quote: But claiming corporations aren't paying enough tax is equivalent to saying the prices of goods you buy are too low. If you feel those goods need to be taxed higher, then sure raise the corporate or sales tax. But don't for a moment believe that you as an individual won't be paying for a higher corporate tax rate.
quote: you'd be right if it were a zero sum equation. it's not. prices are set arbitrarily according to the market conditions.
quote: a worker's productivity is not equal to x. it's x + profit.
quote: Productivity is how much value a worker adds to the economy in a year.
quote: When you pretend you have more money than you actually have productivity, Greece happens and (if the country has its own currency) its currency falls in value relative to other countries' currency until the country's monetary value matches its productivity. (In Greece's case, it was on the Euro, so the other Euro countries are basically paying the huge credit card bill Greece racked up.)
quote: If you decide 25% of GDP should go to taxes, then 25% of money/productivity will go to the government that year. Doesn't matter whether you extract it as corporate taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, VATs, property taxes.
quote: If your productivity would have earned you $100,000 in salary in a year and there were no corporate taxes, you will only be able to buy $75,000 worth of goods and services. The other $25,000 you would pay to the government as personal/sales taxes.
quote: If you eliminated all taxes except corporate taxes and held prices constant, then the company would have to reduce your salary to $75,000 to maintain its finances. So you'd have $75,000 to spend buying goods and services. The other $25,000 would be paid by your company to the government as corporate taxes.

Tony Romo is playing golf and organizing team workouts while Michael Vick does the exact opposite of what Rashard Mendenhall did.
Vick praised the U.S. military and President Obama for the killing of Osama Bin Laden, meaning he came down on the popular side of things.
This is neither a good or bad thing, it just shows he has learned it is easier to follow the crowd with public opinions when you are a professional athlete—especially one who was convicted of killing dogs.
The NFL lockout is still in place. There really is not much more to say about that but we will endeavor to make things interesting.
Dez Bryant, Rashard Mendenhall and more are in the news, so thanks for stopping by as we scroll through today's headlines with an eye toward entertaining.

"I cried," Navratilova, 53, tells PEOPLE about the moment in February when a biopsy came back positive after a routine mammogram revealed a cluster in her left breast. "It knocked me on my ass, really. I feel so in control of my life and my body, and then this comes, and it's completely out of my hands."
She was diagnosed with a non-invasive form of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, which in her case was confined to the milk ducts and had not spread to the breast tissue. "It was the best-case scenario you could imagine for detecting breast cancer," Dr. Mindy Nagle, a good friend of Navratilova's (and her ob gyn), tells PEOPLE.
Navratilova had a lumpectomy and will begin six weeks of radiation therapy in May.
Dr. Shelley Hwang, a breast surgeon at UC San Francisco, says DCIS strikes almost 70,000 American women annually and accounts for about one-fifth of all new diagnosed breast cancers. "The prognosis of someone with DCIS is excellent," she says. "There's only a one-percent chance of anyone with this diagnosis would die of breast cancer."
The nine-time Wimbledon champion, who still plays tennis and ice hockey and competes in triathlons, says she is lucky, as she had not been getting regular checkups.
"I went four years between mammograms," she tells PEOPLE. "I let it slide. Everyone gets busy, but don't make excuses. I stay in shape and eat right, and it happened to me. Another year and I could have been in big trouble."
In her role as a health and fitness ambassador for AARP, Navratilova will be chatting live on the group's Web site on Thursday at noon.

One of the biggest factors in this high school boys basketball season is … a college.
Canisius College has Western New York's only two early basketball signees, and it also has an increased role in two of the season's biggest games.
Last month, Adam Weir of Canisius High and Jermaine Crumpton of Niagara Falls both signed national letters of intent to play basketball for the Golden Griffins.
Next month, Canisius College's Koessler Center will host the first of two regular-season matchups between Weir's Canisius team and its rival, St. Joe's. The teams will meet twice on Saturdays at 2 p.m. The first matchup is Jan. 12 and the second is the regular season finale on Feb. 16.
The Koessler Center has hosted the Monsignor Martin Association's Manhattan Cup playoffs for the last several years, but this is the first time it will host the rivals' games. The move will allow more fans to attend two of the best-attended games in Western New York. The football game between the schools this season attracted more than 6,000 fans to St. Joe's. In recent years, the gyms at both schools have been filled to capacity, with several hundred having had to be turned away at St. Joe's.
Canisius has to be considered the favorite in those games as the season begins.
Not only does Weir return, but so do fellow senior starters Aaron White, a quick point guard who can shoot and score, and senior Matt MacDonald, an all-around standout who, like Wier, is a deadly three-point shooter. Weir was an All-Western New York first-team pick while White and MacDonald were honorable mentions.
The Crusaders have a load of talent overall. Jamel Mosely, a 6-8 senior, showed flashes last year, as did fellow front-liner Jake Cercone (6-5). Howard Washington, a talented freshman, transferred from City Honors. Junior Ryan Richards (6-2) is expected to contribute after a standout football season.
Canisius has its traditional tough schedule this year, starting with a marquee opener against Olean at the Monsignor Martin-ECIC Challenge at St. Mary's next week. The Crusaders will again travel to the Georgetown Prep National Jesuit Tournament, and they earned a trip to one of the traditional showcases of the best teams in the country, the Primetime Shootout in New Jersey, where Canisius will take on a different St. Joseph's — this one hails from Metuchen (N.J.).
Weir's future college teammate welcomes back plenty of key players at Niagara Falls as well.
Crumpton, a 6-5 forward who can own the inside but has a sweet medium-range jump shot that makes his game one of the best in Western New York, returns with the perfect complement to an adept big man in quick point guard Jaleo Wilkins, a second-team all-league last year. Multi-tasker Ramir Burton, a 6-1 senior guard with an excellent all-around game, is coming off an impressive summer which attracted Division I recruiters. There's plenty of good size to go along with Crumpton up front in seniors Steffon Baldwin (6-6) and Tikere Ralands (6-3).
Niagara Falls has a challenging nonleague schedule, which includes a home-and-home exchange with Rochester private school power Bishop Kearney. Last year's Class A champions of Section V will play in Class AA this year with a loaded lineup that includes Chinonso Obokoh, a 6-9 senior who has signed with Syracuse.
Canisius' Monsignor Martin schedule should again be filled with competitive games.
Returning for St. Joe's is plenty of seasoned talent that split its regular season meetings with Canisius last year: Jaylen Morris (6-2 senior), Jordan Glover (5-10 senior), Dan Maher (6-2 senior), Dylan Hall (6-2 senior), Louis Oliveri (6-1 senior) and Mark Cerza (6-6 senior). The Marauders have their typically tough schedule as well, which includes hosting Bishop Kearney on Jan. 17, a home-and-home with another Section V private school power in Aquinas and several great local showdowns: vs. Jamestown next Tuesday at the Monsignor Martin-ECIC Challenge, at McKinley on Dec. 14 and hosting Middle Early College on Dec. 20.
The name to watch at St. Mary's is Paul Rath. The Lancers' new coach, replacing the departed Dan Gill, is Paul Rath Sr., while the Lancers' top returning player is Paul Rath Jr. Rath Jr., a 6-2 senior, was the winner of the Sixth Man Award at last season's inaugural Prep Talk/BCANY Awards Banquet. Rath has the ability to play both guard spots. He'll be joined by key returning players Quinn Gill (5-7 senior) and Latrell Tyson (6-1 junior) as the Lancers look to reload after graduating a senior-laden lineup that advanced to its first Manhattan Cup championship.
Other new head coaches are at Bishop Timon-St. Jude, where Joe Mihalics replaces Jim Palano; at St. Francis, where Brian Ferris replaces Ed Hoak; and at Nichols, where John Reinholz replaces Jim McKinnon.
Ten of Timon's 14 players were part of the Tigers' very successful — but very lengthy — football season. Its first practice was Nov. 19. Mihalics like how senior Bryant Fulton (6-3) can do everything offensively and defensively. Junior Donte Williams (6-3) showed flashes of explosiveness late last year and has had a standout summer. Manny Welch, a 5-10 senior, has serious three-point range. Timon will be without Ryan Dougherty, a solid inside-outside player and football quarterback who is having surgery to repair a torn ACL.
St. Francis showed how deep the Monsignor Martin league is with a home win over St. Joe's late last year. Ferris welcomes back three starters from that team: senior point guard Cory Cullen, senior shooting guard Brennan Macey and junior small forward David Kennedy. Newcomers include a 6-8 junior transfer from Montreal, Treyvon Holness, and Lackawanna transfer Maurice Burse, a junior, as well as 6-7 junior Austin Taylor up from JV. Ferris also brought in a new coaching staff full of former Red Raiders (including Jim Negrych, who recently signed a baseball contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and Buffalo Bisons).
Just when you think the league was competitive enough, Reinholz has Nichols off to an impressive start after beating Cleveland Hill and Maryvale to win the Lancaster Tipoff. Reinholz, a former player at Fredonia State, spent the last three years assisting Ron Torgalski with the Vikings girls team, on which Reinholz's daughter, Kylie was a standout.
Big parts in both early Nichols wins were seasoned sophomores with size in Christopher Miner (6-5) and Cameron Lewis (6-6). Both started last season (when Nichols went 10-15, 3-9 in league play), as did 6-2 senior guard and three-year starter Liam Ryan. Junior Tom Nuttle (6-3) provides some more size as he arrives from JV.
As for Niagara Falls' competition in the Niagara Frontier League, Kenmore West loses many key players from the team that shared the title with the Wolverines. Kenmore West lost four starters and eight seniors from that squad, but welcomes back first-team all-leaguer Quinton Campbell. Alex Price, a junior who was called up late last season, will replace Martin Bailey at point guard.
Another top returning player in the league is Niagara-Wheatfield's Jack Mulcahy, a 6-4 senior and first teamer who averaged 15 points and eight rebounds last year. Coach Erik O'Bryan says he is coming off a very good summer.
North Tonawanda returns just four bench players from last year, and sixth-man Ian Gilhousen is out until Christmas with an illness. Up from JV is 6-7 sophomore Adam McNeill. NT will be tested in nonleaguers against Tonawanda, Cleveland Hill and Amherst.
Ron Krystof, who was the JV coach at NT the last two seasons, takes over at Grand Island for Nate Beutel, who is now the women's coach at Niagara County Community College. Kenmore East has a new coach in David Idzik.
Yale Cup I even tougher
Having Middle Early College in Yale Cup's Division I will make an already tough league even tougher. MEC, which has lost the OTC (Occupational Training Center) prefix from its name, has three very talented players back from the team that was the state's Class C runner-up. Senior Keir Anderson is a 6-2 guard who has excellent three-point range, and, like many Kats before him, is a strong force on the boards. Kevin Briggs (who legally changed his last name from Reese), is a 5-10 junior who is an excellent shooter who also creates for his teammates. Bri'an Brown, a 6-4 junior, was a spring-loaded double-double machine last year. The Kats are playing another tough schedule, which does not include a school its size (Class C) until the postseason.
Defending Yale Cup I champion McKinley is expected to provide its usual frenetic pace and scoring, particularly with three all-league first teamers returning in the explosive 5-9 Reyzon Jordan (Yale Cup I Player of the Year last season), 6-3 sharpshooter Marcus Morris and multi-talented 6-3 Lovell Smith. The Macks also welcome back forward DeaQuan Warren and Deonte Bell while senior guards Samuel Smith, Stephone Johnson and Nazareth Sutton will be part of their always-deep rotation.
East and Riverside will offer tough tests, as always. East returns 6-8 junior Tyree Tyson, who has improved his defense and shot-blocking over the summer. Johnathon Lewis, the quick, 5-9 guard who was at the point last season, moves to shooting guard. St. Mary's transfer Percy Bryant, a 5-8 sophomore, takes over the point.
Riverside has one of the most dynamic players — not only in the league, but in Western New York. Six-foot guard Justice Feggans can go on scoring streaks like few other players. Also back for the Frontiers are point guard Willie Smith (5-1) and senior Shawn Johnson (6-0).
South Park, which has four seniors including football standout Tyrell Mitchell, signaled a turnaround in its program with a victory over I-Prep on Monday.
I-Prep will be young and its schedule will only get tougher (Lockport Tournament, St. Joe's Tournament). Junior Damon Boykin and senior Justus Radford — the only players remaining from the Presidents' run to Glens Falls in 2011 — are rejoined by sophomore DaQuan Evans.
Seneca, which has a scoring hole to fill with the graduation of Aaron Frasier, welcomes back starters 6-2 senior JaVaughn McNabb and 5-8 junior RayShawn Jones.
A young City Honors returns three junior starters in Marqell Massey, James Miller and Yusef Burgos, who will be joined by sophomore guards Matt Cieslik and Jordahn Summers. The Centaurs have early tests against Lackawanna, St. Mary's and Oracle Charter. Bennett's roster includes 6-3 freshman center Brendan Benjamin. A young Olmstead squad, which competes in Class C this postsesaon, has just four seniors.
Jamestown leads ECIC I
Jamestown returns a very strong unit that will be favored to defend its ECIC I crown and advanced deep in the Class AA playoffs, where it lost to Niagara Falls in last year's final.
Senior guard Tommy Campion — the only senior on the team — returns after earning third-team All-WNY honors and co-Player of the Year honors in the league after averaging 18.6 points per game. Other starters are heady 5-9 sophomore Zack Panebianco and big man Quinn Lee Yaw (6-6 junior). Branden Kellam, a 6-5 sophomore, is a player to watch after an eye-opening season as the Red Raiders' freshman sixth man. Jamestown opens its ECIC schedule at Orchard Park on Dec. 14 and will play in a holiday tournament at Irondequoit of Section V (Rochester area), which is the team it beat in the 2011 Far West Regionals.
The player that shared the league's Player of the Year award is Sterling Taplin of Williamsville North, who was a first-team All-WNY selection as a sophomore. The talented 6-1 guard played with top AAU team the Albany City Rocks this summer (he was the only 16-year-old playing on the U17 squad) and he has already received scholarship offers. He starts the season with 1,010 points and might surpass North's all-time scoring record as soon as next month. North will head to the Albany area to face Green Tech, a team which includes Maurice West, a City Rocks teammate of Taplin's.
Senior guard David Berkun returns alongside Taplin in the backcourt while sophomore George Attea will be a presence in the middle (6-4, 235). Tenth-year coach Chuck Swierski said high-energy senior guard Aman Washington has made big improvements over the summer.
Lots of turnover in ECIC II
The only returning all-stars in ECIC II are first-teamers Chaq Nettles (Williamsville South senior) and Nate Wilkinson (Iroquois senior) and honorable mention Jeremiah Bill (Hamburg junior). Sweet Home moves in from ECIC I and Lake Shore moves out to ECIC III.
Williamsville South had a high-profile coaching change as longtime local college assistant Gabe Michael was recently hired to fill the vacancy created when Williamsville Superintendent Scott Martzloff controversially decided late this past summer to remove longtime successful coach Al Monaco.
Wilkinson runs the point for the coach Sean Lauber and the Chiefs, who intend to build on their first winning season (12-7, 8-4) in eight years. Kunior shooting guard Phil Bowen, senior small forward Matt Keating and 6-7 senior Dave Tharnish are back. Sophomore Zach Emer (6-1) should make an impact.
Williamsville East is aiming to continue last season's success (co-champions with South) as it welcomes back sophomores Cort Williams and Nicholas Clough and senior Michael Spina. Senior guard Zachary Bischel could be a key contributor. The Flames will test themselves with nonleaguers against Middle College (Wednesday at the Pastor-Cooper), St. Joe's (Friday at Lockport) and rival Williamsville North (Feb. 14).
Hamburg, which was also in the top half of the league last year (7-5) and notably had a win over South, returns seniors Kyle Violanti (5-11) and Andrew Sardinia (6-2) and juniors Griffin Ryan (6-2) and Bill (6-5).
Starpoint, which went 1-18 last season, has a new coach in longtime St. Joe's assistant Ben Scaffidi.
Amherst favorite in loaded ECIC III
Amherst is a team to watch in this always-grueling league as it welcomes back almost all of its key players, including four seniors: first-team pick Johnathan Belton, second-teamer Alex Turecki and honorable mentions Dion Lewis and Jonah Heim.
The Tigers advanced to the Class A-2 final, where it lost to league rival East Aurora.
EA loses Player of the Year Stan Wier (University at Buffalo) but has several standouts back in 6-6 junior Brendan Cox, 6-3 senior James Ritchie and 6-5 senior forward Ian Allen. Grant Haffenden, a 6-6 junior, is expected to contribute. EA, which opens at Section V's Pittsford-Sutherland Saturday at 2, hosts a quality foursome in its holiday tournament (Dec. 27-28) when Hutch-Tech plays CSAT and EA hosts Pioneer. EA also hosts Section V toughie Batavia on Feb. 6.
There was yet another finalist at Buffalo State from this league in Depew (which lost to Olean in B-1). The Wildcats return a high-quality guard in 6-2 Derek Sekuterski, a junior entering his third year as a starter, and a high-quality big man in 6-6, 300-pounder Mike Lamb. Senior 5-8 guard Nate Hyman is also back. The Wildcats have an intriguing opener on Wednesday as it faces Amherst at the Pastor-Cooper in a contest which will count as a league game. Its Christmas Tournament is a fun one with Depew hosting Lancaster in the first round while St. Mary's is in the other bracket.
Lake Shore joins the league, moving down from ECIC II, and coach Dan Gerken says, "The drop in the divisional breakdowns does not mean that there is any decline in the talent level." Another reason for that comment? Cheektowaga also made it to Buffalo State last year, losing to Amherst in the semifinals.
Lake Shore is hoping the winning ways from boys volleyball season, which saw the Eagles finish as a state runner-up, continue with players from that squad like seniors Clark Brueckl (6-1, 10 points per game) and 6-3 Ryan Joslyn. Last year's team MVP, ECIC II honorable mention Wade Bergum, is coming off a soccer season in which he set the school record for goals in a season.
Pioneer returns honorable mention and All-WNY first team lineman Connor Johnson (6-5, 330) as well as senior Terik Lewis (6-4, honorable mention) and three juniors 6-5 or taller in Adam Benzel, Justin Bliss and Cole Connelly (6-6).
Maryvale's rotation includes 5-9 eighth-grader William Lamar.
ECIC IV up for grabs?
Cleveland Hill is aiming to return to the top after sharing last year's title with Tonawanda. Jared Watkins was a second team all-league pick on a team that went 16-3 and 11-1 in the league. Tonawanda has inside-outside threat Clayton Hess back after he earned first-team honors, but he suffered an ankle injury in the team's opening win over Christian Central. Sophomore Tristan Bolling (17 vs. CCA) is one player who will help fill the void left by All-Western New York third-teamer Jesse Lalka.
Lackawanna looks to get back in a divisional race this year after a rare absence — last year was its first away from the final four at Buffalo State in 10 years. The Steelers have eight players back, including 5-10 senior Ahmad Abdo, a key reserve on the Steelers' B-1 title team who transferred back to Lackawanna after a year at West Seneca West. Shaquille Brooks, a 6-3 senior, led the team last year with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Alden has several key players back, including several from the No. 1 small school football team, and had a strong JV team last year. JFK has second-teamer Nick Anderson (6-0), the Bears' standout quarterback in a historic division championship season, back along with eight other seniors.
CSAT's Carson top N-O returner
The league race should be another competitive one, but there is not much argument about the top returning player. Super-quick senior guard Darnell Carson was an All-WNY honorable mention last season as he helped lead his team to a memorable Buffalo State run to the B-2 title. He is 211 points away from the 1,000 mark. Sophomore Dylanta Carson causes havoc in the backcourt with his older brother.
Akron returns seven seniors and one junior, including four returning starters in Noah Diebel (junior guard), Austin Mietz (senior guard), Connor Ladd (senior forward) and Gowah Abrams (senior forward). Steve Poodry was a key player off the bench last year; added to the group is 6-5 senior forward Sturgis Sundown. The Tigers won't open until Dec. 18, when it takes on Hutch-Tech as it hosts its Jack Silvernail Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament (St. Mary's meets Alden in the other game).
Newfane returns 5-11 senior Connor Sears, who averaged 12 points and eight rebounds per game last year, including over 16 points in his final 10 games. Also back for what is expected to be a typically deep team is 6-0 Bryan Giese, who earned MVP honors at last year's Jolly Boys Tournament at Williamsville South.
Another top individual in the league is Barker 6-4 junior Jake Haight, who can handle the ball, shoot and get to the line. Depth may be an issue, but they are a team to watch.
Also in that category is Medina, which returns 6-4 junior Dan Brown, 6-1 sophomore Jason Hellwig and has dynamic athlete Lonnie Taylor (6-4; 21.3 points in 14 games last year) who was an all-around senior standout during football season.
Roy-Hart returns senior Brad Bobbit, an all-league first teamer last year and a three-year starter. He's joined by fellow senior co-captains Blake Copella and Ryan Farewell.
Wilson, which has won or shared the league title the last three seasons, lost all five starters and has seven sophomores on its roster — and one of three returning seniors, Liam McIntosh, is out until January with a broken wrist. Senior Matt Baker should lead the way. Albion is on the young side.
Olean very strong — again
Olean is seeking a second straight wire-to-wire stay atop The News small school poll.
The Huskies return almost every player from its rotation after a season in which it advanced to the Class B state final four in Glens Falls.
Sam Eckstrom, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound junior, averaged 15.3 points last season as a sophomore, along with 9.5 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Wil Bathurst, a 6-3 junior, averaged 11.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks; 6-0 junior Nick Schmidt averaged 11.1 points and 3.0 assists and 5-8 junior Luke Hennessy averaged 4.5 points and 4.1 assists. Also back are: 6-1 senior Pat Scholla, 6-0 senior Max Portlow and 5-10 senior Evan Ryan.
Olean also has a loaded schedule, starting with a marquee matchup with Canisius a week from today at the Monsignor Martin-ECIC Challenge at St. Mary's. The Huskies also travel to Rochester's East High on Feb. 1. It has a possible matchup with Buffalo's East High in its own Olean Tipoff this weekend.
The best of the remaining teams in CCAA I should be Fredonia, which welcomes back 6-2 junior guard Dylan Meyer, who was a first-team all-league pick as a sophomore, and second-teamer Nick Johnston, a 5-8 junior who was a second teamer. Southwestern is ready to challenge with 6-1 senior Kyle Radack (20 points per game, all-league first team) and 5-10 senior point guard Alek Peck.
Allegany-Limestone returns juniors Ryan Vossler and Dom Saglimbem after both started several games as sophomores.
both started some games last year as sophomores.
Around the CCAA
Silver Creek, with lacrosse standout Zed Williams again back to excel in what can be a very similar sport, had a tremendous season last year, finishing fourth in the state poll after giving Middle Early College a great run in the C-1 championship game.
A team that is a familiar face in the postseason is CCAA II rival Randolph, which welcomes back league honorable mention Bryce Morrison (6-0 junior), one of many contributors to the state championship football team. Talented Tanner John (6-3 senior) is back for Salamanca while Josh Watson (6-3 senior) returns for Portville.
Perennially strong Maple Grove will be led by Aaron Germain, Will Soffel and Austin Goerke. The Red Dragons should be challenged by Westfield, which welcomes back 6-1 junior John Coe, who was last year's only underclassman on the CCAA III first team.
Chautauqua Lake, which has finished third in CCAA III for the last two years, has returning players in seniors Cody Thomas, Jeremiah Russin and Jordan Briggs as well as junior Ian Clute (second team all-league; 10.8 ppg, 8.4 rpg).
Our league should end up with Maple Grove and Westfield 1 and 2 respectively.
Panama, the defending Class D champion, moves up from CCAA IV to CCAA III and welcomes back all-CCAA IV second-teamer Alec Blose and Dan Odell.
Clymer has multi-tasking big man Dan Lictus (6-2 senior) back. Rival Sherman has Andrew Graham (5-9 junior) back after he made all-league second team last year. West Valley returns its top two scorers from last season (Mike Grigsby and Colton Myers) and our top three rebounders. Ellicottville has Cameron Wilson (5-10 junior), Storm Wilson (6-2 senior) and Alex Steinbroner (6-1 senior) back.

My Microsoft Points Buying Strategy
I've owned an XBox 360 for nearly a year and I've never once purchased anything in the XBox Live Marketplace because there was never anything I really wanted – until I bought Rock Band. With the music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, the producers are releasing new songs via the XBox Live Marketplace and, if my memory serves me right, Rock Band songs cost 160 Microsoft Points a piece (they also bundle them in packs of 3 for 440 MS Points).
The math on how much a Microsoft Point is worth in the retail market works out to be 1.25 cents per point in the US, with prices slightly higher abroad (not on purpose there, it's just exchange rates). You can get them slightly cheaper elsewhere and so you never want to pay retail price for points. There is always a cheaper alternative, unless you absolutely have to have points right now.
My goal is to pay, at most, a penny per point, and often times you can get them for even less if you're willing to look.
Amazon sells two point valued cards, a 1600 and a 4000 point card. The 1600 Microsoft Points Card is currently going for $18.99, making it 1.1869 cents/point, and the 4000 Microsoft Points Card is going for $47.99, making it 1.1998 cents/point. Yes, right now the 1600 point card is better than the 4000 point card (go figure). However, with a penny per point being our benchmark, Amazon.com doesn't cut it in this case. Also, Amazon.com has to mail you the card so there's a shipping delay between when you buy and when you can use the points. The card itself is meaningless, all you need is the code on the back… therein lies options #2.
I love eBay for these types of commodity goods and eBay has a ton of listings of Microsoft Points. You have your typical 1600 pointers for $17.99, 1.124 cents/point, and the 4000 price varies in the high $40 range, which puts it in line with Amazon.com prices. However, if you're willing to do a little extra work, look for the 200 point cards that come bundled with some random game. Specifically, look the for the 200 pointer bundled with Robotron 2084 and you'll see a whole bunch of them for 99 cents – that's a whopping half cent per point (plus Robotron 2084). The downside is that you have to enter all those codes, not a big deal if you have a keyboard but infuriating if you're typing them in by hand (plus the downside of buying from a stranger on eBay, so do your due diligence). The upside is that the seller will often email you the code and you can get it immediately.
Stores (with Coupons)
Lastly, your final option is to go to a store like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. armed with a coupon that lets you take dollars off your purchase. If you happen to be buying something else, throwing on some Microsoft Points at retail value so you are eligible to use a coupon might be a good idea. Short of that, going to a retail store without a coupon is the absolute worst thing you can do because you pay for gas, pay for tax, and you pay full price. Yuck.
There you have it, my brief guide on where to get the best prices on points. I'm not a seasoned point buyer so if anyone else has some good tips, please let me know so I can feed my Rock Band addiction on the cheap! Thanks!

The effectiveness of federal competition policy is secondary to collecting scalps
Editor's note: The op-ed from the Washington Times was written by William F. Shughart, J. Fish
Smith Professor in Public Choice, and Diana Thomas, assistant professor, both from the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission are busier than ever before in history as antitrust law enforcement agencies, and that's bad news for American businesses. The Justice Department's recent decision to allow the merger of American Airlines and US Airways, conditional on the selling of a comparative handful of the two carriers' takeoff and landing slots at Washington Reagan National and New York's LaGuardia airports, is a poster child of the Obama administration's competition policy stance during the president's first term in the White House.

Electric starter
From BBQ Wiki
Revision as of 01:36, 15 November 2013 by Christine Porretta (Talk | contribs)
An electric starter is a looped heating element you place beneath a pile of charcoal. Plug the device in and the coals will be blazing in 15 minutes. The electric starter is clean and easy to work with, but it doesn't light the charcoal quite as evenly as does a chimney starter. Another drawback is that you need a power outlet near your grill. I like to use an electric starter to light a deep or small grill, like a ceramic cooker or hibachi.

The placement of the controls and gearshift, the easy-to-see, intuitive dashboard, the comfortable seats and the adjustable steering wheel – all are the results of testing and developing with one final goal in mind: the best working environment possible.
The Volvo FL range offers you a choice of two sizes of cab: the day cab and the comfort cab – all depending on your need for loading space.
View the complete cab specifications
New ergonomic seats are a key feature of the Volvo FL cab interior, with improved anchoring, integrated headrest and seat belt. New upholstery material provides added resistance to dirt. Both the driver and the passenger seats can be adjusted to suit your needs.
The instrument cluster and the dashboard of the Volvo FL has been constructed and laid out to be as intuitive as possible. The instruments have been placed to provide the best ergonomics possible, while the dashboard's gauges are placed to give you a perfect overview of operations at a single glance.

Berkeley County Council's clerk is caught in a tug-of-war between council and the supervisor that resembles a custody battle in a divorce.
The matter is set to be discussed at a special council meeting Monday after committee meetings that start at 6 p.m.
"We are supposed to be doing the job of the people of Berkeley County and this is the kind of garbage that we have to get ourselves mired in," said Councilman Tim Callanan, who requested the special meeting.
"I'm not sure what they're going to discuss (at the meeting)," Supervisor Dan Davis said. "I think obviously there's still disagreement about who has the authority (to appoint a clerk), so we need to get that resolved."
On March 25, council's human resources and purchasing committee unanimously approved the appointment of Catherine R. Windham, who has served as acting clerk since July 2011.
During the council meeting that followed, Vice Chairman Dennis Fish, chairman of the committee, was stopped from bringing up the matter by Davis, who said he had instructed his staff not to include it on the agenda.
Davis said later he has learned that he is responsible for all county employees not hired by other elected officials, such as the sheriff or clerk of court.
Several council members said the clerk has been appointed by council for many years.
Council's rules say "the council shall appoint a person ... to serve as clerk. ... The Clerk to Council shall report directly to the Vice-Chairman."
Additionally, according to state law on county government, "The council shall appoint a clerk to record its proceedings and perform such additional duties as the council may prescribe."
Since March 25, Davis has brought the clerk's department under his control, renaming it the County Council Administration Office, and writing job descriptions for the three employees, a manager and two administrative specialists, one of which has clerk duties.
"He's essentially eliminating the office of Clerk to County Council and kind of incorporating it into his office," Callanan said.
Davis said he is doing that because he is responsible for the department.
He said he appointed Windham to the full-time clerk job on March 28. Windham declined to comment.
"The title seems to be in name only," said Fish. "The only duty is to sign the paperwork on the agendas."
Davis said he is not eliminating the job.
"The Clerk of Council position previously was also the manager of the department," he said. "You have to have a Clerk of Council but it does not necessarily need to be the one who manages the department.
There are two administrative specialists, and one of them has the Clerk to Council responsibilities in it. You've got to have someone to sign all the documents and what-not."
On Tuesday, a job opening was posted internally for "manager" in the County Council Administration Office. The job summary includes posting public notices of meetings, maintaining County Council's calendar, attending council meetings and directing transcription of all meetings. The pay range is $37,600 to $43,300.
The duties are nearly identical to those in a Jan. 15 internal listing for Clerk of Council, which lists the pay as roughly $53,100 to $61,000.
The agenda for the special meeting also includes first reading of an amendment to a current ordinance that would allow council, with a majority vote, to seek an outside legal opinion. The ordinance needs three readings.
Currently, county attorney Nicole Scott Ewing has that ability.
"The county attorney gives a legal opinion whether I agree with it or not," Davis said.
Callanan said council may need an outside opinion to clarify the clerk issue.
"If Supervisor Davis is going to battle council on something as innocuous as appointing a clerk to council, when budget comes up or something that could be a little bit more contentious, we're going to need legal opinion," he said.

LOCKPORT – As drug dealers go, Michael N. Ivey Jr. of Niagara Falls is "likable," Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said Monday. But he's also "a career criminal," the judge said in sentencing Ivey to five years in state prison on two crack cocaine felonies.
Ivey, 32, of Michigan Avenue, faces more legal trouble in Ohio, where a pending drug indictment could bring him 11 more years in prison if he is convicted, Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said.
Ivey pleaded guilty to third-degree and attempted fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was under indictment for having a gram of crack July 30, 2010, when police raided his home Feb. 7 and seized five ounces of crack and $1,700.
Ivey, who left school in the 11th grade, said he turned to selling crack because he had "no job, child support [due], bills piling up." He said that was "a bad decision."
Farkas replied, "Wasn't it a bad decision to only go to 11th grade? Wasn't it a bad decision to have children out of wedlock before you could afford them?" Ivey agreed with the judge.

A minimum 300mm focal length really.
What system are you using?
I have a canon 7d and a 70-200 f2.8 with an extender. I hired a canon 28-300 from Lenslocker and found it quite heavy over a period of time. I'm not sure if there's a lighter option.
How about you? What are you using?
Hi the 70-200 f2.8 is a lovely lens and performs well with a 1.4TC, I havent tried it with a 2x TC however.
Have you thought of the following
Canon 400mm prime f5.6 or the 100-400 zoom
The Sigma 150-500 is also very good value for money and only marginally les sharp than the canons above if you get a good version - QA/QC issues can be a problem with this lens.
I mainly use a Canon 100-400 or a Sigma 150-500. I have other other lenses but these are the two I use most often I guess. I also use the Canon 7D.
I shoot Nikon so my comments may not interest toasty but other Nikon users might find them helpful.
I have two long lenses and I like them both. The first long lens that I bought was the Tamron 200-500mm , it is quite light for lens of that length but lacks a focus limiter and stabilisation. I have taken good shots handheld but in poor light it really needs a tripod.
I recently bought a Nikon 300mm and focusing is much quicker than the Tamron and it has focus manual over-ride which is excellent when birds are not out in the open.
I have a Nikon d3100 and have the nikkor 55-300 lens as my walkabout. I do hope to acquire the sigma 150-500 in the near future though.....
If you want close-up shots of birds, particularly small birds, then it is difficult to get lightweight kit that will do the job. I use a Nikon D5100 and the Sigma 150-500 lens but together, it is relatively heavy - you can see examples of my images in the Flickr link below.
Having said that, I meet people with very expensive Nikon and Canon lenses that are capable of fantastic photography but many are much heavier still. I watched one guy pack up his kit into a large four-wheel trolley in order to get it back to his car! It is certainly worth trying out various lenses but the real test is walking around with it in your hands for 2-3 hours.
The final answer depends on what you can afford and how you are going to use it. If you want to set up in a hide on a regular basis and can afford it, you can go for an expensive branded lens that will get up really close to the birds (but is quite heavy). If like me, you can't afford such lenses and you want to walk around looking for birds, then you need something lighter (and cheaper - thus the Sigma 150-500 or similar). Andrew is a good model to base your decision on because he uses a variety of lenses for different purposes in different situations.
Good luck with your search.
I recently bought my first DSLR from jessops, a Canon 1100D. Entry level body and a Tamron 70-300mm lens. Then bought the 2x convertor but was still not happy with the results, just bought a Sigma 150-500mm lens and it is superb by comparison. It is a lot of lens to carry about, we did 4 hours of walking at Rainham Marshes last weekend but the pics were well above anything I have shot before so the mild neckache was well worth it for the results.

The deal came in federal court in Missoula, Mont., at lunchtime Thursday, just before her jury was set to hear closing arguments. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy accepted the plea, but said she first had to tell him the truth.
Graham said that she and Cody Johnson were on the Loop Trail in Glacier National Park July 7, arguing over what the defense has referred to as her "wedding blues," when Johnson grabbed her arm. She said she brushed him away and then she pushed him. The shove sent her husband over the edge of the steep cliff and to his death at the bottom of a ravine.
"I ran back up to the car and left," Graham told the judge outside the jury's presence. "I was scared of what happened and in that moment I was so scared I didn't know what to do."
Sentencing was scheduled for March 27 and Graham was handcuffed and taken into custody by U.S. Marshals.
Although the deal removes charges of first-degree murder and making false statements, Graham still faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
'She Could Have Told Us the Truth'The trial had been quick but emotional.
Sherry Johnson testified that her son Cody was excited to marry Graham, the Associated Press reported. She also said she tried to console Graham during a prayer service after her son's death.
"I put my arm around her and said everything will be okay," Sherry Johnson said tearfully. "Cody's with Jesus now."
Graham didn't respond, Johnson testified.
Graham's 16-year-old brother also testified against her, recalling how his sister knew where to search for Cody Johnson's body. He said he was distraught over her many deceptions.
"She could have told us the truth," Michael Rutledge testified. "She had to keep telling lies to cover it up."
Graham's matron of honor, Kimberly Martinez, testified that Graham sent her text messages before the wedding, saying she was getting nervous, and text messages after the wedding saying she was rethinking everything. In the texts, Martinez urged Graham to talk to Johnson, and Graham said that Johnson had a temper.

It's for sale now, you dinkus. Go and buy it, if you like. It's an okay game.
And teased as a new trilogy.
Soooo... how long 'till CoD's mentioned here?
I'm pretty excited for it but then again, I'm a Halo fanboy. As per, the cinematic trailer says absolutely nothing but at least its confirmed.
I 'squeed' a little when I heard Cortana's voice.
is it Kinect? if so. don't really care about a rails halo.
I very much doubt it's Kinect. They probably would have announced it with the rest of the Kinect slurry, otherwise.
Bitch, you beat me to making the thread. Yeah, I'm glad this is a game which is happening. I'm still looking forward to the Halo Anniversary game more though.
Yeah, Anniversary will be the tits (I know this because I've seen a minute of footage). Not long to wait, too. November 15th. Mark it on your calendars.
Also, it looked like Reach multiplayer. Will the maps be added onto Reach, then? I remember Phil Collins speculating this.
I don't care about the multiplayer to be honest. Co-op is all I care about.
I feel the same way about Halo 4, to be honest. Multiplayer is a bonus.
We'll see how the gameplay is for Halo 4. WE'LL SEE.
I bet it has guns.
If they do have it, it'll be minimal - probably a "Better with Kinect" title. I don't think MS are stupid enough to put-off the average gamer. He said with trepidation.
This game will be so lame. Bungie should make a Marathon game to beat it into the ground.
All we saw was a CGI trailer, given the facts I think I have a right to be pessimistic as fuck about it.
Exactly. There's nothing to suggest that it'll be good or bad.
All of you need to shut the fuck up until we see gameplay :P JOE.
Will it have Kinect? Maybe.

TUNIS, 28 November 2012 – The Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Kandeh K. Yumkella, is on an official visit to Tunis this week and will also participate in an international Conference on productive work for youth that opens in the capital today.
Yumkella is meeting with President Moncef Marzouki; Prime Minister, Hamadi Jebali; Foreign Minister, Rafik Abdelsalem; Industry Minister, Lamine Chakari; and Environment Minister Mamia El Benna.
Minister Abdelsalem said the visit of the UNIDO Director-General and the Organization's efforts to organize a conference for Tunis and the MENA region were important and timely events. Employment creation is a top priority of the Government of Tunisia, particularly in this transition phase, and UNIDO's support is critical to finding innovative solutions for SMEs development, he said.
The minister added that the promotion of domestic and foreign investment was the answer for boosting employment and the strategic location of Tunisia in the Mediterranean was an appealing factor for investors. Tunisia is strengthening its international partnerships and looks at the Maghreb Union as one of the economic opportunities to enhance trade and investment in various sectors including renewable energy, said the minister.
Director-General Yumkella underlined the importance of boosting entrepreneurship development in order to facilitate domestic investment, growth and employment. He said that the conference would be an example of the catalytic role played by UNIDO in bringing together donors, International organizations, national institutions, NGOs and entrepreneurs to share good practices and find innovative solutions for youth employment.

Dear Car Coach: We just had some really snowy days. The plows weren't out early enough and then everyone was driving so slow. Please remind drivers how to drive on snow.
Dear A.M.: I have experienced the same frustration with super slow drivers, but slowly down to some degree is wise. This time of year you never know when to expect black ice, heavy snow, icy roads or a mixture of road conditions.
So what do you do if you find yourself driving sideways? Do you remember what you learned in driver's ed?
Here are a few simple steps to help keep you on the road and less stressed.
Loss of vehicle traction over slippery conditions, or for whatever reason, is always dealt with in the same manner. The object is to maintain your original path by looking where you want your vehicle to stop, and resisting the natural urge to look at trees and other objects you don't want to strike, including pedestrians.
Step 1: Understand that the process for recovering from a skid is the same for cars with front- or rear-wheel drive.
Step 2: Maintain eye contact with a safe area where you want your vehicle to go.
Step 3: Take your foot off both the gas and brake pedals immediately.
Step 4: Turn smoothly into the direction you want the car to go. Then slowly add the gas to stay on the path.
Do not slam on the brakes. Locked, sliding tires have no directional control.
For stopping suddenly: Vehicles with ABS (anti-lock braking system) can, in most situations, step lightly and keep constant pressure on the brake pedal. You will feel a pulsation under your foot. That's the ABS doing its job.
The key to driving in icy conditions is to move slowly and brake gently.
Step 1: Use the defroster and windshield wipers for better visibility.
Step 2: Brakes are not your friend – the gas pedal will help you get out of a skid and stay on the road.
Step 3: Give sufficient warning time to other drivers when turning, stopping or changing lanes.
Step 4: Keep plenty of distance between cars, two to three car lengths' distance between cars at the minimum. You never know when you will hit an icy spot.
Step 5: If you do skid, turn the wheels into the direction of the skid and slowly add the gas.
Step 6: Keep in mind that melting ice is still slippery. Drive slower so that your tires can push water through their grooves for better traction.
Tips and warnings
• Four-wheel-drive cars maneuver better on snow, but that doesn't mean they can stop quickly. Leave plenty of distance between you and other cars. If you pass the same landmark as the car in front of you within 10 seconds, you are following too closely.
• Avoid cruise control when driving on ice.
It can also be helpful to practice these techniques in an empty lot so you will be prepared if you experience loss of traction.
Dear Car Coach: Yesterday I was at the DMV to renew my driver's license and the person in front of me couldn't read the last line on the vision chart. The person working at the DMV gave them three chances and they barely made it. What are the state rules?
Dear D.L.: New York State is requiring a vision test as it did in the past. Here is what it says on the state application in part:
All drivers must take a vision test when they renew their driver's licenses. You can take the vision test by two methods:
An eye-care professional must conduct your vision test, and complete form MV-619 or form MV-619R. The form MV-619R is included with your driver's license renewal notice. If the form MV-619 or form MV-619R has a print date of 9/03 or earlier, the form is valid for six months after the date of the eye test. If the form has a print date of 3/04 or later, the eye-care professional marks a box on the form to indicate if the form is valid for six months or for 12 months after the date of the eye test.
An eye-care professional in another state or country can complete form MV-619 or form MV-619R. The form or letter must indicate that you passed a vision test for a visual acuity of 20/40 (or better) on the Snellen Visual Acuity Scale.

I never can figure out the trick to blogging STILL.
So many times I write something just to write it and it ends up having the best response. (For example, I totally thought the post about Gray and his shirts would have like no comments and it had the most all week aside from my contest!)
I was encouraged after writing the post about when and where I wear Ivy- another one that I almost didn't publish- and thought it would be fun to hear about all of your babywearing adventures, and maybe do a little sling showing off.
On Friday April 10 I'll host a Mr. Linky here at 8 AM (CST) and you can link up your posts. Can be anything you want to post- a picture, story, tip, question, etc.- about babywearing.
I gotta get back to packing for our trip to the Hallmark Headquarters. It's already here! I can't wait!

Microsoft just announced a big bug that many users of its Windows
Home Server users may wish to take note of. Microsoft warned users not to
edit files stored on their Windows Home Servers. Editing and saving files
on a home computer connected to Windows Home Server can lead to data corruption
within a week it has been discovered.
Microsoft describes the problem, stating, "When you use certain programs
to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may
become corrupted when you save them to the home server. Several people have
reported issues after they have used the following programs to save files to
their home servers."
Microsoft details that the following file types are among those affected:
has not yet announced a concrete schedule for the release of a patch to fix the
problem. It blames the current bug on an internal glitch with Windows
Home Servers' shared folders code. Microsoft is currently trying to
reproduce the bug and better understand it.
An anonymous
blog was posted on Microsoft's developers pages stating that
Microsoft's Windows Home Server Team is working full-time through the holidays
to try to fix the problem, so obviously it is a relatively significant issue.
Windows has aggressively tried to market its Home Server products and grow a
business in consumer backup storage. The Windows Home Server software retails for $189.99,
while a number of partners produce
the physical hardware. Among these is the HP 500GB EX470,
which retails for $599.99.
So for a
total of about $790 you can have a working home server set up for backup
operations -- you just probably don't want to back up your pictures, emails, or
torrent files on it for now.
quote: There were tens or hundreds of thousands of beta testers for WHS, and this never cropped up as a widespread issue. So I think that situation can speak for the severity of this particular problem.

West Virginia State Police arrested an Elkins man Thursday for first-degree sexual assault dating back to 2006.
Lawrence Patrick Lipscomb, 36, is accused of having sex with an underage female sometime between June 1, 2006 and Aug. 31, 2006, according to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's Office.
Lipscomb remained in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a $50,000 cash-only bond, as of presstime Thursday.
Article Photos
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources referred the alleged sexual assault case to Cpl. K.A. Corley with the Elkins detachment of the WVSP for investigation, the complaint stated.
When the 13-year-old alleged victim was interviewed in September, she reportedly told Child Advocacy Center officials that Lipscomb came into her bedroom and sexually assaulted her while her mother was at work sometime during the summer of 2006.
She said she was age 7 or 8 and in second grade at the time of the alleged sexual assault, according to the complaint.
The penalty for individuals convicted of first-degree sexual assault is 25 to 100 years in the state penitentiary and a $5,000 to $25,000 fine.

We all have livers, but how often do we really think about them?
Unlike your heart, your liver doesn't pound when you feel nervous. Unlike your stomach, your liver doesn't make growling noises when you get hungry.
As long as your liver stays healthy, it's easy not to notice it.
Although your liver works "behind the scenes," it's one of the largest and most important organs in your body. It not only produces substances to help digest and use food, but it also performs more than 300 other functions.
Your liver is located in the upper right-hand part of your abdomen, protected by your ribs.
A healthy liver is dark reddish-brown in color, and is shaped like a wedge. Some doctors have described the liver's shape as that of a football that's been flattened on one side.
In an adult, the liver weighs about three pounds and has two lobes — the right and the left.
