The Smiths' The Queen is Dead has topped a new NME poll of the greatest albums of all time, beating off competition from The Beatles and David Bowie.
The Smiths' third studio album was released in 1986 and is regrarded as the band's masterpiece with classics such as The Boy With The Thorn in His Side and Big Mouth Strikes Again.
The latest issue of the NME features a full rundown of The 500 greatest albums of all time as voted by the magazine and website's writers past and present, as well as previous NME top 50 albums of the year lists.
The magazine claims that The Queen is Dead is as relevant today as it was 27 years ago. "There's a perverse national pride to be gleaned from the knowledge that Britain was just as broken in 1986 as it is in 2013.
"No album is made in a vacuum, but The Queen Is Dead is one of the select few that seems to transcend its influences and synthesise them into something singular and new."
The Beatles' Revolver came second in the poll and Hunky Dory by David Bowie was third. Is This It by The Strokes came fourth and is the most recently released album in the top ten, while The Velvet Underground & Nico's eponymous album came fifth.

Lame Duck U.S. President, George H. W. Bush has already announced the publication of his first book. Contrary to popular rumor it has more words than pictures.
His first book is titled "If I were President". As President Bush laments in his book "I would often sit around the White House late at night asking myself 'what would I do if I were President'. One night I decided to put these thoughts on paper and present them to Dick Cheney. He laughed at me. Jokes on him…now they're in a book".
Among Bush's list is:
- Solve Social Security problem by deporting poor people over the age of 65.
- Solve Health Care crisis by deporting sick people.
- Replace Supreme Court with American Idol judges "that Paula Abdul cracks me up".
When asked where he plans to deport the poor elderly and the sick people he responded "that island the Smurfs live on".

Bud Black is staying, Chad Gaudin is leaving and Clayton Richard looks to be a keeper.
On a night when Richard picked up his first win as a Padre, manager Bud Black's contract was extended through the end of the 2010 season and Gaudin was traded to the New York Yankees for a player to be named by Sept. 1 or cash considerations.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his 29th homer and added a sacrifice fly for three RBI and Richard blanked the Mets for five innings while singling home the first run of his major league career as the Padres defeated the Mets, 8-3, for a sixth straight time at Petco Park.
But the night's biggest news came just before the game.
Black, 52, who was in the final year of his original three-year contract to manage the Padres, was given a fourth season with a club option for 2011.
Gaudin, 26, was acquired by the Yankees despite giving up 13 runs (nine earned) on 15 hits and four walks over a total of five innings in his past two starts.
The extension of Black's contract had been in the works for more than a month. The trade of Gaudin first was proposed by the Yankees last Friday before the July 31 trading deadline.
At the time, Padres General Manager Kevin Towers was dealing with more pressing matters – such as the trade of Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox for four pitchers, including Richard.
This week, however, the talks continued and the Yankees put in a claim on Gaudin when the Padres ran the right-hander through trade waivers.
"I had no idea at all," said Gaudin, who learned of the trade just before game time. "I was surprised. But everything happens for a reason.
"I'm looking forward to going to New York and being in first place. I love to win."
Gaudin, who was signed by the Padres in April after being released by the Chicago Cubs, was 4-10 with the Padres with a 5.13 ERA in 20 games (19 starts). He was 0-4 in seven starts since shutting out Texas on one hit over eight innings on June 28.
Gaudin acknowledged that signing with the Padres gave him the opportunity to get back into a starting role.
"It was a good situation here, a good fit for me," Gaudin said. "It was fun."
Gaudin was scheduled to start Tuesday in Milwaukee, but the Padres will now start Richard on normal rest in that game. They won't need a starter in Gaudin's slot until Thursday.
"It's going to be someone from Triple-A," Towers said. "It might surprise you all."
Towers said the leading candidates are Cesar Carrillo, Josh Geer, Wade LeBlanc and Aaron Poreda, a 22-year-old left-hander who also came to the Padres from the White Sox in the Peavy trade.
That trade is already paying dividends as Richard last night turned in his second sharp outing.
"I was a lot more comfortable this game," Richard said. "Henry (Blanco) and I were on the same page the whole night.
"Throw strikes and just let the defense work for you."
"He has a plan and he followed it," Blanco said. "He likes to make his pitches fast. It's good not to let a hitter think too long."
Towers said Black is the perfect leader for a young team like the Padres going through the transition of rebuilding. He said new CEO Jeff Moorad agrees and was the driving force behind Black's extension.
"A couple of months ago, Jeff and I made the decision that Bud was the right guy going forward," Towers said of Black, whose record as the 16th manager of the Padres is 196-238.
"The young guys like him," Towers continued. "They respect Buddy and play hard for him. And Bud handles himself well. He's bright. He's open to new ideas. I've never seen Buddy have a bad day.
"Jeff really likes Buddy a lot. Jeff is the guy who said 'let's get this done.' Personally, I think this has been Buddy's best year. He's done a nice job working with what he's had to work with.
"I'm excited. I might be totally wrong, but this rebuilding process won't take as long as we thought."
"I'm flattered," Black said of the extension. "And I'm excited to be part of what is going on."

ReahXXIII says: The second hack and slash outing through the North with Black Ilse. In my opinion a litte more story heavy and "RPGish" than the predecesor, the gameplay focus still being the tactical battle encounters. Uses the ADnD 3rd Edt Ruleset.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jeff Carter scored his 24th goal and scored again in the shootout, and the Los Angeles Kings moved back into fourth place in the Western Conference with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. Mike Richards scored in the first period and Jonathan Quick made 26 saves for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who ended a two-game losing streak. Captain Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar also scored in Los Angeles' 3-for-3 shootout against Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Patrick Bordeleau scored his first career goal with 14:55 to play to even it for the last-place Avalanche, who nearly pulled another upset in Southern California. Paul Stastny also scored for Colorado, which ended a 14-game, road-losing streak since Feb. 14 with a 4-1 win at powerful Anaheim on Wednesday. Sami Aittokallio stopped 23 shots in his NHL debut for the Avalanche before leaving because of cramps in both legs with 10:36 to play in regulation. Giguere stopped 12 shots after relieving Aittokallio, but couldn't stop any Kings in the shootout. Quick turned aside Matt Duchene's clean breakaway in the third period while earning his 145th career victory, pulling the Conn Smythe Trophy winner even with Kelly Hrudey for the second-most wins in franchise history. The Kings got back on track after giving up four goals in the third period of their previous game, a 5-1 loss in Dallas on Tuesday. Los Angeles hasn't lost three straight since an 0-2-1 start to the season. Los Angeles (23-14-4) leaped one point back ahead of San Jose, which has a game in hand on the Kings. Colorado had lost five straight until knocking off the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, responding to Giguere's pointed public criticism with its most impressive win in a month. After relieving Aittokallio, Giguere made a huge save in the final 30 seconds of regulation, scrambling on his hands and knees to glove Carter's attempt at a wraparound goal. The Avalanche recalled Aittokallio from the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters on Tuesday at the close of his first North American pro season while Semyon Varlamov is sidelined with an injured hip. Aittokallio gave up two goals in the first 7 minutes of his debut, but recovered and played well until he went down in a heap untouched midway through the third period while the short-handed Kings pressed the action in Colorado's end. Aittokallio appeared to move awkwardly in his crease before falling, and the Avalanche took him to the dressing room. Colorado also lost defenseman Erik Johnson early to an hand injury. Carter scored 5 minutes into the first period during a power play, finding a small hole over Aittokallio's far shoulder with an impressive wrist shot. Just 1:47 later, Richards scored on a broken play -- specifically the broken shaft of Jake Muzzin's stick as he took a long shot. Richards got the puck in the slot and fired it past Aittokallio for his 10th goal. But the Kings showed little passion after those scores, and Colorado scored when Jones jarred the puck loose behind the net and fed Stastny, who jammed the puck under Quick for his ninth goal -- his first since returning Wednesday from an eight-game absence with a foot injury. Bordeleau evened it when his long shot deflected off Kyle Clifford's stick, slowing down the puck to a change-up that slid past an unsuspecting Quick. The 27-year-old Bordeleau made his NHL debut this season, but didn't score a goal in his first 38 games for Colorado. NOTES: Colorado kept C Milan Hejduk out of the lineup for the seventh straight game, although the veteran scorer's injured shoulder apparently has healed enough for him to play. ... The 20-year-old Aittokallio was a fourth-round choice in the 2010 draft. ... Richards extended his point streak to five games.

UN, U.S. Offer to Assist Earthquake-stricken Japan
Earthquake of magnitude 8.9 is country's biggest earthquake on record; Obama says Federal Emergency Management Agency is ready to aid Hawaii and West Coast states that could be hit by Pacific tsunamis.
The United Nations is ready to help Japan in any way necessary after the biggest earthquake on record rocked the country's northeast coast and triggered a tsunami wave, the UN chief said on Friday.
"The world is shocked and saddened by the images coming out of Japan this morning," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters. "We will do anything and everything we can at this very difficult time."
He added that the world body would be closely monitoring the aftershocks throughout the day and was prepared to provide any humanitarian assistance Japan would need.
President Barack Obama also assured earthquake-ravaged Japan Friday that the United States stands ready to help.
He said the Federal Emergency Management Agency is ready to come to the aid of Hawaii and West Coast states that could be hit by Pacific tsunamis.
Obama said in a statement that his administration would continue to closely monitor tsunamis around Japan and the Pacific going forward and he directed FEMA to mobilize.
FEMA administrator Craig Fugate said tsunami warnings and watches have been issued for the U.S. territories of Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands, and coastal areas in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington.
Obama's chief of staff Bill Daley notified the president about the earthquake in Japan at 4 a.m. Washington time. Obama said the U.S. is ready to support the Japanese people in this time of great trial.
The friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakeable, he said, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy.
Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan, particularly those who have lost loved ones in the earthquake and tsunamis, Obama's statement said.
The president was expected to discuss the situation in Japan and on the West Coast during a White House news conference early Friday afternoon. In advance of the news conference, Obama talked by telephone to Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
The Navy said Friday that the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, which was in the Western Pacific, was preparing to respond if asked, and was moving toward Japan.

IBF will not order immediate Peterson-Khan rematch
IBF Championships Chairman, Lindsay Tucker, told ******.com on Friday that his organization has decided not to order an immediate rematch of Lamont Peterson's upset split-decision victory over Amir Khan last Saturday after having reviewed a DVD of the clash that was provided by Khan's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, on the fighter's behalf.
Click here for round-by-round live blog.
Peterson edged Khan, 113-112 on the cards of judges George Hill of New Jersey and Valerie Dorsett of North Carolina, and losing 115-110 on that of Nelson Vazquez of Puerto Rico.
Golden Boy Promotions had initially requested that Washington D.C.Boxing and Wrestling Commission chairman, Scottie Irving, overturn the result of the win by Peterson (30-1-1, 15 knockouts) over Khan (26-2, 18 KOs) in relation to what Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, has alledged are scoring descrepancies and poor officiating.
Khan was deducted one point each during the the seventh and 12th rounds by Virginia's Joe Cooper, who was chosen by the commission from a list of four judges provided by the IBF, according to Tucker and Irving. Khan was penalized for pushing Peterson's head down in the seventh, and for shoving Peterson away in the 12th.
Tucker and IBF president Darryl Peoples responded to Khan's formal protest seeking an immediate rematch against Cooper's decision to deduct points.
"We decided not to order an immediate rematch on the basis of the fact that in the rules, if the referee feels that it's a foul, then that's his call to take a point. In that fight, he did warn Khan several times before he actually took the first point," said Tucker.
"At one point, before he took the point, Cooper said, 'this is the final warning.' I believe that that was in sixth round, because he took the point in the seventh round. But before he took the point, he did say 'this is the final warning,' and then, he did take the point."
Schaefer had drawn hope from the IBF's having ordered two notable rematches largely as a result of fouls that took place.
The IBF ordered an immediate rematch between winner Abner Mares and former bantamweight titleholder Joseph Agbeko after referee Russell Mora failed to penalize Mares for repeated low blows in their fight Aug. 13 on Showtime.
Peoples ordered the rematch between Mares and Agbeko after reviewing replays of their Showtime-televised bout with Tucker, including an 11th-round knockdown punch that Mora ruled legal even though replays clearly showed the punch landing on Agbeko's cup.
Mares won the Showtime-televised return bout by unanimous decison over Agbeko on Dec. 3. The move by Khan's camp, said Tucker, is similar to the formal protest made by Agbeko's promoter, Don King, but with a subtle difference.
"I know that Golden Boy was saying that it was the same case as it was with Mares. But in the case of Abner Mares, the difference between what happened with Khan's situation and what happened with the Mares-Agbeko fight was that the guy who actually lost the first fight, Agbeko, was the guy who had been fouled," said Tucker.
"This last fight, the guy who lost the fight was the guy who was committing the fouls. Khan was the guy who was holding down the head and using the elbows and doing the pushing."
The IBF also ordered an immediate rematch of the cruiserweight title bout in which Steve Cunningham lost his belt by sixth-round technical decision to Yoan Pablo Hernandez on Oct. 1 in Neubrandenburg, Germany, this, ruling that the
The fighters accidentally clashed heads twice in the early rounds, causing a cut over Hernandez's right eye that widened as the fight progressed. In the sixth round, Hernandez's trainer, Ulli Wegner, asked for an examination by referee Mickey Vann, who then stopped the bout on the advice of ringside doctor Walter Wagner.
Tucker said that he and Peoples reviewed the video of the clash and determined that there "was an improper stoppage of the title fight."

Dan Rafael and other writers assumed that a immediate rematch would be mandated by the IBF.

I dont understand what all the fuss is about.. Khan was holding and pushing all night.. The ref warned him several times not to push and Khan kept doing it..
If Khan learns some inside skills it wouldnt be an issue.. Imagine what Bradley would do to him

Good! Let Peterson go with the highest bidder.
Arum may offer real big dowry. If the belts end up on Bradley; Pacquiao has a new opponent locked in, so he has the incentive to pay Peterson well. If that offer happens, Peterson will have to look at his opportunity costs.
Fight Bradley for massive money and very likely lose, or fight Khan for a really good payday in a 50/50 fight?

Just because IBF wouldn't order Peterson-Khan rematch doesn't mean sides can't still negotiate it but Lamont now has more leverage. #boxing

Fish Stocking
Lakematers understands the important link of a thriving, well maintained aquatic ecosystem and a diverse fish population. Our Team <b>works in tandem with the State Game and Fresh Water Fish Commissionin the choice of proper fish stocking for ponds and lakes. Lake Masters can assist you in analyzing, recommending and permitting for the introduction of Triploid Grass Carp into your waterways. A healthy propulation of Triploid Grass Carp and your customized lake and pond maintenance program are designed to work together to control hydrilla and other floating and submersed weeds. We can also provide game fish for your recreational waterways. Call us for fish stocking services.
Will Triploid Grass Carp Work for You?
Before stocking your lake or pond with triploid grass carp, it's important that you need to identify the vegetation you want to control. Like many bottom feeders Grass carp have definite food preferences such as Hydrilla, Pondweeds and some other submersed weeds are preferred foods. However, Grass carp are not effective for the control of other types of submersed weeds such as Hygrophila or Bacopa, and are not effective for the control of filamentous algae (pond scum or moss). Grass carp can also have a negative impact on beneficial plantings. If you're not sure what's growing in your pond, call your Lake Masters representative and we'll provide you with a FREE survey.
Also Triploid grass carp are inexpensive compared to most other aquatic vegetation control methods because of their estimated ten plus years lifespan of effectiveness. Keep in mind, however, that the types of plants these fish prefer may also be important for sportfish habitat and waterfowl food. Aquatic vegetation can be important in maintaining good fish communities and providing food for other wildlife species. Stocking grass carp may also result in algae blooms and reduced water clarity.
Benefits of Triploid Grass Carp for Weed Control:
- They're sterile and will not reproduce.
- Are only distantly related to the undesirable European carp, and share few of their habits.
- Feed only on plants, not on fish eggs or young fishes.
- Feed from the top of the plant downward; however, where all submersed vegetation has been eliminated, the water can become turbid as hungry fish eat the organic material out of the sediments.
- Go dormant during the winter and resume intensive feeding when water temperatures reach 68°F.
- They have a lifespan of at least 10 years.
- Grow rapidly and may exceed 60 pounds.
- Are difficult to catch with conventional fishing methods.
Tilapia are a tropical fish that consume filamentous algae. A healthy population can consume enough algae to dramatically improve the aesthetic value of a lake. They can also help limit the need for algaecides to control algae. Although they are a non native fish they are present in almost all lakes in the southern half of Florida. Sometimes we recommend stocking these fish in communities that have recurring algae problems, although it must be kept in mind that Tilapia can have other impacts on lakes that are unintended, so the decision to stock them must carefully weighed. Tilapia can reproduce in Florida lakes and often will do so frequently
Lakes in Florida tend to stock themselves. There are a lot of ways this occurs, but the bottom line is you do not have to stock for fish to show up. Dig a lake, and the fish will come. This process however, can be made to occur faster by adding game fish. Also, some times older lakes can have a break down in the fisheries. This can happen when too many fish are taken out of the system by predation. Eagles, Osprey, Cormorants, Anhinga, Alligators, Turtles, Otters and Fishermen all consume fish and can impact the population. If there is little vegetation in the lake then there are fewer hiding places for smaller or baby fish, so loss to predation can be even more severe. Another situation that can occur is that some part of the food chain gets disrupted. Bass feed on smaller fish, that feed on even smaller fish, that feed on crustaceans or insects, or weeds or algae. Sometimes, low nutrient lakes do not produce enough vegetation for the beginning of this food chain to sustain other forms of life in high levels. Eventually this means less food for the minnows, and on up the line. Stocking game fish, and forage fish for them to feed upon can restore the proper balance. Lake Masters can help make recommendations for a healthy eco system.
Lake Masters chooses to provide fish for our customers at an incredible value. Grass Carp and Tilpia can help control our herbicide costs. Keeping this in mind we provide them to our customers at a lower price. In addition we love seeing healthy populations of fish in the lakes we manage, so we try to provide game fish at a price where stocking is an option. There is no better sign of the health of a lake than to see great wildlife populations that many times depend on fish. And there is nothing better than seeing the smile on the face of a happy fisherman catching a big one in a recreational lake.
Your Choice Is Clear! Please contact us for additional details.

Unfortunately, this situation typically results in the need for a new relationship with a lender whose footprint is within the property's market. With new relationships come questions, however, and until the lender and borrower develop a track record of success, the new lender will likely look for ways to safeguard against perceived risk in the transaction. Furthermore, the lender may have questions about the operator's ability to effectively manage the asset remotely, particularly if the operator has an investor mentality and lacks operational expertise, which is commonplace today.
In situations where investors without self-storage operation experience are looking to capitalize on opportunities that are in remote markets, often the solution is to present the use of third-party management as a viable solution that will help the lender gain comfort with the transaction.
Digging Out Troubled Borrowers
A final area where third-party management can be compelling for a lender or, in this case, an equity-capital source, relates to transactions with a troubled history that are in need of a workout or debt restructure. Regardless of whether the existing owner is deemed capable, in these situations bringing in third-party management can be a useful strategy to attract new debt and equity to the transaction.
In virtually every workout or restructure situation, there's a "story" that needs to be told about the history of the asset, combined with an outline of a strategic plan that will be implemented to restore value. Third-party management is often a key component of this strategic plan.
If an equity infusion is necessary to rebalance the capital stack and demonstrate a renewed equity commitment to the debt lender, a logical source for the capital may be a large operator of self-storage. This company will likely stipulate its management platform be implemented to participate in the transaction. Alternatively, if the equity capital is more institutional and fund-driven in nature, the capital provider will likely rely upon an existing operating partner relationship. Either way, third-party management in all probability would be a component of the new strategic plan for the asset.
Regardless of the reason for a transaction's troubled history, it can be difficult to attract new debt or equity to the deal without instilling a level of certainty about the operational capabilities of the management. Bringing in experienced, institutional third-party management is a viable way to demonstrate a renewed commitment and ensure management and operations will not be problems with the asset going forward.
Valuable Multi-Use Tool
For smaller self-storage owners, third-party management offers a number of compelling applications. It's a valuable tool that, with the right affiliate, can help alleviate financing issues that were difficult to overcome a few years ago.

I was moving well, had good anticipation and reaction today(Monday), which was key obviously on the return," Federer said."In the third set I started to feel extremely good on the return. I played well. I think I played tactically well tonight and was able to keep the points short on my own service games, used the one-two punch."That was obviously also a good thing tonight."Federer broke Raonic's serve in the 10th game to sneak through a tight opening set in 33 minutes. Raonic's serve held firm in the second set, as did Federer's, as they moved into a tiebreaker.A running, down-the-line backhand passing shot from Federer gave him the mini-break of serve in the tiebreaker and he closed it out without fuss.Raonic dropped his first two service games of the third set and Federer ran through the set in 35 minutes. The number two seed has negotiated his first four rounds at Melbourne Park without losing his serve."I have good reflexes," Federer said of nullify Raonic's serve. "You try to anticipate a bit, and it happened better and better as the match went on."It's important to stay focused.

AXE Vice Shower Gel, Bodyspray, Deodorant
Let's face it, not every guy can afford grooming products that cost $20 for a single bar of soap. Hell, that's six months worth of Irish Spring and frankly some guys prefer saving the cash for other gear. We understand.
That doesn't mean walking into the store necessary means you have to sell yourself short. AXE's revamped Vice lineup: Revitalizing Shower Gel, Deodorant Bodyspray and Invisible Solid Antiperspirant are retuned to give you a better, longer-lasting scent combined with effective protection. The mad scientists at AXE even brought in renowned expert Ann Gottlieb to do just that. Better yet, the prices are street-wise and no guy can deny the benefits of that.
What this means to you: Whether you admit to it or not, you know the commercials. The ones touting of unrelenting female attention when you use AXE products. We'll be the first to admit it's not going to happen – the product is a product, and what you're selling is yourself. That said, they've got some damn fine and hilarious 'Naughty To Nice' commercials (one after the jump) so take a peek, pocket the cash you save and spend it on your own gear.
Cost: Deodorant $5 | Shower Gel $4 | Bodyspray $5

Renewable energy and sustainable development in Hungary
This paper presents an overview of the use of renewable energy in Hungary. It analyses the role of renewables in the sustainable development of the country and in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Although Hungary is rich in geothermal sources, the use of renewable energy sources is not economically viable in the country compared with traditional energy sources. In Hungary, only biomass can currently be considered as a significant source of renewable energy. The potential for carbon dioxide and methane emissions reduction is estimated in the case of renewable energy penetration.

Notre Dame's incoming president was holding one of his first press conferences. Only sportswriters had shown up, one of them carrying a football, which he tossed to Father Theodore Martin Hesburgh, with a request that the priest assume the hike stance. "I'm not the coach," snapped the new leader of America's foremost collegiate football power, "I'm the president!" And he strode from the room. "That happened only once," recalls the 69-year-old Hesburgh, who is now preparing for his retirement; it will come next week, after a reign that is the longest and, by some accounts, the most distinguished of any major...

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Power steering rack/ gear assembly is leaking on 2006 Buick Rendezvous
We had 3 power steering pumps put in when it was under warranty and now that it is not under warranty the power steering fluid is leaking and they want us to pay $1,000 to fix it. $200 for the tranny flush, tires have 26,000 miles on them they said we need new tires at $560, calipher knuckle service front and rear $100 and $140 for fuel injection service. Grand total $2,000 plus tax for a 2006 buick rendezvous with 53,520 miles on it. Help Me Please!!! Joan firstname.lastname@example.com
Was the rack and pinion replaced more than 12 months and 12K miles ago?. Even if your car is out of the 4Y/50K warranty the parts that was replaced should have at least 12m/12K warranty on them, which overlaps the regular warranty. Check your invoice, other than that there is not much to do beside trying to use the "lemon law" if you had lots of repair done during the warranty period. You need to check your state regulations for this.

Home > Construction > Government Contracts
In the highly competitive government contract environment, it is essential for contractors to take advantage of experienced advisors such as the Government Contracts Group at Peckar & Abramson. This is especially true in difficult economic times, when private work diminishes.
For more than 30 years, Peckar & Abramson has provided comprehensive representation to clients that contract with federal, state, and local governments. We help our clients:
Peckar & Abramson has always believed that government contractors can be profitable and successful so long as they understand the rules.
Our Government Contracts Group has counseled government contractors with respect to virtually every aspect of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Our advice and counsel includes how cost principles are applied to invoicing, change orders and claims. This helps clients establish procurement, accounting and record-keeping procedures that provide evidence of the reasonableness of incurred costs in a manner that will be acceptable to the government.
Our Government Contracts Group offers a comprehensive catalog of services, including:
Our Government Contracts Group's attorneys have authored books and articles on virtually all aspects of contracting with the federal government, including bid protests, claim preparation and litigation, corporate compliance and ethics programs, government contract accounting and the practical aspects of defending against ethics complaints brought by the government. These lawyers are exceptional in helping organizations avoid and minimize litigation and liability–on the federal, state and local levels.
In 2011 alone, our Government Contracts Group succeeded in nine bid protests involving $428 million in contracts.
Our Government Contracts Group is also firmly dedicated to preventing trouble and to the cost-effective and timely resolution of disputes. We have an exceptional record of successfully negotiating and mediating issues worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
But if litigation is necessary, our attorneys have achieved favorable results before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Boards of Contract Appeals for the Defense Department, the military services, Homeland Security, General Services Administration (GSA), Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, Education, Agriculture, Corps of Engineers, Postal Service, Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Energy. We also have achieved success with state and local governmental agencies and the courts of those states.
In bid protests filed with the Government Accountability Office over the past several years, our clients have enjoyed a success rate of approximately twice the national average, including a series of successes encompassing more than 20 protests. Government data shows that the historical likelihood of success is 42 percent. We do not have data from other law firms, but we doubt our success rate can be equaled.
For example, we recently:
Our Government Contracts Group can assist in avoiding and minimizing litigation and liability in numerous ways, including:
The complexities and potential risks in government work require a team that is diverse in legal experience, highly attuned to the changing federal environment, adept at the business side of the equation and knowledgeable about specific industries. We counsel Fortune 500 companies and small/midsize companies that work in defense, aerospace, green energy, oil and gas, construction, engineering, information technology, systems integration, transportation and logistics, GSA schedule contracts, and federal energy regulations and contracts.
As the regulatory environment has evolved to become a minefield of liability, our Corporate Integrity and Compliance Group [link to compliance page] has evolved with our Government Contracts Group to help clients meet the challenges. We identify problem areas that could flag regulators and skillfully help clients achieve full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, the False Claims Act, the False Statements Act, the Anti-Kickback Act, the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws.
We also help clients develop strong compliance programs and internal controls, so they can avoid claims of mischarging arising from complex government accounting rules. If changes to corporate procedures are necessary, we help align internal processes to focus on integrity and commitment to compliance. And if potential ethics violations do surface, we conduct independent investigations and offer ways to move forward. We have independently investigated alleged violations of virtually all federal ethics laws, as well as potential Sarbanes-Oxley violations by publicly traded companies.
Peckar & Abramson considers government practice holistically. It is the only truly effective approach. For example, most federal supply and construction projects are governed by the Buy American Act, which requires that materials in projects be made in America. If a contractor on a federal project is accused of failing to comply, the issue ranges far beyond government contract questions. Is the compliance program working? Should the client do a compliance audit? Are the internal controls adequate? Is there criminal or civil liability under the False Claims Act, the False Statements Act or other federal laws? Thus, any team that practices in the government arena must also be versed in compliance and white-collar matters.
Though we are best known as the preeminent provider of legal and business advice to the construction industry, we support large and midsize contractors in all aspects of government contracting, from bid preparation to claims to compliance. We can:
One of the government's tools to prevent fraud is the False Claims Act, originally enacted in 1863 to deter suppliers of faulty war equipment during the Civil War. It includes qui tam provisions, also known as whistle-blower suits, which give citizens the right and the financial incentive to file lawsuits to recover losses caused by proven government fraud. These lawsuits are flourishing; citizens can collect a bounty of 15 to 30 percent in the event of a recovery against the wrongdoer - even if the individual has suffered no personal harm, and even if the individual participated in the wrong. Numerous reputable companies have paid hefty prices as a result of False Claims Act prosecutions. In 2011 alone the list included GlaxoSmithKline ($600 million), Maxim Health Care Services, Inc. ($150 million) and Verizon ($93 million on a GSA services contract).
Our attorneys have extensive experience representing government contractors who find themselves the target of allegations of false claims, corruption, and the violation of other federal laws.

It's time for everyone to give us mums a break
I'm not one of those naysayers who'll tell you - ideally on a radio phone-in - that society has been on the moral slide since the Sixties.
It doesn't take a clunky episode of George Gently to remind us of the gains we've made in terms of tolerance since the days when racist chatter was a dinner party staple and homosexuality was widely regarded amongst even the most educated classes as unnatural and shameful.
But what the last few decades have also, depressingly, clarified is that you can't legislate for compassion. And that, with a little encouragement, there are still loads of people happy to treat vulnerable people with contempt.
Take 26-year-old Lisa Needham. Earlier this year the Glasgow hotel manager discovered she was pregnant, a revelation she describes as "a happy surprise".
When she told her boss, rather than congratulate her, even through gritted teeth, he simply asked her what she was going to do about it.
A week later he announced that, despite having promoted her six weeks previously, he wasn't happy with her work and was thus demoting her to a two day a week minimum wage waitress job.
Reeling with shock, and without much fight in her, she capitulated to what she felt was pressure to resign. Panicked and poverty-stricken, she then decided to have an abortion.
This week Ms Needham revealed that, though she was eventually rewarded £30,000 after suing the hotel for sexual discrimination, she is yet to see a penny from her ex-employers. They have also ignored all of her lawyers' letters.
We all know Lisa Needham's case is far from exceptional. That great British business doyen Lord Alan Sugar said himself that he'd think twice about employing women of child-bearing age because it was "risky".
Most of us know women who have been cold-shouldered at work after making their joyful announcement of pending parenthood. And it often gets worse on the return to the office - a close friend of mine received an official warning (from a man with no children) when she couldn't attend one day of a (another stupid, pointless, patronising) 'skill-augmenting' course because her son was ill.
I'm not sure why, but the last few years in particular have seen a rise in militant anti-motherhood, not just among increasingly squeezed business owners, but within a certain pocket of the chattering media classes. I've lost count of the amount of articles I've read lately by child-free women who claim to bravely confront the myth of the superior status of mothers.
This usually appears to be achieved by courageously refusing to give heavily pregnant women a seat on the bus, or trying to make them feel bad if they ask to leave early on account of little Jimmy being in the school play/locked out of the house/in an incubator. "You chose to be a mum," these unsisterly harridans froth (which they can't possibly know for a start). "Why should I cut you any slack?" Um, because we live together in a society which needs a little kindness if it isn't to cut itself to shreds in the next few decades?
In a recent UK poll, more than half of managers said they weighed up the chances of a woman getting pregnant - including her age and marital status - when deciding whether to hire her.
George Osborne's enthusiasm for de-regulating small businesses is likely to lead to a legal accommodation for this kind of prejudicial bullying in the coming years. How heart-warming for the carriers of the next generation.

Innovation is the Key to the Future of Medicine

Toby CosgroveCourtesy of The Cleveland ClinicBill Gates once said that if business in the 1980s was about quality and in the 1990s it was about reengineering, then in the 2000s it will be about velocity. The rate of change is brutal. Obsolescence doesn't creep anymore, it leaps. The situation is best expressed in the Latin phrase absolutum obsoletum: If it works, it's out of date. In terms of shelf life, any technology at the peak of its adoption curve has passed its expiration date. You need to
