Pump prices could be about to accelerate
Orange County gas prices jumped by 2 cents on Friday, just in time for the long holiday weekend, and analysts said that the increase may signal another run-up in prices to start the year.
The average gallon of regular unleaded was selling Friday for about $3.57 – almost exactly the same price as a year ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Last year, though, that price was a record high for this time of year, AAA spokeswoman Marie Montgomery said.
Pump prices had been falling after a spike in early October that shattered records and prompted congressional demands for an investigation. But prices have leveled out in recent days.
The wholesale price is what mom-and-pop gas stations pay for their supply; it's usually a good predictor of where pump prices are headed. And local wholesale prices have shot up by 40 cents since last week, according to AAA.
Gas stations might be able to absorb that increase without ratcheting up prices because there has been a cushion between the wholesale and retail rates. "However, if wholesale prices continue spiking, we could see some rapid price increases at gas stations in coming weeks," auto club spokesman Jeffrey Spring said in a statement.
Orange County's Friday price was 2 cents higher than the state average but 3 cents lower than what drivers were paying across the county line in Los Angeles. The San Luis Obispo area had the state's priciest gas, around $3.67 per gallon, according to the Fuel Gauge Report; the cheapest was in Modesto, $3.35 a gallon.

Ha! This will certainly change the vibe outside of The Barbary.
Nayberhod a concirt bar neding now. The Wiggles and other stars of scren. Liv natin says give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.
This probably will not go over well with the neighborhood. Also the barbary is going to hate this idea.. Although I live in the community and don't want to see it become an even more touristy area then it has become over the past years this idea is probably best for the area. That hell hole around frankford and delaware ave is terrible. At least now when I am walking at night in that area I won't always feel like I have to have my hand on my protection at all times..
"At least now when I am walking at night in that area I won't always feel like I have to have my hand on my protection at all times." Please tell me you're joking. That direct spot may be desolate but its far from dangerous.
Please… I sincerly doubt this place would transform Fishtown into Times Square over night.
I mean, come on, its Fishtown!
This is going to be fucking miserable. I live two blocks from where this mess is going. The only people this will appeal to are popped collar douchebags from the 'burbs that frequent Xfinity Live and other shrines to tackiness that are now being sold to us as "entertainment complexes." These places belong in the suburbs and shitty midwestern hellholes. They do not belong in a city.
Totally agree. I live around the corner from this site and this kind gimmicky crap has absolutely no place in Fishtown/Northern Liberties. "Bro-Liberties" is a term reserved for what happens (unfortunately) on Friday and Saturday nights, particularly during the summer, when the popped collar, teenie-bopper "ravers" drive their parents car downtown for a taste of city life. On a normal day the neighborhood is the absolute OPPOSITE of that crowd. PLEASE do not cater to these people. There's already that god awful western bar on 3rd Street just below Spring Garden that is literally PAINTED LIKE A COW. Put something that actually relates to the neighborhood into this space. It has so much potential to be something awesome, but honestly, I'd rather see it abandoned and vacant than with this.
Put that shit in Jersey where it belongs. I don't want to see the barbary start to overflow with Dane Cook fans who think 'fag' is a socially acceptable word for wimp.
Have you been to the Barbary lately ? It already does kinda blow. Only bros get down with paying $5 for a 12 oz PBR & watered down whisky shot when you can go to the El Bar and get a pounder for $3.50. It's still nasty whisky though. At least now the M Room looks like a half decent venue.
At least the homeless parks under I-95 won't be popping up in the summer any more. Two years ago it looked like a shanty-town out back of Ajax. Furniture, ramshackle "forts", trash, etc. Nothing like parking in front of that beautiful church and seeing some bum in a winter coat in August pissing on a parked car.

Remember to thank him the next time your GPS gets you someplace! He is the unrivaled scientific superstar of the 20th century. Explore Albert Einstein the man, both his complex personality and his scientific side. Einstein did not believe in a personal God who interacted with man. However, he did believe that a divine design was reflected in the laws that governed the way that the universe worked. What did he really think about all the ramifications of today's technology? What was it that made him fear that the day would come when technology and the Internet would surpass human emotion and interaction?

Is this Pippa's New York pad? Middleton sister eyes up lavish Manhattan building where apartments can cost up to $17million
She certainly hit the Big Apple with a bang during her last high-profile visit.
And now Pippa Middleton has fuelled further rumours that she plans to set up home in Manhattan after taking an interest in a lavish multi-million dollar apartment complex that overlooks Central Park.
The younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was seen having a meeting with a high-end realtor who was planning sales for a sensational building when she was in New York last month.
Moving to the Big Apple? Pippa Middleton seen 'house-hunting' in New York last month
The development is currently sold out of one and two bedroom properties, and the only apartments available are three-bedroom properties, which are on sale for $17 million.
She was seen pictured entering a residential building in Manhattan, accompanied by a woman described as a realtor.
Opulent: Apartments at the posh complex boast sprawling views of the city
And a source told Mail Online: 'When Pippa was here a few weeks ago, she went into a building on East 57th street and had a meeting with a high-end realtor who was planning sales for a mega property in the city.'
The complex boasts a 'screening and performance room', a swimming pool and private fitness centre and yoga studio as well as a library with billiards table and 24-foot aquarium, alongside an arts and crafts atelier room.
Will Pippa be waking up to this view? The views over Central Park
Pippa will likely be spending more time in the U.S. as she promotes her upcoming book, Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends.
Whether or not an apartment in the block is out of her price range remains to be seen.
But she already appears to have fallen in with an elite crowd.
In an opulent welcome hotelier Andre Balazs, who is reportedly worth more than $450 million and owns some of the most fashionable hotels in the country, including Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, squired the brunette around town.
Will Pippa be sleeping in the city that never sleeps?
He flew her by seaplane - a trip that costs $525 for a single journey - to his resort, Sunset Beach, on Shelter Island.
And Pippa was then spotted at the Electric Room at Dream Downtown in the Meatpacking district with former New York Ranger Sean Avery.
Made for Manhattan: Pippa and a friend as they were believed to be looking at New York properties last month
With her groomed locks on display, she then attended day nine of the U.S. Open as a guest of Roger Federer, seated next to dark-haired, 6ft 3in Spencer Vegosen, 24, a Harvard graduate and accomplished tennis player and the son of the president of the U.S.Tennis Association.
According to the New York Post, 'there was definite chemistry between the pair'.
Friends in high places: Miss Middleton was seated next to Spencer Vegosen, the handsome son of the president of the U.S.Tennis Association, at the U.S. Open
The couple then enjoyed a lavish dinner at the Le Bernardin restaurant, which is famous for its seafood.
She did allow for a little down-time, hitting Central Park for a spot of rollerblading and an iced coffee with some friends.
She was believed to be staying at the Carlyle Hotel located in the Upper East Side, where Roger Federer also has a suite, where rooms start at $600 and reach $15,000 - without taxes.

January 7, 2014 11:03 am
Greenland Holdings Group, the Chinese state-owned real estate developer, has bought a historic brewery site in southwest London from developer Minerva, in its first UK deal.
Minerva won planning permission last summer for 661 new homes on the Ram Brewery site in Wandsworth, including a 36-storey residential tower. The £600m, 90,000 sq ft scheme will also include new shops, restaurants and bars, and a microbrewery.
The existing buildings, formerly the home of brewery and pub chain Young & Co, will be restored to create a brewing museum. The Ram site is reputed to be Britain's oldest continually operating brewing site, with activity dating back to the 16th century.
Asian property companies have been rushing to invest in London in recent months. Hong Kong billionaire Henry Cheng Kar-Shun bought Quintain out of its Greenwich Peninsula site for £186m in November, while Chinese investor Xu Weiping has ambitious plans to redevelop the Royal Albert Docks site in east London. Chinese developer Zhongrong Group is aiming to build a replica of south London's Crystal Palace, the Victorian attraction.
Jones Lang LaSalle and Savills acted for Minerva. Guy Grainger, UK chief executive of JLL, said the deal was "a landmark transaction for the London residential market".
"The deal further highlights London as the number one destination for international capital," he said.
Greenland has about 600m sq ft of commercial and residential space under construction in 80 Chinese cities, and projects in South Korea, Thailand, Australia and the US. It acquired the Atlantic Yards site in Brooklyn, New York, in October in the largest Chinese-backed US commercial real estate deal to date.
Little-known outside its home country, Greenland Holdings was founded in 1992 and has risen to become one of the most international and ambitious of China's property companies
Minerva was acquired by a consortium led by investment group Delancey and private equity firm Area Property in 2011
Paul Goswell, Delancey's managing director, said: "Since acquiring Minerva two years ago, we have worked hard to comprehensively redesign the original scheme, which culminated in planning consent being secured in December. Our strategy had been to implement the scheme ourselves, possibly with a partner, but that changed when Greenland made their unsolicited proposal."
Zhang Yuliang, chairman and president of Greenland, said: "London is the global financial centre as well as the most open and diversified city that enjoys the most mature economic development, making it the first option for our investment in Europe."
British trade promotion body UKTI lobbied the Chinese to attract the investment along with London mayor Boris Johnson. Lord Livingston, minister for trade and investment, said: "I am delighted to welcome the first UK acquisition from Greenland and that UKTI has helped make this happen, in partnership with the mayor of London's office and other organisations."

Obamas plan 20-day, $4 million vacation...during Time of Fiscal Cliff hitting US Economy
Poster Handle
Post Content
Personally I don't think you should get a "vacation" when you're the President and DEFINITELY not on the taxpayer's dime.
As president, you have 8 years max to put into this thing. That's not a lot of time - why would you want to squander any of it? There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself and relax along the way or at other times in your life. It is called service to our country....
Very limited personal sacrifice of 4-8 years for the good of our country. If you or your family don't agree to it, you shouldn't have signed on...
BTW, I also believe no one with kids under 18 has any business being President for the same reason. How can someone who puts personal ambition above the best interests of their kids be good for the country. That covers BOTH parties...
Not caring much for Obama and his plans though, 4 mill is a small price to pay to take him out of the game for 3 weeks....

Tragic sadness to school ball photo
Relevant offers
There was a fine moment on the night of September 22 when an elegant Erin Barter posed for a photo next to dapper Joshua Tanuvasa at the Hamilton Girls' High School senior ball.
The photo of the best-dressed male and female has developed a tragic sadness since that day.
Last Monday, Erin, 18, died after a battle with cancer.
Two days later, Joshua, a seemingly fit and healthy 17-year-old, died after collapsing at Les Mills gym.
Erin was farewelled last Thursday at Waikato University's Lady Goodfellow Chapel.
"I can understand why she got the belle of the ball," Erin's grieving mother Corinne Nicholson said.
"She looked beautiful. Absolutely stunning on the night and her beautiful ballgown - it was one of her best nights."
Family in Britain couldn't believe how radiant Erin looked in spite of the acute myeloid leukaemia that was progressively destroying her bone marrow.
Erin had been a sporty, healthy girl, Ms Nicholson said.
In 2010 she tackled the Huntly Half Marathon and she was particularly passionate about adventure racing.
It was while training last year that she started to become unusually lethargic.
Ms Nicholson thought it was glandular fever but on October 10 a doctor diagnosed Erin with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
She soldiered through major chemotherapy to destroy the cancer cells and in February underwent a stem-cell transplant.
Things got better. Her health improved. She flourished, Ms Nicholson said.
But in July, she relapsed.
And this time the cancer was far more aggressive.
"She wasn't supposed to see her 18th birthday or meet her niece but thank God she fought the battle right to the end and reached many milestones."
The ball was one of them.
Although Ms Nicholson said it was the night of Erin's life, there's a melancholy about her in the ball photo.
Joshua on the other hand looks every bit the young man his friends and family have been describing since his death - loving, caring.
A young man who held his mum closest to his heart.
Ms Nicholson was shocked to hear of his death.
"We were looking on Facebook the other evening and I couldn't quite understand it. I thought someone had made a mistake, then I had phone calls the following morning. I thought, 'My goodness that poor family'. My heart goes out to them too. With losing Erin, at least I had some warning."
One of Joshua's many friends, Hayley Waretine, will be one of more than 1000 mourners expected at his funeral at the Gateway Christian Centre this afternoon.
Hayley tracked down Joshua's hired ball suit and, after hearing his story, staff sold it for $350 - the jacket alone was worth $600.
Today he'll be farewelled, then buried in it.

The Mayor and Councillors do not handle money; the city administration does
Dear Editor,
I am appalled to read the letters penned in the media by Minister Clement Rohee and the past and present local government ministers. I usually feel a sense of impatience when these gentlemen lay blame at the feet of the Mayor and Councillors of the city. I would like to make it clear to these gentlemen and the public as a whole, that the Mayor and Councillors do not handle any money, especially the monies which they are claiming were given
and which must be given to the city council.
The handling of money is the sole responsibility of the City Hall administration, therefore, the blame for any mismanagement and inability to execute the maintenance works of the council, must be laid squarely at the head, body and feet of the administration, which they are attempting to use so that they can control and micro-manage the city through the back door. Editor, at no time whatsoever, did the Mayor and Councillors mismanage the council. I cry shame on these gentlemen's pronouncements. But according to my experience from years of being a councillor, I have concluded that the government is starving the council for funds not because of mismanagement and inability, but because Mr Hamilton Green is the elected mayor of the city. If it was not for Mr Green, however, the city councillors would have been replaced already by an interim management committee (IMC).
Yours faithfully,
Anthony 'Trini' Boyce
City Councillor

Why is everyone saying IF this is true...?
Can't say I liked the guy, I was always quick to trash him but this is sad. Wouldn't wish this on anybody. This is why everyday I get on my bike I pray.
Hope P.Will makes it out of this. As a fellow biker, prayers to you bro.

Horrible news. I hope Paul can make a recovery from this. This is the reason I won't go near motorcycles. Had 2 friends in the service who died in accidents and 1 friend who got seriously injured. I won't lie I'm afraid to be on the things.

The Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians
William Barclay$16.95Add Your ReviewPaul wrote the letter to the Galatians to refute a belief that restricted God's grace to those alone who followed Jewish ritualistic law.

John Drane, William Barclay, Ronnie Barclay$16.95Add Your ReviewThe letters of John and Jude deal with heretical teachings within the early Church. In 1 John the problem was Gnoticism-a view that the material world is evil-and according to Barclay, a view that still infects the thinking of some of today's Christians. Second and 3 John co...

The Letters of John
Bill T. Arnold, David W. Baker, Gary M. Burge$24.99Add Your ReviewMost Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century.

The Letter to the Romans
William Barclay$16.95Add Your ReviewBoth in mood and in method, Romans is an entirely different epistle that Paul's other writings.

What I've listened to so far is good an you can listen here

He's got some great spoken word stuff and a lot of technical ability but usually his song songs I just can't get into.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Badgeville, the #1 gamification and behavior management platform, today announced the launch of Badgeville Embed, a new product offering that enables technology and software providers to increase user engagement by 50% or more with their applications and reduce customer churn. Embed introduces OEM Networks, making it seamless for technology providers to manage engagement mechanics for thousands of customers.
The need for gamification has been indisputable: due to a lack of user engagement, half of software applications are not adopted by end-users, causing nearly $500 billion in unused software investments globally.[1] As users fail to utilize their products, software providers lose customers, creating missed revenue opportunities. According to a recent SaaS report by Goldman Sachs, a 2 percent increase in customer retention can improve a software provider's enterprise value by up to 20 percent.
"The integration of gamification concepts such as motivation and rewards often improves the usage of enterprise applications," says Alan Lepofsky, VP of Constellation Research. "Organizations of all sizes can use these features to enhance customer engagement as well as drive employees to get their jobs done more effectively. With the introduction of Badgeville Embed, Badgeville has made it easier for software vendors to add these engagement mechanics into their products without a lot of development effort. With gamification added, products often see greater adoption rates since people are more excited to use them."
Companies such as Saba, CallidusCloud, and Socialtext have leveraged Badgeville Embed to build more engaging user experiences with their products.
Badgeville Embed Partner Testimonials
Saba is the industry's leading provider of social software for team collaboration, enterprise learning and social talent management.
"For Saba customers, it is absolutely critical that the Saba People Cloud be a highly engaging environment they can depend on to meet their business objectives – and gamification techniques have always been central to our accomplishing this goal," said Ben Willis, Sr. Director of Product Strategy at Saba. "After careful consideration, we determined that partnering with Badgeville to integrate game mechanics into our product was cost-effective, scalable, and an excellent extension to our native gaming capabilities. Our Badgeville Embed integration allows our world-class customer-base to gamify their offerings quickly and effectively."
"Getting gamification right is a complex technical and design challenge. We're partnering with Badgeville because they understand gaming dynamics in deep, strategic ways that fundamentally change behavior in the enterprise. Badgeville Embed is the only offering in the space with the capability to scale, manage and analyze behaviors for our large user base," said Michael Idinopulos, General Manager of Socialtext
"Offering gamification capabilities directly in our offering is a big differentiator for our leading social sales platform. Gamification requires complex capabilities to create rewards and incentives that are meaningful to users. Partnering with Badgeville on this initiative has allowed us to get to market significantly faster and deploy the best of breed technology with minimal investment," said Rory Cameron, SVP of Corporate Development & Alliances at CallidusCloud
Badgeville Embed helps technology providers avoid the complexity of developing advanced, customized reward systems their customers need to engage their users. Layering game, reputation, and social mechanics similar to those utilized by Facebook and popular social games right on top of their own assets, product professionals can drive, influence and reward valuable user behaviors across their applications that encourage more repeat visits and overall customer retention.
"Badgeville Embed represents a huge milestone for both gamification and the traditional software industry as we know it," says Kris Duggan, Badgeville's CEO. "Now, product teams can incorporate proven engagement techniques right into the flow of their applications, driving desired user behaviors that maximizes customer value and boosts their renewal rates."
Key features and benefits for Badgeville Embed include:
- OEM Networks. Embed features OEM Networks, making it seamless for technology providers to manage engagement mechanics for all their clients in one unified interface.
- Robust enterprise security and access. Badgeville Embed features multiple levels of user access, giving technology providers granular control over who can access and modify information in the Behavior Engine Admin Console and apply engagement mechanics to their core products.
- In-depth Behavior Insights. With Badgeville Embed leveraging rich Behavior Analytics & Data, technology providers can better understand how users leverage their applications to complete a business process or connect with colleagues, improving their ability to build a better user experience.
- Robust Behavior Management in Days. Create an engagement program that enables you to manage behavior and apply engagement mechanics to your business applications. Rather than spending months custom building this functionality, you can be up-and-running in days without custom coding.
Launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in Q4 2010, Badgeville has grown into not only the leading gamification platform in the world, but also one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in Silicon Valley. The company has raised a total of $40M, including a $25M Series C led by InterWest Partners announced in May of 2012. Badgeville also recently expanded its global offices to EMEA to support customers in over 20 countries worldwide.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.
