SAN DIEGO, CA, November 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) California lemon law attorney Michael R. Vachon, Esq. has filed a lawsuit in the California Superior Court for the County of San Diego alleging that Mossy Automotive Group, Inc. (a San Diego, California car dealership that operates under the name "Mossy Toyota") has an illegal practice of inserting double charges into vehicle lease contracts. The lawsuit alleges that this practice amounts to common law fraud, and violates California's consumer protection statutes. The lawsuit also alleges violations of the California lemon law. The Plaintiff seeks monetary damages and an injunction. The case is titled Massaro v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., et al., San Diego Superior Court Case No. 37-2011-00099236 (Hall of Justice Courthouse).
The lawsuit 's complaints against Mossy Toyota allege that on June 11, 2011 Mr. Massaro (a San Diego, California resident) went to Mossy Toyota, and while there agreed to lease a 2011 Toyota Tundra. It further alleges that Mossy Toyota then prepared the lease documentation utilizing a standard form motor vehicle lease agreement that was complicated and difficult for laypersons to understand. Most importantly, the lawsuit also alleges that, unknown to Mr. Massaro, his lease contract contained two charges each for the California Tire Fee and Optional DMV Electronic Filing Fee. In other words, the lawsuit alleges that while the total for these two charges should have been $37.75, Mr. Massaro actually paid $75.50 because he was "double charged" for each of these items. The lawsuit further alleges that Mr. Massaro is not the only victim of this double-charging, and that Mossy Toyota has an illegal practice of inserting these types of double charges into vehicle lease contracts. Although this alleged practice does not violate the California lemon law's rules, Mr. Massaro, through his attorney California lemon law lawyer Michael R. Vachon, Esq. alleges that it amounts to fraud and violates California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act. The lawsuit also alleges that Mossy Toyota breached the California lemon law's implied warranty of merchantability by selling him a vehicle with structural damage to the driver's side door.
Finally, the lawsuit asserts a traditional California lemon law claim against Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., alleging that the Toyota Tundra is a sour, yellow lemon because it suffers from defects that Toyota was unable to repair within a reasonable number of attempts, thereby entitling Mr. Massaro to a California lemon law buyback. The lemon law cause of action further requests a civil penalty based on allegations that Toyota willfully violated the California lemon law's requirements.

Astronomers find that galaxies are the ultimate recyclers
2011-11-22
A team of researchers from several universities and institutions, including University of Notre Dame physics faculty Chris Howk and Nicolas Lehner, has demonstrated how galaxies continue to form stars by recycling vast amounts of hydrogen gas and heavy elements across billions of years.
The researchers also identified large masses of previously undetected material surrounding galaxies, and described the large-scale flows of this gas. The results were published in three papers in the Nov. 18 edition of the journal Science.

Cancer vaccine impact limited unless drug industry focuses on difficult-to-treat tumors
2011-11-22
Drug companies currently developing therapeutic cancer vaccines may be determining the cancers they target based on the number of annual cases, not the number of deaths they cause.

American Diabetes Association's preferred testing method fails to identify kids with diabetes
2011-11-22
In 2009, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended that Hemoglobin A1c be exclusively used for the diagnosis of diabetes in children. The simple test measures longer-term blood sugar levels -- without requiring patients to fast overnight. However, a new U-M study has shown that these tests are not very accurate in children.
"We found that Hemoglobin A1c is not as reliable a test for identifying children with diabetes or children at high risk for diabetes compared with other tests in children," says Joyce M. Lee, M.D., M.P.H., lead author of the study and a ...
Human, artificial intelligence join forces to pinpoint fossil locations
2011-11-22
In 1991, a team led by Washington University in St. Louis paleoanthropologist Glenn Conroy, PhD, discovered the fossils of the first — and still the only — known pre-human ape ever found south of the equator in Africa after only 30 minutes of searching a limestone cave in Namibia.
Traditionally, fossil-hunters often could only make educated guesses as to where fossils lie. The rest lay with chance — finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.
"I don't want to say it's total luck," says Conroy, professor of physical anthropology in Arts & Sciences, "but it's a combination ...
