They claim that they make their money on the financing of the vehicle. I was going to set up an add with them, I gave them my credit card info and I was supposed to send them pictures of my 2005 Custom Chopper Motorcycle and I was supposed to sign a contract with them.
A couple days later I found somebody interested in purchasing my motorcycle so I didn't send them any pictures and I never filled out or signed a contract. I sold my motorcycle on 7-13-05.
I noticed that my credit card had been charged and I contacted one stop motors to find out why and that I wanted it credited back to my card. They refused to do so. I reminded them that the $299.00 was to cover the advertising and we never set anything up.
The declined my request. One stop motors said that they had taken their time to get it started and that I would have to meet six requirements in order to be entitled to a refund. I met my requirements and got no response.

AUTHOR: Tim - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 29, 2006POSTED: Wednesday, March 29, 2006
OSM does indeed have corporate level affiliations with major on-line advertisers such as Yahoo and Ebay as well as Google, MSN, AltaVista and others. We use all of these resources to advertise our client's vehicles depending upon the package that they purchase.
OSM also does provide access to financing for the potential buyers and we do indeed make money on the back end of the financing. OSM collects a finder's fee on each financing application that results in a completed contract. This is the same with all of the automobile dealers in the country.
Jason freely admits that he gave his credit card information to purchase an advertising package for his 2005 Custom Chopper Motorcycle and he claims he was supposed to send in photos and sign a contract with OSM. OSM does provide an Advertising Confirmation Document (ACD) to all of our clients detailing each party's responsibilities in the advertising of the client's vehicle. As this is a telephone transaction, there are no signatures required. The act of giving a form of payment constitutes a purchase.
Jason also admits that a couple of days went by when he found someone to buy my motorcycle so he claims that this is the reason that he never sent in photos or signed a contract. In actuality and by his own admission again, he did not sell his motorcycle until July 13, 2005. More than two weeks after buying an advertising package from OSM. Unlike some advertising companies out there OSM does not waste our client's time in putting together an advertisement for the client. If the client has not sent photos by the time OSM is ready to add them, one of the services that we provide is that we add a stock photo to the ad until the pictures arrive. This was done in Jason's case and his advertising campaign was completed.
Jason then noticed that my credit card had been charged. What did he expect? He purchased and advertising package and the work was done. He claims to have contacted OSM to find out why and to say that I wanted it credited back to my card. He claims that OSM refused to do so. This is correct as OSM did indeed provide each and every service that he purchased a full two full weeks before he sold his motorcycle. He claims to have reminded us that it was for advertising and that we never set anything up. He is incorrect. When his information was collected at the time he gave his credit card payment, his advertising was set up.
Jason then claims that we told him that he had to meet six requirements in order to receive a refund. He is correct. OSM was the ONLY company that EVER offered a 30 day money back guarantee. There were six requirements that had to be met in order to qualify for the refund. Jason claims that he met these requirements and that he got no response. This is incorrect. If indeed he had sent in the proper documentation he would have received a prompt refund. To date this information has not been received in our office. In fact, if he can send it in to this day I will personally ensure that he receives his refund. He may send it to my attention at One Stop Motors. My information is below.
In short, Jason received everything he purchased and even had a 30 day money back guarantee to back it up. He currently has not provided the documentation to support his request for a refund, however, as I stated before, I will honor that request for him once the proper documentation is received. Due to clients actually sending in forged State documents in order to get refunds that they were not entitled to, OSM has had to discontinue this guarantee.
I invite anyone to call or email me personally to answer their questions or concerns they may have regarding One Stop Motors.

I think I must warn you: get your hot drink of choice before wandering through this wedding; you are going to be here a while. It is one of the most breathtaking mountain weddings I have seen. Beth and Tomu lined up a dream team for their Sundance wedding with the amazing Sara Winward of Honey of a Thousand Flowers doing the florals and Alixann Loosle documenting the day. I was fortunate enough to be able to work with this fabulous couple and their amazing team of creatives, headed up by Ashley Lloyd with Attention2Detail event planning. I posted their invitations here a little while back.
Rainy days can be stressful for couples who are planning outdoor ceremonies. They can also be the most stunning days to get married on, as was the case with Beth and Tomu. To me, it was the perfect day. Overcast skies, the delicious smell of rain and evergreens, the rich wood tones and soft shades of grey in the dresses. There was a lot of back and forth between Beth and Ashely, and lots of folks checking their iPhones for the latest weather updates. When four o'clock arrived, though, the final votes were cast and their beautiful wedding was set up on the lawn. They really couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon.

I Used To Love H.E.R.
by Common
"I Used to Love H.E.R." is built on an extended metaphor. Common uses the story of an imaginary girl he once loved to talk about the evolution of hip-hop music and culture. And he definitely gets across his message; he thinks hip-hop has taken a few wrong turns. Some of the detours he identifies have to do with the music itself, but a lot of them have to do with how obsessed hip-hop had become, in Common's eyes, with a superficially flashy lifestyle.
Style and image are a huge part of this lifestyle that Common talks about. Style is a way of expressing systems of belief, like Afrocentricity. When Common writes about how the woman in his song trades in her old hairstyle for "braids, beads, and medallions," he's supportive of her showing her beliefs through fashion choices. When hip-hop starts to be all about image without substance, though, Common gets critical: "Stressin' how hardcore and real she is / She was really the realest, before she got into showbiz." The more attention she pays to the authenticity of her image, the less real she becomes.
Common also sexualizes "H.E.R." in an effort to address the moral corruption that he sees in the mainstream. This is where things get a little more complicated. Common's sexualization of hip-hop works for his metaphor in part because of a sexual double standard. Women are generally afforded less sexual freedom than men by Western society. (We talk a lot about that double standard in our discussion of Beyonce's "Single Ladies.")
Common makes a point by using one of gangsta raps more superficial aspects, hot girls in tight clothes, against it. The lines in "I Used to Love H.E.R." that discuss "H.E.R." sexuality are borderline satirical. Common talks about being attracted to the woman because she's so real and down-to-earth; he says that she's "pure, untampered." Later, as her tastes change and she goes mainstream, he's worried that the number of men she's had sex with has contributed to how she's changed: "I did her, not just to say that I did it / But I'm committed, but so many n!@@#$ hit it / That she's just not the same lettin' all these groupies do her."
Whoa. The message is clear: Common is saying that he still loves hip-hop enough to make music of his own, but at the same time, he thinks that all the people making sub-par music have watered down the genre. Those people aren't committed to hip-hop culture as a way of life and as a way of bettering the world; they're just cashing in. And on the surface, Common is talking about a woman being less real and less interesting because she's had sex with too many people, which touches on the objectification of women in gangsta rap. The way he's phrased it, her sexual life is also totally passive, because she's just "lettin' all these groupies do her." Getting his message across relies on his audience judging the woman for the decisions she's made in her sex life.
Imagine if the song were called "I Used to Love H.I.M.," though. Would the sexualized aspect of "H.I.M." work the same way? Could Common portray moral corruption by saying that a male rapper let too many of his female fans sleep with him? What do you think? We're really, genuinely asking, because this is an interesting and important question.
A 2009 interview with the LA Times in which Common discusses his style includes the following quote: "Wearing limited-edition pieces or obscure brands 'is almost like having a woman in your life who hasn't been all over town.'" That last part is a quote from Common himself. This is the same sentiment expressed in "I Used to Love H.E.R."; it's the belief that a woman is more valuable the more exclusive she is.

Ask any marketing manager, launch strategy presentations today are always incomplete without a sincere pitch for full-page launch advertisements, airtime on the highest TRP shows, placement in prime time soaps and a celebrity endorser. However, I see the real media bombardment happening elsewhere. It's Bollywood, with its own celebrities who are on a media rampage.
Bollywood star cast's insatiable appetite for publicity has always amazed me. But the kind of jostling I have seen over the last few months have left me baffled. It was hilarious when Shah Rukh Khan willingly lent his sound bites to a television channel last month, for something, which was out of ordinary, even though we have seen stars lending their appeal for social causes.

U.S. RE Launches Underwriting Management Group Names Shuttleworth President
U.S. RE Companies, Inc has launches an underwriting management subsidiary and named J. Sterling Shuttleworth President and Chief Executive Officer.
Uni-Ter Underwriting Management Corporation (UUMC) is a wholly owned subsidiary that will serve to expand the U.S. RE Group's underwriting management activities. U.S. RE also holds a majority interest in AMG/Quadrant Insurance Managers which is affiliated with Assurex International, the world's third largest retail broker network.
Mr. Shuttleworth, a senior executive with 35 years' experience in all aspects of property/casualty insurance, will head Uni-Ter Underwriting Management. He will report directly to Mr. Piccione. UUMC will operate from headquarters in Atlanta, GA. The Company will specialize in property/casualty insurance for nursing homes and other health care facilities. UUMC will offer professional liability, property damage, general liability, workers' compensation, and other coverages required by health care providers.
"Activation of Uni-Ter Underwriting Management Corporation represents another major move into the underwriting management sector by U.S. RE," said Tal P. Piccione, Chairman. "Sterling Shuttleworth has the experience and leadership qualities to create a successful enterprise that will provide an important new market for clients in the health care arena. He has a tremendous reputation among insurers and reinsurers," Mr. Piccione added.
"I'm pleased to be affiliated with the U.S. RE Group and welcome the opportunity to build a strong underwriting management operation that will benefit from synergy with other units of U.S. RE," Mr. Shuttleworth said.
UUMC's insurance programs will be distributed through a network of highly qualified brokers, agents, and other service providers. The Company also will facilitate alternative risk transfer mechanisms for clients with specialized requirements. In addition, UUMC will offer claims management services.

Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor looks to set to come back into the Tottenham squad this weekend for their Premier League fixture against Wigan.
The former Manchester City marksman has been struggling with a back injury but his manager Andre Villas Boas confirmed that he will be available for selection, for the game at White Hart Lane this weekend.
The Spurs boss has called for the player to be patient in his return. It had been speculated that there was a rift between the player and manager but AVB was quick to also play this down.
However, it is clear that Jermain Defoe has left an impression on his manager with Adebayor not guaranteed a place in the starting XI.
AVB went on to tell ESPN : "Ade has returned to training and he will be available for the Wigan game.
"The trouble has been that he has not played so much this season, mainly because of injury. He missed six games for a period and then two more recently.
"Whenever he came on he did well and he wants to be part of the team, but Jermain Defoe is doing well. In nine Premier League games, he has five goals. This is the kind of goalscoring ability that you want for your team."
Despite Adebayor maybe having to wait, AVB was quick to clarify the position of one of his defenders Steven Caulker.
"I'm extremely happy with him. He is 20-years-old and doing extremely well, coping with the best strikers in the world, Torres, Rooney, Van Persie," AVB said.
The Portuguese boss also played down the significance of the Serbian police charging Caulker after the brawl at the end of the England Under-21s' Euro 2013 play-off last month.
Can someone tell me why Dawson is not playing, also where is Kabule, last season they were the back bone of a good defence
Dawson aint playing because he is too slow for AVB style of play, and Kabul is injured,the defence had Parker covering last season,and thats why Walker is making mistakes, get Kabul back, Scotty back to team up with Sandro, allowing walker to go up field knowing he has cover,thats when the defence will be sorted better than last season
is just me that see defoe needs 10 shots to get 1 goal, he is just greedy and wont pass if there are better options,Ade is the better player, a team player who scores goals but always looks for the assist as well,thats the part of defoes game that doesnt exist, bring Ade back ASAP,

Can't Figure Out This Decrease
Hi, I'm knitting a hat in a lace cable pattern with a multiple of 11 stitches, I'm using 110 specifically and I can't figure out how to decrease this. The pattern goes like this:
R1: k
R2: yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo k6
R3: k
R4: yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, slip next 3 stitches to dpn and hold 3 in back; k3, then k3 from dpn; k1
R5: k
R6: yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo, k6
R7: k
R8: yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k8
If anyone has any ideas on how best to decrease this I would appreciate the help because I'm going craaaazzzzyy!
Hopefully someone with a lot more experience will come on and tell you what to do I am not sure with the sl-K2tog-Psso if they want you to slide one over knit 2tog then go back and pass the if stitch back? Its a tricky decrease.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drv2kFcPm2U yo at beginning of a row
I tried it with slipping the first st, it worked.
What part of the instructions are you having trouble with? I left it waiting for someone else w/more experience also. It looks to me as though the decreases are as written...I've not worked it.
Very pretty pattern. To decrease for the crown of the hat you're going to have to give up either the lace pattern or the cable pattern first. It's really a matter of preference for you.
If you decide to maintain the cables as long as possible, then do the decreases every other round within the 5 lace sts. You'd have to change these 5 lace sts to either all purl or all knit sts. Eventually the decreases will eat into the cable pattern too but this will be further up the crown.
If you decide to give up the cable you could maintain knit sts over these 6sts as you decrease. Decrease as k2tog or ssk every 9sts on the first round (work 9sts, k2tog), then every 8sts on round 3, every 7 on round 5 etc. Eventually this will eat into the lace pattern and you'll have to go to knit sts here too.
Oh gosh, sorry for the confusion guys the part of the pattern that I posted is the body of the hat, it's not a decrease at all, how to decrease is what I couldn't figure out.
- Salmonmac: Thank you, I don't know why it didn't occur to me that I couldn't have both, I think I'll keep the cables going and drop the lace.
Also to those that have said that you can't yo for a first stitch, is there a reason why, I'm a self taught knitter with a lot to learn but I yo first stitches in the round all the time, should I not be?
In the round the yarn overs become part of the knit fabric. For knitting flat, you actually can yarn over at the beginning of the row and there are patterns that use this instruction. The link that GG posted shows an nice example of this kind of pattern. So keep on with your yo's!

Conducting a short warm-up before a tennis lesson or workout is a must even if your players are beginners. Beginner-level warm-up activities or games don't require a lot of skill, but they can be effective in physically preparing your players for the task. While some games are designed to elevate your players' heart rate, get their blood flowing and increase their flexibility, other activities help your players warm-up their strokes and improve their skills.
Relay Games
A relay game can be used as a warm-up and can also help improve the hand-eye skills of your players. Divide your players into two teams of two or more players and have the teams line up behind the baseline. Give each player a tennis ball and on your signal, the first player in each line walks or runs to the net and back as fast as he can while bouncing the ball down on the court with his racket. When the player gets back to the baseline, the next player goes. When all players in a team have had a turn, that team wins the relay. A variation is to have players bounce the ball up in the air with their rackets.
Fast and Furious
Your players can warm up with a timed speed and agility competition. Place a cone at each net post and each back corner of the court where the baseline meets the doubles sideline. Have the first player start at the "T" -- where the center service line and the service line meet. On your signal, start your stop watch, have her run as fast as she can to the cone at the right net post, touch the cone and return to the "T." Have her run to the cone at the left net post, touch the cone and return to the "T." Your player continues to each back corner cone, returning the "T" after each touch. Stop your watch when she returns to the "T" after touching the last cone. The next player takes a turn and tries to record a faster time. Continue until all players have had a turn. The fastest player is the winner.
Target Practice
Warm-ups should also include games where players warm up their strokes. This game requires four players. Use chalk and draw a 2-foot circle in the middle of each service box. Have each player stand 2 feet behind a circle. Players can only hit the ball to the player straight ahead, across the net. Have the players on one side of the net start a rally by dropping a ball and tapping it over the net. If the ball lands in the circle during the rally, the player who hit the ball scores a point. Players continue to rally balls back and forth, scoring a point each time the ball lands in the correct circle. After 10 minutes, the player with the most points wins the game.
Personal Best
With four or fewer players, this game gives your players an opportunity to hit many balls and warm up their strokes. Have one of your players stand on the middle of the baseline. Stand 6 to 8 feet in front of him with a ball hopper that holds a minimum of 150 balls. Underhand toss a ball toward his forehand. If he hits the ball over the net, have him shuffle back to middle of the baseline and then toss a ball toward his backhand. If he hits it over the net, have him shuffle back and then toss a ball to his forehand. Continue tossing balls to his forehand and backhand until he makes an error. Have him keep track of the number of balls he hits over the net. Repeat with each player and give each player multiple turns. The goal is for your players to beat their previous number for a new personal best number.

None of the above too slow............we have Woodgate and Dawson already.
Someone with pace as a understudy to Ledley is wots needed. Ledley will play once a week in the EPL like the last 6 months of last season.

NEW DELHI: Sugar futures today fell by Rs 21 to Rs 3,459 per quintal as speculators trimmed positions on increased supplies in the physical market following the government's measures to check the sweetener's price.
Besides, fall in demand in the spot markets at current prices also weighed on the sentiment.
At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, sugar for delivery in September traded lower by Rs 21, or 0.60 per cent, to Rs 3,459 per quintal, with an open interest of 42,940 lots.

Both Weak and Positive Data Highlight U.K. Economic Frailty
Two U.K. data releases Wednesday morning. On the face of it, two very different outcomes.
The British Bankers Association said net mortgage lending fell in May for the first time since records began in 1997, weighed down by weak confidence among banks, consumers and businesses amid the deepening euro zone crisis and difficulties in keeping U.K. government costs in check.
And, mortgage approvals also dropped back, exacerbating the poor outlook for the housing market.
The Confederation of British Industry, meanwhile, reported retail sales surged in June as the Queen's Jubilee celebration tempted consumers back to the high street, providing a much-needed boost to stores.
So, on the one hand consumers' appetite to take on substantial and increasingly more expensive mortgage debt weakened, but their ability to spend on less expensive goods in order to celebrate over a four-day weekend rose.
But, on further inspection, the CBI figures were not as upbeat as you might expect. The data were weak for the time year, the survey showed, and the increased volumes are not expected to last.
"It is notable that sales were still considered to be below par for the time of year," said Judith McKenna, chair of the CBI distributive trades panel and Asda chief operating officer. "Weak consumer confidence and uncertainty over the economic outlook are still putting a brake on consumer spending across the whole retail sector."
And it is that weak confidence which is key to the recovery–or lack thereof–of the recession hit U.K. economy.
So, both sets of data actually highlight the weakness of the U.K. economy; it's just that the details of one do it more clearly than those of the other.
"May's mortgage lending data were unambiguously weak and offered further grounds for concern about the impact that the escalating euro-zone crisis is having on both U.K. confidence and credit conditions," said Ed Stansfield, chief property economist for Capital Economics.
The government and Bank of England are working hard to inject some much needed cash and confidence into the economy with what they hope will be the speedy implementation of a new lending fund.
But, if the euro zone banking crisis continues to deepen, the negative effect on the U.K. will likely increase and confidence will struggle to pick up. These factors combined could mean the second part of the double-dip recession lasts even longer than the first.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A plan to award a nearly $9 million contract to build a west end of the new Interstate 40 Crosstown that connects the interstate to downtown Oklahoma City is among the items scheduled for consideration by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission.
The commission will hold its regular monthly meeting Monday at the R.A. Ward Transportation Building in Oklahoma City.
Department of Transportation Director Mike Patterson is also expected to brief the panel on a recent study by a national group that highlights the agency's progress in reducing the number of structurally deficient highway bridges.
Patterson will also update the commission on how the department is continuing to help with storm recovery efforts following the May tornadoes.
ODOT field divisions also will be recognized for their tornado-cleanup efforts.

There are those rare individuals who somehow have the grace and dignity to carry themselves in life with class and courage. On Monday, Hawaii Senator Daniel K. Inouye passed away at Walter Reed Medical Center at age 88.
Inouye served in the Senate since 1963. He would've been celebrating his 50th year in Senate this year and his tenth term. Inouye earned the reputation and admiration for encouraging bipartisan work so that necessary legislation could move forward. He had been a member of the committees for Commerce, Science and Transportation and Indian Affairs. The people of Hawaii were very important to him and he worked tirelessly to help make sure that Hawaii's infrastructure, economy and natural resources were strong and protected. Under his watch, Hawaii saw that residents received more job training, support services, help for small businesses. National Parks and wildlife refuges were increased and offered protection to sea life and animals native to Hawaii. A war veteran, he championed the causes to help improve the quality of life for military men and women and their families. Inouye was a member of the Senate Watergate Committee in the 1970s which eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. He is also remembered for voting against the Iraq War resolution in 2002 with Senator Daniel Akaka and voting for a 2006 resolution to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by 2007.
Inouye was also a distinguished member of the U.S. Army.
Inouye received his education with assistance from the G.I. Bill and graduated from the University of Hawaii and George Washington Law School. He came back to Hawaii and worked as a Deputy Public Prosecutor for the City of Honolulu. When Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959, Daniel Inouye won his election to the U.S. House of Representatives as Hawaii's first Congressman. When Inouye was sworn in, he had the distinction of being the first Congressman from Hawaii and the first American of Japanese origin to serve in either House of Congress.
A war veteran who was an advocate of helping veterans through the years, he understood their struggles and always worked hard to make sure that he could be a voice for them and give his signature for what he thought was in the best interest of the men and women who wear our nation's uniform. With this, I dedicate to you Senator Dan Inouye, Aloha and thank you for your extraordinary service.

Today GM Kaidanov provides more instructive examples of when the initiative and rapid development should be valued higher than material in the early stages of a chess game. He starts by reviewing the game of a student, highlighting where his pupil's thought process first went astray, then he reviews an amazing show of "dynamic chess understanding", once again, from the personal library of Mikhail Tal. | Watch video
(NOTE: This was an April Fools joke video!) Just a few days ago, IM Daniel Rensch played one of the best games of his career, right here on Chess.com! Today Danny reviews this game for all us, where demonstrated one of the most instructive, creative and forceful attacks on any chess board... ever! He summarizes the game with humility and eloquence for our members in this video lecture. Enjoy... | Watch video
When the strongest players in the world come together for an elite tournament that will ultimately decide who has the right to challenge the world champion for his crown, holding back preparation and novelties is no longer an option! This tourney recipe is currently providing many "new opening treats" for all of us mere mortals to enjoy, and GM Dzindzichashvili is using it as a launching pad for his new video series on high level opening prep and novelties. Enjoy! | Watch video
As promised, Grandmaster Timur Gareev makes his Video Author debut today, reviewing the games he played on March 6th against our members! As you watch and learn from Timur's instructive analysis, as well as his honest, humble review of the difficulties he faced in each game, remember he played that simul... blindfolded! Mark your calendars for the next Blindfold Simul Show on Chess.com/TV and maybe you can participate too! | Watch video
After reviewing a game in which Gligoric quickly turns a "slow moving center" into a dangerous kingside attack (as was typical of his style), GM Bojkov displays a game that ends in a combination you might recognize! One of the most famous puzzles in history that derives from Gligoric's obscure Najdorf is on display! Dejan then provides one more example of Gligoric's brilliance on the white side of a Sicilian, before signing off. | Watch video
Today GM Khachiyan reviews one of his favorite games! A battle full of swindles, surprising (often amazing) tactical shots, and many resourceful options for both sides: Gormally-Sutovsky, Gibraltar 2005 was something to behold! Of course, Melik provides insight into the calculation process of each player, and how we can all learn from their play. Enjoy! | Watch video
GM Bojkov continues his coverage of the third world champion by reviewing two games full of middlegame tactics and the kind of high level technique that Capablanca is most famous for. In this video, before taking on two players in a "tandem game", Capablanca faces off against Rudolf Spielmann in an exciting Queen's Gambit Declined full of Capablanca innovations... | Watch video
Today GM Melik thanks the Chess.com Members for providing him with the needed encouragement and support to keep playing actively and to strive further, and always for improvement! Without that, we would never have had the pleasure of the current spectacle! Melik takes on an aggressive, and surprisingly well prepared opponent. He quickly finds himself on the defensive. Is he resourceful enough to "wiggle away" to does he falter to black's kingside attack? | Watch video
GM Shankland continues to review his games from the recent Pan-American Team Championship! Here he reviews an extremely sharp, Open Sicilian Najdorf that has the "flavor" of an English Attack, but not quite the "theory". The game eventually becomes a back and forth affair when "mature GM Shankland" decides to become "overly aggressive Shanky"... | Watch video
Today Melik provides more proof that "tactics must server strategy"! He shows that with the right positional knowledge, and correct intuitive approach, you can spot tactics that might have been otherwise too hard to see. He reviews each position showing where the opponent's weaknesses are apparent, how you can see your opportunities to strike, and then provides awesome tactics to back it up! | Watch video

Should Docs' Prescribing Habits Be for Sale?
Selling information about which doctors prescribe which drugs is big business; IMS Health, one of the big players in the field, just agreed to sell itself for $4 billion. But a proposed amendment to the Senate health-care bill could take a big bite out of the market.
The amendment, backed by Democratic Sens. Herb Kohl and Dick Durbin, would ban the sale of doctors' prescribing records "for marketing purposes," the Associated Press reports. (We'd link straight to the amendment, but it doesn't look like it's online yet.)
Companies like IMS buy the information from pharmacies, crunch it, and sell it to drug companies, which use it to guide the way they market drugs to individual doctors (the records identify doctors but not patients). Doctors can choose to have their data remain private.
The senators say the amendment would combat "harassing sales practices" and "restrain undue influence" of drug sales reps, according to the AP.
A few states have passed laws restricting the sale of prescription data; IMS and others in the business have sued, arguing that the laws violate the First Amendment. Court rulings have been mixed; a federal appeals court upheld New Hampshire's prescription data-mining law, and the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
Health Blog Question of the Day: Is it appropriate for the government to limit the sale of information about doctors' prescribing habits?
Update: "Shielding the prescribing practices of physicians has the potential to harm patients," IMS Health said in a statement emailed to the Health Blog. "Without such information, it is much more difficult to communicate with physicians about best treatment practices, new treatment guidelines and updated safety warnings for medicines."

Around the Globe in a London Black Cab
Over the past 13 months, three Englishmen have traveled more than 32,000 miles in a London Black Cab named Hannah.
An traditional London cab, sporting paint that was part black, part orange, was an unusual sight on the streets of New York City's Times Square Tuesday. (Ramsay de Give for The Wall Street Journal)
In the front seat: Britons Paul Archer, 25 years old, and Leigh Purnell, 24. The pair, with college buddy Johno Ellison, 28, have traveled more than 32,000 miles around the globe in a 1992 LTI 2.7 liter diesel FX4TK, better known as a London Black Cab—which they've named Hannah. (Ramsay de Give for The Wall Street Journal)
The Brits were undaunted by the tangle of cars and cabs and pushcarts in Times Square. 'We've seen worse,' Mr. Archer, of Gloucester, shown here. (Ramsay de Give for The Wall Street Journal)
As many cabbies do, these drivers have taken the scenic route. They're aiming to set a new world's record for the longest taxi ride, while raising cash for the British Red Cross, mostly through corporate sponsorships. (Ramsay de Give for The Wall Street Journal)
Earlier this month, they were in Hollywood, Calif. (Johno Ellison)
They paused for a photo with the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in February. (Johno Ellison)
In July 2011, children in Agra, India, joined the team for a photo in front of the Taj Mahal. (Johno Ellison)
A few months later, in October 2011, they were at Angkor Wat, in Cambodia. (Johno Ellison)
February 2011 found Hannah and her drivers at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. (Johno Ellison)
From France, they traveled to Italy, pausing for a shot of the cab in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in March 2011. (Johno Ellison)
Later the same month, Hannah was at the Kremlin in Moscow, a little worse for wear. (Johno Ellison)
During a drive through the mountains of Kosovo in April 2011, the team encountered a sudden snowstorm. (Johno Ellison)
And later the same month, in Georgia's Military Highway, it was sheep that caused them slow down. (Johno Ellison)
The team stopped for a photo at the Iraqi border in the northern region of Kurdistan in May 2011. (Johno Ellison)
Hannah went into the shop at an auto bazaar in Erbil, Iraq, in May 2011. (Johno Ellison)
At the border of Pakistan, the team pauses for a photo. (Johno Ellison)
June 2011 found the team in the deserts of Iran. By the end of their trip, Mr. Archer and his team will have traveled nearly 50,000 miles through 39 countries, four continents and 10 different time zones, crossing more than 40 international borders. (Johno Ellison)

Mesa County commissioner Steve Acquafresca announced this afternoon that he is running for re–election. He made it official at the Mesa County Republican's luncheon today. Acquafresca currently serves as chair of the three person commission.He says he's accomplished a lot towards building our community and looks forward to being re–elected and getting more done.
Also at the luncheon, Senator Josh Penry talked about dropping out of the Governor's race and what's next for the republican party and if he'll support Gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis. "I made a decision that I could make a greater impact in another way, disappointing obviously, I still think I'm the right guy. But I also think that Scott McInnis will be a heck of a lot better than Bill Ritter and that redeploying our resources we can affect a much broader comeback," says Josh Penry.
Republican Gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis is scheduled to be in Palisade tomorrow evening for a meet and greet fundraiser. He will be at Grande River Vineyards from six to eight pm.

The 2014 Grays Harbor Raceway season began with just a few hiccups on Saturday, but more than a few cheers as well.
After an offseason that was highlighted by the Grays Harbor County Commissioners canceling the leasing contract with Great Northwest Promotions LLC and the selection of Funtime Promotions Inc., as the new raceway promoter, many were anxious as to whether there would be any racing at the facility in Elma this season. Even more questions arose when Great Northwest seemingly drug its feet getting off of the property. Funtime Promotions owner Steve Beitler and his work crews were not able to get onto the property until early March, but Beitler never waiver as to the amount of activity the raceway would see this season. On Saturday, he stood on the track to welcome more than 1,000 race fans into the stands moments before the national anthem.
"I was very pleased with tonight," Beitler said. "We were so far behind. We got the track so late that we needed eight to 10 weeks to get it ready and we only had six. I'm just so pleased tonight with the outcome because everybody worked so many hours the last two weeks. The whole night went really good. The track was outstanding — beautiful racetrack tonight. The guys did a good job racing, and I was really pleased with the crowd that showed up.
Opening night was originally scheduled for May 10, but the track was too wet to race on two weeks ago. A few sunny days during last week allowed for crews to provide an almost-perfect surface for the cars to race on Saturday as four classes took to the track.
Chad Norton of Tenino won the Outlaw Tuners feature race; Chase Goetz of Snohomish raced to victory in the Midgets; Mike Romig of Vancouver earned his first victory at Grays Harbor Raceway in the Non-wing Sprints. The Street Stocks was the only class to go to a Grays Harbor native as 18-year-old Austin Kerrigan of Aberdeen took the checkered flag in his 1969 Ford Mustang.
Kerrigan comes from a racing family as his father Shane was on his son's heels for most of the feature race.
"My dad used to race 18 years ago in the bomber division and I just finally got him into racing a hornet three years ago, and then we raced the hornet for half the season and then we got into street stocks again," Kerrigan said.
For the young driver who began his racing career at Grays Harbor Raceway, it was just good to be tearing up some dirt in his white No. AK47.
"It is like a kick in the pants," Kerrigan said. "It means a lot. A lot of my friends come out and they see you. It feels good."
Despite an almost countless number of hours crews spent working on the facility before the opening night there were still a few items left unfinished as the opening day arrived, most notably the lack of a properly working scoreboard and no beer sales. The late turnover date of the facility to Funtime Promotions did not allow enough time for a liquor license and several wires were found to be cut in the scoreboard system, leaving a few fans thirsty and some others keeping score manually.
Track announcer Phil Martelli said the few hiccups are just to be expected on an opening night of the season. Martelli should know, Saturday was his 29th opening night at Grays Harbor Raceway.
"For the opening night I thought it went very smooth," Martelli said. "We have to get our scoreboard working. They have done a lot of work in the last two weeks here. I think the raceway means a lot to people and I can tell by the turnout. From the feedback I'm getting I think the people are happy and it is only going to get better."
While Beitler was happy with the program put on at the raceway on Saturday, he said he expects the show to improve with each week.
"There were just some of the normal gremlins, but that is OK," Beitler said. "The show still went on and the majority of the people in the grandstands don't know what went on behind the scenes. We got a whole laundry list of things we want to do for next week to make it better. I know what myself and my crew is capable of doing and I know we are capable of putting on a really good program and I think we showed tonight that for being just three or four weeks behind in getting this thing open that there are going to be good things coming for Grays Harbor Raceway."

We're the parents of a profoundly deaf little girl who received bilateral implants of Nucleus 5 in February 2011 at age one. She is doing wonderfully with her cochlear implants. For the first few months we struggled with finding a good solution to keeping the processors on and after buying many versions of bands and pilot hats online, finally created our own for our daughter. These thin jersey or nylon headbands stay on more securely and comfortably than body tape and snugfit hooks.
--Additional photos--
These are headbands with different widths of elastic (front and back pictures).
You can see the front and back of each headband. The brown headband has a skinny and wide elastic. The purple one uses both skinny elastic. With the purple headband you can see that I continued the elastic across the back to save myself time finishing the elastic, and also to provide more support. It's simply a personal preference. By purchasing the headbands pre-made that saves me time, and I only need to sew the elastic loops on by hand or machine.

I must add it costs $500 + GST for this product, when similar products are $100 cheaper.
After about three months, I wanted to used the main and noticed the screen was green and the camera not functional. I went on to read blogs and found that many people are having similar issues wit this new product.
I called the service center and they told me to perform a reset, which meant I lost the data, yet the problem was not fixed, so I was told to send the product in for repairs. Sending from Calgary to Ontario cost me $25.
I got the 'fixed' camera back after about four weeks and it was working.
Three months later the problem was back. Now I have been told to resend for repairs and that means I will have to spend another $25 which I'm not prepared to spend because this will mean I'm spending additional significant sums of money on a product I already paid a premium to procure.
The support staff are not in anyway ready to take on the responsibility of shipment. There is even no assurance that the problem won't re-occur because it is apparently a general manufacturer's fault.
This product needs to be recalled.

My Cellar Shopcomments (2) November 11th, 2011 in Shop Tours
Shop Specs
- Location: , Massachusetts, USA
- Size: 300sq. ft.
- Type: Basement
- Focus: Furniture
- Heating/Cooling:
My house is built on stone ledge. On top of that, the ledge is sloped so the basement under one end of the house is about 2 and a half feet high and at the other end about 10 feet high. So at the 10 foot end, I built a platform, then built a wall down from a massive wooden beam that supports the house and then built the shop.
I recently gutted the kitchen, and took the old kitchen cabinets downstairs for use in the shop. The shop is about 25 feet long and 12 feet wide. It's dark down there so I painted the cinder block walls white and installed some extra lighting.
The bench is a 6 foot slab of beech with a bench stop mortised in and a very old leg vise that my sister found on the street curb - someone was going to throw it out in the trash! The wooden screw still works fabulously. The bench stop is raised and supported by a piece of wood cut int he shape of a spiral so that I can adjust the height to just what I need. Tooks are on tool boards mounted to the wall with French cleats.

CBS - The U.S. Transportation Department announced Friday it is fining General Motors (GM) $35 million for safety issues stemming from its delayed recalls of 2.6 million cars due to faulty ignition switches.
This action represents the largest civil penalty ever paid as a result of a government investigation of violations stemming from its recalls. GM has signed a consent order, agreeing to pay the fines and submit to additional oversight, according to the Transportation Department.
"We have learned a great deal from this recall. We will now focus on the goal of becoming an industry leader in safety," said GM CEO Mary Barra in a statement. "We will emerge from this situation a stronger company."
Federal law requires all auto manufacturers to notify the government within five business days after they find a safety-related defect or learn that a vehicle is not in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards. GM admits in the consent order that it did not promptly issue a recall as required.
"Safety is our top priority, and today's announcement puts all manufacturers on notice that they will be held accountable if they fail to quickly report and address safety-related defects," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Foxx and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Acting Administrator David Friedman are scheduled to attend a press briefing at 11:15 a.m. ET on Friday.
The agencies have been investigating GM's delayed recall of 2.6 million small cars due to faulty ignition switches. GM has acknowledged knowing about the problem for at least a decade but didn't recall the cars until earlier this year. The company says at least 13 people have died in crashes linked to the problem.
"It's critical to the safety of the driving public that manufacturers promptly report and remedy safety-related defects that have the potential to lead to deaths or injuries on our nation's highways," Friedman said in a statement.
Also on Friday, GM announced its sixth recall of the week. It recalled 8,200 mid-sized cars to fix a problem with front brakes. It was GM's 24th recall this year involving about 11.2 million cars and trucks.
"GM's ultimate goal is to create an exemplary process and produce the safest cars for our customers - they deserve no less," Barra said Friday. GM's stock price was unchanged in mid-morning trading Friday.

After 13 years with Project MANA I am moving on. Heidi Allstead will be taking over as Executive Director effective January 27th.
For the last 13 years I've had the privilege of working for an incredible organization. Project MANA has been a rewarding experience for me offering both challenging and meaningful work. Who could ask for more?
I want to thank the Board of Directors for their support and friendship over the years. They followed some very clear guidelines, "what's best for the community" and, "Is within our mission?" and managed to keep me on mission despite my most creative efforts to stray into unknown territory.
I also want to thank our donors, the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation, the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, the Tahoe and Truckee communities and the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza for their support and belief in our work. You made my job easier.
My wife and I will be retiring and moving to Belize where Irma is from and where I lived for 17 years. In a way we're going home, but it's bittersweet. We will miss everyone and all the friendships we made here, but not the long winters. If you ever make it to Belize look us up and we'll keep a cold beer in the refrigerator.
George Lebard
Former Executive Director, Project MANA
