This is one make-over that doesn’t involve Oprah, make-up, weight loss or even women, for that matter.
Instead it involves a propane delivery truck and an important cause.
In honor of the American Breast Cancer Foundation, a Tevis Propane LLC delivery truck has gone through a dramatic make-over from blue to pink, while on its side is painted the iconic breast cancer pink ribbon. 
This is the first year the company has gone pink for the cause. In addition, company employees were given pink shirts to wear once a month to raise awareness about breast cancer.
“Not only is this pink propane truck sure to turn heads on area roadways, for every gallon of propane it delivers to area homes and businesses, Tevis Propane will make a donation to the American Breast Cancer Foundation,” the Tevis press release stated...

Wednesday, September 28, 2011


By Tom Zirpoli

The 2011 Almanac Issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education was published last month and I always enjoy reviewing the data. This latest report reviews 2009 and some 2010 data from colleges and universities across the United States.

About 17 million Americans attended college in 2009, a 38 percent increase over the past 10 years. About 10 million of these students attended four-year institutions and about 7 million were enrolled in two-year institutions… http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/columnists/tom-zirpoli-survey-shows-snapshot-of-students/article_f0c362e4-e906-11e0-940c-001cc4c03286.html

The Washington Post News Alert: Poll sees a new low in Americans' approval of Congress

News Alert: Poll sees a new low in Americans' approval of Congress
October 5, 2011 12:25:16 AM
----------------------------------------

Just 14 percent of the public approves of the job Congress is doing, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, more than at any point in more than two decades.

The poll also shows that 61 percent of Americans disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the economy. But with only 13 months remaining until Election Day and Congress's approval ratings even lower, the president is taking a more combative approach.
