The going average hourly rate for a mechanic ranges from $80 to $100 an hour. After analyzing a bill that could also include expensive parts, many auto repair shop customers are left scratching their heads and wondering if they are being ripped off.
The more you understand how a repair shop breaks down and calculates their labor charges, the better chance you have of making sure you are getting a fair shake.
Why does a mechanic cost $100 per hour? How much of that does the mechanic take home? How is that figure determined?
How are labor charges determined?
The rate of $80 to $100 an hour is based off of several national labor guides that are published annually. The guides survey mechanics all around the country to come up with figures and average times to do repairs.
"Let's say you were going to go in and get a water pump job done. They're going to say, 'OK, that job takes two and half hours and the parts are 60 bucks,'" said Mark Larsen, a franchise training manager for Car X. "Well, where that two and a half hours comes from is your car and what an average tech with a good set of tools takes to do that job."
So, if a mechanic tells you the average time to replace your water pump is four hours, and you are suspicious of that, making a few phone calls to other shops to ask them what they estimate for time is a good, quick, easy way to double check.
But if a mechanic runs into a problem and it is going to take longer than what was originally expected, there could be extra labor charges if the problem is a result of poor maintenance.
"Let's say you have an engine you haven't maintained at all," said Larsen. "The coolant is rusted, and I go down to change your water pump and all the bolts are rusted, half the bolt's gone, and the coolant is so bad. I go to take your water pump off and two of your bolts break off, well guess what? It's now on you and whatever extra time it takes, that's extra."
Dealerships tend to charge more for labor, closer to the $100 per hour range, than independents.

The village of Geroskipou, which adjoins Paphos town, is one of Cyprus' best producers of the sweet, chewy candy made from thickened gelatin, sugar, honey, and chopped nuts.

James Joyce [1882-1941] is best known for his experimental use of language and his exploration of new literary methods. His subtle yet frank portrayal of human nature, coupled with his mastery of language, made him one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century. Joyce's use of "stream-of-consciousness" reveals the flow of impressions, half thoughts, associations, hesitations, impulses, as well as the rational thoughts of his characters. The main strength of his masterpiece novel, Ulysses (1922) lies in the depth of character portrayed using this technique. Joyce's other major works include Dubliners, a collection of short stories...

Smokey Mini Corn Muffins |
Corn Muffins are always a hit. These mini ones can be served as part of an appetizer assortment, are great with soups and salad or part of the main meal. The accompanying spreads add an additional layer of flavor, but the muffins are fabulous on their own. We have made them parve, but they can be easily made dairy. Ami Magazine invited KosherEye, along with five other cooks, to participate in a "Secret Ingredient" Cooking Challenge. Included in the group were cookbook authors, food columnists, and leading kosher bloggers. The challenge? To create a recipe in a little over one week that included the "secret ingredient" - Smokey Flavored Baked Bits made by The Quality Choice, a division of Baker |

Posts Tagged 'pseudo-intellectualism'
On the Unfortunate Decline of the Idea and the Public Intellectual
Concomitant with the rise of new forms of mass media are new tools for expressing one's opinion—on everything, but especially political matters. Twitter, Facebook, other social media sites and the Internet in general now make it easy to eviscerate traditional media's role in opinion dissemination and political commentary: to wit, the guardians of quality, allowing for the distinction, as it were, between good art and bad artifice. To be sure, mass media affords the common American a hitherto unprecedented voice in American politics, not to mention an opportunity to stay informed at a high level, but it also thrusts her into the position of political commentator, whose opinions we value often at a level previously reserved for the public intellectual, the social commentator, or the essayist (a long lost art after George Orwell). Doubtless, mass media has opened the space for the culture of political "pundits," operatives, commentators, polling experts, psephologists, and strategists. Indeed, these individuals inhabit our airwaves, engaging in their pseudo-intellectual vocation, caviling and carping over trifling matters—the tie someone sported and the "message" it either consciously or subconsciously sent, the meaning of an official's particular gesticulations as she delivered a speech, or the recent "beltway" canards and calumnies—with the constant benefit of infallible hindsight. While the American polity chugs along with historic problems, one finds these ubiquitous individuals continually missing the forest for the trees. Read the rest of this entry »

The descriptive fulva is Latin for "deep yellow, reddish yellow, golden, tawny". Many plants share this specific epithet, but one of the most familiar is the common ditch lily Hemerocallis fulva. The wild daylily is originally native to Asia, but has naturalized all over the world. The tawny orange-gold blossoms are a common sight each summer and are hardy and resilient to adverse conditions, almost to the point they could be considered invasive in some areas.
The flowering crabapple, 'Prairie Fire' is one of the most popular cultivars for good reason. It thrives in a number of conditions and climates, provides year-round interest and is excellent for wildlife gardens. Many gardeners report that it is more pest and disease resistant than other varieties too. It is a mid-season bloomer, so that tends to reduce the chances of the blossoms being affected by a late frost. 'Prairie Fire' can reach over 20' (6 meters) in good conditions, it prefers full sun and well-drained soil containing organic material. Hardy to -40F (-39.9C) and successful in winter climates where there are a number of days below 40F (4.4C) since winter chill is necessary for forming blossoms.

This was unanimously voted on by all members of Occupy Wall Street last night, around 8pm, Sept 29. It is our first official document for release. We have three more underway, that will likely be released in the upcoming days: 1) A declaration of demands. 2) Principles of Solidarity 3) Documentation on how to form your own Direct Democracy Occupation Group. This is a living document.
Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
Join us and make your voices heard!
*These grievances are not all-inclusive.

I think it is a mistake to personify the object of our statement as "they." We are not dealing with a cohesive group but a hegemonic system. Also, personification plays right into the "corporations are people" trick.
Suggested additions concerning discrimination

"They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on..."
it seems precisely fitting to add:
duration of unemployment, and credit score (even when that was damaged precisely due to the crisis perpetrated by Wall Street.)
Radical also means staying critical and not drinking anyone's kool-aid.

I have been occupying Wall St. since day 2, and I assure you that no GA vote is "unanimous."
I support the movement, but please will everyone be careful not to undermine our group by making ridiculous claims about 'unanimous voting' when we in fact don't even have a formal voting system!?
Seriously, we wiggle our fingers upwards or downwards to show approval or disapproval. Consensus is determined by whether most people present perceive that there is more upwards or downwards wiggling. This does not account for the many downwards wigglers who get drowned out, nor the many passive personalities who just feel downright silly wiggling their fingers.
We can show our unity in other ways besides exaggerating, such as by cheerfully sticking together even if you don't always get your way every time.
Please, NO Manifestos: K.I.S.S.

While not disagreeing with specific items...let's simplify. This is a hazard among many on the progressive side that often happens: We throw every conceived argument into a melange that soon becomes boring and forgettable. Let's develop an easy to remember, and repeat ...SHORT set of frames.
NOW, to define the 1% ...who are not just 'the rich' ( this feeds into the myths of common people, that dream about being rich someday, or who fool themselves that they ARE rich ), it might be constructive to promote some other defintion to help delineate. [ I have some history for coming up with new names that become part of the vernacular ].
The "1%" are what I have dubbed, the ANTI-PHILANTHROPISTS , but it is long. The root word 'philanthropy' comes from the Greek and literally means "love for mankind". Here are associated words with philanthropy and antonyms where applicable:
Humanitarianism, unselfish concern, donation,
Charity ( ant: stealing, taking ) , Generosity ( ant: greed, meanness, selfishness, stinginess ), Gift ( ant: forfeit, loss, penalty ) , Kindness ( ant: cruelty, harshness, meanness, barbarousness ).
I will be working on this defintion, but would appreciate others also conceptualizing this. Everyone wins when no one cares who gets the credit.
Corporal Thing A. 'Civilizationalist'

Once again... thank you for creating a collective consciousness through out this nation =D
It is clear society is screaming for some type of reform, what scares me is the many ideas and demands each individual possess. I feel the above demands and suggestions are too general and can be specified to target individual corporations; in "poisoning our food" there are organizations and protest specifically for that sole purpose (like The Millions Against Monsanto Org).
don't forget about the power of the consumer, If you buy it, they will make it....We need to educate those about the power of consumerism.
To clarify, monopolization refers to an offense under Sec 2 of the American Sherman Antitrust Act, passed in 1890. Sect 2 allows any person "who shall monopolize . . . any part of the trade or commerce among the several states, or with foreign nations shall be deemed guilty of a felony". If jurisdiction would abide by the laws and regulations set by the constitution TRUTHFULLY and justly, things would be better, but i feel the demands could target specific corrupt individuals like Commissioner Barney Frank.
In order to expose corruption, we need full transparency in all forms of government to expose wrong doings, justly, for the community.
we are doing the right thing by gathering massive amounts of passionate activists for one general cause, but now we need to condense our collective thoughts to one specific purpose. In due time.
on the fed level maybe this will help: http://www.pogo.org/investigations/government-corruption/

I have been occupying los angeles since day 2, and I assure you that no GA vote is "unanimous."
I support the movement, but please will everyone be careful not to undermine our group by making ridiculous claims about 'unanimous voting' when we in fact don't even have a formal voting system!?
Seriously, we wiggle our fingers upwards or downwards to show approval or disapproval. Consensus is determined by whether most people present perceive that there is more upwards or downwards wiggling. This does not account for the many downwards wigglers who get drowned out, nor the many passive personalities who just feel downright silly wiggling their fingers.
We can show our unity in other ways besides exaggerating, such as by cheerfully sticking together even if you don't always get your way every time.
Taco, your obviousl not part

Taco, your obviousl not part of OLA, because we do NOT use the downward fingers... sorry.
My words represent myself and not Occupy Los Angeles. @lizsavage on Twitter

The owner of a company linked to a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak cited his constitutional right to remain silent Wednesday before a congressional subcommittee investigating the firm and 32 deaths nationwide.
Barry Cadden, owner and director of the New England Compounding Center, was questioned by Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Cadden was subpoenaed to appear before the body, his spokesman said.
"Let me be clear, Mr. Cadden," Stearns said. "Again, are you refusing to answer the questions on the basis of the protections afforded to you under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution?"
"Under the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer on the basis of my constitutional rights and privileges," Cadden said.
Stearns: "Will you invoke your Fifth Amendment rights in response to all questions today?"
Cadden: "Yes."
Stearns then excused Cadden and advised him the subcommittee may recall him.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman," Cadden said.
The subcommittee is investigating what went wrong at the compounding company and why it was able to continue to function despite a history of problems.
The fungal meningitis outbreak has killed 32 people in seven states as of Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website. It also reports of a total of 438 cases linked to the outbreak.

FOUT when un-styled font is totally different size than styled
I'm using the good ol' Google WebFont Loader.
It loads fonts just fine and all is well with the actual loading and whatnot. However, I'm using a font that is very narrow compared to a basic Arial or Helvetica. So when it loads, hidden or not, it causes things to jump around a bit when it finally loads.
So what is the best way to deal with this? Add extra styles on the hidden elements to make them actually have a smaller font-size to keep things from jumping around when the thinner font is finally loaded?
The only thing I can think of would be to have things set at an opacity of 0 until you're able to load the fonts in. Sort of crappy, though.
There is a couple of things you could do. The first is to try to find a fallback font that has a somewhat similar x height than your web font. This should minimise the difference between the two fonts, and create less jumping. That is not always possible however.
The other option is to specify font-size-adjust [0]. There you can set the ratio for the fallback font (this takes a bit of trial and error) so that both fonts match as much as possible. This should also reduce the jerkiness. This doesn't have great browser support at present (Firefox and IE9+) though, so your milage may vary.
Or double check to see if GWF adds a class to the webfonts, if so, display: none;
Typekit adds
so you can just set display: none; in your CSS.Yes but if you display:none; some elements that are simply containers will collapse because they no longer have any content. And if you visibility:hidden; you will still see the jumping of elements as the narrow-width font is loaded.
This font-loader is great, and I can see what it wants to do, but I think I'm just missing a key step in making it happen smoothly.
Thank you guys for your help. My thoughts are reinforced now in terms of 'there will be trail and error'.
What about adding a class to your body that gets removed on page load. Then use that class to style the text to have negative letter spacing in your CSS?
I'll take a gander into that idea! I have had multiple ideas similar to this cross my mind, but I was just wondering if there was a "standard" way of getting things to settle into place because a lot of the time I've found that different fonts have different sizes even if they have the same font-size.
In every example you see people hide elements until the font is loaded. That's cool, but you still see the containers of the elements jump around. Nobody has really tackled a best-practice way of dealing with it that I've found. Maybe my Google skills are lacking haha
Anywho, thanks for the help :)

About Davy
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 609-937-4559
Hometown: East Windsor, NJ
Birthday: July 17
Bio: Davy James is the Editor of South Brunswick Patch. He is a lifelong New Jersey resident, born in Princeton Hospital and raised in East Windsor. He attended Hightstown High School and following graduation worked in the exciting, glamorous and challenging fields of gas station pump attendant and farm equipment parts sales.
Davy graduated with honors from Rutgers University with a degree in Journalism and Media Studies.
Davy got his start in journalism working as a reporter and staff writer for Packet Publications, where he spent three years covering South Brunswick. Davy looks forward to continuing his time in South Brunswick with Patch, where he will continue to report on the Township Council, schools and other goings on around town.
Davy is an avid sports fan, football junky and somewhat proud season ticket holder for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, where his hopes are perennially crushed by the football team. He was raised a Dallas Cowboys fan by his proud Texan father and Philadelphia Phillies fan by his mother. Davy continually tries to reconcile his hatred of the Philadelphia Eagles with his love for the Phillies and the conflicting opinions of the two fan bases.
Davy enjoys the mindless comedies of Will Ferrell, the gory mayhem of Quentin Tarantino movies and the books of Ernest Hemingway. Before finally buying an iPod, Davy spent countless dollars replacing his worn out Nirvana CDs, which he listens to on near constant repeat.
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Politics: I am a registered Democrat who is liberal on some issues and conservative on others. I don't believe any reasonable person can make all of their political decisions based on one overarching philosophy. I believe in listening to both sides and making an independent decision based on fact and not party lines.
Religion: Non-religious.
Local Hot-Button Issues:
What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
The difficulties both the Township Council and Board of Education face with balancing the services and programs they provide with the need to keep property taxes down. The need to control development in town versus the necessity to bring in clean ratables. Like anyone who has driven through South Brunswick during rush hour or close to it, when is Route 1 finally going to be widened?

This helps. It's actually marketed for people who have colostomy bags, but it works on cats too.
I put a few drops of chlorophyll in fresh water every morning and it really takes the edge off both their shit and their piss. You can't put a lot in on Monday and leave it until Friday. Fresh water and a couple drops each day.
It's little pricey, buts lasts for ages, and is worth it. It's also helpful if you have a cat who lives to burst anal sacs all over your happiness bubble.
Do not inadvertently pick up the mint flavor.
Sold in most pharmacies, one brand or another.

They came from all across America: from Connecticut to Florida to Illinois, and many points in between.
One had been in the Marines for nearly four and a half years, another for just a few months. Many served in Afghanistan, earning numerous honors before making it safely back home to the United States.
On Wednesday, the military released the names of the seven Marines killed Monday night during a training exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot in western Nevada. They were all under 26.
"Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of our fallen angels," said Lt. Col. Andrew J. McNulty, commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment.
Those killed are:
Lance Cpl. David P. Fenn II: The Polk City, Fla., resident joined the Marines in June 2010 and was promoted nine months later. In that time, he'd deployed to Afghanistan where, among other honors, he earned a NATO Medal-ISAF Afghanistan and Afghanistan Campaign Medal. The mortarman was 20.
"Remember him as he was and as who he could have been and in the future," retired Camp Lejeune Marine George Barrows told CNN affiliate WITN. "After all, he did it for our country."
Pfc. Joshua M. Martino: The 19-year-old from Clearfield, Pa., was a mortarman in the regiment. He joined the Marines in July, but already had earned the National Defense Service Medal and Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Friends said Martino wanted to be a Marine all his life and joined the Corps right out of high school, affiliate WTAJ reported.
"I not only salute him in his passing, but I salute everyone ... in the armed forces today," said Cmdr. David Gralla of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 813.

Years ago I lived as an intentional pessimist. I expected things to go wrong, promises to be broken, traffic to be heavy, and life to be difficult. I honestly felt well prepared by viewing life this way. I was never disappointed when things went wrong, because I expected it. However, shortly after making a life-changing decision for my family, I made another decision to leave my pessimism behind and view the glass as half full, rather than half empty. I intentionally enjoyed every day to the fullest, looked for the positive in every disappointment, and began to teach my children how to do the same. It took some practice to "act as if (things were great)" but within a few months, I was able to find and appreciate the silver lining in every cloud. I pointed out those silver linings, to ensure that my children would grow up searching for silver, no matter what struggle lay ahead of them. It was amazing to feel the change in attitude which resinated throughout the house. Look for things in every day that you appreciate, and say how grateful you are for those things, right out loud! Ask your child what he is grateful for throughout the day, so he begins to learn an attitude of gratitude at a young age. Don't wait for New Year's Eve to make a resolution to live happier. Brighten your spirit, and help your child grow with attitude. Read the entire article "We all should give thanks every day".

Introduction | Measurements | Comparisons | Conclusion |
In the Nikon lens line-up, the two Nikkor lenses compared here offer very similar specifications with the exception of the maximum aperture. Comparing them side-by-side shows where the extra expense is justified in going for the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G. Looking at the overall DxOMark scores on the D3x, the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G is at the top with 29 while the Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D only manages 23. The Zeiss lens fits in the middle, scoring 25.
In terms of sharpness the 28mm f/1.8G manage 19P-Mpix and is at the top end of the table for wide-angle primes. The 28mm f/2.8D, with a score of 14P-Mpix is down at the lower range of the table (-however given the lower price point and simpler optical construction this is to be expected). The Zeiss with 16P-Mpix fits in the middle.
The distortion scores between the three lenses are very similar - sufficiently so that there would be no obvious difference in final image prints. In the lens shading, or vignetting, results however, there is an interesting switch between the Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D and the Zeiss, with the lower priced Nikkor scoring -1.8EV to the Zeiss' -2EV. Both though are beaten by the Nikkor AF-S 28mm f/1.8G scoring -1.7EV and hence offering the most even light transmission across the image frame.
Looking at the Chromatic Aberration scores, again the familiar order is restored, with the 28mm f/1.8G scoring 10µm to the Zeiss' 12µm and the 28mm f/2.8D's 17µm. With these scores, all three will show some level of Chromatic Aberration, but it will be least intrusive on the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G images. For CA measurements, a score of 5 is determined to be noticeable and corresponds to around 1pixel of CA around high contrast edges on most cameras, so with the 28mm f/1.8G you can expect up to 2pixels of CA around high contrast edges.
Overall, the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G provides the best results of these three in all lens performance tests.

Fine body choice
The D3x is certainly not discontinued, it is still the flagship for low iso = Landscapes and portraits for pro photographers, who need a solid body, much more solid than D800

Why did you attach new lenses to already discontinued D3X instead of testing them with D800[E]?
The same is with canon. 5D Mark III may be used instead of rather old Mark II. Reply |

It has been nearly 17 months since Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat Group joined forces with Chrysler emerging as a new company with CEO Sergio Marchionne at the helm.
You may be curious about what the company has been up to since then. The short answer is, plenty. While the launch of the all-new 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee kicked off a torrent of new and refreshed vehicles about to hit the showroom floor, our manufacturing side has been literally working overtime implementing World Class Manufacturing to boost quality, efficiency and productivity as the company invests millions to update equipment and processes.
Here is a quick catch-up on what may have been missed.
Since June 2009, Chrysler Group has made significant progress as a renewed player in the automotive industry. This includes reporting an operating profit of $326 million for the first half of 2010 and a $239 million operating profit for the period ending September 30, 2010, as well as announcing numerous investments in U.S. facilities that account for more than $2.1 billion.
Let's take a closer look at these Chrysler Group
investments and the new and retained American jobs that
December 2009
• $179 million invested at Global Engine Manufacturing
Alliance (GEMA) plant (Dundee, Mich.). More than 150 new jobs
May 2010
• $43 million invested at Kokomo Casting Plant and Kokomo
Transmission Plant (Kokomo, Ind.). Nearly 400 new positions to be
filled primarily by Chrysler workers on layoff
• To keep up with demand for its newly launched 2011 Jeep
Grand Cherokee, a second shift of nearly 1,100 jobs was announced
at Jefferson North (Detroit) Assembly Plant starting in July
June 2010
• Additional $300 million invested in Indiana Transmission
Plant I and the Kokomo Casting Plant (Kokomo, Ind.). Nearly 1,200
jobs retained
July 2010
• Chrysler Group announced Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly
Plant (SHAP), previously designated for closure in 2012, will
remain open and a second shift of nearly 900 jobs will be added in
the first quarter of 2011. In addition, suppliers will add nearly
500 jobs to support SHAP production
October 2010
• Chrysler Group announced a potential investment of $1
billion in SHAP and surrounding stamping facilities as well as its
GEMA facility
• Most recently, Chrysler Group announced a $600 million
investment in its Belvidere (Ill.) Assembly Plant. This plant will
produce future products, beginning in 2012 and nearly 2,000 jobs
will be retained
Moving on from investment talk, Chrysler Group has a lot to offer by way of new and recharged Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram cars and trucks.
The company set the bar high in November 2009 when it laid out an aggressive plan to renew and refresh 75 percent of its current vehicle line by the end of 2010 and 100 percent of the portfolio by the end of 2012. Since then it has been working full steam ahead to turn that goal into a reality.
The 2011 product barrage started with the introduction of the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee in May 2010. This vehicle was quickly awarded a 'Top Safety Pick' from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in June, solidifying a turn in the right direction for American manufacturing and the Chrysler Group.
In July, Fiat North America rewarded its long-time U.S. enthusiasts with an opportunity to reserve one of 500 special-edition vehicles, the Fiat Cinquecento 'Prima Edizione'. Keeping with the theme of paying homage to its legendary brand enthusiasts, that same month, Chrysler Group introduced the Mopar® '10 Challenger and offered 500 special-edition cars to be built by pre-order for loyalists.
In August 2010, the company revealed a few sneak peeks at the new architecture and styling of the 2011 Dodge Durango. Next it unveiled the new version of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited both featuring an all-new interior and upscale appearance courtesy of a body color removable hardtop.
The company really ramped up expectations in October when it shared photos of the highly-anticipated 2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan and the amped up Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. Later that month, it continued its product onslaught by unveiling the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan and the newly overhauled 2011 Dodge Avenger. In both vehicles, the revamped interior takes the front seat, followed closely by the redesigned exterior and upped performance attributes.
The company ended October on a high-note when it swept the competition in every category entered at the Texas Auto Writers Association's (TAWA) Texas Truck Rodeo. The new 2011 Ram Laramie Longhorn took home top honors as "Truck of Texas" while the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee claimed the "SUV of Texas" spot. In the remaining categories, the Ram brand reigned supreme, securing a plethora of awards including Full-Size Truck of Texas, Heavy-Duty Truck of Texas and Luxury Truck of Texas.
In just a few short months, Chrysler Group has come a long way in making impressive strides in the right direction. Momentum keeps rolling and we have no intention of slowing down. Until next time…

The Women's Studies Program facilitates research and course development about women and gender-related issues, coordinates the interdisciplinary Women's Studies undergraduate and graduate instructional programs, and works with local, state, and national groups on issues of importance to women.
UWM was the first campus in the UW System to initiate a Women's Studies program in 1974. Today, students at UWM can pursue an undergraduate Women's Studies major and minor, a Masters in Women's Studies, a Graduate Certificate through the Graduate School, and a joint Masters in Women's Studies and Library and Information Studies. Currently Women's Studies offers over 100 core and cross-listed courses drawn from over thirty departments on campus, taught by over 90 affiliated faculty and staff members. Approximately 4,000 students enroll in Women's Studies courses each year.
Why Study Women's Studies?
- Because it can help you to identify and assess gender-based assumptions and biases and to recognize their social, cultural and individual consequences.
- Because it can teach you to analyze and integrate perspectives and bodies of knowledge across disciplines, and develop your critical thinking skills in ways that will complement and enhance your training in any other field.
- Because it can prepare you for graduate study or for careers in non-profit organizations, businesses, the creative arts, education, government and public policy, journalism, law, social work, and more.
- Because Women's Studies can empower you to participate in public debate and act for social change.

Postponed Hearing Could Delay Accused Perry Hall Student Shooter's Trial
A hearing to decide whether adult charges against 15-year-old Robert Gladden will be changed to juvenile charges has been postponed a second time.
A hearing to determine the state of charges against 15-year-old Robert W. Gladden, Jr. has been postponed a second time, and could cause a delay in his criminal court trial, Baltimore County Assistant State's Attorney John Cox confirmed on Thursday.
Gladden is accused of opening fire inside Perry Hall High School's cafeteria on the first day of school and seriously injuring another student. He was charged as an adult with nine counts of first-degree attempted murder, among other charges, in the Aug. 27 incident.
A juvenile waiver hearing for Gladden was first scheduled for Nov. 11, then postponed and rescheduled for Jan. 3, then postponed again. A rescheduled date for the hearing has not yet been determined, Cox said.
During the juvenile waiver hearing, Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Robert Cahill, Jr. will make a final decision on whether Gladden will continue to be charged as an adult or be tried as a juvenile. If tried as a juvenile, Gladden could face significantly less jailtime and media scrutiny.
Delays in determining the state of charges against Gladden will likely lead to a delay in his criminal court trial, currently scheduled for Jan. 30, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, Cox said.
Cox said he plans to continue to argue that Gladden be tried in adult court, but added that the judge will factor age and available treatment programs into his decision.
Investigators said Gladden brought a disassembled double-barrel shotgun and a bottle of vodka to school in his backpack on Aug. 27. During the first scheduled lunch, he allegedly randomly opened fire in the cafeteria, striking and seriously injuring 17-year-old special needs student Daniel Borowy. Staff members stopped the attack by tackling Gladden and holding him until he was arrested, police said.
The incident caused a national outcry and several charitable and memorial events followed.
Months after the shooting, Gladden remains at the Baltimore County Detention Center, Cox said. He appeared in a bail review hearing in September, but was denied bail pending a mental evaluation. A new bail review hearing was not scheduled.
Gladden was formerly represented by both Columbia attorney Clarke Ahlers and Lutherville attorney George Psoras. Ahlers's office confirmed, however, that he is no longer involved in the case.
Psoras's office was not immediately available for comment on Gladden's juvenile waiver hearing.
Days after the shooting, Psoras told the Associated Press that Gladden was a victim of bullying and never intended to harm other students when he brought a gun to school.
Police previously denied these claims, announcing that bullying was not believed to be a factor and that Gladden acted deliberately.

Can someone answer for me why a person would bring a gun to school if NOT for the intent of harming someone?! It's absurd to say he "didn't intend to harm other students when he brougth a gun to school." It's clearly not something he brought in just for show and tell.

Just wondering if this perp was a devil worshiper. Many of these school shooters were associated with satan worship. First thing I'd do is cut that hair back to a crew cut and then try him as a man. Anyone who consumes vodka by the bottle and carries a shotgun is definitely old enough to be tried as a man. By the way, I'd also call a priest and give an excorcism. You take God out and you put satan in. Bring back prayer to schools now.
12:17 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Really with the Satan/God stuff? The bigger issue here is that these people who do these things have problems mentally. God being taken out of school has nothing to do with it. Believing in God doesn't automatically equal a moral compass. Just like being atheist doesn't automatically make you evil.
I'm so tired of people blaming these things on everything but where the fault should be. It is not the lack of god. It's not the music. It's not the video games. It's not movies or TV. It's that the person who did the horrible act is screwed up and didn't get the help they needed. Normal, sane people don't do stuff like that. If it was any of the reasons above then we would have SO, SO many more people running around killing for no reason. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?

12:45 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
I don't know about the devil stuff but I do agree on some points. Cut his hair to a buzz cut and try him as the adult he "wants" to be. Make this trial MORE front page news than the incident itself, throw him in jail for a long time and throw in all the law books on top! If his trial, conviction and LIFE sentence are public enough maybe, just maybe, some other young punk that thinks he will get off easy as either mentally ill, bullied or that he will get a light sentence as a juvenile
1:52 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
FYI, there is no law against students praying in school. All are free to do so (at appropriate times) and they may pray to whichever God they choose.
Not sure what his hair has to do with anything, but I would be very surpised if his hair is not cut very short while he is in custody.
I have no problem with him being tried as an adult, but due process must be followed just as it would be if any of us were accused of a crime. We are fortunate to live in a country where indictment, trial, conviction and sentence are not simply pro forma acts on the way to locking someone away for life.
Now please excuse me while I tug on my Nomex suit in preparation for being flamed.
2:08 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Evets, you are so right. As a matter of fact, it is unconstitutional in Maryland to prevent it.
Maryland Declaration of Rights.
Art. 36. That as it is the duty of every man to worship God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to Him, all persons are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty; wherefore, no person ought by any law to be molested in his person or estate, on account of his religious persuasion, or profession, or for his religious practice, unless, under the color of religion, he shall disturb the good order, peace or safety of the State, or shall infringe the laws of morality, or injure others in their natural, civil or religious rights; nor ought any person to be compelled to frequent, or maintain, or contribute, unless on contract, to maintain, any place of worship, or any ministry; nor shall any person, otherwise competent, be deemed incompetent as a witness, or juror, on account of his religious belief; provided, he believes in the existence of God, and that under His dispensation such person will be held morally accountable for his acts, and be rewarded or punished therefor either in this world or in the world to come.
Nothing shall prohibit or require the making reference to belief in, reliance upon, or invoking the aid of God or a Supreme Being in any governmental or public document, proceeding, activity, ceremony, school, institution, or place.
6:44 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Thank you for the reference Sanchez. Hope Mr. Day pays especial note to first part of the last sentence of your post: "Nothing shall prohibit or require..."
Of course in my classroom, most student probably pray that I was in a good mood when I made the test they are taking on quiz day :-)
7:53 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
Evets, this is something that needs work in Martyland. I would like to hear anyone's criticism of that right we all posses. And if it should be applicable today. You know, the musket AR15 argument? The Gutenberg Press the internet argument. The right to privacy in your home your RV argument.
I would also like to know if anyone feels their children's rights have been violated in their schools. Has anyone tried to post in the hallways a child's religious based project that was refused. I have no concern which religion.
"Nothing shall prohibit or require the making reference to belief in, reliance upon, or invoking the aid of God or a Supreme Being in any governmental or public document, proceeding, activity, ceremony, school, institution, or place."
"School" is specifically noted!
8:11 pm on Friday, January 4, 2013
I have never in my almost 30 years of teaching seen anyone "knowingly" violate this law. I will admit that some teachers are ignorant of certain laws and rights and they might believe that no religious activity of any kind is allowed anywhere, anytime in a public school. The only instance I have seen was many years ago when a young teacher told a student she (the student) was not permitted to read a Bible during SSR time. This matter was quickly cleared up and no problems ensued.
Our school has had after-school clubs/organizations for students to join together to discuss their religions, etc. There has never been any problems with this. A teacher is present, but only as a monitor to ensure students are safe and in an adult's supervision.

It seems eople are far too quick to throw out the mental health treatment angle appraoch as the end all be all. All you ever hear is people saying we were in counseling we are getting counseling and on and on their seems to be no end to the people who need it. I would like to see a much much higher cure rate before we just assume that with counseling all of this could have been avioded. Were there no mentally sick people 30 years ago?

He has been offered the help through elementary and middle school, it did no good. Throw him in jail as an adult, this run around is stupid. While you are at it give his parents and stepfather community service or jail, whichever is faster, for not taking care of their son and having fire arms available to him.

[Solved] Help connecting dots
Hello, I feel I am very close to getting my js to work.
This is what i started with: $('article p, article .font-btns').hide(); var _this = this; $('article h1').addClass('pointer').click(function() { $(this).siblings().slideToggle('slow').parent().toggleClass('expanded'); });
And i'm trying to implement the functionality of this here. var _this = this; // because this will point to a different object inside the callback $(this).siblings().slideToggle('slow', function() { $(_this).parent().toggleClass('expanded'); });
Much thanks.
Can you hook up a Codepen please. And explain what you're trying to achieve in a clearer fashion.
http://codepen.io/wragen22/full/sqrlD I am trying to get the background color and paragraph info to slidetoggle up all at once. Currently you can see the background color will dissapear and then the div will slide up. Instead of in sync.
I don't get it it looks fine to me and can you explain it in more detail
the current code - when the div is expanded and you click to close, the background disappears first and then the div will slide up to a close. Instead of a synchronous slide up with background and text. Apparently I can fix this issue with a callback. Just not sure how to do this.
I'm no jQuery guru, so I'm sure this could be cleaned up, but this should accomplish your goal:
$('article h1').addClass('pointer').click(function() { var $article = $(this).parent(), $siblings = $(this).siblings(); if ($article.hasClass('expanded')) { $siblings.slideToggle().promise().done(function() { $article.removeClass('expanded'); }); } else { $article.addClass('expanded'); $siblings.slideToggle(); } });
