UMM joins inaugural committee on renewable energy
Posted by Judy Riley on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2006
The University of Minnesota, Morris will join only 25 institutions nationwide in creating a national higher education steering committee on renewable energy. Lowell Rasmussen, UMM's associate vice chancellor for physical plant and master planning, has been invited to serve as a founding member of the Higher Education Steering Committee (HEC) of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE). Rasmussen has played a significant role within the University of Minnesota in initiating renewable energy projects and developing partnerships across the University that advance sustainable energy priorities.
"I am pleased that the University of Minnesota and the Morris campus are being recognized for their leadership in promoting renewable energy," said Rasmussen. "The missions of ACORE and UMM are very complimentary and will lead to even more progress to bring renewable energy into the classroom and the boardroom."
Members of the ACORE steering committee will "take a leading role in planning and carrying out the mission of the HEC and, by doing so, help move renewable energy into the mainstream of the American economy and lifestyle," said ACORE President Michael Eckhart in a letter to Rasmussen from ACORE.
The UMM campus has played a leadership role within the state of Minnesota in advancing sustainable, environmentally friendly initiatives since the original Earth Day. These efforts have grown to levels of national leadership and now touch nearly all aspects of campus life.
Wind power supplies up to 60 percent of UMM's electrical needs. A biomass gasification demonstration and research facility has undergone bids and is in the permitting stage at UMM. The biomass facility will use corn stalks from the region's farmers to provide 80 percent of the campus' heating and cooling needs.
UMM is a founding partner in the Pride of the Prairie Local Foods Initiative. Each semester UMM hosts a Pride of the Prairie Food Expo and Farmer's Market, featuring locally, organically and sustainably grown foods. Minnesota Grown Food Alliance certified foods are served regularly in the campus' dining facilities.
A gas/electric hybrid, the Toyota Prius, is the preferred vehicle driven by UMM students, staff and faculty. Water conservation and recycling makes "cents" across the campus. The U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have recognized UMM as a member of the Green Power Leadership Club.
UMM's vision is to be 100 percent energy self-sufficient by 2010.
In addition to UMM, other institutions that comprise the steering committee include Arizona State University, Cape Cod Community College, Carnegie Mellon University, College of the Atlantic, Colorado State University, Cornell University, Duke University, Emory University, Furman University, Juniata College, Middlebury College, Milwaukee Area Technical College, Mount Wachusett Community College, New York City of Technology-The City University of New York, Pitzer College, Saint Francis University-Carbondale, Texas Tech University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Florida, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, Washington State University and Western Illinois University.

"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"As usual I was able to find the perfect invite to complete my party theme. I ordered this card as an invite for my sons football themed 1st birthday party and I was extremely happy with the overall product.This was the only football card I could find where I could actually add a picture and I used a picture with my son holding a football to make up for the lack of football on the card. I really liked that I was able to add three photos to the back to share a little bit about his first year. The card quality, photo quality and customer service were excellent. I was very happy with the final product just a little disappointed that they don't have matching Thank You cards."
"We actually used it as a lacrosse birthday card -since no one has them anywhere. We used his lacrosse picture as the photo (why not they play on turf football fields) and it turned out great. Tiny Prints have always been good and very fast. Thanks Tiny Prints for making it much easier for me."
"strangely enough for this time of year, this was one of very few football-themed cards I could find. But it was perfect for our occasion and ended up inspiring the cake!"

Does anyone do helmet prep? Cutting out the T-visor and Key holes? I am really a novice at the dremmel so I would hate to jack my helmet up. Pm me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!!!!!

Does anyone do helmet prep? Cutting out the T-visor and Key holes? I am really a novice at the dremmel so I would hate to jack my helmet up. Pm me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!!!!!
What material is the helmet you have?
We all do... It's half the fun? :lol
Just take your time and take several small cuts and you'll be fine... :thumbsup
Just cut out the visor and keyslots on another bucket last night. Its a fun part of the process. Just put a cutting wheel on your dremel and go to town. Stay steady and go slow, take breaks if you need to. Oh, and wear a dust mask. Have fun
Do the keyslots first. It helps to maintain the structural integrity of the helmet if you work the small areas first.
I tend to not cut right up to the edge when I use a power cutter. Leave just a little bit, which you can then clean up with sanding and stuff. I find if I try to cut it right up close I almost always have a boo-boo and cut into something I shouldn't have. On the other hand, don't worry too much if you do. That's what auto putty and fine-grit sanding are for.
Find the right size drill bit that will match the size of the slots but don't go out of the lines. It's better to use a smaller drill bit at least you can always file the holes down. What I did was drill two small holes on each sides (left and right) of key slot. Then I dremel the top and bottom of each key slot from hole to hole. Punch out the cut-out part of the key slot and use jeweler's files to file down the sides (especially the drill holes) and the top part of the slot for a clean look.
Where do you get the jewlers files? And what grit sand paper should I use to clean up the seam lines and some blemishes?
Most larger hobby shops or hardware stores should carry sets of small files. I found a set of 8 or 10 in a little plastic pouch at Ace Hardware. It was around $12 or so.
For sanding, I usually start with a 'medium' grit; maybe 200, to remove more material, then work to a finer grit. Be careful when sanding. Work slowly so you don't remove too much material. It's easy to take it off, but harder to put it back on! ;)
I forget is the higher grit you go the finer the paper right? 400 is finer than 200. :)
I have a Hobby Town USA near here I might check out.
Ah helmet prep, my old adversary :lol I'll admit I HATE every bit of it, especially trimming the visor, my last Dremel died at the hands of my FPH and whilst trimming that thing I was so scared of slicing through a mandible it took me about a week, and the amount of resin dust I've washed out of my hair/eyes/clothes/nostrils but when you finish and your bucket is sat there all primered and ready to go theres no better feeling :thumbsup
I MIGHT CUT A MANDIBLE OFF :eek:eek:eek!!!!!! I AM REALLY FREAKED OUT NOW :cry:cry!!!!!
LOL :lol
Sorry couldn't resist. Your replies are giving me some confidence and momentum. And for that I say thanks....and if I mess up its all your faults ;).
Ok I accept full responsibility for any mistakes you make :lol
Oh wheww. Ok in that case where did I put that table saw? :confused
Now hang on just a minute :lol
Your right......AND my blow torch.
Well for what it's worth I just finished cutting out the visor in my Rubies Jango Deluxe (a.k.a. my first Bu'cye) and personally I did it with an exacto and a craft knife..honestly I didn't trust my hand to be steady enough to use the dremel...cmae out excellently though!
TK, just take your time while you're cutting.
And remember the safety glasses! If you can find a face mask it's highly recommended as well. Resin/fiberglass aren't friendly to your lungs.
SO I went to Hobbytown USA yesterday and picked up some jewlers files as well as: US med green, super fine brushes, and masking liquid. So I think I will start tonight on the key holes. Maybe I will turn this into a tutorial for prepping a helemt for us peeps who are scaret like me? ;)
before you get started on your helmet with your new dremel, if you're not sure of your hand, get some 1/8" plywood scraps. practice cutting on it. get the feel of how your dremel is going to pull, how much pressure you'll need to apply to keep it steady, practice cutting straight lines. then once you're comfortable with that, try drawing a large circle or some other shapes (square, triangle, star, etc.) and practice cutting along those lines. then get some grinding/sanding bits out and practice with them as well. i don't know from personal experience, but i assume that there aren't many feelings much worse than sitting down to cut the visor out of your beautiful new helmet and having your dremel kick-back and go skittering across the surface with that diamond cutting wheel .
Thanks I might try that. I am lucky enough to live very close to Darthmiller so I have a great mentor to help me along the way. I might try the drill multiple holes then conect the dots method that sounds like it might work.
Thanks as usual for everybodies insight!

UK Hoops Looks for Ninth Straight Victory Friday vs. UC Santa Barbara
Dec. 20, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 7/6 Kentucky women's basketball team concludes its two-game road swing in southern California when it meets UC Santa Barbara on Friday, Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. PST/6 p.m. EST. The Wildcats, who defeated Pepperdine on Tuesday 80-62, are riding an eight-game winning streak which ties the eighth-longest streak in school history and currently is the nation's seventh longest.
|Kentucky at UC Santa Barbara
Fri., Dec. 21 - 6:00 p.m. ET
Santa Barbara, Calif.

The game can be heard live on the UK IMG Sports Radio Network with Neil Price calling the action. There also will be a free video stream on www.BigWest.org/TV. Fans can follow the UK Hoops team on Twitter at @UKHoopCats and use #UKHoops to comment on the game.
California native DeNesha Stallworth had an impressive outing in front of her friends and family on Tuesday as she scored a season-high tying 17 points, including 13 in the second half. She also charted two blocks and two steals in the win. Sophomore Bria Goss (Indianapolis) followed with a season-high 16 points and four steals, while senior guard A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.) and junior forward Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio) followed with 13 and 10 points, respectively.
The trip has given California natives Brittany Henderson and DeNesha Stallworth the opportunity to play in their home state. Henderson, a senior forward, hails from Pasadena, Calif., while Stallworth, a junior transfer from Cal, is a native of Richmond, Calif. Henderson played her prep career at John Muir High School, while Stallworth played at Pinole Valley. Stallworth went on to play two seasons at California before transferring to Kentucky last season.
"Each year we like to give our players an experience and see a part of the country that they don't normally see or sometimes people take trips to different locations during Thanksgiving for tournaments," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "Our thinking was to give our kids a great experience and also at the same time get Brittany Henderson and DeNesha Stallworth back to California. It's tough on their family and friends to get to watch them. We are real fortunate that most of our players are pretty close to or at least on the east coast where they can get into Lexington pretty easily. Just to get them out there and give them that experience in playing in front of family and friends is important."
Overall, UK ranks seventh in the nation in scoring margin, outscoring its opponent by +25.4 points per game. Eight of UK's nine wins have been by 18 points or more. UK also ranks third nationally in turnover margin (10.6) as the Wildcats are forcing 27.1 turnovers per game, while committing just 16.5.
Mathies, the reigning Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and All-America candidate, leads the team in scoring (13.0 ppg), assists (2.5 apg) and 3-pointers made per game (1.7). She currently ranks fourth on UK's all-time steals list with 272 and is sixth on the all-time scoring list with 1,565 points. Mathies is one of only four players in UK history to accumulate over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 200 steals in her career.
Dominating the inside game is the dynamic post duo of Stallworth and Walker who average 11.9 and 9.0 points per game, respectively. Walker tops the team in rebounding with 7.6 rpg, while Stallworth averages 5.1 rpg and a team-high 1.7 blocks per game. Goss also averages 9.0 ppg.
UCSB enters Friday's game with a 4-6 overall record after falling at BYU on Tuesday, 67-39. Prior to that game, the Gauchos were coming off of their first consecutive wins of the season at Loyola Marymount (Dec. 5) and Washington (Dec. 15), respectively.
Overall, senior forward Sweets Underwood leads the Gauchos with 11.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Junior guard Nicole Nesbit follows with 9.5 points per game, while leading the team in steals (1.4).
UK is 2-0 all-time vs. UC Santa Barbara with wins in 2008 (69-58 in Lexington) and 2009 (68-54 in Santa Barbara, Calif.)

Making the most of her holiday break, Sofia Vergara sunned herself in South Beach, Miami and gave her fans a little pre-New Year's treat yesterday (December 27).
The "Modern Family" starlet posted a super-hot photo of herself in a black-and-white cut-out bathing suit to her WhoSay account, setting the internet abuzz.
Along with her steamy image, Sofia included the caption, "Holyday!" instantly making all men even more envious of her fiancé Nick Loeb.
In career news, Sofia will be starring along with Sharon Stone, Liev Schreiber, Woody Allen, and John Turturro in "Fading Gigolo."

In a world in which bankers and billionaires are blamed for making money by ripping off the public, it is unfortunate that honest, decent, fun-loving billionaires like Silvio Berlusconi are subjected to unfair attacks in the media. Of course, we refer to the few media outlets in Italy that he does not own. Prime Minister Berlusconi is a gorgeous man in his seventies who when walking down the street causes every female under forty to gaze in wonder at his butt or his head or something that every billionaire projects. OK, so there were dozens of gorgeous young girls at his parties. His enemies claim they claim because they were paid and wanted to enjoy the largesse of a billionaire. Silvio claims he is being subjected to unfair attacks because any fair minded person knows a gorgeous girl on seeing him enter the room just swoons in love and admiration for the man with the golden touch.
Patrizia D'Addario, who her friends hint is a lady of the night and received about a thousand dollars to attend a Berlusconi party wants to make clear the money had nothing to do with being at the party, she just wanted to soak in the masculinity and viagra power of the billionaire with the golden touch. Shame on the media for attacking a defenseless billionaire who only owns some media outlets in Italy, but does not control the world media.
It is time for the International Criminal Court to take up the unfair attacks on the innocent man with eyes only for beautiful gals. Should we condemn a man who enjoys the company of young beautiful women? After all, he just wants to be a big daddy to those with big busts.

Was I Too Harsh?
I've been casually dating a guy for 2 months. Everything was going well. We were getting to know each other and having a good time. He introduced me to his friends and family and said they all loved me! We had a date scheduled for a Friday night. The week before, he tells me that he likes me and wants to continuing seeing me. The night before the date he texts me saying he's looking forward to seeing me. Date night comes and about 15 mins before he is supposed to pick me up he texts me saying he is going to have to rain check our date because he has a flat tire. I was so upset and angry. I texted " Oh ok" and went out with a girlfriend. But first, I deleted and blocked him on facebook. At the end of the night, around 11:30pm, he texts saying he's sorry for cancelling and told me to let him know when he could make it up to me. I never wrote back, never heard from him again, and never contacted him again. What went wrong? I don't believe he had a flat tire. Should I have contacted him a few days later? Can you please explain this situation. Why would he blow me off like that? Was I a little too harsh deleting him and blocking him on facebook?
Dear Too Harsh:
First off, I do not believe it was a flat tire either. I think it was a case of a "better offer" which by 11:30pm turned out not to be a better offer and so he tried to do damage control. As for blocking him on Facebook immediately, yes that was rather quick and harsh, but I think your instinct was correct. The fact that he never contacted you again, asking/pleading for another chance, means he was not that interested and not worth the effort. Don't waste any more time on this. His behavior illustrates that he was not worthy of your attention or love. I commend you on your quick decision to go out with a girlfriend and make the most of your evening. Most women would have sat at home, texting and calling him to see if he got the tire fixed, if he might be able to meet later, etc... which is a recipe for disappointment, because as I said earlier, there was no "flat tire". He gets an "D-" for creative excuses. You are intuitive, smart and strong. You don't need my advice, just move on!

It is now November, and with Thanksgiving break around the corner, it is important to know how to prepare for finals, which will quickly sneak up on you by the time you get back from break. Whether you have one final or five, it is important that you prepare well ahead of time and are mindful in your habits. It has taken me some time and experience, but I have finally figured out a plan when preparing for finals. Here are ten tips that I believe will help you when it comes to preparing for your finals:

What Penalty For Sexism in Sport?
Anyone living in Britain at the moment would have to be hiding under a rock to have missed the current Sky news sexism row. It hasn't quite got its own '-gate' suffix yet but it's surely only a matter of time, as what started as a few off-the-cuff comments has snowballed into a national debate.
Sky Sports presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray were commentating on a football (soccer) match last Saturday, when, believing their microphones to be switched off, they made sexist remarks about the female referee, Sian Massey. The game hadn't even started when they were already criticising her ability to do her job, complaining that women "don't know the offside rule" and that "the game's gone mad." They …

Fusion Energy Sciences (FES)
The FES program mission is to expand the fundamental understanding of matter at very high temperatures and densities and to build the scientific foundation needed to develop a fusion energy source. This is accomplished by studying plasma and its interactions with its surroundings across wide ranges of temperature and density, developing advanced diagnostics to make detailed measurements of its properties and dynamics, and creating theoretical and computational models to resolve essential physics principles.
The physics of plasmas is at the heart of understanding how stars shine and evolve over billions of years. Plasmas, essentially hot gases of ions and electrons, are found in environments as familiar as fluorescent lighting and lightning bolts, as unimaginably harsh as the centers of stars, and as exotic as the environments surrounding super massive black holes. The science of plasma physics that describes the plasmas in these environments also describes the auroras that gently illuminate the northern and southern skies and the solar corona, where temperatures are far higher than on the sun's surface. At the scale of the very small, plasma physics and materials science combine to enable the exquisitely precise manufacture of semiconductors. Plasma science is also at the heart of advances in efficiencies in the lighting industry.

Small ski area, big results
KATHLEEN BAGLIO HUMPHREYS | February 27. 2014 10:02PM
It consists of three trails, two surface lifts, snow-making, lights and a cozy lodge. Despite its size, dozens of teams and even U.S. Ski Team members use it as a training venue for alpine, Nordic and ski jumping.
"We are the only high school in the country to own and operate a private FIS homologated course," said David Salathe, Alpine Program director.
Recently the course was extended to meet the qualifications of a men's FIS homologation. Luckily for Proctor, one of their Eastern Ski Coaches, Sandy Eneguess, had the expertise to run the equipment and the expansion.
Next year's plans are to expand the Nordic track.
Significant improvements in recent years include a state-of-the-art environmentally conscious snowmaking system with high-efficiency snow guns which reduced the ski area's carbon footprint by 90 percent. The installation of lights made Proctor Ski Area the only FIS night course in the country.
Buck Hill, which is smaller than Proctor, was home to ski champion Lindsey Vonn and other professional racers. Last Sunday, Proctor Academy's Crowley Gentile was named the top U16 boy's racer. He will compete with four other Proctor athletes at the Eastern Regional Championships at Lake Placid March 5-10.
"It's the small ski areas that are a laboratory environment where you can focus on fundamentals and not be distracted by the public," Salathe said. "It's a pure venue for perfecting your craft and in essence it's not the size that matters, it comes down to the heart and soul of what it is producing,"
Proctor Ski Area has a certified ski patrol and two groomers, plus a fully functioning lodge that has a neat deck that uses old skis as a railing.
Slopeside runs every Friday during the ski season. Kathleen Humphreys can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Arsène Wenger believes people forget Aaron Ramsey's youth all too easily.
Ramsey has been an integral part of Arsenal's first team so far this season, starting more Premier League matches than any other outfield player in the squad.
The Wales captain only made his return from a double leg fracture last March and Wenger believes he deserves more credit for his development and maturity.
"I brought him in because of his quality," said the Frenchman. "What we want is to have the best players.
"What I think people forget about Ramsey is it is his first full season really. For me, he is growing month to month and people are a bit impatient with him.
"I am very happy with what he is delivering and if Wilshere comes back they can play together."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The Following Investment Opinion Initially Appeared in the February 17th Evening News
Onsale and the Future
of E-Commerce
By Louis Corrigan (TMF Seymor)
I suggested last week that it might not be so crazy to open a website that sold a dollar for 90 cents. Yes, you lose money on every transaction, but with enough alternative revenue streams -- particularly advertising -- you perhaps could make up the difference on volume. That's the extreme case, and we're a long way from it. Still, my thinking about the future of online retailing has undergone a sea change in the last few weeks, and, to be honest, I'm surprised by my conclusions.
I now think it's likely that companies like Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) really are at the center of a tectonic shift in the nature of retailing to consumers, a shift that the market hasn't fully discounted. Initially, this shift will pressure every retailer of commodity-like hard goods, but it should ultimately extend into other areas, like financial services, which are already being transformed by the Web. Perhaps most important, it's a shift that should ultimately lead to less competition at the retailer-intermediary stage, not more. That's because only a few companies will be able to survive the bruising price wars that are coming, and these companies will emerge as absolute giants. Getting from here to there, though, could be incredibly painful for investors who aren't watching the road ahead.
Anyone who wants to understand the future of e-commerce must think hard about what's happening at Onsale (Nasdaq: ONSL). Until recently, Onsale was known mainly for AtAuction, a leading e-commerce site that auctions closeout and refurbished computer items, sporting goods, consumer electronics products, and even some vacation packages. FY98 sales were $208 million ($234 million, including items sold on a commission basis) compared to $610 million for Amazon. Over the last two years, though, Onsale's CEO Jerry Kaplan has been running a kind of ongoing experiment in what works (and doesn't work) when it comes to e-commerce. Kaplan is a smart guy who has shown a willingness to tweak Onsale's business model as needed. Given that Onsale has drawn a million registered bidders and now attracts 150,000 unique visitors a day, Kaplan has a lot of empirical evidence to help him figure out what will work. His conclusion: Everyday low prices, or, as he calls it, "verifiable fair pricing."
Onsale found it was getting only 5% to 10% of its customers' capital expenditures, partly because the company's auction model frequently left it supply constrained since it didn't have access to newly introduced products. Onsale was doing a great job of attracting customers to its site, and at a very low cost thanks to the sophisticated way it tracks leads from advertising (down to the penny, Kaplan says). Yet, Onsale wasn't getting anywhere near maximum value out of these customers. Second, Kaplan found that one thing standing in the way of an online customer's purchase decision is the feeling that there might be a slightly better deal just a click away. As Kaplan said in last week's illuminating conference call (from which the following quotes are pulled), a customer's "confidence in getting a good deal is a critical element in the purchase decision."
Kaplan and his team examined these data in light of the fact that distributors "are now willing to support electronic retailers by sourcing, handling, and shipping the goods on their behalf while giving them very favorable prices on the goods themselves." From these inputs, Kaplan said, "We developed a new viewpoint as to where electronic retailing was likely to head." Here's his explanation.
"By linking up with full line distributors, we now have the opportunity to offer our customers a broad supply of products while eliminating any inventory risks, eliminating the capital requirements to buy the goods, and eliminating all the logistics and operating costs associated with handling those goods. So the logical implication of this, to us, is that electronic commerce is going to evolve into more of a service business rather than a product business. By this, I mean that Internet merchants can essentially become marketing, order-taking, customer service enterprises, while delegating purchasing and the inventory and operations to those other partners.
"We believe that the opportunity now exists to do for electronic commerce what the discount online brokerage houses have done for stock trading. They charge a small, limited fixed fee for the service, rather than taking a significant percentage of the sales. We can change the normal retail model -- of buying goods, marking them up and selling them at a profit -- into a fee-for-service retailing model on the Internet. And that's the way we think things are going to go.
"Now, the economics for this new online retail model are very different and quite compelling. Because of the incredibly small incremental cost to process and order online, the whole thing really becomes a volume game. You don't have any capital expenditures required to scale this up. So it's simply a matter of attracting as many customers as possible and in earning a fee each time one of them places an order."
While this model has been entertained in whole or in part by other companies, Onsale may be the first major etailer to approach it straight on after trying other models. The result is AtCost. This site was launched January 19 and is initially selling a broad line of 31,000 new computer products through a partnership with Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD), a distributor with $11.5 billion in annual sales. Onsale is also talking to other distributors, with consumer electronics being a likely area for expansion. The way AtCost works is that customers pay Onsale a product's wholesale cost plus some charges:
-- a transaction fee (minimum of $5 per order; maximum of $10 per item ordered)
-- a credit card payment processing fee of 2.4% of the purchase price
-- shipping charges
-- taxes, if applicable
Kaplan said that a survey conducted by the Washington Post found that on a basket of items, AtCost charged 12% to 17% less than a local CompUSA (NYSE: CPU) store. He said another study by Montgomery Securities found AtCost beat a local Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) on price by 8% to 10%. While some online retailers already undercut AtCost on certain items, Onsale now seems to be at or near the top on price comparison lists. And customers apparently love the discounts. After just three weeks, AtCost accounted for 22% of Onsale's overall revenues. Despite some expected cannibalization of its AtAuction business, AtCost's ticket prices are averaging more than 50% higher than Onsale's traditional orders.
The AtCost model reshapes the income statement. For instance, stuff that would normally appear on the expense line (logistics, handling, and purchasing) has been moved up into the gross margin line. Those expenses are built into the wholesale price because the distributor is now performing those tasks. Also, Onsale should benefit from more co-opt or market development funds from vendors paying Onsale for product placement or special promotions. This revenue offsets marketing expenses, so it will show up in a benefit to selling, general, and administrative expenses.
While the transaction fee will be a major source of profits, Onsale also stands to make some money from the shipping charges, thanks to volume-related discounts, and from suppliers, due to volume-related rebates. There also should be substantial growth in the "commissions and other income" line since ad revenues should increase as Onsale becomes even more of a destination for online shopping. Already, only 12% of Onsale's business comes from links to other sites, which jibes with the fact that 77% of sales come from repeat customers. Kaplan claimed that Onsale is already getting a solid $20 per CPM for banner ads and that "there's been real demand from several tens of advertisers at this point and many renewals."
He also spoke eloquently about how AtCost will change the nature of retailing by "aligning the interests of the customer and the retailer because it's in our interest to negotiate the lowest possible prices for the goods on behalf of our customers in order to drive the transaction volume." Ultimately, he hopes to offer such a compelling value proposition that Onsale becomes "a kind of Costco (Nasdaq: COST) on the Web," where customers pay a membership fee to buy items nearly at cost. Taken "as a whole," Onsale's pricing package for AtAuction should be "equivalent to high single-digit gross margins," Kaplan said. That reportedly means about 9% gross margins, or as Kaplan said on CNBC when AtCost first launched, "somewhere in the 3% or 4% range for an operating net."
Tomorrow, I'll elaborate on what I think AtAuction means for the future of e-commerce, and specifically, what it means for Amazon. But here are some raw numbers to think about.
Gross margins (%) Borders (trailing 12 months) 27.07% Amazon (FY98) 21.94% CDNow (FY98) 19.76% Best Buy (trailing 12 months) 17.61% CompUSA (FY98) 14.10% CDW Computers (trailing 12 months) 12.82% Creative Computers (FY98, excluding charge) 11.25% Onsale (FY98) 10.59%

Marriage means loving your spouse through sickness and health. Olga and Erik Martinez can also say they have loved each other through class presentations and group projects. The couple graduated together on May 12 from the University of St. Thomas, each with a Master of Science in Accounting.
Erik, a graduate of Texas A&M University, and Olga, a graduate of the University of Houston, both had full-time jobs while working to achieve their master's degrees and raising their 10-month-old son, Nicholas.
"I started classes in January 2009, and Erik started in January 2010," Olga said. "After I had the baby, I slowed down my classes and he caught up with me. We decided to graduate together and it was a huge accomplishment and a great memory we'll have forever."
Erik, to speed up his graduation date, took 12 hours in his final semester, kept his full-time job and welcomed the challenge of becoming a father.
"Prioritizing, time management, taking care of school work, maintaining high levels at my job and making my wife happy was a real challenge," Erik said. "It was a full-time job in and of itself. To balance all these activities at one time and excel is very challenging, but it is doable."
Married for almost five years, the Martinezes were able to take 12 hours of classes together. Olga enjoyed having Erik in her classes as someone to lean on and work with.
"I would choose him to be in my group because we could meet at home," Olga said. "Our schedules were the same, so I think it was a great benefit. If I missed some notes or didn't understand, he was a classmate I had with me all the time."
Through his classes, Erik gained valuable experience in giving presentations to business leaders and students. Currently, Erik is a financial analysis manager at Lufkin Industries. He attributes his developed skills to Dr. John Simms, assistant professor of accounting in the Cameron School of Business, which boasts business accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
"Working hand-in-hand with Dr. Simms was really important," Erik said. "It allowed me to grow in my research and presentation skills. It opened up my future to become a certified public accountant."
Because of her new degree Olga was recently promoted to a corporate intercompany accountant at National Oilwell Varco. A native of Russia, Olga had a unique class experience because she had to endure the early part of her pregnancy while on campus. After Nicholas was born, it was difficult to sacrifice time with her new son.
"I didn't want to leave my newborn alone for a minute," Olga said. "Our parents were extremely helpful with watching Nicholas while we were at work during the day and at UST during the evenings. As a mother myself, taking classes and working made me be more serious and concentrate. I had to think about my future because now it wasn't just me and my husband."
Erik also kept his thoughts focused on his goal of graduating and creating a happy life for his wife and child.
"Being a father was motivation to try to better my son's future as well as mine," Erik said. "It was very exciting. We're glad we finished, and we're on to the next chapter in our lives."

For those with Bedfordshire ancestors this is the society for you !
The society offers meetings for those who live in or close to the county, a regular journal and publications such as early wills transcripts and poor law papers. Research in this county is helped by the fact that all the pre 1812 parish registers have been transcribed, indexed and published. The Bedfordshire Family History Society sells these transcription in fiche form, but have now started publishing the transcripts in CD format, each CD will contain one parish with transcripts, MI's, photos and other information.
