BMW Race Teams Ready for Rolex 24 Daytona Weekend
The 2013 GRAND-AM Road Racing season will begin with the 51st annual Rolex 24 at Daytona on Saturday, January 26th, and will be preceded by the second-annual BMW Performance 200 on Friday, January 25th as the sports car racing world once again descends on Daytona International Speedway.
With more than 67 cars expected to take the green flag, the BMW Performance 200 officially starts the years professional sports car racing and serves as the opening act of the 2013 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series and the 51st Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend.
This years BMW Performance 200 will be even more exciting, as AC/DC front man Brian Johnson will serve as Grand Marshal and give the command to start engines. Johnson will be on hand for the entire weekend supporting the Alzheimers Association with the Highway to Help campaign.
BMW of North America, LLC is proud to give the North American road racing season an excellent start with the BMW Performance 200, said Gordon McDonnell, BMWNA Motorsport Manager. We are delighted to see Brian Johnson serving as Grand Marshal to increase awareness of the Highway To Help campaign. We look forward to another great year of GRAND-AM competition.
Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge
This year eight teams will field thirteen BMWs in the BMW Performance 200. In 2012 BMW made more CTSCC starts than any other manufacturer and BMW drivers have always raced to success in the series that offers two classes of street-stock racing. The Grand Sport (GS) class includes the BMW M3 and the Street Tuner (ST) category includes the BMW 328i and BMW 135i Coupe. For four generations, the BMW M3 has demonstrated its inherent race-bred ability, and swept the GS class title in both 2011 and 2010. Turner Motorsport M3 racer Paul Dalla Lana, the 2011 GS Drivers Champion, also won the BMW Sports Trophy that year as the most successful privateer BMW driver in the world.
In ST class competition, BMW cars have been consistent podium contenders and race winners. Last season, BMW won the ST manufacturer championship thanks to the efforts of BimmerWorld Racing, RACE EPIC/Murillo Racing and Burton Racing.
Rolex Sports Car Series
This years Rolex 24 at Daytona will see five BMW Powered Daytona Prototypes and two BMW Powered BMW M3s take the green flag for the twice-around-the clock endurance classic. Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates will field two BMW powered Rileys in the top class for the 24 At Daytona with the No. 01 car returning for the entire 2013 season. The team gave BMW their second overall win at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 2011 and last year season-long drivers Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas won a third consecutive DP drivers title and team title in the No. 01 machine. BMW Motorsport driver Joey Hand will co-drive with the team for a third consecutive year. He will be joined by an all-star line up of Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, Charlie Kimball, Jamie McMurray, Juan Pablo Montoya, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas. Team Sahlen will make their DP class debut at the Rolex 24 at Datyona with two BMW Rileys and a fifth BMW Riley will be campaigned by Fifty Plus Racing. For a fourth consecutive season, Dinan Engineering will serve as BMWNAs engine partner serving all BMW teams with on and off-track engine support.
Turner Motorsport will seek GT class honors for BMW with two BMW M3s. BMW Team RLL driver Bill Auberlen will anchor the effort and be joined by BMW Motorsport drivers Maxime Martin and Andy Priaulx. Paul Dalla Lana, Billy Johnson, Michael Marsal, Boris Said and Gunther Schaldach will also drive the two fan favorite Turner machines.
The BMW Performance 200 will take the green flag at 1:45 p.m. on Friday, January 25th and be televised on SPEED television from 4-6 p.m. on February 2. The Rolex 24 at Daytona will start at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, January, 26th. The race will be televised live on SPEED from green flag to 11 p.m and again from 9 a.m. to the checkered flag.

Nice write up Rosi and considering I've just done my MCL in, great timing too.
Looking forward to the rest of it.
I look forward to reading this. I had a partial medial menisectomy last year on my right knee and will be seeing a consultant next week about my left. The last time my knee locked completely and I couldnt get it any straighter than a 90 degree bend prior to the surgery so was left on crutches for five weeks. This time I can walk etc so im worried i'm going to be out longer if surgery is required and I need to go on a list knees suck....
Perfect timing, my knee has been killing me for a couple of weeks now. I imagine this is one of those things I should see a doctor about but ah well..

Fighting out of Next Generation
Hi Rosi, A quick question if you don't mind. I have searched quite a lot on it and can't seem to find an answer. I had a large part of my meniscus (the nurses said it was a lot), removed in one of my knees in July, I was back training pretty quick so didn't go to my follow up appointment, and have fought a few times since then, but it still gives me the odd bit of grief every now and then... nothing major, just the occasional grinding feeling or uncomfortable sensations especially after intensive training (specifically training that bears a load on my legs). Is this normal ?
Thank you
It's not uncommon, but it shouldn't be seen as "normal".
Unfortunately, rehabilitation often seems to get neglected after relatively "minor" operations like this, but unless you address the mechanical factors (that may have led to the problem in the first place), many people do have ongoing difficulties.
I'd definitely recommend speaking to a good sports physio, osteopath or even a knowledgeable S&C coach about putting together a good rehabilitation program.

Fighting out of Next Generation
Thanks Rosi, it happened due to an accident (also had a Lisfranc fracture) rather than as a gradual process.
I was given some exercises to do by a physio, I can't recall names but I have done a lot of stability ball stuff, stuff on half a bosu ball, one leg weighted exercises and bodyweight squats/lunges, they seem to have helped restrengthen the leg but I still have the issues I mentioned.
For those fighters who feel their knees are getting worse as they get older its worth trying pure organic apple cider vinegar with mother. My knees and big toes would be sore after training also when id bend my knees somewhere quiet i could hear a catalogue of loud noises cracking,popping etc. Thinking this was mild gout i came across apple cider vinegar stating it helps against calcium cystals deposits in the joints which act like sharp glass in your joints causing Inflammation/pain.
After taking 30ml daily for a month the pain went away after training but i can still hear my knees cracking etc but not half as much.
Remember you shouldnt supplement with calcium if you have a sound diet or your have a surplus amount in your body, just vitamia D3 and cod liver oil are sound supplements
Btw the stuff tastes like shit but works for me
Interesting thread / topic
fully agree knee joint is vulnerable to injuries.
I tore my left (ACL) at a mma class, it took a good couple months to recover fully.
Strained my right knee at my 1 and only grappling comp a few months back..
iv also done 'something' to my right knee recently , it was either at the gym or a judo class im not sure, but I get pains when I straighten it after its been bent for a while, it also feels siezed / stiff during the night, and is feckin painful straghtening it? !
I dont really fancy the idea of hobbling about like a cripple when im 40! and unfortunately these daft wee injuries puts me off training / grappling..

NORWALK - Somebody dropped a large pipe on a freeway transition ramp in Norwalk today and eight vehicles hit it so hard that some airbags deployed as undercarriages were ripped up.
A California Highway Patrol officer said no one was injured in the series of crashes, which began at about 7:25 a.m. At least eight vehicles were damaged, most with flat tires.
The crashes were on the curving, two-lane transition ramp from the northbound San Gabriel (605) Freeway to the westbound Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway.
A few cars sustained some flat tires, and some air bags exploded when they hit the pipe, according to the CHP.
Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics were dispatched to the scene about 7:25 a.m. but did not take anyone to any hospitals, a dispatcher said.

You get to be the guest of honor as your closest female friends and family gather to girl-talk, eat and lavish you with gifts. Lately though, brides have been steering away from the age-old tradition and choosing their own steal-worthy theme. We love how this bridal shower is an interactive picnic. Guests were able to pick their blanket to sit on and basket to place their food in. It almost makes us want to take a trip down the rabbit hole from Alice in Wonderland.

In entomology, a division of arachnidans, including the mite and tick.
The entomology, too, of the desert did not escape our attention.
Write to the Division of entomology, Washington, for bulletins on the chinch bug.
Myrmecology: that branch of entomology that deals with ants.
He was a distinguished naturalist, and the author of various eminent works, especially in the department of entomology.
This volume treats of the poetry rather than the science of entomology.
My readers may differ in appraising the comparative value of the trifling discoveries which entomology owes to my labours.
One of our masters of entomology did me the honour to visit my laboratory.
Even Peter abandoned his entomology; so, from such sacrifice, must the intense heat be judged.
A recent discovery in entomology is the fact that ants have a voice.
1766, from French entomologie (1764), coined from Greek entomon "insect" + -logia "study of" (see -logy). Entomon is neuter of entomos "having a notch or cut (at the waist)," from en "in" (see en- (2)) + temnein "to cut" (see tome).
So called by Aristotle in reference to the segmented division of insect bodies. Compare insect. Related: Entomological. Hybrid insectology (1766, from French insectologie, 1744) is not much used.
I have given the name insectology to that part of natural history which has insects for its object; that of entomology ... would undoubtedly have been more suitable ... but its barbarous sound terryfy'd me. [Charles Bonnet's English translation of his "Contemplation de la nature," 1766]
entomology en·to·mol·o·gy (ěn'tə-mŏl'ə-jē)
The study of insects.
The scientific study of insects.
Our Living Language : Scientists who study insects (there are close to a million that can be studied!) are called entomologists. Why are they not called "insectologists"? Well, in a way they are. The word insect comes from the Latin word insectum, meaning "cut up or divided into segments." (The plural of insectum, namely insecta, is used by scientists as the name of the taxonomic class that insects belong to.) This Latin word was created in order to translate the Greek word for "insect," which is entomon. This Greek word also literally means "cut up or divided into segments," and it is the source of the word entomology. The Greeks had coined this term for insects because of the clear division of insect bodies into three segments, now called the head, thorax, and abdomen.

Where will BT Sport be available?
We intend to make the BT Sport channel available on a variety of platforms, so that it's widely available and easy to sign up to.
It's going to be available on satellite, the BT Vision platform (and YouView) via BT's fibre broadband, and in pubs and clubs. We don't know if it will be available over cable, but we are talking to Virgin Media about this.
How will it be available on Sky?
We are setting up channels on the Sky platform, so that Sky customers will be easily able to receive BT Sport in standard and high definition, by calling us. You therefore won't buy the channel from Sky, but directly from BT.
Will Sky sell it on BT's behalf?
No, that is unlikely. BT will sell BT Sport directly to customers. The channel will feature on the Sky TV guide, but you'll have to call a number and speak directly to BT to get the channel.
How much will you charge for the BT Sport channel?
We will reveal more about pricing closer to launch. Leave us your details at www.btsport.com and follow us on Twitter to be the first to know.
How will Freeview customers be able to get BT Sport?
We will reveal more details closer to launch.
What if I'm not in a BT Infinity fibre area and don't have satellite?
We have plans to distribute the channel as widely as possible and we will be making more announcements closer to launch.
When will BT Sport be available on YouView?
BT Sport will be available on YouView from BT in summer 2013.
Will I need a new box?
No, it is purely a software download.
Will BT Sport be available on Virgin Media?
We will offer BT Sport on Virgin Media if it makes commercial sense to do so.
It's unlikely that BT will sell the channel directly to customers as this is not the way Virgin Media operates.
Is there any chance that some of BT's live Premier League games will be shown on free-to-air TV?
That's not part of the plan.
What's BT's strategy for showing the games in pubs and clubs?
We will be offering the same great BT Sport TV channels we offer to residential customers to pubs, clubs, hotels and betting shops across the UK. We will reveal details closer to the launch, but we are talking to people across the industry to understand how to serve their needs and bring BT Sport to as many venues as possible.
Does BT intend to distribute the BT Sport channel on any other platform?
We will look at platforms that make commercial sense for BT.
Will all pricing be subscription-based or will BT offer pay-per-view for individual games?
We will reveal details closer to the launch.
Will customers be able to take the BT Sport channel on monthly terms, like Sky Sports from BT?
We will say more about terms and conditions closer to launch.
What is the best way for non-BT customers to get the BT Sport channel?
On satellite if you're a Sky customer, or have a Sky box and satellite.
Maybe they will go to Sky Sports, and its the reason Sky Sports dumped CW and UCMMA, coz UFC like exclusive deals.

I used the post at [SOLVED] Getting AWUS036NH to work with Ubuntu 9.10 - Ubuntu Forums to help me get set up in Ubuntu 9.10, but when I used the same directions in BT4 it didn't seem to work. To be more specific I couldn't see any access points in WICD on the desktop.
Does anyone know how to set up this wireless adapter to work in BT4?

I have a 2 mil rip curl ebomb hood. It's not too restrictive.

I have a 2 mil rip curl ebomb hood. It's not too restrictive.
Everyone has a different shape and need for a hood or a wet suit accessory of any kind. Your best bet is to go into your local dive shop or surf shop and check out the different styles. Personally Rip Curl's hood fits me very loose and I am always getting a cold rush to my head with every dunking I take while the Hyperflex billed and bibbed hood fits me very nice with almost no water wash.
I wear something like this when the air is cold and the water's not THAT cold yet... like early 4/3 season, before I go to a long sleeve rash guard with attached hood...
And yes... it's a Body Glove.
This one won't be as warm, but it's cheap...
this + 4/3 for winter
this + 4/3 or 3/2 depending on temp/winds for early spring
I'm in NJ btw. You might be fine with just the cap year round. The hood is pretty comfortable though and I don't really have any problems wearing it.
If the water temp is under 60 wear a hood or be prepared for this
Surfers Ear Surgery:
I also wear a Quiksilver hooded vest. It's kinda tight around the neck when the hood is NOT up. But when it is on, it feels great and keeps my head, chin and ears very warm! The vest part also adds 1 mm of thickness. So I'm usually good for the whole winter with the hooded vest and a 4/3. At least for Va Beach and OBX.

Winn scores 21 as Tornados defeat the Crusaders, 81-76January 24, 2009
Four Tornados score in double figures as Brevard takes their fifth win of the season
Tigerville, S.C. - The Tornados and Crusaders battled on Saturday afternoon on a game in who could stay hot the longest. Brevard tied the game up at halftime, then used a layup by Amanda Whitaker with 13 seconds left on the clock to clinch the Tornados fifth win of the season, 81-76.
Brevard (0-7 in the South Atlantic Conference) improves to 5-12 on the season, while the independent Crusaders fall to 9-9.
The teams came out with opposite styles at the start of the game as three of the Tornados first four shots were from behind the three-point line, while the Crusaders attacked inside the paint with Amanda Milner. Amber Roberts and Samantha Winn were able to connect outside for Brevard, while Milner pounded her way inside for the Crusaders for six quick points in the first 2:30 of the game.
The Tornados started to attack the paint as Amanda Whitaker drove in for a layup and then was fouled on another drive and put in the resulting free throws as the Tornados brought the game back to 14-12 with 13:06 left in the first half.
A three-pointer by Karly Stache in the left corner started a 7-0 run by the Crusaders before a layup by Millie Wharton ended the run with the score at 21-14 North Greenville, with 10:50 in the opening period.
Stache hit another three in the left corner, but Holli Flippo caught on fire for the Tornados, hitting one from behind the arc and making a steal and layup on the other end to bring the game back to within five at the 8:57 mark.
Anna Schlobohm, coming into the game hitting on 39.5 percent (17-43) of her three-point attempts, connected on two in a row, before Winn connected from behind the arc again to give the Tornados their first lead of the ball game at 32-31 with 4:34 left in the first period.
The remainder of the first half would be a battle from behind the arc before Schlobohm closed out the period with a pair of free throws, and Kelly Hudler blocked a last second layup attempt by Christina Carlis as the teams went into the locker room with the score tied 43-43.
Both teams put on a shooting display in the first half, combining to go 15-27 (55.6 percent) from downtown.
Samantha Winn led the Tornados with 11 points, going 3-4 from behind the arc while Whitaker hustled inside scoring six points while pulling down six rebounds. Stache led the Crusaders hitting 6-8 from three-point distance for a game high 18 points at the half.
Both teams continued to stay hot at the beginning of the second half as Whitney Smith knocked down a three on the Crusaders first trip down the court, while Lindsay Brendle and Schlobohm each connected outside in the opening minutes for Brevard.
A jumper by Winn in the paint off a pass from Whitaker and a quick turnover at the other end by the Crusaders forced a North Greenville timeout with 12:10 left in the game with the score at 58-56.
A pull-up three in transition by Holli Flippo gave the Tornados a 59-58 lead with 11:47 left in the game, a lead Brevard tenuously held on to for the next four minutes before Winn's fourth three-pointer of the game gave the Tornados a 70-63 left at the 7:35 mark.
Back-to-back jumpers by Schlobohm and Roberts gave the Tornados their largest lead of the game with 6:27 left at 74-64, before a layup by Milner and another three from the top of the key by Stache brought the game back within single digits.
Staked to a two point lead with 4:59 left on the clock, the Tornados patiently attacked the Crusaders defense, passing the ball amongst themselves before finding openings for Whitaker and Winn to expand the lead to five with 2:17 on the clock at 79-74.
With the Crusaders within three, Whitaker called for the ball on the left block and after receiving the pass from Wharton, went up and under the defense to put in a layup to give the Tornados their fifth win of the season.
The Tornados shot 46.0 percent (29-63) from the field and 13-26 (50.0 percent) from three point range, while holding the Crusaders to 40.3 percent (27-67).
Winn led the Tornados with 21 points, going 8-14 (57.1 percent) from the field while pulling down six rebounds. Whitaker scored 16 for the game while pulling down eight boards, while Schlobohm (15) and Flippo (12) each hit double figures.
The Crusaders were led by Stache with 24 points as she went 8-14 from behind the arc. Milner (15), Bridgett Smith (15), and Mindy Greenstone (13) all were in double digits for the Crusaders.
The Tornados head home on Wednesday, January 28, for a South Atlantic Conference matchup against Newberry College. Tip-off for the game between the Tornados and Newberry is set for 6 p.m. The Crusaders, also in action on Wednesday, take to the road to face Lincoln Memorial with game time at 6 p.m.

Artist George Catlin journeyed west five times in the 1830s, traversing the Great Plains and visiting more than 140 American Indian tribes. In hundreds of canvases, Catlin recorded the lifeways of Plains Indians, including illustrating massive herds of buffalo and their importance in daily life. In George Catlin's American Buffalo, Adam Duncan Harris considers forty of Catlin's paintings and the artist's role as an early proponent of wilderness conservation and the national park idea, and how that advocacy remains relevant today—to the Great Plains, the buffalo, and land use.

How To Grow Your Business
Statistically speaking, more than half of the newly founded businesses tend to fail within the first five years of operation, due to a series of reasons: some entrepreneur may lack business management skills, others have chosen a niche that turned out to be less profitable than expected, and so on. Growing your business is paramount for ensuring its success and continuity over the years, and there are many ways in which you can do just that. Here you will find several useful tips and hints on how to grow your business:
1. Consider Expanding Your Product Or Service To Adjacent Markets
One of the most notable things you can do is expanding your product or service to other markets, and targeting other demographics. You do not need to give up the product you are currently promoting – all you need to do is to look at the big picture and to come up with an idea that would help you reach a higher number of people.
The secret here is to promote your products with your target market in mind, and you can identify your target market only after conducting some thorough, in-depth research. In a nutshell, your target market represents the market segment that is the most interested in the business or product that you have to offer. The Internet certainly comes in handy for those who want to make the best out of their businesses, as it allows them to market their products to millions of people all around the world.
2. Consider A Partnership
One of the biggest and most efficient marketing strategies that world-renowned brands and corporations rely on these days is brand association, commonly known as brand partnership. As the name itself suggests, this partnership involves aligning yourself with another business from your niche, forming a stronger presence that will (hopefully) dominate the market.
For instance, if you are in the shoe industry and your business is located in a small city, then you can associate your business with another shoe selling business, merge the two of them together and be one step ahead of your competitors. This is a win-win situation that will greatly benefit both brands!
3. Consider Opening Another Location
This is a sure way to expand your business in the long run, although you will need to invest heavily into opening another location. Not only will this help you raise brand awareness and attract more prospects to your business, but it will also help you establish your company as an authority in the field. The growth of your business will not be sudden, but you will undoubtedly see a significant growth in terms of customers (and even market share, maybe) in the next few years.
4. Opt For The Services Of A Professional
If you truly want to make the best out of your business, then you can always hire a
business growth specialist in Wellington
who knows all the "tricks" that will help your business blossom. There are many business growth specialists as well as
business growth strategist in Wellington
who can come up with tailored plans of action for your business.
Business advisors in Wellington
will surely be able to help you how make a good start so that your investment will not go to waste.

FAQS- Permanent Site
If you don't have a building, what exactly do you do?
Even though the NWHM is still lobbying Congress for a permanent physical site, we've done quite a bit.
Our first success: NWHM raised $126,000 and generated public support to move this monument of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony from the U.S. Capitol Crypt to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
NWHM created a traveling exhibit, Rights for Women, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, New York. The exhibit was curated by Edith P. Mayo, Curator Emeritus, Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and displayed at the World Financial Center.
"Clandestine Women; the Untold Stories of Women in Espionage" opened in March 2002. This exhibition at the Women In Military Service For America Memorial honors all women intelligence officers who have served this country.
"Partners in Winning the War; American Women In World War II" opened in May 2004. The exhibition is a photographic tribute of posters, photographs, articles and documents that demonstrate the contributions and sacrifices of women in the effort to win the war.
Legislation has been introduced in the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate that would provide a permanent home on or close to the National Mall in Washington, DC – the place that shows what our nation honors. Bills have passed the House on a voice vote and twice in the Senate on unanimous consent but never in the same Congress. Legislation is pending that would create a commission to make a recommendation for a site – hopefully on the National Mall.
On a regular basis, NWHM adds Online Exhibits to its OnlineMuseum. As of March 2013, there are 22 exhibits on various aspects of women's history and four in planning and research stages.
Once we have a permanent site, NWHM will continue to create online exhibits and programming that will be accessible from our website.
Is the National Women's History Museum a Smithsonian museum?
We are privately funded and just happen to be in the same town as most of the Smithsonian museums. Once a physical site is established, we will apply to the Smithsonian for an affiliation. This will allow us to borrow objects from the Smithsonian's collections for use in exhibitions.

PHOTOS: Melissa Ceja shows off her curves in Las Vegas at Wet Republic
Mexican swimsuit model Melissa Ceja shows off her curves in Las Vegas at Wet Republic as her fans waved at her while she walked by the party pool. Melissa was spotted smiling as she took in the sun in a lounge chair and then was being mocked by a man behind her as she posed for some photos. The man quickly stopped flexing his biceps as she looked over her shoulder at him to see what he had been doing behind her. Melissa was friendly to her fans as she enjoyed a day poolside at the pool where many celebs including Price Harry have all partied in her same VIP area.

I have the iPad 2 jailbroken & I get an "error 1004" why is this? Can someone help?
Thanks in advance
Is it free only for US app store?
It says $4.99 for me in the USA :/ It's 10:40pm Central time
Must only be free in the USA. In Canada on my phone it shows as free when you search for it then selecting it the details are shown and the price is shown as $4.99. That was 11:30 PM EST. So I thought I would fire up the MacBook and try iTunes. Same deal there, it shows as free but if you click on it there is a message saying that the item is being updated and then the price shows as $4.99. Seems like a bit of a scam to me, if you are not paying attention you could end up paying $4.99 for something you think is free...
I wonder what time zone. I am in the U.S., Central time. It is 10:58pm and the app shows a price of $4.99.
Not free in Cali....
Nope, not free in Aus either. Actually its $5.95 here.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced this week that it will begin taking steps to enable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology for light vehicles.
"Vehicle-to-vehicle technology represents the next generation of auto safety improvements, building on the life-saving achievements we've already seen with safety belts and air bags," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Even better, suggested Scott F. Belcher, president and CEO of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), who called the DOT announcement "a safety leap exceeding even seat belts and air bags."
NHTSA estimated last fall that 15,470 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes during the first half of 2013. By that estimate fatalities were down 4.2 percent from 16,150 in the first half of 2012.
DOT research indicates that safety applications using V2V technology can address a large majority of crashes involving two or more motor vehicles. With safety data such as speed and location flowing from nearby vehicles, vehicles can identify risks and provide drivers with warnings to avoid other vehicles in common crash types such as rear-end, lane change, and intersection crashes. DOT says these safety applications have been demonstrated with everyday drivers under both real-world and controlled test conditions.
But don't expect a lot to happen quickly. NHTSA took some time to make its decision and promises to proceed carefully. It's currently finalizing its analysis of the pilot study data and will publish a research report on V2V technology for public comment in the coming weeks.
NHTSA will then begin working on a regulatory proposal that would require V2V devices in new vehicles. Meanwhile, automakers will continue developing and promoting their own safety systems.
DOT stressed in its announcement that V2V technology does not involve exchanging or recording personal information or tracking vehicle movements. The information sent between vehicles doesn't identify the vehicles, it just contains basic safety data. The system as contemplated contains several layers of security and privacy protection.

Normal turnaround time for a work request is 2 business days. Work requests for copies of book chapters require additional scan time due to extra steps needed to create a useable original. Please notify Document Center staff of any incoming "rush" requests as early as time permits. Requests received very late in the afternoon (after 4:00PM) will be processed on the following workday unless prior arrangements are made. Any request for after hours print production must be approved in advance.
The Document Center regularly receives requests for printing from one department which will be billed to another department. In the event that a customer is forwarding a file to be printed on behalf of another department, it is Document Center policy to have prior approval from the department who is actually being billed before the job is prepared for printing. If a department fails to give the Document Center proper billing information prior to completion of printing, the department that originally requests the printing services will be billed.

On the Shelf
Outrageous Apples, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- The Irish poet and novelist Dermot Healy has died at sixty-six. "I think of him as someone who lived on the edge, in some way … He lived on the very edge of County Sligo, the edge of Ireland—the edge of Europe, you might say. In some ways he lived on the edge of the literary community, but in certain ways he was central to the community he shaped around himself, especially in the northwest of Ireland. And it was the rough edge of his work, which in some ways was so distinctive, which attracted his readers."
- And the poet Allen Grossman has died at eighty-two; "poetry is a principle of power invoked by all of us against our vanishing," he once said.
- In happier news, astronomers have discovered the biggest diamond in the universe: it "weighs approximately a million trillion trillion pounds … Nobody has actually seen this gigantic diamond, not even through a telescope … the star's invisibility is a key part of the circumstantial case for its existence."
- Cézanne's "paintings of apples confused critics and art enthusiasts alike. People were astonished that apples could look so ugly, and be so poorly painted. Some thought Cézanne's still lifes were actually a joke, or an insult."
- On elevators (and the people in them): "You can only send yourself as a message successfully if you remain intact—that is, fully encrypted—during transmission. That's what elevator protocol is for. Or so we might gather from the very large number of scenes set in lifts in movies from the 1930s onwards … Desire erupts, or violence, shattering the sociogram's frigid array. Or the lift, stopped in its tracks, ceases to be a lift. It becomes something else altogether: a prison cell to squeeze your way out of, or (Bernard suggests) a confessional."

Chateau Ste. Michelle receives some of the highest accolades in the industry, including "American Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast for 2004 and "2005 Winery of the Year" by Restaurant Wine. In addition, the winery's Eroica Riesling, crafted from a partnership with German winemaker Ernst Loosen, has been named to Wine Spectator's prestigious "Top 100" wines list for five consecutive years.
Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the few premium wineries in the world with two state-of-the-art wineries, one devoted to whites and another to reds. This dedicated approach to winemaking allows winemaker Bob Bertheau to build winemaking programs to the unique specifications of red and white wines. While all of Chateau Ste. Michelle's vineyards are located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains where the climate is dry and sunny, Bob Bertheau makes the award winning white wines in Woodinville, 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The winery's expansive, 87-acre estate hosts more than 250,000 visitors annually for tours, tastings, dinners and outdoor summer concerts.
The winery consistently garners some of the most prestigious awards in winemaking, including Winery of the Year and Winemaker of the Year honors. Its outstanding team of winemakers and viticulturalists are noted for fruit-forward, food-friendly wines from prime vineyard sources in the Alexander Valley.

Nestled amidst the vineyards and rolling hills along the Livermore Valley, Concannon has been widely recognized for crafting full-flavored, complex and award-winning wines. Ocean air pours through the Golden Gate each afternoon cooling the influence of the sun, and enabling the grapes to develop both the ripe sugars and firm acids that fine wine demands.
Concannon is perfectly positioned geologically, atop a 600-foot-deep bed of gravelly soil. These rocks require the vines to drive their roots deep into mineral-rich deposits, and it also keeps the grape and cluster size in moderation.
More than 140 of Concannon's 200 Livermore estate acres are Petite Sirah plantings grafted onto improved rootstocks. Over the decades, they have carefully tuned their planting and trellising to take full advantage of the unique terroir. The result: intensely flavored, memorable wines vintage after vintage.
Aromas of dark berries combine with hints of earthy richness. The palate is full of rich dark savory fruit leaving trails of dark chocolate, cherries and sweet chalky tannins.
Kangarilla Road is a fairly new brand on the Australian wine scene, but the grapes come from vines planted in the 1970's. For several years prior to 1997, Kevin and Helen O'Brien had been seeking a high quality McLaren Vale vineyard to purchase. When they were lucky enough to find the old-vine Cambrai vineyard, they jumped at the chance to purchase it. The winery's first complete vintage as Kangarilla Road was in 1998.
Pair with crab, poultry, salmon and scallops.
An ideal accompaniment to osso bucco, beef rib roast or mature

GT bashed by a M5 ED'er and Jon
I still lurk in the ED forum even after almost a year after my own ED. I found this interesting thread of an M5 re-delivery with the OP making the following comment. I'm not looking to start any flame war with this guy, just wanted to get some thoughts from fellow GT owners here. Much more interesting is his reference to comments made by Jon, Bimmerfest founder, who probably had a hand in a few GT deliveries of some folks in this forum.
"Jon at BMW of Santa Barbara was just phenomenal as always. He picked me up right on time at the train station and drove me to the dealership in 5-Series GT. We made jokes on the way there, with him making the funny comment that the dealership uses the 5er GT as a shuttle because they simply cannot sell such an ugly looking car. Haha! He dropped me off right in front of my M5 and then went to go park the shuttle. "
The GT isn't for everyone....
Let's face it, the GT ain't for everybody. That is why you don't see them driving up and down the road like other 5 series vehicles.
Truth be told, I bought the car because it isn't popular. People see it and either love it or hate it. But "people" didn't buy my car, I did!!!
I will honestly say that the look of the GT grows on me more and more everyday. I own the car and I am still not 100% comfortable with the look of the car. I have found that certain colors make the car flow better. Dark colors, for example. My color, titanium silver, makes the car look boaty and turtle'ish. Again, all my opinion.
But I got my car fully, fully loaded at a price very reasonable to me.
My neighbor just got the new 650 BMW and paid around $80k. She told me out of her own mouth that she felt "robbed" because my car had way more (and I mean way more) options than hers, but was $30k cheaper! The GT, as big as it is, is just about as fast as her car.
Anyway, Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
If you need compliments for how sleek and sexy your car looks, you should've gotten a CLS and counted how many times you see that car on a day-to-day basis....too many times to keep count!
After getting out of the store today and walking towards my car, I saw a guy giving it a look over...he said nice car. Personally, it looks just fine from inside, and I can't really see it when it's in the garage...I think it was the best car for me at the time of purchase and that's all that counts.
I absolutely LOVE the look of the car and unlike most, it never had to grow on me. IMO, the GT fits a certain type of personality.....dare I use the words peculiar, non-mainstream, go against the grain, lead instead of follow types. Perhaps I am only speaking for myself and no one else. The same "ugly" comments were made about the Acura MDX when it debuted with the now signature Acura front end. Unlike the critics I thought the SUV was gorgeous, and still is. I agree with gt=hi&bye. An added perk for driving the GT is that you don't see them driving up and down the road. I purchased my GT in May and have only seen 3 since!
Last year when I picked up mine in Munich, and during 12 days in Europe I saw exactly three GT's. 1 in UK 2 in Germany. This year when I went back I'm not gonna say that they were as popular as a 5er but I did see a lot more 10+, especially in Munich, probably as many as 7ers.
Yes it is not an usual car, especially if one is not used to hatchbacks but it is big and in 550 trim it hauls ass just fine.
When I was shopping for one I was looking at the 750's and I got the same equipment for $25k less... with the same room. This thing is roomier than an X5, so whatever they say, I love it and can't wait until they come up with the M5GT (in my dreams)! Wouldn't that be something...
In the meantime enjoy your cars, who cares what ppl think...
I love the look of the GT, I'm in love with the idea of a Gran Tourismo/Grand Tourer, I consider my "slow" and "poor mans" F02 in that GT category as well. Perfect for long distance travel in comfort, that just eats the miles up.
But its looks are definitely polarizing and not for everyone. I think that its a positive thing, its a special car and it stands out. If I had a family and wanted a wagon, I'd seriously consider the F07.
The M5 is very understated, very minimal, only the quad exhausts and side gills would tell the casual observer its not a garden variety 528 with 20" wheels. So its funny they trash the F07, but at the end of the day, the GT probably gets more looks - both positive and negative than any F10 would.
Enjoy your car, its only for the distinct taste. Your car is brie to their cheddar :rofl:
Nicely put. :thumbup:
@everyone else:
I guess I was just thrown off by the comment and felt I needed to share and get some acknowledgement that I am not crazy in loving my GT for what it is. I now have over 10K miles on it approaching the 1 year mark. Each and every one of those miles were driven in pure thrill and exhiliration. Every time I press that start button feels like the first time back in Munich. I am always in awe at the sheer driving experience I get when I press on that pedal.
I find it funny that whenever I put the GT in Sport+ mode my wife looks outside the window to see who I am about to pass. I find it pleasing that my kids enjoy the luxurious back seat which my son calls his spaceship (panoramic sunroof + dark night sky = space travel in luxury).
The GT is truly unique and I must also confess (like others here) that is a huge part of the allure it had when I first laid eyes on it. The value proposition just follows suit (features you get + ED delivery). All the practicality the GT affords me defines my proclivity for this particular BMW model. Maybe I should look at it this way: The GT is ahead of its time. People who hate it and call it ugly are close minded and approach vehicle ownership a certain way, while we GT owners are visionaries and are the "true drivers." ;)
Agree its not a car that everyone loves..
Over the years I have owned and M5, an M3, porsche turbo, and currently still have a C4S and a 356B all loaded and many with after market toys, in my stable...and yes every one of my 20 year old and 16 year old daughters boyfriends all oogle at the porsches....but without a doubt i get far more comments and compliments on my GT then ANY of my other cars past or present....
Love MY GT everyday..... wish they would make a GT-M
to chris on the money...
to lex...me too love at first sight wanted one right away was glad i was in a lease on my x5 so had to wait just long enough for them to add xdrive and a few refinements to the 2012's

Hi Fellows,
As a new GT 530d Owner from Vienna Austria I am happy to join this community.
I went for the GT because my main requirement for a car is COMFORT !
This means that since I am no longer in my thirties I want to get in and out of my car without any physical effort (and I don't want looking dogs through the window right into my eyes).
The last 15 or so years it was a RangeRover 4,6 HSE and several Vans (Renault Grand Espaces and a VW Sharan) - all with this throne-like seating position and ease of entry and exit :-))
Since there is no longer the necessity of an SUV or VAN I looked around what it possibly could be and - tadaa - there was one and JUST one - the GT.
Everything else like Audi A7 or Merc just did not qualify (besides being still more expensive than a GT).
And since here in Europe those 8-Cylinder guzzlers are no longer political correct and the diesels have become extremely quiet, it of course had to be one of these.
Plus some options.... Here it is.
And the reason why I love the looks is easyly explained:
The most beautiful car I have owned (before the GT) was the Rover 3500 SD1 (from 1986 to 1993)
and if you compare the pictures you will understand why.....

We just went over 11k miles on ours. Wife drives it 80% of the time and gets plenty of stares in traffic. I was picking up one of my detailing clients at a local Enterprise rental car yesterday, 3 of the employees came out and marveled at the GT.
gm, I really think you should work on improving on the 20% that you get to drive your GT. I thought one had to be behind the wheel at least 50% of the time (and preferably more) to be a bona fide member of this forum. Will we be seeing some improvement? :)
gm, in light of your response, I withdraw my previous comments and question. I had inferred that you wanted more time in the GT. I am a 100%-er in my GT as my wife has her own Beemer, a 335xi which, thankfully, she loves. (I am a 10%-er in that one). :)
Took a day road trip with a few friends up to outside of Nashville back in Sept on a Sunday to attend Emofest. I worked a 12 hour shift prior to our 6am departure, so I let them drive up and back while I napped in the back seat of the GT. It rained monsoon for an hour on the way back. I slept like a baby while my friend cruised at 80 without an issue. :dunno::D
gm, with those hours I can see your 'more GT time' dilemma. Enjoy what ever time you get, either from your schedule or your wife. :)
I have never been a passenger in my GT, always the driver, but it is certainly no surprise that you were so comfortable sleeping in the back seat ton your recent trip. That 7-series short wheelbase and the smooth drivetrain sure makes for a nice ride, doesn't it? My wife's 335 goes like hell but the ride is definitely less comfortable than my GT on any type of road.

Does anyone know who started using this to mean a form of amateur MMA rules?
And why shows use the term "NSAC Amateur"?
As far as I am aware there is no such thing as a fixed amateur rule set from the NSAC.
There are the full unified rules sanctioned by the NSAC that everyone is familiar with. They also have their list of guidelines and regulations for events, including amateur, but I haven't seen a fixed rule set from them that is the same as what people here call "NSAC Amateur".
It looks like guys in the UK have taken a common US amateur rule set, one of many used over there, and dubbed it "NSAC". Is it like the term "semi-pro MMA", another daft quirk of UK MMA that doesn't really mean anything?
Maybe I'm wrong, I don't have as much to do with the current MMA scene as I used to. Does someone have a link to this rule set with the NSAC actually having anything to do with it? I couldn't find any.

Quakes' Reed notches first pro win
Dodgers prospect allows four hits over seven shutout innings
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 22, 2012 4:46 PM ET
Before being selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2011 Draft, he spent three years as a reliever at Stanford University and started only two games during his college career. The Dodgers looked to make him a starter in the professional ranks, but after six outings this season, a win remained elusive.
In fact, it had been since his senior year in high school in Reseda, Calif., that Reed earned a win as a starter.
The Dodgers' No. 5 prospect finally earned that first pro win Sunday, tossing seven dominant innings in Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga's 2-0 blanking of the Visalia Rawhide.
Reed (1-2), who carried a 5.40 ERA into Sunday's contest, allowed four hits and struck out a career-high eight without walking a batter. The seven-inning performance also was the longest outing of his brief pro career.
"It feels good. I was getting tired of losing," Reed said. "When a game starts, you want to give your team a good chance to win early. So I tried to get comfortable early. Some good defense behind me helped, too. It was a good team win overall."
The 21-year-old left-hander said the biggest key to his success against the Rawhide was the lack of free passes. He had issued eight walks over 10 innings in his previous two starts.
By making Visalia put the ball in play, Reed set down 16 consecutive hitters between the first and seventh innings. The string ended when D-backs' No. 4 prospect Chris Owings singled.
"It's the greatest feeling. You're in the zone," Reed said. "When things are going that way, I'm able to stay in the windup, and I've always been more comfortable there."
With four starts of at least four innings under his belt, the transition from reliever to starter may appear to be complete. But Reed acknowledged that he's still experiencing some growing pains.
"It's going well," he said. "There have been plenty of bumps here and there. The biggest difference is maintaining focus for an hour, an hour and a half, however long a start lasts, instead of just the 15 minutes an inning takes as a reliever.
"I've been working on my fastball command mostly, building up my pitch count. I've had confidence in my changeup but didn't have to throw it before, so I'm getting used to using that more."
Former Midwest League All-Star Tony Delmonico drove in both runs for the Quakes with a sacrifice fly in the second and a single in the sixth. Rancho Cucamonga has won two in a row and three of its last four games.
Owings and Jonathan Griffin both went 2-for-4 for Visalia, with Owings raising his average to .329. That ranks second among California League shortstops behind Reds No. 2 prospect Billy Hamilton of Bakersfield.

Calvin Klein Collection Fall 2014
Cozy. If I had a dime for every time that word has been used to describe a collection this week—and I'm guilty as any—it would be down parkas for each and every one of those shivering street style stars. And if the trend continues in Europe, they'll all get some Sorel boots too. Fortunately, though the collection Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa created for fall revolved almost entirely around mohair and yarn, cozy is not a word that comes front of mind. In Costa's hand, and through his shape-focused lens, the idea of sweater dressing takes on an architectural quality. Costa's use of seaming and structure manages to make knits look tailored. For instance, the neck of a short-sleeved mohair dress stood up stiffly to the chin, and the final looks—thick, patchwork sleeveless tops that felt both handcrafted and carefully cast to stand away from the body and were attached to gauze skirts—were the opposite of relaxed comfort. This was only underscored by the electric guitar sound track.
As a drum beat was added to the rhythym, color appeared in the clothes. A tweed jacket came in marled loden, gray, and orange stripes and those sweater dresses were now multicolored Fair Isle knits. Backstage, Costa also referenced the recent Mike Kelley exhibit at PS1 MoMA and a child's sense of play. That's where the coat fastenings came from, pins with giant colored beads like the wooden balls of that wire rollercoaster toy in every pediatrician's office (it's called an Anatex, in case that was keeping you up at night).
And because fall thus far seems to be a lot about a natural disaster–ready shoe, here models tread the runway in dark, haircalf utility boots. The silver wire laces, Costa said, identify them as a must-have for fall 2014.

The name "ginseng" is used to refer to both American (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), which belong to the genus Panax and have a somewhat similar chemical makeup. Both Asian and American ginseng contain ginsenosides (substances that are thought to give ginseng its medicinal properties), although they contain different types in different amounts. Siberian ginseng or Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), on the other hand, is an entirely different plant with different effects. It is distantly related to ginseng, but it does not contain the same active ingredients.
Like Asian ginseng, American ginseng is a light tan, gnarled root that often looks like a human body with stringy shoots for arms and legs. Native Americans used the root as a stimulant and to treat headaches, fever, indigestion, and infertility. Ginseng remains one of the most popular herbs in the United States.
Ginseng is sometimes called an "adaptogen," an herb that helps the body deal with various kinds of stress, although there is no scientific evidence to prove the benefit of adaptogens.
Most studies have used Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng). There is some evidence that Panax ginseng may help boost the immune system, reduce risk of cancer, and improve mental performance and well being. Laboratory studies in animals have found that American ginseng is effective in boosting the immune system, and as an antioxidant. Other studies show that American ginseng might have therapeutic potential for inflammatory diseases. Research on American ginseng has focused on a number of conditions, some of which are described below.
Several human studies found that American ginseng lowered blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. The effect was seen both on fasting blood sugar and on postprandial (after eating) glucose levels. One study found that people with type 2 diabetes who took American ginseng before or together with a high sugar drink experienced less of an increase in blood glucose levels. However, more research is needed.
One study using mice found that the American ginseng berry was more effective at lowering blood sugar levels than the root.
American ginseng has been shown to inhibit tumor growth. In one laboratory study on colorectal cancer cells, researchers found that American ginseng possessed powerful anti-cancer properties.
Colds and flu
In two studies, people who took a specific product called Cold FX for 4 months got fewer colds than people who took a placebo, and those who got colds found their symptoms did not last as long compared to people who took a placebo.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
One preliminary study suggests that American ginseng, in combination with ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), may help treat ADHD. More research is needed.
Immune system enhancement
Some scientists believe American ginseng enhances the immune system. In theory, this improvement in immune function could help the body fight off infection and disease. Several clinical studies have shown that American ginseng does boost the performance of cells playing a role in immunity.
The American ginseng plant has leaves that grow in a circle around a straight stem. Yellowish-green umbrella-shaped flowers grow in the center and produce red berries. Wrinkles around the neck of the root tell how old the plant is. This is important because American ginseng is not ready for use until it has grown for about 6 years. American ginseng is very expensive and is endangered in the wild. It is now being grown on farms to protect wild American ginseng from over-harvesting.
American ginseng products are made from ginseng root and the long, thin offshoots called root hairs. The main chemical ingredients of American ginseng are ginsenosides and polysaccharide glycans (quinquefolans A, B, and C). American ginseng seems to be more relaxing than Asian ginseng, which may have stimulating effects.
American ginseng (dried) is available in water, water and alcohol, or alcohol liquid extracts, and in powders, capsules, and tablets. American ginseng is available with other herbs in several combination formulas.
Be sure to read the label carefully so that you are purchasing the type of ginseng that you want. If you are looking for Asian ginseng, make sure you buy Korean, red, or Panax ginseng. If you are looking for American ginseng, you should buy Panax quinquefolius. Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), which is sometimes called Siberian ginseng, may also be found in health food stores or pharmacies. It does not have the same active ingredients as Asian or American ginseng.
American ginseng is not recommended for use in children except under a doctor's supervision.
Available forms include
The use of herbs is a time honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, contain components that can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a health care provider qualified in the field of botanical medicine. Always tell your doctor about any herbs you may be taking.
Side effects are rare but may include:
To avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), even in people without diabetes, take American ginseng with food.
People with hypertension (high blood pressure) should not take American ginseng products without the close supervision of their doctor. At the same time, people with low blood pressure, as well as those with an acute illness, should use caution when taking American ginseng.
People with bipolar disorder should not take ginseng, because it may increase the risk of mania.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take American ginseng.
Women who have a history of breast cancer, or other hormone-sensitive conditions, should not take ginseng.
Stop taking American ginseng at least 7 days prior to surgery. American ginseng can lower blood glucose levels and could create problems for patients fasting before surgery. In addition, American ginseng may act as a blood thinner, increasing the risk of bleeding during or after the procedure.
If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use ginseng without first talking to your health care provider:
Medications for diabetes -- American ginseng may lower blood sugar levels, so it could interfere with the effectiveness of prescription drugs for diabetes. Talk to your doctor before taking American ginseng if you are taking medicines for diabetes, including insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents such as metformin (Glucophage).
Blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants) -- One small study suggested that American ginseng might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinning medication. If you take any blood-thinning medications, ask your doctor before taking ginseng.
MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) -- Ginseng may increase the risk of side effects when taken with MAOIs, a type of antidepressant. There have been reports of interaction between ginseng and phenelzine (Nardil) causing headaches, tremors, and mania. MAOIs include:
Antipsychotic medications -- American ginseng may increase the effects of medications used to treat psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, so they should not be taken together.
Stimulants -- Ginseng may increase the stimulant effect and side effects of some medications take for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, including amphetamine and dextroamphetamine (Adderall) and methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin).
Morphine -- Asian ginseng may block the painkilling effects of morphine.

Ok, I narrowed down the problem.
The USB and the DVD are fine. I tried them on an old AMD HP Pavilion with Windows XP and they worked fine, I got to the green prompt and typed in startx and everything was there.
But that means that my Toshiba is somehow not compatible with BT 4, which makes me so sad! I need to be mobile.
Any suggestions on what I could do to get my laptop working or should I start a different thread about this.
So, bottom line, the USB issue is solved. This is now a compatibility problem.
