Frank Roder Ticketed After Saving Son From Cliff, Jeep Plunges Into River

Frank Roder's Jeep is done for, but his son's alive!

div>

He may have been ticketed for not saving his Jeep from a cliff dive, but his other option was to let his 5-year-old son die and go to jail.

Frank Roder of New Jersey was ticketed on Thursday for failing to use his emergency brake, after which his Jeep flew into the Rahway River. Roder had leaped out of the vehicle because his son opened the door and was running straight toward a 35-foot embankment, according to Fox News.

"He hopped out, and I thought that was OK. I was just going to park," Roder, 38, told the station. "He just took off, made a beeline for the edge."

Roder said he narrowly saved his little boy Aidan, but his 2006 Jeep Commander wasn't so lucky. Roder knew something was wrong when the kid said, "Um, Daddy ..."

And then, the Jeep was gone. It slid down an embankment and into the muddy water below.

A cop on the scene reportedly handed him a pair of tickets -- one for the brake, and another for failure to produce his insurance card, which was in the water-bound Jeep -- and told Roder he should have just applied the brake.

"I say, 'Really? And if I did and my boy stepped over the edge and fell instead of the Jeep, then where would I be?' He says, 'Jail, for child endangerment'."

Though miffed and carless, Roder plans on paying his $50 and $60 tickets, TheBlaze.com reported.

Lola files for bankruptcy protection - Finance - The Car Guide

Finance

May 21, 2012

When many talk motorsports, the manufacturers' names that crop up are oftentimes the same ones that can be found patrolling the more tony districts of North American cities: Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus. And while those names are certainly prevalent players in the racing world, there's one that is at least as important as any of those: Lola.

Having produced chassis for everything from grand prix cars to CART to Le Mans, Lola's long racing heritage has earned it countless victories and podiums. However, that's all going to come to an end, as the iconic British brand has officially filed for bankruptcy protection. A simple issue of too little profit and too many expenses, the terminal end of Lola Cars will also result in the death of Lola Composites, a company with ties to the defence and aerospace industries

Why China Stuck Its Foot in Android's Door

China's antitrust authorities have approved Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility, on the condition that the Android operating system remain open source and its code be made freely available to original equipment manufacturers. Android devices had nearly 74 percent of the Chinese market in Q4, 2011, and that means Android is in a dominant position, China's Commerce Department said.

'Great Gatsby' Trailer: Five Roaring Scenes

Leonardo DiCaprio revisits his matinee-idol days and Baz Luhrmann recalls his previous work in sizzling new sneak peek.
By Kara Warner

Anyone who doubted the cinematic treat director Baz Luhrmann will deliver this Christmas in the form of his "Great Gatsby" need only watch the first teaser trailer to have their curiosity decidedly piqued. The visually stunning two-and-a-half-minute trailer features stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan in all their glamorous, early 20th-century-styled glory.

Here are five key elements to look out for:

Leonardo DiCaprio Reclaims Matinee-Idol Status
There's no doubt Leonardo DiCaprio is a gifted, serious actor; just look to his impressive and Oscar-nominated body of work for proof. And while his careful and calculated decisions with regard to his gritty and more art-house-oriented film roles over the years are indeed admirable, there's part of his fanbase dying for him to get back to his matinee-idol roots, ß la Jack Dawson in "Titanic" and Romeo in Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet." Judging by what we've just seen in the trailer, his performance as Jay Gatsby will more than do the trick. DiCaprio's acting skills are perfect for the tortured-yet-revered hero, not to mention the fabulous suits he's wearing to fit the time period.

The Roaring '20s
Speaking of the time period, there's just something magical about the 1920s, the decade in which the film and F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel take place. The glitz, the glamour and the nostalgia all make for a very alluring package, particularly when put in Luhrmann's very capable hands. It is clear from the trailer that the Australian director's take on Fitzgerald's classic will involve a faithful telling of the story that capitalizes upon the most visually stunning elements of that time period. And don't forget that the film was shot in 3-D.

Gatsby At The Moulin Rouge
Luhrmann fans should appreciate the highly stylized, fast-paced theatrical style we've come to know and love from the director. There are several shots of party scenes in the trailer that would have worked just as well in or doubled for scenes from Luhrmann's Oscar-nominated love story "Moulin Rouge." And thanks to the colorful madness on display in the scenes of revelry, it makes the more quiet, emotionally charged interactions between Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan) that much more powerful.

Mulligan And Maguire's Moments to Shine
Speaking of Mulligan, it's obvious from Luhrmann's carefully intercut Gatsby and Daisy scenes that the Oscar-nominated actress will be pulling on our heartstrings with her performance. Not to mention Tobey Maguire as narrator/reluctant hero Nick Carraway. His voice-over is reminiscent of Ewan McGregor's in "Moulin Rouge" and reminds us of his underrated performance as "Pleasantville" idealist David. Similar to DiCaprio's return to matinee-idol form, we're excited to see Maguire as a wide-eyed optimist — at least at first.

Right Music, Wrong Time
We've already mentioned the fact that the film is set in the 1920s, so how is it that Luhrmann opens his trailer with the 2011 club bumper "No Church in the Wild," by Kanye West and Jay-Z featuring Frank Ocean? Because Luhrmann's anachronistic musical selections have a successful track record, that's why. Would we have picked the song to open this trailer? No. But the bass-heavy, Auto-Tuned beat is perfect for setting up the scenes to come. For the second half of the teaser, Luhrmann deftly foreshadows the story's elements of heartbreak and loss with Jack White's powerful cover of U2's "Love Is Blindness."

Everything Everywhere launches smart signal sharing, still confident of 4G this year

Android Central

Everything Everywhere -- the oddly named combination of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK -- has launched smart signal sharing, which completes the final stage of the pairings 'big switch on.' 

Customers of either network have been able to share signal for quite some time now. The idea being, that if you should lose signal on your primary network, if signal is available in your area on your secondary network your phone will automatically switch to it. 

The smart signal sharing is designed to make this process seamless, and will prioritise signal from the other network should your current signal begin to fade. The theory being that customers will have better signal more of the time, without the interruptions of having to search for signal on the other network. 

Looking ahead, Everything Everywhere are still confident of providing 4G technology before the year is out. Speaking to tracyandmatt.co.ukthe company has indicated they are moving in the right direction to roll out the upgrade this year. The only potential sticking point, is the final go ahead from industry watchdog, Ofcom. Ofcom have already preliminarily approved Everything Everywhere's plans for a 4G network though, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. If the OK isn't given, the necessary hardware and software will still be installed as planned, so as to go live as soon as possible.

Tweet This Anchorage, AK (April 21, 2012) -- Integrity Roofing & Windows is offering installation of the best metal roofing systems for residential properties in Anchorage. Their Anchorage roofers use quality materials from top manufacturers in order to ensure metal roofs that are weather resistant, durable, and maintenance free.

Integrity Roofing & Windows provides innovative roofing and window solutions for homeowners. They provide a variety of services to provide the roofing Anchorage residents need to ensure the safety of their family. The company has developed a leading reputation for installing metal roofing systems that provide a wide variety of benefits.

Metal roof sheets are lightweight and malleable. As a result, a new metal roofing system can be quickly installed or combined with an existing roof for added durability. Integrity Roofing & Windows has factory trained anchorage roofers who can do the job swiftly and efficiently.

Metal roofs are energy and cost efficient. They reflect heat away from homes, reducing air conditioning bills. Likewise, the underside of metal roofs reflects heat towards the house, reducing heating bills. More importantly, this kind of roofing system is very durable, lasting between 20 to 30 years. This reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

In addition, they are weather resistant. Metal roofs are fire and spark, hail, and wind resistant. Painted metal roofs are also capable of snow shedding -- snow usually collects on roofs when it's fresh and light weight, and then once the temperature rises a few degrees, it slides off. This makes metal roofing perfect for Anchorage residents who have to deal with the city's subarctic climate.

These are just some of the highlights of metal roofing systems from Integrity Roofing & Windows. The Anchorage roofing company also has other services. This includes flat and slope roofing, hot roof and ice dam solutions, granite roofs and many more.

PSA Screening: There's More to Prostate Cancer Prevention | AICR ...

Today the US Preventive Services Task Force ? an advisory panel of cancer experts ? released a new recommendation that men should no longer routinely undergo a PSA blood test to screen for prostate cancer.? The federally appointed panel concluded that the harms of?unnecessary surgeries or other interventions outweigh the benefits of the test.

The Task Force released the recommendation in today?s issue of the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

The American Urological Society is one organization saying the Task Force is taking an extreme position, and that regular PSA screening for men 50 and over saves lives.

While the back-and-forth continues, we at AICR believe that the decision of how often to screen for this and other cancers remains a personal one, and one that is best decided in consultation with one?s healthcare provider.

But every time a new controversy flares over screening guidelines, they threaten to steal focus from the crucial fact that there?s much more to cancer prevention than tests and checkups.

In the case of prostate cancer, for example, the AICR/WCRF expert report and its continuous updates found strong evidence that lifestyle plays a role in lowering risk ? particularly a diet high in plant foods that contain lycopene, like tomatoes, watermelon, grapefruit and asparagus. Foods that contain selenium (such as oatmeal and Brazil nuts) have also been linked to lower risk for prostate cancer.

Testing plays a key role, and we all must make decisions about how to apply screening guidelines to our lives, informed by discussion with a trusted physician. But living a cancer-preventive lifestyle ? eating a plant-based diet, being active at least 30 minutes a day and staying at a healthy weight ? could prevent over 27,000 prostate cancers every year in the US, and hundreds of thousands of additional cancers as well.

That advice, at least, remains as uncontroversial as it was yesterday.
