Dear Editor,
Professor Karen Holbrook, Ph. D. is the newly appointed president of Ohio State University. She is currently provost at the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia.
Dr. John R. Seffrin, Ed.D. is Chief Executive Officer of the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Professor Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. is a distinguished professor (now emeritus) at the University of Illinois, Chicago, has authored or co-authored about a dozen books and about 300 scientific articles.
In the 1998 book (1) and a 1999 article in the International Journal of Health Services (2), Dr. Epstein made a number of criticisms of the ACS over approximately the past 30 years.
Dr. Seffrin was asked, very politely, about these criticisms at a public lecture he presented at the University of Georgia, Athens April 11, 2001. He was unable or unwilling to answer a single one of the criticisms. The local daily newspaper in Athens failed to report this fact although they had a reporter present at the lecture.
An assistant of Dr. Seffrin offered to send information but none was ever forthcoming. Furthermore, the local newspaper in Athens refused to publish an article submitted by Professor Epstein rebutting most of what Dr. Seffrin said about cancer in the lecture.
All this was documented in a letter to Dr. Holbrook dated June 12, 2001, in which she was asked to invite Professor Epstein to the University of Georgia to present a lecture of his own on the subject of cancer. She refused and did not answer the letter. Most of this is documented in a letter by the author, published in Flagpole Magazine, Athens, Georgia, May 22, 2002 (3). She also has not replied to this article either.
A true university is a place where all opinions are discussed and presented. Regardless of whether one believes the American Cancer Society, Professor Epstein, M.D., or neither of them, all views must and deserve to be presented to an often unwitting and gullible public, especially students.
Only after hearing all sides is one likely to come to an intelligent conclusion. A so-called university is not a place for one sided propaganda, whatever the hegemony of that side, or regardless of the amounts of grant money provided to various universities by the American Cancer Society.
The new president of Ohio State University failed in her most fundamental duty as a professor and administrator at the University of Georgia, Athens. She violated the most fundamental tenet of a so-called university.
She failed to allow vital "contrary" points of view, on the subject of cancer, of vital public concern, where about one person dies every minute in the United States, to be presented to the university community and public she purports to serve.
So much for "free and open" inquiry at a university, so-called academic freedom, and so-called freedom of the press. Has so-called "higher education" degenerated to the point that administrators are now university censors?
The obvious question is: Would the trustees at Ohio State have made the same choice had this information not been withheld from them before they made their decision?

Public universities in the US are flaming hotbeds of Political Correctness and degenerate diversity politics.
Censoring certain speech and writing is a a very common activity of PC mavens.
In fact, a person cannot get hired into a public university today unless they pay allegience to PC ideology.
Karen Holbrook is female diversity, and is very likely to be ideologically politically correct.
Holbrook was hired at OSU most likely because she is PC to her core.

Thank you Pappy for your intelligent comment. The local newspaper in Athens, Georgia, The Athens Banner Herald, sought to fool the gullible and duped public about the American Cancer Society for likely the exact politically correct reasons you mention because they do not want to offend duped readers. This newspaper once held me to a strict 500 word limit for an article against the American Cancer Society, while over a period of months, they published about 11,000 words and 3 picture pages promoting this sordid organization.
Furthermore, I once offered the editors of this newspaper this challenge: If they could prove every statement about the American Cancer Society by Samuel S. Epstein, MD in the 1999 article in the International Journal of Health Services wrong, I would donate $10,000 to the ACS. The editors quietly declined the offer without notifying their readers of my offer or their rejection of it. Furthermore all they had to do if they lost the bet was to admit it in the newspaper and provide copies of the 1999 article to the public. They are not engaged in true journalism and truth and enlightenment, but lies and propaganda to fool a gullible and unwitting public and Karen Holbrook a so called "professor" is aiding and abetting all this misinformation to the public. This is shameful.

If anyone desires to read the 1999 article documenting the corruption of the American Cancer Society, it is easily available on Dr. Epstein's website here

Time to grow up, Pappy, and quit thinking you can insult people based on your prejudices.
#6 Mar 12, 2014
Every public university in the US has a PC diversity curricula.
Here is a small sample:
Just because you deny the existence of these college PC curriculum doesn't mean they don't exist.
Also, PC speech codes on college campuses are legendary.
Facts are not prejudice.
Grow-up meathead.

Push daisies, fathead.
#9 Mar 12, 2014
Facts and reality are not your expertise, for sure.
The correct saying is "push up daisies, not "push daisies".
Hippies also push daisies into gun barrels and other orifaces, because they are smart just like you.
Dummies like you that claim demonstrable facts are bigoted prejudice are plain stupid.

Re: Pappy - Imperious. Does not handle criticism well. Quickly resorts to name calling. Not interested in opposing points of view. Self-righteous and narrow minded. A closet multiphobe.

Quote from above 1999 article International Journal Health Services on
The ACS has close connections to the mammography industry. Five radiologists have served as ACS presidents, and in its every move, the ACS reflects the interests of the major manufacturers of mammogram machines and films, including Siemens, DuPont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Piker. In fact, if every woman were to follow ACS and NCI mammography guidelines, the annual revenue to health care facilities would be a staggering $5 billion, including at least $2.5 billion for premenopausal women. Promotions of the ACS continue to
lure women of all ages into mammography centers, leading them to believe that mammography is their best hope against breast cancer. A leading Massachusetts newspaper featured a photograph of two women in their twenties in an ACS advertisement that promised early detection results in a cure "nearly 100 percent of the time." An ACS communications director, questioned by journalist Kate Dempsey, responded in an article published by the Massachusetts Women's
Community's journal Cancer: "The ad isn't based on a study. When you make an advertisement, you just say what you can to get women in the door. You exaggerate a point.... Mammography today is a lucrative [and] highly competitive business."
In addition, the mammography industry conducts research for the ACS and its grantees, serves on advisory boards, and donates considerable funds. DuPont also is a substantial backer of the ACS Breast Health Awareness Program; sponsors television shows and other media productions touting mammography; produces advertising, promotional, and information literature for hospitals, clinics, medical organizations, and doctors; produces educational films; and, of course, lobbies Congress for legislation promoting availability of mammography services. In virtually all of its important actions, the ACS has been strongly linked with the mammography industry, ignoring the development of viable alternatives to mammography.
The ACS exposes premenopausal women to radiation hazards from mammography with little or no evidence of benefits. The ACS also fails to tell them that their breasts will change so much over time that the "baseline" images have little or no future relevance. This is truly an American Cancer Society crusade. But against whom, or rather, for whom? "
Also, since mammograph involves putting high energy radiation into breast tissue, this itself can cause cancer, but it is difficult if not impossible to prove. Any woman will tell you they press hard on breasts during a mammography procedure. An article in 1928 warned against pressing hard on breasts as this could cause cancer cells to move around.
Mammography is a multi billion dollar business. This is why the American Cancer Society supports it. It is all about money.
#12 Mar 12, 2014
The 1999 article in IJHS is full of similary quotes as above, documenting unethical, improper and possibly illegal activity of the American Cancer Society blantantly contrary to the public health and public interest, yet when I requested Karen Holbrook and UGA President Adams to provide a copy of the above article to everyone
participating in the Relay for Life sponsored by the ACS in Athens, in order to inform them of the sordid activities of this organization they were aiding and supporting, neither of them would require that a copy of this article be provided as a condition for participating in this on public UGA property called a "university". This failure of them is a shameful disgrace and patent violation of their fundamental duties as officers of an institution of so called "higher education" whose stated motto is "to teach, to serve, to look into the nature of things." In other words both Karen Holbrook and Mike Adams were deliberately and knowingly seeking to deceive unwitting members of the public of the sordid unethical, improper and possibly illegal activities of the corrupt American Cancer Society which was permitted to fleece money from these innocent vicims. Shouldn't Karen Holbook be sitting in a jail cell for aiding and abetting fraud of the American Public by the ACS?
But instead she was made president of Ohio State University? I think this is a public obscenity don't you? Karen Holbrook must not possess a conscience. Neither does Mike Adams. Shameful is far too polite a word to describe this total degeneration of so called higher education in the United States of America.
#13 Mar 12, 2014
You also a poor memory.
It was you that first claimed my comments were "prejudiced" (same as irrational), "insulting", and then ordered me to "grow up". I wasn't the first to resort to name calling and condescension, little lady.
To top yourself you continue to deny the facts I presented, and hurl another PC insult, multiphobe. Your word games and entitlement-princess attitude are the same noxious PC claptrap that exudes from diversity studies in public universities.
You haven't presented an opposing point of view because you appear to have no original thoughts to offer. PC buzzwords you offer are not a sign of intelligence.
You badly need to look in the mirror when you claim others are self-righteousness and narrow minded and bigoted.
#14 Mar 13, 2014
In fact, it is likely that the real reason Karen Holbrook refused to give everyone participating in the Relay for Life sponsored by the American Cancer Society is due to political correctness since she did not want to offend those duped participants who blindly and foolishly believe the lies of the American Cancer Society and she did not want to offend the ACS either lest they lose money from them. In other words, rather than advocating the truth and warning unwitting dupes that they and their health could be harmed by the corrupt American Cancer Society, Karen Holbrook allows them to be continually fooled and fleeced because Karen Holbrook does not want to offend them or possibly lose funding money from the corrupt ACS for the corrupt University of Georgia. In other words, the University of Georgia and likely Ohio State as well, are little more than houses of ill repute doing and lying to the public in patent violation of all the ethical rules. Money runs the show. These cesspools of so called higher education might as well have brothels right on campus because this is the theme of all this despicable horror in the academy.

Check out these Politically Correct Hollywood bimbos advocating speech code censorship...
What do Beyoncé, Condoleezza Rice & Jane Lynch have in common? They've committed to ban the word bossy. Watch this Lifetime PSA to hear why.#banbossy / http://banbossy.com

more yapping from people afraid to listen to other points of view and yet pappy watches lifetime. not a condemnation, just an observation.
#17 Mar 13, 2014
More of the same campus PC speech code censorship promoted by diversity control freaks...
"Todays conventional wisdom seems to be that university speech codes banning offensive expression on campus are a distant relic of the heyday of political correctness in the 1980s and 90s. But in truth, speech codesuniversity policies prohibiting expression protected by the First Amendment in society at largeare nearly as popular as ever.
This week, my organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), released its annual study of campus speech codes at more than 400 of Americas largest and most prestigious colleges and universities. We found that an appalling 62 percent of institutions surveyed maintain policies that restrict a substantial amount of speech protected under the First Amendmentwhat we call red light speech codes. Such schools include Harvard, Columbia, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro."
#18 Mar 13, 2014
You have my permission to speak, little yapping control freak lady.
I don't watch Lifetime network, or any TV shows for that matter, although I'm sure Lifetime is just another victim cult exhibition and diversity group grope.
#19 Mar 14, 2014
Well, that is how the racket called conventional medicine largely works.
Take a look at the recent newly ignited mammogram debate. A good study found no benefits, but harm, from the test. The mammogram zealots attacked it with phoney accusations. Then, just about a week later another study found mammography does not reduce the incidence of advanced cancers (by the way, there exists a heap of solid data against the procedure - see The Mammogram Myth by Rolf Hefti ).
But... neither the "caring" medical industry nor the mass media hardly mentioned the critical study.
That's how it works... the mainstream medical establishment, which includes the American Cancer Society, the pink ribbon groups, their allied mass media, etc, ignores what's not amicable to their dogma and threatens their huge profits. They want you to believe their mode of operation is good science or healthcare...

Thank you Ulbort for your intelligent comment
#25 Mar 17, 2014
sure, when explaining what it fits, that those things it fits are not just the things that gave
you the idea for the theory; but that the finished theory makes something else come out right, in
In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of
your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or
another .... "
Dr. Ingelfinger, have you ever observed a billboard sign promoting mammograms, say, by the
American Cancer Society? Have you ever observed an advertisement, right next to such an
advertisement, opposed to mammograms? For example, advertising the risks and possible harm
from breast compression, which have been known since about 1928, or possible harm from
widely varying radiation doses of varying machines where the radiation dose is routinely not
measured or monitored, or the possibility of actually initiating the cancer process itself from a
mammogram? Suppose you, as a responsible medical doctor felt strongly about the need to
present a gullible public with "both" sides of this vital public health issue to women, and indeed,
some men as well who also contract breast cancer, went to the billboard company and sought to
pay for such a billboard advertisement at your personal expense, to be placed exactly next to that
of the American Cancer Society. What do you think would be the result? Would they accept
your advertisement? They likely would not, and you would very likely find that the only way
your advertisement could be placed on any billboard with this company would be if you
purchased the entire billboard company, and if you did, the advertisement by the American
Cancer Society would summarily be cancelled thereby preventing it from being placed next to
your advertisement, had they not already had such a stipulation in their contract anyway.
Does not this example illustrate why my letter to the editor about patent failures in scientific,
academic and intellectual integrity at the University of Georgia by a former provost, now a
president at Ohio State University, has not and will not be published in your journal? It has
nothing to do with reason or questions of verification of any statement in my letter does it? The
reasons for failing to publish my letter go beyond reason to the very criticisms of the American
Cancer Society itself by Professor Epstein; namely, to propaganda itself, do they not? The editors
of The New England Journal of Medicine certainly do not want to be a party to publicly
criticizing a new president of a large state university, let alone criticizing the American Cancer
Society Itself. So they smugly and deafeningly hide behind the shroud of silence, just like one
failing to render aid to someone injured in an accident or robbery or rape.
Therefore, The New England Journal of Medicine becomes an accomplice, as it were, a coconspirator,
a co-actor,... etc., an accessory, to the "crimes" of violations of scientific, academic
and intellectual integrity, committed by a former provost with an "advanced" degree in a
medically related field, such crimes foisted on a gullible and unwitting university student
community and public at large, for its patent and cowardly failure to warn and notify members of
the "profession" it represents, of this sordid and unconscionable behavior, whether by man or
Frankly, Dr. Ingelfinger, I could care less whether you publish my letter or not. My interest is
solely in informing the public. I thought I was fulfilling a professional obligation to warn others of untoward activities by high officials. I have no, zero, vested interest in any of this. I have
received absolutely no payment for producing this letter or the research which led to it. This all
involved much time and work on my part, and ridicule by many. My letter to Dr. Holbrook
referred to in the letter was about 40 pages, which was obviously also

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/4/2014 (1164 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
More than 240 hot meals and 160 sandwiches were handed out during The Father's Pantry's Easter Meal in the Park on Good Friday.
The event, which is normally held at Princess Park, was pushed inside the Youth for Christ building on Rosser Avenue due to unpredictable weather.
Organizers say many of those who took advantage of the goodwill were primarily children, teens and seniors — they say one child was around two years old.
The meal was provided at no charge to people in Brandon with minimal income and the event was in conjunction with the Loaves and Fishes Program which is held every Saturday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., throughout the year and provides groceries and fresh produces to families on the weekend when the soup kitchen is closed.
The Father's Pantry Inc. is a Christian-based organization of volunteers with no paid staff that relies on donations and sponsorships from companies, local businesses, churches and individuals.
Any extra food from the event was shared with Samaritan House, Helping Hands, Loaves and Fishes Program, the Friendship Centre, Bethel Christian Assembly and other organizations.

It's hard to be original with this report as everything was as advertised and excellent. We have been visiting York for more years than we care to remember and this apartment was our best yet. It could not be more conveniently located and the secure car parking beneath the apartment block is extremely useful in a city which is short on parking places. What also surprised us was how spacious the apartment was particularly for a city centre property. It was also remarkably quiet.
Our apartment is just a 10 minute walk from York Railway Station and just around the corner from a bus stop. There are plenty of nearby shops, restaurants & cafe's and of course the beautiful river Ouse and Skeldergate bridge. We love York and so have created our very own tourist brochure to provide you with as much helpful information about the surrounding area as possible. It will be waiting for you in the apartment.

Complete Women's Lacrosse Weekly Release in pdf format
Photos courtesy of Columbia Sports Information/Media Relations and Dartmouth Athletics Communications
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The second week of the Ivy women's lacrosse season was also the first week of League play, as six teams opened their conference slate.
No. 15 Dartmouth defeated Yale, 9-8, Cornell took down Harvard, 12-6 and Brown outscored Columbia, 14-10. Seventh-ranked Penn and No. 8 Princeton had their hands full with top-10 matchups, as the Quakers fell to No. 2 North Carolina, 15-6, and the Tigers dropped a pair of hard-fought games, first to Rutgers, 11-10 in double-overtime, and then to No. 5 Duke, 12-9.
In other non-conference action, Columbia picked up a 14-5 win over Mount St. Mary's and Brown defeated Manhattan, 9-2.
Columbia junior Kacie Johnson (Wilton, Conn.) totaled six goals, eight assists and 14 points in two games and was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. Johnson finished one-point shy of her career-high with a game-high eight points in the Lions' 14-5 win over Mount St. Mary's, posting two goals and a personal-best six assists. She then tallied a game-high six points on four goals and two assists in a losing effort to Brown.
For the week, Johnson also recorded four groundballs, four caused turnovers and two draw controls. She earned the second Offensive Player of the Week award of her career, as she received the award on April 11, 2011.
Johnson's Weekly Stats
2 GP, 6G, 8A, 14 Pts., 4GB, 2DC, 4CT, .429 shooting%
Dartmouth held off Yale to win its Ivy League opener, 9-8. Sophomore goalie Kristen Giovanniello (Old Brookville, N.Y.) was instrumental in her team's victory, finishing with seven saves and four groundballs. Her seven saves were a season-best and the most since she tallied 11 in Dartmouth's 9-8 win over then-No. 1 Maryland on May 1, 2011.
On Saturday, with the game knotted at eight, Giovanniello held the Bulldogs scoreless for the final 12 minutes to give the Big Green a chance to record the gamewinner, which senior Sarah Plumb did with 2:12 remaining. Giovanniello did the rest to improve to 2-0 on the year.

At Your Appointment
Heart Failure Appointment Guide
What is a pacemaker implant?
A pacemaker implant is the surgical placement of a device called an artificial pacemaker. It is a treatment for arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats). Arrhythmias happen when your heart's electrical signal causes it to pump too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. A pacemaker implant uses electrical pulses to help your heart return to a normal heartbeat.
Your heart is basically a pump made up of muscle tissue. It has four chambers, two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). Like all pumps, your heart requires a source of energy in order to function. Your heart's pumping energy comes from a built-in electrical conduction system.
In order for you to have a normal heartbeat, your heart's four chambers must work in harmony with one another. A heartbeat is produced when an electrical signal travels through these chambers. Any malfunction in this signal can make your heart beat too quickly, too slowly, or at an uneven rate. This causes an arrhythmia.
A pacemaker implant has risks and potential complications. It is only one method used to treat arrhythmias. Discuss all of your treatment options with your doctor to understand which options are right for you.
Types of pacemaker implants
A pacemaker has two main parts. The first part is the wires with electrodes that connect to your heart. These wires continually monitor your heart rhythm. They send the information to the second part of a pacemaker, the pulse generator. The pulse generator is a small battery-operated computer. It recognizes abnormal heart rhythms and responds by sending electrical pulses back to your heart to correct the rhythm.
The types of pacemaker implants include:
A biventricular pacemaker has three wires that connect to the right upper chamber (right atrium), the right lower chamber (right ventricle), and the left lower chamber (left ventricle). It coordinates signals between the right atrium and both ventricles. This type of pacemaker is also called a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device.
A dual chamber pacemaker has two wires that connect to an upper chamber and a lower chamber of your heart. It corrects abnormal electrical signals between the two chambers.
An external pacemaker stays on the outside of your body to adjust your heart rate and rhythm. It is for temporary or emergency use, such as immediately after a heart attack.
A single chamber pacemaker has one wire that connects to either an upper chamber or a lower chamber. It corrects abnormal electrical signals within a chamber.
Types of pacemaker programming
Your doctor can program your pacemaker implant computer from outside your body.
The types of pacemaker programming include:
Demand programming monitors your heart rhythm and only sends pulses when it detects an abnormal heart rate or your heart misses a beat.
Rate-responsive programming also monitors your breathing, body temperature, and other factors. It uses this information to determine your activity level. It then adjusts itself either up or down to match your activity level.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a mod for mobile safari that let's you view the web in fullscreen.
I've tried other browsers such as atomic from the app store but safari tops them all and I find my self naturally more drawn to using safari.
The closest I got to replacing it was by using zapbrowser (prebrowser) but although it supports tabs it can't let you hold a link to open it in a tab.
There are other extensions for safari in cydia like the download manager so surely implemting a fullscreen toggle can't be that hard?
All that needs to be done is hide the status bar and the navigation bar at the bottom, is there a plist that controls this?
I have Matlab coding experience ( similar to C ) so am willing to help out if a toggle does not curretly exist.

Kick Some Shell With The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows' Launch Trailer [Video]
After months of waiting, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans can finally get their hands on the reptilian quartet's newest beat-'em-up video game, Out of the Shadows.
A new launch trailer from Activision and Red Fly Studios offers up a pretty good idea of the fully realized gameplay — Arkham Asylum-style fighting with four player co-op, lots of weapon-based moves, and one really giant, two-headed mouser. Since it's not a direct tie-in to Nickelodeon's current CG series (or IDW's ongoing comic, for that matter), it bears a distinct visual style to boot. Check it out after the jump.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is available today through Steam and Xbox Live, and will be out on the PlayStation Network in September.

Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:LQDT) operates leading online marketplaces for surplus and salvage assets and has been growing revenue at a consistent 20% clip during the past seven years. Earnings growth has been stable over the same period but has been picking up steam over the past two years.
This year, estimates have been revised higher after the second-quarter performance last July 31st and Liquidity is on pace to grow earnings over 600% year-over-year.
How can a company growing as Liquidity, be in such a volatile whirlwind over the past few months? And more importantly, does Liquidity Services have the potential to grow into an eBay, Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) or Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)?
Recent Volatility
All it takes is a quick snapshot of Liquidity's one-month chart to get a sense of this stock's volatility.
Consider a longer-time frame chart such as a three-month period and it gets even uglier.
We know that prior to the past six trading days, Liquidity had three events that sparked a significant sell-off for the stock leading up to the July 31st announcement.
First, William P. Angrick, Chairman and CEO, disclosed plans in mid-June of this year to sell a significant portion of his stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission filings disclosed this on June 15, 2012. Additionally, soon after Mr. Angrick's stock sale disclosure, competition remarks from eBay, as well as additional comments from Liquidity's CFO regarding slower growth emerged into the public.
It was very unfortunate that Mr. Angrick's filing was publicly misinterpreted. If we read closely, the filing stated that the plan could be terminated prior to any action being taken and also that there were minimum sales price thresholds significantly above the June 15th closing price, which was $56.41. Consequently, Mr. Angrick issued another filing terminating the plan to sell the his stock shares on August 3rd.
Concerns over Ebay competing against Liquidity are just that, concerns. While eBay may be able to compete to some extent on the retail wholesale side, Liquidity has established a significant presence and reputation with respect to retail, industrial capital assets, and the public sector.
Comments made by the CFO were basically taken out of context to the extent that long-term growth prospects could potentially be compromised. Mr. Angrick clearly expressed that Liquidity's objective is to focus on maintaining long-term growth prospects, which have historically trended near the 20% level.
Can Liquidity Scale to the Level of eBay or Amazon?
The recent acquisition of GoIndustry DoveBid puts Liquidity in an excellent globally significant strategic growth position. Through the acquisition Liquidity has gained access to customers including Alcoa, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Honeywell, among others. Liquidity's market now reaches North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, with a presence in 25 countries.
Additional acquisitions of the Jacobs Trading Company and TruckCenter.com in 2011 have added extra leverage with respect to access to U.S retail salvaged goods as well as global capital assets. Liquidity now possesses the following professional seller base:
- - 139 of the Fortune 1000
- - 7 of the top 10 U.S. retailers
- - 2 of the top 3 Online retailers
- - 3 of the top 4 warehouse clubs
- - 8 of the largest industrial multinationals
- - U.S. Department of Defense
- - Manufacturers and OEMs
- - 4,700+ state and local government agencies
- - Middle market retailers
- - Service companies
- - Distributors and VARs
Based on this information we know that Amazon.com, Inc. is a customer of Liquidity as Amazon is the number one online retailer.
The North American reverse logistics market estimate for 2015 is just over $63 billion, the global capital assets 2012 market opportunity is $100 billion, and the U.S. public sector 2012 market opportunity is roughly $3 billion. Judging by these numbers, Liquidity has plenty of room to grow in a fragmented offline-dominated market.
Estimates for the end of 2013 put revenue for Liquidity close to $600 million. Analysts have just recently revised 2012 and 2013 earnings up 9% and 7% respectively. Liquidity's market capitalization as of August 6th market close was just over $1.3 billion (closing stock price of $42.28).
As Liquidity continues to improve its operating platform and scale its business to gain wider leverage in the online wholesale market, its long-term growth potential is on track to continue at similar historical levels. Assuming that margins improve to the mid-teens, Liquidity could soon be approaching $1 billion in revenue and $150 million in earnings.
For a company growing at these levels a valuation between $3-$5 billion would not be extreme. That would give Liquidity a stock price in the $100-$150 range.
While no where near the levels of eBay and Amazon in the near term, Liquidity's future seems bright, and over the next decade, who knows where its business model will take the company.
Disclosure: I am long LQDT.

WEATHERFORD, Okla. (11-11-11) — It was a game of runs during Northwestern Oklahoma State University women's basketball game on Friday afternoon as a comeback bid feel short against Southwest Baptist (Mo.), 65-57.
After the Lady Rangers battled back with a 10-1 run to end the first half, cutting the Southwest Baptist lead to 32-27 at the break, the Lady Rangers came out of the locker room cold.
Through the first 10 minutes of the second, Northwestern allowed the opponents to quickly jump back up to an 18-point advantage, 50-32, with 9:20 to go in the contest.
However, just as they have been during the early contests this season, the Lady Rangers never quit fighting. The initial second half run was stopped in its tracks by a Mandy Norman three-point basket.
From that point, the Lady Rangers rattled off a run of their own, outscoring the squad from Missouri 19-to-6. With 1:21 remaining in the contest, Norman snagged a rebound on the defensive end of the court, quickly getting it to senior Autumn Klugh for a three-pointer to cut the lead to five.
Unfortunately for the Lady Rangers, Southwest Baptist was clutch from the free throw line down the stretch, converting 7-of-8 from the line to clinch the victory.
Taylytha Williams and Klugh were the leading scorers in the game for the Lady Rangers, finishing with 16 and 13 points respectively, with nine from Klugh's coming from long range.
Northwestern struggled from the floor, missing several timely layups, making just 21-of-63 shots.
The defense, however, played as well as needed for a potential victory; forcing Southwest Baptist to give away the ball 29 times, including a total of 13 steals. Klugh led Northwestern with four steals, while Macy Gibson and LaParis Newsom each had two.
Up next for the Lady Rangers (2-2) is an exhibition contest on the second day of the Southwestern Oklahoma State Classic against West Texas A&M. Tipoff from the SWOSU campus in Weatherford is set for 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

(PITTSBURGH) June 28, 2011 More than 100 young tennis enthusiasts – including 15 young players from Madrid, Spain – will compete in Citiparks 3rd annual Frick Park Red Clay Junior Open, which kicks off Wednesday, June 29, at the Frick Park Red Clay Tennis Courts on Braddock Avenue in Regent Square.
The 2011 competition, taking place June 29 through July 2, is the only junior tournament held on red clay in western Pennsylvania. This USTA-sanctioned event features singles and doubles competition for boys and girls ages 16 and younger.
"The tennis programs and tournaments that the City offers to young residents are a great way to promote fun physical fitness while teaching Pittsburgh's youth new skills," said Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. "I'm excited to see such enthusiasm for this tournament, and I hope to continue to see registration grow at such an impressive pace."
According to Jose Mieres, coordinator of Citiparks Tennis Programs, more than 100 athletes will compete in 2011 – a significant increase over the 55 participants in 2010 and the 45 participants in the inaugural year of 2009.
"This year's field of athletes will include 15 young players from Madrid, Spain, who visited us last year for a day and are now coming to Pittsburgh this week to play this tournament at Frick Park," Mieres said. "During the summer they are based at a tennis camp in West Virginia."
Last year the Frick Park Red Clay Courts were named one of the 12 GREATEST PLACES TO PLAY ON RED CLAY by Active.com.
Mieres, who is also the co-founder and president of the Frick Park Clay Court Tennis Club, added, "There's truly something special about these courts, and we're encouraging tennis enthusiast of all ages to experience the Frick Park Red Clay Courts this summer."

Is there a better, simpler, more universal pleasure than going to the beach for a few days?
In the past few months, I've been spoilt enough to make five trips to Stinson Beach; a 45-minute hop across the Golden Gate Bridge from where we live in San Francisco.
I've been thinking recently about how from Stinson, California, to Waihi, New Zealand, a beach holiday is essentially the same joys wrapped up in different surroundings, wherever you are on the globe.
So in light of this, the following 10 things are to me the best, more essential elements of staying at the beach; the pleasures of the sun, sand and surf that translate well across borders.
Night-time arrivals
You get to the beach and it's pitch dark, a lot darker than you'll ever find it in the city. The horizon is an inky well of black, and you can't really orient yourself but you can hear the waves and smell the sea-salt. In the morning, you wake to find yourself a stone's throw a way from a whole beach, unveiled to you in its glory by the new day's sun. It's magical.
Casual drinking/sleeping in
There's no schedule to a beach trip, or if there is, there shouldn't be. A few contented sighs to go along with well-made and delicious drinks are an imperative part of unwinding/indulging/celebrating your current good fortunes. The drinks also feed into the practice of the exorbitant sleep-in (but don't overdo it, because the charms of bright, bright sun and the outdoors are lost on the hungover). There're no alarm clocks at the beach. You can wake up anytime. Just allow yourself at least another hour or two of kip on top of your usual load.
Lying around aimlessly in the morning
All members of the household wake up on their own time, pad upstairs and sit about, chatting idly, reading even. At some point coffee is made and someone broaches the idea of making some breakfast, which everybody agrees is a superb idea. You have an itch as though you should maybe be more active. Isn't there somewhere to go? Sights to tick off a list? But then it dawns on you: you're just here to enjoy the setting. You stare out the window and smile.
Awkwardly spending time without a shirt on the beach
The beach is about the last remaining public domain where I will appear in public with my shirt off. I'm no Daniel Craig, but I do enjoy roaming shirtless among the white-skinned, slightly pudgy, plain ordinariness of all the everyday people. These are my kind.
Pretending not to be afraid of sharks and jellyfish while in the sea
Jellyfish are small, gelatinous creatures that appear to have no real brainpower or discernible malice toward the beach dwellers that go stomping in their yard. Most jellyfish are not poisonous. But they still make me tremendously uncomfortable. Knowing that sharks live in the sea, somewhere, even thousands of kilometres away from where I'm taking a dip, is enough to put me on notice. (Stinson Beach gets special mention, though, as a shark hotspot, and an attack happened there in six feet of water.)
The beach provides me with an outlet from which I can laugh at my cowardice toward nature.
The inevitable mid-afternoon ice cream
All beach towns will have at least one convenience store and some sort of greasy spoon restaurant. (Stinson Beach is ritzier than the common beach town. It even has a slightly snooty bookshop! But it is in Marin County, home to San Francisco's elite.)
This provides due cause for a daily pad down the beach to buy yourself an ice cream, and to sit around eating it as slowly as you can possibly muster. You should always try to make a better order than all of your companions, and try to slightly denigrate everybody else's taste in sweet treats.
Casual strolling
There doesn't even need to be a nice bush walk or set trek nearby. One day you might go left out of the driveway, the next day you might go right. You can walk as far as you can get one way down the beach, and then follow that up on your next walk by heading in the other direction.
Bountiful time to read
My everyday reading time is usually spread over trips on the bus, a few stolen minutes over a sandwich at lunch, and 20 minutes if I'm lucky before I fall asleep. I love reading. At the beach I'll read while sitting on the sand, over a beer, when I wake up, in bed, etc. etc.
Inevitable sunburn, followed by a glorious tan
American sun is a little less terrifying than NZ sun. But maybe through the sheer amount of body I have to cover on my large frame, or an ineffective technique in application, or just the ineffectiveness of suntan lotion itself... I will end up burnt. As uncomfortable as this may be, I will beam inside when someone compliments me on my tan.
Finding sand in my bed, shoes, clothes and socks for a week afterwards
Sand is resilient to everything: showers, the repeated swipe of a hand... everything. It will end up everywhere and for a while too, from beach house beds to your shoes you put on again a week after your trip.
As an entrenched city-dwelling mammal, I choose to view it as an earthy reminder of my brush with nature.
But what have I missed?
There must be something.
Writing this made me a little wistful. The Stinson house, which belonged to LP's aunt, has been sold. And winter is descending on San Francisco, which I imagine to be a slow oozing grey haze that is just an ounce thicker than the grey haze of summer.

Having just been on a beach holiday, I can safely say that my favourite thing about them is the lack of things you have to 'do'. In fact, the perfect day involves having only one 'activity' that takes between 1 and 3 hours, around which you base the day. You can then happily say you have 'achieved' something for the day and thus have earned a swim/beer/G&T/nap or five.
This, to me, seems to be the correct pace of life and just highlights how very wrong we've got it with these 40+ hour working weeks.
My brother got married at Stinson Beach. It's a lovely spot that reminded me a lot of Waikanae, albeit with big shark warning signs in the sand dunes.
Off topic and I'm not trying to be negative at all, but... Sand is the one and only thing that puts me off beaches full stop. I'm not overly concerned about sunburn (and the following tan...), but sand + sunburn = no thank you.
I love the idea of beaches though (which is probably more of a romantic ideal, with sunsets and sunrises etc) - and all the lazing about - and everything else you mentioned :)
I grew up around lakes and rivers though, they make me happy.
You missed the waves! I love waves that you can body surf into shore and as they break they'll pick you up and slam you down. Living in London I haven't been in the sea for over a year and that was in Thailand. I've seen the sea in many different countries but the weather hasn't been right yet.
We hold these truths to be self-evident.....
any beach on the Gold Coast is my favorite!.....clean white sand & warmer water (here in southern Ca...not so much) ...Hawaii is a good 2nd

Twitter Adds Location-Sharing Feature To Blog Roll
Twitter Place represents the newest addition to the world of geo-location, following emerging sites such as Foursquare and Gowalla.
Only two years ago, Twitter seemed just silly, destined to be yet another passing fad. Since then, however, Twitter has proven itself to be a powerful channel for information communication, transforming "tweeting" into a mainstream verb for today's digital language. And with its newest addition of Twitter Places, now Twitter users can indicate not only what they think, but also where they think it.
Whereas before users could only alter their settings to indicate geographic coordinates, Twitter Places introduces geo-location technology, which connects location to physical venues. According to the site's blog, Twitter Places allows users to tag Tweets with designated places or create new Places. You can also click a Twitter Place within a Tweet to see recent Tweets from that location.
Twitter Place represents the newest addition to the world of geo-location, following emerging sites such as Foursquare and Gowalla. Working closely with these companies, Twitter integrated updates from these sites into its new feature. In addition to accessing other Tweets at the specific location, clicking on a Twitter Place reveals check-ins generated by Foursquare and Gowalla users as well.
The increased interest in such sites indicates a growing trend in location-sharing technology. Attaching location, as connected to local businesses and physical places, introduces another layer of context with high potential value for advertisers. For a site so uniquely designed to provide up-to-the-minute news, location-sharing technology adds a whole new dimension to the simple 140-character tweet.

Hey guys and gals. I just recently purchased a 2014 WRX Metallic Ice Silver. I love this car. I still have to break in the motor. Having a blast so far. I do want to mod this car like I did my last car but this one will be slow process.
I already have coming to my house the Nameless Axle-back exhaust. Doing tints on Sunday. As for those goes, so far that's all I'm doing. Later down the road I'll be doing Nvidia downpipe or Tomei downpipe and Cobb Intake. I already have a guy who can tune it so no need for the Cobb Accessport.
Maybe in the summer time I'll do some suspension mods.

Straight Talk about Predestination, Part 1
- Dr. Ray Pritchard Author, Speaker, President of Keep Believing Ministries
- 2011 18 May
In the history of the Christian church, few doctrines have been so hotly debated as the doctrine of predestination. Throughout the centuries theologians and laypeople have argued over whether this doctrine could possibly be true:
It has been called the damnable doctrine of predestination.
Others have called it the sweetest truth in all of God's Word.
Whole books have been written to prove that it is not true.
Other books say that if God is God, predestination must be true.
Leaving the rarified air of theological debate, the rest of us face some difficult questions:
If predestination is true, what happens to free will?
Are we just puppets on a string, doing what God ordained in eternity past?
Does God predestine some people to go to heaven?
If so, does he also predestine others to go to hell?
Why bother with evangelism since whoever is going to be saved will be saved eventually?
For that matter, if God predestines some people to hell, how can they be guilty of sin since they are only doing what God predestined them to do?
Admittedly, these are difficult questions. I don't expect to answer all them in the course of just one message. However, I do want to assert one fact at the very beginning: The Bible does teach predestination. It's a biblical word, used several times in the New Testament. No one can get around that fact.
Romans 8:29 says that those God foreknew, he "also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son."
Ephesians 1:5 says that God "predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ."Let me begin with a simple definition.
Ephesians 1:11 adds that "in him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will."
Since predestination is a biblical concept, we must face this doctrine squarely whether we like it or not. It's in the Bible, therefore we must first seek to understand it and then to ask what difference it makes.
Let me begin with a simple definition. Predestination means that God freely chooses some people to be the special objects of his grace and thus to receive eternal salvation. But I think we can make it even simpler than that: The word predestination is composed to two parts: "Pre" meaning "before" and "destination" meaning "point of final arrival." To predestine something is to determine beforehand where it will end up. If I take a package to the post office, I don't tell the people, "Send this wherever you like." They wouldn't know what to do with it. I write on the front, "San Francisco." I have predestined my package to travel from Tupelo to San Francisco. By writing the address, I have predetermined its final arrival point and I have thereby excluded all other possible destinations.
Seen in that light, we can say that predestination means that God chooses those will be saved and determines in advance that their final destination will be heaven.
Predestination and Freewill
Now as soon I write those words someone is sure to ask about predestination and freewill. Like most Christians, I have wrestled greatly with this issue over the years. There is no single statement that can fully bring together the different strands regarding God's sovereignty and human responsibility. But let me give you something I jotted down a few years ago:
God is in charge of
what happens
when it happens
how it happens
why it happens
And even what happens after it happens
This is true of
all events
in every place
from the beginning of time.
He does this for
our good
and his glory.
He is not the author of sin, yet evil serves his purposes.
He does not violate our free will, yet free will serves his purposes.
We're not supposed to understand all this.
We're simply supposed to believe it.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding! (Actually this statement—brief though it is—does summarize the Christian position on divine sovereignty and human responsibility as it has been developed over the centuries.)
How, then, should we approach a passage such as Romans 9:18-29 with its heavy emphasis on God's sovereignty in our salvation? In his commentary on Romans, John Stott offers this quote from Charles Simeon, the great British preacher from the early 1800s. Simeon lived at a time when the Calvinist-Arminian controversy was particularly bitter, and he warned his congregation of the dangers of forsaking Scripture in favor of a theological system:
When I come to a text which speaks of election, I delight myself in the doctrine of election. When the apostles exhort me to repentance and obedience, and indicate my freedom of choice and action, I give myself up to that side of the question (Stott, p. 278).
It is possible that some people may simply not like what Paul says in Romans 9. If so, there isn't much I can do about it. You'll have to take it up with the great apostle himself. As I thought about it, I recalled a scene from the movie "Analyze This," where Billy Crystal plays a psychiatrist who against his better judgment takes on a Mafia crime boss (Robert De Niro) who can't control his emotions and starts crying at odd moments. There is a scene when De Niro's top henchman (a character named Jelly) comes to fetch Billy Crystal at a very inconvenient moment because the boss is having another breakdown. When Billy Crystal says, "What is this? You think you can call me any time day or night?" Jelly replies, "You're part of the family now. When the boss needs you, you come." Billy Crystal starts to protest but Jelly cuts him off with, "It is what it is." That simple truth applies perfectly to our text.
It really doesn't matter if we like it or not. It is what it is.
Having said all that, we are still left with many questions. Does the Bible really teach predestination? Does it destroy free will? Does it turn us into robots or puppets on a string? How can we reconcile God's sovereignty with the dignity of human choice?
There are at least three answers to these questions, which we'll get to next week.

Hey guys,
today I created a Google+ page. I would like to use my ThemeForest profile url instead of my website url and it would be nice to have the possibility to verify it.
I am so happy see more of our authors on G+. Just quickly wanted to let you know that at this stage we are not planning to adding author G+ brand pages as verified pages to the Marketplace.
One of the main reason for that is the fact that Google has not clearly specified how it plans to use the rel publisher tag yet. They don't have any clear documentation around it ( the page which used to have some info on it is no longer available ). From what I recall the rel publisher association helps a business create a shared identity by linking the business' website to the business' Google+ Page and from the initial plan it looked like they seem to only talk about it as a one-to-one relationship.
You can still take ownership of your item via the author tag as specified here : http://notes.envato.com/authors/take-ownership-of-your-marketplace-items-via-g-authorship/. I hope this help
Thats my Google! Move info from Page A to Page B and make sure it's hard to find the new page.
New documentation: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1408986
thanks @Societic
but that info is on rel author tag , the rel publisher is a different tag to associate the content with the publisher
SaijoGeorge saidMy fault. Here is the correct URL: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1713826?hl=en

Study finds alcohol abuse a problem in UK forces
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - British troops in Afghanistan or Iraq are far more likely to become alcohol abusers back home than fellow troops, but levels of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are stable, psychiatrists said on Thursday.
A large study by doctors from King's College London found that rates of PTSD among British armed forces were stable at around 4 percent, but there were higher rates of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression, and of alcohol misuse.
"Our view is that alcohol misuse is actually a greater problem for the armed forces than PTSD," said Simon Wessely of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's, who led the study.
The researchers noted that studies in the United States had found high levels PTSD among veterans returning from active service, and said those findings had led some to predict Britain too would suffer a "tidal wave" of mental health problems.
PTSD can stem from wartime trauma such as being wounded or seeing others hurt or killed. An estimated 180,000 troops have served in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.
The British study, published in the Lancet medical journal, used data from almost 10,000 UK troops. It was funded by the Ministry of Defense, but the researchers stressed that ministers had no other involvement in the work.
Around 4 percent suffered PTSD, 20 percent had symptoms of common mental disorders which would not normally need medical attention, and 13 percent were misusing alcohol, it found.
But troops who had been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan were 22 percent more likely to abuse alcohol than those who had not. Continued...

The rose flavor is palpable in this teas flavor structure. It gets stronger the longer you steep it, tastes great with a teaspoon of Agave. Will buy it again.
This is a subtle tea. Not for ones who like a lot of flavor.
Such a nice, light tea!
This one is good. Very light, not a whole lot of flavor but good to add to the mix. It kind of cleanses the palate!

The Cardinall's Musick are one of our most distinguished vocal ensembles, specialising in music of the Renaissance. This year they have been touring programmes of Byrd's Latin music and there was good reason to expect their performance of the great Mass for Five Voices would be an outstanding one.
But while it certainly contained admirable things, it was not everything one might have hoped. The ensemble fielded eight singers for this all-Byrd concert. That's not quite enough for two to a part in the Mass and the two sopranos and two tenors had to take a line each to themselves, with only the altos and basses doubling.
While the sopranos were able to hold their own, many important features of the tenor lines failed to emerge with sufficient clarity — at least in the back half of the hall.
The general sound-world was faithfully created, with sonority taking precedence over diction, but only a melancholy Sanctus created much of an expressive effect. Especially perfunctory was the Credo, which was taken at an extraordinary lick. Andrew Carwood is an experienced, knowledgeable choral director and doubtless has good scholarly reasons for his tempo choices but much of this section passed in a flash: not until the lines about Christ's crucifixion did anything make an impression.
The sections of the Mass were interpolated with motets for the Propers appropriate for Christmas, while in the second half a sequence of eight motets was introduced from the platform by Carwood in an engaging and informative manner.
If one could accept two boldly contrasted sopranos (one plangent, one mellifluous), voicing and intonation were generally excellent.

Lit San Leandro was conceived by Dr. J. Patrick Kennedy, a San Leandro resident, and president and founder of OSIsoft, one of the City's largest employers. Mayor Stephen Cassidy met with Dr. Kennedy in January 2011 and they began developing the public-private partnership that was necessary for the project.
On October 17, 2011, the San Leandro City Council unanimously approved a license agreement allowing installation of a fiber optic loop, known as "Lit San Leandro," through several areas of the City using existing conduit. Lit San Leandro offers an opportunity to revolutionize San Leandro's infrastructure, positioning the City to be a major player in the high-tech and clean-tech economies. Businesses connecting to the fiber loop enjoy internet speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, roughly 2,000 times the average U.S. connection speed.
On March 2, 2012, Lit San Leandro went live, connecting its first building to the fiber optic network. As of summer 2013, the vast majority of the loop is operational and almost 2 million square feet of building space is connected in San Leandro.
In 2012, San Leandro was awarded a $2.1 million federal grant to expand its brand new public-private fiber network for businesses, which offers data transmission speeds of 10 gigabits per second -- 2,000 times faster than the average U.S. connection.
The money from the U.S. Economic Development Administration will help pay for 7.5 additional miles of new conduit, bringing the Lit San Leandro fiber network to a total of over 18 miles, said Mayor Stephen Cassidy. The conduit expansion will provide service to industrial areas of San Leandro and potentially facilitate connections to Oakland and its port. Over 950 businesses are located within 200 meters of the proposed expansion segments. Expansion segments are shown in red on the system map shown to the right.
A key element of the expansion proposal is a connection to San Leandro's shoreline. Adding fiber optic broadband to the site of a future mixed use development project will enhance the City's ability to attract a premium, high-tech tenant to the office component of the project.
The expansion project was completed early in 2015.
The Lit San Leandro fiber system is connected to the outside world via fiber lines leased by BART's Telecommunications Division. Businesses in San Leandro can now tap into a direct fiber connection to most long haul carriers and telecom suppliers, allowing them to connect to the external world, e.g. data centers, hubs, other offices, at extremely high speeds. The City received approximately ten percent of the fiber capacity for its own use. That capacity will facilitate expansion of the City's internal data communications as well as potential partnerships with other entities that can provide expanded broadband services for the community.
In the March 14, 2012 edition of the Wall Street Journal, Lit San Leandro is discussed and promoted.

Pricing Question
Hi, New here. I have a pricing question. I am in the market for a new ZX3 SE, stick and have been doing internet shopping. Best prices offered so far are about 200 over invoice plus 2500 cash back.
Due to the model year end I feel I can get a better price than this. Especially since the dealerships in my are have plenty of Foci on their lots. Any suggestions on price to pay from previous experience would be great.
I'm getting offers around $11,900 after rebates, I qualify for two more $500 rebates that will lower it even more. This is for a 2007 Zx3 SE w/ sport group, Conv. pack and saftey pack stick shift.
Wow, that is great. Do mind if I ask what MSRP was on it.
The MSRP is $16,710. As of this morning I'm getting it for $11,424 after the $3000 rebates + $500 college grad/student rebate and there is another $500 first time car buyer down payment match that I'm going to let him know I heard about after I negotiate on my trade in.
Find like 20 ford dealerships, copy and paste the same email explaining specifically what you want. Make sure you make it clear that you want dollar amount offers, sometimes they'll just try to get you to come out and "talk." You'll get a good idea of what you should pay, and try to make them compete for your business. I've been doing it about 5-7days and I'm ready to buy. And research any available rebates on your own, sometimes they aren't very forth coming with them.
I appreciate the reply. I just started a couple of days ago and have only just started getting responses. Its good to know what to expect as far as a ballpark figure. I will definitely wait it out for a better deal.
I just got a brand new zx3 SE with the safety pkg, sunroof, 6 disc cd player, and a five speed for $500 below invoice and all applicable rebates. The window sticker was $16,770, invoice was $15,800. With the pricing we got, it was $15,300 before rebates. We got $1k in rebates plus the special financing (2.9% apr). All tolled, it wasn't a bad deal. We were locked into this particular dealer because my dead focus was stuck there and we didn't want to deal with the hassle of getting it towed to another dealer.
We're very happy with it so far. As for the deal, the special financing ended up saving us more money than the rebate would have.

Beacon Lights by Minneapolis cartoonist George Jurard, is a series of loosely inter-locking stories that take place over the course of 200 years.
Throughout our lives, we are perpetually in the act of pursuit. We are always seeking something in the distance— a beacon, a light, that calls us to action. But, each action has an opposite reaction, and as one person finds happiness, another can find despair.
Beacon Lightsexplores the spectrum of the human condition: the horrors we face, life's joys, and the uncertainty that nags at us when the rug's pulled out from under our feet. Throughout all of these things, we persist. Our beacons call to us.

If there is a split second when I can see a weapon or otherwise feel threatened then bang. If not, maybe a kid like this who made a mistake can stick around for a while.
That said, I don't question the homeowners action.
I have a light on my pistol, and my rifle. I also live in a townhome that looks like every other townhome on the street. There are, apparently a lot of teenagers in my neighborhood, because I see them at the bus stop on my way to work, but other than that, I NEVER see them.
The thought that I could shine a light, and identify a teenager from the neighborhood, who I've only ever seen from driving past the bus stop is a stretch. And even if I did identify them, they had better prove that they are not a threat real quickly.
I'm too old, weak, and fat to think that I can wrestle someone to the ground in my own home, half asleep, in my underwear. Thankfully the law here in NC allows me to stop a situation before it gets to that.
