My expertise is in US, but I have a lot of exposure to worldwide, and with wide reference material, I will do what I can to answer questions about global stamps. In US I have extensive experience in all aspects (does include Administrative overprints for Cuba, China, Puerto Rico etc.). Also, Hawaii general issue and Revenue (pre-statehood). Of course still building knowledge but have been collecting since 1980. Air Mail is a favorite area, but not a limitation.

Well, we had a great day in the turkey woods. The weather cooperated. It was cool, in the 40s but no rain so we were very thankful for that.
The woods was beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife, hawks, owls all kinds of small birds, squirrels and rabbits but no turkeys.
That just means we have another day to hunt and I can't think of a better thing to do in the fall.
I hope all of you out there hunting have a great season and enjoy the day.
P.S. We'll be back at 'em on Monday.

Roche and Precision System Sciences sign agreement to develop and manufacture fully automated emulsion PCRs for the former's NGS platforms
Singapore: Roche and Precision System Sciences (PSS), have signed exclusive agreement to develop and manufacture a fully automated emulsion PCR instrument for Roche's portfolio of next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. It is intended to support Roche's GS Junior and GS FLX+ systems as well as the sequencing platforms that Roche is currently developing.
Until now, upfront preparation of genomic samples has been a time-consuming and complicated manual process within the sequencing workflow. The new instrument will be designed to streamline the sample preparation workflow by automating the entire emulsion PCR process thereby reducing the total hands-on time from several hours to a few minutes.
"This partnership aims to address one of the key needs of sequencing customers," said Mr Dan Zabrowski, Head of Roche Applied Science. "The automated solution will not only improve the efficiency of laboratory workflows, but also increase the reproducibility of results by eliminating manual workload. This development program has made great progress over the last year, and we are looking forward to working with PSS because they offer outstanding expertise and have a strong track record in developing fully automated solutions."
"We are delighted that PSS and Roche are expanding their long-standing relationship in automated DNA extraction to the challenging field of DNA sequencing," said Hideji Tajima, president of PSS. "Preparing samples for sequencing is a complex, high-skill process that continues to hamper broader use of the technology. We believe that together PSS and Roche will be able to develop an automated instrument that helps overcome this obstacle and promote greater use of advanced sequencing systems."
The agreement builds on a long-term reciprocal relationship between Roche and PSS. The two companies first started to collaborate on automated DNA extraction fifteen years ago, a partnership that resulted in the successful development and marketing of nucleic acid purification products.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare
I loved Alan Wake.
Maybe it's because I overdosed on Stephen King as a kid and have always had a particular penchant for that whole fiction-becomes-fact thing (if only to keep alive the dream that one day, McDreamy is gonna step out of my TV and into my arms), but Remedy's novel approach to storytelling -- whilst not flawless by any means -- was nonetheless one of my favourite gaming experiences of 2010.
It sold modestly well -- 4.5 million, give or take -- and fostered a passionate fan following. Unfortunately, despite having specifically carved a story meant be shared across several titles, Alan has yet to make his comeback.
In a detailed interview with Polygon, Remedy's creative director and head writer Sam Lake acknowledged that from the "get-go", the assumption was that Alan Wake would indeed return.
"Near the end of Alan Wake, we were sitting down and talking about the sequel and where we should be taking it, on a detailed level," said Lake. "More or less straight from getting Alan Wake shipped, we were working on a sequel and planning on a sequel."
"In many ways, we see the universe as a bigger thing. Alan Wake is a very central character, but we have other characters around him like [friend and agent Barry Wheeler] and his wife Alice and Sheriff Sarah Breaker and other characters there. We feel this is a big universe to develop and explore in many ways."
The team didn't merely plan it's next steps, however. The studio got as far as crafting a full prototype for the sequel, a "mood piece" demonstrating "the high-level thematic elements of what's there."
Last year, however, Lake admitted that the time wasn't right for the sequel, and whatever plans had been in motion had now been abandoned. Already committed to Quantum Break, any attempts to press on with Wake "wouldn't have been the sequel that Alan Wake deserves to get."
So: does the public release of Alan Wake 2 prototype (available at Polygon) signal the death of sequel plans?
Well, no -- not necessarily.
"We are living in Quantum Break land and enjoying ourselves," Lake said. "But at the same time we are in a place where we are starting to look into the future and starting to have discussions about what is next."
"Among other things," he continued, "we are discussing the possibility of an Alan Wake sequel with multiple partners, but nothing has been decided."
"The thing that made this idea of releasing this prototype demo OK is that it is very much on a high level," Lake added. "There are no spoilers in it. That being said, I do hope we get an opportunity to work on Alan Wake 2. I want to do more Wake at some point."
He's not the only one.... read more

Not a slam at Chesapeakes... honest.
It's just that they are the minority at FT/HT. And Labradors WAAAY out-number Chessies when the ribbons are handed out. So, using liberal reasoning, every lab that makes it to the end has to surrender some of their points to any Chessie who's running. And if it's a very famous and successful lab, say a FC or AFC... they have to surrender at least 35% of their points. They'll be at the top of the "point tax" bracket. And... O my... any lab that's an NFC/NAFC they would have to pay a millionaire's tax. Just trying to be fair.
Maybe Goldens could be considered like Asians. A minority, yeah. But we don't really care about them cause they are not a reliable constituency and they seem to do OK without the extra help.

Beyond the Scary Statistic: Real People and Places Impacted by Ocean Acidification
Posted On November 18, 2013 by Julia Roberson
There's another big story out today about ocean acidification. Scientists are saying acidification could increase by 170 percent by 2100; another headline reads "ocean acidification set to spiral out of control." These stories are from a new report released today at the climate talks happening this week in Warsaw, Poland. Big numbers, big meetings. But are there stories behind these scary headlines?
Let's break it down:
- The report says that the ocean is already 26 percent more acidic than it was prior to the Industrial Revolution. So what? Well, this increase in acidity has resulted in major losses at oyster farms, particularly in the Northwest. Taylor Shellfish and Whiskey Creek Hatchery had losses of up to 80 percent at their operations, before scientists figured out it was ocean acidification that made baby oysters (scientists would correct me and call it larvae) unable to grow their shells.

Head east out of Jerusalem through the Judean Desert to visit Qumran, where the famed Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Modern scholarship places a community of Essenes at this site, and it is possible that John the Baptist spent some time with the community here.
Drive along the shore of the Dead Sea, to the oasis at Ein Gedi, where David hid from King Saul, and you can hike to a desert waterfall.
In the afternoon, take the cable-car to the top of Massada, scene of the epic stand by Jewish rebels at the end of the great revolt against Rome nearly 2,000 years ago. The new museum at the visitor's center reveals the secrets of the daily life of the rebels, the story of the excavations, and how the site became one of Israel's most important symbols.
Enjoy a healthful and relaxing dip in the Dead Sea, the lowest, saltiest body of water on earth, before returning to Jerusalem.

ExOne (XONE) was down 3.4% on news it will offer 2,656,000 common shares.
After the bell Wednesday, the 3D printing machines firm made the announcement, noting that 1,106,000 of the shares will be sold by the company and 1,550,000 will be sold by shareholders.
FBR Capital Markets & Co. is acting as the book-running manager.
In its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ExOne said it plans to use the proceeds to "finance future acquisitions or partnerships and alliances." At its current price, the offering would fetch a little less than $75 million.
It's worth noting that its 3D printing rivals have been busy buying up other companies. 3D Systems (DDD) bough the U.K.-based firm CRDM earlier this month, while Stratasys (SSYS) is bought MakerBot in June.
The stock tumbled hard on August 13 after its guidance missed analysts' expectations.

As a 1959 New York Times profile of AARP founder Ethel Percy Andrus noted, she had a favorite bit of advice to people who dreaded retirement: Don't. Andrus practiced what she preached.
Slideshow: AARP Champions of Aging
After retiring from her position as a Los Angeles high school principal in 1944, the award-winning educator began a second career that ultimately had a far bigger impact on society. She became an activist and organizer on behalf of other retirees and older Americans, fighting to improve their financial security, their health care and other services that they need.
Andrus was born in San Francisco but spent her early life in Chicago, where her father, George, moved the family while he studied law. After earning an undergraduate degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago in 1903, Andrus began teaching. Her father, whom she once described as "a man who believed everyone should do good somewhere," had instilled that credo in his daughter as well, and so the young woman ventured out of her upscale Chicago neighborhood in search of a suitable mission.
In those days, the city where Andrus lived was a prime destination for impoverished, uneducated immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe, who came in search of jobs in the city's meatpacking plants, steel mills and railroads. These newcomers often were cruelly exploited, forced to work long hours for low wages and to live in crowded, unsanitary slums — a plight vividly depicted in Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel, The Jungle.
In an effort to improve conditions for that underclass, progressive activists such as Jane Addams founded settlement houses, where immigrant families could obtain social services and education. The idealistic Andrus joined that movement, teaching school during the day and spending her evenings and weekends working at Addams' famous Hull House and the Chicago Commons.
Andrus moved back to California with her family in 1910, where she taught at Santa Paula High School and the Manual Arts High School (her subjects included English and German). In 1916, at age 32, she was appointed principal of Eastern High School (later renamed Abraham Lincoln High School), becoming California's first-ever female high school principal.
At Lincoln, an inner-city school with a large, ethnically diverse student body, Andrus worked to raise academic standards, and started the Junior Coordinating Council, an outreach program that put students to work in the community, serving as volunteer nurses' aides and running errands for older shut-ins. She even sometimes broke up street fights between boys, and regularly went to court to plead for a second chance for some. "While there, I invited the policemen into the school to serve as big brothers," she once told an interviewer. "And they did."
The red-haired, bespectacled, soft-spoken Andrus was an iconoclast in an era of stern, authoritarian male principals. "She was the greatest principal, so nice and caring," one of her former students told the Los Angeles Times in 2003. "She would talk to us about anything. No one was afraid to walk up to her and ask a question."
Andrus also found time to worry about the plight of some of her retired faculty, who were penniless and struggling to make ends meet. In 1927, Andrus organized the Foundation to Assist California Teachers, and raised funds to start a retirement home in Inglewood and another in Pasadena.

The fund, which helps restore and preserve endangered world heritage centers around the globe, announced its choice to include the "Old Gesher" site in its list of 100 selected locations worldwide during a recent press conference in New York.
The "Old Gesher" is located near the Jordan River, and has 2 historic sites that have been damaged in the past and require restoration. One of them is an ancient bridge, whose base was built during the Roman Byzantine era, and built over later, during the Crusader and Mamluks eras (the 12th century A.D.). In May 1958, the Israel Defense Force in order to stall the Arab invasion into the newly established State of Israel. Since, the condition of the bridge deteriorated, and it might collapse.
The second site is the Mamluks Han (a roadside inn), built during the 14th century on the ancient road that used to cross the Jordan River. The Han controlled an important passage and provided services for the caravans that passed through it. In 1837, the Han was destroyed in an earthquake that struck the region, and over the years it was covered by the marlstone soil. Following the declaration, these two sites will be included in a select list of worldwide endangered heritage locations for the purpose of raising money for their restoration.
In addition to these sites, the area has a few additional attractions such as the Turkish railway bridge that was used by the Muslim pilgrim caravans on their way to Mecca between 1905 and 1948, a road that was paved by the British authorities and served the bus route between Jordan and Israel, as well as a promenade built along a part of the bank of the Jordan River leading to an observation point overlooking the ancient bridges.
The place also has an audio-visual display, telling the story of the hydroelectric plant that was powered by the water of the Jordan and Yarmouk Rivers, giving light to the towns and villages of the area in the beginning of the 20th century, as well as a hike that follows the trail of the pioneers, living in the Kibbutz nearby.

General Store: Ammo sales up 280%
SPOKANE, Wash. - Gun owners across the country are standing up for their Second Amendment rights by taking part in the first ever Gun Appreciation Day.
Organizers of the national movement say Saturday is a time to focus on defending gun rights.
Locally, gun owners stocked up on ammunition and learned more about what it means to be a responsible owner.General Store: Ammo sales up 280%
At the General Store, there were no signs proclaiming it's Gun Appreciation Day, but it was clear from the ammo shelf a movement is underway.
John Evans, General Manager of the sporting goods store said ammo sales are up 280-percent over last year.
"Most people come in looking for .223 ammunition," Evans said.
"But we are selling a lot of everything else as well. 7.62 we're out of most of the common stuff the inexpensive stuff, even the handgun ammo," Evans said.
Evans said people are stocking up on ammo because there is so much uncertainty regarding gun control.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, President Obama proposes universal background checks and banning assault weapons.
"Most of the people that are coming in buying because of those people, they're going, people are going to hoard it, so we need to get it so we can use our target shooting ammunition," Evans added.
At Sharp Shooting Indoor Range and Gun Shop, owner Robin Ball spent the afternoon educating people about concealed weapons permits and pending state and federal legislation.
In North Idaho, hundreds of people also attended a pro-gun rally.

Home>Collection>The Taking of Christ, 1602 >David and Goliath by Orazio Gentileschi.
Oil on canvas, 185.5 x 136 cmPurchased, 1936NGI.980
Gentileschi's real surname was Lomi. His father was a goldsmith, and his elder brother Aurelio was a painter of fair ability. He went to Rome at the age of 17, and his early works were in the late mannerist style. From the beginning of the new century, after his encounter with Caravaggio, he turned to naturalism. David and Goliath is a rare example of this early change. The composition is strongly three-dimensional and in part still reflects Gentileschi's mannerist education, but the action is expressed in a new, dramatic and realistic way. The figures are sharply lit from above, creating distinct contrasts of chiaroscuro, even if the artist preferred to use softly blended colours.The biblical subject of this picture became particularly popular after the Tridentine Council, as a symbol of the triumph of true Faith over Heresy, and was widely used by Caravaggio's followers.In the 1620s Gentileschi moved first to France and later to England, where he became court painter to King Charles I.
The Taking of Christ
The Taking of Christ was painted by Caravaggio for the Roman Marquis Ciriaco Mattei at the end of 1602, when he was at the height of his fame.

Honthorst had been a pupil of the Utrecht history painter Abraham Bloemart, and subsequently travelled to Rome where he absorbed the work of Caravaggio and his followers.

Less-Toxic Product Choices
how to choose consumer products wisely to avoid toxic chemicals
Teflon chemicals. Phthalates. PBDEs.
How are these chemicals getting into our bodies, and how can we reduce our exposure?
Many of the consumer products we use every day contain toxic chemicals that we found in the bodies of participants in the Pollution in People study. These chemicals leach out of products and get into our air, water, food, and bodies.
The choices we make about the products in our homes can make a difference. Also, some responsible companies are reducing or eliminating toxic additives in their products. Click on the links below to learn more about safer product choices.
Getting Toxics Out of Food and Consumer Products
Making good choices about food and products to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals is important, but it's only part of the solution.
Please consider taking action to help establish policies that keep toxic chemicals out of consumer products. Learn how here!

About Laminate Flooring
At Bestlaminate, we understand that warranties are an important part of the laminate floor purchasing experience. We've set up our site so that you can search by warranty offerings among our best rated laminate floors.
Additional Factors to Consider When Choosing Laminate Flooring Warranties
Laminate flooring comes with a variety of warranties. Be sure to read the specific warranty information for each particular laminate floor. Depending on the area you will be installing laminate flooring in, this will often determine what type of warranty you need.
Often, the best rated laminate floors will feature a Residential 10 Year, 15 Year, 20 Year, or Lifetime Warranty. It is up to you, the consumer, to understand what the warranty fully entails.
As with all flooring, it is very important that your laminate flooring is installed correctly.
For any warranty to be in effect, all the necessary steps needs to be followed when it comes to proper installation. Read the manufacturer's instructions before you begin the installation process, to avoid any confusion. 30-21 Year and 40-31 Year warranties are also fairly common.
If you anticipate your space will be very active, you may want to consider these extensive warranties. Offering superb wear and durability is what you will find in these top rated laminate floors. For Commercial Spaces, both a Light Commercial and a Heavy Commercial Warranty are offered. If you are in an extremely high traffic area, a Heavy Commercial Warranty is necessary. Light Commercial Warranties work well in small office areas, whereas a Heavy Commercial Warranty would be necessary in schools.

Does anyone know anything, the last update was on June 2, I thought for sure they'd be up by now.
It's cool they are upgrading but I'd have my consultant's head if he took this long to do a server move.

In Search Of...Miss Wisconsin
Meet Onalaska's Kate Gorman as she preps for the Miss America Competition
LA CROSSE, Wis. - "It was the most surreal moment."
Kate Gorman's recollection of the moment she was crowned Miss Wisconsin is still a little fuzzy. "I don't remember this but I just dropped to the ground and had to take it in."
After all, she didn't grow up dreaming of being a beauty queen. "I was staring at college with no way to pay for it."
At 18 years old in 2007 she decided to give the Miss Onalaska pageant a try. "I went into it just hoping to gain some interview skills, gain some scholarship dollars. And to just push myself. And I ended up winning. From that moment on I was hooked. I was bitten by the pageant bug."
Her next title came In 2011 when Kate joined the Oktoberfest royal family as Miss La Crosse. "It's amazing how God puts people into your life. I was blessed with a new family at the hardest time of my life."
"I won Miss La Crosse Oktoberfest and the night of the Festmasters ball my cousin found out she had stage four breast cancer."18099936
Her cousin Elizabeth Melde was spotlighted on News 8 before she lost her battle on Easter of last year. A loss that is still so painful today. "My family, We miss her so much. She was that one percent of people. She lived life differently. And you knew it from the moment you met her. She had so much strength. Honestly we witnessed how one woman can motivate and entire community to live better. Her legacy will always live on."
On top of that emotional pain, Kate has also had to deal with a physical one as well that almost cost her the Miss Wisconsin title. "Six weeks before the competition I was practicing my dance and I went up for a side leap and severely injured my hip. And found out I had torn the labrum in my hip. So I had to drastically dumb down my tap routine. What I had to do was give everything I had. I left in on the stage. Yes I was in pain - but I did it."
But she couldn't do it any more, at least not without surgery. "And there just frankly wasn't enough time to recover."
But to compete in the Miss America pageant you have to showcase a talent and unable to dance, she shifted her focus to singing. "There's so many instances in life when it give you lemons and you make lemonade. We faces the music in a great way. I also love singing too, it's just a fear that I've had to overcome. Completely switching gears four months before the biggest job interview in my life is kind of scary. I can't wait to showcase my talent on the Miss America stage."
It's been a bit of a whirlwind in the 7 months she's been crowned. "My job as Miss Wisconsin is to travel four to five days a week and fulfill my public appearances."
Which includes promoting her platform of 'Taking a healthy bite out of childhood hunger.' "And then my other job is to prepare for the Miss America contest."
And that is a full time job in itself. Each week she does a mock interview to prepare for the questions she might be asked. Then there's The talent prep, the countless dress fittings, not to mention getting her body ready for the swimsuit competition. "I feel better than I've ever felt. I feel strong, healthy, but I'm nervous to display that to the world."
But whether Kate walks away with the title or not, the truth is she feels like she already won. "There's no lose in this situation. Whether I get the title of Miss America or not, it's been amazing. It's been a ride. I am so blessed to be in this position. I never imagined I'd get here and it's been such a blessing."

Jedi News posted a rumor list for several lines. It includes figures that have already been revealed and looks to be from an official Hasbro document. I've put the newly listed items in bold.
The Black Series 3.75" Range
#20 Ep3 Darth Vader (Star Destroyer)
#21 Ep5 Luke Jedi Training (Dagobah)
#22 Ep5 Yoda Yedi Training (Dagobah)
#23 Ep5 Toryn Farr (Hoth)
#24 Ep5 Snowtrooper Commander (Hoth)
#25 Ep5 Wedge (Snowtrooper) (new head/helmet)
R5 Droid
Ep6 Sgt. Doallyn
Ep6 Ree Yees
Ep5 Hoth Luke "Wampa Attack" (new head)
Ep5 Hoth Han Solo's "Search For Luke"
Ep5 Darth Vader "Yoda's Test" (new head)
The Black Series 6" Range
#09 Ep4 Stormtrooper
#10 Ep3 Obi-Wan Kenobi
#11 Ep5 Luke Bespin
#12 Ep3 Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader)
#13 Ep4 Chewbacca
EpII Clone Trooper
Ep6 Darth Vader
Ep6 Luke Jedi
Saga Legends
15 Ep1 Darth Maul
16 Ep5 Snowtrooper (Hoth)
Mission Series Figures
01 Zeb & Stromtrooper
02 Rebels C-3PO & R2-D2
03 EpV Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker (Bespin) Refresh
04 EpII Yoda & Darth Sidious (Refresh)
05 EpV Boba Fett & Stormtrooper
Sgt. Doallyn would be awesome, but I'd prefer Brock Starsher first (the white-suited guy from the skiff battle with the same helmet) since Bane Malar scratches many of the Doallyn itches. But updates to Hoth Luke and Han to include alternate heads from their recent figures would be great Luke needs the scarf, and Han needs to have his hood up when riding the Tauntaun.
The next 6" figures sound great as well, with two potentially huge figures coming via Vader and Chewie.
Hopefully the Mission Series Boba and Stormtrooper is just a repack of the Saga Legends figures since those are proving difficult to find (for now, anyway).

text: Went to a new area the day before yesterday with a friend. We arrived about a half hour before daylight and started walking parallel to a creek that had some likely looking trees near it. One blow on the owl call and gobblers went crazy. There at least nine different birds gobbling, the farthest was maybe 300 yards away. We picked one of the closest and easiest to set up on and got into position. I made a couple quiet tree calls and four gobblers started hammering away. We sat in silence for what seemed like days until I finally heard the bird we were after fly down. I called to him again and he answered. I could hear him gobbling getting closer until he was within 50 yards but hidden by some brush. All of sudden he started walking away from us gobbling as he walked. We got up and found a road headed in the general direction of where he was going and ran ahead of him. We stopped maybe 100 yards ahead of him and a little south of the direction it sounded like he was traveling. I called again and he answered and started our way. At about 75 yards he hung up again just out of sight and stayed there for a half hour. I looked to our left with my binoculars and noticed an old weed covered road headed in the direction I was hearing him. Again, we got up and as quietly as possible snuck close to the intersection of the two roads. I figured he didn't want to come through the brush, and hoped he would come up that old road. We sat down again and I clucked a couple times and purred a time or two. Just as I hoped he started up the road. Within one minute he was in full view at 25 to 30 yards in full strutt. I made one little cluck on the call and he stopped strutting. The results are in the photo. We didn't have a scale but his beard was 9 1/2 inches long with spurs 1 1/8 and 1 5/8 inches. It's been two days since the hunt and my pulse is just now starting to get back to normal.

California Grabs $96.4 Million in First Round of Online Sales Tax Collection
Tiffany Kaiser
February 20, 2013 7:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: csmonitor.com)
This amount is strictly for the September-December 2012 quarter
Some U.S. states -- like California -- are starting to see new revenue from
sales tax on internet purchases
from the likes of Amazon.
The California Board of Equalization said it made $96.4 million in sales tax on internet commerce from September-December 2012, which is the first full quarter that the state started collecting. This is good news for the California Department of Finance, which has a forecast budget goal of $107 million in new e-taxes for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2012.
While these numbers look great for the state of California, they're a bit off from the estimates provided by a 2009 University of Tennessee study that said California would make $1.9 billion in 2012 revenue if it collected online sales tax. It also said states would miss out on $11.4 billion in 2012 revenue nationwide if they failed to collect online sales tax.
As of right now, Amazon collects sales tax in nine states (including California) and will collect in seven more over the next year.
Georgia is one the most recent to collect online sales tax. Amazon started collecting sales tax in Texas in July 2012, and California and Pennsylvania in September 2012.
Amazon has been fighting states that force it to collect sales tax for years (except in Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota and Washington). The e-tailer fled many states that attempted to force tax collection on the company, such as
and Illinois. But between states looking for ways to offset large financial deficits and brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy complaining about Amazon being unfair competition, the issue swelled.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said many times that his company would agree to collect taxes if there were some sort of federal legislation.
But eventually, Amazon finally broke down and started collecting sales tax in certain states, which allowed it to build more distribution centers within those states. For instance, Amazon announced that it would
collect sales tax in New Jersey
last May so that two Amazon distribution centers could be built. This led to faster shipping for customers, such as
Amazon's same-day delivery
program, making it more competitive than ever.
But earlier this month, Amazon and Overstock.com challenged a New York law passed in 2008, which forces companies with affiliates within the state to collect sales tax. However, Amazon said
this law is unconstitutional
because a 1992 Supreme Court decision said retailers that don't have a nexus of operation in a state does not need to collect sales tax. While New York said that websites with purchase buttons for Amazon as well as other national retailers are local solicitors because they receive fees for doing so, Amazon said argued that web referrals are less like solicitors or a local sales force and are more like advertising.
"I modded down, down, down, and the flames went higher." -- Sven Olsen

#LATISM, a Culture of Health Experiment
Sep 26, 2013, 8:19 PM, Posted by Christine Nieves
Latinos in Tech and Social Media, better known as LATISM, is a movement that I had heard about, but not yet experienced. That all changed on Sept. 21 and 22, when I joined hundreds and hundreds of Latinos from around the nation at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan for the 5th annual LATISM conference. The focus: business, health, tech, education and advocacy.
For me, it all started six months ago. Andres Henriquez from the National Science Foundation, Rob Torres from the Gates Foundation, and I had a fortuitous encounter in Washington, D.C., as members of the Aprendiendo Juntos "Learning Together" Council. Aprendiendo Juntos Council is a multi-sector group of researchers, practitioners, and policy experts who seek to identify new models and practical strategies to improve educational outcomes for Hispanic-Latino families through the wise deployment of digital technologies. After sharing our concern for underrepresentation of high-quality Latino candidates for philanthropic funding in our respective organizations, we concluded that we wanted to demystify philanthropy. So we embarked on an experiment. What if we could talk about our trajectory–from hardship to philanthropy–with an audience of digital movers and shakers?
And that's what we did over the September weekend. It was an engaging conversation with Latinos–working in technology, business, education and advocacy–who are ultimately committed to making their communities healthier and stronger. This conversation is just the beginning, and a great way to test my pet-hypothesis: That we will find the opportunity to share a Culture of Health in the places we least expect to find it.

Excessive amount of urination means that your body makes larger than normal amounts of urine each day.
An excessive volume of urination for an adult is more than 2.5 liters of urine per day. However, this can vary depending on how much water you drink and what your total body water is.
Polyuria is a fairly common symptom. People often notice the problem when they have to get up during the night to use the bathroom (nocturia).
Some common causes of the problems are:
Less common causes include:
Also, your urine production may increase for 24 hours after having tests that involve injecting a special dye (contrast medium) into your vein during imaging tests such as a CT scan or an MRI scan.
To monitor your urine output, keep a daily record of the following:
Call your doctor if you have excessive urination over several days, and it is not explained by medicines you take or drinking more fluids.
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions such as:
Tests that may be done include:

Its a pre season game for god sake. Teams make up game plans according to their needs, not according to the oppositions strength and weaknesses. How many times have we seen a team go undefeated in pre season and then stink it up in regular season, and vice versa? The Jags beat the SB Champs Giants for god sake.

In the early years of modernism and functionalism, during the 1930s and 40s, pioneers like Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck led the development of the Iittala brand. Their belief was that objects should always be designed with a thought, essential and above all, available to all. It was their thinking that set the foundation for the Iittala design philosophy – to push the boundaries and to give people beauty and function.
Iittala strives to create icons that will last a lifetime. What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, now celebrates generations of essential objects that are made to enrich people's everyday lives. More than just beautiful objects, Iittala creates timeless designs that will never be thrown away.
Alfredo Häberli was born in 1964 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied industrial design in Switzerland. Today, he is a well-known international designer based in Zurich. In his designs, Häberli successfully combines tradition and renewal. There is joy and energy in his designs.
The human being is the starting point of Häberli's design process. His objects and structures are designed to be used. He is unprejudiced and inventive in his observation of the actual situation in which an object is used and does not create form for the sake of it.
Based on his insights, Häberli designs changes to the archetypes of objects that have developed through the times, which makes the everyday objects around people fit this time and the situation they are used in precisely.View other products by Alfredo Haberli

A rare treasure awaits antiquities lovers just a short drive from the heart of the city of Petah Tikva in central Israel: a Roman mausoleum, amazingly intact and graced with a magnificent temple-like façade.
The mausoleum is located along road 444 near the turnoff to Kibbutz Elad, and is one of the most impressive and best preserved Roman buildings in Israel. What is now a picturesque secondary road was in Roman times part of the famed Via Maris–– the Way of the Sea, which was the country's main north-south highway. According to the style of the building and the remnants of two sarcophagi (stone coffins) in the main chamber, archaeologists conclude that it was built in the third century CE for a Roman VIP and his wife, although their identities remain a mystery. Another chamber contains a dovecote with about 60 "pigeonholes" where doves were raised for sacrifice to Aphrodite. Around the building are water cisterns and other stone-hewn graves. In later antiquity, the Muslims added a prayer niche in the southern wall, and dedicated the site to Nebi Yahya, associated by local tradition with John the Baptist. Thus, due to its sanctity, the building was preserved through the ages.

I'll flat-our say it, Obama is a liar!
Here is his quote from the article....
Obama repeated his demand for action, telling ABC News "the federal government will go bankrupt" if the health care bill fails. He said Medicare and Medicaid are on an "unsustainable" path if no action is taken.
end quote
Obama is going to use the failure of his Health Care Bill as a diversion to his over-spending. It is all the wasteful spending that Obama is and has signed off on that will cause our bankruptcy! Yes, Pres. Bush over-spent but Obama's spending makes Bush look like Scrooge Jr.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
There is a phycological name applied to this kind of behavior,,,maby Jeff would know
Where you set you words and actions up so if you fail the blame goes to someone else,, Obama spends a large part of his speaches throwing in little inuendo's as to try to make other people responsible for the out come of his actions. he has wove an obvious web of deception for all to see.
he does this constantly and probably doesnt even realize it.
Poor guy I feel sorry for him
I feel much worse for the country and its people than I do its President...he WANTED the job, now he's got it....
Buy your ticket and take your chances regards,
Obama states if the health care bill is not passed the feds will go banckrupt,,,,so if this fails it is the fault of all who oppose it and that caused this bankrupcy,,,,,,,not the trillions borrowed and gambled and given away to cronies,,,,
this guys way to transparent,,,who are those that cant see through him
Currently, through Medicare and Medicaid, we guarantee financial access to health care for the elderly, the poor, and certain classes of the disabled. The Federal government, including the military, guarantee financial access to medical services through employee and military health programs. The costs of those service are increasing at 2-3 times the rate of growth in the economy. Businesses have been seeing similar or higher increases. These have been financed in several ways: jobs have been shipped to other countries where employers do not have responsibility for health insurance, costs have been transferred to employees by increasing their share of premiums, increasing deductibles and coinsurance, and by eliminating coverage altogether (the percentage of private sector employees covered by insurance has been drifting lower for several years and is now about 60%).
The typical Republican response has been to argue for "reducing entitlements" which translates into cutbacks in eligibility and coverage under Medicare and Medicaid. To put it crudely, this is a strategy that rations medical care based on age and income so that the aged and poor can die off more quickly and at lower cost to the younger and wealthier taxpayers. In addition, Republicans have argued that the "free market", if left to its own devices, will solve the problem of increasing costs. Personally, I find that strategy of killing off the old and poor morally unacceptable. While the free market might do a good job of regulating costs, we do not have a free market now and will not have one as long as almost all health care costs are paid through insurance programs. The decisions on health care consumption are made in two places: by consumers deciding when to seek care, and by physicians deciding what services to provide to their patients. Neither the consumers nor the physicians have a direct financial interest in the overwhelming bulk of the decisions made. As a result, cost is not a factor in the decisions and the results are economically irrational.
Obama and the Democrats have argued that, as a matter of justice, that essential medical care, including preventive care, should not be rationed based on ability to pay. I agree with that and recognize that many disagree. Obama has also argued that the "cost curve" must be moved as part of any health program extending coverage -- meaning that the program must provide incentives for reducing the cost of care over time.
Of course, the primary losers from such cuts will be the same groups that were the primary beneficiaries of rapid increases in coverage under Medicare with a virtual absence of controls: manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment and supplies, and benefit management companies. While Medicare has been cutting real compensation for physicians constantly over the last 10-20 years, the pharmaceutical and medical supply industries have had a free ride on the shoulders of the taxpayer. Using lofty phrases such as "patients should receive the best medications without regard to cost", pharmaceutical companies have established programs that will refund deductibles charged by insurance companies for non-generic drugs to make the cost to the consumer equal. For a drug such as Lipitor, this is a strategy for survival since 90% of the patients using Lipitor would be equally well served by the generic Simvastatin which costs 70% less.
The $50 billion/year savings anticipated in Medicare are simply predicated on allowing Medicare to negotiate the prices paid (reversing restrictions imposed by Republicans when the Medicare drug plan was adopted) and reversing a multi-billion dollar subsidy included in Medicare for benefit management companies by the Bush administration.
I actually believe that the health care proposals on the table do not go far enough. They need to provide virtually universal coverage. They need to get the employer out of the business of financing health insurance so that American businesses can be competitive without moving all jobs out of our country. And they need to incorporate even more actions to control not just the amount spent by the programs, but the actual cost of health care.
I believe any program adopted now that provides for greatly expanded coverage will ultimately evolve to eliminate coverage gaps and that our reluctance to increase taxes will ultimately result in more cost controls focused on the cost of care rather than on rationing who gets care. As a consequence, I am not too worried about having a "perfect" plan at the beginning. There is no such thing. I do believe that if we do nothing, that this issue will not be addressed again in any substantive form for at least a decade because of the political costs involved. For that reason, I hope that Democrats do whatever is needed to adopt a plan, including overriding Senate rules to permit a simple majority vote.
Jeff Goodwin

19 years non parole
The NZ Herald reports:
Joel Loffley has been sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 19 years for the murder of baby JJ in Auckland.
The child was subjected to months of torture that included being forced to smoke cannabis, and died after being struck so hard in the stomach that his liver and pancreas split in half.
To me this seems a suitable case for life with no parole. 19 years non-parole is one of the longer non-parole minimums handed out. But it just still seems inadequate.

Two Killed in Louisa County Crash
Posted By News On @ 4:25 pm In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Two men were killed Saturday night in a car accident in Louisa County. The Iowa State Patrol identified the victims as 22 year old Jacob Haines of Mt. Pleasant and 17 year old Darby Gilbert of Libertyville. They say Haines was driving his car southbound on County Road W66 when he lost control and hit a culvert. The ISP says the vehicle then vaulted over the roadway and entered a farm area where it struck a barn.

Emacs24 vs. GDB fail
I upgraded to Emacs 24, and interaction with GDB 7.4 (in "gud" mode) failed. It seems to be fixed after I enter "set interactive-mode on" in gdb. (It took an unusually long time to find that.) There doesn't seem to be a command-line flag for it. I don't see an obvious way to get emacs to feed it that command line, without hacking. I suppose I could put it in a gdb startup script, conditional on "mi" mode, but I'd rather they just fix it.
Isn't Btrfs ("butterfish") supposed to be close to ready for serious use? I had to drop it because I was getting kernel oopses for very workaday disk writes.
I have been buying used Thinkpads on craigslist.net. Experiences have been mixed, but thinkpads are very fixable. A friend has a service collecting scrap metal and hates to melt down equipment that people need the way it is -- big electric motors, stainless-steel fixtures, collectible rarities, but he hasn't had any way for those people who need the stuff to tell him so. I got a laptop and set it up for him so he can put the stuff on craigslist and, eventually, ebay, and quadruple his income. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well a Wheezy install handles his bluetooth phone/camera, and wifi, and a Sony camera via USB. It's funny, though, how a six-year-old ATI radeon "gallium" X1300 is only just getting 3D acceleration support in the 3.4 kernel.
As part of a new wave of setting up laptops for newbies, I have been exposed to Gnome 3. Thank <deity> for Mate and Cinnamon. (Sorry, Xfce, I tried hard to like you.) The Gnome crew could have avoided all the unpleasantness by forking, themselves, and handing off Gnome 2 to a responsible party. On the other hand, if they had the good sense to do that, they might have had the good sense not to ruin Gnome in the first place, and then the fork might not have been needed at all.
I saw that "liberal vs. conservative software engineering" rant. It's BS. We use loose languages for small, short-lived, ill-specified, performance-insensitive, non-critical and/or one-maintainer projects -- i.e., nearly all projects. We use strict languages and processes for "the rest", the 1% that demand serious engineering, and as much attention as the rest combined. An engineer moves freely between those spheres, using a loose language where it suffices. What that guy calls "liberal programmers" are just people who gravitate to the former, and like to imagine that it constitutes all projects. Maintaining a project that should have been seriously engineered because it ranks among "the rest", but wasn't, is a special hell that I almost wish on that guy.
I got Minecraft working on my son's Debian setup. It was annoyingly but very familiarly niggly, like all Java programs: I had to use Oracle's own JRE, none other would do. I might get some "mods" working, one of these weeks.
The Seagate in my two-year-old laptop began making terrifying cries and grinding noises this weekend. Luckily, it settled down long enough to image.
