Stuart Wheeler takes Government to court over Lisbon Treaty.
2008-06-09 08:00:00 Stuart Wheeler gets his day in court today. He intends to prove that Gordon Brown's refusal to allow us the referendum his government promised in their manifesto is:"Not only immoral but illegal, too . "This was a referendum the people of Britain were promised well before the last election, during it, and after it. "But instead of fulfilling that promise, Gordon Brown has tried to push the Constitution in via the back door by rebranding a document and presenting it as a completely different text. "This is a ridiculous argument. Leaders across Europe - including Valery Giscard d'Estaing, the author of the EU Constitution - have acknowledged, indeed almost gloated about the fact, that the Treaty is the Constitution in all but name. "Furthermore, regardless of what name it is given, the vast majority of the British public want a referendum on this Treaty as demonstrated by the results of a YouGov poll last month."I had to laugh at the response from the Foreign Office spokesman: "Hard...

Wheeler set for retirement; Smith in line to lead LMS
2008-05-21 10:05:00 CONCORD, N.C. — Legendary promoter H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler is retiring as president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway, and the official announcement could come as early as Wednesday. In what may be his last race in that capacity, Wheeler will oversee the running of Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600. Wheeler held the first night race at a superspeedway in 1992, after the installation of a $1.7 million lighting system at LMS. Wheeler, 69, reportedly will be succeeded by Marcus G. Smith, 34, son of track owner and Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman O. Bruton Smith. Marcus Smith has served as executive vice president of national sales and marketing for SMI, a publicly traded company, since 2004. Wheeler came to work at what was then named Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1975 and in 1980 was named president of the track. He also has served as chief operating officer and director of SMI since its organization in 1994. "There will never be another Hump...
John Wheeler Passes Away
2008-04-16 02:53:00 Pioneering physicist John Wheeler has died aged 96. Wheeler was one of the last 'legends' from the Manhattan Project era: he coined the term "black hole", taught many of the great 'second generation' physicists including Richard Feynman, and co-authored the established textbook on Einstein's general theory of relativity. Those who are interested in the 'fringes' of science may have found Wheeler to be a bit of an enigma. He famously petitioned the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), requesting the expulsion of parapsychology which he believed was a pseudoscience. This despite his own reputation as being somewhat anti-establishment, and also having proposed theories suggesting that 'reality' was composed of more than just the physical, and that consciousness was in some way intrinsically involved in the process. As science writer John Horgan noted: "He has helped gain acceptance ? or at least attention ? for some of the most outlandish ideas of moder...
Death of John Archibald Wheeler Biography
2008-04-15 02:28:00 President and Mrs. Bush Saddened by Death of John Archibald WheelerLaura and I are saddened by the death of John Archibald Wheeler, one of America's greatest physicists.During his distinguished career, Dr. Wheeler collaborated with scientists such as Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr on projects that changed the course of history. His early work with Bohr on how nuclei split apart, his vision of the possibilities of Einstein's curved space, and his work on quantum theory demonstrated his innovation and brilliance. And he will always be remembered for giving the phenomenon of "black holes" its name.Dr. Wheeler was also a great teacher who understood that educating young minds would be one of his most significant contributions. As a professor at Princeton University and the University of Texas-Austin, Dr. Wheeler inspired generations of students such as the late Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to transform their curiosity into scientific discoveries.Today our thoughts and...

Four Wheeler Magazine reviews the Lexus LX 570
2008-04-10 09:55:00 Four Wheeler magazine recently tested the Lexus LX 570, and it’s an interesting read for anyone thinking about the LX as more than just a giant on-road cruiser: The really big news, however, can be found beneath the framerails, where an all-new independent A-arm front/four-link rear suspension system utilizes Lexus-exclusive computer-managed hydraulics to lift and lower the vehicle as much as 3 inches on demand…and to re-tune spring rates and shock damping on the fly…The new system is said to reduce body lean by as much as 30 percent at road speeds via diagonally linked shock chambers…the new suspension struck us as far more responsive, and much quicker to react, to undulating terrain at trail speeds than the older (and still quite good) electromechanical Kinetic Dynamic system it replaces. Despite our best efforts to cross up the new LX on some steep and deep-rutted two-tracks, it was much more difficult for us to lift a tire off the ground than we would...

Rays Notes: Crawford, Baldelli, Wheeler
2008-04-01 17:10:00 Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times has the latest on the Rays' moves today. The first two were expected. Carl Crawford's $8.25MM option for '09 was exercised. The Rays still have a $10MM club option for '10 that is highly likely to be exercised. After that, it's anyone's guess. The Rays chose Rocco Baldelli's $4MM buyout over his $6MM option. It's a sad situation but it had to be done. Dan Wheeler was signed to an extension. His '08 contract was replaced; the new three-year deal runs through 2010 and is worth $10.5MM. He would've been a free agent after the season; think of it as a two-year, $6.7MM extension. It's not a bargain for the 30 year-old, whose 5.30 ERA in '07 was worse than his 3.5 K/BB would indicate. He'll need to return to his 2005-06 level to be worth the money.

Triciclo Pompéo - ethanol powered three-wheeler made for Brazil
2008-03-25 21:30:00 Click on the image above for more shots of the PompéoThere are plenty of people who would love to have the fuel mileage of a 250cc motorcycle, but choose not to ride one because of the inherent safety problems and the lack of weather protection. Brazilian company Triciclo thinks that they have the answer to this issue, and it's called the Pompéo. Using a small motorcycle engine which is capable of running on either gasoline or ethanol (important for the Brazilian market), the Pompéo is said to have decent performance due to its low weight. Also important is the fact that the machine - which looks kind of like the front half of a car - is fully enclosed, meaning that the occupants will stay dry no matter what the weather outside. Seat belts provide a measure of safety lacking from the typical motorcycle, although in some countries it will be classed as such regardless. Finally, the cost is said to be in-line with a 400cc motorcycle, meaning the Pompéo should be q...

Brad Pitt and Son Pax Spend New Year’s Eve Day on a Four-Wheeler
2008-01-02 17:27:00 brought by www.thequeerofallmedia.com Brad Pitt takes his son Pax to the Make It Right Development site in New Orleans on December 31, 2007.Tsui/Turner/Splash News Brad Pitt spent the afternoon of New Year’s Eve playing with his 4-year-old son, Pax, in New Orleans. Riding in an E-Z GO ST 4×4 Honda Powered Utility Cart, the pair popped by the construction site for Pitt’s “Make it Right” foundation, which aims to build 150 environmentally friendly homes in the city’s still recovering Lower Ninth Ward. They also rode on a forklift. Afterward, they hit a convenience store, where Pitt — who just celebrated his 44th birthday — picked up a 16 oz. coffee and M&Ms for his son. Maddox and Zahara have also been snacking on junk food: On Christmas eve, they ate McDonalds. Shiloh recently snacked on Lay’s potato chips source

--=[ Caron Wheeler ]=--
2007-12-27 19:29:00 Caron Wheeler - Uk Blak [1990]Caron Wheeler showed a great deal of promise when she was with Soul II Soul, but the earthy diva made it especially obvious just how much depth she was capable of when she launched her solo career with the individualistic U.K. Blak. Like albums by other British R&B and dance music acts of the late '80s and early '90s -- including Soul II Soul, the Chimes and Lisa Stansfield -- this sleek yet gritty album contains up-to-date (by 1990 standards) hip-hop elements, yet draws heavily on soul music's rich gospel heritage. The fact that U.K. Blak has so much more warmth and substance than most of the formulaic '90s R&B recorded on this side of the Atlantic is evident on riveting neosoul ("neo" for 1990) treasures ranging from "Blue (Is the Colour of Pain)" and the moving "Livin' in the Light" to the haunting and introspective a cappella number "Somewhere." Reggae has been long enjoyed tremendous popularity in the Afro-British community, and Wheele...

Former Homicide Detective Rod Wheeler on Hannity & Colmes Tonight: "Anyone
2007-09-21 06:50:00 "Anyone listening to John Kerry should be tasered" - that "joke" from a former homicide detective, one Rod Wheeler, who Fox News chose to have as a guest on Hannity and Colmes tonight.Wheeler said a lot more - that Andrew Meyer clearly deserved to be tasered, that he was clearly threatening the police who were escorting him away from the microphone - even though the videos of the event clearly show otherwise.But Wheeler is entitled to his erroneous opinion of what happened.He's of course also entitled to his misguided sense of humor. I guess we should at least be happy that someone with his values is a former rather than a current homicide detective.But where was Sean Hannity's outrage or even disagreement with his guest for taking such a tasteless shot at John Kerry's supporters, at a time in which tasering and politics and freedom of speech have become sadly intertwined?Now, more than ever, we need candidates like Ron Paul who respect both the First Amendment and the necessar...
