I've been waiting for a thread kind of like this for a while and I decided just to make one.
I'd like this thread to be kind of a low content investment thread. Post predictions, ideas on where you would invest/how you would go about investing in that area, future products that have potential to be revolutionary, investment articles, investment questions, and regulations around the world that will have a great impact on the market.
I'll start it with a question: Obviously most of us are interested in gold. I'd like to know how to get into that market besides going out and buying physical gold. What are my options? What does Peter Schiff do? Mining companies?
I do most my research and pay attention to the tech market.
I've posted in the past that I like facebook stock and i have purchased stock in it (bought and sold several times). Where i was ridiculed for that investment so I'm going to do a little face rubbing now and mention that it has brought me just 40% return on investment in under the 3 months i have owned it (though technically i was probably actually holding the stock for half the time).
Personally I like volatility in a stock because I think its much easier to read the stock and figure out the market's feelings of that stock is. I know most investors dont like that and would rather have a brick and mortar company its just my personal preference.
My favorite company (I'm close to pulling the trigger and buying a few shares) is google.
They took a beating last week because it didnt meet expectations. Though they have spent this past year spending A LOT of money in infrastructure and i think next year some of those products will start paying off. They also have a business model (in terms of PRICING) similar to WalMart. They sell their products for almost no profit with the assumption that they will purchase complimentary goods for that product.
Here is a look at a few of there things that they are coming out with or are already out that i think is really going to impact the markets and the way we live our lives.
Google Glass
Google TV
Self-driving car
Google fiber (your bill wont be any higher than your internet bill now, but 100x faster) - This is a big one.
Chromebook - This might not seem like a big deal, but it shows the vision of the company of gutting prices and redefining our computers
Also the chromebox - which is a desktop version
combined with Android, google+, google wallet, google maps, and they are getting into education you really get a vision of their future. I think the only thing they are lacking is facebook's customers which is one of the reason why i like facebook the stock because google is going to need them since no one is using google+ (yet). They get me excited.
Personally my favorite company right now is Valve. They are completely flat - they show that people can put out quality stuff when there's absolutely no one telling them what to do.
As far as what I'd want to invest in, I'd invest in public rail in a city. Completely privately owned.
I'll bite. I'm interested in natural gas plays at the moment. I believe it is the future of energy, particularly with cars. The problem is, short of actually buying futures contracts, there aren't any good instruments to invest in. The ETFs such as UNG have major contango issues. I'm interested in finding some sort of a start up company that installs or produces home compressed natural gas units. These are units that can take the natural gas your home already has, compresses the natural gas, and fuel your car over night with it while it sits in your garage.
Right now these units cost 4 or 5 K, which cancells out any fuel savings you might get. I haven't researched it heavlily yet, but if you could find a good company (not General Electric) to invest in, I see huge potential.
ive been thinking a lot about 'public' transportation and just how the US would be different if so much government money hadnt gone into building roads and how the private sector would of created something much cheaper and faster then individual cars.
this certainly isnt the answer, but it got me thinking that something like this would of been invented where people had individual rail carts (motorized/electrical not exercise hah) to get where they are going.
Just imagine how much cheaper it would of been to build up this system over roads. We would probably be buying fancy carts for around 5k$ rather than spending 40k on a new car.
also if the government had not subsidized the railroad industry they would of built STRAIGHT tracks to destinations rather than subsidizing them per mile so we had zig zag rails.
Yeah. I've always had a bit of a fascination with public transportation, particularly rails (like metrorails), and I firmly believe that public transporation would be infinately better if done by the private sector. Really, everything is done better by the private sector.
prime - i mentioned investing in natural gas too before. I think its a great industry and we are at the ground level. Though i would like to see something more out of it, perhaps i just need to do a little more research.
I had mentioned following what boone pickens is doing, i think he is the largest owner of natural gas wells. He has been lobbying the government pretty hard core he past year or two on it and the president has been talking about giving natural gas subsidies. So if i do invest in natural gas in the coming years i will find out where boone's money is and invest there! hah.
SM - however public transportion will continue to be a waste if the government is putting down billions annually on roads that go up to people's driveways for free. I dont see rail ever taking off until public funds stop funding roads (which will not happen unless we have an economic collapse). The private sector cannot compete with that.
That's true. A free market that's under the government is never free.

Anyway, I do not understand people's obsession with driving. I guess that they like the feeling of driving because it makes them feel like they are in control of something in their lives. Steer right and the car goes right. Steer left and the car goes left. Tell your kid to eat his veggies... nope, try again.
But what better feeling than knowing that you can control other people than by paying someone to drive you and your family around town? That is, taking a taxi or Uber. <rant style="awesome" />
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Mining companies right now are somewhat of an hazard. None of them mines exclusively gold (which is in high demand, especially in Asia): most of them make most of their money in other ores (whose demand is now slowly but steadily declining). However the time to buy stocks may be near, if you plan on holding upon them long term. Rio Tinto peaked around February, then took a steady nose dive until May, then rallied and then at fell at the year lowest in early September, then rallied again and is now starting drop again. If the present trend continues in a couple weeks their stocks may make a good buy. The trend however is towards instability, as Marc Faber rightly warned last year.
As for gold nothing, and I mean nothing, beats physical bullions, coins and ingots. You can buy gold ETF: some of them are pretty good, like ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares (SGOL) or SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) but always remember these are speculative funds. Seems you are handy at handling these things so they be just what you are looking for.
Personally I don't invest in the high-tech market because, plainly put, I am rubbish at it. I made decent money with pharma, government bonds etc: things I understand. From my read it appears the main risk with established hi-tech companies like Google or Apple is not they may be losing money but that the pace at which they introduce innovations may slow down. Investors expect a compay such as Google to keep churning out new software, services etc at breakneck speed. Even if the company is financially very solid a slowdown in innovation or a slightly underperforming product is enough to see share price plummet. I am not tech-savvy enough to read the signs.
I also have money invested in China. For all their faults I believe they stand a better chance of braving the coming storms than either Europe or the US. I stuck to big, solid (brick and mortar as you said) companies like Petrochina, Tsingtao Brewery or the State-owned Agricultural Bank of China. Lately I also invested (though not as much) in Japan by buying government bonds and obligations: the Japanese were the first to read the signs and are bracing for impact. They stand in better stead than many others.
Stocks in weapons and military contractors should do well for the foreseeable future. Somewhat dated, but an interesting short article:
Smith and Wesson is a stock that has served me well recently. Guns are definitely a pretty good buy.
Kakugo- thanks for the gold info ill check them out.
ya you are right about tech firms about expections. It's the very reason i dont like apple stock. They are hitting a wall and if you compare their products with its competition they are worse. They still have some potential growth left when they come out with a smart tv monitor, but they are behind the game now. They arent innovating in other areas for growth. The main reason why ppl choose apple over competition is the 'social' status of owning there products. That's going to wear off in the next few years the allure of smartphones and iPads wear off and ppl start buying cheaper products as they are starting to do now.
i mention google because they are innovating above expections (obviously this is 100% opinion ). Those products they are coming out with are really ground breaking and they are setting themselves up to be a one stop shop forf your connectivity needs (outside of what facebook controls). Specifically the google fiber Internet that they are starting on in Kansas City. Literally i think google is making a play at the monopoly of land line Internet. They are pricing it as if its a mature competive market and looks like they aren't taking profits on itin the short run. I don't see how any company is going to be able to enter the market besides huge cash holding companies, but why would they when google pricing is too low to profit off it. One thing that struck me was that they are going to give free Internet (at cable Internet speeds not fiber) to any home that pays for the installation of the fiber optic cables to their home (300$). It's crazy.
china- ya im very interested in their market. I don't like how they undervalue their dollar and i don't know why they are doing it or for how long. Petrochina is the only investment that i really pay any attention to. Though i do try and find out more info on their market...however the US doesn't like to advertise their success.
One more note on China. I believe China is now setting up their currency, the Yuan, to someday be backed by gold. They are importing gold like crazy and literally purchasing gold mines in foreign countries. Their officially holdings are kept highly secret, and some day soon they may surprise the world with what they have accumulated.The war they are conducting with the U.S. is a currency war. I believe you can walk into Bank of America with dollars and walk out with Chinese Yuan. It is not hard to find if you look for it.
In terms of buying and selling physical gold and silver. Where and how do you do it?
how close to market prices do you actually getto buy and sell it at? For example if i walked into a good pawn shop how much should i expect to sell an ounce of gold for compared to the market rate.
Where else are easy places to sell
Grant, I bought physical gold a few years ago when it was much cheaper than it is now (about the 800-1000$ range). I bought it from a local coin shop and paid anywhere from $40 to $60 over spot price, depending on the particular coin. American Eagles commanded the highest premium, and Krugerands the lowest. It just depends on supply at the time I guess. The dealer required a cash payment and there is no paperwork to fill out.
Silver coins have a higher premium as a percentage of the investment. A few weeks ago I asked a local pawn shop about Silver Eagles. The spot price was around $34.50 and he was asking around $39, quite a hefty premium. I did not negotiate but may have been able to talk him down a little.
As for selling the stuff, I've never done that. I asked a few years ago what my coin dealer would purchase back for and again he said it depends on supply and demand. At certain times he has a waiting list for people who want the coins. He said if he has an immediate buyer he may offer spot or even slightly above in spot markets. Other times he may give a few dollars below spot.
What I do not understand is if when you do sell the stuff back to a dealer/pawn shop, is do they require you to fill out any tax forms. I just can't figure out how you would pay capital gains on something if there is no record you actually bought the stuff.
And one other lesson I learned, don't try to sell the stuff to jewelry stores, or these cash for gold companies. Since they are not coin dealers who immediately resell the coins, they offer way below spot price. I had a local jeweler a month or so ago over me $200 below spot. He didn't even know what he was talking about. He was more interested in the purity of the coin than the fact it was 1 ounce of gold.
My Buddy:
Smith and Wesson is a stock that has served me well recently. Guns are definitely a pretty good buy.
Guns themselves are an excellent investment. I wouldn't risk stocks in the companies though, since it's probably only a matter of time before they get hit by the same legal scams that tobacco companies got clobbered with.

Stocks are taking a beating today. And Apple took a dive so i picked up a few shares at sub $560.
Comments on the price? apple in general?
my comments:
im likeing ipad mini, the new new ipad, and new imac (which is long needed) for the holiday season.
So im thinking good earnings in january also i have a feeling that the new new ipad release was to make room for their march media day for a big product...an Apple smart TV. then plan on getting out from those two bumps.
Personally, I am going to put money in a number of funds based on China, emerging markets, Russia, hard currencies, metals (especially silver), commodities and perhaps property. Jim Rogers reckons commodities are still undergoing a bull rush. I don't know if his predictions will pan out as long as he hopes, and I am not sure if Peter Schiff is right that gold and silver still have a long way to go up, but they're more reasonable bets than blown up mutual funds I guess. The US still has farther to plummet, so I'll wait till it's dirt cheap. Schiff reckons investing in solid foreign (read: Asian and EM) owned and based firms that pay dividends is a good strategy going forwards, but obviously this partially will depend on the direction the dollar is headed in. Long term, I'd say it's all the way down but with currencies it's all relative to other currencies and a matter of faith in the US' credibility.
I'm an amateur at it still but as I read further I am hoping to be able to make more specific picks, or pay someone to do it for me. Are there any good subscription services etc. that provide good investment info? Someone on here before mentioned Business Investor's Daily, the FT and CXO Advisory. I tend to track stuff from Schiff and Rogers.

I've been waiting for a thread kind of like this for a while and I decided just to make one.
I'd like this thread to be kind of a low content investment thread. Post predictions, ideas on where you would invest/how you would go about investing in that area, future products that have potential to be revolutionary, investment articles, investment questions, and regulations around the world that will have a great impact on the market.
Thanks for creating this thread. Last time, you recommended Facebook. Do you still favor this company?
ya i still like it at 20 and i have bought and sold it on that advice now a few times since i recommended it on this forum it has given me a 40+% ROI.
i currently dont own it because i sold it when the earnings came out and it shot up and ive been waiting for it to come back down.. But its about at my buy price. since it has dipped as low as 18$ i think it can easily go that low again (if you want to wait and maximize) though i will buy at 19 because its to volatile and i dont want to miss out on gains. Zuckerberg can make a silly statement and shoots this stock up 20%.
think blue - bought it monday and im already selling it again after today. add another 15%.
So ive got a question to maximize my returns.
Does anyone know about selling short? are small investors allowed to sell short? how does financing a short sell go? surely they wont give just anyone credit? anyone know?
Hopefully, I'll be able to put my 401k into IRA/401k that focuses on EM/BRIC, gold, etc. I could cash it in (from my old company) and buy gold, but I would take a 25% hit.
Any decent gold standard theorists have an opinion on whether someone should (today or in the relative near future) buy one ounce of gold (at today's market price of 1724.90$ usd) or buy52.81 ounces of silver (silver's market price is at 32.66$ usd). Why or why not?
*This concept of buying silver or gold would be based on the assumption that the USD will crash.
Myknee jerk reaction is obviously to buy the gold. However gold is unreasonably high (in terms of pocket change/walking around money), so one would have to pay to convert it into silver.
**This question is also making the assumption that the people will choose GOLD as money with an undetermined outcome of what role will silver play. Also opinions on the use of copper providing help in the monetary system (Copper market price: 3.45$ usd)
****(I am still looking for the best place of where to buyphysical gold or silver)
I'm curious about what information do you guys use to invest and speculate? I know what Doug Casey stated several times about how the coming years will be a "speculators delight". Namely i shorting Govt bonds.
How ever investing in stocks and speculatio is something I'm not to keen on as of yet. What books and websites do you guys read to understand the real technical sides of these things?
I kind of feel like I'm loosing out on a lot by understanding Austrian economics and anticipating market news and crisis before they actually happen without profiting from it lol.
Aiser, the speculation that goes on in this thread is nothing more than gambling. You may as well walk into a casino and put that money on a roullette wheel. In the very short term, there is nothing you can look at to make an "educated" speculation, because the short term movement in a stock price are completely random.
Austrian econ. may provide us with a longer term picture of what to do with our money, but that is all. Specifically timing the market is impossible. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't. This thread certainly needs a new name, as "Investor's Corner" is the antithesis of what this is.
all investments are gambles. If it was a sure thing then there wouldnt be any profits or gains in it. You are suggesting that you can remove risk out of an investment which is impossible.
Maybe it is because i used to play poker for a living that i understand/prone to invest where there is more volatility and variance.
I cant think of a single great investor who does not understand the idea of investing when there is 'blood on the streets' or 'invest where the money is scared'. Yes it is a risk. It is always a risk.
*and this thread was created to suggest any investments. So if you have any ideas on investment, tools for investing, where you suggest putting savings, or anything other than you might was well visit your local casino it would be appreciated. This thread is to educate.
I didn't say anything about risk. Aiser asked what to read in order to speculate and "anticipate market news." I answered by saying, using different words, that there is nothing. Just like when I asked you a few months ago why you targeted $14 (or whatever it was) for Facebook, you couldn't respond. It was just something you came up, some random number. You admitted as much. My point is, if you want to invest for the long term, understanding AE can serve at best as a guide. But to speculate in the near term is gambling.
14 was what i targeted at the bottom (i think. but i know 14-15 was around my bottom price). and im pretty sure i did respond because a couple people mentioned it and it was purely an opinion/guess/risk. but i argued for a 20$ price and i mentioned that there is still a strong risk that it falls to 15$.
i made a defense on fundamentals for a 7-10 valuation. it was just my opinion that the market wouldnt allow it to go that low and i felt 20$ was the highest probabilityofthe low market price. if you look at the history of the price since i made the arguement you will see that my pricing was virtually perfect (though now im closer to 19$). If anyone had taken my advice (advice that i myself have acted on) and bought and sold on that price you would of received 70% ROI since AUGUST.
To conclude: we are pretty much on the same page on opinions. I agree that there is really nothing without being the actual person making decisions that can anticipate market news. I agree that i virtually picked a random number (though as an investor everyone has to random pick a number to invest at.). I agree AE is more of a guide in your investing choices. I agree short term speculation is a gamble. (in defense of my facebook buying, by no means do i think facebook is a short term investment. i think its a long term and history will prove it. Money is scared on how facebook will make money, i personally cant see how a company cant capitalize on a billion customers half of which use your business daily. and i think connectivity is the wave of the future and facebook is the leader and is the only company whose vision of the future is connectivity)
I'll make just a quick generalization about tech stocks. If you believe that the collapse of the dollar is imminent, and most Austrians that I read do, then you must consider where you want your assets when this collapse occurs. When it does collapse, would you say your investments will be safest in a company that makes iPads and iPhones? How about a social network site? Are the masses going to rush to play Farmville and Tweet? Remember, we are talking about a freaking collapse here!
I want my assets to be in physical precious metals, energy, farmland and farm machinery, ammunition and guns, etc..
If anything, with Obama's re-election it is possible that the corporation tax will go up which will further damage stock earnings. I would say the US is a terrible place to invest long-term right now. Maybe if you're a skilled technical trader short term gains can be realised but that isn't investment so much as trading.
One more note on China. I believe China is now setting up their currency, the Yuan, to someday be backed by gold. They are importing gold like crazy and literally purchasing gold mines in foreign countries. Their officially holdings are kept highly secret, and some day soon they may surprise the world with what they have accumulated.The war they are conducting with the U.S. is a currency war. I believe you can walk into Bank of America with dollars and walk out with Chinese Yuan. It is not hard to find if you look for it.
To follow up on this thought from ZeroHedge:
From Bloomberg:
China needs to add to its gold reserves to ensure national economic and financial safety, promote yuan globalization and as a hedge against foreign- reserve risks, Gao Wei, an official from the Department of International Economic Affairs of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, writes in a commentary in the China Securities Journal today.
While gold prices are currently near record highs, China can build its reserves by buying low and selling high amid the short-term volatility, Gao writes in newspaper
China's gold reserve is "too small", Gao says
And there it is: while many have speculated that China, which has not given an update of its official holdings in nearly 4 years, is quietly building up its gold reserve holdings behind the scenes, there was no reason to worry. The time to worry would be when China was starting to give indications it is prepared to tell the world what its true gold holdings are (by now certainly well over 1000 tonnes). And the above piece from Wei is just that: because in saying very little, the Chinese official with a key political post has just given the first hint that China is preparing to give its official gold far greater focus. And from there, the time until China releases an IMF update on its official reserve holdings will be measured in days if not hours. Because all the gold will have long been accumulated.
And once that happens it will be too late to buy any incremental gold. Or tungsten.

So, now is the time to buy gold, yuans, or both?
certainly is a scary thought of its potential.
and...tungsten? whats up with tungsten?
The tungsten comment is joke at ZeroHedge because there are more and more cases of what are supposed to be gold bars in fact turning up to be tungsten bars that are just coated in gold. Many believe that is in fact what fills Fort Knox.
shackle - its really impossible to say. how long will you be holding onto it because gold prices are certainly able to be manipulated in the short run. I'm feeling that the US gov has plenty of spies in china and will be attempting to undermine whatever the chinese are doing which in the long run ultimately wont matter it, but could effect the price of gold greatly within the next 5-10 years. (and the US could be doing it right now raising the price of gold to force the chinese and anyone else to buy at a higher price. though i havent seen any evidence of it)
yuans are even harder to say because it would depend on what the chinese real intentions are. the chinese can even attempt to make their currency attractive for the foreign buyer by under valuation (which they are almost undoubtly doing) then just ditch the yuan on foreign investor hedging against the losses of their USD debt. While swapping yuans for a new commodity back currency domestically. personally i would stay out of yuans all together.
prime - wow. so no one has a clue where, when or who did this?
I agree that A.E is certainly a kind of guide or template of choices on investing or speculation. But A.E when it focuses on real growth, I don't see how FaceBook would pass a litmus test on investment. Even thought I am inexperienced when dealing with stocks and ect, I remember when Groupon first went public the stock price IMO was over priced and plummeted on day one. And I actually anticipated this on my spare time .FB did go throught a similar episode. If we look at it from A.E then I think we would have to focus on something tangible backing such stock picks and shorts? (Gold, Led, Silver, Chickens, Broccolli, Apples, IPads and so on). While connectivity is great I don't see how FB can be a long-tern investment without something of real monetary value?
IMO at some point FB will go dead much like how MiGente and MySpace pretty much went, but that is my own bias. :)
Grant, this turned up in Manhattan.
As to your theory of the U.S. keeping gold prices high to screw the Chinese, many feel it is in fact the exact opposite. It is more likely the U.S. is suppressing the price of gold. The U.S. owes China a trillion dollars which we could never repay. Perhaps if the boys at J.P Morgan and Goldman can keep the price artificially low, then China can load up and not worry so much about getting screwed out of that trillion.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
24-Year-Old Son with Attention Problems
My 24 year old son has always had difficulty with tasks that do not provide positive reinforcing/stimulating responses. He has great concentration for things that require creativity, detail, and repetition. He enjoys working with his hands. Raising him was extremely challenging because he can be very stubborn/oppositional and would gravitate to activities that he found enjoyable and avoid others. Even though he was good at them he couldn`t make himself focus upon them. He`s very intelligent and has been able to succeed by finding accommodating education opportunities. He`s in a Graduate program now that has a hands-on component but he will have to spend two upcoming quarters in a more traditional grad setting with lots of reading/writing and sitting. He`s very concerned about this phase of the program and so am I. I believe that he has ADD that has gone undiagnosed. Because we took an eclectic approach to his education path and because he`s smart he`s done well but it has not been without a lot of suffering on everyone`s part. He has had clinical depression that I believe may have been partially tied to struggling to fit into a traditional sit-at-a desk high school structure. I also have ADHD as do many of my relatives. It ruined my life and I don`t want my son to experience what I`ve gone through. Thank you.
It is not clear whether you are asking a question or just stating a problem, but your sentiments echo those of many parents I have talked with, both of younger children, adolescents, and young adults. The treatments and accommodations that worked well for children are less appropriate for adolescents and adults. Fortunately, new adult-oriented treatments are being developed, such as CBT and organizational skills training, which adults are more capable of benefiting from than are children.The depression is not all bad if it is truly secondary to the problems. There is some hint in the literature that those with ADHD who are a little depressed do better later than those who have equal severity but are not depressed about it. Mild depression may be a sign of insight and a motivation for change. It's like the bumper sticker "If you are not worried, you just don't understand the situation." Incidentallly, some antidepressants (tricyclics and bupropion) have also proven beneficial for ADHD even though they do not have an FDA-approved indication for ADHD.Three other facts on the plus side for adult ADHD are that:1. There is some evidence that brain maturation is delayed in ADHD, raising the possibility of further improvement with age.2. It is possible to find jobs that suit the proclivity of the individual, more so than finding such a school.3. Habits can be the salvation of someone with attention problems. Once something is habitual, you don't have to pay attention any more. So an adult can start developing good habits one at a time, gradually lightening the attentional burden.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Beau Levesque has impacted games in a variety of ways this season for the Saint Mary's men's basketball team.
On Thursday at Santa Clara, Levesque took his already-impressive repertoire downtown.
The junior from Lafayette set a career high with 24 points, bombing away with a career-best six 3-pointers to lead Saint Mary's (20-4, 9-1 West Coast Conference) to a 84-63 win over the Broncos.
Brad Waldow chipped in with 14 points and a career-high tying three blocks for the Gaels. Mitchell Young added 12 points and nine rebounds, and Matthew Dellavedova had nine assists in Saint Mary's eighth win in a row.
Evan Roquemore led Santa Clara (17-8, 5-5) with 18 points.
The Gaels led the entire way, but Santa Clara kept things within reach long into the second half.
But, for every bucket Saint Mary's managed to find, the Gaels backed it up with the appropriate response -- good defense.
That translated to some striking numbers in areas that really counted. Santa Clara's big three of Roquemore, Kevin Foster and Marc Trasolini combined to shoot 13 for 32. The Broncos shot 40.8 percent as a team.
"We had a couple guys that didn't play great offensively, but they were there for us defensively," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "Our numbers defensively were good."
The Gaels continued to dictate the pace on offense, getting into sets and finding open shooters.
That was often Levesque, who was open all night on the perimeter. Never shooting under duress, the De La Salle graduate turned Thursday's game into a bit of shooting practice.
"A lot of defenses are going to focus a lot of their attention on Delly," Levesque said. "Luckily, they kept leaving me open and I was able to hit shots tonight."
He also took it inside, at one point driving on his old De La Salle teammate John McArthur to score the hoop and draw a foul. He converted the 3-point play from the line, putting Saint Mary's up 60-43 with 12:11 left.
Such a convincing win was made even more impressive when considering that Dellavedova had just four points. His assist total showed the usual though -- that the Australian star can impact a game even without scoring.
Saint Mary's took a 41-34 lead to halftime, thanks in large part to Levesque's laser-lock from 3-point distance.
Coming off the bench, Levesque took just eight minutes of game action to tie his career high in 3-pointers with four. He hit all four he attempted, and went 3 for 4 from the line to help the Gaels take the lead.
While Levesque was operating outside, Waldow was working down low. He tied his own career high with three blocks before the half, and added 10 points and seven rebounds before the break.
"Beau was really good offensively. Brad was good too," Bennett said. "I thought all our guys were good defensively, and then we had enough guys step up offensively that made us pretty good at both ends. Overall, one of our best games of the year."
Santa Clara trailed the entire half, but managed to narrow the gap a bit near the end of the half. A 3-pointer by Raymond Cowels III with 34 seconds left proved the final field goal in the half, sending the Broncos to the locker room with a bit of momentum.
Saint Mary's returns to the court Saturday at 8 p.m. when they invade Jenny Craig Pavilion to take on host San Diego. The game will be televised live on ESPNU, and live audio and statistics will be available on SMCGaels.com.
After returning from San Diego, the Gaels will have a few days to prepare for a Valentine's Day showdown with Gonzaga. That game is set for Thursday at 8 p.m. and is sold out. It will be televised on ESPN2.

Francona sticking with Santana in cleanup spot
SAN FRANCISCO -- Carlos Santana opened this season as the Indians cleanup hitter and manager Terry Francona has no intention of going in a different direction right now.
Santana has been in a prolonged slump to start this season, but Francona is not ready to pull the plug on using him in the lineup's fourth hole just yet. Francona feels that the switch-hitting Santana serves a purpose in the cleanup spot and the manager believes the third baseman will make more of an impact before too long.
"He's expanded the zone more than we've seen," Francona said. "Saying that, he's still walked as much as he's struck out, which is kind of amazing. I just think he's such a good hitter that, when he gets hot, he'll go."
Heading into Friday's game, Santana was batting .137 with one home run, three doubles, three RBIs, 18 walks and 18 strikeouts in 21 games for the Indians. Francona gave Santana a mental day off on Monday, but the third baseman went 1-for-11 in the three games leading into the current road trip.
Francona said he has considered a lineup change, but does not feel it is the right time to make a switch.
"I've thought about doing things like that," Francona said. "I just don't think it's the right thing to do for our team. If he got to a point where he looked like he couldn't handle it, that's different, because you have a responsibility to the team, you have a responsbility to the guys. But when he hits -- and he will -- hitting right smack in the middle helps everybody.
"It breaks up our lefties. You could put [Michael] Brantley anywhere, but you also don't want to have every lefty in the league lined up to face [No. 3 hitter Jason Kipnis] and Brantley in the seventh inning. That's not doing them any favors."

Only interesting thing there is the longer distances (long drives, long approaches, and long putts galore). But then again, Oregon is full of nice settings, and I would judge Whistler's Bend to be the best in that category. Only problem with Whistler's Bend is that it is not very challenging...I scored 7 birdies my first round, and I'm usually playing just under par on a typical pro level course.
I've played just about every course in Oregon now, except Dexter...that's next on my list.

Sounds similar to a course in Northern Wisconsin in terms of difficulty, and of course Feldberg shows up and sets the record, lol. Sounds like the pro tees are significantly harder, which should be the case on all courses, especially ones like Kincaid that were made for a pro event. Pretty nuts how they can set up a course for one event, I've always loved watching the videos of courses getting prepared for big events like worlds. I know there are some out there for the courses in Monterrey and Santa Cruz, they're really adding to the courses and cleaning up a ton, removing a lot of the thick brush and poison ivy. Sounds like the typical woodsy course while in the woods, testing you with almost every shot.
While it might compare to some northern wisco courses, I'm sure the wilderness has everything in Wisconsin beat by a mile. Pretty sweet that you can play a round in some of the most beautiful scenary, and the only time I've seen a bear or a porcupine is probably at the county zoo or something, lol. It's pretty sad that people from the local area trash their own course, no matter how awesome the area looks there are always going to be those douchebags who leave all their crap on the course. I even get annoyed with litterbugs at my home course, and it's nothing special in terms of scenary.
Kincaid sounds like the place to be. Thanks for going out of your way to write up the review, I appreciate it. How long have you been living in Alaska?

"If a player uses any part of his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/"hairline" parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily. Although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet and facemask is impermissible against any opponent, game officials will give special attention in administering this rule to protecting those players who are in virtually defenseless postures . . ." http://nflspearhead.blogspot.com/
Perry lowered his helmet, hit Luck in the chest with the crown of his helmet (i.e. SPEARING). It's always illegal to do this, but the referees were probably also trying to make a point that this won't be allowed.
Per NFL.com's Rules Digest, these two are also listed as penalties warranting an automatic first down:
"A tackler using his helmet to butt, spear, or ram an opponent.
Any player who uses the top of his helmet unnecessarily." http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/penaltysummaries
Both of those apply to this hit as well. Broadcasters have been wrong before. Everything about this tackle is a blatant penalty. Anyone who has ever played football at any level of the game knows this is an illegal tackle, and downright dangerous for all parties involved. Nothing about it screams "fundamental tackling!" You can call me deaf, but I heard what the broadcasters said. They are simply wrong, as you are, by the letter of the NFL rule book. Not only was this not a clean hit, it's also up to the referees discretion as to what is deemed "unnecessary," so any further arguing on the point is moot. It was a penalty, it was deemed a penalty by the officials, it was called correctly as a penalty. Any way you look at it it's a penalty. Not sure how many different ways I can explain the same thing to you before you get it.
I want them to have some kind of line to protect the QB before they waste a number one pick on him......
That is because you are used to fanatics who blindly follow ownership no matter how silly the mistakes they make really are. I don't want him to get hurt but it is inevitable taking that kind of punishment.....
In a list of silly comments, this might be the silliest.
The top of his helmet hits Luck before anything else. That's spearing and that is an illegal hit.
The only thing the Fox commentators proved by insisting the hit was legal is that they have the same "knowledge" about football as OlBlu.

RG3 is the one that had the concussion, yet olblu thinks Luck is guaranteed to go down with a season ending injury. There is just no reasoning behind his prognostications outside of his agenda against TPTB and no one here cares about his agenda.
Now that his predictions for this season are down the toilet, the only thing he has left is Luck failing. Since it's obvious he won't fail on the field, he is pulling for a season ending injury so he can fill this board with posts about how the Colts should have seen that coming and drafted RG3. Of course, that argument would be doa if RG3 gets another concussion.
Last edited by Swingman; 10-13-2012 at 10:31 AM.
That is literally the definition of spearing. Olblu I played football in college thats a flag every time. Stop complaining and man up, you are wrong. It's ok to be wrong.
I appreciate people who take time to moderate. I understand not every post is going to get their attention....
That is what football players have to use to protect their heads now. You know, to keep dirty players like Luck from viciously and illegally ramming the tops of defensive players heads with their chests.
Last edited by travmil; 10-13-2012 at 02:05 PM.
This debate should have been put to bed several months ago, but after the GB game its clear that Luck was the correct choice. Luck is a top 5 NFL QB as a rookie
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Ummm no? I think Luck is damn good, but Top 5 in the NFL? No, not yet. His day will come though. Sooner than later too.
It's not "inevitable" that he'll get hurt. If he does, it's simply the unfortunate reality of the game. And I don't see how incessantly posting it day in and day out makes it any more or less likely to happen, but that's just me.
Don't bother him with facts like you have to be in the top 15 before you get to the top 5. It might help if you were the best QB in your rookie class and Luck isn't that either....
If I was wrong, I would but I am not wrong. That was not spearing and I haven't read one expert who watched it claim that was... Sorry, I won't take your word for anything.... ... It was a good hit and a bad call by the refs against the Vikings.....
Is there a way to also hide replies/quotes if someone is on your ignore list? I put OlBlu on ignore a while back, but people keep talking about him with quotes. I still basically end up seeing 90% of his posts and I'm ready to move on.
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.
It's like judging whether something is pornography or not. I know it when I see it.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

As part of a year-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Marin Civic Center, officials will illuminate the administration building's 200-foot golden spire Friday evening, making it visible from points across Central Marin.
Ground was broken for Civic Center construction 53 years ago, on Feb. 15 1960, officials noted.
At the time, the Independent Journal reported that a "crowd of about 350 heard the widow of Frank Lloyd Wright, architect of the Civic Center, say her husband was pleased with the project." She said Marin would "go into the record as the most-illuminated county in America" for inviting her husband to design the Civic Center.
"He was inspired by the beauty of the site," she declared. "He never violated nature and he put this building here to beautify it."
Send us your news: We want more news items from Marin's cities and towns. Email them to our City Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com, mail them to City Desk, Marin Independent Journal, 4000 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael, CA 94903, or fax them to 415-382-7209.

SPECIAL surpises were planned by both pupils and staff as they geared up for the final day of Aveland School - otherwise known as the Billingborough campus of St George's Academy.
Earmarked for closure by the authorities, the school has been steadily wound down over the last year with just 19 year nine students still attending in the last weeks as others had already finished their exams or transferred to the Academy's Sleaford site.
Vice-principal Tina Briggs, who joined the school in 2001, is proud of how well the skeleton staff have maintained standards and morale.
The Standard visited on the penultimate day of term to hear how the pupils have been coping with the feeling of seeing their school for the last three years steadily packed away.
Brandon Brickman said: "It is very sad and horrible. We would love to keep it open."
When asked how different it will be to their new school, Chris Thompson added: "We are going to miss how small it is and we like the teachers. You can find your way around easily and know where your friends are. Our new school is massive."
They paid a visit to look around the newly redeveloped school at Sleaford and will be sporting new St George's uniforms, and Mrs Briggs thought they all looked very smart.
The pupils said it had been quite good to have the place to themselves and had grown closer to be like onw big family with supportive staff, but sad to see everything run down. Miles Line said: "It didn't feel like it was really going to close until these last few weeks and now it has really kicked in."
A special memorabilia website fhas been set up: www.theaveland.org

Topic: Update and Adjuvant Chemo
Hi all. I got a call this week from my surgeon's coordinator. I have another post op follow op this Friday. I was informed that my case was presented at OHSU tumor board as well as a national conference that my surgeon attended last week. It has all been confirmed unanimously that they recommend 3 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. I go back and fourth about this and now I am facing the thought of to chemo or not to chemo. I guess my biggest concern and question is (and I will be asking this on Friday), if there is nothing cancerous or negative for the chemo to attack what's the point. At this point from what I gather, there is possibility that there could be things that are not seen or show up on scans and therefore chemo is recommended? Is this used as a preventative measure? I am also curious how chemo effects patients who have had resection. I was already appointed to meet with my onc next week and they want to start treatment soon. And I am about 5 weeks post op and was left with 2 segments of my liver and am quite curious how treatment would effect me (specifically the liver and such) I know a lot of these will be answered on Friday as well but would love to hear ya'lls thoughts and input. As always, thinking about this group of people and sending everyone blessings, strength, and hugs.

A WEDDING photographer who helped himself to more than £11,000 from his Down's Syndrome sufferer brother will be jailed if he doesn't start saving to pay the victim back.
Burnley Crown Court heard how father-of-two Andrew Gary Woodhouse, 40, forged his co-signatory's signature on a trustee account operated on behalf of his vulnerable younger sibling Jason, 37.
The money in the account, from the brothers' late parents' pensions, was meant to provide for Jason, who needs 24 hour care, but instead Woodhouse was siphoning it from the Marsden Building Society and spending it because he had fallen into financial difficulties.
It had only ended because an eagle-eyed cashier at the building society got suspicious.
The hearing was told when Woodhouse was questioned by police over his six years of dishonesty, he was asked if he ever gave Jason any of the money.
Prosecutor Eric Lamb said: "His response was that he might have given him the odd tenner or the odd lottery ticket."
The defendant had sentence deferred until January 9, by Judge Jonathan Gibson, who ordered him to save at least £100 per month if he is working and £30 if he is on benefits.
The judge who said if it came to it, a proceeds of crime hearing could be held and Woodhouse might have to sell his house to repay his brother, warned him: "If you don't abide by the conditions of the deferred sentence, you can expect an immediate custodial sentence."
The defendant, of Cumberland Avenue, Burnley, had earlier admitted fraud by false representation, by falsifying the signature of Eileen Cullen. Woodhouse, who had no previous convictions, had been committed for sentence by Pennine magistrates.
The prosecutor said Mrs Cullen received a letter from the building society, telling her that Andrew Woodhouse had been into the branch and withdrawn £270 and the signature purportedly signed by her on the slip didn't match hers. Checks revealed £11,160 had been withdrawn. Mrs Cullen called the police, the defendant was interviewed and said he had spent the money on household bills, food and "maybe something for Jason."
Nick Dearing, defending, said Woodhouse was now earning £20,000 and still had the wedding photography and portrait business, but publicity over the case had had a 'huge impact' upon it, there had been cancellations and work had dropped off.
The solicitor described the offence as a 'huge breach of trust'.

January 30, 2012
On Jan. 20, 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released its "Fall 2011" semi-annual regulatory agenda, covering the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as a number of other agencies governing employment laws.
The long-overdue release was not explained, nor did MSHA or OSHA offer on-line chat sessions this time to discuss the status of proposals and new initiatives with the regulated community — a departure from the approach taken with the past few releases.
The statement of regulatory priorities for the Department as a whole notes that the DOL is continuing its "Good Jobs for Everyone" strategy, which includes safe and healthful workplaces. It states that the mechanisms to achieve this goal include increased enforcement actions, more education and outreach, and additional regulatory actions to foster compliance.
The DOL's "P3 Initiative" (Plan, Prevent, Protect) will be maintained, although, as discussed below, one of the key facets of this P3 approach that was delineated in the 2011-2016 strategic plan is now missing from MSHA's agenda. The concept behind P3 is to require employers to "take full ownership" over their adherence to DOL requirements, and also to promote more openness and transparency that can put workers in a better position to determine whether their workplace "values health and safety." This has already been advanced, at least in part, by MSHA's renewed emphasis on miners' rights through a new brochure and training video.
The P3 regulatory actions already in progress for OSHA and MSHA include rulemaking activities aimed at controlling the spread of infectious diseases, examination of workplaces in underground coal mines, and identifying pattern of violations at all mines. The OSHA "I2P2" initiative (workplace safety and health management programs, known as injury/illness prevention plans) — another key rulemaking under P3 — is also advancing, with a Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) panel set to convene in March 2012.
In the DOL regulatory priorities statement, the agency observes that under P3, employers must create a plan to identify and remediate risks of legal violations and risks to workers, including a plan to inspect workplaces for safety hazards that could injure or kill workers.
Under the DOL's vision of I2P2, workers must be given opportunities to participate in the creation of these plans, and the plans would have to be made available to workers so they could help monitor their implementation. The prevention aspect of P3 requires employers to completely implement such plans to ensure that there are no legal violations, not simply a "paper process." The protection phase requires employers to verify, on a regular basis, that the plan's objectives are actually being met — that the plan actually protects workers from health and safety risks and other violations of their workplace rights (e.g., under Section 105C of the Mine Act, which covers miners' rights and whistleblower protections).
MSHA's regulatory plan key rulemakings (aside from the Pattern of Violations listed above, which applies to all sectors) are focused on the coal sector. These include the aforementioned finalization of a new standard to clarify examination requirements in underground coal work areas (set for completion in March 2012); lowering miners' exposure to coal dust and requirements for the use of continuous personal dust monitors in coal mines, both of which are set for completion in April 2012.
Both OSHA and MSHA will also be involved in regulatory actions to protect workers from the hazards of equipment that can pin, crush, or strike them through the use of proximity detection devices that could be employed during backing maneuvers.
The DOL indicates that technologies under consideration to prevent backing accidents include cameras, radar, and sonar to help view or detect the presence of workers on foot in blind areas. New monitoring technology, such as tag-based warning frequencies, which use radio and magnetic field generators to detect tags worn by workers, will also be considered. The MSHA proposal was slated for release in January 2012, but, obviously, that deadline has not been met. OSHA plans to issue a Request for Information in February 2012.
Another rulemaking item common to both OSHA and MSHA is modification of the crystalline silica standard, but OSHA will take the lead on that rulemaking. The silica rule went through a SBREFA panel years ago, and OSHA's proposed rule has been hung up at the Office of Management and Budget's OIRA agency now for nearly a year.
Normally, review takes 90 days. It is unclear when — or if — that rule will be proposed, although it remains a DOL priority and has been the subject of OSHA national emphasis programs since the 1990s.It is expected that, as proposed, the silica rule would cut the current exposure limit in half (bringing it to 50 ug/m3), and also dictate medical surveillance and exposure monitoring requirements, as well as specified best practices, for control of occupational silica exposure. MSHA states that it plans to follow the recommendations of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as well as the DOL's Advisory Committee on elimination of pneumoconiosis among miners in addressing the silica exposure limit. OSHA's new agenda calls for the proposed rule to be published in May 2012.
The agenda also calls for "retrospective" reviews of existing rules, and the safety/health rules targeted for this action under Executive Order 13563 include: OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard; updating of OSHA standards that incorporate national consensus standards related to acetylene and personal protective equipment; cranes and derricks in construction, a lookback at OSHA's chemical standards, and review (and likely revision) of MSHA's criteria and procedures for proposed assessment of civil penalties under 30 CFR Part 100.
OSHA also has a new Hazard Communication rulemaking at the final rule stage, and it, too, is over at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review. It will change the format of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) labeling, include the use of pictograms, and will require retraining of all workers.
In late January 2012, OIRA announced that it was extending the review period beyond the standard 90 days for that rule as well, after business interests lobbied against the inclusion of "unclassified hazards" in the HazCom rule. The rulemaking is designed to bring OSHA's HazCom standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) in sync with the Global Harmonization System (GHS) adopted by many foreign countries, as well as by other US agencies (e.g., Department of Transportation, Consumer Products Safety Commission). Interestingly, MSHA has yet to put HazCom/GHS coordination on its regulatory agenda, which raises the specter that separate training, labeling, and MSDS formats could be required by MSHA that are required at OSHA-regulated worksites.
In addition to the OSHA rulemaking initiatives discussed above, OSHA will also seek to modernize its recordkeeping system (although the appropriations bills funding OSHA and MSHA have riders barring OSHA from spending funds to move forward with that rulemaking). The idea is to require employers to electronically submit injury and illness data to OSHA through modification of 29 CFR Part 1904. Currently, employers simply need to record (not report) injuries at OSHA-regulated entities, whereas MSHA-regulated companies must affirmatively report any injuries or illnesses resulting in medical treatment, lost-time, or restricted duty.
OSHA whistleblower protection regulations would also be altered under the agenda, through new procedural rules that cover various whistleblower standards that OSHA enforces (e.g., transportation, consumer product safety, Food and Drug Administration, and Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among others).
Other rules on OSHA's agenda include the following:
With respect to MSHA's ongoing revision of the Pattern of Violations (POV) criteria, the agency says that the current regulations do not "reflect the statutory intent for section 104(e)" of the Mine Act, and that Congress intended this enforcement tool to be used against mine operators with disregard for health and safety or whose chronic history of persistent S&S violations exposes miners to the same hazards again and again. The final rule should, MSHA says, improve consistency in applying POV criteria. The targeted final rule date is April 2012.
Another item on MSHA's regulatory agenda concerns notification of the agency about legal identity. The existing requirements are not viewed as providing sufficient information for MSHA to identify all "operators" responsible for safety and health obligations under the Act, and so this initiative would expand the universe of information required to be submitted to MSHA. No further details are available about this activity, other than April 2012 is the due date for a proposed rule.
MSHA also plans to change its civil penalty structure once again, with a proposed rule slated for February 2012, according to the agenda. The last time MSHA changed Part 100 in 2007, it was a contributory factor in creating what — at one point — was a 19,000-case backlog at the Federal Mine Safety & Health Review Commission. MSHA's goal this time around is to "improve the efficiency" of the agency's efforts and "to facilitate the resolution of enforcement issues." Beyond that, details are vague. However, at a recent conference, one MSHA metal/non-metal district manager suggested that the range of options on negligence (now allowing an inspector to select "no, low, moderate, high, and reckless disregard" as the choices) and gravity (which runs from no lost workdays to fatal and from no likelihood of occurrence through unlikely, reasonably likely, highly likely, and occurred) would become more limited. This does create speculation that under a revised scheme, more citations would be characterized as high negligence and significant and substantial.
What is perhaps most interesting about the MSHA agenda is that its "I2P2" rulemaking — which was once part of the DOL's P3 priorities for MSHA — has disappeared from the agenda. This is curious given that, as recently as November 2011, the agency was still holding public hearings on the issue. In addition, having a safety and health management program in place is one of the "mitigating factors" MSHA would consider in de-selecting a mine from a POV list, according to the POV proposal. Moreover, in January 2012, Assistant Secretary Joe Main urged adoption of these comprehensive safety management programs in a letter he sent to the mining community, claiming: "In order to prevent mine deaths, operators must have in place effective safety and health management programs that are constantly evaluated, find-and-fix programs to identify and eliminate mine hazards, and training for all mining personnel." Given the prominence of this approach in the agency's communication, it is odd that the regulatory initiative was dropped from the agenda without explanation.

A pedestrian was killed and another critically injured after being hit by a dump truck near the San Rafael Transit Center Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Police responded to a call at 12:17 p.m. to Hetherton Street between Second and Third streets. The area was closed to traffic for nearly three hours as investigators probed the accident scene.
Olga Rodriguez of Novato was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman's handbag remained next to the covered body during the investigation.
The other victim, a male, was taken to Marin General Hospital with major injuries, said San Rafael police Sgt. Todd Berringer. His name was not released.
The driver of the truck, which belongs to Accu-Bore Directional Drilling, was turning from westbound Third Street onto southbound Hetherton Street when the collision occurred, Berringer said.
Police do not believe there were any other factors that caused the accident beyond the driver failing to see the pedestrians, Berringer said. The cause is still under investigation.
The driver, an Accu-Bore employee, is "fully cooperating" with authorities, and has voluntarily submitted to a blood test. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor, Berringer said.
Police have received conflicting reports about whether the pedestrians were walking toward or away from the San Rafael Transit Center.
Several bystanders said they saw the accident or the immediate aftermath.
"I was already looking toward the direction in which the accident happened," said Johnny Howlin of San Rafael, "and as I'm watching I see something I didn't think I was going to see: two pedestrians end up getting run over."
Howlin said he knew the female victim was dead, while the male victim "seemed to be responsive" a few seconds after the accident.
San Rafael's Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating the collision. The California Highway Patrol conducted a vehicle inspection of the dump truck.

Attempt to purchase Altima hybrid in WA state
I live in Washington state, and I've been looking into the possiblity of purchasing a the Altima Hybrid. I've looked at the reviews for it and other options that are currently available in my state and feel that it is the Alitma Hybrid is the one that best suits me and my needs.
I've contacted several local dealerships inquiring about it, for the most part I've been unsuccessful at finding one that can acquire an '08 (a used '07 is a possibility but I would opt for the current model year vehicle). Of the 3 I contacted, two of them have been dead ends and I am still waiting to hear back from the 3rd. From what I've heard from the other two dealerships, the outlook is not good for the third one. I am wonder what my next option(s) is in the event that the local dealership I am still wating to here from replies 'no'.
I have considered the possibility of purchasing the vehicle from northern california dealship (Redding most likely) then making the long trip down there to drive it up. This has it's share of logistics, concerns and additional costs involved.
If anyone has attempted to do something like this or similar, I would appreciate the input and advice on how to purchase a new vehicle out of state and how to deal w/ the logistics of transportation or pickup. Thanks.

Will mobile sensors revolutionise healthcare?
How the phone in your pocket could help power a revolution in healthcare that will allow your doctor to spot problems – and intervene – no matter where you are in the world.
Dr Leslie Saxon wants to be able to measure anybody's heartbeat, no matter where they are in the world.
The cardiologist, from the University of Southern California, specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease using wearable and implanted devices.
She believes that networked gadgets, such as an iPhone fitted with a heartrate monitor, could be the start of a revolution in healthcare that will allow your doctor to spot problems - and intervene – even if they are thousands of miles away.
She tells BBC Future about what this relatively inexpensive measure could mean for global health.

When designing fire station, EMT, and EMS shirts, Blauer worked with users to determine their needs and then built them to exceed their expectations. Unlike consumer clothing, which is designed for periodic wear, uniform shirts are worn everyday for 10-12 hours. They must be more durable, colorfast to wash and wear, and yet be light enough to be worn underneath turnout gear without over heating the wearer or becoming cumbersome or restricting range of motion. Our EMS, EMT, and fire station shirts must have wrinkle resistance to look professional during the workday and repel stains and clean up easily in the home laundry.
We have supplied EMS, EMT, and fire community with outerwear and uniforms for decades and always use the finest materials and the best construction methods so that your investment in uniforms provides the best fit, form, and function available.
