Mercedes Benz Zetros - Fiat Panda Cross: David versus GoliathIt's not for the faint hearted. Our two cars will be going head to head in a disused quarry with treacherous water ditches, near vertical inclines and the toughest terrain imaginable.It's big versus small, with the largest production off-roader taking on the smallest. The Mercedes Zetros 6x6 versus the plucky Fiat Panda 4x4. 10.5 tons against 1 ton. 7.2 liters and 240 kW versus 1.3 liters and 51kW. Does the Panda stand a chance or will the giant Zetros make light work of it? test it! Lexus CT 200hThe Japanese Lexus models have become big hits in Europe and the USA. The Lexus CT 200h is the first hybrid premium compact car. It has four driving modes including purely electric.It only has a range of under 2 kilometres but a regenerative braking system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy and recharges the battery. The car automatically switches to the electric mode whenever possible. The manufacturer says the car uses 3.8 litres of gasoline over 100 kilometres.spot it! BMW Motorbike DaysThere are BMW Motorbike fans around the world. Once a year they travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen.Bikers from Norway, Russia, Portugal, Britain, Ireland and the United States, just to mention a few countries, flocked to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Bavarian Alps for the annual motorbike event. 19 bikers from Malaysia even made the journey this year. They shipped their bikes to Istanbul and then rode the rest of the way. drive it! went to Bavaria to see the motorbike world in action. vintage! The Karmann GhiaIt is a heartbreaker of a car, a real dreamboat and possibly the most beautiful VW ever built. However the sporty coupe does have one small drawback. Its design is far racier than its driving performance.The first Ghias were fitted wtih 30 horsepower VW Beetle engines, while later models got 50 horsepower motors. Still, when the Karmann Ghia was introduced back in 1955 this was more than enough to keep vehicles like the Goggomobil and BMW Isetta in check. During it's close to 20 years in production, some 443,000 Ghias were sold. Today this classic car has nothing left to prove. We take a relaxing drive in this stylish milestone of automotive history.

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 9/19/11: Government as a Venture Capitalist

http://RonPaul2012.com http://paul.house.gov http://CampaignForLiberty.com http://DailyPaul.com http://RevolutionPAC.com In January 2009, the administration claimed that if Congress passed a rush stimulus bill, the United States would be saved from economic catastrophe that was threatening to send unemployment figures above 8 percent. Government stimulus was the answer and if we cared about our country, we would set aside our reservations and do what needed to be done to pass the bill. Congress passed the bill. Unemployment continued to go up and has been well over 8 percent ever since. (In fact, economist John Williams of ShadowStats finds unemployment to be closer to 23 percent using traditional methodology.) Yet some are claiming the first stimulus worked and all we need to bring back prosperity is more government stimulus. Stimulus might appear to work for some people for a short time. It worked for a short time for Solyndra. For a time, they could pretend to be engaging in productive activities that would help the economy. For a time, unemployment was 1,100 people less. But the recent bankruptcy of Solyndra shows that the government is a terrible venture capitalist. This charade cost the American people over half a billion dollars they could not afford, yet there is no mea culpa. The administration is not questioning its calculations, or how they could have been so wrong on their unemployment predictions in the wake of the last stimulus. Instead, they want more money. Once again we are hearing the cry that if we care about our country, we will approve more spending and more taxes and that will create more jobs. They promise. Yes, you could have gone to the Solyndra factory and you would have seen jobs. What you could not have seen were the productive jobs that were never created. Real venture capitalists make decisions based not on politics and photo opportunities, but on complex economic estimations of risk and reward. They don't simply throw piles of other people's money at a factory and expect magic to happen. The uncreated jobs you can't see might still be around. Instead, we have more government debt which will lead to more inflation and more taxes. These, in addition to an already hostile regulatory environment, only add to the burden and risk of job creation in the private economy. It has been said that when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. Our government is full of people who sincerely believe big government and more spending is the answer to every problem. They automatically look to government for every solution. Government is their hammer, and all they know to do is to keep hammering. When government "solutions" still don't solve the problems, they are unfazed. They keep calling for more government, more laws, and more programs. Americans are tired of being treated like nails. This government-centric mindset is the root of the problem. People who think this way are naturally drawn to politics and government. To them, the Constitution is an annoying road block, something to get around, or ignore. We must become interested in real, lasting, productive jobs - careers that allow families to build up a solid foundation of prosperity and economic security - not pretend make-work government jobs that waste resources and vanish overnight. We have to choose one or the other.

Talking to Children About HIV

[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 10:05:07 03/15/11
It is never easy to talk with your kids about sex. But each year, there are approximately 19 million new STD infections, and almost half of them are among young people ages 15 to 24. In 2009, 46% of high school students reported having sexual intercourse and 14% already had four or more sex partners. These statistics show how critically important it is to have this conversation with your kids. To help parents with this conversation, Community Health Charities invited Chris Collins, Vice President and Director of Public Policy at amfAR, to talk about these current trends and share information and resources that may help you talk with your kids. Collins has spent more than 18 years working in HIV/AIDS policy and advocacy. He is the author of Improving Outcomes: Blueprint for a National AIDS Plan for the United States, which was published by the Open Society Institute in 2007. Most recently, Collins was a consultant on policy and communications efforts for organizations including the Coalition for a National AIDS Strategy and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he helped coordinate the Foundation’s Global HIV Prevention Working Group and reviewed grant proposals. Additionally, Collins co-founded the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC) in 2002 and served as its executive director for two years, leading the organization’s advocacy and development efforts. He continues to serve on the board of AVAC. He also served as chief adviser to U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on HIV/AIDS and health policy, a role in which he developed the first Congressional legislation designed to provide incentives for the development and delivery of vaccines against AIDS, malaria, and TB. Watch our video podcast on “Talking to Your Kids about HIV/AIDS.” In this episode, you will learn startling statistics and information about sexually-active kids under the age of 18, the HIV/AIDS infection rates, and information and resources available to parents to help guide conversations about sexually transmitted diseases. Founded in 1985, amfAR is dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic through innovative research. With the freedom and flexibility to respond quickly to emerging areas of scientific promise, amfAR plays a catalytic role in accelerating the pace of HIV/AIDS research and achieving real breakthroughs. amfAR-funded research has increased the understanding of HIV and helped lay the groundwork for major advances in the study and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
