Bottom Dollar, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General ... what do they all have in common?
They all thrive on the New American Economy. Thrift shopping has become a very important facet of survival. While Malls are watching stores shutting their doors, we see dollar stores growing everywhere. And, of course, many of the items sold by these dollar stores are inferior Asian products. Buyer beware.
Indian's pitcher Chris Perez should be Hagan's spokesperson, as he is suffering from an injury and had marijuana mailed to his home. He and his wife were both arrested!
Catholic schools face many of the same problems that public schools do today. Crime seems to gravitate towards schools more so than in past generations. School buildings are aging and need upgrading. Windows, doors, floors and ceilings wear out and plumbing, heating and wiring need upgrades. If a school does not maintain their property with upgrades, they will see a drop in enrollment, as students and parents want what is best for them.
Mooney is old and many students are coming in from the 'burbs because that is where their parents have moved, but how long will parents continue to send them to Mooney? Possibly the 18 million in upgrades will help, but I see another issue and that is the quality of the city environment around the school. The city needs to also step in and clean up their neighborhoods around and near the school.
Certainly politics could have played a big hand in the Bishop's decision. Now politics must step up to the plate and get in the game rather than sit back and beg people to stay. If you want people to live, work and learn in your community, you have to give them the desire to do so.
Finally...he should have done the school a favor and left years ago. This joker has been an embarrassment to OSU for years and I could not believe they re-hired him back again a few years back.
When I had out-of-state family visit us during the holidays and we would watch a Gordon Gee interview during an OSU game, the out-of-state family members, would say ... "You have got to be kidding me...he's the President of Ohio State University?"
It doesn't matter, because the drunks will continue driving anyway. Our police can't even enforce the current law because of so many abusers and judges continue releasing for good behavior or house arrest because there are no jail cells available.
I know of one youngster who lost her license to drunk driving and called her boyfriend to pick her up from jail and her boyfriend was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving on his way to pick her up.
These "kids" can't even afford to pay their fines, but find the money for drinking every night. Its really sad that our younger generation is degenerating before our eyes, with no desire to change, and no comprehension of their future.
Joe from Hubbard is correct. The IRS should not be involved in politics and apparently someone had encouraged them into that direction. It will be interesting to see how far this goes, or doesn't.
As far as people in the so-called Tea Party being accused of being racists, hate mongering and anti American groups...I see the socialist liberals are trying to drum up trouble again by spreading false rumors in the hope it spreads.
Remember Acorn? Social Liberals. They were once the grass roots organization that taught people how to cheat the government and vote multiple times during the same election.
Never fear, Drugged up applicants are here in Ohio as well. They can present themselves well during an interview and even will indicate passing a drug test will be no problem. Then the reality hits ... yep, they're users.
You would think, well what's the harm? They seem so nice. Until payday. Then, they begin using again, Missing time from work. Lagging production. Making others pick up their slack. Trying to befriend co-workers into becoming users. Stealing from their employer. I have heard of applicants stealing from a business where they just filled out an application for employment. They were on camera! But many times the employer does not file charges, they're just happy to get rid of them!
When they sense their time is nearly up, they look for a free ride...discrimination, job related injuries, harassment, lawsuits...that is why employers have to go through so many background checks, drug tests, Facebook, Twitter, even go out to the parking lot and look at their car while they fill out paperwork. Is the applicant living in a trashed vehicle? If so, do you want them working for you? When you have a basket full of applications, you can be selective, but which one is the right one? And once you hire them, how long will they stay before they move on for a better opportunity?
The hiring process today is such a dynamic event and uses so much of an employer's time, many employers resort to a hiring agency to sort through all the mud.
Today's workforce is much more complicated and dynamic than in years past, so it requires much more careful work as well as hope that it pays off.
Police: Pa. woman hid wedding booty in her bra
This isn't anything new. People have been stealing from wedding receptions for years. Cases of booze, beer, rental chairs, purses, camera's, etc.

OSU's Gee retires after Notre Dame comments

Should the blood-alcohol content to be considered driving drunk be lowered from 0.08 to 0.05?
It doesn't matter, because the drunks will continue driving anyway. Our police can't even enforce the current law because of so many abusers and judges continue releasing for good behavior or house arrest because there are no jail cells available.

Wine drinkers go light and white for summer
I prefer the Pinot Grigio from Grand River Vineyards, but also like the Riesling from Ferrante's in Geneva.
