The World's Most Hackable Cars

Researchers find 2014 models of Dodge Viper, Audi A8, Honda Accord are the least likely to be hit by hackers.
Researchers find 2014 models of Dodge Viper, Audi A8, Honda Accord are the least likely to be hit by hackers.
If you drive a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a 2014 Infiniti Q50, or a 2015 Escalade, your car not only has state-of-the-art network-connected functions and automated features, but it's also the most likely to get hacked.
That's what renowned researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek concluded in their newest study of vulnerabilities in modern automobiles, which they will present Wednesday at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas. The researchers focused on the potential for remote attacks, where a nefarious hacker could access the car's network from afar -- breaking into its wireless-enabled radio, for instance, and issuing commands to the car's steering or other automated driving feature.
The researchers studied in-depth the automated and networked functionality in modern vehicle models, analyzing how an attacker could potentially access a car's Bluetooth, telematics, or on-board phone app, for example, and using that access to then control the car's physical features, such as automated parking, steering, and braking. Some attacks would require the attacker to be within a few meters of the targeted car, but telematics-borne attacks could occur from much farther away, the researchers say.
Not surprisingly, the vehicles with fewer computerized and networked functions were less likely to get attacked by a hacker. "The most hackable cars had the most [computerized] features and were all on the same network and could all talk to each other," says Miller, who is a security engineer at Twitter. "The least hackable ones had [fewer] features, and [the features] were segmented, so the radio couldn't talk to the brakes," for example.
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 would be the easiest of all to hack because its telematics, Bluetooth, and radio functions all run on the same network as the car's engine and braking systems, for instance, making it easier for an attacker to gain control of the car's computerized physical operations.
Different vehicles had different network configurations: Some had Bluetooth on a separate network than the steering and acceleration systems.
The researchers say the 2014 Dodge Viper, the 2014 Audi A8, and the 2014 Honda Accord are the least hackable vehicles. They ranked the Audi A8 as the least hackable overall because its network-accessible potential attack surfaces are separated from the car's physical components such as steering, notes Miller. "Each feature of the car is separated on a different network and connected by a gateway," he says. "The wirelessly connected computers are on a separate network than the steering, which makes us believe that this car is harder to hack to gain control over" its features.
By contrast, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee runs the "cyber physical" features and remote access functions on the same network, Valasek notes. "We can't say for sure we can hack the Jeep and not the Audi, but… the radio can always talk to the brakes," and in the Jeep Cherokee, those two are on the same network, he says.

Each year, our employees select a new community partner to support through special company events, fundraisers and company donation matching programs. Plex is proud to recognize National 4-H Council as our 2014 Plex Giving partner. Since 4-H began more than 100 years ago, it has become the nation's largest youth development organization, reaching more than 6 million youth.

good lord she's is playing tennis in bikini and a pair of wedges? so bizarre!
she's still looking pretty good for a mom. is she still with freddie prinze jr?
the back of her legs make me unhappy.
I wanna see a video of her stretching for a wide ball in that outfit.
^ perv 8)
pfft don't we all hate cellulite ? btw it's weird to see a thin woman like her to have cellulite on the back of her thighs. it's not like she has thunder thighs or something.
Thanks Jamesblakefan, The Jelena Dokic photo's are awesome.
That is one special body.
someone commented in the earlier posts that Jenifer love hewitt is skinny, her physique is fine.a true definition of skinny would be Victoria beckham or Mischa barton.
That was certainly unexpected...
^a gorgeous smile...
and the perfect rack...
what more could you ask for???
^^^thats as good as svetlana kuznetsova can look in a pic
The other two I posted a ways back were much better, actually.
Well done gentlemen!
TY TY TY. Mr JamesBlakeFan!!!!!!! You got some Great shots of Dominika there. I Love the way she is built. Like this powerful little fireplug. Great Legs n skin(IMO). Then to end it with her lovely smile...You made my day and then gave me some great shots of Masha as well! And some nice hot shots of Dokic too..fine fine figure there. Well done guys!
Jankovic & Mattek.
Sammy Stosur, being primped for pictures.
there can never be enough pictures of maria kirilenko..thank you to all who have posted pics of her thus far
I agree. I'm am glad that the rest of the photo shoot came out after the initial teaser. Overall, the quality of the pics in this thread has picked up tremendously, just when I didn't think it could get better than this!
Hmmm. So, what's wrong with this pic from the home page of the LA Women's Tennis Championships. http://www.latennischamps.com/index.php
A great ass?
DB (thinking): So this is what a woman who eats looks like (?)
yes, I forgot to mention that...
in the posts that I quoted, there weren't any pictures that showed how fantastic her ass is
Whole lotta Woz.
The Hardbody doubles team: Vesnina and Alona.
RP, where did you find those pics?
In the Land of Grey and Pink--where only Boy Scouts stop to think.
where is that?
I can't tell you. The clowns will eat me.
I promise not to skip any of the pics when I find them, though. Bozo said that's OK.
ha yeah, in tennis magazine they asked her "what do you hate the most about being in the States?" She replied "the large food portions, its just not good to eat that much."
Then they asked her "whats your favorite thing about being in the states?" she replied "the portions "
what the hell.... she looks gigantic in that top pic
I find this very hot
muy caliente!!!
two of the hottest women in the world, but Wozzi is the hotter one - i love her perfectly chiseled body!
What a body!!!
where'd you get these?
she might as well play in a bikini if she's gonna hike up those shorts the way she does here^
That's a good idea. Suggest that to her.

ESPN talks to Jonny Wilkinson
Plotting the next stage
Tom Hamilton
July 2, 2012
Jonny Wilkinson has an unrivalled attention to detail when it comes to rugby © PA Photos
England's best known player of the last 20 years remains an enigma. So much has been written about Jonny Wilkinson that when speaking to him, you feel you know him well, but he always surprises you with an in-depth take on an aspect of the sport that has barely had column inches in the past.
He still seems to live within a realm of mental rugby torture - always thinking about the game and striving for greatness. Having that golden medal around his neck back in 2003 was clearly not enough.
Nine years later and Wilkinson still has an aura about him. His place in the rugby pantheon is already secured and he could certainly be forgiven if he opted to call time on a career during which he has contributed so much and escape to some retreat on the Mediterranean. But this is not an option for Wilkinson - that is the beauty of the man; or perhaps his albatross.
Aged 33, Wilkinson is now entering the twilight of his career. Regardless of the hours he continues to put in both on and off the field, he will retire from the game - this is something out of his control. With England now enjoying the dawn of a new era under Stuart Lancaster, Wilkinson could yet feature in his coaching set-up - an area of the game he is already dedicating hours to.
"I find myself coaching individually at the club all the time and I spend probably as much time doing that as I do my own stuff," Wilkinson told ESPN. "I still have enormous drive more than ever to get better. I now know that finding the time to help others is part of my passport to getting better. It's something I really do connect with - that ability to work with people and to help them achieve everything they can.
"I spend so much time thinking about every sort of detail, about every sort of skill and how it can be done better, more effectively, more efficiently, more accurately and more precisely. It's the thought process of my life. I wake up in the morning and immediately think about what I can do to improve myself ahead of next year; that's never going to change. I love passing that on.
"However, with regards to coaching a whole side, it's a totally different kettle of fish. You're opening up the door to man management, to building teams, to putting a coaching team in place, to co-ordinating logistics, to everything - admin as well. I know that from speaking to the guys, it's a real talent. Even what I'm talking about from a skills perspective needs researching. Look at someone like Dave Alred, who in my opinion is undoubtedly the best in my eyes at one-on-one coaching. He's always here, there and everywhere looking at how he can better everyone else and what it means being the best.
"For me it's an option in the future, but not quite yet. From an individual perspective I'm already on that path but for a team, I'm not yet ready. I know I love the game and I have my views and I will always want to be involved in it, but it's a more complex decision."
While Wilkinson can pass on his views on goal kicking, fly-half play and attempt to relay his years of experience it will be hard for another individual to mimic his mindset. Notoriously dedicated to his sport, Wilkinson must have felt out of place during the infamous World Cup last year while others ran riot. With a re-focused England back on the right track and with the northern hemisphere seemingly closing the gap on their southern rivals, the mental side of the game will become increasingly more important.
Wales' narrow losses to Australia were put down to state of mind rather than a gulf in class and Wilkinson is quick to emphasise just how important that aspect of the game has become.
"The mental side of the game is key. I have spoken about that for a while when I wrote the book and have said it in interviews before that it does make a huge difference. It's a bit like when you try and learn any skill, you start to do it and you feel the results coming. It lets you know that you're on the right track, it lets you know that it's possible and there's no doubt about that.
"Mentally going forward, that side of the game lets you know that there's no difference between you and other players, everyone is playing the same game and everyone is playing with the same ball. It's just a question of doing it well over and over again."
While England came out of their tour to South Africa with their reputations arguably enhanced, Wilkinson was part of a less-fruitful trip back in 1998 that has since become known as the 'Tour from Hell'. England were destroyed by Australia and then New Zealand before falling 18-0 to the Springboks where Josh Lewsey played at fly-half. Experiences like that made Wilkinson the player we know and according to the man himself, playing in a cauldron-like arena like Ellis Park is integral to an individual's development.

"You may carry a new boy type tag but when you get onto the field you have two options. You either say 'I can't handle this' or you get on and do it. The current England crop wouldn't opt for number one. They're going to get there and think 'Jesus, this is unique and a bit hostile' but when the game starts and you play as a rugby player that says 'I can't stand losing and I will do anything I can to help my team win'.
"Then you realise that that part of you and that part of your psyche cannot be touched by anything or anyone. It's who you are and it's what got you where you are in the first place. That's a great thing to find out as soon as you can. Until you've been out there you think for some reason that it can affect you - the fact it's 80,000 not 10,000 watching you or that you're playing at 2,000 metres above sea level, but it doesn't matter. It's the same thing regardless of where you are. It's not easy to get there but it's a simple game."
"A simple game" maybe, but as Wilkinson proves, it is immensely complicated and all-encompassing. If England can find a way of bottling some of Wilkinson's nous, passion and insight when he eventually hangs up his boots, then they will have tapped into a brilliantly unique resource from which they can only benefit.

Hulkenberg ready to lead Sauber

- Nico Hülkenberg
- Teams:
- Force India

- Sauber
Nico Hulkenberg says he is ready to lead Sauber alongside rookie Esteban Gutierrez next season.
After an impressive year at Force India, Hulkenberg is moving to Sauber in 2013 as a replacement for Sergio Perez. In order to maintain the links with major sponsors such as Telmex, Sauber has replaced Kamui Kobayashi with Gutierrez - who has only one Friday practice appearance to his name - and Hulkenberg says he is fully prepared to be the team leader.
"Yes, I feel ready for that," Hulkenberg told the official Formula One website. "It's not a case of bringing extra pressure, it's something that helps motivate me even more, but to be honest I don't see my role as much different to the one I was in this year. I will simply concentrate on my job of trying to deliver good results."
Hulkenberg also said that he wants to build on his strong finish to 2012 and take that momentum in to next season having finished fifth in Brazil after leading for part of the race.
"Yes, that is the goal. There is no warm-up phase anymore, so I personally hope that I start performing right at the point where I finished at the end of 2012 - and that was a very promising point. I am changing teams so there will be a 'getting to know each other' phase but I am confident that this will go smoothly."

Beautiful desktop sound
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
What started as a quest for nice computer speakers ended up with this Nuforce Icon amp and some Infinity Primus speakers. Wow, I will never look at anything cheap again. After reading a series of audiophile reviews on the Nuforce Icon series, I went with the purchase. The clarity of this system is amazing. For typical listening, I am running it at ~40% volume. No distortion. Turning it up to 50-60% volume ... no distortion. This amp is undeniably clear sounding and simple to use with its single volume knob. Highly recommend.
Pros: Awesome sound.

text: This is a weird one. Working on a friends bike and it died on him several times and he says the dash lights were off when this happened and then would turn the switch off and restart. When I got it I noticed that sometimes when you held the starter button on it would engage the starter for a split second then disengage and in a cycle of every 1 second or so it would engage and disengage. I could feel the starter relay with my hand engaging and disengaging. I put a test light on it and it was pulsing. One time it engaged and wouldn't stop cranking even with the emergency stop switch off, so I had to disconnect the battery. The fuel pump runs when I hit the starter. I don't have a manual. I checked pin one on the ecm for ground and it was good. Battery seems strong. fuses are good. Any ideas?

The Kennedy Center has chosen 36-year-old pianist Jason Moran as its artistic adviser for jazz, a post long held by acclaimed musician Billy Taylor until he died last year at 89.
Kennedy Center music directors say the generational handoff wasn't planned in advance but makes sense as jazz evolves. Moran's appointment was announced Tuesday.
As artistic adviser, Moran will help select artists and develop one of the nation's largest jazz programs. It includes more than 30 performances annually and concerts broadcast on NPR.
New York-based Moran says it's time for his generation to pass along traditions from the jazz greats. He began learning from Taylor at age 16.
Taylor, who played with Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, became an ardent jazz advocate through radio, TV and his Jazzmobile venue.

Obamacare on track to reach 7 million target
President Barack Obama's national healthcare program was on track to reach its goal of covering 7 million Americans, administration officials have said, a victory for the White House after a months-long, glitch-filled rollout.
Obama is scheduled to make a statement about the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, today in the White House.
Obama's remarks could be the start of a victory lap for his administration, which suffered from the botched unveiling of the program's primary website, HealthCare.gov, and wavering support from Americans years after the healthcare law passed over Republican objections.
"With the remarkable surge in enrollment, 7,041,000 people signed up for health insurance before the midnight deadline yesterday and that doesn't count the last day surge in signups in more than a dozen states that run their own marketplaces," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
Experts had predicted a last-minute surge. The number represented what the White House has called a comeback story that could boost Democrats in the November congressional elections.
Obama's party is seeking to hold on to control of the US Senate and minimize losses in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, but the problems with Obamacare have complicated congressional races and handed Republicans a key talking point for skeptical constituents.
After a White House meeting with Obama, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters her members were not running away from the issue as they approached the elections.
Monday's deadline for initial enrollment in the program came after a surge in registrations despite the return of technical problems, including a longer-than-expected maintenance session, although nothing as serious as the issues that beset the website's launch in October.
The site today announced that open enrollment for Obamacare had closed, but people whose applications were thwarted by technical problems would be given a chance to finish their registration.
By last week, more than 6 million people had signed up for private health coverage through the new Obamacare insurance markets, surpassing a target set after the disastrous rollout called the enrollment process into question.
Despite the figures, some questions about those who had signed up lingered.
"We still have a lot to learn about what underlies those numbers in terms of who signed up and how many were newly insured people versus switching from other coverage," said Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"We have more to see ... about how many of them actually completed enrollment and how much coverage expansion was accomplished."
The healthcare law, one of Obama's key promises as a presidential candidate in 2008, was intended to expand access to healthcare coverage for millions of uninsured Americans, so having enrollment figures that reflect newly insured people is critical to the program's success.
Having a robust percentage of healthy young people to offset older enrollees is also important. A breakdown was not yet available, Carney said, but the demographic mix would be sufficient to ensure that the health market places that form the cornerstone of the law would function smoothly.
Republicans pointed to several outstanding questions about the numbers, including how many of the enrollees had seen their plans canceled because of the new law; how many people saw their premiums go down; and how many people who selected plans actually completed the process and paid their premiums.
"We don't know of course, exactly what they have signed up for, we don't know how many have paid," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill, referring to the enrollees in the program.
"What we do know is that all across the country our constituents are having an unpleasant interaction with Obamacare. Whether they can sign up for a policy or not, they are discovering, of course, higher premiums, a higher deductible."
The future of Obamacare is one of the top issues in the November elections. House Speaker John Boehner on Monday pledged once again to repeal the program.

SDCC ASXXXX License
2008-07-22 Alan Baldwin, the original asxxxx author, wrote me the following e-mail:
I am pleased to give you permission to change the sdcc ASxxxx version to the GPL license. Have you any thoughts about which version, 2 or 3, of the GPL is best for the project? I haven't decided upon the GPL version for the newest ASxxxx and ASlink at this time. Alan
2008-11-17 Ken Hornstein, contributor of the implementation of object libraries in file lklibr.c, wrote me the following e-mail:
Yes, I give you permission to change the license of any code that I wrote for asxxxx to GPL (personally, I actually prefer a BSD-style license, but since you've already made the decision to use GPL then it's not a big deal for me). --Ken
2009-01-03 John Hartman, author of ASXXXX and ASLINK port for 8051, contributor of the implementation of functions required to create a NoICE debug file (lknoice.c), allocated string storage module (lkstore.c) and many other enhancement and fixes:
Since Alan Baldwin has given his permission, I give my permission as well. Best regards, John Hartman
2009-01-03 I, Borut Ražem [user:borutr], took the decision:
The SDCC branch of asxxxx package will be licensed under GPL "either version 2, or (at your option) any later version".
2009-01-12 Alan Baldwin sent me the following e-mail, which means that we (I) have to change our decision if we want to be able to merge the code from the original asxxxx.
Borut, I have been giving the licensing selection some thought over the last few weeks. I have decided to use the GPL V3 for the next release of the ASxxxx Assemblers (V5.0). Hopefully this will be a more long term licensing scheme rather than starting with GPL V2 and then changing later. Regards, Alan
2009-02-05 Changed sdcc asxxxx license to GPLv3
2009-04-01 Alan Baldwin released asxxxx Version 5.0 licensed under GPLv3 or later. The legal path to synchronize or re-merge both branches is now open!
All sdcc asxxxx contributors have to agree with the license change and to vote which GPL version to use.

New For 2013
A new front lip, a seal between the cab and bed, and various other aerodynamic add-ons help improve fuel economy by a few mpg. A new Desert Runner model for rear-wheel-drive trucks includes unique wheels, Bilstein shock absorbers, and special badges. The SV Premium Utility package is replaced by the Value Truck Package, and bundles floor mats, dual-zone air conditioning, a backup camera, parking sensors, and a trailer hitch. Glacier white, graphite blue, and cayenne red join the list of color choices. On all models, the grille, badges, and seat embroidery has been redesigned.
Although the Frontier is smaller than the full-size pickups that dominate the truck market, it is plenty of truck for most buyers. A fully boxed chassis, steel construction, and a leaf-spring rear suspension mean the medium-size Frontier has almost as much capability as a bigger vehicle. Ample tow ratings, a large bed, and a big interior make the Nissan a real workhorse. It's available with a King Cab and hinged rear half-doors or with a four-door crew cab. There is a 152-hp four-cylinder engine for the base King Cab model, but all other trim levels get a 4.0-liter V-6 with 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. For serious work, four-wheel-drive models come standard with a low-range mode and can be equipped with a locking rear differential, tough Bilstein shock absorbers, and skid plates, making the Frontier useful off the beaten track. Hill-descent control and hill-start assist are standard on 4WD models with the automatic transmission. The Frontier's interior has such practical touches as dual locking glove boxes, an optional fold-flat passenger seat, and lots of cupholders. The plain design and the durable plastics look a bit dated. However, the Nissan Frontier is nearly as capable as some full-size trucks, and its tidier dimensions and lower price make it an attractive choice for buyers who need to do light towing, hauling, or off-roading.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags are standard, as are stability and traction control, ABS with brake assist, and a tire-pressure monitoring system. Hill-start assist and hill-descent control are standard on four-wheel-drive models with the automatic transmission.
You'll like:
- Macho looks
- All the truck most people need
- Good payload and towing capacities
You won't like:
- Somewhat dated interior
- V-6 drinks fuel like the bid boys do
Key Competitors For The 2013 Nissan Frontier
- Honda Ridgeline
- Toyota Tacoma
Sum Up
Big-truck performance in a medium-truck package.

Coghlan gets Minors deal, spring invite with Cubs
Former Rookie of the Year non-tendered by Marlins after injury-plagued season
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
Chris Coghlan, the 2009 National League Rookie of the Year Award winner, has signed a Minor League contract with the Cubs that includes a Spring Training invitation.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Coghlan will make $800,000 if he makes the Major League roster. The left-handed-hitting outfielder/third baseman can earn another $250,000 in incentives.
A supplemental first-round pick by the Marlins in 2006, Coghlan emerged in 2009, batting .321 with a .390 on-base percentage. But after his stellar rookie season, the 28-year-old has dealt with a number of injuries.
With Miami last year, Coghlan appeared in 70 games and batted .256 with a .318 on-base percentage. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 9 with right calf irritation, and he also was bothered by a back issue.
A converted infielder, Coghlan has spent most of his MLB career in the outfield, where he can play all three positions. He saw limited action (eight games) in 2013 at third base.
The Marlins non-tendered Coghlan on Dec. 2, making him a free agent.
Coghlan is a career .270 hitter with a .337 on-base and a .390 slugging percentage.

Canadiens top the Leafs 4-3 at the ACC that should have fans leaving the building feeling they got their money's worth, and which keeps the Habs train rolling and the Leaf apple cart tottering on the edge of the cliff.
It was a back and forth affair, a bunch of posts behind Carey Price were hit, just two penalties were called for each team on the night, and it was tense going in the final minutes when the Leafs pulled James Reimer and the Habs were holding on.
Montreal looked like they were going to burst it wide open in the first when Max and Rene Bourque both beat Reimer on his glove hand, and maybe a third goal would have really got the ball rolling considering Reimer's fragile confidence.
But credit to Reimer. He came up with some great saves after those two goals, the game never got out of hand, and the Leafs battled back to tie it until a late first period goal by Brian Gionta made it 3-2 Habs.
Scoreless in the second, and then the obnoxious Nazem Kadri was left open at the side of the net and banged it home to tie things at three.
It was nerve wracking to be sure, and heart-stopping when sniper Phil Kessel waltzed in on Carey Price. But Price would stop Kessel, and soon after Tomas Plekanec converted some nice passing from Markov and P.K. and the boys held on and got it done.
Rene Bourque contributed a goal and assist on this night after being a healthy scratch for the last five games, and he played with rare passion. So much so that HNIC named him the game's first star.
Imagine that. Rene Bourque. Can he do it again two nights from now?
Speaking of HNIC, the intermissions were all Leafs, all the time. Leafs, Leafs, Leafs. This is one of the main reasons I grew up hating the white and blue. Rarely a mention of the Canadiens.
And at the end of the game, Glenn Healy proclaimed that the Leafs were the much better team on the night, even though Montreal outshot Toronto in the first two periods, the shots overall were even at 36 each, and the Habs won the game.
What the Leafs did win was in the hits department, with 37 to Montreal's 18.
Dion Phaneuf tried to get rough with little David Desharnais, and considering the way Phaneuf fights, this was a fair matchup.
A great win, the screws are tightening on the Leafs, and the Canadiens are jockeying for a nice playoff seeding. It's also Toronto's fourth straight loss which adds to the festivities!
Now it's Monday in Boston for Les Glorieux when they meet a Bruins team that's racked up 12 straight wins. But all streaks must eventually come to an end. Like on Monday.

Study on Public Agricultural Insurance in China——Based on Xinjiang Mode
Presently, China, which has set up four agricultural insurance companies, emphasizes the work in experimental units of agricultural policy insurance, and enlarges the area of experimental units. Through these experimental units explore different modes of China's agricultural insurance, as well as establish policies to encourage commercial insurance companies participate in agricultural insurance. Based on Xinjiang mode, public agriculture insurance is a suitable mode for agricultural insurance in China.

New Man of Steel Poster: Can You Arrest Superman?
- By
- 173 Comments
Fresh Man of Steel story details have been in short supply lately – as attention has turned to a major marketing push for the film with the release of The Hobbit. As we've previously reported, Zack Snyder's Superman film will debut a new trailer alongside The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – as both films fall under the Warner Bros. banner.
Recently, the director described the forthcoming trailer as "crazy," a major departure from the somber (but beautiful) Man of Steel teasers, a point that is further supported by a new official poster for the film – one that features a handcuffed Superman surrounded by a heavily armed military escort.
The new poster is the "reward" that Warner Bros. promised Batman fans on the official Dark Knight Rises Facebook page two weeks ago. For every "Like" that the Dark Knight Rises countdown page received, followers would get one step closer to a sneak peek piece of Man of Steel content. Conveniently, the timing of the "unlock" coincides with the near-end of the countdown, The Dark Knight Rises releases tomorrow (at the time of this writing) on DVD/Blu-ray, but nevertheless the poster is certainly bound to generate a positive response – not to mention plenty of speculation.
Check out the new Man of Steel image below (click to enlarge):
Aside from continuing to ground Man of Steel with a Christopher Nolan-like "serious" tone, the poster features an image that is somewhat foreign to typical Superman iconography. Instead of "Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" free-flying or "Stronger than a locomotive" super-strength imagery, the Man of Steel is bound with (possibly Kryptonite) handcuffs and guarded by a group of no-nonsense soldiers.
Some fans might initially dismiss the image as little more than a provocative piece of marketing material. However, a similar in-action shot from the film (depicting Superman climbing to his feet) was later revealed to be an actual sequence from the movie – where the Man of Steel is on the receiving end of a hit that sends him careening into a vault door. As a result, expect this shot of a detained Superman to actually factor into the Man of Steel plotline.
How exactly a Superman arrest will be included is, of course, only speculation at this point – especially since the film is not going to include the hero's usual Kryptonite-loving antagonist, Lex Luthor. Not to mention that this installment's leading bad guy, Zod (Michael Shannon), would be equally adverse to that substance.
Still, it's hard to imagine a human military force successfully conquering Superman – to the point that the Kryptonian is voluntarily walking down a hallway to uncertain doom. Maybe the scene occurs early in the film (when the Man of Steel first reveals himself) or Zod could harness some form of leverage (the destruction of Metropolis, harm to a non-super powered person) in order to force a Superman surrender? We've seen this angle played out recently in Transformers: Dark of the Moon – where the malevolent Decepticons used hollow promises as a means to remove threats to their occupation of Earth. Maybe, much like the Autobots in Transformers 3 (who pretended to leave the planet), Superman turns himself in to temporarily appease his enemies (or critics) – buying everyone time before he regains the upper hand?
Previously, we reported on potential Man of Steel spoilers that point to a large-scale final battle sequence – and it's certainly possible that this new image of Superman in handcuffs is merely the calm before that storm. That said, it could be Snyder's teased Justice League connection – maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the new Batman, helps arrests the Man of Steel? Right, probably not.

Body in freezer as man preached
Anthony Hopkins of Mobile is charged with murdering his wife and sexually abusing his eldest daughter, who tipped off police Wednesday, July 30, 2008 By ROBERT McCLENDON Staff Reporter
While Anthony Hopkins was leading a revival in a small church on the outskirts of Jackson, Ala., Monday night, the body of a woman, presumed to be his wife, was stuffed in a freezer at his house in Mobile, waiting to be discovered by police.
Acting on a tip given by Hopkins' daughter, the eldest of eight children, police said they knew where to look and what they were likely to find when they searched the Rylands Street house.
Clarke County Sheriff's deputies found Hopkins at the church a short time later, still preaching and ministering to people in the crowd, according to the pastor of the congregation hosting the revival.
It could be the last sermon he preaches as a free man. Hopkins now sits in Mobile County Metro Jail, charged with murdering his wife, 36-year-old Arletha Hopkins. He could face life in prison if convicted.
The body had yet to be positively identified Tuesday night, but authorities said they were confident that it was Hopkins' wife.
Mobile Police Chief Phillip Garrett said it could be a few days before the body is positively identified, a delay caused principally by the condition of the corpse, which he said looked like it had been in the freezer for "quite a while."
As of Tuesday morning, when Garrett held a news conference to announce Hopkins' arrest, it was not even known how Arletha Hopkins had been killed or what condition her body was in.
Officers removed the small chest-style freezer from Hopkins' house in its entirety, transporting it to the Mobile office of the Department of Forensic Sciences.
Exactly how long she had been in the freezer remains unclear, Garrett said, but nobody has heard from Arletha Hopkins in more than three years.
She had never been reported missing.
She might never have been discovered if Hopkins' 19-year-old daughter hadn't come forward and talked to police attached to the Child Advocacy Center.
Detectives found out about the body during the interview, Garrett said. They also found out that Hopkins had been sexually abusing the eldest child, Garrett said.
In addition to the murder charge, Hopkins also faces charges of rape and sodomy.
Details about Hopkins' past remained sketchy Tuesday.
Police described him as an evangelist, an itinerant preacher who toured various churches around the area holding revivals. He hadn't been in the Mobile area for long, according to Garrett. Hopkins kept a low profile.
Neighbors on his central Mobile block said they didn't know him well, only as "Rev." His children played in the yard often, they said, but they weren't allowed to play with other kids on the street. None of them recalled seeing Hopkins with his wife.
He did apparently have some roots in Jackson, where he had led several revivals in the past, according to Beverly Jackson, the pastor of Inspiration Tabernacle Church, the site of Monday night's revival meeting where Hopkins was taken into custody.
Jackson said several of her congregants came to her and asked if Hopkins could hold a revival at their church.
"Everybody liked him, said he was a kind man," Jackson said, "And they liked the way he ministered."
Jackson said she didn't know
Hopkins well, having only met him once, many years ago. When he reintroduced himself, he said his wife died giving birth to their youngest child. Jackson said she thought that was odd. She hadn't mentioned his wife at all.
Still, she said, he seemed nice enough, and he was highly recommended, so she agreed to host the revival. It was supposed to last all week. It lasted only one night.
With seven of his children in the front row Monday night — the eighth was meeting with Mobile police — Hopkins launched into his sermon, much of which centered on the topic of forgiveness, Jackson said.
"I felt in my spirit that he knew what was going to happen to him. Even if he didn't know it was going to happen here," Jackson said, reflecting on Hopkins' message.
Hopkins told the congregation that his eldest daughter had left the house.
"He said he told her she had to do what she had to do," Jackson said. Looking at his seven children, "He asked them to forgive him for his sins: past, present and future."
When his sermon concluded, Jackson said, he began to minister individually to people in the crowd. His children played accompanying music on instruments he had brought with him. There was even a miniature drum set for one of his younger sons.
When he worked his way away from the pulpit, Jackson said, deputies and police entered, guns drawn, and took him into custody.
She took the children out of the church, playing with the younger ones, who seemed not to understand exactly what was happening. The older daughters, she said, hardly reacted at all.

Y'all come on up to Columbus, Ohio this Saturday and get yourselves de-baptized, y'hear. Edwin.

I have some software I would like to sell online, so that a customer would go in, buy it with credit/visa/master card etc, and be given a special download link to download it.
Couple of questions:
1) What does it take to handle credit card information from users? Are there companies that would handle all the money stuff? If so, how much money would they take from each sale?
2) If I rolled my own, what sort of problems might I face? I am proficient with PHP and .NET, so I could do the web side, but what about the money side? I've never worked with anything like that.
3) I would like to make my own page where the users enter payment details and everything, and then for my page to submit that information to the bank or whatever and have the money transferred into my account.
4) The customers my software is aimed at is other software companies and businesses. Would my sales be lower because I'm making them only purchase via credit card and a download? It will only be like a 10mb download at most.
The sort of system I'm looking to create is this

I found this ammonite on the Jurassic coast a few years ago. It's 11 inches across and took for ever to prep from a solid block of limestone.
The only picture I've been able to find of something similar is of an ammonite at the Cardiff museum which is an apoderocerus leckenbyi. Can anyone out there confirm or otherwise that this is the correct id?
Very nice Gromit, fantastic prep to keep the spines.
Nice find! It has great details.
Hi Gromit
Forgot to say that's a 'big un' !
We can very occasionally find one on the Holderness, but with all of the fossils being of an erratic nature only the smaller ones usually survive and not with the spines like yours.
It's something special and one to keep forever, well done.
I can't believe the spikes are still on it.
Thanks for your comments.
As I said it was a nightmare to prep and I would be lying if I said I didn't need to use any super glue
The outer part was well rotted before fossilisation so there would have been another two thirds of a whirl making it around 15 inches across.
Hi Gromit
Still a great ammonite though.
Hi, think I have found one of these today also on the Jurrasic coast, around 7" has all the spines around the edge, it isn't prepped atm and still in concretion, I'm finding it hard to get a solid ID on it too. Thanks.
Looks like it to me - Pages 234-5 and Plate 38 of "Fossils of the Lower Lias of the Jurassic Coast" (Pal. Assoc. Lond. 2010)

St. Louis ideal backdrop for starry night
All-Star Game city steeped in not only baseball history
By B.J. Rains / MLB.com
Connecting the Cardinals with the city of St. Louis like their rich history has done for more than 100 years, the arches were designed to mirror the iconic Gateway Arch that opened in downtown St. Louis not even a year before Busch Stadium officially opened in 1966.
While the stadium and its arches have since been torn down and replaced with the new Busch Stadium that will host the 80th Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 14, the history of the city of St. Louis and its place in not only baseball history but world history remains strong.
The Arch, which was finished in 1965 and opened to the public in '67, remains the tallest monument in the United States at 630 feet high.
Almost as identifiable to St. Louis is the city's relationship with Anheuser-Busch, whose world headquarters and first brewery were located just south of downtown before they were sold last year. The company's North American headquarters remain in St. Louis, as does the brewery, which first opened as the Bavarian Brewery in 1852.
The Cardinals were owned by the Busch family from 1953-96. The world famous Budweiser Clydesdales continue to make appearances at Busch Stadium, taking laps around the warning track on Opening Day and for playoff appearances.
St. Louis is also known for the creation of toasted ravioli, a small appetizer of meat or cheese wrapped in square ravioli, breaded and deep fried and served with marinara sauce. Still absent from most other cities in the country, toasted ravioli is on the menu in almost all St. Louis restaurants, including those on "The Hill," an area of Italian restaurants that was the home to Italian immigrants in the early 1900's, including baseball legends Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola.
The city of St. Louis, like several other cities, also claims to have the world's first skyscraper. The 10-story Wainwright Building, which was built by 1892, still stands at Chestnut and Seventh Streets downtown, and it is used as a government office building by the state of Missouri.
The history of St. Louis and its importance within the world dates back to at least 1904, when the city hosted the World's Fair in Forest Park to celebrate the Centennial of the Louisiana Purchase. It was at the fair that several foods, including hamburgers, hot dogs, peanut butter, iced tea, cotton candy and the waffle-style ice cream cone, were said to be invented. Many believe, however, that the foods were not invented, but rather introduced to the world and popularized at the fair as the soft drink Dr. Pepper was.
Several buildings from the fair remain fully functional today, including the art and history museums in Forest Park. The fair also inspired the famous song, "Meet Me in St. Louis," as witnessed in the 1944 movie, "Meet Me in St. Louis," starring Judy Garland.
The St. Louis area was also the starting point for the famous Louis and Clark Expedition of 1804, when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory.

Giving evidence to an inquest, Elouise Keeling's mother described the events surrounding her daughter's death as "chaos".
Karen Keeling watched helplessly as Elouise collapsed with breathing problems at RAF Brampton near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire on June 25 last year.
An ambulance was called at 7.44pm, but was sent to RAF Wyton, 10 miles away, by mistake and did not arrive until 8.03pm, coroner David Morris was told.
Elouise, who had suffered from asthma since she was 18 months old, died at the scene.
Mrs Keeling told the inquest at Huntingdon Law Courts that she rushed to her "popular and bubbly" daughter's side after she fell ill.
She said: "She rang me and said 'Mum, my asthma is really bad, you need to come now'. She sounded really panicked.
"When I got to her she was lying on her back. Her eyes were open, but she was unconscious."
Mrs Keeling overheard a phone conversation with the ambulance service.
"I heard him saying 'You shouldn't be there, you've gone to the wrong RAF base'," she explained.
"When they arrived it was quite chaotic."
Crews are supposed to respond to the highest priority cases within eight minutes, but that journey took 19 minutes.
Michael Smith, a senior Air Cadet instructor, made the 999 call as Elouise struggled for breath.
He said the call handler insisted on him giving a postcode: "She asked if it was RAF Brampton and Wyton.
"I said it was two separate bases and RAF Brampton was in the village of Brampton."
The inquest heard that a call handler had assumed that because the two bases were linked administratively, they were geographically close together.
Suzanne Truston, who took the call at an ambulance service base 75 miles away in Norwich, said: "Linked, to me, means close to or next to."
She said the problem had come to light when she asked Mr Smith how far he was from a water tower, which was actually near Wyton.
"In hindsight the road name would have helped and I now always ask for a road name for any RAF base," she added.
Wing Commander Anthony Kelly, who is in charge of Air Cadets in Huntingdon, told the inquest there had been incidents in 2006 and 2012 when ambulances had been unable to find the base because of an issue over the postcode.
Since Elouise's deaths, both sites have been allocated individual postcodes.
The East of England Ambulance Service has been widely criticised over delays in recent months.
In December the family of Peter Nelson, 26, spoke out when he died following a two-hour ambulance wait after he collapsed at his home in Blakeney in Norfolk.
The incident came four months after a coroner described the trust's crews as "chaotic" after hearing three-month-old Bella Hellings died when paramedics took more than three times longer than national targets dictate to reach her home in Thetford in Norfolk.
In October last year, another inquest heard Evelyn Heath, 93, from Attleborough, Norfolk, died from an irregular heartbeat in the back of an ambulance after the vehicle took more than four hours to reach her care home.
The inquest is expected to conclude on Wednesday.

I approached this problem with 180 degrees opposite angle. I started more top game "natural". Then later a monstrosity of a wrestler started with us, and I could no longer get any of my "natural" game going. Shut down.
I had to develop guard.
Since it wasn't natural, I had to break it down into small parts and drill. First closed guard gi and butterfly nogi, then delariva gi, etc. I guess though since there are natural divisions on different kind of guards, that kind of broke it down into bite sized pieces for me.
So you'd have to break down the top game similarly. You can do it positionally, both offense and defense. So like:
1) In Guard - how to not get submitted or swept. Base, where to put hands, where to put weight to counter attacks. When to stand, etc.
2) Passing Guard - drill the 2 or 3 standard guard passes (toreando, knee cutter, over/under) until you can chain them together without thinking. There are many more details to these passes you haven't learned yet I'll guarantee. Expand out to a bunch more types of guard passes.
3) Side Control - how to maintain position and attack. how to transition.
4) Mount - control and attacks
5) North/South - you need this game nogi.
I see people do those mind maps to help chain parts of their game together and make it more coherent. They are cool. You can do it on a piece of toilet paper with crayons if you need. One circle that says "North/South" then a bunch of little connected circles that deal with offense/defense from there, submissions, transitions, etc. Put it together in your mind, then put it together drilling until you can execute it.
The other thing is many people develop guard because they are lazy to develop skill from the feet with takedowns. Judo for gi, and wrestling for nogi offer whole realms of skill learning that totally chain together into the top game. And they both are pretty unlimited as far as how much you can learn. I mean check out Jimmy Pedro for judo and Cary Kolat for wrestling. If you get great at takedowns, you can bypass the whole guard pass altogether.
Oh, and good luck :)

Still working on the issue, with mixed results.
As for Take downs, I feel quite confident about my ankle trips. Due to mat space issues, they start from the knees at my new school... So not much to do here at the moment.
I suck at knee wrestling! Hence I am trying the "jump to sweep" tactic, with mixed success.
I can hit sweeps on folk my weight and a bit up but yesterday I tried that against a giant who has about 60 to 80 lbs on me (heck I don't do lbs, we work with kg - okay - I am 67ish and he was 100+-) and I just got no where. Fucker sat back in my guard (I tried to out wrestle him, he took side mount, that is when I called it quits and went for close guard) and I just couldn't get anything working.
The only time I got to make him move was when I started to work cross collar chokes, isolating arms etc. but I still couldn't hit any sweep he was just sitting there and that was that.
The rest of the rolls I worked my passing game, which is getting better and better, working my way to mount and then just jacked around working z mount and transition back and forth between mount and side mount for the rest of the roll. I am doing quite well with solid shoulder pressure and passing half guard.
I will have to put in some serous extra hours drilling sweeps I guess.
Also memo to myself, work two on one more often, I am just not strong enough for anything else.

Funny thing about that, guy sits right down... folks ain't that nice to me :)
I liked how he got the deep half guard, to get under him as much as possible and then sweep.
When he went for that triangle, he had to bail because he just couldn't make it work (he is just to small to close his legs)...
I would like to have seen that match with a gi.
On a strange side note, anybody knows the full name of the Ref in the video? He used to be a purple couple of years ago at Renzos and he gave me some nice pointers when I trained there. Something like Dino or Gino, I can't remember...

Routes / Re: Allegheny Loop Info« on: October 01, 2012, 06:38:15 pm »
We just finished riding this route last week and have written a crazyguy journal which will fill you in on all that you might want to know and it will answer some of your questions. We definitely recommend your buying the ACA downloadable (and printable maps). They are really necessary! Hope you have fun and that you enjoy this route. It IS challenging but going with a group is a great idea! There are some very remote sections of this ride. If you only read one part of the journal, read the conclusion which my husband wrote as it is very informative! Let us know if you have any other questions.

My throttle has a little sticky release (I perfer a quick smooth spring back). Aside from WD 40, is there anything all y'all can recommend to lube the cable?

BMW cables are not meant to be lubricated. It can actually make it worse. I believe they have an internal lining of a Teflon-type material - others may know exactly.
I would look for binding somewhere along its routing or even withing the grip. Otherwise, a replacement may be in order.
No lube for the BMW cables on oilheads and later bikes.
Check the throttle grip to make sure the rubber isn't binding on the bar weight or at the switch block. As the grips deteriorate with age they can stretch off the ends a bit and bind. Also a good idea to remove the whole throttle grip assembly and clean it up. Grunge can build up in there and cause it to bind as well. Then that just leaves the cable if the problem is not corrected.

I can't wait to retire and have a fixed income. The one I have now is always broke.
Ditto on the "no lube" on cables. So, how old are your cables? I'm betting OEM?
I use that "teflon/graphite" spray lube (there are a ton of brands) that you get at a locksmith's shop. No gummy build up. And no ring around the collar either.... .

Toss that WD-40...there are so many better products available to do the job that this stuff is supposed to do...
