I’m Sick And Tired of Michael Jackson! Other People Died Yesterday Too!

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:50:56 +0000

Yes, media attention seems to focus more in the last 48 hours on the death of Michael Jackson when another media superstar, Farrah Fawcett, died the same day. The media view of Jackson, 50, makes the family act like LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. A lot of attitude and no remorse for their actions. Jackson's life was skewed from day one, especially during the days of rumored child molestation at the Neverland ranch.

Fawcett, who made her break in Charlie's Angels, died at age 62 of anal cancer (NOTE: a bit awkward, since we have never really heard much about this!). But she was pushed to the side when news of Jackson's death popped up in breaking news headlines. Yes, for several weeks, Fawcett has been on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight and other TV tabloid shows and was in her own documentary about her battle with cancer.

Jackson, however, with his constant badgering by the paparazzi, managed to not be seen. His popularity struck the ranks of pop music to be considered "the king of pop". He couldn't exactly take away "the king of rock and roll", a title still held by the late Elvis Presley, but his girly-like behavior could take "the queen of pop" title from Madonna.

I just don't know. I think Fawcett was more popular than Jackson. That's just me. You decide for yourself…

I Get So Irritated At Internet Filters!

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:25:57 +0000

14% of all public libraries across the United States and Canada block sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking websites. Only 4% are linked to the same network as the school district and not the local library network system.

In a 2007 networking study, it was found that 59% of all libraries who block these sites resulted in more viruses than those who didn't. It was also discovered that 1% of those who didn't block these sites resulted in a virus-infected computer.

In late April, a southern Illinois public library did an inquiry for viruses on their 42 computers, which had a filter blocking social networking websites. This three-day inquiry showed that the computers had a combined 107,515 viruses circulating through the network. It took nineteen days and $9,700 to resolve the issue. They now allow you to go on Facebook or make a tweet on Twitter.

Are the network administrators so hateful toward Facebook that they block it off? Or maybe they may be at an age that they hate the new generation of the Internet. I think this qualifies for my library and my school district I reside in.

A Memorial Day To Remember In Charlotte

For those who usually watch the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, you were given a little surprise on Memorial Day. Because of a Sunday rain-out, the race was pushed to Monday. The longest race in the Sprint Cup would be pounded with rain all day, but after four cautions including three red flags during the downpouring in the Charlotte area, NASCAR would name Michael Waltrip Racing driver David Reutimann (00) the winner after the weather just wouldn't cooperate. Reutimann's win just put him within a handful of points away from 12th place in the point standings.

MIT OpenCourseWare

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has posted "online" classes on their website. It may look more like the instructor syllabus and student notes, but it gives you the feel of the class, whether online or structured, without taking the class online or in the classroom. The program, known as MIT OpenCourseWare, brings the classroom to you without the expense of school.

WorldWide Publications & Media Corporate Update

Earlier this month, WWPM began subcontractor work for SYNTECHS doing warranty-covered work on LCD/plasma televisions, personal computers and printers. May revenue will be $110 due to a slow month and a late start.

With the digital transition deadline for television stations being June 12, 2009 (15 days to go!), there may be technical issues for those who purchase HD and plasma televisions who may discover technical issues, but at least 10% of all VISIO televisions and between 10% and 14% for other brands have issues such as sound or worse off, a damaged part. We can do this for you, but you have to contact the manufacturer. They have to contact SYNTECHS, who will send a local technician to work on your problem. WWPM normally covers a 40-mile radius of Nokomis, Illinois, but SYNTECHS can request for WWPM to work a job outside the area (e.g. Chicago or St. Louis). Please do not call WWPM directly to fix the issues! The issue has to go through the right extensions before it gets to us.

Press Release: 10:30 AM – May 9, 2009

PRESS RELEASE

Subcontractor Work Begins With Synergy Technical Solutions Corporation (d.b.a. SYNTECHS)

WorldWide Publications & Media’s answer to help customers with LCD TVs, plasma TVs, PC’s and printer problems.

Nokomis, IL, May 9, 2009:

WorldWide Publications & Media is now receiving subcontractor work through Boca Raton, FL-based Synergy Technical Solutions Corporation, otherwise known as SYNTECHS, starting immediately. The opportunity arose despite a budgeting shortfall and WWPM president & CEO Jake Leonard couldn’t resist accepting such a responsibility.

In a press conference yesterday, Leonard announced that it was well appreciated to gain some work in a slow time in the economy and the current status of WWPM’s 2009-10 budget, in which the last day of the budget year is March 31, 2010. The incoming revenue through this subcontractor work will help build for the 2010-11 fiscal year and extend future programs and a possible retail location in Nokomis.

Although this business relationship is only starting, the uttermost important thing is keeping this business relationship. It might be subcontractor work, but it proves there are work opportunities out there.

SYNTECHS is a nationwide provider of innovative, efficient technical business solutions at a very reasonable cost. They have technicians from all over the country that work in a 30-35 mile radius of their home that does warranty (and at times, out-of-warranty) work on LCD & plasma televisions, PCs (both desktop and laptop) and printers. Other work, such as web design and hosting, are usually done by the main staff at SYNTECHS. If you would like to learn more about SYNTECHS, you can go to their website at

http://www.syntechs.com.

PR Note:

Please do not call WorldWide Publications & Media regarding this work. The work is assigned by SYNTECHS as given by the warrantied manufacturer. The work cannot skip through those two levels and given to me. Consumers experiencing issues regarding their LCD and plasma televisions, PCs and printers need to contact the manufacturer and SYNTECHS at 1-800-796-8324.
