It is still unclear exactly who will be sitting in the U.S. Senate. Many question whether democrats will accept scandalous Gov. Rod Blagojevich's pick and Minnesota's recount is expected to end soon.

O.C. Welch Ford/Lincoln/Mercury in Hardeeville, SC has been going through rough times, and President OC Welch decided that something had to be done. He put out five different radio spots on the airwaves recently, and some of the content from the ads are getting some attention.

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - They don't call it a bailout, but the big three could be getting a big loan.

One prominent local car dealer is fuming and took his frustrations to the radio airwaves.

It's causing some controversy. The man in the middle: OC Welch. Welch says business is picking back up, but he's not expecting his new ads to make any new customers.

Saturday, five radio spots began running. One is titled, "Wake Up America."

"One thing I wanna ask you, with those Japanese cars. Even when they are brand new, how come they don't smell like a new car? They are rice ready, not road ready," Welch says in the commercial.

"I don't think it's going too far. It's reality and I think we need a reality check," Welch told WTOC today.

Welch has no apologies for his latest radio ads. "Right now, it's running a 96 percent approval rate," he said.

He says December sales have finally improved. "Past months have been horrible. It's been a horrible year," Welch said.

If his radio commercials are any indication, OC's still in a bad mood.

"All you people who buy Toyota and send your money to Japan. When you don't have a job and can't make a payment, don't come crying to me," Welch says in, "Wake Up America."

"I'm just really sick of our government, what is happening in Washington," Welch said.

Of the five new commercials running through the end of the year, two of them focus on selling 200 more vehicles for a "Big Check" from Ford. Another offers "Three Things" the government can do to really help the auto industry.

"I think the government should have tax incentives for people to go out and spend money, whether at a mall or car dealership," Welch said.

He says of the big three, Ford is doing the best. His ad, "Cigar Box," even says so.

"You call me up. You know who this is. I'll be your huckleberry. No big deal," Welch says in the ad.

However, the big three are still calling on Washington for help. Today, Congressman Jack Kingston told WTOC help is on the way.

"It will probably be a $15 billion loan, a bridge loan, to get them to the next year and then take another look at it," Kingston said.

"It's not going to make people buy cars," Welch said. "Until people have a reason to buy vehicles that's just a band-aid."

Welch says the loan wouldn't have saved any car dealerships and won't stop more from closing. "If we don't order vehicles, it's not going to help. Until we can start selling vehicles, then there is no need to order anymore," he says.

His radio ads however, will continue to run. Welch even welcomes negative responses to them. "That's fine with me. I'll help them write it. Mail it in. Whatever," he said.

As long as he gets his message across.

"When will you Wal-mart shoppers, you import buyers, when are you gonna wake up and do something for the United States of America," Welch asks in "Wake Up America."

"It's a little bit out there, but we are at a point where we need to be out there. This is our country. This is the USA. We need to act like it is," Welch said.

Kingston says Congress could vote on the big three loan possibly tomorrow or Wednesday. He says the loan should include clauses and stipulations, an oversight board and rules for what they can and can't use money for.

Welch just shakes his head at the whole thing. He says inventory has helped spike his business, but also helping is the fact other dealers are out of business. Those customers are coming to him.

BREAKING NEWS--NEW NIST ANALYSIS ACKNOWLEDGES FREEFALL FOR WTC7. See
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0GHVEKrhng
--------------------------------
NIST has reversed its earlier denial of freefall and acknowledged a period of freefall comparable to this analysis in their final report on WTC7 released in November 2008. They did their own measurement with a point near the center of the roof line and came up with an acceleration of 9.81 for approximately 2.25 sec. Their report did not, however, face the consequences of this acknowledgment: that ALL RESISTANCE was instantaneously removed across the width of the building, supporting pre-planted explosives as the cause of the collapse.
-----------------------------------
(Original comment comments follow)
-----------------------------------
Contrary to the August 2008 NIST report on WTC7, the acceleration of Building 7 is measured and is found to be indistinguishable from the acceleration of gravity over a period of about 2.5 seconds of fall.

During the first round of questions in the Aug 26, 2008 NIST Technical Briefing (at 1:01:45 into the presentation) the following question was asked by David Chandler:

"Any number of competent measurements using a variety of methods indicate the northwest corner of WTC 7 fell with an acceleration within a few percent of the acceleration of gravity. Yet your report contradicts this, claiming 40% slower than freefall based on a single data point. How can such a public, visible, easily measurable quantity be set aside?"


Dr. Shyam Sunder replies:

"Could you repeat the question?"

[the question is repeated by the moderator, leaving out the word, "competent" as well as the last sentence]

"Well...um...the...first of all gravity...um...gravity is the loading function that applies to the structure...um...at...um...applies....to every body...every...uh...on...all bodies on...ah...on...um... this particular...on this planet not just...um...uh...in ground zero...um...the...uh...the analysis shows a difference in time between a free fall time, a free fall time would be an object that has no...uh... structural components below it. And if you look at the analysis of the video it shows that the time it takes for the...17...uh...for the roof line of the video to collapse down the 17 floors that you can actually see in the video below which you can't see anything in the video is about...uh... 3.9 seconds. What the analysis shows...and...uh...the structural analysis shows, the collapse analysis shows that same time that it took for the structural model to come down from the roof line all the way for those 17 floors to disappear is...um... 5.4 seconds. It's...uh..., about one point...uh...five seconds or roughly 40% more time for that free fall to happen. And that is not at all unusual because there was structural resistance that was provided in this particular case. And you had...you had a sequence of structural failures that had to take place and everything was not instantaneous."
--------

Note that:
--He acknowledges that freefall can only occur if there is no structure under the falling section of the building.
--He acknowledges that their structural modeling predicts a fall slower than freefall.
--He acknowledges that there was structural resistance in this particular case.
--He acknowledges that there was a sequence of failures that had to take place and that this process was not instantaneous.

Thus, he acknowledges that their model is at variance with the observable fact that freefall actually occurred. Their response is to hold to their model, deny that freefall occurred, and put up a smokescreen of irrelevant measurements that obscure the reality.

National Public Radio: "This is a program that has some very vocal critics. They say Teenscreen usurps parental authority, sends kids to therapy who might not need it and they say the program encourages families to put adolescents on antidepressant drugs."

Local public schools have resisted TeenScreen. San Francisco Unified School District, for example, passed on TeenScreen because it can generate false positives and drain counseling resources, said spokeswoman Gentle Blythe.

The Washington Post

"By and large, brief diagnostic tests -- especially doing broad screening in children -- are not well validated, and one has to be concerned about missing real illness or, conversely, interpreting transient life troubles as a mental illness requiring intervention... if your instrument is poor, or you don't know how to intervene to prevent a condition like suicide, there is actually a risk of harm. Besides cost and intrusiveness, there is a risk of harm in terms of stigmatization, but also interventions that backfire."

"Moreover, the test has a disorder label for the most ordinary of behaviors, having technical terms for simple laziness and arguing with parents, both qualities that most children and young adults have experienced at some point."

A history of giving the test to some students without parental permission, has put TeenScreen in the hot seat. Friday, a lawsuit outlining these complaints was filed in federal court in the Northern District of Indiana in South Bend by a Northern Indiana couple and their 16-year-old daughter. They charge that the test violates parental and child rights at federal and Indiana levels and invades privacy.
