Proponent Rejoices: U Cal Recognizes Link Between Anti-Semitism and Anti-ZionismFriday, March 25th, 2016
The full Board of Regents of the University of California (UC) today approved a policy that condemns anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic forms of anti-Zionism and says there is no place for those and other forms of discrimination at UC. The policy was approved unanimously by the Regents education committee yesterday.
The approval of this policy was welcomed by the force behind the creation and adoption of this policy, Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, co-founder of the AMCHA Initiative.
Rossman-Benjamin explained why the new policy was so important. She said that Jewish students on campuses are frequently the victims of the pernicious anti-Zionist movement spreading across campuses. This is so regardless of a Jewish student's views or even knowledge about Israeli policies. It is a victimization based solely on the student's religion, not their political views, and that is why it rightly falls under the category of anti-Semitism.
After a lengthy battle to get the Board of Regents to recognize this fact, Rossman-Benjamin is elated.
"For the first time a university has acknowledged the blatant anti-Semitism within anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism has now been linked to anti-Semitism and condemned by the most prestigious and largest public university in the United States. This is an unprecedented and remarkable step forward, which will benefit Jewish students across the country.
"We applaud all of the Regents for addressing the record-high and growing anti-Jewish hate. We would like to particularly acknowledge Regent Norm Pattiz, who personally championed this landmark policy on behalf of Jewish students," Rossman-Benjamin said.
For over a year AMCHA has been bringing this issue to the attention of Regents through letters and meetings and by regularly testifying before the Regents. This started after AMCHA members began hearing from concerned parents and students about the rapid rise of anti-Semitism at UC.
AMCHA led a coalition of more than 40 Jewish and education advocacy groups that regularly communicated with the Regents on this matter.
The AMCHA Initiative is a non-profit organization focused on combating, monitoring and documenting anti-Semitism at institutions of higher education in America. In 2012 Rossman-Benjamin co-founded the organization with her colleague, Dr. Leila Beckwith.
Rossman-Benjamin pointed out that the latest public figures to recognize that anti-Semitism is a factor in the BDS (Boycott of, Divestment from and Sanctions against Israel) Movement are U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. These two join the Republican candidates for president, as well as Pope Francis, President Obama, British Prime Minister Cameron, French Prime Minister Valls and Pope Francis, all of whom have stated that denying Israel's right to exist is anti-Semitism.
The AMCHA Initiative conducted a study of anti-Semitism at more than 100 U.S. colleges and universities in 2015. Five University of California schools ranked in the top 10% of schools with the most anti-Semitic activity, and four of those campuses were in the top five worst schools.
The AMCHA study also found the presence of anti-Zionist activities, anti-Zionist student groups and faculty who endorse an academic boycott of Israel were strong predictors of anti-Semitism.Lori Lowenthal Marcus

It requires great courage to write another book about a plague. A search of the Internet bookstore Amazon.com produced 368 titles with the word "plague." Interestingly, two share the title Eleventh Plague with the new thriller by John Marr, MD, and John Baldwin: one by Jo-Ann Klainer (Simon & Schuster, 1973) and Leonard A. Cole's more recent work (WH Freeman & Co, 1996) about the history and politics of biological and chemical warfare (reviewed in JAMA January 14, 1998). Cole discusses the nerve gas attack by Japanese terrorists in Tokyo, the Iraqi scud missiles in Israel, and the possibility of similar future atrocities by renegade nations and disgruntled lunatics. It is comforting to know that Marr and Baldwin's "novel of medical terror" is mere fiction!

Skip to comments.Karl Roves prediction: Romney 51, Obama 48
Posted on 11/01/2012 8:26:06 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
click here to read article
do you have inside information?....I hope you're right..
I don't like Rove, but I definitely respect his prognosticating abilities.
His call is similar to mine. No Romney blowout, but a very close win.
I was worried about a nice post-Sandy surge for Obammy, but so far it looks like it hasn't materialized. As long as it doesn't show up tomorrow, I say Romney takes it Tuesday.
51-48 sounds about right to me.
I'm heading off to Romney HQ to make more calls. Nervous as hell, I must admit. I swear, my liver is going to sue me after this is over. But we must do everything we can, and right now.
..strange but I'll go with Dick Morris's prediction over Rove's—who ceased being magnificent a long time ago...
RE: Roveswho ceased being magnificent a long time ago...
He was called the "Magnificent Bastard".
Now that he ceased being magnificent, what about the other word that described him? :)
..yeah, remember that came out of Laz's thread from the '04 election—where have the years gone...
Voter fraud worries me too.....van loads of Somalis who speak no English, voting in Ohio for starters.
I understand, and concur. We will all be sweating until we find out on Tuesday evening. The fate of the nation hangs in the balance.
BYW, I now have an "Uninstall Obama App," video on youtube. Pass it around:
I'm hoping it's enough of a landslide that Obama/Jarret and crew can't keep it tied up in the courts for a year, or start CWII riots aimed at keeping him in power indefinitely in a "possession is nine points of the law" ploy. - In any event, even if Romney is elected, you can look for the MSM to immediately start the loud, steady drumbeat of "get the Republican" bias that "Bush" is still living with. . and that President Reagan lived with for over two decades until people realized the truth (after it no longer mattered to Reagan).
Dick Morris has Romney winning by about 2-3% more than Rove. I don't recall his exact numbers.
As for me, based on poll-reading, history, and current polls, I am expecting that Romney will win by 53-44. EC will be easily his. I am hoping that is sufficient in the states that count to make the Senate solid R, but worry about that piece of the puzzle.

Hello everyone!
I am a 21 year-old student interested in organizing a 5k to support the battle against eating disorders. Although I have run plenty of races before, I have never organized one myself, so naturally I have many inquiries on top of seeking help and support. I don't even know what questions to start with, so I guess I'll just open the table for free advice, suggestions, and contact info (if you are in my area). Thanks and have a great day!
First of all, congratulations on your decison, I wish you the best of luck.
I have never organised an event myself, but have helped in a few. The first place I would ask is the nearest club/ association that does organise events. From there probably move on to looking for public support and permission.
In any case, go for it, and look forward to hearing from your 5k.
Current PB:
5k: 19:53 (December 31st 2014)
10k : 42:30 (March 9th 2014)
Half Marathon: 1:32:40 (February 1st 2015)
Marathon: 3:33:31 (March 15th 2015)
Completed my first marathon! Feeling like getting some more!
Awesome! Last week I went to Fit Right NW to get some info. They're in charge of a few races each year and actually gave me the contact info of their main race director. I'll be talkng to him next week to ask some more detailed questions. From what I've been researching it seems like finding a place to hold the event will be the biggest challenge. Thanks for the advice! Hoping for good things!

The Rockets' self-imposed deadline to trade center Omer Asik of December 19th is Thursday, but multiple reports Tuesday night indicate that Houston has found enough suitors to potentially move up the talks.
Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reports that a three-way deal with Boston and Philadelphia is a possibility, and that Asik isn't the only Rocket available.
As the Rockets extract offers for disgruntled center Omer Asik before a self-imposed Thursday deadline, one scenario that has emerged has Asik going to Boston in a three-team deal with Philadelphia as the facilitating team, league sources told CBSSports.com.
One league source described the scenario as a long shot, calling it a "weird deal." Indeed, there would have to be strong incentive for the Sixers to steer Asik to a division rival. But both teams are strongly in the mix as possible destinations for the Turkish center, who has requested a trade after his role changed with the arrival of Dwight Howard in Houston.
Multiple league executives said the Rockets also are open to packaging Jeremy Lin with Asik, but that scenario appears unlikely as well. As one executive said of Lin, "I'm not sure there are many, if any, takers for him right now."
via Asik scenarios emerge with self-imposed deadline looming - CBSSports.com.
The full list via multiple reports includes the Atlanta Hawks , Boston Celtics , Philadelphia 76ers , and that a 'mystery team' is late in the game as a potential suitor for the big man.
Numerous teams consulted by ESPN.com in recent days have said they are convinced the Rockets will indeed go ahead with a trade headlined by Asik before their self-imposed deadline of Dec. 19, with sources saying Tuesday that the Boston Celtics are increasingly active in the Asik talks.
As a result, the Celtics now are widely regarded as the strongest rivals to the Philadelphia 76ers in terms of likely destinations for Asik, with many rival executives expecting the final form of a trade built around the 7-footer from Turkey to feature at least three teams.
Sources have described the Atlanta Hawks as Houston's preferred trade partner since the Rockets came to the conclusion last month that, despite their attempts to placate Asik, they eventually would have to give in to the unhappy center's long-running desire to be moved in the wake of Dwight Howard 's arrival in July. Yet it remains unclear, sources say, how interested Atlanta really is in parting with coveted forward Paul Millsap -- who's considered an ideal frontcourt complement to Howard -- in exchange for Asik.
via Houston Rockets on track to trade Omer Asik; Boston Celtics emerging - ESPN.
Another team, deemed a "wildcard" by one league source, has teetered on the edge of negotiations and could become more seriously involved before the Rockets' self-imposed deadline of Friday to complete a deal.
Houston is pursuing a power forward in a deal, with candidates including Atlanta's Paul Millsap, Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young , Boston's Brandon Bass and Jeff Green and Cleveland's Anderson Varejao .
via Hawks, Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers , 76ers lead pack to acquire Rockets center Omer Asik - Yahoo Sports.
This isn't the first time the Cavaliers have come up, and they're known to be pushing Dion Waiters to anyone and everyone interested. The Hawks have been linked forever because of Paul Millsap's excellent fit next to Howard and the remarkably fluid two-year contract he's on. But you would have to think Millsap holds too much valuable as both a player and a trade asset to move for Asik and his $15 million "poison pill" in 2015.
Meanwhile, ESPN floats the possibility of a three-way trade sending Jeff Green to Cleveland, Anderson Varejao to Houston, and Asik to Boston, with Houston snagging a first-round pick, Daryl Morey's real object of covet with the value of this year's draft, not only for the pick itself, but its inevitable value at the trade deadline should Houston pursue yet another upgrade.
So to review:
1. 76ers: Likely based on relationship with Sam Hinkie and ease of transfer, though the Rockets aren't crazy keen on either Spencer Hawes or Thaddeus Young. If there was a deal to be made it would have happened already, given the relationship between the two GMs. This is the fallback, default trade option.
2. Celtics: Boston would only want this if they can get an upgrade without giving anything of substance up. Jared Sullinger is off the table according to multiple reports, as is Rajon Rondo . Jordan Crawford is their most vaulable asset right now (seriously, where are we?) so he's not going anywhere, either.
3. Cavaliers: They have a wing to give in Waiters and the willingness to take on the money for Asik, but the question is whether they'll be able to find a three-way partner to provide a pick, assuming they don't want to surrender their own.
4. Hawks: They have the pick ( Brooklyn Nets ) the Rockets could want, but the Millsap talk for now is entrely from Houston' side and doesn't make much objective sense from Hawks GM Danny Ferry's standpoint unless there's more involved from Houston or in a three-way. Ferry's admirably quiet stance and ability to keep their position close to the vest complicates how serious these talks can be considered.
5. Mystery Team: Who knows?
But Asik looks to be on the move, and you'd have to think with the leaks coming Tuesday night that the deal is closer to being done Wednesday than at the deadline.
Asik is averaging four points and seven rebounds for Houston and has missed games over his dissatisfaction with the Rockets over his role since the free agency acquisition of Dwight Howard.

By RICHARD W. STEVENSON with LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
Published: December 12, 2002
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11— President Bush intends to announce a plan on Friday to start vaccinating military personnel, health care and emergency workers against smallpox within weeks, and to offer immunization to the public on a voluntary basis starting in 2004, administration officials said tonight.
The announcement comes after months of debate within the administration over how to respond to the threat that terrorists or hostile governments might use the smallpox virus on the battlefield or against civilians in the United States.
Mr. Bush had to weigh the relative risks of vaccination, which can cause serious side effects and even death in rare cases, against the possibility that the disease, once one of the world's great scourges, could be deliberately spread through large populations.
Administration officials described the plan after ABC News broadcast excerpts from an interview with Mr. Bush in which he said he would eventually offer all Americans a chance to be vaccinated.
''I think it ought to be a voluntary plan,'' Mr. Bush told Barbara Walters in the interview, which will be broadcast on the program ''20/20.'' ''In other words, I don't think people ought to be compelled to make the decision which they think is best for their family. And what's going to be very important is for us to make sure that there's ample information for people to make a wise decision.''
Government officials have estimated that about 500,000 military personnel and 500,000 civilians -- mostly health care and emergency workers who would be most likely to be exposed to someone who had contracted smallpox -- would be covered by the plan's initial phases.
Eventually as many as 10 million people involved in law enforcement, health care and emergency response could be offered the vaccine, administration officials said.
Administration officials said they expected the Pentagon to order the military to vaccinate within weeks. They said that the vaccinations of health care and emergency workers would be carried out under plans submitted by each state to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and that they were likely to start around the first of the year.
The officials said it would be 2004 before there would be enough of a newly manufactured vaccine to offer it to the public.
A critical decision remaining to be made is whether the vaccine could be offered to the public sooner, before licensing, on an experimental basis. Polls show a majority of the public is willing to be vaccinated.
''The question is what do you do about John Q. Public between now and when licensed vaccine is widely available?'' a person familiar with the deliberations said tonight. ''That's what the president hasn't decided.''
The vaccine could simply be kept from the public until it is licensed. Another option would be to let people apply for the vaccine under the ''investigational new drug'' rules of the Food and Drug Administration. Under those rules, people who make a compelling case that they need experimental medicines can be given permission to take them by the F.D.A. But the process is cumbersome.
Existing stockpiles of the vaccine, which are decades old and much of which is not currently licensed by the government, will be used for the first phases of vaccination. In case of an attack, there is enough old vaccine to inoculate all Americans, administration officials said.
Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, and there have been no routine vaccinations in the United States since 1972. In recent years, however, the United States has come to fear that smallpox could be a potent biological weapon, and officials have identified several nations, including Russia, Iraq and North Korea, as possibly having hidden stocks.
The administration began debating whether to offer vaccines again after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks last year. But the vaccine is made from a live virus, and in some cases can cause fatal complications, especially among people with immune deficiencies.
In the interview with ABC, Laura Bush, the first lady, was asked whether she would want her twin 21-year-old daughters vaccinated.
''If the vaccine were available, which I think it will be, I would feel like that was certainly safe for them to do,'' Mrs. Bush said. ''All of us were. I know there's a slight risk. That's what people will weigh when they make the decision whether or not to have their children vaccinated.''
Throughout the debate over whether to vaccinate, decisions have been closely held by the White House. Top federal health officials said in October that they favored a plan like the one the president will announce on Friday and for months they have said his decision was imminent. But Mr. Bush's remarks to Ms. Walters appeared to catch top government health officials by surprise.
Tonight, Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, the director of the disease control centers, said, ''We have no confirmation of the policy decision yet.''
The C.D.C. is the federal agency responsible for monitoring diseases like smallpox and overseeing the states' plans to vaccinate health care workers.
''At this time, C.D.C. is not anticipating that any immunizations of health care workers will be given until January,'' Dr. Gerberding said in a telephone interview.
Meanwhile, she said, the agency is evaluating the plans for immunizing health care workers that the states and large cities were supposed to file by Dec. 9.
''We have almost all the states' plans and we are very pleased with the preliminary evaluation of them,'' Dr. Gerberding said.
The plans call for vaccinating ''from 400,000 to 500,000 health care workers,'' which is in keeping with earlier federal estimates, she said.

How many miles did the car have on it? Sounded like a 30,000+ miles maintance if the fluids needed to be changed and topped off. I wouldn't get this done at Danny's, especially when there are places like Sun Devil Auto, Big O Tires, etc...more qualified places I would think.
The last time I was at Danny's, those guys who try to tell you the extra's, like car fragrance, matts washed, wax, etc. One of them wouldn't leave me alone about purchasing wax, and I know they get a commission when they sell these extra's, but at the time...my car was practicley brand new and in beautiful shape, just dirty. The guy wouldn't shut up so I took off, haven't been back since. It sounds like your son got duped by one these guys, and it's unfortunate. That's no way to run a business to let your workers harass the customers, the general manger should be all over something like that and conduct things properly.

The SEC slapped ex-Gemstar CEO Henry Yuen with a $22.3 million fine for his role in his company's accounting fraud. The figure, reports the WSJ, is one of the largest civil penalties ever obtained against an individual in an accounting-fraud case. Earlier this year in a civil trial, federal judge Mariana Pfaelzer found Yuen liable for securities fraud, lying to auditors and falsifying Gemstar's books. He will also be permanently barred from serving as an officer or director of a publicly traded company.
The L.A.-based Gemstar, which licenses electronic TV guides for set-top boxes, is now controlled by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. According to a feature last month in the New York Times, Yuen was trained as a lawyer and nicknamed a patent terrorist early in his career for his willingness to sue potential business partners to protect his TV programming patents.
Randall Lee, director of the SEC's L.A. office, had some harsh words: "This is a case of intentional deception and fraud. Yuen's profits while he was carrying out this fraud were phenomenal by any definition." Yuen's lawyer Stanley Arkin says he will appeal the ruling.
The case against Yuen has been fascinating for the divergent paths that the SEC's and Justice Department's investigations have taken. While the SEC penalties are particularly harsh, Yuen hasn't been charged with any criminal wrongdoing directly related to Gemstar's fraud. He has been charged on one count of obstructing justice.
Late last year, after the DOJ reached a plea deal with Yuen on the obstruction charges, the SEC complained to federal judge John Walters that the Justice Department was being too easy on Yuen. Judge Walters, citing the SEC's view, rejected the plea deal, saying that Yuen's proposed punishment — serving six months of home detention and paying slightly more than $1 million in fines and charitable contributions — didn't fit the crime.
Ranee Katzenstein, an assistant U.S. attorney on the case, defended the DOJ: "He took a felony conviction and agreed to a substantial fine. It recognized that he accepted responsibility."
Though the SEC has no authority to bring criminal charges, Mike Piazza, its lead trial counsel in the case against Yuen, weighed in on the issue: "I firmly believe there is a case for criminal prosecution for accounting fraud and securities violations against Mr. Yuen."

Regent College was founded in 1968 as the first graduate school of theology in North America to make education of the laity its central focus. Our Christ-centred graduate programs and courses bring together vibrant evangelical faith and rigorous academics. Over 600 students join us every term (full- and part-time), from over 40 countries, representing more than 30 denominations. These students come from every vocation and field, with a breadth of perspectives, cultures, and ages. They leave transformed—spiritually and academically—and stay members of a thriving alumni community far beyond graduation. Regent is truly transdenominational—welcoming students from all ends of the theological spectrum. As an institution, Regent is both evangelical and orthodox, but our first priority is to remain true to orthodox faith as recorded in the Scriptures. The College is home to some of the most influential theological thinkers and remains one of the world's foremost graduate schools of Christian studies. regentcollege's tracks "But We See Jesus" - Jeff Greenman by regentcollege published on 2016/04/12 22:26:29 +0000 "Included" - Darrell Johnson by regentcollege published on 2016/04/10 17:32:57 +0000 Desiring to Desire - Sandi Mallinson by regentcollege published on 2016/03/16 20:19:19 +0000 Gary Thomas — Thy Will Be Done by regentcollege published on 2016/03/08 23:35:26 +0000 Rikk Watts - How Much Love For Jesus is Too Much Love? by regentcollege published on 2016/03/01 22:42:36 +0000 Chapel Talk - Feb 23, 2016 by regentcollege published on 2016/02/25 23:46:07 +0000 Translating for Pagans - Drew Lewis by regentcollege published on 2015/07/10 00:52:45 +0000 What Are We For? - John Owen by regentcollege published on 2015/07/10 00:50:19 +0000 A Word to the Wise - Daniel Treier by regentcollege published on 2015/07/10 00:45:29 +0000 I Am With You - Richard Bauckham by regentcollege published on 2015/07/10 00:38:45 +0000

Reading Log Entry #12: The Little Engine That Could by, Watty Piper
This book does a good job capturing reader's attentions. First, there are many different emotions that occur throughout this story. Readers are able to relate and predict how the engine will feel next based off of the facial expressions and text in the book. The train was sad when it broke down, but then happy when he was able to deliver all of the toys to the children. Second, this book encourages readers to have positive attitudes by saying "I think I can, I think I can." This is important because whenever you are having a bad day or a hard time, staying positive can motivate you to reach your goal and do the best you can. Others would tell him not to worry about dropping the toys off, but since it was his job and he knew children were waiting, the train persisted to get moving again. Finally, I like how the train took a risk to do what he thought was right. Most people try to avoid risks, but in this story taking a risk could mean happiness for many people. Sometimes it is good to think of others and put others first before yourself. This shows respect and courage, which are good traits to have as a person. The overall message of this book is to never give up. After reading this book, it is clear that anyone who puts in a lot of effort will get a good outcome in return.
I was not a big fan of this book. I found this book to be very long and wordy. For a student or child learning to read, the fluff words can be confusing and needless. For example, the toys ask three trains to help them get over the mountain. Each time they give a very long explanation as to why the train should help them. "Our engine has broken down, and the boys and girls on the other side won't have any toys to play with or good foods to eat unless you help us." Personally, I read this aloud to a student of mine and it was very hard to read fluently. Too many words can be confusing, and they were non-essential to the plot. I also did not like how long this story took to get to the title character. As I was reading it, I started questioning if I was indeed reading The Little Engine that Could. The student lacked engagement and we both grew weary of the story by the time we reached the little engine that could. For example, the first two-thirds of the book are about separate engines, then the last little part of the book is about the little engine. I do not think the title of this book appropriately reflects the story. This really brought the message of the book to believe in yourself, down, in my opinion.
This book is about a train that does not think it will be able to complete his trip, but with encouragement from others he finishes his trip. This book was one of my favorites growing up. It inspired me to never give up even when the going gets tough.
The illustrations are very colorful and detailed depicting the train as he goes on his hard journey.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0448405202, Hardcover)The unknowing progenitor of a whole generation of self-help books, Wally Piper's The Little Engine That Could is one of the greatest tales of motivation and the power of positive thinking ever told. In this well-loved classic, a little train carrying oodles of toys to all of the good boys and girls is confronted with a towering, seemingly impassable mountain. As nicely as they ask, the toys cannot convince the Shiny New Engine or the Big Strong Engine--far too impressed with themselves--to say anything but "I can not. I can not." It is left up to the Little Blue Engine to overcome insurmountable odds and pull the train to the other side. The Little Engine That Could is an entertaining and inspirational favorite, and the Little Blue Engine's rallying mantra "I think I can--I think I can" will resonate for a lifetime in the head of every child who hears it. (Ages 4 to 8))

When the other engines refuse, the Little Blue Engine tries to pull a stranded train full of dolls, toys, and good food over the mountain.

Democrats have pointed out in recent weeks that groups that weren't conservative also were closely scrutinized by the IRS, and that liberal groups were snagged on agency watch lists.
House Republicans have signaled this week that they still plan on making the IRS targeting a part of their legislative strategy, even as much of the congressional investigation stays underground.
A House Appropriations subcommittee approved a 24 percent cut in IRS funding on Wednesday, and Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorTrump's Breitbart hire sends tremors through Capitol Hill Cantor: Trump and Clinton 'very imperfect' Republican exodus from Trump grows MORE (R-Va.) is preparing votes on six separate measures that relate to the IRS.
The Oversight panel also voted last month that Lois Lerner, a key IRS official in the controversy, waived her Fifth Amendment rights in an appearance before the committee.

Poor reception
Reviewed by Geoff. Review Posted 07/04/2012
I bought this to replace my old wireless access point, thinking it would provide much better reception and coverage in my home. Whilst setup was easy, and it supports the latest levels of security, the strength and coverage of the signal is far worse than my older model.
The aerial is also hard wired, so you cannot boost the signal by attaching a better aerial.
Very disappointing product from Netgear. My advice buy something else

We tried to call the local office that my son took the phone to in Conway, Arkansas and could not get them to answer the phone. Alltel 800 customer service could not help, as she stated the same as above... when asked for her name and where she was from, she only would tell us the U.S.... she was definitely not from the US. She also tried to connect to the local office and could not do so, she could not even find the number, we had to give it to her. We have been customers for years and we have 5 phones. Alltel apparently does not value our business.

You knuckled somebody over

ALL manufacturers have phones that don't work good. You name a model of phone by any manufacturer and you'll find more complaints about it than good comments. Why? Because happy people don't WHINE like you are doing. They are content and quiet.
Your problem was with the company that made the phone, NOT ALLTEL. However you whined enough that a rep probably just gave you a phone to shut you up and get you out the door.
GOOD CS is not giving you whatever you want. Your phone was pronounced by the manufactuerer as NOT covered under warranty. Alltel did not decided that, the MAKER of the phone did. So, Alltel has no say in that yet you continued to press what for Alltel Was a dead issue. As you did not get what you wanted you proclaimed that BAD CS. In this you are WRONG. Good CS is treating everybody consistently and fairly, which is how your situation was treated.
I hope you are proud of how you manipulated they system and got what you did not deserve.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

2) When told this, you stated a Supv had no cust service skills. That is because he was telling you what you did not WANT to hear, which was the truth. Sorry, but that's the honest truth here. You didn't like being confronted with the truth. Cust Svc is not giving into all demands; good Cust Svc is treating everybody fairly and consistently. You didn't get what you wanted so you decided the CS was poor. WRONG.
3) Most stores are too busy to handle call volumes. That's just a fact of life. Rather then letting those calls drop, they usually set up their phones to rollover to the main IVR system. Most things people call stores about can be handled over the phone, so this is a good compromise.

About About Airport Parking
For your next trip you won't have to worry about parking if you have an About Airport Parking promo code from Groupon Freebies. Since launching in 2008—and being named one of that year's top travel websites by "Travel + Leisure"—About Airport Parking has carved out a niche as the definitive online directory of airport parking lots. Today, it lists information on more than 400 airport parking lots at more than 100 airports. Even better, once you find a parking lot that suits your needs, you can reserve a space, often for a discounted price. Before you book a parking spot, snag an About Airport Parking coupon to cut down on the total price.
The unseasoned traveler might make the mistake of thinking that all airport parking lots are the same. But they would only need to visit About Airport Parking's website to realize that that simply isn't the case. There, they can compare parking lots using an array of tools, narrowing down their selection by choosing from amenities such as whether the lot is covered or whether it offers mechanical services. And, thanks to About Airport Parking's helpful map tool, travelers can find which lots are closest to the airport. Chosen lot that isn't walking distance from the terminal? Fear not. Most of About Airport Parking's lots offer free shuttles to and from the airport.
The staff members at About Airport Parking are authorities on airport parking lots. But, that doesn't mean they don't listen to their customers. In fact, the website collects user ratings and reviews for the lots, each penned by real customers who have insight into the parking experience. Before you book your parking spot and write your review, pick up an About Airport Parking promotional code from below.
There's a lot to consider when selecting an airport parking lot, such as "Does the lot have a complimentary shuttle?" and "Will my vehicle be accepted by the other vehicles?" Get some help for your considerations with an About Airport Parking promo code from Groupon Freebies.
