In a time and age when automobiles rule our daily routines to such a great extent, it is vital to know which cars we can depend on. This sounds as if it’s derived from a cheesy car ad, but it just might be true. Given the magnitude of the recent Toyota recall, is it wise to consider purchasing a Toyota in the future? Or has the crisis simply been overblown?

What is Google Wave?? -by Helen Yao
Google is ubiquitous. It has invaded our vocabulary (“Just Google it!”) and developed new software. Google makes our lives much easier.

What Shakes The World- Earthquake Relief in Haiti and Chile -by Helen Yao
On January 12, 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti, virtually destroying the capital of Port-au-Prince. A little more than a month later, on February 27, 2010, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake shook Chile. The effect of these quakes on the people of Haiti and Chile was simply devastating. The quake in Haiti may have taken more than 200,000 lives; in fact, President Rene Preval states that the number is still unknown. The numbers in Chile are not as devastating (about 700 deaths), but hundreds of people have died and millions have lost their homes. Relief in Haiti and Chile has been a welcome help, as people step in all around the world to aid the reconstruction of these two countries.

Life on the "Jersey Shore"-by Diana Yetman
Fist-pumping, drunken fights, and guidos galore. For the past couple of months there words would bring nothing else to mind except the popular MTV reality show, Jersey Shore. Snooki, Pauly D, Sammi “Sweetheart”, Mike “The Situation”, Ronnie, JWoww, and Angelina are the main characters, for those of you that have been living under a rock, and were hired to work at one of the many boardwalk t-shirt shops. Their boss allowed all of them to stay in his shore house for the remainder of the summer.

Jets Going to the Super Bowl!?!? -by Christopher Caputo
One month ago the chances of the Jets making it into the playoffs were impossible, they kept losing winnable games and were not even in the Wild Card contention. Luckily, due to all the teams the Jets needed to lose losing, and some tough teams they faced (like the Colts) sitting their starters, the Jets rolled into the playoffs. In the first round the Jets beat the Bengals in what basically was a blowout game. Now the Jets go to San Diego to play the tough Chargers; although the Jets are the underdogs I believe they do have the potential to go to the Super Bowl.
