Athletes at Michigan play school, and do it well
The past four years have produced the best academic stretch for Michigan athletics since the NCAA began tracking the data 10 years ago.
A record 10 U-M teams received Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition Awards from the National Collegiate Athletic Association on Wednesday, the NCAA announced. The total is the highest for Michigan teams since the APR came into existence in 2004-05, and surpassed last year's total of six.
Football APR reaches all-time high
We need good news concerning the football program, well here's some:
The NCAA released its full annual multi-year APR report Wednesday, and Michigan football's new rolling four-year average score after the 2012-13 calendar sat at 975 -- the highest its ever been.
Here's to hoping the stabilization leads to results on the field starting this year!
Congratulations Men's Lacrosse: APR Perfect 1000
Congratulations to Michigan Men's Lacrosse which was one of six D1 Lax teams to record a perfect 1000 in the Academic Progress Rate. Great accomplishment for the STUDENT-athletes.
Also congrats to Villanova, Notre Dame, Dartmouth, Colgate and Bucknell who also scored a 1000. And Duke and Yale who came in at 997.
APR report released: Michigan BB (and others) honored
The APR Public Recognition Awards were released today. Michigan Basketball (both men and women) were on it, as were Men's gymnastics and Women's tennis. That means that these four teams were in the top 10% of their sport's Academic Progress scores. UM news release here: http://www.mgoblue.com/genrel/060513aab.html
As for football, we'll see where we rank when full data is released on the 11th, but we're obviously not in the top 10%. Four Big 10 teams made it in football: Northwestern, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Rutgers. ESPN has a little more on it here: http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/77947/three-b1g-teams-recognize...
Michigan's APR Scores
The latest APR scores were released today and Michigan did great:
The scores for Michigan were highlighted by the men's basketball team, which scored a perfect 1,000 in both the multi-year APR and the 2010-11 single-year APR. The men's basketball team was one of 10 Michigan sports to receive perfect APR scores for 2010-11, including the women's basketball team.
Michigan men's basketball is one of 11 schools -- and the only one in the Big Ten -- to have a perfect multi-year APR score.
The Michigan football team had a single-year APR of 984 and a multi-year APR of 943. The 984 was the highest Hoke has had as a head coach, dating to his time at Ball State.
For John Beilein, it was the third time in the past four seasons his team has landed a perfect 1,000 on the APR.
It's great to see Michigan sports doing so well, academically. The multi-year APR for the football team should go up, as the attrition from the transition from RR to Hoke finally settles down. Full APR numbers for all the sports are found at the link below:
Link (free): http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/michigan/post/_/id/4998/michigan-scores-well-in-apr#more
APR About to bite UConn
I haven't seen much posted here about APR lately. It appears this is about to hit UConn hard. Their request to the NCAA for a waiver allowing them to play in the 2012-2013 post-season has been denied. LINK: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/7562956/ncaa-denies-connecticut-huskies-request-apr-waiver-2013-postseason
Assuming their appeal is not granted, that would be huge. I don't understand all the APR implications, but if teams start to become ineligible for either the Bowl season or for the NCAA tourney, or both, that would be a significant penalty. If conferences voted not to give a financial share to ineligible teams, that would sting even more.
I don't know all the issues involved, but banning teams from the post-season for a failure to perform academically is a tremendous way to make athletes attending school less of a sham.

James Leffert is a Licensed Psychologist with offices in Framingham and Cambridge Massachusetts. View his HelpPro profile here.
People looking for a psychotherapist often ask me about my philosophy or theoretical orientation. Typically, a few buzzwords roll off my tongue: "cognitive-behavioral", "developmental", "systems orientation". However, these words don't convey what really happens when I collaborate with a client.
Let me share a story with you. Sometimes, metaphors speak more loudly than technical terms or psychological concepts.
The story of Balaam and the Ass is an ancient story from the Biblical book of Numbers. The main character is a wizard named Balaam who was known far and wide for his expertise. The king of Moab hires Balaam to curse the Israelites. Balaam knows he's not supposed to curse the Israelites but because the king promises to pay him well and perhaps also because Balaam likes playing an important role in world affairs, he agrees to do this. He saddles up his ass and sets out to the place where he can look down upon the Israelites and curse them.
Balaam is riding along the road when all of a sudden the ass swerves off the road into a field. Balaam takes up his whip and starts to beat her to get her back on the road. They continue on as the road travels along a narrow space between two high walls, and the ass swerves again, this time over to the wall so that Balaam's foot is squeezed against the wall. Again, Balaam beats her. Finally, where the area between the two walls is so narrow that there is no room to swerve, the ass goes no further, but simply comes to a complete stop and lies down on the ground.
At this point, Balaam is furious and beats the ass with a stick. Suddenly, however, a miracle occurs—the ass is given the gift of speech. As if there is nothing at all unusual about it, the ass opens her mouth and says to Balaam, "What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?...Look, I am the ass that you have been riding all along until this day! Have I been in the habit of doing thus to you?" And Balaam answers, "No." At this point, Balaam's eyes are opened and he sees that an angel is standing in the way, blocking their path, with a drawn sword in his hand.
What does this story have to do with psychotherapy? The way I see it, we all pursue various objectives in life. Often, we try to move in a certain direction but like Balaam, we keep running into obstacles. We try different approaches, sometimes on our own, other times at the urging of others, but we don't make progress. Often, this is what prompts people to seek help from a psychotherapist. At this point, we experience distress and pain. Others may be getting mad at us and we may get fed up with ourselves, and we (along with others) start beating up on ourselves, getting frustrated and self-critical because of our inability to make improvements. This is like Balaam flogging the ass, which represents that part of himself that is trying to propel him forward to where he wants to go.
The psychotherapist's job is to help the client (and others around him or her) to stop the flogging and open their eyes and discern the angel standing in front of the person, blocking his or her path.
The angel represents whatever hidden reasons are blocking the way.
Each of us has our own unique obstacle that the angel with the sword symbolizes. The point is that when we stop flogging ourselves (and, at times, stop letting others flog us) and look at our situation in a new way to discern what is actually standing in the way, we can then figure out a way forward. Sometimes it involves a change in ourselves, sometimes it involves locating a detour that enables us to take an end run around the obstacle, and sometimes it involves reassessing and modifying our objective.
This story helps me convey, through metaphor, my view of psychotherapy as a paradigm-shifting experience that helps us identify, make sense of, and eventually overcome obstacles in our lives.

The other day we went to the theater to see Gravity in 3D IMAX, which was so good! The entire thing down to their suits were CG and you would never know it because everything seemed so real. You actually feel like you are in outer space when you watch, its awesome and I highly recommend it. Before the movie started we browsed around Crate and Barrel for a little while.
I love all their stuff, but they are so expensive! A really cool thing I noticed while walking around the store was that a lot of the decorations had a homemade look or was even knitted or crocheted which is great because that means I can recreate things I see for a fraction of the price or even free.
One thing that caught my eye in particular were these knitted pillows, and they are fifty bucks each. I honestly couldn't imagine spending that much on a throw pillow, but they sure are pretty. Good thing I have a perfectly good set of knitting needles, piles of yarn at home, and a couple free evenings, so the other night I came up with a simple pattern and finished my very own pillow for just $4! I already had the yarn and needles on hand so all I needed to buy was the pillow form. This project is super easy perfect if you are just starting to knit. If you know how to do the knit stitch then you're good to go!
I am currently working on a couple more pillows now that look more like the ones from Crate and Barrel, which have a knitted front and canvas fabric back. These pillows will be even quicker to make up because only one side is knitted, so check back to see how they turn out.
1 skein Red Heart Super Saver in Pumpkin (worsted weight acrylic yarn)
US size 8 knitted needles
16 x 16 inch Pillow form ($7.99 for a pack of two at JoAnn's on sale)
Yarn needle
US size I crochet hook (optional)
Cast on 60 stitches
Knit across all rows until fabric measures 23 1/2 inches from cast on edge. Bind off and secure loose ends. My finished piece measured 23 1/2 inches long by 14 inches wide.
Fold piece in half, with cast on side and bind off side touching. It really shouldn't matter what side is the right or wrong side because garter stitch looks the same on the front and back, but if you have a side that looks better have it on the inside with the ugly side facing outward.
Stitch up the right side, secure yarn, and then stitch up the left side and secure yarn.
You can either stitch up the sides with a yarn needle or use a crochet hook and slip stitch the sides together, I prefer using the crochet hook because it gives a clean seam look. After sides are connected turn the cover right side out, and it should look like the photo below with the cast on and bind off edge open.
The knit cover will be a lot smaller than the pillow and thats okay because it stretches a lot. Stuff pillow into knitted cover, smoothing and filling out pillow corners. Use the crochet hook again to slip stitch the bottom sides of pillow together. This seam will be a little visible but thats okay because its at the bottom of the pillow and you cant really see it anyways.
This is the finished bottom seam.
Fluff up your pillow, karate chop the top center and place on your favorite chair!

Henry Cavill to star in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' sequel?
Henry Cavill, who is rumoured to be a part of the sequel of 'Fifty Shades of Grey', chose to stay mum on the speculations in a recent interview and added more fuel to the fire.
Henry Cavill
The 'Man of Steel' actor said, "Basically what I can say is I can't say anything about it right now," which added heat to the talks of him playing the role of Jack Hyde, Anastasia Steele i.e. Dakota Johnson's boss in the second installment of the EL James adaptation.
Notably, the role of Steele's boss has been described in the mommy porn as a man who can steal the hearts of millions of girls with his looks. And this, we think, can easily be achieved by the blue-eyed handsome hunk.

IN THE Visordown office, we breathe a collective sigh of dismay as winter starts to bite. With short days, low temperatures, wet, greasy, salt-ridden roads and poor visibility, it's not a season that's particularly kind to us but that doesn't mean we have to stop riding once conditions become a bit trickier.
While some riders tuck their bikes away at this time of year, for some, riding through the winter is a fact of life and if like us, you've got no intention of giving up your enjoyment of riding at this time of year, here are some tips for facing old man winter head on (and kicking him in the nuts).
1. Keep warm
Obvious, hey? This almost goes without saying but without decent winter kit, you're doomed. If you're cold, wet and suffering from numb hands and a cold core, you'll be distracted, your reaction times will suffer and you'll risk not being in proper control of your bike.
Buy the best kit you can afford and ditch the leathers – textile jackets and trousers will be most effective at keeping you dry and insulated. You want something with a thick, warm lining and look out for any technical materials that could fend off rain and road spray – a Gore-Tex membrane is always a good bet.
It's the same story with boots and gloves – you want waterproof boots and gloves with a warm, thick lining that'll keep your hands insulted against the wind and rain. It's critical you keep your hands well protected from the cold because once you get numb fingers, your fine motor skill suffers and coming off the motorway with little feel for how much pressure you're putting through the front brake lever is never a nice feeling. If you're off on a long journey, carry a spare pair of gloves with you.
Base layers will help keep you warm under your clothes and jacket/trousers. Merino base layers are comfortable and good at trapping heat, and there are plenty of windproof leggings and long-sleeved tops out there that'll give you an extra layer of defence against the chill in the air.
If you really want to stay toasty this winter, it worth investing in a heated vest, like this one from Keis. Honestly, get one of these and you'll wonder how you survived without one.
Before I ride I seriously check the local weather radar on-line. Get caught once and you'll never do it again. (unless you're really dumb) Winter storms move in very fast. Road salt, especially after it's been ground down into a powder, is murder on motorcycle air cleaners, chrome parts and chains. Painted surfaces don't fare much better. My biggest fear is black ice. In that condition you have NO control of anything. But when the conditions are right, I'm out there.
I drop her off at the station in the morning and if there is snow or ice I drive to work.
The bikes covered in ACF50 but some corrosion will get thru, but part of the fun is seeing how well different bikes cope with bad weather, and slagging off the bad ones....
Even above freezing, black ice can appear in low areas, and no one can ride through black ice. All motorcycle rubber is designed to work above 7C. Roads are filthy, light is poor. Winter is just not for bikes.
It'll take some really shite weather to make me pack the bike away, 4 months of sitting in a car AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!
Excellent advice Visordown. Clothing, Tech and Tyres are all available winter friendly these days, unlike Doucheriders obviously.
I don't do rain and I don't do ice. Anything else I'm fine with. My advice would be to get a cheap car for the really bad weather. I bought a little Toyota IQ. Cheap to insure, cheap to service and free to tax. On the really bad days its a godsent. As it only gets used on rainy days it needs nearly no maintenance. In 6 years its had 2 tyres (40 quid each) and new pads and discs on the front at a total of 60 quid.
Worth sharing. If your really want to enjoy rides in winter must have your riding kit that includes gloves, jackets and boots to give yourself a strong defense against cold.

Citizens of the Internet Aren't Going Down Without a Fight
As the 15th round of Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations draw to a close, the Internet freedom community is taking stock of what was said, and perhaps more significantly, what wasn't. Developments over the last few weeks suggest that the controversial treaty may be losing steam as public opposition gains momentum. The public outcry is starting to show the cracks in the push to criminalize our Internet use.

"There is no Democratic or Republican way to pick up the garbage."
This aphorism of municipal service, attributed to three-time New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, flies in the face of the hyper-partisanship that dominates America's political landscape. Its expression of unity in devotion to service stands in stark contrast to the scorched political earth that will be the legacy left to us after the major parties and numerous Super PACs are done this fall.
The preoccupations of our colleagues at the state and national levels are very different from those of municipal officeholders, even for those city officials who have strong partisan inclinations. Our state and national colleagues feud over questions of platforms and ideologies, assail each other to secure majorities in large legislative chambers, and hammer out (or fail to act on) sweeping acts of legislation that will in turn require months of rule-making and interpretation by bureaucrats before they can be implemented.
We struggle to satisfy Mrs. Jones, who is upset about the diseased tree in the right of way in front of her home, and Mr. Roberts, who wonders why the city hasn't forced his neighbor to stop his dog from baying at the moon each night.
We question ourselves, our officers and our citizens about the condition of police/community relations, agonizing over the death of a young man gone astray or an experienced officer caught off guard. These events are personal for us, not remote. We know the young man's family, the experienced officer's spouse.
We stand in the pouring rain watching as streets turn to rivers, helping homeowners pile sandbags. Later, we listen, chins propped on hands, minds wearied with details, considering what it is we can do to relieve this recurrent flooding and how we can afford to do it. Then we head home, navigating the detours around those flooded streets upon which we ourselves frequently drive.
We sit in pained silence as resident after resident castigates us for betraying them, destroying their neighborhoods, listening only to developers and their money. And we recognize in the seething crowd our colleagues or customers at the job that pays our bills, and members of our faith community or our children's soccer league.
On occasion, we may lash out against all of this. We may express exasperation with Jones and Roberts, saying we have bigger problems to address. Then we remember how Jones lives in fear that the tree will crush her home, that Roberts really is having a rough time sleeping since his wife died. Because we know them and we know the streets on which they live.
We get angry at staff for allowing the flooding. Then we recall that we haven't figured out how to give them the resources to solve it.
And we tell those angry citizens that our hands are tied, or we blame our colleagues or the attorneys for tying our hands.
The next day, picking up our paper or picking up coffee and a breakfast sandwich or picking up the friend of one of our kids or grandkids on the way to practice, we hear from those angry citizens, up close and personal, all over again.
Because we are municipal elected officials. We don't have the luxury of going far away to make our decisions, nor of doing partisan battle without regard for whether or not government works.
Our cities and their residents, business owners, property owners and visitors depend on us to take action so that the professional staff or the private or public contractors can get the job done, every day. The garbage must be picked up, the water must run clean, the unclean water must be treated. The street lights must light, the first responders must respond, and the parks must be clean and safe.
All of those things, and more, we must ensure get done.
Are there Democratic or Republican ways to do those things? Sure there are. I think Mayor La Guardia's statement is wrong.
But I also think the error was in the exact expression, not in the sentiment he meant to express.
There may be partisan or ideological differences about how best to pick up the garbage, or operate the police force, or manage the streets and sidewalks.
But elected municipal officials, Republican and Democrat alike, agree that the garbage should be picked up, the police should respond to calls for help, and the roads and sidewalks should be maintained.
Providing service is what unites us.
Because while there may be partisan ways of thinking about how best to serve the people of our cities, what we all see is a city of people who should be served.

The PEIK graduate certification program is built on a series of foundational courses at the graduate level, supplemented with a broad array of more advanced elective courses related to power and energy. 15 credit hours are required.
Features of the Graduate Certificate Program at PEIK
Structured to allow MS students to satisfy the requirements in a calendar year (MS Project Option). The certificate may also be completed as part of a MS thesis program or PhD program.
These advanced courses will cover both conventional and emerging areas, including smart grid systems, distributed generation, system protection, energy storage, solar power systems, biofuels, and others. A Power and Energy Experiences course will be offered, where students will do field study by visiting sites such as a wind farm, a solar energy facility, a landfill gas site, a coal power plant, a pump‐storage site, a net‐zero energy building, and other sites, where they will interact with the engineers who design or operate these facilities and learn first hand of the engineering challenges in these operations.
MS project topics (and thesis topics) will be available through industry, the Center for Applied Energy Research, and faculty members.
Within one calendar year, students can be prepared to enter the power and energy workforce with a strong foundation of power and energy knowledge, deeper understanding through electives, and practical experiences through their MS project.
The one‐year graduate certificate should be especially attractive to students who are interested in extending their BS program to a MS. University of Kentucky has a [University Scholars program] that facilitates and encourages students taking their BS to continue for their MS.
Required Courses and Electives
Proposed one-year graduate coursework
Courses beyond the four required courses and one elective course necessary for the certificate should be able to be used to satisfy the requirements for the student's graduate degree, as well as to provide depth in power and energy topics. Whereas the foundational core courses provide an introduction to topics, the power and energy electives courses give students in‐depth knowledge that allow them to design, analyze, or evaluate systems or devices associated with power and energy. These include courses targeted at topics in generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy, storage, monitoring, control, system protection, power electronics, energy‐efficient facilities design, cybersecurity and telecommunications issues for power systems, and others.
The curriculum includes three required core courses (9 credits):
- EGR 540 Power Economics and Public Policy: This is an overview class that provides background on: Tariff/rate structures, the role of public service commissions (public utilities commissions), economic dispatch and generation/load balancing issues, demand management, environmental issues (including emissions, water use, right‐of‐way, and waste disposal), regulated and deregulated markets, and business and environmental ethics.
- EGR 542 Electric Power Generation Technologies: An overview of generation methods, including coal, nuclear, gas turbine, hydro, solar, wind, and biomass. This course also includes an introduction to energy storage technologies such as pumped water, compressed air, flywheel, and battery technologies. An overview of emissions control technologies is also included.
- EGR 546 Electric Power System Fundamentals: This course is an introduction to power transmission basics, power flow, VARs, AC vs HVDC, NERC and ISOs and the larger interconnected grid, substations, control and stability issues, and distributed generation issues with the grid. This course will also introduce smart grid issues such as communications and cyber‐
These required core courses will provide a foundation in energy economics, public policy, generation, transmission, and distribution.
The graduate certificate requires an energy‐related elective, as well as an Experiences class:
- EGR 649 Power and Energy Experiences: Unique experiences through visit to a variety of energy‐related sites and presentations from topical experts. Each week there will be planned full day field trips to selected energy related sites, including a biofuels facility, pumped storage site, coal mine, power plant, power operations center, windfarm, landfill gas site, ISO, smart grid demonstration center, solar farm, high efficiency building, etc. More than simply tours, these visits will be prepared for in the coursework and will be integrated into the design of the learning outcomes. Lectures and assignments will draw on what was learned during the scheduled field trips.
The Experiences class is a signature course for the Institute's Graduate Certificate. It is intended to provide students with unique exposure to industry personnel and facilities. Almost all sites are within a four hour drive of the University, permitting each trip to be done within a day.
The students matriculating through the program will have an extensive and unique exposure to electric power and energy sites and industry experts as a result of these explorations. As with other aspects of the PEIK design, the course is intended to be multipurpose: in addition to providing a special perspective on classroom material, the visits will also provide another communication channel between students, industry and teaching faculty as well as providing industry an opportunity to meet and possibly recruit students in the program for co-ops, internships and positions upon graduation.

Sejuani Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi guys
I made this build for one reason, i went 23/3/7 as a tank, i know what you're thinking, i was just fed or i played against a team of noobs, well thats what i thought then i played again, 21/5/6, is it just me or is this abnormally good? your probably wondering how, well, now i'll tell you.
well sejuani is a special champ, she is a tank that can dish out some pretty heavy dps, that allows her to turret dive, then once you get the kill you flash out of turret range. her w while the champ is frosted is doing appr.130 dps, mixed with sunfire and you have 170 dps, thats some pretty strong stuff.
runes and masteries
now sejuani is naturally durable and FORD TUFF but when you add masteries and runes to it, she can be pretty hard to kill. i got a few triple kills out of what would have been a gank.
the sunfire, frozen mallet combo is the most important, when your e is on cool down, frozen mallet stacks with frost, and you can catch up and kill them with sunfire, your w with sunfire is devastating.
skill sequence
your w is your most important skill, it dishes extremely heavy dps, when the opponent is frosted, your health bonus from warmogs, frozen mallet, and sunfire not only help you live, they help make w stronger. w is most important max it first, then q, your e is just a slow, your q can do 220 damage, it realy helps creep farm.
summoner spells
flash is a very useful skill, you can use it to chase or escape, and when turret diving, you can get the kill and get out of rage quickly, ignite helps when your up against a life stealing, or healing opponent like Tryndamere or WW, it stops thier healing abilities from being as effective late game, and early game lets you get damage on them while they try to escape
sejuani wasn't always my favorite champ, i used to hate her, then last week i tried rushing a sunfire, then a frozen mallet and dominated, she is a very good champ, if you dont really like her, maybe this build will change your mind.
your votes help other players see this guide, please vote high!!!

One day in the fall of 1984, David Stern, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, asked Dave Checketts to take a seat. They were in Stern's 15th-floor midtown office, and Checketts, then 27, was beginning his journey into the cutthroat world of professional sports. With his blue eyes and thatch of dark blond hair, he didn't so much resemble the wunderkind president of the Utah Jazz as a ski instructor waiting for the season's first powder or maybe the Mormon missionary he once was.
Checketts was soon to go face to face with David Falk, the agent who was gaining a reputation as pro basketball's most ruthless negotiator. Falk's client, the Utah Jazz star Adrian Dantley, was holding out for more money, and Stern did not want Checketts to waltz into the negotiation thinking it would be easy.
''Look, I've been trying to think about how to give you some perspective,'' Stern said, according to one account. ''Let me just make a statement so you understand what you're dealing with here: David Falk is Satan.''
The warning, if over the top and meant as a joke, was clear. Dave Checketts would have to do whatever it took to succeed in the business and win at the bargaining table -- no rules, laws or ethics.
In the years that followed, Checketts would blend a disarming personality with a guile and intelligence in ways that would make him one of America's consummate sports executives. He is now the president of Madison Square Garden, overseeing more than 8,000 employees and eight corporate entities. The Garden is owned by Cablevision, the media colossus that holds sports, entertainment and retail properties. Its facilities include not only the Garden but also Radio City Music Hall, and it controls the cable TV rights to 9 of the 11 major pro sports teams in New York, including the Knicks and the Rangers.Continue reading the main story
Since becoming president of the Garden in 1994, Checketts has overseen the restoration of Radio City Music Hall, brought championship boxing back to the Garden and raised its revenues almost ninefold. But perhaps more important, Checketts has created an aura at the Garden not seen in 25 years, reviving the venue and making it -- like the revamped Grand Central Terminal and revitalized Times Square -- an important destination for New Yorkers and tourists alike.
''Dave has made us a lot of money,'' James Dolan, Checketts's immediate superior, says matter-of-factly. ''But that's not why I admire and like him. The Garden has a grandeur now that it had when I used to go to events in the early 1970's. Some nights, you can just feel the way it used to be. Dave is an integral part of that.''
But for many who have worked for him and against him, Checketts remains a paradox. While he is, on one hand, a winsome, charming 44-year-old who goes to church, spends Sundays with his family and still looks like he's approaching 30, he is also a monumental operator, the ultimate good old boy who chooses his friends well. If Checketts's ascent has been dizzying, so has his Clintonesque ability to maintain a Teflon reputation despite a trail of public missteps and private blunders.
He alienated Pat Riley, the coach who resurrected the Knicks; he fired a longtime friend over dessert; and he once yelled a comment courtside that many deemed borderline racist. But never was Checketts more exposed than last May, after he secretly met with Phil Jackson, the former Chicago Bulls coach, to discuss the possibility of replacing Jeff Van Gundy. He lied to Van Gundy about the meeting before finally confessing to it publicly. Somber and contrite, Checketts said that his pivotal flaw was in trying to protect everyone from the truth. Rather than becoming his nadir, the moment became an opportunity for him to show everyone how flawed and human he can be. He became imperfect Dave, losing his shiny veneer. His penance was merely a few days' public embarrassment. And then he moved on.
''He's got the capacity to define a mission and move toward it with a sense of relentlessness,'' says Michael Leavitt, the governor of Utah and a friend of Checketts for the past 10 years. ''That's how a guy from Bountiful, Utah, not only plays the Garden but ends up running it.''
Checketts's father, Clyde, was a tough-love Marine with big dreams, ''a hustler, someone who everybody always told me could sell ice to Eskimos,'' Dave Checketts says. Clyde worked the railroad and peddled adding machines and later mobile homes, stringing up a spotlight in any vacant lot he could find. Dave's younger brother, Dan, says their father entered into at least one bad land investment that bruised the family's finances. Janis Madsen, Dave's older sister, says: ''My father had this pie-in-the-sky mentality. He was always going to make it big. Dave took his vision, but he was more practical.''
David Checketts grew up in Bountiful (population 15,000 in the 1960's), a suburb 15 miles north of Salt Lake City. Basketball was a way of life for Dave and his brothers Dan and Larry, all of whom would play together into the night. Dave eventually grew to 6-foot-5 and though he never played in high school, walked onto the Brigham Young University freshman team without a scholarship. After a two-year Mormon mission in Southern California (Dan says the family's Mormon roots can be traced to Hyrum Smith, the brother Joseph Smith, the church founder), Checketts transferred to the University of Utah. He returned to B.Y.U. for an M.B.A., graduating as one of the top three students in his class.
Checketts went directly to Bain & Company, the Boston-based strategy and consulting firm. But soon came a meeting that would change his career. While exploring the possibility of purchasing the Boston Celtics for Bain, Checketts paid a surprise visit to Stern, then the league's chief counsel, at the N.B.A. office in Manhattan. ''At the time I met Dave in 1983, business analysis and sports were not used in the same sentence,'' Stern says. ''Here was this young kid with a winning personality, going on about strategic vision and the problems with our salary cap and drug agreement.''
When Stern met with Checketts, N.B.A. franchises in Denver and Utah were struggling financially, and Stern was contemplating merging the two teams. He decided to recommend Checketts to Sam Battistone, the Jazz owner at the time. The two met, and just three years after he left Utah, Bountiful's golden boy came home a Utah Jazz executive.
But that September, while he and his brother Larry were moving furniture into his new home, Larry fell off the back of the pickup truck Dave was driving. Checketts remembers pulling into the driveway before realizing that Larry, who had been holding onto shifting furniture, was gone. Circling back half a mile up the road, Checketts watched a group of people crowd around his brother, who had suffered massive head injuries. He died six days later, at 31.
''We don't know if he was overcome by fumes and blacked out or if he just lost his balance,'' Dan says. ''It still haunts Dave that he never saw him fall. Dave felt somewhat responsible.''
Six months after the accident, a still-distraught Checketts spoke to his father, now deceased, for the first time about Larry's death. ''I've never told you the real story about the accident,'' Checketts began. ''I described the whole scene to him,'' Checketts says now. ''Holding Larry. Him screaming my name. Telling him I was right there. I wanted sympathy from my father. I wanted him to just sit and shed a tear or two with me. And I wasn't getting any. He said: 'Look, you can't bring him back. My suggestion is that you decide to live your life as a tribute to him instead of going around acting like you deserve some special award for going through this.' My father never spoke to me gruffly, but he said, 'Larry would be ashamed if he saw the way you were acting now.''' In that moment, his father had taught him the harshest lesson of his life: move on, forge ahead, keep going even when your world is collapsing.
The well-coiffed man with the contorted face is spewing venom at the visiting player. At first glance, he could be any deranged basketball fan. But peer closer, as a writer for The Tacoma News-Tribune did in 1988, and you realize: it is the Jazz team president.
''Hey, Olden, you're leading the league in stolen VCR's!'' he yells to the Sonics center Olden Polynice, who is black and had admitted to stealing a pair of headphones while at the University of Virginia. It would have been considered a passing heckle had anyone else said it. But Bernie Bickerstaff, the Seattle coach, labeled it borderline racist. Checketts initially denied making the dig, insinuating the Tacoma reporter made it up because he was denied free tickets to the game.
Eventually, Checketts owned up to the remarks. ''I repeated a bad joke to my wife, that's all,'' he says now. ''I was young, the franchise was tasting success and a win meant everything to me. There was nothing racist about it. Bernie later apologized to me.''
Checketts left Utah in June 1989 after a power struggle with the new owner, Larry Miller. In six years he had transformed a club that had a 1,500-season-ticket base into one that played nightly before sellout crowds. But Miller could not grasp Checketts's growth ideas and would not give him the power and resources he so wanted.
Stern was the first person to call Checketts after his resignation. Within weeks, Checketts became president of the Denver Nuggets, but soon resigned because of financial complications within the franchise. Stern then asked Checketts to return to New York and become vice president of international affairs for the league. As such, Checketts organized the first N.B.A. game in Tokyo in 1990, but he missed running a team.
The one that needed him was the New York Knicks, in turmoil at the time, with Rick Pitino, the coach, and Al Bianchi, the general manager, feuding daily. As the casualties mounted, Dick Evans, then president of Madison Square Garden, offered Checketts the team presidency. As Checketts tells it, he called his wife on a frigid February afternoon in 1991 and asked what she thought of the offer. ''You can't do that; you shouldn't do that,'' Deb Checketts said.
''Why not?'' Dave asked.
After a pause, she replied, ''Because you don't have that New York edge.'' Walking up Fifth Avenue, Checketts sat by the fountain at the Plaza Hotel and began thinking, Am I going to do this to my family? He walked back down the street and sat in St. Patrick's Cathedral for perhaps an hour, pondering his future. His choice was to swim with the sharks at the Garden or travel to Australia and set up an N.B.A. office for Stern. As he left the cathedral, his dorsal fin began to show.
''People have called it ambition, but I have a different view,'' Checketts says with characteristic spin. ''I don't see it as ambitious as much as getting in a position to make a difference.''
In three years of running the Knicks, Checketts miraculously survived three owners, from Paramount to Viacom to ITT-Cablevision. When ITT became the object of a hostile takeover in 1994, Checketts again survived.
Bob Gutkowski, the Garden president at the time, did not. His supporters claim Checketts quietly undermined him, using Garden flacks to do the work. One former public-relations official admits to being asked by a person in top-level management to telephone New York newspapers with damaging information about Gutkowski and his staff. ''Dave didn't just want his job; he wanted his head,'' the person says, on condition of anonymity. Few former employees will speak about Checketts. Even if they weren't given nice settlement packages before their respective resignations, they're reluctant to take on a man they may meet up with again in the corporate world.
Checketts's tenure with the Knicks was anything but friction free. When Pat Riley came in 1991, the two men's egos and need for control never allowed them to coexist peacefully, though they tried. The turning point apparently came in 1994 during the Knicks' run to the N.B.A. finals. Riley ordered the pilot of the team's charter plane to stop in Reno, Nev., during a West Coast road swing. Mired in a losing streak, he wanted his team to blow off steam. Riley gave $10,000 of his own money to the players for gaming purposes. After they reeled off a franchise-record 15 victories in a row immediately thereafter, Riley asked Checketts for compensation, believing that reimbursement meant the franchise rewarded winning. Checketts refused. ''Riley has to understand that I'm his boss, and he didn't ask me permission to go to Reno,'' Checketts told Gutkowski. ''Dave, you're starting to take yourself too seriously,'' Gutkowski said. ''Be careful.''
Riley has nothing awful to say now about the man who waged a vicious public-opinion campaign against him five years ago. Though Riley was found to be negotiating with the Miami Heat while he was still under contract in New York, he swears Checketts had agreed to release him. ''Dave is a brilliant man, maybe the most brilliant guy I've ever worked with in a lot of areas,'' says Riley, who has not spoken to Checketts since he cleaned out his office in 1995. ''I just couldn't work for him. I didn't feel I could trust him. He loved going public with everything instead of talking to me.''
Not all of Checketts's relationships have been stormy, and though not by intent, he has profited from his many media friendships, especially with the New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupica. The two live in the same Connecticut town, New Canaan, have dined and played golf together and routinely pick each other's brains. In 1997, when Latrell Sprewell was with the Golden State Warriors and threatened and choked his coach, P.J. Carlesimo, Lupica vilified the player, calling the act ''a physical attack on what authority we have left in sports.'' By the time Checketts had brought the controversial forward to the Knicks, Lupica had changed his tune, writing, ''Professional sports is never the C.Y.O.''
Riley says that during his last days in New York, he learned of Checketts's final offer to remain through the columnist: ''Mike Lupica called me up and said: 'Dave means business this time, Pat. You've got to do something here.''' Asked if he felt Lupica was acting as a liaison on Checketts's behalf, Riley replies, ''I don't know, but it was odd as hell.''
Lupica says he has never tried to skew coverage at his newspaper in Checketts's favor, and of the conversation with Riley he adds, ''The idea that I was acting as a go-between as opposed to acting as a journalist is just part of this fictional world Pat created where everybody was out to get him.''
But it is Checketts's relationship with Stern that may invite more conspiracy theories. Checketts will say only, ''David Stern has been very helpful to me at different times in my career,'' and Stern denies the conversation about Falk 16 years ago. He says he may have warned Checketts at some point about the rigors of N.B.A. life but never used such strong language. Stern says, ''Ask the various owners, ask Jeff Van Gundy and the Knicks if I'm favoring Dave. The good thing about me is, all 29 teams think I'm conspiring against them.''
When the Knicks were in chaos last April, Checketts met the team president and general manager Ernie Grunfeld, his best friend in New York and a colleague for the past decade, at a quaint Italian restaurant in White Plains. For 90 minutes, they discussed the future of the team. They munched on biscotti and fresh fruit as most of the restaurant cleared out.
''Ernie, I'm sorry,'' Checketts began, ''but I have to let you go.''
''Yeah, right, Dave,'' Grunfeld said, laughing. After an awkward pause, Checketts looked at Grunfeld somberly and said, ''No, I'm serious, Ernie.'' The two debated the move for hours, and though they have spoken since, Grunfeld still cannot understand how a ''good man and loyal friend'' could terminate his services over dinner, as if he were a scorned lover brought to a public place in order to avoid an ugly scene in private.
''That's not cold blooded; that's respect,'' Checketts says. ''Cold blooded is to bring him in the next morning and say: 'You're outta here, a security guard is going to escort you to your office and you're gone.' What I did was not ruthless.''
Indeed, Checketts usually patches things up. He soothed the tension with Van Gundy last June by showing up on his doorstep at 11 p.m. ''I said: 'Jeff, I just had to come over. For everything else that's going on, for all the sideshows, we are in the N.B.A. finals. I just want you to enjoy this. We'll make all those other decisions later.'''
It is a Saturday in mid-February, and Checketts is calling about this article, worried about the emerging angle: how does a nice kid from Bountiful, Utah, grow up to be a conniving corporate shark in midtown Manhattan? He says he is unconcerned about the content, except for one pivotal area. He ''hopes'' his family and friends in Utah do not have to read about his occasional foul mouth, how it would not look right for a devout Mormon to be using profanity. This is about preserving image. Dave's image.
Checketts goes on about the dichotomy in his household when he was growing up: a father whose mouth sometimes needed soap and a mother who would not tolerate swearing. ''Look, I exist in a world that's pretty gruesome,'' he says. ''All I can tell you is this: I'm trying to keep my balance. Some people who know me might say, 'He's not a great example of a nice person; he's a malicious, tough and ruthless guy.' But when the day is done, as long as I've held to my values and been true to my family and my God, it won't matter what anyone else thinks.''Continue reading the main story

ESTORIL, Portugal, April 14 (UPI) -- Rafael Nadal improved his season's record to 15-8 Wednesday with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Goran Ivanisevic in the first round of the Estoril Open.
The match lasted just 65 minutes.
Nadal is having a strong season. At Miami, he defeated world No. 1 Roger Federer, and he was runner-up at Auckland in January.
His next opponent will be Richard Gasquet, who outlasted second seed Nicolas Massu of Chile, 0-6, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-5). Massu has dropped four straight ATP matches.
Also, French qualifier Florian Mayer cruised past Czech Radek Stepanek, 6-4, 6-2; Romanian Victor Hanescu defeated Belgian Olivier Rochus, 6-4, 6-0; and Olivier Patience of France dispatched Czech qualifier Jiri Vanek, 6-3, 6-2.
The women's draw lost its top two seeds -- Elena Bovina of Russia and Alicia Molik of Australia.

Compatibility testing is a critical QA task – that ensures that the product/software application executes as desired across a broad set of user/client systems and configurations. Proliferation of browsers, operating systems and devices have mandated organizations to ensure that all their software is rendered as intended across these platforms and to prevent expensive bugs/errors entering production/field/market.
In an ideal situation, one is expected to comprehensively test on 'all' the possible platform combinations prior to production, however, in reality, there are several constraints like time to market, budgetary and resource availability.
Indium has created a strong value proposition on compatibility testing through jump start kits around defect and failure patterns across a standard set of popular browser/OS and device combinations.
Indium's Compatibility Test Lab is also equipped with a set of popular devices in the market – that enable our clients to execute these engagements on a pay-on-usage model.

Thai yoga massage is more active than a basic massage. Rooted in yoga, ayurvedic medicine, and buddhist spiritual practice, this unique and complete system combines rhythmic massage, yoga postures, acupressure, energy meridians, gentle twisting, deep stretching, and meditation.
Traditionally, its performed on a padded floor mat instead of on a table. The receiver stays fully dressed and no oils are needed. In a session, I use all parts of the body to open energy lines (sin lines) and break-up toxins in the body. This is done by aligning the energies of the body while working on the tendons.
Thai yoga massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines. These movements help to adjust the skeletal structure, increase flexibility, recover vital energy, relieve muscular and joint tension and stimulate internal organs.
Thai yoga massage has a unique character that is both relaxing and invigorating. Since many of us tend to skip the stretching part of our exercise routines, Thai yoga massage is one of the best ways to complement a fitness regimen as it helps open joints and increase range of motion and flexibility. It releases tension, increases vitality and helps create wholeness of body, mind and spirit.
Nathalie is certified in traditional and medical Thai massage from Reidman, The International College for Complementary Medicine and has been offering this service to our clients for 8 years.

My Sister's Bones by Nuala Ellwood
Publisher: Penguin
Release Date: 1st November 2016
Buy: Hardback | Kindle
What They Say:
Kate Rafter is a high-flying war reporter. She's the strong one. The one who escaped their father. Her younger sister Sally didn't. Instead, she drinks.
But when their mother dies, Kate is forced to return home. And on her first night she is woken by a terrifying scream.
At first Kate tells herself it's just a nightmare. But then she hears it again. And this time she knows she's not imagining it.
What secret is lurking in the old family home?
And is she strong enough to uncover it…and make it out alive?
My Sister's Bones is one of the twistiest books I've read this year! The plot above really doesn't give much away, and neither does the book. It very much keeps its cards close to its chest. And the surprise reveal with only a little way to go was genuinely shocking, because in all the events leading up to it, you're kind of convinced Kate is cuckoo. It all adds up – she's suffered severe stress/trauma during her time as a journalist, and you kinda feel it's all boiled up to the point where she's seeing things that aren't really there.
It was honestly impossible to see where the book would go next and there's a few pretty surprising twists and turns that you won't see coming. The book is told in three parts, and I was never sure what was coming next. Would Kate truly unravel to the point of no return? Was she ACTUALLY seeing a little boy? Would her sister Sally ever be anything but a drunk mess? It was so hard to trust Kate's narrative, though, because you know she's suffered lots and lots of trauma, and with everyone around her questioning her – even the police! – you kinda get to thinking that she must be untrustworthy, it must all be in her head. But you keep reading anyway because the narrative was so gripping.
My Sister's Bones is definitely one of the most surprising, shocking books I've read. I didn't see the ending coming, I didn't expect it to pan out that way at all, and you know when you think you know a character and then it's like you didn't know them at all? That's the scariest part. Nuala wrote her characters SO WELL, so convincingly! And you just kind of have to back up and wonder if there were signs, if you missed something? It was the greatest fake-out in the history of fake-outs. Nuala Ellwood is a cracking writer, she had me for a good'un.

Unanswered: HELP!!! - Connecting to informix database...
Hello Everyone,
I have big informix database problem.....
I would like to access an informix database located on a Unix box from a windows box, so that I can query info in the informix database. I have been told to use a 3rd party driver, the informix 3.81 32-bit driver can do this, as well as, the datadirect-technologies odbc informix 4.1 driver. So my first question is.... is this even possible? Every time I try to connect it says "connection refused", I have specified a user and password on the unix box. I am not sure what is wrong.
On the unix box, named "strata" my sqlhosts file has the following line:
strata sesoctcp strata se_tcp
On my windows nt box these are the settings:
services file I have added the line:
se_tcp 1526/tcp #Informix server
in my hosts file I have added the file
19.72.24X.XXX strata
I have verfied there is a tcp connection by pinging strata, and i am able to get replies. Thus, I am connected.
My settings in the Datadirect driver are:
DataDirect Informix 4.1 Driver Settings:
General Tab:
Data Source Name: Test Connection
Description: Informix Connection
Database Name: strata
Connection Tab:
Database list: <blank>
Default User Name: <username>
Hostname: strata
Service Name: se_tcp
Server Name: strata
Protocol Type: sesoctcp
Advanced Tab:
Cursor Behaviour: 0-Close
Cancel Detect Interval: 0-None
Enable Insert Cursors: unchecked
Get DB List from informix: checked
Application using threads: checked
Trim Blank From index name: checked
When I click test connection it always says: attept to connect to database server (strata) failed, connection refused. Is there something else i need to do on the unix end aside from specifying the sqlhost file. User permissions, installing something else, etc??? I have tried just about everything.
If there is anyone out there who could help.. with anything... for the love of all creatures great and small, please reply to this post.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Joe,
first thing to do... Relax...
couple of questions though...
what is the Informix database Version?
and what is the Unix platform.
Althought the answers to these question are not really required to answer your posting, they are just nice for completeness...
You are definately on the right lines with the requirement for an ODBC Driver, however there are a few alternatives out there to data direct drivers, for instance have you heard of OpenLink?
Have a look at http://www.openlinksw.com
can you install 3rd party software on the Unix Platform? If so I recommend installing the OpenLink Multi Tier components, at least if you hit problems you will receive better errors to work with other then "connection failed"
If not then Single Tier is the option for you, but you will need the Informix Client networking layer installed on the client machines using the Driver.
Multi Tier comprises of a Server and Client installation. The Server installation is made up of a Request Broker and a database Agent (these are the important bits anyway). The Client is the ODBC Driver.
the way it works is you create your DSN as normal on the Client machine but the connection goes via the OpenLink Request broker, this eliminates the need for the Informix Client Networking.
With minor configuration required on the Server installation of OpenLink such as setting the following variables.
(these are set in a specific file called oplrqb.ini which is the rulebook for the Request Broker).
It may sound confusing, but once you have it installed, should you choose to install it. Then everything should become clear... If not, just post here again or contact OpenLink support directly, and we will get you up and running as quickly as possbile.

GOP platform recycles transpo policy ideas
With help from Andrew Restuccia and Eric Wolff
PLUS ÇA CHANGE: With the Republican National Convention underway, the GOP has released its platform, with plenty of recycled ideas for shifting transportation funding and services to the private sector and overhauling environmental and labor laws.
Story Continued Below
The platform calls for stripping the Highway Trust Fund of "programs that should not be the business of the federal government," like spending on mass transit. It proposes discontinuing the federal transit program, changing parts of the law governing environmental reviews and repealing the Davis-Bacon Act. The Republicans also come out against an increase in the federal gas tax — a political nonstarter anyway, some members of the GOP would say, despite plenty of red states having hiked their own gasoline taxes. They advocate for privatizing rail service in the country's Northeast Corridor (which also appeared in the 2012 GOP platform), as well as shifting high-speed and intercity rail to private providers.
You down with P3s? The party's platform suggests allowing public-private partnerships to upgrade the nation's aging infrastructure. "Recognizing that, over time, additional revenue will be needed to expand the carrying capacity of roads and bridges, we will remove legal roadblocks to public-private partnership agreements that can save the taxpayers' money and bring outside investment to meet a community's needs," Republicans wrote. And they call for reversing the Obama administration's decision to allow the TSA to unionize.
What's out from the 2012 platform? Thinly veiled opposition to a vehicle-miles-traveled user fee to help fund highway construction.
GETTING TO KNOW PETER NEFFENGER: It has been just over a year since TSA was turned over to the leadership of Peter Neffenger, a quiet and polite guy whose name didn't ring a bell for many in the transportation security sphere upon his nomination. Unlike his chief — the famously sociable Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson — Neffenger isn't known for sharing many personal anecdotes. But the TSA administrator just might be opening up.
'Odd' upbringing: During a discussion at the Wilson Center last week, Neffenger talked a little about his childhood, explaining that he "grew up with an odd set of parents." And the story goes: His pop was a chemical engineer and inventor, whose garage was filled with big vats that could have melted your fingertips or "killed most of the neighborhood," and who "started and lost a couple of ventures." His mom was a musician — a creative spirit who probably never cooked a meal in her life. So Pete (as his friends call him) and his seven siblings "were encouraged to just think differently about things," the administrator said.
Not an SNL skit: Neffenger also joked about some painfully down-to-earth experiences at TSA checkpoints: "All of you have had the same experience I've had. You get in line. It's single-file. … If you are unlucky like me, you're behind the five people who left their bags there for you. But they're already gone, and you've got to get them to engage the system. If you're also like me, you're behind the guy with the combat boots on and the five gold chains, who didn't think about the fact that he had combat boots and five gold chains on. And he's got to get those off. And you're stuck."
Capitalizing on crisis: The administrator was unlucky enough to assume his role as TSA head right after the agency was outed for failing in 67 out of 70 covert tests. But Neffenger says news of those failures was the fire the agency needed to make some real changes. "You can't allow yourself to just let the crisis die off, wait for the news reports to go away, hunker down and say: 'Well, maybe they'll stop shooting at us soon,' and then slip back into your old ways," he said. "While the crisis is hot, you've got to move a lot of things really fast. And that's what we tried to do."

WHAT OUR INBOX SAYS ON FAA OVERHAUL HOPES: Last week we asked MT readers: Are you hopeful or doubtful about the prospect of enacting an FAA revamp by the new September 2017 deadline Congress just set? And we got some smart answers from some in the aviation world.
A sassy response: From a CEO of one of the nation's international airports: "Regarding the optimism meter, I would offer that unless Rep. [Bill] Shuster decides to have a more open process to continue to develop the concept of an ATC Corporation, that he is just pushing the crash down the runway and we will be no further along at this point next year, one way or the other. Aviation is at its core based on safety, and as a result stakeholders are wired for collaboration. And that is exactly what has been missing in Rep. Shuster's approach. Instead he wants to arm-twist and wheel-and-deal his way through this and maybe that would work in other areas, but not in aviation. This is not like selling cars to people."

THE CAFE IS NOW OPEN: The Obama administration's ambitious goal of getting cars and light trucks in the U.S. to go farther on a gallon of gas is going to come up short thanks to historically low prices at the pump setting off an SUV-buying frenzy among consumers, Pro Energy's Alex Guillen reports. In a draft technical report released Monday, the EPA and NHTSA project that the mpg target will end up between 50 and 52.6 miles per gallon by 2025, short of the agencies' 2012 goal of 54.5 mpg. Regulators say automakers can still comply with the current standards by making the same types of improvements that have already boosted fuel efficiency throughout the fleet, like improving how engines burn gas and the aerodynamics of the chassis.
Auto manufacturers see a prop: But the report kicks off a midterm review process that could spur changes to the standards for 2022-2025 model year vehicles, and most manufacturers are hoping the report reinforces their arguments for some wiggle room. In a statement, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said the "very aggressive requirements" for 2022-2025 "will be a daunting challenge to meet. … Absent a vigorous commitment to focus on marketplace realities, excessive regulatory costs could impact both consumers and the employees who produce these vehicles."
RESEARCHERS TOUT BENEFITS OF SEMI-AUTOMATION: Crash-avoidance technology in light-duty vehicles could prevent or reduce the severity of 1.3 million crashes every year, according to researchers at the Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering. The researchers looked at partially automated technologies — collision warning, lane-departure warning and blind-spot monitoring — and found they could stop or mitigate the severity of over 10,000 fatal crashes.
The study compared the price of installing safety technology in cars to a calculated annual reduction in crash costs. By a conservative estimate, the U.S. would see a positive net benefit of $4 billion, or $20 per vehicle, every year. "Although $20 per vehicle is small, the researchers believe that future improvements in technology and lower prices could lead to larger net benefits over time," according to a release about the study, which was funded by Carnegie Mellon's Technologies for Safe and Efficient Transportation University Transportation Center, the National Science Foundation and the Hillman Foundation.
COMING SOON: TESLA MASTER PLAN: Meanwhile, in the Autopilot saga, Elon Musk went on a bit of a tweetstorm (tweet shower?) Sunday night. The Tesla CEO posted: "Promising call today with @BoschGlobal, maker of our radar sensor. Looks like significant improvements possible via OTA software update." He tweeted that MobilEye was also helping and later added: "Tesla customers are v smart & don't want media speaking on their behalf abt Autopilot. Recent poll: 0.0% want it disabled — not 0.1%, 0.0%." He told followers to expect a "Tesla (master) product plan" soon, after a SpaceX launch. (h/t Automotive News)
QUESTIONING CHINESE RAILCAR INVESTMENT: Reps. Peter DeFazio and Randy Forbes are done collecting signatures on their letter calling on the Treasury Department to investigate two Chinese companies trying to acquire a U.S. railcar manufacturer. The document, which is now off to the Secretary Jack Lew, has the support of 55 House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, who argue that the two Chinese railcar manufacturers are able to underbid private competitors because of their ties to China's government. "In effect, American railcar manufacturers and its associated industries, such as steel, are now competing against the resources of the world's second largest economy," the letter reads.
N.Y., MASS. AGs TO ANNOUNCE VW 'LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION': New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey will announce a "major law enforcement action" today at 12:30 p.m. A Schneiderman aide told our friends at Morning Energy that the announcement is related to the AGs' investigation into Volkswagen's use of software to cheat emissions tests. Reuters reported late Monday night that those states and Maryland intend to file fresh lawsuits against the automaker today.
VENABLE NABS AUTONOMOUS CAR CLIENTS: Several tech and auto firms have hired Venable to lobby for their self-driving-car interests. Pro Technology's Tony Romm reports that the firm has been tapped to focus on the "development of automated vehicle policies and regulations" for Google, Ford, Uber and other major companies. The Venable team has some NHTSA alums, including former NHTSA Administrator David Strickland and Chan Lieu, who used to be director of government affairs, policy and strategic planning at the agency.
HIGHER-SPEED RAIL — BIGGER IN TEXAS? FRA and the Texas DOT released a draft environmental impact statement Monday of 10 possible scenarios for improved rail service - including higher- and high-speed options - for an 850-mile corridor stretching from Oklahoma City to South Texas. The effort has been launched to address an anticipated population boom and existing congestion along the I-35 corridor that parallels the study area. According to FRA, more than 10 million people live in that region right now, and population is expected to increase by 39 percent in Texas and 25 percent in Oklahoma City by 2035.
