Medicine and the Law: Something's Got to Give
Throughout the nation, our healthcare system is struggling under the weight of lawsuits and miscellaneous legal costs. The problem is not simply that of the lawyer, but includes doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics, and the public. One strategy for reducing operational costs is cutting salaries of doctors and nurses. Newer, younger, and less experienced practitioners are being brought on board in many practices, which can increase the risk of negative occurrences. As mishaps and errors increase, more people file malpractice lawsuits. This can quickly become a vicious cycle of lowering income, bringing on less experienced professionals, watching risk increase, and spending more money for protection...

Why I Like Classic Car & Cycle People!
While watching the TV news, I was appalled at how many people can't just get along, to quote Rodney King. It is truly a very sad situation. Then I thought about all the different types of people we have at our event and how well they all get along. In the 18 years we have been doing our events, we have never had any trouble with the participants at our shows. Bikers, Low Riders, Classic Cars, Hot Rodders, Sports Cars types and Tuner owners, they all attend our classic car & cycle show and all of them have a great time. Don't get me wrong, they all have different likes and dislikes, but they are tolerant of their fellow gear heads. The world could learn a lot from Gear Heads! Learn to appreciate the...

Public Universities Must Return to First Principles
Public Universities Must Return to First Principles Higher education and America are in turmoil as technology and changing cultures up-end old economic models and delivery systems. Education choices abound and continue to grow. Parents, students and politicians question academic standards, methods and costs. As each institution struggles to define its place in the evolving order, none faces the identity crisis and the pressures confronting the public university. Most public universities are land-grant universities. In that original charter is the polestar to guide the schools in their search. Their origins point to their unique difference: they are publicly funded schools created to serve the...
Hollywood Celebrities and Pop Culture - The Rape of the Mind
Fame, fortune, and power stand at the top of the heap when it comes to what we call success. Most peculiar of these is fame. It seems the rule, which is rarely spoken out loud is, anyone who is very well known didn't get that way because they did everything wrong. Oh really! Who hasn't heard the names of some famous criminals like John Dillinger or Al Capone or John Wayne Gacy? Many of these criminals were even trusted and held hero status in the minds of some people. Actors after all only portray the very worst human behavior so they are held above any level of culpability. Ignoring the power of suggestion and the force of example they are generally held guiltless. That thousands of youth, weak...
Qatar Classic Cars, A Classic Love
Classic car lovers in Doha the capital of Qatar are willing to face the bumps to go after their passion. Classic, Antique or some may call vintage cars until very recently appeared to be a territory only the rich royalties and the VIPs are allowed to enter. However, this perception has gradually changed, and now the market holds possibilities for even the enthusiasts that are willing to spare a bit over a hundred-thousand Qatari Riyals the equivalent to twenty-thousands US Dollars. This became possible due to the economic boom the area is witnessing, efficient communications with classic car dealers in Houston, along with the superior supply chain management allowed cars in Houston to be transported...
How does this keep happening? Last Monday (June 25), ABC's Good Morning America (along with every media outlet in the US) reported another case of a trusted teacher hitting on a student! This time it's a male teacher involved in an inappropriate relationship with a female student. What's happening to the parent/teacher trust factor? Let's be honest...it's evaporating faster than you can say, "crazy teachers and sexual misconduct." I mean, I know it's a youth worshiping country, but this is getting ridiculous. According to every TV and radio station in the US, long time track coach Brenton Wuchae first started paying special attention to his then 14 year old student, Windy Hagar, a few years ago...
Will Landmark 1954 Brown V. Topeka Kansas Be Overturned?
In 1896, the Plessey v. Ferguson court decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing that it was legal and fair to separate public school students by race and color as long as the education given was "equal". As history has shown, the education was seldom fair or equal. Thus, in 1954 the landmark court decision of Brown v. Topeka Kansas struck down the 1896 decision. It outlawed racial segregation of public school students, ushering in the desegregation of public school institutions across the nation from elementary through college. Public schools were ordered by federal mandate to use race to equitably assign children to public schools; thus, eliminating the segregation that...
How NOT to Get Ripped Off at the Grocery Store
No matter how much you trim your budget, one expense that's sure to remain is food. But how much you spend on groceries each month is not fixed, and can vary by 15-20 percent or more. So because the grocery stores consider it their job to get you to spend more money, it is your job to keep your wits about you to avoid getting ripped off (especially on those grocery trips when you just wanted a gallon of milk, and left with five bags full of impulse buys). It's surprisingly easy to save a significant amount of money on your food bill (even up to $100 a month). Here's how. Check your receipt. Scanned items do not always ring up at the correct price. Watch the prices as they come up, and then...
Profiting From Affiliate Marketing Programs
Whether you are selling your own products or services or someone elses, just about everyone agrees you can be successful by having a niche market to address. Specifically, doing something or selling something better than anyone else as well as having a product that everyone may want, in a specific area and offering more to the market. An example may be health products.

You can know vitamins, what people are looking for in vitamins and how to get the best...
AeromarineTaxPros.com: Is There a Legal Way To Avoid Sales Tax?
Every person who has contemplated an aircraft purchase in the last few years has asked the question, "Is there a legal way to avoid sales tax?" Most of these people ponder this question with the same seriousness as "Will I win the Lotto tonight?"

Do Something Different - Travel by Train
Traveling by train is a different and unique way of seeing the countryside that almost seems a part of an era long past.

Collector Cars Are Fun To Own, Drive, And Invest In
Collector cars are passenger vehicles that are twenty-five years old or older. They are good cruising cars and are particularly well-suited for a summer jaunts. Collector cars are simply those cars deemed by their owners as classic, as having sentimental value, or are worth a lot more money than the average late-model car. Collector cars are stolen from time to time, but they tend to be harder to resell and the parts are often more difficult to market; because of this, theft insurance is lower than for regular cars. Because collector cars are driven less often and their owners take great care when driving and storing them, the classic car insurance rates are less than a standard auto policy. These...

Qatar Classic Cars
Qatar classic cars, a topic that never have I thought would be researching, or writing about. When I left Qatar seven years ago, there were no signs that there ever would be high demand in the market for classic cars, Qatar specifically and the region in general. A couple of months ago I received an international call at three in the morning. Don't be very deceived by the timing; the conversation could have waited a couple more hours, however due to miss calculations on the caller's behalf. By all means, I do not regret waking up to take the call. The subject was of great importance and forced me not to go back to sleep, rather jump right to research. The first thing I heard when I picked up the...

Delorean Cars Take You Back To The Future
DeLorean was a real American success story, the poor boy who made good. DeLorean was the antithesis of the buttoned-down auto executive of his day, sporting designer suits, dating models, and moving in celebrity circles. Some say DeLorean was vain, impulsive and sometimes overbearing. DeLorean's car would live on after it stopped being made, thanks primarily to Back to the Future, the top-grossing film of 1985. DeLorean Car Model The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car that was manufactured by the De Lorean Motor Company for the American market from 1981 to 1983 in Northern Ireland. Like Duran Duran, the Rubik's Cube and other Reagan-era icons, the car retains a following. Delorean had the parts to...

All About Car Shows: How To Plan In Phases
Rome was not built in a day and your car show won't be either. You have to plan your event in phases and execute it in phases. What does that mean? Write everything you want in outline format. Designate a completion date for each item of responsibility. For example, you need to contact car clubs to display vintage cars well in advance of the show date. This becomes your time-line. When the show day arrives, it will be easier to execute the plan because it was projected in phases. Another example, if you have five teams, divide the project outline among them. Each team will be responsible for its section and meeting the time-line. Although you are planning your car show to be executed in phases, it...

The Worst Years Of The Mustang
The Mustang II is considered by most Mustang enthusiasts as the worst of the line. By 1974, pollution controls and gas mileage concerns were destroying the previous generation of classic hot rods.

The Plymouth brand was first introduced on July 7, 1928 and was Chrysler's first entry in the low-priced field which was then dominated by Ford and Chevrolet.
