The plane carrying a New Jersey congressman on a fact-finding mission to war-torn Somalia was fired on by errant mortars as it took off from Mogadishu airport but arrived safely in Nairobi, Kenya.
U.S. Rep. Donald Payne (D-10th Dist.) said in a telephone interview from Kenya that he did not learn of the attack until landing in Nairobi.
"We took off and were not aware of the shelling," he said. "We found out when we got on the ground."
Nineteen Somali civilians were injured the mortars landed in residential areas near the airport. None of the six shells landed in the airport.
The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab later claimed responsibility for the mortar barrage in a statement posted on a militant Web site, according to the terrorism monitoring group SITE.
The group claimed it launched the attack after learning of Payne's visit, according to SITE. The militants, who have targeted peacekeepers in their attacks, strongly oppose the new Somali government. The U.S. State Department says its leaders have links to al Qaeda.
Payne said he did not know if the mortar attack was related to Sunday's daring and successful rescue of an American freighter captain being held hostage by pirates.
"I don't know, and I don't want to speculate," he said.
He said his trip was not announced in Somalia, and his departure today was later than planned.
Payne, chairman of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Africa and global health, had spoken today at a news conference in the presidential palace in Mogadishu, telling reporters he met with Somalia's president and prime minister during his visit. They discussed piracy, security and cooperation between Somalia and the United States.
In the telephone interview from Kenya, Payne said a new Somali government in place only two months was taking strides to unify most of the country's warring factions and was working on a plan to combat piracy. War-ravaged Somalia has not had an effective government for 18 years and is split among competing militias.
Payne told CNN he believed the United States could help lessen the piracy problem with strong support of Somalia's new government.
"I believe that a stable Somalia is really a key to a stable Africa," Payne told the network.
"I think that if we support this new government that we would see a decline in piracy," he added. "I think that it would be a dollar certainly well spent, because President [Sheikh] Sharif feels that you can stop piracy on the ground. Once they get out into the water, it gets very difficult."
Payne was the only lawmaker on the trip, but was traveling with a Library of Congress staff member who is an expert on Africa, according to his press secretary, Kerry McKenney.
The congressman's son, Newark Councilman Donald Payne Jr., said he was glad no one on his father's plan was injured by the mortar fire.
"They all missed. Good thing they can't shoot," he said.
He said he believed the attack was launched in retaliation for the killing of three Somali pirates Sunday by U.S. Navy snipers, which ended a five-day standoff over the hijacked ship and rescued Capt. Richard Phillips.
"I'm sure news travels very quickly," Payne Jr. said. "It's likely they knew what they were doing."
The congressman is not due back in the United States until tomorrow or Thursday.
Before Payne left for the Horn of Africa, he was briefed by the State Department, which discouraged him from making the trip.
"We provided the congressman with a briefing and gave him a very frank and straightforward assessment of the security situation on the ground," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters, noting the department has issued an advisory warning Americans not to travel to Somalia.
"We were aware of the threat," Payne said.
McKenney said Payne made the trip because "he felt it was important to travel there to see firsthand what was happening."
Payne Jr. said his father has made enemies in Africa by speaking out against oppressive regimes.
"He's not liked very much because he's critical of any government not doing right by its people," he said.
Payne travels to Africa often and his plane was fired at during an earlier trip to Somalia about 15 years ago, the congressman said.
"It's been a dangerous place for a long time," Payne Jr. said.
In October 1993, rebels shot down two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu and then engaged U.S. soldiers in a 12-hour fire fight. Eighteen U.S. Army rangers on a mission to capture a Somali warlord were killed in the attack.

Handloading and Reloading

Corn cob, walnut, blasting sand, glass beads,---. What are guide lines for each? I've been using only walnut up to now mostly for really dirty stuff.

Walnut = cleans more quickly.
Corn Cob = highly polishes more slowly.
Blasting sand & glass beads are used in sand blasters, not for case cleaning or polishing.
You don't even want any of it around your cases, tumbler, reloading dies, or firearms bores as it will scratch anything it touches.

I recently purchased once fired & tumbled brass from one of the many small time operators on the web.
The cases were incredibly clean and shiny. Really, really nice looking....
Some of them had a little of what looked like a flaky silicon type material.... almost like flaky sand, in them.
Made me wonder if that was from the range, or the tumbler.
I e-mailed the guy and asked him what he used in his tumbler, but he did not reply.
Trade secret I guess :rolleyes:
All this said... I prefer walnut over corn cob
February 14, 2013, 12:39 PM
Probably used one of those newfangled hydosonic thingy. They may have not rinsed the brass well when they took it out. I don't have a hydrosonic, may be my next reloading purchase, but my tumblers have worked for over a decade and do well with corncob, add an occasional dash of liquid car polish and it looks good enough for me.
February 14, 2013, 01:04 PM
Thanks rc
I had a wild notion to try some sand blasting sand, but see now that would be terrible mistake in that I could probably never get 100% of it out of the system. It's good to be able to bounce things off others in the know! Great forum!
February 14, 2013, 01:19 PM
Walnut dust is bad for the lungs, another point to keep in mind. Lyman makes a product called Tuff Nut that is walnut with a polishing compound. It will shine brass better than a...well, use your imagination. Some car polishes may contain chemicals harmful to the brass so I stick with those designed for tumbling brass.
February 14, 2013, 02:59 PM
I have been tumbling twice.
First go around, 4-5 hours on walnut with a half cap full of Nu-Finish.
Then I decap and size. At this point it looks cleaner than when it started.
Second go around, about 4 hours on corn cob with a half cap full of Nu-Finish.
Then I clean the primer pockets with a RCBS primer pocket brush and re-prime.
At this point, we are spotless and shiny.
I am new to reloading and this might be overkill, but the brass is pretty clean and it smells like a newly polished car. :D
I am pretty new at this so fire me! Oh and all my polishing is done outside well away from my house.

February 14, 2013, 07:55 PM
I like my brass a little shinier than walnut, so I use fine corncob
$34.83 with free shipping
(small enough that if you deprime first it doesn't get stuck in the flash hole).
February 14, 2013, 09:14 PM
For those who might live near a Granger Indust. Supply, they stock cob media for blasting in 14/20 screen size (real close to LGS media size) and it runs about $35 for a 40 lb box/bag. I take it over to a friend with a bag heat sealer , roll out an 18" bag which holds the same amount as my tumbler. It also seals in the media and keeps it dry. Lower cost per lb than regular media and my local warehouse usually has from 50-100 bags at anyone time. They will also ship ups if you not near one. Hope this helps.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a procedure used to treat arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) which is a tangle of blood vessels in the brain. SRS also is used to treat primary and metastatic brain cancer and inoperable tumors or areas of the brain.
SRS uses a high dose of radiation focused precisely on the AVM, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue such as the brain stem, nerves and eyes, and critical brain structures. It is a one-day, single dose, outpatient procedure requiring only local anesthesia for placement of a head frame.
Recovery time with SRS is quick and may be used in addition with other radiation methods including whole brain radiation.
Patients should tell their physician if they are claustrophobic.

IT HAS BEEN TWO years since the Thomas W. Buck Hosiery factory burned in Kensington, killing firefighters Lt. Robert Neary, 59, and Daniel Sweeney, 25.
In February, a grand jury declined to bring criminal charges against Nahman and Michael Lichtenstein, the New York father-and-son investors who owned the empty 19th century building and allowed it to fall prey to squatters and neglect.
So the Lichtensteins will never wear orange jumpsuits in punishment for the catastrophe that took the lives of two good men. At least the families of Neary and Sweeney - who have never received so much as an expression of condolence from the Lichtensteins - have civil suits pending against the slumlords.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Review
0. phoneArena 23 Mar 2013, 11:12 posted on
Another year, another Galaxy S phone! Since the very first Galaxy S, which came out in 2010, Samsung has been regularly refining and improving its formula for success in the mobile industry. It is mainly thanks to this series of handsets that the manufacturer is now enjoying lush revenue streams and having a profound influence over the whole Android ecosystem...

Battery test is out for S4! blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-battery-tests-are-done-heres-how-it-did/
381. tyson3 (Posts: 49; Member since: 15 May 2012)
I know these other phones look good and have a few new features but none match Samsung. I have the note 2 and no phone compares to what it does for everyday use. The features I find myself using more and they battery life is unmatched. The s4 will out perform these other phones just like the s3 did. Htc always has software issues along with being horrible with getting updates. Samsung beat apple for a reason and it continues to get better.
382. RohanM (Posts: 140; Member since: 15 Jan 2013)
Rather than s4 I will get htc one or butterfly. don't want same design phone after using s3. u will not feel like u have bought a new phone because of same old plastic design.

383. gtrxman (Posts: 122; Member since: 10 Sep 2011)
The S4 seems like a nice unit. Processor, RAM, camera all are impressive. However, to me, the new features are really quite useless. In terms of display, I have disliked Sammy's over-saturated colors for some time. It seems that it is likely a selling point for the phone though. Think about it. The brighter colors show better in a fluorescent lighting environment, making them look better than the competition. For me, seeing the unnatural colors day after day is a turn-off. While I absolutely hate Touch Wiz, it really doesn't matter to me since there are a number of third party launchers available which can make the phone much more useful and stock-like.

For the record, if anyone is considering an Xperia Z, slap yourself for even wasting the brain space. Sony has made terrible phones since their Ericsson days. This is coming from a seasoned AT&T employee.

Dear All,
Android is attracting 80 % of Malware of the Smartphone Market. For every 1% market share growth, the Malware is increasing by 10%. People are getting duped to the tune of Hundreds of millions of dollars due to attacks, trojans etc.
Please read the story below from NBCNEWS:
"Since 2011, Android's share of the worldwide smartphone market has skyrocketed from 49.2 percent to 68.8 percent. That success has not been unqualified, though: a staggering 79 percent of all malware on mobile devices targets Android machines.
According to Research firm, F-Secure Response Labs, which monitors digital threats around the world and keeps wary consumers informed and protected.The report states that while threat levels on BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Apple's iOS are relatively stable, Android's potential hazards have been multiplying at an alarming rate.
The most prominent risk comes in the form of premium SMS scams. These rogue programs are simple and often quite insidious. By masquerading as legitimate apps (such as "Angry Birds" or Instagram), premium SMS malware often installs a working version of the program, but one that requests permissions well in excess of what is normally required.
Gaining access to a user's credit card information, these programs then subscribe to costly messaging or subscription services, putting money directly into scammers' pockets.
Other popular Android hacks include banking Trojans, and anyone using a banking app should be watchful for this kind of malware. To make online banking possible, banks provide users with an authentication number, which is then saved in the phone's cache.
When hackers get their hands on these numbers, conducting seemingly legal transfers of money into shady accounts is simplicity itself. Last year, one particularly invasive Trojan called Eurograbber robbed users of over $47 million.
Android's rise in market prominence and its malware woes are linked, but a 20 percent increase in market strength does not explain a 200 percent increase in harmful software. In this case, Android's greatest strength is also its Achilles heel.
The platform is considerably more open and developer-friendly than its iOS competitor. While this gives Android operators more freedom in installing apps and modifying a phone's user interface, it also makes the operating system a much easier target for hackers."
Please share this story with everyone.

392. rassouli5 (Posts: 51; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
I'm a Windows Phone fan, but I must admit Sony Xperia Z is the most beautiful Smartphone I've ever seen in my life. And I also believe that it's definitley better than the S4, simply because it's Sony.
415. donfem (Posts: 646; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
I respect your statement but find your argument to be the dumbest statement anyone can put forward.
393. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
I choose the HTC One (bought today from Phones4U) and the Xperia Z which I have been using for a while. Here's the thing, as they say, you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig. In the S4's case, the lipstick is the software with the pig bit represented by the less than premium hardware....basically a "not so" cheap bit of plastic excrement.
414. donfem (Posts: 646; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
I guess you hate pigs but love bacon. In a world where performance is key, you are still talking about looks? Probably you can't tell what a good looking product is and ought to be.
394. Xavier1415 (Posts: 25; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
Buying HTC one sorry thanks but no thanks Samsung starting to remind me of apple. Had respect for u until u made the galaxy camera smh a waste
413. donfem (Posts: 646; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
And how has your respect affected the quality of the final product? Or affected the sale of the product? For everyone who goes with another product, many more will go the opposite way.

what is it with the "it looks like a toy" and "it's plastic" argument. do you really buy a phone based on the outside of it? HTC has always made good looking phones for the most part, but that comes at a price. personally, I don't care if it's made out of plastic, because I doubt that people from miles around are going to randomly ask to feel my phone to see what it's made of, then berate me because it's plastic, or fiberglass, or whatever. it's a pretty weak argument against samsung products.

I guess personal opinion should be taken as fact on these boards and should be accepted as final decision? If you do not like Samsung S4, then dn't buy. I don't need anyone to tell me about their choice of phones on an article reviewing a Samsung product. It is stupid for people here to thumb down a genuinely written review which is based on the writer's perspective, and talk about "I am buying this and that". A lot of people need to grow up.

Please no-body buy smartphone above £500 (although £500 is quiet a-lot) these companies are taking advantages now. :@
431. sswain (Posts: 56; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Above £500 IS what it costs, if you do not have a LENGTHY Contract, for a top of the Line Phone.
Look at the cost for a small Tablet or a Laptop with equal Benchmark Scores (AND with a 1080P Screen and Cellular connectivity), a smaller (more miniaturized) Device costs a LOT more to make.
If you do not want to pay then simply ask your Cellular Provider for a FREE Phone, they have MANY to chose from and you (think) you pay nothing. The REST of us are willing to pay from £100 to £700 for either a shorter Contract or NO Contract unlocked Phone.
If no one paid anything then no one would make Phones. Why don't you simply open a competing Company and give out Phones for FREE along with FREE Cellular Service -- I GUARANTEE your Company will be Popular and have a LOT of Customers, you want to be 'The Wheel' then do that !

The Xperia Z and the HTC ONE is for people who have great taste. The galaxy s4 is for nerds and geeks who have no taste and wants features only.

For a flagship phone, it is interesting that it comes only with one speaker. Is there any information or further specifications on the type of speaker technology it utilizes? I searched the web but couldn't find any additional information about the speaker technology. I'm okay if it were a dual voice coil speaker.
I currently have the Samsung Note I, and will upgrade to this great device! I'm glad it comes with 64GB of on-board storage -- which is a major plus!!! -- PLUS(!) expansion memory slot up to 64GB!!!! I was leaning towards the LG, but with only 32GB of internal, the GS4 is my choice and a good upgrade from my Note I I got about a year ago.
The other thing that could be improved is its battery. I believe the LG Optimus G Pro comes with over a 3mAh battery!
I never had any complaints for the plastic backing on my Samsung Note I. I would probably like to see these kind of flagship phones with Windows 8, though.

Under "Cons" it says "Mediocre call quality".
I guess that would be a bad thing if you plan on using this Phone to make phone calls.
Doh ! -- Fail !

Has anyone seen pricing for the S4 on Verizon? I've seen $199 on at&t for the 16GB, and verizion usually matches at&t when it comes to pricing on the same smartphone. if this is the case, I'm totally on board with the S4. the Note 2 is my alternate choice, but the size is the only downsize for me. I don't think I can lose with either phone....

I have a niggling suspicion that Samsung's missed the boat this time. The phones will still fly off the shelves but only for the moment.
It feels lazy and safe and that for me suggests that they're forgetting that the original S & SII were actually good looking phones. Infact that slab xperia z....Take a look at the SII again,
It is folly to believe that function is all you need. Anybody can buy Technology. It is nothing without Desire.
In the world ofBlade runner, the S4 is a Government device. This year, I'm packing the HTC

Just bought the Samsung Galaxy S4 an hour ago. Before I could find a case for it, I dropped it out of my lap. It was only two feet to the ground but it caused a crack all the way across the front of the phone. I've dropped many a phones in my day but never had one crack! What a cheaply made piece of crap!
458. pastech (Posts: 3; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
I'm having an issue with the S-View Cover, it does NOT close flat properly, even if I leave my S4 upside down on a flat surface for an hour, as soon as I pick it up, cover lifts about 1cm off the screen, it's FRUSTRATING...

PDD was once known as "Macaw Wasting Disease."Courtesy Terry Trammell, Georgia
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, say they have identified the virus linked to Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD), a fatal disease that causes nervous system disorders in both domesticated and wild birds in the psittacine, or parrot, family. PDD has been found in 50 different parrot species, as well as five other orders of birds, and is considered to be the greatest threat to captive breeding of birds in this family, according to UCSF.
The researchers also developed a diagnostic test for the virus. The virus, which has been named Avian Bornavirus (ABV), is a member of the bornavirus family, whose other members cause encephalitis in horses and livestock.
"This discovery has potentially solved a mystery that has been plaguing the avian veterinary community since the 1970s," said Joseph DeRisi, Ph.D., who led the team with Don Ganem, MD, both professors and Howard Hughes Medical Investigators at UCSF. "These results clearly reveal the existence of an avian reservoir of remarkably diverse bornaviruses that are dramatically different from anything seen in other animals."
Drs. DeRisi and Ganem said that the discovery of the ABV virus could have profound consequences on both domesticated parrot species and in the conservation of endangered species.
It had been theorized that a viral pathogen was the source of the disease, but until now, no one had been able to identify it.

Shubot Center To Develop Parrot PDD Diagnostic Test
Proventricular Dilatation Disease Review 2005
"This provides a very compelling lead in the long-standing search for a viral cause of PDD," Ganem said. "With the development of molecular clones and diagnostic tests for ABV, we can now begin to explore both the epidemiology of the virus and how it is linked to the disease state."
The study, which will be published in Virology Journal, is also co-authored by Amy Kistler, Ph.D., from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Medicine at UCSF; Susan Clubb, DVM, from the Rainforest Clinic for Birds and Exotics in Loxahatchee, Fla.; and Ady Gancz, from The Exotic Clinic, Herzlyia, Israel; among others.

The accident happened around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Resolute Forest Products plant in Catawba.
County emergency management director Cotton Howell says two employees climbed into an old tank outside the main production area to do some maintenance work. Howell says it's possible that some type of chemical leaked into the tank.
One of the workers was removed from the tank and is being treated for injuries. The other person died at the scene. The names of the victims have not been released.
Howell says no evacuation was necessary.
The plant employs about 700 people and makes commercial printing papers and market pulp.

Surety insurance in Brazil has posted remarkable growth rates in recent years. A mix of legal changes with infrastructure investments should keep the wind behind its sails in the near future.
The development of the surety market in Brazil has been
protracted in South America's largest economy, but
it has picked up steam at the past two years, growing at a much
faster rate than the insurance sector as a whole.
Estimates by Brazil's Superintendence of
Private Insurance (Susep) and market players indicate that, in
2013, the surety market breached the mark of BRL1bn in premiums
after an expansion of over 30% in a single year. Premiums had
been stuck at between BRL700m and BRL800m for some years, with
the product remaining little understood in Brazil. However,
this situation now is changing quickly, according to Liliana
Márquez, director of financial risks at Berkley in
"The sector has grown fast and the market and buyers have
recognised the value that the product adds," she said.
For a long time the surety market was constrained by the
restrictions created...

Third day of the lockout, third straight music video. This joint from The Score:
By day 120, we'll have a movie most likely.
-This green team is Salavat Yulayev, the team Malkin and Gonch will be going up against on Thursday.
-Rick Trash is going to Europe. Rangers fans are pissed for some reason. [ NYRB ]
-Probably the most bizarre story of the day. Quebec players are forming some league. [ True Hockey ]
Some of these players include stars Daniel Briere, Claude Giroux, Patrice Bergeron, David Perron, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
The initial idea is to have two teams, one representing Montreal and the other representing Quebec City, to travel throughout Quebec playing at least one game per week. There's talk of all the proceeds going to charity.
Refuse to sign a new CBA on grounds of financial compensation, but play for charity in some Canadian rec league. This has to be Allan Walsh's idea.
-The NHL and NHLPA heads will meet to discuss when they are going to discuss. [ PHT ]

Geert Wilders' right-wing Freedom Party has gained ground in the Netherlands, almost tripling its representation in the Dutch parliament during this week's elections.
The anti-Islamic party has been campaigning for a tax on Muslim head scarves and a ban of the Koran.
Wilders, the party's leader, was recently banned from entering Britain over concerns his presence would provoke unrest among British Muslims.
"The fact that Wilders' Freedom Party gained more than pre-election polls had forecast could be partly explained by voters being reluctant to admit they will vote for a controversial candidate due to social desirability reasons," the Wall Street Journal quoted Alfred Pijpers, a senior political researcher at Clingendael, the Netherlands Institute of International Relations.
Talks are underway to include the party in a new coalition government.

Convention Center Authority to get $25 million from state to develop new bayfront hotel
A plan to build an additional hotel near the Bayfront Convention Center on Erie's west bayfront is getting a multimillion-dollar boost from state government.
The Erie County Convention Center Authority will get $25 million in state funds, distributed over five years, to develop a hotel just west of the convention center, 1 Sassafras Pier.
Gov. Tom Corbett's office announced the release of the first $5 million of the grant late Thursday.
The new hotel site is currently a loading area for the convention center, and is also used for employee parking.
Roger Richards, a Convention Center Authority board member who heads its Strategic Planning Committee, said he learned about the grant award on Thursday.
Richards said the hotel will cost about $55 million, and construction could take place within a few months.
Richards said the authority will likely issue a bond to cover the remaining $29 million in project costs. A 425-space parking garage, with covered walkways to the new hotel and to the convention center, is also planned for the project.
Both Richards and Casey Wells, the Convention Center Authority's executive director, said the new hotel will have less expensive rates than the nearby Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel, which opened in April 2008 on West Dobbins Landing.
Rooms at the Sheraton -- which connects to the convention center via an overhead walkway that is 65 feet above the water -- can cost as much as $250 per night with taxes and fees, according to the hotel's website.
"Our market studies confirm we need an additional hotel adjacent to the Convention Center," Richards said, "with a different price range than the Sheraton."
The new hotel will also complement the authority's plans to redevelop the 12.5-acre former GAF Materials Corp. site, just to the southwest of the convention center.
See Saturday's Erie Times-News and GoErie.com for more coverage.

YOUNGSTOWN - Mary Jane Lewis is proud to be Welsh.
To prove it, the Boardman woman has remained a member of the St. David's Society of Youngstown all of her life.
"It's wonderful thing. My mother and father were Welshmen and so were my grandparents. It's a wonderful legacy, and I'm proud to be part of it."
Lewis was among about 50 people who gathered Saturday for the society's 123rd annual St. David's Day Banquet in honor of the Patron Saint of Wales. The event was held at the Saxon Club Pavilion in Youngstown.
Dressed in traditional Welsh attire, Lewis offered a toast to Wales.
The society was established in 1860. John Tamplin, president, explained the organization gives Welsh people of the Mahoning Valley the opportunity to gather to preserve and promote their Welsh heritage. It also allows them to carry on the traditions of their heritage.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to get involved and be part of an organization that celebrates our Welsh heritage," explained Tamplin of Hermitage, Pa.
Each year, on the Saturday closest to March 1, the society hosts the St. David's Day Banquet. The society also hosts a variety of other events each year including a Welsh picnic each summer in Niles when members join with the Niles Gymanfa Ganu Association.
Saturday's program also included a welcome by Tamplin; blessing by Robert Ellway; toast to St. David by John David; toast to the United States by Sarah Davis; and selections by vocalist Jenifer Jones Mosher and accompanist Sally Sampson.

Let me start off with a fair warning to you readers: if you're a Red Sox fan, this probably isn't the article for you. It's just a bit biased towards the Yankees and it might just put you in a bad mood. So just move on.
It's no secret that the Yankees and Red Sox engage in some exhausting affairs, with the average game running around four hours. Fortunately for us fans, these marathons provide the best baseball and most intriguing moments of each season. And with the final meeting of the regular season occurring this weekend, there's no better time to look back on some of the best games of the recent past.
This slideshow takes a look at what I believe to be the 10 most exciting victories of the past decade for the New York Yankees (including 2000.) Some were walk-off wins and some provided entry for the Yanks into the playoffs, but all proved to be extremely exciting contests.
Let's get to it.

What's better than one Bugatti? Two Bugattis. And Floyd Mayweather's garage is where you can find them. We knew he had the white Veyron but the other one is news to us. You know you have too many cars when you start seeing double Bugatti's. The ECU Tuning Group shared the photo when they were at Mayweather's house working on the cars last week.

- Full Description
The approach used on a given spend item should largely depend on the balance between supply power and demand power. That is the logic behind the bestselling Purchasing Chessboard®, used by hundreds of corporations worldwide to reduce costs and increase value with suppliers. The 64 squares in the Purchasing Chessboard provide a rich reservoir of methods that can be applied either individually or combined. And because many of these methods are not customarily used by procurement, the Purchasing Chessboard is also the perfect tool for helping buyers to think and act outside the box and find new solutions. A well-proven concept that works across all industries and all categories in any given situation, it is little wonder that business leaders and procurement professionals alike are excited by, and enjoy strategizing around, the Purchasing Chessboard. This second edition of The Purchasing Chessboard addresses the new realities of a highly volatile economic environment and describes the many—sometimes surprising—ways in which the Purchasing Chessboard is being used in today's business world. Yet despite all of the great achievements of procurement executives and their teams, they do not always receive the recognition they deserve. In response, the authors have developed and outlined within the book an unequivocal approach to measure procurement's impact on a company's performance—Return on Supply Management Assets (ROSMA®).
