SPRINGVALE — Kids and canines in costumes haunted a stretch of Main Street on Thursday, Oct. 24, when the Sanford Parks and Recreation Department held its second annual Halloween "Spooktacular" Parade.
The spooky procession started at a little after five that afternoon in front of Moody's Collision Center and ended in the Sanford Junior High School parking lot, where the rec department's annual Halloween party awaited the children and their families.
Here are a few snapshots of the fun ...

I signed a work order for $199.15 , with presumption, acquiescence, from Gina, to purge all hoses. She sent her mechanic to begin work. Before he began, I also admonished him to purge all hoses, before attempting to do any further work on the AC. Work completed, I paid with check card # 4828 5359 5109 4025.
I was informed AC was in good working order. I placed my hand on the vent. It was not cold, but I assumed it would take a while to get cold. Within one mile of leaving the garage, the windows had to be opened. It was not working.
I immediately called the garage, was instructed to bring it back. I took a day off from my work as a self-employed cleaner, $30 per hour, and returned. It was worked on again. It appeared to be in good working order, upon leaving the garage and parked until the next day.
Upon turning the AC on, I heard what sounded like metal flying, immediately turned the AC off and went back to the garage. The compressor was destroyed.
The hoses, I have been informed, were never PURGED!
Mechanics refused to afix the cowl, lost screws and left interior in the condition of attached photo.
Gina instructed to bring it back and she would install a new compressor for another $200. I do not accept this proposal, since the hoses have yet to be purged!
I, the plaintiff, Vera Peskan, hereby demand full refund and damages in the amount of two work days 16 hours at $30 per hour, $480, plus $199.15, for a total of $679.15

Purge the hoses? What is that? The system should have been flushed while the compressor, and accumulator was off. Then it should have been vacuumed down for at least 45 minutes and recharged.
The shop owes you nothing. Whoever did the replacement work failed to do the job properly. I'll assume it was you.
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?

Ontario has become the latest province to formally recognize the serious toll that working as a first responder can take on a person's mental health.
On February 18, following considerable work by the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association (OPFFA), the province introduced legislation that recognizes post-traumatic stress as an occupational illness among fire fighters and other first responders, which will make it easier for those suffering from post-traumatic stress to access workers' compensation benefits and proper treatment. The legislation will benefit the 11,000 members of OPFFA and thousands of other first responders in Canada's largest province.
Dozens of OPFFA members crammed into the Ontario Legislature in Toronto to watch Labour Minister Kevin Flynn introduce the Supporting Ontario's First Responders Act (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder), which will remove the need for first responders to link post-traumatic stress to the workplace, and which will also require those who employ first responders to implement post-traumatic stress prevention plans.
Ontario's legislation is part of a broader strategy on post-traumatic stress that the Ontario government announced earlier this year, and follows in the footsteps of Alberta and British Columbia, which enacted workers' compensation laws addressing post-traumatic stress and mental disorders, respectively, in 2012, and Manitoba, which enacted similar legislation for first responders last year.
OPFFA President Carmen Santoro thanked Minister Flynn and Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Yasir Naqvi for their action on such an important issue.
"The Ontario government is recognizing what we have always known - mental health is just as important as physical health," Santoro said. "With this addition to our presumptive legislation, fire fighters suffering from post-traumatic stress will be able to focus on getting healthy and not on navigating a complicated bureaucratic regime."
Santoro also acknowledged the hard work that OPFFA members have done in the political arena. "Our locals have done tremendous work building relationships with politicians from all parties. It's really thanks to them that we have been able to get widespread support for the government's initiative today."
Minister Flynn said the legislation will give first responders "the peace of mind they deserve" and that the accompanying prevention, resiliency and research initiatives round out a comprehensive approach to post-traumatic stress that everyone can be proud of. "Given all that we ask of our first responders, it is only fair that we support them when they need us most."
The Ontario Government says evidence shows that first responders are at least twice as likely compared to the general population to suffer post-traumatic stress, due to the risk of routine exposure to traumatic stressors.
Post-traumatic stress coverage is a welcome addition to Ontario's existing presumptive laws for professional fire fighters, which were first enacted in 2007 covering eight types of cancers, plus heart disease. Legislation phasing in an additional six cancers was enacted in 2014.
Earlier this year, Ontario announced a post-traumatic stress strategy for first responders that includes an awareness campaign, an annual leadership summit, free online resources and research grants. Learn more ...
According to the Tema Conter Memorial Trust, a leading national post-traumatic stress advocacy group, 10 Canadian first responders have committed suicide so far in 2016. Last year, the group recorded 39 first responder suicides, including nine fire fighters.

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg wants his city to consider an anti-discrimination ordinance. Greg Goodnight urged the same thing this week in Kokomo.
Coan Engineering is planning to invest $1.4 million to expand its Kokomo facility.
The lawsuit comes just days after Howard County Judge William Menges filed an order of direct contempt of court against the Mayor of Kokomo.
The Mayor hopes a visiting delegation from Kokomo's sister city in China will lead to increased educational and economic opportunities for the city.
The plans include adding silver and brass-colored panels to the building's exterior.
At least three of the clubs in question are owned by the same person.
Kokomo's mayor and the president of the Howard County commissioners consider ways to keep county employees out of downtown spaces.
County Clerk Kim Wilson says she hopes for more transportation options, but says placing vote centers won't necessarily depend on it.
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight says the bill is a wake-up call of sorts for unions, who must adapt to any changes it brings.
Kokomo's two mayoral candidates have vastly different war chests, but challenger Scott Kern still thinks he's raised enough to win.

I had also purchased Gold Memership services from Specialty Merchandise Corporation. Their telephone number being (805)578-5500. I put 1/4 of the money down, Cancelled my membership with them within the 30 business day deadline for cancellations to be able to receive a full refund. I paid out a total of $150.00 which also included the additional $35.00 start up fee, which I had never authorized the $35.00 fee, yet they took it out anyway. I never did receive a refund from this company either
These companies work hand in hand with eachother. Between the two companies, I'm owed back $651.00. All I'm asking for is the refund that I deserve. I gave these companies money in good faith that they were going to take care of me, when what they really did was take my money and gave me absolutely nothing in return for it.

The American Athletic Conference has announced date changes for three games on their 2014 football schedule.
Tulane at Tulsa, the first AAC game of the season, has been moved up two days to Thursday, Aug. 28. Kickoff time and television coverage will be announced at a later date.
Two other games moved involve the Houston Cougars. UH's season-opener vs. UTSA, which will be the first game at the new Houston Football Stadium, will now be played on Friday, Aug. 29 at 9pm ET and will be broadcast by ESPNews.
Houston's home game against Temple has been moved up one day to Friday, Oct. 17 and will kickoff at 9pm ET on ESPNU.
Football Schedules
Houston will have to compete against Friday night football – something that is huge in Texas. This change will preclude an opening-game sellout in the new stadium.
Almost all the HS teams will kickoff on Sat Aug 30. Many will also play Sat sep 7 before switching to mostly friday nights on sep 13.
Bill is incorrect. For example, the Houston ISD has four games on 8/28, nine games on 8/29 and four games on 8/30. The smaller towns in Texas will almost all play on Friday, 8/29. Where he got his info is a mystery.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
So as a small business owner, you are looking for some credibility and want to help your business grow, you have a quality product or service, so you want your phones to wring or the emails to start coming in. So you put aside some funds towards things like this that would help your business grow. You bite the bullet and pay to get your company listed, little do you know-- you are about to get sucked into a nightmare that could cost your business everything.
One month goes by and you check results, you visit their website and on your shiny new profile you see that a handful of people have been viewing your little profile, but not nearly enough for the amount of money you paid. Surely they visited your website? Looking at the Google Analytics tracking you included on your site, you notice that not a single visitor has come to your website. Furious at the poor results, you decide to cancel your listing and request that a refund be given due to poor performance. Unfortunately your emails go unheard, so now its time to call support.
Upon calling you are told that you cannot cancel until the end of your next billing period. You say this is ridiculous and that they should cancel the account immediately, its insulting how much you paid and how bad the results are. They say you didnt complete your profile, but you have 99% of what is up and posted. They say this isnt how IT works, you have to wait until the next billing period before you can cancel. You ask them politely to please cancel your account now and refund you. They repeate the same thing over and over... they can refund you and cancel your account as soon as the end of the billing period comes. So you foolishly take his/her word for it simply tired of fighting.
When the next cycle comes, your bank account shows yet another $319 has been debited, you call and say you would like to cancel your account now, and you fight for your money, but unfortunately nobody is on your side. By signing up to the service you agreed to pay them $319 for cost per click ads on their advertising network that supposedly send people to your profile that you have no proof that these people even visited or exist, since the stats are all provided by CityGrid.
Finally another billing cycle goes by and you are charged another $319. Youve asked the credit card company to stop allowing any payments and they are happy to comply. But CityGrid is not, they want to steal more of your money, so they start sending debt collectors your way. Thankfully you told the bank about this and youve only paid $250. But now CityGrid claims you owe them. Without my effort to fight the last two bills, I am told I would have had to pay them over $1000 for them to have done absolutely nothing for me except give me grief and waste my time.
When you start a business you need as much help as you can get, you need people on your side who can support you and help you grow. I now have debt collectors calling me and calling my credit card company telling them that I owe money and ruining my credit score, all because I signed up for a shitty service that did nothing for me and because they refused to cancel my accont and refund me for such a poor performing service. Im putting up this website to help warn others of this terrible scam of a company, so that you may not have to go through this ordeal as I have, I wish the best for your companies success, and hope you dont have to fall into the trap as I have done. I wish there was more that can be done, but unfortunately companies like this go about their scammy ways unchecked, and from what I can tell things like this are only going to be more common in the future.
Do not use the services of this company, you will be sorry. If you wish to inquire about the accuracy of this account/had similar experience, please contact me at (((email redacted))) - I will happily provide proof of all accounts. Meanwhile, every day new people fall into the trap and this company continues to take advantage of people and steal their money, all over the world. Please see Ripoff Report for similar accounts.

My LO just moved up to the 12-18 month old class this week. I'm curious if I should bring Valentine's gifts for kiddos that young. I have no idea if they even do that. She already brought home a Valentine's day craft they did, but I'm at a loss for exchanging items at this age.
Any ideas or suggestions? Or should I not even worry about this?

The bed was comfortable
The gentleman who checked us in was rude. The bathtub did not have an option to take a bath. The tv tilted toward the floor. The complimentary breakfast was pre wrapped muffins and honey buns with a shared but of sunny D.
It was clean and comfortable, compared to other hotels in the area, this is the BEST! Breakfast was fantastic too.
near a busy road!
Hotel Employee is a very sweet man.
I was hesitant when I first pulled up the hotel. But I was PLEASANTLY surprised when I went into the room. The room was very clean, no smell. I would definitely stay here again.
The breakfast, not much to it. But this isn't what I was looking for anyway.

Love's touring plans disrupt good vibrations
Even on a day designed to celebrate 50 years of the signature harmonies of the Beach Boys, the notoriously fractious group couldn't avoid striking yet another discordant note amid all the good vibrations.
A day before band members gathered at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles to take in various accolades, singer and lyricist Mike Love caught his fellow band members by surprise in announcing his decision to resume touring with his latter-day incarnation of the Beach Boys -- minus creative leader Brian Wilson and fellow original members Al Jardine and David Marks.
The move by Love, who legally controls the Beach Boys name and who has sued Wilson and Jardine over various issues throughout the years, raises major questions about any future for the reunited edition of the quintessential California band.
It's played more than 70 performances this year on four continents and released a warmly received new studio album for the first time in more than two decades.
"The 50th anniversary tour was designed to go for a year and then end," Love said at the Grammy Museum just after he, Wilson, Jardine, Marks and Bruce Johnston were presented with triple-platinum awards signifying more than 3 million copies sold of their 2003 hits compilation, "Sounds of Summer -- The Very Best of the Beach Boys."
Love indicated that he's being protective of the Beach Boys' legacy.
"You've got to be careful not to get overexposed," Love said. "There are promoters who are interested, but they've said, 'Give it a rest for a year.' The Eagles found out the hard way when they went out for a second year and wound up selling tickets for $5."
That left other band members confused and disappointed.
"Brian is very bummed," Wilson's manager, Jean Sievers, said.
Wilson himself said this year's tour, which includes two final performances later next week in London, has been "very tiring," but he added, "I'm really looking forward to doing another album."
Love said that he sees recording and touring as separate matters, and that his decision to return to touring without Wilson, who is his cousin, or Jardine and Marks, who started the Beach Boys when they were teenagers growing up in Hawthorne, Calif., wouldn't preclude more recording together.
"I'd be interested in making another album if I could write some songs with Brian," Love said.
Love's announcement generated dozens of mostly critical responses on Rolling Stone's website when the news appeared this week.
The shift in the touring lineup also has caused some confusion outside the group itself. Texas club Nutty Jerry's had booked a Beach Boys show, which has since been canceled.
Love's manager Jay Jones said it was Love's decision to halt the show because it was being inaccurately promoted as part of the reunion tour with the original members.
Nevertheless, group members smiled for photos during the platinum award presentation and genially answered questions from an enthusiastic crowd of about 200 people, including a few who had flown in from Florida, New Jersey and Kentucky.
Following the Q-AND-A session, a stripped-down version of the touring group using acoustic instruments performed five songs. The set showcased the distinctive, multilayered harmonies that propelled hits such as "California Girls," "Surfer Girl," "Help Me, Rhonda" and "I Get Around" up the charts in the 1960s.
Wilson has his own group, the Brian Wilson Band, which has been accompanying him on tour and in the studio since 1999, and with which he has made several new solo albums.
Love and Johnston have continued touring as the Beach Boys with their own support musicians.
Wilson and Jardine are 70, Love is 71 and Johnston is 68. Marks is the youngest original Beach Boy at 64. Their anniversary tour shows have often ran 21/2 to three hours and have included as many as 53 songs.
"All the other stuff besides the music gets very exhausting," Jardine said.

Larry: For the record she was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. BTW, she like Trump's daughter are both married to jewish men. Her mother and father both received PHD's from the University of Pennsylvania. I would rather have her and her family in this country then have the ignorant people who post on stories like this who show the hate and stupidity Trump presents. Abedin has been investigated by republican congressman a number of times including not granting her a security status. Nothing was ever found. I am leaning towards Johnson but if he dropped out and Clinton was indicted, I would rather she run the country from jail in a orange suit then have a clown who happens to wear a suit.

However, this is the same guy that created Quotesource or MS Direct Insurance Services. He advertised the same kind of "opportunity" in the past. He charged $450 for his lead deposit (even though the leads were free). Then he proceeded to wait longer than the 45 days that paypal allows for refunds, then says he's in an accident, on the verge of death, then makes a miraculous recovery. Lucky for him, but as for me, I'm out $450 all because he decided to try and catfish anyone who will listen.
If you'd like to do your homework, just look at ripoffreport.com. Google for "Quotesource complaints". Get creative. He ripped a bunch of us off. Also, yes, this is the same guy, but to test it, why don't you call him up on the number provided. It'll go to a voice mailbox that never gets picked up (just like Quotesource was). Or, you can just google the title of "SATELLITE CALL CENTER LIFE AGENTS". You'll find a ton of them nationwide as well as on some other job boards, like Indeed.com.
Lastly, this is a tracker to see who owns a particular website. Mark Flores owns this website.
Finally, if you did respond to one of his last emails and were scammed, contact me. I use Google's email account (figure that one out), and my username is "randombabu". So hopefully you guys see this and can put two and two together. Hint - the username comes before the electronic mail address. For example, it's randombabu at gmail dot com. haha. Simple, huh? Let's see if this can stay up even with that, because even though we all have gripes, we can't contact one another. How stupid is that???!??!?!?!?

I've uploaded NextGen Gallery 2.0.31, but I'm having a few big issues.
For one, I absolutely cannot find where I would add captions for my images. I've looked through everything, including documentation from NGG and even Google searching it. Can someone point me to where this feature is?
Next, the thumbnail layout is weird when using this on a page. It seems to be trying to force them all into one column down the page, rather than allowing them to flow and wrap, creating multiple rows & columns.
Also, I just realized the lightbox feature when clicking on the thumbnails isn't working.
I'm working off of WP 3.6.1 and Headway 3.5.11.
Many thanks!

Star Trek #43-45 (DC) by Mike Carlin, Tom Sutton, Ricardo Villagrán, Michele Wolfman, Helen Vesik
Not every story has a hero, and not every moral is a good one. One side of a conflict can be wrong without their opponents being right. In situations like that, even if all of the parties come to an agreement, the results are bound to be bittersweet at best. I don't know for sure that Mike Carlin set out to write a story in which everyone (and I do mean everyone) came across as one shade of villain or another, but that's certainly what he accomplished in this three-issue arc. By the end of the story, a solution has been reached that is probably the best possible option for the problem at hand, but it's still a resolution that makes me uneasy. It's very much a lesser of two evils situation, a compelling and difficult philosophical question with no good answers. Continue Reading »

The Spectre #1-9 (DC) by Doug Moench, Gene Colan (#1-6), Cam Kennedy (#7-8), Gray Morrow (#9), Steve Mitchell (#1-6), Adrienne Roy (#1-6, 9), Michele Wolfman (#7-8), John Costanza (1-5), Agustin Mas (#6-9), Robert Greenberger
The Spectre is kind of a jerk, but that's ok, because so is Jim Corrigan, the man who serves as the his human host. They're jerky in different ways, which causes a lot of friction between them, and also makes them quite the entertaining pair to follow as a reader. Their relationship is kind of a mixed-up buddy cop thing; the Spectre is in some ways the loose cannon character, because Corrigan never knows what he'll do next and can't really trust him not to overreact to any given situation. Yet the Spectre is also the more serious of the pair, and all of his actions are motivated by the demands of a higher authority. Meanwhile, Corrigan is a wise-cracking rogue and anti-authority in general, yet wants to reign in the Spectre and stop him from always being so severe in his treatment of the various villains they face. So neither one of them fits neatly into a recognizable character mold, yet as a duo, they have a very familiar dynamic, one partner trying to keep the other in check as they work toward common goals with very different methods. And all the while, they are both largely unlikable as people, yet interesting as characters, and because they're always fighting against much worse people than themselves, I'm on their side even when they're being aggressively pigheaded and annoying. The Spectre does a fantastic job of making compelling figures out of its two miserable leads by pitting them against each other morally despite the fact that they are ostensibly on the same side. They're both good guys, technically, but neither of them are necessarily all that good at being good. Instead, they make each other better, while simultaneously making one another feel worse, a conflicted team bound together against their wills who only barely make their partnership work.

Wild Dog #1-4 (DC) by Max Collins, Terry Beatty, Dick Giordano, Michele Wolfman, John Workman, Mike Gold
I have sort of a weird relationship with Wild Dog. Unlike most of the comics I review for this column, this is one I've read before. Multiple times, in fact. But I don't revisit this series because it's one of my favorites; on the contrary, I find it mostly disappointing, with too much wasted potential, mostly flimsy characters, and a glorification of violence that's extreme even for a superhero comicbook. Wild Dog is arguably not a superhero title since the main character has no powers, but if you put on a mask and have a fake name, you're a superhero in my mind. If Batman and Green Arrow count, Wild Dog certainly does. Anyway, my original point is that I'm not a very big fan of this comic, but even after all this time, I want to be a fan. I wish this book was better, meatier, more worthwhile. It seems like it wants to do a lot of things that I would really enjoy, but it never quite gets there, too trapped in its own weird structure and mixed-up priorities. Continue Reading »

Prime Minister David Cameron arrived in Brussels today to discuss the EU Budget with other senior political figures. It's a difficult issue for the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party that he leads, so Cameron's team will be keen to get his message out, especially as rumours are now circulating that the summit has stopped without agreement. As is the way in modern politics, social media will be a key part of this.
Indeed, one of he Prime Minister's first actions was to check-in on Foursquare as he arrived at the summit:
Foursquare is becoming a growing, and I think very important, weapon in political communications and campaigning. Indeed, President Obama signed up during his recent successful Presidential Campaign.
He also tweeted out an initial statement, using a variety of budget debate related hashtags to make sure as many people saw it as possible.
PM is in #Brussels for #EUbudget summit: 'We will negotiate hard for a good deal for Britain's & Europe's taxpayers" foursquare.com/v/justus-lipsi…
— UK Prime Minister (@Number10gov) November 22, 2012
However, as the talks have progressed, and then seemingly stalled, more mocking hashtags have been created, (although not used by the Prime Minister!) This time it's #rompuyshambles, showing many believe the failure of the talks is down to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.
Those in local government are also beginning to finally realise the importance of social media too. For example, Conway Borough council have recently released a nine page report look at how its members can interact using social media. The Council acknowledges that social media could be beneficial, and is indeed already being used by many elected members, but also highlights some risks:
"Elected Members making use of Social Media are easily identifiable as Councillors. This can blur the boundaries between official business and personal or political use. There is a risk that comments made over Social Media could incorrectly be seen as representative of the Authority.
"Given the 'instant' nature of Social Media for online casual chatter,there is a risk that contributors could be drawn into expressing personal or political opinions, rather than keeping comments purely factual when discussing Council business."
Ultimately they concede that social media "is already an accepted method of communication" in politics with politicians from President Barack Obama to Welsh Secretary David Jones leading the way."
It does seem rather odds that in 2012 documents of this nature are still required. Local politicians should be using social media to engage fully with their communities, and it seems even more overdue when you see figures like the Prime Minister incorporating it as an essential part of their communication from major events.

Both sides agree that the program rating tool, despite flaws, has few competitors
The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART), which federal agencies use to determine whether their programs are effective, is in need of improvements, some critics say. But even the critics agree that few alternatives exist.
PART is under fire from critics who argue that it is too blunt and sometimes biased. Others insist that Congress, not the executive branch, should take the lead in evaluating federal programs.
Those sentiments were expressed last week at a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Federal Financial Management, Government Information and International Security Subcommittee.
The tool's defenders, who include Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), said PART enables a more comprehensive review of federal programs than any other means available. Coburn, who holds annual hearings on PART, said the executive branch leads the effort to evaluate programs partly because Congress seems uninterested in taking the lead role.
"We're lazy," said Coburn, the subcommittee's chairman. PART, he said, is the only tool available.
Clay Johnson, deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, said the Bush administration continues to improve the tool, which it began using in 2002. Johnson said many lawmakers appear to be uninterested in critically assessing the effectiveness of federal programs.
PART allows Congress to question the value of federal programs and define program performance standards, he said. Congress should hold agencies accountable for meeting those standards, he added.
Using PART, agency officials examine programs to assess whether they have clear purposes and defined goals and whether they are meeting those goals. The assessment asks common questions about each program to discover its strengths and weaknesses. The results show agencies how they can improve.
Bush administration officials weigh the PART scores among several factors in making program funding requests in the president's annual budget proposal, Johnson said. About 80 percent of federal programs have been assessed using PART, and the remaining 20 percent are scheduled for assessment this year. The results are publicly available at OMB's ExpectMore.gov Web site.
PART has critics outside and inside government. Adam Hughes, director of federal fiscal policy at OMB Watch, an independent watchdog group, said PART is poor at measuring program effectiveness. Testifying at last week's hearing, Hughes said the tool is biased and its assessment measures are not as useful as they should be.
"PART assessments are tantamount to a baseball coach walking to the mound to remove his pitcher and then chastising him for not kicking enough field goals as he brings in a reliever," he said.
Hughes said OMB uses the rating system to increase the Bush administration's authority and influence, and to diminish the role of Congress, which has statutory responsibility for assessing federal programs.
But Johnson deflected that criticism. "This is not a power grab by the executive branch," he said. Within the House Appropriations Committee, he added, "one unelected staff member" opposes PART.
Johnson said he is baffled by language about PART contained in the committee report on the Fiscal 2007 Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, which the House passed last week. "Most budget justifications continue to be filled with references to [PART], drowning in [redundancy] and yet still devoid of useful information," the report states.
"It's inexplicable that language like that is in there," Johnson said.
The administration and Congress disagree on aspects of PART, said Mike Hettinger, staff director of the House Government Reform Committee's Government Finance, Management and Accountability Subcommittee. Hettinger has been outspoken about PART problems. The administration's scoring brings bias into the system, he said, but if Congress were doing the scoring, the same problems would exist.
"At the end of the day, someone's making a judgment," Hettinger said. The administration should offer empirical information on the programs and let Congress assess that information, he said, adding, "Because the PART is so blunt, it's probably hurt its acceptance up here."
Acceptance takes time, Hettinger said, and PART has not had enough time to build credibility. "I think folks need to realize that," he said. "It's a good idea, and we need to find a way to make it work."

The letter contained what appeared to be an official letter of award, and six vouchers supposedly worth $400 each towards the purchase of; Set of gold watches, luggage set, camcorder, RCA stereo system, Dell laptop or desktop computers.
I started by checking the technical info. on the computers since that was what I was most interested in. Upon review of the technical info. on the computers noticed that they were very outdated (ie..the hard drives were only 10 GB, that's barley enough space to run the Windows XP program that it supposedly comes with, I doubt it!)
I am not a genius by any means, I have been ripped off before, so I also have learned the hard way, if it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is.
I typed in the name of the business to do research and this web site came up.
Thank you all for trying to help other less-fortunate individuals from getting ripped off.
I will join you to say, I guarantee that this company is a rip off, I hope that you are finding this info. before you too have become a victim.
I wish I had info. on how to stop this company from ripping off hard working people who are just trying to get a break in life.
It's really sad, I wonder what has this country turned into?
I hate to think that it may have become a land of opportunity.... but only for
thieves and criminals.
Here's to hoping there are still some honest businesses out there that serve the American public for the right reason.
I know businesses have to make a profit, but a what point does you fellow American become a factor in your business?
If it is any consolation, I do believe you reap what you sew.
Someday they will get theirs.
