLAT 2016 paper was mindless copy-paste from top most google searches. It was highest degree of irresponsible conduct.
The person was probably well instructed by the expert committee to set a paper with higher difficulty level but he/she in order to follow it started copying from CAT papers without even solving it once. The errros were also copied and some of the questions were amazigly difficult.
But Judicial system is more to be blamed. (If not any person)
CLAT 2012 and 2015 cases against CLAT yielded nothing.
It encourages most of the crimes in India.
(Supreme court is yet to pass a judgement on Nirbhaya case - 3 years gone).
But i am an optimist.
I hope CLAT 2016 will improve of its own. Good start already done.
and I am sure NLUs producing much better talents will ameliorate the condition soon inside and outside the courts. This was also the main purpose of setting up National law schools.
But 25 LGK questions were very good. Prof/question setter had set brilliant, original and well balanced questions.

I always like to imagine what/where my high school senior clients will be five years from now…
during each of their sessions, I love to chat with each of them about what they're into now,
what they're hoping to accomplish in the next few years,
what lights them up in general…
and THIS girl?
I got a feelin' about this girl… 🙂
she works at a killer store that she is already learning the behind-the-scenes on how a fashion boutique runs,
she has an incredible sense of style and what is mainstream yet slightly ahead of mainstream…
and can we EVEN talk about her prom dress for this year…she went off the beaten path and found a dress designer off of etsy!
quite possibly the coolest embroidered/patchwork/lace dress I've seen to date!
she will go far in the fashion industry…I know it. 🙂
and where I think/hope she'll be in five years?
styling for me, of course…I'd hire her in a NANO-second! 🙂
mandy, it was an ABSOLUTE pleasure getting to meet and hang with you for the afternoon!
you AND you mom and bestie!
and erica, how cool it is to see a mom and daughter be so close…
even to the point of graduating college/high school at the same time…SO cool! 🙂

Active Rideshop
San Dimas
One of the most recognizable surf-skate-snow retailers in the Inland Empire, the desert area east of Los Angeles, is Active Rideshop. Standing six stores strong — matched with a booming mailorder business — Active continues to grow and attract more customers to its stores daily.
Active's half-dozen shops are peppered throughout Southern California, from its Escondido shop in the south, to its Rancho Cucamonga location in the east. The common denominator? Each store serves the growing inland surf-skate-snow market. [IMAGE 1]
Although the shop's are miles inland, there is still a strong presence from coastal, surf-oriented brands. Planet Earth, Stüssy, and Volcom each have major displays in Active's San Dimas location. At this new, 6,000-square-foot shop, Volcom is the strongest brand. But that's not necessarily the case at other Active shops.
"Each store is run like a single shop," Active's Shane Wallace told TransWorld SKATEboarding Business. "Each store has its own group of kids it sponsors, and each shop has its own identity, where some brands do better in certain shops and some do better in another." Wallace oversees the entire Active operation.
Besides Volcom, another hot department Active's San Dimas location also been its footwear section. Of course, that wouldn't surprise anyone who's ever set foot in the recently opened shop. The shoes are superbly displayed by brand on a fully branded back-lit wall. Above each group of shoes is a three-foot-sqaure translite logo that identifies each company.
According to Manager Brian Knoop, sales of Osiris' D3 and Globe's Chet Thomas and Rodney Mullen signature shoes, in particular, have been strong.
As if Active's six brick-and-mortar stores were not enough to keep Wallace and his 200 employees busy, in 1999 Active launched its mail-order component. In just two years, Active's catalog and Web site (activemailorder.com) programs have grown to make up 30 percent of the company's business.
"If everybody holds price when selling product online, it's healthy for kids to at least go look at product and see what's out there," says Wallace.

text: Simrad has been selected to supply radar and VHF communications equipment to 100 patrol boats currently in production for the Yemen Coast Guard. Delivery and installation of the CR44 radar and RD68 dVHF radios for the first 25 boats is underway. Installation will continue throughout the year with the final patrol boat completed by the end of 2004. The CR44 multi-function radar from Simrad's xx44/54 series of professional GPS ChartRadars, Chartplotters, ChartSounders and ChartRadarSounders has been chosen as the main navigation tool onboard. Including an easy to operate control panel with quick response keys for each function, the CR44 has been designed with user-friendly, yet advanced operation at its core. It features high-speed processors, for very fast updates and redraw times in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of the modern navigator, and especially useful on high-speed patrol boats. Simrad's RD68 dVHF radio with built in Class D DSC controller will provide the core means of communication for the coast guard patrol boats. The RD68 is a proven unit introduced to the market over two years ago. At the time it was one of the first systems to offer DSC functionality to the mass market. Since its introduction it has become one of the most popular DSC capable VHF radios due to its simple operation, reliability and ruggedised construction. Simrad's distributor in Dubai, Emphor (previously Maritronics), won the contract amongst stiff competition. Ajith Kumar of the sales department at Emphor commented, "Simrad offers some of the most reliable equipment at this level of operation, ideal for the tough work that patrol boats undertake. This contract is interesting as the vessels will utilise powerful new technology in the CR44 and also tried and tested technology in the RD68."

A Del Rey man who confessed to killing his childhood friend in a fight over $300 pleaded guilty to murder Friday in Fresno County Superior Court and was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.
Jesus Arevalo, 20, thanked defense attorney Antonio Alvarez when his punishment was announced.
"He has great sense of regret and has always been remorseful for his actions," Alvarez said.
A criminal complaint charged Arevalo and Angel Nunez, 20, with the shooting death of 19-year-old Renato Arevalo, whose burned body was found in the trunk of a vehicle south of Del Rey two years ago.
The Arevalos are not related.
Sheriff's officials said firefighters discovered the victim's body in the trunk of a vehicle near Adams and Del Rey avenues on July 24, 2012. Arevalo and Nunez were arrested the following month.
In April last year, Nunez pleaded guilty to arson and being an accessory after the killing. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dismissed the murder charge.
Nunez, who remains in the Fresno County Jail, faces as much as three years and eight months in prison when he is sentenced on Aug. 6.
If Arevalo had gone to trial, Nunez would have testified against him, Alvarez said. Prosecutors also had Arevalo's confession.
When the body was discovered, Arevalo initially denied being involved in the murder, and the detectives left without arresting him, Alvarez said. But days later, Arevalo called detectives and told them what had happened, he said.
"He took full responsibility because he has always felt bad for what he had done," Alvarez said.

Unequal employment opportunity.
They found a candidate with a perfect combination of qualifications: a good writer with knowledge and experience in telecom.
He had two insurmountable disadvantages, however. He was a white male, and the company was under pressure to hire people who were neither white nor male.
The interviewer confided that without him, "the company will suffer, the customers will suffer, and the stockholders will suffer." He added that the ideal employee would be a one-legged Hindu Eskimo lesbian, and apologized for not being able to hire him.
On the bottom of the employment application was a statement about the company being an "equal opportunity employer," and a list of agencies in Washington that rejected job candidates could contact if they felt they were discriminated against because of race, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Remember the Maine.
But after 108 years, you can forget the pain.
Most people think of luxury tax only when they play "Monopoly," and have to pay $75 to the banker.
Another less obvious luxury tax can decrease your assets every day.
In 1898 the USS Maine, an American battleship in Havana harbor, sunk after an explosion. The cause of the explosion was not determined, but it caused the US to go to war against Spain, which ruled Cuba.
The Spanish American War war lasted about six months, with fighting in the Pacific and the Caribbean. The war was costly in human lives and dollars.
There was no federal income tax back then, and phones were rare enough to be considered luxuries. The feds instituted a luxury tax on various items and services, including long distance calls, to pay for war expenses.
Finally last week, after 108 years, the US Treasury announced the end of the tax. The Justice Department will no longer sue for payment, and the IRS will issue limited tax refunds totaling an estimated $13 billion. Taxpayers can apply for refunds of the 3% tax paid during 2004, 2005 and 2006, when they file tax returns in 2007.
Since the tax has been bringing in about $6 billion per year, you can be sure that Washington will find another way to attack your wallet.

Paying for nothing.
Cablevision had a customer with 14 TV sets. Eight of them were connected to cable boxes which had monthly fees, and six of them were connected directly to the cable, and were not charged for.
Cablevision insisted that all TVs that were connected to its service -- even those producing no revenue -- had to be included in its records. They also had to appear on the monthly bills, even if nothing had to be paid.
The format for the monthly bill allowed just ten items, so Cablevision had to separate this customer's TVs into two accounts. Each month the company sent one bill that included the eight cable boxes, plus another bill -- with a different account number, different envelope and additional postage -- listing the six TVs that had no cable boxes and no monthly charges.
The second bill showed monthly charges of six times nothing, with a total due of zero dollars and zero cents.
After several months, Cablevision's computer noticed that no payments were received to pay the zero balance, and turned the account over to a collection agency.
The collection agency's computer then started to threaten the customer, detailing the dire consequences if the payment of zero dollars and zero cents was not made promptly. Phone calls to the agency and Cablevision were fruitless. The customer service people at both companies blamed the computers, and had no way to intervene.

Pay AT&T more, and get less.
Or pay AT&T less, and get more.
It included hundreds of products, ranging from inexpensive cords and adapters, to multi-thousand-dollar phone systems.
One stupid error appeared year after year. A four-wire phone jack ("RJ14C") was priced a dollar more than a six-wire jack ("RJ25C").
Anyone who needed a jack with just two or four wires, could order the six-wire jack, ignore the extra wires, and save a buck.

OOPS! Another author needs a fact checker.
He inexplicably ignores GTE (with roots going back to 1892), Stromberg-Carlson (1894), ITT (1897), Northern Telecom (founded in 1895 in Canada and operating a US factory since 1972), and Rolm (1969).
Jeff also misspells company names, and seems to confuse intercom systems with phone systems.
He's a writer/publisher who specializes in limited edition corporate ego books, with sleep-inducing titles like "The Legend of Litton Industries" and "The Spirit of AMD."
His website boasts of "meticulous research," and the book acknowledges "accurate and resourceful" research assistants.
These folks produced an error-filled book about phone system maker Inter-Tel. They'll sell you a copy for $39.95; or you can order it on Amazon.com for 41 cents.
The book is very frustrating because it has a lot of material that is interesting to its intended audience; but errors put its authority in doubt. If you find mistakes on the simple stuff, can you believe the complex stuff?

Is that CPE CPE, or is it CPE?
CPE used to mean Customer-Provided Equipment in the AT&T empire, or its opposite, Company-Provided Equipment, in the GTE empire.
Now it's just Customer Premises Equipment.

Important question
He said to the homeowner," I'm from Cablevision. Why am I here?"
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
Writers aren't perfect.
Publishers should try to be.
Online errors can be fixed quickly. Bloopers in books, magazines and movies can circulate for centuries, and get repeated and believed.
That's why publishers employ fact-checkers and editors; or at least why publishers SHOULD employ fact-checkers and editors.
I just started reading "Hacking the TiVo" by William von Hagen. It won't help you do anything illegal, but can help you improve your TiVo.
In a pretty good section on networking, von Hagen explains that the essence of Category 5 cable is "shielding that insulates the cable from outside electromagnetic influence and... not giving off poisonous smoke if the plastic exterior of the cable burns off." Both statements are wrong. Cable and wire "categories" relate to data transmission speed, not shielding or insulation.
Von Hagen has impressive credentials and is apparently an expert on computers and TiVo, but that doesn't make him an expert on wire. No one knows everything. Not even me.
On the second page of the book, the publisher acknowledges the possibility of errors, and denies responsibility. That's irresponsible. These errors could have been easily corrected before publication.
The author can be forgiven. The publisher can not.

But wait:
AT&T is even worse than we thought.
The new AT&T is just as dumb
as the old AT&T. Maybe even dumber.
The paperwork didn't indicate why they sent me the money. Maybe it should really have been $251.03, or $3,000,000; so I called the toll-free number printed on the check.
After entering my account number three times and swearing at the automated voice response robot four times, I finally reached Paul, who thanked me for calling "the new AT&T."
Paul checked the records, and told me that the three cents was a refund for an overpayment on a bill for the fax line I cancelled in February.
I didn't cancel our fax line or any line. The line Paul said I cancelled is used every day, and we pay AT&T for it every month. If I really did overpay, the three cents could have been applied to a bill.

Joseph Nacchio, the former CEO of Qwest, is awaiting trial on 42 counts of insider trading. Federal prosecutors say Nacchio and other former Qwest executives perpetrated financial fraud on investors. The company had to restate about $2.2 billion in revenue and pay a $250 million fraud fine. Prosecutors claim that Nacchio knew Qwest would miss its financial projections when he sold more than $100 million in Qwest stock.
Company retirees, who are fighting reduction in their benefits, said that rather than pursue restitution, the Qwest board gave Nacchio an extra $12.2 million in severance pay, a $3 million consulting contract, medical benefits for life and free long-distance service for 10 years.
Qwest started as a long-distance carrier in 1996, and in 1990 merged with U S West, holding company for former AT&T subsidiaries Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph, Northwestern Bell, and Pacific Northwest Bell.

Smart decision that seems stupid #53
At that time, French phones were as laughable as French cars, but the government and "France Telecom" were determined to change their unfortunate image.
Naturally, the office needed a phone system for the French folks to use while spreading the word.
They couldn't take a chance on phone failure, so instead of using one of the French systems they were trying to sell, they bought an ITT phone system, made in the USA.

Bad Decision #603
The partnered companies initially used the Philips brand name -- a very bad decision, because neither "Philips" nor "Lucent" means much on the shelves at Circuit City. After a few months, Lucent got permission to use the AT&T name.
Even with the good name, the joint venture was a bad idea. The Americans couldn't get along with the Dutch, and the deal was killed quickly.
In 1999, Lucent tried to sell its consumer phone business. There was nothing very special about its factories or product designs. Its biggest asset was the AT&T label, which it twice planned to give up, but could not live without. The Lucent/AT&T package was sold at a cut-rate price to VTech, an Asian maker of phones and electronic toys.

As a mother of 4 daughters, I can't tell you how many times I have been grateful for your company and the family friendly clothing you have provided especially for preteens and teens. Recently, however, I have been disappointed, not only in the thong and other suggestive underwear displayed in your OKC store -- which I might ad is right next to the children's wear -- but also in the underwear commercial which you have now been airing on the TV Land channel.
TV Land is our favorite channel because when we go there, we can be sure that what we view will be family friendly. Your latest commercial showing scantily clad models in suggestive poses is a source of great concern to me. You have a company that is solid and has always been there for the family. Please reconsider the direction you are taking with your advertising. Families need a friend that they can count on. I hope you'll prove to be the friend that you have always been.
Aren't Indians supposed to be smart?
To automate their theft, the bozos did a search-and-replace, substituting "India" for "United States." They forgot about the word "the," so the site has dumb phrases like "First info in the India."
The Hindustan site has bad grammar, bad typography, tacky animations, non-functioning links, non-functioning search, and bad spelling. They even spell their own company name incorrectly!
These folks need to do some out-sourcing. There are probably some smart American webmasters who need the work.

What the people really want.
A while ago, AT&T spent a lot of money to determine the most desired phone features.
The winners were not Caller ID, voicemail, speed dial, redial, conferencing, speakerphone, VoIP, long-life batteries, or any other high tech.

When should you believe Inter-Tel?
Inter-Tel is an old and usually-respected maker of business telephone systems.
The company has a large website, filled with downloadable pictures, demos, brochures, manuals, etc., for use by its dealers.
Links to the downloadable items are much higher up on their "sales center" page, than a tiny link at the bottom that leads to a copyright notice.
In fact, anyone can easily download and re-publish a considerable amount of material, without ever scrolling down to the last line on the page, and then clicking on the link that leads to another page that says that permission is needed to copy the material that was already copied.
At least one certified Inter-Tel dealer who followed the instructions on the top of the page has been threatened with expensive lawsuits and fines for copyright infringement.
Flunking Biology 101
Lots of companies that make and sell electronic products -- particularly cellphone headsets -- think that the connector on the end of the wire is a JACK.
It's not. It's a PLUG!
Despite it's male name, a jack is considered to be a "female" connector, and is usually part of a phone or other piece of equipment.
Connectors have genders. Plugs are male. Jacks are female.
If you don't understand this, gather a bunch of people of various genders, get naked, and look into a mirror.
Lots of electricians make a similar mistake, referring to an electrical outlet on a wall, as a "plug."
MNEMONIC DEVICE: "plug" and "penis" begin with the same letter and have the same gender.
TELECOM HISTORY: In its manuals and other technical literature, AT&T used "connector" instead of "jack." A common adapter with one plug and two jacks was (and often still is) called a "CPC adapter."

Shortly after Hurricane Katrina whacked New Orleans, FEMA ordered a bunch of emergency telecom equipment from a distributor.
Ten days later, FEMA placed another order for the same equipment from the same distributor.
It's not that they liked the stuff so much that they decided to get more.
They lost the first shipment.

Whom do you trust?
At a major consumer electronics trade show in the mid-1980s, Northern Telecom (now Nortel Networks) hosted a press conference to reveal the results of a big-buck market research study.
The company's researchers had detected a shift in consumer color preferences, and announced that they would stop making phones in the previously popular dark blue.
At the end of the press conference, reporters marched down the hallway to enter another room, for a press conference hosted by AT&T.
AT&T had also conducted a big-buck market research study, and gleefully announced that the hot telephone color for the coming year would be (drum roll, please) dark blue!

Lucent and the middlemen.
Lucent Technologies is a huge and inept AT&T spinoff that makes and tries to sell a wide range of telecom products. Lucent stock has seldom gone above five bucks a share recently, and has agreed to merge with (actually, get eaten by) French telecom giant Alcatel.
Lucent makes telephone wire. They sell it to wholesale distributors. The distributors sell it to dealers. One of those dealers, sells the Lucent wire back to Lucent.
The distributor makes money. The dealer makes money. UPS makes money. Lucent loses.
Will this stupidity continue after the "merger" with Alcatel? Of course it will.
Wanna get rich? Sell signs to AT&T.
In 2005, AT&T Wireless stores were either closed or converted into Cingular stores.
In 2006, Cingular stores are being converted into AT&T Wireless stores.
They can't use the signs that were taken down last year, because the new AT&T (which is really SBC, which bought AT&T), has a new uglier logo, so all of the stores need new signs.
In one New England city, Cingular is constructing a new store to replace one across the street. The new place is bigger and nicer, in a better location with more parking spaces. It's not open yet, but brand-new Cingular signs were recently hung on the exterior walls of the building. They'll go in the dumpster a few months after the new store opens.
There is probably more money being made selling signs to AT&T, than AT&T makes selling cellphones.

Wal-Mart sells fax machines,
but can't receive faxes.
A while ago, I returned something to a Wal-Mart store. I didn't have the sales receipt, so they said they would send me a refund check. After 30 days, I got nothing and called the store. The customer service lady said she couldn't find any record of my return. I offered to read the numbers off the return receipt, but she needed to see the numbers, not just hear them. Silly, but no big deal, I thought.
I then uttered one of the most common contemporary four-word phrases: "What's your fax number?"
I was shocked at the four-word reply: "We don't have one."
Wal-Mart is the world's retailing giant, a $300 billion-per-year behemoth that brags about its efficiency and technology, a success-story that sells zillions of pieces of merchandise each year, including fax machines... and they didn't have a fax machine for use by their own staff or customers.
And, NO, I can't send a fax to a demo machine in the electronics department. And, NO, I can't send it to the fax machine in the garden department. And, NO, I can't send it to the corporate-sibling Sam's Club in the same building.
This temple of technology, the world-beater company that sells everything to everyone, the biggest retail business in the universe, insisted that I MAIL them a copy of my receipt.
C'mon Wal-Mart. Get connected. I know where you can get a good deal on a fax machine. Take a look in aisle five.

Key points
- Africa's population is set to double by 2050. It is the world's youngest continent.
- In development terms, this could deliver a "demographic dividend". But major new investment is needed if it is not to become a "demographic trap".
- The EU's new External Investment Plan is expected to leverage €44 billion of investment in Africa by 2020.
- If resources are to be spent effectively, governments in Africa must be more accountable. Non-governmental organisations, civil society and young people have an important part to play in this, but they must have access to key data.
- Development and security are mutually reinforcing. If the problems of fragile countries and regions are not addressed urgently and sustainably, new security threats will arise.
How can the EU leverage development assistance to take advantage of Africa's "demographic dividend"?
By 2050, the population of Africa is set to double from its current figure of 1.25 billion (UN). It is already the world's youngest continent. By some estimates, there will be 20 times more young people in Africa than in Europe. This young and growing population offers real opportunities for development, but major new investment will be needed if Africa's "demographic dividend" is not to become a "demographic trap".
The anti-poverty campaigning group ONE insists that investment in Africa must double between now and 2050, while more measures are needed to stop illicit flows of wealth out of the continent. It says the risks of neglecting rapidly growing populations in fragile states have become too great to ignore. As ONE's co-founder Bono puts it, "Africa faces the three extremes: extreme poverty, extreme climate and extreme ideology." Instability and conflict in parts of the continent have been aggravated by the global economic downturn. In turn, this has exacerbated the migration crisis. Partnerships are needed to support inclusive and sustainable growth, create jobs and address some of the root causes of migration.
The EU's new External Investment Plan (EIP) is an important tool to leverage investment in Africa. Its "blending" mechanism draws on the EU's experience of leveraging regional investment. Since "blending" began in 2007, €3.4 billion in EU grants have leveraged €26 billion in loans, with a total investment volume in partner countries of some €57 billion. The new EIP is expected to leverage investment in Africa worth over €44 billion by 2020. The plan also provides guarantees against investment risks, as well as technical assistance to develop financially attractive, mature projects and improve the business environment. It aims to boost investment in fragile areas and countries, as well as in micro-enterprises. "Additionality" is a key factor: the EIP will in addition to official development assistance (ODA), not a substitute for it.
Of course, it is vital to ensure that money channelled into countries is properly spent. Panellists agreed on the important role of non-governmental organisations and civil society in holding governments to account. Young people must play their part here: it is their future and they want to be partners in development. They need to ensure that resources go to the real priorities: education, health and reproductive rights.
Development and security are mutually reinforcing. The UN's Sustainable Development Goal 16 makes that clear: it aims to "promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels". Meeting this goal will require integrated thinking, addressing both immediate needs and sustainability.

Regional income inequality and happiness: Evidence from Japan
We investigated how regional income inequality is associated with the individual assessment of happiness based on micro data from nationwide surveys in Japan. Our multilevel analysis using logit and ordered logit models confirmed that individuals who live in areas of high inequality tend to report themselves as less happy, even after controlling for various individual and regional factors. Notably, the fact that happiness depends on not only income but also income inequality indicates the importance of income redistribution for individual well-being. We also find that the association between regional inequality and happiness is not uniform across the different levels of perceived happiness. Moreover, the sensitivities of happiness to regional inequality differ substantially by key individual attributes such as gender, marital status, level of education, occupational status, and political views. Among others, an important finding for social policy is that those of unstable occupational status and those with a lower level of education are more sensitive to regional inequality. Given the fact that these people tend to be less happy than the others, this result points to the risk that regional inequality additionally reduces the well-being of those under unfavorable socioeconomic conditions.

Jeff Bezos uses three simple questions to keep the bar raised for new hires who outperformed their predecessors. This creates a basic hiring matrix all hiring managers use to get new blood in with every new entry level job candidate. In this way, the company is proactive against getting too rigid as it grows bigger, and instead opts for more and more expansion. You can use the same approach to find star power for your business as well.
How to Find Top Performers
A fresh job graduate may end up revolutionizing your business, but when they first interview they may not have the skills that impress you to hire them immediately. So, how do you get insight into potential new hires when you're doing campus outreach? Ask yourself the same questions Jeff Bezos does.
1. Can You Admire Them?
If you find yourself admiring some aspect of a new hire, then that emotional impact may be a clear signal that there's something more there. Dig a little deeper with the next two questions you can ask yourself.
2. Will Their Presence Raise a Group's Effectiveness in Some Way?
Is there some way a group can perform better with this person in it? Is it a skill or characteristic your company lacks? Consider that there is strength in variety.
3. What Strengths Make This Person a Superstar?
This last question doesn't just focus on job skills. It can be any facet of a person's life where they are truly a superstar, even if that is merely being able to whistle the tune of a 3-part opera on command. You never know what makes a person truly stand out from the crowd, so find out during the interview.
The idea is to spot talent before your competition does, especially with new grad jobs that offer a starting opportunity for these unrecognized geniuses. Register with FirstJob.com to get a look at future job leaders as they're just starting out.

Hennessy Buick GMC is a Buick and GMC dealership located in Morrow. Hennessy Buick GMC carries new Buick and GMC vehicles, as well as used cars and trucks, GM parts and service.
Purchased an older used car. Car seemed to be in good condition. I asked if the car needed any service done to it - I was told no, the car is in good shape under the hood. Took the car to my mechanic the next day and found the car is in need of a tune up, brake system and a part for the front wheels. They have their own mechanics on site - I wonder if they knew of the issues with the car?? I will not make any future purchases with this company.

Bought a used car at Hennessy for a decent price on 06/24/09. Customer service was ok and no hassel sales until time to buy their extended 'Vehicle One' warranty. Dave Stephens the finance director highly suggested the extended service warranty --- the cost was $2350.00. The 'Service Engine Soon' light came on and I took the vehicle in for service this week expecting a $50 deductible. The service guy Kenneth Tennison advised me that the repair was not a covered item on my warranty. I was shocked because I was under the impression from the finance director that everything would be covered except wear and tear items. The cost of the repair was $565.02!!! Look elsewhere for a warranty --ie AAA has a much better extended warranty.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Here's an early look at my review of the Dallas Theater Center's new musical:
Fly by Night is the most paradoxical of musicals – hilarious and bittersweet, deeply immersed in tradition but utterly original.
TheDallasTheaterCenteropened the newest version of the show, bound forNew Yorka year from now, on Friday. Will Connolly, Michael Mitnick and Kim Rosenstock have been writing it since they were students together at the Yale School of Drama. After four years, it feels ready for the big time.
Like The Fantasticks and Our Town, Fly by Night uses a narrator (Asa Somers) to tell its story. This show is as whimsical as the first, as profoundly philosophical as the other. As the action begins, Harold (Damon Daunno) and his dad, Mr. McClam (David Coffee), have just lost their mother and wife. Going through her closet, Harold comes across his mother's guitar. He uses it to write a song that scores a hit during an open-mic night at a local club.
From there, the story jumps all over in time. Harold falls for Daphne (Whitney Bashor), who has moved to New Yorkto become a Broadway star. Fate – a big concept in Fly by Night – also brings him in contact with Daphne's sister, Miriam (Kristin Stokes), who panics when she realizes she is smitten with her sister's boyfriend. Harold's career horizons are limited to making sandwiches in a shop owned by Crabble (Michael McCormick). Daphne's open up when she auditions for a neurotic playwright, Joey (Alex Organ).
As the writers fit the intricate pieces of these folks' lives together, everything reaches a climax during theNew York Cityblackout of 1965. Since her late father told her every atom in her body was created by stellar explosions, Miriam has always felt connected to the universe through the stars. In the darkness where they shine, anything can happen.
Musically, too, Fly by Night is a paradox. Each character generates short motifs or melodic hooks – ranging from basic rock rhythms to operatic themes. They can seem almost childishly simple and are memorable enough that the audience gloms onto them immediately. Yet the score combines them into elaborate, almost symphonic patterns.
The TheaterCenterproduction, under director Bill Fennelly, earns big ovations after almost every number, from Daunno's unexpected success at the club to Coffee's sentimental reminiscence almost at the end of the show. In a terrific cast, Stokes stands out for her poignant singing and emotional depth in the midst of silliness. The raucous jokes – Rosenstock does write for the Fox sitcom New Girl, after all – come off with crisp precision. The comic acting often flirts with caricature, yet Fly by Night ventures darkly into the realms of loss and chaos without losing hope.

The fire came silently and without warning, ripping across the dry fields around the central Russian village of Maslovka and enveloping homes before residents could react.
Standing outside the smouldering wreckage of her home Saturday, a resident hunting for remains of her family's possessions said the flames tore through the house in moments.
"The house burned down in one minute, we barely had time to get the children out," said the woman, who did not give her name.
Only five of the 150 homes in Maslovka, near the city of Vorenzh, 600 kilometres (370 miles) southeast of Moscow, escaped the fire on Friday, one of a string of blazes across central Russia that have left at least 30 dead.
The forest fires were triggered by an unprecedented heatwave that has gripped the region, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Farenheit) turning trees and grass into tinder.
In a field outside Maslovka, an AFP photographer witnessed fire moving rapidly across a parched grass field, the flames darting forward with the slightest breath of wind.
Dazed inhabitants picked silently through the remains of their homes, desperately trying to salvage something from the wreckage as they seek to rebuild their lives before winter comes.
The town's hospitals are packed, the air heavy with acrid smoke.
Authorities have promised rapid compensation payments of 100,000 rubles (2,600 euros) for people who have lost their homes, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Saturday promised that all homes would be rebuilt by the end of October.
But one resident complaned that fields in the area had burned for several days without anything being done.
"Why do the authorities behave like that," he asked.
Local officials have come in for heavy criticism from Putin for their lack of preparedness.
"Nothing was done on time or as it should have been, but now is not the time to settle scores," Putin was quoted as saying by Russian media Saturday.
Three people have been killed in the Vorenzh region in the last two days and 400 homes destroyed, according to the Emergency Ministry.

Automotive Performance Services (APS) has removed the wraps around its own performance Audi diesel since the plan for an Audi R8 diesel has been scrapped. They have released two tuning packs for the Audi A5 3.0 TDI model which comes with a standard 230hp and 370lb-ft of top torque.
With the first stage of the tuning pack power output has been bumped to 292hp and 430lb-ft, providing superb driving performance.
To achieve the 55 hp bump in power the ECU was remapped enabling it to adjust fuel flow to the powerplant for more power output. Furthermore, the maximum speed limiter, of only up to 155 mph, was removed extending the top speed of the vehicle.
It is remarkable that, according to APS, the car can still hit a combined average of 40mpg. With the second stage APS tuning package more power output is achieved and that with the addition of a stainless steel sports exhaust system by Milltek that also improves sound.
The first stage of APS tuning comes with a $980 price tag, while the second stage comes at $2,100. The modifications are comes with a guarantee from APS that covers the remaining time of the initial warranty from Audi.
The bad news is that both the A5 3.0 TDI and its corresponding APS tuning packages will not be offered in the US although the powerplant may filter to other products of Audi being offered in US markets.

Your New Year's Pledge
Part of the PeaceHealth mission is to support healing in our communities at the New Year and beyond. We understand that by respecting your deep desire to make a unique impact in the world, you naturally make changes that also support your health goals.
This is the spirit of healing in action.
|download the
Pledge Form here
When you're ready to commit to your vision, print out and complete the New Year's Pledge on this page. It asks you to complete statements that support your personal goals. For example:
This year, I will make an impact by: volunteering regularly at the local food bank's school distribution program. In order to achieve this goal, I commit to taking the following action(s):
- Carve out two hours a week to devote to the volunteer effort
- Do weight bearing exercise three days a week so I am strong enough to lift the canned goods.
- Learn to use the map function on my phone so I can find the distribution locations easily.
Once I achieve this goal, my life will improve in these ways: I'll be connected with others in the community who share my values and I'll be stronger and healthier.
After I achieve this goal, I will feel: Happy and content to be giving back. Engaged and connected with the community.
Review your pledge each week during the year as you progress toward your goals. You can even post this on your refrigerator at home or on your bathroom mirror. When making decisions, ask yourself "does this action support my pledge?"
Use your pledge throughout the year as a compass to keep you on your chosen path.

By Dr. Kala Seetharam Sridhar of Public Affairs Centre and Samar Verma of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). Published in Business Standard, October 25, 2012.
Bangalore, the IT (information technology) hub, is currently in a mess with its solid waste. The city used to dump its garbage in a place called Mandur, but the enlightened villagers having realised its negative consequences have started returning the garbage trucks — with the city now blinking with heaps of garbage on roadsides. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, or Ficci, carried out a review of municipal solid waste management in Indian cities in 2009, and found that only six of the 22 surveyed cities in the study had sanitary landfills, while 10 cities – including major waste generators like New Delhi, Greater Mumbai (greatest generator of waste) and Kanpur – did not have sanitary landfills. Evidently, Indian cities have failed to plan themselves well to provide public services efficiently and hygienically. [Read the full article here].

text: Who has used Sam Ash online ? Was it a good experience ? Im looking to order a new 810. I usually use Sweet water and have been very happy with them. How ever the cabinet I want is not in stock and they want $250 to ship it. Sam Ash has it in stock with free shipping. I would prefer to stick with Sweet water but $250 is a good chunk of cash. I also checked with the local G.C., they can have one shipped to the store but again, Im paying shipping. Everyone has the cabinet priced the same so theres no cash to be saved other then shipping.
