---- — There is still hope that a nursing home could reopen in Delhi, officials said Thursday. Countryside Care Center owners Leatherstocking Healthcare LLC decided to close the 199-bed facility in October, rather than developing a plan to address state Department of Health safety concerns. There was talk at that time of a possible buyer. The facility employed 200.
"From our perspective, things are moving forward with the sale of Countryside," Stephanie Valle, a spokeswoman for Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook. She identified the possible buyers as including Steven Reynolds, an owner of Valley View Manor in Norwich. He could not be reached for comment at his office Thursday.
The matter is before the state Department of Health, and the buyer is awaiting its approval, she said. Gibson, along with Sen. John Bonacic, R-New Hope, and Assemblyman Clifford Crouch, R-Guilford, wrote to the commissioner of the Department of Health in November asking for an "expeditious review," and "we're hopeful that will happen soon," she said.
Gibson's office has been in constant contact with the buyer, and he understands that they are already taking steps, including building maintenance, to ensure that once approval is given, "the facility can be up and running quickly," she said. A Health Department spokeman was not able to comment on the situation Thursday.
A call to Leatherstocking partner Ralph Reid was not returned.
Delaware County Social Services Commissioner William Moon said he has no direct knowledge of the situation but has heard that the group including Reynolds was
involved in discussions about reopening the facility. If that is true it would be "significant," for a couple of reasons. The county needs the beds to keep residents close to family. Before the facility was closed residents were moved to nursing homes around the state.
"That was the greatest tragedy" about what happened, he said.
The closing also left a number of health-care professionals without employment, he said. Those involved in the talks have a good reputation that could attract some of those workers back.
He was looking forward to working with the new owners and will play an integral roll in referring clients to them, he said. He was responsible for 15 patients who had been lived there and would like to bring them back to the county if approval is received.

Windows Insider
Back in March, our industry saw a minor flurry of activity associated with a new Microsoft technology called RemoteFX. We'll see yet another flurry with the official release of RemoteFX in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP 1. RemoteFX represents a significant update to the graphics-processing capabilities of the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) core Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
In Microsoft's words, "Microsoft RemoteFX is designed to introduce a new set of end-user experience enhancements to remote desktop computing ... that enable[s] a rich, local-like desktop environment over the network. By leveraging the power of advanced codecs and virtualized graphics resources on the datacenter host, RemoteFX adds support for any application, including 3-D, and rich media to a virtual desktop environment."
When you add RemoteFX to a Windows Server RDS environment, you get a much-improved user experience for remote sessions. With it, remote users of virtual or session-based desktops can experience full-motion video, resource-intensive graphics apps, and even the entire Windows Aero interface with an acceptable frame rate.
That's obviously a fantastic improvement to RDP, but is this technology something you should add to your near-term planning, or are you better served by waiting?
Pitfalls of RDP
Understanding how RemoteFX works starts with a look at the RDP itself. Throughout its long history, delivering graphics within the RDP has been a client-side activity. The RDP client-side orientation enabled it to stay lean in terms of network consumption. Traditional RDP could easily serve up desktops and applications through low-bandwidth connections with a reasonably assured user experience.
While great for limiting network consumption, focusing that graphics rendering onto the client side introduces its own set of limitations. Before RemoteFX, RDS clients required client-processing power in order to decode graphics for presentation to the user. As a result, that processing limited how fast graphics updates could occur. If you've ever attempted to watch a movie directly through previous versions of RDP, you've seen how its frame rate can be measured in seconds per frame rather than frames per second.
Even more problematic was when an application's graphics format wasn't supported. RDP was forced to send individual bitmaps across the wire. This fallback response reduced performance and, as a result, diminished the user's experience with the application.
RemoteFX flips around some of the RDP processing by rendering graphics at the host rather than the client. This host-based graphics rendering centers on the use of a virtualized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and a set of special codecs. To accomplish this, Windows requires a physical GPU to be installed to the Hyper-V-based RDS host. Such a GPU isn't much different than the kinds of graphics cards you might add into a high-end workstation or gaming computer.
More Options
Moving graphics processing to the host doesn't fully eliminate the need for client-side rendering, but it does enable a spectrum of options for where graphics processing can be done.
Consider the situation where a "full" PC is remoting into a Hyper-V-based RDS environment. That full PC might have its own installed GPU as well as a powerful CPU. These two hardware components can work in concert with server graphics processing to balance the responsibility. Another environment might use lightweight devices at the client side. These might be inexpensive thin clients, or some form of PC-on-a-chip device that might not even exist today. In either of these situations, processing power simply isn't available at the client side. So, the server takes over the responsibility. What's important to recognize here is that RemoteFX is intelligent enough to handle each of these situations at the same time, taking over more responsibility at the server where necessary and less where not. While you might not start immediately installing GPUs into your Hyper-V-based RDS servers, this is a space to keep watching.

Angela Profitt may be days away from delivering a baby, but that didn't stop her and her husband, Tommee Profitt, from making a video parody of LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It".
It took the Michigan couple two days of filming to put the piece together and -- after being posted on Monday -- has hit 400,000 views on YouTube.
The video features Angela dancing around and mocking many of the "side effects" of pregnancy like weight gain, strange cravings (who eats ice cream and Cool Ranch Doritos?) and missing out on seeing your own feet. Tommee provides vocals.
In an interview with WZZM, Tommee told viewers the couple were surprised by the video's popularity.
"She's so shy and I make videos all the time for YouTube and stuff, and I had to coax her to be on camera. It figures the one time she agrees, the [video] explodes and goes viral." He adds: "I'm super proud of her and owe her big time."
Can't get enough of "Sexy And I Know It" parodies? Neither could we. Check out some some more spoofs the internet has to offer.

Easy guide to understand WCF in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and Visual Studio 2010 Express
WCF short for Windows Communication Foundation, the latest Microsoft programming architecture has superseded earlier technologies like COM, DCOM, etc. WCF is the Microsoft programming model for building distributed applications for .NET. Visual Studio suite of products provides an easy to use interface for developing WCF applications. Using these IDEs a number of different types of WCF applications can be built.
The emphasis of this article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy is to show to the user how to leverage the IDE for understanding the ins and outs of a WCF application and learn about the available development tools. Visual Studio 2008 SP1 makes it very easy to create WCF projects. The Visual Studio 2010 Express which is a free program can also be used similar to the way described for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 in this article. In understanding basic WCF you need to go no further than the Visual Studio IDE.
This article describes the default template available in VS 2008 (also works the same in VS2010 Express) to create a WCF application and to understand the out of the box WCF development tools namely the WCF Service Host and WCF Test Client. Along with modifying the service and service contract, publishing the service to the Internet Information Services is also described where in the local host is an IIS7 web server.Read Easy guide to understand WCF in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and Visual Studio 2010 Express in full

Oracle Enterprise Manager Key Concepts and Subsystems
In this article, Oracle Enterprise Manager Key Concepts and Subsystems by Debu Panda and Arvind Maheshwari, authors of Middleware Management with Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10g R5, we'll learn about major processes and subsystems of Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and the concepts behind those subsystems. Generally enterprise software is composed of many technical and functional subsystems. Many of the technical and functional subsystems need to be tweaked or customized according to the needs of a particular enterprise. Good enterprise software is one that provides useful out-of-the-box features that need minimal or no customizations of the subsystems, and at the same time provides flexibility for customizations.
Most often we see that, while using enterprise software, System Administrators discover an un-documented feature, or use an existing feature or a subsystem in an innovative way. This helps to get better returns on the investment made on the enterprise software. The subsystems that we'll be covering in this article are as follows:
- Target
- Monitoring
- Configuration Management
- Jobs
- Notification
- Provisioning
- Service Level Management
- Information publishing
Adding User Comments in Agile
The ability for users to engage in a dialogue about project issues is an important part of what any issue tracking tool should provide. One way to achieve this is to allow users to leave comments directly on the issues. The comments will form a conversation about the issue and provide an immediate, as well as historical context to help track the full lifespan of any issue. We will also use comments to demonstrate using Yii widgets and establishing a portlet model for delivering content to the user (for more information on Portlets , visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlet ).
In this article by Jeffery Winesett, author of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5, we will focus on some of the nice-to-have features in our TrackStar application. The first of these features that we will tackle is the ability for users to leave comments on project issues.Read Adding User Comments in Agile in full
Planning and Preparing the Oracle Siebel CRM Installation
When tackling the complex task of installing and configuring Oracle's Siebel CRM, we should keep in mind that a well-considered approach and proper documentation are key factors for a successful completion.
In this article by Alexander Hansal, author of Oracle Siebel CRM 8 Installation and Management, we will discuss the following steps of the Siebel installation process:
- Planning the Siebel CRM Installation
- Understanding hardware and software prerequisites
- Hardware sizing
- Preparing the Siebel database
- Preparing the Siebel file system
- Creating service owner accounts
- Downloading the Siebel installation archives
- Running the Siebel Image Creator
- Obtaining the license key
Creating a Recent Comments Widget in Agile
In this article by Jeffery Winesett, author of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5, we are going to turn our focus to the second primary goal of this iteration. As seen in the previous article Adding User Comments in Agile, we now have the ability to leave comments on issues.
We want to display to the user a list of all of the recent comments that have been left on various issues across all of the projects. This will provide a nice snapshot of user communication activity within the application. We also want to build this small block of content in a manner that will allow it to be re-used in various different locations throughout the site. This is very much in the style of web portal applications such as news forums, weather reporting applications and sites such as Yahoo and iGoogle. These small snippets of content are often referred to as portlets, and this is why we referred to building a portlet architecture at the beginning of this iteration. Again, you can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlet for more information on this topic.Read Creating a Recent Comments Widget in Agile in full
NetBeans Platform 6.9: Working with Actions
In this article we focus on "Global" Actions, that is, those that should always be enabled. These types of Actions are not very different from standard Swing Actions. For example, you might want to create "New Task" and "Edit Task" Actions that can be invoked from the menubar and toolbar of the TaskManager.
The topics covered in this article by Jürgen Petri, author of NetBeans Platform 6.9 Developer's Guide, will teach you the following:
- How to create global Actions
- How to add menu items
- How to add toolbar buttons
- How to add keyboard shortcuts
More Things you can do with Oracle Content Server workflows
In the previous article Oracle Universal Content Management: How to Set Up and Change Workflows you've built your first workflow, let's dig a little deeper and see what else can you do with Content Server workflows. I'll show you how to add groups of users as approvers, how to create jumps, use scripting, and perform other really powerful things.
In this article by Dmitri Khanine, author of The Oracle Universal Content Management Handbook, we will cover the following things:
- Tools you need for advanced workflow design such as workflow templates, jumps, sub-workflows, and scripting—that let you harness the true power of Content Server workflows.
- How to group approvers and even select them dynamically based on the business rules—maybe the last bit of advice you will need to automate that complex business process you were looking at.
- Different types of workflows you have to choose from and how to pick the best one for your task at hand.
Let's begin by looking at the top three things.Read More Things you can do with Oracle Content Server workflows in full

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Police in Prestonsburg have arrested a man they say is responsible for dozens of car break-ins in Floyd County.
Police say they arrested David Crace when he arrived at a probation/parole hearing Thursday morning.
Investigators believe Crace broke into at least 30 cars in recent weeks. Most of the break-ins occurred at businesses in town and several at high school football games.
"They started about a month, month-and-a-half ago," said Detective Adam Dixon.
Police think Crace was either using remotes to unlock the cars or cutting master keys.
Police say they recently got surveillance images that show a man using one of the debit cards that was reported stolen.
"We actually have him on video and got a positive ID," said Assistant Police Chief Bryan Hall.
Police also say Crace is no stranger to this kind of crime, and that he has been behind bars for the same thing more than once.
Crace is being held in the Floyd County Detention Center.

At first you just try to attack it in the easiest manner possible. If that does not work, you pick another course. And then another and another. You keep trying different things until something gives and you attack that spot until the knot becomes an unraveled mess of string with a sub-.200 batting average and a ticket back to Triple-A.
That, in short, is how teams approach players who are new to the league. Pitchers go right after hitters until the method proves fruitless. Then they start pitching away. Or they pitch up. They change speeds. Or they feed them breaking balls until they go cross-eyed. Meanwhile, the good hitters the Joe Mauers of the world adjust with the pitcher. They take that pitch on the outer-half to the opposite field. They lay off the high ones. They wait on the breaking ball. Those less experienced may fall right into the game plan of the other team.
Take Danny Valencia and Brian Dozier as examples. Both these players enjoyed immediate success but fell apart as teams began to exploit their tendencies to pull everything. Valencia has hit .234/.274/.365 since that exciting rookie season while Dozier is a career .226/.265/.319 hitter in almost 500 plate appearances. Chris Parmelee enjoyed his month of September back in 2011 but has been a pile of yarn in the batters box since, hitting just .218/.284/.351.
This brings me to the latest hot-hitting young Twin, Oswaldo Arcia.
Arcia began the month of May with an 8-game hitting streak. Within that stretch, he hit .438 with four doubles, a triple and a home run. That performance, spread across three series, undoubtedly had advanced scouts saying uh-oh, weve got to deal with this.
In a USA Today article, Bob Johnson, an advanced scout for the Braves, who just finished sweeping the Twins, explained a bit about his technique:
"I'm looking for tendencies," he explains. "If a guy sets his hands at a different position on different counts. I want to know his stance. Does he close up? Is he an open-style hitter? Does he dive into the pitch? I first check his hands, then his feet. Then I check where his head goes on certain pitches."
Back at the hotel, he writes up reports on the game and then emails them to the team's video coordinator, who compiles the various streams of research. The team's manager and staff will ultimately share the information with the players to help them prepare for future match-ups.
The assumption may be that he is seeing fewer fastballs but the reality is he is seeing roughly the same percentage of fastballs, just fewer of those for strikes. Take a look at this animation of his swing on fastballs, from the beginning of his major league season to when his hitting streak ended, compared to his past 10 games.
Notice the cluster of fastballs near the heart of the plate in the first series and the lack of anything there in the second series.
The number of in-zone pitches Arcia has seen has shrunk significantly (his in-zone pitch percentage is 46%, well below the near 50% mark and has been at 39% the past two weeks). Arcia, so far, has not been the type of hitter who takes walks. He is a power hitter who is ready to swing (his 54% swing rate is also well above the MLB average of 46%).
During the Atlanta series, Ron Gardenhire held Arcia out of the lineup, saying that the rookie was misfiring at the plate. True, the above numbers indicate that he is pressing hard at the plate with little to show in the past few weeks. His ninth inning pinch hitting appearance, resulting in a foul out to end the game, was a prime example of why he is mired in this offensive quagmire. On a 1-0 pitch, Arcia was sitting dead-red on a fastball. While the Braves gave him one, it was on the outer-half, running away and the contact resulted in an easy third out for Justin Upton in foul territory.
In that situation, under those conditions, you can expect that the manager wants his player to be teeing up on a better pitch - particularly when ahead in the count.
Prior to Thursdays game against the Tigers, Gardenhire informed the media that his starting lineup would not include Arcia for the fourth consecutive game. When pressed for an explanation, the manager said that he wanted to play the matchups and that Ryan Doumit was 4-for-10 off the Tigers starting pitcher, Rick Porcello. This reasoning, based on absurdly small sample size, is likely the cover for the manager and coaches wanting Arcia to slow down and recognize how pitchers are approaching him. He has fallen into a pattern of trying to force everything. Their advice could be dont swing so much, dont expand the zone, and let the game come to you.
Based on his tools, Arcia has a bright future. In order to realize this potential he needs to refrain from chasing everything that moves. His mechanics are solid and his strength will ensure that he will blister pitches that come into his swing path. As major league pitchers continue to pick at his weakness, he needs to adjust with them.

DALLAS (AP) - Attorneys for the husband of a pregnant, brain-dead Texas woman being kept on life support say the fetus inside of her is "distinctly abnormal."
Erick Munoz's attorneys said in a statement Wednesday that the fetus that Marlise Munoz is carrying has several "abnormalities," including a deformation of the lower body parts that make it impossible to determine its gender.
Attorneys Heather King and Jessica Hall Janicek say they're basing their statement on medical records received from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. The hospital is keeping Marlise Munoz on life support against her husband's wishes. Erick Munoz has sued the hospital.
The hospital says it's following state law that says pregnant patients cannot be denied life-saving treatment.
Marlise Munoz was found unconscious in November, possibly from a blood clot.

In honor of William Morris' birthday this upcoming March, we want to pay tribute to his decades of work helping lead the English Arts and Crafts Movement, co-founding a design firm that decorated churches and homes across England, reviving textiles, writing and illustrating books (influencing authors such as Tolkien) and designing beautiful, versatile patterns that celebrate nature and continue to be loved to this day.
You may not realize how many William Morris designs you already recognize, but once you do, you will start to see him everywhere. In fact, hundreds of our products feature his designs, from iPad covers to greeting cards to tiles.
To evoke the feeling of blooming spring, nothing beats the Tulip design – bright, dynamic and virtually bursting into 3D. It's fun and striking on a mousepad (and even comes in stamps):
And as a covering case, his Pimpernel design manages to make an iPhone look vibrant, stylish and also elegant:
Here's to Mr. Morris!

LaFollette needed a win to get into the playoffs against Middleton, but the Cardinals snapped their 3-game losing streak with a 35-19 win over the Lancers.
Middleton went up by two touchdowns to start off the game, but would LaFollette strike back. Quarterback Troy Tiegen found Jermaine Richmond on a bubble screen for a 30 yard touchdown score to cut the lead 14-6.
LaFollette would score again right before the end of the first quarter,
as Teigen ran in a quarterback keeper to bring the Lancers within one, 14-13.
Two minutes before the half, the Cardinals would find paydirt on a Luke Schafer quarterback sneak to put Middleton up 21-13.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Grain futures traded sharply lower Monday, extending their losses from Friday, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture raised crop estimates for domestic corn, soybeans and wheat. December wheat fell 28 cents, or 3.2%, to $8.585 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, after falling 1.8% on Friday. December corn traded at $7.19 a bushel, down 20 cents, or 2.8%, and January soybeans fell 40 cents, or 2.8%, to $14.11 a bushel. "Increased stockpiles in the monthly crop report continues to drag markets down on indications that the effects of this summer's drought on some grains may not have been as bad as feared," said Colin Cieszynski, senior market analyst at CMC Markets Canada.

Carolyn Rosenblatt, Contributor
I write about healthy aging, and dealing with aging loved ones.
John Pittas' mother entered a nursing home for rehabilitation following a car crash. After she left the nursing home, she moved out of the country. His mother's $93,000 bill at the home was left unpaid. The mom had applied for Medicaid, which would normally pay the bill if she couldn't.
The mom's Medicaid application did not get approved in enough time to satisfy the nursing home, and it sued her son for the bill. The state of Pennsylvania, like 29 others in our country, has something called a "filial responsibility law". Those laws require that spouses, children and even parents of needy adults support the indigent. These laws were rarely ever enforced. The nursing home decided to enforce it rather than have Medicaid do what it was designed to do.
The trial court found for the nursing home. Mr. Pittas appealed. He argued that the court should have considered Medicaid or going after his mother's husband and her two other adult children. Astonishingly, the appeals court not only agreed that the nursing home didn't have to wait until the Medicaid claim was resolved, it also found that the nursing home could choose any family member it wanted to when seeking payment for the bill.
There is an adage in the law: You can't legislate morality. However that is exactly what the Pennsylvania courts in the Pittas case did. If a son or daughter has the money and wants to pay for mom or dad's care, that's an upright choice. But what if they choose not to pay? What if they have their own expenses, kids in college or a retirement they want to fund? Since when is it okay to unfairly discriminate against a financially successful family member? Mr. Pittas's tax returns, bank statements, and other personal data are now presumably public record.
Here's the unspoken part of the picture that really rankles. Some parents worked hard all their lives and never made enough money to pay for expensive things like nursing home care. I can't justify any court making their kids pay.
A quarter of adult children, mostly baby boomers are already providing personal care or financial assistance to aging parents, according the the Met Life Mature Market 2011 study of the Caregiving Costs to Working Caregivers. These boomers are already out nearly $3 trillion in lost wages, pension, and Social Security benefits for themselves. Now some states want to saddle these same adult children with the nursing home bill too??
The pressure is on in all states to deal with the explosive costs of Medicaid programs. States are not in trouble because of unnecessary spending for indigent sick folks. They are in trouble because people are living longer, and having more health care needs as a result of longevity. Our aging persons who are in nursing homes for any length of time typically can't pay the cost of being there. The solution is not to force the high cost of care onto their children. Historically, taxpayers have borne the burden of helping our indigent pay for care. I can't see any other choice, unless you think it's okay to throw the sick and needy out into the streets.
Yes, it takes taxpayer money to fund Medicaid and cover Mr. Pittas' mother's nursing home stay. So be it. She was living on an income of $1000 a month.
What are the takeaways here?
First, if your parent is low income, see an elder law attorney who has expertise in Medicaid in your parents' state and get the application going now if they qualify.
Next Next, if there was ever an argument for buying long term care insurance, a state's "filial responsibility" law is it. If your parents are young enough and healthy enough to be insurable, get them to buy it or buy it for them.[/entity]
If you aren't sure about what your responsibility is or may be for your aging parents, get competent advice before any more time passes.
Until next time,
Carolyn Rosenblatt
There are no government incentives that I know of for taking care of a parent even if the person doing it is saving the state a lot of money in the process. On top of that, people who do caretake and live at the same address also can practice real conservation resulting in the saving of water, power, and gas expenses specifically because they are at home most of the time.
Not to mention the cost savings associated with less driving because one lives where they provide health care. Lower car insurance costs because of lower miles driven, less car maintenance, car lasts longer, less gasoline spent. Add this up and a family member who provides health care while reducing other areas of consumption is contributing to society by consuming less.
Two of the biggest costs associated with living are having a car and a home. If those two huge costs are reduced by taking care of a parent and living in the same home as the parent, society benefits via reduced consumption of resources.
We can't all, nor should we all, be about consuming as much as possible all the time.
I was sued for an upaid nuring home bill. There was no way my mother could have planned for this as you state here since she was a single parent bringing up four children on her own on and off of welfare her entire life.
Consider yourself lucky. In Nevada the family has to repay Medicaid for nursing home care – sale of the family home, whatever it takes. yea me!!
I have worked in PA and NV in the nursing home industry. In PA, a Medicaid application usually takes no more than 30-60 days for approval… If all the requested information is provided, and there is no "funny business" with the persons estate. Nevada is worse, and "clean" applications take in excess of 100 days for approval. Nevada Medicaid does not take the children's house, but when a resident dies, they do take back any unsold assets of the parents.
Medicaid is for indigent elders. Once you decide to go forward with having them pay the nursing home bill, no real assets can be passed on to the heirs. Too often, people want their cake and eat it too… they want to keep their parent's houses and money for themselves. I have even seen cases where children continue to cash the parents social security checks and use them for their own needs. Again… if you accept Medicaid payment for your care, you are indigent and can not, and should not, expect this.
Now… as you say Carolyn… something must be done to support the systems of support for our parents. So far, all that seems to happen is the government keeps lowering the amount they pay caregivers. These payments are almost at the point where the cost of care is higher than the payment received. I beleive that the government will have to be the driver of a solution, but their ability to make tough choices is usually lacking.
What we don't want is to go back to the large county nursing homes for indigent seniors (I am referring to the ones that existed 50 years ago or so).
Spot on Carolyn! And many lawyers make a ton of money making those transfers happen. All legal, but wrong all the same!
Carolyn- thank you for such wise words – it would make a LOT more sense for those who could afford to plan for care to do so rather than to plan for the Medicaid spend down. It infuriates me that those who could avoid this financial risk with insurance would rather have their lawyer draw up papers to place themselves in intentional impoverishment. Taxpayers can no longer afford those who really need the safety net – much less those who don't! At my firm we believe in Medicaid Avoidance – NOT Medicaid planning.

Yes, wow. At least that makes sense. Not the price, it's outrageous, of course, but given who buys these, it's people who are much more particular and simply can afford it. No $399 per month crowd, no leader ads, rather you see most conveniences, some sport or appearance stuff, too. Unfortunately, BMW charges arm and leg, but they can, cause nobody else sells those, so you got to pay what they ask.

michaellno Posts: 4,300I heard there were some bribery scandals in Honda corporate, as dealers were trying to buy their consideration for more attractive lines and models.
That was back in the 80's and early 90's - a great book about the subject is "Arrogance and Accords" and was written by a low level regional sales rep from Honda Corporate. Quite the insiders view of the car world and the greed it spawned.
Remember, this was back in the day when there weren't enough Accords (and Civics) to go around, all dealers had the 'markup' tag on them and there was the voluntary import restrictions agreed to by the major Japanese auto makers (so as to give the Big 3 a fighting chance).
Many of the senior sales executives at Honda were convicted. A few dealers, too, but mostly they provided the necessary evidence to the US Justice Dept to help nail the Honda folks.
I was challenged here some time ago to produce evidence of modern diesel needing more maintenance. At the time I could not produce it, although I heard that assertion multiple times from people who know more about cars than I do. Now I have it - BMW will pay for its gasoline engines oil changes every 15K/2 years, while for its new diesel (328d) the period is 10K/1 year. That is tangible evidence that modern diesel engine requires more attention. Oil change is usually just a tip of the iceberg. I'm reasonably confident there is more. Nothing comes free. Diesel engines used to be very insensitive to fuel, now they are very sensitive (due to clean diesel), which mean any kind of impurities will adversely affect durability and service - in turn I'll expect more extensive work required to keep them up. It's all exact opposite to what's used to be. Old diesels were clunky, noisy, stinky and slow, but super durable and resistant to abuse. Many were naturally aspirated. Modern diesels are quiter, smoother, faster, all are turbocharged. As and engineer, I can say with some authority, there was a price somewhere. I'm guessing (just a man's opinion) it will be in lifespan and service. I'd not be surprised if their useful life came close to their gasoline counterparts and milion milers were things of the past.

If BMW is offering 4yr/50K free maintenance then what is the problem? I would suspect that owners of a 328d would follow manufactures recommendations on oil changes once the 4/50 is over with. Whether it is 5K miles or 7500 miles. Since there is no info on this as of yet.
To the kingdom come - well perhaps at least in forseable future. It's completely different mindset. They do that anyway for their domestic markets - almost nobody buys BMW or Benz from a dealer's lot over there. The only reason for them to depart from that mindset is if they want to increase volumes and drop the price even further. Right now BMW's price sheet in the US market is about 5 pages for each model. In Germany it is a 50 page book. Three, soon four engine versions here for (non-M) sedan, nine version there (four gasoline: 316i, 320i, 328i, 335i, five diesel:316d, 318d, 320d, 325d, 330d) and that's just a start. They sell a lot more a'la carte options than here. Germans joke that base Mercedes or BMW doesn't even have a side mirror, because it comes in so many options.
Of course, prices reflect that, too. We are lucky here to pay much less, but it is definitely at expense of choice.
BTW, it seems you were on something in your early guesses of diesel coming as 320d. Based on published figures from here and there, it looks they simply took theirs 320d and renamed it 328d for US market, probably to justify price above 328i. A bit cheating, but it may be the US thing, where if you sell 320d at price above 328i people may simply not appreciate it. Too many issues with market positioning. Europeans know they have to pay much more for "equivalent" (whatever that means) diesels, it may take some time to break that news to Americans.

The problem is post "free" period. Some people keep their cars longer than three years. The allure of diesels has always been their long life. If you trade every three years, of course no problem for you, just the next guy.

Doesn't the payback for the extra upfront cost and small premium for a gal of diesel come after the 3-4 year period? What would be the incentive for diesel if you are leasing it for 3 years unless you just like the smell? It's not as if you see a lot 328s pulling trailers where you would need the torque.
Don't ask me, I'm not the one yearning for diesel.
To be fair, the depreciation on diesel may be better than gas, so you may get some of the upfront cost back at trading. But the whole idea of diesel is to lower your costs of ownership. One doesn't do that through 3-year trading cycle. At that point depreciation, even a better one, is still by far greatest portion of ownership. My orginal thesis was one gets the diesel (or at least used to) to keep it long, longer than gasoline powered car, as diesels are supposed to last longer. Moreover, the car was supposed to take some abuse on the way, as diesels used to. However, the clean diesel technology may be one that drives stake through that thesis. If diesels require more maintenance, got more fragile due to tougher emission standards and may not last as long ... again, why would one want a diesel? Oh, to save $500 per year on fuel. Ahhhhh. I see. So we spend couple of thousands more for new, another couple of thousand more on maintenance (maybe, we don't know it yet, but the early indications are there) then we shake and pray every time we pour the fuel (what if that fuel is not as pure as it's supposed to?), drive around with clacking noise looking for next gas station... Then at 100K-150K miles it croaks same way gasoline engine does... All to save us cool 500 bucks per year. WOW!!!
I'm excaggerating here, of course, but so far I'm not convinced. However, I admit, this installment of diesel from BMW looks much more legitimate than the previous 55+ grand speed monster 335d.
2012 BMW 328i wagon, manual and sports package. No. sold in the US: 1. Probably.
yeah, there are a lot of WAGs, though educated, in your scenario. There are many, many gas powered engines routinely lasting 150 to 200k without major trouble. Usually, after so many years it is the other systems that start to add up to major dollars and headaches that incent many people to get rid of the vehicle and not the engine. Just read about the Volvo owner that owns the world mileage record....2.7million miles on a gas engine. Rebuilt twice. Engines will last a long time if maintained very well. A/C, auto trans, fancy electronics, etc. not so much.
Yeah, I don't know that either, what I know it is much more than ol' good diesel of the past. I suspect it may be more than gas for one reason - due to the nature of fuel burning in diesel chamber (much higher pressures), the ability to control that burning clean may require much heavier computer involvement - but that's again my guess. It is based on how big of a deal it was to introduce ULSD fuel. The resistance was not just because of the fuel cost, but because of the additional cost of the engines (which probably comes from electronics) and the fact that lack of sulphur is supposedly damaging to old engines. Something to do with lubrication, don't know the details. There must be heavy electronics in that thing to run so smooth vs. old diesels.

Doesn't the payback for the extra upfront cost and small premium for a gal of diesel come after the 3-4 year period?
There are many factors in how long it takes to make up the difference, the cost between premium Unleaded (PUL) and Diesel (D), the cost between the gasser and Diesel and how many miles one drives.
Here in PHX, the price between PUL and D is roughly $.35/gallon, D is less.
Of course the more you drive the quicker the even point. The last year of ownership of my 330 and 328i I had I placed 8500 miles on these two cars. It is not cost effective for me to lease or buy a new 328d, since it would take me roughly 15 years to break even, and this is if the price stays the same. Once a 328d is about two years old, which would put it at about the same price as a 328i (used) then the cost of ownership would roughly be the same, even if you place a 15% increase of service over the 328i, the saving of fuel MPG is greater then 15%.
Is a diesel for everybody no, but be ready for Audi and MB to be offering more diesels in their cars for 2014, MB already has the GLK250 Bluetech on the lots and they are selling very well.
From automobile mag about the glk250 blue mentioned above "it will surely not sell in big numbers: diesels account for just six percent of all new Mercedes sales in the U.S."
Read more: http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1305_2013_mercedes_benz_glk250_bluet- ec_4matic/#ixzz2Vxm0yRFd
Can you expand on the comment they are selling very well? Where did you get this data from?
"Very well" is always a matter of expectations. If they think they'll sell 10 and they sell 20, it's better than "very well". Nothing is more effective in creating a buzz than shortage, artificial or real. That's especially true in low-volume models, when the demand can unexpectedly turn higher than expected and can't be satisfied due to low production, which was due to marketing team telling their bosses they won't sell many, not necessarily because of some evil plan. I'd like to see how many total GLK were sold and how many of those were diesels - moreover, how many did MB actually expect to sell.
BTW, I just read somewhere that over 50% of people declared they'd "consider" diesel in their next purchase. Of course from "considering" to actuall buying is a long way, but those manufacturers who do it right (in terms of pricing, offering, etc.), could actually benefit from early move. I don't think we'll see a hype comparable to early Prius, but it is possible that that people will look at diesels and actually buy them. American public in its mass has a tendency (to put it mildly) for "one-dimensional" behavior. "Save on gas" mantra can overshadow any reason. I can easily see temporary diesel car shortages on dealers' lots, markup stickers and all the nonsense that comes with some superhot models. Of course paying extra couple of grand for a diesel will defeat the purpose, but who cares. Isn't that how we (as nation) buy new trends every time, all the time? Whether it's early Prius, or later Honda Fit, cash for clunkers, the story is the same. Media whip up a frenzy, people run and agree to outrageous terms just to be in this new wonder that's supposed to save them gas. They prepaid that saved gas for next 10 years, but who would bother to look at numbers? It's trend that counts. I have a diesel, but Jones across the street is still on the list - makes me a winner. :sick:

Edmunds used to have "Future models" tab with comprehensive brand-by-brand view on up-to-date knowledge on future models. It seems gone, replaced by generic automotive news column that's unsorted. It sucks.

nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 7,419My thoughts are that unless you are a cab driver or someone who drives a lot more than the 20,000 miles per year that I drive, it is extremely difficult to justify the purchase of a diesel or hybrid vehicle purely for the "gas savings."
Here in the northeast, diesel is more expensive than 93 Octane. I paid $4.19/gallon for 93 this AM and Diesel was $4.35/gallon.
The manufacturers are getting serious about selling diesel as a viable alternative. I personally LOVED the way the 2011 335d drove, but a car like that had an MSRP of well over $50K & was not offered with 4WD. MB & BMW seem to be bringing in their new 4cyl diesels at a price point that makes them easier to swallow. But, they are still more expensive.
As dino001 pointed out, maintenance on these new, modern diesels is more intensive. More frequent oil changes (compared to their gasoline counterparts), a urea tank that must be filled by the dealer every X amount of miles.
Diesels are not cheap to buy, own, or fill up every week.

For travelers who are looking for something more than budget, Ocean Melody is the place!
Private and comfortable for two guests, this brand new casita is located in the coast-side village of Bahia, only 800 meters from the main entrance of the Marine National Park Ballena and the beautiful wild beaches Playa Uvita and Playa Colonia.
Its location right behind the beach forest of the National Park, only 200 meters from the Ocean, provides a daily breeze and the constant magic melody of the sea waves.

Air conditioning provides extra cooling in the bedroom. The queen sized bed is comfortable and equipped with 100% cotton bed and pillows sheets. A living room extra air-blown mattress is available on request for young families with kids.

This is probably the best value rental on Airbnb. The pictures and description are accurate, but are understated. In fact, it is even better than it appears; the place is very private, nicely designed and well maintained, and so well equiped there are even spare light bulbs and a sewing kit ! It's fitted out with taste and style with much better quality than the price bracket would suggest. There is great bird watching from the deck and the pool, the deck even has roof fans in case the breeze doesn't blow.
Uvita is a great place to visit (if you can be bothered to get out of the pool), the beach is close and it's a nice little town with lots to do locally.
We have travelled about quite a lot over the years, and I can't ever remember enjoying a place as much as this, our stay wasn't long enough, but I will know better next time.
This was the most beautiful place in Costa Rica ! By far our most favorite accomodation on our whole trip. Massimiliano was also very helpful . Thank you !

The Ada News
Ada —
It's not every day you walk up on somebody trying to burglarize the Pontotoc County Justice Center, but that's what happened to Sheriff John Christian as he headed for his car after work Monday evening.
As to why Michael Erickson, 46, Ada, chose a site others have fought to get out of, Christian says no one seems to know — not even Erickson himself.
At any rate, while walking to his car, Christian heard a loud noise coming from The north side of the building and began walking toward the noise.
What he saw was Erickson flailing away at the driver's side of a black GMC pickup that sheriff's deputies had seized in another arrest. His tool of choice for inflicting the damage was a pair of pruning shears.

SEATTLE (AP) — Hisashi Iwakuma won for the first time in over a month and the Seattle Mariners completed their first sweep of the season yesterday, beating the Los Angeles Angels 4-3. Michael Saunders hit a two-run homer and Raul Ibanez had an RBI double as the Mariners topped Los Angeles for the third straight day. Sluggers Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols went a combined 1 for 8.
SEATTLE (AP) — Tanisha Wright scored 13 of her 21 points in the second half and Camille Little added 19 points and 10 rebounds as the Seattle Storm rallied to beat the Atlanta Dream 73-65 last night. Shekinna Stricklen added 10 points for the Storm in her first start. Rookie Alex Bentley scored 16 and Erika de Souza had 16 points and 14 rebounds for Atlanta, which only had eight players available.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Camilo scored two goals six minutes apart to lead the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Fire yesterday. Camilo leads MLS with 12 goals this season. Vancouver overtook the idle Los Angeles Galaxy for fourth place in the Western Conference.
NEW YORK (AP) — Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma is being replaced on the AL All-Star team. AL manager Jim Leyland of Detroit is swapping Iwakuma, who started yesterday at New York's Citi Field, along with Tigers ace Justin Verlander and Oakland's Bartolo Colon. The three are being replaced with Baltimore pitcher Chris Tillman, Kansas City closer Greg Holland and Oakland closer Grant Balfour.

Re: faded away ?TOSSER Nov 21, 2012 10:00 PM (in response to SANDRABEE007)
Not sure what you're asking. Do you want to know if you can keep playing MW3 while everyone else is playing Black Ops 2? If so, then yes you can. You can still go online and play MW, MW 2, MW 3, Black Ops and World at War. The problem is, support has for the most part been dropped and the hackers have mostly taken over. So getting into a good game is a little tougher because of the cheaters.
Re: faded away ?Alun1 Nov 23, 2012 7:24 AM (in response to SANDRABEE007)
MW3 still has quite an active online seen even with BO2's launch. not sure about the others. console gaming isn't as affected by the "cheaters" as the PC community but it still happens from time to time, as what happened with COD4. but as for the support. you would need to stay with the current crowd to get that, activision only looks after those that give them money.
