Verizon to drop return policy to 14 days on Jan 16?

Rumors have been circulating that Verizon Wireless, the nation's largest carrier, is planning to change its return policy to 14 days from the current 30 day period, and now more sources agree that the change will take place on January 16th, 2011…

Why is Verizon constantly cutting options for customers? I just hope Verizon doesn't screw around with the iPhone and change stuff like they did with android.

its true we already got the training on it. they do it because they can and it saves money by not having to sell those phones as used. plus if you do your damn research b4 u come into a store maybe then you wont need to exchange it. plus u still get a 1 year warranty if its defective after 14 days anyway. yes it still sucks but its not end of the world screwing customer drama u seem to feel it is. id b more pissed about the annual upgrades and NE2

yeah i wouldnt recommend having me work on anyones account b4 my coffee. never mind try to post something that resembles english...

one thing that i don't understand from carriers is that they offer 2 year contract and provide only 1 year warranty on defects. If they are promoting 2 year contract, they should give 2 year manufacturer's warranty instead of selling it. (i know phone insurance also covers lost and stolen but anyway)

Well, maybe if VZW's specs weren't so 'off' we wouldn't have to exchange. Vortex posts epic battery life and it's completly false. U guys were right about my Env2. Last phone that I bought and didn't 'need' to return.
However, VZW customer reviews do help, but most of them are just hilarious. I.E. - Had the phone for an hour...love it, greatest phone ever. What you don't like, - nothing...
how the hell can u find anything negative in 1 hr. LOL.
42. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
Sure the specs will be off!

I'm a Verizon customer and have received NO notification of this policy change. If this "rumor" were true why would they not notify their customers.
20. Ayon (unregistered)
I almost hate to respond to this but as a current customer NO you will not receive some nifty notification in the mail. This does NOT effect your contract, plan, current phones, anything really. Your notification will be the next time you go into the store and buy a phone.
41. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
When they changed the every-2 from $100-$50 and then from $50 to $30...I never heard anything from VZW. I found out the hard way...walked in to a store and some 4-eyed scab tell me, 'oh, you didn't hear about this' Like no you effin nub, I didn't. Thanks!
3. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
Cause they don't care about their customers. You idiots are still going to buy the iPhone and any other phone that they put out. Quit acting like it hurts, when you totally ignore it after purchasing a phone.
35. maccmill (Posts: 67; Member since: 29 Oct 2010)
yeah, its not like verizon has a knife to your throat. If you don't like it, band together the 80 million customers they have and disconnect your service.... Then they'll be forced to offer better customer incentives.... but that would never happen, since we have no sense of unity in this country anymore... just like we've allowed the government to tap our phones and strip us of our constitutional rights.
Believe me, there are more important things on your plate in this country than Verizon telling you that you only have 2 weeks to return a phone.
4. Doakie (Posts: 2005; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Suspicious how all these policy changes are coming right when the iphone comes to Verizon. Makes you wonder if this is due to paranoia of large scale iphone returns, or large scale Christmas returns of android handsets coming back to exchange for iphones. I was also suspecting that they raised their new handset every year to every two at the request if apple to work in the new iphone every year sales model. Maybe they were doing it to slow the exodus of droid one owners moving to the iphone. Dunno but something smells fishy.
37. noneatthistime (unregistered)
Actually the reason for the change has a lot to do with Apple. They always have to run the show, and now since Verizon's carrying their products, they can't really make decesions without going to Steve Jobs first. Thats the main reason why Verizon rejected the I phone the first time they were asked to carry it. Apple is apparently the MAN and they want to rule this world!

I worked at vzw until early 2009. And I must say vzw used to be very loose with customers and unfortunatly customers started taking more and more advantage of VZW. I was a cs rep and while they have alot of excellent customers they also have customers that they feel are owed the world and when verizon gives an inch they take a foot. Also it really doesn't matter cause if you get the good rep who cares about the customer who has a good supervisor exceptons are made anyway on a case by case basis. And finally you must remember that verizon is a composition of 5 baby carriers from the 90's. It takes along time to come up with national policies. and they are finally taking shape. Now that we are in a recession companies are now making sure that they are almost bullet proof financially. Although policies seem less friendly I think its good buisness

That's about the best way to summarize the situation. Fact is, many third party resellers have a 14 day return period, so this is not unheard of. Now, perhaps I am the odd bird out, but I tend to research my purchases, so I will know with a few days if the product I purchased will work for me, and in that 30 days seems to be overkill and will likely only result in those phones being scratched and dinged more than they would if returned in less than 14 days. Now, returned phones are NEVER resold to customers, as new, at a corporate store, however they ARE sold to Assurion and/or resold by the corporate Customer Service call center as certified like new devices.
Wall o'text, sorry.

And don't forget,,NOOOOO insurance on an i phone. EVER. mine was stolen an apple charged me 600 to replace it
10. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
Sounds like you still work there. :p I say just go to BestBuy Mobile. For all of your cellphone needs. They still have their 30 MBG and now have a buy back system their comming out with. O' and dont forget instant rebates. Yea baby! I'm sorry, but that is such a huge sales gimmick that I'm totaly agaist and charging you sales tax on the retail amount when you get a phone for half the cost. Verizon should be paying for that cause we're signing a contract. :(
14. Justworkhere (unregistered)
Be that as it may, there will always be an advantage to buying the device from a corporate location rather than dealing with an independent (this word is very important) third party reseller such as Best Buy. Third party resellers have very little corporate Verizon Wireless oversight, and because of this there have been many times that people have been, either purposefully, or accidently given wrong information on their accounts due to the reseller not having the same resources we have. Trust me when I say, after dealing with an inumerable amount of shady transaction from resellers, I as a consumer, would rather deal with the cor[porate source due to the bad taste left in my mouth.
My point still stands that 14 days is more than enough time for an educated consumer to realize that his purchase is appropriate for his/her needs.
16. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
@ Justworkhere It's funny you mention of the things to go to a "Corperate Verizon Store, but these are the reasons that made me start going to a Authorized Retailer. Another important thing you forgot to mention (probably purposely) is rebates. I know don't cringe too much. :) So anyways, I do beleive that some Verizon Corperate stores do have the correct info, but not enough for me to visit unfortunately. I think I just travel to much. O' well.
21. justworkhere (unregistered)
Well, can't say I disagree with you in regards to rebates; I dislike them as much as you do. I understand why rebates are issued, but it doesn't mean I, as a consumer, have to like them. As far as the spelling issue, I mistyped on my cheap keyboard, attack the message not the grammar, although my spelling and grammar is pretty much better than most of what is here, although that is neither here nor there.
If you don't like rebates than purchase online. If you want a better price than, please, utilize the benefits of a capitalistic society and vote with your dollars. However, if that independent reseller bites you, than take responsibility for your actions and deal with your situation through them. Do me a favor and do not come to me expecting for me to make right what they screwed up, and certainly don't get bent out of shape if i tell you that my policy is to charge you twenty dollars to transfer your contact info from your old device to new; that is a service we provide without cost to those that give us thier patronage.
Thank you.
23. ReaverSpark (unregistered)
I'm sorry. But you're wrong. Simple. If you're THAT lazy that you'd rather drive to an authorized retailer to not mail in a rebate, why don't you just not buy a phone. It's people like you that make me sick.
Stop being lazy and actually WORK. Oh, and don't complain when your order gets screwed up at the reseller, then try to go to a corporate store to fix YOUR mistakes. I'd send you packing with the biggest smile on my face. Have some loyalty.
24. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
Sorry ReaverSpark, it's not about being lazy. Don't be judgmental. It's about the idea and money cost. With this economy you would think companies (Verizon) would try and give a helping hand with lower, if not eliminating the cost of rebates. O' but I forget. Verizon is a Republican owned business. So much for that reasoning piece.
26. idroid (unregistered)
@jogutier, it's a business not a charity. Go to the redcross if you're looking for handouts bro!
27. justworkhere (unregistered)
Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Whig, or otherwise, it makes no difference. As previously mentioned Verizon Wireless is a business, not a charity. The fact that they are profitable means that they create wealth for not only themselves, but for others as they create jobs, which we than use to pay bill, buy goods, pay taxes (Liberals love that!), and generally do our part keeping this economy running.
Profits promote investment and spurs consumption, which if you had even a rudimentary knowledge of economics would understand is the reason that you (I assume you are a productive member of society) have a job.
Again, if you don't like it, vote with your wallet and go elsewhere. If Verizon wireless promotes practices that the consumers do not like than they will take their money elsewhere, possibly resulting in Big Red promoting different practices.
it isn't rocket science folks, it's Econ101.

17. XxVerbalxX (unregistered)
i've run into that b4 w/tmobile at target. even though its a 30 day return from the store isnt that seperate from the companys 14 day trial? pretty sure ur money was refunded for the device but ur still porked by the contract. then again u'd figure best buy would have more pull anyway...
33. ABCD (unregistered)
That is exactly why they end up doing things like this. For example when the Early Termination Fee on smart phone was raised to $350 from $175. It was because customers would do the Buy one Get one Deals and then cancel service on at least one line and sell the extra phone on ebay or something for a profit. They lost a lot of money to scamming the system like that. Anyone who is actually trying to learn their new phone will know if it's right for them within a few days let alone 14 or 30. And the 1 year warrantee protects customers from the occasional Lemon. It is good policy and customer service is always there to help out.
8. JohnBFTL (unregistered)
It's not that big of a deal. T-Mobile has had a 14 day return policy for years. And if you live in a state like California, it doesn't mean dick anyway. California's 30-day policy for wireless would supersede this policy.
12. jogutier (Posts: 324; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
That's true. Doesn't California have a 30 day policy for something like this, but some company get away with picking with policies to honor cause their a national company like Verizon.
13. JohnBFTL (unregistered)
They actually don't get away with that. I sell wireless. We have T-Mobile, At&t and Verizon. T-Mobile has to follow California's 30 day policy even though they are a national carrier. All companies have to follow any state laws that apply to the state they conduct business in.
19. Ayon (unregistered)
Okay, hopefully this can help shed some light on all of this because people seem to be going to extremes on each end.
The policy change is for a couple of reasons. 1. Lets all be honest with ourselves, people take advantage of policies. Its a fact of life people can be dishonest. Remember when Verizon had the policy where if you ported your number out before 30 days you wouldnt be charged ANYTHING? Well we had a ton of people jumping on and off for a free month of cell service and that went by the wayside. Its the whole a few ruin it for the many.
2. Cell phones really are in a league of their own compared to other electronics. Most electronics can be returned within 30 days IF you havent opened the box. TVs, Games, Movies, etc. If you open the box the most they can do is exchange it for the same thing if it doesnt work. Cell phone companies really dont have that luxury. You have to use the equipment in order to figure out if you like it and it works. So from a customer standpoint they have a lot less restrictions to worry about.
3. and probably most important. 30 days is a long time. That is a very long time to damage your phone, forget how close it is to the deadline, and overall cause more hassle for you. If a customer damages a phone they have to pay for it. No customer likes that and trust me reps hate having to tell the customer they need to pay and then stand by it. This should also help stop people from coming in on day 33 or 35 saying "well I was just busy and I didnt even start using the phone till a week ago so I didnt know I wouldnt like it!" As idiotic as that sounds....it happens all the time.
Now instead of looking at all the bad about this lets look at some of the pros? If your phone doesnt work at your house, work, wherever you go you should know within 2 days max right? If it doesnt work take it back, you havent had enough time to damage the phone and good news, you only have to pay for 2 days worth of service! Not terrible for something that didnt work.
If you dont know if you're going to like this particular phone or not okay you got 2 weeks, play with it, put it through the paces, if its not cutting it by the end of week 1 go take it back and get yourself something else.
All in all it may seem like a bad thing, and maybe it is to some people who rely on that longer return policy because maybe they live out in the boonies or cant make it to the store regularly, that does happen. But this should help streamline the process as well as help get rid of less headaches for the customers and the reps. The less restocking fees the better in my opinion and this will lessen the chance for that to happen.
28. FlipNC (Posts: 3; Member since: 13 Jan 2011)
While I agree with your basic reasoning for a majority of cell phone users, I for one will miss the 30-day policy. I spend some time each month on the road and need time to evaluate coverage in fringe areas that I don't go to on a weekly basis. I just returned a phone after 3 weeks having finally given it a thorough evaluation. While reception in well-covered areas was good, fringe area reception was much worse than my old phone. Folks who travel in these areas (and those who live there like you mentioned) should not be overlooked by Verizon.
30. Ayon (unregistered)
I agree with you completely. There are certain cases where 14 days will just not be enough, hell there were cases where 30 were not enough. However, like with most policies if you communicate with Verizon and have legitimate reasoning a lot of the times rules can be bent. Just inform them. Dont come in 3 weeks later and demand something be done and its the first time they have heard of it. Any company takes consideration of policies on a case by case basis.

when a person comments on here saying they work for verizon and they have done the training and this new policy change will be in effect as of the 16th.... its BS! i work for verizon and there is no training.... nothing in the vzlearn site and nothing in the emails. I dont know for sure if this is happening or not but i wouldnt put money on it. so dont get your pantys in a bunch... even with the change verizon will remain to be the nations best wireless carrier... and now with the Iphone and the LTE smartphones coming there is just another reason to add on to my previous statement
34. ABCD (unregistered)
2 trainings and a webinar bud... it's going down
31. JohnBFTL (unregistered)
It's not BS. I work at Costco for the kiosk and we just got an e-mail this morning about it. They are also doing away with Annual Upgrades and New Every Two. I called my Verizon Rep to clarify it, and it launches on Sunday the 16th. Any customer that activates before the 16th still is entitled to the annual upgrade or new every two if their plan qualifies for it, but from there on out it will not be available. I still don't know how they are getting around California's 30-day law but from what I've been told it will be 14 days even in California.
32. Alianza (unregistered)
Its true about the exchange and return policy change. VZW employees had been notified and taken the training. Let me ask to those who complain....why would you need 30 days to try a phone? its just a phone!!!!!!!!!!....and where else do you get 30 days to try something? can you buy a car or a house and try for 30 days? c'mon lets be realistic and get the facts on the table. There is not need to get 30 days to try a phone, you know well enough within 14 days if the phone purchased will work for you or not. Lets be real people and stop crying....and this change will be notified to customers when upgrade or buy a phone on jan 16th. Any purchases before that date still on the 30 days policy.
38. hornetmx (Posts: 71; Member since: 12 Mar 2010)
I dont think its that complicated: 4G phones are coming up and im pretty sure people dont want to fork $300- $500 per device, so this is one way to minimize losses (incurred by phone returns) and maximize profits. We arent talking Moto StarTACs here.
39. Zorin (Posts: 152; Member since: 26 Jul 2010)
Man they just keep sending their business to places like best buy...from the return policy (30 days at BB) to the buy-back program. Oh, and if you are part of Best Buy rewards program...u get that too.
Best Buy give. Verizon takes. Nuff said.
43. Christopher (unregistered)
Verizon sucks!, They sell the most crappy phones. Went with T-Mobile and all is great now and so much cheaper. Who care's who sells the crappy iphone its just another high cost gadget on a conceited network who does not care about its customers. Its all about how big they can become and how much money they make.

Allen confirms McGloin supplants Flynn as Raiders' No. 2 QB
Allen: Pryor will start, McGloin supplants Flynn as No. 2 QB
Rookie Matt McGloin completed 20-of-35 passes for 279 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in preseason action. (AP)
ALAMEDA – Matt Flynn is now the NFL's most expensive emergency quarterback. The Raiders demoted the $6.5 million backup quarterback to the third string following an awful performance in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Washington Redskins.
[RECAP: Redskins 24, Raiders 14]
That became evident when undrafted rookie Matt McGloin took reps reserved for the No. 2 quarterback during open portions of Wednesday's practice. Raiders coach Dennis Allen announced the new pecking order later that day.
"We're going to take a look at Matt McGloin," Allen said. "It's (decision made) for a combination of reasons, but I want to take a look at him and see what he can do as a backup quarterback."
This isn't a temporary switch.
[RELATED: Allen: Pryor to start on Sunday]
Unless something catastrophic occurs, Flynn won't play another down in silver and black. He has no guaranteed money coming in 2014, meaning he's an easy cut at season's end.
That's a dramatic fall for a 28-year old entering this season as the presumptive starting quarterback. Flynn lost the top spot to Terrelle Pryor in the preseason and the No. 2 spot against the Redskins, a move that admits trading next year's fifth-round pick for him this offseason was a colossal mistake.
"Listen, it is what it is," Allen said. "It hasn't worked out like we anticipated, and we've got to make decisions and we've got to move forward."
Flynn's downfall has been as surprising as McGloin's ascent. The undrafted rookie out of Penn State was a camp body, an expected cut behind Pryor, Flynn and fourth-round pick Tyler Wilson.
[REWIND: Allen: 'We did right by Terrelle Pryor']
He slowly worked his way up the depth chart with talent and poise uncommon in an undrafted player.
"I like what Matt McGloin brings to the table," Allen said. "He's got some moxie to him. He just understands how to play the game and I don't think it's too big for him. If he's called upon to run the offense, I think he'll do a good job. He's smart, he throws an accurate ball, he's got good arm strength and he's a good decision maker. I like what this kid has to work with."
McGloin uses going undrafted as fuel, but it doesn't drive his every move. His unshakable confidence does that. He believes he can play well at the NFL level, and always has. He wasn't worried about draft status keeping him down, knowing that quality play would keep him gainfully employed.
Pryor's running ability puts him at greater injury risk, meaning McGloin is closer than most backups to NFL action. Surprise, surprise, he isn't worried about that either.
"Confidence is something I've never lacked," McGloin said. "Going back to Penn State that's always been one thing I've had is confidence. I know I'll be prepared. It's all about being ready when called upon. I know I'll be ready for that."

My journalism students were brainstorming topics for their final story projects. I urged them to come up with compelling ideas that relate to their experiences but that push deeply into national trends.
"Stop letting all the midlife writers (like myself) tell your stories," I pushed. "Tell your own."
As they went around the room, several pitches swirled around the same theme: the dramatic increase in multi-racial students and the issues of identity and self-definition they face.
The idea caught fire and sparked a fascinating class discussion. Turns out, they identified a trend that is transforming our classrooms—and should transform our teaching as well.
According to the recent New York Times story "Black? White? Asian? More Young Americans Choose All of the Above":
"The crop of students moving through college right now includes the largest group of mixed-race people ever to come of age in the United States, and they are only the vanguard: the country is in the midst of a demographic shift driven by immigration intermarriage."
This growing trend has implications for every teacher in every classroom at every educational level. How do we teach, discuss and explore the new, murky issues raised by multi-racial relations when many of us still struggle with how to teach, discuss and explore the literally black-and-white issues raised by what we've historically identified as race relations?
There is a lot of talk now of our "postracial society" and a new brand of "color blindness" now that our president is identified as an African-American. Except, President Barack Obama comes from a multi-racial background.
As usual, my students are my teachers. Their intense desire to identify as individuals of mixed races—to talk about it, write about it and study it—clarified for me the most powerful way to teach it. We must be neither post- nor blind regarding issues of color, race, ethnicity, difference, otherness.
Rather than colorblindness, I believe in "color mindfulness." We should honor, acknowledge and bring our full teaching attention to students' issues of identity. Our students are leading the way. They aren't colorblind. They talk to each other endlessly about their differences, their varying identities. They code-switch daily between the mixed cultures, socioeconomic classes and identities within their own worlds. Maybe one grandma is Italian, and another is Puerto Rican. The food is different. The hues are different. And the children moving in and out of those households know those differences well. They describe them, laugh about them, boast about them.
They are mindful of them. So why must we be blind to them?
According to The New York Times, we can't afford to be.
One in seven new marriages is between spouses of different races or ethnicities, according to data analyzed by the Pew Research Center from 2008 and 2009. Multiracial and multiethnic Americans (usually grouped together as "mixed race") are one of the country's fastest-growing demographic groups. And experts expect the racial results of the 2010 census, which will start coming out next month, to show the trend continuing or accelerating.
Many young adults of mixed backgrounds are rejecting the color lines that have defined Americans for generations in favor of a much more fluid sense of identity.
I believe this "more fluid sense of identity" offers a brave new world of teachable moments. We should own it, get ahead of it and show our students we see, and honor, the whole of them.
Cytrynbaum is a journalist and instructor at Northwestern University.
I have to respectfully
I have to respectfully disagree with Steven. As a mixed race adult of 43 years saying we all come from multi-racial backgrounds like Obama is minimizing the struggle. It's like saying we all come from Africa. We can not educate if we don't acknowledge or learn about experiences of people. Ignoring a struggle or saying we are all the same is the same point the author was making about colorblindness. Once a year I get to meet with over 100 mixed race educators at a conf. for people of color. Some of our struggles are different and some are similar. For me and several others it is the first time we have felt like we belonged somewhere. So if we say that we all are of mixed race we are not addressing the issue.
I have to respectfully agree
I have to respectfully agree with Polly, who clarified and deepened the point I had hoped to make in the piece.
"How do we teach, discuss and
"How do we teach, discuss and explore the new, murky issues raised by multi-racial relations when many of us still struggle with how to teach, discuss and explore the literally black-and-white issues raised by what we've historically identified as race relations?"
Perhaps the best way to start is to understand that these "new, murky issues" are neither new nor murky. We have been a "multiracial" society for centuries and as a consequence, we ALL come from a multi-racial backgrounds--like our first African-American President.
In some areas in early 17th century colonial Virginia--before wealthy elite planters made the fateful decision to rely on slave labor--nearly 5 in 10 black men had white wives and nearly 1 in 4 births were what we would call today, "mixed." Also, do not forget the considerable mixing amoung Native Americans. If you wonder whatever happend to the descendents of these early Virginians, just look in the mirror.

The World Cup is now in full swing, and millions of families around the world are getting together to watch soccer games, and to root for their favorite team.
For some families, supporting a specific team is mandatory, and it's passed down through the generations, like DNA. Some fans root for their home team, based on where they live or have lived at one point, while others choose a team based on other criteria.
Do you and your family all root for the same sports teams? Let us know in the poll below!
Olympics: Cheering for 'our' teams
So many of our families have branches living in diverse countries, so our question today reflects that reality.
Which national teams - of our varied heritages - are those we roots for at major events, such as the Olympics? And, of course, why do we cheer so loudly for our national teams during the Olympics?
Experts at the University of Texas, Dallas offer several explanations of how we define ourselves via membership in a larger group, sometimes called "collective identity."
UTD Researcher Dr. Karen Huxtable-Jester says this tendency is stronger in men than women, but everyone seems to enjoy cheering for their national team. She teaches psychology in The University of Texas at Dallas' School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
Another impetus for this is that people like to associate with successful people. Researchers call this BIRG (basking in reflected glory).

A Gallery of Baby Poop? Yuck!Amy Kuras
One of the more, um, humbling things about parenting is the fact that you find yourself having a lot of conversations about poop. And usually, not even your own poop.
But a whole photo gallery of poop? Like, opening up the diaper and instead of disposing of its contents as fast as possible, whipping out the point-and-shoot? And then posting your work on the Internet to share with everyone in the world ("Good morning, Grandma! Here's little Christopher's latest!!")? That's more than a little nasty.
But the good folks at Boing Boing shared this: a photo gallery, yes, gallery, of healthy baby poop. Glahhhhhhh. That's one for href="http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/">STFU, Parents! Which alerted me to a similar item on Babycenter.
All of this poses the question: What is WRONG with people? Are we that clueless, as parents? Really?
Admittedly I hate poop talk –I got three pages into "Everyone Poops" before I was too horrified and had to put it down. And one of my most embarrassing moments was paging the pediatrican because my baby's poop was black, and then bringing in the diaper the next day for her to see (although we both got a good laugh out of how completely mortified I was to do so). And some people are calling this a public service. Ahhhh, no. Police officers? Firefighters? Librarians? That's public service. This? This is more than a little bit weird and gross.

The Phoenix Suns came out to play in the daytime for the first time this season, on a Sunday afternoon on the East Coast.
And they proceeded to commit 16 first-half turnovers.
Then the Suns settled down, giving the ball away only five times in the second half, and beat the Washington Wizards yesterday, 102-90, to improve to 6-1, matching the best seven-game start in franchise history.
"We just weren't really fresh today," point guard Steve Nash said. "Maybe it was the first day game of the season. We really didn't have a great bounce to us, we didn't really push the ball, we weren't really aggressive to start. That was the difference.

By Jenny (toddler mom)
This week I'm in my old hometown, in the house I grew up in. It's been sleety and cold. The house is often filled with bloody strangers my father brings in from the taxidermy shop. About half of the time we've had no running water. Right now my mom is boiling some water on the stove for us to wash up in. The 80's version of Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Special is playing on the tv and the house smells of cinnamon. The only difference between this morning and any morning 25 years ago is that the little girl riding the old rocking horse is not me.
And I love every. single. part about it.
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on that.
Hailey has fed my parents' adopted children:
She's played in the taxidermy shop:
And she'd bonded completely with the family donkey:
I'm fairly certain that she will not be ready to leave by the end of this week.
And I'm pretty sure she won't be alone.

Scotland has become the first part of the UK to back minimum pricing for alcohol after Holyrood passed legislation that will lead to a typical bottle of wine costing at least £4.50.
Last night's vote was a major success for the SNP, which has fought for years, and across two parliaments, to implement the policy. However, it is subject to a "sunset clause", which means that it can be abandoned in six years if it is not having an impact. The measure had been opposed by Scottish Labour on the ground that it would profit supermarkets.

Last month in Baton Rouge, LSU junior wide receiver Russell Shepard looked forward to the "craziness" of playing Oregon in the Dallas Cowboys' home stadium in Arlington, Texas, to open the season.
On Thursday afternoon, LSU announced that Shepard, one of the program's top playmakers, will miss the Oregon game for violating an NCAA rule. Shepard was determined by the NCAA and the school to have discussed the details of an NCAA inquiry with a teammate who was scheduled to meet with NCAA representatives but had not yet done so.
Shepard's eligibility has been in question for reasons reportedly related to his off-campus housing. It is is yet to be determined how many games Shepard will miss. It certainly could be more than one.
Set against the ongoing police investigation of 2 a.m. fight last week outside a Baton Rouge bar—which could spell bad news for senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson and other members of the team—LSU's championship hopes may be unraveling.
Last month, Shepard described the upcoming season—which LSU would enter with a No. 1 preseason ranking from Sporting News—as "something to be excited about because this is the first year everyone seems to be on the same page. Nobody's accepting anything less than a national championship."
At the moment, that appears to be utterly unbelievable.

Egyptian champions Ahli arrived in Germany on Sunday to begin their pre-season training camp.
Versatile midfielder Ahmed Fathi missed the trip as he is still nursing a knee injury he sustained during Egypt's Confederations Cup campaign.
He will link up with his teammates on Wednesday, Ahli said on their official website.
Veteran midfielder Ahmed Hassan was also missing after the club's board allowed him to remain with Egypt until their World Cup qualifier against Rwanda on July fifth.
Hassan, Egypt's skipper, will miss the tie due to suspension but he asked Ahli to stay with the Pharaohs to support them in the crunch tie.
During the camp, Ahli will play in a friendly tournament that will feature Turkish side Galatasaray, Germany's Bayern Munich and Morocco's Wydad Casablanca.
The Red Devils will take part in another tournament later in July – the Wembley Cup that will also include European champions Barcelona, English side Tottenham Hotspur and Scottish giants Celtic.

The 1970 Pontiac Firebird received a complete restyling. To many
Pontiac fans this was the sign of changing times. The newly styled
car was a beatiful shape that would be with Pontiac for the next
eleven years.
On the outside this car featured bulging curves and a sloping rear
window that made the car appear extremely sporty and aggresive.
The Trans Am model included large front and rear spoilers and a
fender vents. Combined with an aggressive handling and drivetrain
package, this created a memorable and powerful muscle car.
Under the hood of the Firebird were several optional 400cid motors
with a base level of 345hp. However, an available 370hp motor was
a simple upgrade. All Trans Am's included a rear facing scoop which
directed cool air directly into the tuned port motors. Available
transmissions included the 3 speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic for
four speed with the Hurst shifter.
The suspension on Trans Am's was upgraded to include massive torsion
bars, heavy duty disc/drum brakes, and quick ratio steering.
On the inside, the Firebird was all business. This featured the
famous diamond finished dash and racing steering wheel. The seats
were heavily supported and the door panels featured rich stitching.
Still available was the Firebird 400 model which carried a twin
scoop hood treatment and a 335hp motor arrangement.

Some athletes sum up the years of Olympic preparation in stopwatch readings, mounted podiums, or world standings.
Bode Miller, being Bode Miller, can point to the troubles he has endured.
The 2014 Winter Olympics will be Miller's fifth, a record for an American skier. But in the long run-up to the Sochi Games, life tested the Alpine veteran as not even the most treacherous mountainside could.
He endured microfracture surgery and 20 months of rehabilitation after a 2012 knee injury so severe it jeopardized not just this Olympic quest but whatever skiing future remained.
He lost a younger brother in April, when Chelone "Chilly" Miller, just 29, succumbed to a brain seizure, eight years after suffering serious head injuries in a motorcycle accident.

A Planned Parenthood group in California is launching a prayer campaign in support of abortion, called "40 Days of Prayer: Supporting Women Everywhere."
The campaign lists 40 different prayers for those involved in an abortion -- the mothers, their escorts, and the doctors performing the procedure.
The campaign doesn't include a prayer for the unborn baby. The Six Rivers Planned Parenthood in Eureka, Calif., said the event is "in celebration of women and reproductive rights."
But Liberty Council founder Matthew Staver said the campaign is about eugenics.
"As much as they might not like the comparison, Planned Parenthood today is no different than the eugenics promoted by its founder Margaret Sanger, who advocated the elimination of 'undesirables,' just like the most famous eugenicist, Adolph Hitler," Staver said.
Staver said the Planned Parenthood event mocks the "40 Days of Life" campaign that has rallied some half million people to pray for the unborn.
According to Staver, the pro-life campaign has saved nearly 6,000 unborn babies, brought about the closure of 22 abortion clinics, and stopped nearly 70 doctors from performing abortions.

Some travelers like to choose the places that they've always wanted to visit – their bucket list destinations and activities that they've always dreamed of doing and going. They devise their itinerary around those must-see places. Others like to take advantage of the time they will have on their extended trip and go to far-away places that are difficult to get to and see on a
Before making any plans to get between Hong Kong and mainland China make sure your visas are in order. You need visa to enter Hong Kong and a different visa to enter China.
Once that is figured out, you are left with deciding where you want to go and then decide how you plan to travel. Flights, ferries, buses and trains offer a lot of options for all budgets.
Quick summary
Should you plan to get from Hong Kong to Shenzhen
December is another popular month to visit Hong Kong. Sure, it's cold (by the local standards) but it's also very nice if you plan to see the festive lights and go shopping. Don't be shy and explore the outdoors, as well.Weather
December in Hong Kong falls during winter and it's definitely cold here. Or shall we say, it's cold for the locals? With an average day time temperature of 21C and an average during the night of 15C ,

Knitted wool lined with coarser undyed knitting
Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Mid 19th century
Museum no. 4719(IS)
Knitting is not a craft traditional to India, but was introduced by Europeans, probably in the late 18th century. This piece was probably knitted by the Kashmiri immigrants who created the woollen shawls. Kashmiris left their homes because of a famine and settled in Ludhiana in 1833, where the piece originates. The knitted hats are strongly reminiscent of Kashmir shawls in their use of the 'boteh' or paisley motif. Knitted garments made in the Punjab and Kashmir include socks, stockings and gloves as well as headgear. It is likely that the shawls and knitted items found a market in Simla, the summer hill-station of the British administration.

Circa 1940s Earle Combs Single-Signed Ball
Starting Bid - $300.00 , Sold For - $1,410.00
Hutch "Official League Ball" signed by Earle Combs in blue ink (grading "5/6") upon a side panel. Combs' entire twelve-year career (1924-1935) was spent with the New York Yankees. In addition to being an important member of the club's famed "Murderers' Row" lineup in 1927, Combs also played on two additional World Championship clubs (1928 and 1932). He finished his career with a .325 average, a mark that ranks forty-second on the all-time list. Combs was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1970. He passed away in 1976. Because this was years before the single-signed ball became universally recognized as the ideal among autographed-baseball collectors, and few collectors sought his signature on a baseball, Combs single-signed balls are particularly rare. This is obviously a vintage signed ball. Our guess is that it dates from the 1940s. The ball is moderately soiled with a few light abrasions. In Very Good condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $1,410.00

Six British boats were semi-final winners on a rich day for Great Britain at the Rowing World Cup in Lucerne. Three others also went through, meaning there will be 14 British boats in tomorrow's finals.

Note: IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE A DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW MODEL FOR A PERFORMING NOTE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROJECT.
I am seeking a Microsoft Excel Expert who can quickly put together a discounted cash flow model. The cash flow model will be used to obtain the discount required for buyer of a performing note a specific yield based upon current cash flow and future payoff.
The inputs required will include:

The investor purchase price must not only include the income over the term of the note, but also a yield resulting from the payoff at the actual note balance.
The model should include 2 tabs. The first tab will include the inputs and the results. The second tab will be a month to month cash flow showing distributions.

With the holidays upon us, it's time to gather with the family and watch a holiday classic. One movie that is sure to be viewed many times -- whether you're catching one of its many December airings or were lucky enough to get the 40th anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray as a gift this year -- is the 1971 classic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.'
To celebrate the movie's enduring fandom, Moviefone spoke with the stars of the candy-coated classic and got their first-hand account of making the pop culture landmark. If you've ever wanted to know what the heck was up with that boat ride through the tunnel, or learn which heavy metal icon got star struck at the sight of Veruca Salt, Moviefone has the full story after the jump.
Rusty Goffe (Oompa Loompa): Gene in that time was just beginning to be a big star. He was just in 'Bonnie and Clyde' and he was given free reign to do what he wanted. You had to trust him to be an inventor because he invented all these amazing things.
Mel Stuart (Director): It was a pleasure, both of us trying to top each other: How weird can he be? For instance, he starts talking gibberish German, that was just something we made up on the spot. You'll even notice, further along in the picture, his hair would get more crazy, and we kept working on trying to make him as unpredictable as possible. He was supposed to look weird, twisted. We wanted an element of un-easiness about how he would react in every scene.
Peter Ostrum (Charlie): Wonderful person to work with. Acted as a teacher to me going into the process, and very supportive, and just a lot of fun to be around. He had a nice sense of humor, not threatening at all.
Paris Themmen (Mikey Teevee): He liked me less because I was the eleven year old hellion, amidst the very well-behaved Denise, Julie, and Peter. There's footage of Gene disparaging me in various interviews. "How are the kids, Gene?" "Oh, four of them are great and one of them I'm going to strangle tomorrow." There's another point in the DVD footage where he says, "Oh, Paris, you know that I love you now."
Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde): Just the complete antithesis of what you see on screen. However, when he broke into song in the tunnel -- no acting involved. I'm thinking, "No one is going to come and see this movie, this man is a crackerjack. He's scaring me!"
Themmen: When we shot the scene, they had us climb up some ladders onto the boat so that they could rock the boat around and do what they needed to do. They projected behind us those horrific scenes with the chicken getting his head cut off and the centipede and all of the other things. When I'm on the boat, I am actually being affected, I'm scared, I'm shooting my gun at it, I'm repulsed.
Goffe: I was at the back, on the wheel. When I saw it, it was scary, but then it gets even more scary when Gene sits there, and the hair's going, and the boat's going faster. We could only hear him singing, thinking "Why's he doing this?" But when we saw it, it just adds to the spookiness.
Stuart: I wanted to scare. And all of that stuff on the wall was deliberately made to make it look a little bit nightmarish. You didn't know where the hell we were going ... the great thing about this film was it wasn't produced by a studio. Quaker Oats put up the money and I didn't have to answer to anybody. The way I did it was the way I perceived it, which was very fortunate. I didn't have to have people from Warner Brothers go, "Oh, gee, a snake on a man's face, that's too much."
Ostrum: It's one of those scenes that you don't really get the full impact until you're in the theater watching.
Julie Dawn Cole (VerucaSalt): The worst stuff never made the final cut.
Cole: I had dinner with him before the rest of the kids arrived. He's very tall and very scary, and I was very well-behaved at this dinner because I felt like I was almost being auditioned by him.
Nickerson: He was so unapproachable. Usually had a scowl on his face. A thirteen-year-old would not just go, "Hey man! How ya doing!" You could tell he didn't like children. But he had his interpretation of how this was going to go and he wasn't happy with the way it was being done.
Ostrum: He's got the characters kind of picked out in his head, what they would look like and how they would act, and then we show up, and I'm sure it was different than what his imagination led him to believe. I think it was difficult for him.
Nickerson: When we opened that door, being thirteen and small in stature, it was like an entire city, and it was all self-contained. All the colors you see on film, will never rival my memory. To this day, I get breathless even thinking about it, it was just the most awesome thing I had ever seen.
Themmen: Even though you recognized as a child actor that it's a facade, it's a really fun facade. It's a beautiful, colorful facade.
Cole: [Laughs] The cat's out of the bag now, 'cause it's been a secret kept for many many years. Mel was adamant that we were not going to see that big reveal, but prior to it, one of the stagehands or set technicians building it said "do you wanna have a look around?" It wasn't finished, but I had seen quite a lot of it, so I pretended. For thirty years, I've pretended.
Nickerson: I didn't look at the mirror. I can tell you it was awful. Simply awful. Watch the film next time, there's no acting involved. After all those hours I was simply pissed off and very uncomfortable. I was blue and fat.
Mel Stuart assigned a man to roll me every five minutes. And I would hang like this and hang like that, and it was hot and uncomfortable. The Oompas didn't have their blueberry driver's licenses so they would go to give me a push through those double doors and miss. I'd hear Mel go "Ah! Do it again!" It was a long day. I look at it now and it played very well because I was so ticked off, but I can't really say I was giving an Oscar-winning performance. [Laughs] It truly was just how I felt.
Ostrum: Jack [Albertson] was wonderful. Jack was as low-keyed and unpretentious of any person that I could've worked with. Working with Jack, working with Gene, my friendship with them, made my role very easy to play. Jack was wonderful. And now I'm starting to look like Jack.
Cole: It's the family gene. The hair. All the parents took care of their children, they parented us. [Roy Kinnear] used to tell me little poems and things to amuse me all day long. But he taught me techniques too, he was delightful. My favorite scene is the woman with the husband being kidnapped "Did you hear me? It's your husband's life or your Wonka bars?" and she says "How long do I got to think it over?"
Themmen: I like the one where I had to eat the exploding gum and crash back into the pots and pans. I wanted to do multiple takes but they only did one to maintain my safety because they were really copper pots and pans crashing down around me. I liked the little psychedelic room where we're all bumping around. The one that gets smaller and smaller. What room wouldn't ya like?
Stuart: No one's going to believe me, it was Veruca singing 'I Want It Now' because it's a fabulous song, it's in three-quarter, the harmony, the words, everything, it's a perfect song. Julie rehearsed it without me knowing. She and the choreographer worked on it on their spare time. And if you look at it again, her timing is so impeccable when she hits her father in the stomach on the beat, I just enjoyed that more than any other moment in the film.
Cole: Ozzy Osborne, he asked all the questions that you've probably asked. "Was the river really chocolate? Where did you go to when you went down the chute?" That was quite interesting.
Goffe: I've come across fans who when they were young and watched the movie were absolutely scared of the little orange men; their mums and dads would say, "If you don't behave yourself the little orange men will come" and a couple of fans, who are now in their 30s will not come near me. They would stand there and go "ooh." They were shaking in fear.
Themmen: There was a guy who wanted my signature so that he could tattoo it on his body; there was a guy who had a collection of celebrity hair who wanted some of my hair. Hopefully he won't clone me from it; we wouldn't want that. I've signed various body parts. I remember a woman that traveled around with her taxidermized dog. She was writing me letters for a while but she had her dog, that was stuffed, and it was with her, just because it was a loving friend.
Nickerson: [As a teenager] I never told anybody. I was trying to become the normal person, begin a new career, so I couldn't very well go into a job interview and go, "by the way, I'm the blueberry." It just wouldn't have meshed well. It really didn't happen until the beginning of the 90s when it started being shown at Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving.
I don't go around proclaiming it -- they may know me for ten years and not even know I was in it -- but when they do find out, they have two reactions. One is a huge smile; the other one is "no way!" I always say, "I have a much better imagination than to lie to you about being a fruit in a kid's movie. If I was gonna lie to you, I'd be Demi Moore in 'Striptease'!" I'm so blessed, really.
Ostrum: It's not one incident, or one encounter. But many encounters that fathers will come up to me and say that their father took them to see this film and it was the first film that they saw, and they have this kind of a bonding that took place between father and son going to see this film. Many people have told me that, so that's neat that the film has had an influence on other people's lives, positive influences. I get a kick out of those experiences.
Stuart: [Fans] thought it was a psychedelic trip. Remember it was the 70s and they thought "she ate the mushroom!" I have never taken a drug in my life, I didn't know what they were talking about. Psychedelic what? But they said, "But the mushroom! She at the mushroom!" That was funny to me.
(From L to R: Julie Dawn Cole, Paris Themmen, Denise Nickerson. Courtesy of Getty Images.)
Nickerson: Most of it was props; when Julie had to go into the mushroom, that part was cream, and when I had to chew the piece off the corner of the gummy bear, that whole thing was plastic except for that little piece. What I really ate in the film were the pieces of gum. So, Bazooka, Bazooka, Bazooka. It was back in the days before sugarless, and I had to blow bubbles for that entire movie.
Ostrum: Most of the chocolate that I had was Peter Paul Mounds brought over from the United States, not German chocolate. Some of it was a little on the stale side. So not the best chocolate experience. However, Gene and I got into a little tradition after lunch each day, we'd be walking back to set and we'd share chocolate. Real chocolate. Good chocolate. That's a nice memory I have of Gene.
Themmen: You know, I was a little disappointed in the pure imagination room; I got the gum. The gum was, you know, gum.
Cole: The day we filmed my song, was my thirteenth birthday. I still have the birthday card you gave me.
Ostrum: Really?
Cole: Yeah, I still got it. They gave me a chocolate cake, which was fine, but as a child, I did not like chocolate. And I still don't like chocolate.
Ostrum: [Laughs] I love chocolate.

Hart district board members could take another step toward making Castaic high school a reality on Wednesday.
Among the items on the school board's agenda is approving some $200,000 in voter-approved bond money to prepare the environmental impact report on the proposed high school site at Romero Canyon.
William S. Hart Union High School District board members in July selected the Romero Canyon property in Castaic as their top choice for the long-sought high school.
The community just north of Santa Clarita has spent the last decade waiting for the district to build it a high school.
Castaic students currently attend West Ranch and Valencia high schools, which have been overcrowded at times.
The environmental impact report is just one hurdle facing the 23,000-student district to open a Castaic high school in time for the 2013-14 school year.
Board members will also decide whether to approve work examining potential landslide issues on the Romero Canyon property, owned by local developer Larry Rasmussen.
All contracts would be financed through Measure SA, the $300 million construction bond approved by local voters in 2008.

Mutiny by the Bounties? The Attempt to Reform Wall Street by the New Whistleblower Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act
Geoffrey Christopher Rapp
University of Toledo College of Law
Brigham Young University Law Review, p. 73, 2012
University of Toledo Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2012-13
The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to pay bounties to whistleblowers. This provision answers a call made by a number of legal scholars. The whistleblower protections of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) had proven ineffective in stimulating insiders to report corporate and financial fraud. Unfortunately, time may reveal that Dodd-Frank, like SOX before it, was a missed opportunity. The new bounty program is limited to cases in which the SEC obtains $1 million in enforcement sanctions, an overly restrictive condition in an era when the SEC shows a continued preference for non-monetary penalties like cease-and-desist orders and obey-the-law junctions and an increasing preference for "therapeutic" sanctions. More fundamentally, however, the new whistleblower law fails to create true qui tam structures akin to those in the Federal False Claims Act. Whistleblowers under the new law lack the essential ability to direct litigation independent of federal authorities. This Article proposes an Informer's Act model as a corrective measure to help Dodd-Frank fulfill its potential.
