Nissan’s Solution For Distracted Driving Is Simplest, Most Effective Yet
Share this: Lots of companies, including automakers, have developed different approaches to eliminating distracted driving. But none of those solutions can hold a candle to Nissan’s latest idea. Nissan Great Britain revealed its new Signal Shield concept on a Juke crossover Thursday that uses 19th century technology to combat the 21st century problem of texting and driving. Similar to the Faraday cage invented by Michael Faraday in the 1830s, the Signal Shield is a small enclosure in the Juke’s center armrest in which you place your phone while driving. The compartment is lined with conductive materials that blocks all cellular, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. “The Nissan Signal Shield concept presents one possible solution for giving drivers the choice to remove all smartphone distractions while driving,” Alex
Bob Arum Puts Blame On UFC For Latest McGregor-Mayweather Fight Roadblock
Money often is a huge issue in putting together mega-fights in the sport of boxing, and that appears to be the case for the potential bout between boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor. The egos involved in this situation are massive. Everyone wants their fair share of the money generated from the fight, and one legendary boxing promoter believes the UFC’s demands are too high. “I think the only impediment there is the UFC, because UFC doesn’t treat fighters the same way that boxing promoters do,” Bob Arum recently said, per SB Nation blog Bloody Elbow. “In other words, UFC fighters get so much less than boxe...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Looked Ridiculous, Got Flipped Off On Recent Bike Ride
Share this: Things can get pretty nasty on the track for NASCAR drivers. And, at least for Dale Earnhardt Jr., even an average bike ride can lack cordial behavior. During a Tuesday edition of Earnhardt’s “Dale Jr. Download” podcast, the Hendrick Motorsports driver talked about a recent bike ride he went on with teammate Jimmie Johnson, during which Earnhardt was given the finger by a passing driver. To make matters worse for Earnhardt, he had to wear an outfit that made him feeling a little self-conscious.

Doping report details ‘institutional conspiracy’ in Russia
LONDON — A new report into systematic Russian doping details a wide-ranging “institutional conspiracy” that involved more than 1,000 athletes across more than 30 sports, including evidence corroborating large-scale sample swapping at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren said Friday the conspiracy involved the Russian Sports Ministry, national anti-doping agency and the FSB intelligence service, providing further details of state involvement in a massive program of cheating and cover-ups that he said operated on an “unprecedented scale” from 2011 to 2015. “It is impossible to know just how deep and how far back this conspiracy goes,” McLaren said at a news conference in London. “For years, international sports competitions have unknowingly been hijacked by Russians.
