SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court in San Francisco upheld the 22-year prison sentence and fraud convictions of Ecast founder Samuel "Mouli" Cohen, who was found guilty of a $30 million investment scam. Actor Danny Glover and the now-defunct Vanguard Public Foundation are among Cohen's victims.
A jury in April 2012 convicted Cohen, 55, of 29 counts of fraud, money laundering and tax evasion, and he was ordered by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer to repay his victims $29.7 million in restitution, including $2,758,221 to Glover. The judge handed down what is said to be one of the harshest sentences in a white-collar criminal case. | SEE STORY
In late August, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Breyer's loss calculations. The court said the judge correctly allowed evidence of Cohen's lavish lifestyle to support assertions that he did not intend to reimburse investors, and upheld his decision to lengthen Cohen's sentence for exploiting his victims' "charitable impulses" to fund worthy causes.
Cohen falsely told investors that his company, Ecast, a digital jukebox music provider, was about to be acquired by Microsoft Corp. and would be able to exchange its shares for lucrative Microsoft stock.
The losses contributed to the collapse of Vanguard, a San Francisco nonprofit that funded civil rights, environmental and antiwar causes. Glover once chaired the foundation and was recruited as an investor by Cohen in 2002.

Set in the East End of London from the tail end of the seventies up until the present day, The Business is a tale of drugs, prostitution, and a young girl's fight for survival - against all the odds.
Imelda Dooley is scared. She's played hard and fast and now she's been caught. She's pregnant and now she's on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. And it's not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders.
When Mary Dooley's husband is killed in the night's events, she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. And graft she does, becoming a name in her own right. But she still has to watch her daughter's life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution.
Caught up in the carnage that is Imelda's existence are Mary's adored grandchildren, Jordanna and Kenny. Pretty little Jordanna isn't yet three and she already knows far too much. All she can do is look after her baby brother and try not to draw attention to herself.

"the business"
another gripping tale of harsh, gangland life of london by Martina Cole. Thoroughly enjoyed this book especially while out on one of my long walks. As ever harsh, hard hitting and exceptionally emotive. My only criticism being the narrator who at times I felt was very wishy washy and used limited expression.
Well worth a listen
"Long winded and repetitive"
I love Martina Cole but this book is lacking her usual excellence . The story and characters lacked depth which is unusual for this writer
"It isn't The Business"
I adore listening to books on Audible. Over the years I have listened to Anthony Trollope to Michael Connelly, Hillary Mantel to P.G. Wodehouse and everything inbetween. This is the first time I've been disappointed. The Business was the first listen I've come across that was boring, repetitive, contrary from chatpter to chapter, gratuitously explicit in its language, and again to really bring home the point - boring! (The narrator was great though) I read a Martina Cole book a few years ago on a journey. I picked it up at an airport and it did the job of amusing me for the time of the trip. Although I can't remember a thing about it now, that's ok. It made some hours of travelling pass well. So, with a week of a lot of travelling in the car, I thought this Martina Cole book might do the same job. But no, it was so tedious that I was almost screaming with frustration half way through. Audible is not a cheap option, so once you've bought a book you really feel you have to listen to it to the end. If I had had a paper copy of this one I would have thrown it in the dustbin after the first few chapters.
I now regret that I haven't posted good reviews of the many books I've enjoyed so much. This is my first and was inspired by such an awful book. I now think I'll take the time to be positive in the future.
AUDIBLE - I know that you can't put this up as you need positive reviews to sell your books, but perhaps some of your staff will read this and steer clear of a dreadful book!
"Very slow"
This hasn't been my favourite book . I felt it was drawn out and character reflecting on their life too repetitive
"Boring Business"
I enjoy Martina Cole's novels but this book was very repeatitive, the story not ever going anywhere. Because of the setting and characters in the novel the language is extreemly crude throughout. Try Lady Killer, a far better listen by the same author.
"nasty language from start to finish"
Cleaner language, and the author repeats herself as if we are too dumb to remember what she already wrote.
probably not

What persuaded the female eagle to come down from its perch? Hunger and thirst, some prompting by a handler using hand gestures and a whistle, and the tossing of a dead quail in such a way that the eagle could see it, said Mr. Aikin. The eagle, named Sequoia, "ate a quail and a mouse and looked at us like we were all to blame," he said, referring to an eagle's practice of making its feathers stand out to show that it's irritated. But her irritation quickly faded. "She just sat calmly on the (gloved) fist and was was happy to be back," Mr. Aikin said.
Sequoia had been tree-sitting over the weekend in the Suburban Park area of Menlo Park and in North Fair Oaks neighborhood. Her handlers allow her to fly free every day in Byxbee Park on Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto, the exceptions being very hot days and when she is molting. "We like her to go out and soar in circles so people can watch her fly," Mr. Aikin said.
Her schedule — weekdays at 4 p.m. and weekends at 2 p.m. — can be found on Facebook, Mr. Aikin said.
About every three years or so, Sequoia goes on a three-day vacation, he said. But because she's vacationing without her handlers, food and water become hard to find. When they returned her to her enclosure in Palo Alto, "she jumped right down into her bathtub and drank heartily," Mr. Aikin said.
She cannot catch her own food. Her hunting skills are hampered by a diminished ability to use her tail feathers, the result of a gunshot wound when she was young. That, and she was not raised in the wild. "I've never known her to kill anything," Mr. Aikin said.
This soon-to-be 25-year-old eagle has been cared for at the Palo Alto zoo for the past six months, Mr. Aikin said. Before that, she lived at the San Francisco Zoo, where she had been since she was six months old and where Mr. Aikin also tended to her.
She is capable of extended flight — she once flew to Ano Nuevo State Reserve in Pescadero from San Francisco, Mr. Aikin said. Why let her fly? "She likes it, we like it, and we think it's a great way to see a bald eagle," he said. Sequoia is taken on visits to organized groups, and organized groups sometimes visit her. She has a wingspan of about seven feet. While there is inherent risk in letting her loose, the burden is worth the cost. "It's so spectacular to see her fly," he said.
The San Francisco Zoo ended its eagle breeding program, and Mr. Aikin managed to have Sequoia transferred to Palo Alto, though as is the case with all bald eagles, Sequoia is the property of the U.S. government.
During Sequoia's recent vacation in Menlo Park, she had come within three feet of a handler's leather glove but flew off, perhaps because she was confused. "She'll fly around to look for a way to get to us," he said. "We're really in a waiting game until she feels comfortable enough and motivated enough to come down."
Bald eagles are flighty and high-strung, he said. Something as innocent as a colorful piece of clothing can be alienating. For food, she likes dead rats, mice, quail, rabbit and fish.
On Feb. 23, North Fair Oaks resident Scott Peterson told the Almanac that he'd been out in his backyard around 4 p.m. and had seen a large bird soaring a couple of hundred feet above some redwood trees. "I noticed it because it was so large," he said.
Mr. Peterson said he'd been unaware that he might have been looking at an eagle. "That was a huge, huge bird," he said, "the biggest bird I've seen in 30 years of living here."
Photographer and Menlo Park resident Jim Vanides observed Sequoia and photographed her the next day around 5 p.m. from Hedge Road in incorporated Menlo Park. He said he spotted the eagle in pine trees along the Dumbarton railroad spur line near the Suburban Park area of Menlo Park.

Ricky Martin Is Bearing It All On TV, And We Got A Hot Preview (VIDEO)
Ricky Martin is fresh off his very successful run in Las Vegas with his show "All In", which was held at the Park Theater in The MonteCarlo hotel.
The show included a medley of his most famous songs, a dynamic stage, and lots of dancing. We couldn't have expected more from the king of the "shaking" and he truly delivered in every way.
Now, he has returned to television with a sexy performance of the iconic song "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger from the movie Risky Business. The showdown against Kate Upton happened on Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle.
Martin showed up in the classic outfit made famous by Tom Cruise, baring it all in his white undies and a button-up shirt, and singing the tune with a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement. The crowd was equally pleased with the performance!

America 2021: What's Next on Climate?
A Climate & Energy Roundtable
June 2011
Manik Roy, Vice President for Federal Government Outreach at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, participated in a roundtable discussion about where U.S. climate and energy policy will be in the year 2021. The event also included Joe Aldy, assistant professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and a nonresident fellow at Resources for the Future; Vicki Arroyo, executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center and visiting professor at Georgetown Law; Alex Laskey, president and founder of OPOWER; and Lexi Schultz, legislative director for climate and energy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. Bryan Walsh of Time magazine moderated their discussion.
Below are excerpts of Roy's comments. For a detailed transcript of the discussion, click here.
Q: What are the priorities and actions on energy and climate policy in 2021?
Manik Roy: In the next few years, we will not be putting together the optimal climate policy. Instead we'll be doing things in chunks. I'm assuming the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act will survive, and we will do what we can under that law. But I don't think our efforts will be as good as what many of us were trying to do. By 2021, we'll recognize that what we've been doing is not the best approach for either the environment or the economy, and we'll be trying to fix it.
Q: As a soceity, what are the appropriate actions to take to reduce the risks associated with climate change?
Roy: When we ask that question, we have in mind this sort of mythical "public." But there is no "public"—there are people and each person has different concerns, interests, and beliefs.
It's interesting to look at how the other side has worked this issue. They've created this overlapping series of misrepresentations: "Climate change isn't happening." "It is happening, but it isn't human caused." "It is human caused but it isn't going to be a big deal." "It is going to be a big deal but we can't afford to do anything about it." "Well, we can afford it but we're not going to do it until China does something about it."
They have these overlapping, mutually contradictory stories, each of which activates a different member of the public out there. We have to do the same thing, but with truth. We should be talking about science, about solutions, about competitiveness with other countries, about the benefits of reducing pollution. I don't think we should stop talking about anything. The other side has shamed us, and we shouldn't be ashamed. We have an accurate story to tell.
Q: Was the failure to pass federal cap-and-trade legislation attributable to our politics, or was it indicative of something about that policy that needs to be changed?
Roy: A couple big things happened. One is that we had a terrible economy. It's very tough to pass major environmental legislation in a bad economy. And the other thing is, frankly, it's tough to pass major environmental legislation under a Democratic president, because the moderates of either party tend to run from their president when their president is in office. That tends to be true when Republicans are in office, which is why almost all of our major environmental laws—the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, our hazardous waste laws—were passed under Republican presidents. And it has been true when Democrats are in office, which is why we rarely pass tough environmental legislation under Democratic presidents.

Harry Styles dressed as Miley Cyrus for Halloween.
One Direction hair stylist Lou Teasedale posted an Instagram photo of the costume on Sunday.
Styles appears quite happy to be sticking out his tongue, wearing tape on his nipples and nude shorts, and carrying a foam finger.
His hair was also done up in Cyrus' famous top-knots from the MTV Video Music Awards.
Of course, we already know Styles can twerk.
What do you think of his costume?

transcript:
The space shuttle program neared its complete retirement with mission STS-134, the next-to-last shuttle journey. Shuttle Endeavour, which was built to replace the ill-fated shuttle Challenger, made its 25th and final flight, and carried six astronauts to the International Space Station.
Like the kid who dreams of space travel, the astronauts’ excitement extends into the real thing.
SOUNDBITE: Greg Chamitoff, NASA Space Walker- We’ve been in space now for, what, four hours. Five hours, something like that. Amazing and we’re all feeling great. This is awesome. I can’t wait to get back to the space station.”
And honesty- from an astronaut on his first flight:
SOUNDBITE:Roberto Vittori, Italian Space Agency Flight Engineer - “I was a little bit afraid, but quickly adapted.“
Since 1998, more than 25 space shuttle crews have docked with, and helped construct the International Space Station, delivering modules, equipment and supplies.
This mission marked several milestones in the shuttle program, including the first space conversation with a Pope.
SOT: “Well, your holiness, it’s a great honor to speak with you …”
But more significantly, they successfully installed an astrophysics experiment, called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. And it marked the last spacewalks ever for members of a shuttle crew. Although it was Greg Chamitoff’s first.
SOUNDBITE: Greg Chamitoff, NASA Space Walker - “And y’know that was the most intense thing I’ve ever done in my life! That was really amazing. You know it’s really amazing that humans can really do this! It’s not science fiction. It’s absolutely real.”
The shuttle program’s final journey is scheduled for later in the summer, with Atlantis making one more trip to the ISS.
After retirement, the shuttle crafts are slated to live their final days in museums across the U.S.

Eva Mendes Gossip
Eva Mendes gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Eva Mendes: back to work
FameFlynet, Sharky/ Splash
This is the first shot of Eva Mendes since she gave birth to daughter Esmeralda on September 12. She looks exactly the same. And since we never saw her pregnant – not even one undeniable gratuitous pregnancy shot – it's almost like it never happened, only TMZ found and released the birth certificate. Full Story
Two days of Ryan Gosling
FameFlynet, AKM-GSI/ Splash
For the second day in a row, we're opening with Ryan Gosling. Check him out in Atlanta continuing to work on The Nice Guys in 70s costume. Gosling Fever… has it been extinguished? I feel like your intensity for him isn't as intense as it once was. Someone said to me it's because he went and had a baby with someone which, if that really is the case, I find it all very animal kingdom, some British dude in a deep voiceover telling the viewer "and the female prowls off, in search for a new available male to seed her womb. Full Story
The return of Ryan Gosling
Here are new shots of Ryan Gosling on Friday in Atlanta on the set of The Nice Guys. He co-stars with Russell Crowe. As you can see, the film takes place in the 70s which, I guess, explains the moustache. And as you know, this is Ryan at work for the first time since his baby was born. Esmeralda arrived on September 12 although he and Eva Mendes haven't spoken about it publicly at all. Full Story
Esmeralda Amada Gosling
The first notification I got of this name was a text from Lorella, which immediately followed the text in which she chastised me for not telling her about 'Serial'. Are you addicted yet? "That's the name from the Hunchback of Notre Dame!" Lorella cried, if you can cry via text. Full Story
Ryan Gosling is "madly in love"
Why are articles on babies so f-cking stupid? Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling had a daughter a week ago today. Officially this is unconfirmed, because they wouldn't even announce that she was pregnant. And they kept it really, really undercover the whole time. There are no belly-cupping shots of Eva. Full Story
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have a baby
US Weekly reports exclusively that Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling's baby girl arrived on Friday, September 12. No name has been announced. Which is not surprising. They've never actually confirmed they were expecting in the first place. In fact, when news first broke that she was pregnant, people were still saying (hoping?) that they were no longer together. Full Story
Almost a dad
Pacific Coast News
It was exactly a month ago when it was reported, accurately this time, that Eva Mendes is pregnant with Ryan Gosling's baby. Though they've not officially confirmed the news, there's been no denial either, and the fact that Eva went right back into hiding says it all. Word is, in July, she was about 7 months. Full Story
Eva Mendes was photographed on Wednesday, just as news was breaking that she and Ryan Gosling are expecting a baby. As you can see, she was desperately trying to cover her body. Well, they've managed to keep this secret for 7 months, supposedly. They're saying she just stayed in her house the whole time. Full Story
What's it going to take?
Allpix / Splash News
Sarah texted me last night. "Oh the Gosling meltdown is delicious." The other reaction was pure denial. Like, what's it going to take to get them to believe? At this point, probably footage of the baby crowning. Yesterday it was OK! breaking the story, STAR following, then Access Hollywood, then US Weekly. Full Story
More on Eva & Ryan pregnancy reports
Dominic Chan/ WENN
First it was OK! and STAR. Click here for my post from earlier today. Now US Weekly and Access Hollywood are on it. Both outlets claim their sources confirm the reports. And US and Access Hollywood are a lot more legit than the other two. Full Story
Is Eva Mendes having Ryan Gosling's baby?
Both OK! and STAR Magazine are reporting that Eva Mendes is pregnant for Ryan Gosling. Neither publication has a particularly accurate track record. Full Story

View More Features and Specifications
The Patriot is an unexpectedly capable city car, combining a boxy, rugged-looking traditional Jeep appearance with car-like handling, good outward visibility, an interior that's comfortable for four adults and a city-friendly small-car size. The drivetrain and ground clearance, combined with an available Freedom-Drive II off-road package, makes for respectable off-road capability as well. Even the base model includes a strong list of essential safety features.
Compare the 2016 Jeep Patriot against similar models
The Patriot is essentially unchanged for 2016. Jeep has cut the Base model, leaving the Sport, the Latitude and the High Altitude as the only three trim packages.
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
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Jeep Patriot. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Jeep Patriot. Select the color to see a close-up view.
As the boxiest member of the lineup, the Jeep Patriot has aged reasonably well. Open the door, though, and it's evident that the stark interior has become quite dated since its debut as a 2007 model, followed by freshening for 2011. Compared to the far newer Cherokee and Renegade, the Jeep Patriot seems like a relic of the past.
On the other hand, if you're looking for moderately priced transportation and don't crave the latest equipment, this comparative old-timer still has a lot to offer.
In urban environments, the Patriot promises easy maneuverability. If an off-road journey lies in your future, this upright-stance Jeep can deliver authentic rural capabilities.
The original Patriot was noisy, austere, and sluggish on the road. Since then, Jeep has managed to enhance its appeal. Today, in the twilight of its lifespan, the sensible-size Patriot melds rugged Jeep lines with civility, resulting in a practical family transporter.
That boxy, still-bold exterior contains a highly useful interior, yielding ample cargo space. Rear seatbacks flip forward easily. Getting in and out is especially easy, helped by the Patriot's high roofline. In both front and rear, passengers enjoy abundant headroom. Oddly, the seating position is somewhat low, facing a rather tall, encompassing dashboard.
A 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder serves as base engine. Four-wheel-drive models get a 2.4-liter engine that produces 172 horsepower. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard with front-drive, but a 6-speed automatic transmission is available.
Also available is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), bundled with the Freedom Drive II four-wheel-drive system. That system gives Patriot Jeep's Trail Rated badge, as well as moderate capability for chugging through sand and mud. A suitably equipped Patriot can even handle mild rock-crawling, helped by the CVT's Low range (absent from the Freedom Drive I CVT).
For 2016, Jeep Patriot is available in Sport and Latitude trim levels. The Limited model is gone, replaced with option packages that include much of its equipment. A new Patriot Sport SE package raises ride height on front-wheel-drive models, adds tow hooks to 4WD models, and brings such upgrades as heated mesh front seats.
In federal crash tests, the Patriot received four stars for overall safety, including an especially worrisome three-star score in frontal-crash and rollover testing. Testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Patriot Good in most categories, but Poor in the tougher small-overlap frontal test.
Patriot Sport ($17,595) includes cruise control, roof rails, foglamps, tilt steering, cruise control, and 16-inch alloy wheels (17-inch with 4WD). Windows are manual and air conditioning remains optional, but the 2016 Sport gains hands-free Uconnect and SiriusXM Radio. Four-wheel drive adds $2,000. (Prices are MSRP and do not include the $995 destination charge.)
Patriot Latitude ($22,195) adds air conditioning, power windows and locks, heated cloth front seats, a fold-flat front passenger seat, and new automatic headlights. Four-wheel drive is available ($3,300). A High Altitude package includes leather-trimmed seats, a power driver's seat, sunroof, and painted 17-inch wheels.
Safety equipment includes electronic stability control with roll mitigation, front side airbags, and side-curtain bags.
Next to the new Renegade, the Jeep Patriot looks dated. Yet it still looks rugged: a boxy, city-sized crossover, laden with Jeep design heritage. Some frontal design cues are borrowed from the iconic, hard-traveling Wrangler, while slab-sided styling harks back to the old-model Cherokee.
Body proportions are squared-off, but don't convey a refrigerator aura. Careful detailing keeps the exterior simple, yet purposeful. Such familiar elements as the seven-slot grille and stocky door handles demonstrate an appealing blend of civility and masculine themes.
The Patriot's upright exterior translates to useful interior space.
There is a sense of cheapness in the cabin details, however. Updating since its introduction has brightened and softened the cabin, but it's hard not to notice the low-rent materials and hard, dull plastic. In addition, you get a strange, tall dashboard layout, along with a relatively low seating position.
On the plus side, the interior is versatile and practical, providing good cargo space and decent space for four passengers. A fifth might squeeze in, but won't like it. At least, the Patriot's tall roofline makes entry/exit easy.
Seating comfort is less appealing, with front seats that fail to provide much support. Rear seats are somewhat stiff, feeling short on padding.
Noise and vibration become apparent underway.
Outward visibility excels, helped by the boxy body and plentiful glass. A rearview camera is now available on both trim levels.
Jeep Patriot scores well in a couple of areas but fails to impress in others. Maneuverability is excellent. So is the four-wheel-drive Patriot's true Trail Rated ability. Otherwise, the driving experience is unremarkable.
A few years back, the Patriot improved considerably when the original CVT gave way to a responsive, smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission. Now, three systems are available: front-wheel drive and a choice of two four-wheel drive setups.
Snowbelt residents who plan only mild or no off-roading are best off with Freedom Drive I, which includes a locking center differential and either a manual transmission or 6-speed automatic. Hardy off-roaders will be tempted by Freedom Drive II, which includes a Low range for true off-the-pavement activities. It's a worthwhile system, but you must accept the CVT, which has the Low range built-in. Reflecting the traits of the worst CVTs, it's short on responsiveness and suffers pauses reminiscent of a rubber band, accompanied by droning sounds.
A Patriot is especially useful for urban tasks: a joy to maneuver and easy to park. It's also acceptable on the highway, or for modest off-roading on a budget. If you want more than the minimum, this Jeep falls well short on refinement and sophistication. Ride quality, while satisfactory, can become a little more active than in newer small-size crossovers.
For its size, the Patriot isn't all that fuel-efficient. Thriftiest is the 2.0-liter engine with manual shift, EPA-rated at 23/30 mpg City/Highway with front-drive, followed by the 2.4-liter with automatic at 23/29 mpg. Pick that CVT-equipped Freedom Drive II package, and the estimate drops to 20/23 mpg City/Highway. Other variants fall between those estimates.
The Jeep Patriot is a dated product so it lacks the latest safety features and technology and is built on a structure that's now 10 years old. However, it offers value, especially in the case of the front-wheel-drive model. Look for deals or wait for the next-generation version.

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.

'Pittsburgh Penguins fans will be able to watch streaming video of Friday's preseason game vs. Buffalo on pittsburghpenguins.com. The video is available free of charge.'
Archives for September 2007
Pens Vs. Sabres Webcast Live Friday At 7:15 p.m.
3500 tickets remain for Saturday's game
'The Sabres will be holding an autograph session following the game.'
Ruff out to fix woeful penalty killing
'"Last year I was disappointed," Ruff said after Thursday afternoon's practice in the Amherst Pepsi Center. "We've talked about the penalty killing and re-establishing ourselves. To have the worst penalty killing in the [Eastern Conference] at home, for me, was an embarrassment."'
eGone fishing' is Lorentz's explanation
'"My passion for doing the games hasn't diminished in the least," Lorentz said. "The thing that I hated was getting to the games when they were out of town. I've been doing the travel for so many years, I think it just caught up to me. It was a gut-wrenching decision to make. I just felt the time was right. All the ownerships treated me terrifically. It also was a positive experience for me and a great way to spend life after [playing] hockey."'
Numminen released from hospital, recovering at home
'Numminen, 39, had surgery Sept. 20 to repair a faulty valve. Numminen has said he planned to continue playing after doctors informed him that, barring complications, he would continue to live a normal life. Numminen added he could return to the Sabres by December.'
Sabres Practice Update
'Sabre foward Ales Kotalik left Thursday's practice with a tweaked knee. Kotalik skated off on his own power after 3-on-3 drills. Paul Gaustad and Mike Ryan both missed today's workout.'
Numminen released from hospital
'"Teppo was released from the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday evening and is now resting comfortable at home," said Hartich concerning Numminen's heart surgery last Thursday. "His post-operative recovery continues to be excellent and Teppo's right on schedule for a full recovery. His spirits are great and he's getting stronger everyday."'
Kotalik leaves practice, Connolly improving
'Connolly will be treated with the most finesse. Having only appeared in a handful of games last season and with pressure mounting to fill the void left by the departure of last season's co-captains, his longevity during the regular season is the Sabres top priority. "The most important part before he plays is getting him healthy," said Ruff. "We're not going to stick him in a game just to get a game in. We have another week to get ready for the season. Unless he feels really good, my feeling is that we're not going to put him in the game."'
Q and A with Maxim Afinogenov
'You have been a part of the Buffalo Sabres longer than any other player in the locker room. What has changed in the time that you have been here? MA: It has changed a lot. The first thing is everybody and the new faces on the team. I think we changed our style of the game too a lot. We improved a lot also.'
Q&A with T.J. Brennan
'HF: I know it's early in camp but is there anything you've picked up from the veterans so far? TJB: When I'm on the bench I definitely watch guys like Campbell and how they skate up and make passes with their head up and how they stickhandle without losing speed in their stride. I definitely take notice of stuff like that, little things that can help you get to the next level.'
Lorentz will be missed
'Every year, Mrs. Lorentz would find me in December to see if a hockey card of her son was in my possession. She would then tell me to look for a car with a New York license plate in her driveway. That meant Jim was visiting for Christmas and if we dropped off his card, there would be an autograph picture of him waiting for me.'
Roy makes point with six of them
'The job is that of Sabres No. 1 center, and Roy's resume grew immensely in the Air Canada Centre. The fourth-year player was the best on the ice, scoring three times and setting up three other goals to irritate the announced crowd of 18,892.'
Injury list concerns Ruff
'"[Tim] Connolly's out. We don't know how long," Ruff said. "[Paul] Gaustad's out with a groin. [Maxim] Afinogenov's a hip flexor. I don't know how long that will be. [Andrew] Peters is out. Who else we got? [Dmitri] Kalinin's another one. He skated today lightly, so hopefully tomorrow is a better day."'

ElectromyographyEMG; Myogram; Electromyogram
Electromyography (EMG) is a test that checks the health of the muscles and the nerves that control the muscles.
See also: Nerve conduction velocity test
The health care provider will insert a very thin needle electrode through the skin into the muscle. The electrode on the needle picks up the electrical activity given off by your muscles. This activity appears on a nearby monitor, and may be heard through a speaker.
After placement of the electrodes, you may be asked to contract the muscle. For example, bending your arm. The electrical activity seen on the monitor provides information about your muscle's ability to respond when the nerves to your muscles are stimulated.
A nerve conduction velocity test is usually performed along with an EMG.
No special preparation is usually necessary. Avoid using any creams or lotions on the day of the test.
Body temperature can affect the results of this test. If it is extremely cold outside, wait in a warm room for a while before the test is performed.
If you are taking blood thinners or anticoagulants, inform the person performing the test, before it is done.
You may feel some pain or discomfort when the needles are inserted, but most people are able to complete the test without significant difficulty.
Afterward, the muscle may feel tender or bruised for a few days.
EMG is most often used when people have symptoms of weakness, and examination shows impaired muscle strength. It can help to tell the difference between muscle weakness caused by injury of a nerve attached to a muscle and weakness due to neurologic disorders.
There is normally very little electrical activity in a muscle while at rest. Inserting the needles can cause some electrical activity, but once the muscles quiet down, there should be little electrical activity detected.
When you flex a muscle, activity begins to appear. As you contract your muscle more, the electrical activity increases and a pattern can be seen. This pattern helps your doctor determine if the muscle is responding as it should.
An EMG can detect problems with your muscles during rest or activity. Disorders or conditions that cause abnormal results include the following:
- Alcoholic neuropathy
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Axillary nerve dysfunction
- Becker's muscular dystrophy
- Brachial plexopathy
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Cervical spondylosis
- Common peroneal nerve dysfunction
- Denervation (reduced nerve stimulation of a muscle)
- Dermatomyositis
- Distal median nerve dysfunction
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Landouzy-Dejerine)
- Familial periodic paralysis
- Femoral nerve dysfunction
- Friedreich's ataxia
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- Mononeuritis multiplex
- Mononeuropathy
- Myopathy (muscle degeneration caused by a number of disorders, including muscular dystrophy)
- Myasthenia gravis
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Polymyositis
- Radial nerve dysfunction
- Sciatic nerve dysfunction
- Sensorimotor polyneuropathy
- Shy-Drager syndrome
- Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis
- Tibial nerve dysfunction
This list is not all-inclusive.
- Bleeding (minimal)
- Infection at the electrode sites (minimal risk)
Trauma to the muscle from EMG may cause false results on blood tests, including creatine kinase, a muscle biopsy, or other medical tests.

Fox Business fearmongers about "Largest Tax Hike Ever"
Research ››› ››› FAE JENCKS
Fox Business has aired at least 11 segments in the past three days falsely claiming that the impending expiration of the Bush tax cuts at the end of the year will lead to the "Largest Tax Hike Ever." Most of these segments failed to acknowledge that President Obama's proposed budget calls for retaining the tax cuts for the vast majority of Americans.
On-screen graphics countdown to "Largest Tax Hike Ever"
In the past few days, Fox Business Channel has repeatedly aired an on-screen countdown to what they deem is the "Largest Tax Hike Ever:"
From the July 13 edition of Fox Business' Bulls & Bears:
From the July 13 edition of Fox Business:
From the July 13 edition of Fox Business' Bulls & Bears:
Only three segments noted Obama's proposal to retain Bush tax cuts for "98% of all households." Of the eleven segments reviewed by Media Matters for America, only three referenced or alluded to Obama's fiscal year 2011 budget proposal, which explains that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts "will have no effect on the 98% of all households who make less than $250,000." The few mentions of this provision occurred during news coverage in the 11 a.m. ET hour on July 13 and the 1 p.m. ET hour on July 14, and on the July 13 edition of Bulls & Bears.
Fox Business fearmongers about rising taxes
Sullivan asks guest, "how much are taxes going to go up?" On July 14, Fox Business hosted Urban Institute Tax Policy Center director Donald Marron to discuss purported tax hikes. While displaying a countdown to the "Largest Tax Hike Ever," anchor Brian Sullivan asked "how much are taxes going to go up?" Later in the interview, Sullivan suggested that the government would try to raise revenue with provisions "that they may not call a tax, but we all know it is." Additionally, anchor Dagen McDowell asked which of the "favorite tax breaks for Americans" would "definitely go away."
MacDonald: "[T]he countdown continues to ... the largest tax hike in our history." On July 12, Fox Business anchor Elizabeth MacDonald claimed that "the countdown continues to what some analysts or numbers crunchers are saying could be the largest tax hike in our history." She continued by suggesting that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and additional taxes from the Obama health care bill are "fueling" the "fear of a double-dip recession." From the show:
MacDONALD: Next up, the countdown continues to what some analysts or number-crunchers are saying could be the largest tax hike in our history. As we have been reporting to you, in just six months, the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families will expire. Add to that more than 20 new or higher taxes in President Obama's health care reform bill, several of which go into effect at the start of the year. The alternative minimum tax will hit an estimated 28 million filers, up from about 4 million, and when you put it together this is fueling what some economists say could be the fear of a double-dip recession.
Claman: Are expiring tax cuts "evidence that tax hikes are coming"? Discussing the Bush tax cuts on the July 12 edition of Bulls & Bears, co-host Liz Claman suggested that because "those tax cuts expire at the end of the year," it is "perhaps evidence that tax hikes are coming." During the segment, Todd Wilemon of NYSE Euronext agreed that tax hikes were coming, and Gary B. Smith of TheChartman.com claimed that "the emphasis to hold on to the public's money and spend it as they see fit is just ingrained" in the Obama administration's "philosophy."
Varney, Fox Business: "Rich & The Middle Class Prepared For Largest Tax Hike In History." Stuart Varney discussed the expiration of the Bush tax cuts with author Robert Frank on the July 14 edition of Varney & Co., claiming that "the Obama administration is waging war on the rich." However, the on-screen text during the segment read: "Rich & The Middle Class Prepared For Largest Tax Hike In History." Additionally, during the segment, Varney showed the clock counting down to the "Largest Tax Hike Ever."
McDowell: "Nothing is being done" on "the largest tax hike in U.S. history." During the 1 p.m. ET hour of Fox Business' daily coverage, McDowell suggested that "nothing is being done" to address the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Later in the show, Brian Sullivan echoed McDowell's comments by asking, "What seems to missing from the D.C. agenda? Well, the largest tax hike in American history. Why isn't anything being done about it?" In the subsequent segment, correspondent Peter Barnes suggested that "with everything they have to do ... the clock is ticking down" for congressional Democrats to take action on the Bush tax cuts. He also reported that "it sounded like taxes were low on the list" of the White House's legislative priorities.
Asman: "Why aren't Democrats more focused on the expiring Bush tax cuts?" On the July 13 edition of Bulls & Bears, co-host David Asman asked: "With the midterm elections looming on the political horizon, why aren't Democrats more focused on the expiring Bush tax cuts?" Liz Claman continued by stating that "everybody thinks that the Obama administration isn't focusing on tax cuts" and asking guest former Sen. Gary Hart if they "have it wrong, or is that the right perception?" Hart rebutted the notion that Congress wouldn't be able to address an extension of the tax cuts before the end of the year, calling it "nonsense." During the segment, Fox Business included a graphic at the bottom of the screen which counted down to the "Largest Tax Hike Ever," with large stars on either side of the word "Ever."
Obama budget would extend middle-class tax cuts, keep Bush tax cuts for "98% of all households"
President Obama's proposed FY 2011 budget extends middle-class tax breaks, adds tax cuts for small businesses. According to a February 1 MarketWatch report, President Obama's budget proposal for fiscal year 2011 calls for the extension of the "Making Work Pay" tax breaks, which were "due to expire at the end of this year." Additionally, Obama noted that "we extend middle-class tax cuts in this budget." The article notes that Obama's budget "also includes new tax cuts for investing in small businesses and tax breaks for retrofitting homes to save energy."
Allowing Bush tax cuts to expire for top earners "will have no effect on the 98% of all households who make less than $250,000." According to Obama's FY 2011 budget proposal, "the President supports allowing [the Bush] tax cuts that affect families earning more than $250,000 a year to expire." The budget also noted that such an action "will have no effect on the 98% of all household who make less than $250,000." Further, the Boston Globe reportedon April 10 that "Obama wants to extend Bush's tax cuts, except for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making $250,000."
It was Republicans who included expiration date on Bush tax cuts
GOP Congress enacted, Bush signed expiration provisions for Bush tax cuts at the end of 2010. With the exception of changes to the estate tax, the 2001 tax bill states: "All provisions of, and amendments made by, this Act shall not apply ... to taxable, plan, or limitation years beginning after December 31, 2010." The 2001 tax bill passed the House and Senate with near-unanimous Republican support. The 2003 tax bill -- which also passedboth houses with near-unanimous Republican support -- incorporated the sunset provisions from the 2001 tax bill.
Wash. Post: Sunsets allowed GOP to "boost the size of the tax cut" while "hiding its true cost" and getting Dem support. In a May 27, 2001, article, The Washington Post reported: "By terminating the tax cuts at the end of 2010, negotiators were able to avoid some tough decisions. Since they could now distribute the same amount of money over nine years rather than 10 years, they effectively boosted the size of the tax cut while at the same time hiding its true cost." The Post reported in a May 24, 2003, article that "by 'sunsetting' all the tax cuts well before the bill's official 2013 expiration date, congressional tax writers took a measure that otherwise would have cost the Treasury more than $800 billion over the next decade and crammed it into a $350 billion price tag that could garner just enough support to pass the Senate. Democrats and Republicans alike predict that future Congresses and administrations will not let the tax cuts expire."

Combining a kettle, infuser, and teapot, this is the electric tea maker that lets users set the precise steep time to brew the perfect cup or pot. Simply fill the reservoir with cold water and set the preferred steeping time, from two to 16 minutes. The device quickly heats the water to the optimal brewing temperature of 194� F, then releases it into the steeping chamber which can be filled with bagged or loose-leaf tea. When the selected steeping time has elapsed - a short two minutes for green Sencha, or a seven-minute swirl for Chinese Oolong - the brewed tea is dispensed into the glass carafe. A warming plate keeps tea hot for an hour before automatically turning off. The 32-oz. glass carafe, steeping chamber, and tea filter wash easily by hand. Plugs into AC. 16" H x 10 1/4" W x 9 3/4" D.

Profiles: Brian Cheng
Brian Cheng
Business Intelligence Manager at LinkedIn
Ready for Anything
Brian won the Outstanding Graduate award and was the 2010 student commencement speaker. He is now a management consultant for Accenture.
What were your reactions when you found out that you were a successful recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Award?
I was completely surprised that I was even considered for this award! I felt that all the work during the last 9 months paid off and was noticed by the faculty and the School of Taxation. I felt excited, jubilated, and above all, honored.
What were your familys reactions?
My parents were very proud of me as they too have noticed my hard work throughout the past few months. When I went up to receive my award, I just thought about how far I had come as a professional. It made the moment that much better that I could share it with those around me who have supported me the entire way.
What do you think it was about your extracurricular commitments, your work in the community, your personality, or your work ethic that got you nominated?
Committing to my role both as a student and a professional. Perseverance with my studies and fully immersing myself in the program. I took advantage not only of the classes and professors, but other resources such as the noontime and Friday workshops that I participated in to better myself. I also gave my all to the program up until the very end, even after I had received a full-time job offer.
What advice would you give to an aspiring student hoping to achieve this award for next year? What qualities should they aim for? What kind of activities could they think about participating in?
Really take control of your experience; only by fully preparing for classes and asking questions will you truly get the most out of your time at GGU. By working hard, the faculty will be able to see the preparation and time that you have taken into your studies. Fully dedicate yourself to the program, maintain dialogue with your professors, and keep those lines of communication open! I highly encourage students to go to the extra-curricular events that the program offers or other presentations put on my local professionals. These events are a great way to meet other students, alumni, and professionals!
What are your opinions regarding this award and event?
It was an honor to receive this award. This is a great opportunity to recognize students in the various programs and a chance for us to celebrate each others achievements.
Finally, what are you going to do with your award plaque?
It is currently proudly displayed in my room, and I hope in the foreseeable future I will be able to put it up on the wall of my corner office!
