American Express Prepaid Card took money from my bank account but has NOT credited my prepaid card El Paso , Tennessee *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account that someone wrongfully takes it from you!
I first tried to load my card using the "Vanilla" reload card and spent about 45 minutes in the retailer trying to get the money to load. The store clerk and I had to get on the phone with the "Vanilla" customer service, as well as AMEX and after almost an hour, I still didn't get the money loaded. They recommended that I try using the "MoneyPak" reload card instead. After finding another retailer that sold "MoneyPak", I was finally able to get the money on my card. However I was less than thrilled about spending $4.95 on the "MoneyPak" each time I needed to reload, so I decided to link my AMEX to my bank account, so that I could transfer the money directly from my account. There is no fee to reload that way however, it does take 5 business days.
Last week I initiated a reload from my bank account to my AMEX Prepaid Card to pay for my monthly gym dues, which I have set up to charge my AMEX card automatically. AMEX took the money from my bank account 2 days later and I waited the 5 business days for the money to show up. On the 6th day (today) the money is still NOT in my account! I called customer service and basically they told me that there is a a technical issue and I just have to wait it out. He estimated another 3-5 business but according to him, he could not give me an exact date.
Excuse my French but... WTF? Wait it out??? I have to wait to have my money loaded on the card while they fix some technical glitch?! That's like an employer saying they can't give you your paycheck for the week. Sorry, but that's not cool! And in the meantime, I am being charged declined card fees EACH TIME my gym tries to take out my dues and the card declines. This is absolutely ridiculous! This brings back memories of my horrible experience with Greendot. I could have just left my money in my bank account if I would have known this was going to happen.
Also, the customer service here is a JOKE! The one number designated for this card is to a call center in overseas and let's just say the representatives are less than competent. They read of this script and provide no REAL support at all. This 1-866 number is the only way to contact customer service and AMEX doesn't even have an email support form or address for this card, which shows how much they could care less about the service they provide for this card. I tell you what, when my money finally does hit... I'm pulling it off and that will be the last time I use this card!
Bottom line, this card is just like all the others prepaid cards... COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE! American Express wants you to believe that this card is better because it's from "American Express" and that they are revolutionizing the prepaid card industry, but it's NOT! They have put no real effort put into making this card effecient, they put no real effort into offering solid customer support and they didn't even put much effort in to the online website designated for this card (i.e. it's not easily navigated, you can't download or print transaction history, etc.). This little "technical glitch" is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing that can happen because your money is just "out there" in cyberspace and you can't access it until they get their sh-t together. That should not be happening when it comes to people's money.
AMEX threw this prepaid card together like a bologna sandwich and slapped their logo on it! Stay away from this card... and all prepaid cards for that matter. Again, incidents like this could really put you in a bad way if you've loaded money that you really need access to. You never know one minute to the next if something will happen with your funds and personally, I can't operate like that. From now on, I'll just stick with my debit card from my bank!
P.S. And as for you AMEX, my money better be on my card within the next 5 days... or there is going to be a serious problem! I am NOT the type of consumer you want to mess with.
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

ISLAMABAD: Though this Eid-ul-Fitr was celebrated with great enthusiasm, the suffering and plight of those affected by the floods was not forgotten. Traditionally Eid is supposed to mark the end of Ramadan, a day of relief and rejoice after a month of testing and abstinence. For the people affected by floods, this day does not mark the end of testing times. Their endurance will be tested for well beyond a month. The month of Ramadan is meant to be a lesson in empathy, and our urban citizens celebrated its passing with altruism.
Residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi started Eid by offering their morning prayers at mosques and then proceeded to visit family and friends. Children wearing colourful clothes and playing games flooded the streets. Oman Shafique, a college student, said that he and four of his friends donated their 'eidi' to a relief camp helping those affected by the floods, "Its important not to forgot those in need this Eid," he said.
Throughout the day, people met their friends and relatives, exchanging gifts. "After praying at the local mosque, I went to my friend's house where all of us had lunch," said Rizwan Hussain, a resident of Satellite Town. Families were seen enjoying the outdoors as a large number of people came to picnic spots like Pir Sohawa, Daman-e-Koh and Rawal Dam. Food stalls were colorfully decorated in the sprit of Eid. "We have come here to enjoy the weather and to have some delicious Gol Gappas," said Ambreen Qaiser, a resident of F-8.
The influx of people at these parks and restaurants resulted in the overcrowding of parking lots making it difficult to find parking spots. "We had to wait for hours before we could find parking space in Jinnah Park," Ahmed Nawaz, a resident of Rawalpindi said. In addition to the regular posts, the Capital Police set up special pickets to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. That, however, did not stop the long queues and traffic jams.
A large crowd of boys was seen dancing outside the cinema on Eid day. Their playlist manager, Danyal, yelled over the loud music booming from his car's woofer to say, "Punjab government has made tickets so expensive we can't afford to watch a movie, but this is an amazing spot to party."

We're really excited to be hosting. It's a little added pressure on us, but we're excited that we can perform well. —United States under-20s captain Will Magie

MURRAY — Americans, as a whole, have yet to embrace rugby.
Despite being one of the world's most popular games, the United States never has taken enough of an interest to become a world power. However, thanks to investments from the International Rugby Board and USA Rugby's focus on youth player development, a shift is happening.
This change for the better will be on display in Murray for the next 13 days as the United States — and more specifically Utah — will host seven other nations in the Junior World Rugby Trophy tournament for national under-20 teams.
Each squad (United States, Tonga, Chile, Russia, Japan, Georgia, Canada and Zimbabwe) will play three pool matches. The winner from each of the two four-team pools will play in the championship on June 30.
"The winner here qualifies for Tier I next year, so it's a tournament of great importance to the IRB because it provides a vehicle for players, coaches and management to prepare for rugby at an even higher level," said tournament director Tom Jones. "It's here this year particularly because the U.S. is one of the great good-news stories in the world today with magnificent growth in numbers and quality of play."
All the matches of the Tier II tournament will be played over four days at Murray Park's rugby stadium (located near State Street and 5300 South). Play starts today with a quadruple-header at noon and ends with the Americans taking on top-seeded Tonga at 6 p.m.
United States under-20s captain Will Magie, who also played in the tournament last year, says the Americans are "quietly confident."
"They're the pre-tournament favorites," Magie said of the Tongans. "We're seeded, I think, seventh. Everything is pointing in the other direction, but we're hoping to get an upset and win.
"We've had two good wins against Canada, so we know we can perform well against the teams in this tournament."
BYU freshman Tua Laei, who recently joined the team, is among the 26 to make the final roster.
"We're really excited to be hosting," Magie said. "It's a little added pressure on us, but we're excited that we can perform well."
The United States won't be the only team that will have the support of the Utah fans. The state's significant ethnic Tongan population will no doubt be pulling for the team from Tonga, where a rugby ball is a common household item.
"You grow up, and after the bottle it is the second thing you handle, arguably," Jones said. "Tonga comes in as the favorite, yes, but it will be a close one."Comment on this story
Jones says that's because other countries are closing the gaps in numbers of players, the quality of the game and the professionalism of the coaching and preparation.
"You don't get many upsets in rugby, but we anticipate the games will be close here, and some upsets will happen."

"I wish I didn't already know how it's going to end." That was the thought that kept going through my head while watching Zack Snyder's live-action adaptation of "Watchmen", the limited series comic book that, along with Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" made comic books respectable again. With their landmark graphic novel, writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons deconstructed the superhero and made them human – or in some cases, less than human – by offering in lieu of the usual good guys and bad guys in tights, instead psychopaths in masks, sexually dysfunctional has-beens, and a God that could no longer bring himself to care about the going-ons of man, a species he once belonged to. And with his 2009 movie "Watchmen", Zack Snyder has accomplished the impossible: successfully adapted the comic book that everyone said could not be adapted. Take that, Alan Moore!
"Watchmen" the movie, like "Watchmen" the comic book, is set in an alternate 1980s America, a world where Tricky Dick is still President and the U.S. and Soviets hang on the precipice of mutual nuclear annihilation, with only the superhuman being Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) keeping the wolves at bay. Scientists keep a doomsday clock to mark what everyone believes is the coming nuclear holocaust, and superheroes that do not do the bidding of the U.S. Government have been outlawed. This doesn't stop the vigilante Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), who prowls the streets dealing out justice one broken bone at a time. When Rorschach's latest case brings him to the murder of one Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the vigilante discovers that the dead man was in fact the alter ego of the government superhero The Comedian. The murder, Rorschach gradually discovers, is part of a larger, grand conspiracy that may just destroy the world.
Running over two and a half hours, "Watchmen" is everything an Origins Movie should be. There is perhaps only 40 minutes of actual plot in the entire film, with the rest made up of origin stories for the individual superhero characters, each one seemingly more screwed up than the last. Some are more fantastical than others (Dr. Manhattan's accidental birth, as narrated by the world's only superhuman himself), while others are just ugly in their everyday realness (Rorschach's). The only character who doesn't really get much of an origin is Patrick Wilson's Nite Owl, a Batman-type if Batman was obsessed with owls instead of bats. The lack of an origins story for Nite Owl is somehow strangely appropriate, given that the character's alter ego Dan Dreiberg is perhaps the most normal of the bunch, if you can get past the whole fixation with owls and various other inadequacies. Of course, once Dreiberg dons his owl mask and form-fitting costume, he seems to develop superhuman abilities like everyone else.
At the other end of the superhero spectrum is Rorschach. You won't find a more twisted superhero from the world of comicdom, but that won't stop you from rooting for the guy anyway, if only because he seems to be the smallest character in the entire film in terms of abilities, resources, and physical stature, but in many ways he is the strongest of them all. An uncompromising, brutal vigilante bent on cleaning up the cesspool of a city in which he grudgingly resides, Rorschach has no qualms about punching out cops or kicking in doors if it serves his purposes. You're not supposed to like this guy, but you can't help but love him. Which is why, as the movie progressed toward its inevitable conclusion, I hated the fact that I already know what awaits our trenchcoat vigilante. Oh, Rorschach, you deserved so much more, alas, alas…
Fans of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel will get a kick out of "Watchmen's" opening credit sequence, which features moving "still" shots of the superheroes of the past, including many of the Watchmen when they were younger. The sequence progresses through the decades, revealing the fates of many of the heroes (some retired, but more often than not they met grisly, sad ends) up to the time of the film. Along the way, we glimpse the careers of the first Silk Spectre (Carla Gugino), who passes on the tradition to her daughter Laurie (Malin Akerman). It is Laurie's presence that keeps the last remnants of Dr. Manhattan's humanity committed to saving mankind from itself, and it is without her that he resigns the world to its fate. There is a noticeable contingent of reviewers who seem to hate the Spectre girls (and the actresses portraying them). I don't get the hate. Both Akerman and Gugino are just fine in their roles, and Akerman oozes sexuality. Really, what's not to like?
There are strong performances by all the cast members, including a star making turn by the formerly unknown Jackie Earle Haley, who will no doubt become a household name within a week. Haley's Rorschach is as strong a character as they come, as frightening in his single-minded pursuit of justice as he is desperately pitiful. Billy Crudup, as the superhuman Dr. Manhattan, is mostly CGI, and though it took a while to get used to Crudup's voice (I always expected Dr. Manhattan to sound older), as a character who has been detached from his humanity for too long, the lack of emotion in Crudup's voice work makes sense. The other notable acting work is by Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian, quite possibly the vilest so-called "superhero" to ever grace the big screen. Or is he? Maybe he was doing the wrong things for all the right reasons. Or maybe he's just a sociopath as everyone believed. You never really knew for sure. Morgan does a wonderful job of bringing The Comedian to 3D life, warts and all.
The one character in the movie that I haven't touched on is Matthew Goode's Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias, the smartest man on Earth. Goode is decent in the role, but lacks gravitas. I'm not sure if the role could have been improved with another actor, or maybe it's more the fault of the writers than Goode's. Although Veidt is present throughout the movie, whether it's through his mega empire (he is apparently the richest man in the world as well), commercials promoting his products, or his work with Dr. Manhattan, he never really made much of an impression on me. He's just … there. Even a brief assassination attempt on Veidt comes across as disjointed and uninteresting. Then again, maybe that's the whole idea behind the character – always there, but never really there.
Zack Snyder movies are always visually stimulating affairs, and "Watchmen" is no exception. Snyder, who has been on a slow-motion kick lately starting with "300", has continued the love affair with "Watchmen", and as with the previous film, had he shot half of the movie in regular speed he could have shaved 30 minutes off the running time without missing a single scene. Snyder takes full advantage of the film's "R" rating, throwing in a number of gruesome violence that rivals even those found in "300". When the superheroes jump into action, the fistfights are bloody and you can feel every bone breaking. Silk Spectre may look like a supermodel, but she's inclined to take your knife and jam it through your neck. The mild-mannered looking Nite Owl breaks legs and arms with the best of them. Rorschach may be the psycho of the crew, but he's not the only badass when the chips are down. Needless to say, kids need not apply. "Watchmen" is a gloriously gory, violent, and R-rated beatdown.
Anyone who has scoured the Internet for "Watchmen" news at one point or another has no doubt read about the controversy regarding the ending, which has indeed been altered for the movie. And you know what? This ending works better. Yes, Alan Moore is a genius, and much of the "Watchmen" graphic novel is indeed brilliant, but really, a giant psychic squid? Really, Alan? The absence of a giant squid aside, the intent of the graphic novel's ending has remained intact, as well as the death of a major character. Overall, fans of the graphic novel not named Alan Moore should love what Snyder has done here. He has crammed 12 issues worth of intricate comic book storytelling into a two and a half hour movie. Is it perfect? Nope. I wouldn't go that far. But I will say that it's pretty damn close.
As an introduction to the Watchmen universe, Zack Snyder's film is a flourishing success. If the film does the kind of business that has been predicted, we may be looking at the birth of a viable franchise. Since "Watchmen" is set in the '80s, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to set the sequel in the modern day. The possibilities for more continued adventures of the Watchmen, or perhaps their offspring are unlimited. And hey, I'm sure Alan Moore wouldn't mind. But even if he did, it's not as if Hollywood has paid attention before, so why start now? If this thing makes the mint that the experts believe it will, get ready for sequel whispers in the next week or two. You heard it here first, folks: "Watchmen 2: No More Mister Nice Blue Guy."

Rain, equipment malfunction force untreated sewage into Crow Creek
The city of Fairfield's automated wastewater system shut down Saturday, which caused 459,000 gallons of untreated sewage to flow into Crow Creek.
A press release from the Department of Natural Resources advised people and their pets to stay clear of Crow Creek for another day.
Wastewater plant superintendent Shawn Worley said a piece of equipment at the wastewater plant malfunctioned, which forced the system to shut down at about 5 p.m. Saturday. He said a plant operator who was on call at the time noticed the overflow and reported it to Worley.
Worley added that the sanitary sewer overflowed at four other sites because of the large amount of rain during the weekend. He said those four other sites were discovered Sunday.
Worley said the discharge from the plant was actually well below the pollution level the plant's permit allows. He said the massive amount of rainwater diluted the sewage.
"We do tests on the creek and we found no adverse effects," he said.
Fairfield's backup system for running the plant, which was used before the programmable system was put in place, was still running the facility as of Monday morning.
The press release from the DNR indicated a computer expert is investigating why the new system malfunctioned.

i just installed a USB scanner..then began freezing all the time. windoze showed no conflicts.. then aprox 48 hours (and a ton of reboots) later i booted her up and got a beeeep.. and my puter said there was a conflict between SB 16 emulation and a PCI IRQ...and it was not loading the SB 16 emulation. so next (since i was still freezing up) i disabled my scanner and USB port in the hardware profile. btw.. when i installed the USB port and scanner it moved alot of things from one IRQ to another (creating the conflict.. hehehe). windoze STILL claims there is no conflicts.. and shows nothing else sharing an IQR with the SB emulation. my puter still beeps and says there is one (even tho it moved stuff yet again when i disabled those 2 things).
so basically i get conflicting info on my conflicts.. grin
ok that's the background.. i guess my question really is about FORCING devices to live on certain IRQ's.. (cuz obviously windoze can't get it right).. or.. should i sit there reinstalling stuff till it gets it right? ooorrr... should i just assign an IRQ to USB in my bios.. and if i do would that create problems with PnP and windoze configuring my scanner.. or any future problems.
i see no logic in how/why windoze changed alot of my settings in the first place.. and i even had a couple free IRQ's.. i still do! .. or ones taken by PCI steering and no device.. can i disable the ones not in used so maybe windoze will recognize and use those IRQ'S?
all ideas on this will be greatly appreciated

I have always found it is best to let windows do what it wants. Trying to force irq and ports is not only a pain in the ass, but most of the time it does nothing but make you more pissed off.
I recommend removing the sound card totally (all software and physically remove the card), reboot, then re-install the card and it should work.
On the other hand, if your sound card is hard coded (via a jumper or internal settings) to the same port as another device, you have to either move the jumper or use the software that came with the card to change the settings to known available ports.
Basically I would not try to move the usb ports from their default port, but rather move your sound card.

funny thing is.. i looked in the history file for all the hardware and originaly USB was set to IRQ 5.. ok.. turned out i had a bad motherboard.. when new one was installed USB was disabled in BIOS. (dang i wish it woulda just stayed where it was in the beginning).
what i don't understand (and think is lame) is *why* (windoze needs a why key.. hit it to ask why did you do that). basically what it did was change a buncha stuff around NEEDLESSLY. before i enabled USB i had one device on IRQ 11.. after i had 4 devices.. and 2 comletely free IRQ's. (maybe this should be a rant..grin) and no.. IRQ 11 is not where the conflict is. it's on 10 and only one device is on 10. so i got conflicting info on my conflict (which btw didn't show up for 48 hours after install.. windoze mutates while i sleep).
maybe i'd be better off sticking with my old trash-80.. LOL.

Here's a simple fix that (when it works at all) works well. Check to see if your BIOS has a setting something along the line of "PnP OS(Y/N)?" If it does, tell it "N", which forces the BIOS to do all of the port/IRQ generation for the system, instead of letting Windows do the work. I had the same problem recently, with WinMe moving devices from no-conflict positions to conflict positions (and then lying about the conflicts) in trying to install a NIC and PCI modem, and telling the hardware to handle the whole shooting match brought order from the chaos.
2/14/2001 (9:03 pm) by admin
Of course, most PCI devices these days really don't care what IRQ you put on them and thus it doesn't matter if they share the IRQ lines, this is some old mith from ISA days and don't apply here.
If you are running Windows, and have current PCI devices, then who cares about what IRQ they are one because you are getting the best performance possible anyways.
The only other option to improve performance these days (and why some people may not be getting the performance they expect) is to enable DMA access (which is a fancy term for, I don't give a rats ass about IRQ settings because I can access the memory directly) which are generaly disabled by default.
The next person that goes on about IRQ conflicts with modern PCI hardware will get a link the the PCI standards white papers and data sheets which explains the above in much greater detail then you can ever imagin.

" Compensation and pension benefits were set with external expertise, provided by then leading human resource company, Hewitt and Associates (now Aon Hewitt)," said BC Ferries chair Donald Hayes, in response to controversy over a pension of $313,000 for CEO David Hahn.
BC Ferries board of directors justified a pension of more than $300,000 for chief executive officer David Hahn when he turns 62 in 2013 by referring to a consultant's report on compensation that looked at comparable positions in companies in the public and private sector.
BC Ferries refused to provide the report Wednesday, saying the consultancy firm was not prepared to release the study "for proprietary reasons."
One of the consultants involved with the report said later he would not talk with a reporter about work he did for any of his clients. However, what clients talked about was their own prerogative. "If they want to talk about their own affairs publicly, then they have a process for that," he said.
Regardless of reluctance on both sides to release the report, B.C.'s Office of the Comptroller General shed some light on the process used to set executive compensation at BC Ferries in a report released in October, 2009.
The BC Ferries board of directors renegotiated Mr. Hahn's employment contract in 2006 to increase his performance-based compensation and pension entitlement. Former comptroller-general Cheryl Wenezenki-Yolland looked at the process for setting the package of salary, pension and other benefits as well as the level of compensation in the 2008/09 fiscal year.
She found the process flawed and his compensation to be excessive. It was largely based on comparisons to private-sector companies rather than the public sector, which inflated what he received. She discovered that targets for payment of performance bonuses were set too low to be challenging and were substantially exceeded, enabling Mr. Hahn to receive 100 per cent of the maximum.
The compensation program at BC Ferries is reviewed every two years. As part of the process, a consultant looks at several comparable companies to set a benchmark against other organizations. Ms. Wenezenki-Yolland reviewed a 2009 executive benchmark study to assess how the board handles its responsibilities.
She discovered that executives as well as directors on the BC Ferries board had significant input into the selection of companies used for comparison. The process raised questions about the independence of the consultants' benchmarks, she stated.
She decided the consultants had been ill advised by the executives and directors. The Liberal government had turned BC Ferries, formerly a Crown corporation, into a quasi-independent non-governmental company in 2003. However, the company operates primarily in a monopoly environment and is private only because the province structured it in that way, Ms. Wenezenki-Yolland wrote. "Therefore the best comparators [companies used for comparison purposes]are public sector organizations operating in similar monopolistic environments."
Instead, the majority of comparisons in the benchmarking study were large private-sector organizations in competitive markets.
How many? About 90 per cent, she stated. The comparators were large corporations such as Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Nike Canada Ltd. and McDonald's restaurants. BC Hydro, the Vancouver Airport Authority and the Vancouver Port Authority were also on the list.
Comparing compensation among public-sector entities has significantly different results. Ms. Wenezenki -Yolland compared compensation for executives at BC Ferries to that of four public-sector entities ranked on BC Business Magazine's list of top 100 B.C. private, public and Crown corporations, in terms of revenue. BC Hydro was ranked sixth on the list, ICBC, 8th; B.C. Lottery Corp, 13th and WorkSafe BC, 19th. BC Ferries was ranked 43rd.
Ms. Wenezenki-Yolland found that Mr. Hahn's total compensation was more than double the average of what the other four chief executive officers received. Her report offers little comfort to those who wish to justify Mr. Hahn's annual compensation package of about $1-million, plus retirement benefits, based on the "external expertise."

Like all other Red Wings fans I'm just emerging from a bad dream turned reality that was being eliminated by Pekka Rinne and our own defensive lapses in the first round. Now that the pain and embarrassment has lessened slightly I feel its time to get back to business and start getting pumped for a long Wingless summer that will hopefully culminate into bigger, stronger, faster, scorier lineup that Ken Holland should bring us all.
Click the jump for more
I'm not a downer, and I'm certainly not in the same camp as most when they say that this team just doesn't have what it takes to compete anymore. I am however a realist. As much as I would love to see Holland go out and grab both Suter and Parise this July 1st, I just don't see it happening. Zach Parise and Ryan Suter if they even make it to free agency are the only 2 sparkly shiny diamonds sitting atop this summers giant mound of coal that is the free agent market. There will undoubtedly be another team that can and will offer them much, much more than the Wings will be willing to offer.
I do expect the Wings to get bigger and nastier by trying to lure a big rugged 4th liner by the likes of Paul Gastaud, Jarret Stoll or Zenon Kanopka. They probably will try and add some scoring. They may take a chance on Semin. They may try and turn Penners career back on track (hopefully with a no pancake clause), or they may go after an unproven guy like PA Parenteau.
The Wings will be contenders, and with the right mix will go for cup 12 for the 22nd season in a row.
I just ask you all one thing come July 1st. Don't get your hopes up for a major splash. If I'm wrong… I'll eat that crow with hot sauce and a smile.

Michelle Wie shot a 2-under-par 142 at the US Men's Public Amateur Links qualifying in Hershey, Pa., yesterday, all but ending her chance to qualify for the 2005 Masters through the Publinx tournaments.
The only female in the field, the 14-year-old Wie finished two strokes behind winners David Bradshaw and Alex Knoll.
Had she been victorious, Wie would have been invited to the Minnesota event in July as one of two southeastern Pennsylvania representatives.
The Hawaiian ninth-grader will now shift her focus to the US Women's Open. Wie finished the morning round tied for fourth at 1-under 71 and shot another 71 in the afternoon session to finish tied for third at 142.
LPGA -- Shrugging off wilting heat and pesky insects, Giulia Sergas and Denise Killeen fired 6-under 65s to share the first-round lead in the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway Township, N.J. Killeen, 42, of Marietta, Ga., opened with six consecutive pars before posting an eagle 3 on the 481-yard 16th hole and adding four birdies.
Sergas, 24, of Trieste, Italy, drilled a 20-foot putt for birdie on her first hole and added three consecutive birdies to overtake Cristie Kerr, who is one shot back at 5 under.
European -- Spain's Carl Suneson shot 67 (for a 5-under 137) in windy conditions to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Aa Saint Omer Open in France.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Center for Contemporary Dance Inc, Winter Park, FL, USA
I am the Fine Arts chair at a Trinity Prep School in Winter Park, Florida. We are located right down the road from The Center for Contemporary Dance. Over the years of knowing and working with Craig and Dario, I have been both impressed by their artistic vision and blown away by the outreach that they do in the community. I also work with a group called the Jeremiah Project; it is an arts based program that targets at risk youth. While working with a local Boys and Girls club I met a young man who demonstrated talent and desire to learn to dance. I contacted Dario immediately, knowing that he would be someone who would find the means to scholarship this young man so that he could fulfill his dream of becoming a choreographer.
More Feedback
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Create more of an outreach for kids not exposed to the arts.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio
my lease is up on August 10th of this year. We have repeatedly asked the landlord for information on renewing our lease. First they told us that the condo association would not let us rent for an additional year.when we told them that we were going to contact the condo association ourselves they change their tune and told us that since we did not want to buy it that their son was going to rent it from them. We were told this yesterday and we have to be out by the 10th of August. There's a provision in our lease that states that we are allowed to renew our lease as long as we give them a written 30 day notice before the leases to end. This is putting us in a financial burden having to move, find a place this quickly, keep in the same school district, as well as the high expense of moving. because there is an option in our lease that says that we are allowed to renew a year and they have violated the lease by not letting us exercise the option what legal action can we take to recover the money that we are going to spend moving?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Read your lease carefully. Most "30 day notice" provisions give the tenant the option to renew the lease only with the landlord's approval. It would be rather odd if the option was yours alone and the landlord was forced to abide by your decision regarding renewal.
Contact the Columbus Bar Association through their Lawyer Referral phone number and ask for a referral for a landlord and tenant attorney.

Here is what happens when he wants to listen to Sirius on-line. He goes onto the internet using Internet Explorer and goes to: www.sirius.com At this site, there is a Listen On-line link. My client can press enter on this link and access the Sirius Player. Once there, there are three edit boxes. He inputs his user name into the first one, presses tab twice to go past the Remember User Name box, types his password, hits tab once, then comes to the edit box where he has to type in a Captcha. If he presses tab one more time, he comes to a link that says listen and type the numbers you hear. When he presses enter on that link, the numbers play. What happens after that is JAWS is dead in the sirius player window. In other words, he cannot shift tab back to the edit box to type in the numbers he just heard. He can't get any response by up arrowing and down arrowing. Alt-tabbing away from this player window and back doesn't work either. He has all windows updates, and he has all sound card driver updates. He does not have the Google Tool Bar. He has a copy of AVG 7.5 on his system, and while I'm going to recommend that he download 8.5, I don't think this would be causing the problem.

LONDON, MAY 11, 2002 (Zenit.org).- Recent evidence points up the danger to women´s health posed by contraceptive pills, including the newest versions.
The April 13 issue of the British Medical Journal published an article reporting on how Dutch doctors are being advised by their own professional association not to prescribe a new, low-dose oral contraceptive, marketed under the trade name Yasmin, until studies have established whether it is as safe as other contraceptive pills.
The new contraceptive has been available in several European countries since 2000 and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May 2001.
Last year a 17-year-old Dutch girl who had been taking Yasmin died from a venous thrombosis. Although no direct link with Yasmin has been shown, 40 cases of venous thrombosis among women taking Yasmin, two of which were fatal, have been reported in Europe, noted the British Medical Journal.
Speaking on a Dutch radio station, Frits Rosendaal, professor of clinical epidemiology at Leiden University Medical Center, said of Yasmin: "I am not satisfied it is absolutely safe." He expressed alarm that as many as 40 cases have been reported voluntarily by doctors so soon after the contraceptive was registered.
Almost simultaneously, the Times of London on April 12 published a report on how a new contraceptive pill led to the death of 15-year-old Claire Louise Stanley. The girl developed deep vein thrombosis in her legs after taking the pill and died from a massive clot in the lungs, described by one doctor as the biggest he had ever seen.
Four doctors who examined the girl did not link her deteriorating condition with the second-generation oral contraceptive, Cilest, until after her fatal collapse. Cilest, according to the Times, is popular with teens in the United States because it also helps clear skin conditions.
England also saw, earlier this year, the beginning of a legal hearing over the health dangers of contraceptives. The Guardian reported Feb. 27 that a case on behalf of 100 women has reached the High Court. The hearing is expected to last about five months.
The contraceptives under question belong to the "third-generation" contraceptive pills and involve three manufacturers — Schering Healthcare, Organon Laboratories and Wyeth. The women who are behind the case were in their teens, 20s and 30s, and were all in good health before they took the contraceptives. Seven of them died as a result of the contraceptives, while others have suffered serious damage to their health.
The Guardian explained that the third-generation pills, introduced in the 1980s, were expected to reduce health risks. But in 1995 the British government pharmaceutical watchdog, the committee on safety of medicines, after seeing the early results of three studies, issued a warning that the newer pills should be not be a first choice.
An analysis of seven studies since 1995 reported in the British Medical Journal last year concluded that the third-generation pills carry 1.7 times the risk of potentially fatal blood clots as the second generation, though the risk is higher for first-time users.
A telling piece of evidence on the dangers of the third-generation pills was published by the Sunday Times on March 3. The paper revealed that an internal study by the drug company Wyeth found that these pills, used by hundreds of thousands of women in the United Kingdom, are almost twice as likely to cause deep vein thrombosis than earlier versions of the drug.
This problem affects eight in 10,000 women using the third-generation pills, reported the Sunday Times. Wyeth conducted a seven-year study involving 3,285 women, using information from the British General Practice Research Database.
Increased cancer risks
Then on March 26, BBC reported that women who have taken contraceptive pills at any stage in their lives have an increased chance of developing breast cancer. Their risk rose by 26%, compared with women who had never used contraceptives.
Moreover, the latest research showed those who had taken the pill over longer periods increased their risk of breast cancer by 58%, compared with those who never used it. The highest increased risk, 144%, was among women over age 45 who were still using the pill.
Dr. Merethe Kumle, who carried out the research, said: "It is clear that oral contraceptives increase a woman´s risk of developing breast cancer, particularly when they are used in the later period of reproductive life."
The study was presented at the third European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona, Spain, and used data collected from 103,000 women aged 30 to 49. Dr. Kumle from the Institute of Community Medicine in Tromso, Norway, collaborated with researchers in Sweden and France to assess data from the Women´s Lifestyle and Health study carried out in Norway and Sweden.
Most of the women who had taken the pill had used the more modern brands now prescribed by doctors.
The same day as the BBC report came out, the Associated Press carried a story on the risks of cervical cancer from using oral contraceptives. According to a report in the medical journal The Lancet, women infected with the common sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer if they have taken birth control pills for more than five years.
The study was conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization. Researchers pooled data from eight earlier studies of 3,769 women from four continents. Of those, 1,853 had cervical cancer, and 1,916 did not.
The WHO researchers found that women who had taken the pill were no more likely than the others to be carriers of HPV. However, those infected with HPV who had used birth control pills for an accumulated total of five years or more were nearly three times more likely to develop cervical cancer than HPV-infected women who had never taken the pill. The increased risk persisted for up to 14 years after use of the contraceptives stopped.
Women have about a 1% chance of developing cervical cancer. Based on the new findings, taking the pill for five years or more could push that chance up to about 3% and taking it for a total of 10 years could raise it to about 4%.
Almost 360,000 women worldwide were diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1990, the latest year for which figures are available. Of those, 190,000 died of the disease. It is the second most common cancer in women.
Recent information has also come out on the dangers of the abortion pill RU-486. Danco Laboratories, which makes RU-486, has sent a letter informing doctors that six women have developed serious illnesses and two have died after taking the drug to induce abortions, the Washington Post reported April 18.
No causal relationship has been established between the drug and the illnesses in any of the cases, according to the company letter. Nevertheless, the company was sufficiently worried to send out the alert to inform the doctors who have ordered this product, and to ask them to report any serious adverse events in women receiving the drug. Women who expected contraceptives and abortifacients to bring them "liberation" may now risk getting something they didn´t bargain for.
