By Ted Kulfan The Detroit News Published 9:13 p.m. UTC Aug 14, 2018 With training camp approximately a month away, Red Wings beat writer Ted Kulfan will analyze each of the Red Wings’ position groups in upcoming days. Today, the goaltending position is reviewed. Detroit — Young goaltenders are similar to young pitchers. Different sports, but normally, people playing those positions take a bit longer — unless there’s the sure-fire phenom — to develop and reach the NHL or major leagues. With that mind, you see the Tigers patiently waiting for many of their young, talented pitchers to develop. The Red Wings are the same way with their goaltending. Veterans Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Bernier, who was signed July 1 as a free agent, will handle the goaltending chores this season — and very well could for another two or three seasons given the current situation. Below Howard and Bernier, the Wings have potential NHL goaltenders, but … [Read more...] about Wings’ young goaltenders are a long way from ready

Airplane theft prompts industrywide review of security
Gene Johnson Associated Press Published 8:26 p.m. UTC Aug 14, 2018 Seattle – The spectacular theft of a 76-seat plane from the Seattle airport by a ground crew employee is prompting an industrywide review of how to thwart such insider security threats, though it remains unclear what steps airlines might take. “This is too big a deal. It’s not going to go away,” said Glen Winn, a former Secret Service agent who teaches in the University of Southern California’s aviation security program. “There’s going to be a lot of discussion, a lot of meetings, a lot of finger-pointing, and it’s going to come down to: How do we stop it?” Investigators are continuing to piece together how 3½-year Horizon Air employee Richard Russell stole the empty Bombardier Q400 turboprop on Friday evening and took off on a roughly 75-minute flight, executing steep banks and even a barrel roll while being tailed by fighter jets. He finally crashed … [Read more...] about Airplane theft prompts industrywide review of security
Civic Renewal: 3 Ways Honda Is Refreshing the Civic for 2019
Honda's popular Civic coupe and sedan are receiving some minor updates for the 2019 model year, with mild cosmetic changes coming across the lineup for what is already one of the best-looking Honda designs in decades, a new trim level for both body styles, and the introduction of Honda Sensing safety systems as standard equipment on all trim levels of the Civic.

Review: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ is a wealth of fun
Adam Graham Detroit News Film Critic Published 5:34 p.m. UTC Aug 14, 2018 A bit "Pretty Woman," a bit "My Big Fat (Chinese) Wedding" and a whole lot of giddy, bubbly fun, "Crazy Rich Asians" is a dizzying delight and the rom-com party to beat this summer. Crazy as it sounds, this utter charmer from director Jon M. Chu, the pop-minded director behind the "Step Up" sequels and Justin Bieber's tour documentary, is the first Hollywood production to feature an all-Asian cast since "The Joy Luck Club" in 1993. It introduces a huge group of characters and immerses viewers in a world of obscenely lavish wealth. But it does so in a way that isn't at all overbearing, and by the end, you'll feel like you're a part of the family. "Fresh Off the Boat's" Constance Wu is Rachel, an economics professor in New York who doesn't know her boyfriend Nick (the ridiculously charming Henry Golding) is part of one of Singapore's wealthiest families. Her first clue … [Read more...] about Review: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ is a wealth of fun
REVIEW: BMW S1000RR vs S1000R vs S1000XR
As purveyor of the benchmark overlander motorcycle, BMW Motorrad strives to provide a motorcycle for every rider and every occasion. This is perhaps exemplified by its trio of four-cylinder litre bikes, the BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR superbike, the S 1000 R naked sports and the S 1000 XR sports-tourer, priced at RM100,875, RM82,006 (for 2018 model year) and RM99,930, respectively, with zero-rated GST. Some may accuse BMW Motorrad of chasing every single market niche there is, and truth be told, several other manufacturers have followed suit, notably Ducati, and now, even Harley-Davidson. Say what you want about the boys from Munich, they do produce very competent motorcycles. This is not to say German motorcycles don’t have any faults, they do indeed. Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves, and the author has had first-hand experience with some of BMW’s finest going back to the first K-series bikes. Of course BMW Motorrad is known for its boxer engine, which has … [Read more...] about REVIEW: BMW S1000RR vs S1000R vs S1000XR
2017 Lexus RC-F: The Jalopnik Review
I feel sorry for the Lexus RC-F. When Lexus released this oddly styled coupe in 2015, everyone immediately compared it to a BMW M4, and collectively pointed and laughed at the car for being heavier, softer, and slower than the Bavarian opposition. Here’s how you should see this Lexus instead: it’s a Japanese V8 muscle car, an Asian Camaro. It’s the ride of choice for some badass manga hero who wears a high collar leather jacket, is 18 for some reason, carries around a sword twice his size, and the only way he knows how to drive is sideways. The Lexus RC-F isn’t trying to beat the Germans at their own game. It does its own thing in an unusual but intriguing kind of way. It’s large, fast, clumsy, and unapologetically in-your-face. (Full Disclosure: Lexus Canada wanted me to review the RC-F so badly, they lent me one with the performance package, clean and with a full tank for gas for a week. They also agreed that I take the car at Sanair Super … [Read more...] about 2017 Lexus RC-F: The Jalopnik Review

Product review: Alpinestars Sonoran Drystar pants
I was looking for an affordable riding pant in the Alpinestars range, specifically because I wanted one that could be zipped to my Alpinestars GT-Air jacket. I zeroed in on the Alpinestars Sonoran Drystar pant not only because it was compatible with my jacket but also because of its extensive mesh panel construction, which is ideal for our hot and humid climate. The Sonoran has mesh panels across the thigh and shin area, all the way to the ankle and that allows plenty of air to pass through the pants while riding the bike at highway speeds. Even on hot, summer days I don't feel any discomfort and my legs aren't sweaty despite the heat. As far as storage is concerned, there are two, deep pockets that I use to store my phone or keys and some loose change. I wish Alpinestars would have offered a waterproof pocket as well, as it would have been useful to keep my phone or currency notes dry, while riding in the rain. I also wear the pants on my commutes to office and since these are … [Read more...] about Product review: Alpinestars Sonoran Drystar pants
