The following was provided by my friend Jake Kouns of Risk Based Security, a leading-edge security and threat intelligence company. that provides comprehensive vulnerability and data breach intelligence services. Thanks Jake.
We are pleased to release our Data Breach Quick view report that shows 2013 broke the previous all-time record for the number of exposed records caused by reported data breach incidents. The 2,164 incidents reported during 2013 exposed over 822 million records, nearly doubling the previous highest year on record (2011).
Although overshadowed by the number of exposed records, 2013 is also ranked #2 in total reported data breach incidents, just behind 2012. "When you analyze the data breach activity in 2013 it's hard to find any bright-side, said Barry Kouns, CEO of Risk Based Security. "Four of the "Top 10" data breaches all time, were reported in 2013, including the top spot. "

Hogwash! A militia iS all the a ble bodies men between certain ages , usually 15 - 60. Armies were composed of selected men from the militia. A state is a political unit with absolute soverainty, such as Germany or Ohio before the civil war. Now,go read the second amendment again.

Excellent article with its historic ties. This assumes that all able-bodied men (and willing women), of a certain age, who comprise the various States´ "militia" of the people, have their own private military grade firearms and are proficient in their use.At one time, the various local elements of "the militia" would be mustered and inspected to ensure their were ready and properly equipped. The citizens of Lexington and Concord and those along The Battle Road would be the most familiar to us now.It is a similar system to what has kept Switzerland free.Whether we are mustered from time to time, and therefore "well-regulated" or whether we are not mustered, able-bodied citizens retain their right to keep and bear arms.It´s the difference between a Citizen and a Subject or a Slave.

It is my belief that we should have universal conscription at age 18 with no deferment whatsoever, and that everyone be trained in the use of firearms and general military discipline for two years.Those that conscientiously object can go wipe butts in a VA nursing home for two years instead.We would accomplish many things.We could station a goodly portion along the Mexican border. They would get good experience dealing with infiltration and interdicting them- in a desert environment.It would be a method of breaking up gangs.They would all know how to handle a firearm, and in the process be subject to two years of non-liberal, non-union education.Many would take the unlikely turn to republicanism.

Hi folks. This 91 year old military veteran from 1942-1972 has a personal interest in the 2nd Amend. In researching my ancestors (paternal), I learned that 10 generations ago, my grampa was fined 1/2 shilling for having a dirty musket!. I am sure that he must have just returned from a hunting trip, where he almost saw a rabbit. Oh my.

I think the author of the article is guilty of what he accuses others of in his second sentence. Nevertheless, the article is interesting.If you go to the NRA museum in Virginia you´ll see a lot of the state constitutions that preceded the US Constitution and in many cases they define the militias as being the people - not a pre-organized army of some sort. Taken in that context, my sense is that the term "militia" at the time meant the general population - albeit a population capable of organizing quickly into a fighting force - and the better argument is the one that conservatives have today on the meaning of the second amendment.Another thing - lots of state constitutions grant more explicit and perhaps broader gun ownership rights than does the US Constitution. People should pursue state constitutional amendments guaranteeing gun ownership if they want to protect against federal laws. The Constitution´s Supremacy Clause can dilute their impact but the words of state constitutions should not be overlooked as another barrier to tyranny.

A well written article that makes the real point of the 2nd Amendment. I know nothing about making a long-bow so I can´t argue whether or not it takes 4years. I also know that hitting what you are aiming at with a bow is not an easy skill to learn as I hunt with a compound bow. But that´s not even the point. The real point of the article can be summed up in Dr. Suzzana Hupp´s testimony before congress on the 2nd amendment back in 2010. It is a compelling testimony and I encourage all to view it. The purpose is not to protect our rights to hunt. The real purpose is to protect the citizens from their government.

The Second Amendment means we get to shoot back.I personally believe that gun ownership should be mandatory....and the "list" that gets madeshould be composed of those who opt out of such.Tables turned, and the gun ban crowd will shut up.

As a youth, I belonged to an archery club. We made our own bows, usually from lemonwood staves purchased through an archery supply catalog. We made our own strings of linen thread or sometimes bought hemp string on a roll. We made our own arrows out of birch or cedar dowels and turkey feathers. The point is, it may well take four years to "make" a bow, if you cut and age the wood, then shave it into shape. I think the English used Yew but I may be wrong. Just as making a pencil would be easy if someone handed you all the components, making a bow wouldn't take long if you have the tools and are handed the components. It only took me a minute to "make" my present Bear Grizzly, but Amazon helped me out.

I just returned from a week in Mexico where I have some customers (soon to be most of my customers). I feel so intensely naked without a handgun that it is unnerving. There is a movement in Mexico to change gun policies so people can protect themselves. I hope so, they are left nearly helpless against the gangs and the same would be true here with out the 2A.

#3, back in the day it was written, the phrase "well-regulated" referred to someone who knew their trade and was competent, such as, "The blacksmith, Mr. Jones, is well-regulated". So a "well-regulated militia" was men who knew their ´trade´ with regard to militia weapons (including artillery at the time) and tactics, and could hit what they aimed at. It had nothing to do with government control or bureaucracy of any sort. The men who wrote it were not in the mood to give the federal government powers it couldn´t be trusted with, given what they had just gone through.

..and of courses everyone forgets the Third Amendment - which was really a ban on having a standing army in times of peace. It had nothing to do with putting soldiers in people´s homes.

Click Here if you Like this Comment 21 persons like this.
Tracing back to the situation in England is useful. The author makes important points. It was unique that the English barons trusted their common men to own the powerful longbows, and that they wanted the common man to be armed for the common defense of the country. The longbows had shockingly high pull weights, 100-150 lbs - much doubted in modern times, but verified from bows recovered from Mary Rose. Without years of training and continuous work these bows were useless, the untrained could not pull them or hit anything.Developing this trust of the commoner to have weapons powerful enough to kill the armored nobles was a unique situation. These commoner archers enabled the great victory at Agincourt which slaughtered the French nobility and ultimately shifted the power towards the people, recognized by the Magna Carta.The concept of trusting the populace with powerful military weapons (as the musket was in the day) is now limited to a few countries, the US and Switzerland may be the only remaining countries.We must guard this right closely, it is exceedingly rare in the long sweep of human history that the commoner can be armed and have the right to protect himself. If lost, it will not soon return.

Most of the arguments about the Second Amendment made by both sides revolve around a single assumption - that the Second Amendment grants a citizen the right to bear arms. What both sides fail to understand is that the Second Amendment grants no such right, in fact, the Constitution grants no rights at all!What the Constitution does do is identify what powers the people grant to the government. This is the whole purpose of the Constitution - to tell the government what it can and cannot do.That is why Marxists Democrats like Obama hate our Constitution because it is a limitation on Government not a limitation on We The People.....the right to keep and bear arms was considered a ´´Natural Right´´ by our forefathers.Read the Second Amendment closely, it doesn't say the people have a right to bear arms but rather that thegovernment cannot infringe on that right.I don't know about you, but I sure as heck don't want to live in a country where the only ones with guns is the government.Amendment IIA well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.Thet's it, that is the whole 2nd Amendment...where does it say that the government gives us any right? It doesn't, it only says that the government cannot infringe on our rights.

Every year at AirVenture Oshkosh, more than 10,000 aircraft are flown into Wittman Regional Airport, and typically about 2,500 of them are categorized as showplanes—those inspected by judges during the week for coveted Oshkosh awards. They compete in separate homebuilt, vintage, warbird, ultralight, seaplane, aerobatic, and rotorcraft categories.
Judging at EAA AirVenture is governed by the EAA Judging Standards Manual, a short (20 pages for all Divisions) booklet that sets the guidelines for the volunteer judges to follow.
And, quoting from the manual, please recognize that judging is a voluntary activity with the only rewards being the satisfaction of a meaningful job well done. The next time you see a group of judges gathered around a showplane on the flightline, remember they're all volunteers, and they deserve our thanks!
We asked several volunteer aircraft judges what they feel are the five most important things a person needs to know before having their aircraft judged at Oshkosh. They include Dave Clark, Vintage Aircraft Association chief judge; Bob Reece, chairman, EAA Judging Standards Committee; David Juckem, vice-chairman of Homebuilt Judging; and Eric Paul, chairman, Warbirds Judging. Here are their tips:
Dave Clark, Vintage Aircraft Association Chief Judge:In the vintage judging, the aircraft are judged on the basis of their "authenticity" and the "workmanship" of the restoration of the aircraft. We always tell the aircraft owners that this is the way to accumulate the most points, if that is your goal, however, you restore it the way you like it.
Bob Reece, chairman, EAA Judging Standards Committee:
David Juckem, vice-chairman of Homebuilt JudgingEvery judge develops his own criteria of what they look at and for. That list may even change over time; the list below is mine for now.
Eric Paul, Warbirds
Chief Judge
Finally, it is strongly recommended that
you read the section appropriate to your aircraft in the 49-page EAA
Judging Standards Manual. To view or download the entire manual or just
the section pertaining to your needs, click here.

This is a "machine-selection optional" part.Please choose a vehicle to see products specific to your machine,select a product below.
User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
Few things can ruin a ride faster than a flat tire due to a worn-out tube. Don't let flats get you down; new tubes from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC are the perfect way you get you back on the track or trail.
We take great pride in the dirt bike tubes we choose to carry. But you'll find more than just that here; we carry everything from rim strips to valve stems to mounting lube. We don't just carry the tubes; we carry the accessories you need as well.
You'll see major brands here that you can trust to provide a quality product:
There are quite a number of options, so regardless of what your riding needs dictate, we've got something here for you. If standard tubes aren't sufficient, try out some of the heavy duty (or even ultra heavy duty) tubes that we carry. We even have foam tubes from Michelin and the Tubliss (tubeless) tire system from Nuetech. If you find you have a constant problem with flats, either of these two products can do wonders for you.
Take a look at our selection of dirt bike tubes now. You'll be delighted to find just what you want – and at the lowest prices in the industry!

Heavy duty for rooted and rocky trail without the extra addition of unsprung weight as some other heavy duty tubes. I have spoon changed two tires on this tube and no punctures yet.Read All Reviews
Chris in GA
On a 125 2-stroke weight (especially unsprung weight) is everything. Many people dont often consider the weight of tires and tubes. Thick tubes are great for the trail, but they are heavy. For MX only, this is a nice balance of protection to weight. These get the job done with minimal weight compared to others.Read All Reviews

Eat your competition for lunch
Minimize their choices to maximize your sales
In my experience, three is a good number of choices for a simple tool-buying decision. More complex equipment-buying decisions are sometimes best served by giving only two choices. Give your customer two choices, with a moderate price difference, and usually more than half will buy the less expensive choice. (Notice how by restricting choices to only two, you are pushing more of your customers down to the lower end of the spectrum.)
But that's preferable to too many choices. And, if you show your customer just one tool, you'll likely find yourself selling even less. That's because you've now limited the customer's choices too much. The natural choices now are to buy or not buy. In most cases more will choose not to buy than if given two choices.
Next time you're "toting and promoting," run a field experiment for me. In half the shops, bring one tool; in the other half, bring two: a good and better version of the same tool. You'll likely find that you'll sell more when you offer two choices. (Email email@example.com and let me know what happens for you.)
Phil Sasso is president of Sasso Marketing Inc. (www.sassomarketing.com), a technical marketing agency specializing in tools and equipment. If you ever plan to be near Franklin Park, Ill., drop him a line and he'll let you buy lunch at Gene & Jude's. For just $5 you can get a hot dog, fries, a drink and a lesson in limiting choices.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to build a custom ramdisk using anthrax: https://github.com/posixninja/anthrax
The provided code includes an exec_cmd function which I give here:
I would like to use this function call to execute any binary that I add onto the ramdisk. Here is the call added to launchd.c:Code:void exec_cmd(char * argv[], char *env[]) { if(vfork() != 0) { while(wait4(-1, NULL, WNOHANG, NULL) <= 0) { HANG_LIMIT(1000); } } else { execve(argv[0], argv, env); } }
/sbin/banner is just a binary that prints Hello World and exits.Code:console_print("test: executing banner\n"); exec_cmd((char *[]){"/sbin/banner", (char *)0}, NULL);
The problem is I never see the output of it. When the ramdisk loads, I can see "test: executing banner", which comes from the console_print call just above, and nothing more.
What do I have to do to print the output of forked programs (stderr and stdout) to the console ?
FYI, I tried to compile my banner different ways:
either by linking it against libSystem and libgcc (which were added onto the ramdisk of course) :
or by only using the syscalls defined into anthrax's syscall.S file:Code:gcc -std=c99 banner.c -o banner
Then I strip the banner binary, and pseudo-sign it with ldid -S.Code:gcc -std=c99 banner.c syscall.S -static -o banner -nostdlib
Nothing works...
Can anyone help on this ? Thanks

M-Th 11am-10pm, F-Sa 11am-11pm, Su 11am-9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Robertson
Infuriating – We made a "reservation" for 6 PM on Mother's Day. Last I knew, the didn't take reservations, they merely place your name on the waiting list, but I thought, "hey, that's great". We arrived 10 minutes early and were told 20-25 minutes. I chalked that up to a misunderstanding about reservation vs. waiting list, so I didn't complain.
After 40 minutes, my son checked on the list and was told we "next in line". 5 minutes later, after others had been seated, I went to the hostess, and she was telling another family that they were "next to be seated". At that point we looked at the list and 12 parties of four after us had been seated while we waited. Basically, they just seat whoever complains.
If you enjoy being lied to, this is the place to go.
And oh by the way, the server took drinks that had sat on our table for a couple of minutes and gave them to the correct table. They just asked us if we had drunk from them. I'm sure the health department would approve of that!
Never again if I can help it.
Not a pleasant experience – Our family dines at this place about twice per year and the experience has been good in the past. My wife choose Outback for Mother's Day dinner. What a mistake on my part. I ordered a filet to be cooked medium well. My son and wife ordered the same meal (filet and crab legs). My steak was practically rare and my son's was overcooked. It took forever to flag the waitress down to talk about this. Everyone was practically through eating when she came back around. They returned the steak and charred it. The manager brought it back and i cut into it. I made a casual comment that it was very well done now. He asked if i wanted a new steak and i accepted. This whole process took a long time. We have little ones and they were starting to act up. Everyone was through eating and waiting on me. By this time, i was not even hungry any more after salad and bread. They brought the steak and it was as rare as the first one. I said nothing and ate about half of it. Moreover, the mashed potatoes that we all ordered were very dry as if they were sitting under heat for a long, long time. Now the best part: I am writing this review in between trips to the bathroom this morning (next morning). Have been in there 5 times already and can't stop. I learned a valuable lesson from this - never, ever send a piece of meat back to the kitchen more than once!!! Should have been obvious, yes. Well, they got me back alright. I am miserable today. I have only returned a steak to a kitchen once in my life prior to this. i do not make a habit of doing this as long as it is reasonably close to what i ordered. i think i will never do it again and certainly will never eat at this place again.
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.

Celtics by the Numbers: Rondo more records ahead
|Posted by shawn cassidy on November 26, 2012 at 7:15 AM
Rondo already beaten Stockton for most games in a row with 11 or more assists in a game. Rondo beat the streak when he recorded 28 games in a row. Sunday Rondo tied Stockton with 37 games in a row with 10 or more assists. Rondo has Magic on his radar, and he's got another 9 games left to nail that record. Does Rondo have any other records to address?
Well he's currently at 13.5 or so assists per game on the season. The record for highest average in a season is 14.5 by Stockton. Can Rondo capture that average this season? Does he have what it takes for that? I think he's got a large chance.
"Listen, I want him to get the record, it'd be great. But I can tell you, when you just said [he tied Stockton], I actually thought he had already passed him," Rivers said. "That tells you how much I'm paying attention to that. It is a record out there, and he should go after it. But he should just keep playing. Rondo should get 10 assists every night, he really should. Just by the way he plays. And that's what he's doing."
Is Doc playing a little dumb now? Doc fully knows where Rondo stands on the assist record. I don't buy that.

I think it's almost impossible not knowing about it.
Nine game is still a long way to go.
But it would be not just great, but amazing, unbelievable.
And doc is right, just by the way he plays he should get 10 assist every night!!
He is so beautiful to watch!! I just finished the other day a little video about Rondo with the song "Hall of fame" because even before knowing the title of the song, the elengance of the music at the beginning reminded me of Rondo.
paul says...
I think Rondo should be averaging at least 15 assists per game. Just look at the way defenses react to him. They panic when he makes a move. I don't think Rondo's teammates are taking full advantage of this.
Yeah, I believe that too!!
Morena says...
Yeah, I believe that too!!
I wish they'd all act more like Wilcox. Just know that Rondo is always looking for you, no matter what he is doing, so get yourself into a good position to score.

I really like that too!! Wilcox is great!! Even when he talks, he always says that you have to be ready because Rondo is going to find you!!
But too, to really make it work, Rondo has to keep scoring. I think he forgets sometimes that part of what keeps defenses reacting to him with a kind of panic is him being a threat to score.
Franklin says...
Doc is fully aware,or he wouoldnt have left Rondo in the game against the Pistons
But he is playing it off a bit so he doesn't come off too much as favoring Rondo. Coaches with great players always have this struggle. How do you favor your great player, without being so obvious about it that it wrecks the emotional balance of the team?

There is actually an even much better odds that you could acquire a much better cost, from yet another car insurance business, in comparison to you could possibly coming from your already existing insurance carrier. So why not bringing a hr around and assess your plan suitable for potential savings? Or even, if you are actually nourished up with the superior car insurance fees coming from your present insurance company, outlet around for a brand new business. The Internet has produced adding competitors in between car insurance companies. That is actually much easier compared to ever before for individuals to buy low car insurance fees, to assess coverage and contrast superiors. Still, investigations have shown that folks do not look around for car insurance in the very same means they could look for a brand new car. Individuals usually tend to remain with the exact same car insurance provider suitable for yrs. Why not confirm these research studies incorrect? Set the electricity of the Web in order to benefit you and also conserve funds while doing so. You may minimize car insurance in 5 ways: See to it you buy all reduced rates you get. Remain your vehicle drivers record well-kept and also current. Adjust your protection to think more danger. Travel a "reasonable details" vehicle geared up with a number of money-saving safety elements. Look around for an excellent, affordable car insurance service provider. First, enables look at the reduced rates you might just train for. Price cuts fall under a quantity of groups: 1. Low-Risk Jobs. Car Insurance is actually an amounts game. Adjustors accumulate relevant information concerning what sorts of people get right into incidents. Over the years they check out a trend. Drivers that operate as engineers often acquire right into fewer mishaps. Why? This might be actually playful to guess pertaining to the main reasons (wallet guards-- require we explain more?) The car insurance companies dont certainly care pertaining to that. All they recognize is actually that, in reality, designers are actually a reasonable hazard. Given that there is much less opportunity that they will certainly cover their cars around the trunk of a steed chestnut tree, they require designers less suitable for car insurance. Simple. Yet you mention you are a school teacher rather than a designer? You could still find yourself in good luck. There could be price cuts suitable for educators. You never recognize unless you ask-- and also unless you look around. Not all car insurance business are actually the same. 2. Professional Organizations and also Car Clubs. Possess you ever will pay out $119 for a resort space, only in order to uncover that a AAA rebate conserves you 22 percent? Now youre paying out $70 as well as experiencing honored of your own self. Thats identical in the car insurance business. Association with AAA - and specific some other professional associations - are going to reduce your fees. You should examine with your employer to find if there are actually any kind of group car insurance costs. At the same moment attempt examining straight with the car insurance firm agent when you make inquiries pertaining to the expense of policies. 3. Combined and also Renewal Discounts. A huge resource of savings is actually to insure your vehicles with the same company that covers your place. Be sure you ask if integrated insurance coverage is offered. This are going to decrease your payments on your car insurance and also create your house owners policy less expensive as well. That is actually additionally significant in order to produce sure you are actually acquiring a "renewal" reduced rate that several car insurance business supply. This is actually a price cut handed to people that have actually been with the exact same car insurance firm suitable for a lengthy time period. If you have actually held insurance with a business suitable for several yrs, and also not possessed a mishap, your car insurance provider likes you. Assume pertaining to it. You gave them a ton of cash and also they really did not need to do just about anything except deliver you invoices and also money your inspections. Accurate, they prepared to accomplish one thing if you received in an incident. But you didnt acquire right into an accident so theyre happy as well as intend to proceed their connection with you. A revival rebate is a pretty good motivation in order to prompt you to go back. As well as it is actually an excellent cause for you to stay with all of them. 4. Markdowns suitable for Car Protection Functions. Automotive safety elements will certainly additionally reduce your repayments. Moving the listing of funds rescuing protection functions is anti lock brakes. Particular large towns - such as San Diego, Austin - motivate drivers in order to purchase cars with anti lock brakes by calling for insurers to provide discounts. Check in order to discover if you inhabit such a condition, or if the insurance coverage firm you are actually taking into account offers a price cut for this attribute. Automatic safety belt and airbags are actually also regularly compensated with car insurance discounts. 5. Think More Threat. A couple of highly effective ways in order to take your protection down is actually in order to presume a much higher threat. This is finished two methods. One of the most significant decrease may be realized through dropping your collision insurance policy on an older vehicle. If the vehicle deserves below $1142, youll possibly spend additional protecting this compared to it is actually worth. Rationale of driving an older automobile is in order to rescue cash, therefore why not buy just what is actually arriving in order to you? Another way to overhaul your policy - and also rescue money at the same time - is actually to request a much higher insurance deductible. The insurance deductible is the amount of cash you must pay right before your car insurance firm starts paying out the rest. Simply puts, you purchase the younger dings and bumps and also allow your car insurance firm shell out for the hefty hits. Suitable for example, a frequent deductible quantity is actually $739. This indicates if an incident you find yourself in causes $1527 really worth of harm, you spend $583 as well as the car insurance provider pays out $1849. You could, nevertheless, specify your insurance deductible in order to $1874. This still covers you from massive losses, but it could minimize your monthly premium through as long as 30 percent. As a last notice, if you are actually being actually suffocated by superior car insurance expenses, keep this in consciousness when you go auto buying upcoming moment. The more pricey as well as higher-performance the car is actually, the much higher the premium will certainly be. This is particularly real of autos that are regularly taken, or even are expensive in order to fix. The insurance business continues this in mind when setting its own car insurance rates suitable for this motor vehicle. Outlet suitable for a low-profile car and get your starts other ways. Youll enjoy the cost savings youll see on your car insurance. Cheap car insurance quotes Be ready explore ttorir some time after.

Standing 251 feet above Turns 16, 17, & 18, the COTA observation tower provides a bird's eye view of just about every tun on the circuit, if you can stomach its subtle sway in the wind and clear-glass floor at the precipice. Officially called by COTA as the "Observation Tower" – it really needs a better name for casual conversation. We've heard COTA Cobra used a few times with some lovely alliteration, but the structure has always struck us as less snake-like, and more like a big dinosaur — we're going to use the name "Petrolsaurus Rex" until I hear something better, or COTA sends me a cease and desist order. I climbed to the top of Petrolsaurus Rex (read: took the elevator) during the MotoGP Warm-Up session, and snapped a few photos in the process. Enjoy!
We already announced the bike last November, and brought you a bevy of hi-res images of the special edition machine. Although now that we think of it, MV Agusta never released anything on this Giacomo Agostini tribute motorcycle — better late than never, right? Back at the EICMA show launch, where the MV Agusta F3 800 Ago was first shown to the public (and Agostini himself), the Varese brand promised us two additional motorcycle launches in early 2014. MV Agsuta made good on half that promise with the Dragster 800 model, hopefully this Ago special edition isn't the other half of that statement, and MV Agusta still has something waiting in the wings. That being said, the Tricolore & Gold paint scheme is gorgeous, and looks even better in person.
Want to watch the Isle of Man TT from the comfort of your non-British TV, but haven't been able to in the past? A new TV from the Isle of Man's Department of Economic Development will do just that. Inking a new TV contract with North One TV, the Isle of Man TT will be televised in the American, Australian, and of course British markets, making it easier than ever to watch the iconic road race. With a five-year contract with the Velocity Channel in the US, the American cable channel will show seven one-hour race shows. Each segment will air within 24hrs of each race, and be tailored for the American market.
After reporting 22% growth in Q1 2014, Giovanni Castiglioni had some closing words about the rumors that Fiat could acquire MV Agusta — a popular rumor that has been swirling around in the press the last two months. Denying outright that MV Agusta had, or was in, talks with the Fiat-Chrysler group about an acquisition (some reports linked even MV Agusta to being bought by Fiat-owned Ferrari), Castiglioni said the Italian company solely was focused on building growth, and building motorcycles. "Moreover, I'd like to take this opportunity to deny rumours circulated by the media over the last few days concerning supposed negotiations vis-à-vis the sale of a share of MV Agusta to the Fiat-Chrysler Group," said Giovanni Castiglioni, the President and CEO of MV Agusta.
In the coming years, US special forces may be riding a tw0-wheel drive, hybrid-electric, multi-fuel motorcycle co-developed by BRD Motorcycles and Logos Technologies. Helping make this project possible is a Small Business Innovation Research grant from DARPA. The goal is to make a single-track vehicle for US expeditionary and special forces that will be nearly silent in operation, yet also capable of traveling long distances. Details on the proposed machine are light, of course, but it sounds like the 2WD dirt bike will be based off the BRD RedShift MX (shown above), and use an electric drivetrain, as well as a multi-fuel internal combustion engine to achieve its goals.
Announcing his decision during the pre-event press conference for the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, Colin Edwards told the assembled press that 2014 would be the Texan's last season racing a motorcycle. Citing a lack of improvement on his performance in pre-season testing and at the Qatar GP, Edwards decision perhaps answers the lingering question in the paddock of when the American rider would hang-up his spurs after an illustrious career in AMA, WSBK and MotoGP. Talking about his inability to come to terms with the Forward Yamaha, which Aleix Espargaro was able to take to the front of the pack in Qatar, Edwards was at a loss when it came to understanding the Open Class machine and his lack of results.
It is no surprise that statistics from the NHTSA show that motorcycle accidents and injuries are on the rise. According to the 2012 Motor Vehicle Crash report published by the NHTSA, motorcycle fatalities for that year rose to 4,957, up seven percent from 2011, while injuries increased 15% to 93,000. While the NHTSA statistics are misleading because the motorcycle category includes mopeds, scooters, three-wheelers, pocket bikes, mini bikes, and off-road vehicles, new riders need every advantage they can afford. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has taken notice of these statistics and has revised the curriculum for its Basic RiderCourse to include a new Basic eCourse, which students will take prior to in-person instruction.
Are new Yamaha YZF-R1 models coming down the pipe? That's the question being asked after trademark filings in the US and abroad tipped off Yamaha Motor's intention to use "R1S", "R1M", and "YZF-R1M" for motorcycle, scooter, and three-wheeled purposes. The filings are being taken as hints towards a possible multiple trim levels of the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike, with the "S" and "M" designations being different spec machines than the current base model. The "S" nomenclature is a popular one in the two and four-wheeled world, though "M" would certainly be a novel designation, outside of say…BMW.
Continuing its theme of making limited-edition helmets for premier-class US rounds, Bell Helmets has teamed up with the Circuit of the Americas and Chris Wood, of Airtrix, to create a Texas-themed Bell Star Carbon helmet, just in time for COTA's MotoGP race next weekend. Available only until April 13th, the Bell/COTA helmet features a red, white, and blue flag motif on the front, with both the American and State of Texas flags visible, which then wrap around the rear to merge with a hardwood design, reminiscent of the floorboards in a Western saloon. The helmet is also crowned with a Longhorn cattle skull, which adds to the Texan motif. The specially designed helmet also features a horseshoe, the COTA logo, and the 2014 Red Bull MotoGP of The Americas logo.
Towards the end of the 800cc era, MotoGP looked to be in dire condition. Grids were dwindling, factories were reducing their participation, and teams were in difficult financial straits indeed. By the end of 2011, there were just 17 full time entries, Suzuki was down to a single rider, and were about to pull out entirely for 2012. How different the situation looks today. In a recent interview with the official MotoGP.com website, Aprilia Corse's new boss Romano Albesiano gave a brief outline of their plans. The Italian factory will continue to work with the IODA Racing team for 2014 to collect data on the electronics and tires, which they will use as input on an entirely new project being worked on for 2016.

Many Happy Returns
UNC Asheville volunteers prepare area residents' tax returns for free
For the third consecutive income tax season, UNC Asheville students and alumni are providing free tax preparation assistance for community residents. The effort, part of the IRS VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program, is giving students valuable experience and knowledge, while making a real difference in people's lives.
"A lot of people come in nervous, but then they find they're getting a refund," said Margaret Swearingen, a double-major in accounting and German who has volunteered many Saturdays this semester. "Some people come in with very basic returns, and then you get people with trickier tax situations – it's very 'real world' – not like working a problem out of a textbook. All of the taxpayers have been really grateful." Swearingen plans to sit for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam after she graduates.
Swearingen and 15 other student and alumni volunteers have set up shop at Pack Memorial Library in downtown Asheville most Saturdays since February. With the Pack Library closed for the Easter holiday on March 30, the final session of this tax season will be April 6.
We are saving people a few hundred dollars they might have paid to prepare their taxes. And the most common tax credit that is missed is the earned income credit – when we point that out, it can make a few hundred more difference to someone. That's a great feeling." –Ben Judge
The IRS VITA program offers free income tax preparation for people with incomes of $50,000 or less. VITA volunteers, in this case, the team of UNC Asheville students and alumni, are trained in tax laws and procedures, and confidentiality. "Everyone who works at a VITA site must pass the Volunteer Standards of Conduct exam, whether they are greeting taxpayers, preparing returns or packaging them," says Monique Taylor, UNC Asheville's director of internal audit, who also directs the university's VITA program.
The volunteers use tax preparation software to prepare returns, and each return is then reviewed multiple times to make sure they are accurate, according to Joe Sulock, UNC Asheville's Cary Caperton Owen Professor of Economics who teaches the service-learning course students take to become VITA volunteers.
Last year, the UNC Asheville VITA team prepared some 675 income tax returns (including state and federal returns), totaling about $438,000 in refunds. This included more than 200 returns for members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
This year, Cherokee's VITA program has become self-sufficient, so UNC Asheville's VITA team has worked exclusively in Asheville, where word has spread and the volunteers meet new taxpayers needing help each Saturday.
"We are saving people a few hundred dollars they might have paid to prepare their taxes," said Ben Judge, who is majoring in political science (he is also SGA president) with a minor in economics. "And the most common tax credit that is missed is the earned income credit – when we point that out, it can make a few hundred more difference to someone. That's a great feeling. Dr. Sulock and Monique Taylor make sure we are really prepared and it has been a great experience."

The "American Idol" Season 12 finale takes place on Thursday, May 16 and we've got the inside scoop on what's going down as Candice Glover and Kree Harrison "duet" it out for the show's top honors. Here what you can expect on the "Idol" season finale.
Angie Miller will sing an original song. The top three finalist may have peaked early when she performed her original tune, "You Set me Free," early in the season(the judges kept comparing her subsequent performances to the piano-accompanied ballad), but on finale night she'll back with her signature song. According to "Idol" spoiler site MJ's Big Blog, Angie's mom tweeted -- then deleted -- that her 18-year-old daughter will be performing the song on the finale. Mama Miller also dished that the song will be released on iTunes shortly afterward.
There will be musical guests galore. According to Deadline, former "Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez will return to the "Idol" stage to debut her new single "Live It Up" on the Season 12 finale, while current judge Mariah Carey will reportedly sing a medley of her hit songs. After a season of guest performances from "Idol" alums such as Scotty McCreery and Carrie Underwood, it's been leaked to the Hollywood Reporter that Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert will turn up to duet with Angie Miller. The Band Perry and legendary crooner Frankie Valli are also on the guest list, and Korean pop sensation Psy is slated to perform his song "Gentleman." (C'mon, you've heard enough "Gangnam Style" by now, haven't you?)
Expect some sort of tribute to Randy Jackson. The show's last remaining original judge announced that he was stepping down from his 12-year judging stint, so a proper goodbye is in order. While nothing has been officially announced regarding Jackson's final night on the show, in 2010 departing judge Simon Cowell got the red carpet treatment, including a tribute song in his honor performed by dozens of "Idol" alums, and a moving goodbye speech from ex-"Idol" judge Paula Abdul. The show's loyal top dawg (he outlasted them all!) deserves nothing less.
Prepare for ballad-style coronation songs. The annual "Idol" coronation song translates to the winner's first single. According to The Idol Pad, Kree Harrison's song is titled "I Am Beautiful," while Candice Glover's is "All Cried Out." Sounds like a pair of ballads on an already ballad-heavy season, but let's not judge a song by its title! Either way, with Kree and Candice's powerhouse voices, both songs should be winners.
The "American Idol" Season 12 finale airs May 15 and 16 on FOX.

After being pressed, our Ugni Blanc grape juice naturally ferments for seven days, the fruit sugars transforming it into a sumptuous wine ready for distillation. This clear wine is fruity, dry, slightly acidic and about 9% by volume. For unequalled precision over the quality of our young spirits, we insist on a process of micro distillation, where our wine growers ferment their own grape juice in batches before we select the very best to go forward for distillation. This special relationship with these wine growing families, often nurtured over five generations, ensures the continuous unrivaled standards of our cognacs.
Our traditional pot stills
Unlike many of our competitors, we insist on only using traditional 25 hectolitre Alembic Charentais copper pot stills. Their small size allows us greater control over the distillation process, by increasing the wine's surface contact with the copper, heightening the richness of the spirit..
Our distillers
Our distillers must expertly and precisely separate the double distilled spirit into the heads (which are too high in alcohol), the heart (the best part of the distillation) and the tails (which lack harmony). The passion and patience is rewarded with a clear and pure eaux-de-vie - literally 'water of life' - only ever taken from the heart. This eaux-de-vie is also called the 'bonne chauffe', or good heat, and is now ready for ageing at 70% ABV.
Distilling on the lees
The cooperage is where our coopers painstakingly handcraft the casks to our own exacting specifications to ensure they're in the best possible condition to house our eaux-de-vie throughout their long ageing journey. Our coopers transform about 5,000 oak trees a year into casks for our Courvoisier cognac.
The cooperage
Our wine goes through an intense double distillation process to ensure we capture its aromatic soul. We are one of the few cognac houses to distil using the 'lees', the wine's yeast residue, a remarkably difficult process that imparts even greater depth, complexity and dried fruit notes to our cognac. From the beginning of November, we distil our wine 24 hours a day until the 31st March, the legal deadline for our spirit to be called a cognac.
