Detailed Description:
AIDS and tuberculosis are two international and national priority public health problems. The best time for starting antiretroviral therapy in patients with AIDS and active tuberculosis is not clear, despite of the guidelines regarding CD4+ count. The debate surrounding this issue is mainly due to the difficulty among adherence of anti-MTb and anti-HIV treatment, the pharmacological interaction, the adverse events related to drugs and the risk of inflammatory reconstitution syndrome, especially in patients with advanced HIV infection. Moreover, there is great debate upon the lack of knowledge of the degree of immune reconstitution throughout time against Mtb induced by the anti-HIV therapy.

Ann Arbor � When it was time to take over, Nik Stauskas took over, and the Wolverines took what they wanted. They beat their rivals again and grabbed command of the Big Ten race, and make no mistake, this was a forceful takeover.
Michigan spied weakness and exploited it, and in a Crisler Center atmosphere as raucous as ever, Michigan State buckled. The Spartans might be wounded but the Wolverines knew exactly where to hit �em and how to hit �em. It happened in a flash, in a Nik of time, as the Wolverines showed they�re not relinquishing their newfound power status.
Michigan rolled to a 79-70 victory Sunday, and by the end Stauskas was heaving a spectacular alley-oop to Glenn Robinson III and the crowd was whooping crazily. The Wolverines have won six of eight in the rivalry and this was the best they�ve looked, picking apart the Spartans� fabled defense. Now the Big Ten title is theirs if they want it, alone in first at 11-3 with a half-game lead on the Spartans and a favorable schedule ahead.
Michigan State led by as many as 11 in the first half, but when Stauskas and Caris LeVert turned it on, there was no turning it off. Stauskas scored 25 points � 21 in the second half � and LeVert finished with 23, and they did all the scoring during a withering 21-4 run.
This was the Michigan offense we�d been waiting to see again, the synchronistic John Beilein attack that rolled all the way to the NCAA title game last year. It was fair to wonder if the Wolverines could get that spark back, losing so many key elements. But Beilein has done a terrific job, and when Stauskas gets it going, it�s back.
�I just came out with the mindset in the second half that I wasn�t gonna be stopped,� said Stauskas, 9-for-13 from the floor. �It just seems I�m being contained every game. I kind of came out and said, �I�m done with this. I�m not gonna be contained anymore.� �
This has been the vexing challenge for Stauskas, who admits he misses the days when he could rise from the shadows cast by Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. After a blistering start to the season, he hadn�t taken over since scoring 19 at Michigan State last month.
Double trouble
The Spartans didn�t have Adreian Payne for that game but he was back for this one, and for a while, it appeared to be the difference. When Tom Izzo�s team is playing its normal frenetic defense, it can shut down virtually any single player. It can�t shut down multiple players, and on this day, the Spartans couldn�t keep up.
Gary Harris played solid defense on Stauskas, until LeVert got hot. Then Harris had to switch to LeVert, which left sore-wristed Keith Appling to try to handle the 6-6 Stauskas, and that wasn�t happening. Izzo gave Michigan appropriate credit, but the Spartans had no answer to the poise and energy of the Wolverines, who committed only three turnovers.
�We looked tired, and I was not very proud of our effort,� Izzo said. �It�s been a strange year, and it doesn�t get any stranger than going to your rival and shooting 54 percent, 40 percent on 3s, and lose. That�s because I think we�ve become too much of an offensive team and not as good a defensive team, and eventually that gets you.�
Izzo is feeling a bit shell-shocked these days, and not just because of the injuries. This began like a Michigan State lockdown, but there�s a reason Michigan has risen from stepchild to formidable foe. Beilein adjusted his offense, jumped to a zone defense and effectively kept probing until he found something that worked.
It helps when you have a pair like Stauskas and LeVert, both shooting better than 40 percent on 3-pointers, both improving rapidly at attacking the basket, both increasingly fearless. LeVert has been a revelation, possibly the most improved player in the country. So the Spartans could be forgiven if they weren�t prepared to handle both, and they certainly weren�t prepared for Stauskas� second-half dead-eye.
Good as gold
The sophomore from Canada said he enjoyed his country�s hockey gold medal at the Sochi Olympics, but this was more about Maize mettle, and it was amazing at times. Beilein has a pretty good system working when he sometimes has to beg players to shoot more.
�Nik is looking for a perfect play all the time, and shooters gotta shoot it,� Beilein said. �He�s a tremendous shooter, and we just encourage him to be more aggressive. Sometimes what�s a bad shot for others is a really good shot for him.�
Good shots can become better shots against smaller point guards, as long as Stauskas takes advantage. The new formula to stop him is with a quicker defender, first used by Indiana and Yogi Ferrell.
When Stauskas saw the switch, he knew it was time for a little blood, caused by Nik and cuts.
�I�ve kind of struggled to figure things out, but the funny thing is, there�s not really anything to figure out,� Stauskas said. �It�s just a mindset to not let anyone stop me. When they put Appling on me, I figured I could shoot over him, and when I got into the lane, I could kind of bully my way in.�
He bullied and blasted away, and when he drilled a 3-pointer for a 59-52 lead, he unleashed a series of fist pumps that ratcheted the noise. Near the end, the U-M student section even got nostalgic, cranking up the �Little Brother!� chant as the season sweep was completed.
The Spartans are hurting, but that wasn�t the point of this clash. The Wolverines are still inflicting pain, still capable of going far, as far as their rapid-fire marksmen take them.

Description of Research Expertise
RESEARCH INTERESTS: Delineation of mechanisms of resistance to tumor microenvironmental stress, with emphasis on the Unfolded Protein Response in cancer. Development of small molecule agents to target these mechanisms as novel targeted modalities. Development of novel radiosensitizers.KEYWORDS: Tumor Microenvironment, Tumor Metabolism, Integrated Stress Response, drug screens, radiosensitizers.
RESEARCH DETAILS: My laboratory is primarily interested in two broad areas:
A. To understand the mechanisms by which components of the microenvironment (e.g. hypoxia, low nutrient availability) interact with cellular survival/apoptotic pathways to produce a more resistant tumor phenotype. Once we understand the regulation and function of these survival pathways, we then design cell-based and assays to screen small molecule libraries for compounds that inhibit these processes and test them alone or in combination with genotoxic agents in several animal tumor models.
B. To increase the therapeutic effectiveness of ionizing radiation (IR) by either employing existing compounds with relatively safe toxicity profiles or employ screening strategies to identify novel and potent radiation sensitizers. We are also interested in developing novel delivery approaches for such compounds, such as biocompatible nanoparticles.
ROTATION PROJECTS: Currently the lab is accepting 2 new rotation students.

VEHICLE NOOSE Patriot | |
(Rear quarter view) | |
Vehicle type | Law enforcement SUV |
Body style | 4-door SUV |
Capacity | 4 (driver and three passengers) |
Appearance(s) | GTA IV |
Manufacturer | Mammoth |
The NOOSE Patriot is the NOOSE version of the Patriot SUV in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City. NOOSE Patriots (and NOOSE Cruisers) appear at a three star wanted level and above.
The NOOSE Patriot is essentially based on the Patriot SUV (which in turn is based on a Hummer H2), but is equipped with an LED lightbar, the NOOSE livery and wheels with sturdier black rims and tires. The paint scheme is loosely based on the one seen on Homeland Security vehicles. Like other law enforcement vehicles, it cannot be repaired at the Pay 'n' Spray or taken through a Car Wash.
Strangely, being a vehicle clearly made to ram other cars it doesn't feature a front bull-bar. Also in the interior there is not any police equipment found in normal police sedans.
NOOSE uses the vehicle to ram the player and in roadblocks which are more trouble to avoid than regular police cars (the Police Cruiser and Police Patrol) and NOOSE Cruisers. The NOOSE Patriot is difficult to obtain, as this may require shooting away NOOSE officers, getting in the car, then driving off as fast as possible to evade the radius or reach a safehouse.
The NOOSE Patriot is much faster and has better handling than the civilian Patriot. Other differences with this version include the NOOSE livery, new rims, new tires with new tread design, LED light bar and the on-board police computer. It is heavy and good for ramming, much like the stock Patriot. Like its partner, the NOOSE Cruiser, the NOOSE Patriot is encountered frequently at 3-star and 4-star wanted levels. At a higher wanted level the NOOSE Patriots and NOOSE cruisers will disappear and instead more police cruisers and police patrols will appear. The NOOSE will only send in one of the two vehicles at the same time so you will seldom see both of them at once. The NOOSE Patriot sometimes will come at the player from the front in an attempt to ram them. Its elevated cabin and narrow windshield make shooting out the driver very difficult. The raised ground clearance however, allows an easy shot at the tires as do the higher profile tires, as opposed to the low profile tires on the civilian Patriot.
Along with the great performance, the handling is equally improved. Instead of being down and heavy like the normal Patriot, the handling feels like the car is lighter. However, along with being very fast, if you steer too much, one of the front wheels can lift off the ground and make it prone to rolling over making high speed travel extremely dangerous. So you'd want to take it easy in the corners when driving the car.
Also like the regular Patriot, the N.O.O.S.E. Patriot's bulky nature ensures that the player can easily overturn almost any small vehicle when plowing in its side.

The first film in Peter Jackson's epic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's enduringly popular masterpiece took in $138,200,000 million internationally for a worldwide total of $222,975,000.
The adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' was originally made as a two-part film, however Warner Bros, Peter Jackson, producer Fran Walsh and writer-producer Philippa Boyens announced a few months back that 'The Hobbit' films will now be a trilogy. The release schedule for the three films are as follows: 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' is set for a December 13th, 2012 release date; 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' arrives in cinemas December 13th, 2013; and 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' concludes the trilogy on July 18th, 2014.
'The Hobbit' films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before 'The Lord of the Rings,' which Peter Jackson and his film-making team brought to the big screen in the fantastic blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar-winning 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.' Reprising their roles from 'The Lord of the Rings' movies are Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Ian Holm as the elder Bilbo, Christopher Lee as Saruman, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, and Andy Serkis as Gollum.

The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
The first film in the trilogy, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," will be released December 14, 2012, with the second film releasing on December 13, 2013, and the third film slated for summer 2014. All three films will be released in 3D and 2D in select theatres and IMAX.

The Doper Next Door: My Strange and Scandalous Year on Performance Enhancing Drugs by Andrew Tilin
Journalist and cyclist Andrew Tilin goes in search of normal people who take performance-enhancing drugs. As a cyclist, he's familiar with the pros who test positive for these substances, and the shame and scorn that goes with doping. But his wife is taking estrogen! Isn't that doping too? Andrew goes in search of someone who will tell all, but finds a wall of silence. He decides to embark on a year-long, top-secret experiment in supplementing his own testosterone. As an athlete who competes, he's risking his reputation if anyone finds out.
Forty-something Andrew discovers that his "Andrewpause" responds quite well to a syringe of testosterone and little hormone cream. His year-long adventure has him hornier, stronger, and more aggressive than he's ever been. But part of him feels like heel for cheating as an amateur bike racer. He chronicles his journey with humor, insight, and good amount of existential angst. For anyone considering T, this is a thought-provoking point of view.

@Micheal This is a bit misleading as gallium itself is fully working using software raster the only it isn't merely partly ported
The part that is lacking is porting of the hardware driver.
Also it wouldn't be a *new* OpenGL stack it would be the same one with hardware support. in fact haiku alpha1 has mesa 7.4.x iirc which was just before the gallium switch... and mesa-git should work now I think. It hasn't been packaged up afaik though.
most of the opengl commits are by aljen so you could search for him in the haiku trac and find out lots of info just an fyi.
I will also point out that haiku now has a native webkit browser with supposedly sub 1 sec startup (I haven't tried myself yet) that is definitly worth investigating once released as stable most of the work at them moment being done on the browser is by stippi who has been hired by haiku inc to do just that.

The Gang of Four (四人衆, Yonin-shū) were a group of four people, who served under Yomi and appeared in Naruto Shippūden the Movie.
Kusuna was the leader and medical-nin of the group, and the one responsible for giving the other three their special chakra powers through the use of chakra snakes given to him by Yomi. The three fighters tend to abuse their newly enhanced chakra, using overly powerful techniques to deal with even the most minor matters, resulting in rapid drainage and requiring replenishment, which ultimately led to their downfall, as their opponents took advantage of their low chakra moment and took them all down while refusing to let them replenish except Gitai, who was killed earlier when his unstable power led him to self-destruct.

Is it real or fake?
A Kiss Cam at a Fresno Grizzlies game last week seemed to capture a girlfriend dumping a drink on her boyfriend when he's too busy to kiss her when the camera is on him.
Some point out that it seems a bit too convenient overall, and wonder if the actors and the team put this together.

EVERYWHERE, WASHINGTON -- I Bought this power supply cord for my laptop, Pretty expensive, but it came with more than others. I THOUGHT it was going to be great, boy was I WRONG!! After a month or so, I was sitting on my couch, watching TV. I heard an electric buzzing shocking noise. Looked over, the Enercell Power Supply Adapter was ON FIRE!! and the funny thing was, the laptop was not even plugged into the power supply cord. The Battery pack was ON FIRE, smoking up the house. It was lying on the floor next to my couch, and it even caught the leather on FIRE and burned a HUGE hole in it. Smelled the house up for days! When I saw the fire, I OBVIOUSLY put it out with Water. What was I supposed to do, watch it BURN the couch or the rest of my house? NO! Well, after about a month of emailing back and forth with a Radio Shack safety specialist. They were having an outside engineer check it out. The conclusion was "we will respectfully DENY the claim that our product was at fault" So I read the attached report that the engineer found. And it said that it is
determined that the failure experienced was a result of significant moisture/liquid exposure ( i.e. water emersion)
WHICH IT WAS NOT!! I OBVIOUSLY HAD TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH WATER!? I am NEVER going to buy anymore products from Enercell again, and ESPECIALLY NOT RADIO SHACK. I will tell all of my friends and family to do the same. NEVER again Radio Shack, NEVER AGAIN!
I have worked for RadioShack for 2 years now. I have worked my way from employee to Management, and have dealt with all kinds of crazy things throughout that time. These are a few things for everyone:
For customers:
-Our Return Policy is extremely lenient, but this is a BUSINESS that we run. For all returns, we do need to ask your personal information, that is for the fraud department. This protects you, as well as it protects the business in case stealing starts happening from the inside. Checks do take 15 days to process through OUR system, and we cannot bypass this, we will loose our jobs. I know most of you reading this are completely honest people, but there are people who aren't. My store has been a victim of fraud that has happened this way before, and when it does happen, it is taken out of management's personal paycheck. Our return policy is 30 days to get your cash/credit back. Beyond that, if it is in perfect resellable condition, we can give you a gift card. There is no other place that can do this, and yes, we do believe in customer service. If your item is broken because YOU broke it, again, it is taken out of management's personal paycheck. The back of your receipt says it needs to be in "new, resellable condition". Putting a fuss so your item is refunded may make the difference of a manager being able to pay rent or put food on their child's dinner table because YOU broke it. If it doesn't work due to actual defect, we are always more than willing to refund or replace, you don't have to worry at all.
-Treating employees or managers with disrespect does not get you anywhere. Just because we may not have a store the physical size of Best Buy does not mean we do not know how to run a business. So many times I see parents come in with their young children and start SCREAMING at one of my employees because of this or that. Do you really want to teach your children that having a temper tantrum loud enough will get you somewhere in life? Stay calm, keep yourself in check, and generally we can work with you on whatever you need or want.
-Service plans truly are worth it on a lot of things. True, not everything. But cell phones, digital cameras, home phones, anything more than $100 bucks it should be something to seriously consider. This is not just so "we make money". It's to protect against what YOU do to it. Your kid takes the item out in the rain. Someone spills something. You blow a speaker. You yank on a cord wrong and it comes loose. There is a bad storm and something got fried. Don't get mad at us because we offered it to you. Every electronics store offers these, and it's for a reason. Electronics are made of such fine components any part could overheat for this reason or that. The biggest thing you should consider buying service plans on are anything that could need a battery replacement. So many times I have customers come in so mad because they have to spend $80 on 4 new batteries for their 4 handset phone, when 2 years ago someone offered them a $10 replacement where they could have gotten them for free. RadioShack is the only place I've heard of that gives you the free batteries included. Take advantage!
-Females in your RadioShack generally know more than the males. Don't just pass us by. We had to work harder to get to where we're at, because there are more sexist people than not out there. I've been a manager for 2 years now at my store, and many times even in a full suit I will greet a person at the door, and they will walk right past me to my newest male associate to ask for advice on some electronic component. Guess who the male employee comes to if he doesn't yet know the answer? Me, and generally yes, we do know the answer. Keep this in mind.
-If you ever do have an issue, especially related to customer service in a store, talk to the manager! If they're not there, call the next day and get ahold of them! That's what we're here for. If we don't know that one of our employees disrespected you in some way, or you feel didn't treat you fairly, talk to us! We can fix most issues for your ourselves.
To employees-
-If someone comes in screaming, irate, how you handle it can really change a lot of things. If you have questions on how to handle a customer like this, please don't hesitate to talk to your manager. Our goal is to keep customers and make them happy, not fight and snap back at them. Do not take it personally, most angry customers had something else frustrating happen that perhaps one little thing tipped them over the top. They are just there to vent, you can generally have them leave with a smile.
-To FEMALE employees:
Yes, there are a lot of sexist people in the world. Males and Females alike. Just remember, you worked your way up just like anyone else, and don't let it get to you. Unfortunately being looked past because you are a female is part of the job. If you take your time and really show them you know what you are doing (and yes, this is a lot of extra work sometimes) they will always come back to you. One of my RadioShack mentors is a woman. She has been at her store for 15 years now. It took her a long time to Win over her customers, but now she has built such a strong customer base that people come in from an hour away just to see her, and she is always busy with customers. She generally pulls in literally her entire stores sales plus some on her own. Learn your job. Yes, you need to learn it better than anyone else because you WILL be tested. Take pride, it will pay off.
The entire point of this is basically if you are an employee, see where the customers are coming from. If you are a customer, treat us with respect, do not try to "get away" with things (because most businesses that I've ever dealt with are much more strict on whatever policies- check up on this if you don't believe me) we are here to run a business. In return, we will always bend over backward for you.
SURPRISE, ARIZONA -- I purchased a cell phone from Radio Shack and was offered a warranty that would replace my phone if there were any issues with it. I was told all I need to do is bring the phone back, they would ship it back to their warranty team and once it was received I would be sent a gift card in the amount of the phone I purchased. So I purchased the warranty thinking if anything happens to my phone I would get a brand new one, like I was assured.
Well, over the last few months my phone has been crashing and/or rebooting on me for absolutely no reason, like there is a short in my phone. It`s gotten to a point this happens daily so I decided I would take take advantage of the warranty I purchased. Well, I took my phone back and explained the situation. The guy at the store was helpful however when he called to talk to the warranty department he was informed my warranty was a "repair" warranty which is absolutely not what I was told I was purchasing.
They told me to send my phone back and they would try to "fix it" and if they can't they would send me a gift card. When I told them that's not what I purchased they told me that they do have a replacement warranty but I purchased the repair one, which is not what I was told I was buying. Had I known that they were going to pull the old bait and switch on me I would not have wasted my money on this warranty.
What makes this even worse is the store manager is the one who sold me the phone and replacement warranty. He is the one that told me that they would replace my phone if there was a problem within the first year. I even confirmed that that with him before I purchased the plan otherwise I would have not purchased the warranty. Now that there is a problem they are telling me that I don't have the right warranty.
I feel like they pulled the bait and switch on me and totally ripped me off.
CALDWELL, IDAHO -- I just signed up for a new contract with Sprint about a month ago and I went back to the store where I had started my service because the phone that I purchased was having issues I ended up getting a different phone it was a bit more than what I wanted to spend but the sales representative josh had garunteed that if I came back into the store that weekend the store was going to have a sale on the phones and I would be able to get a price match on the phone meaning that they would give me the sell price that the phone was selling for that day. So I went back just like he said I explained my situation to the sales representative that day and he stated that they were not allowed to do because I had passed my thirty days of return policy. I explained to him my conversation with josh and told him that I. Was. Just in here three days prior the sales representative told me that josh did not know what he was talking about I responded by asking then why is he an assistant manager. I had no choice but to leave feeling betrayed and lied to. The next day I got a hold of josh at the store told he what had happened at the store he told me that they should have been able to have gave me that price match he had me go down there and when I got there he told me he had some bad news they were not able to do the price match because I had already went over my thirty days but I told him what he had guaranteed that I would be able to get some of my money because I had just paid more for this phone compared to the phone I had prior and it had only been three days that went by he apologized and told me that he could do nothing maybe just give me back the old phone back with the additional money that I had paid for the new phone. I told him that was find then he said that he would have to get an okay from his manager and give me a call back. An hour went by until they returned my call and it was not even him it was another employee that told me that there was nothing that they could do for me about
My refund so then I asked to speak to the store manager. She told me that there was nothing they could do for me I explained to her that if josh would have not told me about the sale that was happening and his verbal guareente of getting a price match I would not even have been in this mess she didn't care she didn't even offer a apology for the false statement that her assistant manager josh. As for josh I felt like he just ignored me and avoided himself to call me back and apologize for false assurance I would of really have appreciated if he would have just steped up and stated that he was wrong but he didn't he allowed others to do his dirty work for him. I strongly recommend to not allow josh to sell you a phone because he gives false information just to get people to purchase a phone.
ANKENY, IOWA -- This guy fulfills every single one of the stereotypes of salesmen. He was pushy, convincing, and I actually thought that he liked me as a person and wasn't just looking for a cheap sale.
I went into the Ankeny Radioshack looking for a cable, but soon got into a conversation with a clean-cut person who started me on the topic of cell phones. to be honest, he didn't lie to me, except perhaps by omission.
He ended up selling me an AT&T phone with "3G coverage." I forget what it's called all that's under the battery is a bunch of numbers.
Surfing the internet from my phone was enticing, because I hate to be stuck at the office or at home waiting for an email that never seems to come on time.
He said that he routinely got speeds that were in approximation to a DSL line. I have a DSL line, and I knew that it was a good thing, because mine was very fast, and I didn't have to wait for pages to load like I used to.
Needless to say, I was told that internet wouldn't be an issue in terms of cost, that the phone came with an unlimited data package. The bills are sort of steep in my opinion, but that's not what I am complaining about.
What I AM complaining about was how I was treated when I returned with the phone and all the paperwork about a week later (to the day it's been about a month since this whole problem has been resolved).
What sent this whole chain of events into play was that I talked to a techie coworker who stated that my phone was not '3G' capable, and even if it was, '3G' was not available in my area. What?! He was so insistent that it was!
I also noticed that the phone was NOT as fast as DSL, and I talked to my coworker some more. He pulled up some tool and showed me that my speed was 7 kb per second. I don't know what that means exactly but he said that it was about 100-times slower than DSL. I soon realized that when I tried to go to another more high-data site than my original email inbox (the thing that I checked the most).
So I took the phone back and told him about it. He stated, almost verbatim, that "he [coworker] didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about." I told him that I did tests and it looked like my friend was right. He told me that I didn't know what I was talking about!!
So, I just asked him if I could return the phone. He said I could as long as it was within a month. I said "OK it's within a month here you go," but he needed to see my receipt. I was told when I purchased the phone that my receipt would be kept track of electronically!!!! Hence the forceful taking of my personal information, which I disapproved of. I told him about this but he said that the electronic receipt didn't count, that I needed the original.
I was getting frustrated at him at this point, but I kept a cool head, because I knew that I wouldn't get anywhere with anger. So I said that I would be back with the receipt and went to my house to look for it. I found it and returned.
This time, he stated that it was too far out to be returned. Did this guy think that I was an idiot?? He turned and smirked at a coworker. I asked to see a manager and that's when he got hot under the collar. He said "He's not here." Then I was going to ask him for a card of his but he said "I AM the manager!" His face was red and he was furious at me. I guess that he thought I was going to complain about him, but if he had stopped there I would have just looked for a resolution to the whole situation and gotten return for the phone.
He swore under his breath at me and started maniacally asking me if I knew who he was. I said that his nametag said "Parker." He asked me if I knew who his grandfather was. I said no and that I just wanted to return the phone. I was still not upset but I was getting frustrated at this schizophrenic behavior.
He took the phone out and said that there was a scratch on it, and the phone had to be new. He showed it to me and I couldn't really see how a scratch of that size could be a factor in returning the phone. Then he said that he would be back and he walked off. He must have been gone for ten minutes and then he came back and started typing on the computer. I just stayed over by the TVs because I didn't want to upset him anymore. Then he started asking me for information and he finally did the return.
All in all, this Parker guy has some major issues beyond the scope of the job. I have later learned from my3cents that workers are paid on commission basis, which could have been the reason why he pushed me so hard to get the phone. However, I don't think that I deserve to be treated as I was. No one does. I don't deserve to be mocked openly by someone who obviously thinks himself too good to be working for Radioshack....
I may consider going back to Radioshack, because it still has a lot of stuff that I find interesting, but definitely not at that store while he is working. Hopefully his behavior can be changed with some counseling, but besides that, until it is, I don't feel that he is suitable for that sort of work. He is too emotionally charged to perceived wrongs, in my opinion.
Anyway, this is not a complaint about a whole company, but rather of a given individual. I don't hate Radioshack now, despite him, and neither should people who read this. Just please be weary of the Ankeny store, and of a person there who obviously has some issues with you returning phones and interfering with his commission.
NEVADA -- As an employee at RadioShack it is very difficult to get by financially. They expect so much from me and pay me $7.65 and hour, plus commission. But, at the store that I work at it is such a dead store and we get no business. Therefore, there isn't much to make in commission. We are required to take numerous training modules when we are first hired, and throughout our employment we are required to take a new training every two weeks or so. I have had so many problems with this company. Some of which I think is absolutely wrong and wouldn't happen in any other work place. I worked at a different store before this one and I had a customer come in multiple times a week asking me for my phone number and if I wanted to go skiing with him or numerous activities. Keep in mind, I am 19 and he was about 42. I refused his offers many times. He called the store asking for my number. Finally, I told him I was 17, thinking maybe if he thought I was a minor he would leave me alone, right? Wrong. He continued on and on. I had asked my manager many times to get this guy to stop, my manager told me "if he keeps spending money in our store I'm not going to say anything to him". I was shocked. Seriously, he is harassing me and you're just going to let him get away with it. Finally, I asked my DM if I could transfer to another store. He asked my reasoning, so I told him exactly what happened. He told me that it was not a valid reason to request to be transferred. He said I needed to fulfill my duties to the store. I once again was shocked. Seriously, fulfill my duties. My goodness. After that call I called HR. I was transferred in three days. After I got transferred it seemed as if he was trying to retaliate against me. He told me I was on a week trial. Basically, I had to prove myself 'worthy' to work at RadioShack. Since, I need the job, I just acted like normal and did my normal tasks. I did call HR again to complain about the retaliation. He (my DM) also yelled at me for taking a couple of days to cut out, organize and place 500+ price tags. I flat out said to him, I would LOVE to see you do it in one shift, then I will know that it is possible. I really wish that I could find another job, but in my area there isn't much. I just can't stand working at RadioShack any longer..
People have posted on here RS employees don't care about their customers. I personally do care. I take my time to help each and every customer. I have quite a few customers that go out of their way to come to my store. I feel that I have to be considerate of the customers because if I was their customer, I would expect the same service.
RS expects you to sell cell phones out the wazoo. Honestly, everyone already has a cell phone. People may want to upgrade, but who wants to sign another 2 year contract. It's stupid. They have idiotic 'goals' that you must meet. You have to sell so many dollars per hour per ticket. You have to sell so many dollars worth of batteries. You have to have accessories with cell phones, mp3 players, TV's, laptops... If you don't sell accessories with those, your percentage goes down and you get written up. If you don't sell enough service plans (extended warranty) you get written up. If you don't sell your 'required' goal for cell phones for the month you get written up.. If you fail to meet your "goal" more than twice (I think) you get fired. We used to have a policy that if a manager didn't get 7 cell phones sold in a week he was fired. WTH? Not that many people are going to come to RS to buy a cell phone. Yes, our prices are a LOT cheaper than other stores, and we do not have mail in rebates. But, what average customers knows all of that? We have to do planograms almost constantly. We have to work our butts off for nothing. I'm just sick of trying to meet their 'goals'. They are just a bunch of dumb ignorant people sitting up in offices making rules that they think people can abide by. Sorry RS you're wrong.
TEXAS -- On 11/22/12 I ordered an Xbox with free promotional headphones from Radioshack.com. I returned them to my local Radio Shack store on 11/30/12 (found a better deal). I opened the shipping box only to confirm both items were there, but I never opened the box containing the Xbox or the package with the headphones.
The store manager (Oaks Mall, Gainesville, FL), Katie, and employee Mark, explained they could not refund me for returning an online order. Radioshack.com states that you can return items to a Radio Shack store and provides the steps you must follow in order to do so, unless the packing slip indicates the item must be mailed back. If their website policy stated that online orders must be mailed back or if my packing slip indicated that, I would have mailed it back.
However, nowhere did my packing slip & order confirmation state that this purchase can only be mailed back for a refund.
Katie explained what they can do is ship my purchase back via her regular Federal Express guys who deliver from and ship to the Ft. Worth TX warehouse for her every day. Then she explained when the warehouse receives the package, they will process my refund. She provided me the tracking information from the shipping receipt she filled out. The items were shipped back in the same box they came to me in.
On 12/4/12 that tracking info confirms the box was received and signed for by R Woods. However, the only item they acknowledge that was returned were the free headphones. Radioshack.com says b/c the Federal Express shipping receipt lists the weight as too light for an XBOX, they only refund they processed was $0 for the free headphones.
Update 12/31/12:
The local store processed my refund. They admitted the error was on their part for not refunding me when I originally returned the unopened items to the store. At this point, either the warehouse improperly cataloged it upon arrival or the XBOX was stolen after it left the Gainesville store, either en route or in the warehouse. The local District Manager and Store Manager did their best for me and were able to confirm the box weighed 8.5 pounds when it left Gainesville, and during at least one of the Fed X transfers, and apologized for not simply refunding me in the first place when I returned the item to the store. While I will never again order from Radioshack.com, at least my local Gainesville Radio Shack eventually made it right.
The local Radio Shack refunded me in full.
BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS -- I am writing in reference to a recent encounter I had last night at the Belleville Crossing Radio Shack location, store number #01-6605. I went there to purchase a Cricket Hauwei Mercury Ice phone. The first mistake was that I was not greeted and had to actually go up to the counter and approach Angela, a sales rep, rather than her approach me. Tim, the store manager was unable to do so because he had a customer and Bill was counting down the till which were perfectly fine. I ignored her lack of experience which was evident in her inability to retrieve the desired phone unbeknownst to me that mistake number two was fast approaching. As Angela rung up my transaction, she forgot to add on the rate plan which caused both Bill and Tim to come to her aid, giving her different instructions. Nevertheless, I waited patiently as Tim made her re-ring the transaction the correct way. Before we finished the transaction, I asked if I were receiving the advertised " $10 for every $50 spent promotion" being that I spent $216.
I was informed by Bill that 1) Angela had completed the transaction, 2) they could not offer me the promotion because I bought "airtime", 3) You just missed out this time. Let me mention that Bill went to the back to speak to Tom, the store manager which meant arguing the point was moot. I was dumbfounded because I had all three associates which included the store manager and was not offered the promotion - not even when the two "experienced" sales reps came to Angela's aid. I thought that the purpose of training was to correctly show the trainee what to do and also to model appropriate actions when an error is made and the customer was at no fault. I did not know I had to suggest promotions that are plastered ALL over the windows and throughout the store in order to receive them.
I am going to post this on Facebook and other consumer sites because I don't believe that they were fine with making me lose out on $30 on the phone and possibly $10 on the plan. Over the last 35 days I have spent almost $600 at Radio Shack purchasing phones and am now of the opinion that I will definitely take my business elsewhere.
KETTERING, OHIO -- I have changed my name in the emails.
I went to the Radio Shack store on December 17, 2008 and at 5:34 pm I placed an order through a sales person and was told it would be shipped to the store to save me the shipping cost. I gave him my information and my credit card and was told that it might not be here before the 26th unless I wanted to pay for the faster shipping, which I declined. I was given a 2 page receipt showing what appeared to be all the pertinent information> There was nothing on this receipt about any refund or return policies (special or otherwise). On 12/17/2008 at 5:34 pm I received the following email:

When I get to the store, I said I wanted to cancel the order and the man said that they would have to ship it back and then I would get my money back. I said I did not like that, I did not want the product. He said that was the only option. I then had to sign a paper saying I had received the item and then another paper stating I was returning the item. That sheet a note that stated that I would receive my refund within 10 to 15 days after they receive the product back at the processing center.
When I got home, I called the customer service line and asked to speak to a supervisor - he said the same thing and said he could not do anything to help me.
I feel this is totally unreasonable and unfair as I was not given any of this information at anytime during the entire 7 day process, plus I never had actual possession of the product at any time.
Bought a set of wireless headphones to replace the realistic ones that lasted for years. After about six months quit working. After, reading the manufactures 1 yr warranty.
The warranty told me to take the product and receipt back to place of purchase.
First try, yielded nothing but the run around. I asked not for a refund or replacement but help on the warranty. The associate said that it was after 90 days. I know that, I'm doing what the warranty told me to do. The associate then said that he couldn't do anything, the manager would have to decide and he wasn't there.
Next try, same thing. I didn't want a refund I wanted help with the warranty. The warranty that said to take it back to the store. It is after 90 days won't do anything and I need to contact the manufacturer, said the associate. Funny thing is Auvio premium products can only be bought at Radio Shack outlets. It is almost like Radio Shack contract manufactures them. I would say that almost makes them the manufacturer. "The warranty says take it back to the place of purchase", I said..nothing. What was upsetting is that this time the manager was in back, but wouldn't come out and tell me. The manager let the associate handle the situation. I do need to say that after a while they did say if that they would send them in that it would cost $20. By that time I was upset enough that I was done. Why wouldn't they offer that suggestion at first, that was the help I was asking for. However, after the run around, the lack of urgency, and making me feel like a bother to them, I was done.
Again, let me be clear I was not asking for a refund or replacement but help in the warranty. The warranty that said take it back to the store. Thinking back, I do not remember ever receiving bad service from Radio Shack. However, after this episode and reading that others have had the same experience, I'm done with The Shack.

NatalieBest Top Coat!I've experimented with all kinds of ways to extend the life of my home manicures, and it truly was a lesson in trial and error. I'm rough on my nails, so every drug store top coat I've tried only lasts me a day! When I use THIS top coat, not only can I keep my manicure for an average of four days, but it also evens out the texture and adds shine to my nails that I don't get with most other products!
My only suggestions are to give it PLENTY of time to dry (I use this product right before I go to sleep), and touch up the tips of your nails before bed each night to help keep your color polish sealed to your nail.posted Mar 31, 2013Link to this post -
CindyCaliforniaGreat GlossThis producty is amazing. It makes your manicure brand new again. Love it!posted Mar 29, 2011Link to this post
Tilok M.GtlBest Top Coat Hands DownI've always taken pride in the appearance of my nails but this product makes it super easy to maintain that "fresh from the salon" manicure look! Works wonders with even the cheapest nail polish. One word of caution, it takes a LONG time to completely dry. If you are a person who has a hard time refraining from messing up freshly-painted nails, you may have problems using this product.posted Apr 13, 2010Link to this post
AnneLittle Rock, AR USAWorks Wonders!I love to wear dark nail colors in the winter. Colorfix allows me to wear the dark purples and reds without redoing my nails every two days. I can usually go for a week with minimal touch ups. Highly recommend!posted Dec 27, 2009Link to this post
SueRochester, NYBest Topcoat!I have used just about every topcoat on the market, and mavala beats them all by far. I like to wear dark polish and I was chip free for a full week (I am a hair stylist and with my hands being in water all day, I usually get 1 - 2 days) I use this on all my manicure clients and they love it too!posted Nov 11, 2008Link to this post

I recently had a French manicure and usually the white nailpolish is chipped and nasty looking after a few days. Not with this top coat! It works best if you can reapply every so often. Gives a wet appearance, which is great. The only top coat youll ever want to use.posted Oct 13, 2006Link to this post
