You don't use the PC app with it? There's an update option on the front page. Also setup is much, much easier on the PC. If the software is that old you'll have to redo the helicopter setup though. A lot of the options were changed and new stuff added like swash leveling at min/max collective and as a result you need to redo everything. It definitely flies better with the newer software than it did with the old software from when it had the tipping problem (not that it was bad then, it's just better now). They also changed the left and right piro stop (now called Piro brake) settings so they make more sense. (the way they were before was misleading and people were setting it backwards)
LOL , I did use the computer . There is no way i could use the dots to figure it out. I got it when it first came out and never touched it after i set it up . I figured it was a small issue and after it took off it flew perfectly .
The last time i flew it was before the cold and snow hit . That was my first crash with it too after 20 flights . I lost rudder for some reason and landed it but while landing i hit a small bush . The blades tipped over but nothing damaged , inspected what happened , everything was working normally . Put it down took off from the crash site and flew it back home . Still don't know what happened that day and it worked another 3 flights that day . As far as flying it anymore , i still don't trust it as much as a flybar . |
Just got my first set of carbon fibre blades. $7 from hobby king can't beat that.
I had been running a set if woodies after I crashed the stock fibre glass set. They needed so much tape to balance them they still weren't perfect and made a horrible sound. I hovered in the back yard and wow! No vibes! Nice and smooth. I can't wait to try it out at the park. Bring on the head speed! |
Alright, I didn't listen to some of the recommendations here and started with a clone. Namely the 450TT Pro V2 Flybarless kit from Hobbyking, along with a Typhoon something motor, 45A YEP ESC, 2200mah Zippy Compact lipo, stock blades and so on. I use 2.2kg metal geared cyclic servos and a 3.5kg 0.07 sec metal geared tail servo, can't remember the model numbers right now. I've got a Tarot ZYX-S FBL controller on the way.
Is there anything I need to think about before I put it together? Linkage lengths? I know people say the Trex 450 manual is what you want, but I've read elsewhere that not all rod lengths are correct and so on I haven't gotten far... Two of the servos have been installed, the tail has been assembled and so on. Small problems so far.. Not many really. Torque tube wasn't perfectly straight, I had to bend it slightly to make it wobble less. Seems acceptable now. Wouldn't hurt to have an extra bearing in the tube, but you can't buy just the bearing. Screws and nuts, no loctite on anything, none whatsoever. I've put loctite on one side already, I'm letting it harden before I loctite the other side of the frame. Amazingly, the main gear assembly doesn't wobble and appears to be just fine. I've heard some bad things about the main gears so I ordered 3 extra before I noticed that this one is actually fine. As for spares, I just ordered extra linkages, another torque tube, main gears, front TT gears (rear gears are out of stock, will order later), extra main blades, tail blades, tail tube and so on. |
My list of stuff, for those interested:
Hobbyking YEP 45A (2~6S) SBEC Brushless Speed Controller Turnigy Typhoon 450H 2218H Heli Motor 3450kv (450 class) Turnigy TGY-113MG Metal Gear Digital Servo 2.2kg / 0.10s / 12g HK-732MG Coreless Digital MG/BB Servo 28g / 3.5kg / 0.07s HK450 size Pinion Gear 3.17mm/11T (Align part # HZ052) HK-450TT PRO V2 Flybarless 3D Torque-Tube Helicopter Kit (Align T-Rex Compat.) |
Nice setup. i bet it will fly really well. I hope you ordered the progcard with the YEP. You really need it.
I dont think "the TT wobbles lees now" is anywhere near acceptable. you really need your mainshaft, tailshaft and TT dead straight to keep vibrations from ripping your heli apart in just a few flights. (not exaggerating here) |
Alright, will do.
Now, there are some things I'm unsure of right now.. I've seen a lot of talk about pitch settings and whatnot. I know that at mid-stick the pitch should be zero, no matter the mode. I'll aim for +/- 12° for the main blades when idle up is on. Now, the tail, is there anything I need to do to set up that thing properly? As far as I know it can't be at 0° pitch when the heli is at a high enough RPM to fly. (Or when at idle-up) Is this something I have to adjust mechanically on the servo by adjusting the servo arm? Or is this trimmed in software? What about endpoints, are those adjusted in software too? I dont want this thing to bind, obviously. As for the servo horn/arm, this servo comes with a fairly large selection of servo arms. Regulat servo arm, cross-arm, a disc and so on. I'm not really sure which hole to put the ball link on. On the cyclic servos I used the second outermost hole. (16 mm out from the center unless I'm mistaken) |
12° is quite a lot. If your new 10° is plenty to begin with. For the tail 5° of tailblade pitch at 0° collective is a good start. Just follow the ZXY pc program setup. it will give you a good idea of what to do. Max out the tail servo travel and see what point on the servo horn is best, then screw it on. The round horn closest-in hole is generally good for me. reduce tailservo throw in the pc software if it binds at the ends.
There is a link in the ZXY topic 1st post where i explained it all in detail. |
Alright, 12° is what I see all over the place. Crazy 3D is not something I'll get into anytime soon, if ever. Helicopters just seemed like a nice sidestep from multirotors that I've been using for a while now. I feel like I have to explore every part of this hobby, there's always something new to do!
Anyhow, thanks for the help! This should be enough to get me started. I won't get the FBL controller until next week or so. I'll do what I can until then. |
Pitch curves & autos
It's simple enough to set up your pitch curves to use only 10 degrees. If you intend to do any autos, however, I would set up the collective range in the gyro to -12 to +12, in which case 10 degrees of pitch would amount to a hair over 80% pitch.

Looks like something wrong with LSAPI protocol, PHP size does not like the request received. What your setup? OS? 32bit 64bit? LSWS version? LSAPI version? PHP version?
The OS is opensolaris x86 (32bit) litespeed version: 3.3.23 std lsapi version: 5.2 (did not work with 4.8, 4.10, 5.0, or 5.1 either) php version: 5.2.12 Most of the testing I've done on this 32bit opensolaris (intel). However, I also tried it on 64bit solaris 10 (AMD) with the same results. As mentioned earlier in this thread, PHP 5.2.9 was the last version that worked, so I don't think it's necessarily a lsapi thing. I am positive that if I recompiled 5.2.12 with lsapi 4.10, it would still not work.
Can you try 4.0.12 std? Maybe it is caused by PHP changes in the build configuration for solaris, generate code with incompatible byte alignment. What is the compiler used?
The compiler is gcc 3.4.3 I don't think I should upgrade to 4.0.12 to fix this problem. The reason? Because on my production site, the spawned lsphp processes are shared between 3.3.23-std and 3.3.15-enterprise. I probably could get up to 4.0.12 on the standard server (I already tried but had to drop back down to 3.3.23 due to that follow symlinks permission problem), but I am stuck on 3.3.15 on the enterprise server since my 1-year support ran out. So if upgrading fixes the PHP problem on the std server, it'll break the enterprise server. Hopefully that was clear...both servers use remote external php. The enterprise lsws balances between 2 php servers and the std lsws is actually located on one of the php servers and shares the lsphp children processes.
Okay, the ancient GCC appears to have been the culprit. It basically took me all night to get gcc 4.4.3 installed on this opensolaris server, but once I did, and recompiled php 5.2.12 + lsapi 5.2, it started serving PHP right away. I'll try the same approach on the production servers. Maybe this is a good warning for a wiki? GCC 3.4.3 is the compiler issued with opensolaris (amazing, isn't it?), so this might be a problem that someone else runs into as well.
Bingo! That's what I suspected. You may want to try the updated 4.0.12 package see if the symlink issue is still there, we have addressed a few related issues. The older release wont receive any bug fixes any more.

Sonic ReducerRat Wakes Red Energy Garage (Rat Disk)If a band releases an EP slightly longer than a commercial break, each song had better be pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, indie-pop group Rat Wakes Red only hits it out of the park once in four tries. The title track is a murky, slow but satisfying folk tune that thrives on layered melodies and graceful melancholy. The other three lack the refinements of Energy Garage and come off as whiney, ho-hum attempts at catchy alt.pop. It's worth a trip to the iTunes store to grab the record's one success, but anything further is ill-advised. (SM) Gray Beast The Album That Killed Its Parents (Self-released)When Oh, Ranger! faded from the Albuquerque music scene in 2003, members Lucas Spider and Boyd Reno followed different music (and geographic) paths. Three years later, Boyd and Lucas joined forces to record Boyd's brainchild, The Album That Killed Its Parents. What they assembled is a synth-rock fusion of electronic noise, soul, R&B and '80s pop that Oh, Ranger! fans likely wouldn't connect with the defunct band. The Album is playful and well produced, full of quintessential teen angst and raw human emotion on the softcore side of rock. Gray Beast's album better be the first of many. (AD) Various Artists Tango Around The World (Putumayo)As a general rule, you can't go wrong with world music label Putumayo, and this release, with its referential liner notes written in three languages and varying tangos from Africa ("Dimba" by Ousmane Touré from Senegal), Europe ("Estrela da Tarde" by Liana from Portugal) and South America ("Kangastus" by M.A. Numminen and Sanna Pietiåinen from Argentina), only proves that point.

The award-winning show about the dysfunctional Bluth family returns Sunday, seven years after its demise. The revival coincides with Netflix's own resounding comeback from a customer and shareholder backlash that had raised doubts about the company's management and future. Now, Netflix Inc. is winning back subscribers and investors with a bold attempt to establish its $8-per-month service as a home entertainment powerhouse that rivals the broadcast television networks and premium cable channels such as HBO The next step in that bid comes with the return of "Arrested Development." All 15 new episodes of the series will be simultaneously released at 12:01 a.m. PDT Sunday (3:01 a.m. EDT). Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

National Institutes of Health (January 24, 2011): Technology Gives Scientists Peek Deep Into Brain
Researchers have been able to see changes deep within the brains of living animals at the cellular level. The advance could provide an important tool for understanding diseases and disorders of the brain, including substance abuse and addiction.
Researchers can't currently study tissues in deep brain structures of a living animal with conventional light methods because light can't penetrate them. To overcome this, a team of scientists at Stanford University led by Dr. Mark Schnitzer set out to develop a way to use microlenses that can be directly inserted into brain regions of interest. Their work was supported by NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The reseachers described their technique, called time-lapse fluorescence microendoscopy, in the early online edition of Nature Medicine in January 19, 2011. They surgically implanted permanent guide tubes with their tips just above the areas they wanted to look at. They focused on 2 brain regions, the hippocampus and striatum.

In psychology, frustration is an emotional state, with a variety of causes:
- Instinctive behavior has been prevented from expression, or
- drives have been increased through inactivity, or
- Expectations have not been met.
Frustration is a common emotional response to opposition and is the antithesis of satisfaction.
Related to anger and disappointment, it arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of individual will. The greater the obstruction, and the greater the will, the more the frustration is likely to be. Causes of frustration may be internal or external.
In people, internal frustration may arise from challenges in fulfilling personal goals and desires, instinctual drives and needs, or dealing with perceived deficiencies(such as a lack of confidence or fear of social situations) or . Conflict can also be an internal source of frustration; when one has competing goals that interfere with one another, it can create cognitive dissonance.
External causes of frustration involve conditions outside an individual, such as deprivation or a blocked road or a difficult task. While coping with frustration, some individuals may engage in passive–aggressive behavior, making it difficult to identify the original cause(s) of their frustration, as the responses are indirect. A more direct, and common response, is a propensity towards aggression.[1]
To the individual experiencing anger, the emotion is usually attributed to external factors that are beyond his or her control. Although mild frustration due to internal factors (e.g. laziness, lack of effort) is often a positive force (inspiring motivation), it is more often than not a perceived uncontrolled problem that instigates more severe, and perhaps pathological. An individual suffering from pathological anger will often feel powerless to change the situation they are in, leading to and, if left uncontrolled, further anger.
it can be a result of blocking motivated behavior. An individual may react in several different ways. He/she may respond with rational problem-solving methods to overcome the barrier. Failing in this, he/she may become frustrated and behave irrationally. An example of blockage of motivational energy would be the case of a worker who wants time off to go fishing but is denied permission by his/her supervisor. Another example would be the executive who wants a promotion but finds he/she lacks certain qualifications. If, in these cases, an appeal to reason does not succeed in reducing the barrier or in developing some reasonable alternative approach, the frustrated individual may resort to less adaptive methods of trying to reach the goal. He/she may, for example, attack the barrier physically, verbally or both.
Frustration can be considered a problem–response behavior, and can have a number of effects, depending on the mental health of the individual. In positive cases, this frustration will build until a level that is too great for the individual to contend with, and thus produce action directed at solving the inherent problem. In negative cases, however, the individual may perceive the source of frustration to be outside of their control, and thus the frustration will continue to build, leading eventually to further problematic behavior (e.g. violent reaction).
Stubborn refusal to respond to new conditions affecting the goal, such as removal or modification of the barrier, sometimes occurs. As pointed out by J.A.C. Brown, severe punishment may cause individuals to continue nonadaptive behavior blindly: "Either it may have an effect opposite to that of reward and as such, discourage the repetition of the act, or, by functioning as a frustrating agent, it may lead to fixation and the other symptoms of frustration as well. It follows that punishment is a dangerous tool, since it often has effects which are entirely the opposite of those desired".[2]
Psychoanalytic viewEdit
In psychoanalysis frustration is viewed in both a positive and negative light. On the one hand it is seen as part of a chain leading to neurosis in the sense that as we have seen frustration leads to aggression, which in turn is postulated to lead to anxiety and the operation of defence mechanismsetc. [3]. On the other hand frustration is seen as aiding in ego development as people develop the ability to tolerate the feelings it arouses.
Optimal frustrationEdit
In self psychology, When a selfobject is needed, but not accessible, this will create a potential problem for the self, referred to as a "frustration" - as with 'the traumatic frustration of the phase appropriate wish or need for parental acceptance...intense narcissistic frustration.'[4]
The contrast is what Kohut called "optimal frustration"; and he considered that, 'as holds true for the analogous later milieu of the child, the most important aspect of the earliest mother-infant relationship is the principle of optimal frustration. Tolerable disappointments...lead to the establishment of internal structures which provide the basis for self-soothing.'[5]
In a parallel way, Kohut considered that the "skilful analyst will...conduct the analysis according to the principle of optimal frustration."[6]
Suboptimal frustrations, and maladaptations following them, may be compared to Freud's trauma concept, or to problem solution in the oedipal phase. However, the scope of optimal (or other) frustration describes shaping every "nook and cranny" of the self, rather than a few dramatic conflicts.
In animalsEdit
In animals frustration is said to occur in situations where instinctive behavior is thwarted.

A study of the problems of childhood. We will examine the meaning of "abnormal behavior" within the developmental context, the nature of research in child disorders, psychological assessment, the causes and treatment of disorders such as autism, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, learning disability, mental retardation, and conduct disorders. It is recommended that students also enroll concurrently in the fieldwork component of the course (PSYC 358) for an additional 3-credits as there is no substitute for actual work experience with disturbed children in order to gain an understanding of the emotional problems of childhood. Students may, however, take the Childhood Disorders course without taking the fieldwork course. Fulfills the requirement for a psychology elective.

Does anybody know if there is such a thing? We moved to Austin, Texas last August, and were misled by the mortgage company we contacted, so now we are grasping at straws. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Sneezy.
Hi Sneezy,
Honestly I've never heard, but I have a sister in law that is mortgage loan officer here in Texas. I can ask, but honestly I'd be surprised if the answer were yes.
I'll let you knowwhat I find out. I'm emailing her right now.
Hi Sneezy,
Color me surprised
My sister in law says Yes, there is such a thing as a home loan to parents of a child with a disability such as Autism. However it applies if the parents are buying the house for their adult disabled child. Meaning parents can buy a home for their child for to live in, and it is considered an owner-occupied loan rather than investment property which is at a higher rate and requires more money down.
If you are in the market for a home loan and want someone that is honest and knows what theyre doing I can refer you over.
If interested drop me a line at email@example.com

Hunter stands for comfort and quality - no compromise. The collar from the Capri series is made from the finest soft Nappa leather and the striking red colour really draws the eye. The top quality materials make it extraordinarily comfortable. The underlayed smooth leather is very soft. Also the leather edges both inside and out are folded and rounded. The careful workmanship makes the collar particularly gentle on your dogs fur and skin. Since the D-ring and sturdy buckle are integrated into the leather layers of the collar the surface remains smooth and doesnt leave pressure marks on your dogs skin. Also beneficial is the narrow spacing between the metal parts. This prevents the buckle from catching on your dogs skin while pulling on the lead.

Ever since I got a muslin cleansing cloth from Eve Lom's line with my goop-themed Birchbox, I have been converted to the idea of using a cloth to wash my face. Up until October, when I decided to give the Eve Lom muslin cloth a whirl, I was all about using my hands, which have worked just fine. In fact, they are my most prized beauty asset, using them to wash up, apply and blend foundation and concealer and smother my skin in lotion and oils. Hey, they work and they're FREE.
But once I used the cloth, I knew why women liked to use a little "extra" when washing their faces: because it gives you a nice manual exfoliation that you just can't get with your hands and for those of us who wear makeup, it helps loosen up the last bits left after you've used makeup remover.
The problem I have with the muslin cloth and wash cloths though is that they're abrasive. At least for me. If I used it each time I washed, I noticed that after a couple of days, my skin started to dry out and feel irritated. Not good. So back to the hands it was….that is until I remembered that Luxe in Hoboken carried One Love Organics' shammy. I read up on it and decided that the worst that could happen would be that I hated it and wasted only $12 (considering some of my other wasteful past beauty purchases, like Creme Ancienne from Fresh at $200, this would be nothing).
One Love Organics' website describes the "My New Best Friend" shammy as, "unlike the rounded threads of ordinary cotton cloth, which just push dirt along the surface of the skin, the numerous wedge-shaped fibers of microfiber actually capture particles of oil, bacteria, dirt and grime from your skin and pull them into the internal structure of the cloth and away from your skin. The result is a superior cleansing that eliminates the very environment (dirt, bacteria, oil and grime) in which skin conditions can erupt."
SOLD! I rolled up to Luxe on Friday and got myself one (thankfully a new shipment had arrived because they were all out a couple of weeks ago!). And I even got a sampler set of the popular One Love Organics products. Well, I got home and decided to give my new shammy a try along with the Easy Does It cleanser I had a sample of.
Wow. Nice cleanser and a fabulous shammy. While there was no way any cleanser could remove the amount of mascara and eye makeup I was wearing without the aid of makeup remover, this shammy did exactly what it said it would: removed my residual makeup from my face that I didn't need extra eye makeup remover after my shower! And it glides over skin, which would seem counterintuitive to good gunk removal, but it worked really, really well.
As for the Easy Does It cleanser, I loved it. I foamed up just enough, smelled nice (but not too powerful) and rinsed easily. I ended up getting a full-sized bottle at Luxe today because I like it so much, which is saying something because when it comes to skin care as opposed to makeup, I am soooo hard to please. With makeup, I'm open to anything, from crazy eye makeup to dark lips. With skin care, I am sometimes overly cautious because I fear that if something doesn't agree with my skin, I will end up with an allergic rash that will turn into a psoriasis patch (it's happened and it sucks). However, I am very happy with the One Love Organics combo of the Easy Does It Cleanser and My New Best Friend shammy.
Verdict: If you are looking for a great way to wash your face, I recommend one or both products, which you can buy at Luxe in Hoboken or from One Love Organics' website.

After reading your thread, I got got one and it flies great. I had the same' landing bounce' until I increased flaps to 45 degrees and held some power on landing. I used E-Flites electric retracts (drop right in) as my Spring Airs were in my E-Flite F-86. I am using a Wemo Fan as I have had 2 Chinese fans loose some blades. best 90mm plane I have ever had and god knows I think I have flown most out there. My only complaint is that I had it flip over in 25 mile winds on landing and cracked the canopy and trying to get a replacement from Nitro has been the typical TCW (the chinese way) |
Glad to hear about your success !
The WeMotec fan combination sounds like a winner for this plane. I would not drop too much flaps (esp not in a turn !!) on the T-45 as it blanks out the elevators. I land mine without flaps now, I don't think this one needs them - apart from looks. Also, flaps reduce the max AoA so they make the Hawk easier to stall, that's a well known issue for the turbine Hawks. You need a flat glide with flaps deployed. You might want to consider adding wing fences. I keep seeing reports of CMP Hawk tipstalling on banked landing approaches. Maybe they had the wrong CG as well (too far back, making them a bit too pitch sensitive), who knows. Somebody should pull a plug off of that canopy (Ken Sparks / Parkflier.com) ! Getting replacements from CMP could be a nightmare. http://www.nitroplanes.com/canopies.html . |
Great thread Herb... thanks!
Isn't that hawk landing w/ flaps down and at a slightly nose high AoA? Its been a while since I've had a class in aerodynamics but if I recall correctly, flaps down should increase the max AOA. I lost a good friend because he pulled his flaps up after take-off before turning to avoid an airport. Flaps were required in the turn due to the slow airspeed... resulted in a tip stall. With all that said, it is hard to argue w/ your experience w/ this plane |
Can't find a good reference, but here's one:
TE flaps increase the camber of the wing which increases the CL MAX, but the greater curvature means the airflow separates at a lower AoA because it simply cannot make the sharper turn (as BEagle pointed out, the CL curve moves up and slightly to the left). This is true for TE devices that only increase camber (Spilt and Plain Flaps). More efficient flaps that also increase boundary layer energy (Slotted and Fowler Flaps) raise the CL curve even further and help to maintain the airflow to the wing at even higher CLs. Fowlers being the most efficient flap types also increase wing area. The effects of LE devices depends on the type of device. A device that increases boundary layer energy (Slots and Slats) extends the CL curve, allowing a greater CL Max and an increased critical AoA. If the LE device increases camber only (Kreuger Flaps), then it does not extend the CL curve, but does move it up and to the left (having the same effect that TE flaps have). Slats increase the BLE and also the camber therefore extending the CL curve and raising it as well. Next time I pull out my aerodynamics book, remind me to wear a dust mask :O http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-126007.html In short, flaps reduce stall speed but make the wing aerodynamically less "clean" - potentially promoting an earlier boundary layer separation. |
Here one can find more than one (I) wants to know .
The discussion here is specific to the total loss of a turbine JetLegend Hawk on the maiden, after putting down too much flaps on the landing approach : http://translate.google.com/translat...awk%2BErstflug Assuming that one understands exactly what went on there, the message seems : do not start out on the maiden with excessive flap deflection ... . |

Thanks for the info Herb... that's great! I can't remember if simple scale aircraft like the Cessna 150 or 172 have trailing edge flaps or the better flaps. Seems there would be some advantage to TE flaps. I'm putting split flaps on my NP starfire in hopes to keep if from floating all the way down the runway... in this case they may be more like speed brakes I'll probably try using the full open position w/ crow. The goal is to control the glide slope w/ the throttle rather than guessing my airspeed.
Glad it made sense, it did so to me ... sometimes subtle issues are involved, such as: how do you define the AoA with flaps extended etc.
I had two flights with the T-45 this last Saturday, on the first one I slowed it down so much on landing that it started, nose up, to go a bit unstable It was quite windy too, 15mph+ I think. I dinged up the nose bottom which required some bondo work. On the second flight, the left main came out only when I hit the ground on landing , I think the strut might have bent a bit on the previous landing. At least a badly scraped wing bottom was avoided at the very last second. . |

Nice video, have to try that myself ! Can you post a picture on how you mounted the camera, mine is a bit too tall ? Maybe you made a hole in the fuse?
Lat weekend I had both flights with the strobe on, nobody would notice it until I told them I had a strobe on the fuse top It's that blinding Ca afternoon sun. I did not damage the retracts, they are fine ... remember they are Springairs Just a scraped nose. The good news is that mine went like stink with a new 8S pack |
I've set up two elastic on the door of the turbine and shut the door (screw) the camera and held only by two elastic and is based on a piece of foam
here is my camera: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._5MP_CMOS.html escuse me me for my very bad English THANK YOU for this fantastic HERB about to discuss, which made me buy the T-45 CMP |

Elderly Hilton Head Island murder suspect staying in Savannah
SAVANNAH — A 90-year-old Hilton Head Island man was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime in connection with the death of his wife of 62 years.
On Thursday morning, John Haw Cross Sr. was served with the two arrest warrants at the Beaufort County Courthouse prior to a bond hearing in which he was released to a secure psychiatric facility in Savannah, Daniel Brownstein of South Carolina's 14th Judicial Circuit said in a press release.
Cross is accused of fatally stabbing 84-year-old Page Arrington Cross in their home at the Seabrooke retirement community on June 24 before stabbing himself and shooting himself in the head. The couple was found by a housekeeper, who asked the community's manager to open the locked door.
"Our main concern is that he remains in a locked-down facility and that he continues to receive the psychiatric treatment he needs," Solicitor Duffie Stone told the court.
John Cross has remained hospitalized since the incident. His family has arranged for him to continue receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at Savannah Cottage of Chatham, a locked-down facility in Savannah.
Judge Carmen Mullen ruled that Cross, who uses a wheelchair, must remain at the facility and is only permitted to leave for medical appointments
when he is accompanied by a caretaker or family member. She also ordered he undergo a psychological evaluation to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.
The next step is for his case to be presented to the Beaufort County Grand Jury for an indictment, Brownstein said.

Testimony: CSIS's James Lewis
TestimonyHouse Committee on Homeland SecuritySubcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cyber Security, and Science and Technology"Cyber Security Recommendations for the Next Administration"James A. LewisCenter for Strategic & International Studies
Sept. 16, 2008
I thank the Committee for the opportunity to testify on the work of the CSIS Cyber Security Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency. As you know, this Commission was established a year ago. It held its first meeting in November 2007. Our goal is to identify concrete actions that the next Administration can take to improve cyber security. We are composed of 40 individuals with extensive experience in cyber security and in government operations, and our work has been supported by a number of eminent experts in this field. We have also received invaluable assistance from the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the FBI, and from elements of the Department of Homeland Security. Let me also note that you, Mr. Chairman, and your colleague Representative McCaul have provided essential support and guidance during the course of our work. Your leadership has been crucial for shaping the report and in moving the Commission forward.
The starting point for the Commission's work was that the lack of cyber security and the loss of information were doing unacceptable damage to the U.S. It has been 10 years since the first reports called attention to America's vulnerability in cyberspace. Unfortunately, the situation has gotten worse, not better, during the intervening decade. That cyberspace now provides the foundation for much of our economic activity is not readily apparent. However, those who wish to do harm to the U.S. have not failed to notice the opportunities created by the weaknesses of U.S. networks. There has been damaging losses of valuable information. These losses occurred in both the government and the private sector, creating major risks for national security and doing major damage to U.S. global competitiveness. We are also deeply concerned by the idea that these intruders, since they were able to successfully enter U.S. networks to steal information without being detected, could just as well be leaving something behind, malicious software that could be triggered in a crisis to disrupt critical services or infrastructure.
I should note that when we began our work, the Administration had not announced its National Cyber Security Initiative (NCSI). We appreciate the willingness of some departments to share the details of this highly classified activity to those of us who hold the appropriate clearances. As a group, we believe this initiative has begun to make a tremendous contribution to improving U.S. national security, and we applaud those who are struggling to implement it. We have adjusted our work in light of the initiative; it has brought progress, but there is still much work to be done.
The CSIS Cyber Commission hopes to have finished its work by November of this year. So our discussion today must necessarily reflect that in some instance, the group has not finished its work on key recommendations. What I and my colleagues can do, however, is brief the committee on the issues we have identified and some of the options we are considering.
Let me begin by noting our two most important findings. The first is that cyber security is now one of the most important national security challenges facing the U.S. This is not some hypothetical catastrophe. We are under attack and taking damage. Our second finding is that the U.S. is not organized and lacks a coherent national strategy for addressing this challenge.
These two findings inform our work and our recommendations, and the Commission has identified several broad areas where we recommend that the next Administration take immediate action. These are to develop a comprehensive national security strategy for cyberspace; to reorganize the governance of cyberspace to provide accountability and authority; to rebuild relationships with the private sector; to modernize cyberspace authorities; and use regulation and federal acquisitions to shape markets.
National Strategy
In light of our conclusion that cyberspace must now be part of that national security strategy, our recommendations call for the use of all instruments of U.S. power to secure cyberspace. We identify five principal instruments—diplomatic, military, economic, law enforcement, and intelligence—to achieve this and will recommend that the next Administration make use of them in a coordinated and well-resourced national approach.
Diplomatic Initiatives
The diplomatic aspects of cyber security have been among the least developed elements of U.S. policy. Our vision of a diplomatic strategy involves advocacy, cooperation, and norms. It is patterned after the U.S. experience in building international cooperation in nonproliferation. Increasingly, all nations and all peoples depend on cyberspace to conduct their daily affairs and this provides opportunities for cooperation. We will recommend that the U.S. advocate measure to secure cyberspace in every multilateral initiative where it is appropriate, just as we have advocated measure to advance nonproliferation or to combat terrorism.
Military and Defense
Much of the discussion of the military aspects of cyber security is necessarily classified. This limits what our Commission can say on offensive information warfare. However, we discussed several essential topics. These included how to improve deterrence, how to link strategy to an appropriate doctrine for use, and how to train and equip forces. The most important conclusion we reached is that credible offensive capabilities is necessary to deter potential attackers.
The U.S. has a doctrine for military operations in cyberspace, but we believe this doctrine will need to be expanded if it is to be effective. Doctrine provides guidance on the exercise of the various and overlapping legal authorities that apply to cyberspace, identifying when the use of law enforcement, military, or intelligence authorities are appropriate. An expanded doctrine should specify relationships among agencies and lay out the decision-making process for various actions. Our initial conclusion is that the next Administration should refine existing doctrine and create processes to work through the issues of deterrence and strategic operations in cyberspace.
Economic Tools
Our review suggests that the U.S. would benefit from making greater use of the economic tools available to it. These tools include using international economic programs and organizations to promote cyber security, to develop norms and sanctions for international behavior, to work with international standards bodies, and to invest in research and development in cyber security. A concrete example of this would be our bilateral trade negotiations with Russia. While the Russians had to improve their performance to many legal and trade requirements, they were not asked for better national performance in securing cyberspace. This must change.
Intelligence and Law Enforcement
Our review of cyber security efforts found that the intelligence community has led the efforts to improve U.S. national cyber security. To foreshadow our discussion of organizational issues, we considered recommending that the intelligence community be formally given the lead role in securing cyberspace, but ultimately decided that this would be politically infeasible. Our recommendations emphasize that its primary role in securing cyberspace will be to support diplomatic, military, and domestic elements of a comprehensive strategy.
We were also impressed by the work of the federal law enforcement community. Our recommendations will emphasize that an important activity for law enforcement is to work with other nations, as part of a larger diplomatic strategy, to shrink the "sanctuaries" available for cybercrime. Another essential law enforcement function is to ensure adequate protections for privacy and civil liberties in any cyber initiative.
A comprehensive response to cyber attack need not come at the expense of civil liberties, and success will depend in some measure on the ability of the government to assure Americans that their rights are being safeguarded. We believe this assurance requires a commitment from the White House and vigorous congressional oversight.
We believe that the new Administration has an opportunity to build on the NCSI to create a coherent national strategy. This strategy should be one of the first policy documents that it issues. Moving to a strategy for cyberspace that focuses on using all the tools of national power creates an important challenge, however. We found that the current ability to organize and coordinate the use of diplomatic, military, economic, intelligence, and law enforcement activities is inadequate. This will need to change improve cyber security.
It did not take long for our group to conclude that our national efforts in cyberspace are disorganized. None of the existing cyber security structures are adequate. We found that the central problems in the current federal organization for cyber security are the lack of a strategic focus, overlapping missions, poor coordination and collaboration, and diffuse responsibility. Much of the problem resides with the performance and capabilities of the Department of Homeland Security. While the Department's performance has improved in recent years, making this Department more effective will be an immediate task for the next Administration. However, our view is that any improvement to the nation's cyber security must be placed outside of DHS to be effective, and this will require rethinking the roles of DHS and the Homeland Security Council.
Given DHS's weaknesses, we considered a number of alternatives. The intelligence community has the necessary capabilities, but giving it a lead role poses serious constitutional problems. DOD is well suited to manage a national mission, but giving it the lead suggests a militarization of cyberspace. We concluded that only the White House has the necessary authority and oversight for cyber security.
Simply appointing a czar, however, will not work. Czars in Washington tend to be either temporary or marginalized. Longing for a czar is a symptom of our industrial age governmental organization. We are developing recommendations on how to leverage information technology to increase security while improving the efficiency and transparency of government operations. Our thinking on this has been shaped in part by the implementation of the Intelligence Reform & Terrorist Prevention Act, which imposed a new, more collaborative structure on the intelligence community. This is still a work in progress, but the IC's experience shows that the combination of a congressional mandate, adequate authorities, and a focus on "enterprise" solutions (e.g. those that cut across traditional agency barriers) can improve federal performance.
We believe that the next Administration's response to the cyber security challenge provides an opportunity to test new approaches to federal organization that better leverage the use of cyberspace and social networking technologies to improve government performance. It is time to move to an Information Age government. The Commission is considering several options for how best to achieve this. Our view is that this new model of governance must be based in the Executive Office of the President and make collaboration among agencies one of its missions.
Public-Private Partnerships
The Committee knows that the U.S. works with a variety of groups created to improve information sharing or build public-private partnerships. Based on a series of interviews, we found almost universal recognition that the status quo is not meeting the needs of government or the private sector with respect to collaboration.
Our work concentrated on two problems that must be addressed if there is to be improvement. The first is to rebuild trust between the government and the private sector.
The second is to focus on infrastructures that are truly critical for cyber security—the sectors that provide the large national networks that create cyberspace—telecommunications, electricity, and finance.
We heard in numerous interviews that trust is the foundation of a successful government/private sector relationship. We also heard that in the past few years, despite the profusion of advisory bodies and despite good intentions on all sides, trust between government and the private sector has declined. Our recommendations will call for simplifying structure and building trust relationships. Information sharing, which drove much of the original thinking about how to work with the private sector, should become a secondary goal in our view.
Our group had a long debate over the role of regulation and whether there has been market failure in cyber security. Our conclusion is that greater regulation is necessary, but that prescriptive, command-and-control regulation will not produce a higher standard for security in critical cyber infrastructure. We are exploring a new approach to regulation that builds on and blends the strengths of the public and private sectors.
Based on this Committee's hearings on NERC and FERC, we are exploring approaches that build on your vision of how NERC/FERC should work. This approach would task existing regulatory agencies for telecommunications, finance, and electrical power to devise regulations that embed cyber security requirements in a regulatory and compliance framework. To achieve this while avoiding the drawbacks of regulation, the federal government must find new ways to coordinate among agencies. We plan to recommend a "federated" approach to regulation that reduces the fragmentation and inconsistency found in cyber security regulation.
Identity and attribution
One of the new regulations we think are necessary for cyber security involves authentication of identity for critical infrastructures in cyberspace. The current Internet is anonymous. Anonymity can preserve privacy and civil liberties, but it can also enable malicious behavior. We have concluded that the government must require better authentication for critical infrastructure, and that this can be done in a way that protects privacy and confidentiality.
We started with the principle that unknown individuals or individuals using fraudulent identities should not be able to easily access critical infrastructure. We are developing a technology-neutral, "opt-in" approach to digital credentials for critical infrastructure, based on precedents from the work of the FDIC and the experience of the Department of Defense.
Our view is that it will be feasible to create a system where those who did not want to be authenticated could choose not to participate without penalty, but those who offer online services and wished to restrict them to authenticated individuals would not have that right denied to them. We recognize the sensitivity of any recommendation to require authentication and believe that no measure that does not adequately protect civil liberties will succeed, but we have concluded that security cannot be improved without better authentication of identity.
Modernize Authorities for Cyberspace
We heard many times in our interviews that a legal structure that is a decade or two old ill serves the nation when it comes to cyber security. Some of this is due to transaction speed—an event in cyberspace may happen in seconds, but determining which authority to use in response can take hours or days (and we heard that the "default" authority is Title 3—law enforcement—as this is the set of authorities that is least likely to pose risks for civil liberties).
We believe that the next Administration should work with Congress to revise three authorities: Title 3 investigative authorities related to cyberspace; the Clinger-Cohen Act and the Federal Information Security Management Act; and the distinction in law between national security and civilian agency systems currently embedded in many authorities.
Revising existing authorities to serve the nation effectively in cyberspace will be a complex legal operation that will require Congress and the new Administration to work closely together, but it is an unavoidable challenge.
Resources and Incentives
Our discussions and interviews suggest that the federal government has not made full use of its powers to change market conditions in ways that will improve cyber security. It can increase the inputs and resources available for cyber security by supporting training and education. It can expand and focus its investment in research. It can encourage the deployment of more secure products and protocols by using its purchasing power—the federal government does not have a dominant market share in IT, but it is the largest single customer for most IT products, and it can use this to move the market in positive directions.
Our recommendations will call for changes in acquisitions requirements, collaborative work with companies on standards and best practices, and investment in human capital and in research to accelerate the rate at which we secure cyberspace. In this, we will recommend that a new Administration build off OMB's Federal Desktop Core Configuration initiative.
Cooperation with private sector will be essential for success. Leveraging government and industry partnerships can produce major improvements in security. Moreover, the development of more secure configurations must involve those international standards bodies who have been working in this area.
Our review suggests that the U.S. would benefit if it developed a national cyber education and training program. Our recommendation is that the U.S. develop an institutionalized program that establishes minimal standards for skills and knowledge sufficient to meet the cyber mission and enable attractive career paths.
The federal government is one of the largest purchasers of telecommunications services in the world—perhaps the largest. A Presidential mandate that the U.S. would only contract with telecommunications carriers that use DNS SEC would rapidly drive the market and provide benefits beyond the federal government. This recommendation is attractive because it could also be adopted by state and local governments.
Information Assurance Metrics
A central part of any effort to judge whether a product or initiative has improved security is to identify or develop the metrics that can measure progress. There is no doubt that achieving compliance with best security practice is a basic foundation that is valuable and should be measured—what we lack is the ability to go beyond that with meaningful measures of security that inform the system owner on their actual risk profile, and how best to make intelligent investments in making the IT system more secure and reducing the overall risk.
Assuring Industrial Control System Cyber Security
Industrial Control Systems (also known as SCADA) are an integral part of electric power, oil, water, gasoline, chemicals, manufacturing, mining, transportation, food processing, etc., by providing control and safe shutdown of the processes for these facilities. Computer cyber vulnerabilities can affect the safe, functional performance of these systems and processes. We are working with experts in this field to develop recommendations on how to improve the security of ICS. These recommendations will probably be linked to our recommendation to develop a new regulatory approach for cyber security.
Research and Development for Cyber Security
Although technology is only a part of the cyber security challenge, the next Administration has an opportunity to use research and development to improve the security of computer and communications systems and the information created and stored within them.
Our initial work suggests that the U.S. needs a coordinated and strategic focus for federal investments in cyber security R&D. Both basic research—often performed at universities and with benefits realized over the long term—and applied research— which uses existing technology to address near-term problems—must be part of this strategy. Just as the Department of Defense has successfully marshaled R&D to provide military advantage to the U.S. since the 1940s, the U.S. must harness R&D to America's cyber security needs.
One area we are considering for R&D involves re-engineering the Internet, which operates with protocols written in the 1970s and '80s. A simple analogy would be to ask if it is safe to drive a 30-year-old car that still uses its original equipment. We believe it is time to upgrade. Many outside experts suggested that we remember that cyberspace is a human construct and that the Internet's architecture, with research and international cooperation, can be significantly improved. This is a bold and complex recommendation that will require a coordinated effort managed by the White House as part of a larger strategy, but it is not out of reach.
Next Steps
The Commission's goal is a package of implementable recommendations that could help to guide both a legislative agenda and Presidential policy documents. We are on track to have this done within the next two months. Several difficult issues remain, including how to move from an Industrial Age model of governance to one better suited for the Information Age, how to scope and design a new approach to regulation, where to locate the authorities for cyberspace within the federal government, and how to make public-private partnership more efficient. I am confident that with your help and guidance we can resolve these issues and offer our recommendation to the next Administration, the Congress, and the American public. Thank you again for this opportunity, and I would be happy to take any questions you may have.

A Singapore court charged a man for posting a bomb hoax online while illegally tapping into a wireless Internet network.
Lin's alleged post, which was made just after the London subway and bus bombings earlier that month, had so alarmed other users on the site that they contacted the police, The Straits Times newspaper reported.
The court granted Lin a week's adjournment to mourn a relative's death, the report said, adding Lin said he intended to plead guilty to the charges.
Lin, whom authorities say used the online moniker "krisurf," faces up to seven years imprisonment and fines of up to $32,500 for sending a false message about a bomb.
Lin also faces 60 charges of tapping illegally into nine unsecured wireless Internet networks between July 2005 and February 2006, the court documents showed. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of three years in jail and a fine of up to $6,500.
Lin is the second person to be prosecuted in the city-state for illegal wireless Internet access under the Computer Misuse Act. A Singaporean teenager was charged in November 2005.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The mighty buck edged higher against the euro on Tuesday thanks to improving retail sales data in the world's largest economy, while a mixed German ZEW survey and European Central Bank (ECB) talk weighed on the 18-member single currency.
Recently, ECB President Mario Draghi reopened the "verbal intervention playbook". It's a tried and true method that has served him well in days past, thus he is using the tactic to buy time in the hope that an improvement will soon be seen on the eurozone inflation front.
So far, all the euro has managed to do is fallback from its recent key high values north of €1.3900. For the ECB to get more "bang for the buck", it needs to be proactive, aggressive, and perhaps it should introduce a little "shock and awe" therapy. Using verbal messaging is limiting and makes European policymakers look weak. The continued strengthening of the EUR has, according to policymakers, reduced -0.5% off regional inflation numbers over the past 18 months. That explains Draghi's remarks last weekend when he rekindled the possibility of "further monetary policy accommodation" for the single currency bloc.
Obviously, the EUR bears are happy, however, they have been down the pro-rhetoric road before, and for currency traders, the talk is cheap. This time, and only if they are serious, Draghi and company will be required to send an aggressive message to capital markets. Whether that is a combination of interest rate cuts coupled with negative deposits rates, or the removal of the Securities Market Program (SMP) sterilization, it would be an effective way of providing stimulus and buy the ECB time to work out the logistics of other measures. The market would also see suspension of the SMP sterilization as a powerful signal that the ECB could engage in outright asset purchases if inflation continues to fall. By using the sterilization policy, the debate on the decision to use private or sovereign bonds in quantitative easing, would be delayed even further. After all, this is Europe: different cultures, economies, and diversifying politics make member uniformity difficult at the best of times.
Brit Inflation Drops to 1.6%
U.K. data continues to keep policymakers at the Bank of England (BoE) on their toes. This morning's U.K. inflation headline happened to fall to a new four-and-a-half year low of +1.6%, year-over-year, in March, while factory gate inflation at +0.5% was the lowest since October, 2009. Digging deeper, it's no surprise to see U.K. house prices gain +9.1% in the 12-months to February -- the strongest rise in four years. The monthly reading was +0.2%, month-over-month, in March. Sterling suffered a knee-jerk reaction, printing a low of £1.6657 before an aggressive 83-pip climb ensued. The +1.6% headline print was well below the BoE's target level of +2%. Tomorrow's release of British earning growth numbers (+1.8% versus +1.4% expected) and jobs data should make it interesting for the pound. According to the techies, cable offers are becoming moot north of £1.6735-45. Stronger resistance for the currency stands alone every +15-pips through this handle's halfway point, up to and including the option heavy £1.6800 level.
Europe Looks to America for Direction
The single currency remains relatively steady (€1.3800) ahead of U.S. consumer-price index data and earnings being reported later this morning. Earlier during the European session, the April German ZEW survey came in very wide of the mark, with the economic sentiment sliding to 43.2, compared with 45.0 expected.
The April ZEW survey fell for the fourth month in a row as the Ukraine crisis weighs heavily on investor sentiment in the eurozone's biggest economy. But a surprise came in the form of current conditions surging to a nearly three-year high of 59.5 versus 51.8 as expected. The split result has done little for the EUR – it seems that the European holiday thinned trading sessions prefer to rely on North America for direction.
With tensions rising in Ukraine, perhaps Europeans do not need to look so far afield when gauging investment opportunities and potential hedging requirements. The 'real' threat of disruption to oil and gas supply to mainland Europe may drive Norwegian oil and gas companies to outperform – making them the short-term winner. This scenario would naturally support the NOK. Even with a dovish ECB, the market should be expecting the 18-member single currency to underperform outright and on the cross, thereby directly supporting the NOK via mainland monetary policy. Finally, rising inflation concerns in Norway could argue for a tighter monetary policy from the Norges Bank – from an interest rate differential position, the NOK could be a winner.

Here we see some clear spy shots of what will be the new redesigned 2014 Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon.
You can be sure that the 2014 Chevy Tahoe, and it's sister ship, the 2014 GMC Yukon will continue to be true trucks, meaning body on frame construction. We've seem some makes such as the new Nissan Pathfinder switch to the unibody route, but this won't happen anytime soon to a full size General Motors SUV.
The 2014 Chevy Tahoe shows signs of a boldly styled grill up front with LED daytime running lights poking through its camouflage. There will likely be a strong family resemblance to the 2014 Chevy Impala and Chevy SS in the front fascia. Prominent tow hooks adorn a new front bumper and the presence of all around parking sensors are apparent on this test unit. One thing this Tahoe mule doesn't clearly reveal, though, is the final headlight design.
The 2014 Tahoe will get a boxier rear with LED tail lights although not as radical as what has been seen on the 2014 Cadillac Escalade test mule. It looks as though the third brake light is integrated into the roof spoiler on this tester.
Little is known about engine options at the moment. Most likely the 2014 models will offer up an evolved version of GM's 6.2-liter V-8, as well as well as a small V-8 in the 5.3 to 5.5 liter size range.
