Obama's Attack Machine—II
The White House is deflecting questions about its ugly budget by hammering on Paul Ryan's plan.
'Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it," wrote Saul Alinksy in his "Rules for Radicals." The White House would appear to have a copy.
His agenda stymied and his approval numbers sinking, President Obama has realized this year's midterm election is shaping up as a referendum on failed Democratic governance. The new White House plan? Change the discussion, talk about Republicans, and frighten the nation about GOP ideas.
This is the way to read Mr. Obama's sudden re-embrace of his opposition—his unexpected appearance at the House Republican retreat, and his more recent invitation to Republicans to a "bipartisan" health-care summit. And it's the way to understand the recent Democratic targeting, freezing, personalizing and polarizing of Rep. Paul Ryan.
The idea-driven Wisconsin Republican first released his "Roadmap for America's Future" in 2008. The nation can argue about its particulars, but what is inarguable is that Mr. Ryan's plan is a real attempt to solve America's biggest problems, with bold tax, health and entitlement reforms to put the country back on the path to solvency.
At the time, Democrats could barely muster a yawn. So imagine the surprise when, after Mr. Ryan re-released his plan in late January, it became a sudden sensation. Two days later Mr. Obama used his visit to the Republican retreat to thrust it into the national spotlight. The cameras rolling, the president praised Mr. Ryan for putting forward a "serious proposal." He in fact singled out the congressman at least three times. Having done his spotlight bit, Mr. Obama then left it to the rest of the Democratic Party to systematically distort and trash the road map.
Within two days of the retreat, Obama budget director Peter Orszag had begun deflecting questions about the White House's ugly budget by hammering on Mr. Ryan's plan, claiming it "shifted costs" to families. Congressional Democrats held a conference call with reporters devoted to road map trashing, howling that it showed that Republicans would privatize Social Security, voucherize Medicare, and give tax breaks to the wealthy. Speaker Nancy Pelosi lambasted the Ryan plan in a speech to the Democratic National Committee.
Democrats used it to turn the health discussion, claiming it was hypocritical of Republicans to hit Democrats for slashing Medicare when Mr. Ryan's plan would also cut the program. They used it to stoke populist fears. California's Loretta Sanchez claimed the road map would both "privatize" Social Security and leave it to the "whims of Wall Street."
Connecticut's John Larson (a member of the Democratic leadership) introduced a resolution to force Republicans to oppose Social Security "privatization" in a high-profile vote. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already announced ads targeting 12 House Republicans, "calling on them to come clean with seniors" whether they support "House Republicans' extreme budget plan that privatizes Social Security and Medicare." As hoped, the assault re-energized liberal bloggers and the base.
Better yet for Democrats, some Republicans are falling into the trap. As with its campaign last year to smear Republican Whip Eric Cantor, the White House's attack on Mr. Ryan is designed to isolate and discredit one of the GOP's brightest thinkers. So it only aids the White House when "anonymous" Republican members—annoyed that they must have this debate—gripe to the press that Mr. Ryan doesn't "speak" for them.
Mr. Ryan, by contrast, isn't apologizing for offering ideas to the very president who keeps claiming Republicans are the party of "no" and who claims to want entitlement reform. A handful of House reformers are calling the Democrats' ruse—reminding voters that what makes this surreal is that the only choice right now is between bad Democratic ideas and worse ones.
These are the smart GOP members willing to do the hard work of explaining the difference between, say, Democratic legislation that would strip money from today's Medicare beneficiaries and funnel it to a new, unsustainable, middle-class entitlement, and Mr. Ryan's plan, which would preserve today's program for older Americans while plowing money from reform back into long-term solvency. As cheap as the attack on Mr. Ryan is, they understand that this debate was always coming, and that what they say now matters to the GOP's future ability to govern.
Should Republicans take back the House this year, or the White House in 2012, they will own giant deficits and runaway entitlements. Reality will force choices. They will either have to embrace politically tough ideas like those included in Mr. Ryan's plan, or flail through, doing nothing or succumbing to bigger government.
The longer the GOP hides or runs from those reforms, the harder it will be to embrace them later. Instead of spending so much time telling the press that Mr. Ryan's road map is not the "official" GOP plan, the party would be better off asking themselves why it isn't. If Mr. Obama is so eager for a debate about who is more serious about the country's future, they should give it to him.

Control is a British/American film that is a biographical take on the life of Joy Division's lead singer, Ian Curtis. The band Joy Division is a 1970's band in the post-punk genre. The film is directed by Anton Corbijn, the photographer for the band, and marks his directorial debut.
The film is an adaptation of the biography written by Ian Curtis' widow, Deborah. The name of the biography was called Touching From A Distance. The screenplay was written by Matt Greenhalgh.
The film was coproduced by Deborah Curtis as well as Tony Wilson, who released Joy Division's albums through his album, Factory Records.
Plot Synopsis
The film begins with Ian Curtis and Deborah Woodruff getting married in their native town of Macclesfield at the ages of 19 and 18 respectively. This occurs in the year 1975. Curtis commits himself to writing poetry in isolation. The friends that will become Joy Division attend a Sex Pistols concert in 1976 and then Ian volunteers to be the singer. They first name themselves Warsaw, and Terry Mason moves to a managerial role at the introduction of new drummer Stephen Morris. The band begins in 1977 and renames themselves Joy Division soon after.
Joy Division sign to the label Factory Records having won a Battle of The Bands in which the label owner, (and co-producer of the film Tony Wilson,) is watching.
In 1978 Ian is diagnosed as suffering from epilepsy after suffering a seizure. This would be his undoing later.
By 1980, he has confided in reporter Annik that his marriage is on the rocks. He begins an affair with the journalist, which continues until his wife discovers the affair. The affair continues after but ends not too long after – when Deborah finds that the affair is ongoing, she demands a divorce.
The film ends after Ian Curtis begs his wife not to divorce him. She refuses. He orders her to leave, and then writes her a letter in solitude. He then suffers a seizure. Later he hangs himself. Debbie discovers him, and cries in the street for help. The film ends with Curtis' cremation.
The Guardian film reviewer Peter Bradshaw considered the film the best of the year. Roger Ebert gave the film a positive rating, stating that it is a great biopic and a great music film and a great story of a person's life.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that the film Control has a positive rating of 87% based on aggregated reviews from industry experts. Metacritic reports the film as having an average score of 78 out of 100, based on 27 reviews,
- Sam Riley stars as Ian Curtis, the lead singer and main protagonist of the film. Riley was an unknown artist before playing Curtis in Control. The role was originally intended for Cillian Murphy, however Murphy was later considered too short to play Ian Curtis.
- Samantha Morton stars as Deborah Curtis, the wife of Ian Curtis. The two married very young, and had a tumultuous relationship due to Curtis' stardom as well as his affair with Annik Honore. The film itself is based on the real-life Deborah Curtis account which she published as Touching From a Distance.
- Alexandra Maria Lara stars as Annik Honoré, who is a journalist who works for the Belgian Embassy. Her long running affair with Ian Curtis is a central plot point, which causes strain within his marriage to Deborah.
- Joe Anderson plays Peter Hook, Joy Division's bass player.
- Toby Kebbell plays Rob Gretton, the band's manager. In the movie, he is a character portrayed for comedic relief.
- Craig Parkinson plays Tony Wilson, the label owner who released all of Joy Division's albums.
- James Anthony Pearson plays Bernard Sumner, the keyboardist and guitarist of Joy Division.
- Harry Treadaway plays Stephen Morris, the drummer and percussionist of Joy Division.
- Andrew Sheridan is Terry Mason, the manager of the band previous to Rob Gretton. (However, he still stays tour manager)
- Robert Shelly plays Twinny, Joy Division's roadie.
- Matthew McNulty plays Nick Jackson
- Ben Naylor plays Martin Hannett, the producer and co-founder of Factory Records with Tony Wilson.
- John Cooper Clarke portrays himself, a British punk-style performance poet. He performs in a gig during the film.
- Lotti Closs plays Gillian Gilbert, the girlfriend of Stephen Morris.
- Herbert Grönemeyer has a cameo role as a GP.
Corbijn served as the band's photographer. He serves as the director for this biopic, and had been a fan since the 1970's. He directed their music video for the 1988 rerelease of Atmosphere. Corbijn also paid half of the 4.5 million euros of the films budget himself.
The film's producers were Todd Eckert and Orian Williams. Deborah Curtis, Tony Wilson, who died months before the film's release, are listed as the two co-producers.
The script was finished in May 2005. The filming took place shortly afterward in Nottingham, as well as on location in Manchester and Macclesfield. The shooting also took place in various European locations to simulate the band's European tours.
The final scene is shot in the exact place where Ian Curtis memorial stone is located in Macclesfield, England.
The Weinstein Company was in charge of releaseing the film. The DVD was released in the UK on 11th February 2008, the Australian release was 12 March of the same year, and the DVD was released for the North American market on 3rd June, also on the same year.
Curtis' bandmates from Joy Division provided incidental music for the biographical film. The film also contains music by the following artists:
- The Velvet Underground
- David Bowie
- The Killers
- Supersister
- Iggy Pop
- Roxy Music
- Kraftwerk
- John Cooper Clarke
- Buzzcocks
- New Order
In addition, all songs performed live during the film are produced by the actors themselves. The actors also cover the Joy Division song "Transmission" for the soundtrack. New Order, Joy division's newest incarnation (without Ian Curtis due to his death) provides incidental music for the background of the film.
The soundtrack album for the film was released by Warner Bros and Rhino labels on the 30th October 2007.

text: Oncothyreon Another under-$10 name in the biotechnology and drugs complex that looks interesting is Oncothyreon ( ONTY), which is focused primarily on the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer. This stock has been on absolute fire this year with shares up by over 120%. If you take a look at the chart for Oncothyreon, you'll see that this stock plunged from its July high of $11.59 to a recent low of $5.67. After printing that low, the stock formed a sideways trading pattern between $5.63 and $7.75. That sideways pattern has been in place since early August, but now the stock is close to triggering a breakout trade on a move outside of the sideways pattern. On Wednesday, the stock also soared back above its 50-day moving average of $6.54 on huge volume, which is bullish. That move was mostly due to a note from Wedbush, which boosted its price target from $15 to $31 a share ahead of the STIMUVAX phase III data set for the first quarter of 2012. What's impressive about the stock's performance on Thursday is that the volume continued to expand and the stock added another 5%. Volume was over 2 million on Wednesday and 1.5 million on Thursday, well above its three-month average action of 507,800 shares. Market players should now watch for a major breakout to trigger for ONTY if it can clear some past overhead resistance at $7.54 to $7.75 on high volume. A high-volume move above those levels could easily set this stock up for a ridiculous spike higher. This stock is heavily shorted with over 21.2% of the float currently sold short by the bears. (It shows up on an October list of the 10 Most-Shorted Stocks in Biotech.) If we do get that breakout soon, then it's possible this stock makes a run at its 52-week high of $11.59, or possibly even higher. You could be a buyer of this stock off any weakness and anticipate the breakout over $7.54 to $7.75 a share. I would simply use a mental stop right around the 50-day moving average of $6.54. You could also just buy off strength once the stock does trigger that breakout and simply use a much tighter mental stop near $7 a share. Oncothyreon was also one of 13 Biotech Stocks Bought and Sold by Hedge Funds in the most recently reported quarter. Prev 4 of 6 Next

Border rugby in civil war
- 24 Jun 2013
The Border Rugby Football Union is refusing to release club players to its professional arm, Border Rugby (Pty) Ltd.
The Daily Dispatch reports that at the centre of the row is the transformation of the Border Academy and Border Bulldogs senior side (players and coaching staff).
Numerous efforts to salvage the relationship between the amateur and professional wings of Border rugby took a nosedive in recent days. According to documents seen by the Daily Dispatch to and from Border Rugby (Pty) Ltd chief executive Lefty Ngece, both parties failed to reach consensus on issues around the professional and amateur activities of the company.
'The threat of this situation is that it has been dragging for a while already and it could drag even further. Failing to reach an agreement could mean taking it to arbitration,' Ngece said. 'As the CEO I have a moral duty to ensure that rugby is played in the region and players who deserve to play in the provincial set-up from club rugby are given that opportunity.'
The lack of demographic representation of the region in the academy and Border Bulldogs has been a core issue over the past two years.
'Our executives' best interests is to see a team with its coaching staff that represents the Border region's demographics,' said BRFU president Phumlani Mkolo (pictured). 'Last year the same Bulldogs coaching staff omitted black local players from their squad, stating they were not good enough for the standard of rugby. What has changed now?'
The BRFU executive is refusing to release club players without achieving consensus with the company on a plan or programme on how the academy will accommodate players and coaches from clubs.
The Bulldogs play their first Currie Cup First Division game against the SWD Eagles in East London on Friday.

World Cup Setup Could Have Been Better, Brazil Sports Chief Says
The top Brazilian government official responsible for this year's World Cup soccer tournament says his country could have done everything better to prepare for global sport's most-watched event.
The buildup to the event, the first time the competition has been staged in Brazil since 1950, has been beset by problems including cost overruns and delays at almost every one of the 12 new and refurbished stadiums that will stage matches. Several urban mobility projects that had been promised for the monthlong soccer showpiece either won't be ready in time or were scrapped entirely.
"What we did and are doing reflects the possibilities of hosting a Cup in a country with the conditions of Brazil," Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo told reporters yesterday in Brasilia. "These are the historic conditions of every country. We'll do it within our possibilities."
Brazil is spending about $11 billion on the World Cup. The costs of the tournament have led to criticism and protests. Brazil's biggest demonstrations in a generation coincided with the Confederations Cup, a World Cup warmup event last June. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to quell crowds amid chants that called for funding of schools and hospitals instead of the new soccer arenas.
A poll released late last month showed Brazilians' appetite for hosting the June 12-July 13 tournament has reached its lowest point since it was awarded staging rights seven years ago. Asked what could have been done to prepare Brazil better for the World Cup, Rebelo answered "everything."
Support Plummets
Datafolha, a Sao Paulo-based polling group, said 52 percent of Brazilians are in favor of hosting the event. That's down from 79 percent support in the same poll in 2008. Earlier this week Sepp Blatter, the president of soccer's world governing body FIFA, said neither he nor Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff will be making a speech before the first game on June
12. Both were jeered before the Confederations Cup opener in Brasilia on June 15.
"What exists is a campaign against the World Cup by desperate sectors in the media," Rebelo said. "But it won't be enough."
Despite the setbacks, Rousseff promised the "Cup of Cups" in a soccer-mad country that has won more World Cups than any other. Brazil is going for a record-extending sixth World Cup title. Rebelo believes Brazil's soccer pedigree is enough to overcome the negativity surrounding the buildup to the event.
"We participated in 19 cups, won five, we've given and continue to give great soccer stars to the world. What more do you want from Brazil?" he asked.
For many including Rai, who captained Brazil in its first match of the 1994 World Cup, a competition that it ended up winning, good performances on the field aren't enough.
"I think Brazil could have used it better," Rai, co-founder of Sao Paulo-based marketing company Rai+Velasco, said in a recent interview. "Lots of money has been wasted because of planning. We knew seven years ago, and I think every Brazilian knows it could have been better."

Name and history[edit]
Bath Township was organized in 1807.[5] The township was named after Bath, Maine (which was named after the English city of Bath). One of the early settlers came from the city in Maine.[6] Statewide, other Bath Townships are located in Allen and Summit Counties.[7]
The first settlers in Bath Township were members of the Mercer family, who immigrated from Virginia. The precise date of their arrival is unknown, but it seems certain that crops were being raised in the township before George Washington died in 1799.[8] Their log house still stands and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9]
The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer,[10] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees.

Heterogeneous users and willingness to pay in an ongoing payment for watershed protection initiative in the Colombian Andes
Flat fees in payment for environmental services (PES) schemes promote administrative ease, and are perceived as egalitarian. However, when environmental-service (ES) buyers are heterogeneous in their income and water-consumption levels, this scheme may not be optimal, as total payments might become too low and services under-supplied. This paper estimates willingness to pay (WTP) higher fees from hydrological-service buyers in an ongoing PES initiative in an Andean watershed in Colombia, where small, flat user payments have been introduced. ES users fall into two highly heterogeneous categories: smallholder peasants and recreational-house owners. We perform a contingent valuation analysis in a representative sample of 218 households. For improved water services, ES buyers on average are willing to pay monthly about US$1 premium over current flat PES rate. Users' heterogeneity, however, affects significantly this outcome: while recreational-house owners are willing to pay monthly on average US$1.61 more than the current fee, smallholders only US$0.41. Spatial variables, such as distance to the water distribution point and to the town center, importantly influence WTP. Results may help designing user-driven PES schemes in line with efficiency and equity objectives.

BOSTON -- The Red Sox on Sunday announced a contract extension for right-handed pitcher Clay Buchholz on a four-year deal that guarantees him just under $30 million, with two club option years at $13 million apiece that makes the value of the deal potentially worth $56 million, major league sources confirmed Sunday.
"He's a homegrown core member of the ballclub,'' Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said in a press conference announcing the deal. "We expect Clay to be here a long time.
"We see this as a win-win. He is an entrusted, core member of the club.''
Buchholz is at the same point in his career -- just over two years' service time -- that left-hander Jon Lester was when the Red Sox signed Lester to a five-year, $30 million extension in the spring of 2009.
The contract calls for Buchholz to be paid $3.5 million in 2012, $5.5 million in 2013, $7.7 million in 2014, and $12 million in 2015, according to the source. With a modest signing bonus and buyout language, the contract guarantees him $29,945,000, a major league source said. Both option years call for a salary of $13 million, although there is an escalator clause that could push the second option year to $13.5 million.
The first four Red Sox starters in the rotation are now under the team's control through at least the 2014 season. Josh Beckett signed a four-year, $68 million extension last year, John Lackey is in the second year of a five-year, $82.5 million deal, Lester is signed through 2013 with an option for $13 million in 2014, and now Buchholz. The fifth member of the rotation, Daisuke Matsuzaka, is signed through the 2012 season, when he is due to be paid $10 million in the last year of the six-year, $52 million deal he signed with the club entering the 2007 season.
Buchholz's extension fixes his price through his arbitration-eligible years, and the club options give the club the chance to keep him the first two years he would be eligible for free agency.
"That was important to the club,'' Epstein said. "Clay is just 26 years old.''
The deal will take Buchholz through his 30th birthday, Epstein noted, and the club options could keep him with the Red Sox through age 32.
"That gives the club a little more flexibility,'' Epstein said, referring to the cost certainty this gives the club. "It made sense.''
The deal was negotiated by Red Sox vice president Ben Cherington and Buchholz's agent, John Courtright, who was present at the press conference. Also in attendance were Buchholz's wife, Lindsay, and daughter, Colbi.
Buchholz, who is being paid $555,000 this season, said he thought about going year-to-year in arbitration, but opted for security instead.
"It's a honor,'' he said. "This is where I imagined myself to be 10 years ago. I don't think I could be with a better organization.''
Epstein noted how good the Red Sox feel about locking up their homegrown players contractually, which they have also done with Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis.
"Clay certainly has earned our trust and developed a tremendous amount as both a person and a player,'' Epstein said of Buchholz, whose path to professional success was initially sidetracked by revelations that he had stolen laptop computers from a middle school and sold them to other students at McNeese State University, which led to his dismissal from the baseball team.
He later transferred to Angelina (Tex.) Junior College, and the Red Sox, after conducting intense background checks, decided that he was woth expending a first-round sandwich pick on in 2005.
Still, there were a couple other rough moments, most notably in 2007, when Buchholz was left off the team's postseason roster because the club did not think he was doing sufficient work to keep his shoulder strong. Epstein made a reference to that Sunday.
"That first year he was not the most compliant guy in our shoulder program,'' Epstein said. "Now he's a star pupil. He's settled in his family life and a trusted guy in our organization.''
The Red Sox are also expected to finalize a contract extension very soon for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez; an industry source confirmed that the sides "are getting close but nothing official yet." It would seem likely that the extension will be announced before the team leaves on a West Coast trip before next Monday, but a club source said more work needs to be done and that a midweek announcement was highly unlikely.
In one way, the timing of the extension comes at an awkward time for Buchholz. He has lost each of his first two decisions, has a 7.20 ERA, and has allowed five home runs in 10 innings after allowing just nine in 173 2/3 innings last season.

Our Impact
FoodCorps is dedicated to creating a best-in-class model for what healthy school food environments look like. In the process, we seek to serve as a resource to researchers across the school food field, and to inspire culture shifts and policy change.
What We Measure
Changes in attitudes: In a classroom where a FoodCorps service member teaches for at least 10 hours, 7 in 10 students will finish out the year improving their attitude towards vegetables, trying new ones, or maintaining their high regard for them if they already liked them. Changing kids' attitudes toward healthy foods is an important precursor to adopting lifelong healthy behaviors.
Changes in school food environments: Through the FoodCorps Healthy School Progress Report, we measure changes happening across each of our participating schools that help make them healthier places to learn, work, and play. 70% of schools that FoodCorps serves were measurably healthier school food environments by the end of this year––and for many of the schools we serve, this is now our fourth consecutive year of progress moving them up the ladder.
Changes in behavior: How does the school food environment impact what students eat in the lunchroom? Our latest evaluation project with the Tisch Food Center at Teachers College, Columbia University, will measure what students are eating in the lunchroom and learn what program components contribute the most to those healthy eating behaviors. Check back in early 2017 to hear what we've learned!
Partner perspectives: Together with Spark Policy Institute, we did an external evaluation to get to know the perspectives of some of our most important stakeholders: service site staff, school staff and administration, and community members. 98% of respondents say that they highly value the work of FoodCorps in their community.
"It takes more than books for children to learn. And FoodCorps teaches kids to love real food so they eat it when I put it on the tray."
—Betti Wiggins, Executive Director of the Office of Food Services at Detroit Public Schools
The Walmart Foundation supports FoodCorps' implementation of a national measurement tool to assess the impact of its programs in the schools it serves.

Autistic Treatment Center, Inc.
Rating: 5 stars 1 1 review 333
10503 Forest Ln 100 Dallas TX 75243 USA
The Autistic Treatment Center was established in Dallas, Texas in June of 1976 providing services for children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Two years later, the Center opened a second program in San Antonio, Texas. In 1992, the Dallas program expanded services to include individuals who are deaf-blind, multi-handicapped. The mission of the Autistic Treatment Center is to assist people with developmental disabilities to live in the community, achieve educational goals, be gainfully employed, and to experience personal satisfaction and happiness. The Center is entering a stage of growth and will be expanding to include diagnostic and assessment services.

Reviews for Autistic Treatment Center, Inc.
The Achievement Center of Texas (ACT) is a Center that is near and dear to my heart. In addition to providing loving care and support for children and young adults with Autism, Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, and other disabilities they provide hope for their families. I have personally seen children who could barely function blossum and thrive with the interaction from the staff, directors and each other. It is truly remarkable to see the kids learn life skills they thought they would never be able to achieve. My own grandchild who has autism spent several summers in their day camp and it made such a change in his life that I have been involved with ACT ever since. ACT is now in its 35th year of providing life-changing little miracles every day. Darlene S. Taylor-Thompson, MD

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
As is the way with this series, each scene begins with an interesting series of quick interviews with the cream pie donors and recipients about condoms, dating, safer sex, girls who let guys cum inside of them, and why a guy would agree to be one of five doing just that. It's impressive how many of them fear pregnancy but never mention disease.
Cuban born Cherrie Rose has done five guys at once before but never with so many body fluids. Helmet-haired half-pint Nikki Grind sometimes has guys cum inside of her by "accident" and pants impassively through these intentional encounters. Denise K. is excited about taking on five cummers and loves every minute of their rough-and-tumble attention.
All of the girls show off their cute feet for the camera.
Retailing: Fans of the series, gangbangs, cream pies and pretty young ladies will be happy.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By KBB.com Editors
In the world of premium and exotic roadsters, only a handful of vehicles offer the exclusivity, performance and overall reliability of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Highlighting its stunning exterior is a clever retractable hardtop, allowing the SL to serve as both coupe and convertible. The SL's varied model line delivers performance ranging from impressively quick to awesomely fast, and the car's extensive list of safety features is unsurpassed in this category. Few exotics can match the SL's impressively smooth and comfortable ride, either. Price may be the SL's only Achilles' heel, with the lowest-priced SL starting tens of thousands of dollars higher than a BMW 650i or Jaguar XK.
The SL is more than just a performance dynamo; it's an attention grabber. The car looks as good with the power-operated hardtop covering the cockpit as it does when the top is retracted. If you believe a car should signal to the world the level of your success, the SL is the perfect spokesperson.
The only reason not to like the SL is the price. Don't feel bad; well over 90 percent of the rest of us can't afford one, either.
The 382-horsepower SL550 replaces the SL500, while the SL55 AMG and SL600 both receive a slight boost in horsepower. A minor front end freshening, some new interior colors and a 50th anniversary SL550 set to debut later in the model year mark the visible changes for 2007.
As you drive the SL you'll feel exactness in the steering wheel and brakes and in the way the car corners and copes with emergency situations. What you don't feel...
... is the army of computers monitoring, controlling and adjusting every facet of the SL driving experience. Mercedes-Benz has equipped the SL with Active Body Control, an innovative suspension that helps keep the car level in sharp turns. The system can also detect when a rollover is imminent, activating the pop-up rollover bar. The SL550 combines both power and price into a very desirable package. Powered by a 382-horsepower V8, the SL550 rockets from dead stops like a stone leaving a slingshot, perhaps leaving one wondering just what in the world you might do with all the power of the other even more-potent SL variants.
Retractable Hardtop
The SL's retractable hardtop works flawlessly and, when in place, is as handsomely appointed inside as any Mercedes coupe.
Panorama Glass Panel Top
The optional panorama glass panel top puts a unique twist on the retractable hardtop design.
The SL's cockpit is awash in leather and power features. In fact, just about everything inside the SL is automated, which means you set it once, then forget it. We should point out that some of the controls - the COMAND system, for example - are complicated and take some effort to master. As for overall comfort, you'll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable set of seats, and the SL's ingenious folding top design doesn't take up the entire trunk when retracted, leaving just over seven cubic-feet for luggage or shopping bags.
The SL blends many lines from the latest Mercedes-Benz show cars into a production coupe that words alone cannot adequately describe. A long hood, short deck, massive wheels and a barely detectable retractable hardtop put the SL in a class all its own. Deeply sculpted side scoops and a protruding nose mark a revolutionary departure from the conservative styling found on the previous generation SL. Yet below the seductive skin the SL's legendary structural and safety features remain intact.
As standard equipment, the SL550 has dual-zone automatic air conditioning, the COMAND system, driver's information center, illuminated keyless remote, Xenon HID headlamps with wiper/washer, auto-dimming mirrors with right-hand tilt-down feature, navigation, Bose audio, dual side-impact airbags, front head airbags, automatic pop-up roll bar, dual 12-way leather power seats, cruise control, stability program, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, traction control, Active Body Control, a seven-speed automatic transmission and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Some of the SL's more popular options include the three designo designer series packages, the sport package, ventilated seats, Keyless Go, Parktronic, Distronic automatic cruise control, panorama glass panel roof with power sunshade, heated steering wheel and a tire pressure monitor.
The SL550's 5.5-liter V8 is the best choice for mere mortals, offering acceptable power at a good price, although there is something purely sumptuous about the 510-horsepower normally-aspirated V12 of the SL600. Speed freaks, thrill seekers and millionaires will no doubt opt for the supercharged SL55 AMG or the twin-turbo SL65 AMG, both of which offer similar horsepower figures but with a measurable difference in low-end torque.
5.5-liter V8
382 horsepower @ 6000 rpm
391 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2800-4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/22
5.5-liter V8 Supercharged
510 horsepower @ 6100 rpm
531 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2600-4000 rpm

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 62,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Hand built SL55 is relieble as Lindberg's Spirt"
Cons: "When it's time to sell - you can't"

"I am in agony! It's time to sell my SL55 and I CAN"T DO IT!!! After 28,000 miles of pure joy, love, pampering and 150 MPH ecstasy, (with minimal outpouring of cash) - it's like living with a Las Vegas show girl for the price of a box of candy bars. SURE - YOU GOTTA TIP!!! But GUYS, you own a car you don't want to get out of - not even to go in the house to sleep. Single? Then, take the ladies for a drive - BINGO!!!! You don't even have to ..... and they're calling YOU! T_H_E_Y_____L_O_V_E_____T_H_I_S_____C_A_R!!!!! It's like the closest they'll ever get to a pumpkin carriage - and midnight never comes!!! Repairs? Well I've "gone naked" for 2 years now - NO WARRANTY! So far - expenses normally covered by warranty total $180! That's it $180 - for 2 YEARS!! For a crankshaft sensor that I picked up on line for $50. Worked perfect! Put it in myself - no biggie - the video "how to" was on the internet. Like changing a spark plug - it was so easy. Oh yeah - one other thing - the rear motor mount started to sag creating a slight vibration at 1800 RPM during acceleration until it warmed up. The car had to go on the rack to replace it - $130 - all in. THAT'S IT - 2 years and she still drives like a NEW car. BUT I MAINTAIN HER BY THE BOOK and always at the dealership. IT MATTERS MORE THAN YOU KNOW! I buy my tires at Costco because they have a transferable mileage warranty and I go thru a set every 12k - they warranty for 20k. The other great news - this car was so successful for MB there is now a very competitive after market for consumables and short life parts - means you can maintain your $150,000 vehicle for the same bucks as a guy with a $50,000 Whatever. THAT'S IT - FORGET ABOUT IT. I'M NOT SELLING. Sorry."

Pros: "There is no equal for performance and quality"
Cons: "Probably too fast for me"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Out of the SL line up this is the performer. With AMG designed 6.2 Liter engine and 7300 red line there is no turbo lag. The ABC keeps it cornering flat and stable. The electronic controls are seamless so using them to alter the driving experience from comfort to track is amazing. Then there is the sound of that V8 which is without any vibration throughout the whole rev range. The reliability has been excellent, more so considering the level of performance."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 52,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "The amazing roof. Perfect coupe, perfect roadster."
Cons: "Have to leave it at home when I need four seats."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car leaves nothing to be desired in comfort, driving fun or convenience. It checks every box, well -- with the sole exception of seating beyond two. But who wants to drive a car with more than two perfect seats on those trips when one can avoid it. With the Pano roof, it is light and bright inside even when the roof is up. Isolation and rigidity are as good as with a fixed roof Mercedes sedan. You can take it through a car wash. But when the roof comes down, everything about the car can be more fully appreciated, augmented by beautiful music of the 32 valve tamed beast of an engine. I love everything about my SL550. I am spoiled for other cars, for life."

Pros: "Fun to drive and handles great."
Cons: "To powerful for strong take offs."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have owned a lot of exotics. This is the only one that is everyday driving friendly. Actually I have to laugh as it only has 11,600 miles on it. I have several cars and drive a BMW 750LI most of the time. I plan to drive it a lot more this year. Mine has built in radar detector which I just love. It is sporty, fast, and fun to drive in any conditions. Not driving it is a sin as the turbo needs action. I kept it at my Lake Home for a couple of years and due to not driving had a $6K turbo repair. I now keep it here and drive it 20 to 30 miles a week. New ones are around $220K. If you can get a low mileage older one...Grab it, enjoy it, and never look back."

Pros: "Good looking car and fun to drive"
Cons: "Extremely expensive to maintain. Many problems."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"Great looking car and fun to drive, particularly in the summer with the roof down. However, in four years of ownership (from 30k miles to 75k miles) I've had around $15k in repairs. A set of shock absorbers will set you back $7.5k - although fortunately I only had to get the rear ones done for a mere $4k. Various problems with the ABC system have cost me around $6k. Three problems with the electical/computer system another $3k. Various other issues bring the total up to $15k. I will not be buying another Mercedes and do not recommend this car unless you have money to throw away."

Cheryl Hanna's Legacy: Statement by VLS President Marc Mihaly

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—
SOUTH ROYALTON, Vt., July 30, 2014—

With the passing of Cheryl Hanna on Sunday, the students, faculty, staff and alumni of Vermont Law School lost a dear friend, mentor and colleague. The people of the State of Vermont lost a public citizen and an immensely talented lawyer. And the nation lost an activist for the rights of women—and a force for change.

Most heartbreakingly, her family lost a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

The very fabric of our community—the VLS community and the Vermont community—is forever changed. In this small and rural school, and in this small and rural state, community truly matters. We lean on, and turn to each other for guidance and support. A strong community needs active, giving people who devote themselves to helping others, who lead by example, who create the bonds that sustain communal life. Cheryl Hanna was just such a person, a lynchpin of the VLS community and of Vermont.

Cheryl was a true teacher, both for generations of students at VLS and for the citizens of Vermont where, via television and radio, with verve, humor and insight, she taught the meaning of the law.

Time and again, VLS students elected Cheryl as their Teacher of the Year. Her classes were in high demand. And we cannot count the number of times Vermonters not otherwise associated with the school have approached us to compliment Cheryl's exposition of a legal controversy.

Cheryl's connection to our students transcended the intellectual realm. She saw them as whole people—each and every student mattered to Cheryl—and made sure that her relationships went beyond the walls of the classroom. She was a frequent friend, advisor, and warm listener to students who needed help—or who just wanted the pleasure of her company and her bright, encouraging smile.

Posts on the Cheryl Hanna Legacy page include statements from those who were not in her classes, but who nevertheless received the warmth of her friendship, a loan of a computer, a word of advice, a confidence-boosting pep talk. Above all, VLS students saw in Cheryl what we all seek as we try to invent ourselves in life: a role model, an example of who we want to be and what we want to achieve.

VLS alumni maintained their connections to Cheryl long after commencement, and she to them. In these difficult days we have heard and read words of grief and condolence from hundreds of alumni, many of whom have also expressed their desire to continue "to make her proud" and "make a difference."

Cheryl cared deeply about many causes and ideals—VLS among them. She gave so much of her contagious energy and thought to the development of this school, both as an idea and as a mission-driven institution. In addition to her teaching, we asked Cheryl to take on an administrative role where she brought her activism, creativity and energy to our admissions efforts and building partner programs, including with the University of Vermont.

Cheryl, with her media savvy and her strategic vision, helped VLS find its voice. I attribute much of our success in finding students who belong at VLS—students who hear our call for leaders, for advocates, for change-makers—to Cheryl's intelligence and strategic vision. Even as she returned to full-time teaching, she recommitted herself to building upon our partnerships and taking on new initiatives such as Lawyers for America, a program that places students in public service.

Her life was all too short, but she leaves us with a legacy of leadership, scholarship, service and compassion. We—the VLS community, the VLS family—are better for having known her. We are honored to be tasked with sustaining her legacy by following her lead in selflessness and service.

- Marc Mihaly
VLS President and Dean

Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

East comeback falls short in PIAA playoff loss
East boys basketball coach Matt Jones didn't want to talk to his team about basketball after another heartbreaking loss.
The Warriors had given Jones everything they had, it just wasn't enough to overcome Thomas Jefferson.
The Jaguars knocked down key free throws and played just enough defense to hold off a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Warriors as Thomas Jefferson beat East 72-66 in a PIAA first-round game in front of more than 300 fans Friday at the Mercyhurst Athletic Center.
"My last speech to these guys was about their character," Jones said. "I want them to continue the character they've shown on the court to off the court the rest of their lives. They did a great job this season and accomplished things a lot of people didn't think we could accomplish."
Thomas Jefferson (23-3) moves on to the second round on Tuesday against WPIAL champion Central Valley at a site and time to be determined.
Justus Davis cut the Jaguars' lead to 69-66 with 26.8 seconds remaining by hitting the first free throw in a trip to the line. He missed the second, but the ball went out of bounds off Thomas Jefferson to give the Warriors a chance to tie the game with 25.2 seconds to play.
East missed twice and Chase Winovich knocked down two free throws with 15.3 seconds left to secure the win.
"Thomas Jefferson is a great team and well-coached and they are disciplined," Jones said. "It seemed like we'd come back and they'd hit a shot that felt like a dagger. Our guys never gave up and both teams fought hard. Thank God for this opportunity and I told the guys that there are 1,000 teams at home right now that wish they could be in the state playoffs. It's a big thing to be a part of."
The Jaguars scored late in the first half to take a shaky 30-27 lead into the locker room at halftime. Thomas Jefferson then exploded for 27 points in the third quarter to start to pull away from East.
"In the second quarter, East just outworked us and out-rebounded us. They were getting second and third shots and were more physical than we were," Thomas Jefferson coach Dom DeCicco said. "I told the guys if we can box out, we'll win the game. I think we started to do that in the third quarter."
Chase Winovich gave the Jaguars a 62-48 lead with a little more than 5 minutes left before East started mounting its comeback attempt. Tyquis Johnson scored on an old-fashioned three-point play and Davis added a bucket right away to cut the lead to 62-53.
The Warriors kept up the pressure and Kyree Kirkland scored with less than 4 minutes left to cut the lead to 62-57.
Thomas Jefferson then came up with a big sequence to slow the game down and keep the pressure on East. Eric Fairman went to the free-throw line with 3 minutes, 44 seconds left. He made the first and missed the second but the Jaguars pounced on the rebound. Charlie Scharbo was then fouled and hit the first free throw and missed the second. Thomas Jefferson jumped on the rebound and eventually missed in another long possession but held a 64-57 lead.
The rest is history as the Jaguars overcame a bad start of 2-for-13 at the free-throw line to make 9-of-15 over the final 10 minutes of the game.
"We like up-tempo games and we'd rather keep working for easy shots than slow it down," DeCicco said. "We had a long road trip and I thought our kids handled the adversity well."
Scharbo led the Jaguars with 22 points, while Jason Horan had 14 and Scharbo added 12. Johnson paced East with 23 points followed by 19 from Kirkland and 16 by Davis.

The album was mixed by Shawn Grove at Edible Studios, the private recording studio of Ed Roland, lead singer and songwriter of Collective Soul.
In 2003, she released her first album, I Dreamt a Dream,[2] a studio album of original songs she co-wrote with Kurt Hawthorne. Sonny Lallerstedt, a guitarist who has performed with Elton John both live as well as in the studio, contributed to the album.
In 2004, in colloration with Lee Miles, Jackson released her second album, Jordyn Jackson. These original songs were recorded in Orlando, Florida, and after being introduced to a promoter, were performed in Italy both live as well as on television.
After several months touring in Italy, Jackson returned to the United States and in 2006, joined Veronica's Veil, the band of Randy Winter, brother of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' singer Ronnie Winter. She performed their existing songs live as well as recording their first album Middle of Nowhere. In 2007, Jackson began co-writing[3][4] songs which were released on their second album Enduring Winter[5] in 2009.
In May 2009, Jackson departed Veronica's Veil to concentrate on solo opportunities. These resulted in her 2009 album September in the Garden. While in New Orleans for her album, Jackson also sang backing vocals on Nick Gill's album.[6][7]

This episode marks the first appearance by Raisins and the girls that work there, and, by the goth kids.
When Lexus served the boys, Cartman is the only person to have his order but the other boys haven't but later on when they are at the table, they had their orders.
When Lexus said "Raisins Girls!" Look at Toyota(red-haired raisin girl) just to your left, you'll notice she's shown again in the next scene.
When we see Stan in his room so depressed look at the shadows on his face, it's on his right side of his face but when Butters spoke it's on his left side and when he'd spoke it's on his right side again.
Porsche's pen and notebook dissapeared when she sat beside Stan.
When Stan asked Kyle to talk to Wendy for him, Kyle puts his homework book down but if you look carefully and you're see that his pencil magically dissapeared from his hand (or he'd properly put in his book), but when he'd ask Stan what Wendy told him, the pencil is on top of his books.
When the boys left the table, Cartman is wearing his gloves but when they reached the front enterance, his gloves are off.
When he is goth, Stan's Poe T-shirt reads "Nevermeat." Stan already knows what happens when you become a vegan, why would he endorse this? Perhaps he was in such pain over Wendy he wasn't thinking straight.
Butters: We came over to cheer you up, Stan!
Stan: Go away...
Kyle: Stan, you can't keep doing this to yourself. You have to go live.
Stan: Why? What's the point of living when the only girl I ever loved is gone?
Cartman: God, what a fag!
Cartman: What-ever, Bebe! Like Stan really cares! Just get out of our football game, you stupid skank!
Bebe: F*ck you, fatass! You guys are assholes!
Butters: Oh yeah? Well, at least we have assholes, you dumb girl!
Cartman: Yeh-heah, right!
Bebe: God, you're so stupid!
Cartman: What a whore!
Mr. Stotch: Oh, boy. I think I know what's happened. Our son hasn't learned yet that girls will pretend to like him for money.
Mrs. Stotch: This place is horrible, to objectify girls like this!
Butters: Oh, no thanks. I love life.
Stan: Hm? But you just got dumped.
Butters: Well, yeah. And I'm sad. But at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like... It, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before, so I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.
(Kyle walks into Benny's and sees Stan as a Goth kid for the first time)
Kyle: Oh, Jesus Christ! I had to see it to believe it! What the hell are you doing?
Stan: Breathing deep the darkness that envelops my soul.
Kyle: God dammit, dude. Your mom and dad want you to come home!
Stan: So they can fill my head with more Disney lies about how perfect the world is? I don't think so.
Fringe-flicking goth kid: Yeah, why don't you just go back to your Justin Timberlake and your homework, you conformist assh*le.(flicks fringe)You just don't know what real pain is.
Kyle: Oh, like you know what pain is. Go try living in a third world country, you little pussy.
Fringe-flicking goth kid: I'm not gonna live in a third world country with all the conformists.
Kyle: Stan, this is it...time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and come home. Everyone cares about you and everyone wants you back.
Stan: What about Wendy? Is she still with Token?
Kyle: Yeah, she is.
Stan: Then people shouldn't care about me...because don't care about them. What's the point of caring if all it brings is pain?
Henrietta: For sure.
Kyle: Fine, that's it. I give up. Have fun being miserable.
(Kyle walks out)
Stan: ...Conformist...
All the other goth kids: Yeah...
(The goth kids are having a meeting at Henrietta's house, reading their poems about pain)
Henrietta: Shallow Life.
Drowning alone I gasp for air
Cold creeps over pale skin
There is sadness... so deep, it pulls me down
Happiness dies in the deep, dark sea.
Fringe-flicking goth kid: Yeah, happiness dies.(flicks fringe)
Stan: Yeah...
Goth leader: Alright, your turn Stan. Read one of your poems about pain.
Stan: (chooses one of his poems) There is darkness all around me
Deep, piercing black I cannot breathe
My heart has been raped.
Henrietta: Whoa...
Stan:(continues)The pain is everlasting
I miss you so much babe
Want to hold you in my arms again, girl
Want to -
Fringe-flicking goth kid: Woah, woah, dude! Those last two lines aren't goth!
Stan: They're not?
Goth leader: No, dude! You can't say, "I miss you so much, babe. I wanna hold you in my arms."
Henrietta: Make it, "I miss seeing you so much, I wanna slice my eyes out with razorblades."
(Stan meets the Goth kids)
Fringe-flicking goth kid: Life is pain... life is only pain.(flicks fringe)We're all taught to believe in happy fairy tale endings(flicks fringe)...but there's only blackness...dark, depressing loneliness that (flicks fringe)eats at your soul.
Goth leader: Who needs that Ken and Barbie love anyway? Everyone's just walking around like a bunch of conformists. Go ahead and wear your business suits so you can make $34,000 a year and buy your condominium. They're all zombies racing to their graves. Love didn't work for my mom and dad...why should it work for me?
Henrietta: My dad is such an assh*le...drunken bastard doesn't even know I exist,but then he won't let me go to the Skinny Puppy concert because my heroine addict aunt is coming over.(takes a hit of pot)Dinner? That's a laugh...just an excuse for my mom to bitch at me for not wearing girly clothes like all the other Britney Spears wannabes at the school.(takes another hit)
Kindergoth: They're all a bunch of Nazi, conformist cheerleaders...
Stan: ...but if life is only pain, then...what's the point of living?
Fringe-flicking goth kid: Just to make life more miserable for the conformists.(flicks fringe)
Stan: Alright, so how do I join you?
Goth leader: If you wanna be one of the non-conformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do.
Stan: ...Kay...
(Butters tells his parents he has a girlfriend)
Stephen: You see, I told you he wouldn't turn out gay.
Linda: All right you win. ( She hands Stephen some money)
Jimmy: Well Stan, do you feel... better now?
Stan: No dude, I feel worse.
Kyle: Look, we're just trying to show you there's other girls out there.
Stan: Dude, I dont have time to start over with other girls. I'm 9 years old dude. If I don't work things out with Wendy I could be alone my whole life.
Lexus: I'm so glad you guys came in. Everyone in here is such a loser, but you guys seem really cool.
Butters: We are.
(The boys sit down at a table in Rasins)
Kyle: What do you think Stan, these girls are pretty cute huh?
Jimmy: Jesus Christ, I think I've died and gone to heaven.
Butters: This place is awesome!
Cartman: How do you know? We haven't even tried the food yet.
Stan: Ok, I'll hike the ball on the third set hut, Cartman and Kyle, you go deep post outs, Kenny run a slant up the middle, Butters, be ready for the screen.
Cartman: Right, what are we playing again?
Stan: Football
Cartman: Got it!
Stan: Hey Wendy! You're a bitch. Token, (holds up middle finger) right here, buddy.
Butters: I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy goth kid.
Stan: Jimmy, will you go talk to Wendy for me?
Jimmy: For, for w-, for w-what?
Stan: Just go talk to her an, and be poetic. Tell her she's my Muse-no! Tell her, tell her she's a continuing source of inspiration to me.
Jimmy: She's what?
Stan: She's a continuing source of inspiration to me.
Jimmy: Okay. (goes over to Wendy) Hey uh Wen-, hey Wendy.
Wendy: Yeah?
Jimmy: Stan says your a cont (pronounced as 'the C-word') you're a cont-. Stan says you're a cont- cont-.
Wendy: Well tell Stan to f**k off! (she walks away)
Jimmy: Cont-. You're a continuing source of inspiration to him. (goes back to Stan)
Stan: Well?
Jimmy: She just walked away, Stan. You're gonna have to face facts. It's over.
Kenny had no lines during this episode.
The way that Stan feels in this episode is based on Trey Parker's experience with one of his girlfriends he was once engaged to. Wendy also resembled what she looked like, which is a possible explanation why she is only a very minor character in all the following episodes.
SYNDICATED VERSION: Surprisingly, the infamous stuttering joke is still permitted, coming dangerously close to airing "the C word" on network television. However, the stuttering is shortened, dwelling on the point a little less so that it can go over people's heads. Jimmy stutters once or twice before Wendy reacts. The punch line is still there, but it's just harder to notice.
No other edits appeared aside from the usual tightened language restrictions, which as usual DO permit words like "fag" and "pussy", thus leaving Butters' line intact. Additionally, Stan's middle finger to Token was left intact.
Songs used in the episode:
-"Don't Know What You Got(till it's Gone)" by Cinderella.
-"All Out Of Love" by Air Supply.
-"Shock The Monkey" by Peter Gabriel.
-"Y.M.C.A." by The Villiage People.
All of the Raisins girls's names are expensive high-end cars.
The name of the diner Stan and the kids go in is Benny's. This is a parody of the diner Denny's.
Butters's parents bet about whether Butters would grow up to be a homosexual, parallels a bet made by the mayor and the chief of police in an episode of The Ambiguously Gay Duo from Saturday Night Live.
Stan's goth name is "Raven", and he has an Edgar Allan Poe shirt.
The Raven is a famous poem by Poe that repeats the line: "Quoth the Raven-Nevermore".
It's one of the earlier examples of the true Gothic style and genre.
Stan also has a t-shirt saying "Nevermeat", hence "the Raven quoth nevermeat".
Stan stands outside of Wendy's house with a stereo above his head, playing the song "Shock The Monkey" by Peter Gabriel.
This is an allusion to the 1989 movie Say Anything, only in that movie, it was Gabriel's other song "In Your Eyes" that was played.
"Raisins" is, of course, an obvious parody of the Hooters restaurant chain. Hooters' waitresses have breasts who have developed and then some, whereas the girls at "Raisins" haven't begun to develop their breasts yet. You might have also noticed that the two i's in "Raisins" on each girl's shirt is located where each girl's nipple would be.
