There are many ways to support Woman's Hospital. Your gift provides critical services and programs for women and babies in our community. Read More »
What can happen when a child is willing to make a difference? Find out as Woman's celebrate the fundraising efforts of Joey Roth, the child responsible for the Jar for Change project. A donation ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5 at 9:00 AM in the Woman's Hospital NICU Waiting Room where Joey will present a check to the department.
Joey began fundraising in 2013 in the name of the physician who delivered him, Dr. Ann LaFranca, after hearing stories from his father of how great she was during his birth. He put Jar for Change bottles in local business asking for left over change. Joey's goal was to "make a difference in the world," and his efforts weren't in vain, rallying as many participants and donators as possible over the last 10 months.
Because of these efforts, Joey now has the opportunity to donate $5000 to the NICU, and that donation will go towards a Three Phase project called "Joey Time" that will benefit the department and its patients.
The plan is to pilot a program to include the following:
Because of Joey's hard work and the community's support, Woman's can take the first step in setting up programs that will increase communication for our smallest patients and their families.

Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors Sunday November 7 6:00 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Nat'l TV: Radio: WWJ 950 AM Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
Maybe our last win can give our players some strenght and SELF confidence.. I want to see Monroe go for 30 minutes tonight.. It's not a game for CV or Maxiell with Lee and Biedrins under the basket
Stuckey playing really well (again) tonight. I already love how he and Gordon play their games well together. Now I'm seeing that Stuckey and Monroe are a really good combination as well. One thing about Monroe that I'm starting to appreciate is that he has great hands. Stuckey driving in the interior is starting to look for Monroe when Stuck is driving the lane. That's going to really open up Stuckey's game as will Gordon, Daye and CV being big time 3 pt threats.
Stuck looked really good out there minus that last play. Lots of driving and dishing. Hopefully he can keep it up. Good to see him have a strong 2nd half (as opposed to the norm). I'm still not buying into the small-ball lineup we go with at times. Usually everyone on the floor is a perimeter-only scorer except for Rodney in those lineups, and they're prone to going cold. One of these guys is just going to have to watch from the sidelines at times. Greg needs a FT coach. And a "finishing" coach. Guys are going to stop passing to him if he doesn't finish off the play. You can already see it from some of the older guys. Quick! Trade Rip! Sell High! Sell High!
Pistons win! I like Monroe more and more for every game even though he's got a chance on the all time blocked shots record. This will improve as he gets used to playing against big NBA guys and he will adapt. On this team he cannot get enough minutes. And Big Ben looks like he's done when playing to many minutes. The highlight of the game was seeing the Joggernaught raise his head and throw out the ball to an open Bengo while penetrating.
Wes Unseld was only 6'7"...Bill Laimbeer shot jumbers....kids today dont study 'the game' like back in the day BUT they wanna come in the league and get PAID like a vet. So none of this 'will get better' junk! Get hard,MONROE and man up!
Great win by the Pistons who find themselves with a 2 game win streak and tied for 4th in the division with the Bucs.. and have moved up to the 24th best team record wise instead of being in tied for last a couple of days ago with the Rockets... Rip and Stuckey started and it was their best paring since ....who knows when...27 pts for the supposed lame duck Rip who hit many key buckets scoring 18 points in the second half and all five of his FT....only bad was hos 5 TO's. Stuckey played great and must have learned something doing his sit down. He made the right decisions, dishing out 9 assists to go with his 21 pts, including a nice three in crunch time. CV also had a great game, scoring 16 on a pair of threes and grabbed 10 boards. Gordon seemed to be stifled scoring wise coming off the bench, but he did score 7 pts dished out 6 assists and for the first time in awhile, had no TO's. TMac's time was limited today and did not figure that much in todays game. Tay scored a couple of buckets at the end of the half and hit a key bucket here and there in the second. Ben was initially shut out on the boards as Biedrens was pretty much cleaning the glass in the first qtr before he got in foul trouble, David Lee took over for him. but alas Ben played D when he could and still finished with 9 boards. He let G.Mon be the butt of jokes at the FT line as the rookie was awful shooting free throws at 1-7. He also missed a bunch a bunnies again as he failed to finish around the hoop and was blocked at least once. He grabbed six boards and had a key steal and assist in the closing minutes but has to better if he expects to move in the starting lineup. Daye once again was in foul trouble 5 mins into the game but still improved his shooting going 4/5 from the field. Monta Ellis we hope will be the fastest human the Pistons will face this season...the league leading scorer was held below his average, but still put a scare in the Piston faithful as they hung on to a 3 pt lead with just 13 seconds left in the game...Rip iced it with 2 FT after Step Curry missed a potential game tying three pointer. Dorell Wright looked good out there for the Warriors too hitting from both the inside and out. Great win to send the Pistons out on the west coast trip with.
Well, I will start with the most important topic first. One I see nobody else mentioning. Rip's game style change. 27 points, few coming off somebody setting a screen for him, with him running himself ragged to use that screen. Yes, Rip had 5 turns, but I will take it along with all the points he got going inside. At the free throw line and otherwise. Rip also hit some outside shots, set up by good ball movement, often off one of our guards going inside. Bynum and Gordon had a combined 10-1 assist to turnover ratio in this game. And Stuckey just missed a 20-10 game by one assist. Yep, Rip got the start - but we are playing Ben Gordon style of basketball on O. A lot of going inside. And a ton of scoring off that. The ways the game should be played. Good stuff. For once, at least on game strategy, got to give it up for Q tonight. Good job. Gordon did not start, but don't feel sorry for him. He got plenty of minutes, and very instrumental in this win with both a bit of scoring and all those assists. Bynum, jury still out on the guy. He is showing signs of getting healthy again. Look at the way he went up for that bound. Can't be hurting too much if he can get up that high. I hope he improves yet with some playing time and more healing in regards to his defense. It just has to get better. Him out there, combined with CV not being active enough around the basket meant their guards scored way way too easy. Gordon did not help in that regard either. As a matter of fact, with TMAC being hobbled up some tonight, Monroe at one point was the only guy out there who could play any D at all, and he is just a rookie so even that did not help us much. GS scored 48 points inside. Too much. Yes, we did shore up a lot of leaks by crunch time. CV played center at crunch time. I am ok with that as far as defense. Believe it or not, with his combination of length, and slow feet, center is more suited to him. As a power forward he is expected to rotate and he just can't. Yeah, a lot of small ball, especially at the end. Don't like it but I will note GS was going small, and the combination of Stuckey, Rip, and Gordon ain't that short. No Jason Maxiell. Still don't know if that is to let the knee heal - or for some other reason. Some people think its just Monroe taking his minutes. But until this team quits giving up nearly half the points inside I won't say Monroe is the answer. Speaking of what is not the answer. Daye playing power forward meant pretty much he only can play power forward, because he has to foul to stop the opposing bigs. No fouls left over. Daye starting at power forward just does not work. In this game, we had precious few mismatches to exploit compared to what could be if we ran some taller gaurds out there. Daye still managed to have a decent game with some shots made and a lot of good D under the circumstances. I will compliment the coach though on leaving Daye out there until he had picked up his 5th fouls. This was good since it kept CV off the floor a bit. Coach tends to play CV way too much in a stretch. Better coaching there tonight. The whole team gets praise for sharing the ball. A ton of assists, with nobody every worrying about there own stats. Each player took the shots that came to them from the crisp ball movement. Bragging rights. Got to feel good to have a team with guards that outplayed the opposing guards when that team has guards like Curry and Ellis. (Althogh I will temper that with the fact that no, our team should not be that pourous inside to allow that easy of scoring from Ellis, quick as he is or not.) Tay did a bit of everthing, as usual. Coach kept his minutes to something approaching right tonight too, and this on a night when TMAC did not play that much. Matter of fact Rip was the only guy to get seriously large minutes, and hey, with him not tiring himself out all night running off screen after screen, I am absolutely sure he can handle high minutes. When the play was in front of CV, on defense, he did ok. Again, its just that he does not move well on D. So I say, don't ask him to move much. Monroe got a bit nervous at the line tonight, missing his first 6 I believe before making one. Just nerves, I would guess since he has shown he both has an outside shot and can make free throws. He surely would have been a whole lot more effective tonight if he had made those. But I will take all the fouls he drew, and he did manage to score a few buckets inside. And as someone already mentioned, what about that assist. Monroe helps create then complete a steal, dribbles the ball about half the way the length of the court, and hits Rip perfectly for a fast break score. This guy moves well, with and without the ball, can shoot the ball, has height to spare, and just moves quick as the dickens. He will only get better and better with more confidence. CV continues to hit outside shots, but now for 3 games has been concentrating on scoring inside. (And the game before that too, although it bore no fruit. At least the seeds got planted though. I felt it helped lose that one game, but hey, one game ain't squat if he can keep that inside game in gear. That inside game of his can help win us a ton of games if he gets its up to his best - which is very, very good. They said that TMAC tore some scar tissue. Had TMAC worried, but apparently it was expected and really no problem. I do not know if him getting pulled tonight was related to that. Hopefully, its just a discomfort thing and will not carry forward past tonight. Hopefully. A trend of getting a low number of turns is happening for the Pistons of late. And this combined with playing the right way - hey, I guess the coaches are doing something right. And we beat our first winning team. Maybe team confidence will carry over into this West trip. Portland Tuesday. Another change. Big Ben Wallace did not come into the game for the last of the game. Apparently, no more entitlement minutes. Lets hope at least.
good caps dre, lee, thanx but: close games vs bottom dwellers, no big deal. But it is better than nothing.
Two wins in a row against two teams that play two VERY different styles. (yeah, I know, two pretty sucky teams, but hey) Good redemption game by Helen Keller.
What the Bobcats and Warriors have in common is that they can't score inside with their bigs. That is what hurts the Pistons because teams go at CCG 1 on 1 and he can't stop them. Playing he and Monroe as a tandem has helped them when they have gone to the 3 guard lineup these last 2 games. I think Kuester deserves a lot of credit for the Pistons improved ball movement because it is happening across the board no matter who is playing. Monroe is looking better and better. Ben has really taken to the mentor role with the young fella as his free throws attest. Hit them D boards please. He looked spry a few times hitting the O glass and going to the rim. Rascoe and his "man love" thread managed to do what no team had done so far and slow down Gordon. It took me at least half the game to fully understand that the Pistons weren't playing the Knicks. David Lee was killing me.
Bierdens and Lee are both guys who can hurt you inside - especially Lee. But mostly I agree with your point. We are at least a year or two of development of Monroe and Daye, and whoever we acquire in trade and/or in the draft, and the return to health of JJ, away from being the kind of defensive team we need to be to compete at the level we want. There will be a lot of down moments this season - no way to avoid that IMO.
Great game to watch. It looked like the Palace had quite a few empty seats....the days of sellouts are long gone. Rodney showed his maturity by responding well to the benching. Monroe looked good...really nice pass on a 2 on 1 late in the game...he got stuffed on a set shot near the foul line. I think I could jump higher than Monroe. The Ben Gordon man love thread was for sure a bad idea.

WILMINGTON -- The Wilmington Police Department is mailing out postcards to some drivers in certain areas of the city.
The postcards are not to say hello, they're to warn people who might be hanging out in high crime areas that Wilmington police officers are watching them.
About half a dozen postcards have been mailed out since last week. Some have gone to cars registered to the persons spouse or parents.
WPD Sgt. Matt Ingram "When mom and dad realize what's going on it's not going to say this person was charged with any crime but the car they pay for has been seen in a known narcotics market. "
Police hope the postcards deter people from buying or selling drugs in some areas which are known for having high crime.
Some of the areas police are targeting are near Ann and 11th Streets and Orange and 13th Streets in downtown Wilmington.

Audience Reviews for Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury
Watching the original was the best thing that ever happen to me and seeing how very important the "Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon" short was, I was surprised when Dreamworks Animation made another holiday special only this time with our main heroes from the first film. It has the same depth and emotion the original had when it managed to make a gap between the movie and the upcoming TV show on cartoon network in 2012 with a holiday theme.
The character development is one of the greatest aspects that made the story so original. The interactions between the vikings and the dragons were easy and likable. The only thing that stood out though was Hiccup and Toothless's bond (that showed how much closer they are becoming) and the relationship between Hiccup and Astrid worked perfectly well as well as the interactions/chemistry with feelings of comfort and warmth.
The baby dragons were so lovable they would make you go "awww" as it gave both the Vikings and Dragons to bond over with. I loved the ending where the Vikings are still attached to the dragons. The animation kept the movie to its speed and had the same level of detailed surroundings and movement the same thing the original did. "Gift of the Night Fury" is a heartwarming holiday special with an original story and it made us all love Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and the rest of the characters on Berk and it's worth watching for fans of the original.

The Beast is back
Jon Parkin has returned to Cardiff after his loan spell at Doncaster.
Parkin started four matches for Donny and was a sub in another. He didn't score but they have moved off the bottom of the table with two wins and a draw in his time there.
Parkin's two games for Cardiff this season were both in the Carling Cup and he is eligable for tomorrow evening's game against Burnley.
His return will come in handy as both Rudy Gestede and Kenny Miller are out injured.

Ever year a crystalline palace rises proudly as a celebration of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival in upstate New York. The 10-day festival includes sports, performances, parades and spectacular fireworks, but the Ice Palace is without a doubt the main attraction. Made by volunteers over a period of two weeks, the frozen architectural piece is constructed from 400-pound ice blocks harvested from Lake Flower's shore.
In the early days the ice blocks were cut by horses pulling an ice "plow" back and forth. These days power saws and machines are employed for the initial deep ice cuts and finished off manually with antique ice saws. The mighty fortress will be finished by February the 1, 2014 and will feature ice furniture and glittering sculptures among tunnels, dragons and mazes, all within this year's Celtic Theme.

Second, a good politician needs to know how to unify the nation and even, dare I say it, compromise with the opposition. Politics is at its heart the art of compromise. Nothing more, nothing less. The trick is knowing when to compromise and on what. Obama has shown little ability in this area. His radical legislative proposals – including massive stimulus spending and constitutionally doubtful health-care legislation – have helped charge Washington with an air of hostility and rancor on a scale rarely seen. This is not good politics. And it's not good compromise.
And love it or hate it, Cain's 9-9-9 plan won't foster the spirit of compromise either. It is just too radical – Obama-style radical. Even if you think this plan is brilliant, which I don't, you can't escape the fact that it would turn Washington into a war zone if it were presented to Congress as a serious legislative proposal. Cain's campaigning on such a divisive platform (even conservatives can't agree on whether or not the 9-9-9 plan is a good thing) has shown me that he will likely promote further division and will therefore accomplish very little. He will be yet another polarizing influence contributing to the deadlock that currently paralyzes Washington.
Finally, I find it worrisome that Cain's campaign is largely marketing driven instead of issues oriented – just like Obama's presidential campaign in 2008. "Hope and change," Obama delivered with a smile, and America swooned. What kind of change, nobody bothered to ask. It sounded so wonderful, it had to be right. Well, as many Americans have now seen, this wasn't quite the case.

But Gabriel Odima says the two Colorado men who are suing him are the ones in the wrong. Odima has filed a counterclaim asking that the lawsuit be dismissed.
Gabriel Odima, an Anglican priest who runs GK Consulting Services in Roseville, says he's trying to help developing nations by providing low-cost vehicles to governments, churches, charities and community projects.
But a St. Paul attorney for two Colorado men who tried to buy vehicles for a charity in Sudan says Odima is nothing but a scam artist who takes money from his unsuspecting victims and doesn't deliver the goods.
A lawsuit filed Monday in Ramsey County District Court alleges that Vakindi L. Unvu of Denver and Ukuni Paulino of Commerce City, Colo., paid Odima and GK Consulting Services more than $36,000 for 12 vehicles. The lawsuit said the men traveled to Kenya and Uganda in October and November 2009 "based on false promises" that the vehicles would be shipped there.
"Defendants failed to deliver a single automobile that plaintiffs paid for," the suit said. "... Plaintiffs are just the latest victims in a scheme perpetrated by defendants to defraud individuals and companies around the world."
Odima said those allegations are "total misinformation based on fabrications." He and his attorney, Ken Schivone of Roseville, said the Colorado men signed a contract to buy 45 vehicles for a total of $185,000. That contract said that no vehicles would be shipped until full payment was made.
GK Consulting agreed to a six-month payment plan and the Colorado men defaulted after a couple of months, Odima and Schivone said. Odima said the men are welcome to cancel the contract, pay a penalty and receive a refund of the money they've already paid. Instead, he said, they have sued him.
Odima said he has operated GK Consulting Services for about 10 years and guessed that he has shipped 600 to 700 vehicles overseas. He also is executive director of the Africa Center for Peace and Democracy in Roseville.
A counterclaim, asking that the lawsuit be dismissed, has been delivered to the plaintiffs, Schivone said. It said that GK acquires vehicles from dealers in Japan at greatly reduced prices. GK pays cash to the dealers, which then ship the vehicles. The dealers will not ship the vehicles until they are paid in full.
The Colorado men's lawsuit said nothing about a contract for 45 vehicles for $185,000. It said that in February 2009, they entered into an oral contract to buy two vehicles. In March, April and June, there were three more oral contracts to buy 10 more vehicles. The men planned to have seven of the vehicles shipped to Africa to provide transportation in southern Sudan. They planned to sell the other five to raise money for a school project in Wau, Sudan.
The men paid a total of $36,155 for the 12 vehicles, the suit said. None was delivered. It also said Odima and GK Consulting agreed to pay for the men's travel expenses to Africa but never did.
The lawsuit accuses Odima and his business of fraud, consumer fraud and breach of contract. It asks for the standard "in excess of $50,000."
Perry de Stefano, the plaintiffs' attorney, said Odima also defrauded three Catholic dioceses in Tanzania by taking their money and delivering no vehicles. They also sued and won a $76,000 judgment against him in federal court.

There's a place where seasonal workers park bikes bought for use over the summer. The bikes are often abandoned after they leave.
Whenever one of the tires goes flat, someone cuts the inner tube off the rim with scissors (indicating a bit of pre planning) and steals it. Sometimes they come back and cut the little bit left after they stole the main part of the tube.
What the heck is going on?

UPDATE: Kindergartener Says School Didn't Let Her Eat
POSTED: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 - 1:34pm
UPDATED: Thursday, November 4, 2010 - 12:38pm
EL PASO - An Omar Bradley Kindergartener we told you about last week is back in school and with another teacher.
As we reported last Friday, the girl's parents said their daughter wasn't allowed to eat lunch because she was a few minutes late to morning class.
The parents say they have met with the EPISD Superintendent. They tell us the teacher was reprimanded, but district officials have not confirmed that.
Comments News Comments
This is outrageous and I believe that it really happened. Some teachers shouldn't even be around children, especially younger aged children. I say this because I have 4 children & although they are all grown up and out of school I experienced difficulty with several teachers through out their elementary school years and middle school and high school. What I noticed and it still stands out in my mind is that most of these teachers didn't have any childen of their own.
We will probably never know the truth.

…to provide enriching opportunities in mathematics, engineering and science for underrepresented students in grades K-14 using exemplary materials and instructional approaches.
We will be a catalyst and model for educational excellence and equity. We will accomplish this through a partnership of higher education, school districts, industry and business, government, community organizations, families, and alumni.
MESA's efforts are directed toward Washington K-14 students. Through MESA's activities, participating students receive educational enrichment experiences and practical help needed to prepare for university-level studies in a variety of science and technology related fields.
Washington MESA programs address the need as stated by the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME):
"Effective precollege minority engineering programs enrich the student and community by intervening in the cycle of minority isolation, low self esteem, low teacher expectations and poor academic performance. They counter the underdevelopment of minority students with strategies designed to break down the obstacles to achievement in scientific and technological fields."

I always read about how well these guys from Verizon knew their stuff (LOL). So we go to Verizon and was looking to decide on which phone to get my son. He does not need anything great so we tossed around the idea of a cheaper phone or going with the Samsung Galaxy S III or the Maxx, and a few others. The sales person steered us away from all others besides the Samsung Galaxy S III. ( He stated he had the Maxx but wanted the Galaxy) Both their Galaxy displays had been stolen but he tried his best to explain all about it. I told my wife to pull out her Galaxy S III. He seemed shocked when he realized we had one. He talked about how this phone was so great because it had a quad core processor and not the dual core like my Maxx. I told him it did not have a quad core, that only the ones overseas had the quad core. I explained I thought it had something to do with the Quad core not being compatible with 4G (I know thats not stated properly but I read something like that a few weeks ago) but we argued for a few minutes with him more or less saying I was completly wrong. I told him I would bet him paychecks. By this time he went to go grab his tablet and was dead set on proving me wrong. When he finally got it pulled up I showed him he was wrong. Then he said oh, I meant it had a Qualcomm processor. REALLY?? He then went on to say that it had the same battery as the Maxx. I once again argued with him, Going over the differences. He once again stated I was wrong and that the Galaxi S III would last just as long as the Maxx. After I showed him he was wrong once again he stated I know for sure they have the same amount of standby time and talk time. By this time the wifey was so mad at me for argueing with him. I simply explained that if he was going to sell us on a phone he should dam well know what he is talking about. He had stated something early on in the discussion (I can't remember what) and I corrected him. From there is just went down hill LOL!! Sorry for the RANT!!
I find a similar situation with most things. I will say my wife's S3 will go a long time in battery saver mode. Not as long as RazrMaxx. It will easily outperform my Nexus.
Verizon employees are idiots (hey I'm being nice, believe it or not LOL). I've had my issues with them, specifically Verizon, not Verizon Wireless. I'm on the triple plan (LAN Phone+FiOS Internet+FiOS TV) plus a family mobile plan. Would you believe, most of them have no concept as to how a CableCard works? I had to explain it to them, they looked it up in the computer and finally "got it". They told me to call their Plus store or whatever it is to order one, so I did and have had one for a while. You save a LOT of money if you don't mind working with a wireless network and Windows Media Center versus a Multi-Room DVR. Oh, and I couldn't even tell you how many times I've tried to make one little change on their dysfunctional website to our plan which apparently took us out of the triple plan, when all I was trying to do was add a channel or something like that. True story though, my grandparents were over about 2 1/2 years ago. I think my grandfather was fiddling with the remote (he's in his 80s and has no concept of today's technology, period), and recently, I was combing through the bill, and noticed that there was a charge on it called "here!". I'm thinking what the hell is this? I should clarify, I live with my mother because she's widowed (dad had a heart attack) so I more or less stay there to watch over her. She never wanted my help until recently I got more aggressive on the situation. Little did I know that she had been subscribing to a gay porn channel for about 2 1/2 years. The description of "here!" is obviously very anonymous, and I guess I can understand why. However, at the time, I had also ordered a service for multi-room DVR, which that's what I first thought "here!" was. That said, well, be careful who you let press buttons on your TV. Give a little kid an iPad and an iTunes account and the same thing can happen, they just press buttons and have no concept of what's going on. Despite a letter of complaint my mom filed, Verizon would not refund her the, roughly $200.
If you're going to argue with someone in front of your spouse, it's always nice when you turn out to be right. :biggrin:
I bought my son the Samsung nexus and it kept loosing the phone signal. Within 10 hours I took it back to a verizon store and asked to simply exchange out the nexus for the s3. Of course I was willing to pay the extra money to buy the better phone . They said they could not wave to 35.00 restocking fee that the corporate office said could be waved by the mgr The employee was not nice and even went so far as to say Its only $35.00 so just pay it. I called the corporate office after I repeatedly asked to speak to an manager and one would not come. The corporate office listened in a little and after a while the manager came over and offered to waive the fee. I told the corporate office this and they Said they should have waived it from the beginning. We have literally spent around $1700 dollars (if you include phones and monthly bills) in the last 5 months with them and they wanted to argue over 35.00. Not a good way to keep a customer of 12 years!
To be fair, I'll tell the other side of the coin. My parents were moving and my dad needed to get a new phone for his new job so so they asked me to go with them so they weren't upsold. My dad settled on the iPhone (bleh) and we went to check out. The guy I spoke with was incredibly nice, straight forward, and knowledgeable (a first for me). He didn't try to sell my dad anything more than a case which I agreed he needed considering his work environment. He showed him how to use his iPhone and even gave my dad his number that he can call directly if he had any more questions. He also noticed my Nexus and asked if I was rooted. I said yes and he asked what platform I was running. I told him jelly bean and he got incredibly jealous and just had to play with my phone. He and I talked for an additional 30 minutes after the sale. It was a pleasure to buy from him and I would not hesitate again in the future. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I am glad you had a great experience at verizon. Their track record with me in the past couple months have left a very sour taste in my mouth. My two instances happened in two separate stores. The first guy was very nice, he just over exaggerated the features on a phone. The second guy simply should not have a job at verizon. At one point when he yelled across the room its only 35.00 so just pay it, the wife got mad and yelled back at him. He came back and stated something like you guys need to calm down, I can't have all 5 of you yelling at me. My 17 year old son is autistic and never said one word. My other sons girlfriend never said anything, my 23 year old son stopped talking when the idiot said the sim card needs replaced and that was the problem. I made sure he knew myself and my wife was the only ones who actually yelled and that was after he yelled across the room just pay the $35.00 fee. His manager refused to step in even after he knew there was a problem. That's two separate stores with different issues both of which never should have happened. I never posted about a month ago at another store where they just insisted we switch to the tiered plan even after they showed me it was going to cost us $20.00 more a month and both my wife and son would lose their unlimited plans..
You must not spend much time on this website because you certainly would not have read that here. Lol! *Sent from my Galaxy to yours through tapatalk
Issue is training on new phone/tablets coming out. Other issue is some do not want to learn about products they sell. These are the biggest issues in my opinion. However, this is not everyone at vzw, some take the time to learn everything about new hot devices before they get them in the store. But these people are very few and far between. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
They are few and far between because they probably get fired for taking too long with a customer making sure they get the right phone for them and explaining it to them instead of selling them whatever gets the salesperson the biggest commission and kicking them out the door.
I had a vzw rep tell me that the Galaxy Nexus had different software than the rebound and S3. As opposed to explaining htc sence, touchwiz, and stock Android to her, I just smiled and nodded. I'll be damned if I'm going to train their reps for free. Especially since I have to pay a $30 UPGRADE FEE because of all the time these reps are going to have to take out of their day to teach me how to use my phone and try to tell me how important it is to use a task killer to save battery life. *Sent from my Galaxy to yours through tapatalk

I've been looking at the reports that show our busiest locations in Europe and thought we should run a series of posts on the ones you use most – where to find our offices there, and any other tips we can give you. In New Zealand I travelled through several airports, and noticed they all have different layouts, which means finding your way around can be difficult. So I'm starting with Heathrow, one of our most popular offices.
Picking up from Heathrow
Heathrow Airport has four terminals, with Terminal 5 opening in 2008, and we have rental desks in each one. The main car hire centre, where you go to collect your vehicle, is based on the edge of the airport, a short courtesy bus ride away.
Your booking details are held on our central computer, so if you've made a reservation we'll have everything to hand whichever terminal you come to. The staff at the terminal rental desks will process your paperwork and tell you the exact location of your car at the main car hire centre. For more about what to bring, see my post on 'The perfect car pick-up'.
Avis at Heathrow gets very busy, as you'd expect, so if there's a queue you can opt to go straight to the buses and our staff at the car hire centre will process your paperwork there.
The courtesy buses take between five and 10 minutes. They leave from outside the terminals and there are signs to show you where to catch them, but if in doubt, the staff at the Avis desk can point you in the right direction. We can also help wheelchair users.
Returning your car to Heathrow
All cars come back to the main car hire centre, which is well signposted – click here for map and directions. Our Rapid Return agents check over the car and give you a receipt, after which we guarantee there'll be no further charges. The courtesy buses will then take you to the terminal you need for your flight.
For more tips on returning your car, see Eibhlin's post on the subject.
If you have any insights of your own on renting at Heathrow or finding your way around, please share them with other travellers by posting a comment. And if there are any locations you'd like us to cover in future, tell us about them here too.

The 10 Best Movies About News ReportersMay 26, 2009
Popular Products in Movies
The Bottom Line The definitive list of Hollywood's TEN BEST, all-time greatest movies about reporters, news professionals, and journalists. The Top 10 Reporter Films of All Time!
Journalists, newspapermen, reporters, columnists, and foreign correspondents. They make the headlines and print All the News that's Fit to Print. Hollywood cinema has always had a love affair with the news reporters and there are dozens of excellent films about the writers who report the news. Here is my list of the 10 best, greatest, most excellent news reporter films in the history of cinema. Hope you enjoy it! ******** TOP 10 FILMS ABOUT NEWS REPORTERS ****** As always, I count them UP! 1. All the Presidents Men (1976) Reporters: Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) This is a hybrid between a political crime documentary and a biopic on the two famous Washington Post reporters who dug into the infamous Watergate burglaries that occurred prior to the 1972 presidential election, and that were eventually traced directly to the White House where all fingers pointed to Richard Nixon and his staff. The break-in itself proved to be but the tip of the iceberg in Republican party dirty politics, illegal activities, and outright corruption. This is the kind of movie that reveals how important solid journalism is to a free society, and the immense peril that true freedom faces today as newspaper circulation declines and people get "news" from non-authoritative sources that lack resources and professionalism to do serious investigative journalism. ------------- 2. Foriegn Correspondent (1940) Reporter: Johnny Jones (Joel McCrea) There's big stories in Europe as Hitler rises in power, but the European correspondents currently on the scene aren't getting to the guts of the stories: they don't pack a punch, and they don't sell newspapers. So the editor of the New York Globe comes up with a plan: he'll send an exciting young crime beat reporter to Europe to spice things up. Once there, reporter Jones interviews a diplomat who suddenly turns up missing. Hooking up with the hot-looking daughter of a peace movement leader and tracking down the missing diplomat, in spite of a labyrinthine plot filled with constant danger, unbelieving police and the looming threat of global war, the truth shall be uncovered. A Hitchock classic! ------------- 3. The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) Reporter: Guy Hamilton (Mel Gibson) Action-packed drama of revolution in the Phillippines as budding young news corespondent Guy Hamilton (Gibson) gets sent to replace a retiring veteran. After some initial rough spots, he gets a boost from Billy (Linda Hunt). Romantic entanglements and political subterfuge ensue. Chinese commies are running guns to Phillippine rebels... sounds like the perfect time for sparks of romance to ignite. Hunt is brilliant as Billy, the conniving, complex, marvelously savvy, and deliciously ethical Indonesian whose character contrasts brilliantly with the selfishness of Hamilton. The magic of this film is all about the relationship between Gibson and Hunt. ------------- 4. The Passenger (aka, Professione: Reporter) (1975) Reporter: David Locke (Jack Nicholson) David Locke is a foreign correspondent in Africa, hating life while covering a guerrilla war in Africa. At least that's who he is until he finds a dead man at his hotel. Stealing the unfortunate stiff's ID, belongings and appointment book, Locke "disappears" and assumes the identity of the dead man. It's a slow movie, and an unusually quiet role for a big presence like Nicholson, but the slow-building suspense is magnificent. This is often regarded as director Michaelangelo Antonioni's finest work. ------------- 5. Superman (1978) Mild Mannered Reporter: Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) Superman's father, Jor-El, shunned by the council on Krypton, sends his baby son to the distant planet Earth, six galaxies away. The baby's starship crash-lands on the Kent's family farm, whereupon the Kents adopt the young infant as their own, naming him Clark. He discovers his powers as a teen, eventually moving off to Metropolis, where disguised as a mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, he'll fight a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. (And he'll start doing that by conquering Lex Luthor --- the self-styled world's greatest criminal mastermind.) Can Superman thwart Luthor's evil plans? ------------- 6. Bruce Almighty (2003) Reporter: Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) Bruce Nolan is not a happy camper. As a reporter, he's handed mediocre assignments like the baking of a giant cookie and the anniversary of the Maid of the Mist at Niagra Falls. Meanwhile, rival reporter, Evan Backstabber, lands juicy assignment and a juicy news anchor job. Bruce blames God. God decides to teach Bruce a little lesson in humility with hilarious consequences, including the epic parting of a bowl of tomato soup and a little bit of poetic justice. Great cast: Morgan Freeman is a sublime God. Jennifer Aniston and Catherine Bell are both hot looking. And Steve Carell is outstanding as Evan. ------------- 7. Sweet Smell of Success (1957) Reporter: J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) This is such a slickly stylish film of a gritty New York, where newspaperman J.J. Hunsecker makes and breaks careers with a good word or a bad word in his biting columns. When a talented jazz musician decides that Hunsecker's sister looks mighty fine to him, Hunsecker and press agent Falco (Tony Curtis) do whatever it takes to discredit him. If they can't do it through mere slander, then framing the guy with the help of a corrupt police officer will do the trick. (Unless of course the deception should be discovered, then all bets would be off.) Listen to the dialog on this one....it's got the kind of staccato rhythm of some of the best Bogart flicks of the 40s and both Lancaster and Curtis are brilliantly rotten to the core. ------------- 8. The Killing Fields (1984) Reporter: Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) This is a brutal movie depicting one of the most brutal periods in history, the rise of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, where millions of people were slaughtered in the name of re-education and "purity". The brutality is told through the eyes of a journalistic interpreter (Dith Pran) to Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times journalist, Sidney Schanberg. Pran makes it possible for Schanberg and other western journalists to escape the tyranny of Khmer Rouge, though he himself must face terrifying hardship with no reasonable hope of escape. (Haing Ngor, who had never before acted, took home an Oscar for his role as Pran). ------------- 9. Absence of Malice (1981) Reporter: Megan Carter (Sally Field) Reporter Megan Carter is manipulated. First, by scheming police officials then by the man they want to set up. Police have nothing but a big fat nothing to go on in their search for a murder suspect, so they arrange for a leak to happen. A false leak, as it turns out, and naive reporter Carter eats it up. She prints a false story, maligning Gallagher (Paul Newman), an honest liquor dealer (as if there could be any other kind). She later compounds the damage by maligning an honest, gentle-spirited friend of Gallagher's. The lawyers say Gallagher is not entitled to justice, but perhaps there is a way to at least get satisfaction. Sally Field's character is a bit of a scumbag, but this is a memorable role for Newman! ------------- 10. Broadcast News (1987) Reporter: Tom Grunnick (William Hurt) This is a stylish film that's more about personalities and superficialities than it is about journalism per se. In a TV newsroom, we meet the ambitious (Holly Hunter), the dedicated (Albert Brooks), and the image (William Hurt)...not to mention the smug and pretentious (Jack Nicholson). Changes are in the works. The movie seems a bit dated in an era when broadcast news has been marginalized by media outlets (cable and internet) with even lower standards than the ridiculous superficiality of television, but such is the insanity of our age. ***************** There you have it! Ten of my favorite reporter movies of all time. Got another one (and I don't mean "Fletch") that you think should have been included?? Drop me a comment....I just love chatting films! |

GM Plans 230 Million-Euro Car-Research Center Expansion
April 24 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Co., the world's second-biggest carmaker, plans to spend 230 million euros ($299 million) on a model-development center for its Opel and Vauxhall brands as part of its effort to restore profit in Europe.
Spending will be focused on adding testing facilities at its research center at Opel's headquarters in the Frankfurt suburb of Ruesselsheim, and on its proving ground in Dudenhofen, Germany, the Detroit-based manufacturer said in a statement today. The budget is in addition to an investment plan of 4 billion euros through 2016 for new cars and engines announced earlier this month, said Ulrich Weber, an Opel spokesman.
GM's European operations have accumulated $18 billion in losses since 1999, and the company has a target for the business to break even by 2015. In addition to a cost-reduction program that involves shutting a plant in Germany, GM's European revival strategy includes introducing 23 models and 13 engines through 2016 to regain market share.
Combined new car registrations in March by Opel and Vauxhall dropped 10 percent in Europe, about equal to the regional market contraction. The European car industry is heading into its sixth straight year of sales declines, and deliveries may reach a 20-year low.
"The development done at Ruesselsheim will be on engines and transmissions for Europe and the rest of the world," Opel Chief Executive Officer Karl-Thomas Neumann said in the statement. "This move will give us global responsibility in engine development."
The management and the more than 6,000 employees at the Ruesselsheim development center also agreed to more flexible working conditions, Opel said.

Nakoma - Unregistered April 22, 2011 10:30 AM Went to see this the other day took the whole family. They all loved it and thought it was great. Admittedly we are all bike fans but thought they made a really great job. It showed a balanced view of the TT good and the bad. Would recommend anyone who's in to bikes to watch it. Will be buying the DVD as there were bits that could really have done with rewinding and watching a few times. Conner Cummins and Guys crash both looked horrific in the film. 3 agree 0 disagree
buelliful - Unregistered April 22, 2011 11:21 AM Totally agree Nakoma, I went to see it on Wednesday and a few friends who aren't bike fans also saw it and said it was a "very good film". I thought it was excellent and it's gone to the top of my wish list when it comes out on disc. My only gripe was that the 3D aspect wasn't all that great. It won't lose anything going to 2D on television. Fantastic, gripping stuff though. Highly recommend it! 1 agree 0 disagree
st ninians - Unregistered April 22, 2011 11:23 AM The TT is exhilerating a spectacle that should not be missed,there will always be those whom knock this event but dont understand the reason why mere mortals put their own lives on the line.Its ironic that Ian Hutchinson would be the only man in history to win every race in one week yet suffered horrendous injuries at one of the safest track in the world.Yes people have lost their lives but when added up over the years the miles covered by competitors it doesnt compare with lives lost on other circuits.Its dangerous and as Guy states its the buzz that brings him back,he made the choice nobody made it for him or others.If you dont like it simple dont do it,if you dont like the racing dont go,but dont stop it. 3 agree 0 disagree
Buzz Beurling - Unregistered April 22, 2011 11:30 AM it's cool of him to say that it's because of me that he keeps going back lol 0 agree 0 disagree
Fitzjnr - Unregistered April 22, 2011 12:13 PM I have done 5 TT's and as Guy says, money can't buy you the buzz you get from it. I had a fairly sizeable off at the Bungalow in 1998 I think it was, and you know it wasn't scary at all. Slow motion and all in black and white.Steve Sinnott (Sidecar Driver) summed it up beautifully in the film 'If the TT doesn't excite you, you must be dead already'Stunning film. 5 agree 0 disagree
Err... What? - Unregistered April 22, 2011 2:56 PM @ Buzz BeurlingIf you're not a girl, then you might want to rephrase that, lol. 0 agree 1 disagree
anonymous - Unregistered April 22, 2011 5:49 PM It must be a fantastic race to be a part of, but I have to say that when I went to the TT in 09 as a spectator... well, it was like a devout catholic going to meet the pope, and finding out first hand that he DOES touch below the belt.Raped by Steam Racket, bored by a sheer lack of off-track entertainment, pissed off by the race replica jackoffs. Totally **** fortnight that I thank bog I will never repeat. 1 agree 3 disagree
LA-Xstream - Unregistered April 22, 2011 9:03 PM Have to confess I was gonna miss this years TT as i've another 'date' in Mugello the following month, however after watching TT3D how the f**k can I resist the urge!...Guy Martin is hilarious in this film - frank and honest...the scene with his dad in the office chatting over a brew had me in stitches! Agree with earlier post the 3D-element is disappointing but would have been brilliant anyway in 2D. The end scenes with the crashes are shocking...hadnt seen Connor's crash and the helicoptor footage leaves a lasting impression. The kid's got great heart if he can come back from that. Hutchy's crash is equally grusome...i hope he gets to come back and prove last year was no fluke. What struck me was how 'mundane' and 'ordinary' some of the riders lives are away from the TT but also just how fired up they are about the TT...a deep burning desire and competitiveness - particularly Hutchy - that sets them apart from the rest.I hope this film reaches out to the masses and doesnt just becom 1 agree 0 disagree
Mathers Cross - Unregistered April 22, 2011 9:30 PM st ninians i think if you look closer you will easily find that the TT has the highest death rate by far. But im not an anti just pointing out the obvious. Also it has a pretty dreadful spectator death rate (road bke crashes) that is often forgotten. 1 agree 3 disagree

AIG Gets $30B More in Government Help
"The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board today announced a restructuring of the government's assistance to AIG in order to stabilize this systemically important company in a manner that best protects the U.S. taxpayer," the agencies said in a joint statement. "Specifically, the government's restructuring is designed to enhance the company's capital and liquidity in order to facilitate the orderly completion of the company's global divestiture program."
In the fourth quarter, AIG's general insurance business swung to a loss on $2.8 billion in net realized capital losses. General insurance net premiums dropped 16.3% to $9.2 billion, and net premiums earned fell 5.9% to nearly $11 billion.
Adjusted to exclude certain items, operating losses totaled $37.9 billion, or $14.17 a share, vs. a loss of $3.2 billion, or $1.25 a share, last year.
The fourth-quarter results drastically fell short of estimates. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, on average, forecast a loss estimate of 37 cents a share on revenue of $24.82 billion.
AIG said it reported a full-year 2008 loss of $99.3 billion, or $37.84 a share, as it felt the brunt of continued "severe" credit market deterioration and charges related to its restructuring.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Management Principles for Engineers - The word management is not easily defined. To one person it means the act or manner of managing, handling, directing or controlling. To another person management means a skill in management or a kind if in born executive ability. To a third person management concerns a person or persons managing an institution or business. Getting people to carry out objectives, whether they be your objectives or the objectives of the company you work for, can be programmed, more or less. Getting things done through people is a good, quick summary of what management is all about. This tape, produced in 1970, contains a number of strategies and principles for managers to act the most efficiently in the engineering setting.

Your Letters: Why we do controlled burns at Camp Ripley
Imagine if you will a battery of soldiers conducting their annual training at Camp Ripley. They are on the firing line, the team leader is calling out commands, they are moving quickly, as a well-oiled, smooth-running machine but suddenly everything comes to a halt as the safety officer calls cease firing and stops everything. He spotted a fire that was sparked by one of their rounds and the fire is quickly spreading across the impact area.
