Heckles always vary. I mean, some people are just drunk, and it's nonsense, or, you know, some people just want to just repeat something I've said or add their own two cents about an opinion, but because of the nature of what I do and who I am, like, I also get the racist stuff, which is hard.

This university has done more for me than I could ever pay back. But I can do this -- and I want to.

Since employees start over at step one when they are promoted, going from firefighter to lieutenant results in a loss of about $1.50 per hour, and lieutenant to captain results in a loss of about 50 cents per hour.

In the Water and Sewer Board, you have many different levels of work, which makes it more likely that you will have promotion problems. That?s why it gets very expensive to fix all of the departments of the city at the same time. The cost depends on the size of the department.

For those who are counting, that's a steep four-and-a-half-fold increase in 16 years. When state and local gas levies are included, motorists in many states now pay 40 to 50 cents a gallon.

From September 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 the IRS increased the standard to 48.5 cents per mile. Despite the increase in the standard mileage rate, one should carefully weigh which expense -- actual or standard --they should use for their 2005 return.

Retail gasoline prices have gone up 15 cents in the past two weeks. The increases can be traced to investor speculation leading to higher prices for both crude and wholesale gasoline. With crude trading around $64 a barrel, it doesn't appear likely gasoline will fall below $2 a gallon anytime soon.
