Some users think the Detroit auto maker giving profit-sharing money to about 45,000 unionized workers as part of the auto maker's contract with the United Auto Workers union is well deserved:
From voyeur: "Great news for the GM workers and their communities. And I'm sure the government will get their money back soon enough. Besides what better way to stimulate the economy and spread the wealth. A 750,000 dollar (Bay City GM Powertrain's expected amount) influx of cash into this town will surly keep a few people working."
From Domwoog: "These auto workers earned the money, they took concessions in their new UAW contract and deserve this bonus. Plus I am pretty happy that around 750K worth of bonus money will be spent in the Bay City area. Heck these guys might hire your sorry butt and save your business because they got a few extra bills in their pockets."
From MW33: "Yep, and that $750,000 is monies no longer available to say expand a profitable business or say to start a new company with a great new product.
"Money does not grow on trees like this regime would like to have you think, it comes out of our hides eventually as GM is still running in the RED."
From Dalriata: "Wonder how long it will be before GM is back in the financial toilet bowl again and needs another government bailout? They should have dedicated those funds to long term capital improvements to sustain profitable production. Instead they plan short term as usual and will drive the company into bankruptcy once more. Fools."
What do you think? Is the money well-deserved? Or is GM digging itself into another bankruptcy?

Sleet and freezing rain showers changing to spotty freezing rain and freezing drizzle overnight will keep the pavement slick even on treated roadways with temperatures staying in the mid 20s.
A leftover pocket of freezing drizzle may be around early Tuesday, but conditions will improve Tuesday midday as temperatures reach above 32 by the lunch hour.
Get ready for a warm-up Wednesday as temperatures reach for 50. Rain showers will move in again by Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday morning. This is due to a cold front moving at us from the west.
Behind this cold front, we'll dry out and temperatures become seasonal once again for next weekend.
Tonight: Spotty freezing drizzle/showers. Low near 26.
Tuesday: Slick spots early, Mostly cloudy. High 40 by late afternoon.
Tuesday Night: Spotty rain showers. Some pockets of freezing rain. Low 32.
Wednesday: Balmy and breezy. Afternoon and evening rain showers, high 50.

SPRINGFIELD - You are not a cookie-cutter woman. And, you're not running a cookie-cutter life. You know that your career needs to be a reflection of your true talents and passion. But, how do you figure out what that is?
And, how do you take this and create your own personal brand?
On March 19, phenom Laura Garnett will headline "Unleashing Your Powerful Personal Brand" to kick off Women's History Month at Western New England University at 5:30 p.m.
Garnett will share with her audience what she considers the five keys to successful personal branding, including why women entrepreneurs need to brand themselves, what makes them unique, how to stand out, how to build confidence and what makes a good brand.
Garnett, known as "The Business Matchmaker," has held corporate executive positions with such companies as Google, American Express and Capital One.
"Entrepreneurs are the backbone of our nation. Unleashed is a series we developed to bolster the female entrepreneur community in Springfield," says Natasha Clark, publisher of Lioness magazine and organizer of the event. "Holyoke has set the tone for pushing a creative economy. It's Springfield's turn."
Sponsors of the workshop include Western New England University, Baystate Health, Royal LLP, Northwestern Mutual, Scibelli Enterprise Center, the state Executive Office of Housing & Economic Development and WEIB FM radio.
Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online at www.thelionessgroup.com

Wildwood boys, girls win MAC track titles
SHENANDOAH JUNCTION – Bad weather halted the Mountaineer Athletic Conference Championship track meet last Friday after the field events.
Six days later, following the completion of the Westest, the championships resumed with the running of the track events Thursday, the final day that the West Virginia Secondary Schools Athletics Commission allowed for middle school runners to compete.
The Wildwood Mustangs swept the competition with the girls and boys winning with 126 and 120.66 points, respectively.
Wildwood runners Jah'lil Jenkins and Antley Fortney took high-point honors with 30 points individually.
A three-way tie between two Wildwood jumpers and a Charles Town Panthers jumper proved to be the biggest difference-maker as the Mustangs won the boys meet championship by 33-hundreths of a point.
The Romney Pioneers finished third with 99 points, and the Capon Bridge Bobcats and Shepherdstown Cardinals finished in a tie for fourth with 72 points. The Warm Springs Wolves and Harpers Ferry Tigers rounded out the finishers in the boys meet with 31 and 10 points, respectively.
Jenkins led the way for the Mustangs, taking victories in the 100-meter dash (11.83 seconds), the 200 (23.88) and the 400 with a 54.21 to score his 30 points. Cortez Jenkins of Wildwood took the 75 hurdles with a 12.81, while Zabarr Jones won the discus with a throw of 116 feet, 1 inch. Delmar Hagedorn won the 3,200 with a 11:34, and the Mustangs won the 4×200 relay with a time of 1:43.91.
The Panthers took the 4×100 and the shuttle hurdle relays, while Devaughn Wright and Darnell Gardner took individual honors with victories in the shot put and long jump, respectively.
The Pioneers won the 4×400 relay with a time of 4:01, and Jesse Sirk won the 200 hurdles with a time of 28.75 seconds.
Capon Bridge was highlighted with a victory in the high jump by Jordan Schworm, who cleared 5-1, while Stephen Shetler headlined Warm Springs with a victory in the 1,600 with a time of 5:03.
Shepherdstown won the 4×800 relay, and Colin Hayes won the 800 with a time of 2:22.
In the girls meet, Wildwood won decisively, finishing with 126 points. Shepherdstown and Capon Bridge finished in a tie for second with 99 points. Romney finished fourth with 75 points, while Charles Town, Harpers Ferry and Warm Springs rounded out the finishers with 57, 48, and 23 points, respectively.
Fortney led the Mustangs with victories in the long jump with a leap of 15-4 and the 200 hurdles with a 31.03. Wildwood also picked up wins in the 4×100 and 4×200 relays.
Bailey Phillips headlined Shepherdstown with victories in the 400 and 800 runs. Phillips won the 800 over Romney's Hannah Lipps, who won the 1,600 and 3,200. The Cardinals won the 4×400 and shuttle hurdle relays.
Capon Bridge won the 4×800 relay, and Haley McAllister shone individually with a 4-6 effort in the high jump.
Charles Town's Aisha Grant won the 100 and 200 dashes with times of 13.51 and 27.59, respectively, and Harpers Ferry's Tori Banjoman won the shot put and discus throws with tosses of 40-10.5 and 89-8, respectively.

A piece about my quest to identify New Orleans' Ultimate Hamburgers yielded so many reader tips I'm rearranging my summer eating-and-writing schedule accommodate them. I'd originally planned to finish my list mid-July. I'm pushing that back to late summer. I need the extra time to try all of the newly recommended burgers.
Oscar's, Abita Brew Pub, Firehouse, O'Henry's, Zea, Blue Tomato and Lakeview Harbor are just a handful of the restaurants whose burgers I've added to my "try list," which is growing longer every day. Just this morning I took note of this comment from AmbassadorHooHoo:
"Ralph's on the Park does Service Industry Night every Tuesday starting around 9 p.m. On the menu you will find "The Royale with Cheese" - everything on the plate is locally sourced, and especially mentionable is the American cheese which they make in-house."
A number of restaurants' burgers generated broad public support. Cowbell, Company Burger, Yo Mama's, Rivershack, Sylvain and Bud's Broiler were among those that received multiple mentions as reader favorites.
Yet there was no unanimity of opinion, even for Port of Call, whose burger was mentioned by more readers than any other.
In the words of Binnola3, "Port of Call is the best (hands down!)."
BurgerDogBoy: "At last, New Orleanians get to sample REAL burgers and topple the highly overrated Port of Call from its undeserved perch of 'best.'"
Many more readers helped articulate the specific hamburger properties that are coming under scrutiny. "Let us please discuss the crucial question of the integrity of the bun," wrote my colleague Danielle Dreilinger.
There is also, of course, the issue of the meat itself. They run from the thin-patty, fast-food style burgers of places like Lee's and Five Guys to the burly, opulent hamburgers at higher end restaurants like Luke, La Petite Grocery and Toup's Meatery.
"There are as many styles of hamburgers in NOLA as there are accents," wrote Heinrich Von Schlitz. "You can't just group them all together and say this is better than that."
I agree with that first sentence. The second one I take as a challenge. New Orleans has never seen so many great hamburgers, but there inevitably will be those that rise above.

Well, it looks like you had a really good time because it is a beautiful necklace. I love how the copper sets off the gorgeous blue of the pendant. Did you also make the copper findings? Great wire wrapping!
Pretty necklace!
Nice wrapping work there! Agree with N radon..Copper against Turquoise is awesome!
A little fun turned into beautiful artwork!
Love the color combo and your wirework!
I also love the birch bark background! Is it a jewelry stand?
Thanks ladies! Mary, the birch bark background is actually an Amishmade bench that my husband gave me for Mother's Day a few years ago. It is really a great backdrop for my photos…I love the natural look of it! N radon, I did purchase the copper jumprings but the rest of the copper came from the spool .
Copper wire is GOOD! I love what you have done with it on the pendant. Great looking necklace.
Don't know how I missed this one– two of my fav's copper and turq. Very Nice!

Chamber marks 20 years with honors
BOARDMAN – After growing up as a poor boy on the west side of Warren, the president of a $102 million Girard company knows first-hand the importance of making your own destiny.
Chris Jaskiewicz told an audience of nearly 500 area business and community leaders on Thursday that, as a teenager, he had held the belief that people are a product of their environment.
"I used that as an excuse for the way I was living my life at that time," Jaskiewicz said. "I realize now I was wrong. We are not a product of our environment. We create our environment by our thoughts and by our hearts. We get the chance to choose whether every setback, challenge or adversity strengthens us or weakens us."
Jaskiewicz, who worked his way up at VEC Inc. to now serve as president and Chief Operations Officer, was among the recipients of four awards given by the Regional Chamber to community leaders who have made a difference in the community. He was given the Spirit of Excellence Award.
The luncheon event, held at Mr. Anthony's Banquet Center in Boardman, also marked the Chamber's 20th anniversary of existence.
"We are well on our way in the right direction," said chamber President and CEO Tom Humphries, following a slide show presentation recapping the organization's last two decades.
Robert Shroder, president and CEO of Humility of Mary Health Partners, was honored with the William G. Lyden Jr. Spirit of the Valley Award. Shroder, who has been with Humility of Mary for about two decades, called the decision to move here the best decision he ever made.
Shroder, who was out of town at a national health care convention, spoke by video.
"When I moved here, I heard a lot of jokes about the Youngstown area," Shroder said. "Have you noticed those have stopped? Youngstown pride is back."
Trumbull County Commissioners Frank Fuda, Dan Polivka and Paul Heltzel were awarded the Chairman's Political Achievement Award.
They were chosen, officials said, because of their work to create efficiencies in county government, like consolidating four of eight 911 dispatch centers and support of county Engineer Randy Smith's efforts to share services and materials with other governmental entities in the county. They also were chosen for the leadership in support for the oil and gas industry, chamber officials said.
Sylvester J. Frazzini III, general manager and vice president of the American Business Center, Inc., was honored with the Donald Cagigas Spirit of the Chamber Award.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina sheriff said Monday he was not going to charge swimmer Michael Phelps after a photo of the 14-time gold medalist showed him smoking from a marijuana pipe.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said he couldn't ignore the photo but defended his investigation.
"Michael Phelps is truly an American hero ... but even with his star status, he is still obligated to obey the laws of our state," Lott said.
The photo showed Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe at a party in November when he visited the University of South Carolina. Lott said he seized the marijuana pipe, known as a bong, that was in the photo but couldn't prove Phelps had smoked from it.
"We had a photo and him saying he was sorry for inappropriate behavior. He never said, 'I smoked marijuana.' We didn't have physical evidence," Lott said.
Phelps has called his judgment bad and said he would learn from his mistake.
USA Swimming suspended Phelps for three months in the wake of the photo, and Kellogg Co. said it would not renew its endorsement deal with him.
The photo surfaced in a British newspaper, News of the World, on Feb. 1. The swimmer, who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games, did not dispute its authenticity.
News of the World said the picture was taken during a party while Phelps was visiting the university. During that trip, he attended one of the school's football games and received a big ovation when introduced to the crowd.
The party occurred nearly three months after the Olympics while Phelps was taking a break from training, and his actions should have no impact on the eight golds he won at Beijing. He has never tested positive for banned substances.
This isn't the first embarrassing episode for Phelps after an Olympic triumph. In 2004, a few months removed from winning six gold and two bronze medals in Athens, the swimmer was arrested on a drunken driving charge at age 19. He pleaded guilty and apologized for the mistake.

The Silver Spring Township Board of Supervisors want to raise our taxes to create a pot of money to preserve land. No way!
Working people in our township are already seeing their dollars stretched with rising costs, especially rising health care costs. To ask us to pay more right now is ridiculous.
Furthermore it's difficult to understand why the township is pushing this increase. Land owners have so many different programs already available to them to preserve their land. Why would we need to create a separate fund at the local level when our tax dollars are already helping to fund programs at the county and state levels?
Luckily, voters in the township have a choice about this tax increase. They can vote against it. I hope my fellow citizens will vote no when they go to the ballot box on Nov. 5.

Congressional Science Fellowship
About the Fellowship | Current Fellow | Hall of Fame | Reports
Hall of Fame
David Szymanski
David Szymanski was the GSAU.S. Geological Survey Congressional Science Fellow for 20082009. Szymanski earned his Ph.D. from Michigan State University (MSU) in 2007; his research focused on the chemical evolution of silicic magmas in northern Costa Rica. Since 2005, Szymanski has managed the inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometer and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer geoanalytical laboratories for MSUs department of geological sciences. Szymanski masters degree in structural geology is also from MSU, and in 1998 he worked as an intern geologist at Union Pacific Resources in Fort Worth, Texas. Szymanski earned a B.A. in geology from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1996.
In addition to his broad background in the geological sciences, Szymanski, at the time of his appointment, practiced forensic science and also held a masters degree in forensic chemistry from MSU. He worked as a consultant in civil and criminal cases and wass a court-qualified expert witness in Michigan, where he was a contract analyst for the Michigan State Police.
Szymanskis diverse scientific background and interest in science policy are linked by a desire to address societal problems through teaching science to nonscientists. The ability to communicate the essence of scientific issues is paramount to the integrity of the judicial process, and I believe fostering scientific literacy is equally important to the legislative process, says Szymanski. While pursuing his doctorate, Szymanski worked with a multidisciplinary research group on teaching college science to understand how students learn complex systems in geology and biology. He recently co-authored an article related to this research for the Journal of Geoscience Education. Teaching students to think in terms of systems fuels his interest in science policy. No single legislator or staff can have a breadth and depth of knowledge on all scientific issues, says Szymanski, but given the right tools, citizens and legislators alike can judge the soundness of the science behind policy.
Szymanski is grateful for the opportunity to serve as the GSA-USGS Congressional Science Fellow for 20082009. He anticipates returning to the classroom after his year on Capitol Hill, bringing back a unique perspective on the relationships between science and public policy to share with students and colleagues. I want to convey how scientific literacy informs social and political decision making. In turn, understanding earth processes can help students make sound civic decisions on voting issuesthe policy questions directly related to earth cycles.

LSU started off last weekend by receiving a verbal pledge from senior defensive lineman Christian LaCouture of
LaCouture, 6 feet 5, 270 pounds, has been high on LSU's board throughout the process despite his commitment to
LSU has a huge need for more defensive lineman in the 2013 class, and when LaCouture committed, it changed the Tigers' board a bit. LaCouture offers versatility because he can play end and possibly move to tackle after he adds weight. The Tigers were in search of both an end and a tackle.
Greg Gilmore, DT, 6-4 285,
Gilmore's mother also gave LSU high marks after her first visit to
Laurence "Hootie" Jones, DB, 6-2 205, Neville, 2013: Jones spoke highly of his visit to
Many think LSU is in a battle with
Kevin Toliver, DB, 6-1 185, Trinity Christian,
During the LSU prospect camp and the national 7-on-7 circuit, Toliver held his own against many of the nation's top athletes despite being two years younger. Toliver, who is the son of a coach, has a great football IQ to go along with amazing athleticism. As a senior, he likely will be considered one of the top 100 prospects in
Daylon Charlot, WR, 6-0 175, Patterson, 2015: In attendance last Saturday night was one of the premier prospects in
Charlot, who is being recruited by LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond, is fond of LSU. But after NOLA.com spoke to him after the game, it is apparent Charlot also is fond of
Eric Thomas, LB, 5-9 225, John Curtis, 2013;
Tulane has four commitments from John Curtis players, including defensive back Richard Allen and offensive lineman Brandon Godfrey. The recent commitments of Badie and Thomas also put Tulane in a better position with highly touted John Curtis linebacker Duke Riley. It looks like the Green Wave is righting the ship and should be contenders in the near future.
Bo Scarbrough, ATH, 6-2 215, Northridge, Ala., 2014: The Alabama commitment contacted LSU late last week in hopes of being able to make a trip to Baton Rouge for the game vs. the Crimson Tide. Scarbrough, along with friend and Southern Miss commitment James Cox, initially was told there would not be space for him because tickets already were promised to other prospects. Then LSU found the space to accommodate him and Scarbrough made the trip.
But his visit didn't go so well.
While many prospects were being courted by LSU coaches and toured the field pregame, Scarbrough did not get the same attention, which resulted in him feeling slighted.
LSU has not been an active player in Scarbrough's recruitment, so it did not feel the need to roll out the red carpet for him. He has since returned to

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- New Indiana State football head coach Mike Sanford was officially introduced by Director of Athletics Ron Prettyman today (Dec. 17) at a press conference held inside Hulman Memorial Student Union Dede 1 at 2:00 p.m. (ET).
A large crowd of Sycamore players, supporters, administrators and other Indiana State head coaches were on hand for the official announcement.
The full video of the announcement is embedded into this article.

The victim, whose identity was withheld pending notification of his family, died at the scene around 8:30 p.m., according to Acting Sgt. Adam Grossman, a State Police spokesman.
The crash happened after the victim, driving a Honda Accord, apparently lost control of his vehicle near Exit 129 on the highway, Grossman said. The vehicle swerved right and then left before slamming into the center median.
No one else was hurt, according to Grossman, who said the cause of the accident remains under investigation.

How Much Acetaminophen Can You Take At One Time?
I know not to go over 4000mg A time, But what about at one time?
When I want too I take 1500mg At one time. Thats OK right?
honestly, i would modify to ibuprofen... any kind, they are adjectives basically like by brand... except if you get a liquigel it will start to work faster.
ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory as in good health as a pain reliever, and most twinge that you might take an otc pill for is a result of inflammation .
i would just take 800mg at a time unless you are within serious pain . afterwards start with 800 or 1000, afterwards add more ifyou necessitate to later.
Yes, to be exact quite alright.
in reality it is too much. 1300 mg taken at once is the highest allowed dose for adults next to healthy liver/kidneys. if you give somebody a lift it for pain and 1000-1300 mg does not bring nouns - you need something stronger, but not complex dose, it will damage your liver . what you can do is pinch acetaminophen and ibuprofen unless you have a condition contained by which NSAIDs (nonsteroid antiinflamatory drugs) are contraindicated. also keep contained by mind that body gets used to any type of analgesic, so if you've be taking acetaminophen for a long time the same dose that used to aid before might not be forceful now. also get sure your liver function is within regular limits, because as stated above acetaminophen DOES affect the liver and kidneys (overdose may exact failure of these organs) when taken surrounded by high doses for a long interval of time.
In regards to ibuprofen, it is not better than acetaminophen , it is different. if affects your gastrointestinal tract, increases risk of bleeding because it act as a blood thinner. so... before you want to take any medication beyond the "recommended dose", do consult your physician. even those meds that give the impression of being "harmless" have side effects
why are you taking so much? it take a toll on your liver or kidneys. (tylenol hurts one and advil hurts the other, can't remember which is which) you need adjectives your organs to survive. when i sprained my ankle so bad, the Dr give me an advil perscription of 800 m per pill. and it was 1 every 6 hours. that would be my put a ceiling on at any given time. but if your Dr. says it's ok, after it must be ok. good luck to you
There's never a time when you entail to take 1500 mg of acetaminophen , near the possible exception of the first dose when you're planning to take it for several days for confusion control. When it's used for pain nouns, there's a plateau effect at about 900 mg for the average-sized personality, and additional drug offer no additional dull pain relief. I hear this stuff adjectives the time, but when it's studied in a controlled environment, the new decrease contained by pain is coincidental. For instance, surrounded by migraine studies pain other goes down after treatment , including placebo. So personal experience next to "I have to filch 3 pills to do any good" is actually a combination of placebo effect and post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc logical error.

We today greet the Wisconsin Badgers, otherwise known to some of my Big Ten beat-writer friends as The Luftwaffe because of their propensity for deployment of statuesque Aryan-looking big men. Every year coach Bo Ryan, a man who actually can look at times like the fierce, beady-eyed Badger mascot Bucky, has some shaven-head guy like Brian Butch or Joe Krabbenhoft (the perfect name) or Dave Mader whose main job is to crack heads. He might score on occasion, too, but that's almost incidental.
This year the Luftwaffe look is captured by Jared Berggren, a 6-10, 240-pound widget who appears harmless enough but will probably end up making the winning basket when the Lions host 'Sconsin at 4 this afternoon in the Jordan Center.
More the part of traditional UW mixmaster is aptly named Mike Bruesewitz who looks like a 6-6 version of Carrot Top. The Ralph Malph hair will be shaved by next season, guaranteed.
Speaking of next year, we can look forward to maybe the ultimate Badger specimen, 7-foot Ivan Drago clone Evan Anderson who's currently redshirting. Can't wait. Schnell!

TALLASSEE, Alabama -- A Tallassee man being held in the Elmore County Jail after confessing to the sexual abuse of more than eight children is now on suicide watch.
According to a WSFA report, Steven Norman Conrad Jr., 31, is charged with more than 80 charges of sexual abuse, rape and sodomy. Much of the suspected abuse started as many as 11 years ago.
Four of the eight suspected victims are his own children. The other victims are children of women Conrad has dated. All of the children are believed to be under the age of 12.
Conrad's wife, 26-year-old Brandy Jean Conrad as well as 56-year-old Helen Hazel Gantt and 41-year-old Jeffery Mark Ray have also been arrested. Conrad, Gantt and Ray have all been charged with failure to report the sexual abuse of a child.
Investigation into the abuse started April 22. Police say there could be more victims identified.

Assigned-Day Watering
Whether it's raining in June or dry in December, Truckee Meadows Water Authority always values responsible water use. That's why we encourage Weather-Wise Watering. We are the experts in Weather-Wise watering and we are here to help.
How It Works
Weather-Wise Watering works to mimic Mother Nature, watering only what your yard needs while avoiding water waste. Running the sprinklers every other day under the Assigned-Day Watering schedule is the best way to keep your turf healthy while keeping your water bill low.
Assigned-Day watering only applies to your sprinklers. Run them when it's cool and not windy, usually early in the morning. Turn sprinklers off when it's raining.
Water Weather-Wisely on your assigned days. If the last number of your home or business address is:
- Even (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8), run the sprinklers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
- Odd (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9), run the sprinklers on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
- Watering Times: Normally we ask that you shut your sprinklers off between noon and 6 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
- Also, give your sprinklers a rest on Mondays, as it is a day to replenish and maintain our water system
Drip systems and hand watering of trees, shrubs, flower beds and vegetable gardens are permitted any day of the week. Please use an automatic shut-off nozzle when using a hose.
Outdoor watering increases water use of the average residential customer by four to 10 times during the summer and Assigned-Day watering helps level off peak days.
Use the "Water & Wait" Method with Sprinkler Systems
On your watering days, water until puddles begin to form, then stop and wait for the water to soak in, about 1-2 hours. Repeat until water penetrates 6-8 inches deep, which you can determine by easily pushing a screwdriver into the damp soil.
Water Deep and Less Often with Drip Systems
Hand watering or running drip systems to irrigate flowerbeds, vegetable gardens, trees and shrubs is permitted any day of the week.
Need Help with Your Irrigation Controller?
Below are links to several online irrigtion contoller manuals by manufacturer.
If you do not see the type of controller you are looking for, try a websearch for your manual.

For the past hour or so, I've been reading horror story after horror story about Dish Network customers getting the royal runaround when trying to give Dish Network more of their money for HD equipment and programming.
I lost an hour of my life today trying to deal with a Customer Service rep in India whose English was hard to understand, but his knowledge of the products was even worse.
It's not bad enough that Dish wants to charge your credit card a month before it gives you what you want. But this fellow signs me up telling me that installation of my new equipment will be in about 10 days. Then after asking me to "wait one moment" at least once every 10 seconds (they are instructed to do that), he says the first installation date he can get me is March 25!!!!!
At that point I elect to cancel the whole thing. That takes another 15 minutes and the admonition to call back since cancellation takes at least 24 hours. By the way, if you submit an order for the 622 and decide to cancel because of the long wait for installation, Dish will hit you with a $49 cancellation fee.
Now here's where it gets more interesting. I decided to call up a local Dish retailer. She told me she has access to 622's but right now is only giving them to new Dish customers. I relayed my tale of woe and she gave me an 800 number to get to a real live English speaking customer service person. So I called. And this person told me that 622's are not available at this time and she had no information on when they would be available.
Charlie Ergren may be "Mr. Out Front" with his TV show, but he'd be better served spending more time in training competent customer service representatives than getting more face time on Channel 100.
Between Dish, DirecTV and the cable companies, you have an aggregation of some of the worst customer service in any industry. I'd gladly welcome a new player to this industry who would remember that the customer comes first.

My week in photos took me from the very hot to the wonderfully cool. Let me tell you about it.
Gary Price has a great home for not quite perfect Alpacas. It's a cute story and watching the Alpacas get sheared made me feel cooler on a day that was up into the 90's.
The story by Laura Frazier, the Beaverton City writer, isn't quite up yet but you can get a sneak preview of the photos that will go with it. It's a new park in Aloha that has a little bit of everything in it.
Have you ever stepped into a hockey rink in August? It's a welcome relief to the hot temps outside. Everything about it was cool. Especially the young ladies who were at the hockey camp for girls. Amazing to see children so young putting in such good effort at a sport and having so much fun.

I can't seem to figure out how to transfer files between mainframe and PC linked via modem. I know how to receive files, as in download from Pavillion, but obviously the host has to be prepped to "send" the files first. Is there a command to do this? "Get" seems to move files to my home subdirectory on the host, but that's it. I know I can simply "capture" what appears on the screen in a text file. Is that the best that can be done? Is it dependent on communications software? I use something by Crosstalk that came with the modem. Also have PCTools, which appears to have fewer features than Crosstalk. Any hints would be appreciated. Tks de Bill, W3XU.

While rainfall has eased up Wednesday, the results of three previous days of storms have multiple creeks and rivers at flood stage or expected to exceed flood stage today.
On the Tennessee River at Whitesburg Bridge, the river's flood gauge was at 16.9 feet at 1 p.m. on Wednesday and rising toward flood stage of 17 feet.
The river is expected to crest at more than 20 feet on the flood gauge Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service said, and it forecasts moderate to significant flooding before the river falls below flood stage Friday afternoon.
Madison County could see flooding in the backwaters of Redstone Arsenal. Morgan County will likely see hundreds of acres and several homes flooded.
Rita Weeks, EMA officer in Morgan County, said as of Wednesday morning, no homes have been evacuated, but the Morgan County Rescue Squad is on standby in Lacey's Spring to assist if the need arises.
The rest of the county's biggest flooding issues have occurred along Flint Creek, mostly in Hartselle, she said. The Morgan County Sheriff's Department closed Collins Hills and Red Oak roads at Alabama 36 East, Summerford Orr Road at Huckabee Bridge Road, North Mill Road and Mud Tavern Road.
"Right here in the Decatur area, it seems to be doing OK so far," Weeks said.
The weather service said flooding mainly has occurred in low water crossings that typically have excessive runoff from heavy rainfall. Rainfall has ranged from 3 to 6 inches through Wednesday morning with another 1 to 2 inches possible through Thursday.
Jackson County appears to have the most road closings, primarily due to flooding from Paint Rock River.
At 2 p.m. today, the river stage was 18.6 feet and rising, with a
crest of nearly 20 feet expected by early Thursday night and not falling below
flood stage (16 feet) until Saturday morning. When the river reaches 20 feet,
water will cover portions of Alabama 65, the weather service said.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Department has closed several county roads impacted by Paint Rock River: 31 in Pikeville, 109 in Larkinsville, 354 in Pisgah, 177 at New Home Church, 151 at the river bridge and 142 and 507 in Paint Rock Valley.
Mike Ashburn, acting Jackson County EMA director, said the flooding has stabilized today as rain slacked up but that will change as Paint Rock River rises.
"We've had no new calls today about flooding," he said. "Of course, we're still worried."
Marshall County also closed several roads impacted by Paint Rock River, said George Harwell, EMA operating specialist. The closings were mostly in District 2: Mill Road, Butler Mill Road, Snead Road and Babe Wright Road at Cathedral Caverns Road. Harwell added they are monitoring Fish Trap Road near Woodville, which is at greater risk as Paint Rock River rises.
The flood warning continues for Flint River at Brownsboro until Friday afternoon. At 1 p.m. Wednesday the stage was 19.3 feet and rising. Flood stage is at 17 feet. The weather service expects the river to rise to nearly 20 feet by midnight and fall below flood stage late Friday morning.
Paige Colburn, EMA officer in Madison County, said there have been no homes affected by flooding so far, but there have been a couple road closings. In Gurley, Stone Drive just east of Brock is closed as is Billy D. Harbin Road in New Market, from Henry Taylor Road to Walker Lane.
Colburn urged motorist not to try crossing flooded roads and noted that 63 percent of flood fatalities in 2011 were to motorists.
"It make look like just a couple of inches, but it can rise quickly, or part of the road is washed away or there are big potholes," she said.
Eddie Gilbert, EMA officer for Limestone County, said his county had no flooding problems Wednesday morning. If road issues occur, he said they likely will happen on Mooresville Road along Limestone Creek.
Water levels elsewhere in the region
- Big Nance Creek near Courtland in Lawrence County rose from 3 feet to 14 feet, right at flood stage. It is expected to cause minor flooding south of town as it surpasses flood stage Wednesday afternoon. Flood levels are expected to crest at 15.5 feet Thursday morning and drop below flood stage Thursday night.
- Indian Creek in Madison rose from 3.5 feet to more than 8 feet, about a foot above flood stage, but was declining Wednesday.
- Big Wills Creek near Fort Payne jumped from less than 5 feet to more than 12 feet, more than a foot above flood stage, but had declined to about 8 feet Wednesday.
- Limestone Creek near Athens rose from 3 feet Sunday to 9 feet Wednesday morning.
- Flint Creek in Morgan County rose from 8 feet Sunday to 13 feet Tuesday, but levels were declining Wednesday.
- Aldridge Creek in South Huntsville rose from about 6 inches to more than 5 feet and appeared to be leveling Wednesday.

By admin on Jan 16, 2012 in CELEBRATION
D r. Martin Luther King would have turned 83 this year, as a birthday tribute, we discovered some interesting facts about Dr. King's murder. Did you know there was a Martin Luther King Conspiracy Trial in 1999? What should have been labeled the "trail of the century" — with very little media coverage, the public does not know that this trial took place and what the outcome was. How did the trial even come about: In 1977 the family of Martin Luther King engaged an attorney and friend, Dr. William Pepper, to investigate a suspicion they had. They no longer believed that James Earl Ray was the killer.
For their peace of mind, for an accurate record of history, and out of a sense of justice they conducted a two decade long investigation. The evidence they uncovered was put before a jury in Memphis, TN, in November 1999. 70 witnesses testified under oath, 4,000 pages of transcripts described the evidence, much of it new. It took the jury 59 minutes to come back with their decision that Loyd Jowers, owner of Jim's Grill, had participated in a conspiracy to kill King, a conspiracy that included J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the Memphis Police Department (MPD), and organized crime.
The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame. After the trial, the son of Dr. King, Dexter King was subsequently asked by a reporter, "there are many people out there who feel that as long as these conspirators remain nameless and faceless there is no true closure, and no justice."
He replied: "No, he [Mr. Lloyd Jowers] named the shooter. The shooter was the Memphis Police Department Officer, Lt. Earl Clark who he named as the killer. Once again, beyond that you had credible witnesses that named members of a Special Forces team who didn't have to act because the contract killer succeeded, with plausible denial, a Mafia contracted killer"
The news of the verdict, in one of the most important national security trials in modern history — but so little is known about it. For more information and to read transcripts from the trial go here.

Our Heat-Wave Moment With Anna Wintour
Last night we boldly approached Her Bob-jesty for an interview at the MoMA party. And she said more than one word to us!
We've been feeling extra gutsy lately (rising temperatures do strange things to people), so when we saw Anna Wintour at last night's MoMA "Party in the Garden," we approached her for an interview. Usually when we approach La Wintour at parties, she gives us a one-word answer and dashes off before we can spout off any more questions. But last night she must have realized we wouldn't rest until we got at least twenty times as many words out of her, so she was particularly chatty (again: the heat! It makes people crazy!):
Hi! We're from New York Magazine —
You people are everywhere this week. Just don't ask about Sean Avery — that's what you asked me yesterday.
Okay, how are you beating the heat?
I like the heat.
When it's this hot?
I like it.
What about it do you like?
I just enjoy it. I don't like to be cold.
Have you seen Stylista on YouTube?
Is there any chance of a Vogue reality series?
[Purses lips] Mmmm… [Makes a sound that sounds like a mixture of "over my dead body" and "I hate that you're asking me this question"]
And … scene.

It has taken me eighteen years to understand the spiritual development stages enough that I could write about them.
You see, first I ran into them by surprise. The story about that appears in my book
Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind
At first I was not really willing to accept that these spiritual development stages were really true. I was a little angry at first because if they were true, then I had a lot of work to do because I was not (and still am not!)at the last stage.
Then, as I thought it over, I began to realize that they did have some validity. They did match up to my own experience and that of other people I had known.
Reading all the
different theorists
was no easy trick. It took me ten years just to get through a particular one of those books!
I don't mean ten whole years. But I would start and stop, start and stop. It was not easy going.
I feel knowing about the stages has really enriched my insight about religion and spirituality - in my own case and in terms of what I see going on in the world.
So I have decided to make it easier for my readers. I have tried to condense the works of the into more simple terms that most people can understand. I have named the four stages Lawless, Faithful, Rational, Mystic.
The link below attempts to explain what this stage is about. Of course there are no clear-cut distinctions between the stages so nothing you find here can be engraved in stone. I have to admit I really do not have much experience with this type of person, to my knowledge. Interestingly Peck said that as many as one adult in five falls into this category. I guess lots of these people have had me fooled!
- The Lawless (click here to read about this stage)
According to experts, what we are calling The Faithful stage tends to arise some time in childhood. In many cases it lasts only until adolescence but sometimes a person remains at this level for the better part of a lifetime. The link below takes you to information about this stage in some very general terms.
Of course there are no clear-cut distinctions between the stages so nothing you find here can be engraved in stone. My only hope is to impart a general understanding of what the various experts have determined is typical of people who fall into this style of spiritual development.
- The Faithful (click here)
According to experts, what we are calling The Rational stage of spiritual development tends to arise some time during or after adolescence - rarely before. It may last only a very short while, or it may last a lifetime, depending on life circumstances. Click on the link below to read a very general explanation of this level of spirituality.
- The Rational (click here)
According to James Fowler, what we are calling the Mystic stage is "unusual before midlife."1 (Fowler - Stages of Faith, p. 198.) But it would seem that some people show tendencies toward this spiritual style from an early age - hence the suspicion that personality type may be just as significant a factor as maturation in its formation. Click on the link below for a very cursory explanation about this complex, fascinating, and counter-intuitive stage.
- The Mystic (click here)
Here is chart that might make it easier to compare the stages one with another:
If you want more detail, then go to the original texts, some of which I have listed here. My explanation of the spiritual development stages is just to introduce you to the topic.
Once you read my easy stage summaries, you will probably want to learn more. My upcoming book Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind is an easy, painless way to do this--or you can study all the works of the various
theorists listed.

The School of Business will soon be home to the newest, freshest food eatery on campus!
ZeBi, a new bistro featuring freshly made sandwiches, salads, soups and gourmet grab-and-go, is moving into the space currently occupied by the Simply to Go Cart next to the lobby. ZeBi, short for Zest Bistro, will also feature trade coffee and organic teas, as well as fresh baked goods and a few entrée items.
The lobster mac and cheese is a must, we hear!
The bistro will be a convenient alternative for hungy students, and it will accept meal plans.
Construction will begin Monday, May 14, and the new bistro is scheduled to open in August during the first week of the fall semester. The current Simply to Go Cart will be closed during construction.
The hours have not been set yet, but Sodexo initially expects to operate the eatery from morning to early evening to serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
While this is the first ZeBi in the Southeast United States, there are a few located at other universities, such as George Washington University in Washington DC. It's a new concept from Sodexo that focuses on fresh food and sustainability. The School of Business bistro will feature a small seating area and will open to the outside patio just off the lobby.
Watch a video of the George Washington University ZeBi.

|Benedict's "post-Constantinian" Strategy?
|Written by Sherry
|Friday, 18 April 2008 08:05
David Gibson's piece in the New York Time on Pope's Benedict's efforts to restore Catholic culture ended with these thought-provoking paragraphs:
"In the Christian ideal, God has no grandchildren; faith must be ever new. But then how does the church encourage Catholicism as a culture while keeping the faith fresh and alive? It is an age-old question, the search for a link between the collective sense of a people and the requirement of individual sanctification. Answers have ranged from Kierkegaard's attack on Christendom to H. Richard Niebuhr's seminal work, "Christ and Culture."
For his part, Benedict seems to embrace a kind of "post-Constantinian" strategy that attempts the tricky two-step of, as the pope said, "cultivating a Catholic identity which is based not so much on externals as on a way of thinking and acting grounded in the Gospel and enriched by the Church's living tradition." Benedict's approach is so novel -- as is the ever-changing world that the age-old church now inhabits -- that it's hard to know what to call it. Vatican expert John Allen has tried out labels like "evangelical Catholicism" or "affirmative orthodoxy." Yet neither seems to encompass Benedict's goal of making an Old World religion pulse with the vitality of a New World spirituality.

Onondaga, NY -- A year ago, students and parents showed up in masses at Jordan-Elbridge school board meetings, ready to fight to keep the winter drumline and other music programs from being cut this year.
One girl told board members they would be breaking apart a family if such cuts were made.
A video featuring students in the drumline and music programs was shown, and a parent handed each board member a binder with letters from students and alumni who talked about how the district's music program "molded" their lives.
But when the 2011-12 budget passed last spring, there was no money to set aside to run the winter drumline, colorguard or other co-curricular music and sports programs.
A couple months later, district administrators took a closer look at the cuts, just before the school year was about to begin, and agreed to restore some of the money to bring back co-curricular programs, including the winter drumline and colorguard. But the amount wasn't as much as the programs had received in years past.
The district budgeted $2,500 for the winter drumline, about $1,200 less than the year before, Superintendent Jim Froio said. That helped pay the stipends of a drill instructor and two co-directors, said marching band Director Katie Daniels, who oversees the winter drumline and winter guard.
The rest -- entry fees for competitions, the cost of equipment and props -- was left up to the 29 students, their parents and the community. They raised $7,100 and came together in a way like no other season.
J-E senior Nicole Kuhn came up with the idea of selling cookbooks, with recipes from each students' family, as a way to raise money. Earlier this month, the drumline and color guard hosted a talent showcase. Students sang, danced and played the trombone, flute and guitar.
Those fundraisers, donations and other money collected by the Jordan-Elbridge Band Boosters have helped keep this season afloat, Daniels said.
The winter drumline, now called the Jordan-Elbridge Indoor Percussion Ensemble, placed first in all four competitions this season.
At its home show Feb. 25, J-E placed first, beating out the much-larger Cicero-North Syracuse High School where Froio had been the executive principal until last summer.
It was at that show, Froio said, that he realized what the school and community could have lost.
"I said to my wife, 'Thank the Lord we were able to bring those programs back,'" Froio said. "You don't realize the gravity of those decisions from afar. You have to see the programs in action to really understand how important these programs are in the lives of kids."
Sunday afternoon, Jordan-Elbridge culminated its season at the New York State Percussion Circuit Championships at Onondaga Community College. Sunday Jordan-Elbridge took third place out of six lines competing in the PSA Class. It also took the award for top snare line, Daniels said.
Daniels, a 2001 Jordan-Elbridge graduate, said the students have been rehearsing two to three times a week since early November, and one theme has stayed true this entire season: Every time they go out and perform, Daniels said, the students are excited to show their families and the community that they can persevere.
"The kids have gone through so much, they have fought through so much," Daniels said. "They've been through staff changes, budget cuts and all the J-E drama everyone knows. They've had to deal with a lot and every time they show up to school, they have sticks in their hands ready to go."
Sunday's results
Here are the results, by class, of how local drum lines finished, including place and points scored:
Marching Division:
PSA Class: Jordan-Elbridge, third, 89.65 points; Baldwinsville, fourth, 88.73; and Cicero-North Syracuse, Fifth, 86.75
PSA2: Phoenix, first, 85.33; East Syracuse Minoa, third, 81
Stand Still Division:
PICA Class: Central Square Middle School, first, 81.05; Liverpool Middle School, second, 79.50
PSASS: Central Square, first, 89.30

Skip to comments.Gore Refuses to Take Personal Energy Ethics Pledge
Posted on 03/21/2007 1:45:06 PM PDT by Dirtysnowbank
click here to read article
The funny thing is that he flys all over the world in a private jet, which dwarfs his home energy use, yet that never seems to get mentioned.
Sorry Big Finn I could not stomach watching anymore BS and Lies from Carbonist Algore
I still think he has jumped the Shark...and has pissed off real scientist and their work...this is War
I benifit a great deal from his lies to mfg market and sell many energy savings devices and systems for many industries...my goal is to use technology to save cash and build Capital for operation and purchase of equipment, cars trucks and industry without Govmint Laws needed by the buyer to justify the need or usfulness for the energy Saving Products...
The truth is, America's mature industries have hidden behind
unions threat and government subsidy to do the R&D and investment in better management, and equipment to lead their competition and win the day with good ole Southern Know How!
Lastly, the cost: Global warming is now big business. Thousands of individuals and even some Fortune 100 companies stand to make tens of billions of dollars.
I was on the floor opposing the 93 Clinton-Gore tax increase of $32 billion, but the cost of Kyoto and other CO2 reduction schemes are estimated to be over $300 billion, ten times the cost of your 93 tax increase. And whos paying for it? Those on fixed incomes and the poor, who as a percent of their monthly budget spend five times more on energy than the average household.
Largest tax increase in history 10 times Clinton-Gore of 93 and the poor pay for it and the science isnt there. We just cant do that to America, Mr. Vice President and were not gonna.
Does anyone else feel that Gore has taken a page out of movie marketing? Now, you too can own your very own carbon offset just like the savior of the planet.
Well, I, for one, am glad to follow Algore's principles. I am going to drive l0 mph under the speed limit all day tomorrow; then the next day I will get to drive l0 mph over the speed limit, and my carbon credits will be even. Now I just have to figure out what to say when that nice cop stops me.
None of those. It was the last time he picked an accent and stuck to it.
"I have a new moniker for Gore... a Carbonista."
JR - Does that go in the FR dictionary for 2007?
South Park good. Gore bad.
"Everybody is equal. But some are more equal then others."
George Orwell, Animal Farm
Required reading for every 6th grader. It reverses CIS (Communist Indoctrination Syndrome).
Slimey as two oysters screwing in a bucket of snot.
He has no redeeming characteristics.......at.......all.
But grade schoolers cannot read "Animal Farm",
because the pig offends the Muslims.
Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual
could believe them. Orson Wells.
Well done!
View the BBC's "The Great Global Warming Swindle".
Someone should ask Gore how many extra planets we'd need if we all wanted to live as he does?
1 in 2 people will be senile before they die, the other 2/3 will be senile later.
Most excellent appellation for the Gorey-man
Not at all. That was just what is known as "the set up."
I am sure that Gore fell for it, hook, line and sinker.
Did she really do that? Sorry, I have been traveling and have not seen any coverage.
Yes, she did.
I've got to say that there is no more petty person in the Senate than Boxer.
Between her and Feinstein, I am ashamed of my 'representation' in the Senate.
Algore won't adhere to the demands he places on everyone else dwelling on the planet? That isn't very honorable. (Neither is making untold profits scaring little kids with some science-fiction propaganda film.) It sounds like only rich, fatass RATS will be able to pollute to their hearts content - eh? So much for your glaciers...
