No Comments » March 14th, 2011 admin If you have been looking for a reliable used car and can’t find a decent car that fits your budget, a public car auction offers you hundreds of choices at a price that you can afford.
Auto auctions typically get their inventories from a variety of sources including police car auction, government auto auction, seized vehicle auction and car salvage auction. Capital Auto Auction works with these sources in order to offer buyers the best selection of used cars that any auto auction can offer. If you have never attended a car auction before, a few simple steps will ensure that your first public car auction is a good experience.
Preparing for your first public car auction is easy and can be done from the convenience of your home. You can start by visiting the website of Capital Auto Auction and getting familiar with the company and what it has to offer buyers. The website offers you the opportunity to shop before the actual car auction. Every car offered at a Capital Auto Auction is featured at the website complete with several pictures, a full description and a listing of features. Many of the cars also include information as to whether they came to Capital Auto Auction via a police car auction, government auto auction or a car salvage auction. Many cars offered through their used car auction come from private individuals as well. Along with the basic information you will be able to find out how much each car is being auctioned for and the location at which it is being auctioned. It’s a good idea to write down the information about each car that you are interested in so that when you attend the auto auction you will be ready to bid on cars that you really want.
After you have done your preliminary shopping the next step in preparing for your first car auction is to register. Registering for a public car auction through Capital Auto Auction takes only minutes of your time and is free. Registering prior to the day of the auto auction saves time because your information will already be on hand. Once registered the only thing you will need to remember to do is bring along a deposit to leave for the car you have won a bid on. In the event you can not attend the car auction in person, you can still feel the excitement of a car auction by taking part in an online auto auction. Simply register for the online car auction and get ready for a car shopping experience like no other!
February 14th, 2011 admin Daytona Beach, FL, United States (AHN Sports) – NASCAR has a new kind of two-car racing at Daytona International Speedway this Speed Weeks but due to the speeds they produce the sanctioning body is adding a new wrinkle to slow the cars down in the interest of safety.
A pressure release radiator-cap will be implemented on the cars beginning Wednesday in an effort to slow their speeds by reducing the amoung of two-car drafting.
“What we know is, we can have good races at 200 miles an hour and 100 miles an hour, and everything in between,” said John Darby, NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series director. “I think we can all agree … that 206 is probably a little bit to the extreme side.”
Each car’s front grille, which currently measures between 100-150 square inches, but it will now be a uniform 50 square inches.
The additional wrinkle is each car’s radiator will be equipped with a pressure-relief valve set to 33 psi, which will force each driver to keep an eye on his engine temperature gauge or risk blowing the valve and losing the water out of his radiator.
It is an indirect way of trying to bring down the speeds from Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout. The rear car in a two-car draft will have to occasionally move out of line, into open air, in order to cool its engine, thus the breaking of the draft will slow the speeds.
“The speed is the problem,” said Jimmy Makar, who runs the racing operation for Joe Gibbs’ team. “I think we’re all a little nervous about the speed. We don’t need to be running that fast.”
By possibly limiting the two-car drafting, NASCAR is hamstringing an unusual style of racing that hasn’t been universally embraced by onlookers.
“They’re all related; you don’t have the chicken without the egg,” said Darby. “All this does is, it puts a ceiling on how hot you can run. If everybody has to quit pushing when it gets to 250 degrees, that’s your limit. The world’s not broken, we just want to tweak it a little bit.”

February 2nd, 2011 admin New York City, NY, United States (CNS) – Celebrity magician David Blaine and his fiancé have welcomed their first baby girl at a New York City hospital just in time after a severe snowstorm almost caused the couple to be stranded at home.
When Blaine’s fiancé and French model Alizee Guinochet started feeling contractions last Wednesday, the 37-year-old illusionist-street magician couldn’t get a taxi to magically appear, according to The New York Post.
With a large blizzard ripping through the city, Blaine couldn’t find a cab in sight. Instead, he flagged down a passing snow plough and convinced the driver to take them to a hospital.
“The doorman and people on the street tried to help him flag down a taxi,” a source told the newspaper. “But there were absolutely no cars on the road.”
A representative for Blaine confirmed that the couple used a plough mobile to get to a nearby medical center and revealed that Guinochet gave birth to their fist child.
The rep refused to give any further details, but did say, “Mom and baby are doing fine.”

Only electric cars and bicycles were allowed to circulate the entire day.
The Car-Free Sunday event came after the national atmosphere agency, Legambiente, warned against the excessive levels of CO2 in most of the Italian cities and stressed on need to take immediate measures to reduce gas emissions and limit traffic.
According to the leading NGO, pollution levels in 30 out of 48 Italian provincial capitals exceeded the EU limit for more than 35 days last year. Its report said that the fine airborne particles cause premature deaths of 15 in 10,000 Italians annually.
The regional authorities also urged the drivers, through an information campaign, to switch off their car heaters to get rid of harmful gas emissions. Useful guidebooks are also available on how to help environment and about car-free days.
With the success of first car-free day, most Italian cities agreed to organize it once every month to control pollution levels in their cities and also for the well-being of the residents.

But rather than simply be a partisan issue, many politicians from both sides of the aisle have decided to join forces and work to exempt their states from some or all of the new federal mandates. According to a recent Reuters report, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Scott Brown (R-MA) have together crafted a new proposal that would allow states to file exemptions from certain requirements of the federal health care bill. Such requirements include mandating that everyone purchase health insurance and requiring all employers to provide coverage or else face penalties. “States shouldn’t be forced by the federal government to adopt a one-size-fits all health care plan,” explained Brown in a statement. “Each state’s health care needs are different. Our bill provides flexibility and allows states … to opt out of portions of the health care law.” The proposal is said to be one of many that will be put before the new Congress to challenge portions or the entirety of the new health care law. And according to reports, it is the first official one to be put forth. Recently, the Tenth Amendment Center (TAC) put forth a piece of legislation that completely overturns the federal health care law. Dubbed the “Federal Health Care Nullification Act”, the bill is the only one of its kind that allows states to truly nullify the federal health care bill while simultaneously declaring their sovereignty (http://www.naturalnews.com/030297_tenth_amendment_health_care_bill.html).

November 12th, 2010 admin NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The Federal Reserve Bank of New York bought $7.229 billion in Treasury bonds on Friday, the first operation as the central bank engages in a second round of quantitative easing to support lending and spending. The amount includes purchases to be made under a previous program to reinvest cash from its maturing mortgage-related holdings back into Treasurys. Dealers offered to sell the Fed $29.039 billion. The Fed had said it would buy $6 billion to $8 billion in debt maturing from 2014 to 2016. Deborah Kilroe, a spokeswoman for the New York Fed, said the end of the operation was delayed slightly because they had to restart the operation due to technical difficulties. After the announcement, the broader bond market stayed down, pushing yields higher. Yields on 10-year notes rose 5 basis points to 2.70%.
