On Will school union contract talks bear fruit?

Perhaps the school board could offer resources to study the impact of some federal regulations. And support efforts to get those repealed or fixed, so that we do have a public education system worth bragging about.

I don't understand why GM doesn't drop two more product brands...I mean if you look at their vehicles, they are the same with three different names. Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia. Lucerne and Impala. If they are going to have three brands, make them look different from each other.

This whole thing seems like a PR stunt, albeit with a very good message, to detract from that other medical care center--aka Dean St. Mary's--that people might choose.

Try slipping it into a large ziplock to prevent stuff from getting on it, but still have it close enough to read. I don't know if it works since I don't have one, but I like your idea for the use of it.

I was just arriving to work and parking. All news was coming via radio. Had heard that a plane had hit the towers in New York. I thought, wow, something terrible must have happened to the plane or pilot. Thinking it was a small, private plane and some sort of accident. Just as I was opening the door, it was announced that a second plane had hit. At that time, the image for me was still, small planes but that something intentional was happening. Not until I was in the office, where everyone had internet going, did I find out that these "airplanes" were commercial, passenger airplanes. It took a bit longer to learn they were hijacked and that one plane destined for the west coast was missing and unaccounted for.
Finally that night I turned the tv off. It was a formative event for my impression of media. There was no new news or information coming, just the same thing repeated over and over and over. Then days of no flying and wondering how we, the USA, would respond and what that might mean.
On Is decision on school closing defensible?

I agree with nscr17 on this one. Let's see what the board does. If it's not what they like, they'll come back to it again, and again, like they did with the referendum. Any bets wether they close Kennedy and move the disctrict offices in there?
On Do you use self-service checkout counters?
Posted on May 17 at 12:59 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
One or two items? I'll use the self service. A week's worth of groceries, please, I'll take the cashiering, bagging, carting and loading.
Have you noticed though that change isn't apparently considered money any longer--or it costs too much to count and process it. Pick N Save won't accept payment in change. Some Woodman's cashiers will accept it (their self serve line does). Instead you have to pay to use their change counting machine. Or you can use it free if you get a gift card that isn't for their store. What's next, no cash accepted?

On GM retirees face health insurance adjustment
Posted on December 29 at 12:39 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I notice that Dean is calling retirees with " procedures scheduled at the new hospital to make sure they understand that their insurance will treat the procedure differently than if it had been done at Mercy." WOW! This is customer service that I wouldn't normally expect. Way to go Dean!
