In a recent study done by J.D. Power and Associates, Buick is tied with Jaguar for the top spot in dependability. But I don't care about Jaguar cause they're not American owned anymore since Ford sold it in 2007, and nobody ever said Jags weren't nice cars to begin with. I was surprised that Buick was even on the list.
Jamie Hresko, GM's vice president of quality, said the win for Buick is a win for GM overall because the company has duplicated the lessons from Buick in all new models. ''I think we still struggle with the perception, that the perception of our product is substandard,'' he said. ''If we continue to attack the markets that we consider will be high volume, which is markets like the Chevrolet Malibu, and we can sell a few hundred thousand of them, the reputation will spread.''
His comment about perception is right on, but if they keep winning awards it won't take long for that to change. As American cars, not just GM cars, continue to make consumers aware that their cars are catching up and passing imports in quality, Americans will start to get over their love affair with foreign cars. It's a sadly true cliche', but what's good for GM is good for America.

Healthy Girls Become Strong Women
LOGAN, Utah—Cache Valley Community Health Center, 550 E. 1400 N. will host a health education program, designed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, targeted for parents and caregivers of adolescents. BodyWorks will be taught every Tuesday at 7 p.m. and will provide tools needed to improve family eating and activity habits.
The program is free to the public and taught by two USU students, Lindsey Shipley and Lance Christiansen, majoring in exercise science. The program provides a non-threatening atmosphere to learn more about how families can live healthier lifestyles. “We want to create an open forum for discussion and sharing with our BodyWorks program,” said Lindsey Shipley, BodyWorks instructor. “I’m excited to be part of this and give back what I can to the community.”
BodyWorks is a program designed to help parents and caregivers of adolescent girls and boys improve family eating and activity habits. The Toolkit includes a video on healthy shopping and cooking strategies, a recipe book, and food and fitness journals. Using the BodyWorks Toolkit, the program focuses on parents as role models and provides them with hands-on tools to make small, specific behavior changes to prevent obesity and help maintain a healthy weight. The BodyWorks program uses a train-the-trainer model to distribute the Toolkit through community-based organizations, state health agencies, non-profit organizations, health clinics, hospitals and health care systems.
For more information contact Lindsey Shipley or the Cache Valley Community Health Center at 435-752-7060.

Investors Teaching Investors in Cache Valley
Education Mitigates Risk
Dear Brent Davis,
I have recently learned of an on-going event here in the Valley that would be great for the business section of the newspaper. Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) is a non-profit organization that holds meetings every other Thursday providing local investors with valuable investing information. It is an opportunity open to anyone interested in learning more.
Three things are needed for successful investing: moderate amount of money, time, and experience. CVAIA helps investors and those interested in investing gain experience and recognize opportunity. This is all done in a non-threatening environment that benefits all who attend.
If people learn the right mentality and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire. People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income. Passive Income largely makes this possible. Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income. CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange. They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret. CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life. The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.
Please contact me for interviews or with questions. I’ll be at the meeting this Thursday if you would like to attend.
Sincerely

It's laughable the way Facebook is trying to back pedal out of their Terms of Service changes. They tried to sneak in a clause that would essentially give Facebook the rights to anything put on the site by users, indefinitely. That means they would have, for free, huge amounts of information about 175 million people. Some have stipulated that the information would be used to sell to marketers and advertisers. "It's not about them owning your content," said Ben Kunz, director of strategic planning for digital media consultancy Mediassociates. "They don't want to own your baby pictures. The most valuable thing they're creating is information about potential customers" that could be sold to marketers, he notes (www.moneycentral.msn.com). Facebook tried the same thing in 2007 by trying to share users information with advertisers. New Facebook groups have been created to protest this move and one has over 95,000 users in the group. I can't imagine what was said in the meeting where they decided to go forward with this idea that convinced the owners (or whoever made this decision) that it would be beneficial. They should have seen this type of public reaction coming a mile away; but to their detriment they did not.
