Here's one of the reasons I don't miss cable, especially the "news" channels.

She's talking to a Congress Woman who is in Davos about NSA spying for God's sake.

I'm hard pressed to remember which "news network" was the worst.

Source: AZCENTRAL.COM

The 16-year-old girl arrested in Glendale on Saturday in connection with strangling her 43-year-old boyfriend during sexual activities will face trial as an adult after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office agreed to charge her with second-degree murder, according to court documents.

Glendale police say Jessica Burlew used an electrical wire to choke Jason Ash during sexual activities. When Ash seemed to have passed out, Burlew told officers she cut him with a razor to get him to respond. She told officers that she continued to cut him to relieve her own stress, according to the documents.

Ash was declared dead at about 5:45 p.m., according to the documents.

Burlew told police she and Ash would often engage in these types of activities prior to sex, according to the documents.

Man arrested after burglary loot tracked by GPS

Posted: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 9:22 am

A Chino Valley man is jailed after the victim of a Phoenix burglary and authorities used GPS tracking to locate one of the stolen items.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says the burglar took electronic items and jewelry but that the victim had installed a GPS tracking device in one item in case it was ever stolen.
The victim contacted authorities after using the GPS system to track the item to a Chino Valley home.
Deputies went to the home and were allowed to search it. The locator led them to the bedroom of the homeowner's son, and the deputies found items stolen in the burglary under the bed.
The Sheriff's Office says 37-year-old James Yunis later was arrested and jailed. It's not immediately known whether he has a lawyer.

Target to pull health coverage from part-time workers

Source: Twin Cities.com/Pioneer Press

Target Corp. said Tuesday it will stop offering health insurance coverage for its part-time workers, effective April 1.

Instead, the Minneapolis-based discounter is offering $500 to employees who are losing their coverage, and directing them to seek coverage through health insurance marketplaces run by states or the federal government.

"Health care reform is transforming the benefits landscape and affecting how all employers, including Target, administer health benefits coverage," Target's vice president of human resources, Jodee Kozlak, said Tuesday on its corporate blog.

"Our decision to discontinue this benefit comes after careful consideration of the impact to our stores' part-time team members and to Target, the new options available for our part-time team, and the historically low number of team members who elected to enroll in the part-time plan."

Target said less than 10 percent of its workforce currently enrolls in its part-timer health insurance plan.

After years of warning people about the dangers of responding to unsolicited e-mail offers

The geniuses at Target Corp pull this stunt.

Naturally, given the recent news about Target's credit card security woes — and the fact that the "free credit monitoring" messages were sent with return addresses outside the target.com domain and were sent even to customers who hadn't shopped at Target during the period in which the security breach occurred — many recipients were suspicious of those messages and believed they might be part of the same (or another) scheme to compromise credit card numbers. However, although Target perhaps could have found a better way of notifying customers about their offer, company representatives have confirmed that the free credit monitoring messages are legitimate and were indeed sent by Target.

So CGI is out and Accenture takes over the Obamacare enrollment website

While everyone was crossing a bridge in New Jersey this little noticed news was dumped Friday night.

No doubt CGI had to go, a scapegoat was needed, but just who is Accenture.

Well for one thing they're what's left of Arthur Anderson after the Enron scandal blew up and took them with. Everybody is entitled to one mistake though, right?

Oh and that thing about corporate headquarters being in Bermuda....

The Lessons of Physical Therapy By GABRIELLE GIFFORDS

TODAY, the anniversary of the shooting in Tucson that put a bullet through my head and killed six of my constituents, is when I make my annual resolutions.

Many may look at me and see mostly what I have lost. I struggle to speak, my eyesight’s not great, my right arm and leg are paralyzed, and I left a job I loved representing southern Arizona in Congress.

But three years ago, dispatched to an almost certain death by an assassin’s bullet, I was allowed the opportunity for a new life. I had planned to spend my 40s continuing my public service and starting a family. I thought that by fighting for the people I cared about and loving those close to me, I could leave the world a better place. And that would be enough.

Just found on my Twitter timeline

Think there might be a connection?
