2014 Jeep Cherokee Reviews and Ratings
Utility 4D Sport 2WD
I bought this certified pre-owned in July 2017. Here''s the list off things that has happened since I got it.
1. December 2017, transmission failure and full replacement.
2. June 2018, fuel tank sensor goes bad
3. July 2018, cruise control module goes bad
4, February 2019: Driving in the snow, 4WD engaged bur unresponsive at slow speed and plowed into a passing car. Airbags did not deploy. No injuries.
5. July 2019: Left front wheel falls off. Damage +/- $10K
The only issue we have had is that occasionally after coming to a complete stop, there is a slight hesitation (a second or so) to take off again. Doesn''t happen often and I think it has been resolved since the last update. Haven''t noticed it since then.
Expert Reviews
The 1984 Jeep Cherokee arguably invented the small SUV, and it ruled for 17 years until its slot was taken by the 2001 Jeep Liberty. Now it's back in the lineup. The 2014 Cherokee is new from the ground up, a redesign to knock your socks off. Cherokee looks cool again. And the base price is $400 less than the 2013 Liberty.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Called the Tigershark MultiAir 2 I-4, it makes 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque, with fuel mileage EPA-rated at 21/28 mpg City/Highway. We got 23.4 on the highway and winding mountain two-lanes.
The optional engine is a 3.2-liter Pentastar V6, making its debut in the Cherokee. It has many new features, some improving resource use, such as a disposable oil filter. It's derived from the 3.6-liter that's been one of Ward's 10 Best Engines for the last three years. It makes 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque and it's EPA-rated at 19/27 mpg City/Highway. We got 18.1 mpg in a 4×4 model. The advantage to the V6 is towing, rated to 4500 pounds (best in class says Jeep) versus 2000 pounds for the I4. For daily driving, we like the four-cylinder, it's smooth and powerful enough. However it's a tough call, because the V6 is only a couple mpg thirstier.
Both engines are aided by a new 9-speed automatic transmission, standard in all Cherokees. It's a compact marvel, raising the regular-car bar for tranny construction and packaging, not to mention the electronic and mechanical complexities of high-speed meshing of spinning steel gears. Our test drives revealed the shifts are smooth, while the programming is dominant even in manual mode. First gear is an aggressive 4.71:1 for low-end performance, while 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all overdrives for the highway, to increase fuel mileage and lower noise and vibration. Ninth gear is a super overdrive, at 0.48:1.
The off-road oriented Trailhawk will do amazing climbing and descending things, while looking too good to be able to do those things. Floods, blizzards, earthquakes, typhoons and the Outback are no worries mate. It breaks new ground with electronic descent control. With its tall 4.7:1 ratio for first gear, the crawl ratio of 56:1 is nearly as high as the Wrangler's.
There are three new 4WD systems introduced in the Cherokee: Active Drive I, with a one-speed Power Transfer Unit; Active Drive II with two-speed PTU and low range (it's towable); and Active Drive Lock with two-speed PTU, low range and locking rear differential. The basic Active Drive I is all-wheel drive, distributing some but not a lot of drive to the rear wheels when needed.
The Selec-Terrain traction control system has five modes: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud, and Rock. There's a new independent suspension to go with increased torsional rigidity in the frame. There are significant standard extras, like LED headlamps and daytime running lights, fold-flat front passenger seat with storage, and more.
As for looks, it sure doesn't get lost in the SUV crowd. Its designers delivered style and distinction while enhancing the iconic image. Other SUVs dream of looking like the new Cherokee. The Cherokee Latitude is less blingy than the Cherokee Limited. Trailhawk looks best because it's tough, with raised suspension, overfenders and painted tow hooks. It says Jeep the loudest.
The interior is stylish and utilitarian, both. Everything has a function, while being easy to reach and operate. Many knobs. Knobs are good. There's a lovely storage bin on the dashboard that can hold a laptop. There are clear digital gauges between the speedometer and tach, lit organic white. Navigation on the touch screen is easy to read, with basic buttons. We wish the radio had a dial.
The Latitude standard cloth seats are rugged and sporty, and fit just right. You're surrounded by the right stuff in the right places: leather armrest/grab handle, deep door pocket and center console, clean and responsive center stack, black vents, trim like brown titanium, stitched leather on the dash of the Limited.
Behind the front seat, there's a lot of room and convenience for passengers and cargo. The 40.3 inches of rear legroom is nearly 2 inches more than big brother Grand Cherokee, due mostly to seat height. The 60/40 rear seats fold flat in a heartbeat.
Behind the wheel, it feels tight. Smooth and solid with a firm ride. The four-cylinder has plenty of power for daily needs, and to cruise easily at freeway speeds. The V6 has a bit of engine noise, with kick-butt acceleration. The V6 handling is good but it's not as attached as the four. The ride is softer except for undulations, while speed bumps are gentler. The V6 just feels bigger.
At the introduction of the new Cherokee, we were given the opportunity for comparison spins in a Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape. The Cherokee turned them into vanilla. It looks and feels like an Alfa Romeo, compared to its competitors.
Jeep Cherokee comes in Sport, Latitude and Limited models, each with front-wheel drive or 4×4, plus the Trailhawk 4×4, with offroad capability that's off the chart.
Cherokee Sport ($22,995) and Sport 4×4 ($24,495) comes standard with non-ICS air conditioning, air filtering, cloth seats with manual height adjustment, cloth door trim, reclining and fore-aft adjusting 60/40 rear seat, power windows with driver's one-touch down, keyless entry, 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and media hub, LED taillamps and daytime running lights, halogen headlamps, electric parking brake, 17-inch steel wheels with all-season tires, black door handles and power mirrors.
Cherokee Latitude ($24,495) and Latitude 4×4 ($26,495) upgrades to air conditioning, power front windows with one-touch up and down, front passenger fold-flat seat with storage space, leather-wrapped steering wheel, LED interior lightning, body-colored door handles and mirrors, bright molding and roofrails, tinted glass, fog lamps, 17-inch aluminum wheels, 115-volt outlet.
Cherokee Limited ($27,995) and 4×4 ($29,995) upgrades with leather-trimmed heated seats, dual-zone climate control, premium air filter, leather-wrapped shift knob, vinyl door trim, auto headlamps, heated mirrors, brighter fascia, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, 8-way with lumbar power driver's seat, 7-inch color instrument cluster, 8.4-inch touchscreen audio, rear backup camera, remote engine start, cargo net.
Cherokee Trailhawk ($29,495) comes standard with Jeep's Active Drive Lock 4×4 system with low range and locking rear axle, Selec-Terrain drive mode selector, Selec-Speed Control with hill ascent control and hill descent control, offroad suspension with increased ride height, heavy-duty cooling system, transmission oil cooler, offroad front and rear fascias, fender flares, red tow hooks, skid plates, grille surrounds, roof rails, black moldings, 17-inch aluminum wheels with black painted pockets, all-terrain tires, full-size spare, exclusive cloth interior with red accent stitching. Trailhawk equipment levels are similar to those of Limited, though Trailhawk comes with seats trimmed in cloth, leather and vinyl.
Safety equipment standard on all models includes 10 airbags, electronic stability control and ABS. Optional safety features included ParkSense Parallel/Perpendicular Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus, Forward Collision Warning-Plus, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning-Plus; 9-1-1 assist call; ESC; Electronic Roll Mitigation; Blind-spot Monitoring; Rear Cross Path detection; ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic grid lines.
The all-new Cherokee doesn't get lost in the SUV crowd. It delivers style and distinction while clearly being a Jeep. Maybe best expressed by the grille, the seven Jeep slugs backed by eggcrate, one vertical piece with the aluminum hood, a unique design described by Jeep as waterfall. The hood has a hump as on a muscle car, made into a flat-black wedge on the Trailhawk. The slugs are bright chrome in every model but the Trailhawk, where the eggcrate is black, changing the car's presence. All around, the Trailhawk with its rugged touches (wheels, tires, fender flares, tow hooks) looks more Jeepish.
Other SUVs dream of looking like the new Cherokee. Sweet little slits that look like headlamps are actually LED daytime running lights with turn signals, while the projector headlamps rise in black fascia over the front bumper, like bugeyes. They're so small they look more like foglights, while the foglights themselves are even smaller, down at the bottom corners of the fascia, again eggcrate black on the Trailhawk.
The Latitude is less blingy than the Limited, and therefore better looking.
There are trapezoidal wheel arches, with sculpted sides leading back to where the Cherokee tries hard but struggles. There's a big fat horizontal concave in the liftgate, reducing the inherent slab but obscuring the Jeep identity. It could be a Kia. The 4×4 models have more black fascia in the rear, which tweaks some style out of the slab. Big LED horizontal taillamps extend into the glass with a top-heavy touch that's apparently aerodynamic.
Tight, comfortable, everything a function, easy to reach, stylish. They nailed it.
The Jeep Cherokee Latitude comes with cloth seats on the rugged and sporty, fit just right. Perforated leather seats in place of the cloth in the Limited. The excellent fat steering wheel makes you feel like you're in control. You're surrounded by the right stuff in the right places: leather armrest/grab handle, deep door pocket and center console, clean and responsive center stack, trim like brown titanium, black vents, stitched leather on the dash. And many knobs. Knobs are good. But not too many.
The knob for terrain has four positions: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud. There's an electronic parking brake, behind the shift lever. Cruise control and audio on the steering wheel. Big dead pedal.
Digital gauges between the speedometer and tach are clear, lit organic white, including a display for the transmission gear; it sure is strange to see a 9 there. Navigation on the touch screen is easy to read, with basic buttons. We wish the radio had a dial. There's a lovely storage bin on the dashboard that can hold a laptop.
The standard touch-screen is 5 inches, and the premium one is 8.4 inches. The rearview camera display is big and beautiful. Connectivity goes all the way, including wireless smartphone charging, internet radio, voice-command navigation, media hub with ports galore, and UConnect access that can do everything from call 911 to read incoming text messages to you.
We like the instrument panel's function more than its design. Jeep designers spent endless hours trying to make the dashboard fluid, like water, with lines like the wings of an osprey. It seems a bit foo-foo for a Jeep. That's what the Compass was supposed to be for.
The center stack is supposed to harken a '40s Jeep grille, and the vents are supposed to harken a skeleton. As for colors, it's a world tour. There are the colors of Mount Vesuvius, Kilimanjaro, the Grand Canyon, Iceland, and Morocco at night. Kilimanjaro inspired the cloth-and-leather Trailhawk interior. Jeep says the Masai tribe that lives there influenced the design (we didn't ask how). If your imagination runs with the designers, you'll see it. The hues are sweet.
Behind the front seat, there's a lot of room and convenience for passengers and cargo. The 60/40 rear seats fold flat in a heartbeat. The 40.3 inches of rear legroom is nearly 2 inches more than big brother Grand Cherokee has, because the Cherokee's rear seat is higher. The SAE standard for rear legroom measures hip to ankle, as part of the equation to determine the total in inches.
The power liftgate can be opened with the remote or pressing the electronic latch button, which is right where you expect it to be. To close the liftgate there's a button inside that's conveniently located but hard to see. Slide out your cargo and press it, it's right there. At night, however, we groped around trying to find it because it is not lighted. Pressing the remote also closes it, of course. The cargo cover gets in the way at times with its big flap.
The first thing we noticed when we drove the Jeep Cherokee is how tight it is, smooth and solid with a firm ride. The steering is precise for an SUV, using a steering wheel that's satisfying in its shape and function. The steering column made a bit of noise when we turned the wheel on at least one model, however.
We got good seat time in both the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and the 3.2-liter V6, with their new 9-speed automatic transmission. You read that right, 9 speeds, squeezed into a box of gears not much bigger than a breadbox. Bold engineering by Chrysler, where good things are happening. We don't mean to write ad slogans, but it's true.
The V6 we drove wasn't much smoother than the four. The four-cylinder has plenty of power for daily needs, and to cruise easily at freeway speeds. The V6 is for people who like more acceleration performance, or who tow. The four-cylinder is rated to tow 2000 pounds, the V6 with tow package a class-leading 4500 pounds. If you don't tow often, the four-cylinder will be fine. The 9-speed gearbox will help. It will be busy.
During a day-long drive over varied terrain of freeways, winding two-lanes, mountains and off-road, we watched the transmission do its thing. Theoretically, a 9-speed transmission would shift almost twice as much as a 5-speed; but not in this case because the ratio of 5th gear is 1.00:1. So 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th are all overdrives, to reduce rpm's at highway speeds and increase fuel mileage. With drive ratios of .81, .70, .58 and .48, there's very little rev change with each shift, so you don't often feel more than five gears.
Shifting function is especially important in the Cherokee because in the Manual mode you've got those 9 speeds to play with (overdrive notwithstanding). But after you're in 5th gear, you might as well go back to Auto. Except in Auto, it almost never gets up to 9th on its own. Overall in Manual mode, it shifts a lot on its own, including casual upshifts at 2500 rpm.
There are more than 40 shift maps for conditions and forces that software detects, meaning that there's only a 1-in-40 chance that whatever we say about when it shifts will be correct. It's going to shift a lot. We didn't find it intrusive.
Like them all, it's programmed to shift based on data from sensors trying to read the road conditions and your pace and style. It seems not unlike Google noting your surfing and sending the info to advertisers who try to give (sell) you what you want, on your screen. If you think that invades your privacy, wait until government takes over the black box that records your every move behind the wheel.
The other thing with the new 9-speed is reliability, and time will tell. The transmission has four gear sets and six shift elements, including multi-disc clutches, dog clutches and brakes. Just more parts to break, the off-road old-timers with 4-speeds would say.
With the four-cylinder, having less torque than the V6, the transmission kicks down more, however the Sport mode in 4×4 Selec-Terrain, keeps it in the gears longer. We got 22.3 miles per gallon on the winding roads and freeway; it's EPA rated at 21/28 mpg City/Highway with 4×4. In the V6 the mileage dropped to 18.1 mpg; it's rated at 19/27 mpg.
After driving the smooth four-cylinder Latitude, we expected the V6 Limited to be super smooth, but there's some engine noise. But put your foot down and it flies, it's fast. The handling is good but it's not as attached as the four. The electric power rack and pinion steering ratio is the same, but the V6 steering is lighter. And the ride is softer and smoother; it doesn't take undulations as well as the Latitude, but speed bumps are gentler. The V6 feels bigger because it handles heavier due to the weight of the engine, true of all but the most carefully balanced and sophisticatedly suspended cars, none of them SUVs.
But the knockout punch with any Jeep is off-road capability. We spent a few hours facing off-road challenges in a Trailhawk. It breaks new ground, in particular in descent control. It will do amazing things. For some of those things it doesn't need or want your feet to be involved, to screw things up. It will climb up rocks and back down with your feet in the air; the driver just steers, and the machine takes itself down over treacherous terrain perfectly, safely. The descent advancement is that the driver can control the speed in .2-mph increments. That's way better than before.
The transmission uses a numerically high 4.7:1 ratio for first gear, for quicker standing-start acceleration. Coupled with the 4.08:1 final drive with the I4 (3.52:1 in the V6), and the Active Drive II or Active Drive Lock, that delivers a crawl ratio of 56:1, nearly as high as that of the Jeep Wrangler.
Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to test the traction of basic Active Drive I. Just because the Trailhawk with Active Drive Lock has offroad capability beyond real-world needs, it doesn't mean that Active Drive I will keep you moving in two feet of snow, sand or mud. However there are modes for those conditions in Selec-Terrain, and it is a Jeep, so we have faith.
At the introduction of the new Cherokee, we were given the opportunity for comparison spins in a Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape. Cherokee blew them out of the water. Compared to the Cherokee, the Escape is more nimble but has a mere 5-speed; the RAV4 has no feel and its transmission intrudes; the CR-V is boring and it labors.
The Cherokee claims the categories that matter, for example character, spirit and looks. It has a personality: decisive. Compared to the others it feels like an Alfa Romeo.
The redesigned Jeep Cherokee is a winner on many fronts, especially exterior and interior design, and character. The smooth four-cylinder works for all but big towing. The new 9-speed transmission is smooth but time will tell on reliability. Fuel mileage could be better. The Trailhawk is in an offroad class of its own.

Lois Lerner, the Internal Revenue Service official at the center of the storm over the agency's targeting of conservative political groups, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination Wednesday and declined to testify at a House hearing on the matter.
Why did she do that?
Many on the right assume she did so because she is covering up criminal activity. Twitter was aflame with comments noting that she is a registered Democrat and should be fired.
"So, Lois Lerner is either a coward or a criminal, right? Tell me where I'm wrong," tweeted conservative commentator S.E. Cupp shortly after Ms. Lerner declined to answer lawmakers' questions.
Lerner, however, denies she did anything wrong. In brief comments before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee prior to her invocation of the Fifth, she said, "I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other committee," said Lerner.
The committee chairman, Rep. Darryl Issa (R) of California, said she was entitled to exercise her right to refuse to speak.
"There can be no question that we have to respect it. Additionally, her assertion is not to be viewed or used during this hearing to make any determination plus or minus as to actions that were taken," Representative Issa said.
Lerner's particular problem is that committee members and others have questions about her past statements as to when she found out about the IRS targeting of key words such as "tea party" when investigating the tax exempt status of 501(c)(4) organizations.
Earlier this month she told journalists she had learned of the practice from news reports in early 2012. But according to the just-released Inspector General report on the issue, Lerner, head of the IRS division on tax-exempt organizations, found out her employees were targeting conservative groups in June, 2011.
She ordered the targeting to stop, but it gradually returned with slightly broader key word searches. Members want to know why it wasn't killed immediately.
Oversight panel members also want to know whether she misled congressional investigators about her knowledge of the targeting.
Staff members of the Issa-led panel talked with Lerner and other IRS officials in 2012 following complaints from some conservative organizations that they were having trouble with the IRS. At the time Lerner did not mention the targeting. Nor did she talk about it with staff members of a House Ways and Means subcommittee who were looking at the same issue and who questioned her early last year.
Earlier this week Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler gave Lerner's public comments on IRS targeting four Pinocchios, saying they were full of "misstatements" and "weasely wording."
Given the contradictions between her words and the public record, it's perhaps not surprising that Lerner declined to discuss the issue in the televised glare of a politically-charged hearing.
So why does she still have an IRS job? It might be because it's not easy to fire her, or most other government workers that don't fill a politically-appointed job.
As David Nather and Rachel Bade note at Politico, "Most employees involved in the targeting program are covered by protections for federal workers that could drag out the termination process."
If the Obama administration decides it needs to ditch Lerner, its best chance might be to just ask her to resign and see if she goes along. The outgoing acting director of the agency, Steven Miller, was a career official who could have dug in if he'd wanted to. But when Treasury Secretary Jack Lew asked him to quit, he did.

(Patients' Choice Award: 2008) "Dr. Greenberg has seen me through diabetes, high blood pressure , and amazing weight loss of 137 pounds. Without his constant encouragement, I don't believe I would have succeeded. I will always be grateful to him for his caring attitude and belief that I could do it. " "Dr. Greenberg is the best doctor I have ever seen. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 1993. I was so unhealthy. I had seen at least ten different doctors prior to Dr. Greenberg. None of the could provide me with relief. Dr. G listened to me and put me on a higher dose of synthroid. After a few weeks I was a different person, my hair was growing back. I felt more energy and more alert. I was well on my way to becoming a productive member of society, which I wasn't before. I will appreciate what he did for me forever. Keep your head up Dr. G. Your patients love you. " "Dr. Greenberg is the best doctor I ever had. he is attentive, never in a rush and listens to his patients. Dr. Greenberg also took care of my brother as his physician for many years. I sincerely wish the best for him." "I've been a patient of Dr Greenberg for many years. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful physician! Very knowledgeable, personal and kind. I was always able to get an appointment to see him on a very short time notice and he was so so helpful in cases of emergency! I've also sent to him my friend (she had pneumonia) who did not have any insurance and had very limited financial abilities --he was so prompt and helpful!!! And very kind! Dr Greenberg was a primary care physician of my son for many many years. I can truly say that he's saved my son's life. When my son told Dr Greenberg about his tiny lump in his muscle, Dr immediately sent him to the best orthopaedic doctor in the area -- in a week my son had a surgery at Georgetown hospital Cancer Center to remove the tumor(sarcoma)... My son is doing well now just because of the early detection of the tumor. Dr Greenberg is a real family doctor we are missing so much in our era of commercialism!" "I have a been a patient of Dr Eric Greenberg for many years. I found him to be an excellent doctor who, unlike many other doctors, takes his time to listen. He's very knowledgeable and always remembered my health issues no matter how much time elapsed since my last visit. He was compassionate and he seemed to truly care about his patients. We need more caring doctors like him, who show compassion and the human element which most times is absent in doctors." "Dr. Greenberg has been a very good doctor for me. He is very smart and knowledgeable (he's amazed me with the depth of his knowledge). I thought Dr. Greenberg was a superb doctor. He was thorough, attentive and generally 'spot on' in his diagnosis. Great sense of humor to boot." "He has been a very good doctor for me over the years. Unlike other doctors, he is very thorough and spends a lot of time with you." "Dr. Greenberg is a good doctor, very responsive, but you need to be patient waiting for service because he spends a lot of time with each patient." " Doc G is a good guy. He is smart, caring, understanding and just an overall good guy. He is difficult to understand but is a genius. I have been to a few docs in my days, but he is quick, efficient, and to the point. But if you want to chat you can." "Dr. Greenberg is the most talented diagnostician and competent physician I have ever seen. He is charming and has a great sense of humor." "After being to at least ten doctors for a thyroid condition, I finally received permanent positive results from Dr. Greenberg. He really listens to you. He's a little hard to understand but believe me he is worth the trip. I'll never go to any other doctor again." "Knows what he is doing. Think of him as a real Dr.House." "This is a very good doctor. He is by far the best doctor ever and is very intelligent!" "Dr. Greenberg is an excellent listener and a fine physician; kind, pleasant, knowledgeable." Overall Opinion of Dr. Eric Greenberg By Vitals.com - Dec 24, 2009 When asked to provide an overall rating on Dr. Eric Greenberg in seven areas of care and service, Vitals users responded on average with an rating of "Excellent".

fold is really nifty command line utility to make a text file word wrap. This is useful for large number of text files processing. There is no need to write a perl / python code or use a word processor.
fold command syntax
fold -sw {COUNT} {input.txt} > {output.txt}
Wrap input lines in each input.txt, writing to standard output.txt.
- -s: break at spaces
- -w: {COUNT} use COUN} as WIDTH columns instead of default 80.
For example, following command will wrap input.txt at 60 width columns:
$ fold -sw 60 input.txt > output.txt
A large number of files can be processed using for shell loop:
for i in *.txt do fold -sw 65 $i > $i.output done

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and I want to urge women to check in with their healthcare providers and talk about getting a pap test. Through routine pap tests, women can find out if they have any abnormal cervical cells. It's very rare that there are any signs or symptoms of cervical cancer, so a pap test is the best of line of defense. When it's found early, more than 92 percent of women survive cervical cancer.
I can't stress enough how important it is to take the easiest route by getting a pap test. Once a woman gets screened, then she knows. It gives her peace of mind to have information. And when a woman gets screened can be just as important as what she finds out. If she does need treatment, it's so much easier to address it when there may be the first signs of abnormal cells.
All insurance plans are now required to cover women's preventive health services, like pap tests, without any co-pays. But it's still important that a woman has a conversation with her healthcare provider about getting the pap test.
For women between the ages of 40 and 64 who have no or little health insurance and meet income requirements, the Women's Wellness Connection can be an option to get a free cervical cancer screening. The process is simple. Women can call the local number at 970-356-5059 or go to http://www.womenswellnessconnection.org to find the closest clinic and be connected immediately to get a free screening.
So please, I urge women to take this opportunity and make a special effort to check in with their healthcare providers and talk about getting a pap test today.

LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hit out on Wednesday at a Hollywood film about his secret-spilling website, calling the movie "a massive propaganda attack".
Speaking to students at Britain's prestigious Oxford University by videolink from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, Assange revealed that he had acquired a copy of the script for "The Fifth Estate", due to be released in November.
"It is a lie upon lie. The movie is a massive propaganda attack on WikiLeaks and the character of my staff," the Australian Internet activist told the audience at the university's Oxford Union debating club.
Assange, 41, also blasted the movie for "fanning the flames" of war against Iran by implying that the Islamic republic was working on a nuclear bomb.
Reading from the script, he said the opening scene was set inside a military complex in Iran with documents containing nuclear symbols.
"How does this have anything to do with us?" Assange said from the embassy, where he has been holed up since June after claiming asylum in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sex crimes.
DreamWorks Studios announced on Tuesday that it had begun shooting the WikiLeaks movie, which stars British actor Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange.
A photo released by the company showed Cumberbatch with lank hair dyed the same platinum shade as the WikiLeaks founder's, with German actor Daniel Bruehl standing beside him as former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg.
"'The Fifth Estate' traces the heady, early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks," DreamWorks said, adding that the movie would open in the United States on November 15.
Director Bill Condon, who directed the final two instalments in the "Twilight" vampire saga, said the movie "won't claim any long view authority on its subject, or attempt any final judgement".
"We want to explore the complexities and challenges of transparency in the information age and, we hope, enliven and enrich the conversations WikiLeaks has already provoked," he said.
Ecuador granted asylum to Assange in August but Britain refuses to grant him safe passage out of the country, leaving the former computer hacker stuck inside the embassy.
Britain says it is obliged to see Assange extradited to Sweden. Assange denies the sex crime allegations, which he says are a politically-motivated attempt to see him sent to the United States and prosecuted.
WikiLeaks enraged the United States in 2010 by publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a huge cache of US diplomatic cables that embarrassed governments worldwide.

2012 Hospice du Rhone Seminar – A Collective Quest: Le Vins de Vienne
How about an armchair trip to the Rhône Valley? Well, beginning with a 10-minute primer on the Rhône Valley and its communes, this seminar from the 2012 Hospice du Rhône continues on to hear from each of the three vignerons behind a joint project called Les Vins de Vienne.
It all began in Vienne, a commune in south-eastern France, located on the Rhône River, 20 miles south of Lyon. The region was originally planted to grapes by the Romans over 2,000 years ago. Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard dreamt of reviving an old vineyard in Seyssuel, a small town in the area. The three already had their own well-known and highly respected individual projects which gave them a claim to fame as recent pioneers of the "renaissance" of the 1980s in the Rhône Valley. As you listen to each of them, you have to admire their collective fortitude, as this also quickly becomes a quick look at AOC rules and regulations ('don't do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign').
Join us as we hear from Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard in a seminar moderated by Jeb Dunnuck, whose great work with the Rhone Report recently led him to a chair at the Wine Advocate.

In 1996 the insurer set up Allianz Capital Partners to act as its in-house alternative investment platform. Since it started investing Allianz policyholder's money in renewable energy in 2005 it claims to have become one of the largest financial investors in the sector in the world.
All of the company's 50 renewable energy projects to date are in Germany, Italy, France and, most recently, Sweden. It has spent more than EUR 1.7 billion on projects with a capacity of more than 1GW.
But a potential change in direction comes in the form of a possible move into offshore wind. The company has already come close to investing in several offshore projects, said head of renewable energies for Allianz Capital Partners David Jones.
"We've done a lot of preparation work in terms of calculating the risk capital charge. We have looked at a couple of projects seriously, but not concluded any deals yet," he said.
So far, the company has been unable to find any developments that offer return on investment relative to onshore wind. Jones added that there needs to be a premium to account for the higher risk and cost of operation. But Allianz continues to consider projects in the UK and Germany on their individual merits.
Currently, the insurer holds 100% stakes in all of the 43 onshore wind projects that it has bought so far. This would likely be different with offshore projects where the company would not be willing to shoulder all of the risk and would seek out a partner in the form of an "established player" in the field.
The company's most recent acquisition was the operational 24MW Cottbuser See wind farm in Brandenburg, Germany. Also last year the company strayed into new territory with the purchase of the 72MW Maevaara wind farm in Sweden, its first project outside the eurozone.
All of the projects in Allianz's portfolio are under 100MW, with the typical investment in the EUR 30 million to 100 million range.
The concentration of the majority of the company's projects in Germany, Italy and France and, most recently, Sweden has not come about by chance, with Allianz largely looking for projects in established markets within the euro zone. Jones explains this with reference to the risk that a fluctuation in exchange rates can represent.
"As a liability investor we are investing insurance policyholders money. This is largely in euros, and our policyholders expect euro denominated returns. Because we make long-term investments we could not neglect the effect of currency fluctuations," he said.
Allianz's nature as a long-term investor, interested in income rather than capital gain, means that when it buys into a project, it intends to ride it out for the 20- to 25-year life of the development. "Unlike most funds our long-term focus means that we have no need for an exit or capital gain," said Jones.
2013 saw the company invest solely in wind projects at the expense of solar, and Jones doesn't see this changing this year. The insurer has previously invested in solar, but said that the risk return profile for solar projects is not significant enough.
He explained: "The risks in solar are generally lower. There are no moving parts to go wrong and operational costs are generally lower. Output is also much more steady and predictable and the returns reflect this.
"This was fine when returns for renewables were higher generally, but since we've seen these fall, it just means that they are now too low and wind is more attractive."
In choosing new projects, Allianz looks for those that are well on the road to completion, with well-developed contracts, real estate sorted and consenting making progress. "We're very heavy on due diligence. If everything isn't in place we're unlikely to go for a project," said Jones.
However, the company also picks up already commissioned projects that are less polished. He said: "With older projects which have problems with the turbines or with legal issues, we are willing to invest if we can bring them up to a good quality."
When it comes to turbines, Jones said that his team only go for "the premier league" manufacturers. None of their projects feature turbines from smaller manufacturers. Allianz also have little interest in Chinese manufacturers looking to branch out into the European market.
But even with the most established of manufacturers, he adds that Allianz will always consult technical advisors and put together an assessment of all turbines before entering into a deal.
Whether or not Allianz does overcome the obstacles and branch out into new markets or out to sea remains to be seen. But the company does seem committed to long-term investment in renewable projects that meet its own, specific requirements.

The Red Sox and Braves shared Fenway Park in 1914, with the "Miracle Braves" playing the latter part of their regular season at the ballpark before winning the World Series at Fenway Park in October. The ballpark also hosted plenty of amateur football and baseball, along with lacrosse, a field day attended by former President Theodore Roosevelt and a unique elephant show. Having purchased land on Brookline Avenue between Jersey Street and Lansdowne Street in 1913, New Hampshire Governor John Smith began to turn the property into a commercial building in 1914. Today, the structure, which was renamed the Jeano Building, is an important part of Fenway Park.
Record: 91-62, 2nd in American League
Manager: William F. Carrigan
Attendance: 481,359
In his first full season on the job, Bill Carrigan led the 1914 Red Sox to 91 wins, sloughing off the disappointment of the previous season to achieve a second-place finish (8 ½ games behind the Philadelphia Athletics).
A third major league, the Federal League, launched in time for the 1914 season and drove up salaries. Red Sox owner Joseph Lannin (who bought out the remaining holdings of the Taylor family on May 14 and thus became sole owner) invested heavily in player salaries and the Red Sox had the highest payroll in baseball.
The Red Sox drew well and no park in the league sold more seats than Fenway. The Red Sox offense wasnt nearly as good as it was in 1913 but their pitching dramatically improved, with a team ERA of 2.36. Hubert Dutch Leonard, 22, went 19-5 and his miniscule earned run average of 0.96 remains the lowest in the history of the modern-era in Major League Baseball. Teammate Rube Fosters 1.70 ERA was second in the league and at one point he threw 42 consecutive scoreless innings.
Tris Speaker came through with another strong season, leading the team in several offensive categories and starring on defense, with two of his patented unassisted double plays in 1914. Weighing less than 140 pounds, shortstop Everett Scott debuted on Opening Day. Despite his small stature, Scott went on to establish himself as the Iron Man of baseball, holding the record for most consecutive games played until Lou Gehrig broke his record in 1933.
With the Boston Braves winning the 1914 World Series at Fenway Park, and both Boston clubs leading their respective leagues in attendance, Boston truly was the hub of baseball in 1914.
Having bought a vacant lot at 70 Brookline Avenue (between modern-day Gates A and E) in January 1913, New Hampshire Governor John Smith began turning the space into a functional commercial area in 1914. Over time, various auto companies and media outlets have called this area home, including the New England Sports Network, which launched in 1984. Known today as the Jeano Building, this space currently houses many of the Red Sox offices and owes its name to longtime Red Sox Owner Tom Yawkey, whose Jeano Company (named after his wife, Jean) bought the 70 Brookline Avenue plot in 1955. Together, the Jeano Building, the Fenway plot the Taylor family bought in early 1911 and the Fenway Garage structure completed in 1913 comprise the three-part facility we know today as Fenway Park.
For the second time in three years, Fenway Park hosted the World Series. However, in 1914, it was the Braves and not the Red Sox who represented Boston. On August 3, 1914, Red Sox President Joseph Lannin sent a telegram to Braves President James Gaffney offering the use of Fenway Park (free of charge) in place of the smaller South End Grounds where the Braves played their home games. A month later, on September 3, Gaffney wired Lannin that the Braves would play their remaining home games at the American League park.
Though the Braves had used Fenway Park before, they officially called the ballpark home for the rest of the 1914 regular season, starting with a Labor Day doubleheader against the New York Giants on September 7. Two days later, in the second game of another doubleheader at Fenway Park, the Braves' George Davis pitched the first no-hitter in the ballpark's history, a 7-0 win over Philadelphia. The "Miracle Braves" went on to win the National League pennant and swept the 1914 World Series, winning Games Three and Four at Fenway Park.
In addition to the Braves, a few high school and college baseball teams were able to play at Fenway Park in 1914 and on August 17, a five-inning, rain-shortened game was played as part of a Progressive Party field day that was attended by former President Theodore Roosevelt.

Newspaper accounts estimated the crowd for the September 7 morning/afternoon doubleheader between the surging Boston Braves and John McGraw's New York Giants to be anywhere from 73,000 to 80,000 fans. The crowds began gathering on Lansdowne Street at 7:30 AM for the morning game, which was scheduled for 10 AM. Ticket scalpers made easy money hawking $1.00 grandstand tickets for $5.00 and $0.75 general admission tickets for $2.50. Once the stands were filled, the overflow crowd was allowed to spill onto the outfield and many more perched themselves at the base of Duffy's Cliff.
The throng's cheers could be heard on Beacon Hill and Boston Common as they roared at the pre-game antics of Braves shortstop and Springfield native Rabbit Maranville who entertained the capacity crowd by taking throws while sitting on the second base bag and throwing strikes home while remaining seated.
The Braves captured the first game in dramatic fashion, as Johnny Evers stroked a two-run double off Christy Mathewson to secure a 5-4 decision. The second game was a 10-1 Giants rout marred by the near riot precipitated by New York outfielder Fred Snodgrass, who thumbed his nose to both the Braves and the crowd after being hit by a Lefty Tyler pitch. The crowd reacted by pelting Snodgrass with a barrage of garbage. Amidst the chaos Boston Mayor James M. Curley, demanding that Snodgrass be ejected from the game, scampered onto the field and called for a police escort for the Giants' outfielder. Despite the disappointing loss in the second game, the Braves had done nothing less than capture both the heart and imagination of Boston in one dramatic day at Fenway Park.
After taking the first two games of the 1914 World Series from the heavily-favored Athletics in Philadelphia, the "Miracle Braves" returned to Fenway Park and took Game Three in a 12-inning thriller. Looking to close out the A's in Game Four, Braves captain Johnny Evers stroked a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth to break a 1-1 tie. Before a crowd that was slightly smaller than the Labor Day throng from a month earlier, the Braves held onto their 3-1 lead, sweeping Philadelphia in one of the greatest upsets in World Series history.
One of the largest crowds in Fenway Park's history came to the ballpark on June 6, 1914. However, they did not come to see the Red Sox. That morning, fifty thousand children and their parents filled the park to welcome three elephants that the children had purchased for the Franklin Park Zoo with money they had raised in increments mostly of pennies and small change. A little more than two months later, on August 17, 1914, former President Theodore Roosevelt visited Fenway Park to headline a Progressive Party field day, which included various events and competitions. Fenway Park also hosted several college and high school football games in 1914, as well as lacrosse early in the summer.

It remains one of the biggest single crowds in Fenway Parks near century and it endures as one of the most heartwarming events in Boston history.
Newspaper accounts had the Fenway Park gates closing at 9:30 AM to prevent over-crowding on the morning of Saturday June 6, 1914, as an overflow crowd of 50,000 children and their parents filled Fenway Park to welcome the elephant trio of Mollie, Waddy and Tony to Boston. The trio had been purchased for $6,700 with money raised (mostly in increments of pennies, nickels and dimes) by over 75,000 local schoolchildren.
TThe crowd was treated to a show that included Captain Bemo and his troupe of clowns, the acrobatic duo of Daly and Reno courtesy of Keiths vaudeville theater, the English High School Drum and Bugle Corps, Snyders Serenaders, a hornpipe dance by 200 Boston schoolchildren and speeches by Boston Mayor James Michael Curley and Massachusetts Governor David Walsh. Walsh would later write of the event:
The feature of the day at Fenway Park which impressed me most was the mighty enjoyment of the kiddies. It was an inspiring sight to look on that sea of child faces and to witness their expressions of pleasure when the three elephants purchased by them were led on the field.
It was the largest crowd that I ever saw assembled in one place in my life. It was a truly remarkable occasion and it gave me great satisfaction to be able to participate in it, acting for the children of New England in presenting Mollie, Waddy, and Tony to the city of Boston. I wish to especially compliment the police for the orderly and kind manner in which they handled the great crowd of children. (Boston Post, June 7, 1914)
In a game originally slated to be played in Montpelier, Vermont, the Norwich University football team played Boston College's squad on Halloween, in what was to be the first of the Eagles' many home games at Fenway Park.
The correspondent's report from the Boston Post described the action as follows:
"The best football team that has represented Norwich University this season went down to defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands of the Boston College football team to the tune of 28 to 6. The game was played at Fenway Park, and was one of the finest exhibitions of the new style of open play that has been seen in Boston this year. The Norwich team was greatly strengthened by the half back of Bishop who has been kept out of the lineup until today because of his condition." (Boston Post, November 1, 1914)


text: Statement: White House Responds to Robert Gates's Memoir --- Following the publication of excerpts from the forthcoming memoir by former Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates (read an exclusive WSJ excerpt here, and a rundown of top revelations here), the White House released a statement attributed to National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden: -- The President deeply appreciates Bob Gates' service as Secretary of Defense, and his lifetime of service to our country. Deliberations over our policy on Afghanistan have been widely reported on over the years, and it is well known that the President has been committed to achieving the mission of disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda, while also ensuring that we have a clear plan for winding down the war, which will end this year. As has always been the case, the President welcomes differences of view among his national security team, which broaden his options and enhance our policies. The President wishes Secretary Gates well as he recovers from his recent injury, and discusses his book." -- "The President disagrees with Secretary Gates' assessment – from his leadership on the Balkans in the Senate, to his efforts to end the war in Iraq, Joe Biden has been one of the leading statesmen of his time, and has helped advance America's leadership in the world. President Obama relies on his good counsel every day." - Wall Street Journal, at: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/01/07/statement-white-house-responds-to-robert-gatess-memoir/
