VI. FAQs
I. PayPals Seller Protection Policy:
The SPP is a policy that provides some protection against claims of nonreceipt and unauthorized payment. It WILL NOT protect you against SNAD claims. To qualify for the SPP, you must:
1. Live in the right country
The sellers primary residence must be in the U.S. Thus, the account must also be registered in the U.S.
2. Ship to the address on the transaction details page
PayPal no longer requires eBay sellers ship to confirmed addresses for coverage. Instead, the current requirement is to ship to the address as listed on the transaction details page in PayPal.
3. Shipment requirements
PayPal requires you obtain proof of shipment and/or proof of delivery - what you need depends on what kind of dispute is filed. To cover yourself against claims of unauthorized payment, you need mere proof of shipment. For example, UPS tracking showing package pickup, or a receipt from the PO. The proof may be physical (e.e.g, paper) or digital (e.e., e/DC status). The proof must show the buyer's city and state or zip code at minimum.
If you want coverage against claims of nonreceipt, you need proof of delivery. This must be available online (e.g., e/DC showing delivery or UPS tracking showing delivery). The proof must contain the buyer's city and state or zip code at minimum.
If the total combined payment (item price + shipping + handling + insurance) is $250 or more, you MUST get a signature upon delivery. If not, you WILL lose an INR claim. For shipping via USPS, get Signature Confirmation (SC). For the other 3 carriers, request a signature.
Best bet: Get proof of delivery as that covers all SPP situations.
Note: DC is confirmation of delivery only. It is not tracking. You may get some scans along the way, but consider those a bonus.
If you allow pickups, you will not have online trackable proof of delivery. You WILL lose all INR claims. A receipt signed by the buyer in DNA-typable blood will not satisfy PayPal. Therefore, do not accept PayPal for pickups.
If you want to ship to international locations, you need to use FedEx or UPS (get tracking) or USPS Express Mail International or Priority Mail International. UPS or FedEx will tend to tick off your buyer as they get charged brokerage fees. Additionally, if the buyer does not pay the brokerage fees, FedEx will go back to the seller to get the fees. Both USPS options can be used, but EMI is the only option if you need a signature on delivery. Keep in mind PMI cannot be tracked everywhere so be sure to investigate what option is best for your particular situation.
Registered Mail (USPS) will meet the PayPal SPP online trackable proof of delivery requirement for items under $250. RM does require a signature, but it is not displayed online and as such will not meet the signature requirement for items $250+. This means that as long as all other criteria are met, you can ship items under $250 to APO/FPO addresses with RM and be covered under the SPP. Thanks to Airtommy for confirming with PayPal that RM will work.
If you plan to ship with Fedex, you have 3 options for obtaining a signature (indirect, direct, and adult). To comply with the signature requirement, you should request either direct or adult. PayPal requires that the package be signed for by someone at the delivery address. Indirect may not get a sig from the delivery address, so it may not meet the SPP requirements. It might, depending on who the Fedex driver gets to sign, but you should not count on it.
4. Ship within 7 days of payment
You must ship with 7 days of payment if you want any SPP coverage for non-receipt.. For eChecks, the clock starts the day PayPal clears the payment into your PayPal account. For all other payment types, the clock starts as soon as the payment hits your PayPal account. The 7-day rule does not apply for claims of unauthorized payment. It is, however, best practice to meet the more stringent rule to cover yourself against more problems.
5. Item must be tangible
Services do not qualify for SPP protection. Intangible goods (such as digital goods) do not qualify for SPP protection. if you're selling something that is not tangible, you get zero protection. This means WoW codes, gift codes, prepaid cell phone minutes, eBooks, or anything you might email, etc are not covered. You can help protect yourself by shipping a physical item. No shipping means you violate the requirement for online-trackable proof of delivery. If you want to sell a gift card, you can email the code to your buyer but you had better also ship that physical card. If you want to sell a Staples discount code, you will not be SPP-eligible.
6. The transaction must be marked eligible or partially eligible on the transaction details page.
In general eBay sales should be marked as eligible. This will happen if the buyer does what he is supposed to and links the payment to the listing by paying from eBay or paying for eBay items within paypal. Even if the buyer's address is unconfirmed the sale should still be eligible (assuming all other criteria are met).
In general non-eBay sales will be marked as partially eligible, allowing for coverage against non-receipt but not unauthorized payments. Non-eBay sales may be marked as eligible with coverage against both types of claims when the buyer's address is confirmed.
Confirmed addresses are those at which a buyer receives his credit card statement. Do not confuse a confirmed address with a verified account. Addresses can also be confirmed through other means (Alternate Address Confirmation - usually involves faxes in utilities statements and related stuff), but most buyers use the CC method.
If your buyer indicates a confirmed address on the transaction details, but then requests you ship to another address, and you do it, you will lose an INR complaint automatically.
How do I know you the buyer's address is confirmed? Look at the transaction details page. Below the shipping address, you should see "Confirmed" in green letters (like in this screenshot).
Some addresses in the following countries have been reported to be confirmable: United States; Canada; United Kingdom; Japan*. keep in mind that a confirmed address is necessary but not sufficient for full SPP-eligibility for non-eBay sales. In contrast, a confirmed address is no longer required for eBay sales.
*Japan addresses may or may not be confirmable. Yonatan found that a Japanese address was listed as confirmed in an email and not confirmed in PayPal. YMMV.
II. Reversals and Chargebacks on PayPal payments
Reversal vs Chargebacks:
A reversal is done via PayPal. It may be done in response to an INR or a SNAD claim, or because the funds used in a payment were fraudulent, etc. A chargeback is done through a CC company, which yanks back the payment from PayPal, which in turns tries to yank it back from you. We often talk about these processes loosely at FW, but they are distinctly different and each has different implications for sellers.
III. How to fight reversals and chargebacks
1. Gather together your side of the story. Locate your DC/tracking number. If it's a SNAD complaint, locate all of your photos and the item description.
2. If it's a PayPal reversal, log into your PayPal Dispute Console and enter all the info requested. You must do this by the stated deadline (usually 3-10 days after the complaint is filed) or you automatically lose.
3. If the console will not allow entry of information, call PayPal and give your information over the phone.
IV. Important measures to take to protect yourself
In no particular order:
Refuse PayPal from most international buyers unless you are willing to expose yourself to the risk of reversals for nonreceipt or are willing to pay for trackable shipments.
Ship only to addresses provided by PayPal in the transaction details. Ship nowhere else. If a buyer needs a change of address refund and have then pay again.
Make sure you ALWAYS have DC/tracking on EVERY package. Get sigs when necessary.
Have clear, concise, and precise Terms of Sale.
Clearly and accurately describe your items, and take very good, clear photos. This is your best defense against a SNAD claim.
Not sure if your transaction is SPP-eligible? Log into your PayPal account and look at the transaction details. If the transaction is SPP-eligible, you'll see about halfway down the page the line "Seller Protection Policy" followed by "Eligible" in green type (see this screenshot for an example).
Not sure how to block payments from countries you don't ship to? If you do not ship worldwide, blocking people registered in countries to which you do not ship will really cut down on problems. You can put this block in place by logging into My eBay. On the left menubar click on "eBay preferences" (under "My Account"). In the "Seller Preferences" section, click the second to last "change" link on the right side (see this screenshot). That brings you to the Buyer Requirements page (looks like this). Choose whatever blocks you like. Mine are shown on that screenshot.
V. Important dates/Timeline
Day 0 Payment
Day 7 You need to have shipped by today to be covered by the SPP
Day 45 All INR and SNAD claims must have been filed by today
Day 46 - You're safe from all PayPal claims if they haven't been filed yet. You're still potentially at risk for CC chargebacks.
Day unknown CC chargebacks can be done for potentially months after payment, depending on the CC company
VI. Frequently asked questions:
1. How do I know if I am covered by the SPP?
Once the buyer has sent payment, look at the transaction details page. It should say either Seller Protection Policy: Eligible Seller Protection Policy: Partially Eligible or Seller Protection Policy: Ineligible.
2. How can I tell if my payment was funded with a CC or not?
If your payment was marked an eCheck, then you know it wasnt a CC. If your buyer does not have a verified account, then he has either paid with existing funds or a CC. If your buyer has a verified account, there is no way to tell. No, PayPal CSRs will not tell you how the buyer paid if you call and ask.
3. I have a premier/business account and dont want to accept credit cards. What do I do?
As of August 18, 2005, you are no longer be able to block CC payments. If you accept PayPal, you must accept all forms. This also applies to personal accounts that may be forced to upgrade. See the second question above. Sellers may not block echeck payments on eBay at this time.
4. I just received an eCheck and my buyer wants me to ship ASAP. Should I?
NO. PayPal tells you to wait until the eCheck clears. This usually takes 4-5 days, but may take longer. The eCheck can bounce, just like a real check, so you must wait. If your buyer gets pissy about the wait, forward them the payment notice you got from PayPal and point out that PP is telling you to wait.
5. My buyer wants to send the item to his son at school. Am I protected?
Yes, if the son's school address is listed on the transaction details page and you meet all other SPP requirements.
6. A buyer wants me to send his item to Nigeria. Am I covered?
Possibly, assuming all SPP requirements are met, but if you want to ship a widget to Nigeria, may I first suggest you buy some oceanfront property in Tucson?
7. My item sold for $5400, but my buyers CC limits are $2000 and $4000 respectively. She wants to pay me in 2 separate payments so she can charge the item. Is this a good idea?
Split payments are no longer forbidden by the SPP, but they still aren't a good idea. The buyer could rather easily reverse one payment as you would have proof of delivery for just one of the two payments. Also, you lose an extra 30 cents in fees for each additional payment.
8. My item sold for $240, and my shipping/handling fee was $12. Do I need a signature at delivery?
Yes, you do, if you want to be covered by the SPP.
9. My buyer lives just 20 minutes away and wants to pay with PayPal so she can use her CC, but she wants to pick up my item since shes so close. Should I let her?
You can let her pick it up, but DO NOT accept PP on this sale. You will lose any INR complaint.
10. But Ill have my buyer sign a receipt. Wont that work?
NO! PayPal doesnt care if you have a receipt. PayPal doesnt care if CNN broadcasts live footage of the buyer accepting her item. PayPal only cares about having online-trackable proof of delivery for coverage against claims of non-receipt.
11. Why do you say I have to do this, that, and the other thing? I sell a lot, dont do what you say I should, and never have any problems.
Good for you. Youve been lucky. Dont assume you will continue to be. If you like the level of risk you are exposing yourself too, fine. If you prefer to minimize risk, follow the terms of the SPP.
12. Do you work for PayPal? You sure sound like you love them and think they can do no wrong.
No, I dont work for PayPal or eBay. PayPal is a tool, nothing more. Used correctly, you can conduct business with minimal risk. Used incorrectly, you can lose your shirt.
13. My buyer has an APO (or FPO) address. It is not confirmed. Am I covered under the SPP?
Yes, if the APO/FPO address is listed on the transaction details page and you meet all other SPP requirements. APO/FPO addresses are tricky, however. You must use the USPS (no UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc). As of sometime in November 2006 DC is available for most APO/FPO addresses. Signature confirmation does not seem to be currently available based on information at usps.com. You can also send your item Registered Mail. If you use RM, confirmation of delivery does show online. RM requires a signature upon delivery, but it does not show online. This means that RM will work as confirmation of delivery and therefore meet the SPP requirements ONLY for items under $250. Thanks to Airtommy for confirming PayPal will accept RM as proof of delivery.
14. I shipped a widget to my buyer confirmed address with UPS. My buyer then did an address correction with UPS that resulted in the package going somewhere else. What will PayPal do?
According to this thread, that would result in PayPal ruling delivery was made to an unconfirmed address, which means the transaction would not be SPP eligible. Buyers may similarly have products rerouted through a USPS forwarding scheme. I've seen reports from PayPal reps that if the tracking/DC shows the package was sent to the confirmed zip but was forwarded in response to a buyer's change of address forward order, that this should be covered by the SPP. You may have to talk to a rep to get them to handle this situation properly.
15. My PayPal account is in the negative. Can PayPal yank money from my bank account or CC?
PayPal used to do this, but lost a lawsuit several years ago and now will not pull funds from any source without your authorization. If your account balance is negative (through a chargeback, reversal, etc), here is what they may do (in the likely, though not guaranteed, order):
*Take any funds in your paypal account to bring the balance back to zero
*Use any incoming payments to cover the negative balance
*Ask you to add money to your account to solve the problem.
*"Piggyback" the owed amount onto any payments you might make. There is full disclosure as to the total amount you are authorizing to be pulled from your selected funding source, and you do have the option to decline to make any payments.
*Send your account to collections
Keep in mind that you will not be able to send any payments (including payment of eBay fees) until your account is brought back to zero. If you refuse, and incoming payments are not sufficient to create a positive balance, your account may eventually be locked and sent to collections. Opening a new account to get around the restrictions is forbidden by the UA, and if/when PayPal discovers the new account, they can and will lock it and use any funds in it to cover the previous negative balance.
16. My buyer filed a SNAD dispute, and I lost. What happens now?
Your buyer will be given 10 days to return the item to you. He must pay for it, and you cannot be charged for the return shipping fee. The package must be returned with DC/tracking (and a sig for items $250+), just like you have to do as a seller shipping goods. At the end of the 10 days if the DC/tracking shows delivery, PayPal coordinates the refund. If the DC/tracking shows the item is still in transit, typically a PayPal rep will allow it to go a few more days. If the buyer does not provide proof of return, and you do not otherwise acknowledge receipt, then PayPal closes the dispute with no money changing hands. That doesn't mean you're out of the woods, as the buyer may be able to file a chargeback.
17. Will I always lose when shipping to an unconfirmed address?
Confirmed addresses are no longer needed for eBay sales. For non-eBay sales, PayPal looks for online-viewable proof of delivery (and a sig when necessary) when handling INR claims. The confirmed address requirement comes into play when defending against a chargeback, or when the buyer claims the payment was unauthorized. So says this PayPal employee at Paypal's Online Merchant Network. I haven't had to defend against INR claims with unconfirmed addresses yet, so can't confirm this firsthand. IMO, given payPal's vagaries it's probably better to assume that unconfirmed will result in a loss, and be pleasantly surprised if you win.
18. Does the SPP apply to off-eBay sales?
Yes, it applies to sales made both on eBay and off eBay. However, note the special rules about confirmed addresses still exist for non-eBay sales. Also, the SPP does not apply to Direct Payment or Virtual Terminal sales (f you don't know what these are you don't use them).
19. Is there a limit on how much coverage I can get through the SPP?
The old limit of $5k per year has been lifted. Coverage is now unlimited (not to exceed the amount of the disputed payment, of course).
20. I sold 12 widgets to the same eBay buyer. Can i ship them all in one box, or do i need one tracking # per item?
The general rue of thumb is that you need at least as many tracking #s as payments. So if all 12 widgets were on one invoice, you need only one tracking #. If the buyer paid you in 12 separate payments, you need a tracking # for each and every payment. If this bothers you or the buyer, then refund and re-invoice into one payment, but be aware the buyer will probably want a shipping discount if you do this.

Tad Burness, creator of "Auto Album" which ran weekly in the Herald, died of pulmonary heart failure early Monday at his home in Pacific Grove. He was 79.
"He is at peace now," Sandy Burness said of her husband.
Mr. Burness is best known for his "Auto Album" cartoon panels and books. "Auto Album," first published June 12, 1966, has been published in four book collections. He has published more than 25 books on subjects ranging from classic cars to homes built in the 1800s.
The first books that Mr. Burness published were "Cars of the Early '20s" in 1968 and "Cars of the Early '30s" the next year. He has published Chevy and Ford car spotters guides.
He wrote the feature "Pict-Tours" that ran in the Herald during the late '80s and early '90s. "Pict-Tours" showcased houses on the Monterey Peninsula with a brief history of the house and construction type.
Mr. Burness was a member of the Peninsula Baptist Church in Pacific Grove and was church pianist for 15 years. He volunteered at Pacific Grove Convalescent, playing piano for residents, for more than 25 years.
Mr. Burness was born July 11, 1933, in Berkeley to Wallea Tomey and Thomas Burness. He had a sister and two brothers. Tad graduated from Sequoia High School in Redwood City in 1951.
Sandy Burness met Mr. Burness in May 1967 through computer dating.
"I was at junior college in Sacramento and filled out a form and paid three bucks," Mrs. Burness said, "Tad responded." They eloped and married in Reno in July. The Burnesses moved to Pacific Grove in 1979.
"He was the greatest person and he loved his Lord," Sandy Burness said.
Mr. Burness is survived by his wife, Sandy; his daughter, Tammy, and two grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at Peninsula Baptist Church in Pacific Grove.

Boats.com Video Boat Reviews: Behind the Scenes
The Boats.com review team has developed a routine that includes high-definition video, a side of laughter, and (when possible) lobster for dinner.
"Where are we going for lobster tonight?"
That's the first question Lenny Rudow asked me when I picked him up at the airport last Wednesday morning. According to Lenny, a Maryland native, lobster is what one eats when visiting New England.
"Haven't decided," I mumbled, concentrating on the many merges and turns required to exit the Providence airport. To me, lobster is tourist food. So finding a place in Newport that served it would require a restaurant off my usual path.
The coffee-fueled discussion quickly moved on to the challenges for which that dinner would be the reward: how to best show off the next video boat review subject on a not so picture-perfect day. Low, jagged clouds raced across a gray sky, and Narragansett Bay was dotted with the blown spume and whitecaps of a gusty southeast wind.
But we weren't making a marketing video, we were reviewing a boat. Running the boat in breeze and waves would allow Lenny to write a better review, because he could see how the Hunt 44 would handle in something more challenging than sun-sparkled flat water. For once he'd be able to write something other than "wind five knots, light chop" on the performance data sheet.
Of course, that brought up another not-so-minor obstacle that he didn't know about.
"Um, we don't have a chase boat yet," I told him. My job as the producer included important details like this one. And the chase boat needed to be a bit more robust than your average boat tender. Keeping up with a speeding powerboat in the wind and waves that Lenny was so psyched about, while also keeping the video gear dry, required a serious platform.
"So… maybe we can do fly-bys, near the dock?" There was doubt in Lenny's voice, because he knew that running shots taken from a chase boat can be much more dynamic than footage taken from a fixed spot.
Since there was no point in dwelling on that problem, we moved on to other topics: how to best highlight the unique features of this particular boat while also pointing out a few details that Lenny thought could be made even better. And since we were both heading to Annapolis right after we finished the job, we talked about the weekend forecast there—no wind would be ideal for his offshore fishing trip, but not so nice for my regatta.
Fortunately, by the time we arrived on site, we had found a large RIB that would make an ideal video platform. We'd be able to get all the running footage we needed—as long as it didn't start raining. The worry knot in my stomach mostly disappeared.
We decided to check off some of the interior shots first, hoping the light might be a little less gray late in the afternoon. Paul the videographer set up his camera, the enormous tripod taking up the full width of a generous main cabin. He and Lenny talked through the script and discussed when to ask a member of the boatbuilder's staff to come down for an interview. After a few more logistical discussions, we started filming.
Here's how it works: Once Paul says "rolling," Lenny begins to talk about a specific feature. I write down his first few words, to make it easier for Paul to find that clip again later. When he's finished, we either agree that it's a keeper or talk about ways to make it better. Maybe there's a clearer way to say something, a word repeated once too often, or maybe Paul wants to frame the shot slightly differently? If so, we try it again, until we have a take we're happy with. I log the time, keeping a running total so we know how much we have left of the total four or five minutes available.
After almost fifty video boat reviews, we've developed an efficient system—and we always find time for a laugh. On each boat we review there's an unexpected surprise: an extra feature we need to fit in, a cabin or head too tight for the camera, Paul, and Lenny to squeeze inside, or a creative perspective we hadn't anticipated that simply begs to be tried. And that's what keeps us all coming back for more.
Well, that and the lobster.
It turns out that "Lobster Mac" (translation: lobster mixed in with macaroni and cheese) is a local specialty at one of my favorite restaurants in Newport, Norey's. It also turns out to be Lenny's new favorite New England treat. So the next time I pick him up at the airport, I'll definitely have the dinner question answered.

Betting Walter's No Cliff
After earnings last week I dumped Cliff Natural Resources (CLF) for a loss. It stung a bit, since I had only been in the stock a short time before the earnings debacle and guide down. At that time I questioned selling after such a big drop, but now seeing CLF in the $27s it just reaffirmed that some of your better trades will be taking losses. They don't feel good. They aren't going to make you rich, but they will keep you in the game and help you maintain flexibility.
At the same time I was kicking CLF to the curb, I was battling second thoughts on Walter Industries (WLT). There has been enough correlation between these two I immediately became concerned WLT would quickly follow suit. Again, I held to the strategy I originally laid out, so I still hold WLT. Now, looking over this chart a bit closer, WLT looks like it may be poised to move higher. The whole metals and mining group has done its best to shake off the weakness in precious metals, although the gold and silver miners have been killed and now the sellers are really going to work on the group....150 more words left in this article.

'Q: Alexander Ovechkin gave you a shot from behind a few days ago and got kicked out of the game. What happened there? A: We got stuck in our zone chasing the puck for a while. Finally, I got the puck, dumped it out and I skated to our bench, and about 3 or 4 seconds after I dumped the puck, I got hit from behind. I had no clue anyone was coming, so I wasn't protecting myself. It was a very gutless play on his part, I was defenseless, I couldn't protect myself, I couldn't see him because he was coming from behind.'

Stroud rugby celebrate rich history with open day
11:39am Monday 24th February 2014
11:39am Monday 24th February 2014
STROUD RFC are holding the first in a series of open days this Saturday at Fromehall Park to mark the club's 140th anniversary.
There will be a variety of food and hot drinks available from 1pm and the chance to watch Stroud lock-horns with Whitehall in the SSE South West Division Gloucester Premier at 2.30pm.
Over the last 18 months the club has concentrated its focus on financial security and a new trustees and management team has been appointed.
Sponsorship director Steve Dechan said: "A lot of work and difficult decisions has ensured the club is financially sound but we have a long way to go to realise our potential.
"We want to continue to upgrade our facilities to become a brilliant rugby and community centre and more attractive to supporters.
"We want to see as many people from Stroud at the game on Saturday."
Stroud was established in 1873 and runs two senior teams, and nine mini/junior teams ages from six to 17 (around 180 children in total). The first team plays in SSE South West Division Gloucester Premier.
Pre the advent of leagues and professionalism sides such as Gloucester, Bristol, Bath, Leicester, Llanelli, Rosslyn Park, Wasps, Worcester and Exeter, all appeared on Stroud's list of opponents.
International caps have been won by a number of ex-Stroud players including John V. Smith, Charles Woodruffe, Tim Payne and Nick Abendenon.
In 2013 Stroud Rugby was one of only 10 tens clubs out of 160 to secure funding from the RFU and O2 to promote Touch Rugby.

Get the Recipe
I've been crushin' hard on persimmons this winter, eating them out of hand, candying them in simple syrup and spooning them over yogurt, or puréeing them and shaking them into cocktails like Old Fashioneds and fizzes. These medium-sized, smooth-skinned fruits still manage to feel exotic because they're mostly found in fancy stores, and only during the fall and winter months.
Because persimmons are just about to go out of season, I've been eating up as many as I can before they disappear, and I urge you to do the same. One of my favorite ways to enjoy this bright, sweet fruit is in a yogurt-based lassi: I simply sub in persimmon for the mango, and I get a pale orange, smooth and creamy drink that's great for breakfast or, like its mango cousin, sipping alongside some spicy food.
Persimmons are mainly available in two versions: Hachiya, which is jelly-like and soft when ripe, and Fuyu, which stay firm even when ripe. Though I generally prefer Hachiya, Fuyu are easier to find, and either will work in this recipe. Just make sure you pick some up in the next few days, or you might miss out!

Employee Recycling
Are mixed paper and cardboard collected separately where you work?
If not, they should be. All nonresidential properties (i.e., businesses, schools, institutions), regardless of their size, are required to recycle these materials.
Other recycling requirements may also apply. It is the responsibility of
your property owner or manager to make a determination. To do so,
they must answer these questions:
- Does this single location, complex or institution produce more than 100 tons of solid waste annually?
- Does this property have an average annual occupancy of 200 persons or more?
If the answer to either of these questions is 'yes,' then your property owner or management firm must also provide for the recycling of one principal recyclable material. (If county staff determines that the principal recyclable material is cardboard and/or paper, no additional recycling is required.)
Other Ideas:
- Encourage fellow workers to buy recycled products

If you want to learn more or to ask questions about how to recycle at your place of work, you may contact us via email or by calling 703-324-5230, TTY 711.

Well, I guess we got your attention!
Man, oh, man.
When I asked the producer who was on site yesterday from WEHT TV if he knew how many people would have been able to stream our announcement before their site sent out "NO MORE!" error messages, he said, "Forty thousand."
Forty thousand?
As in…40,000?
And I just heard from the creator of CoasterBuzz … my friend Jeff sent his compliments, along with this message: CoasterBuzz set its record for simultaneous users Wednesday around 12:30 EDT. We had about 2,000 unique users hitting us at once. That's more "buzz" than Millennium Force, X, Dragster, Kingda Ka … any of the big announcements in the last five years.
I'd say Holiday World made the right decision.
Yes, we're definitely getting that impression.
And if one more person emails me suggestion we name the three coaster trains the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, I'm going to cry.
Those were Christopher Columbus's ships … back in 1492.
We're talking more modern times (and the Mayflower) which sailed in 1620.
Okay, I admit it, I had to double check those facts, too.

Adidas won't want him running away from the most popular young team in the league, either.
I really cant help but think that a deal is in place with Houston. I just cant see them releasing Scola without having an agreement. And I cant help but think theres some trickery involved with Scola...and the OKC thing is out there to throw people off.
If I'm Orlando and OKC is making this offer, I'd drive Dwight Howard to OKC.
Also, if Dwight actually cares about having a legitimate shot at winning a title, he'd be more than happy to play for the Thunder. Otherwise, he'd just be like Carmelo and care less about winning a title or even winning in the playoffs and just be happy in the "big lights".
Id really kinda hate to see OKC's tax bill in a couple years if Howard re-signed there...so much for small markets not being able to compete and pay the lux tax...
Now, i don't know if they WILL pay tax or not. That's up to them. But you are saying that they will "almost assuredly" have to go over tax, which is not true.
If they give Howard his max in 2013-14, Howard/Durant/Westbrook will be under 52 mil combined. While the tax line is bound to be above 70 mil that year.
So they'll have 20 mil, more than enough to add role players.
Their salaries will keep growing every year, but so will the tax line.
My bet is that they stay under the tax most of the time. Like the Spurs, who stay under tax unless there's some amazing deal available.

Military wife and Zachary resident Sara Horn was surprised with her husband's initial "no" reaction to her writing her new book, "My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife."
Though she'd written other books on faith, husband Cliff Horn questioned the purpose of her new experiment. "Why would you want to do that (submission)?" she said he asked her.
Sara Horn was puzzled. "I thought he'd welcome the opportunity to have me at his beck and call," she wrote in her book. "I was waiting for some crack about bringing his slippers and fetching him a sweet tea."
Then again, she thought about the negative connotation attached to the word "submission."
"Why would I want to do something so many in our world today see as a very old-fashioned if not archaic idea for marriage?" she said she asked herself.
Then she tapped into her true feelings about her marriage and her worship. "I wanted to love my husband God's way," she said during a recent interview. "I wanted to honor Cliff as the husband and leader of our home," she said.
Cliff Horn supported Sara's efforts after the pair researched the roles of a husband and wife in Ephesians 5:21-33. In one passage of her book, Horn described submission as a reminder to both husbands and wives that life should revolve around service to God. "This is not some form of old-fashioned twisted slavery but praise and honor and recognition to the one who created us," she wrote.
In her book, Horn shares her experiences about submission and her husband's role as head of household through lighthearted and tougher moments including everything from cooking and cleaning the house, yielding to her husband to lead the family devotionals and learning to be patient with her husband's efforts to take the lead in buying his family a new home.
Now, after celebrating their 15th anniversary in June, the pair has grown even closer, Horn said. "I have never felt more love from him. We're more focused on each other and our relationship and we communicate better," she said.
The couple's 12-year-old son Caleb has even noticed the difference in his parents' behavior since the experiment, Horn said. "He sees us apologizing and hugging each other when we do argue," she said.
Reaching this point in their marriage was not without many challenges. As a U.S. Navy reservist, Cliff Horn's Seabees unit has been deployed to countries including Iraq, and Central and South America through the years. He is currently training in California and will soon deploy for Afghanistan, she said.
It is during such times that the family relies on prayer and seeking God's strength over their own. Horn said she also gains support through her ministry to military wives that has included two published books and a support organization called Wives of Faith. In all, she has written 10 books.
To improve upon her role as a submissive wife, Horn felt that she had to be more than a partner to Cliff. "I wanted to be more intentional about showing love and respect and showing ways of selflessness," she said.
Sara Horn had some previous experience of applying Bible standards after she wrote "My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife" several years ago.
During that time, she was humbled, particularly after her family moved into her husband's parents' home for a while. But in that time, she said her family grew happier, she cooked more, whined less and put her family first. "For the first time as a wife, I saw myself as the thermostat of my family and realized my actions have great influence …," she wrote.
Since living in submission, she has learned much.
"The word submit has six letters and it's sometimes a very offensive word to women and one of caution to men," Horn said. "It doesn't mean a woman can't voice her opinion and speak up, but she does trust her husband to make decisions.
"Being biblically submissive is not becoming a robot. God has created two roles, the husband and the wife. I'm following my husband based on following Christ. It's a dual role in the relationship. The husband is called to love his wife as the church," she said.
It was challenging, Horn said, particularly when disagreements arose. "This submission thing was not clicking as I hoped it would," she wrote, following a disagreement during a house hunt. But before she could fly off the handle, she listened to God, she said. "Once again, I felt like God was whispering a little lesson in all of this about waiting on him, not rushing ahead, not trying to find the answer myself, letting go. Maybe that is part of what submission means too," she wrote.
In another passage, Horn is angered with her husband after he decides to delay moving her mother's piano and he proceeds to do an exercise workout with his friends first. "I was in anger overload and about to boil," she wrote.
Later, when her husband called her, she ignored his call. "Obviously, I wasn't being very submissive. But I'm not sure Cliff was being very head of household," she wrote.
The lesson learned, she wrote, "This whole submission idea still feels like there's a lot of tension in it — there's a pushing and pulling to be right — or to give up my rights. But I don't think that's what God intends."
She also learned how to keep resentment at bay. "You're cleaning, working, juggling and your husband is sitting and watching TV? It can feel so frustrating and downright unfair." To combat those feelings, she exercised kindness. The result, "I'm seeing my husband respond the same way. He helps more. He sees more," she said.
In the end, the couple work through many of life's ups and downs as most couples do. "This is my experience. I share the good, the bad and the ugly and I'm honest with the successful and not so successful moments," she said.
The results were surprising.
"Going through this experience, Cliff changed more than I did as far as leading the family," Horn said. "By me stepping back, it gave him room to lead as a man."
Horn also said the experience freed her. "I don't feel like I have to do it all on my own anymore," she wrote.
"My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife" is available at all major bookstores. Or visit Sara Horn's website, http://www.sarahorn.com.

Mother may know best, but that doesn't mean she's always right. In his new book, Because I Said So!, Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings looks into those parental edicts: all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television (you'll hurt your eyes!) or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven years!) or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country's leading trivia guru. Jennings joined us to separate myth from fact to debunk a wide variety of parental saynigs: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, don't talk to strangers, and so on.

Women's jobs take a backseat
Women tend to take a backseat to their husband's job, with many likely to quit when both partners are working long hours, according to an American study.
An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 non-professionals from dual-earner families show women, who work 50 hours or more a week, still do most of the housework and care for children.
If women have husbands who work 60 hours or more per week it increases the odds of quitting
a paid job by 42 per cent. Researcher Cha Youngjoo, of Cornell University, says the odds of quitting increase to 51 per cent for professional women. Professional women who are also mothers are more likely to quit their job by 112 per cent. On the other hand, professional men, regardless of whether they are parents, hardly experience any effects by having a wife who works long hours.
Authorities in a county in Guangxi have reshuffled officials at least 1,700 times in the past three years,
Between January 2007 and February this year, government leaders in Lingshan county appointed and dismissed officials 1,705 times.
A tax official obtained the documents from the county government and uploaded the information on the internet.
The heads of 18 bureaus had been changed during the three-year period. Some were transferred to other departments after less than a year on the job. Zhu Lijia, a professor from the National School of Administration, says there are typically 150 to 200 officials in a county, and the situation in Lingshan is rare.
The records over the past three years have been removed. Liu Baohua, deputy head of the county's organisation department, says the appointments are normal. "There are hundreds of units and officials. [One] official's adjustment will involve several [others]; 1,705 times is common," he says.
Vevion Hong Kong and its director were fined HK$19,500 for wage offences under the Employment Ordinance. The prosecution was launched by the Labour Department.
The company failed to pay wages of about HK$16,000 to an employee within seven days after the expiry of wage period and termination of employment, as required by the ordinance.
The director was convicted for his consent, connivance or neglect in the wage offences. According to the ordinance, wages due upon expiry of wage period or upon termination of employment shall be paid as soon as practicable, but not later than seven days thereafter. Any employer who fails to do so wilfully and without reasonable excuse is liable to a maximum fine of HK$350,000 and imprisonment. Employees who are owed wages should call the Labour Department's complaint hotline on 2815 2200.

Have you ever noticed that being around a happy, enthusiastic friend makes you feel happy too? You can look at mutual induction in a similar way: A current flowing through one circuit creates a current in a nearby circuit. Mutual inductance measures the amount of change required for this effect to take place. Here, we explore using simulation to compute the mutual inductance in different wire coil arrangements.Read More

Microfluidic systems often rely on valveless pumps, as they are both gentle on the biological material and low in the risk of clogging. However, by design, this type of pump is not suitable for viscous fluids and systems with small length scales or low flow rates. To overcome this limitation, you can introduce a micropump mechanism that converts oscillatory fluid motion into a unidirectional net flow.Read More

I am very impressed with FreeSoul's ability to get up and out in the morning. With the forecast of 87 for today I decided last night that I would get up and run before work.
My DH rolled his eyes when I made this announcement, which kinda made me mad and brought out the "I'll show him" attitude. So thanks, honey.
The alarm went off at 4:45 and I rolled out of bed. Having not been up this early in forever I was surprised it wasn't light out already. I don't know what I was thinking. I got dressed and decided to pack my lunch before I ran so it would be getting light out while I was running.
I stepped outside at 5:15 and though it felt cool you could tell the humidity was high. It was so great to be out running as the sun was coming up. My first mile felt fast but was a little slower than I had hoped so for the second mile I started pushing the pace and brought it down nicely. I kept pushing through the last 1.6 miles and was so happy that my pace was well below a 10mm which I haven't had on a training run for a couple months. Negative split run, YAY me.
I guess I under-estimated how much the heat had been effecting me.
I ran with my RB-S Saturday morning (I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to run with anyone for a week) but I am so glad I did. It was cool out and we were able to run the whole thing with no breaks at a pace I haven't done in a while. Also, while running I was talking about how several people suggested I needed shoes so when I was getting dressed that morning I looked at the bottom of my shoes. They are only 3 1/2 months old but have a large portion rubbed off only on the right shoe heel. I have never had a wear pattern like that before. S mentioned that I have been dragging my feet and shuffling. She thought it was because I was fatigued, which I agree. But more important to me is that it shows that I have altered my gait. This all started with my hip hurting in April. I am now making a conscience effort to pick my feet up and propel myself forward instead of just shuffling.
Tomorrow's forecast is 88 degrees so I am hoping to get out for a run early again.
Thanks, FreeSoul for your inspiration and dedication. I am not sure I could do this every morning like you do. I hope you get an afternoon nap, I am ready to crawl under my desk.
Happy Running!

Range Safety question(s)
Here in Az its not uncommon for recreational shooters to go out in the desert to shoot their firearms.This was the case a few weeks ago.I had just purchased a Mosin Nagant and took the wife out to give it a whirl. This is only the second time I have taken her out shooting,and this was only her first time ever shooting a rifle.
At first,I was going to setup the target down the wash a bit,but my wife called me on it and said,"what if someone or something comes up the wash?"
She was totally correct and I respected her judgement,So I scouted for a better location.
The area we finally ended up with was a bend in the wash with a Large rock formation as a backstop. We were at least 75-100 yards away from the backstop and target. We each had Safety Glasses,and hearing protection. All shells and litter were picked up prior to leaving the area.
My wife and I were taking turns shooting,5 rounds each. After each turn,we would both go down range to check the target.
On one occasion,after my turn,I asked my wife to accompany me down range to check the target. She declined and said "Im just gonna stay here and load the gun."
This threw up a red flag,as an unsafe act,and I again asked her to go down range with me. "She chuckled and said "What do you think im gonna shoot you in the back?" I thought "Not on purpose..."
I explained to her that it was a safety thing.She said she was just gonna sit back at the table I brought while I went down range. I insisted she go down range. She got all steamed,and blurted out "You dont trust me." With that she stormed off.
I tried to later explain to her that my methodology of going down range was instilled in me in the time I served in the Army.
I was taught that at a zero range(which is similar to how we were shooting) everyone one on the firing line goes down range to check their targets TOGETHER regardless if they are already zeroed. I can remember my time in the military,zeroing my weapon,and having to stay on the firing line until everyone was either zeroed,or out of rounds. I remember going down range with everyone else,standing there,and walking back with everyone and sitting in the foxhole while everyone else shot,and tried to zero.
Her thing is that is a moot point because I am no longer in the military and those rules dont apply anymore.
So this is how I was trained,and since this was my "range" those were my rules.
Was I out of line in my request of my wife to accompany me down range? She says she has talked to many people and they all say I was overly anal in my range safety procedures. Thoughts,opinions?
Needless to say,ill likely never take my wife shooting again,unless its at an actual range,which yes some will say would be the optimum environment,but who here hasnt gone out in the woods or deserted areas for some plinking?

Someone has to be the RSO. If you can't take your wife downrange, (maybe she's tired, don't like snakes, wrong shoes, etc.) take the bolt from your Mosin Nagant downrange with you. Explain to her it's not a trust issue but a safety issue, and that everyone needs to be on the same page all the time.

She's being lazy. However, that would bother me if she stayed back to watch the guns to prevent theft. Mind you, it should be strictly hands off of the guns while you are downrange.

Wow, tough situation to find yourself in.
Some people don't understand that when it comes to safety, it's NEVER personal, and "trust" has nothing to do with it. Sounds like your wife doesn't have a realistic concept of safety (does she really think that people don't get shot accidentally?)
If someone is offended because someone else double-checked them on a safety issue, then they have an attitude problem, plain and simple.

I agree with Scott - it has nothing to do with trust - it has everything to do with safety. Good gun handling skills are just as important on informal ranges as they are on formal ranges. The rule is "No handling of any items (e.g. - guns, mags, sunglasses or a soda can) on the shooting bench and no handling of firearms anywhere on the range during a cease-fire". Firearm accidents don't happen in a vacuum - they usually take a person, firearm, ammo and not following, one or more, basic safely rules. I would direct your wife to a firearms safety course and not attempt to train her yourself. Best of luck, Dan

My wife and I also go shooting together.
On nice weekends, there are usually other shooters but we occasionally have the place to ourselves. My wife's concerns are leaving the rifles unattended, even though it is a private range. Rather than argue with her (which rarely has any measurable benefit) I agree that we will take turns servicing targets, with the other playing babysitter to the rifles.
We follow the range rules, which are essentially
She was present when the group of shooters at the benches cautioned one guy who started fooling with his scope when others were servicing targets. He argued for a few seconds, but gave up when someone explained what "don't touch" means.
I've never raised the "trust" issue and neither has she. I believe we both know that the only excuse for violating one of the range rules is ignorance, and neither of us is ignorant.

Well, on an uncontrolled range like that it would be ideal if you could get your wife to the basic safety point where she won't accidentally shoot you. Beyond that, with people down range, no one handles guns. No one. Want to load mags, fine, stay back off the bench. Actions open, weapons safe.
The real consideration on an uncontrolled range is being downrange and apart from your guns and vehicle when trouble shows up. I will not be completely empty on a range like that ever, usually take a slung long gun with me to post targets.

Safety rules are a good thing and abiding by them is an even better thing.
Did you know that there is a TEXAS State Rifle Association?

Not to get a rant started on the Four Rules (because there are die-hard NRA-trained types who don't like them) but you might start with those.
Then transition into, "If we both follow these rules, we can take turns changing targets and neither will have to worry about what the other is doing."
Believe it or not, it's easier to teach the Four Rules with the exceptions (again, there are those who believe there aren't any exceptions) -
Rule 1 - All guns are loaded Unless you have personally unloaded it for inspection or cleaning when you picked it up. As soon as you put it down, Rule 1 applies again.
Rule 2 - Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy Guns in cases, guns laying on tables, and guns with actions locked open are essentially inert and Rule 2 doesn't apply to them. Applies to any gun being held by someone with the action closed. Doesn't matter if you know it's unloaded. (See Rule 1)
Rule 3 - Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire Multiple shots at the same target are an obvious exception. However, if you are moving between targets (like IDPA), finger off the trigger while moving. Finger off the trigger while holstering.
Rule 4 - Be sure of your target and what is beyond An example of this concern is "ridge shots"...if you miss, what is the bullet going to hit? And, if you are into double-taps, practice at a range with a big backstop until you learn to control the second shot.
Just my two cents. These rules are simple enough that they are easily remembered. If they are followed, and not just given a "yeah, yeah more rules", they can save lives.
ETA - The comments after each rule listed above are mine, and paraphrase remarks I have read about the Four Rules in a variety of sources. IMO, the biggest problem with the Four Rules is understanding how to implement them. So, my comments are just plain language attempts to answer the question, "So what does that mean?".

Does'nt matter who does or does not go down range under generally accepted range rules... bolts out or bolts blocked with safety device OR everybody away from guns on line with nobody allowed to fool with any gun while shooters downrange.

We were at a range in AZ-very well known, and they have a red line behind the benches and a yellow line just in front. When it is CEASE FIRE and after all guns are INDIVIDUALLY checked for ammo by RSO, shooters may go downrange. DO NOT get caught in that area between red/yellow line while anyone downrange-man in tower will let you know on the PA!!
When someone sweeps you-tell em-DONT POINT THAT AT ME.
They will tell you it is not loaded. Tell THEM 69%(pick a number-a high one) of all those getting shot are shot w/ EMPTY guns.
From post #10 (dmazur-just above)
Rule 2 - Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy Guns in cases, guns laying on tables, and guns with actions locked open are essentially inert and Rule 2 doesn't apply to them. Applies to any gun being held by someone with the action closed. Doesn't matter if you know it's unloaded. (See Rule 1)
At the above range and many others a cased gun is treated just like an uncased gun. Harder to pull the trigger but still can be loaded.
I had the opportunity to shoot a 22BR match in NC. Their rang rules (for a match went like this)
1. Rifles were brought to the line and placed on a rack.
2. at some point the match director said "rifles on the benches". Rifles placed on the bench by the shooter, action open, of course.
3. Match was shot and at time end or whennall were finished-CEASE FIRE-check all rifles. Each shooter checked his own and the one on either side of his bench to make certain-unloaded/bolt open.
4. Remove rifles from bench back to rack.
5. Target person may go forward to retrieve/post targets.
Id guess this is a little excessive but it sure ELIMINATES the fiddling w/ guns that often occurs w/ someone downrange.
Id also bet no one has ever been shot there.
Perhaps that is SOP for matches. That is the only one I have ever shot in. Where I shoot we all check our own and coulpe benches that we can see on either side for safe conditions. We dont remove between cards.
Comments by regulars, please.

My rules for taking my wife shooting are simple. I know what I'm doing and she doesn't. This means that my rules are THE RULES. She does it my way or she doesn't go, unless she goes by herself. When I am present I am the king. Unless we are at a controlled range where someone else is the king. Even then I am the Prime Minister and I call all shots not called by the RSO
If we were ever out shooting and a situation like the one you describe occurred I'd pack up the guns and take her home. If she refuses to get in the car she can walk.
I've been married for 15 years.

Gun safety is everyone's responsilbity. Some just abide by them more...
Please know that I put on a lot of shoots. In all the years... I still have someone in the back handle their firearm. Even though I run a "cold" range (means that the gun is unloaded, no magazine in the gun, no round in chamber)... folks want to "show off" their guns to someone else, especially newer folks.
People forget. That is why I'm there and also the other Safety Officers with me.
I try to keep it simple. If there is someone in front of you... you got to know that you should not be handling any firearm (PERIOD).
It's the Golden Rule - if you don't want someone doing it behind you... don't do it behind someone else!
Plain and simple.

I certainly wouldn't have insisted she go with me after explaining hands off the firearms is the rule if anyone is in front of the firing line.

Empty Chamber Indecator
When I run a range or conduct a class the first thing I do is pass out ECIs (Empty chamber Indicator or Bolt Open Indicators.
They are put in the rifle and kept in the rifle until the shooter is in the act of shooting.
Any one can instantly look at a rifle and tell its safe. Add to that, all rifles are grounded and shooters step back from the firing line.
I even use the ECIs on my range when I'm the only one shooting.
Certainly cheap enough. They don't distract from the 4 basic rules, but just let others see the rifle is safe.

Mexican avocado exports to the U.S. set another record in 2011-12, shattering the previous record set in 2008-09 by 15%.
U.S. importers are divided on the effect it's had on markets — though timing, not the overall volume, could be the culprit in sluggish summer markets.
On July 3, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $27.25-29.25 for cartons of avocados 48s from Mexico, down from $54.25-55.25 last year at the same time. California 48s were $31.25-32.25, down from $54.25.
About 782 million pounds of Mexican avocados were shipped to the U.S. in the season, which ended June 30, 26% more than the 620 million pounds in 2010-11, said Mairim Martinez, a spokeswoman for APEAM, the organization representing avocado exporters from Michoacan.
Looking ahead to next season, the group expects another record, Martinez said. An estimated 826 million pounds will come to the U.S. in 2012-13, 6% more than in 2011-12.
Henry Avocado Corp., Escondido, Calif., had no trouble moving all that Mexican fruit this season, said Phil Henry, president.
"Movement has been good and demand has been good," he said July 5. "They've done a really good job on a weekly basis of matching shipments with demand."
Mexican volumes declined sharply this spring, just in time for California to take over the lion's share of the deal, Henry said.
But not all importers have been happy with late-season Mexican volumes. By late June, Bob Lucy, partner in Del Rey Avocado Co. Inc., Fallbrook, Calif., expected Mexico to be shipping 5 or 6 million pounds per week to the U.S. Instead, about 12.2 million pounds were shipped the week of June 25, and big volumes also were expected the week of July 2.
"There's way too much Mexican fruit still hanging on," Lucy said July 5. "Last week about 36 mllion pounds shipped (from all growing areas), which is about 6 million too much. It's been a real struggle."
That struggle could continue well into July, said Ron Araiza, director of sales for Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc.
"This is the first year I can remember the old (Mexican) crop going this late into the new season," Araiza said July 5. "The result is weaker prices on large fruit for this time of year."
Araiza said the problem was not so much the overall volume total for 2011-12 as the timing of arrivals from Mexico.
"There were times in March and April where the industry could have absorbed a little more," he said.
Lucy agreed. If Mexican growers could redo the 2011-12 season, he guesses they would have shipped more last winter and early spring.
"They're selling for $10 a box less than they were three months ago," he said.

NAPLES, Fla. — For the past several years, many grower-packer-shippers have suffered from audit fatigue, in extreme cases going through five food safety audits annually to satisfy separate customers.
But Reggie Brown said he believes the tomato industry is close to a cure — a single harmonized audit that will satisfy Florida requirements — and buyers, including quick-serve restaurants.
"This is an effort to create a harmonized standard audit system that could work for all commodities and would be the same for all commodities," said Brown, executive vice president of the Maitland-based Florida Tomato Exchange.
If all goes as hoped, he said the GlobalGAP Food Safety Audit for North America could be in place before the start of the Florida tomato season in October.
The lone hurdle is benchmarking the proposed audit against Global Food Safety Initiative standards, said Dave Gombas, senior vice president for food safety for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association.
The process involves comparing the two systems to ensure the proposal meets GFSI food safety minimum requirements.
In discussions with 24 large customers, Gombas said none opposed to the proposed harmonized audit.
He and Brown provided details at the 2012 Tomato Food Safety Workshop, Sept. 4, part of Florida's annual Joint Tomato Conference.
Under state legislation passed in September 2007, Florida tomato growers and packers must pass annual food safety audits by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspectors.
The audits are part of state-mandated tomato food safety programs, known as T-GAPs — tomato good agricultural practices × for growers and T-BMPs — tomato best management practices for packers.
Brown said the state's tomato food safety requirements were incorporated into the proposed harmonized audit standards.
"The audit is not very different than what you've been seeing under the tomato metrics," he said. "Fundamentally, the questions are all the same."
Some quick-serve restaurants — most notably Subway — require the audit be conducted by a U.S. Department of Agriculture-credentialed inspector, Brown said.
As a result, many state inspectors have obtained the necessary USDA authorizations.
Wal-Mart officials have indicated they will accept a harmonized audit if it meets GFSI standards, he said.
For the single audit plan to be implemented, Brown said Florida state ag inspectors would have to be trained and certified to meet GFSI requirements.
"We've been working with the state of Florida, and they're preparing themselves to be able to provide audits that will, to my knowledge, meet all of the demands of the customer base that are out there with a single audit," he said.
A new sliding fee structure will reflect various levels, Brown said, allowing grower and packers to choose based on customer requirements.
"It's been a long time coming and it will probably be a bit buggy for the first cycle of this process, but it's achievable," he said.
Wes Roan, food safety quality control manager for Immokalee, Fla.-based Lipman, praised the efforts.
"Everyone would love to have one audit, and I hope that can be a reality," Roan said.
But he said he had concerns whether some buyers would become picky about the entity conducting the audit.

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for ways to learn Thai. I currently don't have Thai people to practice talking, so besides learning material, I'd appreciate ideas on how to get more involved with the language. Thai Movies, thai tv series, literature, dhammatalks (obviously),.. i'm open to suggestions for how I could come in more contact with the language and learn it with joy. How do other westernes (ordained and laypeople) usually learn Thai? Language courses, thai language learning books?
Best wishes,

MALMESBURY were all set to play their first game in six weeks this weekend until the Hellenic League officials ruined their plans.
Having not taken to the field since January 11, mainly due to their Flying Monk pitch being underwater, Malmesbury bosses had agreed to switch tomorrow's scheduled home clash with Purton to the Red House side's home.
Despite both teams agreeing to the switch the league have now turned down the plan, forcing the game to be postponed and Vics boss Gareth Davies both perplexed and frustrated.
"It was all agreed between the two clubs and it was a done deal but then it was vetoed by the league which is frustrating," he said.
"We just want to play a game and I don't really understand why (the plan was rejected) because we were being proactive and doing all we could to try and play.
"It's just a big fat no. To be fair if it rains much more it wouldn't be on anyway even if it is switch but we will never know now.
"We're trying to get round a problem and this really isn't helping."
Having viewed his side's pitch in recent days and consulted the club's groundsman, Davies isn't expecting to be able to play a game on home soil until at least the middle of March.
"The pitch really isn't playable at all, although we can see grass again which is a bit of a bonus," he said.
"We could do with a decent frost to be honest to help get rid of the water and, having spoken to the groundsman, he reckons we are looking at three or maybe four weeks before we can play on it again.
"It's all very frustrating for us to be honest because all we want to do is be able to play a game of football."

From Janet Gongola, Patent Reform Coordinator: USPTO Publishes Final Rules and Guidance to Implement First-Inventor-to-File Provision
On February 14, 2013, the USPTO published final rules and guidance in the Federal Register implementing the first-inventor-to-file provision. This provision becomes effective on March 16, 2013.
- First-Inventor-to-File Final Rules (78 Fed. Reg. 11024, February 14, 2013)
- First-Inventor-to-File Final Guidance (78 Fed. Reg. 11059, February 14, 2013)
Publication of the first-inventor-to-file final rules and guidance concludes the agency's rulemaking for provisions that become effective in March 2013. It likewise concludes the agency's rulemaking for the America Invents Act.
To discuss the first-inventor-to-file final rules and guidance, the agency is hosting a public forum on Friday, March 8, 2013 in the Madison Auditorium on the USPTO's Alexandria campus. The forum will run from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time and will be webcast on the AIA micro-site. Instructions for viewing the webcast are forthcoming. In addition to the first-inventor-to-file final rules and guidance, the agency will address its new patent service fees and the micro entity discount, both of which go into effect on March 19, 2013. I encourage you to attend this forum, learn about the last provisions of the America Invents to be implemented, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Beginning next March Apple will require Apps sold through the Mac App store to be "Sandboxed". Sandboxing keeps the app in it's own space and restricts what it can do system wide. Apple does this on iOS to protect your phone from being hacked, taken over, etc… One side effect is that as far as things stand today you can't use plug-ins. Obviously for musicians using sequencers this would have serious implications. Before you get into a huff we will still be able to install and use unsandboxed Apps and plug-ins as long they are not sold on the Mac App store. Two things could happen here. First, Apple could eventually require Macs to use the Mac App store. Imagine having to Jailbreak your Mac? A more likely scenario will be a new type of plug-in architecture will be implemented that works in a way Apple likes. What do you think?
"In computer security, a sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs. It is often used to execute untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third-parties, suppliers, untrusted users and untrusted websites. The sandbox typically provides a tightly-controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as scratch space on disk and memory. Network access, the ability to inspect the host system or read from input devices are usually disallowed or heavily restricted. In this sense, sandboxes are a specific example of virtualization." – Wikipedia

Plano, Texas -- A Tuesday report by Reuters said that embattled J.C. Penney Co. has recently revived its previously abandoned pricing strategy of raising prices on its own brands then discounting them as a way to spike sales and margins.
Citing an emailed statement by Penney spokeswoman Daphne Avila, Reuters reported that the retailer began changing price tags on merchandise earlier in March and expects to complete the process in April.
"While our prices continue to represent a tremendous value every day, we now understand that customers are motivated by promotions and prefer to receive discounts through sales and coupons applied at the register," Avila wrote in the statement.
Penney's brands include St. John's Bay, jcp, Stafford and Arizona. The lineup of private labels is said to generate more than half of Penney's revenue.
In February, CEO Ron Johnson announced an impending pricing strategy change, but didn't provide details. He acknowledged that abandoning its long-time markdown and couponing practices was a mistake.
In other Penney news, VP strategic marketing Lisa DeStefano-Orebaugh has departed to take the VP marketing and brand management position for Home Depot. According to Bloomberg, DeStefano-Orebaugh hasn't yet started her new position with Home Depot.
Her departure marks the third high-profile marketing exit in less than a year. CMO Michael Francis resigned in June, and SVP creative marketing Greg Clark left in October to take the marketing helm at Jones Group.
