Always Available When You Need Me
Call us to speak with our experienced Attorney and get the advice you need.
It is important to know what options are available to you before you move forward.
Call today or fill out this easy online form to have an attorney review your DUI case.
Probably. It really depends on the Court. That said, most but not all,
district and municipal judges in the Seattle area are imposing it as a
condition of release - even on 1st offense DUI's. Your attorney can always
object to no consumption as a condition. However, if you do, I would suggest
having at least the alcohol/drug evaluation and any recommendation completed.

Medallic Art & Mint is now part of Medalcraft Mint
We would like to welcome all of Medallic's customers and look forward to answering any questions during this transition.Close
The long and storied history of the Olympic games has many notable individuals who have achieved greatness in their chosen sports. Bronze, silver and gold medals have become synonymous with victory and accomplishment. Here are just a few names who have distinguished themselves as some of the most decorated athletes to compete at the highest levels of competition:
(Also see: The Fascinating History of Olympic Medals)
His name has become synonymous with Olympic glory for his participation in track and field events from the mid-80's to the mid-90's. He has ten medals in all, winning four gold in Los Angeles during the 1984 Games, two gold during the 1988 Games in Seoul, two more in Barcelona in 1992, and his final gold medal in 1996 at the Atlanta Games. He was consistently perched at the top of the world rankings in many events including the 100 meter, 200 meter, and long jump competitions during that same time. Lewis also holds the distinction of being named Sports Illustrated magazine's Olympian of the Century as well as Sportsman of the Century by the International Olympic Committee.
The name may not be as familiar to you as some others on our list, but she holds the distinction of being not just the youngest athlete to win her sport of canoeing she's also the oldest at ages 18 and 42, respectively. She competed in six different Olympic games and won eight gold medals in that time. She can also claim the distinction of winning medals for both East Germany and the country of Germany after reunification. Fischer is among the most decorated female Olympians in the long history of the Olympic Games as she also holds four silver medals in addition to the eight gold medals she won for two different countries.
Swimming has long been one of the strongest sports for American Olympic athletes as many of our best and brightest have won a multitude of medals in a variety of events. Among the most notable is Mark Spitz, who held the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympic games (Munich 1972), until Michael Phelps beat it 35 years later in 2008. Spitz's full tally includes those seven gold medals in 1972, along with two more gold, one silver, and one bronze earned in both the 1972 Games and the 1968 Games in Mexico City. He still holds the record for setting a world record in seven different events, the same ones in which he earned those gold medals in 72. He was named World Swimmer of the Year by Swimming World Magazine in 1969, 1971, and 1972 and is still considered one of the greatest swimmers who ever competed in the Olympics.
This Japanese gymnast also holds an impressive count of medals earned in a small period of time. He won 12 medals in all from 1968 to 1976, earning eight gold, three silver, and one bronze and continues to hold the record for most gold medals won by a male gymnast and a Japanese Olympic athlete. He was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2001 and remains one of the best to ever compete in floor exercises, team competition, and parallel bar events.
The man who beat Spitz's record isn't just one of the most decorated Olympians ever, he's also become a household name since winning 22 Olympic medals in all, 18 gold, two silver, and two bronze. That medal tally is broken up in rather impressive chunks as he won six in 2004 at Athens, the aforementioned eight to beat Spitz's record in Beijing, and four gold in London in 2012. He also holds world records in a number of events including the 100 meter butterfly, 200 meter butterfly, and the 400 meter individual medley. Like many of the athletes on our list, Phelps has been awarded various accolades such as World Swimmer of the Year on seven different occasions, American Swimmer of the Year on nine. Sports Illustrated named him Sportsman of the Year in 2008.

DevOps is both a hot topic and an overused term today, leading to an endless stream of contradicting definitions and confusion. Is it a technology? An organizational construct? A combination of the two? It depends on who you ask.
This white paper, written by three VMware DevOps experts, Kevin Lees, John Gardner, and Peg Eaton, is an attempt to provide guidance in this new field, shaped by their extensive experience enabling agile software development and infrastructure delivery for customers across the globe.
Inside you will find:
Key Concepts
What's the difference between continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment? How does VMware describe the "shift to the left" and what does that mean for I&O? Gain a foundational understanding of the key definitions, guiding principles, and infrastructure & operations and developer implications of DevOps from the perspective of VMware.

What to wear under your wedding dress is as important as the gown itself. Pick the wrong thing, and it can veer into unflattering territory.
Here, Triumph Product Fit Expert Monica Harrington shares her key tips:
1. Take your underwear to all your dress fittings - getting the shape right under your dress is essential.
2. If your dress is fitted and the fabric is light, go for a seamless piece, I would suggest some shapewear to guarantee a smooth silhouette.
3. If wearing a white dress, you may find nude is a better colour option.
4. If the dress is strapless or the fabric is transparent around the shoulder area, get a perfectly fitting strapless. Never increase your underband size in your strapless as it will slip down throughout the day.
5. If you decide to wear stockings, co-ordinate your lingerie with a stunning suspender belt. Always buy this to your size, if it's too big around the waist, you risk the stockings pulling it down throughout the day. Ensure your stockings are long enough for your leg as this will put less pressure on the suspender belt.

Sprint Nextel Corporation is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. With 51.7 million subscribers, Sprint Nextel operates the third largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States (based on total wireless customers), behind Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless. Sprint is a global Tier 1 Internet carrier, and, as such, makes up a portion of the Internet backbone. In the United States, the company also operates the largest wireless broadband network and is the third largest long distance provider.
The company was created in 2005 by the $35 billion purchase of NEXTEL Communications]] by Sprint Corporation. In 2006, the company spun-off its local landline telephone business, naming it Embarq and also completed the $6.5 billion acquisition of Nextel Partners, one of its largest affiliates, which primarily provides Nextel wireless services to more rural markets.
Sprint Nextel has its executive headquarteres in Reston, Virginia and maintains an operational and engineering headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas (where the largest number of Sprint Nextel employees are based). Both internally and externally, Sprint is an acceptable short name for the company.
The company outsources its customer service operations to Convergys, the world's leading customer care outsourcing company.
The Sprint Corporation was founded in 1899 by Cleyson Leroy Brown under the name of the "Brown Telephone Company" in the small town of Abilgfene, Kansas. The company was a landline telephone company that operated as a competitor to the Bell System.[1]
In 1938, after emerging from bankruptcy, Brown changed its name to United Utilities. The company grew steadily through acquisitions and changed its name to United Telecommunications in 1972, at which time it provided local telephone service in many areas of the Midwest and South. United Telecom also operated many other types of businesses. In 1980 United Telecom launched a national X.25 data service, Uninet. To enter the long-distance voice market, United Telecom acquired ISACOMM in 1981 and US Telephone in 1984.
Southern Pacific Communications Company (SPCC), a unit of the Southern Pacific Railroad, began providing long-distance telephone service shortly after the Execunet II decision late in 1978. The Railroad had extensive rights of way that could be used to lay long-distance communications. Prior attempts at offering long distance service were not approved by the Federal Communications Commission, though the company's fax service (SpeedFAX) had been permitted. SPC was headquartered in Burlingame, California (where Sprint still maintains a small presence on Adrian Ct.).
The history of the name Sprint is, for the most part, wrong in most telecommunications resources. The "SP" in Sprint had no relation to Southern Pacific whatsoever.
In the late 1970s a contest was created by C. Gus Grant, then President of SPCC, and won by a secretary by the name of Susan Guehrig. The award was a cash prize, which Gus ended up paying out of his pocket. He had no account to charge it to so he was never reimbursed for the payout.
As referenced above SPCC was only permitted to provide Private Line service and not switched services. With MCI recently releasing EXECUNET SPCC went to court with the FCC to get the right to offer switched services. The reason for the contest was to name the new switched service. The name was derived from Switched PRIvate Network Telecommunications. An advertisement dated 7/76 confirms the source of the name.
The SPRINT service was first marketed to six metropolitan areas, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim. The switches were located in Los Angeles and New York. A customer was required to have a Private Line connection to one of these switches in order to use the service. An access fee was charged per Private Line. The customer was then billed at 2.6 cents per tenth of a minute increment.
Southern Pacific Communications became part of GTE in 1982 under the name GTE Sprint. GTE had previously acquired a national X.25 provider, Telenet, in 1979.
In 1986, GTE Sprint was merged with GTE Telenet, US Telephone, Uninet, and ISACOMM to form US Sprint. This was a partnership owned by GTE and United Telecom. In 1989 United Telecom purchased controlling interest in US Sprint. In 1991 United Telecom completed its acquisition of US Sprint. That same year United Telecom changed its name to Sprint.
In 1993, Sprint acquired Centel, which allowed Sprint to provide local service in a total of 18 states.
In 1995, the company began to offer wireless service under the Sprint PCS brand.
Sprint Partnership With RadioShackEdit
In September, 1996, Sprint announced an alliance with RadioShack, and, in 1997, Sprint Stores opened at RadioShack to offer their portfolio of communications services and products through RadioShack Stores across the United States. Since then, over 10 million Sprint cell phones have been sold via the RadioShack outlets. RadioShack was one of the first retailers to offer Sprint services and PCS cellular and an all-digital nationwide network for its customers.
On October 5, 1999, Sprint and MCI WorldCom announced a $129 billion merger agreement between the two companies. The deal would have been the largest corporate merger in history at the time. However the deal did not go through because of pressure from the United States Department of Justice and the European Union on concerns of it creating a monopoly.
In 2003, Sprint began recombining their local telecom, long distance, wireline, and wireless business units into a new company, marketing the combined company as "One Sprint". In April 2004, the separately traded wireless tracking stock, "PCS", was absorbed into the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) "FON" ticker symbol, Sprint's former ticker symbol. (FON stood for "Fiber Optic Network", which was Sprint's bragging right, but was also a homophone of the word "phone").
NEXTEL was founded as FleetCall in 1987 by Morgan E. O' Brien, a Washington, DC, communications attorney, and changed its name to Nextel Communications in 1993. In 1995, wireless pioneer Craig McCaw became a significant investor in the company. Mark Warner, a former Virginia Governor and possible 2008 presidential candidate was one of the early investors. Daniel Akerson served as CEO of Nextel for part of his career.
NEXTEL Communications was formerly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker "NXTL".
Merger of Sprint and NEXTELEdit
On December 15, 2004, Sprint and NEXTEL announced they would merge to form Sprint Nextel Corporation. While billed as a merger of equals, the transaction was actually the purchase of NEXTEL Communications by Sprint Corporation. At the time of the merger announcement Sprint and NEXTEL were the No. 3 and No. 5 leading providers in the US mobile phone industry.
Sprint shareholders overwhelmingly approved the merger on July 13, 2005. The merger deal was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and U.S. Department of Justice on August 3, 2005. The FCC placed a condition on the merger that Sprint Nextel is to provide wireless service within the 2.5 GHz band within the next four years. Sprint Nextel was officially formed on August 12, 2005, when the deal was completed.
Sprint and NEXTEL both faced opposition to the merger, mostly from regional affiliates that provide wireless services on behalf of the companies. These regional affiliates felt that the new company would be violating non-compete agreements that the former companies had made with the affiliates.
Nextel is known for its free incoming call plan. However, since the merger Nextel Customers are now able to convert their plans to the Sprint side, and Sprint Customers can convert their accounts to the Nextel side. Both changes would require purchasing new phone equipment; however, Sprint Nextel may buy back fairly new but used cell phones for up to $40.
Popular features from each side have been incorporated into the other - Sprint now offers Free Incoming plans, and Nextel now offers Fair & Flexible plans.
Sprint Nextel todayEdit
Sprint Nextel currently offers cellular phone service under its Sprint PCS and Nextel brands. It is also a provider of landline, long distance, and business telecommunications, and is a Tier 1 Internet service provider under the name SprintLink.
Sprint Nextel also offers pre-paid services through the Boost Mobile brand, and it provides services in the Philippines through the Next Mobile brand. Sprint Nextel wholesales capacity on its PCS wireless network to companies called Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO); this means the MVNO uses the Sprint PCS network for coverage. The MVNOs resell wireless services using their own brand. Current MVNOs using the PCS network to provide coverage include, 9278 Mobile, Virgin Mobile, EarthLink Wireless, BeyondMobile, Working Assets,Telispire, Excel Wireless,STI Mobile, Liberty Wireless, Powernet Global, PlatinumTel,ConnexOne, Mobile ESPN, Disney Mobile, Movida Wireless, Helio, Primus Wireless, Voce, Jitterbug Wireless, and Qwest.
Sprint Nextel spun off its local telephone division (LTD) into a separate company officially named Embarq Corporation and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol EQ. The local phone company is the fifth largest local exchange carrier in the United States (under the Baby Bells) and the largest independent local provider, serving customers in 18 states and providing local, long distance and high-speed data services to residential and business customers.
Embarq became a fully separate company on May 17, 2006. It is headquartered in Overland Park, KS.
Quadruple PlayEdit
On November 2, 2005 Sprint Nextel and a coalition of US-based Cable television providers announced a partnership where cable TV customers would be able to bundle their Sprint or Nextel cell phones with either their Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications or |Advance/Newhouse Communications cable bills. In addition the group of Cable companies agreed to their intention to develop products with Sprint Nextel where users would be able to initiate advanced features like control their Digital Video Recorder (DVRs) by cell phone.[2]
Affiliate acquisitionEdit
In 2005, Sprint Nextel acquired three of its wireless affiliates, US Unwired (deal closed in August), Gulf Coast Wireless (deal closed in October), and IWO Holdings (deal closed in October). Analysts speculate that Sprint Nextel will acquire additional affiliates.
On September 1, 2005, Sprint Nextel combined plan offerings of its Sprint PCS and Nextel brands to bring more uniformity across the company's offerings.
The new logo of the Sprint Nextel Corporation was one of the first attempts at seamlessly meshing the initial brands of both the Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications. The logo is a blend of the former Sprint "pin drop" marketing image as well as the colors of Nextel's bright yellow and black logo design with its cellular service level bars that, in past marketing, would get "typed" from a single vertical black line. [3] The company also continues to reinforce the idea of a combination of brand strengths on several levels of marketing including a voice over exclaiming "Sprint, together with Nextel" or "Nextel, together with Sprint" as a way to play on the idea of a merger of equals.
Sprint PCSEdit
Sprint PCS is the main wireless brand of Sprint Nextel, and was the main brand of the former Sprint Corporation.
The Sprint PCS network operates a 3G wireless network, using the 1xRTT standard, which is part of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard. Sprint is currently rolling out a higher speed wireless network using Evolution-Data Optimized|EV-DO technology. They expect to spend over 2.5 billion dollars upgrading the existing network to EV-DO technology. As of early 2006, Sprint's EV-DO Power Vision network reached more then 150 Million people. It is expected to reach 190 Million people by the end of 2006. Sprint has announced plans to continue upgrading their 3G EV-DO network, until it reaches 260 Million people in 2007.[4] By the end of 2007, Sprint expects to have fully rolled out their EV-DO Rev.A network-wide.[5] Sprint Nextel have also stated plans to invest $7 Billion this year to improve its network.[6]
On May 9, 2006 Sprint Nextel and Alltel agreed on a new Nationwide Roaming partnership. Sprint News Release, Alltel news Release The new roaming agreement is for both voice and (1x & EV-DO) data roaming coverage. This new partnership is different from Alltel's voice only roaming agreement with Verizon Wireless. The new agreement is (reciprocal), meaning customers from both companies get to roam on to each other's networks. Giving Alltel customers access to Sprint's 1x & EV-DO network, and Sprint customers access to Alltel's denser rural 1x & EV-DO voice and data coverage. This agreement represents the first of its kind between US wireless carriers.
Sprint's EV-DO (Power Vision) data options include Sprint TV, Sprint Radio (both streaming and SIRIUS satellite music) Stations, Sprint Music Store, Sprint On-Demand, unlimited Web access, video and picture mail, wireless chat and games. It is currently being offered in 41 states in the US.
Sprint's Vision data access starts at $10 a month regardless of whether the phone is a standard or PDA Smart-Device phone.
Unlike Verizon's EV-DO offering, Sprint's Power Vision content is available in areas without EV-DO coverage, albeit at the lower speeds of the 1xRTT network. CDMA 1x data speeds can reach 144 Kbps, while EV-DO Currently has bursts of up to 2 Mbps.
While many CDMA carriers like Verizon have chosen to use the BREW interface on their phones, Sprint has opted to use the more widespread Java interface for their phone's application support. This allows for the use of Third-Party software applications like the wireless phone web browser Opera Mini, services like Google maps, or free e-mail client Flurry Mail, and other free software applications.
Sprint Nextel maintains its nationwide PCS presence with the help of affiliates. These smaller companies, in agreement with Sprint, build network infrastructure as well as operate retail stores. In exchange, the smaller companies receive usage of Sprint's brand, radio spectrum, customer service and billing. In most cases, these affiliate carriers are transparent to the end user or consumer. This has also given Sprint a unique advantage over other carriers, in that their entire network was built for Sprint. Other national carriers coverage areas are made up of merged and acquired networks, which can cause inconsistent network harmony and other related problems.
Alamosa PCS (WAS) the largest of its affiliate carriers. Sprint Nextel completed the acquisition of Alamosa Holdings on February, 2 2006. Other affiliates include Ubiquitel, iPCS, Shentel, Enterprise, Northern PCS, and Swiftel. (See the Forced acquisitions and settlements section below for more details on acquisitions)
Sprint Nextel also offers WiFi 802.11 service in some major airports, cafes, hotels and convention centers.
Of historical note, when Sprint began offering wireless service in 1995 in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, it was the very first PCS-based wireless network in the Americas. Although the current Sprint PCS network utilizes CDMA, the Washington area network was based on GSM. Eventually Sprint converted that network to CDMA, then sold the GSM infrastructure in 1999 to Omnipoint (which eventually became part of T-Mobile USA).
Sprint Music StoreEdit
On October 31, 2005 the Sprint Music Store officially launched for PCS customers. Initial record-label participation included: EMI Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group. According to claims made by Sprint, the service has become such a hit that by February 15, 2006 one-million songs had been downloaded.[7] Then by June 27, 2006 the store had reached over 4 million downloads. [8]
NEXTEL is the former wireless brand of NEXTEL Communications, and it operates on Motorola's iDEN protocol which uses time division multiple access (TDMA) based technology. Unlike other cellular operators, Nextel utilizes the specialized mobile radio band (SMR) and was one of the first operators in the United States to offer nationwide digital-cellular radio coverage. The Nextel brand has over 18.5 million U.S. subscribers, and is particularly popular in the southern United States.
Some of Nextel's special features include its push to talk (PTT) feature, which simulates the half-duplex operation of a two-way radio, as well as GPS integration in later handsets. However, there are several downsides related to using this proprietary Motorola technology standard. It has been suggested there has been a lack of innovation in handset size, weight, and function compared to cellular industry trends, though many believe this has begun to change as result of the Sprint Nextel merger.
Initially, there was much speculation that current Nextel subscribers would be required to replace their existing handsets due to incompatibility between the standards used on both the Nextel and Sprint PCS network. However, since the time of the merger, Sprint Nextel has been working to assure its customers that both the current iDEN and CDMA technologies will continue to be supported for the current-time and that dual-band phones are being developed which will work on both networks simultaneously. Sprint Nextel plans to make a major marketing push in 2008 to convert users of the iDen network to CDMA users.
The push-to-talk (PTT) feature, with which Nextel has gained popularity, is expected to be made interoperable between the Sprint and Nextel networks by 2008. Currenty, Sprint PCS has its own push-to-talk service called ReadyLink which is based on the SIP VoIP protocol. Due to the difference in technology, users of the ReadyLink service cannot make or receive push-to-talk calls with users of the iDEN-based network. The integration of the two networks will be dependent on the deployment of Sprint's chosen successor to the first-phase of their high-speed wireless EV-DO network. The new push-to-talk platform is slated to be based on Qualcomm's Qchat product, which has been under development as a joint effort between both Sprint Nextel and Qualcomm since January 2002.
Nextel has recently upgraded their network to support the WiDEN packet-data protocol. This has allowed an increase in data speeds of up to 90 kbit/s. Currently, the Motorola i850, i860, and i870 are the only phones to support WiDEN.
By 2010, Sprint Nextel plans to absorb the Nextel brand into the Sprint PCS brand. According to earlier documentation filed sometime earlier by Sprint, the iDEN-based network was originally to be sold. [9]
In addition to the US market, Nextel has licensed its identity to NII Holdings, a holding company of which Sprint Nextel owns 18%. They have used the Nextel brand to set -up networks in many Latin America|Latin American countries.
Boost MobileEdit
The pre-paid / Pay-As-You-Go mobile services arm of Sprint Nextel (in the United States) are under the brand name Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile and its cell phones use the same iDEN mobile technology used by Nextel Communictions. The phones include the famous Nextel Walkie-talkie service known as 'Chirp'(tm)or "bleep, bleep" on Boost and Boost Mobile members may walkie-talkie to Sprint's former Nextel phone customers seamlessly. According to www.phonescoop.com, Sprint COO Len Lauer said that the carrier will make changes to halt the growth of its youth-focused MVNO Boost. Boost is outpacing Sprint growth, and is getting large enough that it will soon put a strain on Sprint's iDEN network. The iDEN network is already under pressure because Sprint was asked to give up a portion of its iDEN spectrum to the FCC in order to create clear public safety bands. The growing population of Boost users are straining the shrunken network even further, and Sprint would prefer that the limited capacity was used to serve Nextel customers, who typically pay more per month to use iDEN handsets. Sprint has not detailed how they will curtail Boost's growth, however Sprint previously announced another initiative that should thin out Nextel's crowded 800 MHz spectrum. The carrier intends to launch dual mode handsets that use CDMA for voice and data calls, and only relies on iDEN for Push To Talk. Sprint's first dual mode handset, the ic502, has already been cleared by the FCC.
Nextel phonesEdit
Nextel has been known in the past for not offering a very diverse selection of mobile phones. This is especially true when related to its selection of alternate mobile phone manufacturers, as Motorola has seldom licensed its iDEN technology out to other handset vendors. All phones on Sprint Nextel's iDEN network thus far has been manufactured solely by Motorola, except for a few specialized devices sold by vendors such as Research In Motion (RIM), which has and continues to offer for sale versions of its BlackBerry PDA-style device.
Nextel InternationalEdit
Nextel International was founded in 1996 as a subsidiary of Nextel to operate as a holding company for both mobile service and network infrastructure in foreign countries. It initially operated in Latin America and the Philippines. In 2001, Nextel International declared bankruptcy and re-emerged as NII Holdings, Inc. Following Sprint's purchase of Nextel, Nextel sold off its investment in NII; however, NII still markets under the Nextel brand name. NII currently operates in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Peru.
Nextel U.S. operations interfere with police and fire radiosEdit
Nextel's systems in U.S. cities have been linked to significant interference problems affecting municipal government trunked and conventional 800 MHz two-way radio systems. These problems are costly to address and technically difficult to resolve.
Federal Communications Commission precedent calls for the party causing interference to solve the problem. The interference stems from Nextel's buy-out of private analog FM two-way radio systems. To expand capacity of their digital iDEN systems the company purchased private commercial two-way systems from small companies in cities nationwide. After purchase the analog equipment was removed and replaced with Nextel's digital trunked system transmitters or "EBTS." In some cases these new transmitters were configured in ways that caused interference to existing systems–including police and fire systems. This interference is difficult to filter out because the original spectrum plan for the 800 MHz band interleaved business, public safety, and commercial mobile radio systems on adjacent channels.
To resolve these problems, Nextel and the Federal Communications Commission developed a plan, approved by the FCC in August of 2004 [1] to relocate systems on certain 800 MHz frequencies to elsewhere in the 800 MHz band in order to reduce the potential for interference. Specifically, systems on the 806-809/851-854 MHz band will initially swap with Nextel frequencies in the 809-814/854-859 MHz band, leaving Nextel the only user in 806-809/851-854 MHz. Then the Nextel use of the 806-809/851-854 MHz band will be swapped with the national public safety use of the 821-824/866-869 MHz band, leaving Nextel with contiguous spectrum in 817-824/862-869 MHz and the business and public safety users in contiguous spectrum at 806-817/851-862 MHz. The use of contiguous spectrum allows for simple filters to be installed to protect the public safety radio systems from interference, which is currently impossible under the existing channelization of the 800 MHz band. Nextel is paying for much of the cost of this reconfiguration, but in compensation for "lost" 800 MHz spectrum is receiving spectrum in the 2 GHz band at 1910-1915/1990-1995 MHz. The 2 GHz spectrum is near the existing Sprint PCS allocations and can be used to expand the number of channels available for that service, without needing to bid for that additional capacity in a spectrum auction.[10][11][12][13]
Forced acquisitions and settlementsEdit
Prior to the merger, the Sprint Corporation and Nextel Communications were dependent on a network of affiliated companies. Following the announcement of the merger agreement, some of these affiliates came forward with a strong opposition to the Sprint Nextel merger on the grounds that the merged company may violate existing agreements or significantly undercut earnings to these affiliates. In order for Sprint Nextel to allay some of this opposition by affiliates, they were forced to initiate discussions of either acquiring some of these affiliates or renegotiate existing agreements. In several cases the newly formed company was forced to acquire affiliated companies in exchange for them dropping their opposition of the merger. Forsee has said that the company would likely have to acquire all of its remaining affiliates.[14]
Below are some of those companies which Sprint Nextel has agreed to acquire:
- August 12, 2005: Sprint acquires the Sprint PCS affiliate US Unwired for $1.3B. Thus adding some 500,000 additional direct customers to the Sprint Nextel company. [15]
- August 30, 2005: Sprint Nextel announces the intention to acquire IWO Holdings, Inc. a mainly New England-based network affiliate for the Sprint PCS business. (This acquisition closed on October 20, 2005.)
- Another acquisition forced by Gulf Coast Wireless, added an additional 95,000 customers mainly in Louisiana and Mississippi to Sprint Nextel's CDMA network. (With that closing on October 3, 2005).
- November 21, 2005: Sprint Nextel announces a $4.3B. acquisition agreement for Texas-based Sprint PCS affiliate Alamosa Holdings. Potentially adding an additional 1.48 million customers to Sprint Nextel.[16]
- December 16, 2005: Sprint Nextel announces a $98 million agreement to acquire Enterprise Communications of Columbus, Georgia], thus adding over 52,000 customers to the company's PCS Wireless division. Sprint Nextel Acquires Enterprise Communications on January 31, 2006[17]
- December 16, 2005: Sprint Nextel announces acquisition of non-affiliate Velocita Wireless. The transaction will enhance the iDEN network's 900 MHz spectrum position. [18][19]
- December 21, 2005: Sprint Nextel Corporation and Nextel Partners, Inc. [20] finally reach an agreement for a $6.5B deal where the Sprint Nextel Corporation will acquire the largest of Nextel's affiliates to end Nextel Partners' opposition to any changes by Sprint in relation to the NEXTEL merger. [21] Once completed the Nextel Partners deal will add more than 2 million customers directly to the Sprint Nextel company.[22]
- April 20, 2006: Sprint Nextel Corporation and Ubiquitelpcs Corporation have reached an agreement where the Sprint Nextel Corporation will acquire Ubiquitelpcs, an exclusive Sprint PCS provider.[23]
Major sponsorshipsEdit
Sprint Nextel is the major title sponsor of NASCAR's top racing series, called the NEXTEL Cup. It had been believed that that the Sprint/Nextel merger would result in a name change for the 2007 season, but no name change will take place until at least 2008. [2]
- Sprint Nextel is the official wireless sponsor of the United States' National Football League.
- Sprint Nextel also holds naming rights to the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
- Sprint Nextel is one of the corporate sponsors of the Las Vegas Monorail. Wireless customers are able to purchase tickets for the Las Vegas Monorail right from their wireless phones under a system known as Mobile Ticketing.[3]

Like the Caterpillar's question to Alice in her trip to Wonderland, questions like these probably are sent through Internet search engines millions of times each day. The following are some personal anecdotes about the Internet and searching for us:
A long time friend of Glee's who'd been out of contact for many years recently got a new laptop computer and an Internet account. She wondered aloud about how to use the Net to find out what Glee was up to these days. An acquaintance of hers said "Why don't you just Google her?" She did and found Glee quite quickly.
A high school buddy of Pat's found a mention of Pat's current professional activities in a news article. He was able to trace her to her place of employment by using various search engines.
Glee was approached by a recruiting director. He'd seen her name on the program of a conference, noted it, did a search for her on the Net, and called asking if she'd be interested in interviewing for a position in his company.

Diapers for Pet Chickens
In the summer we had a pair of silkie chickens and they hatched out two clutches of eggs. With the second clutch, although nine chicks hatched, the hen stayed sitting on the other egg. It hatched two days later. At that point the hen hopped off her eggs and took the chicks for a walk. As often happens with late hatched chicks, the last chick had splayed legs and could not walk properly so just sat down. It would not survive like that so we brought it into the house.
At first we kept the chick in an old guinea pig cage. We found out how to help the chick get stronger legs by using an elastic band around the legs, and a short piece of a straw. By the time the chick was good and strong we had gotten use to it as a pet and as such it never went back outside.
Apparently you can house train chickens (they can be trained to use newspaper) but we did not know that at the time, and when we did try it was notably more difficult than house training a dog in that chickens give less indication when they are about to defecate. When we put our chicken on newspaper, he just pecked at it.
We kept the chick in a cage until it was large enough to roam around freely without worry that the cats would get it. A house chicken is messy and we had to clean up after it several times a day. Eventually I found somebody who was making dog diapers and asked if she could make a chicken diaper and she agreed.
I had to take several measurements of the chicken and note that by this time we realized the chick was a rooster. There are several styles of chicken diapers, she opted to make one with elastic that goes over the back and a pouch to catch the waste. She made it with a removable washable liner.
So far we haven't had the chicken diaper on him enough to have him get used to it. He hates it and flaps around then just flops down and wont move. He wont poop when he wears it so in that respect I guess you could say it works, additionally he doesn't crow when he is wearing the diaper so that's nice too. As it stands we only put it on for a few hours at a time and only when we are home.
I should note that the chicken diaper cost $20. I should also note, in case anyone is wondering, he is a silkie chicken but has a "frizzle" gene and is what many people would refer to as a "sizzle" chicken.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is a few months old now, but many major devices are just now receiving their update to the latest version of Android. We just saw the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7 begin receiving their updates, and now it's time for some carrier-specific devices to start receiving their Marshmallow updates.
Verizon customers have three different devices receiving updates to Marshmallow today. These include the HTC One M9, LG G3, and LG G4. The updates look to be fairly standard across all three devices, with no major variations from the new features of Marshmallow. The only change of note is that this update will add Wi-Fi Calling support for the LG G4, which is definitely a perk.
On the T-Mobile side, the HTC One M9 update is now receiving its update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. One M9 users should be happy about that, but One M8 users still have some time to wait, as T-Mobile hasn't given a specific date for the update yet.
Check out the respective source links for more info.

It's every business person's goal: bringing in more money at better margins. Drawing on a study co-sponsored by Tobacco Business and Convenience Store News, Balvor LLC's David Bishop sought to offer tips on doing just that at TPE 2017. "Winning at retail is about doing a lot of things well, across marketing merchandising, operations and the supply chain," he acknowledged. "But while there's no single thing that will be a panacea, there are actions we can take as retailers and manufacturers."
1. Educate and Empower Your People. Skilled, well-informed employees are a boon to any business, but they're even more crucial in tobacco retail, where a business can be devastated by a single age-verification transgression. While most retailers cover the basic age verification training, only 37 percent report assessing employees on their competency selling age-restricted products. "That should raise a red flag, because operating that way exposes your business to unnecessary risk and liability," says Bishop.
2. Evolve with the Times. "Retailers who adapt to and evolve around their surroundings are the most likely to survive," noted Bishop, who pointed out that manufacturers are moving toward alternatives to combustible cigarettes—and retailers need to do the same. "New products are a retailer's lifeblood, but the way we look at new products has to change because deeming regulations are drawing a line in the sand." If manufacturers are unable to bring new tobacco products to market, retailers will need to find existing products new to their stores to introduce. "Forty percent of our survey respondents reported expanding into handmade cigars," said Bishop. "If you don't carry premium cigars in your stores, that may be one to consider."
3. Explore Alternatives. The marijuana tide has turned—today, 59 percent of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana as compared to 33 percent in 2001. "That's an amazing evolution of public opinion," said Bishop, who suggested that the number will continue to increase as younger Americans reach voting age. "Thirteen percent of U.S. citizens currently use marijuana; 15 percent currently use cigarettes," he added. "I'm not necessarily suggesting selling the actual product, which is difficult for traditional retailers. Instead, explore selling accessories that support it."
4. Engage in Shaping Future Threats and Opportunities. "Advocacy gives you more control over the outcomes in areas of uncertainty," noted Bishop, who urged retailers and manufacturers to monitor legislation and regulation and talk to legislators about their perspectives. "Whether it's about increasing the purchase age to 21 or weighing a flavor ban, make your voice heard."

|Beauty Without Cruelty Lipstick, Vitamin CoQ10 Renewal Moisturizer and Hair Spray
Originating in England, Beauty Without Cruelty came into existence with the belief a woman can still look beautiful without sacrificing animal lives in the process. Lady Dowding started the "cruelty free cosmetics" revolution that paved changes to cosmetic testing as we know it today. By 1989, the company expanded in product line from hair, skin care, to cosmetics and branched out to the United States as well.
Recently, I was sent three Beauty Without Cruelty products to review. I experimented with their Natural Hold Hair Spray first. I loved that it was a non-aerosol spray, which is better for the environment and for saving money from those aerosols that always stop coming out after a short time. This hair spray gave a nice, flexible hold without any sticky or hard feel to my hair.
However, I thought the best test of this product would be to see how my hair held up on a humid, rainy day. Honestly, my hair didn't droop like some sprays that even claim to protect against humidity.
The second item I tested was their Natural Infusion Lipstick in Birch. This lipstick was a moisturizing treat with color and a soothing balm type of a feel to it for my lips. The only thing I recommend is choosing a slightly darker shade than pictured. Birch looked a bit lighter in reality than on the website shot.
The last item I tested was their Vitamin C With CoQ10 Renewal Moisturizer. This cream moisturized deeply with a combination of organic aloe vera with shea butter, botanical extracts, Oshadhi organic essential oils with vitamin C, CoQ 10 and green tea extract.
I must admit I was happy with all three Beauty Without Cruelty products. In fact, I plan on trying some more in the future.

Beautifully dressed in teal-colored strapless gown, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently came in fashion show to launch beauty products. The 42-year-old actress stepped on the stage in designer gown with matching make-up and nice shoes. This designer gown holds the label of Lebanese label Azzi and Osta, the designer brand that are still warming up many leading Indian actress now-a-days. Recently Malaika Arora has been seen in their designer gown is some function. Though Aish's style was perfect for the event but she still tries her best to be like beauty pageant when she had first walked the Red Carpet in Cannes festival 15 years back.
The princesses look appearance with bun hair style and heavy make-up doesn't suit these days beauty contest and also in the modern world. The Miss World beauty contest has changed magnificently after Aishwarya's win 1994 and after that 'beautiful' is defined freshly on the basis of excellent beauty with suitable make-up along with intelligence and physical fitness. But Aish is still in the 90s beauty mania with gorgeous gown and heavy make-up.
From this it is always our doubt that the brand ambassador of a leading beauty brand, Aishwarya, is still in the Miss World hangover and is not ready to come out of it. This is because the heavy make-up as well as this junky dress not at all suits to now-a-days glamour world environment. As the younger generation these days prefer light smoky make-up with a suitable slim gown. That's why when Aishwarya dressed herself in gorgeous gown and heavy make-up people stare at her with bewilderment. And the question is why she dressed herself like this when she looked sober in some light and simple make. People have praised her soberness in make-up in many of her earlier movies such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Josh and not only these she also looked fabulous in the last year Festival de Cannes.
God has blessed this green-eyed beauty with a gorgeous look with a perfect shape that none of the designers dress looks expensive in compare to her beauty. Hence it is proved that no one can take out the beauty pageant from her, but the opposite can be possible. Thus it can be said in this context that still she cherishes the memories and recognition of being the most beautiful woman in the world wherever she dressed herself in designer gown.

Panna cotta (from Italian cooked cream) is the simplest of desserts made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set - which is served with berries, caramel/chocolate sauce, fruit, etc.
Nowadays, panna cotta is almost invariably made with gelatin, which gives it a smooth texture and melt in your mouth. But you can create a wide range of taste and richness depends on the type of dairy used.
|Plastic Cups
|Main Ingredients
|Sweet and Fresh Strawberries
|Vanilli Essence
|Gelatine Sheets
Place the gelatine leaves into the bowl with cold water. Leave for a couple of minutes to soften. When soft, remove them from the water and put into the pan of cream. Mix together until the gelatine dissolves.
Place the pan on a medium heat and allow to warm while continuously stirring. Don't bring it to a boil. When it reaches a simmer, remove from the heat.
Then prepare a container with cold water (may be added with ice cubes), to cool the dough that had been cooked. Stir until the dough is cool enough.
There are so many reasons to love this dessert. I love a moment of dipping a spoon into a creamy pot of panna cotta, swirling a sauce of chocolate and strawberries on top.
As I know, panna cotta is always gluten-free! If you are looking for a dessert to expand your gluten-free dessert repertoire, then panna cotta should be on your list. As long as your dairy, gelatine, and flavoring are gluten-free, you are good to go. Cheers!

New York Medical Coding and Billing Schools are gaining in popularity. As the population ages, the demand for medical treatment, and thus medical billing services, is on the increase. Today's students have many options, from convenient online courses to more traditional brick and mortar schools, making educational opportunities for Coding and Billing Specialists more accessible than ever.
Medical Coding and Billing often go hand-in-hand, but are slightly different. When a patient sees a medical professional, each procedure or diagnosis is documented by being assigned a specific medical "code". These must done accurately in order for the medical practice to be paid by the insurance company. A Medical Coding professional is trained how to assign these codes; in large facilities, such as hospitals, a Medical Coder's job description might be limited to this area of expertise; however, in smaller practices employees in this field are also responsible for such tasks as:
Employers are increasingly expecting employees to have solid Medical Coding and Billing skills, and education is key to acquiring that knowledge.
As you evaluate the various New York medical coding and billing schools, first consider your employment goals. For example, if you plan to work in a smaller doctor's office, you will probably not need in-depth expertise in medical coding since you will most likely not be required to actually apply procedure codes; a basic understanding and knowledge of coding will suffice. If, however, you plan to work at in a hospital setting where coding is a job requirement, look for programs that emphasize coding.
With all New York medical coding and billing schools, look for Accredited programs that offer solid hands-on learning in a real-world setting. Ask for references and speak to several graduates of the program. Ascertain how well prepared they felt for their current employment and how much assistance, if any, they got with job placement. Doing your due diligence will help you uncover quality New York medical coding and billing schools that meet your career goals.
Whether you are looking to be a Medical Coding Specialist or a Billing Professional, New York has many opportunities for employment once you finish your coursework.
NYC's many hospitals and medical offices provide ample jobs, and the entire Tri-State region has a large demand for Medical Coders and Billers. Upstate New York, with major cities such as Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and Albany, also offer good opportunities in the Medical Billing and Coding field.
Rural residents of New York may want to consider online Medical Billing Schools as an attractive option, although many residents of urban areas or Long Island may find the convenience of not needing to commute to school more appealing. Opportunities for starting a medical billing business from home in the Empire State are also an option since virtually all the administrative tasks associated with the profession can be done remotely from a home office.
According the the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, (www.bls.gov) the New York-White Plains-Wayne, NY-NJ Metropolitan Division ranks fourth for metropolitan areas with the highest employment level in this occupation, with an hourly mean wage of $22.63, and an annual mean wage of $47,070.
Statewide, New York ranks fifth for states with the highest employment level in this occupation, and averages $20.31 per hour and $42,250 annually. A total of 8,500 medical billing specialist and related jobs can be found across the state.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts bi-annual wage data survey; for the most recent survey results in 2014, specific cities and municipalities in New York report the following:
|Mean Hourly Wage
|Mean Annual Wage
|New York - White Plains - Wayne, NY-NJ
|Pougkeepsie, NY
|Kingston, NY
|Albany - Schenectady - Troy, NY
|Glen Falls, NY
|Capital District - Northern NY Non-Metropolitan Area
|Utica - Rome, NY
|Syracuse, NY
|Ithaca, NY
|Binghampton, NY
|Elmira, NY
|Southwest NY Non-Metropolitan Area
|Rochester, NY
|Buffalo - Niagra Falls, NY
Overall, in the two year period between the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys in 2012 and 2014, wages across the state have increased an average of over $3,000 annually, and in the New York - White Plains - Wayne area the increase was over $5,000 per year.
Job prospects continue to look strong in the Empire State, making an entry into the medical coding and billing field an attractive option.Home › Medical Coding and Billing Schools › New York Medical Coding and Billing Schools
