The Denver Post – Credit-card hitch at pump

The U.S. Open is supposed to be a tough, but fair test, but it is not being fair today.
But with scores soaring today and players unable to keep their approach shots on the green, it is not a fair test for the players.

Here is the Book: The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly
If you know where to look, you can see me.
RTD is struggling with a decision and are getting pushed both ways. Should the remaining lines to be decided be electric or diesel?
These would be for the FasTracks lines to Arvada, the rail line to Boulder and Longmont, the north corridor near I-25, and the line to Denver International Airport. Right now the line to Arvada and DIA would be electric with the other two being diesel.
The proponents of the electric line cite the lower costs in the long-run and reduced pollution compared to the diesel engines powering the trains. The diesel line proponents are highlighting the up-front cost savings, $142 million, if they go with diesel.
But is diesel cleaner than coal? Here are my thoughts: Continue reading
iTunes account required for iPhone setup – Engadget
I just want to know what the big deal is? iTunes has been required for all music and video management of iPod, unless you have hacked it.
To me this is not a big deal and most of the people who will be purchasing an iPhone will already have an iTunes account.
