This means a considerable amount of research and planning must be undertaken by the hobbyist to solve specific problems associated with placing a computer in a mobile environment.
Below is a list of things that a carputer can (possibly) do. This list is by nature never complete.
Why would anyone want a computer in their vehicle?
The answer can be summed up in one word:
ConvenienceThis may seem contradictory, considering that computers require a good deal of maintenance in order to maintain stability. There are software updates, new hardware, the occasional system crash, and other aspects of computing that make it far from convenient. The goal of every vehicle computing hobbyist is to minimize the need for all of these, and there are a variety of approaches to do so.
The convenience comes in when you have a centralized system for all the functionality you want from your PC, as opposed to multiple gadgets for each function. A single PC can provide music file playback, DVD playback, satelite radio, GPS navigation, diagnostic information from the vehicle (usuall OBD-II), internet access and hands-free cellphone operation. In order to achieve all that with individual products, you'd need a high-end audio/video system, a GPS system, a satellite radio receiver, a scan tool for diagnostics, and a device capable of internet access such as a PDA or a laptop. The PC will usually be cheaper than all the gadgetry involved for all that functionality, not to mention you'll have central control of all the functions, ideally through a safe driver-friendly interface.
Show cars are increasingly using computer control for many systems, including operation of mechanical systems such as power windows and locks, actuators to open hatches or doors, and so on.
One of the favorite responses among CarPC hobbiests when asked what ll they can do with their CarPC:
Anything you can do with a desktop computer can be done with a vehicle computer.The only limits to what you could have your carPC do are in your own imagination.
Typical system
A typical Carputer system is composed of four parts:
- Machine
- Laptops / Notebooks
- Apple / Macintosh
- Windows
- Linux
- Displays
- Interface Hardware
- Power
The machine is the heart of a carputer system. Based on budget, enthusiasts can easily incorporate and install essentially any computer. Back in 1999 - when hardware prices were still pretty high and laptops were thousands of dollars, the first carputer systems were based on hardware such as 233 MHz desktops. Prices have come down so much on small form motherboards that even those on a budget can build a small machine for little money. There is a growing market of used carputer hardware for sale - which helps the beginner afford a system and learn the ropes.
In 2007, many carputers run at CPU speeds in excess of 2 GHz. Typical memory varies from 512MB to 1GB. As always, performance and flexibility will be a function of the available processor and memory resources.
However, there is a point of diminishing returns here. As a user, you will need to ask yourself if that 3.4GHz Hyper Threaded processor is going to gain you any benefit in the car. You will have to figure out how to cool it adequately and how to power it since CarPC power supplies are not all that powerful at this time.
The machine can run on any platform including Apple / Macintosh, Windows, Linux, or even DOS.
You have to be able to command your carputer system. Preferably, this process should be as easy as possible. Initial carputers (pre-2000) typically used LCD or VFD character displays to interface and play music. Commands were typically sent to the carputer by means of a keyboard. Not far after the initial advent of the carputer, many people started using a wireless serial port remote to control their machines. This was about the time that small TV screens became affordable. The majority of the first (affordable) carputer screens were RCA video input only, not VGA input. To learn about the differences between VGA and RCA screens, please see this FAQ.
This awkward phase of sub-par display devices was frustrating to the carputer community. Users had difficulty justifying $1000+ for a VGA Touchscreen, and for the most part, screens that nice were rare or just unavailable. Modern screens are leaps and bounds better than those of just a few years ago.
The most common modern-day screen that people use is the 7 inch VGA touch screen. One of the issues that still make these screens less than ideal is daytime visibility. Now even solutions to this problem are surfacing. There are transflective options as well as other enhanced screen options. This is sure to improve at a rapid pace as the demand for more viewable daytime screens increases.
Interface Hardware
In addition to the touchscreens, many other options exist to interact with a CarPC in a manner that does not distract the driver from the most important task - keeping the car on the road.
Wireless keyboards are commonly used in the CarPC environment to manage and maintain the system.
Other alternatives for control involve the use of either IR or RF connected remote controls for hands-only, driving-friendly control.
Another notable mention, although technically a software more than hardware, but a very versatile & popular interface option is Girder, which will allow almost unlimited control integration of hardware to software control. It will allow you to custom program a remote control, or integrate many different possibilities of hardware button controls, from a custom built button interface using anything from a keyboard matrix to a simple keypad. Girder is worth checking out if you are after custom controls.
Once you have your machine and your displays a long with all of the other gadgets that you want for your carputer you will need some way to power it.
It all comes down to two options:
- A power inverter
- A DC-DC power supply
Your other option is to use a DC-DC power supply (such as a M2-ATX) which will allow you to connect the 12 volt DC power from your car to your computer. Most DC-DC power supplies have other features such as an ignition switch which will turn your computer on when your car is started and will send a signal to go through a soft shut-down process or put the computer into stand-by or hibernation. Most of these DC-DC power supplies also incorporate an amplifier turn-on signal which is timed to not send a turn-on signal until the CarPC has alredy started the boot-up process. This feature is usually configured to prevent amplifier turn-on thump which can not only be very annoying, but can also damage your speakers.
To learn more about the various DC-DC power supplies, you can read in this fourm: PSUs. You can also purchase many of these power supplies here on our very own MP3Car.com store.
Considerations in Choosing Hardware
Space Availability
There is a limited amount of space available in any vehicle for installation of any additions. For a computer installation, "smaller is better" is the general rule. The smaller form factors of motherboards and systems make popular choices for vehicle installations. Not only for space, but for power requirements and for heat generation.
- Pico-ATX
Pico-ITX motherboards are new to the market and are now the smallest motherboard avaliable on the market. With a form factor of only 4.5" X 3.3" (10cm x 7.2cm) these boards are ideal for vehicles with little space. You can read up on this form factor here.
- Nano-ITX
Nano-ITX motherboards are another small form factor. As with all small-sized electronics, they are more expensive. Due to the limitations of the small size, they are also lower in computing power compared to a typical desktop PC. Nano-ITX motherboards measure 4.8" X 4.8"(12cm X 12cm). You can read up on this form factor here.
- Mini-ITX
Mini-ITX motherboards are small enough to fit in a standard DIN-sized dash opening. Via makes a range of motherboards with built-in CPUs that range in speed from 600mhz to 1.5Ghz. There are also models that will accommodate a P4 CPU. They measure a little less than 6.7" X 6.7" (17cm X 17cm). You can read up on this form factor here
- Micro-ATX
Micro-ATX motherboards are designed to mount in a case designed for its larger ATX counterpart, yet still be smaller in size. The official specification calls for a maximum size for 9.6" X 9.6" (24.4cm X 24.4cm), although many are not as large as the maximum specification. Micro-ATX motherboards exist for any CPU manufactured.
- Flex-ATX
Flex-ATX motherboards are an addendum to the micro-ATX standard. They will mount to a full-size ATX case, but the specification calls for a maximum size of 9" X 7.5" (22.9cm X 19.1cm). Like Micro-ATX motherboards, there are models to accommodate any CPU on the market.
- Shuttle
Shuttle brand motherboards and PCs do not fall into any of the form factors above. They utilize their own mounting scheme for motherboards and cases. There are Shuttle models that are compatible with every CPU manufactured. A Shuttle form factor motherboard measures just under 8" X 8" (20.3cm X 20.3cm). It is important to note that Shuttle also manufactures motherboards in other form factors such as MicroATX and ATX.Heat Dissipation
Heat is the enemy of all electronics. Keeping a computer cool is necessary in order to keep it stable and trouble-free. Computer components generate heat that must be be removed from the general vicinity of the component(s). Generally, lower-power hardware generate less heat, but it still must be dealt with to ensure stable, reliable operation.
Power Consumption
There is a limited amount of electrical power available in a vehicle and there is a limited amount of power avaliable through the currently avaliable DC-DC power supplies. As such, the amount of power drawn by the PC must not overload the vehicle electrical system or DC-DC power supply so that the important systems of the vehicle will be able to operate.
Computing Power
Every task a computer performs utilizes CPU cycles and memory. The faster the CPU goes through the cycles, the faster the task will be performed. For a vehicle installation, the CPU needs to be able to perform all of the processing tasks required in the vehicle. Some tasks, such as DVD playback and video recording, require a good deal of CPU speed, while other tasks such as music play back and internet access do not.
One of the more common motherboards used in vehicle installations, the EPIA M10000 by Via, has a 1Ghz C3 CPU and is adequate for most vehicle tasks.
Obviously, faster CPUs will result in faster performance.
Other Aspects of a Carputer Install
Most motherboards include on board sound. They can range from 2 channel up to 8 channels depending on the motherboard. Some include SPDIF (COAX or Toslink optical out) as well. You can however upgrade your sound card to achieve better sound results or to do features that on board sound cannot do. You should plan ahead and figure out if you only 2 channel, 4 channel, 5 channel, or more depending on how you want to control the speakers in your car. A common question that arises is:
Should I use onboard sound or an upgraded PCI or external soundcard?

But Mayer did tell investors Monday that the varied content is "exciting" and will allow Yahoo to "reach a far wider audience."
Mayer claims that Fritzl, who had three other daughters, "chose this daughter for this role."
"If translation weren't as good we wouldn't be able to do it," says Mayer.
Now, Mayer Michael Bloomberg wants to outlaw the product, citing environmental concerns.
A monster, Mayer says, would have let the cellar babies die.
Then he developed rather a tedious theory of the best side of the face and proceeded to experiment on Mayer.
Mayer and Kennedy dismounted from the horses and left their care to the others.
Jerry Kennedy was seated to one side, the only member of Mayer's team who had accompanied him for this meeting.
Mayer leaned forward and tapped his assistant emphatically on the knee.
It is generally held that the first choice lies between Joule and Mayer.

I am really sorry to pull out of my fight between David at the next FX3 event. I was really looking forward to the fight and after having 3 people drop out on me this year made it even harder to drop out, but I have not been able to train how I needed to.
I hope you get an opponent and I hope the show goes well.

I think they should just make it flat out illegal to prevent a carrier from activating a third party device on their network.
Sprint has no right to gripe that they could not activate unlocked iphones. All they needed to do was allow the foreign ESN into their system and be done with it.
I am a sprint customer and love sprint. I am excited to think they will finally received the jesusphone but c'mon sprint. Stop crying foul on something you had complete control over.
something about those iPhone images seem different... and its not the Sprint logo
Isn't this Apple's fault?In the suit Sprint claims AT&T and Verizon, as "Twin Bells", were able to use their size and market share to secure "market advantage with the iPhone, and have been able to lock many customers into two year contracts with the iconic device." Sprints inability to cary the phone, even unlocked iPhones, caused a great deal of defection from the ranks of Sprint's customer base.
Where did that picture come from? Both cameras look different compared to the iPhone 4. The back one is tiny. The buttons look much slimmer. I don't see any separations in the antenna band. And there seems to be a volume rocker.
hopefully tmobile gets it as well. Even if they do I will wait to see how the plan prices go. Anyone else notice the 64gb on the back of that iphone? Not saying that it is the next iphone but I kind of like it. Its got a kind of matte finish to it.
thats right but you cannot really feel bad about it now, I mean remember the apple website displaying the iphone months before its release, they were getting overload traffic because people just wanted to stare at the iphone and tell other about it.
i mean that should have been a hint, if these carriers knew how the end product was and how the community was going to react with it like att did, then its solely their fault.
Even verizon faced facts before the iphone 4 launch.
I bet they did sue. What choice do they have? They have crap devices and a customer base made almost entirely of people with wrecked credit. Problem, Sprint? Besides, they'll be lucky if they don't end up property of VZW within the next 5 years or so...
So let me get this straight...MetroPCS will activate a CDMA iphone no questions asked but Sprint refuses to so now they're suing AT&T(obviously we all know they're a GSM carrier)? Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

WATCH: Navy tests new electromagnetic rail gun that fires at 7 times the speed of sound
The phrase "faster than a speeding bullet" just took on a whole new meaning.
"An electromagnetic rail gun is a gun that uses just electricity -- no gun powder -- and, oh, by the way, can shoot a projectile like this, well over 100 miles at Mach 7," said Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder, the Chief of Naval Research, which developed the rail gun. "Seven times the speed of sound."

The simplest apricot glaze is apricot preserves. Melt the preserves in the microwave oven or on the stove, then strain out the fruit pieces and use according to recipe instructions. To keep fruit looking fresh on top of a cake, start with good quality fruit that has no blemishes or soft spots. Then, wait as long as possible to place them on the cake.

In the lives of today's home buyers, their smart phone or tablet offer a control panel for almost every aspect of their lives, from holding digital movie tickets to monitoring when kids get home from school to offering reminders for their weight-loss program. So it shouldn't be surprising that customers are increasingly expecting the same out of their new homes.
Fortunately, tech manufacturers have developed a wide array of offerings that make it possible for builders to offer comprehensive digital control of everything from the thermostat to the blinds, all from one place.
Technologies that used to sound like something out of The Jetsons are becoming increasingly available. You can build homes with smartphone or tablet-control functionality—today.
Forgetting to close the garage door has become a thing of the past, because Liftmaster's MyQ Technology allows users to control the garage door, access gate, or interior lighting of their home from a smartphone.
With Nest, users can control their existing thermostat from their smartphones or tablets. Their site claims installation takes less than 30 minutes and it offers a compatibility check tool to see if it works with an existing system.
Want to add control over even more appliances and home fixtures? SmartHome might be the place for you, offering users apps to control lights and various home appliances in addition to the thermostat. Check out their home automation apps for Android and iPhone users.
Ever wanted to rig a house with a completely wireless stereo system that could be controlled from a central hub—an iPhone or tablet? Meet Sonos. This stereo system isn't like others in that it is connected to a Wi-Fi system that can be controlled from, you guessed it, your tablet or smartphone. No wires mean that a house-wide system could be set up and controlled with ease.
So, as we snuggle up on the couch and light our iPhone controlled fireplaces, let's not forget that we can use our phones to call people, too!

2012-13 GCAA Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA – The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) has announced its 2012-13 Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar recipients for the 2012-13 academic year, and for the second straight year University of Pennsylvania men's golfer P.J. Fielding is on the list. He is one of 152 players at the NCAA Division I level who met the GCAA's demanding combination of playing in at least 50 percent of his team's competitive rounds; holding a stroke average under 76.0 for the year; and boasting a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2.
A recent graduate of Penn and captain of the golf team in 2012-13, Fielding was in the lineup for all but one tournament in 2012-13 and finished the year with a 74.5 stroke average in 21 tournament rounds. He was Penn's low scorer or tied as low scorer three times as a senior, including the Ivy League Championships where he tied for second overall to earn his second straight first-team All-Ivy certificate. Fielding also was individual medalist at the Rehoboth Beach Fall Invitational, hosted by Penn, and tied for 10th overall at the Yale Spring Invitational.
In addition to being a GCAA All-America Scholar each of the last two years, Fielding earned Academic All-Ivy and Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area this spring.

All ages have fun at Kirkwood run
September 5, 2012
Kirkwood held its 32nd annual 5K and 10K Adventure Trail Run on Saturday and all ages came out to show off some speed. The morning opened with a 1-mile and a half-mile fun run for kids.
The kids run was followed by the 5k, which was dominated by the younger runners taking the first five places. Patrick Duffy, 17, was first in 21:51, while Lindsey Adams, 14, was second overall in 22:35. Tony Moore, 40, was master's winner in 23:49. The women's master's winner was Stephanie Welch, 43, in 25:37. The youngest competitor was 6-year-old Luca Hines in 30:05. The oldest was 70-year-old Robey Willis in 43:12.
Run At a Higher Level was the theme of the 10K, climbing from 7,800 feet to 8,500 feet in elevation. Ross McMahan, 42, was first in 44:45. He also ran a new course record in the master's division, breaking his record of 45:07 set in 2010. Krista Meyers, 29, was the first woman in 58:11. Kim Taitano, 46, won the women's master's title in 1:07:48.
The races were presented by the Tahoe Mountain Milers Running Club, and proceeds went to the Kirkwood Volunteer Fire Department.

John Pinette Dead at 50
Comedian John Pinette was found dead in his hotel room Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh. He was 50. The larger-than-life comic had been battling weight issues for many years, and Pinette's own doctor has confirmed that heart disease was the cause of his untimely demise.
John Pinette was from Boston and commonly made self-deprecating jokes about his struggles with his weight, even titling some of his comic releases: "Making Lite Of Myself," "Show Me The Buffet," "Still Hungry," and "I'm Starvin'!"
Beyond comedy, John had also appeared in films like "The Punisher," "Junior," "Duets" and "Dear God." He was also part of the final episode of Seinfeld.
This was one funny, funny man who we'll all miss very much.

Once you're ready to tackle Italian research, civil records (stato civile) of births, marriages and deaths are your best bet — they're the most readily available Italian record group on this side of the pond. And you may be able to reconstruct whole families in one fell swoop: One document often lists two or three generations. For example, birth records (atto di nascita) typically name the baby, father, mother and both grandfathers. Sometimes record-keepers added information in the margins about the child's marriage or death, including the date, volume and record number for the event.
Marriage records (atto di matrimonio) give the couple's names, ages and occupations; their parents' names; and the dates the banns were posted. Death records (atto di morto) name the deceased plus his spouse, parents and, possibly, minor children. Unfortunately, the records generally don't give causes of death.

I just purchased RHC over the weekend and Monday was my sister's birthday. She requested banana cake so I made Banana Refrigerator Cake with Dreamy Creamy White Chocolate Frosting and it was AMAZING! The cake was so unbelievably moist! I decided to slice it in half and turn it into a layer cake and it worked out perfectly. I doubled the frosting recipe and had just the right amount—"dreamy" is right! This was the best frosting I ever had! I also put fresh sliced banana in between the layers and a few on top.
Everyone at the party raved about the cake and couldn't believe how flavorful it was. I was crazy about it too but I'll only admit here that I thought the lemon flavor in the cake was sliiiiiightly overwhelming—not sure if i used a little too much or if it's just a matter of personal taste. Still an awesome cake!
Excited to share a pic… Can't wait to make my next Rose cake

One of the most iconic animals of the Galapagos Islands is the Giant Tortoise.\u00a0 Charles Darwin wrote of this tortoise in his famed report, Origin of Species, published 150 years ago this month. The differences between the tortoises from island to island were instrumental for Darwin\u2019s development of his theory of natural selection.
And while Darwin used a notebook for his observations toward explaining his theory of evolution, research tools have gone through their own evolution.
Recently, scientists have begun using one of those modern innovations to study the natural behavior of wild Galapagos Tortoises. \u2013 the cutting-edge technology of the National Geographic Crittercam.
As famous as these animals are, surprisingly little is actually known about their day to day behavior. And while it might seem simple to attach a camera to a slow moving tortoise, the Crittercam team ran into plenty of obstacles.\u00a0 These creatures are used to bulldozing their way through low-lying vines and branches. And with their strength, when the camera mount gets snared on a branch, the mount gives way before the tortoise gives up.
Crittercam inventor Greg Marshall and Associate Kyler Abernathy were invited to the Galapagos\u2019 Darwin Research Station by Dr. Steve Blake of the Max Planck Institute. Blake is coordinating a research partnership with the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation.\u00a0 The researchers are conducting extensive studies of the behavior of Galapagos tortoises in the wild\u2026 all in the efforts toward conservation of the species.
SOUNDBITE:\u00a0 Stephen Blake, Max Planck Institute
\u201cThis tortoise was around when Lincoln was alive\u2026 probably. And to have the ultra-high tech of the Crittercam meet a 150-year-old animal is quite something. And to get this real-time video on a poorly understood and poorly known animal is just fabulous.\u201d
Blake\u2019s team has outfitted several tortoises with GPS monitoring devices. But location is only one part of observation. The Crittercam will provide much needed data on what the tortoises are actually doing as they roam.
Harvested for meat and oil beginning in the 18th century, and preyed upon by introduced predators, the tortoises suffered a steep decline in numbers.\u00a0 Today, several of the living Galapagos tortoise species are listed as endangered and all are under strict protection.
This video was recorded from the back of a tortoise called Lolo on Santa Cruz Island in May of this year. The Crittercam team hopes to return soon with an improved camera system that can survive scrapes in the wild, and help in the survival of this threatened species.", "id": "crittercam-galapagos-tortoise-missions-vin" } }

text: Oct 4 4:15 PM ET By Dan Graziano | ESPN.com Here's another silver lining from the Dallas Cowboys' miserable Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears: They weren't whistled for one single false-start penalty in the entire game. Hey, I'm trying here. As you can see from Todd Archer's penalty breakdown, the false starts were a major problem in the first three games of the season. Left tackle Tyron Smith was called for five, right tackle Doug Free for four and tight end Jason Witten for three. That's an average of four false-start penalties per game, which is basically handing your opponent 20 free yards per game, and so it's a good thing that the Cowboys' linemen weren't as jumpy Monday as they had been. (Though it does bear mentioning that, as you may have heard, there were different officials in place for Game 4 than there were for the first three.) Anyway, I'm getting away from my intended point, which I think is that the Cowboys' offensive linemen were a little bit steadier in at least this one aspect of their play Monday. And as awful as the Cowboys' offensive line has been this year, lines do tend to improve as the year goes along and they play together. In general, they seemed to get decent push in the run game on the left side, though still nothing on the right side with Free and Mackenzy Bernadeau. And the pass protection certainly had its moments, which it didn't in either of the prior two weeks. The Cowboys' line has a long, long way to go, but any signs of improvement have to be considered encouraging.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Announcing EYEBEAM 2013 Fall/Winter Residents
We are thrilled to announce the 2013 Fall/Winter Residents! Since the organization's founding in 1997, Eyebeam has supported over 250 artists and technologists through its residency and fellowship programs. Residents are provided with funds to complete a specific project during five-month residency cycles in the fall and spring; Fellows are selected based on a body of work and given 11 months to develop their practice. These select artists form the core of Eyebeam's community by generating new work and interacting with the public, resulting in a critical examination of social, political and aesthetic implications of technology.
In our Fall/Winter 2013 Residency Open Call, we focused the residency program on a single line of inquiry: What is most important now; what does technology mean today; and how can it be creatively used and misused to expand notions of what is possible? As with all Eyebeam Residency programs, this Residents' call supports innovative works that aim to positively change cultural relationships to new technologies.
The 2013 Fall/Winter Residents are:
Chris Woebken and Sascha Pohflepp – This project is interested in the question of whether we are living in the only universe possible or whether our experience of causality, time and agency in our world is just a fluke among all the possible universes. Woebken and Pohflepp will work with physicist Janna Levin to introduce another world into ours by creating and materializing other universes.
Ebru Kurbak and Irene Posch – Knitted Radio is an imaginative experimentation using textile technology and conductive fibers to craft a sweater that is also an FM transmitter with the intention to create debate about marginalized producer and user groups as well as alternative manufacture economies.
Wyatt Niehaus – A documentary film short concerned with the broader implications of industrial automation and how it is already coming to shape our culture in very immediate ways. The film will use as its core anecdote a factory in Japan operating under a "lights out" framework. Creating a documentary piece that takes into account the lineage of post-Ford assembly line models of production, the work will examine a specific method of production that has its roots in science fiction and is now seeing real world implementation.
Zach Blas – Informatic Opacities is a queer/feminist research project that explores themes of control and resistance around rapidly developing forms of surveillance and policing, such as biometrics and data-mining, through a mask-making workshop, a critical dystopia installation, and a surveillance teach-in.
The review team was comprised of Patricia Jones, Eyebeam Executive Director; Marko Tandefelt, Eyebeam Director of Research and Technology; Roddy Schrock, Eyebeam Director of Programs and Residencies; Ben Fino-Radin, Manager of the Digital Repositories, MoMA; Hrag Vartanian, Hyperallergic Editor; Laurel Ptak, Eyebeam Fellow; Stefani Bardin, Artist and former Eyebeam Resident; Brad Troemel, Eyebeam Fellow; and Jonathan Minard, Eyebeam Fellow. The team reviewed a total of 189 applications for these four positions.

The company has manufactured more than 3,600 units -- comprising the original Big Bass Wheel and Big Bass Wheel Pro line extension -- since the title's debut in 2008.

Associated Press
SCHLADMING, Austria — The U.S. ski team announced Tuesday that Lindsey Vonn will miss the rest of the reason after tearing ligaments in right knee on Tuesday.
Vonn crashed during a super-G at the world championships and was taken to a hospital by helicopter.
This is the sixth straight major championship in which Vonn has been hit with injuries. This crash comes almost exactly one year before the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
The four-time overall World Cup champion lost balance on her right leg while landing after a jump. Her ski came off immediately, and she slid off course and hit a gate before coming to a halt. She was treated on the slope for 12 minutes before being going to the hospital.
Vonn trailed race winner Tina Maze of Slovenia by 0.12 seconds shortly before the crash.
The race, which was postponed for 3 hours because of fog, resumed after another 15-minute delay. Several racers struggled with the conditions.
"It's not a very difficult course but in some parts you couldn't see anything," Fabienne Suter of Switzerland said.
Vonn is building a long list of medical mishaps. Two years ago, she pulled out midway through the last worlds in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, because of a mild concussion. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Vonn skied despite a severely bruised shin to win the downhill and take bronze in the super-G.
At the 2009 worlds in Val d'Isere, France, she sliced her thumb on a champagne bottle after sweeping gold in the downhill and super-G, forcing her out of the giant slalom. At the 2007 worlds in Are, Sweden, Vonn injured her knee in training and missed her final two events.
And at the 2006 Turin Olympics, she had a horrific crash during downhill training and went directly from her hospital room to the mountain to compete in four of her five events.

PHILADELPHIA – Penn field hockey held its annual team banquet recently, handing out its annual awards.
The Gail Lipstein Award is given to the team's most outstanding freshman. Elizabeth Hitti dictated play in her first year in Philadelphia, and was one of just five players – the only freshman – to start all 17 games. Hitti was a two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week and earned honorable mention All-Ivy honors. The freshman led the team with three game-winning goals, tied for team lead in assists (6), tied for second on the team in goals (6) and was third on the team with 18 points.
The Ashland, Mass. native won her first Rookie of the Week award after her collegiate debut against Lehigh on Aug. 31 – she scored one goal and assisted another in the 5-2 win over the Mountain Hawks. Hitti put together two outstanding performances just a few weeks later, scoring two goals in a 4-3 win over La Salle on Sept. 19 and notching one goal and an assist in a 4-3 win over Harvard on Sept. 22. Those back-to-back performances earned her a second Rookie of the Week award. The attacker also helped Penn defeat Villanova on the road for the first time since 1994 on Oct. 24 by scoring the game-winning goal.
The Diane Angstadt Award is given to the team's most inspirational player. Sarah Hasson dominated in her final season at Penn and earned honorable mention All-Ivy recognition for the second time in her career. The senior played in all 17 games, starting 10, and led or tied for the team lead in almost every offensive category. Hasson led the Quakers in points (22) and shots (49), and tied for the team lead in goals (8) and assists (6).
The Warrington, Pa. native highlighted her season on Sept. 22 when she led Penn to a 4-3 victory of Harvard. Hasson scored two goals and assisted another, which resulted in her being recognized as the co-Ivy League Player of the Week on Sept. 25.
The Anne Towsend Award is given to the team's most valuable player. Junior co-captain Julie Tahan received this award, and it was well deserved after she earned second-team All-Ivy honors this past season. This was her second-career team award, as she won the Gail Lipstein award in 2010. The Morristown, N.J. native was one of just five players to start all 17 games and tied for the team lead with eight goals – notching a goal in each of Penn's first four games. Additionally, Tahan was second on the team in points (20) and shots (44), tied for second in game-winning goals (2) and tied for third with four assists.
She had several highlights throughout the season, beginning with her two-goal performance against Towson on Sept. 2 when she scored the game-winner in the 4-3 victory. Tahan made the difference in a 3-2 win over Yale on Oct. 20, assisting on the first two scores, and putting the game-winner in the back of the cage herself. Against another Ivy rival, Brown, on Oct. 28, the junior assisted on Penn's only regulation goal, and then netted the game-winner in overtime for the 2-1 win over the Bears.
Penn has continued its upward trend under head coach Colleen Fink, and these three players can be looked at as significant reasons. The Quakers have also added three more players for the 2013 season, and will look to improve on its best record since 2006.

How would I slow down pbs_mom, I tried putting a sleep command in my pbs script and as Luke suggested "ls $HOME", no dice. Do I need to edit the pbs_mom daemon? I guess another hack would be to mount (via: cd nfsdir) the nfs dirs on the compute nodes, but then after the automounter timed out or reboot, I would be in the same situation. Or to hard mount the nfs dirs (do not want to do this!!) Appreciate your help.

Religion and Marriage: What Happens When You're Not On the Same Page?
I want to believe, but my husband doesn't.
-Melissa Chapman, marriedmysugardaddy.com
We just celebrated the Jewish New Year, and try as I might to ignore my husband's insistence that all religions are clearly bunk, it's causing some stress. Religion, to him, means that you spend your whole life devoted to a deity you have no proof even exists. He feels I need to come to terms with the undeniable fact that death is The End.
My husband is a scientist — he believes in evolution; he believes in only what he can touch and see and what science can uncover. He wasn't raised in a particularly religious way. He's what we call a "Yom Kippur Jew", AKA a person of the Jewish faith who wears one of those pink yarmulkas he's fished out of his wedding yarmulka collection from the 1980s (when he was a big on the "I'll be an usher at your wedding so I can meet a hot chick who will drink too much and who has wedding fever clouding her judgment about who she'll agree to share a hotel room nightcap with" circuit) and steps foot in a synagogue on that one day to acknowledge in some small way the heritage into which he was born.
On the other hand, I was raised in a very religious household and attended some serious religious school programs. And whether it's the guilt of having been, as my husband terms it, "fed more religious propaganda," or because as a kid it feels good to have this belief that there is a larger presence presumably taking care of me, I bought into this whole Jewish faith and for a while it was what sustained me.
Read Hope for the Awkward: Easily Embarrassed People Are Better At Relationships
Unfortunately my husband, during our 14 years together, at least as I see it, has never been able to find any solace or comfort in a god that he cannot be certain exists. And I have to admit I have been struggling with my own religious identity too, especially in the wake of my dad's death which felt too sudden and so senseless.
It used to be when my husband would present arguments for taking our kids out of their religious private school, I could retort with a litany of reasons to keep them in, But since my dad passed, I admit I'm finding it harder to counteract my husband's culled straight from science / the diehard evolutionists belief that this earth, this world, as crazy as it may feel, is really all we have. That there is nothing after this … and so all these religious celebrations, regardless of which god you subscribe to, are ultimately meaningless.
I am trying hard to keep going to keep holding on, to see this new year as a way to reaffirm my belief in a higher power and wanting desperately to believe that my dad is up there, smiling, watching and finally free of pain.
What do you think? Do you have the same religious beliefs as your mate? How does it affect your relationship?

Anquan Boldin is back from Africa, he's taken his physical, signed his contract and officially joined the 49ers. Next on his to-do list: track down his new starting quarterback and begin building rapport.
This week, Boldin said he called Colin Kaepernick, who is training in Atlanta, as soon as he returned to the United States from a charity mission in Senegal. Getting on the practice field together, Boldin said, is the next step if they want to have chemistry for the 2013 season.
"That's something that doesn't just happen overnight," Boldin said. "Anytime you see a quarterback and a receiver on the same page, that means they've spent time together. So that's something I want to do."
While he had an excellent connection with Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco last season in Baltimore he caught four touchdown passes in the playoffs Boldin said that process took a while.
"It took probably a year for us to get on the same page and for him to have complete trust in me," Boldin said. "So hopefully, me and Colin can get together and try to shorten that window."
Around the league
Ravens • Houston signed punter Shane Lechler, who is leaving the Oakland Raiders after 13 years. The 36-year-old Lechler is the NFL's career leader in gross average per punt (47.3 yards). He grew up in nearby East Bernard, played at Texas A&M and now lives in Richmond.
Bengals • Cincinnati signed former Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Johnson to back up Andy Dalton. Johnson signed with San Francisco last year but was released before the season opener.
Bears • Chicago signed veteran safety Tom Zbikowski, who played for Indianapolis last season.

University becomes 'drive-in' force in flu preparation
At Carolina, beautiful fall weather means students reading on blankets and throwing Frisbees at the Horseshoe. This year, it also means students, joining faculty and staff, in getting flu shots at one of the university's many outdoor flu clinics.
On Oct. 1, the university's Thomson Student Health Center launched its latest outdoor flu clinic – a drive-through clinic to administer seasonal flu shots – in the parking lot across from the Colonial Life Arena. University health officials gave flu shots at the location from noon – 7 p.m.
"The outdoor flu clinics have been very successful," said Dr. Deborah Beck, executive director of the Thomson Student Health Center. "We've administered 200 to 450 shots at each one we've held."
Beck said the university decided to hold the outdoor clinics to raise awareness of seasonal and H1N1 flu, to make getting flu shots more convenient and to reduce the spread of flu by not crowding an indoor space.
Beck said 3,500 of the university's 5,000 seasonal flu vaccines have been administered. She said staff members hoped to give upwards of 600 vaccines at today's drive-through clinic. She said because campus participation in the flu vaccine clinics has been so positive, the university ordered an additional 1,500 seasonal flu vaccines, which are expected to arrive soon.

2013 135is vs 335is
I currently have a 2008 135i with the M sports package(or whatever it was called in 2008).
I like my 135i for the most part but with it had some additional features such as comfort entry, navigation and ipod integration.
Been doing a little looking and it doesn't seem there is that much difference in lease price between the 135is and the 335is due to the differences in residual value.
I went to the dealership today to see what they had and ended up driving a 335is and a 135i because they didn't have the 135is on the lot.
I am still pretty torn after driving both cars because there were pros and cons to both. Also, since I did not actually drive the 135is I am merely speculating what it would be like.
Here are my thoughts after the test drives.
The 135i seemed a lot more nimble and responsive. However, my biggest concern here is that is just not that different than the car I have now. I mean there are clearly some improvements but very, very similar. Not sure how different the 135is is but I am not expect a huge difference.
The 335is was nice. Much smoother than the 135i and more comfortable but not quite as much fun to drive. Also, I know it is a small thing but the cup-holder bothers me because I usually have a small bottle of water with me and I am fairly certain it will fall out of the cup-holder.
At the end of the day, both were nice cars but I am torn on which I prefer.
So I thought I would reach out to the experts here and get opinions on which you prefer and why.
I test drove a 335is before I got my 135i... and honestly it came down in the end to the fun factor. Although the 135i (and by extension the 135is) is a smaller car and definitely a little more "rough and ready" when it comes to sound deadening and ride, I definitely found it more lively and fun.
I've not driven the 135is yet, but I imagine it's pretty similar to my 2012 135i but with more power. So differences you may or may not be aware of;
Hope that helps... the 335is also a great car, but I just found the 135i more of a "grin-factor" car, and the 335is just wasn't worth paying the price of a Hyundai over the 135i for another inch of legroom in the back for me
Oh... and the cup holder works great actually, presuming you mean the one that's off to the side of the center console when you have iDrive. The center console ones are OK but I prefer to have an arm rest... I have bottles of water often in mine and drive like a maniac... works great

Los Blancos maintain a ten-point buffer ahead of Atletico after demolishing Los Boquerones, which saw six different scorers for the home side, and two red cards for the visitors
Goals from Raul Albiol, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Karim Benzema, Angel Di Maria and Luka Modric wrapped up the win for Los Blancos, who showed no signs of letting up despite Barcelona securing the league title.
Albiol gave his side a dream start after merely three minutes, heading home a Modric corner at the back post, but initial good work was undone when Malaga replied with its own set piece conversion twelve minutes later, as Roque Santa Cruz escaped his marker at the back post to tap home a flick-on.
On 21 minutes, Ronaldo was tugged down by Malaga's Sergio Sanchez in the visitors' box, resulting in a penalty for Real and a red card produced for the Spaniard. Despite stepping up assuredly, Ronaldo saw his penalty effort saved brilliantly by the toe of Willy.
The mood inside Bernabeu was to change only minutes later, as Ronaldo made no mistake from an indirect free-kick from ten yards, blasting the ball into the top right corner - despite debatable positioning from both the Malaga wall and goalkeeper.
Just after the half-hour mark, it was three for Los Blancos, as Malaga fell victim to the trademark Real Madrid counter attack. Mesut Ozil was threaded through on goal by Gonzalo Higuain, before chopping nicely inside Antunes and sliding the ball past Willy.
Malaga was not be be counted out of the game before the half time whistle, however, as Antunes found the net from a surprisingly advanced position. After being laid off by Javier Portillo, the left-back cut inside before unleashing a right footed drive into the top corner, leaving Diego Lopez with no chance.
A forced change of goalkeeper proved to make no difference to the first-half onslaught of Jose Mourinho's men, as Ronaldo toyed with substitute Carlos Kameni, before squaring the ball for Karim Benzema to tap home unmarked in first half stoppage time.
The second half started in a different vein to the first, as Real began to press and exert its dominance as a result of its extra man, but goals and clear-cut opportunities were not forthcoming.
Despite a 20-minute lull, the away side couldn't stay resilient, and it was five for Real on 64 minutes. The tireless Modric picked up a goal for all of his good work, finding the inside of the post with a long-range strike.
Things went from bad to worse for the visitors in the 73rd minute, as Martin Demichelis was shown a second yellow for bringing down Ronaldo, halting the Portuguese international's mazy run, meaning that Malaga had to battle on with only nine men.
Di Maria ended the rout in style in second half stoppage time, firing a low drive into the bottom corner, despite Kameni's best efforts to get down to his right.
Mourinho reaches the 80 point mark in style, and his Real Madrid side moves ten points ahead of rival Atletico with only three league games left to play.
