speaking of this i saw the bucs do it again and very close to doing it week 3. what gives???? i understand you play till the end and allowing a kneeldown sort of takes the other teams chance of still winning away but show class.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails."

Didn't we kick it on 3rd down? I thought if you kicked on 3rd down and missed you can re-kick on 4th down. Which is why you kick on 3rd down.

By Tim Graham
PITTSFORD -- Two weeks ago, Buffalo Bills receiver T.J. Graham's father told me the athlete who most suggests Graham could be an Olympic-caliber sprinter was Jeff Demps, a member of America's silver-medal-winning 4x100-meter relay team.
That comparison came to mind this afternoon upon reading NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport's story about Demps filing paperwork with the league office to play football.
Demps was a running back for the University of Florida. He went undrafted in April because of his track aspirations. He will be a free agent. Any team, including the Bills, can sign him.
Demps played 51 games for the Gators. He rushed for 2,470 yards (averaging 6.7 yards a carry) and 23 touchdowns. He added 57 receptions and another touchdown. He averaged 28.8 yards per kickoff return and brought one back as a senior.
Demps ran for the U.S. relay team in a preliminary heat, but he didn't run in the finals. He still won a silver medal for his role on the team.
His accomplishments bolstered Trevor Graham's belief that his son would have competed in London had T.J. chosen track instead of football.
"He was in the same class as Jeff Demps," said Trevor Graham, T.J.'s father and former coach to noted Olympians Justin Gatlin, Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones. Demps "got injured this year and didn't do that well, but he would've placed in the top three on the U.S. team in the 100 meters.
"T.J. would have been one of those guys and probably in the top six in the 100 meters had he gone track. But he has been a football guy, and we never pushed track on him that much. If we did, I could see him definitely on the team this year."
Looks like T.J. Graham and Demps are about to have something else in common.

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Artby Scott McCloud
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Praised throughout the cartoon industry by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, Matt Groening, and Will Eisner, this innovative comic book provides a detailed look at the history, meaning, and art of comics and cartooning.
"If you've ever felt bad about wasting your life reading comics, then check out Scott McCloud's classic book immediately. You might still feel you've wasted your life, but you'll know why, and you'll be proud." Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons
"In one lucid, well-designed chapter after another, [McCloud] guides us through the elements of comics style, and...how words combine with pictures to work their singular magic. When the 215-page journey is finally over, most readers will find it difficult to look at comics in quite the same way ever again."Garry Trudeau, New York Times Review of Books
"BRAVO!! Your Understanding Comics is a landmark dissection and intellectual consideration of comics as a valid medium. Its employment of comic art as its vehicle is brilliant. Everyone...anyone interested in this literary form must read it. Every school teacher should have one." Will Eisner
"With Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics the dialogue on and about what comics are and, more importantly, what comics can be has begun. If you read, write, teach or draw comics; if you want to; or if you simply want to watch a master explainer at work, you must read this book." Neil Gaiman
"Cleverly disguised as an easy-to-read comic book, Scott McClou'?s simple looking tome deconstructs the secret language of comics while casually revealing secrets of Time, Space, Art and the Cosmos! The most intelligent comics I've seen in a long time. Bravo." Art Spiegelman
"Understanding Comics is quite simply the best analysis of the medium that I have ever encountered. With this book Scott McCloud has taken breathtaking leaps towards establishing a critical language that the comic art form can work with and build upon in the future. Lucid and accessible, it is an astonishing feat of perception. Highly recommended." Alan Moore
"[A] rare and exciting work that ingeniously uses comics to examine the medium itself." Publisher's Weekly
"[A] brilliant comic book discussion of what makes comics work." L. A. Times
"[Understanding Comics] might well turn out to be the rosetta stone, the secret decoder ring, the lyrics sheet, for pete's sake, to all that has gone on in comics art. [This] 216-page book is one of a kind, a combination of everything funny and profound, cool and quirky." Chicago Sun-Times
Traces the 3,000 year history of storytelling through pictures, discussing the language and images used.
This detail-packed book includes a history of comics that reaches back to pre-Columbian picture manuscripts and Egyptian monuments and a running analysis of comics as art, literature, and communication.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [216]).
About the Author
Scott McCloud is a four-time Harvey and Eisner winner. His comics have been translated into 14 languages. He's lectured on lectured on digital media at M.I.T.'s Media Lab and the Smithsonian Instution.

Federal managers lack information about partial retirement options, survey finds
- By Eric Katz
- November 30, 2012
- Leave a comment
A majority of federal managers are under- or misinformed on their partial retirement options, according to a new survey.
Eighty-six percent of federal supervisors plan to retire within the next 15 years, according to a survey from Government Business Council, Government Executive's research arm. But 50 percent of respondents said they don't know if their agency offers partial retirement. Eleven percent mistakenly said their agency already offers partial retirement, although the option is not yet available.
Partial, or phased, retirement allows eligible federal employees to work part time while collecting prorated pension payments. Partial retirees are required to spend at least 20 percent of their part-time employment on mentoring new workers. Congress passed a bill in June creating the option for partial retirement, but it has not yet taken effect.
In addition to a dearth of accurate information, there appears to be a lack of interest in the option, as only 10 percent of respondents said they would be interested in partial retirement. Eighteen percent said they would like to work part time or temporarily for a different employer after they retire from government.
The survey may suggest agencies make greater efforts to educate their employees on the partial retirement option, as nearly six in 10 managers said their agency has no plans -- or they did not know what the plans were -- to deal with the "skills exodus" created by mass retirements.
GBC surveyed 1,075 General Schedule 11 or higher federal employees and Senior Executive Service supervisors from Sept. 5 through Sept. 14.

On February 10, 2012, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D opens in theaters.
I remember watching the original three Star Wars films in the movie theater as a kid and I love that this generation gets to experience all the Star Wars movies on the big screen.
The 2012 Star Wars: Episode I has been updated with all the bells and whistles you expect with today's big blockbusters. Some folks don't like it when they mess with the original movie, but Jackass 3 was in 3D after all, so of course Star Wars should make its own splash in 3D as well.
Get your Star Wars movie tickets at Fandango.com and enjoy the show. When you get back to work after the big on screen adventure, relive the Star Wars experience with your very own Yoda Computer Monitor Sitter from OfficePlayground.com.
Yoda, a renowned Jedi master, first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back. Followed up by Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.
The Yoda Computer Sitter makes his home on top of your computer monitor while keeping an eye on your desk. This Yoda is a fun bobble head desk toy that will help make your workspace more enjoyable.
If Yoda isn't your favorite Star Wars character, visit OfficePlayground.com and check out the Darth Vader Computer Sitter and the Boba Fett Computer Sitter.
Don't worry if attending the next Comic-Con wearing a Stormtrooper or Chewbacca costume is out of your comfort zone. The Yoda, Darth Vader and Boba Fett monitor bobble heads are a fun way to show your love for all things Star Wars.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Back in 2006 North Tonawanda baseball was a reputable program. John Chairmonte was at the helm and the Lumberjacks were a perennial contender in the Niagara Frontier League.
But recently the Jacks have fallen upon hard times on the diamond. Last season they finished 3-15 and now the team has welcomed its fourth coach in as many years: Eric Partnell.
Partnell played for North Tonawanda and hopes to help this year's team bring the program back to respectability. Chairmonte (Partnell's coach back in 2006) will serve as an assistant to the young skipper as he attempts to restore a winning culture at North Tonawanda.
"Last season was certainly disappointing for everyone at NT," Partnell said. "So we certainly expect better than that, and that's why we're doing what we need to do to get back to a winning program. We kind of had the reputation of being a good baseball program and the past couple seasons haven't been real good for us."
The Jacks return a number of players from last year's squad, and Partnell said they have grown from their experience last season.
Chris Mellott will bat cleanup and catch an improved rotation for the Jacks. Partnell said Mellott is the player who holds everything together for NT, and the team will rely on his leadership.
Batting leadoff is senior Josh Brosius, who has signed to play at Erie Community College next season. Brosius struggled at the plate last season hitting .240, but Partnell said he has been working tirelessly all offseason to get his swing to where it needs to be.
"The team and coaches voted him captain," Partnell said. "He's a real athletic kid who comes in and works hard and does what he has to do. … A couple summers back I coached him on a travel team and a friend of mine was working with him at Sports Performance Park all winter. He's getting other guys to go with him out there, getting in the cage and working on the fundamentals; fine-tuning that swing."
On the mound the Jacks have a one-two punch in senior captain Matt Noakes and sophomore lefty Taylor Mellott.
Noakes has a fastball that shoots hard and down at the knees and has been working on improving his breaking ball, Partnell said. "He probably has one of the nicer curve balls on the roster. We did a couple drills the other day and we all said, 'Watch Matt, he does it right.' "
Noakes has already noticed a difference since Partnell took over.
"We definitely have a lot more organization," Noakes said. "We have more coaches for more positions. It was hard last year with only the one or two coaches we had. We have three coaches now. I feel like all of us have gotten better."
Mellott played last year as a freshman and was the only player Partnell let come out for the varsity team.
"You can tell he just fits in," Partnell said. "His arm strength is incredible for a sophomore. He has a nice breaking pitch going and he's even working on some new stuff. He could have four or five pitches in the repertoire by the end here."
Tom O'Connor will man the middle at shortstop with Chris Jurzcak at second base. Nick Baron and Curtis Swan join Brosius in the outfield, and senior Jacob Clare will move between first and third.
Partnell said that the change he is looking to see in the program begins with preparation. After being cooped up in the gym for weeks working on fundamentals, he's hoping the team will be able to put some of what's been taught into action on the diamond.
"We've tried to get the fundamentals in while we're inside so when we get outside we're ready to go," he said. "We've tried to fine-tune some things like situational hitting, hitting your spots from the mound and just starting with the basics.
"Guys that were here know that losing isn't fun. That's something I've been trying to preach. Last season wasn't fun for anyone, it seems, and we're just trying to change that culture."NT Projected Lineup 1 -- Josh Brosius (CF) 2 -- Tom O'Connor (SS) 3 -- Taylor Mellott (1B/P) 4 -- Chris Mellott (C) 5 -- Matt Noakes (3B/P) 6 -- Nick Baron (RF) 7 -- Jacob Clare (1B/3B) 8 -- Curtis Swan (LF) 9 -- Chris Jurzcak (2B) Contact sports editor Matt Parrino at 693-1000 ext. 4117 and find Tonawanda News sports on Twitter @tonanewssports.

Our Islamic Fine-Tuning Project
A major public conversation among American Muslims has emerged since September 11: Is there room for progressive Islam?
BY: Omid Safi
This essay is adapted from the introduction of a new book, Progressive Muslims: On Justice, Gender, and Pluralism (Oxford: Oneworld Publications, 2003).
Walk into any Islamic center, and there is likely to be a table featuring pamphlets bearing titles like "The Status of Women in Islam," "Concept of God in Islam," "Concept of Worship in Islam." Printed in pale yellow, pink, and green shades, they promise truth in black and white. I hate these pamphlets.
I think Muslims are in imminent danger--if we are not there already--of succumbing to "pamphlet Islam," the fallacy of thinking that complex issues can be handled in four or six glossy pages.
A few years ago, when I started teaching at an undergraduate college in New York, I was the only Muslim faculty member. I was advisor to the small group of Muslim students, about six of them at that time. As we went around introducing ourselves, one student gushed: "What I love about Islam is that it is so simple!"
"Islam is simple" is a slogan used as an excuse to avoid discussion, and even disagreement. Islam is not simple because Muslims are not simple. We argue, we disagree, we joke, we walk away mad, we come back, we compromise. But we do not, and will not ever all agree on one interpretation of Islam.
And that is why there is progressive Islam.
Our movement is an attempt to help Islam swim through the rising waters of our world. We intend to work through our traditions of thought and practice--even though some interpretations of Islam are part of the problem. On the other hand, we want to come up with solutions to new problems.
For progressive Muslims, an essential part of our struggle is to challenge the great impoverishment of thought and spirit brought forth by Muslim literalist-exclusivists (popularly known as fundamentalists). Groups such as the Wahhabis have bulldozed over not just Sufi shrines and graveyards of the family of the Prophet in Arabia, but also whole structures of Islamic thought. Wahhabism started as a movement in what is today Saudi Arabia in the late 18th century, and over its existence has deemed illegitimate all other interpretations of Islam except its own. There is an urgent need for progressive Muslims to resist and replace the lifeless, narrow, and oppressive ideology that Wahhabism poses to Islam.

By Bob DiCesare
UB senior Khalil Mack displayed his customary humility today in reacting to the announcement he's been named one of five finalists for the Butkus Award presented to college football's top linebacker.
Mack gave credit for him making the cut to his teammates and coaches while attending coach Jeff Quinn's weekly news conference at UB Stadium today. Mack has maintained all season that his success has been a product of those around him, especially Quinn and defensive coordinator Lou Tepper.
"It's a blessing," Mack said. "It's a tribute to coach Quinn, coach Tepper, all the coaches that have made it happen. I'm blessed. I can't say anything other than I'm blessed. And thankful."
Mack is the only one of the five finalists who plays outside a BCS AQ conference. Also in contention for the award are Anthony Barr of UCLA, C.J. Mosley of Alabama, Ryan Shazier of Ohio State and Shayne Skov of Stanford. Shazier, a junior, is the lone non-senior in the group.
The winner is scheduled to be announced on Dec. 10. The award panel consists of 81 coaches, scouts and journalists.

Tracking Eero Stars Take On NY Media
Eero Ettala, Eiki Helgason and Jake Blauvelt dropped into the media mecca that is New York City a few short days before Halloween to premiere "Tracking Eero" the multi-media project. Crashing at the Thompson LES was the ideal location for the crew, one mile from the Red Bull Space (premiere location) and easy access to the subway for the all mid-town media stops.
After a fabulous buffet breakfast at Shang in the Thompson LES, the crew assembled to jump on the V Train and head to Men's Health on 3rd Avenue. Senior Editor, Matt Bean showed the boys around the office and after a few funny run-ins with other editors a great conversation / interview took place for 45 minutes. It was really good for the team to talk to a non-endemic media Senior Editor and see what the rest of the world is wanting to learn. Before we headed to ESPN Rise Magazine, Bean took a photo with the crew and Senator John McCain (check the photo).
A short stroll to ESPN The Magazine's offices on 34th Street we were greeted by Lifestyle Editor, Jay Corbin of ESPN Rise Magazine. Posting up in the famous "E: 60" room, Jay interviewed the crew on the show, riding, tips, his experiences, products and more. To say Jay is a character is quite the understatement – if you are ever in NYC check out his DJ skills on Saturday nights.
The ESPN Rise interview session rolled right into lunch at "The Company" (boutique pizza joint) with ESPN's Michael Orenstein. Pizza was insanely good and everyone shared stories about this past season's shredding. From there the crew broke up to build out the displays for the party and visit Mark Borden, Senior Editor at Fast Company Magazine.
Mr. Borden is an "A-Class" writer, responsible for many award winning pieces, but most recently putting an athlete on the cover of Fast Company with Shaun White this past summer. Fast Company is based out of 7 World Trade Center on the 29th Floor, an absolutely breathtaking view of downtown New York City. Eero and Eiki were blown away by the view and enjoyed the location's environment.
The boys wrapped up the day with a skate session with Jenner Richards of Red Bull in Brooklyn, NY. After the skate session the whole crew grabbed dinner at "Lusso's" in SoHo with Timbo Baggins of ESPN.com to do an exclusive interview. Look for the exclusive interview, photos and video clips to drop soon on ESPN.com in the next week.
From dinner the crew rolled into the Red Bull Space and a crowd of screaming fans waiting for the world premiere to drop.

Buick LaCrosse Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Just returned from a Northern Michigan golf trip. Bay Harbor and Boyne Resorts were great. My putting wasn't! We put 1033 miles on the odometer in 8 days.
On the return drive of 240 mile, my CXS reported 24.5 mpg on mid grade gas. I drove at an average speed of 62 mph and generally used crusie at 76 mph. I hoped for a couple of more miles per gallon. This did slightly exceed my 2009 E350 4matic but falls 3 mpg short of mu 2007 rwd Mercedes.
I also am now consistently getting a clanging noise once immediately after I start the car up. Anyone share this experience?
Suburban Cadillac-Buick will get a shot at fixing this. They have a really innovative website for scheduling your own service...too bad it doesn't work. My order was lost and they auto-assigned me to a guy who stopped working thjere two weeks earlier. I entered a complaint on their home page and their promise of an "immediate phone response" still hasn't been kept after ten days.
I still find the door and trunk keyless system very quirky. I may just use the fob as that works well enough.
Lack of trunk space was a prounced problem. We squeezed two golf bags in diagonally. All luggage had to go into the back seat.
The ride was quiet, passing power was good, seats have gotten a little more comfortable as the lumber support has broken in. Still recommend the car.
Karen_CM Posts: 5,020A national magazine would like to talk to some buyers of the new Buick Lacrosse. Please email predmunds.com no later than Wednesday, September 29, 2010 with your daytime contact info.

Bought my LaCrosse CXS 10/11/10 and just joined Edmunds to post this and find other buyers who have expressed their opinions about the car's cost and buying experience (as indicated by the title). I presume likes and dislikes are found in other threads.
I was really looking for a CXS with Nav and NO sunroof. My experience with sunroofs is that I have opened it about 4 times a year. The dealer had all their CXS's with a sunroof and none with Nav! Since I have a fairly new Garmin portable, I decided to save the ~$600 differential and take what they had. So in addition to the sunroof pkg. ($1,195) the options I got were the touring pkg with the 19" wheels ($800) and the rear seat mounted thorax air bags ($350) - a safety feature I wanted since we transport our grandkids back there.
MSRP for this including $750 transportation (on sticker) was $36,360. I paid $35,331. I do not include title, etc. as that varies state to state. I did get $1,000 discount for having been a former Buick Regal owner. So my net was $34,331.
My sales guy expressly told us that regular gas was all the CSX required. The book says differently. He also told us chains could be put on the wheels. That is discouraged in the book.
Just 3 peeves so far which did not come to light until after purchase:
1. No 12 volt power outlet (old cigarette lighter) external to enclosed spaces. I mean, how do you run a cord from the outlet in the center console?
2. Center console space not big enough to fit a CD in its case. Huh??
3. Trunk not wide or deep enough for a packed golf bag. Must be stowed diagonally.
I expect I'll be joining in on other threads to discuss these peeves as well as bring my opinions on other items under discussion. See you there.
Welcome aboard.
Did you notice that there is no locking compartment either? I use an ipod in my 2010 CXS and it is unprotected from valets and the garage mechanic. I also could use a coin holder.
Things I like best about my CXS are the Heads Up Display, Blind Side Alerts, NAV combined with XM SAT Weather and Traffic Alerts. Things I don't like are the poor highway gas mileage, the incomplete implementation of Bluetooth (can't download my phonebook) and the dealer attitudes.
I have the 3.6L which I run on Reg or Mid-grade gas. Its 16 mpg in short trip local driving and 24.5 mpg highway at 75 on cruise. I forgot to mention, GM allows up to 5 mph wander when cruise is active. In these days of ABS brakes and computer controlled engine throttle and engine timing, I find this very unsatisfactory.
I agree with you on the trunk. Having rear seats that fold down helps get those golf clubs in. Just don't have more than one passenger.
I see that I didn't specify that my CXS is a 2011 model, just to clear the record.
I have only put ~480 miles on it so far and I think it's a bit premature to evaluate gas mileage. My DIC says the total avg is 20.6. I won't reset that until I'm past the 600 mile mark. I live on top of a hill and each time I go anywhere I coast down, hitting the shifter into manual to 2nd, but really suck up the gas getting back up. From flat ground at the bottom it's about 3/4 mile up with grades as much as 20% in parts to our final elevation at 730 ft. This has always played havoc with all our vehicles' brakes and gas consumption. The "price" we pay ....
This break-in period is pretty limiting but I have used the cruise control briefly at ~63 mph and didn't notice any deviation/wander on a flat road.
It will be interesting to see what packing techniques I can use on a forthcoming 1500 mile round trip (with a 68 mph top speed?!?) to visit grand kids with suitcases, golf bag/clubs, cooking supplies (we stay at a timeshare), birthday gifts, wife's craft-making supplies, etc., etc. Hmmm, can you tow a trailer with this car?
Price might be right. I could have done better by about $2K if I hung in, but was getting tired of mess. Had 09 Malibu LT2 with safety issue in EPS. So I paid the difference between the two MSRP (+ balance on Malibu).
2011 CSX, all factory options except sunroof, RSD, & inflator kit. MSRP $38925.
I'm already beginning to regret staying with GM because of such things as quirky NAV, seat memory, storage, ride, headrests and a deep scratch in sheet metal I did not find until a few days after I took home. Obviously there before paint.
Check here
or the link at upper right.
You will find lease options and purchase. Right now they have 0% + $1500 back from Ally financing, was GMAC.
May be other incentives but you need to check with your dealer. Sounds pretty good to me.
I stayed under 40K MSRP by having all factory options except sunroof, RSE, & inflator kit. No dealer added items. Not listed at build site are the rear seat thorax airbags. Defects are free
bwia Boston Posts: 1,163Just read on MSN [http://money.msn.com/saving-money/5-things-car-salesmen-will-not-say-weston- .asp- x?page=2] that you get the best price from internet department when buying an automobile.
According to the article "Most car shoppers use the Internet to do at least some of their research. When it's time to buy a car, though, the majority still head to dealerships to match wits with salespeople. What people typically don't understand is that the car buying is more transparent, and salespeople have more authority, in the dealerships' Internet departments, Reed said. You don't have to cool your heels in a salesperson's office for 45 minutes while he or she "checks with the boss" on every aspect of your negotiation.
The Internet department salespeople know what the bottom-line prices are for the cars they sell and usually are authorized to cut deals without checking in with superiors. You can take advantage of this setup in two ways. From the comfort of your home, you can solicit lowest-price quotes on a car from a bunch of dealerships at once. Or, if you insist on going to a car lot, you can simply ask for the Internet department when you walk through the doors and skip the usual hustle."
I tried the internet route but they didn't treat me as a serious buyer so I nixed that approach and drove straight to the dealer. What's your experience? Did you use the internet or brick and mortar approach?
dodgeman07 Posts: 573"Did you use the internet or brick and mortar approach? "
I bought a new LaCrosse this month and used both. I did request Internet quotes on several GM and Ford models. Some dealers did not bother to respond but most did. Of those that did respond, a couple did not want to give a quote and only tried to get me in for a test drive.
The Internet approach can take some of the haggling out of buying, even when you have a trade. You can get the best cash price upfront and then all you need to do is hammer out an agreement on your trade-in. I like that.
I believe people would make more visits to car dealerships during business hours if the "traditional" selling approach was scrapped. I test drove 5 cars at 3 different dealerships this month before buying. The one with the pressure approach didn't get my business. That said, a low key salesman who lets the car sell itself, along with an inviting atmosphere inside and outside the store,can make any sales model work.

Hello-its been a while since I made a new car purchase and I am interested in a 2013 Buick Lacrosse. I was wondering how much should I be able to get off an msrp. of $35480? Also, I will be financing the loan and was wondering what the rates and terms are through gm for 60 & 70 months respectfully.
What are other people getting off the msrp?
Any help is greatly appreciated
My intention is to understand what dealers are selling below msrp. I will do homework on invoice but my question was simply what to expect to be reasonable and what would be waste of time when it comes to price variance. Can i expect $1000, 2,000,3,000 off?
Just wondering what people are getting.
Thank you
I got $4000 off. Now you need to know what time of year I bought, if I leased or not, which rebates I was eligible for (conquest, loyaty, military, new college grad, slow selling model, leasee only, which State, how many dealers within 15 miles etc etc.)
You will find that more comes off on a $40,000 model than on a $32,00 model.
Try the Kelly "True Market price" info or visit two dealers and see for yourself. You could always send out ten emails to the Internet Sales Managers.
I completely understand, about the price diiferential from a higher priced to a lower priced. I just didn't want to go in and expect 5-6 thou. Off when they are only giving 2. As for rebates and incentives ill check those out. The vehicle msrp is 35260 tey are advertising internet 33260. Im sure it includes all incentives. Id like to get that vehicle out the door for 31500 if possible. Not sure if they come down that low.
Thanks for advice.
Ok, so I have spent the better part of the month looking at and getting quotes on the 2012 & 2013 Lacrosse. What I have seen price wise really depends on individual circumstances. If you have a non gm car you will save an additional 2000. If you are an employee you will save 2000 possibly more. If you are a loyal repeat gm customer your out of luck. GM has sought out to try to bring over new non gm customers rather than focus on keeping existing loyal customers happy as well. I've been able to get a quote as low as $30,500 (before tax,title does include rebates) on a 2012 premium 3. I do believe that to be a good pice from what I have seen. As for 2013, I focused on the "Touring" model and the best At this point is $36,000. Now both of these are new non-titled vehicles. If you are one of the few that qualify for the additional savings mentioned above, you can reduce the amount by 2k more. I have to tell you I'm pretty bitter that gm gives a better deal to some one who never did business with them vs. someone like me who has been a loyal customer over last past 3 decades. They should have a rebate that not only lures non-gm customers but rewards the returning loyal ones as well. I have spoken to gm marketing and customer service, and both agree there has been some back lash about not offering a loyalty rebate. It may be coming soon. Anyway, 2014's are coming out this summer and there is a plentiful supply of 2012 and glut of 2013's that should start being heavily discounted to be moved before the 2014 hit the showrooms. I'm patiently waiting.
Did you recently purchase a car from the Detroit 3 (GM, Ford or Chrysler) after avoiding these domestic vehicles in the past? What made you change your mind? A reporter would like to ask about your experience. If you can help, please contact email@example.com by Friday April 26th 2013.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- N-L championship series M-V-P Jeff Suppan reached a preliminary agreement today on a 42 (M) million dollar, four-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Brewers said in a rare Christmas Eve announcement that Suppan must pass a physical for the deal to be finalized. His contract includes a team option for 2011 with a two (M) million dollar buyout.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said in a conference call that Suppan gives the team a quote "big-game pitcher."
The 31-year-old right-hander went 12-seven with a four-point-one-two E-R-A for St. Louis this season, and was one-one in four postseason starts -- including a win in Game three and seven solid innings in Game seven of the N-L-C-S- against the New York Mets.
Suppan has pitched for Boston, Arizona, Kansas City, Pittsburgh (2003) and St. Louis.
He has reached double figures in wins seven times, and has a career record of 106-101 with a four-point-six-oh E-R-A.

Inalienably Yours
March 13th, 2012
Reader Views: 992
In 1985, the US invaded Panama in outrage over a fixed election in favor of Noriega.
Bush threatened Egypt with sanctions over Election Fraud in 2005.
In 2009, the US and NATO reached a consensus to sanction the rigged elections in Afghanistan.
Thousands of citizens took to the streets in Russia in protest of rigged elections in 2011. The European Parliament threatened financial sanctions over that same fraudulent election.
However, when this happens in the United States, no one bats an eye.
The rampant fraud in the 2012 GOP primary has all but escaped mention by the media.  Statements by Dr. Ron Paul's campaign, the primary target of the crime,  go unpublished with the exception of alternative media sites. Small local newspapers carry stories about hundreds of dead people casting votes, but the large media conglomerates don't pick them up.
Other countries have turned a blind eye – nobody is sending in troops to the United States to keep things honest. No economic sanctions have been threatened.
There are no large mobs taking to the streets in irate protest. Paul supporters who protest or comment are marginalized by the media and all claims of fraudulence are written off as "sour grapes."
Where is our revolution?
Where is our outrage?
How can intelligent men and women watch this happen and do nothing about it?
Every single state that has participated thus far in the Republican primary has had accusations of impropriety, ranging from miscounts, to dead voters, to secret meetings and lost votes. Not one voting has been unquestioned.
And yet, the American people have done nothing but sit idly by in their Lazyboys, flipping the channel to something less mentally taxing, like Jersey Shore.
Dr. Paul has intrepidly persevered through what must be terrible frustration. He isn't giving up despite the fact that he has been cheated in EVERY SINGLE STATE. He has continued on his mission despite being either ignored or ridiculed by the mainstream media. His supporters are loud and active and by all rights, his grass roots campaign should be the one in the lead.
Even more alarmingly, little effort is being taken to hide the criminal activity in this election. What does it mean when the leaders of our society blatantly ignore the laws our country was built on? When democratic elections are so clearly and obviously rigged? When election fraud is utterly ignored by the "justice" system?
It means that our opinion no longer matters. It means that We, the People, have ceased to be a threat in the eyes of the Powers That Be.  Our power to govern ourselves and choose our leaders has been eliminated. We are being condescendingly humored by the "pretend election" that is going on in an America that has already been quietly overthrown.
The unbelievable apathy of the American citizens regarding this criminal behaviour leaves us, as citizens, even more at fault than the perpetrators of the crimes. We are allowing it to happen.
If you do not say "NO" you are giving tacit permission for the behavior. You are allowing this fraud to continue. You are allowing this sham of an electoral process to eliminate your voice. It's late in the game, readers, but it is not too late to resist this. Don't let the efforts and perseverance of the Paul campaign go to waste. Don't allow your constitutional rights as an American citizen to be removed while you stand idly by and ignore the debacle. We ARE the last line of opposition to the loss of our freedom!

@ANONYMOUS, The POLICE get away with it because the people have become lazy and allow them to. They aren't the only ones with guns, responsible citizens have guns too, it is your right and responsibility as a citizen to bear arms to protect against tyranny.
People have to circumvent the vote. We have to use our dollars to change things. We are complicit when we spend our money supporting the evil corporations who bring about this election fraud. It is the only power we have. Buy silver, crash jpmorgan. Don't drink coke, crash Warren Buffet. They will soon get the message that the people have the power.
ALL elections are fraudulent; clean out yer head-gear, New Guy!
The whole idea, that some majority have the right to direct the lives of the minority – through elections, "fair" or otherwise – is a farce and a fraud, in and of itself. Let the people BELIEVE they rule, and they will be ruled. Get it?
I "vote" everyday, in the marketplace, with the only "ballot" that matters – my own hard-earned Federal Reserve notes. I don't worry about "voter fraud" there. Get it?
Voting is a farce, a fraud perpetrated to give elections an appearance of legitimacy. Voting is a sham, a "right" given to the slaves to make the slaves believe they actually have a say in how our government is run. How do you keep slaves happy? Indoctrinate the slaves from the time they are born into believing that they are "FREE"!
Even if Ron Paul runs as a third party candidate, the votes will still be stolen/lost. The Masters will not allow Ron Paul to take the office of the President. Ron Paul would not let the Masters continue their rule, so, Ron Paul will not be allowed by the Masters to take that office.
Treason is being committed at the highest levels of our government. It is time for charges to be brought, trials to be held, and executions of those found guilty to start taking place.
"Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants."
William Penn
When are we going to take action beside ranting about it?
@Michael, go to here http://www.cafr1.com/ and watch this http://youtu.be/bn3hUcmNDdA you find us ….thank u and bring 5 more neighbors with u please….
It could also mean that Ron Paul is a fruitcake right winger in most things that matter, and a supporter of all the things than enable corporate abuse, and Americans don't want what he's offering. Yes, I think that's probably it.
By your own assertion this rampant fraud has not been publicized and yet you proceed to blame the American People for allowing it to go on. How does that work? Shouldn't you be putting a little pressure on the real culprits like the organizations committing the fraud? Like the political parties who refuse to do anything about it? Like the liberal groups who violently oppose voter ID (which would stop 90% of fraud on ALL sides)?
And why is Ron Paul the only victim? When voting is rigged, we are all victims.
Aim your outrage in the right direction. Do a better job getting word to the public and quit O'bama-ing (blaming others for your own shortcomings).
@ounceoflogic, If no one go to the polls …who would win….my point being they still fraudulently their choice or puppet …action now here ..http://youtu.be/bn3hUcmNDdA…..and go here latter http://www.cafr1.com/ please your neighbors with u ..thank you
What I like to bring to the whole global community of humane citizens with emphasis on Americans..We must combat 1 venue at a time,with elimination of taxation,fed reserve on the list.Please all watch this vid. link I adding .It will give you structure and i like to add, a grassroots campaign is forming for a July or August event.We need as many possible to send all your i.d.s …license,s. all back to the united corps of America…this Renaissance event is the powder keg….were striving for to turn the tide…http://www.cafr1.com/ go to this link and serious look it over, and you,ll wake to a groove we all enjoy after this summer, but I need you and your neighbor..now ..PLEASE, http://youtu.be/bn3hUcmNDdA watch and you,ll LOVE me as i LOVE YOU…Danika
On December 23, 1913 our government finally got the federal reserve passed. It was so tricky the way they did it. WHen the other members discovered this they should have raised hell. The Protocols of Zion were being implemented, becuase right after that came WWWI. They got Teddy to start the Bull Moose party to take votes away from Taft, because Wilson owed money and they would get him to enter WWI.
Now Americans have been shafted so many times and ripped of with taxes and the government has allowed rampant immigration, wars and drugs are everywhere. The government could solve our problems. They could send troops to Colombia and get rid of cocaine. They could tell Israel to get their act together and quit causing problems. I feel the only solution is to move all the Palesinians out of Palestine and create a buffer zone around Israel a No man's land of 50 miles. This would solve that problem.
We are policing the world and this government is doing nothing according to the constitution. The BATF bombed the building in Oklahoma City and our military intentionally killed women and children in Waco and now we know the Mossad and our government committed 9/11. If I have to list the tons of evidence then you aren't paying attention.
When the government murdered those people in Waco one million ciitzens should have converged on Waco and drawn and quartered every single one of those murderers. Then they should have gone after Clinton and Reno and done the same thing. You notice because we did nothing we got 9/11 one of the most serious crimes and destruction ever committed. In the end it probably will have killed 20,000 and 50 billion in damage.
Not one politician spoke out after Oklahoma City, Waco or 9/11. We know the government planned all of them or were involved. So if American people aren't going to get made when they murder ciitzens, then they won't even think if you tell them about voting fraud and wars based on lies. Americans are going to do nothing. The smartest people in this country left after 9/11 and moved away forever and denounced their citizenship. They don't even have to think about this country anymore and our lying crooked government. They can relax in Switzerland or Argentina and don't even have to think about this disgusting, warmongering country anymore.

Candidate for Governor: William D. Hyder
Scotts Valley, CA
A coin collector for over 50 years and an ANA member for 45 years, I retired from the University of California in 2010 after 30 years of service, the last 15 as a senior academic manager responsible for 80+ staff and a budget of $20 million. In addition to my professional experience, I served as president of the American Rock Art Research Association, where I guided the national organizational to financial stability and a partnership with Arizona State University that has endured for the past 20 years.
Participation in the 1970 2nd annual ANA Summer Seminar helped develop my passion for numismatics with an interest in research, writing, education, and a lifelong commitment to the mission of the ANA. I have since authored or co-authored two books and dozens of articles published in The Numismatist, TAMS Journal, World Coins, ANA Journal and local club newsletters that received a first-place Heath Literary Award, two TAMS gold literary awards, two ANA Wayte and Olga Raymond Memorial Awards for research in U.S. numismatics, the 1981 TAMS gold Mishler Cataloging Award, and the 2012 NLG Best Token and Medal Book award.
My numismatic service includes positions as secretary and president of the Santa Barbara Coin Club; secretary and treasurer of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society; and webmaster and a director of the Token and Medal Society. I am currently serving as the Web Subcommittee Chair of the ANA Technical Advisory Committee.
My goals include:
1) Maintain the responsible financial management established in the past few years.
2) Expand efforts to personalize the value of ANA membership for collectors through more staff participation in regional and large local coin shows.
3) Dedicate resources to continue development of the ANA website and e-commerce services for ANA members and the coin collecting community in general.
4) Develop social media services to bring collectors together in online communities as a benefit to ANA members.
5) Encourage the growth of ANA membership by leveraging Library and Museum resources to facilitate greater digital access to and use of the Association's numismatic assets for members.
Please vote.

Are you looking for a fun way to get some exercise this winter? We have the perfect idea for you! On Saturday, January 19 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge would like to invite you to join us for a snowshoe hike. This snowshoe program is free and open to the public of all ages and experience levels. Snowshoes in adult and children's sizes are provided by the Refuge at no cost, or you can bring your own.

Daily Iowegian
Business Communications (as of 2/27/13):
Hydra Pools: The pool liner department has been installing the last couple machines and should be ready to begin liner production very soon.
Shark Fin Shears: An application has been submitted to IEDA for Economic Development Set Aside monies for a forgivable loan; to be reviewed by the state in early March. It is anticipated that a new 6,000-8,000 square-foot building will be built on two acres in the industrial park and Shark Fin Shears will hire 15 new people over the next three years. It is hoped that construction can begin in April.
Jef-Scot Metal Industries: Since 2009, when they began their expansion, Jef-Scot Metal has nearly quadrupled their annual sales, and have increased their local annual payroll by over $500,000. They also have plans to move additional business here from their Kansas facility as soon as later this year.
AEDC annual banquet: The 2013 AEDC banquet is March 28 at Honey Creek Resort beginning with social time at 5 p.m. and things getting started around 5:45 p.m. I am pleased to announce the keynote speaker will be Debi Durham, Iowa Economic Development Authority director. Tickets will be $25 each and reservation information will be released soon. If any questions, contact the AEDC office at (641) 856-3388.
RLF loan program: I has visited with three RLF loan candidates and anticipates completed applications from each of them for the RLF review committee to review in March. A new loan was closed in January that served as a down payment for an entrepreneur to purchase a building to expand their business.
EB5 Regional Center: Faris has been working with a group for over a year to create a new option for financing large development projects in southern Iowa and northern Missouri. These projects may range from $3.5 million to well over $10 million and this financing will either provide supplemental financing to conventional loans at banks, or in some instances, this may provide the majority of financing of the project. We hope to have an application submitted to the federal government in March. It is our hope that having this tool will give us an advantage in attracting more businesses to southeast Iowa, and particularly Appanoose County. I participated in seven conference calls in regard to EB5 efforts in the past month, in addition to communicating with legislators.
Iowegian news: Two articles in the Progress Edition of the Iowegian: Sustainable Economies Program progress and employment growth in the county.
Sustainable Economies program: Meetings continue among the four committees working on projects in the following areas: Appanoose County Marketing, Financial Education, Leadership Development and Natural Resources. The Leadership Committee began a leadership class Feb. 21 for the public that will last a few months, and had about 30 participants at the first session. The Natural Resources committee is looking seriously into city-wide trash pickup (talked to City Council Feb. 18) and a "wayfarer signage" project (signage throughout the community that informs visitors where points of interest are. Centerville is on the list for an ISU design class to begin working on this in the fall. The Marketing Committee is working on the web site and social media marketing (Golden Shovel), and wayfarer signage. The Financial Education committee just met again and has added more participants. They are looking into some innovative educational tools that volunteers can bring to the local school districts to teach elementary kids about finances. The CIRAS staff will be available to Centerville for at least a year through this process.
AEDC membership: AEDC is in the midst of their annual membership drive. I have many businesses, organizations and individuals who invest in AEDC annually which enables me to continue the work of enhancing the county's economy full time. AEDC is continually working to grow the current membership. Contact the AEDC office if interested in becoming more involved.
AEDC web site: I made presentations to the City Council and Board of Supervisors to discuss partnering together to hire Golden Shovel to create new web sites for all three of our organizations that would work in concert with one another. Golden Shovel specifically works in the economic development arena by creating web sites for ED organizations, cities, counties and chambers of commerce. Golden Shovel will create new web sites for AEDC, the city, and the county, and will also manage the web sites and a social media program. Both the city and county are considering partnering with AEDC in this effort.
Chariton Valley Regional Housing Trust: Construction on the new house was anticipated to begin March 4 at 1113 S. 15th St. Many local professionals are coming together on this project, some volunteering time and expertise. Three home improvement projects were approved in January; however Appanoose County is not accepting any more applications until later in the year. We will continue with the "paint project" primarily in the smaller communities that surround Centerville. Also, we have specific plans in place to demolish/remove four homes in Centerville in the next couple months.
Public appearances and meetings: I attended Rotary regularly, Opportunity Squared Regional Development meeting in Ottumwa, AEDC membership annual meeting at Continental Hotel, three Chariton Valley Regional Housing Trust Fund meetings, ACCF Board meeting, Iowa Community Development Advisory Board meeting, KTVO TV interview, Chamber of Commerce annual banquet at the Manhattan, Skilled Workforce meeting in Des Moines, meeting with Tom Bentley at Honey Creek Resort, two Centerville City Council meetings, Appanoose County Board of Supervisors meeting, Sen. Grassley Town meeting at Court House, Kaffee Klatch at Continental at St. Josephs. Also, so far in 2013, I have visited with 11 entrepreneurs looking to expand their businesses or start a new one.

I am originally from St. Paul, Minnesota but I have been living in New York since 1997. Writing has always come very easily to me and I am very excited to be writing for Patch! Other than writing, I love live music, photography, reading and eating. I believe nothing in the world can compare to a live concert, and music is definitely my favorite thing to write about.

Sorry to report that for budget reasons, the Tam Hill Climb probably isn't happening this year. Not the race budget, that's just fine...the CA budget is the problem. CA State Parks isn't issuing any special use permits for events during the rest of the year. In fact, it sounds possible the park is about to shut down entirely. Not for good, of course, but at least for as long as it takes for the budget to pass and money to flow again. And even then - part of the proposed budget fix for CA involves the temporary shut-down or reduction in staffing at a bunch of CA state parks, so we can't be certain that special-use permits will be issued for September even when a budget passes.
Without that permit, the race just can't happen - it covers Ridgecrest and the finish line area, and there's no path up Tam that doesn't cross through the CA Parks jurisdiction. So unless the state budget mess gets cleared up soon, and Tam is spared, there won't be a Hill Climb this year.
I'm reminded of some years ago when a friend and I planned a trip to run the Grand Canyon. We were in a motel in Williams AZ the night before and the TV news was all about the federal government shut-down, because they couldn't pass a budget. The local angle was that GC National Park was closed. What? It was inspiring to vote out the boneheads in office who couldn't do something as basic as pass a budget.

Twas a sad day yesterday as I was moving my big SRS's into the new bachelor pad with a buddy. They are much heavier than I remembered then being and we discovered while moving them from the old house that sliding them down the stairs (Carpeted. Eased them down.) on their back was the way to go. The first speaker went fine but the second one didn't have all of the binding post caps screwed down so a couple of them extended out the back beyond the plane of the speaker backing. One post broke off and the other just bent enough to crack the mounting plate.
I think I can remove the plate and posts and fix the crack. I was wondering what you guys thought of these Dayton binding posts as replacements:
I've been using the Dayton speaker cable banana plugs and like them mechanically and thought I'd try their binding posts unless someone's experience dictates that this is a bad idea. :) Thanks.
