On Saturday, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots both advanced to their respective conference championship games.
Earlier today, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Carolina Panthers 23-10 to advance to the NFC Championship Game, and then the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers 24-17 to move on to the AFC Championship Game. Both championship games will be played on Sunday, Jan. 19.
As the first seed, Denver will host New England in the AFC Championship Game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The game will kickoff at 3pm ET on CBS.
Seattle is also a number one seed, which means they will host San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The game will kickoff at 6:30pm ET on FOX.
The AFC and NFC Champions will meet in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on Sunday, February 2, 2014. The game will be televised by FOX at 6:30pm ET.
I would like to know when the 2014 schedule for the 49ers will be out. Also when are the single season tickets going on sale. Need to know asap because I want to attend the 49er first home game and I need dates so that I can schedule my 2 week vacation in Sept. Thank you in advance for your help.

A couple days ago i was playing a game on the xbox, my box worked fine. About 4 hours after i was done playing I decided to play again. I booted my xbox with the modchip off and i got ERROR 7. With the modchip on ERROR 7. I then took apart my xbox and made sure the ide cable were properly connected at the 3 spots. Booted it up again and got the same error. I then took my modchip off (have a solderless one) and then booted it, still ERROR 7. I then replaced the original xbox hard drive and got ERROR 6. Then i reinstalled the modchip, and with the original HDD still ERROR 6. I then proceeded to change the ide cable. Still no success. I did check both hard drives and they are not dead. I then put the 120 GB HDD in with the modchip on and amazingly the boot screen came up with XBOX and with XECUTOR2 down on the bottom ( hasnt done this during this problem or with the regular MICROS*FT.) But it just hung at the screen. I havent been able to get that to come up again. It seems like i have tried everything and still can't get it to work. I would like to know of any similar experiences and how you fixed them. Thanks. Sorry for the long post.

Your HD is probably dead. Try booting with the chip on, the new 120GB HD, and use Slayers or something to format the new HD (if it's not formatted already)

Publisher's Description
Controversy has raged for centuries over the authenticity and authorship of the book of Daniel. Is it a forged document written much later to encourage Maccabean freedom fighters resisting Antiochus Epiphanes? Isn't it full of obvious historical blunders? How could Daniel have included Greek works in his Hebrew and Aramaic text?
John C. Whitcomb has answered these accusations and more against the prophetic revelation of Daniel. With thorough research and thoughtful commentary he reaffirms for us the importance of the book of Daniel among the prophetic books of the Old Testament.
The sovereignty of God is so evident throughout the life of Daniel the prophet that we cannot doubt the sovereign intention of Daniel the book.

Clement5 Stars Out Of 5February 25, 2010ClementThis book is under the "Everyman Bible Commentary" series and is designed for the layman. By avoiding technical jargon and writing in a simple manner, it actually fulfils its claim by expositing the book of Daniel in a clear and concise way to the laity. Whitcomb's comments are faithful to the Scriptures and upholds the sovereignty of God. Hence, it is highly recommended for any Christian who wants an introductory study into the book of Daniel.
Franklin Fowler Jr.3 Stars Out Of 5May 20, 2008Franklin Fowler Jr.One of many "references" in my library. Healthy views of many areas, but the brevity of the work is its greatest limitation. No "room" to do any exegesis.

From Publishers Weekly
—The New York Times Book Review
"A nuanced, funny, and heartbreaking story."
—The New Yorker
"A gorgeous, open-hearted book. Rogers manages to do the vital work of taking race out of Zimbabwe's story and putting the heart and humanity back into it. A must read for anyone who really wants to understand the extraordinary decency of ordinary Zimbabweans."
—Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
"I read it in one sitting. I loved it."
—Rian Malan, author of My Traitor's Heart
"Do we really need another memoir by a white Zimbabwean? The surprising answer is yes, if it's as good as Douglas Rogers' THE LAST RESORT….A ripping yarn….[moves] beyond memoir to become a chronicle of a nation. There is black and white, yes, but much more in the shades and tones of their mix—and it is in exploring them that Rogers, too, find his art."
"Zimbabwe in vertiginous decline is the backdrop for Douglas Rogers's corrosively funny THE LAST RESORT, in which Roger's parents, among the country's last remaining white farmers, attract everyone from prostitutes and diamond dealers to their backpacker lodge."
—Vogue, featured in "The Season's Best Memoirs"
"Born in Zimbabwe, New York-based travel writer Rogers moves between two worlds with wit and grace while telling the dire-straits story of his childhood in Zimbabwe and his recent return....Angst, humor, beauty and terror mingle freely in his narrative....This rousing memoir should win over anyone with a taste for exotic can't-go-home-again stories.

The Umoja learning community at Sierra College is open to all students and is specifically designed to increase the retention and success rates as well as the graduation and transfer rates of African ancestry students.
Umoja is a Swahili word meaning unity. In the Umoja Learning Community a network of students and faculty is created with a dedication to enhancing the cultural and educational experiences of Black, African-American students. It is believed that when voices and histories of students are deliberately and intentionally recognized, the opportunity for self-efficacy emerges and a foundation is formed for academic success. All students are welcome to join.
The Umoja community seeks to educate the whole student—body, mind and spirit. Informed by an ethic of love and its vital power, the Umoja community will deliberately engage students as full participants in the construction of knowledge and critical thought. The Umoja community seeks to help students experience themselves as valuable and worthy of an education. The learning experience within the Umoja community will provide each individual the opportunity to add their voice and their story to the collective voices and stories of the African Diaspora (movement).
With emphasis on topics relevant to the African American experience, the curriculum focuses on improving reading, writing, self-discipline and critical thinking skills. Program counselors also provide assistance with the personal issues that often hinder African American students in an educational setting. The Umoja program is a "family" in which we help and take care of each other in the new experience of learning to navigate college and becoming successful in education.

councillors on Friday that, following the submission, staff

His team was also working with the parks and recreation team
to look at more regular maintenance. Staff planned to do the
work within existing budgets, he said.
Cr Kate Wilson, a Taieri-Mosgiel ward councillor, said she
had also suggested the group bring their concerns to the

ways in which they could raise some community funding for the
work they wanted done.

Ohio State holds off Michigan State, 61-58
Aaron Craft came on strong in the second half to finish with 20 points and lead No. 10 Ohio State past No. 8 Michigan State, 61-58 on Saturday in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament.
There's still time to join thousands of Big Ten fans and have some fun! Sign up to run in our Aug. 6 Big 10K in Chicago.
Aaron Craft came on strong in the second half to finish with 20 points and lead No. 10 Ohio State past No. 8 Michigan State, 61-58 on Saturday in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament.
There was a special a moment following No. 4 seed Wisconsin's victory over No. 1 Indiana in the Big Ten tourney semifinals Saturday afternoon, and it involved a father and a son. Here's a hint: The father is a BTN analyst. Yeah, Jim Jackson and his son, Wisconsin guard Traevon Jackson, shared a genuine moment before the son joined the BTN crew on set to talk about the win.
The Badgers slowed down the prolific Indiana attack, keeping the Hoosiers under 60 points. And this was an Indiana squad that came in averaging 80.8 points in all games. Wisconsin did a great job denying entry passes to the post and rarely offered open looks from 3-point range. Bottom line: It was a textbook Wisconsin victory. You see, this is why Bo Ryan was the Big Ten coach of the year. And, that's 12 wins in a row for Wisconsin over Indiana.
David Banks-USA TODAY Sports
Bill Carmody hasn't gotten Northwestern to the NCAA tournament in 13 seasons on the job. And, he won't get a 14th try. Today, the school announced Carmody won't be back. I'm sure it was a difficult decision. But, it was the correct decision.
Ryan Evans scored 16 points to help Wisconsin upsetIndiana 68-56 in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament Saturday. The Badgers allowed only seven points after the top-seeded Hoosiers pulled within one with 9:45 left. They earned their 12th consecutive win against Indiana, tying a record for any school against the powerhouse program, and will play Ohio State or Michigan State in Sunday's final.

Johnathan Vilma's defamation case against NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been dismissed in court today. Today Judge Ginger Berrigan in New Orleans threw out Vilma's defamation case, ruling in favor of Goodell. Vilma filed suit against the commissioner in the midst of the 'bountygate' scandal. Vilma alleged that Goodell made tarnishing and false statements about him throughout the investigation. The Judge issued the following statement: 'The Court finds that all of the allegedly offensive statements were made by Goodell as Commissioner of the NFL in conjunction with the investigation resulting in the now well-known discipline against Vilma and others associated with the Saints." The lawsuit seemed to be initiated through Vilma's disdain for Goodell more than anything based in actual fact. Vilma clearly wanted revenge against 'dictator' Goodell, so he took this route. Now that bountygate and now this matter have been resolved it's best both sides just get back to focusing on the game itself. The NFL is way too swamped with former players filing suit over safety issues to be enthralled in another lengthy court hearing. Move on.

That's right Jack, when you can't come up with any fact, turn it into a conspiracy. and voila ! Just like a few characters do at Gocomics.
He has suddenly woken up to the fact that unemployment figures have been cooked up for the last forty years.
Reminds me of Gerald from this forum, a libertarian with very few morals and ethics. He was in Chicago once decades ago and committed voter fraud so that means everyone else in Chicago since then does it still.
Right but a guy standing up and saying Romney never paid taxes is embraced as the apex of truth, honesty, and gospel by the left.. With zero proof, and a history of dishonesty about his own finances.
Of course the figures are not accurate.
But if you speak up against the regime….
JD & his ilk would like to bring back tar & feathering. But only for conservatives…
Jack tweeted, Fox reported it. Jack explained that he meant to question, not accuse. Fox reported that too. That seems fair. (and balanced)
Jack is, self -evidently, a welcher.
Why all the fuss over president? Outside the indirect effect one might have in officially designated swing states, you don't even have the right to influence the election of your president – that belongs to 534 anonymous elites. It won't mean a thing if your state cannot swing. Get to work on the obstructionist House and fascist state legislatures instead. Any vote for president is "wasted", so cast a protest for Jill Stein – at least the Greens favor letting you actually and directly elect your president some day.
Does anyone take anything that Fox "reports" as being accurate? If so, why? It's plainly nothing but a house organ for the Rethuglicans.
Actually, the slogan for FAUX Noise should be "We Distort, You Deride"!
No useless comments about how bad the other media outlets are? No? You just swallow their lies hook line and sinker? Spread your derision around to them too, they deserve it.
The whole GOP are nothing but "Chicago Guys". With rich and greedy patriots like Jerk Welch our country has been heading for bankruptcy, time to Jack Up Jerky Boy Welch's taxes.
Another lib without the ability to check his own party or the ability to express thought without childish name calling?
("Can't accuse us of lying because we never SAID he was; we just ASKED if he was. Nyah nyah. And, of course, there is absolutely NO evidence that he is but we neglected to add that bit to our 30 second sound bite because that might confuse people.")
Look up the GAI
I tend to look at the statistics for black people which in April was 13% and then add some points for those who have given up. My guess is real unemployment is around 15%.
For Black male teens, unemployment was 39.6% (virtually unchanged from. 40.2 % in March).
Reid on the other hand, saying Romney didn't pay taxes, can do no wrong.
If food processors must print how much salt is in their products, shouldn't new agencies state how much BS is in there new?

The biggest challenge was the conversion of a family apartment compartmented into an apartment for a young single advertiser, and retrofitting existing securities repaginating brought from other apartment. The meticulous work respected the memories impregnated in certain parts and introduced new elements from the new intentions. The living room, tv room and kitchen have become part of a single space through the demolition of walls and removal of the toilet.
Shelves specifically emphasize the horizontality of the space and serve as a shield for design pieces. A large gallery Corten steel is the element delimiter between social and intimate, camouflaging access that is done through a pivoting door. The original structure was exposed and the materials are shown with sincerity. The concrete, glass and steel corten combine a sober color palette and contrast with some pieces that give identity to the flexible space.

Located in Hawthorn, this wide, open-planned office space and reception occupies 250sqm. The composition of this office space required innovative thinking and clever design solutions to make it practical whilst remaining simple, clean and light-filled. As a prominent Project and Development Management consultancy group, the interior acknowledges the client Case Meallin's respect for professionalism, planning and efficiency. Applying a grounding palette of charcoal and white, these blues feature in the custom floor covering and as geometric graphics in both the kitchen splashback and office glazing, which creates visual intrigue without playing to short-term trends.
Floor to ceiling natural oak timber screens generate a sense of large scale proportion whilst highlighting the divisions, providing privacy and distinguishing staff zoning between spaces. Throughout the office, efficient planning and clean architectural lines ensure spaces are light-filled and well-proportioned, whilst maintaining a fluidity from one space to the next.

Dutch design office Roderick Vos Studio has recently opened a new showroom in the town of 's Hertogenbosch (also called Den Bosch for short) in The Netherlands, which reflects its designers' convictions and philosophy about what design should (or should not) be. Founded in 1990 by designers and partners in life Roderick Vos and Claire Teeuwen, the studio specialises in innovative interior solutions and product designs for the home. With collaborations with companies such as Alessi, Driade and Moooi, products on display include iconic design pieces such as the modular Dresser Montigny, the almost poetic Kiyo faucet and the organic Atlantis bowl. More recent projects at the Roderick Vos Studio include the hybrid Bucketlight (cast-aluminium pots with live plants hung from the ceiling, double-functioning as lighting) and the interior design for the eat-in kitchen of hotel Château de la Resle in Burgundy, France.
Roderick Vos' philosophy as a designer is simple and concise: "Good design should be self-explanatory," in other words, a design object should not require intellectual and conceptual explanations in order to be appreciated, used and enjoyed. For Roderick Vos, art and design are two different beasts, with the latter being in the service of everyday life, utility and efficiency. A firm believer in the disarming power of simplicity and beauty, he strives towards creating objects that make the people who use them happy, placing more emphasis on the emotional impact of a product. Like a researcher armed with a child-like curiosity and eagerness for experimentation and play, he seeks new ideas in the factories and workshops where his products are manufactured, drawing inspiration from getting to know different materials, crafting techniques and the craftspeople themselves.

As living spaces and kitchen islands merge together in most contemporary homes nowadays, i29 designed a kitchen that acts more as a piece of furniture instead of as a kitchen. Our aim was to develop a kitchen system that seems to disappear in space. The design is reduced to it's absolute minimum, having a top surface of only a couple of centimeters thickness with all water, cooking and electrical connections included. Large sliding wall panels conceal all kitchen appliances and storage space. In the case of this apartment in Paris, where the kitchen concept is installed, an existing profiled wall is exactly copied on the front panels in order to integrate the solid volume with the monumental space. The freestanding kitchen island is placed in front of the panelled sliding doors.

This 1960's Hugh Kaptur ranch house was in quite a state of disrepair when it was purchased as a foreclosure. It had been "remuddled" several times, featuring electrical wiring run on the outside of walls, awkward closets added in every room, and poor design choices highlighted throughout. It was stripped of all finishes and some minor layout work was implemented. It was restored to its mid-century glory with modern, but period-appropriate, finishes and materials. Furnishings are a mix of vintage and new, mostly sourced from eBay and local Palm Springs vintage boutiques. It's intended use as a vacation home provided some extra latitude for whimsy and use of color. The original architect came to view the home at the end of the project and was highly complimentary.

An apartment built on the mezzanine level of a building overlooking the square that symbolises the city of Turin, Piazza San Carlo erected by the Dukes of Savoy and in particular Maria Cristina di Francia, who reigned as "Madama Reale" during the first half of the 17th century, turns into a modern-day theatre representing a certain idea of the bourgeois home, the home of the Turin professional middle classes, through its spaces and the furniture inside it, all embodying reassuring engineering precision and subtle concerns.
The building plan, characterised by a tunnel-shaped progression from the rear to the drawing room facing the square, the windows opening onto the square itself with their given shape and size of the "oculus" on the building facades marking the perimeter, and the need to set out the relational spaces in the living quarters as zones and premises that (to a greater or lesser degree) can be seen from outside, provide the initial input for the construction of a vaguely metaphysical home environment.

"Okko hotel is, first and foremost, the story of my encounter with Olivier Devys, the project's founder. Starting with a blank page, we combined our visions and our determination to take up the challenge of upending traditional practices in the hospitality industry to create a bold and innovative concept, an all-included package for the best location, best service and best price! Thus was born the idea of a contemporary and urban four-star hotel where the human, design, and innovation are at the heart of the project. I designed an adequate, simple, and timeless product around this "Okko spirit" to cater to customers' new needs: a place unaffected by time or trends and where the notions of service and comfort are essential; to be able to work, dine, relax, be waited on or use anything freely, any time of the day; to feel like being home away from home. The high-end amenities and services in the modern and relaxing Okko room and in the vast and convivial Club room make the Okko hotel a unique place that combines aesthetics and comfort. I wanted to create a brand, not just a hotel!"

Casa Cubo, the initiative of a couple of art collectors, was conceived to house a lodging and support center to artists and the development of the arts, but with all necessary facilities to serve as a home. The program was solved within a cubic block, split vertically into three levels and a mezzanine, whose façades are treated graphically as a combination of lines defined by the cladding cement plaques, by the glass strip on the mezzanine, and the striped wood composition that changes as the bedroom windows are opened and closed.
The service nucleus is located at the front of the ground level, comprising a kitchen, a restroom, a dining room and an entrance hall giving way to the wide room with double ceiling height and polished concrete floor, intended to host events, exhibitions or even work as a lounge that opens onto the backyard.
The mezzanine of the lounge, standing on the slab topping the service nucleus on the ground floor, houses the library, which is marked by three strong elements: a shelving unit extending the whole back wall, a strip of fixed glass next to the floor and a spiral staircase covered in wood that leads to the private quarters upstairs.
Private quarters consist of 3 bedrooms and a living room thoroughly lit through a floor-to-ceiling opening. The garage and service areas are located in the basement.

Here's the problem (I hope someone can help),
I have downloaded a template I would like to use. I extracted the files and then I copied the extracted files and pasted them into the 'wp-content/themes' of my wordpress directory.
However, the template is not showing on my options in the admin area of my web blog. I still only have the 'classic' and 'fresh' templates to choose from.
Is it possible my web blog is not linked to my wordpress folder on my desktop? If that's the case, how do I link it to my site?
I would really appreciate some help from you guys in the know.

I've been using % off coupon codes on my website that uses wp-ecommerce for quite a while with no problem. Now I'm trying to use $ codes, such as $60 towards the entire purchase. If they buy an item that costs $60 or ten of the same $6 item, it works perfectly. If someone buys five $60 different items, however, the $60 coupon gets applied to each item, making the entire purchase free. Or they try to use it towards ten $6 items and they can't check out because it shows a negative dollar amount. (Since each $6 item got a discount of $60!)
Also not sure which version of WordPress I'm using. The site was created by web designers that are no longer in business. (Now I see why...) Am working on hiring new designers. In the meantime, how do I determine the version of the site when I'm logged in?

press release
Invisible co-pilots make driving in road traffic safer
Adaptive cruise control: ACC can accelerate and brake a car autonomously. With the help of a radar sensor, the system maintains both the drivers chosen speed and a programmed safe distance to the vehicle in front. This helps drivers reach their destination more relaxed, while the more even driving style saves fuel. In the Stop&Go version, ACC can even stop the car completely and restart the engine once traffic gets moving again after a brief pause.
Evasive steering support: Evasive steering support helps drivers avoid obstacles by way of specific steering interventions. This means the maximum steering angle is reached 25 percent faster. Prior to the maneuver, radar and video sensors detect whether the vehicles surroundings permit a swerve of any kind.
Automatic emergency braking (rear): It can be difficult to see small children when reversing. Automatic emergency braking (rear) is based on radar and ultrasonic sensors in conjunction with the ESP electronic stability program. At speeds of up to 15 kilometers per hour, the system automatically performs an emergency braking maneuver if it detects a person or an obstacle dangerously close to the rear of the reversing vehicle.
Construction zone assist: The construction zone assist system keeps the car within a narrower lane by way of steering corrections. To do this, the system takes data from video and ultrasonic sensors and calculates a safe distance on either side to vehicles in the neighboring lane as well as to the crash barrier. The video sensor also measures clear spaces ahead of the vehicle. This enables the system to provide a timely warning in case the lane in a freeway construction zone is too narrow for the vehicle.
Driver drowsiness recognition: Drowsiness at the wheel causes imprecise steering maneuvers and lots of steering corrections. The drowsiness recognition system constantly analyzes the drivers steering behavior by way of the steering angle sensor, so it can recognize signs that the driver is nodding off before it happens. It also takes into account factors such as the time of day and the length of the journey. Tired drivers are warned optically and acoustically, and are reminded to take a break.
Intelligent headlight control: When driving at night or in a tunnel, this system automatically activates the headlights. Outside of built-up areas, it will also automatically switch on the high beams as long as it does not detect any vehicles ahead or any oncoming traffic via the video sensor. This means the road ahead is always ideally lit.
Left-turn assist: When turning left involves crossing the other side of the road, it is easy to overlook oncoming traffic. The left-turn assist system monitors oncoming traffic using two radar sensors in the front of the vehicle. If the gap in traffic is too small to permit a turn, the system prevents the vehicle from moving forward. If a collision with an oncoming vehicle is imminent, the system will stop the turn in time by performing an automatic emergency braking maneuver.
Lane keeping support: The lane keeping support system helps drivers to keep their vehicle within a traffic lane. It uses a video sensor to detect the lane markings to the right and left of the vehicle. If the vehicles distance to the lane boundary falls below a defined minimum, the lane keeping support steps in. In vehicles with electric power steering, it steers gently but firmly in the opposite direction in order to keep the vehicle in the lane. In vehicles without electric power steering, it achieves the same effect by utilizing the ESP electronic stability program to brake individual wheels. Drivers can override the function at all times, so they retain control of the vehicle. If they activate the turn signal in order to change lane or turn, the system does not intervene.
Lane-departure warning: The lane-departure warning system alerts drivers to the fact that they are about to unintentionally drift out of the lane by, for example, causing the steering wheel to vibrate. A video sensor detects the lane markings ahead. If the vehicle risks leaving the lane unintentionally, the system sounds a warning. This enables the driver to change course in time. If the driver has activated the turn signal in advance of a lane change, the system sounds no warning.
Lane change assist: Radar sensors fitted in the rear of the vehicle constantly monitor the traffic situation up to 90 meters to the side and behind the vehicle. Prior to a lane change, the function warns the driver, for instance by lighting up a symbol in the exterior rear-view mirrors, if it detects another vehicle either approaching from behind at speed or already in the blind spot.
Traffic jam assist: The traffic jam assist system is based on the sensors and mechanics of ACC Stop&Go and of the lane keeping support. Up to a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the system automatically follows the vehicle ahead in heavy traffic. Not only does the traffic jam assist accelerate and brake, it also keeps the vehicle in its lane by way of steering interventions. This relieves drivers so they can focus on monitoring the system.
Side view assist: In contrast to the lane change assist with its radar sensors, the side view assist system uses ultrasonic sensors. These permit it to monitor the hard-to-see areas up to four meters to the side and just behind the car. When turning or changing lanes, for instance, the system warns drivers that there is a vehicle in their blind spot by lighting up a symbol in the exterior rear-view mirrors.
Road sign recognition: The road sign recognition system helps drivers to navigate the road sign jungle. By way of a video sensor, this system detects all relevant road signs including speed limits and no-passing warnings and presents them as information on the cockpit display. This not only ensures drivers are always informed of the current applicable speed limit, it also means they can be warned when they are exceeding it.
Predictive pedestrian protection: Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. The proactive pedestrian protection system uses radar or video sensors for early detection of pedestrians who step out into the road without warning and might be hit by the car. The system then reacts faster than any human to automatically perform an emergency braking maneuver. This either avoids an impact or at least reduces the speed of impact and hence the severity of injuries.
Predictive collision warning: This system uses a radar sensor to detect whether there is a risk of collision with an obstacle in the road. It then builds up braking pressure in an instant to prepare the braking system for an emergency braking maneuver. At the same time, it warns the driver of the risk of collision with either an optical or acoustic signal. If the driver then steps on the brakes, maximum braking power is available immediately and the braking distance is much shorter as a result.
Automatic emergency braking: If a radar or video sensor detects a potential obstacle ahead of the car, this system first of all prepares the braking system for an emergency braking maneuver and warns the driver. If the driver doesnt respond, the system performs a partial braking maneuver in order to increase the time available to react. As soon as the driver steps on the brakes, the system helps to avoid an accident by calculating the braking power needed and increasing the braking power applied should the driver brake too gently. If the driver also fails to respond to the partial braking maneuver and the system detects that a collision is unavoidable, it performs an emergency braking maneuver itself. This helps to greatly mitigate the consequences of the accident.
Electronic assistants turn parking into childs play
Smart trailer parking: Maneuvering a car and trailer into a parking space is truly an art. The smart trailer parking system offers a convenient way for drivers to control their vehicle and trailer from the curbside using a smartphone or tablet computer. It is based on electric power steering, the ESP electronic stability program, the electronic gas pedal, and a trailer hitch featuring a trailer angle sensor. Users can select steering angle and vehicle speed with an app. The driver can stand anywhere that offers a good view of the procedure.
Parking aid: Most accidents occur when parking. At speeds of up to ten kilometers per hour during parking maneuvers, ultrasonic sensors integrated into the bumpers constantly monitor the distance to any obstacles in the parking area. Drivers are also warned optically and/or acoustically about other vehicles that are parking. The closer the car gets to an obstacle, the more frequently the acoustic warning is sounded, until it becomes a continuous tone.
Remote park assist: With the remote controlled park assist system, vehicles park themselves as if by magic. All drivers need to do is press and hold a button on their ignition key or smartphone. This tells the vehicle to automatically maneuver itself into the parking space it has previously detected and measured using ultrasonic sensors. However, drivers retain responsibility for the parking maneuver. As soon as they release the button on their ignition key or smartphone, the system immediately stops parking.
Maneuver brake assist: At a speed of up to ten kilometers per hour, ultrasonic sensors monitor the entire area around the vehicle up to a distance of four meters. The system uses this sensor data to detect relevant and non-relevant obstacles and to calculate the path the car should travel. If there is a risk of collision, the driver is warned. If the driver fails to react, the system stops the car itself.
Park steering control: This system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect parallel or perpendicular parking spaces suitable for the vehicle in question and informs the driver. Upon activation, the system then automatically steers the car into the space. The driver remains responsible for accelerating and braking.
Rear cross-traffic alert: When reversing out of a perpendicular parking space, this radar-supported system detects vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians that are crossing behind the car up to 50 meters away. It then gives the driver an acoustic or optical warning when there is a risk of collision.

Prudential, Skilled Healthcare, CVS in Court News
A lawsuit accusing Prudential Insurance Co. of America of improperly collecting interest on unpaid veterans' life-insurance benefits was expanded to include claims of fraud.
The plaintiffs, seeking to have the case certified as a class action, or group, lawsuit, on behalf of 60,000 beneficiaries of military life insurance policies, filed an amended complaint yesterday adding the fraud claims and additional claimants. The case was originally filed July 29 in federal court in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The suit claims Prudential fails to pay beneficiaries in a lump sum as required by U.S. law and the language of the policies, instead encouraging them to leave the money in accounts with the company, which pays them a small amount of interest.
Prudential is believed to have made "half a billion dollars or more," the amended complaint said.
The plaintiffs, who are the beneficiaries of eight military life insurance policies, said Prudential puts death benefits into "Alliance Accounts," which pay only 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent interest. The company invests the money at a higher rate of return and keeps the difference, according to the suit.
Bob DeFillippo, a spokesman for Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial Inc., declined to comment on the suit. He said the company informs death-benefit beneficiaries of their payment options and that they can immediately withdraw all the money from their Alliance Accounts and invest it wherever they choose.
More than 100 insurance carriers earn investment income on $28 billion owed to life insurance beneficiaries, Bloomberg Markets magazine reported last month.
The case is Lucey v. Prudential Insurance Co. of America, 10-30163, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Springfield).
Clemens Pleads Not Guilty to Obstruction, Perjury
Roger Clemens, who won a record seven Cy Young Awards as the best pitcher in his league, pleaded not guilty to charges he lied to the U.S. Congress when he denied using steroids and other drugs to boost his baseball performance.
Clemens, appearing before U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington, waived a reading of the indictment before entering his plea. The judge set an April 5 trial date.
Clemens, 48, was accused by a federal grand jury on Aug. 19 of six counts related to obstructing Congress, making false statements and perjury. If convicted, he faces as much as 21 months in prison under U.S. sentencing guidelines.
The right-handed pitcher, known as "the Rocket," has repeatedly denied using banned drugs. The Federal Bureau of Investigation opened an inquiry in February 2008 after a congressional committee told Attorney General Michael Mukasey in a letter that Clemens may have lied under oath during the panel's probe of drug use in Major League Baseball.
The case is U.S. v. Clemens, 10-cr-00223, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).
Hedge Funds Seek to Block Payments From Ambac Insurance Unit
Hedge funds including King Street Capital LP and Stonehill Capital Management LP filed a motion seeking to prevent Ambac Financial Group Inc. from taking assets out of a bond-insurance unit.
The policyholders filed a motion in the circuit court of Dane County, Wisconsin, to stop Ambac Financial Group from siphoning off dividends from its Ambac Assurance unit or using net operating losses without compensating the subsidiary, according to a statement issued yesterday. The holding company has said it may file for bankruptcy.
Ambac, the second-largest bond insurer before the onset of the credit crisis, was stripped of its AAA credit ratings in 2008 after a surge in losses on securities backed by mortgages. In March, Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Sean Dilweg said he was splitting the insurance unit in two to segregate policies on which the bond insurer is expected to pay claims.
The policyholders own more than $1 billion in securities and other instruments insured by Ambac, according to the statement.
Calls after business hours to Peter Poillon, an Ambac spokesman, King Street Capital, and Dilweg's office weren't returned.
The case is In the Matter of Rehabilitation of Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corp., 10-cv-1576, Circuit Court, Dane County, Wisconsin.
Dubai Drydocks's Suit Against Singapore Tycoon Tan Dismissed
A Singapore court dismissed a suit by Dubai's Drydocks World LLC against Singaporean tycoon Tan Boy Tee for breaching an agreement tied to a S$2.4 billion ($1.8 billion) takeover deal.
Drydocks, which sued Tan for breaching a three-year non-compete clause, relied on "hearsay evidence," Singapore High Court Judge Lai Siu Chiu said in an Aug. 25 ruling, publicly released today. Dubai World's ship-repair unit is appealing the decision, according to the ruling.
Drydocks sued Tan in May after coming across a Feb. 4 Otto Marine Ltd. statement which said Tan had taken a significant stake in the Singapore shipbuilder as part of a share placement that raised S$95 million.
Tan, Singapore's 14th richest person, denied having an interest in the 11 million shares bought by his son in late January and sold on Feb. 14. Drydocks and DP World Ltd., the world's fourth-biggest container-terminal operator, aren't part of Dubai World's $23.5 billion debt restructuring.
The case is Drydocks World LLC v Tan Boy Tee OS387/2010 in the Singapore High Court.

Lehman Derivatives Records a 'Mess,' Barclays Executive Says
Barclays Plc had no idea how big Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s futures-and-options trading business was when it considered taking over the defunct bank's derivatives trades at exchanges in 2008, a Barclays executive said.
In a trial that resumed after a summer break, Elizabeth James, a director of Barclays's futures business, described Lehman's books as "a mess" in her testimony yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. James worked on Barclays's purchase of Lehman's brokerage during the 2008 financial crisis.
She said she received an e-mail from former Barclays trading executive Stephen King saying Lehman had "absolutely no idea" if it had sold $2 billion more options than it had bought, or whether it owned $4 billion more than it had sold.
The e-mail was dated Sept. 22, 2008, the day Barclays completed its takeover of the brokerage and a week after Lehman filed the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history. James was testifying in a trial to determine whether Barclays should pay Lehman as much as $11 billion for making an allegedly undisclosed "windfall" on the deal.
Lehman, its creditors and the brokerage trustee, James Giddens, brought the case against London-based Barclays last November. The disputed amount includes $4 billion in Lehman margin accounts at exchanges.
The trial pits the U.K.'s third-biggest bank against Lehman, which wants money from Barclays to pay creditors.
The cases are In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, and Giddens v. Barclays Capital Inc., 09-01732, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Rothstein Ordered to Repay $363 Million to Victims
Scott Rothstein, the former South Florida lawyer serving 50 years in prison for a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme, was ordered by U.S. District Judge James Cohn to repay $363 million of restitution to his victims. He announced the order at a hearing where prosecutors said they have recovered from $50 million to $60 million in assets for 320 investors and clients who lost money in his scam.
Cohn is seeking to divide cash and the proceeds of homes, jewelry, a yacht and Rothstein's interests in businesses seized after his arrest last November. Rothstein, 48, later pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges, admitting the Ponzi scheme financed his lavish lifestyle, bankrolled his firm and bought political influence.
The case is U.S. v. Rothstein, 09-cr-60331, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
Skilled Healthcare Appeals Court Order on Staffing
Skilled Healthcare Group Inc. said it will appeal a court order requiring it to comply with California's minimum staffing requirements at its nursing homes after failing to persuade a judge to declare a mistrial.
Skilled Healthcare, based in Foothill Ranch, California, was found liable July 6 by a Humboldt County jury for improperly staffing 22 facilities in the state. The $677 million verdict was the largest jury award in the U.S. this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.
"Settlement discussions in the case are ongoing," Skilled Healthcare said in a statement Aug. 27. No final judgment has been rendered in the case. The company said that its nursing facilities are properly staffed.
Humboldt County Superior Court Judge W. Bruce Watson, in an order filed Aug. 27, denied a motion for a mistrial, saying said Skilled Healthcare failed to establish juror misconduct in the case.
Skilled Healthcare had said a juror didn't disclose before trial that she had worked for the county Coroner's Office and had handled at least one corpse from one of the company's facilities. The juror came to know the daughter of the deceased, one of the plaintiffs in the case, the company said.
W. Timothy Needham, an attorney for the plaintiffs, didn't immediately return a call before regular business hours seeking comment.
The case is Lavender v. Skilled Healthcare Group, DR060264, Superior Court, Humboldt County, California (Eureka).

CVS to Pay $2.65 Million in Massachusetts Price Case
CVS Caremark Corp. agreed to pay $2.65 million under a settlement with the Massachusetts attorney general's office, which accused the pharmacy chain of overcharging public entities for prescription drugs.
CVS will pay Massachusetts and about 200 cities and towns in the state that were allegedly overcharged under the workers compensation insurance system, state Attorney General Martha Coakley said yesterday in a statement.
The agreement grew out of a state investigation of prescription-drug charges by pharmacies. Coakley reached similar settlements with Shaw's Supermarkets Inc. and the Stop & Shop Supermarket Co., her office said in the statement.
"The company has not admitted any liability or wrongdoing, and has agreed to settle this matter to avoid the time and expense of further investigation or legal proceedings," CVS spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in a statement.
Under the settlement, CVS will repay $1.3 million in overcharges going back to 2002 and an additional $1.35 million to the state general fund, Coakley's office said.
Time Warner's TBS Settles McDavid Suit Over Atlanta Team Sales
A Time Warner Inc. unit reached a settlement with Texas businessman David McDavid over the sale of the Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta Thrashers sports teams after McDavid won a $281 million jury verdict over a failed deal.
Turner Broadcasting System and a lawyer for McDavid confirmed yesterday that an accord has been reached on McDavid's breach-of-contract claim while declining to specify the terms.
McDavid persuaded a jury in state court in Atlanta in December 2008 that TBS broke a 2003 oral agreement to sell the National Basketball Association's Hawks and the National Hockey League's Thrashers to him. The jury award was upheld in March by a Georgia appeals court and a further appeal by TBS was pending in the Georgia Supreme Court.
Misty Skedgell, a TBS spokeswoman, said in a statement yesterday that the company chose to bring "this seven-year-long matter to a conclusion."
The trial case is McDavid v. Turner Broadcasting System Inc., 2005-cv-101902, Fulton County Superior Court (Atlanta).

Wolters Kluwer Says 'Explosive' China Legal Growth Fuels Sales
Wolters Kluwer NV, Europe's largest tax and legal publisher, said "explosive" growth in China's legal profession will drive sales increases of more than 10 percent a year in the country.
China will have about 2 million lawyers by 2020, from 170,000 today, propelling demand for legal services, Chief Executive Officer Nancy McKinstry said in an interview in Beijing yesterday. The number of regulations and compliance work will increase as China's financial markets come more in line with practices in the U.S. and Europe, she said.
The company began serving foreign law firms and multinational companies in China in 1985, when there was essentially no domestic legal profession, McKinstry said. China sales will increase more than 10 percent a year for the "foreseeable future," she said. Growth in China will be primarily organic, and involve partnerships with Chinese companies, because of prohibitions on foreign acquisitions of Chinese publishing companies, McKinstry said.

Now that Steve Yzerman has withdrawn his name from consideration for Canada's Olympic hockey team, there's another question for executive director Wayne Gretzky: what about Super Mario?
During the offseason, Gretzky all but said that Yzerman and Mario Lemieux could make up their own minds as to whether they'd want to play in the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy.
While scouting for Team Canada at Tuesday's Kings-Maple Leafs game in Toronto, Gretzky told The Canadian Press his stance hasn't changed.
''I haven't talked to Mario yet but I anticipate seeing him in Pittsburgh on Saturday and getting a chance to chat with him,'' Gretzky told The CP. ''But he can wait right until the end to make up his mind. He deserves that chance for what he's done in the game."
Lemieux told ESPN.com in late November that he wasn't sure he expected to be at the 2006 Winter Olympics, saying only the Canadian players who are playing well when the team is announced in late December should make the team, regardless of who the player is.
The Penguins' captain, who has already been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, said then that he would "absolutely" withdraw his name from consideration if he wasn't playing well or he didn't feel physically like he could compete in the tournament.
"There's too many good young players now to take a spot just to take a spot because you're a name. That wouldn't be right for Team Canada or myself. Whoever's playing the best. As I said, we've got so many great young players now in Canada that can do the job," Lemieux then told ESPN.com. "But if I am playing well and they want me there, I will be there for them, as well."
Although it's not really his call to make, Lemieux said he would be happy to give up his spot on the Olympic roster for Crosby, who leads all rookie scorers with 25 points in 21 games. "That'd be fine," Lemieux told ESPN.com. "That'd be fine with me."
According to The Canadian Press report, Gretzky, along with Kevin Lowe, Steve Tambellini and Marc Habscheid, began an Olympic scouting trip while his Coyotes are off until Sunday. The Canadian Press' report added that the group plans to go to New Jersey and Philadelphia and New Jersey again before meeting with Team Canada's coaching staff to narrow down its preliminary list of 81 potential players.
The deadline for the 23-man Olympic rosters is Dec. 22, but the team will make their announcement on Dec. 21.
''The only way to really get a handle on it now is for us to get together in person and talk about each player and what they bring to the table,'' Gretzky told The CP. ''So we'll do that this week. It's not going to be easy. All these players are good.
''You could pick 16 players and then add seven guys and your seven guys will be different than our seven guys but both teams could still be successful. Which is a great thing for Canadian hockey, it shows the depth that we have. To pick down to the final 23 is going to be tough.''
Yzerman pulled out of the running Sunday after making a call to Gretzky. Yzerman has three goals and five assists in 19 games this season.
''I talked to him on Sunday night,'' Gretzky told The Canadian Press. ''He called me after his game. He told me he had decided that it was best for him to step aside. I told him that was fine. I thought it showed a tremendous amount of class that he called.''

The tourist hotspot of Panama City Beach in northwestern Florida expected oil to reach its famous beaches within 72 hours, which would mark a new easternmost point for the oil washing ashore.
Oil sheen sits just off shore, more tar rolls in daily and local leaders all say the same thing, reports CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella. They're not getting the tools they need to stop it.
Special Section: Disaster in the Gulf
"We just got this boom out," says Orange Beach, Ala., mayor Tony Kennon. "It's not adequate. I'm not happy that we don't have an oceangoing skimmer here."
When a senior BP official showed up in Kennon's town to talk about the quick response Saturday, he was furious.
"It's really aggravating for someone to walk in here who's never been in our town and put on a pretty rosy picture when it's just not the case," said Kennon Saturday.
On Kennon's beach, tar balls sat for six hours Saturday before a clean-up crew arrived.
Out-of-work fishermen who want to help can't get through to BP.
"You make phone call after phone call," says fisherman John Passwater. "Sometimes you get through, sometimes you get voice mail that's full."
Alabama Gov. Bob Riley says protection plans fall far short.
"We have no protection in the bay," says Riley. "We have no protection at Dauphin Island. We have essentially the coast line here being under-protected."
Gov. Riley reached out the White House Monday to ask for more resources.

Week 129 Will Eisner Week by StevenHowardWatch

"My gosh . . . it's full of Awesome!"
Congratulation, Bro! You got a nice gallery and artworks that would be at a Museum.
What about a "Superboy" for this gallery... with me as a model, of course, ha ha ha...
beautiful man.. love the hatching! colors... everything!
This is amazing!
That is brilliant work!
Hah I like the flag spelling "wonder" and the columns spelling "woman"
Awesome pic
Awesome pic
Sexy and beatiful
Proportions are a bit off, but otherwise; stunning.
which parts mate? I'd be happy to take any critique on board, its how we learn as artists
What stands out the most, to me, are the legs. Excluding the fact that she's suppose to be an amazon, her legs are too short. And it gives the impression that she's a lot more top-heavy.
the look i was going for was to try not over exaggerate the proportions like we do in comic books from time to time and have a much more realistic look to her,using the premise that were about 8 of our heads in height and the hips fall roughly on fourth head down, you'll still find her legs are longer than her torso and head. Still I'll take it on board though.
Also, the hip-to-shoulder ratio is off.
she has larger shoulders much like an athlete (have a look at some professional swimmers) that's what i based i body type on
That's all well and good... But she still looks odd, in my mind.
Suitable pic for an International Women's Day 8.3.2013!
Well done.
This is great man.
Great job on integrating the name into the piece. I didn't even notice the "wonder" at first - and I like it that way!
cheers man i struggled trying to make not too visible but visible enough that you can still read it
Yeah Steve, this is just a beautiful piece.
I'm blown away by how truly gorgeous this is.


text: There was a really bad TV show on in either '89 or '90, it didn't make it a full season. It took place right after the end of the world, but it was a sitcom. It was billed, at the time, as a modern-day Gilligan's Island, which it was not. Things I remember: 1) One of the main characters survived the end of the world (which was, I believe, nuclear war) because he was in a Volvo. Safety ratings and all that. You know. That was one of the better jokes. 2) One character, a female, wanted to breed to rebuild humanity. 3) The title of the show is something along the lines of "Oops" I actually thought it /was/ "Oops" but can find NO record of the show anywhere. Google, tv.com, imdb, even Wikipedia have NOTHING on it. So, I assume, I have the title wrong. Anybody remember the real title, or can someone confirm (Preferably with a link, but anything's fine) that Oops is right but the show as just so bad that nobody's bothered to index it online yet?
