Yup, me and my Godson Alessandro Juliano,son of Mr. & Mrs. Angelo Juliano of Baci.
Alessandro is 6'4" and is in the 8th grade.
Bob "So Dave, I understand you finally won a disputewith your lady friend the other day..."
Dave: "Yes, she came crawling on her hands and knees." Bob: "Really? What did she say?"
Dave: "Come out from under the bed, you coward!" Life: What Makes An Italiano - Italian My Hotel Bill
Why do Italians hate Jehovah'sWitnesses?
Because Italians hate all wit-nesses.
Do you know why most menfrom Italy are named Tony?
On the boat over to Americathey put a sticker on them
that said(To New York ) TO NY
You know you're Italianwhen You can bench press 325 pounds,
Shave twice a day andstill cry when your mother yells at you.
You carry your lunch ina produce bag becauseyou can't fit two cappi-
cola sandwiches, 4 or-anges, 2 bananas and
pizzelles into a regular lunch bag.
Your mechanic, plumber, electrician,
accountant, travel agentand lawyer are all
your cousins.
You have at least 5 cousins liv-ing in the same town or on thesame block. All five of thosecousins are named after yourgrandfather or grandmother.
You are on a first name basis
with at least 8 banquet hall own-ers.
You only get one good shavefrom a disposable razor.
If someone in your family grows beyond 5' 9", it is presumed his
Mother had an affair.
There were more than 28 peoplein your bridal party.
You netted more than $50,000on your first communion.
And you REALLY, REALLYknow you're Italian when . . . .
Your grandfather had a fig tree.
You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00.
Christmas Eve . . . only fish.
Your mom's meatballs arethe best.
You've been hit with awooden spoon or had a shoe
thrown at you.
Clear plastic covers onall the furniture.
You know how to pronounce"manicotti" and "mozzarella."
You fight over whether it'scalled "sauce" or "gravy."
You've called someonea "mamaluke."
And you understand"bada-bing".
This is why I love the Italianculture....they are very naturaland earthy... please enjoy thistruth about Italians. Enjoy!
Italians have a $40,000 kitchen, but use the $259 stove fromSears in the basement to cook.
There is some sort of religiousstatue in the hallway, living
room, bedroom, front porchand backyard.
The living room is filled withold wedding favors with poofy
net bows and stale almonds(they are too pretty to open).
A portrait of the Pope and Frank Sinatra hang in the dining room.
God, forbid if anyone EVER at-tempted to eat 'Chef Boy-ar-
dee', 'Franco American', 'Ragu','Prego', or anything else labeled
as Italian in a jar or can.
Meatballs are made with pork,veal and beef. Italians do not
care about cholesterol.
Turkey is served on Thanksgiv-ing AFTER the manicotti, gnoc-chi, lasagna, and minestrone or
shcarole soup.
If anyone EVER says ESCA-
ROLE, slap 'em in theface -- it's SHCAROLE.
Sunday dinner was at 2:00PMsharp. The meal went like this...
The table was set with everydaydishes. It doesn't matter if they
don't match. They're clean; whatmore do you want?
All the utensils go on the rightside of the plate and the napkin
goes on the left.
A clean kitchen towelwas put at Nonna's &Papa's plates because
they won't use napkins.
Homemade wine and bottles of 7-UP are on
the table.
First course, Antipasto...Change plates.
Second course, maca-roni.
All pasta was calledmacaroni... Change
plates.
Third course, roast beef, potatoes and vegetables...
Change plates.
THEN, and only then - NEVER AT THE BEGINNING OF THEMEAL - would you eat the salad
drenched in homemade oil &vinegar dressing...
Change plates.
Next course, fruit & nuts - in theshell - on paper plates becauseyou ran out of the real ones.
Last was coffee with anisetteespresso for Nonna, 'American'
coffee for the rest - withhard cookies (biscotti) to dunk
in the coffee.
The kids would go out to play.
The men would go lay down.They slept so soundly that youcould do brain surgery on them
without anesthesia.
The women cleaned the kitchen.
We got screamed at by Mom or Nonna, and half of the sen-
tences were English, the other half Italian.
Italian mothers never threw a baseball in their life, but couldnail you in the head with a shoethrown from the kitchen whileyou were in the living room.
Ithought I would treat myself to a significant birthday. I gae myself astay... overnight in a really nice hotel.When I checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed me a bill
for $250.00.I asked to know why the charge was so high."I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an
overnight stay!I didn't even have breakfast."The clerk told me that $250.00 is the 'standard rate', and breakfast had
been included had I wanted it.So, I insisted on speaking to the Manager.A very attractive female hotel manager appeared and, forewarned by
the desk clerk, announced:"This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center
which are available for use.""But I didn't use them," I said.''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Lady.She went on to explain that I could also have seen one of the in-hotel
shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here,"
the Manager said."But I didn't go to any of those shows," I said."Well, we have them,
and you could have," the Manager replied. No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I replied,
"But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with her standard response.
After several minutes discussion,and with the Manager still un-moved, I decided to pay, wrote acheck and gave it to her.
The Manager was sur- prised when shelooked at thecheck. "But sir,this check is for $50.00."
"That's correct Icharged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," Ireplied.
"But I didn't!" ex-claimed the very surprisedManager.
"Well, too bad, I washere, and you could have."

California's Coastline Community College is giving its students the op-tion of completing a bachelor's degree in psychology through PennState's online campus, World Campus, thanks to a new partnership be-
tween the two institutions.Students who earn a two-year associate's degree from Coastline in Fountain
Valley, CA can now transition to Penn State World Campus to earn a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree in psychology online. According to PennState, Coastline students "will receive a waiver of the application fee, in-statetuition, pre-admission advising, a transfer credits roadmap, enhanced studentservices and a four-year tuition freeze," as well as access to Penn State faculty,courses, libraries and career services.
Penn State World Campus offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate and professional education programs, and many of the online instructors also teachon campus at Penn State. According to a prepared statement from Christopher
P. Long, associate dean for graduate and undergraduate education at PennState’s College of the Liberal Arts, this partnership will benefit Coastline stu-dents by allowing them to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology "without re-quiring them to uproot their work and family lives."
Coastline has similar partnerships with the University of Illinois - Spring-field for computer science degrees and the University of Massachusetts -Amherst for business administration degrees. The partnerships between Coast-line and the universities are part of the Learning First Program, a collaborative
partnership between Coastline Community College and various universitiesto help Coastline students to earn bachelor's degrees. The Learning First Pro-gram is led by the League for Innovation in the Community College andfunded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Californians want to round up, intern and kill SecondAmendment advocates
Steve Watson a London based writer...reports a whop- per..."Media analyst Mark Dice has once again documentedhow many young Americans are completely disconnectedfrom reality, capturing California college students signing afake petition to imprison all legal gun owners in concentra-tion camps and even to have them executed.
“We just want to make sure we disarm the citizens. Wecan trust the government to be the only ones with guns.”Dice said to students on campus in San Diego, while theyunquestioningly signed the petition to “repeal the SecondAmendment.”
“These peas-ants don’t need
guns,” Dicestated, adding“We want to putall registeredgun owners in
prison,” prompt-ing one studentto replay “Yes,it’s too danger-ous.” for peopleto own guns.
“It’s just asimple repeal of the SecondAmendment andwe’ll be termi-
nating and exe-cuting all of thegun owners.”Dice told an-other signatorywho replied“OK, thank you.” and walked off.
“We are going to ban all guns except for the military and police.” Dice told another student, who signed the petition.“We’ll do door to door confiscations, we have lists of all theregistered weapons, so the military will just go and takethose away from people.” Dice added. “Ok.” the studentreplied.
Another male student signed the petition even though Dicesuggested confiscating gun owners’ weapons and shootingthem with them. “If they like their guns so much, let’s just feedthe gun owners some of their own lead.” Dice ludicrously said.
“I didn’t think I could get any more ridiculous.” Dicestated after the student thanked him and went about his day.
But he did get more ridiculous. “We need to take thesegun owners and put them into FEMA concentration campsto keep everybody safe.” Dice told a skateboarding jock who replied “well I agree with you there, keep them safe.”Although he refused to sign “something I don’t know any-thing about,” which is something the next student did notconsider as he replied “sounds about right” to Dice’s FEMAcamp suggestion.
Several other students then happily signed the petition,with responses such as “no problem!” as Dice suggested
putting Americans in detention camps and killing them.Dice has now successfully managed to persuade Ameri-
cans in his area to agree to repeal the First, Second, Third,Fourth , Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Amendments, as well asthe entire Bill Of Rights.

Students Sign Petition:Gun Owners To Be
Executed In Concentration Camps
PETA Utter-ly Outrageous andTakes the Mea Culpa Path
People for the Ethical Treatmentof Animals have apologizedafter graphic animal cruelty
images were distributed to students ata Southern California elementaryschool.The Daily News says
(http://bit.ly/1ncnpHm) parents atCalabash Charter Academy in Wood-land Hills were outraged when PETA
volunteers outside the schooldistributed comics with photoinserts of bulls being de-hornedand an infected udder on a dairy
cow.The protest was organizedin response to the school's bring-ing a cow to school as part of alesson plan about dairyfarming.In a letter, the animal-rights group said the more graphicimages were intended for parents,not students.PETA said the volun-teers made a mistake in distribut-ing those materials to kids, butstopped short of apologizing for the protest.PETA offered to dis-tribute dairy-free ice cream sand-wiches on campus as part of themea culpa.

Denver Bron-cos quarter-
back PeytonManning took
two beatings last week, one from Seattle in the
Super Bowl and a second one from the New Jersey tax-
man. And unlike the game itself, no matter how well
he played, there’s no way he would have beaten the tax
collector.It’s called the “Jock Tax,” a tax on the income of pro-
fessional athletes who live in one state and play gamesin another. Here’s how it works. Take Peyton, he of the$15 million annual salary. The Broncos spent eight days
in New Jersey preparing for and playing in the Super Bowl. New Jersey tax law maintains that a portion of Manning’s salary is therefore earned while on state soil.The NFL season is approximately 235 days – referredto as “duty days” - long. Therefore, approximately 3.4
per cent of Manning’s $15 million salary, or $510,000,is taxable in New Jersey.
But wait, there’s more. Peyton’s Super Bowl earningsof $46,000 (the winner’s received $92,000 each), alongwith $23,000 he earned in the divisional playoffs and$42,000 in the conference championship game areadded to his annual salary prior to computing his NewJersey tax debt. New Jersey has one of the highest in-dividual income tax rates in the country at 8.97 percent,
which means Manning’stax bite for his Super Bowl activities is$46,086, as much as heearned for playing thegame. Ouch!
The computation as-sumes that Peyton playsthis year – last year’s$15 million salarydoesn’t count towards2014 income. If heopts to retire, New Jer-sey will receive a larger
percentage of his play-off earnings – based onfewer duty days – butfewer tax dollars over-
all.
Of course, Manning isn’t being singled out; he justhappens to be the highest paid player on either team.Every player on both Super Bowl teams, along withsupport personnel – e.g., coaches and trainers - is as-sessed the jock tax.
Only nine states - Alaska, Florida, Texas, Wyoming, Nevada, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Tennessee andWashington - exempt wage income from taxation.Major League teams are located in 25 states. Add incities - such as Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia -that impose their own jock tax, and you can understandwhy athletes in some sports are required to file upwardsof 20 tax returns a year. Call it the “Accountants’ Re-tirement and Relief Program.”
It should be pointed out that if an athlete pays incometax in one state, he receives a credit against taxes fromhis home state. That’s all well and good for Manning,whose “home state,” Colorado, imposes an income tax.But for athletes who play for teams located in Florida,Texas or Washington, there is no similar benefit.
And you thought the only reason NFL players pre-ferred to play the Super Bowl in Florida was because of the weather.

Traffic StopNets 27 Kilos of CocaineOn Tuesday, January 28, a Huntington Beach Police Officer stopped a Black Nissan
Sentra in the area of Edinger Avenue and Countess Drive for a routine traffic violation.The driver was found to be unlicensed and both he and his passenger were acting unusually
nervous under the circumstances. The officer re-quested assistance and was joined by a K9 Officer.The officers obtained consent to search the vehicleand found a large tire in the trunk of the vehicle thatobviously did not fit the Nissan.
K9 Officer Thomas and his narcotic-detection cer-tified K9, “Bohdy”, conducted a K9 sniff of the ve-hicle. Bohdy alerted to the tire and officersultimately found “bricks” of cocaine hidden inside.Antonio Tzampop and Jose Campos of PanoramaCity were arrested and booked at the city jail for transportation of a controlled substance. Narcotic de-tectives were notified due to the large amount seizedand the way it was packaged. In total, 27 kilos of co-caine were recovered which have a wholesale valueof $648,000 and an approximate street value of $1,297,645.
This investigation is continuing and no further in-formation is being released at this ti

K elley Holland, special to CNBC uses some Deduct-ive reasoning to help usall with the IRS..."2013 was a great year for many investors, but there's adownside. All those market gains may have left you with a lot more income
to report.Successful investing isn't exactly a problem, but it does mean that it's especially
important not to overlook useful tax deductions when you prepare your paperwork for the IRS.
One of the most important things to do when calculating your possible deductionsis to go over your major life changes in the past year. Many families go throughevents -- divorce, a college graduate moving back home -- that can make them eli-gible for important tax deductions.
"Dependents are probably my number one overlooked d eduction," said Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt. "We live in a modern world with modernfamily rules. Dependents, whether they are your children or a spouse's parent or afoster child or an ex-spouse's child -- make sure your tax expert understands boththe rules and your situation."
A natural disaster can also leave you with a deduction. If you suffered a loss froman event that becomes a federally declared disaster, you can deduct the loss. Becareful, though: Any compensation from an insurer or someone else for the losswill reduce or eliminate your deduction.
"It's sheer speculation on my part, but I think a lot of taxpayers may accidentallydeduct things that they don't realize are going to be paid by insurers," said MelissaLabant, director of tax advocacy for the American Institute of Certified Public Ac-countants. "They truly are trying to do the right thing, but they may not know that
insurance is going to cover it."If you donate goods in the course of a year, you can take deductions equal to their
value. Just be careful not to be too generous in your valuations: The IRS and others publish guidelines on how much to deduct for clothing, household items and other goods you give away.
Self employed workers, whose ranks have been swelling, have additional oppor-tunities for deductions. For example, medical, dental, or long term care insurancecosts may all be deductible.
"I'm not sure people realize how good that is," said Cathy Curtis, president of
Curtis Financial Planning. "Now it's 100 percent of your premium. It's a fantastic benefit." You may also be able to deduct health insurance for an adult child under age 27.
Many of us have elderly parents to care for, and the government makes that justa little easier with a tax deduction. Taxpayers can claim a credit equal to a percentageof the work-related expenses -- the payments that enable the taxpayer to work or continue working -- for the caregiver. This credit can be as high as $3,000, accordingto Curtis. "I"m sure that is a biggie for a lot of people now," she said.
Investors also have some nice tax deductions available. There are a number of small ones, like a tax preparer's fee or the cost of renting a safe deposit box.
But investors can also take a deduction for investment adviser fees on taxable ac-counts, provided they have miscellaneous deductions that are greater than 2 percentof their adjusted gross income.
Mortgage interest is deductible, of course, but it is also possible to deduct pointson a mortgage in the year you take it out.
If you refinanced a mortgage in 2013 and paid points, you can deduct those pointsas well, provided you do it in equal amounts every year over the life of the loan.
"I've seen clients try and take them all at once, or not take them at all," Curtissaid.
Congress allowed several tax deductions to expire at the end of 2013, but financial planners are holding out hope that at least some of them will be reinstated. One suchdeduction is for state sales taxes. Until the end of 2013, if you paid more i n salestaxes than in state income taxes, you could deduct those instead. Sales tax calcula-tions can take time, but if you made some big purchases in the last year, or live ina state with high sales taxes or no state income taxes, it's possible to uncover a
bigger deduction.Another expired deduction was particularly popular with affluent retirees. It al-
lowed them to take their required minimum distribution from an IRA, donate up to$100,000 of it to charity, and exclude the donated amount from income.
"I've got some people who want to take their required minimum distribution earlyin the year, but they want to take advantage" of the deduction if it is reinstated,Curtis said. "I'm telling them to wait. It's a paperwork mess."
Tallying deductions can be time consuming, no doubt about it. But after the year
we had in the markets, it's a chore not to avoid.
Often OverlookedTax Deductions..

Fox reports:..."Newly reported detailsabout a 52-minute sniper attack on acentral California electrical substationlast year are raising concerns from Capi-tol Hill and beyond, amid questions over whether it was the work of terrorists.
The April 16, 2013, attack had not been widely publicized until The WallStreet Journal reported new details in astory on Wednesday. The attack report-edly started when at least one person en-tered an underground vault to cuttelephone cables, and attackers firedmore than 100 shots into Pacific Gas &
Electric’s Metcalf transmission substa-tion, knocking out 17 transformers.Electric officials were able to avert a
blackout, but it took 27 days to repair thedamage.
The FBI doesn’t think the incidentwas a terror attack, an agencyspokesman told the Journal. However,Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the Fed-eral Energy Regulatory Commission atthe time, disagrees.
Wellinghoff, a now-retired George W.Bush appointee, called it “the most sig-nificant incident of domestic terrorisminvolving the U.S. power grid that hasever occurred.”
No arrests have been made in the case.But the Republican-led House Energyand Commerce Committee saidWednesday that lawmakers continue tofollow the probe and that protecting thegrid remains a top priority.
"We are aware of the attack and con-
tinue to monitor the investigationclosely,” a committee spokeswomantold FoxNews.com. “Committee staff has been briefed by agency officials andindustry representatives. The securityand reliability of the grid is a pressingconcern, and we will continue our work to mitigate all emerging threats."
Wellinghoff, who spoke to the Jour-nal, based his conclusion that this wasterrorism on the analysis of experts he
brought to the crime scene. The analysis pointed to the shell casings having nofingerprints and evidence that the shoot-ing positions had been pre-arranged.
Wellinghoff went public with the storyafter briefing federal agencies, Congressand the White House, citing national se-curity concerns and fear that electric-grid sites don’t have adequate
protection.In addition, retired PG&E executive
Mark Johnson said at an industry gath-ering a few months ago that he feared
the attack was a dress rehearsal for a
larger event, according to the Journal.The utility company responded to a
call seeking comment by referringFoxNews.com to a statement from theEdison Electric Institute.
"The industry takes its role as criticalinfrastructure providers very seriously,"said Scott Aaronson, the institute's sen-ior director of national security policy."Publicizing clearly sensitive informa-tion about critical infrastructure protec-tion endangers the safety of theAmerican people and the integrity of thegrid.”
Joy Ditto, a vice president with theAmerican Public Power Association,told FoxNews.com about a recent meet-ing on Capitol Hill that dealt specifically
with the attack and included a bipartisangroup of senators, industry executivesand federal agencies.
She said utility companies have beenable to prevent such attacks in large part
because they share information with re-lated parties.
However, she also said the meeting,which covered a broad range of topics,concluded with a commitment from ex-ecutives to keep the senators better in-formed and a desire for additionallegislation to legally protect those whoshare information about issues like at-tacks and disaster preparation.
“But we’d prefer not to see more reg-ulations,” she said.
Though the attack on the San Josesubstation didn’t cause a blackout, iso-lated incidents have in fact caused major
problems on the U.S. electric grid.In 2003, for example, downed trees
toppled transmission lines, creating a se-
ries of blackouts across Canada and theeastern U.S. that lasted for days.
Security for the grid has long been aconcern for government and the utilityindustry, but most recently the focus has
been on the risk of cyber attacks.Mike Hyland, an APPA senior vice
president, argued Wednesday the indus-try indeed took notice of the attack buthas been on high alert for decades -- re-sponding to such issues as the Y2K computer issue, the 9/11 terror attacks,Hurricane Katrina and most recently Su-
perstorm Sandy.“The industry has done a good job of
keeping security at the forefront,” hesaid."
Perhaps the subject of a good Novel,or was this a practice run by zealots witha passion for destruction and disruption.Staying alert and staying informed seemto be the best weapons against these yeanonymous acts. -The Local News

Dear Earth-Talk: Does the fact
that we’ve had such acold and snowy winter
mean that global warming might not be such a big prob-lem after all?
~ Lacey L., Lynchburg, VA
It’s tempting to think that the cold air and snow out-side augur the end of global warming, but don’t rejoiceyet. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), weather and climate are two very different
beasts: “Weather is what’s happening outside the door right now; today a snowstorm or a thunderstorm is ap-
proaching. Climate, on the other hand, is the pattern of weather measured over decades.”
Isolated weather events and even seasonal trends arenot an indication of global warming’s existence oneway or another, and most climatologists agree that thecarbon pollution we have been spewing into the atmos-
phere for the past century is leading to more frequentand intense storms of every kind and causing greater temperature swings all around the planet. In short, theharsh winter we are having shouldn’t be viewed as arefutation of global warming, but rather as further evi-
dence of a growing problem.“There is a clear long-term global
warming trend, while each individual year does not always show a temperature in-
crease relative to the previous year, andsome years show greater changes than oth-ers,” reports the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration (NOAA). Theagency chalks up these year-to-year fluc-tuations to natural processes such as El
Niño or volcanic eruptions, but points outthat, regardless, the 20 warmest years onrecord have occurred since 1981, while the10 warmest were in the past 12 years. Andglobal average temperatures have risen by1.4°F overall since the early 20th century.
According to Becky Oskin of Live-Science.com, shrinking polar ice caps as aresult of global warming in recent decadesare one factor that may be contributing to
the cold weather in North America thiswinter. “One way the shrinking ice changes weather is by pushing winter air south,” she reports. “When thestored ocean heat gradually escapes in autumn, itchanges the pattern of an atmospheric wind called the
polar vortex, streaming frigid Arctic air into NorthAmerica and Europe.” Meanwhile, a 2012 study by re-searchers Jennifer Francis and Stephen Vavrus con-cluded that intense warming in the Arctic has causedchanges to the jet stream that regulates air circulation
around the planet, potentially lead-ing to stronger winter storms hittingthe eastern seaboard of the U.S.
And what about all that snow?“Hotter air around the globe causesmore moisture to be held in the air than in prior seasons,” reports UCS.“When storms occur, this addedmoisture can fuel heavier precipita-tion in the form of more intense rainor snow.” The U.S. is already en-during more intense rain and snow-
storms, says the group: “Theamount of rain or snow falling inthe heaviest one percent of stormshas risen nearly 20 percent, aver-aged nationally—almost threetimes the rate of increase in total
precipitation between 1958 and2007.” And some regions of thecountry “have seen as much as a 67
percent increase in the amount of rain or snow falling in the heavieststorms.”
And Oskin points out that whilewe may be bundling up and shovel-ing out in the U.S., it’s turned intoanother scorcher of a summer in the
Southern Hemisphere: 2013 wasAustralia’s hottest year on record,and 2014 has started off even hotter,with temperatures soaring to 125°Fand severe fire warnings issued inat least two states there. Apparentlyglobal warming is still on.

Why you should wear a sword if you wanta glass of wine in Ireland.
By Claire Adamson | Posted Friday, 31-Jan-2014
1. Perhaps the most famous law that haunts theworld of wine is a 1954 decree stating that no fly-ing saucers may fly over, take off from, or land onthe vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This is, of course, very unfortunate for grenache-loving Mar-tians who have screaming kids in the backseat anda trunk full of groceries. I guess they’ll have to
park the flying saucer in nearby Vacqueyras andwalk.
2. Women are not permitted in the wine regionof Mount Athos, Greece, not at all, ever, and thishas been the case for the last thousand years.Womanly wiles are apparently distracting to themonks who live there, and so local law has sparedthese men from having to look upon any female,from Jennifer Lawrence to your elderly, musta-chioed Great-Aunt Muriel. This sounds like theworst place in the whole world and if wine reflectsthe winemaker, I can only imagine that winesfrom Mount Athos sing with a frustrated, nervousenergy.
3. At Dublin’s Trinity College, any student candemand a glass of wine during an exam, so longas they are wearing a sword. Under this arcanelaw, it apparently seems like a fun idea to letarmed, stressed-out and quite possibly sleep-de-
prived students get their drink on during an exam.
4. Wander into any German wine cellar and you
will quite possibly see a cage in one corner.Sparkling wine must be kept under lock and keyand the German tax office imposes a ‘luxury’charge on these wines. The law has been in placesince 1902 to – get this – fund the pre-war Ger-man Navy. The tax remains today, but has not
been used to purchase new boats since 1949. In-stead, it pro-vides a smallamount of in-come for theGerman gov-ernment andkeeps theGerman pad-lock industryafloat. Of course, if yousee no winein the cageand there is alarge, leather-clad womanin the room,chances are you have wandered into some other kind of cellar.
5. In the state of Pennsylvania, a man whowishes to buy a bottle of wine (or any alcohol for that matter) must have a written note of permis-sion from his wife. This has led to a high level of wifely satisfaction in the state, and is possibly the
reason that Bravo has not yet approved a "Real
Housewives of Philadelphia" TV se-
ries.6. In neighboring
Ohio, you should probably look pastyour mate Nemo for advice on what wineto pour with your
roast beef. State law prevents you from feeding booze to a fish. The word is still out on whether it
is acceptable to flambé your freshly caught troutin alcohol.

A federal judge in St. Louisruled Monday that a driver flash-ing their lights to warn other driv-ers of an impending speed trap is
protected free speech.On November 22, 2012
Michael Elli received a ticket for flashing his lights to warn fellowdrivers of a speed trap, accordingto Fox 2. The American Civil Lib-erties Union helped Elli fight the$1,000 ticket all the way to fed-eral court.
Judge Henry Autrey of St.Louis ruled a driver has the rightto flash their lights under the FirstAmendment. Autrey issued an in- junction to stop Ellisville Policefrom enforcing the policy.
"If you're at the gas station onthe corner and someone says 'Hey
be careful over there, there's aspeed trap,' that's protectedspeech. You can't be ticketed for
that. This is no different," TonyRothert, an attorney for the Amer-
ican Civil Liberties Union, toldFox 2.
A lawyer for the police in El-
lisville said the department isn'taffected by the ruling, as this kind
of ticket has only been issued fiveor so times in the last decade.Across the country, however, the
ruling will be considered the benchmark for such cases.

Feds Want Cars To Be Able To
Talk To Each OtherTheir Viewpoint: Technology Possibly a Way To Reduce Collisions On the Road
The Associated Press talks up a storm as theFed has something to say too...just listenin...” Raising hopes of preventing many
collisions, transportation officials say they'll pro- pose requiring that automakers equip new carsand light trucks with technology that lets vehiclescommunicate with each other.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx saidMonday the technology holds the potential to sig-
nificantly reduce crashes, injuries and deaths onthe nation's streets and highways.
A transponder would continually transmit thevehicle's position, heading, speed and other in-
formation 10 times per second in all directionsusing radio signals similar to Wi-Fi. Cars wouldreceive the same information back from other ve-hicles. A vehicle's computer would alert thedriver to an impending collision. Some systemscould automatically brake to avoid an accident.
"It will change driving as we know it over time," said Scott Belcher, president and chief ex-ecutive of the Intelligent Transportation Societyof America. "Over time, we'll see a reduction incrashes. Automobile makers will rethink howthey design and construct cars because they willno longer be constructing cars to survive a crash, but building them to avoid a crash."
The group says the technology would add about
$100 to $200 to the cost of a new car.The safety benefits can't be achieved until there
is a critical mass of cars and trucks on the roadusing the technology, and it's not clear what that
level of market penetration is. It takes many yearsto turn over the nation's entire vehicle fleet, butthe technology could start preventing accidentslong before that. Research indicates safety bene-fits can be seen with as few at 7 percent to 10 per-cent of vehicles in a given area similarly
equipped, said Paul Feenstra, a spokesman for thetransportation society, an umbrella organizationfor the research and development of new trans- portation technologies.
Once automakers start adding the technologyto all new cars, it would take 15 years or more for half the carson the nation's roads to be equipped,according to the communications technologycompany Qualcomm. There are about 5 million
to 6 million new cars sold each year.There may be a way to speed things
up. About 45 percent of Americans usesmartphones, and that share is grow-ing. The average lifetime of a smart- phone is two years. If smartphones,which already have GPS or satellite lo-cation systems, came equipped with aradio chip they could be used to retrofitvehicles already on the road so thatthey can talk to each other. The phonewould be put in a cradle to sync withthe car'scomputers. That would helpmake it possible to achieve a 50 per-cent market penetration in less thanfive years, according to Qualcomm.
Using cellphones could also extendthe safety benefits of connected-car technology to pedestrians, bicyclistsand motorcyclists. Drivers would bealerted to a possible collision with a pedestrian carrying a smartphone thatcontinually sends out information tocars in the vicinity, even if it's too dark to see the person or if the pedestriandarts suddenly into traffic. More than4,700 pedestrians were killed by vehi-
cles and 76,000 injured in 2012.But there are significant technical and standard-
ization hurdles to using cellphones to supportconnected cartechnology. Cellphone batteries
typically last only about three hours if used con-tinually. They would need antennas, there are is-sues with what radio frequencies would be usedand their GPS functions may not be as precise asthose in a vehicle manufactured with connectedcar technology, for example.”

On February 3, 2014, Janet Yellen surpassedChristine Lagarde as the most powerfulwoman in the world. Mrs. Yellen has offi-
cially succeeded Mr. Ben Bernanke as chairman(chairwoman) of the Federal Reserve of the UnitedStates. She now has her hand on the steering wheel,directing the course of the world’s largest economy.
Mrs. Yellen becomes the first woman to take thehelm of the Federal Reserve in its 100 year history.
She is also the first democratic nominee since PaulVolcker was appointed by Jimmy Carter in 1979.
She is also the most qualified and experiencedchairperson to take the helm. Her two prior prede-cessors, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan, eachhad barely over three years of public economic serv-ice prior to their appointments. Janet Yellen hasspend the last three years as Vice Chair, headed upthe San Francisco Fed for six years, ran the Council
of Economic Advisers (CEA) for two years, andserved three years on the Fed Board of Governors
before that. No prior Chairperson even comes closeto the level of experience she brings in public eco-nomic policy.
Mrs. Yellen is primarily considered to be Dovishin her policy. This means that she tends to be moreconcerned with unemployment than inflation. Con-trolling inflation and promoting employment are the
two main focuses of theFederal Reserve. Bycontrast, Hawks consider a controlled level of in-flation their number oneeconomic priority.
This dovish philoso- phy could be a concernfor mortgage rates in thelong term. Inflation is
public enemy #1 for mortgage rates. So longas inflation remains low,rates will remain low. Assoon as inflation moveshigher, so will mortgagerates.
Yet Mrs. Yellen has been hawkish at times.During the economic
boom of the mid-1990s
Mrs. Yellenc a u t i o n e dthat unem-
ployment was dangerouslylow which could lead to in-creased wages, generating awave of wage-based infla-tion. So although Mrs. Yellenhas been very dovish over thelast few years and during therecession, she has also shownthat she is flexible enough to
change her stance whenthe situation calls for it.
Mrs. Yellen’s adjust-ments in economic phi-losophy may also be influenced in part by the worksof her husband. George Akerlof shared the 2001
Nobel prize in economics for his work on asymmet-ric information. He has also authored books on thefinancial crisis and banking regulations, making pro-found analyses on the conflicts of interests of bank-ing managers during the subprime fiasco leading upto the recent financial crash.
Whether taking a cue from her husband or not,Mrs. Yellen recently announced the need for “in-creased transparency of shadow banking markets sothat authorities can monitor for signs of excessiveleverage… reduce the risk of runs on money marketmutual funds… continued reductions in the amountof intraday credit provided by the clearing banks.”
Dubbed as the “16 Trillion Dollar Woman,” Mrs.Yellen is taking over what is still a very fragile econ-omy. Controlling inflation and unemployment are
just the tip of the iceberg for what’s ahead. The Fed-eral Reserve has the largest balance sheet in its 100year history, and the United States is also more than$16 trillion in debt. Balancing a budget will undoubt-edly be high on her agenda as well.
The good news is that leading economists over-whelmingly agree that she is the right woman for the job.

Is the ' Biggest Loser' Too Thin Or Is She the
Biggest Winner?How far would you go...I know I wish
I could go at least half a far...Posted by Brian Slupski and authorized
by Shannon Antinori..."Biggest Loser"winner Rachel Fredrickson lost a greater percentage of weight than any contestant
in the NBC show's 15-year run and thedramatic weight loss has some critics call-ing her too thin.
A former competitive swimmer whowas an athletic 150 pounds in the second-to-last episode, Frederickson's 59.62 per-cent weight. After starting the competitionat 260 pounds, Frederickson lost a total of 155 pounds.
But, it was at Tuesday's live finale,filmed weeks after the three finalists wenthome to continue their weight-loss jour-neys on their own, that 24-year-old Fred-erickson was crowned "The BiggestLoser." She appeared dramatically thinner than the last time viewers saw her as shewon the "Biggest Loser" triathlon.
Viewers took to social media to express
concern over Frederickson's ap- pearance, and trainers JillianMichaels and Bob Harper — whohave yet to publicly react to Fred-erickson's win — appearedsomber and shocked as Frederick-
son walked out onstage."I actually can't stop thinking
about The Biggest Loser," one fanwrote on Twitter. "It was such anamazing night with a very weirdending. I hope Rachel is OK."
Some said the show should setnew rules to prevent contestantsfrom becoming underweight justto win the coveted title and$250,000 prize money.
"Perhaps #biggestloser should set alower limit according to health guidelinesand if they go below, no win," one fanwrote . Another agreed: "There needs to bea red line that disqualifies finalists for toomuch weight loss based on a minimumBMI threshold."
Other viewers were quick to point outthat the criticisms about Frederickson'sweight — and posts calling her anorexic — amount to body-shaming.
"#rachel from #BiggestLoser looksgreat!," a fan wrote on Twitter. "It's sadhow unhealthy people post their #bullywords of disgust. Proud of her!"
