ON JUNE 13, Flint, Gordis, and friends did a ride that took them to Palomares Road, which climbs for 5 miles then plunges 600 feet in a mile before assuming a gentler profile. Again, the group lost quickly sight of Flint as he rocketed downhill. After reentering Oakland, they descended Joaquin Miller Road, a plummeting four-lane speedway lined with parked cars and intersected by multiple cross streets. "Kim disappeared at a terrifying rate of speed," Gordis told the group in an e-mail. "I was afraid I'd find him in a body bag at the bottom."
After uploading his ride data, Flint was incredulous that he'd failed to win a downhill KOM. The first-place rider on Palomares was a top local racer of 20 years' standing: Larry Nolan, winner of 42 national and 112 state elite and master's road and track championships, holder of one world and two national records, and, as of that year, directeur sportif of Team Specialized, the company that made Flint's bike. None of that seemed to make an impression on Flint. "It's not right to see a descent in the East Bay without SteveS or me at the top!" he wrote to Gordis.
"He had no idea what he was up against," Gordis says. "I was worried about him."
ON SATURDAY, JUNE 19, Flint was supposed to meet Chris Aynesworth to work through a computer problem. "He e-mailed me and said he had to run a few errands first," Aynesworth remembers. "He was going to take a leisurely ride by himself to get coffee and mail from his post-office box in Berkeley." That was Flint's regular Saturday-morning ritual, but on this day he was distracted by something that had occurred earlier in the week. On Tuesday, a rider named Pan Thomakos—who happened to be a Strava software engineer—had taken the South Park Drive KOM, beating Flint's record by four seconds. According to Flint's Garmin, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, he was at the top of South Park Drive.
At 4:45, Flint's girlfriend Violet posted a panicked message on Twitter: "Kim's been hit by a car. I'm waiting for a ride to the hospital. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Please please PRAY."
Aynesworth picked up Hefner and drove her to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, where the cyclist had been airlifted by ambulance helicopter. Flint's parents, who live in nearby Danville, were already there. "At the hospital," Aynesworth says, "I overheard a woman on a walkie-talkie. She said Kim was going around a curve, lost control, tried to stop, and couldn't. He rammed an SUV, flew 40 feet in the air, and crushed his chest. His heart and lungs were in bad shape—he tried to talk, but only said, 'I can't breathe. I can't breathe.' He said his name was Kevin, which is his brother's name."
The place where Flint crashed is only a quarter of a mile from the top of South Park—a sharp right downhill curve where a rider intent on taking it at high speed would have to cross into the oncoming lane to cut back through the apex. Adjacent to a picnic parking area on the left side of the road, it's the lower part of a sweeping S-curve that follows a short rise in the plunging hill—an upturn so short that you don't even have to resume pedaling, but which briefly blocks your view of the road ahead.
"It's the only tricky turn on the whole descent," says Steve Zavestoski. "Kim was a very analytical person; he knew every second he had to shave off." Adds Aynesworth: "He knew the corners. He was just trying to go as fast as humanly possible. His father later told me that his bike was in perfect condition—his body absorbed all the impact."
The SUV driver was a woman who had her young daughter in the backseat. They were heading uphill in their own lane when Flint came around the corner; according to park police, Flint braked so hard that he nearly flipped, fishtailed into the side of the vehicle, and ricocheted off.
"His skid marks went over the center line," says Aynesworth, who visited the site two days later. "We found part of an eyepiece of his sunglasses with blood on it. It was horrible."
Flint had suffered severe injuries to his head, neck, spine, ribs, femur, liver, diaphragm, and right lung. "If he hadn't died, he probably would have been paralyzed," says Neal Trembath.
"I saw his parents when they were told that he'd passed away," says Aynesworth. "I had to hold Mrs. Flint up—she couldn't stand. Mr. Flint was very angry. He just said, 'Let's get out of here.'"

|Segments valid (not flagged as hazardous) and KOMs reigning as of August 23, 2013. Researched by Jacqueline Itsines.
FOR THE FIRST few days after news of Flint's death was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, most of the online cycling commentary focused on the dangers of descending South Park Drive. Many riders reported going even faster there than Flint had—some apparently bragging, but some expressing an attitude of chastened self-reform, citing a sense of responsibility to their families.
It took about a week for the Strava connection to surface. In late June and early July, the independent news site Berkeleyside published a pair of articles entitled "Did attempt to set speed record cause cyclist's death?" and the even more suggestive "Did bicycle website contribute to cyclist's death?" Another piece by the same writer (Frances Dinkelspiel) in the New York Times mentioned Flint's "obsession with Strava," a perspective confirmed by Violet Hefner in the UC Berkeley student newspaper The Daily Californian. Hefner stopped short of blaming the website: "They're trying to do something to help motivate people. I think that's a good thing." But she said it fed his urge to push his limits.
Not everyone accepted the characterization of the incident as an act of Stravacide. "I would not say that Strava attracts the speed addicts who are really looking for ways to go out and post KOM rankings," Steve Zavestoski told Berkeleyside. "Strava attracts people who want to be better at cycling, better on the climbs, better on the distance. It just so happens you can't go up a hill without going down a hill."
Of course, Flint's attitude toward descending wasn't exactly one of reluctant resignation. His fears for Flint confirmed, Patrick Gordis told the Times, "Strava should not, even inadvertently, enable this kind of downhill dive bombing for time on open roads."
Eleven days after Flint's death, Strava announced that it would enable any member who had ridden a segment to flag it as hazardous, a designation that would eliminate its leaderboard. The South Park segment subsequently vanished—flagged by none other than CEO Michael Horvath. But the segment soon resurfaced, a loophole that can be achieved when users slightly alter the start or end point. Other descents (on Mount Diablo, for example) started showing up with names like "We Aren't Going to Flag This Segment Because We Aren't Sissies Wearing Dresses."
CLEARLY, STRAVA TAPS into some deep part of the brain—not just ancient competitive urges, but modern electronic ones. In search of a professional perspective, I contacted the Association for Applied Sport Psychology in Indianapolis, which referred me to Kristen Dieffenbach, an assistant professor of athletic coaching education at West Virginia University.
A PhD in exercise science with an emphasis on sports psychology, Dieffenbach—also a licensed elite-level USA Cycling and Level II endurance track and field coach, and an ultraendurance racer herself—says, "People were doing back-alley races long before Strava. A lot of people thrive on competition. The problem is when it's out of balance—when competition, as opposed to the experience, becomes the emphasis. As a clinical psychologist, that's where I get concerned."
Dieffenbach has worked with all sorts of professional, recreational, college, and high school athletes. Cyclists, she observes, "have more data at their fingertips than almost any other sport—all these external, extrinsic sources for how they're performing, which can make it easy for people to get in over their heads a little sooner than they're ready for. It's so easy to get caught up in that stuff. I'm not a neuroscientist, but I've done a good bit of reading on how our culture and electronics are processing information differently these days. You can't blame the electronics—it's not a causal relationship, but we live in a sitcom/solve-it-in-27-minutes culture, and when someone is high-performance driven, the immediate feedback of devices serves that need. People spend the whole time staring at their device trying to stay at 250 watts, and they lose touch with the intrinsic feeling of the ride. They can't even tell me: What did it feel like?"
When Dieffenbach reads about "how our culture and electronics are processing information differently these days," she could be referencing the work of Peter Whybrow. Director of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, and author of three books on the subject, Whybrow recently attracted attention for calling the computer "electronic cocaine"—a reference to the fact that, biochemically speaking, the brains of Internet junkies resemble those of traditional drug and alcohol addicts.
Most discussions of electronic addiction center on dopamine, the "feel-good" chemical the brain releases when we achieve a goal or anticipate positive news. Originally central to our survival (as a reward for things like finding food or having sex), today dopamine can be triggered by such diverse stimuli as music, chocolate, nicotine, gambling, getting e-mail, or uploading data to Strava.
Whybrow says the dopamine cycle—which is always involved with addiction—is driven by three things: curiosity, self-interest, and social competition. Strava, he notes, combines all three. "If you've narrowed the pleasure you get from a bike ride to a pure abstraction of how long it takes—if you're not interested in where you rode, how you're riding, or who you're riding with—that's exactly what happens with addiction," says Whybrow. Addicts are totally preoccupied with one small element: 'Where am I going to get my next shot?'"
In other words, electronic devices (and online social networks) are addictive because they connect with our most ancient instincts. "The primitive, central part of the brain is millions of years old," Whybrow says. "We're competitive animals because of the basic need to survive—we had to be attentive not only to novelty, but to getting there first to eat the fruit off the tree. Self-control comes from a different part of the brain—a more refined part, the prefrontal cortex or 'executive brain.'"
Basically, this is the part that applies the brakes and saves some of the food instead of gobbling it all up right away. The need for self-control, Whybrow says, hinges on "whether the environment is with you or against you." In cycling, for example, "If you're going uphill, gravity is a natural constraint—you don't have to use the prefrontal cortex. But when you're going downhill, gravity is working with the primitive part of your brain to kill you." Normally, the prefrontal cortex intervenes before we succumb to catastrophe—but in extreme conditions of competition, abundance, or addiction, concludes Whybrow, decision making "is reduced to a very small part of the brain."
All of which might explain what, two years after Kim Flint got killed, Chris Bucchere did in March 2012.
LIKE FLINT, BUCCHERE—who was 36 at the time and a husband, father, software engineer, gourmet chef, and mentor for disadvantaged kids—was a Strava enthusiast. ("How long before winning a Strava segment = getting a free coffee at Velo Rouge?" he mused on San Francisco's Mission Cycling Club news group on March 25, 2012.) But Bucchere was an experienced cyclist—he'd mountain biked as a teenager in the East Bay hills and joined the Stanford cycling team in college. He didn't belong to the 135-member Mission club, but one of his regular rides was that group's popular Headlands Raid, a spectacular dawn jaunt across the Golden Gate Bridge.
At 6 a.m. on March 29, Bucchere and a friend named Stephan Morais set out on that route. They turned around at Hawk Hill, with its sweeping views of the city and coast to the south, then returned via the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, parting company below the Haight Ashbury district, near the top of a hill where Divisadero Street turns into Castro and descends toward Market—a Strava segment then known as the Castro Bomb.
At about 8 a.m., while driving a Honda SUV south on Castro Street, a local resident (and frequent bike rider) named Nathan Pollak found himself leapfrogging down the hill with a cyclist who was riding a Stradalli Trebisacce racing bike. At stop signs and red lights where Pollak slowed his automobile to a halt, the cyclist flew through without constraint. In the last block before Market Street—a major intersection and site of numerous transit stops and rush-hour foot and vehicle traffic—the grade steepened, enabling the cyclist to pick up yet more speed.
"The light turned red before the cyclist hit the intersection," Pollak would later testify. "[But] he continued through. My jaw dropped...but to be honest, I wasn't surprised. He crouched down to push his body weight forward and intentionally accelerated."
Riding a Strava segment known as the Castro Bomb, Chris Bucchere hit and killed a pedestrian at this intersection. (Winni Wintermeyer)
Later that day, a person who identified himself as Bucchere on the Mission Cycling message board offered his perspective on what happened next. "The light turned yellow as I was approaching the intersection, but I was already way too committed to stop," he wrote. "The light turned red as I was cruising through the middle of the intersection and then, almost instantly, the southern crosswalk on Market and Castro filled up with people coming from both directions."
One of those people was Angelo Cilia, who later said that, entering the crosswalk after the walk signal came on, he heard a voice yell, "Hey!" followed by "a bone-crunching sound." Another pedestrian on her way to work, a young woman named Wen-Chih Yu, said she glimpsed a bike going "incredibly fast" before it ran into an elderly pedestrian crossing from the other side. "The old man didn't have a chance to put his arms out or anything," Yu said. "He flew and skidded into the pavement with his face."
"In a nutshell, blammo" was how Bucchere described the impact on the message board. "I couldn't see a line through the crowd and I couldn't stop, so I laid it down and just plowed through the crowded crosswalk in the least-populated place I could find. I don't remember the next five minutes but when I came to, I was in a neck brace being loaded into an ambulance. I remember seeing a RIVER of blood on the asphalt, but it wasn't mine. Apparently I hit a 71-year-old male pedestrian and he ended up in the ICU with pretty serious head injuries. I really hope he ends up OK…. Anyway, other than a stiff neck, a sore jaw/TMJ, a few bruises and some raspberries, I'm totally fine. I got discharged from the hospital during the lunch hour. The guy I hit was not as fortunate. I really hope he makes it. The cops took my bike. Hopefully they'll give it back."
Sutchi Hui—the 71-year-old pedestrian who had been on his way to Kaiser Permanente with his wife to pick up a pair of eyeglasses—was not okay. He died four days after being admitted to the hospital. Subsequently, Bucchere was charged with felony vehicular manslaughter, carrying a potential penalty of six years in prison. "Mr. Hui was a husband and father," said the San Francisco district attorney, George Gascon, "and he was killed because of a bicyclist's need for speed."
At ensuing Internet speeds, Bucchere became a cycling pariah. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition condemned him; the Mission Cycling Club disavowed association with him; through various online avenues he was the subject of death threats and, more commonly, character assessments such as "giant asshole" and "real douchebag."
And Strava again found itself connected to a controversial fatality. "As a Strava user, my first thought when I saw that he was using Strava was that he was trying to post the best time," One Thousand and One wrote on metafilter.com. "That stretch of Castro is, indeed, a marked segment, which is absolutely fucking stupid and likely encouraged in some small way his reckless behavior."
[ Related: Cycling Lawyer Bob Mionske on Bucchere ]
"Did he win that free coffee?" Ernest wondered on sfcitizen.com.
"Strava might get sued," said sfcitizen. "We'll see."
Strava did get sued—but not by the family of Sutchi Hui. The plaintiffs were the parents of Kim Flint, who, convinced by the Bucchere case that "enough is enough," filed a suit for wrongful death on the last day before the two-year statute of limitations expired.
IN THEIR LEGAL filing, the Flints sought to hold Strava accountable for general negligence. They said that the company "breached their duty of care by: (1) failing to warn cyclists competing in KOM challenge that the road conditions were not suited for racing and that it was unreasonably dangerous given those conditions; (2) failing to take adequate measures to ensure the KOM challenges took place on safe courses; and (3) encouraging dangerous behavior." They concluded that, had Strava taken the necessary measures, "Kim Flint Jr. would not have died as he did."
"The death of Kim Flint was a tragic accident, and we expressed our sincere condolences when it occurred in 2010," Mark Riedy, a spokesman for Strava (and a former editor at Bicycling), said in an official statement, "but we will defend the company vigorously through the legal process ahead."
I met the Flints in August 2012 near Jack London Square—just down the street from the Oakland bar where Kim had convened with friends on Friday nights—in the office of their attorneys, Richard Meier and Susan Kang. William Flint Sr., a white-haired former career naval officer (now a certified financial planner who also goes by the nickname Kim), was, like his son, a lean and slightly built but pugnacious guy. By contrast, his wife, Kathleen, was very quiet—rarely speaking at all, and then only to him in a whisper.
"She died the day my son died," Flint Sr. explained, adding that his wife hadn't been able to work in the two years since. "My contention is that if [Kim Jr.] had never discovered Strava, he never would have gotten involved in doing dangerous descents on South Park or anywhere else."
His head cocked at a combative angle, Flint Sr. declared: "Strava was responsible for the death of my son."
Kang sounded a more temperate note: "We're not saying he didn't assume any risk. It's a shared responsibility. But for Strava to say they have no part, they're lying to themselves." She said the aim of the lawsuit wasn't financial compensation, but safety—for cyclists and also for the drivers, pedestrians, and hikers whom she said Strava endangers with a new and uncontrolled kind of racing.
A young, fit-looking woman (and former clerk for the state bar association and San Francisco district attorney's office), Kang said she'd been a competitive runner since the age of 14. "We used to sign up and get a number," she reminisced. "The [entry] fee ensured that the race director would be responsible for safety—streets would be roped off and regulations would be followed. But now we have a different type of racing—an open-ended system of 'invisible' race promotion. To be relevant and competitive, you have to run stop signs and break the speed limit. In what other capacity is this allowable?"
Meier said Strava has "a responsibility to temper their outreach," and Flint Sr. suggested this could be done by eliminating leaderboards for downhill segments. "They might lose popularity," he said, "but they'd save lives." He added that, since his son had died, 21 Strava members had gone faster than Kim down South Park Drive.
Flint Sr.'s insistence that Strava encouraged his son's conduct was based in part on his belief that the company had alerted Kim when the South Park record was broken. He's mistaken. In 2012, almost two years after Flint's death, Strava did start sending messages announcing, "Uh oh! [So and so] just stole your KOM….Better get out there and show them who's boss!" (The company has since changed the alert to conclude by exhorting the vanquished to "Get out there, be safe and have fun!" And the current notice is sent only for segments with a grade of 0 percent or more—flats or ascents.)
Alerts aside, the fact that Flint's fateful KOM was taken from him by a Strava employee was provocative. Thus, in April 2013, Meier and Kang spoke with Pan Thomakos in a pretrial deposition. They learned, among other things, that Thomakos started working at Strava in August 2009; that he owns shares in the company; that as an employee he had been given a GPS device, but no one had asked him to ride his bike; and that since Flint's death, he had stopped using Strava to track his own rides.
Among the many things Thomakos said he couldn't remember (in response to questions) were whether he had ever ridden his bike on company time; whether he had ever held a KOM title; whether anyone at Strava had ever asked him about any specific segments; whether, in going through the entire history of his e-mail inbox, he'd found any messages referring to South Park Drive; whether that road had a posted speed limit; and whether he had ever gone faster than 30 miles per hour on it.
Thomakos did say that when Strava posts users' times, it doesn't account for safety, danger, stop signs, speed limits, or the fact that, to beat some KOM times, a rider would have to violate the law.
Collyn Ahart, a brand strategist, advertising planner at Wieden+Kennedy, and amateur racer, unpacks her complicated relationship with Strava.
Strava is a reason to push harder, to suffer more, to set and pursue goals. But it has also, on rides that I've been on, ruined a good patch of blackberries. On a segment, there's no pausing to Instagram that cute pony.
|The Guide/Taskmaster
When we travel to an unknown area, Strava is a wonderful navigational tool, and also uncovers overlooked local gems. But the more common outcome is that we ride the same segments week after week, mastering local roads at the expense of adventure.
|The Party Host/Jailer
A genuine sense of community and shared experience is generated by comparing times, efforts, and relative improvements. But this often doesn't translate into in-person interaction. The relationship we cyclists enjoy online seems to be just enough to keep us from seeking out and developing full, rounded riding relationships with each other in real life—the way we did when clubs and weekly group rides were mainly how we met with, and competed with, others.
|The Motivator/Frustrator
On the weekends, a stream of "Uh oh! Rachel Fastashell just stole your QOM" messages flood my inbox. Sometimes these notifications spur me to get out to those routes during the next week, but sometimes, especially when they interrupt an otherwise enjoyable Sunday evening, e-mails trumpeting someone else's success at my expense feel more dispiriting than anything.
MANY SUGGESTIONS HAVE been offered for how Strava could make the downhill segments safer. One is for the website to ascertain the legal speed limit on every segment and not post any user time that exceeds it. Another is to appoint regional ambassadors who set limits on KOMs, or simply prohibit segments that contain a net loss of elevation or traverse an intersection.
The day after I met the Flints, I put these ideas to Strava's CEO Horvath. At the time, Strava was in 160 countries instead of the 221 it is now; referencing the former number, he said, "We cannot monitor what's going on at the level of local riders—they have to do that. But we're starting to understand that we need to be proactive in getting that message out." In June 2012, Horvath created a new page on Strava entitled "Stand With Us," enumerating five guideposts: "We know the rules ('Cycling, running, and swimming are inherently dangerous'); We rest ('We don't burn ourselves out'); We kudo sportsmanship ('We are courteous and treat others with respect'); We think ahead ('If we don't want everyone to know what we're up to, we take the necessary privacy precautions before we upload'); We've got each other's backs ('Keep things safe for everyone by looking out for potentially dangerous situations and flagging segments as hazardous')."
When it comes to complying with speed limits, Horvath told me, "That's not something we're monitoring or tracking or have any data insight into." Downhill segments? "Descending is something we all do—it's part of cycling, it's part of racing. Is [the idea] that the world can't be safe with descending segments? [That's like] saying we shouldn't be doing any descents on our bicycle—that we should get off and walk down. I don't think that's true. You need to take responsibility and use common sense, same as when you're crossing an intersection or rolling through a stop sign. I'm counting on the cyclists to be responsible for their safety, and giving them a tool to do something about it—anybody who's ridden a segment has the ability to shut the leaderboard down if they're concerned that it's no longer safe."
STRAVA WAS REPRESENTED in the lawsuit by the firm of O'Melveny & Myers—an 800-attorney, Los Angeles-headquartered company with offices spanning from Brussels to Beijing, and clients that have included Goldman Sachs, Exxon Mobil, Bank of America, and former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling. Within a few months, they filed a countersuit against the Flints (later withdrawn, but initially based on the assertions that, on the day of his death, Kim Jr. had violated local traffic laws and, thus, the terms of his user agreement) and a motion for summary judgment—a request to have the case dismissed without a trial.
O'Melveny's attorneys based the argument for dismissal on four principles supported by legal precedent: that cycling contains an implied assumption of risk; that, when he joined, Kim Flint expressly assumed these risks by agreeing to Strava's terms and conditions (which included the words: "in no event shall [Strava] be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with… your use or misuse of the site"); that Strava had no control over Flint's activities, nor the situations and circumstances in which he rode, nor any knowledge of them before he uploaded data to the site; and that Strava was immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act (CDA).
The last refers to a landmark piece of federal legislation passed in 1996, originally to regulate pornography on the Internet but later amended to shield websites from suits that seek to hold them liable for content originating with "third parties"—i.e., users. According to Section 230 of this law, an interactive computer service cannot be treated as the publisher or speaker of information provided by an independent "content provider," even when the content proves harmful offline. But the Flints' attorneys argued that, unlike eBay or Amazon, content uploaded by Strava users doesn't contain opinions or evaluations.
"There is nothing dangerous in and of itself about GPS coordinates and data," said the family's lawyer, Susan Kang. "The danger and harm alleged in this case originates out of Strava's own actions in…manipulating it through its designed software into leaderboards, and then using those leaderboards to encourage cyclists to race at increasingly faster speeds for awards and titles."
Moreover, Kang argued, Strava's terms-of-service agreement constituted an unenforceable "adhesion contract," as potential users "had no power to bargain the Terms with Strava and, since it was on the Internet, had literally no one to bargain with." If affirmed, this would seem to invalidate every user contract for which any prospective website member has ever clicked "Agree."
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE Marla J. Miller nodded understandingly throughout Kang's courtroom presentation. Then, as soon as the lawyers had finished talking, she ruled in favor of Strava, dismissing the case on the grounds that bicycling implies an assumed risk. As Michael Rustad explains, in contemporary American jurisprudence, such a decision represents the order of the day.
The Thomas F. Lambert Jr. Professor of Law at Boston's Suffolk University, Rustad is currently completing a book on global Internet law. "Websites have no liability," he says. "If there's no possible legal sanction, even when use of a website results in death or injury, there's no incentive to be careful." Even if the case had gone to trial, Rustad says, the verdict probably would have favored Strava. "Assumption of risk is legally operative if the consumer understands a known risk [as Flint did]. Ski lodges require skiers to assume inherent risks, but no court would enforce a waiver if, say, the resort concealed concrete barriers or barbed wire close to the runs." Moreover, he says, it's a myth that juries are outrageously sympathetic to plaintiffs: "In reality, they're disinclined to make awards, because there's a blame-the-victim mentality in America. People think chowderheads get what they deserve—and that bicyclists are crazy anyway."
Obviously, no one has to do anything just because a social network encourages them to. For reasons that had nothing to do with Strava, Kim Flint and Chris Bucchere enjoyed risking their lives on bikes—and when doing so were able to ignore the peril in which they put other people. Still, it's natural to question whether the cyclists would have been as heedless if a website wasn't posting leaderboards that tacitly rewarded their downhill daredevilry. "The more I think about this, it's like Strava is creating a drag race," Rustad says. "[Strava is] not just posting what third parties do—they're organizing it. It goes beyond a passive display. A third party can't do anything with the data without the website, so Strava takes on many attributes of a content creator. Its [undifferentiated-skill-level] leaderboards are comparable to taking people from the bunny slopes up to the black-diamond run. Even ski trails are marked by degrees of difficulty."
IN AUGUST 2013, Chris Bucchere pled guilty to felony vehicular manslaughter in return for a sentence of three years' probation, sparing him from prison but requiring him to perform 1,000 hours of community service. After six months, a judge can reduce Bucchere's crime to a misdemeanor if he complies with the terms of his sentence.
Strava played no role in the proceedings, so neither Bucchere's case nor the decision in Flint v. Strava Inc. addressed the bigger issues overhanging both: the power of the Internet and the dangers of unregulated online competition. Cycling (which takes place on machines, after all) has always been tied up with technology, but as the cyberworld continues to evolve at breakneck speed, few can foresee how it will go on to affect not just this sport but every aspect of our existence—enhancing, invading, and sometimes ending our lives.
In that murky atmosphere, Patrick Gordis watched with dread as the virtual and actual trajectories of Kim Flint—"a test case for Strava," in the eyes of his friend Neal Trembath—merged in tragedy. "At some point," Gordis reflects, "you lose sight of the fact that on Strava you're not a video-game avatar who can endlessly respawn."

John Nelson's newspaper column has reached a lot of people over the years. "Mystery Plant," now printed in 16 newspapers and available on even more online outlets, has been a part of communities throughout the Southeast for more than a decade.
His descriptive text of a plant, typically indigenous to the Southeast and accompanied by a photo, is written in a style that invites the reader to guess the species, which is revealed at the bottom of the column. The column (such as this entry in the Times and Democrat) also offers readers the opportunity to submit plant photos, descriptions or specimens to USC's A. C. Moore Herbarium – where Nelson serves as curator – for free identification.
"In 2012, we had over 450 requests for plant identifications," Nelson said. "I don't get paid extra for it, it's just something I came up with. This herbarium is a part of the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences, and it should be doing its part in assisting the public."
Producers in public television have taken notice as well. Since 2008, Nelson has been a regular guest on South Carolina ETV's weekly "Making It Grow!" program, offering a video version of some of his most popular "Mystery Plant" columns.
Nelson sees providing outreach to the public as an important component of the university's mission. "Part of what we're doing here is showing that this institution is approachable," he said.
That outreach effort is on top of his full-time job, curating the dried, catalogued plant specimens carefully housed in steel cases in the herbarium, located in the Coker Life Sciences building. "Effectively, this is a plant museum, and we have almost 125,000 specimens," he said.
The herbarium, founded by Andrew Charles Moore in 1907, primarily contains plants from South Carolina, but it holds some international specimens as well. The mounting area includes stacks of samples which have been pressed and thoroughly dried, with each plant nestled between sheets of wax paper within folded newspaper pages that typically come from the city of origin. Sprinkled among pages from The Aiken Standard, The State and The Post and Courier, you'll also find newsprint written in German, Farsi and Vietnamese.
The herbarium is hardly a static repository. It serves as an essential scientific resource for its frequent visitors. Nelson himself uncovered a new species of Stachys (a genus in the mint family) through a careful examination of specimens in the herbarium and elsewhere. The first example was collected on the banks of the Santee River in 1977 and stored at the herbarium shortly thereafter. He's in the process of submitting the documentation to establish the species as an official entry in the scientific literature.
And given that he and his co-discoverer will be asked to submit the name for the new species, a properly timed release of the corresponding "Mystery Plant" column will make it a world debut.

This sample illustrates direct use of JDBC connections from a servlet. For details on outbound connection support see Connectors and Transaction Management (JDBC, JMS, J2CA, DataSource, Connection Pool, EIS). Generally direct use of JDBC is not advised unless you have performance constraints or need for dynamic jdbc (such as in a database browser) that make the use of JPA impractical.
This article is organized in to following sections.
The Inventory application in this article only supports three basic usecases of such applications.
The Inventory Web Application has following list of pages
The following figure illustrates the application flow.
Welcome page of the application acting as a notice board which displays current stock of each item. Through the Welcome page users can access Add Item, Receive Goods or Issue Goods Pages. Upon successful completion of each activity, the page will be redirected back to the Welcome page with updated stock information. Add Item helps to define items in the stock, then 0 number of items will be added to the stock. Receive and Issue Goods pages represent Goods Receiving and Issuing activities of the application respectively.
The Inventory application consist of following list of packages and classes.
The list of web application files in the application is depicted in the following.
|- jsp +- add.jsp +- error.jsp +- issue.jsp +- recv.jsp |- WEB-INF +- geronimo-web.xml +- web.xml |- welcome.jsp
This application defines a datasource with the help of the geronimo plan and web.xml deployment plans. The Geronimo plan from inventory-jetty or inventory-tomcat links the internal JNDI name "java:comp/env/jdbc/InventoryDS" to the sample database.
Following is the web.xml of the Inventory application. It declares the name "java:comp/env/jdbc/InventoryDS" used in ItemDAO to lookup the datasource.
The sample database that is being used to demonstrate this application is in-built Derby database. The name of the sample database is InventoryDB and it consists of two tables, namely ITEM and ITEM_MASTER. The fields for each of these tables are described below.
Table Name
The ITEM table stores the data related to the items while ITEM_MASTER stores the quantity in hand of each item.
To test the sample application, open a browser and type http://localhost:8080/inventory. The Welcome page of Inventory application which is acts as a notice board will be loaded.
The user can directly access Add Items, Receive Goods and Issue Goods functionalities from the Welcome page.

GSAS Federal Acquisition Service Names Kempf Acting Assistant Commissioner for Acquisition Management
February 1, 2008
Contact: Dirk Fillpot, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON –The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) today named Steven J. Kempf the acting Assistant Commissioner for Acquisition Management.
Mr. Kempf previously served within FAS as Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Integrated Technology Services (ITS), where he was responsible for GSA's information technology schedules, Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) and Network Services Program.
"FAS is fortunate to have dedicated leaders like Steve who help us provide best-value services, products and solutions for our customers," said FAS Commissioner James A. Williams. "Steve's outstanding leadership skills and knowledge will be key to increasing our customer support, ensuring that we have a great acquisition workforce, quality suppliers, and efficient and effective customer transactions."
Mr. Kempf replaces Michael S. Sade, who will become a senior advisor to John Johnson, FAS Assistant Commissioner for ITS. Mr. Sade will serve as a member of the ITS senior leadership team. With his in-depth acquisition knowledge and experience, he will help ensure that FAS integrated information technology and telecommunications offerings support customers' missions.
Mr. Kempf joined GSA in 1992, beginning as a marketing coordinator for the Office of Technology Assistance and the Center for Federal Systems Integration and Management (FEDSIM). He then joined GSA's regional program in California, where he was the technical chairperson for GSA's first GWAC. Mr. Kempf also managed projects for a variety of clients in the Monterey area. In January 2000, he returned to FEDSIM, where he served as a senior project manager, operations manager, and customer services director for DoD programs. Mr. Kempf was appointed Deputy Assistant Commissioner for ITS in 2007.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? FAS annual business volume of $46 billion accounts for more than one-seventh of the entire federal procurement budget. FAS manages acquisition programs that include information technology, telecommunications, furniture, tools, office products and supply items, and all travel, motor vehicle, and credit card services.

This has certainly been the summer of amazing craft sites! I'm so floored that the Internet is yielding up such amazing crafting resources. I was working on a crochet purse and the pattern called for some hand embroidery as an embellishment that I had absolutely no idea how to do, so I started searching!
And I found this site! It offers amazing tutorials on hand embroidery that takes you stitch by stitch with excellent instructions and photographs.
When you arrive at the site you'll find the latest tutorial on the main page, with a navigation menu above it, and navigation options to the right of the page. On the menu you'll find: Embroidery Home, Stitch and Stitch Families, Hand Embroidery, Reference, and Misc. If you mouse over these headings a drop down list will appear that will allow you to browse the options for that category.
On the side menu, you'll find links to the basic stitches that you need to master to really get started. If you click on the different stitch families under basic stitches, you'll find a listing of all the stitches that fall into that category. Just click on them to go to that tutorial.
I adore the Hand Embroidery section. You have to check it out, you'll find information on: Redwork, Pattern Darning, Zalakdozi, Kasuti, and Chicken Scratch. These are different types of embroidery. You'll get to see an example of what they look like, how and where they originated, the history of that particular style, and what stitches that style consists of. You'll even find instructions for how to try your hand at each style. I particularly loved the redwork (and the bluework). If you look under Reference and select Embroidery and Stitch Origins, you can see a map of the world with pins where each style is said to have originated! I thought that was pretty cool.
This is another great needlework site that I hope you'll enjoy! Check it out today!

Hi All,
I would like to ask a quick question, why is it that the vmwareImage(downloaded from this site btw) not have /pentest/framework3 instead it only has /pentest/framework2.
Also my fresh install from the ISO image has /pentest/framework3.
Doesn't impact anything that i can see, but im just curious as to why framework2 and not 3.
Hope, this post doesn't anger the gurus, google presented me with no answer so *cross fingers* hope someone can reply.
Thank you.
I am having the same problem, the member managed to solve the above? thx
As far as I know, framework2 , 3, etc will update (msfupdate) installing latest scripts...So maybe trying to update it and see the revision it sets in your metasploit...Why 2 instead of 3. Well, I really don't know, but if Metasploit 3 is in DVD, perhaps might be some incompatibilitie issues with VMWare, but need to check in wiki if info is available. Personally, having the "msfupdate" I wouldn't mind so much about version...
I have Metasploit in Debian Testing and latest revision, as of today is 15259.
Allow me to post what I got from the update:
=[ metasploit v4.3.0-testing [core:4.3 api:1.0]
+ -- --=[ 835 exploits - 469 auxiliary - 141 post
+ -- --=[ 250 payloads - 27 encoders - 8 nops
=[ svn r15159 updated 21 days ago (2012.04.21)
Warning: This copy of the Metasploit Framework was last updated 21 days ago.
We recommend that you update the framework at least every other day.
For information on updating your copy of Metasploit, please see:
msf > msfupdate
[*] exec: msfupdate
[*][*] Attempting to update the Metasploit Framework...[*]
And then it start to update all scripts and adding if not in your metasploit up to revision 15259....
You can see, the Metasploit Version and Revision....The relevant issue here is that scripts are updated.
Hope this helps...

The Breaking News Network thinks it can fix hyperlocal journalism with lots and lots of Twitter feeds (via Pando Daily) By Richard Nieva On June 10, 2013 Hyperlocal news is a cruel sector that has already taken down a number of contenders, famously including ones with corporate balance sheets. So when one company tries to […]
The Breaking News Network thinks it can fix hyperlocal journalism with lots and lots of Twitter feeds
Local Listings Spread — From One Site to Hundreds
One recurring theme at last week's Street Fight Summit concerned the ongoing project of creating, organizing, and aggregating data and content associated with location. As more consumers find SMBs via mobile applications (through search and other means), the objective of these companies is to deliver as much information about a business to apps and mobile searches as a […]
Social Media's Strength is Brand Advocacy
Two weeks ago, I wrote about how social media was best used for brand marketing but not for driving transactions. Monday's WSJ article "Now on Twitter: Holiday Shopping Deals" illustrates how some retailers used Twitter on Black Friday to nurture conversations about their brands. But it also pointed out that brand reps remain unclear about whether those interactions really translate […]
Four Hyperlocal Trends to Watch in 2013
2012′s rush to capture the hyperlocal audience has begun to wane as the reality sets in that while the online SMB market is huge and untapped, it remains hard to get those mom and pop outfits to spend money on newfangled marketing methods. Last year's intense start-up activity has pointed to four trends going into […]
What Kinds of Mobile Ads Are Most Effective?
Mobile advertising has long been trumpeted as the next big thing, with analysts touting a new global channel of smartphones and tablets now ready to push more-relevant targeted ads to happy consumers. The problem, according to a new Forrester survey, is that consumers just don't like mobile ads: "Two-thirds of respondents found them annoying, higher than the […]
SMB Social Media Is All About Branding, Not Conversions
Social media marketing has long been criticized by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for its inability to deliver a quantifiable return on investment. And as IBM's Black Friday 2012 report pointed out, hardly anyone purchased anything on Black Friday via a social media referral: Shoppers referred from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube generated […]
How SMBs Can Take Advantage of the Holiday Shopping Season
With the holiday shopping season starting this week, small businesses more than ever need to position themselves as go-to purchase destinations over big retailers like Walmart and Amazon. Here is a primer on what SMBs should expect the first week of the holiday season. Black Friday According to Aprimo, showrooming, the practice of comparing online prices […]
Hyperlocal Retail Directories Go After 'Shop Local' Consumers
Online commerce not only competes on price with local retail these days, it's also curating and recommending products like the department store buyer once did. Fab.com and Etsy have succeeded by facilitating the discovery of well designed products by small retailers and artisans to a mass audience. The upcoming Facebook Gifts product will recommend gifts to Facebook friends when an event, […]
TurnHere Becomes Local Photo/Video Marketplace SmartShoot
Since the Yellow Pages first appeared in 1883, consumers have been conditioned to search for local service providers they need. Today's online review tools and directories like YP.com, Angieslist and Yelp have made finding highly rated providers easier, but the businesses still need to be contacted one by one. Meanwhile, new consumer demand apps like Zaarly and Taskrabbit are changing the fulfillment process by having […]
Extending User Reviews to Places, Block by Block
We've become used to reviews of establishments on web services like Yelp, but there are also a number of hyperlocal services that have popped up to allow users to rate neighborhoods and create profiles around subsections of their town or city. One such service, Block Avenue, launched last week with an offering that gives locals the […]

An unintuitive consequence of conditional probability.
wow, had something to say at the end there too, couldn't hear what was said, no sound. was it audiable?
Very disrespectful at the end in my opinion
Yeah bit of a douchebag at the end and looked pretty average through the fight. I reckon he was at his best when he fought hendo in London.

An unintuitive consequence of conditional probability.
He did look a bit tubby, his heart has gone from the sport, went a long time ago - probably right Cyrus, can't remember him really standing out much after then... Massively downhill after the police chase etc, heads gone up his arse.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Was the police chase after the Forrest fight? The only time he looked semi decent after that was when he ko'd wand. Think he'd rather be in front of a camera than getting punched in the face now.
An unintuitive consequence of conditional probability.
Once he got a taste of the A team is was obvious that he didn't want to fight anymore.
the fake pro wrestling stuff with King Mo in the post fight interview was cringe worthy. Not cause I hate that stuff necesarily, but it was so obviously scripted.

Related: Lance Armstrong admits doping to Oprah | Lance Armstrong stripped of Olympic bronze medal
If Lance Armstrong was supposed to be coming clean, why do we feel the need to head to the shower?
Maybe the tears will come in Part 2. But any remorse that viewers might have expected from the disgraced seven-time Tour de France cyclist were not to be found in the opening act of Thursday night's 90-minute interview with a surprisingly tenacious-at-times performance by Oprah Winfrey.
But then, coming in with the understanding that Armstrong has made a living on lying that borders on what some may categorize as socio-pathetic, any admittance of guilt beyond the standard questions of whether he took performance enhancing drugs and bullied former teammates and members of the media since the mid-'90s came was probably wishful thinking.
With a calculated stare and occasional nervous laugh, Armstrong stayed in character with his body language and held strong to what he wanted to get out in public - perhaps simply one of those many "character flaws" he also admitted to possessing.
Although admitting at one point that he appeared to be an "arrogant prick" when watching a video of himself from years past, Armstrong was mostly evasive when it seemed as if he might take the moment to shed more light on the hierarchy of how he and teammates doped during races.
Winfrey was the one at the top of the show who explained that this was a mutually agreed upon "no-holds-barred, no conditions, an open field" discussion, taped Monday in an Austin, Texas, hotel room but edited for air some 72 hours later. That may have been her first mistake.
A live sit-down would have made for a far more compelling TV show. But that's just not how she operates.
Another hour's worth of probing will come tonight on Winfrey's OWN channel - including a question teased by Winfrey where she asks what he's supposed to say to the millions who continue to wear his foundation's yellow "Livestrong" bracelets as they fight cancer.
Will that be enough to make anyone want to come back for more?
Possibly. But it depends on what you're looking for.
On a night when Winfrey was not sympathetic and going soft, she started with a series of "yes" or "no" questions that got Armstrong to address the elephant in the room, having him immediately admit to taking banned substances and partaking in blood doping.
Winfrey constructed the show by adding many taped segments as points of context to help tell the story of Armstrong's past, then address that with him for his opinion on what went wrong.
One of the most interesting confessions was when Winfrey confronted him about his bullying, to which Armstrong agreed that he "tried to control the narrative." In this instance, that was pretty evident he was still trying.
Finally, he did admit to something the audience could agree with: "I'm not the most believable guy right now."
Part of Armstrong's bullying admission was a discussion on how he reacted to those who questioned his doping - in particular, Betsy Andreu, the wife of former teammate Frankie Andreu.
Armstrong admitted to having a 40-minute conversation recently with her to clear the air, and saying he did refer to her as "crazy" and a "bitch" but he "never called her fat" as she accused him.
That led to perhaps the best TV of the night after the fact, when Betsy Andreu appeared on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" show and maintained a disgusted look and tone in trying to sum up what she believed after watching the Armstrong interview.
"It's hard to know what to believe now, you know?" said Andreu, who has testified that Armstrong admitted to cancer doctors in a hospital room in 2006 that he did take performance enhancing drugs.
"Lance can still redeem himself if he will tell the truth, again, one more time, but he's got to meet with U.S. Anti Doping Agency, meet with WADA and he's 100 percent honest, truthful, tell them everything because there's no way he pulled off the biggest fraud in the history of sports by himself."
Enough people will likely tune in again tonight to see just what kind of honest answers are left in Armstrong's warped arsenal.

Eclectic and versatile, Enrico's interests have ranged from electromechanics to professional skiing. At twenty-eight, he married French born Carmen Puthod, prima donna of Milan's celebrated La Scala; at thirty, he was a father; at forty, a country gentleman in Tuscany; at forty-four, a hit.
In a way, being a newcomer in the wine world was instrumental to his success: Enrico started from square one, unburdened by prejudice and past mistakes; supported by expert advice at first, and by such classics as Gayon and Peynaud. He was actually one of the very first to introduce temperature control in Vernaccia di San Gimignano production, and his state-of-the-art technology soon set the pace in the appellation.
Today, he has achieved a perfect balance of depth and cleanliness; of fruit, complexity and barrique; of tradition and international appeal - and, thanks to his revolutionary, minimal temperature treatment of musts, exceptional continuity in quality, whatever the vintage.

About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Poll: Obama's approval among blacks plummets—to 84%
posted at 10:18 am on September 8, 2011 by Howard Portnoy
A newly released Gallup poll reveals historic lows in President Obama's job approval rating across three key demographic groups. Among the nation's largest such group, whites, his approval is at 33%—25 points off his post-election high of 58%. Among the second largest ethnicity, Hispanics, his numbers have dropped even more precipitously, from 75% in January, 2009, to 48% in August of this year.
So far has Obama's star fallen since he rode to electoral victory on the twin promises of hope and change that his approval among his most loyal constituency, blacks, has tied its all-time low. Having once enjoyed a supernal job approval rating of 92%, Obama now gets the nod from a merely unprecedented 84% of blacks.
Either the members of this ethnic group is the most astute political observers ever, or they are judging the president based on the color of his skin. With black unemployment at its highest rate in 27 years and no indication that that statistic is likely to change soon, one is drawn to the strong likelihood that race is the operant variable.
This is in not to suggest that "home team pride" is not a factor in all of us. Nor is it to dismiss wholesale the possibility suggested by Algernon Austin, director of the Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy program at the Economic Policy Institute, that "racial discrimination in the labor market continues to play a role."
Yet, as sports fans know, you support your coach only so long as he leads the team to victory. When he stops performing or fails to live up to expectations, you demand that the GM start shopping for a replacement. When will black "fans" grow weary of Coach Obama?
