Powerball jackpot builds to $325 million for Saturday
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 1:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 1:24 p.m.
DES MOINES, Iowa — The jackpot for Powerball's Saturday drawing has climbed to $325 million, the fourth-largest in the game's history.
A single winner's cash payout would be nearly $213 million before taxes.
Powerball organizers say this is the first run-up to a large jackpot that's fallen over a major holiday. They're unsure whether Thanksgiving and Black Friday will help or hinder sales.
Powerball jackpots have increased more rapidly since the game's organizers doubled the ticket price to $2 in January. An Iowa couple won $202 million in a Sept. 26 drawing, and an anonymous winner in Delaware got $50 million prize the next week.
Roxie Breece, assistant manager at a Cenex convenience store in Ogallala, Neb., says far more Powerball tickets than usual have been sold over the past week.

Caring for a Continent Ileostomy or K-Pouch
In this article
How Do I Care for the Continuous Draining Catheter and My Skin?
Good skin and catheter care need to be continued after you go home from the hospital. It is important to keep the skin around the catheter clean and protected, as well as make sure the catheter is open and draining. The following guidelines will help you properly care for your catheter.
1. Gather the following supplies
- Washcloths or paper towels
- Non-oily soap (Ivory and Dial are recommended brands)
- Plastic bag or newspaper
- Dressing
- Irrigation supplies: tap water, bulb syringe, and basin
2. Wash your hands with soap and warm water and dry them with a clean towel.
3. Irrigate the catheter.
- Remove the dressing over the stoma and discard it.
- Separate the catheter from the drainage bag and drain the contents of the catheter into the basin.
- Collect 30 cc (1 ounce) of tap water into the bulb syringe. Tip: Highlight the 30 cc mark on the bulb syringe with permanent marker or nail polish for accurate, easy measurement.
- Insert the 30 cc of tap water into the catheter by slowly squeezing the bulb syringe to release the water.
- While holding the syringe bulb down with your thumb, pinch the catheter and separate the bulb syringe from the catheter.
- Unpinch the catheter and drain its contents into the basin. Do not withdraw the fluid from the catheter into the syringe.
- If the fluid you just put in seems to be taking a long time to come back out, or if mucus blocks the catheter, repeat the previous irrigation steps as needed until stool flows freely through the catheter. If water doesn't go in or come back out, the tube may be blocked. You may have to remove the catheter from the stoma and rinse it with cool tap water to clean any mucus built up inside the catheter. Then reinsert the catheter. Do not put in more than 60cc (or 2 ounces) of water without the pouch contents emptying.
- When the stool flow has stopped, continue to step four.
4. Reconnect the catheter.
5. Cleanse the skin around the stoma and catheter.
- Wash the skin around the stoma and catheter with non-oily soap and warm water.
- Rinse the skin thoroughly with warm water.
- Pat the skin dry with a soft towel or paper towel.
- Apply two layers of "split" dry gauze dressing around the catheter and over the stoma. Secure with tape as needed.
- Discard the waste.
- Wash the basin and the bulb syringe with soap and warm water. Let the supplies air dry, or dry with a clean towel.
- Wash, rinse, and dry your hands.

Knitter's Review
August 18, 2005
August is the perfect month to take stock of your yarn stash, get rid of what you don't need, and figure out what to do with the yarn you've kept.
But if you're like me, your stash is overrun with half-used skeins that have long lost their labels. How do you know how much yarn is there, and what its ideal gauge and needle size are?
Starting this week I'll give you answers in a series of articles about
figuring out the yardage in your extra skeins
so you can put them to good use.
In the Boutique: Lovely Limoges
Offered as collectibles in the boutique, our Limoges handpainted porcelain boxes would be a lovely addition to your knitting corner. Each box is handpainted and signed by the artist in Limoges, France. This week, I've put the
sheep, spinning wheel, and "Three Little Kittens" boxes
on sale. They're available while supplies last, and when they're gone, they're gone.
In the Forums: Color Inspiration?
Do you have any tips for
picking colors that work well together
in a project?

I'll never forget my lowest shoe moment. The owner of a trendy Oakland shoe store made me crawl around her stock room looking for shoes in my small size.
"We don't really order 5 or 5-and-a-half anymore," she said, staring at my slender feet. "But you're welcome to check out whatever inventory we have in the back."
Think having big feet sucks? Try having Cinderella feet. As a size 5-and-a-half, I've done everything from stuffing multiple insoles into shoes and wearing ridiculously thick socks to be able to wear a too-big size 6. Even after having a baby and watching my feet widen ever so slightly, I'm still more comfortable in a size 5-and-a-half.
What's more, the buzz among shoe buyers is that, thanks to evolution and obesity, size 5 and 5-and-a-half are getting the boot. The result? More and more casepacks will come in the new standard, sizes 6-to-11. It's only a matter of time before finding shoes gets even harder for me.
Luckily, there are some manufacturers and retailers for whom extended footwear has become a brand distinction.

The tape ends right after the last note is played.

A new weight loss drug means big gains for Aiken County's job market.
The drug is bringing a $65 million expansion at a local plant that was once near closing.
This is the sound of expansion.
150 new jobs and $65 million of infrastructure are being added to Aiken's GlaxoSmithKline plant.
A small weight loss pill called Alli is bringing the big expansion. If the FDA approves it, it will be the only over-the-counter weight loss drug in the country.
Good news for the job market, and the 300 plus existing employees like Jessie Barton.
"Jobs coming here is job security for me. It makes me feel better that I'm working for a company that's looking at expanding versus tearing down," Barton says.
A few years ago, the Aiken plant was scaling back.
In 1995, they cut 18 percent of their jobs.
Things were so bad that until last year they had a plan in case they needed to close.
The competition: 80 other GlaxoSmithKline plants across the world.
Fred Humes with the Economic Development Partnership says landing this expansion was not a slam-dunk.
"In this global society it literally can go worldwide," Humes says.
He credits the local workforce and the incentive package, which includes a property tax break.
Plant manager Carson Sublett says the company worked hard to make Aiken's facility stand out.
"Really get good at business development and bring in new products and learn to find our niche within GlaxoSmithKline that one of the other eighty plants wasn't fulfilling," Sublett says.
Governor Mark Sanford attended Wednesday's announcement and says this is part of a trend.
He says South Carolina has gained a net of 112,000 jobs in the last three years, putting the state in the top third in the U.S. for employment gains.

Lance Champney and Shawn Oliver have been ice-fishing since they were kids. Even with only fifteen years on the ice, both say they've seen the effects of climate change on their favorite winter pastime. Warmer weather and more wind has made the ice less safe and even shortened the season.

Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Unveiled
Narisawa, a Tokyo restaurant that applies French technique to local Japanese ingredients, topped the inaugural S. Pellegrino Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, announced Monday night in Singapore.
Nihonryori Ryugin, also in Tokyo, came second, while Nahm, a Thai restaurant in Bangkok, placed third. Two French restaurants placed fourth and fifth: Hong Kong's Amber and Singapore's Restaurant Andre.
Yoshihiro Narisawa, chef-owner of his namesake restaurant, told the Journal the No. 1 ranking came as a "big surprise. I can't believe it." He describes his cuisine as "innovative satoyama," a word used to describe the Japanese mountain landscape, and attributes the award to his restaurant's uniqueness.
"I don't know what attracts people to my restaurant, but I know what I do is not found anywhere else. You cannot replicate it," he said after the awards ceremony at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore.
A spinoff of the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants, which started in 2002, the Asia rankings follow a similar methodology to its global counterpart, with an appointed panel of chefs, food writers and industry insiders who all vote for the restaurants they think are the best in the region.
Paul Pairet, a French-born chef based in Shanghai, won the list's Lifetime Achievement Award, and has two restaurants in the top 10: Mr. & Mrs. Bund, No. 7, and Ultraviolet, No. 8.
According to Mr. Pairet, the new awards are an acknowledgement that Asia's restaurant scene stands up to global standards. "The whole world is competing with each other," he said. "We definitely think we're as good as anyone in the West."
In the past, a place on the World's 50 Best list could mean a major boost to business. But Mr. Narisawa says he can't get any busier since his 25-seat restaurant is already booked solid.
His advice to those wanting to get into his place for dinner: Call on the first day of the month, the day he takes reservations for the entire month ahead.
"There is no priority," he said. "You call first, you get a place."
Below is the full list of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. What do you think of the rankings? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

SACRAMENTO -- The knockdown, drag-out partisan fights, stretching on for months, are history. These days, state budget negotiations are downright cordial.
According to Capitol sources briefed on closed-door budget negotiations, the administration of Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic lawmakers have quietly reached deals on funding prekindergarten, pumping more money into the state's beleaguered court system and funding levels for the state's controversial bullet train.
Suddenly robust state finances and voter-approved measures that made it possible to pass a budget with a simple majority and dock lawmakers' pay if they don't meet the June 15 deadline to pass a budget are responsible for much of the civility. But this year's discussions also showed that Brown and the Democratic-controlled Legislature that some had predicted would want to spend wildly are pretty much on the same page.
"They have a lot of differences, but at the end of the day, the differences are not so great that they can't find a way to compromise and get the budget done on time," said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution and top aide to former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson.
Previously, legislative leaders had already struck deals with the Brown administration on some key issues, including a new "rainy day fund" and a plan to fund teacher pensions. And they're expected to spend the rest of the week ironing out several other deals ahead of the midnight Sunday deadline.
Deciding whether to allow home aides who work for the state's In-Home Supportive Services program to earn overtime pay could prove to be the most thorny issue in this year's budget talks. Meetings on the topic have been "heated," said sources with knowledge of the discussions.
New federal rules require America's in-home workers to get overtime pay starting next year, but Brown says it will be too costly for California and instead wants to limit aides to 40-hour work weeks.
After proposing a $160 million increase in spending for California's courts, Brown has reportedly agreed to another modest bump in funding for the judicial system, whose budget was hit hard at the height of the state's financial crisis.
And while the governor would not agree to back Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg's $1 billion plan to enroll all 4-year-olds in "quality preschools," Brown has agreed to support a scaled-down proposal to expand access for many low-income children, according to sources, who declined to offer specifics.
Brown and Democratic legislative leaders have also nailed down a framework for spending the cap-and-trade proceeds now collected annually from the state's worst polluters in the fight against greenhouse gases and climate change.
The governor wanted to allocate a third of the fees -- roughly $850 million in the next fiscal year -- to construction of the bullet train. But that figure may drop to as low as 15 percent, with another 5 percent of proceeds spent on intercity rail projects, said Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Senate's budget and fiscal review committee.
Moving forward, Brown has reportedly agreed to Senate Democrats' pitch to spend a little less than half of the cap-and-trade money generated each year on affordable housing constructed near "green" transit, such as trains and light-rail lines.
"The governor was clear that he wanted some cap-and-trade money spent on high-speed rail, but his comments on what to do with the rest of the money were much more brief," Leno said. "That's where the Senate's plan comes into play."
Another key point of contention is deciding just how much surplus money the state has -- a pleasant reversal from just a few years ago when the state's budget was $26 billion in the red.
Last month, Brown proposed a $107.7 billion general fund spending plan built on conservative estimates for capital gains tax revenue, which came in higher than expected this year but is historically volatile.
The Legislative Analyst's Office projects California will net $2.5 billion more in tax revenue next year compared to Brown's plan. And Democratic leaders say they believe the nonpartisan office.
"The LAO has a long-standing reputation for making revenue projections analytically, not politically," said Rhys Williams, a spokesman for Steinberg.
Despite the differences, political experts say, wrestling with a surplus rather than a deficit makes it a lot easier to please all parties.
"No one will walk away hungry or without something," said Larry Gerston, a political science professor at San Jose State. "But negotiating these last few issues is never a simple task."

With just five days left before the Legislature's June 15 deadline to pass a state budget, Democratic lawmakers are working closely with Gov. Jerry Brown to resolve their last disagreements:
REVENUE: Brown wants a $107.7 billion budget built on conservative capital gains tax revenue estimates, and Democratic legislative leaders want a spending plan based on the state legislative analyst's estimate, which is $2.5 billion higher.
HOME CARE WORKERS: Brown wants to block home care workers from earning overtime pay, a move that he says would save the state $91 million next year. The Legislature wants to pay overtime because lawmakers believe failing to do so undermines the entire In-Home Supportive Services program.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN: Brown refused to support Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg's plan for universal preschool for 4-year-olds, but he has agreed to fund a limited expansion of services for low-income 4-year-olds.
BULLET TRAIN FUNDING: Brown wanted to spend a third of annual cap-and-trade proceeds on high-speed-rail construction, but he has agreed to a smaller allocation and supports a plan to spend some proceeds on affordable housing and "green" transit.
COURTS: Brown has agreed to increase spending on the state's 58 trial courts, the California Supreme Court and the Administrative Office of the Courts -- something lawmakers considered a top priority.

About the Book
From bestselling authors James Rollins and Grant Blackwood, the first installment in an exciting new thriller series based on the Sigma Force novels featuring former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his partner, Army working dog Kane, introduced in the New York Times bestseller Bloodline and the e-original story "Tracker."
Former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his military working dog Kane are recruited by Sigma Force to extract a Russian pharmaceutical magnate from Siberia. A scientific genius, the drug tycoon holds the biological key to a new weapon system, a danger engineered from the ancient past to terrorize the modern world.
From the frozen steppes of Russia to the sun-blasted savannahs of Africa, Tucker and Kane must piece together a mystery going back to the origins of life on Earth—before the ancient peril can destroy the heartland of America, and with it, all of humankind.
Who does the U.S. government call upon when a mission requires perfect stealth, execution, and discretion?
From the two bestselling masters of action and political intrigue, James Rollins and Grant Blackwood, comes the first in a groundbreaking new series, featuring Captain Tucker Wayne and his stalwart military dog, Kane, both ripped from the pages of Sigma Force for their first solo adventure. It will take this uniquely talented pairing of man and beast to discover the earth-shattering truth behind . . .
The Kill Switch
The mission seems simple enough: extract a pharmaceutical magnate from Russian soil, a volatile man who holds the secret to a deadly bioweapon. But nothing is as it appears to be. A desperate call from Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, thrusts Tucker and Kane into a frantic race to rescue the brilliant-but-deluded Abram Bukolov from a cadre of skilled assassins, a deadly team backed by a shadowy Russian general, a figure bent on revenge and power.
Hunted and betrayed at every turn, Tucker and Kane must discover the truth behind a biological threat, a horror out of the ancient past that can be weaponized to terrorize the modern world. The journey of discovery will take the pair across the frozen steppes of Russia to the sun-blasted savannahs of South Africa, from the war-torn mountains of Namibia to the snowy Great Lakes of the United States.
As time rapidly runs out, the deep and intimate bond between dog and soldier will be tested to the extreme. It will take all of their skill, talent, and, most of all, trust in each other to piece together a mystery going back to the origins of life on Earth, to discover the key to an ancient peril that can destroy the heartland of America, and, with it, the world.

Kerry Lynn McCashin, daughter of Mrs. Lynn McCashin and Dr. Fred McCashin of Southern Pines, N.C., was married yesterday to Christopher Porter Batty, son of Mrs. Jill Corbett and Mr. Derek Batty of Long Island, N.Y. Time to embarrass them.
The bride, 32, will be taking her husband's name. She graduated from UNC Wilmington in 2000 and most recently worked as an Art Director at McCann Erickson. In early 2009 Kerry left her job to focus on the arduous task of planning a massive wedding, something she accomplished with serious gusto. There was even an oyster bar! Her father is a world renowned equine veterinarian at the Carolina Equine Clinic, and her mother is the director of development and community relations at ChildSavers, a non-profit organization committed to the mental well being of children.
The bridegroom, 36, is our boss at Gawker Media. As VP of Sales for the past 5 years, Christopher championed the sponsored post format that you're currently reading (see, we told you this stuff works!), as well as various other advertising innovations you've all complained about at one point or another. He graduated from Tulane in 1996 as a Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ask him about the tattoo) and no longer has a warrant out for his arrest in the state of New York. His father and mother don't have LinkedIn or Facebook pages, so we can't really tell you what they do.
The wedding was an absolutely stunning affair, complete with black tie reception and entertainment by New Orleans' own Kermit Ruffins. Of course, most of Gawker Sales and HQ found our way down to the coniferous outback for the ceremonies, pictures of which can be found below (photo creds to Katz).
The Gawker Sales team wishes Chris and Kerry all the best together. Congratulations!

The Ashley Williams debate
While it is just a load of paper talk, some people here seem to have a massive problem for us to buy Williams in the summer. Why though?
With Carra going, we are going to have to sign a general at the back. Someone who can organise and give grief to the boys when they need it. Williams ticks these boxes for me. The fact that he's played under Rodgers before is a bonus. He also gives 100% every game and he is calm on the ball as well. Someone needs to explain to me why he would be so bad for the team. Some have mentioned Samba, and I wouldn't mind them both!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
For me it's just because i'm a wary of players from mid table, we have witnessed how hard it is for players to adjust to the expectations of liverpool. If we are to get someone who is older who can come straight into the first team I would rather that was someone who has experience of playing with a big club, in big games and preferably winning. A been their and done it kind of guy. Williams would have a lot to prove and i'm not sure he would be able to command the respect from the other players that a centre back sergeant needs. There must be better out there although I confess that I have no idea who the ageing great that i'm on about might be.
De Vrij seems to be mentioned a lot in the press as someone we are keeping tabs on, a young promising player that fits the FSG transfer mould. Same goes for Dede apart from everyone is interested in him and is supposed to be 'the next big thing', would be coup if we can sign him. Both are also reported to be very comfortable on the ball so would appeal to Rodgers. I can't see him going for Samba in a million years.
I said on another thread before that I think Kelly and Wisdom really need to considered as candidates as well. When you think about it Kelly's CV is just as good as the young guys mentioned in the press.

The way I see it is this.. players from mid table clubs just can't get to grips with how things are done at LFC..If we buy mid table players then we'llhave a mid table team..
Yes Kelly( if fully fit) is in every way every bit as good as Williams so why does BR have to go back to what he sees as his "well of ex players" hes managed and buy yet another making four in total, none of the other three hes bought in have yet proven their worth for me . Wisdom too I would certainly consider starting at centreback before this Williams being bought...however I sense that the Williams thing is already a done deal but if hes so good how come Laudrup would let such a crucial piece of the spine of his team leave ?...Unless it was once again LFC paying "silly money" for someone just not worth that kind of fee. Clearly Laudrup is saying that there are far better players than his current starting centre back Williams out there and with the silly money we will have to give him for Williams ( he knows theres nobody out there who would offer same money for him as his ex manger) he will go out and purchase someone he KNOWS to be better. For these reasons I think it far better that BR resolves to say "Enough with these Swansea players !" And lets cast the net wide.

Williams does seem to have some momentum behind him when it comes to the rumor mill, but I think it better to step back and think about what we are after rather than come up with a list of names and asking who fits.
Seems to me the two reasons that Cara has seen so much playing time recently is down to his form which has been like an Indian summer, but also because he brings something beyond just talent to the party. I mean let's be honest, and some on here have not been shy about giving him stick in the past, Cara is not the ideal player anymore, he's slow and lost what little pace he might have once had, he's not great in the air, and rarely a threat with the noggin offensively, and he's not what most would consider a cultured ball playing at his feet footballer, but why has he become a starter again?
For me the simple answer is he's a leader. He knows the game, he knows the system, he organizes those around him, and not just because he screams his head off (yes he's vocal) people actually listen and follow him.
For me that is what we're looking for, and so long as they meet minimum (hopefully exceed) requirements in terms of footballing ability its who we should be considering, and since Williams seems to tick many of those boxes even if he's not a big established name, I think that is why his name keeps coming up.
There may be a case for others, and to be honest as I don't follow much football outside the prem I can't comment on some of the players mentioned in this thread. However if they are being mentioned because they are good defenders, or good footballers that maybe only half of what is required, and not even the most important half, unless they are also leaders. Same applies to the lads mentioned already with us. I have a lot of time for Kelly and Wisdom, both good footballers I expect a lot from over time, but are they leaders? Put it this way if we were just looking for a good defender, why are we not seeing the combination of Agger and Skrtel more often? Both are very good defenders, both can get the job done; but neither is a general which is what we need.

Dave agree with u Carra brings leadership in spades...look at that debacle at St Mary's when he wasnt available ! Too many of our younger players NEED that kind of leadership out there and when it isnt there it seems ..neither are they. For me CB is such a crucial role in the spine of the team that u just cant afford to make an expensive mistake the way perhaps u could with a wide front man. I dont feel Williams credentials are adequate the" best buy by far that has been made during BR's tenure isnt a player hes managed previously imo ..and that is Coutinho a true flair player 8 mill as opposed to Borini 10 and a half mill and Allen 15 mill and Sturridge 12 mill. Please consider just why Laudrup would be willing to let the heart of the spine of his team go ?
Nobody seems to have addressed the point I made of just "Why does Laudrup seem so ready to let Rogers poach the heart of the spine of his team Ashley Williams ? For me its clear..he intends to con us into paying over the odds for this player as he knows there is nobody else as interested as Rogers and hes sussed that Rogers desire to sign yet another of his ex players is very strong in other words the supply meets the demand and once again we pay Swansea well over the odds for a player whos CV doesnt warrant it. Then...Laudrup uses the dosh hes just made to goout and buy someone he knows to be a far better player than the one he just sold. Stay away from Swansea and take a good look around for someone with the experience physique and authority to get the job done for us.

Colin I'm not sure I see where you're going with the "why would Landrup sell" statement, because surely the same could be said of every single player in professional football. If the buying club started doubting their own scouting reports, judgment and rating of players just because when they express an interest they find the selling club actually might be open to a transfer, then where would we be?
Secondly, how much control do you really think managers have over which players leave in the next transfer window? Yes technically any player under contract can be held to that contract, (look at the lad from West Brom enjoying the sightseeing in West London in January!) but you know as well as I do, 9 times out of ten if a player wants out, the selling club is going to do its best to get the most cash they can, but they'll let the lad leave, whether they rate him or not.
I have no idea what wages Williams is on, or how long he's got in his current deal, but the power of the player goes up exponentially as the contract winds down, and even more so for clubs who cannot afford to match wages offered by bigger clubs.
I'm still on the fence of whether Williams is the right player for us. I can see a number of attributes that put him in the frame, but I would agree there are question marks on whether he's the best we can get. However what I am sure about is the fact that he comes from Swansea does not disqualify him for me, and just because his manager (actually his club) might be willing to sell him also does not ring alarm bells for me, because any player we do actually bring in will also come from a club where obviously they've decided they don't mind selling us a player.
Hi Colin
I'm in the "very unsure" camp about Williams myself but don't see the logic you are using. I mean that couldn't you level the "why would they let him go if he was so good" at any player we buy if not out of contract?
Hello all. I've stayed in the background on this thread as I don't know much about Williams. However, I would like to make 2 points.
1. Rodgers said in an interview the other day that there are no names out there. It's paper talk in all probability so remember that Williams hasn't signed yet.
2. I'm surprised at the amount of people who seem to be completely against signing players from "lower teams" or leagues even. You don't have to look far to see literally thousands of examples of where clubs (including Liverpool) have done exactly that and it's worked wonders for both the club and the player. There are such thin lines between the quality of players at times and sometimes it just takes the right coaching, club, other players around them or even tactics to make the difference one way or the other.

Your absolutely right on your first point, it's all speculation at this point. What we have to remember is as the real season starts to wind down the silly one will ramp up, and as it's obvious we'll be in for at least one centre back we will be link with everyone and his mother. I'm not much for predictions, but I'd not be surprised if between now and August if we're not linked with Vincent Komany, John Terry, and Per Mertesacker, just because some bright spark hack will put two and two together knowing a player is reportedly not happy and we want a CB!
On the second point I agree 100%, although getting this right is the secret sauce for a successful scout. Of course if a player is not home grown he's going to have come from somewhere else, and players at big clubs most likely started at smaller club. The problem is some players seem to go up a level when you surround them with better players, while others just shrink and look invisible. Knowing which is which is the hardest part of picking out the next big thing. It's easy for some to tell you on a message board they know the differences, but professionals who have to make that decision with their livelihood on the line if they get it wrong are not perfect, so doubt any of us know for sure either.
Colyn...read yesterday quite an extensive article on a RCB who plays for a Brazilian club side hes been voted player of the yr by his clubs fans and is evidently thought of very highly in Brazil and a shoe in for RCB for the national side sorry cant remember the guys name it was in the football news on this thing here yesterday...think it might have been Gremio he plays for I think his name is DEDE but not sure check it out his club are in need of money and will sell but the price was 15 mill Euros...Arsenal have been watching him and evidently so have we ...he certainly sounds like a far better prospect than another Swansea deadleg but watch lay odds Rogers goes back to the Swansea well of ex players hes managed and gives close to double 15 mill euros for Williams and Arsenal take this guy DEDE who sounds like a very exciting and VERY competent player.
Loki Dave...if Suarez could NOT speak english would u rather Kenny hadnt bought him ? I think Loki u are displaying an illogical prejuidice against even considering this lad DEDE as a new centre back its as much a prejuidice against as u seem to think Im biased for...all Im saying is he SOUNDS like hot stuff. I havent seen him play but to be absolutely honest Ive only seen Chris Samba play once this season too but Ive read enough good reports on him to prefer him over Williams who I have seen play a few times this season and I dont rate him. Think about it Rogers will pay more than anybody else to buy him as hes worked with him before and therefore he thinks it makes his own job easier when he has a former player who he thinks understands what his requirements are but Borini and Allen were both former players and imo both are dead legs neither worth a fraction of what was paid forthem.

Colin, I have never once asked for a native English speaker, just somebody who can communicate effectively enough to command and organise the troops. I have no prejudice against Dede, I have no opinion of him because I haven't seen him for myself. If we bought him I would give him 100% support - for 2 seasons at least!
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Apr 8, 2013 21:15 Flag
Colin, I think it's apples and oranges to compare Suarez and any potential candidate to replace Carra. It's helpful that our striker speaks English at least to a level that he can communicate with his teammates; however whoever comes in to anchor our backline and be a leader needs to be able to communicate fluently from day one. Besides, while Suarez did not speak much English as I understand it when he came in, and even now prefers not to speak English to the press, he became near fluent in Dutch when in Holland, so it's a fair assumption he could pick up enough English to get by.
As for Williams vs. Samba, I'm open to this. Samba I don't think would be a bad option, although think age is against him. Being 29 I don't think should rule him out as I'd say he has at least 3 maybe more years in him, but with the FSG policy not sure they'd go for him, especially as he'd not come cheap as he just joined QPR in January.
However I think you may have changed your rational on Williams. If it's that you rate him less than Samba or any other candidate I understand, but in the past you seem to not want him because he comes from Swansea and or played for BR in the past, which I find illogical. As for BR being more likely to pay more for him than any other manager, I just don't understand how you come to this conclusion. Other managers may value him less, but then again some may value him higher, but I think the most logical conclusion is that BR is the one most likely to know his true market value as he has more direct knowledge and experience with the player to know what he's really worth.
Loki...The Brazilian way was "samba soccer" a la the great side of 1970 the finest team Ive ever seen inc thecurrent Barca side. The ball constantly moving forward every player more than capable of "showing the ball" and taking it past a man or two to render blanket defense strategy helpless. Recent Brazilian national sides are a pale shadow of this all time great side even the winning side of World Cup 94 couldnt compare. BUT...generally Brazilians emphasis is on ball skills and yes the build up is slower but they can be explosive in the final third unlike us who are almost totally reliant on Louis to make something happen for us ?
THis thread seems to have been revived but it was in the press this morning that our interest in Williams has cooled...FOR ME THATS GOOD NEWS THE GUY IS A CLOD. No more ex Swansea previously BR managed DUDS thanks.

Why the Markets Are Freaking Out
Stocks are taking it on the chin to kick off the week, bond prices are tumbling again as interest rates rise and the slide in gold and silver prices is continuing today.
Is this all just another chapter in the Fed freakout? Is the economy weakening? How much does China's credit crunch matter?
Investors and analysts say the recent tumult can be traced back to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's timetable for taking the punch bowl away. Bernanke said the Fed could start pulling back on its stimulus programs later this year, and end them by mid-2014. From David Zervos at Jefferies:
"We have been happily living on QE transfusions for the better part of 4 years. These pain killers have made the healing from our crisis not just tolerable, but actually quite enjoyable (at least for those that sipped the cocktail). That said, the drink has many side effects, and last week the FOMC decided to change up our tasty beverage by mixing in a few shots of volatility. First of all that stuff tastes sour!! And second, it can make you very sick – especially if you have been over doing it with the transfusions for the past few years."
The Dow fell by as many as 248 points, although recently it trimmed some of those losses Boeing Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard led the blue chips lower. The S&P 500 fell 1.5% to 1568 and is now down 6.1% from its May 21 record closing high.
Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at R.W. Baird & Co., said the biggest hurdle for stocks right now is the "mounting downside momentum." From Bittles:
Recent breath figures argue that the correction is gaining downside momentum. This implies a full test of support of 1550 using the S&P 500 in the weeks just ahead. Given that the bottom of the market is always the point of maximum pessimism, we are looking for fear levels to become widespread.
Bond prices slumped, as the benchmark 10-year note's yield jumped to as high as 2.661%, the highest level since August 2011, according to Tradeweb. Bond prices move inversely to their yields.
Gold futures fell 0.7% to $1283.30. Silver prices fell 1.7% to $19.62 Goldman Sachs offered more gloom for gold investors this morning by again cutting their 2013 2014 price forecasts, Barron's reports.
For now, investors are watching how the bond market performs for clues to how other asset classes will react.
"Before stocks find a secure rallying base, the bond market needs to stabilize and investor sentiment should turn 180 degrees from the excitement found in early May," Bittles says. "Support is near 1550 [for the S&P 500], which would represent a 7% correction from the recent highs. A close below 1500 would indicate that in addition to the loss of momentum the trend has turned down."

The Ridgewater College concert choirs from Willmar and Hutchinson will come together to present a Scandinavian Choral Tapestry. The choirs will perform Thursday, November 29 in the Hutchinson campus auditorium, and again on Tuesday, December 4 in the Willmar campus theatre. Both performances begin at 7:00 p.m. and are free and open to the public. The concert combines the concert choirs from both the Hutchinson and Willmar campuses. Individual choirs and soloists are also featured in the performance. The concert is in three parts: Part I highlights the seasonal transition from autumn to winter, the middle portion of the concert focuses on traditional music and carols from various Scandinavian countries as well as music by Scandinavian composers. A musicological journey through the Twelve Days of Christmas comprises Part III. The traditional tune is manipulated to parody different styles of Western music, everything from Gregorian chant to a Viennese waltz to a Sousa march.

Snowpack percentages plummeted during March.
Warm, dry weather counteracted Colorado's wet February, dropping snowpack in the Colorado River Basin from 75 percent of average at the end of February to 49 percent at the end of March.
"The boost in snowpack totals across the state was short-lived," officials with the National Resource Conservation Service said in a press release. Statewide levels are now down to a "paltry" 52 percent of average, a decrease of 29 percent from the 81 percent of average measured March 1. The snowpack drop was the result of well-below average snowfall and precipitation and warmer-than-average temperatures, officials said.
The Colorado Basin isn't the only place below 50 percent of average. The Yampa and White River Basins are also suffering, sitting at 47 percent of average.
An average winter brings about 20 percent of its seasonal snowfall in March, but the service's automatic sites statewide showed accumulation was at 29 percent of that average. Snow had begun to melt rather than continuing to accumulate.
Officials said this is the driest winter since 2002, when the snowpack on April 1 was also reported to be just 52 percent of average.
A drought ensued in the summer of 2002, which was the same year of a number of highly destructive wildfires, many overshadowed by the immense Hayman Fire. Water availability is in a better position this year, though, as there's more water in Colorado's reservoir system. Statewide, storage values were at 108 percent of average at the end of March, up from 107 percent of average at the end of February.
Storage in the Colorado River Basin's reservoirs is at 120 percent of average, compared to 116 percent of average at the end of February.
Levels currently exceed last year's storage values, with the Colorado Basin's storage at 106 percent of last year, and statewide at 104 percent of last year.
Elsewhere in the state, things are faring better, but not by much.
The South Platte River basin's snowpack, while still above the statewide average, saw the largest decrease from conditions reported at the beginning of March. The basin's snowpack dropped a substantial 34 percentage points from 89 percent of average on March 1 to 55 percent of average on April 1. Snowpack totals in the rest of the major basins ranged from 53 to 57 percent of average.
Typically, peak snowpack lands on about April 12.
"There is very little hope for significant improvements to snowpack conditions prior to the spring-summer runoff season," officials said.

Mid 19th century: from French, 'detailed list' (noun use of menu 'small, detailed'), from Latin minutus 'very small'.
When people first used menu in English they treated it as a foreign word, printing it in italic type, and perhaps pronouncing it in a 'French' way. The word means 'detailed list' in French, and is a use of menu 'small, detailed' from Latin minutus 'small', the source of minute, mince, minutiae (mid 18th century) 'small, precise or trivial details', the delicate dance the minuet (late 17th century), and diminish. Applied to a list of dishes available in a restaurant, it dates from the mid 19th century; by the 20th it was fully anglicized, and by the 1960s could also mean 'a list of facilities or commands displayed on a computer screen'.

Reach AT&T Wireless Executive Customer Service
MaryMichelle Timbang
I think I'll definitely be needing this in the future since I just upgraded from AT&T to AT&T. (Yes I'm a very old subscriber)
Well, that's just genius. Now you've completely prevented Ms. Timbang from being able to do her job by posting her contact info.
Count my vote in favor of more article illustrations in the form of screen grabs from 20-year-old Apple II apps.
bookmarked, hopefully to never be used.
Sent a message today – having trouble moving a phone from an enterprise business plan back to a personal one. I'll update with success/failure of the contact.
Now on my 4th Blackberry Curve in 7 months (all due to sticking trackball). Just sent a message. Let's see if Ms. Timbang can make some magic happen. I'll update on her progress.
Hmmm…i's been one week and still no response from Ms. Timbang. Gee, thanks AT&T Wireless!
I sent an email to the President of AT&T (search AT&T Wireless on here) and received a call within 24 hours. While the office from which they called is addressed as "The President's Office," I believe it is really more of a customer service of last resort. Hokey, but makes people feel important. Either way, not only was the service courteous and fast, but they offered me ANY phone I wanted and also offered to extend my 12 month warranty an additional three months. I would push for more, but I thought the offer was acceptable for now. My faith is restored!
Just sent an e-mail to Ms. Timbang. I also CC'ed Consumerist. Will update.
This is not completely on-topic, however I'm new and hope to be forgiven. Our DSL number, but not our phone number, has been given to another customer. This was due to our changing our phone number due to harrassing calls – they didn't change the DSL. Their mistake, now they'll disconnect our DSL as someone else has been given the number.
I have been talking to rude reps who offer no answers. I would like the phone numbers, preferably the home phone numbers of AT&T higher management. I particularly was Randall Stephenson's home phone number. CAn anybody help?
Just learned I have 12k AT&T rollover minutes. Clearly on wrong plan. Earned/paid for these minutes. AT&T says if I drop to the next lowest minute plan (1,350) I lose all but the current plan's (1,350) # of minutes. Nice policy. Where's account management when you need them?
I emailed the chick yesterday because I am starting a new job within my company and require the use of internet, email, etc. I hate crackberries, treos, or whatever else. I only want a Iphone to do all I need too. I will update later..
Here is a letter I emailed to the office of the president of AT&T Pleas read and enjoy in it's entirety:
My name is C*** C******ll. I am an AT&T wireless customer residing in Indiana. I am truly sorry to have to bother you with this issue as I have tried multiple levels of customer service and have been either "disconnected", promised call backs from managers as well as people from resolutions desks all to no avail. My problems have been accumulating over the last few months with the level of customer care. I have a detailed list of people, times, and departments that I have spoken with. I will begin. On Wednesday February 11, 2009 I purchased a Pink Blackberry Pearl for my girlfriend for Valentines Day. I also purchased a Blackberry Curve 8310 approximately 1 month ago. I have been overall fairly pleased with the performance of the 8310. My problem began this evening Thursday February 12th 2009 at 7:30 EST. I was trying to utilize the Bluetooth capabilities of both the 8110 and 8310 to send music files. I called the technical support line of AT&T's customer care. The gentleman that I spoke with had informed me that he had little knowlege in regards to the Bluetooth technologies and that the Blackberry 8310 had frequent problems sending music files via Bluetooth and that I would have to upgrade to the Blackberry Bold. He also informed me that I would likely have to be "escelated" to the RIM Blackberry Technical Support team. I spoke with AT&T's technical support person from 7:30 EST until 8:45 EST and was told I had to take the battery out to check a few things. I informed the man that there was no damage whatsoever to the phone and that my girlfriend had just purchased me a hard cover case that would have to be broken in order to take it apart. I was told there was no way to avoid it and what did it matter anyway I would have to break it when I got a new phone. I was devestated at the lack of empathy over what is sentimental to me and worthless to AT&T. I then broke my case opened the phone up and revealed to him that there was no damage per the questions he had asked regarding the conditions of the terminals and water damage seal. I was asked for the IMEI number and was told that regardless of damage I had to open the phone up to reveal that number which also was untrue as it can be accessed by pressing *#060. I was then transferred to the RIM Blackberry Technical Support automated system which then asked me for a credit card number in order to be billed for technical support. I hung up and directly called AT&T's technical support team again and spent another 30 mins explaining everything that had been explained to the previous gentleman. I was then transferred again to the RIM Blackberry Technical Support team with the assistance of AT&T and was given the ability to speak with the RIM team. I spent approximately 45 minutes on the phone troubleshooting the issue including connecting my 8310 to the Blackberry Desktop Manager and completely wiping out all valuable pictures and contacts within my phone. I was very dissapointed in losing these files and was not offered a way of backing them up. I was informed that it was an AT&T warranty issue and that it was a common issue with an 8310 and that I would have to take it up with AT&T. So I called back to AT&T and spent well over an hour speaking with Everett Ortiz who argued and badgered me for the duration of the time until I asked to speak with someone who could in fact help me. I was then place on hold for 17 minutes after asking that a manager please call me back as it was approaching 10:00 pm and I had not eaten dinner and had been on the phone with technical support for nearly 3 hours. I was told that they did not have the ability to call me back that my choice was to wait on hold for 5-10 minutes or to hang up and call back again. I spoke with Tim Arthur until 10:15 EST and was repeatedly informed that he could only send me an 8310 (the same phone I have) which has the same problems. I asked him to please contact whomever he needed to resolve my issue and please call me back. I was then informed that he was getting off work in 30 minutes and would do his best but could not promise anything. I waited until 10:30 and again called 800-801-1101 and then spoke with a Tiramy? Watson and was asked all of my information. She continued to argue with me that I had to call back on a phone that was not the problematic phone. I informed her that if she would just take my information and password she would soon understand that it did not matter which phone I had called on as I had spoke with Technical Support teams from two different companies. She repeated herself (cutting me off) 7 times that she would not help me unless I called on another phone. I then demanded to speak with a manager as I am quickly learning the AT&T way. I was given to Jay Teksera? and he explained to me that he had worked on the B-12 bomber in 1990 and that it had technical issues with birds flying into the engines and had to be retro-fitted and that his company did not recieve the contract and he was laid off. He then informed me that he worked at Intel for a number of years where he was also laid off because technology isn't always what it is cracked up to be and that I should be happy with the phones capabilities despite it's advertised abilities and shortcomings. I asked what he was going to do to get me the upgraded phone without the problems of the 8310 and I was then informed that he was just an "agent". I asked him why I was given to him when I had asked for a manager and he informed me that he was new to the job and needed the experience of dealing with compliants. So I was then placed on hold for another 19 minutes only for him to return and give me 866-801-3600 as an after hours customer care number. So at 11:15 P.M EST I placed the call and spoke with Brad Wilcox in Canada and he was quite kind as well as appalled that I had been dealing with AT&T customer care and Tech Support since 7:30 EST. I was then placed on hold for about 15 minutes while he spoke with the chain of command that informed me there was nothing the could do and were about to re-route me to warranty again when I emphatically insisted on speaking to someone who could offer me an absolute resolution. I was then disconnected only to have to call back again and give my dialectical dissertation of the evenings events to Kristina Pena who again put me on hold for over 15 minutes. When she returned she informed me that if I was willing to hold for another few moments (10 more minutes) someone would be able to help me. I was then given to Mandy McManus at 12:13 am EST and was basically told that I could purchase an upgrade at the 2 year contract price. I had just signed a new 2 year contract February 11, 2009. I was told that my line doesn't generate enough revenue to constitute an early upgrade and I could be given the same defected 8310 under warranty or purchase a new phone at a 2 yr price. My question is where in the span of nearly 5 hours of technical support and customer care was this issue not resolved? I am now bound to another 2 year contract because I bought my girlfriend a new Blackberry phone but I am uneligible for an early upgrade/credit to cover the cost of the phone since warranty will send me the same phone with the same problems and we got both phone lines at the exact same time, day, and year February of 2008 on a family share plan? Is there anyone who cares enough within AT&T to resolve my issue? I have spent over 5 hours of my time looping and re-looping through the phone system telling this over 10 times to 10 different people only to see no results! I am aware of many options available to the people in charge of escalations only to be offered nothing! I only want what is going to work. We pay a lot of money for our account as well as the time I have dedicated playing the AT&T game of constant long hold times in the hopes I will just give up. I assure you I will not. I would greatly appreciate a call from someone who has the ability to resolve this issue without my need of being in the system for 5 hours and needing the authority of someone else. Please Someone With The Ability To Do What Is Neccessary Help ME!
I have been an AT&T customer for a long time and I recently cracked the LCD screen on my AT&T tilt phone. I contacted AT&T customer service and was prepared to purchase a new phone because the broken screen was my fault and I need the phone for work email. I was told that I could not purchase a new phone at a discounted rate because my contract is not eligible for upgrade until June of 2009. I explained that the phone was completely unusable because all the touch screen functions were broken and the best she would offer me was a $50 discount off regular retail prices (which are very high) on any phone except the iPhone, which she said I could not upgrade to at all unless until my upgrade date in June even if I was willing to pay full retail for it. I was not asking for a free phone or a replacement. I was simply asking to be allowed to purchase the phone I want at the 2yr contract discount and sign a new 2 year contract because my other phone is broken and unusable. I need a phone like this for work email and internet access and the only solutions I am offered are to buy a new $500 phone or wait until June. Both are not acceptable solutions to a loyal customer in this situation. I emailed the address at the top of this post to see if there is anything they can do for me.
anyone had any luck with this contact? i sent them an e-mail over 2 weeks ago and no response. still a valid e-mail address?
You should be eligible for an early equipment upgrade, ccoffey. That means you would get the 2-year agreement price plus a $75 early upgrade fee. So if you wanted the refurb Iphone 3g 8Gb, you would just pay 174.99.
To be frank, the equipment really does cost that much. When you extend your contract to get the discount, it's basically financing an expensive piece of equipment. If you hate the ball and chain of a contract, just pay full retail pricing.
When your TV has problems, the cable company doesn't buy you a new one even if you have been with them for years.
Giraldo, bad comparison. The cable company doesn't force me to use special TV's to use their service. They do, however, require special cable boxes.. which they rent to us and they require us to return them upon termination of the service.
Cell phone companies do not allow us to use our own handsets, they limit us to the ones they make available, they put special permissions on them to make sure you're locked into buying applications only from them for those phones, and they make us buy the phones instead of leasing or renting them because let's face it, old phones have more wear and tear from carrying them around all over the place instead of sitting on our shelf collecting dust.
If you're going to compare, let's make it a fair comparison.
@sandheep – Did you ever have any success? I also sent an email to Ms. Timbang, no response (although it's only been ~48 hours). Wondering if anyone knows of another (effective/valid) contact email or address?
Update: If you have a valid issue, it gets action. although I never heard from Ms. Timbang, I got a call from an Executive Manager three days after I sent an email to Ms. Timbang. Problem solved a day later!
I bought a Blackberry Bold(tm) through AT&T as part of the contract extension every two years. It stopped working a few days later. I brought it back to the store and they saw that the sticker that changes color when wet is red. It is therefore not covered by the warranty. When I told them I had not dropped it or spilled anything on it, they responded that it had been very humid here so they were not surprised. I cannot believe that humidity is not covered. That is ridiculous. Now I just threw away $350 and according to them have no recourse. I have been using my friend's old phone that is not great but at least it works. I am not buying another phone through AT&T. In fact, I'm considering switching to Verizon over this incident (I have been an AT&T/Cingular customer for 6 years).
Does anyone know the company's president or higher executive email?
AT&T disconnected my DSL by mistake and when asked for explanation argued with me. This was on October 22nd. After lot of back and forth, they opened a new account for me. Today is the 27th and they still they do not have me connected. My phone is not working so is my home security system. The reps gave me different information each time with one of the reps saying that there might be a charge to me for getting this fixed and finally when i called to disconnect yesterday, the retention dept said they will take care of the problem and have a technician onsite today by 4 at the latest. No one has come and i am still without internet.
I am also emailing the executive customer care. I dont know how pathetic this company is being run.
II'm not a happy customer. If you care , look into your " customer service" tapes" . It only took seven ATT individuals and 180 minutes og phone time to not get to the bottom line. AT&T is not to make a big deal out of it "pitiful". Give me a call call if you give a Pelosi.
I am very upset with the ATT cincular company. All this started in 2003. I had a land line through att, then received a notice in the mail that I qualified for a cell phone at the price of 29.99. I called the company and talked with a repersenitive. I told her all I wanted was a phone to call out and a phone to call in on. I told her I did not want any of those extra things at all, call waiting,text messaging,Internet, nothing like that. She said that would be ok. I told her I was on SSI and only receive 535.00 a month and if it cost any more I could not sign up. She said that it wouldn't. I told her I would have to go talk to my mom, and if my mom said ok I would call her back. My mom told my if that's all it was going to cost then it would be ok. I returned the call and said that I would sign up. I was suppose to get 650 min. plus rollover a free phone with no extras.Plus a 3 year contract. Everything went ok for about a year then I was informed that I qualified for a second line. I called the company and told them I would take a second phone on the family plan witch was suppose to be 9.99 a month, and it worked of my rollover minutes, plus I told them I didn't want any of those extra things on this phone either. And now this will only cost me about 40.00-45.00 a month.They told me yes! I told them that I could afford that then. I received the second phone and things went ok for a few of month. My husband didn't use his phone very much so we let our son use it. I told him it worked off my rollover minutes and there was no extra things on it. Text messaging, Internet, call waiting, call forwarding, nothing like that. He said, ok. Then I started getting bills saying I owed for a phone at 39.99 and a phone at 29.99 witch had it's own minutes plus rollover minutes. I called them and told them this was wrong. They said they would take care of it. Then I had not received a bill in about two months then I got one and they said I owed them $1184.00. I just about had a heart attack. I called my son, and we called the phone company. They told use that the bill was so high because both phones had used up the free minutes plus the overtime minutes so was charged for each call in and out. on both phones. I asked how could this be considering the second phone wasn't suppose to have its own minutes just work off mine. Then on an other bill
it was charging me $59.99 for 950min.plus rollover minutes and $39.99. Witch I could not see how they could do this. I did not ask for more time or anything like that. Plus on my bill there was text messages, Internet, call forwarding, call waiting and stuff like that. How can this be when I spacificaly told them not to have any of that stuff on either phone. So I told them I wanted to have the phones turned off until we could handle this mess. She told me that was going to be a termination fee of $150.00 each phone. I told her I did not want them terminated I just wanted them turned off until this was settled. I wrote a letter to the company disbuting all most all these charges. I have not heard anything from them until last month I was going to put another land line in at a different address. I was told no because of an outstanding bill. Mean while I've had my land line for 5 years and nothing was ever said about this $1100 a something bill. So I received a bill in the mail the other day and it said I owe $856.56 and the date on it is Sept.1,2005. I,ve tried to contact the phone company and they say they have no record of this bill. That the phone numbers that I gave them belone to some company now.
I don't know who I talked to but I got a copy of my Feb.2005- Jun.2005 bill, that's how I found out that text messages, Internet, call waiting, call forwarding and all that was on the phone. There's also a call on there from 559-355-9675 to 559-355-9675. How can this be. The phone numbers were 559-355-9675 main number the second number was 559-355-4107. My name is Denise Pierson, my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com I would appriciate it very much if you could look into this mess and get in touch with me. ASAP or sooner.
Thank you and I'll be looking to work with you on this bill.

July 6, 2006
It's a day to remember, as a moving memorial pauses in Aiken.
The Vietnam Memorial lists every person who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War.
For those who can't make the trip to Washington, this version is here for you.
Rain or not, people filed by all day long, each one paying their respects to those who gave their lives fighting thousands of miles away.
With 60,000 names on the Wall That Heals, 900 of them South Carolinians, we heard lots of stories of survival and, of course, a lot of reflecting.
It's a tangible tribute and emotion-evoking exhibition.
"It helps, but it doesn't get any better," says Sgt. Jack Sharpe of the South Carolina State Guard. "Even though it's been forty years. But it helps."
One wall, 60,000 names honoring those who gave their all, including their lives, in Vietnam.
"And they say that it's a wall that heals," says Edward Sims of Aiken.
For Vietnam vet Steve Hicks, it's a day to reflect on his best friend.
"He was a black guy. Me being white, back in those days, those types of friends were rare, but we were like brothers," Hicks says.
It's a traveling replica half the size of the memorial in Washington, D.C., but for many living who served in Vietnam, it's a precious sign of patriotism their fallen friends never saw.
"All they knew was the protestors and being called baby killers and spit on," says Vietnam veteran Stuart Prettel. "I wish they were here to see the love and welcoming they would receive."
Inclement weather did not deter nearly 1000 people from seeing the tribute during a special ceremony honoring the veterans.
"Since 230 years ago men have died and fought for this country, and we can never ever forget these men."
The exhibit remains in Aiken until Sunday, when it travels to Sparta, Tennessee. This is the only stop in South Carolina.
It's open 24 hours a day, and if you want to come late, there's extra lighting and security.
The memorial is at Citizens Park. That's at East Pine Log and Banks Mill Road, between Powderhouse and Highway 78.
The Wall That Heals has visited more than 250 communities since it was first unveiled almost ten years ago on Veterans Day, 1996. Millions have seen it.
In 1999, it even traveled to Ireland to honor the Irish-born casualties of the war.

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
1. Java dev day? : 13:04
2. New blog! : 17:23
3. Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective
4. Just got back from lunch
5. Teaching reflections, tips -- education
It would probably be a good idea to have threaded discussions on each topic, but I don't know of any content management systems that make it easy to keep track of all the discussions going on at a time.
A local news server would seem ideal to me. Did you consider that?
By the way, I too teach Java (ouch), and I read your whole page with interest. In one of the bullets you mention students having problems with setting Java at home. I found mine share the problem so I'm preparing a custom Knoppix live CD for them with everything set up for Java programming (and yes, the editor of choice is Emacs ;-) with ECB and some ad-hoc bits of ELisp). I'll be glad to share the results if you want, although it is tailored for Italian the customization itself is based on Debian metapackages and other i18n-* packages shouldn't be too hard to add if you have some experience with Debian.
Good luck with your teaching.
Oooh, yeah, a custom Knoppix would be great - and a sneaky way to get them into Emacs! =) Wooohoo!
No prob with Debian. I love Debian.
Massimiliano has quite a Google footprint. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do... =)
