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.

A Neolib New Deal?:

2) Medical technology will offer more and more complex and costly ways to treat illness. Some of these treatments will work. We want to offer them to everyone, with a minimum of rationing--again, in a system that most of the affluent will also sign up for. The alternative seems to be a system in which the upper middle class lives (because they can afford fancy treatments) and the working poor die. Avoiding this will be expensive.

3) We will still want to encourage future medical research and technological advance--or at least we want to retard it as little as possible. That's why I'm skeptical of some plans for realizing huge cost savings. For example, the government could undoubtedly use its monopsony power to lower the price it pays for drugs--maybe lower the price to something approaching the marginal cost of producing additional pills.

Salazar stumps for Greeley for cheese plant

U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar on Friday urged cheese manufacturer Leprino Foods Co. to open a second Colorado plant, preferably in Greeley.

Salazar, D-Colo., released a letter he sent Thursday to company CEO James Leprino recounting a visit to the Fort Morgan plant in August.

The CEO told Salazar he was considering a second plant, "perhaps in the Greeley area," according to the letter.

"An additional Leprino plant in the Greeley area would be a welcome and important addition to the Northern Colorado economy," Salazar wrote. "It is my strong hope that you will ultimately decide to locate your plant in Greeley."

Privately held Leprino Foods ranks as the largest producer of mozzarella cheese in the world. The company's headquarters is in Denver.
