Google & CIA Invest in Future of Web Monitoring

The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future.
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine "goes beyond search" by "looking at the 'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online "momentum" for any given event.
"The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases," says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.
Which naturally makes the 16-person Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm attractive to Google Ventures, the search giant's investment division, and to In-Q-Tel, which handles similar duties for the CIA and the wider intelligence community.
It's not the very first time Google has done business with America's spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 — and then became the backbone for Google Earth. [

Once the news gets out in a mainstream media that Google is cooperating with CIA in a significant way, Google's reputation will take a big hit in most countries of the middle east, Africa as well as certain countries that were once part of Soviet Union. A vast majority or maybe almost the whole populations of these countries view CIA with suspicion that borders on hate because of CIA's murky past.
Now that Google has already been booted out of China, is it willing to let go of market share in countries accounting for another 20-25% of world's population?

how can they read the future by monitoring twitter, and the like?
take that iranian demo they had a while back, when everyone took to the streets. they had a big crackdown and people had to get the story out on twitter.
if they monitored it then, what would they have found? that a big demonstration was going on, and riots, thats all. they would have discovered what had already happened.
but how could they tell which way it would end up? the demo was put down in the end.
unless the president happened to twitter the notes of his meeting, i dont see how you can predict the future.

This is simply another attempt to secure access to an infinite amount of data. But at least both Google and the CIA admit their intent. When Google teamed up with the NSA [
] it was done under the guise of "securing the network." Yes--part of it is securing the net--and you can probably guess what the other part is.
It's actually kind of funny when Matt Cutts reported this on his blog a few years ago [
]. Even then, Google and the CIA were probably talking.
"If Google can do that, imagine what the military can do."
If folks could only imagine.

I don't believe thats quite what they are trying to do.
They wouldn't try and predict the result of the demonstration, it would be more about having a curve of the probability of a demo occurring under different conditions - trying to quantify the conditions.
Read an article, oh, must be 20 years ago with some fascinating work back then on various fields coming together to allow predictability of events. Its sort of the inverse of mob psychology. Mobs are predictable, if they are big enough, and the world population is big enough that almost anything has a mob element to it.
And, yes, this would eventually mean the predictability of the govt's response to the demonstration, but its a smaller sample to work with, so harder to do.

Looks like someone's been reading Asimov:
Psychohistory depends on the idea that, while one cannot foresee the actions of a particular individual, the laws of statistics as applied to large groups of people could predict the general flow of future events. Asimov used the analogy of a gas: an observer has great difficulty in predicting the motion of a single molecule in a gas, but can predict the mass action of the gas to a high level of accuracy. (Physicists know this as the Kinetic theory.) Asimov applied this concept to the population of his fictional Galactic Empire, which numbered a quintillion. The character responsible for the science's creation, Hari Seldon, established two axioms:
1. that the population whose behaviour was modeled should be sufficiently large
2. that the population should remain in ignorance of the results of the application of psychohistorical analyses

'invisible links' between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events."
This is a lot of empty promises and lost investment money: predicting the future with web trends, this must be a joke. If anything, they'll just be able to monitor trends real time and avoid the Micheal Jackson death shutdown of G SERP fiasco.
If the links are invisible, it's because they aren't really there.

The erosion rate of a layer of negative-working resist is markedly reduced by forming thereon a thin layer of polyfunctional acrylate or methylacrylate monomer. Upon irradiation, the monomer insolubilizes at a faster rate than the resist thereby forming a crust thereon. The result is reduced erosion, improved edge acuity and fewer pinholes in the developed resist pattern.

18. A process in a accordance with claim 11 additionally including the step of removing residual scum from the exposed portion of the substrate.
19. A process in accordance with claim 18, wherein the scum is removed by treating the substrate with an oxygen plasma.
This invention relates to media for the lithographic recording of information, particularly utilizing electron beam and X-rays, for use in the manufacture of electronic devices including microelectronic circuits.
Significant advances in recent years in the reduction in physical size and cost of electronic circuits have resulted from improvements in manufacturing techniques such as microlithography. In general, microlithography comprises applying a film of radiation sensitive material, i.e. a resist medium, to the surface of a substrate, irradiating a selected portion of the resist layer with a source of irradiation, e.g., ultraviolet light, an electron beam, a laser beam, X-rays or the like, and developing the film with a solvent to remove a portion thereof thus forming a relief pattern. For a positive resist medium, the portion irradiated will be dissolved in the developer solvent whereas the nonirradiated portion will be dissolved for a negative resist medium. The resist material remaining on the surface is utilized as a protective mask to facilitate the selective etching or other treatment of the exposed portion of the underlying substrate.
In general, the good sensitivity possessed by negative resists is more than offset by the loss of both resolution and adhesion to the substrate resulting from development with organic solvents. In addition, a high erosion rate, often exceeding fifty percent, is common with wet development of negative electron beam and X-ray resists. Also, the development of such resists commonly leaves a residual scum on the exposed portion of the substrates which must be removed, conventionally, in an oxygen plasma. The high erosion plus the descumming step often leave only very thin layers of resist so that pinhole defects become a substantial problem.
In accordance with this invention, there are provided negative resist structures which are particularly useful with irradiation means, such as electron beam and X-rays, which, when utilized with conventional negative resists, are characterized by substantial erosion during development. The subject two-layer resist system is ideally suited for direct write irradiation, particularly by electron beam.
A layer of negative working resist material is coated with a composition comprising a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer and a nonsolvent for the resist layer. The monomer insolubilizes upon irradiation to form a protective top layer which significantly reduces the erosion of the resist layer upon development.
The first layer of the two-layer resist structure of this invention is a negative working resist material. Suitable materials include conventional resists such as homopolymers or copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate, homopolymers or copolymers of a halogenated styrene or chloromethylated styrene, a composition comprising a novolac resin and a bisazide sensitizer, certain polysiloxanes and the like. A widely used commercial negative resist preparation is a copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate available from Mead Chemical Company under the tradename COP.
A preferred negative resist material for the first layer of the subject structures comprises a phenolic resin and a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer as disclosed by Pampalone et al., in a copending U.S. patent application entitled "Resist Media", Ser. No. 672,317, filed Nov. 16, 1984, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The phenolic resin portion of the compositions comprises an ortho-, para- or meta-cresol novolac resin, poly(hydroxystyrene) and mixtures thereof. The polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomers are the same as will be described hereinafter with reference to the subject structures. The polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomers are present in the Pampalone et al. resist compositions in from about 5 to about 30, preferably from about 10 to about 15, percent by weight, based on the weight of the phenolic resin present.
The thickness of the first negative resist layer in accordance with this invention is generally between about 0.3 and about 2, preferably between about 0.5 and about 1, micrometers. In the event the substrate to be patterned has topographical features, the thickness of the first resist layer is generally between about 2 and 4 times the height of the tallest topographical feature on the substrate. The thicknesses given above are generally applicable to electron beam or X-ray irradiation of the substrate. When the subject resist structure is to be irradiated with UV or deep UV light, the initial layer of negative resist is substantially thicker, e.g. from about 1 to about 25 micrometers in thickness. Although the subject resist structures are advantageous with all conventional types of irradiation, they are particularly suited for direct write lithography using irradiation which is associated with a substantial degree of erosion of the resist layer during development, such as electron beam.
ln accordance with this invention, the first negative resist layer is applied to the substrate, suitably by spin-coating, alowed to air-dry, if desired, and then baked at a temperature between about 70� and 200� C., preferably between about 90� and 150� C., for from about one to thirty minutes, depending on the composition, its thickness and, to a lesser degree, the type of heating means utilized, as is conventional.
The first negative resist layer is then coated with a layer of a composition comprising a solution of a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer in a suitable solvent. These monomers contain more than one "acrylate moiety", i.e. the chemical group represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl. Representative examples of this art-recognized group of monomers include trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, hexamethylenediol diacrylate and pentaerythritol triacrylate.
In order to be acceptable for use in the subject resist structures, the monomer must dissolve in or be readily dispersible in a solvent which is a nonsolvent for the first resist layer. Suitable solvents include cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane and mixtures thereof with minor amounts, e.g. up to about 10 percent by weight, of other solvents such as acetone, methanol and the like. In addition, the monomer must not volatilize or change properties under the high vacuum conditions of electron beam irradiation. Further, the monomer must remain essentially intact as the upper layer of the structure through the various processing steps and temperatures it must endure. Finally, it is important that the monomer insolubilize more readily than the first resist layer upon irradiation.
The monomer is dissolved in the solvent to a concentration of from about 0.5 to 5, preferably from about 1 to 2, percent by weight and spin-coated onto the layer of resist. The coating is allowed to air dry. The monomer coatings in accordance with this invention are thin, i.e. from about 250 to 1100, preferably from about 500 to 600, angstroms. Because the layer of monomer is thin, the inherent low contrast of these monomers does not cause a significant loss of resolution.
The structure comprising a layer of negative resist and a coating of monomer is pattern irradiated with a suitable source of irradation, e.g. ultraviolet light, electron beam, laser beam, X-rays or the like. The irradiation causes the monomer to crosslink over the resist to form an insoluble crust which is relatively impervious to erosion. This crust, however, does not interfere with the irradiation of the underlying resist. The structure is then developed with a conventional developer for the resist. Conventionally, such developers are organic solvents with the exception of the phenolic resin/polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate compositions of Pampalone et al. which are developable in an aqueous, alkaline composition.
After the resist structure has been developed, it is frequently necessary to remove a residual scum on the exposed portion of the substrate which is characteristic of conventional negative resists such as those containing glycidyl methacrylate. This descumming step is conventionally carried out by treating the substrate with an oxygen plasma for a time sufficient to clean out the irradiated areas of the substrate surface.
Because the crossliked monomer layer erodes to a markedly lower degree than the underlying resist, the subject structures are advantageous in that the potential for pinhole formation in the patterned resist film is significantly lower than would be expected using only a single layer of conventional negative resist. The subject structures undergo substantially less erosion at a nominal dosage of irradiation than a single layer of conventional negative resist. The nominal irradiation dosage is that which produces a pattern of the same width as the irradiating beam. Those skilled in the art are aware that, in the instance of a negative resist, irradiation dosages above the nominal level will increase the insolubility of the irradiated portion of the film and therefore decrease erosion, but will also increase the width of the pattern, due principally to effects such as backscattering from the substrate surface. Therefore, the fact that the subject structures undergo substantially less erosion at nominal dosage is a significant advantage.
The following Examples further illustrate this invention, it being understood that the invention is in no way intended to be limited to the details described therein. In the Examples, all parts and percentages are on a weight basis and all temperatures are in degrees Celsius, unless otherwise stated.
Four inch square glass plates having a 1 micrometer thick coating of chromium were utilized as substrates. A solution containing 15 percent of poly(hydroxystyrene) and 1.5 percent of trimethylolpropane triacrylate in propyleneglycolmethylether acetate was spin-coated onto the substrate, air-dried and baked for 30 minutes at 90� to yield a coating 0.5 micrometer thick.
Solutions of 1, 1.5 and 2 percent respectively, of trimethylolpropane triacrylate in cyclohexane were spin-coated onto the above substrates and air-dried to yield films 250, 550 and 1100 angstroms thick, respectively.
The coated substrates were irradiated with a MEBES I electron beam generator with dosages of from 5 to 30 micro Coulombs per square centimeter and developed by immersion in Waycoat HPRD 1084 developer, Philip A. Hunt Chemical Corp., diluted 1:5 with deionized water, for 60 seconds. The irradiation pattern contained large solid areas and a series of areas of lines and spaces from one-half to ten micrometers wide.
From normalized film thicknesses remaining after development for each log irradiation dosage, a typical exposure curve was generated. From the slope of the curve, the contrast and sensitivities at 0 percent erosion (D0) and fifty percent erosion (D0.5) were calculated. D0 and D0.5 are the dosages at which erosion begins and one-half of the film is removed, respectively. Contrast is conventionally defined as the slope of a curve obtained by plotting percent film remaining after development against the log of the irradiation dose. The resolution for a given dosage was determined by the pattern in which lines and spaces were cleanly delineated. A substrate coated with the resist but not with the monomer served as a control. The results are reported in Table I.
TABLE I______________________________________Monomer PatternThickness D0 D0.5 Resolution(Angstroms) Contrast (MicroC/cm2) (Micrometers)______________________________________0 (control) 0.7 �110 30 0.5250 1.6 44 13 0.5550 2.0 31 17 11100 2.0 15 8 2______________________________________
lt is evident that a 250 angstrom thick coating of the monomer increases sensitivity (D0.5) from 30 to 13 microC/cm2 at the same level of resolution. Increasing the thickness of the monomer coating increases the sensitivity at the expense of some loss of resolution.
Substrates double-coated, irradiated and developed in accordance with Example 1 were etched in an oxygen plasma for two minutes to remove the acrylate top layer. It was observed that the acrylate layer could be removed with little or no loss of the underlying resist layer since the etch rate of the acrylate layer was approximately three times that of the resist layer. In this manner the resolution could be increased in certain instances. For example, the substrate having a 550 angstrom thick coating of acrylate was unable to attain resolution of 0.5 micrometer lines and spaces. After removal of the acrylate layer in an oxygen plasma, the underlying patterned resist layer attained 0.5 micrometer resolution. These results demonstrate that the subject monomer coating can be utilized to increase sensitivity and reduce erosion of a negative resist layer and then be removed to take advantage of the high resolution of the underlying resist layer.
The lateral distribution of the monomer layer of the subject invention was determined by allowing a substrate coated with a first layer of poly(hydroxystyrene) and, thereover, 1100 angstroms of monomer in the manner described in Example 1, to stand over a period of three days. The substrate was then blanket irradiated with sufficient pulsed deep UV light to harden the monomer. An IR spectrum of the structure was taken after which the composition was ion milled by degrees. An IR spectrum, taken after each stage, showed the acrylate to be almost entirely distributed in the upper one-third of the composite.
Scanning electron micrographs of samples of the patterned substrates produced in Example 1 showed in all instances that nearly the full thickness of acrylate crust remained on the top of the composite.
Substrates coated with a 0.5 micrometer thick coating of resist in the manner described in Example 1 were spin-coated at 4000 rpm with a 1.8 percent solution of pentaerythritol triacrylate in a 90:10 mixture of cyclohexane and acetone. The solvent completely evaporated on the spinner leaving a coating of monomer 600 angstoms thick. The substrates were irradiated with from 15 to 30 microC/cm2 of electron beam and developed as in Example 1. Contrast, sensitivity and pattern resolution were determined as in Example 1. The 600 angstrom thick monomer coating demonstrated a contrast of 2.0, D0 and D0.5 of 27 and 17 microC/cm2, respectively, and a pattern resolution of 1 micrometer.
Commercially available substrates consisting of four inch glass plates coated with a one micrometer thick layer of chromium over which was deposited 0.6 micrometer of COP, i.e. a copolymer of glycidylmethacrylate and ethylacrylate, were coated with a 550 angstrom thick layer of trimethylolpropane triacrylate in the manner described in Example 1. The plates were irradiated with an electron beam as in Example 1 using dosages of from 0.125 to 0.75 microC/cm2.
The plates were developed in automated development equipment commercially available for developing COP resist. The plates were descummed in an oxygen plasma as conventionally recommended for COP resist. In both instances, the time recommended was doubled to assure good clean out, and to remove the remaining acrylate overcoat, respectively. The resist thickness remaining after development and after descum was measured in each instance using a profilometer. The results are reported in Table II.
TABLE II______________________________________ Thickness in MicrometerDosage After Development After DescummicroC/cm2 (Percent) (Percent)______________________________________COP: Thickness 0.602 Micrometer0.125 <0.1 none0.250 0.182 (30.2) 0.168 (27.9)0.500 0.329 (54.6) 0.302 (50.1)0.625 0.389 (64.6) 0.320 (53.1)0.750 0.397 (65.9) 0.349 (58.0)COP and Monomer: Thickness 0.657 Micrometer.0.125 <0.1 none0.250 0.406 (61.8) 0.355 (54.0)0.375 0.440 (67.0) 0.365 (55.6)0.500 0.510 (77.6) 0.415 (63.2)0.750 0.540 (82.2) 0.430 (65.4)1.000 0.545 (83.0) 0.440 (67.0)______________________________________
These results indicate that irradiation of COP resist film with a dosage in the nominal range, i.e. about 0.25 microC/cm2, is possible in accordance with the present method with a final retention of over fifty percent of the original film thickness. It is evident from the data in Table II that a significantly higher percent of a COP film is retained with the monomer coating when irradiated with a dosage in the conventional range.
Comparing the films at the important nominal dosage of 0.250 microC/cm2, the thickness of the monomer coated film remaining after descum was almost twice that of the uncoated COP film which retained only about 28 percent. The substantial erosion of the COP film significantly increases the potential for pinholes in the remaining film.
In all instances using the double coating, good resolution was obtained on a pattern of two micrometer wide lines and spaces. Edge definition was excellent.

IMF: GDP continues to grow in Qatar, but at slower pace
Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 6.3 per cent is expected in 2012, down from 14.1 per cent a year earlier.
That is according to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Economic Outlook, which also suggested GDP would slow to 4.3 per cent by the end of next year.
Although the Qatari economy has been bolstered by the increase in liquefied natural gas exports, the country hopes to diversity its strategy to establish more financial investments and a robust tourism industry for sustainable growth.
Director of the IMF's Middle East and Central Asia Department Masood Ahmed said: "The main issue facing the Middle East oil exporters is how to take advantage of their current positive position to strengthen their resilience against oil price declines."
He suggested that the regions would need to diversify its economies to boost private sector jobs creation.
Still, it is hoped that the 2022 Fifa World Cup will not only lead to improved infrastructure, but also help to establish Qatar as a sporting and tourist hotspot.

Bird's Eye
n. A fabric woven with a pattern of small diamonds, each having a dot in the center. Usually found on skirts, blazers, trousers and socks. As evidenced by the sample fabric, the pattern is very subtle and can only be discerned up close.
The pattern above is from this Chloe Bird's Eye Mini Skirt, $710. Cute, huh?

How about when his ult is active when he goes into a bush he enters stealth then retains it for a set duration then refreshes as he enters another. He won't be able to disappear into thin air in the middle of a lane but be can do something like ult before tribush bot enter stealth then gank and may or may not be in stealth all the way to his jump point but it helps.
Oh the lameness! I really, really hope this no stealth thing doesn't go live.
This game is becoming more bland after every update. Sadness. =(

Just kidding, I just wanted to add in an opinion. I never liked full assassin Rengar so as a Bruiser Rengar player I figured stealth removal meant I pretty much would have to drop the champ, because my play pattern in team fights was: fight in the center->do some damage/draw focus->ult when low->run or engage on the lower health squishies. That pattern doesn't work without stealth, although Xelnath saying he was more easily able to survive with this ult gives me some hope.
That also gets me thinking. What is Rengar's fall back pattern? It seems like he's becoming a dedicated assassin, but if that's true, what do you do when you're behind as Rengar? Bonetooth is useless to you in that situation, you may not have the base stats to survive long enough to Q train squishies to death. So what does a behind Rengar even do? Can he still be useful if he goes a little tankier?
Junior Member
I am not anti stealth in general but I don't see stealth as mandatory for Rengar.
Rengar is a predator..not the predator from the movie. lol
I am a fan of Rengar. I am a fan of stealth. I never felt like Rengars stealth should come from pressing a button....but from smart positioning.
Rengar is supposed to be using the brush to sneak up more so than most other champs.
His "stealth" comes from those ambush tactics.
What makes him a hunter is his ability to HUNT...as in find and get onto an enemy to take them down.
Being able to slow targets from a greater distance fits into that.
Rengar lessening enemies damage output also makes him more synergistic with other champs in a team fight while still effectively keeping its place as increasing his personal ability to survive being attacked.
Rengars stealth was initially too good at letting him escape fight So they made the start up really slow. Now it is only good at initiating but that leads to one of two outcomes-
1:He surprises enemies and pretty much insta-gibs someone without them having a chance to respond.
2: A ward shows him coming and he lacks the survivability to deal with that.
Its too binary and lacks the back and forth play that makes the game interesting for both sides.
His ULT being about vision,speed and up more often fits right into Rengars gameplay model without taking away his brush stalking style. It makes wards a less effective counter tactic because knowing he is coming doesn't save you from him. They just need to make sure they get his base stats into the right place so he is sturdy enough to take the heat.
Hey, I think the fact that there's so many red thumbs on your posts should be a bit of an indicator that many people are against removing the stealth...
FYI: Me included.
Hey Scarizard,
I don't know if you're still reading this but it is a huge disappointment to someone who enjoys playing Rengar. I think we've really fixed the issues with Rengar regarding AP Rengar derp etc. In my opinion, and some close friends who play who I've talked with about it, Rengar is part of rare breed of well designed assassins/ad casters. They are high risk (putting yourself in melee range of the enemy team), high reward (snowbally and dangerous if fed and played well, pretty worthless if not), and have a way of increasing survivability for a very short time that allows them to not be completely unviable (Rengar W, Pantheon block passive).
Rengar is now extremely rarely picked (5% pick rate in ranked, 47% win rate in ranked) so why on earth would we feel the need to remove his stealth and put him in the trash can? This isn't toxic, there is PLENTY of counter play (oracle, wards, peel, NOT feeding him early) that render him useless and therefore present the high-risk high-reward scenario that he should be in. He also has to choose between trying to assassinate a carry and then dying with no escape, or going in without it and using it to disengage. If you remove the "thrill" from Thrill of the Hunt, Rengar will be a Heimer tier champion.
Please do not do these proposed nerfs to Rengar.
Alpha Gray
Ultimate - Same as you describe, but Rengar gains [a fast but not instant] stealth while in brush and retains it for 1.5 seconds upon leaving.
That way Rengar is darting in and out of bushes as he navigates through the Jungle and the river to get in position for a teamfight, or during a complex duel. Combined with the way his movespeed is increasing as he gains stacks of Bonetooth, Rengar can literally dart from bush to bush like the actual tiger-man he is.
Also makes him much more interesting when literally playing cat and mouse with someone in the jungle. This is a hunting cat that darts from Brush to brush to maintain the element of surprise and has a solid second and a half to position to jump on a fool in a long lane (or mid) in order to mess with them.
Its unfortunate that people are reacting so negatively. I'd like to reiterate how grateful some of the community is for all the attention you've given my favorite champ as well as this discussion (That goes to Classick/Scar/Wav3/even ole xelnath!)
I had a couple ideas related to the stealth vs no stealth situation on his ult. First off what about a short stealth duration followed by a movement speed buff? It's in the same realm as kha'zix and his sprint stealth, but it's different enough with the leap and the alternating status changes. Another idea I had relates to WHY we would use his ult. For me, I use the ult to avoid wards coming in for a gank. Obviously there are a hundred different scenarios but I just see that as one of the most pivotal NEEDS for a stealth on it. What about some sort of ward clouding aspect? For example, I'm blue side Rengar coming through tri brush and I cast my ultimate to "cloud" a certain area that I know usually has wards, and then follow that in for a gank or just use it to back the lane off. Now I'm not thinking graves level vision deny here either, because it wouldn't deny champion vision at all.
Just ideas, chew on it and see what sounds good.

July 30, 2014 — Car sales continue to do well nation wide as the new June sales numbers have been released. Overall, automakers sold almost a million and a half more new vehicles this year in June compared to last year. And the top auto seller in the industry was the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram line with a big 9% increase for June sales in the U.S.
Looking closer to home in the Acadiana area, we found that the folks at Sterling Chrysler are also smilling because of the auto boom and asked them what has attibuted to the doulbling of their sales in the last 4 years.
"We were selling 50-60 brand new cars a month. Now we are in 120-130 range every month. It's really been push here locally at Sterling were we pride our selves on customer service and just treating people the right way." said General Sales Manager Jeff Cook.
"Nationally Chrysler is taking on more of a role of trying to just put a better product out and changing the concept of what Chrysler was to what it actually is now."
Sterling Automotive with their two locations of Opelousas and Lafayette are thrilled with their record sales numbers and thank the customers of South Louisiana for their business. The fact that the numbers for new vehicles is up nationally as well as the Acadiana area is excellent news for everyone.

New! "Request for Compromise" form now available.
New! "Interim Operating Rules" now available.
Redacted Orders now available, see "Find a Decision" tab.
The current six-member Board (the Treasurer, the Auditor General, the Attorney General and three agencies under the Governor's jurisdiction, including the Department of Revenue), will be replaced by a three-member independent Board. Two members will be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Pennsylvania Senate - one initially serving a four-year term and one serving a six-year term. All subsequent terms will be for six years. The State Treasurer or his designee will fill the third seat and remain as Chair. The new Board members must:
Appointed members will serve until their successor is qualified and may be renominated.
Effective April 1, 2014, the law prohibits Board members and Board staff from participating in any ex parte communications with a taxpayer or their representative or the Department of Revenue regarding the merits of any tax appeal pending before the Board.
The Board is currently drafting regulations pertaining to ex parte communications.
It is the policy of the Board to encourage compromise settlements as a judicious means of resolving tax matters thereby reducing the costs associated with potential litigation. Section 9704(d.7) of the Tax Reform Code of 1971 directs the Board to establish procedures to facilitate the compromise settlement of issues on appeal. A compromise settlement shall be ordered by the Board only with the agreement of both the taxpayer and the Department of Revenue.
Decisions of the Board, including dissenting opinions, will be published (after deletion of certain confidential information) on a publicly accessible, searchable, internet website. Accordingly, the searchable database contains decisions rendered after April 1, 2014.
The primary thrust of the recent Tax Reform Code Amendment was to create more independence for Board of Finance and Revenue decisions. Accordingly, the Department of Revenue no longer sits in judgment, but instead as an advocate, in state tax matters at the second level of appeal. As a consequence, Revenue now possesses the right to present evidence and argument before the Board as it has automatic statutory standing.
BF&R hearings will remain open to the public.
Taxpayers may be represented before the Board by themselves, by an attorney, by an accountant, or by another representative so long as the representation does not constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
Decisions from the Board of Finance and Revenue may be appealed to the Commonwealth Court and will be heard de novo (i.e., no formal record, such as a transcript, will be made before the Board and new evidence may be presented on appeal to court).

"These ended up being much smaller than i thought but maybe i didnt read the description well enough...super cute though!! I bought these as thank you notes for my son to give, i am obsessed with little boys & mustaches so they are a perfect design! :)"
"This card is very nice quality and printed/shipped to me very quickly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I were able to pick the hair and/or eye color of the girl so it can be a bit more customized. I understand that would add to the production time however."
"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"This card is not too fussy and leaves plenty of room to write your own personal message. The design is simple but colorful and eye catching."
"I ordered these cards for my brand new granddaughter and her Mommie loves them and looks forward to writing short and sweet notes for all the treasures she is receiving from family and friends."
