| Digital River's Jim Wehmann: Building a Better E-Commerce Site
"The measure of a site is how long are consumers staying there, and are they buying and doing the things that we want them to do?" said Digital River's Jim Wehmann.

The case against traffic lights
How much extra cost will the health system sustain because of accidents? Who has right of way? Tell that to drivers who insist that they own the road. Whilst they may be expensive and are not a pretty sight, they do save lives. I would suggest that we study history as to why they were introduced. For safety and traffic control.In those day the volume was zulch in comparison with todays traffic. I looked at the calender when I read the report, today is not April 1st.

What Is Doppler Radar?
That means when severe weather or a tornado starts to form, the Doppler Radar will detect the storms' patterns. The StormTracker7 Live Doppler Radar Network provides the additional ability to look at a storm from multiple angles. That gives the clearest picture of what is happening inside a developing storm. KLTV meteorologists are trained to read and analyze Doppler data and pass the information on to you. They can pinpoint the most severe storms, tell you what they are doing and where they are headed. Often, KLTV is able to inform you of threatening weather even before an official warning is issued. One of the reasons KLTVmeteorologists are so precise is that KLTV owns two real-time Doppler Radars and uses them in conjunction with the National Weather Service's Doppler radars in Dallas and Shreveport.
