One of our colleagues use to live a few block away from that area - this is not the first time those shoppers have been extremely aggressive during the holidays - it is only because of this tragedy that this is getting any attention.

Those doors should have been monitored by a team of licensed Security Guards

It is sad that an area with such beautiful weather and forestry has to experience earthquakes, droughts and fires.....

Florida and southern Texas have problems with Hurricanes in what is otherwise great weather and nature.

People have to weigh the environmental benefits with the possible natural catastrophes when deciding where to live. 99% of the time everything is blissful, but it boils down to those extremely rare instances of Murphy,s law when fate ultimately happens and you will lose virtually everything.

Just for the record - he did NOT kill her.

He had a change of heart and she tried to forgive him, but after a few days, called the police to report the crime and the evidence was found soon after

In our business, there have been many 70 hour work weeks for me - including Weekends.

You find yourself working constantly because of the Web and mobile communications

You clients are now expecting close to real time reponse in some circumstances

Also, by trying to distinguish yourself from the competitors, you add more vertical services to your company

YIKES! Great way to start of a Monday morning :-D

Buying what you do not need - huh?!

Are you the same people complaining about Gas prices???

Blue jeans are a classic example of this.

Remember in the 60s and 70s they would last for years and it was no sin to patch them as they got faded.

Now all jeans look new and are thrown out with any sign of wear. If you want them faded and with holes in them, you buy them that way.

Also T shirts are another example of items that are discarded after any wear

As long as the general pubic demands this sound - it does not matter what the audiophiles think.

There is pressure for ROI and intense competition for buyers - especially nowadays with illegal downloading becoming so popular

Never forget watching this moment as a kid.

This was just after the King assassination - the Olympic committee did not understand the anger, so they banned the two players.

Even the White player got in trouble for supporting them

We just interviewed a P.T. Office Assistantt who wore her earbuds during the interview.

'It' okay, I can hear you', she said confidently :-)

Here's an idea for a future story.
What are the strangest job interviews you've had.

While it is great that she is able to find a caring family - there is a down side to all of this.

Her name, face and background will be permanently available for everyone to see for the rest of her life.

She will never be able to escape the past. Perhaps she may change her name and move to another part of the country to start anew when she grows up.

But until then, every classmate, every neighbor will know about her past.

There should be the same privacy protection for child abuse victims as there are for victims of sexual abuse

The media will protect the identity of one - regardless of age - but not the other
