Manager will face bosses for his review
Unfortunately, Corpus Christi does have a very LOUD vocal few who always yell THROW THE BUMS OUT no matter who is being discussed. Please think a little before you make such a serious statement. Re-read Post #7's comments, we could wind up a heck of a lot worse off if we go off half cocked and do something stupid. Personally, I hope Skip Noe is with us for a very long time.

Philips' brings travel expenses down to earth
Dutch electronics giant Royal Philips Electronics has streamlined its travel and entertainment programme through strategic alliances with SkyTeam and American Express. In 2005, the manufacturer chose to rationalise its supplier base, buying services on a global basis. As part of that strategy, it signed a deal to take travel services through SkyTeam, a global airline alliance of nine members - Aeromexico, Air France, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air and Northwest Airlines - covering travel in over 30 countries. To keep track of expenses, it opted for the travel and entertainment programme offered by American Express. You what? Bust through tech jargon with silicon.com's Cheat Sheets. The Amex service benchmarks each of Philips' negotiations with SkyTeam against a list of other transactions by companies of a similar size and business, made up from its own customer list.

MATT HELMS
Weve been ranting and raving about how horrible they can be, but we neednt explain that to Sue Matteson of Bloomfield Hills. She was headed to her boyfriends home for dinner the other night in her brand-new 2008 Pontiac G6, driving in the left eastbound lane of South Boulevard between Opdyke and Martin Luther King in Pontiac. You guessed it. A tire-killer was a bit hungry Thursday night.
I couldnt avoid it. I hit that thing and thought, Holy smokes!' Matteson told me. I went flying on my car. I had to pull into a party store parking lot in Pontiac and waited for AAA for two hours.
She just bought the car two months ago.
The repair bill: $580. Matteson needed a new right wheel and tire, a suspension part or two and a front-end alignment.
Police Seek White, Thin Man In Killing
The man, whom police have called a "person of interest" but not a suspect, was seen by neighborhood residents about the time of the killing Monday on Madison's South Side. Police spokesman Joel DeSpain on Friday said detectives now are comfortable describing the man as white and having a thin build. Before Friday, police hadn't released a race for the man, because of conflicting witness reports, or an estimated weight or body shape. The man also was said to be about 6 feet tall and was last seen carrying a new-looking, bluish-gray backpack and wearing a white knit cap with a red W on it. He was described as wearing a tan, sheepskin-type jacket, though police aren't sure if it had a hood or not. .
Dems Should Thank Nader, Not Trash Him
I was part of a group of people in my class at St. Michael's High School in Santa Fe who, when we were assigned to participate in a mock presidential election, decided Bill Clinton and Bob Dole were unacceptable choices and began looking for another option. We discovered Nader. We decided to try a political experiment: We wouldn't engage in any debate on the issues. We wouldn't even really educate ourselves on what Nader believed. We would simply try to make voting for him cool, and see if we could win the school's mock election that way. For many of us, it wasn't about the issues. It was about protesting the two-party system that has been dominated by white men and corrupted by money. A few weeks before the election, a poll of students confirmed what we suspected: Nader was way ahead of Dole and right on the heels of Clinton in our mock election.
Travel agency makes BBB 'Dirty Dozen' list 7:07 AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Last year, consumers filed more than 14,000 complaints with the Better Business Bureau in Charlotte against businesses across the southern Piedmont. And some of the names, you've heard before. We first told you about accusations against Sonshine Tours and Travel out of Mooresville back in August. Dozens of people e-mailed and called us, saying they paid for trips that were later cancelled but never got their money back. Now, the agency is on the BBB's newly released "Dirty Dozen" list. Overall, the company's former owner, Steve Young, is accused of stealing $650,000 from more than 400 customers. Detectives say they've turned the case over to the U.S. Attorney's office. The FBI is also working hard to build a federal against the man we exposed.
Helping out mom and dad
Since then she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease in 2006. Smith, 93, now must use a wheelchair.Although her brothers do as much as they can with yard and house maintenance, Hardin shoulders the day-to-day responsibility of Smith's care.By May 2007 Hardin said she was exhausted "and just felt I couldn't do it anymore. I love my mom, and she was tired out, too. We both needed help."That's when she contacted the Kittitas County office of Aging & Long-Term Care for assistance.Numbers are climbingHardin's arrangements with her mother and the challenges they face are part of the lives of an estimated 30 to 50 million people who provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend in the United States, according to federal government and caregiver association figures from 2000.The numbers have obviously increased since then in all categories of home caregiving as the population grows, the elderly live longer and as baby boomers face how to deal with their sometimes frail parents.Although specific, updated estimates on the number of adult children taking care of one or both parents weren't located, one 2005 source indicated that up to 72 percent of family caregivers are assisting a parent or grandparent, either by living with them or assisting them through regular visits to their home or apartment.In Washington state, 2004 estimates put family caregivers at 616,302 people.No family caregiver figures were available for Kittitas County, but the state estimates that by 2015 those aged 65 and over in Kittitas County will increase 46.1 percent.The state estimated there were nearly 4,500 people in Kittitas County in 2006 aged 65 and older.According to a study by the Center on an Aging Society at Georgetown University, more family caregivers are needed.
