Spectrum Customer Privacy Notice for Cable Television, HSD Internet and Phone Service
Our Spectrum Customer Privacy Policy is changing, effective 8/1/2017. You can see our new policy here.
Bright House Networks' parent, Charter Communications Operating, LLC and the respective subsidiaries providing you the services ("Spectrum", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This privacy notice applies to those Spectrum customers who subscribe to our cable television services, high-speed Internet services, and phone services (individually and collectively, the "Service"). This privacy notice gives you a general understanding of how Spectrum protects your privacy in connection with our provision of the Service, as well as your rights under the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended and the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, as amended.
We may modify this privacy notice at any time. We will notify you of any material changes through written, electronic or other means as permitted by law. If you find the changes unacceptable and if the change(s) materially and adversely affect your service, you have the right to cancel service. If you continue to use the service following notice of the changes, we will consider that to be your acceptance of and consent to the changes.
This notice is published at www.brighthouse.com where the most current version is maintained. You can call us for a printed copy at any time. We will mail a copy of this notice to you annually, whether or not there have been modifications. We encourage you to read this notice carefully and call us with any questions.
This notice only covers information about you that is collected by Spectrum in connection with the provision of our Service to you as a subscriber of our service (we refer to such information as "customer information"). This notice does not cover information that may be collected through any other products, services, or websites, even if accessed through our services and even if co-branded with our services. It also does not cover any Internet service provider other than our affiliate Road Runner. You should read the privacy policies for these other products, services, websites and providers to learn how they handle your personal information.
When we use the terms "Spectrum," "we," "us," or "our" in this notice, we mean Spectrum and the family of companies we own or control. The term "you" or "customer" refers to you as a subscriber to one or more of our Services.
A. What types of customer information does Spectrum collect?
Spectrum collects customer information from you when you subscribe to and use our Service. Some of this information is collected automatically through your use of the Service, and some is collected when you voluntarily provide it to us, as may be required by law, and from third parties, as described in this notice. Some of the customer information we collect identifies you (we refer to that type of information as "personally identifiable information" or "PII"), but much of it does not. Personally identifiable information is any information that identifies you or can be used to identify, contact or locate you, including information that is used in a way that is personally identifiable, such as: your name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, birth date, names of household members, driver's license or state ID number, social security number, bank account information, credit card information and other financial information. Personally identifiable information does not include aggregate data that does not identify a particular person or persons, or demographic information not connected to an identified individual or household, or non-personal information such as MAC addresses associated with set top boxes, modems, and routers, or other equipment identifiers that is not linked to PII.
When we first set up our services for you, and during any later changes or updates, we may collect technical information about your televisions, set-top boxes, computer hardware and software, cable modems, telephones, and/or other cable or other service-related devices, customization settings and preferences, and additional information about the service options you have chosen. We may also maintain research records containing information you give us through voluntary subscriber interviews or surveys.
In addition, as part of our normal course of business, we generate and maintain billing and account information such as billing, payment, and deposit history; the services to which you have subscribed; customer correspondence and communications records; and maintenance, repairs, and complaint information.
Sometimes, we also obtain additional information from outside sources to supplement the information we collect from you. We might add information about you or your community available from third parties such as research consultants and marketing firms (such as the information that merchants use in delivering catalogues by mail, or census information about neighborhoods).
If you rent your residence, we may have a record of whether landlord permission was required prior to installing our cable facilities as well as your landlord's name and address. We may also collect information from third parties to verify information you have provided and from credit reporting agencies to, for example, determine your creditworthiness, credit score, and credit usage.
We may also collect the following service-specific customer information depending on the specific Service to which you subscribe:
Phone Services. As part of delivering phone services, we keep information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of your use of phone services, and calling patterns and information contained on your telephone bill concerning the phone services you receive. This information, when it is made available to us solely by virtue of our relationship with you, as a customer, is known as customer proprietary network information or "CPNI" and subject to special protections as described in Section D ("Special rules associated with customer proprietary network information") below. Your name, address, and telephone number alone do not constitute CPNI when they have been published in a directory format, however.
If you subscribe to Spectrum Enhanced Voicemail service (which includes voicemail-to-email and voicemail-to-text service), we transmit, and may collect and store for a period of time, information generated by the service when you receive voicemail, including but not limited to audio recordings of such voicemail.
High-Speed Internet Service. If you subscribe to a Spectrum high-speed Internet service, such as Road Runner, we transmit, and may collect and store for a period of time, information generated by the service when you send and receive e-mail, video mail, and instant messages; transfer and share files; make files accessible; visit websites; or post blogs, comments, or other information. We do not store emails sent and received unless left in a Spectrum High Speed Internet account file. Spectrum may associate personal account information with data from third parties about you or similar persons to better predict your product and service preferences for use in programming, advertising transactions and to market our services to you. Unless addressed to us, we do not read email messages, instant messages, online chats, or the content of other online communications that reside on or pass through our networks. We may however, retain and provide such communications if we are legally required to do so. Incoming and outgoing email messages are generally scanned electronically to identify and filter out likely spam and for viruses and related problems that could harm your equipment, the network or other users.
Cable Television Services. If you are a cable television subscriber, we may also automatically collect information when you use our systems such as by ordering or viewing on-demand programming, or engaging in other interactive programming features. This information is primarily used to carry out the requests you make using your remote control, set-top box, or other equipment. It may also include other information such as the time you actually use our services, the use of other features of our services, and which menus and menu screens are used most often and the time spent using them. Information collected from these services is maintained on an anonymous basis, except in connection with billing for usage of video on demand or pay-per-view services or as necessary to fulfill any other request or order you make via the transactional and interactive services. Some of our advertisements may invite interactive or transactional follow-up from you. If you request products, services, features or information via such interactive advertisements, we collect and use the information generated by the request, including personally identifiable information when necessary, in order to carry out your request.
We may also collect channel tuning data to determine which programs are most popular, how many people watch a program to its conclusion and whether people are watching commercials, as well as other audience measurement-focused information. All personally identifiable information is removed from this data. Spectrum, or our contractors or agents, may from time to time share this anonymous information with our advertisers, content providers, or other third parties working on our behalf such as audience measurement or market research firms. These firms may combine this information with information about you or your community (such as the information that merchants use in delivering catalogues by mail, or census information about neighborhoods) to provide us with audience analysis data. Our audience measurement helps us and the program networks we carry decide on which programs and channels to carry and to improve our cable television services.
We also use this information to provide you with a more personalized experience by directing advertisers to the channels that produce more sales as they consider, design, and evaluate advertising campaigns.
In addition to this privacy notice, we may provide additional notices to you regarding specific advertising or other initiatives. These notices will describe the initiatives in greater detail and may, as appropriate, contain information you can use to choose to participate, or not participate, in these initiatives.
B. How does Spectrum use customer information?
We use customer information, including personally identifiable information, primarily to conduct business activities related to providing you with reliable, high quality Spectrum services, and to help us detect theft of service. More specifically, we may use personally identifiable information to:
- install, configure, operate, provide, support, upgrade and maintain the Spectrum services and service-related devices and software;
- bill and collect fees and charges for the Spectrum services;
- confirm you are receiving the level(s) of service requested and are properly billed;
- administer your account and identify you when changes are made to your account or services;
- provide you with customer and technical support;
- make you aware of products or services that may be of interest to you;
- understand the use of, and identify improvements to, our services;
- detect unauthorized reception, use, or abuse of our services;
- determine whether there are violations of any applicable policies and terms of service;
- manage the network supporting our services;
- maintain our accounting and tax records; and/or
- comply with applicable law.
We describe above in Section A how we use anonymous information relating to our transactional and interactive services, and Section D ("Special rules associated with CPNI") below describes how we use CPNI.
C. When does Spectrum disclose customer information?
Spectrum will not disclose personally identifiable information to others unless (a) you provide appropriate consent in advance or (b) it is permitted or required under applicable law, as described below.
We may furnish your name and address to marketing organizations, programmers and other businesses. Section 631 of the federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (the "Cable Act") allows us to disclose this "mailing list" information unless you contact us and tell us otherwise.
We may also use or disclose customer information, including personally identifiable information, without your consent to protect our customers, employees, or property, in emergency situations, to enforce our rights under our terms of service and policies, if your account is referred to a collection agency or attorney, in court or elsewhere, and as otherwise permitted by law.
For all of the same purposes for which we use personally identifiable information as described in Section B above, we may sometimes disclose such information to our affiliates, agents, contractors, outside auditors, professional advisors, service providers and vendors, potential business merger, acquisition, or sale partners, and regulators. If a new company were to take ownership of our cable system, we reserve the right to disclose and transfer all customer information, including personally identifiable information, to the successor company. We describe above in Section A when we disclose to third parties anonymous customer information relating to our cable services.
D. Special rules associated with CPNI
We may also disclose customer information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with features and services associated with phone service, such as directory services, Caller ID, and 911/E911. We include your name, address, and telephone number in telephone directories we publish and in our directory assistance service, and provide it to third parties for directories and directory assistance. Once published, it may be packaged and provided by anyone. We take reasonable precautions to ensure that non-published and unlisted numbers are not included in our telephone directories or directory assistance services, but we cannot guarantee that errors will never occur. Your name and/or telephone number will be sent for display on Caller ID devices unless you elect to block it. (Please note that Caller ID blocking may not prevent that display when you dial certain business or emergency numbers, 911, or toll-free numbers.) We also provide your name, address, and telephone number to public safety authorities and their vendors for E911 and "reverse 911" use.
As part of delivering our services, federal law permits us to use and disclose CPNI to provide, bill, and collect for service, and to provide call location information for wireless phone service. Federal law and FCC rules also place restrictions on how we use CPNI for marketing purposes. However, they do permit us to use your CPNI to market other communications related products and services to you unless you object to such use as described in Section I below. If you agree, we may also use CPNI during any call you make to us to provide telemarketing, referral, or administrative services to you. We may also use CPNI to protect our rights and property, and protect users of our phone services and other carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activities.
E. When is Spectrum required by law to disclose customer information?
We must disclose customer information, including PII, when required by the terms of valid legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant. If a court order requires us to disclose personally identifiable information to a third party non-governmental entity, we are required to notify you. If you subscribe to our cable television services and a government entity is seeking information regarding your selection of video programming, federal law requires that you be afforded notice of and the opportunity to appear and contest in a court proceeding relevant to the court order any claims made in support of the court order. At such a proceeding, the government entity is required to offer clear and convincing evidence that the subject of the information is reasonably suspected of engaging in criminal activity and that the information sought would be material evidence in the prosecution of the case.
In some situations we may disclose personally identifiable information and CPNI about you to representatives of government or to comply with a court order without your consent and without advance or any notice to you, except that in these cases our disclosure is not to include records revealing your selection of video programming. In other situations (for example, if you owe or are owed welfare or child support), state welfare agencies may by administrative subpoena obtain your name, address, and other information as it appears in our records. We are required to notify the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of information about child pornography that we become aware of in the course of providing our services. This information may be provided without a court order, and we do not have to give you notice and the opportunity to contest such disclosure.
If we notify you of specific legal requests or orders for personally identifiable information, and there is an opportunity for you to object to such disclosures, it is then up to you to object or take specific action to prevent these disclosures.
F. How does Spectrum protect customer information?
We take such actions as are necessary to prevent unauthorized access to customer information by a person other than you or us. We use security and encryption technologies to secure certain sensitive personally identifiable information we collect over the Service. We limit access to our customer database to those who are authorized, and secure its content with firewalls and other security methods. When we anonymize or aggregate information to remove your personal identity, we will use safeguards to reduce any risk of others identifying you from the anonymized or aggregated records. We cannot guarantee, however, that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personally identifiable information. We also expect you to protect your information and ensure that no unauthorized users can obtain any of our services or your information indirectly or directly from you.
G. How long does Spectrum maintain customer information?
We maintain customer information, including personally identifiable information, while you are a subscriber to Spectrum services. We also maintain customer information for a period of time after you are no longer a subscriber if the information is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to satisfy legal requirements. These purposes typically include business, legal, accounting or tax purposes. If these purposes no longer apply, we will destroy the information according to our internal policies and procedures.
H. Can I see the information that Spectrum collects about me?
You have a right to see the personally identifiable information about you that we collect and maintain in our regular business records. In most cases, the personally identifiable information contained in these records consists solely of billing and account information. If you would like to see your personally identifiable information, please contact us by mail or telephone, giving us a reasonable period of time to locate and, if necessary, prepare the information for review, and to arrange an appointment during regular business hours. You will only be permitted to examine records that contain personally identifiable information about your account and no other account. If your review reveals an error in our records, Spectrum will correct it. We reserve the right to charge you for the cost of retrieving and photocopying any documents that you request.
If you make a written request for a copy of your CPNI, we will disclose the relevant information we have to you at the address we have for your account, or to any person authorized by you, if we reasonably believe the request is valid. For telephone and online access to your CPNI such as outbound call detail records, we require that you first authenticate your identity using a password established using our online system. You can find out more about online access to your CPNI at www.brighthouse.com. We generally do not provide our subscribers with records of calls received, records that are only in our archives, other records that we do not furnish as part of a telephone bill, web-browsing history, IP address logs or any other information that we do not create or maintain in the ordinary course of business unless there is a court order or similar legal process. If there are errors in names, addresses, or telephone numbers in our vendors' directory lists, or if you have been omitted from the directory, the correction cannot be made until the next available publication. Please understand that we may have no control over information appearing in directory lists or provided by directory assistance services which we do not own.
I. Can I prohibit or limit Spectrum's use and disclosure of my customer information?
You have some choices in how we use or disclose customer information.
If you do not want to be included in mailing lists provided to third parties as explained in Section C, please contact us to be removed.
If you do not want to receive telemarketing calls from Spectrum, call us at one of our Business Offices to be placed on our Do Not Call list. To help reduce unwanted telemarketing calls, the FCC offers telephone subscribers the opportunity to register their residential telephone numbers in its national Do Not Call registry. You may register for the list without charge by calling the FTC at 1- 888-382-1222 or TYY 1-866-290-4236 from the telephone number you are registering or online at www.donotcall.gov. Registration will not eliminate all telephone calls to you from us, because we are still permitted to make calls related to your account.
If you do not want us to use your CPNI to market communications-related services to you, please contact us to prevent such use.
Occasionally, you may be asked during a telephone call with one of our representatives for your oral consent for us to use your CPNI for making such an offer for other services. If you agree, we will use your CPNI only for the duration of that telephone call.
If you deny or restrict your approval for us to use your CPNI, you will suffer no effect, now or in the future, on how we provide any services to which you subscribe. Any denial or restriction of your approval remains valid until your services are discontinued or you affirmatively revoke or limit such approval or denial.
J. Your California privacy rights
California law entitles our California customers to request additional information from a business which shares personally identifiable information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third parties, for their own direct marketing purposes. We may share personally identifiable information with some same-branded affiliates, however, for those affiliates' direct marketing purposes. If you contact us, we will provide you with the names and addresses of our same-branded affiliates in California and a list of personally identifiable information that we may have shared with them.
K. How does Spectrum protect children's privacy?
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 over our Service. Our Services are not directed at, or intended for use by, children under the age of 13. Children should always get permission from a parent or guardian before sending personal information over the Internet. Other services or web pages accessed through our Service may have different policies on collection of information pertaining to children and you should consult their privacy policies and read their notices.
L. Cookies, tracking and targeted marketing
Spectrum may place "cookies" in your browser that contain customer information when you set up a personalized service or customize your settings and preferences on our websites or mobile applications. We do not store sensitive personally identifiable information such as your password, e-mail address or credit card number in cookies. Cookies enable us to control the display of ads, track usage patterns, help diagnose problems with our services, gather demographic information, analyze trends, conduct research, and otherwise administer the Service. Additionally, Spectrum uses a third party provider to place our internet ads. The provider uses "pixel tags," an industry standard technology used by most major websites to collect anonymous information about your visits to our site and your interaction with our products and services. The provider may also use information about your visits to this and other sites to target advertisements for merchandise and services and to gauge the effectiveness of advertisements. No personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, phone number or email address, is collected or used in this process. If you would like more information about this practice and your option to not have this anonymous information used by our third party provider, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.
You may opt out of the cookies delivered by Spectrum on its websites by changing the setting on your browser. Depending on your privacy settings, please be aware that this may disable all cookies delivered to your browser, not just the ones delivered by Spectrum. Because a "Do Not Track" protocol has not yet been finalized, Spectrum's information collection and disclosure practices, and the choices that we provide to consumers, will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Notice, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.
Third-party ad serving companies and other unaffiliated advertisers may also display advertisements on our websites. As part of their service, they may place a separate cookie on your computer or utilize other means, such as, web beacons, clear GIFs, pixel tags or other similar technologies, to collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server, and whether you responded to a particular advertisement. This use of these technologies by third parties is subject to their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Notice, and we have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith. To find out more about third party advertising and whether certain opt-outs are available, visit http://www.aboutads.info.
M. How do I contact Spectrum?
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this privacy notice, or wish to contact us about your personal information, please contact us by mail at:
Charter Communications
Attn: Legal-Privacy
400 Atlantic Street, 10th floor
Stamford, CT 06901
or by email at: email@example.com
N. What can I do if I believe Spectrum has violated my privacy rights?
If you believe that you have been aggrieved by any act of ours in violation of law, we encourage you to contact us directly as described above in Section K in order to resolve your question or concern. You may also enforce the limitations imposed on us by the Cable Act with respect to your personally identifiable information through a civil lawsuit in federal district court seeking damages, attorneys fees, and litigation costs. Other rights and remedies may be available to you under federal or other applicable laws as well.

A Libertarian Viewpoint
This post was written by Ricky, a long time Left & Right Politics reader. We're happy to share his thoughts here.
As a libertarian, I feel that there is much to be done for America, particularly with regard to the central banking industry and the corporate welfare that we have been promoting with all of the big-bank bailouts. It is alarming to think that as a country we will accept the fact that we could let our government spend more than $100 billion to save companies that are using practices that do not work. This simply has taught the banks that they are too big to fail and that they can never do wrong and will always be propped up.
What does this tell them about how they should conduct their business? It tells them that they don't need to change any policy and can participate in any business that reaps the fastest short term benefits imaginable. Companies that function on a short term profit model will always fail if they are not going to be considering what kind of incentives exist for the employees. The incentives need to be for rewarding long term growth options and not simply what looks the best for one year's balance sheet.
If it weren't alarming enough that we are subsidizing one set of the economy, we are currently planning on taxing another side of the economy by imposing artificial cap and trade incentives to actually not produce anything! A cap and trade law designed to limit carbon emissions to attempt to address the "global warming" that is being plastered across newspapers and media to distract from the serious issues affecting our economy. If there is in fact a global warming problem, companies will be jumping at the opportunity to create a solution as soon as it becomes economical for them to do so; not based on punishing them for their industry but rewarding them for their creativity in solving a problem.
The reason why there aren't any companies at the moment addressing this issue is that it has not been sufficiently proven to be an economical detriment to our society yet the sentiment is that something must be done and it will be our industries that take the hit while our over-seas competition gets the advantage of unimpeded production. Lastly, the issue of the drug war that is costing our country billions in prosecution has done nothing but create criminals out of people that are doing something that has no victims except themselves. While many of the problems with drugs are societal involving addiction and poverty, the violence that is associated with the illegal trade would be quickly nullified if we were to legalize drugs.
As a stepping stone, the simple legalization of marijuana, a non addictive substance with less harmful side effects than alcohol, and free up millions in resources that could be used to reduce tax burdens on small businesses and actually create taxable industry within the united states by licensing marijuana growers, distributors, and retailers.

Perfect low glycemic sugar for my baking needs

Perfect low glycemic sugar for my baking needs
I've recently started using this by making a syrup out of it to use in recipes that call for either honey or agave nectar, and it works beautifully as an alternative to those: 1 1/4 c. palm sugar 1/2 c. water Bring to boil on medium heat stirring to dissolve sugar. Stop stirring and continue to boil for 3 minutes. It will thicken up as it cools.

Nature`s own pure, sweet, delicious "sugar"
Posted by Reviewer2124231 on Apr 07, 2011 | Verified Purchase
Great taste, very affordable, and much better to use than other sweeteners. Here in Norway this product costs about $37. But thanks to iHerb i can now replace all of my white sugar with this healthier "sugar", without having to think of the cost. Will buy again and again and again and again!! But they should really call this "Coconut Flower Nectar" (or something like that. People are easily scared by the sugar name)
Too good!
Posted by Reviewer3060686 on Feb 20, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Beware, because this palm sugar is dangerously good! Ok, joking aside I can still say that this beats any other brown /organic sugar I have ever tried. It has replaced honey as my preferred sweetener because of its delicate taste and not to mention the benefit of the minerals etc it contains. Knowing that this is fair-trade and helping families to an income makes it taste even sweeter to me... Try it in your warm cocoa- simply too good !
Great taste and low GI
Posted by eatrightchef on Jan 19, 2010 | Verified Purchase
My husband loves it! He would only eat cane sugar before but now I have him successfully converted to this lower GI sweetener.
Posted by Reviewer2505410 on Jan 19, 2010 | Verified Purchase
kudos to iherb for carrying palm sugar, wonderfully good in all my baking, etc. Can be used in same ratio as table sugar. Has a glycemic index of only 35 & a lot of nutrient value, especially minerals! I'll be using this as my main sugar substitute from now on.
Love this sugar
Posted by Reviewer2805557 on Nov 03, 2010 | Verified Purchase
This sugar is natural and not too sweet. It tastes delicious with a distinctive flavour. Wonderful on oatmeal etc. Low glycemic is a bonus.
Organic Palm sugar
Posted by Reviewer2207490 on Dec 07, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I love the flavor of this! It works great in place of sugar.
Posted by Reviewer1350062 on Feb 05, 2010 | Verified Purchase
This is the best sugar I have tried so far and seriously, I have tried them all. I cannot seem to find out if this sugar contains Lauric Acid like coconut oil, but it doesn't cause my fungus rash to come back so I am sold. Essential for Thai cooking too.
works well in baking
Posted by x-tine on Nov 08, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I have had great results substituting dry sugar 1:1 with this this product; works well in cookies, brownies, muffins, etc., especially recipies that call for brown sugar. Palm sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar and agave. And this product is certified organic too.
I love this company
Posted by Reviewer2463518 on May 07, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Tastes delicious. All their products are top notch and this one is no different.

A man is in custody following a Tuesday afternoon shooting in Bellflower involving a deputy from the Lakewood Sheriff's Station, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department official said.
No one was injured in the shooting, said Deputy Lillian Peck, a spokeswoman with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The suspect's identity wasn't released yet, Peck said.
The shooting took place at 4:24 p.m. at the intersection of Bellflower Boulevard and Cedar Street, but Peck didn't have any information explaining the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Internal affairs officials with the Sheriff's Department were on the scene investigating the shooting, Peck said.
Whenever a deputy-involved shooting occurs with Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, and the suspect isn't wounded, multiple investigations immediately begin at the scene, including separate investigations by the sheriff's Internal Affairs Bureau and the sheriff's station or Detective Division investigators.
Attorneys with the Los Angeles Office of Independent Review also respond to the scene and have full access to the facts known to the Sheriff's Department throughout the investigations.

See What Sticks: WSJ Op-Ed Launches Yet Another Unsupported Legal Attack on Obamacare

A Wall Street Journal op-ed by former Reagan and Bush administration lawyers David Rivkin Jr. and Lee Casey launches another in a series of legally suspect attacks on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. But this new challenge to the constitutionality of the individual mandate, based on the Constitution's "Uniformity Clause," is so fanciful that even other conservative media question its validity.
Conceding that their argument has been "rarely considered," Rivkin and Casey nonetheless claim that because Roberts upheld the individual mandate under Congress' power to tax, it is now subject to the "Uniformity Clause," which requires the tax to "be uniform throughout the United States":
[B]y transforming the mandate into a tax to avoid one set of constitutional problems (Congress having exceeded its constitutionally enumerated powers), the court has created another problem. If the mandate is an indirect tax, as the Supreme Court held, then the Constitution's "Uniformity Clause" (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1) requires the tax to "be uniform throughout the United States."
[Al]though the court has upheld as "uniform" taxes that affect states differently in practice, precedent makes clear that a permissible tax must "operate with the same force and effect in every place where the subject of it is found," as held in the Head Money Cases (1884). The ObamaCare tax arguably does not meet this standard.
ObamaCare provides that low-income taxpayers, who are nevertheless above the federal poverty line, can discharge their mandate-tax obligation by enrolling in the new, expanded Medicaid program, which serves as the functional equivalent of a tax credit. But that program will not now exist in every state because, as a matter of federal law, states can opt out. The actual tax burden will not be geographically uniform as the court's precedents require.
But Rivkin and Casey neglect to mention that their argument has in fact been considered and rejected more than once since 1884. The Congressional Research Service concluded the argument presented "no constitutional issue" because the individual mandate would "satisfy the requirement of uniformity...on its face," pursuant to the more recent case of United States v. Ptasynski. That 1983 Supreme Court decision held that "it was settled fairly early that the [Uniformity] Clause does not require Congress to devise a tax that falls equally or proportionately on each State." Quoting from yet another Supreme Court opinion, Ptasynski further observed that "[t]he uniformity provision does not deny Congress the power to take into account differences that exist between different parts of the country, and to fashion legislation to resolve geographically isolated problems." As such:
Where Congress defines the subject of a tax in nongeographic terms, the Uniformity Clause is satisfied. See Knowlton v. Moore, 178 U.S. at 178 U. S. 106. We cannot say that, when Congress uses geographic terms to identify the same subject, the classification is invalidated. The Uniformity Clause gives Congress wide latitude in deciding what to tax and does not prohibit it from considering geographically isolated problems.
The National Review Online's Matthew Franck also found Rivkin and Casey's arguments unconvincing, noting that they did not consider (or quote) the rest of the 1884 Supreme Court case they cited:
But it's not at all clear that the choice of a state to opt out of a program that would make the alternative to paying the tax cheaper, or relieve affected persons of the taxpaying obligation altogether, renders the federal tax geographically non-uniform for constitutional purposes. All persons similarly situated-unable or unwilling to purchase health insurance, while obligated either to do so or to pay a tax-will be subject to the tax. The reasons for their being subject to the tax may be partly in the power of the state governments where they live-and the authority of states to make a choice that costs them something may itself be authorized by federal law-but that does not necessarily mean that the federal government has used its taxing power in a non-uniform manner. In the Head Money ruling itself, the Court held that the tax in question (if it really was a tax, and not an exercise of the commerce power-oh, how the world turns), a 50-cent charge on foreign passengers entering the country at American seaports, was not invalid by virtue of its not applying to foreigners entering the country over land by rail. "[T]he law applies to all ports alike," the Court observed, and added: "Perfect uniformity and perfect equality of taxation, in all the aspects in which the human mind can view it, is a baseless dream, as this court has said more than once."
Despite the apparent holes in Rivkin and Casey's arguments, supporters of the Affordable Care Act should not ignore them. Rivkin has a notable track record in moving off-the-wall legal arguments into the political mainstream, as he was among the first to suggest - similarly without any support in existing law -- that the individual mandate might be unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause.

Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council reform: Joint Statement by Brazil, Germany, India and Japan
(Statement as prepared for delivery by Ambassador Wittig on behalf of Brazil, Germany, India and Japan at the 9th round of the Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council reform)
"Mr. Chairman,
I will make a statement on behalf of the G4 countries Brazil, Germany, India and Japan.
Thank you for convening this meeting which is long overdue.
More than half a year ago, the UN General Assembly unanimously decided to immediately continue intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform. We appreciate your genuine efforts to implement this mandate and we look forward to constructive discussions under your able leadership. Valuable time has passed since we last met in July last year. We need to redouble our efforts to achieve progress in this current session of the General Assembly.
Mr. Chairman, you have invited us today to suggest options for the way forward. We appreciate this results-oriented approach and we encourage you to structure the coming discussions during this round in the same spirit. Let us build on what we have achieved. Let us not try to reinvent the wheel. Let us move beyond a mere repetition of old statements and known positions. We need to focus on achieving concrete progress, and not get stuck in futile discussions over process.
Discussions held during the last round of the Intergovernmental Negotiations have shown a renewed sense of urgency to move forward towards real negotiations on Security Council reform. The strong support for a reform model anchored in an expansion in both categories of membership was yet again registered. You have adequately reflected this in your assessment of the discussion contained in your letter of 25 July 2012.
It is also no secret that frustration among member states is growing with the negligible progress achieved on this important agenda item. We share the view of the overwhelming majority of Member States that we have to move to real negotiations on comprehensive Security Council reform at the earliest. The time has come to finally move from words to action. We have repeatedly placed on record our determination to work toward this goal in close cooperation with Member States and in a spirit of flexibility.
Mr. Chairman, you have made useful and constructive proposals on how to achieve tangible progress and inject greater momentum. The proposals were circulated to all member states by the President of the 66th General Assembly on 27 July 2012. The General Assembly also took note of your proposals in its decision 66/556 of 13 September 2012, and noted with appreciation your active role and concrete efforts with a view to an early comprehensive reform of the Security Council.
Against this background, the agenda for this round of negotiations is clear: We should focus on your proposals in more detail. We should give you, our Chairman, the opportunity to share with member states your thoughts on these proposals, and we should jointly discuss how they could be made operational. This could be done, for instance, by discussing these proposals, one by one, in the coming sessions.
Mr. Chairman, we are convinced that the drafting of a "concise working document" could prove instrumental in focusing Member State efforts on finding common ground. It would need to reflect the discussions held during the negotiations as well as the essence of your updated negotiation text (Rev. 3). Such a document would finally help Member States to engage in real give-and-take negotiations on options that enjoy broad support.
We also look forward to hearing more from you on the idea of holding a high-level meeting on Security Council reform to inject greater political momentum into the reform process. Let us explore this idea in more detail.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, let me once again reiterate that the G4 countries have spared no effort in seeking to achieve tangible progress on Security Council reform. Rather than safeguarding the status quo, we continue to aim at moving the reform process forward. In so doing, we have received strong support from a large, cross-regional group of Member States from small and large, developing and developed countries alike. We continue to stand ready to engage with other like-minded stakeholders and groups, with whom we share the common cause in seeking early reforms of the Security Council.
Thank you."

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 29, 2010)
"The Jews say, 'Allah's hand is chained.' Their hands are chained and they are cursed for what they say! No! Both His hands are open wide and He gives however He wills. What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of them in insolence and disbelief. We have incited enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Rising. Each time they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They rush about the earth corrupting it. Allah does not love corrupters." (Surat al-Ma'ida, 64)
This verse again addresses those who do this, but it does not mean that all Jews are parsimonious. It refers to those people who behave like that, to whoever says that. Not all of them. Isn't that right? Who said it? They did. They are cursed. This increases their impudence and denial, and it is a miracle of the Qur'an. They were hugely upset by the idea a prophet had not come to the People of Israel at that time.2011-02-26 21:14:27

I'm sure apple cares, but there's nothing they can do to stop it. Maybe they should stop being so dam secretive & show there new ideas a few weeks before production. Apple's old marketing strategy of introducing a new item a week or so before release, no longer works.
I love the new features in iPhone 5 ... but i just hope they change the design...
at least something like this.... not by making iphone 4/4S taller... thats lame
I hope this is true.. can't wait for it. Been wanting an ipad this size for a long time. BUT... BUT... maybe the iPhone 5 is big enough?
Agreed when Android phones were on "fake" 4G on AT&T (HSPA+ or whatever its called) they didn't mind it. But when iPhone 4S on AT&T was called 4G.. android people had a fit.
What are people talking about the iphone 5 is crap! If apple doenst push a jaw dropped product in the year they will start losing customers. You may or may not agree but i am an apple fan boy and i was seriously disappointed that were just getting a 4inch screen. Look what the competitions has. Everyphone has its ups and downs but really.. waited a year for the iphone 5 when its the 6th iphone... mite was welll call it the iphone 4s+

PHILADELPHIA – Penn announced its 2013-14 wrestling schedule today, a slate highlighted by Penn's first trip to the Grapple at the Garden in Madison Square Garden, the Red and Blue's first trip to Chattanooga, Tenn. for the Southern Scuffle and an opportunity to host the EIWA Championships on home mats in The Palestra with NCAA bids on the line.
"This is a schedule designed to test our team and prepare us for what we hope to be a successful postseason run in March," head coach Rob Eiter said. "It is important that we go out in search of the best competition and we feel that goal has been met. I know our guys are excited to get on the mats and show what they are made of."
The 2013-14 season will begin for Penn at the East Stroudsburg Open on Nov. 17, the first time Penn will compete in the ESU Open since 1994.
The next week, Penn will again host its annual tournament, the Keystone Classic. The 19th Keystone Classic will feature 12 teams, including American, Appalachian State, Arizona State, Bloomsburg, Boston University, Harvard, Indiana, N.C. State, Northwestern, Pitt and Rider in addition to the host Quakers. Last year, Canaan Bethea and C.J. Cobb won Keystone titles for Penn, and a total of 38 wrestlers who went on to compete in the NCAA Championships wrestled in the Keystone Classic – including nine of the 10 champions and 14 of 20 finalists.
"The Keystone Classic is again going to be a challenging field," said Eiter. "It truly is a national event and a great early-season test for our wrestlers to get a feel for what it will take to secure a high finish later in the season."
The first day of December will be a first for the Penn Wrestling program as the Quakers will head to the Big Apple for the second Grapple at the Garden event in Madison Square Garden. The Red and Blue will square off with new EIWA rival Boston University (10 a.m.) and Keystone State foe Bloomsburg (noon) in MSG – an event sure to be circled on everyone's calendar.
Penn's first home dual of the season will come against perennial rival Lehigh on Dec. 8 in The Palestra. The Quakers knocked off the Mountain Hawks in Bethlehem last year, and will be looking for their first back-to-back wins over Lehigh since 2007-08.
After a break for exams and the holidays, the Quakers will ring in 2014 at the Southern Scuffle(Jan. 1-2) in Chattanooga, Tenn. Penn has not competed at the Scuffle since 2010 when it was still contested in Greensboro, N.C. and this will be Penn's first every wrestling competition held in the state of Tennessee. Last year, 29 wrestlers who placed in the Top-8 at the Scuffle went on to earn All-American honors at the NCAA Championships. Eight wrestlers who reached the finals at NCAAs competed at the Scuffle, including five wrestlers who would go on to win national titles.
Penn won't hit the road for a dual until mid-January when the Quakers travel to Lincoln, Neb. for a tilt with Big Ten opponent Nebraska. The Red and Blue will be looking for their first win over the Huskers, entering 0-1-1 in two previous meetings. Penn's last win against a Big Ten opponent came at No. 24 Penn State on Feb. 20, 2009 by a 20-13 margin.
Nine consecutive EIWA duals await the Quakers to close of the 2013-14 regular season, beginning with newcomer to the conference Binghamton on Jan. 17. The Friday night dual in The Palestra will be preceded by a high school dual featuring high school powers Wyoming Seminary and Bergen Catholic. Two days later, the Quakers will head to Lewisburg to wrestle Bucknell at 2 p.m.
On Jan. 26, Penn will host Army for the first time since 1979 for a 1 p.m. matinee. The dual will be just the second between the two schools since 1980 and the fifth since 1957. All-time, Penn is 10-11-4 against Army.
Defending Ivy League champion Cornell comes to The Palestra on Feb. 1 to begin a stretch of five Ivy duals for the Quakers. Penn has finished second to the Big Red each of the last 11 years in the League race, and the winner of the Penn-Cornell dual has gone on to win the last 12 Ivy championships.
After a road trip to New England for a pair of duals at Harvard (Feb. 7) and Brown (Feb. 8), the Quakers return home for Senior Day against Columbia on Feb. 15 at 1 p.m. Penn will close out the regular season with a pair of duals on Feb. 22, first heading to Princeton (1 p.m.) before settling some neighborhood issues at Drexel at 5 p.m. The dual at the DAC will be Penn's first foray down 33rd Street since 1998.
For the 16th time in tournament history, Penn will host the EIWA Championships when the 16 member schools of the EIWA converge on Philadelphia and The Palestra March 8-9. The Quakers last hosted the EIWA Championships in 2009, and will look to become the first host school to capture the team title since Lehigh in 2006.
All roads will lead to Oklahoma City and the Chesapeake Energy Arena for the NCAA Championships March 20-22. The last time the NCAA Championships were held in Oklahoma City saw current assistant coach Matt Valenti C'07 pick up the first of back-to-back NCAA titles.

Sample top-notch Vietnamese cooking, with a forte in seafood, at this no-frills Kingsland Road stalwart.
Much derided for its rather unimpressive, run-down façade and pretty shabby, paint-peeling decor (which could all be remedied fairly quickly and cheaply), Mien Tay is nevertheless a great place to get authentic, top-notch food. The two-roomed interior is cramped, and filled with staff who seem to do lots of unnecessary wandering up and down. The very reasonable prices attract a fairly young, mostly western clientele, and the idiosyncratic layout manages to accommodate at least one long table for parties, and two nicely tucked-away tables for duos. As for the food, stir-fried green mussels with ginger and spring onion was a delight: plump and tasty mussels, perfectly cooked à point, with a sauce that was spot-on. Scallops with black bean sauce were equally brilliant; the chef here obviously has a way with seafood. Lẫu, or seafood hotpot (for a minimum of two diners) seems equally appealing. There's a short but excellent wine list, compiled for the restaurant by Willie Lebus of Bibendum, plus the two usual beers, Tiger and Saigon.

Mien Tay has the best pho you can find in London. Not the best service or decor, but you don't go to Mien Tay if that is what you are looking for - you go for the amazing Vietnamese food which they definitely deliver on. Clapham branch is just as good as the Shoreditch one.
In an area with so many Vietnamese restaurants to choose from, I find myself fiercely loyal to Mien Tay.
Don't expect the world's best service, but do expect deliciously authentic Vietnamese food at a really good price.
I'd go as far as saying it's the best Vietnamese food I've had outside of Vietnam. Definitely worth a visit, to either here or their Clapham branch which is just as good.
Been many times and have always been thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience, the SW London branch is also worth a visit if you're that side of the city!
I had similar expreience like Daniel below. I ordered summer rolls. One with tofu and mushroom, the other one with shrimp and papaya. I had them without mushroom and without papaya. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said they ran out of mushrooms but the papaya should be in the roll and she just left me. I have not been offered anything else and the manager was rude as well and they charge me fully. £9 for this is a big failure. You should go somewhere else because customer service is rubbish, food is below the avarage.
My wife and I (along with another couple) dined at Mien Tay the past Saturday evening and we had a fabulous meal. We rolled up to a packed restaurant with no booking and we were treated to prawn crackers while we were standing and waiting for our table. Once seated, I went with the amazing "Chargrilled Minced Beef in Wild Betel Leaves" (Bò lá lốt) followed by the satisfying "Spicy Rice Vermicelli Soup with Beef" (Bún huế bò). The others ordered aubergines, quail, some form of those well-known transparent rolls and a couple bowls of pho. We were all happy with the food and the service. I would definitely return.
I generally cannot be bothered to review places I go to but after this experience, and also after seeing how good timeout is rating this I felt I had to contribute.
I found a big bug on my main dish, a BIG BUG, not a flies, one big thing with legs, that does not fly.
I should not comment further but I will also tell you that the manager was incredibly rude, insisting that we paid the whole meal after all of us seven people stopped eating aniything because we were absolutely disgusted.
After insisting we had roughly 30£ discount, with is still unacceptable for this unpleasant experience.
I recommend people to watch the hygiene rating on food standard agency, I did after going there for the first time and with no surprised I saw it is rated 2/5 which is poor.
I love timeout and I am quite surprised they do consider that a good place, you can tell its dirty even without a dead bug On the prawn noodles.
How the mighty have fallen - well, maybe not mighty, but good enough to get great reviews! Comparing the multiple past plaudits with the rude service and mediocre-to-bad food dished out on a wet afternoon visit when we took refuge in the founding Shoreditch branch - assuming that we would be in safe hands, given past praise - Mien Tay certainly appears to have gone West... It started out with some of the worst service ever suffered - not just rude but confrontational... yes, it does take two to tango, but a waiter insisting that it was too much trouble to move two paper napkins, two knives and two forks from one table to another even when we offered to do it ourselves. Oh, and the table we wanted was nearer the kitchen, so just bloody mindedness. "Extraordinarily friendly staff" claims one review, quoted in Mien Tay's menu; yeah, right... must have been their day off, unfortunately. Still, it's raining out and there aren't so many places open at three in the afternoon... so rise above the obstructive rudeness, the food's had rave reviews! Yeah, right... simple lunch so it's a shared starter with two mains and rice. Vegetarian Spring Rolls came freshly fried - witness not just the temperature but the amount of cooking oil still running off them. With them came a very large bunch of mixed herbs plus some crinkle-cut carrots, which could only have been an attempt at "decoration" as they had obviously been passed from plate to plate: worse than "tired" they had certainly gone West! - fit only for the compost. My partner's Traditional Crispy Pancake with Tofu, Onions & Beansprouts, was generous, as was my Stir-fried Eel with Galangal - both instances where more is less, enjoyment. "Dull" isn't quite praise for the pancake, but close to it, but the eel was worse: imagine (the squeamish should stop reading at this point) finger thickness of skin-on eel, covered in a squidgy batter and then smothered (as in "asphyxiated") in a creamy gunk that seemed like bought Korma meets Emlea. During the short time it was in front of me, it formed an artificial skin reminiscent of plasic surgery. The rice was OK; the bill didn't include Service and we certainly didn't leave any - we spent that on Rennies
Worst new year eve meal ever. Waiter forgot our beers and brought them out after we finished almost everything. Stilled tried to charge us for the beers after that first by saying they lost the bill but remember it worth 142£. When we refused to pay without the bill, they make a fake wrong bill and we caught that by looking at the menu. After that, waiter still tried to maked us pay for the beer he broke in front of us by telling the manager we had one beer before order. Manager defended his employee and tried to tricked us into paying the full bill by saying he will pay us the money for the beers in cash after we pay for the whole bill??? When we refuse, waiter sweared and tried to be violent. So Please Please Please take my advise, DO NOT even think about eating here cause that will be the BIGGEST MISTAKE of your life. My name is Daniel and my number is 07576875875. Im not afraid of standing up against this kinda people so just contact me if you have anything you want to know about this
Go there, ask for Ken and listen to his recommendations! Both meals I had there were good, but the fiery papaya salad and whole fish were the best. We had great, friendly and helpful service on both visits.
I had a delicious beef pho and a wonderful quail. Everything is very tasty and the staff is nice. £20 for two people, I'll be back !
I had a really delicious goat with galangal and green papaya salad. Their pho is good too. Complete with kitschy vietnamese decor, which all adds to the flavour - I've always had great service whenever I've been there, and the food is fresh and fast. Well priced. Great place!
Excellent food at cheap price! Waiter is rude but I don't care!
you don't come here for the decor or the service. But the food is fantastic, and very reasonably priced. Staff are polite, but the whole place runs on speed. Still, it has a great atmosphere, and the spicy squid is superb. Can't stop coming here.
Avoid this place at all costs. The waiters are rude, they rush you and try and take away your dishes before you've even finished eating. They also short changed us and shouted when we tried to contest this. Overall it was the worst service I have ever experienced in my life at any restaurant. The food was cold, toilets are dirty, and the decor is terrible. All in all a bad bad bad experience.
Great food. Goat curry and the Mien Tay spring rolls are a must eat. Service wasn't overly friendly however Mien Tay is all great, cheap food and not the surroundings.
First visit with a group for a b'day, food was average but serivce was below average! To sum up, the b'day cake we brought in to ask them to serve for us after looks like it was about to fall apart as it didn't seem like they'd kept it in a cool place, but worse of all, the waiter said to us he didn't have enough plates (14 plates) and suggest we use nakpin or something. We ended up taking the melting cake back home..disappointing end of a b'day as you can imagine. Our first and last visit for sure, so there you go...
Very bad service, the waiter wasn't able to take the order right. 3 people, 3 dishes, 3 drinks, I don't think it's hard. We had to reorder the drinks as they never came, and 1 dish came 30 minutes after the 2 others, and the owners don't even have the decency to apologise. On top of that the place look dirty and the food is not even great...
It's alright. Tried all of the Vietnamese restaurants around there, and have no doubt that Cay Tre and Viet Grill are the best quality. I occasionally try a different one (e.g. Mien Tay) but always end up regretting it. Song Que is the best of the rest - don't mind the rudeness, seems to be part of the course - but the manager can actually be quite charming.
My fave of Kingsland road bunch. Salt and pepper squid is amazing. Yes, the tables are sticky and the service hit and miss, but at least they're not rude like they are at Song Que. I love it.
Let me make this simple and straight Service- alright - trying bit too much Food- mediocre -been to better places and worst places Place- was all jammed up in a small table - bamboo table felt icky (as in there was grease on it) Price - reasonably leaning towards the cheap side
Kingsland road is the harbour for many Vietnamese restaurants and so i had to try all of them. i've already ate at most of the other places and had left to try Mien Tay. It was packed when i went and i had to wait for around 30 minutes even though originally the waiter said the wait would only be 5-10 minutes. We were rushed to order so i ordered the famous vietnamese dishes; the PHO, Pancake, Salad (i can't remember which). When it arrived the Pho (main course) came out way before the starter (salad). The pho was normal, not that great and there was not enough of the accompanying beansprouts for me to enjoy. The beansprouts also looked brown and somewhat old. When the salad came it was lacking the crunch and so was the pancake. The salad was soggy and by the time we came to eat the pancake we was so hungry that it tasted alright. Would not recommend this place to anyone, it deserved 1 star however i gave it 2 as it was reasonably priced but not worth it. BTW we was also rushed to leave
Best Vietnames around, super cheap and excellent food! The service can be great or it can be awful, but it doesn't matter the food is too good for this to be an issue. Don't go here you you want artistic menus and a lovely wine list, or if you require the staff to wait on you hand and foot. DO go if you enjoy eating good grub, actually not good grub, if you enjoy eating some of the best grub around. All the bad reviews here seem to start with some complaint about the service, which obviously caused their tongue to reject anything that touches it. I wouldn't listen to them; I've been to most of the Vietnamese restaurants around and this is the best.

Michelle Williams on Destiny's Child reunion: 'Never Say Never'
Listen to Destiny's Child on iHeartRadio
Destiny's Child has been sending some mixed messages about a future reunion. Michelle Williams gave fans hope of seeing the "independent women" back on stage together when she told "E! News" that she's "never going to say never."
She did add, however, the reunion would have to be "something epic and worthwhile," in the same style as her appearance with Kelly Rowland during Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show in February. Michelle also said they would likely wait "a long time" because it would be difficult to top that performance.
Meanwhile, Beyonce included Destiny's Child 2001 hit "Survivor" on her set list when she kicked off her "Mrs. Carter Show" tour in Serbia on Monday. But earlier this month Kelly seemed to be trying to distance herself from the idea. When speaking to "Billboard" about a song on her upcoming solo album that features both Beyonce and Michelle, she emphasized that it was "not a Destiny's Child track."

The Chevrolet Corvette has always been a performance bargain, and the latest iteration is no exception. With a base MSRP of $54,000, it offers world-class performance and handling at half the price of sports cars from Europe. Even more impressive, the 2016 Corvette delivers amazing fuel economy for a 455-horsepower car, with an EPA-estimated 29 mpg on the highway.
Compare the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette against similar models
For 2016, the Chevrolet Corvette sees several small changes. Apple CarPlay smartphone integration is standard, as is a flat-bottom steering wheel, while Magnetic Ride Control is available on all Corvette trims. Parking cameras are available on top trims. Finally, a C7.R Special Edition, available in either coupe or convertible guise, offers the Z07 Performance Package with Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber ground effects, a suede competition sport seat, steering wheel and shifter and more. The package is available in either black or Corvette Racing Yellow.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission

Below are the available colors for the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Chevrolet Corvette is an icon, now in the third year of its seventh generation, which is why it's sometimes referred to as a C7.
The 2016 Corvette is available with two engines and as a coupe or convertible. The Stingray uses a 6.2-liter V8 making 455 hp and 460 foot-pounds of torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds. The Z06 uses a supercharged 6.2-liter making 650 horsepower and 650 foot-pounds of torque; with the 7-speed manual transmission the Z06 can accelerate 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, and with the 8-speed automatic it can do it in an eye-popping 2.95 seconds.
From the start, the C7 was designed with a solid aluminum body structure as a convertible, with the coupe top bringing extra rigidity; historically, convertibles have been created from coupes, so there has always been flexing and shake. That's a thing of the past, at least with Corvette engineering. Many good things result, from no interior rattles to much better cornering at speed.
The 2016 Stingray and 2016 Corvette Z06 get new options and color-coded interior and exterior design packages with special wheels, a carbon fiber hood, and special convertible tops. There will be 500 models made with the C7.R Edition package that mimics the fantastically successful factory racing cars.
Other new equipment for the 2016 Corvette includes a flat-bottom steering wheel, a power latch for the rear hatch, and an available front camera to prevent hitting the low spoiler on sidewalk curbs.
For all the performance, the Corvette still gets good mileage, with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg Combined city and highway. The Z06 with its humongous 650 horsepower is rated 16 mpg.
The Corvette comes as a Stingray or Z06, in coupe or convertible. Both come loaded with standard equipment.
The 2LT and 3LT interior packages add upholstery upgrades, a Bose 10-speaker audio system, and satellite navigation.
The Z51 package features wheels, brakes, dampers, springs, bars, a dry sump, an LSD, and upgraded cooling for the differential and transmission.
The Z07 upgrade features Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, adjustable aerodynamic devices front and rear, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires.
The latest Corvette has a supercar look, and it looks fast standing still. It's got a long and low hood and swept windshield. As a theme, it flaunts sharp lines and crisp angles, an array of creases and vents, planes that intersect and warp. It's as striking for the times as was the original split-window Stingray in 1963. And the Z06 has even wider fenders and an array of aerodynamic add-ons. Some observers don't love the European styling and the Camaro rear end.
The cabin is surprisingly luxurious, even the Z06 with its performance theme. Premium or soft-touch materials, available in deep colors, fully wrap the interior. Napa leather and other upgrade interior materials are available.
There's either a standard GT seat or Competition Sport seat with more bolstering. The GT seats are supportive, comfortable despite the low-slung cabin, and good for long periods behind the wheel. The Competition Sport seats are designed for smaller guys, so we suggest trying them on before buying.
The instrument panel is simple and focused on the driver, making it clear that the Stingray is about performance. The center stack has a carbon-fiber surround that looks like it came from a six-figure supercar.
Leg and head room are good for six-footers, and there's lots of room for personal bags under the rear hatch or in the convertible's trunk. The soft convertible top with raise and lower at 30 mph, so if you're caught in a sudden thunderstorm in a traffic jam, you're covered. The top is tight and affords good rearward visibility.
Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system in the Corvette is on par with that in European and Japanese super sports cars. The available Performance Data Recorder logs audio and video including while the car is being valet parked; but mostly it makes available a data overlay of key performance parameters.
The C7 Corvette is bred for performance. It can run with cars that cost twice as much. Its 6.2-liter V8, designated LT1, makes all the right sounds, and pushes the car through the quarter mile in 12 seconds with the 7-speed manual transmission, which mates great with the engine. The paddle-shifting 8-speed automatic, designed and built by GM, is a tenth quicker. It matches any dual clutch, and in fact Chevy says it beats the Porsche PDK shift times by 80 milliseconds, an eternity in the world of performance transmissions. During our test miles on the street and the track, we found that the 8-speed does a remarkable job using the paddles or letting the transmission shift itself, programmed by the Drive Mode Selector.
The Performance Traction Management system helps the driver control the car at race speeds. Even with the electronic aids shut down, the Stingray shows off remarkable poise and balance. Flat cornering, over 1 g of lateral grip, nimble reflexes, and accurate electric power steering yield satisfying times for the enthusiast. The Stingray transmits feedback to the driver so it's easy to feel what the car is doing.
If that weren't enough, a Z51 package is available to make the Stingray's performance even hotter. It includes lighter wheels, bigger brakes, an electronic rear differential, adjustable dampers, and tweaked aerodynamics including a rear spoiler. The Magnetic Ride Control is available on Stingrays without the whole Z51 package, along with the wheels and spoiler.
The Corvette Stingray offers the best bang for the buck among high-performance cars.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Bjarke Ingels Group's BIG Maze, announced this week by the National Building Museum, looks like a fun summer folly. I'll grant you that.
And it looks like a reasonably challenging maze, too. The 61-foot-by-61-foot maze, designed by BIG and built from Baltic birch plywood, is much larger in scope than the renderings suggest. Take a look at the floorplan:
Every labyrinth needs a minotaur, though, and that's what the BIG Maze is missing: a challenge. After all, this maze gets easier as you proceed through it. The 18-foot-tall walls actually descend in height as you navigate toward the center, meaning that someone standing in the middle of the maze can easily find the exit.
That's why ARCHITECT decided to add some bad guys.
The BIG Maze opens in July, so save your rupees and stock up on red potions.

This is not a bug. Moved
Using Backtrack 4, the liveCD worked fine so I ran the install script (no problems).
On boot though, I type in the root and password (which it accepts) and what follows is an infinite amount of "Unable to handle the kernel paging request" error messages. It just keeps going and doesn't end! I have tried the Live CD since and now that fails to start up.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 installed already.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3200
Geforce 6600
A8N-VM Motherboard
Thanks in advance!

2008 SULEV 128i concerns
Have been consiering a used 2008 128i convertible available locally with low miles and very clean. One item that's concerned me is that it's an SULEV version with the N51 engine (vehicle was sold new in CA).
I've done quite a bit of reading on this and have been unable to conclusively determine answers to the following:
1) Fuel pump integral with tank - I've seen this stated a number of places, but then again countered elsewhere. Checking RealOEM.com it appears the pump is separately available from the tank. Having to replace a fuel pump I can accept - it's mechanical, it can fail - but generally I consider the fuel tank to last as long as the vehicle (barring unusual circumstances). Having to replace the tank because the pump has failed, because the pump is integral to the tank, is a significant disadvantage. So, what's the situation on this - pump integral with tank or not?
2) The N51 has a number of additional emissions related components compared to the N52 and some components that are more expensive (e.g. stainless steel vs the standard material), meaning there is additional potential cost for repair as time goes on. Countering this is the extended warranty I keep hearing mentioned that applies to the SULEV emissions system. A potentially big gotcha in this regard is if the additional warranty applies to the vehicle where ever it may be, as with other warranties, or only within CARB states - and I am not in one. So, does the additional emissions warranty apply where ever the vehicle may be or is it limited to repair within a CARB state?
Thanks in advance to anyone who definatively clarify these issues.
1. Older SULEV models had a permanently installed pump. I believe the newer models have a replaceable pump. I would trust realoem.com over hearsay on forum.
2. Extended warranties on emissions components are dictated by federal EPA regulations, not CARB. So, you're covered regardless of which state you call home. If "some components" are made from stainless steel then they should last longer and are not as likely to need replacement. As far as the additional emission components installed, they are few in number and generally reliable (secondary air injection system and a DISA valve are the only things I know of).
FWIW, I have a 128i SULEV, and these things don't keep me up at night. In fact, mechanically, the N51 engine in my car is more similar the to N52TU in my old E46 than to the standard non-SULEV N52 in the 128i. I never had any issues with emissions related components with exception to the O2 sensors in my old E46.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Two men have been charged in the killing of a U.S. Coast Guardsman whose crew was chasing a vessel suspected of being laden with drugs off the California coast.
Jose Meija Leyva and Manuel Beltran Higuera were charged Monday in Los Angeles with killing a federal officer while the officer was on duty. They are in custody and were expected to appear in court later Monday.
The men are charged in the killing of 34-year-old Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne, who died Sunday after he was struck in the head by the suspect vessel near the Channel Islands, west of Los Angeles.

PHOTO: Staten Island Clown Terrorizes NY
Residents of Staten Island, NY are keeping a close eye out for a creepy clown spotted around the borough. It has been seen holding balloons and waving to passersby.
The clown has a spooky resemblance to the famous horror movie clown from the Stephen King flick, "It." Some are speculating that it's a PR stunt from local horror film company, Fuzz on the Lens Productions.
We seriously hope that is a harmless stunt, because if it isn't….. *SHIVERS*

We live in a world that almost thrives on the need for closure or an ending. We like happy endings in particular. This is why Hollywood makes so much money, we want to believe that happy endings exist. But let's be honest, life is more like a beautiful piece of quilted patchwork. The colors don't always match. The lines acrosss the quilt don't always line up. And it might be shorter than we anticipated. But, it is life. What if Christianity was meant to be more like the the quilt and less like the Hollywood endings? [Read more…]

Hi Soontobemum
Assuming there are no other issues I wouldn't imagine a foot spa wold be of too much concern. I am not sure what an ultrasonic facial is. In both cases though, discuss these treatments with your practitioner and make sure the beautician preforming them is knowledgeable about any risks that may exist for pregnant women and how to minimise them.

This year's draft will take place Friday February 15, 2013 at 6pm EST. The draft will conclude each day at 11pm EST and begin again at 8am EST. Our goal will be to get it all done by the end of that weekend. It's a 4 round mock that we've been doing on these boards for 9 years now. Check the link for last year's Invitational if you are unfamiliar with it and please read the rules. http://cowboyszone.com/forums/dallascowboys.php?t=229122&highlight=Invitational I can't guarantee we can fit everybody in. Obviously there are only 30 spots available after the commissioners. Once we do get a field set, we will hold the blind lottery and assign teams. Hopefully we can get that done with plenty of time for people to know who they are GMing for and what their needs may be. Only those with the time and interest need apply. My nostrils are flared. My hair is Eddie Munstered. Let's get it on.
