These Terrifying Handcuffs Can Shock And Drug Prisoners
A recently filed patent details the (scary dystopian) handcuffs of the future.
An Arizona-based company recently filed a patent for high-tech futuristic handcuffs that are, in a word, terrifying. In addition to restraining prisoners, the cuffs can also deliver electric shocks and sedatives.
They're still in the patent phase right now, of course, but when they do exist on a full commercial scale, they could work manually at a guard's behest or they could be programmed to automatically activate when someone in cuffs starts to act up or steps outside of certain boundaries. Safety mechanisms could--hopefully will--be set to prevent a guard from doping or shocking prisoners to the point where they suffer from major side effects. Death, for example.
As for the drugs: They could include "an irritant, a medication, a sedative, a transdermal medication or transdermal enhancers such as dimethyl sulfoxide, a chemical restraint, a paralytic, a medication prescribed to the detainee, and combinations thereof."
If the cuffs move past the patent office and into commercial production, it'll be interesting to see what sort of rules and regulations come attached. From patent photos, it looks like the developers might already have a prototype, which means we might be seeing them sooner rather than later. Note to self: Avoid jail.
[Patent Bolt via Daily Mail]
Sorry, I was under the assumption that these articles concern science and not politics. I labor under the assumption that if "going to jail" is not sufficient to deter one from committing crimes then that person should be in jail. Don't you watch Sci-Fi? Did you not expect that everything will change with technology? Even shackles.
There is no meaning outside of what we seek and what we expect to find!
Ever sit for a while and think hard about an invention you want to patent, ad the harder you think the less likely you are of coming up with something? And then you see an article like this and it's like " duhhh why didn't I think of that!?"
I don't see the concern here. If a guard wishes to torture or kill a prisoner, they don't need stun cuffs to do that. The risk of abusing prisoners is not any greater with these devices.
If abuse is the issue, then more oversight and accountability is in order. Keeping the Department of Corrections in the stone ages is not the answer.
The up side to this device is that it allow guards to incapacitate a prisoner without a physical confrontation. This makes life a whole lot safer for the guards and may lead to fewer incidents of prisoner abuse (reprisals).
I find it curious that more people seem to identify with the prisoner than the guard.
Democedes, you need to hit up youtube and also go through the history books and tell me how effective oversight has been...
There are a million videos of cops using tazers in situations that were against policy, yet in almost none of these offenses has anyone been held accountable. You assume these handcuffs will only be used in prisons, and even if they are, oversight and accountability within prisons has been an incredibly hard thing to achieve. Remember, most people don't believe or even want to hear the words of a "criminal." In their mind, those people are less than human.
...and police brutality did not exist before the tazer was invented? The technology is not responsible for abuse or lack of proper training. If there is a corruption problem, address it, if there is a training problem, fix it. But denying the good guards/police the most effective tools to do their jobs safely will not help a corruption/training problem.
You do realize there are also good people that serve as police and prison guards. Right?
They should use the same policy they use when they shoot thier gun, administrative leave with pay while the use is revued. As for the drugs, that's just plane stupid, if the person is restrained with cuffs they can be handled rather easily. It's just too risky that someone may have an alergic or other type of reaction to the drug.
Democedes, don't try to imply something I'm not saying. Sure, there will always be abuse and always has been, but tazers increased the level of abuse 100 fold. This is a tazer with an additional option to be abused. There is no need for this device to exist because officers already have tazers.
Sure, there are good people in some of those positions, but everyday I see those good people stand by and not police the bad people in their ranks. There is a video of a NY cop punching a girl he thought hit him with silly string. He decked her to the ground right in front of 6 other officers and not one of them interfered. They actually assisted him when he put her in handcuffs. Turns out the girl wasn't the one who hit him and the video shows it.
That oversight you speak of requires a small amount of people in elected and appointed positions to cooperate and investigate. Most have shown no interest in doing anything about the abuses, so I'm sorry if I don't believe your plan would work. I'd rather eliminate the devices of torture that violate due process laws, since they were never needed before their invention.
phoenixamaranth -
How many deaths are caused by police using tazers? Very few.
How many deaths are caused by police using their sidearm? Many.
Do police sometimes use tazers in situations where they would not use a gun? Yes. However, are more lives saved by using tazers instead of guns, even with the tazers are overutilied? Yes, they are.
Also, tazers not only replace guns, they also replace beating people in the head with billy clubs and nightsticks (something police used to do much more often, sometimes with deadly results).
Obey the laws and treat LE with respect and they will respond with kindness. I've never had an unpleasant interaction with LE, because LE works to make my world safer.
If putting you in electro cuffs keeps my LE safe, criminals off the street, and more tax dollars in my pocket - then I am all for them.
Actually, and electro ankle braclet makes a lot of sense for prisons. 24/7 monitering, remote tazing, and auto-shock and alarm zones. Imagine a prison riot where with a button push the entire inmate population hits the floor twitching - beautiful.
How deaths have occurred from handcuffed suspects or inmates? Very few.
Ever heard of the Constitution of the Unites States?
It has this one part about Due Process. Do you know what Due Process is?
There is a very clear reason for Due Process. Its so no one party of our justice system gets to be judge, jury, and executioner.
Gwinnett County, Georgia 2010, officers used their tazers 17,000 times. 17,000! That's one county! I don't recall hearing about 17,000 nightstick and billy club incidents prior to tazers, do you? You can bury your head in the sand and pretend you are on the righteous side of this, but remember, this is happening to people who haven't even stood trial for a crime yet. Ever heard of innocent before proven guilty?
in order to thank everyone, characteristic, novel style, varieties, low price and good quality, and the low sale price. Thank everyone

@ Robot Your statement is flawed because these drugs obviously would not be addictive or used in excessive amounts. They are meant to tranquilize criminal so no one is hurt. I do not know what types of drug problems you have or how much pleasure you get from handcuffing yourself in public places........
"Mr. Police officer cuff me, cuff me PLEASE! Dam it, cuff me now!!!
Aaaaaaa, thank you!" Robot my friend
"I don't recall hearing about 17,000 nightstick and billy club incidents prior to tazers, do you?"
No. Do you know why? Because it wasn't a big deal to use a billy club. You personally do not ever hear about when someone is restrained with the force of a billy club unless you see it. It is not EVER reported on. When resorting to the use of a billy club, the officer already believes the suspect is a danger in need of physical restraint and will beat him until he stops resisting. If he didn't, the officer could be killed. Use of the billy club could just as easily result in the death of the suspect.
People make a big deal about the use of Tazers when they are SAFER than the alternatives that are used in the exact same circumstances. People like you, phoenixamaranth, are out of touch with the reality of law enforcement. Tazers are used only because of the high degree of safety inherent in the system.

We analyze the consequences of control on motivation in an experimental principalagent
game, where the principal can control the agent by implementing a minimum
performance requirement before the agent chooses a productive activity. Our
results show that control entails hidden costs since most agents reduce their
performance as a response to the principals controlling decision. Overall, the effect
of control on the principals payoff is nonmonotonic. When asked for their emotional
perception of control, most agents who react negatively say that they perceive
the controlling decision as a signal of distrust and a limitation of their choice
autonomy. (JEL D82, Z13)

Covington Co. Kicks Off Miracle League Parents often dream about sharing sports with their children, but with a special needs child, that dream often fades -- but that wasn't the case in Covington County. Ashley Stacy is five years old and has Down-Syndrome. For the first time, Ashley and more than 20 other children, many using wheelchairs and walkers, made their way onto Johnson Park's new Miracle Field in Andalusia to play baseball. Ashley's father, Tony, describes the feeling as he watches his daughter and other children play on the ballfield. "That's our life. You know, we love her, love her, love her and the baseball... when you see her and all the other kids playing, oh, it's great. And they have got a smile on their face, [thinking] 'oh I have done something.'" Said Stacy, Schools in Covington County are testing the field during "Special Adventures" Field Day -- many of these children are Miracle League players themselves -- making miracles happen one hit at a time. The field is wheelchair accessible and each child has a buddy, who works with them. There's a playground next to the field that's wheelchair accessible, as well. "The kids go out there, they have fun, they maneuver the best they can and, you know, it's just a great, fun time!" Said Project Coordinator for the Covington County Miracle League, Barbara Tyler.It's not too late to sign up for the Miracle League... The program is open to all ages... Just call 222-2714. About $560,000 has been raised for the field and playground. The Covington County Miracle League Foundation needs about $25,000 more to finish paying for the playground, so if you'd like to donate, just visit www.cityofandalusia.com. It's also not too late to sign up for the Miracle League. The program is open to all ages. To sign up call 222-2714 Covington County has just started a Miracle League, giving some special children a chance to shine at sports. |

Justin's Mom: Pattie Mallette
Justin Bieber grew up with his mother, Pattie Mallette, in Stratford, Ontario after his parents split when he was young. Before Bieber was born, a 17-year-old Mallette went into the hospital for trying to commit suicide after being sexually abused and turning to drugs and alcohol as a child. She cleaned up her act and joined an evangelical church. Mallette played a vital role in launching Bieber's career when she uploaded clips of a 12-year-old Bieber singing to YouTube in 2007 and has played an active role ever since. Bieber credits her as "the person most responsible for my success" in a clip promoting this year's Grammy Awards.

Taylor Swift isn't in the movie adaptation of Les Misérables anymore. The country singer was offered to play the role of Eponine last month in the upcoming film adaptation of the well-known stage play. But today, news around the internet is buzzing about how Swift is being replaced by U.K. stage actress Samantha Barks. Barks played the role twice before in a London production in 2010, and during the 25th Anniversary Concert at the 02 Arena in 2011.
The 21-year-old Barks also beat out other high-profiled talent for the role, including Evan Rachel Wood, Scarlett Johansson and Lea Michelle. The film is being directed by Tom Hooper, and so far has a confirmed cast of Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Eddie Redmayne and Anne Hathaway, among others.

Currently, FiOS offers VOD, et. al. over IPTV. Can Verizon (maybe with the help of SeaChange) write an application for Windows 7 Media Center that will allow MC users to access the VOD and PPV libraries over IPTV? Yes, I know there are options like NetFlix for PPV, but if I only want to see 2 or 3 movies a year, I don't want the monthly fee if I can avoid it.
Then, when VZ begins migrating channels to IPTV to relieve the QAM space constraints, the application can then also tune in the channels that are migrated to IPTV. Imagine what one could do with the Ceton Infinitv4 + IPTV app for FiOS.
If such an app were to be created, please do not have me acknowledge EVERY time that the application is for use by Verizon Customers (like Call Assistant). Just have me acknowledge that during the install.
This would be a cool feature to allow what ever content you have available for VOD to be accessed VIA a PC, along with the channels currently available online. It would not even need to be an application, but just an add on to the existing online viewing options. It could extend the reach of your VOD pay services to customers, and allow online access to the free content. More exposure for your VOD pay content. But then this may conflict with the new studio requirements of a 28 day released delay I believe I read about. I believe your VOD makes it available first. But this being a subscription service to make VOD available through FiOS it could be a loop hole for you. Get legal to look at it. It would put you leaps and bounds above the competition, and perhaps entice more customers to FiOS.
well, at least it hasn't been flat out rejected yet!!!
prisaz, I don't know if I would want them to extend it out to only the online viewing options. I would like Verizon to integrate IPTV tuning into Media Center and allow us to access the Verizon VOD and PPV libraries seamlessly in the Media Center Guide, if possible.
I know this only plays with the "geeks" in the crowd and could be an issue for Verizon support, if they had to support Windows Media Center. However, I wonder if it would be possible to extend FiOS into Widows Media Center on an "experimental" or "limited support" basis. I think those who use Media Center (and I am a noob w/ it) could find support through these forums or others dedicated to Media Center (like that Microsoft owned one).
Thanks Verizon for considering this option.
Please note I did vote for your Idea. Everyone can comment and provide feedback on ideas. If you click on the votes number at the top of the votes box, it shows who voted. Note prisaz being gold gives you two votes. Under consideration is a good thing, it means they are evaluating the idea, not just acknowledging it is here.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of FiOS as I do. But there is always room for improvement.
I do know you voted for my idea, and I thank you for that. Maybe I misread what you wrote (which is entirely possible). I just wanted to clarify my idea a little more and didn't want it stop at the just VOD/PPV, considering we all know that Verizon has to move some channels over to IPTV to alleviate the QAM space issue.
Been a happy customer since 11/08, and enjoyed my drive to the Time Warner Cable shop down the street with all of my gear in my arms!!!
I was extremely happy to see it "Under Review" instead of "Not Likely" at this point.
I would vote more than once if I could. I bet that there are a lot more folks that would use your suggestion than most might think, simply because the idea isn't old enough or public enough yet. A lot of folks don't even know what's possible right now. I guess that some might have an issue regarding copywrite infringement, but I think that ship may have sailed already.
Accepted? Cool. Thanks Verizon.
Hopefully, some feature are available when channels begin moving to IPTV. I realy don't want to lose channels for any period of time.
Again, thanks Verizon.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Hornets will continue receiving a tax break that saves the NBA team $37 million over 10 years.
The Senate sent the tax break bill to the governor's desk Monday with a 28-7 vote. The measure, supported by Gov. Bobby Jindal, is part of the state's deal to the keep the Hornets in Louisiana and a piece of the agreement with new team owner Tom Benson, who also owns the New Orleans Saints.
The tax break ran into sharp criticism in the House, where lawmakers bristled at the idea of giving a multimillion dollar tax break while also weighing budget cuts to colleges and health services.
But Senate President John Alario, who is from the New Orleans area, handled the tax break bill in the Senate, a move that muted complaints Monday.
Alario, R-Westwego, said the Hornets have a strong economic impact on the city of New Orleans and the state.
The bill by Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, extends an existing tax break that saves the team $3.7 million a year through Louisiana's Quality Jobs Program. The exemption was set to expire in 2013. Henry's bill continues the rebate through the 2024 NBA season.

The Seagull Coastline S6 GT is a dreadnought acoustic guitar with a burst finish that exudes the flash of some other acoustic guitars but with earthy colors that retain the natural look of wood.
There's just something classic about a sunburst finish on an acoustic guitar, and it has always been a popular choice.
Seagull Coastline series guitars are one of the world's outstanding values in acoustic guitars. The back and sides of the Coastline series guitars are made from a 3-layer lamination of wild cherry wood. Seagull Coastline series guitars also feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.
With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a mahogany guitar and the bright sound of maple, wild cherry has proven itself to be an excellent guitar tone wood. Grown locally, wild cherry is also an ecologically friendly choice.

Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought my S6 GT Burst on an auction site. I had played a friends S6 and figured it was worth the risk. Well, this guitar has massively exceeded my expectations. Its obviously done some work and was much loved by the previous owner (who incidentally bought a new Seagull). When it arrived I took it straight to my local luthier to have it checked over and setup. Very slight twist in the neck (fixed) and that was it. I love this guitar and hope to never have to sell it. Its a testament to the build quality of Seagulls.
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
There is no comparison of this model to any Pac-Rim made guitar on the planet.Fretbosrd and spacing are like butter. Did not need setup. Solid built, yet lighter than an S6 that I sent back because of poor fretboard. I thought the Coastline series might have better quality control. I was right. Super volume when pushed. Brighter, but not quite as balanced as an American Martin, but way better than the Martin imports.Sunburst finish is terrific. Blends perfectly into the cherry (lam) sides.If you look real hard, you will see that it is not finished quite as well as a $1,000+ North American, but again, looking real close.If you want a terrific guitar, that will look, feel, and play far into your future, this is the one. No one can knock it. The fact it was a bargain will be a distant memory.Did I mention, you can drown out any of your buddies dreads in volume... so practice! ;-)
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
Not a bad guitar right out of the box, untouchable in this price range. But at times the sound did seem a little tinny to me before making a couple of upgrades. It didn't come with a pick gaurd, so I immediately took care of that. But the best thing I did for sound was replace the factory saddle and bridge pins, which I think are Tusq, with custom bone replacements from Bob Colesi. Wow...what a difference. There's no strap button at the base of the neck either from the factory. But I also ordered one of those from Bob Colesi, and followed Seagull's specific instructions to install it. I recommend running either D'Addario EXP's, light gauge, phospher bronze, (not 80/20's). Or Elixir, same type & size. Or go with medium lights if you insist on 80/20's. It seems these two strings give me the richest sound, at least with the bone upgrades. This is a solid, well made instrument made in Canada by Godin in Quebec. It has a slightly wider neck, (1.8), than most steel strung guitars which I have grown to really like. Upgrades, or not, this guitar is untouchable in it's price range. And in fact competes with guitars well over twice it's cost with just a little love.P.S. I also ended getting a Matrix Infinity pick-up installed last week. The plugged-in sound is unbelievable!!!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
Though this guitar doesn't have all the fancy inlays, it is second to none in looks. I bought this guitar in January 09 and it still holds its tune well. Like all Seagull guitars, moving up and down the fretboard is so much easier then most other guitars I've played. It really responds well when flatpicked. It has good highs and lows. The only thing I didn't like was it seemed a little quiet and muffled when played fingerstyle. It is still a good buy, no doubt.
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought this baby used after the New Year for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately it hadn't been played for almost a year and the wood was nearly dried out from being stashed away. Luckily I have some Ernie Ball fret conditioning wipes and polish, so once I stripped the strings I gave this baby a total makeover and WOW - it is something to see in person. The beautiful Sunburst tone is a classical look that not only accents the rosewood frets and cherry wood sides well but hanging on the wall it can be a centerpiece in anyone's collection. Holding this thing for the first time felt like I had something organic in my hand. That's a huge statement considering that most of the guitars in this price range feel really boxy and mass-produced, like something without a spirit or personality. Man does this guitar have PERSONA! You can tell from the satin cherry wood side/back to the rosewood wood frets that this thing comes from REAL wood. Something that was once alive and breathing before being manifested into a beautiful piece of art through years of tradition (Godin is known for its love of fine woods and craftsmanship). I have to wipe it down with polish after every nearly session!With quality built tuners that help sustain tone throughout, I only had to re-tune once during the re-string after I let the strings stretch. Since then they have been set and hold in place nicely.The bone colored nut and bridge pins, along with saddle offer a nice touch visually but are not the real thing. I see myself upgrading to real bone soon.The only downside to this guitar is that it can be a bit difficult to play at first. The action is a bit high from what I'm used to (2 Yamahas and an Epiphone) and the frets are in fact larger than standard. Playing open chords can be easier, but barring and transitioning will take some time and practice due to its oversize. But what it lacks in playability it redeems itself in TONE.The recommended string gauge is about an RPM 12, but I placed DR Rare 11s on and the bass response is still pretty good. Not too heavy, but strong mids and bright highs. The tone is very warm and surprisingly very uniform. I own a Yamaha FG720s and I thought that was a pretty darn good guitar, but right off the bat the Seagull made its presence known. It is something I will hold onto for many years and I wait anxiously for it to mature into my collection. I can't wait to hear what it will sound like in 10 years!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
This guitar rocks! Get one especially if you are on a tight budget. Its worth more than what you pay, for Sure!
Comments about Seagull Coastline S6 GT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I bought this guitar about 10 months ago and it was my first upgrade from my first guitar that I had received for my birthday. Anyways the guy in the guitar shop new that this was guitar for me when I explained to him the kind of sound that I wanted. I fell in love with the thing from the first strum and it just gets better and better with every month that passes! I think anyone who wants a great guitar for a cheap price, should just buy this one! You probably wont regret it!The only draw back is that since the top is cedar, its super easy to dent and scratch. So treat it like a newborn baby!

The Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club is a shining example of this. Established in 1996 and situated on 70 hectares of picturesque green land, this resort-style public access course ranks among the best in Canberra, and features a superb playing surface and beautiful attention to detail throughout.

Patronage continues to grow in response and today the three clubs have a collective membership base of more than 40,000.

Best buy ever. Both dogs love them, even the one that isn't much of a chewer
I thought my dog would love this, but she hasn't shown much interest in it. Apparently it doesn't have much flavor to her, I don't know. She is a 2 year old daschund/basset hound. She spends months on other bones chewing and licking them till they're clean, but so far this one hasn't been touched much. Not to say it's not a good purchase as it might just not be the best for my dog, but might be excellent for other dogs. It's a good price!

BLACKFOOT—Disappointment did not cross Stephanie Palmer's mind when she didn't win one of three vans given away by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) which gave away three 2012 wheelchair-accessible vehicles last month. Instead Palmer expressed her amazement and gratitude, "I was truly blown away by the support I received." With over 22,000 votes, Palmer came in 14th place and was in the top 3 percent to be considered for the vehicle.
BLACKFOOT—Chaune Bumgarner has an eye for art and the endless capacity to love children. That is why Bumgarner is thrilled to present "Art by Kids" first ever art show Thursday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The 37 students will be showcasing five to seven of their best pieces including brightly colored art of dinosaurs, fairies, flowers and abstract images in various different mediums.
BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot Broncos and the Bonneville Bees combined for 46 runs, 49 hits and well over five hours of baseball on Tuesday evening and at the end of the marathon day on the diamond, the two teams split the double header, with Bonneville winning 9-7 in game one and Blackfoot rebounding for a 19-11 win in the nightcap. "Whenever you see Bonneville on the schedule it just sort of amps everything up," Blackfoot head coach Jeff Katseanes said. "To pick up a split is huge. Both teams are very good and I have to say, I like the way that our team are playing."

Pretty light flavor. I taste the acai, but it's not strong. Just a hint of it mixed in with the wheat. Good sweetness level with fruity/berry overtones. This would be a good "dessert" beer for warm summer days. I had this at a fondue restaurant and it paired well with the many and varied flavors of the food we had, which ranged all over meat, seafood and veggies. Overall I give this a thumbs up.

Pours a hazy gold with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, and subdued berry aromas. Taste is much the same with watery grain and slightly tart berry flavors on the finish. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a below average beer that is fairly drinkable but it's quite watery and bland all around.

not as bad as the masses say, but a little too sweet to be refreshing. not sure how they did this either, im pretty sure you can only get powdered or concentrated acai berries in the united states, and that the fresh berries have very little to them other than skin. did eel river user a powder or what? id like to know. the beer itself pours a hazy orangey yellow color, a little unnatural looking, but there is a nice white head on top with acceptable retention. the nose is sweet, somewhere between blackberry and blueberry, with lots of malted wheat and unfiltered yeast. the flavor is about the same, but the sweetness of the fruit element is overtaking, very from concentrate sort of sugary aspect to it, overdone I think. could use a little more hops to crisp up the finish too. decent mouthfeel, light as hell, especially at only 4% abv. could be a great summer drink with a few modifications. I much preferred the bigger stuff from eel river, but props for this being organic.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3
12 oz bottle pours a clear gold color with a fluffy cap of white head. Retention is average and the lacing light.
Nose is somewhere between blueberries and pomegranates on the fruit scale with some notable wheat tang to give it some sharpness.
Taste is lighter than expected with a grainy sweetness and a cardboardy-wheatiness. The berry flavors are there, but not a whole lot else going on. Not a bad beer, and the acai flavors are there, but just a bit too one-dimensional with the base beer being too light, boring and neutral.

Myth Busters: Pete Townshend's Recording Secrets (17/04/2009) The sound is legendary: a maelstrom of rhythm and fill playing emanating from a single guitar part — a combination of crushing power chords and jangling suspended trills, all holding the floor together beneath an ordered chaos of seemingly floating drum and bass accompaniments.

text: 14 notes & December 14, 2011 Why shit breaks. So yesterday was my one year anniversary at Formspring. We built a lot of stuff in the past year and it's been a hell of a ride. One of the first features I built was the ability to ask a question to all of your followers. We wanted to get the site ready to be used by high profile users. You know - the ones that get a lot of followers. In order to understand this, picture your Facebook, you have maybe 400 or 500 friends on there, but the maximum number of friends you can get max-out at 5000. Some of our accounts have over 1 Million Followers. That's 200 times what you can get on Facebook. Yep that's right. So now picture that new feature. You can ask a question to 1 Million person. Have you ever sent an email to 1M person ? Let's say you have a Million friend (lucky you) where would you be storing this information ? Have you ever opened a spreadsheet with a Million rows ? It kinds of make your laptop look like it went from the latest build of Mac Os X to Windows 95. Now imagine you have 27 Million spreadsheets (one per user of course), and all of them constantly add friends, remove them, that's a lot of editing ! So obviously, all this data is stored on several machines, because a) it doesn't fit on one machine b) you don't want to lose that data so you have to replicate it on other machines. Still following me ? So we basically know that it takes a lot of machines to be able to store that data accurately, but now you need to actually process the message that you want to send to all the people you follow, and again, how does this work ? Well it's being stored in another spreadsheet ! That's right. It's a lot of spreadsheets. With a lot of information. Because every time one of these accounts ask a question to their 1 Million followers, we need to go through the spreadsheet with the information about their friends, and for each friend, open their spreadsheet and add a new question to it :) Wait - What - did you just add a line to 1M different spreadsheets ? Yep that's right. And so forth and so on every time people ask questions on the site. For your to get an idea, the order of magnitude of spreadsheets edited per minute is in the "tens of thousands". In order to accomplish this, we have a lot of machines to host that information, process it, send emails etc. etc. These machines must be running 24/7. You can never turn then off, because well - if you do, they stop doing their work and people do not get their messages in their inbox :) So again - for you to understand this, we're not talking about a couple of machines processing that information, we're talking about hundreds of them. Now ask yourself this question - in the past year or so, has your laptop/computer ever act up ? You know like - slowing down, freezing, lost connection to internets. That kind of stuff. To make this easy, let's say we have 365 servers running at Formspring. On average a computer that runs 24/7 acts up once every two years. The site has been up for over 2 years now. Which means that every single of these server actually failed at one point. That's a server acting up every 2 days. We currently have 7 engineers on rotation to take care of the site 24/7. No matter what time of the day/night one of these server goes down, the designated engineer has to fix it with as little impact as possible for the users. I can tell you that when you're responsible for the whole infrastructure of a website with 27 Million users, and something breaks, you suddenly feel very tiny, and quite lonely. I realize this is very very abstract (no we don't actually use spreadsheet to store our data :) ), but I hope it gives people a good idea of what's going on behind the scene. At that scale, the smallest changes can make big differences. but keep in mind that the more you grow, the more likely you are to go down.

CDC: 1 in 24 Admit Nodding Off While Driving
NEW YORK (AP) — This could give you nightmares: 1 in 24 U.S. adults say they recently fell asleep while driving.
And health officials think the number is probably higher. That's because some people don't realize it when they nod off for a second or two behind the wheel. In a government study released Thursday, a little over 4 percent of U.S. adults said they fell asleep while driving at least once in the previous month. Some earlier studies reached a similar conclusion, but the survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was far larger. The study found drowsy driving was more common in men and in people ages 25 to 34. The results are from a survey of 147,000 adults in 2009 and 2010.

A Utah woman used Google Maps' walking directions on her Blackberry and was given directions to walk onto a highway. She got hit and is now suing Google for damages.
You know those warning labels on those chemical packets that come in new shoes that say 'do not eat'? Have you ever wondered why they have to print something so stupidly obvious?
Enter Lauren Rosenberg of Park City, Utah. She used Google Maps on her Blackberry to get walking directions from one part of town to another. Part of those directions included walking on a road without sidewalks called Deer Valley Drive, aka Utah State Route 224.
According to court documents, instead of finding a different route or walking safely away from traffic, she walked into the street and was (surprise!) struck by a car. Now she's suing Google for in excess of $100,000.
Defendant Google, through its "Google Maps" service provided Plaintiff Lauren Rosenberg with walking directions that led her out onto Deer valley Drive, a.k.a. State Route 224, a rural highway with no sidewalks, and a roadway that exhibits motor vehicles traveling at high speeds, that is not reasonably safe for pedestrians.
The Defendant Google expects uses of the walking map site to rely on the accuracy of the walking directions given….
As a direct and proximate cause of Defendant Google's careless, reckless, and negligent providing of unsafe directions, Plaintiff Laren Rosenberg was led onto a dangerous highway, and was thereby stricken by a motor vehicle…

CMP Completes Construction of New Timing and Scoring Building
CAROLINA MOTORSPORTS PARK TAKES THEIR RACE EXPERIENCE TO A NEW LEVEL Kershaw, SC (February 22, 2008) Carolina Motorsports Park is back better than ever after a brief period of closing its doors to undergo extensive improvements and track renovations, offering motorsports enthusiasts much to be excited about. The new management team, with their extensive expertise in racing, added alternate turn configurations, built twenty four day garages, added a 200 ft. x 50 ft. wet/dry skid pad, and repaved most of the corners, offering increased speeds, reduced tire wear, and better grip. And this is just the beginning of what is to be a multi-phase track overhaul.
Revisions have been made to turns 12, 13 & 14. Turns 12 and 13 now offer alternate configurations as well as increased speeds. Turn 14 has been permanently changed. The apex curbing has been removed and 16 ft. of pavement has been added to the inside of the corner, making it approximately 5 MPH faster. Most turns have been newly repaved. The previously sand paddock roads are also now paved. The new 200 ft wet/dry skidpad allows drivers to learn crucial car control skills in a safe controlled environment. The day garages guarantee guests the luxury of reserved spacious parking as well as their own paddock area with exclusive electrical access and shelter from the weather.
In addition to the physical renovations and additions being done, on January 1st CMP officially launched The Palmetto Motorsports Club. The club has been created to offer affordable and easy track access to anyone with a passion for speed. Novice drivers/riders will find the advice and instruction they want from a staff of professional drivers, while experienced drivers can test and tune.
Located just an hour from Charlotte in Kershaw, SC, Carolina Motorsports Park is the only purpose-built road racing facility in the Carolinas. Sanctioned by The Sports Car Club of America and designed by famed track designer, Alan Wilson, the track offers a challenging 2.23 mile, 14-turn road course. It was built in 1999 by a small group of investors, led by driving enthusiasts Joe Hooker and Bob Humphreys. Carolina Motorsports Park's clientele includes organizations such as the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), National Auto Sport Association (NASA), Porsche Club of America (PCA), BMW Car Club Of America (BMWCCA), WERA, NESBA, CCS, and AHRMA. Teams competing in NASCAR, Champ Car, American Le Mans Series, Grand AM, Koni Challenge and World Challenge also utilize the track for testing.
