An early crop of advanced crash avoidance technologies includes some clear success stories when it comes to preventing crashes, insurance claim analyses show.
Forward collision avoidance systems, particularly those that can brake autonomously, along with adaptive headlights, which shift direction as the driver steers, show the biggest crash reductions in the studies by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). One feature, lane departure warning, appears to hurt, rather than help, though it's not clear why, and other systems aren't showing clear effects on crash patterns yet.
"As more automakers offer advanced technologies on their vehicles, insurance data provide an early glimpse of how these features perform in the real world," says Matt Moore, HLDI vice president. "So far, forward collision technology is reducing claims, particularly for damage to other vehicles, and adaptive headlights are having an even bigger impact than we had anticipated."
Last year, HLDI reported a reduction in claims from Volvo's City Safety, a forward collision avoidance system that applies the brakes automatically to prevent or mitigate low-speed front-to-rear collisions. Volvo XC60s with standard City Safety had fewer claims than other midsize luxury SUVs and other Volvos without the feature (see "Volvo's City Safety prevents low-speed crashes and cuts insurance costs," July 19, 2011). Now HLDI has data on a wider group of features, including some that could have an impact on more serious crashes than the low-speed fender-benders prevented by City Safety.
Acura's autonomous braking system was one of several advanced crash avoidance technologies demonstrated last year on the track at the Institute's Vehicle Research Center. The driver of the silver vehicle, an Acura ZDX, followed the moving target (mounted to the black SUV), coming close enough to activate the auto brake.
Earlier research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimated that if every vehicle on the road were equipped with four types of crash avoidance features — forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot detection and adaptive headlights — nearly a third of all crashes could potentially be prevented or mitigated (see "New estimates of benefits of crash avoidance features on passenger vehicles," May 20, 2010). That estimate assumes that the systems work exactly as intended and that drivers react correctly to warnings, so it's not surprising that so far the measured benefits from these systems tend to be more modest.
HLDI analysts looked at how each feature affected claim frequency under property damage liability (PDL) insurance, which covers damage to another vehicle caused by the insured vehicle, and collision insurance, which covers damage to the insured vehicle. They also looked at claims for injuries under three coverage types. Injuries to other road users, including occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians, are covered by bodily injury liability insurance, while injuries to occupants of the insured vehicle are covered by either medical payment insurance or personal injury protection, depending on the state.
Claim frequency is the number of claims relative to the number of insured vehicle years. An insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for one year, two vehicles for six months, etc. The model years of the vehicles included ranged from 2000 to 2011, depending on when an automaker introduced a feature. Insurance data through August 2011 were used.
The crash avoidance systems studied were all offered as optional equipment. Most of the data came from luxury brands, the first to offer such features, though more and more nonluxury vehicles also offer them now. The automakers supplied HLDI with identification numbers of vehicles that had each feature, allowing HLDI to compare the insurance records for those vehicles with the same models without the feature.
In each analysis, HLDI controlled for a number of factors that could influence claim rates, including driver age and gender, garaging state and collision deductible.
Forward collision warning systems alert the driver if the vehicle is gaining on the traffic ahead of it so quickly that it is about to crash. Some of these systems also are equipped with autonomous braking, meaning the vehicle will brake on its own if the driver doesn't respond in time. These systems operate at higher speeds than City Safety, which doesn't provide any warning before it brakes.
Claims for the front-to-rear collisions that forward collision avoidance systems are meant to address are common under PDL coverage, and HLDI found the technology reduces PDL claim frequency. Claim frequency under collision coverage, which includes many of the same crashes that fall under property damage liability but also a lot of single-vehicle crashes that these systems are not designed to address, also was reduced but by a smaller amount.
HLDI examined forward collision systems offered on Acura, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo vehicles. PDL frequencies for Acura and Mercedes models were 14 percent lower when the vehicles were equipped with forward collision warning with autonomous braking than when they weren't. Volvo's autonomous braking system also reduced the claim rate 10 percent, but that finding wasn't statistically significant. The Volvo system comes bundled with lane departure warning and fatigue warning, so that figure may be affected by those features as well.
Front-to-rear collisions also result in many claims for minor injuries like whiplash and back sprains to the occupants of the struck vehicle, and all the systems reduced claims under bodily injury liability insurance. Although those reductions weren't statistically significant, they are encouraging and consistent with the observed reduction in PDL claims. For Acura and Mercedes vehicles with auto brake, claim frequency for injuries to the insured vehicle's occupants tended to be lower as well, while results were the opposite for Volvo. None of these results was statistically significant.
HLDI also examined separate Mercedes and Volvo systems that don't include autonomous braking. These appear to lower crash rates, too, but not to the same extent as the versions that do include it. These systems probably have more modest effects on PDL claims because they rely on drivers to respond appropriately to warnings and can't directly avoid crashes. There also are other differences between systems that do and don't have auto brake. For example, Volvo's system without auto brake is functional only at speeds over 20 mph, while the version with auto brake starts working at 3 mph. These systems also seem to reduce the frequency of bodily injury claims for other road users, but evidence is mixed for injury claims by the occupants of the insured vehicle. More data are needed to know the effect for certain.
Forward collision avoidancePercent differences in claim frequency with and without
1All Volvo vehicles with auto brake also have lane departure warning and fatigue warning.
Adaptive headlights respond to steering input to help a driver see around a curve in the dark. The headlights' horizontal aim is adjusted based on the speed of the vehicle, direction of the steering wheel and other factors so that the lights are directed where the vehicle is heading.
When the Institute estimated the potential of this technology in 2010, researchers expected it could reduce single-vehicle run-off-road crashes, which would be reflected in collision claim frequency. However, HLDI's analysis of adaptive headlights offered by Acura, Mazda, Mercedes and Volvo found that of the various coverage types, collision had the smallest claim frequency reductions. The results did show decreases in injury claims for the insured vehicles — some of them large — in support of earlier expectations.
What is surprising is that vehicles with adaptive headlights had reductions in property damage and bodily injury liability claims, which both involve other road users. With the exception of Acura, bodily injury liability frequencies fell 10 percent or more, and all four manufacturers saw decreases in PDL frequencies ranging from 5 to 10 percent. This is a dramatic result, given that only about 7 percent of police-reported crashes occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. and involve more than one vehicle. An even smaller percentage are multiple-vehicle, nighttime crashes occurring on a curve, where adaptive headlights would be expected to have an effect. It's possible that other differences besides steerability between the adaptive headlights and conventional ones, for example, in brightness or range, may have played a role in reducing crashes with other vehicles.
"All four adaptive headlight systems we looked at show benefits for most insurance coverages, and many of these estimated reductions are statistically significant," Moore says. "These lights appear to help in more situations than we anticipated, though we don't yet know why."
Adaptive headlightsPercent differences in claim frequency with and without
In the Institute's 2010 analysis of the potential of crash avoidance technologies, lane departure warning was one of the stars. Researchers estimated it could prevent or mitigate up to 7,529 fatal crashes if all vehicles had it — the biggest potential fatal crash reduction of any of the features studied, primarily due to expected reductions in single-vehicle run-off-road crashes. In the HLDI study, however, lane departure warning systems from Buick and Mercedes were associated with higher claim rates under both collision and PDL coverages. Only Volvo's vehicles showed a reduction in claim rates under these coverages, as well as bodily injury liability, but Volvo's system is bundled with forward collision warning with autonomous braking, which more likely accounts for the estimated benefits. In addition, claim frequency for injuries to occupants of the insured vehicle was higher for vehicles with lane departure warning, although no results were statistically significant.
Volvo isn't the only vehicle make whose lane departure warning comes with another feature intended to prevent crashes. Buick's system is bundled with blind spot detection. That makes the lack of claim reductions for Buick even more perplexing.
Part of the disconnect between these results and the Institute's estimates of the feature's potential probably has to do with the fact that crashes in which vehicles drift off the road aren't common, even though they account for a large proportion of fatal crashes. This was reflected in the Institute study as well, which found that lane departure warning would be irrelevant to about 97 percent of police-reported crashes. The HLDI results also may point to problems with the current technology, which relies on cameras to track lane markings and thus isn't effective if the markings aren't clearly visible.
"Lane departure warning may end up saving lives down the road, but so far these particular versions aren't preventing insurance claims," Moore says. "It may be that drivers are getting too many false alarms, which could make them tune out the warnings or turn them off completely. Of course, that doesn't explain why the systems seem to increase claim rates, but we need to gather more data to see if that's truly happening."
Annoyance and false alarms were issues for Infiniti and Volvo owners surveyed by the Institute about crash avoidance features in 2009. Forty-three percent of Volvo owners and 46 percent of Infiniti owners reported receiving false or unnecessary lane departure alerts. Twenty-five percent of Volvo owners and 41 percent of Infiniti owners said the lane departure warning system was annoying (see "Luxury owners embrace systems to skirt crashes," Nov. 18, 2009). Although more than two-thirds of owners said they always kept the systems on, false alarms could cause drivers to ignore the warnings or react to them more slowly.
HLDI has yet to look at lane departure prevention, which, unlike a warning system, actively keeps a vehicle in its lane and could have a different impact on claims.
"Just as forward collision warning systems that include autonomous braking cut crashes more sharply than those that don't, lane departure prevention systems that don't rely on a driver's response may hold more promise than the systems HLDI has looked at so far," says David Zuby, the Institute's chief research officer. "The lane departure prevention systems are newer and less common than the warning systems, so we'll have to wait for more data before we can look for a pattern there."
Lane departure warningPercent differences in claim frequency with and without
1All Buick vehicles with lane departure warning also have blind spot detection.2All Volvo vehicles with lane departure warning also have auto brake and fatigue warning.
This Status Report focuses on the three crash avoidance technologies for which HLDI has the most information: forward collision avoidance, adaptive headlights and lane departure warning. The HLDI reports on which the conclusions are based also provide some results for additional technologies. Some of these results are promising: For example, Buick's rear park assist system appears to reduce PDL claims dramatically. However, the data on these features across brands is inconsistent. As more information becomes available on these technologies, Status Report will provide further summaries.
"These analyses are the first to estimate real-world effectiveness of several crash avoidance technologies that have been filtering into the market recently," Zuby says. "While some results indicate the need for further investigation, it's clear that certain systems, such as those that help drivers avoid collisions with the vehicle in front or better illuminate the road ahead, can play a role in making roads safer for everyone."
The cost of crashes
For every feature, in addition to claim frequency, HLDI also looked at the average payment per claim, known as claim severity. Claim severity for collision losses increased with most of the crash avoidance features.
This increase wasn't unexpected because many of these technologies eliminate less severe crashes first, meaning the ones that remain are on average more expensive. However, in some cases, collision claim severity went up sharply even when frequency didn't go down or fell only slightly. For example, with Mercedes' basic forward collision warning system, the frequency of collision claims inched down 3 percent, but severity shot up by $813. That's probably because the pricey radar sensors used by the system are mounted right behind the grille and thus are vulnerable to damage in a crash. The same issue applies to adaptive headlights, which are more expensive than regular headlights.
In practical terms, this means that even a technology that improves safety won't necessarily reduce insurance costs, which reflect both claim frequency and claim severity.
From curve speed warning to cross traffic alert to backup cameras, there's a long list of new technologies making their way into vehicles.
Forward collision avoidance systems, particularly those that brake autonomously, show some of the biggest crash reductions. Adaptive headlights also are surprisingly effective.
Adaptive headlights appear to be helping in more situations than previously anticipated, though it's not yet clear why.
Lane departure warning may have the potential to reduce fatal crashes, but so far no benefits from this feature have shown up in insurance data.

About Roule Petit OugandaisCatawiki is proud to embark once again on another exciting adventure under the guidance of Jean-Claude Géraud, a pro skater with a heart of gold. After stumbling upon a video of young Ugandans riding around in a haphazardly made skate park, he decided to create an organisation with the aim of shipping skateboarding goods to these children and thus helping them develop the practice of skateboarding in Uganda. This generous idea was a great success and has turned many young people away from delinquency. Jean-Claude Géraud originally comes from the Ivory Coast and arrived in France when he was 8 years old. Now 29 years old, he lives in the southwest of France, in the sunny city of Toulouse. He previously worked as a salesman and founded his own company 'City Of Talents', with the aim of promoting urban, contemporary and international artists and to develop urban art worldwide. Passionate about skateboarding and urban art, in 2014 he decided to create a skating organisation called 'Roule petit Ougandais', in order to help poor people and offer them the chance of having a skate park and access to education in the most remote and poor countries in the world. His first action was undertaken in Uganda, in 2016. Following this project, he decided to get even more involved in urban art and in 2016, he created a street art agency in order to promote urban artists. Jean-Claude is very much interested in this area because 'we learn from it every day and above all, we meet exceptional and enriching people'. He also adds, 'My hope is to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life'. Catawiki is organising an exhibition in collaboration with New York curator Melissa McCaig-Welles, which will consist of skateboards customised by international artists during the Wheels and Waves event in France. These skateboards will be shown at the exhibition and then auctioned on Catawiki. This auction aims to raise funds for the Mongolian Uukhai Skateboarding Association, helping youths build the very first skate park in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar, this coming August 2018. If enough money is raised, a library will also be built for the young children living in yurts outside Ulaanbaatar.

Steelers go defense in the 3rd round with LB Sean Spence, Miami. He'll play inside for the Steelers and will provide additional depth behind the starters while he learns the ropes of playing in the NFL . He does have 39 games of starting experience at weak OLB though so he's versatile, but the majority of his experience is obviously on the outside. He's a smaller player but super quick and great in pass coverage which is key with all the tight ends in routes these days.
According to Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler, Spence is a mack LB and will play special teams and provide depth behind Lawrence Timmons. He also told him at their meeting at the NFL combine that that no rookies comes in for the Steelers and starts at LB. Also according to Colbert: Larry Foote ready to take over for James Farrrior at buck LB and Stevenson Sylvester to back him up. (courtesy of Scott Brown from the Pittsburgh Trib).
Spence will make the final roster but he's going to have to prove himself on special teams and in the limited action he could see during the regular season. If injuries strike this unit he could be called upon quicker than Keith Butler and Dick Lebeau would like so he'll need to be ready.
The Steelers always keep a stock pile of linebackers on the roster. Spence has a lot of talent but as we know, linebackers for the Steelers take time to develop.
University of Miami Hurricanes
5'11 231 lbs
Miami, Florida
Spence has been a bright spot and a standout player on a rather uninspired Miami defense. He was a four-year starter at Miami, and although undersized he makes up for this deficiency through speed, instincts and overall athletic ability. He is a great defender on outside runs, as he can effortlessly run down his fastest opponents. He is stellar in coverage, and he can blanket tight ends and tackle from various angles. He makes quick decisions and executes on them. While size will be a concern as he enters the NFL, Spence will be defined by his ability to play free and get off blocks to make plays on the ball. While he was suspended in the fallout from the Nevin Shapiro booster scandal at Miami, there is little doubt of his true character and, likewise, his overall athleticism and ability. Look for him to be taken in the middle rounds, but he could be a late riser.
Spence's athleticism shows in all that he does. He can quickly diagnose a play and use his explosive hips to meet running backs and deliver the blow. He has fluid hips in coverage and uses his arm strength to shed blockers when he gets engulfed by bigger players. He is an experienced starter at a high level, and this should allow him to play fast and instinctively from the start at the next level. He has natural athletic ability to fit in a 4-3 scheme, in which he can play freely and flow to the ball. He is an active player and almost always involved on run plays.
Spence is undersized and needs to play free of big blockers on him to be productive. He can flow to plays but "rides the pole" and falls off tackles at times. The scheme he plays in is key to his production.

The staff did not know what options were gluten free, i went for the safe option which still made me sick. Not a clean kitchen be very careful if you go here, wouldn't trust anything

The staff will prepare your food using fresh ingredients from new bins. Some staff will try to argue and say they are all trained to not touch the spoon to the tortillas. That may be true but I have seen them do cross contamination that way and with touching using their hands. One manager in particular will argue with you. It sucks but I love me a burrito bowl lol just stand your ground if you are celiac. Calling ahead is best because I have gone in before and waited in a very long line, only to get to the front and be told (by that same manager who always argues) that they would need to serve the other customers first. I ended up leaving. UPDATE: Just tried to come back here and was explaining how I needed the ingredients out of fresh bins because even the utensil touching the tortilla would make me sick. He then proceeded to throw every utensil from the bins to the side and throw in new ones and then asked what I wanted. I will never come back here. It's been more than one occasion with rude staff and me leaving crying.

I love Qdoba you can get everything in a bowl. They also have hard shell corn tacos. One thing I love about this location is they use tongs for even the cheese and lettuce reducing cross contamination significantly. I have yet to get gluten'd at this location or any others.

I had a great experience. I said I needed to be GF and the gentleman immediately took his gloves off and washed his hands and forearms. The other guy switched gloves as well. I thanked them both and said that I'm newly diagnosed. To which the first man replied, "My kids have allergies, I get it." That made me happy and made me not feel like I was bothering them. I got a steak bowl and felt fine. I would go back!!

I told the young man behind the counter that I had Celiac. He immediately removed his gloves, washed his hands and put new gloves on. He told me everything I could eat, and then each item I chose, he opened a brand new container of and used a clean spoon. I could not have had a better experience!!!

17801 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98158
Fourth experience (Jan 2019): I had a burrito bowl with double meat. I did not get sick. Prior to my other dining experiences here, they did not change gloves or spoons at my request. I was very unhappy about this, however I did not get sick and I'm pretty sensitive to cross-contamination. Third experience: Same as first, see below. Excellent awareness and desire by staff to accommodate gluten issue. My overall suggestion is to be very straightforward with your server and insist they respect your gluten issue. They do a good job, but you need to also be assertive (if needed). A safe and delicious place to eat! Second experience: Not nearly as gluten friendly. Lady at counter had no idea what Celiac, gluten, or wheat allergy were or the issues they cause. No change of gloves or utensils. I know what to eat to stay GF and safe at Qdoba. I doubt I'll get sick, but this experience was no where as good as my last at this location. My advice would be to be insistent about the need for GF. First experience: Fantastic experience. Told the girl at the counter that I had Celiac's and needed strict GF. She immediately changed gloves and got new serving spoons. The entire staff took this very seriously. The Qdoba website is also quite informative, but you need to spend some time looking around and clicking miscellaneous links to find it. Thanks SEA-TAC Qdoba.

I had visited this location many times before being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After my diagnosis, I asked the person making the corn tortillas after I ordered corn soft tacos if their queso was gluten-free. He asked me if I had a gluten intolerance. When I told him I have Celiac Disease, he took off his gloves as well as the rest of the staff on the line, washed their hands and put on fresh gloves to make my order. All of them smiled while doing this and did not seem bothered at all. They were all trained to understand and it showed. He started the order over using a paper bowl never sitting it down on the counter. I cried because it was my first time in four months of visiting several restaurants after being diagnosed that any restaurant took precautions. I highly recommend Qdoba.

When asking the person working what was gluten free she replied oh just about everything except for the flour tortillas. I asked about the chips and she said they are corn. I asked if I could see a nutritional guide and it took about 5 minutes to find the only copy with stains all over it. The chips were marked as gluten. I also noticed a basket of chocolate chip cookies sitting with all the toppings. I let her know about the chips. She didn't seem to care and we left.

I've never had a problem here even though I always have chips and queso and the chips may be fried in common oil. But do not ask for shredded cheese or lettuce, as they grab it with their hands and therefore it's always contaminated. Not sure if they will take it from a fresh container and new gloves if you ask them (like Chipotle will). They are not as knowledgeable or careful as Chipotle is, but Qdoba's queso is WAY better.

Located in terminal A. At the front of the line, there's a list of all their ingredients with each allergy (wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, and nuts). It has symbols for contains the ingredient, and may contain it (aka cross contamination). For wheat and gluten, you can pretty much have everything except the tortillas, chips, brownies, and BBQ sauce (see photo). Get a burrito bowl. All the meat is safe. Taste: 5/5. Choices: many. Knowledge of gf: 3/5. Service: 5/5 very friendly.

The corn tortillas for my tacos were awfully elastic so I asked for the allergen menu and sure enough, they are made with wheat. Also, the corn chips and everything else you'd hope would not be made with wheat, is. Only safe bet is a bowl, unless you are celiac, in which case you should definitely not eat here.

My daughter has celiacs and this has become her favorite place in town. Excellent rice bowls and almost everything except their BBQ meats and flour tortillas are gluten free. The staff is quick to change gloves all the way down the line. She's very sensitive and hasn't gotten sick once.

Do not eat here! I have celiac and was hoping it would be a similar to experience to chipotle, but unfortunately here I am sick the next day. The girl at the counter washed her hands and switched gloves, but would not change spoons. Generally I'm okay without it, but apparently not this time! The supervisor on duty rolled her eyes at me when she tried to grab my bowl and I asked her not to because of the allergy - she had not changed gloves. On top of getting sick the bowl wasn't even good! Everything was really dry and not very flavorful. Celiacs beware.

Extremely unprofessional. My wife, who posted below, is celiac and ask them change their gloves. They argued so we left. When we called to complain, the night supervisor said that didn't happen and said we must have gone to Quiznos. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never be coming through this town again. My wife didn't eat because this was the only place that we trusted. What a mistake. The qudoba in our hometown is fantastic, but we are disappointed in the service we got at this one.

My daughter loves quesadillas and we were worried about the kids quesodilla since their press isn't dedicated. one of the workers quickly jumped in and took over, wrapping it in tinfoil to allow her the quesadilla she loves without worry. most of their items are gluten free, although not the chips. Their allergen list helps navigate and the tinfoil was used from start to finish to protect her food.

They also have corn tortillas that are not fried so they are listed as safe. Tons of gluten free toppings and fillings, including the queso.

Qdoba offers an online list of gluten free items and notes that there could be cross contamination. Usually I don't have an issue but this location was a mess. No one really knew what items were made as gluten free and there were items all mixed up in their bins (e.g., tortilla strips in the cheese bin). It did not inspire confidence in the staff or, in the end, the food. I was disappointed.

Amid wild applause, cheers and highfives, the 108th Wing learned on June 14 they had received an "Excellent" rating from the Inspector General's Office of Air Mobility Command during their readiness inspections at JB MDL.
Present at the IG out briefing were Maj. Gen. Maria Falca-Dodson, commander of the New Jersey Air National Guard; Navy Capt. Andrew Butterfield, deputy commander of JBMDL; Brig. Gen. Michael Cunniff, commander of the 108th Wing; commanders from the 108th Wing groups and various Wing Airmen and their families.
During the tough but fair inspection, they found that very strong leadership and teamwork were clearly evident at all levels in the 108th Wing, said the team of inspectors.
With a tough mission to support operation Odyssey Dawn, and other deployments around the globe, the 108th Wing prepared for two years to undergo the IG inspection.
"Team Air National Guard New Jersey; team joint base. I don't know what to call you, except I know to call you 'Excellent!'", said the IG team chief, Col. Andrew Molnar, as he announced the overall grade of the inspection to the 108th Wing personnel. "This is the best inspection I've ever witnessed and you can take that to the bank."
"'Brave and undisciplined will always lose or be killed by valor with discipline', and that is exactly what I saw in the Air National Guard," said Molnar.
"Teamwork from the joint base with you, and a discipline in every step of the operation at every rank, Airmen, NCO, officer, senior officer, leadership, a round of applause for yourself," continued Molnar as he described his overall observation of the 108th Wing during the inspection.
Cunniff thanked the IG team for their professionalism and fairness during the inspection.
In addition, Cunniff said he was proud of the Airmen of the 108th Wing for their hard work and excellent attitude throughout the inspection, and told his Airmen to thank their families for the sacrifices they made during preparations and deployments throughout the year as the Wing got ready for the inspection.
"I am extremely proud to be your commander," said Cunniff.

Ruaidh, pronounced Roy, was always the friendly one, while Rowan was always a little shy of strangers. Still, she was my constant couch companion while I was pregnant (both times). If you knew her and she knew you, she was cuddly.
Sure, she had her moments . . .like when she was laying next to you and sucking on her feet. She'd appear out of nowhere to be your little feline speedbump.
Folks, tonight she died. I'm not quite sure what was wrong, but she was gasping for breath and moaning. Every now and then she'd have a seizure. We all took turns sitting with her to let her know we loved her. She passed her final moments on a pillow.
Rowan, I'll miss you. Scott will miss you. The kids will miss you. You were an incredible kitty. May your spirit return to grace us.
We love you, Rowan. Thank you for blessing our lives.

The Blaze
Ed Klein: Bill Clinton 'Urging' Hillary to Release Benghazi Documents That Would 'Exonerate' Her, Destroy Obama's Re-Election Hopes
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi ahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to "legal counsel" to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein. Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been "urging" his wife to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
Appearing on TheBlazeTV's "Wilkow!" on Wednesday night, Klein told host Andrew Wilkow that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been having "big fights" for "two or three weeks" about the issue, according to his two sources on Clinton's legal counsel. While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would "exonerate" herself by releasing the documents that show she wasn't at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn't want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.
On Glenn Beck's radio show earlier on Wednesday, Klein said his information comes from two "very good" sources.
Wilkow pointed out the obvious, that the Obamas and the Clintons have a "very behind the scenes, tense relationship" — to put it lightly.
"I said to you last night, and I think I stand corrected, that it seemed like Obama out-Clintoned the Clintons," Wilkow said. "But Clinton seems to have gone along with all of this because he knew that Hillary would be exonerated in the end."
He then asked Klein whether he thought Clinton would resign over the Libya scandal and expose the truth.
"No," the author said immediately. "I can't imagine that she would resign. It would bring down the entire administration. [Obama] would lose the election and she would be essentially blamed by the left-wing base of the party."
"She will not be tarred with the blame for bringing down this administration," Klein added.
Watch the segment via TheBlazeTV below:
In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, Klein confirmed that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been engaging in "heated discussions" where the former president has urged his wife to "release the documents that would exonerate her." He reiterated that Clinton has refused to do so because she fears she would look like a "Judas," or a traitor, in the administration and it might hurt her chances for a presidential nomination in 2016.
If the claims turn out to be true and Clinton did suggest more security be sent to Benghazi, it is appropriate to ask: why didn't it happen?
Klein said Clinton's request for beefed up security would have to go through CIA special ops and or the Pentagon.
"But none of that would happen with the National Security advisor to the president of the United States Tom Donnellan going to the president and saying, 'We want to send reinforcements to Libya because our ambassador is in jeopardy,'" Klein explained.
Ultimately, he indicated the ultimate authority would have been President Obama.
Wilkow and Klein also discussed what role Obama's closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, played in the Benghazi cover-up.
By Obama's own admission, Klein said, the president never makes a big decision without first consulting with Jarrett.
"We have to assume that Valerie Jarrett, who is also by the way hooked into the Chicago campaign…that she was part of this cover-up in the White House."
He continued: "The CIA got cables, the Department of Defense got cables, the NSA got cables during the attack on Benghazi, in addition to the emails that have since been made public. We know that there are cables that we haven't seen yet, confirming the State Department cables that this was an al-Qaeda linked attack."
These new revelations, following Tuesday night's explosive report that 300 to 400 national security officials received emails detailing the Benghazi terrorist attack as it was happening, raise fresh questions about the truth behind the Benghazi attack.
The emails revealed that the Libyan radical Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack just two hours after it began. White House officials told CBS News that an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Libya, providing Washington with a live feed to the chaos that unfolded.

BEAM Pieces is a BEAM Reference Library site.
Batteries, compared
The purpose of this page is to go into a bit more depth on commonly-used batteries -- hopefully, as a helpful guide in your decisions about what to use in your 'bots. Here, I'll concern myself with the 3 most-common small battery packages -- AAA, AA, and "9V." Note that other package types are too numerous, and too ill-documented for me to do much with in any global sense. At the very least, when you find a pager or cordless phone battery that you're considering for use in a BEAMbot, you can use the data on this page to "rank" it, and see if it's worth the bother and cost (vs. some standard battery package).
Let's start with basic phisical data about the packages themselves:
While you'll be interested in the different packaging from the standpoint of deciding what will fit on your 'bot, it's not the end of this battery selection story. There are a number of different battery chemistries available for our use; while most likely, we'll be interested in rechargeable batteries (NiCd or NiMh), I'm also including Carbon Zinc and Alkaline data for comparison purposes.
Note that this is presented as "representative" data, most derived from the Eveready web site, and so may not (most likely will not) be precisely what other vendor's batteries will live up to.
You'll note a couple of things in this table. First, "9V" batteries don't always output 9 volts -- rechargeable batteries run at voltages 20% lower than do their non-rechargeable cousins. Second, while battery capacity (on the "nameplate") is specified in mAh (milli-Amp hours), I think we need to look at power (vs. current) storage in order to get a valid battery comparison -- so my charge density measures are in terms of mWh (milli-Watt hours, just mAh * nominal battery voltage). Third, you'll want to be concerned about both battery size and weight -- both will determine just how small your 'bot can get.
But enough with the preliminaries -- let's see what this data looks like when plotted. First, let's look at raw battery capacity:
Here you can see why rechargeable batteries are not more widely-used -- they still can't store the amount of power that an alkaline battery can. But looking just at the rechargeables, we can see that "9V" batteries aren't a universally good thing -- they can store just a bit more power (and in the case of NiMh, less power) than AA or AAA batteries. This result really came as a surprise to me.
But this chart only tells us part of the story. To get a good handle on 'bot design, we also need to know how our battery capacity will be impacted by size and / or weight limits. Note that the following charts over-state the storage "efficiency" of 9V batteries, since we can't run our 'bots at 9V (and so, these charts should ideally take into account losses involved in regulating a 9V battery's output down to 5V).
From these plots, we can conclude a few things with respect to battery selection and energy storage density:

'Dolly' the llama, seen wandering for nearly 6 months in Mich., is captured, to get new home
HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A llama spotted wandering for nearly six months in Michigan has been captured and is getting a new home.
Mlive.com reports (http://bit.ly/I8wtPD ) the llama that Kathy Kuzma calls "Dolly" was found Saturday in Oakland County's Holly Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit.
Kuzma has been on the lookout for the animal, which had been wandering her neighborhood. On Saturday, Lisa Davenport came to Kuzma's house to get a look at the llama. Davenport has three llamas of her own along with other animals at a Michigan farm.
The women walked into a field to give the llama some food, and Dolly stood still instead of being her usual skittish self. They then coaxed the llama into a barn.
Davenport plans to take the llama back to her own farm.

I. To assess safety, characterize toxicities, and determine the maximum tolerated dose of 5-AZA (azacitidine) with a fixed-dose of entinostat in patients with recurrent advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (Phase I) II. To determine the objective response rate of 5-AZA and entinostat in patients with recurrent NSCLC. (Phase II)
I. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of 5-AZA and entinostat in patients with recurrent NSCLC.
II. To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of 5-AZA and entinostat on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, histone acetylation, and gene re-expression in patients with recurrent NSCLC through analysis of blood, sputum and tissue biopsies.
III. To explore the effect of 5-AZA and entinostat on progression-free and overall survival in patients with recurrent advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
IV. To explore the differing response rates and progression-free survivals of two schedules of 5-AZA and entinostat in patients with recurrent advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of azacitidine followed by an open-label, phase II study.

Correlative study
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of azacitidine when given together with entinostat, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.0 (phase I) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]
- Objective response rate after treatment with azacitidine and entinostat using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (phase II) [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]
- Effect of entinostat and azacitidine on DNA methylation patterns and gene expression [ Time Frame: Baseline and days 10 and 29 ]The frequency of significant demethylation and acetylation will be summarized across dosing cohorts of azacitidine. The difference between the methylation indices post-and pre-treatment will be compared using paired Student's t-test. Similar analyses will be performed for the acetylation index. Relationships between changes in gene re-expression and clinical response will be assessed using Fisher's exact tests.
- Effect of entinostat and azacitidine on enhancing response to subsequent therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Determined by the method determined by Kaplan and Meier. 95% confidence intervals will be estimated.
- Pharmacokinetic profile of entinostat and azacitidine [ Time Frame: Baseline, day 1, 10, 15, 17, and 22 ]A Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression will be used to evaluate the association between azacitidine or entinostat exposure and methylation and acetylation changes expressed as a categorical variable (i.e.: response or no response). The azacitidine exposure parameters explored will be maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). The entinostat exposure parameters explored will be Vss.
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Determined by the method determined by Kaplan and Meier. 95% confidence intervals will be estimated.

London W1 Dominion Theatre
The mind boggles at what might actually pass for 'bizarre' in the world of [a]Eels[/a]...
The mind boggles at what might actually pass for 'bizarre' in the world of [a]Eels[/a]. After all, they're the band who donned 18th-century funeral togs for their last London date, who eke uplifting ecstasies from cancer, dementia and death. So when the band, minus E but including new live Eel Lisa Germano, open with an overture incorporating the melodies of the band's greatest 'hits' (augmented by a two-man brass section dressed as an accountant and a department store Santa, natch), no-one blinks an eyelid. Hey, it's [a]Eels[/a]. Weird is what they do.
So E strides on, blue denim trucker's ensemble clashing nicely with his rhythm section's OK Corral chic, sits at his saloon-bar piano and pounds out a sensual take on Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good'. Later on, he'll cover 'Can't Help Falling In Love' with all the majesty drummer Butch Norton's rumbling timpanis can muster; in between, he'll croon his finest music-box symphonies, juggling gallows humour and naked tenderness with ease. You might justifiably fear the worst eclectic rock crimes, but as with so many of pop's unlikely treasures, you really had to be there.
Those initial Beck comparisons now seem so wide of the mark; [a]Eels[/a] may share the boy Hansen's sonic magpie-isms, but E maps that musical playfulness emotionally, eschewing the zeitgeist for the personal. Beck could never pull off the touching, Big Star-esque innocence of 'Jeannie's Diary', or the disquieting 'I Like Birds', which E, lacking such self-consciousness, does with grace and glee.
E's closer to that other '90s blond alt-waif, Kurt Cobain, whose crushing sensitivity and tendency to be totally subsumed by feeling and emotion, resound throughout 'Sound Of Fear' and 'Ant Farm', where E sounds like a little boy lost in situations he can't escape or even understand. Crucially, though, E has the emotional equilibrium to make sense of this terror, creating songs as cherishable as 'PS You Rock My World', songs which simultaneously scrape the heart's highest peaks and darkest depths. Tonight, sumptuously rendered by the six-piece band, it strikes chords still ringing from The Flaming Lips' last UK jaunt.
"Bring me my bongos!" yells E, as the band begin 'Hospital Food'. Beating wildly at the hand-drums like Andy Kaufman's kindred spirit, he's a Dadaist with a heart, cheating the failure his wildly ambitious muse and blind bravery [I]should [/I]deliver him. Always contrary, and always completely enchanting.

Former UC Irvine All-American Ryan Bailey made history Monday, while Corona del Mar High product John Mann was simply happy to make the team.
Former UCI All-Americans and Olympic veterans Jeff Powers and Tim Hutten join Mann and Bailey on the 13-member U.S. Olympic men's water polo team announced Monday by USA Water Polo.
It will be the first Olympics for Mann, who was an alternate on the 2008 Olympic team that won a silver medal in Beijing, China. He is one of just three first-time Olympians on the squad.
Bailey, along with American captain Tony Azevedo, will become the first U.S. men's water polo players to compete in four Olympic Games, when the veteran-led Team USA opens in London against Montenegro on July 29.
Powers has been a member of the U.S. team in the previous two Olympics and Hutten was a member of the 2008 team.
Mann is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound center who scored six goals to help Team USA finish fourth at the FINA World League Super Final earlier this month in Kazakhstan. He was the 2006 NCAA Player of the Year at UC Berkeley, where he was a three-time All-American.
At CdM, he helped the Sea Kings win three CIF Southern Section championships before graduating in 2003. He was first-team All-American and All-CIF.
Bailey, a 6-6, 245-pound center, also represents the Newport Water Polo Foundation. The 36-year-old scored six goals in the recent FINA World League Super Final and scored seven goals in the 2008 Olympics, when the Americans were defeated by Hungary in the final.
He remains one of the Americans' best scoring threats. At UCI, he was Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Year as a senior in 1998 and a four-time All-American. He played at Millikan High in Long Beach.
Powers, a 6-7, 230-pound defender, also represents the Newport Water Polo Foundation. Now 32, he had six goals at the recent FINA World League Super Final and led Team USA with 11 goals on the way to winning the gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games. The Pan American victory also allowed the Americans to qualify for the Olympics.
He scored six goals at the 2008 Olympics and was a leading offensive force for Team USA at the 2004 Games. He was a three-time, first-team All-American at UCI, where he also was named All-MPSF three times before completing his eligibility in 2002. He came to UCI from San Luis Obispo High.
Hutten, a 6-5, 215-pound defender, is another representative of the Newport Water Polo Foundation. Primarily counted upon for defense, he scored three goals in Beijing and added two goals at the recent FINA World League Super Final.
Hutten's nine goals in the 2011 Pan American Games were second-most on the team.
He was a two-time All-American at UCI, where he was NCAA and MPSF Player of the Year as a senior in 2007. Now 27, he came to UCI from Los Alamitos High.
The Olympic schedule for the American squad, coached by former USA player Terry Schroeder, also includes matches against Romania (July 31), Great Britain (Aug. 2), Serbia (Aug. 4), and Hungary (Aug. 6), to close out preliminary play in Group B.
The quarterfinals are set for Aug. 8, followed by the semifinals Aug. 10. The medal round is Aug. 12.

Career Guides >> Browse Articles >> Government Application Process
Tired of Waiting? Learn Which Agencies Hire Faster
Kathryn Troutman / Monster.com
Many government job seekers show frustration with the speed of federal hiring and ask the following: Is there anything I can do to speed things up? Are there agencies or departments that hire faster than others?
Yes, applying for federal jobs by going through the many steps required does take time, but given the scale of how things work, it's not surprising: The government has thousands of jobs open, and human resources specialists receive hundreds of applications and multiple components every day.Federal Job Application Tips
Do you want to learn more about careers with the federal government? Find one here.
- Looking for scholarships to take your skill set to the next level? Find a scholarship here.
You might get a faster response if you apply to a smaller agency, but if you're applying to one with hundreds of thousands of employees and hundreds of job openings – in short, a place with the most potential opportunities for you – then you need to think long-term. Here's how to apply for federal jobs, accepting the fact that it could be a six-to-12-month process before you're hired:
1) Find job announcements that are right for you, and match your resume to the skills the announcements require.
2) Apply for one to three positions per week.
3) Submit your resume to any of the online databases: USAJOBS, Avue Central, CPOL, Department of the Navy, Civilian Human Resources and any agency-specific databases that interest you.
4) Apply to jobs with close deadlines as well as those with far-away deadlines. The latter are database resume-collecting announcements.
5) Keep track of your applications.
You might need to apply for 20 to 30 jobs before you can expect to hear back about being referred or selected for an interview. This might sound like a lot, but once you're in the system and the HR specialists know you, the response time will likely go down. After you have your first referral letter, expect another to come sooner, and after you have your first interview, expect another. Once you get enough momentum, you will be getting emails from HR specialists weekly. You will have interviews, questions and decisions to make. Create a rolling application process, and it will work for you.
If you don't get referred after 20 to 30 days, call or write to any of the HR specialists listed on the announcements. You shouldn't keep applying without being referred. If you get referred but not selected for an interview, you should also call an HR specialist to find out why.

If I'm going into IP litigation, how do big firms' (e.g. OMM, MoFo, Sidley Austin, DLA Piper, Paul Weiss - not super-prestigious Cravath/Wachtell) GPA cutoffs differ between UT and Georgetown?From 1990-2009, Georgetown has ranked on average of 13.05th, while (if you throw out 1998, the year it fell out of the top25) UT has ranked on average of 16.05th. This fact would argue that the GPA cutoff differential is significant. However, if you look at the years 1999-2009, this difference shrinks to 14.00th vs. 15.45th, arguing that the differential, if any, is not so significant.I've gone to the UT ASD and met its incoming class, and I think I'd like living in Austin and going to school with this group, but I don't know how deciding to go there vs. Georgetown would affect my future career prospects. I don't have a particular geographic region that I'd like to live in, although I'd prefer not to live in DC. I've heard that IP attorneys are in enough demand that geographic considerations aren't as crucial for associates in that field, anyways.An acquaintance of mine at MoFo stated that their general UCLA/UT cutoff is a 3.1. Unfortunately, she can't say what their cutoff is for Georgetown, nor what it is for IP litigation in particular.
How is DC the heart of the IP world? From my research, it appears that the largest #s of IP cases are on the Northern California, Southern California, and East Texas dockets. I doubt many tech companies work out of DC/NoVa.
Genetics should qualify you to take the patent bar, so that's good. Even if you only want to do litigation, most firms want to be able to call you a patent attorney (not just an "attorney with an IP focus" or whatever), and that requires a reg number. However, if you're angling to get into pharma/biotech litigation, keep in mind that you'll be competing with a lot of people who have graduate degrees, which clients in this practice area really like to see.
Just because most cases are in certain districts doesn't mean the firms litigating those cases are based there or even have satellite offices there. DC has the USPTO, which means a large contingent of IP practices.
I don't know why I'm bothering but I just want to point out that on your list, Paul weiss is considerably more selective than the others.

DST(redirected from D6S1101)
Also found in: Dictionary, Medical.
The "storm-time" component of variation of the terrestrial magnetic field, that is, the component which correlates with the interval of time since the onset of a magnetic storm; used as an index of intensity of the ring current.
Daylight-Saving Time.
DST(1) (DeSTination) Contrast with SRC, which is an abbreviation of "source."
(2) (Digital Signal Trust Company, Salt Lake City, UT, www.digsigtrust.com) An organization that sets up and manages PKI systems for companies and industry groups. Using third-party software, it serves as a certification authority (CA), manages the repository and provides a secure location for the private keys. Founded in 1996, Utah-based DST was the first licensed CA in the U.S. and the first PKI service organization. Utah was the first state in the U.S. to pass digital signature legislation.
In 2002, DST was acquired by Identrus LLC (www.identrus.com), a global leader in digital trust services and secure e-commerce. See PKI.
(3) (Data Storage Technology) A high-capacity magnetic tape technology from Ampex that is based on the digital composite D2 format for the broadcasting industry. It uses the same 19mm, helical scan transport, but provides higher capacities with Ampex's proprietary Data D-2 (DD2) format. DST cartridges range from 50 to 330GB and are suited for uncompressed digital video (movies, commercials, etc.) and high-resolution images as well as general data backup for huge databases. Ampex's Data Instrumentation Systems (DIS) tape technology is a counterpart line that provides optional modes and interfaces for data acquisition devices. See magnetic tape.

The word 'entertain' can be tricky. Not sure it can be applied to hockey the same way it can to music, but I think that's what the OP is saying. There can be entertainment (some cheap pop group) and there can also be inspiration by an artist (a great jazz musician). Both relate to music, but there is a difference. I don't merely want to be entertained by the Penguins. I want to see greatness. I don't need a team that can score 5 goals each game. I want a team that is tough to beat, even if it has to play the trap at times. I basically want a team with the goal of winning the cup at any cost. Entertainment comes second.
I am not judging Shero on this because it probably just came out like that. He knows the business and he knows he has to make it fun, but I'm also sure he remembers this is about winning and making history.
