Did the buddy give the lady her mirror back?
One will hope the wags won't want to know if the accident was "green". That isn't fun anyway it's looked at.
doesnt surprise me the car is designed with pedestrians in mind like the honda civic exept they dont boast about it
riding and pimpin again
A Prius passed me on a long downhill the other day, and I didn't even know it was there until it was beside me. I even use a mirror, although it shrinks the images quite a bit. The Prius passed me pretty closely, so it was lucky for me that I didn't swerve to miss a pothole or anything. I was going 30 mph down the hill, and the speed limit on the street was about 30.
I didn't realize Honda made a Prius
yep your right and the coolest prius ever made:
Cars make you weak.
I hit a Prius, who continued on without stopping last summer. I was riding along a road, one lane in each direction, about 1/4 mile from a light where most of the traffic wanted to turn left - I was going to go straight through. Traffic was backed up for about a mile, so I was filtering forward to the right of the stopped traffic. As I approached a (non controlled) intersection, I saw a car on my right, who wanted to make a right turn into the traffic, which was stopped. One of the cars had stopped to open a gap to allow her to move in, but the gap was not yet large enough for her to merge. As I approached the intersection, I slowed down to about 5mph, waiting to see how things would develop. The driver of the right turning car waved me through, since she couldn't make her turn, and I proceeded slowly, keeping my eye on her since I never trust someone who is waving me through... As I was entering the intersection, a Prius coming in the opposite direction made a left turn through the gap in the traffic, and appeared right in front of me. I turned to my left, grazing the right side of the Prius, ripping the tape on my right handlebar, and bruising my right hand, but not going down. The Prius never stopped but sped up the road.

Amazing how a smart car doesn't always reflect on the driver?
I'm surprised a Prius can generate enough force to actually be in an accident. Isn't this the vehicle you turn by just holding your hand out the window.
I don't recommend, Dobber, that you try out your hypothesis. I speak from experience.
my wife has one (prius).
i think it's good, wish there were more using the roads (got deisiled sp-several times in today's commute).
my real concern is increase use of motorcycles and road sharing.
Two motors: 76HP Gas, 67HP Electric. Rarely will both engines be running at 100% power. Hybrids just don't work like that. That's why the dyno only shows 100ish horsepower. Throw in the standard 15% drivetrain loss and you're at 115HP. Not a hot rod, but like I said, not really indicative of the car and also kind of irrelevant given the purpose of the car.
Down-low grunt is where small gas engines typically suffer, which is why the Prius' electric motor has 295ft/lbs of torque. This is PLENTY to keep up with traffic.
The 0-60 is in the 10.5 sec range. That's fine for a car. Hot rod? no - Sufficient? yes.
I'm not saying that ~110 hp is a bad idea, I'm just saying that saying the Prius has this magically high number of power is bad, not to mention the number that really matters, the power-to-weight ratio is that of your typical econo-box developed 15-20 years ago. I don't think people need 0-60 in anything faster than 14 sec to be honest, but this whole "zomg it has real power" is ridiculous. People like to make a big huff that they don't have the typical "power hungry" attitude, but quote unrealistically high numbers, and still complain about low powered cars, not realizing the end performance is the same, and actually is MORE on the lighter cars with current technology.
And copying off of Wikipedia is great, but you do realize how electric motors work, thats 295ft/lbs of torque at 0 RPM. It drops rapidly as speed increases, and because it's not direct drive the system loses power even more rapidly.
It's a decent technology, but I didn't expect this wanna-be car enthusiast attitude from an anti-car bike forum. Err anti-if-it-isn't-a-prius.

State v. Ward [PDF], issued by the CT Supreme Court yesterday, presents the ubiquitous problem of how to contort the law and the plain meaning of words to ensure that an obviously guilty person stays convicted. Showing their abhorrence for "technicalities", the court does the astonishing: it re-imagines itself as a lexicographer and unilaterally changes the definition of a simple four-letter word.
The Court was presented with the following factual scenario: a man who works for a company in Massachusetts that does business with a company in Connecticut commits a crime here in CT and then returns to his home in MA. Twenty years later, he is arrested and charged with the commission of that crime.
This brings us to the intersection of the notions of justice and due process. For justice requires that someone who commits a crime like this shouldn't go unpunished, no matter how long it takes to find and prosecute them. Victimization remains forever and the penalty must be paid. Due process, on the other hand, demands that prosecutions be brought in a timely manner and that individuals not be required to answer for crimes allegedly committed decades earlier due to the inherent problems of missing witnesses, eroded memories and evanescent evidence.
This is why the law provides not only for a statute of limitations in almost all felony cases, but also for an "out clause": a tolling of that statute under certain restrictive circumstances. For the uninitiated, the statute of limitations states:
(b) No person may be prosecuted for any offense, other than an offense set forth in subsection (a) of this section, for which the punishment is or may be imprisonment in excess of one year, except within five years next after the offense has been committed.
The tolling provision states:
(d) If the person against whom an indictment, information or complaint for any of said offenses is brought has fled from and resided out of this state during the period so limited, it may be brought against such person at any time within such period, during which such person resides in this state, after the commission of the offense.
Clearly, in the matter of Ward, the prosecution was not initiated within 5 years of the commission of the offense. So the only question that remains is whether the limitations period has been tolled. To answer that question we need to ask if Ward "fled" the state.
The verb "to flee" generally invokes the image of a person running away from a negative event or circumstance. And certainly in the criminal context, the word means to run away from the criminal consequences of one's illegal actions, viz., an investigation or prosecution. The alternative – that every individual who has committed, or thinks he has committed, a crime is required to stay at the scene of that crime and await the inevitable arrival of Constable Fife with open arms is absurd and illogi-I'm sorry, hang on. The Supreme Court wants to say something:
The defendant contends that the trial court improperly determined that he ''fled from and resided out of this state''; General Statutes (Rev. to 1987) § 54-193 (c); because the state did not present any evidence to show that he was aware of a criminal investigation against him and that he fled in order to avoid prosecution. In response, the state contends that the term fled does not require an intent to avoid arrest or prosecution and that any absence from the jurisdiction, regardless of intent, tolls the statute of limitations. We agree with the state that the plain language of § 54-193 (c) does not require a defendant to leave the state with the intent of avoiding prosecution.
Section 54-193 (c) contains no mention of a requirement that the defendant must have fled for the purpose of avoiding prosecution. Thus, the plain language of § 54-193 (c) supports the conclusion that it does not require that a defendant has fled with the intent to avoid prosecution.
[(c) is now (d)] Oh. I see. So you are saying that all perpetrators must stand vigil at their crime scenes until police arrive to arrest them. Are they required to provide confessions too? Maybe we should make it a law for all criminals to videotape their criminal activity and then mail the aforementioned tape to the nearest police department and turn themselves in within 24 hours.
The fact that the Court agrees with the State that the verb "to flee" as used in the statute has no intent requirement renders the phrase meaningless. They might as well take it out of the statute and simply say "if the person has left the state…" because the existence or possibility of a prosecution is irrelevant.
We note, however, that the common usage of the term fled connotes a meaning that a defendant is running away from something. The term fled as we have ascertained from the dictionary definition means to run away from danger—in the context of § 54-193 (c), we understand this term to mean investigation—and hurry toward a place of security—in the context of § 54-193 (c), we understand this term to mean outside of the jurisdiction. We conclude, therefore, that § 54-193 (c) may toll the statute of limitations when a defendant absents himself from the jurisdiction with reason to believe that an investigation may ensue as the result of his actions.
Okay, hang on. I'm confused. What? You just got done saying that it didn't matter why the person left the state. Then you use the wishy-washy word "may" in the next paragraph to include that scenario that you just dismissed as irrelevant1. WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME?
Certainly, the defendant herein, as a result of his conduct in the victim's home, had reason to believe that an investigation would ensue.
Ay, there's the rub. He's a Very Bad Guy and he's Obviously Guilty so he should've known that a prosecution would naturally ensue from his actions.
Granted, a man who rapes a woman at knifepoint in her home, deposits his DNA everywhere and just saunters off cannot plausibly claim that he "just went home" and so the court, in an "ends justify the means" sort of way can reasonably be forgiven for calling bullshit on his claim that the statute had run.
But this doesn't – and shouldn't – give the Court license to rewrite the meaning of the word in the statute that affects not only Ward, but every other criminal defendant in the state. The court has added a judicial gloss to the meaning of the statute in a way that was completely unnecessary and unfortunately served to eviscerate the protections offered by it, despite its fervent protestations to the contrary:
We reject the defendant's argument that construing § 54-193 (c) in a manner that does not require an intent to avoid prosecution renders the term fled meaningless. As we have explained previously herein, a defendant must absent himself from the jurisdiction with reason to believe that an investigation will ensue as the result of his actions in order for there to be an application of the tolling provision. There may, indeed, be situations in which a person is traveling through Connecticut and leaves the jurisdiction without reason to believe that an investigation would ensue as a result of his or her actions. For instance, if a motorist was driving on a dark road at night and hit what he reasonably believed to be a bump in the road without stopping, only later to learn that he had left the scene of an accident, he may not have fled the jurisdiction within the meaning of § 54-193 (c). We are confident that our interpretation of the statute does not render the term fled meaningless.
God this court is schizophrenic. From the earlier "may" we now come to a "must", thereby cementing that a reasonable belief that an investigation will ensue is an integral part of the determination of whether the defendant "fled". The court then provides the most laughably absurd example of how that requirement would serve to protect an "innocent" person, but still cannot bring itself to say that its own fictional defendant, in its fictional example of the application of the statute that they have just defined "must" get the protection it confers. All it can say is "he may not have fled the jurisdiction", because logic.
For this judicial determination of "he should have known because, look, he's really guilty" is a prior judicial determination of guilt before the fact-finder is called upon to make that very same determination. Through what lens are we to make this determination of a "reasonable" belief? From the perspective of the defendant at the time of the commission of the alleged offense? At the time of arrest?
This "interpretation" may not have rendered the term "fled" meaningless, but it sure has made it completely incomprehensible and useless.
There's a lesson to be learned here, kids: bad cases make bad law, always.
1Unless, of course, you're using the word "may" in the sense of "is permitted to". As in "you may serve me my coffee now". In which case, I suggest the use of the more direct and precise "shall" or "will".
This is the song I first thought of when I read this case. There are some obvious similarities, but I'll leave it to you to figure them out:

While Nick Connell, left, and North Rockland will be playing at least one more game, the season has come to an end for all of Section 1's non-playoff teams due to logistical problems brought on by Superstorm Sandy.
- Filed Under
Joe Letizia had already rushed for 260 yards in the first half of last week's win over Port Chester, breaking longstanding Rockland County scoring records and establishing himself as the county's only player to ever break the 4,000-yard plateau. So by the time he had finally recovered from a bout of cramping in the third quarter, coach Andy DiDomenico told the Tappan Zee star to take the rest of the night off.
"He just said it wasn't even worth it," said Letizia, whose team won 41-6. "He thought I would have another game."
So did everyone. But on Friday, amid protestations from disappointed ...

Various tax options exist when saving for medical costs
People who take certain steps to save money for future health costs may find that they can receive certain benefits at
tax filing
According to the IRS Web site, such options include health savings accounts, medical savings accounts and health flexible spending arrangements.
With a health savings account, individuals as well as employers and family members, can all make contributions. Non-employer contributions are said to be deductible on an individual''s return regardless of whether that person itemizes their deductions. Also, distributions from such accounts that are used for qualified health care-related expenses are not taxed.
The IRS also explains that under an Archer medical savings account, contributions are deductible, regardless of whether one itemizes. These accounts can receive contributions from eligible individuals and employers, although not in the same year, and employer contributions are not counted as income. Distributions from these accounts are also not taxed.
Certain taxpayers can also benefit from a Medicare Advantage MSA, which is similar to the Archer MSA but applies to those enrolled in the federal program.
Finally, taxpayers may also use health flexible spending arrangements and health reimbursement arrangements to save money for future medical needs while also potentially lowering their tax burden.

Can USS VOYAGER separate from saucer section?
View Single Post
April 12 2013, 06:56 PM
Location: The Enterprise's Restroom
Re: Can USS VOYAGER separate from saucer section?
The dramatic need (ie. in the scripts) for a 'saucer seper' was negated by Voyager's ability to jettison the warp core and then re-integrate it, as we've seen in a few episodes. If, indeed, the primary reason for seperating the saucer is in case of a warp core breach. As opposed to, you know, maybe Neelix deciding to take it for a quick joy ride one night while the crew are all suspiciously asleep after he served them some of his new soup in the mess hall, or something. It could happen.
I mean, if you can jettison the core, and the ship doesn't have families on it anymore, then there isn't really a need to a saucer seper is there? Unless it was for purely tactical reasons, like we saw with the Prometheus in "Message In A Bottle". Of course, that doesn't mean Voyager
seperate. But I'd argue jettisoning the core is easier. Except on those occasions when the jettison fails and the core stays clamped in the engine room. If that happens then they're pretty much screwed.

Cool concept but based on where my routers ACTUALLY are its not accurate at all. Safe to say Developer isn't updating.
Early versions worked extremely well, but last few updates vary. Rotate your phone if you are getting all of your spots in a row.
Can't read any of the locations. Location titles run all over each other so you can't read anything. (Living in a city with a lot of locations near me.) WiGLE Wifi Wardriving is much better.
FC Every time I try to use it. When I do get it to work the icons are always in a row, so not sure if its accurate. Droid X
Turn on the portable WiFi hotspot feature with a single touch.

The aim of this study was to determine whether radiation (RT)-induced inflammatory responses and organ damage might be modulated by androgen deprivation therapies.
The mRNA and tissue sections obtained from the lungs, intestines and livers of irradiated mice with or without androgen deprivation were analyzed by real-time PCR and histological analysis. Activation of NF-kappa B was examined by measuring nuclear protein levels in the intestine and lung 24 h after irradiation. We also examined the levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), TGF-β1 and p-AKT to elucidate the related pathway responsible to irradiation (RT) -induced fibrosis.
We found androgen deprivation by castration significantly augmented RT-induced inflammation, associated with the increase NF-κB activation and COX-2 expression. However, administration of flutamide had no obvious effect on the radiation-induced inflammation response in the lung and intestine. These different responses were probably due to the increase of RT-induced NF-κB activation and COX-2 expression by castration or lupron treatment. In addition, our data suggest that TGF-β1 and the induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may contribute to RT-induced fibrosis.
When irradiation was given to patients with total androgen deprivation, the augmenting effects on the RT-induced inflammation and fibrosis should take into consideration for complications associated with radiotherapy.
