This rebrand is about a new era in the Florida Panthers' history books. Previously, the palm tree was used as the main icon to draw a connection between team and location, but this branding scheme is less about representation and more about the intigration of Miami's raw elemental energy. The wave-crashed coastlines and fiery sunshine are all iconic reflections of the Floridian lifestyle, which have now been harnassed and combined with the ferocity of its native feline killers. The brand's ties are still remeniscent of the Panthers' glory days with Bure, Vanbiesbrouck, and Niedermayer, but are different enough to offer a fresh start to a rising team full of youth and potential.
Thank You!

We're missing Rhian this week and it takes two guests and a very drunk Daniel to make up for it. We're hoping she will be home soon so she can join us on the show again soon. We start the show off with Daniel, already drunk and belligerent, making Victoria the first scapegoat of the show. This backfires quickly and all hell breaks loose, like an ape-seal Snooki. That's how we START the show.
From there we jump right into the show title topic and folks, it ain't gettin any classier. We give our review of Cards Against Humanity. Victoria gives us the Beer of the Week this week, which was the New Belgium/Lost Abbey Lips of Faith version of the Brett Beer. Somehow this leads us down a dark road of aggressive Italians, stinky Belgians and risque hotel sex. We discuss the awesomeness that is Cookie Butter and then on to handicapped haunted house movie. This transitions into talk of Daniel being old-fashioned for demanding that his sexual partners knowingly consent to his advances. I did warn you earlier this was going downhill, right? OK then. We move on.
Yeah so Daniel hits a new level of drunk from here and the show just devolves. Victoria, Butch and Andrea try to take back control and are almost successful at times. There's still an admission of watching gruesome porn and Daniel not just hitting the wall but obliterating it. Victoria goes on to discuss her obsession with zombie survival scenarios and brings in the shotgun option. This leads to talk about a kill van she saw on the way home and her new circus. Butch tries to talk about stuff going on in his awesome life and it devolves into auto-erotic self-mastication.

Joseph Salvatore Ackley
Term Assistant Professor, Barnard
Western Medieval Art
Ph.D., Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, 2014
Contact Information
Phone: (212) 854-5039
Office: 500J Diana Center
Office Hours: Thursdays, 10-12
Joseph Salvatore Ackley studies the art and architecture of the medieval West, with a particular focus on metalwork and the medieval church treasury. Additional research interests include figural sculpture, the late medieval altarpiece, medieval theories of matter, and, more broadly, questions of medium, material identity, and what can be loosely termed "the problem of the substrate" – that is, the tension between what we see versus what we know.
Ackley's current book project, Medieval Gold: Metal and Medium, c. 800-1450, emphasizes the centrality to medieval art of precious metalwork and the metallic aesthetic in general. In addition to the production, use, and occasional liquidation of medieval metalwork, the book addresses how the metal substances themselves were defined, understood, and allegorized by medieval audiences; how the art history of medieval metalwork can be expanded to include issues of material, process, and object morphology; and how and why select traditions of painting and sculpture throughout the Middle Ages purposefully sought to imitate and simulate precious metal. Other forthcoming publications include essays on precious-metal figural sculpture in the Late Middle Ages, the treasury of the Lüneburger Goldene Tafel and its peer monumental winged altarpieces, and Late Carolingian precious metalwork in the orbit of the monk Tuotilo of St. Gall (d. c.913).
Ackley received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University in 2014 and his A.B. from Dartmouth College. He held a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship/Lectureship at Columbia from 2014 to 2016. His research has been supported by multiple grants and fellowships, including support from the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), the Kunstgewerbemuseum – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, and the N.Y.U. Global Research Initiative. In addition to Barnard and Columbia, Ackley has taught at Colorado College, The Cooper Union, Montclair State University, and N.Y.U.

text: Pilar - Argentina's president Cristina Kirchner underwent three-and-a-half hours of surgery Wednesday for thyroid cancer and emerged "without any problem," her spokesperson said.Kirchner had the surgery to remove her thyroid gland in the city of Pilar, 50km north of Buenos Aires."The operation was performed on the president without any problem or complication," spokesperson Alfredo Scoccimarro said in front of Hospital Austral, where hundreds of supporters had gathered to show their support.Kirchner awoke after the surgery and showed signs of "a good immediate post-operative recovery", according to a statement from her surgeon, Pedro Saco.Kirchner's cancer was discovered during a routine medical exam on December 22, only 12 days after she was sworn in for a second term as Argentina's president. She won re-election in October in a landslide.She is scheduled to be hospitalised for 72 hours with a 20-day recovery period, during which Vice President Amado Boudou is taking over Kirchner's executive branch responsibilities.The president, 58, arrived at the hospital on Wednesday morning with her children Maximo and Florencia on board a helicopter.Kirchner, the country's first elected female president, was diagnosed with cancer "on the right lobe of the thyroid gland", Scoccimarro said last week.Doctors predicted she would be able to resume all of her duties as president.Message of support "The prospects are excellent and one would not expect any further growth of the tumour after the operation," said Mario Bruno, an oncologist and a member of the Argentina Association of Cancer.Supporters camped out at the hospital since Tuesday put up posters that said, "Be Strong Cristina", along with flags and banners showing the faces of Kirchner and her deceased husband, Nestor, who preceded her as president.Dozens of television camera crews, reporters and photographers had waited outside the hospital since Tuesday night in sometimes oppressive heat.Security was spread over a wide area by members of the military police, Buenos Aires federal police and presidential security force.Kirchner is one of several Latin American leaders to suffer from cancer since 2009.Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo have all waged battles against the disease and say they are now cancer-free.Former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was diagnosed with throat cancer in late October and has undergone chemotherapy treatments. He re-entered a hospital this week for radiation therapy.In a message of support to Kirchner made public by the Citizenship Institute he founded after leaving office, Lula expressed his "great joy" at the news that her surgery had gone well."We will soon meet again, both in good health," he said.Chavez last week speculated that the United States could have developed a "technology to induce cancer" in Latin American leaders, without offering any evidence that such technology existed.

Dade Murphy in the movie Hackers back in 1995 gave me a glimpse of wearable computer technology. Sure it was mainly just a prop to add to the look more than anything (along w/all of the hacker underground cliches, horrible computer ui) but it stuck with me since then.
Fast forward to Nov 2013, there actually exists a device like this; Google Glass. Glass has been out in the wild for a few months now and has gotten mixed reviews with most concerned mainly about privacy of others being viewed with it, recorded and others who do not like it just because of the 'douchebaggery' associated with Glass. Me, I see Glass as the begining of the next wave of tech/trends and change to society in how we interact w/the digital worlds.
Last Sunday night while laying in bed, I got an email from the Glass team. I didn't expect much since I've been interacting w/the Glass twitter team quite a bit (basically begging to get into the beta/explorer program). However this email was different, this was the Your Invited to Glass email!! The email also gives me a code for the store and also a reminder that I have seven days to redeem it.
A few clicks later and $1500 on the plastic, I had finally ordered Glass. It would be mine. I figured it would take a few days to process and ship however to my surprise I received a message that my order had been received Monday and then a shipped message on Tuesday. I checked the shipping and it's overnight so Wednesday I have Glass.
You get Glass, a USB Charger, Mono earbud accessory (only versions after Oct 28 get them), Protector Shield and Pouch.
The first time I see the Glass logo my heart jumps with joy. The future is now. I've played around with Glass for a few days now and am getting used to it and will post another update with more details on how it works, reactions from using it in public, etc.

Trilibis Mobile
Trilibis provides mobile solutions and technology to brands, media companies and enterprises. The company leverages a decade of experience in mobile product development and systems integration to design and develop mobile websites. Using SmartPath®, an enterprise-class, end-to-end mobile web platform, Trilibis powers hundreds of mobile experiences, generating billions of page views.
SmartPath™'s powerful mobile publishing capabilities and robust architecture enable designers and developers to create, broadly deploy and easily manage highly customizable mobile services and websites across thousands of smartphones and devices.
SmartPath consists of four fully integrated components.
SmartBuilder is a flexible, cloud-based visual authoring environment for designing the presentation layer and the user experience of a mobile site or a hybrid app. With SmartBuilder, designers can implement either responsive or adaptive approaches.
SmartPath SDK
An SDK that can be added onto any integrated development environment (IDE), such as Eclipse. This Java-based SDK connects the presentation layer with dynamic content from data feeds (like CMS solutions, ad networks, video servers or other 3rd party systems). The SmartPath SDK also enables implementation of custom business logic, such as transaction processing, data collection, verification, search and data filtering.
SmartPath Engine
A powerful mobile middleware that stands at the core of the SmartPath platform. SmartPath Engine comprises of the following key features:
- Device detection based on a comprehensive library that's updated regularly with device and browser information
- Encoding engine that generates device-specific mobile web syntax at runtime
- Mobile web hosting components, such as session handlers and load balancers , as well as built in Mobile SEO support
- Full support for the latest standard web technologies, such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (including Ajax and jQuery)
A versatile framework that simplifies and accelerates implementation of a growing array of 3rd party services. Developers have the option to create custom-made connectors to suit their specific needs or utilize built-in connectors for:
- Analytics
- Ads
- Messaging
- Social and sharing
- Maps and geospatial information
- Payments
Features & Benefits
A benefit from using Brightcove is the seamless mobile-ready integration with device detection. Device detection is useful as it eliminates the risk factor for whether or not a video will play on a specific device.
In addition, because SmartPath is a middleware platform, it is able to augment some limitations, such as supporting multiple player types for the same web link, which cannot be drawn from the likes of Youtube or Vevo player.
Integration Overview
The mobile website is integrated with Brightcove using our mobile web authoring environment (SmartBuilder) and/or by utilizing the SmartPath SDK if additional business logic is necessary. We simply tag the page as serving video and then pass the device informaiton to Brightcove who returns URL for video playback.
Brightcove integration work in one of two methods:
- Video Cloud SDKs – mobile optimized video player (usherworld) – javascript implementaion
- Media API Reference (northstar) – server side where smarthpath is the middleware
Using our platform technology, we are able to add/remove videos from a playlist on the fly by means of using a .xml file where updates can be made live instantly. This eliminates the need for having to go through a development cycle and customers can easily access this by means of an FTP.
Development services are estimated by level of effort and clients' are given a project rate for this work.
All sites are built using SmartPath, and so there is a license to software which is based on page view traffic.
The SmartPath license includes device detection/rendering engine for site optimization, hosting and maintenance, as well as access to SmartBuilder authoring framework to make site changes and create new sites on hosted cluster.

ll-xist 5.8
Extensible HTML/XML generator, cross-platform templating language, Oracle utilities and various other tools
Latest Version: 5.28.2
XIST provides an extensible HTML and XML generator. XIST is also a XML parser with a very simple and pythonesque tree API. Every XML element type corresponds to a Python class and these Python classes provide a conversion method to transform the XML tree (e.g. into HTML). XIST can be considered 'object oriented XSLT'.
XIST also includes the following modules and packages:
ll.ul4c is compiler for a cross-platform templating language with similar capabilities to Django's templating language. UL4 templates are compiled to an internal format, which makes it possible to implement template renderers in other languages and makes the template code "secure" (i.e. template code can't open or delete files).
There are implementations for Python, Java, Javascript and PHP.
ll.ul4on provides functions for encoding and decoding a lightweight machine-readable text-based format for serializing the object types supported by UL4. It is extensible to allow encoding/decoding arbitrary instances (i.e. it is basically a reimplementation of pickle, but with string input/output instead of bytes and with an eye towards cross-plattform support).
There are implementations for Python, Java, Javascript and PHP.
ll.orasql provides utilities for working with cx_Oracle:
- It allows calling functions and procedures with keyword arguments.
- Query results will be put into Record objects, where database fields are accessible as object attributes.
- The Connection class provides methods for iterating through the database metadata.
- Importing the modules adds support for URLs with the scheme oracle to ll.url.
ll.make is an object oriented make replacement. Like make it allows you to specify dependencies between files and actions to be executed when files don't exist or are out of date with respect to one of their sources. But unlike make you can do this in a object oriented way and targets are not only limited to files.
ll.color provides classes and functions for handling RGB color values. This includes the ability to convert between different color models (RGB, HSV, HLS) as well as to and from CSS format, and several functions for modifying and mixing colors.
ll.sisyphus provides classes for running Python scripts as cron jobs.
ll.url provides classes for parsing and constructing RFC 2396 compliant URLs.
ll.nightshade can be used to serve the output of PL/SQL functions/procedures with CherryPy.
ll.misc provides several small utility functions and classes.
ll.astyle can be used for colored terminal output (via ANSI escape sequences).
ll.daemon can be used on UNIX to fork a daemon process.
ll.xml_codec contains a complete codec for encoding and decoding XML.
Changes in 5.8 (released 05/05/2014)
- UL4 supports while loops now.
- misc.item now supports index sequences, which will be applied recursively, so item(["foo", "bar"], (1, -1)) returns 'r'.
- A new context manager misc.timeout has been added, that uses signal.alarm to limit the runtime of the body of the with block.
- Updated the required version of cssutils to 1.0.
- Fixed the oraddresetsequence command to really reset the sequence. The parameters minvalue and increment are now optional. If missing they will be taken from the existing sequence.
- Passing the clientinfo parameter to cx_Oracle.connect doesn't work with Oracle 188.8.131.52.0 (leading to an ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error). The method orasql.connect has been changed to set the clientinfo parameter after the connection has been established.
- Fixed cloning of plain XML attributes.
- Fixed a bug in the C source code that broke compiling with Visual C. From now on we will have Windows installation packages again.

List of top selling vehicles in China, 2005.
One of the most effective ways to market automotive specialty equipment is to obtain coverage in enthusiast media—magazines, websites and broadcast programs. Even the publicationof a simple press release provides instant credibilitywith enthusiasts. But getting noticed in the morass of presspackets, stories and brochures received on a daily basis by writers, editorsand producers can be a frustrating and complicated task. All the more sowhen the publication services a different country.
This memo provides general guidelines on how to utilize government online resources, supplemented with available governmental and non‐governmental resources to determine the tariff rates to import products from overseas markets into the US. This memo is intended as a general guide and all information should be confirmed with the appropriate authorities.

This report examines market trends in Ukraine for commercial vehicles, such as vans, trucks, and pickups. i.e. vehicles with gasoline or diesel engines generally used for transportation of passengers or goods. The Ukrainian market of an estimated 20,000 commercial vehicles imported annually is worth an estimated $ 200 million. The Ukrainian market for cars maycpresent a good opportunity for American car dealerships or individuals who may possess excess or unsold inventory of subject products, as well as for American automotive aftermarket companies selling spare parts, accessories or garage equipment.
Automobiles manufactured in the United States generally need some adaptation to meet the requirements of UK regulations relating to the design and construction of vehicles intended for use on British roads. The most obvious difference, right-hand versus lefthand drive, is not a regulatory issue, but other conventions including the color of turn signals, the aim of dipped headlights, and in some cases, the protrusion of tail pipes, tow hitches, and front bull bars can be a problem that demands remedial action before an Approval Certificate can be issued, permitting the vehicle to be registered and used on the public roads.
The U.K. market, the fourth largest in Western Europe, is also one of the easiest markets in Western Europe for SEMA-member companies to gain a foothold. The lack of language barriers and the relatively regulation-free environment
regarding vehicle customization form a basis for exploring the market. These two factors, coupled with a sizable and growing
portion of British consumers who seek to personalize their vehicles, make the U.K. market attractive for specialty equipment
The Slovak Market for Electronic Battery Testing Systems is small compared to other neighboring countries. Slovakia has approximately 2,500 Auto Services, 500 small independent entrepreneurs and approximately 500 – 2000 home users
of Electronic Battery Testing Systems. The total market for Electronic Battery Testing Systems is approximately 900 – 1100 pieces per year.
The Lebanese 1.7 million vehicles market experiences a steady increase of 2 to 3 % per year, resulting in an average total spares and equipment imports of $ 30 million per year.

FREDERICK, Md. - As Frederick plays host to Potomac tonight in the deciding game of this series, it is the first Game 5 of a playoff series in Frederick since 1990, the first year the Keys played here at Harry Grove Stadium.
Frederick defeated Kinston and Jim Thome 7-5 that night to win the Carolina League championship.
A win tonight by the Keys and they return here tomorrow night to face Kinston again in a best-of-five series for the league championship.
Keys manager Orlando Gomez had two options on the mound for this game in Nick Haughian (8-7, 3.67) and Jake Pettit (7-0, 1.62). He decided on Pettit, who gave up just one run in six innings to Potomac in Game 1 of this series.
"I don't take anything away from Haughian, but Pettit from the point he got here, has probably been my best pitcher. Almost every game he pitches, he does deep into the game. I think he deserved the chance to pitch tonight," Gomez said.
If the Keys reach the Mills Cup finals, Haughian will start Game 1 tomorrow with Rick Zagone going in Game 2 and Scott Copeland in the third game.
Gomez said he may have to manage differently tonight in Game 5.
"Probably. I may have to go to the bunt early to try and scratch out a run or two. If I have to go to the bullpen early, I will."
Gomez said his players are excited about Game 5 and the chance to advance to the finals. He is thrilled with his team all year after they posted the best regular-season mark in the league at 80-59.
"They are excited," he said. "Today, they came in smiling and they are ready. Their attitude is very good today, no one is down. I am very happy with how this team handled themselves and played all year. Whatever happens (tonight), happens. I am pleased with this group this year," he said.

Creeeeeeeeeeeeepy! Would you do this? IF you have the best answer to the contest on Airbnb right now, you will be flown to Transylvania and you'll stay in Dracula's castle for Halloween night. "Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker's great grandnephew, will answer your knock on the castle's imposing wooden doors. He will be your host for the night, and resident expert on Transylvanian lore. Enter the castle and explore the labyrinth of lamp-lit corridors, creepy nooks, and squeaky staircases while there is still light in the sky. You may traipse through all fifty-seven rooms, from lofty tower lookouts to deep dark crypts, and even enjoy an incomparable view of the Carpathians from the terrace as the sun makes its final descent. But once darkness comes, retreat inside. Unexpected guests have been known to come knocking in the moonlit hours."
"A secret passage on the first floor leads to the grand dining room where an intimate candlelit dinner will await, prepared exactly as described in Bram Stoker's novel. Following the hearty, blood-enriching meal, you will be left to sleep in luxurious velvet-trimmed coffins in the seclusion of the Count's crypt. Fall asleep to the creaks and whispers of the Transylvanian night, and the sound of wolves roaming outside the castle walls. 'Listen to them, children of the night, what music they make…'"
You've got until about midnight next Wednesday to enter…think HARD about this question. "What would you say to the Count if you were to come face-to-fang with him in his own castle?"
Then you can ENTER HERE for your chance at the CREEPIEST Halloween night ever!

psbind examines the margins in a PostScript document and rearranges the pages to fit them onto paper efficiently. It outputs a transformed PostScript document. Because psbind detects the margins in its input automatically, it is particularly useful on documents with large or unbalanced margins.
LILO-Splash-Screen Script-Fu is a script for the GIMP which helps you create fancy splash screens for use with LILO (and the boot-logo patch). It converts an RGB image to an indexed one, selecting appropriate colors for the image and a special region of interest (the current selection) where the boot menu shall reside. This is done by first duplicating the selection and its inversion, converting both to indexed images, then adding a modified color palette (ADD/SUB) required for the menu bar, and finally recombining all palette colors into a single 256 color palette.

Apple Computer's hardware tends toward the cutting edge of industrial-design chic, with sleek, clean lines. Sometimes that style costs extra, sometimes it doesn't.
Apple's laptops exhibit that trend nicely. Most of them, especially the larger PowerBooks, sell at a premium over similarly equipped Windows portables. If you need DVD-burning capability, a PC Card slot or a larger screen, you'll have to pay that extra price.
If, on the other hand, you just need an everyday machine that won't weigh heavily on your shoulder, the entry-level iBook G4, at $999, stands out as a great deal.
Even with the power adapter, you'll be hauling only 5.3 pounds of computer. It lasted for 3 ¼ hours of DVD playback and ran for just under 6 ½ hours with all its power-saving options activated.
The iBook's sleek, white case houses a sharp, clear, 12-inch screen, easier to read than many larger displays. Its keyboard feels right, and the expansion ports line up in a row on the left side.
The only quirk is the slot-loading CD/DVD drive; ejecting a disc can be tricky if the laptop isn't flat.

AWD Model S available early 2015, Model X all-wheel drive only
AWD Model S available early 2015, Model X all-wheel drive only
There has been rampant speculation about a P120++ (or whatever else you would like to call it) over on TMC for months now. I've tried to fuel the speculation in hopes of showing customer interest :)
The problem is that this isn't true. Elon mentioned that the AWD S might come in 2015 but the rest is in this author's head. He mentions separate motors
for each wheel and torque vectoring, which is not how Tesla does AWD.
This is someone's flawed understanding of what Elon way saying.
car t;
+1 Lola
As soon as the order tab shows up on teslamotors.com I am preordering
P120++AWD can't come soon enough. I would love to have a true Super S wrapped in a daily driver skin.
Perfect market timing to keep the buzz going;
2015 is X
2016 is AWD S
2017 is E
Then if we are really dreaming big an Airstream trailer mounted on an S skateboard that is self powering so you can tow it with anything......Never hurts to dream big.
The model X page now only lists the Model X as having AWD.
2018 needs to be a Tesla pick-up truck--currently the best selling vehicle in the US.
YOUR Airstream will just have to wait!!
Tesla Minivan anyone?
+1 SD Supercharger. I am willing to wait for my Airsteam Trailer Tesla if I can have a pickup truck first.
I was loading 5 gallon buckets of roof coating material in my S the other day and the warehouse guy commented, "that's a pretty expensive pickup truck you are driving".
+2 @Lola & Roamer
I would jump all over an AWD 120+ Supercar. Whatever I can say on this forum, sprinkle pixie dust . . . please make this happen.
I'm hoping it will come out (at least the AWD) in 2015 concomitant with the MX. Wouldn't be surprised to see a larger battery as well.
Elon has been quoted, often, saying costs/density are improving at ~8%/yr.
40% by ME (Model E)
I don't think they need to make the AWD into a "supercar." It does not have to be crazy expnesive just because you want AWD. I'd be perfectly satisfied with a P85 AWD at a higher cost to cover the additional components.
AWD is an essential feature for a luxury performance car and I hope they don't position AWD as some exotic highly expnesive feature.
@WEB_SRFR Agreed. Any supercar talks need to start with a 1000lb weight reduction. The AWD S and X are likely for better wet road performance only.
90% of those who insist "AWD is an essential feature" have never driven an MS equipped with good snows. My SWAG.
How much is that "good snow" option costs?
Put me down for the supercar. After driving around in the snow the past winter, AWD just for "better" snow handling is not enough for me to swap out.
I emailed Tesla two days ago about the timeline of an AWD Model S and here is the two responses I got.
Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors Support in regards to the Model S. Currently we have no information on the AWD addition to the Model S. The best place for any features coming would be our website http://www.teslamotors.com/models . We greatly appreciate the feedback and please feel free to reach out to us via email or 877-79-TESLA.
Kind Regards,
I don't know if anyone has already contacted you regarding your question about an AWD Model S. I haven't heard of any plans for one right now but that's always subject to change. Please keep checking our web-site, it's updated frequently and quickly so any announcements will appear there.
Thanks Mr.*****,
carlk rightly noted, "Any supercar talks need to start with a 1000lb weight reduction."
We can get close, maybe. Elon Musk says that the Generation III (Model E) vehicle will be about 80% the size of the Tesla Model S. With a reported curb weight of 4,647.3 LBS for the current car, that would make the next sedan around 3717.84 LBS.
He also said this new vehicle will target the BMW 3-Series. Interestingly enough, the proposed lower weight falls right smack dab in the middle of the weight range for those cars:
LBS PRICE Model
3,410 $37,300 328i Sedan
3,555 $43,400 335i Sedan
3,595 $35,300 328i xDrive Sedan
3,710 $45,400 335i xDrive Sedan
3,915 $41,450 328i xDrive Gran Turismo Hatchback
4,010 $46,850 335i xDrive Gran Turismo Hatchback
Almost, but not quite 1,000 LBS off... But it should suffice, given this competition. If an All-Wheel-Drive version of the Model E can be had for under $40,000 there will be a lot of happy people in Norway, and Aspen, and Minneapolis, and Buffalo, and Quebec...
As long as they continue to use the same skateboard for the production cars the weight and size differences will most likely rely on body and interior accoutrement changes (and eventually cell improvements).
I think re-using the main component of the S across all models is a great idea, at least as long as the models produced are fit for a car chassis. Expanding to a full size truck or larger SUV format would benefit from a new skateboard (surfboard? longboard? paddleboard?) but would incur production/R&D costs.
It'll be an exciting second half of the decade regardless.
I don't see a compeling reason for an AWD Model S. They can't build them fast enough now. Battery packs are going to get even more constrained with the Model X. They have AWD with the Model X, so if you must have it, you can buy the X. I just don't see a reason for Tesla to do it. Maybe if they were GM and selling 500,000 copies of a car per year, it would make sense to grab an extra 50,000 sales with an AWD variant, but they aren't in that position.
Aren't Signature owners first in line for an P120++ reservation?
Cap'n: Unsure about for the P120++ but they definitely are at the top of the list for the Mr. Fusion upgrade once they release the software update that unlocks the Flux Capacitor :D
The Model E is not on the same skateboard. It will be smaller, and somewhat lighter. IMO, AFAIK, IIRC.
*Bump* to fuel speculation and support for expedient P120++++ production :)
120 is something I would definitely trade up to, just the battery.
Then my Model E will become the 'driving pleasure' car.
@shop: You don't see a compelling reason for AWD with the Model S? Try the fact that over half of what Mercedes sells is sold with AWD and it is a feature desired in the market segment the Model S competes in. I'm one of those potential customers waiting for AWD.
And yes, I know the RWD Model S drives better than RWD ICE cars. My view is that an AWD Model S will drive better than an AWD Ice and I'm not the only person waiting for this to be available.
I wonder how much AWD upsells are just promotion by the dealers than fulfilling a real need. I expect they make a lot more profit on AWD cars (since they always cost more).
I'm sure some situations benefit from ICE AWD, but it seems all the MS owners who drive in ICE AWD conditions are not having a problem. This includes snow and ice.
So consider if it's worth what your asking for in the MS:
- Significantly higher cost (maybe $10-20K)
- Reduced range (due to extra weight, and power requirements)
- Less cargo space - likely the frunk would have to go
On the positive:
- Better traction
- Maybe better 0-60 times (but extra weight might negate this)
- Better stability
- Easier sell for those who are used to AWD and have never tried the MS
@TeslaTap.com: The Mercedes 4MATIC system generally costs only about $2-4K more. It's really not a big deal. There is no reason why the Tesla AWD needs to cost much more than $5K or so. Additional weight is negligible for a 5,000 lb car.
My girlfriend has asked the same questions you are asking but I am stubborn about AWD and I want it :) I am unlikely the only person waiting for this and as good as the the Model S RWD system is, the AWD system in a Model is going to be even that much more better.
I can't emphasize enough how this feature is desirable in the high performance premium car segment. You can no longer buy a Mercedes E class or S class AMG without 4MATIC and even with the current generation E550, 4MATIC is standard. It's becoming a standard feature in this segment much the same way ABS is standard.
For some extra money and negligible weight and space loss you gain better traction and thereby safety. They just need to add AWD across their entire model line up so people who want it can pay more for it.
Higher sales price and margins sound like good reasons for AWD even if they can sell all the MS they can make already.
The reason it costs and weights more on the MS is the addition of a second motor, inverter, and likely a few other parts. I thought I read the motor inverter is $10K, but that's a retail price. The motor/inverter alone is about 300 pounds. I'd guess the other components would at another 100-200 lbs. So it means a 10% weight gain and perhaps a 5-10% range reduction. Tesla may have some tricks to reduce the range loss.
An ICE car can add AWD fairly cheaply as it only requires the transaxle as it already has a long drive train to power the rear wheels from the front motor.
AWD Teslas (at least for the Model X) will be far superior to any ICE AWD. The 2nd motor and related software can do things with traction and stability control that ICE vehicle designers can only dream about. It will be amazing, but not cheap.
@TeslaTap: I understand your reasoning but everything you mention has already been figured out by Tesla for the Model X. They also have economy of scale that you don;t get when you buy one motor at the retail price. They should be able to add AWD for about an additional $5K to be competitive with the added cost most people are used to for getting AWD.
I agree completely about an AWD Tesla being better than any AWD ICE. That's what I'm waiting for :)
@Olof: Yup but at some point they need to sell more than what they are selling now and AWD at an additional cost can only help.
I live in Canada, since 20 years I am driving Porsche 911 4S...and I enjoyed driving the 911 in winter because its 4 wheels drive.
I supposed to have a new panamera 4S in june 2014.
When I did a test drive with Model S P85 I loved the car. I canceled my contract for the new panamera 4s.
But when I did a second test drive for the P85 in winter day, there was a problems when I stopped the car in a snow hill and re-start driving....I can say that the car was not moving at all, as it was confused, I was big time disappointed..
Thanks god no car behind me. it will be a problem.
Still I love Tesla car, so I decided to go with model X because its 4X4. and I did my deposit.
I wish Tesla do model S 4x4, its a must in Canada in Winter time.so in this way I can buy the model S 4x4 P85 (as my car) because the P85 is so sexy, wide from the back like the Porsche.
If it will be available Model S 4x4 for sure I will buy the car.
In this way I can have both model x (4x4) and model S P85 (4x4)
I'd be surprised if an AWD upgrade were less than $10K.
TeslaTap - I'm too lazy to look for the reference, but in one of the talks Elon gave, I believe he mentioned that the AWD was going to be "energy neutral". The weight of it would certainly still be a detriment, but in another thread someone mentioned how a higher gear ratio for the second motor might increase the efficiency and range at freeway speeds. I'm no engineer, but it sounded like a great idea to me :)
WEB - I wasn't planning on waiting for the AWD and/or bigger battery initially, but my home refinance took forever, so I figured I might as well wait until early 2015 to see if it comes out. Plus, that way I can save up enough to not have to finanance the car. I believe I am the longest reservation holder ever :)
**(since the car went into production, of course)
***finance. Although fianance has a nice French ring to it.
Agree with Bighorn. This could be a nice 'profit center' for all who would like AWD so I expect it to be at least 10K upgrade charge. Since TM can sell as many RWD Ss as they can make I think they would have an 'Osborne Effect' if they introduce an AWD S before they are less battery constrained.
Despite my feelings that RWD is sufficient my wife insists that she drive an AWD vehicle. She likes the traction and psychological/safety feel of driving our child in an AWD vehicle.
She does not (again despite my thought :) ) like the falcon doors of the X so we are waiting for an AWD S that we expect to be produced/introduced just before the X goes into production.
@AlMc: If you look at Tesla's pricing, they generally price their products around what competitors charge. The Model S is priced between a higher end E class and an S class and when Elon was asked about some aspects of pricing at the Norway town hall recently he kept referring to how the price is similar to what Mercedes or another premium car maker would charge for whatever feature was discussed. I think this approach makes sense.
Compared to the competition, around $5K is what I think is fair for the addition of AWD. That's still higher than what Mercedes charges for most of their models but I do understand that there will be an actual second motor etc., Yes you can charge more and you can possibly even gouge customers on this feature but sooner or later as other options open up in the marketplace things will even out.
I'd pay up to $10K for the AWD feature but some/most may not. I think they are better off figuring out a price-point that is palatable to a majority/large percentage of their customers so they can offer this feature to a larger customer base and make more profit based on volume rather than generating lower net cumulative profit by making a larger profit on a smaller number of cars.
If they price it appropriately they can make the extra profit on about half the models they sell, as is the case with Mercedes. If they price it too high, they would actually be missing out on a profit center by making this a niche feature that appeals to a far smaller customer base.
@Web-srfr: We shall see. Hope you are correct.
@web-surfer, you completely missed the point I was trying to make. I didn't say there was no demand for AWD and I didn't say Tesla wouldn't sell a lot of AWD Model S. My point was: from Tesla's perspective, it didn't make sense to have an AWD S until manufacturing can finally outstrip demand. People seem to forget that Tesla is making cars as fast as they possibly can right now, and they still cannot catch up to demand. Just like there is no point spending money on advertising, there is no point doing a major model modification right now.
Although I am not an engineer either it seems to me a 4 wheel / All wheel drive would only require 2 smaller motors that add up to about the same power/torque as the current rear motor. Each smaller motor would drive two wheels and only be slightly heavier than the current drive train and draw close to the same power. With two motors applying power front and back perhaps the acceleration and range might not change as much as some have previously suggested! No? This configuration must have been designed and thoroughly tested in the Model X configuration before announcing its performance. Perhaps the same motors would work in the S and X 4 wheel drive with different torque tuning.
BMW corrected one of their prices while I wasn't looking:
LBS PRICE Model
3,410 $37,300 328i Sedan
3,555 $43,400 335i Sedan
3,595 $39,300 328i xDrive Sedan*
3,710 $45,400 335i xDrive Sedan
3,915 $41,450 328i xDrive Gran Turismo Hatchback
4,010 $46,850 335i xDrive Gran Turismo Hatchback
* $4000 higher than before.
The BMW Gran Turismo Hatchback is only available with their xDrive All Wheel Drive system. I suspect the Model E will have a similar form factor, though available drive options are likely to be both RWD and AWD. The Tesla Motors vehicle will be much prettier though, of course.
Brian: I think that if the Generation III cars have a smaller battery pack physically, it will still have the same or higher capacity when compared to today's 60 & 85 kWh versions. Some have intimated they think the new car series will have a 40 kWh battery. I doubt those will ever be seen again in a Tesla Motors product.
I think it is more likely that even with a smaller wheelbase, the Generation III cars will still use the exact same physical battery format as Model S and Model X. That will simplify manufacturing processes and inventory control considerably. As usual, of course, I concede that I may well be wrong.
Olof: Precisely. Tesla can certainly use the money.
@shop: While I understand your reasoning, I see no point in holding back a desirable feature that is wanted by perhaps 50% of the market segment. I hope you agree that it is better to offer AWD before any drop in demand than to milk the RWD propulsion for all its worth while denying the feature to those who have been waiting for it.
I originally wanted to buy a S550 with 4MATIC and the only reason I decided to delay my purchase was because I was told by the Tesla showroom people to wait until 2015. It's better for Tesla to get my money next year for an AWD Model S than wait another 6 years when I'm ready to replace my S550.
The Market for AWD is huge and a lot of the higher end Mercedes models are are sold only with AWD for this reason. It would be very disappointing if they don't offer the Model S with AWD next year.
@Red Sage: Thanks for the info. Mercedes is very similar with their pricing structure. They charge around $2-4K extra for AWD and their higher end models are all sold with AWD standard. It's almost becoming a standard feature with premium cars and that's a good thing...
The second motor and inverter will not be duplicates of the corrent ones. They will be sized for the needs of the car, and power output is determined by the battery, so they will have to share. Straubel once explained that the front would take over more at highway speeds, etc.
Also, the space required is likely to sacrifice the "microwave" space, but not the whole frunk.
shop's point remains. It would require new manufacturing capacity and capital costs to achieve zero new sales to rush AWD -- since they're already selling all the RWD they can make. Note they've also minimized the MX AWD capital hit by making ONLY that model.
@Brian/Shop: Yes, adding AWD would require some extra effort but with most of that work having been done already for the Model X, to a large extent the technical parts of this have already been solved and implemented.
I respectfully disagree about not having to undertake efforts to improve the car. Is Tesla's goal to milk their current platform for all that's worth or continuously innovate to build the best car in the world? I would hope their goal is the latter. It's lack of innovating that is going to eventually erode the market share of existing carmakers.
I'd like Tesla to deliver innovation and what customers want. This whole discussion is moot to a large extent as Tesla has pretty much admitted that there will be an AWD Model S. They just have not given a firm date yet so it is pointless to argue this point any further.
Let me say though that there are many other potential innovations coming that Tesla does not *need* to sell the Model S but I bet they will implement them in the interest of keeping up with automotive technology, delivering what customers expect, and continue to make the Model S the best car in the world.
+ Lane departure warnings
+ Cruise control steering assist
+ Radar based cruise control
+ Active variable range headlights
I could name many more other features. I think it is nonsense to suggest that because the Model S is selling well now, they should sit on their laurels. It is selling well now because it is the best car in the world. If Tesla stops being the best car in the world it would be because they stopped innovating and offering what customers expect in this price segment.
Offering AWD is needed to maintain parity with other offerings and deliver a feature that is very much in demand to a large segment of customers and I hope they deliver it next year. If they do not, it is only a matter of time until someone else will.
After the S500 hybrid nonsense coming out, Mercedes will figure out that people are not interested in stupid hybrids and they will eventually deliver a high performance, high range S class. When that happens, the Model S needs to be able to compete with it. Tesla has a 3+ year head start and as long as they keep innovating, they can maintain their lead.
@Brian: Re: Model X only being AWD: It is for the same reason they discontinued the Model S 40. Lack of demand. I heard AWD was so desirable with the Model X for potential customers tat they could not justify a non AWD model.
As I've said above, based on your logic of not innovating because of netting zero new sales, Tesla can stop innovating the Model S or adding any new major features. It would give no reason for current customers to upgrade in a few years and it will allow a competitor to create a more compelling offering.
Innovating the car is not an unnecessary capital cost, it is necessary to stay ahead in a very competitive industry.
TM has been offering updates and upgrading the options selections in the last two years. Parking sensor, auto folding mirrors, cold weather package are new options since last summer. Other wish list options such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rocket launchers will be available option SOON.
I'm sure others are trying to say that some new hardware features may take longer to develop / introduce to the public. AWD may just be the long awaited option that some buyers have been asking for but won't be available until MX is on sales.
It will allow TM to divert the limited resources on the new model and then trickle down to the MS. It's really a waiting game for now.
@Mathew98: I agree :) I really want Tesla to continue to be the best car available to purchase and I hope they continue to innovate and add desirable features to the car.
With the limited resources, I completely understand them wanting to get the MX out and when that happens they would have essentially solved the logistics of adding AWD to the MS as they share the same platform. Hopefully not too long after that, we will be able to buy a MS with AWD...
Improving the Tesla Model S...
In terms of options and feature sets, I think there are two main types: Electronic Advances; and Creature Comforts.
Electronic Advances will be the easiest to develop, implement, and add to the existing platform. This is where the sheer awesomeness of making the Tesla Model S 'a computer on wheels' shines through.
Essentially, they can be achieved by adding sensors and upgrading software. In some cases Tesla Motors will be able to add software that re-purposes existing hardware to add such features as lines overlaying the backup camera in software. In others, hardware will have to be added to the car, in the form of sensors, actuators, solenoids, cameras, and additional circuit boards. Those will be among the simplest to accomplish, but will take time to get right.
Be patient and you will see them all before long.
Creature Comforts are harder to implement because of the checks and balances involved with building an electric car. People have complained incessantly about the lack of 'luxury' features that 'everybody else has' on their cars being mysteriously 'missing' on the Tesla Model S.
One thing we must not overlook is that each of those incremental additions adds weight to the car. Tesla's original design philosophy, especially for the interior of the car, was to eliminate many of the components that were holdovers from carriage and coach design from the horse and buggy era. First, to show that this was a forward thinking, futuristic vehicle from a new company. Second, to eliminate the weight that is associated directly with those items, since the versions that illicit a tone of quality and luxury are without fail far heavier than most people realize.
Please allow Tesla some time to provide the fit, finish, and features that are expected in a premium car line, without compromising performance.
I'm sure this brings to mind that wonderful question, "What's taking them so long?"
Patience, patience, patience... Methinks that once a really big battery pack is available, there will no longer be any compromises whatsoever when it comes to luxury items appearing in any Tesla product. Rather than simply being a trim level that ups performance, when a 120 kWh, 135 kWh, or better version of the battery pack is offered, there will be absolutely nothing to prevent offering every single 'missing' luxury interior feature in the Tesla Model S and Model X. That will bring them 'up to par' and beyond their competitors on all points. Albeit, at a higher price point that will be lambasted as being 'only for rich people'.
Can there really be a better motivation for getting rich?

That is what my mom has done my whole life-- for the past few years, though, I've screaming right back preemptively (yelling I'M OKAY, IT'S FINE, DON'T EFFING YELL AT ME), and this tends to nip it in the bud.
But I totally grew up getting ranted at every time I got injured/sick. And we had Peachcare (state health insurance for minor children, they pay for everything as long as you pay a monthly fee that is income-based), so it wasn't like we had no insurance, lol. She was just really bad and would say shit like "Oh my god, what did you do now?" right when I'd trip/fall/etc and then rant in the doctor's office later, lol. Only way I could get her to not yell was to cry. I don't think she was really mad, it was just how she dealt with it-- I think it scared her in the moment, or something, and sometimes scared people get angry. I was always getting hurt.
The plus side is I learned how fall and keep a straight face! I can literally fall down a flight of stairs and land on both feet, lol. Except that one time when I faceplanted the front door and my ankle folded outward and I ended up with severe tendonitis of the ankle... That time sucked.

Man found dead at T in the Park festival as police probe filmed attack
A MAN has been found dead at the T in the Park festival.
A man's body has been found at T in the Park festival
The 36-year-old man was found on a campsite at the festival at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire this afternoon.
Police Scotland are treating his death as unexplained.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
In 2010 David Catto, of Aberdeen, died at the festival, Scotland's largest.
The same year saw attempted murder and sexual assault investigations launched, when two 20-year-old men were found with serious abdominal injuries and a woman was pushed to the ground and assaulted.
This year a shocking video has been circulated on Facebook showing an assault which is believed to have happened on the campsite at the festival.
T in the Park acts have included Jessie J and Sam Smith
Around 85,000 people are expected at T in the Park festival on both Saturday and Sunday
Police are appealing for information.
Superintendent Colin Brown said: "The vast majority of people have enjoyed themselves and taken our advice and behaved responsibly.
"However, a small number have ignored that advice and have been dealt with.
"Our advice is simple - look after yourselves and your friends, behave and have a good time."
About 85,000 revellers are expected at the festival both today and tomorrow.
Kasabian, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds are just some of the acts performing this weekend.

Just got connected to V/fone VDSL last night, installed router, and it connected fine. Setup Wifi, connected my Windows phone , and wifes laptop to the Wifi and all seemed good.... then a few hours later my wife complained that her RDP sesison to work kept dying - so ran basic diagnostics and found the wifi was dropping traffic after a couple of mins (inc local network).
Found that for some reason it was looking for our old Orcon router.... so rmeoved all wifi connections and re-connected to the Vodafone router wifi - connects but no traffic at all now.
Same with my Windows phone.... says its connected, but no traffic at all.
I turned off the 5ghz to see if that made any difference but nope.
Anyone know why this is happening ? Firmware upgrade available maybe ?
I havent reset the router yet and would like to avoid doing so if possible (the whole 10 day tweaking thing ) but may not have a choice....
Solved! See solution
Looks like issue resolved - I was using the same SSID as my previous router which appears to have caused an issue.
Changed SSID and seems to be fine now
peelola, I advise you try the same if you are trying to use an old SSID name
I can't actually help, so sorry about that.
I came here to report the same thing. I have had issues with the router myself. An iPhone wouldnt connect to the WiFi the past couple of days (it was fine last week) and I thought it was an issue with the phone. The last thing I did (after resetting the network settings on the phone) was factory reset the router and then the phone connected fine.
On some laptops I am connected to the WiFi, but cannot always connect to the internet, then suddenly after 5 minutes of trying/waiting I can connect.
Being honest, since I've had the router, the router's performance has been very poor and I am getting more and more frustrated. I had no issues with the old ADSL service and router supplied by Vodafone, but this one has been nothing but trouble. I get fantastic speeds on VDSL, just the performance of the router is letting the service down.
Looks like issue resolved - I was using the same SSID as my previous router which appears to have caused an issue.

I went onto VDSL 2 weeks ago and the speed performance is amazing, but i am having similar wifi problems!
for no reason, one of the many computers, phones or tablets suddenly loses wifi anbd when you try to reconnect, it says unable to.
I reboot the modem and it works fine. But this happens often to other computers in the house.
I have used my old ADSL modem as a wifi router only in the house and connected its lan port to the new modem and the wifi on this works fine all the time...no disconnections or problems connecting.
Also, sometimes when connected via wifi, I lose the net, but if I connect to the modem via cable, it is fine.
It is obvious there is a problem with the wifi section of the modem and I have asked for a replacement.
Hi @howardk - are you using the same SSID and password on your new modem as what you had on your old one?
I have had my modem replaced but still experiencing the same problems...two of my colleagues are having the same issues as are several others on this forum.
I have borrowed a wifi router and disabled the wifi on the HG659 modem. *(I have even disabled my cordless phone)
I have connected the wifi router via ethernet to the HG659 modem and it works perfectly!!!
Just to mention that I am a professional IT engineer and that my conclusion is that the wifi in the HG659 has some serious issues and Vodafone need to address this asap!
Yup, my wifi issues are back, at least once a week (always seems to be a Thursday for some reason) the wifi dies.
The status on the router shows the Wifi as being up, devices will connect but not get any internet access. Usually a reboot of the router fixes it, but today, no go.
Ive turned off 5ghz and set 2.4 to run only b/g - awaiting the wife to return home to see if thats made any difference. (Im at work remoting into my wired PC)
Also not impressed that theres two admin logins - one that we can access to supposedly change settings on the device and another that Vodafone techs can use which actually does make changes on the device - and yes, I have tested both logins and found the latter seems to apply settings properly, whereas the "user" one does not always work.
Is there any other VDSL unit available that I can try as this one is doing my head in......
Right, wife got back home, restarted her laptop and same issue.... wifi connected but no internet connectivity. Went to my wired PC, and gets online via that.
Is doing our heads in (wife works from home and relies on the wifi), so we need a solution - I know we could go out and buy another AP, but thats 1) extra cost to purchase 2) more power used.
Hi @xpd ,
Really sorry to hear you're still having trouble with this one - I've had a word with the right folks internally who tell me it's worth getting a ticket logged with the faults team so we can investigate, troubleshoot, & if necessary pass feedback on to the vendor.

The Winnipeg General Strike: A Revolution
The Winnipeg General Strike was one of the greatest strikes in Canadian history.
It was very important in history because it was a turning point in the Canadian labour
scene we have today. The Winnipeg General Strike and the strikers' actions played a
major role in shaping Canada's present day identity. Although it changed little at the
time, the strike truly has shaped the Canada we know today. Rising revolutionary
industrial unionism, the success of the Russian Revolution and the definite outcome of
the strike along with the lessons learned all contributed to our labour scene. This strike
was very different from any prior ones. It was one of the most influential strikes in
Canadian history that had changed Canada forever.
Times were hard for Canadian workers after the first World War. Prices were
rising much faster than wages. Jobs were hard to find after the war. On May 15, 1919,
Winnipeg stopped working. It was the first day of the Winnipeg General Strike. It was
the height of many years of workers' frustration and anger. At stake was the principle of
collective bargaining, better wages and the improvement of often dreadful working
conditions. Within hours almost 30 000 workers had left their jobs. The strike was
coordinated by the Central Strike Committee, composed of delegates elected from each
of the unions associated with the WTLC. The committee bargained with employers on
behalf of the workers and coordinated the provision of essential services. "The majority
of the strikers…contended that the strike was a last resort weapon used by the workers to
gain the rights of collective bargaining and to obtain higher wages."[1] The workers may
have had other ways of dealing with these problems but eventually turned to a strike. "A
tight labour market had allowed workers to unionize more effectively and socialist and
labourist ideas had...

The latest news for #StarTrekDiscovery has not been happy. After the show was pushed back 6 months, Bryan Fuller partially exited because of clashing commitments. Then, all fell silent for a while — aside from CBS saying that Star Trek had no place on broadcast TV, despite the huge success it's had over decades on... broadcast TV. But now, finally, the first cast member has been announced, and she's awesome.
Exec and co-writer Nicholas Meyer (Wrath of Khan, The Undiscovered Country) told ComingSoon that Michelle Yeoh would appear in Discovery. It was later revealed by Deadline that the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star will be playing a Captain.
This counts Yeoh out as playing the lead character, who we know to be a Lieutenant Commander. And Yeoh's character — called Captain Georgiou — won't be sitting at the helm of the USS Discovery either.
Another Ship, Another Story
Captain Georgiou will be commanding the Shenzou, which seems to be named after China's first manned spacecraft, launched in 2003. Because of its reference to Earth history, it seems highly likely that the USS Shenzou is a Starfleet vessel.
While it may seem odd that the first casting news for Discovery is for a someone who isn't even based on the eponymous ship, that's not to say that Georgiou won't be a major character.
A while ago, Fuller hinted that Star Trek: Discovery would break out of the traditional structure and focus on more than one crew, explaining that this made more sense for modern serialized storytelling.
"I think we will be seeing lots of crews in the story. One of the things that is exciting for me is that we are telling a 'Star Trek' story in a modern way. We're telling a 13-chapter story in this first season. It's nice to be able to dig deep into things that would have been breezed passed if we were doing episodic and had to contain a story to an episode."
With the exception of Deep Space Nine (which used serialized plot arcs), all the Star Trek shows have had a predominantly episodic structure. Nowadays, many TV shows lean towards serialization: Longer, complex plots that are drawn out over several episodes, or the entire season.
Such a structure is very narratively rigorous, and dividing the main cast over several ships is an interesting way to adapt Star Trek to a more modern style.
More Characters Rumored
Although it is surprising that the first character revealed for Star Trek: Discovery is not one serving on the titular vessel, this does confirm what Fuller hinted at — that we'll be seeing several ships in this show, and probably following characters on each of them. A few weeks ago, a cast list of sorts was released by The Hollywood Reporter:
Sources tell THR that the rest of the cast also will feature an openly gay actor as one of the male leads (which Fuller confirmed), a female admiral, a male Klingon captain, a male admiral, a male adviser and a British male doctor.
At the time, we were somewhat disheartened to learn how male-heavy the Discovery cast would be, but Michelle Yeoh's casting has thrown this previous report into doubt, as her captain character doesn't seem to be listed. It's very encouraging that the first actor to be cast isn't only a woman, but a woman of color — in a position of authority no less.
This is something of a first for Star Trek, as although there have been women of color playing captains and admirals before, these are usually very minor roles. Yeoh also adds some more Asian representation to Trek, as there have only been three Asian main characters so far: Lt Hikaru Sulu on The Original Series, Ensign Harry Kim in Voyager, and Ensign Hoshi Sato on Enterprise.
As for the rest of the cast, the only report we've had is the one from THR, and a few more hints from Fuller — he revealed that "there will be robots" as part of the crew, and that Spock's mother Amanda may make an appearance.
Although we haven't had much news about Star Trek: Discovery, the little we do know is very exciting, and with any luck we'll get more official casting news soon.
Tell us in the comments: Do you have a dream cast for Discovery?

The Event Trailer (2015)
"Three days that shook the world or much ado about nothing?" 02 September 2015 Factual 74 mins
In August 1991 a failed coup d'état attempt (known as Putsch) led by a group of hard-core communists in Moscow, ended the 70-year-long rule of the Soviets. The USSR collapsed soon after, and the tricolour of the sovereign Russian Federation flew over Kremlin. As president Gorbachev was detained by the coup leaders, state-run TV and radio channels, usurped by the putschists, broadcast Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" instead of news bulletins, and crowds of protestors gathered around Moscow's White House, preparing to defend the stronghold of democratic opposition led by Boris Yeltsin, in the city of Leningrad thousands of confused, scared, excited and desperate people poured into the streets to become a part of the event, which was supposed to change their destiny. A quarter of a century later, Sergei Loznitsa revisits the dramatic moments of August 1991 and casts an eye on the event which was hailed worldwide as the birth of "Russian democracy".

The wisdom and artistry of Latin America's storytellers preserve one of the world's richest folktale traditionscombining the lore of medieval Europe, the ancient Near East, and pre-Columbian America. Among the essential characters are the quiet man's wife who knew the Devil's secrets, the tree daughters who robbed their father's grave, and the wife in disguise who married her own husbandnot to mention the Bear's son, the tricksters Fox and Monkey, the two compadres, and the classic rogue Pedro de Urdemalas.
Gathered from twenty countries, including the United States, the stories are here brought together in a core collection of one hundred tales arranged in the form of a velorio, or wake, the most frequent occasion for public storytelling. The tales are preceded by a selection of early Colonial legends foreshadowing the themes of Latino folklore and are followed by a carefully chosen group of modern Indian myths that replay the basic stories in a contrasting key. Riddles, chain riddles, and folk prayers, part and parcel of the velorio along with folktales, are introduced at appropriate junctures.
The collection is unprecedented in size and scope, and most of the tales have not been translated into English before. The result is the first panoramic anthology of Hispano-American folk narratives in any languagemeant to be dipped into at random or read straight through from "Once and twice makes thrice upon a time" to "They were happy as the dickens and ate chickens."
Part of the Pantheon fairy tale and folklore library, this rich collection is creatively edited and carefully annotated with an additional glossary and listing by motif. An excellent introduction will help the teacher or advanced reader, but the tales are accessible to all. Bierhorst has carefully arranged first the Inca and Aztec tales from the colonial era, then the tales gathered in the 20th century, set out in the format of a velorio, or wake, nine nights of stories told to keep those mourning the dead awake throughout the night. While many of the stories are clearly forms adapted from European folk and fairy tales brought to the New World by colonizers, even the most familiar, the Cinderella-like stories, have their own flavor and twists. The stories are short, many less than a page, often humorous, and just as often teaching a moral lesson. People turn into animals and then back again, die and rise, trick and are tricked, entrancing the reader. More than 100 stories from 20 Hispanic countries are jam-packed into this volume, many appearing for the first time in English. This valuable compilation is highly recommended. KLIATT Codes: JSA*-Exceptional book, recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2002, Random House, Pantheon, 386p. notes. bibliog., Ages 12 to adult.

Photo: Stanford Declares Itself "The Nation's Best Athletics Program"
With its 2014 victory, Stanford has taken home its 20th straight Director's Cup. The Cup, which awards points for every NCAA-sponsored sport, has been around since 1993-94. UNC beat out Stanford for the top spot that first year, but the Cardinal have won every cup since, and now Stanford feels that it has the data to back up a pretty bold claim.

Recently, Stanford Athletics has been best known for a BCS-quality football program, but its the Cardinal non-revenue sports that propel Stanford to the top. During the 20 year run, the Cardinal have taken home NCAA Championships in men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's gymnastics, men's and women's swimming & diving, men's and women's tennis, men's track and field, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's water polo, rowing, synchronized swimming, and women's soccer.
