Sept. 30, 2011
The UAW has a long history of fighting for and protecting its retirees, and through the years, we have been able to bargain good pensions, Christmas bonuses, pension increases, health care benefit improvements and other improvements for our retirees. We accomplished all these gains for retirees even though many years ago a Republican majority on the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that we do not have the right to strike over retiree issues.
In 2008, when the economy collapsed and General Motors and Chrysler were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, many Republicans wanted to strip retirees of all health care benefits and throw our pensions to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC). If they had succeeded, GM and Chrysler pensions would have been reduced to about 65 percent of the basic pension, and retirees would have been left without any health care. The UAW fought for retirees in the congressional hearings, through lobbying, protesting and many other activities. GM and Chrysler retirees' pensions and health care were saved as a result.
In the current round of auto bargaining, we were faced with two insurmountable obstacles to winning the gains we wanted for our retirees. First, in the past we were able to fund pension increases and Christmas bonuses out of the UAW Big Three pension funds because the pension funds were either fully funded or, in some years, even overfunded. This year, we face the worst shortfall in our history of pension underfunding. Because of Wall Street's continuing problems, the GM, Ford and Chrysler hourly pension funds are all underfunded. Obviously, because of this shortfall, we could not use the pension funds to pay for the Christmas bonuses or any other improvements.
The second insurmountable obstacle to winning Christmas bonuses for retirees is the current retiree to active member ratio. The current active UAW membership at GM, for example, is 48,000 members to 405,000 UAW GM retirees, making it nearly a 10-to-1 ratio of retirees to current working members. During these negotiations, the UAW also explored the idea of paying for retiree Christmas bonuses by having each active member contribute to a fund to pay these bonuses. With the almost 10-to-1 ratio of retired to active workers in GM and similar ratios at Chrysler and Ford, funding a $600 retiree bonus for GM retirees would require a nearly $6,000 contribution from each active UAW GM member. The problem is similar at Ford and Chrysler. At Ford, the retiree to active ratio is about 3.5 retirees to each active, and at Chrysler, there are almost four retirees to every active member. Obviously, it is not possible in these economic times with these ratios to fund retiree lump sums out of active members' earnings.
Finally, we were able to negotiate and ratify a 10 percent contribution from active members' profit sharing that will be diverted to the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA). This diversion helps to make possible the modified dental and vision coverage that will be restored by the VEBA for our UAW Big Three retirees in January 2012.
Our hope is that all of the Big Three – with the continued dedication of our UAW members – will return to being a strong and viable company which will help the profitability and stock of these companies rebound, and that the economy and our pension funds will also rebound, making it possible to win yearly bonuses for our retirees in future negotiations.
A July 24, 2007, New York Times story dubbed upcoming Big Three negotiations "the most crucial talks in a generation." Six weeks later, they ran this headline on a grim Labor Day story: "For UAW, a year of uncertainty."
It was – with apologies to Charles Dickens – not the best of economic times.
On Sept. 24, 2007, more than 73,000 UAW General Motors members went on strike against the company over job security, economic issues, benefits for active workers and winning investment in future products. Two days later, the UAW national bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with GM in the wee hours. Highlights included job security and unprecedented product guarantees. On Oct. 10, thousands of UAW-represented Chrysler workers went on strike for nearly six hours before settling with the company. And in November, UAW Ford Motor Co. workers ratified a new contract with product and investment commitments.
One of the most important aspects of the labor agreements reached during 2007 bargaining was the establishment of an independent trust fund called a Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association, or VEBA, to provide protections for medical benefits for UAW-represented retirees from GM, Ford and Chrysler. (On Jan. 1, 2010, the VEBA took over responsibility for providing retiree medical benefits.)
But who would have guessed that by late 2008 and into 2009, our nation's economy – and the auto industry in particular – would enter its deepest crisis since the Great Depression.
It was indeed the worst of times.
Almost overnight, demand for new vehicles fell from an annual rate of more than 17 million units to an annual rate under 10 million units.
Former UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, along with the CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler, met with House and Senate leaders and later testified before Congress to describe the dire situation facing the industry. In the final weeks of his administration, President George W. Bush granted GM and Chrysler federally guaranteed loans that allowed them to survive into early 2009. Within a month after taking the oath of office, President Barack Obama appointed an Auto Task Force to review available options.
Without a government-supervised and supported restructuring of their debt, GM and Chrysler would have collapsed, throwing millions of American workers on the street and leaving retirees without medical benefits of any kind. And even though Ford had mortgaged everything for a $26 billion loan, if GM and Chrysler had collapsed, the supplier industry would have failed as well, in turn affecting Ford.
Current UAW contracts with Ford, GM and Chrysler will expire at midnight on Sept. 14.
Between now and then, the union's national bargaining teams, who represent UAW members employed by each of the domestic automakers, and the companies' respective teams, will open negotiations in late July, spend long days and nights hammering out a new tentative agreement and present it to our membership for a ratification vote.
What follows is a comprehensive look at the amazing turnaround following this historic auto industry crisis and the UAW's bargaining goals for 2011 auto negotiations.
Perhaps this time, amid growing signs of improvement, they'll open bargaining with a high-five – or maybe even a fist-bump.

(AP) MIAMI - In the Eastern Conference, there's Indiana, there's Miami, and there's everybody else.
Or maybe nobody else.
The Pacers and Heat have run away from the rest of the East, and seem destined to meet again in the East finals next spring to pick up where last season's seven-game thriller left off.
Their first of four regular-season meetings is Tuesday in Indianapolis, where the Pacers are 9-0 this season, winning by an average of 14.9 points per game. In seven of their nine home games, the Pacers haven't even faced as much as a five-point deficit.
"It's going to be a playoff atmosphere," Heat guard Ray Allen said.
Added Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "Indiana's done a tremendous job so far this season."
Dwyane Wade's status for the Heat is unknown; he's missed six of Miami's 21 games so far to either rest his oft-ailing knees, or deal with illness. He didn't play in Miami's win at Detroit on Sunday night.
Miami toppled Indiana in seven games last season to win its third straight East crown. Including playoffs, the Heat are 9-8 in their last 17 meetings against the Pacers, with an average victory margin in those games of only 2.5 points.
The Pacers are 18-3 this season, the Heat 16-5. It's hard to envision any scenario where these aren't the last two clubs standing in the East.
"I don't really get too much involved in regular-season matchups, especially early in December," Heat star LeBron James said. "They're a great team right now. We're trying to get healthy. We're trying to get to our full potential."
Besides Heat-Pacers, here's five things to watch in the NBA this week:
KOBE'S MINUTES: Kobe Bryant returned to the Lakers on Sunday, his first outing since tearing his Achilles tendon in last season's playoffs. The Lakers host Phoenix on Tuesday, then visit Oklahoma City on Friday and Charlotte on Saturday. How the Lakers handle Bryant's minutes in that first back-to-back will be interesting.
CELTIC REUNIONS: The Celtics will see former stars and a former coach this week. They play at Brooklyn on Tuesday in a game that looked huge a couple months ago, given the departures of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets, but now is barely noticeable. On Wednesday, Doc Rivers returns to Boston when the Clippers visit the Celtics.
SCORING FRENZY: Houston goes to Portland on Thursday, and don't expect a defensive struggle. The Rockets are averaging 107.5 points, the Trail Blazers are at 106.2. Fun fact: Portland's Damian Lillard is shooting better from 3-point range (42.5 percent) than 2-point range (39.4 percent).
ANTAWN 20K: Antawn Jamison is five points shy of becoming the 39th player in NBA history to score 20,000 points. He and the Clippers are in Philadelphia on Monday.
LEBRON VS CAVS: Isn't it funny how this barely even seems significant anymore? Cleveland visits Miami on Saturday.
STAT LINE OF THE WEEK: The Knicks' starters combined to score 29 points on Sunday. Carmelo Anthony has scored that many points by himself 77 times since joining the Knicks.

Even though all of these Recall Revolts breaks my heart...I say go forward with them--even for Jindal! Caveat Emptor, my fellow citizens! Political poseurs like these will only take us seriously when we "put our feet on their necks and press down!" High heels and steel-toed boots make more of a lasting impression, just thought I'd inform you!
This story hurts to read...not only because a young soul died alone, but because so many posters are using their words to bring MORE and UNNECESSARY pain to a suffering family! The Golden Rule, Karma, Turnabout...it's all fair play if/when a tragedy happens to you. So if I were you, I'd be REAL careful about how I use my words!
Walker family, I'm sorry for your loss. I pray that you'll all find peace in God's great love and comfort.
"Benson made it immediately clear to the Hornets that they would face a more hostile business climate in New Orleans than they did in Charlotte."
What a crock of crap from Mr. Benson! It makes me glad that I'm a COLLEGE sports fan!
Rest in Peace, Sir! That's all I have to say.
Hey, Divovid! That last comment was pretty deep--and TRUE!
I guess I should get to know you. See, when I first read some of your posts (on other topics), I got the sense that you seemed "intolerant" and "racial divisive." But lately, I see something that resembles more acceptance and openness in your work.
It's pretty nice to see more posts coming from positivity, not judgment and division.
Just the way MLK hoped it could be, right?
Next building to buy out: City Hall Annex on Canal Street. Do SOMETHING RIGHT with it--it's DISGUSTING to look at!
I can't wait to see if any of these kids will become professional ballroom dancers--or the "Stars" on Dancing With The Stars!
Thank you, Ms. Gomes--you're doing something WONDERFUL for our area...bringing class, elegance, and charm to these youngsters' lives! If Orleans Parish is smart enough, they'd come for you, too!
Kids--I'm very proud of you! You'e the brightest bright spot in this recovery era. "Save The Last Dance" and "Take The Lead" into your futures!
To the copper owners--lock it down as best you can.
To the copper thieves--once they're caught with stolen copper, use it against them (preferably in the hands and feet areas)!
Playing the "Hot Potato" game figuring out who (or what) dropped the "recovery chalupa" can perplex even the greatest of brains! But I do know this much--the "powers that be" in charge of THIS particular situation need to get their constipated selves all healed up and do right by these important civic heroes!
I guess the ACLU won't be satisfied until they can legally "beat-down" Jesus out of society!
Excuse my double print of "I'm assuming you are male)." I hate typos, but I'm human enough to know (and admit) that I make mistakes in sending out messages sometimes.
And to those who "misinterpret" Scripture (either through mistakes or through downright skewed-and-screwed up, secret agenda marketing), just ask God for forgiveness...and sin no more.
Take care and God bless, y'all!
MISTER Sazerac (I'm assuming you're male)...is it possible that some people don't have a "take over the world" agenda using the BibleI'm assuming you are male)? Is it truly possible that some people care about the afterlife of their inner brother (or sister) within their fellow brothers (or sisters)? And as far as planks/specks in my neighbor's eye, I know good-and-well about my PLETHORA of planks. I work on them every day--and then (hopefully) I can help my fellow brother (or sister) work on helping them remove their own. THAT'S my agenda--to help my people heal up, not beat them down!
Speaking of blabbering, try this one on me. I'm married...so is my husband my head (as in anatomical body part) or my fearless leader?
DUH, even I can deduce some of the Bible's context! I may be just an average-intelligence chick, but I can read between the Bible's lines and contextuality (my own-made-up word, I can do that, right?). And if I'm right, the original Bible was "published" in Arameic (sorry about the possible spelling error). Of course, I know that God didn't dictate the Bible in English--but when I read it, I find His Heart in the words as they were best translated to His scribes--and then if I have a problem understanding it, I ask Him...or go to the person He directs me to. Then, if I don't agree with the person who explained it to me (which has happened before), I, too, go to the Original Publisher (thanks Heart4Nola).
Mr. Sazerac, keep on believing what you believe. To my soldier in the struggle (Heart4Nola), stay strong! In the end, it's God's Word that shows itself the TRUEST!
Take care, y'all--and keep on rebuilding New Orleans the good ways!
Hey, Reggie--enjoy the spotlight, but remember to play the game for love (not money). Not chastising...just reminding. Beam that smile strong while you runshod over your opponents. Looking forward to seeing y'all out in Arizona as WINNERS!
GEAUX SAINTS--my prayers are with you!
"This is what the LORD says-- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go."- Isaiah 48:17
When has trusting God NOT been the best thing for us?
For those who think that God is NOT looking out for our GREATEST good, read Jeremiah 29:10--14. Nothing to misinterpret here...just trust Him to be good to His word!
Have a good day, everyone!
Hello, cspotbeggg! I'm back to answer your questions.
"Who are you to judge what is impure?" Well, since I'm no judge (just a native who's seen better festivals than Southern Decadence), all I can said is this--since it celebrates something that GOD calls an ABOMINATION, I think it qualifies as impure. Read Romans for a more detailed explanation
"Have you something against costuming?" I have NO problems with costuming--but like Fortius said (correctly) "...no self respecting Orleanian would be outside in drag in August." And if they are going to drag it up, do it with some style and class--not looking like horror-movie freak shows!
"Would you cancel Mardi Gras for the same reasons?" YES, I WOULD! Because once in my youth, I remember Mardi Gras being for the families--not for the breast-bearing, purposely drunken, "OOH, let me sin big-time in New Orleans because I can't/won't do it in my own hometown" reprobates! Once Mardi Gras becomes a BETTER party (and stops tolerating this whoredom for corruptible wealth), then I'll start loving it again! (Sorry to those folks who may not agree with me, but my pain needs its therapy.)
NOW...I know you probably won't be satisfied with these answers. But I bet that if you read from Ezekiel 16...and see how New Orleans fits into the chapter's metaphors (and truths)--you should see that God has had ENOUGH of the OLD New Orleans and spelled out its future. A future that New Orleans can reverse, once it decides whose will she will serve! We all know that's what it will come down to. The line in the sand is drawn--sides must be chosen. Choose wisely, because I won't let the innocents of the city suffer for the fools of the foreigners!
P.S.--Thank you to Fortius and John1978! It's nice to know that there are other warriors who speak the truth and make the real infidels itch in their skin! Shall we throw more itch powder?
And to UptownDoc--please partake of a Lucky Dog for me...and be safe, my friend! Blessings and Bounty to us all!
It propagates even more unhealthiness throughout New Orleans. And I could care less if the entire "Alternative Lifestyle" planet calls me a phobic--this kind of "fun" is NOT what my hometown should be endorsing and calling "good for the city!" The new New Orleans needs to grow up and cast off those things that kept it immature and impure--and SOUTHERN DECADENCE counts as BOTH!
Take this modern "Sodom & Gomorrah" saturnalia...SOMEWHERE ELSE! Let's rebuild New Orleans showing good, not evil!
This is for time2purge...
YOU...must be one sick-in-the-head person! I could care less about your gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion (or lack of religion), or other means of identification--it don't mean a hill of red beans to me! If you honestly believe in the essence of the messages you post, then you need to be SLAPTIZED into sense and some compassion for humanity...
Oh, wait! Just on the basis of your user name, I see all you want to have happen is for all the people you deem "unfit to live in YOUR perfect world" to just DISAPPEAR somewhere...away from your idealistically proper universe! I guess you're a fan of Hitlerology, aren't you? Purging has destroyed the world faster than it has ever purified it! And if you want to purge the world of psychopathic, bipolar, fanatical, and other types of folks you can't stand--look in your bathroom mirror, count up all of your social shortcomings...and drink lots of hyssop! Talk about being a new inner person...then maybe you can offer REAL solutions to the problems of the world!
Remember...this section is to post tributes to an "unofficial" New Orleans Saint. Let's keep that in mind...
And to Mr. Morgan, I hope you're showing the angels how to "jazz it up" with Father Satchmo and Brothers Al and Doc! And while you're at it, say Hey to Willie Metcalfe and Waldren "Frog" Joseph for me. Those were some cool jazz cats! R.I.P. Sir...and may your family be comforted in the times to come. In Jesus' name...AMEN!
Please, Louisiana--do right with this money! Give it to whom it's owed to, and don't do the red-tape thing, either! Just wise up and act you got some integrity, OK? Then maybe the nation will start respecting our government, for once!
THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS! Thank you for the generosity of your sacrifice of time, energy, and passion! Because of you, we'll have a city with a stronger infrastructure of buildings, roads, and landscape--you're helping with the OUTER infrastructure. Again, thanks (especially to those volunteers who helped clean up my old high school, McDonogh 35!)
But we New Orleanians are responsible for the emotional, spiritual, and social infrastructures of the city (or as I like to call it, NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR infrastructure). And here's where we're failing on that level...
"New Orleans...is still stuck in a timewarp of "racism", "sexism" and "classism" and would definitely clash with my "value system" and "...I really don't see too much people with "character" down in the Big Easy....." (thanks, cajundelyte).
If we can get healed from the 300 years of racial cancer infecting our city (yeah, I said it...and it's an out-of-control CANCER), you'd be amazed how quickly New Orleans can rebuild itself! GET THE POINT (especially to the bloggers who play the Race Card ad nauseum)?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active offers most of the features of the original S4, but with added protection & water resistance. Explore rugged mountains, jog in the rain, even take photos underwater, and your Active will survive – perfect if you want the highest tech, but need a sturdier phone too.
The essential tech specs.
The Active is able to last for up to 312 hours on standby or give you 17 hours of talk time thanks to its 2,600mAh battery. Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is preinstalled, giving loads of features and access to 1 million apps, while the processor is a mighty 1.9GHz quad core Snapdragon 600 chipset. The 5" screen is full 1080p HD resolution, so the sharpness is very high, 441 pixels per inch (PPI). On the back is an 8MP camera, and there's 16GB of storage for photos. Need more? Use microSD cards up to 64GB in size (sold separately).
IP67 water resistance.
The S4 Active meets IP67 certification, which means it's dust-tight, but also protected against water. In fact, to meet IP67, devices need to keep out 100% of water for 30 minutes while being submerged in 1 metre of water. Equipped with a water resistant earphone jack, the Galaxy S4 Active allows you to keep listening to music in even the wettest conditions. Whether capturing every moment of a wild rafting trip or taking a great underwater photo in the pool, the unique construction lets you capture amazing pictures which would have been impossible using a normal smartphone.
Still hugely powerful.
Featuring a 1.9GHz quad core processor and a huge 2,600mAh battery, your Samsung Galaxy S4 Active can handle the most intensive tasks with ease. The striking colour and resolution on the 5.0" Full HD touchscreen gives you a state of the art display for watching videos and playing games, and it also supports Air View and Air Gesture. These are ways of controlling the screen without having to touch it at all.
An 8MP camera that takes pictures underwater.
With an 8MP rear camera, plus a 2MP camera on the front, it's easy to take pictures wherever you are. Unique to the S4 Galaxy Active camera system is 'Aqua Mode', used to increase the quality and clarity for enhanced underwater images and videos. The volume key on the side of phone can also be used as a camera key, letting you open the camera app quickly to capture the moment. Even better, the camera transforms into a powerful LED flash light to light your way in low light, just a long press of the volume key and it'll fire up.
Loads of added bonuses.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has loads of other features too. The screen uses Glove Touch technology so you can control the phone whilst wearing gloves. The built-in WatchOn app combines with the infrared port to let you control your TV, and even see what's on now and next. Because it's a phone designed for being active, there's S-Health too, an app that tracks your daily activity to help you stay fitter and healthier.

The pictures below are from Iggy in New York. He sent me a picture of his fireplace and asked me what we can do to help him. Well sit down and watch. A new pan, hood, surround, tile and Starfire Base Glass! Nice insert, not! Just like "Nice Logs", not!
below is a template for the stainless steel pan
Below we added a pan
Below we added a vent which was taken out years ago.
Above you can see the the key valve and below you don't see it. Because we made a removable panel!
There you have it in Rochester New York, Iggy it looks great.
The next abomination I had to post! A customer asked me what he had to do to convert their fireplace! This is supposed to be an insert. Putting a fireplace in a fireplace is just nuts! If you were shown what they are or were going to do, would you still continue? I don't think so. This seems like a money making scheme to sell you something as ugly and idiotic as an insert. Why couldn't they come up with something more aesthetic or useful? I guess the fireplace industry is not very creative. After seeing so many of these the only advice I can give is RUN if anyone recommends an insert. You be the judge:
It looks like they hacked up the fireplace installing the flexible vent, nice job!
in my opinion, they butchered the fireplace and stuck in some insane part of a dead robot! It's a fireplace! Your looking for failure if you install this type of a fireplace.

Themed to be a ski resort on the side of a mountain (an interesting concept on both counts for being in central Florida). Featuring almost 20 themed water slides (some of which have minimum heights) various slides offer different methods of descent (toboggan, mats, etc.). There are also several circular streams to allow lazy floating on an inner tube. The main swimming pool at the base of Mt. Gushmore is almost an acre large and has a wave machine creating gentle swells.

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Opening Statment
"It was two different games, two halves of football and two different games. The biggest reason was because of turnovers. In the first half we turned the ball over three times. We had three different players turn it over. Cole [Gautsche] turned one over on a first down at midfield; I think it was the first series of the game if I'm right. Kasey [Carrier] turned one over. And then Lamaar [Thomas] in the wildcat. So we had three different turnovers in the first half. We were able to move the ball, but we had no points at halftime. Defensively, we've got to keep plugging away... keep plugging away. If we don't force some turnovers, we have a hard, hard time.
Come back the second half, obviously the second half kickoff was big because there was a turnover. That's why the second half was different than the first half. A.J. Butler stripped the ball out, Joe Stoner picked it up--that was another turnover.
The offense, really all night, we felt good about everything. Cole played the majority of the game because it was a triple-option game. They had a hard time adjusting; they had a hard time stopping it. So it was a tale of two halves. It comes back to turnovers for us. It's all about turnover with our football team.
It's something; we came in here 24th in the country in turnover margin. Where we are defensively right now, we can't afford to cough it up on offense. We have to force turnovers on defense.
Bad field position all night. Our offense, some of those were really impressive. We take that ball from the 5-yard line a couple times against a defense like that, was pretty impressive.
So it's frustrating because again, for us to win (particularly against a team like this, but really any team to be honest) we have to play flawless. We have to play flawless. And we're not really capable of that just yet. We're getting better.
I really appreciate our team in the second half .I really appreciate the fight. You're down 25-0 at halftime; they really pulled off a little bit right there at the end of the first half. Chris Peterson kind of sat on it a little bit. But the second half shows you what this can be. The atmosphere in the stadium, to be quite honest, was electric. You could feel it. And when that atmosphere is electric and we play decent to good football, you can see the results of that. It looked like a different team."
On what he told his players at halftime, down 25-0...
"Narrow the focus. Don't think about all of the ramifications. Don't think about what the final score might be. Don't think about how hard we worked and we might not get anything out of it. Just go play the second half."
On the Lobos' running attack...
"It's good. If we get some more explosives in there...If we get to where we have a few more explosive plays, it'll be really good. And when we can just throw it just a little better, which we'll be able to do at some point, you can see we're in the right scheme."

Hi Frank,
There are a lot of Huskies. Jamie Oleksiak played last season for Northeastern, and they are also the Huskies. He's been drafted by Dallas in the first round. He was very good against UMass last year, so the Minutemen hope he's not back with the Huskies, but turns pro.
Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for the comment. At the start of the year, it seemed that Casey was pretty sure he was going to stick up top. But every deficiency soon gets exposed in the NHL, and Casey still had plenty to work on when he was here.
apt, thanks for the feedback. Let's hope we can get these people to operate at a higher level.
Thanks to Sam, the interest in hockey here built to a frenzy, or we may not still have hockey here today. I know I wouldn't have become as hockey crazy as I did without him.
Thanks be to God for sharing him with us for so many years
I miss you already Sam.
Thank you so much, I've edited the blog to reflect your information. I agree, I don't see him playing another year at Merrimack. Hey, that Joe Cucci is pretty good himself.
Does it really say that?
Generations change, but college kids seem to stay the same
Hi Chicopee Resident,
I was away in Arizona last week, so I didn't get to see the games, but I've tracked down info.
Hobbs was injured, I didn't get a chance to check on Langeraap, but he'd be more likely to be a healthy scratch. They haven't been thrilled with his start.
Great question on the uniforms. I'm going to do a blog on it as a result. The answer is, much to my surprise, that the new uniforms are alternate ones. They will be used on weekends with two home games, one traditional, one new.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you so much, I've corrected it in the blog. Thanks for the feedback

Press release from Marketwire
CORRECTION: TeraGo's Q1 EBITDA Up 50%
Positive Momentum Entering 2012
Thursday, May 10, 2012
CORRECTION: TeraGo's Q1 EBITDA Up 50%11:43 EDT Thursday, May 10, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 10, 2012) -This document corrects and replaces the release that was sent on May 10th, 2012 at 7:00 AM ET. In the Key Financial & Operational Highlights table the headings for 2012 and 2011 were switched. The complete and corrected release follows:TeraGo Inc. (TSX:TGO) (www.terago.ca) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.First Quarter 2012 Financial and Operational HighlightsRevenue of $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, up 16% from $10.3 million in Q1 2011; EBITDA of $3.4 million, a 50% increase from Q1 2011; Positive quarterly net earnings of $0.2 million compared to a net loss of $(0.3) million in Q1 2011; Positive quarterly earnings per share of $0.02 compared to a loss per share of $(0.03) in the first quarter of 2011; Gross profit margin remained strong at 77.2% compared to 78.3% in prior year period; Added 73 net customer locations in Q1 2012, compared to 45 in Q4 2011, and 108 in the first quarter of 2011; Ended the period with 6,351 customer locations in service, an increase of 16% over 5,471 at the end of Q1 2011; Average revenue per customer location ("ARPU") for Q1 2012 was $619 compared to $618 in the same period in 2011; Average monthly churn rate for the first quarter 2012 was 1.01% compared to 1.02% for Q1 2011; and Ended Q1 2012 with $1.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and access to $3.0 million undrawn portion of the Company's $19.0 million credit facilities. First Quarter 2012 Key DevelopmentsTeraGo completed the MetroBridge asset purchase for $5.7 million in January 2012 by making the final payment of $1.5 million. Integration with TeraGo has been completed as expected. In March 2012, Industry Canada announced its intention to amend the Telecommunications Act (Canada) to exempt telecommunications companies with less than 10 percent of total Canadian telecommunications market revenue from foreign investment restrictions under that Act. If these proposed amendments become effective, the foreign ownership restrictions currently in place for smaller telecommunications companies, including TeraGo, would be lifted. The Company expanded its wireless network to offer an expanded line-up of internet access, voice, and private network services to its Burlington, Ontario area customers. Following a competitive process, TeraGo selected KPMG, LLP as its auditors for the year ended December 31, 2012. Events Subsequent to March 31, 2012TeraGo expanded its market footprint with the addition of the main business area of Milton, Canada's fastest growing municipality. In May 2012, the Company obtained an additional $1.0 million term debt facility with RBC on similar terms as the existing facilities, bringing its total credit facilities to $20.0 million. The new facility has a fixed rate of interest, must be drawn before September 30, 2012 and at a rate of interest set at the time of any draw. TeraGo improved its ranking among Canada's top technology companies for the fifth consecutive year, rising to 94th on the Branham300 List for 2012. Bryan Boyd, President and CEO, TeraGo Inc. said "We're pleased to see momentum in our revenue, EBITDA and earnings performance. The first quarter has given us a strong foundation for further growth in the remainder of 2012 and beyond."Key Financial & Operational Highlights(All financial results are in thousands, except gross profit margin, loss per share and operating metrics)Three months ended March 3120122011(Unaudited)(Unaudited)FinancialRevenue$12,005$10,330Gross profit margin77.2%78.3%EBITDA*$3,352$2,239Earnings (loss) from operations$396$(125)Net earnings (loss)$212$(330)Net earnings (loss) per share$0.02$(0.03)OperatingChurn rate*1.01%1.02%Customer locations in service6,3515,471ARPU*$619$618Number of employees200194* See Non-GAAP Measures belowFirst Quarter 2012 Results of OperationsRevenueTotal revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased 16.2% to $12.0 million compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2011. The increase largely resulted from the greater number of customer locations in service as well as existing customers upgrading their Internet and data connections. Approximately 98% of first quarter 2012 revenue was recurring service revenue.Customer locations266 new customer additions (including 2 from the cellular backhaul segment) in Q1 2012 (276 in Q1 2011, including 35 from the cellular backhaul segment) resulted in 73 net customer locations added (108 in Q1 2011). The period ended with 6,351 customer locations in service, 16% growth since March 31, 2011. The Company also completed more than 145 cellular backhaul site upgrades in the first quarter of 2012 (vs no upgrades in Q1 2011), which will drive revenue in future periods.Weather conditions typically negatively impact net customer growth in the first quarter. The majority of new customer locations require the installation of rooftop equipment and winter weather reduces the number of productive installation days.Churn rateThe average monthly churn rate in the first quarter of 2012 declined slightly to 1.01% compared to 1.02% in Q1 2011. Management continues to strive for lower churn rates by focusing on network quality, customer service, and customer creditworthiness.Gross marginThe gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 remained strong at 77.2% compared to 78.3% for the same period in 2011. This slight decrease is primarily due to an increase in telecommunication and other support costs as a result of the MetroBridge acquisition, annual increases in property access costs and higher maintenance costs.SG&AFirst quarter SG&A (Salaries and related costs - Other, and Other operating items) expenses of $6.4 million were the same as for Q1 2011. This was largely a result of lower bad debt and certain other expenses offsetting an investment in additional sales and marketing capacity and associated recruiting costs. TeraGo had 37 sales personnel at quarter end, up from 29 a year earlier. EBITDAQ1 2012 EBITDA increased 49.7% to $3.4 million compared with $2.2 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is in line with management's expectations as TeraGo continued to increase revenue while focusing on cost management.Net earnings (loss)Net earnings for the first quarter were $0.2 million, compared to a net loss of $(0.3) million in Q1 2011. Quarterly net earnings per share were $0.02 compared to a net loss of $(0.03) for the comparable period in 2011.Earnings, as well as cash flow and EBITDA, are typically impacted in the first quarter due to annual spectrum payments, annual rate increases in long-term contracts, and the January 1 resumption of payroll taxes and other levies related to employee compensation.There were two additional and significant uses of cash in the first quarter of 2012 - the final $1.516 million payment for the MetroBridge acquisition and the payment of $1.845 million for the Company's outstanding Restricted Share Units that vested in the quarter and extinguishes a liability that has been accruing over a three-year period. As a result, cash outflows in the first quarter were significantly higher than normal.Capital resourcesAt March 31, 2012, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.5 million and access to the $3.0 million undrawn portion of its $19.0 million credit facilities.Management believes the Company's current cash, short-term investments, anticipated cash from operations, access to the undrawn portion of debt facilities and its access to additional financing in the form of debt or equity will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. ARPUAverage monthly revenue per customer location, or ARPU, increased slightly to $619 in the first quarter of 2012 from $618 for the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily a result of service capacity upgrades by existing customers and a higher proportion of new customers choosing higher capacity services or voice services, partially offset by lower usage revenue.Shares outstandingAs of May 4, 2012, TeraGo had 7,673,768 Common Shares, 3,633,474 Class A Non-Voting Shares and two Class B Shares outstanding.TeraGo's spectrum portfolioTeraGo owns 76 spectrum licences in the 24 GHz and 38 GHz bands, covering Canadian markets with a population base of nearly 23 million and plans to use this additional spectrum to provide Ethernet-based broadband links for businesses, government and cellular backhaul, as part of the Company's growth strategy.Conference Call and WebcastManagement will host a conference call on Thursday, May 10, 2012, at 8.30 a.m. EDT to discuss these results.

TeraGo's unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012, and the notes thereto, and its Management Discussion and Analysis for the same period, have been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.Non-GAAP MeasuresThe term "EBITDA" refers to earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a term commonly used to evaluate operating results. We believe that EBITDA is useful additional information to management, the Board and Investors as it provides an indication of the operational results generated by our business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset depreciation and amortization. We also exclude foreign exchange gain or loss, finance costs, finance income, gain or loss on disposal of network assets, property and equipment and stock-based compensation from our calculation of EBITDA. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating earnings or net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of our financial performance or as a measure of our liquidity and cash flows. EBITDA does not take into account the impact of working capital changes, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Our method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.The term "ARPU" refers to our average revenue per customer location. We believe that ARPU is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of our revenue from an individual customer location on a per month basis. ARPU is not a recognized measure under IFRS and, accordingly, investors are cautioned that ARPU should not be construed as an alternative to revenue determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of our financial performance. We calculate ARPU by dividing our service revenue by the average number of customer locations in service during the period and we express ARPU as a rate per month. Our method of calculating ARPU may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, ARPU may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.The term "churn" or "churn rate" is a measure, expressed as a percentage, of customer locations terminated in a particular month. Churn represents the number of customer locations disconnected per month as a percentage of total number of customer locations in service during the month. The Company calculates churn by dividing the number of customer locations disconnected during a period by the total number of customer locations in service during the period. Churn and churn rate are not recognized measures under IFRS and, accordingly, investors are cautioned in using it. TeraGo's method of calculating churn and churn rate may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, churn may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release includes certain forward-looking statements that are made as of the date hereof and that are based upon current expectations, which involve risks and uncertainties associated with our business and the economic environment in which the business operates.

Craig | Denton, Texas, United States
I have quit smoking for about 3 months now and I just decided to stop one day. Every time I really wanted a cigarette I would rush out the house and sprint as fast as I could down the street and back. I also work at an office building and everytime I was having a fit I would get out of my chair and do 10 pushups. If you can get past the funny looks this method works rather well. You also want to carry around candies of some kind that will keep your mind busy.

Chazy at Willsboro boys soccer
Pictures from the Sept. 21 game between the Chazy Eagles and Willsboro Warriors boys soccer teams.
Willsboro At the onset, it looked like your typical game between two of the best Class D soccer teams in Section VII as the Chazy Eagles and Willsboro Warriors took to the pitch Sept. 21.
That all changed in the 17th minute, as Willsboro's Clay Sherman scored the first of three first half goals for the Warriors, leading to a 3-1 victory.
"I anticipated the defender going back to intercept the ball, so I wanted to be aggressive," Sherman said of the 50-50 ball he was able to track down. "I was able to beat one defender and then beat the goalie to the left."
Sherman was assisted on the goal by Sam Politi, who cleared the ball out of the Willsboro defensive area.
"That gave us a ton of momentum," Sherman said. "We played for the next 20 minutes on adrenaline."
"Sherman was doing his job for us, and the goal was a big morale booster," sweeper Dakota Sayward said. "It gave us the confidence to keep pushing up."
Clayton Cross scored the second goal for the Warriors on a scramble in front of the Chazy net in the 22nd minute, and Nick Arnold scored the third goal in the 32nd minute when a corner kick by Jeffrey Bigelow deflected off the hands of Chazy goalie Austin Santor and onto Arnold's foot.
The Eagles appeared to score their first goal just before the end of the first half, but the play was ruled offsides, one of three scoring chances for Chazy that was called back.
The Eagles finally scored in the 75th minute, when a cross by Jordan Barriere found the head of Nathan Reynolds for the lone Chazy tally.
"We got beat by a better team today," Chazy head coach Rob McAuliffe said. "If you don't play well against a good team, then they are going to beat you."

Jim Bentley felt his Morecambe side were beaten by the better team on the day as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to promotion rivals Rochdale.
Mark Hughes' own goal and a strike from Scott Hogan put Keith Hill's Dale in command before the Shrimps hit back courtesy of Padraig Amond's well-taken effort a minute from time.
But it proved too little, too late for Bentley's side, who suffered a third defeat in four league games and slipped down to eighth in the League Two table.
He said: "I wanted a response after losing in the FA Cup last week and I think I got that.
"There was no lack of effort and commitment but we did lack a bit of quality where it mattered and they took full advantage.
"They just seemed to have a bit extra when it mattered and once they got ahead it gave them a shot in the arm and they scored a good second goal which obviously gave them the upper hand.
"To our credit we had a go after that but we didn't pass the ball well enough when it mattered and although we got one back we gave ourselves too much to do.
"They are a very good side, probably the best I have seen this season, and sometimes you have to put your hands up and say that. I think they will definitely be up there at the end of the season."

With new romance sparking between Han Hye Jin and Ki Sung Yueng, the spotlight has been also directed into Brown Eyed Soul Naul's direction, especially with his newly released song.
On March 22, Younha released It's Not That, which was composed and written by Naul.
The song is about the difficulties of getting over a breakup and the desperate cries for the past lover to return.
It's Not That has been attracting much attention with Han Hye Jin and Ki Sung Yueng admitting their blossoming relationship, making netizens wonder if Naul has not yet gotten over his and Han Hye Jin's relationship.
Naul's agency has stepped forward and said the song has nothing to do with his breakup and was created a year ago.
In the meanwhile, It's Not That has jumped up in music charts, placing within the top five spots of various music sites.
Naul and Han Hye Jin broke up after nine years. They formally announced their breakup in December of 2012.

|OMA's Prada Transformer Opens to Public
|Thursday, 23 April 2009 10:09
The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is proud to announce the opening of the Prada Transformer pavilion, a pioneering temporary structure that will be picked up by cranes and rotated to accommodate a variety of cultural events. The pavilion was opened in Seoul today by the Minister of Culture of South Korea and the Mayor of Seoul in the presence of Miuccia Prada and OMA founder Rem Koolhaas.
The 20-metre high Prada Transformer is located adjacent to the 16th Century Gyeonghui Palace in the centre of Seoul. The pavilion consists of four basic geometric shapes – a circle, a cross, a hexagon, a rectangle – leaning together and wrapped in a translucent membrane. Each shape is a potential floor plan designed to be ideal for the cultural programming unfolding over the next three months: a fashion exhibition, a film festival, an art exhibition, and finally a Prada fashion show. Walls will become floors and floors will become walls as the pavilion is flipped over by three cranes after each event to accommodate the next.

Hypertension and Stroke Special Report
Coping With Side Effects of Blood Pressure Medication
Health After 50 Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and Stroke Blood Pressure Medication Side Effects
From constipation to headaches to increased sensitivity to cold, there are many common side effects to blood pressure medications. Heres practical advice to help you cope!
If you are taking medication to control your blood pressure, you may experience symptomssome of which may be side effects from the blood pressure medication. Many medication-related side effects diminish with time, but if they persist or are troublesome, your doctor may be able to minimize them by lowering the dosage, switching you to another drug, or prescribing medication to counteract the side effects. Alternatively, some side effectsparticularly the less severe onescan be managed with lifestyle or self-care measures.
The measures you can take for some common side effects of blood pressure medication are described below. Always consult your doctor before taking any over-the-counter remedies or making changes to your diet.
Common blood pressure medication side effects:
- Constipation (caused by calcium channel blockers and central alpha agonists). Eat foods high in fiber (such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, bran, and legumes) and engage in moderate exercise on most days of the week. If these measures arent helpful, ask your doctor about laxatives.
- Dehydration (caused by loop diuretics). Drink plenty of fluids each day. If you consume beverages containing alcohol or caffeine, do so in moderation.
- Dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting (caused by all types of antihypertensive medications but especially alpha-blockers). When standing up from a seated position, rise slowly. When getting up from a recumbent position, sit on the edge of the bed with your feet dangling for one to two minutes; then stand up slowly. Be especially careful about rising slowly when getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Be careful not to overexert yourself during exercise or in hot weather. Also, try to avoid standing for long periods of time and consuming large amounts of alcohol.
- Drowsiness (caused by alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, central alpha agonists, and peripheral-acting adrenergic antagonists). Ask your doctor if you can take your medication once a day 30 minutes before bedtime. If you need to take multiple doses each day, ask if the last dose can be taken close to bedtime. Also, try to avoid other medications that can lead to drowsiness, such as antihistamines, sleeping pills, prescription pain relievers, and muscle relaxants.
- Dry mouth (caused by central alpha agonists). Try sucking on sugarless candy, chewing sugarless gum, or melting ice cubes in your mouth. If these measures do not provide relief, ask your doctor about a saliva substitute.
- Frequent urination at night (caused by beta-blockers and diuretics). Ask your doctor whether you can take your medication in a single dose in the morning after breakfast. If you require more than one dose daily, ask whether you can take the last dose before 6 P.M.
- Headaches (caused by ACE inhibitors, alpha-blockers, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, and direct vasodilators). Taking a hot shower or bath, pressing a cold pack to the painful area, regular exercise, and deep breathing may relieve headaches. If these measures arent helpful ask your doctor to recommend a headache medication.
- Increased sensitivity to cold (caused by alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, and direct vasodilators). Dress warmly and be sure to keep your ears, hands, and feet covered in cold weather. Take extra precautions when you anticipate prolonged exposure to cold.
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight (caused by beta-blockers, direct vasodilators, and diuretics). Try to avoid direct sunlight, particularly between the hours of 10 A.M. and 3 P.M., when the suns rays are strongest. Protect yourself from the sun by wearing protective clothing (including a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses) and using sunblock and lip balm with an SPF of at least 15. Do not use sunlamps or tanning beds or booths.
- Potassium loss (caused by loop and thiazide diuretics). Increase your intake of potassium-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables. Alternatively, your doctor may add a potassium supplement or a potassium-sparing diuretic to your treatment regimen.
- Tender, swollen, or bleeding gums (caused by calcium channel blockers). Practice good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing teeth and massaging gums daily. Have your teeth cleaned regularly by a dentist.
- Upset stomach (caused by angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-blockers, direct vasodilators, and diuretics). Ask your doctor if you can take your medication with meals or with a glass of milk.
