Help Name New Jersey's State Beverage [POLL]
New Jersey's state vegetable is the tomato, our state fruit is the blueberry. Did you know New Jersey is one of the few states without a state drink?
Florida's got orange juice, California's got wine and Alabama doesn't mess around with Conecuh Ridge Whiskey as their state beverage. Finally, Nebraska's official drink is Kool-Aid. We're not kidding with that last one, and some would go as far as calling that "homeless."
The majority of the states in the U.S. went with milk. Milk! How boring is that? We've got to do better than that. I don't care if it's water, Jersey must be represented.
Thanks to some of your great suggestions, it's time to open the voting to name New Jersey's official drink!
Everyone got creative with our states' obvious connection to blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes…and booze.
Take our poll and tell us what drink would best represent the Garden State. Voting will be open for one week. The drink with the most votes will win and Steve Trevelise and I will personally take it to Governor Christie to be considered for New Jersey's official drink.
Are there more important things the state needs to worry about? Sure. But let's mix things up and have some fun.
Vote as many times as you would like and click "Recommend" below to share with your friends so they can vote too. Spread the word! New Jersey needs a state drink. The more votes, the more attention we'll get from the Gov.

No More Remembrance
Today I want to point you to another reason the new covenant in Christ is better than the old covenant. Hebrews 10:1-3, 15-17 tells us,
For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year... But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them," then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."
Under the old covenant, God remembered the sin of Israel every year. This meant that each year the priest would have to go into the Holy of Holies and offer the blood of an animal to cover the people's sins.
Under the new covenant, God does not remember.
Boy, am I glad that when I accepted Christ, my past was erased on God's ledger. I had a pretty checkered past before I came to Christ. But if today you enter my name in God's computer up in heaven…Bayless…past…push enter…push print…God's big printer prints out nothing but blank sheets.
Why? He doesn't remember my sins anymore. In fact, if you and I talk to Him about our past before we were saved, He says, "Sorry, it doesn't exist as far as I am concerned."
That is truly good news!

Older homeless expected to die off soon
The number of homeless people in the United States is expected to plummet over the next decade as indigents who fell prey to crack and hard times 30 years ago die of premature old age, according to a new study.
This is the population, researchers said, that was created in the "big bang" of homelessness in the early 1980s, when multitudes of people fell through the safety net during a severe recession or became hooked on the then-new, cheap version of smokable cocaine. The economy recovered later in the decade and the crack epidemic eased, but many of the people who became homeless stayed homeless, growing middle-aged on the streets.
The result is that the median age of single homeless adults was 53 in 2010, compared with 34 in 1990, according to a study by social scientists led by a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. As this trajectory continues, it portends a short future for anyone living outside.

I do. But then, I am already privy to Missoula's best-kept dining secret. The University of Montana's College of Technology (CoT) has a culinary arts department, and its students run a restaurant that, because it's funded by the state, is not allowed to advertise (so as to not be competition for the private sector). I only know that it exists because I've taken a few classes there myself.
Sandwiched in a corner between the grill counter and the student dining tables in the CoT's main building on South Avenue, the Hunter isn't much to look at. Its institutional carpeting and high ceilings are softened by a canopy of rustic wooden poles and slats, but the AV equipment cart (for morning lectures) at one end quashes any pretense that you're in a restaurant. Each day the short-order students serve up breakfast from 8 to 10 and lunch from 11 to 1 (including french fries and potato chips they peel and cut themselves), while the Hunter does a full lunch menu (appetizers, soups, entrees and dessert) of international cuisine that changes every week—on the recent Tuesday that I dined there, chopsticks were set on the table for the Thai/Vietnamese dishes; one week later, all the offerings would be Mexican.
At 12:30 in the afternoon, there are only a few customers—me, an elderly couple, a pair of teenagers (possibly from Sentinel High next door, rather than the CoT) and two UM employees—with but a single server, 21-year-old Nicole Taranto, who is a student in the five-week "Dining Room Procedures" class (she doesn't get to keep her tips). A kohl-eyed native of New Jersey who grew up in Bozeman, Taranto is a transfer from the main campus, having spent two years as a journalism major before deciding to embrace her love of food.
I order Thai iced coffee (sweetened with condensed milk and steeped with star anise and cinnamon, $3) and check out the menu, knowing that Taranto can discuss what's on it with unusual authority. Not only has she probably tasted all the dishes (is there anything worse than a waiter who hasn't?), she's also cooked at least a portion of them, depending on which other five-week classes she's already taken. In addition to "Dining Room Procedures," the program's "station" classes are "Meat and Vegetable Cookery," "Soups, Stocks and Sauces," short-order (officially called "American Cookery"), "Garde-Manger" (cold items) and "Baking."
"My favorite things we make all year," she says of what I order, a $5 mixed appetizer plate ("Taste it all!" the menu suggests) with beef satay and peanut sauce, a salad spring roll, a shrimp quenelle on sugar cane and a steamed "lotus bun" with char sui pork.
Many students struggle with the program when they first enroll, but Taranto wasn't one of them.
"What surprised me was how many people do think it's too hard," she says. "But I knew cooking wasn't as glamorous as the Food Network makes it seem."
Taranto wants to open her own restaurant, but probably not for seven to 10 years. After finishing the program she hopes to spend three months in Europe, and is applying for a five-month job in Antarctica (to pay her student loans), as well as a prestigious internship at Disney World.
The knock on eating at a culinary school establishment, of course, is that the kitchen is still learning. Mistakes are bound to happen (including on the menu, which on this day offers something called a "croque monsure"). But I know firsthand what it's like to have Thomas Campbell, Tom Siegel and Aimee Ault, the school's three chef-instructors, chide you for not spot-cleaning a plate with vinegar, or describe the color of your too-cooked green beans as "military," or dismiss a dish you spent two hours on as "diner food." And I was only in the introductory class, where no one but the teachers and your fellow students eat your cooking. No one in the station classes—which, together, make a single working kitchen—wants to send out average food or shoddily presented plates, probably even more so than in many local restaurants.
"The types of kitchens you have [in Missoula], it's about getting things out in a timely manner," says Oliver Fresquez, a student in my intro class with 14 years professional experience (most recently at the Montana Club). "Here it's about the perfection."
Of course, both the teachers and the students also know I'm in the dining room (sorry, no Ruth Reichlesque disguise). They would want to nail it for a former classmate even if I wasn't also writing for the Independent. And sure enough, the mixed appetizer plate, which also includes a fiery-sweet delicious nuoc cham dipping sauce, is great. The beef satay is tender, and the shrimp quenelle, which has been mixed up in a Robot Coupe (food processor) and steamed, then grilled, has really balanced flavor. The only thing I don't enjoy about the meal is that I'm not one of the people making it.

Skip to comments."Fletcher's Flop": How the Courier-Journal Assesses KY Legislative Session}
Posted on 04/15/2004 6:42:50 AM PDT by Theodore R.Edited on 05/07/2004 6:47:06 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
A new governor's first legislative session is supposed to be a crowning moment, in which an election mandate is transformed into progress. In Ernie Fletcher's case, it was a flop.
There are plenty of excuses, including the fact that his party hasn't run the executive branch in more than three decades, thus doesn't have much current experience on which to draw. Also, unprecedented ill-will paralyzed the legislative branch, with Senate bullies and House incompetents jockeying for political advantage.
(Excerpt) Read more at courier-journal.com ...
This sums up the Courier-Journal's position - ALWAYS more revenue for the state to spend. I'm confident Governor Fletcher will deal with the revenue issue in a special session and take the "cut government" route. This is exactly why the CJ is starting it's attack now.

Re: Duffords of Pennsylvania
In reply to:
Re: Duffords of Pennsylvania
Casey Stafford 1/18/03
Since my last post in January I have found some new (for me) info which may be interesting for you too.
I have found an 1830 census record for Philip Dufford in Luzerne Co., Newport Twp., which is definitely Philip Jr.. Also in this census (as in 1840 and 1850), there is an older woman in the household, who is named Elisabeth Dufford in the 1850 census. This suggests that her husband (who you say was also a Philip) died before 1830, and not around 1845.
I have browsed the same township in 1820 and found absolutely nothing that looks like a Dufford -- but did find the family of my Philip Dufford's wife (Elisabeth Gruver)living in that township: Michael Gruver.
The 1840 Butler census-- Philip Dufford-- image first lists an older man, but this mark has been erased and is not counted in the subtotal at the bottom of the image, supporting the 1830 census.
This all would seem to prove that my Philip's mother was Elisabeth-something, but I haven't been able to prove the Philip Sr. name yet. Do you have a reference for that? Quite confusing, 2 Philips married to 2 Elisabeths!
Also, in the 1830 census, Philip, then 20, also has a young boy in his house, aged 5 - 10 (son or otherwise). This child is also in the 1840 census, but disappears in the 1850 census where there are 4 children named. I couldn't find a Dufford in Butler Co matching this age, but who knows.

Statement From Senator Young Regarding Passage of Budget
"This budget fiasco shows exactly why we need to regain the Senate Majority. State government is desperately in need of checks and balances, and out-of-control taxes and spending need to be stopped. The people of this state have had enough of Albany's destructive shenanigans.
Unfortunately for taxpayers, the New York City-controlled politicians who currently dominate Albany have struck again. I opposed their budget mess because it hurts families and economic recovery.
Over the last two years, this leadership have raised taxes on the average New York family by about $5,500 at a time that they can least afford it.
Higher taxes, more spending, no job creation initiatives, and an extremely late budget -- all negotiated in secret by three men in a room from New York City-- there is nothing good about this budget. It raises taxes on clothing, does nothing to correct suffocating property taxes, doesn't reform Medicaid, and steals tax credits that create jobs in Upstate and diverts them to the film industry in New York City.
Tax and spending hikes kill jobs and economic recovery. We need to turn the state around. New Jersey just passed a 2 percent property tax cap. There is no reason why New York can't do the same. I will continue the fight for property tax relief, along with mandate relief for schools and local governments, Medicaid reform and a spending cap. We desperately need fiscal responsibility and accountability.
We can get people back to work, have career opportunities for our young people so they don't have to leave to find jobs, make our state a more affordable place to live and work, and have a brighter future if the right policies are put in place. I'm more committed than ever to changing the direction of the state."

I will trade for Peavy because Marshall needs to go to the bullpen and the health of the rotation is unclear, as if they can stay healthy:
Cubs get Jake Peavy (they need to get his contract out of their hand)
Padres get Jeff Stevens Randy Wells Welmington Castilla Kevin Hart.
Trade Mike Fontenot to the Mets:
Mets get Mike Fontenot
Cubs get Manuel Mayorson (minor league shortstop, who can play second), Jay Buente (Minor league pitcher)
Trade Aaron Heilman to the Yankees:
Cubs get Mark Melancon J.B. Cox (minor league pitchers)
Yankees get Aaron Heilman (they need relief pitching)
Trade Neal Cotts to the Indians:
Cubs get a PTBNL
Indians get Neal Cotts
Trade Jake Fox to the Red Sox
Cubs get Clay Bucholtz
Red Sox get Jake Fox Aaron Shafer
DFA David Patton and bring him back to the Rockies.
Starting Rotation:
Big Z
Jake Peavy
Ted Lilly
Ryan Dempster
Rich Harden
Closer Kevin Gregg (we know Pinella is not going to take him out)
Set up Carlos Marmol
7th inning Angel Guzman
Long relief for lefty Sean Marshall
Long relief for righties Jose Ascaino
Righty Clay Bucholtz (got him from Red sox)
Righty Jeff Samardzija (call him up from Iowa)
Starting Lineup with positions when Ramirez gets returns:
Soriano 2B (how bad can he play second, he is not good in left either)
Fukudome CF
Hoffpauir LF
Ramirez 3B
Lee 1B
Bradley RF
Soto C
Theriot SS
Bobby Scales (backup to 3B, 2B)
Koyie Hill (backup to C)
Ryan Freel (backup to 3B, OF)

I know all that won't happen but I think that will make the Cubs a better team.

Suspicious fire investigation
Tue, 05 Apr 2011 23:38:08 GMT —
Several suspicious fires broke out Monday night in the Sleepy Hollow/Puckett Area. The Fire Marshal's office is now investigating. Luckily, they were small brush fires, no homes were damaged and no one was hurt. The fires started around 10:00pm Monday night and for about two hours firefighters put on seven fires. Starting in the 7500 block of Elmhurst, 3400 block of Tripp, 7600 block of Sleepy Hollow, 5300 block of Fulton, 4300 block of Charles, 3900 block of Eaton and the corner of Westlawn and Carolina. Most were brush fires. But one did spread to a nearby shed, a vehicle also caught fire. Investigators are now trying to figure out what happened.
" Anytime you have an usual looking fires it 's going to get the attention of the Fire Marshal and his investigators. Obviously, multiple fires at the same time in multiple areas certainly looks unusual it doesn't happen that often so it's going to be investigate by the fire marshals office. We don't have all the facts just yet, so it might be a little to early to say what it is," said Captain Wes Hall, Amarillo Fire Department.
If you have any information on these fires, you're asked to call the Fire Marshal's office at 378-3025 or Amarillo Crime Stoppers 374-4400.

Adjacent Routes
The superb arete, climbed on its right-hand side, manages to be both powerful and precarious.
I don't think this is V8, more like V6 for beanpoles and V7 if you're short. Greg only gave it V8 when he did it because he used a nails sequence, which despite being duff was actually really hard. And also not the first ascent, which as far as I know was Ryan Dempsey, unless anyone knows different?
Yes, it was Ryan. And V7 is about right. Some old geezer even flashed it, so it can't be V8!
this problem was done by myself after joe wilson pointed it out to me as a project. as far as anyone was aware it had not been climbed. it was in the summer of 2000.

Be wary of another empty promise from Congress
When Congress was debating Obamacare in 2009, we heard a lot of promises from members of Congress about what the bill would do. Congress routinely promised us that Obamacare would provide universal health care coverage, while simultaneously creating jobs, benefiting the economy, and driving the cost of health insurance down. We were promised that if we liked our health insurance or our doctors, we could definitely keep them.
The reality has been a stark contrast to those hollow promises that Congress made a few years ago.
We have learned since then that we will not achieve anything close to universal coverage. And the budget neutral bill will, in fact, add $1.7 trillion to the deficit.
After failing to deliver on any of those Obamacare promises, Congress is now coming to us again with a lot of empty promises this time on the issue of amnesty.
But can we trust our members of Congress?
During the discussion about S. 744, the amnesty bill, members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have made really big promises. They are promising that we will achieve border security before we give amnesty to any of the 11.5 million illegal residents in the country, but they are very fuzzy on the details of when, how, or even if they will require a fence to be built. They are promising that this bill will have a positive impact on the economy, but, again, they are being very vague and not providing answers to any of our cost-analysis questions.
We need to remind our representatives in Washington, including Rep. Gloria Negrete McLeod, that the government works for us, and demand more than empty promises this time around.

Honor Jesus when he was actually born
Dec. 25 is when most Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him). But seeing the picture of snow in Jerusalem on the Dec. 13 Page A2 of the Daily Bulletin reminded me that, in the New Testament (Luke 2:8), Jesus is reported to have been born when the shepherds were staying in the fields with their flocks at night. Clearly, December was too cold for shepherds to be sleeping outside at night, so based on Luke 2:8, Jesus was not born near the end of December.
Chapter 19 in the Quran (Koran) is named in honor of Mary, the mother of Jesus. It says that when Mary gave birth to Jesus, there were ripe dates on the palm trees. Dates start to ripen and are harvested in the area of the Dead Sea only from August to September.
But Dec. 25 is the birthday of a god the Roman sun god, Sol Invictus. This is why the birthday of Jesus is celebrated on Dec. 25 he just replaced the sun god.
The real question is: if Christians know a holiday is based on some pagan gods birthday, why do they still continue to celebrate it? Dont they consider this disrespectful to Jesus? What if your birthday was celebrated by all your friends and family on a day they all knew was not really your birthday? How would that make you feel?
In the interest of honoring Jesus in the season closer to his actual birth date, why not move the date back four months? At least stop holding it on the birthday of the Roman sun god.
At the very least, it is more respectful to Jesus to remember him in the month when he was most probably born. Unless the countrys retailers wont go for it; in which case, it will become just another example of Jesus being trampled in the mad dash for the almighty dollar.

SIHH 2015: Harmony Dual Time
from the press release
On the occasion of the 260th anniversary of its founding, the Manufacture Vacheron Constantin unveils the seven first models of a new collection called Harmony. Issued in limited editions, these eminently contemporary timepieces feature a new cushion shape and a design inspired by one of the brand's first wristwatch chronographs introduced in 1928.
All Harmony models launched for the 260th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin are limited editions with certain components engraved with an arabesque motif inspired by the motifs found on the balance cock of Jean-Marc Vacheron's first watch from 1755.
Regular production models will follow without this engraving and with different design elements
Harmony is a contemporary collection par excellence, intended to house new Manufacture movements and unusual complications, designed to meet the demands of a lifestyle in perpetual motion.
Firmly in tune with the times, the dual time function is one of the most useful and most sought- after complications among both men and women.
To meet these expectations, the Manufacture Vacheron Constantin has developed and produced the new self-winding Caliber 2460DT dedicated to this must-have function. Three new references, two for men and one for women, are equipped with this new movement driving the hours, minutes, seconds along with dual time and day/night indications.
To further improve the user friendliness of this timepiece in any situation, this elaborate movement incorporates a remarkable innovation: all settings may be done by the crown in both directions, without any risk of damaging the mechanism. This caliber comprises a special stop seconds device ensuring a more accurate time display. Moreover, the ribbed crown also ensures smooth and easy handling.
Like all creations from Harmony, these three new timepieces are certified by the Hallmark of Geneva, a guarantee of provenance, craftsmanship, durability and expertise. Presented to mark Vacheron Constantin's 260th anniversary and issued in limited series on this occasion, the Dual Time and Dual Time features an oscillating weight adorned with a commemorative motif forming delicate scrolling patterns. Specifically created by the brand's designers to set these exclusive editions apart, this unusual motif also known as "fleurisanne engraving" is inspired by the arabesques adorning the balance-cock of the oldest pocket watch by the Maison, signed by Jean-Marc Vacheron in 1755.
Vacheron Constantin Caliber 2460DT with its generous 40-hour power reserve is composed of 233 parts, all hand-decorated in keeping with the finest watchmaking traditions. The two masculine versions appear in a generous cushion-shaped case in 18K white gold or 18K 5N pink gold, while the feminine variation in 18-carat white gold features a daintier size and a bezel delicately set with 88 diamonds totalling 1.20 carats. On an opaline silver-toned dial graced with gold or blued leaf-type hands, the blue-painted numerals typical of the Harmony collection ensure perfectly clear local time and dual time readings, while the sun and moon symbols on the day/night indication are made of gold.
Subtly combining functionality with elegance, the Dual Time models embody the eminently contemporary nature of the new Harmony collection.
The Harmony Dual Time is limited to 625 pieces for each case metal
The Harmony Dual Time small model is limited to 500 pieces .
The mens models have a case size of 40 mm x 49.3 mm, 11.43 mm thick
The ladies model hase a case size of 37 mm x 46.6 mm, 11.18 mm thick

Diane from Sligo tells us that she's in the middle of a reno of her granny's 1930s cottage. Sounds fun, but what's the problem? "There are a couple of dated, grubby alcove cupboards in a dark wood that doesn't go with our colour scheme (off-white walls and oak flooring). I'd like to keep these cupboards to conserve the character of the house but wonder how best to make a feature of them? The cottage is very small, so storage and a sense of space are really important."
Aha, we getya Diane. Well done on resisting the urge to pull out the old and replace with the new. We suggest you transform the cupboards into alcove shelving by removing the doors and inserting shelving into the space – even for the DIY-phobic, this is an easy job. You can add interest and really make them a feature by lining the back wall of the cupboard in a favourite wallpaper, preferably something quite bold that will stand out.
This is a perfect use for odd rolls of designer wallpaper which you can find on sale in most interiors shops. In fact, Pickit is a brilliant source of quirky and cool papers, so have a browse there too.
Finally, sand the cupboards down, apply a primer and finish in a matt paint in a light earthy tone (such as Clay by Little Green paints, pictured, or Pale Slate by Dulux easycare satinwood) both of which are just bright enough to retain a sense of light and space, but yet homely and warm enough for the country cottage feel.
Have you re-invented old wood? How did you go about it?

Interdisciplinary Case Studies
In order to introduce students to interdisciplinary thinking and learning early in their college careers, interdisciplinary case studies will be introduced to all introductory science courses. The case studies will focus on compelling, real-world problems, incorporate activities grounded in research on learning, and use a data-rich, research-like approach that develops students' ability to think about problems quantitatively and from different disciplinary perspectives by drawing their attention explicitly to questions of the sources and nature of scientific knowledge.
Interdisciplinary Case Study Examples
2007 Interdisciplinary Case Study Awards
The Hope College-Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Faculty from at least two different disciplines will develop a case study, using the disciplines to examine different aspects of the problem. Eligible departments include Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Engineering, Geological and Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, Physics, and Psychology. Case studies may be developed for the lecture and/or the laboratory part of a course.
Faculty who are awarded a case study development grant are required to attend a summer interdisciplinary curriculum development workshop. The workshop will consist of two 4-hour sessions (lunch included).Preference will be given to projects that combine physical science or mathematics with biology and build in ways for students to reflect on the nature of interdisciplinary approaches. Faculty will work with the HHMI Director of Integrative Studies in the assessment and evaluation of the case studies.
The Hope College-HHMI program goals for student interdisciplinary learning are:
• To build student confidence and willingness to approach problems from multiple perspectives
The proposed interdisciplinary case studies are expected to reflect these broader programmatic goals. The case studies should serve as an introduction to interdisciplinary thinking and learning for students. If you have any questions about investigative case studies or if you would like to discuss your ideas, please contact Dr. Joanne Stewart, Department of Chemistry, x7634, email@example.com.

LOS ANGELES, March 10 (UPI) -- There's no question about it now, there is a real "Chicago" bandwagon and it's gathering momentum two weeks before the 75th Academy Awards.
There's always the chance that academy voters will not run to form, but it seems to have become a remote possibility in recent weeks. The film version of Bob Fosse's hit Broadway musical has its credentials in order to become the first musical to take the Best Picture Oscar since "Oliver!" in 1968, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hands out its 75th Academy Awards less than two weeks from now.
"Chicago" has won the Producers Guild of America's Darryl F. Zanuck Award for best picture of 2002, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe for best musical or comedy.
Renée Zellweger established herself as a front-runner for Best Actress on Sunday with a Screen Actors Guild Award for best performance by a female actor in a leading role -- to go with her Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy.
Rob Marshall goes into the Oscars as a heavy favorite to win the Best Director Oscar, bolstered by his win at the Directors Guild of America Awards last week.
"Chicago" goes into the home stretch under the whip of Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein, who has less than one week to drive the movie to the finish line -- which arrives next Monday when Oscar ballots are due. Of all the historical precedents the movie has in its favor, perhaps none is more significant than Weinstein's amply demonstrated passion for going all out to promote his favorite projects.
The movie almost certainly picked up some votes after SAG honored Zellweger and her cast mates on Sunday. Catherine Zeta-Jones won for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role, and the cast -- including SAG nominees Richard Gere and Queen Latifah -- won for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a motion picture.
Zellweger and Zeta-Jones might march through the next two weeks as relentlessly as Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly -- the singing, dancing man-killers they played in Marshall's energetic satire on social corruption and ruthless ambition.
Gere, who wasn't nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, nevertheless said that he didn't know "what it really meant to be an actor" until he made "Chicago" with Marshall and company.
"I think we all feel the same way," he said. "We all felt we were in the 'Rob Marshall Vaudeville & Medicine show.' There's one guy that made this whole thing work and that's Rob Marshall."
The corrupt characters of "Chicago" -- including Gere's money-grubbing lawyer, Billy Flynn -- somehow managed to connect with movie fans, despite their considerable personal shortcomings.
Even Gere acknowledged that the characters are "all scumbags," but he thinks he knows why the public loves them.
"Basically because they're all human," said Gere.
Zellweger said the movie is probably benefiting from a combination of factors.
"It could be timing," she said. "It could be that Rob Marshall conceptualized it in a way that appealed to modern audiences. It's beautiful to look at. It's satire. It's fun. It's really entertaining. It's been a while since you had a movie where you went, 'Yeah! I'm glad I'm here!'"
Christine Baranski, who played the reporter Mary Sunshine, practically guaranteed Oscar gold for "Chicago." She said she felt that way since she first saw the finished product.
"I thought, 'There can't be a better movie this year. There can't be a greater achievement,'" said Baranski. "I think it will win the Oscar. But I'm prejudiced."
Zellweger wasn't so sure Sunday.
"I don't know from the process so I can't speak eloquently about it," she said. "But were sure are having a good time tonight."

A DAD has spoken about his family's decision to give permission for his daughter's organs to be donated.
When 19-year-old Leah Davies, pictured, died in a motorbike accident in 2012, her family were left with the decision of whether to let her organs be donated or not – a decision her father Andy says was made slightly easier by the fact they knew what she would have wanted.
As part of National Transplant Week, NHS Blood and Transplant launched a campaign to encourage people to inform their family of their wishes, even if they are registered as a donor.
Andy said: "Before Leah died, we had actually talked about organ donation and we knew what her wishes were. Leah donated her kidneys and her liver. We get regular updates on the people who received her organs – we don't know specifics about them, just their gender and the organ that they received.
"For me and the rest of the family, the news was devastating, but it is a small comfort that she has helped others regain their lives.
"It would have been more difficult to decide had we not known."
Leah's family set up the Love Leah appeal after her death and have raised more than £50,000 for the Home from Home Appeal, which hopes to raise £1m to build relative accommodation at The Walton Centre in Liverpool.

Debbie Valvo was outraged.
Some man from Polk County wanted her name, address, job title, age, phone number and, most irksome of all, the names of her dependents. All because she works for the Pasco School Board.
"We all understand the need for the release of 'public' information related to the Sunshine Law, but this does not appear to be a substantial, valid request," Valvo, a secretary in the maintenance department, wrote to the superintendent's office.
"Dependent information especially should be hands off. We are the School Board employees, not our families and children."
Others share her concerns.
School district employees across Florida have lodged similar complaints with their superintendents and with state lawmakers, as Joel Chandler, a Lakeland business consultant, has made the same request of all 67 Florida school systems.
Chandler already has sued Polk schools — and won — for that district's initial refusal to provide the records. And he's signed off to sue at least four others, including Hillsborough, for failing to follow through with his public information request in a timely manner.
"It's a civics lesson," Chandler explained. "I'm not going to sell the information. I'm not going to distribute the information. That's not the point. It's that they are denying public information."
That's hard for many school employees to buy.
From employees' perspective, someone is gathering a treasure trove of information that any marketer would love to own. And they want some protection.
"Even if Mr. Chandler's request was for the most altruistic purposes, I am concerned about the future of that data storage," Lecanto High teacher Martha Sleep wrote to lawmakers. "There is no control as to where it could end up. The ramifications of this problem are extensive, especially in this age of identity theft."
Officials in Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough and Hernando schools said they're looking into what information that Chandler has requested. But after a Polk judge ruled that the information was public and told the Polk district to pay the $35,000 legal bill — districts are not looking to fight.
"There's just no exemption that protects this information while it's in the district's hands," said Dennis Alfonso, the Pasco School Board's lawyer.
Legal protection
That hasn't stopped lawmakers from seeking a resolution.
State Sen. Paula Dockery, who represents parts of Polk and Hernando counties, asked the Florida Attorney General's Office to clarify whether release of dependent information would violate any laws. In its response issued late Monday, the Attorney General's Office suggested the issue was not so clear.
"Clearly, information relating to an insurance program participant's medical condition is protected from disclosure. However, there is no clear statement that such protection extends to the name, address, age or other non-medical information of such participants," Assistant Attorney General Lagran Saunders wrote.
"Due to the lack of clarity in this matter and in light of the recent decision by the Polk County Circuit Court, it may be advisable for the Legislature to clarify its intent on this issue."
Dockery could not be reached for comment. But state Sen. Mike Fasano, who represents portions of Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando, said his staff is already preparing a legislative "fix."
"It goes to information that there's no need for anybody outside the school district (to have) other than to make money or to harass somebody," Fasano said. "We certainly don't want to close the public records Sunshine Law we have completely. But we certainly want to protect some privacy of our school employees."
Chandler said he would support such an effort.
"I think it is something the Legislature should consider," said Chandler, who began his public records crusade as a lesson for his four homeschooled children. "It's something else, though, for a public official to say, 'I'm not going to give it to you.' "
If public officials willfully refuse to provide public records, he said, "That's something worth fighting over."

Lindows.com and Microsoft will argue their sides in the latest twist of a prolonged, international trademark battle before a Seattle judge on Wednesday. Lindows says that U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour has granted it an expedited hearing for a motion seeking to stop Microsoft from suing the company abroad until the case had been decided in the U.S. and to declare an Amsterdam judge's preliminary injunction against it as unenforceable and non-recognizable.
In its motion, Lindows claims that "U.S. courts have the power to enjoin persons subject to their jurisdiction from prosecuting a foreign lawsuit." Lindows says that the U.S. court has jurisdiction over Microsoft and may stop the company from "filing and maintaining parallel foreign lawsuits."

SOCHI - At the beginning of the end, Hayley Wickenheiser will walk into Fisht Olympic Stadium, her remarkable sixth time in an opening ceremony, her first time carrying the Canadian flag, and maybe then, after all that's happened in this year of difficulty, she will take a personal moment to enjoy and exhale.
She deserves that much — and maybe more — after a hockey season that has been about drama and tumult, suspicion and rumour for Canada's Olympic women's hockey team, a team that seemed to be in free fall just a few months ago.
Wickenheiser, the aging face of women's hockey in Canada, had her captaincy taken from her. Dan Church, the head coach who was supposed to lead this team into Sochi, resigned unexpectedly, according to a press release "for personal reasons."
But Church didn't really resign. He was fired for reasons quite personal, two Hockey Canada executives confirmed today. He was fired because the team had apparently lost its way and its confidence.

Lilo food war with paps!
Lindsay Lohan turned on photogs outside her posh Cali hacienda but found the yucky goo on the other foot.
When Lilo and a pal showed up home to besieged by a phalanx of flash bulb snappers, they ducked inside the house.
They reemerged, carrying handfuls of eggs and pizza remains.
Lilo then unleashed a bombardment of eggie weggs at the paps.
But the besieged press corps had the last laugh – Lohan's bad aim had left her expensive Rolls Royce smeared with dripping yellow and red slimy goo.

The Bristol Brabazon, the world's biggest civil land plane, made its first flight at Filton today. It was in the air for about half an hour, and its performance was described as "entirely satisfactory," but Mr A J Pegg, the Bristol Aeroplane Company's chief test pilot, used a more exuberant word as he climbed down the ladder. "Wonderful," he said.
The beautiful monster took the air with superb grace and extraordinary little fuss. In the taxi-ing trials yesterday it looked as if even the eternity of runway was none too long. The eye foreshortened it, and there were moments when the Brabazon looked like a great swan wondering how to take off from a village pond.
But at noon to-day it taxied to the western end of the runway - a fire engine scuttling at a discreet interval behind it like a nervous red beetle - turned, and took the air in about 500 yards. The ease and unexpectedness of it set even newspaper men cheering.
Turning north and west, the Brabazon cruised at about 140 knots and reached a height of between 3,500ft and 4,000ft. Its beauty was seen to best advantage as it turned into the sun.
Then again round the airfield, and a landing run of less than 600 yards and before it had come to rest there were telegrams of congratulation from the Minister of Civil Aviation and the Minister of Supply. Now the trials will extended to higher speeds and greater altitudes.
The aeroplane had lost its grip on the imagination: the Brabazon brings it back into the realm of the fabulous. For all its 130 tons, it looks like no inhabitant of the earth. And its enormous hangar was evidently built for no more worldly purpose than was the great Mosque at Delhi.
This gigantic machine is one of the planes conceived during the war years especially to enable Britain to regain a leading place in world air transport. Later models will have gas turbine engines driving air screws. There is a unique arrangement of engines and airscrews. There are eight engines but the appearance is of a four-engined aircraft. A total of 20,000 horsepower is available. When fully laden, the machine will have a weight of 129 tons. It is intended to carry a hundred passengers on the London-New York service at a height of 25,000 feet.
Brabazon's nemesis was economic, according to the website Unreal Aircraft. She was designed to give each passenger three times the travelling space of a modern passenger car. But the development of turboprop and jet engines meant this proved not to be necessary to make long-haul flight tolerable.

The idea of Paul Pierce in an Dallas Mavericks uniform just seems… wrong. Yet apparently it was closer to happening than we knew.
Celtics GM Danny Ainge was listening to offers and talking about maybe blowing up Boston and restarting, but the conventional wisdom was he wouldn't go through with it. But he almost did, reports Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo Sports.
"Before the trade deadline passed, the Boston Celtics had one final choice to make on the franchise's future: In a three-way deal that would've secured Josh Smith and surrendered Paul Pierce to Dallas, Atlanta wanted Boston's first-round draft pick, too….
Nevertheless, Boston wouldn't relent on the pick and the deal died on meeting-room grease boards in three cities."
Dallas with a season of Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki together next season, working in a rotation with Vince Carter, would have been interesting but a little old in a West with the Thunder on top. But that deal would have fit with their plan of shorter term deals (Pierce has one year after this). Atlanta would have gotten some more pieces for its rebuilding effort.
It's all speculation now, the deal never went down. Which is probably best in Boston.

About Logotherapy
Last Updated on Saturday, 21 November 2009 15:30
Logotherapy is based on the works of Viktor Frankl, a famous existentialist philosopher, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. He is the author of the best-seller: Man's Search for Meaning, which records his experiences in the Nazi concentration camps. Although Frankl initially was a personal student of Freud, he formed his own theory of human behaviour called logotherapy and had formulated many of his ideas before being imprisoned. Logotherapy is described as a meaning-centred psychotherapy. The word 'logos' is a Greek word which also denotes 'meaning'. The word 'therapy' originates from the Greek word 'therapia' which literally means 'service'. Thus, logotherapy is a therapy through which one can be helped to find meaning – the meaning of one's own life as many people feel that their lives are void of any meaning.
VFISA Newsletter
Meaningful quotes
We can discover meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by doing a deed; (2) by experiencing a value; and (3) by suffering. Viktor Frankl

Construction work on London's Olympic Stadium has finished and it's almost ready to go!
International inspectors laid the last piece of turf on the field of the stadium, just under three years after building work began.
Inspectors will now begin a check-up of preparations for the London 2012 Games.
But it's not completely finished and ready for action yet... there are 700 rooms inside the venue which still need some final touches.
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe said: "We wouldn't want anyone to run away with the idea that this stadium is ready to stage an Olympic track and field championship tomorrow."
What do you think of the Olympics?
He added: "With one year and a few months to go, this is a great place to be."
The surface of the running track will be laid later this year at the stadium, which is to be taken over by West Ham football club once the Games are over.
This is so the track is not damaged by cranes which may have to be used to install equipment for the Games and its ceremonies.

President Obama wants to give Jordan another $200 million for humanitarian aid because they have thousands of refugees flocking in from Syria. But, we have thousands and thousands of people without jobs and the White House can't be open for tours. Children who have raised money all year for their trips have been told the tours are canceled. Obama has blamed everyone from the Republicans to the Secret Service.
Did he stop his trip to golf with Tiger Woods, which cost taxpayers more than $1 million? And how much is it costing us for his daughters to have spring break in the Bahamas? When are Obama supporters going to open their eyes? And what about Vice President Biden? He went to the installation of Pope Francis, but took a detour to Paris that cost us $585,000 for a one-night stay at a hotel. Really?
We owe China billions of dollars, and we are throwing around money like a drunken sailor. Gee, I wonder if I called Obama he'd be able to save the Fredericktown ferry? At least that's worth a lot to many people.

So, I am here today to tell you about my new love; the Kidneybeenz burp cloths. They have quickly become one of my very favorite and most used baby items!
The Kidneybeenz are the genius creation of Jillian over at Kustom Baby Stuff. They are 100% cotton burp cloths which are perfectly shaped to sit right up against your neck and still cover the most area under the baby as possible. They are covered on one side with a fabric of your choice, and her selection is HUGE! The other side is a plush white chenille, which makes the clothes both soft on your baby's skin and super absorbent. They are the only burp clothes I use. Seriously. I actually started out with three, and then got three more so I have plenty for the rotation of feedings. I have washed mine a ton (man babies go through a lot of laundry!) and they are holding up great.
They are really reasonably priced and always adorable. Jillian will do gift sets and wrap them up as a set of three, which make them perfect for shower gifts or a gift set for a new mom. If you have a theme in mind and she doesn't have a fabric to match, she will find something to work for you! She put together two kidneybeenz for me that have owls on them. SUPER CUTE! She made us a UK wildcat one because they are our home team. She can do anything! I am telling you, they are great.
While you are at her site, check out some of the other great items Jillian has made. If you have a personalized item in mind, she is the girl to talk to. She is amazingly easy to work with and always comes out with great products! We have a pillow she made Henry which is incredible (you can see it on her site!). Just let her know what you are looking for and I am sure she can make it happen!
Jillian is offering a 10% to all Chic Shopper Chick Readers. Just let her know you heard about her over here at CSC and you will be set to go!
Win It! Jillian has generously offered to give away a set of three Kidneybeenz to one lucky CSC reader! To enter, visit Kidneybeenz and then come back here and let me know which pattern you like the most. Blog about this with a link back here and to Kidneybeenz for an extra entry, or tweet about this contest, subscribe to CSC, or stumble CSC – all for extra entries.

the food was good, but not as good as Lilly's used to be
they'd help themselves out a lot if
they found the bread purveyor that supplies Chaya Venice and

Not so much a comment as some historical musings...
I remember when Bachar did this thing and then we all saw it in all the mags and whatnot. At the time it was just another horrendous Bachar toprope done on some random weekend. A while later it started to get a pretty good rep as being really hard. Skip Guerin rolled in from Colorado, supposedly not really climbing for a while, but decided to give it a go, on top rope. Flashed the thing. Seemed really impressive at the time, and as time went forward, seemed even more impressive for the time and the era, and the condition he was in. A few years later Doug McDonald and myself decided it was time to tick this thing off. We set up the TR. I got virtually nowhere and Doug ended up getting one of the biggest gobies I had ever seen. The kind you can pour blood out of like a flesh lined shot glass. That was it for us. I don't think either of us have ever gone back and there is certainly no reason for me to visit that thing these days. The last guy I saw on the thing was Hidetaka Suzuki eons ago, and if I recall he finally led it into submission.

This is such a spectacular line. The movement is not at all obvious and I had such a great time figuring out the beta with my climbing partner, Mike Zitt. There is hardly any information online about this climb which made it even more appealing. Once the movement was figured out it was not at all bad. Figuring it out was the tough part. I made a video below in case anyone does want to see it but if you are the type that wants the fun in figuring out the movements themselves then DON'T watch it. Otherwise, give it a go. It is truly amazing. :)

|This rig is really, really hard (at least for me). Way harder than Equinox. Went for the onsight today, which was a bit of a joke; but I always make a solid effort for the onsight before working a route on lead or dropping a TR. First go on lead I got maybe 1/4 of the way up. I wish I could say it all went better once I set up the TR; but this thing shut me down. Hard. Couldn't even eat dinner in town because I was so full of humble pie. Nevertheless, this is a compelling (if short) route. Gotta go back an put in the time to figure out what the heck to do! Bachar TR'ed this the year I started climbing, and led it soon after. Respect to folks who have done this rather easily--Franklin's onsight, Guerrin's flash, and any other off-the-radar crushers.

T&T's senior men's indoor hockey players have dedicated their authoratative 7-0 over Argentina last night, in the 2017 Pan American Indoor Cup Men's Tournament final, to their coach Raphael...

Ramlogan not stepping aside
Attorney General Anand Ramlogan said yesterday that he had no intention of recusing himself from any investigation into allegations of collusion relating to litigation involving the abuse of prisoners. Ramlogan, speaking to reporters outside the National Academy for the Performing Arts, Port-of-Spain after the funeral service for former president Arthur NR Robinson, said the issue does not involve him but two independent departments in his ministry. He said the allegations raised by former Solicitor General Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell in a letter to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar does not refer to him.
The claim of possible collusion was made initially by former Solicitor General Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell, who wrote to the Prime Minister in August last year asking that she investigate the matter. She subsequently resigned in January and the Prime Minister referred the matter to Ramlogan for his investigation, which he said was completed. On Wednesday, the Prime Minister directed Ramlogan to revisit the matter even though he claimed earlier that he had investigated it and found no wrongdoing.
Ramlogan said he intended to meet with the Inspector of Prisons, the Commissioner of Prisons, the Justice Minister, the acting Solicitor General and the Chief State Solicitor to review the matter either today or by Monday. However, at a public meeting on Wednesday night, Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley says he was not accepting a decision by the Prime Minister to not appoint an independent investigation into allegations. Rowley was speaking during as public meeting El Dorado East Secondary School, Tunapuna on Wednesday, as campaigning continued for this month's internal elections.
He insisted nothing other than an independent investigation was required after claims were made that cases were being settled out of court to the benefit of a named attorney. He said Persad-Bissessar was "testing the faith and patience of the people of T&T" by not allowing for the independent probe. The Diego Martin West MP told the meeting that he intended to do all within his power, including a public march in protest, and even called on the Prime Minister to call early elections if she was not prepared to call the probe.

The Michigan Avenue Bridge was up for about 15 minutes during rush hour this afternoon as two professional golfers tried to hit a ball from the 16th floor of the Trump Tower to a barge on the far side of the bridge.
The shot was staged by the 2012 Ryder Cup, which pits a team of top American golfers against their European counterparts. It is being held Sept. 25-30, 2012 at the Medinah Country Club west of the city.
At about 4 p.m., Davis Love III and José María Olazábal teed off from the tower at 401 N. Wabash Ave. The Michigan Avenue Bridge was drawn, crowds formed and traffic backed up for about 15 minutes while Love and Olazábal tried to hit a green on a barge in the Chicago River about 220 yards away.
Organizers billed it as "a once-in-a-lifetime" golf shot. It was not immediately known if either golfer hit the target.

A former Oceanside High student is pursuing civil damages from Oceanside Unified School District and a former teacher and coach following a criminal trial that led to the man's conviction.
Corey Hogue was convicted last October of having sexual intercourse with a minor. Hogue taught physical education and coached basketball.
The complaint, filed by attorney David Peck with law firm Coast Law Group, includes claims of negligence and sexual battery.
Hogue reportedly began a sexual relationship with the student when she was 15 and a sophomore at Oceanside High.
The relationship included multiple and frequent sexual encounters initiated by Hogue, who was the girl's first sexual partner, beginning in fall 2007, the claim says.
Hogue arranged the girl's class schedule to "maintain the inappropriate physical and emotional relationship," the claim says. Hogue repeatedly tried to convince the girl that their relationship was normal and loving, until she began having panic attacks and disclosed the relationship in October 2009.
The victim suffered emotional disability and has been in counseling.
She will seek damages likely in the hundreds of thousands, though an exact figure is still being determined.
The district and its employees should have been more active in detecting the inappropriate relationship, the claim says.
Oceanside Unified owed "students, including (the victim) a duty to take reasonable steps to protect them from sexual exploitation by teachers, coaches and other employees," the complaint says. The school district "failed to provide adequate training, supervision, and reporting procedures to minimize the threat of sexual exploitation of students at OHS by teachers and coaches. There was little or no training on appropriate limits between teachers/coaches and students."
Oceanside Unified lawyer Jack Sleeth said it was too early to comment on the specifics of the case, but that any teacher should be aware of such obvious boundaries.
"I can't imagine they're trying to say that the school district needs to train a 40-year-old man not to have sex with a student," Sleeth said. "That would be pretty deeply into common sense."

Intel Develops Silicon Hybrid Laser Chip

High performance light-based computers in the horizon
Researchers at Intel and the University of California, Santa Barbara
have announced
the world's first Hybrid Silicon Laser
, or HSL. An HSL is a silicon-based laser emitting device. According to Intel, creating a laser emitting silicon chip is a breakthrough that will propel the world of computers into the light-based transmission era.
Called Indium Phosphide, the material contains properties that allow it to emit light when voltage is applied. Intel researchers were able to integrate Indium Phosphide into traditional silicon chip manufacturing techniques, thereby creating a silicon-Indium Phoshide hybrid chip -- one that could process traditional electrical signals and transmit laser light. The laser light generated by an HSL chip could be used to transmit data and thus power other silicon photonic devices said Intel.
"Silicon Photonics is a critical part of tera-Scale computing as we need the ability to move massive amounts of data on and off these very high performance chips" claimed Intel Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner. Intel said that HSL could bring along terabit-capable transmission processors that are low cost and easy to produce. Computers would be a multitude more powerful than those we use today. The technology however, is still a number of years off.
Currently, silicon chips can detect light, route light and even modulate light said Intel, but the problem is getting silicon chips to produce light. Intel is taking Phoshide lasers commonly used in other industries and bringing along new types of applications. Voltage is first applied to the HSL. The Indium Phosphide element then produces light, which then enters a silicon waveguide to create continuous laser light. Using this technique, Intel also maintains a low cost production of HSL devices. According to Intel:
The hybrid silicon laser is a key enabler for silicon photonics, and will be integrated into silicon photonic chips that could enable the creation of optical "data pipes" carrying terabits of information. These terabit optical connections will be needed to meet the bandwidth and distance requirements of future servers and data centers powered by hundreds of processors.
The application potentials for HSL chips are truly exciting. The industry in general has been talking about laser or light based electronics for a number of years already. With the development from a company like Intel -- and hopefully others like AMD -- the industry is getting the right push it needs. With multi-core processors now the mainstream, computers will only get faster. HSL devices will drive the future of computing said Intel, and things are looking only brighter. Communications technology uses a fair number of laser electronics and as the technology is refined, desktop computer and notebooks will be using the technology in the next few years as the limits of traditional silicon is reached.

Cambridge Management Group (CMG) is a recognized provider of quality Contact Center services to federal, state and commercial entities.
In February 1996, CMG was awarded an innovative contract from the Immigration & Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of Justice. This was a high profile public-private partnership whereby the INS outsourced a pilot customer service call center project to CMG. We hired and trained over 50 customer service professionals to answer inquiries from the public regarding green cards, citizenship and other immigration issues in English and Spanish. This project was initially for one year, however, due to the success of the project, the INS extended the contract for two six-month periods and sought to expand the operation to a nationwide call center. CMG's call center successfully provided quality customer service to over 3 million callers during this project.
In early 1998, CMG sold its rights to its INS contract to a publicly traded customer service call center firm. At this time, CMG also made a strategic decision of focusing on commercial customer service market. The Internet was rapidly gaining momentum at this time and seemed to be the wave of the future. CMG believed that the Internet, which was revolutionizing the world, would also revolutionize the customer service arena. Given this foresight, CMG made a strategic decision to leverage our customer service acumen and develop a web based ASP customer service solution. This served as the impetus for the development of Live Assistance in late 1998.
The development of Live Assistance was viewed as a complementary progression to the existing traditional call center services that CMG offered. CMG made a strategic choice to be a service firm vice being software one. This focus demonstrates CMG's commitment to providing the client with the best solutions possible.
CMG was awarded a subcontract in December 1998 by EDS to provide customer service support on the Census 2000 Telephone Questionnaire Assistance Program. CMG was a partner with 15 other leading customer service firms, led by EDS, on this high profile Bureau of Census, U.S. Department of Commerce Project. This was the largest voice and data project undertaken to date in global history. In this same timeframe, late 1998, CMG began the beta testing of our LiveAssistance product.
CMG was chosen as the sole partner firm to provide inbound telephone support in five languages, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, (Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese & Shanghaiese) Tagalog, and English. CMG had representatives answering calls in these languages as well as Kashmiri, Urdu, Somali, Arabic, Spanish, Bengali, and Punjabi.
CMG hired and trained over 300 temporary Customer Service Representatives to answer calls in English and four Asian Languages for an 18-hours/7 days operation in our call center. In addition, we had an austere quality assurance component whereby QA staff would silently monitor the customer service agent in the requisite languages. The duration of the project was from August 1999 to May 2000. The majority of the work was done from January 2000 to April 2000.
CMG provided call center consultation services to HUD in 2006.
