ALEPPO, SYRIA (Catholic Online) - The news out of Syria continues to shock the conscience of anyone who still has one. However, the solutions, at least from a geopolitical perspective, evade a clear answer. The brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria, is committing atrocities against the Syrian people. The allegations I they have used chemical weapons against their own people.
However, the opposition is composed of some groups which may be even worse than the regime. For example, the militant Islamists. In the crosshairs of this escalating violence are the Christians. Just this week, Bishop Boulos Yazigi of the Greek Orthodox Church and Bishop John Ibrahim of the Assyrian Orthodox Church were kidnapped. They were traveling from the Turkish border to Aleppo, Syria.
Among the strongest voices in the growing international outcry calling for the release of the Bishops is Pope Francis, a champion of peace who is also well aware of the dangers of militant, extremist versions of Islam. He referred to the kidnapping as "a dramatic confirmation of the tragic situation in which the Syrian population and its Christian community is living."
Like most of my readers, the continual images coming out of the Syrian tragedy trouble me greatly. The horrors inflicted upon men, women and children by a regime which seems to have no conscience continually fill our television, computer and smart phone screens with an almost surreal regularity.
However, the infliction of these wounds and the multiplication of murderous acts is not limited to the current regime in Syria. Some who claim to be combating the regime seem just as hell bent on killing, maiming and inflicting evil upon the people of Syria, and, in particular, upon the Christians of that ancient land. Our Christian faith precedes in time and history the presence of Islam in Syria.
Evil like this knows no bounds. It must be exposed by the only force able to vanquish it, the love of the God whose heart breaks for the victims; the God who is fully revealed in the Sacred Heart of His beloved Son which was pierced by the soldiers spear on Golgotha's Hill.
In the face of all that is happening in the Middle East, I try to pay special attention to the plight of the Christians in that ancient land which has such a rich place in our Christian history. I also try, as Editor in Chief of Catholic Online, to call regular attention to the plight of our Christian brethren who suffer such intense persecution precisely because they remain faithful to the ancient faith.
I am happy to report some good news in the midst of the seemingly unending stream of bad news out of Syria. Il sussidiaro.net recently featured a marvelous interview with a Trappist nun who is a part of a community which moved to Syria to focus the greatest weapon we have against the growing encroachment of evil in that land so rooted in Church history. That weapon is prayer.
You can read the interview here. Last year, Asia News featured these wonderful nuns. Here is an excerpt: "Amid the chaos of the Syrian civil war, when the main noise has been the sound of bombs going off and the screams of those they wounded, there are still some places where the prevailing hatred is held at bay. One of them is a Trappist monastery in the small Maronite village of Azeir, located in western Syria between the cities of Tartous and Homs."
"Five Italian nuns from the Monastery of Valserena (Pisa) call it home. Despite the fighting raging around them, they chose to stay in the country. "Despite our Italian nationality," said Sister Monica, superior of the Mother House, "and the resources we might have because of it, we are part of this community and cannot leave at a time of trial. Its fate is our fate."
"In letters written over the past few months and posted on the monastery's website, the nuns describe the tragedies of the war and the suffering endured by the residents of the villages that surround them. For the sisters, the monastery is a tangible sign of hope.
"A place where God is worshiped in his real presence, both Eucharistic and Ecclesial, through prayers and brotherly communion, is a blessing for all." However, "Our neighbours are discouraged," said one of the letters posted. "Even in our small village, civilians and young conscripts have been killed."
"The country," wrote another, "has become a battleground for adversaries that are bigger than Syria, people who came to fight in this land and this people to settle their own conflicts." In each post, the Trappist nuns call on all Christians to pray for the Syrian population that welcomed them. According to them, "people want justice, freedom, democracy but also jobs and a chance to go out with the family."
"During the months of war, Muslims came to the monastery, not only to ask for basic items, but also for some comfort."Some young people began turning to us because they needed someone to help them think, grow and reflect," one nun said.
"The nuns responded to such requests with their life, full of prayers and small actions, like growing vegetables in the garden and tending the orchard, which produces all sorts of fruit," another nun said. Bearing witness in this simple fashion helps people have hope and stand up to hatred, mindful of the traditions of this land where Christians and Muslims have lived in peace for centuries."
"Our trust in man comes from Christian hope and it is stronger than all the horrors," Sister Monica wrote. "Christians are called to bear witness to it in the world. Since we have been called to Syria, why leave?"
These holy, happy nuns of Syria make me proud to be a Catholic Christian. Their life is beautiful. Their prayer is powerful. More powerful than any weapons of mass destruction. They also reveal the beauty of the prophetic and timeless mission of the Catholic Church. In 2005 they left their beautiful Monastery of Valserena in Italy to found a monastery in Syria. They left a place of peace for a place plagued by the intrinsic evil of war. Why would they do this?
First, because they really know Jesus Christ; I mean REALLY know Jesus Christ, in the way we all better get to know him quicklu as this new missionary age unfolds. They also did so because they were inspired by the heroic witness of seven Cistercian monks of Tibhirine who were martyred in 1996 in Algeria. The witness of these heroic monks is chronicled in an extraordinary film entitled "Of Gods and Men" You can read more about the life and sacrificial service of these holy women here.
I call these nuns to my readers attention in order to encourage you to pray for them and with them. I also want to make an important point. The prayer of these holy nuns is more powerful than any weapon of evil. They stand at the center of the Lord's profound plan for this beautiful land which is the home of some of our most inspiring descendants as Christians. After all, that is who we are, first, last and all in between, Christians!
They explained their decision to leave Italy and travel to Syria in these words: "There is another important reason for choosing this land to build a new monastic foundation, even if, indeed, we were led to Syria by the providence. Here, in fact, the development of Christianity started. It shortly spread throughout Minor Asia, Greece, Rome and then Armenia, India up to China."
"Since (the) first centuries, the missionary action was borne and carried out by a very much lively monastic movement, arisen in the same time and independently as regards to the Egyptian one, more well-known. Saints like Aphrahat, Ephrem the Syrian, Simeon Stylites, Maron, Isaac of Nineveh and many others following their marks like John Chrysostom and John of Damascus, started a very rich spiritual tradition. We want to follow in the wake of them, starting from our Latin and Benedictine tradition, convinced about the fruitfulness coming from a deep exchange between the Eastern and Western heritage."
Their prophetic life should inspire all of us, no matter what our state in life or specific vocation within the one call to Christian discipleship, to respond in a similar way. Last year I wrote an article entitled "Blessings, Peace and Harmony: Monks are Prophetic Seeds of Renewal in a World Waiting to be Reborn" to call attention to the wonderful apostolate of monks who released a recording which is climbing the charts in the USA. Those monks, though perceived by some to be irrelevant, hold the world up by their prayer and prophetic life.
I write of these dear Cistercian nuns, who through their prayers and holy witness keep the lawlessness and evil of the devil at bay in the beautiful land of Syria, in order to challenge my readers to wake up and get ready. The Catholic Church is Christ's Church, spread throughout the whole world, to carry on His continuing redemptive mission. We are just beginning to face a spreading persecution.
These nuns in Syria reveal the Catholic Church in all of her beauty and prophetic grandeur. Thay are the realists. They know that the battle raging is a spiritual one and prayer is the most potent force. Do we? Pray for these nuns and allow their example and prayers to inspire your own participation in the work of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We are in a great spiritual battle and, in the words of St Paul, "The weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds". (2 Cor. 10:4)
We are living in a new missionary age. Whether in the West, where the memory of Christian influence fades under increasing persecution inflicted by rabid secularism and godless modernism, or in the East, which bleeds under the overt persecution from Jihadists and despots, the challenge is the same. We are called to prophetically bear witness to the Truth as fully revealed in Jesus Christ.
God alone can bring peace to Syria and to a world which has forgotten Him. He works through people like the nuns of Syria who understand reality. Do we?

From where I lay
I can hear the church bells
They let me know
It's time to sow
The sound never changes
But the tune always does
Who pulls the strings
And makes me want to sing
What problems do I have?
Are they worth anything?
Is my soul a part of the world?
Should I help peace unfurl?
There are times I feel tired
Lo, I am most admired
Life it may not show me
Just where my position will be
But given time
I will be fine
Walk and then dare cross that fine line
Cherish the day I do sleep and
Swim in fine red wine
Maybe then I will ring the bells
As sweetly as Heaven doth tells
Serving as that bright light
Keeping me on a path so right

Microsoft tool hunts down typo squatters
- Related Stories
The secret of phishers' successApril 3, 2006
Microsoft gives error pages new directionSeptember 5, 2001
Whitehouse.com goes to pornSeptember 5, 1997
The company's Cybersecurity and Systems Management group released a prototype of Strider URL Tracer with Typo-Patrol version last week. The tool is designed to seek out and block mistyped versions of domain names--www.frod.com instead of www.ford.com, for example.
Typo squatters are companies that exploit slips of the fingers by registering for mistyped versions of popular URLs. Some typo domains are parking lots for pay-per-click and syndicated advertising, according to a Microsoft research paper published alongside the tool. The group's researchers found that a mere six services have a presence on between 40 and 70 percent of active typo domains.
In addition to serving up ad links, typo squatters deliver pop-ups and pop-unders, and can redirect surfers to the intended domain. Often, the users are never even aware that they have visited a third-party site. As a result, many legitimate companies have been blamed for pop-ups advertising porn.
On top of this, companies may end up paying out for the advertising that leads customers to sites they were already aware of and trying to reach.
Consumers can be at risk with typo domains. Some are used in phishing scams, which mimic the look and layout of legitimate online businesses in an effort to dupe people out of personal information such as bank passwords.
Others use wrongly typed URLs for popular children's Web sites to lead surfers to porn sites, or to sites looking to exploit children.
The Microsoft research team described common mistakes people make when typing in a URL: missing dots (Newscom), transposition (Nwes.com), suffix replacement (News.net,) character omission (New.com), character insertion (Newws.com) and character replacement (Newz.com).
Strider URL Tracer alerts people when they are redirected to a third-party site, according to a description on Microsoft's research Web site. It can trace pop-up advertising back to the redirecting domains that supplied them. Parents can use it to block domains that may redirect their children to porn. Companies can use it to monitor for trademark infringement or fraud.
The software is free to download from Microsoft's Strider URL Tracer site. Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 are required for it to work.
The tool works by accessing a bank of information on typo domains from Strider Typo-Patrol, a network of 17 machines run out of Microsoft's Cybersecurity and Systems Management group. The network generates anticipated typos of popular domain names, then scans the Internet for these typo-domains. If they are active, it adds them to the database.

- What if the typo domain is an actual website?
- This tool could cause domains for legitimate websites to be blocked as well. Many times people grab a misspelling of a one word domain to use for an actual site. Is it entirely automated, or is there some human intervention at play when banning these domains?

- Crashed my IE6
- Well, I just attempted to install this latest great tool.. And immediately my IE6 stopped working. Every attempt to launch it popped up the crash window with an opportunity to "Report this error"... After 10 attempts, (and 10 reports), I uninstalled it, and the problem stopped.
Now, let me see if I've got this straight: We were supposed to migrate to XP because it was "bulletproof and hacker-free"...OOPS! Well, SP2 is supposed to make it "bulletproof and hacker-free"!!! OOPS!! Now, we're supposed to migrate to Vista because it will be the best-tested "bulletproof and hacker-free" O.S. ever!! Why don't I want to spend money to watch the hackers prove how UN-bulletproof the new OS is?...(before they've even got the current one bulletproof'd)?

JESSE: Drew Sharp's parents.
from Breaking Bad (Ft. Bryan Cranston & Peter Gould) – Blood Money on Genius
Jesse has always shown a love for children in the show. He took the blame for his little brother when his parents caught him with pot, he got the little kid from "Peekaboo" out of his house and to a better place, and he gave Andrea money to take Brock to a better neighborhood so he wouldn't go down the wrong path. So when he saw Todd shoot a little kid that just happened to drive by them during their train heist, Jesse completely lost his mind. Now he's doing the best he can do to make up for it.

Advocates say inaction will cause massive problems for schools
By Laura Weber
LANSING, MI – Advocates say many school districts could go into deficit if lawmakers take no action this year to fix the state's ailing School Aid Fund.
Members of the group Save Our Students, Schools and State say the Proposal A funding structure for K-12 schools is out of date. It was adopted by voters in the mid-1990s. Tom White is the chairman of the coalition. He says the Legislature needs to evaluate the effectiveness Proposal A.
"Just on general principal you'd say it's time to look at it and make the appropriate changes based on the changes in our economy and our world."
White also says lawmakers need to seriously consider Governor Granholm's proposal to generate money for schools by expanding the sales tax to services. He says that's where the economy is growing, and people will be willing to pay more if they know it will avert painful cuts to classrooms.

A Surge in Architecture Billings in May
Caroline Massie / Architect / June 18, 2014
The design industry snapped out of a two-month decline with a three-point jump in the AIA's Architecture Billings Index (ABI) last month. The AIA reported the May ABI score was 52.6, up considerably from April's score of 49.6. (An index score above 50 indicates growth, whereas a score below 50 indicates contraction.)
The score for the new projects inquiries has been steadily increasing for the past four months. May's value was 63.2, up from 59.1 in April. The numbers in this category have been in positive territory (over the 50-point line) since February 2009.

The Shame of Meatpacking
The strike began, Maria Martinez recalls, because a worker on the loin line wasn't keeping up with the pace of production. When a supervisor pulled him into the office, some thirty workers, Martinez among them, dropped their knives and followed him there. "The superintendent said, 'You've got sixty seconds to get back to work, or everyone's fired,'" says Martinez. "We didn't move, and then he said, 'OK, you guys are all fired.' So we went outside, and the next thing we knew there were hundreds of people outside." This was in June 1999, at an IBP meatpacking plant near Pasco, Washington. Fed up with plant conditions and stalled contract negotiations, close to 800 workers, nearly all of them immigrants, rallied alongside the plant access road for five weeks.
They returned to work discouraged. Though the new contract, narrowly approved, raised starting pay from $7 to $8.50, it eliminated the old $1.50-an-hour pension and did not include a provision allowing workers to stop the chain for sanitary reasons, which workers had wanted. But for Martinez, now principal officer of Teamsters Local 556 in Walla Walla, Washington, the strike was a step forward. "We lost, but we also gained respect, we gained dignity, we gained a lot of strength," Martinez says. On the day they returned to work, she says, "we parked our cars on the picket line, and we all walked in together, chanting, 'The union is back!'"
In fact, IBP workers had made significant gains before the strike, organizing themselves and voting to change the local's bylaws so they could elect their own shop stewards. The following summer, Martinez and fellow strike leader Melquiadez Pereya were elected to lead the local, replacing the older Anglo officers who workers say failed to maintain a strong union presence in the plant. And three years later, the union is back more than ever: The revitalized Local 556 has made a dramatic impact on the shop floor, defending the interests of individual workers while pushing for a safer, more sanitary workplace.
The shouts of protest aren't just coming from Washington. Last September in Amarillo, Texas, hundreds of workers walked out of another IBP plant to protest low wages and chronic staff shortages that had made their already dangerous jobs all the more stressful and hazardous. At an Excel meatpacking plant in Ft. Morgan, Colorado, more than 400 workers conducted another wildcat strike last February. And in Omaha, Nebraska, an Industrial Areas Foundation-affiliated community group called Omaha Together One Community (OTOC) and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) have teamed up to organize workers in a dozen area packing plants. According to IAF organizer Tom Holler, when OTOC began holding meetings in South Omaha in 1993, "It was clear from day one that the major issue in the community was the conditions in these plants."
As readers of Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation (and of past reports in this and other publications) are well aware, America's 150,000 meatpacking workers perform the most dangerous job in the country, many of them making knife cuts every few seconds. In 2000 the official illness and injury rate for meatpacking workers was 25 percent. Given the chronic underreporting of injuries in the industry, particularly when it comes to cumulative stress disorders, the actual injury rate is probably much higher. In Walla Walla, the union examined plant injury logs and found that 781 injuries had been recorded in 1999 and 2000, while in a recent union-sponsored survey of just under 500 workers, two-thirds said they had suffered a work-related health problem in the past twelve months.
The reasons for this are no secret. Four giant competitors--IBP, ConAgra, Excel (owned by Cargill) and Farmland National Beef--dominate the beef industry, together controlling over 85 percent of the US market. Because profit margins are much slimmer than in other manufacturing sectors, the companies are especially intent on keeping labor costs as low as possible and volume as high as possible--which translates into hiring cheap labor, discouraging unions and maintaining intolerably high chain speeds, even if those things contribute to the industry's astronomical turnover rates. Because so many meatpacking workers are recent, non-English-speaking immigrants, some of them in the country illegally, they are less likely to complain about unsafe conditions. Meanwhile, inspections by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration dropped to an all-time low by the late 1990s. No one expects that trend to be reversed under President Bush, who last year proposed cuts in OSHA's budget and, in a move urged by the meat industry and other business groups, repealed workplace ergonomics standards that had been under development for ten years.
Trying to take on a giant meatpacker is not an easy task; in Amarillo more than 500 workers who walked out lost their jobs. (Some have since been hired back.) And it's highly unlikely that a few revitalized union locals could, on their own, force the powerful packers to slow down the breakneck pace of production--the primary cause of the industry's stunningly high injury rates. But after years of industry unionbusting and co-optation, the recent worker actions cut promisingly against the grain.
"There are things that explain these explosions," says David Levin, a Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU) organizer, who has met with meatpacking workers in Pasco and Ft. Morgan. "One is just the incredible speedup and pressure in the workplace, and the safety hazards that come with that. Then there is the really abusive and disrespectful treatment of workers. You're made to work faster than you can safely, and then treated disrespectfully in this often racist way by management. When people are facing these problems as individuals, they seem insurmountable, but in combination it can be an explosive concoction."

Proving negligence in rear-end collision cases.
Even though these collisions are common, most jurors do not truly understand why they occur. Few understand the danger caused by following too closely and most jurors do not normally drive any differently than the rear-ending driver under the facts presented. Therefore, they, have a tendency to be sympathetic to that driver.
This means that a lawyer trying a rear-end collision case must do more than just prove that the plaintiff's vehicle was rear-ended. The lawyer must demonstrate to the jury how the collision occurred and what the rear-ending driver did wrong in order to obtain a finding of negligence. In most cases, expert testimony based on a relatively inexpensive analysis of the facts can be presented to explain why the rear-ending driver was at fault.
The law pertaining to these collisions is relatively clear and uniform throughout the country: A motorist has a duty to "exercise reasonable care to avoid a collision with the vehicle ahead."(1) The driver of a following vehicle must be able to stop or take other appropriate measures to prevent running into the preceding vehicle should it suddenly slow or stop. The driver of a following vehicle must stay back a reasonably safe distance to provide for this contingency and must travel at a speed consistent with an ability to stop within the distance between the two vehicles. The motorist must also maintain a proper lookout for the vehicle ahead in order to take appropriate measures to avoid a collision.(2)
Most states impose, by statute, a duty on drivers of following vehicles, requiring them to keep an "assured clear distance" between the following vehicle and the preceding one so that the following vehicle can be safely brought to a stop without colliding with the preceding vehicle or veering into other vehicles, objects, or people on or near the street or highway.(3) But there are no hard-and-fast rules as to how close a motorist, in the exercise of ordinary care, should follow another vehicle. The only rule governing the interval to be maintained between vehicles is that of reasonable care under the circumstances.(4)
The collision itself is some evidence of negligence on the part of a driver who strikes a car from the rear.(5) However, "the mere occurrence of a rear-end automobile accident is not evidence of negligence as a matter of law.(6)
A question of fact as to negligence is usually presented when a motor vehicle strikes one in front of it going in the same direction.(7) The plaintiff must prove specific acts of negligence by the following driver and must also prove proximate cause.(8)
Even though the mere occurrence of a rear-end collision is not evidence of negligence as a matter of law, the rear-ending driver was almost always negligent. This is so because that driver is required to maintain an assured clear distance between his or her vehicle and the one ahead. In most cases, the rear-ending motorist was either following too closely for the speed the vehicles were traveling, failed to keep a proper lookout, or failed to timely apply the brakes.
To prove negligence on the part of a rear-ending driver, at the time the lawsuit is filed the plaintiff's lawyer should begin by submitting requests for admissions like the following:
* On (date), the vehicle you were driving hit in the rear a car the plaintiff was driving.
* At the time of the wreck, there were no obstructions to your vision.
* You were traveling at a speed that would not allow you to bring your vehicle to a stop without hitting the plaintiff's car in the rear.
* You did not see the plaintiff's car in enough time to take sufficient action to avoid hitting it.
* There was not enough distance between your vehicle and the plaintiff's car to allow you to avoid hitting it.
* You did not apply your brakes before hitting the plaintiff's car.
* You did not apply your brakes in enough time to avoid hitting the plaintiff's car.
The last five requests encompass negligent acts on the part of a following driver that can cause a rear-end collision. In almost every case, one or more of these requests must be admitted by the defendant. If all are denied, the defendant will have difficulty explaining why the wreck happened.
For example, if the defendant denies traveling at a rate of speed that would not allow bringing the vehicle to a stop without hitting the plaintiff's car in the rear, the obvious question becomes why did he or she not stop. If the defendant denies seeing the plainfiff's car in enough time to take action to avoid a collision, why was a collision not avoided?
After the requests for admissions have been admitted or denied, the defendant's deposition should be taken. The defendant's deposition questions should be similar to the requests for admissions. Even when the requests for admissions have been formally denied, the defendant will often admit at deposition that one or more of them are true.
The defendant should be asked
* to elaborate on the facts surrounding each of the requests for admissions,
* to give die speed he or she was traveling immediately before the wreck, and
* to estimate the distance between his or her vehicle and the plaintiff's vehicle when he or she first perceived that a rear-end collision might occur.
These facts, along with the other facts, can then be used by an expert to explain why the defendant's negligence caused the wreck.
Stopping Distance
To demonstrate that a defendant was following too closely, the defendant's total stopping distance must be calculated. This distance is composed of three elements: the braking distance, the perception-time distance, and the reaction-time distance.
The braking distance is the minimum distance it takes to stop a vehicle traveling on a particular roadway at a specific speed. The distance is calculated by using the distance-to-stop formula:
distance to stop = [speed.sup.2]/30 x drag factor
This formula will reveal the minimum stopping distance after the brakes are applied on a vehicle equipped with passenger car tires. Whether the vehicle is equipped with antilock brakes makes no difference. Antilock brakes do not shorten the braking distance; they simply give a driver the continued ability to steer while braking.
To use the distance-to-stop formula in a rear-end collision case, one must assign a speed to the defendant's vehicle using either the speed testified to by the defendant or other testimony and evidence in the case. One need not be overly concerned about using the defendant's speed estimate in making these calculations. If defendants underestimate their speed, that will actually work against them because, as will be demonstrated later, their stopping distance will be reduced because of the lower speed.
The drag factor of the roadway involved must also be known to use this formula. The drag factor is the coefficient of friction plus or minus the grade of the roadway. The drag factor is expressed as a percentage of the weight of an object that is required to push it or pull it along a given surface.(9) The grade takes into account whether the object was going uphill or downhill. The drag factor is a mathematical expression of the ability of the road surface to stop an object sliding on it. The sticker the surface, the lower the drag factor and the greater the distance it takes to stop. The rougher the surface, the higher the drag factor and the less distance it takes to stop.(10)
Many publications give drag-factor ranges for various roadway surfaces, such as cement, asphalt, gravel, ice, and snow.(11) These ranges arc best used only to get a general idea of the drag factors that might be expected for each type of surface. These publications say, ice may have a drag factor as low as .10; new, dry concrete, drag factors as high as 1.00 or 1.20. Although these ranges may be useful for illustration purposes, the actual drag factor of a roadway where a collision occurred should be used when applying the distance-to-stop formula. The drag factor at the scene should be determined under the same conditions that existed at the time of the wreck. The drag factor cm vary greatly, even on the same roadway, depending on variable conditions like temperature and humidity.
An accident reconstruction expert can determine the drag factor of a roadway at any location. The actual drag factor can then be used in making the distance-to-stop calculations.
Once the defendant's speed has been determined and the drag factor obtained, the minimum braking distance can be calculated. For example, assume a defendant testified that he was traveling 55 mph down a freeway when the vehicle ahead of him suddenly came to a stop. Assume also that the freeway was made of sharp Portland cement and that the weather was hot and dry. The drag factor of the roadway was determined to be .75.
By using the distance-to-stop formula, the braking distance can be calculated as follows:
distance to stop = [speed.sup.2]/30 x drag factor
= [55.sup.2]/30 x .75
= 3025/22.5 distance to stop = 134 feet
Therefore, once the defendant's brakes were applied, it would take at least 134 feet to bring the vehicle to a complete stop without a collision.
Perception and Reaction Times
Besides the braking distance, the distance traveled during the driver's perception time and reaction time must be taken into account. "Perception time is defined as the interval between first possible sighting of the obstacle and accelerator release."(12) Stated simply, it is the time it takes a driver to perceive a danger and begin to react. It is widely accepted that perception time for the average driver is at least three-quarters of a second. Studies show that many variables affect perception time; the three-quarters of a second is a minimum. Some drivers, under some conditions, may have a perception time of up to 2 seconds or more.(13)
"Reaction time," also called response time, "is defined as the interval between release of the accelerator and contact with the brake pedal.(14) It is the time it takes a driver to react by applying the brakes after perceiving a danger. The reaction time of an average driver is three-quarters of a second, and many courts will take judicial notice of that fact as a matter of law.(15)
To compute the distance traveled during the defendant's perception time and reaction time, the speed the defendant was traveling must first be converted from miles per hour to feet per second. Miles per hour can be converted to feet per second by multiplying the miles per hour by 1.47. Therefore, to determine the feet per second traveled by a car going 55 mph, one must simply multiply 55 by 1.47, which equals 80.85.
To calculate the distance traveled during perception time, one must multiply the 80.85 feet traveled during one second by .75, the three-quarters of a second minimum perception time, which equals 66.64 feet. Thus, at 55 mph the defendant's vehicle traveled 60.64 feet during the time it took the defendant to perceive the danger.
The same calculations must again be made for the defendant's reaction time. Since the average reaction time is also three-quarters of a second, the vehicle traveled another 60.64 feet during the time it took the defendant to react after the danger was perceived. The combined distance the vehicle traveled during the defendant's perception time and reaction time was just over 121 feet.
The breaking distance of 134 feet in this example must be added to the perception-time and reaction-time distance calculated to be at least 121 feet, for a total stopping distance of at least 255 feet. That is the minimum distance it would take the defendant to stop without having a collision.
Zone of Danger
In the example above, the total stopping distance of 255 feet is the defendant's zone of danger. If any object becomes stationary within a vehicle's zone of danger, the vehicle cannot stop without colliding with that object unless the driver can steer around the object by turning to the right or left.
The faster the speed, the greater the zone of danger. This can be illustrated by comparing the zone of danger distances for vehicles traveling at different speeds.
When a stopped or slowly moving car is rear-ended, the collision occurred because the rear-ending driver either failed to keep a proper lookout or failed to apply the brakes until the car ahead was within the zone of danger.
When two vehicles arc traveling at the same speed and a rear-end collision occurs because the vehicle in front has to come to a stop, following too closely can also be a factor.
When two vehicles travel at the same speed, a dynamic situation exists. If the vehicles have to stop suddenly, both win come to a stop in the same number of feet once the brakes are applied because both vehicles have the same braking distances. The vehicle in front will continue to move forward and away from the rear vehicle while it is stopping.
But the driver of the car behind must perceive the danger and react to the braking of the car ahead. While the car in front is braking, the car in the rear continues to move forward for at least 1.5 seconds, the driver's combined perception and reaction time (P/R time).
Even if the driver of the rear car applies the brakes instantly after realizing the car in front is coming to a stop, his or her car will have traveled the driver's P/R time distance during that interval. Thus, the rear driver must keep more than his or her P/R time distance between his or her car and the car ahead to maintain an assured clear distance.
If the rear car is moving closer to the car ahead than the P/R distance, the rear driver is following too closely In the 55 mph example, the rear vehicle would have to be at least 121 feet behind the car ahead to maintain an assured clear distance.
Illustrations Help Jury
An illustration like the one that accompanies this article can help a jury visualize the zone-of-danger concept and understand the peril caused by following too closely. In an appropriate case, illustrations can be shown through computer animation so a jury can better understand how a particular rear-end collision occurred.
Whether a rear-ending driver was at fault should not be left to speculation and surmise. With a little effort an minimal discovery, the negligence of a driver can easily be demonstrated to a jury. Through a simple scientific analysis of the facts, a jury can come to understand exactly what the driver did wrong and how that driver was negligent in causing a collision.

Cape Town welcomes two sporting veterans in Shane Warne and Ollie le Roux this weekend. Both are (literally) bigger than their sport, and both are equally dismissive of the local sides.
Whilst Warne gets stuck into Graeme Smith, Mickey Arthur and anyone else wearing green to anyone who will listen, Le Roux has given Kobus van der Merwe's Stormers a slightly more subtle rev.
"The Bulls have had a bit of a hiccup against the Brumbies, but are otherwise strong. The Sharks are showing a lot of guts and fire, and in my opinion the Cats are getting one or two things wrong but will recover and with Andre Pretorius at 10 record a few wins at home. The only team that really doesn't look right is the Stormers," Le Roux told keo.co.za.
Renowned for his pre-match banter, Le Roux stated that a lack of leadership on the field is the major reason for the Stormers' underachievement thus far this year.
"Look I'm sure they're working hard and it is a hard tournament. There's one or two things that jump out at me, and after every loss they're losing confidence which is always dangerous. They do seem to lack leadership though. De Wet Barry has not impressed as captain and that's maybe why he finds himself on the bench."
Jean de Villiers, a favourite of Le Roux, captains the Cape side in Barry's stead.
"We'll see how he goes as skipper," Le Roux smiles. "I wish him the best of luck."
Whilst the Cape side's desperation for a home win ahead of their away trip is tangible, the Cheetahs are also regarding the fixture as a must-win after slipping up at home to the Bulls and Highlanders.
Despite their two previous victories at Newlands, Le Roux is emphatic that history means nothing.
"It's not a bonus for us that we've won their on our last two visits. We can't bargain or bank on that bullshit. We have to go out there and perform, it's that simple. We do know what it takes to win there, and it's balls to the wall all the way."
