SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move reflecting the continued growth of its international theatrical business, Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, has named 22-year industry veteran Andrew Kramer to be Chief Operating Officer, International Distribution, it was announced today by Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Patrick Wachsberger and Rob Friedman, to whom he will report. Kramer will also work closely with Steve Beeks in his capacity as President of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. He will join Lionsgate in April after his current contract at The Weinstein Company (TWC) expires.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110919/LA70620LOGO)
Kramer will help Wachsberger continue to grow all aspects of Lionsgate's international film business, including international film acquisitions and packaging, creation of international coproduction and cofinancing opportunities and extension of Lionsgate's relationships into new territories. He will also oversee international film distribution and marketing operations, business affairs and the overall administration of the international film division. The Company's international sales operations will continue to report directly to Wachsberger.
"The international theatrical marketplace offers tremendous growth opportunities for Lionsgate, and Andrew is ideally qualified to help us continue to build our momentum around the world," said Wachsberger and Friedman. "He is a seasoned business executive who brings multidisciplinary expertise in all aspects of film acquisitions, coproduction, cofinancing, marketing and distribution to the continued growth of our worldwide feature film operations."
Lionsgate's film business achieved a record $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office in 2012, and the Company established new output deals in France, Germany, Spain, Scandinavia, Benelux, Australia/New Zealand and Russia as well as expanding its partnership with IDC in Latin America to encompass both Lionsgate and Summit films.
Kramer has been serving as President, Business and Legal Affairs, and General Counsel at The Weinstein Company (TWC). During his seven-year tenure at TWC, he has been responsible for managing all business and legal affairs for TWC and Dimension Films' feature film and TV productions as well as overseeing TWC's output arrangements. He has managed business affairs for all of TWC's feature film productions, including the recent hits SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and DJANGO UNCHAINED.
Prior to that, Kramer was Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and Operations, at Warner Independent Pictures. He began his career as a solo practitioner before joining the entertainment group at the law firm Mitchell, Silberberg and Knupp LLP. He also worked at Sony Pictures and as a principal in the entertainment group at Troop Steuber Pasich Reddick and Tobey LLP.
Kramer's responsibilities will complement those of Sean Kisker who was recently promoted from EVP to General Manager of the Motion Picture Group and who continues to spearhead Lionsgate's motion picture dealmaking and financing initiatives with particular focus on the North American marketplace.
Lionsgate is a leading global entertainment company with a strong and diversified presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution, new channel platforms and international distribution and sales.

Lionsgate currently has 27 shows on 18 networks spanning its primetime production, distribution and syndication businesses, including such critically-acclaimed hits as the multiple Emmy Award-winning Mad Men, Weeds and Nurse Jackie, the new comedy Anger Management, the network series Nashville, the syndication successes Tyler Perry's House of Payne, its spinoff Meet the Browns, For Better Or Worse, The Wendy Williams Show, Are We There Yet? and the upcoming Orange Is The New Black, an original series for Netflix.
Its feature film business has been fueled by such recent successes as the blockbuster first installment of The Hunger Games franchise, the 13th highest-grossing North American release of all time, The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which has grossed more than $800 million at the worldwide box office, The Expendables 2, The Possession, Sinister, The Cabin in the Woods, Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection and Arbitrage. With the January 2012 acquisition of Summit Entertainment, the Company has now added the blockbuster Twilight Saga franchise, which has grossed more than $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office, to its current slate, giving the Company the two premier young adult franchises in the world. Recent Summit hits include Red, Letters to Juliet, Knowing, the Step Up franchise and the Academy Award-winning Best Picture, The Hurt Locker.
Lionsgate's home entertainment business is an industry leader in box office-to-DVD and box office-to-VOD revenue conversion rate. Lionsgate handles a prestigious and prolific library of approximately 15,000 motion picture and television titles that is an important source of recurring revenue and serves as the foundation for the growth of the Company's core businesses.

LONDON (AP) — NBA Commissioner David Stern has no problem with teams aiming microphones at their own players during games. If anything, he wants more mikes on the court.
Talking ahead of the New York Knicks' game in London against Detroit on Thursday, Stern shrugged off a report that MSG chairman James Dolan used listening devices at Madison Square Garden to record everything said to and by Carmelo Anthony.
Stern said the league and media already have mikes placed around the court and that "for my money, I'd like to see the audio track of our game be a little bit more robust."
He added that recording your own players is not against league rules and not the same as "eavesdropping" on an opponent.
The Newark Star-Ledger reported Monday that Dolan had two MSG Network audio technicians record Anthony's interactions following his suspension after exchanging words with Boston forward Kevin Garnett.

Why can't a live usb with persistence be made with 2010?At least that is my understanding. I have not seen an explanation for that. If it has been posted I missed it.I know there is no longer included on the desktop an icon to make a live usb so I was wondering how that slipped through the cracks?Thank you.
Think this is solved. I will mark it as so.

BBB Top 10 Scams of 2012
Posted in: Advertising, National
– February 22, 2013
I need direction direct tv has ruined my credit and cost me lots of money for no/shitty service multiple work orders for them having to come fix faulty equipment and crappy installation….they took money out my checking account money they didn't earn or supply a service for I returned there equipment and took over 500$ out my checking account and now suing me for more along with my bank for covering the crazy amount they were requesting they are a bully company and I have 4 young boys to take care of on my own life hard enough with out major companies like direct tv stealing from innocent people !!!!
alisha lodrigue,
I have absolutely NO sympathy for your situation. Any installer will double check your signal and the dish location in relation to trees, bushes, etc. before leaving the install. Any competent consumer would make sure their equipment worked before they signed off on the work order for their installation…you are obviously not one of these folks…
My BIGGEST question though is, why are you purchasing premium television service that you obviously cannot afford, when you are trying to support 4 children on your own (shocking…). Directv is not "stealing from innocent people"…they're simply trying to collect their money from irresponsible people, in order to pay the installer that set up your service.
Andrew, you really do not know what you are talking about. I believe Alisha because Direct TV and Dish Network did the same to me and I wast never late with my payment. I decided to discontinue us because my bill kept going up more than what I originally contract for. I boxed and mailed back their equipment through UPS and they still took money from my banking account. So It is not for you to judge people. You should be outraged that companies are taking advantage of people who contract with them in good faith and get shafted. Do you work for Direct TV
Direct T. V. fraudulently removed money from my checkings account.
If you are not on a auto bill payment situation tell the bank to out the unathorized withdrawal back into your account. Call the bank fraud dept in your bank and file a complaint. Takes about 14 days, This is what I did and It made direct T.V. reverse the transaction.. My situation was that Direct T.V. stopped providing my programming due to their failure to pay via-com for it's provided programming, so millions of customers were scammed by direct T.V.. Andrew , Direct T. V. didn't pay it's billion dollar bill , so we have to assume the loss ??? Let the back paddling begin , and BTW I feel not sorry for Andrew's logic error of a single mom just trying..
I have a comment …………………………how rude…………………………..shes a single mother with 4 kids that works hard to take care of her family ……………………..she deserves to have a happy life……………………just because we are poor doesnt mean we cant watch tv. ……………………………and for your information……………………..some people are not electronical nerds……………………..i got news for you i know nothing about how to set up that stuff. ………………………..if i pay someone to do it i expect to be done right and got more news………………………………….DIRECT TV. IS A JOKE……..ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE……………………………………………….SO DONT JUDGE PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOUR A MR. KNOW IT ALL……………………
Direct TV has to be the worst company I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is in Mexico. They have no holdings in the US; therefore you cannot sue them. A total ripoff!!! You are better sticking to basic cable or use an antenna if you want to save money. If you want to see movies – hulu.com. Direct TV is a nightmare……
here's the deal on Direct TV. The want auto payments because they take the money before it is due. They are operating on YOUR money. Someone helped them selves to nearly 1300 out of my account. I cancelled the card. On August 7 Direct phoned me and said the card is cancelled. I explained why, but first asked are you speaking of the bill that is due on August 22? She said yes. I never gave them another card, now they have raised the price by 20 per month which I am not paying. They already had upped the 29.99 price by $5 and they are now close to 80.00. Plus they are gone if there is a cloud in the sky. Crooks, nothing but.
They did this to me also.
I told them to turn my service back on, and they put my money back into the account I paid them their monthly fee.
Closed my checking account, and cancelled the account, sent them back all their equipment. and now they are calling my husband saying we closed our account early and owe them 200.00
DirecTV Sucks
Morgan, Phelps, & Stern – Payments Pending Division offering me $2,997,500.00. Is this for real? They want $20.00 for release of a "Folio" and check.
Tell them to take it out of the check at final settlement ! So the check will read 2,997,489.00
Sounds to good to be true!!!STAY AWAY!!!
I received a card in mail that says u. S. government is dispersal of government funding of 20, 978.00 . They want me too send $19.00 in order to get the funding.
They ask for a release no.? The $$$ is from government.. The name of company asking for the down payment is Global they are in Atlanta, but the $$ is coming from California..
Cash pending grant $20, 978 , ( home improvenment), , Education, Business Start-up, Travel, Home Improvement, or Other ..their phone no. Is 1-877-857-6286
Release no. Is 14595-00466..please let me know if this is a scam or legal $$ for Senior to have and not pay back..and why the government requesting $19.00..will we get the $20,000 if we pay the $19.00 with our credit card.
Has anyone heard of a third party lending company called Thompson Briggs Financial Group??? They are apparently located at 2 Penn Center, on JFK Blvd in Philadelphia?
Yes, actually i applied for loan,and they've ask me to pay aroun $800 for secure deposit. But after that i don't heard anything from them. Had you?
A company called Preston Lord Enterprises at 5 Lyons Mall Suite 777, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 sent me a letter saying get paid mailing letters from home. There is a fee to get started but says it will be refunded for a single package issued with every 9th paycheck.
Please help me make the right decision, about Obam's Mortgage plan to he Refi Mortgages, for $1700
ANY entity who wants your money BEFORE they send you umpteen million dollars is a SCAM.
I am trying to rent a room. A person, supposedly in England, had a third person send me a beautiful 4-color check for about 17 times what I wanted for the room. It was drawn on a hardware store in New Jersey. I took it to the bank and asked one of the officers if it was legit. The store said it was the third inquiry that day! The inquiry cost me NOTHING, but if I had tried to deposit it, the bank would have charged me for the rubber check, and if I had drawn on those funds, MY checks would have bounced, too.
I am wondering if this thompson briggs financial group is legit… i got papers for a loan and they are asking for a security of over 700
i too received papers from Thompson Briggs and they want over 700 however i went to fax the papers back and the fax number is not in service
did you find anything out
I just went through the same thing from thomspon briggs financial and now says there number is not in service. Anyone know of anything to do to get my money back or any advice?
Common sense should tell people that these letters are scams. I received a letter today from a company out of London, England called Wakefield financial ltd. Says that I won a prize of $100,000.00. But of course I have to send them a fee. How as 're you going to win anything without entering the contest or sweepstakes in the first place. So I have no sympathy for people who send money to people they don't even know in order to get money.
Now their number is back and thompson briggs called me saying someone hacked into their system and may have our information and the FBI and all that is investigating it
I still can not get through to Thompson Briggs and the message says this number has been temporarily disconnected……..it has been 4 days since i have heard anything……at least they did not get my money…..phew
I too am wondering if this is thompson briggs is legit. Supposedly my refund cheque should so up tomorrow. Has anyone every actually gotten thier money back out from these guys…
Slightly panicing…
It's been over 16 days thompson briggs financial group will refund the $800 but until now i don't heard nor i can't get hold of them. please help if by chance you came accross with this company.
Are Reverse Mortgages legit? We are considering applying for one, but just not
sure if there are any downfalls involved.
I would really appreciate professional advice concerning this.
I would never do a reverse mortgage as you leave someone in your family paying for your debt after you die. Most of these that I am hearing about are scams people NEVER GET A DIME OUT OF REVERSE MORTGAGES OR ANY SCAMS. If you get a letter stating you have won a lottery and know you didn't enter it report it to BBB so they can report the company. It's way too easy to put a company name on fake letterhead anymore. Don't EVER send anyone MONEY FIRST IN ORDER TO GET MONEY. I do know both Direct tv and Dish are just scams as bad as Windstream is as my bill goes higher with very bad internet and a barely used phone line. Why can't the poor get great cable service as we are people too. No use judging anyone anymore as the way Obama is going we will all be poor. As far as Refinancing your home don't do it it will cost more in the long run. Best bet if it sounds way too good it usually is.
My mother "Gladys" received a letter from GGP RESEARCH CORP. seeking a secret shopper. They inclosed a check for 1,985.00 with instruction on how these funds are to be spent.
1. Probation training pay (for Gladys) $300.00
2. Required fund to be transferred $1,465.00
3. Remittance Service charges $130.00
4. Funds needed for shopping $90.00
Total $1,985.00
Instructions for fund tranfers are as follow: test & evaluate compliance in Money remittance transactions by sending a Western Union or Money Gram for On of their field agents in any of these locations. 1) Victoria Wilson, in New York City, NY. 2) Donald Hoyle, New York, NY. 3) Linda Johnson New York City, NY. After you complete these tasks you are to call your Accounts Manager with the Western Union Money Transfer Control Number or the Money Gram Reference Number immediately after completion. Of couse they also request you email or fax your secret shopper receipts. Then you call your account manager Mike Lawrence at 1-289-776-5325 to activate the enclosed check before you deposit this check. They also provided an evaluation form to use as a secret shopper. Ref:GVC-198327, representative ID 2900.
She did not request any information from this company in any way. I feel this must be a scam.
Carolyn Goers, concerned daughter
I have gotten one of those before. I looked at the bank it was drawn on and called the bank directly and then went in and found out the routing number was correct but the account number was false, It was a fake company and check so I reported and didn't respond back to them. I didn't try to cash the check either, Becareful of all western union serect shopper test they are usually fake.
The western union secret shoppers are always money laudnering scams. you'll cash the check It comes out clean (at first) then you'll send it via western union to another location entirely by the time it reaches its final destination, the money sent is now real, while you're left with your bank going WAIT that check bounced, you now have to pay it all back… I almost fell for it a few years back, Tootntotum just finished building the new one on 34th and osage, and i lived close, when they instructions came to me via email i had to go secret shop the western union in that store, yet i knew there wasn't a western union in that one, and i knew from working at tootntotum that western union has it's own people do any type of 'secret shopping'….
From what I have read over the net the last few years, it seems to be either one man, always on the move, or, it's two one stationed in an area to send the package wth the fake check to you from several different rerouted locations, and another stationed in the location your to send the western union to.
either way SCAM!!!! So DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK!!!
SECRET SHOPPERS AND MOST WORK FROM HOME JOBS ARE SCAMS. Best bet if it sounds too good it has to be so run. NEVER DEPOSIT A CHECK OR WESTERN UNION INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AS IT WILL BE FAKE AND THEY WILL COME TO YOU. YOUR BANK FOR YOU TO PAY IT BACK AND ALL BOUNCED CHECK CHARGES.
I am wondering if Insider's Financial Real Estate Workshop run by Dean Graziosi, is a legitimate business. I would really appreciate both professional and individual experienced advice concerning this because I am planning to invest in the company.
Dean is a reputable company. From what I know you will have to pay one fee and then a monthly service fee each month so u will be out some money if it doesn't work. I have worked in Real Estate for over 10 years most of these a legitimate company but something they tell you to do used to work but doesn't work in 2013. Be careful. No money tree going to fall out of the sky.
I was wondering, has anyone dealt with this company?
I just posted a comment and forgot the company, Has anyone dealt with the Successful Education Online and the Coaching Department?
has anyone dealt with time-share re-sale
Elite Referrals, Inc., in Orland, Florida?
I received an email from a women claiming the company she works for Pimmel Thorn-GMBH, supposedly a check processing company. They offered me a position of Check Assist Manager- where I receive a check from a customer around 2,000- 2,500. I cash the check then take my percentage and western union the rest of the money to the clients. I tried to check it out on the site here but I could not find anything, it just does not seem legitimate that they would send checks in my name to send off. What is your opinion, although I am sure it is a scam.
Let me guess, the amount they're asking you to send via western union is like either just under 2k mark or under 1500 mark? The western union scams always make sure the amount of money being sent thru western union is a large lump sum, that is just under the amount required by western union to record or find suspicious. so either they say take so much out for yourself, take this and this and this out or however they divide it up or explain why only so much is being sent all it is is a money laundering scam, a rather smart one at that because the only party in the whole operation that is at risk and getting in trouble for it, is you, the actual innocent one.
Note, anytime someone sends you a large check for whatever reason, such as secret shopper, job offer, or even an offer for say an item you are selling online. And the check amount is vastly larger than the agreed upon amount and the excess is to be sent back via western union… its a scam…
I received or use to receive check for secret shoppers regularly. What I started doing is telling them to send me a cashiers check. Then I would inform them that this money will not go into my personal account. Never, no matter if you do your research and the company appears legitimate, put a check issued to you from a company in your personal account. This is only asking for trouble for you and your finances. I know it hard out there and good jobs are few and far between, but the results you receive from scamming is worse.
Run from that company anytime you deal w western union or any of them its a scam. DON"T EVER FALL FOR WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE MONEY THAN WHAT YOU SHOULD GET. All you will get it bounced fees from your bank and they will have stolen your identity
I received a call from Northwest Realty International from Tacoma, Washington asking me if I wanted to rent or sell my Time-share Vacation Membership in Cabo. They offer to pay me $1,890.00 for one week of rent or $17,869.00 to sell. I looked them up but could not find anything on them. I called their phone number but it go's to an answering machine.
Has anyone heard or know anything about this company? It sounds too good to be true.
I would just like to know if TradersRoom.com is legitiment web site for trading stocks? Was thinking about doing it but can't find anything on them as far as blogs or anything goes. Need help anyone have advice on this please.
I have had an offer to sell my timeshare for $17,000 from Summit Tour & Travel, Inc. After I sign the contract to sell, I will have to pay $2200 for processing fees. Is this a legitimate company and/or offer?
I sold my timeshare a few years ago but, that was only after I wasted hundreds of dollars on fees to multiple companies to list it for sale. Years later it finally sold but, for a third of what I bought it for. This sounds like a solicitation to get you to LIST your unit for sale with them. For this the owner pays a fee but these companies are a waste of time. It's not like homes sales where you have an individual listing and an agent advertising it. It's just thrown in with all the rest of the sales. The $17,000. also sounds like a come on to make you think this is what you could sell it for or they have a buyer for your unit. Timeshare is almost impossible to sell. If you research this you will find out there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of units for sale.
Has anyone heard of tagsalesdepot.com. I found a truck that I like but it is at this companies warehouse and they take care of the whole sale and delivery. Is this legit?
i'm male, and 68 y/o ,the county is still taking out $75.00 from my ss check, my kids are in there 40′s is this legal????i don't do fed.taxes anymore because, they intercept it, or housing, they intercept that too!! and i'm fed up cause ,i whent to fl., cause my mother died down there, i liked the weather down there so i stayed for 30 years in FL. i had a stroke and my sister said to come Home, and i did,my bigest mistake!!!!now i'm disabled, and can't live on my little check!

They are offering me work permit visa in Quebec guaranteed with no rejection. The man namely Maxwell is corresponding with me through email. Please suggest me and guide me.
Received a bogus letter from Phoenix,Az from a US AIRLINES that I won 2 RoundTrips tickets call to get info BOGUS! Number is 1866-981-5717 BOGUS PHISING SCAM I never responded.
I followed all the rules and still got scammed, I trusted a business Bloomington Lincoln Mercury Dealership, Bloomington, MN. I ran not one but two Car Fax Reports on a car that was presented to me by the Salesman of the Dealership. I had the Police Department run a check. I did hours of research on the car, but didn't on the salesman. I checked complaints, but didn't know that those get cleaned up. I checked BBB, but the Dealership didn't have an account so it looked clean. I was trying to do right by downsizing and getting a car with lower payments. I trusted the dealership and that transferred to the salesman. Nothing showed up on the Car Fax, because the Salesman had done a Straw Purchase in Northern Mn contacting a friend that was a salesman. So since no one reported the car stolen, Chrysler didn't report it stolen either and the women that purchased the car for the salesman, immediately left for out of state. This salesman set up an elaborate scam through the dealership. He used their computers, their software, Temporary License Plate/papers, etc. He brought me in, spinned his scam through the dealership. In all he did, no one watched him even though he already had a record of Theft by Swindle, forgery, etc. No one in the dealership wanted to make sure that when I came in I or anyone else would be safe. When they searched his home, there were stacks of peoples names, where they worked, phone numbers, what they made, etc. How can the State of MN not care that a Dealership set me up for Identity Theft – where are their ethics? Bad things do happen to good people and people that do their homework to make sure things like this don't happen. If you ever loose your job and also end up in the Emergency Room from a major trauma, don't try to fix things like finances alone, that was my mistake. You are just too vulnerable and those with no ethics, character – businesses will see you coming. I want to empower people to make a choice, knowing what they are dealing with. This is not the first time this dealership has been in the news for their ethics or character.
I have seen so many complaints as well as speaking with WCCO and they have reported on complaints, yet you can find nothing on them. My last correspondence from them was unsolicited in which they consistently spoke of their high rating with BBB. I submitted a complaint and they reply I received was that I was crazy and that they had an A+ rating. I went in to buy a car and their salesman set me up in a staged con. Retired now FBI agent found my Loan Application, USAA Bank Statements and TCF Bank Statements in the salesman's private home in Woodbury, MN. The State of MN charged the salesman with theft by swindle. BLM knowingly hired this man with a history of other Theft by Swindles, forgery, etc. BLM hired him knowing this an acted irresponsibly in not managing him. I asked them what did they have set up for his accountability, for his success, to protect a financial business and all the customer coming in through the door. The manager said to me, nothing. When I asked why he no longer was there, I was asked to leave and told to get a subpena. I still am being stalked by this salesman as well as documentation of eMails of how is he going to pay me back for turning him in and he has friends that will take care of me. Statements like I know where you live as well as a fluid reserve of verbal abuse. I have asked others that have had dealings with him and asked why they didn't take him to court as I did and they all said the same thing, they were afraid. People have the right to know this dealership showed no responsibility in protecting any of my personal information and that their identities are at risk as mine was and still is today. We aren't talking about some minor comment or a he said, she said – we are talking about Identity Theft and lack of responsibility of this Dealership in being responsible in managing their employees and in taking ownership in their behavior. Sending me eMails that I am crazy and that BBB rated them high. Also they told me if BBB rated them so high, there couldn't be any problems. I am a person that has been victimized over and over by their salesman and by this dealership. They refused to work with me in resolution or help in anyway to clean up what they and their employee did.
Has anyone heard of this website? No Purchase Required, INC.com Its a work at home company, "supposed" to be real. Just curious…….
I responded to a work from home ad on craigslist.org. The girl who answered the phone not only had a bad connection, but also did not use proper grammar. Strike one and two.
The name of the company is NPR A.K.A. No Purchase Required, INC. I cannot find any information on them on the BBB website, but did look up their website. There are a lot of misspellings and grammar errors. Strike three.
Within fourteen minutes another lady called me who also had a bad connection, lots of noise in the background, and bad use of grammar. Strike four.
After listening to her spill, she mentioned the fee for the background check would be $45 and non-refundable. Warning! Warning! Strike five!
Now these people have my name, phone number, and email address. Changing now.
Are there ANY LEGIT work from home opportunities? I'm pretty sure this is NOT one.
The saddest part about this is that this happened less than 24 hours ago and I don't even know whom you are referring to or what happened.
Bad grammar on the phone? Bed connection? Unacceptable. This is true. Spelling errors on the website, well, you can chalk that up to the owner being passionate and refusing to let someone else do the website.
Why does a person have to pay for a background check? The same reason that our competitor that is BBB Accredited does – because it's necessary to ensure that we are not hiring someone that will cause harm to our company or our clients. But unlike our competitors, we don't charge for anything else – no training costs, no equipment costs – nothing.
When one is looking for a job and finds one in a regular brick and mortar, you will have to pay for gas for up to two weeks without so much as a dime from the company you are working for and definitely without reimbursement. But because this is what is always done, no one thinks about the cost or the fact they may have to borrow money to get to work. So are you investing, paying, if you will, to work? Yes. And far more than the cost of a background check in many cases depending on how far away the job is…not to mention to have to eat.
At the end of the day, we are still looking for qualified Customer Service Representatives – not sales people, and not commission based either. We have job openings and we need people to fill them.
We are a small, growing company that is doing everything we can to provide good service to our clients, and hire good staff. The sad part is, we have to fight against all the scams and schemes out there that make people concentrate on everything they can to find a problem – even where there are none that exist.
It was a bad connection, so you probably didn't even get to ask the young lady if there was a way to have the fee waived, because there is.
And Angela, the worst is, according to the records you called us at 5:09 pm and this was posted at 5:47pm. How much more helpful would it have been if you have contacted our office directly about your experience or concerns.
The young lady you talked to, according to your appointment log, is not originally from this country. We provided her a job opportunity when others have turned her away to help her learn skills that will enable her to succeed at the goals she is trying to obtain. Shes a hard worker, and very helpful.
And while she may have misspoke a few words (or was it just her accent), now that I see who it was, I also know that you did not mention that she was kind and professional – because I know she was – she always is.
While you've said nothing outright wrong, you've attached our name to a webpage that talks about scams…and that is all that people need to see. Our name in association with this page that talks about the BBB's top 10 scams, even though we aren't one of them. This hurts our business, the people that work here and the families that depend on us to provide a job.
I only pray that people read what you said AND read this, and take a moment to do some due diligence about us and what we stand for.
Thank you for your feedback about your experience, however my experience was totally different. When I applied to this company NPR I too, was skeptical about a work from home business because I had searched and tried everything. However, I took a chance anyway just to see what it was all about and I completed my background check(of course with flying colors!!) and started working in less than a week…A REAL WORK AT HOME JOB!!! No start-up fees, no signing up my friends and family, like most companies do or pay for training which may cost upwards of $300. I love my work at home position and have always been determined to be a stay at home mom that could provide for my family without government assistance and NPR has provided that for me. Work at home jobs are NOT for everyone some people need to be apart of the rat race and corporate assembly line of worker bees. I always believed that just because you have a few bad experiences it should not cloud your view because while you are so focused on the negative that positive has been overlooked. Meaning you can't drive a car properly if your only view is the rearview mirror…there are great and legit work at home companies you just have to keeping digging until you find what works for you…I know I have!!
There are a lot of legit WAH jobs; but your mindset is your block already. I've worked for three legit companies ranging from CSR to claims. Now, as for NPR, they were very professional when I called. And everybody I spoke with was very professional. As for a background check fee…this is common for many work-from-home opportunities. And administrative cost is a big chunk of the recruiting and hiring process. As for grammar usage – a lot of websites fall short; especially news media. And I've received emails from top recruiters at fortune 500 companies that had errors in grammar. I've been in training sessions that had powerpoint spelling errors; and in other live sessions with less than perfect grammar used. However, the quality was not lost. Furthermore, work-from-home jobs are expected to grow, due to new innovations. Even if I am not selected for the position at NPR…I believe this is a good company; and I wish them successs.
I was offered a position today, but turned it down. I spoke with a young lady that appeared to be reading a script; and she also appeared to be quite nervous. When she moved away from the script, and spoke more freely; the conversation flowed much better. However; It is very much a pyramid scam. They appear to have good people in the wrong line of work.
I have received emails about a home consulting buisness from FTT Consulting Company out of Brooklyn, NY. I have searched for information and could find none. While filling out an application I saw that they not only wanted my bank name, account #, routing #, and paypal account info. For me that is too much information to give online over an unsecure site. I called the phone number posted and got a persons voice mail not stateing company's name. Not only that this email was not sent to my personal email but to my school email where the only emails I get there are from school. Has anyone ever heard of this company?
I have a company offering me 4500.00 in a line of credit with master card.. If I send them 900.00 as a down payment. They call it semi secured credit card. The say they give you the 900 back plus interest in 12 months. They are also offering 250 dollar gas card. They say they are Freedom 1st National bank, goggled it and could not find it. Their number is 18889980585.. Has anyone every heard of this?
has anyone ever heard of the company GlW Peoperty mangment Comapny. My husband applied for a job though them and they sent an email saying they were interested in him bit would need to go to a web site and answer some questions. After answering the questions they then needed hinm to run his credit report, stateing that he would be driving a company truck and have a company credit card. However as soon as he completed the credit part of the information the web sire locked up. I have emailed them twice asking for them to resolve the web page problem and they dont respond. I then googled there comapny and cant seem to find them any where. I went to there web site and there is not way to contact them, no phone number, no address to contact them at all. Is this a scam?? Job was listed on craigslist???
Has anyone heard of a company called attrico ltd. They are advertising in my local papers a "corporate postman" job. BBB has no info on them.
Jean – At first glance the website, http://attricos.org, looks legit – but there are several red flags. / The bottom of the home page mentions copyright 2011, yet the site – registered as "Attricos LTD" – was created on 10/12/12. It also notes a New York HQ, yet the New York Secretary of state has not filing for that name. / The name on the site is "Attrico LTD" yet the site address includes an "s" in the name – as did the site registration. / The employment position involves receiving parcels and reshipping them to unknown 3rd parties. // You may wish to visit the following site for more info – https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radDocs/consumer/ReshippingScam.html
Looking for someone to help with all the bankruptcy papers cant afford a lawyer and I am afraid I will mess them up on my on. Does anyone know of a legitimate company that does this I found usabankruptcyassociates.com but it sounds to good to be true.
Hey Brenda : Try your local library. They should have the most recent books on how to file for bankruptcy. Some books may have pictures of the forms you will need to fill out. My library here in Ohio had books that helped me do filing for my brother. Good Luck !
I think I got took myself. I got a email first. Telling me they would like to hire me. Then the next thing I know I am getting a check in the mail. So I emailed this person back Mary Snaga. To ask her what this was for. She told me I had to order a laptop from there vender. Because it had all the softwear I need on it. So the check had one company on it and fedex had another company. I didn't think nothing about it. So I took the check to my bank after I called the bank that was on the check. The bank told me the checking account was open and active. So I deposit it in my account. I took the banks word that it was good. I deposit it on a monday morning. They didn't put it in my account until Wed morning. So when I emailed her and told her it cleared. She emailed me back asking me to send it western union and moneygram. Well before I could call my bank to let them know it was no good. I had some of my bills come out. So now I have to pay the bank back 980.00. What sucks I really need a job. Because I am not working. I don't have that kind of money. My husband is supporting all of us. He dosen't even make that kind of money. You know we will never see that money. Here are the names of the Company's . The checks has the name of Innovative Underwriters Inc. Then it will come Fedex under a different sender IFAX Solution Inc. So be carefull.
Having problems with a company called Anchorfree inc. They offer an internet security service called Hotspot Shield Elite. Had problems with service so asked for a refund. Still waiting. Has anybody had dealings with these guys?
I have been offered employment with a co. Called kilroy travel out of denmark for here in the Charlotte area, seems a little suspicious to me, can anyone help me out here?
I have been getting similar "offers of employment" from Kilroy Travel for the last few days. I have resume posted on careerbuilder, so that might be where they got my email address.
The saddest part about this is that this happened less than 24 hours ago and I don't even know whom you are referring to or what happened.

I answered this ad on craigslist back in March. I was so excited when I was hired, and no issue paying for my background check, because as Andrea said in the other comment, that's half a tank of gas in my car and I don't have to use it to get to work. I get to work at home! I get to be there for my son when he gets out of school. I can still get dinner on the table by the time my husband is home. There are just so many benefits to working for this company, and I love each and every one of my co-workers to pieces. This company is not a scam. I get a real paycheck each week for the work that I do within the company, and I don't have to leave the house for any of it. I love working for NPR.
Hi Maria,
I too have received virtually the exact same offer for my time-share in Puerta Vallarta. However, I am presently using my lawyer to go through with the transaction. I am Hoping that this is a legitimate organization and offer. I have received some red flags though and have warned them that if I feel that the something is wrong, I will cancel the transaction with them.
The major red flag has been their desire for me to release monies to an Escrow Company that is independ of their organization. Also they will not release the name of their buyer to my lawyer. If all is legitimate, why is there a problem with my lawyer holding my funds in my lawyer's trust account?
All of my calls have been responded to. However, I have not released any finances to them or their so called trust company as yet.
Looking for a response or comment from anyone who can assist.
Thank you,
Are Timeshare Angels a resale company and do they have any complaints.

Befriend your lockscreen with the brilliant HelloFriends for Windows Phone 8
We've been getting a lot of Windows Phone 8 live lockscreen apps lately and we couldn't be happier. With these new tools for developers we're going to start to see some real creativity in the coming weeks and we just found our new favorite: HelloFriends.
The app is so ingenious, we're kind of shocked Microsoft didn't build this in to the OS—after all, the concept is their very own. HelloFriends simply generates gorgeous lock screen wallpaper based off of your contact photos. It creates three types—all mini tiles, one with varying sizes and one with some huge tiles mixed in and then updates every 30 minutes with a new pattern.
What's nice too is the app generates the images so that near the bottom it fades to black, allowing your time/date and notification area to remain highly visible. Conceptually, the app reflects the core design principle of Windows Phone—making your phone personal. We already have Live Tiles, especially for the People Hub and Photos that display and flip images of your close ones—so why not bring that to the lock screen as well?
Okay, we suppose if you have really ugly friends, you may want to avoid it. But we're not going to, as we love the look of these images, how it updates every half an hour and the whole idea behind it.
For that, we have to highly recommend this little ditty.
You can pick up HelloFriends here in the Store for $0.99 with a free trial (that appears to be limitless right now).

Great app!
Bobby Levashki says:
Well, I can't... WP7...
LINGLING55581 says:
Hey you can try FriendsCollage
available here: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=7dff585a-c633-48d8-a2e6-92f86d8c4d76
It's quite similar and available for WP7.x ;-)
Gergolos says:
Is there a way to generate images like this on a wp7 device? Like an App which creates the images and saves them on your phone... You could then pic the image and save it as a lockscreen image...
If the developers are reading this:
Please do something like this for us! I am quite sure that a lot of WP7-users would love this!
Thanks in advance :)
LINGLING55581 says:
I've developed a similar app for wp7.x devices :-P
You can find it here:
Gergolos says:
Hey Lingling,
thanks a lot for your answer :)
I downloaded the app and it's quite fun to use. Is there a way you could add more options and filter for the collage making? Like different Tile sizes and so on. ?
Would be really awesome!
(Will try the app for the next few days and give you some feedback if you want :) )
David Ray says:
Does no one else feel weird having all of your friends faces showing up on your lock screen? We'll see how the wife reacts to some girls showing up on there. Haha
Jf.Vigor says:
It is a little... haha
Gergolos says:
haha nice^^
I once had my ex-girlfriend (doing a kiss face on the pic) right next to my girlfriends pic on my peoples hub. Was kind of funny. But I'm sure there will be some nice random stuff with this kind of an App.
Jf.Vigor says:
VERY cool. I'm using it ut waiting for inevitable bugs n glitches that come hand-n-hand with these lock screen apps. If this dev got it right the first time I'll be very impressed.
Now if only I can have it update with photos of JUST my friends or people in a certain group. That would be slick. perhaps a future app update. Very nice job by the dev
Jf.Vigor says:
Sunny Lau says:
not sure why but my lockscreen pics do not update as what this app should be. daniel how often does yours update?
Sunny Lau says:
not sure why but the pics in my lockscreen do not update regularly as per what this app should do. daniel how often do yours update?
JayTBennett says:
Hey look it's me! Top left, must make me your best friend yeah Dan?
JayTBennett says:
Yeah I refuse to believe that's the reason... You kept generating till I was there, right, right?
aubreyq says:
abhibh says:
Haha u got him there :p
Alex Rodriguez Jr. says:
This would be amazing using pictures you choose
ANTarantola says:
I've been wondering why Microsoft hasn't thought of this! Great app
Jf.Vigor says:
because of DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!
GoodThings2Life says:
I'm glad they leave some of these things up to developers, actually. Lay the ground work and leave room for folks to step up and shine!
ANTarantola says:
Now all that needs to happen is a live wallpaper option for your pictures on your phone... Also being able to control the friends you actually want to be on there.
Pootbuttlafunk88 says:
They also should do this with pics from the camera roll and saved pics.. Idgaf about my fb friends enough to have them on my lock screen.. lolol
GoodThings2Life says:
Indeed! Great idea!
GoodThings2Life says:
I could never use this app, safely... I have a few people with custom contact images that are less than polite while being completely accurate to their personalities. For example, I have one contact (an attractive but rather unpleasant woman) who has the image "Go eat some makeup so you can make yourself pretty on the inside, bitch." I can see that getting me in trouble.
It's a brilliant concept though! :)
aubreyq says:
Unpleasant? I'm guessing a co-worker, huh?
schlubadub says:
If she's hot then guys will tolerate a bit of unpleasantness hoping they can sleep with her ;)
WinPhan7 says:
OMFG...awesome..."okay, we suppose if you have really ugly friends, you may want to avoid it". Freakin brilliant! I love reading WPC! :D
aubreyq says:
Residing says:
Pretty cool! I would love it if Microsoft allowed this for the People Hub - I don't use Facebook, but having the pictures from my camera roll populate the little squares in the People Hub would be kinda cool. But for now, no pinning the People Hub :(
nizzon says:
I want one that does this with albumart!
JayTBennett says:
What a good idea! I may make that my Sunday project....
DaddyLikey says:
For some reason this app only picks up my friends whose names begin with the letter A.
big_slim750 says:
Same problem here...
tarzanmarzan says:
But... All my friends are ugly... :'(
cae758 says:
Very cool. Reminds me of PhotoWall, which I loved on my Nexus One and still use on my Nexus 7, only that's more a wallpaper, not a lock screen. http://larvalabs.com/
Malmer says:
Would be cool if it also had filters included, that it applied to the image before adding the gradient at the bottom. Sortof like black/white, high contrast, etc. Instagram style.
Nakazul says:
Would be cool to have animated lockscreens. Weather and daylight/night ETC is stuff i live.
neogodless says:
Can you limit it to Google/Facebook contacts? I find it rather annoying that in WP7 and WIndows RT People hubs, the collages show LinkedIn and Twitter contacts. People that I know through work or online don't need to show up there.
CurtRK says:
I submitted feedback on the app that I really can't see myself using it unless I can limit the friends it pulls from to a group, as I have a lot of business and old contacts I would not want to see on a regular basis.
Only 2 hours later the app creator got back to me and said he will be sure to put the feature into version 3 (he just submitted version 2 with some tweaks). Very awesome, he certainly earned my money for the app!
Padr1n0 says:
With all the suggestions being thrown around in the suggestion box, looks like people really like this concept. My opinion: if u guys like it, pay for the full app instead of the trial so the developer will have more incentive to crank out the updates you want. It only takes a few Bing searches.
Andy Stumpp says:
Hey guys,
Thank you so much for all these suggestions. They are so great. You can be sure that I will push regular updates into the store, so that you will be excited by new great features that help customizing your lock screen!
The update containing the letter "A" bug fix for large contact lists is already submitted and will be available during the next days. Enjoy it!
If you have any other suggestions, please contact me. There's also a feedback option in the app :-)
Thanks again!

How do so many illegal drugs get smuggled into prisons all over the United States? The author spent 20 years in various Florida prisons and tells how.
by Shawn R. Griffith
There is a drug epidemic inside America's corrections system.
While serving 20 years in Florida's prison system from 1992 to 2012 for an armed robbery, I saw every drug imaginable. Although I rehabilitated myself and quit using drugs altogether in the 1990s, that's not the case for many prisoners. At least 60 percent of the estimated 20,000 prisoners I met inside frequently used drugs. After serving time in 18 different Florida prisons, never once did I witness an institution free of narcotics. Moreover, I met hundreds of men on transfer from other state prisons, and most said that the prisons from which they had come had more drugs than Florida's institutions.
While doing research for my book, Facing the U.S. Prison Problem 2.3 Million Strong, I unearthed a number of disturbing statistics related to drug addiction of U.S. prisoners. These stats have supported my own observations in Florida. Experts in one study found that 50 to 60 percent of prisoners had drug addictions severe enough to warrant intensive drug treatment. In addition, according to the Department of Justice, a study conducted in 2004 showed that 17 percent of all state prisoners and 19 percent of all federal prisoners admitted to committing their crimes to buy drugs. Of these drug-related offenses, 9.8 percent committed by state prisoners were violent crimes. In 2007, 3.8 percent of the 14,038 homicides were known to be narcotics-related. That's equal to 533 victims of drug-related murder.
After considering these statistics, I would say that having so many prisons in the U.S. with a dynamic drug culture is a serious problem. What I wonder is just how many addicted prisoners today will commit a new murder of some unsuspecting victim tomorrow. It will occur. And it will occur partly because the system fails to adequately address the drug problem when officials have addicts inside prison. Something to think about when the question of funding prison drug programs invariably arises for public debate.

Trayvon Martin
If George Zimmerman had obeyed the police dispatcher's directive to remain in his car and to wait for patrol officers to arrive to question the person in the "hoodie," Trayvon Martin would not have been shot to death.
by Don Fulsom and Alisha Dingus
When George Zimmerman goes on trial in the sensational Trayvon Martin murder case so will the"Stand Your Ground" laws and racial profiling.
Twenty-eight-years-old at the time he shot and killed 17-year-old Martin, Zimmerman now wears a monitoring device on his ankle and hides in near-seclusion at a secret Florida location. Fearful for his life, Zimmerman dons bulletproof apparel for his rare forays into public places, according to his lawyer.
Free on $1 million bail, Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the February 26, 2012 shooting of Martin. His trial is set for June 10, 2013.
The nighttime slaying took place in a middle-class, gated subdivision called "The Retreat at Twin Lakes" in the central Florida town of Sanford. Martin, as he had several times previously, was there with his father visiting his father's financee and her son. He had the free time to be there due to being suspended from his high school at the time. That evening Martin had gone out alone to buy some Skittles and ice tea and was returning from the store when his fatal encounter with Zimmerman took place.

He mysteriously disappeared on October 12, 2012 from downtown Indianapolis, Indiana where he'd spent the evening entertaining himself at a few popular watering holes.
Peppers Bar, Applebee's Restaurant, Mindshaft, Landsharks...the 23-year-old friendly, fearless, and athletic Walton Matthew Ward spent an hour or two at all of these crowded establishments, socializing, dancing, and drinking at each one before moving on to the next.
At 10:30 p.m. when his mother buzzed his cell phone just to touch base with him again and chat for a few minutes, Ward assured her everything was okay and that, as might be expected, he was having a blast.
But shortly thereafter, at approximately two in the morning, there was a drastic change in that happy status. Ward was dragged from Landsharks by security staff into the parking lot, and during this event he placed an emergency 911 call which was terminated after only one second.
After that, the outgoing young man wouldn't be seen again until October 23rd when construction workers downtown discovered his body floating in the White River.

Editor's Note: The first Al Qaeda attack on the American homeland was the February 26, 1993 bombing at The World Trade Center, a complex owned and operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This attack killed six people and injured more than a thousand. It also traumatized millions of people in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
Even though this was the most destructive bomb attack suffered by American civilians in a time of peace, it took more than 10 years for authorities at all levels of government to admit that America had been attacked by terrorists who were encouraged and protected by foreign nations. It took just as long to admit that the organization that was responsible for 9/11 was also responsible for the 1993 attack.
Patrick Campbell was in the lobby of the North Tower when the bomb exploded in the basement 20 feet below him. A marketing manager for the Port Authority, Campbell describes the chaos that enveloped the Trade Center in the aftermath of the explosion and the many questions that still haunt him about this terrible day.
by Patrick Campbell
At approximately 11:30 a.m., a Ryder van rolled at a leisurely pace northwards on West Street in Lower Manhattan towards the underground parking garage at the World Trade Center, located on West and Vesey streets. Eyad Ismoil was at the wheel and Ramzi Yousef, the terrorist leader, sat beside him. Following the van in a red getaway car was Mohammed Salameh and Mahmud Abouhalima, with Abouhalima at the wheel.
The four men were part of an Al Qaeda terrorist cell based in Jersey City, New Jersey, and they were now completing a mission that they had been working on for the previous five months. Yousef is a nephew of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the Al Qaeda leader who planned the 9/11 attack.
The van entered the World Trade Center parking garage and Abouhalima continued to drive the red getaway car for half a block and then turned right into Vesey Street, which is the northern boundary of the World Trade Center site. Vesey Street is a very wide street and Abouhalima had no problem double parking while he waited for Yousef and Ismoil to emerge from the garage.
The garage seemed empty as the van arrived on the second level below the street [the Basement 2 level], but for a moment Yousef thought they had a problem when he saw a Port Authority van, the same size and color as the Ryder van, parked in the spot previously selected by Yousef to park the Ryder van. However, the Port Authority van suddenly started up and headed off towards the exit, and Ismoil swung the Ryder van in and took its place.
While Ismoil kept an eye out, Yousef lit four fuses, three of which were back-ups in case the first one failed, and then he closed and locked the back of the van, while Ismoil locked the front doors, and both then strolled across the garage to the elevators servicing the North Tower lobby. When they arrived in the lobby they exited through the West Street entrance and within four minute of lighting the fuse they were in Abouhalima's getaway car and were speeding away from the World Trade Center. The fuse would burn for another seven minutes and then the bomb would explode. By this time, the terrorists were in the Holland Tunnel on their way to Jersey City.

An excerpt from The Beverly Hills Supper Club: The Untold Story Behind Kentucky's Worst Tragedy by Robert D. Webster. This is the true untold story of what led to Kentucky's worst tragedy – a story of greed, corruption, deceit, mafia rule, government cover-ups, kidnapping, and even murder. In fact, this book details what should now be considered as the worst case of mass murder in United States history.
by Robert D. Webster
It seems to me it was a Wednesday night. I may be wrong, but I think that's when I received a telephone call that persuaded me to begin a project that would completely consume the next five years of my life. The man introduced himself as David Brock, but I certainly didn't know who he was. In search of an author, he had been given my name and telephone number by the staff at the Kenton County Public Library in Covington. I had written two other books and dozens of smaller articles on local history, and he was told that I might be the person to talk to. Before 30 seconds had elapsed in the call, he posed his simple question: "Would you be interested in writing another book?"
Thoughts quickly went through my mind, "Oh my gosh. If I start yet another book and spend more countless hours locked in my office, my wife's going to leave me." I had just finished a book detailing the history of the many movie theaters that had once graced the streets of our Northern Kentucky neighborhoods. In fact, my office was still filled with clutter left behind after months of necessary research for the publication. I had to admit, however, I was more than a little curious as to the topic. I had always been interested in local history and maybe this gentleman had a good idea. I asked, "What about?" His reply: "The Beverly Hills Supper Club fire."
At first, I thought I had dodged a bullet. While I didn't know everything there was to know about the fire, I certainly knew there had already been quite a lot written on the subject. The story was more than 30 years old, yet it was a topic that remained extremely familiar to residents throughout the region. Also, there had been very little written about the club's early history and that greatly intrigued me. The place was a speakeasy in the 1920s, serving illegal alcohol during the Prohibition era. From the late 1930s to the early 1960s, it was one of the largest illegal gambling casinos in the entire Midwest – owned and operated by members of the Cleveland syndicate. A concise account of the club's entire history might prove to be a great seller. However, the Beverly Hills Supper Club is best known for one particular event.

Emory University Medical School
Back in 1999, Dr. James Murtagh, a member of the faculty at the Emory University Medical School, had the temerity to cooperate with a National Institute of Health investigation of widespread grant fraud being perpetrated by his employer. Emory retaliated, ousting Dr. Murtagh and making his life as miserable as it can.
by Michael Volpe
Emory University in Atlanta is a relatively small university with a very prominent reputation. It's often referred to, along with Duke and Davidson and a few others, as being part of the "Ivy League of the South." Because of Emory's superior academic qualifications, its graduates dominate the ranks of the employed of most of Atlanta's media, courts, business, and political worlds. But under this veneer of respectability that Emory projects, a great deal has been and continues to be amiss in its Medical School, particularly its dealings with Grady Hospital, one of the largest public care facilities for the poor in the world.
Emory's treatment of Medical School faculty member Dr. James Murtagh has opened up a Pandora's Box of ills. Rather than deal with the many issues of fraud and conflict of interest uncovered over the last 13 years by the National Institute of Health and other government agencies, Emory has persisted in stonewalling instead of reforming.
When Dr. James Murtagh first began cooperating with investigators from the National Institute of Health in 1999, he never imagined that the consequences of that would still be playing out in an Atlanta courtroom more than 13 years later.

Bath School Massacre
The worst school massacre in U.S. history took place in 1927 in the little town of Bath, Michigan where 38 students, two teachers and two rescuers were murdered and 53 others seriously injured.
by David Robb
The worst school massacre in U.S. history was not Virginia Tech, where in 2007 a gunman killed 32 people and wounded 18 others; it was not Columbine High School, where in 1999 two teenagers shot and killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 21 others; and sadly, it was not Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012, where another mass murderer killed 20 children and six adults.
The worst school massacre in U.S. history took place in 1927 in the little town of Bath, Michigan, when Andrew Kehoe blew up part of a school and his own car, killing 37 students, two teachers and two rescuers – and seriously injuring 58 others, including two students who would die later from their injuries. If the 400 pounds of dynamite Kehoe had placed at the other end of the school's basement had detonated as planned, the bombing could have killed far more of the 275 students and 12 teachers in the school that day.
Today, Kehoe's heinous crime is all but forgotten.
Abraham Lincoln
by Michael Thomas Barry
On May 25, 1861, John Merryman, a state legislator from Maryland is arrested for attempting to hinder Union troops from moving from Baltimore to Washington during the Civil War and is held at Fort McHenry by Union military officials. His attorney immediately sought a writ of habeas corpus so that a federal court could examine the charges. However, President Abraham Lincoln decided to suspend the right of habeas corpus, and the general in command of Fort McHenry refused to turn Merryman over to the authorities.

Rikki: "Hi, Dr. Grumpy! Do you need any samples of Fukitol today?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Actually, yes, I'm all out."
Rikki: "I don't have any right now! Sorry!"
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
well, that explains why they are your "least favorite" then...
She did that to taunt you. Jerk!
Did she say it in a phoney high-pitched voice all excited like a stereotypical blonde?
That's how I envision it.
StudentDoc- you better believe she did. Hyper, too. I think her TSH is in the negative numbers.
She sounds like she needs a sedative.
Old MD Girl- she needs a Conrad Murray Propofol drip.
She's getting you back for the tomato incident!
Propofol drip...lmfao...I definitely could've used that on several of the drug reps I've encountered over the years.... *priceless*
See, Dr. Grumpy, there IS a God. You wished for stupidity and POOF! Rikki appeared.
yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today!
Where can I get some of that?
My prescription to Givadam ran out.
Like when lab calls up critical platelet results, then tells me we're out of platelets. Great, thanks for calling up those criticals so I can hurry up and do nothing about them.
Did she even OFFER to bring you back some of the new, extended released FUKITOL-2L?
Pattie, RN
Aww man. I stumbled across this blog accidentally while searching random funny medical stories. While I am not Ms. Phoneysmile, I am a Rikki. For some reason that perhaps a psychiatrist might explain, I presume that being a Rikki gives me the right to beat the sense into those with the moniker who don't have any. You know, like a special super secret club initiation. If the next time she comes to see you it's as a patient, it wasn't me. >.>

The College Board voted unanimously Thursday in a meeting in Cleveland to appoint LaForge as Delta State's eighth president, succeeding John Hilpert. The vote came after LaForge met with campus groups.
"There's no reason why this university cannot excel, so that we become truly a Mississippi university of national distinction," LaForge told supporters as he was introduced.
A 62-year-old Washington, D.C., lobbyist and former president of DSU's alumni association, LaForge grew up in Cleveland. He's the son of William F. LaForge, who was a professor of history and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Delta State. The school's Roberts-LaForge Library honors his late father, and LaForge himself was alumnus of the year in 1992.
Board officials say those deep ties will help LaForge attract more students to the 4,800-student campus and court more donations.
"He has a great following already," College Board member Alan Perry, who led the search committee that interviewed LaForge and six other candidates, said in a phone interview. "He has a lot of support."
LaForge starts work April 15. He will be paid $221,812 a year, said College Board spokeswoman Caron Blanton. Hilpert, who has led the school since 2003, plans to be on the job through the school's May 4 commencement. LaForge said that overlap should help him learn the ropes. "I envision a very smooth transition," he said in a phone interview.
Perry said LaForge's top immediate challenges are to increase enrollment and to choose new top executives to assist him. LaForge said he hopes to use Delta State's decision to abolish out-of-state tuition to bring in more students from Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and abroad.
"I will be recruiting in the high schools personally," he said.
LaForge is a former chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi. He has taught part-time college classes for 30 years and been a visiting law professor in Russia, Poland and Bulgaria. But he's never worked full time for a university.
A private lobbyist since 1990, LaForge would be the second former Cochran chief of staff leading a Mississippi school. The board named Mark Keenum as Mississippi State University president in 2009.
LaForge said Cochran was one of the first people to call him after the College Board nominated him for the presidency last week.
After graduating from Delta State, LaForge earned a law degree from the University of Mississippi and a master of laws from Georgetown University. He also studied international law at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
LaForge and his wife Nancy have two adult children, Caroline and Clayton.

PDT Staff Writer
With Portsmouth City Council considering a new noise ordinance based on complaints about the sound produced by the musical acts appearing at the Columbia Music Arena, the owner of that facility, Lee Scott, appeared before Council Monday night to ask to be grandfathered in, if such an ordinance is enacted.
"If a new ordinance is going to be proposed or passed, I request that the Columbia be grandfathered out of this ordinance," Scott said.
The point of contention is the lack of a roof over the concert area, allowing the sound to escape into the neighborhood.
"At this point I don't think that we should be forced to go in debt $300,000 to put a dome on the building. We were forced to close down early every concert we had last year."
Downtown businessman Terry Ockerman also spoke to Council and reminded them there is already a noise ordinance on the books that should be enforced. He showed Council a stack of surveys of residents and businesses in that area.
"There are some people saying, 'do we need an ordinance?' some of them just said, 'yes we do,'" Ockerman said. "I thought we had a noise ordinance in effect. In my opinion we've had a noise ordinance in for a long time. The reason we're going through this right now, in my opinion, is you're just giving everybody the opportunity to say, 'look, if you're going to do business downtown, you need to do it right."
Adding an extra wrinkle to the situation is the fact that Fourth Ward Councilman James Kalb is the manager, and, according to Scott, had been planning to purchase the Arena.
"You're looking at making a decision, now based on what you have to read, and whoever sends you a chart or a graph or whatever. Last season I extended an invitation to not only all the Council members but all the elected officials and guests to come down and to see first hand what was being discussed as far as the noise problems," Kalb said. "And the former Solicitor (Mike Jones) advised against that for some reason. But I'd like to extend that to this year. It looks like we're going to have to do something about the noise ordinance before that time. And you're looking to make a decision on a noise ordinance that's basically information from what everybody got off the Internet, I haven't printed it out yet, the noise study I think was 39 pages, that Mr. Ockerman, the chief complainant in this whole noise ordinance thing, had bought and paid for. So personally I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in it. It sounds like a lot of the same things we had up at the podium in the past complaining about the noise."
Scott noted that this problem has been at a standstill.
"Mr. Kalb was cited for having a noise violation. It was supposed to have been worked out multiple times; it never happened," Scott said.
If enacted, the rough draft would carry with it a maximum permissible dB level, set by time of day and according to the zoning status of the locations. The decibel levels would be based on "A-Weighted Decibel Level (dBA)," which means the decibel level reading is corrected using frequency weighting corresponding approximately to the 40 dB equal loudness curve, that is to say, the human ear's response to low to medium sound levels. It is by far the most commonly applied frequency weighting and is used for all levels of sound.
Allowable levels for Table 2 Maximum permissible A-Scale Fast Time-Weighting Decibel Level LAFmax would be 85 dBA from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; 80 dBA from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m.; 70 dBA from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m., and 65 dBA from 2 a.m. until 7 a.m.
"I guess I'm just not real happy that people want to make rules to go back and do something wrong," Scott said. "I did nothing wrong. I shouldn't be forced to pay. We did everything according to plans, even exceeding. I don't want to be a bad neighbor to my neighbors down there."

These are honestly the best Adipower Howard's I've worn yet. they're stylish but unlike their predecessor they don't stand out for themselves. Playing wise I would give them a 4.5 out of 5. They take some time to break in and they're on the heavy side for a big man shoe but once broken in they're your feet and ankles best friend. traction is phenomenal and allows proper pivoting, drag stepping, etc. For my style(Power foward but also Center) of play they fit just fine for my game. the cushioning and breath ability are also great thing's that make this the best. I would recommend this shoe to any "big man" because it's the shoe for you.

I saw these shoes on NBA 2k12 and thought they pretty cool. I got lucky enough to get the last pair in my size in the color that I wanted.......I got even more lucky with the fact that the quality of these shoes is tremendous. They are one of the comfiest shoes I've ever worn. They are not very light, but who cares because they are for bigmen. I honestly just wear them for casual purposes, but I highly recommend these shoes for people playing basketball or people who just want a good pair of shoes to wear around.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Fresho Love it!
The first 'weird' sensation when i tried on, was that there was a elastic 'thing' that binds the shoe to my foot, which was perfect because it felt more flexible. Kinda different than the predecessor and felt more comfy especially the neck of the shoe, its smoother and the price is near twice cheaper than rose 3.

I got these shoes for christmas, and so far they are AWESOME. they were light, comfortable, stylish, great traction, and the camo design on the side looks really cool. Another awesome thing is that im a guard and they are still light enough and make me quick. The only two bad things were that it creased a little, it was a little big, and the stripes got foggy when ever i played. otherwise great shoe Adidas keep making more.
