It was a pleasure having Marc help me with the 2015 Tacoma. He is a sharp, high energy, honest, efficient, and very knowledgeable sales consultant. He answered all my questions and did everything he could to get me into that truck that same night as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Marc!
I have been a longtime customer of Andrew Toyota. Most of my dealings with them have been with the service area, but my most recent experience was with the sales department and a new car purchase. I worked with Marc Brandofina and was more than pleased with his professionalism and great customer service. He made the car buying process very casual and stress free while making sure I got the vehicle I wanted at a very fair price. I worked with Jared Johnson in the finance department. Jared also provided a quick, seamless closing process and was a pleasure to work with. All of the departments work well together at Andrew and make you feel right at home. Customer satisfaction is obviously the top priority at Andrew, regardless of what department you might be dealing with on any given day. I'm sure all of the employees are great at Andrew but with Willie in service, Marc in sales and Jared in finance, Andrew certainly has 3 of the best in the business. I won't purchase or service any of my cars anywhere other than at Andrew Toyota. I have not had a negative experience here in the over 20 years that I have been a customer of theirs. Mike Sherlock
Relaxing environment, no pressure. Close to my home and work. Good service with my previous lease. Would recommend dealership to family and friends. Overall would highly refer.
I went to many different dealerships, but I am glad I chose to work with Marc at Andrew Toyota. He was very helpful and patient as I made my decision. Throughout the whole experience he was very open and honest about his approach and made me feel very comfortable during a big decision.
Got to the bottom line quickly, made the process easy and quick. Would recommend to anyone. 25 word minium on the review is too many.
Buying my new car was easy and positive throughout. Everyone was gracious. If I had a question it was answered. My salesman head right now is about this vehicle.
Second time I've leased my RAV4 from Andrew Toyota and my expert sales rep, Marc Brandofina! Very accommodating and goes to the extreme to meet my sometimes unusual demands!! Would highly recommend both dealer and Marc!
I didn't really care for my last Camry much and was going to check out Honda's and Nissan's when my lease was up for renewal. I couldn't bring myself to buy one of those brands because I wouldn't be able to go thru Andrew Toyota. When I brought my Camry in for a brake issue, I ended up turning in my lease 2 months early and leasing a Toyota Corolla, which so far I am happy with.
Marc and his team were excellent to work with. He worked quickly, showing me exactly what I asked for and made my budget work. I was in and out of the much faster than I expected. I won't hesitate to return / recommend. Thanks!
I worked with Marc and he was very patient with me and my financial situation. He helped me land a great car! I'm happy to have worked with him.
I have been working with Andrew Toyota for 4.5 years as a small business owner who now has a fleet of 11 cars. Marc Brandofina ( sales consultant) and Jared Johnson (Finance) have worked diligently to help me get my first two cars when I first opened the business and today I receive the same service, but they fight ( on my behalf ) with Toyota Financial to make it work which at times involves some creativity.I appreciate their customer-centric focus as well as the professionalism and the support of the service department as I continue to grow my business double digits every year. Marc- Molly Maid
My experience with Marc at Andrew Toyota was excellent. At first, I wasn't considering purchasing a vehicle from Andrew. But I have a long, positive history with their service department, so I thought that I'd give them consideration. I first connected with Matt, via an internet inquiry. He directed me to Marc when I visited the dealership. My focus was on the purchase of a late model Sienna (since my 12 year old one was nearing the end of it's life). I had interest in two and test drove one of them. (The other was receiving service.) Marc has a prompt, pleasant, straight-forward communication style. In fact, he left me a voicemail 10 minutes after I left to give me an update on the one of the Siennas! I decided to purchase the test-driven mini-van on the next day. I communicated via text with Marc, and arranged time to complete the purchase price, trade-in, and other documents. Although Marc was busy with others, he dedicated time to fulfill my needs. Overall, Marc (and Chris, the finance manager) really listened to my needs and offered me a reasonable deal that fits my family's needs. I highly recommend Marc at Andrew!
This is our 3rd time dealing with Marc Brandofina and he is wonderful. We told him our interest in the Tundra and we test drove it as soon as we got there and loved it. We traded our other vehicle in and everything went smooth and we were there no more than a couple hours. Also, very nice guy and recommend him to anyone. :)
I always get great service because the service guy is so on top of his game. Everything is explained clearly so it all makes sense. I am treated like a rock star. And Andrew Toyota will soon be adding cell phone charging stations in the waiting room! make sure to ask for Willie- he's da Bomb!
Marc Brandofina was professional organized and simply a pleasure to work with! He agreed quickly on a leasing payment and followed up with any questions I had prior to making my final decision. The day I came to complete the paperwork and pick up the car I brought my children and parents with!! Everyone agreed that the dealership made the experience easy and fun! Thank you!!
I have dealt with this dealership for YEARS - 12 to 15, can't recall. Been dealing with Marc Brandofina, Sales & Leasing Consultant for half that. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I lease. They remember what I like and dislike after all these years and have me in and out in no time. I drive way out of my way to go to this dealership and I will continue to do so.
Marc was helpful in getting me a good price on my trade and was effective at locating the Car I wanted.. h was a pleasure ego work with. No dealer BS. I love the Camry Hybrid
Marc was very helpful in my search to reduce my car payment from my wrangler to something cheaper but without compromising safety. He went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable with my decision. Will be back!
After my car was totalled in an accident, I needed another safe and reliable car quickly! I found a preowned vehicle and drove it home within the promised time frame thanks to Larry Erickson and Marc Brandofina!! I couldn't be happier with my new wheels!
The best thing about working with Marc was that he was knowledgeable and efficient to help me get into a new RAV4 quickly. I wasn't at the dealership waiting around for eons. I appreciated Marc's service which made the car shopping process easy and painless.
I walked in with a pretty good idea of what I wanted and Marc went above and beyond to make sure I left with that and more! It was an easy process and he answered every single one of my questions with the same level of patience. He made me feel confident in my decisions. Would highly recommend for any future car buying/leasing needs!!
My husband and I had been looking around online for a while for used Toyota Highlanders. We decided to check out Andrew Toyota because they had the best selection in the state of Wisconsin and didn't call or text us every five minutes when we inquired about the selection. Walking into Andrew Toyota, we literally had to find someone to talk to and mind you this was a rainy Friday morning. This was REFRESHING! Not being harassed or bombarded while car shopping is a blessing. While working with Marc in sales and Drake in Finance we were able to walk away with a new and unexpected purchase for our family! It was a pleasure working with the entire team at Andrew Toyota and I hope you find as much satisfaction as we did with your car purchase!
Found out I had a totaled car post car accident unexpectedly, and after dealing with snaky insurance people I was dreading having to buy a new car. I was given a small amount of time to make such a large purchase and Marc made that process so painless for me. I have a very busy schedule and he worked with me daily via text/email to get the car I wanted for an EXTREMELY amazing price. I bought my first car here a couple years back knowing Marc is a reliable and friendly salesman to work with, which made me decide to come to him to purchase my new RAV4 Adventure. It barely even felt like I was buying a car it was so effortless with how knowledgable and accommodating he was. I am ecstatic with my purchase and 100% recommend Marc to anyone who is looking for either a new or used vehicle! Everyone at Andrew cares about their customers and you can definitely tell.
Marc was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. He was flexible and responsive to what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect car.
Great trade in value, great service and knowledgeable sales person with a unbeatable new truck price. We will highly recommend this dealership and the salesperson.
I have shopped here for many cars and always been very happy with what I have gotten. Very smooth and easy process and employees are helpful.
The experience we had at Andrew Toyota was awesome. Marc Brandofina was very thorough with explaining all of the features on our Rav 4. We were very satisfied with the customer care. We highly recommended the dealership.
First I will say, I typically dread car shopping. I don't like feeling pushed or like I am playing games. I have to say the experience at this dealership contained none of that. I never felt pushed and everyone was very friendly (in a genuine way) and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and I did not feel pressured, which is very appreciated. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and even the financial stuff at the end was very easy and relaxed. I would recommend this dealership based on my car buying experience yesterday.
Marc did what I exactly expected from a sales person. He was efficient, quick and understanding with my requirements for the car and respected my time.
Marc helped me pick out a car for my son. He was knowledgeable and helpful. When it came time to close the purchase the process was incredibly painless. He made it easy.
Our experience with the Andrew's team could not have been better. We were not pressured in any way, and felt the deal we received was a fair one.
From start to finish, this was a great experience! The first point of contact was Mike Heubner (Internet Sales). We informed him we were interested in a specific vehicle, and he went out of his way (and then some) to make sure the potential transaction moved forward quickly, and progressed smoothly. Next we dealt with Marc Brandofina, who is definitely on top of his game. He was very efficient and dealt with us fairly. When he learned that we knew what we wanted, he worked diligently to make that happen. Lastly, we dealt with Brian Gunther to close out the deal. He also was very efficient, polite and professional. He did not inject any last minute shenanigans into the calculations - way to go! Taken together, the three of them represented Andrew Toyota in a very good way, and are to be recommended. Thank You!
I knew my lease was up and was a little nervous about securing my new lease but was completely happy with the speed and ease with the whole process. I'm very happy with my new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback.
I just leased a 2019 RAV4 from Marc Brandofina and had a phenomenal experience. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and very friendly throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Marc and Andrew Toyota.
I have leased four camrys from Andrew Toyota over the past 10-12 years based on high quality of dealership service during and following the leasing process. It is a dealership that consistently earns my business.
Offered to trade in my vehicle that I recently leased from Marc Brandofina at Andrew Toyota last year. Because their wasn't enough meat on the bone for him to make "more than a mini-wage" on my 2018 4Runner, he treated me like dirt and continually badgered me with insults through emails like a child obsessed over something meager and small... like him.
The team stayed late to help close our deal and was very friendly/polite. They provided the lowest Highlander quote on the same model with same options in a 50 mile radius.
We found out that our 2007 Corolla needed more work than the car was worth. We called Marc telling him that we were interested in trying the 2016 Corollas on the lot, and that we would be trading in the 2007 for a new car. We were able to turn around and test drive 2016 Corollas within moments of being on the lot. Marc was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He remembered the family from working with us in the past. We were able to turn a fairly tragic day into a positive experience. The prices were excellent, we were given multiple options, but most importantly it felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. Would certainly recommend Marc to anyone who is in the market for a new or used Toyota.
We just finished our free two years for service. One word: Outstanding. Of course, as we put on miles and our 2017 Toyota Corolla and as it ages and we have larger scale repairs, we shall see. Only negative: No free wash. In a nutshell: I believe Andrew has looked that total customer service experience though the eyes of the the customer and that should build loyalty. Keep it up. PS Allen Good is always responsive to my email questions.
Everyone was friendly and resourceful to the kind of service my car needed. Everything was done fast and sufficient. I needed my cell phone to be reconnected with my car, and it was done without any hesitation by Marc Brandofina. Thanks so much for all that you do at Andrew Toyota.
My salesman, Marc Brandofina, was very knowledgeable and was expedient in finding my lease choice and configuring the pricing and payment obligation. Because of his expertise, I was able to smoothly get through the process in a reasonable amount of time.
I was in and out in under two hours....test drive to finished paperwork. It was a great experience and everyone throughout the process was very knowledgeable and helpful. Marc was especially helpful and kept everything cut and dry. A++
I was having a rough day, didn't know anything about the leasing process. They walked me through it, made me feel comfortable and put a smile on my face. I love my car!
This is the 3rd vehicle I have leased from Marc, he knows how to get it done! No wasted time, he actually listens to his clients and makes it happen. I couldn't be happier with the service and attention to detail he provides. I have shopped other Toyota dealers and I must say Marc is at the top of the ranks. It is all about the deal and he exceeds my expectations every time. Fantastic to work with!
This is the third vehicle I've bought from Andrew. I like toyota vehicles. The purchase experience was straight forward, informative and friendly. The price was very good.
I worked with Marc Brandofina and had a great experience. I recommend Andrew Toyota to anyone and would recommend you ask for and use Marc!
i pass two other toyota dealers on the way to get my car serviced at this one. they appreciate my business and treat me respectfully. great super responsive shuttle service. never a wait for my car. when they say when it will be done, it's done. they even offer me coupons i don't know about.
Service team was very professional and pleasant. Checking process went smoothly. Waiting area was clean and had coffee. When oil change was completed tech went over everything done and explained current status
After searching for a car for months at various other dealerships, we found Andrew Toyota to be exceptional. From initial communication for information about the car we were interested in, to our visits and finalizing the sale, Marc and Drake provided excellent service and an enjoyable experience.
I just leased my 8th car from Andrew Toyota - 5 Camrys and 3 Corollas. I've worked with Marc ever since he joined the dealership and is one of the reasons I don't go anywhere else. Working with him is always a good experience. The service department is another reason to stay with Andrew Toyota.
This is the third car I have bought while working with Marc. Have always had an enjoyable time.Marc is very knowledgeable and easy to work with..
When I came in to look at a used Jeep Grand Cherokee and wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did! Marc had us take a test drive and I knew it was the right car for me. Thank you Marc for helping me find my new to me safe and reliable car!!
Marc/Andrew Toyota was willing/able to improve the selling price of 2019 SR 5 Tundra when even two of my local dealers wouldn't. Excellent experience with Marc Brandofina/Andrew Toyota.
Marc's concern with getting me in the right vehicle went above and beyond! His questions were geared to finding out my exact needs and making sure I LOVED my new truck! Thanks for the attention to detail and the excellent customer service and care! Luke Langer
After checking three other dealers and getting the price down, Marc beat their price and found the car i wanted. I really wanted to use Andrew for the car since I have been a customer there since 1986, When it was Towne and then Schlesinger Toyota. My first Camry (1986) made it to 225K and my current Camry (2005) is at that now so I decided to get a new car just in case. Andrew's service has kept both cars well maintained. My two year dalliance with an Accord was not pleasurable. Marc kept me as a happy customer.
This was truly an exceptional experience, a "wow" experience, for me. I visited Andrew Toyota with my sister who was in the market for a new car. Initially, Marc did not know that I was interested in purchasing a new vehicle, but he answered all my questions and concerns as well as my sister's. After my sister took the Camry for a test drive, she insisted that I do the same. Marc allowed me to test drive the car as well. After Marc prepared the purchase contract for my sister, I asked if I could purchase the same car, a 2019 Camry, in a different color. Marc was very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. He worked diligently to find the vehicles that we were satisfied with. When I picked up my Camry, Marc had preset some features, explained other features and controls, setup the Bluetooth connection and downloaded apps to my phone. I was completely satisfied with the service I received. I will highly recommend Marc to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle. Thanks, Marc, for the great service.
Marc was able to pull up the vehicle I wanted, was patient with our questions, and walked through everything at our speed. Very quick and easy process.
I came in knowing exactly which used car I had my eyes on. Marc got me in quickly for a test drive, did not pressure me to look at any vehicles I was not interested in, got me a better interest rate than I could have received through my bank and helped me get rid of my old car without any issues.

And, thanks to Brandice for calling into the show. In addition to her blog, she is co-host of a video podcast called STeaP (super tea people). Definitely check those blogs out.
Finally, Sunday March 30th is National Doctors' Day. Thanks to all the docs out there. You're doing a great job and don't let anyone tell you anything different. Also, I'll be remembering those docs who are no longer with us - especially friends and mentors who have helped guide me to where I am today. So, if you haven't already, just tell a doc - "Thanks for what you do." That'll definitely bring a smile to her or his face. Have a great weekend, everybody!

Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
I have no idea who M.C.R. was (another unsolved mystery in this diary!) or what was done—but it sure seems to have made an impression. Today's "walking yesterday", refers to walking the rails to Turbotville the previous day.

December 26th, 2011
Haven't reviewed your free annual credit reports yet? You might find out you should have at the most inopportune momentwhen you try to get a loan, sign up for utility service, or even apply for a job. Credit reports provide a very personal look into your financial world. They contain information about where you live, where you have worked, how much money you owe, if you pay your bills on time, and whether you have filed for bankruptcy. The information can bolster your credit standing or undermine it. This information is collected and updated regularly by the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies:
, and
. Independent credit score developers such as Fair Isaac Company, VantageScore, and LLC develop proprietary scores that lenders use to assess the information in credit reports. The consumer reporting companies sell that information to creditors, insurers, and other businesses that have a valid need. Those businesses want to evaluate your applications for such things as insurance, credit, or renting a home. If you don't review and correct problems on your credit reports, businesses that receive them will make their judgments about you based on wrong or incomplete information. When the people you're dealing with tell you what they've based their decision on, you can respond that there has been a mistake. That, yes, it will be corrected. But are you, and will they be, prepared to wait? The
National Foundation for Credit Counseling
(NFCC), Washington, D.C., in its annual Financial Literacy Survey, found that 65% of respondents had not ordered their report in the past 12 months. Asked why not, 43% said they didn't think it would be useful to them. Another 43% indicated they didn't because they don't plan to apply for new loans or credit. "Obtaining your report and understanding its contents are basic building blocks of financial stability, so it is discouraging to know that so many have not taken advantage of this free resource," says Gail Cunningham, vice president of membership and public relations at NFCC. Review your annual reports and ensure that your credit is worthy. Here's how:
You can obtain one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies.
Get your free annual credit reports
As provided for by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, you can obtain one free report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. Stagger the reports every four months in rotation so you can keep tabs throughout the year. Only one website has been officially authorized to provide credit reports:
. You also can call 877-322-8228, or complete a request form and mail it to: Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. You'll need your name, address, Social Security number (SSN), and date of birth, and you may need to provide some details to verify that it's you making the request.
Check the basics first
Are your name, SSN, birth date, and address correct? Rod Griffin, Allen, Texas, director of public education at Experian, notes that the three things he's most asked about as errors are not errors at all: variations in name, SSN, and address. "Experian lists all name spellings and variations, Social Security number variations, and address variations reported to it by businesses," says Griffin. "We do so to ensure the consumer has a full account of the identifying information reported to us by lenders. Doing so enables the consumer to identify indicators of fraud or identity theft and to subsequently act on it. If Experian were to omit those variations, it may prevent a consumer from being alerted to fraud. "In most instances, however, the variations are simply the result of a person using a nickname to apply for credit or other services'Robert' on one application but 'Bob' on another, for example, or a typographical error such as a transposed digit in an address," Griffin says. These issues do not affect a person's credit scores or lending decisions.
Verify the information for each mortgage, loan, credit card
Some of it can get complicated. If a loan is sold, the lender listed may not be the same as the original. Check outstanding balances, credit limits, dates when the credit was obtained, and whether accounts were closed and who closed them. Look at unfavorable information such as late payments or collection accounts and make sure the data are correct.
Contact the company that has provided the incorrect information as well as the credit reporting agency.
Look for all types of errors and omissions
If there are problems in the reports, they can be large or small. It can be accounts that are duplicated, a lien after a bill has been paid, or different names, SSNs, addresses, or accounts you don't recognize. A study by the Policy and Economic Research Council, Durham, N.C., of more than 2,000 consumers found that only 0.93% of credit reports that consumers examined prompted a dispute resulting in a credit score change of 25 points or more. The study also found that only 0.50% of consumers had credit scores that moved to a higher "credit risk tier" upon completion of the dispute. When Dorothy Barrick, group manager and financial counselor with GreenPath Debt Solutions, Troy, Mich., reviews reports with clients as a free service, "We find all kinds of things. Often the major creditors have all been paid on time, but we find that the cable box was not marked as returned." Other times it might be a check that bounced, an old gym bill not paid, even part of a medical debtmaybe just an X-rayforgotten. Many times, the data are not disputable. The unfavorable information is valid and needs to be taken care of. But when it is in erroryou know you returned the cable box, for exampleyou can start the correction process, says Barrick.
Dispute incomplete or inaccurate information
Contact the company that provided the incorrect information as well as the credit-reporting agency, says Cunningham. "Do everything in writing and keep copies. Working with both the source of the information and the credit-reporting company can help ensure the issue is resolved quickly." Once a dispute is received, the bureau is required to investigate the claim. Any resulting change to your credit report after the investigation requires that you be notified and provided with a free copy of your revised credit report. The 30- to 45-day period allows time to mail documentation back and forth if necessary. The results of an investigation generally will be reported within 30 days. However, the time period can take up to 45 days if the consumer provides additional documentation supporting removal of the disputed item.

text: Macbeth / Bologna Thursday, October 15, 2015 8:00 PM 11:00 PM 20:00 23:00 Teatro Comunale di Bologna 1 Largo Respighi Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, 40126 Italy (map) Google Calendar ICS Macbeth is like a prism: it contains many different facets. That's what makes it interesting. It's a very dark subject, full of violence. And it's a tragedy. It's very complex. Verdi's opera is very precise. There is not a single superfluous word or note in it. It is highly concentrated. To allow its strength to come forward, you must be very careful not to tell a million things at a time. It has to be simple. You have to focus. Then, the complexity can unfold. It's not that there is no meaning; it's all full of meaning. There is a quote from Shakespeare's play that strikes me; Verdi has incorporated it in his opera. It's the moment when Macbeth is told that his wife has died. Here is his reaction:Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more: it is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing. — Robert Wilson More information and tickets here.

The things we read
Looking for ideas for summer reading? How about the reading lists of authors and celebrities? How about if you could then donate those books to U.S. Service Members and communities in need of new books?
Things We Read, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in the state of New York that aims to do just that.
In 2011, a couple of platoon leaders in Iraq had begun collecting book recommendations from their unit leaders to help soldiers get ideas of new books to read. They then founded www.ThingsWeRead.com, to continue the literacy effort back home.
At the site you can browse the reading lists of people like Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe, Big Bang Theory (and Blossom) actress Mayim Bialik, Reading Rainbow and Star Trek TNG actor Levar Burton, and many more. There's even a theoretical list of what JFK would be reading if he were alive today.
Through donations, the group purchases the books and ships them overseas and to communities in need here in the U.S. Their latest effort is the Young Leader Series, a partnership with The Lightning Press that will donate, over the next 6 months, $100,000 worth of SMARTbooks and leader books to cadets at West Point and ROTC programs nationwide.
Schools and organizations interested in participating should contact firstname.lastname@example.com. You can learn more about the organization, suggest a booklist, or suggest a community in need at their website.

Jack McDevitt's Deuce Shakes It With Wicked Big-Block Power
Infusing a combination of brutal horsepower with some of the finest lines to ever roll out of Ford's design center leads us to a Deuce, which presents itself as one man's vision of the perfect beast. For Jack McDevitt of Gilford, New Hampshire, exposure to the world of hot rodding started way back during the early '60s.
As a teen growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, he frequented countless local dragstrips and it didn't take long till he was hooked on the adrenalin rush of cars screaming down the quarter-mile. Jack's particular fascination revolved around Gassers and their impressive fire-breathing battles on the track. Hanging out at the Tasca Ford speed shop as well as being able to wander through the pits and meet his favorite racing legends, including Don Garlits, Bill Lawton, and the team members of Stone, Woods & Cook, obviously had an impact on him that followed him throughout his life.
With his first new car being a '66 Olds 442 with a W30 package, it wasn't long till he began burning up the streets and 'strips across New England. After setting NHRA records at Connecticut Dragway in F-Stock class in both 1966 and 1967, it was time to move on and venture into building Gassers. A nasty pairing included a '61 Ford Falcon with a straight front axle and 427ci Ford cammer, as well as a '52 MG TD sitting on a tube chassis powered by a stroked 301ci Chevy.
Having always been a fan of Deuce roadsters, he began to visit numerous national events to gather ideas for building his dream car. After pouring through what seemed to be hundreds of photos, he finally came upon images of Boyce Asquith's venomous roadster, which nailed the look he had been wanting. He was finally inspired enough to formulate the ideas from which his roadster would rise. Everyone knows that perfection doesn't come overnight and for Jack it took 12 years of dedicated work with many talented individuals to finally get his roadster fueled up and ready to hit the road.
Knowing the car would have an excessive big-block nailed to the 'rails Jack's first step was to contact New England Rod Shop in Bedford, New Hampshire, to build a rock-solid base. Starting with a set of Deuce Factory 'rails a custom frame was fabricated with modifications, including a stretched wheelbase, tubular crossmembers, and a stout Pro-Street rear section to add plenty of additional strength. For razor-sharp handling a 4-inch dropped Super Bell axle with '40 Ford spindles and a custom four-link accented with Aldan coilover shocks and a Posies slider spring gets the job done while Wilwood discs and calipers kill the rpm. Plenty of hard-core goods out back handle the abuse thanks to a Halibrand Champ 500 quick-change rear deftly matched to a custom four-link suspension, Aldan coilover shocks, and massive Wilwood discs and calipers to provide plenty of stopping power. Nothing says hot rod better than a set of genuine Halibrand Sprint wheels topped with mile-wide Hoosier rubber out back for when traction is needed.
The heart of any street shaker resides in the thunder it sends into the atmosphere. For an engine that would rekindle all of the years he spent cutting lights on the quarter-mile, Jack contacted Rick Moore of R&R Automotive Machine of Londonderry, New Hampshire, to build an evil bone-rattling big-block. Starting with a fresh 502ci V-8 block as a base, its guts were filled with a speed shop full of go-fast goods, including a Crower crank linked to Carrillo rods wearing J&E slugs while a Crane stick sets the beat. Brodix ported and polished aluminum heads topped with Crane rockers completes the mix while Street & Performance built the wicked top end featuring an 8-71 BDS huffer sucking plenty of air through a pair of Holley 850-cfm carbs crowned by a BDS scoop. An MSD ignition lights the fire while spent gases are dumped through a set of custom headers by New England Rod Shop, with 2-3/4-inch exhaust tubing and Flowmaster mufflers silencing the beast. A bulletproof TCI Automotive TH400 trans coupled to a chrome driveshaft by Street & Performance moves the gusto through a Hurst shifter so there's no waiting to summon its 800 dyno'd horsepower to the street.
With the rolling chassis fully loaded, it was time for a trip to Jim Lowrey's Hot Rods and Restoration in Tilton, New Hampshire, to bring an equal level of excellence to the body and paint. The team at Lowrey's massaged the Harwood body to perfection and followed by laying down a lustrous coating of DuPont red garnet crystal vibe to make the car a standout. If the devil is in the details, the Deuce goes straight to the head of the class, incorporating such signature items as a Duvall-style windshield, Cobra-style flip-top gas fill, and three-piece custom hood. Needing an interior that could match the car's gusto, Steve Pierce of One-Off Technologies in Gilford, New Hampshire, was given the nod to lay out plenty of butter soft leather complemented by loads of intricate details. Finally, pinstriping legend Larry Hook of Cumberland, Rhode Island, laid down the fine lines to add a look of sophistication to match the roadster's brutal horsepower. Since the Deuce's completion, Jack has burned plenty of high-octane fuel, laying down the miles, however pending projects led it to new owner Louis Malanga of Wayne, New Jersey, who is now the lucky holder of the keys.

Calculating Cup End Pushrods
If you install a new cam and your engine uses cup end pushrods, measuring them for length is extremely difficult. The size and shape of the cup varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, so measuring from the ball end to the cup end over the cup surface is a dangerous practice. The best strategy is to drop a 5/16-inch-diameter steel ball into the cup end and do all measuring over this ball, subtracting the 5/16-inch diameter (0.3125 inch) to figure the length.
Learn How To Channel Aggression Properly
Keep in mind that an aggressive camshaft will often be seen by a factory knock sensor as detonation. Most aftermarket EFI systems will allow you to turn off or reduce the sensitivity of the knock sensor for smoother and more efficient operation.
Tuning for Power
Tuning the main circuit for maximum power in a Weber carburetor is something that can be done by a series of road tests and a handful of jets. The simple rule of thumb for jetting Weber carburetors is: If you want to implement a change over the entire rpm range, you change the main jet. If you want to change the way the car feels at high rpm, you change the air corrector. Keep in mind that the air corrector is a finer adjustment than the main jet. As an example, one step upward in the main jet (richer) produces the same change in engine behavior as three steps down on the air corrector (less air: richer). A change of air corrector would be appropriate, for instance, if the engine pulls strong to 5,000 rpm and then goes flat. This would mean it's running lean at the top end; drop the air corrector three sizes or so, and you'll probably be able to buzz that engine right up to 7,000 rpm. If the engine feels sour all the way up, go one or two sizes heavier on the main jets.

BOSTON, Mass.—UMass Boston Softball (9-16) rallied from five runs down in game number one to earn their fourth-ever victory over Brandeis University (15-13) in a non-conference doubleheader split Friday evening.
The Beacons who trail the all-time series 27-4, fell behind 5-0 in the second inning of game number one, before coming all the way back to secure an 8-7 victory. Brandeis responded with an 8-0 mercy-rule victory in five innings in game number two, behind Nikki Cote's first complete-game shutout of the season.
Freshman Lauren Mitsiaris (Taunton, Mass.) and junior Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.) led the Beacons with three hits and two RBI on the day.
Game One: UMass Boston 8, Brandeis University 7
Zullo allowed seven hits, five walks and seven runs, but just one of the runs were earned. The junior right-hander also struck out five batters and kept the Judges scoreless over the final three frames.
Mitsiaris finished game one 2-3 with two runs and two RBI, while Capra ended the contest 2-2 with two RBI triples and a run scored. Senior third baseman Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.) had one her best games of the season, with one hit in one at-bat and a season-high three runs scored.
Brandeis raced out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning thanks to the first of four Beacons errors. With the bases loaded and one out after two walks and a Beacons' error, Anya Kamber lined a double into left-center field to plate two runners.
The Judges took advantage of another key mistake by the Beacons in the second inning to push their lead to 5-0. With two runners on and two down, Liana Moss lined a fly ball down the left-field line that just barely ricocheted off the foul pole, for her team-leading seventh home run of the season and a 5-0 advantage.
UMass Boston began their comeback in the bottom half of the inning with three runs of their own. Scola started the inning by being hit by a pitch and moved up to second on a wild pitch. Mitsiaris drove Scola home with an RBI single through the middle and came home two batters later when Capra belted an RBI triple into the left-center field gap. With Capra on third and two outs, Brandeis pitcher Melissa Nolan unleashed a wild pitch, and Capra scampered home to cut the deficit to 5-3.
Nolan (5-2) dropped her second-straight game, after allowing seven hits, six walks and eight earned runs through 4.2 innings.
After Brandeis scores single runs in the third and fourth innings to push their lead to 7-3, UMass Boston began their comeback in earnest in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Nolan walked the bases loaded in the fourth inning, but UMass Boston only managed one run, when Scola trotted home on a wild pitch with two down. Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) nearly cut into the deficit further, but her hard line drive was right at the third baseman-who made the play to get the Judges out of the fourth.
The Beacons tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take their first lead of the contest.
Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.) started off the rally with her team-leading third home run of the season over the left-field fence with one out.
Kelsey Svenson (Oxford, Conn.) followed with a walk and moved over to second on a Scola bunt single, and to third on a double-steal. With two runners in scoring position and one down, Mitsiaris put down a perfect suicide squeeze, with Svenson just barely beating the throw home to cut it to 7-6. Mitsiaris caught the Judges sleeping though and advanced all the way to second on the play-while drawing a throw from the catcher. The throw down to second wasn't in time and allowed Scola to dash home to tie the game 7-7.
Two batters later, Capra crushed another RBI triple to left-center field that plated Mitsiaris and made it 8-7 in favor of the host Beacons.
Zullo would take over from there, as she allowed just one base-runner in both the sixth and seventh inning, en route to her team-high fifth win of the year.
Game Two: Brandeis 8, UMass Boston 0 (5 Innings)
Cote was the story in game number two, as the junior pitcher struck out seven and scattered five singles over five innings in her complete-game shutout.
Madison Sullivan led the charge offensively with two hits, two runs and an RBI, as the Judges took advantage of four more Beacons errors to score six unearned runs.
UMass Boston starter Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.) took the loss, after allowing six hits and eight runs, two earned, while striking out two.
Sullivan helped the Judges get out to another 2-0 lead in the first, as she singled up the middle to score Kamber to push the lead to 2-0.
The Judges tacked on another run in the fourth, as Sullivan and Nolan recorded back-to-back doubles to push the visitor's lead to 3-0.
With the sun setting over the UMB Softball Field, Brandeis scored five more runs in the fifth inning to ensure a mercy-rule victory.
Cori Coleman and Kamber each recorded RBI singles in the inning and the Judges took advantage of three Beacons' errors to push their lead out to 8-0.
UMass Boston had their best chance to score in the fourth inning, when they loaded the bases with two down, but Cote was up to the task. Erika Vecchiet (Pequannock, N.J.), Svenson and Mitsiaris all singled, but Cote struck out a pair of batters to get out of the jam.
The Beacons will return to action Saturday at Noon when they host Plymouth State University on Senior Day. UMass Boston will honor Vecchiet and Scola after game number two in a special Senior Day Ceremony.

St. Patrick 's Day is around the corner, and for a celebratory meal, it's tough to beat the quintessentially Irish combo, corned beef and cabbage.
But while I love corned beef, I usually have it just once a year, as the hours spent braising typically put me off. This year however, in anticipation of the holiday I tried a whole new approach: cooking the corned beef in a slow cooker.
I must say I was delighted with the result. While the meat held its shape, it became perfectly tender. The cabbage softened and sopped up the cooking juices. The prep couldn't have been easier. On the bottom of the crock I arranged wedges of cabbage along with chunks of onion and carrot. Then I placed the pickling spices and corned beef on top of the veggies and added water to cover. After covering the cooker and setting it to Low, I ignored it for 8 hours, and was rewarded with a mouth-watering meal.
The best part? This method is so simple and fool-proof, I might just be tempted to make it throughout the year!

Day 2: Winter Meetings
For the Blue Jays, there was a lot of talking and idea floating on the first day of these Winter Meetings in Indianapolis. Toronto is keying in on possible trades right now and that will likely remain the focus as we head into Day 2 today.
Obviously, when the words "trades" and "Blue Jays" are in the same sentence today, the first thing that comes to mind is this whole Roy Halladay situation. It's not going away and the rumors will continue to pop up this week.
The one interesting rumor from Day 1 was the possible emergence of the Rays as a suitor for Halladay — perhaps as part of a three-team trade, but not necessarily. Names involved in the rumor from the Rays' end were pitcher Wade Davis and outfielder B.J. Upton. In reality, if there is any merit to this, Toronto would have more interest in Davis than Upton, and another Rays prospect would likely be involved.
Looking closer at a potential Rays-Jays matchup, it seems like it could be a fit. Think about it. As a general philosophy, Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos is willing to consider offering a window for teams to discuss a contract extension with his players, but he has said on the record that he would prefer to avoid over-complicating any deals.
The Yankees, Red Sox and Angels will likely want to have a contract extension involved in any potential Halladay swap, especially if the Jays' asking price remains steep. The same can't be said for the Rays. A) Tampa Bay doesn't have that kind of cash and B) Halladay might not want to talk about a long-term deal with a team coming off a third-place finish.
Halladay wants to pitch for a perennial contender for the World Series and he reportedly has a preference to be with a club that trains near his Florida home. Tampa Bay — two years removed from a World Series berth — would represent a one-year solution before Halladay hits the open market.
If the Jays do trade Doc, Anthopoulos also has to explain to the fanbase why he pulled the trigger. A trade to the rival Yankees and Red Sox — while still a realistic conclusion to all of this — would be a harder sell to Jays fans than a swap with Tampa Bay. It would also take the heat off the Jays if Halladay decides to sign with New York or Boston next winter.
Just a thought…
Here are some links from Day 1:
In Halladay talks, secrecy is critical
With ace in the hole, Jays target long-term gains
Barajas declines Blue Jays' offer
Don't forget to follow me on Twitter (@MLBastian) for all the latest Jays updates and check back here later for more on the day's happenings.
UPDATE: 7:55 pm
The Yankees stole the stage on Day 2 of the Winter Meetings, agreeing in principle to a three-team trade with the Tigers and Diamondbacks that will send center fielder Curtis Granderson to the Bronx.
That move does not necessarily mean that New York is about to pull itself out of the running for Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay — the hottest commodity on the open market. Speaking to Toronto, Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos acknowledged that no teams have ended any trade discussions on any of his players.
"I haven't been told by any team, from discussions and conversations we've had, that they are not involved and don't want to continue dialogue," Anthopoulos said. "I have not had a club approach me yet and say, 'That trade scenario we talked about, we're no longer involved. We don't want to be involved.'"
As part of the Yankees' latest blockbuster deal, New York outfield prospect Austin Jackson would head to the Tigers. The Jays had reportedly expressed interest in Jackson in talks about a potential Halladay deal. Anthopoulos indicated that the trade was not likely to impact the Jays' offseason plans.
"I don't think it will really change a whole lot," Anthopoulos said. "We're very specific in what our wants are and what our needs are, and New York's needs and ours aren't necessarily the same — the positions we want to fill, the long-term players that we want to put in certain spots."
The Yankees might not have informed the Blue Jays that they can no longer pursue Halladay, but the trade will likely lessen the chances of the star right-hander winding up in pinstripes. Halladay also has suitors in the Red Sox and Angels, perhaps the Phillies, and the Rays emerged on Monday as a possible darkhorse to land the pitcher.
ALSO OF NOTE: The Jays have called on Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit. Not huge news, since they've been linked to Doumit in rumors for a while. … Pitcher Brian Wolfe has elected for free agency. … Anthopoulos still has numerous talks going on the trade front, looking for young controllable players to help rebuild the Jays' core. Anthopoulos noted that he is also floating some three-team trades to help the process. … Anthopoulos met with Doc's reps at dinner on Monday night. … He has some trade offers currently on the table and has had a few free agents turn down offers.

The more I check out Wade Davis, the more I'm hoping this TB rumor is true and we do this deal. Davis could really be something special.
Too bad we can't deal Wells and put Upton in CF. I think Upton wants out of TB, the fall off in his offense numbers in the last year of so doesn't make a lot of sense compared to 2007.
Just smells like a personality conflict or it could be because they've kept him at mlb minimum, in spite of his mlb experience. After the year he had in 2007, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to be upset. Maybe a change of scenery gets him back to 2007 levels and if that happens, he'd be a great solution for lead off-of course that assumes we trade Wells
It would be a much harder sell to us as fans to send him to the sox or yanks for sure and the talent coming back would have to be off the charts to make sense at all. TB provides a 3rd option (though not as convenient as the Angels -different division) that would sit nice with the fan base and would make sense with the names involved. Alex would def abstain from flack if the Rays are unable to convince Halladay to stay past next year.
Either way…post-halladay baseball needs to begin asap for the Jays and us, the fans.
I've liked Upton since I first watched him play. A great piece to a Halladay trade, the man has plenty of talent. While I don't know anything about Wade, I trust that he is a potential ace in the making, or at worst a number 2 stater.
Granderson is a nice pickup for the Yankees. If I were them, I would go hard after Lackey. That should give them enough to repeat, without requiring Roy. As for the Sox, I think that they will go hard after Bay or Holliday. If they were willing to pay the price to get Roy, they would have offered the two pitchers the Jays want and taken Roy off the market by now. I think that our best hope for receiving a decent package lies with a peripheral team, like the Rays or Texas. I don't think that the Angels are a good fit with respect to prospects. No doubt Antho will have a lot to think about. I just hope that something happens sooner than later.
I agree on Granderson being a good deal for the Yanks, that guy could hit 40 hr's per year in that stadium. It also means the Yanks take on a contract costing $5.5 mill. and having the luxury of not bringing back either Damon or Matsui who cost them $13 mill. last year. So better performance, better speed, younger player and save cash at the same time. Looks like a winner to me.
It looks to me that Alex, if doing nothing else at these meetings, is at least getting Jays credibility back after JP blew it all to hell last June with his circus mentality. I suspect a number of GM's tested him, just to see if he was JP's prodigy or his own man. They now have the answer and it will help in the future.
I do have the feeling, however, that the best offer we got for Halladay was last June, just not that sure if we will get those same offers again. It will not be as easy of a trade to do as one would think, that is for sure, since all teams now value prospects more than in the past.
From the Angels on the Halladay front, here's the recap from DrunkJaysFans.com:
"Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times tells us that "Angels General Manager Tony Reagins did not rule out the possibility of trading highly touted young shortstop Erick Aybar, an apparent philosophical shift that could put the Angels in the driver's seat for Toronto Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay."
"I never said Aybar was the sticking point in that deal," Reagins said today at the winter meetings. "He has tremendous value for us, but Brandon Wood can play shortstop and third base, and Maicer Izturis can play shortstop, third base and second base, so there's some flexibility if we wanted to include any of those three guys in a trade.""

Congressman at Town Hall: 'The Federal Government Can Do Most Anything in This Country'
The United States is in the terrible situation we are today, where the Constitution is trampled daily, because the voters permitted it to get this way with the steady erosion of our Constitutional rights. As Chuck Baldwin proves in many disturbing articles, both Democrats and Republicans are to blame.
It appears we are under a curse, our Republic sick and dying, and the German-dominated United States of Europe will deal us the death blow before the King of the Jews, the King of Israel, comes and saves us from ourselves and our enemies and establishes the Kingdom of God.

Best place to raise your kids
Last Updated on Monday, 03 February 2014 15:15
The December 14, 2010, issue of Bloomberg Businessweek (www.businessweek.com) ranked Pullman for 2011 the best place to raise your kids in the state of Washington. The runner-up was West Richland.
The fifth annual rankings focused on small cities, towns and villages with populations larger than the median for the state but no greater than 50,000.
With schools of paramount importance to young families, the report cited Pullman High School as "highly regarded...its WASL scores average among the highest in the state."
The study considered only places where the median family income in 2009 was within 20 percent of the state median. According to the online article America's Best, Affordable Places to Raise Kids, "We emphasized a community's number of schools, school performance, cost of living, and crime statistics. We also accounted for factors such as job growth, air quality, ethnic diversity, and access to the surrounding county's parks, zoos, theaters, and other recreational facilities."

Why McAuliffe barely won
How the heck did that happen?
Most public polls leading up to Election Day had Democrat Terry McAuliffe coasting to victory, some by double digits, in the Virginia governor's race. Instead he squeaked by, beating Republican Ken Cuccinelli by less than 3 percentage points.
Story Continued Below
The much-closer-than-expected outcome blunts the narrative that this was a clean win for Democrats going into 2014 and guarantees an intense blame game among Republicans about what might have put Cuccinelli over the top.
( SEE RESULTS: 2013 Virginia governor's race)
Based on a review of returns, exit polls and conversations with operatives, here are six takeaways from the surprise election of the night:
Obamacare almost killed McAuliffe.
The main news stories of the last two weeks of the race were about the botched rollout of the health exchanges and troubling revelations about people getting kicked off their health plans.
Cuccinelli called the off-year election a referendum on Obamacare at every stop during the final days.
"Despite being outspent by an unprecedented $15 million, this race came down to the wire because of Obamacare," Cuccinelli said in his concession speech Tuesday night.
( VIDEO: Coverage & POLITICO analysis on Election Day 2013)
When President Barack Obama crossed the Potomac for McAuliffe on Sunday, he glaringly avoided even mentioning his signature accomplishment — trying instead to link Cuccinelli with the federal government shutdown.
Exit polls show a majority of voters — 53 percent — opposed the law. Among them, 81 percent voted for Cuccinelli and 8 percent voted for Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis. McAuliffe won overwhelmingly among the 46 percent who support the health care overhaul.
Cuccinelli actually won independents by 9 percentage points, 47 percent to 38 percent, according to exit polls conducted for a group of media organizations. They made up about one-third of the electorate.
"Obamacare helped close the gap," said Richmond-based strategist Chris Jankowski, the president of the Republican State Leadership Committee.
Cuccinelli might have won if he had more money.
Even before Cuccinelli delivered his concession speech, the candidate's close allies were beginning to blame outside groups for not helping out more.
( PHOTOS: Ken Cuccinelli's career)
McAuliffe outraised Cuccinelli by almost $15 million, and he used the cash advantage to pummel him on the airwaves. A lack of resources forced the Republican to go dark in the D.C. media market during the final two weeks.
The Republican National Committee spent about $3 million on Virginia this year, compared to $9 million in the 2009 governor's race.
The Chamber of Commerce spent $1 million boosting McDonnell in 2009 and none this time.
"If the Republicans would have rallied around the nominee instead of refusing to support Cuccinelli, he would have won," said a GOP source involved in the race.
A constellation of liberal interest groups, meanwhile, poured money in as McAuliffe's lead grew in the public polling. They wanted to claim credit for their particular issues, whether the environment or abortion. Mike Bloomberg's super PAC spent $2 million in the final two weeks on ads boosting gun control, for example.
( Also on POLITICO: McAuliffe edges Cuccinelli; Christie coasts)
The Republican Governors Association spent $8.3 million for Cuccinelli, compared to $5.2 million four years ago, to try making up for the fundraising disparity. But much of that money came earlier in the summer, and the RGA eventually stopped pouring cash into what looked like a losing campaign.
Cuccinelli personally was not a great fundraiser. Removing direct contributions from outside groups, McAuliffe raised $28 million to Cuccinelli's $11.7 million.
RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski defended the committee, saying that it has to make hard choices about how to spend limited resources.
"The RNC spent millions of dollars to fund the ground game efforts in both New Jersey and Virginia, working in coordination with both campaigns to identify and turn out voters," she said.

if it's light skewers you want, you need to try these guys:
These Brunico skewers are a good quality, nice-looking set that'll complement a posh wheelset well. Testing their claims of universal compatibility, I've paired them with eighteen- year old Campagnolo road and modern Shimano MTB hubs with no discernable problems.
Titanium rods not only keep the weight low but are phenomenally strong and resistant to corrosion, overcoming the problems of stretching that can occur with other metals. However, a liberal application of ti-prep or similar compound is recommended to safeguard against chemical seizure-especially paired with cross or mtb wheelsets.
However, while superbly tactile, the lacquered 3Kcarbon weave closures are an exposed cam design involving a curved plastic washer pressing against the toothed washer which in turn grips the dropout. This demands greater force to achieve the same security as traditional, enclosed designs- for this reason they wouldn't be my choice for anything other than a modern frameset with vertical ends and lawyers lips.
Similarly, our test pair has shown greater susceptibility to grit and other muck, requiring more frequent cleaning and lubrication to maintain a smooth action. On the plus side there's ample length to accommodate rear triangles ranging from 126 to 135mm wide and they posed no problems when paired with suspension forks.
The Brunico are undeniably beautiful skewers that add the finishing touch to an exotic wheelset but they're expensive in comparison with pure ti variants and time triallists or those seeking to purge every last gram from their bikes will be arguably better served by Allen key stub designs.
Pricey, if cosmetically stunning skewers adding the finishing touch to money's no object road wheels.

Make and model: Pro-Lite Brunico skewers
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The Brunico are lightweight titanium/carbon fibre quick release skewers designed to complement top-end road wheelsets.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
3K carbon weave exposed cam design, titanium rods 43g front 45 rear.
What you'd expect for the asking price.
43g front, 45 rear
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Performance is excellent with either road or mtb spacing and road or mtb hubs. However, grip wasn't comparable with closed cam designs on older frames with horizontal drop-outs and plain fork ends. Time triallists and those seeking to purge every last gram should look to stub-type designs.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Has the exotica factor and look superb on any decent quality wheelset.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
They're pricey relative to some competition and some would reason they're only worthwhile on a featherweight build or wheelset.

Would you consider buying the product? No

Economics (B.A., B.S.)
Economists study how people make choices in life when scarcity limits what is available. They look at a society's financial, industrial, and labor organizations; its distribution of income and ownership rights; its governmental activities; and its political and economic philosophies, and analyze how these and other factors influence the goods an economy produces, the resources it uses in production, and the distribution of its output. They also look at how incentives affect decisions relating to human behavior, such as whether to obey the law, get married, or have children.
Economic analysis leads to explanations, predictions, and policy suggestions. How are wages and prices set? Why do some cities boom while others decline? Why do we have an energy crisis? How should we use our exhaustible resources? How will consumers and corporations react to a tax cut? How can the crime rate be reduced? If we are to use our resources efficiently, what antitrust and government regulations should be enforced? What can be done to reduce inflation and unemployment? To prevent excess pollution? To achieve economic growth? To distribute income more equitably? In examining these sorts of questions, economics helps us to understand more clearly the choices available to us and the consequences of our decisions.
There is an abundance of career opportunities for an economics major.
Careers in business include consulting, banking, and other financial institutions, insurance, corporate strategic planning, real estate, journalism, management, marketing and public utilities.
Careers in government include consulting, publicly owned utilities, planning and forecasting, regulatory agencies, management, needs assessment, legislative staffs, judicial agencies, and executive support.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is delighted his work is bearing fruit as his team brought up their century of goals for the season.
City took their tally for the season from 99 to a remarkable 103 as they beat Cardiff 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium to stay within a point of English Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Pellegrini has made his love of attacking football clear since taking charge last summer and his free-scoring side are delivering impressively.
The Chilean said: "I think it is very important for the team.
"It is not easy to score 100 and 103 goals just a little bit past the middle of the season.
"It reflects how we think about this team must play and I think the players feel comfortable in what we are doing.
"We are always a creative team and we have chances every match to score a lot of goals.
"The first 45 minutes was one of the best 45 minutes we played this season. It is important to continue in the same way."
City led 2-1 at the interval.
They took the lead in the 14th minute when referee Neil Swarbrick - in a demonstration of the effectiveness of the Goal Decision System - indicated that Edin Dzeko's shot had crossed the line before Kevin McNaughton cleared.
It reflects how we think this team must play and I think the players feel comfortable in what we are doing.
Craig Noone scored a brilliant equaliser after a weaving run but Jesus Navas quickly responded.
Cardiff battled early in the second half but Yaya Toure and substitute Sergio Aguero made victory safe in the last 15 minutes, before Fraizer Campbell grabbed an injury-time consolation.
Pellegrini said: "I think we are in a very good moment, and the confidence of the whole team, not only 11 players, is very high at the moment.
"Of course if the season continues in this way in the last month there will be pressure for all the teams.
"I hope we will continue in this way. It will be a very close Premier League until the end."
Pellegrini was not overly concerned about the goals his side conceded.
He said: "It is better to be concentrating but this team is playing very often, a game every three days.
"Cardiff didn't have many chances to score goals. One in the last minute and one play they did in the first half.
"We missed five or six clear goals. It is better not to concede goals but it is not my first worry at this moment."
Solksjaer takes positives from Cardiff performanceCardiff's defeat left them bottom of the table but the competition is tight and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took plenty from their performance.
Solskjaer said: "We felt that with 15 minutes to go we had the crowd turning - not against them but they weren't sure of the three points.
"We made them make a few mistakes. It was a great response after the poor start we had.
"That start was disappointing, again. That mindset has got to change. We have got to come here and expect to play better than we did."
Cardiff's players complained after the award of the first goal, not about whether the ball had crossed the line but apparently because they felt David Silva had handled in the build-up.
Solskjaer said: "It is hard to say if it was a handball. If the referee makes a decision we can't feel sorry for ourselves. He makes the decision."
The Norwegian, appointed earlier this month, claims he was well aware of the battle he was likely to be facing to avoid relegation.
Solskjaer said: "I knew what I was up against when I came here.
"I didn't come here and think everything was going to be all-singing and all-dancing.
"It is a tough league but it is five points up to number 10, so still as tight as it has been.
"We have just got to make sure we keep performing like we did today."
Cardiff's next league game is against Solskjaer's old club, Manchester United, at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer said: "Every single one is a game you can take something from, as that might be the little point that can take you over the line towards the end.
"We will come back to Manchester in 10 days' time and give it a go."
