UnNews:Joe Biden has too many hats

Joe Biden has too many hats
Straight talk, from straight faces

"It's really starting to worry me," the senator's wife Jill Biden confessed to us in a strictly off-the-record conversation at the Senator's home. Ms. Biden wasn't aware of our journalistic ethics [or lack thereof] at the time of our interview, thinking her innocuous replies to "How's the Weather?" and "Does Senator Biden wear boxers or briefs?" would compose the majority of this article.
Senator Biden's hat collection contains, at last count, 8,384 assorted hats spanning 241 countries of origin. Senator Biden owns 170 beanies, Dr. Seuss's personal cat hat, 40 berets, 42 nightcaps, 55 fedoras, 17 ski masks, 424 helmets, nine hijabs and four niqabs, and 634 baseball hats among countless others. At his Delaware home, there is not an inch of wall, closet, or floor space that is not covered by a hat of some shape or form. The Biden family's cat recently choked to death on a yarmulke.
Some point to these facts as proof of Senator Biden cracking under the stress of his out-of-control hat addiction. Although he has purportedly gone to support groups, infrared cameras at the Biden home recently captured footage of the Vice Presidential candidate trying to stuff a beanie down his garbage disposal, then suddenly pulling it out and smelling it furiously. Also, freelance photographers recently captured photos of Biden in what appeared to be a normal sombrero at a local taco grill, but digital imaging by TMZ proved that there was a traditional African kufi underneath, and a baseball cat under that. Apologies. Baseball cap. Our copy editor has been fired.
At a recent press conference, errant news correspondent and day time hooker Sara Thompson asked Senator Biden to either confirm or deny rumors that he suffered from an unhealthy fixation with hats. A furious Biden grasped his podium as he angrily pointed at her and denied the charge, the brim of his comically gargantuan bowler cap repeatedly jabbing her in the forehead. Thompson protested that he was poking her forehead with his hat, but the senator was too furious to desist. Eventually, a wounded Thompson limped away, the victim of a severely poked cranium.
On another occasion in Washington state, Senator Biden visited a boy scout troupe and distributed "Obama/Biden '08" hats to each young man in attendance. Within a few minutes, his hands began to shake uncontrollably, and suddenly, with a primal scream, he snatched the hats back off all their heads and went sprinting into the woods. He was found several days later naked in a large pile of baseball caps, tossing them into the air and letting them fall all over himself.
There are no indications yet that Biden's bizarre and inexplicable fixation with hats will affect Barack Obama's chances to win the Presidency this fall. The Pope has yet to comment if this follower's actions could create an anti-hat stance in the Catholic Catechism.

My friend Bernie is just back from a few months living in Chiang Mai in Thailand and brought back these elephant pictures from the Mae Tang Elephant Park that he visited while he was there. The elephant below is painting a T-shirt which will then be sold to raise money for the park.
You'll find many different elephant parks in northern Thailand and around Chiang Mai. The elephants once worked in the forest to move logs, but since the logging trade was banned in 1988 you can see them by visiting one of these centres where they work with their mahouts to put on a performance for you.
There are around 80 elephants at this particular camp, 50 of which are owned by the camp and the rest are brought in by the mahoots who own them, whenever they cannot find work and so cannot afford to feed the elephants. At night the elephants are taken up into the forest, which is their natural habitat to rest and sleep. The camp supports 300 local people in direct employment and an estimated 1000 indirectly rely on the income from visitors.
The MaeTang Elephant Park is 45 minutes out of Chiang Mai towards Chiang Dao and the owners are in the process of setting up an elephant clinic to provide veterinary care for the elephants. At Mae Taeng they take a "soft" approach to elephant training and the mahouts who are sent to nearby Lampang to be trained to look after the elephants, some of which are fourth generation born in captivity.
There are different views as to whether it is the right way to treat the elephants to keep them in captivity and perform for tourists, but elephants have always worked in this area and by establishing the elephant clinic at Mae Taeng, they will enhance the veterinary care of the elephants. Elephants can have health problems, such as constipation, caused by eating too many banana branches and insect infestation under their skin which has to be checked for daily.
By having the clinic on the premises, they will avoid sometimes having to drive a sick animal to Lampang to see the vet, not ideal with such a huge animal and also stressful for the elephant.This elephant clinic will invite visiting vets from all over the world, who want to get experience treating elephants, to come to stay and will be equipped with a convalescing and nursery area as well as the natural and conventional medicines to treat the elephants. The clinic will also provide free veterinary care to all elephants in the MaeTang area, not just those at the park.
Elephant camps are an important part of the tourism industry in Thailand and provide local employment for those who would have formerly been employed in logging, so enjoy your encounter with these gentle giants but make sure you choose an elephant centre that has high standards of animal welfare.

Baseball needs exuberance - and team error, tooMay 13, 2014 Updated: May 13, 2014 11:48pm
Baseball resists the notion of change, often progressing with the grace and efficiency of a leaky faucet. It does happen, though. As we speak, the game lurches through a radical new world of instant replay and safety around home plate.

Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now nearly 4 times the size of...
So why stop now? This is the perfect time to address a couple of old-school tenets that have damaged the game's credibility for years: unfair scorekeeping and the crackdown on exuberance.
Before acknowledging the value of a team error stat and its all-around benefit to the record books, consider an incident that occurred last month between the Pirates and Brewers. Carlos Gomez, whose electrifying talent has illuminated the sport all season, hit a shot to deep center field and paused to admire his handiwork. He was certain the ball was gone, except it wasn't, and when the ball took a crazy hop off the wall, Gomez had to settle for a triple instead of - for a man of his speed - an inside-the-park homer.
The pitcher, Gerrit Cole, took a few steps toward Gomez and belittled his showmanship. Angry words were exchanged, leading to a brawl that found Travis Snider, Cole's teammate, taking a solid punch to the face from Martin Maldonado. Maybe Gomez should have played it cool, ignoring the pitcher's outrage, but after the game, a contrite Cole rightfully blamed himself for triggering the fight.
More recently, at Dodger Stadium, the Giants' Madison Bumgarner took offense when Yasiel Puig flipped his bat and paused to watch his prodigious home run take flight. Bumgarner let Puig know that stuff isn't cool, and although no punches were thrown, traditional thinking suggested Bumgarner might seek retaliation down the line.
There's no stifling the type of mind-set that Bumgarner, Matt Cain and countless other pitchers take to the mound. They've got a nasty little mean streak, a big part of their competitive drive, and I'm sure Bruce Bochy, Dave Righetti and the rest of the Giants wouldn't want them to change a thing.
It was interesting, though, to hear Tim Hudson say that if he unleashed a drive like the one Puig hit off him two days later, "I probably would have flipped (the bat), too."
I'd like to think that among future generations of pitchers, that type of reaction will be more common. We see it everywhere else. Football, basketball and soccer players celebrate great performances with primal screams and wildly self-congratulatory gestures; why is that such a criminal offense in baseball?
The game endured a disheartening loss this week when Jose Fernandez, the Miami Marlins' fabulous young pitcher, learned he will probably need Tommy John surgery. Aside from his astonishing talent, Fernandez plays with compelling flair. As a rookie, he took things a bit too far (once spitting at the feet of an infielder while completing a home run trot) - but he's learning.
On Opening Night, when Carlos Gonzalez lingered at the plate to witness the majestic path of his home run off Fernandez, the two men locked eyes. Fernandez cracked a smile, and it was returned. Later, they yelled good-natured barbs at each other.
"He's a good kid," Gonzalez said. "He has passion for the game and he shows it. When he gets you out, he lets you know. Why not do the same thing when you get him?"
Fernandez, like Puig, hails from a culture in which baseball represents a delightful departure from day-to-day life. Ballgames in Cuba are a canvas for unbridled self-expression, appreciated by all. Trouble starts if a pitcher throws at someone's head, or a verbal exchange gets a bit too personal, but for someone to flip his bat and enjoy the sight of his massive blast sailing deep into the sky - that's nothing.
"We don't always hit home runs," Puig told reporters this season. "When a moment like that comes and we enjoy it, we don't intend to offend the pitcher. We're expressing the emotions that are inside of us." As Fernandez told Sports Illustrated, "Baseball in Cuba is a lot different, a lot more passion. At the end of the day, it's a game, and you're supposed to have fun, right?"
More fun. Less nonsense. A glimpse into the future. That's where the game is headed - far too slowly, as usual.
Meanwhile, there was a terrific moment in scorekeeping Friday when Texas' Yu Darvish took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against Boston. David Ortiz hit a popup to shallow right field, but the ball fell in safely amid confusion between the right fielder and the second baseman.
The official scorer, perhaps swayed by the gravity of the moment, ruled it an error and was immediately chastised by critics around the country - all of whom were dead wrong. That was an error, and always has been, despite thousands of mindless scoring decisions to the contrary.
Think about what goes into any routine popup or flyball: The pitcher did his job. The hitter failed miserably. Now the ball gets misplayed and falls untouched between two (or even three) defenders. How is that a hit? Because "nobody touched it" (the long-standing, unwritten rule)? What is this, kindergarten?
If you can't pin the mistake on any one player, that's a team error. Solves every problem. The hitter gets no credit and the pitcher's ERA is protected. The rule book actually allows for an error to be called if a circumstance of "ordinary effort" is botched, which made the call behind Darvish absolutely correct - but regrettably rare.
Two outfielders get their signals crossed because one of them lost the ball in the lights, or the sun? Sorry, not the pitcher's fault. Not a hit. Could easily be "ordinary effort" for others. Team error. I need hurricane-like winds before I let the elements turn a pitcher's good work into a hit.
I'd even rule team error on occasions when a single defender is involved. Say you're Hunter Pence, trying to throw someone out at third, and you unleash a Roberto Clemente-like rocket on the fly, perfect in every way - but it glances off the shoulder of the sliding runner and skips crazily away, scoring a run.
That's an error? Exactly what did Pence do wrong? Somehow, the run must be accounted for, so ... team error.
Left in improper hands, official scorers dealing out this new treat like Snickers on Halloween, the team error concept could be dreadfully abused. But let's find out. It's not such a radical notion, for it makes too much sense. All of a sudden, the tales of a box score would more accurately reflect what actually happened.

It's still WLTW/Lite FM looking down at the other radio stations. While the January Arbitron ratings show Clear Channel's Lite FM keeping its number one position, the station did lose some of its gusto from the Christmas survey.
Lite FM scored a 6.8, although not as impressive as the 12.3 during the holiday period.
WCBS-FM, kept at arm's length, registered a 5.2 (up from 4.8) for second place.
Perennial number three, WHTZ/Z100 jumped slightly to 4.7.
All-news sister stations WCBS-AM and WINS make big gains. WCBS went from a 3.5 to 4.4 in this ratings book, while WINS saw positive improvements from a 3.2 to 4.2.
WKTU wedged between the newsers, slipping to a 4.3.
Citadel-owned WABC also saw nice gains (3.7 from 3.0).
Tropical WSKQ dropped off to 3.3 from a 4.0 the previous month. However, Univision's WXNY edged up .4 to 2.9.
WFAN had a minimal increase to 3.0, while rival WEPN/ESPN 1050 improved to 1.4 (from 1.2).
CBS' NOW FM/WXRK also made .4 gains to 2.9.
WPLJ experienced a .4 bump to 2.6.
Even WBBR 1130 (Bloomberg Radio) got caught up in the gains, as the Business station reached a milestone 1.0.
The January book covered January 6 through February 2.

Hispanics unhappy with Dem shift
To get an idea of how far Democrats have moved to the right on the issue of immigration reform, consider this: The Obama administration's enforcement efforts in 2009 led to the deportation of 387,790 illegal immigrants — a 5 percent jump over the Bush administration's record in 2008.
And this: A liberal Democratic senator from New York is a co-sponsor of a measure that includes what civil libertarians fear could become the first national ID card.
Story Continued Below
And this: A PowerPoint presentation offering guidance for Democrats in the coming Senate debate concludes that the most persuasive argument to voters for supporting reform is actually a classic Republican pitch: because it will force illegal immigrants to "pay their fair share of taxes."
The Democrats' tough-love approach to immigration aims both to foster Republican support for a bill and to avoid claims that Democrats are soft on crime and security issues. But for some advocates of reform, the Democrats' accommodating right turn has gone so far that it is becoming a liability in the long fight to pass comprehensive reform. After all, why should the enforcement-first crowd come to the table when they don't have to?
"The political strategy the Obama administration is pursuing is a bankrupt one," said Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Center for Community Change. Tough enforcement was supposed to give the president and his party the "bona fides" to push through reform. Instead, "it has only whetted the appetite of conservatives for more and more enforcement," said Bhargava.
Indeed, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Wednesday introduced an amendment to a financial regulation reform bill to require completion of the 700-mile fence along the Mexican border within a year.
The GOP gains in each new iteration of the reform debate may help explain why President Barack Obama is having such a difficult time persuading Republicans to co-sponsor the legislative framework developed in bipartisan talks between Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
"I want to begin work this year," Obama said Wednesday, speaking in the Rose Garden at a Cinco de Mayo reception. "And I want Democrats and Republicans to work with me."
Thus far, no Republicans have taken him up on the offer despite the heavy emphasis Democrats have placed on improving border security and documenting immigrant workers — including Schumer's call for creation of a tamper-proof Social Security card that would include such "biometric" identifiers as fingerprints. Workers would use the card to prove to employers their legal status, but critics say it is the first step toward a national identification card.

The Thursday editorial regarding Merchant's Wharf was right on. I hope it sparks a community-wide effort to save and refurbish this waterfront icon. The last thing this community needs is to spend millions of dollars wiping out one of the most vibrant centers of community life to create another dead zone like Marine Park Plaza. That bit of open space cost something like $5 million. For that money, we got a poor bus facility and a lousy public plaza all in one. Most of the year it is populated by a few lonely skateboarders. Who wants more of that?
It wasn't too many years ago that Seattle was actively contemplating tearing down all its old waterfront piers and razing Pike Place Market. That ill-begotten idea was stopped by concerned citizens and enlightened policy makers. We need similar action to ensure the continued existence of our living waterfront.

Why Research Is at the Heart of Roswell Park's Mission
Cancer research is really at the heart of everything we do at Roswell Park. Our mission—to understand, prevent and cure cancer—cannot move forward without it.
Although we focus on research each and every day at Roswell Park, I want to highlight its role this month for National Cancer Research Month and help explain a little about how cancer research works.
When you hear about patients being treated with chemotherapy, or cancer drugs, those drugs were discovered using cancer research. When you hear about novel therapies using a new kind of radiation or by stimulating a patient's immune system, those techniques were all discovered and tested using cancer research. Even new ways to diagnose and prevent cancer had their beginnings in a new idea found by research.
But just like the complex group of diseases it seeks to understand, cancer research is multi-faceted, involving many disciplines. There are many types of cancer research, all working in concert toward a shared goal.
Basic Science
At Roswell Park, we have multidisciplinary teams of scientists and physicians who conduct research. Part of those teams are researchers who focus on what we refer to as basic science, or science done in the laboratory to look at the basic mechanisms of cancer.
These research departments include:
- Biostatistics and Bioinformatics
- Cancer Biology
- Cancer Genetics
- Cancer Prevention & Population Sciences
- Cell Stress Biology
- Immunology
- Molecular and Cellular Biology
- Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Translational Research
Our basic scientists work closely with our physicians and clinical scientists who actually see patients in the clinics. It's really this marriage between the laboratory and the clinical setting that moves cancer discoveries forward. This is known as translational research, or translating basic science observations into clinical applications where they are eventually put to use to the benefit of cancer patients.
Translational research is truly a team effort. Each team is made up of the various specialists who focus on each particular type of cancer – medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, basic scientists, pathologists, and even the nurses who care for the patients and administer the chemotherapy.
At Roswell Park we have more than 250 investigators, basic scientists and physicians that are all a part of this big, collaborative research team.
Clinical Research Studies
Clinical research is different than basic research because it, for the most part, involves patients.
When a basic discovery in the laboratory has been rigorously researched and developed into a promising new treatment, its final journey in the research process is a clinical research study. There are multiple phases of each clinical research study. Each is designed to answer different questions about the new treatment in a safe, reliable manner. Making the progression from one phase to the next is dependent on the success and results of each previous phase.
When clinical trials identify new and effective treatments, these treatments will eventually become the new standard of care that will be offered to future patients. Today's standard treatments were researched and proven by clinical research studies done in the past.

Game creator Hidetaka Miyazaki expresses the desire to make his next project better than his previous efforts and hopes it has the capacity to surpass the Souls series.
In a recent interview with Kotaku, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Dark Souls 3 and the creator of the entire Souls franchise in which the title is rooted, discussed his legacy in relation to From Software's popular action-RPG series, and how he wishes to continue progressing with game creation. The discussion touches on Miyazaki's career with From Software and how he's changed as a developer, but it mostly centers around Dark Souls 3 and where he intends to go from there.
During the conversation, Miyazaki was asked if, 10 years from now, he would be okay with being primarily remembered for the game design model that From Software has used for Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls series, and Bloodborne, or if he wanted to be known for another project. Regarding the notion, Miyazaki responded with a content, yet detached statement, expressing that people's perception of him is beyond his interest and control, but even so, he is fine with fans viewing him in such a way, as his main imperative is evolving and besting all previous efforts, including the Souls series.
"To be honest, I'm really not interested on how I'm viewed as. The only thing I'm interested in is to keep creating something special. Whether that something is synonymous to me or not is really none of my concern. But, I can't deny the fact that the Souls series is something special to me, so I am happy to know that people have that sort of image of me. Even if that image stays with me, I have no intention of ending in a way where I couldn't create a game that surpasses the Souls series. That would be pretty sad, wouldn't it?"
Back in April, the game director and Dark Souls creator declared work had begun on a new IP at From Software, but has yet to divulge any details regarding its development. Of course, on top of putting together the fresh property for the studio, Miyazaki is also in the process of creating post launch materials for Dark Souls 3, as its first DLC is scheduled for for release in autumn of 2016, and its second batch is primed for early 2017.
Not long ago, Miyazaki stated that he intends for Dark Souls 3 to be the end of the series, and he would pursue new ideas for subsequent projects. For those not keeping count, he and his studio are looking to branch out as much as possible with From Software having three new games in development, each of which Miyazaki undoubtedly hopes allow him to expand his creative parameters exponentially.
Although From Software is leaving the Souls series behind by ending with the third official chapter, it's hard to say that the franchise didn't close out on a high note. After all, Dark Souls 3 is easily one of the top games of 2016 so far, and with more time under it's belt, it will surely be remembered fondly for ages to come. Plus, Miyazaki's drive to make even better games to surpass the Souls series ought to not only provide him with creative satisfaction, but also should give fans of his work a lot to look forward to.
The Souls series' latest game is Dark Souls 3, and it's available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

It pays to do your due diligence when having your car or truck repaired - you could easily save yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars!
Well, as I've said, "it definitely pays to do a little research or homework when it comes to repairing your car or truck." My Volvo recently had a leak in the rack and pinion. This leak originally was just a drop or two per week which really wasn't much, then out of nowhere and started leaking an ounce or two every day - that is pretty bad. I called a few people in the phonebook and through craigslist to get some prices and figure out what all needed to be done. To get some reference points I even called the local dealers.
The range in prices I got was from the high-end of $2400 at the car dealers to a low-end $500 for come to your home repair service. The problem here was that the car dealers were going to fix the actual problem of the leaking rack and pinion, whereas the at home repair services only wanted to fix the power steering pump and high pressure hoses. So the real problem here would not have even been fixed by the at home repair services. When I told him that the rack needed replacement they stated that that was never the case and all that was needed was to replace the pump and hoses.
Now by looking around a little bit and doing a little research I found the actual price on these parts and all the markups involved depending on where you bought it. The power steering rack and pinion was $1034 at the car dealerships. The same part was $675 at AutoZone, $659 at PepBoys and so on. By doing a little research I found a reputable remanufacturer that sells these racks at OEM or better condition and grade for a fraction of the cost - around only $250! Literally one fourth of what the car dealer wanted and one third of the local auto parts store prices.
Do you have cloudy, worn or dirty headlight lenses?
So right off the bat, by buying through these guys, I was saving between $400 and $700. Now all I needed to do was find someone to remove the old rack and pinion and install the new one. Well it couldn't be the at home repair guys because they obviously missed the mark with their diagnosis and knowledge because in this case it really was the rack and pinion that needed to be replaced. There was nothing wrong with the power steering pump or hoses.
After asking around and looking a little bit farther out side of my city I found a very reputable car repair shop in the outskirts of Kannapolis, NC. He was skilled in all things automotive from car repair to body work and his prices for labor or about half of what everyone else wanted. For instance, the car repair Bible or book that auto mechanics and car repair shops used to diagnose and determine billing for labor hours stated that the repair for a rack and pinion on a Volvo was 4.7 hours. So, if a car dealership recharge $80 an hour for repair time, that would be $376 in labor costs, not including parts or other fees.
I'm still not sure exactly how the new car dealership came up with $2400 - must be they added some bogus fees which basically does translate into extra pay cash or to help pay the highly inflated bonus and salary of the general manager and other basic do-nothing, high pay positions (general managers make on average $250,000 a year and that money must come from somewhere - usually from bogus dealer processing fees and other ridiculous add-ons and other bogus fees which they charge to the customers).
Restore your worn, dirty and cloudy headlights to new again with the best selling automotive product available - New Lite headlight restoration kits from MDWholesale.com!
So, basically with a little the homework I got the part $250 and that includes shipping to me in the labor was done for around $160 which equals a total of around $410. That's a savings of 83% off the dealers prices and 70% or so off the prices of the local auto parts stores like AutoZone, PepBoys and others. The dealers price to install and include all parts and fees was $2400. The local auto parts stores were around $1800 all inclusive. I, with a little research got $410 for the same service plus they threw in the free oil change and checked my car over to see if there is anything else needed repair for free.
So the point of this article is there's no reason for anyone to pay the high exaggerated prices to repair their car or truck at the local car dealerships. They have gotten far too greedy, their markups are ridiculous and in some cases they will actually literally outright lie to you about what really needs to be done to your car (see car dealer scams for more info on this). You need to be wary and need to be willing to do just a little bit of due diligence or homework and you can save literally thousands of dollars in car repairs (see save on car repairs for more info on this). No where is this more important than now during the current recession (or some talking heads would refer to it as the next great depression). Good luck, do your due diligence and save big as I did.

Will the big three automakers still be the big three after this bear market?
I think and analysts agree that Chrysler, Ford and GM are all in serious trouble. Just like some of the biggest banks and insurance companies fell and some came close (hint to the wise - others may still and probably will fall) so will at least one of the big three automakers. They are all in worse shape than the banks and have been losing money for years prior to this latest economic downturn.

Consumers are putting off any unnecessary purchases and are finding it very hard to get approved for credit except for those with exceptional AAA credit. The dark clouds, vultures and blow flies are circling Detroit and the big three. It is most likely inevitable that one will fall, but hard to tell which one will fall first. Will it be Chrysler? Without Iacocca they just haven't been the same. It's like Limp Biscuit without the biscuit, just limp.
Chrysler had some great times with the minivan and such, but it hasn't got much left. I think they will be first. GM has some serious problems and so does Ford with their finacial numbers and there are no profits at all. I wonder what kind of pay the executives are taking while their companies are outright falling hard? Well, only time will tell and soon.

Salvage and rebuilt cars
I found the body shop most interesting as it was full of badly wrecked and recently new (2006 and newer luxury cars (BMW, Volvo, Porsche, Maserati and Mercedes Benz). While I waited for my car to get serviced and then inspected (what was funny here is that the inspection place was right next to the Eiuropean service center where my car was being worked on, but the owner said I would have to personally take my car over there when it was done because he and the inspection station owner did not get along). Anyways, As I walked around the body shop manager came out and we talked a little - apparently he was taking a break and had nothing better to do - neither did I as I was waiting for probably an hour or two for my car to be done.

So we walked around his shop and I asked him about some of the vehicles in there. One was a Volvo that had obviously been hit really hard in the front. The frame was bashed in and so were the doors and even the left rear quarter and rear bumper and frame. Apparently this car got squished really bad. I asked him why this car was being fixed up as it was probably written off by the insurance company as a total wreck. He said these are his most profitable vehicles. He has an agreement with a local franchised new and used car dealer that buys these cars from customers and from salvage auctions for dirt cheap and then they haul them with a flat bed wrecker to him for repair.
The body shop man said within a few weeks they look as good as new and the used/new car dealer just sells them back to customers for big profits. According to the bodyshop guy, he also makes out very well due to this and so he recently increased his hourly labor charge 10 dollars because he could. I asked him is these cars were properly titled in the state for salvage and rebuilt. He said he had no idea what the car dealer did with them or if the eventual buyers even knew these cars were previously involved in a serious accident and deemed a total wreck by the insurance companies. He said most likely they didn't know or didn't care. Just goes to show that you need to do a used car VIN (vehicle identification number check) like Car Fax or Experian Autocheck prior to buying any used vehicle.

Hurricane Gustav and what it means for Car Fax, flooded cars and con artist used car dealers
Not only could Gustav become a category 4 prior to entering the Gulf of Mexico, but it could even strengthen and enlargen more through the gulf. Then it is projected to barrel down near New Orleans and Louisiana. This is an area that still hasn't fully recovered from the last one - Katrina. The city of New Orleans and the surrounding area are mostly very low lying lands or even under sea level. Last time a major hurricane hit this area, the resulting floods ruined hundreds of thousands of cars and many of those have ended up back on the streets with little to show their previous flood history.

Flood cars are very dangerous because the water damage will cause corrosion of parts that are internal and are not meant to be exposed to the elements. These parts can easily include hoses, electrical lines, etc... The problem with flood cars is that things will break down and go wrong and usually when you least expect them too. What happens if you are driving down the road and all of a sudden your brakelights stop working due to an electrical short caused by frayed or corroded wires? What if your headlights stop working at night due to a similar electrical glitch?
That could easily result in a terrible accident.
These things and more occur quite often with previously flooded cars so they must be avoided. By purchasing a CarFax or Experian auto check one can better find out the vehicles history and avoid flood damaged vehicles. Now with Hurricane Gustav barreling down on the same area there will inevitably be another resulting sharp increase in flood damaged vehicles being resold and buyers being left out as to the vehicles true history. A CarFax is essential to any buyer of a used car or truck.

Bachelor in Theology, Instituto Biblico Buenos Aires
I have been teaching in the Language & Cultural Studies Department since Spring 2000. Before coming to I taught as Teaching Assistant in the Spanish Department at Temple University and later, as Lecturer in the Romance Languages Department at the University of Pennsylvania.
One of the things I enjoy the most about teaching at Eastern is the opportunity to integrate my Christian faith with the teaching of all subjects. When the teaching of a specific subject is isolated from life as a whole, it becomes hollow and lacks lasting value. Guiding students in the development of certain skills, or leading them in the process of intellectual reasoning, is meaningful only when the students are given the opportunity to connect those experiences with their life as a whole. To me, the integration of Christian faith with academic work means to guide the student in the development of a Christian worldview and then, intentionally and creatively bringing that Christian perspective to all issues of study.
My areas of research are primarily those related with the courses I teach. First, I consider Spanish culture. Through reading, film and travel, I continually seek to learn and understand current Spanish cultural trends and the particular historical context in which the Spanish identity was formed. I consistently research these trends and ways to guide my students in the interpretation and evaluation of these cultural realities from the Christian worldview. Second, I consider Spanish Literature. As previously stated, my interest is to enrich my teaching, facilitating the integration of Biblical perspective into the subjects of discussion. For this purpose, Spanish plays like La vida es sueño (by Calderón de la Barca), La casa de Bernarda Alba (by García Lorca), novels like Misericordia (by Pérez Galdós), historical writings like Bartolomé de las Casas´Historia de las Indias and the mystical poems of Santa Teresa de Jesús represent examples of Spanish literature on which I focus my research.

This smells a little sweet but also delivers terrific herbal, floral and medicinal spice notes, with rich black pepper and bacon fat base notes. Juicy and broad in the mouth, there's nice energy here with lively acids and very finely polished tannins. The fruit profile offers up blueberry and mulberry notes, backed up with balsamic undertones, minty spice and a gentle underlay of toasted oak. A nice dried meat tone drifts over the fruit on the moderately long and red fruited finish. This is pretty delicious. 90pts

Jimmy Clausen: Now's The TimeJune 27, 2009
When highly touted Quarterback Jimmy Clausen rolled up in South Bend Indiana in a stretch limousine, with white fur draped over his shoulders, rings adorning his fingers, we knew that the next few years were going to be fun as sports fans.
Now however is the time for Clausen to come out and prove that he is who the college scouts thought he was, that he is a good enough player to get away with eccentric behaviour like he showed on April 22nd 2006 in Indiana. There can no longer be any excuses, Notre Dame have a premier receiving corp, a largely returning offensive line and the tools for a run game that can make the play action pass that much more effective.
His freshman season was plagued with the image of him sitting on his derrier, a depleted offensive line allowed Clausen to be sacked 34 times, injuries and poor play led to him missing significant time, missing the USC and Navy games completely
Last season he showed glimpses of what he is capable of, throwing for 3172 yards, and 25 TD's. However he did throw 17 interceptions on the season. Now it would be easy to look at those stats as a rival and say that it's very unimpressive, but watching all of the games, a number of those interceptions can be attributed to the receiver, missed routes, poor play and fumbled catches.
However, it can not be denied that Clausen has to make better decisions, and I'm not talking about his decision to get a little tipsy with cameras around. At points he needs to step out of the pocket and just throw the ball away instead of trying to force into spaces that Montana couldn't manage.
Clausen will be given all the weapons necessary to be one of the top QB's this season with Golden Tate and impressive freshman Michael Floyd return to South Bend. They will be joined by Duval Kamara and highly touted California recruit Shaquelle Evans. Along with that big target over the middle in Kyle Rudolph, Jimmy has no more excuses.
He wanted four national titles when he signed up to be the ND QB, maybe he will have to settle for the one, but a lot rests on the young mans shoulder.

(History of the World: The 19th Century)
Article abstract: Browning was the most respected woman poet of the Victorian age. Her work is known for its formal iconoclasm, impetuosity of tone, and political content.
Early Life
Elizabeth Barrett was the eldest of the eleven children of Edward Moulton Barrett and Mary Graham Clarke. She grew up at Hope End, a large country house in Herefordshire. Both parents, but especially her father, encouraged her to read widely; unlike most privileged girls of her time, she was allowed free use of her father's library and shared her brothers' classical tuition. Her father arranged for her epic poem The Battle of Marathon (1820) to be privately published when she was fourteen.
In 1821 Elizabeth suffered a severe but unexplained illness that affected her spine and lungs and left her a semi-invalid for the rest of her life. During the 1830's, she produced her first successful poetry: The Seraphim and Other Poems (1838) was well received and gained its author considerable notice. At about the same time, her health broke down, and she traveled from London to the milder climate of Torquay to recover. During her convalescence, she begged her favorite brother Edward ("Bro") to visit her in Torquay; while there, he drowned on a sailing excursion. Elizabeth's grief and guilt were so overwhelming that for the rest of her life she could never speak or write of the event.
Somewhat recovered but still very much an invalid, Elizabeth returned to London in 1841 and plunged into literary work. In 1844 her popular two-volume Poems, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning appeared. One poem in this collection, "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," referred favorably to the work of then little-known poet Robert Browning. He wrote to thank her, and they began a correspondence that led to their first meeting four months later. For over a year they wrote to each other daily (sometimes twice daily). Elizabeth's father had forbidden any of his children to marry, so Elizabeth and Robert married secretly and left for Italy in 1846. They settled in Florence, in Casa Guidi, where their son Pen was born in 1849 and where they lived for the rest of Elizabeth's life.
Life's Work
During the 1840's and 1850's, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's major works appeared, and her poetic reputation reached its height. Her 1844 Poems, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning contain multiple voices, styles, and subjects. She experiments boldly with form, especially half-rhymes, metrical irregularities, neologisms, compound words, and lacunae. These experiments at once pleased, intrigued, infuriated, and disturbed her contemporary readers. More recently, they have been seen (by Virginia Woolf and others) as formative influences on later poets and harbingers of literary modernism.
In 1850 Browning published a collection of her poetry, including the 1844 poems plus some new material such as the famous Sonnets from the Portuguese, written secretly to her husband during their courtship. These poems are by far her most well known, less for any intrinsic artistic excellence than for their abiding romantic and psychological portrait of developing love. They trace the emotional state of the poet—a thirty-nine-year-old invalid wooed by a younger man—from surprise, reluctance, and confusion to passion, trust, and hope for the future.
In addition to the sonnets, the 1850 Poems includes two poems focused on social issues. "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point" is an impassioned first-person poem in which a slave murders her own child, who was conceived as a result of rape by her white master. "The Cry of the Children" protests the inhumane conditions for child laborers in British coal mines and factories. Not only did these poems provoke a powerful response from socially conscious readers, but they also anticipated the overtly political concerns of Browning's next book of poetry.
Browning's next book, Casa Guidi Windows (1851), revealed her interest in the politics of the Italian Risorgimento. Casa Guidi Windows is "A Poem, in Two Parts," the first written in 1848 and filled with the optimism attendant upon the abortive Italian revolution of that year. Part 2 was written in 1851 after the crushing defeat of the patriots at Novara in 1849 and is decidedly more pessimistic. The poem's confident approach is noteworthy, particularly since it was unusual in Browning's time for a woman poet to venture onto political terrain, which was considered reserved for men. Casa Guidi Windows is written in a modified terza rima, and some of its vivid ironic characterizations are reminiscent of Robert Browning's poetry and have led critics to assume that Elizabeth was influenced by her husband.
Throughout the 1850's, Elizabeth and Robert traveled widely in Europe and visited England three...

An outraged mother has branded a council's health and safety measures 'ridiculous' after her three-year-old son was banned from riding his bicycle in a local park.
A park warden told Melanie Liu, 36, that her son Jude's stabilizers were a 'hazard'.
Mrs Liu, who is eight months pregnant, was stopped by the warden as her toddler pedalled through the park. She was told he must dismount straight away or they would be evicted. She said: 'When I asked why, they said my son was a health and safety hazard. I think they are taking political correctness to ridiculous levels - the bike is no higher than my knee and I'm 5ft 1in. I believe we were targeted because I'm so pregnant and Jude's so small.'
She added that the warden targeted her, yet ignored disruptive youths hanging around the park. 'There were other things going on in the park that were ignored - teens drinking beer, someone with a pitbull terrier - but we were an easy target. The real health and safety issue are the teenagers on bikes that go round the play area where the children are, not a pre-schooler on a bike with stabilisers. What damage is he going to cause?'
A council spokesperson denied that Mrs Liu and Jude had been asked to leave the park:
Scarborough Council's parks and countryside manager Roger Burnett said: 'The by-law in operation in the park states that cycles are permitted, but people have to walk with them and push them along rather than ride on them. Our park officer did approach the lady and her son to tell her about this by-law but at no time did he ask her to leave the park.'
What do you think?
Have you been subjected to over zealous health and safety rules?

Federer Must Chip & Charge To Beat NadalFebruary 4, 2009
The jury had delivered its verdict long ago, so Sunday's final was merely further evidence that Rafael Nadal has Roger Federer's number.
Nadal's record against Federer speaks for itself: in 19 encounters the Spaniard has come out on top on 13 occasions. Perhaps even more distressing for Federer fans is that the Swiss maestro has lost the last five matches against the Spaniard.
So how can Federer reverse this trend?
Sadly for Federer, there is no easy answer to this question. There are very few areas in Nadal's game that can be targeted as weaknesses. With that said, Nadal's second serve is nearly always there to be attacked.
Nevertheless, for some reason, Federer always seems reluctant to go after his adversary's second serve. In the Australian Open final, he just seemed to prod the ball back down the middle of the court, thus putting very little, if any, pressure on Nadal.
The simplest, and arguably most effective method of putting pressure on an opponent's second serve, and first serve, is by chipping and charging.
Chipping and charging is a seldom-used tactic by anyone these days, but Federer appears less likely to utilize such a tactic than most players on the tour.
During the Australian Open final, Federer chipped and charged on only one occasion.
Sixty-three times Nadal hit a second serve and only once did Federer respond by chipping and charging. If Federer wants to harbor any hope of beating Nadal in the future, he really needs to chip and charge on a more frequent basis.
Consequently, on the one occasion Federer did chip and charge, he won the point.
Of course, there is no guarantee that chipping and charging will result in Federer beating Nadal, but there are numerous advantages to adopting such a tactic.
The very nature of the chip shot, with the slice applied to it, means that the ball will stay low to the ground making life that little bit harder for the server.
The key, however, is that Federer gets to the net. Over the past few months, Federer's net game has improved significantly. In fact, on Sunday, he won 73 percent of points when he came into the net.
Nadal is undoubtedly one of the best passers to ever play the game but coming into the net forces him to produce a sublime shot. Basically, all the pressure is thrust upon Nadal's shoulders to make the pass.
Chipping and charging will by no means automatically win Federer the match, but at the moment, the tactics he is employing are failing. There is no shame whatsoever in failing while trying new tactics.
For Federer, the time has come to try something a little different.

The following are remarks made by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney on Monday, as he announced a ban on face coverings for new Canadians taking their citizenship oath
Jason Kenney
"I'm here today to talk about the incredible importance of Canadian citizenship. Every year, Canada welcomes over 150,000 new members of our Canadian family, people who came from over 180 different countries of origin with a hope of living in this free and prosperous land, to respect its laws, its customs: to become good citizens.
"I've been so honoured to act as our minister of citizenship for the past four years, three years during which time we have tried to reinforce the value and a deeper understanding of Canadian citizenship rooted in our history. So many who went before us made sacrifices to build this country. We owe it to them to ensure that we always respect the incredible value of Canadian citizenship.
"There are four legal requirements to become a Canadian citizen: firstly, to have a basic knowledge of Canada; secondly, a capacity to speak one of our two official languages; thirdly, to have been a resident in Canada for three out of five years, to have actually lived here and demonstrated a commitment to the country and finally, to take the oath of citizenship.
"All we ask of people is to fulfill the requirements of citizenship and to swear an oath before one's fellow citizens that one will be loyal to our traditions that go back centuries. This common pledge is the bedrock on which Canadian society rests. That is why starting today, my department will require that all those taking the oath do so openly. From today, all persons will be required to show their face when swearing the oath.
"I have received complaints from members of Parliament, from citizens, from judges of the citizenship court that it is hard to ensure that individuals whose faces are covered are actually reciting the oath. Requiring that all candidates show their faces while reciting the oath allows judges and everyone present to share in the ceremony, to ensure that all citizenship candidates are in fact, reciting the oath as required by our law. This is not simply a practical measure. It is a matter of deep principle that goes to the heart of our identity and our values of openness and equality. The citizenship oath is a quintessentially public act. It is a public declaration that you are joining the Canadian family and it must be taken freely and openly.
"To segregate one group of Canadians or allow them to hide their faces, to hide their identity from us precisely when they are joining our community is contrary to Canada's proud commitment to openness and to social cohesion. It's important to note that this is an expectation. If Canada is to be true to our history and to our highest ideals, we cannot tolerate two classes of citizens. We cannot have two classes of citizenship ceremonies.
"Canadian citizenship is not simply about the right to carry a passport or to vote. It is also about responsibilities and obligations. It defines who we are as Canadians including our mutual responsibilities to one another and a shared commitment to values that are rooted in our history. At its best a citizenship ceremony captures the profound nature of this shared commitment.
"We believe that this new rule is the best way to be faithful to that ideal. What I am announcing today makes part of our broader action plan for Canadian citizenship to ensure that we truly value this great gift that we share. We've done this first of all, by improving the knowledge requirement with a new test and the new study guide Discover Canada which goes much more deeply into our history, shared values, institutions and symbols. We've done it by announcing that there will finally be third party consistent testing of language ability in French or English. We've done it by addressing the problem of fraud in demonstrating permanent residency in our citizenship program.
"Last week, we announced that our investigation has identified some 6,500 individuals who have been engaged in such residency fraud using crooked immigration consultants against whom we are taking enforcement action. Finally we are ensuring that the citizenship oath itself is properly respected by all of those who take it so that they in taking a solemn commitment, being a witness publicly to the rest of their fellow citizens, demonstrate who they are and their commitment to Canada."
