I used to imagine how people did this job without a fax machine. Later, I wondered the same thing about a cell phone, and then Diet Coke, though I somehow managed for years without it. And now I feel that way about the internet.
How in the world did we get along without the internet, especially in this profession? I'm always searching the internet for stats and old box scores, as well as stories from other papers. I guess the old-timers carried a lot of reference books around with them.
That being said, there are a handful of baseball Web sites I go to regularly. Most are for information and one if for laughs. All are a part of my daily regimen:
1. www.baseball-reference.com is the ultimate website for baseball stat geeks. It has everything, from players' game-by-game stats to individual matchups. Want to know how Craig Biggio has fared against Orel Hershiser in his career? Baseball-reference.com has it, along with details for each at-bat. You could get lost in this site, and I often do. Check it out.
2. I'm not a big fan of ESPN and its self-promoting, but the baseball index on ESPN.com is a must. Buster Olney's daily blog is a great source to find out what's going on around baseball, and it has tons of stats available as well. And it's a great place to keep up with games with its live game tracker.
3. Much of the stuff available on retrosheet.org is now available at baseball-reference.com, but retrosheet remains a great place to go for old boxscores.
4. So far, my only reason for visiting mlb4u.com is contract information on all the players, but that makes it worthwhile. Just plug in the player's last name and you'll find complete and up-to-date contract information. Here's an example of the breakdown of Carlos Lee's deal: signed 6-year deal worth $100M thru 2012 season on 11/24/06- + he receives a $3M signing bonus payable in 2007 and salaries of $11M in 2007, $12M in 2008 and $18.5M each year in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012- + the deal includes a full NO-TRADE clause in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and a limited NO-TRADE clause in 2011 and 2012- + prior to to 2011, Lee and the Astros must mutually agree on 12 teams to which he cannot be traded without his consent- + the deal includes a nominal weight clause that requires him to maintain a certain body weight- + 2006 salary: $8.5M, 2005: $8M, 2004: $6.5M- + bonuses he has earned: 15K for 2005 All-Star selection, 15K for 2005 Silver Slugger.
5. When I need a laugh, I'll watch local television sports news. Or I'll visit nomaas.org. You probably haven't heard of it, but it's a site devoted the Yankees. Even if you don't love the Yankees, you'll like the site and how it pokes fun at the Yankees … and of course, the Red Sox. The doctored pictures are the best and reason enough to return.

Rated 3 out of 5 by BENDOWANDS from Toes split after about 3 months The shoes are very comfy, i'm on my feet 8 - 14+ hours a day. Unfortunately the toes split open on both shoes, the left one was a small hole while the right one was approximately a 1 inch hole. Shoes For Crews has a 6 month defective warranty, you do have to send in shoes and wait for another pair. I recommend to ALWAYS have a backup pair of slip resistant shoes especially if you are hard on shoes like me. If you have a large big toe like me, you should probably look at a different pair. In any other cases I would recommend. As far as fit goes I'm between 12 and 13, so it depends on manufacturer. I ordered a 13 and it fit great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Curt C. from Finally!!! Finally New Balance has made a comfortable slip resistant shoe. I have been wearing slip resistant shoes for 25 years and have never owned a more comfortable pair of slip resistant shoes! I've been wearing regular New Balance for fifteen years and have been waiting for them to make a shoe for work as comfortable as their regular shoes!!! This shoe is well worth the money! If they are as durable as every other pair of New Balance that I've owned... This will be the best pair of slip resistant shoes that I've ever purchased. I will definitely be rebuying these when the time comes!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Franck from Bad experience I bought these pairs of shoes to make a change and because I was attracted by the brand. It was a bad decision. They are not comfortable and more, instead of relieving my foot pain they have worsened. Wearing these shoes, I started to have heel pain that I did not have before. My biggest regret is not having them back. I told myself that it's because I'm not yet used to these shoes that I have pain and that I have to give them time, until the period to return is over. Now, I do not use them. They are there in a corner. So, if you plan to spend long hours on your feet, these shoes are not for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kupchoi from Great shoes for really wide feet These shoes are perfect for people with really wide feet like me. They are the most comfortable shoes that I've every owned. Make sure you order one size larger than you normally wear. The shoes also has excellent grip on all the different surfaces that I walk on no matter what type of liquid I may encounter. So I will be buying a couple more pairs of these in the very near future.

Rated 2 out of 5 by jmikegarcia from was good until... I was really happy with this shoe in the first couple months of having it. I put some orthotics in there for extra comfort and it seemed to really help my lower back pains I was having in the kitchen. Unfortunately, after only 3 months of use, the stitching above the right toe came undone, the leather rotted out, and became un-fixable. For the price of the shoe, that is unacceptable. If you can help it, opt for the rubber slip on type of shoes. Save your money.

I purchased the new balance 623v3 from shoesforcrews and I love them! They are very comfy and the pain that I was having in the arch of my foot went away which is amazing!!!

Taylor Swift Just Crossed the Beyhive. Find Out How.by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .
In her brand new song, Taylor Swift takes aim at famous rivals such as Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Katy Perry.
But it's a different A-Lister who now has a beef with the artist.
Or, perhaps we should more accurately say, it's a different artist's fan base.
On Friday afternoon, Swift unveiled a music video teaser for "Look at What You Made Me Do," two days ahead of when the full video will premiere at the MTV Video Music Awards.
You can check it out HERE.
It doesn't reveal very much.
But it has revealed enough to severely anger the Beyhive, the loyal group of Beyonce fans who worship at the feet of the world's most popular solo singer...
... and who have now set their sights on Swift.
In one frame from her video teaser, Swift is dressed in a black leotard and fishnet tights while leading a group of male dancers who are all rocking similar looks.
The footage appears to be set in an ornate ballroom.
Critics, meanwhile, are pointing to Beyonce's Lemonade visual album as a comparison.
In the video for the Beyonce track "Sorry," the superstar and Serena Williams dance in the halls of a lavish Louisiana plantation... while wearing - you guessed it! - black leotards.
Queen Bey also donned the look with a contingent of similarly dressed backup dancers during her performance of "Formation" at Super Bowl 50.
One fan tweeted side-by-side screen shots of Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" teaser and video from Lemonade, captioning it "Lemonade and Minute Maid."
That's harsh.
But is it fair?
Added Beyonce fan added: "Taylor Swift wanna be Beyoncé so bad."
Taylor has received A LOT backlash for this new single, which many Internet users believe to be petty and simply not very catchy.
It also has a very dark tone.
Others, meanwhile, thought back to Swift's infamous feud with Kardashian and West and accused the singer of "playing the victim."
This is a charge Swift has faced for years, having often sang about being wronged by ex-boyfriends in some way, shape or form.
This is different, though. This is Taylor Swift daring to cross the Beyhive. We'd be a tad frightened if we were her.
Are these criticisms justified?
Do you think Swift really did copy Beyonce?
Or is this just a coincidence? And it Swift receiving an unfair rap?
Sound off below and also answer this question:
Are you excited for her new album?

Star Cinema officially announced in their social media accounts that their co-produced film with Viva films "Beauty and the bestie" is the new highest grossing Filipino film of all time, topping the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival box office and beating the local box office sales of the previous highest grossing film "A Second Chance."
Star Cinema's Roxy Liquigan has announced via Twitter that Vice Ganda's latest movie 'Beauty and the Bestie' already grossed P482.2-million after almost 3 weeks in theaters, becoming the highest grossing Pinoy film of all time when it comes to domestic grosses.
The John Lloyd Cruz-Bea Alonzo film 'A Second Chance' is still the all-time highest, when talkin' about worldwide gross earning P556M.
Now, it's exciting how the Guillermo Scholarship Foundation will award the titles Phenomenal Box Office Star (held by Vice Ganda for 4 years now), Box Office King and Box Office Queen.
Since both 'A Second Chance' and 'The Beauty and the Bestie' were able to beat the 2014 record-holder, I think they should award the Phenomenal Box Office Star title to the lead stars of both movies – John Lloyd and Bea, Vice and Coco Martin, just like in 2014, when Vice and Vic Sotto were both honored with the award for different movies (the former for 'Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy', Vic for 'My Little Bossings').

From the Chronicle of Higher Education, March 23 2012
Very interesting move by the University of California system – they have written into their licensing global access to its inventions. "The guidelines not only encourage institutions to use the policies but also remind them that global access could come into play with nonmedical inventions, such as those involving water purification and clean energy." Among other strategies, the guidelines suggest that the institutions require that medicines based on university patents be sold on an "at cost" basis in poor countries.

10 November 2014 – International and regional organizations call for Guatemala to respect judicial independence and reject the illegal sanction of Judge Yassmin Barrios. Guatemala's constitutional court is now considering a challenge concerning the authority of the country's lawyers' association to sanction Judge Barrios for her actions as a presiding judge during the 2013 trial of former dictator Efraín Ríos Montt and his then head of intelligence Mauricio Rodriguez Sanchez.
Nine international organizations and organizations from Latin America – Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL), the Due Process of Law Foundation (DPLF), the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH), Center for Legal and Social Studies (Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales – CELS), the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, the Guatemala Human Rights Commission (GHRC), International Platform Against Impunity in Guatemala (Plataforma Holondesa contra la Impunidad en Guatemala), and the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) – call on Guatemala to reverse this sanction, and guarantee protections for the independence and impartiality of the Guatemalan judiciary.

Baking With Dorie: Cookies for Julia Recipe
Satisfy your sweet tooth with recipes from Dorie Greenspan.
The summer of 1995, when I was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, shooting the PBS Baking with Julia series, Rick Katz, a terrific pastry chef, was in charge of the prep kitchens. He had his hands full because, while one chef was upstairs in Julia Child's kitchen taping, another was downstairs in the laundry-room-cum-prep-kitchen getting ready for his or her star turn, and it was Rick who had to whip up everything that was needed for the shoots, all those step-by-step swaps and the final beauties, too. Not only did he do it all, he'd manage to eke out time to make us treats, among them these Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies.
The cookies use one pound—yes, a full pound—of chocolate. You can use all bittersweet (which is almost always my choice) or make a mix, say a half-pound of bitter or semi-sweet, a quarter pound of milk, and a quarter pound of white. Just use great chocolate—it makes a world of difference.
Rick would add snippets of dried apricots to the cookies, an addition I adore (I'm crazy about apricots in any form), but they're optional.
For those of you lucky enough to live in Boston, Rick Katz can now be found at Picco Restaurant, Ice Cream, and Pizza Company, 513 Tremont Street.
(If you'd like an additional chocolate-rich cookie recipe, try this one that a friend of mine adapted from my book Baking, From My Home to Yours.)
Rick Katz's Mocha Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 to 3 tablespoons instant coffee powder (according to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pound chocolate (bittersweet, milk or white, or a combination), cut into larger-than-chocolate-chip-size chunks
- 1/2 pound plump, moist dried apricots, coarsely chopped (optional)
Whisk the flour, coffee powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl to blend; set aside.
Put the butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or work with a hand-held mixer) and beat on medium speed until the butter lightens in color. Add the granulated sugar and beat for about 30 seconds, just to blend. Add the brown sugar and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a minute after each addition. The mixture should be light and fluffy; if necessary, beat 1 more minute. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.
Turn the mixer speed down to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing until they are incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and clean the paddle and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the chocolate chunks and the apricots, if you're using them, and stir with the spatula to distribute them equally.
Chilling the dough: Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for several hours or overnight, to firm.
Baking the cookies: When you are ready to bake, position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper. (If you do not have heavy-duty sheets, double up the pans—these cookies need heavy sheets so that their bottoms don't burn.)
Using a heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie, drop the dough onto the lined sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each mound of dough so that the cookies have room to spread. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through the baking period, until the center is just baked—they'll still be soft to the touch. Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to cooling racks to cool to room temperature. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Storing: Wrapped in plastic bags or in tins, the cookies will keep at room temperature for 3 days. They can be frozen for up to 2 months and should be thawed at room temperature.

"What Does 'Some Woman' Know?": Commissioner Ray Kelly, "No Question" More People Will Die Without Stop And Frisk
New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly enthusiastically defended the New York Police Department's use of the controversial "stop and frisk" program during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday morning. Kelly went so far as to claim that more New Yorkers would die without the procedure in place.
Stop and frisk is a commonly used practice wherein NYC police officers question tens of thousands of pedestrians and may frisk them for weapons and contraband. The program disproportionately targets young black and Latino men, leading many to claim that it constitutes racial profiling — a view that was affirmed by federal judge Shira Scheindlin, who ruled the practice to be unconstitutional last week.
Host David Gregory asked Kelly if more Americans would die if the judge's ruling — which Mayor Michael Bloomberg's (I) administration has already appealed — were to stand and the program be dismantled. Kelly replied, "No question about it, violent crime will go up," before launching into a more extensive defense of stop and frisk premised on higher crime rates among minorities:
We need some balance here. The stark reality is that violence is happening disproportionately in minority communities. And that unfortunately is in big cities throughout America. We have record low numbers of murders in New York City, record low numbers of shootings, we're doing something right to save lives. […]
This is something that's integral to policing. This happens throughout America at any police jurisdiction. You have to do it. Officers have to have the right of inquiry, if they see some suspicious behavior. So I can assure you, this is not just a New York City issue. It's an issue throughout America. And this case has to be appealed in my judgment because it will be taken as a template and have significant impact in policing throughout America.
In her ruling against stop and frisk, Scheindlin wrote, "[T]he policy encourages the targeting of young black and Hispanic men based on their prevalence in local crime complaints. This is a form of racial profiling."
More than 5 million New York residents have been stopped and frisked under the program since Bloomberg took office in 2002. Over 86 percent of those who have been stopped are either black or Latino. But the mass random stops haven't been particularly efficient — a staggering 4.4 million of New Yorkers who were targeted under the program, which cost taxpayer $22 million in civil rights lawsuits last year, were innocent.
There have also been incidents where a stop and frisk ends with deadly consequences. In March, overzealous NYPD officers shot and killed 16-year-old black male Kimani Gray after stopping him for "suspiciously" adjusting his belt. The NYPD claims that Gray had drawn a weapon on the officers — but eyewitness testimony disputes that account, and an autopsy revealed that several shots were fired from behind Gray.
That hasn't stopped the Bloomberg administration from singing the practice's praises. Bloomberg recently dismissed Scheindlin as "some woman" who knows "absolutely zero" about policing. "Your safety and the safety of your kids is now in the hands of some woman who does not have the expertise to do it," he said during a radio interview Friday.

|From Scandal's Facebook page
Red wine? Check.
I think we're ready.
I didn't start watching Scandal until I went to visit Emily in Wisconsin, but I very quickly became a complete and total addict. The kind of addiction where you spend the entire weekend watching 14 episodes of Scandal while wearing my fanciest pajamas. (Hint: They aren't that fancy. I am not Olivia Pope.) I've been rationing the episodes of the third season throughout the summer so I didn't have to go for too long without Scandal in my life. Yes, I am aware that I have a problem.
Scandal is not the first Shonda Rhimes show I've watched. Grey's Anatomy was my first love of hers, although I gave up after 2 seasons because it got entirely to soap-y for me. That's partially why I had avoided watching Scandal for so long, but I can admit when I am wrong. I was so wrong. Even if Scandal does get a bit soapy at times... I love it. As I was watching Scandal, I jotted down some thoughts that I've had while watching this drama unfold, so I thought I'd share them with you. While no overt spoilers are here, there are definite references to things that happen! Consider yourselves warned!
If someone made 2 attempts on my life, I don't care if you're the President, I'm breaking up with you.
Holy crap, what just happened?
Yikes, at least my dad isn't Olivia Pope's dad.
Why aren't my clothes that fabulous?
Why aren't my PAJAMAS that fabulous??
See, red wine and popcorn can totally be a meal.
I think 90% of Olivia's wardrobe is black and white.
Can someone teach me how to style my hair like Quinn?
Cyrus with a beard looks like a homeless guy.
Ugh, Mellie is evil.
Ugh, poor Melliw.
Note to self: Don't date super spies.
Aw, Huck and Quinn are kind of cute.
No, wait. They're creepy.
Oh, and now HUck is realllllly disturbing. My teeth hurt.
Jake really needs to stop watching the video of himself getting it on with Olivia.
Fitz is creepy and if a man ever talked to me like that, I'd punch him. Even if he was the President.
There are a lot of lines in this show that are dangerously close to, "You don't get to call me a whore!" from Gray's.
Kerry Washington needs a few more facial expressions in her arsenal. Incredulous/confused and disgusted/infuriated are about all I'm getting here.
I don't think Fitz is all that handsome. Jake is way cuter.
Cyrus, I can't feel bad for you. You did this to yourself.
Olivia Pope needs 17 kinds of therapy. In fact, so does everyone on this show. Man.
Mellie's hair is so big because it's full of secrets.
Can all of these men stop saying that they created or made or own Olivia?
Every freakin' person on this show is a sociopath.
Yikes. At least my mom isn't Olivia's mom.
With the kind of parents Olivia has, it's no surprise she's wound so tight.
Cyrus and James need a bigger bed.
Oh Mellie, not you too! And in front of Jackie O!
Sally Langston is a nutball.
You know, for as often as they have to cover up their affair, you'd think Olivia and Fitz would stop making out in front of windows.
I feel like Cyrus is going to lose it and kill himself. It would totally not surprise me.
I feel like Mellie has bras to match every dress she owns.
Huck and Quinn, it seriously took you long enough.
This Charlie guy is creepy.
Jake is still way cuter than Fitz.
Ugh, Fitz. I am so done with you.
Oh, Mellie.
Ha, Quinn just told Charlie and Huck to either go make out or punch either other. I love her.
Cyrus!!! REALLY????
Oh... Quinn and Huck.
What is her obsession with jam??
My heart is breaking for Mellie.
Whoever picks the music for Shonda Rhimes' shows wins.*
Um... that's probably bad.
Yeah, how did you get like this, Olivia? That's an excellent question.
Oh Huck, you're crazy again. You need help.
Abby, calm down.
Okay, Abby, you might be right.
I don't know what it is, but I love Olivia's haircut in this episode.
I'm kind of over the reused dialogue. Shonda, you're better than this.
I don't believe that she's dead...
Of course he got reinstated. This was never about doing the right thing.
PAPA POPE, YOU ARE A JERK. I never should have trusted him!!
I am 99% sure that meningitis wouldn't kill someone that quickly...
Jake, you get 10 points.
Aw, Huck.
Also, Fitz can totally stay on the floor all night. I've done it. I guess the President can do it, too. He's the President.
Don't answer that. Good girl.
Where in the world IS Olivia Pope??
So, now that Olivia is on a plane to some undisclosed location, I'm intrigued to find out how they're going to bring her BACK to DC, because clearly, she can't just decide she's not Olivia Pope. Where are my fellow Gladiators/Scandal-watchers out there? What are your thoughts about the next season?
Sadly, as much as I would like to sit here and continue Netflix-ing my afternoon away with my knitting and my cats, I can't just decide that I'm not a med student, so it's off to study until 8 or so tonight, at which point, the pajamas, the red wine, and popcorn are ON. Until then, this exam?
PS: I linked this post up with Kristin for Stuff and Things! Want to share your stuff and things? Go forth!

It is a custom in Greece to welcome the New Year with the cutting of the traditional Greek New Year's Pie ("Vasilopita"). This year Lakis Gavalas, a well-known and controversial Greek fashion designer whose work is internationally recognized, paid a visit to FNF Greece's annual Vasilopita event and shared his thoughts on freedom and the arts.
Gavalas recounted that since the beginning of his career he wanted to free himself of social boundaries. "I always desired to express my own art, style and perspective without limitations. In retrospective, this was the secret of my success", he noted. Creating fashion was his way to express his inner self: "For me, freedom is like a white canvas: it will not change its color by itself regardless of how long you stare at it, but still it can liberate the artist's spirit and serve as a background to express him- or herself."
Gavalas stated that "freedom is a human right, but nobody should take it for granted. In this sense," he continued, "freedom is also a conquest because we have to fight for it every day." In his own unique attitude, he added that a free man expresses himself no matter what others think of it. "For me, the biggest freedom is to be nude and needing no other clothes than my soft skin."
In a more contemplative tone, Gavalas also spoke about the time he spent in jail for tax evasion after his business empire collapsed during the Greek crisis. "During those 15 months in jail, the deprivation of my personal freedoms was the toughest thing to cope with. As an individual I want to express myself in any way possible. To be prohibited to do so only made me more aware of how important freedom for me really is."
With populism on the rise again, it needs courageous people who speak up and defend individual freedoms and the freedom of expression. "Therefore, I was thrilled to have the chance to share a message of optimism among so many young people", Gavalas concluded. "This period of financial turmoil gives us all a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to refocus and make the changes that will propel us forward."

Free triathlon training plans are everywhere on the internet. All of them share a couple major flaws: 1) they assume equal ability in all three sports and 2) they are not created around your "A" races or weekly schedule. An alternative is hiring a coach to create a customized plan, but that comes with a hefty price tag.
Professional triathlete and USA Triathlon certified coach Chris Sweet will guide participants in this 1.5 hour workshop through creating a properly periodized, custom triathlon season training plan. This plan will be built around your "A" events and will take into account your weekly commitments. It will provide the proper structure for the season and will specify when you should be doing certain types of workouts (base, endurance, interval work, etc). After the session the athlete will need to plug in each week's specific workouts.
Participants will need to come with a short list of season goals and what they think their A, B, and C priority events will be (warning these may change!). It is also useful to have dates for things like family commitments and work travel available. We will provide paper calendars to work from. You can also work from a blank calendar on a laptop or tablet if you prefer.
RSVP appreciated on our Facebook events page.
Contact Chris Sweet (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions about this workshop.

Libraries have numerous sources for hunting up subjects of medical investigation, but you can also locate good articles by looking on the internet. Right here are some examples to get you began.
There are a lot of excellent summaries of MACRA out there ( right here is a wonderful 1), so I am not going to repeat any of that here, because frankly, it does not truly matter. First, the SGR formula which MACRA is supposedly replacing was never implemented. Possibilities are good that the furious mathematics at the fraying edges of medicine described in the newest notice of proposed rulemaking will suffer a similar fate. Second, even if Medicare spends the prerequisite billions of dollars to implement a national mechanism for withholding your $3, booking one more patient per day will fully neutralize any effects on your practice and your personal earnings. Alternatively, and specifically if you are of a particular age" this might be a great opportunity to spruce up your golf game, as Dr. Halamka himself is suggesting.
I know of a mexican neighbor who had 4 kids all for totally free. They had been in no way charged and never ever paid and that was just 3 yrs. ago. I am not talking about mexicans that have turn out to be citizens I am talking about the ones who come to the U.S.A. particularly to get free overall health care since they can get away with it and have accomplished for years. Also I know an employee that works at a phone firm and the mexicans will give false names and charge up enormous telephone bills then move and in no way pay and continue to use utilities and significantly much more and just by no means pay….to me that is grossly unfair but they have gotten away with it for yrs. and no 1 is stopping them.
So upon receiving the Denial on thursday i filed for reconcideration on the internet that evening. I spoke with my medical doctors on friday which they are all on board. I spoke with the SSFO friday and identified that indeed i was not forwarded my appropriate to expidited claim on the new Wounded Warrior Plan, Mistake #1, I did not get in the denial statement the CE Dr's statement, Error #2, Not all of my Injuries/Illnesses exactly where concidered, Mistake #three.
The dilemma is not that the media is as well liberal. Just ask Bernie Sanders how effectively the liberal media served his liberal campaign. The media looks and sounds liberal because it is targeting liberals. Individuals who consider themselves conservative are currently indoctrinated into corporate servitude. Liberals need to be cajoled by other liberals pointing to imaginary streams of racism, bigotry, misogyny and xenophobia, punctuated by indignant exhortations of this is not who we are", till they internalize the egalitarian rewards of free trade and open borders (i.e. an endless just-in-time provide of low-cost slave labor for international corporations). I never know about other liberals, but I oppose slave labor, which leaves me quite tiny wiggle room right here.

Sales & Relationship Management
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Need to explain the importance of customer service and customer support in an e-business and discuss some of the strategies businesses can use in creating customer service, customer support levels and customer relationship management (3 pages).
Points should include:
-the life time value of a customer
-tailor programs
-handling returns
-shopping cart
-ease of use
-call centers
-24/7/365 feedback
Solution Preview
I can't write your paper for you, but I can address each of the following points with regards to customer service. Many of the points will overlap with each other.
-the life time value of a customer
It is known that acquiring a new customer can cost significantly more than retaining an existing customer. What does this mean? It means that it is cheaper for the business to have repeat customers purchasing their products vs. going out to find new customers. This means that once a customer made a purchase, an online vendor must make sure that this customer is satisfied and will hopefully return back to the store.
How can we do that? If they had any issues with the product, delivery or service the e-business need to be able to address it right away to make sure that the customer becomes satisfied with the outcome. Perhaps other tactics can be used to build life long customers, such as offering them special coupon codes via email for discounts on future purchases, or other incentives to maintain their loyalties.
- FAQ's
This is a second on the site where most common questions are asked, and answers are provided. The goal of this is to answer simple questions that many shoppers might be thinking. By having this, we could potentially eliminate several phone questions to customer service which are more expensive to answer. This follows the customer levels of support. First they look at the FAQ for their answer. If the customer does not see their answer, then they can try to call customer service. Hopefully at that point, the generalized person who answers the phone will be able to help the customer. Sometimes however the questions are so complex that the call needs to get transfered to a manager or supervisor. This could be necessary to solve problems. The goal of customer service is to have a satisfied customer in order to build lifelong relationships.
- customization / tailor programs
There are several aspects to customization. When you log into your e-business webpage, the ...

Killing Them Safely is a documentary taking issue with the 'less than lethal' part of Taser's stun guns. It's been critically acclaimed by the New York Times and Hollywood Reporter, but Taser's employees have not-so-anonymously been taking to the internet to pan the movie.
The film's directors have published a series of tweets alleging to show negative reviews left by Taser employees on iTunes and Amazon video:
Dear @OfficialTASER, when trolling my film online, remind your employees to not use their real names. https://t.co/zB5IzA1C3E
— Nick Berardini (@NickBerardini) December 9, 2015
.@OfficialTASER though, you are right, the movie is not "creditable." pic.twitter.com/UOt6YABn9c
— Jamie Gonçalves (@Jamie_Goncalves) December 9, 2015
.@OfficialTASER I agree, "this move [displaying an inability to spell] is terrible." pic.twitter.com/pWlqPx5Jh8
— Jamie Gonçalves (@Jamie_Goncalves) December 10, 2015
Some of the reviews appear to be outright lying ("I'm kind of indifference to Taser devices"), while others simply choose to pan the movie outright. The offending reviews appear to have been removed since, although the screenshots are of very real LinkedIn accounts.
Taser, for its part, didn't deny the accusations, founding member Steve Tuttle telling Forbes, "I can't control our employees in what they do in their off hours any more than I can tell a police officer when to use a Taser…. Does anyone in their right mind think that anybody that works at Taser would like this documentary?"
In any case, the fake-review trolling seems to have backfired: Killing Them Softly is sitting pretty with five-star reviews on Amazon and iTunes.

Microsoft's Lumia 650 appears to target businesses as Microsoft describes it as "the smart choice for your business" in a video – after the break, it also brings built-in apps including Office and OneDrive like before. Design follows the recent Lumia lineup and offers a 5-inch AMOLED display packed in aluminium frame. Lumia 650 is a low-range phone as the 6xx line has always been. The new Lumia 650 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 chipset with Quad-core 1.3GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Internal storage is 16GB with option to expand via microSD card up to 200GB. The 5″ AMOLED display serves with 720p resolution and the pixel density of 297 PPI. The display comes with ClearBlack technology which should be considered excellent for this low-end device. The smartphone also features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing wide-angle camera. It will allow you to use 2G/3G or 4G/LTE network connectivity while it's backed up by a 2000 mAh battery which is rated to give 26 days of standby time and 16 hours of talk time over 4G network. Lumia 650 measures at 142mm x 70.9mm x 6.9mm and weighs 122 grams. It will come in matte black and matte white, and will be available in select European markets beginning February 18th. The suggested retail price of Lumia 650 is $199 USD before local taxes and subsidies. If you are are recalling the PC transformation feature with Continuum then forget about it. Lumia 650 ships with a chipset which can not just do that. Source Microsoft Windows Blog Lumia 650
