A trio of bands to treat fans at Shamrocks show 

Frontman, Mike Furie, says the musicians in his band "Loud Furie" and fellow Syracuse rock bands "The Fergi Project" and "Little Secret" want to help make things right for their fans who bought tickets to see them open for Brian Michaels last week at the Regional Market Block Party.

That show - and shows scheduled on subsequent Thursday nights by "Asia" and "Loverboy" - have been canceled.

The opening bands were given tickets to sell to their fans, Furie explains. So "Loud Furie", "The Fergi Project" and "Little Secret" have scheduled a show together at 4 p.m. Sunday at Shamrocks, 1459 Taft Road, Syracuse. Admission is free for anybody who holds a ticket to the canceled Michaels show, or $10 for everybody else.

A nice touch: The band will donate the door money to Michaels' favorite charity, the American Diabetes Association. The musicians are calling it the Antidote Show.  

Also, for fans of "Asia", western New York promoter Billy Pilo has his own show planned. "Asia" plays at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Main Street Armory, 78 Main St. , Rochester. Admission is free to the show as long as you bring a canned or dry food donation for Rochester food banks.

Robert Schwartz, director of Parking and Transportation Services, has announced his decision to retire from Hudson University. His last day will be June 13, 2011.

Under Mr. Schwartz's leadership, the university's parking and transportation operations have improved significantly over the past 10 years. Mr. Schwartz was instrumental in the introduction of the New Terrytown Shuttle to help reduce the number of cars on the New Terrytown/ Piscataway campuses and in the university's preparations for the Route 18 construction and road widening projects. Mr. Schwartz previously served as the assistant director for parking and transportation and worked in various capacities in the housing division.  

Mr. Schwartz has done a great job establishing positive working relationships with students, cleans, administrators, staff, and local communities. His leadership, loyalty to Hudson University, and tireless energy will be missed.

Apex PC Inc.

Erving, TX 75782

To Whom It May Concern,  

I am writing today to thank you for an excellent customer service experience. I recently started a new job as the administrative director for a nonprofit agency that, like most organizations and businesses, cannot function without a computer. This morning when I arrived at work, my Apex Dimension 5000 would not boot up properly. After exhausting my own fairly extensive knowledge about how to get a misbehaving computer to work properly, and consulting my agency's tech department in vain, I called Apex PC Technical Support.  

Gary, the tech support professional who answered my call, spent two hours on the phone with me, walking me through processes ranging from diagnostics to rebooting in various command prompt modes. Gary was wonderful to work with. I was delighted to be on the phone with someone whose knowledge, respect, and sense of humor (particularly important, in my opinion, when dealing with potential computer disaters) made this ordeal much less challenging.

Although your automated answering system is frustrating-I got many "I'm sorry, I don't understand" responses although I speak quite clear and articulate English, and I got cut off at one point - I very much appreciate the excellent customer service your human staff members give. As a result of the help I got today, I elected to extend our Gold Service Contract so that if I have such a problem again, I will have access to your staff.

Again, thank you.  
Sincerely,
Mark Matthews

Re: Survey Results 
Date: April 19

Customer Survey 

In an initiative to determine the effectiveness of TWDB's programs and services, our agency regularly conducts surveys to measure customer satisfaction and rate TWDB's performance in service delivery.

You can make a difference by taking the time to complete a survey online. Results are analyzed, especially the comments section, to identify possible process improvements or areas in the agency which need increased education or marketing efforts. Program areas use the information to review and implement any necessary program/process changes that will benefit customers or save money. Previous survey results have led to significant improvements to TWDB's programs.

The Tennessee Water Development board intends to use this information to improve its products and service delivery and to increase customer education and awareness regarding agency products and services.

Survey Results: 2010 Customer Survey 
The most frequently cited suggestions for improvement included:
- Increasing personal contact with customers
- Increasing interdepartmental and interagency cooperation
- Further improving the agency's websites 
- Improving the scope and accuracy of information provided 
- Increasing funding opportunities.  

Result: In summary, customers rated TWDB highly, with 94. 8% of all respondents giving the agency an excellent (52. 8%) or good (420%) rating. Furthermore, the specific departments evaluated consistently received satisfaction ratings of at least 96%. A detailed report of the results will be posted on the company website in two weeks.

Once completed, the new street surface will greatly enhance the appearance of the community and extend the life of the asphalt streets.

Virgo America Names new VP of Marketing 

Virgo America has named Portia Gales as its new vice president of marketing. In her new role, Gales will be in charge of shaping the Virgo America brand as it launches into new markets nationwide. The startup airline, which was launched in August in Chicago, is working to serve up to 10 cities through 2011, including New York, Washington, and Los Angeles. It plans to increase its service to 30 cities over the next five years, the company said.

Gales has worked in the public relations department since Virgo's launch. She takes over the VP position in January, the company said. She replaces Spence Kramdon, who left the post last year, a company spokesperson said.

The low-fare carrier uses a host of amenities designed to distinguish itself from other airlines. It offers mood-lit cabins, an in-flight entertainment system with movies, TV and online chat rooms in a First Class section with massage chairs.

Subject: faculty Institute 

Dear Professor Risi,

You are cordially invited to attend this year's Faculty Institute, to be held on Thursday, May 18 at the University College facilities on the University of Maryland at Auburn campus. Last year's Faculty Institute opened by considering a number of quality "elements" for teaching with technology. We broadly surveyed examples of how faculty, educational services, and technology support staff are addressing each of these standards, in addition to methods of surveying students to receive feedback. This year we will add to these elements to expand the scope of our faculty members.

University College will provide travel support for faculty attending the 2011 Faculty Institute as part of our commitment to assure quality distance education. If you will be traveling from UMPI, UMFK, or UMM, this includes hotel accommodation for the evening of May 17 in addition to the mileage reimbursement provided for faculty from all UMS campuses. As always, we encourage carpooling. Please RSVP along with any guests you plan to bring by April 2.

I hope you will be able to join us!
Terry
