Chronic constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficult passage of stools that persists for several weeks or longer.
Constipation is generally described as having fewer than three bowel movements a week.
Though occasional constipation is very common, some people experience chronic constipation that can interfere with their ability to go about their daily tasks. Chronic constipation may also cause excessive straining to have a bowel movement and other signs and symptoms.
Treatment for chronic constipation depends on the underlying cause. Though, in some cases, a cause for chronic constipation is never found.
Signs and symptoms of chronic constipation include:
Constipation may be considered chronic if you've experienced two or more of these symptoms for the last three months.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience unexplained and persistent changes in your bowel habits.
Constipation most commonly occurs when waste or stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract, causing it to become hard and dry. Chronic constipation has many causes:
Blockages in the colon or rectum may slow or stop stool movement. Causes include:
Neurological problems can affect the nerves that cause muscles in the colon and rectum to contract and move stool through the intestines. Causes include:
Problems with the pelvic muscles involved in having a bowel movement may cause chronic constipation. These problems may include:
Hormones help balance fluids in your body. Diseases and conditions that upset the balance of hormones may lead to constipation, including:
Factors that may increase your risk of chronic constipation include:
Complications of chronic constipation include:
You'll likely first seek medical care for constipation from your family doctor or general practitioner. You may be referred to a specialist in digestive disorders (gastroenterologist) if your doctor suspects a more advanced case of constipation.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of information to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions ahead of time will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important, in case time runs out. For constipation, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions as they occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time to go over additional questions you may have. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose chronic constipation include:
Treatment for chronic constipation usually begins with diet and lifestyle changes meant to increase the speed at which stool moves through your intestines. If those changes don't help, your doctor may recommend medications or surgery.
Your doctor may recommend the following changes to relieve your constipation:
Increase your fiber intake. Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals.
Your doctor may recommend a specific number of grams of fiber to consume each day. In general, aim for 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories in your daily diet.
A sudden increase in the amount of fiber you eat can cause bloating and gas, so start slowly and work your way up to your goal over a few weeks.
Several types of laxatives exist. Each works somewhat differently to make it easier to have a bowel movement.
Examples of laxatives include:
Prescription medications used to treat chronic constipation include:
Biofeedback training involves working with a therapist who uses devices to help you learn to relax and tighten the muscles in your pelvis. Relaxing your pelvic floor muscles at the right time during defecation can help you pass stool more easily.
During a biofeedback session, a special tube (catheter) to measure muscle tension is inserted into your rectum. The therapist guides you through exercises to alternately relax and tighten your pelvic muscles. A machine will gauge your muscle tension and use sounds or lights to help you understand when you've relaxed your muscles.
Surgery may be an option if you have tried other treatment and your chronic constipation is caused by rectocele, anal fissure or stricture.
For people who have tried other treatments without success and who have abnormally slow movement of stool through the colon, surgical removal of part of the colon may be an option. Surgery to remove the colon is rarely necessary.

A hat trick for the South Tahoe girls followed by a hard-fought loss for the boys resulted in a soccer split Thursday as South Tahoe hosted Incline.
A Brooke King hat trick helped propel the South Tahoe girls to a 5-1 win, but Incline boys answered back with a 3-2 win of their own.
King of hat tricks
Hat tricks are nothing new for King, who helped lead South Lake to a championship last year, but she collected her first one of the season Thursday.
South Tahoe came out slow but, led by King's scoring, the Vikings turned up the heat in a matter of minutes.
"Incline had a great possession the first five or 10 minutes of the game until we settled in and started playing our game," South Tahoe coach Chris DeLeon said. "We were just patient then, once we got the ball, we transitioned and started playing our game."
Patience paid off when King landed her first goal 13 minutes in. Riley Chapman served up a cross and Brittney Hubberts challenged. When the ball bounced off Incline's goalkeeper, King followed up.
The Vikings picked up point two when Cassidy Jackson passed to Jordyn Dion on the wing and she arched a huge kick up into the net.
Five minutes later, Jackson set up a scoring opportunity again and King seized it, sneaking the ball in the low corner. King now had two goals to her name and the Vikings headed to half with a comfy 3-0 lead.
The game was far from over though and both teams kept the physical intensity going through the second half.
"They were being physical so we were not looking like a bully team out there and that's how they should be playing. They did it well," DeLeon said.
Incline busted up the shutout in the final 10 minutes when Haley Derr crossed a high ball and Elise Nelson rose above the pack to head it in.
"Elise can do it. Elise has done it quite a bit. We actually have a couple girls who can do it when we get the ball to them," Incline coach Tom Canino said.
When the Incline girls had the ball they looked sharp, but they couldn't seem to hang onto it for long.
"I really feel like the difference between our teams is they moved the ball well up and down the field," Canino said. "We moved the ball well for two or three passes then we'd hand it to them."
The South Tahoe girls are now 1-0 in league and 6-1 overall.
Incline boys turn the tide
What Canino hadn't seen from the girls in the first game he got from the boys in the second.
Incline linked passes to maintain possession for most of the first half, setting a fast-paced game.
Erick Rodriguez and Salvador Vargas were a big part of Incline's continual possession.
"Erick Rodriguez was playing left wing and he kind of ate up whoever they put out there," Canino said.
Not surprisingly, Rodriguez found net first with a long cross shot from the wing 21 minutes in.
The Vikings picked up the pace after Incline's wakeup goal. South Tahoe's RoRo Castillo tied up the game with a penalty shot to end the first half of a no-holds-barred game.
"It was a very physical game. Both teams were on each other and for this early in the season it was kind of surprising, but also good because that's what this league is going to bring," South Tahoe assistant coach Bill Spicer said. "This league brings a tough game. Almost every game we go out is going to be tough."
Incline came out just as strong in the second half, but South Tahoe was now on the level.
We have a lot of first season varsity players but I was impressed with the way they came out in the second half," Spicer said. "Really the game could have gone either which way."
Incline scored first. Rey Estrada launched a ball to Kyle Reeves, who tapped it in.
Luis Munoz inched Incline further ahead when his cross kick deflected into South Tahoe's net.
South Tahoe put up a fight on the heels of Munoz' goal driving the ball into the Incline zone. A setup from Austin Williams helped Tim Muller find net to cut Incline's lead to one.
With time running out, South Tahoe battled with everything it had left. It looked like the Vikings had a tying shot when Castillo drove down with two minutes left, but three Incline defenders outmatched him in the corner. The Viking's final chance slipped away.
"We had the chemistry but we didn't use it in the first half," Castillo said. "We'll come back and get them next time."
The teams will meet again in Incline Oct. 11. The South Tahoe boys are now 1-1 in league and 3-1 overall.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Meeting with the media at Beaver Stadium a couple of hours before his first spring practice as Penn State football coach on Monday, Bill O'Brien said it was a three-man race to determine who would be the Nittany Lions' quarterback this fall and a starter might not be announced until the night before the season-opener against Ohio.
When the Lions hit the practice field, it looked like that timetable might have moved up considerably.
Danny O'Brien, the 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year who is in the process of transferring from Maryland, was photographed wearing a Penn State jacket on the sidelines at Holuba Hall. It is the second time he has visited Penn State.
The younger O'Brien, no relation to Penn State's coach, also had a brief exchange with Penn State student Karisa Maxwell, who was covering the opening of spring practice for The Steve Jones Show.
"Danny O'Brien said Penn State has a great program and this would be a great opportunity for him,'' Maxwell reported via Twitter.
The photo and Maxwell's tweet were picked up by Adam Rittenberg's Big Ten blog for ESPN.
Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson could not confirm O'Brien's presence. Bill O'Brien was asked for an update about Danny O'Brien's potential transfer to Penn State during his press conference at Beaver Stadium Monday afternoon but declined comment.
"That's like a prospect question, so I'm not going commenting on that right now. It's NCAA rules,'' Coach O'Brien said.
Danny O'Brien would have two years of eligibility remaining and be able to play immediately because he is scheduled to graduate this spring. He had just visited Wisconsin this weekend and also had been to Mississippi. Vanderbilt is another school to which he had been linked.
In two years with the Terrapins, O'Brien completed 342 of 605 passes for 4,086 yards, 29 touchowns and 18 interceptions.
Penn State has gone through two years of uncertainty at quarterback after the graduation of Daryll Clark. Rising junior Rob Bolden has started each of his first two years at Penn State as the starter only to be supplanted each time by former walk-on Matt McGloin, whose play has produced mixed results.
Paul Jones, a highly regarded prospect from the same recruiting class as Bolden, hasn't played at down with the Lions but is in the mix, too, after having apparently ironed out academic problems that kept him off the field last year.
"I'll be really clear on that. It's an open competition. There's no starter. And there won't be a starter named until possibly the night before the [season-opening] Ohio game,'' Bill O'Brien said of the Lions' quarterback situation at Monday's press conference.
O'Brien, though, said he prefers to look at it as a competition and not a controversy.
"We'll mix and match their reps. Each guy will get a chance to rep with the first team,'' O'Brien said. "To this point, I've been very pleased with these guys. They're competitive guys. They're smart guys. They're guys who really want to be coached. They want to be good.''
Coming up with someone to line up under center hasn't been much of an issue in much of Bill O'Brien's coaching career, and certainly not recently working with two-time NFL MVP Tom Brady as an assistant with the New England Patriots the last five season. Earlier in his coaching career as an assistant at Georgia Tech, O'Brien's quarterbacks included Heisman Trophy runner-up Joe Hamilton and 3,000-yard passer George Godsey.
"Well, there were no quarterback controversies in New England,'' O'Brien deadpanned.

Doddak is a Konkani breakfast dish, made with rava and is almost a cross between a rotti and a dosa in consistency. This recipe here is a variation made with cucumber called Taushe Doddak, adapted from here. Thanks, Manjula!
1 medium sized cucumber, grated
1 cup rava
1 tbsp wheat flour
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
2 green chilies, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh grated coconut or coconut powder
1 tsp jaggery
salt to taste
Mix grated cucumber (mine was unpeeled) and rava together. Add the remaining ingredients. Add enough water to make a thick, almost stiff batter. Cucumber itself gives out a lot of water. A few tablespoons are all that's needed. Heat & grease a griddle. Pour a ladleful of the thick batter and spread to make a dosa. Put oil around the edges and let it cook until slightly brown on one side. Flip dosa and cook the other side. Serve with chutney and/or sambar. It is delicious just by itself, as Manjula points out. This is best had hot off the griddle, as it tends to get a bit rubbery when cool.
This goes to RCI-Udupi and Mangalore cuisine, hosted by Sia of Monsoon Spice. The RCI event was started by Lakshmi. Thank you both!

Bob Hofman wasn�t gone from the game for long.
Then again, anybody who knows the longtime Fort Lewis College men�s basketball coach had to expect that he�d be back the second the doctors allowed.
Hofman took a medical leave of absence last week to deal with lingering problems with his shoulder and ear, and he returned from that leave Wednesday to take back the reins of the No. 17 Skyhawks.
It turns out that, according to FLC athletic director Gary Hunter, the hearing issues Hofman was experiencing easily were correctable, thus putting off an extended sabbatical for Hofman, who�s in his 16th year at the helm of the Skyhawks.
�In fact, he came in Monday. He found a doctor, and I guess it was a little old small 10-minute procedure within his ear, and whatever it was, they fixed it, and he�s hearing now and 100 percent,� Hunter said.
�We�re just delighted he�s back at full health and full speed.�
In his stead, the Skyhawks continued their upward trajectory. Associate head coach Bob Pietrack stepped in and helped FLC record two resounding home victories, the first two of his career as a head coach. The Skyhawks defeated New Mexico Highlands 81-60 on Friday before romping past Western New Mexico 86-47 on Saturday.
Hunter was very complimentary of Pietrack�s work in stepping in on short notice, while also lauding the contributions of FLC�s senior class in providing leadership in the absence of its head coach.
�I was very pleased,� Hunter said. �I thought Bob showed a lot of maturity and good judgment, and we were very pleased with the way he handled the team. And I was very pleased with the way the team responded.�
Hofman returns in time for a crucial weekend of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. The Skyhawks will head to Denver to take on Regis on Friday before facing No. 2 Metro State on Saturday.

Gout is an ancient disease. Despite significant advances in the understanding of its risk factors, etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment, millions of people with gout experience repeated attacks of acute arthritis and other complications. The incidence of gout is increasing, most likely reflecting increasing rates of obesity and other lifestyle factors, including diet. Comorbid conditions that often accompany gout, including chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus, present challenges for the management of gout. Using the case of Mr R, a 57-year-old man with a history of podagra, hyperuricemia, and mild renal insufficiency, the diagnosis and treatment of gout are discussed. For those with moderate to severe gout, urate-lowering treatment can eliminate acute attacks of arthritis and prevent complications. In the near future, it is likely that new risk factors for gout will be identified and new ways of preventing and managing this common disease will become available.

J.C. Penney shareholders told retailer will be in the wilderness for a while
J.C. Penney Co. shareholders voted in favor of executive pay proposals at its annual meeting, including what governance firm Institutional Shareholder Services called the "large exit package" granted to former CEO Myron "Mike" Ullman.
Penney reported Friday's annual meeting voting results in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing yesterday.
The compensation approvals weren't a surprise since board members and executive officers own 31.7 percent of the stock and another 6.33 percent is owned by Penney's profit sharing plan. Probably friendly institutions own another 16 percent of Penney's shares.
One shareholder asked about Ullman's transition services agreement, which lifted his 2011 compensation to $34.6 million and vested $46.4 million of stock awards. Ullman's tenure coincides with a five-year period when a $100 investment in Penney stock before 2007 is worth $58 today, ISS said.
After saying reporters wouldn't be allowed into the shareholder meeting, Penney allowed reporter Holly Haber in from fashion industry publication Women's Wear Daily.
Here are CEO Ron Johnson's responses to a couple shareholder questions:
Shareholder: "What did you learn from him (Ullman) that was worth $40-plus million?"
Johnson: "Mike did an extraordinary job of educating me on the company and introducing me to people around the world. We traveled together to Europe, to Asia, to New York multiple times. He walked me through exactly how this company works sitting through the various committee meetings and the process that we use. And I found that actually quite invaluable."
Shareholder: "Why was the quarterly dividend eliminated?"
Johnson: It was a "very difficult decision for shareholders," but he insisted it was the right move.
"We really believe we have a lot of ways to use our capital to provide extraordinary growth for this company. We're excited about seeing appreciation of the stock price, and you can hold me and my team accountable for that."
Johnson also said Penney will be "in the wilderness" for about a year as it reinvents its identity.
"We are in the middle of a very important and a very challenging year of transformation. It is not easy. It's been a really hard time for all of us here."
Haber said a "small audience" attended the meeting at Penney's Plano headquarters.

The Color Guard of the Army Drill Sergeant's School at Fort Jackson marches Friday in front of two busts that are forensic reconstructions of the heads and faces of two members of the black 55th Massachusetts Regiment that arrived at Folly Beach in 1863. The busts were created by a forensic artist using two skulls found in 1987 at a Civil War-era graveyard on Folly Island. A marker honoring the troops was dedicated Friday.

Police said Martin fought with officers and was hit with a Taser during his apprehension.

Sprint soars from last to first place in customer service poll
0. phoneArena 20 Oct 2008, 07:07 posted on
In a shocking move, Sprint moves from last place to first place in a customer service research study...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Midnight (unregistered)
so is this just how fast they answer a call? or how good overall the customer service is?
6. (unregistered)
It is good to see the sprint is improving their customer service. Even though I work for a competitor, its nice to see them at least trying. For a while, there, it seemed they didnt care that they were losing customers due to a lack-luster phone lineup, service area and customer service. At least they are improving on their weak areas.
19. vzwemp (unregistered)
suuuure.. the people that are left are more happy, because they either cancelled contracts on complaining customers, or they left and went to VZW. of course, this article is all about responce time, and it doesnt show anything about how much people actually like cust service, which working at VZW, we have to deal with all the time for porting purposes (sprint is the worst at porting). They are idiots in another country!
34. (unregistered)
If you're a Verizon employee,so this really doesn't concern you. The fact that you responded in a negative fashion means either one of two things: 1)You see Sprint as a legitimate threat to the big V and you feel the need to try to minimize any positive news, or 2)you're a tool. I'm leaning towards #2 here.
35. (unregistered)
The fact that you responded to this thread in that fashion means your: 1) a bigger tool than the VZW employees you mentioned, or 2) your just an @%% I'm leaning towards #2 here.
41. (unregistered)
Way to be original and look like the biggest tool of the three..the best part of #20 post is the people from the other country probaly have the same comment when they get off the phone with him..."I hate talking to idots from VZW!"

As a former verizon customer, I have had nothing but great things to say about the folks at the sprint store in Las Cruces, NM, that I have dealt with! They've been better to me than verizon ever was!
56. (unregistered)
Be carefull saying stuff like that...they have crusified people for less....lol
70. (unregistered)
you spelled crucified wrong....
74. V (unregistered)
Yes, I am confused on this as well. (Oh and by the way I am responding to #6 since the posts that followed thereafter seemed completely unrelated to the post and seems stereotypical of a high school locker room spat where adolescents self-indulge in boosting their own ego's, however vain that may be) The experiences I have had with Sprint customer care and telesales has been an atrocity. I don't think I have been treated worse by any company, much less a cell service provider. This statement must be concerning pickup time only. I recently upgraded my account with Sprint, 4 of my 5 lines and wanted the 5th canceled. I was quoted one price from telesales on each of the 4 different phones and was told I would receive a $95 dollar adjustment on my bill per line. Well my bill arrived and the phones were on average $30 more than what I had been quoted (after all rebates) and only a $50 adjustment was done per line. I called up customer care and spent around 2 hours on the phone with them. I spoke to the sales rep who answered my call, and was told that there was no notation on the account about the adjustments or the price of the phones. At this point is was starting to get frustrated, and most definitely displayed that (not in an inappropriate manner, but in the manner that was deserved). After, I'm assuming she determined that should couldn't help me further she told me to hold for a moment and hung up. She didn't put me on hold, she just hung up. Could have been a mistake, unlikely however. I called again and asked for the supervisor right away and went through my entire problem again. She was extremely unreasonable, and began to tell me that the highest adjustment they can perform was $75 so they never said that. After about forty-five minutes of talking to her, I asked to be transferred to her manage, who was the floor manager for the entire customer care section at that time. This is where it gets good. She not only swore at me (it was only once but that was enough), blocked my account from ever receiving further adjustments, she also called me a liar. Now even if I was lying, (I'm not, I am recounting the story the same as it happened) this is completely unacceptable. I have worked in customer service for many years and the one thing that has always been consistent with every company I have worked for is that you do everything in your power to ensure the customer is pleased, even if the customer IS doing it just to get free stuff. The way my case was handled was completely unprofessional and an extreme breach in character. If their floor manage behaved in such a way, I can only assume that most of the staff would respond similarly.

I believe this is based on pure statistics. Call Answer, Call Time, Number of Calls etc... You can answer calls faster when you don't have any subscribers and handle the call faster when there's less calls from less subscribers. This however isn't based on customer satisfaction or first call resolution or anything like that... so Verizon still rules the roost when it comes to wireless customer service.
7. (unregistered)
ummm no. Nice try though fanboy. The number of times called and time to handle a call numbers indicate higher customer satisfaction. It's directly related. Stop viewing the Wireless world through Verizon colored glasses.
8. (unregistered)
So the third largest carrier in the US has no subscribers to handle? Reality check, my friend.
10. (unregistered)
The surprising thing here is T-Mobile. Using your logic (which is a bit flawed), the fourth largest carrier should have no problems, yet they are only answering calls within 30 seconds 44 percent of the time.
11. (unregistered)
LOL...that is exactly what I was thinking. That and if his logic was correct them Sprint and T-Mobile would have lead this study every year but that is not the case...i wonder why? Get back to work and stop blogging on company time!
13. amused (unregistered)
wow you all really didn't read what he said. Sprint can answer the phone the fastest and have less first time calls doesn't mean they aren't calling back every ten mins cause their problem wasn't fixed and really is this based off a period of months. Is it that someone's first call was in August, then called back in Sept when there bill wasn't fixed. Are both labeled as first time calls cause they are two different months? And like he said this is just stats not who actually provided customer service. Hell I can answer my phone fast but then hang up on you giving you horrible customer service but according to this survey I would be champ!
15. (unregistered)
No we read excatly what he said "You can answer calls faster when you don't have any subscribers and handle the call faster when there's less calls from less subscribers." Now you are trying to back pedel and say they don't resolve them in one call and/or receive multipule calls regarding the same issue which would then increase the number of overall calls they receive making it an even better statictic that they can still answer 91% in 30 seconds or less. You both are just here becasue you now will not be able to sleep tonight since VZW is no number one in every wireless surey. Hold time is a huge determinng facter when it comes overall Customer Service satisfation. The longer you wait on hold the more frustrated you will be once the rep finally answers the call. I had Comcast for years and that was the main reason I hated calling them. You wasted 20 minutes of your time just waiting. Then I get a rep that does not want to be a work that day and I can either hang up and wait another 20 min or deal with the person who took my call.
17. (unregistered)
No, I read it. I just didn't agree with his warped point of view. If they weren't resolving the issues, wouldn't it stand to reason that the call volume would go way up when you add the new callers along with the folks calling back to resolve old issues? Higher call volume would equal slower response times. As far as "calling back every ten minutes", maybe it was you who didn't read the article: "Sprint has improved in regards to the number of times called, and how long it takes to handle a customer service call."
36. (unregistered)
Alright, so the stupid little dig at sprint was ill conceived cause everyone wants to read it so strictly. The foundation of my comment was that this is not a accurate measurement of satisfaction. Pure stats means nothing unless talking to customers. Plain and simple. If everyone wants to harp on one little sentence out of the whole comment then you are the idiots.
40. (unregistered)
Ok let me have sure I'm understanding you this time then. You walk into a bank lets say...and one line takes less than 30 seconds to get to a teller and the other line takes 10 minutes to get to a teller. You are telling me you would pick the line that takes 20 minutes? You would not be more satisfied with your trip to the bank had you waited 30 seconds verses 10 minutes? Here is the real question...if this artical read "Verizon soars to another first place in customer service poll"...then what whould your reponce be? I'll respect you a lot more if you're honest..
47. (unregistered)
If you honestly think speed is the be all end all of customer service then you are a retard. Your analogy can be thrown back at you that the teller servicing everyone in a speedy manner may be giving the incorrect amount of money and thus while she is fast the service is still shit.... But being a brain dead moron i guess you think speed equals customer service.
48. (unregistered)
wow...i'm glad all of you guys are nobel peace prize winners in logic and math...and remind me again how many of you guys are sprint customers again?....
51. losers! (unregistered)
I was just hanging out with all my hot girlfriends and I had to stop the party to respond to your lame *** geek comments. Yes, you geek! Now, you can just find out how much Sprint's customer service sucks FASTER. Wow! Hurry up and disapoint them.
57. (unregistered)
Wow...this guy really needs to lay off the Kool-Aid. Just to let you know your left and right hands are not considered girlfriends. If you stop "parting" to reply to a post then you are LAME and should really try to get a life out side being a professinal deutsch bag!
60. (unregistered)
@ #43. I don't care if I get someone in 30 seconds. If they can't help me properly then I get more frustrated. If I wait to long, I get more frustrated. The secret to customer service is not just in wait time. It's a delicate balance of wait time, handling of issues, empathy, and more. and as for your question of how would I react if it was VZW? Differently. And no, its not for biased reasons, its because VZW leads other key stats in customer service. Customer Satisfaction, First Call Resolution, and the (independently verified and established) most reliable network in America. Sprint has hemmorraged customers and thrown out others because they called into customer service to much. Now that those people are gone of course wait times will come down because apparently those people were so much of a bother they caused people to have to wait cause it worked. Look where they are now. They answer the phone faster than anyone else. Big deal. I've worked in customer service all my life. Managed a call center. I know wait time is important, but in the end its the service provided that seals the deal.
62. (unregistered)
From #43...and I could not agree with you more #68. My post were geared to the others that blow it off like it means obsolutly nothing. I also work in some what of a call center enviorment for the worlds largest cell phone distributer and in every carrier contract we currently handle there are clauses that state we must keep wait times under X amount of minutes and have less than X% of abandon calls. If those are not numbers are not met then the $hit hits the fan. Customer Satisfaction and Frist Call Resolution are also huge but Cusotmer Satisfaction can be the hardest to measure for the simple fact that not everyone will agree with polices that are in place. You could give great CS but if the person on the other end does not like or agree with you do to policys you must follow then they will not be satisfied but than also does not mean bad CS was provided. Frist call is much easier as it is a simple yes or no question "Was your issue resolved during your call". Which the artical stated "Additionally, the research shows that Sprint has improved in regards to the number of times called, and how long it takes to handle a customer service call." CS has been Sprint glaring weekness for some time and it is nice to see them finally addressing the problem and seeing results.
67. (unregistered)
Thank you. Finally I have a decent arguement with someone on a site like this that is civil and actually gets somewhere. But I'm glad you get my point as well as me getting yours. I used to be a Sprint Customer and don't care if they gave 25 days of free service a month, I ain't going back. I'm sick of always being accused of being a "fanboy" just because I lean towards VZW which has been my provider for a while now. Thank you for being mature and actually going back and forth with me instead of just throwing fanboy out, because fanboy I am not. If VZW is doing something stupid I'll say it and have said it in the past.
69. (unregistered)
There is a huge differnce in being a "fanboy" and being a loyal educated end-user. I can tell you fall into the educated end-user side. This is the main reason I even come to sites like this is to debate any thing and every thing in the wireless world but 95% of the time it is just a bunch of arguing and nonsence that goes no where. There are so many out there that see things one way and want to bash everyone that sees things differntly. I could care less who anyones service provider is, if it works for you great...if not there are plenty of options out there. I too will be the first to call out Sprint for stupid decisions and have do so on many occations. Well it was good chatting with you and hopefully other can do the same and we can actually have civil conversations here!

Regardless, it is nice to see Sprint at the top of the poll.

Sprint had done some good things for themselves lately. I'd just wish they improved coverage. I guess AT&T is getting smug.

My service isnt through Sprint but form what ive heard their customer service isnt that great, its good to see a positive change.
9. Kent (unregistered)
Now if they would only get rid of the foreign call centers that mess your account up every time you call in to fix something they messed up... Lost "grandfathered in" free text messaging due to a foreign call center...
12. stuntz (unregistered)
Alot of the time if you have problem during buisness hours you should goto a store and have them help. They hate it but its beter to talk to a acutal person. On other thoughts its good to see this Sprint Needs good plublicity to get their feet reset. Now if they could promote New phones with beter advertisment then they'd be going somewhere.
14. (unregistered)
Good job Dan!
16. (unregistered)
My advice is go to a REAL (corporate) Sprint store for account problems anyway. The third party stores seem to mess up stuff a lot and those customers have to call to get things fixed thinking that the store cannot help them. If you aren't sure if it is a REAL Sprint store you're in, ask them. They have to tell you if they are a third party store. I've been confused before because sometimes they wear the same uniforms even.
18. (unregistered)
Actually, in my opinion, you are better off finding a good knowledgeable rep and asking for them by name. Corp or third party. I have seen just as many idiots in an actual Sprint Store than at a dealer. Find someone you like dealing with and do all of your business with them.
20. (unregistered)
i agree if you find some one who actually knows what they are talking about and knows what they are doing they aren'y going to mess up your account. i have gone into many sprint stores and the people working them are morons and dont know what they are talking about so i found a store that did all the services in my area and they knew way more than the ones that only sold sprint. find a store that you like and do all your service through them instead of dealing with different people all the time, let them know you so they will spend more time trying to help you
23. (unregistered)
it really depends on whom you talking to. i have worked with sprint (third party store) for nearly 3 years and i bet ; i can answer and help u faster with every question without working for sprint (corporate). it also truly depends on who is training you. just because you talked to one person that didn't have answers doesn't mean everybody working there is stupid.

Pali-Research is actually a very important company that Sprint made up to get the media to change their views. The looked at the only improvement Sprint made and claimed them to be the best. Pali stands for "Pretend Artificial ludicrous information"!

Verizon Shouldn't be second. I have to fight with them when ever I do a cellphone contract for them at work. There voice guided menus to get to people are impossible. Too many wrong responces and it will hand up on you. And there tech support is rude to me and my customers! They once tryed to talk me out of a contract! They wanted me to tell me to let my customer to go to a corprate store instead of my store and pay $10 more for the phone, but would get that money back after a mail in rebate. We had it for free instantly!!!! Any body knows CDMA is horible and both sprint and verizon suck. I hope both of them go belly up!!!
37. (unregistered)
It's really simple. When you call into get help. Press "0" and it will take you to a rep. Wow that was hard! As for you being an indirect represenative of the company you shouldn't be bashing VZW. Not a suprise you don't like corporate... most of the corporate stores can't stand indirects. They misinform customers by trying to provide technical support when they don't know enough to do so. They try to do things that skirt the boundaries to get more commission. Regardless of the customer, indirects are all about the money. At directs, they spend 16 hours in a sales class to teach them how to create great situations not just for the company but also for the customer. As for CDMA being horrible? CDMA has a higher capactiy... it's more secure... its handoff structure means fewer dropped calls... so how do you get CDMA is horrible?
54. Why? (unregistered)
Number one it doesn't work oversea. Two the band with is smaller. Three you complie both vocie and data on the same network which means more complications and slower speeds. Four dropped calls do happen more and more static happens the further you get from the towers. Five less callers aloud per cell site you notice this when bad events happen. Six cost more to run CDMA and the comes out of customers pockets not the CEO's. Plus don't you still get charged from roaming out of network.,LAME! CU.L8R CDM.Hey?
59. Do you know what you're talkin (unregistered)
I'll grant that your first two are actual credible arguments. Even part of the third. But slower speeds? Have you actually even looked at the different speeds? AT&T is BOASTING that their new aircard is capable of over 700kbps. The slowest on either Verizon or Sprint is I believe 1.5 mbps. Let's see...about twice as fast. Flawed logic there. Dropped calls do NOT happen more from someone who has had both. This is pure fact, as CDMA towers allow more connections per tower than the GSM towers that AT&T or T-Mobile use. And finally, name one CDMA cellphone company that charges for roaming? Sprint? Nope. Verizon? Nope. Alltel? Nope. They all have roaming agreements with each other. You might want to actually know the information before you start ranting out of your ***.
71. VZW Gangster (unregistered)
16 hour sales class and you still #$%& up the sale. the customers leave a direct store with features they didn't want in the first place. With a phone they don't need half the time and no personal connection between the sales person and the customer due to a DMV mentality by the reps and environment in the store.
25. SprintDomination (unregistered)
Take that VZW fanboys! Been trying to tell you that Sprint rules the wireless world and VZW is just a pretender. The only thing you guys could point to was lousy customer service...oooohhhh. Looks like you lost the last straw you were grasping. Better phones, better plans, better coverage, faster data, better customer service. Verizon takes the back seat to Sprint.
27. vzw fanboy (unregistered)
haha lol. im glad sprint came out on tiop because that shows verizon doesnt rule at everything. i dont base verizon on how they handle customer service i have them based on their coverage.
26. (unregistered)
I call bullshit on this one. Plus, look at the source. It's from a Sprint fanboy site. They'd do anything to bring good rep to their horrible company.
28. (unregistered)
wow, at&t is dropping the ball now, their reputation is getting worse! Everybody knows their network quality is worse than Verizon's but now they're last on customer service. All they have now is BRAND NAME.
29. (unregistered)
it is strictly statistics, i work for a sprint retail store and i have to deal with sprint customer service all the time, and they never fail to piss me off, they constantly trasnfer me. they are rude, and they have been known to straight up, hang up on me.
30. (unregistered)
it's amazing that Sprint finally starts to get good blogs and everyone is going crazy!!! good luck for Sprint. they have been taking care of me for over seven years!
31. (unregistered)
This is great news, I've been with sprint since '04 and I've never had a problem with their customer service, or any part of their services. Get great signal here in Los Angeles.
32. (unregistered)
This survey does not rate customer service at all, it just rates how fast the phone is picked up. For all we know all those 91% could be on the phone for hours. When Sprint gets a JD Power and Associates award maybe I'll be inclined to believe their customer service has improved.
63. (unregistered)
Well since the artical says..."Additionally, the research shows that Sprint has improved in regards to the number of times called, and how long it takes to handle a customer service call." I think it is safe to say they were not on the phone for hours.
33. (unregistered)
I love the source of this article. "Sprint Connection" Yeah it's bs
38. (unregistered)
Just because they answer the phone in less than 30 seconds it doesn't mean that they are providing good customer service.
39. (unregistered)
Sprint customer service is piss poor. After dealing with 20+ phone calls to get them to let me cancel my line WHILE I WAS OVER 4 MONTHS OUT OF CONTRACT they finally did. AT&T's customer service has been a godsend the 3 times I've called them. Quick response from a knowledgeable agent. I felt like Sprint CSRs had the IQ of a rat.

It was the ghosts that troubled Raffaele Sollecito the most. During the four dark years he was locked away in an Italian prison cell for a murder that made headlines around the world, he claims to have been haunted by the ghost of his then-girlfriend Amanda Knox.
"I dated Amanda for nine days, then I spent four years living with her ghost, with that monster created by the media," he tells PEOPLE. "It became a living nightmare."
One year after an Italian court freed Sollecito, 28, and Knox from prison after being wrongfully convicted of the 2007 murder of Knox's British housemate, he's struggling to adjust to freedom.
"My life as I knew it is gone, disappeared," says Sollecito, whose new memoir Honor Bound, is exclusively excerpted in this week's issue of PEOPLE. "It's taking time to get used to normal life again."
Part of that normal life involves figuring out how to pay off the nearly
$1 million in legal fees he racked up. The computer science grad student is also grappling with the panic attacks brought on by the trauma of his incarceration.
"When you undergo something like this it changes your life completely," he says. "It's hard to have long-term plans anymore. I take things day by
day now because that way it makes me feel like I have more control."
Knox and Sollecito met in Perugia, Italy, where they both were attending the local university. Nine days after they began dating, they were arrested for the murder of Knox's housemate, Meredith Kercher, whose bloodied body was discovered by police on Nov. 2, 2007, wrapped in a duvet in her bedroom. Rudy Guede, an African immigrant, known to police as a small-time burglar and a drug dealer, was convicted of Kercher's murder in Nov. 2008.
Although no longer dating, these days Sollecito and Knox stay in touch through email and Skype. "We're like brother and sister now," says Sollecito. "We shared a really dark experience and now we're moving on with our lives."

LAKE TAHOE — I often times here my clients say "I don't know what my style is or what I like — you need to tell me". When this happens, I usually try to help them by asking a few key questions. My clients have also found it helpful to practice a few simple visual exercises that I also recommend to help them identify what they like. And once you know why you like and why, it becomes easier to develop and enhance your own decorating style — confidently!
Discovering your style involves developing an acute awareness of your surroundings and the ability to judge your reactions. Take a minute right now, in the room where you are reading this article. Look around the room — carefully — and write down 5 reasons why you like the room. Be very specific. For example, you like the window — why? Is it because of the symmetry? Does it admit a lot of natural light into the room? Do you like seeing the colors in the window's view?
Now, take a few more minutes, and look again. Ask yourself what features you don't like. For example, a painting on the wall. What is it about the painting that you don't like? The color? Is it hung too low? Too high?
By becoming conscious of your reactions to what you see, you'll begin developing your own sense of likes, and just as important, dislikes.
Every time you enter a room, make it a habit to ask yourself whether you like it or not. An office, a restaurant or another home — it makes no difference! What characteristics appeal to you? Which ones make you feel uncomfortable? Do any of the rooms approach your ideas of what you would want your home to look like? Assess the mood that is evoked in each room, and the ingredients that vie it a particular ambiance. Does it make you feel warm, cool, cozy, serene, etc.?
Decorating confidence is something you develop, many times with the assistance of your own personal professional decorator, whose knowledge and resources are indispensable. Your home should be decorated with a sure awareness of how you respond to color, texture, form, line and space.

The Benefits of Massage
The "benefits" of massage usually make up quite a long list. However, until recently, there hasn't been many studies conducted about massage. We now have evidence* that massage may decrease pain and inflammation and is an effective treatment for low back pain. We also know massage helps muscles work harder. The list of benefits proved by studies continues to grow every day.
If you look beyond the scientific studies, anecdotal evidence shows us that massage helps strengthen the immune system by stimulating lymph flow, eases depression and anxiety, increases joint flexibility and improves range of motion, promotes tissue regeneration by reducing scar tissue and stretch marks, helps reduce post-surgery swelling and adhesions, relaxes injured and overused muscles, strengthens weakened muscles, releases endorphins (the body's natural painkiller), helps ease migraine pain, improves quality of sleep and so much more!

Dear Parents,
I am pleased to welcome your family to the Hamilton family! As the parent of a Hamilton student, you will be an important part of this community, and we in the Dean of Students office hope to forge the best possible partnership with you in order to make the next four years a success for your child. Sending a son or daughter off to college for the first time is an important milestone and often bittersweet. We want to work with you to ease that transition.
The webpage for new parents and families contains information we hope you find helpful as you plan for the upcoming year.
The Family Information Contact Form, which is located on the last page of the booklet mailed to new parents in June, can be completed online. In addition to confirming your general contact information, we ask that you provide us with your preferred email address, as this is the means through which we will communicate important information.
For both parents and students, the college years are wonderful when all is going well. As the parent of a college student myself, I know nothing feels better than hearing my child say, "I love it here." But these four years will be a time of challenge and personal growth, and sometimes there will be bumps in the road. It's good to remember that while these bumps can be jarring, they often teach some of life's important lessons.
In the first year, students may be challenged by higher academic expectations, the frustration of roommate conflicts and even occasional loneliness. Those who draw on their own resources to find solutions will be rewarded with increased self-confidence and the tenacity to handle future problems. Likewise, parents who respect this process will be rewarded with the knowledge that they have raised independent thinkers who can cope and succeed in a new environment.
When challenges arise, students will naturally turn to their parents for guidance. When this happens, you have an opportunity to point your child toward the appropriate campus resource or to talk about the conversations the student might want to have with a professor, roommate or coach. The well-timed arrival of a package of homemade cookies — large enough to share — can also work wonders. You might remind your student of a time when he or she succeeded under challenging circumstances and express your confidence in his or her ability to do so again and again.
As a parent, I know how strong the temptation is to fix the problem myself. Like you, I am learning to resist that temptation. On occasion, I have had to remind myself that, though the going may be occasionally rough, success and competence are achieved through my child's hard work — not mine.
Below are some typical situations we see here in the Dean of Students office, with suggested ways in which you and your student can work through them successfully.
There may be a point at which you feel the need to speak with someone at the College [important contacts] about a challenge your student is facing. This letter is not intended to discourage you from placing that call. No one knows your child better than you do, and you should trust your instincts about when to seek advice and assistance. Please understand, however, that our conversation may focus on the ways you can help your student to resolve the issue, rather than on what we will do to resolve it for him or her. We don't want to deprive any student of a valuable learning experience. If you are ever unsure about whether or not to call someone at the College, please do pick up the phone and we'll talk it through.
In closing, my colleagues and I in the Division of Student Life look forward to working in partnership with you with the goal of helping your student toward greater maturity and independence. Hamilton is grateful for the faith that you have placed in your child and in this institution. Together, we can make these next four years truly transformative.
Warm regards,
Nancy R. Thompson
Dean of Students

For Gail Hughes, Dorchester District Two is home.
Hughes, chairwoman for DD2s school board, was a student of the district growing up. She is a Summerville High School graduate and both of her children have also gone through the district.
I have always been involved in Dorchester District Two because this was my life, she said. I grew up just a few miles down the road from Summerville High School. My mother went through DD2 schools, and all my brothers and sisters. This is home.
And Ive always had an interest in working with children, she added. My interest is a way to give back.
That interest has spurred eight years of Hughes serving on the school board. She has been chairwoman for two years and is up for re-election in this years school board election.
Hughes believes in the past eight years she has brought a business owner/parent perspective to the district, and has contributed to the board being able to look at things outside the box and consider all aspects when addressing issues.
I came in here with that mindset basically that I wanted to be a voice for the business people and the parents and the children, she said. I think because of me not having a background in education, I am able to see a broader picture.
Since joining the board, Hughes said, board members have succeeded in building relationships with government entities, such as the legislative delegation and Summerville Town Council, creating the colony needed to raise a child.
At the time when she became chairwoman Hughes was serving on the facilities committee and was involved in some of the construction projects, and the district was about to enter the building project with the three new elementary schools. She said her knowledge of the construction process helped earn her the position as DD2s chairwoman.
Hughes hopes to still be on the board and to see those construction projects successfully wrap up.
Theres lots of things were still working on and that is my main reason for wanting to get reelected it, she said. Theres the construction projects we have going on, theres other things were working on as far as general procedural type things that Id like to see through. Weve already implemented a lot of things that Id hope to see get accomplished.
Right now she is using the school board election as an opportunity to get out and meet new people and learn other peoples concerns, wants and needs. Hughes said DD2 strives to provide community outreach opportunities in order to have face time with the public.
We learn a lot during election time, she said. It can be a fun time, it just depends on how you approach it.
Hughes would like to work on improving graduation rates, and help make DD2 the very best district possible.
I think were well on our way, but theres still some work to be done, she said. If you have worked on these things for four to five years, you just want to be there to the end you just want to see them completed.
Hughes said there are a lot of safety issues that are involved in schools that DD2 is trying to revamp, something they have been working for the last several years.
Weve done everything possible to make sure our students are safe when theyre in school, she said. Our children are our most precious commodities in this community and we have got to do everything possible to make sure theyre safe.
Hughes is mother to 28-year-old Amber and 18-year-old Hunter.
She has been with her boyfriend, Dwayne Polk, for five years.
Hughes finds serving on the board to be very rewarding, and is happy for her accomplishments and the districts accomplishments.
If youve made a difference in one childs life, youve made it all worthwhile, she said. That is one of the main reasons why your love of children is so important. If you have to have that love and that want to make a difference.
At this point Hughes is very hopeful that she will be reelected, but said the decision is ultimately up to the voters.
I feel I still have what it takes to be a good board member and a good leader, she said.

My First Hackathon: iOSDevCamp 2012
While I didn't have a clear output to show for my efforts, I made the complexity of the task apparent. I got to know the people working on projects in the same room. Most importantly, I became inspired to learn more about CSS3.
By Veronica Ray (Senior, Duke University)
I'm a rising senior at Duke majoring in Public Policy.
I took my first Computer Science class this past spring and did web development over the summer for Y Combinator startup Jellyfish Art in San Francisco. This fall I'm taking a class on iOS development and another on web application development. I was hired as a part time web developer for Jellyfish Art for the upcoming school year. I will return to the Bay Area when I graduate.
My first hackathon was iOSDevCamp at PayPal/Ebay headquarters on July 20-22, 2012.

The home water treatment systems that consume water in the treatment process are reverse osmosis systems and water softeners. Point-of-use water filters that attach to the kitchen sink faucet do not consume any water.
The amount of water consumed by a home water treatment system will vary depending upon the type and size of the system. The manufacturer should be able to provide water consumption values.
In a recent study of residential water use conducted for the American Water Works Association Research Foundation, 8% of the study homes were equipped with a home water treatment system that had some consumptive use. There was tremendous variability in these treatment systems. Consumptive use ranged between 1.0 and 74.0 gallons of water per day. The average water use for homes equipped with a home water treatment system was 15.8 gallons per household per day (Mayer, et. al. 1999). This provides a range of water use that might be expected from a home water treatment system.

the iPad and Macs may be pretty close in terms
of temperature (hot),
in terms of popularity, the iPad is reportedly substantially
surpassing its more traditional companion. Hot off reports that
the iPad Wi-Fi version hit sales in excess
of 1 million units in under a month, analyst Mike Abramsky
of RBC Capital
Markets bumped his estimate of 2010 iPad sales from 5
million to 8 million.The bullish new estimate comes amid
Abramsky's claim that the iPad is selling about 200,000 iPads a week,
versus 110,000 Macs a week. Based on first quarter 2010 Apple
sales figures, the iPhone may still hold an edge over the iPad, as it
is estimated to be selling around 245,000 units a week.The
iPad may be cannibalizing iPod or Mac sales to a small extent, but
according to recent surveys most buyers look at it as fulfilling a
different personal electronics role. According to a recent
survey by UBS analyst Maynard Um, most iPad buyers don't
look at the device as a replacement for their Mac or PC.Some
analysts are predicting a "halo effect", as with Apple's
past introductions of new products like the iPod or iPhone. The
idea here is that increased iPad sales will actually fuel sales of
other Apple products like Macs or iPhones by creating new
fans.Apple is coming off a couple of strong quarters, in
which posted massive
profits. Its 3G enabled iPad launched in the U.S. in late
April and will launch internationally at the end of this month.
The international launch of the 3G version was delayed because of
shortages in the U.S.If there's one cloud in Apple's sunny
sky, it's the brewing storm of tablets from the likes of Google
(using Android
or Chrome OS) and HP (using
webOS from the recently
acquired Palm). With Android having just passed Apple
in smart phone sales, Apple has to be more than a little worried
about how its going to be able to maintain its early lead, this time
quote: They're riding on the backs of their mindless drones the world over.
quote: I'm just waiting for the whole tablet fad to pass this time as well. There's still no 'killer app' to push device which makes it less than a smartphone, portable media player or notebook in all categories.
quote: Furthermore, the Ipad is NOT going to sell that many

A mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school on Friday has reminded employees at a Minden sail factory how small and fragile the world really is.
"As the events unfolded on Friday, I, like everyone else, was glued to the TV," said Jeff Holden, master scheduler of North Sails. "On Saturday, we received an email from the corporate office informing us that in fact (co-worker Brian Engel's) daughter had been killed ... I grieved with everyone else, and then I figured out what I could do to make a difference."
According to Holden, Brian Engel is the manager of cloth and materials at North Sails' manufacturing facility in Milford, Conn. His six-year-old daughter, Olivia Rose Engel, was among 20 small children killed when a deranged gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire in a classroom of first-graders.
"I personally know Brian," Holden said Monday morning. "As master scheduler, I work with him on a weekly basis on materials and other things."
Discovering his personal connection to a tragedy that has shocked the nation, Holden said he was overwhelmed with a desire to help.
"Everyone has that mindset - What can I do to help?" he said. "It's especially true in a tight-knit community like Carson Valley. People can make a difference, and at least help this one family. I want to give people that outlet."
On Thursday, North Sails will be accepting monetary donations, cash and checks, between noon and 6 p.m. in the front lobby of their Minden facility, 2379 Heybourne Road.
Additionally, Coffee on Main will be accepting monetary donations throughout the week at both locations: 1572 Highway 395, Minden; and 795 Tillman Lane, Gardnerville Ranchos.
"Rest assured, this money will go directly to one of the families," Holden said. "You can give $5 or $10, whatever you feel like you want to give. We'll take all the money and send it to Brian."
Holden said the family needs it.
"They have another child who was in the school," he said. "A little boy who will grow up the rest of his life wondering what happened to his sister. He's going to need therapy and counseling and everything else."
Holden believes the fundraiser will be cathartic for anyone frustrated by such senseless violence.
"This is an outlet," he said. "The family needs it. They're going to need the help for a long time."
A web page has been set up in Olivia's memory at www.facebook.com/FriendsofTheEngelFamilyFund.
