I have come across many different scenarios where the invoice would have been on time had we done something different on the front line. I would have to say that 80% of past due invoices are due to errors made from the company you work for. Twenty percent are probably due to lack of responsibility from the customer or cash flow problems. I am only referring to business to business collections. Collecting from individuals is a whole different area.
You can decrease your DSO by catching the mistakes before the customer is even invoiced. You can also reduce costs by having to make less long distance phone calls.
Hard Copy Purchase Orders
Most companies will pay you within your terms if the invoice is accurate and matches their purchase order.
Hard copy Purchase Orders are so very important to get on file when you are selling to the government, hospitals, and other large companies. I guarantee that when you call their Accounts Payable Department to look for payment status on the invoice you will hear them ask for their coinciding purchase order number. Many companies will not even be able to look up your invoice until they receive that information from you. One problem that will stop you from getting paid is if your invoice doesn't match their purchase order. Make sure to have your Customer Service Department check over all orders carefully as they are entering them.
They need to check the following:
1. Is the PO# you entered on the order the same as what is on the customer's purchase order?
2. Do the dollar amounts match with each line item?
3. Most agencies have a corporate office that the invoices need to be mailed to. Is the bill to address on the invoice the same as the billing information on the PO?
4. There are certain specifications for adding tax and freight. In most cases this is noted right on the PO.
5. Are the payment terms on the purchase order the same as yours? If not be sure to go back to the company and ask if that can be changed. This needs to be done before the order is entered. Once you accept the PO terms you are subject to them.
There are orders you will receive in which the customer may not issue purchase orders. In most cases they will have you mail the invoice to their attention. They then issue a check request to their Accounting Department. Just be careful when taking these orders. It could be someone calling to place an order that does not have authority to do it. It could end up being a case where you may never get paid at all.
Here are some other tips for collecting that you might find handy at your job.
The Internet is a very useful tool for collecting from customers. Just about every entity has a webpage. I am usually able to find useful contact information from their site.
Send past due notices on colored paper. It grabs a person's attention better than plain white paper does.
Make a courtesy call on larger invoices before they are due. I usually state that I just wanted to make sure they received the invoice and that I realize it has not come due yet. It is better to find out as soon as possible if there are issues related to the invoice or that they did not actually receive the invoice. Specially on invoices that are over $20,000.00.
Try to have the customers sign up to pay through EFT or ACH. You receive your payments quicker and you don't have to worry about checks getting lost in the mail.
Make sure to note on your invoices if you accept credit cards. Credit card payments are becoming a more popular way of making payments.
Send along a copy of a Proof of Delivery with your invoice. This is specially handy when you have companies that are slow to show the product as received in their system.
I would really have to say though that keeping an eye on detail and accuracy is really the most helpful tool you have to getting paid on time.

gall wasp
any of a group of wasps in the family Cynipidae (order Hymenoptera) that are notable for their ability to stimulate the growth of galls (tissue swellings) on plants. Some gall wasp species are gall inquilines, meaning they do not cause the formation of galls but inhabit those made by other insects. The overgrowth of tissue, or gall, presumably is caused by a substance secreted by the immature insect living within it.

Lexus ES Starting Problems
portlandchris Posts: 1
edited December 2013 in Lexus
I have a 2000 Es300 model lexus with about 99k miles on it.
About 2 years ago it got a new transmission.
Today I went to drive it and started slugishly, turning over for about 10 seconds before starting, when I went to my local welding store and came back out side the car did not start again.
Thinking this to be a battery / alternator problem I had the guys that work there use their jump start battery on the car, to no avail.
A few guys suggested it could be anything ranging from Fuses and Relays, the Solenoid, Spark Plugs, the fuel pump.
The check engine light has been on for a week or so now, but the only lexus dealership is 20 miles away.
If ya'll have any ideas that could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I realize it is hard to diagnose without better information from me, but this is all I have.
Thank you.

curtrdr60 Posts: 1the 94 lexus 300 we own, just got a new transmission, air conditioning motor, a battery and cables. It had been running fine until yesterday during my wife's lunch break when it would not turn over at all. Just nothing or click click click. When she called me to jump start the car as she left work, I could not even touch the lexus before she turned the key again to let me hear what it sounded like and boom it turned right over and started. She shut it off and cranked it again and it started again. She turned it off to shut her trunk, came back to her seat, turned the key and nothing. Just click click click. We let it sit while I went back to get the jumper cables after it sat about 3 minutes and just for fun I told her to try one last time before I tried to jump it and .... you guessed it, it started. We came home and parked it last night. What the heck could it be?
sean300 Posts: 41I have posted quite a bit in these forums regarding my es. Anyway, I have a hard time starting the car when it is rainy or damp outside. Sometimes I will use my automatic starter and the car will not turn over. When I cancel the auto start then start the car manually it will start for a few seconds then stall out. I have to turn the key and hold down the accelerator for 30-60 seconds then the idle holds up fine and the car stays running. Any suggestions would help, not sure if it is Idle valve, carbon buildup or coolant temp sensor.
kinley2 Posts: 1I pulled under my friend portaco the other night, parked and went in side to retrive her. Within 10mins I had her rounded up, out the door and landed in the passenger seat, now that was a feat in and of it self!
I inserted the key: normal.
Turned to ACC: normal.
Proceded through ON: normal.
Hello START: ABSOULTY NOTHING! All interior lights are bright as always, the radio was crystal clear however the car do not even make an attempt to turn over and start. Not one indicator light was advising me that there was an issue. The engine immobiliser system and the key were operating perfectly together. The battery is new, the starter and alternator were recentally given a thorough check up during one of the expensive scheduled maintence increments.
I tried start again.... dead silence. I called a friend who owns a dealership and had one of his guys transport my ES 300 on a flat bed wrecker about 7 miles back to my house. When they unloaded my car I decided to try and start it again.....PREFECTION, purrr like a kitten. I blurted a few obsentities and pulled into the my garage.
The next morning it started right up. I went into town parked, 15mins later returned to my drivers seat and once again NOTHING! It would not start for about 30mins and then out of the blue I turned the key.....PERFECTION!
For five days now it has been like rolling dice, will come or will it go. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I would like to seem INFORMED as well as ANGERED when I pull into the service area next week
It seems the hotter it is outside the harder the car is to start. Last July I had to press the starter 16 times before it would start. Many times it is 3 to 4 times, other times it will start up on the first try. When I take it to the dealer it always starts right up. Has anyone else had this problem? What was the remedy.
edouble1 Posts: 17Had two similar problems within the last 2-3 years.
First problem: It would turn over nicely, but would take a few minutes to start. When it did start, a lot of smoke out of the exhaust. The problem ended up being, if I remember correctly, a bad fuel preasure valve. The mechanic replaced it, and the problem was solved.
Second problem: Several times(not very often, thank goodness), the car would just die.....I mean die....as it was being driven. Sometimes, when we would try to start it...there would be absolutely nothing...as in power. CHECK YOUR BATTERY CABLES AND TERMINALS FOR COROSSION! There was a minimal amount of corrosion on the cable end. When I cleaned it off, the problem was solved. Use terminal grease also, as that keeps them, for the most part, corrosion-free.
bigdog Posts: 4I was having an air intake installed by a custom shop and in the process they have not been able to start the car in almost a week. The car is getting fuel, it has a brand new battery, but they tell me no spark to the plugs. They have tried replacing the coil pack and no luck. They will replace the ECM (part # JA1091) soon but have not yet done it.
Has anyone ever had trouble with the factory security system keeping the car from starting? Currently the security light on the dash isn't coming on. The key fob isn't locking or unlocking the doors either.
Do you know what to set the codes to if that could be the problem?
tikimaka Posts: 5This is a common problem on 97 - 01 ES and RX with V6. It's called the Idle Control Valve. My 97 ES will start up with no problems in the morning but if i turn off the engine, i'd have to give it gas to restart, otherwise it will start again but engine is unable to hold idle, and stall. There was posting on lexusownersclub.com on how to self clean but seems pretty laborious. Dealer cost is about $600.
My solution? Just step on the accelerator when staring the engine. Not worth $600; i could clean it myself but i'll probably screw something up.
ladyq2 Posts: 1I have a 2007 ES 350 that developed starting problems with one of the remote keys. I replaced the battery in the key and had no trouble starting my car for about a week. Now, the car will not start. Roadside assistance could not start it with a jump. I ended up having the car towed to the dealer. Has anyone had this difficulty?
andiamo924 Posts: 7Yes, yes, yes. Same problem. Car towed from my garage to Lexus an hour away.
They replaced the start push button. Got it back. Next day same thing. Back to Lexus and they've had it for a week now. Said it's because two fobs in the car. I told them when i brought in that I only have one in my pocketbook. I thought maybe something wrong with them. It did it at the dealers last week also when I brought it in.
It's a 2007 ES 350 only 24,000 miles on it. Bought it brand new. I can't believe they can't figure this out. They made me think I'm the only one with this problem. Even had a Lexus field tech looking at it. Whatever that means. It's been doing this on and off far apart when it happens for about a year. Always thought I was pushing the start button first and brake last. Nah, I don't think so. I'm glad I'm not crazy but now i have a car that's not dependable.
tkao Posts: 1My 1999 Lexus es300 recently have a problem: every time it gets started then right away dies. Does it happen to any one?
There's no problem to get it to start, but right away dies. If I keep adding gas, the engine will keep going, but as soon as I stopped my foot on gas pedal, right away it just dies. At first I thought it's battery problem, I replaced it with a brand new battery. After one day, same thing happened again. I had it towed to an auto repair shop. They change an air flow sensor for me for about $360 (they wouldn't give me the old parts, saying that I had to pay $40 for that, because they would send it to rebuild shop). After drove for one day, now same thing happened again. Can anybody give me some advice?
Has anyone been able to get a "fix" on the starting problems? Our 2007 ES350 has 26,000 miles and in the last six months began having problems. Replaced both key fob batteries. Have tried only one fob, leaving cell phones out of the car, no other keys, etc. Nothing seems to be identifiable as any electronic signal problem. Will attempt to start and it shuts off immediately. Usually after 6 or 7 attempts, the car will start and run just fine. When first starts up though, the auto a/c has shut itself down and the windshield heat control switch is flashing on and off. Thinking this may be a clue for the dealer, I have taken it to the dealer. They say nothing wrong and no computer messages are being recorded during the starting problems. Seem to me to be computer related. This morning when it did it, there was a strong catalitic comverter smell. Will relay that to the dealer the next time I take the car in. The dealer tries to tell us that we are the only people in all of Las Vegas having this problem. Hard to believe. This is our third Lexus and just may be our last. Any help or clues would be appreciated. :mad:

Idea for a Screenplay
Here's the story behind this: Narg had this dream of Keira. It involved Keira firing an Ak-47 out the window of a car while Narg drove it at blindly fast speeds. And today at work, I got pretty freaking bored, so I thought up a movie idea for his dream. Now, bear with me, I've never written a screenplay before, and the idea I came up with isn't overly original, but it could work, in my opinion. So...here is the general synopsis for our movie.
[INTRO] The film opens inside an elevator. The only occupant is a thin, but well-built man in a dark jacket and pants. This man walks to a door in the hallway, pulls a shotgun out of his jacket and blows off the hinges, then kicks down the door. The POV stays outside of the apartment, but we hear the man walk through the apartment, the screams of help from his victim, and the gunshots that end the victims life. The man walks out and leaves the building.
The man we have just seen is only referred to as Randen. He doesn't know who he is, what his main purpose in life is, or even why he's living. We wakes up every morning knowing who he has to kill for that day and that's all he cares about now. He's not a robot, a brainwashed drone mindlessly doing tasks some higher force has given him. He's as aware as you or I, he has just lost his will to care about the bigger picture. He has been doing this for years, it's now a routine. He wakes up, kills his target, comes home to his apartment, eats something, and then goes to sleep. When he wakes up his food and ammunition are replenished, and a new target has been planted in his mind. He lives this cycle, not caring what or who was providing him with this information and supplies. When theses events first started years ago he cared, he questioned it, and tried to break free, but it was little use. He always would awake in that apartment. A man who has lost the will to care about anything, or even to live. He has nothing to live for, but sees no point in wasting his own life, so he continues this cycle without thinking about what it all means.
This all changes when he hunts down a target named Tobias Sven. At the house of Tobias, he encounters a woman who seems to be hunting Tobias herself. Neither of them cares who actually kills Tobias just as long as Tobias dies. They team up to kill him and after the job is done, Randen questions the woman's identity. She confesses that she is not quite sure herself and describes her situation. Much to Randen's surprise, the woman is in the same situation he is in, and the find their way to a local diner to talk. The woman calls herself Kiren, and seems to question her current situation a lot more than Randen does. After a somewhat long discussion (which I won't talk about here because it's not necessary at this point) they decide to break out of the system together. They agree that tomorrow they will meet at the diner after they have eliminated their targets and find a way out of the city together. Randen returns to his apartment and goes to sleep without eating anything. In the morning, he gathers as much ammo as he can hold, and goes off to eliminate his next target. After doing so, he goes to the diner where he finds Kiren waiting. Realizing they have no actual money, Randen decides to pawn one of his guns. The pawnshop owner, however, reveals a troubling piece of information. The guns are syndicate issue. The pawnshop owner refuses to buy them for fear of being punished by the syndicates, and, after being questioned by Randen and Kiren, reveals that they belong to the Black Dragon syndicate.
Randen and Kiren make their way to the syndicate headquarters and proceed to shoot their way in (think Matrix Lobby scene). After a long gun battle with several body guards, they find the syndicate boss, who confirms their thoughts. They are assassins, their identities have been erased, and they work for the syndicate. The syndicate boss explains that the food provided for them contained some suppressants that kept them from rebelling. The boss admits that they have hundreds of such operatives around the city, and Randen proceeds to kill him. Randen and Kiren see reinforcements drive up to the building and make a dash for the armory. Their they stock up on weapons, and then make their way to the garage. They hop in a car (Narg had a specific car in mind, but I forget what it was.) and take off for the outskirts of the city. What proceeds is an all-out kick-ass car chase. About 10 or so syndicate cars are chasing Randen and Kiren through heavy city traffic. Randen is driving, while Kiren fires an AK-47 and grenades at the syndicate cars in pursuit. The men in the pursuing cars are armed with RPG's and grenade launchers, as well as an assortment of automatic weapons. As the cars swerve in and out of traffic, rockets, grenades and gunfire take out several car caught in the crossfire, as well as the sides of buildings, bridges, and anything else we can blow up. Eventually, only one syndicate car remains, and as Randen and Kiren approach the city limits the syndicate finally scores a hit on their car. After their car crashes, Randen drags Kiren's dying body out of the car. After exchanging a few words, Kiren dies in Randen's arms. By that time the syndicate men have made their way to Randen and, after seeing the pain in his face, shoot him. The final shot shows Randen dying body, with Kiren in his arms, amid a pile of rumble and destruction. The camera slowly rises higher and higher before tilting to reveal a blue sky. This final shot is set to the song "Blue" by Mai Yamane.
Now, a few facts:
1. Kiren will be played by Keira, of course.
2. I stole the ending directly from Cowboy Bebop, same song and everything. So I'm not even going to try to claim I made that up myself. However, the song fits the situation perfectly, and is just great overall.
3. The weakest part, in my opinion, is in fact the ending. I want both Randen and Kiren to die, but I couldn't think of a really poetic way for them to die.
4. I know it needs work, this is my rough draft of the plot. A full screenplay would take me a month or so to write, so I'm not going to work on that unless something interesting happens.

Tired of forking over hundreds of dollars on college textbooks each semester? Then, stop buying your books, and start renting them instead. Several websites now allow you to rent the textbooks that you need, and to return them when you're done. It's so easy, you'll wish you'd done it sooner.
How Textbook Renting Works
1. Pick the company that you'd like to order from. Options include:
2. Locate your textbooks on the rental site by title, author or ISBN.
3. Select how long you need to keep the books – a semester, a quarter, the summer.
4. Place your order, and wait for your books to arrive.
5. Use the textbooks for as long as you need them.
6. Then, log in to the rental site; print out a shipping label; and mail your books back.
Benefits of Renting Textbooks
- Cheaper than buying (sometimes as much as 90% less)
- No books to sell back at the end of the semester
- You get to skip the long lines at your college bookstore
Book Rental Tips
1. Prices vary from site to site, so do some comparison shopping before you place your order.
2. Need to hang on to your books for longer than expected? Just log in to the rental site to extend your rental period; and you're good to go.
3. Want to keep one of your books? Most rental companies will allow you to purchase your rental for the cover price, minus your rental fee.
4. Hate to lug around textbooks? Then, get a digital copy instead.
Book Rental Warnings
1. Avoid any company that charges a membership fee.
2. Not all rental companies guarantee that CD-ROMs and other supporting materials will arrive with your rental. If you need these materials, rent from a company that makes this guarantee.
3. Pay attention to shipping costs. Most companies charge to ship the books to you, but pick up the tab for return shipping.
4. Be sure to send your books back before your rental term expires, or you could face additional fees.
5. Don't mistreat your books, or you may find yourself paying to replace them.

You Know You're a Meathead When ...
Thou shalt consider tripe to be a breakfast food. Or duck's hearts or jellied calves' brains or any other variety of stomach-turning offal that goes pretty well on a slab of morning toast.
Thou shalt worship the great god Fergus. London chef Fergus Henderson's restaurant St. John's is the great mecca for Meatheads around the globe; his primer on "nose-to-tail eating," called The Whole Beast is their bible.
Thou shalt also worship the great god Batali. The most talented of the Meathead chefs is personally responsible for foisting dishes like the great Italian delicacy bollito misto ("boiled meats") on wary members of the culinary elite.
Thou shalt worship the pig. Meatheads are not picky about where they get their innards, but if they had to choose just one beast on which to practice nose-to-tail eating, it would be the sainted pig.
Thou shalt not distract the faithful from feeding. Classic Meathead restaurants (like St. John's or Momofuku Ssäm Bar) are stripped-down venues, with few knickknacks on the walls to distract diners from the task at hand, plus long communal tables that are presumably easy to hose down.
Thou shalt curse the soufflé. All classically trained chefs are indebted to the French, but you won't catch many Meatheads saying so. In Bill Buford's great Meathead treatise Heat, "Fagotty French" is Batali's pithy, oft-repeated summation of French cooking. — Adam Platt

In his first time through a lineup this year, Craig Stammen has allowed opponents to hit .172 off him. The second time through, it's .250. The third time, it's .415.
That's a trademark of a young pitcher. It's also why the Nationals are down 6-3 after six innings tonight.
Stammen was perfect through three, throwing strikes and working ahead. The Red Sox adjusted to him in the fourth, fifth and sixth, with David Ortiz hitting a three-run homer to put Boston ahead 3-1 in the fourth. Then there were three more hits in the sixth, and a two-run Jason Varitek homer in the sixth.
And while the Nats scored a couple in the sixth, they could have had more if Nick Johnson hadn't gotten Cristian Guzman into a rundown with none out in the sixth. Credit Guzman for prolonging the rundown long enough that Johnson got to second and Ryan Zimmerman to third, but it could be a 6-4 game if Johnson had driven in both runs and then scored on Josh Willingham's single.

Customized Sleeve for iPad Mini
Overall rating based on 84 reviews
Marilyn H – Verified Buyer
Exactly what I was looking for in a slim sleeve for my iPad Mini. The sleeve fits my iPad perfectly....not too big and not too small....very minimalist. It offers good protection from scratching and doesn't take up a lot of extra space....after all, this is an iPad Mini and I wanted to keep it compact. The iPad stays "put" when placed inside and does not slip out. I enjoyed being able to completely customize my sleeve and chose Barn Red with a grey interior because the bright color makes it easy for me to locate it. A great product!

What a great product! It's perfect for wanting to use my iPad Mini with no case, but still keep it protected when I carry it in my bag. The Mini fits perfectly in the sleeve (even with a smart cover), and it doesn't add any unnecessary weight. I also love the fact that I got to pick my colors and to top it off, I love that the bag was handmade. It makes it feel that much more special. Thanks!

Hissy fit – not to be confused with a throw-down or snit — is the real thing, doggone-it. Once the hissy fit has been put on the table, all bets are off. Now I've seen some good ones and I've even practiced a few, but I'm not there yet. It could happen, though.
Sometimes, I've noticed, a really good hissy fit is termed as bipolar. Of late, bipolar is sort of a catch-all word for bad behavior, unfortunately. However, a hissy fit is meticulously prepared and grandly presented — a real scheme for attention. Uh-huh. Bipolar is an unfortunate mental disease, I'm just saying, but they are both strikingly similar.
Oh, yes, the red face, a good foot stomp, slinging of arms and legs, smashed-up words (like screaming with a mouth full of banana) and tears, maybe real or maybe fake, are all required components of a real honest-to-goodness hissy fit. And you can't get good at it without a lot of practice. i'm just saying, again. I sure know several folks who are trying to be hissy fit experts – bet you do, too.
Hissy fits are blamed on the South – why not, most bad stuff is blamed on all of us located below the Mason-Dixon Line. The meaning of hissy fit, according to the Urban Dictionary: A sudden outburst of temper, often used to describe female anger at something trivial. Originally a regional term from the American South. Thought to originate from contraction of "hysterical fit." Really! Humph – so one must be a Southern woman to throw one? I beg to differ – ever watch "The View"?
I don't think the hissy fit is relegated only to women – ever listen to Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump? I believe either one could be certified to offer hissy fit lessons, if Roseanne Barr or Whoopi Goldberg doesn't beat them out in the hissy-fit competition. Oh, and I don't believe any of these hissy fit throwing folks claim to be Southerners. Sigh.
Could there be any benefits from hissy fits, other than, you know, getting your way or causing a stir? Perhaps a health benefit – after all the heart is pumping, the blood circulating, a great deal of physical exercise done, and at least, an attempt for clear thoughts. Hmm, something to think about. I wonder if anyone has ever measured the calories used when hissy fitting? What about the carbs? This could be a breakthrough for all of the chubby Southerners?
Why not call a hissy fit conference? We could have it in Armadillo County, Miss., down near the railroad tracks. Not too much going on down there these days – a carrying-on hissy fit conference could be good for the community. We would need some top-notch workshop facilitators to teach the top-of-the-heap hissy fit classes. Need to get the big names into the mix like Bill O'Reilly and that little Michelle Malkin – she's a go-getter of the first class. I think she and Bill would make excellent workshop teachers. Gotta get some movement going, if you know what I mean? Stir stuff up – like if there's not a mob, instigate one. Sounds like fun.
Moving forward with a hissy fit society – all fitter's have rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. You know freedom of speech and stuff like that. Hissy fit here; hissy fit there. Why not start a trend? Oh, wait a minute, it has already started. After all this is a political year.
Oops, I've stepped in it there …
On the world level, there are some amazingly talented hissy fit throwers. Let's see ... there's Kim Jong-un of North Korea, Bashar Hafez al-Assad of Syria, President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt, and, of course, Muqtada al-Sadr of Iraq. Any of these charmers could lead a hissy fit parade with great style. Did you notice there's not a Bubba among them?
I'm getting a headache; think I will move forward.
Thought to ponder: Imagine all of the hissy fit organizations and their members calmed down, just one day. Yes, just one day … peace would ascend the earth; the oceans would smile upon the sandy beaches; the North Pole would have a freeze; the blue skies would reign supreme; and gas would be only 59 cents a gallon.
But it might be sort of dull in a way. I mean the hissy fit throwers of the world keep things livened up and drug sales at a premium. Imagine one day without Valium sales – the drug companies would go broke. Sigh. There are problems with everything in this ole world.
There may be one answer to this hissy fit dilemma and I'm working on it. I think my work must be supported by a huge grant from the government. You know like the $700,000 grant written in 2010 that was awarded to the University of New Hampshire to study the methane emissions from dairy cows. The study concluded the cows emit most of their methane through belching. This was reported by Jonathan Karl of ABC World News, on Dec. 20, 2010. This is too good to make up, but I know gas when I hear it, see it, and smell it and this little nifty fact will only cost you a giggle.
My thinking … if a dairy cow study is worth $700,000 then a hissy fit study should qualify for at least $500,000 plus. I will need a luxury condo located on the Garden Isle of Kauai, Hawaii; a complete staff, limo and a full-time massage therapist; plus a few incidentals like a complete new wardrobe with shoes to match and weekly pedicures. Oh, and the nails, too. Don't forget the $10,000 per month pocket money.
Gotta run – lots to do along the hissy fit pathway. One hissy fit, two hissy fits, three hissy fits – it's all good. Uh-huh, never underestimate the power of a hissy fit!

Speedway Grand Prix: Poole Pirates skipper Darcy Ward boosts world title hopes with bumper Prague haul
Updated 9:08pm Saturday 31st May 2014 in Sport By Ned Payne
PIRATES star Darcy Ward climbed to third in the world championship standings after racking up 16 points in the Czech Grand Prix this evening.
The fast-gating Aussie is just a point behind Great Britain's Tai Woffinden - who triumphed at the Marketa Stadium in Prague - and Greg Hancock.
Ward secured five wins out of five in the heats before being eliminated in the first semi, a fate also suffered by Ringwood-based former Pirate Chris Holder.
Poole second-stringer and wild card Vaclav Milik did not progress beyond the heats.
Still nursing a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, Ward flew off the outside to win his opening race.
Point-less in heat four, Milik walked away unscathed following a spectacular smash with Jaroslaw Hampel in his second outing, the Czech scoring two points on the re-run.
In a heat eight that saw a grand final field line up, Ward shut the door on veteran Hancock early on and kept Nicki Pedersen at arm's length before taking the chequered flag.
The Queenslander notched up a third win from three with another gate and go success, but Milik slipped to the back after mixing it with Andreas Jonsson and Chris Harris early on.
Another stellar heat 13 line-up did not faze Ward one bit as he made a jet-propelled start and increased his points total to 12, despite early pressure from Woffinden.
Milik ended his night with two points after scoreless efforts in his final two rides, before Ward completed a clean sweep of heat wins after holding off Finnish Grand Prix winner Matej Zagar.
Ward nearly broke the tapes in the first semi-final and despite holding first in the re-run, was overhauled by Zagar on the back straight and then Pedersen a lap later, while Holder trailed at the rear.
Woffinden then took victory in the final ahead of Hancock, Zagar and Pedersen.

ST PETER'S CHURCH: The four-week season of Advent may be time enough to make our spiritual preparations for Christmas, and to open all the doors on our Advent calendars, but as the Christmas season unfolded at St Peter's it was clear that practical preparations for Christmas must have taken very much longer. For Christmas itself, the carol service has held on Sunday, the crib service on Christmas Eve, midnight holy communion to welcome the great event itself, and family communion on Christmas Day. Thanks must go to all the clergy for the enormous amount of time, prayer and thought they put into these events and to the vast army of laity who have similarly contributed to the preparations for our celebrations of Christ's coming into the world.

Excel Meridian Data Inc. had better success by using only Seagate Technology disk drives (Cheetah SAS and Barracuda ES SATA) in its SecurStor Astra ES, which allows users to mix SAS and SATA disk drives any way they want. Excel Meridian found Seagate's firmware does a better job handling error conditions that occur when mixing its SAS and SATA disk drives than other disk drive manufacturers' firmware.
Overland Storage's dual-controller Ultamus RAID 1200 supports disk drives from different manufacturers, but users need to follow best practices to minimize performance and interoperability problems. For instance, Overland Storage recommends users assign SATA disk drives to one controller and SAS disk drives to the other; when storage is assigned, you can look at which controller is presenting the storage to determine what the performance characteristics are on the volumes being presented.
Another best practice recommended by Overland is to install all of the SAS disk drives in the same vertical columns and all of the SATA drives in different vertical columns. Overland found that when users put SAS disk drives in rows across the array instead of columns and then create volume groups across these rows of disks, the combined rotational speed and shock of this group of SAS drives generates excessive vibration, which can affect the reliability of SATA drives in adjacent rows.
EqualLogic Inc. also supports SAS and SATA disk drives from multiple vendors within its
Most vendors expect to resolve most of the kinks related to mixing SAS and SATA in a single storage array by the end of this year. They anticipate that most of the current interoperability issues will resolve themselves as SAS protocols and firmware on disk drives and storage controllers matures.

Shava, Soul (2000) The use of indigenous plants as food by a rural community in the Eastern Cape : an educational exploration. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
at the use of plants as food reflects how humankind has fashioned nature. There has been a significant change in production patterns from hunter-gathering through subsistence agriculture to technologically advanced commercial agriculture with a subsequent reduction in the diversity of plants used as food. A parallel trend in consumption patterns has occurred, from home-based food processing for subsistence through small- scale production to large-scale industrial processing and the commodification of food. The overall result of such trends is a narrowing of the food resource base and an increasing reliance on processed foods at the expense of traditional diets, accompanied by increasing diet-related health risks. This research is an ethnographic case study on the use of indigenous food plants by the community of Tuku A village in the Eastern Cape using interviews and observations as the main data collecting strategies. A nutritional analysis of some wild food plants was also carried out. An inventory of more than 70 food plant species was compiled, with the knowledge of such plants found among both the elderly and the youth. The incorporation of this knowledge into education systems is recommended. Of the wild food plants documented, some were non-indigenous indicating the dynamic nature of indigenous knowledge. Some wild spinach were left to grow amongst cultivated food plants, hinting at some form of 'domestication' in process. This observation together with the observation that wild fruit trees were selectively conserved highlights the possibility of the continued use of wild food contributing to conservation of botanical diversity. Community use of indigenous food was found to be diminishing. Stigmatisation of indigenous food plants, urbanisation, formal education, changes in lifestyle, and media were some of the factors possibly influencing this dietary shift. The community made links between diet and health, which correspond to modern scientific knowledge, with modern diet being lamented for ill health. The nutritional analysis revealed that wild food plants do contain essential dietary nutrients, an area recommended for further research.

Tonawanda News — Whether for a traffic violations or a felony, those who have a date in the North Tonawanda City Court during the next several weeks will stand before a judge next door in the council chambers.
The temporary arrangement is due to a $48,000 state-funded courtroom makeover for what officials say will be the first of its kind in its decades-long history.
The venture was spearheaded after a review was conducted on the condition of the courtroom by the New York State Unified Court System's 8th Judicial District, according to District Executive Andrew Isenberg, who oversees court operations in the eight counties in Western New York.
"It's been many decades since work has been done in the court in the City of North Tonawanda," he said, adding that despite a tight budget the rehabilitation the project was given priority because of its condition. "It had a very dated feel."
Work began last week to add new flooring, window treatments, a renovated jury box, counsel tables for lawyers and public seating, while the 1970s-style wood paneling — plenty chic at the time but outdated by several decades now —already has been permanently removed.
Isenberg described the move as necessary and said making such renovations can bring a greater respect to the order of law with some evidence suggesting that courtroom rehabilitations can lower public outbursts.
"I'm not saying this is the Taj Mahal that we're putting together," he said. "But a courtroom that is modern, there's less of a chance of incidents that will give rise to security concerns. People are more respectful of the judge and the court staff. Take the city of Niagara Falls which built a brand new courthouse. The number of arrests inside of the court building has plummeted."
Whether that takes place or not in North Tonawanda, City Court Judge William R. Lewis said the switch to the council chambers should have little effect on the court proceedings, though a few minor difficulties may arise such as the shuffling of paperwork, a recording system and computers.

The biotechnology field is on the rise. Big things are to come.
Valuation already anticipates slow launch for Surfaxin (infant respiratory distress syndrome or RDS), but is missing the game changer development of Aerosurf (aerosolized inhalation, also for infant RDS, but avoids the intubation required for Surfaxin and all competition). Recent financing extends cash runwat through Surfaxin launch and aerosurf 2b studies in mid 15. Attractive target.
Lots of retail types seem to like playing with Discovery Labs, but after seven years of following the stock I can only recommend it to the traders who are watching the ticker from 7AM-7PM five days a week. Despite the Surfaxin asset, Discovery knows how to put you in the red and when it finally reverses downward momentum, the move never lasts long. And I mean minutes, not hours or days. It must suck to get on the computer at 9AM and find out that the gap up that made your trade profitable came and went an hour ago, and you're back underwater for the next six months.
Discovery has predictably retreated from the recent high after the latest "approval" of Surfaxin. Has it stabilized or will it dive below 2 again? My green thumbs on this stub always go negative, sometimes irretrievably. The next positive catalyst is likely to be the first commercial sale of Surfaxin, a psychological milestone but also the trigger that releases the final 20M tranche of debt financing from Deerfield if it occurs before the end of 2013. It seems like a no-brainer that Discovery would be able to sell one vial of Surfaxin over the next two and a half months, having received final FDA clearance. With this stock, however, logic and reason often lead to disaster and if the next move ends up being yet another below market dilutive financing, traders will have no one to blame but themselves.
Looks good
Felt it was a good time to close and re-open. Started adding back shares at 2.85 now that the dilution has arrived. This doesn't have the same speculative potential at these levels but I also don't feel that the risk is what it once was...they do have a product to sell now and other products in the pipeline to push along as well...
Climb on my little DSCO...Climb on!
Biotech watchlist
I think JNJ will buy this stock
likely fda approval, plenty of time for the company to get the manufacturing issue out of the way.
Completely speculative.
History always seems to repeats itself...
Riding out the storm till patent is approved or not.
Should go higher now that Porte has capitulated! Seems that small biotech has taken the interest of the big boys with recent increases in price and volume.
FDA approval of its major drug Surfaxin will push share price to at least 10.
DSCO has comeout with a positive outlook during the last couple of weeks. The trend looks to be positive since they have currently completed batch 1 of trials and are waiting to complete the remaining 3 batches which will be sufficient enough to fulfill the needs of the FDA. The outlook looks promising enough with the financials too since they have a positive cash flow and are ready to submit to the FDA in early third quarter. With all this components which adds up to a successful progression towards the completion of FDA needs and requirements. My Target will be $10 to $12 before the early fouth quarter and then rise upto to $25 to $35 after the approval. ( which will still be about a $1.7 to $2 before the reverse split. )

close to " yl" price this is a bargain price and undervalued.
This is a swing for the fences. Hope it goes up as they get closer to FDA decision. Do you hang on for the ride up or down after the decision comes? Only buy with money you can spare because this one could go either way.

"Most biotechs with a market cap under 50M are dubious or outright scam outfits with highly speculative pipelines or drug candidates that have failed late stage trials. However, there seems to be little argument regarding the efficacy or utility of Discovery's liquid surfactant Surfaxin. What has taken the share price deep into all-time lows is the repeated failure of the company to get Surfaxin approved by the FDA over the last five years. Time and again the share price has risen only to be slapped down after the FDA issued Complete Response after Complete Response, citing complicated issues related to manufacturing and controls. Meanwhile, the rest of the pipeline has struggled and the company has diluted again and again to balloon the share count to 200 million. In short, the stock deserves to be ailing. But the company unquestionably has the cash to submit Surfaxin for approval once again in Q1 2011 and await yet another FDA response, likely in Q3. Despite the exhaustion and capitulation that has brought the share price so low, there is a high likelihood that the share price will rise dramatically as investors start to wonder if maybe, just maybe, the company got it right this time."

The Daily Item
MILTON — The final resting places of a number of African-American residents will be marked, thanks to a committee of Miltonians dedicated to honoring those who came before them.
"These were contributing members to the welfare of the Milton community," said Carriann Shultz, chairwoman of the African American Memorial Committee. "There is no recognition of them, and since we now know that these graves are there, we should really honor them."
Research by Catherine Hastings, an associate professor of communications at Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, identified a number of African-American residents of Milton whose graves were unmarked, Shultz said.
"There were obituaries for people but no plot, no headstone and no indication of where they were," she said.
Further research brought to light the fact that a plot was purchased during the Civil War-era in the borough-owned Milton Cemetery, on Golf Course Road, to allow African-American residents of the community to bury their dead, said Milton Mayor Ed Nelson, who also is a member of the memorial committee.
"This plot was used for several burial sites that were unmarked and unnamed," he said.
Cemetery records were lost during the Milton fire of 1880, and many funeral home records were destroyed during the flood in 1936, according to information provided by the committee.
However, new technology allows researchers to confirm the existence of the burial plots. Ground-penetrating radar can be used to detect "physical and chemical changes in the ground related to the presence or absence of buried materials of interest can be measured and mapped," according to the University of Denver website, which uses GPR in its Department of Anthropology.
Using GPR, students at Susquehanna were able to locate the graves of 17 people along with two headstones, both belonging to African-American men.
After hearing Hastings present her research, Shultz and others in the community decided something had to be done to mark the resting places of those buried in the plot.
"It just seemed like the right thing to do if you knew about it," she said.
The committee is trying to raise $5,000 to construct a limestone and marble monument to mark the graves, Shultz said. The committee already has the stone and is looking for someone to construct the monument, she said.
"We won't move ahead until we have the funds," she said.
The committee hopes to have the project completed by the annual Harvest Festival in September, Shultz said.
Donations for the African-American Cemetery Memorial are tax-deductible and can be sent to: AACMP, c/o Milton Borough Office, 2 Filbert St., Milton, PA 17847.

The Board of Education and Bridgewater Township Council may be undecided about whether to move school board elections to November—but for the and the Raritan Borough Council, the answer is very clear.
Both groups are in favor of moving the elections from April to November.
"Simply stated, the B-REA is in favor of the move simply because it is what is best for the kids," said Steve Beatty, president of the B-REA. "Whatever other arugments that are made do not supersede that preeminent concern."
Gov. Chris Christie recently signed a bill to allow the elections to be moved. The decision can be made by the board of education, the municipal government or the voters through a petition signed by at least 15 percent of those registered to vote in the previous election.
Moving the election eliminates the vote for the school budget, which would only be held if the budget exceeds the 2 percent cap.
The , with some in favor of the move because it will allow for the administration to be fully in charge of the budget, while others are concerned it will make the elections too political if residents are voting for both the school board members and the members of the council at the same time.
But Beatty said the most important factor in this decision should be the fact that the budget will never be in danger of failing, creating the need for more money to be cut.
"To me, guaranteeing that a budget will never fail and be eviscerated by the town councils outweighs any other concern," he said.
Raritan Mayor Jo-Ann Liptak agreed, and said the runaround when the budget fails is just an "exercise in futility."
"When the budget was defeated [last], the councils went through a lot of angst and many meetings with the public, but the only thing they were allowed to do was make suggestions on what to cut," she said. "We could suggest to cut programs, but the district does not have to listen to us."
"Cuts could be made or not, and the worst-case scenario is the budget goes to the state, which says it is restoring everything," she added. "It's an exercise in futility."
Liptak said the borough council recently voted, 6-0, to move the elections to November.
But, Liptak said, nothing can be done without a positive vote from the Bridgewater Township Council. Because it is a regional school district, she said, there has to be a joint resolution from both entities before the elections can be changed.
Members of the and are expected to continue discussions at Monday evening's meeting. The council declined to take a vote on Thursday, saying they would like to see what the board of education itself decides.
The board of education is expected to continue discussions at its Feb. 14 meeting, with a decision to be made either that evening or at a special meeting Feb. 16 before the Feb. 17 deadline.
Liptak said there are several other benefits to moving the elections, not the least of which being the opportunity to save money.
"When you have a special election like the school board ones off a cycle, it's tremendously expensive for us to do that," she said. "Municipalities have to pay for opening the buildings and for people to oversee the voting."
In addition, Liptak said, she believes moving the elections to November will encourage more residents to participate, which could be especially helpful for Raritan residents, who only have one representative on the board of education.
Years ago, Liptak said, Raritan actually had two representatives on the board, but when the population dropped in the early 1990s, one of those seats was eliminated.
"No matter how large this town grows, we can never get that second seat back," she said. "So this change could get more of Raritan involved in the process. We might have more than one person running for that seat, and it might really develop the race."
But Liptak disregarded any concern that the school board race could become political if the elections were moved to November.
"They would be running on a different line, and I don't see this as a problem," she said. "A good board of education member does not align with a party, and we could see it working to the board's detriment if they did."
Instead, Liptak said, the move could be a positive step for Bridgewater and Raritan.
"It would probably make the elections a lot better," she said. "We have a very astute group of voters in Raritan. They are very saavy, and they research issues and ask the tough questions."

These are lovely blankets, although thinner than I expected. However, the twin size blankets, while plenty long, are not wide enough to tuck in. If you are looking for a throw type blanket, these are great.
This was exactly what I was looking for - bought the tan color - it is true to color - lightweight ans very soft. I was thinking of ordering another
We bought the pink, brown, green, blue and purple blankets for our kids beds. They fit both a twin and a full fairly well. There are remarkably soft and cuddly. We haven't had much of a pill or shedding problem so, we love them!
I bought this blanket in pink for my daughters bed and she LOVES it! It's very soft and washes up nicely!
Never stops! I purchased three and immediately washed them before using them with my kids. Oh my gosh!!! I removed three pounds of fluff from each blanket. Then washed them again to remove any lingering fluff. Mistake!!! More fluff... it's everywhere. When my kids use the blankets their clothes are covered in fluff. The size is fabulous and the colors are nice. Other than that, a big dud!
I bought the OCEAN color for my daughters birthday. Not only is the color a dirty dishwater gray but it also sheds like crazy. I have had to vacuum everywhere she sits or brushes up against. I thought washing would help but no dice. I am amazed at the amount of lint that this thing produces. Do not purchase it. I love shopping on Overstock and have had no trouble with my purchases up until this point..Sad day that I have to questions the products now.
I am buying plush blankets for my massage business so I need quality plush that is not too thin and can withstand many washes. I received the blanket today and was disappointed that it was not thicker than it is. It is a little on the thin side and does not feel like it's going to last very long. I was buying plush blankets at Marshall's but since it's the end of the season there aren't any left in the color I wanted so I thought I'd try one from here. So glad I only ordered one. This blanket is probably half as thick as the ones I was getting at Marshall's for $5 cheaper. I wouldn't order another one of these. For my needs, it is not a good match.
I was excited to receive my blanket. The color was perfect, and it is very soft. But it sheds--badly. I am using it on a chaise, and both the chaise and my clothes end up covered in fuzz. I have washed it twice, and that does not seemed to have helped at all. And now I am noticing that all my laundry has fuzz on it. Very frustrating.
Everything was covered with shedding fleece. It MUST be washed before using!
This blanket is nothing but LINT. Lint started coming off as soon as I took it out of the package. There is LINT all over my bed. There is LINT in my hair. There is LINT all over my carpet. And I mistakenly left my closet door open, so ... There is LINT all over my clothes This is just from having the blanket on my bed for less than an hour.

This article provides an overview of the issues involved in developing, using, and evaluating specific medication guidelines for patients with psychiatric disorders. The potential advantages and disadvantages, as well as the essential elements in the structure of algorithms, are illustrated by experience to date with the Texas Medication Algorithm Project, a public-academic collaboration. Phase 1 entailed assembling research findings on the efficacy of medications for schizophrenic, bipolar, and major depressive disorders. This knowledge was evaluated for its quality and relevance, integrated with expert clinical judgment as well as input by practicing clinicians, family advocates, and patients. Phase 1 (the design and development of the algorithms) was followed by a feasibility test (Phase 2). Phase 3 is an ongoing evaluation comparing the clinical and economic effects of using specific medication guidelines (algorithms) versus treatment as usual in public sector patients with severe and persistent mental illnesses.

The new photo viewing mode built into Google Earth 4.2 is best illustrated to date by the layer under Featured Content called Gigapxl Photos (see article or the video below). But, Google also introduced a mechanism for adding your photos into the Photo Viewer through the menu Add->Photos… (here is a brief tutorial from Google on how to do this). Underlying this new mode is a new KML 2.2 tag called <PhotoOverlay>. Google has just released detailed documentation on how to use the new <PhotoOverlay> tag and take full advantage of the features. Also added to the documentation is the interesting new <Camera> tag.
Here is a video showing the new Gigapxl Photos layer:
I also liked the innovative application of the PhotoOverlay someone developed at the Google Earth Community which used a transparent image showing the view of GE as if you were inside a helicopter. Story on the new KML documentation via Google's Using Google Earth blog.

News Release
Community Theatre of Terre Haute will stage auditions for its summer performance at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Titled "8: The Play," this readers-theater play is a peek inside the trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the federal court case for marriage of homosexual couples.
