6-3/250 DE prospect from Centennial HS in Corona, CA
He actually played his junior season at a high school in Samoa. He moved to the states earlier this spring, and started getting recruited immediately.
Ole Miss was his first BCS offer but then USC offered him earlier this month. One day later he committed to the Trojans, telling Scout that he grew up following the Trojans and has always been impressed by all the Samoan players who have gone through their program.
The Miami offer probably doesn't mean much to him. With kids like this, you have to beat the dream school to the punch. If Miami had offered long before USC and established a good relationship with him, they could probably make it interesting. However, the offer came after USC and after his commitment which is going to make it very difficult for Miami to have much of a chance.

Welcome. We might be seeing you over in the e90 forum...
If you ask over there, you are going to get 335i about 10 to 0 or more.
I'll go against the trend and say 328i.
I've test-driven and autocrossed both. The big difference is power. Other than that they can be very similar if you option them out the same.
On the street, I preferred the slower NA car. The turbo's power is entirely useless here in Atlanta.
On the autocross track, you will go faster with a 335i. No question. Still I found the 328i more fun. The 328i is not a slow car....
The 335i has more of an exhaust note if you care about that sort of thing.
Then there is the price.
With our Miata coming off lease in 2 months we are shopping for a replacement.
Current candidates:
128i 'vert; 128i coupe, 328i coupe, Mini Cooper Clubman, another X3, another Miata, RX-8, clean e30.
X3 is only going to happen if we find out we can't get another e83 X3 for fall 2009.
Still have to look at the VW...
The models and equipment (standard and optional) illustrated in this post reflect my misunderstanding of vehicles supplied by BMW AG to the German market. In other EU member states, the truthyness of my posts may vary. Please ignore this post. Subject to change.

"One of the things that concerned me going in was having not played and was he going to be able to adjust to the speed of the game, was he going to be able to do that? He did a good job of that. However, he didn't set his feet on occasion, kind of threw across his body, hurried some of the throws. He felt like the timing was kind of running down on some things route-wise, and he got in a hurry to make some throws. I think in another week or so he'll make those throws, they'll be more accurate throws."
Coughlin said the Giants dropped six of Manning's passes, including five in the first half. Manning took responsibility for those miscues. So did tight end Jeremy Shockey - at least on those balls thrown to him.
"We should have made the catches," Shockey said. "He's a competitive person; he's going to say that. But he's a pleasure to play with. He's going to be here a while and a lot of people in this locker room are going to be here a long time. We just have to straighten some things out and make plays for him. When he makes passes, it's our job to catch them, wherever they are. There are no excuses for whatever ball we dropped."
Like everyone connected with the Giants, Shockey is excited about Manning's ability and potential.
"As a young quarterback coming in, Eli played well enough to win the game," Shockey said. "Myself - we left a lot of plays out there.
"He had confidence. He did everything this organization asked him to do. It's hard, because he played a great game. He played well enough for us to win and the skill positions - myself - we didn't really make plays for him and we didn't really help him out as much as we should."
"I'm encouraged by how we all played in the second half, especially Eli," running back Tiki Barber said. "In the first half we put ourselves behind the eight ball and it wasn't an easy situation for him. We came back hard and we played hard and played with a lot of effort. We, unfortunately, couldn't get it done. But I think Eli played great. He made some right decisions. He responded well."
Manning said he was as low-key and calm on game day as he was throughout the week, when he showed little emotion about his promotion.
"I didn't get too nervous or too pumped-up," he said. "I was trying to get the ball out of my hand quickly and make fast decisions and fast reads. For the most part, I think I did that. Sometimes I was a little too hurried, trying to get the ball out of my hand too quickly."
Once he becomes more comfortable as the starter, those facets of his game should improve.
"I have to get better," Manning said. "The more I work with these guys and these receivers, the more comfortable I'll be, and the better timing we'll have with each other."
Slow starters: Manning was the 18th quarterback to start a game for the Giants in the Giants Stadium era (including Craig Morton and Norm Snead, who joined the team earlier and were still on the team when the Stadium opened in 1976). Manning is the fourth quarterback in a row to lose his debut, joining Kerry Collins, Jesse Palmer and Kurt Warner. Overall, Giants quarterbacks are 8-9-1 in their starting debuts.
High praise: Jeremy Shockey sees really big things in Manning's future.
"He's a pleasure to play with," he said. "He does everything right and we can't afford to do anything wrong when he makes perfect passes. When I drop them and people drop his passes, you have to expect where the ball is going to be, because he's going to put it where the defender is not going to be. So we have to get used to that. His mobility is great. He can get out of the pocket and make plays. I'm confident in him, I want him to be confident in me.
"I'd rather play with him than anybody else in the NFL right now. He's going to be special."
Been there, done that: "I think Eli is definitely going to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league and be able to develop into the quarterback that possibly could be better than his brother, and I just know that he prepares himself to be better than his brother," said Donovan McNabb, the second overall pick in the 1999 Draft. "I think things will work out well for him."
For starters: Manning was unable to duplicate the success of his father when he made his first NFL start against Atlanta. Archie Manning won his first NFL start, for a New Orleans Saints team that finished 4-8-2 in 1971. Eli's brother Peyton lost his initial start for the Indianapolis Colts in 1998.
Here's how the Mannings did in their NFL starting debuts:
* Archie Manning was 35-101-3 (.263) as an NFL starter. Peyton was 61-45 (.575), plus 2-4 in the playoffs.

New York City restaurants earn record number of Michelin stars
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A record 76 New York City restaurants racked up coveted Michelin stars on Wednesday, led by a handful of acclaimed Japanese eateries and hot spots outside Manhattan and cementing the Big Apple's reputation as a premier global dining destination.
In the 11th edition of its New York City restaurant guide, to be launched on Thursday, Michelin handed stars to three more restaurants than the prior edition.
"The impressive number of different styles of cuisine, a total of 61, found throughout all five boroughs confirms New York's position as one of the world's most exciting dining destinations," said Michael Ellis, the international director of the Michelin Guides, in a statement.
Michelin rates restaurants in 24 countries and its stars are an internationally recognized sign of quality. Updated guides for San Francisco and Chicago restaurants will launch on Oct 21 and Oct 27 respectively.
Michelin awarded three stars, its highest distinction for "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey" to the same six restaurants as in the prior year's edition: Eleven Madison Park, Jean-Georges, Le Bernardin, Masa and Per Se in Manhattan, and Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare in Brooklyn.
The next tier of New York City restaurants that were each awarded two Michelin stars for their "excellent cuisine, worth a detour," grew to 10 from nine in the previous edition, with the addition of The Modern, part of the renowned Museum of Modern Art.
In the one-star category, assigned to a "very good restaurant in its category," Michelin named 10 newcomers. This brings the number of one-star eateries in New York City to 60, two more than the previous year.
Four of these first-timers offer Japanese cuisine include Cagen, Hirohisa and Tempura Matsui for turning tempura into "an art form," while Sushi Yasuda was commended for its "exemplary" sushi. Continued...

Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas apparently thinks he's in a competition to see which member of Congress can be the biggest douchebag. And let's just say he's the leader in the clubhouse after this move. He's actually going to have Ted Nugent in the House chamber with him for Obama's State of the Union speech.
Musician and gun advocate Ted Nugent will be Congressman Steve Stockman's guest at Tuesday evening's State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama. Nugent will be available to speak to the media before and after the Address.
"I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama," said Stockman. "After the Address I'm sure Ted will have plenty to say."
I'm sure the Secret Service will be thrilled to hear that a guy they had to interview as a potential threat after he said "Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun" is going to be in attendance. And who said of Hillary Clinton, "Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch." He also called Dianne Feinstein a whore. And a sitting Congressman thinks this is the guy who should be invited to the State of the Union.

World Chefs: Terry Walters dishes up judgment-free vegan fare
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Terry Walters, clean-food chef, educator and author of the new cookbook "Eat Clean Live Well," says her cooking career started as a necessity and became a passion.
The more than 175 recipes in her third book continue in the vegan, gluten-free vein that yielded best sellers "Clean Food" and "Clean Start."
It all started, Walters said, when she was diagnosed with high cholesterol some 30 years ago.
"I was trying to figure out what is healthy, and then how to make it taste good," the 48-year old said. "The palate of foods that I was able to work with was made quite small by my own health issues and then with my children, who had a number of food sensitivities."
A James Beard Foundation Award finalist, Walters, who lives outside Hartford, Connecticut, spoke about her trial-and-error culinary education, her tips to make healthy food delicious, and why she does not subscribe to the vegan label.
Q: What is eating clean?
A: For me it is foods that are minimally processed so we can get maximum nutrition ... For one person, cleaning up their diet might mean getting artificial ingredients out of their processed food; for another it might mean getting rid of processed food altogether. There's no judgment here. It's not a trend. It's a return to understanding of what food is, how it works in the body and how we can make it delicious so we can be healthy and happy.
Q: Why did you write this book? Continued...

Hunt & Darton's pop-up café was an essential stop at this year's Fringe, run by the two eponymous lassies who wear pineapple dresses and fetching hats made of real pineapples. Aside from interludes when normal service is suspended and they roar for a while, they're both really nice. And – crucially – they know how to run a café. A huge blackboard is chalked up with the nitty gritty that the business entails: takings, profit & loss, breakages, complaints ("tea too weak", "fly in tea") and a tally of the number of covers.
And every day there's a different visiting artist. On my first visit a friend and I enjoyed Tunnock's Teacakes while listening to "true stories of fake things" by writer and performer Chris Thorpe. We picked countries from a board, and Chris sat at our table to tell us about aerials masquerading as trees (Iceland), flat Daddies (USA), the reconstruction of the streets of District 6 (South Africa) and Haiti's centuries of "reparations" paid to their French colonisers. This was not an exercise in whimsy – the stories were good, and it was relaxing to suspend conversation and just listen for a while.
The café was busy throughout the Fringe. On my second visit on the last day of the pop-up, as guest waiter Richard Layzell twirled Battenbergs on long silver forks and dipped in and out of his 'Ello 'Ello French waiter accent, I thought that there should be more cafés like this, with an aim to entertain customers as well as feed them.
After twenty days working noon to midnight at the café, Hunt & Darton themselves were as glamorously be-pineappled and welcoming as ever. They slipped me a Wagon Wheel and fast-tracked me onto their loyalty card scheme, where five pineapples on the card equals a covetable badge reading LOYAL. And they have given Eat Hackney readers their trademark recipe: chicken roast dinner sandwich, a teetering combo doused in gravy. Enjoy!
Hunt & Darton weren't the only people adorned with foodstuffs in Edinburgh. This Fringe performer wears a strangely effective cabbage-leaf beard. Click here and here to see some of the other people, places and performances I've photographed in the city this August. It's my mini tribute to the ultimate art pop-up: the inspiring and uplifting Edinburgh Festival.

Let me tell you why Empower Network is the easiest way to start earning a full time income from home in 2014. This is not B.S. review to shows you the possibilities of this system.
My Story
My story of earning (or rather trying to earn) online begins about the same time that the EN was launched by Dave Wood and Dave Sharpe back in April 2011.
In matter of fact one of the earliest opportunities I had to join the network was probably in May of 2011. It a YouTube video of some guy saying how he made XX,XXX amount of money with it.
What did I do? i clicked off of course, thinking it was one of those get rich quick schemes everyone was warning me about. You know the kind with big house, exotic car and luxury yacht, we all see it.
I decided to try my luck with the more traditional route of blogging article writing and occasional gigs I was paid less than $2 per hour, go to my About Me for the complete story.
To keep the longs story short I actually joined Dave Wood's Empower Network in 2013, but only got serious 2014 after realizing how anyone can start making a full time income with it. Not only that but some are able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year using just EN.
just check out the video of one of the Empower network's members getting her dream car delivered to her.
It's really the only business model that allows people with no experience or marketing knowledge have such success.
How Is That Possible?
After analyzing the winning formula of EN it comes down to 3 things:
- All the information and tool in one place
- Easy to follow plan/stragey
- Community
With that said number 3 is probably the most important part of it all. You see the empower network members are team, constantly evolving and moving forward as a whole.
If you read mys story, you know I spend most of my time in affiliate marketing. While many have success with affiliate marketing it's a very dog eat dog world populated with scams, fake gurus and spammers.
So if you still are not part of the EN team please do yourself a favorite and get started with it. Use any of my links to get my personal methods of succeeding with EN. If you still not ready check out the detailed review below
The Best Empower Network Review
Why the best? Because I tell it out it is, no B.S., no hype just pure info.
The EN is a complete all in one system that includes the training and viral blogging system, you can use it many different ways. Which means there are multiply ways to earn with it as well. Let's go over the products
What Are The Empower Network Products?
Like I said before it comes with full arrange of products and the possibility of "All IN" Bundle. Of course there are a lot of benefits of going all in, but it's not necessary for success.
Viral Blogging System (AKA Empower Network Blog)
Once you sign up for the EN membership you will get your own blog hosted on the empowernetwork.com domain. This mean you will not need to buy hosting, domain name, design, themes, or any other costs associated with owning your own website.
You get this automatically, so all you have to do is sign in and start posting. And post you should, Dave Wood recommends posting everyday, and that's a really good advice as the more posts you have the more you earn.
What you post is totally up to you. It doesn't have to be related to EN, or even making money online. Heck, you can even post about your day or a short message about what you learned. They key is to post, and watch your blog grow.
Other programs include
Inner Circle Review
Here you get information as well as motivational audio around once per week. This is actually a lot more powerful than it seems as training your mind success is one of the keys.
$15k Formula Review
Want to know what the best networkers are doing to earn? Then this migth be for you. If you have the budget I recommend getting it.
Masters Course Review
The cream of the top earners sit down and recreate their successes in HD videos so you can follow along and learn. This is the most expensive course in the serious and I would hold off before getting it, but if you have the will and budget go for it
So How Do I make Money?
The basic way to earn with the EN is have other sign up under you and many people think that's the end of the system. But it's actually only a begining as the EN is just an entry point to a whole other life on both internet and network marketing.
The stuff you learn from EN training, the community as well as my personal training for members under me will not only help you earn leads, sales and commissions inside the network, but can be applied to any online business or even brick and mortal one
So get started today and let your old life go. Click Here to join my team and I'll make sure you will succeed.
If you already member of Empower network or want to double or even triple your earning I recommend also signing up for pure leverage and internet lifestyle network. This way you can do the same amount of work and earn more.

Review Blue Ridge Community College - Virginia
Over-all, I've been very pleased with my experience and education at BRCC. Blue Ridge has offered me a way to get two years of education ( and my first degree!) under my belt without any student debt. As someone who wants to go to grad school and has to pay for the whole thing myself, this means a lot. Also, I was home schooled all through high school, so attending BRCC was a much easier adjustment than it would have been going straight into a 4-year. I've been able to achieve my goals at BRCC in ways I never imagined, and for this I am very thankful.
There are a lot of factors that make BRCC a good option for someone. First, this college allows students to take college courses and earn credits at a cheaper price. BRCC also offers a variety of courses on campus and at other locations. One of my favorite things about BRCC was the chance to take online courses. Online courses allowed me to receive college credits and still maintain a full time job.
My experience at Blue Ridge has be quite rewarding. The college does very well to cater to its students whether they are transferring to a four year school, learning a trade or technical skill, or simply just taking classes to explore and learn more. I particularly like the peer tutoring. It was very helpful for me and gave me an edge on some of the classes I struggled a bit more with. My only complaint would be with their math department. They always seem to have too few teachers, and the teachers they do have were not the most helpful if you were to come to them with concerns.

I have the same thing! There are random peices at the nape of my neck, and behind my ears, that simply refuse to curl. My stylist cut them shorter than the rest of my hair... the only problem is that they appear to grow faster than hte rest of my hair so I have to keep cutting them shorter.
The only thing that seems to help is using gel and scrunching. And even then, by the second day they are back to being their limp little selves....
type 3a/b, baby fine to medium, normal to high porosity except the canopy which is high.
recently chopped off about 4" - HOW LIBERATING!!! Learning to love my hair again instead of hating it for being a knotty mess.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
Located within a short distance to all of the theme parks, golf, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, the marina, the museum and the zoo, This one-story 3 bedroom, 2 bath lakefront home has a lot to offer. The beach or just shopping at the local antique stores. You can cook out on the grill and enjoy eating outside on the patio, the screen porch or inside.
The master has a huge walk in closet, TV, DVD player, king bed and plenty of drawer space. There is a sliding glass door that leads out to the deck.
The first guest room has two twin beds.
The second guest room has a queen bed and a view of the lake
There is a queen futon and a couch to fit 3 additional people if needed.
The kitchen is fully supplied.
There is a laundry room.
Utilities, cable and wi-fi are all included.
30 minutes to the theme Parks
15 minutes to Sanford airport and 30 minutes to the Orlando Airport.
This house is located off a main thoroughfare in Longwood in a suburban neighborhood. It backs up to a lake. We loved the back deck, being able to sit out there and watch the birds and enjoy the sun. Our dog loved it as well.
The house is nice. The kitchen is well outfitted, including things like a crockpot. Lots of counter space. The bedrooms were nice and the master has lots of storage space. The only thing we had not realized is that the garage was not included in the rental, so your car must remain outside.
We had a problem with the heating our first night and Dana got a repairman out there the same day we called. She was very responsive to our needs.
We fully enjoyed our month long stay. The homeowner is the "Best", this home has lots of space, plenty of extras a "Great Lake View". It is also located close to everything including I-4. I would love to return again next year!
Though the property is as attractive as shown in the listing, what you can't appreciate until you're there is the wonderful sense of openness. The listing photos present individual areas of the house, but not the spaciousness resulting from the entirely open floor plan in the main part of the house (apart from the bedrooms) and from the upward-sloping ceiling. That openness extends visually to the rear: The listing shows a few views of the lake but, again, can't convey the glorious morning feeling of walking out of the master bedroom and seeing the lake and sky -- and all the birds! -- through two wide glass doors and two equally wide adjacent glass panels. We'll be back for a third visit next year.
This was a beautiful home on a small lake in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We loved waking up to the sounds of Florida birds including sandhill cranes, ibis, storks, herons and ducks that visited us every day. We walked the neighborhood daily and were greeted by friendly residents throughout. The house is well laid out and easy to maintain. It's within walking distance of an Asian farmer's market and large supermarket. There is easy access to the freeway to several FL attractions. Two small maintenance issues were dealt with quickly by the owner. We had two dinners during the month with a large number of family and had seating for everyone on the lanai and in the kitchen and dining room. We loved our visit to Florida and would highly recommend this property. Thank you.
The house was excellent for our needs which included the ability to entertain 10 fellow parents watching sporting events in the Altamonte Springs area. Well equipped and clean.
Everything was as stated in the description. The house was well appointed and the "extras" such as grill, pancake griddle, fire pit, and fishing poles were really nice. The owner was easy to work with and easily accessible for the one question we had. The location was super convenient to restaurants, grocery and I-4.
We never did find a blow dryer or a broom if they were there.
We would recommend this place and would stay there again.
Wekiwa Springs State Park is 5 miles away. Here, you can snorkel, fish, canoe, kyak, camp and hike. Next to Wekiwa Springs is Wekiva Island. You can canoe or kyak here from the State Park or you can drive straight to the island. There is a white sand beach next to the river where you can fish or lay out and sun. There is also an outside bar and a place to order lunch.
New Smyrna Beach is 45 minutes away. New Smyrna is a cute little town with many restaurants, bars and events. You are also able to drive your car onto the beach.
The Sanford museum and the marina are 10 minutes away.
Cranes Roost in Altamonte Springs is 4 miles away where there are several restaurants, bars, a mall and a movie theatre.
The theme parks are 45 minutes away.
Rolling Hills Golf Club is 4 minutes away.
Cape Canaveral is 45 minutes away where there are many seafood restaurants.
Sanford Airport is 10 minutes (12 miles) away and the Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 20 minutes (21.64 miles) away.

Here's a question: why is there an ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere? If you answered "to keep UV rays from harming life," you're thinking teleologically. Teleology is the idea that there are goals or purposes in everything from the decomposition of soil to the big picture of cosmic destiny. Of course, science generally doesn't see the world teleologically, because scientists have found that focusing on proximate, mechanical causes is more useful for discovering how things work. But a new study shows that teleological thinking, while not scientific, may serve another function – staving off the fear of death.

Obama vs. Romney: The Battle of the CenturyEdward Glaeser
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Widespread U.S. unhappiness with the government would seem to call for a blockbuster election, such as the one we had exactly a century ago, when both candidates offered sweeping plans for public renewal.
An election fought over such visions makes more sense than our current jobs-growth donnybrook. The president has far more control over the federal government than over the economy. The 1912 election even provides a template for contention, with one candidate urging a Hamiltonian platform of reform through big government, and the other supporting (at least in the campaign) a progressive libertarianism.
Today, just 19 percent of Americans say they trust the government most of the time or more. Only 41 percent agree that "the government is really run for the benefit of all the people."
President Barack Obama was elected in 2008 as a reformer who connected the recession with the absence of "sensible oversight" that can occur "when special interests put their thumb on the scale." Two years later, the Tea Party rode a similar surge of anti-governmental anger fueled by the financial bailout and health-care reform or, as Sarah Palin put it, "the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest."
History Lessons
This unhappiness mirrors the mood in 1912, when a swath of the U.S. also believed that special interests had subsumed the state. Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt were Progressives who railed against "the shaping of our legislation in the interest of special bodies of capital and those who organize their use" (Wilson's words) and politicians "serving the great special interests of privilege" (Roosevelt's words). More than 75 percent of the U.S. votes cast in 1912 went to Wilson or Roosevelt or the Socialist Eugene V. Debs. The Republican candidate, William Howard Taft, received less than a quarter of the votes.
The election was the culmination of a wave of reform in the late 19th century, fueled by the malfeasance of politicians such as Boss Tweed. His archenemy, Samuel J. Tilden, ran on the 1876 Democratic ticket pledging to fight the "corrupt centralism" that had "infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times." For Tilden-era reformers, government would be fixed if civil-service reform replaced bad people with good people.
By the late 19th century, reformers came to blame the whole system, not just individual politicians. Muckrakers, such as Lincoln Steffens, uncovered the business leaders who funded the political machines. The transport magnate Robert Snyder, for example, paid $250,000 to St. Louis legislators in return for a traction franchise that he rapidly resold for $1.25 million. Corporate chieftains were rumored to run the U.S. Senate, as depicted in a splendidly vicious 1889 Puck cartoon. Some fad-like reforms sought more democracy, such as the referendum and judicial recall powers, and some involved less, such as replacing elected mayors with professional city managers.
Today, antipathy toward Wall Street's political clout and the bailout gets mixed together with essentially unrelated claims of other financial-sector misbehavior, such as credit-card fees. A century ago, hostility toward bribery and influence was also combined with resentment of other corporate misdeeds, such as Jay Gould's stock-market manipulations and Andrew Carnegie's strike-breaking at the Homestead mill. Ida Tarbell lavished poisonous ink on John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil Co., which used its alliance with the railroads to shut out rivals.
Immigration Battle
Some reformers such as Jane Addams and Louis Brandeis espoused conventional liberal views, favoring minimum wages, maximum-hour laws and restrictions on child labor. Other bona fide progressives, such as Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose running mate, Hiram Johnson, would find common cause with Tea Partiers eager to get tough on illegal immigration. As governor of California, Johnson signed the Alien Land Law that prevented "aliens ineligible for citizenship" from owning farmland.
In 1912, Roosevelt and Wilson served their country well by providing alternative visions of reform.
Wilson, the Jeffersonian from Virginia, favored a New Freedom: "I have never found a man who knew how to take care of me." He wanted to eliminate trusts, because "when I am fighting monopolistic control, therefore, I am fighting for the liberty of every man in America, and I am fighting for the liberty of American industry."
Influenced by Brandeis, Wilson wanted smaller corporations, but he also wanted limited government, particularly lower barriers to international trade: "The protective tariff has been taken advantage of by some men to destroy domestic competition, to combine all existing rivals within our free-trade area, and to make it impossible for new men to come into the field." As president, Wilson greatly extended the government's reach, but in the campaign, he seemed to espouse almost libertarian progressivism.
Teddy Roosevelt, the Hamiltonian from New York, believed in protective tariffs, as long as they were set by "a permanent commission of nonpartisan experts." He thought that trusts were inevitable, and that they should be managed by "an inter-State industrial commission, which should exercise full supervision over the big industrial concerns doing an inter-State business into which an element of monopoly enters."
This was his New Nationalism, inspired by Herbert Croly: Big government would control business and retake the country from the "special interests." This vision would come to fruition in the administration of his distant relative, Franklin, who used the National Recovery Administration to control, not dismantle, big business
President's Commitment
Today, left and right hunger for change. The Tea Party Core Belief No. 4 is that "special interests must be eliminated." They mean business interests as well as labor unions. The Progressive Democrats of America similarly seeks a "government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites -- with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests."
Obama began his presidency with a "commitment to making government work for the people, not the special interests." But after the financial bailout and the health-care plan, many see him as comfortably accommodating powerful industry groups. As the Republican rival, Mitt Romney would like to be seen as offering a clean sweep, but both his character and the situation lead him to fixate on the economy, over which he as president would possess only limited power.
What would a campaign of competing reform visions look like?
Obama's natural role is as heir to both Roosevelts, a leader who wants to clean up government by making the public sector more powerful. To claim his predecessors' aegis, he needs regulators both strong and smart enough to tame the banks. He must demonstrate his own independence from traditional Democratic interest groups, and show how his pet programs, such as infrastructure spending, will tame "crony capitalism."
Romney has more space to leap because his campaign has never presented him as a reformer. He can plausibly argue that less government can mean better, more honest government and usher in a New Freedom. He can argue that health-care spending enriches medical companies, and that infrastructure spending only funnels cash to connected contractors.
If he doesn't want a large regulatory bureaucracy overseeing the financial sector, then he needs to embrace the Brandeisian step of making sure that banks stay small enough so they can fail, or find some credible alternative. He must acknowledge the problems of undue influence, and then offer a plausible form of libertarian progressivism.
Just as in 1912, the public sector needs to become more effective and less wasteful. The current focus on jobs growth is unfortunate because neither candidate can guarantee economic expansion.
The country will be best served if both candidates deliver credible visions, one emphasizing change through big government, and the other delivering reform through limits on the public sector. If Romney feels skittish wearing the reformer's cloak, he might remember that the victory in 1912 went to the candidate promising small government, not the candidate of big government or big business.

Detailing tips, tricks to keep your bimmer in showroom condition.

3d detailing kit #2
This may be the perfect kit for you. If your car has been polished and waxed already, you are going to love how easy it is to maintain that freshly detailed look with only a few products.
Lets start with:
Orange Degreaser
A very potent all purpose cleaner, that will clean your wheels, tires, wheel wells with ease. It is also gentle, and works very well on the interior. Clean up carpet, vinyl, plastic, leather safely. Smells great too! :cheers:
Express Wax
While most "spray waxes" are on the weak side when it comes to durability, this formula is actually long lasting. Perfect to spruce up your wax or sealant that is on your car between washes. You will be surprised by the slick finish it leaves behind.
Liquid Leather
This product has received more praises from my customer than I can remember. They love how soft the leather becomes, the smell is great and how it looks OEM. It also dries to the touch. While this product contains gentle cleaners, when I do an interior detail, I first use a dedicated cleaner like the orange degreaser to deep clean the surface from what ever was on before. Once I apply Liquid Leather, I instruct my clients to just use Liquid Leather as a cleaner and conditioner.
Final Touch
A very popular quick detailer, for paint, glass, plastic, and chrome. If you are used to other QDs, the difference here is that you need to use a lot less product. When you spray it on the surface, you will see that it doesn't just run off. It will stay on. :cheers: Less product will do more work for you. If you were looking for a true streak free QD, this is it.
Ultra Protectant
My go to tire dressing and when ever I have plastic that could use some protection, this product goes on.
This is the look you will get with just 1 coat. :cheers:

"As the largest airline in New Jersey and New York and one of Newark's largest employers, United is committed to Newark Liberty as a model of customer service, convenience and efficiency," said Jeff Smisek, United chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Our partnership with the Port Authority and the investments United will make will ensure Liberty's place as the region's leading domestic and international airport for decades to come." United is the New York area's largest airline, with more flights and more seats from the region to more destinations around the world than any other airline. The airline also offers New York-area travelers more flat beds in premium cabins and more extra-legroom economy seats than any other airline. From Newark Liberty, United offers more than 400 flights daily to more than 150 destinations in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Its location and rail links make Newark Liberty the most convenient major airport for travelers originating in north and central New Jersey, parts of New York City and southern New York State. With more than 13,000 Newark-based employees, United connects the region to more of the world than any other airline. "United Airlines is a critical partner to New Jersey and the Port Authority,'' said N.J. Gov. Chris Christie. "This long-term commitment that United is showing to Newark will help us create jobs and continue our economic comeback." "Thanks to the Port Authority's strong partnership with United, Newark Liberty has become not only a world-class airport but also an important driver of economic growth, jobs and development for the entire region," said Port Authority Chairman David Samson. "The continued investment in Newark Liberty's facilities will ensure that the airport, and Terminal C specifically, remains a modern, premier gateway for travelers." "United Airlines is a leading anchor not just for Newark Liberty Airport, but for the economic growth of New Jersey," said Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni. "Our partnership with United Airlines is a model for the entire Airport community. United is a company with great corporate values and a real commitment to the people of New Jersey and New York." "The City of Newark is enjoying an incredible revitalization, and the support of our partners at United is critical to the growth of our great city," said Newark Mayor Cory Booker. "We have ambitious plans, as Newark is a model of urban development and renewal, and the commitment of United and its employees is an integral part of bringing that development to fruition." "United's long-time presence and investments at Newark Liberty International Airport have had a significant and positive impact on economic growth within the City of Elizabeth and in the region," said Elizabeth, N.J., Mayor Chris Bollwage. "We are committed to enabling further growth in the decades to come." United Investments at Newark Hub Since 1981, United and its predecessor carriers with Newark hubs – Continental and People Express – have built on a commitment nearly three decades old to expand and modernize Newark Liberty and establish a hub operation that would attract passenger revenue and economic growth to the region. That commitment was the first of any major airline at the New York-area airports. In 1985, People Express joined with the Port Authority to complete the construction of Terminal C, a project which Continental acquired following its 1987 merger with People Express.

Well my parts have taken soo long to arrive that 1 of 2 options remains and 1 option can be dismissed.
The parts have not been lost in shipping....
The parts probably NEED TO BE MADE and thus incur a long waiting time
Worst case the mfg/supplier of all or some of the parts in the steering rack went belly up and/or no longer deals with Government Motors.
My other option is to get in contact with an American dealership and see if I can find someone with the part in stock.... crossing my fingers for Lindsay Caddilac.

JERSEY AREA ASKS 2-YEAR COLLEGE; Wide Need for Community School Found in Survey in Bergen and Passaic

, Section , Page 29, Column , words
PARAMUS, N.J., July 20 -- Twenty per cent of the high school seniors and juniors in twenty-two communities in Bergen and Passaic Counties, or about 1,000 students, would attend a two-year community college if one were within easy commuting distance, according to a survey.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz announced Monday that wide receiver Titus Young was suspended for Week 12. The second-year receiver was sent home from the Lions' practice facility Monday. It all comes as punishment for "repeated selfish behavior." Late in Detroit's loss to the Green Bay Packers, Young lined up in the wrong spot and it resulted in a heated argument with his receivers coach Shawn Jefferson. The whole situation created a stir that was caught on tape during the broadcast.
Fantasy Analysis:
Schwartz told reporters that Young would be evaluated on a week-to-week basis and he probably would not practice Tuesday. Young missed most of his sophomore season while at Boise State because of a fight with a teammate. There were character, "red flag" issues but Detroit felt he had grown up since being a teenager. For fantasy owners, this is a sticky situation that fantasy owners will have to be patient with. You can't cut him just yet. In deeper formats, Ryan Broyles might be worth a flier.

Panel schedule may sound like a very technical word for someone who has nothing to do with electronics or engineering. However, it is one thing that most of all should know about while revamping or rebuilding our houses or while moving to a new place and taking care of the electric supply of the house. Even while you have to take care and keep a check on the electric supply and the circuits attached to a panel, it is important that you keep your eyes on the panel schedule.
I remember we first realized this when we were moving to a new house, but there was no one to keep a check on the number of circuits being used from one panel and this caused a lot of trouble. A lot of electricity fluctuation and dim lights became a norm. Moreover, most of our appliances also would not work how they should have. This caused a lot of trouble for us, since we had recently shifted to a new place and hardly knew anyone in the neighborhood. Moreover, as I was moving to this new place with a bunch of family members who actually had no idea about any such thing, for at least a month, we were stuck and struggling and adjusting with the constant power failures, and voltage fluctuation, until we sought help from an engineer living next door. The trick was simple, we had to keep a panel schedule and make sure that the electric supply of the house was fine and well regulated.
Here is preview of this Panel Schedule Template,
Well, I know the question that is going on in most of the people's minds right now, what is a panel schedule? Panel schedule is basically a sheet that displays various important information about the electric circulation of a place. Typically, a panel schedule shows information about the electric panel itself, the circuits attached to it and the amount of electricity that they use. This gives a clear idea to the users about which appliance should be requiring more electricity, so while planning the structure of a house, the electric wiring and monitoring could be done accordingly. A panel schedule in general has four parts, a header, a circuit table, a load summary and a footer. Through these parts, the most intricate details about the electricity supply of a house or a place can be provided and be maintained to a panel schedule user.
Having gone through one really bad experience with electrical circuits and having to suffer almost a month of no proper electric supply, my advice to everyone whether currently living at a house, or planning to move to a new one is to maintain a panel schedule. I know at first it might look like a tiresome job, and too techniques to deal with, but in the end, you will grateful to maintain one, like how we were in the end. Now because of maintaining a proper panel schedule, we hardly face any kind of electric turbulence, and most of our appliances work to their fullest.

In seeking billions of pounds in a stock market flotation announced last week, Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is following in a long line of entrepreneurs who have found they need outside money to develop their businesses – and have sold out.
The majority of the 845 million users of the site will have no problem with this on an intellectual level. But, like most consumers, they have an intimate relationship with the things they consume: their favourite drink, food or brand. This is particularly true for social networking, where users share highly personal details and pictures through a medium they think of as being mostly benign. An increasing number are likely to feel bruised as they are confronted with the bitter truth that they are mere fodder for a machine that means business.
Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in his Harvard dorm eight years ago and whose confidence quotient matches his IQ, believes the injection of new funds will ensure Facebook becomes an ever more comprehensive online archive of our lives, outperforming rivals such as Google, which launched Google+ last year. He also intends to stay firmly in charge of the business.
Will he succeed? It's not just a matter of how consumers feel: some founders regret trading ownership of their businesses to private equity houses, conglomerates or the market. When the Vermont hippies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield floated a majority of their ice-cream business in 1985, they wanted to keep control, but that dream ended when the Anglo-Dutch household goods giant Unilever bought the shares in a £203m raid in 2000. Unilever promised to keep to the brand's homespun philosophy, the funkily designed cartons, political slogans and charitable donations – but Ben and Jerry no longer run the firm that bears their names. "We didn't want to be acquired by anyone," Jerry Greenfield said later, adding that Unilever had done a good job in preserving Ben & Jerry's appeal.
Often, though, founders remain relaxed about handing over ownership and control to others because they feel they have taken their enterprise as far as they can and want others to grow it more quickly; global corporations have the cash, marketing expertise and distribution networks. When Richard Reed and his two fellow directors sold a stake (now 58 per cent) in Innocent smoothies to the sugary drinks giant Coca-Cola three years ago, they wanted Coke's help to expand across Europe more quickly. Innocent still makes healthy fruit drinks; it just sells more of them.
Likewise, some entrepreneurs believe that their ethical way of doing business will alter the multinational parent company – a kind of reverse ethical takeover. The late Anita Roddick used this six years ago as the justification for the controversial sale of the anti-animal-testing Body Shop chain to the animal testing L'Oréal group for £652.3m. Did she succeed? The Body Shop has kept the BUAV's leaping bunny accreditation logo for being "cruelty free" and its more conventional French parent still does not have one, but L'Oréal is pumping money into finding alternatives for animal tests, particularly for allergies, according to the Humane Society International. Troy Seidle, director of research and toxicology at HSI, said: "Purchasing a company that had a very strong anti-animal-testing policy has had an effect."
Most customers tend to be more concerned with whether a brand stays true to its original appeal – whether user-friendliness, trendiness or ethics – than ownership. Ethical Consumer magazine, by contrast, believes ownership is important, marking down the score it gives to brands whose profits flow into less ethical parents.
Might the partial acquisition by global financial institutions of a company that sold itself on making social rather than financial connections between people dull Facebook's appeal? Ruth Mortimer, an associate editor of Marketing Week, believes not. "I don't think the average Facebook user will care about the IPO as long as they continue to have a good experience using the site," she said.
"Most people understand these days that in order for sites like Facebook to remain free to use, they have to accept that they will share their personal data with the site and there will be advertising and brands. Some people even welcome seeing their favourite brands there. What Facebook must ensure is that it maintains the balance of connecting people with their interests alongside making enough money to survive and develop. It is possible to be both corporate and innovative; it just takes clever leadership and in-depth understanding of where you can introduce business elements without destroying your value for users."
Will Zuckerberg succeed? He is intensely smart and driven. He appears to have learnt the lesson that if you want to stay in charge you can't sell most of the shares. He has 28 per cent of Facebook, but through agreements with other shareholders will control 56.9 per cent of the listed company. His shares are worth about $28bn, so this is not about personal wealth; about selling out. It's about world domination. And, with imminent control of the personal thoughts, friends and photographs of one billion people, that is arguably a more concerning prospect.
Pret a Manger
Pret opened to offer the type of sandwiches its founders craved, but couldn't find elsewhere. College friends Sinclair Beecham, founder of the Hoxton Hotel, and Julian Metcalfe, who later founded sushi chain Itsu, opened the first outlet in 1986. In 2001, McDonald's bought a 33 per cent share for £50m. In 2008, private equity firm Bridgepoint Capital and Goldman Sachs bought Pret in a £350m deal, earning its founders £50m each. Last year, the chain was attacked for the salt content in its soups.
The Body Shop
Founded by the late Dame Anita Roddick and her husband Gordon in Brighton in 1976, the cosmetics chain of choice for teenage girls was taken over by L'Oréal in 2006 in a deal worth £652m. The Roddicks made £130m. Within a month, campaigners against animal testing and Nestlé, which has a 26 per cent share in L'Oréal, were calling for a boycott. The company lifted profits by one-third in 2010. And with lip gloss at £10, it's now out of the price range of most teenage girls.
William Chase went bankrupt growing potatoes before turning his crop into upmarket crisps, Tyrrells, in 2002. He threatened to sue Tesco for sourcing the crisps from a third party after he refused to supply them. Then private equity firm Langholm Capital bought the firm for £40m in 2008. The commercial director is a former boss of Kettle Chips Australia; overseas sales grew by 70 per cent last year and the company's sales reached £75m. Chase has now found a new use for his potatoes by making vodka at his Chase Distillery.
Ben & Jerry's
The ice-cream brand was bought by Unilever in 2000 for £206m. As it was a public company, the board had little choice but to agree the takeover, though founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield were not in favour. Greenfield has said that protection of the brand "is a constant struggle, as they have a very different set of values". Unilever has adopted Ben & Jerry's phrase "doing well by doing good", and those working for the brand believe the corporation has been positively influenced by it.
With its cutesy writing, Innocent drinks does not advertise that it is majority owned by Coca-Cola. Graduates Adam Balon, Richard Reed and Jon Wright founded the firm in 1998, buying £500 of fruit and selling smoothies at a music festival in London. Coke bought an 18 per cent stake in 2009 for £30m, upping it to 58 per cent the following year. Last year the company's fluffy image was threatened when it was revealed that it held on to £520,000 pledged to its charitable foundation in 2007. The company said that it will make a voluntary contribution.
Maison Blanc
Founded by Raymond Blanc in Oxford in 1981, the French patisserie chain has gone full circle, with the chef now working as a consultant. It was owned by bakery group Lyndale, before being bought by Kuwait-based KFG in 2007 for $7m – which called Blanc on board a year later to help it find its way. Virgin bought a majority stake in Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in 1992, which it sold a decade later, along with its holding in Le Petit Blanc, to Orient-Express Hotels for £27.5m. Many foodies are unaware that Blanc's restaurant and hotel are not owned by the chef himself.
In 2003, a group of eUniverse employees decided to launch a social networking site of their own. MySpace was born, and in its heyday (one moment in June 2006) it surpassed Google as America's most visited website. In 2005, it was bought by News Corp for $580m, but Rupert Murdoch's company thoroughly messed it up. By May 2009, it was superseded by Facebook, and now ranks 138th for total web traffic. Last year, it was bought by Specific Media and pop star Justin Timberlake for $35m, one-third of the price that News Corp hoped for.
Project "BackRub" was started by two Stanford students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, in a friend's garage in California in 1998. With $100,000 funding from co-founder of Sun Microsystems Andy Bechtolsheim, Google grew to have an index of 60 million pages in its first year, and by 2000 was selling adverts. In 2004, Google floated for $2,718,281,828, and many employees became instant paper millionaires. The company founded on the motto "Don't Be Evil" is renewing its push to expand in China (not known for its un-evil human rights policies), two years after a clash with authorities over censorship.
Jimmy Choo
The shoe designer whose creations had been worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, co-founded Jimmy Choo with the Vogue magazine accessories editor Tamara Mellon. Choo sold his 50 per stake for £10m in 2001. He would be forgiven for wincing when Mellon made £85m from the £525.5m sale of the business to Labelux, which also owns Bally, last year. Mellon, who sued her mother for £5m in a dispute over Jimmy Choo shares after her father Tom's death in 2004, left the label abruptly in November last year. The brand now has stores in 32 countries.
Green & Black's
The chocolate firm was founded by magazine editor Craig Sams and his wife Josephine Fairley, based on the principle of green, representing their environmental concerns, and black, symbolic of the high cocoa solids in the chocolate. It claimed to be the world's first organic chocolate. In 1999, a group of investors bought an 80 per cent stake in the company, which became the nation's fastest growing confectionery brand. It was bought by Cadbury's, now owned by Kraft Foods, in 2005.
