This computer packs a punch, to put it bluntly. While it's no longer the best in the room, it still offers a mobile high end gaming solution for gamers on the go. I attend uni by plane, so I want to bring my power with me when whether I am at uni or home for the holidays. The i7 processor gives you 4 real cores hyperthreaded to simulate 8 cores. In effect, this is 8 "virtual cores."
I've thrown Oblivion maxed out and then some, Shogun II Total War, Empire Total War, Far Cry 2, and Fallout 3 at this baby and it eats them all. I can't wait for TES: Skyrim, as I expect my dear friend to run that at near maximum settings as well. LIFE IS GOOD when this is your gaming machine.
The older variants of the G73 did suffer some minor issues relating to faulty drivers used by Asus. As a counterweight, Asus fixed these bugs in time, while one must consider that Asus manufactures some of the highest quality computer parts available to the typical consumer. Because of this, Asus delivers something of a discount for its in-house part production and assembly of the computer. Don't bother with Alienware. It's shiny with a "cool" brand, but you're paying a much higher price per unit of computing power. Also, note the short battery life. However, it's a bloody gaming laptop, so you're not buying this for its power efficiency.
I'll meet you on the field...of CoD!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Angela Ruggiero and Lauren McAuliffe both recorded a goal and an assist to lead the third-ranked Harvard University women's ice hockey team to Tuesday night's 4-0 non-conference victory against No. 7 University of New Hampshire at the Bright Center.
UNH is now 7-5-2 overall (3-0-1 Hockey East) while Harvard, which has won 12 consecutive games vs. the Wildcats, extended its season-opening winning streak to 11 games.
The Crimson built a 2-0 lead on late first-period tallies by McAuliffe at 13:16 and Julie Chu at 18:57. McAuliffe scored by lifting the puck under the crossbar after UNH goaltender Melissa Bourdon (Ile Bizard, Quebec) denied Angela Ruggiero's initial shot from the low slot. Chu extended the lead to two goals when she redirected Jaclyn Pitushka's shot from the left point.
Harvard netted the only goal of the middle stanza to build a 3-0 lead. Ruggiero scored on the power play with a shot from the right point at 13:00.
Katie Johnston gave the Crimson a 4-0 lead at 14:12 of the third period when she lifted a shot off a rebound from the right doorstep into the upper-left corner.
Harvard's Ali Boe stopped six shots to record her fifth shutout of the season. Bourdon made 24 saves for UNH.
Stephanie Jones (Kimberley, B.C.) had two of UNH's top scoring chances midway through the final frame when her shot from in front deflected off Boe and trickled wide of the left post. Moments later, the puck trickled in front and Jones was denied on the right doorstep.
New Hampshire returns to action Dec. 12 at home vs. intrastate rival Dartmouth College for its final game of the 2003 calendar year. Game time at the Whittemore Center is 7 p.m.

Guide to Grilling: Planking
For all that I've grilled (150-plus recipes and counting), there's always plenty of uncharted territory. One of those areas: planking. There aren't usually many planking recipes in cookbooks, save the ubiquitous planked salmon. Put simply, planking is cooking food directly on a piece of hardwood. When cooking this way, the surface of the food touching the wood picks up some of the plank's natural flavors. More

Lyn Nofziger
Sooner or later, it will have to be the American people themselves that decide to put a stop to this out-of-control government arrogance. Perhaps the sentiments of the late Lyn Nofziger will be helpful at this point.
You will recall that Mr. Nofziger served as press secretary in Ronald Reagan's administration as Governor of California and as a White House advisor during the Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan presidencies.
Shortly before he passed away, he composed a short treatise entitled "These Things I Believe.â€
Here it is:
"That government should butt out.
That freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away.
That individual freedom demands individual responsibility.
That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.
That the executive branch has grown too strong, the judicial branch too arrogant and the legislative branch too stupid.
That political parties have become close to meaningless.
That government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.
That government should provide for the national defense and work to insure domestic tranquility.
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
That America should be wary of foreign entanglements.
That the tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
That states are the bulwark of our freedom. That states should have the right to secede from the Union.
That once a year we should hang someone in government as an example to his fellows.â€
Patriots – Make History And Earn A Living! By Devvy Kidd
"Our Republic and its press (media) will rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press (media), with trained intelligence to know the right thing to do and the courage to do it, can preserve the public virtue, without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press (media) will produce, in time, a people as base (rotten) as itself. The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalism of future generations." Joseph Pulitzer, American newspaper publisher.
How many newspapers today will cover the constitutional issue of Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham, regarding his eligibility to serve as president of these United States of America? A couple of newspapers east of the Mississippi have done so over the past week, but they did it kicking and screaming all the way. However, they have all slanted the coverage to portray it as being a negative issue, instead of the issue being of paramount importance: Does the U.S. Constitution matter anymore?
The Election Of The Greatest Con-Man In Recent History By James Petras
By James Petras
"I have a vision of Americans in their 80's being wheeled to their offices and factories having lost their legs in imperial wars and their pensions to Wall Street speculators and with bitter memories of voting for a President who promised change, prosperity and peace and then appointed financial swindlers and war mongers." — An itinerant Minister, 2008
The entire political spectrum ranging from the 'libertarian' left, through the progressive editors of the Nation to the entire far right neo-con/Zionist war party and free market Berkeley/Chicago/Harvard academics, with a single voice, hailed the election of Barack Obama as a 'historic moment', a 'turning point in American history and other such histrionics. For reasons completely foreign to the emotional ejaculations of his boosters, it is a historic moment: witness the abysmal gap between his 'populist' campaign demagoguery and his long-standing and deepening carnal relations with the most retrograde political figures, power brokers and billionaire real estate and financial backers.
What was evident from even a cursory analysis of his key campaign advisers and public commitments to Wall Street speculators, civilian militarists, zealous Zionists and corporate lawyers was hidden from the electorate, by Obama's people friendly imagery and smooth, eloquent deliverance of a message of 'hope'. He effectively gained the confidence, dollars and votes of tens of millions of voters by promising 'change' (implying higher taxes for the rich, ending the Iraq war and national health care reform) when in fact his campaign advisers (and subsequent strategic appointments) pointed to a continuation of the economic and military policies of the Bush Administration.
Within 3 weeks of his election he appointed all the political dregs who brought on the unending wars of the past two decades, the economic policy makers responsible for the financial crash and the deepening recession castigating tens of millions of Americans today and for the foreseeable future. We can affirm that the election of Obama does indeed mark a historic moment in American history: The victory of the greatest con man and his accomplices and backers in recent history.
He spoke to the workers and worked for their financial overlords.
Obama birth challenge refuted by SCOTUS Thomas Lifson
Return to the Article
December 08, 2008
Let me get this straight. We are about to swear in a new President without checking his actual birth certificate — something many jobs require. Whatever you think about what the media call the "whispering campaign" about Barack Obama's alleged failure to meet the Constitution's "natural born citizen" requirement for the presidency, isn't it a bit odd not to even check to see that the requirement has been met.

CAPT XXXX XXXX, USXX (Ret.)
XXXXX XXXXXXX Association, Washington Office
Washington, DC 20002
Captain XXXXX,
Sir, as a fellow vet, I know you fully understand the obligation we accept when we say the words, "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States." As citizen soldiers, those words have special meaning to us. Our allegiance rises above party politics, a man or an institution. Our allegiance is to the US Constitution — that we "defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic." To that end, I have a CALL TO ACTION for the XXXXX XXXXXXX Association, action that will not be easy, yet required to ensure the Rule of Law stays intact.
Former US Senator Barack Obama has openly acknowledged that his father was a Kenyan (British) citizen and his mother was an American citizen. At birth in 1961, Barack Obama (Jr) was a dual-citizen – he has confirmed this fact himself. When Barack Obama, Jr, was born in Hawaii, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama, Sr was a British Citizen, whose status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr's children.
Father of Cole victim sues over ban of his anti-Islam decals

For more than six years, Jesse Nieto drove to work at Camp Lejeune, N.C., in a car that left no doubt about his views.
"Islam = terrorism" asserted one sticker on the back window of his maroon Scion. Another decal showed a cartoon boy urinating on the image of a turban-wearing man. A third, paraphrased to eliminate a curse word, said, Disgrace my flag, and I will defecate on your Quran.
His feelings stem from a personal tragedy: His son died in a terrorist attack on the Norfolk-based destroyer Cole in Yemen in 2000.
Did Obama Buy The White House With Illegal Money?…."…but that's a story you won't read in the mainstream media. You will read about it here today…"
The Bulletin ^ | December 8, 2008 | Herb Denenberg
Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008 11:50:31 AM by jazusamo
There is now growing evidence that Sen. Barack Obama bought the White House by using illegal and fraudulent fundraising, but that's a story you won't read in the mainstream media. You will read about it here today. While that story of Obama election law violations is still developing, what is the mainstream media reporting on? The New York Times isn't interested in election fraud … if committed by Sen. Obama and the Democrats. So it is using its resources to investigate the amount of money the McCain campaign spent on hair stylists for Gov. Sarah Palin. (New York Times, Dec. 6, 2008). They've already investigated the amount spent on her wardrobe. Yes, the bias and dishonesty of the New York Times no longer just oozes out, it floods out in epic proportions. The once great paper has become a sad joke, a puppet and propagandist for the Democratic Party that can hardly write an honest word on politics.

Here's a press release we sent out today. It's already gotten coverage on TheNextWeb, PadGadget, Black Web 2.0, and 1up among others. We'd love to see more bloggers chime in on the data and share their own predictions. Here's the full data for those interested:Black Friday Predictions
Apple's iPad and Kinect for Xbox 360 Expected to be the Most Highly Sought After Items on Black Friday
Seattle, WA, November 9, 2010 – A recent Black Friday survey conducted by BlackFriday.com revealed that U.S. consumers are bullish on Black Friday sales this year. 91 percent of survey respondents believe Black Friday 2010 will be at least as big as 2009, and nearly 60 percent believe it will be bigger. Apple's iPad tops the list of the most sought after products on Black Friday, followed by Microsoft's Kinect for the Xbox 360. Other newcomers that ranked high on people's wish list were Apple's iPhone 4, HTC Droids, Amazon's low-priced Kindle, plus Sony and Samsung 3D TVs.
From a categorical perspective, deals in electronics remain the most popular category for Black Friday shoppers in 2010. Black Friday staples like laptops, televisions, camcorders, movies, music players, and video game consoles remain popular, but newer electronic products are expected to join the mix this Black Friday shopping season. In particular, e-book readers, smart phones and new video game motion-sensing technology may capture much of the attention.
The hottest toy craze for the Christmas season is always difficult to predict and seems to rely more on supply issues, but Zhu Zhu pets, pillow pets, Disney Tangled toys, and Beyblades top the consumer Black Friday toy predictions.
Smart marketers are expected to use Apple iPods, iPhones, or iPads as contest prizes because Apple doesn't typically offer discounts during Black Friday. Given the price and uncertainty that surrounds 3D TVs, most people will be happy sticking with flat-screen HDTVs. Record low prices on gaming consoles, digital cameras, digital camcorders, netbooks, flat-screen monitors, and Blu-rays will likely generate high-volume sales for popular electronic retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon.com.
About BlackFriday.com: BlackFriday.com is a one-stop destination for everything shoppers need to know for Black Friday 2010. From early access to Black Friday ads, to bargain-hunting tips, to the best deals from top retailers, BlackFriday.com is the ultimate resource for the nation's biggest shopping day. During the month of November, BlackFriday.com will be giving away a hot Black Friday item each weekday to its members.

There are some very good reasons to have a landline in 2014 … in addition to your smartphone, of course. You've got much greater security on a landline.
If an emergency happens and you have to call 911, that call can be traced — which is not the case with a smartphone. Your address instantly pops up on the dispatcher's screen.
That can save lives, especially if children need to place the call and are already dealing with a traumatic situation. Of course, if the person calling can't speak for any reason, the traceability is also vital; simply put, landlines have a solid 911 connection.
The good news about the decline in landline usage is that bundling landlines with other features such as cable or Internet service has become highly affordable. With the right package, it's basically free, so you might as well get that added security.
If you're desperate for an Internet connection, you can depend on DSL in a pinch. It's not going to be the Internet you're used to, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Throwback Thursday every day
Depending on your age, you might remember the days of telephone conversations. Unfortunately, texting has pretty much put a stop to those.
But with a landline, you can enjoy a clearer connection, no dropped calls, no buzzing, and being "forced" not to multi-task (as much) as you often are on a smartphone. It's actually an added convenience, and you'll have no worries about whether you'll get a good connection with a landline.
If the power goes out and your smartphone battery is low, you're pretty much out of luck. But if you have a landline, that should still work, as some people discovered after Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy had hit them.
If you need to reach someone on a landline, a power outage won't stop you. This is extra security in a tight situation, especially if there are elders involved or you're not with family when disaster strikes.
Tackling privacy issues
Landlines are more secure and private than mobile phones because there's no risk of radio frequency interception. You may not know it, but mobile phones are highly vulnerable to eavesdropping.
Thieves can use simple devices such as other cell phones to listen in to your calls, find out when you'll be out of town on vacation, and even steal credit card information if you share it during a business over the phone. Even the FBI is getting in on eavesdropping via cell phones, so you might want to be more careful with your private calls.

Doll - Vinyl Face & Cloth Body, circa 1963 Reg. No: HT 8275
- Summary:
- Doll purchased in Melbourne in 1963 as a gift for Maria by a relative. Maria was hospitalized, at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, for three weeks with a broken arm at age seven.
She had immigrated to Australia with her mother and two brothers in 1961, to join her father who was already in Melbourne working. In 1967 Maria, her mother and two brothers, returned to Italy with the aim of remaining. Prior to the journey Maria's mother removed the stuffing from the doll and replaced it with various Australian plant seeds to give to relatives in Italy.
After 11 months in Italy, Maria's mother decided to return to Australia with her children as she didn't see a strong future them in Italy. Once again Maria's mother stuffed the doll with seeds, this time Italian vegetable seeds, in particular different types of beans, tomatoes, lettuces and other beneficial greens. She recalls it was so full of seeds that it was no longer soft, and her mother instructing her never to put the doll down and to always have it clutched when they arrived in Melbourne.
After this voyage the doll's head continuously fell off and Maria used to say to her mother that the doll 'had a headache' and her mother would sew the head back on.
- Description:
- Doll with vinyl face and hands with cloth bunny suit body and synthetic hair. Eyes open and close. Label indicates the doll was 'Made in Japan'.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This doll is a rare example of how immigrants flouted Australia's strict quarantine laws in order to bring in 'something from home'. While the doll is was a smuggling tool; it is also a child's toy which represents stories of the ongoing processes of migration, and children's experiences of that upheaval, movement and resettlement.

CLEVELAND -- More than 90 minutes of radio recordings from Thursday's police pursuit shed new light on what led up to the deadly shooting of 2 suspects.
The driver, Timothy Russell, and his passenger, Malissa Williams, were killed when police fired 137 shots following a high speed chase.
"Use caution. Occupants are armed," says a dispatcher.
From the start of the chase that began in downtown Cleveland, and travelled to thewestside and ended inEast Cleveland, officers believed the two suspects had a gun.
"He's pointing a gun. He's pointing a gun out the back window. Heads up! Heads up!" said an officer, in the recordings.
"Passenger's turning back around and pointing a firearm," said another.
But 16 minutes into the chase, there is a change in the suspects' description.
"He does not have a gun. He has black gloves on. He does not have a gun in his hand," said an unidentified officer.
"There's a pop can in his hand. There's a red pop can in his hand," said another.
However, other officers made conflicting observations:
"That car that went by us, fired off a round, and he is now behind them."
"Passenger's pointing a gun out the back window of the vehicle! Passenger's pointing a gun out the back of the vehicle!"
The chase ended outside Heritage Middle School in East Cleveland, where 13 officers opened fire.
"Shots fired! Shots fired!" an officer yelled, to his dispatcher.
Russell and Williams were killed in a hail of gunfire. Police did not find a gun on them or in their car.
However, in order to shed light on whether the suspects ever had a gun in their possession during the pursuit, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner will conduct gun-residue tests on Russell and Williams.
The results could take several weeks.

ODB smashing w/ a napkin?…lmao……9th Prince One Man Army In Stores Oct. 12th, 2010
Brooklyn-bred MC Hell Razah finished his new album Heaven Razah in late March, and hoped to release the album this summer. The Wu-Tang Clan affiliate and former Sunz of Man man member released his acclaimed debut Renaissance Child in 2007, and fans have been eagerly awaiting his follow-up ever since. What fans were not anticipating was the health emergency that landed Razah in the hospital in April, just after he finished recording the album. With the support of a still-recovering Razah, Nature Sounds is now proud to announce that Heaven Razah will be in stores everywhere on September 28, 2010.
Heaven Razah marks a rebrith for Razah, who has re-fashioned himself as a modern day hip-hop prophet, spitting spiritual wisdom about the apocalypse, the presence of demons, mortality, and the afterlife. In light of recent events, his words sound even more prophetic. "It was like a premonition. I was thinking about these themes, and my destiny was already in my brain, but I didn't even know it," explains Razah in his first comments since his being hospitalized. "This is my testimonial. It's like I'm seeing the future through music."
In recent years, Hell Razah has become one of the most prolific artists in hip-hop's underground, releasing albums with 4th Disciple, T.H.U.G. Anglez, Blue Sky Black Death, and his supergroup, Black Market Militia (Razah, Tragedy Khadafi, Killah Priest, and Timbo King). While Razah enjoys collaborating with his peers, he held off on guest spots for Heaven Razah, with only R.A. The Rugged Man, Timbo, and Shabazz The Disciple making appearances. "I wanted to show that I can hold my own," he explains. "To me, features look like mixtapes. If you go back and look at classic albums like Illmatic, there weren't a lot of features." Backing up Razah's prophecy is an impressive collection of knocking instrumentals from the likes of Havoc, Ayatollah, Bronze Nazareth, 4th Disciple, and Mathematics.
In one more twist of fate, the album will hit stores just a few days before Razah's birthday, which falls on October 1st. "There is no better birthday present I could get than sharing this album with my fans," says Razah. "There's a lot of soul in this album." In a final message to supporters, Razah gave an update on his status. "Right now, I'm in rehabilitaion, doing physical therapy everyday to get back to 100%. I'm writing rhymes too, and the ideas are flowing. That's my spiritual therapy."

Fire Damages Valley Drive Sonic In Las Cruces
Las Cruces firefighters extinguished a fire at a commercial structure Saturday evening.
Las Cruces Firefighters were dispatched to the 900 block of North Valley Drive at 10:06 p.m. last night for a commercial structure fire. The first arriving fire crew witnessed heavy smoke and moderate flames coming from the kitchen. The blaze was contained within minutes after initial arrival.
Shortly after employees had pulled a double fryer out and placed it back they began to smell a gas odor and then heard a loud "boom" sound. The hood suppression system did activate allowing employees to evacuate the building without injury. The restaurant had received plumbing work earlier in the day.
The building suffered moderate fire and moderate smoke damage. Fire official's preliminary damage estimates are at $15,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but is believed to be accidental in nature.
There were no reports of firefighter or civilian injuries.

Delicious with crushed Heath bars! I mixed everything together but saved the caramel sauce to drizzle on top. I also added 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, but I recommend tasting it before doing so in case it's already sweet enough. A similar recipe called for 1 tsp of vanilla, which I'll have to try next time. I served this dip with Pink Lady apples and it was a huge hit! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
This is sooo good. Easy and delicious. Only change I made was to use whipped cream cheese. I like the lighter texture.

Amazing! You need more apples then the recipe calls for. This is soooooo delish!

Accident victim full of praise for heroes
Posted: January 24, 2013|
Train accident victim Matt Robinson has called a Saffron Walden former Army lieutenant colonel "my hero" after his life was saved when he lost both legs at Stortford station.
The 29-year-old expressed his gratitude on the internet to Mark Budden, the former commanding officer of 101 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) based at Carver Barracks, Wimbish, and also telephoned two other commuters from his hospital who helped.
John Thorp and Pamela Abbott both followed father-of-two Mr Budden, 41, down onto the tracks and played a vital role in the city worker's emergency treatment, following the retired soldier's instructions.
Matt said of Mr Budden: "He truly is my hero, along with the other two who jumped in.
"I don't know if it was fate or luck that put him in place, but I know if he wasn't there I wouldn't be typing this message from my bed."
But Mr Budden played down his contribution, saying: "I was the right person in the right place."
John Thorp, who lives in Denny Court, Bishop's Stortford, was making his way along the platform to cross the footbridge and meet wife Kerry in the rear station car park on Wednesday, January 9, when he saw Matt fall underneath the 18.24 Stansted Express.
The 40-year-old forensic investigator for the Financial Services Authority in London said: "My first instinct was that he was dead."
He ordered station staff to call the emergency services and shut off power as he reached the casualty, who had lost one leg above the knee and the other below.
He said: "When you see someone in that level of distress, your human reaction is to get stuck in."
Mr Thorp followed instructions issued by Mr Budden, who called on his battlefield first aid training, and used his entire body weight to staunch Matt's bleeding by pulling on a makeshift tourniquet until ambulance and fire crews arrived around 20 minutes after the accident.
Miss Abbott is head of ICT for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and splits her time between Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge, and London.
The 49-year-old single mother-of-three, who lives in Stapleford, witnessed Matt's accident as he appeared to lose his footing after twice returning to the train to search for his lost wallet.
She said: "I just saw him go down. I heard the train go over him and once the train was gone, he was screaming.
"I do not feel in any way exceptional, I just remember thinking what we need to do is get first aid."
She also held one of the belts staunching the blood flow and the three good Samaritans worked as a team.
Soon after, Matt was well enough to call her from his bed in Addenbrooke's, Cambridge, where he is recovering from surgery.
She said: "He was brilliant. He said 'I'm the person whose life you have saved'. I just feel really humble about it – I just feel I did what anyone would."

Things I liked:Great air rifle and plenty of power for a springer. Mine likes the H&N hunting pellets. The wood is very nice and has a nice solid feel.
Things I would have changed:Metal front sight, the plastic is too fragile.
What others should know:Accuracy is pretty good with right pellets and since I got it on sale and even better value. PA is great to deal with and has awesome service!
Things I liked:Low cost, well made, accurate, fun and inexpensive to shoot.
Things I would have changed:For the price I paid there isn't much to change.
What others should know:The rifle I bought was pretty accurate out of the box. it only got better after the first 100 pellets ran through it. I bought this to compliment my .22 caliber Vantage NP. though not a NP, it give smooth quiet performance. I would buy another if I had to, but these are so reliable I doubt I will have to. Great rifle at a great price.
Things I liked:Company very good to buy from. Good prices and shipping was the same day as ordered
Things I would have changed:Change nothing I know of. Could handle blank ammo.

Vice President Joe Biden applauds auto industry comeback during Toledo speech
Vice President Joe Biden and a panoply of Ohio Democratic politicians celebrated the comeback of the American auto industry in a tour and speech at Toledo's Jeep Wrangler assembly line Monday.
The vice president said the recession that started in 2008 could have destroyed 100s of thousands of jobs in the automobile industry if the government hadn't extended emergency loans to keep the companies afloat.
He said 431,300 auto industry jobs were lost in 2008, but that since GM and Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy last year, employment has rebounded by 76,300 jobs.
"It's a huge reversal and one we'd never have seen had we listened to those who told us to walk away," Mr. Biden said.
Mr. Biden noted a rise in auto employment and a return to U.S. shores of parts manufacturing that he said would not have been possible without the emergency bailouts made by American taxpayers starting in December, 2008.
"The American auto industry is rebuilding itself and I believe it will dominate the 21st century like it did the 20th," Mr. Biden said to a crowd of several hundred — mostly union autoworkers — inside the factory.
The vice president played up his car connections, saying he once applied for, but didn't get, a job at a GM factory and that his father was a car dealer. He got one of his biggest cheers when he told the crowd that he's had a Jeep in his driveway continuously since 1973.
According to Mr. Biden, the country is seeing a trend toward "in-sourcing" — the return of parts manufacturing from overseas.
He said last year fewer than 60 percent of the Wrangler's parts were made domestically. Now, that number is 78 percent, he said.
Mr. Biden said all three American car companies posted operating profits for the second quarter, the first time that's happened since 2004.
General Motors recently announced it would sell stock in the company, of which the U.S. government owns about 60 percent. Mr. Biden said he didn't know if that would pay back the American taxpayer for their loan.
"I don't know that we get totally out of GM, but I think that [initial stock offering] is going to be successful," he said.
Mr. Biden got in some partisan shots at the previous administration, saying the main thing that he and Mr. Obama wanted to do was "clear away the brush left by eight years of neglect ... by the last administration."
The vice-president's trip continued on to a fund-raising event for Gov. Ted Strickland at Belmont Country Club in Perrysburg Township. About 75 people attended the event where ticket prices were $1,000 to $2,400 per person.
Mr. Strickland is facing a challenge from Republican former Ohio congressman John Kasich.
The Biden speech took place in what Chrysler calls its supplier park, a complex of three privately owned supplier plants on North Expressway Drive which feed parts to the Wrangler assembly plant, said to be one of only two such arrangements in the world.
Workers Kevin Durczynski, 43, of Oregon, and Amy Vollmar, 44, of Tontogany, Ohio, showed the vice president how they attached windshields to Wranglers.
"Very easy-going, made me feel comfortable right away," Mr. Durczynski said of Mr. Biden.
He said he told the vice president, "we appreciate him and President Obama for passing TARP and allowing us to prove to the world that we make a world-class vehicle at the Toledo Jeep complex."
The Troubled Assets Relief Program, passed in October, 2008, was used for the government's extension of some $81 billion in loans to GM and Chrysler to keep the two companies from an abrupt shutdown that was feared would have taken much of the supplier chain with them.
One of the dignitaries present was Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of Chrysler Group LLC, which emerged from bankruptcy in June, 2009, under the management of Fiat SpA of Italy.
Mr. Marchionne said Chrysler Group would repay the loan from the taxpayers before 2014.
Asked how much money that would be, he said, "Whatever they lent us. We have all the cash they lent us. It's still with us."
Politicians who spoke were Mr. Strickland, Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of the 9th Congressional District, which includes Toledo. Also present was Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, who did not speak.
Miss Kaptur, who is facing a challenge from Republican Rich Iott of Monclova Township, thanked Mr. Biden and President Obama for their "courage" in extending funds to GM and Chrysler.
"There were some who said we should walk away from plants like this one," Miss Kaptur said. She recalled that the House voted 237-170 in December, 2008, to provide bridge loans, with overwhelming Democratic support and Republican opposition.
"Who would vote no on billions of dollars of investment in Ohio and Michigan, the heart of the United States auto industry? We thank those who had the courage to do that," Miss Kaptur said.
Miss Kaptur said the auto market is "rigged" against American manufacturers in other countries which sell their cars here unhindered, but bar American cars sales at home.
"We ask our workers and our manufacturers to compete against closed markets," Miss Kaptur said. She said Korea sells 700,000 cars in this country, but that only 7,000 American cars are sold in Korea.
Mr. Iott has said he was opposed to the federal bail-out of GM and Chrysler, saying last week that it was wrong for the government to pick winners and losers in the economy.
Yesterday, Mr. Iott issued a statement highlighting the success of the Ford Motor Co. which occurred without the help of taxpayers.
"Without government aid, [Ford] made painful cuts and is today thriving without the burden of billions in federal bailout loans and without Washington bureaucrats breathing down its neck," Mr. Iott said.
U.S. Rep. Bob Latta (R., Bowling Green) said in a telephone news conference that the economy is not as rosy as the administration portrays and the reason is that the president's policies on debt, taxes, health care, environmental legislation, and regulation are creating uncertainty.
"With the vice president coming today, and again you have to ask yourself where are the jobs at," Mr. Latta said, going on to say that Ohio has lost 130,000 jobs since the stimulus was passed in early 2009.
Mr. Latta voted against the TARP legislation for the auto manufacturers. He said yesterday the government moved too quickly and should have given the market more time to correct itself.
"What people want to see is government really getting off their back and letting them go out there and create jobs," Mr. Latta said.

Deal Is Reached for Schools Chancellor
The mayor and the state education commissioner reached an agreement that paves the way for Cathie Black to become chancellor of the nation's largest school system, people familiar with the situation said.
In a letter dated Friday to David Steiner, the state's education commissioner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote that if Mr. Steiner grants Ms. Black the waiver she needs to become chancellor, she will appoint a deputy chancellor at the city Department of Education, Shael Polakow-Suransky, as her senior deputy chancellor and chief academic officer.
The move ends the impasse between City Hall and the state, coming days after Mr. Steiner raised concerns about Ms. Black's qualifications. Ms. Black, 66 years old, has spent her career in the publishing business. The mayor has touted her management skills as the reason he chose her to lead the 1,500-school system.
"This is the product of an extensive dialogue between the state and the city about the concerns raised," said a state official familiar with the negotiations. "The feeling is that it substantially addresses those concerns."
The resolution averts a major defeat for the mayor, who has seen a number of his administration's high-profile initiatives—such as a West Side stadium and tolling vehicles entering Manhattan—foiled by Albany politics.
Some view the development as a victory for Mr. Bloomberg.
Doug Muzzio, a professor of public affairs at Baruch College, said the mayor "ultimately got what he wants."
"The mayor wisely acceded to this; otherwise he didn't get Black....This other person is going to report to Black. So Black is the boss," Mr. Muzzio said. "He still has a black eye—he looks imperious. He looks like he doesn't care about what people think. His attitude is 'my way or the highway.' Now, in this case, he confronted a situation that he just couldn't ignore and wisely bowed to it but essentially he still got his way."
Mr. Polakow-Suransky's credentials are steeped in education theory and experience. His bachelor's degree is in education and urban studies from Brown University, and he holds a master's degree in educational leadership from the Bank Street College of Education. He also graduated from the prestigious Broad Superintendents Academy.
Mr. Polakow-Suransky, 38, began his career as a math and social-studies teacher, and in 2001 became founding principal of Bronx International High School, among the first of the city's successful small high schools created from large, underperforming high schools.
Mr. Bloomberg's letter said Mr. Polakow-Suransky "has proven again and again that it's possible to accelerate learning for every student."
The letter includes a two-page description of the new job, stating that the candidate will be "charged with the responsibility for the administration and supervision of the school system's instructional programs."
Most recently, Mr. Polakow-Suransky has been in charge of the schools' accountability efforts, which assign letter grades to schools based on their students' performance on state tests as well as other measures.
While the appointment of a chief academic officer may appease Mr. Steiner, some others are still unmoved.
State Sen.-elect Tony Avella, a critic of the mayor's education policies who encouraged Mr. Steiner to deny the waiver, said he is disappointed with the resolution.
"We still have somebody who is not an educator running the ship," he said.
Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, a Brooklyn Democrat and a lawyer by trade, said he is considering filing a lawsuit to block the waiver.
"We need a chancellor who stands on his/her own merit, not one who needs to be ushered around the Department of Education by an academic chauffeur," Mr. Jeffries said. "The law does not permit Commissioner Steiner to grant a waiver based on the educational or professional credentials of someone other than the applicant."
City Council member Robert Jackson, chairman of the council's education committee and a critic of mayoral control over the schools, said he's worried that Ms. Black may ignore Mr. Polakow-Suransky's advice on pedagogical issues. If that happens, Mr. Jackson predicted, "all hell is going to break loose."
Others, however, are eager to move on.
Council member Jessica Lappin, a Manhattan Democrat and a longtime supporter of mayoral control, said she is pleased this ends the uncertainty about whether Ms. Black will be the next schools chief.
"We have a lot of issues to deal with," she said.
"This is what mayoral control means—ultimately it's having one person who is in charge and accountable," Ms. Lappin said. "If this is who he thinks is the best woman for the job then I look forward to working with her."

Because accommodating individual disabilities is not always something that can be accomplished in the traditional workplace, self-employment offers a real alternative for entrepreneurs with disabilities. The flexibility of being able to set one's own hours and adjust the physical workspace opens up new possibilities to those with marketable skills and talents and the determination to succeed.
Easter Seals Wisconsin's Self-Employment Services and its partners help such clients develop and evaluate their business ideas according to both business feasibility and issues presented by their disability. Self-employment specialists work one-on-one with each entrepreneur, discussing the appropriateness of self-employment and evaluating the suitability of the business idea. Together, step by step, the specialist and the entrepreneur create a business plan. The specialist also connects the client with community resources and helps adapt them to address the client's needs.
The number of business planning services provided by Easter Seals almost doubled in the past year. And with the addition of a planned new component to the Self-Employment Services program – Business Plan Resources and Support – more expansion is expected.
The complexity of case work has also increased. Because of our reputation for success, staff have seen a shift to more requests for business planning service and a decrease in referrals for assessments and feasibility studies. This results in staff providing a higher level and more complex type of service; one which takes more time to complete.

If anything, the foreclosure fraud settlement has shown a breakdown in the ability of regulatory agencies to deal with the aftermath of fraudulent conduct. They simply have no ability to offer a regulatory response that's commensurate with the behavior. If the behavior does lead to a negotiated settlement, then it comes with unsatisfying "neither admit or deny" statements that judges have continued to question:
Judge Renee Marie Bumb of United States District Court in Camden, N.J., blocked a proposed settlement on Wednesday between the Federal Trade Commission and a marketing company based in New Jersey on charges that the company and its chief executive made false and unsubstantiated claims that the use of açaí berry-based products, which they promoted, would result in rapid and substantial weight loss.
Judge Bumb ordered both the commission and the company to justify why she should approve the proposed $11.5 million settlement when the lack of an admission by the company and the executive of any wrongdoing left her with no facts with which to judge whether the negotiated deal was fair, adequate and in the public interest.
In doing so, she cited a much-discussed case involving the S.E.C. and Citigroup. Last November, Judge Jed S. Rakoff of Federal District Court in New York rejected a proposed $285 million settlement of securities fraud charges for the same reason: without an admission of guilt or agreed-upon facts there was no basis for an approval.
Judges are starting to challenge the "neither admit or deny" settlement all over the country. And the SEC's response has been that they can't force companies to admit wrongdoing in fraud cases, because then they would be liable for civil charges. You can see the worldview here, and the instinct for protection that the SEC has over the companies they're supposed to regulate.
As troubling as the language is, regulators point to the significant penalties they extract in settlements. Except in many cases they don't get the penalties at all:
Like many banks engulfed by the mortgage crisis, First National Bank of Nevada specialized in risky home loans that didn't require borrowers to prove their incomes. When the housing bubble burst, First National got crushed in 2008 under the weight of bad loans that it could no longer resell to investors.
Last year, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation sued two former senior executives of the defunct bank for alleged negligence and breach of fiduciary duty, hoping to recover nearly $200 million in losses that it tied directly to those executives' decisions. The two men denied wrongdoing and settled for $40 million.
But they didn't pay a dime.
Instead, the federal agency – which is better known as a regulator that seizes control of failing banks and provides deposit insurance for consumers than for its prosecutorial endeavors – is still fighting in court to collect that money from Catlin Group Ltd., a Lloyd's insurance syndicate. Catlin provided an equivalent of malpractice insurance to First National's executives, but the insurer denied liability for the executives' alleged mistakes.
This happens far too often, and not just to the FDIC. Settlements like the Countrywide case resulted in a tiny percentage of the anticipated result getting paid out. [cont'd]
This is why the foreclosure fraud settlement, explained in perhaps the best fashion by Barry Ritholtz in a must-read, is so corrosive. It exhibits the worst qualities of our regulatory state in the 21st century. And it puts a price on conduct that undermines the 300-year property system in the United States, turning fraud into a business expense. Here's just a little from Barry:
The bigger issue is the economics of criminality. Most people who get caught committing crimes are punished. Commit a felony — if you run a bank — and your shareholders pay a monetary fine. Violating the law has merely become the banker's cost of doing business.
Thus, the robosigning agreement has allowed the mass production of perjury. It has gone unrecognized and unpunished. It has made perjury a business expense, like travel or office furniture. The same reckless approach to giving loans to unqualified people was institutionalized, leading to another reckless approach to foreclosing homes.
We still don't know who ordered these crimes, who is responsible for this, whether they still are in their jobs — or whether they are in a position of authority to do the same thing again.
Last, politically, the settlement reveals the corrupting influence of bank bailouts. Government is supposed to enforce laws equally and fairly. Instead, it is protecting its investments in rogue banks. They are committed to their original error and are loath to admit it. This is the reason that after a surgical accident, a new surgeon does the repair. He is objective and has nothing to hide. Conflicted governments, though, are focused on their reputation and reelection.
We have to be more concerned by the fact, given all the evidence, that the regulatory state under its current leaders cannot do better than this. Or rather, it quite easily can, but will not.

Second trial set to begin in 2008 Mass. killing
A second trial is set to begin for a man who insists he was wrongly convicted in a 2008 killing outside a neighborhood market in Springfield.
A judge last year granted a new trial to Charles Wilhite after a key prosecution witness recanted his original identification of Wilhite as the shooter of Alberto Rodriguez.
Nathan Perez testified that he was pressured into identifying Wilhite as the shooter by a Springfield police detective and an assistant district attorney. Both the detective and prosecutor denied pressuring Perez.
Wilhite and co-defendant Angel Hernandez, the owner of the market, were convicted of first-degree murder.
Prosecutors alleged that Hernandez had an ongoing feud with Rodriguez and paid Wilhite to shoot him.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in Hampden Superior Court.

Meet the Founder
Hello! My name is Russ Gallivan and I am a certified personal trainer. A few years ago, after my wife and I had our first child, I realized that I had let myself go a little. I tried a couple of different programs to try getting back in shape, but nothing really worked. Then I stumbled upon this exclusive fat burning formula, and the fat on my body started to melt away.
I had done a lot of research before I came across this formula, so I know it is unlike anything else out there. The results are mind boggling when you stick to the program. That is why I am committed to sharing this amazing formula for quick, permanent fitness success. I have developed a boot camp program that I continually improve and change so it is never boring—also I make sure no one can copy it! (I get up at 3 am to create new workouts. My wife says I am crazy).
I am confident that you will enjoy this boot camp and guarantee you will see results as long as you follow the plan. If for whatever reason you are unhappy with the program I will give you your money back. WHO ELSE MAKES THOSE CLAIMS?
Thank you for your time. Be sure to swing on by for the most effective fat burning workout you have ever experienced.
