AT&T to begin unlocking off-contract iPhones this Sunday, April 8th (update)

AT&T to begin unlocking off-contract iPhones this Sunday, April 8th
We've just received word of a spicy strategy change, to be enacted this Sunday, that's sure to please the AT&T iPhone-loving masses. On Easter, select Ma' Bell customers with iPhones -- those off-contract with accounts in good standing -- will be able to request a carrier unlock for their device. Once freed, any micro-SIM can be used -- provided its carrier's frequencies are supported -- by the smartphone. An AT&T spokesperson was able to confirm that "a policy change concerning iPhones" would indeed be rolled-out on Sunday, but declined to elaborate further. That sound you hear? International Love, being quietly spun from the corner office of Ralph de la Vega.

[Thanks, John Crawford]

Here's AT&T's official statement on the matter:

Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones. The only requirements are that a customer's account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee.

Coming Together to Quit Smoking | Muncie Voice

In May 2008, Debbie Buckman drew her last breath after a five-month battle with lung cancer. An avid gardener, devout friend, and mother of two, Debbie never thought her smoking habit would end her life so young. She had dreams of moving back to Arizona to be with her family, seeing her first grandchild, and watching her son graduate from college. She wanted to quit and always thought she had more time. At the age of 57, her time ran out.

Debbie and her family are not the only ones who have battled with tobacco use and addiction. It is a major problem across both Indiana and Delaware County. According to the recently released 2012 County Health Rankings, 25% (or about 22,000) of Delaware County?s adult residents smoke, increasing their risk of developing or dying from diseases such as heart disease, lung cancer, and COPD. These are diseases that could be largely prevented by quitting smoking.

The silver lining is that smoking is an addiction that 60% of Hoosier smokers want to overcome. Like with many other addictions, smokers have to overcome the physical addiction to an addictive drug (in this case, nicotine) and break their smoking habit, which can mean making major changes to their lifestyle. The process of quitting is one that many people attempt to do on their own and one that, in the past, has been seen as an individual struggle. However, when smoking affects one-quarter of adult residents, it requires the help of the entire community to make a positive impact for all.

Everyone has a part they can play in helping other community members quit tobacco. Employers can offer discounted or free nicotine replacement therapy as part of their employee benefits package. Health care providers can set patients up with smoking cessation services, like the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, while they are still in the office. Community agencies can promote tobacco-free lifestyles to youth and young adults while referring adults to cessation programs in the county. Friends and family can offer support and encouragement to those who are trying to quit. There are dozens of ways that each person in the community can help others quit.

This is not just a personal effort; this is a community support that helps those who want to quit take their next steps towards becoming a non-smoker. This is an effort to help someone not only prevent life-altering and potentially deadly diseases, but also help families and friends spend more time with the ones they love. For more information on how you can contribute to a non-smoking community, visit www.tobaccofreedelawarecounty.org or www.quitnowindiana.com.

Debbie and her family ran out of time. Let?s prevent that from happening to someone else that is ready to quit.

Lawsuit alleges Zurich obstructed payment of workers comp ...

Michigan workers compensation lawyer breaks down the lawsuit and offers an opinion about whether this alleged behavior is common in the insurance industry.

Businessinsurance.com reports that a federal lawsuit can proceed against Zurich American Insurance Co. for the deliberate obstruction of workers compensation benefits.

The underlying workers compensation claim arises out of an after-hours work meeting that a supervisor was instructed to attend. She was injured in a motorcycle accident on her way to the meeting and sought workers compensation benefits.

The employer apparently acknowledged that the meeting was called to discuss work issues but benefits were denied. Testimony in the case revealed that a Zurich attorney told the employer of the importance of characterizing this meeting as a social gathering. This would make her claim invalid.

Zurich denied the claim stating that she ?may have been traveling to a social function? that she had not been ordered to attend. Zurich?s denial also stated that all business meetings are held on-site with employees clocked in.

The court in its ruling found issues of material fact regarding whether Zurich intentionally obstructed the receipt of workers compensation benefits by concealing the purposes of the meeting, filing a factually inaccurate claim denial, and continuing to deny the claim through trial.

The case will now proceed to trial on the issues and we will keep you updated on what happens.

Our experience with workers compensation claims

We regularly see insurance companies and self-insured employers deny workers compensation benefits for bad reasons. Frequently based upon bogus independent medical examinations and unfair wage earning capacity assessments.

We represented a woman from Ann Arbor, MI who was hurt from a lifting incident at home. Workers compensation benefits were denied even though she was told by her supervisor to work out of her house.

The self-insured employer claimed that no employee is allowed to work from home and that everyone must work out of the main office. Testimony at trial showed just the opposite.

Their star witness admitted during cross-examination that most people just work out of their cars. Workers compensation benefits were ordered by the magistrate.

When to seek help from a workers compensation lawyer

We advise everyone to hire a workers compensation lawyer immediately following an injury at work. The success or failure of a claim could come down to what happens in the first days and weeks.

This is especially true if an employer or its insurance company is trying to misrepresent the circumstances of a work injury.

Call (855) 221-COMP for a free consultation with one of our workers compensation lawyers in Michigan. We will make sure that your employer and its insurance company live up to their legal obligations.

Chevy Chase blasts 'Community' creator in rant

Stephen Lovekin / Getty Images file

There's a war of words going on between "Community" co-star Chevy Chase and the show's creator, Dan Harmon.

By Josh Grossberg, E! Online

If you ask Chevy Chase, there's not much solidarity right now in "Community."

The comic veteran let loose an expletive-filled voice mail to Dan Harmon, the creator of his hit NBC comedy, which has since leaked to the Internet.

The rant was in retaliation for the producer purportedly insulting Chase at "Community's" wrap party -- this after the "Saturday Night Live" alum walked off the set during filming of a key scene in the season finale.

Confused yet? Here's a timeline on how the bad blood got started.

MORE: "Community" finally gets a return date!

Word of a feud first surfaced on Reddit in a forum for fans revealing that Harmon publicly called out Chase with a "[expletive] you" speech in front of his wife and daughter for storming off before the production could finish up the third season's final episode.

Per Deadline, Chase left the bash as soon as the "Community" mastermind went off on him and subsequently left Harmon a scathing, profanity-filled phone message in which he blasted him for the ugly scolding and explained that he bailed on filming because of Harmon's failure to supply a script.

"You didn't give us a script to begin with so nobody knew what the [expletive] was going on," railed the actor. "I don't get talked to like that by anybody, certainly not in front of my wife and daughter."

Chevy, who plays moist towelette tycoon Pierce Hawthorne on the show about students at Colorado's fictional Greendale Community College, then suggested Harmon play the voice mail for anyone who agrees that what the producer did was good form. Alas, Harmon did just that and the tirade found its way to the Web.

MORE: "Community" shelved by NBC starting midseason

He also addressed, if obliquely, the bad blood between them on his Twitter page.

In response to one follower who wrote, "Nothing warrants what you did to Chevy in front of his wife and daughter. Chevy may be a [expletive], but you're no better," Harmon tweeted : "Very brave and sensitive of you! Absolutely ingenious topic to pretend to know anything about with just the right audience."

Chevy, however, isn't the only "Community" member who has a beef with the boss, according to a show insider, who claims that actors didn't receive scripts in a timely manner.

The insider notes that Chevy hasn't exactly been a sweetheart on set, leading to inevitable friction between the two.

"Chevy doesn't remember his lines, so we have to make cue cards for him to read. Also if things aren't going well because the script is changing so constantly, Chevy gets mad and wants to go home -- and does go home," revealed the source.

Chase's diva antics and constant demands for more lines have also made it harder for the crew and nearly led to a physical confrontation between the actor and his showrunner.

"Basically, you're balancing two prickly people," adds the insider.

Reps for the funnyman, Harmon and NBC were unavailable for comment.

When asked about his future on "Community" recently, Chase -- whose reputation for being difficult on set dates back to his "SNL" days and who once feuded with shock jock Howard Stern--told the Huffington Post, "I probably won't be around that much longer."

Reps for the show have not responded to requests for comment.

(E! Online and "Community" are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Business Survival and Sustainability: Integrity of Customer Service ...

Customer Service is the most important job in a business. You could have the best products in the world and have lousy customer service and never make a dime. Our customers are your friends, your best friends really. After all, how many of your friends give you money to pay your bills?

Dealing with any type of customer is as easy as you make it. Honest, cheerful prompt service is the key. That is it and nothing else. Sometimes a customer may be having a bad day. In most cases a small joke or sincere interest in the person turn their day around. If not, don?t take his or her grumpiness personally, everyone has had bad days- I am sure you can relate.

I firmly believe that the saying ?The customer is always right? is not always true. However, they are always the customer, always be willing to help them. If you don?t know the answer to their question, don?t be afraid to let them know and in the same breath tell them you will find out and get right back to them.

Being a ?no? person or making the customer feel as if you are too busy for them is something that is never done. Customers are our lifeline. Always treat them with respect. When they are being the most difficult, you be the most willing to please. Hidden disgruntled feeling toward a customer really does come across in your communication, even if you do not think it does.

Don?t be afraid to joke. Don?t be afraid to laugh. Have a good time. Get to know which movies they like to watch or their kid?s names. They are your friends; treat them as such!

Process orders as soon as they come in. Follow up on samples. Send out info when needed. Recommend other products to compliment the ones they are currently using. If you notice an order in the factory too long, take the initiative and go out and check on it without the customer having to call. Ask for letters of recommendation. Share product success stories.

This job is excellent. I have held it for many years and have made many friends.

Great products and great service are the key to great success.

Adam Sandler, Jack and Jill Sweep the Razzies!


It's sort of official: Jack and Jill is the worst movie ever made.

For the first time since its inception, The Razzie Awards - the anti-Oscars, previously held the evening before the Academy Awards - were held on April Fool's Day this year, dishonoring the lamest in cinema from 2011.

And Adam Sandler's pathetic comedy dominated the proceedings, winning every category for which it was nominated and taking home a total of 10 trophies. The previous record holder had been 2007's I Know Who Killed Me, which nabbed eight, including two for star Lindsay Lohan.

Here's a look at just how Jack and Jill/Sandler swept the competition:

Read up on it first, get some books out from the library, research online, make sure you have a decent understanding of the stock market and how investing works.Then your best bet is to contact a stock brokerage firm, because those people are paid to know when to buy and sell, and what stocks to invest in. Stock brokers are people who are employed to invest on your behalf.There are of course ways you can do this individually, seeking as forex trading, but they require years of hard work, research and luck.

What is Individual Health Insurance

The world is a dangerous place. Anything can happen anytime and anywhere. Knowing that accidents could happen to us when we least expect them to, it is the best to always be prepared. In order to protect and secure ourselves from these unexpected events, we need to have insurance. Insurance agencies offer various plans and one of them is the individual health insurance plan.

Individual health insurance

Individual health insurance is a type of plan which provides you with long-term protection and comprehensive medical coverage. If you are working in the corporate world, your employers usually provide you with group health insurance. But if you are not comfortable with this, you can always opt to get your own insurance plan. To get an individual health insurance plan, one must go through a series of tests and questionnaires for the insurance company to determine your eligibility.

If you want to get an individual plan or ?indemnity,? you will have a more varied choice of health care providers than with managed care plans. Aside from this, the costs of medical services in indemnities are only covered once you have received the bill. In other words, you have to pay the bill first, and then you are reimbursed by the insurance company. In the long run, though, you will go through less paperwork for your insurance and lower out-of-pocket costs, thus making your life a whole lot easier.

Insurance packages

Various insurance companies offer different packages, but usually these packages include maternal needs and for protection of your mental health. A drug card is also available which will allow you to purchase prescription drugs for free as they will be covered by the insurance company. Finally, not only will these companies insure you of your mental health, but they will also help you financially because they also offer certain benefits like deductions and co-payments.

Question by Erin: How come health insurance companies are allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities?
How is it legal for health insurance companies to discriminate against people with disabilities (I mean, medical disabilities), but other companies are not allowed to, like grocery stores are not allowed to? Or maybe it IS legal for other businesses to discriminate against people I am really just curious, that?s all. About the legal process. Health insurance companies kind of make me mad, because of this issue. I know I am expressing a political opinion, but I ask you not to troll. If you have a different opinnion thatn me, you can argue for it, but please don?t start trollin.?

Best answer:

Answer by Josh
You mean in writing policies? That?s one of the reasons we need health care reform, the insurance companies exclude people with pre-existing conditions. Which kind of ruins the whole concept of insurance, which is based on pooled risk.
