Rep. Delaney Hopes Pfizer Anger Will Fuel Infrastructure Bill (Correction)
A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that 40 Senators support the proposed infrastructure bill from Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Michael Bennet (D-CO). This story has been corrected to reflect the fact that 13 senators support the legislation.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Anger over tax-driven megadeals has been reignited by Pfizer's
(PFE - Get Report) proposed acquisition of AstraZeneca
(AZN - Get Report), and Rep. John Delaney is hoping to harness that outrage to help build momentum for his trademark infrastructure legislation.
Delaney's proposal, the Partnership to Build America Act, allows U.S. companies to repatriate earnings stashed overseas tax free provided they use some of it to buy infrastructure bonds. The bonds, which pay a low interest rate over 50 years, pay for $750 billion in infrastructure with no increase in government spending.
Pfizer proposes to use overseas cash to pay for its AstraZeneca, a move that wouldn't be as attractive if it could bring the cash back to the U.S. tax free, Delaney argues.
"If they bring it back they only get 70 cents on the dollar so it basically gives them cheaper money to do a deal like this." Apart from his legislation, however, Delaney argues more comprehensive tax reform is needed. He favors moving to what he calls a modified territorial tax system that would allow U.S. companies to repatriate earnings once they have paid a minimal amount of tax in foreign jurisdictions. "I don't think we've got to match the lowest bidder in the world, but we shouldn't have these double taxes," Delaney says. Delaney claims 31 Democrats and 32 Republicans support his proposal in the House and as of last week 13 Senators supported a companion bill from Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) But liberal Democrats may be a tougher sell. Delaney told me in March he believes 10% to 15% of the 200 Democrats in the House believe that "what US corporations are doing...in terms of creating all this overseas cash is just fundamentally at some level evil. They're hiding money overseas and they're shifting jobs overseas which is why we're creating all this cash overseas and we should not be reforming this system to facilitate [money] flowing back. We should be applying a mandatory tax on all international earnings." Still, Delaney cited "some liberal people in the Senate who have been very outspoken like Chuck Schumer (D-NY) [who have] been very positive on the notion of using repatriation dollars to fund infrastructure like our bill."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Holy mother of god, they're all crazy.
The day after Labor Day, just as campaign season was entering its final frenzy, FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party organization, went into free fall. Richard K. Armey, the group's chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group's Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim was to seize control of the group and expel Armey's enemies: The gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks' top two employees off the premises, while Armey suspended several others who broke down in sobs at the news. The coup lasted all of six days. By Sept. 10, Armey was gone - with a promise of $8 million - and the five ousted employees were back. The force behind their return was Richard J. Stephenson, a reclusive Illinois millionaire who has exerted increasing control over one of Washington's most influential conservative grass-roots organizations.
Dick Armey walks into the Wingnut Welfare equivalent of NORAD, and he brings along an "aide" who's packing, and he walks out with eight million bucks? You do that at a Gas 'n Sip and walk out with $50 in quarters and you do 10 years. The rich are different from you and me. Many of them are morons.

The regulated phosphorylation of ribosomal protein (rp) S6 has attracted much attention since its discovery in 1974, yet its physiological role has remained obscure. To directly address this issue, we have established viable and fertile knock-in mice, whose rpS6 contains alanine substitutions at all five phosphorylatable serine residues (rpS6(P-/-)). Here we show that contrary to the widely accepted model, this mutation does not affect the translational control of TOP mRNAs. rpS6(P-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) display an increased rate of protein synthesis and accelerated cell division, and they are significantly smaller than rpS6(P+/+) MEFs. This small size reflects a growth defect, rather than a by-product of their faster cell division. Moreover, the size of rpS6(P-/-) MEFs, unlike wild-type MEFs, is not further decreased upon rapamycin treatment, implying that the rpS6 is a critical downstream effector of mTOR in regulation of cell size. The small cell phenotype is not confined to embryonal cells, as it also selectively characterizes pancreatic beta-cells in adult rpS6(P-/-) mice. These mice suffer from diminished levels of pancreatic insulin, hypoinsulinemia, and impaired glucose tolerance.

Well, it looks like I may have killed my Adenium plant. For some reason I watered it, maybe because the tips had turned brown and then other tips were starting to show green. It's very obvious the base is rotting. I'm not sure if it's totally going to die yet, but I'll most likely end up taking as many cuttings as possible to save it. It has no leaves, yes, but I still have some green tips. I have never propagated an Adenium but will probably try. This is your chance to get a cutting or two off a decent sized plant. It's more tall than multi-branched, just so you know. Just let me know if you are interested. I don't care so much about trades more than I do the cuttings having a good home, but I would be interested in anything along the lines of hardy palm seedlings, Colocasia/alocasia plants, Musa Basjoo, etc. I've had the plant for years and this is kind of sad. It has bloomed every summer for me. It likes our summers. |

Cal Crutchlow has joined the quartet of great MotoGP riders
When Cal Crutchlow finished second in the French Grand Prix on Sunday, he became an alien.
We have always spoken about this special breed of motorcyclists and that there were four aliens - Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi. I think we can now induct Cal into that group.
The four I mentioned are the people who are always at the front and he is now one of those guys.
He was extremely impressive on Sunday. He raced with a hairline fracture in his leg but it would not have affected him. He was beaten up for sure and a lot of people would probably still be in A&E but he is such a bulldog-spirited British rider.
A year ago he called himself the honey badger - an animal that is apparently fearless - and he has turned into this really strong, solid lad. He is not like a lot of the superstars out there, he has his feet firmly on the ground and he wrings the neck of whatever he is on and drags it home for a result.
He is definitely a more mature Cal than last year. What I see now is that he will go and finish second instead of pushing for first and crashing. I think he will also accept finishing fourth if he feels he is over the limit for third.
He is getting the points that are pushing him up in the championship standings, which is great to see. He is now fourth and ultimately points make prizes - it is no good laying in the gravel trap.
Crutchlow vs 'the aliens'
- Cal Crutchlow (2011-present): Races: 38. Wins: 0. Podiums: Three. Poles: 0
- Valentino Rossi (2002-present): Races: 188. Wins: 66. Podiums: 119. Poles: 45
- Casey Stoner (2006-2012): Races: 115. Wins: 38. Podiums: 69. Poles: 39
- Jorge Lorenzo (2008-present): Races: 89. Wins: 24. Podiums: 63. Poles: 27
- Dani Pedrosa (2006-present): Starts: 120. Wins: 24. Podiums: 74. Poles: 24
I am not saying he is a percentage man but he understands his limits and it takes a long while to do that. You often think your limits are further down the road than they are and more often than not you end up in hospital as a consequence.
He is out of contract at the end of the season and I think he is doing enough now for the factory teams to be seriously looking at what he is up to. He did far better than nine-times world champion Rossi on Sunday.
Yamaha, Ducati and maybe Suzuki are coming back and he has to be at the top of the list. Cal wants to be on a factory bike and he is not bothered what it is.
There are two reasons for that. One is that a factory bike is tailored around the rider. He feels he deserves that and I agree with him, but I think he also wants the pay cheque that comes with it.
Sunday's race winner, Dani Pedrosa, had a faultless ride.
I backed him for the championship at the start of the year and he is now the complete package. He wasn't always, but he is now fast in the wet and the dry and this is his best chance for taking a championship.
The surprise form of his team-mate Marc Marquez means everyone on the grid, including Pedrosa, has had to step up another notch. I wish Casey Stoner was still here, because it would make the championship even better, but Marquez has replaced him admirably.
He finished third on Sunday and every time he keeps getting on that podium he has a better chance of winning that championship. He is still probably the fastest guy on the track - he just has to work on keeping himself consistent.
Finally, a tremendous win for Scott Redding in the Moto2 race capped a fantastic day for British motorcycling.
It was a very emotional ride for him because it is like a home grand prix in that his team is a French team. I think we have a lot to be proud about in motorcycling at the moment, I really do.

21st May 2013 - 10:39Fantastic racing and a great result from Cal, shame the BBC have again built coverage up for fans only to give it away to another channel. I am not sure that Cal would have done any better on a factory bike, look at Lorenzo and Rossi, but as to the whole Espargaro thing no deals have been done and Cal is on great form

21st May 2013 - 9:2952. Butler: Hayden won the championship back in 2006 and Dovi outscored Cal on the same bike by 218 points to 151. That's probably why they're on factory bikes. Spies is on a satellite bike like Cal. Marco would have been a shoe-in for Honda but for the tragedy at Sepang, and Cal will likewise get a factory ride in time. The pace is there, he just needs more consistency.

20th May 2013 - 22:1618.Dutchjimbo. Correction on Stoner no factory bike in 125 and 250. First year in Moto GP LCR Honda, first factory ride Ducati 4 years, 2 years Honda.
Comment number 52.
20th May 2013 - 19:25I think Cal could be as good as anyone if he was on a factory bike, even the Ducati. I can't understand why Poncharal would choose Espargaro over Crutchlow. Also why on earth do riders like Hayden, Spies and Dovi get given factory rides while Cal, and Marco before him, cannot get on a proper bike.
Comment number 51.
Mr Grump
20th May 2013 - 18:04What a fantastic and exciting time to watch Moto GP, just a shame the BBC ignore proper and decent coverage of Crutchlow's and Reddings achievements on the TV sports news Not a mention in their early bulletins this Monday morning. Get it on the agenda BBC.

After completly nerding out on Cat Morleys fish to sushi project I started to wonder what else could one make into sushi...
And ONE of the anwers is... Squid.
Thanks for inspiration Cat you rock.
I've done my best to create a template.
If you have any problems send me a message and I can email it to you.
You can also just alter/use the sushi-fish template by Cat Morley.
The body is a little thinner than her fish body and there's tentacles..
Cut out your templates and cut TWO of the squid body.
Place good sides together and stitch around the body leaving the "mouth" open.
Cut out two large circles in white.
With the small circle stencil place it on one of the large pieces and cut out.
Like so...
Cut out 6 tentacle arms and place one on the body good sides together.
Place your circle on the body over top the arm(s) and start stiching into place.
as you stitch around continue to add more arms.
Once sewn on it should look like this when you place it on the table..
Looking fishy... er squidy now eh?
Take your cut out green seaweed and place it good sides together and stich around.
Turn inside out.. add your bottom white piece and stich up the side with green thread.
And then add eyes!!
And enjoy.. just not with wasabi.

Seattle chamber-music fest returns in fine form
The 2013 Seattle Chamber Music Society Summer Festival opened with a high-quality program — Beethoven, Brahms, Enescu and Honegger — top musicians and an enthusiastic audience. It continues through July 26.
Special to The Seattle Times
Seattle Chamber Music Society Summer Festival
Through July 26 in Nordstrom Recital Hall, Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle; 7 p.m. recitals are free; 8 p.m. concerts are $15-$45 single ticket, $172-$516 for various multi-concert packages; $10 for July 13 family concert (206-283-8808 or www.seattlechambermusic.org).
Beautiful summery weather? Check.
Charming and urbane speech by festival director James Ehnes? Check.
Audience leaping to its feet and bellowing "Bravo!"? Check.
Yes, it's the annual Summer Festival of the Seattle Chamber Music Society, back for another month of high-level and intimate concerts in the Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya. This well-loved festival has survived a venue change and an apparently seamless transition in leadership, and its vital signs (artistic quality and ticket sales) are still excellent.
The happy opening-night crowd settled in for a program of Beethoven, Brahms and shorter works by Enescu and Honegger. The opener, Beethoven's early C Minor Piano Trio, featured the always-excellent violinist Ida Levin as first among equals, giving an assertive performance with her usual flair and fire. The pianist was the brilliant and artful Inon Barnatan, and David Requiro was the capable cellist (a bit too far in the background for an ideal balance). This familiar piano trio has seldom sounded so elegantly burnished.
Trumpet virtuoso Jens Lindemann appeared next, playing a pair of solo pieces (Honegger's "Intrada" and Enescu's "Légende") with pianist Andrew Armstrong. Formerly a member of the Canadian Brass and now an international soloist, Lindemann addressed the audience with an extended joke (first in German, then in heavily accented English, then dropping the accent), and briefly discussed the two works (both bravura concert pieces). Lindemann's technique proved spectacular, but there also were pitch problems, and a lot of the playing sounded more forceful than artistic. At one point, the stage was bathed in red lights, an odd counterpoint to the music.
It was the Brahms — the famous Clarinet Quintet (Op. 115) — that stole the show, with the clarinet wizard Ricardo Morales playing with almost miraculous delicacy. The melting beauty of his sound and the subtlety with which it was produced were beyond praise. Morales joined violinists James Ehnes and Stephen Rose, violist Rebecca Albers and cellist Brinton Smith for this performance. Morales' musical exchanges with Ehnes were exquisitely crafted.
Morales receded at times into the ensemble, emerging again to produce subtle arpeggios or a rising line that gradually emerged as a solo. His command of dynamics was matched by the four string players, and the quintet members sounded as if they had been playing together regularly for at least a decade. What a pleasure to hear a great work given its full due.
The festival's season, which continues on Monday (July 1), is dedicated to the memory of two recently deceased supporters who played vital roles in its history: the vibrant Arlene Wade, a founding board member, and the energetic Helen Gurvich, who launched the festival's endowment. Both will be greatly missed.

Really cute packaging, I got the 12 piece set with 2 of each scent. It's very light and subtle, not sticky or heavy at all. I like the bits of glitter and how it's not overwhelming, I like a natural look when going out so these are good for that. I also like that it doesn't taste bad, a lot of lip glosses taste nasty when I start to eat and get it in my mouth. But these don't taste like anything so that's nice. It actually seems to moisturize pretty well too.
I wish the scents were stronger though, I can barely smell them. =(

I got these today at WalMart and I used the peach one as soon as I got outta the store. It was very shiny, rolled on easily and tasted and smelled really good. The packaging is kinda flimsy (the carrying case thing is what I'm referring to) but the glosses themselves are your typical roll-on packages. I liked the peach one and so I'm hopeful to like the others. If not, they were dirt cheap and you get two of each flavor'. Cherry, strawberry, peach, grape and pineapple and maybe some others but I'm too lazy to go get them to look. Like I said, they're cheap and smell and taste good; dtaying power is kinda lousy though. But it's okay with me as I don't mind reapplying.

Being that its a dollar store product, I wasn't expecting anything great, but I do like it more then i thought I would, it smells good and makes your lips really glossy, but on the downside it wears off really quickly, but then again it is a dollar store brand.

These make me nostalgic, my fave being clear coconut. You can find them at the check out area of Walmart. They are super cute with adorable roll on tubes. Fun for younger girls, goes on clear! Great party favors too, they are very cheap! Fun gloss! Not your everyday go-to gloss though. Just something fun and cheap. They smell good too.

Given, this is dollar-store material, so i wasn't expecting a wonderful product anyways. Don't waste your dollar, there has GOT to be more things worth that dollar. I got orange, and it smelled like Fanta, but the products was heavy, not that glossy and shiny, and it leaked. NO WAY! not even a repurchase for a dollar!!

I have a question I can't seem to get answered. I have a Regency medium insert that's about 10 year old (good unit). It is about time to replace the fire brick (2"x4"x6") that lines the firebox. Here's the question "can I replace the firebrick with soapstone? And, if so, where do I find it since I'll have to get it costom cut to replace all the brick? I burn about 4 or 5 face cords per year.
Thanks in advance. Dan |

2013 and earlier - BMW 5 Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience
robert010 Posts: 5I am in CT and looking to buy a new 528XI with just steptronic and xenon in January.The MRSP with destination lists on BMW's webs site as $50,075.
I would appreciate any suggestions that forum members would be able to share about what price to expect. O should I seek to use one of the buying services (Amex, others?) in order to avoid a difficult negotiation (which I am never any good at ).
Or do people think I'm crazy and that I shoudl wait 9 months until the 2011 version of the XI is available in the fall?
Thanks in advance for your ideas and help. -
nsoltz Posts: 6Remember that in this market, add $180 for Training and $300 for MACO to the invoice prices on Edmunds. I just bought a 2010 535xi wagon from Pace in Mamaroneck (same ownership as Greenwich BMW). I paid invoice + Training + MACO + $1000. I suspect you might be able to get a 528xi for between $500-$1000 over invoice. Act by end of business today (Jan 4) and you can get the $2500 BMW rebate. Need to finance it for 36 mo @ 3.9% but you can pay it off in 4 months if you like. No prepayment penalty is assessed.
The 2011 "F10" looks terrific. But I would be somewhat concerned about buying an unproven new model. However, with the BMW 4yr/50K maintenance, I would risk it. I could not hold off because I wanted a wagon and who knows if or when BMW will import the new wagon.
I wouldn't use a buying service because I would much rather look carefully at vehciles.
There really doesn't have to be difficult negotiation. Tell your CA you want to work from invoice up. Mine immediately printed invoice and said his price was +$2500. I said that I knew that $1K was a fair profit on a wagon. He was able to accept. We negotiated a bit over the trade and the hardest negotiation was with the wife.
Took longer for the marital negotiations than with the dealer
She finally remembered something that her late father told me over 30 years ago: "If you want a car, just buy it."
Drove it home an hour later. -
robert010 Posts: 5Thank you very much nsoltz. That is tremendously useful info.
Was going to pay cash and did not think of the lease. What does the lease acquisition add to the costs so that one can access the $2,500 lease incentive on purchase? (I'd plan to pay it off in 4 months, as you suggested). -
dafreak1 Posts: 46Looking at a 2006 BMW 530xi with cold weather, premium and auto packages. It is a CPO car that I can get for $27,000. The problem that I see is that it has 55,000 miles. I am also looking at the same car with DVD Navigation System, Cold Weather Package, Heated Steering Wheel & Dual Heated Seats, Premium Sound Package, Premium Package, Automatic Steptronic and 40,000 miles that is not a CPO car for $28,000. Both carfax clean and one owner but the second one is not from a dealer.
Thoughts? -
jayrider Posts: 3,491You need to ask someone who has experience with bmw's. Independent service isn't too bad but repairs can be costly. Are you ok with possible big expenses to have a driving machine? May not have any problems but you need to be comfortable with the possibility. There are a lot of decent new/almost new cars you can buy for 28k. Decision is up to you. The risk of expensive repairs deter you if you really want the bmw. It is part of the package.
gardis Posts: 185Hi,
I ultimately bought from Greenwich BMW from a saleslady that was honest and straightforward. When she gave me the price, I believed her. I love the car I got (CPO 2007 530i, loaded). I would try them. I used the BMW USA website and did a search on the vehicles within a 50 mile radius of my town in CT. That' s how I found mine.
Also found Bridgeport BMW very active, they move a lot of cars, give them a shot also. I have mine serviced at Darien BMW because I always used them and have a good relationship with the service tech. Good luck,
Gardis -
robert010 Posts: 5Thanks for the ideas gardis.
Actually, an interesting coincidence, nsoltz had suggested he found what he wanted at Pace (which is same group as Greenwich and just into NY) so I went to Greenwich first (closer to home in CT), found a helpful salesperson and got a reasonable, up-front price for the car that I was looking for. So I just bought it on the spot and picked it up last week.
The help I got from this Forum has been sensational. Thanks to all.
Hope you enjoy your 530i. That's a nice car!

newfort Posts: 3I am trying to buy my first BMW and would appreciate some guidance and tips on landing a good deal. The car is advertised for $35,489 from a dealer and its certified.
It has the following:
25,835 miles, Cold Weather Package, Premium Package, Xenons, navigation system, automatic high beams and automatic transmission. It has extended warranty until end of 2013.
What is a good price to get this at? And is the extended maintenance plan worth it?
Thanks in advance!

phylp Posts: 49I bought a similarly equipped 2008 BMW 535i with about that mileage in Oct 2009 for $39,800, plus new tires, and other non-price concessions. I did check out 2008 528i pricing. By that time, the good ones I came across were in the $33k to $37K price range, with miles under 20K.
My two cents worth. -- It is even later along now. My "guess" is that the mileage and time factor should be worth at least a couple thousand dollars off the quoted price, especially if you are willing to walk away if they do not meet your price. If you offer $30K all they can say is no and maybe you can split the difference and wind up at $32.5K. Yes, I like to haggle.
Tip: After you test drive, negotiate online and via e-mail. That really helped me. I went back in to the dealer only after they were very close to my offered price, but got to the end of the day face-to-face. Made the process smoother. Good luck and please post how things go. -
dturr Posts: 70You are looking for the same vehicle as myself. I am in SW Florida but have not found the right color specification and price. Vehicles down here seem to be $2k more than those on the east coast of Florida !!
For a vehicle such as you describe with 30k miles I would write a check for $32k today if it was CPO and met my requirements.
Good luck and remember not to feel under pressure, it's only a car and they ususlly want to sell as much as you want to buy. -
cheapskate10 Posts: 1
happy_potatoes Posts: 9The dealer is offering a certified pre-owned 2008 535xi with 26k miles for $38500.
The car is in great shape - no visible scratches. Interior in excellent condition.
Navigation, leather, cold weather, comfort, parking assist, heads-up display, Logic 7 sound, keyless ignition.
I'm looking to purchase a car ASAP so I'd really appreciate any input before making this purchase!
(my first car purchase so I'm a little nervous - gulp!) -
nsoltz Posts: 6
happy_potatoes Posts: 9Yes, it's a CPO. I'm in the New England area.
The salesman we are working with was not at the dealership when I dropped by to check out the car so a service man allowed me to test drive the car. I'll be checking the service reports and getting a detailed car history tomorrow.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Seems like a good deal to me! -
jayrider Posts: 3,491Looked on autotrader and saw several cpo's with half the miles for 2k less. And that was asking price -- with the economy expect to get them for less. Maybe not as loaded but those exras like nav don't translate into the resale equation for more than $200. In my opinion the miles are too high at 26k to justify that price when you can find one with less than 15k. Found one in norwood for 37k and 18k miles.

gardis Posts: 185Congratulations Happy! Sounds like you are very happy with it. Good Luck. I think that was a fair price. Funny they only took off a couple of hundred dollars, just like my deal, they wanted $36,900 I ended up paying $36,200. Still I was happy with it, and I love my car. Thanks, keep us posted.

The practice of tattooing has been around for thousands of years. These days, 21% of adults in the United States report having at least one piece of permanent artwork on their bodies.
Many people who receive these lasting tributes – to loved ones, to pop culture, to religion, or to whatever they're into – generally know what to look for when selecting a reputable tattoo parlor. Does the artist wear gloves? Does the tattoo shop sterilize their equipment? Did the artist open a sterile needle in front of you? Are things like inks and ointments portioned out for individual use? If the artist can pass this mental checklist, most people feel pretty safe.
One question few people may consider, however, is "What exactly went into that ink you're about to inject into my skin?" And even if the question was asked, there's no guarantee that the artist could answer with any great certainty. Concentrated tattoo inks may be made from products that were never intended to be used for tattoos. Tattoo ink manufacturers may use products such as calligraphy ink, drawing ink, or even printer ink to make the products eventually used for tattooing. These manufacturers often sell their products online, and while their states may require them to hold a business license, there is no regulation or oversight of the product itself.
The Importance of Water
While the thought of sharing ink with your office printer might be unsettling all on its own, a key ingredient of concern is the water that is used to either create the tattoo ink product or to dilute the product in the tattoo parlor. Artists will often use water to dilute concentrated inks in order to get the specific shade the client requests. They may also use pre-diluted "gray washes," which are black inks blended to produce different color intensities.
Some tattoo artists and tattoo ink manufacturers may believe that using distilled or reverse osmosis (a filtration method that removes large particles) water is sufficient to safely create or dilute tattoo ink products, but this is not the case. Any kind of non-sterile water can contaminate the ink with potentially harmful germs, which can lead to infections in those tattooed with the ink. This was the case earlier this year, when public health officials in New York received reports of non-tuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) skin infections in at least 14 people who had been tattooed with the same pre-diluted gray ink.
In January of 2012, the Monroe County Department of Public Health received a report from a dermatologist that a patient had developed a persistent rash on his arm after being tattooed by a local tattoo artist. Biopsy and culture confirmed that he was suffering from an NTM infection, and the tattoo artist reported that other clients had complained of similar reactions.
The artist noted that the rash seemed to follow the lines created by a pre-diluted gray ink and wasn't present on areas of the tattoo that were created with other colors. This was an important observation because NTM infections typically don't spread—the rash-like infection is usually localized to the area that was exposed. Using a list of all of the clients the artist could remember tattooing with the same gray wash, the health department was able to identify 18 additional infections, 14 of which were confirmed to be NTM infections.
The Ink Thins – The Plot Thickens
After being notified of the situation in New York, CDC issued a public health alert to try to identify additional tattoo-associated NTM skin infections. Two previously identified clusters were discovered in Washington, one in Iowa, and one in Colorado, and all were related to inks likely contaminated by non-sterile water either during the manufacturing process or during dilution by the tattoo artist just prior to tattooing a client.
Contamination of tattoo ink products by non-sterile water is an ongoing problem, and this group of identified clusters may represent a snapshot of what we could expect to find at any given time. Until tattoo ink manufacturers and tattoo artists fully understand the dangers of using non-sterile water to manufacture or dilute tattoo ink, these infections will continue to occur, and they can be far more serious than just an annoying rash.
NTM skin infections are very hard to treat, and often require 4-6 months of treatment with drugs that can cause serious side effects. While some people's infections may resolve just from treatment with medication, others may require multiple surgeries to remove infected tissue and may lead to significant scarring.
So what should people do?
Because tattoo inks are injected directly into people's skin, CDC recommends that ink manufacturers produce sterile inks. To protect their clients, tattoo artists should do the following:
- Don't use inks or other products that are not intended for tattooing
- Don't dilute ink before tattooing; if dilution is needed, use only sterile water
- Don't use non-sterile water to rinse equipment (for example, needles) during tattooing
- Use aseptic technique during tattooing (e.g., maintain hand hygiene, use clean disposable gloves properly)
To reduce their risk of infection, consumers should:
- Use tattoo parlors approved/registered by their local jurisdictions
- Request inks that are manufactured specifically for tattoos
- Ensure that tattoo artists follow appropriate hygienic practices
- Be aware of the potential for infection after tattooing and promptly seek medical care if skin problems occur
Notify the tattoo artist and FDA's MedWatch program if you have a problem after getting a tattoo. You can read more in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

I've been looking for good middle-of-the-road range hood to go over my 48 dual fuel Bertazzoni.
I made the trek to a Vent a Hood dealer to check them out in person today and happened upon a "scratch and dent" sale on a GE Monogram 48" Hood (ZV48TSFSS) there. I didn't know anything about the hood, but saw the open box and saw the substantial baffle filters and "Made in Italy" printed on everything. I was surprised when he pulled it out of the box and there was a GE logo on the front. This model has the warming lights and, while not in the chimney style I was looking for, is beautiful. The scratches are very very minor and something I could live with. I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this line of hoods and if the $2000 price tag is the huge bargain the salesman made it out to be. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is about $2475 new. Neither top tier nor bottom tier quality. Below is a 54" chimney hood that is absolutely top tier quality. 16 gauge 304 SS with seamless constuction. You will need to get a shop to fabricate a duct cover if needed because manufacture is out of business and there is no warranty. You have to buy a seperate blower too. $1k plus $85 Shipping. |

FCL Builders - Tagline
About Us
FCL Builders Core Values
FCL Builders pledges to provide on every project the following:
Owner Involvement on Every Project
Upfront, In-depth Project Planning
Teaming with the Right Partners
Honest, Constructive Communication
Exceeding Performance Expectations
Five Criteria for Selecting a Design Build Firm
In a team environment, communication is critical. It takes an entire team to build a building. First and foremost - FCL Builders knows how to listen to the Client. We know that the dissemintation of goals and tasks must be precise, so that everyone is on the same page. We encourage the flow of information to go in both directions, by also listening to our subcontractors and staff.
The right strategy for providing speed to market is to take the time upfront to make the right plan. The old adage, "haste makes waste" is applicable to construction and FCL Builders knows better than to waste resources by getting ahead of oneself. Looking at the big picture and sizing up all the variables is often key to making the right design and construction decisions that will enable the team to achieve the desired end result.
We believe that the goal of thorough organization is to empower team members to implement strategies in a timely and effective way. Driving the construction to completion is a shared responsibility and mandatory ethic on every FCL Builders' project. Our specialty subcontractors are selected for their ability to make it happen.
The Right Designers and Subcontractors
Knowing the strengths and capabilities of your designers and subcontractors is essential to picking the right combination for each and every unique building project. Every building is different and by the same token, not all subcontractors are created equal. FCL Builders believes that fitting the right team members together is an art; and one that often determines the success or failure of a project.
There is no substitute for an engaged construction management team. An experienced professional knows that issues can develop and that if they are not dealt with quickly, they can soon turn into big problems. FCL Builders monitors, coaches and provides critical supervision of the daily process so that inevitable challenges are met and project success is assured.

Creature (30)
Doom Blade in the side board to replace Murder if an opponent dos not play black creatures.
Would defenitly put in Diregraf Ghoul for early game pressure, especialy since u leak 1 mana drops. Later in the game u can sacrifice him for better cards.
Mutilate in ur sideboard. It will kill ur own Blood Artist or Skirsdag High Priest while I think they are the core of this deck, no? But keep it in the sideboard because of the tokens decks out there.
than -2 Tribute to Hunger so u can play 4 Diregraf Ghoul . Enough control in the deck with 1 and the other control cards. And u get enough life thanks to Blood Artist and Disciple of Bolas .
September 2, 2012 6:41 a.m.
Thanks for the advice. The reason why I h ad Murder on my mainboard was because I was trying to make this a post-rotation deck, but if I happen to play it before Oct. I will definitely have them in my sideboard. I agree with sideboarding Mutilate . I do not know why I forgot to make the connection to killing off my creatures as well. I will see how it runs with making the adjustments you suggested.

NICE!!!! +1 from me. I actually play tested this, damn. I finally finished tweaking my mono black. It now looks like Jasper Johnson-Epstein's mono black that he used during the DKA pro tour. But whatever, LOL. It works great now, I took a week off from FNM to make my changes, and did a draft instead, got some good stuff... Have you seen the RTR spoiler?? I think they just decided to troll the shit out of Delver decks and Ajani. B/R is going to be a power house in october.
September 4, 2012 6:04 a.m.
I took a look at the new spoilers for RTR, and I agree B/R could be pretty nasty. I had thought about making this a B/R deck because there are some pretty good creatures that require red that can be used as a sacrificing engine, but it would probably end up like a deck similar to what everyone at my shop as played at some point. I want to try and create a deck that no one has so they do not already knows how it plays right when they see the colors I have chosen, and also give me a sense of pride since I made it all on my own :) However, a card that allows me to kill a creature or planeswalker is a card I would be stupid not to try to play in a deck! I cannot wait until more cards are leaked!
September 4, 2012 9:31 p.m.
Like ur way of thinking ptsmitty, not much fun in the game if everyone runs the same deck :) +1
September 5, 2012 4:20 a.m.
And if u really want Falkenrath Noble in, U can drop 2 Diregraf Ghoul and 1 Skirsdag High Priest if u ask me. But u think 4 Blood Artist do just fine :)
September 5, 2012 4:22 a.m.
gnarlicide says... #7
Yeah, I made a B/R build last night, man. Its nasty, less sacrifice... more aggro. I call it "Shamaloo". <<<< I don't know how to link my decks, so I quote them out. Its still a fairly new deck, so changes are-a-coming.

But he and all his people will lie among those who are unclean, who were killed in war, says the Lord God." | 32 Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD." |
