Located in Orange County, John Wayne Airport is an international airport serving more than nine million annual passengers. With prices dropping, cheap tickets to John Wayne Airport include flights from Denver ($78 RT) and San Francisco ($137 RT), or you can venture across the country to Philadelphia ($394 RT). Twenty-five airlines that fly into John Wayne, including United and Frontier Airlines, offer nonstop flights to 25 separate cities.
If you don't wish to rent a car, you can catch an Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus or a shuttle bus, both found on the terminal side. To help save extra money, try to arrive on a Monday or Tuesday and take advantage of the free trolley service to downtown Santa Ana.
Before you even leave the airport, check out the Lyon Air Museum and learn about World War II history. Venture a little farther and peruse the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art or the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park.
If you need respite for a night, you might consider staying at a hotel near the airport. The nonsmoking Comfort Inn and Suites John Wayne Airport offers shuttle service to the airport and free in-room Wi-Fi. For a little more money, you can stay at the Atrium Hotel at Orange County Airport and dine at its Waterfalls Restaurant.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, consider utilizing the John Wayne Airport, since it is usually less crowded than Los Angeles International Airport and LA/Ontario International Airport. For an extra fee, you can opt for valet parking, or park your car yourself in one of the self-serve lots. If you're hungry, stop by one of the many fast-food or casual-dining restaurants.

Thrashed 3 packs at the pit and broke my bud's rusty when it ran into me, must have been the modified rustler mip's that did it lol

Haven't run 2 packs through my truck with my brand new taped trenchers and I managed to rip one
ERBE, Summit, Sl4sh MT, P4de, 1/16 GD 4x4
Bent a shock. Stuck it in the vise and straightened it out. Good as new. lol
I split my Gens Ace hardcase open today

I think you guys are breaking your trucks to upgrade them lol. I'm guilty of doing just that...
Thrash It, Bash it, Break it, No Regrets!!!
Stripped the hex on my brand new desperadoes, is there any way to fix it

I also used steel hexes and I'm sure aluminum would work fine as well.
I didn't like the idea of the snap on plastic hexes when things are kinda just hanging on and hex pins are a cheap thing to keep stocked in the pit box.
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
I cleaned the sludge out of my rear dif and greased the gears and then filled it with heavy gear oil. It's much smoother than it ever was now. It used to have a spot where it would bind slightly before.
I had this screw come out twice and it seems a lot of people have that or even break the tab off the ESC. I replaced this with a slightly larger wood screw (coarser thread) and it has never loosened or come out since.
I had to do that with one of my stock wheel/tires too. I want to find a good metal rim for the next time I buy tires.
Here's a fix that works for this. Cut out a small area around each rear mounting pin on your body (about 1" x 1"). Get a thin piece of say .016" sheet metal from your LHS. Cut out a piece of this to go from fender well to fender well and up toward the back window within an inch or so. I puty 90 degree bends on each side to end above the wheel cutout to give extra strength. Test fit this piece and mark where the mounting pin holes should be and drill out a small screw hole in each corner. Apply silicone RTV to this reinforcing plate and stick it on to the bottom of your truck bed. Put your screws in right away while you can still align it. Allow to drive overnight. You can then cartwheel to your heart's content. You may have to straighten the metal a bit from time to time, but it's quite crash resistant.
MMP + Lake Michigan = NOOOOOO! got er wet as heck, opened it up, cleaned, wiped, dried , tossed ina bag o rice for a day, still no luck. I think i may have to send it in
Broke something today that i nev er thought id break the front drive shaft spline broke clean off todayt after jumping an 8ft wall and hitting nose first with my new 2s lipos
I found out the lamppost on the square around the corner here is definately on the wrong spot. Broke a front and rear A-arm.
Only one spare, so time to order RPM. I doubt if that would have helped with the first crash, but the second one wasnt that bad.
Nobody is born with experience
I am amazed by the stupidity proof that RPM offers. I hit stuff all the time, and with the front RPM bumper, and RPM a-arms, and shock towers, it just takes it like a champ.
Out did myself today. After rebuilding the rear diff, and cleaning it all up, I quickly set my gear mesh and hit the dirt. Well, after about 20 feet, the spur gear was completely shredded. There was some rocks under the motor, and the gears did not mesh at all. Oh well, a cheap part and a lesson learned.
Broke an axle carrier at the skate park.
Sad thing is I left my pit box at home today so I had to sit and watch the rest of the guys play lol.
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
My will to continue to run nitro. New 3.3 in tmaxx and now this happened to my jato. Not even a gallon through it
uh oh.... that didn't sound good
I've broken the back end of two bodies around the rear mounting holes too. The last time that happened, I cut out the tore up part and siliconed on a piece of .016 sheet metal I bought at the LHS to the underside of the bed. I pre-drilled the mount holes and also put some screws in to hold this piece in place. It is still on and in one piece despite many cart wheels, jumps landing on the lid, and rear ending a tree. etc. The metal does bend sometimes, but you can just straighten it out and you're back in business. It's definately heavy duty compared to the thin lexan.
Apparently forgetting to put truck in training mode before handing controller to 3 year old son is bad for the truck. Drove it full speed on 2s into the deck stair.

Just got finished swapping my truck from a Castle powered Sl4sh MT to a stock P4de again and noticed my left rear wheel was wobbling.
Upon closer inspection I found a broken RPM A-arm I only broke one stock arm after hitting a curb. No curb hits here...
ERBE, Summit, Sl4sh MT, P4de, 1/16 GD 4x4
i broke my big block merv's heart today. I zip tied my mmp2400 stampede' suspension down and ran street fighter tires, so much fun! It can cartwheel forever and land upright which the merv never does. Thought the merv was a better street car but I'm ordering a 4s tomorrow and letting the merv get dusty
After three packs today I decided to do some maintenance since it has been about 25 packs since the last tear down.
Found 3 broken HPI pins in my MIP's, 2 in the front and 1 in the rear and a couple crunchy wheel bearings.
Good thing I bought spare pins but it looks like I may need to stock up if I want to keep on pounding it with 3s bat's

Voices: Toops' Scoops
A Legacy of Listening: A final scoop on our late Diane Toops
A year ago, the food industry lost one of its fiercest advocates and fondest pundits — Diane Toops. Although her voice is now silent, her legacy perseveres through her writing and the memories of the many people she touched during her tenure in the industry.
Oct 30, 2013
Toops, like Julia Child (a woman she greatly admired), came to her food industry career quite by happenstance and later in life. Unlike Julia, Di found herself a middle-aged widow with a teenaged son, in urgent need of employment. After a brief foray into the hotel industry, Di landed a job in the circulation department of Putman Publishing in Chicago.Read More

"It's a jobs creator, and thank God we got it," Gov. Jerry Brown said of funding for high speed rail, narrowly approved by the Legislature last week. He and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood were at the Port of Oakland on Monday to take a victory lap.
The state Senate barely passed $8 billion in state and federal spending on the bullet train and related transportation projects on Friday, sending the bill to Brown for his signature. The federal funding was contingent on the state allocating money.
Republicans have blasted high-speed rail as a waste of money. Some Democrats who have supported the concept have criticized the plan because it starts construction in the less-populated Central Valley and there are no guarantees of future federal funding.
Brown said he wasn't worried about the rest of the money for the estimated $68 billion plan.
"When Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, started the intercontinental railroad, he didn't know where the money was coming from," Brown said.

Hi, it can be confusing.DB1 wrote:I'm a newbie Linux user - what is the "Software Sources" package used above. I don't have it installed, unless it's under an obscure name (a bugbear of mine - the packages you download don't have a name which matches to what you have to type to find it). Can someone tell me what name I should look for it under (on my system) or what package I should download?
In your menu system under (just a minute while I look ) Administration there is a sheild shaped icon called "Update Manager". There may well be an identical sheild in your panel, possibly with a green tick to show all is up to date. If you run that, Update Manager appears and in the top menu under "Edit" is "Software Sources". This is where your system looks to get any updates from. The issue here is that the major (default setting) source can sometimes be overloaded. You should set the source by opening the "Download from" drop down box and choosing a nearby mirror instead of the default. Once you've done that, hit the "refresh" button on the main window.

How to Configure Your Wireless Access Point
After installing a wireless access point (WAP) for your home network, you can configure your device. To quickly configure your wireless access point with basic settings, you can use the CD that was included. Insert the CD, and follow the instructions when it starts. If your device did not come with a CD then follow the instructions from the manufacturer.
Alternatively, you can open an Internet Explorer browser window. Many wireless access points in their factory default settings will automatically launch a setup wizard when you launch a Web browser. If not, you will need to enter the default address, which you can find in the instructions.
These are the steps to configure a NETGEAR WGR614v7 wireless router, but your steps may be a little different depending on the wireless device you're using. For the wireless router in this example, the default login ID is admin and the default password is password. Your device's login credentials might be different; read the setup instructions included with your wireless router.
Change the default password on your wireless access point as soon as possible; otherwise, a not-so-neighborly neighbor could log into your wireless access point and change your settings — thereby locking you out of your own network! If you are not automatically prompted to change it the first time you log in, look for a menu option to Set Password, Change Password, or Manage Accounts.
1Under Setup on the left side of the window, click Basic Settings.
The Basic Settings window appears. Refer to the Internet connection instructions provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) before you continue with the next step.
2If your ISP does not require you to log in every time you connect to the Internet, select 'No' under 'Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login.'
Otherwise, select Yes, choose your ISP from the drop-down menu, enter the login and password provided by your ISP (your login is most likely your e-mail address), and the service name (if required). If a service name is not required, leave it blank. Finally, you can enter an idle timeout (the period of inactivity, in minutes, after which your ISP automatically logs you off the Internet).
3Under Internet IP Address, select Get Dynamically from ISP.
This is the most common configuration (and the easiest to set up). Every time you connect to the Internet, your ISP will automatically assign you an IP address and push the required connection information to your wireless router. Alternatively, if your ISP has assigned you a permanent static IP address, select Use Static IP Address and enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address provided by your ISP.
4Under Account Name and Domain Name, enter your host or system name — and a domain name, if required.
Some ISPs require you to enter an account name, which may be the same as your Internet connection login ID (if login is required), or some other specific name assigned by your ISP. Otherwise, you can leave this information blank.
5Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select Get Automatically from ISP.
This is the most common configuration (and the easiest to set up). Otherwise, select Use These DNS Servers and enter the primary DNS and secondary DNS information provided by your ISP.
6Under Router MAC Address, select Use Default Address.
This is the most common configuration. If your ISP requires MAC authentication (extremely rare), select either Use Computer MAC Address or Use This MAC Address and enter the physical address of your PC's wireless LAN adapter.
7Click Apply, and then click Test.
This will save and verify your settings.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds appeared in a Zimbabwe courtroom Wednesday where he pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing pornography and must remain in custody for another day at least.
Reynolds, who lost his seat representing Illinois almost 20 years ago after being convicted of statutory rape, is scheduled to appear in Magistrate's Court in Harare again on Wednesday on a separate charge of violating immigration laws. He won't be able to apply for bail until Thursday.
Wearing a dark suit and open-necked white shirt with no tie, he smiled as he walked past journalists' cameras into the courthouse. He told reporters he had received no assistance from the U.S. Embassy.
Reynolds, who is 62, allegedly overstayed his visa and brought several Zimbabwean models and other women to his hotel room where he took photographs and videos, according to Zimbabwe's state-controlled newspaper, the Herald.
In Zimbabwe, Reynolds helped draw investment to hotel and office projects and is also known for his opposition to sanctions against President Robert Mugabe.
Reynolds, a Harvard graduate and former Rhodes scholar, was once viewed as a rising star in the Democratic Party. He resigned from his congressional seat in 1995 after he was convicted by a jury of having sex with a former campaign worker while she was underage, and then trying to thwart the investigation. While in prison he was also convicted of bank and campaign fraud for concealing debts to obtain bank loans and diverting money intended for voter registration drives into his election campaign.
He was in jail until his sentence was commuted by then-President Bill Clinton in January 2001.
He made unsuccessful run again for Congress in 2004 and in 2013.

2008 Edition of Look what my Secret Santa sent me...
- Gary C(ghcstr)United States
Use this as a central area to record what our Secret Santas sent us. When you post on this list, you may want to make a note on your profile so your Secret Santa knows to look on the list for your receipt and reaction. That way your Secret Santa can look to see if you received your gift and you can post any comments you may have about the gift here and you can reply without the identity of your Secret Santa ever having to be released!
Please only make an entry when you actually receive the present!
If your Santa sends you more than one item, just list them all in one listing unless you think it makes more sense to list them separately. Remember to include any comments you want your Secret Santa to know!
I don't know about anyone else, but I generally obsess about whether a package has arrived at it's intended destination. I drive my wife crazy with checking tracking numbers constantly! So it will be nice to see when those gifts are actually received by the giftee (or are they just sitting unclaimed on the neighbor's porch?)

Washington Youth Soccer, the Seattle Sounders Women and Sounders FC U-23 teams announced a developmental partnership Tuesday to accentuate the state youth soccer association's Long-Term Player Development Plan. This will essentially develop the brands of all three organizations with more than 115,000 players aged 5-19 who play in Washington Youth Soccer-affiliated programs.
By entering into their new partnership with the Sounders Women and Sounders U-23 squads, Washington Youth Soccer can extend that development model to age 23 and beyond, helping players throughout Washington reach their highest potential in a healthy, sustainable way.
Players in the Sounders FC/Washington Youth Soccer Elite Player Development program will enjoy increased access to training and matches for the Sounders Women and Sounders U-23 teams, and receive coaching from elite Sounders Women staff.
The three organizations will also team up on marketing efforts.
"This is a perfect extension of the developmental goals for our players and families in Washington," stated Washington Youth Soccer President Doug Andreassen. "We have built the perfect partnership with the Seattle Sounders FC in their first four seasons and we see this opportunity to do the same with U-23 Sounders and Sounders Women."
The Sounders Women play in the USL W-League, the first and longest-standing women's soccer league in North America. Featuring current and former international and professional stars, the W-League also provides elite amateurs the opportunity to compete while maintaining their eligibility as college student-athletes. The league is recognized throughout the world for providing superior competition for female players, while offering affordable family entertainment for fans throughout North America.
The Sounders U-23 team, likewise, offers a developmental pathway for elite college players in the Premier Development League (PDL), the top developmental men's league in the U.S. In addition to league games, PDL teams compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, as well as various exhibitions.
"We're delighted about this partnership with Washington Youth Soccer," says Sounders Women and Sounders U-23 Co-Owner and CEO Lane Smith. "The soccer community is a tight-knit family and we feel like this partnership adds another set of brothers and sisters to help push local soccer forward."
All three organizations have worked closely for years as part of the fabric of Washington's rich soccer community — indeed, Washington Youth Soccer alum DeAndre Yedlin, who spent the last summer playing with the Seattle Sounders U-23 squad while on break from Akron University, recently became the first "Homegrown Player" named to the roster of the Seattle Sounders FC MLS franchise; while Hope Solo, a former Washington Youth Soccer star, returned to Seattle to play for the Sounders Women during the 2012 season.
"The Sounders Women and U-23s take pride in representing the local soccer community on an elite level," says Sounders Women and Sounders U-23 Co-owner Cliff McElroy. "This partnership is a perfect fit as it exemplifies that dedication and our unified values with Washington Youth Soccer."
"Washington can be proud of the model for all soccer in America — with a clear development pathway from the youth levels to the most vibrant and competitive professional teams in the country," said Washington Youth Soccer CEO Terry Fisher. "Washington Youth Soccer is all in — 100 percent supporting soccer at all levels — building dreams for the future for our kids and their families. This is the greatest place in America for soccer at all levels. Let's make them all successful!"
The Sounders Women will begin play in April, while the Sounders U-23 men will begin their season in May. For schedules, ticket information and more, visit http://www.sounderswomen.com and http://www.soundersu23.com.

Subscribe To Spring Breakers 2 Highlights Exciting Wild Bunch Slate At Cannes Updates
I've already subscribed
If you're a serious film buff, you're a fan of Wild Bunch, the European financiers behind films like Enter The Void, Blue Is The Warmest Color, Holy Motors, Only God Forgives and a number of the most exciting, confrontational foreign films to reach American shores. They serve as backer for these and other arthouse sensations, while distributing some of the more exciting American pictures overseas. And at Cannes, Wild Bunch has prepared an incredibly exciting slate of diverse, unusual, and surprisingly commercial pitches. For example, are you ready for another Spring Breakers?
Leading the Wild Bunch Cannes slate is Spring Breakers: The Second Coming according to Screen Daily. The project is seeking funding, and will follow the Spring Breakers as they battle "an extreme militant Christian sect that attempts to convert them." "It's not a direct sequel, although there are allusions to some of the characters in the original," says Wild Bunch co-chief Vincent Maraval. They're not messing around here, getting a couple of heavyweights behind this project: Trainspotting writer Irvine Welsh is penning the script, with in-your-face music video auteur Jonas Akerlund behind the camera. If you've seen Akerlund's work, you'd know it's no surprise to see him helming the sequel to a Harmony Korine film. Here's a trailer for his debut, the nasty, Wild Bunch-backed Spun.
Wild Bunch is also bringing back Paul Verhoeven. The maniac genius behind Robocop, Basic Instinct and Starship Troopers is adapting the novel Oh!, written by Philippe Djian and centered on the conflict between a businesswoman and her rapist stalker. Verhoeven's last completed big-screen movie was the superb Black Book all the way back in 2006, though in 2012 he completed an experimental short called Tricked, which was meant to utilize submitted screenplays from amateurs until Verhoeven hilariously dispensed with the idea and made it himself. Clearly he's been frustrated with an inability to make a new film, but Wild Bunch has finally answered the call to get him behind a camera once again.
Other major projects on the Wild Bunch slate include a remake of Maniac Cop, which is being produced by Nicolas Winding Refn and written, oddly enough, by comic book stalwart Ed Brubaker. A director for the redo will be announced at Cannes. Wild Bunch is also bringing us the new films from Gaspar Noe (Enter The Void) and Abdellatif Kechiche (Blue Is The Warmest Color). The former will be the English-language Love, about a romantic three-way relationship. Noe's claim is that it will give guys "a hard-on and make girls cry." Kechiche's The Real Wound, meanwhile, is also a bit ribald, centered on a French-Tunisian's boy and his attempts to lose his virginity while on holiday.
Wild Bunch has also acquired the Mel Gibson actioner Blood Father, while they handle the funding for Welcome To New York, Abel Ferrara's controversial film about Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It's a typically-fiery slate from the studio, sure to generate intense opinions: Maniac Cop alone will likely be flagged for indecent sex and violence. But a return to Spring Breakers? Without Franco? Seems a bit too risky. Re-consider this shit, Wild Bunch.

Is it any surprise that this week's top Apple news revolved around Snow Leopard? It turns out that the updated OS has built-in malware protection, Adobe CS3 will work on it (but it won't be supported), and the $29 upgrade disk will work for everyone—even though the EULA forbids using it unless you have Leopard. There are also new Mac ads and some legal drama, so read on to catch the highlights. Be sure to look for our Snow Leopard review on Monday.
Critics call shenanigans after Apple, AT&T letters to FCC: Everyone is puzzling over Apple and AT&T's letters to the FCC about the apparent rejection of a Google Voice iPhone app. Ars peers through the holes in their version of the mess.
Adobe Creative Suite and Snow Leopard: what you should know: Adobe has drawn the line in the sand between Intel and PPC for upcoming versions of its Creative Suite, and now it's doing so again between CS3 and CS4 when it comes to Snow Leopard support. It might not please everyone, but that's the price some of us pay for staying on the cutting edge.
Poll Technica: 5M copies of Snow Leopard? Will you upgrade? Snow Leopard has finally arrived, and Analyst Gene Munster thinks Apple will sell 5 million copies of Mac OS X 10.6 before fiscal 4Q ends at the end of September, but we think he's being too conservative. Let us know what you think in our latest poll.
New Get a Mac ads beat dead PC virus horse, waste good jokes: Apple brought in voice and character actor Patrick Warburton for one of its latest Get a Mac ads, but the constant berating of PCs for virus and "headaches" is getting a little trite.
MacBook on life support, but Apple not pulling the plug yet: The lonely white polycarbonate MacBook that still remains in Apple's otherwise all-aluminum notebook lineup hasn't changed significantly over the years. The latest rumor suggests that Apple is working to change that.
Recent Apple patent apps hint at future iPhone improvements: Some newly published patent applications from Apple show easy file and data transfers while a call is in progress, as well as an auto-speakerphone feature, easily adaptable connectors, and an improved shock sensor.
Jobs on top of every detail of iTablet, according to rumors: Another day, another Apple tablet rumor. Numerous sources "familiar with the matter" claim to have information on Steve Jobs' involvement in the project, while Jobs says many of those details are "incorrect."
Snow Leopard includes rudimentary malware protection: Apple likes to tout Mac OS X's lack of malware, but it isn't completely immune. It's nice to know the company is taking an active role in preventing it from becoming a problem for users.
$29 Snow Leopard retail disc will install over Tiger: It looks like Apple has "conceded" that it's possible to install Mac OS X 10.6 straight on to a Mac with 10.4 installed, despite Apple's official stance that a Mac Box Set is required to do so. That doesn't automatically mean that you should, though.
5th Ave Apple Store still rockin' through the recession: Apple's 5th Avenue retail store continues to pack in crowds and move millions in merchandise every year. Sales are so good even in this slow economy that Apple continues to expand its retail operations.
Have a great weekend, everyone! (And don't forget to back up before you install Snow Leopard. You can never be too careful.)

Dinosaur Jr.
I Bet On Sky - PIAS
FILTER Grade: 83%
By Kurt Orzeck on September 18, 2012
Just when you thought guitar rock had gone the way of checkered flannel, Dinosaur Jr. come lumbering back with yet another slab of post-reunion material. This is their 10th studio record, the third since they reconciled in 2005. Lou Barlow is onboard, of course; trying to sell grumpy, old alterna-"teens" on a configuration of the band without him would be like trying to sell those same exact people on a Guided by Voices reunion without Tobin Sprout. (That said, raise your hand if you predicted in the '90s that, come 2012, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon would be broken up but J Mascis and Lou Barlow would be together. The brains reel.) Maybe in an effort to trick listeners into thinking that I Bet On Sky doesn't sound like every other Dinosaur Jr. record—which it does—they placed their most unusual song at the front of the line. Yes, that is the keyboard you're hearing on the first track, which bears the classic Mascis title "Don't Pretend You Didn't Know." But five minutes later, Mascis' incomparable noodling will have you saying, "So what else is new?" Also comforting to Dino diehards will be the shoddy production value, which has the music sounding as if it were being projected through a dense layer of fog. It might be 2012 for most of us, but don't tell Mascis. Naturally, Barlow coos through his requisite two ditties, "Rude" and "Recognition." But while those songs border on throwaway territory, Mascis' strongest guitar showmanship actually sneaks up at the end of the latter track. Beyond that, it's Mascis plodding on, warbling apathetically and then suddenly breaking into his shimmering birdsong. What motivates the consummate slacker band to continue is beyond all of us. But is anyone complaining?

Prosecutors: Chris Soules tried to hide his level of intoxication
The State of Iowa has responded to a request from the attorney for former "The Bachelor" star Chris Soules asking for a dismissal of charges in the fatal crash of an Iowa farmer.
Soules is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly accident after an April 24 crash near his farm in northern Iowa that killed 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher.
Attorney Alfredo Parrish filed a motion Monday to dismiss the charges. Parrish argued that 911 call recordings prove that Soules met the requirements of Iowa law in the crash, and should not be charged with leaving the scene.
Audio released last week by the Buchanan County Sheriff's office shows Soules telling a dispatcher that he "rear-ended a guy on a tractor" at 8:20 p.m. Monday near the northern Iowa town of Aurora.
In a motion filed Tuesday, state prosecutors argued against a dismissal of charges, saying the court has already determined "that there is probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed and the defendant committed it" at the Defendant's Initial Appearance on April 25, 2017.
The prosecution argues that in order to be in compliance with the law, Soules was to "immediately return to the scene of the accident or inform the law enforcement authorities where he could be located." Prosecutors say Soules did neither.
"Furthermore, the only permissible reasons for which Defendant could leave the scene of the accident in the first place was to seek necessary aid or report the accident to law enforcement." In this case, prosecutors say, Soules did neither.
Prosecutors also said in Soules' motion to dismiss, he made no attempt to obfuscate his identity. However, prosecutors say he "did attempt to obfuscate the immediate facts and circumstances surrounding the accident, including a determination of his level of intoxication and an explanation of the empty and partially consumed open alcoholic beverages located in and around his vehicle that he was seen purchasing at a convenience store shortly before the accident."
Soules reported that the man was unconscious in a ditch. The call shows that other people were there. Authorities say Soules left before emergency responders arrived.
Soules was arrested later at his Arlington farm several miles away. He is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly crash. He was released from jail Tuesday after posting bond.
A statement issued last week through a spokesman says that his attorneys are "confident that once all the evidence is made public, it will show Soules acted reasonably and did everything in his power to aid Mr. Mosher."

Race Week Do's and Don'ts
Overcome anxiety, and go into your race fresh, with these reminders.
by Matt Lieto
The week leading up to a major race, what we call "race week" in the sport, can bring its own breed of stress and anxiety. These emotions can pile up and wreak havoc on an athlete's race experience and even results. So what's a high-strung athlete to do? The best chance for success on race week is to do your best to make it as much like any other week in training.
IRONMAN champ Linsey Corbin sums up race week success with this: "Get a lot of sleep early in the week, dial in your race gear early, thank a volunteer, stay hydrated, don't stress about the weather, do something nice, keep the blood flowing, and have fun." Below you'll find a few more handy points to help keep the cortisol levels down.
IRONMAN Race Week Don'ts
Leave your bike tune-up to the week before. Cables can stretch unevenly, worn chains and cassettes can cause problems, and your normally amazing mechanic can forget to tighten all bolts. Most of these issues can only seen with decent miles put in, and are not things you want to find out on race day or race week.
Go out and buy a bunch of new gear. Don't get me wrong, expos are awesome. Love me some new gadgets as much as the next guy, but don't buy new race shoes the day before an IRONMAN race and expect it to go well. Stick with what you trained with and use the new gadgets the next go around. Also set a limit on how long you are allowed to walk around the expo. Yes, 4 hrs of expo can be fun, but not good for the legs.
Try any new fangled diets. Sure enough you'll hear someone on the plane talking about a pre-race meal of beets and fish oil, but please, don't try it. Stick with what works in training and try new theories out in training before you use in a race.
Over rest. I love a taper as much as the next guy, but taper doesn't mean take off 10 days of training and sleep all day long. A common mistake race week can be over resting and letting the system become stale. Keep moving with shorter workouts and slightly increased intensity while not pushing too deep.
Go into race mode too early. As I said above, keep some intensity on, but do not race your race on your workouts the week of the race. Energy can be high and when the taper is settling in it always feels good to "open up the legs". Just don't let the ride back from the coffee shop on the Friday before the big day be your year's best performance.
IRONMAN Race Week Do's
Get a massage three to six days out. If you never ever get massages, ignore this and re-read the "don't do anything new" point above. If you do get frequent massages, get one once you are settled in at the venue, and at least three days out from the race. It's a great way to get the travel out of your legs, loosen the body, and relax the mind in the final days.
Know your course. All three courses. If the swim course is open for pre-swims, go test out the wetsuit to make sure it's good to go. Find your sighting landmarks, the swim exit, and transition flow. Drive tricky sections of the bike course. (I don't recommend driving a full loop course however, as 112 miles can take up valuable time you may not have.) And don't let it stress you—hills always seem bigger in a cheap rental car! Do your easy pre-race spin around the run course a few days before the race. It's always good to know where the tough sections are and where the aid stations are located. This is also the perfect time to visualize success.
Be prepared. Pack your gear up ahead of time. Athletes more organized than I will have a gear bag with most of their essentials already packed for the next race. This is a great way to keep the week before a little less stressful searching for equipment. If you won't wear your aero helmet when riding around town the week before the race, pack a training helmet. It is never OK to ride without one.
Pack all the physical therapy equipment you have at home. Your foam roller, massage balls, recovery boots, etc. Travel can be stressful on the body and having these tools with you could allow you to get to the start line in fighting shape. Pack some bad movies and good books. This is a great way to keep the feet up when appropriate, but also a good way to shut the brain off and keep from stressing about the big day.
Be nice to your support crew. I know you are stressed, but try not to take it out on the ones who have helped you out along the way. Try not to make the week entirely about you—go ahead, pick up the check.

Aaron Hernandez facing first-degree murder charge in Lloyd slaying
Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with the first-degree murder Wednesday in the death of Odin Lloyd, a drama unfolding in a Massachusetts courtroom.
Hernandez entered a plea of not guilty, and judge Daniel J. O'Shea announced Hernandez would be held without bail.
The Patriots cut the former 2011 Pro Bowler, who agreed to a five-year, $40 million contract last summer, less than two hours after his arrest. Hernandez could get life without parole if convicted.
Hernandez was taken from his home in handcuffs Wednesday, more than a week after Lloyd, 27, was found dead in an industrial area a mile from the player's house.
The charge, one of six against Hernandez, was read in an Attleboro, Mass., courtroom.
Hernandez was charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and two charges each of possession of a large capacity firearm and possession of a firearm without an ID card.
Late Wednesday, the Hartford Correctional Center said that Carlos Ortiz, 27, was being held on a $1.5 million bond in connection to the Hernandez case, according to the Boston Globe. The correctional center didn't say what charges Ortiz was being held on, according to the newspaper.

Prosecutor Bill McCauley said Lloyd was shot multiple times in groin, arm, side, chest and back. Lloyd played semi-pro football with the Boston Bandits and was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
"It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not a strong case," Hernandez' attorney, Michael Fee, said at the court hearing.
Lloyd's family members cried and hugged in the courtroom as McCauley outlined the killing. Two relatives were so overcome with emotion that they had to leave the courtroom.
McCauley said the crime stemmed from a night out at a Boston club called Rumor on June 14. He said Hernandez was upset about certain things, including that Lloyd had talked to some people Hernandez "had troubles with."
Two days later, McCauley said, on the night of June 16, Hernandez texted two friends from out of state and asked them to hurry back to Massachusetts.
Surveillance footage from outside Hernandez's home showed him leaving with a gun, and he told someone in the house that he was upset and couldn't trust anyone anymore, the prosecutor said.
The three men picked up Lloyd at his home around 2:30 a.m., according to authorities. As they drove around, they discussed what happened at the nightclub, and Lloyd started getting nervous, McCauley said.
Lloyd texted his sister, "Did you see who I am with?" When she asked who, he answered, at 3:22 a.m., "NFL," then, a minute later, "Just so you know."
Within a few minutes after that, people working the overnight shift at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, McCauley said.
Investigators did not specify who fired the shots and did not identify the two other people who were with Hernandez.
In arguing unsuccessfully for bail, Hernandez's attorney said the athlete is unlikely to flee, is a homeowner, and lives with his fiancee and an 8-month-old baby. He also said Hernandez had never been accused of a violent crime.
As he was led from his home in the morning, Hernandez was wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, with his arms inside the shirt and behind his back. He spit into some bushes on his way to a police cruiser.
Later, as he was taken from the North Attleboro police station to court, two dozen supporters cheered, some yelling, "We love you Aaron!"
"Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation," the Patriots said in a statement announcing he had been cut.
The team added: "We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do."
The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who is originally from Bristol, Conn., in 2010 out of the University of Florida, where he was an All-American.
During the draft, one team said it wouldn't take him under any circumstances, and he was passed over by one club after another before New England took him in the fourth round.
Afterward, Hernandez said he had failed a drug test in college — reportedly for marijuana — and was up front with teams about it.
In other off-the-field troubles, a Florida man filed a lawsuit last week claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club in February.
And The Boston Globe reported that Hernandez lost his temper and threatened a teammate during an argument in the team's weight room shortly after he was drafted.
Hernandez became a father on Nov. 6, and said he intended to change his ways: "Now, another one is looking up to me. I can't just be young and reckless Aaron no more. I'm going to try to do the right things."
Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, declined to comment at her Boston home Wednesday.
"Nothing to say, please. Thank you," she said, before shutting the door.
After Hernandez's arrest, residents in his subdivision expressed relief, the Boston Globe reported. One who lives across the street from Hernandez and asked to only be identified by her first name called his arrest "anticlimactic."
"We expected something to happen," Jane said. "We just didn't know when."

State police have searched in and around Hernandez's home in North Attleboro several times. At least three search warrants have been issued in connection with the investigation.
North Attleboro is southwest of Boston and near the Patriots headquarters and home field in Foxborough, Mass. It is near the Rhode Island line.
Reporters camped out for days at Hernandez's sprawling home. They reported Tuesday that Hernandez got a visit from Boston defense attorney James Sultan.
The Patriots issued the following statement about releasing Hernandez:
"A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss. Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation. We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do."
The NFL released the following statement: "The involvement of an NFL player in a case of this nature is deeply troubling. The Patriots have released Aaron Hernandez, who will have his day in court. At the same time, we should not forget the young man who was the victim in this case and take this opportunity to extend our deepest sympathy to Odin Lloyd's family and friends."

Fatbikes are big with winter riders
With nubby tires that are 4-inches wide, riders float over snow and other difficult surfaces.
BOWLUS, Minn. -- Frank popped a wheelie. Curt hefted his bike out of the snowbank where he'd parked it at a 45-degree angle. Theresa blasted through another drift.
Minutes earlier, only their wind-blocking jackets and moisture-wicking pants indicated they were more than three friends on the retirement side of careers, gathering for late-morning coffee around a table set with cloth napkins at Jordie's Trail Side Cafe.
Once they cinched helmet straps, lowered sunglasses and hit the Soo Line Trail across the street, they turned into 5-year-olds on a playground.
Blame it on the fatbikes.
Oversized, nubby tires about 4-inches wide let riders float over snow and other shifty surfaces. They also traverse snowmobile trails, snowshoe-packed paths, even swamps.
"We can go anywhere we want as long as we're not trespassing," said Frank Huben, 68, of Sauk Rapids, a retired cable TV operations manager who has logged 776 miles since November.
Curt and Theresa Gregory of Royalton tried his bike and had to get their own.
The trio represents a growing number of middle-age-or-beyond bicyclists who discovered fatbikes when they were seeking a more comfortable commute, a way to stay active in the winter, a means to explore off the beaten path.
"You can look at something in the summertime and it's one way. In the winter, it's quieter. You're out in the woods and you're going to see things," said Theresa Gregory, 56, a former engineer who has put about 200 miles on her bike. "You're going to see snowy owls, fox, deer, wolves, bald eagles."
Fatbikes have been around for almost 10 years. John Gaddo of Quality Bicycle Products in Bloomington estimated 20,000 fatbikes are in circulation. They took a bit longer to catch on in St. Cloud.
At Revolution Cycle and Ski in St. Cloud, co-owner Ben Doom said fatbikes moved from a special-order to a stocked item about three years ago. At Erik's Bike and Board Shop, service manager Josh Underland said fatbikes caught on about two years ago.
In Stearns County, they're still new enough to turn heads. Huben was riding in St. Cloud on a recent Sunday when the temperature was minus 12 and the winds were 35 mph.
"Two people stopped and slowed down and they rolled down their window and asked if I was crazy," Huben said.
Predominant brands include Minnesota-made Surly and Salsa Cycles. Prices run about $1,500-$2,000. The cost, and the average fatbikers' age, likely will drop as more manufacturers start making less expensive, stripped-down models.
Doom saved up and bought one in 2006 as a way to extend the mountain biking season.
"I love biking and the idea of being able to jump on a bike and ride on snowmobile trails," Doom said. "They are so comfortable and they are so fun. It's hard not to ride it and just smile."
For recreational users, fatbikes are more about the journey.
"These bikes aren't about speed. They're about quality of ride," said Huben, who rides about 4-6 mph on trails, 12-15 mph on roads.
They weigh about 35 pounds. Most riders take an air pump because the tires' air pressure requires tinkering. The softer the tire, the more it acts like a snowshoe, flattening out and offering more float and grip.
"The best way to describe it is like a cat with its claws out," said Curt Gregory, 56, an electronics mechanic at the St. Cloud VA Health Care System who had put on about 100 miles by mid-January.
To a first-time rider, it felt a bit like trying to steady a motorcycle.
"It's surprisingly nimble for how big it looks. It handles pretty much like a regular bike," Underland said. "You have some rolling momentum there."
For Huben and the Gregorys, who belong to the Central Minnesota Bicycle Club, fatbikes keep them rolling year-round.
"You get to get out and enjoy the outdoors, for one. You're not on a snowmobile or four-wheeler that's making all that noise," Curt Gregory said. "It keeps me in shape for the summer bike season."

Prostate Cancer: Essential Screening and Testing for Men
Prostate cancer is often curable, if the disease is diagnosed and treated early (before the cancer spreads). The following diagnostic tests should be done with your annual physical exam starting at age 50, or earlier if you have a history of prostate cancer in your family.
Digital rectal examination (or DRE): The doctor inserts his lubricated finger into your rectum to feel for lumps on the prostate, which is normally smooth. Nobody likes this test, but it can be a life saver.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test: This blood test shows if you have elevated levels of PSA, which may indicate cancer is present.
If your digital rectal exam, PSA, or other indicators (such as urinary symptoms) point to the possibility of prostate cancer, you'll see a urologist, who will order some or all of the following tests. Use this list to keep straight the name and purpose of each test:
A biopsy: The doctor will remove tissue samples from your prostate to be checked for cancer. You can't know if you have cancer until a biopsy is done.
An ultrasound: This test uses sound waves to check for the presence of tumors. The doctor may use an external ultrasound in addition to the internal ultrasound (transrectal probe) used as part of the biopsy.
A bone scan: Some doctors also perform a bone scan in addition to a biopsy, to check whether cancer may have spread to the bones.

Striking House Make-Over in South Africa: Mosi Residence
When asked to completely turn around the appearance of a 1950's home, Nico van der Meulen Architects came up with a highly contemporary solution. Following the clients' brief, to create a home with an urban feel, the architecture company redesigned Mosi Residence, turning it into a continuous four-bedroom space with plenty of entertaining areas. According to the official project description, "the single-story building allows for large double volume spaces and flat roofs have been used in the alteration to keep vertical expansion in mind for the client's future. As a result of an impeccable renovation, the house is divided into public and private spaces. To enter the private areas of the home, one must cross a bridge above a new internal water feature which breaks the public and private spaces, separating the entrance hall and study from the private home. In keeping with the owner's brief to have a home with an urban and open feel, the interior and exterior entertaining areas have been blurred by sliding stacking doors that open up the whole facade". Be sure to have a look at the "before" photos at the end of the post, for a better understanding of the project and tell us what you think of the differences.

open-source drivers
is there any word on the openness of drivers? a big part of the appeal of the neo is that the majority of the drivers (where legal) are open-source. any widespread adoption of these modules will probably stall straight away if there are no open drivers/useful documentation available myfanwy 00:59, 7 November 2007 (CET)
They provide the Angstrom Linux which is based on Open Embedded. So I would assume that drivers are the standard drivers of the Linux kernel. Well, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and GSM may only be available as (USB) serial data interfaces to some black-box modules. hns 17:37, 7 November 2007 (GMT)
looks like the wi-fi driver will be binary only: [1] that page has more info on drivers, etc. for the cm-x270 (similar to the em-x270) and other compulab boards myfanwy 23:25, 7 November 2007 (CET)
Last I checked, the wifi was non-functional under Linux. Unfortunately, that suggests that it doesn't have open drivers, but perhaps it was only a temporary situation. wisp 19:20, 7 November 2007 (CET) -- apparently I was wrong. Support is now planned for December http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/html/x270-em-os-support.htm wisp 19:35, 7 November 2007 (CET)
At least GPS and GSM are indeed serial data interfaces but not black-box modules. I have added the link to the data sheets (which include the AT command set) on the main page. hns 17:37, 7 November 2007 (GMT)
in lieu of developing on actual hardware, an emulator would be mighty useful. does one exist for the compulab hardware? is it much of a process to put one together? myfanwy 01:22, 7 November 2007 (CET)
The device is a "pure" module with everything except a case. To get one, we will need
- someone who can make a mechanical construction
- someone who can nicely design it (and decide about colors, materials, haptics)
- someone who can produce low quantities at a reasonable price (< $50 per units)
Ideas? Proposals? Links? Friends? Volunteers? hns 17:37, 7 November 2007 (GMT)
What would really be the best is if we could find a company who built a touchscreen phone based on this (with case and all) - purchase and reflash :) wisp 19:41, 7 November 2007 (CET)
Sparkfun.com are set up for making cases.
There's also ABS Protytpes
Red Eye RPM myfanwy 03:24, 8 November 2007 (CET)
small quantity order
There are a number of resellers, including one in the US who will deal in small quantities, as found on Contact us. Is anyone interested in contacting/negotiating with them? Dr. Schaller? myfanwy 02:41, 8 November 2007 (CET)
I have been in contact with the one responsible for Germany/Austria. They just act as a sales agent and handle the import - but it does not change the sales policy. I.e. you still have to be a company and order an evaluation kit and have the price scales. So the approach is to have Handheld-Linux Shop to work as an intermediate to collect individual orders (worldwide), keep away warranty issues etc. from CompuLab and issue a single order towards CompuLab. So if we split up this into many resellers with small quantities, the price will not go down. hns
that's a bit shitty - they're not playing easy are they. one would think they don't want to sell any anything. well, i dug a bit and it appears we at least don't have to buy an eval kit for 2000 if we claim non-commercial as seen here myfanwy 08:09, 8 November 2007 (CET)
discussion mailing list
Is there a mailing list where we can better handle discussions for this project? Adding text here is fine but it is quite difficult to track changes and updates. hns
i guess community, it's been talked about there already, might as well get into the meat of it myfanwy 11:06, 8 November 2007 (CET)
