terrible disappointment
by used to love ram from Ohio | October 15, 2010
I made the mistake of buying a 2010 ram 3500 to haul my 35'fifth wheel RV I traded off my 01 ram with a 5.9 cummins that I loved. Plenty of power to do anything and 20 mpg to boot.This truck on the other hand is the doggiest truck Ive ever driven and only gets 16 mpg at best.Its been in the shop already with only 12759 miles for "eroneous codes" What the heck is that? I swear its performance is even worse after the reflash.They assured me no operating perameters were changed but I cant believe it. I would NOT recomend the 2010 ram at all!!

One tough truck
by Whitenite from Summerland B.C. Canada | June 1, 2010
Love the new Ram HD Cummins truck. Quite and comfortable, way smoother ride than before. Laraamie interior is the nicest i've seen in a truck. Heated and cooled seats front and rear, heated steering wheel, Tons of storage, in floor storage, 500 watt surround sound Alpine sound system is stock, DVD, back-up camera and Uconnect are all great. This truck is fantastic on the rough backroads, and tows a heavy load with ease. Cummins engine is bullet proof and new 6 speed trans is strong and works great when under load.

Lot # 913 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1930 Atlas Indicator Works Countertop Baseball Game
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $1,292.50
This attractive countertop baseball arcade game features a colorful rendition of a ball game in progress, which also serves as the backdrop to the "playing field." The game begins with the insertion of a penny in the upper right corner. A "bat" lever is then pulled which hits the penny onto the "field" where it will land in one of seven chutes: strike, single, double, triple, home run, sacrifice, and out. A strike or any base hit, other than a home run, keeps the penny in play. An out or sacrifice loses the penny. Three metal bars with sliding beads, situated below the "playing field," record the position of the base runners, innings, and runs, respectively. These machines are commonly referred to as "trade stimulators" and were actually a form of gambling, similar to gaffed carnival midway games. The machines were usually set up in bars where the owner would post a special payoff to anyone recording a home run. A special lever can be turned up in the home run chute to keep the penny from dropping into the machine. This would allow the lucky patron the opportunity to verify the home run and collect his winnings (under the table of course). As one might suspect, recording a home run is nearly impossible and for further insurance against a payoff, a mechanism in the rear can be adjusted which will insert a pin in front of the home run chute, ending any chance the patron may have had at collecting any money. Wood, metal, and glass construction. The game displays light general wear throughout including a few minor creases and abrasions to the illustrated "playing field." Excellent condition overall. The original key to the back panel lock is included. Dimensions: 13.25 x 12 x 8 inches. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $1,292.50

When social media first started gaining traction, CMOs and other B2B marketing heads saw the value of the new marketing channels. Since that time, social media marketing budgets have increased substantially, yet a majority of businesses fail to deliver a quantifiable return on their investment.
What can marketers do to ensure their efforts are generating a true and effective ROI? They can take these seven steps:
1. Know your why and set a goal
This is the critical first step that is needed to explain why an initiative is important enough to spend money on in the first place. State upfront what you are trying to accomplish and why you're doing it. It's important to outline clear deliverables such as increasing the number of leads from a source or securing a specific number of email sign ups from a certain initiative, and communicate why it's important.
2. Identify and target the right audience
Without knowing who the key customers will be, you run the risk of a scattered approach that may dilute your message and drastically increase your costs. Some sample questions to ask yourself to help: who in your current customer base is the right fit for your product or service? Who buys the most and why do they buy? What have they purchased from you before? Do their purchasing patterns suggest they might be a good target?
3. Develop specific content for the audience and determine the correct outlet or channel
Determine the best avenue and media format to communicate your content to an engaging audience. The answer is not typically a one-size-fits all approach. Will video communication work better than written content to better showcase your product? Should you write a 600 word blog post or are 140 character tweets more logical? Do status updates on Facebook make more sense?
4. Allow the product to market itself
Many businesses don't yet realize it, but providing a great product experience allows customers to determine if your product really fits their needs. One simple way to do this is to offer customers the opportunity to experience the product for free. The freemium strategy of the 21st century has created billions of users and spawned tremendous new business opportunities.
5. Generate brand advocacy
Creating and amplifying advocates should be front and center on every marketer's agenda. The blueprint for how to turn advocates and owned media into a powerful marketing force is the key. Get your brand on customers' pages in social media channels and have them share information with their networks about the product or service. This generates word of mouth marketing, which is one of the most effective kinds of marketing.
6. Engage with people on social networks
Too many businesses lack this step too. If your product or service is mentioned on a customer's social media page, engage with that person. Start a conversation directly with customers – it will make a huge impact of their perception of your product or brand. Engaging with customers on social media is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create brand advocates.
7. Track and analyze your success
Defining and determining a technology solution to track important metrics must be done proactively. You need to know what data you need to show, how to go get it, and then show it simply. There are a variety of services that can help you proactively gauge the impact of your strategy, so that in the end you have a tangible ROI that is defensible in front of any CMO or CEO.
Social media marketing is the biggest opportunity to marketers since the web, and it's now time to develop a clear strategy, create advocates, and generate leads and sales.
Next time you have to justify your budget to implement a successful social media campaign and provide a tangible ROI, rely on these seven steps to get you there.

The Garth Englund Blood Center is seeking blood donations to alleviate a critical shortage at Poudre Valley Hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies.
There is no shortage at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley. Community Outreach coordinator Andrea Hawkins said the NCMC Blood Donor Center is providing Poudre with blood.
"The cold and flu season makes a big impact with the number of donors," Hawkins said. "They have to wait seven days after the last day of their symptoms, so that just delays folks."
Blood donations usually decrease during the holiday season and pick up in January, according to a University of Colorado Health news release. This year, however, Poudre has not seen the increase.
University of Colorado Health employees donated during the holidays to help fend off shortages, but the problem persists.
"If every donor that's eligible to donate would just donate, we wouldn't have critical needs like this," Hawkins said. "But people are busy, so we give them gentle pushes."
All blood types are sought. The most critical needs are for O Positive and O Negative.
Appointments for donation to the Poudre Valley Hospital can be made by calling the center in Fort Collins at (970) 495-8965 or in Loveland at (970) 624-1510. Walk-in donations are also welcome in Fort Collins at 1025 Pennock Place, Suite 104, two blocks north of PVH and in Loveland at 2500 Rocky Mountain Ave. Appointments can also be made online at www.pvhs.org/bloodcenter.
NCMC is taking donations at 1801 16th St. in Greeley. Appointments can be made at (970) 350-6100.

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press file photo
Jack Dempsey/Associated Press file photo
Almost any time Ray Lewis has lined up over the last 17 years, he has been the best linebacker � if not the best player � on the field.
If Lewis is in uniform Sunday when the Ravens play the Broncos that might not be the case.
With his rare combination of around-the-corner speed and nimble footwork that helps him beat offensive tackles, then dance over fallen quarterbacks, Denver�s Von Miller is changing the equation.
�I looked up to him when I was younger,� the 23-year-old Miller said of Lewis, the two-time defensive player of the year and a seven-time Associated Press All-Pro. �I look up to him now.�
While Lewis has spent the better part of the season on injured reserve with a torn triceps, Miller is staking out Lewis� old territory as arguably the most disruptive linebacker in the game.
He was last year�s defensive rookie of the year and is on the short list to be named this year�s defensive player of the year. He heads into the 14th game of the season with 16 sacks, one short of Elvis Dumervil�s single-season franchise record. Miller has at least one sack in the last six games, along with six forced fumbles and a total of 24 tackles in opposing team�s backfields.
In other words, he is a player opposing offenses must account for in their game plans, and if that sounds familiar in Baltimore, it should. Teams have been planning around Lewis for years.
�They�re both extremely passionate, they both love to play, they both disrupt games. That�s about where the similarities end,� said Broncos� defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, who also coached Lewis during his early years in Baltimore. �Both of them are extremely different in how they impact games. Ray was probably the best inside linebacker to ever play. ... Von�s an amazing edge guy, a sack man, a guy who can disrupt. I�d like to have both of them, but I�m sure glad we have Von.�
Among the storylines following Miller this week are the three fines he�s received from the NFL this year � for hits on quarterbacks Matt Schaub of the Texans, Cam Newton of the Panthers and Josh Freeman of the Buccaneers.
Miller has appealed all the fines. He said the Schaub one has been upheld, but he hasn�t heard back on the other two. He said he isn�t trying to hurt anyone but won�t change the way he plays, either.
�It really doesn�t bother me too much, because I know that�s not the type of player I am,� Miller said. �It�s just the type of circumstances that happened that put me in those positions.�
Lewis is eligible to come off the injured reserve list this week, though Ravens coach John Harbaugh isn�t tipping his hand. Not knowing whether they�ll face him, a number of the Broncos said they have to be prepared for Lewis� intensity if he is in uniform come Sunday.
�I�ve always kind of kidded that Ray is just as intense and passionate in the fourth quarter of the fourth preseason game as he is in the first quarter of a playoff game,� said Peyton Manning, who is 8-0 against Lewis and the Ravens, including playoffs, since 2002. �It�s real, and that�s pretty special and pretty unique.�
Miller, who likes to speak of his �fanatical effort,� shows all signs that he can match Lewis� intensity and, like Lewis, that he can do it with his own signature flair. Lewis� trademark is �The Squirrel� � the frenetic dance he does when he comes out of the tunnel during pregame introductions. Miller prefers to do his dancing after he sacks the quarterback.
The linebackers haven�t crossed paths often, but when they do, Miller tries to take advantage of Lewis� expansive knowledge.
�I�ve had the opportunity, the blessing, just to be in his presence and talk to him and pick his mind a little bit, so that�s great,� Miller said.
Miller�s second-year surge has been as big a boost for the Broncos on defense as Manning�s arrival has been for the offense. It�s a big reason the Broncos are 10-3, with the AFC West title already secured and a chance at a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Denver has the fourth-ranked defense in yards allowed and has given up fewer points than anyone in the AFC. Denver has 39 sacks this season, tied for second in the NFL, and Miller�s presence accounts for more than just the 16 he�s recorded.
�In my eyes, I think he�s been, all around, maybe the defensive player of the year,� Dumervil said. �He�s been really working at all phases of the game. He�s a big part of what we�ve got accomplished so far, so it�s been great.�

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
President Obama is expected soon to sign into law a five-year reauthorization of the array of federal biodefense programs created after 9/11, following overwhelming passage of the final version of the measure earlier this week by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The House's 370–28 vote on Monday came five days after the U.S. Senate passed by unanimous consent an identical version of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA). The bill (HR 307) now goes to Obama, who is expected to sign it. How closely future funding meets PAHPRA objectives, however, won't begin to emerge until Obama submits a budget for FY 2014.
The reauthorization extends much of the original Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act from federal fiscal years 2014 through 2018, with some significant changes.
For example, PAHPRA reauthorizes the federal Special Reserve Fund (SRF) to purchase medical countermeasures against such diseases as anthrax, botulism, and smallpox for the Strategic National Stockpile. SRF will be funded at $2.8 billion over the five-year period—half the $5.6 billion over 10 years set aside when the fund was created a decade ago. If the SRF dips below $1.5 billion, HHS must notify Congress, and explain the potential impact on priorities for medical countermeasures (MCMs) to address chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
SRF was created through the Project BioShield Act of 2004, one of two bills being renewed through the new legislation. The other is the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006, which established the Biodefense Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The measure authorizes HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to support innovation under BARDA by promoting "vaccine-manufacturing technologies, dose-sparing technologies, efficacy-increasing technologies, and platform technologies."
Perhaps the most important provision of the reauthorization for drug developers is a new requirement that Sebelius facilitate written management plans governing development and regulatory review of MCMs.
Drug sponsors would launch the process through a written request to Sebelius' office that would include a proposed "regulatory management plan." FDA would work with sponsors to hammer out such a plan within 90 days. Regulatory management plans would include developmental milestones and performance targets and goals for MCM candidates, with BARDA director Robin Robinson, Ph.D., prioritizing which MCMs may receive plans if resources aren't available for all candidates.
"The regulatory management plans help solidify the process for figuring out how to get new medical countermeasures through the FDA and into the stockpile. Working with sponsors to develop these unique clinical studies and identify appropriate animal models will better enable the FDA and sponsors to make scientific decisions and hopefully expedite the regulatory process," Phyllis Arthur, senior director, vaccines, immunotherapeutics, and diagnostics policy for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), told GEN.
"The cornerstone issue with MCMs is that the clinical process is not very clear because they are not basic drugs. Sponsors have the opportunity to work with BARDA and FDA to develop clinical studies, identify the right animal models, and determine milestones in the absence of human efficacy trials, so that when an emergency comes, there are assurances that these products are going to work," Arthur said.
Another change, intended to speed up MCM R&D, will extend from eight years to 10 years the time during which a security countermeasure should qualify for approval or licensing for inclusion in Project BioShield.
PAHPRA formalizes Sebelius' authority over MCMs by authorizing her to extend the expiration date of MCMs during emergencies if the extension is intended to support the U.S.' ability to protect public health or military preparedness and effectiveness, and the extension is supported by "an appropriate scientific evaluation." Sebelius is also authorized to allow MCM makers to deviate from good manufacturing practice when warranted by "the circumstances of a domestic, military, or public health emergency or material threat."
PAHPRA also requires Sebelius to solicit input from Nicole Lurie, M.D., assistant secretary for preparedness and response, and Dr. Robinson on pediatric studies for MCMs. Sebelius must notify both about all pediatric studies for which FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg, M.D., issues written requests. Pediatric issues will also be addressed through a new National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters to be created under the reauthorization. The panel's work would end September 30, 2018.

The case of an Elkins woman who allegedly bribed a girl under 13 to pose as her daughter so she could obtain money from a man has been bound over to Randolph County Circuit Court.
Chief Magistrate Ben Shepler found probable cause in the case of 33-year-old Corcia Smith-who is charged with one felony count of abduction of a person, kidnapping or concealing a child- Thursday during a preliminary hearing on the matter in Randolph County Magistrate Court.
Smith also goes by the names Corcia Ramey and Shelly Smith, and has reportedly used other aliases, according to court documents.
Article Photos
The charge stems from a Sept. 23, 2012, incident, during which Smith is alleged to have bribed a female minor to act as her daughter so she could obtain money under false pretenses from a man, Jimmy Tincher, according to a previous report.
The first witness called by Assistant Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Lori Gray was James E. Cornett, 19, of Elkins, who was also arrested on kidnapping charges for allegedly offering the two female minors $20 to pretend to be Smith's daughters.
Cornett knew Smith, he said, because Smith let him live with her when his house burned down.
Cornett testified that on Sept. 23, 2012, Smith told him to find a female minor who would pretend to be her daughter so Smith could get money from Tincher to take the "daughter" to the carnival at the upcoming Mountain State Forest Festival.
Cornett said he then approached two girls under the age of 13 - one of whom was his cousin - "and asked them if they wanted to make $20."
The two followed Cornett back to a Central Towers apartment, where Smith took the girl who wasn't his cousin into the bathroom.
Cornett's cousin declined to participate in the ruse, according to the criminal complaint.
Cornett said he didn't believe the girls were in any danger.
"It wasn't like she was going to harm them," Cornett said, "and I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, but I've learned that ignorance is no excuse with the law."
The female minor Smith took into the bathroom testified that Smith "said I was going to act like her daughter because she needed money, and she was going to get money for me acting like her daughter." Smith proceeded to dress her in two different outfits and did her hair and makeup, the minor testified. She also said Smith gave her a "white, longish" pill intended to alleviate hives that had developed on her arms.
"Were you afraid not to do what she said?" Gray asked the girl.
"Sort of," the minor replied.
"Were you afraid to leave?" Gray asked.
"Yes," the minor said.
The minor said Smith promised her money - either $20 or $50 - for pretending to be her daughter, and that after Smith dressed her, the two got in a truck with Tincher, who drove them to Wendy's to get something to eat.
"She (Smith) told (Tincher) I needed medicine and all this stuff," the minor said. "She got like $200 from him. She told me 'If you keep hanging out with me, he'll take us to the mall.'"
When she was in the truck with Tincher and Smith, the minor asked to use Smith's phone to call her parents. Prior to encountering Cornett, the two female minors had been planning to spend the night at Cornett's cousin's house, so when the minor called her parents, she told her mom that she was already at her friend's house and asked to spend the night. Her mom said yes.
Gray asked the minor if Smith had touched her in any way during the course of their interaction.
"At Wendy's, when she was acting like I was her daughter, she put her arm around me and rubbed my legs," the minor said.
"And did that make you feel uncomfortable?" Gray asked.
"Yes," the minor answered.
The minor's mother, Sherry Nicholson, testified that upon learning her daughter was missing, she called the phone number her daughter had called from - the number to Smith's cell phone.
"(Smith) answered and said she was Shelly, one of (my daughter's) friends, and I said, 'my daughter doesn't have any friends named Shelly,'" Nicholson testified. "She said, 'we're just chilling, we're getting something to eat and we'll be home in a little bit.'"
Nicholson said she told Smith, "you have 10 minutes to get my daughter home" and asked to speak with her daughter, but Smith hung up.
In a panicked attempt to reach her daughter, Nicholson repeatedly called Smith's cell phone, but Smith kept hitting the "decline" button, Nicholson testified.
"I did not know this woman," Nicholson said emphatically. "She had no permission to have my daughter in any way, shape or form."
Tincher and Smith brought the minor back to Central Towers soon after the trip to Wendy's, where the mother of Cornett's cousin was waiting in a van to pick her up, according to the minor's testimony.
The minor said that Smith wouldn't let her leave initially and instead insisted that she go upstairs to the apartment to return the clothes Smith had dressed her in.
When the minor's dad picked her up from the Central Towers apartments, the minor was significantly shaken up, her mother said.
"When she got home, she was vomiting, she was ill, she was scared to death," Nicholson said.
Smith's attorney, William T. Nestor, argued that Smith didn't actually "take" the minor - Cornett did, he said, and noted that his client had allowed the minor to contact her mother.
"I clearly believe something awkward happened, but I don't think it's actionable," Nestor said. "It's a conglomeration of a whole lot of weird stuff that doesn't fit the law books of this state. It's a little strange, yes, but illegal, no."
Shepler begged to differ on the question of whether or not anything illegal had taken place, saying it is illegal for a person to falsely use someone or something to obtain money or goods.
In addition to finding probable cause, Shepler refused to modify Smith's bond, which is set at $50,000 cash or surety.

, updated February 7, 2013 at 7:56 AM
WASHINGTON – As the U.S. Border Patrol's Buffalo sector has stepped up its efforts to arrest illegal immigrants, it may also have vastly expanded a bonus system that can reward agents with cash, extra vacation time and even Home Depot gift cards.
And perhaps as a result, 277 of those arrested on immigration charges between 2006 and 2011 by agents based in Rochester – who are part of the Buffalo sector – were in the U.S. legally and should not have been arrested.
Those were the key conclusions of a report by Families for Freedom, a New York based immigrant advocacy group, and the New York University Immigrant Rights Clinic – a report that prompted Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand to voice serious concerns in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
A focus on arrest rates, "coupled with a policy of rewarding arresting agents with bonuses, casts doubt over the fairness of each arrest," Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said in the letter, which her office released Wednesday.
"Indeed, agents may be more likely to employ discriminatory methods such as racial profiling simply to bolster their arrest totals," Gillibrand said.
Families for Freedom said it uncovered the focus on arrests and the bonus program through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which produced records detailing the Border Patrol's work in the 29 New York and Pennsylvania counties in the Buffalo sector.
The resulting information probably reveals just a snippet of what's likely a national program to reward Border Patrol agents for the number of arrests they make, claimed Abraham Paulos, executive director of Families for Freedom.
"The report is really about what we don't know," Paulos said. "This is just a window into the Border Patrol's culture of policing."
In a statement, though, the Department of Homeland Security denied rewarding Border Patrol agents for their arrests.
"No such practice of paid incentives and awards for specific human targets or enforcement actions has ever occurred within the Border Patrol, nor will it ever occur within the ranks of any [Customs and Border Protection] component," the statement said.
Asked what the bonuses were paid for, then, agency spokesperson Joanne Ferreira would only say: "Got to refer you to the statement."
And while the Border Patrol had earlier denied that it keeps track of arrests by agents in its various stations, the Families for Freedom lawsuit revealed that the agency keeps meticulous records on how many arrests are made each day, and where they occur.
"USBP's policy of closely monitoring and circulating arrest numbers encourages stations and individual agents to focus their efforts on making as many arrests as possible," the report said.
Meanwhile, Families for Freedom's efforts also revealed that the Border Patrol has three separate incentive programs for agents in its Buffalo sector.
Agents can get cash awards of up to $2,500 a year, time-off rewards of up to 40 hours and $100 gift cards from Home Depot and other retailers.
"The documents produced in the litigation show that this program allows station managers to recommend cash bonuses to arresting agents on a discretionary basis," Families for Freedom said, adding that it only made sense that for agents, more arrests would result in a bigger bonus.
Families for Freedom said the cash award bonus program has been in place for several years, and that the money spent on it annually had grown from $6,000 in 2003 to $194,890 in fiscal 2011.
What's more, as the bonus program has grown, so has the Border Patrol's propensity for arresting the wrong guy.
Families for Freedom's lawsuit produced arrest records in the Border Patrol's Rochester station, which is part of the Buffalo sector. According to those Rochester records, 277 people were arrested improperly between 2006 and 2011.
"The actual number is probably far higher because CBP did not formally instruct its agents to document these arrests until June 2010," the Families for Freedom report said.
Twelve of the people arrested improperly were U.S. citizens and 52 were permanent legal residents, while the rest either had valid visas, were involved in pending immigration proceedings or had been granted asylum in the U.S.
Africans, Asians and Middle Easterners made up the vast majority of those arrested improperly, the records show, prompting Gillibrand to question whether racial profiling was taking place.
"I implore the department to implement data-collection mechanisms to detect any pattern of potentially discriminatory conduct," Gillibrand said in her letter.
In addition, Gillibrand's office said the senator plans to introduce legislation that will force federal agents and local law enforcement officers working with them to record why people are being stopped, their demographic characteristics, their immigration status and other key information.
That information would have to be compiled and reported to Congress annually.
In the meantime, though, Gillibrand sought immediate action on the issue from Napolitano.

Dallas-based Hillwood is building Amazon.com a center at its AllianceCalifornia development
Looks like Dallas-based Hillwood may have an inside track on Amazon.com Inc.'s future fulfillment centers in Texas.
Hillwood said on Thursday that Amazon.com plans to open a fulfillment center in a 950,0000 square-foot facility under construction in the AllianceCalifornia project in San Bernardino, Calif.
A joint venture between Hillwood and New York-based Clarion Partners is developing the project. Construction started earlier this year and Amazon plans to move in by early fall.
In a news release, Amazon.com vice president of global customer fulfillment Dave Clark thanked Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, state and local government officials for their support. Translation: He's glad that an agreement was reached with the state last fall over sales tax collections. Amazon got another year of tax-free shopping for its California customers. It starts collecting in September when the fulfillment center opens with 1,000 new workers.
In the same news release, Hillwood senior vice president John Magness also thanked officials and noted that "we've been planning to develop this property for some time, and we're thrilled that Amazon will be moving in after the facility is completed." Translation: We thought we had lost Amazon for good there for a while last year when its negotiations with the state appeared to be breaking down.
In Texas, Hillwood operates AllianceTexas. There must be room somewhere on that 17,000-acre development for an Amazon.com fulfillment center.
Last week, Amazon agreed to spend $200 million on new distribution facilities in Texas and create 2,500 over the next four years.
After a four-year stalemate, Texas Comptroller Susan Combs wasn't in the mood for extending the tax holiday for Amazon and insisted that it begin collecting sales tax from its Texas customers on July 1.
Amazon has reached agreements with other states in recent months and some offered to delay Amazon's sale tax collection duties in their states until 2014, or before that if federal rules are created.
Making Internet sales taxes uniform across all states appears to be one of the few topics with lots of bipartisan support among state officials and in Congress. And Amazon has publicly supported it.

Register all weapons in national database
I am extremely pleased to have read the letter equating gun ownership with car ownership. All 50 states require all vehicle purchases, including private sales, to be registered with the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Guns should also be registered on the same basis.
I am a retired U.S. Customs inspector. Vehicle ownership information is available to law enforcement agencies nationwide through a computer database called NLETS. Currently, law enforcement has greater capabilities to determine if a car is stolen than if a gun is stolen, due to NLETS. Gun owners should receive the same protection against thieves as car owners. The federal government should set up a computer database of guns owned in the United States to deter theft.

Howard Clothing & Sporting Goods Inc - Shenandoah, IA - Phone: (712) 246-2231
'Clothing' refers to garments collectively. Different types of clothes are worn in different countries. Clothes protect the body from various elements. Men's clothing differs from that of women's. �Formal suit, as office and formal wear, is a popular choice in men's clothing in Shenandoah. A suit consists of a trouser, jacket, shirt and a necktie. The most important feature of a suit is fabric and, hence, it's very important to select the right kind of fabric. Business suits are generally black or grey in color. While selecting a tie an individual should remember that necktie should be a shade darker than the shirt . Shirt worn with a suit must be smartly matched with formal shoes. The most popular choice of color with men is black. Men's casual clothing consists of shorts, cargo pants, jeans, casual shirts, etc. More recently, however, the garment industry has been revolutionizing men's fashion in Shenandoah, and simple dressing has been replaced with fashionable dressing. Accessories such as sunshades, watches, caps, hats, belts, wallets have become important part of men's dressing. The companies manufacturing men's accessories have witnessed huge profits in Shenandoah in recent years.

WASHINGTON – A deeply divided Congress on Sunday pushed the nation perilously closer to a Jan. 1 "fiscal cliff" of record tax hikes and draconian spending cuts, as late involvement by Vice President Biden did nothing to resolve a partisan stalemate on the issue.
A day of anxious waiting on Capitol Hill ended shortly before 6 p.m., when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that the Senate's rare Sunday session was ending.
"There's still time left to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations," said Reid, D-Nevada, who also acknowledged that there is "still significant distance between the two sides."
That being the case, other lawmakers were pessimistic.
"I'm incredibly disappointed we cannot seem to find common ground," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., tweeted earlier in the afternoon. "I think we're going over the cliff."
Reed adjourned the Senate until 11 a.m. today, when it will begin its first New Year's Eve session in 42 years. Meanwhile, the House conducted a series of votes on noncontroversial measures as it awaited the Senate to take the lead in resolving the fiscal cliff.
Hopes that a deal might be struck were raised briefly Sunday when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told colleagues that he had been in telephone contact with Biden.
Biden and McConnell are experienced in crafting the sort of last-minute, "Perils-of-Pauline" deals that have become the only way to get anything major done on Capitol Hill.
In late 2010, for example, they collaborated on a two-year extension of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts, and in summer 2011 they worked on the deal to raise the federal debt ceiling in exchange for a promise of future budget cuts.
But those two deals combined to create the fiscal cliff, setting a Jan. 1, 2013, deadline for when those tax cuts are set to expire – thereby raising taxes on more than 90 percent of the American people – and when a set of deep spending cuts, equally split between defense and domestic programs, are set to take effect.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has warned that those tax increases and spending cuts could push the nation back into recession.
But that has done nothing to narrow the chasm between Democrats insisting on higher taxes on the wealthy and Republicans who are reluctant to increase any tax, ever.
President Obama remade his case for compromise in an appearance Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"We have been talking to the Republicans ever since the election was over. They have had trouble saying yes to a number of repeated offers," Obama said.
Hearing that, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, fired back at the president in a written statement.
"Americans elected President Obama to lead, not cast blame," Boehner said.
Behind the scenes, it seemed, negotiations were every bit as acrimonious as the comments by Obama and Boehner.
Reid and McConnell's negotiations ground to a halt early Sunday when Republicans demanded that the deal include a new measure of inflation that would be used to calculate Social Security cost-of-living increases.
In effect, that change would mean lower raises for Social Security recipients – something Reid and other Democrats refused to agree to, and that perhaps even raised concerns among Republicans. Emerging from a mid-afternoon meeting, several GOP senators said the move to change the inflation measure had been abandoned.
Hopes for such a big deal have long ago evaporated, and now lawmakers are focusing on the possibility of a much narrower deal: one that would prevent most of the tax hikes that are set to take effect this week, while allowing the automatic spending cuts to go through, at least for the time being.
Obama has insisted that taxes be raised on families earning more than $250,000, but he's also shown a willingness to settle for a threshold of $400,000.
That being the case, aides to Reid and McConnell were engaged in a negotiation that could end with a deal raising taxes on those making more than $400,000, congressional aides said Sunday. Democrats were pushing a proposal to raise taxes on those making more than $360,000, while Republicans were holding out for a hike only for those making more than $450,000.
The two sides also appeared to remain divided over the estate tax. Democrats want to raise the estate tax rate from the current 35 percent to 45 percent while taxing all estates worth more than $3.5 million, up from the current threshold of $5.2 million per person. But Republicans were resisting any changes to the estate tax.
With negotiations continuing, lawmakers from both parties said they were worried about the lack of progress.
"Our membership is as frustrated as the American people we were sworn to serve," said Rep. John Larson of Connecticut, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
"I'm concerned with the lack of urgency here. There's far too much at stake," McConnell said. "There is no single issue that remains an impossible sticking point – the sticking point appears to be a willingness, an interest or courage to close the deal."
Of course, that is nothing new in Washington, where Congress has almost allowed the government to shut down and the federal treasury to max out its debt limit before striking last-minute budget deals in recent years.
But there is one difference this time: Now Congress will spend New Year's Eve trying to avert a crisis it concocted.
Which is why David Frum, a former speech writer for former President George W. Bush, tweeted: "As we head toward New Year's Eve deadline, interesting possibility that Congress will determine fiscal future of U.S. while intoxicated."

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...

"New responsibility creep" can drain the satisfaction science jobs provide. We describe strategies and tools to redesign your job to reflect your interests and goals.
The house may look good, but with those additions, what's it like inside? Is getting from bedroom to kitchen a tortured journey through twisting hallways, up random stairs, around imposing walls? Does the house's design enhance its occupants' quality of life?
Science jobs resemble houses with additions. They begin with simple structures. Then, as houses respond to new needs with additions, science jobs respond to "new responsibility creep" with new tasks. Like the evolved house, the evolved job may look good on the outside but be problematic inside. Its new tasks may dilute the scientist's core interests, diverge from the scientist's purpose and goals.
The ebb and flow of projects in science organizations makes it feasible for most scientists to redesign their job to better meet their needs. The payoff for redesign can be significant, like the difference between microwaving a packaged dinner and making a recipe from scratch. Cooking the meal takes a bit more effort but yields a more personalized, satisfying dining experience.
Three redesign tasks keep science jobs as satisfying as they have the potential to be:
Answering these Foundations questions provides the core for redesigning jobs:
The ebb and flow of projects naturally beginning, developing, and concluding in science organizations makes it easy to redesign jobs, continuously bringing new opportunities for scientists to alter formal and informal roles, engage in studies, and work with mentors:
This concludes Part 1 of this blog post, providing the building blocks for the foundations and tools for redesigning science jobs. Part 2 of the post draws on the foundations and tools to produce a one-page document useful both for clarifying the scientist's thinking and negotiating changes in the job in the organization.

af Jimmetry 13. juni 2011
When the fuel in a vehicle hits the inside of the tank hard enough to shake it, nearly always cause by making sudden, unplanned turns. Tank slapping is a symptom of bad driving.
Many cars use special baffles to help reduce this.
Can also include the rider's legs on a motorcycle.

Trade Show Begins
Trade Show Begins
Over 760 trade show exhibitors are part of the 2010 World Dairy Expo, encompassing 650,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. Each year booths and displays are evaluated for design and layout and the top booth is selected in three catagories. The awards are sponsored by Filament Marketing of Madison, Wis. Winners receive a banner to display in their booth.
In the small booth division, Bonnie Mohr Studio earned the top award. Artist Bonnie Mohr redesigned her booth space, which is located just inside the entrance to the coliseum. This year marks the 25th year that Bonnie Mohr has had a trade show booth at World Dairy Expo.
In the intermediate division, Lely earned top marks, and also took home a new award, Best Outdoor Display, for their automated feed pusher. Their booth is located on the outside wall of the arena building.
Boumatic's milking system display was the winner of the large booth division. Their extensive display is located in the Exhibition Hall.
While only three booths were recognized, the variety and quality of the booths on display made for an enjoyable opening day to the trade show. Whether new technology was being displayed, advancements to current equipment, or advice on a dairy issue, there was something for everyone in the trade show. Here are a few of exhibitors enjoying opening day.

Sometimes, robots in Mega-City One manage to break their own programming, but it is normally done by criminals or technicians with a grudge. These robots can escape their former masters, and take up hiding within the darkest areas of the city, such as disused or irradiated sectors, or even the Undercity. Her, they meet up with other escaped robots, and may form a force intent on building its own criminal empire and bringing terror to all the squashy pink beings that forced them into servitude.
A renegade robot force has access to a wide range of different units, allowing you to tailor them to the enemies you are likely to face. The downside is that they can be very expensive to recruit

A letter in the Sept. 4 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Editor:
There are some misconceptions on the Health Plan for Wisconsin. One is that teachers are exempt. They are not. They, too, will be required to participate in this plan.
Another is that people will abuse the emergency room. The plan already has a penalty written in for that ($60, Healthy Wisconsin Proposal, Page 7).
An individual is covered under Healthy Wisconsin if the individual is under age 65 and has maintained his or her place of permanent abode in this state for at least 12 months, and maintains a substantial presence in this state. The individual also needs to be gainfully employed. With these requirements we should not be a magnet state for welfare.
State Sen. Don Friske's statement that Badger Care costs went up 33 percent from 1999 to 2006 is true, but everyone's medical costs went up.
The Tomahawk area has a good access and quality of health care. State Rep. Don Friske's statement about quality health care in Tomahawk is accurate. If the populous cannot afford health care, will the Tomahawk area still be able to continue with the same quality of health care. State Rep. Don Friske has affordable health care. The Employee Trust Fund covers almost 200,000 people, which includes State Rep. Don Friske, with affordable health care. If he can have affordable health care coverage, all gainfully employed Wisconsin residences should have the same affordable health care. This can happen through the Healthy Wisconsin Proposal.
Details on Healthy Wisconsin are available on the web site www.legis.state.wi.us/lc/publications/im/im_2007_03.pdf.

Stetson found itself in an unfamiliar position against visiting UNF Thursday night.
Trailing by four at halftime, the Hatters were forced to play catch-up for most of the second half before pulling ahead late for a 75-67 Atlantic Sun Conference victory in front of an energetic crowd of 1367 at the Edmunds Center.
The victory was Stetson's fifth in a row and extended the Hatters' home court winning streak to 10 games.
"We were very fortunate to get this win, very fortunate." Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said.
Amber Porter led the Hatters offensively with 21 points and defensively with four blocks. Cherisse Burris recorded a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds, and C.J. Coddington added a career-high 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
"I thought C.J. did a great job," Bria said. "CeeCee rebounded the whole game and got some critical rebounds."
Stetson (13-5, 5-1 A-Sun) led briefly at 42-41 early in the second half, but Destinee Smith hit one of eight UNF three-pointers on the night to give the Ospreys (5-12, 1-5) the lead back. Over the next 10 minutes UNF never led by more than four but also prevented Stetson from tying the game until Burris hit a pair of free throws at the six-minute mark to knot the score at 64.
Stetson finally got over the hump on the next possession as Porter blocked Raneisha Lamar's attempt and Brianti Saunders grabbed the loose ball and went the length of the court for a tie-breaking layup.
"That's when we are playing our best basketball, when we are getting blocks and getting the ball on the run out," Bria said. "I thought we did a better job attacking their zone in the second half and really getting on the offensive glass."
Porter also scored on a layup the next time down to give Stetson a four-point lead, and Burris scored five of the team's seven points down the stretch to help preserve the victory.
It marked just the second time during the 10-game home court win streak that Stetson trailed at halftime. Stetson also had to rally late to defeat Nicholls State during the Hatter Classic.
"Anytime you play through some adversity it is good, especially for this young group," Bria said. "I prefer if we just played really well all the time, but they tend to do it differently. Anytime we can grow and have different people step up, it just shows we are a true team. We are hard to guard. You can't just zone in on one player. CeeCee and C.J. stepped up today. Amber came around in the second half."
Eight of Burris's rebounds came in the second half, as Stetson owned a 39-33 advantage on the boards. Jama Sharp dished out 10 assists for the fourth time this season. Brianti Saunders added nine points.
Stetson is now tied with Jacksonville and Northern Kentucky for second place in the league standings. The Hatters will host the Dolphins (8-9, 5-1 A-Sun) at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Veterans can need different kinds of help – and when they do, it serves them better to have lots of resources in one place.
That's the thinking behind a new "one-stop" center for military veterans in Western New York that will be opened in Buffalo in early April, coordinators of the project said.
"It brings people, it brings organizations, and it brings resources together," said Roger L. Woodworth, chairman of the center's board of directors.
"That's what makes us different," said Woodworth. "That is not out there yet."
By various counts, there are anywhere from slightly more than 100,000 military veterans in Western New York to as many as 250,000, according to organizers of the new center.
The nonprofit Veterans One-Stop Center, located at 1280 Main St. in Buffalo, will also serve active service members and be able to focus on veterans' families, organizers of the center said. Those receiving dishonorable discharges and those serving short stints in the military are welcome as well, Woodworth said.
"We welcome the broadest [array of people]," Woodworth said.
Available services and resources span a range – from social and health resources to educational and economic support, organizers said.
Services will be tailored to meet the needs of the individual veteran or service member, organizers said.
"We help you manage your goals," Woodworth said. "It's individual."
Among support resources will be job and employment assistance, peer mentoring, mental health counseling, benefits counseling, legal services and housing services, organizers of the center said.
"Right now, nearly everything we offer exists – it's out there," said Woodworth. "Instead of going to the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, it's like going to the supermarket."
Collaborators in the project include the Western New York Veterans Housing Coalition and Goodwill Industries of Western New York, Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo and Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo.
Erie County also is a participant in the project, through a few of the county's departments.
"We help bridge the gaps in what already exists, and we help the collaborations," Woodworth said. "We've made the connections, we've made the collaborations."

A mob of garnet followed behind cornerback Dakaire Alston as he streaked into the end zone after an 85-yard interception return with just seconds to play.
A fitting end to a second-half defensive masterpiece.
Wando scored 45 unanswered in the second half to run away with a 45-13 win over White Knoll in the Warriors' season debut Friday at home.
Alston's interception was the seventh turnover forced by the Wando defense in the second half.
"They were ready to play a physical AAAA ballgame," Wando head coach Jimmy Noonan said. "I'm very proud of our defense tonight."
Trailing 13-0 at halftime, Wando (1-0) allowed White Knoll (0-2) past the 50-yard line just twice through the final two quarters, once off a fumble and the other resulting from an interception for a touchdown.
Warriors safety Stephen Barrera intercepted a pass in the third quarter, then recovered a fumble in the fourth that set up Bailey Hart for a 4-yard touchdown run just seconds later to put Wando up 21-13.
"Our defense buckled down," Barrera said. "Our offense needed us to step up and we made some plays to help get them going."
Wando forced turnovers on White Knoll's first six drives of the fourth quarter. Five of those turnovers were turned into points within two minutes on the ensuing drive.
"We didn't execute," White Knoll head coach Dean Howell said. "I don't know. We just fell apart and next thing you know, you're behind. I felt like we were losing momentum in the first half when we should have kept scoring and couldn't do it. That's what makes me the sickest."
Five different players scored for Wando after the Warriors failed to reach the White Knoll red zone in the first half.
After being bottled up most of the first half, Wando running back Kenny Waring broke loose in the second, finishing with 122 yards and three touchdowns. Wando finished with 231 rushing yards, averaging 6.2 yards per carry.
Wando opens a three-game road trip next week starting with Ashley Ridge, and followed by trips to Lexington and Summerville. Wando was 0-7 on the road last season.
"This is a good start, but we have to learn how to get on the bus as well," Noonan said. "You have to win on the road over the year. We're going to enjoy this for a day then challenge our guys next week and prepare for a very good Ashley Ridge team."

To find a da Vinci nephrectomy surgeon, call 800-777-7775 or browse da Vinci physicians.
The kidneys are two small organs located behind the abdomen, on each side of the spine. By producing urine, kidneys remove toxic by-products and excess fluids from the body, which helps maintain a critical balance of salt, potassium and acid.
A common condition affecting the kidneys is blockage of the ureters, the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Blockages of the ureters can be present from birth or acquired through illness or injury, and can create serious side effects like infections and kidney stones. If left untreated, blockages can cause chronic pain and may damage the kidney over time.
Cancer, a second condition affecting the kidneys, can form in the small tubes inside the kidney, which are used for filtering blood, and in the center of the kidney where urine collects.
Non-cancerous kidney conditions involving a blockage can usually be treated by removing it; depending on the type of blockage, surgery may be used. Kidney cancer, on the other hand, is relatively resistant to radiation and chemotherapy. As a result, the gold standard treatment for localized kidney cancer is removal of the kidney or kidney tumors.
Kidney surgery is traditionally performed using an open approach, which requires a large abdominal incision. Another approach, conventional laparoscopy, is less invasive, but limits the doctor's dexterity, visualization and control, compared to open surgery (see below).
If your doctor recommends surgery for a kidney disorder or kidney cancer, you may be a candidate for a new, minimally invasive approach — da Vinci® Nephrectomy. da Vinci Nephrectomy for kidney conditions incorporates the best techniques of open surgery and applies them to a robotic-assisted, minimally-invasive approach. With da Vinci, doctors may perform a nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy – removal of all or part of the kidney. The da Vinci state-of-the-art technology helps your doctor perform a more precise operation than conventional instrumentation allows.
da Vinci® Nephrectomy offers numerous potential benefits over a conventional open surgery, including:
If you are a candidate for nephrectomy kidney surgery, talk to a Community urologist who performs the da Vinci Nephrectomy procedure.

New York State should give the University at Buffalo both the $50 million it needs to build a facility to conduct critical materials research and the $1 million a year to run it.
The money would be an investment in the type of creative technology that is in demand worldwide, and it would build on work already being done at UB.
As reported, UB has been making strides following last year's designation as home to a new State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics. Albany lawmakers also provided $200,000 in start-up money.
UB President Satish K. Tripathi has met with members of the state delegation working on ways to improve the center. He told them that there is no bigger priority on the university's wish list this year.
A new materials center could be built with some of the $1 billion funding pot designated last year by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for job creation in the Buffalo region, but that would require an industry partner and an ability to hit the ground running in creating jobs.
Tripathi also happens to be the co-chairman of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, which makes recommendations for that billion-dollar fund. But UB, as a designated State Center of Excellence, should not have to rely on that pot of money.
The Western New York region, the state and the nation stand to gain from major new investments in materials informatics.
The United States has a shortage of advanced materials for new technologies in the energy, automotive, clean tech and other industries. Research into the discovery and commercialization of these new materials, including synthetic replacements for strategic elements, is a critical need.
Building those capabilities at UB will decrease reliance on exports from China. Western New York companies would get a competitive advantage and create new-economy jobs. President Obama highlighted research in materials science as a major national effort.
Some tools are already in place at the university. Its Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus houses a world-class computer center. UB laid the groundwork years ago to specialize in this branch of nanoresearch and has hired more than 40 scientists with experience in the field and is looking for more.
The state started the ball rolling on materials research last year. Now it needs to fund the next big step at UB.

Bayard Rustin was born on March 17, 1912, to Florence Rustin, one of eight children of Julia and Janifer Rustin of West Chester
Pennsylvania. In 1937 he moved to New York City and enrolled in the City college of New York, although he never received a degree.
It was at this time that Rustin began to organize for the Young Communist League of City College. The communists' progressive stance
on the issue of racial injustice appealed to him, although he began to be disillusioned with them after the Communist Party's abrupt
about-face on the issue of segregation in the American military in the wake of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. In 1953,
Rustin was arrested for public indecency in Pasadena, California while lecturing under the auspices of the American Association of
University Women. It was the first time that Rustin's homosexuality had come into public attention, and at that time homosexual
behavior in all states was a criminal offense. Although the gay rights movement in the United States was still many years in the future,
Rustin's conviction and his relatively open attitude about his homosexuality set the stage for him to become an elder gay icon in the
decades to come. Although faced with vicious racism from some of the prison guards and white prisoners, Rustin faced frequent cruelty
with courage and nonviolent resistance. Bayard Rustin was an indispensable unsung force behind the movement towards equality for America's
black citizens, and more largely for the rights of humans around the globe.
