JACKSBORO, Texas (Aug. 20, 2013) - Just after the grand opening of the new public pool in Jacksboro, Faith Community Hospital Charitable Foundation Tuesday presented pool management with an automated external defibrillator that will be critical in helping to save lives in the unfortunate event of a drowning or other medical-related emergencies. Blain Rumage, president of the FCH Charitable Foundation, which allocated the necessary funds to purchase the defibrillator, presented the new equipment to Lynda Pack of the Jacksboro Economic Development Corporation with team members and representatives of the city pool on-hand. "The city pool is a fantastic example of what the community can accomplish together, and we wanted to continue the spirit by partnering with healthcare in mind," said Rumage. "We hope that our EMS department never receives a call out to the city pool, but in the case of an emergency, we want the public to be rest assured that lifeguards on-duty will have the equipment and expertise to stabilize patients while our emergency team is en route." An automated external defibrillator is a portable device that is used in the event of cardiac arrest and works by returning the heart to an effective rhythm through electrical therapy. In addition to the medical equipment, FCH's relationship with pool management is also strengthened through additional emergency response training for lifeguard and pool team members. According to Jeff Miller, director of emergency medical services at FCH, lifeguards at the city pool received essential training from the American Red Cross.
FCH is supplementing that training with local EMS procedures so that the lifeguards can know what to expect from FCH in the event of a medical emergency. After the automated external defibrillator and equipment was presented, Miller held a training session with the pool lifeguards to show them how to use the unit poolside. "Although all defibrillators perform in the same manner, each manufacturer designs the equipment differently," Miller explained. "Part of the process is to make sure the lifeguards have no questions about the equipment so that they fully understand how to use and maintain it." The public pool opened on July 27 after extensive funding and development coordination by the Jacksboro Pool Committee. Owned by the City of Jacksboro and managed through funds raised by the Jacksboro EDC, the brand new facility provides locals with an entertainment and recreation option for keeping cool and enjoying the summer weather. Opened in 1958, Faith Community Hospital is a 41-bed facility that provides healthcare services for residents of Jack County. The hospital offers a wealth of medical services For additional information, please visit www.fchtexas.com.

Perhaps, like me, many may have come to realize that a shift of investing paradigm from "value" to "rent seeking" cronyism requires little financial acumen.
And a political route towards investing means partisanship that leads to polarization and ethical erosion. Thus Warren Buffet may have been losing lots of fans as measured by the latest charity fund raising lunch.
Writes the Zero Hedge (bold original)
Demand for Warren Buffett, the investor, peaked in 2012 when an anonymous donor bid $3,456,789 for the annual Glide Foundation's eBay lunch with the Octogenarian of Omaha. Demand for Warren Buffett, 82, the Obama tax and fairness advisor, however, is a mere fraction as the stunned Glide Foundation found out last night when the final bid for the "Power Lunch for 8 with Warren Buffett to Benefit GLIDE Foundation" auction closed at the lowest possible 6 digit increment, or an embarrassing $1,000,100. This was the lowest demand to have lunch with Buffett since 2007.This is a stunning result considering that with every passing year, for obvious reasons, the likelihood of many more such "power lunches" drops exponentially. We hope Buffett-demand is not a proxy leading indicator for the stock market or else a 71% plunge is coming.
Poetic justice?

Granite Bay's Roth vaults onto world stage
Scott Roth landed on the other side of the pole vault bar last weekend in Albuquerque and sprang up seeing the world much differently.
The Granite Bay High School graduate finished second at the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships and earned a roster spot on Team USA for the IAAF World Indoor Championships, scheduled from March 9-11.
Roth's résumé already is lengthy and impressive. He was a three-time state champion at Granite Bay from 2004-06 and a three-time NCAA champion at the University of Washington, including indoor and outdoor titles in the 2010-11 school year.
Roth, 23, actually has competed in world youth and junior world meets, but this next step? This is different; yes, much different. He leaves Sunday for Istanbul, Turkey.
"The NCAAs are really cool to win because I'm on a team, and the whole team is just so happy for me and excited about it because I'm bringing attention to the team. They're always very supportive," Roth said Thursday from Seattle. "Now, it's a little different. I'm on my own and not part of a team. To go to worlds is just another … I feel like I'm in the real world. I'm a top-dog jumper now. It's a pretty cool feeling."
And, by the way, he's getting paid now. The USA Indoor was Roth's first meet as a professional.
"They have awesome prize money, and now, I'm able to accept those without breaking any rules," he said. "So that's kind of cool."
Roth tweaked a hamstring at a meet in Scotland two weeks before the USA Indoor and nearly ruled out competing, but he was diligent in his rehabilitation and landed in Albuquerque with, as he put it, a "confident nervousness."
Entering the meet as the only competitor with an 'A' standard vault of 5.72 meters (18 feet, 9 inches) helped.
Curt Roth, who lives in Granite Bay, said the injury led his son to place a greater emphasis on his diet and a thorough warmup. He also said Scott's "incredible humbleness" is a major reason why he continues to improve.
"It is often the end of an athlete when he feels he has arrived," Curt Roth said in an e-mail. "Scotty can watch his jump and see so much he would like to fix, and he works hard to do so."
While Scott Roth already is one of the fastest vaulters on the runway, he continues to work on his speed and strength, and he's trying to perfect his pole drop and carry.
"That has a lot of impact on how the rest of the jump goes," Roth said.
Roth said he had an "awesome" warmup in Albuquerque, and his hamstring held together. He cleared 17-4½, 17-11¾ and 18-4½. Brad Walker, another former NCAA champ from Washington and winner of the 2006 World Indoor and 2007 World Outdoor Championships, cleared 19-2¾ to win the USA Indoor.
Roth missed at 18-9¼ but won a tiebreaker over Mark Hollis of Nike. Roth had his ticket to worlds.
The 18-4½ qualified Roth for the Olympic Trials from June 22-July 1 in Eugene, Ore., but his vision currently is set on Istanbul. As of Thursday, it was still being worked out whether his dad or Pat Licari, his coach at Washington, would accompany him. Roth said he's thankful to have both be so willing to train and travel with him.
Roth said this is almost the pinnacle of his career. The next-highest achievement to the Olympics is a medal at worlds.
"This is by far the biggest meet I'll have ever gone to. This is a huge deal for me," he said. "I have this golden opportunity in front of me. I'm going to do everything I can."
Roth's personal record is 18-9¼. He's shooting for 5.8 meters (19 feet) in Turkey.
"If I can … PR at that meet, that would just be the greatest thing ever because 5.80, let's say, that would most likely get me top three at worlds," he said. "And that is just a super reasonable goal for me."
For now.

Bill Moyers: Faith & Reason
In his latest PBS series, the veteran journalist talks to writers about faith, reason, and religious conflicts around the world.
I was looking for a fresh take. There's a spasm of fundamentalism in the world right now, and fundamentalism is at war with the imagination, at war with creativity, at war with freedom, especially freedom of the mind. And more often than not, the people who feel the weight of that war are writers, and [it is] writers who are exploring deep issues of faith and reason through language. Language gives them the capacity for nuance that you don't have in fundamentalist dogma or creeds or doctrines of any organized religion. So, if you want fresh takes on faith and reason today, go to the people who are thinking creatively about both and writing about both of them.
Writers struggle in their art and in their lives with the meaning of faith and reason and the experience of faith and reason. And if you want first hand witnesses to the reality of how most of us are neither wholly skeptics nor wholly believers, go to writers. Go to people whose work is imagining a different world.
What does the series aim to add to our understanding of faith in America today?
The violence in the world and the atrocities in the world over the last few years have divided us as almost never before in terms of religion and politics. It's all about confrontation, and we've allowed the fundamentalists--the Orthodox Jews, the fundamentalist Muslims, the fundamentalist Christians--to dominate the political discourse. If you watch the mainstream media in this country, you would not know that there was something called mainline Protestantism. You wouldn't know that there are Catholics who are independent and have remained in the church, even though they are at odds with the church.
You just singled out three groups--Orthodox Jews, fundamentalist Christians, fundamentalist Muslims. Why? What do you see that they have in common?
They have in common a belief that they know the mind of God. The young man who killed the prime minister of Israel said, "What I did, I did for the glory of God." He killed the prime minister of Israel for the same reason that the Islamists want to kill Rushdie. General Boykin has been going around the country in uniform talking about a holy war against Islam. They believe they know the mind of God. And when you believe you know the mind of God, you've got no room for compromise in the United States Senate or the United States House of Representatives or on the street corner. Truth becomes absolute. And absolute truth, like absolute power, is a terrifying sword.
So why are fundamentalism and extremism so attractive to so many people?

Father, son to split lottery win
Wednesday, August 3, 2011
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A father and son who have teamed up to play lottery games for a quarter of a century have struck it rich.
The Missouri Lottery says 84-year-old Jack Sullivan of Wentzville purchased a Missouri Lotto ticket at a Schnucks Market. It was a $1.6 million winner in the July 20 drawing. Rather than receiving the prize in 25 annual payments, Sullivan opted for the $800,000 cash option.
Sullivan and his son, 64-year-old Craig Sullivan of Chandler, Ariz., have been playing various lottery games since the Missouri Lottery began in 1986. Their first brush with luck came in 1988 when Craig bought an Arizona Lottery ticket worth $78,000.

Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams news, rumors and injuries
Rams | Tavon Austin may have option picked up
Sun, 01 May 2016 14:06:26 -0700
Los Angeles Rams WR Tavon Austin is expected to have his fifth-year option exercised, but the team hopes to sign him to a long-term extension.
Fantasy Tip: Austin finished the 2015 season with 473 receiving yards, 434 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Austin should be a popular target for Jared Goff in 2016 and could be a middle-round option in most fantasy leagues.

Sat, 30 Apr 2016 19:06:30 -0700
Undrafted free-agent WR Nelson Spruce (Colorado) agreed to terms on a deal with the Los Angeles Rams Saturday, April 30.
Fantasy Tip: Spruce posted 195 receptions for 2,251 yards and 16 touchdowns over his past two seasons for the Buffs, including 12 scores in his junior campaign in 2015. He could be a sneaky fantasy sleeper if he is able to make his way onto the roster in training camp and the preseason. Definitely worth watching.

Rams | Los Angeles adds Pharoh Cooper
Sat, 30 Apr 2016 10:14:16 -0700
The Los Angeles Rams selected South Carolina WR Pharoh Cooper with the 117th pick in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL draft.
Fantasy Tip: Cooper joins a receiving corps that needs a go-to weapon, but with a rookie under center in an offense built on the ground game, his upside is limited. He could be worth a flier in deeper PPR formats.

Rams | Two Rams QBs up for grabs
Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:42:33 -0700
Los Angeles Rams QB Nick Foles is on the trade block, and the Rams are willing to listen to offers for QB Case Keenum as well.
Fantasy Tip: One of the two could wind up starting to open the season, and Keenum figures to be ahead of Foles. Jared Goff has a chance to start if the team feels he's ready. Goff has the most fantasy value, but it's as a low-end QB2. His value is more prevalent in dynasty leagues. The other two don't have much fantasy promise.

Rams | Jared Goff great in red zone
Fri, 29 Apr 2016 10:11:59 -0700
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff had 28 touchdowns and no interceptions in the red zone in 2015, which was one of the things the Rams loved about him.
Fantasy Tip: Goff will have the chance to start Week 1. The Rams will focus on the run, and Goff's rookie upside is pretty marginal right now. He'll be a low-end QB2 consideration if he thrives in camp. He's a surefire dynasty target.
Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com - Nick Wagoner
Rams | Jared Goff will have to adjust
Fri, 29 Apr 2016 09:20:29 -0700
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff was in a "Bear Raid" spread offense in college where he spent more than 99% of his time taking snaps out of the shotgun. The Rams were in a shotgun or pistol formation on fewer plays than any other team in the NFL in 2015. Goff has the chance to begin the season as the starter if the team deems him ready.
Fantasy Tip: Goff will have to adjust from his shotgun-heavy ways, but the Rams' offense is built around the running game and short passes. Whether it was scheme or personnel, the Rams have ran a system that emphasizes short routes, bubble screens and passes that will allow their receivers to make plays in space. Tavon Austin was a big proponent to this setup, and the team hasn't thrown the deep ball with regularity. The team wants Goff to be ready for Week 1. Whether that happens, we'll find out in camp. Goff is a low-end QB2 without a lot of upside this year. He'll be a popular dynasty commodity.

Rams | Jared Goff starting opener the goal
Fri, 29 Apr 2016 08:25:13 -0700
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff starting the season opener is the goal for the team, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.
Fantasy Tip: Goff has a lot to prove in camp to show fantasy circles that he's worthy of a QB2 selection in single-year leagues. He's a great dynasty option, but he's a low-end QB2 in traditional formats.

Rams | Jared Goff to Rams first overall
Thu, 28 Apr 2016 17:00:05 -0700
The Los Angeles Rams selected California QB Jared Goff with the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday, April 28.
Fantasy Tip: Goff becomes the face of the franchise as they make the move to the West Coast. He'll immediately have a chance to win the starting job in training camp. However, with more of a dink-and-dunk offense without much at receiver, Goff won't have much fantasy upside if he's starting in Week 1. Consider him a low-end QB2 in single-year formats.

Rams | Los Angeles hoping to trade Nick Foles
Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:10:55 -0700
Los Angeles Rams QB Nick Foles could be traded as a result of the Rams likely drafting a quarterback Thursday, April 28, on the first day of the NFL draft. Several teams have already expressed interest in Foles, but if he is unable to be swapped then he will likely be released.
Fantasy Tip: Foles will almost definitely be playing for another team in 2016, and it will probably be as a backup. His fantasy appeal is essentially non-existent right now.

Rams | No. 1 pick won't know until it's time
Thu, 28 Apr 2016 08:08:44 -0700
California QB Jared Goff is expected to be the No. 1 pick by the Los Angeles Rams, but the Rams won't notify the player they're selecting until they're on the clock Thursday, April 28.
Fantasy Tip: Goff will likely have a chance to win the starting job in camp, but the Rams' offense is super conservative. They run first and throw a ton of short-yardage screens and hitches, so Goff or anyone else behind center won't have a lot of upside in 2016. Goff would be a low-end QB2 in single-year leagues.

NFL | Jalen Ramsey prefers cornerback
Wed, 27 Apr 2016 12:15:37 -0700
Florida State CB Jalen Ramsey said "corner" when asked what position he hopes to play in the NFL.

Happy Birthday! Grafenwoehr celebrates Army's 234th year
June 15, 2009
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany - Grafenwoehr Soldiers, families and community members gathered June 11 at the U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr Dining Facility to celebrate the Army's 234th birthday and commemorate the courageous acts of patriotism that enabled the United States Army to be born.
"It's important to celebrate the Army's birthday because, like all birthdays, it's a time of remembrance," said Capt. Ronald Underwood, USAG Grafenwoehr Headquarters and Headquarters Company commander. "It's especially important for these children to know what our ancestors have done, not just then, but all the major wars and battles that we've fought.
"Maybe one day it will inspire a future George Washington. These great men and women fought for what they believed in at great risk to themselves, to buy our freedom with their blood. It's one of those things that need to be retold and understood."
Underwood read "Sam, the Army Dog" to a crowd of more than 200 children, parents and staff at Netzaberg Youth Center.
The book was written specifically for this occasion and every child present was given a copy to take home.
Other activities at the Youth Center included crafts and a puppet show. Each child made a party hat and birthday card
for the celebration.
Earlier in the day, Grafenwoehr Dining Facility employees worked tirelessly to ensure that the Army birthday celebration was a success.
Amid the hustle and bustle of party preparations, Spc. James Dunn carefully put the finishing touches onto the birthday cake he has spent most of the week decorating.
"I'm always excited and always nervous to be asked to do a job like this," Dunn, who has been decorating cakes for the Army since 2002, said.
"It's a lot of work, a lot of detail. I did all the decorating myself. It's a lot of time and work to do a cake this size. It took me a total of three days to do it."
Festivities at the Army birthday celebration included lunch with speeches by Lt. Col. Sean Driscoll, USAG Grafenwoehr provost marshall, and Command Sgt. Maj. Darius Zagara, Joint Multinational Training Command command sergeant major.
A spirited rendition of "The Army Goes Rolling Along" followed with a cake-cutting ceremony where USAG Grafenwoehr Command Sgt. Maj. William Berrios, aided by Chaplain (Col.) Glen Woodson, 172nd Infantry Brigade, representing the oldest Soldier in the Army, and Pfc. Matthew Hedgecoth, 172nd Inf. Bde., representing the youngest, used sabers to cut the first piece.
As 2009 was named the Year of the Noncommissioned Office, this particular birthday has a special significance for Berrios.
"Non-commissioned officers are the backbone of this Army. NCOs are crucial to the success of our Army and have played an important role since the Revolutionary War. NCOs set the standard, and they enforce the standard of what the Army should be," he said.
At Army posts around the world, Soldiers and their families took time out to celebrate the Army's birthday, with the festivities coming to an end at the Army Birthday Ball held annually in Washington, D.C.
Since its birth on June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army has played a key role in the American military, taking part in every military conflict since the Revolutionary War.

Urban Bee Keeping Workshops at St Ermin's Hotel
Harvest time at the St Ermin's Hotel and the hard work of their 300,000 rooftop Buckfast bees is rewarded with honey-themed menus and cocktails throughout September. And, for the first time, this celebrated Westminster hotel is offering a series of urban bee keeping workshops hosted by bee guru Camilla Goddard of Capital Bee.
The 'Bees in the Burbs' taster workshops run at 2.30pm every Tuesday afternoon through September and cover bee basics; keeping, handling, safety, feeding and beehaviour, with introductory notes and planting list, a pot of St Ermin's Honey plus a honey cream tea or honey-themed cocktail.
Camilla Goddard believes it is vitally important that as many people as possible try to support honey bees, "choice of planting can have a positive impact and urban environments can be very attractive to colonies. By keeping just one hive you immediately introduce 50,000 pollinators into an urban area and that has a huge impact on the environment."
St Ermin's 'Bees in the Burbs' workshops cost from just £15 per head with no more than 12 people per two hour session. All bee handling equipment, protective suits - and bees - provided.
Buckfast Bees at St Ermin's Hotel
Two years after their arrival the St Ermin's Hotel bees are going from strength to strength – indeed Camilla has seen them doing their 'joy' dance this Summer. Over 300,000 Buckfast bees are now happily established on the hotel's rooftop and in a further three hives, safely viewable to guests on the wildflower third floor walkway. Flying a three-mile radius, the bees' central London location gives them access to some of London's most prestigious gardens and parks. Analysis of their late season honey shows that they gather their pollen from 53 astonishingly diverse types of plant flower; almost half Sweet Chestnut, with large proportions of Blackberry, Horse Chestnut, Elderflower, Mulberry and Water Lily pollens, plus Buddleia, White Clover and Myrtles.

Ray Arthur
On the call with me today are Mike Odell, Interim Chief Executive Officer of the company, Scott Webb, SVP Merchandising and Marketing, and our Controller, Sanjay Sood.
The format of the call is similar to those done by Pep Boys in the past. First Mike will provide opening comments regarding our results and priorities then I will review the second quarter and first half 2008 financial performance, balance sheet and cash flows. We'll then turn the call over to the Operator to moderate a question and answer session. The call will end at 9:30 Eastern Time.
Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that this conference call is governed by the language at the bottom of our press release concerning forward looking statements as well as SEC Regulation FD. In compliance with these regulations, we are web casting the conference call on investorcalendar.com. For anyone on the webcast who does not have the financial statements, you can access them on our website at PepBoys.com.
I will now turn the call over to Mike Odell, our Interim Chief Executive Officer.
Mike Odell
As you've seen we reported net income of $5.4 million for the second quarter 2008 and $10.1 million year to date as compared to $4.2 million and $7.4 million for the same periods last year. We are pleased with our progress on our strategic priorities but we are disappointed with our sales. In service, tires and maintenance have been stable categories for us but repair work has been challenging. We have seen customers repair only what is necessary to safely operate their vehicles rather than to improve its performance or to restore their vehicles to new like condition.
Execution of drive up service continues to improve as have our customer service scores but we know that we are not yet the customer focus company that we aspire to be. We also feel the effects of fewer miles driven. In commercial we have experienced a saleable shift in profitability due to our focus on parts in addition to tires, commodities, and equipment sales.
We added four commercial operations in the second quarter and we'll add 15 more in the second half of 2008 to end the year with commercial operations in 428 of our 562 stores. We have improved both or staffing and in stock to drive this business segment.
In retail our updated DIY parts categories have been fairly stable but accessories and personalization categories sales have been much softer than we planned and updates of these categories are still in progress.
Our biggest declines have been in the categories that we de-emphasized which are largely discretionary big ticket categories that are most susceptible to the effects of current economic conditions. Ray will walk you through the financial details including unusual items in a few minutes but first I'd like to share with you our progress on our strategic priorities.
We are in the midst of our business transformation to become a profitable customer focused automotive business. I'll organize my comments today around leadership, merchandise mix, marketing mix and store operation.
Regarding leadership, most recently we announced the addition of Bill Shull as our Senior Vice President of store operations. Bill assumes the majority of my former Chief Operating Officer responsibilities, most importantly daily leadership of our store team. Bill will spend most of his time in our stores leading our service, retail, and commercial team members in their role to make Pep Boys the automotive solutions provider of choice for value oriented customers.
Bill's deep automotive experience, passion and energy, coupled with his senior operating roles in other consultative retail environments make him especially qualified to lead our stores. Bill is a motivator and a store operator and his charge is to continue to drive the development of a store culture that develops our people, focuses on our customers and drives sales with intensity.
The other officer change this quarter is the addition of Bryan Hoppe, Vice President of Loss Prevention. Bryan also has deep automotive experience and brings a fresh store oriented perspective to help us improve our gross margin controls relative to shrink, point of sale activity and reverse logistics.
Regarding merchandising mix, this year we have devoted significant store labor to our sales floor transformation without incremental expense. This has been a huge undertaking and we remain on track to complete the sales floor moves by the start of the fourth quarter. Our stores now look like tires, parts and full service automotive centers consistent with our customers expectations. I want to personally thank each and every associate that continues to assist in this effort.
While this work needs to be done for the long term we recognize that it may have impacted our recent performance. Now our store team focus is on serving customers and selling complete solutions. In fact, we launch our Do It Right sales program in our stores this quarter to drive that focus.

Let's start with the bare basics of the Real Money Auction House or RMAH. Anyone who has played WoW, or for that matter the vast majority of modern day MMO's, is likely aware of the basic nature of online, game based, auction houses. Players can create auctions for various kinds of items found within the specific game they are playing. Other players can then bid or purchase these items with their accumulated game currency. Usually the auction house is the center of the player driven economy due to it being the most convenient public space through which players can conduct commerce. The RMAH takes the idea of a player economy a step further and introduces real currency transactions for the players. Blizzard certainly isn't the first to do so and they will not be the last. But D3's RMAH will be one of the biggest, most prevalent player to player micro-transaction systems ever implemented.
How it will all play it is subject to fairly wild speculation ranging from the ability to sustain a livable income through items sales, all the way to it being a complete bust after a month or two when no one needs anything that's being posted. It might be cliché but the reality is probably somewhere in the middle. Regardless, I don't call it wild speculation for nothing. The vast majority of the games content is a complete secret to anyone not working at Blizzard. What we do know is the how of various game systems including but not limited to the RMAH itself.
There is loads of information about the RMAH out on the interwebz and the information presented by Blizzard is fairly comprehensive. But in the interest of some brevity for the time constrained, here are some technical snippets worth knowing about the RMAH, Battle.net Balance and Paypal interaction:
- Players can only access RMAH's in their home region. Yes you can play in another region but you cannot use the RMAH in that region, ie someone in Asia cannot simply switch their region to the Americas and then interact with the RMAH.
- Speaking of Asia, there is not any RMAH in the Asia region currently.
- There are 6 unique and separate RMAH within the Americas region based upon different currencies.
- Of these 6, only 3 have the ability to transfer sales to Paypal accounts. (US, MXN and AUD).
- Different currency Battle.net Balances are not interchangeable and funds cannot be transferred between these Battle.net Balances.
- A posting fee is only deducted from auctions that sell. These fees are $1 per item or 15% for commodities.
- All auctions are 48 hours long. Item auctions can be cancelled for 5 minutes after posting. Commodity auctions can be cancelled at any time.
- There is a 10 auction limit per account.
- Choosing to deposit a successful sale into Paypal will result in a 15% transfer fee. This is 15% of the amount being transferred and not 15% of the original sale amount.
- To successfully transfer money to a Paypal account you must have and use the Mobile Alerts SMS authentication service provided by Battle.net.
- You can only use your Battle.net Balance to purchase approved digital products.
- To maintain a Battle.net Balance above $100 you must use an authenticator of some shape or form.
- $250 is the maximum amount your Battle.net Balance can hold.
In interesting news, Blizzard has announced that the RMAH, will not be available at launch. Instead it will open its digital commerce doors the following week or May 22nd for those keeping track. Their reasoning consists of wanting to avoid even the potential of D3 launch issues causing problems for the RMAH. In all fairness, does it really matter? Who would have been selling or purchasing much initially? Anything before Hell has questionable value and it'll be a bit before there are a lot of people working on Hell or Inferno content. Not to mention working on the content AND getting loot that they can sell instead of use/trade. So the impact of not having the RMAH available at launch is negligible while the risk, say if the servers were to crash or some part of the network developed a serious problem, might prove substantial. So as a whole it seems like a decision that's on the up and up for everyone without sinister or clandestine intentions.
That's all for today. Perhaps more droll then usually and certainly lacking in profanity and vulgar analogies compared to posts in the past. Regardless, fuck off and thanks for reading.

Authorities across East Tennessee have increased patrols for New Year's Eve.
Across the state, the Tennessee Highway Patrol is running its holiday no refusal campaign. The state's no refusal law allows officers to get search warrants for blood samples if they suspect a driver is impaired.
READ: Full list of checkpoint locations (PDF)
More troopers will be out targeting impaired drivers. Statewide, DUI arrests have climbed each of the past three years. Troopers will also be on the look out for people failing to buckle their seatbelts.
Other agencies are boosting their patrols on the road. The Knox County Sheriff's Office plans to have a bigger presence on the roads from nine o'clock Tuesday night until five Wednesday morning.
Driving intoxicated can hurt more than the people around you. Steven Oberman is a DUI Defense Attorney certified by the state of Tennessee. He said a DUI, even on it's first offense, can cost thousands of dollars.
"The cost involved can just grow and grow," said Oberman.
You also can lose your job having a DUI on your record. Oberman said they are permanently on your record in the state of Tennessee.
Anyone looking for a safe and free ride home can call Bradford Health Services. They've teamed up with West Knox Taxi to offer rides free of charge. You can call them at 1-888-577-0012.
AAA is also offering their Tow and Go services Tuesday night. You can call AAA, and they'll tow you and your car home or to a safe place within a 10-mile radius for free. You can call them at 1-800-234-1222.

Watch: Talk Shows React to Tebow's Move to New York
by Chris Pursell | March 22, 2012 at 10:47 PM | Celebrities, General
Tebow-mania is apparently in full swing… at least for the talk shows as "Today," "The Tonight Show" and "Late Night" were among the various series who felt the need to address the prospect of Tim Tebow now moving to New York to play for the Jets.
When Tebow initially started for the Denver Broncos fans during the NFL season, comedian Jimmy Fallon brought out his newest persona "Tebowie," a David Bowie-inspired singer who sang about none other than the quarterback. Now, with NFL great Peyton Manning leading the team, and Tebow traded to the New York Jets, Fallon brought Tebowie back to croon about the news and how Tebow "will rise again" with a modified version of "Ziggy Stardust."
Here's the clip…
"Talk about throwing a Christian to the Lions! said Jay Leno on "the Tonight Show" who then showed "workers" cleaning out a locker that included a painting of "The Last Supper."
Watch his take below…
On a more serious note, Matt Lauer told his "Today" counterparts that "Tebow-mania is going to strike this city."
The crew discussed the pros and cons of his arrival in New York. "A lot for the ladies to look at!" said Natalie Morales as a positive aspect of his move.
Did they think it was good for the city? Watch the video and find out…

|Another Bright Idea For Saving Money
How to save $120 with a $20 investment—a real no-brainer
See, I told you it was easy to make your house more energy efficient. Last month, we began a new series of columns on simple, low-cost steps you can take to make your home more energy efficient. In that column, I suggested that you buy an insulating blanket for your water heater. I assume that you have now followed that suggestion and, if you did, you will be saving at least a few dollars each month. If not, go back to last month's column before continuing with this one.
This month's improvement – compact florescent lights (CFLs) - should cost you less than $20. That's a small price to pay for what I believe is the greatest advancement in lighting since Thomas Edison's invention of the incandescent light bulb. In fact, they are so great that I just know that Thomas would be proud of us. When CFLs were first introduced, they cost about $9 each and blinked when they first came on. Well, since then, "they've come a long way, baby." If you buy them in the four-pack, they now cost about $3 each. For this month's improvement, I want you to buy at least four CFLs and install them in your most used locations. (In my house, that would be the garage door opener light). I am aware that they may not fit in some older appliances. They are available for recessed lighting, too, in both spotlight and floodlight designs.
So just what is the advantage of a CFL? First of all, the CFL uses two thirds less electricity than an equal-watt incandescent bulb. And since the CFL operates at a much lower temperature, they last much longer – in fact, they can last up to 10 times longer than a standard bulb. The filaments of the hotter burning incandescent bulbs simply burn out sooner because of the heat.
Next, consider this, 90 percent of the energy of incandescent bulb turns into heat and 10 percent goes for light. In a CFL, 90 percent of the energy goes for light and only 10 percent for heat. (See how this might help reduce your cooling load in the summer).
Now, for the really good part. By the time the CFL burns out, you will have saved at least what it cost you to buy the original four CFLs. By simply replacing a 100-watt incandescent build with a 32-watt CFL, you can save about $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. Now, let's see — $30 times four bulbs equals $120 saved. Duh – No-brainer!
Where can you get them? Many home improvement stores now have them and you can always check with your local electric cooperative. So, do yourself a favor and switch to CFLs.

Five months after welcoming his first baby Noah, actor Josh Lucas is enjoying the ups and downs of new parenthood.
While he calls fatherhood "a beautiful thing," the Lincoln Lawyer star admits that there have been plenty of challenging moments – like when he and his wife Jessica Henriquez recently attempted to sleep train their baby boy, which according to PEOPLE resulted in "a week of wailing."
"It was incredibly difficult. The child is enraged and hates you," Josh admits. "And yet you're totally sleep-deprived and amazed by the experience — even when he's screaming — of what you're going through."
No word on whether or not all of that screaming eventually led to more peaceful nights in the Lucas-Henriquez home.
So, when is a good time to start sleep training? Reading through the comments on Josh' PEOPLE interview, it seems that most people think that 5 months is a bit too early: "Sure every kid is different but NO 5 month old is ready for CIO," writes one.
Looking back, both of my girls were around the same age when we started letting them cry at night. For me, the mark of readiness was when I felt that they were able to soothe themselves somewhat – for my oldest that meant she was able to suck her thumb, while my youngest would (and still does, actually) suck on the corner of her lovey to get to sleep. I wouldn't say it was easy, but I never felt that they were "enraged" or hating me!
Did you "sleep train" your kids? If so, when did you start?
Sleep-training isn't for everyone. Some Hollywood parents prefer co-sleeping to crying it out. Here's a look at some famous fans of the family bed…
