    Iowa Appliance Rebate

    Don't be so fast to judge. I work for a different state agency. We contract our our website hosting and development to a third party vendor because it's not our core mission and we don't have the expertise to do it. Not long ago, we anticipated a particularly heavy day on the website due to a...

    KXNO question

    So I missed the opening to the show today as Ken Miller filled in for Jon Miller. Yesterday Ken promised he was going to speak about the whole Cotlar/Tirrell dust up and terminations. Just wondering if I missed anything on this topic yet today?

    Jon N (will this be the last straw?)

    No, i think what he's saying is that rigid application of an arbitrary rule just exposes the unfairness of it under some circumstances. Apparently this kid is a good student, but he just had some major problems with an advanced placement math course. This kid has challenged himself. By...

    Firepits at tailgating a no no.

    Funny timing on this story. I've been tailgating in Iowa City at Iowa games for about 10 years, and have NEVER had an issue with a fire in an enclosed fire pit. Just this last weekend at the Wisconsin game, the officers driving through our tailgating lot were ordering folks to put out their...

    parking question

    Disclaimer: I'm an Iowa graduate and fan that is married to a cyclone. In the interest of marital accord and togetherness, I am taking her and our two kids to the game tonight. We have a parking pass for G-7. Assuming we can't leave Des Moines until around 4 pm or after, do you think we'll still...

    Judge orders indexes of documents turned over

    I'm not sure how you include Lyness with the other three. From everything I understand, when her office was finally informed of the incident, investigations were immediately begun and she started to make her case. Neither the alleged victim nor her mother have made any complaints at all about...

    Mediacom - Horrible Customer "Service" (Hung Up On x2)

    I also had a super experience with the Qwest DSL helpdesk located in India. The gal I talked to was super patient, spoke excellent english, and solved my problem in short order. Sure reminded me of why i dumped Mediacom in the first place. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mediacom needs...

    Landscape Stones

    Try Iowa Outdoor Products on 86th Street in Urbandale. I think I've seen what you're looking for there.

    Marty Tirrell to make big announcement

    Just from listening to the intro to their show yesterday, I was under the impression that Marty's "big announcement" was simply that he was going to have some super-exciting guest host fill-in for Kenny on Thursday. My guesses: Michael Gartner or Marty's boy Bob Ryan. Actually, here's what...

    Iowa Wrestling Strength Coach in the news

    This is the exact same drug (triamcinilone acetonide) that our doctor prescribes for our son's canker sores. Put a little dab on it at night, and the sore is gone two days later. Great stuff. My boy is a doper!

    Non on-field thoughts

    I though JTS and the tailgating scene was very family friendly. My 3 and 2 year olds had a great time last night, both in the stadium and in the parking area. I heard no swearing and nobody was rowdy in my section (L). Everybody was very respectful. Because of the late start, we had to leave...

    Douglas and Bowman AWOL...

    Please, dont' tell me nobody has caught this yet?! "Who is Messers?" Come on. "Messers" = "Misters" In other words . . . . . "Mister Douglas" and "Mister Bowman." Wow.

    Foul Ball Breaks Windshield - Who Pays?

    Exactly. A plaintiff in a tort action needs to find some sort of fault or negligence. Clearly a batter in this situation has none, so enterprising plaintiff's attorneys need to look elsewhere. So, they sue the stadium owners or field operators, making such claims as "the netting protecting the...

    Foul Ball Breaks Windshield - Who Pays?

    I am a lawyer. Here's the advice I'd give you if you came into my office. Ignore this jerk. You are absolutely not liable for his cracked windshield. Unless he has some evidence your son purposefully or recklessy "aimed" his foulball at his car, then he's out of luck. There's simply no...

    KXNO's "local" radio

    Jon Miller's show is virtually all local. I think Marty and Miller must simply feel it would be virtually impossible to do 5 hours straight of local talk. And regardless, there was plenty of Cyclone talk yesterday. The first segment of hour one was about the two basketball games from the...

    Nancy Clark not writing for the Rag anymore!

    Anybody know if the Register's going to hire a replacement columnist . . . . or are they just going down to one in-house columnist (Keeler) in one more (in a long series of) cost-cutting moves? Probably just add another lengthy AP wire article per day to fill her space.

    Alamo Bowl tix

    FYI: I attended the Hawks' Orange and Capital One Bowls, and it is absolultely beyond question that there were more Iowa fans at both of them than there are Cyclone fans at their home games at Jack Trice. Hawk fans outnumbered USC fans by 10 to 1 at a minimum and LSU fans by at least 4 to 1...
