So it's like Amtrak leaving Philadelphia, right?
Interesting that the stock price didn't dip at all with such a sizeable sale. Hum, wonder if someone's cashing in in preparation for retirement? Or a pending divorce. That's why George sold what became Pixar to Apple - so he could pay for the divorce from Wife #1. BTW, yesterday was his 71st birthday. Happy Birthday, George. And May The Force Be With You (and Disney not screw up Episode VII)
Would be funny if 7 people hadn't lost their lives....
You know, at the rate mergers and acquisitions are going in Corporate America, the only communication companies will be Verizon and AT&T, entertainment Comcast and Disney, financial institutions BoA and Citi. Not a good scenario for competition. Or consumers.

I gotcha. Context is everything and I got hung up on the word "expectations". Although I would still say even Disney deserves a "Hey thanks. Good job. Looks good" if (and I do mean IF) they meet a persons expectations of a Deluxe resort. Those expectations do seem to be a sliding scale in these parts though so I will leave that debate to everyone else
. They have set the Disney Standard a bit above minimum requirements though IMO.

Difficult to let those with a tenured interest make decisions on standards. Someone from education with no financial/job security stake would be a better choice.
In the case of health care, we may see death boards that are hopefully not stocked full of insurance representatives and lobbyists....

ESPN really doesn't want personalities anymore. chris berman is really the only one who remains, and he's essentially grandfathered in. look at sportscenter (which i haven't done much of in the last decade). every anchor is just becoming a faceless cyborg. i get why. personality creates volatility, and ESPN's current business model is about being an extension of athlete's brands (must we be reminded about "the decision?"), not about substantive reporting on their subjects (which is what made the network stand out and take hold in the first place).
simmons was a draw, no question, but now that grantland is a full-integrated part of the machine, there's no reason to put up with the volatility, as far as ESPN sees it. remember, the final straw (reportedly calling into question goodell's "testicular fortitude") came about 8 months after they had suspended him for speaking out against the commissioner. that's not ESPN's game. you don't think schefter gets scoops by having people on the network alienate goodell, do ya?

I just lost my Mom, due to cancer at the beginning of April. She started the diagnosis process last March. During the entire process, except for dealing with Accredo (Cigna's preferred pharmacy for the chemo drugs) they were nothing short of fabulous. My Dad never got a bill for anything that wasn't expected, they had a personal rep to answer any questions, and she'd call to check-in once a month. We were hoping chemo would work so she could qualify for a stem cell transplant. It never happened, but everything was pre-approved including a credit card with a 10K limit that they could use for hotel/gas/food while in Tampa during her care, so they didn't have to pay then submit for reimbursements. And even dealing with Accredo, it was stupid stuff like their automated system would call 3 times for authorization, and then transfer my Mom to a live person who would then ask, "why are you calling." But her treatment was never compromised. And now, my Dad has 1 year free medical (he had to pay a portion when my Mom was working, so he's shocked he doesn't have to pay a dime).
My parents had the PPO plan, but while listening to conversations while at chemo, it seems like within the last year they did have changes to the lower level plans that was causing some scrambling, but I don't know the details.

What? And her husband let her do it. sheesh.
I didn't realize another passenger had died - I haven't checked the news since yesterday. That's terrible.
My thoughts are with their family members.

Look according to Rahmbo's brother Ezekiel. the only people of 'Economic Value' are those between 15-45 and medical care should be withheld from those outside that range. Welcome to the world of Logan's Run.
