Undercover Boss : How Well Do You Know Your Business
This is a fair warning to all employers and employees of any company. Be very aware of what you say to co-workers as they may turn out to be the President of your company. Chris McCann, President of 1-800-FLOWERS.com took on several entry-level positions in the company to see what kind of things he could learn and how employees were being treated on “Undercover Boss”.
Chris McCann’s brother, Jim McCann, is the CEO of the company, but because he is featured on many of the commercials for 1-800-FLOWERS.com, Chris posed as a scruffy-faced, unemployed house painter on CBS’ “Undercover Boss” to experience the life of the entry-level employee.
You don’t find too many CEOs or Presidents working on the front lines to see what it’s like working for their own company. Chris McCann learned that 1-800-FLOWERS.com needs to connect better with their workers in order for them to provide the best quality and connection with their customers. A happy worker actually does make a happier customer, because they actually want to provide top customer service for others if they’re treated right. It might be great for all CEOs to realize this in order to help their companies succeed.
You can catch episodes of “Undercover Boss” on one of many great DISH packages.
Tiger Woods - The Masters Golf Tournament Is Underway
The return of Tiger Woods to golf at this week’s Masters major golf tournament is huge for him, for fans, for the other golfers, and in general for the sport of golf.
A few weeks ago Tiger Woods announced that he would make his return to professional golf at the Masters golf tournament, which is the first major PGA tournament of the year, and the first major that Tiger won in his professional career. Wanna guess which golf tournament got underway yesterday in Augusta, Georgia?
Expect this to be the most watched golf tournament in history, and if Tiger makes the cut and is in the hunt this weekend, you can pretty much forget that “honey-do” list until the following weekend. That’s right, the return of Tiger Woods to the PGA Tour is huge on so many levels. He’s the game’s most well known player and fans are ready to watch him for the first time since late last year when he invoked a self-imposed hiatus from the sport to deal with his crumbling personal life. Currently Woods is still 2 strokes away from the lead as he makes the turn in the second round of the Masters.
Win, lose, or draw – cheered or jeered – one thing is certain: this is the most exciting golf tournament in recent memory, and it's underway on ESPN today, and then will be over on CBS Sports for the two weekend rounds on April 10th and 11th.
Catch all the exciting action, and follow Tiger through the entire tournament, with premium satellite television service from DISH Network.
Moscow Metro Explosion - Two Suicide Bombs Rock The Moscow Subway System
Two violent explosions rocked the subway system in Moscow, Russia yesterday morning. The first blast, just before 8:00am local time, exploded in the Lubyanka Metro Station killing 22 and injuring at least another dozen morning communters.
Approximately 40 minutes later another bomb exploded at the Park Kultury station killing at least 12 more and injuring seven. The Moscow subway system is the second busiest in the world, carrying more than 5.5 million people every day.
No one has claimed responsibility for the two blasts, which are being called terrorist attacks, but suspicion has fallen on Islamic insurgents in the North Caucuses region. Russia has waged a brutal campaign against this insurgency in Ingushetia, Chechnya, and Agastarn. The last major attack on the Moscow Metro Subway was in 2004, when 39 people were killed. That attack was blamed on Chechen rebels.

Honest George - Actor George Clooney Casts Oscar Vote For Jeff Bridges
A lot of actors say one thing in front of the camera, but do something completely opposite once the lights are off and the gate has been checked. George Clooney, however, did something completely unprecedented and actually cast his Best Actor vote for Jeff Bridges, possibly costing himself the very same Oscar.
Clooney, who was up for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Up in the Air, had told his pals, and some journalists, that he’d actually voted for Jeff Bridges for his role in Crazy Heart. Of course Bridges won the Oscar, and rightfully so.
Clooney told Bridges it was an amazing performance, and that if he didn’t win it wouldn’t be his fault. Reports from the New York Post say that Clooney marked the ballot, took a picture, and sent it to Bridges. Clooney’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, says the story is true.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Interview Divorce Lawyers
Many people just don’t seem to take marriage seriously anymore. The latest “scandal” and possible upcoming divorce on the burner is between Jesse James and Sandra Bullock.
Of all actresses, I do have a lot of respect for Sandra Bullock. She seems to be, like many others have said, that girl-next-door that everyone just adores and gets along with. This has to be quite the blow to her especially after she was so thankful for having Jesse in her life when she accepted her Academy Award. She’s probably feeling not too far off from her character, Birdie Pruitt, in Hope Floats where she finds out on a talk show that her husband has been cheating on her.
Catch Sandra Bullock's recent award-winning performance and her other pastime goodies On Demand when you get one of many great DISH Network Packages.
