Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino wants to be reunited with Espanyol centre-back Hector Moreno
4:00pm Saturday 21st June 2014 in Spurs
New Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino is keen to bring Espanyol centre-back Hector Moreno to White Hart Lane next season, according to the Daily Mail.
Moreno, who is currently at the World Cup with Mexico, worked with Pochettino at Espanyol before the Argentine head coach was sacked by the La Liga outfit in 2012.
The 26-year-old had been tracked by Pochettino at former club Southampton but has also attracted the interest of Everton and Swansea City recently.
Brought to Espanyol from AZ Alkmaar in 2011, Moreno began his professional career in Mexico with Pumas before moving to the Netherlands in 2008.
The left-footer has won 55 full caps for Mexico and won the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

— In a meeting Friday morning, the Hendricks Regional Health Board of Trustees met to formally approve and execute a contract to fill the CEO position at the hospital.
The board announced that Kevin Speer has accepted the position of the next president/chief executive officer of Hendricks Regional Health. Speer will take the helm Nov. 19, succeeding Dennis Dawes, who retired as president and CEO in May after 38 years as the hospital's chief executive.
Speer was identified from a group of about 160 applicants. The interview process has been underway since early May of this year. B.E. Smith, a nationally recognized healthcare executive search firm, was enlisted to assist the board with the search.
The board of trustees is made up of Terry Dillon, Kathleen Corbin, Mike Edmondson, and Charles Nelson, DDS. This group has worked to evaluate candidates and determine the best one to lead the organization.
Despite a large field of qualified candidates, the search committee agreed that Speer offers HRH "unique strengths in strategy that will help the hospital position itself well and navigate the uncertainties of healthcare reform in upcoming years," said Charles Nelson, DDS, search committee chairman.
Nelson added, "His wealth of knowledge and experience will be a welcome addition to our executive team who is focused on continuing our tradition to care for our community and Treat People Better."
Speer said he's looking forward to beginning his new position.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to work alongside Hendricks Regional Health's employees and physicians in the shared goal of providing the best care, with a personal touch," he said. "Hendricks Regional Health is a hospital with a great reputation and I am certainly looking forward to being a part of not only the hospital, but the Hendricks County community, for many years to come."
John Sparzo, M.D., has been serving as interim CEO since June. Sparzo will return to his position as vice president of medical affairs.
Speer is a graduate of Purdue University and Valparaiso University School of Law. In 1996, he became a partner at Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, a law firm specializing in health care law. In that role, he became the general counsel and chief legal officer for St. Vincent Health and in 2006 assumed the role of system vice president and chief strategy officer for St. Vincent Health. In that capacity, he was responsible for strategic direction of business development; mergers and acquisitions; marketing; communications; physician relations; corporate sponsorships; employer health and wellness; real estate; and facility design and construction.
Speer is executive vice president of the Indiana Academy of Family Physicians where he oversees that organization and acts as the principal spokesperson for the academy and its 1800 members. He will continue in that role.
He and his wife, Kim, have two sons, Eric and Cole. He is an Eagle Scout and is involved in coaching and managing lacrosse and hockey. Recently, Speer was appointed co-chairman of the committee that will oversee the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Speer family lives in Hamilton County but plans to relocate to Hendricks County.
Since 1962, Hendricks Regional Health has served as the area's leading healthcare provider by delivering innovative care with a personal touch. Licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health and accredited by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program, Hendricks Regional Health staffs a full complement of physicians in 56 specialties at locations in Danville, Avon, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Lizton, and Bainbridge.

It's easier than you might think to set up and run a Green Classroom. Here are some suggestions for little things you can do on a daily basis to show students how to be environmentally conscious:
- Make sure that paper and aluminum can recycling boxes are always available in your classroom. Actively promote their use. If you see someone throwing something away, remind him or her about recycling.
- Use a reusable water bottle, rather than throw-away plastic bottles. Encourage your students to do the same. Perhaps you could even organize a bulk purchase of reusable bottles, gathering $10 from parents and procuring the bottles for your classroom.
- Place the recycling symbol on the walls of your classroom. The students will gain familiarity with this symbol and recognize it when they are out and about needing to throw something away.
- When a students ask you if it's OK for them to throw away specific papers (like an old math test, for example), consistently respond, "Sure. You can recycle them." By answering this way, students will begin to think of recycling before garbage cans.
- If you have student jobs, perhaps one of the jobs could be "recycling monitor." This person would be in charge of making sure that people are recycling instead of throwing items into the regular trash. Also, this person might be in charge of taking the recycling boxes to the school's recycling center, if applicable.
- Encourage children to pick up trash around the school grounds. Perhaps if your students are acting antsy one afternoon, take a ten minute clean-up stroll around the campus before you get back to the learning at hand.
- Decorate your classroom with plants and flowers. Also, students can plant their own seeds in the beginning of the year and watch their plants thrive as the year progresses.
- Creatively minimize the amount of paper used in your classroom, without compromising educational objectives, of course. When you save a little paper, make a comment like, "We can save paper by doing it this way."
Best of all, your students might even be inspired to take some of your green habits back to their homes, spreading the green message far beyond the four walls of your classroom.

The National Weather Service says steady light snow spread over northern Connecticut on Saturday morning and that accumulations will be light through the afternoon. Temperatures are only in the teens, making roads slippery rather quickly.
The DMV says road conditions were too treacherous and cancelled all road tests for the remainder of Saturday. Anyone scheduled for a road test there should choose a new date.
Earlier Saturday, the agency announced that road tests were only cancelled in Danbury, Hamden, Waterbury and Bridgeport.
The National Weather Service says 6 to 12 inches of snow are expected from Saturday to Sunday in New England.

While we're all worrying about how many outstanding Hall of Fame candidates will certainly not be elected this month -- and how many will continue to not be elected, for some years to come -- I ran across a couple of experts who would probably be thrilled at the prospect of fruitless elections.
in 1960, Washington Post columnist and Hall of Fame voter Bob Addie asked Senators great Sam Rice a simple question: "Suppose you were Bob Addie. Would you vote Sam Rice into the Hall of Fame?"
Rice's response: "No. I think Rice fell too short. He could hit maybe, but there were a lot of other things he couldn't do. I wouldn't have voted for him."
More nuggets from Rice:
How come Joe Cronin and Hank Greenberg are in the Hall of Fame? Greenberg hit the long ball, but that's all. He couldn't field and he couldn't run, either.
Cronin, now, wasn't as good as a number of shortstops I could mention. And yet he was voted in. I will say this about Joe -- He was the greatest shortstop I ever saw for one year...
But one year doesn't make a Hall of Famer. I say a man has to keep it up for several years. Maybe there should be a minimum of ten years before a man is elected to the Hall of Fame. Maybe it should be less, I don't know. I don't run the voting and I wouldn't want to. I'm just talking out loud.
A fellow like Dizzy Dean has no business being in the Hall. You take a man like Walter Johnson. He knew everything there was to know about pitching -- and he did it. That's my idea of a man who belongs in the Hall of Fame.
I happen to agree with Rice about Dean. The other guys, not so much. Oddly, he later says that he would vote for Fred Marberry before he would vote for himself. This was definitely not a majority opinion, as Rice would be elected by the Veterans Committee just three years after this interview, while Marberry never drew more than a faint sniff from any voting body.
Addie's piece was published in Baseball Digest. Coincidentally, just two months earlier another Post writer, Shirley Povich, had weighed in with roughly the same sentiment. Recently, the BBWAA voters had failed to elect a single candidate. Which had happened two years earlier, in the previous election. The BBWAA hadn't given anyone the requisite 75 percent since 1956, when Greenberg and Cronin were elected.
Povich doesn't mention those two. But he was perfectly happy with the shutouts in 1958 and '60. Under the headline "Don't Crowd the Hall!" Povich wrote:
It is difficult to put in with Ford Frick, the commissioner, and American League President Joe Cronin, who expressed disappointment at the result of the ballot and demanded an overhaul of the voting system. Any relaxation of the 75 per cent rule would invite the election of players who don't properly belong in Cooperstown's niches.
The steady rejection of the less-than-great has been a good thing for Cooperstown. None has been elected by the writers since 1956, and the high honor of the Hall of Fame has been safeguarded. It must be noted that one reason for the four-year moratorium has been not the fact that voting system is too severe but the fact that the game currently isn't producing the giant-type performers of the past.
Povich goes on to say that Stan Musial and Ted Williams, then nearing the ends of their careers, would be worthy candidates. And that Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella would deserve serious consideration. And that Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron were well on their ways. But that was about it.
In 1960, the Hall of Fame didn't have nearly as many members as it does today, and had generally been reserved for the true immortals. Not exclusively. But generally.
You might also argue, though, that the BBWAA's ballot in 1960 was loaded with good candidates, which is what kept any of them from actually being elected. My guess is while there were many voters like Povich who didn't think anybody really deserved election, there were other voters who voted for lots of guys.
How loaded was the ballot? There were 269 voters. Almost exactly half as many players -- 134 of them -- were named on at least one ballot. Seventy-six got at least five votes, 55 got at least 10, 34 at least 20, etc.
Here's what really blows my mind, though: While not a single one of those 134 candidates was elected by the BBWAA in 1960, 36 were eventually elected (as players; three more were elected as managers).
I'm not sure that Povich was so terribly wrong, though. Of those 36 who were later elected, nearly all were elected by the Veterans Committee rather than the BBWAA, and nearly all probably shouldn't have been. Sure, Povich was probably being too rough on candidates like Arky Vaughan, Luke Appling, Red Ruffing, and Johnny Mize. But the Veterans Committee would be far too easy on the likes of Chick Hafey, Jesse Haines, Chuck Klein, Tony Lazzeri, and literally dozens of others.
So Povich lost that battle. Which is actually sort of a shame. Still, that doesn't mean anybody as good as Jesse Haines should in the Hall of Fame. The standard is no longer Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, but that doesn't mean it's now Lefty Gomez and Travis Jackson. I believe a good guideline is this: A worthy candidate doesn't lower the standards of the Hall; that is, he's at least as good as the median. Another reasonable guideline (at this point): A worthy candidate ranks among the 10 best players at his position. Both standards are tough, but would allow for the election of many of the players currently on the ballot, or joining the ballot in the next few years.

I was climbing at Movement Climbing gym in Boulder last night and left with someone else's Women's 5.10 guide tennies because they accidentally or purposefully made off with mine I'm not sure. I am writing this because if some one knows where they are I would be so grateful to have them back. They are only a few months old and the soles are still in great shape. The ones I was left with are very worn and stretched out, looks like they were climbed in a bunch which is great for them but I cannot use them. I know this is cheesy and probably a long shot but I'm really attached and cannot afford another pair right now. They are just way too big the arches are way off and I'm really bummin. If any one knows anything please let me know their a size 8 8.5 grey guide tennies w grey laces. ( I know that's a popular shoe and size) Shelly
"LOL this is the most classic example of a first world problem if I ever heard of one." I don't think you get to use the "first world problem" thing when you live in Boulder and your profile picture is your f#cking picapoo, yorkipoo, or whatever sweater-wearing doggie-poo that thing is... Just saying, you might be a shithead... Hope you find your shoes :-)
Hahahah... Slayed it!
too many east coast crackheads moving to CO for me
Bummer ... I had that happen once with ski poles. I bet someone upgraded themselves. I hope you put up a notice at the gym.
Thanks.... I was just giving it a shot didn't mean to insult anyone with my "white girl problem". It still stinks to loose your shoes...
I let them know and I was gonna put a flier on the community board just incase! Thanks
Hey man are you gonna like find these guys? Any leads on the missing shoes?
None I put up a flier at Movement and they took it down. I'm kind of settling with the fact that someone was a total jerk and upgraded their shoes. At least now I know to watch my stuff even around climbers at a Boulder rock gym...
Haha yep that short explained it! 😊
Need approach shoes to get to your indoor climbs? You might as well leave a shiny new 'biner laying around. Are you sure those shoes are from the person that took your shoes? What if someone just lifted your shoes and you just took someone else's�.leaving them high n dry without shoes.
Well I hope you get your shoes back ! But I'm not surprised they got pinched , given the quality of people now a days . And for a gym to take your flyer down , hmmmmm sounds to me like there condoning this kind of behavior ! Personally I don't care for climbing gyms but if this happened to me I don't think they would get my business anymore, and to top it off I'd make damn good n sure everyone I climbed with knew about it.
I love that name- "RockinOut". Fuck yeah bro. I'm with you man. People that don't wear moccs or flip flops to the gym are posers and have likely never rocked out like us. Keep fighting the good fight, and never stop rockin' out. loose means not tight shelybe.
Hey Rockinout.... I hope that this comment is a joke and if not please don't be a jerk... Yes I need them! I climb my hardest in them especially on plastic holds in the climbing gym! No... they are my every day shoes, my back packing shoes my climbing shoes. They are rad and comphy and sorry if that is a lame thing to some people... I don't own 4 pairs of shoes for every occassion. The shoes were placed right where I left mine and I stop by the desk every time im in Movement to see if anyone asked about it so I did not leave someone shoeless. Im not a jerk so please don't assume that I am. There is no need to give me a hard time! Thanks to all who have given nice advise. I thought that people especially in the climbing community believed in some type of honor system. its not Movements responsibility to watch my stuff. That was my bad. Im Naieve, oh well. I do not know who took the posting off the board but oh well again I may just post another one and just keep talking about it. I won't "lose" another pair again. :) keep fightin the good fight...
How does anyone have a problem with this thread? Her shoes got stolen, which sucks, and some peoples' response is to lambaste her for posting about it in hopes of getting them returned? I'm thoroughly confused by some of you people.
t's easy to tell how everyone's work day is going by how dickish their forum posts are.

What would be the salutation if the letter is aim to a lot of people. (Is a formal letter)
If you know the name of the company to whom the letter is addressed, and have used it in the address, you could start the letter with "Dear Sirs".
It does not matter that some of the people who will read it may be female.
I have seen 'Gentlemen' used in American correspondence, though never in British.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Marriage equality is now law in Illinois.
On Wednesday, in front of a crowd of thousands at the University of Chicago, Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation making Illinois the 16th state to embrace full marriage equality.
The legislation allows same-sex couples in Illinois to receive the rights and protections of marriage.
In 2011, the Governor signed into law civil union legislation. Since then, more than 6,000 couples from across Illinois have joined in a civil union.
The law takes effect June 1, 2014.

First Thanksgiving
November 9, 2007 by Brennan
Filed under Morning Show
I've been married for almost three months now and it's a blast. Of course there are those trying times of getting adjusted to each other – which I hear never stops no matter how long you've been married. But as the holidays get closer I gotta say I'm looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my wife.
It's our first one all by ourselves and I can't wait to create our own traditions, like decorating the Christmas tree and burning the sweet potato pie (yeah, that'd be me). I know it's probably sappy to say, but I wonder what memories we'll have when we look back after several years have passed.
You probably have some of your own memories of that first Thanksgiving or Christmas with your husband or wife, kids, or close friends. Feel free to share them if you'd like. And happy holidays!

Lois Randall was 50 when she started getting strange pains shooting into her jaw and neck. Although she was a nurse, the Miami resident refused to see a doctor and instead popped aspirin.
She eventually did see a cardiologist, who informed her she had suffered a "silent heart attack."
Randall, who had just lost her father during a triple bypass operation, left the cardiologist's office and promptly stuck her head in the sand, where it remained for 12 years — until she suffered a mini-stroke at work one day. At that point, Randall finally got a stress test, which she flunked, and a catheterization.
Doctors at Baptist Hospital refused to let her leave the hospital and she spent the next 14 days there undergoing triple bypass surgery and having holes poked in her heart to stimulate growth. It took three years for Randall to fully recover.
Now 67 and a law firm secretarial and training coordinator, Randall tells female friends not to ignore what could be a heart attack coming in the form of dizziness, jaw pain or even back pain.
"I say, 'Don't trivialize anything that doesn't feel normal for you,' " she said. "See a doctor as soon as you can."
Randall's story is not unusual. The American Heart Association, doctors and women's health advocates have been trying to get out the message that heart disease is now the No. 1 killer of women, killing more women than all types of cancer combined.
They are also trying to educate the public — and physicians — that heart attack symptoms can be different for women. While men usually experience the "elephant sitting on your chest" syndrome, women can experience a variety of other symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, neck and jaw pain, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue.
"Twenty years ago, people didn't recognize that while there are differences between men and women's physiology, there are differences with their hearts as well," said Dr. Jonathan Roberts of Baptist Hospital. "We are trying to raise awareness in the community and with physicians that heart disease in women can be different than heart disease in men."
For this reason, Baptist Hospital, like many other hospitals, now does a special blood test that detects heart disease as well as an electrocardiogram (EKG) on most women who come to the emergency room with non-specific symptoms, Roberts said.
"It's become standard," he said. "Twenty years ago, more women than men were sent home with these non-specific symptoms. Now, we look further."
The American Heart Assocation has been trying to raise awareness of heart disease and women for a decade, starting its Go Red For Women campaign in 2003. The campaign asks women around the country to wear red every Feb. 1 to draw attention to the issue. According to the association, 627,000 lives have been saved as a result of the campaign and 330 fewer women are dying per day.
In addition to educating women on how to recognize heart attack symptoms, the medical community is also trying to teach women how to prevent heart disease in the first place, by avoiding smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, an unhealthy diet and excessive stress. The growing obesity crisis in the United States is fueling a rise in diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease, all of which are starting at alarmingly early ages.
"Before, women would get heart disease or strokes when they were elderly," said Dr. Claudia Martinez, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Nowadays, women tend to manifest younger, even before menopause."
Martinez's youngest female heart attack patient to date: 26.
At Baptist, women under 30 are coming to the emergency room with heart attacks once or twice a month, Roberts said. Additionally, a recent study showed that pregnant women diagnosed with high blood pressure or diabetes are predisposed to heart disease later in life, he said
Research over the last four to five years has shown that some women could benefit from a stress cardiac MRI, yet another test for heart attacks. According to Baptist's Dr. Stratego Castanes, this test picks up a form of heart disease suffered more commonly by women called microvascular ischemia, which is not typically revealed by stress tests or cardiac catheterization.
"For women, sometimes the first signs of heart disease are in the small vessels that supply the blood to the heart, causing very patchy distribution," Castanes said. "When you find that, women need to be treated aggressively. But without this test, sometimes women are told they are anxious or crazy and sent home."
Despite the campaigns, not everyone is paying attention. Like Randall, Lourdes Brezo, a 53-year-old marketing manager, thinks she also had a silent heart attack. Brezo, a lifelong Miamian who recently moved to New York City, had been told to take high blood pressure medicine many years ago but ignored the doctor's advice. Fast forward to March last year, when Brezo was walking home from church one Sunday and felt her heart racing.
"I had a little pressure on my chest but it wasn't excruciating or anything," she said. "It's like when you go the hair salon and they put the gown on too tight on your neck and you feel like you are choking."
Brezo ignored the symptoms, put an aspirin under her tongue and went to sleep.
A week later, she started shaking and shivering with cold at work. Brezo popped another aspirin, but her co-workers called paramedics. They took an EKG and determined she had recently suffered a heart attack. Brezo is now under the care of a cardiologist and taking proper medication.
Her advice for women: "Don't ignore the doctor and don't ignore your symptoms."
"I live alone and I could have died in my sleep that night," she said. "It was the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life."

A bit too light in color for a schwarz, it is more on the brown reddish. Beautiful light brown foam, compact.
Inthe smell malt, some caramel and toasted, but very light.
At the taste again malt, caramel, but not boring. It slips away a bit, leaving some light toasted in the back, decent.
More a mix between a schwarz and a dunkel, but not bad, in the end.

Dark beer with touch of malt and burnt malt bitterness.
Mahogany color in the glass with a touch of gold. Kind of a metallic, canned scent. Lacing is nice with a decent carbonated mouthfeel. More sparkly on the tongue. Initially, a bit of malt sweetness on the tongue. Bitterness comes on unexpectedly strong since there is not much hop aroma. Charcoal and muddy flavors make this less pleasant than other softer dark German beers. I would say it is a big dose of burnt malt that gives the sourish bitterness.

Schmucker Schwartzbier produces ample amounts of light tan head. The body is dark ruby red in color and is clean filtered. This is a picture perfect schwartzbier.
This has a slightly smoky and sweet aroma to it. The aroma kind of reminds me of raisons.
The taste is malty and has a roasted/burnt characteristic.
This is a light to medium bodied beer and is pretty refreshing. Oddly there is a warming feeling to the back of the palate. Overall, this is about as good of a schwartzbier as you can get.

A "genuine German vollbier" according to the label "full bodied and malty",poured into my Monchshof schwarzbier glass a deep near bronze color with a off white one finger head quite pleasing to look at.Soft aromas bakers chocolate and brown sugar with a real noticable iron note,true to form the beer is definently on the malty side brown sugar and unsweetened chocolate with that underlying mineral/iron quality there is hint of noble spiciness in the finish.I think a real quaffable beer it wont knock your socks off but its not intended to its got some nice flavors to boot.

Found this in a fancy Moscow supermarket. German standard brown half liter bottle wiht a black and silver label featuring a pirate holding a mug of beer. Purity law applies. Best before 9/28/05, I opened it on 12/14/04.
Pours a clear cola color under a thin one finger tan head that disappears completely pretty quickly, much like a cola would. There's a touch of caramel in the nose, plus a hint of hops. The mouth is mildly carbonated and quite light. There's some caramel malt here, but it's pretty watery. A touch of crisp German hops comes out a bit later, giving the brew a touch of character and a little dry tickle at the back of the throat. While Globetrotterette thought this was pretty good, I'm a bit disappointed.

Thin, fine bubbled head gives way to a thin layer of lace, floating atop a dark garnet brew.
Aromas of dark malt and black licorace predominate, but aren't overwhelming.
Taste has hints of molasses, baker's chocolate, pumpernickel. Noble hops are present at a moderate level.
A bit thin, and high on carbonation, but definitely drinkable for the fact that it's been on sale here cheaper than many popular macros.
Not spectacular, just something to have handy when I don't want to open something better.

I like dark lager. This was not as dark as I'd have expected, and not as sweet. The first sip was smooth and creamy, but the hops seemed to bite in a little hard like a cheaper beer. The scent was pleasant--a good mix of hop and honey. I must admit, I didn't expect a lot from this beer at all as I got a case for $11 at the distributor (usually i pay that for a 12 or even a 6--depending on what it is). Frankly I was expecting it to be pretty lame. had there been a little less hop, I think it would have been a much better beer...but i am a homebrewer, and I like hops not-so-much. If you like a bit more hop, this might be just what you are looking for. smooth, just a little thin...clean, dry finish...with a hint of smoke on the back of the tongue. Certainly better than a 12 pack of labatts.

Schmucker Schwarzbier was well-described by the previous reviewer. The light beige head slowly receded into oblivion and lacing was not left to mark its passage. The aroma was pleasantly reminiscent of honey, malt and fruit. However, I found it - keep in mind I am not a big fan of dark beers - a bit thin on the palate.

Brown bottle, freshness dated. Pours a deep red/chestnut color with a not-so-long-lasting offwhite head. The aroma is pure German - malty with background of noble hops, probably Hallertau.
Round, sweetish malt - typically German, with a fruity, honeylike decoction sweetness and noble hop in unison. Very faint dark fruity malt flavor way in the background - just enough to differentiate it from a dunkel. OK body, but a bit thinner than Kostritzer Schwarzbier. Finishes with a slightly drier, malt/grain flavor that cuts the edge of the sweetness and makes it very quaffable.
Someone has to say it: with a name like Schmucker, it has to be good.

Good afternoon prospect watchers. SB Nation's hard-working technical team is continuing to hammer at the glitches that have been hampering the network over the last 24 hours. Performance is steadily improving and should continue to do so; things will be back to normal here before long. Again, thanks for your patience.
I got the 2013 Mock Draft Version Two up this morning. Draft coverage is the main focus for the next few weeks,and don't forget the Minor League Ball Community Mock Draft coming up on June 1st.
***Yesterday's Minor League Ball gameday thread. Major kudos and hearty thanks to community member melotticus, who has been posting frequent updates on linescores and performances in the thread every evening. All Hail melotticus!
***Possibly the biggest news today is the announcement that Kansas City Royals prospect Bubba Starling has been suffering from vision problems and will have Lasik eye surgery soon. Starling was hitting .215/.286/.354 in 127 at-bats for Low-A Lexington, with 10 walks and 41 strikeouts. Scouting reports continue to praise the tools and athleticism that made him a first round pick in 2011, but opinion on his bat remains mixed and so far his performance has been uninspiring. A vision problem would explain much, and there is powder blue precedent for this: Eric Hosmer got off to a slow start in his pro career until having laser surgery.
***There is nothing wrong with the eyesight of Miami Marlins prospect Christian Yelich, who went 3-for-6 with two homers yesterday for Double-A Jacksonville and is now hitting .319/.390/.659 on the season. Anyone remember when people wondered how much power he would develop?
***Seattle Mariners prospect Julio Morban went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a triple for Double-A Jackson. He's hitting .377/.415/.610 on the season, although his BB/K ratio of 4/22 in 77 at-bats is weak. The numbers fit reports that he possesses plenty of bat speed and power, but his approach remains very aggressive and may be problematic against better pitching. At age 21 he has time to correct this of course. He was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2008 for $1,100,000.
***Today's minor league schedule.

The Concord University football team ended its 2012 season on a high
note Saturday with a 23-16 victory at West Virginia Wesleyan. The win
was sparked by three forced turnovers, a pair of rushing touchdowns and
three successful field goal attempts.
Concord finishes the season having won three consecutive games to push
its record to 7-4 overall and 6-2 in the West Virginia Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference. After beginning the season 2-3, the Mountain Lions
regrouped to win five of their final six games of the season to secure
the program's fourth consecutive winning season. West Virginia Wesleyan
falls to 3-8 overall and 2-6 in the WVIAC with the loss.
The Mountain Lions dominant defense shutdown the high-powered Wesleyan
passing attack, holding Bobcat quarterback Nate Montana, who entered the
game as the WVIAC's leading passer, to just 199 yards passing and
forcing two interceptions.
For the game, Concord outgained Wesleyan 372-275 in total offense,
233-199 in passing yards and 139-76 in rushing yards. CU's defense ends
the year having allowed just three players to rush for over 100 yards
against them. The Maroon and Gray also won the time of possession battle
(39:16 – 20:44).
Freshman running back Calvinaugh Jones produced one of his finest
performances of the season, rushing for 138 yards on 25 carries (5.5
ypc) and one touchdown. Sophomore fullback Ben Nester also rushed for
his team-leading seventh score of the season Saturday.
Senior quarterback Evin Dusold completed 20-of-35 pass attempts for 233
yards. Dusold leaves Concord with a record of 3-1 as a starting
quarterback. His top target against the Bobcats was senior wide receiver
Ansel Ponder, who registered team-highs of nine receptions and 106
yards. Sophomore wide receiver Tyler Smith had four catches for 72
yards, including a team-long 47-yard reception.
Interceptions by the cornerback tandem of senior Nate Pollard and junior
Riyahd Richardson sparked the Concord defense to handle the vaunted
Wesleyan passing attack. Pollard also blocked a field goal attempt while
Richardson made two tackles for loss. Richardson's INT was his fourth
in as many games and his fifth in six contests.
Junior linebacker Jake Lilly tallied his seventh double-digit tackle
effort of the year with a team-best 10 tackles. Senior Howard Jordan
picked up Concord's lone sack of the game, his fourth of the year.
Concord only trailed for a total of five minutes Saturday as the Bobcats
scored first via a 26-yard field goal before the Mountain Lions scored
on three of their next four possessions thanks to a 30-yard field goal
from freshman Andy Ellington and rushing touchdowns from Jones and
Nester to give Concord a commanding 17-3 advantage with 14:45 to play in
the second quarter. Jones' touchdown-run came from 22-yards out.
Wesleyan was able to cut the lead to seven points (17-10) at halftime,
but CU responded with a nine-play drive to start the third quarter that
was finished off with a 35-yard field goal from Ellington to make it a
20-10 game. The Bobcats would once again dash the Concord-lead in half
(20-16) thanks to an 11-yard touchdown pass at the end of the third
quarter. However, Concord's offense added three insurance points after a
13-play drive put Ellington in position to knock down another field
goal attempt from 33 yards to give the Mountain Lions a 23-16 lead with
12:04 to play in regulation.
The seven-point lead was more than enough for the Concord defense, which
closed out the game by ending three consecutive Wesleyan drives on
downs to help pull off the win.
The Mountain Lions end the year in a three-way tie for second place in the WVIAC.

apartment rental amenities
Condo Location:
The condo is located at Marbella del Caribe one of the most prestigious beachfront condominiums in Isla Verde Avenue. Condo is on the West 'Oeste' Tower, the only tower with unobstructed beach views. We paid a premium price for the condo to be on the West Tower, but it was worth it as it makes a huge difference on the view, the privacy and the tranquility. Being on the West Tower also guarantees you absolutely no noise from the late night parties held at the rooftop of the Waterclub Hotel.
Location Amenities:
• Gated beachfront building with 24 hour security
• Lots of restaurants and nightlife options a few steps away
• One block away from the Intercontinental Hotel and the San Juan Hotel & Casino
• 24-hour Walgreens across the street
• 24-hour Charlie Car Rental across the street
• 24-hour Supermarket ~ 10 minute walk
• Various trendy beach bars a few steps away
• Watersports Rentals ~ 5 minute walk (wave runners, kayaks, parasail, and banana boats among others)
• Surfing Lessons ~ 15 minute walk
• Bike Rental ~ 10 minute walk
• Isla Verde is the nicest beach of San Juan as well as the place to see and be seen
• No need to rent a car
• Everything is within very easy and safe walking distance (day and night)
• Public bus to Old San Juan stops in our building ~ 0.75 ¢ each way
• 10 minute drive from airport with absolutely no airport noise ~ $10 per cab
• To rent a car for a day there is 24 hour Charlie Car Rental across the street
* You will not want to stay anywhere else and then have to travel by car at night, even on small distances, because you end up in a condo in a small very quiet nearby street, or on the other very quiet side of Isla Verde (next to the Ritz and the Courtyard Marriott). Only the condos on Isla Verde Ave. that are near the Intercontinental and El San Juan Hotel are the ones you can truly walk to/from at any time of the day AND night, even with small children. This area of Isla Verde Ave has lots of light at night, security and tourists walking around at all times, yet our condo is very quiet, you will not hear any street noise.

---- — Downtown development
TO THE EDITOR: In regards to the article printed Sept. 26, "Rosenquest: City Blocks Downtown Activity," I find it rather interesting that the current administration feels they have been such overwhelming supporters of events like First Weekends.
What a crock that is. I was there the night that we asked for everyone to show up to ensure that the streets would be closed for this great event, and even with such obvious public support, the council and mayor were still less than enthusiastic.
Many times, I have heard of people feeling very frustrated when dealing with City Hall for events like this. They try to point to things like Mayor's Cup as proof of their support. Well, here is a reality: Mayor's Cup is dying a slow death; it is now a shadow of what it was.
They wish to blame the economy? How about admitting they do not know how to bring it back to life. Also, mention was made of an existing Community and Economic Development Office for Plattsburgh. If one went to City Hall and went to the door of this alleged office, they would find a note taped to that door with a phone number to call. I have tried this number on numerous occasions and have never once gotten a live person. No one is ever in this office. Who is the director? Where is the staff? It does not exist.
The current administration is delusional if they feel they are growing this city. Voting in current council members for mayor will only perpetuate this stagnation.
It is time the people of Plattsburgh had a mayor and council who work for them, not one that gets annoyed by its constituents.
Let's make Plattsburgh great again. Rosenquist for mayor.
Flynn dedicated
TO THE EDITOR: Often times, it is human nature to first take time to complain and then fail to take the same time to commend. I wanted to bring some good works to your attention.
I myself, who is active in my community, have noticed the efforts of Kathy Flynn, Peru town clerk. I often keep long hours doing various tasks for local organizations that need help. I run into Kathy along the way all the time.
She is very visible in her community. Mrs. Flynn is always smiling and able to answer questions with regards to her clerk responsibilities. In addition to that, she is an excellent resource when it comes to the Peru Youth Commission.
Mrs. Flynn consistently greets her community with dedication and a sense of deep commitment.
It is not only that I support the Peru Republican Party. I also believe a strong community is key in the strengthening of our country's future.
I challenge other candidates, from all parties, to possess the same dignity and long-standing relationships that Mrs. Flynn carries in her everyday life.
Outstanding candidates
TO THE EDITOR: This year, Peru has some outstanding candidates running for office: Peter Glusco, town supervisor; Mike Farrell, highway superintendent; John Lawliss, town justice; Don McBrayer, Town Council; and Kathy Flynn, town clerk and tax collector.
These are all people who have proven leadership in the Town of Peru. I encourage Peru residents to vote for all of these candidates. Mike Farrell and Jack Lawliss are unopposed.
I would especially encourage your support for Kathy Flynn and Don McBrayer.
Kathy Flynn has done an outstanding job as town clerk/tax collector for the past 11 years. She is not only very competent but is always kind and gracious in her interactions with everyone. She goes out of her way to be helpful to all.
Don McBrayer is very active in the Town of Peru. He serves on the Zoning Board and is webmaster for the Town. He is also very involved in St. Augustine's annual Applefest and other local organizations.
I would be remiss in not mentioning another outstanding Peru resident, Susan Polhemus, who is running for Clinton County treasurer. There is no one who has more experience or proven ability for this position than Sue Polhemus. Sue has 30 years experience in banking and accounting, including municipal accounting. She knows how towns and villages operate and is intimately familiar with their financial aspects.
Sue Polhemus will do an excellent job as Clinton County treasurer.
Budget increase
TO THE EDITOR: I am candidate for the Town Council of the Town of Plattsburgh.
During a recent work session, the councilors discussed their desire to exceed the state cap on raising taxes. Specifically, they talked favorable, and expressed intent to act quickly, on voting to exceed the state cap limit of 1.66 percent increase in the town highway tax.
The supervisor expressed his goal for the Highway Department to be self-sufficient, potentially raising the tax high enough to support the department's entire budget. That action would result in raising the highway tax by up to 300 percent. More than tripling it.
Shockingly, they are heading in this direction without benefit of knowing what the proposed 2014 budget will be; they haven't received it yet.
The Town of Plattsburgh has historically been blessed with enough sales-tax revenue to support its entire town budget, including 100 percent of the highway budget.
In 2010, the council instituted the highway tax of $400,000, which has grown to $768,000 in 2013 and appears destined to be as much as $2 million when residents receive their 2014 tax bill next January. That is simply outrageous, and it is a tax we will likely be burdened with for every year to come.
It is actions like this that compelled me to run for the council. As a land developer and home builder, I believe I possess the business and budgeting skills necessary to create town budgets that will help the town grow without undue burden on the taxpayers.
The council is expected to vote soon to exceed the cap, perhaps as early as Oct. 7. They are also planning budget work sessions in the weeks following. I encourage all concerned citizens to attend these meetings.
Vision, leadership
TO THE EDITOR: We find ourselves in an era where government is in need of real leadership.
We need people serving who are dedicated to the needs of the people. Serving with integrity, honesty and dedication to the common good, not self-serving individuals wanting to enhance their public image for the next big payday or the next political office.
We need leadership with vision and foresight to the need to create jobs, keep spending at manageable levels and develop a sound growth structure for the whole community, not special interests.
I believe this person is running for office as Clinton County Legislator in the City of Plattsburgh.
Vote for Rick Perry, a man you can trust.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Google might know where you go on the Web, but Facebook knows who you are and gives advertisers a demographic added context to utilize.
By Keris Alison Lahiff, TheStreet
Facebook (FB) is a seasoned company by Silicon Valley standards, so its growth in advertising market share over its relatively short life is easily taken for granted. The little Harvard side-project is not only competing with tech titan Google (GOOGL) for online advertising dollars, it's gaining ground.
Facebook's secret weapon is mobile advertising, a market that is expected to grow 75 percent globally to nearly $32 billion this year, according to eMarketer estimates. With an influx of cash flooding online advertising, Facebook is managing to snap up the growth at a far greater pace than Google.
While Google still receives the majority of global mobile ad revenue at around half the total, its supremacy is slipping. By the end of 2014, eMarketer expects its mobile market share to fall to 46.8 percent from 52.6 percent two years earlier. Over the same period of time, Facebook is expected to accelerate its mobile ad revenue share to 21.7 percent from 5.4 percent, with its growth primarily at the expense of Google with very little change in share seen from other players such as Twitter (TWTR) and Pandora (P).
Do it once a year. This allows the best-performing asset classes to take off and run.
The yearly rebalancing of your investments is a dull chore that's tempting to postpone.
Investors who put it off too long, however, can live to bitterly regret their procrastination.
Here are six things you need to know about rebalancing:
1. Risk
The main reason to rebalance isn't to make more money; it's to control your exposure to risk.
The most fundamental relationship that needs to remain properly balanced in a portfolio is the ratio of stock funds to bond funds. Imagine that your target allocation is 60 percent stocks (for growth) and 40 percent bonds (for income and stability).
Trucks will soon have electronic devices that make it harder to fudge the numbers on hours driven.
The current shortage is estimated to be at 30,000, and a new regulation will help drive that higher.
A mandate requiring commercial vehicles to have an electronic logging device is likely go into effect in early 2015. This will make it harder for drivers to fudge the numbers and work more than the legally mandated limit on hours.
Right now 75 percent of the industry does not have these logging devices. Analysts expect 100 percent compliance within a year or two of the rule going into effect.
The vehicles travel around with students throughout the day, giving the company inroads into one of its last uncharted territories: University campuses.
College campuses might be among the few remaining places to escape the shadow of Starbucks (SBUX).
There are roughly 11,500 Starbucks outlets in the U.S., but only about 300 of them are on U.S. campuses. That means most students of the country's 4,700 colleges are buying their coffee somewhere else.
That is about to change at three schools. The ubiquitous chain will peddle caffeine from food trucks at Arizona State University (which has also partnered with Starbucks to offer employees scholarships for its online program), James Madison University in Virginia, and Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina.
Some 80% of the vehicles built south of the border are exported to other countries, mostly to the US.
Everything you need to know about the future of the global auto industry is printed on the business cards of Carlos Lozano de la Torre, governor of Aguascalientes, Mexico, a central province named for its abundance of hot springs.
Seated at an enormous round table inside the ornate 17th-century government palace where he has his office, he reaches into the side pocket of his dark gray suit and shuffles through a stack: Here's one version in German, another in Chinese, another in English.
"I have them in ten languages, but I only speak Spanish," he says with a chuckle as he hands over the English version.
It's been a rough road for the car-rental company. Analysts downgrade the stock after the news.
In other words, things are a mess at Hertz. The company's stock has been a favorite among prominent hedge fund managers like Glenview Capital Management's Larry Robbins, York Capital Management's James Dinan and Fir Tree Partners' Jeffrey Tannenbaum.
Shares of Hertz plunged by more than 11 percent in Wednesday morning trading to $27.95, but recovered to a 9.5 percent loss in the afternoon. The stock had previously risen in August to a 52-week high of $31.61.
The Nasdaq is booming, but some of the biggest names in technology haven't recovered.
While the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) has finally made it back to levels seen around the time the technology bubble popped more than 14 years ago, a number of tech-heavyweights that helped fuel the madness are still languishing at less than half their peak levels.
The tech-friendly Nasdaq Composite closed Tuesday at 4527.51, the highest level seen since March 31, 2000.
The Nasdaq has soared more than four-fold since bottoming out at 1114.11 on Oct. 9, 2002, but is still an 11 percent rally away from its all-time closing peak of 5046.86 reached on March 9, 2000.
A 4.8% yield is drawing attention to this bundle of dividend stocks from Europe, Asia, Australia and Canada.
By Kyle Woodley
If you're a dividend investor, chances are you're holding many of the space's stalwarts -- big, blue-chip American companies with rock-solid financials and gobs of cash that you can ride through thick and thin.
That's good. Don't stop doing that.
But if you're truly looking to diversify your holdings, that also means protecting yourself against a slump in the U.S. And one of the best ways to do that is to target the same types of big, blue-chip dividend companies you like here in the States . . . but elsewhere on the map.
One of the best ways to hunker down internationally is the iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV), a bundle of high-yielding dividend stocks from Europe, Asia, Australia and Canada.
Low interest rates are supposed to get money circulating, but instead investors are hoarding cash.
The conventional wisdom says the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates so low that it doesn't pay to play it safe and that it's encouraging investors to do all sorts of crazy things to earn a higher yield.
Supposedly, the central bank is prompting investors to pump up stocks, junk bonds, farm land and all the other bubbles you've been reading about.
It's a nice story, but the data show that U.S. investors are still conservative about where they put their money.
Just how conservative are they?
The heavy-machine maker is getting killed in Asia. Its performance may say a lot about the world economy.
The heavy-machine maker just released its latest three-month rolling retail sales stats, which showed that sales, particularly in its Asia/Pacific segment, keep falling.
Worldwide, total machine retail sales were down 12 percent in May, 10 percent in June and 9 percent in July when compared to the prior year period.
These declines compare to year-on-year declines of 8 percent, 12 percent and 13 percent in February, March and April.
In its Asia/Pacific segment, total machine sales were down 30 percent, 30 percent and 29 percent for the months of May, June, and July, respectively.
The dollar is down, the Gaza truce is off, the Fed's minutes come out today, and company news is all bad.
The Germans and Russians were potentially working things out in Ukraine. Home Depot (HD) and some other retailers put up terrific numbers, and housing starts got stronger even as gasoline and mortgage rates went lower. Gaza was peaceful. The dollar was stable, and we seemed not to have all that much to worry about regarding the Federal Reserve.
Keep those circumstances in mind, because those were the thoughts that framed Tuesday's closing bell.
Now consider today.
First, the dollar is soaring again, much harder than what we have seen of late. Why? Maybe because Ukraine wants more concessions and the Russians don't want to go quietly into the night? Second, at the Bank of England, the prior consensus to keep interest rates lower is unraveling as two members want higher rates. Third, the Gaza truce is off and the fighting is back on.

Do your research. There's a reason it's the No. 1 rule in the book.
Looking for how to make money in the stock market? A new paper reveals there's one easy way.
And it turns out it's one thing Warren Buffett (pictured) has admitted he does almost every day.
According to a recent paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, or NBER, entitled "Financial Knowledge and 401k Investment Performance," now, more than ever, the ability for an individual American to properly save and invest is critical.
The paper notes that as a result of the changes in how employers contribute to employee retirement accounts -- pension plans have become less common and things like 401k accounts, which require more decisions from individuals, have grown -- "the ability to invest wisely and earn better returns will therefore be increasingly critical for national retirement well-being in an aging world."
The market is setting itself up to hit new highs that should last through November.
By Anthony Mirhaydari
Stocks continued to push higher Tuesday in response to a batch of "Goldilocks" economic data.
Consumer price inflation was softer than expected, providing the doves at the Federal Reserve with more ammunition to keep the hawks at bay. And housing looks set to get a lift as new construction starts jumped 8 percent, ending two months of declines.
The broad market looks ready for a Fed-fueled melt-up heading into Chairwoman Janet Yellen's speech on Friday. That likely will set up a push to new highs that should last through November. Helping in this has been the diminishing geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and Iraq.
In fact, after largely skidding sideways over the last few months, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) looks set for another move toward the 2,000 mark and new all-time highs. Here's why.
Sales at the retailer are plunging, leading executives to roll out some dramatic fixes. Shares rise 4% in response.
The brand's same-store sales plunged 10 percent in the second quarter over last year, marking the fourth straight quarter of comparable sales declines.
By comparison, same-store sales increased 21 percent at Free People and 6 percent at Anthropologie in the second quarter.
The company blamed Urban Outfitters' poor performance on fashion misses and "what had become incessant promotional activity" in an earnings call with analysts Monday.
The businesses reporting the largest increases in sales per share can help when picking stocks.
Now that second-quarter earnings season is nearly over, it's time to find out which companies moved up the ranks in their industry.
But how do we find out? Earnings results are so often affected by one-time items that comparisons have become essentially meaningless.
To address that problem, last week we looked at the 10 Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) stocks that had seen the greatest increases in consensus 2015 earnings estimates since June 30. Forward estimates don't include one-time items.
We also listed the 10 S&P 500 stocks suffering the largest cuts in earnings estimates.

You no longer have to remember your multi-digit or alphanumeric account number or password to withdraw money from your bank. If the pilot projects on speech-based mobility solutions by a few banks turn out to be successful, you can transact almost all banking businesses with your voice as the password.
Uniphore Software Systems, in a tie-up with Nuance Communications, has developed speech-based mobility solutions for banks. Uniphore , a start-up IT solutions company (incubated in IIT Madras), has tied up with five public and private sector banks, including Syndicate Bank and Axis Bank, for the pilot.
Quick identification
The voice biometrics and speech-recognition software, patented by Nuance Communications, will enable the bank to identify the accountholder within a fraction of a second as he speaks on the phone.
Once identified, the application can process the entire transaction through the use of speech-based navigation. Users can conduct banking transactions with any mobile phone… "even basic models would do," said Mr Umesh Sachdev, Co-founder and CEO of Uniphore, at a press conference here on Wednesday.
According to Mr Sunny Rao, Head of Nuance's India operations, the company's speech-recognition solution can support 13 Indian languages, apart from English. It registers and recognises a voice through 28 parameters. Even if a person has a cold or flu, only four parameters will change, with the other 24 remaining intact, he explained. Even if someone mimics your voice, it will reject the transaction; nor can a recorded voice be used, he empahsised.
Best bet
Mr Rao told Business Line that voice biometric is the best bet to provide secure banking services to the Indian masses, as it overcomes literacy challenges. Fingerprints may not work in the rural areas as hard work wipes away fingerprints for many people. "They cannot even open a bank account with what's left."
Even for an iris match, with a large number of people having eye problems such as cataract, advanced stages of macular degeneration and even night blindness, retina reading too is not dependable, he said.

PHOTOS: Check Out Facebook's Ever-Changing Headquarters
Owen Thomas, Business Insider
But the move was just the beginning. Amidst the billion-dollar Instagram deal, the tumultuous IPO, and other momentous events, Facebook has been ceaselessly revamping the former Sun Microsystems campus to make it the ideal space—including letting employees hack their offices with artwork, graffiti walls, and ever-changing workspaces.
On the day CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a provocative and controversial new feature, Graph Search, we toured the campus to see new cafés, freshly occupied buildings, and other changes.
Facebook may never be done. On Tuesday, the city of Menlo Park is holding a hearing on a new West Campus for Facebook across an expressway from the current site. If approved, 2,800 employees will eventually occupy a single building designed by Frank Gehry.

The representative was knowledgable, helpful and located in Oklahoma spoke nice English and was easy to understand and communicate with. He stayed on the phone with me for 30-40 minutes until we got everything worked out.
See above. I don't give highest satellite internet and it was as bad as DSL. So I'm generally happy with
The installers installed it and several days later came back and explained the service in more detail when I didn't understand the way to restart it. Since then it has worked well. If the internet service goes out, I know which switch to turn off and to turn back on. It has always come back on.
They were on time to start changing over from TWC Internet service to Frontier Internet service. It took about 2 hours. The installer was friendly and informed me what he was doing and what was happening while he was doing it. Picked up after himself and left his number incase anything happened that needed to be fixed.
The entire installation process went very well. The technician was friendly, very courteous and professional. He did an excellent job of installing the equipment with minimal debris. He also wrapped up my old equipment and stacked it neatly on the side of the room for me to return.
Internet and land line stopped at about 1:30pm mtn. Tech. was at house within one and a half hours, actually very good for rural New Mexico (any rural), they were in area. New Fiber optics were being installed in area and lines to homes were cut. Fiber will not actually go to homes for two or more years, far behind neighboring Texas. Seems wrong that we are required to pay a high price for land line in order to have a little speed on the internet.
We switched to their cell service and purchased new phones from them to save $ and have had nothing but problems with dropped calls from day 1. They tried replacing one phone and it was no better so they sent us back the original and told us to reset it. That didn't work. They sent us new cards for the phones, etc and nothing worked. We then asked for a refund on the phones (since we can't use them with any other carrier) and were told we had the phones more than 45 days so we couldn't return them - even though we had been in constant contact with them regarding our problems. I asked to speak to someone in corporate and they refused to give me a phone #. Very rude people that I talked with also.
NOTE" BBB has had 371 complaints in the last 3 years about their service (or lack of it)
Also, I do not know where their headquarters are but just entered my zip since it was required.
NOTE" BBB has had 371 complaints in the last 3 years about their service (or lack of it)

It went well. I have 2.25 bps. It is nearly $60/mo. only for the ISP. Phone is extra and is a must. They have optic cable all over the place and offer TV cable. Right now I have DirecTV and I'm considering satellite internet. There is no competiton other than dialup if that is still offered in this day and age. 2.25 bps is too slow to stream TV and chokes on audio once in a while.
Prior to moving here, I had
Prior to moving here, I had
these people were great, service was terrific, very rare that you lost service, extremely helpful & pleasant when dealing with them on the phone etc. only problem was they just provided local service in central Nebraska
It fixed the problem for about two days. We then began having outages lasting anywhere from five minutes to an hour or more. The outages occurred almost every day of the week. I answered yes to tho the question, "Would you use this provider in the future?" as there is no other provider available in the remote region of where I reside. If there were, I would most certainly switch.
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
Try an annual plan and if you want to cancel in your first year, we'll refund you 110%
