Vice president of fan engagement, Mike Murphy, told Fox News this is just one of 70 promotions the Biscuits offer for their home games, ranging from Outdoors Night to Military Wednesdays and Autism Friendly Night.

Uhhhh... Just how do you promote that? Seriously, I'm just completely clueless how you make a stadium filled with people, noise, smells, lots of activity, autistic friendly.

Calif. DMV worker snoozed on job for about 4 years--still employed: audit

A California Department of Motor Vehicles employee slept three hours a day on the job for nearly four years-- all while her supervisors knew, according to a state auditor’s report released Tuesday.

And the employee still works there.

Between February 2014 and December 2017, the employee snoozed through an estimated 2,200 hours’ worth of work, costing California taxpayers more than $40,000, the audit said.

The worker, who was not named in the report, is a data operator responsible for updating information on address changes and new vehicle ownership forms.

According to the report, a typical data operator averages 560 documents a day, but the worker managed only 200, leaving other data operators to pick up the slack, the audit found. Her colleagues said her work was filled with errors, the report said.

The worker’s supervisors had been aware of her misuse of time but “failed to take disciplinary or medical action against the employee after initial efforts to address her conduct proved unsuccessful,” the audit said.

Hopefully the supervisors were either fired or demoted.

Boy with deformed legs undergoes life-changing surgery at Tebow CURE Hospital

Aldrin, who was born with congenital knee dislocation, is learning how to walk after undergoing a 4-hour surgery to repair and realign his tendons, joints and bones. 

An 11-year-old boy in the Philippines is recovering from a life-changing corrective surgery on his legs that was made possible by the Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International. Aldrin, whose last name was not disclosed, was born with a severe leg deformity that left him in unbearable pain from simply standing, and prevented him from walking long distances

 

(Amazing work by the doctors)
