Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House at Barnsdall Park February 13, 2015
Los Angeles, CA, January, 22, 2015 – Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), the Department of Recreation and Parks, Project Restore, Public Works – Bureau of Engineering, the Department of General Services, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation announce February 13, 2015 as the official reopening of Frank Lloyd Wright's famed Hollyhock House, an iconic architectural masterpiece in the heart of the vibrant, artistic, cultural, and recreational Barnsdall Art Park (http://www.barnsdall.org/visit/hollyhock-house/). To mark the occasion, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell will lead an Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with the project's collaborators at 4:00 p.m. at the Hollyhock House on February 13, 2015. Following this, for one night only, the City of Los Angeles and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation will open Hollyhock House for self-guided tours for 24 hours, commencing at 4:00 p.m. on February 13 until 4:00 p.m. on February 14, 2015. Visitors are invited to enjoy the event and share with others via social media with the #WrightAtNight hashtag.
A significant part of Los Angeles' storied architectural history, Hollyhock House – a National Historic Landmark – was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's magnificent masterpieces marking his first foray into architecture in Los Angeles. Hollyhock House boasts a lyrical and poetic style of architecture "California Romanza," or "freedom to make one's own form," which complements LA's significance as a trendsetter in the arts and architecture space. Underscoring its importance as one of the world's architectural gems, Hollyhock House is now on the tentative list of the first modern architecture nominations from the United States to the United Nation's Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House is a crown jewel of Los Angeles architecture," said Mayor Garcetti. "Restoring this landmark to its original glory is a great example of how the city can preserve its unique history while providing Angelenos access to art in everyday places."
"The Hollyhock House at Barnsdall Art Park is a cultural and historical gem in the City of Los Angeles, and I am thrilled that this architectural masterpiece is restored and ready to reopen," said O'Farrell, chair of the city's Arts, Parks, Health, Aging and Los Angeles River Committee. "I want to thank my staff and the city departments who collaborated together and moved this project forward so that every Angeleno who visits the Hollyhock House can appreciate its beauty both inside and out."
The storied history of Hollyhock House begins with Aline Barnsdall, a Pennsylvanian oil heiress interested in producing theater in her own venue. Purchasing a 36-acre site in Hollywood known as Olive Hill in 1919, Barnsdall commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build a theater where she could produce avant-garde plays. Soon after, the project morphed into a performing arts complex that included her residence. Construction on the project began in 1919 and ended in 1921 when Barnsdall fired Wright, citing costs as the primary reason for the contract's termination. At the time, Frank Lloyd Wright was already an established architect, who was concurrently working on the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.
A philanthropist, art collector, political radical, and single parent, Barnsdall deeded the land now known as Barnsdall Park and its Frank Lloyd Wright designed structures as a permanent home for the appreciation of art and architecture to the City of Los Angeles in 1927. In doing so, she provided an accessible arts center to the community that incorporated and preserved the famous Hollyhock House as a crucial component. Aline Barnsdall's pioneering vision gave birth to the California Modernism movement and helped grow the careers of notable architects including Wright, Schindler, and Neutra – all of whom were instrumentally involved in the project.
The house has served various purposes, including a fifteen-year run as the headquarters of the California Art Club beginning in 1927. After a major restoration by the City (1974 – 76) it became a public museum. It was among the first structures to be designated as a historic-cultural monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in 1963. In 2007 it became a National Historic Landmark.
After many incarnations, Hollyhock House is reclaiming its former glory. Hollyhock House is the first house of Wright's second period and his first residence in Southern California. Named for Barnsdall's favorite flower, the Hollyhock is incorporated throughout the design scheme of the residence.
The recently completed restoration is an important historical revelation for first-time visitors and regulars alike. Visitors will be able to see and experience the house in much of its original splendor. Floors, windows, doors, decorative molding, and long-forgotten paint colors have been recreated with utmost attention to detail. The latest phase of renovation took place from 2008 though 2014, with a total of $4,359,000 spent on conservation efforts.
Hollyhock House is operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA).
DCA provides educational programming, conservation services, and individual and group tours of this historic site that offer a window into Aline Barnsdall's life and her artistic vision, in addition to her extraordinary partnership with one of the United States' greatest architects.
After it reopens on February 13, 2015, Hollyhock House will feature self-guided "Walk Wright In" tours on Thursdays through Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a fee of $7 for adults, $3 for students and seniors with identification, and $3 for children under 12 when accompanied by a paying adult. Special arrangements may be made for docent-led tours, group tours, guided tours, and other engagements by calling 323.913.4031.

Robert Williams: SLANG Aesthetics!
and 20 Years Under the Influence of Juxtapoz
Guest Curators: Andrew Hosner (Thinkspace) & Gary Pressman (Copro Gallery)
Exhibition Opens Sunday, February 22nd – April 19th, 2015
(Los Angeles) – The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery and Juxtapoz magazine are pleased to present new works by Robert Williams in SLANG Aesthetics! in conjunction with 20 Years Under the Influence of Juxtapoz, a group exhibition by guest curators Andrew Hosner of Thinkspace Gallery and Gary Pressman of Copro Gallery. Both exhibitions will be on view at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery from February 22nd to April 19th, 2015. These two exhibitions commemorate the 20th anniversary of Juxtapoz magazine, founded by Williams in 1994, and it's vast influence on several generations of artists.
Robert Williams is widely upheld as the godfather of the low brow and pop surrealist art movements, and with as much frequency denigrated as an irreverent iconoclast among the arbiters of "high" art. As both patriarch and outlaw, Williams' enduring influence on the New Contemporary movement is undeniable. A true maverick who sought to create vital work that channeled the shifting energies and immediacy of counterculture, from the 60's onward, Williams' paintings invoked a return to craftsmanship, figuration and demotic imagery that rejected the elitist tenets of conceptual minimalism. In 1994 Williams founded Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine and created a platform for this young and insurgent energy on the West Coast; a publication that was dedicated to the underground and to its cultural mutineers. Williams, a self described Conceptual Realist, continues to create artworks that elicit a response and offer an opinion. Relying on concrete, and relatable, imagery to invoke ideas and concepts, rather than on the non-comital spasms of abstraction, his work continues to cut, seethe, confront and move. Not for the faint of heart, Williams speaks an unruly truth that captures the dark, the beautiful and the appalling tenor of our modern world. SLANG! Aesthetics is Robert Williams' first major body of work to debut in Los Angeles in well over a decade, and will feature 25 new oil paintings by the artist alongside a suite of drawings, and a series of large-scale sculptures fabricated with the assistance of Gentle Giant Studios.
In conjunction with Williams' new exhibition of work, 20 Years Under the Influence of Juxtapoz celebrates the publication's 20th anniversary. What once began as an alternative magazine, Juxtapoz is now the most widely disseminated art publication in the world. Predicated on the rejection of the artificial boundaries that consecrated "high", Juxtapoz effectively broke down walls to allow young artists a chance at their own history. It is also an ideal that attests to the power of making accessible art about shared cultural experiences, identities and aesthetics. The magazine has helped to define and bring to light one of the most exciting art movements of our time, an incipient movement in 1994 that has now, finally 20 years later, begun to infiltrate the mainstream art markets and institutions from which it had once been excluded. It is also a movement with a massive fan following that attests to the power, and relevance, of making accessible art about shared cultural experiences, identities and aesthetics. The artists featured in this exhibition have been chosen based for their impact on the movement, and on how they themselves have been motivated by such an abundance of inspiration. With access to this imagery and community, new and multifaceted generations of artists continue to emerge from the ranks. Avenues made possible by Juxtapoz, through its wide variety of featured media and expressions, have shaped this aesthetic and preserves its trajectory as far as the imagination will allow.
This exhibition is sponsored in part by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. The LAMAG is located within the beautiful Barnsdall Park at 4800 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. To contact the gallery please call 323.644.6269. Gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday from Noon to 5PM. For special tours and school groups, please contact Marta Feinstein at firstname.lastname@example.com or to arrange special adult tours, please contact Gabe Cifarelli at firstname.lastname@example.com – visit LAMAG on the web at www.lamag.org

Sorry Daily News: The Dodgers aren't trying to "make amends" with their Brooklyn throwback uniforms
Feb 9, 2011, 10:30 AM EDT
Via Jon Weisman over at Dodger Thoughts comes the most inane headline we've seen in a while. It's from the New York Daily News, a paper that seems to think that anyone outside of Brooklyn — let alone anyone inside the Dodgers organization — cares a lick about what people in New York think about the Dodgers going to Los Angeles over half a century ago:
While I suppose there are a lot of people who still wish the Dodgers had stayed in Brooklyn, there are probably only, like, 11 old angry dudes there who actually expect some sort of gesture or apology from the Dodgers over it all. It's been 54 years. Murderers are let out of jail after less time than that. Anyone expecting the Dodgers to "make amends" at this point probably has some issues he needs to address. And if the Daily News actually realizes this but is simply trying to stir the pot, it should probably realize that there's nothin' in the pot. Rabble-rousing is kind of pointless when there's no rabble.
The Dodgers aren't trying to "make amends" with their throwback uniforms. They're trying to make some money. I can all but guarantee you that the feelings of some ancient grudge-holding Brooklyn Dodger die-hards was not a part of the calculus.

And I want my Minneapolis Lakers back…

Anybody from Philadelphia want the A's back? Because now's an excellent time to inquire.

Think there are people in Baltimore who want the Yankees back?
- fribnit - Feb 9, 2011 at 11:21 AM
Only the oldest of Dodger fans even remember the team being in Brooklyn and they have long ago given up the idea of amends being made.
They have moved on to being Mets fans (poor souls) or retired to a sunny state where they now root for the Marlins or Diamondbacks.
The Daily News hasn't been much more than something to line your parrots cage with in a very long time.
- florida76 - Feb 9, 2011 at 1:26 PM
The LA Dodgers are simply paying homage to the past, so I see nothing wrong with a throwback Dodgers uniform. No amends are needed for Brooklyn, when a franchise relocates, a new history is automatically written in the new city. While the old Brooklyn Dodgers had hall of famers, including Jackie Robinson, they only accounted for a single world title. We have to remember that was about a half century ago, and sports teams aren't like McDonald restaurants.
By contrast, the LA Dodgers have won five times as many world titles, and have hall of famers more familiar to the fans of Los Angeles.

New from the Kansas City Star and Omaha World-Herald: "Sacramento Kings better not go back to baby blue and red!"
- PanchoHerreraFanClub - Feb 9, 2011 at 6:32 PM
When the Dodgers left Brooklyn they took the heart out of the city. There is no way to make amends for that certainly not wearing throwback uniforms in another city. The only revenge the Brooklyn fans get is that moving to LA probably costs the Dodger fanchise several hundred million dollars every year.

(Saturday, November 5th)
Final Score: Rutgers 20, South Florida 17
Piscataway, N.J. (Sports Network) - San San Te hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime as Rutgers rallied past South Florida 20-17 at High Point Solutions Stadium.
Rutgers (6-3,3-2 Big East) only registered 228 yards of total offense, but scored two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to overcome a 14-point deficit and send the contest into overtime. Chas Dodd finished 11-of-17 for 125 yards with one touchdown and one interception for the Scarlet Knights, and Mohamed Sanu added 11 catches for 113 yards.
South Florida (4-4,0-4) had a chance to win the game in the closing seconds of regulation, but Maikon Bonani's 27-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left as time expired. B.J. Daniels led the Bulls with 160 yards passing and one touchdown, and added 64 yards rushing on 15 attempts. Darrell Scott ran for 100 yards on 19 carries.
After a scoreless first quarter, Daniels hit Victor Marc for a 23-yard touchdown pass to make it 7-0 at the 6:11 mark of the second quarter. Bonani added a 43-yard field goal with 36 seconds left before halftime.
Te made it a one possession game at the 7:20 mark of the third quarter, connecting on a 33-yard field goal.
South Florida extended its lead to 17-3 with just under eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, after Demetri Murray rushed for a four-yard touchdown run that capped a 13-play, 89-yard touchdown drive.
Rutgers got a spark on the ensuing kickoff, as Jeremy Deering returned the kick 98 yards for a touchdown. Dodd orchestrated a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive in the final three minutes, capping the march by finding Brandon Coleman on a 34-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 17 with 1:08 remaining.
On the ensuing possession, Daniels threw three straight incompletions and South Florida chewed up just 20 seconds off the clock. Rutgers took over following a Bulls' punt, but Dodd was intercepted at the South Florida 26-yard line two plays later, giving Daniels and company one more opportunity with 41 seconds left.
Daniels hit Murray for a 34-yard gain on the drive's first play, then rushed for another 30 yards down to the Rutgers 10-yard line on the following play. That set up a short-field goal try for Bonani, but the kicker missed left as regulation time expired.
On the first possession of overtime, Daniels was intercepted by Damon Huron on a third-and-eight call. That set up Te's game-winning field goal, which gave Rutgers its third fourth quarter come-from-behind win this season.

Shawn Thornton out for Bruins, Michael Ryder and Steven Kampfer make return to lineup
|03.31.11 at 12:11 pm ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton, who recieved around 40 stitches for a gash above his right eye after being cut by a skate in Tuesday's game, is not medically cleared to return to the lineup and will not play Thursday against the Maple Leafs. Coach Claude Julien said the forward is considered day-to-day. In Thornton's place, Michael Ryder will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last two games.
Thornton participated in the morning skate wearing a helmet with a shield. Tuesday will be the first game Thornton has missed all season, leaving Zdeno Chara, Mark Recchi and Dennis Seidenberg as the only Bruins to play in each game this season.
Thornton's absence isn't the only lineup change for the B's Thursday. Rookie defenseman Steven Kampfer, who has not played since March 17 in Nashville, will play in place of Johnny Boychuk as part of Julien's plan to keep everybody fresh for the playoffs. Julien suggested that Shane Hnidy, who has not played an NHL game this season, could play Saturday

|A fine and rare French Paris porcelain three-piece garniture, or table setting, with polychrome and raised decorations, circa 1820-1830 The centerpiece of this table setting has sculptures featuring two women, with wings, and dressed in diaphanous Neo-classical gowns and utilized as columns or pillars, supporting the central basket. This architectural element, referred to as a Caryatid, was first used by the ancient Greeks in temples of the highest order, are were considered to be the principle source of all architecture, including those seen in modern times. A caryatid supporting a basket on her head is called a basket-bearer, representing one of the maidens who carried sacred objects used at the feasts of the goddesses Artemis and Athena. The origin of the name Caryatid is still a matter of some debate, but it is known that the female figures of the Erechtheion, represented the punishment of the women of a town near Sparta who were condemned to slavery after misleading Athens by siding with Persia in the Greco-Roman wars. They both are shown slavishly kneeling down, and support a central oblong boat-shaped porcelain basket, made to hold various tropical fruits, that is pierced on its sides which aided in the circulation of air around fresh fruit; a luxury at a time when rooms were not yet air-conditioned. Fruit was seasonal, and having it served after a fine meal, with many delightful courses, was a sign of affluence and refinement, as fresh fruit was seasonal,and required delicate care to preserve it. The affiliation of Caryatids with slavery persisted from Greco-Roman times through the period in Europe termed as the Renaissance, around 1400 A.D. when every kind of artistic expression consumed the population, in the form of paintings, drawings, architecture, sculpture, philosophy, literature, and music, etc.. The two flanking pieces essentially share the same design, but are supported by a single female, with wings, all doubtlessly based on Erectheion caryatids, who symbolized one of the maidens who carried sacred commodities used at the feasts of the goddesses Athena and Artemis. The four figures themselves are all kneeling, as if in a ceremonial presentation pose, and are made of bisque, which is simply unglazed porcelain, while the baskets themselves are porcelain. All three pieces have bases that are enhanced with a rich gilt, with raised rosettes and polychrome decorations with a peach and cream colored ground, featuring flowers. The bases of each reflects the basket form it supports, each of which is supported by lion's paw feet, with winged returns. CONDITION: Immaculate, with only minimal and expected wear due to age. No breaks, cracks, or chips. The steel rods joining the pieces are original. Provenance: A French collector, Paris, France. Height: The central basket is 12 1/2". The two side baskets stand 11 3/4" in height.

Editor's note: Projected to cover a record 65 million Americans in 2014--and as many as 1 in 4 by 2020--Medicaid will play a significant role in shaping the strategies and plans of all healthcare stakeholders in the years ahead. Recognizing the importance of a growing and changing Medicaid in shaping the new healthcare environment, the Medicaid team at Manatt will be producing a series of briefs—Manatt on Medicaid—throughout the year. The third edition, summarized below, focuses on Pennsylvania's waiver application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requesting approval to move forward with ACA Medicaid Expansion. Click here to read the full brief.
On February 19, 2014, Pennsylvania submitted to CMS an application requesting approval under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to implement the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion effective January 1, 2015.
Under the Healthy Pennsylvania Private Coverage Option (Healthy Pennsylvania), individuals in the new adult group, so long as they are not medically frail, would be covered through premium assistance for private insurance—either Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace) or employer-sponsored coverage. The key features of the Healthy Pennsylvania program include the following:
Similarities and Differences with Iowa and Arkansas
The Healthy Pennsylvania demonstration proposal marks the third expansion waiver (Arkansas and Iowa are the others) to use premium assistance to purchase QHP coverage for individuals in the new adult group. Like Arkansas, Pennsylvania intends to buy QHP coverage for all new adults except those who are medically frail. By contrast, Iowa is using QHP premium assistance only for new adults with incomes above 100% of the FPL.
There are, however, important differences between Pennsylvania's proposed program and those CMS approved for Iowa and Arkansas. For instance, Pennsylvania's program:
All in all, Pennsylvania requests significantly more waivers of federal requirements (24 in total) as compared to the Arkansas and Iowa waivers. Given the number of waivers Pennsylvania seeks and its request for several waiver authorities CMS has not previously granted, states and other stakeholders will be closely watching Pennsylvania's expansion demonstration.

Gear Question
Has anyone ever tried using multiple Addons...
Has anyone ever tried using multiple Addons at once? Like they Crampon Addon, with the Daypack Addon?
Pat Gunning
I haven't tried it but if you watch the video below you will find that they both attach the same way so there wouldn't be room for both if them. The only way I think it would be possible is if the daylite had the addon loops and you attached the crampon pack to that. You could try it but I highly doubt it would work

CFN 2007 Pre-Preseason Rankings 26 to 119

It's time to start looking ahead to the 2007 season with Pre-Preseason Rankings of what appear to be the 26th through the 119th best teams.
2007 CFN Pre-Preseason Rankings - No. 1 to 25
26. South Florida
2006 Record:
The program proved it could hang with the big boys last year, and now it'll make its big move with QB Matt Grothe leading an experienced offense that gets the entire line back. The defense takes a bit hit at linebacker losing Stephan Nicholas and Pat St. Louis, but eight starters return. Now the team will have to learn how to deal with expectations.
2006 Record:
The Jake Christensen era gets rolling in what should be a bounceback season. The losses on the offensive line might make things difficult early on, but just about everyone returns on defense including LB Mike Klinkenborg and DE
Ken Iwebema, who'll be back from a shoulder injury. Also returning is head coach Kirk Ferentz, who was on everyone's NFL hot list.
2006 Record:
The team's overall production might not slip under Steve Kragthorpe, but there won't be the same offensive explosion. The passing game will still be light's out, and Anthony Allen and George Stripling will keep the running game going, but most of the defensive stars are gone hurt most by the loss of DT Amobi Okoye and CB William Gay.
29. Miami
2006 Record:
Randy Shannon will certainly have the defense humming, but can he get the offense going? The quarterback situation will be the biggest issue, while getting even more out of the offensive line and the ground attack, led by Javarris James, will be a must. The secondary might be the best in America.
30. Missouri
2006 Record:
The Tigers might have finished last year on a major down note, but the 2007 version should be fantastic with QB Chase Daniel and all the top offensive players back. The big concern will be in the linebacking corps losing Dedrick Harrington and Marcus Bacon.
31. Maryland
2006 Record:
Maryland was a better team than it got credit for last year, and now it should get some recognition with nine starters returning on offense and seven on defense. QB Jordan Steffy needs to be a competent replacement for Sam Hollenbach, but the offense will revolve around Lance Ball, Keon Lattimore and the running game.
2006 Record:
One of the strangest teams to figure out after last year's collapse, the Tigers might have the best running back tandem in America in James Davis and C.J. Spiller, but they lose a bulk of the offensive line and QB Will Proctor. DE Gaines Adams is gone, along with corners C.J. Gaddis and Duane Coleman, but everyone else returns.
Oklahoma State
2006 Record:
A young, talented, erratic team in 2006, this will be an experienced, talented, erratic team this year. The return of WR Adarius Bowman, who should probably be off to the NFL, is a huge boost to help emerging star QB Bobby Reid. The defensive line is gone, but the back seven returns. Expect shootout after shootout.
34. South Carolina
2006 Record:
Is this the year the Gamecocks finally turn the corner under Steve Spurrier? It's certainly possible with the entire defensive front seven coming back. The offense might be a bit of an issue needing to replace star receiver Sidney Rice, who left early for the NFL, along with three key offensive linemen.
Notre Dame
2006 Record:
Is Jimmy Clausen going to get the starting quarterback job right off the bat? Charlie Weis will always get production out of the offense, but it might take a while with eight starters gone including RB Darius Walker, who left early for the NFL. For good and bad, the defense also needs an overhaul.
36. Hawaii
2006 Record:
Oh this will be interesting. The defense might still be porous, but it'll be experienced. All it'll have to do is keep teams under 40 and everything should be fine even without Colt Brennan since all the top receivers are returning. Two problems. The losses on the offensive line will hurt, and big RB Nate Ilaoa, the unsung playmaker on the offense, is gone.
37. Boise State
2006 Record:
The Broncos aren't way too low; everyone else will just be a lot better. While BSU will still be the favorite for the WAC title, losing QB Jared Zabransky, the top receivers, LB Korey Hall, and three starters off the defensive line will be just enough to knock the team down a peg.
38. Kentucky
2006 Record:
The return of QB Andre Woodson, WR Keenan Burton and RB Rafael Little means the offense should be even more dynamic than it was at the end of the year, but the defense, which was among the worst in America throughout last year, needs to make a dramatic improvement in all areas. Teams won't take the Cats lightly this year.
39. Arizona State
2006 Record:
There's certainly talent for Dennis Erickson to work with led by QB Rudy Carpenter and running backs Keegan Herring and Ryan Torian. Ten offensive starters return from the Hawaii Bowl team only losing TE Zach Miller early to the NFL. The defense is a different story with several holes to patch, but it might get oft-injured DE Loren Howard for another year.
40. Texas Tech
2006 Record:
You always know what you're getting out of Texas Tech. Expect another up-and-down year with all the top receivers and four starting offensive linemen gone. The defensive front has some work to do.
41. Alabama
2006 Record:
Nick Saban isn't walking into a bare cupboard. The offensive line has the potential to be a major strength in time, while the passing game could be fantastic. The defense loses plenty of playmakers, but the pass rush should be solid.
42. Kansas State
2006 Record:
Ron Prince was tremendous in his first season, and playing all the young stars should pay off in a big way with QB Josh Freeman and RB Leon Patton leading a potentially dangerous offense. DE Ian Campbell is one of the nation's best, and he'll have to be even better than 2006 with several starters gone off a decent D.
43. Oregon
2006 Record:
Experience won't be an issue on either side of the ball, and now the production has to follow. Settling the quarterback situation between Brady Leaf and Dennis Dixon right away will be key, while keeping RB Jonathan Stewart healthy is a must. Jaison Williams is the best receiver you've never heard of.
44. Cincinnati
2006 Record:
New head coach Brian Kelly has already won a game with the team, and he should win a lot more in 2007 with most of the key parts returning. As long as the quarterback situation is settled right off the bat, this will be the big sleeper in the Big East. Only three starters are gone off the defense.
Washington State
2006 Record:
Can the Cougars avoid yet another disappointing season? It has the pieces to do it with QB Alex Brink, RB Dwight Tardy and several good receivers returning. The defense has work to do needing to replace DE Mkristo Bruce and linebackers Scott Davis and Steve Dildine.
46. Minnesota
2006 Record:
The cupboard is hardly bare in the post-Glen Mason era with Amir Pinnix certain to have a big season behind a veteran offensive line. The defense might have stunk, but it should be better with ten starters returning. Tony Mortensen is a big, capable replacement for Bryan Cupito.
47. Utah
2006 Record:
TCU will be the Mountain West favorite, but the Utes might not be far behind. The return of QB Brian Johnson should make the offense sing, and he'll need to with mega-changes being made on a defense without most of the defensive line and do everything All-American Eric Weddle.
2006 Record:
Will the team finally turn a corner and get to a bowl under head coach Mike Stoops? QB Willie Tuitama has to stay healthy for a full season, and he should get better protection with several experienced linemen returning. The return of star CB Antoine Cason, who should probably be off playing in the NFL, means ten starters return to a defense that should be as nasty as any in the Pac 10 outside of USC.
2006 Record:
Last year's too-young team is now a veteran group with nine returning starts on offense and nine back on D including the entire defensive front seven. The more consistent QB Jameel Sewell is early on, the better. Experience has to turn into production on the offensive line.
50. Colorado
2006 Record:
Dan Hawkins is way too good a head coach to let
happen again. It's not going to be a worst-to-first year, but if QB Bernard Jackson can get the passing game going a bit better, and if the defense can play up to the level it did throughout most of 2006, expect a night-and-day difference.
Wake Forest
2006 Record:
Fine, this is way too low for the defending ACC champions, but the rest of the league is far better this year. QB Riley Skinner is back along with even other starters, but losing the top two receivers and OT Steve Vallos is bigger than you might think. Three defensive backs are gone along with LB Jon Abbate.
2006 Record:
The team's not going to fall off the map, but it's not going to be nearly as good without QB John Beck, top TE Jonny Harline, and RB Curtis Brown. The Cougars will win with defense early until the new offensive stars get their feet wet.
53. Purdue
2006 Record:
Is this the year Purdue finally decides to play defense? Curtis Painter and the best Big Ten's best receiving corps (yes, better than Michigan's) should light most teams up like a Christmas tree, but it'll all go for naught if the D doesn't make a big turnaround.
54. Washington
2006 Record:
The future is now for Ty Willingham and his Huskies as QB Jake Locker, the team's top recruit of a few years ago, is the number one man going into spring ball. Other star recruit, RB J.R. Hasty, has to get back in the mix after being academically ineligible last year. The defensive back seven is decimated by losses, but the line should be a strength.
Southern Miss
2006 Record:
RB Damion Fletcher might have all-star potential, but he might have a tough time early with three starters lost off the line. QB Jeremy Young might make the passing game better. Eight starters return to a defense that should be better than 2006.
2006 Record:
Is Pitt finally going to turn the corner under Dave Wannstedt? The loss of QB Tyler Palko might mean the running game will carry the offense for a while, but the defense could be the downfall after the loss of LB H.B. Blades and CB Darrelle Revis. The defensive line will be the strength early on.
2006 Record:
Who's the starting quarterback going to be? It might be Kerry Meier, but he'll have to battle. Whoever it is will have more responsibility with RB Jon Cornish gone. CB
Aqib Talib leads a decent defense that'll have to be more consistent.
2006 Record:
Can someone say 2006 Wake Forest? Fine, so the SEC is too good to let that happen, but junior-to-be QB Chris Nickson and WR Earl Bennett will keep defensive coordinators up at night, while LB Jonathan Goff leads what should be an improved defense.
Mississippi State
2006 Record:
The record might not have showed it, but MSU played extremely well over the second half of the year with three losses by three points. The defense takes a big hit, but if QB Michael Henig can return healthy and effective, the offense should be far better. RB Anthony Dixon is a keeper.
60. Michigan State
2006 Record:
How quickly can Mark Dantonio turn the overall attitude around? Brian Hoyer takes over for Drew Stanton, but the offense should revolve early on around the running game and a veteran offensive line. The defense will certainly be stronger under the new coaching staff.
2006 Record:
Ron Zook recruited well since he came to Champaign and threw many of the young talents into the fire. QB Juice Williams is one of the Big Ten's most exciting young talents with a good receiving corps to work with. The defense was far better than it got credit for, and it gets just about everyone back led by tackling machine LB J Leman.
NC State
2006 Record:
If nothing else, new head man Tom O'Brien will get the team playing more consistently. If QB Daniel Evans is as strong for the first 58 minutes as he is in the final two, the offense will roll. The backfield will be the focus of the attack until the passing game can be steady. The defense suffers huge losses in the back seven.
63. Ole Miss
2006 Record:
Ed Orgeron needs results and he needs them this year. With the exception of Patrick Willis, just about everyone returns with the secondary the one main concern losing three starters. Getting the quarterback situation settled between Brent Schaeffer and Seth Adams will be the key early.
64. Houston
2006 Record:
You don't replace a QB Kevin Kolb, but Blake Joseph will try. Home run hitting RB Anthony Alridge will get the ball in his hands more, while receivers Jeron Harvey and Donnie Avery should keep the passing game going. Seven starters return on defense led by LB Cody Lubojasky.
65. Navy
2006 Record:
Is this the year things finally slow down for the Midshipmen? Probably not with the entire backfield returning. The biggest offensive loss will likely be WR Jason Tomlinson. The problem? The defensive front seven loses six starters including tackling machines Rob Caldwell and Tyler Tidwell. Two defensive backs need to be replaced.
66. Northwestern
2006 Record:
Is this the Big Ten's big sleeper? Year two under Pat Fitzgerald should be far better if the strides made at the end of 2006 carry over. Tyrell Sutton is one of the Big Ten's best backs, while QB C.J. Bacher now has experience and knows what he's doing. Ten starters return on defense.
67. Marshall
2006 Record:
RB Ahmad Bradshaw leaving early for the NFL at the last second hurt. Bernard Morris should now have the starting quarterback job all to himself with almost the entire receiving corps to work with. DE Albert McClellan should make several preseason All-America teams.
68. Connecticut
2006 Record:
After things fell off the map in 2006, Randy Edsall's club needs more production out its quarterbacks while the defense needs to find something that works. Eight starters return on D, but the tackles need to be replaced. Donald Brown is one of the Big East's top returning backs.
North Carolina
2006 Record:
Butch Davis won't make the Tar Heels an ACC powerhouse overnight, but he has plenty of players to work with on offense. QB Cam Sexton needs to shine right at away, while Barrington Edwards has to be a workhorse runner. The defense, which didn't stop anyone last year, replaces a ton of experience.
70. Wyoming
2006 Record:
Sophomore QB Karsten Sween appears to be the franchise player the offense will build around. The offense needs the line to be more productive, but it'll have to do so with three new offensive linemen.
2006 Record:
QB Jeff Rowe might be gone, but RB Luke Lippincott should be in for a big year behind a decent offensive line. LB Ezra Butler leads a promising defense that should be strong against the run.
72. Tulsa
2006 Record:
New head coach Todd Graham was a good replacement for Steve Kragthorpe, but he'll have some work to do after losing seven offensive starters and several key defenders. QB Paul Smith needs to be a consistent, steady playmaker until everyone gets their feet wet.
73. Indiana
2006 Record:
Kellen Lewis to James Hardy might be the Big Ten's most productive pass-catch combinations. The defense won't ever stop anyone and the offense needs several new linemen to step up into starting roles.
New Mexico
2006 Record:
If nothing else, the quarterback situation should be interesting with Kole McKamey returning and Donovan Porterie the future star. Everyone is back on defense except Quincy Black, while almost all the key parts, highlighted by RB Rodney Ferguson, return on offense.
75. Stanford
2006 Record:
Step one for Jim Harbaugh will be to get the quarterback situation settled hoping Tavita Pritchard can be the main man. Step two will be to hope everyone can stay healthy. Offensive production has to be found right off the bat, while the defense has to find replacements for the starting safeties and top playmaking linebacker Michael Okwo.
San Jose State
2006 Record:
Dick Tomey has worked wonders, and he should have his best team yet. LB Matt Castelo is a near-lock for All-WAC honors while the offense should be more productive with veteran QB Adam Tafralis and RB Yonus Davis.
77. Syracuse
2006 Record:
Greg Robinson's team needs some offense in a big way. The return of WR Taj Smith from a collarbone injury, and the expected emergence of Curtis Brinkley as a featured back, should help. The defense loses tackling machine Kelvin Smith, but has plenty of experience to build around.
78. Central Michigan
2006 Record:
CMU should still be the toast of the MAC even with head coach Brian Kelly off to Cincinnati. QB Dan LeFevour leads an explosive offense, while the defense should be solid even after losing top ends Dan Bazuin and Mike Ogle.
2006 Record:
QB Justin Willis is a franchise star to build the offense around, but he'll have to find some new targets to work with. RB DeMyron Martin will provide a nice balance working behind a veteran line. The defense takes the biggest hit on the line, but the linebacking corps should be solid.
80. Western Michigan
2006 Record:
The return of Tim Hiller from a knee injury should spark the offense, while the sophomore-filled defense of last year should be dominant at times despite the loss of Ameer Ismail.
Fresno State
2006 Record:
2006 might have been a big fluke. The offense has the potential to be great if QB Tom Brandstater can live up to his potential, but the loss of RB Dwayne Wright takes away the team's safety net.
2006 Record:
Without the pitch-catch combination of Jordan Palmer to Johnnie Lee Higgins to rely on, expect RB Marcus Thomas to carry the offense for a while. The defense is the real issue losing eight starter including the entire front line.
83. East Carolina
2006 Record:
The offense has to go on without QB James Pinkney, RB Brandon Fractious and top receiver Aundrae Allison, but the line returns intact. The defense has to start from almost scratch in the secondary, while the entire front seven returns.
Iowa State
2006 Record:
A combination of a nasty schedule and disappointing performances meant the end of the Dan McCarney era. Gene Chizik has plenty of work to do needing to replace four starters on the offensive line along with a few top offensive weapons. On the plus side, if Chizik can work his magic, the defense should be far better with everyone returning in the back seven.
2006 Record:
Really, the team wasn't
bad last year despite going winless. QB Thaddeus Lewis is a potentially dangerous playmaker leading an offense with everyone returning. The graduation of CB John Talley and linebackers Codey Lowe and Jeramy Edwards will hurt.
2006 Record:
2006 was supposed to be the year with QB Shawn Bell leading a strong passing attack. Now he's gone along with receivers Trent Shelton and Dominique Ziegler, while the defense has just enough big losses to expect another losing year.
Colorado State
2006 Record:
Will the return of RB Kyle Bell from a knee injury make all the difference after a seven-game losing streak to end the year? The program's slide can quickly stop if the running game finally gets going and the defense improves just a bit.
Kent State
2006 Record:
So close to big things in 2006, the Golden Flashes should turn the corner this year with QB Julian Edelman leading a potentially dominant offense. They should be among the MAC contenders all year long.
89. Toledo
2006 Record:
The program has been too good to be down for long. The quarterback situation needs to be settled right off the bat, and the offensive line has to jell in a big hurry.
Northern Illinois
2006 Record:
Will this finally be the year the Huskies get their elusive MAC title under Joe Novak? Probably not. Expect a setback before the team roars back in 2008. The defense needs too much help, while there's no replacing Garrett Wolfe.
2006 Record:
Will this be the surprise team in the league, like it was in 2005, or a supreme disappointment, like 2006? Probably somewhere in between with all the young talents from the 2005 team rounding out into experienced veterans. Now there has to be more pop to the offense.
92. Ohio
2006 Record:
Even with RB Kalvin McRae, the MAC title might be way out of reach. The entire linebacking corps needs to be replaced, while mega-holes need patching on the offensive line.
93. Rice
2006 Record:
It's one and done for head coach Todd Graham who jetted to Tulsa, but at least almost everyone comes back including WR Jarett Dillard. The defense loses just enough playmakers to take a big drop.
94. Ball State
2006 Record:
Nate Davis is one of the MAC's most exciting young quarterbacks, and he has weapons to work with. Now the defense has to prove it can slow someone down.
95. Akron
2006 Record:
A major disappointment in 2006, the Zips have to make too many replacement on offense to be back in the MAC title hunt. Losing defensive linemen Kiki Gonzalez and Jermaine Reid won't help.
96. Miami University
2006 Record:
One of 2006's biggest disasters, the chance is there for an immediate turnaround with almost everyone coming back. It's all up to the offensive line and the running game. If they're not night-and-day better, the season will be another failure.
97. Air Force
2006 Record:
It's the first year post-Fisher DeBerry with Troy Calhoun inheriting veteran QB Shaun Carney and most of the defensive back seven. The offensive line has to deal with some major personnel changes, but it always does at Air Force.
98. Memphis
2006 Record:
Was 2006 just a strange fluke? The offense should be better with ten starters returning including QB Martin Hankins and RB Joseph Doss. The defense that was so awful last year will at least be experienced with the entire defensive front seven returning. Three starters in the secondary need to be replaced.
99. San Diego State
2006 Record:
Chuck Long's second year had better be a whole bunch better. He needs RB Lynell Hamilton to stay healthy for a full season, but Atiyyah Henderson is a nice backup. There's experience at the top spots, so there's no excuse to average just 14.17 points per game again.
2006 Record:
This was a veteran team in 2006 that didn't do much of anything, and now new head coach Neil Callaway has a ton of work to do. The top runners are gone, as is injured QB Chris Williams and several starting offensive linemen. The defense has to start from near-scratch on the defensive line.
2006 Record:
Things can't be any worse than last year's disaster. The best defensive player, CB Eric Wright, left early for the NFL, and four starters need to be replaced on the offensive line, but QB Rocky Hinds has a year of experience and a good receiving corps to work with.
102. Tulane
2006 Record:
New head coach Bob Toledo has to hope Scott Elliott can be a steady, consistent quarterback. The lack of dangerous offensive playmakers should keep things grounded for at least another year. The defense gets eight starters back and should be decent on the defensive front.
103. Bowling Green
2006 Record:
One of the hardest teams to rank, Bowling Green has a slew of exciting players to build around. If all the freshman and sophomores of last year start to play better than they did at the end of last year, put the Falcons at least 15 spots higher.
104. New Mexico State
2006 Record:
The defense might not stop anyone, but it might not have to. Chase Holbrook will give Colt Brennan a run for his money when it comes to stratospheric passing numbers. Chris Williams should be one of the nation's leading receivers.
105. Troy
2006 Record:
After shocking the bowl world with a dismantling of Rice in the New Orleans Bowl, the program is sky high. The offensive line will be the big problem early, but QB Omar Haugabook proved he can handle himself under pressure.
Arkansas State
2006 Record:
This might be too low considering all the returning talent on offense, especially the backfield. The defensive line needs work.
UL Lafayette
2006 Record:
The Ragin' Cajuns will run more than ever with Michael Desormeaux at quarterback and Sun Belt Player of the Year candidate Tyrell Fenroy the workhorse. They might be the preseason Sun Belt favorites.
108. Army
2006 Record:
Carson Williams got his feet wet last year, and now he has to live up to his immense potential and be the difference making quarterback the program hasn't had in years. Five starters are gone off the defense, while three starters need to be replaced on the offensive line.
109. Florida Atlantic
2006 Record:
The team played great over the second half of the season, and now it has experience coming back on offense.
110. Middle Tennessee
2006 Record:
Rick Stockstill's team should take a bit of a dip replacing several key offensive linemen, QB Clint Marks, and RB Eugene Gross from an offense that was hardly nasty to begin with. The defense should once again be great.
Louisiana Tech
2006 Record:
The Derek Dooley era should start off slow, but there's a boatload of experience returning. The first order of business will be to get the defense back on track, while former Tulane head coach Chris Scelfo has to get Zac Champion and the offense to find some consistency.
112. UL Monroe
2006 Record:
Just about everyone returns on offense led by exciting QB Kinsmon Lancaster and star back Calvin Dawson. Closing out with a two-game winning streak should provide some momentum.
113. Idaho
2006 Record:
Robb Akey tries to pick up the pieces after Dennis Erickson bolted for Arizona State, and he has experience to work with. The strength is at running back, while QB Brian Nooy has to be strong right away replacing Steven Wichman.
114. North Texas
2006 Record:
If Todd Dodge brings over half the success he had as a high school head man, UNT will soon be solid. The running back tandem of Jamario Thomas and Evan Robertson need to be unleashed.
Eastern Michigan
2006 Record:
There's still a long road ahead needing to settle the quarterback situation right off the bat while praying for all the returning talent on both sides of the ball to be enough to finally start winning some close games.
2006 Record:
Turner Gill still has his work cut out for him, but the young team has time and pieces to build around to finally be more than just a MAC doormat. Step one will be to get the offense on track.
Utah State
2006 Record:
Arguably the nation's worst team last year, the Aggies have to try to pick up the pieces with a veteran defense that has to prove it can slow someone down, and running back Marcus Cross leading an offense that finished near the bottom nationally in almost every major category.
118. Temple
2006 Record:
Baby steps, baby steps. This was a young group last year that took its lumps, but got a lot of experience. The team's one real offensive weapon, RB Tim Brown, is gone, but Adam DiMichele and Vaughn Charlton are promising quarterbacks to work around. Eight starters return on defense.
2006 Record:
Mario Cristobal takes over at a bad time needing to replace many of the key parts from the great defense while starting from scratch on offense.

Registration is now open for UBTech. "The conference formerly known as EduComm" returns to the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, June 11-13.
Social networking, online banking, entertainment... There's an app for that—and for everything else you can think of. When it comes to higher ed, there's an app for that, too.
Telepresence isn't for every institution. Have your campus leaders considered other related technologies?
Imagine being a student in a class listening to your professor as she writes on a whiteboard at the front of the room.
Although printer purchases aren't an everyday occurrence on campuses—or at least the procurement office hopes not—when it's time to buy new printers, department and purchasing leaders can look to features in new models that can save time and money.
Mainstream colleges and universities could benefit from increased use of assistive technologies for learning, but there are some educators who feel that allowing students to use assistive technology is like cheating.
Programs in entrepreneurship aren't new on college campuses. But, the mindset that college graduates may find it easier to create their own jobs rather than find one is new.
Last month, Professional Media Group, owners and producers of the EduComm conference, announced a new name for the conference's 2012 incarnation: UBTech.
Proposals are in from institutions vying to build a tech campus in the "city that never sleeps" as part of the "Applied Sciences NYC" initiative. It's the beginning of an effort to bring New York City to the forefront of technology start-ups and innovation.
A Prospective student attending an open house or career fair, who has just finished the LSAT, or even who has some time on a train commute can apply to Atlanta's John Marshall Law School on the spot—via smartphone or tablet.
It's a simple idea for community colleges that sounds almost archaic: Check the help wanted ads and shape programs around available jobs.
Leaders from 16 community colleges around the country gathered at the White House in September to participate in a roundtable discussion on the role community colleges play in America.

Day 5
We awoke to a nice warm sunny morning at the Cottonwood campground on day 5 of our trip. We took our time making coffee, some oatmeal, and finally packing up. Kerry ran off for some photo ops whilst I prepared the morning brew. She brought home this great morning shot overlooking the Rio Grande.
We noticed a couple of odd things around the campground that morning. First off, there was this really old guy who had spent the night sleeping in the drivers seat of his red Ford Focus. The other three seats were jammed with boxes and stuff. Pretty odd. He would occasionally get out of the car, walk around to grab something from the stuff at one of the other doors, walk back around to the drivers side and sit back down again. He was there when we arrived the previous afternoon and was still there just hanging out when we left. It's like his whole life was in this car.
As we were packing up our stuff we noticed another vehicle drive over and park and the far end of the campground just past our spot. This person never exited the car, they just sat they as if they were waiting for us to leave. We decided that since we had taken the primo spot that he was definitely waiting for us to leave.
Soon enough we were on the road heading towards the Santa Elena Canyon as we heard this was a good spot to be in the morning. The road there was nice and schwoopty. Things started out nicely on this day.
A rare shot of me.
Some paved goodness to start off the day.
Our bikes were beginning to get pretty dirty. Notice the mild case of desert pin stripping setting in on the boxes.
A shot of Santa Elena Canyon.
As soon as we left this trail head parking lot the road turned to dirt as we headed for the western boundary of the park. We came across this sign that was fitting for what we were about to encounter.
I really liked this section, mostly because of the giant flowering Yucca's.
The views from the road.
We passed the Louissiannan dude we met at the campground the night before. I dig his 4WC camper.
After exiting the park we drove around Terlingua, the ghost town, and Lajitas for a while trying to find a good place for lunch. We also tried to figure out where we'd stay if we were to stay another night but frankly mid-day nothing looked all that appealing which was probably a mistake as I have heard great things about the night life in Terlingua. Anyway, we grabbed some tasty Mexican food and then headed up the river road from Lajitas to Presidio. What a gem.
Miles and miles and miles of twisty goodness. Up and down and around, with views of the Rio Grande to the left and Big Bend Ranch State Park to the right. And I believe those are Texas Blue Bells along the roadside in this second image.
After rolling through Presidio we continued in a northwesterly direction towards Ruidosa. The road was empty and desolate. There is absolutely nothing out here.
Upon reaching Ruidosa we stopped briefly to examine the maps. We were looking for the 2810 road which would take us back over to Marfa. We chatted up a local who was out working on his diesel (the tractor-trailer kind, not the F350 kind). It was getting late in the day so we were getting a bit concerned about taking on what we expected to be a 50 mile section of dirt road after 5:00 p.m. with only an hour or so of daylight remaining. Never know what you will run into. We asked him about the Chinati Hot Springs but he didn't know much about them except how to get there. He thought it would take us about an hour to ride out the 2810 road to Marfa. We decided against the hot springs for the evening despite a good recommendation from someone on this forum. Turns out this might have been the right decision since after doing a little further research it seems they require reservations.
Leaving Ruidosa we were soon treated to grand views of sinuous dirt roads winding up into the hills.
We climbed up and up for maybe 30 minutes. The road never became too difficult and was actually quite pleasant, especially with the changing light this late in the day.
To our amazement after cresting the summit on dirt the road became paved. The views were grand and the riding was swift. I know I broke the speed limit just a little letting the big Tiger run free along this wonderful stretch of highway.
We made Marfa before dark bringing to a close another fantastic day of riding.

Did you start to set it up. Did you have the beeps the first time you booted up. I guess there is a possibility that your setting up has set something that starts the beeping. If you have installed some programs try a system restore to an earlier time and see if the beeps cease.

At the store handed over the first laptop and given brand new boxed laptop of same type, had hearing aides out at first when setting up so not too sure if bleeps were at the start.
next twist
went to samsung live chat, [had duff advice from them on last week on the phone and email] but the live chat said 2 bleeps at strat up is ok and for opening programs etc. asked how to mute it told to goto bios its clear to see.
well went to bios no trace so back onto samsung chat who now say take it to a service centre for the full bios settings to be made visible, never heard of hidden bios before. its a great laptop but this saga is taken the smile off it quickly.

Keep us updated please.
When you get the new one check if the beeps are there on first boot up. Then if OK make a Restore Point. As you install your various programs etc keep taking new Restore Points. At least if the beeps return you will then be able to narrow down what is causing them and restore to an earlier point while investigating further.

on the helpline to samsung in the bios did f9 then f10 and the bleeps stopped but only till the following startup. I see on the web they are now reduced to clear wonder if its a bad batch and they are trying to get shot of them.

i asked JL to check before delivery that the laptop did not have the same fault they said they would, rang yesterday to confirm they assured me it had been checked and ok.
3rd laptop arrived today, unpack press power button and the faulty bleeps sound, rang JL again they appologised for not checking, exchanging for a 4th tomorrow but before i leave the shop floor will be booting it up.
always had good service from JL do a lot of shopping with them but not impressed with the way they fobbed me off about checking the laptop.
they have 12 in stock wondering how many faulty ones i boot up in store before i get one that works.

Driverless car technology has the ability to attract billions in research dollars to those states that create the right legal framework for the development and testing of driverless vehicles. Tangible benefits of this technology include, safer roads, faster commutes, and increased mobility for persons with disabilities. While fully driverless cars are years away, at least one auto industry CEO predicts that driverless cars will be in showrooms by 2020.
A critical legal issue becomes who is liable when there is an accident where the driver, was by design, not in control of the vehicle. Who is to blame, the automaker, the occupant, the car's owner, the supplier that designed or retrofitted the technology? Driverless car technology promises to be heavily regulated, not only by states, but federally by the NHTSA. Although there are no specific federal regulations yet, a patchwork of state laws is forming.
Nevada, California, and Florida already have passed laws governing driverless vehicles. Michigan is currently considering legislation. Governor Rick Synder (Michigan) in his January State of the State address called for Michigan to join other states in allowing self-driving vehicle research on the state's roads. Michigan Senate Bill 169 was introduced on February 7, 2013. Michigan's proposed bill allows for the testing of automated vehicles on the state's roads provided there is a human operator in the vehicle to monitor performance, and if necessary, intervene. The Michigan legislation also exempts the vehicle manufacturer from civil liability for damages resulting from the conversion of the vehicle into an automated vehicle by another company or product. Florida's law also similarly exempts vehicle manufactures from liability. In contrast, the laws in California and Nevada are silent as to vehicle manufacturer liability. In creating the future of the vehicle industry, automakers and suppliers need to be aware of how these laws will affect their liability in the future.
